Shikiira: All right guys...
All in unison:LETS ROLL!
Chapter 1
Reunited!A Duel of the Heart
I woke up to the buzzing of my alarm clock. Groaning and moaning,I sat up and shut the annoying thing off. I stretched and yawned and jumped out to take a look at myself in the closet door mirror. It wasn't a pretty sight. My hair was a mess! How hard did I sleep last night?Sometimes I wondered why I let my hair grow past my knees.
I then went to the master bathroom and turned on the shower,hopefully a good wash would make it easier to brush through. After a quick soap and rinse ,I stood a few moments in there to relax in the warm pouring water. Once I was done,I stepped out ,dried myself off,and put on my school uniform.I also put on a blue fingerless glove on my right hand to cover up the mark. Then I grabbed my brush,and pulled it through my long silver hair, and to my relief,the brush glided through with ease.
I then went into the kitchen and made a quick batch of scrambled eggs that one could say it tasted like they got it from a five star restaurant. After eating,I quickly gathered my things,along with my deck. Making sure I had my Talisman on,I walked out the door and headed downstairs.
After walking out of the building, I suddenly felt my Talisman feel hot on my neck as it glowed. I looked to see someone across the street exit a game shop. I froze. The boy who I saw had the male uniform of Domino High, tri-colored hair like the Pharaoh's and hanging over his chest was the Millennium Puzzle! I found him! Well that was easy.
The boy seem to take notice of me as he smiled and waved. I smiled and waved back."Hey are you new here?" He came over to me and asked. I nodded and gestured to the apartment building behind me."Yeah,I just moved here from America."He smiled brightly."Oh cool! Oh,I'm Yugi Muto by the way." I smiled and held a hand out to him."I'm Shikiira Silvieay." He gasped.
"You were on the news two days ago!" He said ,his eyes widened and for some reason,showed a hint of concern." They said your plane crashed in Egypt and people thought you were dead! But just this morning you showed up on the morning news and they showed a clip of you walking through Domino Airport!What happened!?" I eyed him oddly."Why would I be on the news?"
His smile came back,"You're the Silver Duelist ,the top duelist in America,how could you not be?" I mentally slapped myself,how could I forget such a thing. His smile faltered again."But how did you come out unscathed?" I put a finger to my chin and thought for a moment. If I told him the truth,he'd probably think I'm crazy. I really hate lying. I hope I wont make a habit of it."Well I guess I was just lucky."
He seemed to look at me with disbelief,but seemed to take it ,'cause you can't really recover from a broken bone in two days. He then took another look at me again and asked." Say, are you going to Domino High?" I nodded."Ah sweet,ya wanna walk there together,I can introduce you to my friends!" I smiled brightly,then bowed and gestured to him in a funny way and said in a voice of act."Lead the way,sir!" We both laughed as we started heading toward the school.
"...And then I said,'No Joey stop! That's not soda that Sud Soap!' and he ended up spraying it all over Tristan ,and had the taste stuck in is mouth the rest of the night!" I laughed as he finished his story."You guys sure have a lot of hilarious tales." he laughed."Yeah,they're a wild bunch." I giggled slightly and say."Hope they don't mind having their 'wild bunch' getting one person bigger."
"Oh I'm sure they'll accept you without a second thought."He says putting a hand on my shoulder. Now getting better look at him,he seems to be as short as me.
"Hey look!" He says,looking straight ahead."We're here,come on,lets go find my friends and introduce you!" He then grabbed my hand and dragged me around looking for his friends. After 5 minutes of searching around ,we approached 3 people who were chatting to each other. "Joey,Tea,Tristan!" Yugi called waving his arm. The three walked over to us.
"Hey Yuug,who's dis." The blond one asked,looking at me sorta wide eyed. He wore the same uniform as Yugi, and had honey colored eyes. Yugi gestured to me." This is Shikiira." I gave a small wave as all three stared at me with big eyes." Whoa ,are you saying she's the Shikiira,as in Shikiira Silvieay!?" asked they guy who's brown hair was combed into a spike,with brown eyes as well,along with the uniform." Yugi nodded."But she doesn't want to talk about the plane incident." They all nodded.
"Well anyway." says the girl in the school uniform too. She had short brown hair and green eyes. She held her hand out to me."I'm Tea,nice to meet you." I smiled and gladly shook it."You too." The blond one then gestured to himself,"And I'm Joey Wheeler!" he then gestures to the spiked hair guy."And he's Tristan." I slightly bowed and say" It's nice me meet you all."
