Dark Magician slowly opened his eyes. He saw he was in a chamber with torches that dimly lit the room. He rolled his head as best he could to one side, trying to get a pain out of his head.
Dark Magician tried to move his arms, but found himself chained to the wall. Dark Magician tried to pull his arms free of the chains, but he only made them tighter. The spellcaster hissed in pain as the metal sunk into his skin. He felt blood drip from his wrists, leaking onto his arms making his purple robes wet with crimson liquid.
Dark Magician didn't feel his staff in hand and saw it was gone. Straining against the chains that bound him Dark Magician tried yet again to pull free. He screamed as the chains ripped through his flesh, spilling fresh blood on the stone floor.
Dark Magician then heard the flap of huge wings and a stomping in the ground. Huge doors that closed the room opened to reveal the mighty beast, Blue Eyes White Dragon. Dark Magician gasped in hatred. He arched his back and tried to get his arms free, trying to get at his enemy.
Dark Magician screamed again as a new wave of blood covered the floor. "That won't do," came Blue Eyes' low voice. "I need you alive, you can't go bleeding to death... yet."
Dark Magician glared at the dragon with the blinding need to kill. The spellcaster's eyes turned a blood red color. "You will be the one who will die!" snarled Dark Magician. Blue Eyes grunted a laugh. "So your Dark Magician," he took a step forward.
The dragon's eyes never left the blood dripping down Dark Magician's wrists. "I've heard so much about you... And I've seen you long ago. Don't you remember that night Dark Magician?" Blue Eyes asked nastily "When I killed Dark Magician Girl... Oh, her screams of agony sent chills up my spine."
Blue Eyes drew his face close to Dark Magician's face. "I can't wait to hear your screams. " Blue Eyes then lifted his head "As I slowly..." Blue Eyes and licked one of Dark Magician wrists "Kill you." Dark Magician instinctively tried to pull away, but it only came to a scream and more blood.
Blue Eyes closed his eyes and listened to the cries of agony. He then swiped his tongue over Dark Magician's wrist for one last time, tasting the new blood. Then he lowered his head to level with Dark Magician's pained face.
Dark Magician gritted his teeth and did the only thing he could do. Dark Magician spat in Blue Eyes' face. "You scum!" roared Blue Eyes "You should never have done that and now I'll make you pay! It's time for torture."
Lifting his front claw Blue Eyes sliced through the chains that bound Dark Magician's wrists. Dark Magician fell in a huge pool of his own blood. Grunting Dark Magician slowly pushed himself up.
Blue Eyes brought his claw down and pined Dark Magician down to the ground. Blood was sent spraying through the air from the impact.
Dark Magician yelled from the pressure that was being pushed on top of his body. Even with his armor on he was still at the great dragon's mercy. If only I had my staff. Thought Dark Magician helplessly.
"As I recall you said you where going to win this fight, but it looks like you need help after all," said a familiar voice. Amazon Archer was standing in the doorway with his bow, arrows, and Dark Magician's staff.
Furious Blue Eyes leapt at the other Duel Monster. Dark Magician got up as fast as his damaged body could allow. Amazon Archer saw Dark Magician across the room and threw his staff. Dark Magician jumped in the air and caught it with a bloody hand.
Blue Eyes stopped in his tracks and looked from side to side, as if wondering who to attack first.
"Now!"
At that moment of confusion for the dragon, Dark Magician fired a powerful dark energy from his staff. Amazon Archer shot an arrow right at Blue Eyes' throat. Blue Eyes look bewildered for a second, then his expression changed.
The dragon swung around in a lightening fast motion and faced Dark Magician. With his tail the dragon hit Amazon Archer's arrow, it splintered into thousands of pieces.
Blue Eyes then used his attack, White Lightning. The blast was so powerful it went through Dark Magician's attack. Reluctantly the spellcaster dodged before the attack hit him. Slamming into the wall and White Lightning rocked the room. The walls and ceiling started to crumble.
Dark Magician ran over to where Amazon Archer was standing in the doorway. Amazon Archer took Dark Magician by his robes and pulled him out of the doorway and into a huge room. The room caved in with Blue Eyes still in there.
