Whew! I think this is the last chapter. Sort of. You can choose between
this being the last chapter or chapter 5 being the last chapter. Whichever
one you want. I couldn't decide on an ending so I jus thought what the heck
do 'em both and do what my public wants!!! Not that I have that many people
reading my story(at least I don't think)! I think this is the longest one
yet.
Well heres it iz, the sort-of-last chapter:
(ok we left off when they [Yugi, Joey, Bakura, Tristan, Lotus, Kaiba, Mokuba and Tea] were going off to see Lotus settle her score with Pegasus)
"boss. They're back." "what? Yugi and his little friends?" "well yeah, them and Kaiba.and." "spit it out.who?!?!" "Kaiba's brother and his girlfriend" "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? But I trapped them, their souls, they were...HOW??!?!this is an outrage!!" Pegasus,obviously, was stupified, and in a terrible rage. How could they have possibly come back. "Hmmm.if I'm right, and I always am, then lover-boy's girlffriend is here for a duel. Oh she'll get one. And this time.."
"ok. So we're here. But I think we could've gotten throught with out almost killing the guard. He's still out cold.", Tristan said looking at the stiff, dressed-in-black body on the ground. "Hey! He wouldn't let me in!", Lotus said in her defense, "If he had just been a nice little boy, he wouldn't have to gotten hurt. So it's his fault." "psst! Joey!", yu gi whispered out of earshot of Lotus. " is she always like this when she's mad?" "mad? This isn't mad, yug. Trust me, she was just slightly upset this time. You don't want to see her mad!" they laughed. "Lo-chan?" "hm?" "no offense, but you always say you are terrible at dueling. How do you expect to beat Pegasus exactly?" "Shhh! Well. I don't really know. I just thought it'd be a cool thing to do." "It would. If you could do it." "yeah, it poses a bit of a small problem huh?" "Mm-hmm. Just a small one." "don't mock me!" "don't mock me!", Mokuba said in a taunting voice. "ohhhh Mokuba!!Big mistake!hah! I am so gonna get you for that!" "RUN LITTLe BROTHER!!! It's a HAG!!" "EXCUSE ME??????you wait Kaiba-chan!!!"
Joey looked over to Lotus and Kaiba. He smiled. they were all having so much fun. They were laughing and chasing each other around like carefree people. He wished he was like that.
Man. I feel happy HE got his little brother back. Lotus helped him. But I can't help my own sister. He pulled out his wallet which contained a picture of his sister, Trinity. Don' worry sis. Somehow I am gonna find the money and I am gonna deliver it personally to you. Just hold on a little longer.
"Joey!! Help!!haha! let go of me mokuba!!I hate being tickled!!!EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!no not you too Seto!!!" Joey laughed." Ok here I go! I'm coming to help!!" "I knew could-HEY!!!no no no no no, don't help THEM help me!!! JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!ok ok ok I gve I give,uncle.UNCLE!!! aunt, cousin.brother, sister" "ok let her go!", bakura yelled through his laughs. It was very funny, but he thought she had had enough. Just a few minutes before Mokuba was back on his feet, sh had a terrible migraine. "whew! Never do that again!!!"
suddenly all their laughter had stopped. A voice spkoe. It seemed to be coming from all places at once. "HAHAHAH! So you found a way to come back did you? I must say I am impressed. I congratulate you." "enough of this Pegagsus. are you just stalling? Afraid that I'll beat you in a duel??" "afraid???hahaha!! foolish child. You can't even have the honor of dueling me yet." "psh! Some honor." Joey said under his breath. "but, if you really want to duel me that badly, I suppose I could make time in my busy schedule. I always have time for a laugh." "laugh all you want. I can asure you, you wont be the one with the last laugh. Just wait til I'm through with you. You won't know what hit you. Lets go!" "all right then!!but first I have a little conition. We both wager something. If you win, which will never happen, you get the prize money and Yugi's reason for being here.. If, I should be saying WHEN I win. I get Kaiba's soul and your entire deck." Lotus was having a change of heart. She couldn't risk Kaiba's soul. She was 100% sure she'd lose anyway. She didn't have much skill to begin with and then there was his millenium eye, which let him see her cards. She couldn't. but Kaiba must have read her mind. "No Lo-chan. Don't back down. Remember how you got back?" Lotus had forgotten about that. With her millenium item, she could get his soul back ,so all she'd lose was her deck. So what? "I agree." "Then lets go!"
