Chapter 2: Grandpa…
Mrs.Bakura was holding her hand to her eyes crying. Yugi asked her, " What happened?" Mrs.Bakura didn't answer. She just kept crying. Mr.Bakura came out from his library. " Bakura has been in the hospital for 3 days," said Mr.Bakura in a shaky voice. " Why?" asked Tea. " Some kid, his name was something like, uh, Mel Bast," said Mr.Bakura. " I knew it!" exclaimed Yugi. His Millenium Puzzle activated and gold and blue light surrounded Yugi. When it was all done he had become Yami Yugi. " Let's go," said Yami Yugi.
***************
" It still seems nearly impossible," said Pegasus, " how was anyone able to defeat me."
Flashback
"I play Exodia," said MaulBeast. I couldn't believe it when Exodia appeared and destroyed me.
End Flashback
" Mr. Pegasus, um, the duelist MaulBeast is here to talk to you," said Croquet. " Bring him in," said Pegasus. Crocke' nodded. " So I can suck his soul out," muttered Pegasus. Pegasus heard MaulBeast at the door and said, "come in, come in." He was preparing his Millenium Eye. But as MaulBeast opened the door gold light surrounded the room. There were some screams of horror went through the entire room. When the screams stopped the light fell and the room was back to normal. But the room was far from normal. Pegasus was on the floor. A shadowy figure next to him putting on the Millenium Eye. Now the shadowy figure had the Millenium Eye, Ring, Anhk, Scale, Tauk and Rod. " Now, Yugi," said The Shadowy figure.
***************
Yami Yugi and his friend reached the hospital and asked at counter, " In what room is Ryou Bakura?!" " In room B-34," said the Lady at the counter. They rushed to the room. They found Bakura on a bed. He looked as if he was dead. " Hey… guys," said Bakura in a weak voice. "What happened?!" asked Joey. " Maul… Beast," said Bakura. " Why I ought to outta!" said Joey angrily. " Joey, I'll take care of it," said Yami Yugi. " Wants me, remember?" asked Yami Yugi. Tea looked over to where Bakura lay. He was sleeping. " Hush," Tea told Yami Yugi, Joey and Tristen. Bakura's doctor, Dr. Haben, and said, " He lost a lot of blood and well I have some bad news." " What?" asked Yami Yugi. " Well… he, um, only has… 1 day of, uh, life left," said Dr. Haben. " No," said Yami Yugi.
***************
Kimo was knocking at the door of Pegasus' room. No one opened, so he opened the door. He saw Pegasus on the floor and rushed over to him. He realized that Pegasus was dead." Croquet, we have a problem," said Kimo over the walkie-talkie.
***************
Over night Bakura had died. Now Mr. and Mrs. Bakura were too sad to cry. Yugi received a letter in the mail that afternoon. It was from Bakura's parents. It read:
Dear Yugi,
You and your friends, Tea, Joseph and Tristen are invited to Bakura's Funereal…
Thank you, for attending (if you can come.)
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs.Bakura
Yugi hurried over to the phone to call Joey. The phone rang and rang but no answer.
Back at Joey's house he was dueling with a kid from school named Hanson Terod. They were dueling. " Okay, I play Pale Beast," said Hanson. " Though luck. I play Baby Dragon," said Joey. " You really think Baby Dragon can beat Pale Beast? Wrong! Attack Pale Beast," said Hanson. " Have you forgotten that Baby Dragon is a Wind type monster? Your little Pale Beast is an Earth type monster, so he is the wrong element. Now Baby Dragon attack!" shouted Joey. Hanson lost 300 life points. " You think your Baby Dragon will change anything? I play Dian Keto the Cure Master to make my life points go to 2700. And now I play Blackland Fire Dragon with Sword of Dark Destruction to boost his attack power to 1700. Now, attack!" said Hanson and Joey's life points went to 658. " Joey do you really think you can win?" asked Hanson. " You destroyed Red Eyes Black Dragon and Baby Dragon, so I can't possibly win," said Joey. Suddenly, the door swung open. " Joey," shouted Yugi, " What are you doing?" " Losing," answered Hanson. " Joey, why are you dueling Hanson? He's a better duelist than I am," said Yugi. " And yes to finish the duel Ookazi," said Hanson and Joey lost 800 life points. " So now your Red Eyes is mine," said Hanson. " What does he mean, Joey?" asked Yugi. " I dueled Hanson, my Red Eyes for his Barrel Dragon," said Joey. Suddenly, Yugi's Millenium Puzzle activated. " I duel for Joey's Red Eyes back," said Yami Yugi. " What will you give me if I win?" asked Hanson. " My Black Luster Soldier," answered Yami Yugi. " Good enough for me," said Hanson. " Now, let's duel," said Yami Yugi.
