The Angel Of Light
Yugi's eyesight was blurred and his knees weak with only the effort of trying to stand. He had been trapped within the shadow realm until the duel was finished. Both players had used their strongest cards, but still, it seemed as if Yugi was doomed to lose this most important of duels.
"It's not over yet Pegasus," he gasped, drawing another card. He looked down at the card he had drawn. How could this have gotten into his deck? It was a blank card, with no picture, and not stats displayed on its surface.
'I'm sure that this wasn't in my deck before,' he thought. 'It has to do something though.' Worry filled his mind, and he debated over what move to take, but he knew he couldn't wait much longer. His strength was waning fast, and he had to make his move now. Wasn't he always telling himself to trust in the heart of the cards? It had to have shown up for a reason. Besides, if he didn't know what it did, than Pegasus wouldn't either, and wouldn't be able to counter it.
His vision darkened as he placed the card on the field face down. 'Please let this work' he pleaded silently, 'I - I have to save Grandpa, and Kaiba, and Mokuba. all their souls are counting on me.' He slipped into unconsciousness, hanging onto that thought.
The Millennium Puzzle glowed, and Yami stepped in to take Yugi's place. He looked down at the card Yugi had placed during his last turn. 'He shouldn't have done it.' Frustration and worry colored his thoughts. Yugi had used what must have been the last of his energy to place that card down. Now- now Yami couldn't even feel his presence in the body that they shared.
There was something about that card though. He didn't know what it could be, but it seemed to give off a faint silver shimmer. Yugi had placed it as a monster card. and in attack mode too. Pegasus hadn't bothered to attack it, being so confident that he would win. He probably had wanted it to attack, so that he could stop it with a magic card or maybe a trap card of some sort. There was no telling what he had up his sleeve. Even more likely was that he wanted to use his Thousand Eyes Idol and bring it under his control, thus humiliating Yugi even more.
Yami's eyes narrowed. Yugi must have had a lot of faith in this card. Even stranger, he felt that attacking with this card could win the entire duel for him. 'How could this be?' he wondered. The card seemed to be giving off an aura of some sort, and as much as he might try to deny it; there was something familiar about that power signature.
'If only I had more of my memories from the past,' he thought with a mental sigh. Trusting instincts, and Yugi's faith, Yami flipped over the card, his eyes widening slightly as he looked at a card that had never been seen before, not even in the shadow games of Ancient Egypt.
"I play. the Angel of Light," he yelled.
The creature that appeared on the battlefield was a woman - or at least looked like one. She had silver hair tied up into heart shaped buns on each side of her head, with hair streaming down from each that came down to the ground. She wore a white skirt, which fell halfway to her knees, and had a rainbow colored band around the hem. She also had on a white no sleeved bodysuit with a broach bearing an eight-pointed star and tiny white wings on the sides centered on her chest. Her white high-heeled boots came up to her knees, and had a band of silver at the top. On her forehead was the same eight-pointed star symbol that adorned her broach. Finally, on her back was a pair of large white wings.
'That must be why she's called an angel,' Yami thought, slightly bemused at the sight of the creature that he the King of Games had never seen before.
'I am Cosmos, the guardian of the universe, called the Angel of Light'
Yami gasped. This creature - Cosmos - she had spoken in his mind! Even the monsters summoned in the shadow games hadn't done that! In fact, none of the monster had ever spoken to a human being, though he had sometimes fancied that he could feel their emotions. The Dark Magician always seemed to give off a warm feeling when he summoned him; but never had he heard actual speech.
Cosmos turned and looked at Yami. She gazed at him with cold, appraising eyes. 'You have summoned me to deal with one who steals and imprisons souls.' She turned to face Pegasus, her eyes narrowing in anger. 'Evil such as this cannot be tolerated.' At that moment, it seemed almost as if she were looking through Pegasus. A glimmer of recognition showed in her eyes, and she began to glow with an eerie silver light.
This time speaking out loud, her voice seemed to reverberate through the shadow realm. "Fragment of Chaos, begone! Celestial.Starlight.Blast!"
With those three shouted words, a ball of silver light appeared above her upraised hands. Bringing her hands down in front of her chest, the silver energy shot towards Pegasus, engulfing him in the purifying light. A shrill scream of anger and pain was heard. A dark shadow flitted away, and when the light faded, Pegasus crumpled unconscious to the floor of the stadium, which had reappeared. It was as if the purity of the light had banished the shadow realm.
