This is where we have the final duel. I had the Industrial Illusions employers kinda turn against their boss and go behind his back, because I doubt if they would want to risk the police on their trails to bring back their former boss. I've always wondered why Yako and Gekko couldn't just have taken over the company themselves and why everyone in Industrial Illusions in Yu-Gi-Oh R worshiped Pegasus like he was god or something! I thought that was retarded. I can understand Yako, why he would want Pegasus back, but why the rest of the employers? It would be like Alfred bringing back Bruce from the dead. At least in the anime of Yu-Gi-Oh GX, they gave the employers of Industrial Illusions some common sense! Even Franz, who stole the Winged Dragon of Ra and used it to mess around with the students at Duel Academy because of his jealousy toward Chumely, had more common sense! The Industrial Illusions employers in Yu-Gi-Oh R are just... silly! They act like a bunch of nutjobs and worship Pegasus like he's Jesus Christ more than Optimus Prime from Transformers 2! In Duelist Kingdom, even in the manga, Pegasus's employers never saw him that way. I'd think if his sons tried harming one of Yugi's friends, his employers would be trying to stop Yako, not supporting him! More importantly, they wouldn't blame Yugi for killing off Pegasus, since they never suspected him after the murder! More importantly, they wouldn't believe a single thing Bandit Keith pulled out of his mouth. Oh, and to make things even more goofy, apparently Bandit Keith was also brought back from the dead by Yako using the Wicked Gods. YOU KNOW! BECAUSE THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE! Don't use whatever possibility you pulled out of your ass to bring back Pegasus, the one you're trying to bring back from the dead, bring back the guy WHO TRIED TO MURDER HIM! Even Chuckie being brought back from the dead in Child's Play 2 and 3 made more sense! But don't worry, this is only a taste of the goofiness of continuity and screw ups you're gonna find about Yu-Gi-Oh R. THERE'S MORE! Review please!
Seto, Duke, Hanaski, Gekko, and Tea finally made at the roof where Yako stood there waiting for them with a sinister smirk of his own. His arms were folded and his trench coat was waving in the wind at the same time Seto's was. Both were standing exchanging glares. Hanaski looked at Seto, then at Yako with a questionable look.
"Uh guys, why is it that duelists tend to wear coats that define gravity?" Hanaski asked as everyone looked at him funny. "I'm just saying. I-I'd think it'd be hot, you'd probably sweat and stink during the duel and... I'll be quiet now."
"Are you ready for this, Kaiba? Very soon Pegasus will revive inside your little friend and Kaiba Corporation will belong to Industrial Illusions!" Yako smirked insanely.
"You're even crazier than your father, which is saying alot," Atem spat as Yako shot him a glare.
"Stop this, Yako! This is madness and you know that! You know Pegasus wouldn't want any of this to happen! You know he would never return if it meant killing an innocent person!" Gekko shouted.
"I'm not killing anyone. I'm just transferring souls," Yako corrected.
"You might as well be killing someone! Maybe not physically killing the body, but you're definitely removing the soul and destroying it in the process! That's very much murder as far as I'm concerned!"
"Then, I guess we have different opinions."
"What's happened to you, Yako? You were never like this before! In fact, you were supportive of working with Kaiba Corporation, and then you got a hold of those stupid Wicked Gods! I'm starting to believe you're not even Yako at all!"
"QUIET YOU FOOL!" Yako shouted, his eyes turning black this time. Everyone gasped as this site as they felt dark energies flowing from his body. "For too long, you've always been the perfect duelist while I was below from being perfect! You've always been in my way! Well, not anymore! I'm in charge now! I'm the one who will be under the standards of being a perfect duelist!"
"Wait, hold on, since when did this turn from bringing Pegasus back from the dead to being in competition with your sibling? If I recall, I don't remember your family drama being the issue here! The real issue was bringing Pegasus back from the dead, because you're depressed about him being dead and wanting him back! You can't just bring family issues into the picture! It just makes you seem like you're just trying to find a poor excuse to bring Pegasus back from the dead using someone else's body, because you know what you're doing is inhumanly wrong!" Duke said, pointing out the situation to Yako. 'Even with the issue with Marik, he never used his relationship with Ishizu as an excuse to kill Yugi! That'd just be pushing it!'
"I agree. Since when did your soap opera become the main issue here? How does your relationship with Gekko have anything to do with killing me off and using my body to rise Pegasus back from the f***ing dead?" Atem asked with folded arms.
"IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH RISING PEGASUS FROM THE DEAD!" Yako yelled.
