Disclaimer: I do not own King of the Hil or Yu-Gi-Oh. King of the Hill created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels And Yu-Gi-Oh created by Kazuki Takahashi
Hello, now I said the next story would be a crossover with Kingdom Hearts/Arrow, but I promise that will soon be up but until then here's a story I had worked on for years and after a massive amount of editing I have decided to post it. It's a King Of The Hill story that takes placed in an alternate universe which happens to be based on the original Yu-Gi-Oh manga/anime and some other shows, meaning if I continue this story then the events will be based on either the manga, the first series anime (Season 0), or original stories I have written. Enjoy. P.S. If I get enough reviews, followers, or favorites then I'll keep posting chapters. P.S.S. Besides the addition of Yu-Gi-Oh and some of my OCs, I wonder if you can stop some differences during the story and hopefully future chapters.
There are those who say that Darkness is a force that can corrupt the the soul of the most righteous person, the thing that influences the evil that threaten our world. Now what if I told you that throughout the course of history there were those who used the Darkness to punish the wicked, the dishonest, and those to hurt the innocent for nothing but enjoyment. These people were respected figures in their times, ranging from kings and queens, emperors and sultans, and even to the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. These individuals were able to harness the Darkness with seven mystical items, those who hold these items can call upon the Darkness to challenge those of wicked hearts to a trial, a trial that if lost was paid with at a cost.
Our story begins in the small town of Arlen,Texas inside a small ranch house on Rainy Street. Bobby Hill was sleeping peacefully in his bed until his alarm went off. He got out of bed and shut the contraption off as it went rang for the third time. With his shower taken, his clothes put on he headed out into the kitchen where he saw his grandpa sitting at the table eating his breakfast.
"Morning, Grandpa." Bobby greeted as he joined him at the table with his own plate
Cotton smiled at his grandson as the two of them ate their meals. Halfway through the meal Bobby asked if he had heard anything from his parents who had left Cotton to watch him while they attended some event that involved his father's work in propane.
"I know you miss them but they'll be back by the end of the week." Cotton said
"I don't doubt that but the past few weeks at school have been pretty rough." Bobby stated
"Problems with bullies, uh?"
"No, no, high school is just tougher than I thought."
"Well remember what I taught you," Cotton ordered, "when cornered by a bully don't be afraid to fight."
"I'll keep that in mind," Bobby promised, "besides I spend all my free time at school trying to solve that thing you got me for my birthday last year."
"You haven't finished it yet," a surprised Cotton shouted,"your daddy said you were good with things like that."
"Normally I am but there's something different about it."
(11:30 a.m.)
The bell rang signaling the students of Arlen High that it was time to either go eat lunch, study, or go outside. Bobby opted to take this time to stay in the classroom to study.
"Bobby, you up for some basketball?" a fellow student asked, "we need one more for the team."
"Thanks for asking, Clive, but I'm going to take this time to catch up on my homework." Bobby said turning down Clive's invite
"Okay, then if that's what you want."
When Clive left the room Bobby quickly reached into his school bag and took something out. The thing wasn't a schoolbook or anything related to homework, it was a golden box with hieroglyphs and an eye craved into it.
"I wonder if I can finish it today,"' Bobby wondered out loud, "if I can then everyone will finally know what I've been doing this past year."
Bobby placed his hand on the box ready to open it.
"I still wish Grandpa would tell me what he got me because the translation he gave me doesn't make sense," Bobby said continuing talking out loud, "you see it but it has never been seen before."
Confused by the riddle Bobby decided to try to complete it anyways but before he could someone snatched the box from his hands.
"Hey."
Bobby looked up to see the person responsible, it was a boy his age with light brown hair and hazel colored eyes. His name was Jason Lamar, Bobby had known him since 1st grade but they never hung out but that didn't stop him from messing with Bobby, but in Jason's defense he never hurt Bobby physically or emotionally he only did it so Bobby would stand up to him.
"I'm starting to worry about you, Hill," Jason stated as he examined the box, "ever since you got this box you've been acting weird and you talking to yourself out loud proves it."
"Come on, Jason, give it back." Bobby begged
Being a few inches taller than Bobby gave Jason the advantage as he held the box above Bobby who tried his best to reach up and grab it.
"Please, please, please, give it back."
Jason sighed as Bobby's whining started to annoy him.
