Nobody spoke for a couple of minutes as Yugi's big purple eyes widened at Seth's last statement. Darkness in Yosenity? Is this not her Kaa but darkness in her soul? In her heart? Seth's smile widened as he saw Yugi's confusion being sprawled across his face, making Seth look more and more like a mad man. Yugi looked up to Yosenity but she had her back to him. She wasn't admitting that friendly aura that she normally does but instead it was a hateful and sad aura that made Yugi step back a bit. Her face was etched with pain and a loathing Yugi had never seen, even Marik's and the ring spirit's loathing seemed like a temper tantrum compared to Yosenity. Yugi could have sworn he saw fire in Yosenity's now completely dark pink eyes. But as Yugi looked, a golden light surrounded Yosenity's body making her shine.
"Yosenity!" Yugi yelled at her but with no response. It seemed to him that she didn't dare look him full on in the eyes with her own. He could feel her fear of that in his own heart but barely because most of what he was feeling from Yosenity was hatred. But hatred of what?
"You obviously have no idea how much darkness is in her do you Yugi?" asked Seth his smile growing ever wider.
"Uh…" Yugi wasn't sure of what to say, what could he say? He swallowed and then shook his head slightly.
"Would you like me to explain?" Seth asked in a completely polite tone.
Yugi shot him a nervous glance. Why wouldn't Yosenity tell him these things, why did he always have to find them out by the 'bad guys'? Maybe she didn't think that they were necessary. Or maybe she was going to tell him later when she thought the time was right. He didn't know but better to learn now than make the same mistake later. He nodded quickly and waited for Seth's response.
Seth looked over Yugi and his smile disappeared a bit. He rolled his eyes a bit and they landed on Yosenity who seemed to be staring into air just to the right of Seth taking all her angry there and not onto anyone single person. Seth nodded to her and then rolled his head down to look at Yugi.
"Ever since she was given her locket it seemed her life went down hill from there. Her father rejected her more and her brother became so much busier with his studies to be Pharaoh. Plus the fact Mana couldn't play because her magician training was becoming more and more vigorous."
As he talked, the park began to disappear and Yosenity sighed a bit. It seemed she was making everything disappear until they were standing on nothing but blackness. Suddenly Yosenity's golden light burst from around and went shattering in different directions and as the gold light hit a target, it began to run like wet pain down to the ground and below. It was painting out the past. Soon Yugi and Seth were standing on the balcony of the palace watching a lonely 6 year old girl splash her feet in the pond. Seth looked down amused at what Yosenity seemed to be doing and then returned to his story.
"Her brother spent as much time with her as he could and sometimes he even taught Yosenity what he learned in his classes. But of course life didn't improve when Yosenity and Atem lost both their parents that terrible night."
The scene changed from the balcony to the small secret playroom where in the corner Yugi could see Atem cradling his frightened and overwhelmingly sad sister.
"Of course after that Yosenity was sent off to a university in a different country for it was her mothers wish to go and become a wise princess of Egypt to help her brother. Both of the siblings wrote each other every week and Atem even had a special horse rider deliver the messages. Her studies took 2 years and through those two years, Atem had studied everything to become Pharaoh, and so came the night he was to be crowned to be pharaoh and Yosenity was supposed to stay at her university for another year. Yosenity."
Yosenity furrowed her eyebrow and the scene changed from the inside of the playroom to a giant festival at the inside of the throne room. It was obviously the ceremony for the new pharaoh. Yugi saw and abnormally big package being brought before the pharaoh and before he opened it, it burst opened it self. Out popped Yosenity, she hugged her brother, and they were all smiles for the longest time.
"I assume Yosenity told you a bit about life with pharaoh as a brother?"
Yugi nodded and Seth continued.
"Well they lived happily for a years, Yosenity even got her soul monster during those years after her desire to help her brother and Mana fight off dark monsters."
Seth thumbed towards The Magicians Valkyira.
"But it wasn't until Atem's work became more demanding did their relationship begin to be tested. Atem started to neglect his sister and most of his promises to her. Until one night after a few years of this, did Yosenity speak up for herself."
The room changed and Yosenity created another image. The room was cleared of party decorations and the room seemed darker. There was Yosenity now her regular age standing in front of the throne with Atem sitting high above her.
"I want my brother back!" cried the Yosenity in the throne room, "You've changed ever since you became pharaoh and you promised me you wouldn't!"
