L. Memories of the Sea
The gang arrived at Kaibacorp. where Yugi or should I say the pharaoh duelled Kaiba for the first time in his Kaiba system. Nothing has changed as they went in except for the dark mist all over the place. Yugi on the other hand was wondering all over since he still can't remember himself except his own life and a few friends.
"So how are we gonna find a memory crystal heh?" Jounouchi asked as they continued walking
"Dunno" Malik replied
They keep looking from Kaiba's virtual system to his conference room then his computer room and all sorts. Finally, they arrived at Kaiba's office and the CEO walked to his desk
"I'll run the security system and see if there's any object in here and I hope it still works after that mishap" Kaiba grunted and he sat down to his desk and began typing while the othere waited patiently. Atemu kept a close eye on his hikari because ever since he lost his memories, he tends to roam around.
"Hmmm...what the?" Kaiba wondered as he glanced down to his cabinet. Everyone stared and wondered what's going on as he opened his cabinet and found a crystal on it
"Well what do you know... there's a memory crystal in my own cabinet" Kaiba smirked and handed it immediately to Yugi who took it from his hand and like the rest of the memory crystals he saw, it disappared and another part of his memories was coming back to him
Flashback: After Kaiba hurt his grandpa, he decides to duel him so he and his friends went to the Kaiba Corporation. By the time they got there, his grandpa was hurt pretty bad. Anzu made a friendship mark on top of their hands with Honda and Jounouchi wishing him good luck. The Millennium Puzzle activates and the one who called 'Yami' took over his body and beat Kaiba's butt.
"K-k-kaiba S-s-seto...rival?" Yugi said, wondering and stared at Kaiba who smirks
"Glad you remembered" Kaiba said
"What now?" Kristine asked
"...Domino Pier..." Atemu said
"Huh?" Bakura wondered
"Let's just go there" Atemu said, getting annoyed and so they left Kaibacorp. Little did they know that Dark Nite was watching and was surprised that Yugi was alive
"I can't believe that 'reincarnated pharaoh' was alive but there's something odd from him" Dark Nite said crossly and decided to follow him
- - -
At Domino Pier, as usual the dark mist was getting foggy but that didn't stop them from searching the memory crystals and they didn't know that they were followed by someone. They wondered where the memory crystal is and as for the pharaoh he went in the boat...the same boat that all of them went in Duelist Kingdom.
"Some things don't change" Atemu smiled then his crimson eyes fell on a particular object. It was another memory crystal but suddenly he sensed something... something very familiar...
"I never thoughtI would bealive like this" said a familiar voice and everyone stared angrily. Atemu went down and sawNite Marein the flesh and the others were staring angrily and Yugi was afraid so he rushed at the young pharaoh's side shivering in fear
"Aren't you ...Dark Nite?" Kaiba asked coldly and Nite Mare smirks
"Well...I was but ever since I got the reincarnated pharaoh's powers or in layman's terms a soul... I gain a new body" Nite Mare smirked and everyone wasn't pleased
"What do you want?" Atemu growled and Yugi hid himself behind him
"Nothing and just to tell you...even though he'll recover his memories... he'll suffer anyway and by the time he gets the last memory crystal... it'll be too late hhahahahah" Nite Mare laughed and he vanished
"Bastard" Jounouchi growled angrily while Atemu gave Yugi another memory crystal but this time he refused
"What's wrong?" Atemu asked
"What did he mean that 'I'll suffer'? I don't understand" Yugi said worriedly. "And that crystal... will it be my...death?"
"...No...I don't believe that nonsense and... it's the only way you get your memories back" Atemu said trying to assuring him that it's safe
"Really?" Yugi asked and Atemu nods
"Oh brother... he acts like a little kid" Kaiba said, getting annoyed
"Zip it, Kaiba it's not his fault that he lost his memory to who-knows-where" Atemu said glaring at him
"Whatever" Kaiba said and Atemu gave Yugi his third memory crystal and like the others it disappeared and flashbcks of memories rained down on him
Flashback: Pegasus took Yugi's grandpa and said that he was invited to Duelist Kingdom. He and his other self battled and duelled a lot of duelists to earn starchips even Mai and Jounouchi. Also, there was Ryou's yami spirit ...Bakura who trapped them in the Dark Game which he finally learned that there's someone living inside his mind. After all of these, they were now closer than before and they gave Jounouchi the prize money plus saving the Kaiba brothers from Pegasus.
"Mou hitori nou boku...Mai" Yugi muttered as the color of his eyes began to restore a little
"...Yugi... do you remember who I am?" Atemu asked curiously
"...I...I... remember... oh my god I can't believe I forgotten you" Yugi said , tears welled in his eyes as he hugged the one whom he called his own partner. Everyone was a bit touched except Kaiba who were glad that Yugi remembered his only partner in life and heart even Mai
"At least he remembers his friends now right?" Mai chuckles
"Not entirely" Kristine sighed
- - -
"Now what?" Malik asked as they were wandering around the city with no sign of any living thing
"If my memory is correct, we should be able to find a memory crystal in Domino Square" Jounouchi said with assurance
"Oh yeah right puppy dog" Kaiba said, insulting Jounouchi
"Grrr.. don't call me that" Jounouchi said angrily while the rest of the gang laughed
"Jounouch, I never knew you were called 'that" Mai laughed
"Shut up, Mai" Jounouchi pouted
"Hmmm... " Yugi wondered
"Penny for your thoughts?" Atemu asked
"Nothing" Yugi replied with assurance then they saw something bright at the cafe table.
"Is that what I think it is?" Malik asked as he came nearer
"It is.. another one although I have a feeling that I know what's inside that memory crystal" Jounouchi said and his face turned to Malik who didn't want to talk about it.
"Should I?" Yugi asked and the pharaoh nods so with one touch of his finger another flashbacks began to flood over his mind
Flashback: Kaiba hosted the Battle City tournament to get the legendary divine cards: Osiris the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor and the Winged Dragon of Ra plus luring all the Rare Hunters also known as Ghouls in addition, proving Yugi who's the best duelist. Malik Ishtar, head of the Ghouls,used the power of the Millennium Rod to eliminate his partner who was actually the sealed pharaoh of the Millennium Puzzle and even used Jounouchi to force him in a death duel but despite of this, he was able to save him but that isn't the case. Both the pharaoh and Yugi have to endure a lot of sufferring including when Malik's yami came and send his opponents to the Shadow Realm. But nevertheless, they won and before they knew it they have all 3 legendary God cards despite of Kaiba's lost.
"Well?" Mai asked curiously
"...Malik yes I remember him but it's all in the past despite of Kaiba's enigmatic losing streak" Yugi smirked while Kaiba has that I-don't-want- to- talk- about- look then he turns to the pharaoh
"Suffering is part of our life... I understand that sometimes it's injustice to see it" he added
"Okay enough chitchat we got a lot of recovery to do" Kaiba said as and they walked along
