TCG- Well, now that this is posted, the contest from last chapter is over. I will announce the winners in the next chapter and on my Bio.
Yugi- Up to now, hasn't only one person entered?
TCG- Sadly, yes. But still, I am happy that someone actually cares, since they offered to help me. I forget what her user name is, but she is Faith Kaiba. So, thank you, even though the asterisks don't work still.
Yugi- I think that it is the new soft ware ff.net uses that's causing all the problems. I mean, isn't that what Faith said?
TCG- shrugs Anyway, I am happy with the amount of reviews I have gotten. Please people, keep it up! It's great to have people actually read my story!
Yugi- Isn't your sister at your grand parents house right now?
TCG- Yes! That gives me time to work in some peace before she comes back! It's actually a very great thing, especially when she is always annoying me. Just for peoples info, if I ever refer to her, her pen name is going to be wheeler2be, since she has a crush on Joey! So if anyone takes her penname, I will give you so many flames it won't be funny to anyone but me! And since wheeler2be is so long, her official initials are w2b, 'Kay people?
Yugi- So, when is she coming home? I hope it's in a week!
TCG- Sadly, she's coming home tonight.
Yugi- Oh, man!
TCG- My sentiments exactly!
Yugi- What's a sentiment?
TCG- I think it's your opinion on something, but I'm not sure. Oh well, I say that really often anyway, so even if it's not what it means, I don't care.
Yugi- Okay then. Do you have a Kit Kat bar?
TCG- Uh, hold on. looks for a Kit Kat Here you go.
Yugi- Yay! begins to open it Want me to say the disclaimer before I begin my Kit Kat bar eating frenzy?
TCG- Would you, please?
Yugi- TCG does not own YuGiOh! Kazuki Takahashi does. She does own Alexa, though. She also doesn't own Kit Kats. I do, actually I don't, but I want to since I eat at least a Kit Kat a day. But, I must stop talking now, I have to eat one. smiles as he opens Kit Kat and begins to eat, with a huge grin on his face
TCG- You know, that's a cool name, Kazuki Takahashi. That could be a song, Kazuki, Takahashi! Kazuki, Takahashi!
Yugi- As TCG always says, oh goody and a couple of ode to joys.
TCG- sweat drops Uh, sorry people. Anyway, I got a new haircut! I went from having it a little past my shoulders to my chin, from all one layer to layered. And I get to use hair gel! really big smile
Yugi- I use hair gel and you never make a huge smile.
TCG- Say you use hair gel.
Yugi- What?
TCG- Say you use hair gel.
Yugi- I use hair gel?
TCG- really big smile Now you can't say that! Also just so you know, I can't make those cool smiles with what you get from doing shift6, shift-, and shift6. I tried, it doesn't work.
Yugi- Nothing seems to work on your computer.
TCG- shrugs Oh well. I still can use internet luckily!
Yugi- Yeah, that's true.
TCG- Well, here's the story!
Everyone looked at the bushes that had made the noise. A shadowy figure stepped forward. Everyone looking shocked but at the same time relieved, sighed. It was Bokura. (Just to get something straight people, I'll call the regular, nice Bokura, Bokura, and the evil one Evil Bokura, or E.Bokura.) It was a shock to see him, but nice that everyone knew him.
Bokura- What's this? I didn't expect to see you all here! Oh, my! Is that a human?
Everyone looked at Bokura, when he was there the last time, there was trouble. Also, they had almost forgotten Alexa was human. Alexa sighed. Just when it was all going so well, they almost accepted her, he goes and reminds them.
Alexa- thinking Thanks a lot, Bokura! Now, it's starting all over again!
Yugi- Yes, she is a human. Her names Alexa.
Alexa- Yup, nice to meet you. thinking Not!
Bokura- So, how long have you been here?
Alexa- Not long, Bokura. Just a few hours.
Bokura- How, how did you know my name?
Alexa- Um, well, humans watch cartoons. And you're a cartoon.
Bokura- Eh, creepy!
Joey- Alexa, what were you saying before? You said let me show you...
Alexa- Oh, yeah! How bout a duel? That should help you find the strengths of my deck!
Bokura- How about you duel me? I haven't in a while.
