As a Thanksgiving Present I decided to update!

Wow! This is Chapter 20!

So I'm hoping people are still reading even after my very prolonged absence. But I'm finally on fall break and have time to breath. Nursing has been very demanding and I had no free time outside of my classes and two clubs that I'm active in to do much of anything.

But finally as promised, here's the next chapter of An Orphan's Tale

-B

Chapter 20: Duel with Pegasus… Or Not…

"Approaching Duelist Kingdom" Mokie said.
"Prepare for landing" Seto said hitting a few switches.
As the jet touched land and the cockpit opened, I gladly jumped out and onto the solid ground.
"This place is deserted. There's no way anyone lives here" I said looking around.
"Maybe his staff is on vacation" Mokie added.
"Less people to get in my way" Seto said stepping into the mostly dark castle. We walked through the eerie halls and I stood very close to Seto. We stepped to an edge and I almost went head first into a dark drop. Seto grabbed my hand quickly and pulled me back.
"Damn that was close" I said under my breath.
"Not cool, we could have fell 200 feet" Mokie said.
"Pegasus!" Seto yelled. Silence.
"Pegasus come and face me or I will consider this a forfeit and a huge waste of my time"
"My my my Kaiba boy. I must say you got here faster than expected and with two lovely guests" The old man appeared in his well-known red suit and laughed.
"Leave them out of this. The duel is between you and me" Seto barked.
"Always straight to the point eh Kaiba. Then let's get this show on the road. This arena brings back such good memories" he said smirking as the old fashioned duel arena dropped down into place.
"Listen here Pegasus. Your cheap magic trip was just that. Now leave the past in the past!"
"Come on Ri, let's watch from up there" Mokie said pulling me along as Seto plugged in his duel disk.

We looked down and Seto was definitely in dueling mode.
"I must say Kaibaboy. I never thought I'd see the day that you associated with someone other than your little brother, let alone a female"
"Just shut up and take your turn. I'll let you go first since I'm going to wipe the floor with you"
"Fine I'll start with my Toon Alligator"
"Not that pathetic thing again..."
They went at it full strength until Pegasus played Toon Table of Contents which allowed him to play Toon World. I've watched Seto's duel with Pegasus online once and it seems as though it's going move for move on his behalf.
Then he summoned a Toon Blue Eyes. It honestly was adorable but I kept my mouth shut. Seto hates Pegasus' toon monsters but they're so darn cute!
He finally wiped out his Toon World and thus destroying Pegasus' strategy completely.
"With your silence I assume you're forfeiting"
"You know Kaibaboy. I just haven't been feeling like myself. I mean that quiet literally" suddenly Pegasus' voice changed and he ripped his clothes off revealing a taller young man with a red bob cut and a very muscular figure.
"Who are you?"
"The name is Alister. I have come to seek my revenge. Your father took everything from me! Now it's your turn to lose it all!"
He said bringing out a weird looking duel disk.
"It's my move and I play the Seal of Orichalcos!" the dueling arena disappeared and a weird green circle appeared.
"What is this?" Seto asked eyes wide in confusion.
"The Seal simply has trapped us inside. But only the victor will be able to leave. The loser loses his soul. Which will be you! You'll go through the pain of losing your little brother just like I did at the hands of your father. Your little girlfriend is just an added bonus for me"
"Seto isn't responsible for anything that evil step father of ours did! He hated the old Kaiba Corp! He changed it!"
"Like father like son"
"Alister, you have no right to say I am anything like that bastard I had for a Stepfather. I'm sorry you lost your brother but I had nothing to do with it! You failed him as a brother. You didn't protect him"
"Words! Your father's machines took millions of lives while he made millions of dollars. I tried to protect him but it was too late. I play my mighty Gorlag"
The duel raged on and Alister's fire monsters were very powerful especially with Gorlag's special abilities on top of the effects of the Seal.
I was honestly scared when Seto's life points dropped to 400 while Alister's sat at 1200. Two of Seto's blue eyes were actually pinned against him, and his trap cards were useless. I don't know all of the cards in Seto's deck but I can't think of one that could help him.
"Draw your last pathetic card. So I can destroy you and your soul can feed the great beast.
Seto touched his deck to draw but zones out. After about 30 seconds he blinks and smirks as he draws.
"I play the Fang of Critius! Then I'll fuse it with my Crush Card! To form the Doom Virus Dragon!"
"You can't fuse monsters with trap cards"
"I think I just did" I just love it when he makes and amazing comeback!
"My dragon's special ability destroys all monsters with an attack strength of 1500 or higher... Which would be all of yours!"
"Activate Magic Card.." I couldn't hear the name.
"It's a draw!" they were both thrown from the circle backwards. As ran down to Seto.
"He's gone" Mokuba said pointing
"This isn't over Kaiba; I'll be back" we heard his voice fading into the castle.
"Let's get out of here" I suggested

"Seto how did Alister just disappear like that?"

"I don't know Mokuba. Let's get out of here" I could see Seto holding that Fang of Critius card.

"Seto how did you get that Dragon card?"

"I don't know but I know one person who might"

We got in the jet and took off. The second time wasn't so bad. I never knew why I was afraid of flying I always just was.

"Mokuba, set course for Industrial Illusions Head Quarters. The only person who can answer my questions is the real Pegasus"

Crap this is going to be a long flight.

I leaned back into Seto after he put the autopilot on. He looked stressed and this wasn't a good situation to begin with.

We landed a few hours later. I actually had fallen asleep against Seto. He caressed my cheek, waking me.

"See flying isn't horrible"

"Nothing horrible when I'm next to you" I said placing my hand over his.

"Alright let's go"

I got out first followed by Seto and Mokuba. We walked towards the main entrance and was shocked to see the place was deserted. Then I felt a surge in the air.

"Did you feel that?"

"Feel what?"

"The air was cold for a moment"

"Not really, it's generally cooler here than Japan"

"Okay" we walked in to see my brother, his friends, Duke Delvin, and the two losers from Battle City (Weevil and Rex)

"Kaiba? What are you doing here?" Tristan asked.

"Definitely not for the dweeb convention. Where's Pegasus?"

There it is! Hope you liked it. I will try to get another chapter up before I go back to school next week but I'm trying to update all my stories this week!

Remember to Follow, Favorite, and Review! I love it when you guys do!

Until next time, here's a preview!

"I'm afraid we all were too late. Mai Valentine got to him first and took his soul using the Seal of Orichalcos" Yugi said. Alister used that card against Seto.

I felt Seto stiffen and his eyes widened as Yugi held up the picture of the seal with Pegasus' face.

"Kaiba have you faced this card before?" he asked.
