Chapter 04: Duel Monsters
In a deep, dark land, a great black castle rose above the twisted rocks. Down below, those loyal to the dark ones worked in training, a great army preparing for some kind of invasion. Inside the palace, 6 of the Millenium items were dumped uncerimoniously on a table, Shadow plopping onto a black couch. "Months of planning, backstabbing, and Anubus decides to do everything himself."
Bright amythest eyes peeked up from where a small human was streched along the back of the couch. "At least we have all but one item. Saves us the trouble of stealing them."
"Yea, that's the only good thing. Perhaps Anubus got tired of that fat moron like I did. He could never control a damn thing."
A pleased purr emerged at the thought. "Well Anubus made the mistake of forgetting about that goodie goodie when he summoned the Pharoah like he did. It was that mistake that caused him to escape."
Shadow reached up and pulled Yugi into his lap, gazing at him. "Don't worry, we will rule the world. I shall give you everything that you ever wanted."
A delighted squeel emerged at being pulled down, automatically snuggling into the lap with half closed eyes.
"Have I ever told you how much you're my favorite creation?"
"Mmmm... Every five minutes I think love..."
Shadow captured his lips in a deep kiss. "Several of our agents reported they are trying to keep Yami busy and away from Sonic. So far so good."
Yugi submitted himself easily into the kiss, one hand lightly teasing his creator in a certain area. "We should capture him... Break him... Do the same to the other Yugi..."
Shadow moaned and squirmed under his hand. "Way ahead of you...gonna send in my top spy to 'befriend' Yugi...and then steal his puzzle."
Talented kisses trailed along the underside of the hedgehog's jaw. "Hmmm... I would rather you break him personally love... Make him submit to only us..."
"I'd still have to have someone get him away from that fuckin' Yami and the city first..." A hand fell below the waistline of his jeans.
Suckling at the small chin slightly, Yugi purred his approval softly. "Have our spy work for us..."
Shadow easily gripped Yugi's member in his hand. "Oh...absolutely, pet..." He kissed him deeply again.
A pleasured moan escaped now, moving his hips slightly to increasure the pressure.
Shadow pressed his hand in, gripping much tighter as he started to jack him off and kiss along his neck softly.
Amythest eyes were closed now, breathing heavily as he gave himself up to his creator's love as he had first been created for.
A tounge came up and slithered over the edge of his ear, taking a delicate lobe into his mouth to suckle on as he jerked his hand a bit against his member.
Moaning loudly now, Yugi was enjoying himself complety now, crying out his release after a few minutes.
Shadow kissed his lips after a few moments. "Good pet."
Panting softly he accepted the kiss gladly, snuggling down onto Shadow's chest to recover.

Meanwhile, in the place dubbed the City of Light, people were gathering in the den in the palace. Seto was showing off the latest additions to his prototype card deck, and Joey, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Chris (a human) were all looking through the different cards. "This looks like its gonna be a fun game idea, Seto!" Joey grinned. "I like this card, the Red Eyes Black Dragon."
The brunette snorted before holding up the Blue Eyes White Dragon. "Keep it then mutt for this one is better than that card anyways."
Tails looked up from looking at the Beaver Warrior card he was looking at. "You probably got a fortune waiting in these cards!"
"What do you expect, after all, between the two of us Tails I have made more usefull inventions."
Tails frowned. "Hey...!"
The teen smirked. "But you do make better vehicles remember."
Tails smiled. "Thanks. That means a lot coming from ya."
Chris showed Sonic a card. "Whatcha think of this one, Sonic? The Dark Magician."
Emerald eyes scanned at the card in through for a few minutes. "I like it."
"Me too..."
After a moment, a sleepy-looking Yami came saundering through and plopped on the couch. "He's finally sleeping."
Seto, Sonic, and Knuckles all looked over at him at that. "You mean it took this long for the sleeping medication to kick in?"
"Yea. His system can be pretty resistant at times." He rubbed at his temples. "So what're you guys discussing?"
A slight smirk showed on the half wolf's face. "Duel Monsters."
"Oh, you have it here too?"
He blinked at that. "What do you mean? They only just came out"
"Just? Huh, that's weird. They been out for years where I come from."
"Oh really? Then you can show everyone here how the game is played."
