My first crossover. . .I hope it goes well. I know there are a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh/Harry Potter crossovers, but I plan to make this one a little bit different. ^.^ This is gonna be one heck of a crossover. . .in my own weird style. R&R!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I play the blue eyes white dragon!"
Harry and Ron sat in Gryffindor common room, each exploring his new deck of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. It was Christmas day; and the two had each received a starter deck and a few boosters under their neatly decked tree. Ron stared at the card Harry had just triumphantly thrown before him.
"How'd you get that one the 4th draw?!" He demanded.
"Luck, I suppose."
The muggle game had been all the rage throughout Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Cards were stuffed in every pocket, falling out of every binder, and being traded from wizard to wizard every way you turned. Teachers were constantly telling the kids to put their cards away and study; but to no avail. The students were fascinated by those small pieces of elaborate paper, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Harry finished off the last of Ron's life points with a grand gesture. "I win!" A grin danced across his pale face.
"Aw, no fair!" Ron complained. "You got the Kaiba Starter Deck!" He glared sullenly down at the cards in his hand. "I only got the Yugi one. . ."
Hermione's voice floated up the stairs. "You two still playing that silly game?" She asked. "You've been at it for hours."
"So what?" Harry called back down. "It's better than pondering over some textbook."
"For heaven's sake, you're 15 years old, Harry!" She said, exasperated. "And besides, I haven't been looking in on my books today. I was checking out Malfoy's newest invention."
"And what would that be?" Ron snorted. "Did he invent a way to transform Goyle into a goat?" He and Harry sniggered.
"I wish. But no; he somehow found a way to make those silly cards come to life."
Both boys came running down the steps, making Hermione almost jump out of her new shoes.
"He did?" Harry asked breathlessly. "Where?!"
Hermione shot them a sidelong glance. "Down the hall to the left. In the old broom closet. But don't you think-"
Apparently the two young wizards didn't think at all, for they were already past the portrait of the fat lady and stampeding down the hall.
"I play High Tide Gyo-jin!"
Fred Weasley set a card down on the table, then looked expectantly up at Malfoy. The blonde haired menace sat smirking on the other side of the table.
"Well, Malfoy?" The red-head said eagerly. "Work the magic!"
"Hold up, Weasley. I'll do it. Expectarmius!"
The monster card sprang to life, creating a grotesque little goblin about 5 inches high. The onlookers gasped in excitement. It was just like the show!
"Go ahead and attack, you loser," Malfoy taunted. "It's nothing against my Gaia."
"What kind of an idiot do you take me for?" Fred flipped a magic card. "Raigeki!"
Malfoy sat up abruptly. "No fair, Weasley!" He spat, quickly looking for a counter in his own magic card arrangement. When he could find none, he sat back and irritably watched his life points drop to 200.
"Ha!" George jeered from behind. "Whooped your butt, Malfoy!"
"I wouldn't count on it," the blond boy hissed. His wand twirled nervously between his thumb and forefinger. Under his breath, he muttered, "esieahraiku!" All five cards in his hand turned to the parts of Exodia. Once again, he plastered on his most challenging smirk, though something told him not all was right.
"I summon. . .EXODIA!"
The room went dead silent. No one moved.
"What did we miss?!" Harry and Ron burst through the door, interrupting the quiet. They immediately shut their mouths when they saw the condition of the table.
Malfoy snickered. "Say goodbye, Weasley! Expectarmius!"
But Exodia didn't appear in 5 inch form. Oh, no. The whole room went black and lifeless; every inhabitant was sucked into what seemed to be the vacuum of space.
"What. . .what happened?" Harry looked around.
"I don't wanna know," Ron said with a shudder.
Malfoy stared around, his scowl not missing a single person. "Who did this?!" He demanded. "And where's my Exodia?!"
Fred rounded on him in disdain. "We're stuck in a void and all you can think about is that stupid Exodia?! Don't we have more important things to worry about?!"
"At the moment, no."
Every head turned at the new voice; but no one could believe what they saw.
There in the darkness stood the Egyptian prince.
"What the - ?!" Malfoy fell back.
"You're Yami!" Ron said in awe. "But. . .you're a cartoon!"
Harry shot him a glance. "Well, apparently he's not now."
"But that's not possible!"
"Ron, we've been through more 'impossible' things than I care to remember," Harry muttered. He turned to Yami. "Where are we? And what did you mean by that?"
Yami looked calmly back at them. "First, you are in the Shadow Realm. When your friend falsely summoned Exodia, you were brought here. The barrier between the realms is weaker at your magical school, allowing the power of the monster to drag you here without a millennium item. And second, that is the least of your problems." He pointed a slender finger to the blackness behind them.
Every wizard whirled. Exodia had towered up behind them, chains rattling ominously from its wrists and ankles.
The prince lowered his hand. Then, speaking in a low voice, he said. "By allowing the falsehood to destroy the barrier, I'm afraid the peace of your realm will not last long. Your world will become a living Shadow Realm."