Alexa- Uh, ok, I guess.
(So you know, / means Yugi talking to Yami in mind link, {means Yami talking to Yugi)
{Yugi, do you remember what happened the last time someone dueled Bokura like this? It was you and I, and if it weren't for the fact that you and I are connected, you and your friends would have been doomed!}
/ I know, do you think that we should do something? I mean, should we duel instead? /
{Mmm, yes.}
Yugi- Uh, can I duel instead? I redid my deck, and I want to test it.
Alexa- Ok, here are all of our cards.
Bokura- It's still light out; let's duel with out the duel disks.
Yugi- Alright.
(I probably said it was night time before, but I changed my mind. It's sun set. Okies? Okies! Okies is my word also, so I better not catch you using it!)
Bokura and Yugi- Lets Duel! (they each will have 4000 life points.)
E. Bokura- Hehe! Let's take this to the Shadow realm!
Teã- Talk about De Ja Vu!
Tristan- Do you guys remember what happened last time we were at duelist kingdom, and we dueled Bokura?
Joey- We all got our souls captured in our favorite cards!
Alexa- Oh, boy. Why didn't I see this coming?
E.Bokura- Now, for the stakes...!
For those of you who saw that episode, episode 13, and what I call the six inch tall people episode, you know how it looks. For those of you that don't, everyone gasps and get's their soul captured into their favorite card, and their bodies all just kinda fall in a limp lifeless way. Yami, who was prepared from the second he heard this starting, took over Yugi's body.
Yami- Bokura, you will fall at your own game. I will save my friends.
E. Bokura- Heh, you still guarding those worthless mortals? Haha! What a fool you are, pharaoh! You could have so much power. And yet, you don't even know how to control them!
Yami- Worthless mortals! Bokura, as I am forced to call you, nameless demon, should know. With out Bokura, you would have no one to take over. And you would be helpless!
E. Bokura- Oh, and do you realize the same goes for you?
Yami- Let's get on with the duel!
(TCG- Hey, I wrote up to this point, and then I got banned from the computer. So I'm really sorry for not updating. I don't know if I mentioned the amount of life points they will have, but it's 4,000, okies?)
So, the duel began. But little did Yami know just how much different this would be from last time. And all the chaos didn't bother to wait a while. It started right from the beginning.
Yami- I'll start this! I draw! starts thinking as Yugi, like usual Let's see, I don't have a great hand at all. The only decent thing I have is Maha Vailo. Wait, that's Alexa's favorite card! I'm not sure if I should risk playing her, but if it's anything like last time, she's safer on the field any way.
E.Bokura- Come on, Yugi! Are you afraid of the dark?
Yami- I play Maha Vailo, in attack mode!
Now, what happened first wasn't out of the ordinary, well, for a shadow game anyway. Alexa, dressed as her Maha Vailo was summoned. She immediately wondered why she was wearing such clothes. [Alexa- What the heck am I wearing?]([= what is going on outside of narration.) But suddenly, she realized the "Evil Bokura Dude", as she called him, right in front of her. She was scared of his cutting glare, and began to walk backwards, away from him, almost forgetting, well actually she is forgetting, that she was in a duel. Suddenly, the edge of the table thing came, and she fell off, but luckily Yami caught her in his hand. Unluckily, this scared the heck out of Alexa, who screamed for about two seconds before realizing it was Yami. When she did, she blushed and looked almost like she was about to cry. She muttered "Sorry" before Yami began a re explanation of what was going on. (I only am making him re explain it for those of you who either have short term memory loss, or have never seen this episode before. See how nice I am?)
Alexa- Oh joy. This should be great.
Yami- Alexa, this duel is for your soul. And everyone else's. If we lose, it could mean everything. Are you good enough to do this battle with so much at stake? (In case you haven't realized, he's doing this because he doesn't trust Alexa.)
Alexa- I won't let you down, Yuge! But, uh, could you put me down?
Yami- realizes he's still holding Alexa, puts her back on table
E. Bokura- My move! Ah, this should do nicely! I play one monster face down in defense mode. Your move!
Yami- I place one card face down. Then I use my Maha Vailo to attack your face down monster!
Alexa- Spell magic attack! launches lightning and destroys face down monster
Yami- So, you were bluffing! Obviously your hand has betrayed you!
