The Angel of Light: Part Two
Serena turned her head sharply to look at Tristan, a serious expression on her face. "He brought the spells and creatures on the cards to life? That is definitely not good. The fragment of chaos that.took residence in his ring must be more powerful than the other. Pegasus may have been able to seal souls and read minds by manipulating his Millennium Eye, but even he could not create monsters." She was worried. Yugi could tell, even though she hid it well.
"Yugi!" Everyone turned around to the source of the shout. Mokuba's head appeared over the edge of the railing, with Kaiba standing beside him, his usual stony expression on his face. "Mokuba! Kaiba!" Banishing his thoughts of trouble for a moment, Yugi smiled, glad to see the Kaiba brothers awake again. You might want to tell them about what's been going on. Yami spoke in his head. Kaiba may dislike you, but even he will not want an evil like Chaos around; especially if it is a threat to his brother.' 'Your right' Yugi told him. "Come on down here you guys! There's something that you really need to hear." Kaiba looked as if he would rather leave the castle, but Yugi could hear Mokuba persuading his brother to come down. "At the very least, Yugi can tell you what happened," they heard him say. His death glare still on his face, Kaiba reluctantly followed Mokuba down the stairs and over to where Yugi's group was waiting. "So Yugi, who's your new friend, and how did you defeat Pegasus?" Kaiba asked, without waiting or thanking him for saving his brother.
Pegasus groaned as pain lanced through his head. A memory tickled at the back of his mind. Everything seemed kind of hazy. He didn't really remember anything very well since his trip to Egypt. He had been searching for something to bring his love back to him: a magic he had heard about. He had found it: the Millennium eye. That was where things got confusing.
He had started to have strange blank outs, and the rest of the time everything was kind of fuzzy; as if he were only half there. Several faces stuck in his mind, which, with a little thought, he was able to put names to. A brown haired boy with a scowl on his face who he remembered as Kaiba, and a younger boy with long black hair who he believed was named Mokuba, and was related to Kaiba. The angry way the boy looked at him in his half there memories suggested that relations between them were. strained to say the least. Then there was the blond/red haired boy. In his memories, it seemed almost as if there were two of them. He didn't think they were really friends either, but he wasn't sure. The duel memories he had of the boy made things even more unclear than they already were. The only other face in his mind almost made him decide that he was dreaming. It was the face of an angel. The only one who could compare was his wife, yet the two were completely different. His wife's face and eyes had shone with innocence and happiness, this other girl, this angel, had eyes which shone with the pain of innocence lost and loneliness. He couldn't help feeling sorry for her, a woman to be sure, but one who had grown up all too soon. She had long silver hair done up in odd looking pigtails, and in the one memory he had of her, she was shouting at him with anger in her eyes, though he almost believed he saw pity as well. Pegasus shook his head. She couldn't know of his loss, or even understand it, so why should she pity him? His memories began to clear, and he remembered some of the things that he had done since getting the Millennium eye. Surely he hadn't done anything to deserve pity? If anything, he would expect to see loathing and disgust in her eyes when she looked at him. Not that it mattered now. Although some of his memories had returned, things still seemed slightly unreal, and he wasn't completely sure that this angel girl existed. He pushed himself out of the bed that one of his servants must have placed him in. After beginning the duel with that blond haired boy - Yugi? - he couldn't remember anything at all. This was one of the complete blank outs he had been having. Perhaps that strange silver haired girl really did exist? Maybe Yugi would know who she was. It didn't really matter in any case. He had to find her. There was something about her. as if she would be the one who would hold the key to helping him get his wife back. Pegasus made his way to the door, supporting himself on the wall. For some reason, he felt strangely weak, as if something had sapped all of his strength. What had happened to him anyway? Had he become ill? Maybe collapsed? That would explain the weakness he felt. He made his way down to the dueling arena. Hopefully at least one of the people he remembered would still be there to answer his questions.
Kaiba didn't believe a word of what Yugi was telling him. The shadow realm? It sounded like something out of a video game. That was what he tried to tell himself anyway, as he brushed off the unclear memories of what had happened after his defeat at the hands of Pegasus. Pegasus holding up a blank card, saying the price of his loss was his soul; the Millennium eye glowing brightly, and then darkness; nothing more until waking up next to Mokuba above the dueling arena with a painful headache. He knew that Pegasus had done something to him. If what Yugi was saying about his grandpa's soul being trapped in a card was true, as were his memories, than as much as he wanted to disbelieve it, than that was probably what had happened. Still, it got to him that he had been so helpless against Pegasus, and even more that Yugi had been able to do what he couldn't. Yugi had been the one to defeat Pegasus and save his brother.
