The dark magician
The trophy was so shiny, and I had the trip to battle island to look forward to!!! I looked into the crowd, my grandpa was there, joey was there and so was tristan and tea!!! Even bakura was there cheering me on!!! I was the greatest duelist of all, the feeling was great
"Hey yugi"
I watched as pegasus handed me an envolope which contained my tickets for battle island
"Yugi!!"
I looked again into the crowd and noticed my vision started shaking, and they started getting blurry
"wake up yugi"
No!!! I had won I cant leave,
"wha" I woke up with a jump to see my grandpa standing in front of me "Its time for school" he said but if you don't want to go so soon after the tournament its ok!!
No no I said I will go,
When I arrived at school I met up with Tristan
heya little buddy, you recovered yet he said warmly
I guess theres no point dwelling on it, and at least joey won!! I'm happy for him.. really
That's not what he thinks, yug hes gone to battle island and you never even said goodbye to him!!!
Well maybe im a bit frustrated. but I just didn't feel like talking to him recently I said honestly.
Maybe so but he won and you have to accept that
I know I muttered but im the one who thought him everything he knows, so why do I gotta be the one who loses?
Before he could answer tea approached us with a worried look
Whats wrong I said changing the subject
You remember preston from the tournament? She said
We both nodded
Well hes here in the school and I think hes in our class!!!!
What I blurted out that's the last thing I want, I lost the tournament the last thing I want is to not be the best duelist in the school
Don't sweat conforted tristan you're much better then that twerp.
Later on in maths class I realised that tea was right and that preston was going to be in my class, that was all I needed, I also had to put up with taunts from other guys in my class, along the lines of "how could you lose to wheeler?" Everyone tought I would do well in the tournament but I lost.. And now I was no longer respected as the best duelist in school, especially when preston dueled gary bishoun a hotshot duelist who won his duels by intimidating his oppenents and cheating, though nobody ever caught him. I remember the cheers I got when I defeated him, it was the first time he was ever beaten. but now prestons beaten him, everything that I held now belongs to preston, maybe I should just give up the game altogether
Wow that preston guy is the best thing since yugi muto!!! Said a spectator
Triston walked up to me and calmy said "woah did you see the duel!!"
I handed tristan my deck, here its yours and I ran off and out of the school.
When I reached my house I rushed upstairs and lay on my bed. I took the one card I had kept out of my pocket. It was my dark magician, the card my father had given me before his unfortunate accident, he said that it would remind me of him.
"im sorry dad, I could never be the great duelist that you once were"
ahh but yugi said a voice your father would be proud of you
I turned round to see my grandpa with a warm smile
You know he continued your father wasn't always so confident
He wasn't
No he, in fact when he was about your age he wanted to give up the game as well!!
And what happended I asked raising myself from my bed
He realised that there is more to duel monsters then winning if you want to be a truly great duelist you must accept the victorys and the defeats. Do you see?
I think I get what your saying grandpa I said
You know what your father always used to say?
What?
A dueling victory is worth a million dollars but a friend is priceless.
Oh I muttered you mean joey
Grandpa nodded and walked out of the room
I do miss joey.. But hes far away now, I may never see him again and all because of that stupid tournament, damn that roulette spider, why couldn't it land on joeys life points.
I heard a knock on the door and watched as tristan and tea walked in and sat beside me.
Yugi tristan began I cant accept your deck, even if don't want to duel again at least keep it as a reminder of all your great duels.
Tristan handed me back my deck, thanks tristan I responded, but I wont give up dueling, I cant give up dueling.
Yami? Began tea
No Its more then yami anymore, in fact its even harder having yami then being alone. ater the duel I couldn't help think what if I let yami duel in the final instead of me, maybe I would have won then
Yugi you cant think like that began tristan like what if.
A knock on the door interupted tristans speech
Come in I said
My grandpa walked in weilding a letter
Yugi you have received a letter and it says it is from battle island!!
Woah!! Jeoy I said happily
I ripped open the letter and read it out loud
Dear yugi, Hey how ya going man, you never said bye to me when I was leaving, I was kinda dissapointed not to see ya there. We havent spoken since the duel, im sorry you lost and I never got to thank you for cheering me on after you were knocked out I thought you would like to know what battle island is all about eh? Well you can play your duel cards anywhere on the island, kinda like the video game kaiba invented!! Well anyway its not the same without you guys, It would be much better if ye could make it to battle island, and im sure ye will some day Until then, see ya!! Joey
Wow it sounds like joey is enjoying himself I said
It seems like he misses us though eh? Said tristan
You know said grandpa you could maybe find another way to get there
But how I said
You will think of something yugi, your father always did.
Later that night , I stared at my dark magician card. this was the one my father always said to turn too if im lost and need direction.
The next morning i had come to my conclusion, i couldnt just site here and wait for something to happen i had to take action, i slung my bag over my shoulder and placed my cards into my pocket. i announced my plans to my granpa, which were followed by no objections.
I was about to walk out of my granpas shop when he stopped me and presented me with a card
This is a brand new card, only published last week. Its is called the volcanoe warrior. it is a very powerful card, and very rare too!!! i hope it will help you on your journey, and myabe it will remind you that i am thinking of you back home, good luck yugi!!!
Thank you, grandpa, thank you so much!!!
I walked out of the card shop, ful of anticipation , but tingling with a snese of excitement.
Yugi said a vioce behind me
I spun around expecting to see tristan or tea standing there but instead it was preston.
Are you off to the battle island he asked
Yeah, why? i said coldly
Yeah, well im off to the battle islands too, i wont let one duel run my chance and even if i have to swim there im going
Yeah well best of luck to you i said turning my back on him, im off i said
I walked away not looking back.
