All right. Here's chapter number 4. It's where Kyle and Yugi will continue their duel, and I've also just recently thought up a backstory for Kyle. And there's something I've been wondering in Yugioh for a long time. I'm wondering if Yugi looks like the pharaoh because he's a descendant or something. Anyway, Kyle's backstory isn't gonna be a pleasant one, but then again, not all backstories are good. And I think this is where their duel finishes, I'm not sure yet. I may have said that in the last chapter, but now there could be more I wanna add. So let's just move on, shall we?


"Black Tyranno, bypass Yugi's monsters and attack his life points!" Kyle yelled to his black T-Rex.

"You haven't won this duel yet, Kyle. I still have one card faced down. Reveal Nutrient Z!" Yugi flipped a trap card, with a vial containing a green liquid, and a 4000 number in purple writing. "This trap cards boosts my life points by 4000 when I'm about to take 2000 or more life point damage."

And then Black Tyranno attacked Yugi.

Kyle: 2600 LP Yugi: 4800 LP.

"Good move, Yugi. I was expecting something like that. But it's gonna take more than that to beat me."

"Trust me, Kyle. You haven't seen anything yet. Plus you have no card left in your hand."

"I'm aware of that. That's why I'm ending my turn."

"Then it's my turn again." Yugi drew. "Yes! Now I activate Black Luster Ritual." Then two big, black pots, with fire shooting out, along with a big shield, with two crossed swords came right out of the ground. "Next I'll sacrifice my Dark Magician and my Watapon." And then above one of the pots, a small and pink fluff ball, with big, blue eyes appeared, while Dark Magician went over to the other pot. "I sacrifice these two monsters to summon an even stronger monster." The two monsters went down into the pots, then a bigger one appeared in the middle. "Meet Black Luster Soldier!" And fire shot out of the bigger pit, and a new monster raised from it.

Black Luster Soldier: ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500.

The monster wore a blue and yellow suit of armor, wielding a blue and yellow shield, and a curved bladed sword.

"Another one of your best cards I take it, Yugi?" asked Kyle.

"Yup. Now you're gonna see how strong he really is. Black Luster Soldier, destroy Black Tyranno!"

The soldier jumped at the black T-Rex, and slashed it with his sword, and just as he did, Black Tyranno burst into pixels.

Kyle: 2200 LP Yugi: 4800 LP.

"Had enough, Kyle?"

"Never."

"Glad to see you don't back down."

"A good duelist never backs down. He or she keeps fighting until the end."

"That's the spirit. Your move, Kyle."

Kyle drew his card. "Yes. This oughta buy me some time. I play Swords of Revealing Light!"

Then hundreds of glowing silver swords shot from the air, covering Yugi's side of the field.

"This card buys me three turns. Preventing you from attacking with any of your monsters."

"Not bad, Kyle. Not bad at all," Yugi complimented.

"Thanks. So who taught you to duel so great? Your parents?"

"No. My grandpa. I never met my parents. My gramps said that they had left me at his place when I was just a baby. He taught me everything he knows about Duel Monsters. He taught me the heart of the cards. What about you, did your parents ever teach you to play."

Kyle just put his head down and shook it, no. "It's something I picked up in my childhood. It was the only fun I ever had as a kid."

"What do you mean?" Yugi asked.

"I've never told anyone this, but I think it's time someone knows what happened in my life. I was born in London, and my whole life, while I was there, my parents had constantly prepared me to be a business man."

"Your name wasn't Kyle Renegade then was it."

"Not before, no. Back then, my name was Jonathan Edison Wilfred Kingston...Jr." Kyle then had a flashback.


In the town of London, at a big, light gray brick mansion. Inside there were two people and their son.

His father was in his late 20s. He has combed flat, dark brown hair, he had dark green eyes, and was wearing a suit with a dark blue shirt, white pants, and black shoes.

His mother had long, black hair, the same coral blue eyes as Kyle, she wore a long, dark purple dress, with gold stitching in it, and white lining.

Young Kyle, or Jonathan, was at the age of 9, he had the same dark brown hair as his father, he wore an emerald green, long sleeved dress shirt, white pants and black shoes, like his father, and he was carrying a few big books about being a business man.

"My parents had control of most days in my life. I spent constant hours doing what they wanted. We were rich, because my father owned his own business. He always wanted me to follow in his footsteps, and take over his business. But it wasn't what I wanted. Not like they cared, because they never asked me what I wanted."

Young Kyle/Jonathan was sitting in a room at a desk, going over all those books, memorizing everything.