"Fine, I'll tell you what, Hill, if you punch me in the chest I'll give this box back." Jason offered
"You know I detest violence." Bobby shouted
"If that is how you feel," Jason said before throwing the box, "Redcorn, heads up."
Bobby watched as his box flew into the hands of Joseph Redcorn, Jason Lamar's best friend and son of local New Age Healer, John Redcorn.
"Good throw, dude." Joseph chuckled as he and Jason began a game of keep a way
"Guys come on, the box is really valuable to me." Bobby pleaded as he did his best to catch the box in between throws
"What's so special about it anyways?" Jason asked thus pausing the game
"You can look if you want but don't touch anything inside."
With a quick peek Jason looked in the box but didn't find the content of the box interesting so he resumed their game. Suddenly in the middle of the game an extra hand grabbed the box in midair. The three boys looked to see the owner of the hand was a girl with dark red hair and green eyes. Her name was Jade LaRue, the new girl in school and Bobby's neighbor, unlike Lamar and Redcorn, she actually hung out with Bobby durning parts of the summer after she moved from Louisiana.
"What are you two idiots doing?" Jade demanded
"Relax, LaRue, Redcorn and I were just trying to help Hill man up." Jason explained
"Well you two need to grow up and quit bullying Bobby."
"We weren't..."
"Get out!"
"Whatever, I was getting hungry anyways."
Bobby watched as the two of them left the classroom. Jade handed the box back to Bobby who returned to his desk, she sat sideways in the desk in front of him.
"So what's so special about this box? She asked
"It's a long story." Bobby informed
"I got time."
In the hallway Jason was discussing the events that just transpired in the classroom.
"Who does LaRue think she is," Jason complained, "we were only trying to get Hill to stick up for himself."
"What if she was right about us being bullies?" Joseph question
"I rather kiss a rabid bat than admit I was bullying..."
Jason was cut off when he bumped into someone causing him and Joseph to fall to the floor. Looking up they saw the person they ran into was a large student with a bulky build, the person looked down at them with an apologetic look on their face.
"I'm so sorry." he said as he helped them up
"Don't worry about it," Jason said as he brushed himself off, "we were the ones that ran into you."
"Totally our fault, dude." Joseph added before taking a good look at the student
Joseph froze in fear as he recognized the person standing before them.
"I couldn't over help but overhear you two talking about bullying," the student said, "are you bullying someone?"
"Complete misunderstanding," Jason explained, "you see we were talking about..."
"Bowling!" Joseph shouted
Jason stared at Joseph as he went on a ranting while explaining they had plans to go bowling after school.
"You see Jason said bowling not bullying."
"I guess that makes sense, but I just want to remind you that bullying is wrong, no matter the reason."
The duo watched as the guy walked away and as soon as he was out of their sight, Joseph received a smack from Jason.
"Bowling are you serious, you know that we both suck at it."
"He didn't know and trust me when I say you don't want him to know about us bullying Bobby."
"Why is that, Redcorn?" Jason asked
"That guy was Lenny Dukes, the strongest senior in school." Joseph informed
"Seems like a nice guy, I can't image him hurting anybody."
"As long as he doesn't find out how we treat Bobby then we should be safe."
Back in the classroom Bobby had finished telling Jade the story of how he came into possession of the golden box. However Jade was having trouble getting some of the facts straight.
"So your grandpa won it in a card came from a war buddy, who got it from his nephew, who discovered it in a tomb in Egypt, and kept it despite almost everyone else on the expedition died." Jade said as retold the story
"Correct, then my grandpa gave it to me." Bobby said
"If you told Jason all that then maybe him and his stupid friend wouldn't had thrown it around."
"They were just having fun," Bobby stated, "they're not bad guys once you get to know them."
"I guess, but Jason did have a point when he said you need to stand up and defend yourself."
"Then what would be the point of hanging out with you then." Bobby joked
"You're quite the charmer, Bobby Hill." Jade remarked with a chuckle
Things soon settled down when Jade asked to see the contents of the box. Bobby smiled as he lifted the box and revealed to Jade several small gold pieces sitting inside the box. With Bobby's permission Jade reached in and grabbed one of the pieces to examin.
"Pretty."
"It's some type of puzzle, but I haven't finished it so I don't know what it looks like when completed."
"Sounds like a headache waiting to happen," Jade stated, "at least the box has a cool design."
"Not only that but according to my grandpa the hieroglyphs write out a message on the box."
"What does it say?"
"I have trouble enough in English, hieroglyphs are a completely different language."
