Yu-gi-oh

Chapter 1

Past and Present By Colleen

10,000 feet up in the air, Sara sat and thought of the

death of her father. Every night the same dream of the

man with the white hair and the thing in his eye came

to her. He smiled eerily and said, "I am coming for you Sara Powers and

there is nothing you can do about it." He smiled again and left. Sara thought, shuddering of what her reaction to this ream normally was. She usually

found herself on the floor with sweat coming down her

cheeks mingling and becoming indistinguishable from her tears. She closed her eyes and thought about her painful memories. How could the death of

her father happen? Who was the guy in her

nightmares every night? She then had a flashback of

one of the few hundred times her father played poker

with his friends out in the living room. She would

climb down the stairs and listen to her father tell

jokes to his colleagues from work. Some of them she didn't

understand but most of the time she got the gist of. She smiled happily thinking of how this was her favorite night, poker night. Then a frown shot across her face and her fists clenched as she remembered the night. The guy in her sleep was

there making drinks in the kitchen for the rest of the players. She saw his hand slip something into the drinks and an evil smile on his face. She had run away after that. The guy probably

poisoned my father and grandfather! She remembered on

the news about all the colleagues in S.E.C.R.E. T inc.

dying the next day. Knocked back to her senses by a sharp lurch,

she promised to have revenge and kill the man who

killed her father and her grandfather. She looked at

her mother. She coughed and looked pale. Sara was

afraid that she might too leave her. She couldn't help

but start to get mad. Why did everyone she love leave her? The plane finally landed. They

got their luggage and went to their new home. Sara moved her stuff into her room and flopped on the bed. Before she fell asleep she thought about the

school she would be going to. She didn't expect to

meet any new friends because of the previous events

that took place. In fact the only friend she

remembered that was still alive was her best friend

Morgan who moved two years before her. She tried and

remembered what happened before that thing killed all

her friends. Some how a dark evil cloud came and

destroyed all the people she loved. She fell asleep, her thoughts troubling her greatly.

She had the same dream of the man with the white hair

and the thing in his eye. This time she was surrounded

by the dead colleagues of her father and the white haired man. She screamed and she ran and ran. She bolted up to the

sound of her alarm clock. She got dressed and

skateboarded to school. She checked her appearance

one more time, getting off her skateboard and gazing at

herself in the hand held mirror. She had long blonde

curly hair and blue eyes. Perfect she thought. Maybe things will be different. She

walked into the school. There were people hustling and

bustling around her. Sara shrunk so as not to be seen and looked for the office. She finally found it and the principal greeted her. "Ahhhhh, Miss. Powers! I'm so glad to

meet you" He smiled jovially as Sara gave a nervous grin. " Now do you have any questions about your classes?" "No Mr. Stevenson" She was walking down the hall as he showed her the way to her classroom. " Well here's your class room Miss. Powers" "Thank you sir." She turned around and walked in. She looked around at all the people

talking and working and she spotted a boy sitting in the back

with pointy blonde and red hair. She looked around some

more and saw an empty desk behind a boy with blonde

silky hair, moderately tan skin, and blue eyes. She

goes and sits down. The boy turned around and shot her a heart-stopping grin. "Hi I'm Joey. What's your name?" " Sara" "Pretty name. Hey you want to be my girlfriend?" Great. Girl-crazy. "Umm I'll have to think about it Joey." Their teacher, Mr. Bell, walked in and began to speak. "Good morning class" "Good Morning Mr. Bell" " It looks like we have a new classmate, Miss. Sara Powers. Welcome! Now getting back to our discussion from yesterday. Who

can give me a short summary of William Shakespeare's

Comedy of Errors? Yes, Sara?" "The story is about two sets of twin being separated at birth one ending up in

Syracuse and one ending up in Ephesus" "Very good Sara! Now who can tell me--" Ding "There's the bell!" "No Homework!" Sara began to walk out of the classroom towards the cafeteria. There was a tall girl with brown hair and eyes standing there. She greeted her and said; " Hi I'm Tea" " Nice to meet you Tea" "Want to eat lunch with me and my friends? You didn't look to comfortable in class." "Umm..." Sara grinned at Tea. Suddenly she felt someone run into her. "Hey watch where your walking Bitch!"

