Ch 1
The Wanderer's Arrival
I write here my time in this world what has happened. My name is unimportant I use only the moniker the Wanderer, my arrival here was rough as always but this time my arrival changed things in ways I could not understand.
The world tugged and jarred, everything spun crazily and he found himself in the middle of a park
"#$ not again!" the wave of pain him and he collapsed to his hands and knees his stomach heaving. His scream could be heard for blocks and everyone who heard it shivered at the sound.
He crawled to his feet and stumbled away as fast as he could, "so any idea where I am now?"
he looked over to the side "I'm where! Why am I back in the Yu-gi-oh universes! What the hell do you mean it's later! I fine, do I at least have my deck? no of course not that'd be too easy."
He started out of the park muttering to himself the whole time. Then he bumped into someone looking over he noticed a duel disk the chaos one's used by Dartz goon's. He grinned a little and shifted his jacket so it looked like he had a duel disk on his arm he said, "let's duel."
The guy activated his duel disk and played the seal of Orichalcos, which instantly started bearing down on them since he didn't have a life point counter so technically it was zero.
"Oh did I forget to mention I don't have a duel disk or even cards? And now the seal is going after a soul, one problem it can't take mine, that leaves only your soul to take, sorry buddy."
The seal went right past him and trapped dartz goon, as it did he saw what the man had been speaking to a sad looking ghostly woman roughly the same age as him. The man began stripping the now soulless goon of his duel disk and cards. He held out the seal and it's new victim incased inside. "You can't steal someone's soul if a) they don't belong in this universe and b) they don't own their own soul, my wife owns mine." he finished as he looked at her. "Should I tear up the soul card?"
"No remember what happened that time with Kaiba?" she said her voice obviously heard only by him.
"It wasn't my fault I didn't know it'd kill him, the universe before that it freed him."
"Just don't until we're sure no more innocent deaths you promised"
"Yes I did"
He pocketed the card and began scanning the deck, he pulled his favorite card free of the deck "summoned skull" he turned to her "did you do this?" he asked.
"No why?"
"It just looks so much like my deck I started with last time"
"Wasn't me"
"So what are you going to call yourself this time? King of games, ruler of god's or something equally insane?"
"I'll just go with Wanderer again your right I have been an ass lately so any idea what I'm supposed to do here?"
"Close as I can figure your path out is to protect the millennium items."
"That's great want to tell me from what?"
"No clue"
"Oh goody any idea who's got them this time?"
"Well the millennium locket is held by a Marie Huebner"
"Wait millennium locket? Don't you mean necklace?"
"No it's another friggin millennium item that makes like nine"
"Nine the pyramid of light?"
"Yup still exists"
"Goody, so uh any clue what city I'm in?" She pointed at a huge sign that said domino city "oh never mind."
He walked into the city mumbling every now and then to his ghostly companion when they were alone about directions. Soon he stood outside of the game store owned by Yugi's grandfather, he walked up and entered the store.
Back at the park strange things where happening a strange tear appeared almost as if time and space were coming undone. Another person appeared and then another wondering away from the crack as it opened a little more they looked around as if both familiar and unfamiliar with the area.
"Where are we?"
"We're in domino city, but it's so different"
"It's well it's like the pictures our dad's used to show us."
"Well the path to the store should be the same right?"
"I guess so let's go"
"What do you mean you don't have the puzzle anymore!" the Wanderer screamed at him.
"I mean exactly what I said I don't know why your so upset I undid the puzzle and gave it back to Shadi, besides who are you and what do you want with the puzzle?"
"What about the other items where are they?"
"Shadi has them all"
"No that's not true there are three more the pyramid of light" Yugi's face took on a strange tint from the mention of that. "The millennium amulet and the millennium crown"
"Are you nuts those two aren't millennium items!" Yugi yelled finally angry with this strange man.
"Yugi what's going on?" Tea said as she came down the stairs. When she stood on the bottom stair he saw her and the Wanderer's eyes widened she was obviously several months pregnant. He gasped and shook his head for a second looking from the two of them then there fingers he saw wedding rings and he realized he was way farther along in there time line then he'd believed with one of Dartz goons around.
"Nothing, Yugi let us take our talk outside and leave your wife to her rest. Bring your duel disk though" the Wanderer turned and went outside.
"Who are you?"
"I'm called the Wanderer," he said as he shuffled his deck and slapped it into the chaos duel disk.
"Is that supposed to mean something to me?"
"Not really, now our wager is a simple one if I win you help me get the millennium items, if I lose I'll tell you why I need them"
"Fine now it's time to duel!"