***************
" Okay, I go first," said Hanson, " and I play Gaia the Fierce Knight and a card face down," said Hanson. " Play Dark Magician. Now, Dark Magic attack!" said Yami Yugi. The dark light hit Gaia and a lot of smoke appeared. But when the smoke cleared Gaia was still there. " What?" asked Yami Yugi. " Well, the card I had face down was Magic Metal Force, to make Gaia the Metal Knight with an attack power of 2700. And since your Dark Magician's attack power is 2500 you lose 200 life points. And now, Gaia the Metal Dragon attack!" said Hanson as Gaia delivered an earth shattering attack to the Dark Magician and Yami Yugi lost another 200 life points. " You now only have 1600 life points," said Hanson. " Go, Curse of Dragon, along with three cards face down," said Yami Yugi. " Do you really think that Curse of Dragon will do you any good? Gaia attack!" said Hanson. " I don't think so. I activated Trap Hole!" said Yami Yugi. " No!" exclaimed Hanson. Gaia was destroyed. " Now I play Monster Reborn to bring back your Gaia the Fierce Knight and I activate my last card, Polymerization, to make Gaia the Dragon Champion," said Yami Yugi. " Now, attack!" said Yami Yugi. " You wasted your turn. I play Copycat to copy your Monster Reborn, and I bring back Gaia the Metal Knight, so your attack only costs you 100 life points," said Hanson and Yami Yugi's life points dropped to 1500. " And now, to make this more fun, I play the Spellbinding Circle to make Gaia the Dragon Champion's attack power 1900, now attack!" said Hanson and Yami Yugi's life points dropped to 700. " Do you really think you can win Yugi?" asked Hanson. " Yes, and the mighty Summoned Skull should help me, along with a card face down," said Yami Yugi. " Now attack," said Hanson. " I play Mirror Force to destroy your Gaia the Metal Knight," said Yami Yugi. Hanson's life points dropped to 1800. " This is far from over you know. I play a card face down in defense mode," said Hanson. " Attack! Lighting Strike!" said Yami Yugi. " I play a card face down," said Yami Yugi. " I play Barrel Dragon and a card face down," said Hanson. " I play a card face down in defense mode," said Yami Yugi. " I activate my magic card, Swords of Revealing Light, Red Eyes Black Dragon and two magic cards face down," said Hanson. " I activate my magic card, Shadow Spell and I De-Spell your magic card. I put Shadow Spell on the Barrel Dragon. Now Summoned Skull attack!" said Yami Yugi. " You amateur! That magic card you put on my Barrel Dragon doesn't effect it so my machine's attack points don't go down and you lose 100 life points," said Hanson and Yami Yugi's life points went down to 600. "Now, Barrel Dragon, attack!" said Hanson. " I don't think so, I play Reinforcements, to boost up its attack power to 3000 so you lose 400 life points," said Yami Yugi. Hanson's life points dropped to 1400. " Very well," said Hanson. " And now to finish my turn. I attack your Barrel Dragon with my Summoned Skull. Now attack!" said Yami Yugi. The lighting hit Barrel Dragon and Hanson's life points went down to 1000. " Too, bad your Summoned Skull won't survive this turn," said Hanson. " What do you mean?" asked Yami Yugi. " The monster that you attack face down in defense mode was the Steel Scorpion, and since three turns have already past your Summoned Skull shall be going bye bye," said Hanson. Yami Yugi looked at his Summoned Skull, which was turning into dust, the same way Gaia did when he was dueling Kaiba. " Now to finish my turn I play Monster Reborn to bring back your Summoned Skull. And to make my final move I play Polymerization, to make Black Skull Dragon. Now, Black Skull Dragon, attack the face down card. Molten Fire Ball attack!" said Hanson. The card face down was the Magician of Faith. " You know what that means. I get to bring back a magic card, and I choose Monster Reborn. And I bring back Gaia the Dragon Champion," said Yami