Sdrive: Well, lets get going, the next chapter of the Masters Tournament.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Sdrive, Yami, and Yamato carried Yuko back to her room. They could sense that her soul was indeed still with her body. They laid her down on her bed as Sdrive quietly walked out the room. Yamato saw him as he walked out but decided to just let him go.
Sdrive walked down the hall and back towards the Coliseum. He slid the card through and walked into the middle of the arena. He looked around the stadium and took notice of all the detail put into it. He pulled out his deck and looked through each card slowly. "I must win," Sdrive said to himself. "Losing has never been an option, but now it's unthinkable. I won't lose to a Toon Deck." 'Toon Deck,' he thought to himself. 'Some how it matches the kind of carefree nature I saw in her at the banquet last night.' He stood there in the middle of the arena deep in his thoughts. Suddenly he heard the doors open. He looked over to see Stephanie walking inside of the arena.
"Stephanie?" he said slowly. 'What's she doing here?' he thought to himself.
Stephanie looked over towards the center of the arena and saw Sdrive standing there. She just sorta stared at him for a while before slowly crossing towards the arena to meet him in the center. "I guess this tournament is pretty bad," she said.
"Yeah it is," he said staring up at the sky.
"I didn't really think much of it at first. But now I see all the pain it's causing. So many people are getting hurt. It almost seems unfair for those who didn't do anything to deserve it. I suppose people with special abilities are put into danger all because they have those abilities."
"Yeah I guess so."
Stephanie looked at him sadly. "I really didn't think things would turn out this way. I'm seeing things that I didn't want to see earlier, or things that I ignored."
"What are you talking about?" Sdrive asked her.
"I'm sorry for your girlfriend. I'm sorry she was put through this. I'm sorry you were put through this."
"What's going on?" Sdrive asked.
Stephanie clutched her fists together, and closed her eyes tightly. "This tournament is out of control. I don't want to be a part of it anymore." She wrapped her arms around Sdrive and buried her face in his chest.
He put his arm around her back and hugged her. "Things aren't as bad as they seem," he said trying to act as though he meant it. "We'll get through all of this."
She pulled away slightly and looked him in the eyes, "Have you ever had a secret you kept from others close to you?" she asked.
"What?" Sdrive asked a little shocked at her question.
"A secret that you swore not to tell anyone, but later felt that you should have?"
Sdrive began to open his mouth but then closed it. 'I have...' he thought. 'I've kept secrets too. Secrets that should have been told by now. I asked Yami to wait until the tournament was over, but now I feel as though I need to come out and say it.' He looked down at Stephanie and smiled. "I have," he said. "I've kept secrets from my best friends, friends I should have told the truth to right away."
"Why didn't you tell them the truth?" she inquired.
"Because I didn't think I could trust them with the truth at that time," he said. His smile slowly faded into a small frown. "Now I realize I was wrong. Sayora has known my past all along. And now it's time I make good with my friends. I need to tell them the truth." He looked down at Stephanie and put his hand on her shoulder. "Thank you. You helped me realize what I had to do." He took his hand off her shoulder and began to walk away. He stopped and turned to look at her. "Was there something you needed to tell me?"
She opened her mouth to talk but she couldn't get the words to come out. "I...I do. But...I'm not ready. What I say has consequences. And I need to gather the courage to be able to face them."
"Well, getting the courage to speak your secrets can be hard. I'm just lucky I had a good friend like you to help me." He looked at her and smiled. "I'm sorry for how I may have treated you earlier. I guess your idolization of me sort of made me uncomfortable. I've never really enjoyed the spotlight. So having you always hang on me made me nervous. But I'm sorry. You are a true friend. I'm sure you will find the courage to tell me what you need too someday." With that he turned towards the doors and left Stephanie to stand there staring at his fleeting form.
