Ch 3 Pharaoh's Return
Death is not nearly as interesting as most people seem to think, it's also more painful then they realize. But then again nothing compares to the pain of coming back.
"I think he's dead," Yugi Sr. said as he checked the wanderer's pulse.
"D-dead?" the other two stuttered together.
"I don't feel a pulse" Yugi Sr. looked over at his son "you killed him"
"No" yugi Jr. said backing up slightly, then the puzzle around his neck began to glow brightly. Suddenly Yugi Jr. was a foot taller and his voice was far deeper when he said, "move"
"Pharaoh Atemu" yugi Sr. said as Yugi jr. brushed past him.
The eye of Horus appeared on the pharaoh's head as he stepped closer to the wanderer the puzzle glowed brighter and a stream of light shot out hitting the wanderer. Wanderer floated up into the air suspended there by the puzzle's powers, the other two watched on helplessly as more and more light pulsed around the Wanderer. Color started to return to his cheeks, when suddenly someone leapt down into the street.
"Prepare to have your soul stolen pharaoh!" the crazed guy said standing about five foot four inches weighing at most a hundred and fifty pounds. His hair splayed out in crazed directions with piercing brown eyes he stared at the pharaoh and activating his chaos duel disk he started towards Atemu.
Maddy was there between them activating her own duel disk "you want to duel Yugi you've got to go through me."
"What you don't even have a deck."
"Oh yeah" she looked back at the pharaoh, he tossed his duel disk to her and she caught it and transferring her cards out of the disk she handed it to Yugi.
"Fine let's duel!" the mystery man says. "Since I'm a gentleman I'll let you go first."
"Why thank you, now prepare to lose" Maddy made her draws hyper hammerhead, outstanding dog Marron, ninja grandmaster Sasuke, twin headed behemoth, chaos rider Gustaph, then she drew black luster ritual for her turn. "I summon one monster in face down defense position" maddy said as he places marron out on the field.
The weird man drew growled at his card and said, "I end my turn"
Maddy drew black luster soldier "that was a mistake" she said looking up "as I summon the most powerful monster in my deck by playing black luster ritual sacrificing my behemoth and hammerhead! To summon black luster soldier!"
Hyper hammerhead and twin headed behemoth appeared on the field to be suddenly burned away into smoke which coalesced into the black luster soldier. Then maddy summoned grandmaster ninja sasuke.
"I attack with both my monster!" black luster soldier jumped and slashed leaving a bloody trail against the guy's chest and slamming him to the floor. Before the guy could even get up sasuke hit him with kunai's. As he stood several of them stuck out of his chest.
"Good moves girl." he drew "but not good enough" he set the card out on the field "I end my turn"
"Please that was a shitty bluff" maddy said as she drew balloon lizard she set it in facedown defense mode "finish him off black luster soldier, sasuke attack!" black luster soldier leapt ahead and drove his sword through the guy's gut spraying blood onto the concrete around them and then Sasuke's kunai's hit him in the skull dropping his life points to zero.
"I lost no I can't afford to lose my master will not accept failure, duel!"
"Dude you already lost just accept it" Maddy said calm despite the man's desperate appearance.
"I said duel!"
"Fine whatever" she said sticking her deck back into the duel disk it reshuffled.
"I'll go first I set these two cards face down and end my turn"
"Fine" Maddy drew her cards divine wrath, Jinzo, monster reincarnation, shadow spell, chaos rider Gustaph, and then des koala for her turn. " I set one monster in face down defense position and I set these two cards, better watch out this cards a trap" she said mockingly as she set des koala, shadow spell and divine wrath on the field.
"Is that right?" he said as he drew "well too bad this duels about to get a whole lot more deadly, I activate the seal of Orichalcos!" the seal appeared around the two of them sending Yugi Sr. flying as he tried to reach Maddy.
"No it was supposed to just become a card game!" he yelled as the seal locked them in.
"Yes and you where wrong big deal get used to it" the guy said. "Now it's your turn miss."
"I recognize this, I was told about it I'll just have to beat you quick." Maddy said as she drew outstanding dog Marron and set him on the field. "Your turn"
The guy drew and slapped a monster in face down defense position "Grr your turn"
Maddy drew rare metal morph and set it on the field "say hello to my favorite monster Jinzo!" she sacrificed outstanding dog Marron to summon him. "Jinzo destroy that face down card!"
