Unbelievably no one had heard about the incident that had taken place on the Daedalus Bridge. Sector Security was doing everything they could to keep it quiet. A whole day had passed and not a trace of the mysterious duelist could be found. It was like he vanished into thin air.

"One soul… One soul that is hardly worth a cockroach's waste… I need more souls… souls of true duelists… I need the soul of Yusei Fudo… To him I'm just an urban legend… because of that he has no reason to fear me… I must make him fear me… And I know just how to do it…"

"Leo, stop playing with the lights."

"Hey, I'm not doing anything!"

At that moment the lights just stopped.

"Jumping jehosaphat! Who let one?!"

Suddenly the building's fire alarm went off.

"FIRE!!! FIRE!!!"

Leo and Luna started to make for the door, but someone entered before they could reach it.

"AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!"

"Who are you?!"

"My name is Damian, and I challenge the two of you to a duel."

"Uh… Sorry sir, but our parents told us not to duel strangers, especially ones that have a flaming skull for a head." said Leo.

"I'm afraid I must insist."

Damian snapped his fingers and they were all surrounded by a ring of fire.

"What is this? Is he some kind of Dark Signer we missed?!"

"No… I'm a hell of a lot worse. Now are we going to duel or what?"

"Luna, I don't think he's giving us much of a choice in the matter."

"Hmm… Tell you what; I'll let the two of you duel me at the same time if it makes you feel better."

"Two against one? There's no way you can beat the two of us at the same time!" said Leo.

"We shall see."

"Let's duel!!!"

"I'll make the first move. I summon a monster in defense mode, next I'll place two cards face down on the field. Now I activate the continuous spell card, Contract with the Devil!"

"Not that! Wait a minute… I've never heard of that card."

"Neither have I." said Luna.

"That's because I've got the only one."

"What does it do?"

"During the turn I activate it I need to discard my entire hand, but it's worth it because from now on during my draw phases I get to draw two cards instead of one."

"Why would he willingly discard his entire hand?" thought Luna.

"Ladies first, it's your turn little girl."

"Okay… I summon a monster in defense mode and end my turn."

"Luna, is that all you can do? Guess it's up to me. I summon Morphtronic Celfon in attack mode!"

(ATK: 100 DEF: 100)

"Now I'll activate his special effect, he randomly dials a number and I get to look at a number of cards on the top of my deck equal to the number it lands on… It's a four! So I get to look at the top four cards… and I special summon Morphtronic Boomboxen in defense mode!"

(ATK: 1200 DEF: 400)

"Is that all you've got? Then I guess it's my turn again… I play the spell card Dark World Dealings, now we all draw one card from our decks and send one card in our hands to the graveyard, and this activates my facedown trap, Appropriate!"

"What does that do?"

"Whenever my opponent, or in this case opponents, draws outside their draw phases I get to draw two cards from my deck, like right now. Next I'll summon a monster in defense mode and end my turn."

"All he's done is draw cards and play defense. What's he waiting for? Wait, maybe he's planning to sacrifice those two monsters for something, I can't let that happen."

Luna drew her card.

"I play a card facedown and summon Dancing Fairy!"

(ATK: 1700 DEF: 1000)

"Next I activate the spell card Double Summon, and I'll use it to summon Sunny Pixie!"

(ATK: 300 DEF: 400)

"And I'll switch my face down Dreamsprite to attack mode!"

(ATK: 300 DEF: 200)

"Now I'll tune my Sunny Pixie to Dreamsprite and Dancing Fairy to synchro summon Ancient Fairy Dragon!"

(ATK: 2100 DEF: 3000)

"And since I used Sunny Pixie to synchro summon a light attribute monster, I gain 1000 life points."

(Luna: 5000)

"Ancient Fairy Dragon, attack and destroy his face down monster!"

Ancient Fairy Dragon blew away one of Damian's face down cards, which turned out to be Sangan.

"Now that's more like it!" said Leo.

"Don't forget, since you destroyed my Sangan, I now get to take a monster with 1500 or fewer attack points from my deck and add it to my hand."

"Whatever, It's my turn now! I use Morphtronic Celfon's effect, it's a three, and I'll special summon Morphtronic Remoten!"

(ATK: 300 DEF: 1200)

"Now I'll tune him with my Morphtronic Boomboxen to synchro summon Power Tool Dragon!"

(ATK: 2300 DEF: 2500)

"Now I'll equip him with the spell card Fairy Meteor Crush!"

"I don't think so kid, I activate my face down trap, Dark Bribe!"

Leo's spell card vanished.

"It negates the activation of your spell card, however you get to draw one card from you deck, and since I have my Appropriate trap in play that means I get to draw two more cards from my deck."

"Whatever, Power Tool Dragon, attack his face down monster!"

Power Tool Dragon destroyed Damian's face down monster, which turned out to be the Witch of the Black Forest.

"Since you destroyed my Black Forest Witch, I get to take a monster from my deck with 1500 or fewer defense points."

"Whatever, just make your move!"

"Hmm… Let's see, those two synchro monsters pose something of a threat to my life points… So I'll just have to block them."

Damian drew his two cards.

"I summon a monster in defense mode. Next I play the spell card Double Summon, and I'll use it to summon another monster in defense mode."

"More defenses, I know Leo and I have two powerful monsters on the field, but playing defense is all he's done this entire duel."

Luna looked at the cards in her hand.

