Chapter 21: Exion's Master Plan
"Well let's see what you got Ayato." Kuro said, smirking.
"Oh you'll see alright!" Ayato retorted. Ayato drew a card, "I know you know what card I just drew but it doesn't matter, you can't stop me from playing it." Kuro shrugged uncaringly. "I play Pot of Greed in order to draw two more cards then I play another Pot of Greed."
"I'm curious to know...how do you plan on bypassing my Millenuim Eye?" Kuro asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Oh you'll find out soon enough, but for now I place two cards face down, then I play Emergency Provisions, by sending my two face down cards to the graveyard I gain 2000 life points!"
Ayato: 2200/ Kuro: 4000
Kuriboh suddenly appears next to Ayato. "You ready Kuriboh?" Ayato whispered so Kuro couldn't hear him. Kuriboh nods.
Kuro's Millenuim Eye starts to glow, 'There's no way he can get passed my Millenuim Eye.'
Ayato quickly closes his eyes. "What are you doing?" Kuro asks confused.
"If I don't look at my cards, you can't see what they are."
"So you think you can win by luck?" Kuro asked, a look of disbelief on his face.
Ayato smirks, "If that's what you wanna call it."
"Now I play...Dark Hole!"
Kuro's eyes widened in suprise, "How did you know what card that was?"
"I didn't, I only knew what it was after I played it." Ayato replied.
"So your telling me you played a card that just so happens to be a card that would work in your favor, I think your cheating somehow." Kuro accused.
"I'm cheating?" Ayato asked unbelievingly.
"Yes you are, I don't know how, but you are."
"Your one to talk with that Millenuim Eye of yours." Ayato says.
Kuro grinds his teeth in frustration.
"Now I place one card face down and end my turn."
'I can't beat this kid if my Millenuim Eye can't help me.' Kuro thought to himself.
"I play Monster Reborn to bring back Lajinn the Mystical Genie(1800/1000, now attack Ayato directly!"
"Not so fast, I activate my face down...Draining Shield, now your monster's attack points boost my life points intstead!" A shield of magical energy absorbs the attack and converts it into life points.
Ayato: 4000/Kuro: 4000
"Thanks Kuriboh, I wouldn't be able to beat this guy if it wasn't for you." Ayato whispered so Kuro couldn't here him. Just then the door to the rooftop opens and Yugi walks onto the roof. "Father, what are you doing here!?"
"I came here as fast as I could when I saw you on the news, what's going on?"
"All over the news!?" Ayato questioned. Ayato looks up to see helicopters hovering above them no doubt belonging to local news stations. Kuro begins to laugh hysterically. "What's so funny? Yugi and Ayato ask in unison.
"Look behind you."
The two look in the direction Kuro is pointing to see Exion standing there holding three duel monster cards. Yugi's eyes widened in suprise, "How did you get my Egyptian God cards!"
Exion snickers, "I've finally have them, now all that's left is obtaining those Sacred Beasts and I will truly be invincible!"
Ayato looks confused, "Sacred Beasts?"
"Kuro, your job is done, take care of these two for me." Exion takes out a small silver ball and slams it into the ground, once the smoke clears Exion is nowhere to be seen. Ayato and Yugi bring their attention back to the man standing in front of them.
Kuro smirks, "Shall we?"
Ayato draws a card and closes his eyes again, he points his finger at a card and Kuriboh squeaks approvingly.
"I play...Monster Reborn to bring back Dark Blade(1800/1500), next I sacrifice him to summon Dark Magician Girl(Atk: 2000), and finally...I play Sage's Stone to summon Dark Magician(2500/2100) from my deck!" The two magicians appear on Ayato's field, ready for battle.
Ayato smirks, "Looks like your pretty weak when that Millenuim Eye can't help you and because of that I'm one attack away from winning this duel."
Kuro grins, "You talk too much." Kuro pulls out a small remote with a red button on it. "I knew I would have to use this as soon as my Millenuim Eye proved useless."