As I lifted my head ,the school bell rang and every one started to walk inside the building."Well,guess we'll catch ya lat'a Shikiira." Says Joey as he,Tea and Tristan started to walk off. Yugi then turned to me."Guess I'll see you after school,or sooner hopefully." I smiled and nodded."Yeah ,see ya!" We then parted and headed into the school. I had to walk to the office first and receive my schedule and find out what classes I'd be in.
I had World Geography for 1st hour, Art for 2nd, and Gym for 3rd .Then came Study Hall 4th,Geometry for 5th ,Literature for 6th ,Choir for 7th,and last Biology for 8th. Thank goodness I got all the classes I wanted. After that,I headed off for my first hour. I ended up getting there a bit late.
When I walked in,the first person I noticed was my tri-colored haired friend,also the wielder of the Millennium Puzzle. Her saw me enter and a big smiled appeared on his face. Everyone else just stared."Excuse me..."Says the teacher,"May I help you?" I then turned him and remembered what I was doing." Oh sorry I had to get my schedule and I..."
"Oh I see,you must be the new student I was going to get."He then turned to the class and gestured to me."Class ,this is Shikiira Silvieay. She's from America and just transferred here,so I ask you to treat her well." When my name was said,a couple people started murmuring things. I picked up a few things of what they were whispering ,and what they said was obvious.
"...she's the Silver Duelist..."
"...top duelist in America!..."
"...she's an awesome duelist!..."
I'm probably gonna get this for the rest of the day."Miss Silvieay,why don't you sit by Mr Muto. Mr Muto please raise your hand!" Yugi raised his hand immediately as he said the words. I walked over to him and smiled."Well I guess it was more sooner than we thought."I whispered to him. He smiled."I'm glad we're in the same class." I nodded in agreement. I was glad too,cause not only was I with a new friend,but the Pharaoh as well.
The next 2 classes went as well as the first. Art was fun as always and when I hit Gym,it turned out Tea was in that class,another thing I was happy for. We did some dance routine that me and her liked a lot. Turns out me and her a few things in common. She and I love music and dancing,though I like singing more. But when I went to 4th hour,things became a bit interesting.
This time I had a class with all four of them,which really delighted me. Again I was introduced and murmurs filled the class room." There's an open seat by Mr Kaiba, Mr Kaiba, please raise your hand." After a small pause a hand was raised near the back of the room. I could see them from up front. But when I got to the seat I was assigned my eyes grew. The one I was sitting next to,looked exactly like Priest Set! Though I knew he was just a reincarnation. I couldn't help but feel he was him. I had to resist the urge to hug him like she did to Ishizu. Though I wasn't pretty sure he still wasn't much a fan of hugs like his past life.
"You're staring..."
I was brought back to reality when I heard him speak and felt a little embarrassed."Oh sorry,It's just that you look a lot like an old friend of mine." He looked at me for a second then looked away,but I didn't expect him to say."So the Silver Duelist has come to get education in this place,I really wasn't expecting to meet like this." I gave him an odd look as to what he meant. If he viewed this school like that then why was he here." If you view this school like that when why are you here? I wouldn't expect the CEO of Kaiba Corp to get an education at a 'place like this' either."
He smirked "Touche. Well, I didn't want to pay to go to any private school. I need the money for more important things than some spoiled school."Yup he's exactly like Set."Makes sense." I say leaning back in my chair a bit.
"Alright class," announces the teacher,getting our attention." In here you may take your time catching up on work or study for test ,ect. If not your are free to do what,just make sure to keep the talking to a minimum ,alright."
"Yes Ma'am." the class replied in unison,except for Kaiba. After that ,students started moving desks around and talked to each other. Some seem to be taking out games and stuff,which brought my thoughts to my deck,but I didn't know who played except for Kaiba,Yugi may be,but I'm not sure.
So instead I get out a sketchbook. I flipped through the pages to find a blank one. Amoung the sketches were some that of Duel monsters. The Dark Magician, Dark Crusader, Luster Dragon, and..."Is that a Blue-eyes sketch?" I heard Kaiba ask. I turn to him to see him looking at me and the drawing."Uh yeah. It is."I handed him the sketch book for him too look at. His eyes seem to be tracing every detail of the dragon. " I must say, this has a lot of detail. Looks just like the real thing." He says handing it back to me.
"Thanks" I replied ,he usually isn't one to comment,though even back then I was able to get a few out of him in his past life." I looked at the drawing myself. It was his type of monster."Ya know," I heard him again."I would like to sometime see how the Silver Duelist works in a duel. Maybe I can find some time for us to have one." A smile came to my face."Well if so,I look forward to it." He smirked in reply.
"Hey Shikiira!" I saw Yugi approach,though he was a bit hesitant when he saw Kaiba."Hey ,You wanna come and help me teach Joey how to play Duel Monsters?" A smile beamed on my face."Sure!"As I got up Yugi took me by the arm and started to drag me again."Well come on!"I looked back at Kaiba who seemed to be a little taken back for some reason.
