Duel 16: Shadi's Challenge

As Yami and Shadi continue to stand off between one another Joey on the other hand was having a little bit of trouble getting air to his lungs. "GGGH…" chokes Joey as he tries to get the Professor off him.

"JOEY!" exclaims Yugi who was now trying to help his best friend. "The Professor's really trying to kill Joey" exclaims Heila. "Professor Yoshimori! What's wrong?" exclaims Grandpa as he to was trying to figure out the Professor.

"SHADI!" growls Yami as he tries to hold back his temper. "Now Yami, show me your true powers" remarks Shadi once again.

Meanwhile, everyone was gathered around Joey and Yoshimori as everyone tried to loosen Yoshimori's hold on Joey's neck. "URRRGH…..His strength is insane! I can't budge his arms!" exclaims Grandpa as he tries pulling on one of his arms.

"JOEY" calls Yugi once more. "HEE HEE" chuckles Yoshimori. But as all this was going on Yugi can't help but think negatively which on the other hand allowed Yami to hear threw the connection they shared threw the Millennium Puzzle. 'What's happened….? Professor….! It's like someone brainwashed him and turned him into a killer….' thinks Yugi as he takes a glance back towards Yami and Shadi.

'Shadi…Did he do something to the Professor?' wonders Yugi as he glances at Shadi. "Know this, Yami….I have redecorated the room of that man's soul….now he moves at my will. I have planted one thought in that puppet. "Make the boy's friends suffer…." explains Shadi to Yami.

'That will push Yami's heart to the limit…If my theory is correct…..when he has no other options, when his heart is out of hope….then this should cause Yami's powers to awaken' thinks Shadi who only wanted to see Yami's true powers and would stop at nothing to see them.

'I planned to leave this country as soon as I punished the men who defiled the territory of the gods and opened the Pharaoh's tomb….But then I met Yami….Since that time, the feeling of defeat smolders in my heart…..I can't leave this country…not with those embers still burning….I want to see Yami's power with my own eyes….To do that, I will push this boy as far as I must….' thinks Shadi as he looks over at Yami who was glaring daggers at him.

"JOEY!" shouts Heila who was no gasping for air. "….UH…..UH…..". "JOEY! This is bad…..!" whispers Yugi as he looks around for something he could grab a hold of. Suddenly Yugi spotted a globe that was sitting off to the side of the room.

So with a glare and quick determination, Yugi goes and gets the globe before running at the Professor with great force and swinging the globe right at him. "Professor…Forgive me!" and with that Yugi swung the globe directly at the Professor which collided head on with him causing him to let go of Joey.

"UCK…" wheezes Joey as he gasps in loads of air to his lungs once the Professor went flying backwards. "GASP! WHEE-EEZE…GEEZ…..I Almost….Croaked…..Hukk…." coughs Joey as he's finally able to speak once more.

"You did it, Yugi" shouts Heila. "Great work aibou" remarks Yami as he noticed what his aibou had done. "You knocked him out…..!" wonders Grandpa as he noticed what his grandson did. Which also shocks Shadi in the process.

"Are you okay, Joey?" asks Heila. "Yeah….Nice hit, Yugi!" remarks Joey as he looks to both Yugi and Heila. "I think I hit him too hard…." remarks Yugi as he looks to the globe within his hands still. "I'm worried about Professor Yoshimori" remarks Grandpa as he looks to the Professor who was on the floor.

Just then as that was said the Professor suddenly began to move and decided to leap up at everyone once again. "EEK" exclaims Grandpa as he sees the Professor still zombie like. "He's still the same" remarks Yami as his eyes widen in shock.

"He's a zombie! Everyone, let's split up!" shouts Joey who thought it was a good idea to split up so it would be harder for the Professor to try attacking them again. 'Hmmm…..Evidently the Professor isn't enough….. I must enter the room of the soul of another here….and turn them into a puppet as well' thinks Shadi as he begins to search for his neck target.

"Be careful, Everyone" exclaims Yugi as he looks to everyone from a different part of the room completely unaware of Shadi who suddenly appears behind him. 'Hmm…this boy….If I recall correctly this is the boy who holds two rooms within his soul….maybe I can use him to my advantage…' thinks Shadi as he re-enters Yugi's soul room once more.

Upon entering Yugi's soul room once more, Shadi is suddenly greeted by toys and more toys that are scattered all over the room. 'This boy is very pure…can I bring myself to "remodel" his room? It would be a pathetic thing to do but I must force Yami into action. At the very least I can do is not turn him into a pathetic zombie like the Professor. Instead he shall be a lovely puppet without memories or a voice….' and with that in mind Shadi began to redecorate Yugi's once childish soul room.

"OOOHYAAAA" groans Professor Yoshimori who was going after Joey once again. "He's comin at me again" remarks Joey as the Professor dashes his way. "Professor Yoshimori, What's going on? Don't you remember me? I'm your friend" explains Grandpa as he jumps in front of Joey and the Professor.