"You destroyed my trap master which means I get to destroy one of your facedown trap cards!" shadow spell flipped up and shattered.
"A wasted effort as I can't use any trap's as long as my Jinzo's on the field but then again neither can you. And it's your turn now"
"I know that" he said as he drew he set the card on the field "go"
"Alright" Maddy drew exiled force. "Now then hope your ready to lose some life points, I summon chaos rider Gustaph in attack mode, flipping up my des koala I cause 1600 life points of damage. Now Jinzo attack with cyber shock!" Jinzo powered up a glowing ball appeared in its hand it launched it at Maddy's opponent driving him to the floor as skin crackled and burnt. "Now Gustaph, des koala attack his life points directly!" Chaos rider Gustaph ran the guy over before her got up then des koala jumped up and fell landing on him." his life points plummeted from Maddy's turn all the way down to 1600 life points. "Your turn buddy"
"Crap not good not good at all" he drew "yes I summon rogue doll and it's attack is raised to 2100 by the seal destroy her des koala my rogue!" the rogue doll pointed it's staff at des koala and let loose a bolt of energy frying the koala where it stood and dropping Maddy's life points to 7000. "Your move"
"Wow that was dumb" Maddy said as she drew "Jinzo destroy his doll!" Jinzo powered up and blasted rogue doll sending chunks of the creature all over the place and dropping her opponent's life points to 1300. "Now end this my rider run him down!"
The guy looked and turn he started running, bouncing off the orichalcos he slide back the rider who did a wheelie and dropped his front tire on the guy's head dropping his life points to zero. The seal began shrinking moving closer and closer to him he screamed as it closed around him and then lay very, very still as his soul was taken from his body.
"Man what was he thinking he sucked badly" Maddy said to Yugi Sr. they both looked back and noticed the light around the wanderer fading and he gently was placed on his feet.
Wanderer stood and stretched and looked at them the holes in his chest and other wounds all healed up. He ignored them all and walked over to Maddy's opponent he pulled out a huge deck easily containing 120 cards.
"This is why you won so easily" he say's as he handed her the deck "way too many high powered sacrifice monsters. Now then since Atemu has returned, and thanks by the way wasn't sure I'd be able to heal those wounds, we need to discuss something's. Namely just how bad the time rip was when you came through it? I also suggest you call an ambulance for this man and you get the whole gang together looks like we're going to need all the help we can get at this point."
The wanderer walked back into Yugi's game shop and sat down he leafed through his deck and checked out all the cards they had some of which he'd never seen before.
"Might want to stock up before we go anywhere," he said to himself, while the two Yugi's having confronted each other outside.
"Pharaoh"
"Yugi"
"I beat you once I can do it again"
"I doubt it your son's deck is far more powerful then yours ever was."
"Maybe but that doesn't mean anything"
"His heart is just as strong as yours as well"
"What the hell are you two talking about?" Maddy suddenly interrupted.
"Nothing at all Maddy, just the pharaoh isn't exactly good"
"I'm not evil either."
"For now as long as you aren't trying to do anything I'll leave you alone"
"It's your son's decision anyways," Yugi Jr. said as he started to shrink down to normal size. "Hey dad what was that about?"
"Remind me to explain it to you another time" yugi Sr. said as he turned around and walked into the game shop-watching wanderer closely as he looked at the various cards "what're you doing?"
"Checking I know how a lot of cards work but most universes have a card or two that doesn't exist in any other." Wanderer pointed to one card behind a glass case like that one. "Archfiend of Madness."
"Yes a very powerful card very rare it's worth a thousand dollars"
"I know I also know you won't give it up for that price either"
"How did you know?"
"It says right here given to me by my grandfather when he died, but I've got to ask why'd he give you this card?"
"Not sure he said it might help save the world someday it was the weirdest gift I'd ever received from him."
"It might just help save the world you should add it to your deck if your coming with me"
"I don't know with Tea being pregnant and all."
"I know it's cool if you don't want to I'll give you time to decide"
"He doesn't have to he's going"
"Tea? Are you sure?"
"Yes go save the world"
Then Maddy and Yugi Jr. finally walked in "mother?"
"Mrs. Motou?"
I watched and hoped that things weren't going to suddenly get very, very bad. It'd been a long time since I'd delivered a baby in any universe and a stress reaction is bad.