"Joey...Earth to Joey..."says Yugi trying to get Joeys attention."Hey are you in there,It's your turn."Joey was looking at his cards,thinking about which to play."Aw isn't he cute when he's thinking?" Says Tristan as he takes Joey into a friendly headlock. I giggled."Hey there Tristan,"He says,showing him the cards in his hand."Yugi and Shikiira are teachin' me how ta play Duel Monsters." Tristan looks at him oddly."Drooling Monsters ?" Joey looks at him annoyed and pushes him off."'Duel' Monsters ya nimrod!" I laughed.
"Sheesh" Tristan mumbles as he backs up next to Tea."They've been at it for hours." Says Tea,considering the duel went well into lunch break ,but we stayed in the classroom."Joey is starting to get the hang of the game,but Yugi is like an expert,as well as Shikiira."
"Okay Yugi..."Says Joey as he pulls a card out from his hand and lays it in the monster zone on his dueling mat."It's time to duel!" Tea starts to explain Duel monsters to Tristan. I don't know why cause before he acted like he knew it,sense he knew who I was."See each monster card has an attack number,and a defense number. First player to eliminate their opponents life points wins the duel." Joey looked confident,but I wasn't so sure sense his monster only had 800 attack and 400 defense,and he played in attack mode too."Pretty good move ,huh Yugi?" Yugi smiled and grabbed a card from his hand"Yup,pretty good move,but..." He place his monster in attack mode. It had 1500 attack and 800 defense."not good enough."
"What!?" Joey said,almost jumping from his chair and slamming his hands on the table."Thanks a lot,a card that powerful totally wiped me out!"Tristan wasn't really helping with his comments"Whoa you stink at this game Joey!" I shook my head."Nah, ya did fine,Joey. Yugi just has better cards." Yugi nodded."Yeah,ya see my Grandfather owns a game shop,and I get all my best cards from him."
"Wait,"I say."You mean that game shop across from my apartment building?" Yugi nods. Joey then stands up and puts his hands on the desk once more."Your own game shop!?What are we waiting for? Lets go!" I then come in and say." Well we still have other classes,we can go after." Yugi nods."Okay,maybe I can even get my Grandpa to show us this super rare card he's card he's got." The bell then rang for class to begin once more for the day for the next class to start.
I gathered my things. But before I left,I took out my sketch book and ripped one of the pages out,then I wrote something and signed it with my signature and folded it into fourths. I put the sketch book up then looked around for someone who I hoped was still in the room. Thankfully they were almost at the door and I caught them in time."Kaiba!" I called for him. He stopped at the exit and turned to me ."Here take this."I said handing him the folded paper."What is it?" he asked"Oh just a little something."I said walking past him and out in the hall."I hope we get to duel soon!" I waved and started down the hall to my next class.
Kaiba had stared down the way I went for a few moments before turning his attention back to the paper. When he unfolded it to see what it was,a smirk appeared on his face. It was the drawing of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that he took interest into. I left a message on it that read...
Was nice meeting to always follow your path of light. -Shikiira Silvieay
Was nice meeting you too Shikiira. Kaiba thought to himself. Things seem to have just got interesting,especially that rare card Yugi talked about. I wonder...
"Granpa! I'm home!" Yugi announced as we entered the game shop. There was a small old man at the clerks desk. He wore a casual long sleeve shirt and green overalls and wore a orange cap. His bangs looked a lot like Yugi's only they were gray and not blond. He aslo had a beard and mustache." And I see you've brought company."He says smiling."Gramps,"Yugi asks."could you show my friends your awesome,super-rare card?" His grandfather raises a brow."Rare card? You mean my special card? Hmmm" he puts his hand to his chin and thinks it over.
Yugi claps his hands together and begs"Please,please..." Joey bows and begs as well "Pretty please?" He looks at us in thought some more."Hmmmm..." he then smiles and says "Ha ha! How can I refuse?" He then grabs a small worn brown box from his pocket and places it on the table."You kids are in for a treat. I don't take this card out too often." He then looks up at us,I swear this is starting to get a little dramatic."Ready?"He asks"Here it is." He opens up the box and takes out the card showing it to us. My eyes widen. It was a Blue-Eyes White Dragon! He had one of the seven that were hidden somewhere around the world! That means there is only three left somewhere! I was lucky enough to find three and their combo cards.
"The Blue-Eyes White Dragon,"Yugi's grandfather began."So rare,so powerful,I never let it leave my hands."Awesome" Joey says staring at the card along with Tea gasping a silent"Whoa." Tristan though didn't seem at all dazzled like the rest of us and snatch the card from Mr Muto's hand to look at it closer and says."Hmm. Doesn't look all that special to me." I then quickly took it away form him and handed back to while the others sweat dropped.
