Ch 2 Son's Revenge

I realized my folly and how much damage that'd been done to that universe as I looked on the two of them. People not of the same time I was currently in I could tell as the boy looked upon his dad.

"Dad is that you?" the words rang in the air.

"What?" it was obvious to all of them there that they were related but he was taken aback the two couldn't be more then three years apart. "You look like me"

"What is going on here?" the younger Yugi's companion said, she was barely older then him features of her parents obvious in her pretty face. "Who are you?"

"Crap" he said as he looked over them, Yugi, then the boy who looked so much like his obvious father, the same hairstyle except his hair was brown where his father's was blonde. The puzzle around his neck was instantly familiar, and yugi openly gaped at it. Next to him was a beautiful young girl, her blonde locks and features instantly told him her parentage was Joey and Mai. "This isn't good at all"

"Explain what's going on since you seem to know," She said to me her blue eyes having a hard tint to them.

"Not really" he looked over at his wife standing five feet from them, but none of the others could see her. "What is going on?"

"Near as I can tell your arrival did serious damage to this reality now you'll have to gather the items all of them to fix this timeline." she said consulting a tablet.

"That's just great you know that time's coming undone is that what your saying?" he was staring at his wife but his words out loud were digested by everyone there.

"Yes it will eventually come apart completely if you don't do anything." she said an even sadder expression then before appeared on her face.

"Great so we need the Millenium items to fix this problem?"

"Yes" the woman said.

"Oh just great" he grumbled and the other three looked at him, he just shook his head "Nothing forget it."

"I think he's crazy," the young woman said to the yugi look alike.

"You think I'm crazy that's great just great" the Wanderer looked at the two of them. "Alright I'll prove I'm not crazy but I'll need to duel you puzzle boy."

"Done" he said activating his duel disk a very different looking version sleeker more stylish then the others.

"Wait!" the young woman said she whispered in his ear and he nodded they traded decks.

"See I know you just beat my dad and so you must have something to battle dark magician decks so I'll use my girlfriends all effect deck."

"All effect deck?" Wanderer asked a weird expression on his face.

"You'll see" the younger looking version of yugi said. "It's time to duel!"

The duel disks cut the decks then shuffled them, they both drew five cards Wanderer looked at his hand, roulette barrel, penguin soldier, disk fighter, and black illusion ritual.

"So tell me what is your name?" Wanderer asked as he drew soul exchange. Then he stuck roulette barrel in face down defense position.

"It's Yugi Motou junior what is yours?" Yugi Jr. said as Wanderer ended his turn.

"My name is irrelevant you may call me the wanderer and it's your turn."

"Thanks" Yugi Jr. said and summoned Jirai Gumo. "Your turn"

"Hmm" Wanderer drew bait doll and set his penguin soldier in face down defense position and bait doll on the field "your move"

"C'mon Yugi trounce this chump" The blonde cheered.

"That's not nice Maddy." Yugi admonished Maddy as he drew.

"So your names Maddy? Makes sense it's obvious from the way you look your Mai and Joey's daughter." Wanderer remarked eyeing her.

"Joey? My dad's name is Joseph."

"Is that right? Doesn't shorten it anymore guess he grew up some."

"Will you two quite fighting we're in the middle of a duel" Yugi Jr. said as he set a monster in face down defense position. "I end my turn."

"Alright very soon now I'll reveal how I'll show you I'm not crazy." Wanderer said as he drew berserk gorilla.

Looking at his hand he summoned disc fighter and flip summoned his penguin soldier the monster pointed its sword at Jirai Gumo and at itself sending both to their hands. Disc fighter attacked and his disc spun out slicing apart the face down sacred crane sending blood and feathers in every direction. Yugi drew and set another monster face down in defense his face an unreadable mask. Wanderer drew scapegoat and quickly set it, before summoning berserk gorilla.

"Attack my gorilla destroy his face down card!" the berserk gorilla attacked his fists slamming down and destroying the hiding Chaosrider Gustaph destroying him utterly sending busted pieces of bike everywhere and breaking bones, ripping flesh and spraying blood everywhere. The gorilla gnawed on a bone as it went back to wanderer's side of the field. Then he attacked Yugi Jr.'s life points directly with disc fighter his disc spinning out and cutting a gash in Yugi's chest.

"First blood now using the power of your own puzzle against you I'll drag us all to the shadow realm!"

"No don't!" Yugi Sr. yelled, but it was too late the world flowed black around them and he knew they where in the shadow realm.

"Don't worry there's nothing at stake in this game nothing at all." the Wanderer said as he ended his turn "I'm merely testing your boy and proving I'm not insane."

Suddenly off to the side a form started to shimmer and coalesce she stood about five foot six inches with beautiful blonde hair and an aura of goodness that shined even in that dark place.

"My love" they both said to each other at the same time she leapt into his arms and they kissed as yugi drew.

"I summon my Jirai Gumo back in attack mode and set these two cards down and now I end my turn!" Yugi Jr. said loud enough to break through to the pair as they kissed.

