Chapter 1: Hope lost.

I do not own Yugioh or any of its characters nor their cards. Please Read and Review.

It's a dark cold Friday night; Yugi has just got home from hanging out with his friends after school. As soon as Yugi gets in the phone rings and Yugi is the only one home. Tiredly, Yugi walks up to the phone, picks it up, sighs, and says. "Motou card shop how may I help you?" A laugh is heard on the other end. "Hello?" Yugi asks again in concern. "Well hello there Yugi boy. Pleasure to finally talk to you, I wish that we could have met under better terms but you have something I want and I intend to get it." Yugi paused then finally answered. "The God cards?" Yugi asked persistently. "My now, that could be it, but unfortunately not all. I want your puzzle and your soul, so here is what we are going to do. A car should be arriving at your shop right now." A car horns is heard outside. "You will get in the car and will be driven to the Rave Corp. building. There we will duel for what I want." Yugi follows snootily. "And if I don't accept?" A laugh is heard at the other end of the line. "Well then your precious friends and family will have to take your place." Yugi stands up immediately and stomps his feet. "Who do you have!" The stanger laughs a bit as voices of Joey, Tristan, Tea, Seto, Mokuba, and Yugi's grampa is heard screaming in pain. "Better hurry Yugi boy. Your friends might not last another twenty minutes. Tata." A evil laugh is heard at the other end of the line as the phone line clicks.

Yugi hangs up his phone and marches upstairs. Yami appears beside Yugi. "Yugi, it might be a trap." Yugi grabs his duel disk and looks at his deck. "I know, but my friends are in danger. I have to go." Yami nods and puts his hand on Yugi's shoulder. "I will go with you." Yugi looks up at Yami and nods. "Thank you Yami. Lets go." Yugi and Yami merge together. "Lets do this." Yugi walks down stairs and out the door with his duel disk and deck in his hands. Yugi enters the car and sits down as the car drives off in the direction of the Rave Corp. building.

Yugi walks out onto the roof door and looks at a man turned away from him in a black hooded trench coat with the hood up. "Who are you and where are my friends?" Yugi demanded to know. The man turns around with a chaos duel disk around his arm and points left with his left arm, pointing to Yugi's chained up unconscious friend. "I'm here so lets get this over with." Yugi says looking at his friends then back at the man. "First tell me who are you?" The man unhoods himself and shows his face with the millennium insignia on his forehead. "My name is Kain, and by the look on your puny face your wondering what millennium item I contain. Well, I contain a special one called the millennium heart which is given to the chosen one at birth. But enough about that, lets get this started." Kain's duel disk activates and he draws his cards. Yugi puts on his duel disk and inserts his deck into the reader. "At the end of this duel you let my friends go!" Yugi demands drawing his five cards. "I give you my word. But We're going to play 8,000 life points instead of regular 4,000." Kain says drawing his first card. "My building so I'll go first."

Kain looks at his hand and picks up two cards. "I'll play a card face-down and Kaiser Sea Horse in attack mode. (1700/1650) Kain looks at Yugi and smiles. "That will end it for me." Kain says crossing his arms.

Yugi draws a card and looks at his hand. "I'll play three cards face-down." Yugi places the cards on the field. "Then I'll play card of sanctity, which allows us to both draw until we have six cards in our hands." Kain draws two cards as Yugi draws four cards. "I'll play Jack's Knight in attack mode." (1900/1000) Jack's knight appears on the field. "Jack's Knight attack his Kaiser Sea Horse now!" Jack's knight moves in for an attack. "Not so fast. Waboku stops your monster dead in its tracks." Waboku appears on the field and blocks Jack's knight. Yugi sighs as his arms drop to his sides. "I end my turn."

Kain draws a card and smiles. "I'll play another Kaiser Sea Horse in attack mode." Kaiser sea horse appears next to the other one. "I'll play graceful charity to draw three cards but discard two." Kain draws three cards from his deck and discards two. "Next I'll play four cards face-down and end my turn." Kain smirks and again crosses his arms waiting for yugi.

Yugi draws a card. "I'll play one card face down and sacrifice my jack's knight for my Dark Magician Girl." (2000/1700) Jack's knight disappears and Dark Magican Girl reappears. "Dark Magician girl attack!" Kain smirks at yugi's attack. "Blocked yet again yugi boy. Negate Attack." The negate attack trap card springs and ends Yugis attack. "Oh well, maybe next time."

Kain draws a card. Kaiba and Joey start waking up and sees Yugi dueling Kain. "Whats going on?" Kaiba asks looking at Yugi. "Yugi, what are you doing?" Yugi looks over and sees Kaiba and Joey. "Dueling for your freedom." Joey looks at Kain. "You punk, let us go now!" Kain laughs at Joey. "Please gentlemen we are in the middle of a duel. Please leave the remarks for after I take your friend's soul." Kain looks at his new card and smiles. "Kain, why are you doing this, you were never into this game." Kaiba says looking at Kain. "Well Kaiba boy, I got good at it quick, and I want to be the best, what you were and what Yugi is. So in order to do it I need the soul of the one that once defeated my best friend." Kain turns his attention back on Yugi. "Well this will be a surprise for both you and Kaiba Yugi. My next card requires a sacrifice, so I'll sacrifice my one Kaiser Sea Horse to summon Blue eyes white dragon!" Kaiser sea horse disappears and a Blue eyes white dragon takes its place. (3000/2500) Kaiba has enough slack to look through his deck, but sees that his blue eyes where not touched. "How did you get a blue eyes Kain? Only I have the only three in the world in my deck." Kain smirks and looks at Kaiba. "In America, the blue eyes white dragon is a card that has been made again. Industrial Illusions didn't like this and ordered them to stop or a suit was to be placed on them. It happened anyway and the company gave me the cards to hold onto, the only three they have ever made. Now there are six, and they are in both yours and my decks Kaiba, your not so special anymore." Kain again looks at Yugi. "Sorry for waiting, Blue eyes white dragon attack his dark magician girl." Blue eyes attacks and Yugi also smirks. "Mirror Force." Kain also smirks. "Seven tools of the bandit." Blue eye's attack hits and destroys dark magician girl. (Lifepoints Kain- 7000 Yugi- 7000) Kain smiles and laughs. "Kaiser sea horse attack him directly!" Kaiser sea horse runs and slashes yugi. (Kain- 7000 Yugi- 5300) Kain laughs and crosses his arms. "Your move."

