Chapter 1: Game Time is Over
YUGI'S P.O.V.
"Yugi, why the hell did you drag me here?" Kaiba asked as we entered the museum.
I sighed and said, "There's a new exhibit, that inspired some of the Duel Monster cards. I thought you like it and like I said, I'll duel you afterward. Remember?"
Kaiba groaned and said, "Fine I'll go along..."
Same old Kaiba, do anything for a chance to try and beat us.
Yami appeared next to me and said, "Indeed. Now I understand this exhibit isn't Egyptian..."
I replied in my mind, "Yeah, this is an old lore from the early 1800's, about giants that roamed the earth."
Yami nodded and said, "This should be interesting."
Joey looked at me and said, "So have you seen the cards they based them off?"
I nodded and said, "Yeah, there's the Double Egded Swordman, The Anotomy Golem, The Crystalized Woman, and The Burning Giant. There's some really detailed crarvings and some old equipment that was supposedly used on these giants."
We all walked into the room and there was tablets hanging from the wall and four bannors hanging in the back.
Each one had their own symbol and colors; a green and white unicorn, a blue and white set of wings, a red and black thing of roses, and a silver and white set of swords.
In the back of the room was some old uniforms along with some strange equipment, with wires and swords that fit into these strange boxes.
Kaiba looked at it and said, "This ODM gear... I based a lot of my duel disk tech from this stuff. Why the heck is it here?!"
Tristen looked at it and asked, "What does it do?"
Kaiba replied, "It's called Omni-Directional Mobility Gear and you put it on your hips and it allows you to launch wires, allowing you to jump roof to roof if you will. It basically it a form of high speed chasing in mid air. Have no idea why they would have this in exhibit from the 1800..."
Tea looked at him and asked, "What in the world did you use from this stuff in duel disk?"
He glared at her and said, "The launcher for the hologram systems are launched the same way these are."
I looked at the carvings as they examined the old machinery that had caught the attention of my friends.
They showed the giants that towered over the men and how they left destruction behind them.
One showed the men flying up using the wires to climb up to their height and with swords drawn.
Then there was one final one, a carving of three people inside the giants.
It looked like they were in contol of them...
What could it mean...
Joey walked over and said, "Whoa... Those guys must have been huge..."
I nodded and said, "Yeah, but it shows them fighting men and men fighting back, I wonder why?"
Tea then said, "Hey guys there's one more artifact here."
We all walked toward Tea and saw the artifact. It was a silver key, inlaced with bits of black and white stones.
Kaiba looked at it and said, "It looks too new to be an artifact..."
I nodded and said, "The metal's all wrong and those gems... It looks like ebony and ivory... How the heck did they get those together?! They come from different sides of the planet."
Joey groaned and said, "Someone pulling a joke..."
I nodded and said, "I'll take it to the curatior. He'll probaly want to know about this."
I placed my hand on the key and the room began to golden light.
My mind fell to shambles at I blacked out...
KAIBA'S P.O.V.
Dammit. What the hell just happened?
I opened my eyes and saw that we were in an old building, Yugi, Tea, Tristen, and the Mutt laid unconcious on the floor.
I groaned and said, "Nap time is over... Wake up you idiots!"
Yugi sat up first and said, "Kaiba? What's going on? Where's the puzzle?"
I glared at him and said, "Shut it Yugi and wake up the rest of the geek squad."
He replied, "But that's just it... I'm Yami... Yugi isn't here and the puzzle is missing... This is bad... This is very bad..."
Tea sat up and said, "Where are we?"
I replied, "I don't know, but I think Yugi took a blow to the head, says that he's Yami and Yugi is missing..."
Wheeler and Tristen sat up and looked around the room.
Wheeler sighed and said, "This room... It not just old... It looks like some abandoned it as they were living in it..."
I glared at him and said, "And why would anyone in their right mind do that?"
Tea turned her head and said in complete horror, "Guys... look..."
She pointed outside the window and there was a giant violet colored eye looking in at us.
I yelled, "What the hell is that?!"
The wall began to fall down where the eye was and revealed a huge human like figure.
It looked around 14 meters tall with all of it's skin removed, showing off the tendons and musles through it's body.
It had long hair that was a mix of black and blonde and hazed over eyes as it looked at us.
Wheeler yelled, "My God... What is that?!"
"Run you idiots!"
I looked and saw a girl with bright red hair come swinging in.
A guy followed her and yelled, "Petra! Get the civilans out of there! He's an abnormal for certain!"
She nodded and said, "Alright Neko, be careful this is a training mission don't forget!"
The blonde man took his blades up and began attacking the giant using the ODM gear strapped to his hips.
The girl looked at us and said, "Follow me and we'll get you to safety... "
I yelled, "Safe from what?"