Alexa- whispers You know, he's probably doing that to make you think that! I bet he's about to play something worse!
Yami- ignores Alexa I summon Flame Swordsman before I end my turn!
Alexa- Well, with Joey I won't be alone anymore!
Joey- Huh? What's going on?
Alexa- We're six inches tall, wearing dresses, and are about to duel your friend-gone-bad.
Joey- Didn't I say something like that the last time?
Alexa- sweat drop, laughs nervously Uh, yeah.
Joey- I knew it, so what are we doing?
Yami- Nothing, our turn just ended.
Joey- anime fall Yeesh! I forgot about the two Yugi's! Of course, I think I forgot most of the important things.
E.Bokura- My turn! I will play two cards face down. Then I summon one monster in facedown defense position. Heh heh, your move!
Yami- draws card, begins thinking as Yugi Yes! My Dark Magician! Now I'm sure to beat Bokura at his own game! Now all I have to do is summon it, have my weakest monster destroy his face down card, than we have direct access to his life points! out loud I summon, the Dark Magician, in attack mode!
What happened next was completely random. Yami summoned the Dark Magician, aka Yugi. Alexa began laughing hysterically, and everyone just stared at her. She managed to get the words "Yugi, short, Dark Magician, tall!" She just was standing there bending over because her sides hurt from laughing so long. Finally, she stopped, but only after about five minutes of laughing. She said her end-of-laughing-streak line, which was 'Oh jeez!' When she found everyone staring at her, she blushed and said "What? Am I the only one with a sense of humor around here?" Everyone just looked at her like "Is this a good time to be laughing?" She said sorry, and sat near the back of the table thing.
E. Bokura- Well, now that that is over with, I will activate my two face down cards, Fissure, and Tribute to the Doomed! Fissure will destroy your Maha Vailo, and now that I have discarded a card discards a card I choose your Dark Magician to go to the graveyard! Bwahaha!
Yami- No! Yugi, Alexa, I will save you both! Somehow...
Alexa- What the heck! disappears
Yugi- NO! disappears
Joey- No, Yugi! Err, we've got ta save dem somehow! We just gotta!
Yami- thinking I know a way to get Yugi back, but Alexa's not in such luck. I just hope maybe she'll stay there, I know Yugi wants to be friends with her, but humans are much too dangerous. out loud Don't worry Joey, they will both be saved. Mean while, I summon Magical Library in defense mode, and place one card face down, and end my turn.
Joey- thinking I wonder why big Yugi summoned magical library? If Bokura uses a spell card and makes it go in attack mode, we're dead, since it has zero attack points. But, I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
E.Bokura- Well, I summon Lady of the Harp, in defensive mode. Than, I use two spell cards, Yellow Luster Shield and Chorus of Sanctuary, each increasing my Lady's defensive by 500 and 300, giving her a total of 2800 defensive points! Try and break through that, Yugi! I place one card face down, and it's your move!
While Bokura was activating his spell cards, something was going on with the magical library. Now, its effect reads "Every time your opponent uses a spell card, put one magic token on this card. Remove three magic tokens to draw a card." But, since this was a shadow game, there were no tokens, but instead two torches lit up the library, because Bokura had activated two spell cards. Yami, however, was not planning on using the tokens to draw a card. He was planning something that could only save Yugi.
Yami- draws card I activate a trap of mine, known as Miracle Restoring!
E.Bokura- What does that do?!
Yami- Well, it and my Magical Library are going to bring Yugi back!
Meanwhile, down in the graveyard, Alexa and Yugi had found each other, and began walking through it, wondering what was happening.
Yugi- Alexa, are you okay? You're shaking.
Alexa- Um, okay, uh, Yuge, to put it in a simple way, I have never been more terrified in my entire life! Do you think we're going to be saved?
Yugi- Of course we will. But, you wanna know something Alexa?
Alexa- Know what?
Yugi- Well, I'm really scared too! I've never been in the graveyard before.
Alexa- I've never been a duel monster before! I sure hope we leave soon!
Yugi- I hope so too!
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE DUEL...
