AN-I've just had a wonderful day yesterday... NOT! I've sprained my ankle, again, and I have to have crutches! Man, if only you guys could see my epic fail on these! I'll take a wheelchair any day!
Disclaimer-Don't own YGO. But I do own crutches until the day I die! lol
Chapter 8 – Love Don't Live Here
Joey looked to his right, then looked in front of him. His friends were fighting against each other, and he didn't want to even fight his father. He shook his head, wishing that all his friends were home, watching a movie and eating popcorn.
"Hey, Joseph! You wanna know what I've chosen for my deck master?"
"Ya know dad, I could freakin' care less!"
His dad huffed it off. "I choose Sword Hunter."
Joey closed his eyes and Sakura flew over ahead of them. Joey and his father drew five cards, both looked at their hands.
"Age before beauty." Emily called out to Seto as he laughed.
"I'm not that old. We're the same age."
"Well, if you're not gonna take the-"
"Fine! Hold your damn horses." Seto glanced at his hand and relaxes himself.
I've got to play the right cards… And Puppy better not mess this up. He should destroy his father.
"I'll lay this monster, face down, in defense mode. Also, I'll lay this little helper down, and end my turn." Two lights flashed in front of Seto's body as Emily grinned.
"That's all? Well, that's expected."
Emily looked down at her hand.
"I'll lay this card," She placed the card Aqua Madoor (ATK:1200/DEF:2000), "in defense mode, and I'll lay this trappie down."
Ha! A Magic Cylinder! I'll take Seto down so easily.
"I'll end my turn!" Michael called out.
"Good! I was losing focus and falling asleep." Joey drew a card, Skull Dice. "I'll lay this down, and my Alligator's Sword will attack your defense monster!"
Magical Ghost appeared and disappeared to the graveyard.
"That's fine." Michael murmured as he drew a card, Last Will. "I'll lay this down, and put this monster (Ancient Elf [ATK:1450/DEF:1300]) in defense mode, face down, and I'll end my turn."
Joey drew a card and looked over at Seto and Emily's duel for a moment.
"I'll sacrifice this monster and summon Cyber-Tech Alligator (ATK:2500/DEF:1600) then, I'll play Torrential Tribute!"
Why would he play that? He just summoned a hell of a strong monster! What an ass!
Joey shook his head and focused back onto his duel.
"I'll draw." Joey drew Gearfried, the Iron Knight. "I'll play this in attack mode! Come on out, Gearfried!" He appeared on the field, holding a shield on his side. "Then, I'll put Alligator's Sword in defense mode and Gearfried, attack-"
"Not so fast! I play Last Will!" Michael's card appeared in front of him.
Great… Besides, who th' hell even has this card?
"I get to summon a monster to the field, with less than 1500 attack points, when you want to attack my monster! So, unfortunately, you can't attack my life points directly. And I'll special summon Koumori Dragon (ATK:1500/DEF:1200)!"
Gearfried attacked the dragon and his father was down 300 LP.
[Michael LP (7700) / Joey LP (8000)]
"Ah ha! Alright!" Joey cheered for himself as his father wiped sweat from his head as he watched Emily's face.
"I'll this monster in defense mode, and end my turn. Make your move, Seto." Emily called out as Seto drew a card, making Joey a little worried.
They haven't done anything… No LP have been lost… This isn't like Seto…
"I'll lay this face down, and put this special helper face down." Seto said-he didn't want to say if it was a trap or a magic card-as Emily has before.
"Aww… You don't wanna tell me? Fine with me." Emily drew a card and frowned. "I'll end my turn."
"Aww, you don't wanna do anything? Well, okay with me." Seto had to mimic as Emily smiled, but if you looked closer, her hazel eye color returning, briefly, as he shook his head.
It must be my imagination…
"I'll play this: Harpie's Feather Duster! Say goodbye to your spell cards!" Emily discarded the cards to the graveyard as she huffed it off.
