Chapter 11 The Dark Side of the Light
The elevator ride to the top was faster than the other rides. So Justin had to make his translations quickly.
"Let's see.. here. Oh, wait it's upside down. Here we go... dammit, I cant read the hieroglyphics on the Milennium Sword cause of the stupid elevator! I guess I should have made it a smoother ride..."
I put away my sword. "No worries, Justin. You'll translate it soon enough."
Yugi was mumbling to himself. Probably talking to Yami again. Honda was opening a fresh new booster pack he must have packed in before we arrived at the fortress.
Ever so curious, I had to ask. "So Honda, whatcha get in THIS booster?"
"Warrior of Zera (1600/1600) is a fairly good card but my deck is full of Archfiends... oh never mind... heeheehee." Honda showed me the rare card in the pack: Archlord Zerato. It has to be summoned by sacrificing Warrior of Zera while Sanctuary in the Sky is on the field. Oh well, he didn't tell me what else MaZera does."
Yugi walked up to me and asked, "Azurada? May I please look through your Deck?"
"Uh... sure." So I let him look through my deck.
He was surprised at some of the monsters in my deck. He looked at me and asked, "One small question... How did you get these Harpie Lady cards?"
"... oh, that. You see... at the airport when I arrived I met someone named Mai Kujaku..."
"Mai Kujaku? The number-one female duelist in the world?"
"... yeah. Anyways she looked all lonely so I sat down to comfort her. She kept saying how she regretted joining something called the Doom organization and swore never to duel again. But Duel Monsters was all she had... including her Harpie Lady cards. Pegasus J. Crawford, the creator of Duel Monsters was willing to forgive Mai for her actions and gave her new Harpie Lady cards as consolation. She gave me her Harpie Cards and told me to take good care of them... and so I have."
Yugi looked puzzled. "But how come I have not seen the Harpie Lady cards in your duels against me and Kaiba?"
"I edited my deck afterwards to include the Harpie Ladies."
DING!
Top floor. Soda drinks, Women's underwear, and the ultimate evil hell-bent on destroying the world.
"...Waaaaaiiit a second... This guy ain't Ashiro!" I exclaimed.
Joey had an annoyed look "Naw, it's just that obsessed Zompire Fan."
"Zompire Fan?"
"Yea, Haven't heard much, but Zompire was s'posed to be a superhero on the dark side. Industrial Illusions made a card outta him called Zombyra the Dark. Aw great, he's also wearing the Zompire costume with that freaky DuelDisc."
"Then I guess he's working for Ashiro. This guy's mine. Oh and one more thing... hehe I always change my deck after I duel a few times so no-one knows exactly how to beat me."
The Zompire fan spoke in some "oh, so scary, yea right" voice. heh, voice changer.
"Those who wish to face Ashiro must face (with the crappiest fanfare) The Legendary ZOMPIRE!"
"Legendary, my ass. C'mon let's duel so I can kick your ass."
"Let's. but first I think you need to see something."
"Only me?"
"Ashiro has plans for you. You will experience them first-hand. Then you will JOIN him instead of going against him."
"...How so?" I had absolutely no idea what Mr. Zompire freak was talking about.
"I have been given a power known to drive men crazy." He walked over to me. "Nothing is more painful than experiencing the same Horrible experience repeatedly." All of a sudden, he pointed at me, and I could'nt move! "Your greatest fear is letting your actions take the best of you. They have only taken control for brief monents, sure, but my power extends the period as long as my master wishes!"
Justin got pissed. "You sick little bastard!" He began to rush for an attack. But the Zompire fan struck him with his palm and Justin flew to the wall.
"Ow... damn that smarts."
"I'll be glad if nobody INTERFERES!"
NOw my minds went blank, like a videotape. then I saw my first bad reaction. When my emotions went out of control i lashed out, severely damaging the guy whon pushed me over the edge.
"GOD NO! NOT AGAIN!" I couldn't bear it. Losing my temper like that is hardly ever forgivable to me.
"But wait, there is more!"
More moment's flashed. More lashing out, more damage, more emotional pain and suffering. Then it went to one moment when I was out in a park where I used to live. It was a date with Aresia, the love of my life. Before I knew bullets came flying from someone who also had a crush on Aresia. He missed me, but hit her.
"MAKE IT STOP! DAMNIT PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!" I pleaded
Joey was shocked. I could only see the visions ass they went, but I also heard outside voices.
I heard Joey say. "This is too cruel. That geek has more power than us, so he can knock us aside easily, so we can't interfere with his action. Just look at Justin. That could be us if we try to do something like that.
Back to the moment flashing in my mind. Aresia was the closest peron to me, and I couldn;t take it anymore...
"Ahhh, there it is! The worst moment left happens to be when your emotional rage is released!" Zompire said in glee.
He was right. When that bastard killed Aresia, I gave in to my rage. Thrashing at him right and left, with no one to stop me. And I beat him so badly I had accidentally killed him. I was in rage for 2 minutes beating the guy into a pulp. When i regained control, once again I had realized what I had done... And i could never forgive myself.
"NO STOP! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed so loudly it shook the floor.
Then everything went black.