Yami- Well, when you activated those spell cards, you lit two of my Libraries torches. If I blow out two of those torches, I can summon my Dark Magician from the graveyard!
E.Bokura- Too bad that won't be happening!
Yami- Huh?
E.Bokura- Reveal face down card, known as 7 Tools of the Bandit! For 1,000 life points, I can negate the effect of your trap and destroy it!
Yami- No! That was my only plan to save Yugi!
Life points= E. Bokura-3,000 Yami-4,000
Yami- Your move.
E. Bokura- draws card I put two cards face down and end my turn.
Yami- draws card, thinking Monster Reborn! Now I can summon one monster back to the field! out loud I play Monster Reborn to bring back one monster from the grave!
E.Bokura- What monster is it going to be?!
Yami- That I'll let them decide for themselves.
Joey- I hope dey dink of sometin'!
BACK DOWN IN THE GRAVE...
Alexa- Hey, Yugi look! It's a monster reborn! It's activating!
Yugi- I wonder which one of us is going back up?
Alexa- Don't you think that whoever it was would have been, well, reborn already? Maybe the card just got discarded.
Yugi- Or, maybe, maybe we're supposed to choose.
Alexa- But, if that's the case, one of us has got to stay here voluntarily. And I'm willing to be the one.
Yugi- No, Alexa. I refuse to let you stay, you go.
Alexa- I'm not going- hey what's that?
Yugi- It looks like a polymerization. I bet it's the card Bokura discarded when he used Tribute to the Doomed!
Alexa- So, that doesn't help us any!
Yugi- Well, it didn't help us then, but it can now!
Alexa- How do you figure? Wait a sec, you don't mean to fuse together, do you?
Yugi- Only if you are willing to, but otherwise one of us is staying.
Alexa- I am, I guess. I mean, it might be risky, what if we can't get un fused? Or we're totally opposite attributes, I mean I'm a light monster and you're a dark. And I'm a human-.
Just then, they both realized the difference could be enough to destroy them Yugi almost looked like he might not want to try it after all...
BACK AT THE DUEL...
Joey- Come on Yuge, get reborn already!
Yami- Why is it taking so long?
E.Bokura- Maybe they both got destroyed, each of them trying to get out at the same time...
Just then, the card began to light up, at first only the shadow could be seen
E.Bokura- They went smart and summoned the stronger Dark Magician...
Joey- No way! Yugi was a gentle man and let Alexa be summoned.
The monster finished being reborn...
E.Bokura/Joey- Which one is it?
Yami- It's both! It's the Vailo Magician! They figured out a way to fuse together and both get reborn!
Joey- But how could they fuse?
E.Bokura- Could it be? They used the polymerization card that I discarded?!
Yami- That's exactly what they did! Now, I use De fusion in order to separate them once again!
Alexa/Yugi/Joey- We/You made it!
Alexa- Wow, look at the defense of that monster!
Joey- We've been trying to get you guys back, so during that time, he increased its defense.
Yami- I just figured out a way to destroy it! I use De-spell to destroy Chorus of Sanctuary, bringing its defense down by 500 points! Now, my Dark Magician, destroy his Lady of the Harp!
E.Bokura- Not so fast, I activate Block Attack, switching your Dark Magician to defense mode!
Yugi gasped as his card was turn sideways, and almost made him fall. He exhaled happily as he didn't fall.
Yami- I have one more trick to try, Bokura! I'm going to equip my Flame Swordsman with Axe of Despair...
Alexa- Wait, Yami! Equip the equip card to me!
Yami- But you are weaker than Joey, therefore...
Alexa- No! Listen, please equip it to me! I will get more attack points with it than if Joey got it! Please you've got to believe me!
Yami- Alright, but if you are wrong...
Alexa- I won't be.
Yami- I equip my Axe of Despair to my Maha Vailo, increasing her attack points!
Alexa- To a grand total of 3,050 attack points!
Everyone (except Alexa)- What?!
Alexa- It's actually quite simple when you think about it. Because Joey would have only gotten up to 2,800 attack points.
Joey- But I have more attack strength then you! I should get more!
Yami- Not quite. I just figured out Maha Vailo's special ability.
Yugi- Maha Vailo gets an extra 500 attack points for every equip card attached to it. Since the equip card raised Alexa's attack by 1,000...