Both of there life points shot up to 8000 life points, wanderer drew his five cards "since you think you're the good guy in this you may go first"
Yugi "I place two cards face down and summon celtic guardian in attack mode"
Wanderer looked at his five cards, monster reborn, dark hole, Raigeki, mad dog of darkness and battle footballer. He drew and placed seven tools of the bandit face down. "I place this card face down and summon battle footballer in defense mode. Your move"
Yugi drew and placed another card face down "I sacrifice my celtic guardian for dark magician girl."
"Damn one of those facedown cards is sage's stone isn't it?"
"Yes it is" Yugi said as he activated his magic card "say hello to my favorite card dark magician! Now my dark magician attack his battle footballer with dark magic attack." The footballer exploded from the blast gears and oil spraying the area. "Now dark magician girl attack his life points directly dark magic attack!" the blast smashed against the Wanderer leaving his clothes a seared mess blood dripping from area's that didn't quite cauterize.
"I see Kaiba's upgraded these ones," the Wanderer said coughing a little barely standing from the blast.
"Yes he has, and that ends my turn go Wanderer"
"Fine" he drew shift " I place this card face down and I activate dark hole!" Yugi's favorite monsters where sucked into a black hole squishing them into nothingness. "Now I summon mad dog of darkness attack Yugi's life points directly" the dog jumped at Yugi and drove him to the ground before biting into his shoulder. "I end my turn now go Yugi"
"Don't expect to beat me so easily" Yugi said as he drew "I summon obnoxious celtic guardian in defense mode and end my turn"
"Great now I can't get rid of that elf without an equally weak card" the Wanderer drew his own dark magician. "I pass"
"Fine I switch my celtic guardian to attack mode and place this card facedown and end my turn"
"You think I'm falling for a trap? Not hardly" he drew relinquished. "I'll pass this turn as well."
"It wasn't a trap it was this card pot of greed now I draw two cards" and sacrifice my obnoxious celtic guardian for summoned skull!"
"You dare?"
"Dare what?"
"Use my own favorite card against me?"
"I see yes I do dare and that's not all I'll use monster reborn to bring back my dark magician. Now I'll use another face down card thousand knives" a rain of blades sliced apart the mad dog of darkness spraying blood along the street. "Now my monsters attack his life points directly!" the dark magician's blast burnt off most of the Wanderers face and the electrical attack of the summoned skull burnt some of the flesh from his bones.
"1000 life point's left guess I'll have to step up my game." he drew cyber jar "I play this card in face down defense position and end my turn."
Yugi drew then said "I won't risk my dark magician so I'll change him to defense mode and attack with my summoned skull"
The cyber jar was revealed by the attack it sucked in the summoned skull and dark magician then disappeared "you know the rules" Wanderer said he drew his five "penguin soldier in face down defense mode, buster blader, opticlops in attack position, blazing inpachi in attack position, magician of faith in face down defense mode."
"Dian keto the cure master, change of heart, axe of despair, remove trap and card destruction. Now since I don't have any monsters I can't attack anymore, so I go into my second main phase and set these 2 cards down and activate card destruction. I set one card face down and one monster in face down defense position and activating dian keto brings my life points up to 8000."
Wanderer drew his five new cards from card destruction pot of greed, trap hole, riryoku field, swords of revealing light, and he grinned as he pulled up his favorite card summoned skull. Yugi ended his turn he drew disc fighter and played his pot of greed, drawing blindly loyal goblin and yomi ship. "Well yugi it's been a fun duel but I think I'll win it all right here first I flip up penguin soldier." the penguin jumped up and pointed it's sword at Yugi's face down monster and then at itself returning both of them to there owners hands. "Then I'll flip up my magician of faith!" the magician stood up and stretched a little her staff activate "and by flipping her face up I can bring back one magic card to my hand guess which one that's right monster reborn! Now I'll sacrifice my magician of faith to bring forth my unstoppable summoned skull. Now using my regained monster reborn I'll bring back my buster blader. Now my monsters attack his life points directly!"
"We're finally here wow a duel's going on right in front of my house"
"Let's check it out"
They ran up to get a better look.
"Nice try wanderer but I activate mirror force!"
"And I activate seven tools of the bandit"
"No"
"Yes"
The mirror shimmered and disappeared and the lightning from the summoned skull burnt away flesh dropping Yugi's life points to 5500, the opticlops laser eye blew a whole in Yugi's chest further dropping his life points to 3700 buster blader cut him in half dropping his life points even farther to 1100 as blazing inpachi set him on fire dropping his life points to zero.
"I lost"
"Yeah sorry about that" Wanderer said as he walked forward both of the holograms projecting there wounds disappearing. "I just don't have time to explain i want to get out of this universe as fast as possible."
Then they appeared running and the two tripped and fell right over Yugi and skidded on the floor, they both turned around and everyone's jaws dropped open.
"Dad is that you?"
And so I realized that my arrival may have done damage to the universe I was in, and so it was my duty to put it right again. The only power strong enough though would be the combined powers of the millennium items all of them not just the original seven.
