Yu-Gi-Oh
Dawn of the Pharaoh
Chapter 2
As Yugi starts his turn, he draws one card and places it to the left of his hand. "I think I'll attack with Celtic Guardian! Go my warrior, attack his Swordsmistress!"
After Yugi ordered the attack, he activates Mystical Space Typhoon and destroys his facedown on the right. The card reveals itself as Shadow Spell and becomes destroyed.
Celtic Guardian runs towards Kanan. Surprisingly, Kanan runs towards Yugi's Guardian. They both jump in the air and swipe at each other. The two warriors land in front of their opponents. As Celtic Guardian lifts its head and looks at Yami, Kanan falls over, with a large gash in her head.
"Well Yami, I suppose you didn't see that coming huh?" Yugi said with a smile.
Yami smiles and responds, "No, in fact, I kinda expected it. Look at your monster."
Yugi looks at Celtic Guardian and notices that he's starting to fall over. When Celtic Guardian falls flat on his face, a puddle of blood appears underneath him.
"What? But how? My monster has higher attack points than yours." Yugi said.
Yami smiles and clicks a button on the Duel Disk. "More like, the same attack points."
Rush Recklessly appears on the field and Yugi is surprised from Yami's quick learning curve.
"Good, you've learned that you can use Quick Plays like trap cards. So how did you figure that out?" Yugi asked.
"Well, I assumed I could use it during your turn since you used your mystical space typhoon card that was set last turn, so I thought I could use it during your turn. And thankfully it saved me from taking damage, thanks to it giving my warrior another 700." Yami said as he picks the two cards up and places them in the graveyard slot.
Yugi picks up Celtic Guardian and places it in the graveyard slot as well. "I suppose that wasn't enough for you huh? Okay, I think I'll activate my Horn of the Unicorn's special ability! If this card is destroyed at all while its on the field and sent to the grave, I must send it to the top of my deck." Yugi says as he places Horn of the Unicorn on the top of his deck.
"Next I'll activate my spell card, Premature Burial. now I'll pay 800 life points to bring back my Celtic Guardian." Yugi said.
A portal appears and Celtic Guardian jumps out of it. "Next I'll sacrifice him to summon my Summoned Skull!" Yugi said as Celtic Guardian drops his sword and slowly transforms into a large skeletal like creature with electricity forming around it.
Yami looks at the monstrous fiend and looks at his hand, but notices something with similar attack power. "Maybe I can try to summon him later on to tackle against his monster later on." He said to himself.
"Okay Yami, I end my turn." Yugi said, as he folds his arms awaiting what Yami is going to do next.
Yami draws a card and starts reading it. "Eh, if it means to survive his monster, then so be it. I activate, Ancient Rules! This allows me to special summon a level 5 normal monster." He reaches from his hand and grabs Cyber-Tech Alligator.
Then, a monk appears out of thin air, and opens up an old scroll. Light begins to escape from it, and a large hand seeps from inside the scroll. The hand latches itself to the ground and the rest appears out of the scroll, revealing the being in the scroll to be Cyber-Tech Alligator. The reptiles eyes suddenly open and the one on the left appear to have a yellow glowing lense for an eye. There are gauges on the left of its torso and arm. The one on the torso seems to read battery levels. Right now it's at full charge.
"Wow, you even brought out your own monster that matches my Summoned Skull's power." Yugi said smiling.
Yami smiles and places ancient rules in the graveyard.
Suddenly, Yugi seems to be turning off his duel disk and ending the duel.
"Wait, why are we stopping?" Yami asked.
Yugi smiles and takes the cards out from the disk and shuffles them back in the deck. "Well you proved me that you learned rather quickly by just watching me. Keep that up and you may even be as good as me… maybe even better."
Yami smiles and shuffles all his cards back in his deck and places it into the disk for later. "I wonder what it will be like at Kaiba Corp?" He said to himself.
Yugi packs up his deck and walks back inside the shop, with Yami following him.
Later on the day, night falls and Yami is in his room sorting out some cards and adding his own cards to the deck. As he adds his own cards to his deck, he looks at the clock and sees that its almost 9:30 pm. "I best get ready for bed." Yami places his deck on the counter top and climbs into bed.
As morning arrives, Yami is packing up his things. As he walks towards the door, a young woman hugs him. "Have a good day at school son!" Then she hands him some money, mostlikely for lunch. He then walks towards the bus and sits by a male student. "So Danny, you looking forward to the field trip today?" Yami asked.
"I suppose, just hope it won't be boring as hell." Danny said.
Then a girl leans over to their seat. "Oh calm down Danny, it won't be that bad. Besides, we're going to see Seto Kaiba and his whole company!"
"Yeah, I suppose you're right Jessie. But he's just... well you know, weird. I mean, he's practically obsessed over that dragon of his." Danny said.
"Not to mention, the adaptations he constantly gives that card." another student said.
"Well Shiroku, it won't matter much. Because, at least we get a bit of a break from class for once!" Yami said.
"True, so there's no point to argue if we get a free pass out of school for the day." Shiroku said.
When Yami arrives at school, he sees his teacher directing the kids to the school bus to go to the field trip. He gets on the bus, and sits by Danny again.
"So where do you think we're going first?" Yami asked.
"Beats me. Besides, it'll be a snore fest either way." Danny said. Then he looks up, seeing Jessie giving him a very angry look.
"Good god, nothing spikes your interest at all these days." Jessie said as she crosses her arms and legs in anger.
As they arrive at Kaiba Corp, Yami's teacher directs them outside the bus and into the building. "Okay class, here we are at Kaiba Corporations. Our tourguide will actually be Kaiba's younger brother." The teacher said as the others look at her in excitement.
Then, an elevator opens and it shows a young man walking out the elevator, with Seto Kaiba behind him. "Hello class, I'll be your tourguide today. My name is Mokuba Kaiba. Behind me is my older brother who owns the company, Seto Kaiba."
"Yes, which I was also known as the champion back then." Seto said with a smile.
"Ahem. Former, champion." Mokuba said.
Seto glares at him, then just looks away.
"Anyways, shall we get started on the tour?" Mokuba asked.
"Mhm, we're on a tight schedule today." The teacher said, smiling nervously.
"Its all good. Now, lets head off to the duel field." Mokuba said.
As a few hours pass, the class are walking along a hallway. Then a person inside a room is watching the class pass by. He seems to mainly watch Yami walking along the classes. The person seems to be wearing a cloak of some kind, and has a hood over his head to hide his identity. He flips open a phone, and dials a number. After a few minutes of it ringing, a person with a deep sinister voice is on the other end.
"Do you have your target on sight?"
"Yeah I see him, but how am I going to force him to come to me?" The cloaked person asked.
"My guess, is to take one of his friends hostage. You have three choices. The first one would be Shiroku Kunikashka, I don't know much about him so best not to take him. The other is Danny Taylor, he's more or less a laid back person and is a close friend to Yami. The last choice, is Jessie Wheeler, she is also a close friend to Yami."
"Hm... I think Jessie would make a good damsel in distress." The cloaked person said.
"Okay good, so take her hostage, and don't forget to use the part of that ring I gave you!"
"Trust me Bakura, I won't." The cloaked person said as he closes the phone and hangs up.
He takes one last look at the class as they're walking off screen. He reaches into the cloak and pulls out a necklace of what appears to be a golden artifact. Its radiating a dark aura of some kind.
Then, a dark figure appears with a scythe in one hand from behind. "Well reaper, lets get this party started."
The two disappear out of the room into a black portal. Leaving no trace of them behind.