Bakura was walking through the halls of the Coliseum allowing his Sennen Ring to guide him through the hallways. He turned a corner and looked around. "Where are you?" he asked into the air. "I must find you to win back the Sennen Eye." Suddenly the prongs changed directions and pointed to the left around the corner. The energy was stronger. He wasn't positive, but he thought that it might be because there was another item closer to him than the one he was seeking. He put his back towards the wall and waited for whoever it was to pass by. He watched as Sdrive walked through the hallway and go straight. He smirked knowing that now he could follow Sdrive from behind and find out where he was going. He followed behind him quietly.
Sdrive was walking through the halls and made his way back into the hotel part of the Coliseum. He slid his card through the door to his room and opened it. He saw that Yamato was inside the room reading a book and Yugi was laying down on his bed. Kaiba was in a chair typing on his laptop. The others turned to look at Sdrive giving a small friendly smile. "Hey guys," he said.
Yugi looked over at Sdrive and his expression brightened a little. "Hi Sdrive." Yamato gave a simple nod while Kaiba continued to type on his laptop.
"I would like to talk to you guys," he said to them. "You're invited to listen to Kaiba, but I don't think you will really care that much."
"I probably won't," he said not taking his eyes off his computer.
"What do you need to talk to us about," Yamato asked.
"My past." He said simply.
From behind the door Bakura listened intently. "His past? Interesting, this may hold a clue to his hidden powers. I should stick around. The Sennen Eye can wait."
"If it isn't a bother Yugi," Sdrive began, "I promised Yami that I would tell him my past. If you could please switch I'm sure he would be pleased."
"No that's fine," Yugi said. He closed his eyes and the Sennen Puzzle began to glow.
"I'm leaving," Kaiba said standing up. He took his laptop and walked out the door.
"Guess he doesn't want to see Yugi fuse with Yami," Yamato said to Sdrive. He nodded and they waited for the puzzle to stop glowing.
"Yugi told me that you were ready to talk to me." Yami said standing before them.
Sdrive nodded and then sighed. He grabbed the chair that Kaiba had been sitting in and sat down in it. "It took me a while realize that I had no reason to hide anything from you guys. You guys have always been there for me even though you didn't even know anything about me.
Well, I'm finally ready to tell you guys." He took a deep breath and then began.
"First off, I think you guys should know my real name. It's Kokuro, Kokuro Samé, well, that's what I've been told anyway." He noticed the stares he was getting and explained. "My mother died while giving birth to me and my father took off on me so I was orphaned. A Japanese Family adopted me and gave me the name Kokuro. They raised me with the American Heritage I was born with but also with a Japanese Heritage. They sent me to school where I lived without any friends. I was alone until they taught me about Duel Monsters."
"I became obsessed with the game. It was my passion, it was my life. The first card I ever received was the Black Magician. So I told myself that I would make a deck involving that card. And I did. I went to beat many people in school but they only hated me more for it. Then one day I met Kelly. We were paired up to be lab partners in science and we got to know each other that way. She loved Duel Monsters just as much as I did. I asked her to duel me during lunch that day, I'll never forget it. She trounced me. I was amazed. But she didn't let the win go to her head. She became my friend and we started doing everything together. Finally she agreed to be my girlfriend. I was so happy, but I soon learned that that happiness would fade fast."
"For some reason unknown to me to this day, her parents decided to leave and move to Egypt. I chased her down at the airport before she got on the plane to say good bye to her. I promised myself that I would meet her again some day."
Yamato and Yami looked on at the boy they knew as 'Sdrive' for so long. He laughed a bit. "What? Never knew there was so many interesting things about me?" he joked. His face became serious, "A few days after Kelly left I happened to notice a pair of cloaked figures running past the school with the police hot on their trail. They were captured and I thought nothing of it. When I got home I discovered crime scene tape and a police officer waiting for me to get there. He told me how a bomb had been set off in the house and that my foster parents had been killed by the blast. He said that they had spotted some cloaked figures near my house and they sent their men off to capture them."
"At that point I knew that the same cloaked figures I had seen running were responsible. I ran to the police station and demanded to see them but had been told that they had escaped on their way to the station. I set off to find them. I ignored all rational thought. At around 1 at night I finally found them. It was an experience I will never forget."
