TCG- Hello, people! This is my eleventh chapter, and I am happy about how far I've gotten!
Yugi- You say that EVERY chapter…
TCG- I know…but it makes me happy!
Yugi- Everything makes you happy.
TCG- Well, it's better than if everything made me angry.
Yugi- Point taken…
TCG- Anyway, I don't know if you guys have ever visited …ooh! I'm doing it again!
Yugi- What again?
TCG- Telling people sites to visit…but anyway, in case you care, I'm TCGgirl124 on that site too, only I don't know when I'll post anything…but oh well.
Yugi- More stories…do you spend anytime away from the computer?
TCG- Yes…I mean no…I mean maybe…
Yugi- Yeah.
TCG- -.-;;; Sorry if this gets posted late, but I'm going camping soon, and I'm doing my best to make sure this gets posted before then.
Yugi- How long will you be gone?
TCG- Until Thursday, so as you can tell, it will be a while.
Yugi- Yeah, I noticed…
TCG- But anyways, I am here to type now. Oh, and by the way, please review! I want to know what you think of my story! And, since some of you asked, there will be more after this duel, and other stories separate from this one, since this is going to be a series. I'll tell you in the last chapter what the next story will be called.
Yugi- I wanna know what happens! The story is getting interesting!
TCG- I hope so! Like I've said, duels aren't easy to make up!
Yugi- Sure they are…people just throw random cards down until someone wins.
TCG- Well, if everything's random, how will you be sure that the right person wins?
Yugi- {shrugs} Hope for the best!
TCG- Yeah, like that'll work! Also, I don't know if anyone cares, but I re-did the first few chapters to make them easier to read. For those of you who read them even though they were all confusing and long, thanks a lot! Kudos to you!
Yugi- Ooh! I want a Kudo! They are yummy! :p
TCG- -.-;;; I meant that as an expression, not about the candy…
Yugi- Oh…ok.
TCG- Yugi, would you please say the disclaimer for me?
Yugi- Yep! TCGgirl124 does not own YuGiOh, Kazuki Takahashi does. She also does not own Kudos, the candy kind I mean, or Kit Kat bars, which I am sure will come into the story sooner or later! However, despite the many things she doesn't own, she does own Alexa. So that means you can't have her! Haha!
TCG- Thanks Yugi! And now, our feature presentation!
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
Yami looked hopelessly at the situation. Alexa was destroyed now, in place of Yugi. Although he still didn't trust her, hadn't she just been destroyed? Yugi had said to trust her, and he knew that he had to as well. He had promised Yugi that he would never do anything that he didn't want him to do. And he wasn't about to break it. However, with one card face down, and one face down monster, he had no idea what he was supposed to do. It all seemed so hopeless…how in the world was he supposed to win?
/Yami, I think I might know what that combo is…/
Do you think so, Yugi?
/Yeah, I bet Alexa played a monster and an equip card…/
Do you think it's an other Maha Vailo?
/I'm not sure…it might. However, knowing Alexa, it must be something good…/
But what if the monster has low attack points? If I flip it face up, it might be so weak it will get destroyed!
/Well, we have to trust Alexa. She must have done something…I know she didn't just lay two random cards down on the field…but, I bet they're cards in her deck that will help us be able to do so quickly!/
Let's hope so, it's our move…
Yami looked at the field, and then at his hand. He could tell Alexa had been in the game for some time, her cards went so well together. He drew a card, it was another Mystical Space Typhoon! He wondered how many she had in her deck. He also realized he had a Trap Hole as well. Her deck really was well thought out. Any other duelist would have some De-Spells and Remove Traps. She had cards that destroyed both. He then realized that he could keep the monster safe from both of these things, monsters and magic and trap! So…anything forged against his monster could be stopped! He sighed. The only chance to see how good Alexa was at dueling came now!
Yami- I start my move by placing two cards face down, and then I change my face down monster from defense to attack position!
Pegasus- Hmm, how are you supposed to win with a monster with zero attack points?
Yami- What?!
Sadly, it was true. Alexa's card had no attack points, but it had a possibly devastating effect. Yami was quick to notice. The card laid before him was Mucus Yolk, a monster that could attack his opponents life points directly. And every time it did damage, it gained 1000 attack points! Now, it was all up to the face down card…
Yami- But I also activate one of my face down cards, the one Alexa courageously played as her last move! And it is, the powerful Axe of Despair!
Pegasus- Oh no!
Yami- And, with it's 1000 attack points, my Mucus Yolk will attack your life points directly!
Pegasus- Grr…
LIFEPOINTS:
Yami- 4,600
Pegasus- 1,000
Yami- And now it has 2,000 attack points thanks to its special ability! On my next move, you are finished, Pegasus!
Pegasus- {laughs maniacally} Yugi-boy, you really want to end the duel so soon, but don't you want to save Alexa?
