Chapter 4: Beginning of the End
When the stars and moon began to fade into the sky, Gen'in forced herself to stand on her feet for the long day that would shortly take place. With fatigue running throughout her body, she slowly made her way out of the woods and into the open where she looked up at the castle with a proud smile on her face. After a couple of moments of smiling at her accomplishments, Gen'in swallowed her pride for the time being and found herself sprinting up the castle's stairway. At the top of the stairs, the young teenager turned away from the castle doors and turned her attention to rising sun.
"Father, the day that I have fought so hard for us has finally been greeted with a very beautiful sunrise, and I swear upon mother's grave that I shall be victorious. I will defeat Pegasus for the prize money, and I shall save the souls of my friends!"
With her little speech to herself, Gen'in turned away from the greeting sun and entered the castle with great determination and pride. When she entered the castle for the second time, she decided that she should head for the room where Kaiba and Pegasus had duelled hours before. Reaching her destination, she discovered an empty and silent room, which surprised her in the least.
"Where is everybody...?" Gen'in softly whispered to herself.
As her voice trailed off, the young teenager was startled by a familiar yet mysterious voice that came from behind. Alarmed at the voice, Gen'in quickly turned around and what her eyes looked upon surprised her. She saw the two soulless bodies of Mokuba and Kaiba standing beside Pegasus with one on each side.
"My dear, I see that you have arrived early for the finals."
"What in the seven hells do you want!?"
"Why I am preparing for the finals that will shortly take place. Now if you'd be a good girl and keep out of our way because you will only slow down our process forcing me to push back the final's time."
Gen'in released a soft growl before submitting to Pegasus's orders and moved away so she wouldn't be in anybody's way. She watched in silent anger as Pegasus used Kaiba and Mokuba's empty shells for his own will.
"Kaiba boy, write the duelling chart in large letters on that white board over there." Pegasus stated while pointing to a white board that was bolted to the wall.
With his command, Kaiba's empty shell obeyed and began to write down the names of the duellists and the orders they would be duelling. Gen'in observed that the order of the duels were that Bandit Keith and Joey would duel first, then Mai and her, then finally Yami Yugi and a girl named Rethia. With the order of the duels printed in her mind, she turned away from the disgusting sight and headed out of the room and made her way to the entrance. When she arrived at her destination, Gen'in made herself comfortable on the first step and began to talk to herself.
"Pegasus using Kaiba and Mokuba for his own filthy will makes me sick to the stomach. But it's only one more reason to destroy Pegasus in a duel..."
As Gen'in's voice trailed off, Yami Yugi and his friends came into view, and she watched them as they made their way up the castle's long stairway.
"Hey, Yugi look who's up at the top of the stairway!"
As Joey's voice trailed off, his companions looked up towards the top of the stairway and there they laid eyes on the young teenager, Gen'in.
Noticing that the group was looking at her, she turned her attention to the sky where she hoped that they didn't notice her staring at them. As the group of friends neared, they began to race against themselves and with the fast pace they shortly reached the top.
"Gen'in, what are you doing just sitting here?" asked Yami Yugi gently.
"Mokuba and Kaiba's bodies are empty shells now... and he is using their bodies for his own will... and it disgust me..."
"The finals are going to start very soon, let's go inside together."
Gen'in looked up at Yami Yugi, who was holding out his hand, and nodded and reached for his hand. Yami Yugi pulled Gen'in up, and with that they entered the castle full of pride and determination. When the group reached the room where Pegasus and Kaiba duelled before, they discovered their two other opponents; the girl named Rethia and the guy named Bandit Keith. Everyone turned there attention to Pegasus, who was about to give a speech, but Gen'in turned her head away and listened to what Pegasus had to say.
"Kaiba and Mokuba are beside Pegasus... it's to sickening to look at..." Gen'in whispered softly to herself.
"First off, I want to congratulate everyone who has made it this far! But remember you must win the finals to have the right to challenge me! And if you succeed in winning in a duel against me, you prize will be three million dollars! And for the moment you have all been waiting for! Let the duels begin!" shouted Pegasus with energy.
Author's Note: I'm sorry this took so long to post up, but I've been busy writing the sixth chapter, I was just a little lazy to put this up. -_-;; But the sixth chapter is nearly complete, and when you see cards that I place in a person's deck, it's usually made up because I don't know what is in their deck. So Joey, Yugi, a part of Mia's, are ones that I know, but the rest are made up.
