Yugioh: Tale of a Fallen Dream

Act I: Too Much Freedom and Fear

Jake's perspective

My name is Jake and the strangest things are happening to me. I am walking around in nothing. I am sixteen years old and an A/B student. I was walking from school until I was jumped and drug by somebody in black. Then I wake up in nothing. But wait, I see something bright red. Walk to the bright red glow and I see its shape is of a 39. I touch the 39 and all of sudden ,I feel my heart electrocuted. I fell unconscious again.

Now I wake up to a strange place. My vision is still blurry but I see the place is dark. In front of me there are cell bars. Am I in a cell? I look around the cell to see where am I at. I didn't recognize the type of building I'm in. I've been to my father's police station and this place is nothing like this. The place reeks of dead animals and there is a big mess of machinery everywhere.

I heard a door open and turn around. At that point, I thought I wasn't in my hometown anymore. I see some hunchback man with small horns growing from his back. The man has purple colored skin and wearing a lab coat and tie. He also wear glasses and horns on his head. The man walks towards my cell.

"So I see you have awaken." said the horned man, "I'm surprise you slept through my experiment."

I was shock at the statement. "You mean you experimenting on me when I was asleep?" I said.

"Correction," explained the horned man, "I experimented on you while you were still unconscious from the drugging I gave back in that accursed human land."

When I heard what he said, I know where I am. When I was young, my Mom told me about the other half of the world separated by the ordinary and the extraordinary. The extraordinary are beings that been descended from dark demons or people with high skills and magic. Other Extraordinary include machines that could think on their own, talking fish, and living flames. These a types of beings are outlawed in the ordinary land because of their power and were driven out decades ago. I believe I'm on the Extraordinary half of the world.

"Why did you brought me here? Where am I? And ,more importantly, who are you?" I said, hoping to get an answer.

The horned man smiled with glee. "I'm glad you ask my boy. You see my name is Kozaky. The most smartest fiend scientist in Dark World!" he boasted, " You are in one of my many labs and I brought you here so I can transplant one of the most wondrous things in Extraordinary history in you!

"You're saying I'm no longer Ordinary?" I said in shock.

"Yes! Check your left shoulder!" the gleeful fiend said as he points at my left side.

I grab my left short collar and pull it down. I became even more shock to see a tattoo with the form of 39. My parents would throw a fit if they see this tattoo but get scared when they found out I'm now extraordinary.

I turn to Kozaky angry. "You sick pervert! What have you done?" I boomed.

Kozaky did nothing but laugh and said "Jake, my boy! I inject you with Utopia's power so you can be a useful pawn in my lord's army!"

This guy knows my name. "How did you know…."

"Your name, Jake?" Kozaky finished, "I've been stalking you for months waiting for the right moment to strike! You fit my criteria for making the perfect slave warrior."

I got mad. "So you think perverting and enslaving a sixteen-year old boy to do your bidding sooth you and your lord? I will never be your little lab rat."

Kozaky laughed again. "Oh you think so, huh? You will make the perfect slave for my lord. You're stubborn and got the inherent skills and powers of Number 39: Utopia! So perfect. Even still, I'll break you and your will." Kozaky turns around and exits the room. "You see my boy," Kozaky said, "you'll start begging." Kozaky then leaves.

I walk around the cell in confusion and under pressure. I never thought of this happening. It had to be dream. But this tattoo I have convince me otherwise. I sat down in my cell in despair knowing that my parents know where I'm at, they'll never accept my new status. I just don't know what to do.

"You're okay, kid?"I heard a voice. I turned to see another cell next to me. I thought to be another person but ain't. It was a giant,green humanoid lizard cover in metallic armor. The lizard spoke, "Kozaky is a pain in the ass but he is actually scared of us as of we of him."

"How do you know?" I ask.

The lizard chuckled, "When he experimented my body, I went berserk and destroy much of his lab. He was so scared that he was petrified. But before I had him in my claws, another fiend with him tranquilize me." The lizard turns at me, "So your name is Jake?" I shook my head. "My name is Giga Gagagigo. But you can call me Gigo for short."

"How long you been here?" I curiously ask.

"Five weeks." Gigo said, "But still going strong."

I couldn't believe it. I couldn't last five weeks in this place. I don't… wait. Correction: Gigo and me don't deserve to be slaves for this mad scientist. I need to think. So I took a nap.

While I was sleeping, I dreamt I was walking down a street back at my neighborhood. I wave to all of my friends and my neighbors but look at me as they seen a monster not a human. They ran away as soon as I came. I walk around a little bit and wondering why they ran from me. I decided to go home and forget about the incident. As I go home I notice that the front porch light is not on. I walk inside my house and call for my parents. They never responded. I walk around into the kitchen and found the most shocking thing. My parents saw me with a hated glance and my Dad holding his police gun at me.