"I had very little free time. The time I did have, I used it the best I could. I'd been given 500 bucks in spending money. With that money, I discovered Duel Monsters. I bought up as many cards as I could get, and I started a great collection. And from then on, I used all my free time to practice playing Duel Monsters."

Kyle had hundreds of cards on the floor of his room, which he started to pack into a few briefcases.

"The moment I started playing, I realized that I had a gift. I was actually good at something. I was practically unbeatable since my first duel. I was fascinated with it, and that was all I ever wanted to do, was to play Duel Monsters for a living. Unfortunately my parents didn't like it. My father saw that I was starting to spend too much time with it."

One night at their mansion, Kyle's father had him sitting at a chair while he and his mother talked with him.

"You want me to what?" asked young Kyle with an English accent.

"Son, I've seen how much time you're spending with this Duel Monsters card game. I know you like it, but it isn't good for your plans."

"Like it? Father, I don't like that game. I love it. It's what I want to do in life. I want to play that game for a living. I want to compete in tournaments!"

"I know, son. But we've already decided what your future has in store. When the time comes, you're going to inherit my company. It'll all be yours one day."

"I don't know, Father. I don't know if it's for me."

"Of course it is. You're my son, and I know it will be a good part on your life in the future. It's what you've been expecting."

"No, it's what you've been expecting!" Kyle raised his voice. "My whole life you've been working me constantly, just so I can inherit your company. I don't have any fun except with Duel Monsters. I've never had anything better to happen in my life. All I have that I like is Duel Monsters My whole life is about you making me do all this work for your company, and I hate it! It's always what you want, never what I want! Have you and Mother ever asked me what I want, Father?"

"This company had been in the Kingston family for 20 years, boy. And I'm not about to let this all go to waste because you don't want to take over!" His father started to raise his voice.

"Father, I-" Kyle tried to say but his father stopped him.

"No, son! You are going to inherit my company, whether you like it or not! You are going to devote more time to doing this, and no more wasting your time with that ridiculous card game!"

"But-"

"No, buts! First thing tomorrow, I want you to get rid of all those ridiculous playing cards and get your senses straight. Now go to bed!"

Kyle raised from the chair angrily and left the room.

Up in his room, Kyle pushed the doors open and slammed them behind him. He walked over to the desk with his books, and he knocked the books off.

"After my father tried to make me get rid of what I loved most, I'd had it. I decided to take what money I had left and leave home."

Kyle packed up all his cards and his clothes and then he snuck out of the house and ran off.

"To make money I started to compete in Duel Monsters tournaments for a living, and I still do to this day."

Kyle was at a stadium, playing in a tournament, using a duel disk.

He was at the age of 17, he had his old hairdo, but it was still brown. And he wore more casual clothes. He wore a short sleeved black t-shirt, blue jeans, and gray tennis shoes. And he no longer talked in an English accent, his accent was now American.

His opponent had long, ear length black hair, a black and white striped shirt, blue jeans, and red tennis shoes.

Kyle had Great White in defense mode, while his opponent had Jinzo and Robotic Knight.

"I used my gift to make a living. It wasn't easy but I managed."

"Now I play Change of Heart. With this, I'll take your Jinzo!" Kyle took his opponents monster. "Now I'll sacrifice your Jinzo and my Great White, and summon Black Tyranno!"

The same black dinosaur Kyle summoned appeared in the duel he played in the past.

"With your only monster, Robotic Knight in defense mode, I can bypass your monster and attack you directly. Go, Black Tyranno. End this duel!"

Black Tyranno attacked his opponent, winning him the duel.

"But I also started to realize that I still looked too much like I used to. And I knew that if I kept this look, my parents would find me for sure. I wasn't going back, so I had to change my look."

In a very small apartment, with a TV in a small living room, a futon in front of the TV, and in a small bathroom, Kyle was in there with a bunch of haircut equipment and hair dye.

He trimmed his long hair, that had been combed flat to look like it was short, and then he took silver hair dye to it, and restyled it. And he took on his current look.

"From then on I stopped using the name Jonathan Kingston, and I was able to get into tournaments with a new name. I called myself the first thing that I could think of. Kyle Renegade. Unfortunately, that disguise wasn't to last. Though I looked a lot different, my parents still managed to find me."

After winning a tournament's duel, Kyle was walking down the hallway, leaving the place, holding a gold trophy.

"Son, is that really you?"

Kyle turned behind and saw both his parents, wearing an all white suit, and a long, green dress. And most of their hair had turned gray.

"Mother, Father?"

"Look at you, son," said his father. "Eighteen years old, and doing the best he can for a living."

How did you find me?"

