Shadi emerged from infront of Yami as he headed towards Domino Peer, in hopes of
discovering the whereabouts of their latest foe. Who was he?
Normaly rainfall "coincidently" could be seen in times of tragedy but the glaring sun and over
gorgeous surroundings diminished any hopes of that.
Perhaps mother nature considered tragedies as deaths. If the children died, it would probaly rain.
Just the way things are in the world it seems.
With Shadi was Henry, Takato and Rika.
"Shadi!"gasped Yami.
"Yes, we meet yet again Pharoah"
Yami had discovered the night that Battle City was announced that he was
Pharoah. It was less then a week ago, and they had entered at Ichizu's request.
Shadi kneeled before him, Rika, Henry and Takato seemed quite confused.
"Who are these three?"asked Yami.
Shadi stood up, wiping himself off.
The millenium key shielded them from the sight of the public so they wouldnn't
arrouse attention but from their viewpoint you couldn't notice a diffrence.
"Henry, show him"
Henry dug into his pocket and took the card out. Yami read the card and gasped.
"The Winged Dragon of Ra! That's the card that madman wants"said Yami.
"He mustn't have it, if he does it would be catostrophic. This boy is the destined owner of the
God card now, but this card is like no other. The Egyptian God monsters are most deadly, their spirits
remain within the cards. If Henry is to tame this card, he must duel with it. Unfourtanately, he dosen't
know the game of Duel Monsters. Being who you are, I hope you can teach him"
"Me?"asked Yami.
"Yes, you are the king of games after all"said Shadi.
Rika didn't like the sound of that but kept her mouth shut. If this was their last chance
she didn't want to blow it.
"He ain't no king of games, I bet he's never played a single match of Digimon in his life"thought Rika.
"Which one in Henry?"asked Yami.
Shadi pointed at Henry. Henry gulped, he felt something from him. Something dark,
his voice and look made him somewhat intimidating to Henry.
Yami examined Henry carefuly. He didn't look evil, he didn't seem like the type who would
turn to darkness.
"Allright, I'll do it"
"Thank you, my Pharoah"
******************************************************************************************
Yugi's grandfather was out doing volunteer work at the community health center,
so the shop and house was all there's.
He invited them in to the house. They slipped off their shoes and entered.
"Nice place"said Takato trying to be friendly but this guy seemed a little scary.
Yami noticed this and laughed.
"There's no need to be afraid of me, I'm on your side. Henry, come up with me to my room.
You two may come if you wish or wait here. By the way, I never caught your names"
"Takato"
"Rika"
"Nice to meet you. Come Henry, this game is very complex, so we'll need all the time we can get.
Rika and Takato followed, coming for support.Yami admired how close they were, he noticed that they
were'nt interested in learning the game but came anyway.
Henry was a quick study, almost like Yami. Yami taught him about Battle City rules as he would probaly have to
duel by them. Henry seemed to understand the game very well.
After a coulple hours he was ready for a duel. All he needed was a deck.
"Tell me something Henry, do you desire to play the game? Or did you come
because Shaid asked"asked Yami.
Henry was a little surpised but awnsered.
"Sorta. I just want to tame Ra so I can give it to-
"You musn't do that! You missed what Shadi said apparently, it he get's that card,
we're in danger. You must never let him get the card"
"How can I help my friends then?"asked Henry.
"Your friends?"
Henry nodded.
"You'll probaly have to duel for them"
"Oh great"said Henry.
"Don't worry, I'll help, and with my friends together we'll take him down"
"Um, uh, pharoah?"
Yami laughed.
"Just call me Yugi"
"Right, um, Yugi, thanks for everything"said Henry.
"Your welcome, all you have to do in return is to never, ever allow
yourself to be corrupted"
"I promise"
They walked down the stairs out into the game shop. Takato and Rika were asked to exit so
Yami could have a private word with Henry.
"Now what?"asked Henry.
"Now you need a deck"
Yami took the key in the back of his Grabdpa's desk and unlocked
one of the containers of cards. The cards were all in packs.
"No way. Yugi, I couldn't"
"Don't worry, we'll get another shipment"
"I can't thank you enough"said Henry.