"Joseph! Make your damn move!" He turned back to his father as he gulped.
"Fine! You need to watch and listen!"
Joey drew his Red Eyes, making him smile.
"I'll sacrifice these two monsters in order to bring out: Red Eyes Black Dragon!" He cried out as Seto looked over to the other field, cracking a small grin.
Alright. He's doing well… If only I could summon my Blue Eyes…
Seto shook his head and turned back towards Emily.
"I'll also play Graceful Dice! Let's see what I'll get!"
The die jumped out of the card and it rolled for a few feet. It happened to stop on 4.
"Hell yeah! Red Eyes' attack points go up to 2800!" Joey pointed out. "And now, attack his LP directly!"
[Michael's LP (4400) / Joey's LP (8000)]
His father gripped his shirt, in pain, as Joey shook his head.
"Dad, you don't even know how to play this game, so why even bother?" Joey had to ask as Michael looked up to his son.
"Because I have a damn chance with you. Give it time, and you'll wish that you were never born!"
Mokuba was at home, remembering what his brother said to him an hour ago…
"Mokuba, if we're not back within a hour, call the police and tell them to get to KaibaCorp."
"Brother… Why are you asking the police to get involved?"
"Mokuba…" He turned to his brother, sighing. "I'll tell you later on. It's time that we make Joey and Emily's life a little bit more easier…"
Mokuba looked up at his brother, nodding, and hung the phone up, saying goodbye.
He looked at the phone, and at the clock, and back and forth for a minute.
"Should I? Maybe I should…"
As he was about to grab the phone, the phone started to ring, making Mokuba jump a little in the air. He grabbed the phone and answered it.
"Hello? Kaiba residence."
"Ah, Mokuba! Is your brother there?"
"D-doctor Okaniwa! Why are you calling here?"
"I've got some important information for your brother! It's about Emily's tests."
Mokuba gasped.
"S-seriously? How about you tell me and I'll tell him!"
"Mokuba… This is a serious matter."
"Well, Seto's not here… I'm sorry."
Mokuba heard the doctor sigh over the phone.
"It's okay."
"But… S-seto only told me that something had happened to Emily… And I know that I'm only twelve, and will be thirteen next month, but at least… Emily is my friend, and I want to know what happened!"
Mokuba gripped the phone tighter as the doctor sighed, again.
"I'm at least mature for my age… Just tell me the simple news."
"Mokuba… Alright, but when your brother gets home, make sure he calls me and I'll tell him the bigger details."
Mokuba nodded over the phone-like the doctor could see it.
"That's fine."
"Emily's tests results are very… promising, and it's great news!"
Mokuba gasped as the doctor told him the good news.
"T-thank you! I'll tell him to call you as soon as possible!"
"Alright. Be careful, Mokuba."
Mokuba hung the phone up, a little confused at the "Be careful" part. Mokuba got the phone and called for the police.
"Yes! I need help! Can you please send the police to Kaiba Corporation? And make sure that they have back up!" Mokuba cried out as he seem to have gain confidence from a simple phone call-nonetheless from a doctor.
Yugi and Yami smiled, cunningly, as Feather and Bear disappeared from the duel arena.
"Well, that was too easy." Yami pointed out as Yugi nodded.
"I won't blame you."
They walked away from the field as it started to disappear from existence.
"Let's go find the others!" Yugi suggested as Yami nodded and they started to jog to the castle, following a dirt path.
"Yugi, wait." Yugi stopped as Yami stopped behind him.
"What's wrong?" Yugi uttered, out of breath, as he walked towards Yami.
"Remember what Feather said at the end? More than one life will be sacrificed… If you don't hurry, that is… Emily will need… your help… Yugi, what if Emily is being sacrificed?"
Yugi glanced down at the ground, but shook his head.
"I don't even think that's going to happen! Kaiba, Joey, and Sakura are going to save her and-" Yugi trailed off as he saw Sakura carry his mom's body off to the side, towards a pond. "What the… I think we better move ahead…"
Yami nodded and walked with Yugi at his side.