The two Duel Monsters ran from the camber.
Dark Magician suddenly realized what he was doing and skidded to a halt. "Come on!" yelled Amazon Archer. "No," said Dark Magician "He's not dead."
As soon as Dark Magician said those words, they heard the furious bellow of Blue Eyes. They heard the flapping of wings as the dragon took flight.
Amazon Archer sharply pulled on Dark Magician's robes and Dark Magician helplessly followed, his body ho bruised to pull away. They ran until they turned into a small room.
"Dark Magician lets wait here," said Amazon Archer. Seeing the angry look on Dark Magician's face he added "Then we can attack him when he's least expecting it!" Dark Magician's tense body seemed to relax a little at the sound of the plan.
Amazon Archer closed the door and sat down on the floor across from Dark Magician.
Dark Magician healed his injuries as best he could with his magic. "So," said Dark Magician with a glint in his eye "How did you get out of your captivity?"
Amazon Archer smiled. "My guards were really dumb. I was chained to the wall. They were taunting me with words. They kept showing me my bow, arrows, and your staff. I kept having good comebacks for there taunting... So they got angry with me. They took me down to fight them and I knocked them out."
Outside the room Blue Eyes White Dragon was still searching for them. The flap of his wings got fainter as he went to search in another part of the building. Dark Magician looked at the door with hungry eyes, wanting to get out there and rip the white dragon's head off.
Amazon Archer saw this and tried to distract Dark Magician from this thoughts. "Dark Magician..." asked Amazon Archer timidly. "Ummm..." "Say it!" grumbled Dark Magician, turning his attention from the door.
"I wanted to ask... You never told me... I kind of know the story but, not really... Why do you want to kill Blue Eyes?"
Dark Magician's eyes widened and he looked down, knowing how surprised he looked. Amazon Archer smiled a little when the saw an almost embarrassed look on the usually emotionless spellcaster's face.
"It's because of Dark Magician Girl," he said finally. "I loved her and cared for her. But all that care and love was taken away... One night she and I were walking outside, enjoying the night... When suddenly everything was lost. In a burst of white light Dark Magician Girl was killed. Now I realize love is only something that can hold you back from your true power. It was only after she was killed I was able to master my true dark powers."
Dark Magician looked up from the ground and looked at Amazon Archer who was nodding his head in understanding. "I know how you feel Dark Magician... My parents were killed by that monster too. I know exactly how you feel."
Dark Magician snarled, shot up and took Amazon Archer by the front on his shirt. "How can you know what I feel? The pain in my life. The hate! There's more to my life then just that! There's more to my life than just that pain! My whole life was agony for me since I was born!"
Pain flickered across Dark Magician's eyes as he went back into him memories. "My mother died and my father was driven mad from the loss of her. He beat me every day because I reminded him of my mother!" Dark Magician snarled angrily, his eyes burning with hatred. "He beat me so bad my blood stained the floor, then after I would have to clean it up! Because of that I often got sick, but he never took care of me. HE NEVER CARED!" Dark Magician closed his eyes for a few seconds. When he opened them they were a horrifying blood-red color.
"That's not the half of it... People hated me for my gift of spells so they turned against me and tried to ruin all my work," Dark Magician hesitated, going over the memory in his mind. The peplus of the spellcaster's eyes got small from anger.
"That was the first time I killed a person. I had just constructed my staff when I was thirteen, and people were jealous of me. So they decided to tamper with it while I wasn't there. I went to use it in my backyard the people were hiding in the bushes to see me hurt myself. I amid my staff at one of the bushes. I heard a shout not to fire my staff. My staff was already full of dark magic and the voice started me. I quickly turned and without thinking I let all the energy pore out of my staff. I hit the person's chest and set a purple flame to his body. He fell and I watched him disintegrate before my eyes," Dark Magician paused again, his lips curved into a malicious twisted smile.
"The person who I killed was my father, he was also someone who tried to make me injure myself," Dark Magician looked down at Amazon Archer with a wild look in his eyes. "I enjoyed watching him die," he whimpered putting his mouth down to Amazon Archer's ear.