"Allright, choose your cards carefuly. You must rely on your instincts to
make a deck, because you'll be the one using the deck"
Takato, Rika, and Yami waited as Henry openmed all the packs. He was allready above
a beggining level duelist, so he knew strategy.
Henry took out Ra, obviously the first choice. Even though he needed to duel with Ra, he knew
he couldn't focus on just that monster for victory. He was very careful with the cards he chose.
The afternoon was just a little ways away. Never once did they get impatient, Takato and RIka as well
as Yami knew it took patience to construct a good deck in ANY card game.
"Henry's consitration is top notch. He's really thinking about what cards to put in"thought Yami.
After another hour, Henry was finished.
"Done"said Henry.
"Allright. Now we just have the problem of entering you in the Battle City tournament"said Yami.
"What!"gasped Henry.
"Don't worry Henry, you'll be allright"said Takato.
"Yeah, I'm the Queen of the Digimon card game, you can be the king of Duel Monsters"
Yami smiled at the support Henry's friends gave him, like Yugi's friend give him.
"What about me?"asked Takato.
"You're the prince of goggles"said Rika.
"Hey!"said Takato defennsively.
"Hey wait, I think I have a spare Duel disk"
"A spare?"asked Henry.
"Yes, just incase one broke. You can have it"
"But Yugi, aren't you in the tournament too?"
"Don't worry, you'll do fine"said Yami.
"When's the tournament?"asked Takato.
"About four days from now, so there's plenty of time to prepare"said Yami.
****************************************************************************************************8
They went outside to test their Dueldisks. Henry did horribly in the duels, Yami noticed a fear
inside of him.
"You should be doing better then this Henry, what's wrong"
Henry nearly chocked on his words as he responded.
"I'm, scared. I, I can't control Ra. He'll, destroy me"
"C'mon Henry! You'll never win a duel if fear holds you back, I should know.
Now c'mon, duel like you mean it! You can do it, play your hardest, even if it
means summoning Ra. You can do it!"
Henry nodded and the duel continued. Even fighting at his hardest, it looked like Yami had the match won.
However Henry had stalled with Swords of Revealing Light and drew.
It was the Winged Dragon of Ra! Ra's abilities were engrabed in his mind somehow.
He had three monsters to sacrafice.
"Well, here goes nothing"thought Henry.
Henry's arm was trembiling.
"He must've drawn the Egyptian God"thought Yami.
Henry was down to 50 lifepoints while Yami was at 3950.
"I sacrafice all three monsters to summon the Winged Dragon of Ra!"
The Egyptian God was gigantic, rising above all buildings. Civilians were fascinated
with what they saw. What was it?
Ras roared with awesome might, almost making the city quake.
"He gains the attack points of all the monsters I sacraficed, so that makes his power
2000"
"He's still weaker them my Buster Blader, and plus since it's a dragon, my monster
gains 500 more points"thought Yami.
"Now I play monster Reborn, bring back DeathVolsgouse"
The large dragon beast had 2200 attack points.
"That must've went to the Graveyard when I played Card Destruction, but still,
what good would that do?"thought Yugi.
"Now for Ra's ablity, I sacrafice DeathVosgouse to raise his power by the power of the monster
I sacraficed! Winged Dragon of Ra, attack!"
"Not so fast, I activate Mirror Force! This will deflect the monster's attack right back"
Henry could feel himself connected with Ra, like it was part of his body and soul.
Was it possesing him again? He fought to keep Ra out of him but couldn't.
The mirror force was shattered and Buster Blader destroyed.
Yugi's lifepoints dropped to 2850, at which Henry collapsed.
"Henry!"they all gasped.
They all ran over to his side. He was bleeding a little, his body battered and clothes tattered.
"It must've been too much for him to handle"said Yami.
"Does that mean we've wasted all that time for nothing?"asked Takato.
"Perhaps if he uses it more, his body will withstand the strain"
"Henry, wa-
Before Rika could shake him, Henry's eyes opened slowly.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control it comepletely, grr"said Henry with pain.
"Don't worry about that now Henry. You'll need more practice in order to tame the card"
"No way Yugi, that card'll destroy him"said Rika.
