Leo: Well, this took a while.

SoftWare: You try going to a place with no internet for a few days.

Leo: Good point.

Chapter Eight

Oceans

(Light District)

Leo looked around, keeping his eyes open for the next Elemental. He needed to find out what their purpose was. He

doubted it had anything to do with Satellite, but he needed to be sure. Soon, he spotted someone wearing the garb of

an Elemental, and waited for them to approach. The Duelist walked over, and said, "Oh, man. I was hoping it would be

the Copier." Leo faced him. "What do you want with him?" Water sighed. "He has something we need." He activated his

Duel Disk. Leo activated his in response.

(Leo: 4000)

(Water: 4000)

Water kept his eye on Leo. "You first." Leo drew his card. 'Great. He wants to go second, which is what I prefer.' Looking

over his hand, he made up his mind. "I Set a monster, then three cards. Go ahead." Water drew his card. "I play the

field spell A Legendary Ocean!" An ocean enveloped the field, and Leo looked at Water, waiting for the next move. Water

held up a card. "All WATER monsters lose a level while they're in my hand, or on my field. So, I Summon Giant Red

Seasnake!"

(Giant Red Seasnake appeared: a level 4 monster with 1800 ATK)

(GRS's level: 3)

"Oh, WATER monsters also gain 200 Attack and Defense Points."

(GRS's ATK: 2000)

"I also play Double Summon, so that I can Normal Summon a second time this turn. Since my WATER monsters lose a

level, I release Giant Red Seasnake, and Summon Tidal, Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls!"

(Tidal, Dragon Ruler of Waterfalls appeared: a level 7 monster with 2600 ATK)

(Tidal's level: 6)

(Tidal's ATK: 2800)

"I end my turn with that." Leo drew his card. 'Cyber Dragon. I can't Summon him yet. I don't know what else Water has

planned.' "I pass this turn." Water drew his card. "I Summon Great White."

(Great White appeared: a level 4 monster with 1600 ATK)

(GW's level: 3)

(GW's ATK: 1800)

"I play another Double Summon, and bring out my good friend Gagagigo!"

(Gagagigo appeared: a level 4 monster with 1850 ATK)

(Gagagigo's ATK: 2050)

(Gagagigo's level: 3)

"Now, Great White, attack that Set monster!" The monster was destroyed, and Water grinned. "One-turn-kill, baby!

Gagagigo, let him have it!" Nothing happened. Water was confused. "What? Why isn't he attacking?" Leo spoke up.

"Because he can't. The Battle Phase is over." Water faced him. "What? Why?" "The monster you destroyed was The

Unhappy Maiden. When she's destroyed by battle, your Battle Phase for that turn ends." Water grimaced. "Cheap move.

Go." Leo drew his card. 'Finally.' "Since you control a monster, and I don't, I can Special Summon my Cyber Dragon to

the field."

(Cyber Dragon appeared: a level 5 monster with 2100 ATK)

"Next, I Summon my Fleur Synchron."

(Fleur Synchron appeared: a level 2 monster with 400 ATK)

Water piped up. "Hey, isn't that a Tuner monster?" Leo nodded. "So, you're smarter than you act. I Tune him with Cyber

Dragon, for Power Tool Dragon."

(Power Tool Dragon appeared: a level 7 Synchro monster with 2300 ATK)

"Since I used Fleur Synchron for a Synchro Summon, I can Special Summon a level 2 or lower monster from my hand,

such as D.D. Sprite."

(D.D. Sprite appeared: a level 1 monster with 100 ATK)

"I Tune D.D. Sprite with Power Tool Dragon! Spirit that guards the flow of light, veil yourself in flesh and descend upon

us! I Synchro Summon Life Stream Dragon!

(Life Stream Dragon appeared: a level 8 Synchro monster with 2900 ATK)

Leo reached for an activation button. "I play my Trap, Ring of Destruction. I target your Tidal, destroy it, then deal us

both Damage equal to its Attack Points." The dragon was destroyed, and Water went flying, while Life Stream Dragon,

put its claw between Leo and the flames.

(Water: 1200)

(Leo: 4000)

Water was shocked. "I thought we both took damage!" Leo smirked. "I'm safe because Life Stream Dragon is in play. I

activate my next Face-Down, Monster Reborn. Return, Cyber Dragon."

(Same as before)

"Life Stream Dragon, attack Great White! Life's Beauty Howl!" A beam of energy struck the shark, destroying it.

(Water: 100)

Water grimaced. "Well, even if Cyber Dragon attacks, I still survive." Leo revealed a card. Water paled. "Oh, no." "I

activate the effect of Honest in my hand."

(CD's ATK: 4150)

"Attack!" The metallic dragon fired a burst of flame, which destroyed the monstrosity.

(Water: 0)

Water vanished upon losing the Duel, and Leo picked up his cloak. He walked away, keeping his eyes open.
