Anubis: Hello there. This is Chapter 3 of The Crown Ordeal!
Sekhmet: The final one before the good stuff comes! Be prepared.
Mortos: Lots of flashback, angst, romance and what we suspect to be mind power blocking...
Enigmae: Please, Mortos, don't give it out!
Mortos: Sorry. Anyway, that I said comes after this.
Horus: In the story's timeline, 3 days have passed since Chapter 9. That would sort out some stuff...
Anubis: And... The ending's not what you expect at all.

CHAPTER 10: Crown me
Monday. The fatidic day of the fucking week.
That thought passed through Tristan and Joey's minds as they were backed up against a wall.
A bully from 11th grade, who looked like he was 18 (that he was, that little slacker) was in front of them.
— So, hand over the necklace and no one gets hurt, you SOB. And about your friend, I need revenge about his little "can of whoopass". —
Tristan had beaten him in Duel Monsters. And he was piiiiissed.
— So, what are you waiting...? — the bully was interrupted...
— Back off and leave them alone, motherfucker... —
The bully turned around and saw Saisyu, clenching his fists and ready to fight.
— So, is Yugi's little boyfriend defying me? —
— Number one: Call me that again and you'll end up as that idiot I walked over last week. Number two: Yes I am defying you, piece of shit. Come and get some if you want. —
The bully launched a fist to Saisyu, who blocked it gracefully. A crack was heard.
— Arrgh! — Saisyu grunted, as he held his broken arm with his hand. What we can't see is that inside Saisyu, sparks fly and the bone is healed. Raize had taught lil' Saisyu a few things...
The bully looked more confident.
— Damn you! — Saisyu said, and the bully just laughed.
Saisyu moved his legs forward...
— ...Just kidding. —
Graceful uppercut right to the jaw. The bully lost balance and fell to the floor, and promptly, Saisyu started walking over him.
— In the end, you get walked over as well — said Saisyu as he approached Joey and Tristan, muttering "Lousy loser."
Saisyu extended his arms to them, offering help to get them up. Tristan accepted, while Joey just stood up.
Tristan looked really beat up. He had a black eye and was missing several teeth. He also seemed to have broken bones. Joey hadn't had a real fight, so he was fine, but just worried. And amazed.
— We heard the crack! How the hell did you move a broken bone? Are you a masochist or what? — Joey was really amazed.
— What broken bone? My arm's fine. About the crack... Tristan, can you take off your coat? —
Tristan looked really startled. But Saisyu has a really great characteristic – People always listen to him. So he did.
Saisyu laid him in the floor, and placed his hand on Tristan's leg.
— Whut thuh hull? Thoithyu, thuth lookth loik a bl- —
(A/N: He said "What the hell? Saisyu, this looks like a bl-")
Saisyu's hands were glowing green. Tristan's loosened leg got in place. He then placed a finger in his mouth, as if shutting him up, and also placed one in his black eye. Suddenly, the black eye disappeared.
— What in the he... Hey! I got all my teeth back! —
Tristan could speak well again.
— Saisyu, I didn't know you could heal people. —
— Joey, there's a lesson I learnt a few days ago, that goes: "In the Bahamas you can learn lotsa good things." —
That sounded SOOOOO TV ad.
(A/N: Narrator, do your job fine, please.)
OK... Anyway, Joey thought the same as me. But they had other things to worry about.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
— And what happened while I was off? — said Saisyu.
— Nothing much — replied Joey, thinking — but there still was something interesting... —
— Joey told us to include Yugi on our circle — said Tristan, not letting Joey finish.
Saisyu was amazed!
— Whoa! That's how I like it guys! So, how have been things with Yugi? —
— He's really cool — said Joey — and he really knows how to have fun. But he is a little shy... Why would that be? —
— Go to his house — answered Saisyu, a little off — and find out... —
After this, he let out a long «sigh».
— I did. —
Seto joined them.
— So Saisyu, how was Bahamas? —
— Not bad — said Saisyu — but I missed you guys. And there's a Pink concert I must go with my girl to. —
* CRASH! *
— What the... —
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the cafeteria (why does everything happen in the cafeteria?), a fight was brewing. A bully had found Yugi, and was getting him hard. He had thrown him at the wall, and he was unconscious.
That's when the 3 arrived.
— Hey, what do you think you're... — Saisyu said, but there was something wrong that only the Shade could see.
— Yugi, answer me buddy! Say something! — Joey was trying to wake Yugi up, accidentally dropping the Puzzle over Yugi...
Yugi-ou!
Yugi (or should I say Yami?) got up and shook.
— Saisyu, is the twist over? I was getting numb inside that thing! —
— It's not, but it will be soon — said Saisyu, as he stood in front of the bully (Whoa, I use this word too much).
— Morphos veritas! —
The Deity form shone, and suddenly the bully started to look like TV snow...
...and reveal his true form as The Crowned White Magic Hat (referred to as CWMH in the future.)
— So you could find me, Carrier of Deity Artifacts. Perhaps you can help me a little surrendering them all before I crush you with my dimension power. Or should I say, dementia? —
CWMH blasted Saisyu. Saisyu ducked, and the blast went fully into the food.
Joey angered.
