AN: Hi everyone. Thanks for the reviews, follows and favorites. I'm glad you all like this story. I really love Wakfu and anything related to it. When I first heard of it I never really got into it. I just thought it was some weird French kid show. That's until my brother made me binge watch the first season on Netflix. And boy was I instantly hooked! It's sad that there's such a small Fandom for it. It really deserves more and I hope season 4 comes out eventually. Anyways I'm glad some of you left reviews. If you have questions, suggestions or just general feedback leave them in a review. Oh, to Jaguarian76. I've heard about the Wakfu Manga and there's some English translated ones. I'll try and look for some. Thanks for the heads up. I'm still undecided on pairings for my boy Yugo. Like I said, tell me what you guys want. Until then I'm just put some moments here and there. If haven't guessed from the last chapter. This Yugo is quite a talker when he wants to be. He isn't the same Yugo from the shows. Remember he's not little kid. Don't worry on occasion he'll still be the same Yugo we know. More so now than ever because he lost his memories. One more thing. I'm just gonna go on a limb and think you all know who everyone looks like. So I don't go too over in detail. Cool? Anyways I've taken enough of your time… ON WITH THE CHAPTER! Enjoy!
"Guess I should rest for now. Hopefully I can remember something later."
Yugo sighed as he looked up at the ceiling. His head filled with many questions and no answers. While his heart was heavy. Why did it hurt so much that he felt so alone?
With no answers Yugo closed his eyes and let the darkness overtake him.
He only hoped that he could remember something soon. Unfortunately for him he wouldn't be able to recall anything from his life anytime soon. No, not until that faithful day. The day where his greatest journey begins.
A Few Years Later
It was a beautiful morning in Emelka. The Tofus were out and the sun was shining. Many of the villagers were already up starting their daily routine. Our sights land on a particular house/restaurant. Where a familiar shovel was hung up out on the front door.
A light boom was heard and a plume of smoke shot out of the smokestack. Coughing and a groan could be heard coming from the home.
"Ah not again!"
Another soft boom shook through the house. In a room upstairs a very familiar person was sleeping on his bed and under some covers. While a small yellow Tofu slept peacefully on top of him. That is until another boom woke it up.
"Yugo! Yugo!"
That's when the covers were suddenly pushed away and the poor little Tofu landed on the floor confused. Thankfully it moved out of the way in time to miss two feet from landing on top of it.
"Coming!"
A door was heard opening and a certain someone came running down the stairs. Smoke could be seen and smelled that person made it down stairs.
"What is it?"
Our hero, Yugo hasn't really changed these past few years. Physically anyways. His attire has changed quite a bit. His poncho was gone along with his face mask. His pants were now a darker shade of blue but his other clothes remained the same. His signature hat included.
Coughing a bit Yugo swiped away as much smoke as he could.
"Master?"
Yugo decided to head off to where the smoke was coming from. The little Tofu close behind hopping down the steps. Finally Yugo arrived in the kitchen and the Tofu close behind. He saw his teacher and friend Alibert trying to bake some bread.
Key word, trying.
Alibert hadn't change much. The large Enutrof took a bite out of the burnt bread. He immediately recoiled and coughed it out in disgust.
"Master, baking bread? Really? Thought last week's fire would be enough to make you stop experimenting." Yugo said with a smile and chuckle. "Man. The fun never ends around here."
"It's not funny Yugo." Alibert bitterly said as he collected all the burnt bread and threw them away. "Now, go to Jason's and get five loaves. And be quick, we got some Gobball Stew to prepare. When the sun shines bright…"
"When the sun shines bright, the guests are in sight." Yugo finished with a smile. "Yeah I know. I'll be right back master. Come on Az! Last one there is a Bwork!"
Running out the door with a big smile Yugo went to what he was told. His feathery friend close behind. Alibert smiled and chuckled as he saw his apprentice leave.
"Such a good lad."