Yugi. " This next card is Catapult Turtle to make Gaia's attack power 3200. And to finish I play Paralyzing Potion on your Black Skull Dragon," said Yami Yugi. " I play Lord of D. to protect my dragon type monsters from any magic, trap or effect cards," said Hanson. " Now, to end the duel. Go, Gaia destroy Lord of D.!" said Yami Yugi. " No! That will make me lose 2000 life points," said Hanson. Gaia reached Lord of D. and Hanson's life points dropped to 0. " Now give me back Joey's Red Eyes," said Yami Yugi. " Never!" exclaimed Hanson. " You give me no other choice," mumbled Yami Yugi. " MIND CRUSH!" exclaimed Yami Yugi as he destroyed Hanson black soul. Yami Yugi grabbed the card from Hanson's deck. " Here Joey," he said as he turned back into Yugi.
***************
Yugi and Joey went to the game shop to fix up the shop because Grandpa would be coming home today from his monthly vacation. " So, Yuge, how much money did you make this past month?" asked Joey. " $ 346.89," answered Yugi. " We can use 100 dollars to buy cards," Yugi told Joey. They split the money 50/50. Each pack cost $5.00. They each bought 10 packs. Each pack brought 5 cards. "Sweet!" said Joey. " Barrel Dragon, Gaia the Fierce Knight, Magic Metal Force, Tri-Horned Dragon, Shadow Ghoul, Seiyaryu, Summoned Skull, Polymerization, Monster Reborn and Change of Hearth," said Joey. " What you got Yugi?" asked Joey. " Garnecia Elefantis, Acid Trap Hole, Rabid Horseman, Skull Knight, Reaper of the Cards, Soul Release and Launcher Spider," said Yugi. " Joey you go ahead and wait in the living room. I'll finish here soon," said Yugi. Joey left into the living room. The bell of the shop rang. " Hello. Welcome to the Game Shop. How may I help you?" said Yugi. Suddenly a Millenium Ring levitated and Yugi's soul was sent to the Shadow Realm. " I sure hope your soul has a nice trip in the Shadow Realm," said MaulBeast as he picked up the lifeless body. " But, your coming with me," he said as he carried Yugi out the door.
***************
Joey was playing a video game in the living room call Ultimate Soldier 2000. " Oh, come on," said Joey as he played the video game. " You'll never defeat me, White Thunder Warrior," said Joey. " D'oh. I can't believe it. I get to level 12 in on play and I die because of White Thunder Warrior. I'll beat him later," said Joey as he turned of the video game. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. " Yugi, answer it," said Joey but heard no response. " Where'd Yugi go? Probably went to the bathroom," said Joey, " Who is it?" " It's Tristen, Tea and Grandpa," said Tristen from outside the door. Joey rushed to open the door. " Where's Yugi?" asked Grandpa. " In the bathroom? I'll go check if he's out," said Joey. He jumped over the couch and opened the door to the Game Shop. He went to look if Yugi was in the bathroom and he wasn't. " This I don't like," said Joey.
***************
Kaiba was out dueling some expert duelist. " Okay, Kaiba, prepare to be smashed! Go, Relinquished! Take away the power of the Judge Man! Now attack the Swordstalker!" said Flash Killer, the guy Kaiba was dueling. Kaiba's life points went down to 1800. " Your, oh, so predictable. I play the Travel Back in Time, Time Machine. To bring back my Swordstalker," said Kaiba. " What a waste of a turn!" said Flash Killer. " Not exactly," said Kaiba, " I offer my Judge Man. This boosts my Warrior's attack power by 400. Now, attack with, Vengeance Strike!" said Kaiba and Flash's life points went down to 50. " Did you really think you could win? Heh. That's a joke. Now to end this duel I play my second Blue Eyes White Dragon. Now attack, White Lighting!" said Kaiba. " How could I lose?" said Flash. Kaiba left was walking by an alley when he bumps into an old man. " Watch where your going, you old fool," said Kaiba. Only when Kaiba is out of sight, does the old man say, " Why don't you watch your dueling deck."