Yami- {thinking} That's right! I can't attack and finish the duel, or else Alexa will be doomed! I have to think of a plan, and quick!
Pegasus- Well, it's my move! I play one monster in defense position, and one card face down, ending my turn!
Yami- Then, I draw! {thinking} I have to draw something that will save Alexa. {hears something} What was that? That almost sounded like Alexa! {hears it again} That is Alexa! But I can't make out what she's saying…
It was true, he did hear Alexa. She was saying something, and repeating it over and over, It almost sounded like a song that wasn't being sung. Yugi just couldn't hear it, but Yami realized it was the shadow realm; it was making it harder to hear. Yugi was getting too upset to concentrate…however, Yami's ego wasn't so easily shattered…
/I can't hear her! I don't understand…it's too vague!/
Yugi, you must calm down. You have to concentrate. Remember, this is the shadow realm, so you have to put up a fight.
/I can't…I just can't take it, it's too much!/
Yugi was breaking down fast. Ever since Alexa had gotten destroyed, he couldn't help himself…and it just all was against him. Yami realized how much Alexa was important to Yugi…or was he just acting that way out of his nature, not wanting anyone, good or bad, to suffer. It was, either way, obvious that Alexa had to be saved. He heard the voice loud, but still unclear, as if it was begging to be heard. The last shout had caught him off guard, so it struck him quite hard. He realized Yugi wasn't going to be alright until Alexa was back…but what were the words that she was so desperately trying to hear? Yami suddenly just focused on listening to the voice, drowning out all and everything, including Yugi. He then heard the words Alexa was saying, and they were very meaningful:
What you don't have, you don't need it now…
What you don't know, you can feel somehow…
Yami was suddenly stricken with there meaning. (I don't own this quote, it's part of the song "Beautiful Day" by U2, and U2 owns the song.) He realized that what was needed was there, and what he needed to know he did. He searched his mind for the answer, when it suddenly struck him what he had to do.
Yami- Pegasus, I have just figured out a way to save Alexa, making this duel over!
Pegasus- What do you mean it's over? You talk more than you do…
Yami- Well, I have to say that the way I'm saving her is probably the last thing anyone would do…however, I'm convinced it will work, because I know from experience…
Pegasus- What do you mean experience?
Yami- Well, I must thank your partner, Bokura, for showing me how…
Pegasus- Bokura?! Show you how to retrieve someone from the shadows?! You must be sadly mistaking, Yugi-boy! He only works for me!
Yami- Would you really call Bokura your worker, Pegasus? He only helps you when you're winning! That means that he's not there when you would need him most! That's why half of the duel, you knew nothing about Alexa's card, giving you a huge disadvantage!
Pegasus- That still doesn't explain how you plan to save your little girlfriend down there…
Yami- No, but it shows how you now know nothing. So behold, as I activate the magic card known as Soul Release!
Pegasus- You plan to rescue her by distinguishing her soul?! How very unkind…
Yami- But you see, I have the ability to release her soul from the graveyard…meaning that it goes back to where it came from! I release Dark Magician, Maha Vailo, Red Archery Girl, Magician of Faith, and Kuriboh!
Pegasus- No! How did you get that idea? Tell me!
Yami- Let's just say that although her soul may be gone, she's still living in those who believe in her!
Pegasus- Save it! I care not! Just because you don't have to worry about your "darling" little Alexa, doesn't mean you've won!
Yami- But I am only one move away from depleting your life points!
Pegasus- Grr!
Meanwhile, Alexa's soul had been brought back to the inside of the millennium puzzle, where she was recovering. Yugi quickly went to greet her in the puzzle, making sure she was alright.
Yugi- Alexa! You're back!
Alexa- Yugi! Yeah, I am back!
Alexa and Yugi- {hug…aww!}
Alexa- Thank you, Yugi, for saving me!
Yugi- Don't thank me, Yami was the one who was able to figure it all out!
Alexa- Did you hear me? Or was I just hallucinating when Yami actually figured it out?
Yugi- It was real. You helped us through that.
Alexa- Yeah, but we still have a ways to go. The duel hasn't been done yet.
Yugi- I think we have it covered, thanks to your two cards!
Alexa- My cards? Which ones were they?
Yugi- Your Mucus Yolk, and your Axe of Despair!?
Alexa- I did that?! I don't even remember…
Yugi- You don't remember?
Alexa- I just remember struggling to stay there…and then I blacked out. I wasn't even in the graveyard…I was just kind of there, but not really anywhere, you know? That's when I had the crazy idea to try and get your attention…and with my {sarcastic} absolutely beautiful singing voice I saved the day.
Yugi- {laughs} The point is, you're back!
Alexa- Yeah! We just have to finish that demon of a duelist, Pegasus!
Yugi- That shouldn't be a problem, not with your Mucus Yolk on the field!
Alexa- I hope not!
