SoftWare: On we go!
Leo: And the next chapter is told.
SoftWare: Oh, calm down.
Chapter Five
Gaia
(Shade District)
Light sat down and faced his remaining Elementals. Dark had managed to buy some time, but his loss was
a big blow to the Elementals. Earth was looking through his Deck, and Wind was listening to an iPod. Fire
and Water were whispering amongst themselves. Light cleared his throat, and they all faced him. "Dark's
loss was unfortunate, but we can continue to pester Leonard, while I try to find what I'm looking for." He
faced Earth. "Earth, you will go and buy some more time. I care not if you lose, just buy some time." Earth
nodded. "Yes, boss."
(Light District)
Leo walked for a bit. After defeating Dark, he'd tried to track the Elementals' lair, but Light had chosen it
well. The cloak was the only lead Leo had, and it had not been made in Satellite. He did know from a
recording he found in the pocket of it that the Elementals were in Satellite, so he couldn't leave. If he left
Satellite while the Elementals were still around, they could try to attack the people. No, he had to stay and
face them. After that, he would try to find Luna, and reconnect. The sound of a throat being cleared took
Leo out of his thoughts. He saw a person wearing a cloak very similar to Dark's. The person approached
him. "I've been waiting for you." Leo made no reply. "I'm Earth, the second Elemental the boss chose to
take you on." Leo kept his gaze on the Elemental. "Then get ready." He activated his Duel Disk. Earth did
so as well. "Let's Duel!"
(Earth: 4000)
(Leo: 4000)
Earth spoke up. "Since you're the host in this arena, if you'll excuse the metaphor, you can start." Leo
made no reaction. His starting hand wasn't based on going second, anyway. He drew his card. "I'll
Summon my Trident Warrior, then use his ability to Special Summon my Shine Knight."
(Trident Warrior appeared: a level 4 monster with 1800 ATK)
(Shine Knight appeared: a level 3 monster with 1900 DEF)
"Since Shine Knight's in Defense Mode, he becomes level 4. I also set two cards. Go ahead." Earth drew his
card. "I play Boulder's Sanctuary. When I activate it, I can Special Summon two Boulder Tokens to the
field."
(Boulder Token appeared: a level 1 monster with 0 DEF)
(Same as before)
"On the same turn I use it, I can't Summon any more monsters, except for EARTH monsters." Leo sighed.
"Here we go." "I sacrifice my two tokens, for Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders!"
(Redox, Dragon Ruler of Boulders appeared: a level 7 monster with 3000 DEF)
Leo raised an eyebrow. "I've never heard of that card before. What does it do?" Earth sheepishly grinned.
"It has to do with Special Summoning itself from the graveyard, although if it does, I have to return it to
my hand at the end of the turn, and if it gets removed from play, I can add an EARTH Dragon-type
monster from my Deck to my hand." Leo wasn't too nervous about that. So, the only real power that
affects me is its Defense Points." Earth nodded. "Pretty much." Leo nodded, impressed. "A good move. As
long as it's in Defense Mode, I'll have a hard time getting through." Earth nodded. "But I can get through. I
do have cards in my deck for these kinds of situations." Leo drew his card. "I release my two monsters, for
my personal Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
(Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared: a level 8 monster with 3000 ATK)
(A/N- For those of you who would complain about this, I'm the author. It's my story, so just
back off. Okay, had to get that out of my system. Let's go.)
Earth was impressed. "A Blue-Eyes, huh? There were only six of those, and one was torn in half. Where'd
you get one?" Leo faced him. "A friend who was retiring from Dueling had it. He entrusted it to me.
Continuing my turn, I have Blue-Eyes attack it! Burst Stream of Destruction!" Earth was confused. "But
they're even." Leo held up a card. "Not for long. I use the effect of Honest in my hand. By discarding it,
Blue-Eyes gains Attack Points equal to Redox's Attack Points."
(Blue-Eyes' ATK: 4600)
Earth paled. "My Elemental Dragon!" That got Leo's attention. "What?" Earth sighed. "That's the whole
reason we call ourselves the Elementals. We each have a Dragon for an Attribute. In the boss's case, he
has two, but he only refers to one as the Elemental Dragon of Light." Leo wasn't sure how to respond to
that, so he simply said, "Uh huh. Blue-Eyes, keep at it!" Redox was destroyed. Earth grunted. "Man! I
needed him!" Leo made a choice. "I set a card, and end my turn." Earth drew his card. "Oh, yeah! Now
you're in trouble! I send Giant Rat, Karate Man, and Hayabusa Knight from my hand to the graveyard! By
doing that, I can Special Summon Montage Dragon!"
(Montage Dragon appeared: a level 10 monster with ? ATK)
Leo faced it. "Yusei told me about that card." Earth grinned. "It gains 300 Attack Points for the combined
levels of the monsters I sent to my Graveyard! Their combined levels are 10!"
(Montage Dragon's ATK: 3000)
"Guess we have a standoff." Leo sighed. "Not quite, Earth. Reveal Trap Card, Ring of Destruction." That got
Earth's attention. "Not that card!" Leo kept his eye on him. "When I use it, it destroys Montage Dragon,
then deals us both damage equal to its Attack Points." Earth growled. "So what? You get hurt, too." Leo
shook his head. "I also play Rainbow Life. By discarding my Level Warrior, if I would take damage from an
effect, I gain Life Points instead." Earth paled. "Oh." Montage Dragon had a ring of flames surround it,
before it exploded.
(Earth: 1000)
(Leo: 7000)
Earth grimaced. "That was my best card! I end my turn." Leo drew his card, even though he didn't need to.
"Blue-Eyes, finish him off!" Earth screamed as he went flying.
(Earth: 0)
(Leo: WIN)
Earth looked at his Duel Disk. The device was armed. "You!" The device detonated, enveloping Earth in
Negative Energy, before he vanished. Leo picked up Earth's cloak, and walked off, knowing that his next
opponent would be a little more difficult to deal with.