"I'd recognize my son's eyes anytime. We missed you so much." His father came up and threw his arms around him.

"I know. I missed you both, too. I'm sorry I left. I just couldn't-"

"No, son. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said what I did to you. You were right. Your mother and I have been controlling your life, and it's not right. What kind of father was I? Telling you to give up what you loved most in life. I didn't realize that this game is a part of who you are."

"I told you I was good at it."

"We miss you, Jonathan," said his mother. "Everyone back home misses you."

"And I miss them all, too," Kyle looked down at the trophy he won. "I know you're gonna ask. I'm sorry. I can't go back. I've got too much planned ahead already, and I can't give up on that."

"Where will you go?" asked his father.

"I don't know. All I have in life is duel monsters, and I barely get around with that."

"We figured you might say that, Jonathan," his father spoke again.

"Kyle."

"Pardon?" his mother asked.

"Since I left home I've been using a different name. I've called myself Kyle Renegade."

"Anyhow. We got you this, just in case you were confused." His father reached into his back pocket and pulled out a rectangle shaped piece of paper, then he held it out to Kyle.

Kyle set his trophy down and he took it. "A plane ticket?"

"To Domino City," his father explained. "Duel Monsters is most famous there. If you're looking to start a new life, try it there."

"I've been there. I went there for the Battle City tournament two months ago."

"We also have one more thing for you," His mother spoke and handed him a white envelope.

"What's this?" Kyle asked again.

"It's a check for 800,000 dollars. It should be enough to help you start a new life."

Kyle smiled sadly at his parents then hugged them both. "Thank you." He said tearfully.

"We both love you so much...Kyle," his father used his new name. "If you'd like, we can make that your legal name."

"I'd like that."

"Then let's get it done. We'll go back to London and have your name changed."


And Kyle returned to reality.

"So that's how I came to be. I've lived here in Domino City for four years. I've done nothing but played Duel Monsters for a living. And it's something I'll never give up."

"I'm sorry you had it so rough, Kyle," said Yugi. "I had no idea."

"Well, now you do. I've completely converted and I completely changed myself. It may not have been such a good idea to leave home in the first place, but it was all I could think of. I was done having my life lived for me. After I left home, I took an oath. I vowed I'd never take orders from anyone but me."

"So these few years since you've lived in Domino City, you've done all these things just to try and get money?" asked Yugi.

"Yep. Just trying to get on in life. Now let's get on with this duel. Make your move!"

"Right," Yugi replied drawing his card. "Let's see. Nothing in my hand can destroy his Swords of Revealing Light." Yugi thought to himself. "But maybe this'll come in handy. I'll just keep it faced down for now." And Yugi played a card faced down. "I'll leave that faced down on the field, and end my turn."

Kyle drew and looked down to his card. "Now I summon my Cyber Falcon in defense mode."

Cyber Falcon: ATK: 1400 DEF: 1200.

And then a white, mechanical falcon, with glowing red eyes appeared in defense mode.

"That's all I can do, so I'll stop there."

"By summoning a monster, you just activated my faced down card. Dark Renewal!"

A trap card flipped up and then a red coffin, with a blue orb in the middle, and a light purple cross appeared from the card.

The coffin opened, and a red electrical beam shot at Cyber Falcon, then one shot at Big Shield Gardna.

"Now I'll take both of our monsters, and sacrifice them so I can return a spellcaster monster from my graveyard."

"Let me guess, Dark Magician?"

"Close. I'll return my Dark Magician Girl!"

The two monsters got pulled into the coffin, and then it closed up after they were in. A second later, it opened back up, and Dark Magician Girl came out.

"Now I guess it's my turn again." Yugi drew his card, then he smiled. "Now I'll play Pot of Avarice." Yugi held up the card. Its design was a purple faced figure, with its tongue sticking out, and gems all around it. "This card lets me take five monsters from my graveyard and shuffle them back in my deck. And I think I'll take these: Beta, Gamma, Dark Magician, Watapon, and Big Shield Gardna." Yugi put those cards in his deck and shuffled. "Then I can draw two more cards." Yugi did so. "Now I'll activate Dark Magic Curtain.

A skeleton wearing a long, red curtain as a robe appeared on the field.

"Now by paying half of my life points, I can summon my Dark Magician straight from my deck.

Kyle: 2200 LP Yugi: 2400 LP.

The skeleton pulled back the curtain, and a bright light flashed, and when it faded, Dark Magician came out.

"Unfortunately I'm gonna be parting with my three monsters."

"What do you mean?" asked Kyle.

"I'm sacrificing them all to summon something even stronger."

