Light of the Lost
Chapter 3
King of Heroes
"So you spikey haired pipsqeak, you ready to rummble?" were the taunts a
nervous Bandit Kieth Howard threw at a newly determined Yugi. 'I've fought for
my friends for to long,' Yugi thought as he drew his sixth card,'it's time I started
fighting for my own sake as well. After all, I have been a bully magnet for a long
time...'
We see Yugi entering junior high, not 2 years ago. This Yugi seems so on edge,
you'd think the poor boy would faint dead away at the sound of a pin drop!
Not that his caution was misplaced, as we are about to see. "Hey shrimpo!"
called a randome bully as he strutted up to Yugi. "You haven't paid the tole yet
punk, so fork over yer cash now!" After this is a familiar situation for that time,
Yugi being beaten up, shaken down, and tossed aside after what he had on him
was taken and he was very beaten up. We continue as Yugi limps off to his first
class late as usual, though the teacher long since stopped bothering Yugi, given
detention never seemed to help. All in all, Yugi's life with others involved
mainly 2 things; getting ignored by his pears, or getting a beating up by them.
This was the norm for the 14 year old boy, with the only light being his long
time freind Tea. She alone treated Yugi as any human should, aside from his
grandfather. At times he wondered, why not just give up on living this painful
life? What is there to really fight for? What could he possibly do to make a
difference?
There were times Yugi had nearly given in to all the pain in his life. But as Yugi
brought his new card to his hand and looked at it, he knew what the answer was to
hisquestion. " My move Kieth," Yugi stated to his opponent, " and it starts with
this. I summon Elemental Hero Avion, in attack mode." With that declairation a
man in a feathered green jump-suit apeared on the field. After executing a few
'heroic' poses, he settled into a fighting stace and glared at Kieth. Speaking of
whome, the American reject could only stare dumfounded as to why the supposed
'King of Games' would use a monster with 1000 attack piont and defence points,
as well as it having no effect what-so-ever? "Next," Yugi continued," I'll play
2 cards face-down on the field. That ends my turn." As Kieth drew his card he
burst into histerical laughter," HAHAHAHAHA! Oh MAN! I knew this was gunna
be cake, but THIS is just TOO MUCH!" Naturally, Valon wasn't too sure of
Yugi's strategy either, I mean, you would be too if your friend made what
appeared to be a major mistake in his deck'sassembly. However, Raphael stood
calm, knowing Yugi's victory was practically in the bag.
"Well, ya little shrimp bait, I guess it's time for me to retire you,
PERMENENTLY!" Kieth said as he slapped a card into his disk. "First, I'll play
Heavy Storm to wipe out your Spell and Trap cards on the Field." "Not gunna
happen Kieth, open face-down cards!" With that both cards revieled themselves,"
My first card is a chain to your Spell, Waboku, which protects my monsters from
attack for this turn, and next is my Quick-play Spell called Emergency Provisions,
which I chain to my trap card, increasing my life pionts by 1000 for every spell or
trap I get rid of with it's effect. Now incase you don't get it, my provisions will
bring me to 5000 life pionts by sending my trap's card to the graveyard, but since
Waboku has already activated, it's effect can't be stopped by either of our cards.
So you waisted your spell," Yugi conclude giving Kieth a mocking smile.
Naturally, Kieth was less than pleased about that," So you wanna play, let's play!
Since it's still my move, I now use cost down to lower the level of all monsters in
my hand by 2. All I have to do is send a card to the graveyard." Having said as
much, he sent his Zoa to the graveyard. "Next, I'll summon Blowback Dragon to
the field in attack mode. It may not be able to use it's 2300 attack pionts yet, but
it's effect can still work, all I have to do is land 2 out of 3 coin flips on heads and
I can send your bird boy to the grave." In the middle of the arena, 3 holo coins
flipped up and fell down. Only1 out of those 3 were heads. Yugi simply smirked
at his venting opponent, " This turn's not done yet wimp, up next cars is Monster
Reborn, so I can call back my lost Zoa (2600atk/1600def) to the field! Following
that is a card face-down, So let's see your move," Kieth said odviously feeling
secure with his cards.
"Kieth," Yugi said as he drew his next card, "you'll have to do much better than
that. My next card is Mystical Space Typhoon, a Spell that will destroy that face-
down card of yours." Kieth gritted his teeth as his Bottomless Trap Hole was
destroyed before Yugi's next monster could fall into it's depths. " As for my next
trick," Yugi continued, " I'll play Pot of Greed, a spell that let's me draw two
cards outside my draw phase." With the two new cards, Yugi was ready to end this
duel. " My next card is what will give hy heroes the advantage, the Field Spell
Card, Skyscraper!" Suddenly, the entire field seemed to be on the roof of a
building in what could only be described as New York City, or someother
concreat jungle. " Don't think I'm done just yet Kieth, next is the Combo that will
destroy you. I play Elemental Hero Burstnatrix (1200Atk/800Def) to the field in
attack mode!" Next to the first hero came a woman in red spandex, witha fireball
in each hand. She also seemed to glare right through Kieth, not that he was scared
of some chick...right? "Finally, I play my last spell, Polymerization, which fuses
my two monsters together." This swirling mass next took on the shape of a green
and red hero with a dragon head for a right arm, and white wing on the left side of
his back.
"Meet Elemental Hero Flame Wingman(2100Atk/1200Def), and since you've
been such a good sport, I'll end my turn," Yugi said in a way that you just
wouldn't picture the guy saying normally. Kieth, well... was ready to pounce on
Yugi just on principal alone would be a vast understatement. He instead drew his
card and declaired loudly, " Blowback Dragon, fry that worthless twirp's hero
with Cannon Shot!" With those orders, Blowback Dragon charged to attack, but
the hero that was his supposedtarget appeared almost out of thin air, and burnt
his opponent to a crisp with it's dragom head arm! "But...but...but...how?" was all
Kieth could stammer out as his machine was totaled before his eyes. "Sorry
Kieth," Yugi said in amusement," But Skyscraper increases an Elemental hero's
strength by 1000 when it fights a monster with a higher attack power. Also, my
Flame Wingman's ability deducts life pionts equal to the attack pionts of the
monster it destroyes in battle from the opponent." Kieth could only stand
shellshocked as his life pionts dwindled to 900 in just one turn. He even ended his
turn without using his new card he'd drawn.
"Oh well," Yugi said sighing at the situation," I guess my next opponent will be
my deck's real field test. For now, Flame Wingman, Blazing Wind!" The order
given, the hero sliced through Zoa as though it were a hot knife throgh butter,
bringing Kieth's life pionts down to Zero. The holograms soon deactivated,
leaving a semi-consious Kieth staring off into space, a calmly grinning Raphael,
and a Valon who looked as though he'd had been hit by gail-force winds. "Well,"
the diskmaker said,"that was an interesting experiance, make no mistake." He then
proceded to take the disk, put it back in it's case, and faceplant into the back-room
couch. Needless to say,Yugi was rather pleased with his deck, though Kieth was
not a real good person to judge that by. Through it all though, Yugi really firmed
his belief he'd had since his younger days of uncertenty.
That people need heroes, people that set a good example and never back down.
They need some one to stand up.
To show them what can be done with hard work and determination.
And, no matter the odds, to always fight to the very end.
A person Yugi always strived to be.