"Absolutely...only thing is I don't have Yugi's deck with me..."
Sonic's nose twitched slightly. "Then how about you remake the deck?"
"Sure, you got cards I can get access to?"
Seto himself nodded and motioned to the table full of cards.
He headed to the table. "Excellent...this is like the biggest thing in the world where I come from."
The brunette smirked slightly. "Well then it should be a hit here as well."
He constructed his deck to the exact way Yugi's deck was built. "All set."
Nodding slowly he created the deck he figured would be the most powerfull combonation of cards. "Alright then, teach us."
He nodded and had a demonstration battle against Seto.
"We'll start with 8000 life points each," Yami said as he shuffled his deck. He put it down on the table and both he and Seto drew five cards. "Seto, would you like to start off this duel?"
Seto smirked. "Gladly." He drew a card from his deck and layed one face up. "I summon Baby Dragon, and end my turn."
Yami smiled as he drew a card from his deck. "I'll set a magic card, and one card face-down. I'll end my turn there."
Interesting move, Seto thought. He must not of drawn anything strong enough to attack Baby Dragon. He chuckled to himself as he drew a card. "I'll activate my spell card, Harpie's Feather Duster. This allows me to destroy all trap and spell cards on the field."
Yami frowned as his trap card was sent to the graveyard. So much for that. He had been hoping to save it until Kaiba played a really strong monster.
"Next, I summon Giant Germ to the field and have Baby Dragon attack your facedown card."
Yami smirked as he flipped his face-down monster. "Your Baby Dragon has attacked my Giant Soldier of Stone. With my Soldier with 2000 defense points, your dragon only has 1200 attack points, so that lowers your life points by 800."
Yami, 8000, Kaiba, 7200.
Perhaps he DOES know the game, Kaiba thought as he ended his turn. Well, I'll suprise him yet. There's no way he can defeat what I have coming.
Yami drew a card. "From here, I'll summon Neo the Magic Swordsman to the field and attack your Baby Dragon. With Neo's attack points at 1700, that sends Baby Dragon to the Graveyard and drop your life points by 500 points."
Yami, 8000, Kaiba, 6700.
"I end my turn."
"Not bad, you definitely know what you're doing," Kaiba smirked as he drew a card. He smirked, before shifting his Giant Germ card sideways. "I'll switch this to defense position and end my turn."
Yami frowned as he drew a card. Giant Germ only had 100 defense points. But he wasn't going to take that bait so easily, as Giant Germ had a nasty side effect of inflicting 500 life points when attacked, not to mention allowing Kaiba to summon any more Germs to the field as a result of sending Giant Germ to the Graveyard from result of battle. No, he decided for now to ignore the presence of this nasty card. "I'll summon Red Skull Bird to the field...and end my turn."
Kaiba's grin widened as he drew a card. Yami had played right into his plan. "I'll activate my spell card, Snatch Steal. This allows me to take control of one of your monsters, and I choose your Giant Soldier of Stone."
Yami frowned as Kaiba took his Soldier to his side of the playing field. This wasn't good, as it took away Yami's strong defenses of protecting his life points.
"Now, I'll take that Stone soldier and my Giant Germ, and tribute them to summon my Blue Eyes White Dragon."
Oh crap.
Kaiba sent both the Soldier and the Germ to the graveyard and layed his Blue Eyes on the field. "I'll attack your Red Skull Bird. With its attacks points at 1550 and my Blue Eyes as 3000, you lose 1450 points."
Yami, 6550, Kaiba, 6700.
Red Skull Bird was sent to the graveyard, and Kaiba ended his turn. Yami was in trouble now, with no monster that can face Kaiba's Blue Eyes...
But he had faith in the heart of the cards and knew that his next draw would help him.
It did.
He laughed.
"Kaiba, that was a very good move you made, but I have one that's just a little bit better."
What?
Yami made his next move. "I activate my spell card, Dark Hole. This destroys all the monsters on the field."
Kaiba growled as his Blue Eyes and Yami's Magic Swordsman were sent to the graveyard. "You'll pay for that!"
"I heard that line before." Yami smirked and layed a card face down on the field. "I'll set this and end my turn."