"This card is priceless!" says Yugi's grandfather now holding the card close so It doesn't get snatched again."There are only seven of them in all the world!" A big smile appears on Joey's face."Speaking of priceless,I'm ready to trade." The old guy holds it even closer."Not for this card."Huh,Naw, I didn't mean dat card." he rephrases."I mean show me some other cool cards ta get me started."
But before they could get anything,the bell to the shop door jingled as some one walked in."Hello."Says Mr Muto ."Can I help you?" we all turned to see that it was Kaiba ,holding a brief case, walking in."If you can't,"He says "It certainly wouldn't surprise me."
"Seto Kaiba?" says Yugi surprised. Joey seemed be just as so."Kaiba!?" Tristan then asks"Doesn't he have a big ,fancy company to run?What's he doing down here?" Kaiba himself answers the question."Not that it's any of your business,but I came to see the card."Joey walks up to him and smiles."Hey are you into Duel Monsters too?This is perfect. Maybe we could all duel together sometime."
"Me duel you? "Kaiba asks like it was a joke."I would have more of a challenge playing solitaire."Guess he's a jerk like his past life too. I don't know how I was able to see past that and become friends then,but he didn't treat me badly which I never knew why." What?" Joey asked,a little offended."I am the number one ranked duelist in the country,and the favorite to win the duel monster championship." And always full of arrogance and self-confidence."You wouldn't last two minutes in a duel against me." Okay maybe even more so.
"Ooh,I'm shakin'."Says Joey sarcastically ,now clearly angered."Maybe you'd like to settle this with fist instead of cards?" Yugi and I then step in between them."Whoa,Take it easy ,Joey." Yugi says putting his hands up."Yeah,this is not really something to start a fight over." Joey really wanted to though."But Shikiira,Yugi,Kaiba's askin' for it." I could really tell Kaiba seemed to be enjoying it as he held his smirk."Asking for it or not isn't an excuse Joey."
"I'd Listen to Shikiira ,Wheeler. She's more level-headed than you could ever be."He's was alos the fist to notice I was such as. I gave him a displeased looked which sorta made his smirk falter a bit,but it stayed. "Now," he starts again."Does this have any worthwhile cards or not?"
His eyes suddenly widen as he spotted Mr Muto's special card laying in its case on the counter. "Hey!"He then shoves past Yugi and Joey,but walks around me to the clerk table and puts a hand down."Can it be!? The Blue-Eyes White Dragon in a dump like this!?" It is. The card I've been searching for.
"Well, enough window shopping." says as he closes the box, snapping Kaiba out of his thoughts."Is there anything else I can help you with?" Kaiba growled silently then slammed his brief case on the table and opens it to reveal it be filled with strong and powerful Duel Monster cards. Mr Muto gasped at the site of them."Listen to me old man." says Kaiba."Give me your Blue-Eyes White Dragon card,and I'll trade you all of these." Every one else went wide eyed."Whoa!"
"Ah,nice. But no thanks." Every one but me and Kaiba gasped at his decline,though Kaiba did growl in response."Fine. If you wont trade it,maybe you'll sell it. Name your price. I can pay anything you ask." Of course,Yugi's grandfather declines again."I'm sure you could. But this card is worth more than you could ever offer. Not because of it's power or because it's so rare, but because of what it means to me. This card was given to me by a dear friend,and so I treasure this card as I do that friend. So parting with it completely out of the question."
I smiled,how sweet. I'd would have done and said the same thing. Kaiba just grew wide eyed at his turn down,not wanting to believe a word he said. No! But at least Yugi thought the same way."You'd feel the same even if it were a common card ,right, Grandpa?" His grandpa confirmed it."Exactly. You see this precious card has bonded with my heart."Kaiba slammed the brief case closed.
"Fine! I've had enough of your nonsense."He then turned away and took his leave."Senile old fool."He then got in his limo and drove away. Heart of the cards... he thought to himself. Ridiculous! These cards are all about power,and one way or another,his Blue-Eyes White Dragon card will be mine.
The next day."I hope he has some cool cards today."says Joey,as the gang and I walk from school to the game shop."Me too" says Tristan along with Tea saying "Yeah." Walking though the shop door,Joey calls out."Ok,Gramps! I'm back to get more cards!" But to our surprise,no one was inside."Hey,hey Gramps!"The blond called again."Granpa,"Yugi calls."I'm home."I call out as well."Mr Muto ! Where are you?"