"Dad, whats wrong?" I said, 'It's me your son."

"Stay back!" my Dad said as he cocks the gun.

"Dad. Mom. Its me." I said as I look at my Mom. She is scared of me.

I took one step forward. Then my Dad pull the trigger and my heart was shot by lightening. I fell and crashed down onto the floor.

I woke up from my horrible nightmare. As I got up, I look around and see Gigo is still awake.

"Nightmare?" Gigo said.

I responded to his question because I trust him, "Yes, I got a dream that my parents were afraid of me and shot me because I was an Extraordinary."

Gigo's eyes widen, "You're an Ordinary?" I nod my head to him and he smiles, " I don't see anything wrong with that."

I feel better now since I trust Gigo and he doesn't matter of my previous status. But I still worry about my current situation of getting out of this hellish lab prison.I held up my right hand and thought of something. If Kozaky say I was injected with Extraordinary power then that means I can use this power. So I focus my strength and willpower on my right hand. Then a curved sword appear on my hand. I grab the blade and look at it at awe. Gigo also saw the feat and gets up.

"How did you do that, Jake?" Gigo ask.

"I think I just focus on my power onto the blade." I exclaimed. I thought it didn't work but it did. I slash the bars with just one swipe. I know my swordplay lessons would pay off. I went over Gigo's cell and slash his bars open. Gigo got out and shake my left hand.

"Jake, I thank you for granting my freedom." Gigo said with a grin, "Now lets kill that pervert, Kozaky!" He then went out of the room.

I look at my left hand and focus my willpower on it and another sword appears. So this is my Extraordinary power or what did Kozaky call this power? Number 39: Utopia's power? I think that what he's called it. What is the connection of number 39? What is the connection between my dream, my tattoo, and my power?

As I ponder these question, I heard an explosion. I ran out of the the jail room with both swords at hand. I arrive to an laboratory to see Gigo fighting with Kozaky who is operating a large robot.

"Kozaky, you bastard!" said Gigo, "You will pay for what you did to me and my friend!" If he referring to me?

"Oh I beg to differ, Giga Gagagigo." said Kozaky, "You will pay for the damage to my lab with your life!" Kozaky pull down a lever and the robot's arm heads toward Gigo.

I rush towards the front of Gigo and slice the robot arm from the robot. Kozaky scream in response of my action.

"Jake! You will pay for that. But, sadly for me, I can't kill you!" Kozaky angrily says, "But that does not mean I could kill the mecha lizard!"

"You'll have to go through me to get to Gigo!" I said valiantly. I then focus my willpower on my body. My body glow in yellow and white light and the next thing I know I'm in some kind of armor. I look at the mirror and saw I'm in gold and white armor with white, metal wings. I see the number 39 tattoo on the left shoulder armor plate.

"So you learn your new power and skill that quick?", said Kozaky in amazement, "But it doesn't change a thing!" Kozaky pull another lever and the robot's other arm heads towards me.

I quickly swung both of my swords at the robot's arm and the robot's arm was slice to bits. Gigo and Kozaky were both shock of this.

"Oh slimeballs!" said Kozaky, "I made you too powerful and too free-willing! I did it again! it's the mecha-lizard incident all over!"

"And it's going to cost you!" said Gigo as he grins evilly and his claws retracted. He jumps at the robot and scratches out the robot's controls.

"Gigo, what are you doing" I said shockingly. I never seen this side of Gigo in the cells.

"I'm going to Kozaky what's coming to him!" Gigo roared. He pulls out the robot's wires and makes the robot tumble backwards. Kozaky is screaming out of fear.

"You idiot!" yelled Kozaky, " You'll kill us both if this robot lands on some chemicals!" The robot lands in a vat of chemical and explodes in front of my eyes.

"Gigo!" I screamed. I shield my body from the explosion not knowing that my wings turn into a shield. I was blast out of the lab and landed five miles near the lab explosion. I see the explosion from where I land. As I thought, that must been some unstable chemicals. I ran to ground zero of the explosion and found the robot's outer shelling. I look around to to find Gigo's or Kozaky's body but nothing. I don't know if Gigo survive the explosion or not.

I feel now I'm alone. I got nobody. E ven I got back home, my new power will scare everybody and my parents. My parents. They will fear me and hate me now I am a Extraordinary. If the Extraordinary finds out that I am an Ordinary, they'll shun me. I look around and figure out my new life.

My new life will be just a wanderer. I'll walk forever in this unknown land trying to survive. I will also help people who are being take advantage of and can't defend themselves. I'm a wanderer. I'm a traveller. I'm neither an Ordinary nor Extraordinary.

I'm not Jake. I'm Number 39: Utopia.