In a heartbeat they were transported into Pegasus' castle. "Hey. How'd that happen?" "Shut-up Joey! We're gonna see her duel." "Don't tell me what to do!" "Joey?" "Yeah coz?" "Shut-up!" "Ok." "Ya just got to know who to ask him, Tristan." "I'll remember that."
"Enough of this childish bickering!", Pegasus roared. "It's time to duel."
(ok so now Lotus and Pegasus are about to begin. Forgive me if the duel isn't what you wanted it to be like.)
"Come on Lo-chan! You can do it! I belive in you! "Kaiba's right.",said Yugi, "just play with the heart of the cards and you can't lose! Not even to Pegasus!" "GO LOTUS!!!!" Tristan and Bakura cheered. "We're all here for you Lotus, you can do it!". Now Tea was joining in. "Go Lotus! Its your birthday! Go Lotus whose your.er.Cousin!!! Wish we had some cheerleaders." "It's ok Joey! Thanks guys! Don't worry I won't let you down!"
(Pegasus thoughts) Lotus? Unusual name. And I only now of one person who has that name. Oh yes. NOW, I remember. I never thought we would meet. Oh well, it won't stop me from finishing her off.
"So LOTUS? How are you doing these days?" "What? This is neither the time nor the place for one of your jokes, Pegasus." "Tut tut tut. Didn't your father ever tell you it's rude to call adults by their first names." " I don't see any adults here." "What a rude, snobbish little girl you are! Looks like your father wasn't much of a man. Not teaching his own daughter manners. Tsk tsk tsk." "Shut up jerk!! My father is more of a man than you ever were, are, or will be!!" "How ironic. And do you understand the irony of it all? Oh poor poor Lotus. Oh well. Did you know I knew your father?" "LIAR!!!!" "Haahaahaa! He was a pathetic human being in his earlier years." "SHUT UP!!!" "Would you like to know your father's name? I know who he is." She froze. For some odd reason, she knew he was telling the truth. And all her life she wanted to know who her father was. She wanted to know. "Yes. I thought you would. You are so predictable. I knew your father well. Very well. We were best friends and best enemies. His name is: Maximillion Pegasus." "LIAR!!!!I never thought you would sink this low! My father would never ever be somebody like you!" "Oh he wouldn't? is that why he left you and your mother helpless when you were a mere 2 years old. Is that why he put his duel monters before his family?" Lotus started thinking. Her dad was horrible. But he couldn't be HIM! "Ok, Pegasus. Prove you are my father. If you can prove it I'll belive you." "You want proof? How's this for proof:
Sleep my Lotus Blossom
Shut your eyes tight
Sleep my Lotus Blossom
Let your Dreams take flight
Ring a bell?"
Lotus couldn't belive it. How could Pegasus be her father. But he had to. She remembered that song ever since she was young. He and her were the only 2 that knew it. Not even her mom did. "who do you think gave you the millenium item you wear on your wrist?". A look of disgust appeared on his face." I had trouble back then. My weaker side wanted to stay here with you and your mother, while my Strong side wanted to go off and leave 2 pathetic people behind. Eventually he gave in, but asked that this was to be given to you. I hadn't an idea it was a millenium item, but now that I know. I'm planning to take it.but you know, you never thought it would come to this. did you? The time to choose between Kaiba-boy and your father. You still have a chance to back out." "My dad died a long time ago. He died when I was 2 years old. A moster by the name of Pegasus took him over. I will beat you Pegasus." "Hahahahahaha! How sentimental. Too bad it won't get you anywhere." "OK! Forget this and lets duel." "As you wish dear.". he smirked.
"Did you hear that? Joey?JOEY?" "huh?what? yeah I hear ya. This is harder on Lotus, but it's stilla shock that Pegasus is my uncle. I just find it weird. I'm not taking it too good" "its ok buddy.". Tristan said, reassuring his friend "its ok."
"I'll let you make the first move, DAD."
"Ok then." He was now starting to use his millenium eye to goinside her mind and find out how she was planning to beat him. "AH!" pain went through his head. He whispered to himself "whats wrong? Why is my millenium eye failing me? Wait can it be. That's the only explanation. Her Millenium item must cancel mine out so then I can't use it."
"I've never seen Pegasus so nervous. Well now that I think about it, I don't think I have ever seen him nervous.", Yu gi pointed out. "hey your right yug.! But I wonder why he's looking so nervous." "I dunno Tristan. We can only guess."
"well, father dearest, don't keep me waiting, I might throw a tantrum." "your little jokes don't intimidate me. I'll play the 'green eyes white dragon' in attack mode!!!"