"I activate the equip spell Horn of the Unicorn, and I'll equip it to Ancient Fairy Dragon!"

(ATK: 2800 DEF: 3700)

"Ancient Fairy Dragon, attack his face down monster!"

Ancient Fairy Dragon blasted Damian's face down monster, but when the smoke cleared it was still there.

(ATK: 0 DEF: 0)

"What?! But that monster has no defense points, it should have been destroyed!"

"Normally that would be true, but my Demon with a shield monster can't be destroyed in battle, or by the effects of spell or trap cards, and that more than makes up for its lack of points."

"But if we can't get past that monster, then we can't deal damage to his life points… unless… Leo, do you have some spell cards to spare?"

Leo knew exactly what Luna was thinking.

"I equip my Morphtronic Celfon with Morptronic Cord and Megamorph! Take it Luna!"

"I activate the trap card Fairy Wind, now all the face up spell and trap cards on the field are destroyed, and we all take damage equal to the number of cards destroyed times 300!"

When Fairy Wind took effect Luna was shocked to see that one of Damian's cards wasn't destroyed.

"Sorry kid, but my Contract with the Devil spell card can't be destroyed by monster, spell, or trap effects. The devil creates a binding contract; after all… a deal's a deal."

"Okay, he's really freaking me out now." thought Leo.

"I doesn't matter." said Luna "Thanks to Fairy Wind four spell or trap cards were destroyed, so we all still lose 1200 life points!"

(Damian: 2800)

(Luna: 3800)

(Leo: 2800)

"And it's still my turn." said Leo "Just because one of your monsters can't be destroyed in battle doesn't mean they all can't! Power Tool Dragon, attack his other face down monster!"

Power Tool Dragon destroyed Damian's face down monster, but Damian was actually laughing.

"Since you destroyed my Emissary of the Afterlife we all take a level 3 or lower normal monster from our decks and show them to each other, then that card gets added to our hands."

"I choose Tenderness." said Luna.

"I choose… Wait! I don't have any normal type monsters in my deck!" exclaimed Leo.

"In that case I'll just pick my card, and I choose Left Arm of the Forbidden One."

"Forbidden One!" exclaimed Leo "No way! You're going to summon Exodia!?!"

"Yes, but not yet. I need all five pieces in my hand to do that, and right now I'm one card short. So for now I'll just play this monster in defense mode and end my turn."

"Now we know what he's planning." thought Luna "But there's nothing in my hand that can do a thing about it, and since he has that Demon with a Shield protecting him we can't touch his life points."

Since Luna's Horn of the Unicorn had been destroyed by Fairy Wind's effect, it was sent to the top of her deck, but it wasn't something she needed right now.

"I pass, there's nothing I can do."

"We've got to beat this guy before he gets that last piece of Exodia!" thought Leo.

He drew his card.

"Perfect! I Summon Morphtronic Radion in attack mode!"

(ATK: 1000 DEF: 900)

"And since he's in attack mode he gains 800 attack points!"

(ATK: 1800)

"Next I activate the equip spell Double Tool C&D and equip it to my Power Tool Dragon!"

(ATK: 3300)

"Not only does he get an attack boost, but when he attacks the effects of the target monster are negated, so your Demon with a Shield is helpless!"

Luna felt a rush of hope flow through her, Leo's plan might actually work.

"Power Tool Dragon, attack and destroy his Demon with a Shield!"

The drill attached to Power Tool Dragon drilled right through Demon with a shield.

"Now Morphtronic Radion, attack and destroy his face down monster!"

Morphtronic Radion destroyed Damian's face down monster, but Leo was horrified when he found out what it was.

"NO! ANOTHER EMISSARY OF THE AFTERLIFE!!!"

"Yes, which means I get to take another level three or lower normal monster from my deck… and the Right Arm of the Forbidden One makes five!"

At that moment Exodia broke free from the seal that contained it.

"EXODIA! This would be a lot cooler if I we weren't on the receiving end!" thought Leo.

"Exodia, OBLITERATE!!!"

Leo and Luna's monsters were blown away by Exodia's attack, then they were blown into the wall.

"You lose, now it's time I claim my prize."

Luna started glowing.

"Luna! What's the matter?!"

"Leo! HELP ME!!!"

Before Leo could move Luna was engulfed in fire. Then a blank card Damian was holding flashed. For a moment he stood there and examined his prize.

"One down… Four to go."

He had taken the first of the five signers, but what to do with her brother?

"AGH!!! DON'T HURT ME! DON'T HURT ME!!!"

Damian grabbed Leo by the shoulders and hoisted him off the ground.

"If I let you live… what are you going to do?" he growled.

"WHATEVER YOU WANT ME TO DO!!!"

Damian smiled, and even though the demon's hands felt like it was on fire, Leo felt a cold shiver down his spine.

"Find the other signers… Tell them that Damian the Bad is coming."

"I'll tell them! I'll tell everybody!"

Satisfied, Damian threw Leo into the wall, then he pressed his fingers to his lips and whistled. The next thing Leo saw was a fiery dragon like duel runner bursting in through the window.

"MWAH HA AH AH HA AH!!!"

Damian mounted the runner and to Leo's horror he sped right out the wall, Leo looked out the hole in the wall in time to see the horrifying specter onboard his runner speeding down the building's walls heading for the street below. Leo could feel his pants getting warm, it took him only a moment to realize he had wet himself.