"His blood covered the ground. If you could imagine young archer..." he paused to chuckle in dark mirth, his hot breath washing over Amazon Archer's face. "I was laughing." Dark Magician heard Amazon Archer's breath hitch as he gasped softly.
"Then Dark Magician Girl got killed by Blue Eyes years later... Then I killed my own best friend!" Dark Magician hissed his last statement. The spellcaster was satisfied from the shiver of total fear Amazon Archer let course down his body.
"So that's my life," said Dark Magician as he pulled away from Amazon Archer's face. "You happy now?" he asked, his red eyes narrowing with a wicked look in them.
Amazon Archer opened his mouth to reply but he was cut off by a hit in the face. Dark Magician hit the archer again and again, each time hitting him harder. Blood flowed out of Amazon Archer's mouth and his was rattling.
Dark Magician punched him one last time, that time Amazon Archer's shirt got ripped and he went flying into the wall behind him.
Dark Magician looked at Amazon Archer's shaking body on the ground and let out a soft laugh. He walked over to where the archer lay and brutally kicked him on the side. Amazon Archer yelped as he skidded across the stone floor. As he did so his chest scraped painfully across the rock.
Amazon Archer grunted as he shakily held himself up with one hand. With the other he wiped blood out of the corner of his mouth. "Is that all you got?" he taunted as if daring to kill him.
Dark Magician growled in rage and bent down to pick up Amazon Archer, this time by his hair. Amazon Archer cried out and shook his head, trying to pull away. Dark Magician only pulled on the archer's hair sharply causing another cry from Amazon Archer.
Dark Magician threw him into the wall. Before Amazon Archer could slid down onto the floor, Dark Magician was there. He held Amazon Archer to the wall by his throat. With each second that went by Dark Magician squeezed tighter, causing Amazon Archer to gasp and strain for air.
Dark Magician's crazy, wild eyes were wide with twisted mirth as he watched Amazon Archer try to get breath into his lungs. He smiled darkly when blood gushed out of Amazon Archer's mouth.
Dark Magician then grew tired of that and swung his arm around taking Amazon Archer with it. He let go of the archer's throat and he was sent across the room and into the wall. Amazon Archer moaned as his back scraped harshly over the stone as he slid down the wall. A faint blood trail was left going down it.
Dark Magician decided he would use his staff for this next toucher. He staked over to Amazon Archer, who was barely conscience on the floor.
Dark Magician lifted Amazon Archer by his hair again and raised his staff, pointing the sharp end to Amazon Archer's body. Amazon Archer looked at the staff with pain glazed eyes. Amazon Archer smiled, a weak smile, knowing he was going to be killed.
A blast suddenly shook the room. Blue Eyes was now blasting parts of the building, trying to kill them.
Dark Magician dropped Amazon Archer. "I'll leave you to die, I have some business to take care of," Dark Magician said cruelly. Amazon Archer slowly shook his head. Dark Magician walked toward the door and took the doorhandle in his hand.
Amazon Archer summoned his last scrap of energy to jump up and race across the room. Exhausted all Amazon Archer could do was hug Dark Magician as his legs began to collapse under him.
"No you can't go!" he yelled, in a pained voice.
"I have to face him!" screamed Dark Magician. "Let me go!"
"No! I can't let you!" Amazon Archer cried desperately as he clung to Dark Magician's robes as best he could. "You'll get killed!" he shouted with his cracked voice. "I don't care!" yelled Dark Magician trying to pull away.
"No you can't die! I care to much about you Dark Magician- I love you!"
Dark Magician, furious at those words, turned sharply around and hit Amazon Archer hard the side of the head with his staff.
Amazon Archer flew backward and hit the floor. Dark Magician glared at Amazon Archer's unmoving body. He turned to leave.
Then at that moment he saw an image in his mind. It was Dark Magician Girl.
Why is she in my head now? Thought Dark Magician, confused.
"Dark Magician don't you listen?" Dark Magician blinked. Dark Magician Girl was taking!