"is there even such a card??? How many color dragons are there? Oh wait, he is the inventor of the cards, so he must have very single one in his deck. Ok now what should I play. I think I'll play the 'stone soldier'. In attack mode. AND I'll also put this card face down."
"what? A statue? Hah! Attack green eyes white dragon!!"
the dragon charged on her stone soldier and crushed it. her life points went down to 1500
"hahahahaha! Your pathetic soldier didn't stand a chance against my green eyes!!" "Oh daddy!!! Did you forget the card I placed face down earlier? Well it was 'abandon'. Something you are familir with? Well this card makes your green eyes white dragon abandon its master and go to the stronger side. But I guess you're wondering how it can do that when I have less life points. BUT, in that case, our life points are switched and now I have all of mine back, thus being stronger, and you have 1500, thus being weaker. You aren't that good of a dueler with out your millenium eye working."
"how did she do that? No matter. I am still in this duel and I am not out yet. I play 'toon world'.and I put this card face down."
"Oh? No more new tactics? Well ok I play this card face down and attack green eyes white dragon!"
the dragon attacked toon world.
"un un un. My face down card was a trap card.its activated when you attack, and it when activated it lowers your monster's attack power by 200 points. Every turn."
"AHH! Fine fine, jus fine. I can do this. Just do what comes naturally. Play with the heart of the cards. Deep breathes. Hmmm.if I can get rid of his toon world it will de activate his card and the dragon wont lose any more attack points. But what do I have that can attack toon world? Wait. If I can send my moster to toon world then it'll come out more powerful. Its attack points will still be drained next turn, but I can destroy his toonworld when he activates my magic card. Ok then! GO GREEN EYES WHITE DRAGON! GO INTO TOON WORLD!!!"
"Is she allowed to do that?!?!?!?!?????!!"
So green eyes goes into toon world and comes back out looking like a plush doll. But it reagaind 350 attack points.
"Hahaha! But it only gains 150 if you count my trap card. I play 'magical hats', and hide my toon world inside. If you can attack the right card then it'll be gone."
"Oh no! ok ok ok ok ok think think think. I need to attack a hat but which one is it? Wait. I think green eyes might know. He was in toon world. He could sense.some kind of vibes. But he can't tell me which one. He cant think. He hasn't a soul or anything. Hes just a card. WAIT A SECOND! No he's not just a card. In the 'Twilight Zone' there were those floating monsters. I bet they were also souls of the cards. That's what it means to play with the heart of the cards. If I can use my millenium item and concentrate I think I'll know which one it is. Ok now................."
Kaiba was watching Lotus very closely. "What is she doing? She's just standing there. She should make a move. Pegasus played a good move. She only has a 25% chance of getting it right. Come one Lo-chan. Just make your move."
"GOT IT!! green eyes white dragon, attack the second one to the left!"
It attcked. Lotus was right. She had hit the right one. The expression on Pegasus' face was one not to be missed.
"WOOHOO!!! LOTUS!!I knew you could do it." Tea was jumping up and down with excitement. "That's just like Lo-chan. She always gets things right, when she thinks it through."
So now the life points are
Pegasus: 1000
Lotus: 2000
"Yay! I never win! This is what it feels like to be winning? It feels cool. But I wonder, why is he playing so bad? He is actually a good duelist. Why does he-"
"You think you've won? Think again! you may have cut my life points in half, but I still have something I took. Go blue eyes white dragon!!!"
"uh-oh!!! That's Kaiba-chan's card!! My green eyes toon dragon's attack points aren't enough to beat his blue eyes. Looks like a big chunk of my life points are going 'bye bye'."
"blue eyes! Attack!!"
The blue eyes finished off her green eyes.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Aargh!! Ok my turn. I need a card that'll take care of him in 3 turns or less. Ok I am going to draw a card. Oh heart of the cards don't fail me now!!" she drew a card. "OH MY GOD!!!! NOOOO!!!! What kind of card is this? Why is it even in my deck? How embarrassing. I'll play this card face down as well.UGH!!!"
"That must be a pretty bad card if shes howlin' bout it that much!!" Joey noticed.
"she's full of surprises.", Kaiba replied.
"HAHAHA!!!With that bad of a card, I can finish all your life points in one go. Attack Blue eyes white dragon!!!"
It went straight for Lotus' card that she had placed face down. But instead of her losing her life points, Pegasus lost all of his.
"WHAT?!?! How did you do that??"
