Act 1: Hymn to Dusk.
Chapter 3 Relentless
As Yugi walked to school, he kept pondering the dream he had. He was positive it was a vision, as was Yami. 'Great...another the entire world rests on my shoulders adventure.' Yugi thought glumly. "Hey Yugi, you look tired." Joey said, as Yugi approached the others at their usual meeting point before school. "It's nothing Joey. Hey Guys." Yugi said half- heartedly. "Jeez man, you look worse than Kaiba." Yugi glanced over to where the CEO was walking. He looked tired too, as if he had been awake all night like Yugi. 'Interesting.' Yami thought. "Joey! He's right over there! I don't think he's sleepy enough to ignore you when you make fun of him!" Tea said. "No really guys, I'm fine. Just some bad dreams." Yugi said, and his tone made it clear that he didn't want to talk about it anymore. "Okay Yugi." Tristan said, and they trudged off to class.
--After School—
Seto Kaiba walked towards his car, when suddenly a knife flew past his cheek sharply, and struck the pavement. There was a note around it. Seto immediately picked it up, and grabbed the note. It read
Tonight. 9:00. Bring Your Duel Deck and Disk to the park. Do not ignore this note. We have your brother under surveillance.
"Damn!" Seto said. "Can't I go a year without someone threatening my brother in order to get at me. Well I'll show them. They want a duel. They got it."
--Meanwhile—
"Hey Guys!" Yugi said, thankful to get out of class. "We're gonna see Marik now?" Tristan asked. "Yeah." The group walked towards Domino Museum. Suddenly, Kaiba's limo drove by rapidly, obviously in a hurry. "Jeez, dat Kaiba! He oughta slow down!" Joey said, irritated. "He's probably got some business deal or something to do Joey." Tea said. "Who's got a business deal?" Serenity asked. Joey jumped, spooked at the sudden appearance of his sister. "Dat jerk Kaiba." He responded. "Hey Serenity, do you want to come with us. We're going to see Ishizu and Marik!" Yugi said, before an argument about Kaiba broke out. "Sure Yugi!" Serenity said, and together they walked towards their fate.
--Later—
Seto walked towards the park a determined look on his face. In his mind, however, his thoughts were jumbled. He normally wouldn't have been worried about another duelist beating him, save for Yugi, but he was still shaken by the dream he had. 'Get a grip Kaiba. It's just a dream. You don't believe in any of that Egyptian Mumbo Jumbo.' He thought, using this mantra to calm himself. Finally, he reached the park.
"Alright, show yourself!" Seto yelled. "Tut tut tut Kaiba, in such a hurry to meet your doom?" A silky voice asked. "I'm sorry. I believe it's your doom, not mine. Maybe you are unaware of who I am." Seto said, his confidence not shaken by the sudden answer to his demand. "Ahhh... but I know who you are more than you." The voice responded. ".ggrrrrr... Show yourself coward!" Seto said, his calm snapped by these cryptic answers. Suddenly, a black robed figure emerged, a duel disk strapped to its arm. It pushed back its hood to reveal a woman with long silver hair and icy blue eyes. "What's your name?" Seto demanded. "I am Amelia the Relentless." The woman responded. "Shall we begin our duel?" Seto nodded. "Then we will use the rules of today. 8000 life points, sacrifice for higher-level monsters. Agreed?" Amelia asked, though it sounded like an order, not a request. "Agreed." And so the duel began.
"Well, ladies first." Amelia said. "I'll start off with one monster face down in defense mode, and two cards face down. Next I'll play my magic card, Mass Driver!" Suddenly, a large cannon appeared on her side of the field. "What is that!" Kaiba demanded. "That is my Mass Driver. I can sacrifice a monster to deal you 400 damage. The best part of all is it's a permanent magic. So I'll fire my monster at you! Suddenly, the image of a dragon appeared for a moment, then went inside the cannon. It fired, and Kaiba disappeared in a cloud of smoke. "ggrr.. are you finished." "No Kaiba. That was my troop dragon. When it's destroyed, I can summon another to the field. And I'll fire that one at you as well!" Another dragon appeared, and was shot at Kaiba. The third appeared, and she shot that at him as well. When the dust cleared, Kaiba was at 6800 life points. "Ha, take that Kaiba. You're already down 1200 life points and you haven't even taken a turn yet." Amelia mocked. Kaiba merely glared and drew his card. "You may have dealt me 1200 damage, but your wide open to a direct assault. So Go, Vorse Raider! Attack her life points directly!" Suddenly, a large, vicious looking beast warrior appeared. "Not so fast Kaiba, I activate my bottomless trap hole! This card sucks your Vorse Raider into another dimension, outside our game!" The warrior disappeared, and Kaiba shook at the unexpected counter. "Fine. I'll place 1 card face down and end my turn. Your move."