Back At Yugi's House
"Hey look, Ayato's on television!" Hikari says. Akari and Anna scramble to the television.
"Hey your right it is him!" Suddenly the glass that Ayato, Yugi, and Kuro are standing on shatters. The three girls gasp, "OH MY GOD!"
Meanwhile
'It can't end this way.' Ayato thinks to himself as he falls closer and closer to the dark portal that leads to the shadow realm. Suddenly a figure with a black coat appears before Ayato and grabs him by the hand. Ayato closes his eyes as darkness surrounds him and his savior.
Ayato awakens on a beach, but not just any beach, the same beach on Duel Academy. Ayato sits up slowly, he was very sore for some reason.
"Your lucky."
Ayato is startled by the sudden voice and turns around. The figure that saved him is standing right there.
The figure walks beside Ayato and sits down next to him.
"Thanks for saving me." Ayato says.
"There is no need for that." The figure replied.
"Who are you?"
"Someone who cares." The person replied.
Ayato looks at the soft sand. 'What is going on here, I'm so confused.'
"Do not worry, your father is safe." Ayato brings his attention back to the strange person. The coated figure stands back up, "Take my hand, you must prepare for your duel."
Ayato stands up, "Duel?"
"Against the evil spirit, that has possesed Exion, the very same spirit that Atem dueled at Battle City."
Ayato gasped, "What!?"
"It will take everthing in your power to defeat him now that he has the Egyptian God cards, but I have faith in you." The coated figure grabs Ayato and presses him against her.
Ayato blushes unknowingly, "Could I see your face?" Ayato asked, hating himself for asking such a random and stupid question.
The black coated figure looks down at him and although he couldn't see her face Ayato swore she was smirking, "In due time Ayato."
Darkness begins to engulf Ayato and the black coated figure until it consumes them.
"Ayato!"
"Ayato wake up!"
Ayato wakes up slowly to see Jaden staring at him.
Ayato groans, "Jaden?"
Ayato suddenly remembers what happened.
"Where am I?"
Jaden begins to laugh, "Don't you recognize your own house."
Yugi walks into the room, "So your finally awake."
Ayato nods, "What a day." Everyone nods.
"Were going to scout the city for any remaining rare hunters, you just stay here and rest, Akari will be here just in case something happens." Everyone leaves except Akari.
Ayato let's his mind wander off. 'Who was that girl, why did she save me, and why does she believe I can stop Exion?"Ayato sighes, "Maybe some music will help me think better." He grabs his cd player and heads towards the kitchen.
Once in the kitchen Ayato sits down on the floor, with his back to the wall and puts on some soothing music. Akari is sitting at the table tapping on it with her fingers. "I'm bored." Akari said dully.
Ayato, noticing that Akari had said something took the earpieces out, "Did you say something?"
Akari nodded glad that she got his attention, "I said I'm bored."
Ayato rolled his eyes, "Well what do you want me to do about it?"
"I don't know think of something...and it better not be perverted." Ayato sighed, not really wanting to make her mad, he closed his eyes and thought for a while, when he opened his eyes he was face to face with Akari. Ayato couldn't help but blush seeing how at this angle he could see that Akari wasn't wearing a bra, which exposed quite a bit of her cleavage since she was bent over like she was.
"Well." She said waiting for his reply. Ayato however didn't hear her, his focus was still on Akari's cleavage. Akari followed his gaze down to her exposed clevage. "Like what you see, huh?" This caused Ayato to turn scarlet. "Well too bad," and with that Akari punched him in the chest.
"That's what you get for being a pervert."
Ayato could only watch as she walked off, but he swore she was giving her hips more of a sway than usual. He sighed, he'd never be able to figure her out, 'Sometimes it seems like she likes me and other times it doesn't.' Ayato closes his eyes once again, 'Don't worry Anna, I will get you back, no matter what it takes, I will not fail.'