"It goes like this. That card I pulled out. It wasn't that bad. I was just putting on an act. I knew you'd buy it. you are so predictable. Want to know what that card was? It was the flaming swordsman that I borrowed from Joey. Yes yes I know not enough to kill your dragon, but there was my magic card. It increased its attack points by however many the attacking card had, in this case your blue eyes, and sent it back at you." Lotus was smiling. She never won before. But now she had beaten the world's most famous dueler.( ok so the duel didn't last for more than 5 minutes if you read it, but it takes a long imt to write out a proper duel. And this game was one-sided too. But who cares?) "Lo-chan!!You did it Lo-chan!!" "I did it! I did it!Joey!Joey!Did you see??now we can help your sister Trinity!!!" Joey was practically crying. "Yes! I saw saw!!!That's great!!" Everyone was so happy. So happy to see the downfall of Pegasus. And Yugi was so happy that he would have his grandfather back.
How could I lose? My stupid millenium eye!! Her stupid Millenium bracelet!! I know now why the weaker side wanted to leave that to her. He wanted to give her a chance. "Well, well, well.you beat me. I am very impressed." He smirked to hide his shame. "Enough talk Pegasus. I want what I came for." "Then by all means, have it. KEEMO!!" "yes boss?" "bring me the prize money." "ok boss." *he goes for like 2minutes then comes back* "here ya go. 3 million dollars." "ok then. Here you go." He tosses the bag full of money to Lotus. And Lotus hands it to Joey. "here Joey. I'm sure this will pay off for the operation." "you're giving it all to me?! But." "it's your money now Joey. Do what you want. I wouldn't have gotten here with out your help. Actually, wihout anybody's help. No one can do anything alone. And I already got what I wanted." "ok then. Thanks Lotus." "don't mention it. and I'd like to see Trinity too. I am her cousin after all.hey wait PEGASUS!!" "something is missing from my prize. Yugi's grandfather." "yes. If you go straight down the hall, you should find him there."
They all rushed off.
"should go do away with them boss?" "No. leave them." "but, boss, you usually-". "who cares what I usually do?!! I said leave them!!!" "ok boss. I'll go back outside helping the other guard." "yes you do that."
"grandpa?" yu gi asked. His grandpa still didn't wake up. "I think Pegasus didn't give me all I asked for. Oh well. It's ok. I'll bring him back Yug, don't you worry your pretty little head." "huh?" "it's just an expression." "oh ok.i get it. I think." "ok here we go." She slipped off her millenium bracelet and put it in Yugi's grandpa's arm. As soon as the bracelet was off her arm and on his, she fell to the floor, a huge pain in her head. "ahhhhhhhh!" "Lo-chan?whats wrong?" "my head, my everything, it hurts sooo much.ahhhhhh!!" "It's ok. I'm here for you." Bakura bent down to talk to Lotus. "Lotus since when have you worn that?" "since I was 9. since I moved here. Why?OW!!!" "have you ever taken it off?" "No-oww!" "I think I get it." "WHAT? TELL ME WHATS WRONG WITH HER!!!!" "ok ok. Calm down. Yelling wont' help. Since she has had that bracelet for so long and she cherishes it because she believes it's a part of her, she can't live with out it. that's why when she put it on Mokuba she had that huge headache, but she lived because it didn't take long to get Mokuba back." "so that's it? we are just gonna have to sit here and watch my cousin die without doing a thing?" now Joey was crying. "It's....ok...Joeeeee" "don't worry Lotus. You saved me twice, now its my turn to help you.i wont let you die. As soon as Yugi's grandpa comes back, we'll put it back on you and then you'll be ok again." Mokuba said reassuring her, but knowing it ouldn't happen. "no....it can't..by the time.......he comes back...I'll be gone" "Lo-chan?!?!stop that I wont let you!!!" "Kaiba-chan?...I am sorry for the trouble...I caused you...the pain I put you through." "me? PAIN? If anyone, I think you're in pain!!" "ha" she gave a weak chuckle. "Lotus. You don't have to do this. If you come back we can go to Pegasus an make him give my grandpa's soul back!!see? you can both live!!its ok don't- " "yu gi....its all right...I know HE...won't give in if his...life depended on it...before I go... good-byes are in order... Thank you ALL for... helping me... through this... Joey. My stupid cousin... I'll never see you again...but you were so cool... and hilarious...and fun to laugh at...kidding...but I'll miss you. Mokuba...you are so cute...try and stay out of trouble...for me ...and don't give...kaiba-chan a hard time...and...Kaiba-chan?" everyone thought they might've wanted to be alone for a while so they all walked off into a corner.