Kaiba growled as he drew a card. That WAS a good move. But Yami won't be so lucky next time. He layed a card face down on the field and ended his turn.
Yami drew his next card and thought for a moment. "I'll take my face down monster and tribute it to summon a monster face down in defense. I'll end my turn."
Kaiba frowned as he drew a card. If it took a tribute to summon that monster, then it must have a really strong defense attached to it. He grinned when he found the card he wanted. "I'll use my spell card, 'Shallow Grave'. This allows us both to choose a monster from our graveyards and summon them to the field face down in defense position."
Kaiba checked through his graveyard and set a card face down on his side of the field. Yami did the same. He had a very strong feeling he knew what Kaiba picked out. And it wasn't good. "Now, I flip summon Mystic Horseman." Kaiba flipped the card he had set down from his last turn. "And attack the card you just set down on the field."
Yami smirked as he flipped up the card he had chosen from the Graveyard. Giant Soldier of Stone. "Your horseman doesn't stand a chance against my Soldier. With my soldier at 2000 defense points, and your horseman at 1300, you lose 700 points."
Yami, 6550, Kaiba, 6000.
Kaiba waved it off. "Yes yes, I should of known. I end my turn."
Yami smirked as he drew a card. "I'll take my face down card and tribute it to call Summoned Skull to the field."
Kaiba looked on with mild suprise as Yami removed the face down card to play Summoned Skull. So he did have a strong card...but not strong enough.
"Now to see if my theory is correct. I'll have Summoned Skull attack your face down card."
Kaiba smirked as he flipped his card over. Blue Eyes White Dragon. "With my Dragon's defense at 2500, and your Summon Skull at 2500 attack points, there's no change."
"Very well then, I'll end my turn."
Yami sat back and watched as Kaiba drew a card. He could of very well attacked his horseman and easily taken a chunk out of his life points. But something had told him to at least reveal that Blue Eyes WAS indeed on the field.
Kaiba laughed. "I activate my spell card, Megamoph! This allows me to double the attack points of one of my monsters, and I choose my Blue Eyes White Dragon."
Yami stared. "But that puts it at 6000 attack points!"
"Exactly, and now, I'll destroy your Giant Soldier of Stone and any chance you have of defending your life points! I'll switch my Horseman to Defense position, and my dragon to attack position, and attack your soldier now!"
Yami groaned as his Solkder was sent to the graveyard. Not good.
"I end my turn."
Yami sighed as he drew a card. He had to do something fast or he'd lose this duel to Kaiba. "I summon Ancient Elf to the field. Next I'll have Summoned Skull attack your Horseman. With Summoned Skull's attack at 2500, and your horseman's defense at 1550, that sends it to the graveyard. I end my turn."
Kaiba grinned. "You're getting sloppy, putting that elf out leaves you wide open to a big attack. Now, my Blue Eyes will attack. With Blue eys at 6000 and your elf at 1450-"
"I lose 4500 points..."
Yami, 2000, Kaiba, 6000.
"You've nothing left, and I end my turn."
Yami frowned as he drew a card. Things WERE looking rather lopsided. And with that dragon...
He layed down a magic card hoping maybe by some miracle he could get rid of that dragon.
Wait...
Yami looked over the field, over at the equip card that strengthed Kaiba's dragon, over to Kaiba's dragon, and finally to his Summoned Skull. He laughed. Loudly.
"What's so funny? Finally realized that you're going to lose?"
Yami shook his head and laughed. "Just the whole situation. You had me worried for a moment, I'll admit that. But for now I'll play Celtic Guardian."
Kaiba smirked. What good will that do Yami now? Celtic Guardian's attack was only 1400. One blow would wipe Yami out.
Yami grinned. "Next...I'll attack Your Blue Eyes with my Summoned Skull."
Kaiba was highly confused. "But that would only destroy your own monster and wipe you out!"
Yami laughed. "You forget something VERY important, Kaiba. I ALMOST overlooked it, until I reread the effects of your Megamorph card. Its true that the attack points of your dragon double to 6000, but ONLY if your life points are lower than mine. And they were, AT THE TIME. I was at 6550, and you were at 6000. HOWEVER, when you attacked my Elf, that took down my life points to 2000, and therefore my your life points higher than mine. That's when the nasty side effect of your Megamorth kicks in. If MY points are lower than yours, you dragon's attack points are halved. In other words, Kaiba, your Dragon is now sitting on only 1500 attack points. And with my Summoned Skull at 2500, this wipes out your dragon from the field and you lose 1000 life points."