"Maybe he went out." Tea says trying to figure out why he wasn't here."Maybe,"says Joey, but unsure."If he was,the door would have been locked and the lights would be off." I say,then suddenly we hear the store phone ringing. Yugi then goes and answers it."Hello,game shop...Kaiba!?"I gasped as his name was said."Kaiba! What have you done Kaiba!?"
"Yugi let me talk to him." I say and he hands me the phone."Kaiba, whats going on?" I say in a calm,yet demanding tone."Ah,Shikiira, didn't expect you. Yugi's grandfather came over for a visit,but now he isn't feeling well. I just wanted to let Yugi know." I knew he did something,his tone was too obvious."Kaiba , you better have not done anything rash over a little card." I heard him slightly laugh on the other side of the line."A little card you say. I assure you its more than 'a little card'. Even though the drawing you gave me was sweet and all,I still want the real thing." My eyes narrow at the phone as he hung up. I then turn to the others and say."Lets get going ,we have to help ." They all nodded and we ran as fast as we could.
Arriving at Kaiba Corp we rushed in and took the elevator to the top. When the doors opened,we saw Yugi's grandfather collapsed on the floor."GRANPA!" Yugi cried as we he rushed over to him,followed by me and the others. "Grandpa,"Yugi asked,kneeling down to him."Are you okay?" His grandfather weakly looks up at him and says."Yugi,I failed." I wanted to teach that boy Kaiba a lesson about the heart of the cards ,but I lost." He then falls back down."Grandpa!" I then lean down to him as well."Mr Muto !"
"How's the old man feeling,hmm."
We all look up to see Kaiba standing in a doorway at the back of the room. "Kaiba,you sleeze!" Joey yells."What have you done to him!?" Kaiba had a smirk on his face."We had a duel,that's all. With each of us putting up our most valuable card as the prize. But I guess playing against a champion like myself was just too much stimulation for the old fool."Tea pointed at him and yelled."You should be ashamed of yourself!"
I stood up and gave him a dark glare."Seems like you did more than duel him." I say." Judging by his condition, you did something that could put anyone one out,champion or not! I can't believe you did this over a piece of paper!" I yelled,his smirk seem to again falter,but let out a laugh in response." It may be a piece of paper,but is a piece of paper that will make me the strongest duelist in world."
"Only a single card,Kaiba. A card in a deck that revolves around chance." I say." And strong card or not,It can still be easy to beat even with the simplest of common cards." His smirk faltered again,but then he took out Mr Muto's Blue-Eyes card he won."Right you are ,Shikiira,But I don't even need a single card to beat one such as this." he then grabbed the card with two hands...and tore it in half!
"Grandpa's most treasured card!" Yugi gasped,along with everyone else."Yes the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a rare and powerful card,and this one,will never be used against me."Mr Muto reached out weakly to the torn pieces that Kaiba tossed to the floor."My Blue-Eyes White Dragon. My Treasure..." he then groaned in pain."Grandpa,hold on..."Yugi then glared at Kaiba with tears starting to form in his eyes."How could you do such a thing!?"
"Yugi,here! Take this."His grandfather says,holding up his dueling deck."Huh?Grandpa?" Yugi asked confused."I built this deck. I put my soul into these cards,and I taught everyting you know Yugi. Take them. Take my cards and show him respect. Teach Kaiba to respect the heart of the cards,Yugi." Yugi was too worried."But Grandpa,you need help. I've got to get you to a doctor."
"Sounds like an excuse."Kaiba says,stepping up to them."Your friends can care for your grandfather,while you can I duel,unless your afraid." I glared at him more and was about to say something until Joey says."Take him Yugi!" Yugi gasped and me and Yugi turn to him,Tristan and Tea."We can take care of your Granpa,while you take care of creepy Kaiba. Teach dat rich spoiled brat what'a real duel is all about!" Tea was on the same page." We can look after for your Granpa Yugi." Yugi wasn't really sure."I don't know."I put a hand on his shoulder and gave him an approving smile with my eyes full of fire."You can do it,your a skilled player. You just gotta always believe. Never stray from your path of light." he smiled and Joey added to it."Yeah,and you've got the Millennium Puzzle. You can do this Yugi!I know you can."Tea then says."We all do."
Yugi's expression then changed to that of pure fired up determination. He then turned back to his hurt grandfather to took a hold of his deck."Okay Grandpa, I'll do it."Letting go replied,"I know you will,my boy."
"Everyone,"Says Tea,taking out a black marker,pulling the cap off."Put hands together."We all did as so and she drew a smiley face over them that fit together like a puzzle."And I'll mark us with a special sign." I smiled but Joey and Tristan don't get it."It's a symbol of our friendship."
"A mark to remind us that even when Yugi's dueling,no matter what happens, we'll always be there for him."I add. Tea nodded."Exactly."