"Kaiba-chan...I wish I had...more time to tell you...just how I feel...about you...but I only have...a few minutes...I want you to keep... the millenium bracelet...and tell my mom...everything..AHHHHH!!! No no I'm fine...I can see yugi's...grandpa coming around...my last words...are... ahhhhhh.I LOVE YOU KAI-" it was too late. Her hand dropped from his and fell with a soft thud on the floor. From then on, Kaiba has worn the braclet of his only true love, and he feels her presence with it.no one will forget her and the sacrfices she made for the people she loved. Now they all know the Secret of the Lotus Blossom.
OMG!!!!! I am finally done with it!!!!!!!!!!! sad huh? No not me, the story. Yeah well. If you go on to chapter 5, then you can have a different ending. And R&R to tell me which is better. And if you liked the story overall. :^* moochez. Bya bai!
Well heres it iz, the sort-of-last chapter:
(ok we left off when they [Yugi, Joey, Bakura, Tristan, Lotus, Kaiba, Mokuba and Tea] were going off to see Lotus settle her score with Pegasus)
"boss. They're back." "what? Yugi and his little friends?" "well yeah, them and Kaiba.and." "spit it out.who?!?!" "Kaiba's brother and his girlfriend" "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? But I trapped them, their souls, they were...HOW??!?!this is an outrage!!" Pegasus,obviously, was stupified, and in a terrible rage. How could they have possibly come back. "Hmmm.if I'm right, and I always am, then lover-boy's girlffriend is here for a duel. Oh she'll get one. And this time.."
"ok. So we're here. But I think we could've gotten throught with out almost killing the guard. He's still out cold.", Tristan said looking at the stiff, dressed-in-black body on the ground. "Hey! He wouldn't let me in!", Lotus said in her defense, "If he had just been a nice little boy, he wouldn't have to gotten hurt. So it's his fault." "psst! Joey!", yu gi whispered out of earshot of Lotus. " is she always like this when she's mad?" "mad? This isn't mad, yug. Trust me, she was just slightly upset this time. You don't want to see her mad!" they laughed. "Lo-chan?" "hm?" "no offense, but you always say you are terrible at dueling. How do you expect to beat Pegasus exactly?" "Shhh! Well. I don't really know. I just thought it'd be a cool thing to do." "It would. If you could do it." "yeah, it poses a bit of a small problem huh?" "Mm-hmm. Just a small one." "don't mock me!" "don't mock me!", Mokuba said in a taunting voice. "ohhhh Mokuba!!Big mistake!hah! I am so gonna get you for that!" "RUN LITTLe BROTHER!!! It's a HAG!!" "EXCUSE ME??????you wait Kaiba-chan!!!"
Joey looked over to Lotus and Kaiba. He smiled. they were all having so much fun. They were laughing and chasing each other around like carefree people. He wished he was like that.
Man. I feel happy HE got his little brother back. Lotus helped him. But I can't help my own sister. He pulled out his wallet which contained a picture of his sister, Trinity. Don' worry sis. Somehow I am gonna find the money and I am gonna deliver it personally to you. Just hold on a little longer.
"Joey!! Help!!haha! let go of me mokuba!!I hate being tickled!!!EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!no not you too Seto!!!" Joey laughed." Ok here I go! I'm coming to help!!" "I knew could-HEY!!!no no no no no, don't help THEM help me!!! JOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!ok ok ok I gve I give,uncle.UNCLE!!! aunt, cousin.brother, sister" "ok let her go!", bakura yelled through his laughs. It was very funny, but he thought she had had enough. Just a few minutes before Mokuba was back on his feet, sh had a terrible migraine. "whew! Never do that again!!!"
suddenly all their laughter had stopped. A voice spkoe. It seemed to be coming from all places at once. "HAHAHAH! So you found a way to come back did you? I must say I am impressed. I congratulate you." "enough of this Pegagsus. are you just stalling? Afraid that I'll beat you in a duel??" "afraid???hahaha!! foolish child. You can't even have the honor of dueling me yet." "psh! Some honor." Joey said under his breath. "but, if you really want to duel me that badly, I suppose I could make time in my busy schedule. I always have time for a laugh." "laugh all you want. I can asure you, you wont be the one with the last laugh. Just wait til I'm through with you. You won't know what hit you. Lets go!" "all right then!!but first I have a little conition. We both wager something. If you win, which will never happen, you get the prize money and Yugi's reason for being here.. If, I should be saying WHEN I win. I get Kaiba's soul and your entire deck." Lotus was having a change of heart. She couldn't risk Kaiba's soul. She was 100% sure she'd lose anyway. She didn't have much skill to begin with and then there was his millenium eye, which let him see her cards. She couldn't. but Kaiba must have read her mind. "No Lo-chan. Don't back down. Remember how you got back?" Lotus had forgotten about that. With her millenium item, she could get his soul back ,so all she'd lose was her deck. So what? "I agree." "Then lets go!"