"So, back to what I was saying…"
"Yugi…" He grabbed Yugi and hugged him (like one of those buddy hugs-you know, when you're walking and you have a friend at your side) by putting his hand over his shoulders. Yugi's face turned red as Yami smiled, noticing the blushing.
"Y-yami! We need t-to get to the o-others!" Yugi stuttered as Yami nodded, not letting go of Yugi.
"Don't worry. We'll be there in a bit, and besides…" He leaned closer to Yugi's ear to whisper, "I want to be with you a little longer."
Yugi put his hands over his cheeks as Yami chuckled, making Yugi blush even redder! Was that even possible? How red can you get before you blow?
Seto's been going down hill, just like Joey's father, as he shook his head.
(Seto's LP-800 / Emily's LP-6100)
[Joey's LP-7200 / Michael's LP-700]
To summarize it: Seto was not getting no monsters at all; Emily was getting a heck of a lot of trap and magic cards that she needed, destroying Seto's defenses. Joey's Red Eyes was destroying his father's LP until his father played Mirror Force, making the battle turn a bit towards Michael's way, but Joey is still holding his focus, unlike Seto.
"Seto! Come on! You can do it! Kick some ass!"
IS what Joey wanted to say, but Emily was also dueling as well, so he didn't know who to cheer for.
"Emily, are you losing your focus?" Seto asked as he drew a card.
"Whatever. Play your card."
"Hmm. I'll lay this monster face down, in defense mode. Also, I'll lay this spell card down." Seto stood straight up.
"Well then, I'll draw!" Emily smiled as it was a Vorse Raider (ATK:1900/DEF:1200). "I'll lay this monster in attack mode-"
"What's going on?" Joey glanced over at the battle as Emily was gripping her chest.
"S-seto!"
Seto's eyes grew as Emily was regaining her composure.
"E-emily! Break her hold on you! Damn it!" Seto called out as Emily held her chest.
"I'm trying… to help out… If I can… I'll try to buy you some time…"
"Emily…" Joey murmured as Seto nodded.
"Just do what you can…"
"Alright… But I need you to know…"
"What? Hurry and tell me!"
"Do you remember… Duelist Kingdom? W-what happened to… you…"
"Duelist Kingdom?" Seto murmured to himself as Emily's possessed self came back-A.K.A. her evil self.
"That damned girl… She'll never interfere no more!" She yelled as Joey turned his body towards his father.
"Well, that was a nice little show, but time to turn your attention back over here." His father called out as Joey sighed.
"Okay, but this is gonna end fast!" Joey drew a card, Axe Raider, and shook his head. "I'll end my turn." Joey only had out Scapegoat.
His father had Lady Assailant of Flames in attack mode, and had already attacked a Scapegoat.
"My turn!" Michael drew a card. "I'll sacrifice my Lady Assailant and put this monster in face down defense mode, and I'll put this magic card down. Your move."
Joey rolled his eyes and drew another card.
"Now this duel is gonna change!" Seto yelled as he drew a card and grinned. "I play Monster Reborn! Bring back Wingweaver!"
Wingweaver appeared on the field, making Emily's eyes grow.
"Attack her Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts!"
It disappeared from her field but since it was in defense mode, she didn't lose no LP.
"Wingweaver…"
"Damned girl! Quit interfering!" She drew a card, Dark Hole. "I'll end my turn."
Emily has a Gemini Elf (ATK:1900/DEF:900) in defense mode and Seto has two spell cards down on his side of the field.
Seto drew his next card, and grinned-possibly killing a puppy in the process.
"I play Goblin Attack Force (ATK:2300/DEF:000) in attack mode!" Goblins showed up on the field-four of them-waiting for Seto's next move. "Attack her Gemini Elf!" The Goblins started to beat down on the monster as Emily shut her eyes, losing nothing. "Now, Wingweaver! Attack her life points-"
"Don't… do it yet…"
Seto's eyes averted to Emily, as she adverted her eyes back to Wingweaver.