As Yugo was running he couldn't help but smile some more. Today was such a beautiful day. One of the best parts for living in Emelka. It's been years since that faithful day when he was found by his teacher Alibert and his friend Mia's dad. Since then his life has been good.
He had friends, a good job and a content life.
But sometimes he felt like something was missing. He often wondered who he was before he forgot. It was strange. One minute he was content with his new life then the next he felt like leaving to do something important. Like… he had to look for something.
Or maybe someone.
It kept him up at night at times. What also bothered him was that mysterious Iop woman he remembered. When he thought of her he felt happy, and sad at the same time. Who was she? Why did she feel so important to him?
"Hey Yugo!"
Suddenly Yugo stopped thinking and running. He looked up ahead and saw his friend Mia waking towards him. In her hands she was carrying a bag filled with something. As he looked closer he was surprised to see it was some loaves of bread.
"Mia! Good morning!" Yugo greeted with a wave and smile.
Mia The Baker Girl as he liked to call her. Was probably his best friend in this whole village. Sure he had other friends. But something was different about Mia. Maybe it was because she was the first one he saw when he woke up? Maybe it was because she accidentally helped him remember something from his past. Either way Yugo was happy to have her around.
"Good morning, me and my dad saw the smoke and thought it could only be one thing. Alibert should really stick to cooking and not baking." Mia said with a giggle. She then handed the bag of bread to Yugo. "Here you go Yugo. Try and make sure Alibert doesn't burn the whole village down."
"Wow! Thank you Mia you're a lifesaver! I owe you big time." Yugo kept smiling. While not noticing the small blush on her face. "Stop by and I'll give you some of our Gobball Stew."
The baker girl just smiled and nodded. Before anything else could be said. Az came flying in between both Yugo and Mia. Clearly angry that he was left behind.
"Oh! Sorry buddy." Yugo sheepishly apologized as Az chirped angrily at him.
Az, a small Tofu who was Yugo's pet. Though he preferred friend if anything. Az was a strange Tofu. Especially considering how Yugo got him. Alibert was coming back from a trip to Kelba and he had Az with him. There was also this feeling Yugo got from Az that felt kind of familiar. He couldn't put his finger on it.
Alibert never really told him how he found him. Which was suspicious. But Yugo didn't care. He was happy to have met Az. The two of them are so close. It was hard for Yugo to imagine life without the little guy.
"Okay buddy I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I promise."
Az still looked annoyed but eventually chirped and landed on Yugo's shoulder.
Mia couldn't help but giggle at the scene before her.
"You and that Tofu Yugo." Mia said still smiling. "I better head back before my dad starts to worry. I'll stop by later. Bye Yugo, you too Az!"
With a wave Mia left and headed back home. Yugo gave a wave goodbye and smiled. Az chirped away and waved his tiny wing.
"Well Az, we should head back. If you behave you'll get a piece of this bread later."
Yugo then ran off home with a happy Az close behind.
Home.
At first it felt strange for him to ever think of a place as such. Especially a wholesome village like Emelka. He often wonder why? Still, he was glad to call it home. This place had become special to him. Along with the people. Alibert and everyone.
Alibert was a good man. Since the day Yugo woke up without a single memory of his past. He was there for him. The first couple of days he helped Mia nurse him back to health. When he was healed and had no where to go. Alibert took him in just like that. Even gave him a job.
Many thought Alibert was crazy for going so far to help a total stranger. He simply said it was something anyone would do. After his trip to Kelba, Alibert had only gotten more closer to Yugo. One would think they were like father and son.
Sometimes Yugo considered him like his father. While having no memory of his past. Yugo felt like he never really had a father. Maybe a mother. But that's it. Alibert was his teacher and the closest thing he had to a father. And he was proud of that.
As Yugo was getting close to home he noticed some kids playing in the field behind the restaurant. Alibert sometimes let the village kids play Gobbowl and other stuff in the back. Sometimes Yugo would join them.