"Ahh, so the brat has finally found us? What did you think of the job we did to your home?" One of the cloaked figures said.
"Why did you do that?" I asked. "What reason could you have possibly had?"
"Our master wanted you out of our way. Unfortunately you were in school when we set off the bomb. I guess I'll just have to take you apart here. Beat me in a duel and you are free to go, but lose and I kill you." He said.
"Very well, I accept your challenge," I had said. And so the duel went on. He was beating me at every move I made until suddenly, I found my way out.
Cloaked Figure: 2150
Sdrive: 1000
"You fool, all you have is a measly Kuriboh while I have this all powerful Black Luster Soldier. What could you possibly hope to do?"
"I'll play this!" I said. "I activate Tribute Doll, I sacrifice my Kuriboh in order to Summon my Black Magician! Next I offer it up in order to summon my Black Magician Girl! Since I have one Black Magician in the graveyard she gains 300 extra attack points."
"I'm afraid it's too weak you fool."
"Oh? Even after I activate Ryroku?"
"No, not that!"
"Go my Black Magician Girl, attack his monster and finish this duel!"
"The Black Magician Girl wiped out his last monster and I won the duel. Suddenly he took out a knife and came at me. Amazingly I started fighting him off and blocking every shot he made. Suddenly I realized that I was not doing anything with my body, but it was acting of its own. He came at me and it looked as though I was through when suddenly my hand snapped its fingers and a burst of fire came streaming from my hand and knocked the guy back. The other guy ran for me and suddenly my arm shot out and lighting came out of it blasting the other guy. Suddenly I had control over my body again and I ran for it."
"I crouched down and took a deep breath when I heard a voice next to me. Startled I spun around, but no one was there. I heard it again and then realized it was in my mind. I closed my eyes and that was the first time I met Dokara and Fuuten. They explained that due to the sudden burst of emotions my inner magic had brought them out and created them to represent my feelings." Suddenly in a burst of light Fuuten was standing next to Sdrive.
"I then went on to explain to him that I came about before Dokara because he was always so hyper." In another flash of light Dokara appeared holding Futten in a head lock.
"You were not and even if you were I don't think now would be a good time to get into an argument about it you moron!"
Sdrive looked up at them and smiled as Fuuten managed to say "You know you love me sis."
"As much as I love having the -chan honorfic placed at the end of my name."
"You hate me that much?" Fuuten asked a bit worried.
"Um, guys," Sdrive said butting in.
Dokara looked over at Sdrive, "Oh sorry, continue on, I'll keep the crazy one here in check."
"HEY!" came the strangled reply from Fuuten.
"Anyway, they went on…after arguing…to tell me that they were formed from my emotions. Dokara from my anger towards the cloaked men, and Fuuten from my normally over energetic spirit. They also told me that there was another in me, and that happened to be Ricenmei. He appeared and told me that ever since I had begun playing Duel Monsters, he had been guiding me, seeing as how he was my intelligence, my strategist."
"Sort of like how I help Yugi," Yami said.
"Not exactly, because unlike you, Ricenmei is a part of my soul itself. You are the spirit of the Sennen Puzzle. In any case, they told me that I had great magical powers. I didn't believe them at first and dismissed it as delusion until they brought up the part of my body throwing fire and lightning. I decided that I would take care of my parents first before I even considered seeing a psychiatrist. During the preparation for burying my parents I realized that they were not hallucinations. This knowledge came to me when they told me to focus my spiritual energy and give them a body in the outside world. I did it and it nearly drained me. I looked at them and realized they were real. A friend of the family came by and said that he didn't realize I had visitors and that he would come over again another day. Knowing that he had seen them too was enough proof for me."