In a heartbeat they were transported into Pegasus' castle. "Hey. How'd that happen?" "Shut-up Joey! We're gonna see her duel." "Don't tell me what to do!" "Joey?" "Yeah coz?" "Shut-up!" "Ok." "Ya just got to know who to ask him, Tristan." "I'll remember that."
"Enough of this childish bickering!", Pegasus roared. "It's time to duel."
(ok so now Lotus and Pegasus are about to begin. Forgive me if the duel isn't what you wanted it to be like.)
"Come on Lo-chan! You can do it! I belive in you! "Kaiba's right.",said Yugi, "just play with the heart of the cards and you can't lose! Not even to Pegasus!" "GO LOTUS!!!!" Tristan and Bakura cheered. "We're all here for you Lotus, you can do it!". Now Tea was joining in. "Go Lotus! Its your birthday! Go Lotus whose your.er.Cousin!!! Wish we had some cheerleaders." "It's ok Joey! Thanks guys! Don't worry I won't let you down!"
(Pegasus thoughts) Lotus? Unusual name. And I only now of one person who has that name. Oh yes. NOW, I remember. I never thought we would meet. Oh well, it won't stop me from finishing her off.
"So LOTUS? How are you doing these days?" "What? This is neither the time nor the place for one of your jokes, Pegasus." "Tut tut tut. Didn't your father ever tell you it's rude to call adults by their first names." " I don't see any adults here." "What a rude, snobbish little girl you are! Looks like your father wasn't much of a man. Not teaching his own daughter manners. Tsk tsk tsk." "Shut up jerk!! My father is more of a man than you ever were, are, or will be!!" "How ironic. And do you understand the irony of it all? Oh poor poor Lotus. Oh well. Did you know I knew your father?" "LIAR!!!!" "Haahaahaa! He was a pathetic human being in his earlier years." "SHUT UP!!!" "Would you like to know your father's name? I know who he is." She froze. For some odd reason, she knew he was telling the truth. And all her life she wanted to know who her father was. She wanted to know. "Yes. I thought you would. You are so predictable. I knew your father well. Very well. We were best friends and best enemies. His name is: Maximillion Pegasus." "LIAR!!!!I never thought you would sink this low! My father would never ever be somebody like you!" "Oh he wouldn't? is that why he left you and your mother helpless when you were a mere 2 years old. Is that why he put his duel monters before his family?" Lotus started thinking. Her dad was horrible. But he couldn't be HIM! "Ok, Pegasus. Prove you are my father.

"My dad died a long time ago. He died when I was 2 years old. A moster by the name of Pegasus took him over. I will beat you Pegasus." "Hahahahahaha! How sentimental. Too bad it won't get you anywhere." "OK! Forget this and lets duel." "As you wish dear.". he smirked.
"Did you hear that? Joey?JOEY?" "huh?what? yeah I hear ya. This is harder on Lotus, but it's stilla shock that Pegasus is my uncle. I just find it weird. I'm not taking it too good" "its ok buddy.". Tristan said, reassuring his friend "its ok."
"I'll let you make the first move, DAD."
"Ok then." He was now starting to use his millenium eye to goinside her mind and find out how she was planning to beat him. "AH!" pain went through his head. He whispered to himself "whats wrong? Why is my millenium eye failing me? Wait can it be. That's the only explanation. Her Millenium item must cancel mine out so then I can't use it."
"I've never seen Pegasus so nervous. Well now that I think about it, I don't think I have ever seen him nervous.", Yu gi pointed out. "hey your right yug.! But I wonder why he's looking so nervous." "I dunno Tristan. We can only guess."
"well, father dearest, don't keep me waiting, I might throw a tantrum." "your little jokes don't intimidate me. I'll play the 'green eyes white dragon' in attack mode!!!"
"is there even such a card??? How many color dragons are there? Oh wait, he is the inventor of the cards, so he must have very single one in his deck. Ok now what should I play. I think I'll play the 'stone soldier'. In attack mode. AND I'll also put this card face down."