"Wait a minute. Are you about to bring on what I think you are?!" Kyle said in disbelief.

"Sounds like you're starting to get it, Kyle. I sacrifice Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, and Buster Blader, to summon forth my Egyptian God card. The all powerful Winged Dragon of Ra!"

The three monster all started to glow yellow, then they set on fire, and went up into the skies, which got covered with dark clouds, and then a bright, golden light shined down. From that light, a big, glowing yellow sphere was floating down.

"Oops I almost forgot to speak the ancient chant. Ra can't be summoned unless you speak the chant on this card." Yugi held up the card with the big, yellow dragon, and on the card, there were strange inscriptions written on it.

"Chant?" Kyle asked curiously.

"That's right. See with all the God cards, there's only one of each, and they're all in my deck. Now it's time to unlock Ra's powers from deep within."

"No!" yelled Kyle.

"Almighty protector of the sun and sky, I beg of thee please head my cry," Yugi spoke and the sphere started to transform. "Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight." The sphere started to take the figure of the winged dragon, and was enlarging in a great size. "I beseech thee grace our humble game, but first I shall call out thy name. Winged Dragon of Ra!"

The Winged Dragon of Ra: ATK: 7500 DEF: 6300.

And the dragon of the Sun God Ra stood behind Yugi. A giant, yellow dragon, with red eyes, and a blue orb on its forehead stood tall.

"Isn't that the card that belonged to Marik?" asked Serenity.

"Yep. And now it's Yugi's card," Joey answered. "He has the most powerful card in the game, and now Kyle there is up against Ra. It's gonna be hard for him to pull through dis one."

"You may have the mighty Winged Dragon of Ra, but my Swords of Revealing Light doesn't wear off until the end of your next turn. So I'm safe."

"Then I end it there. Your move, Kyle."

Kyle drew his new card. "Now I activate Card of Sanctity!" Kyle raised the card that Kaiba used in their duel. "Now we can both refresh our hands with 6 cards."

And both Kyle and Yugi drew until they both held 6 cards.

"Now I summon my Jellyfish in defense mode."

Jellyfish: ATK: 1200 DEF: 1500.

Then a new monster appeared in defense mode on Kyle's side. A big, blue jellyfish, with yellow veins on top, and purple tentacles.

"I'll also play this card. Painful Choice." Kyle raised a magic card with a bunch of people standing before another person. "This lets me take 5 cards from my deck, then you pick one of them, and the one you pick, gets added to my hand, while the other four go to the graveyard." Kyle pulled out 5 cards then they got revealed in front of Yug in holographic forms.

The cards were 7 Colored Fish, Hinotama Soul, Uraby, Neo the Magic Swordsman, and Deepsea Warrior.

"I'll let you keep your Deepsea Warrior," Yugi made his choice.

And then Kyle added one card to his hand, the tossed out the rest.

"With that I'll put one card faced down and end my turn."

And a faced down magic/trap card appeared faced down.

Yugi began his turn. "I'll start off by playing my Double Spell magic card," Yugi said holding a card with two magicians casting spells. One had a ball of blue magic in its hand, and it collided with the other magician's which was red, and yellow lighting coming out of them. "I'll begin by tossing out a magic card in my hand, and then I can take another magic card from your graveyard, and use it as my own. So I'll toss out Magical Hats." Yugi tossed out a magic card with four black hats, with yellow question marks on them. And then a card shot from Kyle's graveyard towards Yugi who caught it. "Go, Mystical Space Typhoon!"

And the same winds from before blew and all of the Swords of Revealing Light shattered.

"I used this card to destroy your Swords of Revealing Light magic card. With that out of the way, I'm free to attack. Winged Dragon of Ra, ignite your Blaze Cannon!"

Ra then charged up an orange fiery blast from its mouth, and then fired at Great White, blowing it off the field.

"Lucky my monster was in defense mode, so I didn't lose any life points," Kyle stated.

"Your turn, Kyle."

"So Ra was summoned to the field."

Everyone looked to see Kaiba and Mokuba coming from behind Kyle.

"Kaiba?" said Yugi.

"What're you doing here, rich boy?" asked Joey.

"I came to see who Yugi was dueling, Wheeler. I know that he's got all three Egyptian God cards, so when I found out that Ra had been played, I wanted to see who was up against him. And what a surprise. The professional that almost beat me."

"I may be up against Ra, but I'm not afraid. I'm gonna fight this to the end. I summon Dark Assailant in defense mode. And then I'll put another card faced down on the field."

Dark Assailant: ATK and DEF: 1200.