Yami, 2000, Kaiba 5000.
Kaiba stared. How could he of MISSED that simple fact!
"That also leaves you wide open to my Celtic Guardian's attack, and I attack your life points DIRECTLY. You lose 1400 points."
Yami, 2000, Kaiba, 3600.
"I end my turn."
Kaiba growled as he drew a card. He was still in the lead. This was no big deal. He could do this. "I'll activate my spell card, 'Heavy Storm' This wipes out the traps and spell cards on the field."
Yami smirked as he set the card to the graveyard. No big loss, he didn't need it anymore.
"Next, I'll set a card face down and end my turn."
Yami grinned softly as he drew a card. Despite the life point difference, Kaiba was starting to limp and fall behind in the game. "I'll summon another Red Skull Bird to the field, and have my Summoned Skull attack your facedown card."
Kaiba flipped it, revealing Baby Dragon. With its defenses at only 700, it was sent to the graveyard, leaving Kaiba open for attack again. "Next, I'll have Celtic Guardian attack your life points, lowering it by 1400."
Yami, 2000, Kaiba, 2200.
"-and then Red Skull Bird attacks and lowers your points by 1550."
Yami, 2000, Kaiba, 650.
"I end my turn."
Kaiba growled as he drew a card. This was not good. He refuses to lose at his own game! "I'll set one card face down and end my turn..."
Yami nodded and drew a card. He was pretty sure this duel was his, but Kaiba could be up to one last trick. Just in case- "I'll put one card face down. Next, I'll attack your face down card with my Summoned Skull."
Kaiba smirked and revealed his face doiwn card. "You just attacked my Mystic Tomato. With its defense at 1100, it is sent to the graveyard. But the effect of this card allows me to summon a Dark type monster with an attack of 1500 or less to the field in attack mode."
Kaiba scanned through his deck and set out-
-another Mystic Tomato.
Kaiba shuffled his deck, and smirked at Yami.
Yami kept calm. This wasn't a big deal. Yes, Kaiba might be able to summon more Dark Types, but with their attack less than 1500, he could take them down easy. "Well then, I'll have my Red Skull Bird attack THIS Tomato then. With your Tomato's attack at 1400, and my bird at 1550, you lose 150 life points."
Yami, 2000, Kaiba, 500.
"And that allows me to summon another Monster to the field."
Kaiba searched his deck and pulled out yet ANOTHER Mystic Tomato, then shuffled his deck.
Yami frowned. The only monster he had left that could attack was Celtic Guardian, but with its attack points at 1400, it would be a tie. He decided to wait. Paience was good. "I end my turn."
Kaiba nodded and drew a card. He realized by now that this duel was going to be a lost cause, but he wasn't going to go out that easy.
"I'll switch my Tomato to defense position. Next, I'll lay down this magic card, and end my turn."
Yami drew from his deck. This was it, he could feel it. "I'll summon my Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress to the field. Next, I'll have Celtic Guardian attack your Mystic Tomato and send it to the graveyard, since its defense is at 1100 and my Guardian's attack is 1400."
"And I'll summon another monster to the field." Kaiba searched his deck. "I'll summon Disk Magician." He shuffled his deck.
"Fine, I attack your Disk Magician with my Winged Dragon. With its attack at 1400 and your Magician's Attack at 1350, you lose 50 points."
Yami, 2000, Kaiba 450.
"Oh stop messing with me and end it already!"
Yami chuckled at the outburst and nodded. "Fine. I attack with Red Skull Bird. That drops your life points to 0. I win."
Not at all liking how easily he was beaten, the brunette decided to work more on his deck and skills before wanting to challange Yami again.
Yami smiled. "Don't feel too bad, the Seto back where I come from is ALWAYS looking for revenge."
"Well then we have something in common. Consider this, there will be future challanges."
Yami smirked. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
Snorting he picked up his cards and left, letting the others have their pick of what was left.
Yami looked at the copyright of the cards and frowned. "Wait a sec."
