Note: No canon characters are in this story except for in the proluge. And even then it is only brief. If you think that any of the characters are Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus, please tell me so that I can correct them. Reviews are welcome, no flames please though, I do get a bit upset and defensive when people flame me. Danke for listening to my ranting.

Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh does not belong to me, if it was Bakura would of never died. However Sui, Tajira, Katsue, Ryo etc do belong to me.

Rip in the Shadows
By VisorSwordsman

Proluge

YamiYugi glared at his opponent, from under the scars and blood soaked clothes he was radiating pure hatred. Across from him, with only the Dark Magician and Great Moth seperating them was Malik. Malik, who now had so much gold covering him he glittered. Six of the seven Millenium Items adorned him. He had fought many duels, tricked many people to get them. Bakura, Isis, Shadi and Pegasus (During a brief attempt to regain his Millenium Eye) were just some of the people he had crushed and sent to oblivion for the magical tokens. Now, all he needed was the Millenium Puzzle, it was a battle for the Universe and both the Pharoah and the young boy who lived with his grandfather knew it.
"Great Moth, wipe out his Dark Magician" Malik yawned, the insect obeyed flapping it's wings, blowing a hurricane. The Dark Magician was consumed before the strong winds forced YamiYugi onto his knees.
"You can give me the Puzzle, Pharoah, it would be easier on you" He chuckled, grinning in a way oddly reminiscent of Pegasus. YamiYugi looked up at him, his face contorted into a mask of hateful wrath.
"I'll be stone cold and in the ground by the time you take this Puzzle" YamiYugi snarled, struggling to his feet.
Yugi, you know what we have to do The Pharoah told Yugi privately.
Yes Yugi replied simply.
Then do it, trust in the heart of the cards and draw the last card The Pharoah commanded. Yugi complied, reaching into his deck and pulling out a card, before placing it on the stone platform without looking.
I hope you are right, the shield around the other four will drop in a minute Yugi muttered. The Pharoah gave a mental nod to reassure him.
"Tick tock tick tock, do you want to forfeit?" Malik asked, starting to grow angry. YamiYugi closed his eyes and turned over each card one by one: A leg, an arm, another leg, a head and another arm.
"I summon" YamiYugi roared "Exodia! The Forbidden One!" The five cards merged together into a whirlpool of white light, and out of it, it's bottom half compressed in like a genie as it rose, came Exodia. Malik stumbled back.
"No! This can't be!" His features hardened "I summon Mimic!" A woman with a mirror appeared, quickly mutating into a copy of Exodia, covered in a silver, reflective substance.
This is it Yami Yugi told him, the Pharoah was silent in his mind.
"Exodia, Obliterate!" YamiYugi yelled.
"Mimic Exodia, Obliterate!" Malik cried, the blasts of energy shot across the arena, meeting in the center and exploding in a flash of white light.
Goodbye Yugi The Pharoah sighed.
Goo- At that moment Yugi, Malik and all the Millenium Items were incinerated, the pointers from the Millenium Ring flew, burning as they went. The Millenium Rod snapped and the Millenium Puzzle shattered in a blast of energy. It was the end of the Millenium Items, it is the beginning of this story...

22 years later

The new Tri-Concorde flew over the land as it came close to the Japanese Airport. Inside Sui Mazako was sorting through her cards, something she did every so often, simply to check they were still there. Duel Monsters was still a popular game, despite it being almost twenty-three years since they were created. Maybe it was because of the new cards being released all the time, maybe it was because of the annual tournaments, plus several others each year. It is at this point irrelevent. Getting back to my story, Sui, like I said, was checking to see her cards were all there.
"Hmm Waboki, Swords of Revealing Light, Buster Blader..." She muttered "Harpy Lady, Elega- wha?" She looked out the window.
"What is it?" Asked a voice next to her.
"Oh nothing, I just thought I saw something" She grinned "Its from looking at cards so much" The boy raised an eyebrow, an gesture that didn't suit his wild red hair, or his piercing green eyes or indeed his personality which was considerably wilder than his hair, he wasn't quite convinced and continued staring at Sui.
"Ryo, its ok, nothing is wrong" She told him firmly. He sighed and returned to looking at his gameboy. Sui took a look out the window again and almost jumped when the grey and red creature whipped past it.
"What on earth!" She cried. Ryo darted up from his gameboy, several other people turned to look at her, but Sui was staring at something else, the orange light in the distance, getting closer, a fireball! The plane shook violently as the left wing exploded. The plane started to move downwards, another fireball was speeding through the air, passengers were dashing across the plane in a panic, Sui gathered up her cards and moved out of her seat, just before another fireball struck the plane, rocking it even more violently. Sui dropped her cards in a panic, she even thought for a moment of picking them up, but dismissed the thought. BOOM! Another fireball, hitting the second of the three wings. The plane was spiralling down now, Sui glanced around her, her eyes finally resting on a group of blue-clad monks by the doors to the toilets. They seemed to be singing and glowing. Another fireball struck the plane, flooding the compartment with blazing flames, Sui felt the flames scald her skin, but she kept staring at the glowing monks, their blue light penetrating the flames, it was then that she blacked out.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEXT TIME: Sui finds that her friends are unable to believe her when she tells them about the monks and the flames. Will she be able to uncover what set that plane on fire? Who the monks are?
----------------------*

So tell mwa what you think! All will be revealed soon.

Heres a Trivia Question, because I care: What card did Anzu use to neutralise the Harpy Lady's Rosethorn whip in her first battle with Mai?

Yours...