***************
Yami Yugi woke up. Suddenly, Joey came trough the door. " Yugi, I have to get you out of here quick. MaulBeast is almost," said Joey as the door opened and MaulBeast appeared. " Here," finished Joey. " So Joey, you want to save your friend. Tell you what, I'll let him go if you beat me in a duel," said MaulBeast. " Bring it," said Joey. " Joey, you can't win, he has Exodia," said Yami Yugi. " I can still beat him," said Joey. Suddenly, a small duel arena came out of the ground. " Okay, Joey, you're going down. I play a card face down," said MaulBeast. " I play Flame Swordsman," said Joey. " I flip over the card I had face down, Giltia the Knight. Attack that, Flame Swordsman, Soul Sphere!" said MaulBeast and Joey's life points went down to 1950. " And I join Giltia with the Slot Machine," said MaulBeast. " I play Red Eyes Black Dragon. Now, attack that Slot Machine, Infernal Fire Blast!" said Joey and the Slot Machine was vanquished. " Nice play," said MaulBeast as his life points dropped to 1600. MaulBeast picked up a card from his deck. " Hmm, Left leg of the Forbidden One," thought MaulBeast as he glanced at the newly picked card. " I play Spellbinding Circle on your Red Eyes Black Dragon, reducing his attack power to 1700. Now Giltia, attack!" said Joey and Red Eyes was gone. " My-my Red Eyes," said Joey in disbelief. " Okay, I have to keep it cool," he said as his life points dropped to 1800. " Play Baby Dragon and a card face down," said Joey. MaulBeast's Millenium Eye flashed as he saw what Joey was planning. " Joey be careful," thought Yami Yugi. " I attack with Giltia the Knight," said MaulBeast as his Knight ran to attack Baby Dragon. " I activate my trap, Waboku. And Now I play Time Wizard. Use your Time Roulette," said Joey and the hand inside of the clock on the wand started to spin. The spinning went Time Machine, Skull, Skull, Time Machine, Skull, Skull, Time Machine, Skull, Skull, Time Machine, Skull, Skull and Time Machine. " Oh, no," said MaulBeast sarcastically. " Now Giltia's attack power is 1050. And my Baby Dragon has turned into Thousand Dragon with an attack power of 2400. Now Thousand Dragon attack, Noxious Nostril Blast!" said Joey and MaulBeast's life points went down to 250. " I play Soul of the Pure, to recover 2000 life points. Now I have 2250 life points. And to finish my turn I play Gaia the Dragon Champion," said MaulBeast. " Thousand Dragon go to the defensive mode," said Joey. " Now play, Rioku and a magic card face down. Say Bye Bye to half of your life points Joey, that means that my Dragon Champion's attack power is 3500 and that you only have 900 life points left," said MaulBeast. " Now, attack," said MaulBeast and Joey's Dragon was destroyed. " Okay, MaulBeast your monster maybe strong but I will destroy it. First, I play the Summoned Skull. Next I'll play Monster Reborn to bring back my Red Eyes Black Dragon. My next play is Polymerization to make Black Skull Dragon," said Joey. " That's still not enough," said MaulBeast. " I'm not finished. I play Grave Robber to steal Rioku. Now 1125 attack points go to my Black Skull Dragon. Now his attack power is 4325. I also put a card face down," said Joey. " I activate my magic card, De-Spell, to destroy your Rioku. Now Gaia attack!" said MaulBeast as Gaia closed in. " Play the card I had face down, Spellbinding Circle, to reduce Gaia's attack power to 2800. Now, Black Skull, Molten Fireball attack!" said Joey and Gaia was destroyed. MaulBeast's life points went down to 725. " Alright, Joey!" said Yami Yugi. " I play Skull Knight and the Pillager to steal a card from your hand," said MaulBeast. Joey laid down his cards. He had Magic Metal Force, Shield and Sword, Hunter Spider, Soul Exchange and Salamandra. " Think I'll have your Soul Exchange," said MaulBeast. Now My Skull Knight's