It wasn't really like he hated Yugi. As a matter of fact, he respected his dueling abilities. He did hold a grudge still from their first match however, and he didn't like the fact that Yugi always seemed to beat him in some way. Him being the one to defeat Pegasus was just another in a list of reasons to be jealous - if one could call it that. "Assuming you're telling the truth about this 'shadow realm' and Pegasus' mind reading abilities Yugi, it makes it even less likely that you would beat him. He already had the advantage of knowing all your cards. So what did you do to turn the tables?" Yugi glanced over at the blond haired girl who had joined Yugi's party as if asking her a question. The slight nod she gave him answered an affirmative to his unspoken question. "Well actually Kaiba I'm not the one who actually defeated Pegasus. It was Serena who actually did that." "So her name's Serena then," He gazed at the blond, who had a small smile on her face. "And how do you expect me to believe that she's the one who defeated Pegasus?" Without waiting for Yugi to answer, Serena cut in. "Because Seto Kaiba, Duel Monsters are not enough to defeat someone with magic." "And you're telling me that you can use magic?" Kaiba's tone was sarcastic. "You really expect me too believe that? How stupid do you think I am?" "Why do you insist on not trusting others Kaiba?" Serena asked him, as if she knew everything about him. "Sooner or later you are going to have to trust someone. You will have no choice." Though her voice was gentle, there was a hint of steel in her voice which made it sound as if she knew exactly what she were talking about. "I've had enough of this," Kaiba told her. "Come on Mokuba, we're leaving." He turned his back on them and started to walk away. "But." Mokuba began to protest. With a quick glance at his brother, he shut his mouth and began to follow him instead.
"Well that went well" Joey commented sarcastically, as he turned to watch the Kaiba brothers exit the arena. "Be quiet Joey!" Tea told him, smacking over the head. "It's not Serena's fault that Kaiba wouldn't listen. He's not exactly the trusting type you know." Joey held his 'wounded' head, backing away from Tea. "Ouch! Hey, I know that! I just wish that I could go and drag him back here, you know? That guys attitude always gets on my nerves, even when he's not coming straight out and telling one of my friends that they're lying." "Don't worry," Serena told Yugi. "Seto Kaiba will come to his senses." Her knowing smile seemed out of place on her. She seemed to be only sixteen or so, and was barely taller than Yugi. The knowledge that lay in her eyes contradicted her appearance. 'What must it be like to live as long as she has?' he wondered. 'To live that long with all you're friends gone. I don't think I could stand that.' Serena looked at him as if she could read his mind. "He does not want to listen because he is caught up in his thoughts of how he should have been able to save Mokuba. He doesn't want to admit that he could possibly be anything close to a friend with you." "Kaiba, a friend of Yugi's? Now that's a weird thought. I don't think he's friends with anybody except his brother. Are you sure about that Serena?" There was a slight smirk on Joey's face, telling what he thought of the idea of Kaiba being Yugi's friend. Serena just gave Joey a 'look' that told him to stop being sarcastic 'or else'. Seeing the small blond girl glare at his friend, Yugi hastily cut in before she could whack him with something. "It doesn't matter Joey. Either Kaiba decides to help us, or he doesn't. In any case, we're going to have to figure out what to do about the other Millennium Items. These fragments of chaos that are in them could be serious trouble. Imagine what could have happened if Pegasus had been able to bring the monsters on his cards to life!" "Yeah," Tristan added. "The only lucky break we've had is that even though Bakura had a good deck, it wasn't as powerful as Yugi's, or some others that we've seen. We'd be in serious trouble otherwise. This whole idea of being able to bring duel monsters to life definitely creeps me out. Especially with Bakura having gone all whacko all the sudden." Yugi looked slightly uncomfortable. "Actually Tristan, it wasn't exactly all the sudden. Remember the time we first met up with Bakura in the forest? Well he was already acting strangely then." Tea looked at Yugi with dawning understanding. "You mean that weird dream we all had - about becoming our favorite duel monsters cards - it wasn't a dream?" Giving a weak smile, Yugi admitted. "No, that actually happened. The um. evil spirit in Bakura's Millennium Ring trapped our souls in the cards, and he made Yami duel with us in the shadow realm." "Aw man!" Joey whined. "We just finish dealing with Pegasus and that Millennium Eye of his, and now we have to deal with another person trying to kill us or steal our souls or whatever it is Bakura wants to do!" A slight shuffling noise suddenly caught their attention, and caused Joey to break off his complaints. Staggering slightly into the room and using the door for support was Maximillion Pegasus.
A.N. Hey people! I finally finished this chapter. I bet I kept you waiting a long time huh? Sorry about that. I had a bad case of writers block for a while, and this was more of a development chapter anyway. I wanted to introduce more what was happening with the story; so for you action lovers out there, Gomen ^_^; Anyways, I'll try to get another chapter up, but suggestions are always welcome.
Silver Angel- ::runs off carrying Yugi plushie:: "I got Yugi! Mwaa haa haa! But I'll share, if you read and review." ^_^
