Light of the Lost
Chapter 8
Dawn of the Cyber Dragon
Things certainly were intense right from the start. Yoko, Yugi's recently
returned cousin, has begun a duel with reigning champ Yami Atem Mouto,
recently revived ex-pharoah of Egypt. To say Yoko has pulled out all the stops in
this duel would be an understatement. As of now, Yami has 4 cards in his hand
and nothing on the field, While Yoko has no cards in her hand, one face-down
Spell or Trap, and one of her signature cards Cyber Twin Dragon
(2800Atk/2000Def) on the field. However, Yugi seems anything but cheerful
right now. 'Yoko may have a stong lead on Atem now, but he has gotten out of
tougher binds in the past,and Yoko may not be able to hold out,' thought our
spikey haired hero thought. 'That is unless she draws the card I gave her before the
duel. I just hope she can use it.'

Atem smirked as he drew his next card, "My, my, you certainly have spunk kid.
But, sadly, you can't beat the true king of games. There can only be one true
pharoah and your looking at him." As he trurned to look at her expression, he was
shocked to see her goofing off at Yugi, as he sweatdropped thinking about what
he just said about looking at the true pharoah. He shook it off however and began
his turn, "First I'll play Monster Reborn, to bring back Alpha the Magnet Worrior!
(1400Atk/1700Def) Next comes a spell card called Reasoning, when it is played,
you call a number. If the first monster I take from my deck has that many stars, it
goes staight to the graveyard, but if you guess wrong, then it is summoned to the
field."
Yoko mearly gave herbest deathglare and growled, "Seven," looking at him
with murderous intent. Atem mearly slid the top card off his deck and smirked,
"Wrong, I now call Gamma the Magnet Worrior(1500Atk/1800Def) to the field!"
His second magnet headed monster took it's place beside the first. "Now," Atem
said with little hidden arogance, " I summon Beta the Magnet Worrior
(1700Atk/1600Def) to the field, and now your end begins, for I offer all three to
special summon Valkierion the Magna Worrior!"(3500Atk/2800Def) The three
magnetic forms started to break apart at his comand and the parts soon connected
into one of the most powerful monsters in Atem's arsinal. "Now my Magna
worrior, ATTACK!" The sword wielding creature flew straight at the weaker
dragon while Yoko chuckled humorlessly. "You think me that easily defeated,
well think again! Face-down card open, De-Fusion, which separates my dragon
back into 2 Cyber Dragons(2100Atk/1600Def)x2) while your Magna worrior's
attack fails!" Atem suttered at the ordasity of this child, though he knew he could
bring her down in a matter of turns. "I'll end my turn with one face-down card!"
the ex-pharoah announce moodily.
(P.S. If your wondering later, Valkierion was summoned from Atem's deck, not
his hand. It will explain if you watch the hand card count.)
"MY turn then, DRAW!" Yoko nearly yelled drawing from her deck. A smile
soon lit up her features, "My next card is called Card of Demise, it lets me draw
up to five cards, but I lose my entire hand after five turns. Though I may only need
one or two to beat you, three at most," a cocky grin on her face that Yugi knew all
too well. 'Mabey she can beat Atem!' Yugi thought smiling, 'cause after Yoko
smiles like that, you know that your time is up.' " Now comes a spell card called
Cyber Blueprints! When this is on the field, I can use it in place of a Cyber
Dragon for any effect, so I'll play my next Polymerization card, fusing all three
together!" As this happened, all three cards swirlled untill something looking very
much like a mechanical Blue Eyes Ultiment Dragon emerged. "Now say hello to
Cyber End Dragon!(4000Atk/3200Def) And while I'm at it, I'll play Cold Wave,
which prevents us from using any spell or trap cards 'till my next turn." Ice soon
encased Atem's set card, hius eyes widening. "Now Cyber End Dragon, attack
with Ultiment Evolution Burst!" The scean was like whatching Kiba's best
monster, yet even with lower attack pionts, the blast still knocked a certain
Egyptian for a loop!

"After that, I'm done for the turn," Yoko swirled in place striking a victory
pose, and waving wildly at Yugi. 'Well,' Atem thought, 'This will be more
difficult then I thought. It's barely my third turn, and I'm down to 700 life points
already. I can turn this around, but I'll need my face-down card first, so for now.'
Atem drew his next card and smirked, "I may not be able to out muscle your
dragon, butI can keep it from attacking with this, The Swords of Revealing
Light!" Magical sword made of light now surrounded Cyber End Dragon, the
mighty beat unable to free itself, irrigardless of it's struggle. "I'll simply end my
turn," the so-called champ said looking rather smug.
(For the sake of argument, let's just say Cold Wave will count only for cards
already on the field this duel.)
Yoko, however, did not waver in her smirk. "If that's all you can do, then I can
tell you lost your better half when abandoning my cousin," Yoko said coldly
though her smile stayed neutral. "It's time to end this, DRAW!" A look at the card
was all Yoko needed. 'Looks like Yugi's card won't get it's turn, oh well,' Yoko
thought mentally grinning. 'Still, a win's a win, and now that fossil will taste
defeat.' "My next card is one you'll really get a kick out of, my Heavy Storm spell
card, all your spell and trap cards are gone!" A huge storm seemed to pick up out
of no where, heading straight for Atem's set cards. "Not going to happen, little
girl," Atem said as his face-down card opened, "I'll play a card worthy of my
heritage, Curse of Anubis!" Yoko gasped as the spectral head of the god appead in
purple smoke. "All I do," Atem stated,savoring his moment of triumph, "is
discard one card from my hand. Then, your card that could have destroyed my
spell is negated. After that, I select one monster on your field and destroy it,
taking that many life pionts from you!"
Yoko had other plans though, "I had a feeling you had something like that, so I
play the quick-play spell, My Body As A Shield, by sacrificing 1500 life pionts, I
can save my dear dragon." Suddenly, Yoko shot out to the dueling field and took
Anubis's head in the chest, as her life pionts dropped.