I was about to follow the others to get Mr Muto to the ambulance below but..."Hold it right there Shikiira." I turned to him with a glare."What?" He smirked and asked." Remember the duel we agreed to." I nodded."I want you here,so after I beat Yugi,you and I can battle. Cause after I beat the Silver duelist,the top duelist in America, people will know there is no one out there who can beat me." I just smirked and laughed."Ya know some how,I doubt it. Because your arrogance will be your downfall." he only smirked in reply.
Kaiba then led us into a large room that looked like a stadium. The field below ,took the design of a duel monsters monsters mat,and on either end were towers with a single game booth that I'm guessing is were the players stood. Kaiba took the one a far and Yugi took the other"I designed this virtual stadium myself."Kaiba explains."Impressive ,hmm?I think you'll agree,it adds a bit more life to the game. We each begin with 2000 life points. First player to hit 0 loses. Are you ready to play,runt?"
"Play time is over ,Kaiba!" I then felt my Millennium Talisman heat up a glow ,and at the same time I saw Yugi's Millennium Puzzle glow."YUGIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" I heard him cry out...and feel his presence change to that of someone familiar. When the light dimmed Yugi seemed to have grown taller and his appearance seem more intimidationg. Kaiba gasped at the sight."Ah,what the."
My eyes widened as Yugi spoke."Now Kaiba,prepare yourself,because its time to duel!"The voice that came out wasn't Yugi's,but I knew very well who it belonged. It belonged to dear and old friend of mine. One who helped me out in the pasts when I was suffering. My partner in battle,the Pharaoh.
LP-Kaiba: 2000/Yugi: 2000
"Virtual systems ready,"Says Kaiba grabbing a card from his hand."So lets begin."He then places a monster in attack mode."I attack with the mighty Hitotsu-me Giant." A green light started to appear on his side of the field."You've never dueled like this before." Suddenly the monster he played appeared on the field with 1200 Atk and 1000 Def. And it was giant as the card described it. It was green skinned and only had one eye,its teeth bared at the Pharaoh who gasped."He brought the monster on the card to life." Kaiba then says."It's my virtual simulator. It creates life-like holograms of every duel monster."
The Pharaoh narrowed his eyes."So this is how you beat my grandfather." He then grabbed a card from his hand."Well now,it's my turn. I call upon the Winged Dragon,Guardian of the Fortress!" he then placed the monster,with1400 Atk and 1200 Def, in attack mode and it appeared on the field.
"Wha-Monsters!? Real Monsters!?" I turn to see Joey had came back."There not real,there just holograms that were designed by Kaiba to make the game life like." I say. He then turns to me ,giving me a surprised look,but returns his attention back to the game.
"Fireball attack!" The Pharaoh commanded. The Winged Dragon then let loose a fireball upon the Hitotsu-me Giant and destroyed it,creating a giant explosion that I had to shield my eyes from."Big brother! Are you alright?" I hear some one call. On the other side of the field I see a small kid with long messy black hair. I'm guessing he's Kaiba's younger brother. Kaiba's Life points dropped.
LP- Kaiba 1800/Yugi 2000
"Alright!" I hear Joey cheer."Go Yugi!" I call out to the Pharoah as well." Keep it up,you can win this!" he turned to us and gave a thumbs up. Kaiba then drew a card and looked at it."Well played ,Yugi, for a beginner. But how will you deal with this. Appeared on the field was Sagi the Dark Clown, a weak monster with only 600 Atk and 1500 Defense."Sagi the Dark Clown? But that card has hardly any attack strength."
"True,"says Kaiba." You Winged Dragon's attack is 1400,while my Dark Clown's is only 600,But if I combine it with this card..."He says placing a card in the spell/trap card zone." A magic card!" the Pharaoh gasps."Exactly."Kaiba replies."The Negative Energy Generator." I gasp as well."That multiplies his monsters attack by 3 making it's attack 1800! Enough to take out the Winged Dragon!" Kaiba smirks."Right you are Shikiira. Now,Dark Clown,attack with Dark Light!"
Sagi the Dark Clown did just as so,and fired off a dark ball of energy that struck the Winged Dragon and sucked it into nothing,ridding it of the field.
LP-Kaiba 1800/Yugi 1600
"As you can see,combining cards can be very effective."Says Kaiba as we watch the Pharaoh's life points drop. I looked at the Pharaoh to see him draw ,but didn't seem to like what he drew. He then placed it in his hand and took a different card and put it on the field in defense. But as the monster was generating."Dark light Attack!" The monster then ceased it's materializing and disappeared."Hang in there Yugi!"I here Joey call.