The kids really liked Yugo. Many considered him like a big brother or fun uncle.
Anyways, Yugo watched the kids play and smiled. It was nice to see them having fun. Suddenly something strange began to happen. Yugo's head began to hurt a little. That's when he realized what was happening. He was remembering something!
Not like a full memory. This was something like a brief image. Like when he saw that Iop woman.
Speaking of which… that's who Yugo started to see. He saw that woman happily smiling as she was waving at him. She wasn't alone either. Standing right next to her was a young boy, a Iop kid. He was also smiling and waving at him too. Yugo couldn't understand why… these two felt special to him.
He saw the boy's lips moving. It looked like he was calling out to him.
"Yugo!"
That's when Yugo came back to reality. He saw a Gobbowl ball heading straight at his face! A normal person would have ducked or get hit. Not Yugo, it happened so fast he barely knew what happened.
His body moved on its own.
With a quick and steady hand Yugo caught the ball before it hit him. Only by a few inches. He didn't even drop the bag of bread.
Bewildered and shocked by what he just did. Yugo looked at the ball and then at Az who looked a bit shock as well.
"Hey Yugo! Nice catch! Can you throw it back?"
Yugo looked over and saw one of the village kids waving at him. Looks like while they were playing and the ball accidentally headed his way. Shaking off what he saw and just did. He smiled weakly and gently threw the ball back. Getting a toothy grin from the kid.
"Thanks Yugo! Sorry about that! Come play with us later okay!"
Giving of a nod and a small wave. Yugo watched as the kid went off to join his friends. They all resumed playing after that. Leaving Yugo to think about what he saw and did.
It's been awhile since he remembered something like that. All he remembered was his name. That woman and now that kid. Why did he feel so close to them? Who were they? Who was he before? How was he able to do that? He's always been athletic and a bit strong. But what he did shocked him. His body moved before he even knew what was happening.
Looking down at his hand that caught the ball. Yugo could have sworn he saw something. It looked like a light glow.
But before Yugo could think more on the matter. Az caught his attention by pecking him on the head. Causing him to look at the Tofu who was chirping in worry.
"Sorry Az. Just thinking about something." Yugo apologized as he sighed. "Come on. Let's go back and get to work."
Yugo resumed his way back home. With Az flying close by. Later he'll think more about it later. He wished he could tell Alibert about it. He really did. Alibert was a like father to him. The man took him in and gave him a job. He owed him everything.
Yet he couldn't tell Alibert this. He's already done so much for him. Whatever his past was, good or bad. He'll figure it out eventually.
Luckily for Yugo. That was going to happen sooner than he expected.
An Hour Later
Business was booming for Alibert's restaurant. Turns out what he's always saying was right. The sun was bright and the guests were very much in sight. There could be a lot of reasons why business was so good. Maybe it was because many were young woman eating here only to get a chance to see Yugo.
It was no secret Yugo was a handsome young man. Who was currently not with anyone or married. Along with his mysterious past it was no surprise many had eyes on him. Emelka was a small village after all.
Another reason could be that Alibert was the mayor. Maybe because he and Yugo were such amazing cooks.
Or maybe because they were the only good restaurant for miles.
Whatever it was business was good. The guests were coming in and enjoying their meals. Today was going great. Alibert was out in the front taking orders and mingling with guests. While Yugo was in the back cooking. With Az close by siting on his head.
Yugo was an amazing cook. Even before Alibert took him as his apprentice. Both were surprised. It was like he's been doing it for years. He was a natural. Right now he was making the usual.
The Alibert Special.
Throwing a piece of meat on the grill while cooking some rice among other things. He was also cooking Gobball Stew. Usually some of the village kids would be bothering him to play with them. Thankfully he said he'd play with them later.
Taking a look at the stew Yugo smiled.
"Perfect."
That's when Yugo started to make the meals. Just by smelling them he getting hungry. Picking up some bread he broke a piece of and gave it to Az. Who happily ate it. Yugo then ate the last piece with a smile.
