Her Father's Wings

Duelist Child Tournament!!

One day the whole world looks

Like an open page

You've been dancing as fast as you can

With a smile on your face

And the earth and the sky they open together

To carry me away as light as a feather

Chase the clouds from the ground

In the big blue sky

Don't want to watch it all go by

So I'm gonna fly

Even though Seina had learned to duel less than a day ago, Yugi noticed that she was already as good (if not better) than her parents. She seemed to understand what her cards were saying, like Anthy, she listened to them. Yugi saw many of Anthy's good and bad points in her. Her inner understanding of her cards, her short fuse, etc... But Yugi also noticed Yami in her. Her actions, her temper, her stance, she was indeed Yami's daughter.

Seina wore the Sennen Puzzle in the same manner that Yugi has, on a silver chain. There was still magic in it, Yugi could sense it. He dug through his keepsake drawer and pulled out a metal ear clip. It contained not only Anthy's duel disk, but her link to Chimera. It was to be Seina's.

The doorbell rang, and Yugi answered it.

"Seto!"

"Yugi!"

"Kaylynn!"

"Yugi-kun!"

Seina was heard jumping from the stairs and onto the landing before rushing into the front hallway and into the arms of Seto. Their twins, Kakyo and Tasuki, appeared behind Seto. They all laughed as he swung her in a circle. After the swinging, Yugi brought them into the dining room, where they could sit and talk.

"Yugi, there is going to be another tournament here in Domino." Seto said.

"I see. Are your sons participating?"

"Yes. It's open to both teams and singles, but they must be under 20. The rules are basically the same as when I did Battle City, but instead of puzzle cards, you collect jewel shards."

"Are the duel disks the same?"

"Yeah, but more 'real'. I'd like to see Seina with Anthy's disk..."

"I was planning to give it to her soon."

"It starts tomorrow, noon. You need seven shards to make it to the 'final arena'."

Seto's voice then dropped to a whisper, for Seina, Tasuki and Kakyo were off in other rooms dueling.

"I think that there is something deeper. Industrial Illusions is sponsoring it. Pegasus's grandchildren are advertising it."

"Yui and Maze? Do you think..."

"I wouldn't take chances."

That evening, Seina received her invitation to the tournament. She showed it to Yugi, and then said that she'd have to go and buy a duel disk. Yugi shook his head and said that she already had one. Yugi showed her the ear-clip. Seina began to laugh.

"That's a duel disk? You're joking."

"No. It was your mother's disk and it was her connection to all electronic devices in the world."

Yugi clipped it to Seina's left ear and guided her finger to where the button was. She clicked it and a strange whirring sound was heard.

The middle of her forearm exposed a circle that jutted up to become the deck holder for the disk. Two long rods shot from one side, becoming what would be the card holder and information receiver. Spikes lined the end of card slot rods that appeared. Her LP counter flashed brightly and waited for a duel. The ear-clip expanded to cover her ear and wires plugged into her neck. A blue info-screen jutted out and folded in front of Seina's left eye.

"Woah...this was Mom's? All this stuff happened instantly and it didn't hurt." Seina asked.

You have the gene...Chimera is yours now.Yugi thought before nodding to Seina.

"How do I make it retract? And it won't spring up again if I sleep on it...right?"

"Say 'Chimera, retract disk' to make it retract itself, and it only activates to your fingerprint." Yugi said before leading her into the yard and telling her to lay a monster in face-up attack mode.

Seina summoned the Black Unicorn, and was amazed to see it manifest before her. It looked so...real.

The next morning came fast. Seina dressed in her duelist gear (think of a hybrid of Yami, Varin and Amelda's outfits) and placed the Sennen Puzzle around her neck. She ate breakfast and hugged Yugi before heading off to hear the starting whistle. She was determined to become the winner.

She met Tasuki and Kakyo on the way.