Yami- She ended up getting a total of 1,500 extra. If I had equipped it to my Flame Swordsman, he only would have gotten 1,000 extra. And although Alexa's a weaker monster, she's stronger than any other monster would have been with Axe of Despairs effect. Now, Maha Vailo, attack his Lady of the Harp!
Alexa- You got it! Spell Magic attack!
Yami- Now my Flame Swordsman, attack his life points directly!
Joey- Flaming Sword attack!
Lifepoints= E.Bokura-1,200 Yami- 4,000
Yugi- In the next move, we can wipe him out!
E. Bokura- draws card, thinking Excellent! This card will get rid of that Maha Vailo once and for all! out loud I have the card to ensure your defeat!
Yami- grunts (they always say that on the captions on t.v. so why not in a story?)
E. Bokura- I play Eternal Rest!
Yami- What does that card do?
Alexa- I know! It destroys all cards on the field with equip cards. Me using so many of them in my deck, I know which cards to be aware of. Wait, and that means...me!
The magic of the card came and wrapped around Alexa, who struggled to try and stay above it.
Alexa- Yugi...there's...one card...I stuck in your deck...that can help defeat him...Do whatever it takes...don't worry about me...
And with that, she was destroyed.
Yugi- No! Alexa!
Joey- What was that she was saying about a card?
Yami- She stuck a card in the deck other than her Maha Vailo. And now, it's up to us to draw it.
E. Bokura- My turns not finished! I play one monster in defense mode, and place one card face down. Now it's your move.
Yami- thinking as Yugi Well, according to Alexa, there is one card that can save us. Now, let's hope we can draw it... What? It's... out loud Dark Magician!?
/Wait, Yami! If you summon it, who knows what will happen! I mean, if I am this Dark Magician, than that would leave.../
{...me to be the Dark Magician, I know. However, it may be our only chance. If we don't summon it, Bokura could easily use a trap or spell card to stop us, meaning if we have more monsters, we have more chances to beat him.}
/Yami, if you summon it, you would have to immediately launch an attack before it, well, you actually, are taking from your body!/
{It's a risk we'll have to take!}
Yami- I summon Dark Magician to the field, and have it attack your face down monster. And the rest will attack your life points directly...
At that, Alexa's Dark Magician was summoned, even though it was Yami. His body fell, being left soulless.
Joey- So, now, both of you are here...so whose going to control the duel?
Yugi- Well, this move should make us victorious, so we wouldn't need a person to duel.
Yami- Don't forget, you two, we just had orders to attack.
Joey/Yugi- Yeah!
Yugi/Yami- Dark Magic attack!
Joey- Flaming Sword attack!
E. Bokura- You made a fatal mistake, and now I'll show you why! Activate two face down cards, Frozen Soul and Disappear! First I'll use frozen souls effect, which keeps all of you from attacking anything.
Yami/Yugi/Joey- Oh, no!
E. Bokura- But, you know your poor friend Alexa?
Yugi- What about her?
E. Bokura- Well, thanks to disappear, she's going to be removed from play!
Yami- No! That means there's no way of rescuing her!
E. Bokura- And even if I didn't activate disappear, how could you rescue her? You made yourself a Duel Monster! Mwahahaha!
DOWN IN THE GRAVEYARD...
Alexa- Not again! I can't believe it! As soon as I'm out I'm here again! sobs (TCG- I don't own Evanescence's Bring Me to Life, however it is THE BEST!)
Alexa begins to sing softly to herself
How can you see into my eyes, like open doors? Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb? Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold, Until you find it there and lead it back home.
Wake me up inside, Wake me up inside. Call my name and save me from the dark. Bid my blood to run, before I come undone, Save me from the nothing I've become.
Now that I know what I'm without, You can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real, Bring me to life.
Wake me up inside, Wake me up inside, Call my name and save me from the dark. Bid my blood to run, Before I come undone, Save me from the nothing I've become. Bring me to life.
Frozen inside, with out your touch, Without your love, darling, Only you are the life among the dead!
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see, Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me. I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems, Got to open my eyes to everything. Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul, Don't let me die here, there must be something more. Bring me to life.