Not wanting to slack off Yugo sent the meals up front and went back to work. This went on for awhile when suddenly Alibert called out to him.
"Yugo! Add a plate of Gobball Stew for this poor Enutrof!"
A big smile showed up on Yugo's face. Ruel Stroud had came to visit.
"Sure thing Master!"
Yugo could hear the laughter from here. Looks like Alibert and Ruel were talking and joking around.
Ruel Stroud, now that's a name Yugo had come to know well. Ruel was an old bounty hunter with Alibert. Unlike Alibert, Ruel was a true Enutrof. Greedy and stingy. Not that wasn't a bad thing.
He and Yugo met a few years back when the old Enutrof came through. Both hit it off right away. Yugo liked to listen to Ruel's wild stories. Knowing many if not all were fake. It was still nice to hear. Ruel was happy that Yugo was naïve enough to listen to his stories and take them to heart. It was a welcome change.
Hearing Ruel's stories made Yugo yearn for adventure. While completely happy and content with his life here Emelka. The idea of adventure felt very appealing. It also for some reason made him feel sentimental. Even though he had no idea why.
"Watch out Az, things are gonna to heat up!"
Almost done with Ruel's meal. Yugo was quickly throwing ingredients, spices and salts in air while Az tried his best to dodge them. Unfortunately he wasn't quick enough when a onion of some kind hit him and set him falling into a bag of flour! The onion then hit a wobbly shelf that broke off and everything it was holding fell. Right onto of Az!
"Watch out!"
What happened next went in a blur. Yugo extended his hand out calling for Az when suddenly his palm glowed a blue hue. Just as all those glasses and jars were about to hit Az. A small blue portal of some kind appeared over Az and everything disappeared into the portal.
In shock Yugo backed up and tried to explain what he saw. He looked down at his hand and saw that it had a faint glow to it. Just like earlier.
"What was that?"
Yugo thought over what happened. Maybe he was the one who did it? Wanting to find out Yugo shot out his hand at the floor where strange blueish energy appeared from nowhere. Surprised but not deterred Yugo did it once more but this time focused a lot more.
Another portal appeared and all the jars and glasses that disappeared shot up into the air! Soon all crashed and broke onto the floor causing a loud noise. And a big mess.
"You okay Yugo?!" Alibert called out on front.
Not sure what to say Yugo just tried to play it off like nothing happened.
"Y-yeah, just fine!" Yugo yelled back as he got down to look at the mess he caused. "Sheesh. I better clean this up."
Doing just that Yugo picked up a the broken glass throwing them away in the trash. Then using a large rag to clean up the rest of the mess. It took a bit of time but better safe than sorry.
After cleaning up his mess Yugo looked down at his hands. What he did was incredible. It was something he's never seen before. Except it didn't feel like that. Somewhere deep down it felt like he's seen that before. Maybe even done it before too.
"I'll… I'll talk to Alibert about it later." Yugo softy said deciding it would be best now to share what's been happening to him with Alibert. "But first I have a meal to serve."
Determined to finish his job Yugo went back to work. Az finally hopped out nod the flour and onto the floor. The Tofu was covered in flour but that wasn't the strangest part. Az had a long blue glowing feather right where his tail feathers were.
Az noticed something was up and tired to turn around to see what it was. Unfortunately he really couldn't look that far back. Eventually Az stopped and decided to ignore it for now.
Yugo finished cooking all the meals and walked on front carrying them all.
"Everyone watch out!" Yugo called out as he had a plate of food on his head and two in his hands. "Nobody move."
Grinning Yugo tossed one plate to a table. It safely landed along with the guest's drink, fork and knife. The guest smiled as he looked down at the meal.
Next Yugo tossed another plate to a young woman. Just like the one earlier it landed without a single spill. The drink and utensils landed safely as well. The woman clapped at the spectacle and gave Yugo a flirtatious wink. Yugo smiled nervously with a faint blush.