Yugi draws a card and sighs. "I'll place a monster face-down in defense mode and that will end my turn."

Kain draws a card. "I'll activate my call of the haunted to bring back my summoned skull I discarded a couple of turns ago." Summon skull appears on the field. "Next I'll power up my summoned skull with my Malevolent Nuzzler magic card." Kain points to yugi's face down card. "Blue eyes, attack, white lightning!" Blue eyes destroys yugi's giant soldier of stone. "Summoned Skull and Kaiser Sea Horse attack his life points directly!" (Kain- 7000 Yugi- 400) "Your turn yugi boy. Make it count."

Yugi draws a card and looks at his hand. This will be a long shot, but I have to take it. Yugi says to himself looking at his hand. "First I'll play Altar of Resurrection, removing the top two cards from my deck from play to bring summon giant soldier of stone in defense mode. Then I'll play necromancy, which allows me to use your monsters from your graveyards as my own, and I count two monsters. Then I'll place a monster face-down in defense mode. That will end my turn." Yugi says smiling at Kain who is also smiling without concern.

Kain draws a card. "I'll play pot of greed to open my dueling option." Kain draws two more cards. "I'll play tribute to the doomed to destroyed on monster on the field after I discard a card from my hand." Kain discards a card from his hand and smirks. "Goodbye Kaiser sea horse!" Kaiser sea horse disappears. "Why would you do that to your own monster?" Yugi asks concerned. "Need to make room for my new arrival. The fiend megacyber!" Fiend megacyber appears on the field. (2200/1200). Kain points to Yugi's three face down monsters. "Good night, attack my monsters." All three attack and destroy Jinzo, Kaiser Sea Horse, and Kuriboh. The attack of Summoned skull decreases by 600 points making his new attack 2600. "By destroying your own monsters you've weakened your monsters on the field." Kain shrugs. "Oh well, sacrifices need to be made for greatness. Your turn."

Yugi draws a card and smiles. "This is all over Kain. First I'll play my monster reborn and reborn my dark magician girl. Then I'll summon Timaeus!" Timeaus and dark magician girl appear on the field. "Now fuse together to form the dark magician girl the dragon knight!" (2600/1700) They do so and look at Kain. "Dark magician the dragon knight attack the blue eyes white dragon!" The dragon does so and destroys the blue eyes white dragon. "Now try and beat that. I end my turn."

Kain draws a card and places in face down on the field. "That will end my turn."

Yugi smirks and draws his next card. "Now I'll play shallow grave and bring back a monster from my graveyard. A monster appears in face-down defense mode, same for Kain. "Now I'll sacrifice my giant soldier of stone and my newly reborn kuriboh to summon dark magician!" Dark magician appears on the field and smirks at Kain. "Dark magician attack his fiend megacyber!" Dark magician does his dark magic attack, but both Dark magician and dark magician the dragon knight are destroyed. Kain points down at his mirror force trap card and whistles softly. Yugi gets infuriated as he sees both his monsters go to the graveyard. "I end my turn."

Kain smirks and draws a card. "I've been wondering when I would get this card. Oh well, I'll use it anyway." Kain turns the card to show Yugi the Seal of Orichalcos. Yugi gets a shocked look on his face as Kain plays the card and the seal appears around them and on the head of Kain. Kain opens his red eyes as the dark aura appears around him. "Your time to go down Yugi boy!" Kain says holding his thumb down. "We already beat that thing, how is it that its still around!" Joey yells at Kain. Kain looks at Joey and smirks. "The stone of the Orichalcos is embeded within my millennium heart. I gain the power of the Seal now. Not the god." Kain looks back at Yugi. "Time to go Pharoh." Kain says as he points his fingers at Yugi. "Attack my monsters." Summoned skull and Fiend megacyber are powered up by the orichalcos and attack yugi ending the duel. (Kain- 7000 Yugi- 0)

The seal starts to take Yugi's and Yami's souls away. Kain walks over to Yugi and stands him up. "You've lost, king of games." The seal leaves with Yugi's soul. Yugi starts to fall on his back, but before he falls far, Kain quickly snatches the millennium puzzle and Yugi's deck. Kain goes through it and gets the god cards. "The legendary dragon is missing. But oh well." Yugi hits the ground hard and kain throws Yugi's cards all over him. "As a parting gift, I'll let your friends go." Kain waves his hand and the chains are unshackled. Joey immediately runs to his fallen friend and picks him up. "You'll pay kain." Kain looks down at Joey and smirks. "Maybe later, but not now." Kain again waves his hand and they all disappear back to the card shop. Kain smirks and walks back down into the Rave Corp. building.
