Chapter 11
The destiny someone chooses
Disclaimer: I don't own yugioh 5D's blah blah…
"They say destiny is something that cannot be changed in someone's life, something that no matter what you do, it will come to you.
Can you really 'choose' paths? If so…I want to know the way…"
And so, the day of the next round in fortune cup 2 comes and it's a match between Yusei and Me. Aki faces some unknown kid, if she wins, either me or Yusei will have to face her. Well let's both do our best.
We all are waiting to arrive in the stadium…waiting in that awesome truck…and guess what, we're in the back of it, while Yusei has his pretty time driving, we have to sit back here!
…Seriously get a car.
Rua: "hey Sean…"
Sean: "yea?"
Rua: "Good luck"
Sean: "whoa, you're too friendly today…something's fishy"
Rua : "nah just good luck…I'm telling you cause you will lose anyway"
Sean: "YOU FUCKEN BRAT!"
Aki: "shut up you two…"
Sean: *whispers to Rua's ears* "You know what? I think she secretly hates us all"
Rua: "and you more than everyone"
Sean: "I think I can't disagree"
Aki: "when you whisper try to be more quiet…I can hear everything"
Sean: "What the Fu—how come I'm always owned?"
And so we arrive first match is me vs Yusei, then aki vs some unknown kid.
Yusei " All right, go get ready, match starts in 1 hour"
Sean: "YUSH!"
Rua: "I'm going with him"
And so we go to the waiting room, there's this annoying music, oh, so annoying
Sean: "hmm alright, Nephthys or Dark Nephthys…which one should I add?
Rua : "both, you'll need them, Yusei has a tendency to destroy monsters by using card effects amd increasing the attack of monsters…and don't forget his stardust"
Sean: "yeah..indeed stardust is troublesome…only way to beat stardust is to surpass his attack power"
Rua: "Just use some boost spell and you should be fine…take this too"
Sean: " metalmorph.."
Rua: "use it in the duel…may come in handy"
Sean: "heh…thanks"
That bell-like thing ringed…I feel like I'm in school…come to think of it…I don't remember ever attending school…or…I don't remember anything past those two years…
Sean: "ok time to go"
As rua goes to the spectator's seats he turns his head
Rua: "yea…now go out there and win"
Sean: "YUSH!"
MC: "EVERYBODY LISTEN!...i haven't used that phrase in ages…ANYWAY HERE IS THE SEMIFINAL ROUND. YUSEI FUDO VS SEAN PARAGON AND AKI IZAYOI VS JOHNNY KIRIGO"
Yusei: "this is really loud"
Sean : "FUCKEN TURN OFF THE CAPS!"
MC: " NOW LET THE FIRST DUEL BEGIN!"
Life points Yusei /Sean: 4000/4000
Sean: "I'll STA—I mean I'll start
Summon vorse Raider in Attack potition! Next I'll set two cards and end my turn"
Yusei's Turn
"summon bolt hedgehog in defense mode and set a card, turn end"
Sean's turn
Sean: "That was short…alright I summon archfiend solder and attack your bolt hedgehog with him"
Bolt hedgehog destroyed
"Next I attack with vorse raider directly"
The attack his , just like that
"This is really is…sonething's wrong…either he had a really bad draw or he's doing something…"
Yusei was calm, as if nothing bad happened.
Sean: "…turn end
Yusei's turn Life points: Yusei/Sean 2100/4000
Yusei: "…my turn…I summon debris dragon…due to his effect I special summon bolt hedgehog, in attack mode, next I activate my set card, magic card, dual summon, like the name says, I get to summon one more monster. I summon speed warrior.
Now tune bolt hedgehog and speed warrior to my debris dragon! Take flight! Stardust dragon!"
Sean: "Whoa so soon"
Yusei: "Now attack his archfiend soldier"
Attack lands.
Yusei: "Turn end"
Sean's turn Life points Yusei/Sean: 2100/3400
Sean: "my turn, Dr-…"
Yusei: "what's wrong…?"
Sean: "…n-…no"
I thought to myself…who wouldn't have this kind of reaction if they drew…
Yusei had a surpised face as he knew what I had drew
Yusen and Sean: "….Seal of orichalcos…"
I Suddenly lost my excitement…for some reason I became serious..moreover…I felt some temptation to play this card, like it was begging to be played. No I will not play it, I will struggle to stand against it
Sean: "I will activate foolosih burial to send a monster to my graveyard from my deck. I send mechanicalchaser, a dark monster to my graveyard…next I activate dark unity..i can send as many dark monsters from my deck to my graveyard as the number of them in my graveyard..i send two archfiend soldier to my graveyard. Next I activate Dark nephthys's effect…I remove from play two monsters and he is special summoned in my next standby phase…"
Meanwhile in the spectator's seats.
Aki: "Sean…he is in fear"
Ruka: "ehh? Umm how do you know miss aki?"
Aki: "for some reason we can feel each other's fear, worry,sadness and pain.
Ruka: "ehh really?"
Aki: " yes…and I think he must have drew that magic card…I hope Yusei can do something"
Yusei's turn
Yusei: "Are you ok? Want to stop the duel?"
Sean: "no…I'm fine…Yusei you know—""
Yusei: "I know and I'm going to do something about it"
Sean: 'aki…she's worried'… "Yusei i-"
Yusei : "I activate the magic card, Exchange. It allows me to select one card in your hand and take it to my hand, as in return, you choose one card from my hand and take it…so I select your seal of orichalcos."
Sean: "My selection is…junk synchron"
We both go back to our potitions
Yusei thought to himself: n..no something's wrong…i…have to play this card…I must play…seal of orichalcos…i…must
Sean: "Don't Do it"
Yusei: "eh…huh?"