"Huh? Oh yes I'm dueling" wanderer muttered saddened as he broke the kiss he turned back to yugi Jr. he drew obnoxious Celtic guardian and set him in facedown defense position. "I activate bait doll!"

"Well I activate judgment of Anubis" Yugi Jr. said pressing a button on his duel disk the card flipped up and negated bait doll. "I'll choose your disc fighter." disc fighter was drawn to the Anubis altar and was shredded by it 1000 pts of damage done to Wanderer's life points putting them both down to 7000.

"Damn it, I'll shift berserk gorilla into defense mode destroying him." Wanderer finished his turn as his gorilla ripped itself apart.

"Now love please begin explaining what's going on" Wanderer said turning to her "oh and I end my turn yugi."

"You should tell it"

"Can't dueling"

"Please miss can you really explain what's going on?" Maddy asked looking to the woman as she moved towards Maddy and Yugi Sr.

"Yes I can but not just yet I want to see how this goes for a minute"

"Alright."

Yugi Jr. drew and set one monster in face down defense position and set another card. Wanderer drew staying just as focused and now deathly quiet as Yugi Jr. had become, he looked at the card spear dragon he summoned it and attacked the spear plunged through the face down spear cretin and into yugi Jr. damaging his life points by 1400, dropping him to 5600, The wound bleed freely the spear dragon's spear like snout having went through him. Yugi brought back his sacred crane drawing a new card and Wanderer got back disc fighter.

"My turns over your turn Yugi"

Yugi nodded and drawing he summoned hyper hammerhead then ended his turn.

Wanderer nodded back he drew emblem of dragon destroyer and flipped up his roulette barrel he activated it's effect a barrel appeared with the number's 1-6 in a different section it spun landing first on a six then on a five neither of which existed on the field. Wanderer switched spear dragon back to attack mode and attacked Yugi's sacred crane the snout punching through the crane's body he lifted his head tossing it then swallowed the crane whole as it fell back down. As the spear dragon shifted to defense position blood dripped from it's snout the life point counter on Yugi's side counted off the 300 damage he'd taken bringing him down to 5300.

"Okay while there dueling I'll try to explain although I really don't know where to begin." the Wanderer's wife said.

"Why not at the beginning?" Yugi Sr. asked looking at her she just shook her head "why not?

"Sorry that'd take too long, alright well here goes, there is an infinite number of infinite dimensions. We're from a very different universe and for my husband to move on to the next one he has to complete a task in each."

Yugi Jr. drew, set one card and attacked spear dragon with hyper hammer head killing him the hyper hammer heads teeth and claws rending the dragons wings apart. Wanderer drew Yami then activated it and set des feral imp in face down defense mode and shifted his roulette barrel in defense mode as well then ended his turn. Yugi drew and sacrificed his Jirai Gumo for dark ruler ha des. Wanderer drew robbin goblin and set it on the field. Yugi attacked obnoxious celtic guardian with dark ruler ha des the fiend's claws negating the guardian's effect as it sliced him apart. Then hyper hammerhead leapt forward and bites off the disc fighter's skull. Yugi ended his turn and Wanderer drew card destruction then activated it he drew three new cards mask of darkness, soul tiger and united we stand. Wanderer set soul tiger on the field before ending his turn he looked over to see his wife explaining.

"That's right we can't be sure he'll ever make it home but we both hope he will."

"How come only he can see you?"

"We're connected by our love and this machine he built to monitor as you move to another universe it was supposed to be simple exploration but something went out of control."

"Then how can we see and hear you now?"

"The magical power of the millennium items and the shadow realm he tried to get home using their power once"

"Just once?"

"It didn't exactly end that well and he learned not to do that again. There was twenty millennium items in that world each more powerful then the last when he activated them all it vaporized that world. It wasn't that pleasant to watch even worse to feel. His jumps from universe to universe aren't pleasant either but they vary from gut wrenching to the feeling of being pulled apart at an atomic level."

Yugi drew and activated mystical space typhoon destroying robbin goblin then he summoned Zolga the creature appeared its cape fluttering as if in a breeze. Dark ruler ha des rips des feral imp to shreds negating it's effect as it does so black imp blood drips from his claws into his cup and he drinks it. Hyper hammerhead attacks soul tiger smashing his head against it as he's tossed back Yugi's life points drop another 600 points to 4,700. As Yugi ends his turn soul tiger explodes into nothingness, Wanderer draws and activates his swords of revealing light then sets his mask of darkness. Yugi drew and summoned Granmarg the rock monarch sacrificing Zolga adding 2000 life points to Yugi's score bringing him up to 6,700. Granmarg's ability destroys the face down penguin soldier the monster crushed instantly by boulders heralding Granmarg's arrival. Yugi then activates spirit barrier and ends his turn. Wanderer drew blindly loyal goblin and summoned him onto the field in attack position the goblin appeared on the field sword held in one hand Wanderer then ended his turn. Yugi drew and put the card face down on the field it appeared behind his monsters, then he ended his turn.

