Thug: Whoa boss!
Thug 2: Say, this Yukirai dude is awesome.
Akagi: Quiet you weaklings, otherwise I'm ditching you!
Yukirai: Don't you have any respect for your followers?
Akagi: Why?! They're just little peons anyway! Draw. I set a monster.
Yukirai: Treating your friends like this...I won't forgive you!
Aether: I don't think you say that...He doesn't seem to have a concept of friendship.

Reason for seeking the cards: It is her mission to help Xeo find the cards.
Appearance: She has long red hair put up in a pony tail with long bangs covering one eye. She wears a red jacket, white top, and a medium length black skirt. She also carries around a pendent and bracelet that she never lets out of her sight.
----------------------------------------
Axel: Whoa man, intense duel. He got rid of such a strong monster without Synchro or Exceed summoning.
Yukirai: Here goes, draw. I summon Boomerang Warrior [1500/750 LV 4]. Battle. I attack with Boomerang Warrior. Spinning Destruction.
It tosses and destroys the monster.
Akagi: Ha! When Death Meditator is destroyed, the monster that did it is destroyed as well.
Yukirai: When Boomerang Warrior attacks, he returns to my hand at the End Phase.
Akagi: You blocked me again?!
Yukirai: Javelin attacks you directly.
It rams into him as he flies back [Akagi LP = 1100].
Yukirai: I set a card and end my turn.
Akagi: ...Okay that's it. You want to rumble? I'll beat you in one turn!
Axel: Looks like this match is over. That other guy can't seem to lay a finger on him. Such a strong duelist...
Meanwhile Xeo flies over the city and glimpses at the duel.
Xeo: Ha! Watching those pathetic worms squabble is most entertaining. They'll never succeed in finding the cards like that. Wouldn't you agree, Akiko?
Akiko: ...I suppose.
Xeo: You take the fun out of mocking them. Anyways, this lead better take us to another one of the cards. Otherwise, you're dead.
He stares at a man sitting quietly in the helicopter, quivering.
Gen: that idiotis too fired up he can't win now, I guess it's over
Akagi: I draw! This is going to be fun. I'll show you something really interesting kid. I Special Summon Hammer Rush Bouncer [2300/2000 LV 6]. Then I summon Dark Tinker [1000/1000 LV 2]. I tune both.
Tinker becomes 2 rings that Bouncer flies through, becoming 6 stars [2 + 6 = 8]
Akagi: Synchro Summon! Red Dragon Archfiend [3000/2500 LV 8]
Yukirai: Whoa....where did he get such a rare card?
Axel: Wow...one of those legendary dragon cards. Last time I saw one of those...uh...why I can't I remember. I know I've seen one before.
In the helicopter, Akiko sees Red Dragon Archfiend from the window and pulls out her own Black Rose Dragon card. Xeo puts a finger underneath her chin and makes her look at him.
Xeo: Is that a card you desire?
Akiko: No. Just looking at it brings back some memories of the past. But I just can't remember it fully.
Xeo: Don't worry, they'll come back soon enough. Just take your time. And enjoy the luxuries of the world.
Akiko: I guess so...but can we circle here until that duel ends. I want to see what happens to that dragon.
Xeo: Of course.
He snaps his fingers and the pilot nods and starts to circle the bridge.
Gen: I bet this fool doesn't even know how to use such a card, it'll be interesting to see the classics
Thug: The boss's ace card!
Akagi: Take him out Red Dragon Archfiend! Absolute Power Force!
It hits the monster and destroys it [Yukirai LP = 3100].
Akagi: Ha ha! You might as well run off with your tail between your legs!
Yukirai: Are you quite done? Here I go, draw. I use the Spell card To the Battlefield. From my deck, I can summon a Warrior monster, but it cannot attack. Come on out, Double Armed Warrior [1400/700 LV 4]. I release this card as two sacrifices and summon Armory Angel [3000/2100 LV 8]
Akagi: Ha! Still isn't good enough! My monster can beat it easily!
Yukirai: You use that card for power. But you don't see there are other uses for it. That is your undoing. I equip Angel with Snipe Rifle. Now once per turn, one monster loses 500 points and my monster gains 300 points.
Akagi: Damn! Oh well, I'll still have life.
Yukirai: Wrong again. My monster gains double the power of all Equip cards.
Akagi: What?! [2500/2500 LV 8] [3600/2100 LV 8]
Yukirai: End this, Blade Wing!
It flies and chops the monster as Akagi flies back [Akagi LP = 0]
Akagi tries to stand as he is punched in the face.
Thug: How dare you lose boss?!
Thug 2: Aren't you supposed to be the best?
Yukirai punches them off.
Yukirai: Run away. Now.
Akagi: You...helped me? Why?
Yukirai: That's just a duelist's way.
Aether: An intense duel, you two. *Walks up to them*
Yukirai: That was a nice warm- up. Thanks Akagi.
Akagi: Don't you dare look down on me! You think you're so great since you won?! Well you aren't! I'm still the best! I...I...
Yukirai: I'm not trying to look down on you Akagi. If anything, aren't you looking down on yourself by surrounding yourseld with others? Have confidence in your own power and nothing will stop you. Come on, let's go.
He heads across the bridge as Akagi watches him, then looks down.
Akagi: Hold on, I'm coming too. I want a rematch so I might as well see your deck.
Axel: He couldn't even lay a scratch on him. Impressive.
Akiko: Alright, we can go now.
Xeo motions the pilot again and the helicopter trails off in the distance
Aether: You want to travel with us? Sure, why not.
Yukirai: Let's get a move on then.
He walks off as Akagi follows.
Akagi: Fine, but no campfire songs.
Elsewhere.
Thug: What a waste. What now?
Someone walks over.
Thug 2: What do you want?
???: Hunger...you must feed the hunger. The hunger must be SATISFIED!
Aether: So, why you do you want to find the cards?
Akagi: Ain't it obvious? I want to be the greatest duelist ever!
Yukirai chuckles.
Akagi: What's so darn funny?!
Yukirai: That seems like an awfully selfish reason, that's all.
Akagi: Oh yeah?! And why are you seeking the cards?!
Yukirai: ...To find my dad.
Akagi: To find...your dad?
Axel moves back through the crowd and starts to follow Yukirai, Aether, adn Akagi.
Axel: If they're that strong, maybe they'll have some info on the cards. But should I go up and ask them now? Or later...? And if someone sees me, they'll find this pretty creepy. All the more so since I'm talking to myself. What should I do?
Meanwhile the helicopter lands in a clearing in a forest
Xeo: Let's go. You.
He points to the other man.
Xeo: Lead us to where the card lays. And remember what happens if you're lying.
The man gulps and starts to walk.
Xeo: Hm, Akiko and you. You will come with me. The others, stay here. If you see someone else approach, kill them without hesitation.
Xeo and his bodyguards start to follow the man.
Xeo: Soon, I'll have two of the legendary 10 cards. But there must be a better way to find them then this. How do I know if someone else has one already?
Akiko: Dunno sir.
Xeo: It was a hypothetical question, Akiko.