Yugo threw that last plate with a steady hand and careful aim. Too bad it was too careful because it hit Ruel right in the face. All the food and spices now on the old Enutrof's face. Not impressed Ruel grumbled a little.
While Yugo chuckled sheepishly.
"Hehe, two out of three! Not bad huh?"
Alibert grabbed a rag and quickly cleaned up Ruel's face. With an innocent grin Yugo returned back to the kitchen. Not wanting to get an earful from Ruel. Now alone Yugo look down at his palms again.
They weren't glowing but Yugo could feel something was off. He didn't know how or why but he did.
"What's wrong with me?" Yugo softy asked with a somber expression.
CRASH!
A loud crash was heard from somewhere and Yugo felt a small tremor. Brushing all his thoughts away Yugo ran out of the kitchen to see what was happening. As he joined Alibert and Ruel in the restaurant the front door came flying with bits of debris! Alibert's shovel was thrown off the door too!
A few people gasped or backed away in fear. For good reason.
Standing right where the door used to be a large brute was standing there. With long red hair and very dark skin. And what looked be like three eyes. Two were pupil less while one wasn't and was located on his forehead. Giving out a snarl the brute walked in.
Many of the guests stayed in their seats. Either whimpering or shaking in fear. Both Alibert and Ruel were still shocked by what happened neither of them made a move. Yugo on the other scowled and glared at the big brute.
The big brute looked around causing many of the guest to look away or ducked from his sight. Eventually the brute stopped when he noticed some Gobbowl trophies on a shelf.
Walking to them the brute picked one up and smiled in wonder as he looked closely at it.
"Pretty…" The brute grunted out in awe. "Nice."
That's when another voice could be heard. Except this didn't sound like the brute yet it came from him somewhere.
"Forget about that idiot. We have other things to do. Destroy, it's time to destroy!"
Suddenly the brute's face was covered by big table cloth. Many gasped as the brute threw it off and looked to see who did it. Standing right in front of him was Yugo. Who didn't look afraid at all. Annoyed if anything.
"Alright, since you're big and slow I'm only going to say this once." Yugo explained with his arms crossed. "Clean up this mess you've caused and pay for the damages then get out. Or I'm going to bust all your gnarly teeth out and make you eat them. One at a time."
Everyone including the brute were shocked by what Yugo said and just did. The brute soon growled out showing his teeth. He then raised his large fist in the air ready to squash Yugo.
"Yeah, that's it! Let your hate out!"
The brute brought his fist down where Yugo was. But Yugo smirked and hopped on top of the brute's head. Just in time because the brute's fist went through the floor. Seeing that his opponent was gone and feeling something weird on his head. The brute looked up to see Yugo on his head still smirking.
"Geez, when I said slow I meant you were stupid. Guess your dumb and slow as a snail too." Yugo taunted as he placed a hand on his hip. "Also very ugly, did I mentioned that too?"
Not even more pissed the brute yelled out and punched where Yugo was. Only to feel that he missed and hit himself instead. Yugo was in the air and landed gracefully on a table.
Dazed from his own attack the brute shook it off and let out a loud roar. Scaring all of the guests as they screamed in terror! Letting out his anger the brute began to smash everything in sight. From tables, walls and to the foundations. Nothing was safe.
That's when all of the guests ran out of the restaurant fleeing from the danger. Leaving only Yugo, Alibert, Ruel and the brute.
"Master! Those people haven't paid!" Yugo called out as he saw everyone flee.
"There are some people who would take advantage of anything." Alibert stated rather sagely. "But don't worry lad, I'll recognized them."
Just as he finished saying that the brute threw a chair at him and Ruel! Thankfully both ducked just it time.
Having enough Ruel grabbed his shovel getting ready to attack. Seeing his teacher and friend get attacked made Yugo's blood boil. With a yell Yugo charged at the brute. But just as he was about to reach him, the brute punched Yugo so hard that he was sent flying all the way to the kitchen!