"Hey don't call me a Bitch you Asshole!" "No one calls Seto Kiaba an Asshole! " "Well probably not to your face." "What?!" "They're at each others throats!" Kiaba grabbed

Sara and threw her into a nearby locker. Sara jumped

up ran over to Kiaba and punched him in the stomach

sending him half way to the door. She was mad. The anger of losing her friends compounded its was into the fight. She was hocked up on adrenaline; nothing could hurt her. In the background she could hear kids chanting " Fight Fight Fight!" Kiaba

walks over to Sara angrily and punched her in the

mouth. Damn, she was bleeding. She wiped the blood and then punched him in the

ribs, knocking him out. It didn't last very long. He

woke up all of the sudden she heard a voice ring out, " Kaiba!" "Hi Morgan" he said sheepishly. A tall girl strode down the hallway. She had cropped short black hair with the tips dyed blue. She was wearing a ring with a sword on it. Morgan gasped. It couldn't be. "What did I tell you about fighting? Look at yourself!! Now promise me

you'll never do it again!" "Yes Morgan, I p..p..promise." Morgan smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek, causing Kaiba to blush furiously. She then turned, angry again, on Sara. "As for you missy I don't know why you did but you

should think twice about hurting--" "Morgan?" "Yes?" she looked annoyed

"You don't remember me." Sara looked down as Morgan scrutinized her. Her eyes got big as she let out a happy shriek. "O MY GOD!!! Sara I'm so

sorry! O MY GOD!!" she hugged her and Sara smiled. "Will you ever forgive me?" "Duh!"

" Hey Sara come on!" Tea was yelling at her from the other side of the room. "Be right there Tea! Why don't you come with me?" "Umm" Sara walked over to Tea.

"Sorry for the delay I had a pest problem." Morgan nudged Sara and made a face. " O ya this is my old friend Morgan" "More like her only old friend." Yu-gi looked confused. "Why?" "O because of the--" Sara slapped her hand on Morgan's mouth. " Morgan don't I hear Kaiba calling you?" "Huh?" Sara gave her a look. Morgan understood and said "Oh ok. See ya later Sara." Yu-gi looked even more confused "What was that all about?" "O nothing. Morgan likes to make up stories" Sara feigned a grin. They walked into the cafeteria. " Let's sit down over there." "Ok" They sat down. "O Sara I didn't introduce you to my other friends. This is Tristan, Yu-gi and I think you know Joey." Joey flashed another grin. They talked for a wile and then Yu-gi said, "Oh you guys, the dueling tournament is on

tonight. You want to watch it at my house? You

can come too Sara." Thanks Yu-gi." After school the

five of them walked to Yu-gi's grandfather's card

store. Actually four walked; Sara skateboarded. Half way

down the path she spotted a near by banister she

jumped up and sideways skidded across it doing a 360

at the end. They finally reached the card shop. "Hey

Yu-gi can I use the shops phone and tell my mom where

I am?" "Ok Sara" "Grandfather?" " Hello Yu-gi"

"Grandfather I like you to meet a new friend of mine

her name is Sara Powers. "Powers?" " Was your grandfather's name Dave Powers?" "Yes actually it was."

" I was a close friend of his." "You were?" "Yes. Now how are your folks? I haven't seen your father in the longest

time!" "He's dead sir" "Oh that's awful!" *** That night at Yu-gi's house. " I bet my money on the rock guy." " Ok Sara you're on the stone guy to win. I'm sorry Sara I'll have to disagree with you." "Alright. Ten bucks then?" "You're on!" At the end of the tournament Sara was gloating. " How could I lose?!?!?!?!" "Stop blubbering! Ten bucks please! Thank you!"

