Yes, at long last I'm updating this fic. I finally got motivated again, so
be happy I updated. Some of my fans may have noticed some of my old fics
are gone. The reason is the fic died. That's when I am unable to keep
writing the fic for one reason or another. This is one of the fics I don't
intend to have or let die, so that's a plus, right?
"Well Yugi, you see there's people that are sort of different, like me. It's not really well known right now, but some people have this gene that's responsible for a lot of things, including powers, like this. Do you understand?" Kurt told Yugi as he teleported around a bit to show Yugi what he meant.
Yugi was a bit surprised, but Yami Yugi wasn't. In fact, he had a smirk of understanding.
"I understand what you mean better than you think Kurt. I too have my own abilities."
"You mean you are a mutant?" Kurt asked.
Yami Yugi winced mentally.
'So that is what others call those like Kurt....I feel so sorry for him and those like him...' Yami Yugi thought.
'So do I.' The true Yugi thought.
"Not quite. Do you see this pendant around my neck?" Yami Yugi asked Kurt.
"It's kind of hard to miss."
"This is a Millennium Item, and they have dark powers that have been sealed away in them."
"Whoa, wait a minute, dark power???" Kurt asked, sounding frightened.
"Don't worry Kurt, the power is dark, but it's who is using it that makes it good or evil. These items are tied to the Duel Monsters card game, which is in truth based on the Shadow Games five thousand years ago. I have the Millennium Puzzle, which holds the spirit of who you are talking to right now."
"You mean you aren't Yugi?"
"No, but I will help Yugi and his friends, including you, if needed. Now I know your secret, and you know mine. You can trust me with your secret. Can I trust you with mine?"
Kurt was confused by the turn of events, but he knew Yugi was a friend, and truly wanted to help.
"Yes, you can trust me."
Kurt's inducer then shorted back into working order.
"Whew, I was hoping I wouldn't have to show myself to the others. My appearance isn't exactly charming..."
"Let's go. The others may need us."
Yami Yugi and Kurt then chose to run the rest of the way.
"Hey Yugi." Kurt said.
"Yes?" Yami Yugi replied.
"When you said Millennium Item, does that mean there are more?"
"Yes Kurt. Pegasus himself has one, the Millennium Eye, which can see into the minds and hearts of others. That is how he read your mind and Bobby's earlier."
Kurt took all of this in roughly, confused by it, but with what he has seen, he knew there were more implausible things...
"Come ON! We have to duel you to get out of here!" Bobby shouted.
Manga Ryu-Ran just stood there, lazily sleeping away the day.
"Geez, Pegasus didn't say his goons would be this hard...." Tristan commented.
"What'da mean hard?" Joey asked.
"Technically, if the guard refuses to duel, then we have to wait until he chooses to if we want out of here according to Pegasus' rules...." Bakura told Joey.
"WHAT!?!?! I DON'T WANNA WAIT UNTIL I'M A GEEZER!!!!" Joey shouted.
The group then all had rather shocking thoughts of how they'd look like old people stuck in the maze. Each of them sweatdropped, but Yami Bakura, the one in control, and having already been alive and aware for five millenniums, reacted the worst.
'I've already been trapped in this Ring for too long! I don't want to be stuck in this maze for nearly a century!' He yelled in his head.
"We've got to get out of here!" He yelped, still impersonating Ryou.
"Oooooooooooooooooooh Ryuuuuuuuuu-Raaaaan!"
The group blinked when they looked past Manga Ryu-Ran and saw.....Pegasus......in a chef's hat and apron.....with a triangle which he rang with a metal stick. They all sweatdropped. The ringing, however, woke Ryu-Ran, who practically teleported in front of Pegasus he moved so fast.
"Yum! I'm hungry!" He yelped.
Pegasus then took off his hat, dropped the triangle into it, and put the hat back on.
"Absolutely.....nothing."
Ryu-Ran's jaw dropped and hit the floor. In the control room, Mokuba was snickering.
"WHAT!?!?!"
"Unless you duel Bobby, you're not even getting a crumb."
Ryu-Ran sweatdropped.
"But I don't-"
"Ah-ah-ah. Who's the boss?"
"You, but-"
"And who's the chef?"
"...You."
"Right, so what I say, goes. Now you get in there and duel!"
Ryu-Ran plodded back to Bobby, with anger steam over his head, as Pegasus walked out.
"Right, we're using a mix of Kaiba's rules for his gauntlets and Duelist Kingdom rules....let's get this over with, I'm hungry!"
The group was somewhat annoyed at Ryu-Ran's annoying behavior. The duel commenced, both duelists' Life Points at 4000.
"4000? That's not Duelist Kingdom or Kaiba's gauntlets..." Bobby noted.
"It's between the two, now make your move, I want my dinner...."
In the control room, Seto was thinking.
'Hmmm....4000 life points is more balanced than the 8000 I had set for the tournament.....I think I'll use that sometime......'
Back in the duel, Bobby drew 5 cards, then one for his draw.