"I'll set another card face down on the field, and set on monster face down, in defense mode. Your turn Kaiba." She said with a smirk. "Hmph. You made the mistake of not attacking me when my defenses were low. Now you will pay. So I'll start by wiping away your face down cards. Reveal my Heavy Storm Magic card!" Suddenly his face down card flipped up, and the winds began to howl. "Not so fast. I activate Magic Jammer!" Amelia said, and suddenly her Magic Jammer appeared. "I'll discard this card, so that your magic is stopped!" The Heavy Storm card suddenly shattered, destroyed by Magic Jammer. 'Damn, she's better than I thought.' Kaiba thought, disturbed at how easily she was stopping his moves. "Fine. I'll summon my Gemini Elf in attack mode!." Suddenly two powerful looking elf twins appeared, standing ready to attack. "Attack that face down monster!" The twins suddenly focused their magic, and shot it at the face down card. "Hahahahaha! Fool! You've destroyed my Nimble Momonga! I now gain 1000 life points, and can summon 2 more to the field!" Suddenly, 2 more face down monsters appeared. "Damn..." Kaiba swore again, beginning to get frustrated. "Now you know why I am called Relentless Kaiba. My monsters replace each other. I will never run out. And soon I will crush you!" Amelia said, laughing.
--Meanwhile—
"Hey guys! How's it been!" Marik yelled as he saw his old friends walk through the museum door. Cries of "Hey Marik" and "What's up?" were heard from the 5 of them. After a few minutes of catching up, Ishizu walked in. "Greeting everyone." The group greeted her, and after a few more minutes of catching up, Yugi noticed that Marik looked tired. When he commented upon this, Ishizu's expression darkened. Yugi looked questioningly at Marik, who said "I had a dream last night. My sister believes it is a warning." "Hey, I had a dream too. Yami believes it was a vision too." Yugi said. The group looked at Yugi and Tea asked "Why didn't you tell us Yugi?" "Because, I think it might be trouble. But I wanted to make sure."
"Marik, what was your dream?" Yugi asked. "Well, there was a really lush and bountiful countryside," at this Yugi nodded, "and suddenly the sky darkened and soldiers appeared. Then I heard a voice that said At Dusk on Lights last day, Darkness spreads, light fades, chaos reigns, In this darkest hour, the guardians three, Earth, Spirit, and People, These three must come together, Torment's child, Dragon Hunter, Ra's Light, Must face neither dark, nor light, but in between, Beware Dragon of end, Soldier of beginning, and Warrior of balance, The Three, and the One. "When Marik began, suddenly Yugi's voice could be heard chanting the prophecy alongside Marik. "I had the same dream!" Yugi said, astonished. "That makes sense that the fates would warn you Yugi, but why me?" Marik asked.
"Yami wants to know if there are any legends or scriptures that relate to this." Yugi asked for his dark side. "Well, none of the one's I have ever seen match this... but the reason we came here was to look at some ancient scriptures recently discovered in different parts of the world. The strange thing is, they have striking similarities to early hieroglyphics." "This is really strange. Can we take a look at the scriptures Ishizu?" Yami asked.
"Of course, my pharaoh." Ishizu said, and they walked towards the basement, the same basement where the tablets of the Pharaoh had once laid.
--Back to Kaiba—
Kaiba was in trouble, and he knew it. 'Each time I destroy her monsters, another takes its place. How can I attack her life points if her monsters won't die.' "Damnit.." Amelia smirked, obviously enjoying her advantage. "So Kaiba, are you finished with your pointless assaults?" Kaiba glared and ended his turn. Amelia drew, and her icy eyes sparkled at the card she drew. "Excellent. I summon, Newdoria!" Suddenly, an intimidating fiend appeared, glaring at the elves across from it. "Hahahahaha, that monster has such low attack power, my elves will crush it!" Kaiba boasted, unaware of the monsters special effect. "Power isn't everything Kaiba. I sacrifice Newdoria to deal 400 damage to you!" As the smoke cleared, Kaiba coughed and glared back defiantly. Suddenly, he realize something was wrong. "What happened to my elves!" He demanded. "Newdoria's special effect. Whenever it goes to the graveyard, it destroys one monster on the field. Now, I switch both Nimble Momongas into attack mode. ATTACK!" She commanded, and the monsters complied, biting Kaiba's arm. "You cannot defeat me Kaiba! My monsters deaths will always serve a purpose. You cannot win this duel!" She declared. Kaiba shook, obviously fazed at the 'relentless' waves of monsters Amelia sent at him. And as she ended her turn, he began to feel his resolve slipping.