"what? A statue? Hah! Attack green eyes white dragon!!"
the dragon charged on her stone soldier and crushed it. her life points went down to 1500
"hahahahaha! Your pathetic soldier didn't stand a chance against my green eyes!!" "Oh daddy!!! Did you forget the card I placed face down earlier? Well it was 'abandon'. Something you are familir with? Well this card makes your green eyes white dragon abandon its master and go to the stronger side. But I guess you're wondering how it can do that when I have less life points. BUT, in that case, our life points are switched and now I have all of mine back, thus being stronger, and you have 1500, thus being weaker. You aren't that good of a dueler with out your millenium eye working."
"how did she do that? No matter. I am still in this duel and I am not out yet. I play 'toon world'.and I put this card face down."
"Oh? No more new tactics? Well ok I play this card face down and attack green eyes white dragon!"
the dragon attacked toon world.
"un un un. My face down card was a trap card.its activated when you attack, and it when activated it lowers your monster's attack power by 200 points. Every turn."
"AHH! Fine fine, jus fine. I can do this. Just do what comes naturally. Play with the heart of the cards. Deep breathes. Hmmm.if I can get rid of his toon world it will de activate his card and the dragon wont lose any more attack points. But what do I have that can attack toon world? Wait. If I can send my moster to toon world then it'll come out more powerful. Its attack points will still be drained next turn, but I can destroy his toonworld when he activates my magic card. Ok then! GO GREEN EYES WHITE DRAGON! GO INTO TOON WORLD!!!"
"Is she allowed to do that?!?!?!?!?????!!"
So green eyes goes into toon world and comes back out looking like a plush doll. But it reagaind 350 attack points.
"Hahaha! But it only gains 150 if you count my trap card. I play 'magical hats', and hide my toon world inside. If you can attack the right card then it'll be gone."
"Oh no! ok ok ok ok ok think think think. I need to attack a hat but which one is it? Wait. I think green eyes might know. He was in toon world. He could sense.some kind of vibes. But he can't tell me which one. He cant think. He hasn't a soul or anything. Hes just a card. WAIT A SECOND! No he's not just a card. In the 'Twilight Zone' there were those floating monsters. I bet they were also souls of the cards. That's what it means to play with the heart of the cards. If I can use my millenium item and concentrate I think I'll know which one it is. Ok now................."
Kaiba was watching Lotus very closely. "What is she doing? She's just standing there. She should make a move. Pegasus played a good move. She only has a 25% chance of getting it right. Come one Lo-chan. Just make your move."
"GOT IT!! green eyes white dragon, attack the second one to the left!"
It attcked. Lotus was right. She had hit the right one. The expression on Pegasus' face was one not to be missed.
"WOOHOO!!! LOTUS!!I knew you could do it." Tea was jumping up and down with excitement. "That's just like Lo-chan. She always gets things right, when she thinks it through."
So now the life points are
Pegasus: 1000
Lotus: 2000
"Yay! I never win! This is what it feels like to be winning? It feels cool. But I wonder, why is he playing so bad? He is actually a good duelist. Why does he-"
"You think you've won? Think again! you may have cut my life points in half, but I still have something I took. Go blue eyes white dragon!!!"
"uh-oh!!! That's Kaiba-chan's card!! My green eyes toon dragon's attack points aren't enough to beat his blue eyes. Looks like a big chunk of my life points are going 'bye bye'."
"blue eyes! Attack!!"
The blue eyes finished off her green eyes.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Aargh!! Ok my turn. I need a card that'll take care of him in 3 turns or less. Ok I am going to draw a card. Oh heart of the cards don't fail me now!!" she drew a card. "OH MY GOD!!!! NOOOO!!!! What kind of card is this? Why is it even in my deck? How embarrassing. I'll play this card face down as well.UGH!!!"
"That must be a pretty bad card if shes howlin' bout it that much!!" Joey noticed.
"she's full of surprises.", Kaiba replied.
"HAHAHA!!!With that bad of a card, I can finish all your life points in one go. Attack Blue eyes white dragon!!!"
It went straight for Lotus' card that she had placed face down. But instead of her losing her life points, Pegasus lost all of his.
"WHAT?!?! How did you do that??"
"It goes like this. That card I pulled out. It wasn't that bad. I was just putting on an act. I knew you'd buy it. you are so predictable. Want to know what that card was? It was the flaming swordsman that I borrowed from Joey. Yes yes I know not enough to kill your dragon, but there was my magic card. It increased its attack points by however many the attacking card had, in this case your blue eyes, and sent it back at you." Lotus was smiling. She never won before. But now she had beaten the world's most famous dueler.( ok so the duel didn't last for more than 5 minutes if you read it, but it takes a long imt to write out a proper duel. And this game was one-sided too. But who cares?) "Lo-chan!!You did it Lo-chan!!" "I did it! I did it!Joey!Joey!Did you see??now we can help your sister Trinity!!!" Joey was practically crying. "Yes! I saw saw!!!That's great!!" Everyone was so happy. So happy to see the downfall of Pegasus. And Yugi was so happy that he would have his grandfather back.