"GOD NO!"
The man screamed at the giant squished him in its hands, spraying blood everywhere.
The girl yelled, "Neko! No!"
What the hell is that thing?!
It just killed that guy for nothing!
Why would it...
The giant held up the dead body of the man and placed it inside it's mouth, slurping it down into it's gullet...
Why is it eating...
The giant gave a satisfied grin showing it's blood stained teeth, letting bits of drool seep from his mouth...
Oh God... It thinks we're food...
And he's hungry...
Another man came riding in on the ODM gear and tried to slice at the monster's neck.
It grabbed the man and broke him in two...
The girl yelled, "We need to get our asses out of here! Now!"
She began leading us down and out of the building while the monster finshed his meal.
We began running behind her as the monster took notice of us.
The girl yelled, "Dammit! It's spotted us!"
She pulled out a gun and fired it into the air, sending a stream of black smoke up.
The creature took notice of the smoke and turned around, heading back into the maze of broken buildings.
The girl said, "What?! It's not following us... It must intelligent... But how the hell is a titan intelligent?!"
Tea yelled, "What was that thing?!"
She looked at us and said, "I'll explain more later, but right now we need to get to the vantage point. Then you people can tell me why the hell you're outside of the wall..."
PETRA'S P.O.V.
"Hey you found people too?!" Eld said, as he wrapped up a young man's arm.
The young man had the same strange hair as that other guy I picked up.
They related or something?
The other spikey hair guy stepped forward and said, "Yugi! You're alright!"
Yugi smiled and said, "Same goes for you and the others, Yami."
The brown haired kid in the white coat looked at him and said, "So you weren't lying...
" Yami nodded and said, "Kaiba, we been saying that for months."
The blonde kid stepped up to Yugi and said, "Yug, what happened to you?"
Yugi looked at the bandages wrapping his arm and said, "I'm not sure what happened Joey... I woke up with this guy putting bandages on me."
Eld smirked and said, "The name is Eld Gin, and you can thank me later for not letting you get eaten."
The group of people stared wide eyed at him realizing that he was almost eaten by a Titan.
Yugi eyes widen and said, "What do you mean by... eaten?"
Eld sighed and said, "Kid a Titan had you in its hands, if I would have came a second later you be dead... A Titan's lunch if you will."
He shivered and said, "A Titan... I've never heard of them... And they eat... people? That just sick..."
The teen girl looked at me and said, "Wait, was it that thing we saw... Was that a Titan?"
I nodded and said, "Where the hell have you guys been hiding? The Titans have been around for nearly a hundred years, how can you not of heard of them?!"
Yami shook his head and said, "We're not sure... To be honest... I'm not even sure where we are..."
I looked at them.
They looked lost...
Genuinely lost...
They have no idea what's going on...
I looked at them and said, "So you have no idea about mankind being on the bring of extinction?"
The other brunette yelled, "Say what now?! Why the hell did that happen?!"
Yugi looked at him and said, "Tristen calm down... I think she was going to explain..."
I nodded and said, "First off, my name is Petra Rall. Both me and Eld here are members of the Scouts. We protect the people from the Titans."
Yugi looked up and asked, "What do they want?"
I replied, "They are like animals, hunting out food. They gorge themselves until the food supply runs out... And you already know what they eat..."
They sat in shock of what I said.
Eld nodded and said, "That's why we on the bring of mankind dying out and that why we kill as many of those bastards as we can."
Yami looked at me and said, "That one we saw... You said it was different..."
I nodded and said, "Usually, Titans aren't that smart, but this one... This one was thinking and made the choice to retreat..."
Eld looked at them and said, "You know techincally, we're suppose to turn you guys in for reckless endagerment but..."
He looked at me with a gleam in his eye. "We could say they're part of the newbies, but they have to go in with the 104th fleet. They would have to join up to make it back, without being arrested."
I sighed and said, "It's up to them."
I looked at them and said, "Here are your options; One, you stay here and more than likely get eaten. Two, we bring you back to the walls and your arrested on the spot for reckless endagerment. Or three, we diguise you as training troops and we bring you into the wall... Where you'll have to go into the training division..."
Joey looked at me and asked "Training for what?"
Eld replied, "What else...Titan slaying... You learn how to work the OMD gear, fight with the blades, where Titans weak spots are, and how to not get killed. You'd become protectors of mankind... If you don't get killed in the first five minutes..."
I nodded and said, "The choice is yours to make. Chose wisely for it will not only."
They looked at each other and shared a nod. Yugi stood up and walked towards me.
He looked me dead in the eyes and said, "Sign us up. We'll join your training squad."
I nodded and said, "Then you'll need uniforms."