"After the funeral I realized there was nothing else for me to do there so I figured my best bet was to try to earn some money and meet up with Kelly in Egypt. I found a job at a card shop and the man there noticed my potential as a duelist. He taught me awesome strategies and made me better than I already was. Working there I discovered that a new tournament was beginning. The Continental Tournament. The prize money wasn't bad and on top of that the winner would get to create their own unique set of cards. My boss urged me to do my best and gave me the money I needed to go to it."
"And let me guess, you won," Yamato said.
Outside with the ring still glowing Bakura was staring wide eyed at the door. "This isn't possible. This brat had this kind of life and never shared it with anyone? But he wasn't even that great of a duelist when we first met him. How the hell did he keep all this a secret?"
Sdrive sat there and laughed, "Well, I certainly did my best. The tournament pitted me against the strongest opponents I had ever faced before this one. But in the end I did end up winning it. The tournament started out by having multiple players play against each other in each continent. The winner of each continent got to make their new cards, three of them. And then the would pit their decks off with their own created cards in New York City. So, I created my cards and went to New York for a chance at winning the tournament."
"Wait, I thought that only the winner was allowed to create the cards if they won the entire thing."
"Not exactly. They asked us what cards we wanted to make and then they made the proto-types of the cards that each duelist got to hang on to. The winner of the tournament would get to keep his proto-types to himself, and the losers would get to keep theirs, but if theirs would get distributed to the rest of the world. How do you think such a broken card like Cyber Stein was created?"
"That was created by someone who had won in one of the winning continents?"
"Yep!" he said smiling. "In any case, we were given the proto-types and the winner got to keep theirs to themselves. So I created my cards and received them when I got to New York. I one the first round and then won my semi-final duel. While waiting for my last duel, I noticed some men in black cloaks. Suspecting wrong doing I went to investigate. I dueled them and ended up being late for my final duel so I was disqualified."
"So, how did you keep your cards?" Yamato asked.
"I ran in and was told I was too late. I begged for the shot to duel the guy anyway and they guy was nice enough to let me. We dueled and we had a great fight. I kept coming back at him and he kept coming back at me. In the end I ended up winning. He was impressed with my skills but the tournament hosts said that even though I beat him, I was not the winner of the tournament. I told them I understood and thanked them for the chance to duel anyway."
"So, why weren't your cards distributed?" Yami asked.
"That's where my opponent comes in. He was allowed to create two other cards along with the three he had already made. He asked me, what kind of card I would have created if I was ever given the chance to create one other card. I told him and then he asked me for my address so we could stay in touch. I told him what happened and that I was currently staying with my boss. He told me to give him the address of the card shop so that I could get his letters there. When the tournament host came asking me to give him the proto-types I begged him to let me keep my cards, and to keep it our secret. The man said it was not proper protocol but my new friend continued to beg explaining my situation. The guy was nice enough to create a contract with Industrial Illusions to let me keep my cards as my own. It would be kept secret and only us and Industrial Illusions would know better. I thanked him non stop and he just said that it was his pleasure. He smiled at me, half his face covered by his hair, and a glimmer of gold light coming out of the hair."
"No way!" Yamato said.
"That could only be Pegasus!" Yami said astonished.
"Pegasus!" Bakura said to himself completely overwhelmed.
Sdrive smiled and nodded, "Yes, the man who made the contract was non other than Pegasus. I didn't know it then, but he had read my mind and knew how much the cards meant to me. So he let me keep them."
"Didn't you call Pegasus a crazed psycho path when we were talking earlier?"
"Well he is, but he hadn't gone off the deep end yet. He was still looking for the God Cards at that point. Anyway, I went back to work with my boss and told him all about what had happened. He was very happy for me and told me that he was proud of me. I went on to work for him for about another month before I had the money I needed to get my ticket to Egypt. I had tried to get a morning flight but technical difficulties stopped me. So my flight was at night. I worked the day and then I got one final letter from my friend. Inside was a special card that I was stunned to see. It was the card I had told him that I would create. He said in the letter that he felt I should have at least one of the two cards since I did beat him and that was why he had asked that question. I was overcome with joy and shock. I wrote him back thanking him and telling him that I would be going down to Egypt, so I gave him my e-mail address and told him to keep in touch."