"YUGO!" Alibert yelled out in worry as he ran to go check on his student.
With Yugo out of the way the brute set his eyes on Ruel and yelled out right in his face. Frightened for a moment Ruel scowled as he attacked the brute.
Alibert was in the kitchen checking on Yugo. Who crashed right into the big fire place and was very dazed.
"Is there anything broken?" Alibert asked very worried.
The large Enutrof looked back to see Ruel who was at the mercy of the brute. Angry about all of this Alibert decided it was time he got involved. No one trashes his restaurant and chases off his guests away. Or hurt his friends. No one especially hurts the young man who he considers a son.
Running off to join the fight Alibert left Yugo. Who going in and out of consciousness. His vision was blurry and he was in pain. But that's when something strange started to happen.
He started to remember something. Except this wasn't like the time he remembered his name or earlier. No, this was something deeper.
Flashback
At the edge of a village somewhere. Surrounded by wheat and plains. Three people were arguing.
"Yugo please! You can't do this."
"I have to mom. You heard the message. I got to leave and head to Oma Island."
Our sights landed on Yugo. But he looked very different. This was Yugo when he was a young boy. Around 10 years old. He was carrying a small backpack strapped to his back. Right now he was arguing with his mother as his brother looked on close by.
"I don't care what it said! I'm not letting you go to get yourself killed! I won't allow it, that dragon is gonna have to come here if he wants to take you away from us!"
Yugo's mother Cabotine, while not his birth mother. She deeply loved Yugo like her son. Cared and raised him. She was hot headed at times yet was a loving and worrisome mother.
"Goultard, please talk some sense into your little brother!"
Goultard was Yugo's older brother. Not his birth brother but still his brother. Both were raised by their mother. Not bothered by the fact they weren't birth brothers. Both still cared for one another deeply. Whenever Yugo would be bullied or get in danger. Goultard would be there. Being the oldest he was around 14 years old if not older.
"Mom… I think he should go."
Cabotine and Yugo were shocked by what he said. Soon Cabotine's shock turned into anger.
"How could you say such a thing?! Yugo belongs here! I don't care if I didn't give birth to him, he's my son and nobody else's!"
Tears could be seen gently falling down Cabotine's face. Suddenly she fell down to her knees. Both of her sons quickly rushed to her side. Still crying she looked at her sons. They were her whole world.
"I don't want to lose you…" Cabotine wept softy.
Yugo's heart tightened. The last thing he wanted was to make his mom cry. He didn't want to go. But he needed to do this. He needed to know. About his other family, why it involved dragons and his powers.
"Mom, you're my real mother. Nothing will ever change that. You and Goultard were there for me all these years. You raised me like I was your real son-"
"You are my real son! I don't care if you are an Eliatrope and not a Iop!"
"I know!" Yugo yelled out surprising his mom and brother. Since he never raises his voice. "And nothing will change mom! I love you. You too Goultard. Whoever or whatever I find on Oma Island, it won't change how I feel about either of you. You are my real family."
Suddenly Yugo wrapped his arms around his mom giving her a loving hug. Which she eventually returned still misty eyed.
"Mom, I feel lost. I don't know who I am or why I'm here. You're my family I know. But I feel like I'm missing something in my life. I won't know what it is until I go to Oma Island." Yugo explained as he stopped hugging his mom. He turned to Goultard shorty after. "Brother you've found your calling. You're a hero, everyone loves you. Me… I don't who I am. All I am is your snot nosed baby brother."
Yugo looked troubled as he lowered his head a little. That stopped when he felt a comforting touch his shoulder. He looked and saw his brother giving him a grin.
"You sure can be dense sometimes little bro. You're more than my baby brother. You're Yugo The Eliatrope." Goultard explained still grinning as he helped up Yugo and their mom. "Whatever you find out there little bro, me and mom will be right here waiting for you. Ain't that right mom?"
