Serial Experiment 00: Yami Yugi

Layer 02: Darkness

Present day

Heh

Present time

Ahahahaha

The frost is falling

It falls onto my body

My eyes

My eyes are torpid under the frost

The raven will come crying

"New! News!

Assemble your decks!

Play to be the best!"

I shall not hear

Dark magic returns

There runs a wire fence

To imprison this soul

I shall never see

My Pharaoh again...

Yami Yugi lay face-up on the grass, staring up at the passing clouds. The Wyred. So cold, so dark.

So empty.

"How could anyone like the Wyred?" Yami asked himself.

(Everyone. They kill themselves to leave your worthless reality. They love their fantasies. They want to stay because they love it. and they increase its power. Darkness is just there.)

Yami sat up and looked around. Who the hell? Did the Wyred exist in the real world?

Why?! Why can't I disconnect?!

(You are part of the Wyred now.)

No!!

(Worship me.)

You have no power over me.

(What-?!)

Present day...heh

(?)

Present time...

(NO!!!!)

Ahahahaha!!!

*Disconnecting from the Wyred*

Anthy fell back from the holographic screens projected around the room. She landed face up in an inch of liquid carbon---the coolant for her enormous computer that was her room. Her eyes were wide, and wires were tangled around her arms and legs. The Wyred...there was something there.

Something evil.

But she was alive...she was free.

Anthy stood up and went outside. It was warm. It was pretty.

It was real.

Then she bumped into Ryou and his yami, Bakura.

"You're alive!" Ryou shouted, hugging her.

"Of course I'm alive. Why wouldn't I be?"

*After a very long explanation*

"Great. Everyone thinks I'm dead. Interesting."

Anthy invited them into her room. They gasped. It looked like the innards of one giant computer. Liquid carbon was running throught green pipes as a coolant system. There were four...no five different screens floating like holograms over the air mattress that Anthy was normally sitting on. She smiled at them, but Bakura pulled his aibou towards the door. Anthy didn't care that they had left. She sat down on the mattress and let ten different wires plug themselves into her body.

"How could anyone like the Wyred?" Yami asked himself.

(Everyone. They kill themselves to leave your worthless reality. They love their fantasies. They want to stay because they love it. and they increase its power. Darkness is just there.)

Yami sat up and looked around. Who the hell? Did the Wyred exist in the real world? He looked around and only saw nothingness. He was dreaming again. And the Wyred was now in his dreams.

This was not a good sign.

@@@

Spoiler?

"Yami...Anthy is alive, and she says that she wants to meet you at the new dance place on the other side of town."

That seemed to perk Yami's spirits. He got ready in an instant, and waited on the corner for her to show up.