She looked at the screen. " Hey Yu-gi, who's that?" " Oh that's Pegasus" That's him? Sara could see his face looming out of the darkness. "I'm coming for you Sara Powers..." "Huh? Sara earth to Sara!" " Oh sorry" Yu-gi's grandpa walked in with a package "Yu-gi I almost forgot. This came in the mail for you today." " Thanks grandpa! Wonder what it is" " It's a tape and a glove." Tristan looked at the contents skeptically. "Hey Yu-gi why don't you pop the tape in and watch it" Yu-gi nodded as he pushed it in and all of the sudden

it became dark blue and black all away around the

room. " It's Pegasus!" "Hello Yu-gi I've heard about your great victory of beating Seto Kiaba so I wanted

to see how good you really were. I put the clock on

for 15mins. Lets begin shall we? I'll go first. Black

Night in attack mode. Your turn Yu-gi. Yu-gi was holding something in his hand and he laid his cards down. "I call upon the Dark Magician!" "Go Yu-gi!" Pegasus gave an evil smile. "It looks like we're out of time. Now I take your grandfather and the next time we

duel Yu-gi I'll have you. "Noooooooooooooo!" Yu-gi screamed as his grandfather disappeared, calling for him. The dimension disappeared. "Grandfather!" Yu-gi started to bang on the T.V. "Yu-gi stop!" Sara ran over to Yu-gi,

held his shoulders and tried to calm him down, but it

was no use. "Please calm down Yu-gi!" "How can I calm down!?" "Yu-gi please I know how you feel! Now calm down!"

"How do you know how I feel!? You don't know anything

about how I feel! " Sara's eyes flashed "Yu-gi. I know perfectly well what

you're going through because my father and grandfather

are gone do you hear me!? At least your grandfather

isn't dead and you can get him back! Mine can't

come back, do you understand?!" " Whoa! Mad Sara alert" " I can't believe you Yu-gi ! Don't ever tell me what I

don't know or don't feel! Now that my mom is

sick I don't know what I'll do if she dies you hear

me!?" Sara fell to the ground, and sitting on her knees

and started to sob. " Sara I'm sorry." " I do know what it's like to lose parents. The funeral is

still clear in my mind." Sara stopped crying. " The only thing you can do Yu-gi is go to the dueling island and win

your grandfather back." "And that's actually what I'm going to do." ***

Eleven o clock at night

Sara walked home and got the robot out of the garage she been working

on for her mother. She packed her bag, wrote a note, fell

asleep on the couch and left early. She roller bladed

to the dock where she was to meet her friends.

She spotted Yu-gi in a second " hey guys!" "Hey Sara" An hour later they were on the boat, ready to leave the dock. "Sara!" "Hi Morgan how are you?" Sara watched Morgan struggle to keep a smile on " Fine, you?" "What's wrong with Kiaba, Morgan?" Morgan dropped the smile and looked incredibly sad. "He lost his company. Pegasus

took it." Her eyes began to water. "Plus he stole his little brother Mokuba!" She began to cry. Sara patted her on the back. "You really like him, don't you." Morgan nodded and wiped away her tears. "I brought and old friend along "she whispered. "Who?" Sara was curious. All her friends were dead. Morgan patted a large, tube-like thing strapped to her back. She grinned wickedly. "YOU DIDN'T!" "DID!" It was Morgan's rapier. She had bought it dull and meticulously sharpened it using stones and knife sharpeners. She didn't use a particular style, but trusted the sword to do its work. They were one. Morgan trusted it with her life, more than once. She winked and walked off What

is Pegasus planning? A fiasco? They finally reached

the island about seven pm. " Man I'm hungry! Lets get

some food! "Ok that's a good idea Joey." It was about 9:00 pm when they ate. After they ate Joey, Tristan

and Tea fell asleep. Yu-gi and Sara were the only ones

up for a while but then 15 minutes later Sara could hear

the silent snore of Yu-gi's breathing. Taking out her hand held

computer she went through her dad's old files and

discovered that the S.E.C. R E..T inc. was the original

designer of the card game after learning of the ancient

monster game that took place in Egypt. She gasped. Her eyes were large and drippy with tears. So that's why

Pegasus killed them. That's what he wants. And he's

afraid I'll find out and tell the world. The next day they walked up the island chatting, while Sara was silent. "Tea!" "Samantha?" "Hey Tea! Wuz up?"