Both Goultard and Yugo looked up at there mom. Who was still reeling from everything that was said. Surprisingly instead of crying or yelling Cabotine smiled softy as she wiped away her tears.
"O-of course." Cabotine whispered out softy.
Cabotine walked up to Yugo and hugged him one more time.
"I love you Yugo. Ever since I laid my eyes on you, I knew you were my baby. My son. Whatever you find out there won't stop me from loving you. Not ever. You and your brother make me so proud." Cabotine softy stated in a loving and motherly tone. She finally let go and kissed Yugo on the head. "Be safe and show this world what you're made of… my baby boy."
Yugo felt his heart tightened even more. He looked down as he began to cry. He knew saying goodbye was going to be hard. But not like this. Having second thoughts Yugo wanted to just stop and head home with his family.
Yet he couldn't.
He needed to do this. Whatever his destiny was he needed to find out. No matter what. Still, when all is said and done. He'll still have his family. His mother and brother.
Wiping away his tears Yugo looked up to see the smiling faces of his mother and brother. Smiling sadly Yugo hugged them one last time. Afterwards he began to walk away. Going off on his journey.
But he stopped for a moment to look back at his family. Who were smiling and waving goodbye to him.
"I'll be back. I promise."
And with that Yugo summoned a large portal and jumped right into it. Disappearing, his destination?
Oma Island.
End Of Flashback
Immediately Yugo's eyes shot wide open. His face filled with shock and disbelief. Tears began to flow down his face as he remembered who that woman and young boy were.
They were his mom and brother.
He remembered who they were. Quickly he began to remember as much as he could. All he could remember is his life before he left his family. How he grew up with his mom and brother. How his mom sang him beautiful lullabies to help him go to sleep and kiss him goodnight. How Goultard played with him and taught him everything about becoming a hero. The adventures they had from fighting monsters and bandits to just having fun. All the wonderful moments they had as a family together.
Yugo remembered all of it.
Suddenly Az appeared chirping for him to get up. Then a cry rang out that got Yugo's attention. He looked and saw the brute lifting both Alibert and Ruel up. Ready to do something terrible.
"Now, crush them! Destroy them!"
Ruel's eyes widened in shock as he looked closely at the brute. Quickly realizing who was talking.
"A Shushu!" Ruel yelled out. "He's possessed by a Shushu!"
Before the possessed brute could do anything. A api hit him on the side of the face. Causing him to look who threw it. There standing on top of the counter Yugo with a smirk.
"A Shushu eh?" Yugo asked particularly to no one. He then cracked his knuckles and smirked some more. "I remember now, a Shushu is an evil spirit. A demon trapped in an object. Most powerful Shushu can take control of their owners if badly controlled. My big brother Goultard told me about them long ago."
The brute's third eye widened in shock.
"G-Goultard?! How do you know that name?! What do you mean by brother?! WHO ARE YOU?!"
Yugo didn't say a word, all he did was extend his hands as they started to glow.
"I'm Yugo!" Yugo proclaimed with a smirk and determined look. "Yugo The Eliatrope!"
Summoning a blue portal Yugo jumped right into it. Suddenly another portal appeared over the brute's head. Alibert and Ruel were shocked to see Yugo jump out of the portal. But Alibert was more shocked than Ruel because he knew what this was.
'The… the message!'
Landing on top of the brute's head Yugo immediately went on the attack. He grabbed the brute's third eye and started to pull it off!
"Ahh! What are doing you fool?! Let me go!"
As Yugo kept pulling, the brute yelled out in pain. Strange red energy started to come from the Shushu eye as Yugo finally pulled it off! With the eye now in his hand it suddenly the eye quickly became a small sword!?
Without the Shushu controlling him the brute groaned and fell to the floor. Before hitting the ground Yugo hopped off in time and landed on his feet. Sighing in relief Yugo looked up at Alibert and Ruel with a smile. Then without warning Alibert ran up to Yugo and gave him a large hug.