"But, why? I am trying to help you you dumb ass!" Seto called out as Wingweaver floated to Seto's height.
"Listen to her… I think she wants you to finish her off when the time comes."
Seto raised an eyebrow.
"Huh? When what time comes?"
"Just wait until she gives you cue."
And with that, Wingweaver floated back to the sky, a bit above Seto. He shook his head as Emily drew a card.
"I'll lay this down, and this in defense mode. I'm done." Emily's voice echoed back as Seto closed his eyes, drawing his next card.
Alright! Slate Warrior! If she summons a monster to attack it, that monster permanently loses 500 attack points!
"Since my goblins have to be put in defense mode, I'll play Slate Warrior (ATK:1900), in attack mode!"
Another monster appeared in front of Seto as Emily put her duel disk in front of her.
"Now, attack her face down Slate Warrior!" The monster slashed his hand through the card, as Seto smiled. "Wingweaver! Attack her life points!"
Emily gripped her chest as Wingweaver flew over to Seto, leaving Emily with less life points than before.
{Emily's LP (3450) / Seto's LP (800)}
Joey smiled in the inside, knowing that Seto was winning and that Emily was going to be back to normal. It could make anyone smile, seeing your friend again, and possibly your love interest, or interests.
"My move!" Joey drew a card, thankfully it was Monster Reborn! "I play Monster Reborn to bring back…" The dragon roared loud and proud as Michael cringed. "My Red Eyes Black Dragon! Ah ha! Now attack his face down monster!"
"Not so fast, son. I play Book of Secret Arts!"
Michael's monster was revealed to be the Illusionist Faceless Mage (ATK:1200/DEF:2200).
"This magic card will raise my mage's defense points by 300!"
"Damn it…" Joey grunted as he lost 100 LP.
"My turn." His father drew a card and smiled. "I play Dian Keto the Cure Master, raising my life points by 1000!"
"WHAT?" Joey freaked out as he relaxed in a heart beat. "No worries! I'll take down those life points as well! My draw!"
Joey drew and looked at his hand.
Huh… Little-Winguard… Not a bad card, but not the best… I need somethin' to get rid of that magic card…
"I'll lay this face down, in defense mode. I'll end my turn."
"Good. I was worried that you lost your focus there." Joey rolled his eyes, ignoring his father, as Michael drew a card.
"Alright, you better pay attention 'cause it's gonna get good now! I'll play this magic card, Rush Recklessly! Since I've only got one monster on the field, Illusionist Faceless Mage gains 700 attack points! And that's going in attack mode."
"But, it's still weaker than my Red Eyes-"
"I'm getting to that, Joseph! I'll activate another magic card named Stop Defense."
Joey's eyes grew as his Little-Winguard was put in attack mode, and face up now.
"Now, Illusionist Mage, attack his Little Winguard!"
The mage chanted a spell, and Joey's monster was destroyed, and set to the graveyard.
"Now, you're down 800 life points!"
"Big woop."
[Joey's LP (6300) / Michael's LP (2700)]
"Red Eyes!" After he drew a card, he turned to his dragon. "Attack the Illusionist Mage!" The dragon obeyed Joey as his father wiped sweat from his forehead, losing 900 LP.
[Michael's LP-1800]
"That's how ya do it-"
"Emily!" Seto cried out as she played Dark Hole, but Seto countered it with Magic Jammer, as she ended her turn, falling to the ground on her knees.
"S-seto!" Emily's real voice called out (AN-you know the voice the Yami Marik had from the Abridged Series, that was her evil voice-FYI). "Don't move! Stay where you are!"
"But, you're hurt!"
Joey turned to watch the other duel, for just a moment. His dad was observing the show as well.
"Don't worry about me! Attack me and… finish me off! Please! I beg of you!" Emily cried out, tears falling from her eyes as Seto turned and looked up at Wingweaver.