Monster after monster Yugi had put in defense,Kaiba destroyed each and every one with Sagi the Dark clown."Come on!" I called out." You can do it! You just need to believe you can pull this off!" Kaiba again destroyed another defense monster Yugi had played."You're not fairing any better than the old man did, deck is just as weak and feeble as your grandfather." I growled and yelled at him."It is not! Just because he hasn't drawn anything big yet ,doesn't mean he wont, and doesn't mean its weak. This is a game of chance Kaiba,cause you never know what your gonna draw. So don't act like you know everything. But if he believes he can win this ,then may luck be on his side. Power ain't everything. Even you can draw the wrong card that can mess everything up!" Kaiba's smirk falter once again,am I the only one who can make him do this?
"Shikiira is right Kaiba. My Grandpa is a great man and a better duelsit than you'll ever be. He intrusted me with his cards,and I can feel his heart in this deck. I doubt you have that kind of faith in your cards,Kaiba. Because if I start drawing the cards I need,then I can prove how wrong you are." Kaiba's smirk then left his face. Yay, I'm not the only one! He then reached for his deck and drew a card."And I believe in my Granpa's deck." He smirked. Awesome,he drew something good."And my faith awards me with Gaia the Fierce Knight!" He placed the monster on the field in attack mode."With a destructive power of 2300!"
Kaiba growled as Gaia charged and stabbed it's sword right into Sagi. The Dark Clown then faded away and Kaiba's life points dropped again.
LP-Kaiba 1300/Yugi 1600
"Way to go Yugi." Joey cheered as well as I." Yeah,that's how it's done!" I see the Pharaoh turn to me and smirk ,then turned his attention back to the duel."Alright Kaiba,your move." Sadly for us Kaiba's smirk reappeared."Ha! This'll be over sooner than you think."He drew his and looked at it. His smirk grew. Uh-oh,he drew something,and he drew something big.
"I call upon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Me,the Pharaoh and Yugi all gasped."Huh? No way!"
"Impossible! We all watched Kaiba tear that card in half!" Says Joey not believing his eyes."Unfortinatly ,it is."I say." There are only 7 in the whole world. And it's possible he had gotten his hands on one of those seven."
"Right again, Shikiira." Kaiba says turning to me." You're such an observant one. I really look forward to our duel. But for now..." His Blue-Eyes then attacked Gaia with White Lightning,disintegrating him, and taking a large bite out of the Pharaohs life points.
LP-Kaiba 1300/ Yugi 900
"Ha! Your monster's destroyed. Faith or no Faith,you will fall before our superior monsters,Yugi. Power is what this game is all about,you fool. Faith is for losers. Like your pathetic grandfather." Yugi grit his teeth at Kaiba's word as well as I."In your entire deck,there is not a thing that can stand up to a Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Yugi again had to go on the defense. Making me worry if he was ever going to draw anything to help him. But I gasped as Kaiba drew another card and showed what it was."So what hope do you have against 2?"
How could he have gotten his hands on another!? There would only be 2 left with him already having 1,me 3,and and the one he tore up. But is it possible he could have another. If I do go against him and he has three. What would happen if me and him duel? Would I win or lose? The odds would be 50-50, but does he really have the last 3?
"Why don't you just admit defeat ,Yugi?" I could tell the Pharaoh really looked frustrated. I couldn't let him start doubting."Don't give up!" he then turned to me."You've never given up before,so don't give up now! You can beat him! Even if he had all seven in his deck you could still beat him! Because there is always something! And that something is in your deck. I know there is!" He stared at me for a moment,then nodded with new found determination
"I won't give up. Grandpa is counting on me." He drew a card and looked at it. Judging by his reaction he got something he needed."Swords of Revealing light!" He called out,placing the card in the Spell/trap card zone."It stops all monsters on the field for 3 turns." Light-shift swords then fall upon Kaiba's Blue-Eyes,blocking their line of attack. I smiled, now he has a chance.
"How desperate."Says Kaiba."What possible good will a 3-turn delay do you?" seriously,must he always be so demotivational?" It gives him a chance to draw something he needs to defeat you. What else?" I turned to Yugi seeing him deep in thought." In three turns he can draw the right pieces to finish the puzzle he must complete. He just needs more than a single card to win,strong monster or not!" For some reason when I said 'puzzle' he looked like he found something he do.
"Quit your stalling Yugi,or you will forfeit the match!" The Pharaoh just glared at him."I never forfeit." He again drew,and by the looks of it,he got something he again needed."Draw any card you like,it wont change a thing." Says Kaiba as he draws and puts a card in his hand."My dragons may be frozen for another two turns,But my new monster is under no such spell!" he says as he grabs another card and places it on the field."The Judge Man with and attack power of 2200!" Judge Man then attacks the Pharaohs defense monster,destroying it.
