Evelyn: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Chapter One
The night was dark, but the small teenage boy with the tri-shaped hair was staring up into the night sky,
searching past the dark clouds. His large amethyst eyes only saw black until lightning pierced his gaze. He was
laying down on the roof of his grandfather's game shop, comfortable enough to enjoy the night, that is until a
drop of rain landed directly on his nose.
The game shop was old, there was never any light on at night because candlesticks were in short supply around
here. The paint was beginning to chip and a couple of windows were cracked, but other than that the place was in
great shape.
The small teen sat up, deciding it was finally time to go back inside before it started storming. His grandfather
would pitch a fit if he caught a cold. He climbed down the roof carefully, each step feeling less and less steady until
his foot finally settled onto the window sill, while letting out a sigh of relieve he climbed in and sat down on top of
his desk. He turned around to close the window and as soon as it was sealed, rain started pouring down onto the
glass.
"Phew... made it back just in time" he thought out loud. He climbed off of his desk and sat on his seat properly as
he stared outside. The city he lived in made him feel restricted, there were giant stone walls you could see in
every direction, no matter which direction you looked in. Staring up at the sky made him feel free, like there was a
life waiting for him outside these walls. But he knew that such dreams were hopeless. He was one of the few in
this city that had hope still, but it was fading.
During the war, the enemy didn't just capture a few soldiers, but they captured this entire city. They have been
held captive for 18 years. They were allowed to lead their normal lives, but no one was allowed to leave or enter
the city. Trade wasn't cut off, but no one wanted to trade with the city that was captured in fear that they too
would be forced to stay in the city. There was barely any merchandise left in his grandfather's shop, the games
were popular because people needed some sort of relief being trapped here, but without trade, it was hard to
keep stock. News from the outside was not allowed to to be brought into the city either so no one knows if
anyone in the kingdom are planning a rescue or not.
Yugi decided it was time to sleep so the tri-haired teen slipped underneath his covers, not bothering to change
clothes. What does it matter anyway? he thought. Maybe one day the king that reigns over this country would
finally come and rescue this pitiful town. But then again, this city has been under lock and key for 18 years, since
just a few days after he was born.
...
Outside the city, a troop of officers guarding the city were laughing, drinks in hand at a joke the charming new
officer had told. According to the paperwork he was recently sent from overseas to help out the cause but was
transferred to this job once they decided last minute that this would be better field training than throwing straight
into the lion's den. At least, that's what the paperwork said.
The tri-haired officer opened his crimson eyes after the laughter died. His eyes narrowed towards outside the
canopy he and some of the guards were hiding under. "Officer Yami," a certain blond haired guard said, "Is there
something on your mind?" Yami shook his head and chuckled lightly, "Of course not." His eyes were narrowed to
let him know that the operation was still go. The rain would be a perfect cover for his men.
The night progressed on and the guards under the tent with him, all except Joey and himself anyway, were
passed out by the medicine slipped into their drinks.
"Excellent. Now we can continue this operation to take back my father's town." Yami said. Joey looked at him with
a little bit of confusion in his eyes, "But Yami, this is your town n-" The glare Yami shot him silenced him
immediately. He wasn't ready to accept his fathers death just yet but he couldn't leave his new duties
unattended.
"We will talk about this later, our spy should have taken care of the rest of the remaining officers surrounding the
village."
"Did I hear someone mention me?" The voice made Joey jump but Yami remained composed. "Good of you to join
us Mana."
The petite girl winked at her best friend, "You know I always arrive to the party on time." Joey regained his
composure, "So... did you-" "Yes, the officers are taken care of and only one troop is standing gaurd. Since we've
waited so long for this attack, they don't expect anything."
Yami cleared his throat, "So, what about those 'fireworks' we talked about?" Mana gave a small salute, "Taken
care of as well." "And there are no villagers or buildings in the way?"
"There's one old building that looks abandoned sir, but that's about it." she said. She didn't sound so sure so to
be on the safe side, Yami replied, "Go double check on that before we start destroying the walls. Joey and I can
handle things over here." "Aye aye captain! But first..." Mana pulled out a small tablet from her pocket. "In case
you need to start without me. Just break it and it will send a spell to set off our bombs." She said and then she
was back off into the night.
Yami chuckled, "So let the operation begin."
