SoftWare: Courage, my friends! Onward!

Copier: (Faces Akiru) Is he always like this?

Akiru: Don't ask.

Chapter Two

Battle of the Giants

(Light District, Duel Park)

Akiru walked through Satellite, having detected an unidentified Duelist at the Duel Park. He walked there, Duel Disc ready. As he arrived, he saw a boy of about 10 sitting next to a Duel Terminal. Approaching the boy, Akiru spoke up. "Who are you?" The boy faced him. "I'm the Copier. I copied the Deck of a Duelist named Akiru." Akiru raised an eyebrow. "You copied my Deck?" The Copier's eyes went wide. "You're Akiru?! Cool!" Akiru sighed. "I don't want to be mean, but it's not a Deck that makes a Duelist, it's skill." (A/N- Ironic, isn't it?) The Copier stared him down. "Bring it." Akiru sighed. "If I must, to get the point through to you." He activated his Duel Disc. "Let's Duel!"

(Akiru: 4000)

(Copier: 4000)

The Copier decided to take the initiative. "I'll start us off. I draw!" He grinned at his card, and said, "I Summon Genex Neutron in Attack Mode!"

(Genex Neutron appeared: a level 4 monster with 1800 ATK)

"Now, I discard Level Eater to Special Summon Quickdraw Synchron!"

(Quickdraw Synchron appeared: a level 5 monster with 700 ATK)

That move surprised Akiru. But the Copier wasn't done. "I use the ability of Level Eater to bring it back!"

(Level Eater appeared: a level 1 monster with 600 ATK)

"Yeah! I Set one card, and you're up!"Akiru was surprised. "You copied my Synchron deck? I thought you meant the Deck that was stolen." He drew his card. 'Let's see what he's up to.' "I'll Summon my own Genex Neutron!"

(Same as before)

"He attacks your Level Eater!" 'I play Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! The attack is negated!" Akiru sighed. "I Set a card, and end my turn, and as I do, I choose a Tuner monster from my Deck to add to my hand." 'What's his plan?' The Copier drew his card. "Yes! I play Card of Sanctity! We both draw until we have six cards in our hands!" They did so, and then the Copier did something unexpected. "I release my three monsters!" That got Akiru's attention. "Three releases? You're either going for Gilford the Lightning, or-. A God Card?!" The Copier grinned. "I Summon Slifer the Sky Dragon!" A large serpentine dragon flew overhead, its red scales reflecting the afternoon sun.

(Slifer the Sky Dragon appeared: a level 10 monster with ? ATK)

The Copier grinned. "His Attack and Defense Points are equal to the number of cards in my hand times 1000!"

(Slifer's ATK: 5000)

"Attack his Genex Neutron!" "I play my own Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!" As the attack failed, and the battle ended, the Copier faced him. "Just remember, if you play anything in Attack Mode, it loses 2000 Attack Points, and if that brings it down to 0, it's destroyed!" Akiru knew what he had to do. He drew his card. When he saw what it was, he was shocked. "I never put this card in my Deck!" The Copier faced him. "Huh?" Akiru sighed. "You asked for it. First, I discard Level Eater to Special Summon Quickdraw Synchron!"

(Same as before, only in Defense Mode, with 1400 DEF)

"Now, I use the effect of the Level Eater in my Graveyard to Summon it back!"

(Same as before, only in Defense Mode, with 0 DEF)

The Copier was understandably confused. "Huh?" Akiru held up the card he'd drawn. "I now release my three monsters!" The Copier was surprised. "What?" "Rise up, The Winged Dragon of Ra!" A large yellow sphere descended from the sky, before expanding into a bird of prey.

(The Winged Dragon of Ra appeared: a level 10 monster with ? ATK)

Akru sighed. "His Attack and Defense Points are equal to the combined Attack Points of the monsters used to Summon him." (A/N- I'm using the anime effect.)

(Ra's ATK: 3100)

The Copier was not impressed. "Even so, it's not strong enough to defeat Slifer!" Akiru grinned. "First, by paying 1000 Life Points, The Winged Dragon of Ra can destroy any monster!" The bird of prey flew up into the air, before diving in a fireball, obliterating Slifer.

(Akiru: 3000)

"Next, by paying all but 1 of my Life Points, The Winged Dragon of Ra gains the amount I pay into Attack and Defense Points!"

(Akiru: 1)

(Ra's ATK: 5099)

The Copier began to sweat. "No!" "Winged Dragon of Ra, finish this!" The Copier yelled as he went flying.

(Copier: 0)

(Akiru: WIN)

Akiru faced his fallen opponent. "Do us both a favor, and build a Deck that matches your style." He began to walk away. The Copier spoke up. "What about Slifer?" Akiru didn't turn around. "Keep it. As long as you have it, I think you can do well for yourself." With that, he kept walking. The Copier watched him leave, before getting up, and going to the Card Pits, to find cards to use to build a personal Deck.

A/N

SoftWare: That ended well.

Akiru: I still don't understand how The Winged Dragon of Ra appeared in my Deck.

SoftWare: Think of it as getting lucky.