Alexa sighed. A single tear rolled down her cheek. She wanted to sing some more, as music was the only thing that comforted her. But every time she went to, she thought of Yugi. Yugi, maybe the only true friend she could ever have had. All of that was lost now. All of it. That's when she began to just sob. It was too much. She was about to be lost. She was lost. Never again to be seen from civilization. Her life, had it been only to save Joey, and Yugi? Was this her destiny, to be sacrificed in the place of others? Did she have a destiny, or had she done this to herself? Dieing without any friends. The only thing was the songs she kept perfectly memorized in her head. Suddenly, she heard something, just passing by swiftly. She stopped crying and wiped the tears from her face, even though for every tear she swept away, more would take it's place. She stood up, and looked around, for the thing that had passed. She saw nothing, and as she looked back to where she was, the last thing she saw was the Reaper of Cards.
BACK AT THE DUEL...
Joey, Yugi, and Yami all felt a sharp pain, and although the pain subsided quickly, the feeling that Alexa was gone grew worse.
Yugi- No! She's...gone. sobs We, we barely knew who she was, but she was willing to sacrifice herself for us.
Joey- Yuge, how do you know that?
Yugi- Can't you feel it Joey?! That sorrow, that fright, the bravery?! That's all Alexa's! And, I know I never said this, but before when the both of us were down in the graveyard, she said, she, she was willing to stay down there for me! sobs even heavier
Joey- Yuge, I, I didn't realize.
E. Bokura- Well, since you can't do anything else, that means I win the duel, as well as your souls. But, most importantly, your millennium puzzle, Yugi!
Person- Not if I can help it!
Everyone- Who's that?
Person- steps out of shadows What? I'm gone for two seconds and I'm forgotten already?
Yugi- It's Alexa!
Alexa- Yup! And I'll keep you from losing to that freak, don't worry!
E. Bokura- But, how?
Alexa- Well, it's quite simple, and you helped, Bokura!
E. Bokura- But I removed you from play!
Alexa- Exactly! You captured our souls into our favorite cards, putting us into play. Then, when you sent me out, I came back! So, do your move, and then I'll like to take the stage, alright?
E. Bokura- Err, I'll have to pass!
Alexa- All right then. Joey, attack his face down card! The two Yugi's, attack his life points directly!
E. Bokura- No! I lost!
Alexa- Yup, and that means everyone's souls go back to where they belong!
TCG- Wow! Fifteen pages! That's the most I've ever typed!
Yugi- At least your back to the computer.
TCG- And, as of June 10, 2004, I'm on summer vacay!
Yugi- Uh, Vacay?
TCG- Yes, you know? Vacation, vacay?
Yugi- Whatever.
TCG- Oh yeah, please review! I mean I spent forever doing this chapter!
Yugi- Well, next chapter, the winners, er, winner will be posted.
TCG- Yup, well, I have to go! So, Comitchiwa!
Yugi- That means "hello"!
TCG- Now it means good bye too!
Yugi- Whatever. Good bye, everyone!
TCG- Ok, I feel like typing more, but I stopped there cause it was exactly fiveteen pages. And I'm proud to say I made that duel up completely by myself, using completely true to life cards!
Yugi- What about the Vailo Magician?
TCG- Ok, that I made up, but I needed to for the story. So don't sue me.
Yugi- I don't know how to sue.
TCG- I was talking to the people in general.
Yugi- I knew that, I wanted to see if you were paying attention laughs nervously
TCG- Yeah. Well, also, I'd like to say PEEEZ! Review!
Yugi- Did you just say peas?
TCG- No, I said please in a strange way. I would like some feedback on these longer chapters. Would you rather read less chapters and more words, like I've been doing, or more chapters, less writing. I prefer writing the longer chapters, but that's me.
Yugi- I can't believe your up 7 o'clock in the morning, typing. On a SUMMER VACATION...
TCG- Vacay!
Yugi- Whatever!
TCG- Anyway, if it was a school day, I would be up at six, no joke.
Yugi- Man, I feel bad for you.
TCG- Yeah, well, I ran out of things to talk about, so Bon Voyage!
Yugi- Comitchiwa!
TCG- That means hello!
Yugi- But, you, I! Nevermind. sweatdrop
