SoftWare: On we go.
Akiru: When can I get my name back?
SoftWare: During the A/N at the end.
Akiru: Oh, all right.
Chapter Four
Light VS. Darkness
"It has been four months since Akiru entered the hibernation chamber. Since then, he has awoken, and
has regained his memory, including his name. His power, which vanished at the end of the Yiliaster War,
has returned. Rise again, Leo."
(Shade District)
Six figures wearing black cloaks stood in a hexagonal room, facing each other. The leader faced one of his
underlings. "Dark, my friend, I appreciate you donating some of your robes." Another underling spoke up.
"Yeah, dude, thanks!" A third Elemental spoke up. "And they have pockets! Sweet!" He gave Dark a
thumbs up. The fourth simply nodded in appreciation. These four, Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind, waited for
their leader's next words. Dark faced the others. "You're welcome." Facing the leader, he asked, "What do
you need us for, Light?" Out of all the Elementals, Dark was the only one who could call Light by name.
"Simple, my friend. You are aware of the six Duelists chosen by the Presenter for his Crimson injections?"
They all nodded. "Two of them were not affected in the way I and the others were. I am one of the six, and
another is in Satellite. Before, he had no memory, and called himself Akiru, but that has since changed. He
has regained his memory. His real name is Leo Kasimoto. As he has regained his former power, I need
time to prepare for our final battle." Facing Dark, he said, "I need you to delay him as long as possible. If
you win, bring him here. If not, you know what will happen." Dark nodded. "I'll buy you some time, Light."
Light nodded. "I know. Unlike the other Elementals, you never fail me. Good luck."
(Light District, just outside of the Black Forest)
Leo walked forward, and looked around. He took note of the area, and his mark, which had been dormant,
glowed on his arm. A sign of danger. Leo looked up, and said, "Light, I've regained my memory. When I
find you, you're going to tell me who the person is who gave me that injection, what the drug was that was
injected, and where I can find this person." Walking on, Leo took note of a person in a black cloak standing
in the Duel Park. Curious, he walked over. When he arrived, the cloaked Duelist faced him. "Leo Kasimoto.
Bearer of the Heart of the Crimson Dragon, and keeper of Life Stream Dragon." Leo faced him. "And you
are?" The figure turned to him. "Call me Dark. I'm here by order of Light, to Duel you." Leo raised an
eyebrow. "How many underlings does Light have?" Dark grinned. "Including me, five. There are six
Elementals, and we will face you one by one, should one of us fall." Leo stared Dark down. "I'm guessing
based on your name that you use a Dark deck." Dark nodded. "Fairly obvious, but, I'll excuse it." Leo
sighed. "You're making this a Nether Duel, aren't you?" Dark shook his head. "Within my Duel Disk is a
self-destruct device. If I lose, it goes off. If I win, nothing happens, other than your Duel Disk electrocutes
you when I use this cable." A cable connected their Duel Disks. "Now, let's begin!" Dark's Duel Disk
activated. Leo activated his own. "Light em up!"
(Leo: 4000)
(Dark: 4000)
Dark grinned. "I'll start the match. I Draw." Dark grinned when he saw his card. "I Summon Double Coston
to the field!"
(Double Coston appeared: a level 4 monster with 1600 ATK)
"I also play Double Summon, so that I can Normal Summon one more time! Since Double Coston, can be
used as two releases for the Advance Summon of a Dark monster, I release it!" Leo kept his eyes open. "I
Summon Diabolos, King of the Abyss!"
(Diabolos, King of the Abyss appeared: a level 7 monster with 2800 ATK)
Leo wasn't very impressed. "So you Summoned a level 7 monster on your first turn. What's that supposed
to do?" Dark didn't stop grinning. "I'll explain that in a minute. I end my turn." Leo drew his card. "Stop!
Diabolos' effect activates! I can look at the card you just drew!" Surprised, but not concerned, Leo revealed
his Painful Choice. Dark saw it, and made a choice. "Now, his other effect activates. I can now choose to let
you keep the card, or send it to the bottom of the Deck, but you do draw the next card at no cost. I think
you can keep it." Leo thought over his options. 'This monster can affect the cards I draw.' Looking over his
hand, Leo made a decision. "I activate the Painful Choice you let me keep. I choose five cards in my Deck,
and you choose one card to add to my hand, and the rest go to the Graveyard. Your choices are Level
Warrior, Trident Warrior, Shine Knight, The Winged Dragon of Ra, and Lightray Gearfried." At the mention
of the God Card, Dark was shocked. 'I knew he had it, but he's giving me the opportunity to get rid of it
without having it on the field? I thought Crimson increases mental capacity. Whatever.' "I choose Lightray
Gearfried, since I need to get rid of all those monsters. Also, you shouldn't have chosen that God Card."
Leo added Lightray Gearfried to his hand, and discarded the rest. "You'll learn why I picked Ra in a
minute." Choosing his next card, Leo added, "But first, since you control a monster, and I don't, I can
Special Summon my Cyber Dragon."
(Cyber Dragon appeared: a level 5 monster with 2100 ATK)
Dark sighed. "This thing? How's it gonna help?" Leo picked another card. "I Normal Summon my Fleur
Synchron."
(Fleur Synchron appeared: a level 2 monster with 300 ATK)
"I Tune Fleur Synchron with Cyber Dragon, in order to Synchro Summon Power Tool Dragon!"
(Power Tool Dragon appeared: a level 7 Synchro monster with 2300 ATK)
That got Dark's attention. "Wha-? Why did you-?" Leo interrupted him. "Try reading the cards. When
Fleur Synchron is used for a Synchro Summon, I can Special Summon a level two or below monster from
my hand." He held up the monster he chose. "Say hello to D.D. Sprite."
(D. D. Sprite appeared: a level 1 monster with 100 ATK)
"And D. D. Sprite is a Tuner monster." Dark paled. "Oh, no." "I Tune D. D. Sprite with Power Tool Dragon
for a Synchro Summon! Spirit that guards the flow of life, rise up to face the darkness! Appear! Life Stream
Dragon!"
(Life Stream Dragon appeared: a level 8 Synchro monster with 2900 ATK)
"Also, I open the path of the Shining Light!" Dark paled, realizing that Leo wanted him to choose Lightray
Gearfied. "May the light shine forth in the darkness, and illuminate a new destiny! Appear! Lightray
Gearfried!"
(Lightray Gearfried appeared: a level 8 monster with 2800 ATK)
"Now, I play Monster Reborn, to Special Summon back my Cyber Dragon!"
(Same as before)
"Time to end this. Life Stream Dragon, attack Diabolos! Life's Beauty Howl!" The dark dragon was
destroyed, leaving Dark with no monsters.
(Dark: 3900)
"Cyber Dragon, fire! Evolution Burst!"
(Dark: 1800)
"And Lightray Gearfried, finish him off! Shining Assault!" "Ah!"
(Dark: 0)
The cable disconnected from Leo's Duel Disk, and Dark's began to count down. Dark faced him. "It was an
honor to be your opponent." With that, his Duel Disk detonated, and Dark vanished. Leo saw his cloak
where he had been standing, and made a decision. "Matrix?" The computer program replied, "Yes, sir?" Leo
looked at Dark's cloak. "Scan that cloak. See if you can find anything out of the ordinary." "Right away,
sir."