'Okay, I got a good starting hand.'
"I'll set 2 cards on the field, and summon Panther Warrior in attack mode!" Bobby declared.
Between the two, two giant cards were face-down, and a mighty looking half-human half-panther sprang up wielding a giant sword. The monster's attack and defense were displayed. 2000 attack, 1600 defense.
"Now THAT is a cool-looking card." Joey commented.
"I can't attack yet, so your move, tubby." Bobby told Ryu-Ran.
Ryu-Ran either didn't hear the insult, or ignored it. Then he drew a card.
"I'll set this and summon this in attack mode."
A trap was set on Ryu-Ran's side of the field, and the monster he summoned sprang up, and took form of a human being sitting cross-legged in mid-air, with an aura of flames behind him. The monster's statistics were 1300/1000, and no special effect.
"That's it. Your turn."
Bobby drew his card, and was a bit surprised.
'What's he doing summoning such a weak monster? Doesn't he know I can slaughter it with Panther Warrior? Maybe he knows Panther Warrior's catch....'
"What's the trick, egg butt? I know I can't attack with Panther Warrior without offering a monster on my field, but that's still a dumb play..."
"Just make your move...."
Bobby blinked.
"Oooooo-kay..... I'll activate one of my set cards, which is Scapegoat!"
The spell card activated, and four tiny goats, one pink, one green, one blue, and one purple, appeared on Bobby's field, all with 0 attack or defense.
"Scapegoat makes four little goat monsters on my field in defense. They don't have any attack, defense, and they can't be tributed to summon monsters if you play by the tribute rules-"
"Which we aren't." Ryu-Ran interrupted.
"...But they CAN be tributed for effects like Panther Warrior! Panther Warrior, attack Fireyarou!"
One of the goats Bobby had vanishes, and Panther Warrior leaps at Fireyarou, cutting it in half, and bringing Ryu-Ran's life points down to 3300.
"All right! Cool combo! Can I use that sometime?" Joey asked Bobby.
"Sure! My turn's over Ryu-Ran."
Ryu-Ran drew a card and yawned.
"Okay, I'll play UFO Turtle in attack mode."
A large turtle with a shell that looked like a circular space-ship appeared. It's attack 1400, and it's defense 1200.
"You know what it does, right?"
"Yeah, when destroyed in battle, you special summon a Fire monster from your deck with 1500 attack or less in attack mode....but what the heck are you doing???" Bobby said.
Meanwhile, in the control room, Seto was laughing.
"What a joke! If Pegasus can't do any better, this will be over and we'll be out of here in minutes!"
Back in the inferno room, Bobby was annoyed while Ryu-Ran yawned.
"Uh-huh, end turn."
Bobby drew, and everyone was curious.
"Hey guys!" Kurt shouted out.
They turned to face Kurt and Yami Yugi, who arrived in the room.
"Hey Kurt!" Bobby yelled out.
"You forfeiting?" Ryu-Ran asked.
"WHAT!?! NO!" Bobby turned back to Ryu-Ran, angry.
"Then don't leave the duel..."
"What's going on?" Yami Yugi asked.
"Ryu-Ran and Bobby are dueling, but Ryu-Ran is making bad moves...." Tea told him.
"I think he's trying to throw the duel." Bakura stated.
"What, why?" Kurt asked.
"Apparently Pegasus' illusionary goons have personalities, and Ryu- Ran's is lazy, a glutton, and impatient. Pegasus had to bribe Ryu-Ran with dinner to make him duel, and he's trying to get the duel done as fast as possible to get food." Bakura explained.
"Then I don't think Bobby will have any trouble." Tristan noted.
"All right yolk breath, I summon my second Panther Warrior, and attack UFO Turtle!"
One goat vanished, and one Panther Warrior chopped the Turtle in half, reducing Ryu-Ran's life points to 2700.
"I'll use UFO Turtle to Special Summon Flame Manipulator from my deck in attack mode."
Ryu-Ran's next monster was another humanoid one in flames, this one with 900 attack and 1000 defense.
"This is too easy. My second Panther Warrior attacks Flame Manipulator!"
Another goat vanishes, leaving only one left, and Bobby's other Panther Warrior attacks Flame Manipulator, destroying it, and bringing Ryu- Ran's lifepoints down to 1600.
"Go Bobby! You da man!" Joey shouted.
"Your turn scaly!" Bobby shouted to Ryu-Ran.
Ryu-Ran then drew a card.
"Okay, I'll play-"
"HOLD IT YOU!!!"
The group sweatdropped, Ryu-Ran in particular, when Pegasus came back in, angry.
"What'd I do...?" Ryu-Ran asked.
"Why are you intentionally losing?" Pegasus asked.
"You said I'd get dinner if I duel, and I'm dueling."
Pegasus had an anger vein appear on his forehead, and anger steam over his head. Bobby and the others were thinking of laughing, until....
"That is IT mister! You are going to duel, and WIN, or no supper for a week! You need a diet anyway!" Pegasus shouted.