"Now, moving on, I'll play my last card Face-down and end my turn," Yoko
said still feeling an ache after the blow from Atem's trap. Atem, however, drew
and was sportingthe grin that spelled doom for almost every duelist he's ever
fought against. "It's been fun kid," Atem said, "but all good things must come to
an end. I now play my Pot Of Greed spell and draw two cards." After he drew he
took the second drawn card and played it, " You will soon know fear, for I now
play my own De-Fusion, separating your dragon." With that, the three-headed
beast became two Cyber Dragons and Cyber Blue Prints. Finally, I'll end with my
last down card." The ex-pharoah then set his last card. Naturally, Yoko was
caucious as she drew, and drew the card Yugi gave her. 'No WAY!' Yoko
sceamed meantally doing her happy dance, 'I DREW IT! I DID IT! YES!'
However, she was aware that Atem looked way too smug. She mentally cursed
since she had only her Jar of Greed trap set, but any bluff was a good one. She
then said, almost bored, "I got nothin', I pass." The casual manner gave the others
reason to start raising eyebrowes.
Atem, though, could have taken it better as he drew. (Now say it with me,
HE'SANGRY!) "It's high time you learn your place, you brat!" Atem spat in
rage, "My face-down card is Soul Exchange, So I'll Sacrifice your two Cyber
dragons...," the two beasts vanished in twin cyclones, "..to summon my Dark
Magician!(2500ATK/2100DEF) Lucky for you, I can't attack the same turn it's
summoned, your move."
This, to everyones' surprise, got Yoko very angry, yet her glare was not at
Atem, but at his monster. Whome, to those who looked closely, seemed
almostdepressed if not down-right sad. Yugi, in spite of himself, felt his heart go
out to the monster, remembering the times he called upon it himself, even
becoming it during his first shadow duel with the evil Bakura.
Yoko, however, seemed to glare at the monster convaying a silent message,
'You chose to serve the wrong pharoah buster, and now your bothgunna pay!' As
she drew, her face-down card opened, "I play Jar of Greed, to draw an extra card."
The draw was very good, to say the least. "I now play a card called Poison of the
Old Man, which I'll use to gain 1200 life pionts."

"Next, is the card thatValentine uses, and really cleans up the act, Harpie's
Feather Duster! So you loose your swords a turn early," Yoko said grinning like
the cat that caught the cannary. "And now comes a card given to me by Yugi, I call
upon, THE FANG OF CRITIOUS!" Instantly, the dragon in question apeared on
the feild asimposingas ever. Atem stared in shock as one of the dragons that he
used to command became his newest obsticle. "But that's just the begining,"
Yoko continued, "Now I'll fuse Critious with Cyber Blueprints to form..." The
two forms blurred untill a machinized version of a Blue Eyes White Dragon
emerged. "...Cyber Matrix Dragon!(2500Atk/2500Def) And you'll just love it's
ability, forby removing cards with Cyber in their name from my gaveyard from
play, I can gain 500 extra attack pionts for my monster!" Suddenly the ghost forms
of the three Cyber Dragons, Cyber Twin Dragon, Cyber End Dragon, and Cyber
Blueprints rose from her graveyard, as her monsters attack began to increase.
(5500Atk/2500Def) Atem turned a pale white, while the Dark Magician smiled
sadly. "Now! Cyber Matrix Dragon! Attack with Hyper Marix Evolution Burst!"
To say the blast was impressive was an under-statement. After a blinding flash
that caused the duel disks' holo-generators to be stressed to the max, the dust
cleared as one figure remained standing.

Flashing a victory sign, the last of Yoko's energy was spent as she collapsed
into her cousin's waiting arms. "That'll teach the old fossil not to mess with
family," Yoko said in a weak, yetup upbeat tone as Yugi looked on with a proud
gin on his face. "Yup," he responded, "he'd better not, cause nobody messes with
our family," flshing Raphael a smile.Raphael, smilinggently, knelt down and
scooped up Yoko.Then, with Yugi following, left the grounds of the duel
without so much as a backwards glance.
Author's Second Note: Again, I appologise, but I insist I'll be doing better
from here on out. My update rate may drop but each month will have at least
3 new installments each time. I may try writing something else if I hit writers'
block as a side project, but this is my brain child, and I will stick with it as
long as you all enjoy it.
Thanks again for all the support, and Shadow Fox, I hope I continue to make
Yoko the kind of duelist you like.
Also, My thanks for the kind words of Griffin D. Sage, and no yaoi is a pollicy
I keep only since I think it's been overdone and makes little practical scense.
Though I honestly am not against yaoi, just that it seems so common, and
really, I'd like to think my fic tends to stand out from the norm, in a good
way.
Thanks again, all of you.
Later days!