"That's the cue. Save her, Seto."
Seto turned to face Emily, down on her knees, and turned to Joey. His eyes were focused at Emily, but when he felt Seto's eyes upon him, he turned to him.
"J-joey… What should I do?" He whispered to himself, not even noticing he called Joey by his real name.
"Seto… Do what you need to do…" Joey whispered to himself as Seto turned his eyes back to Emily, who happened to be standing up now, and made a decision.
"E-emily… Please forgive me." He cried out to Emily as she nodded, knowing what was going to happen.
"I will… It's my fault anyways…" She whispered as a tear escaped his eye.
"Wingweaver! Slate Warrior! Finish this duel once and for all! Attack her life points!" He choked out as Slate Warrior attack her first, then Wingweaver, making Emily's tears disappear, and her smile returned.
{Emily's LP (0000) / Seto's LP (800)}
As the cards disappeared from the area, Emily stayed where she was: silent and unmoving. Seto was a little worried. As he walked over to her, she fell to the ground, not even moving like she was a minute ago.
"EMILY!" Seto called out as he ran to her.
Joey was about to run over to her as his father called out to him.
"Listen! My friend is not fine! Let me go check up on her and-"
"You can't my boy."
Seto held Emily, trying to wake her up, just as Yami and Yugi got there.
"Emily!" Yugi cried out as they ran over to their allies, as Yami turned to see Joey.
"Joey? What in Ra's name is going on here?" Yami asked as Seto walked over to them, Emily in his arms.
"Emily and I were put in a duel, and Joey's dueling his father." Seto didn't know how to explain what was going on.
"Let me explain it for you all." Michael called out as everyone looked up at him, except for Seto. "That girl, Emily, has lost her soul. My organization was after the Pharaoh's friends for such a long time. Emily was the first, and is the beginning of the cycle that'll never end!"
He pulled two cards out of his pocket: one card had a picture of Emily from her chest and up, and the other was Mana, with her eyes closed.
Everyone's eyes grew-Seto had looked over as well-as Yami stepped forward.
"This is going to stop. NOW! When my friend's lives are put in danger, this is going to stop!"
"Sorry, but if Joey wins, he'll get their souls back in one piece. However, if my boy doesn't, then that'll be two for us, and zip for you. Now, it's my move!"
Yami's fists were trembling as Yugi managed to look down at Emily's hand, the one with the ring upon it.
"O-oh no… Her ring…" Yami glanced down at it, Seto as well, as they made a shocking discovery.
"The ring is black still… It's tarnished…" Seto pointed out, softly, as Yami turned to him.
"You couldn't stop this duel? Emily's life is in danger, and now, Seto, so is Joey's! When you told me that you were going to care for them both… I should of known that you were lying to my face!" Yami was almost yelling as Yugi wanted to watch the duel, and cheer his friend on.
"Damn it!" Joey cried out as his father played Swords of Revealing Light on his son. "Ugh… My turn, old man!"
"Seto, if we escape this, alive, then I don't want you to come around Emily or Joey again!"
"Why blame me? She's the one who told me to attack her! BLAME HER!" Seto yelled as Yugi turned to his aibou and his rival.
These two won't settle down… Yami's mad, and now Seto's madder! Geez… When we get out of here, I'm going to be kicking some sense into their thick skulls.
Emily's deck started to glow as Wingweaver appeared in front of them.
"Seto, Emily is fine."
"How the hell do you know? You're just a damn card!" Seto pointed out as she nodded.
"Yes, but Emily is fine. She's asleep and she's in a field, waiting for someone to rescue her."
Seto and Yami stopped their bickering as Yugi walked over to the small group.
"How can we save her?"
She looked down at Yugi and smiled.
"Your friend might be able to."
"Joey?" Yami asked as Seto wondered outloud, "What can that dog do?"
"Save Emily, that's who. If he wins… He won't be able to save her."