"You are not the one who summoned me," Cosmos stated. "You look the same, however I can feel the difference. Both of you have pure hearts," she told him, "Though yours has lost it's innocence. Another fragment of Chaos exists in this world. I must remain until it has been destroyed. I shall stay with you, as you and the other soul within that body are the ones who brought me here."
She looked down at herself, critically examining the fuku she wore. "I cannot stay in this form," she told him. "It uses too much of my energy, and attracts my enemies." With that simple statement, a column of light shot up around her form. When the glow encasing her faded away, a new person stood before him.
The new girl was about 16 years old, although she was probably no more than five feet tall or so. Her long golden hair was done up similarly to Cosmos', but the buns were rounded rather than heart shaped, and the hair streaming down only came to the backs of her knees. Most strikingly, a crescent moon with the points turned upward glowed on her forehead.
After a moment, the crescent moon faded, and the girls' form swayed and began to fall. Yami caught the new girl just before she could hit the ground; he looked up as Tea, Joey, and Tristan rushed over to see if he was okay.
"Yugi! Are you okay?" Tea asked, as she moved quickly to his side. "What happened to Pegasus and the black dome? And who's she?"
"Her name is Cosmos," Yami responded. "She was a creature summoned for our Duel Monsters game in the shadow realm. Other than that, I know nothing about her, or why she's still here." Yami's frown showed his concern.
"Yugi placed her card down on the field, and I summoned her, however, I have never heard of a creature such as her before. From what I could tell, she seemed more powerful than Exodia, and in the Duel Monsters game and shadow games alike her is unstoppable."
Tea's eyes widened at his unexpected statement, and a strange look crossed her face as she realized that he had spoken about Yugi as a different person. "You're not Yugi - are you?" she asked him. "You're the other."
"Soul" Yami finished for her, as she hesitated. "I am the spirit which resides in Yugi's Millennium puzzle" he told the trio, fingering the gold pyramid with the eye symbol that he wore around his neck.
"I knew it! I knew that there were somehow two Yugi's!" Tea exclaimed, while Joey and Tristan stood in the background, amazed looks on their faces.
"You - you mean you're not really Yugi?" Joey asked him. Joey's eyes narrowed suddenly. "Then what did you do to 'Yug'? If you hurt him"
"I've done nothing to Yugi which he hasn't allowed me to do." Yami told the angry young man.
"Wait." Tea broke in. "You only come out when Yugi's dueling right?" Yami nodded. "So then why are you still here? Shouldn't you have disappeared, or whatever it is you do when you beat Pegasus?"
"Yes," Yami told her. "I should have, except for one thing."
"And that is?" Tristan interrupted, not wanting to be left out.
"The shadow realm. That is what the black dome you saw was. Pegasus decided he wanted the duel to be more interesting, so he summoned a part of the shadow realm to the arena. In order to block Pegasus' mind reading abilities, Yugi and I had to constantly shuffle our minds back and forth at each turn. Yugi insisted on playing monster cards on his turn."
"Why's that bad?" Joey asked.
"The special effect of the shadow realm is that it links the players life force to that of the monsters they summon. Each time you summon a creature, it drains some of your energy. I have the energy and the power to sustain that sort of drain. I do not think Yugi does. or did. I haven't been able to feel Yugi since he placed Cosmos in play. I was able to take the strain of summoning her, but just placing her on the field may have cost Yugi more energy than he could spare. I fear. we may have lost him."
"No you haven't," a new voice joined the conversation. Everyone looked up to find that the girl had awakened. "He is still there, although his spirit has been weakened greatly," the girl told them. The group all breathed a sigh of relief, even Yami, who was not prone to showing his emotions.
"So when will he. recover?" Tea asked.
"I can bring him back right now if you want. He is only drifting because of a lack of energy. I can heal him."
"You have healing powers?" Yami asked.
"In a manner of speaking" she replied. With that, she cupped her hands in front of her chest, forming a small hollow between them. A look of concentration appeared on her face, and the crescent moon symbol flashed into life on her forehead. A silvery golden aura glowed around her, and moments later, a silver crystal formed in the hollow between her hands.
"This is the Imperium Silver crystal," she told them. Her voice had taken on a strange echoing quality. "With it, I can use my energy to heal people. When I heal him, his soul will take its place in his body, so you may want to explain things to him before you switch." Yami nodded, agreeing. Holding the crystal in one hand, she reached out the other hand, and placed it over his heart.
"Silver Crystal Healing Power" she whispered. The silver crystal flashed, and seconds after, Yugi's Millennium Puzzle glowed. His eyes, which had closed during the whole process, flickered open, displaying an innocence, which had not been there previously.
