Yu-Gi-Oh!

The Games of Light & Shadow

part ii

Soon Yugi and I turned in to the park and found a nice little stretch of grass surrounded by leafy vivid-green trees. Yugi stood at one end, while I positioned myself at the other.

Yugi Mutoh extended his arm and the deck of his Disk shot forward before slinging right back and locking in place, activating with a resounding beep.

"Ready?" he asked, raising his forearm, thus his Duel Disk.

"Yes!" I called, "I think! I've never used one of these before but I've seen them used." I pushed a button and my Duel Disk's holo-emitters flew out with a blast of pressurized air, landing at the edge of the clearing.

The same happened for Yugi's, and our Life Point counters set to 4000.

"I'll go first!" I shouted, pulling five cards and then a sixth to start my turn.

I grimaced when I saw that I hadn't a single Monster card in my Hand; four were Magic and two were Trap. 'Great,' I thought. Then I smiled – one of my Traps was Type Zero Magic Crusher. 'Well, Yugi'll be able to get me good since I can't put any Monsters on the field, so . . . I'd better hit his Life Points as hard as I can while I can."

"I play Type Zero Magic Crusher!" I called and the card came upon the field, "This deals 500 points of Direct Damage for each Magic card I get rid of, and I have four!" I discarded them.

Yugi took a step back, cringing as his Life Points dropped to 2000.

I gasped with my hand over my mouth. "Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be so mean!"

Yugi waved it off, though sweat was now rolling down his face. "It's okay, the Rules say you can do stuff like that. But, now it's my turn! Watch this!" He pulled a card from his hand, "I summon the Dark Magician in Attack mode!"

"Oh no!" I cried, as the purple Mage appeared before his master. I took a step back.

Yugi looked at me, one eyebrow raised. "You didn't put any Monsters on the field,"

I sighed disheartened, "I know," and drew four more cards to even out my Hand, after all, we were playing by Street Duelist Rules; there was a Monster in my hand now, but it wasn't my turn. "Go ahead," I said, bracing myself for the attack.

Yugi blinked. "Well, I'll make sure he goes easy on you. Go Dark Magician, attack her Life Points directly!"

The Dark Magician flew forward and — gave me a quick bonk on the head with his staff.

"Ow!" I said, rubbing my sore head; my Life Points fell to 1500. I looked up at Yugi, and we both smiled. "Thanks!" I shouted, realizing he could've had his Mage use his Dark Magic attack instead.

"My turn!" I shouted.

ooooooooooooooooooooo

The crashing of glass pierced the air as a window on the 20th floor of Kaiba Tower shattered through.

Yami gasped at the sudden empty air around him, and he fell. The glass fell also, the shards cutting his face and hands.

The ground seemed to leap up at Yami, and he gave a shout in some attempt to summon his Shadow Powers and keep himself from plowing into the pavement below.

The Millennium Symbol blazed forth on his forehead and a transparent gold sphere appeared around him. Yami hit the pavement, though nowhere near as hard as he would have.

Still he lay there, winded, unable to move for the moment. He blinked and felt some warm liquid run down his cheek; it ran to the corner of his mouth and he tasted blood. He gritted his teeth and tried to get up; glass slid from him as he began to move, tinkling on the ground. Then he heard a laugh.

The doors at the base of the Tower opened and out came a fat ugly man with tufts of fuchsia hair on his head. The layers of flesh surrounding the man's jaw hid his neck from sight and his bloated lips were curved in a wicked smile.

He was none other than Seto Kaiba's dark side whom Yami had defeated and previously banished to the Shadow Realm. "Well you were lucky weren't you," he sneered, stepping right up to Yami who had managed to get to his hands and knees.

Yami clenched his hands into fists, bloodied though they were, and shot back a look of hostile abhorrence. "You should fear me, Abiak," he growled, "What I've done to you before, I can do again!"

Kaiba's dark side stopped smiling. "In that respect dear Pharaoh, I'm afraid you're mistaken. You see, I no longer fear your Shadow Powers; simply because I know they pale in comparison to that which I just used on you. I'm no longer as weak as I used to be, and that's bad news for you."

A black crystal hanging around Abiak's neck began to glow. Yami tried to get up, but instantly a black energy burst blasted forth from the crystal, throwing Yami back against the cement of the walkway!

Yami cried out as there came a burning on his back, and for a moment the throbbing in his skull was intense.

"No dear Pharaoh," Abiak continued, "I've discovered your secret."

Yami looked at the evil man painfully.

"You're a Shadow, Pharaoh, and nothing more. That's what you became when you succumbed to your golden cage. You can't deny it, because you use Shadow Powers!" Abiak gave a sick little giggle. "And it is because of this fact that I know what I shall do! As everyone knows, there's no such thing as a shadow in the dark; the darkness consumes all shadows. A Shadow needs Light to exist, without Light it dies, and that's my plan."

'He means Yugi! My Light! What is he planning?' Yami sat up as best he could; the lids of his eyes were greatly drawn back.

"So, no dear Pharaoh," said Abiak, reaching down and grabbing hold of Yami's leather collar, "It is you who should fear ME."

Yami glared at him and immediately his golden third Eye flared to life, as did the power of Abiak's black crystal; the gold and the black energy forces collided. There was a moment of struggle before there came a soundless explosion.

Yami was slammed back, striking the pavement so hard he was instantly rendered unconscious. Kaiba's dark side, however, merely stumbled back.

"Tsk, tsk," he said, waving his finger at Yami's prone figure, "When will you learn, Shadows have no power against Darkness. Only Light has a chance, but I plan to change that."

Abiak then looked up from the Pharaoh's body, suddenly aware of the presence of several people standing along the sidewalk staring at the scene.

"Now, now," he said, "It isn't polite to stare." He then bent, caught up one of Yami's ankles, and turned, dragging Yugi's Shadow back into Kaiba Tower.

One of the girls on the sidewalk pulled her cell phone from her purse.

"Quick!" her brother told her, "Call the police!"

"What do you think I'm doing?" she barked, with the speaker to her ear.
