The Chaos Effect: Extended Edition!
------Prologue------
"Give back the Millennium Ring you stole, and return the soul of the young boy you inhabit!" commanded Yami, King of Games. Before him stood a spirit that bore the likeness of the boy, Ryou Bakura.
"Never," said the spirit, "The boy and the Millennium Ring are mine! I've waited too long for this!"
"Once again, you trespass in the realm of my soul. This cannot be forgiven!" Yami took his deck from his belt, and drew five cards.
"Be careful, Yugi!" Tea cried from the sidelines.
"Go get him, pal!" Joey cheered, holding a bag, containing the other Millennium Items. Once again, they had gathered them all from the corners of the earth.
"Hey Shadi," Tristan said, "you think once we get the Millennium Ring back, everything will be okay again?"
"I don't know," Shadi said. "The Millennium Items are dangerous weapons in the wrong hands. They can be used as tools of peace, but I doubt that this spirit sealed within the Ring sees that. He sees the Items as tools for power. And I believe that he does not seek them for himself, alone. There is a greater evil behind him; one we cannot see, as of yet."
"Yes, Pharaoh," the Spirit said, "To determine who will control all seven Millennium Items. Then, my mission will be complete, and I will be free!"
"Make your move!" Yami commanded.
------------- Scene Break------------
"Move it!" Inu-yasha barked at his companions. The five of them stood on the edge of the great sea, in Feudal Japan, facing yet another of Naraku's puppets.
"Li Zhou," Naraku commanded.
"Yes, Master," the shadowy figure said.
"Take care of them." the baboon cloaked demon commanded. "I have business with Kagura, elsewhere."
"Yes, Master," said the white haired incarnation. He barreled down on the five warriors, firing Dark Lightning at them.
"AGH! Inu-yasha," Shippo cried, dodging the bolts, "He's too powerful!"
"Bull!" Inu-yasha declared, "I can take Mr. Platinum Blond in a second." he boasted.
"Inu-yasha, I agree with Shippo," Miroku said, looking wearily at the swarms of insects that kept them pinned there, with no way to escape. "This incarnation is too strong. We must retreat."
"Never!" Inu-yasha cried. He ran forward, and as Li Zhou extended his hand to fire, Inu-yasha began the Backlash Wave.
------------ Scene Break------------
"I summon the Dark Magician!" Yami called. The Magician appeared beside the behemoth, Buster Blader n front of the young King. "And Now I combine him and Buster Blader to become: The Dark Paladin!"
"NO!" the spirit cried. His Dark Necrofear was no match for Dark Paladin.
"Yes," said Yami. "And with the powers of my dragons that have been sent to the Graveyard - Winged Guardian, Kimori Dragon, Curse of Dragon, and the Blackland Fire Dragon- I use my Paladin, with 4900 attack points, to obliterate your Dark Necrofear,and win back control of Bakurs's body!" In a blink of an eye, the Paladin rose, and slashed Necrofear through the mid-section, causing it to shriek as it burst into a billion particles of light.
"NO!" the spirit cried as he felt himself slipping away. "No! I will not go back! I will not go to the Shadows! MASTER!" he cried in vain, "MASTER! HELP ME!" his cried echoed as the Ring drew him back within it's chambers. And all that was left was their friend, tired, and weak from the struggle.
"It's over," Yami said, taking the Millennium Ring from around Bakura's neck.
-------------Scene Break-----------
"Till next time, half breed," Li Zhou said, nursing his wounded side. He disappeared into the shadow of the cloaked forest.
"D----- it!" Inu-yasha cursed, sheathing the Tetsusaiga. "I almost had him."
"Let it go, Inu-yasha," Kagome said. "We have to go back to the village."
"Why?" Inu-yasha said. "We can still catch him!"
"I have a test tomorrow!" Kagome yelled. "And I've been for a month! I'm already super behind. I just barely got into to High school because of coming here!"
"Then do me a favor and stay in your stupid era!" Inu-yasha screamed at her.
"Fine, maybe I will!" she yelled back. "Maybe there I'll find a nicer boyfriend than you!"
"Not again," Sango sighed.
"Indeed," Miroku said in agreement. "This is getting out of hand again. Oh well. Give them some time apart, and they'll be alright."
--------------- That Night ----------
'The winds of fate are growing strong'. That is the thought that ran through The Game King's mind as the stars above twinkled in the inky-black sky, and the rain fell like liquid lead. Outside a storm was raging, like a wild boar, while inside the home of young Yugi Mutou, there was peace. The Game King, known to the sleeping boy as the spirit Yami, knew this storm was no ordinary springtime weather pattern. As long as Yami's spirit thrived, he would do all he could to protect his young reincarnation, and the boy's friends, from whatever these turbulent winds brought.
-------------Scene Break--------------
He could smell it coming. As the han-you, Inu-yasha, lay sleeping outside of his beloved Kagome's, window in the rain, Myoga the flea smelled change coming. What that change would be, he could not guess, but, "It will mean trouble for lord Inu-Yasha," he said to himself. "Yes, trouble indeed. Oh darn it!" the flea spat as more water drenched him, while he clung to his master's white hair "Why does he always choose to sleep out here, and on a night like this! I need a towel!"
------------Scene Break------------
The wind grew stronger, the rain heavier, the thunder louder. In a flash of light, and a loud BANG of thunder, the trees surrounding Domino High fell on the school. Glass broke, desks were smashed, and books in the library were ripped apart and soaked. It was all in an instant, but when it was over, the debris was almost still. The only movement was that of book pages flapping in the wind. None would know of this incident until dawn, but the cosmos had felt it. This event would change nine young lives forever, though non would know until it was too late...
----------- Scene Break--------------
Joey Wheeler's dreams were not peaceful this night. Instead of dreaming his usual dreams, like the mountain of burgers, winning the world's greatest motorcycle contest, or even those few dreams he had of the lovely duelist, Mai Valentine, he had a dream that he thought he'd gotten rid of. A dream he hoped he had outgrown. The haunting dream he had dreamed from the time he had turned four, until just three years ago, when he and Yugi had become friends...
-----------The sky was as bright as day, but not from the sun. The old Japanese palace was a blazing inferno. He was trapped! Then, just as suddenly, it was gone. The fire, the palace, all gone. He was alone in the night, when she came out of the old forest. Her sad brown eyes were on the verge of tears. Her black hair shone bright in the moonlight. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Then, her lips moved, forming his name, but he heard no sound... and she turned from him, running away, away to the arms of... a monster... all the while, he was desperately calling her name------------
He was drenched in a cold sweat when he bolted out of bed. The storm was over, and the sun was peaking through the clouds as it rose. He could never remember that girl's name, when ever he woke from that dream. What always stuck was that burning palace, the fear of being trapped there. And her face. Though now it's image was fading, as it always did, he still felt that sense of heartbreak, how he didn't want to lose her, especially since she ran from his arms to those of a horrible, unseen monster.
"Hey, what do I care about some stupid dream. I stopped having that one when I was a kid. I'm a man now. I'm Joey Wheeler, one o' the best gamers in the world!" Suddenly, his alarm clock went off, bringing the young man out of his delusions. "Holy crap!" he shouted, "I got school, and I'm runnin' late!"
