Yu-Gi-Oh! Avatar

Fanfic Chapter 64: Avatar's Secret Pt 2: Light Spark
Episode Basis: None

Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh! The mysterious Avatar appeared and challenged Yugi to a duel, saying that the longer Yugi remains in the tournament, the more he's risking his life. Avatar revealed that he has an armlet that can somehow affect other magical artifacts including the Millennium Puzzle. Unable to join, Yami was still able to coach Yugi through the duel. Yugi quickly realized that Avatar's deck was based around light attribute monsters, which (according to him) puts the Duelist at a disadvantage. But the true shock and horror came as Yugi used the trap card Dust Tornado to destroy a magic card. Avatar's hood flew off and his face revealed. It was Harold! You have questions? I know I do.


Everyone was shocked at seeing Harold. His hair was cut short but it was definitely him.

"Harold, what's the meaning of this?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah, what's the deal, man?" Tristan threw in. "Why are you dressing yourself like the guy who saved Yugi from the fire?"

"Tristan… I was the guy who saved Yugi from the fire."

"So you save him just so you could eliminate him from the tournament? You need some new logic," Tristan cracked.

"Tristan, that's enough," Yugi said; the centerpiece of his Millennium Puzzle flickering. "Harold, before we continue in this duel, I must know your logic behind eliminating me. You never do anything for yourself."

Harold held up his armlet. "This is the Avatar Armlet…"


I discovered it inside a package found in my backpack at Duelist Kingdom. The night before the finals, I opened it and discovered it along with a journal. The journal looked like it was written in some sort of ancient English which led me to believe that it might be Celtic or Druid in origin. Well, whatever the origin, the moment I put on the armlet, it was like I could understand what was written in the journal. The journal talked about infighting among nobility in a far away land. The armlet was supposed to stop the nobility. However, the person who was assigned to deliver the armlet to the king died and someone else had to be chosen. That person was the daughter of the original delivery person. The daughter set out to deliver the armlet to the far away king. But she never returned.

"The journal ends after that."

"Yugi, keep him busy, I've almost broken through the seal on his spell keeping us apart." Yugi nodded. "What can the armlet do?" Yugi asked.

"That's what I set out to discover. I discovered that it enhanced natural abilities like speed and agility. It also has the ability to generate a shield for protection. It was how I was able to hold the fire at bay for so long. It could also affect other magical artifacts like your puzzle."

"That still doesn't explain why you're out to get Yugi," Tristan reminded him, his temper slowly leaving him.

"One of the armlet's other abilities. It gave me a… sixth sense I guess you could call it, a fine-tuned intuition. And I knew that this Battle City tournament would spell bad news for everyone involved, especially you, Yugi. If you value your life, you would withdraw from this tournament, otherwise I would be force to defeat you and eliminate you."

The Millennium Puzzle started to glow. Yami had broken the seal and the two joined spirits once again. "Harold, I'm sorry, but I must remain in this tournament. It is my destiny."

"Yugi, you decide your own fate," Harold argued. "If you truly value your life, you would withdraw."

"I can not."

"Then I must eliminate you," Harold said.

"Not right now, it's my move." Yami-Yugi drew a card. "I sacrifice Beta the Magnet Warrior so I can summon Dark Magician Girl!" The female monster cooed as she appeared on the field.

Tristan's eyes bugged out. "Wow, for a hologram, she sure is cute."

"You're hopeless," Tea deadpanned.

"At least I got it out of my system early on," Solomon said puffing his chest.

Tea groaned. "Men."

"Dark Magician Girl, attack his Magic Swordsman." The Dark Magician Girl fired a blast of pink energy which destroyed Neo.

(Y: 3850)
(H: 3300)

"I end my turn."

Harold drew a card and studied the Dark Magician Girl. That Dark Magician Girl is strong, but I can counter it. The thing is if I know Yugi, he has a card for every occasion including summoning monsters in defense mode. Maybe I can trick him somehow. "All I'll do for this turn is set one monster in defense mode."

