SoftWare: On we go.
Akiru: At long last, the Duel I was actually looking forward to telling them about.
SoftWare: Really?
Akiru: Yeah, it was the day I retrieved a portion of my memory.
SoftWare: Oh, yes.
Chapter Three
Discovering the Truth
(Light District, Akiru's Hideout)
Akiru faced the God Card laying on his nightstand. He was still unsure of how it had appeared during his
Duel with the Copier. As he thought this, a bright light glowed, and Akiru saw a sight outside of his window
that surprised him: The Winged Dragon of Ra in its spirit form. He faced it. "How did you get in my Deck?"
The God Card faced him. "I have chosen you to be my keeper." Akiru faced him. "Why?" Ra kept his
gaze on him. "Because of your power. When your memory returns, you will know of what I
speak." Akiru kept his face on him. "Well, how do I get them back?" The spirit sighed. "If any part of you
has remained from your childhood, it is your impatience. Tomorrow, you will face a trial. Pass it,
and I will guide you to the path to your memories." Akiru nodded.
(Next morning)
Akiru entered his kitchen, and downed a glass of apple cider. After that, he walked outside, and saw a
person wearing shades, and a blue winter coat. "Can I help you?" The person raised a Duel Disc. "Hello,
there. I've been waiting for you." Akiru raised an eyebrow. "For what?" The person chuckled. "Who do you
think stole your original Deck?" Akiru shot up, and armed his Duel Disc. "Then why come back?" The
Duelist faced him. "Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Light." Akiru made no reply. "To answer your
question, you are a threat, and must be eliminated." Light activated his Duel Disc, before slipping Akiru's
old deck into the slot. "Let's Duel!"
(Akiru: 4000)
(Light: 4000)
Light snorted. "I will start." He drew a card, and faced Akiru. "I play Painful Choice. I choose five cards
from the Deck, and you choose one to add to my hand. The others go to the Graveyard." Light picked out
the five cards, and spoke. "Your choices are Queen's Knight, King's Knight, Jack's Knight, Level Warrior,
and Lightray Gearfried." Akiru stiffened at the mention of his favorite monster. He grimaced. 'Sorry,
partner.' "I choose Jack's Knight." Light nodded knowingly. "Unwilling to allow your favorite card to be
controlled. I understand." After sending the four cards to the Graveyard, he said, "I Set a monster and end
my turn. Akiru drew a card, and said, "This is it, Light. First, by discarding a monster, I special Summon
Quickdraw Synchron!"
(Quickdraw Synchron appeared: a level 5 monster with 700 ATK)
"Next, by discarding a monster from my hand, I Special Summon Jet Synchron from my Graveyard!"
(Jet Synchron appeared: a level 1 monster with 100 ATK)
"Now, by reducing Quickdraw Synchron's level by 1, I can Special Summon Level Eater from my
Graveyard!"
(Level Eater appeared: a level 1 monster with 600 ATK)
"Finally, I Normal Summon Genex Neutron!"
(Genex Neutron appeared: a level 4 monster with 1800 ATK)
"I Tune Quickdraw Synchron with Level Eater to Synchro Summon Jet Warrior!"
(Jet Warrior appeared: a level 5 Synchro monster with 2100 ATK)
"I also Tune Jet Synchron with Genex Neutron to Synchro Summon Accel Synchron!"
(Accel Synchron appeared: a level 5 Synchro monster with 2100 DEF)
Light was very surprised. "Synchros do not become you." Akiru glared at him. "Then don't take my Deck!
Jet Warrior, use your ability! Return that Set monster to Light's hand!" After the monster was returned,
Akiru pointed at Light. "Now attack him directly! Soaring Fist!"
(Light: 1900)
Light simply chuckled. "Sorry, but you can't attack anymore." Akiru was not giving up. "I activate the
Quick-Play Spell Card Limit Overdrive! By returning Jet Warrior and Accel Synchron to the Extra Deck, I
can bring out a Synchro monster that is their combined level! Let's welcome Stardust Warrior!"
(Stardust Warrior appeared: a level 10 Synchro monster with 3000 ATK)
Light paled. "Oh, dear." "Since it was a Quick-play Spell, I can still attack! Go, Cosmic Fist!"
(Light: 0)
Light got up, before facing Akiru. "Well done. But this is not the end. Here is your Deck. Enjoy it while you
still have it." With that, he walked off. Akiru watched him leave, before feeling a headache, and seeing a
girl in his head, a girl who looked familiar. "Who is she?" Ra's spirit appeared above him. "You are
familiar with the Black Forest, are you not?" Akiru nodded. "There is a hibernation chamber there.
That is the fastest way to regain your lost memories." Akiru nodded, and after placing his old Deck
into his Disc after making sure all the cards were there, he walked there, before reaching the chamber. He
sighed. "Well, goodbye, Akiru, hello whatever my real name is." He walked into the chamber, and as the
doors closed around him, he said, "Until we meet again, Light."
SoftWare: Surprise!
Akiru: We finally got to it. Now, can I change my name back?
SoftWare: Not until the next chapter.
Akiru: Oh, right.
Computer: SoftWare, offline.