The sound of her voice soothed the spellcaster somewhat. What do you mean? Thought Dark Magician.
"Didn't you hear Amazon Archer's words?" Celtic Guardian appeared beside Dark Magician Girl. "He cares for you."
Celtic Guardian's strong voice echoed in Dark Magician's mind making Dark Magician go mad with the comfort that his friend was there.
Cares for me? Said Dark Magician narrowing his eyes.
"Yes Dark Magician! You were so busy thinking of the kill you didn't even hear the words of your friend!" Dark Magician Girl stated with a frown. Celtic Guardian nodded. "Why don't you look and tell us he isn't your friend."
Dark Magician turned and saw Amazon Archer struggling to get up. A wound was on the side of his head, bleeding furiously.
Dark Magician looked with wide eyes at the archer and clenched his hands. Wait... Thought Dark Magician. My hands are wet. Dark Magician looked down at his hands. They where drenched in Amazon's Archer blood.
Dark Magician's breath came in and out, fast and uneven. The spellcaster stared at the blood, his eyes softening and turning to there natural ice blue color.
"You see," said Dark Magician Girl with a soft smile.
The corner of Celtic Guardian's lip went up into a small smile.
My friends... The blood of so many Duel Monsters had drenched my hands. And now Amazon Archer... Am I feeling a love for him? A friendship? Dark Magician thought. Something I haven't felt in a long time...
"You care... about- me?" Dark Magician said out loud. His mouth was open is disbelief.
He turned to Amazon Archer and ran to his side. "Amazon Archer?" asked Dark Magician. He offered his hand to the archer. Amazon Archer looked into Dark Magician's eyes. He smiled and took the spellcaster's hand. Dark Magician helped the young archer up.
The blasts of Blue Eyes White Dragon could be heard more closely now. The ground shook. "He's getting closer," said Amazon Archer. "We have to fight him," Dark Magician snarled.
He held his staff up to Amazon Archer's wounds. The staff glowed a purple color and healed the wounds as best he could.
"We?" asked Amazon Archer. "Don't you mean you?" Dark Magician gave Amazon Archer a questioning look. "What do you mean?"
"Dark Magician, you taught me something I will never forget. That you have to be brave and have courage, even in the darkest times. I want to show you that courage and fight Blue Eyes." Amazon Archer said with a determined look.
"No," Dark Magician's muscles tensed. "Dark Magician I know you don't want me to, but I'm going to. You saw Blue Eyes' power. There's no way we can both get out of here alive." Amazon Archer's eyes filled with tears. "Let me do this, to repay my debt to you, in teaching me so much."
Dark Magician looked down at Amazon Archer's pleading eyes. "Let me do it for my parents, if not for you," Amazon Archer's tears fell down his face.
Dark Magician's ice blue eyes shimmered. "I..."
Amazon Archer smiled and ran out the door. "Wish me luck!"
"No!"
"Run!"
"Hey Blue Eyes! Over here!" screamed Amazon Archer. Dark Magician watched in horror as Blue Eyes swooped down from the building's ceiling and faced Amazon Archer.
The young archer looked over his shoulder. "Go," he whispered. "Run." The last thing Dark Magician saw was Amazon Archer running toward Blue Eyes, screaming a battle cry.
Dark Magician turned, blasted a hole in the wall, and ran outside. As he ran Dark Magician started to cry. Images of Amazon Archer flashed in his mind.
The first time they met.
When Amazon Archer saved him.
When Amazon Archer was cowering on the ground, afraid of Red Eyes.
When he scared Amazon Archer in the forest.
Seconds later a huge explosion and a white light came from the building. Dark Magician didn't turn to look, he just kept running.
Amazon Archer why? Why did you leave me? Tears streamed down Dark Magician's face. You were my friend! Why did I leave you to be killed? WHY?
Now I see I can never care for anyone. Ever again. It just brings pain. Just more hate. I am cursed.
Never to have a friend.
Never to care.
Never to love.
I will always be the evil Duel Monster I always was...
Unhappy with a friend and happy with an enemy.