He didn't set any magic or trap cards so it can't be a trick. And he didn't sacrifice anything to summon it so his monster can't be that strong. The only other possibility is that it's a flip effect monster designed to destroy my Dark Magician Girl. Fortunately I have a card that can deal with flip effect monsters. Plus if I summon another monster, I can attack his life points. "I play the magic card Immunity which protects my Dark Magician Girl from all flip effect monsters. Next, I summon Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts in attack mode! Now, Dark Magician Girl, attack his face-down card now." Dark Magician Girl flew forward and was about to strike down when a familiar looking monster rose from the face-down card. "No, the Mystical Elf!"

"That's right," Harold confirmed as a force field rose around the Mystical Elf. "The Mystical Elf has just enough defense points to repel your Dark Magician Girl." The Dark Magician Girl was forced back to her original spot, her look was apprehensive. "Looks like I tricked you, Yugi, you were expecting my face-down card to be a flip effect monster. But instead, I put a normal monster in defense mode. You wasted your Immunity card." Yami-Yugi grumbled. "And just in case you're thinking of summoning a more powerful monster…" Harold drew a card. "I play Horn of Light which increases Mystical Elf's defense points by 800!" A horn appeared on the Mystical Elf's tiara.

(ME: 2000-2800)

"And next, I summon Thunder Nyan Nyan (1) in attack mode!" A girl with red hair and brown eyes along with cat ears and a tiger-striped suit appeared. Her hands were cat claws. "Thunder Nyan Nyan, attack Gazelle with Thunder Slash!" Thunder Nyan Nyan raked her claws against Gazelle and destroyed it. "I guess the King of Beasts was no match against a cat woman, huh, Yugi?"

"Seto, I hope you're watching this," Mokuba said over his radio. "We could have a serious problem on our hands."

"I see," Kaiba muttered. "I have to admit, it's rather entertaining to see Yugi go up against one of his friends. I have real doubts that Yugi will lose this one, but keep watching just in case."

"You got it. No offense, Seto, but I hope Yugi wins this."

So do I, Kaiba thought. Otherwise, I won't be able to beat him with my Egyptian God Card. Kaiba stared at the said card. With this Egyptian God Card, I have no need for other cards. All I need are three monsters to sacrifice for it and two to activate its special ability and nothing can stop me. I may not even need to use my Blue-Eyes White Dragons any more, Obelisk is the only real card I need.


"Hey Yami, I'm still worried about what Harold said earlier."

"You mean about a light monster that's more powerful than the Dark Magician?"

"Yeah, do you think one really does exist?"

"I hope we don't find out. But in the mean time, let's summon him."

"Right."

Yami-Yugi drew a card. "I activate the Sage's Stone."

"Sage's Stone, I never heard of that card before."

"Sage's Stone can only be played when Dark Magician Girl is on the field. It allows me to special summon Dark Magician from anywhere in my deck!" The Dark Magician appeared beside his female counterpart.

"Did you see that?" Tristan asked. "Yugi just summoned his Dark Magician with a magic card!"

"What card was it, I couldn't see it," Tea asked.

"Stone something or other," Tristan guessed.

"Dark Magician, attack Thunder Nyan Nyan!" The Dark Magician raised his staff and blasted Thunder Nyan Nyan to pieces.

(Y: 3450)
(H: 2700)

"Now I place one card face-down and end my turn."

Yugi's got his most powerful monster on the field, Harold thought. I need to get my own powerful monster out onto the field now! Harold started his turn. "Well, this is interesting." Yugi stared at Harold suspiciously. "Yugi, you may recognize this card, you've used it often yourself. I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Bio-Mage!" The fairy appeared next to his Mystical Elf. "Now, I'll show you what I was saying earlier about there being a light monster that can overpower your Dark Magician. I sacrifice Mystical Elf and Bio-Mage so I can summon my most powerful creature!" The two monsters transformed into beams of light and went up to the sky. A hole of light appeared above the Duelists. "Now I summon… Wingweaver (2)!" A purple-haired angel with six wings wearing a gold dress descended. "And in case you're wondering, Wingweaver has an attack point of 2750."

So he really does have a light monster stronger than my Dark Magician, Yami-Yugi thought.

"Wingweaver, attack Yugi's Dark Magician with Light Spark!" Wingweaver held up her hands and a sphere of light formed in it. She then released it in beam form. The beam went right through and destroyed the Dark Magician.

