Y-n-Y: Heheh, only one episode this time. Wasn't much of a cliffy, so I left it as one chapter. Gah... four days until the movie... THEY'RE GONNA RUIN IT!!! !! Lol... well... maybe, maybe not. The trailor looks okay, I suppose. Guess I'll just have to wait until Friday. Unless some nice person decides to upload it on the newsgroups... nn;;

Episode 147: The Nameless Dragon Timaios (Namonaki Ryuu TIMAIOSU)

Oh, what's this now? Some else knows about Mou Hitori no Boku? Word travels fast these days, now doesn't it?

Or maybe, just maybe, Professor Hopkins noticed the resemblance between me and the Pharaoh carved on the stone carving. Well, it wouldn't be a first if he hadn't. We all know Kaiba-kun refused to see it.

Oh, so he did recognize the resemblance. Good. And here I thought people were actually going blind.

He tells me now that he thinks I could save humanity from a terrible crisis. All right, nothing new there. Then he goes onto saying how he studies the origins of everyone's favorite card game and saying how some people back then were corrupted and one who did resist this evil power was the nameless Pharaoh.

Hm...

So why is he bringing that up now?

So of course, he has to go into a long story about finding carvings of Duel Monsters destroying a civilization over 10,000. I pretty much zone out until I hear Rebecca is in college.

Hopkins says there must be a reason why the nameless Pharaoh was reborn. I feel my heart drop slightly when I hear him mentioned again. I couldn't figure out why I feel as if I hate the thought of him even being the slightest but disappointed in me.

'Mou Hitori no Boku?'

'Yes?'

'I—' Events of yesterday flood my feelings, but I can't seem to put what I want to say in words. I feel that he seemed busy as he, too, was listening to the conversation and shake my head. 'No... nevermind.'

Grandpa decides to see Rebecca and Hopkins off at the airport and Rebecca kisses my cheek good-bye. Look, Anzu's jealous again.

After Mou Hitori no Boku says he still doesn't remember any of his past. I hear a girl's voice call for help. I look around and see no one. What the...? Great, now I have another voice in my head.

That night it seems both me and Mou Hitori no Boku have too much on our minds to sleep and I guess he came out to keep me company.

"Mou Hitori no Boku?"

"What is it?"

I look down at my hands, away from his eyes. "Last night... the cards..." I could barely talk in complete sentences as I try to explain my regret.

"We'll find another way to get them back."

"If what Professor Hopkins said was going to happen, does... we need to stick together." He nods in agreement. "What I mean is... We should clear the air, so neither one of us is upset with the other."

"Clear the air?"

"I-I... since yesterday, I've felt like you were upset with me and kept yourself distant."

"I'm not upset with you."

I shake my head in frustration. "Then why don't you talk to me? You just keep saying 'We'll get the cards back,' but you haven't accepted my apology for losing them. Or you haven't said it's not my fault."

"Aibou... you haven't done anything the merits an apology. If I am upset with anyone it is with me." I look up at him, but he places a ghostly finger on my lips. "I didn't take into account on how you would feel for me leaving and perhaps not returning. If not regaining my memories conflicts with your best interests, than I will not regain them."

"But all that work—"

"I am happy here."

I blink, not understanding. He was lying and we both knew it. I lie back down and close my eyes. "Good-night."

"Aibou—"

"Good-night." I feel him retreat into the puzzle and I fall asleep shortly after.

Oh, well... only for a couple minutes before I heard I voice calling for help. I wake up to find myself in Mou Hitori no Boku's soul room. He tells me he's been hearing a voice, too, but hasn't found the origins.

And so, the chase after the little fuzz ball began. We stumbled upon a door that Kuribo had disappeared through. And, to make a long story short, Black Magician Girl need our help to save her world and ours. So, together, me and Mou Hitori no Boku, pulled out a sword from a crystalline statue of a nameless dragon. Immediately, we knew its name. It was the oddest feeling... like I, too, had a memory waiting to be unlocked.

Its name: Timaios.

Not so nameless, now is he?

I wake up in a cold sweat and see an aurora in the sky. Pretty... but always NOT a good sign. I hurry outside, carrying my duel disk, briefly stopping to tell Grandpa where I was going. I see the others in the city and go to meet them.

Suddenly, I huge tornado drifts from the sky and aims at... guess... c'mon, I know you can do it.

Yep, directly at me.

I feel so lucky. I'm just glad that the top card in my deck glowed and when I pulled it, it was the nameless dragon. 'It's Timaios, Mou Hitori no Boku! It's wasn't just a dream!'

I feel him nod. 'Summon it.'

'With the Duel Disk?'

'No... Look at those monsters in the sky. They are real, not some image created by man.'

I nodded and understanding what he meant, I called out for the dragon. I felt victory flow through my soul that I knew came from my other half. I smiled a bit, glad to see him acting as normal.

I watch as Timaios fights against the large eye in the sky, awed from the fact that they were real. I knew, once upon a time, they were, but I never expected to see one myself. 'Mou Hitori no Boku, they're real.'

'Yes, as they were 3000 years ago.'

I nod. 'Do you... remember any of it?'

I feel him hesitate before he answers. 'No.'

Another lie. Since when have we started keeping things from each other? It started with Battle City. Eventually I figured out why he wanted to join... but he never told me anything.

I turn my attention back to the fight to see Timaios destroy the eye. The dragon disappears back into the card and Black Magician Girl appears. She thanks us for helping, but says the dark power is still hidden something and the other Duel Monsters are still trapped. She tells us we must defeat the evil god or the worlds will be destroyed.

My life is never simple is it?

She disappears, along with the aurora. We realize the card is our power to help defeat the evil god. I turn my eyes from him and look down at the card, thinking I must've done something wrong along the way to cause him not to trust me anymore.

"Aibou, what's wrong?"

I keep my focus on the card and shake my head softly. "It's nothing." And now I'm lying. Well, if he can't trust me, how can I trust him? And like me, he knows that I am lying.

Y-n-Y: Heh, I like my additions. Gotta create more YYxY-ness somewhere in here. Hope you guys liked this chapter!