— Stop it — said Yami — You have done a great deal of damage. I think that it will be best if I seal you out in the Shadow Realm where you belong! —
Saying this, Yami had a 3rd eye in his forehead (the Sennen eye) and moved his hand in CWMH's direction.
— Mind crush! —
The blast hit CWMH full force. But it wasn't doing anything.
The disk in CWMH's back glowed purple...
— It's ready. —
CWMH aimed his hand to Yami...
— NIGHT SHADE, BURN HIM ALL THE WAY TO HELL! —
Yami's eyes blackened after the sentence was finished. He fell to the floor and started convulsing.
— What the...? Yugi! —
— Joey, get him up and restrain him! —
— Don't try to heal him, unless you want him to be stupid the rest of his life. It's better off dead in my opinion. —
— Son of a bitch! —
Saisyu jumped and kicked him in the face, promptly knocking him out.
— Tris! —
Tristan tied CWMH to a table. Face down, of course, because of the black disk.
Saisyu got to Yami. He placed his hands above him, and started healing. It took 2 minutes to normalize him. Then he placed his still glowing hands on Yami's forehead and the back of the head.
— What's that for? —
— To eliminate any brain damage — replied Saisyu, asking Joey with the head to help getting him up.
Joey got Yami up. They sat him in a chair.
— Still no response. What may be causing... —
Joey took a glass of water and poured it on Yami's face. He quickly awoke.
— Man, what was that for? Huh? —
He looked around, shook his face quickly, and got up.
And then, CWMH broke the ropes and left.
— I must go — said Saisyu, summoning his Deity Wings and blasting off again.
CWMH and Saisyu were face to face. They started to attack. Saisyu got a few blows in, but his enemy was sneaky. CWMH fired off a blast, which Saisyu dodged. It hit a department building, blowing it up.
Saisyu blasted a few times. All dodged. CWMH tried once more, failing again.
It was all fire and dodge and fire and dodge and fire and dodge and so on for a while. The blasts, however, impacted on every building in sight. Domino City was becoming Domino Wasteland.
Did they care? Nah.
Saisyu performed a little trick firing and allowing CWMH dodge, just to face more blows on that direction. And the blasts dodged the 1st time impacted from behind.
— Man, he's good... —
Saisyu terminated (or he thought he did) firing a big shot. The blast nailed 5 houses and 3 buildings, including Turtle Game Shop (and escaping from the blast we see the new winner of the Olympic 100 meters plain, Ryouuji Otogi! And it seems that he goes for the 130 meters with obstacles as he goes into the park! Look at him go!) and Kaiba Corp (insert fainting Kaiba here). CWMH returned the fire, crashing Saisyu against... what? 6 blocks. Oh.
Saisyu was pissed.
— YIN YANG DRILL! —
Biiiiiig drill-shaped black and white blast. Nails 7 blocks each second, and nails CWMH right in the nuts... That must hurt.
— AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! —
Yes it did.
— That's for pissing me off... —
Saisyu teleported, and not caring about CWMH's sore nuts, he kicked, punched, and tried to knock out his opponent.
— ...That's for putting my friends in danger... —
...And finished off with a jaw-breaking uppercut and a kick right in the stomach.
— ...And that's just because I wanted to. —
But CWMH was still alive.
He shone in a white light, and was totally recovered.
— What the HELL?! — Saisyu said.
— Seems that you couldn't, but if I stay, I'm screwed. So... —
...He ran away.
Saisyu looked around. He had destroyed a complete city in just a battle.
Thousands of hours, thousands of joules in work, thousands of hopes were crushed down to nothing in 6 short minutes.
...He was devastated. In his desperate attempt to stop CWMH, he had blown off Domino like USA did with Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Or Kaiba Corp like the immentionable 9-11.
...Just 6 minutes...
...and lots of tears of shame in the floor.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yugi, Joey, Téa, Tristan, Seto, Ryou, Ryouuji and Alana all ran to see if Saisyu was alive.
And they found out that he was alive and well. Except for the awful look in his face.
— Man, what's going on? —
Saisyu just lowered his face.
— I blew this city up... I don't deserve this... I just created destruction with them... I am not worthy. —
He took off his Deity Artifacts, and lowering his head in shame, he gave them to Yugi. He then got off.
— Bu... But these... These are yours! —
— Not anymore. — Saisyu then disappeared behind the curtain of smoke and dust.
Everyone looked worried...
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Saisyu sat down and turned his computer on. He logged in on the voice chat and contacted a mysterious stranger...
|| So, how's it go...? Man, why do you look so glum? And where are your Artifacts? ||
— Sir, I failed my mission. —
|| What do you mean, man? Expla- ||
Saisyu closed the voice chat window, turned off his computer, and laid face down in bed, depressed.

Mortos: ...I told you it wasn't what you thought.
Anubis: I said that, not you.
Mortos: Oh, sorry. Anyway, Saisyu has refused to continue his mission... What mission is he talking about?
Sekhmet: That's a thing that we know and you won't... until next chapter.
Horus: Where we go down the flashback lane to Saisyu's childhood, and the high school days. We'll discover his notes in school, his relationship with Alana, and his mission. I seriously hope it doesn't get that long.
Enigmae: Well, there's nothing more left to say than See you in next chapter, and...
END OF THE CROWN ORDEAL SAGA...
...for now.