Tasuki and Kakyo were fraternal twins. Tasuki had shoulder length mahogany hair, cobalt-blue eyes and dressed like Seto. He was bold, outgoing, and if he hated you, you'd know it. Kakyo, on the other hand, was a long-time admirer of Yami. He dressed like him as best he could. Kakyo had short dark brown (almost black) hair and grayish-blue eyes. Tasuki was always looking out for Kakyo, because Kakyo was blind.

But mind you, that blindness didn't stop him from dueling. On the contrary, Kakyo had sort of a "second sight". He knew what card he had, what card the enemy played, his current LP, and just about anything about a duel. He and Tasuki had become one of the greatest team duelists ever.

"Hello! Are you going to the tournament?" Seina asked.

"Yeah. Maybe we'll have to duel." Tasuki said.

"Not right off the bat. We have to at least have some self-control."

"I hear that you have a fusion deck." Kakyo asked.

"Yeah, it's a mix of my mother and father's decks. We'd better hurry or we'll be late, come on!" Seina said.

There were literally hundreds of duelists at the meeting place. Seina waved good-bye to Kakyo and Tasuki. She wandered around the plaza where the duelists stood. She saw no one she knew, but was hoping that she wasn't crushed by anyone too early. She saw an envelope, and her name was on it. She scooped it off the ground and it surrendered a red jewel shard and a note about rules.

At noon, the starting whistle blew and people spread out. Tasuki and Kakyo were already dueling. Seina slipped the note and shard into her pocket and walked around. She walked around randomly for about ten minutes before a boy with short blonde hair and a smug look on his face singled her out.

"Hey, you're the daughter of Yami. I'm Fernier, and I challenge you to a duel." He said.

"I accept. Prepare to die."

Seina clicked the button on her ear clip and her opponent stepped back as her duel disk emerged. Seina clicked her deck into the holder and pulled five cards. She watched Fernier closely as he made his first move.

"I place one card face-down and place Stargazer in attack mode!"

Seina saw a great white wolf stand before her, attempting to intimidate her with loud growls and snarls. Seina just shook it off.

"I play two cards face-down and play Naaza, the Black Unicorn in attack mode!"

Naaza was not intimidated by the wolf. She was the personification of wild.

"Naaza! Attack!"

With one swift jump, Naaza crushed Stargazer's skull under her hooves. 600 damage was done to Fernier. He scowled and looked at Naaza, and at Seina behind. Her two face-down cards glared at him, daring him to risk anything. He placed another card face-down and placed Silver Fang in defense mode.

"I play Kakui in defense mode. And I end my turn."

"I play Fianna---the winter wolf, in defense mode and play Rite of Fire!"

Flames erupted from the ground and Seina cried as the flames enveloped her unicorn. She clicked a button and her trap card activated.

"Trap! Phoenix Gift!!!"

Naaza was consumed, but the flames wheeled around and attacked Fernier. They each took 2000 points of damage.

Score: Seina 2000 LP Fernier 1400

"You die now." Seina hissed.

She drew her card and looked at her little cat-like fairy sitting on the field. A grin spread over her face.

"In the Land of Visible Pain, there reigned a mage whose sole purpose in life was to destroy. When Kakui was hit by this mage's spell, she became insanely powerful. Her body changed, and she soon became known as the Chaos Rayith! Magic card activate! Chaos Rising Ritual!"

A bright light sprang up before Kakui and she was soon surrounded by a brilliant light. From the light came a panther-like creature. It was as tall as a horse, and sported great white bird wings. Its body was adorned with gold ornaments and jewelry. It fixed its gold eyes on Fernier and screeched.

"Chaos Rayith Attack! Shining Blaze!"

A beam of silvery blue light shot from the Chaos Rayith's mouth and hit Fernier dead on. He cried out in pain as his LP dropped to zero. The Chaos Rayith and Seina shouted in victory. The CR ran over to Seina and Seina hugged her. They were each other. The bond was there.

Fernier surrendered his jewel shard, and Seina watched as the two she now had melded into one larger piece. Seina grinned and retracted her disk.

"Watch out champions, I'm coming for ya!"
