Sakuraanime2: Enjoy another thrilling chapter of Always Loving You.
"Most people call me Yami so you can call me that," Yami answered smiling. Then Yami asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure," Yuki replied with a curious expression on her face.
"I..."
"HEY YUG!" Joey yelled as his put his arm around Yami's shoulders. Yuki fell off the couch in surprise and landed on the floor.
"Ow!" Yuki said and rubbed her tailbone. Tea came out of nowhere and hit Joey on the head.
"Ow! What did you hit me for?" Joey asked, rubbing the back of his head. Tea helped Yuki get up.
"You made Yuki fall down on the floor." Tea said furiously.
"But…I…" Yuki cut off Joey, "Tea don't make such a big fuss over it, I was just surprised. It's not Joey's fault."
"We now take you live to a Kaiba Corp press conference where gaming company president Seto Kaiba will make a statement," the news reporter said on the TV. Everyone sat down on a couch in the living room.
"It's about time." Tristan said, and everyone nodded.
"We've done extensive testing of our holographic simulation system. Now I can confirm without question, these sightings are unrelated to Kaiba Corp. Our state-of-the-art technology is working perfectly," Kaiba said in the press conference.
"You've heard it here, Seto Kaiba claims his company is not responsible for today's events," said the news reporter.
"He's covering up," Tristan said, "Who else has the technology to project monsters around the world."
"Unless of course those monsters out there aren't holographic projections at all," Tea said with a tint of worry in her voice.
"Actually, I was just thinking the exact same thing Tea," Yami said, "Perhaps the force I felt in the museum some how triggered the emergent of these creatures. Which could mean that these duel monsters are real. I wonder if that's what Rex and Weevil were referring to when we saw them today."
"Wait. Are you telling me we are under attack by actual monsters?" Joey asked.
"I'm not sure what to think right now," Yami replied glumly. All of the sudden, they hear grandpa groaning in pain from downstairs. Yami turned back into Yugi and everyone ran downstairs to see the shop in a mess and Yugi's grandpa on the floor.
"How could this have happened?" Yugi's grandpa asked himself out loud.
"Grandpa!" Yugi yelled and helped his grandpa up. "Are you alright?"
"Hey, what happened Mr. Motou?" Joey asked and he leaned down beside Yugi's grandpa.
"Yugi, they're gone!" Mr. Motou exclaimed in a hoarse voice.
"Who's gone grandpa?" Yugi asked, holding his grandpa.
"Your cards, your strongest cards," Grandpa said.
"The god cards?" Yugi asked.
"Who did this?" Joey asked in anger. Yugi's grandpa thought about it but couldn't remember. "I'm going to find them!" With saying that, Joey ran outside.
"Joey wait!" Yuki shouted but Joey already went out the door. Then they heard Joey say, "Guys, you better come see this."
Yugi helped his grandpa on to a chair and then the gang ran out to see the three Egyptian God cards: Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and The Winged Dragon of Ra.
"What kind of nutcase steals all three Egyptian God Cards and then summon them right in the middle of the city for everyone to see?" Joey asked. Out of the blue, a bright light came in front of the gang, which belonged to a few motorcycles.
"I'm guessing them," Yuki said, hinting to the three guys on the motorcycles.
"You blokes want those cards back?" one of them asked.
"Yeah," Joey replied trying to see them while blocking the light of the motorcycles' headlights.
"They're mine!" Yugi shouted.
"All you have to do is get past us," said the one in the far right with the black helmet.
"But it's only fair to warn you, we've been known to fight dirty," said the one in the middle with the red helmet.
"That's right. So what's it gonna mate?" asked the one in the far left with the blue helmet and an Australian accent.
"Those Egyptian God Cards don't belong to you!" exclaimed Yugi.
"Sorry to disappoint you but they serve a new master now, pharaoh," said the guy in the middle, holding up the cards.
No way! How does he know about the pharaoh? Yugi wondered.
"If you think you've got what it takes to win back your god cards, follow us," the guy in the middle said. "Let's roll." The three bikers turned around and left.
"I guess we have no choice," Yugi said crossly and switched places with Yami. The gang ran after the bikers to a building still in construction. They went to the top floor.
"Figures those grease monkeys would lead us to this dump," Joey said, looking around just like the rest of the gang. Suddenly they heard a creepy evil laughter, everyone looked around and saw no one.
"Who's there? Show yourself!" Yami commanded.
"I'm right above you, pharaoh!" said an evil psychotic voice. The gang looked up and saw nobody because of the darkness of the night.
"Is it one of those biker people?" Yuki asked squinting her eyes to see well in the pitch-black night.
"He's too far away to tell," Tea replied.
"Hey! Why don't you come down here and face us like a man!" Joey exclaimed and then an old man in a black robe appeared and said, "Very well." The old man jumped off the top of a crane and on to a platform.
"I'll make this short. I possess something that you want: the three Egyptian God Cards and you possess something that I desire: your soul," the old wrinkled faced man said. Yami jumped on to the platform.
"Just hold on, those cards do not belong to you and they possess a power far more dangerous than you can ever understand. I suggest you hand them over before someone gets hurt," Yami said in dark voice.
"I'm well aware of their ancient powers and if you want them back, you'll have to face me in a duel," said the old man.
"All right but just don't say I didn't warn you," Yami said and turned on his duel disk.
"Your soul's mine. Now let's duel," the old man said and turned on his black duel disk.
"You're on!" Yami shouted. (Sakuraanime2: I will be writing the whole duel because something is going to happen in the duel which is different from the original duel in the actual show so you might want to read the whole duel.)
