MIST'S DESTRUCTION

Morning light came in through the bedroom window, waking Yugi. He sat up, shook Rydia, and said, "Come on. Time to get up."

Rydia opened her eyes and looked up at him with a tired smile. "I had an amazing dream last night." She said.

Yugi smiled. "You can tell me after breakfast." He replied. "Ok?"

Rydia nodded, crawled out of bed, and left the room.

Yugi got out of bed, dressed, and headed out. He sat next to Rydia and they had breakfast.

Yugi and Rydia sat by a pond. Rydia leaned against Yugi, making him blush. I wish he didn't have to leave. She thought.

The small teen put his arm around her. "So what was your dream about?" He asked.

Rydia blushed. "You were in armor." She explained. "The armor was white with red trim. You looked so cool and you were even wielding a sword."

Yugi looked down at his reflection in the water. Sounds interesting. He thought. I wonder why she dreamed of me in armor.

"Yugi?" Said Rydia.

"Hmm?"

"Mom said that you have to leave today."

Yugi's heart sank. "Why did she say that?"

"Everyone in the village are afraid that the King of Baron will send an army to destroy them because of you."

"Do you believe that?"

"No. But…" Rydia's voice trailed off.

Yugi looked at her. "What's wrong?"

"You still want to go to Baron, right?"

Yugi paled. He had forgotten about it after spending time with Rydia. He looked away, guilt written on his face. "Yes."

Rydia shrugged off his hand and straightened. Tears slid down her cheeks. "I'm not stopping you." She shot to her feet and ran off.

Yugi scrambled to his feet and hurried after her. "Rydia!" I should have realized saying "yes" would make her upset. He thought. "Rydia!"

No use. She kept running and eventually vanished in the thick part of the forest.


Yugi continued to run, looking for her. "Rydia!" He called. "Rydia!" He searched and shouted for what felt like hours. Perhaps she went to see her mother. He thought. Then he nodded and headed towards the village.

Suddenly, an agonizing, throbbing pain in his head made him stop dead in his tracks.

Yugi held his head between his ands and fell to his knees. He screwed his eyes shut and let out a loud cry of agony as he felt like his head was on fire.

Vision…Two men slayed a Mist Dragon. Both were in armor and it was impossible to see their faces under their helmets. Once had a helmet in the shape of a dragon's head and his long, blond hair was tied in a low ponytail. The other looked like a dark knight. Then they continued on from the Mist Cave heading straight for the village Mist. …End of vision

Yugi's eyes shot open, and he panted as the pain subsided. "Rydia." He breathed. "Mist. No." He scrambled to his feet and saw large explosions over the tops of the trees. "Rydia!" He ran as fast as he could towards the village.


Yugi reached the village and stared in horror at the scene around him.

There were people dead or dying. Homes were burning. The whole area was chaos.

Yugi took a deep breath and said, "I have to find Rydia and get her out of here." He ran around, looking for the green haired girl. Then he stopped when he saw her by her mother's dead body.

"Mom!" Rydia cried. "You can't die just because your dragon did!"

That dragon I saw, thought Yugi in shock, was her mother's dragon. Oh god. He ran towards her.

Something suddenly struck him in the back of the head.

Yugi fell to the ground, unconscious and unmoving.

All around was more destruction. Rydia came running towards Yugi and saw him on the ground. She heard the Dark Knight behind her. Then she shook her head and shouted out of anger; "I HATE YOU!"

The ground shook, a chasm formed near the village, and unleashed Titan.


dragonchild247: If that was it for Yugi, then this story would be completed already. It'd be pointless for this fan fic if he was dead in this chapter. Who's the Dark Knight? (Well, those who've played Final Fantasy IV will know, or at least they should.) What will happen next? Stay tuned. Please review.