"What was this kids name?" Yamato asked. "You just keep referring to him as either your friend or your opponent."
"Well…" he looked down at his watch and noticed the time. "I gotta hurry, the next round will be starting soon. Anyway, when I was down in Egypt, I tried to find Kelly. I searched Cairo all over but I couldn't locate her. I feared I was too late. During my expedition I did come across Shadi. We happened to meet while I was in one of the Bazars. I was window shopping when I saw a man walking away holding a golden ring. I walked over the shop and Shadi fell to the ground as soon as he saw me.
"Such power. It has been quite some time since I have sensed an aura so strong. You must truly be one of great magical power." He said to me.
"I do think I have some kind of power within me," I told him. "I just don't know what kind it is." He looked at me for a few seconds before continuing.
"I think you could be the one. Please, follow me." So I followed him through the streets of Cairo until we came to the edge of the dessert. We came to a building and walked down a large number of steps into a giant underground chamber. I saw a large statue with what seemed to have parts of it missing. One of the parts looked like the golden ring I had seen the other man walking away with earlier. They continued onward into another hallway that was out of sight of one when first entered.
"I am the guardian of the Sennen Items. It has been my duty to protect all the items, however there is one item in particular that has been guarded longer than all the others. I believe that you are the only one who will be able to posses this item."
"Um…what's a Sennen Item?"
"They are Items filled with magical powers. However, one of the items contains a powerful spirit. A spirit of such great power that if fallen into the wrong hands the entire world could crumble at its feet."
"And you are intrusting me with this type of item because…why?"
"You're aura, far surpasses anything I have ever seen. If I am correct, then you should be the only one who will be able to keep this spirit at bay."
"And if you are wrong," I asked cautiously.
"If I am wrong then you will be swallowed by the realm of eternal darkness where your soul will wander all your days."
I gulped, "I have just been using magic for a short time. I'm not even all that good yet."
"If you wish, I will allow you to train here until you feel confident." So I trained there using magic, and gaining power. I dueled my first shadow game there with one of Shadi's men. I would spar with Dokara and Ricenmei would teach me how to use the magic within me. With their help and Fuuten's energy, I one day laid eyes on the Item.
"This is the Sennen Harp," Shadi said showing me a small golden harp. "If you can reach out and grab it, then it will prove that I am correct, and that you will be allowed to take it with you."
So I walked up to the pedestal that the harp laid on. I reached out and felt a dark presence around it, as if the presence was trying to force me away. However my will was stronger, and I reached towards it and grabbed it. Instantly it started glowing and I could feel an ancient power running through my body. It was then that I met Shi for the very first time.
"So, after all these years you have come back into my life. And here I thought you had forgotten me," he said to me.
"What are you talking about?" I asked him.
"You mean you don't remember me?" he then let out the most sinister laugh I ever heard. "Well, I guess it means that I am finally free to continue what I was doing before you and that damn Atem screwed with my plans."
"I was told that I was the only one who could stop the evil spirit of the harp. I guess that's you huh?"
"You fool, you are so naïve. I guess 5000 years will cause someone without a cause to forget their entire reason for existing. Well, if you hadn't locked me up with the help from the pharaoh then I guess we wouldn't be here right now would we?" I just stared at him blankly. "Move aside," he tried to push me away but a light erupted and he was pushed back. "Don't tell me I'm still trapped by that damn harp. Oh shit! Don't tell me I've now bonded with you through the powers of that damn harp!"
"I don't know. I guess that's what happened," I said still not sure myself.
Shadi took me out of my conversation with Shi and spoke, "Take heed, the ancient spirit now rests with you. He will be problematic but do not worry. You are strong enough to keep him at bay." And with that he disappeared. I left and as soon as I got out I saw some more men in black cloaks.