Ryu-Ran stood there, jaw open, eyes blank, slight drool coming out of his mouth.
"Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu."
"No buts, now duel like you mean it!" Pegasus yelled as he stormed out of the room.
"This isn't good..." Yami Yugi noted, "Pegasus is the creator of the card game we know today, which means he knows every strategy, every card, every possible play. Ryu-Ran's deck, as well as the others, will be powerful..."
"Hey Yugi..." Kurt whispered to Yami Yugi.
"Yes?" he whispered back.
"I feel like someone's watching us...."
"So do I...."
Ryu-Ran's face then turned deep red, and his head had a volcano erupt on it.
"All right! THAT'S IT!!! TUBBY, EH!?! EGG BUTT, EH!?! I'll show YOU!!! I'll play Field card Molten Destruction!"
The room then gurgled and churned, and the area Bobby and Ryu-Ran were dueling became surrounded by lava as volcanos came out of the floor, and started pouring lava. In the control room, Kaiba's smirk of Ryu-Ran's bad dueling left him.
"What's that mean, Big Brother?" Mokuba asked.
"It means at the cost of 400 defense points, all Fire monsters get 500 attack points, and Ryu-Ran's deck must be stacked with them if he's using it....however....you play with fire, you get burned...."
Back in the duel room, the area where the others were wasn't lava covered.
"What's this? It's all fake! I can walk right on through here and we can finish the other body guards while we're waiting! Come on guys!" Joey shouted while he stepped forward.
Joey was about to step into the lava, when Bakura grabbed his arm.
"No you fool, do you want to commit suicide!?!" Yami Bakura shouted, slipping up his impersonation.
Everyone caught his slip, but few actually recognized it giving the situation.
"...look," Bakura said, back in voice of Ryou, and calmer, "Who knows what Pegasus did to the maze. Here, I'll show you."
Bakura then tore a patch on his shirt off, and dropped it in the lava. No sooner did it touch then it went up in flames and smoke. Joey's face went pale, his eyes blank, and he fainted, falling backwards. Bobby sweatdropped.
"Hee-hee-hee....now I'll summon Darkfire Solder #2!"
Then what looked like a flaming samurai in flame robes appeared. It's stats were 1700/1100, but they altered to 2200/700 due to the field.
"Now I'll crush your Panther Warrior!"
The Darkfire Soldier rushed at the Panther Warrior on the left.
"Bad Kitty! You need a spanking!" Ryu-Ran shouted as the Solder incinerated the Panther Warrior, reducing Bobby's life points to 3800.
Bobby gritted his teeth in pain as he felt a powerful electric shock.
"AAAAUUUUGGGHHH!!!"
"BOBBY!" Kurt shouted.
"Heh, feel the burn yet? And that's just from a measly 200 life points. Think how much it'll hurt when I smack your goatie around!"
Bobby glared at the Ryu-Ran, angry.
"I'd love to see you try!"
"Okay, I'll activate my trap now. Defense Paralysis!"
Bobby gasped as the card forced Bobby's last scapegoat into attack mode.
"I just went, so your turn. Good luck when I fry you!" Ryu-Ran shouted, snickering.
Yami Yugi was worried for Bobby. Meanwhile, Joey was waking up.
'There has to be a way for Bobby to win.....I don't want to see him die....'
Bobby drew a card, and grimmaced.
'Dang it, with Defense Paralysis active, I'm in trouble...and I'm not getting anything that can help me yet....'
"I'll set a trap card, and end my turn...."
Ryu-Ran snickered as he drew a card.
"Okay, I summon Flame Swordsman in Attack Mode!"
Bobby then saw one of Joey's favorite monsters appear, a knight in purple and orange clothes with a flaming sword appear. It's statistics are 1800/1600, 2300/1100 due to the field.
Note: In the real game, it's a Fusion Monster. In the show, it's not.
"WHAT!?!?! YOU RIPPED OFF MY FAVE CARD!!!! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU-"Joey shouted.
Everyone next to Joey held him back for his own safety.
"Darkfire Soldier, get rid of that nasty Kitty!"
Bobby cried out in pain as the soldier destroyed his other Panther Warrior, reducing his life to 3600.
"Now Flame Swordsman, send that goat to the great big pastures in the sky!"
The Flame Swordsman leapt at the goat, which sweatdropped as the attack hit. Bobby screamed in pain from the attack, and fell over as his life-points hit 1300. Bobby was lying on the ground.
"BOBBY!!!" Yami Yugi shouted.
"Oh-oh, if he don't wake up, he get shocked and make crispy kid!" Ryu- Ran taunted, "1......2.......3........4......."
Will Bobby get up in time? Is someone watching the group? Find out next time.
"Well Yugi, you see there's people that are sort of different, like me. It's not really well known right now, but some people have this gene that's responsible for a lot of things, including powers, like this. Do you understand?" Kurt told Yugi as he teleported around a bit to show Yugi what he meant.

"Don't worry Kurt, the power is dark, but it's who is using it that makes it good or evil.