Yusei: "I'm sorry Sean…I can't resist…I activate….Seal of orichalcos!"
Aki stood up
Aki: "what is Yusei doing?"
Something started shining in Sean's hand, he had the orichalcos's mark, just like it was a signer's birthmark…but no…that wasn't a birthmark.
Ruka: "is that a birthmark on Sean's hand?"
Aki: "huh"
Sean: " my hand is….it hurts!"
Yusei's chest seemed to have been in pain.
Yusei: "GWAAAAAA!"
Yusei let out a scream of pain and fell down
Sean had been struggling in pain, but hadn't gave up yet.
Yusei: "Sean…take…this"
He threw a card at him
Sean: "R-…Ring of…Destruction"
Yusei: "If our duel ends in a draw…no one's soul will be stolen…right?"
Sean: "you knew right..? you knew I couldn't resist the orichalcos! And you knew you wouldn't resist it either, but you preferred to be at fault didn't you?"
Yusei: "…"
Everyone at the spectator's seats were confused, no one knew what was happening, except those related to Sean and Yusei
Yusei: "maybe…but I also, didn't want you to dissapear…"
Sean: "eh..?"
Yusei: "the one who activates the Seal of orichalcos….feels more pain…"
Sean: " what are you trying to tell me?"
Yusei" "seems like you won't need ring of destruction…"
Yusei then fell uncoscious
Sean's eyes widened…in big fear
Sean: "no way….you can't die yet….you can't!"
Aki Rua and Ruka stood up and started running down towards the stadium, in the duel field
"YUSEI!"
But it was too late…The seal of orichalcos had already taken him.
Aki: "..no..no…"
Aki started to cry after Yusei's souless body.
Aki then felt it
Sean's feeling…
His eyes had changed to the other form's one, one orange, one glowish green.
….
Sean: "g..gw…GWAAAAA"
Dark Nephthys started destroying the stadium and Sean started to gather something like dark energy, as a green aura started concetratng on him.
Dark nephthys had gone berserk
Everyone on the stadium started running towards the exits.
All that could be heard were…screams…cries…pain…
That's all I could hear… it was like I was falling into a void, into nothingness, but…
I heard a voice calling me
"Sean!"
Aki's voice? But why? Is it a voice of hatred towards me? I don't know, I don't think of anything, as I fall into memories…
"..ii-s..n"
"…..ni…an"
"….nii-san…"
"Nii-san!" (Brother)
A light shined and I could see aki above me, I had fell on the ground…her face wasn't that of hatred…rather, it was a…worrying face"
Aki: "Sean! Sean! Stand up!"
Sean: " ehh…."
I couldn't tell what happened…that's right. yusei fainted upon using orichalcos and it took his soul away.
Aki: "Sean…please…stop…it's not your fault"
How did she knew what I felt? That's right, we share a bond as our powers are similar.
Upon hearing that…I calm down. I still hold anger but I can control myself now.
Aki: "I'm glad"
Sean: "huh?"
Then she started crying
Aki: "I thought you died too!... you idiot!"
Dark Nephthys vanished in an instant, I stood up, but still I felt depressed over Yusei's death.
Taking a look at the stadium, I could tell how much I caused…
Rua and ruka were both crying
Sean: "Aki…"
Aki: "y-yes?"
Sean: "take them to the truck…I'll take yusei's body with me in the back of it…he is souless after all, not a corpse…even though it is almost the same"
Aki: "…ok"
She left with them, and as I was carrying Yusei's body I thought 'it should have been me…why do you do things like that…you idiot…'
I didn't notice it was raining really hard
On my way to the truck I saw someone.
Zelsion?
Zelsion: "…"
Sean: "I don't have time for this"
Zelsion: "I saw it too"
Sean: "huh?"
Zelsion: "you saw some of your memories right?"
Sean: "I…I think so"
Zelsion: "You remembered when we were back there right?"
Sean: "huh?"
Zelsion: "when we were with our father, peacefully, and suddenly we were both…"
Sean: "stop… I can't take anymore"
I kept carrying Yusei's souless body in the truck as I finally arrived.
Sean: "aki can you drive this?" I shouted from the back place of the truck
Aki: "yes…"
When we arrived we took Yusei to the hospital, even though we all knew damn well, nothing was gonna happen.
Sean: "I shouldn't have been here from the beginning"
Aki: "you can't change your destiny"
Sean: " I'm sorry aki…"
I couldn't handle it, I burst into tears again
But … she gave me a hug, I think she was trying to comfort me…
Nothing went on, just silence.
I don't know much of other people's feelings since for me, my life starts two years before.
But…I hug her back, as accepting her feelings.
Then something comes in my mind
Sean: "…! That's right! If orichalcos takes someone's soul, there must be a way to bring it back from it took the soul right?"
Aki: "eh?"
Sean: "don't worry I'll ask somebody who might know."
Aki: "Are you sure it will be-"
Sean: "yeah, let's call it a day now though"
Aki: "all right"
While going to sleep I remember rua's words before our duel
"now go and win the duel"
Huh…looks like I won but in a way I didn't want to.
There is a way to save Yusei, I'm sure of it!
Tomorrow I'll look for Zelsion and get him to tell me! YEAAAH!
And I know aki will help me , we will all work together to bring him back, and I know everyone will start smiling again.
….
One very important thing I didn't think about…
WHERE DO WE START LOOKING FROM?
After his death everyone feels depressed, but I know we can do it even if the odds are against us…now time to pay Zelsion a visit.
…Aki give me back my mobile phone!
Ahhh this sucks!
Next time, a smile in the darkness of doom
Now let's all work together!... Rua! You fucken brat give me back Nephthys!