Yugi was a little bit confused, as so was the other two.
"But, why?" Yugi asked.
"Because, those cards are fake. Her and Mana's soul are not trapped in those cards, but in another world. Yugi and Seto, do you remember what happened to your souls from half a year ago?"
Both of their eyes grew.
"Are you telling me…" Yugi drifted off as Seto shook his head.
"But t-this is a virtual world, correct? So, her soul couldn't be leaked out into the real world!"
"It's here in this world, but if her soul is in the wrong hands, that soul can be deleted forever and she'll never return to your world and someone from this world can enter her body."
Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say at the matter at hand.
"But, who would have that card now? I thought it was destroyed!" Yugi assured as Yami turned around to see the duel.
"This is a virtual world, and this world takes your memories and plays them in front of you, again. Even the ones you don't like."
"Now Joseph! I will finish this duel once and for all!" His father yelled as he picked a card form his hand and lifted it to the sky. "I will play-"
"-The Seal of Orichalcos!" Everyone, but Joey and Emily, said at the same time as Joey's eyes grew and panic raised onto his face.
Not this again! No… I can't go through this again! Damn it all!
"Joey! Just be very careful and don't lose your focus!" Yugi yelled to Joey as he nodded, and wiped some fear off of his face.
"Y-yeah… I know…" He called out as the field was surrounded by a green seal, making Joey relieve his memories with this card come back.
Sakura was walking back to the castle, her mom defeated into a pulp, as she had to sit down, exhausted and sleepy for some odd reason.
"At least that was taken care off…" She assured to herself as she watch a bright green light appear from the castle. "What the heck?" She flew over to the light as she saw Joey and his father be engulfed by a bright green light.
"Sakura." Seto pipped up as she flew over to him.
"Seto! What happened to Emily, and what's going on?"
Seto put his head down, seeming ashamed, and sighed.
"She lost her soul… And Mana's as well… Joey's father…"
Sakura's fist grew tighter as she floated to the ground. She put her unclenched fist over Emily's forehead, and closed her eyes.
"… Hmmm…"
"What's up?" Yugi wondered as she opened her eyes.
"She's here. Emily, I mean. Her soul is lost in this world, however, she's waiting for someone to save her."
Yugi and Yami looked at each other, seeming to understand. "That is what Wingweaver said to us."
"Can anyone help her?" Yami asked as Sakura nodded.
"I could, but that's only if the outcome of this battle is good."
"I'm confused."
"If Joey loses, he'll be able to find her soul because his soul will be gone to the same place Emily's went to, which is the easiest thing to do. However, if he wins, it'll be tougher because she'll have no one to find in the spirit world…"
Yami and Yugi turned to the battle as Sakura glanced over to Emily as Seto's eyes were closed instead of open after he saw Joey lose more life points.
(Joey's LP-4100 / Michael's LP-1800)
"Seto, if I may say something?" Sakura asked as Joey's father started an evil laugh.
"Now it's all over, son! I play Black Illusion Ritual and sacrifice Girochin Kawagata for Relinquished!"
Yugi's eyes grew as he turned to Yami.
"This duel is just like the one we had with Pegasus! But… Joey's never duel against him…"
"Possibly… Joey has always wanted to be the King of Games?"
Yami crossed his arms as Yugi turned back to Joey.
"You think? Well… It could be anyone's dream…" He leaned over to Yami to whisper, "Like Kaiba's."
Yami smiled as Yugi stayed where he was-next to Yami.
"Shit! Not my Axe Raider!" Joey cried out as Michael's Relinquished absorbed Axe Raider and appeared on the shell of Relinquished.
"Joey! Be careful! He'll use it against you! Don't attack Axe Raider!" Yugi called out as his father turned to Yugi.
"Stay outta this, you puny shrimp!"
Yugi frowned as Yami hugged him, trying to comfort him.
Joey's LP had been brought to 1900-Michael attack his LP-as Michael's was still at 1800.