(Y: 3200)
(H: 2700)

"A good shot," Yami-Yugi congratulated. "However, you should've destroyed my Dark Magician Girl instead."

"Huh?"

"Since my Dark Magician Girl has lower attack points, attacking her would've put a bigger dent in my life points. But because you sent my Dark Magician to the graveyard, you allowed Dark Magician Girl's special ability to activate. She gains 300 attack points."

(DMG: 2000-2300)

"So what?" Harold asked. "The fact of the matter is she still isn't strong enough to take on Wingweaver!"

"Oh you think so, do you?" Yami-Yugi drew a card. "I equip Dark Magician Girl with Malevolent Nuzzler raising her attack points by 700!"

(DMG: 2300-3000)

"Dark Magician Girl, attack Wingweaver now!"

"Wingweaver, protect yourself," Harold ordered. "Combat with Light Spark." The two women clashed energies and Dark Magician Girl was able to overpower her adversary and destroy her.

(Y: 3200)
(H: 2450)

"You see, Harold, when you put your heart into the deck, attributes do not matter," Yami-Yugi said placing a card face-down.

This can't be happening, Harold thought. Wingweaver was my best monster and he destroyed it like it was nothing, with a monster that originally had lower attack power. No, there's no way powers of darkness can overcome the powers of light, there's just no way! Harold drew a card. "I set one card face-down and end my turn."

Yami-Yugi drew a card. "Harold, I'm sorry about this, but my destiny is to take part in this tournament. It's the only way I can discover my past."

"Your past?"

"Perhaps this tournament is dangerous; it is possible that I will lose my life." Tea gasped at that comment. "But no matter what my destiny is, I will face it with honor and conviction."

"No…"

"I play Monster Reborn to revive my Dark Magician!" Yugi's monster re-appeared and Dark Magician Girl's attack points lowered.

(DMG: 3000-2700)

"Now, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl combine your powers and attack his life points directly!"

"Oh no!" Harold's face-down card was Trap Hole, a card that doesn't affect monsters that were special summoned. And together, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl's attack points topped 5000, enough to finish him off twice.

The two Dark Magicians crossed their staffs. An orb mixed of blue and pink energy was launched and struck Harold dead on.

(Y: 3200)
(H: 0)

"I'm sorry, my friend," Yami-Yugi muttered. "But I must go through with this, no matter the outcome." The force of the attack threw Harold to the ground. "Come on, guys, lets go home."

"Yeah, let's leave the traitor to think about what he did," Tristan said harshly. Mokuba headed off in a different direction as the others turned to leave. Tea took one last glance back at Harold before leaving.


Kaiba watched the duel. Yugi seemed to have no qualms about attacking Harold. And that gave him an idea. He turned to one of his Bridge Bunnies. "Get me a spare locator card now," he instructed.

"Yes, sir."


Harold sat on the sidewalk. His cloak crumpled up in front of him. "This is not good, I was unable to eliminate Yugi from the tournament and now he's going to be in extreme danger."

"You lose one match and you start bawling like a little baby? I thought that of all people, you were made of sterner stuff." It was Kaiba who appeared along with his brief case.

"Kaiba!" Harold looked away, a small smile on his face. "I suppose you're here to take back the Duel Disk."

Kaiba hmphed. "Whoever you stole that Duel Disk from deserved to have it stolen. Actually, I'm feeling generous today. Here." He threw a locator card onto Harold's lap.

Harold looked from the locator card to Kaiba. "What's this for?"

"You're going to need six of them if you're going to enter the finals."

"You're letting me participate in this tournament?"

"Your rare card is that Wingweaver of yours, right?"

"Uh… yeah."

"Then that'll be your ante card."

"Wait a second, Kaiba," Harold said as Kaiba turned to leave. "You never do anything unless it benefits you. What would you get out of allowing me to participate in Battle City?"

"Maybe I just enjoy watching a fish out of water." And without any more words, Kaiba left.

"I still don't get it, Seto," Mokuba said as they turned to head home. "What's the point of allowing Harold to participate in the tournament?"

"Having one or two wild cards won't really affect my victory, Mokuba. Besides, it just might be fun seeing Yugi going up against one of his little fans." Kaiba chuckled while Mokuba looked on concerned.