It was the Pharaohs turn again,and it seemed he drew another good card as he place a monster on the field in attack mode with 2500 Atk and 2100 Def."Dark Magician,Attack!" The Dark Magician then trusts his palm forward sending a force of energy at Judge Man,shattering the hologram,and brought Kaiba's life points down."Your Judge Man falls."
LP-Kaiba 1000/ Yugi 900
Kaiba didn't even flinch as he watched."Oh,"He says."A sacrifice that doesn't even phase me."he drew another card."And though neither Dragon can move for one more turn,My next card is the third Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" I knew it! He did have the last three! The Pharaoh gasped as he place the monster in attack position. The dragon let out an ear splitting roar as it appeared."Now my dragon attack!"
The Dragon obeyed and The Dark Magician was destroyed leaving nothing else on Yugi's side of the field except his Swords of Revealing Light. I again had to shield my eyes.
LP-Kaiba 1000/ Yugi 400.
"So tell me ,Yugi, how's your faith now? On my next turn,All 3 Blue-Eye White Dragons are free to attack! This game is over no matter what card you draw." Could this be it? Will the Pharaoh lose the duel? Will I have to face his wrath next? No,I can't start doubting him. I never have and never will."Come on!" I call out again."Ya still have one last chance to win this! It's all or nothing now,so let this next draw be worth while!" The Pharaoh nodded and got ready to draw.
" You can't possibly stand against my 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons. It's over,Yugi. You were never a match for me." The Pharaoh seem to doubt himself again."Don't listen to him Yugi!' Joey called out. I couldn't let him doubt himself anymore. I clenched a fist close to my face scrunching my eyes closed. There has to something else I can say. I open my eyes to my closed fist with the marker drawn on it. Of course! Our friendship marks. This will bring his hopes up.
"Yugi!" I called out ,he turned to me as I held up my hand with the marker marks."Remember why Tea marked our hands? She did it so you would never forget that you alone in this duel. That your not the only one fighting here. Even though you may hold the cards we still fight along side you. Enough doubt already and lets end this together! Your not the only one putting Faith in this last draw!" A smile was brought to his face as he looked at me,and the marker on his hand."Your right Shikiira,I got to believe in my cards like you and the gang believe in me." He then puts his hand on his deck,and as he drew,a smirk appeared in his face.
"Draw your last pathetic card,so I can end this duel ,Yugi." Says Kaiba,getting impatient. The Pharaoh's smirk broadened as he replies."My Grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards Kaiba..." he then holds up a card to him."But it does contain,the Unstoppable Exodia!" Kaiba gasped in horror."AAH IMPOSSIBLE!" Alright! Now he's in for it.
Yugi then placed five cards in the monster zone."I've assembled all 5 special cards. All five pieces of the puzzle." A star then appeared on the field and emerged from it Exodia had came."EXODIA,IT'S NOT POSSIBLE!NO ONE'S EVER BEEN ABLE TO CALL HIM!" Kaiba cried out,backing up in fear."Nothings impossible!" I say.
"Exodia, OBLITERATE!" Exodia then thrust its hands forward,letting lose a gold beam of destruction."AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
LP-Kaiba 0/Yugi 400
"You did it! Yugi ya won!" Joey cheered, pumping a fist in the air."I knew you could do it!"I say.
"This can't be!" I hear Kaiba's little brother say."My brother never loses!"
"You play only for power ,Kaiba, and that is why you lost. But if you put your heart in tha game,there is nothing you can't do." I smiled brightly and say."Exactly,couldn't have said it any better myself." Kaiba couldn't believe he lost."But-but how? How could I have lost to him?"
"Kaiba ,if you truly want to know,"The eye of Horus suddenly appears on his forehead ,but then I also felt my magic surge through me as it appeared on mine as well in response. Even the mark on the backside of my right began to faintly glow under it's glove."THEN OPEN YOUR MIND!" I then felt a surge of energy shoot across the stadium at Kaiba,who flinch and froze,but then fell to his knees."There Kaiba,maybe now you will begin to see."
The glow on both of us stopped as the Pharaoh got down from his booth. I ran over to him to congratulate him on his win."I knew you could do it." He smiled and to my surprise, grabbed me a pulled me into a hug."I couldn't have done it without you. You believed in me,and for that I am thankful."
We parted the hug and I smiled brightly."Your welcome, my pharaoh." I said, bowing slightly to him. He raised a brow at what I said."Pharaoh?" he reiterated in question. I gasped silently But tried to get his thoughts off it, I can't tell him yet. I took his hand and started pulling him toward the exit."Why don't we go and make sure your grandfather is alright." He nodded in reply."Right."
