Chapter 10:
The Miracle Boy
Yami and Hideko exited the portal with him holding Tokoro and ended up in another forest. "Now where are we?" Yami asked. He held his son close feeling the wind in his hair. His son was sleeping on his shoulder sucking his thumb.
Father, I must warn you, a voice said from the boy's mind. Yami jumped as he saw an image of the Shining Angel beside the boy. "What do you mean?" Yami asked.
Alexander may be gone for now, but he'll be back, the Angel said. "I hope you're wrong," Yami said. He looked around only seeing his girlfriend beside him. "Where's Joey and Yugi?" he asked.
"They were right behind us not long ago," Hideko said.
They went down into the forest trying to find their friends. Later, they split up with Tokoro in Yami's arms. "Yami!" a voice called. Yami turned seeing Yugi run to him. "Yugi! Where were you?" Yami asked.
"Waiting for you!" Yugi said. "Where's Hideko?"
"She's looking for Joey," Yami said. "Come on! I know where he is," Yugi said running off. Yami followed unaware of the smirk on Yugi's face.
They ran to a lake very far from the forest. "Yugi…are you sure Joey's here?" Yami asked. "Of course!" Yugi smiled.
Yami got closer to the lake. "Well, where is he?"
"Right here!" Yugi cried shoving his friend in the water. Yami yelped as he fell in the water with the boy in his arms. He started to drift underwater unaware that he had let his son go and drift as well. The boy glowed and turned into the Shining Angel and he took his father in his arms and flew to the surface, his wings glowing in the sun.
"What!" Yugi shouted. "How dare you, Yugi!" the Angel cried. "You tried to hurt my father!"
The Angel set the older man down and placed a hand over his chest. "Rest now, father," he whispered. "You forget, foolish one, about your dear mother!" Yugi smirked.
"What?"
Then Joey came out holding a squirming Hideko. "Let me go!"
"Mother!" The Angel cried.
"Come with us, boy," Yugi smirked. "Our master is waiting."
"Never!" The Angel cried aiming his arrow at Yugi. "Let my mother go!"
"So be it…" Yugi smirked winking at something nearby. A monster that looked like and elf jumped out from the bushes ready to strike Hideko or the Angel at any time. "Celtic Guardian!" the Angel cried.
"Join us, or die by his blade!" Yugi shouted. "Never!" The Angel cried aiming his arrow on the monster. "Holy Strike!" he cried firing the arrow at the elf monster, but the guardian deflected it with his sword.
"No way!" Angel cried. "You see, fool, our monsters can't be destroyed by your powers!" Yugi laughed.
"No!"
"Joey, if you will?" Yugi smiled.
"My pleasure! Red Eyes! Fry him!" Joey cried still holding Hideko.
The dragon flew in the air and fired a ball of fire towards him.
"Tokoro!" Hideko cried.
Suddenly someone stood in front of him taking the hit. "What!" Angel cried. "Black Luster Solider!"
The monster used its shield to block the attack. "Leave my son alone!" a voice called.
"Father!" Angel cried. "Yami!" Hideko cried trying to get out of Joey's grip.
"You wouldn't let me out of the party, would you?" Yami smirked.
"Very well then, Pharaoh! Prepare for certain death!" Yugi snarled.