attack power is 3200 and your Black Skull Dragon's attack power is 2650. Now Skull Knight, attack!" said MaulBeast and Joey's life points went down to 350. MaulBeast had Summoned Skull, The Left Leg of the Forbidden One, Right Leg of the Forbidden One, Exodia the Forbidden One and Share the Pain. He sacrificed Summoned Skull and Share the Pain so he could get 2 more new cards. He placed the two cards in his hand and gave Joey a smirk. " This duel ends now," said MaulBeast. " Oh, no!!!" exclaimed Yami Yugi. " Yeah right," said Joey. " I'll sacrifice my Skull Knight. Now Joey, let's see what monster in your deck can defeat… Exodia!" said MaulBeast as the huge unstoppable monster appeared. " Exodia, Obliterate!" said MaulBeast. Joey's life points went down to 0. " Now, Joey this is the final chapter of your soul," said MaulBeast. " What do you mean?" asked Joey. MaulBeast's Millenium Ring made a small black hole and Joey's soul went in there. Joey fell to the floor. " No! Joey!!!" said Yami Yugi. " Now, for you Yugi. Since your Millenium Puzzle only activates to you, I have to chant a spell so that your Millenium Puzzle will activate with me," said MaulBeast. He began to chant Quehananastavek. As he said it the fifth time, Yugi's Millenium Puzzle rose over Yami Yugi and began to glow green. Yami Yugi grabbed a glass that was on the left of him and threw it at MaulBeast's forehead. MaulBeast fell to the floor with drops of blood coming out of the parts the shattered glass had ripped through. The Millenium Puzzle stopped glowing and fell to Yugi's stomach. " Okay, now that I got that over with, to get out of these chains," said Yami Yugi. He tried with all his strength to break the chains until he finally did. His biceps were sore from all the pressure on them. He used the power of his Millenium Puzzle to bring back Yugi's and Joey's souls. " What? Where am I," asked Joey. " Let's go, Joey. We don't have much time before MaulBeast wakes," said Yami Yugi. Joey got up slowly then made his way through the door. Outside they were in a mountainous area. " Where are we?" asked Yami Yugi. " You're going down," said a voice behind him. Yami Yugi and Joey slowly backed away as they saw it was MaulBeast with a 3ft. Long sword. It was sharper than a tooth of a Great White Shark. " Uh, Yugi, got any bright ideas?" asked Joey as he was pulled from behind and hid behind a hill. Yami Yugi couldn't look behind the hill because once turned around MaulBeast would attack. " Joey?" asked Yami Yugi trying to figure out where he was. Suddenly, sword was thrown from behind and landed in Yami Yugi's hands. " So you think a little sword will protect you?" asked MaulBeast. He sent his sword flying towards Yami Yugi. The 2 swords clashed. " Are you ready to go down?" asked MaulBeast as he sent another strong blow. Yami Yugi blocked it again. " You won't block this," said MaulBeast. He sent a blow so strong, it sent Yami Yugi flying almost of the cliff. He had lost the grip of his sword and now the sword was 2 meters away from him. MaulBeast raised his sword ready to stick it into Yami Yugi's stomach. Yami Yugi closed his eyes. He felt the sword release, stab something, then the thing that had been stabbed fell to the ground. Yami Yugi was happy, for the moment. Yami Yugi opened his eyes. He turned back into Yugi. " Grandpa!!!!!" exclaimed Yugi. Grandpa was on the floor bleeding. Grandpa had been stabbed. " Yugi… shadow… win…faith…w-w-world," said Grandpa as he died. " Grandpa? Grandpa? Grandpa!?" said Yugi waiting for Grandpa to answer. There was no answer. Grandpa was dead. Yugi realized that his Millenium Puzzle was gone. He looked into the horizon. There was a bright light headed towards Yugi. The light surrounded the world for a few seconds. When the light faded, the world had turned into ancient Egypt.