A gray skeleton, with a red eye on its forehead, wearing a green vest, blue sleeves, darker green pants, orange boots, purple gloves, and two swords on its back appeared.

"Back to you, Yugi."

Yugi began his next turn. "It's my Gazelle." Yugi said in his mind. "Let's see. Kyle's Dark Assailant has only 1200 defense points, while Gazelle has 1500 attack points. If I use Gazelle to attack his monster, then I can use Ra to finish him off. The only thing that concerns me is his faced down cards. One mistake might cost me the duel. But then again, I'm just playing a friendly game for once. I'm gonna take my chance and strike!" Yugi looked back to Kyle. "I summon Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts in attack mode!"

Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts: ATK: 1500 DEF: 1200.

A dark brown lion with yellow eyes, a black mane, and a white horn came out.

"Gazelle attack his Dark Assailant!"

Gazelle leapt towards Dark Assailant, preparing to destroy it,

"You won't beat me that easily, Yugi. I knew you would make a move like that, why else do you think I placed this faced down. Reveal Changing Destiny!"

A trap card revealed with a boy standing in front of two doors, one red, one blue, in a pitch black place.

Gazelle stopped, went back over to Yugi's side of the field, and went into defense mode.

"What just happened?" Yugi asked.

"Thanks to my Changing Destiny trap card, Gazelle is not in defense mode, and can't be switched. But that's not all." And then those red and blue doors appeared in front of Yugi.

"What's this?" Yugi asked again.

"Now you have to pick one of these doors. See both of these doors have a different effect. One contains a gift for me, that could really be of help right now. The other contains a curse, that can do damage to you. It's good for me either way. The door you pick will unleash that power. But it's unknown to you which is which. It's all a game of chance, Yugi. So go ahead. Pick a door. Red or blue? Your pick."

Yugi looked from the blue door on the left, to the red one on the right.

"Come on, Yugi. I don't have all day. Pick a door," Kyle said impatiently.

"Okay. I pick the blue one."

The blue door opened while the red one disappeared.

After opening, the door let out a light green mist, which covered around Yugi's Gazelle, then went over to Kyle.

"You've let out the gift."

"What's the gift do, Kyle?"

"Now half of Gazelle's attack points are added to my life points."

Kyle: 2950 LP Yugi: 2400 LP.

After Kyle's life points were restored the door disappeared.

"I may not have been able to use Gazelle to destroy Dark Assailant, but I still have Ra on the field. Winged Dragon of Ra, attack Dark Assailant!"

Ra ignited his Blaze Cannon again then fired at the Dark Assailant, destroying it.

"If you're done there, then I'll make my next move." Kyle drew his card which was none other than Five Headed Dragon. "Excellent. Now I play another one of my faced down cards, Backup Soldier." Another trap card revealed with three soldiers standing in an orange background, with yellow skin. "If I have 5 or more monsters in my graveyard, I can return three of them to my hand. So I'll take these: Cyber Falcon, Hinotama Soul, and Uraby. Next I'll play my last faced down card. Dragon Revival Ritual!" Kyle's ritual card flipped up. "Now I'll fuse the monsters I brought back from the graveyard, along with these two: Deepsea Warrior, and Crass Clown." Kyle held two more cards out.

Then the five monsters all appeared on the field, and then started to glow green.

"Impossible. He actually succeeded!" Yugi said to himself.

The five, glowing green monsters all went behind Kyle and burst into an even brighter green light. From the green light, arose the Five Headed Dragon.

"I take it apart from me using this against Kaiba, you've seen this card before?" Kyle asked.

"Multiple times," Yugi replied.

"Well, now you're up against it again. And you also know what happens."

Five Headed Dragon's five heads all roared loudly, creating heavy winds, which destroyed Yug's Gazelle.

"Your dragon's effect won't work on Ra. You may have your Five Headed Dragon, Kyle, but I still have Ra on the field."

"Well, then I plan to take down Ra, using only my Five Headed Dragon."

"You can't be serious, Kyle!" Kaiba spoke out.

"I've never been more serious. I'm gonna take down Ra, or fail trying my hardest."


Ok, I'm gonna stop it there. Next chapter for sure is where the duel will end. It's Five Headed Dragon against the Winged Dragon of Ra. Two all powerful monsters. In the next chapter, will Kyle be able to defeat Ra with his own Dragon, or will Yugi destroy Kyle's dragon and win the duel? Only one way to find out, and that's wait till next time. And how did you like Kyle's backstory? I'd only just thought it up as I was going along through the story. Every part just came to me. Please read, review, and enjoy.