"Not much." "Well see you later I have to catch up with the rest of the squad." "Bye Samantha." "Hey Sara!" "Hi Morgan." "You want to battle me while Kiaba battles Yu-gi?" " Ok, but go soft on me. I prefer swords to cards." The stadium appeared and the both got into there positions. " You go first Morgan." "Ok. I call upon harpies fairy. 1200/1000 in attack mode! Done.

Your turn Sara." "Ok. I call upon Gaia the Dragon

champion.2600/1600 in attack mode! Go Gaia! Destroy her harpies fairy! Only 400 life points left. And I'm

done with my turn." "Ok. I call upon the Spirit of

Wisdom 400/400 in attack mode. Done." "Gaia destroy her spirit of wisdom. You're done Morgan. Star chip please."

"Humph. I don't have to worry I still have one more. The only reason I carry this thing is because it was a gift from Kaiba."

The next few days went smooth until the 3rd day. "It's late. I only need 3 more star chips. "Same here. I'll go get some firewood." *** At Pegasus's castle. "Computer I would like an update on Yu-gi

Motuo and his little friend." Yu-gi motto has 8 star chips and is doing exceedingly well. His Friend Sara

Powers- "What?!?!?!?" Pegasus spat wine out of his mouth.

"Powers?" Yes powers. "Get the back ground on her." "Her father was Tom Powers and her grandfather was Dave

Powers. They both worked for the S.E.C.R.E. T inc.

That's why the name was so familiar. "Guard!" "Yes master Pegasus" " I think we should invite Miss Powers to the

castle." "Ok boss." The guard gave a wicked grin. *** Back in the forest "Ok Sara you go get the wood." After a while of walking Sara took a break and sat down. A hand rested on her shoulder and a voice whispered in her ear, " Hello Miss Sara... Pegasus has been wanting to meet you.." The guard grabbed her mouth and carries her off. She wouldn't stop screaming, so he pressed a chloroform-soaked handkerchief to her mouth. She fainted and when she woke up, she was in a cell. At Pegasus's

castle she was taken forth to him with her arms tied

behind her back. "So your Sara Powers? It's a pleasure.

Do you know whom I am?" "Yes you're the creep that killed my grandfather and father and their colleagues at the

S.E.C.R.E.T inc. Now wipe that smile off your face you sonuvvabitch." Pegasus smirked wider. "My you are a smart girl. To bad your

life has to end so early." He laughed "Send her to the dungeon. Maybe she will talk after her friends abandon her." He smile widely in her face, to which her reaction was to spit in his face. "Yes master Pegasus. Come along now." "I'll get you for this you asshole!" "Now what kind of language is that. Not proper for a young lady. I've got yu-gi right where I want him and now he has to decide between his friend or his

grandfather." He laughed again "Get in there brat." The guard shoved her into a stone cell. "When I get out of here I'll get you first!" "Ha! If you get out of here!" He walked off laughing. She fell to the ground

on her knees. *** Back outside where the others are. " I wonder what's keeping Sara so long." "Don't know maybe she got caught up in something." Yu-gi felt some prickling in the back of his head but he chose to ignore it.

Back at the castle Sara tried to get Yu-gi's attention by psychically

communicating to him. /Yu-gi! Help Yu-gi! MORGAN! Please!/ "Did any of you say my name? " "No" "I'm going to go get fire wood if Sara won't." "Ok. be careful Joey" that night everyone fell asleep except for Yu-gi. Who was calling my

name? Again he heard the voice /Help me Yu-gi! It's

Sara!/

Where are you Sara? /I'm a prisoner in Pegasus's castle

Yu-gi. Please help me!/ I will Sara don't worry.

Yu-gi thought to himself Pegasus planned this now I have a choice between my

grandfather or my friend.
