The Journey Of The Dragon Of Apocalypse

YR: HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! I get to be the main character in my own fic!

VR: Yami, weren't you the main character in ALL your fics?

YR: (turns white, anime style) Oh well, this time, it's better!

VR: .........

It started as any old regular day. School to worry about, the big Battle City tournament in three days, and a new deck to make. When I was defeated by Yugi(AN I'll make another fic about that soon), he taught me relying too heavily on one kind of combo leaves you vulnerable to attack. That Yugi, when I get my hands on him, I'll-

"Master, your breakfast is ready."

"Thank you, Croquet, I'll get it in a minute." But in a minute, I'd be fine tuning my deck.

"I'll just put it here." he said. Croquet, he's almost too obedient. Almost.

I was so wrapped up in my deck that I almost forgot about the perfect strategy to beat that brat Yugi. "Oh, Croquet, how's Father doing?" I asked bluntly. I was also wery worried about Father. After Yugi beat him and took his treasured Millennium Eye-oh well, all the more reason to beat Yugi in a duel.

"He's recovery is going well."

"Good to hear it. Go now, Croquet, I think it's time to feed the prisoners."

"Oh, right. Thanks for telling me."

"Your welcome." Now, to think of my new Duel Monsters strategy. Type, Magic, Trap... My head was clouded with ideas, but one idea stuck out like a black hole in the ground: DRAGONS. Yes, dragons. Let's see....Redeyes, yes..Tri-Horned Dragon, uh huh....What else? My deck needs a surprise in it, one that would blow Yugi and his Pharaoh pal away....

"Got it!" I went straight to my sketch desk and started drawing. Two hours later, I was at Industrial Illusions, creating my new dragons...

"Yugi'll never know what hit him! These new dragons are perfect!"

"Oh, master, it's time for your daily visit to the II hospital." Croquet reminded me.

"Oh, OK, I'll be there in one minute!"

As we strolled into the hospital, we passed rooms with sick and dying employees. But as we got to Father's room, the guard standing outside demanded the password.

"Pegasus." Croquet said.

The guard opened the door and we were then inside Father's operation room.

"Dad!" I yelled as the guard opened the door.

"My son. How good to see you. Oh-here's a gift for you." He handed me some golden gloves with the symbol of the Millennium Item on it.

"A Millennium Item! Thanks-wait a minute, the seven Millennium Items already have owners! And even so, this doesn't look like any of them."

"Well, there are actually more than seven items. You see, when the Pharaoh locked away the magic of the Millennium Items, he also made the Shadow Items. These had the true powers of the Shadow Games. The Millennium Items were doppelganger items that led people to believe that they had true Shadow magic. But, some of the Millennium Items were indeed Shadow Items. Like the Puzzle, the Ring, The Rod, and possibly, the Eye."

"But what makes these items different from the others? And why was your Eye only a possibility?"

"The Shadow Items held ancient spirits inside them. The Puzzle, Rod, and Ring all have dark spirits, or Yamis, inside them."

"And the Eye?"

"It was only a possibility because it had no spirit dwelling inside it. This is a Shadow Item, called the Millennium Gauntlets. Their powers allow you to control the flow of time and you can alter history. Plus, you can bring the card your Gauntlet holds to life."

"Wow, with this I'll surely be able to-"

"Beat Yugi?"

"How do you know?"

"A little birdie told me (points to Croquet)."

"I've fined tuned my deck and I'm going to challenge Yugi right now."

"Beat him, my son."

"Don't worry, I will."

Will Scott ever defeat Yugi?

What dark spirit resides inside Scott's Millennium Gauntlets?

What dragons reside inside his new deck?
