Chapter 5 the power struggle

"You would think it would be nice if the slave would appreciate getting a roof over her head and fed," Pegusus states as he walks towards me, "but no she goes behind my back and tries to destroy me.  So I'll end this match and deal with all of you."

Pegusus jumps at me we struggle and he over powers me. I fall to the ground out cold.

Tristan watches as Eagle stands and looks at the field, then looks at her hand. He looks at Pegusus he's still standing there motionless with the same stern look.

"I'll attack you with this blue Eyes white dragon (3000/2500). That will remove the last of your life points. Kimo take him to the waiting room."

Inside my head I lay motionless trying to regain control of my body when I open my eyes I see Yugi, Bakura and Joey standing around me.

"Are you okay?" Yugi asked.

"I think so.  Where's Pegusus?" I ask.

"He finished the duel with Tristan." Joey replied.

"Needless to say, he wasn't too happy to lose. Now where were we? Oh yes I remember all of you out NOW!" Pegusus roars exposing his millennium eye.

"Kimo bring the remaining three to the arena." Pegusus instructs from the balcony.

I sit on the podium trying my best to regain my strength.  When I have regain some of it I watch Joey, Bakura, and Yugi be brought in. they stand waiting, not that the guards would let them get away. The lights come on in the arena and I look around. I can see the waiting area where Tea and Tristan are. They stand motionless like they're frozen.

"Ah eagle I see you found them and yes they are frozen. Now Joey will join them." Pegusus remarks as the guards grab Joey and drag him out of the arena.

"Joey!" Yugi and Bakura cry together. I sit there still don't have full strength yet.

"Now I'll finish you all off." Pegusus yells as he reveals his millennium eye. We are blinded by a flash of light.

When we can see again we are in ancient Egypt, but something's strange.  There are two Yugi's

"Yugi are you okay?" Bakura asks running to little Yugi.

"I'm fine. Where are we?" little Yugi asks

"Home." Yami Yugi replies standing facing Pegusus.

"Ah I see you're up. Good that will make this duel very interesting." Pegusus scowls. "As you can see with two Yugi's this will be even better I only have to defeat little Yugi to destroy the Pharaoh."

"I'm afraid I can't let you do that." Yami states standing between Pegusus and little Yugi.

I regain my strength and go to Yami. "I'm afraid I can't let you do that either."

"Then I'll duel you and end this once and for all. And since my slave isn't going to be any help. I'll just do this myself." Pegusus yells angrily as he changes into a priest.

"Yami Can you duel him by yourself?" I ask.

"Yes. Go to Yugi. You will be helpful watching over Yugi." he replies.

I nod and go to Yugi.  We watch as a field appears before Yami and Pegusus.

"Yugi I have a bad feeling about this duel." I say turning towards little Yugi. "You're going to have to back Yami. I'll do my best to protect you."

"So pharaoh you think your friends will be able to help you.  Perhaps I should up the stakes, if you die little Yugi dies with you." Pegusus yells.

"Let's duel so can get this over with. Eagle guard Yugi." he shouts.

They begin the duel with 2000 life points. I'm not sure what Pegusus has in mind, but it can't be good. Pegusus goes first. He puts out a card in face down attack mode and ends his turn. Yami looks through his hand and puts down a card.

"I'll attack you with Celtic Guardian (1400/1200)." Yami yells.

We watch as his Celtic Guardian runs towards the glowing space that represented the card Pegusus played, and watch as Koumori Dragon (1500/1200) defeats it, and watch Yami take the hundred point difference put his life points don't move.

"What is this Pegusus? My life points should have changed." Yami roars.

"Yugi!" Bakura yells as Yugi falls to his knees from the blow.

"Ah good it's working." Pegusus exclaims laughing. "Remember how I said if you die little Yugi dies too. Well apparently I was mistaken. For every life point you lose Yugi loses instead."

 "Yami I have an idea don't worry about Yugi." I yell at him as I place my hand on Yugi and take the damage Pegusus inflicted on Yugi.

"Eagle, what are you doing?" Yami inquires.

"Protecting Yugi now duel!" I scream.

"How sweet, the slave is going to give her life for Yugi."  Pegusus says with sarcasm.

Yami looks through his hand. "I'll lay down this card face down for now. And put this magic card down. Now I'll put Kuribo (300/500) in defense mode and use multiply to defend myself."

We watch as Kuribo (300/500) appears and then multiplies in to a protective wall.  Pegusus just stands there with no expression.  Yami ends his turn and Pegusus reveals his next attack.

"Very well played pharaoh but I'm afraid it won't save you very long. You see I have the card that will defeat your defense. Now I'll use it." Pegusus shouts as he puts the card on the field its dark hole. It eliminates everything on the field. "Now since I destroyed my own monster I'll bring it back with monster reborn."

Pegasus's Koumori dragon (1500/1200) reappears on the field. "I'll end my turn by placing this trap card on the field." Pegusus expressed.

Yami turns and looks at Bakura, Yugi and me. Yugi is standing now I still have my hand on his back. I'm doubled over holding my stomach with my free hand Bakura is holding me up so I don't fall on my face; I look like I've been punched in the stomach or something.  Yami turns around and places a card on the field face down. With his defense gone he has no way to protect himself and Yugi.

"I'll attack you with my skull red bird (1550/1200)." Yami yells.

Pegasus's monster takes the hit and is destroyed. Then Pegusus takes the difference.  The surroundings get a little darker and a cloud appears over Pegusus and it starts to spin.

"Yami look!" Bakura shrieks. "There may be a way to win."

"I see it!" he yells back at Bakura before he lays a magic card on the field ending his turn.

Does pharaoh Yugi have a plan or is this the end of the heroes? Will eagle be okay? And why did Pegusus bring them to Egypt, and why is he wearing that silly priest outfit.

Pegusus-{it's not silly it's dignified}

Me-Sorry it looks so funny though

Pegusus-{I'll make you sorry}

Me-What are you going to do? I'm the one writing this story. I'll delete you from it.

Pegusus-{…..okay you have a point but lay off my clothes}

Me-Fine know get back in the story.