"So he beat me because he knows my deck inside and out?" Yugi asked checking his deck looking it over and wondering what happened.

"Just about however he's already lost this duel," she said pointing out the truth as Granmarg appeared.

"How can you tell?" Yugi asked glancing from her to the field.

"He isn't trying to win merely give me enough time to explain besides this is a shadow duel if he wins who knows what could happen to your son."

"But you're not worried about him at all?" Maddy asked not turning her eyes from the duel.

"Not really the rules don't usually apply to him since he's not from this universe, even the seal of Orichalcos doesn't work on him."

"How do you know?"

"It's how he got the deck and duel disk he has now."

"You mean there's someone else with the Orichalcos?" yugi asked looking at the duel disk again.

"Apparently whoever it is will most likely become a problem as for now let's just watch this I've told you all I can."

Wanderer drew Yomi ship and set it in face down defense position. Yugi drew and turned it back over to Wanderer he drew robbin zombie setting it he flipped up mask of darkness and getting back robbin goblin before flipping up yomi ship. He added united we stand to blindly loyal goblin bringing his attack up to 4250 and attacked dark ruler ha des, activating Yugi's Sakretsu armor which surrounded dark ruler ha des and as blindly loyal goblin's sword hit the armor he splattered against it his sword shattering and his skin melting away flaying him to his bones then they turned to dust and floated away leaving nothing left of him.

"Damn, I end my turn" wanderer shook his head disgusted at his mistake.

Yugi drew and set a monster in face down defense position, Yugi attacked again dark ruler ha des jumped across the field slashing apart mask of darkness with his claws again he let the blood from his claws fill his cup before drinking it. Granmarg smashed yomi ship flat as he did a portal to the nether world opened up and sucked him into the graveyard as well. Wanderer drew magic jammer and set it on the field then turned it back over to yugi Jr., yugi Jr. drew his card and ended his turn. Wanderer drew Riryoku field and set it on the field, yugi Jr. drew then activated pharaoh's treasure reshuffling it face up into his deck. Yugi Jr. flipped up his face down des koala and his grandmaster ninja Sasuke before sacrificing his des koala and hyper hammerhead to summon barrel dragon.

"Barrel dragon?" Wanderer looked over at Maddy "your father let you have that in your deck?"

"Well he didn't till I beat him"

"Huh"

"Attack Wanderer's life points directly my monster!"

"I don't' think so I activate scapegoat!"

The four sheep tokens appeared one was suddenly blasted apart by the barrels of the barrel dragon, the one next to it was shredded by ha des' claws and the one next to it was destroyed by shuriken from Sasuke.

"I'll activate barrel dragon's special effect." the coins appeared and flipped tails, tails, tails. "Guess my lucks not that good it's your turn"

"Or that my lucks really good" Wanderer drew trap hole and set it.

"Maybe" Yugi Jr. drew "your turn."

Wanderer drew battle footballer and set it face down in defense mode, Yugi Jr. drew and set a monster facedown in defense position then attacked battle footballer with dark ruler ha des. The fiend shredded the footballer sending parts everywhere then made a face as oil filled his glass but drank it anyways. Wanderer drew Gagagigo and summoned him in attack mode activating robbin zombie and robbin goblin he attacks; yugi Jr. activates his shadow spell stopping the reptile in his tracks.

Yugi draws and activates needle wall the wall smashes a slot but nothing's there. "I hate to do this especially since this is a shadow game but I'm ending this right now."

"Don't worry about it" he looks over at his wife "you told them everything you think is relevant right?"

"Yes I love you "

"I love you too," looking over at Yugi Jr. "go ahead yugi end it"

Yugi nodded to wanderer and then to his wife and sacrificing balloon lizard and ninja grandmaster sasuke he summoned fusilier the multimode beast. Suddenly the ground fell out from under it and it disappeared into the trap hole.

"Just cause I've lost doesn't mean I won't try to win."

"Wouldn't expect anything less." Yugi Jr. special summons Gigantes by removing balloon lizard from his graveyard.

Barrel dragon's effect activates the three coins flipping heads, heads, and heads. Gagagigo was blasted apart by the dragon's barrage spraying lizard guts along the floor. Gigantes attacks and destroys the last scapegoat then barrel dragon blasts wanderer leaving holes in him, then dark ruler ha des growls and lunges driving his claws into wanderer and slices him again and again each slash causing wanderer to grunt in pain. Finally dark ruler ha des stops and begins drinking wanderer's blood, wanderer slumps to the floor as his life points reach zero blood pools around him as the shadow realm slowly gives way to the normal street they had been on. Wanderer's wife slowly faded as the shadow realm does but the wounds on wanderer didn't fade as the duel ended.

He lay very still as they all approached him and Yugi Sr. touched his neck "I think he's dead."

I could not attack the boy directly not with the chance that the duel would kill one of us but her deck in his hands was impressive to say the least. As the final blow fell I wondered could even I be killed by dark ruler ha des?