How could I lose? My stupid millenium eye!! Her stupid Millenium bracelet!! I know now why the weaker side wanted to leave that to her. He wanted to give her a chance. "Well, well, well.you beat me. I am very impressed." He smirked to hide his shame. "Enough talk Pegasus. I want what I came for." "Then by all means, have it. KEEMO!!" "yes boss?" "bring me the prize money." "ok boss." *he goes for like 2minutes then comes back* "here ya go. 3 million dollars." "ok then. Here you go." He tosses the bag full of money to Lotus. And Lotus hands it to Joey. "here Joey. I'm sure this will pay off for the operation." "you're giving it all to me?! But." "it's your money now Joey. Do what you want. I wouldn't have gotten here with out your help. Actually, wihout anybody's help. No one can do anything alone. And I already got what I wanted." "ok then. Thanks Lotus." "don't mention it. and I'd like to see Trinity too. I am her cousin after all.hey wait PEGASUS!!" "something is missing from my prize. Yugi's grandfather." "yes. If you go straight down the hall, you should find him there."
They all rushed off.
"should go do away with them boss?" "No. leave them." "but, boss, you usually-". "who cares what I usually do?!! I said leave them!!!" "ok boss. I'll go back outside helping the other guard." "yes you do that."
"grandpa?" yu gi asked. His grandpa still didn't wake up. "I think Pegasus didn't give me all I asked for. Oh well. It's ok. I'll bring him back Yug, don't you worry your pretty little head." "huh?" "it's just an expression." "oh ok.i get it. I think." "ok here we go." She slipped off her millenium bracelet and put it in Yugi's grandpa's arm. As soon as the bracelet was off her arm and on his, she fell to the floor, a huge pain in her head. "ahhhhhhhh!" "Lo-chan?whats wrong?" "my head, my everything, it hurts sooo much.ahhhhhh!!" "It's ok. I'm here for you." Bakura bent down to talk to Lotus. "Lotus since when have you worn that?" "since I was 9. since I moved here. Why?OW!!!" "have you ever taken it off?" "No-oww!" "I think I get it." "WHAT? TELL ME WHATS WRONG WITH HER!!!!" "ok ok. Calm down. Yelling wont' help. Since she has had that bracelet for so long and she cherishes it because she believes it's a part of her, she can't live with out it. that's why when she put it on Mokuba she had that huge headache, but she lived because it didn't take long to get Mokuba back." "so that's it? we are just gonna have to sit here and watch my cousin die without doing a thing?" now Joey was crying. "It's....ok...Joeeeee" "don't worry Lotus. You saved me twice, now its my turn to help you.i wont let you die. As soon as Yugi's grandpa comes back, we'll put it back on you and then you'll be ok again." Mokuba said reassuring her, but knowing it ouldn't happen. "no....it can't..by the time.......he comes back...I'll be gone" "Lo-chan?!?!stop that I wont let you!!!" "Kaiba-chan?...I am sorry for the trouble...I caused you...the pain I put you through." "me? PAIN? If anyone, I think you're in pain!!" "ha" she gave a weak chuckle. "Lotus. You don't have to do this. If you come back we can go to Pegasus an make him give my grandpa's soul back!!see? you can both live!!its ok don't- " "yu gi....its all right...I know HE...won't give in if his...life depended on it...before I go... good-byes are in order... Thank you ALL for... helping me... through this... Joey. My stupid cousin... I'll never see you again...but you were so cool... and hilarious...and fun to laugh at...kidding...but I'll miss you. Mokuba...you are so cute...try and stay out of trouble...for me ...and don't give...kaiba-chan a hard time...and...Kaiba-chan?" everyone thought they might've wanted to be alone for a while so they all walked off into a corner.
"Kaiba-chan...I wish I had...more time to tell you...just how I feel...about you...but I only have...a few minutes...I want you to keep... the millenium bracelet...and tell my mom...everything..AHHHHH!!! No no I'm fine...I can see yugi's...grandpa coming around...my last words...are... ahhhhhh.I LOVE YOU KAI-" it was too late. Her hand dropped from his and fell with a soft thud on the floor. From then on, Kaiba has worn the braclet of his only true love, and he feels her presence with it.no one will forget her and the sacrfices she made for the people she loved. Now they all know the Secret of the Lotus Blossom.