Sonic glanced up now. "Whats wrong Yami?"
He looked at Seto. "The copyright has your name on it..."
"I founded the creation of the game Yami, not the idea itself."
"Huh...weird...Kaiba only invented the holographic machinery where I came from. There, it was Industrual Illusions that created the game."
One eyebrow raised slightly now. "Holographic techonogly belongs in the hands of Ivo Robotnik, we have only seen it and has yet to study how to make it ourselves."
Yami blinked. "...who...?"
Sonic rubbed his nose. "Eggman is what we like to call him, damn Mobian hater..."
"What is he, some kind of tyant bent on ruling the world?"
Nearly everyone there laughed at that. "You got it right buddy."
He blinked. "Somehow, I'm not suprised. Somone, somehow, some way, wants to rule the world."
"Its called greed. There will always been someone with enough greed to want to own the world."
"Yea, always. Well...tell me more about this Shadow character. The only time I seen him is when he was trying to kidnap Yugi."
Sonic frowned slightly at that. "He is a black hedgehog alot like me in abilities, only full of evil. It was him who captured our Yami in the past to try and clone him, creating Yugi."
He shivered. "Strange..."
"Lately tho we've heard rumers that Eggman, Shadow, and someone by the name of Anubus have teamed up."
He growled. "Anubus is a demon from the underworld. Someone must of summoned him. He's the one that mutiliated Yugi to his current state."
Ears flattened now at hearing that. "So thats what happened to him."
"Anubus was after the 7 Millenium Items. They're objects of great power where I come from, when combined and used by a single person, can summon up any soul from the underworld. But the magic is black and can twist and blind the raised soul."
A look of pity flickered through Knuckles's eyes at that, he was well aware of how rituals are sometimes performed. Sonic looked sick at the thought.
He looked down. "If it wasn't for Yugi being so strong...I would of been still blinded and twisted by the darkness..."
Knuckles's violet eyes looked over at him now. "I think that may of been the last of his strength considering how he has been since you both arrived."
"He just needs a few days of tender loving care so he can heal...that is...if you allow us to stay within your city...until we find a way home, we have nowhere else to turn to."
Slowly the two of them nodded. "Of course. We all understand that you both are not of our world and no threat to us."
He looked relieved. "Thank you. I'm sure Yugi would thank you too, once he's feeling better."
"I do hope he recovers as you say he will. I have sometimes seen others in his state that don't recover."
"I know he will...I believe in him..." He yawned. "I think I'm gonna turn in..."
A gentle smile appeared on the hedgehog's face. "Then go get some sleep. I'll have Amy bring something for the both of you to eat later."
He nodded. "Thank you Sonic. Good night."
As he left the room, Joey tackled Seto from behind, tugging at his eartip gently with his teeth. "MINE!"
"HEEL!" came the barked command, ice blue eyes glaring for a moment at the blond. "You've been a naughty pup."
"Whaaaaat? Couldn't I cuddle?"
A slight smirk appeared. "Not untill you put your collar on."
He muttered. "Why do ya do this to me..."
"Because you are a very disobedient puppy that needs to be trained."
He stuck out his bottom lip and gave him the puppy eyes and whimpered.
Seto narrowed his eyes in warning. "Collar or no love."
He yelped and grabbed the collar, putting it on immediately. "Okay okay! No need to get hostile!"
Chuckling softly he pulled the mutt into his arms. "Thats better."
He licked at his face with a grin. "Let's go."
Smirking he picked the blond up and headed for their room
Chris sweatdropped and looked at Sonic. "I will never understand Terrains."
The hedgehog shrugged slightly. "Meh, so he has a fetish."
"What about you? Gonna turn in? You been looking tired lately."
He sighed a bit at the question. "I doubt I'd get any sleep... You know sleeping pills have no effect on me at all."
"Yea I know, you never slept too good till you met him..."
Sonic lowered his head, ears folded back sadly. "I need him back..."
"He'll come back."
A thoughtfull look crossed his face. "I'm starting to think that something is preventing him from coming home."
"Perhaps."
"I'll try to get some sleep, see you in the morning Chris."
"Night Sonic."
Smiling softly the young hedgehog headed off to his room, blue quills drooping.
