Soru: Yamu! I discovered something awesome today!
Yamu: What is so important that you had to interrupt my Hikari time?
Soru: Riku and I were on the computer today, and we noticed that while people weren't reviewing our work, they were certainly looking at it!
Yamu: Are you serious? You mean that people are actually looking at our work? Well, to everyone out there, please send us some comments!
A teen stood on top of a crudely distorted building overlooking an alley. This alley was special because it displayed an interesting scene. A male teenager with spiky tri-colored hair was battling the Heartless with what looked like monsters coming out of cards. There was one that looked like a giant white dragon, and another that appeared to be a purple robed magician.
Sora was surprised. His first glimpse of the inhabitants of this city, and they appeared to be fighting back! This was actually a good sign. It makes protecting the world so much easier when the hearts are strong with faith and love. Sora continued to look down from his perch, judging when he should jump down and help, when suddenly it looked as though the tri-colored boy faltered. Taking that as his queue, Sora glided down, into the dimly lit alley, slicing in half two pure Heartless with his shadow tipped claws, wincing at the unknown feeling while landing softly in front of the new boy.
"Who are you? What are you?" The new kid asked
"A human, believe it or not, an ally, and hopefully a friend." Sora replied
"Master, I wouldn't trust him so easily, he looks just like them." Spoke the purple robed magician. "I think we should escape. Our life points are really low right now, and I don't think I have enough mana left to heal you again, that and almost all of your cards are in the graveyard."
Taking another swipe at a Bouncywild, Sora turned to the unknown fighter. Even he could see the exhaustion beginning to take over.
"Okay kid, listen up, I know I may look scary, but I actually AM human. Can you at least trust me for a little bit? I have a potion in my bag," he said, tossing him is inventory satchel "take it and run ok? I can buy you some time with these guys, but you still need to be strong enough to stay on your guard."
Sora didn't really have a need for potions while he was in this form. It seemed like the darkness formed a hard, impenetrable, second skin around his body. Nothing could cut through it. Not even the Heartless could cut him, though they tried really, really hard.
Sora could see the indecision in his eyes. It was starting to annoy him just a little bit. Distrust he could live with, but slow decision making skills had cost him too many comrades.
"Look we can play the who's on whose side later. Right now, you need to make a decisi-"Before Sora could finish his sentence a Guard Armor appeared through a shadow hole. "Move, move, MOVE! We have no time now! Unless you want to die, come with me!"
Decision made for him, the unknown boy was forced to follow Sora through alleys, his purple robed magician floating behind him, above his own slightly shimmering card. Walls were exploding everywhere as the Guard Armor was forced to tear down buildings to follow the boys through alleys. Its metallic knight helmet began to clink maniacally as it began to near the boys.
"Kuriboh in defense mode! We have to at least make it to the stone bridge that should be strong enough to hold back that thing." Shouted the boy pulling out another card from his diminishing deck. The card seemed simple enough. One side had a picture of a small fuzzy creature with green reptilian claws, while the other side had a large black oval in the center, surrounded by a mix of brown and gold. When he called out the name of the card, the picture began to glow. Suddenly in a flash of golden light the picture vanished from the card and reappeared floating above the card. Ten times its actual size.
Sora was amazed. That a person had such a power was unimaginable. The Kuriboh that he had summoned looked exactly like the image on the card only now it was curling into a small fuzzy brown ball, and flying right behind Sora, and the other unknown boy.
"Hey, I never got your name." The unknown boy asked after jumping above a crashing chunk of cement that could have crushed him. "If you expect me to become your friend, then you need to at least tell me your name right?" He finished, looking over at Sora expectantly.
Sora paused, bewildered, before he swiftly dodged a spinning metal glove. He had to remember that this was no time to let his guard down.
"So, you expect me to stop right here and now to introduce myself, and ask you for your own name? Are you trying to get us killed? Yeah Sora lets all stop with the giant hulking Heartless and include the formalities before we are smashed to a bloody pulp! Damn! Are you seriously asking me this now?"
The unknown boy started laughing. As much as Sora hated to admit it, he actually welcomed the sound. Not many people had time for laughter when they were busy protecting their lives. He let a small smirk flash over his face before his passive calm took over.
"I knew that would work! It always did with Jounochi before…n-never mind. Anyways my name is Yami, Yami Yugi." Yami said this with the facial expression that was way too familiar to Sora. The loss of a friend, maybe even something more, while doing battle with the Heartless. Sora knew this feeling well. There was a uncomfortable silence now, between the two boys, well, other than the crashing of rubble and walls that they constantly had to jump over in order to survive.
"Look we are almost past the bridge! Quickly, jump underneath it and head to the other side! We should be safe there." Yelled Yami, while he splashed into the pitch black water, and into the shadowy underside of the bridge.
Soru: I have to say, this whole dialog thing is really hard to come up with.
Yamu: Well maybe people can give us suggestions on what they should say, or how quickly they learn to trust one another.
Soru: Yeah, that would make things way easier. Please everyone, read and review!