"Yosenity understand this, I have a bigger duty now than just to my family. I have to protect Egypt."
"I know that Yami, but you don't have to throw me away like I'm a worthless piece of trash."
Atem stood up and shook his head, "now your being ridiculous Nadia. Father raised you better than to ridicule the pharaoh."
"FATHER HATED ME! And you know that!"
"SILENCE!" Atem's voice rang out in the giant room and his voice made Yugi's hair's stand on end. Yosenity went down onto both knees and gulped, she was visibly shaken and she closed her eyes as she heard Atem's footsteps.
"I know our father wasn't the kindest to you Nadia, but he loved you! And I'm just trying to keep this empire a safe place to be."
"I just want my brother back, not this…"
Atem had finally made his way to Yosenity and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Nadia I haven't changed."
Yosenity looked up and got to her feet looking deep into Atem's eyes, "yes you have Atem. You have too changed."
Atem looked angry at Yosenity's answer and curled his hands into fists, "Go finish your studies Nadia. Get out of my sight."
"As you wish Pharaoh Atem." Yosenity Bowed then began walking out towards the tall front doors but before she reached them, Atem spoke.
"Wait!" Yosenity stopped and turned her head slightly to look at him, "Since when did you start calling me Atem?"
Silence………………………….. Then, "Since when did you start calling me Nadia?"
And with that, Yosenity ran from the room.
"And she never returned." Seth said with immense satisfaction, "until she was carried in on a cart wrapped in ropes."
Yugi remembered that dream he had back when he was older. The dream about when Yosenity lost her locket to that Man who wanted riches in the future. He clenched his teeth but didn't have time to think anymore for Seth's voice flooded into his head.
"That was the last thing she said to her brother before her soul and body were separated for millenniums. So during her solitude her soul might as well be in the shadow realm. Darkness, guilt, sadness, loneliness, anger, despairs. All built up inside her over many millenniums but unlike her brother who could control them she couldn't, which made her a perfect target to the dark lord. He fed her darkness and now this is the result. A little girl with unimaginable magical powers fed by her own anger and insecurities. Yugi she could kill you like that." And Seth snapped his fingers.
The field fell silent as the park became clear again. Yugi couldn't think, nor could he move. He was too horrified at what had happened to Yosenity, or Nadia? He turned his head up to her after about a few minutes and spoke.
"Nadia?"
But with hearing her name Yosenity screamed and a card from Yugi's hand came flying onto the field. The book of secret arts. It activated and Yosenity switched her card from defense to attack position. Yugi couldn't stop Yosenity nor could he control his own cards. He began trying to run to Yosenity but she had already begun to start flying towards Seth's sorceress with her newly found attack strength.
"STOP YOSENITY! HIS DOWN CARD!"
But Yugi might as well have been telling a brick wall to move. Yosenity didn't stop and to Yugi's horror, Seth activated his down card. Angel Fallen into Darkness. Yugi didn't know what that card did so he stopped running and began backing away from the monsters on the field. His silent Magician looked at him with concern and moved in front of him as if protecting him. Yugi looked around from his magician and saw that Yosenity's attack hit and the sorceress was destroyed. Seth grimaced but didn't fall to the ground in pain as Yugi had done. He obviously was used to it. But Seth laughed and picked a card from his hand and sent it to the graveyard.
"What are you doing?" Yugi yelled across the field.
"I'm using my trap card. I can send one fairy type monster to the graveyard from my hand in order to summon a dark fairy monster 7 stars or higher."
Yugi's face went pale. A level seven or higher! But Seth didn't waste time soon he was slamming a card down to the field and the wind picked up as the monster appeared. Dark lord Zerato! 2800 attack points!
"YOSENITY GET OUT OF THERE!"
"Kill her." Seth said calmly.
Yosenity's face became frightened as Zerato's blade came down upon her. Yugi yelled and tried to run to her but his magician held him back. Yugi glanced up at him and he could tell that he was hurt for seeing his master in such pain. But as soon as Zerato's blade connected, Yugi closed his eyes as he felt an imaginary sword rip through his own shoulder and through his torso. He refused to shout any more but he couldn't help but double over in pain and worry over Yosenity he had to get her back onto the field.
"But before my turn is over I will set this card and summon this card in defense mode." Two card appeared on the field.
"End turn." Seth said with a smug attitude, "give up Yugi, Yosenity just sealed your fate."
