Light of the Lost Chapter 7: Reunion! The Defeat of the False One Part 1
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, Yugi would be dating the Dark Magician Girl. Yeah.
(chapter start)
As the two Duelists, Rapael and Yugi, left Kaiba Land, another figure approached after having an unusual Beginning to her day. This particular figure's name was Yoko Ankoku Mouto; Yugi's cousin on his father's side. (Sorry Egypt, but sister didn't seem to fit the situation here.) She had arrived after gaining one of the infamous Egyptian God cards. Not to mention it happened after a very interesting vision which caused her to look for her Dueling relative. This vision, of course was not at all a normal thing in this girl's life.
Flashback Start
It was just half passed 4:00PM when 16-year-old Yoko made it home after a day of school, and schooling her friends in duel monsters. She always prided herself in her Cyber Dragon Deck, knowing its contents to be as rare as anything Seto Kaiba could dish out in a duel. Yet, despite her life, pranking kids at school, and winning all state, even regional tournaments, she always wanted to head for Japan to see her Cousin Yugi, who funny enough was the current world champ. On this particular day, she decided to take a quick nap before heading down to the store for supplies as her mother had asked since she'd be out on business. All in all, she felt she wanted something exciting to happen for once. As she put her head down on the pillow, she would certainly find out just what could come of such thinking.
Yoko soon found herself in a purplish colored plain with the huge form of Slifer the Sky Dragon looking down upon her. Normal people when faced with this kind of thing would be scared or shocked. She, true to her character said, "COOL! Now that's what I call a dragon!" Needless to say, Slifer once again showed, that even god monsters can fall on their faces in frustration at times.
"Greetings young Yoko, I take it you know my identity?" the Egyptian dragon asked. "DUH! You're one of Yugi's god cards, Slifer right? Man this is too great! And here I was thinking I'd never get to see a god monster up close and personal. WOW!" was the response from the obviously happy duelist.
"I'm afraid that the news I bring to you is not so good," Slifer lamented as he explained what Yugi has had to endure this past time. As he came to the part of Yugi being the true Pharoah and needing help, she interupted in a cold voice.
"That bastard of a mummy reject is going to feel pain. And if those dark freaks want a piece of my cousin, then they can kiss my shinny metal ASS!" Slifer merely looked at the girl as though she needed to be put down. "Uh, it's one of my favorite quotes from a TV show I watch that I say when I'm really pissed. I kinda like to imitate Bender. Eh, hehe." Once again, Slifer wondered if dealing with such crazy mortals was really going to help matters, or just make them worse.
"Right, then," Slifer said still a little concious of the girls last statement. "Anyway, since the gods have been freed from the false Pharoah's power, we need powerful duelists to aid us in protecting and helping young Yugi."
That was as far as he gor before the young girl latched onto his tail saying, "You got yourself a partner!" As if the god thought her...whatever she had was contagious, he transported her back to her world to wake up, wondering what kind of horrors that kid would put him through in the end. As Yoko woke up, she looked at her deck seeing her new gods card sitting at the bottom. But she wouldn't abuse such power just for fun while on a mission...right?
Oh well, at least she was bored no longer.
Flashback end
That had been 12 hours ago, after which, she hopped the nearest fight for Domino Japan and sought Raphael's place. After questioning the servants, she learned they'd gone to Kaiba Land and followed and caught up just in time to see them exit. What happens next should be no surprise, right.
"YUGI!" called a fast moving human torpedo, which was streaming toward our wayward duelist. At least Raphael had enough sense to stand a fair distance away as said projectile pulled it's intended target into a major glomp.
"I..I..it's g..gr..grea..t t.. s..see you too, Y..yo..ko..-chan," wheezed little Yugi as he was rapidly being strangled by his cousin's standard hello glomp, 50 percent strength.
"Yugi-kun!" the girl beamed at her beloved cousin as his face regained some color, " It's been too long! Though time odviously left someone short-handed," She added with a giggle.
'And here come the short jokes,' Yugi thought as he saw his weird relative look him up and down, 'next come the comments on fashion.'
"Oh Yugi! This outfit just doesn't work with your frame, and what's with the bedhead, I've told you for years to let it down. It just doen't do to…"
"…Look like a migit porcupine at age 16. I know, I know," Yugi seemlessly filled in his age as she normally did about his style only ever changing his age with the same argument for years.
"Humf!" the girl pouted with her bottem lip quivering in an invincible puppy dog pout that always seemed impossible for any human to pull off. "Yugi," she whimpered," is that all you have to say, even after I traveled all this way just to see you?" The tears at the corner of her eyes were a nice touch as well. Needless to
say Yugi nearly crumbled at the sight that only his cousins antics could possibly cause. "Plus, I have a surprise friend to show you," she added as she whipped out a card we all know and love.
"SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON!" Yugi exclaimed with enough force to put most opera singers to shame.
"Wow, Yugi," Raphael said in a monotone as he massaged his ears, "couldn't have cranked up the decibel more? I think a few of the Americans and British missed that." Needless to say,
Yugi had a neon blush after the comment but still had to ask.
"Yoko, how did you get Slifer?" Yugi asked.
"I got the card after he said you were the real Pharaoh and I had to help you against a new enemy," the girl responded with a blinding smile. As they processed this info, a familiar group of voices drifted their way.
"So I says tahim, git of my doughnut yah rarehunta freak," this comment said by a bad New York accented kid whom we all know as Joey Wheeler. As a matter of fact, the entire gang seemed to turn the corner, happening upon the reunion. Silence rained
as old faces met for the first time in a while.
Yoko's expression turned cold. Raphael adopted a scowl he wore in contempt of the Pharoah and his groupies. Yugi, strangely enough, seemed almost unphased, if you ignored his fist currling so tight, blood started to flow.
"Yugi?" an uncertain Tea asked as she stepped forward from the group. Yugi stepped back in response as his cousin moved between them.
"What do you guys want?! Haven't you hurt my cousin enough?!" said Yoko in a voiced that promised tortures the likes of which made the Shadow Realm look like paradise by comparison.
The others seemed contemplative as Joey spied something in Yoko's hand. "HEY, wha are you doin' with Slifer?" he demanded as he recognized that card.
"Not the you assholes deserve to know, but for your information, I was chosen to use to and protect Yugi. Now that that ancient fossils power over the gods is broken, I and 2 others will be gifted with their power and charged to guard the true Pharaoh behind me, she said, more and a hint of steel in her voice.
"Yugi? Pharoah? Is this some kind of joke?" Called Tristen as he walked up to the front of the pack.
WHAM!
Tristan's comment earned him a one way ticket into the nearest wall, courtesy of Raphael.
"Any one else want to crack a whitty remark," he said daring any to speak out.
"I don't know what this is all about," Yami said in his usual tone," but only I can use a god card properly, now stop this nonsense and hand it over."
Yoko began to chuckle darkly," You want my card, you'll have to duel me for it. If I win, you assholes must stay out of our lives. And just to be sporting, I won't even use my god card in my deck."
This did little but make the ancient spirit-made-flesh cock his normal grin in place. "Very well, the winner walks
away with a god, but remember who you've just challenged," the cocky bastard said clicking his disk into place.
Just as Yoko was about to click her disk too, Yugi handed her a card. "For luck, Yoko," he said smiling at his cousin. "No big Yugi-kun," she said with a shrug and a shuffle," this guy's nothing but a dried up has-been compared to me." With no more delay, both players drew their cards and called out," DUEL!"
4000 Yoko
4000 Yami
"You're first, you ancient relic," said Yoko as she waited for Yami to begin.
"Alright, you were warned," said the former ruler of Egypt. "I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior, in attack mode (1400Atk/1700Def). I'll also set one card facedown, your move."
Yoko had a stern look on her face that not even Kaiba could use on his best(worst) day. "My move, and it starts with Mystical Space Typhoon, destroying your set card." This followed with the loss of Magic Cylinders for Yami. " Next I'll summon one of my favorite monsters, Cyber Dragon! In attack mode!
(2100Atk/1600Def) A monster mechanical dragon with no arms or legs appeared on the field.
"Wait," Joey called," You need to sacrifice a monster to summon a level 5 monster!"
"Not my Cyber Dragon," Yoko informed. "As long as my
enemy has one monster and I have none, I can special summon it to the field right away. Moving right along, I'll play cost down next, and discard another Cyber Dragon, so I can summon yet another to the field." That said, another monster like the first appeared. Both having a hungry look in their red metal eyes.
Alpha seemed to know it's impending doom as it started to whine and shiver. "Now! Cyber Dragon #1 attack Alpha with Strident Blast!" This caused the dragon to destroy the warrior with a beam of concentrated light.
4000 Yoko
3300 Yami
"I'm not done yet, next up is my second for a direct attack!" The next the charged, throwing Yami clear off his feet from the impact.
4000 Yoko
1200 Yami
"Next, I'll play Polymerization, to fuse them together to form, Cyber Twin
Dragon!" (2800Atk/1800Def) This new fusions roar made the entire old gang feel like steel was scraped on their bones. "I'll also set 1 down card, your turn." Yoko finished in no uncertain terms.
This seemed to overwhelm Yugi's former dark half, as he was staring down not just an angry duelist, a monster that had power to rival a Blue Eyes. Yet, both players knew this game was just getting started.