"Shi took over and completely destroyed them at a Shadow Game at that point," Sdrive said to Yamato and Yami. "I then learned that they were Rare Hunters and that they had plans to go find something in Japan. I wanted to stay and search for Kelly, but I knew that Japan was in danger. So in honor of my foster parents, I went to Japan. It was there that I got caught by the Japanese police and thrown into the orphanage."
"And that's the end of the story," Yamato said.
"Almost," he said. "Before I left for Japan I knew that I would need some way to protect my identity from the Rare Hunters. A way that no one would ever be able to find out who I was. So I took the name of an old online game account that I used to use and used that as my nickname from then on. I had told Kelly while we were together that if I ever needed some kind of ailias it would be Sdrive."
"So, that's how you came to be known as Sdrive," Yamato said.
"Yes. And the orphanage was the first time we met. Before I met you though, I was overcome with negativity, but at the same time determination. I wanted to get out of the orphanage and find the Rare Hunters. Through this, Kyoshen came about. And when I met you and finally had a friend I could keep in touch with. I was again so overjoyed that Selaya came to be. And that is the rest of my Incarnations."
"But according to Yuko, you had your incarnations in your past life. So how could they have just formed if…"
"I'm done being quiet!" Fuuten shouted. "I gotta get out and do something."
"Then get back in Kokuro and shut up!" In a flash Fuuten disappeared and Ricenmei appeared.
"If I may speak," he said. "We have always been with Kokuro, its just that we were sort of bound to him and had no way to be known to him. It took great times of trial or certain emotional feelings for us to finally be able to contact him and take a physical form."
"I see," Yami said.
"I never knew that's what you experienced," Yamato said.
"I know," he said. "I even disguised my dueling techniques, created a weaker deck, still a winning one, but a weaker one, and pretended not to know anything much about Duel Monsters so I would not to get caught by the Rare Hunters, and to try to possibly find Kelly. And once my I got the invitation to come here, I knew instantly that I would have a lot happening. I'm sorry that I've lied to you for so long. But I had to keep my identity a secret. But that doesn't matter anymore. I know that Sayora knows who I am. It's the only way she would have know about the Continental Tournament."
"But she said that you won it."
"Technically when I beat my opponent, I did win it, but because of the contract, it couldn't be revealed. Only Pegasus, him, and I knew about it. That's what stuns me, is how she knows that I'm the real winner."
ATTENTION DUELISTS! THE NEXT ROUND OF THE FINALS FOR THE MASTERS TOURNAMENT IS ABOUT TO BEGIN. ALL REMAINING PARTICIPANTS PLEASE MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE COLLESIUM FOR THE NEXT DUEL
"Well, I guess we'll find out soon enough," Yamato said standing,. Him and Yami began walking towards the door but Sdrive just sat there. "You coming."
"How can you be so calm? You just found out that I lied to you ever since you knew me. Yamato, you didn't teach me magic or Duel Monsters…"
"I taught you how to fight proper Shadow Games did I not?"
"Well, yeah, but…"
"And did he ever show you something about Duel Monsters you didn't know?" Yami asked.
"Yeah, he showed me some things that I never got around to learning from my boss…"
"Then I did teach you," Yamato said.
"But…you didn't teach me how to duel. I've lied to you both for so long, to everyone."
"You really are my idiot apprentice, it doesn't matter if you learned most of the stuff you learned from someone else. I taught you a few things, and you've learned even more throughout this tournament. There is always something more you can learn. Besides, you were still uneasy about your magic when we first met, where you not?"
"Yeah, that's true."
"You've been more help to me by using magic then you have playing a card game. And I helped you learn your magical potential. Besides, don't you remember the conversation we already had?"
"Which one?"
Yamato sighed, "The one where you asked me if I would still be by you even if you were better at dueling and if you had lied." Sdrive nodded. "And what did I say to you?"
He smiled, "You said you would always be there for me. No matter what the circumstances were."
"Right, so don't worry about it. Right now our main goal is to defeat Sayora. Right Yami?"