Yugi drew his next card raising his magician to 2500. With his life points down to 1200 and that Zerato on the field, he couldn't take chances. He looked at his drawn card and shook his head.
"You're wrong Seth. This card just sealed your fate." Yugi said with difficulty for pain still coursed through his torso. Seth raised his eyebrow and Yugi played a card with trembling hands.
"Time jump!"
And with the activation of the magic card, his silent magician was raised up to his highest level with 3000 attack points. Yugi smiled but before he could attack he need to do more damage once he destroyed his latest monster. Yugi then used monster reborn to summon Magicians Valkyria back to the field. Yosenity crumpled in a heaped on the floor with her eyes closed. She looked exhausted and his silent magician went over to her side to see if she was ok.
"Silent Magician!"
His magician looked up understandingly and pointed his staff towards Zerato.
"Attack!"
And with that, a ball of red magical energy shot out of the magician's staff and went hurtling towards Zerato. An explosion happened and as the smoke cleared Zerato was no more. Seth's life points dropped to 1800 as silent magician tried to wake Yosenity up.
"You can't win now!" Yugi said but Seth returned it with a shake of his head.
"That's where you're wrong!" Seth activated his magic card and his hunger eyes just became mad. His lips curled back over his teeth and he didn't even seemed affected by the pain of losing a monster.
"Change of Heart!"
Yugi's jaw dropped as Seth pointed at Yosenity's limp figure. Yugi shook his head and ran up to her and his magician took her towards Seth's side of the field and all his magician could do was sigh unhappily.
"NO!"
"To bad Yugi!"
As soon as Yosenity was placed of Seth's field, her eyes snapped open but they were white now. Her Golden glow came back and the wind picked up around her.
"All her dark powers are mine now. But this ends my turn so the only way to win is to attack your closest companion."
Yugi gulped and shook his.
"I can't attack her!"
"Then the next turn I win." Seth held up Dark renewal and dark pendent. Yugi's heart dropped.
In the next turn, he's going to re-summon Zerato and power him up till no card in my deck can beat him! Shit what to I do? I can't attack Yosenity!
But as he looked from Seth to Yosenity's beautiful face, Yugi saw Yosenity turn into Atem. Yugi blinked, sure it was his imagination but Atem didn't go away. He wore the look he wore when they battled that last time, the look of 'it's ok to win' over his face gave Yugi courage.
But I can't hurt your sister Atem!
"Yugi, she will be free to return to you if you help her." Atem's strong voice entered Yugi's head as the illusion began to disappear.
Don't leave, please!
"I'm not leaving. I'm watching and waiting. Now be strong Yugi like I taught you and help her. Don't be afraid."
And with that Atem turned back into Yosenity. Yugi shook his head rubbing his eyes as if not sure if he really just experienced what he did. He stared at Yosenity and then the wind start whipping her hair around as her forehead creased into anger at Yugi, as if wishing she could attack him now. Seth was counting on Yugi's caring for Yosenity to forfeit the duel. Seth knew Yugi couldn't hurt Yosenity.
"Nadia…"
Yosenity's blue eyes seemed to come back for a minute and Yugi swore he saw her smile a bit, but as quickly as it came, it went and Yosenity was back to being brain washed.
Yugi looked up at his magician, who nodded back to him as if understand any decisionhis master made. Yugi then felt Yosenity's heart in his and he could feel her fear and remorse for what she had done.
"I'm going to make it go away Nadia, I promise."
Yosenity's eyes seemed to light up and Yugi pointed at her and his magician tightened his grip on his staff. Seth's eyes seemed to lose their look and began to change into there dull look again. Defeat was etched across his face and he shrugged ever so slight.
"Attack!"
Silent Magician sped forward with his staff out stretch toward Yosenity. She raised her own staff up and charge at the Silent Magician ready for the battle.
"I guess I underestimated your skills little Yugi. If you keep this up, maybe you'll be able to regain what you lost as well."
And with that, Seth disappeared into the darkness of the trees as the silent Magician's magic attack hit Yosenity's stomach. Yugi felt immense pain in his own stomach but he couldn't even begin to imagine the pain Yosenity was feeling. Yugi grabbed onto the park bench as he felt Yosenity return but with her return came more pain from her. She seemed to be in critical condition if she could be in critical condition and Yugi just kneeled on the ground trying to breathe normally. His silent Magician looked up at him and gave him the thumbs up and as he disappeared, Yugi swore he saw his other self give him the thumbs up as well.
