"Yeah!" I cheered. "You go Yugi!"
"Jenna!" My mother yelled from the other room. "Stop shouting!"
"But Mum! Yugi and Yami just wupped Kaiba's butt big style!" I complained, pausing the Youtube video. I heard my mother sigh.
"I don't have a clue what your talking about dear..." And she ordered me off the computer for the night.
I know, it's sad. But I have to admit it. I'm a YU-GI-OH! Super-fan. I drive my parents crazy. My room is filled with the memorabilia, manga, and trading cards.
I ran up to my room and jumped onto my bed, sending Duel Cards flying everywhere. I gathered them up, and rifled through them until I found my favourite. Dark Magician Girl. Dark Magician Girl was my best card. I had one so many duels at school with it, earning me more, rarer cards, like the Red Eyes Black Dragon. It was my dream to own a Blue Eyes, but that dream seemed distant. I only got my cards by beating people at school, and no-one at school owned a Blue Eyes. But I was content with my deck. I had just the right balance of Monster, Magic, Spell and Trap cards. I knew I could always rely on it. Well... Maybe not always. It didn't help me much when... it happened.
It was around two in the morning. I couldn't help myself. Yugi... Wait, let me explain. If you've never watched YU-GI-OH! Here's a breakdown.
Yugi Muto is a shorter than normal high school student. His grandfather gave him a puzzle following his trip to Egypt. It took Yugi 8 years to complete. When he did complete it, the Millennium Puzzle (which is it's name) released a spirit, which had been trapped within it for 5,000 years. Yugi's body became host to this spirit, otherwise known as Yami,The King of Games, an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, which takes over Yugi's body in times of stress. This "stress" usually happens during a card game known as Duel Monsters, where monsters depicted on cards come to life with the help of super advanced holograms.
Now, I was up to the point in the show where Yugi, with the help of Yami, had just defeated their arch rival, Seto Kaiba, in his own Duel Monsters tournament. Now, they were about to fight a man named Marik, who had been taken over by an evil spirit trapped inside of his own Millennium Item, called the Millennium Rod. Get it?
This was the most exciting duel the two had ever had to face, and I really really needed to see it. So, quietly as I could, I snuck downstairs, and turned on the computer. Of course, I knew what was going to happen. It was obvious. And I had read about it online. I'd read about all of it online. I knew exactly what was going to happen in the end of the whole series. But reading wasn't the same as seeing it happen.
Yami stepped out of the door. Yugi appeared next to him in his spirit form.
"It's so unfair! Why does this have to happen? To Joey of all people! He was so close..." He wailed, falling to his knees beside the Pharaoh.
"I know Yugi. But we have to keep fighting. For Joey's sake."
There was silence for a moment, before the Pharaoh punched the wall.
"Why is this so confusing!"
The setting switched to the top of the Kaiba Corp. Duel Tower.
"Yugi Muto has one minute to arrive." The referee declared.
Marik nodded confidently.
"Come on Yugi! Where are you?" I muttered.
"Will Yugi Muto please proceed to the duelling arena!"
"Yugi! Come on!" I said worriedly.
The time ticked slowly on.
"If that fool doesn't want to show up, that's fine by me." Marik snorted.
BAM! Time was up.
"Since Yugi Muto didn't arrive on the time, he is disqualified! The winner is Marik Ishtar!"
"WHAT?" I thought. "That was NOT meant to happen!"
A comment sprang up below the video.
"That was a lame ending to the show."
"That sucks!" Said another.
"What happened to Yugi?"
"I bet the Pharaoh went emo and ended it."
"Fail of an ending." Said yet another. I read them with confusion. That was not the end! It couldn't be!
I quickly went onto Wikipedia, and typed in the show name. The long article I was familiar with popped up. I scrolled down to the end. It read:
"Yugi is last seen in the hallway of the Kaiba Corp. blimp, conversing with the Pharaoh prior to their duel with Marik. When they do not show up to duel, Marik is announced to winner. Many fans find this a weak, boring, and frankly confusing ending. No mention is ever made of Joey, Tristan, Tea or the others again, while the series ends with Marik ruling the world. Many discussions have been made, wondering what led to Yugi's shock disappearance, most believing he couldn't take the pressure, and committed suicide... "
Suicide? No... It couldn't be... that wasn't the end. The Pharaoh still had his whole past to uncover! No! NO!
"We have to stay strong. The only way Joey will recover is if we win this duel." came a deep voice from behind me.
"Yeah. But... it's hard to see him like that." said a younger voice.
"I understand. But I just need to know that you're going to do this with me Yugi."
"Of course I am Yami. We'll fight till the very end!"
I slowly swivelled my chair round. Two figures stood before me, one taller than the others. They wore identical dark blue outfits, with high collars and dark shirts. They both had almost the same hair too. It was spiky and black, edged with dark magenta, and framed with a spiky blond fringe. The only deference was that the taller one had extra blond streaks through 3 of the black spikes. The only other weird thing about them, (apart from them just appearing suddenly in the back room) was that they were almost completely see-through. I could see the book case right behind them. Like ghosts.
"What the heck!" I breathed. The two figures stopped talking, and slowly turned their heads towards me. They both had dark purple eyes, the smaller one's eyes being much larger than the taller's. And right now, they were both widened in fear and surprise.
"AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!"
