A/N: This is my first story with any Yu-Gi-Oh characters in it. It takes place just after the Duelist Kingdom series. Being that this is an A/U, Yugi doesn't duel Rebecca in this timeline, and Seto doesn't get trapped in the virtual world. As far as the Dragon Ball universe is concerned, it takes place just prior to the Red Ribbon Army saga. Goku can't fly (without Nimbus), knows only the Kamehameha Wave attack, and is about 15-years-old, so no planet destroying energy blast exchanges or knocking out a human with one hit things. I hope you enjoy the fic.
Wish of the Millennium
Prologue
It was done. He had waited for countless centuries for it, but now it was done. With the Millennium Eye in his possession, he could continue his plot to acquire all seven of the Millennium Items. It had only been a few hours since Yugi defeated Pegasus. Yugi and his friends were on their way to see Grandpa in the hospital, while Seto and Mokuba went their own way. Bakura had told them he needed to get back home.
"Are you sure you don't want to come with us, Bakura?" Yugi asked anxious to get to the hospital.
"I'm sure. My dad must be wondering where I've been for the past couple of days," Bakura responded on the conjoining street.
"Ok. We'll see you later, Bakura," Yugi said in departure with Joey, Tea, and Tristin.
He waited until they were out of sight. His Millennium Ring exposed itself just then.
"Fools," Yami Bakura voiced, "Little do they know there day of reckoning is at hand. Yugi had better enjoy these moments with his grandfather, for they will be his last."
Bakura began to make his way back to Ryou's house when something caught his attention. As he was passing an alley, he noticed a confrontation between four people. Being in the mood to watch mortals kill themselves, he decided to take a look. There was a tall woman, a short, dog-looking person in a samurai suit, and a short, blue imp who were in one corner and a man in a suit holding a gun, fixed on the short, blue one. Of course, Bakura did not get too close, instead using his powers to see and hear it from a safe distance.
"Ok, just drop it," the suit said.
"No!" the blue imp answered, "It's mine! I found it!"
"Look! Just give it here, and no one gets hurt! I know you stole that from my store!"
"Never! All Dragon Balls belong to me regardless!"
Bakura was stunned at those words.
"What? Dragon Balls?" he questioned in his thoughts, "I thought they were only myth! But then, so are the Millennium Items! If the legends are true, then obtaining all seven Millennium Items may not be so difficult than I thought."
"Mai! (the DB Mia, not the duelist Mai) Shao!" the blue imp commanded, "Get him!"
"But sir," the dog-like one said, "he has a gun. All I have is a sword."
"Where is your gun!?"
"I think back in the car."
"You idiot! Mai, get him!"
"I'm sorry, sir," the woman apologized, "I forgot my gun too."
"What?! Are you that dumb?"
"Yes sir," they said simultaneously.
"Ok," the man in the suit said, "Give me my Dragon Ball!"
"Don't even think about it, mortal!" Bakura said from the entrance of the alley.
"Who the hell are you?" the man in the suit asked turning around.
"Your executioner if you don't get your ass out of here."
"What? Watch your freakin' mouth, punk! I don't know what you want, but get the hell out of here."
"If you don't leave, I'll send you to hell, via the Shadow Realm."
"Shadow what?"
A dark mist began to surround all five of them.
"Look, punk. I don't got time for this."
"That makes two of us," Bakura said getting out his deck.
He drew on card from it and smiled.
"Last chance, mortal."
"No!"
"Fool!"
Bakura revealed the card in his hand, the Dragon Zombie. The creature materialized from nowhere. The man aimed his gun at the monster, but it breathed its corrosive breath on him. The man in the suit yelled in agony as the breath was literally rotting him until nothing was left. As Bakura laughed under his breath, the dragon disappeared but not the mist of the Shadow Realm. He walked to the mildly shocked trio.
"Well," the blue imp said, "I am grateful for that act of heroism. When I take over the world, I'll be sure to note you."
"Who said anything about letting you go?"
"What?"
"Tell me what you know of these Dragon Balls, and maybe I'll let you keep your souls."
"I am the Great Emperor Pilaf! You will respect me!"
"I don't care if you're the Pharaoh of Egypt. Tell me what I want to know," Bakura commanded while drawing another card.
He smiled when he saw which one it was: the Electric Lizard.
So tell me how was this beginning. This is my first Yu-Gi-Oh related fic so go easy on me…but not too easy. I would like constructive criticism.
