The Legend Of The Millennium Keeper
Chapter 1: Visions Of Darkness
Yugi, Tea, Joey and Tristen are at Yugi's Grandpa's shop. Joey has lost once again to his best friend.
"Ah man! Come on Yug... Couldn't you just let me win once?" Joey complains.
Yugi laughs, "Then it wouldn't be a game anymore Joey. You need to lose a few games to get better. If you have everything handed to you on a silver platter then you won't get anywhere in life."
"Man... Why do you have to turn everything around," Joey sighs.
"Oh come on Joey. You're great at Duel Monsters. You're just not as good as Yugi," Tea says.
"I'd probably lose to you too though Tea," Joey says.
"Ya right... I don't know enough about Duel Monsters to play a baby," Tea says with a giggle.
"Don't worry about it Joey. You keep improving and you'll beat me some day," Yugi smiles.
"Maybe," Joey says putting his hands behind his neck and yawning, "It's getting pretty late. I gotta get home."
"Ok then, see you at school tomorrow Joey," Yugi says.
"Wait for me... I'll walk with you," Tristen says.
Joey glares at Tristen, "I don't need a babysitter."
"Oh lighten up Joey... Tristen's just looking out for you," Yugi says.
"Besides... I live a block away from your house duffus," Tristen says.
"Humpf," Joey says as he walks out the door with Tristen following.
"Well... I guess I better head home too. Bye Yugi," Tea says as she starts for the door.
"Bye Tea," Yugi smiles.
(Why don't you just tell her?) Yami asks.
(Tell her what?) Yugi asks.
(Never mind,) Yami says with a sigh thinking to himself, 'He needs to convince himself before he tells Tea how he feels.'
"I'm going to go to bed now Grandpa," Yugi calls.
"Ok Yugi. Goodnight," Solomon Moto replies.
Yugi heads upstairs and gets ready for bed. He looks out the window for a few minutes thinking to himself. Yami is silent in his soul room. A shooting star flies by and Yugi closes his eyes, 'I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight... I wish Tea felt the same way I do...'
Yugi smiled, opening his eyes and got into bed. He closed his eyes once more and sleep soon found him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Keep running! Don't stop and don't look back!" Yugi shouts. He looks back to see the creatures are still pursuing them. They will not give up until they have them. Yugi looks to his friends as they run. They are all exhausted and can barely stay on their feet. Yugi knows he has to do something, but he doesn't know what. He looks at the millennium puzzle hanging from his neck. The puzzle suddenly begins to glow and he looks at his hands, as they are no longer his hands. He has changed to his larger more independent form. Yami has taken over.
"Don't let them escape!" shouts a voice from the crowd of monsters.
"Keep... running!" Yami says to the group.
"I... I can't," Tea cries as she collapses to the ground.
Yami stops and turns back kneeling by Tea, "We can't stop now... They'll destroy us if they catch us."
Tristen, Joey and Bakura turn back as well joining the other two.
"I say we fight em!" Joey growls.
"Are you insane?" Tristen asks.
"No, but I'm tired of running like a frightened dog with my tail between my legs," Joey says.
"We can't run anymore. We don't have the energy," Bakura says.
"We don't have the energy to fight either," Tristen says.
Yami stands up and looks at the group of monsters as they catch up and stop in front of the group.
"Giving up finally?" the voice says again.
Yami clenches his fists and looks up at the one who is talking, "We will never surrender to you... Shadow Realm Dragon."
The dragon just laughs, "It would be so much easier if you would just hand the keeper to me. That's all I want young Pharaoh."
"Never," Yami says in a calm, serious voice. He glares at the giant black and red dragon as he walks in front of his friends.
The dragon seems to smile; it's large sharp-yellowed teeth glinting in the faint light of midday. The dragon slowly opens his large black wings, the sharp claws on the ends ready to draw blood. He brings his long red tail forward letting the sharp points on the ball on the end hang inches from the young Pharaoh's head. Yami stands there, not even flinching as the dragon licks his black lips, letting several drops of drool fall to the ground in front of him. The sand seems to melt under the weight of the oozing liquid.
"Gross," Tea exclaims as Tristen helps her to her feet.
"Be careful Yug," Joey says.
"Don't worry. I'll be ok," Yami says.
"I wouldn't make promised you can't keep young Pharaoh!" The dragon shouts as he brings his claws forward slashing at Yami.
"YUGI!" his friends shout.
Just as the claw is about to hit him it stops. Yami goes wide eyed as the claw drops to the ground as if it weighs more then the earth itself. The dragon roars in pain backing up from the young pharaoh and holding what's left of his arm.
"What the...?" Joey says staring at the injured dragon.
"What happened?" Tea asks.
Just as the words come out of her mouth a bright light floats up from the ground.
"It... It's you again," Yugi says as he reverts to his normal self.
"Beware the dragon. He will return. He can only be destroyed by the death of that which created him," the glowing sphere says.
Suddenly all the other monsters come running at the group roaring and slashing and attacking with everything they have.
"No!" Yugi shouts as a blue eyes white dragon brings its claws out at Tea slashing her across the chest and causing her to fly backwards. Tea's body falls to the ground in a puddle of her own blood... dead.
Yugi backs up as tears well up in his eyes. He looks over to his other friends who are also backing up from the monsters.
"No one shall survive the wrath of the Shadow Realm Dragon!" the dragon yells as he flies over the other monsters... fully recovered.
"No," Yugi cries as he backs up more, (Yami... Please save them.)
(Why should I? Why can't you save them yourself? Why do you have to be so weak and frightened all the time? You don't really want them saved anyway do you Yugi?) Yami says in an evil, cruel tone.
(What? Yami? Why?) Yugi stammers.
(You're weak,) comes Yami's voice sounding farther away this time.
"I'm not weak," Yugi cries.
Suddenly everything seems to melt and shift and swirl together... all but Yugi.
"Yugi!" Joey's voice shouts as the world melts into blackness.
"Joey? Tristen? Bakura?" Yugi mumbles as he looks around through his tears.
"Help us Yugi!" comes Tristen's voice.
"Yugi! Help!" comes Joey's.
"Where are you!? Joey! Tristen! Where are you?!" Yugi cries out franticly looking all around.
"AHH!" comes Joey's voice all of a sudden.
"Joey? JOEY!" Yugi shouts as he runs through the darkness into more darkness.
"There's nothing left young Pharaoh... No one left," comes the dragon's voice again, "You've failed them... Failed all of them. They're all dead... because of you."
"No... No... This can't be happening... TEA! JOEY! TRISTEN! BAKURA!" Yugi cries out.
Suddenly a figure appears before him, "You let us die Yugi!"
"J.. Joey? But I... I never..." Yugi starts.
"You let us die," the ghostly Joey repeats.
"I never meant for... for this to happen," Yugi stammers.
"You let us die Yugi. You never really cared," came another voice.
Yugi turned to see the dead figure of Tea glaring at him.
"You wanted us to die," comes another voice.
Yugi turns once more to see the ghostly figures of Tristen and Bakura.
"I... I'm... I'm so sorry..." Yugi says through his tears.
All the figures point at him, "You let us die Yugi Moto... You let us die."
"No... I tried... I tried... I tried..." Yugi cries out.