"No Rika, he's right"said Henry weakly.
Enraged Rika dropped Henry and stomped away.
"Comeback!"said Takato.
"If Henry wants to destroy himself, go ahead!"
"Rika!"yelled Takato but Rika ignored him.
Yami helped Henry inside, Takato soon following him inside.
Rika was furious, and sad at the same time. She was able to hold back the tears
though so she wouldn't make a scene.
"Stupid Henry, he cares more about that card then anything else"she thought.
She was suddenly grabbed from behind. The grip was tight, with a knife now held to her throat.
The robed man was only briefly seen from the corner of Rika's eye. She couldn't make a move, her
body was frozen. She was gonna die.
"We know you know something about the Egyptian God card's whereabouts, so tell me now"
Rika chocked, nothing could come out of her. Her mouth wouldn't move, sweat and heat were ruling
over her.
"Tell me now or I sware to God bitch, I will kill you"
However RIka wasn't gonna die a wimp. She elbowed at him, but his body was further away then she thought
and the blows did little damage when they reached. She tried kicking but he moved his legs back.
He let go all of a sudden with a scream, blood streaming out of his back.
He fell on the ground. Rika immidiately reconized the figure.
"It's you again. Who are you?"asked Rika coldly.
She wasn't going to admit needing his help.
"If you must know my name, you may simply call me Bakura"said the spirit of the ring.
Rika had a face of anger and confusion. This guy threatened to kill her, and now she had saved her?
"Why"she slipped out.
She regretted it with everything she was as a silence befell over the two.
Yami Bakura stared at her with angry eyes. He was tempted to kill her but she seemed
a very slightly bit familiar, and plus she seemed to be to her liking. Unlike Bakura
who was a wimp and had a mostly pure soul, she seemed quite dark. She might make a better
host.
Rika had not the guts to ask again.
"I have my reasons"
With that Yami Bakura vanished into the shadows.
"What was that all about?"thought Rika.
Of course Bakura had other reasons for killing the rare hunter. If the hunter had
captured the Egyptian God card, his deal with Malik woudl end. Only he would get it.
He didn't suspect Rika of being any sort of factor to getting the Egyptian God card.
************************************************************************************************
"The Winged Dragon of Ra has been played at last. By who Rashid?"asked Malik.
"We haven't identified the boy, he's a well known duelist. He was with Yugi Moto
and two other children"
"Yugi, damn him. Why aren't they brining the card? Yugi must've heared about the kidnappings,
and so should these other brats. Why hasn't anything come up yet?"thought Malik.
"well sir?"asked Rashid.
Malik snickered.
"Release the children. We no longer need them. If this boy played Ra, then that means
he was foolish enough to enter Battle City. I thought the owner would hide away but it looks
like he'll be making himself quite a target"
*****************************************************************************************
Parents all over were glad when the children finally came to them. When questioned, the children
couldn't identify the captors as they were in a dark place and the men were all robed.
Henry was hugging Suzy close with tears. It had been an hour or so, with Henry healing.
Yami seemed concerned despite the cheerful mood.
"Why did he let the kids go? Oh no! They must've seen Ra when it was played. What was I thinking!
We should've duled somewhere more secluded. Hopefully they won't strike until Battle City"thought Yugi.
Of course Henry was back at his own house, with Takato at his. Rika was in her room. While glad for the children, she
felt so confused. Everything had happened so fast, she didn't know what to think of it.
She didn't dare tell her mother or grandmother that she was nearly killed, they would be in an uproar
and she would probaly never be allowed outside by herself again.
"Rennamon, I wish you were here, you're the only one who knows me
inside and out, I wish you were here. I know you'd help me out"she thought.
Serenity was fine. Nothing had happened to her. Joey went home after a little while to prepare
for Battle City.
(Note:In this scenario, Joey never dueled the rare Hunter so he still has Red Eyes)
Malik and Kaiba were prepared as well, Egyptian God cards on hand.
Henry tried calling Rika but her mother awnsered and said Rika just wouldn't
go on the phone.
Henry sighed before haning the phone up. Suzy was sleeping, tired from all the excitement.
Henry took out Ra.