"Yugo, you okay?!" Alibert asked still worried about his student's wellbeing.
Alibert's worry died down when Yugo smiled and nodded. The large Enutrof was glad to hear that.
Suddenly the brute began to glow which got everyone's attention. Yugo and the others looked down to see the brute shrinking. A little while later the former brute slowly got up staring at everyone with a pained and tired expression. Everyone was surprised to see that the brute was in fact a young Iop.
"T-there's something I absolutely must tell you…"
The Iop began to say before abruptly falling asleep. While still standing up? Surprising everyone.
"He conked out!" Ruel said surprised.
Seeing that danger had passed Ruel smiled and looked to Yugo.
"Well, kiddo that was some pretty impressive stuff. What was that weird portal trick you did?" Ruel asked pretty impressed by what Yugo did. "I've never seen that kind of magic before."
Yugo's smile disappeared after that. He grew quiet as he looked down at the ground. Both Alibert and Ruel knew something was troubling him.
"Yugo. What's wrong?" Alibert asked as began to worry again. That's when he realized something. Yugo what he said a little while ago. "You… you finally remembered, you remember something!"
Ruel's widened in shock now realizing what was up. Yugo looked up at the two Enutrofs and nodded with a faint smile.
"I… remember my family Alibert. A mom and a brother. I remember their names too. That's not all, I know who I am too." Yugo explained as his smile dropped a little. "At least I think I do. I still don't remember much. Especially how I ended up here. I also don't how I was able to make those portals. It just happened."
Ruel was confused as he was trying to process all this info. Alibert on the other hand looked troubled. With a sigh and sorrowful expression Alibert finally spoke.
"Yugo, I have something extremely important to tell you." Alibert started to say getting Yugo's full attention. "I wasn't being truthful with you when I said I found Az all those years ago. I didn't find him, he was given to me. I don't know by who but I know why. Az is a very special Tofu who delivered a message to me. A message that told me where you can find your family and get your memories back."
Yugo couldn't believe what he was hearing. His face was one of shock and disbelief. It was all too much for him to process. But before he could think any further on this shocking reveal.
A loud and frightened scream could be heard outside. Along with more screaming and cries of panic.
"What's all that racket?!" Ruel yelled out as he took a look outside and was shocked.
Yugo and Alibert shorty followed and were also shocked. They saw dark little creatures attacking everyone in sight. When they got a hold of a person they would turn them into some kind of grassy tree like statues.
Emelka was being attacked!
To Be Continued
Next Time On Wakfu Altered Destiny: Strange creatures are attacking the people of Emelka! Turning many of the people into tree like statues! In the chaos Alibert is turned into such a statue. Hoping to free him and everyone attacked. Yugo, Ruel and their new Iop companion venture into The Forbidden Forest. Where the creatures came from. Once there they meet a certain Sadida Princess and her Cra bodyguard. Together they meet an old oak tree who seems to know Yugo and a bit of his past. And that is just the beginning of Yugo's incredible journey!
Important AN: There you go! Hope you all liked this chapter. You got a look at Yugo's past. Now I'm just gonna say that I don't know much about Wakfu and Dofus's history. I only know what I know from the movies, shows and the wiki. Also some of the shorts like Ogrest and Goultard The Barbarian. Though I think the last one is confirmed non canon. At least that's what I'd heard. If you guys know anything more about Goultard's official past or other stuff message me please so I don't mess things up. But since this is an AU I think we're good. Anyways about pairings, Percedal and Evangelyne are pretty much a guarantee. With Yugo I really want him to be with Amalia. But I want to hear what you guys want. Because Yugo isn't a little kid in this one. He's already caught the eye of a few people. Like said tell me what you all want to see. Leave your suggestions for pairings in a review or message me. It's up to you. Expect the next chapter in two or three months if not sooner. Leave your questions, suggestions or general feedback in a review. See ya!