Yami nodded, "Yes, and I'm sure every one will still be your friend when you tell them."
"Thanks guys," he said smiling.
"You're welcome Sdrive."
However Sdrive shook his head. "No. It's time I finally went by my true name. From now on, please call me Kokuro.
"As you wish, Kokuro," Yami said.
"Well, whatever your name is, just do us one thing," Yamato began.
"What's that?"
"When you next see the bully at school, Jack, kick his ass with your true skills."
"Done!" Kokuro said smiling. "Now lets go, we have a tournament to win, and wrongs to right!"
"Yes," Yami said while Yamato nodded. They walked out to discover Ryou at the door. "Ryou?" Yami asked.
"You guys weren't on your ways down to the arena so I came to check on you."
"Thanks," Kokuro said.
"It's no problem Kokuro." The trio looked at him with shocked looks. "What? I heard you telling them you wanted to be called Kokuro from now on."
"So I did," Kokuro said. "Well then, lets do it!" he said smiling. They walked down the hallway and they entered the Coliseum. They walked past Sayora and she smiled at him.
'So, he finally revealed everything,' she thought to herself. She turned to the microphone and spoke into it. "View next match up."
Yamato: So, Sdrive, or should I say Kokuro, has finally revealed all his secrets. But how come I feel as though now that this is revealed, more danger approaches us? The next duel is about to get underway, and it's going to be played in the Shadow Realm. My Advice for the day: Don't eat shock absorbers. See ya next time.
Reviews:
Dark SoulKai: I see, I will look forward to finding out more about him. You are welcome for all the reviews and thank you for the compliment. I guess you read all the way to chapter 22. Cool. Oh, and I know I said it in the e-mail, but thanks again for the notice about the update wait and for the reason why it will be postponed.
Mina-chan AMD: Yeah, I felt bad making her lose so soon. I really like her in the Manga so it was hard to do. Thanks for the compliment.
Otaku: Um, I don't think you reviewed? Oh well, your in the finals don't worry. If you check your map navigator the next chapter might take a while. But we'll reach it eventually hahahahahahahahaha!
Peace: Yes, I'm still alive. Who said she was after world domination? What if she's after something different, but yes, there are some that she hacked into for important reasons and reasons for her own amusement. Of course they are broken, they are Toon cards. Oh well. Hey, In your next review, could you tell me if you got my message? I tried to call you at your house on Saturday to wish you off when I found out that you already left. Your mom gave me the phone number for your room but I had to try different things to get it to work, in the end I don't know if it got to you. So please tell me if it did. Good luck out there my friend.
Lucien: Thanks, so, 2 out of however many reviewers think that Stephanie is evil. Are they right? Lets take a poll, who thinks Stephanie is actually evil? Your ideas on how the different characters are involved are amusing to me. Some of you are actually excessively close to figuring out the characters, and others almost have the entire tournament figured out. Who are these reviewers and what are they missing? Lets find out. Thanks again.
High-Elf-Swordsman: Toon cards are tricky, but it's a bit easier when you have also created your own Toon Cards. It is sad though, I look at Sayora's deck, and it sorta makes me wish that I owned the deck, it would be the best kick ass Toon Deck around. Most of the real Toon Cards suck. Keep on reading.
Reaver: So sorry that you lost Bakura. Be prepared, your about to lose again soon enough. But don't think that means you will be gone forever. I can't keep my favorite character in the dark forever. Well, I CAN but I won't. As for Yuko, I did feel bad making her lose that early but you do have to remember one thing, Sayora now has the Sennen Eye, whether she used it or not…But lets remember this, if she is using it, then she defiantly has the power of plot holes. I mean, lets face it, Pegasus read Yugi's mind and since he knows what card he has in his hands Pegasus just magically has the card needed to stop him. So like all the other items, the Eye has evil card winning powers.
Zenryo: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I actually mistyped that. I wondered what you meant, and I went back and realized what I had her say. Oh well, I'll go fix it later. Thanks again.
Power to the Hikari's