"I'll start things off with this…" Yami drew a card, "My Beta the Magnet Warrior, come forth in defense mode." Beta appeared on the field crouching. "Then I place one card face down and end my turn." A card appeared on the field. "The duel's in your hands now."
"I hope this freak doesn't use the god cards cause nothing in the world can stand up to those things," Tea said in concern.
"Don't sweat it Tea. There's a reason why they call Yugi the King of Games the guy almost never loses," Joey said.
"I summon my Marauding Captain," said the old man and the Marauding Captain came on to the field. "And this young man comes with a very special ability, he let's me automatically summon another monster to the field to join him and I choose Shadow Tamer. And I'm afraid the worst his yet to come." The old man chuckled cruelly at Yami's expression of frustration. Then the old man said, "Ready? This card holds more power than all three Egyptian Gods and it's as old as time it self: The Seal of Orichalcos! The magic within this card existed long before the sands of Ancient Egypt were born, pharaoh. Now experience this power for yourself." The old man activated the card and a green glowing circle with ancient markings appeared in the sky and started to land on the field.
"What's going on?" Yami asked.
"You fate is now sealed," the old man said. The circle finally landed on the field and pushed Tea, Joey, and Tristan except for Yuki who was struggling. What's going on? Yuki started emitting a white light blindly everyone.
"What's going on?" Joey shouted.
"I don't know," Tristan said.
"I think Yuki might," Tea replied.
The light started fading away and Yuki was suddenly beside Yami.
"What is going on? No one can been on the field except for the people dueling when the Orichalcos is activated but oh well I guess I'll be getting two souls instead of one," said the old man, grinning evilly.
"What happened?" Yami asked Yuki.
"I don't know," Yuki said, shocked by the event.
"The duel is still going on pharaoh so I suggest you stop chitchatting with your little friend," the old man remarked.
"First tell me what is going on," Yami commanded furiously.
"The seal of orichalcos prevents us exiting and all outsiders from entering its scared boundaries except your friend seems to an exception. When the duel is over only the victor can penetrate the border but the loser or should I say losers can never leave, their soul remains inside the seal. You'll soon see the rules of the outside world no longer apply," explained the old man and smirked evilly. He has that circle thingy on his head. This is the creepiest day of my whole life, Yuki thought, a little freaked out by what just happened.
"Fine but you should know I'm no stranger to ancient magic. Observe my millennium puzzle!" Yami said and activated his puzzle but it didn't work. "What's this?"
"The Orichalcos existed long before your puzzle. Your toy is useless and your victory is hopeless. Sorry but in here the advantage is mine for the Seal of Orichalcos rests on my side of the field thus granting me unmatchable power and strengthening every one of my monsters," The man said and the seal appeared on the foreheads of his two monsters on the field and their attack points were raised.
"Thanks to the seal, my monsters rain supreme. Now Captain attack, destroy his warrior," the man commanded the monsters. His monster destroyed Beta then Yami said, "You've triggered my trap! Go Soul Rope! It allows me to summon a 4-star monster from my deck as long as I'm willing to give up 1000 of my life points in exchange for this new creature."
"There's nothing in your deck that can stop me," said the man in his rough voice.
"Wrong, I have Gamma the Magnet Warrior," Yami said courageously.
"Sorry but you'll have to do better than that if you want to defeat me," The man said.
"He doesn't look sorry," Yuki muttered, crossing her arms. Yami heard the comment and smirked, "I believe it's called sarcasm, Yuki."
"I know that," Yuki said in a whisper, her cheeks turned a light shade of red from embarrassment and lowered her head so Yami couldn't see.
"Is anyone else wondering why Yuki's face is red or am I just seeing things?" Tristan asked while rubbing his shoulder where he got a bruise from the Orichalcos pushing him and the gang.
"Maybe something happened. Too bad we can't hear what they're talking about," Joey said, rubbing his own bruise on his arm.
"I think they should concentrate more on the duel," Tea said wrathfully and Joey and Tristan took a few steps away from her in fear.
"I thought I said enough with the chitchat pharaoh. Let's go back to the duel, I believe it was my turn," said the old man. "I put one card face down, why don't you try again pharaoh?"
"I plan to do more than try," Yami said and drew a card, "Feast your eyes on this card, Alpha the Magnet Warrior." Then Yami summoned the card in attack mode.
"Why thank you. You've activated my trap card, Hidden Soldiers; this card allows me to summon a creature of ultimate darkness. A monster that derives its power from the shadows, Makyura the Destructor and like all my monsters, its strength is enhanced by the Orichalcos," the old man said proudly.
"Well I also have a magic card to activate. Behold, Shallow Grave, it gives us both the power to access any monster we choose from the graveyard and summon it on to the field. And I've chosen Beta the Magnet Warrior and you know what that means. Now I can combine my magnet warriors together to form Valkyrion the Magna Warrior. Since your graveyard is empty you have no monsters to bring back," Yami said and the old man growled in anger. "Now Valkyrion attack." Valkyrion destroyed Marauding Captain and the old man's life points went down to 2760.
"Nice one man!" Tristan shouted.
"Alright Yug!" Joey yelled.
"That caped freak got nothing on you," exclaimed Tea and jumped in joy.
"That was really good," Yuki said smiling to Yami.
"Thank you," replied Yami smiling back.
"Well I must admit I haven't had a challenge like this in quite a while, it's actually quite refreshing. Of course you'll reach the same fate as all of my victims, it's only a matter of time," said the old man grinning.
"Ha! This guy's bluffing Yug! Your Magna warrior 3500 attack points so the only thing that can defeat it is an Egyptian God card," Joey said then realized something…
