You find yourself back in the room with purple and gold trimmings. The elderly lady is pausing in her story to get a glass of water and the other children in the room are streching their legs. Some of them have left while others are waiting patiently and there are some new people waiting patiently to hear the story.

Glancing out the window, you realize that the sun hasn't moved since you had gotten here and you wonder why.

The rocking chair creaks, signifying that the lady is back and that the story would begin again shortly. The lady glances over the children tht are seated on the floor and smiles.

She once again looks out the window, gazing at things only she could see. With a deep breath, she contiues with her story.

"In a place not so far from where Yugi was, another young male was currently having troubles of his own. Let me tell you about a boy named Yami, for it was his appearence that changed Yugi's life forever..."

How could he let himself be captured! He was smarter than this! HE was a prince! He had the best trainers availible, he was top in all his defence and magic classes! And here he got cougjt by humans! Humans!! For crying out loud!

His magic shouldhave been strong enough to take on humans. And he would have been able to fight back if it wasn't for the fact that they had nets and sleepy needles.

He thrashed as hard as he could in the wierd restraining device they had tied him to. The wierd silver stone bit into his scales as he tried to free himself. His magic wasn't working at the moment; those sleepy needles must have something to do with that.

Currently, he was strapped down to some kind of silver board submerged in funny tasting water; even though it was pitch black he could tell that the box was extremely small. Those land dwelling humans had locked him here; the shock of being completely out of water for the first time had stunned him long enough for them to successfully capture him.

'The moment my magic comes back, they're gonna wish that they had never seen me!' He thought angrily, yet underneath his anger, fear was beginning to grow. He had heard stories about what the humans could do marine life and definately merpeople. Their research facilities and laboratories caused many nightmares by the mere mention of them.

He was so caught up in his thoughts that he almost didn't notice the change in auroras around the box before it was too late. The box suddenly lurched to the side and the steady rocking of the boat ceased.

'Oh no…' Yami dreaded what was happening. 'They're moving me!'

He thrashed as hard as he could in his restraints. The box tipped precariously to the side and Yami heard muffled shouting. Suddenly the box lurched downward and it emited a thud when it was set down and all went quiet. Yami stilled as all motion stopped, and spent the moment of calm going over what had lead to his capture.

Earlier that day, he was swimming in the outskirts of the kigdom's territory, trying to collect his thoughts before another boring lesson, when he heard a distressed call coming from a dolphin. He had sped toward the spound and came across a young dolphin caught in what looked like a fisherman's net. He had helped the dolphin escape but the humans had decided at that specific moment to pull the net up, entangling him and dragging him up to the surface.

The air forcing its way into his lungs had put him into shock, paralyzing his movement. Yet when one of the humans had approched him and touched his fin he snapped out of his shock and fought back. Thrashing and pounding his strong fin into any human that would get to close. As weak as he was out of the water, he was still stronger than the humans, but when they ganged up on him and had about six humans hold him down while one in a white coat thing stuck a needle in his upper arm.

After about ten minutes his struggling died down slightly, yet whatever the needle was supposed to do it obviously didn't do it because they all had frowns on their faces; but it did make him slightly tired and it canceled out all of his magic.

Then they locked him up inside this wierd container which thankfully had water, funny tasting water, and strapped him down to a silver board.

A wierd sound wafted through the box, bringing Yami back to the present, and the box started to vibrate and bump up and down. Yami's crimson eyes narrowed, his momentary musings brought to a complete halt as he frantically tried to figure out what was happening. The entire box suddenly lurched forward, causing his tail to hit againdt the end of the box. He grimanced, it didn't hurt that bad but the restraints were cutting into his scales.

Another bump garred the box and Yami scowled. What were they doing!? Trying to sail through rocks?! He doubted that the humans were stupid enough to sail through coral fields or anything else of that matter, so what was going on?

Yami froze, a suspision forming in his mind as he reached out with his senses to try and feel the ocean's calming presence. His eyes widened when he realized that the ocean was getting smaller, and something that was missing form the regular fell of his surroundings, making him nervous.

That could only mean one thing...The humans had brought him on land!!!

Every marine creature had a fear of being stranded on land. It boded certain death unless they got into water, and Yami was no different.

'No.' Yami went limp in his restraints, defeated by this new factor. Even if he could get out of these restraints and away from the humans, he counldn't survive for very long unless he was in water. He'd never see the ocean again, never see his friends or the palace.

'No...' Yami thought determindly, shaking hiimself out the abyss the situation was creating. 'I will make it back alive, I will not let these humans defeat me,' "I will win this game!"

He then resigned himself to gathering his strength and recollecting his magic, planning all the while for his escape.

Lord help whoever got in his way.