"Gramps, don't get to close" remarks Joey as he tries to reason with Grandpa. "UHH….", "URAAAHH!" grunts the Professor as he slugs Grandpa within the face. "GWAA" groans Grandpa as he takes the punch to the face.

"Grandpa Mutou" shouts Heila as she sees what happens to Grandpa. "Gramps" exclaims Joey who was totally unaware of the Professor who was still coming his way. "Joey watch out, Run" shouts Yami who sees the Professor.

"DAMN", 'At this rate it's only a matter of time until that zombie gets a hold of Yugi, Yami and Heila….I've got to distract him….I've got to lead him away!', "Hey! Ya old bookworm! Take a bite out of this! MY ASS" remarks Joey as he shakes his ass at the Professor in hopes it would work.

"RGAAAH" growls the Professor to Joey just as Joey quickly dashes out of the room and down the hallway with the Professor hot on his heels. "OVER HERE", 'Heh Heh….That's it follow me' and with that in mind Joey continues to lead the Professor away from everyone else.

"JOEY!" yell both Yami and Heila as they notice Joey run out and down the hallway with the Professor hot on his trail. "You have a good friend….He would save you by sacrificing himself… And he is a good friend as well" replies Shadi as he stood behind both Heila and Yami.

"SHADI" reply both Heila and Yami as they turn to face him. But as soon as they turn to face Shadi do they notice Yugi standing next to him as well. "YUGI!" shouts Yami as he notice his aibou under the control of Shadi.

"What did you do to Yugi" asks Heila as she looks to Yugi in sadness. "I redesigned the room of his soul. This boy is now a doll, who cannot speak or think. He is a puppet who cannot move without my will" explains Shadi as he continues to stand next to Yugi.

"Now, Yami….Let your blood burn with anger….let your body shake with sorrow! And reveal your true power!" remarks Shadi as he looks to Yami. "Yugi….." whispers Yami as he looks to Yugi with despair and pain as he looks on helplessly.

'Yugi….Err….Shadi's gone to far this time' thinks Heila as she watches the Guardian of the Millennium Items stand before her as he continues to push Yami to his limits. While back with Joey, Joey was still trying to shake the Professor off his trail.

"URK…." groans Joey as the Professor continues to chase him threw the halls. "AAGH! DAMN HE'S FAST!". 'Heh Heh, But I'm not trying to get away! I've drawn him far enough away from Yugi and the others…I'll finish this at the next corner' thinks Joey as he gets ready to turn the next corner and face the Professor once again.

Once around the corner Joey decides to take action. 'Heh heh….Come and get it' thinks Joey just as throws a super hard punch towards Yoshimori which sends him flying just as his mouth collided with Joey's fist.

"WHA-YAHHH!" yells Joey. "AWRIGHT! That right how'll bring you to your senses!" remarks Joey as he watches Yoshimori collide with the far side of the wall. "Prof?" calls Joeys as he tries to keep his distance from Yoshimori.

"You're okay, aren't you….? You woke up right?" asks Joey as Yoshimori begins to move once more. 'He tired to kill me, and I'm helpin' him out! See, I'm really a nice guy….' But what Joey thought suddenly becomes the total opposite to what was happing for Yoshimori was still under the control of Shadi. "WHAA?" exclaims a shocked yet rather confused Joey. "NO WAY!"

"WHOO HOO…." groans Yoshimori as he continues his chase after Joey. "WHY…..? WHY DIDN'T THAT WORK?" shouts Joey as he goes back to running for his life as Yoshimori continues to chase him threw the hallways.

Meanwhile back with Yami and Shadi, Yami was battling within him to do the right thing without hurting Yugi in the process. 'Yami….' thinks Heila as she looks to Yami with a loss of what to do for him.

'That's it….Anger…..Hatred…..Sadness….On the far side of your emotions…..like a runner waiting for the handoff in a relay…Your true powers are waiting….'thinks Shadi as he continues to watch Yami ball his fists into tight grips and his body shakes with rage.

"Listen well, Yami…..These words will be the final trigger…..If I ordered this boy to die….He would die" remarks Shadi to Yami which causes him to gasp in anger as he looks to Shadi in the process. 'This is it…his true powers' thinks Shadi as he begins to feel the powers of the Millennium Puzzle come to life within Yami.

As that was happening Heila herself was also feeling the powers of the Millennium Puzzle as Yami's emotions began to take there toll as Yami began to call forth his true powers. "Yami no" gasps Heila as the puzzle began to glow brighter than ever before.

But as this was all going on inside, on the outside a hooded female figure was standing on a ledge just outside the building while gasping as she could feel the power of the Millennium Puzzle. "That power…It….It can't be….".

"SHADI!" yells Yami finally once the light to the Millennium Puzzle began to die down and Yami was facing Shadi face to face with an emotion far greater than what Yami was showing once before, it was as if he was a totally different person.

"Finally….You've awaken your true powers…..Now, the second stage to our game can begin….." remarks Shadi as he looks to Yami without fear.
