Okay, I really wanted to write something on this concept, so now I'm going at it. Hope you enjoy. WARNING: Blood with a bit of gore and Character Death(?). Also, this takes at the end of and after episode 95.
Syrus looked up in triumph, believing he had defeated his older brother Zane, however, he froze then he saw the card De-fusion on the field.
"De-fusion," he said softly. "but that means..."
"It means I win!" Zane shouted. "Just like I said I would! Well, Sy, so long!"
The three Cyberdarks came at Syrus as his Life Points dropped to zero, causing utter terror to flash across the Ra Yellow Duelist's face. Electricity surged through his body for the final time, but, now it seemed...different. He felt his throat close up as his vision turned red, his heart seemed to be going a mile a minute and his guts were on fire. Worst of all, as the electrocution continued, Syrus felt each of his limbs slowly go numb.
Syrus let out one last cough before his legs gave way from under him, unable to hold him up anymore. Syrus tried to move his head up and look at Zane, but he could no longer find the strength to do so. Darkness bleed into his red vision as he was faintly aware of one of his friends calling his name, but there was nothing he could do.
And so, lying on the hard stone and deck scattered everywhere, Syrus was consumed by a cold yet comforting darkness.

Zane stared blankly at Syrus' unmoving body, confused as to why he wasn't getting up and yelling at him. Deactivating his Duel Disk, the black-clad Duelist approached his younger brother, intent on finding what Sy was doing, plus getting his shock collars back as well.
"Syrus," Zane said, gently nudging his brother with his foot. "What are you doing?"
Syrus did not respond.
"Sy," Zane tried again, kneeling down and carefully shaking Syrus. "Come on, wake up."
Still no response, and that's when Zane realized that Syrus' body seemed to be getting colder with each passing second.
"Syrus? Syrus!" Zane yelled, shaking his brother more violently as panic began to seep into his soul. "Syrus, wake up! Cone on, you have to! Syrus just please open your eyes, I can't lose you! You can't die yet, you can't leave me...please wake up."
Tears streamed down his face as Zane brought Sy's still warm corpse into a loving embrace and wailed in utter despair. "SYRUS!"
Sorry for the short first chapter, but I wanted to start this story off with a "punch in the gut" feel. Don't worry, the next chapter will be a lot longer, promise.
Anyway, up next: We'll see how the others will deal with Syrus' death (especially Zane), and we might even see where Syrus' spirit ended up. Until then, bye!