"My draw!" Joey looked at the card he drew-Cyber Harpie (ATK:1800/DEF:1300)-and played it in attack mode. "Now, I'll play Skull Dice!"
His father watched the die fall to the ground, hoping for four or less.
Please. Something high! Five or six, five or six!
It came up as a 4, meaning that Axe Raider's attack points were 1800, and the same with Cyber Harpie.
"Damn it… Fine! I end my turn."
"Good, and I'll draw…" Michael looked down at his hand and shrugged. "Attack Cyber Harpie!"
(Joey's LP-1500 / Michael's LP-1800)
What's going on? Why am I losin' my focus? Is it 'cause… of Emily?
Joey closed his eyes and drew his next card.
"I'll play Hayabusa Knight, in attack mode!"
"What's he doing?" Seto asked. "That only has 1000 attack points!"
"But don't forget the special ability. He can attack twice in one turn." Yugi pointed out as Seto nodded, rolling his blue eyes.
"Well that must have been the dumbest thing you've ever done! Attack his knight!"
"Not so fast father! Activate Kunai with Chain! I'll put Relinquished in defensive mode, and that ends your turn!" Joey smiled as Yugi cheered him on.
"Alright Joey! That's it!"
"My turn ol' man!" Joey drew a card and nodded. "I'll put Hayabusa Knight in defense mode and end my turn."
"That's it? Whatever." He draws. "I'll play this-" (Kiseitai (ATK:300/DEF:800) ) "-in defense mode, face down, and I'll put Relinquished back in attack mode! Say g'bye to your knight!"
"No!" Joey yelled as his Hayabusa Knight disappeared from the field as Joey sighed, thanking himself for putting it in defense mode. But now, Joey had no monsters on the field.
"Well, make your final move, buster!" His father cried out as his friends turned to face Joey, possibly for the last time.
Come on heart of th' cards! Show me some lovin'!
He drew and got Ookazi.
Thanks cards… Dandy…
"I will play Ookazi! Making you lose 800 life points!"
(Joey's LP-1500 / Michael's LP-1000)
"And now, let me finish this up once and for all!" His father called out as Joey put his head down in shame.
"J-joey! Don't give up now!" Yugi cried out as Yami put his hand on Yugi's shoulder. He shook his head.
Seto looked up at his crush, his only true crush, and wanted to save him as well. He couldn't save Emily, so he didn't want the other closest thing to him be taken from him!
"P-puppy…" Seto's eyes never left Joey's face as his father smiled.
"Alright. I'll put myself on the field, as the deck master, and I'll finish this once and for all by my hands!" His father pierced the sword through Joey and he cried out in pain as every last life point was taken away from him.
His father did a back flip towards his side of the field as Joey fell to the ground, onto his knees, and didn't say anything.
"Now, the seal will claim your soul, and that soul within yours too!" Joey's head lifted up as he glanced down to Yugi, his friend.
"Y-yug'…" Yugi looked up as Joey threw something at him, making him catch it with both hands.
"Damn you! Damn you Joey!" Michael yelled as the seal closed around Joey even more.
"Take that ring, Yug'! Keep Mahad save… for me!" Yugi nodded, shedding a tear, as the seal closed Joey around it, and within seconds his soul would be gone.
Emily… I'm sorry… If I ever see ya again… I hope that ya will forgive me.
"J-joey!" His head shot up as Seto-holding Emily-was crying, again. "Find her… Please Joey!" Seto was… begging? THE Seto Kaiba was begging? Man, if Joey had a video camera to record this, but Joey nodded.
"I will. I promise you, Seto."
Seto's eyes stopped the tears as Joey fell to the ground, a empty shell once again, as Joey's last words echoed through Seto's head.
AN-Whatcha think? YAY for cliffys! Just kidding.
The duel scenes were weird, I think, but not too shabby. I put the duel scenes-where there were breaks-and tried to make it real life.
Review please!