BACK AT THE DUEL….
Yami- Pegasus! My Mucus Yolk has more then enough attack points to wipe you out! Mucus Yolk, attack his life points directly!
Pegasus- I activate the trap card, known as Nutrient Z!
Yami- Oh no! That means you get 4,000 life points!
Pegasus- Of course, your 2,000 damage still gets done, but now I have 2,100 life points! And, I assume you are done?
Yami- Er…
Pegasus- Oh, all righty then… I activate a magic card known as Share the Pain!
Yami- What does that do?
Pegasus- It allows me to destroy one of my monsters as a sacrifice to destroy one of your monsters!
Yami- No! My Mucus Yolk!
Pegasus- Oh, and I'm sure you remember what Zolga does when it gets destroyed, don't you?
Yami- You get 2,000 life points! That's a total of 4,100! {chuckles} However, I am still in the lead by 500 points!
Pegasus- But that's not all! I play one monster card face down as well as one card face down on to the field.
Yami- My move! {thinking} Now, that was a deadly move! I hope I have something in Alexa's deck that's able to counter it! {draws} That's it! {out loud} I summon one monster in defense mode and one card face down as well. Now, do your worst!
Pegasus- I will, but only because you asked for it! I activate my face down card, Ultimate Offering!
Alexa- {telling Yugi/Yami} That's not good! Now he can summon as many monsters as he wants, but he has to pay 500 life points for each!
Yugi- {telling Yami/Alexa} Why would he activate it now? He should have summoned a monster regularly first!
Alexa- What a dumb white…(Get it? Dumb blond, dumb white? Ok, sorry, my attempt at a joke…)
Pegasus- So, I summon four other monsters, all in defense mode! So my life points, although at only 2,100, are completely safe!
Yami- {chuckles} Not quite, Pegasus!
Pegasus- What?!
Yami- Behold! The trap card known as Just Desserts!
Pegasus- Oh no! No oh no, oh no! There must be something I can do…no! No!
Yami- It deals 500 points of damage to your life points…for each monster you have on the field! Pegasus, the shadows are getting to you! You were so wrapped up in protecting your life points, you forgot that more then just monsters can deplete them! Now, you must return all of…{Alexa takes over since the shadows are gone} my friends to there bodies, as was bargained!
Pegasus- You! {points up to where the Evil Bokura dude is} You traitor! You were going to help me win the duel!
E.Bokura- {jumps down, and talks to Alexa} The only reason I'm doing this is so I can claim the millennium puzzle, since I wasn't the one dueling! As for you, Pegasus, I only help who I think can be worthy enough to aid me!
Pegasus- You steal my millennium eye and then torment me! You little….!
E.Bokura- Well, here are you're friends back, Alexa. But I swear we shall meet again!
Alexa- I'll be ready for it!
At that moment, E. Bokura changed back to Bokura, and the millennium eye fell to the ground. Alexa picked it up, and walked over to where there bodies were. She placed the millennium puzzle on Yugi's neck just as he came to, and handed him the eye.
Alexa- I thought Marik had this…but I know it belongs to you…
Yugi- Alexa, thanks for everything!
Alexa- No…I did nothing…
Yugi- Stop being so modest! You did a lot out there! And if it weren't for you…I wouldn't be standing here right now…
Alexa- It's all good, Yugi! Besides, I just, I…
Alexa stuttered for a while…then just stopped. She turned away as she began to blush…
Yugi- Alexa? Are you okay?
Alexa- Yeah, I…I…let's just say it was a true honor to help you Yugi!
Yugi- The honors mine, meeting such a great person as yourself…
Alexa- You took the words out of my mouth!
They laughed as they watched everyone else come to. That's when Alexa remembered one critical detail…
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
TCG- Sorry! I had to make this a cliffie! Against my plans, I didn't get a chance to update this before I left…sorry I took so long!
Yugi- The story is almost done, isn't it?
TCG- Yep…only two more chapters…However, I shall have a sequel!
Yugi- Yeah! I like sequels!
TCG- Me too! Any ways, please review! Tell me how I do making up duels…this one is the last for this story!
Yugi- Aww…I like the duels!
TCG- Me too! I'm sorry this story is sort of short…but I had writers block, and since it took me so long to update, I wanted to get this done!
Yugi- I was getting impatient…
TCG- You read the whole thing before anyone Yuge…
Yugi- Oh yeah…except you!
TCG- {sweatdrop} That's not the point! Also, did anyone see the teeny tiny bit of romance I snuck in? Huh? Did ya? No? Oh well, I tried…
Yugi- Yep…
TCG- Well, bai!
Yugi- Yep, it's bye the Japanese way! Adios!
TCG- That's Spanish, Yuge…
Yugi- It is? Oh…well I meant Bai is Japanese bye…oh never mind!
TCG- Until next time…bye! Read and Review, please!