Jade sat there disappointed as she wouldn't get to hear what the message was but then something came to her and a smile appeared on her face as she grabbed Bobby's hand.
"I actually know someone who can help us out." She informed as she dragged Bobby away unaware of the redness on his cheeks
Minutes later they arrived at the cafeteria where Jade immediately found the person she was looking for, sitting by themself at a table eating lunch was a girl with long black hair kept in a ponytail. Jade let go of Bobby's hand and walked over and sat across from the girl. The two talked for a bit then Jade motioned for Bobby to come over to join them.
"Bobby Hill, meet Sarah Argentina, my best friend and the biggest expert in all things Ancient Egyptian." Jade shared as she introduced him to Sarah
"Well I'm no Daniel Jackson." Sarah modestly stated
"Isn't that the guy from the Archeology Channel who claimed that the Pyramids were landing pads for alien ships." Bobby wondered
"He never said that," Sarah shouted enough that the two adjacent tables turned to stare at her, "what?"
Jade waved in embarrassment as they turned back to their lunch.
"Sarah, relax, now the reason I brought Bobby to you is I'm hoping you could translate some hieroglyphs for him."
"Only under the condition that he never makes a remark like that regarding Dr. Jackson."
"I will never make that mistake again." Bobby promised out of fear
He handed Sarah the box so she could study the carvings. Bobby sat there patiently as Sarah wrote down all the hieroglyphs onto a piece of paper so she could read them better. After a few more minutes the carvings were copied down and the box returned to Bobby.
"Bad news is that some of these hieroglyphs are obscure," Sarah reported, "however Jade and I know someone who hopefully could translate it."
"Really? Bobby asked
"Yeah, Jade and I were going to visit her store after school anyways."
"What kind of store does she own, an antique store."
"Actually a game shop." Jade corrected
"You mean like board games?"
"Along with video games, puzzles, various games from around the world, and most importantly Duel Monsters."
"You two are into Duel Monsters?" a surprised Bobby asked
"I've been playing ever since the game came out eight years ago." Sarah revealed
"While I got into the game a year before I move here," Jade added, "you ever played the game, Bobby?"
"As any other kid I did have a deck but I stopped playing after a year because I kept losing every duel and my parents thought I was silly to spend money on a card game."
"Well meet us after school and well not only hopefully get those craving translated but maybe reignite your love for Duel Monsters." Jade suggested
(Outside)
Jason was now by himself standing over a large hole that was dug to install a new drainage pipe but the project got scrapped, so now it was just another large hole in the ground. He stared at something in his hands which turned out to be a piece of Bobby's puzzle despite being told not to touch anything. This piece was jagged around the sides with a carving of an eye in the middle.
"Hill needs to grow up," Jason thought to himself, "no one in this hellhole school is going to take him seriously if he keeps acting like a child."
He closed his hand concealing the puzzle piece with a fist. Then after extending his arm he dropped the piece into the hole, he then kicked some lose dirt in to cover it up.
"If he can't complete it then maybe he'll come to his senses."
(Few hours later)
The bell singling the end of the school day rang and Bobby rushed as fast as he could to his locker to get his stuff to meet up with Jade and Sarah. Swing his bag over his shoulders Bobby walked down the hall towards the doors but unbeknownst to him someone was waiting.
"Bobby Hill." A voice called out
Bobby stopped and turned to see an older student with brown hair wearing a blue jacket over a grey shirt along with a pair of worn out jeans.
"Yes?" A nervous Bobby replied
"I need to talk to you for a minute
Bobby gulped as walked up to the older boy.
"Allow me to introduce myself, the name is George Rowe."
"How can I help you?"
George smirked as he saw sweat forming in Bobby's forehead.
"A friend of mine has informed me that two boys in your class have been causing you trouble."
"I don't think so," Bobby denied, "if they had I believe I would be the first to notice."
George however wasn't pleased with this answer.
"Look, Bobby, a nice guy like you doesn't need to defend pieces of trash such as those boys," George stated, "so I'll make you a deal, I have my guy look further into this while I volunteer myself as your bodyguard."
"I appreciate the offer. But no one is picking on me," Bobby said as he started to back up, "if you excuse I have to go."
Without a second thought Bobby bolted to the door where Jade and Sarah were waiting. Back inside George stood there smiling as someone walked up to him.
"Did he accept your offer, George?"
"Sadly, Lenny, he didn't but don't worry for after tomorrow he'll change his mind."
