Card Mishap
By Draco Starbo
Author's Notes: Hi! Anyone out there? I hope so. You know, it would be freaky to find out that all those people we think we chat to on the net are just cleverly designed by some freak just to fool us into thinking we were really having cyber s-*cough* I mean, really having a conversation with someone half way around the world. Heh, right, conversation. . . .Anyhow, mind out of the gutter! This is my very first Yu-Gi-Oh fic and I haven't watched the whole series, please go easy on me. Pretty please?
Disclaimer: Of course I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of the characters; I just manipulate them to my will. ^^^ I do own, though, Barker and Riverting (River-ting) are my characters, so back off you law suits! =)~
CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTOIN
"All right," Tristan Taylor exclaimed, "Yugi's gonna win this!"
"Go Yugi!" Téa Gardner "You can do it!"
"Yeah, beet that basket case back to the rock he crawled out of!" Joey Wheeler added.
//Thanks for having confidence in me guys. I won't fail you//, Yugi thought before turning his full attention onto the duelist before him. The duelist, Barker, had challenged Yugi to a duel and Yugi had rejected him because Yugi was off to see Grandfather for the first time in a month (he went on a fishing trip with some old friends). Barker was never turned down for a duel, so he had his gang capture Joey, Tristan, and Téa. In order to get them back, unharmed, Yugi had to beet Barker in a duel. It was really savage and they had tried to get free first without forcing Yugi to battle, but Barker was nuts and made sure his gang held them tightly as possible. So, with no other choice, Yugi brought out his deck.
It had been a long and hard battle, and both of them were down to fifty Life Points. Barker had done something to distract Yugi's concentration at first, but his friends spotted it and helped Yugi get back to his usual dueling self. Barker had shouted for them to be gagged, but the gang had nothing to do it with, so they were able to cheer for Yugi. (Well, not true. The gang didn't like what Barker had become, so they're helping Yugi out in anyway they could. Once the battle was over, who ever won, they would let the kids go and leave Barker.)
//Barker is a good duelist, but he spends too much time trying to play tricks instead of fighting.// Yugi recalled the many trap cards and magic cards Barker set up to make up for his lack of monsters. They were all well picked and each one served a purpose, no matter how unlikely it seemed to Yugi and his friends. Barker was almost as good as Yugi. He even had the Dark Magician under his control for most of the game.
"And with the Dark Magician free from your grasp," Yami sneered with mischief in his eyes, "I'll attack your-"
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha," Barker laughed, looking very proud of his self, "Go ahead, Yugi, try to attack my monster! You won't get a scratch on my Thousand Year Old Dragon!"
//Argh! Why is he so confident?!// Yugi stalled for a moment, wondering what was up Barker's sleeve.
"Don't listen to him, Yugi!" Téa shouted. "He's just messing with you again! You can beet him; we know you can! We have faith in you!"
//Téa's right! I can't let him fool me anymore!// "Dark Magician, attack his dragon!" The Dark Magician rose from his crouching stance, and flew towards Barker's dragon. "I call upon the trap card Dark Ring!" Barker turned a card over and a dark ring surrounded the Dark Magician and held him in mid air.
"The Dark Ring!?" Yugi asked, shocked. I've never heard of that card before!
"The Dark Ring is a very special card," Barker chuckled as he watched the Dark Magician struggle in a ring of black energy. "It's really one of a kind, trapping any monster in its grasp and taking all of its energy and letting me add to my Life Points or any of my monsters on my turn!"
Gasp all around for Yugi and his friends.
"This isn't good!" Téa exclaimed sorrowfully.
"And sense your Dark Magician won't have any energy left, that means I destroyed him," Barker went on, laughing on the inside at their demise. "Any last words before I win, Yugi?"
"Yes," Yami glared. Seeing Yugi in trouble, he took over to help. Lately, he hadn't been helping his alter, innocent ego so Yugi could get better at Dueling on his own. But this was a too important battle to loose, unbeknown about the gang's rebellious plans. "It isn't the end of my turn, which means you haven't won yet."
"What?!" Barker glared.
"You said that the energy will be drained on your turn, which means I haven't lost yet," Yami smirked.
"Blast it! Most people wouldn't realize that and I could go ahead with it!" As Barker fumed, Yami reached for the next card on the deck, silently praying along with Yugi to the heart of the cards to let him win, for his friends. //Ah-ha!// "I play the Reserve Trap magic card!"
"What!? No!"
"All right!" Joey jumped - well, tried to, but was held down by the gang. "With the Black Ring off the Dark Magician, he can attack and win this battle!"
"This, this can't happen!" Barker shouted frantically. "Don't do it, Yugi!"
"Too late," Yami chuckled as the Dark Ring let the Dark Magician drop back onto the field.
But before Yami could command the Dark Magician to attack, the ring started to act funny. It shivered violently and then made a small shrieking noise, like a far away woman in pain. Small, purple lighting bolts started to come out of it and it shrank slowly at first.
"I'm out of here!" Barker screamed and jumped down from the dueling ring, running like a scared rabbit towards the door.
The gang, though no longer the gang of Barker, weren't fools. The only thing that could get Barker to run away from a battle is if something threatened his very life.
"Hey, where are they going?!" Joey questioned angrily. "I was just about to kick their butts!"
"Right," Tristan rolled his eyes, and turned his attention back to Yugi, who looked confused and frightened. The Black Ring was almost as small as a baseball. "What is it doing?"
"I don't know, but I don't like it," Téa mumbled, stepping away from the dueling ring. "Maybe we should leave."
"I'm all for that! Yug', let's go!" Joey was already half away to the door.
"Hey, wait for us!" Téa ran after Joey, followed by Tristan.
Yugi, Yami have already left the scene, jumped down from his spot and was only a few steps behind his friends. The Dark Ring had seemed to reach its smallest state of being and with a loud crackle, snap, and screech, the mass of dark energy flew out in all discretions!
"AAHHHH!!" everyone screamed as the explosive energy washed over their skins, sending one massive wave of shock and burning, like being hit with a lighting bolt - if not ten lighting bolts. The pain only seemed to get worse and soon they stopped feeling, stopped hurting. They were just in a vast blackness . . .

A/N: Well, well, what you think? Hmm? Please, PLEASE tell me! I write for pleasure, but I also write pleasure of others! Oh, and to piss them off a couple of time. ^_~ lol. So, please, let me know! Yeah, this is only the intro, but any feedback is good feedback!