"So." he said, giving a wan smile. "Yami's managed to tell me a little bit about what's gone on since I blacked out, but I still have a lot of questions."
She smiled at Yugi; a smile that was so innocent, it seemed at odds with the serious expression that had previously been on her face and Yugi's transferred memories of how she had fought in the shadow realm.
"I'm sure," she told him. "I know I would too if I were in your position.
"Maybe you could start by explaining who you are miss Cosmos." Yugi said.
"Call me Serena" she told him, smiling. "That is my name in my normal form after all. As to who I am, well to put it simply, I guess you could say that I am the protector of the Cosmos. When I was younger, myself, and a group of friends called the Sailor Scouts protected our world from evil monsters that came to destroy it." A strange look crossed her face, as if she were pushing back old sorrow.
"Our last battle was against a foe known as Chaos. Chaos had taken control of the body of one of the most powerful scouts, Galaxia, and had come to Earth to steal star seeds - the essence of one's soul. Before I was able to defeat him, all of my friends were killed by having their star seeds removed. Galaxia attempted to absorb them, but before she could, they flew to me, causing me to transform form Sailor Moon, which had been my previous form, into Sailor Cosmos. In my new form I was able to defeat him, but. I wish I could have found another way. One without the loss of my friends." Serena's eyes glimmered with unshed tears.
Yugi felt sorry for the girl. Saving her planet, but at the loss of all of her friends. Something she had said was bothering him though, "You said 'when you were younger," Yugi stated. "How long ago was this?"
Serena looked thoughtful for a moment. "I think - about 400 years" she said, almost as if she hadn't really thought about it in all that time.
"Four hundred years!" Joey yelled, looking about ready to fall over in shock.
"That's impossible! No one lives that long"
Serena looked slightly wistful. "A Lunarian does. Even as Sailor Moon, I would probably have lived several thousand years if I never died of causes other than age. Cosmos, though, is my ultimate form. As her, time does not even effect me. Because I now have within me the powers of Sailor Pluto, who as the Guardian of Time never aged."
"Four hundred years," Yugi looked slightly dazed. "But why did you come?"
"I came because you called me," Serena told Yugi. "As you placed that blank card down, I heard you plea, and your want to save the souls of your friends. I know what that feels like. You also drew my attention to the fragments of Chaos, which had found their way here. When I felt them, I knew I had to come and destroy them before your world ceased to exist."
"Cease to exist? Why would our world cease to exist?" Yugi nearly shouted. He looked shocked, and now worried. Serena however appeared calm as she answered, though Yugi thought he saw a flicker of worry in the back of her eyes.
"The fragments of Chaos that I spoke of earlier. They have no real mind of their own. Their only purpose is to destroy. They seem to be using the Millennium items as a way to enter and control a person; twisting their minds so that they seek to capture souls, just like the original Chaos did." Serena's gaze hardened. "I will not let them. I will not let any more people be harmed by this monster." Suddenly she looked up, a slightly pleased look on her face. "The other two in the castle whose souls had been captured have woken up - as well as your Grandfather Yugi, though he is some distance away."
A grin appeared on Yugi's face. "Grandpa is back to normal? And Kaiba and Mokuba are awake too? That's great!"
Serena smiled, glad that her new friend was happy. She had not had a real friend in so long, and she felt that Yugi really could be one of her friends, as well as the others: Tea, Joey, Tristan - maybe even the spirit that shared Yugi's body, whom they called Yami.
"Serena." Tristan began. Serena turned her had to look at the brown haired young man, who had been the quietest of all Yugi's companions.
"Yes?"
"You said that these fragments of Chaos worked through the Millenium items right?" Tristan had a slightly nervous look in his eyes.
"I believe so," she replied, nodding her head. "The items had already been imbued with magical properties. The probably made them more receptive to Chaos when it came."
"Well if that's true, then why had nothing happened t Yugi? He owns the Millennium Puzzle." Before she could answer, Tristan spoke up once more.
"And, well. what about another of our friends: Bakura? You haven't met him yet, but his is the owner of the Millennium Ring, and her sure was acting strangely earlier. I saw him bring some of the spells and creatures on the Duel Monsters cards to life!"
A.N. So what did you think? This is part one of the story. E-mail me with your reviews, and if you have any really good ideas that you want to share. I'll try to get the next part out as soon as I can get something of a decent length. ^_^
To those who have been reading this story, I hope to have chapter 10 out soon. I have been busy with other fanfics, and school, and my attention diverted. Sorry to make anyone wait.