"Really, then tell the class," Atem said smudgly as Yako pierced his lips, trying to think of a reason.
"Well... um... it's related to your relationship with Yugi, since you both look alike and-"
Atem burst out laughing along with everyone else, who were thinking the same thing. Atem asked, "HOW THE HELL ARE YUGI AND I LIKE YOU AND GEKKO AND WHAT DOES THIS F***ING HAVE TO DO WITH THE TEA IN CHINA?"
"Because Yugi's always taking the credit and dueling for you-"
"NA! Wrong answer! Actually, I take the credit for all the duels and though Yugi does duel for me, it's not like I've never dueled on my own before. HELL! Sometimes we duel together, helping each other out! Last time I checked, even the duel against your Maxamillion Pegasus, wasn't it my name that was on the Newspaper that said to have defeated him? Wasn't it me who's being chased by fangirls? I think you just pulled that excuse out of your ass!"
"SHUT UP!"
"Wow, I haven't seen a plot twist this assed up since Revenge of the Sith," Duke smirked as he and the others laughed.
"Listen, are you going to duel me or what?" Yako asked with irritation in his black eyes.
"I suppose since I'm-" Seto said before being cut off.
"Wait!" A voice cried out, which sounded like Yugi. Everyone gasped, seeing Yugi back in Atem's body and holding a deck in his hand. "You need this! The three Egyptian God cards are your only chance in defeating the Wicked Gods!"
"IMPOSSIBLE! HOW DID YOU ESCAPE?" Yako asked, his black eyes glowing brighter.
"My friends saved me and transferred my soul card into Brother's body! Kaiba Corporation is on its way back up and running!" Yugi said. Tea ran up and hugged her boyfriend tightly before laying out a kiss on his cheek.
"Thank goodness you're okay!" Tea cried joyfully.
"Great job, Yugi!" Atem cheered with a thumbs up. Yugi smiled childishly, nodding.
"Since you're here, how about you duel me instead, Yugi?" Yako challenged Yugi as he looked up at Atem and he nodded.
"It's your deck, Yugi! Kaiba can get the company up and running. He knows more of the roots than you anyways," Atem said as Seto nodded, then walked from the roof, but not before giving Yugi his duel disk. "I wish you luck, Yugi! I know you can do it!" Yugi nodded, then took his brother's soul card from the duel disk and put it inside his pocket. He climbed up to the stage and him and Yako shuffled their deck.
"Just so you know, this duel will be a Shadow Game!" Yugi warned Yako as he grinned malevolent. "Only because my friends promised to not let the police handle you! So, I'll be the one to handle you!"
"You're just waiting to get back at me for what I did to you and your pathetic brother! I can see it in your eyes!"
"We'll let the Shadows decide that," Yugi said before they parted from each other and he let the darkness from the puzzle engulf the field letting the Shadow Game begin.
"I hope this doesn't turn out like it did in Battle City!" Duke said.
"Seeing Yugi's the one in control and not some psychopathic killer, I doubt it will be like Battle City," Hanaski reassured.
"I hope you're right!"
Yugi took a deep breath and a childish smile appeared on his face, like it once did on his previous Shadow Games. It felt weird, Yugi had not challenged anyone to a Shadow Game in almost a year. Now, he was starting to get back into the game of the Shadow Games. He could feel the familiar presence of the Shadows engulfing his every blood, vein, body, and soul. These felt so familiar to Yugi. He put out a childish smirk as the darkness chose who was to go first, it was Yugi.
Duke slightly gasped. He had never seen Yugi like this before, even during his Shadow Games with Melvin. During those times, he was usually playful, but also seemed careful. Now, he seemed more confident and in control. Duke turned his eyes at Hanaski, who stood smiling excitedly. It seemed he was more familiar to this side of Yugi.
Hanaski was glad to see Yugi back in the game of the Shadow Games again. It felt like the day they first met. Hanaski first became friends with Yugi when he played the Shadow Game against Trudge with this confident face and smile. It gave Hanaski a sense of comfort. They both changed and grew up for the better. Hanaski knew that before he met Yugi, he was too much into Zombire, because he had nobody else. Now, he had Yugi and his friends.
Tea looked up at Yugi with a smile of her own. She had pure confidence with her boyfriend that he would prevail. There was no doubt in her heart, for she knew Yugi and how he played his Shadow Games. Tea was only hoping that this Shadow Game would bring Yako out of the influence of the Wicked Gods. Hopefully, it would.
It was now time for the Shadow Game to begin!
