Hey guys! I'm gonna try to add in more capsule monsters besides Mokuba's. They'll have to be made up since there are only a few of them that are mentioned in the manga. I did start with ones that were from the manga and made up one in particular. It's also time I had Mokuba appear. Review please!
Two monsters were fighting each other in the midst of the forest. One monster looked like a huge Cockroach with two legs and arms with gloves, and the other looked like a monkey with a ninja outfit. They were both fighting and the monkey seemed to be winning, by hitting the bug's weak points. At the back, was Mokuba with an exciting grin and Mkalburti who held a smirk and crossed arms.
"I use Ninja Monkey's special ability with quick reflects and hits Cockroach Beast off the field!" Mokuba declared as Ninja Monkey, in a flash, punched and kicked Cockroach Beast and the bug fell to the ground and disappeared. "ALRIGHT! Who's the Capsule Monster King now?"
"It's San-Si King," Mkalburti rephrased.
"Whatever," Mokuba replied in annoyance while rolling his eyes. He turned to his ancient spirit. "Look, if you're gonna hang around me, can ya at least let me have my fun?"
Mkalburti giggled while rolling his eyes before replying, "alright."
Mkalburti and Mokuba walked side by side through the forest and finally came toward a huge stone building. It was large and made of marble with columns all around. For Mkalburti, this was the most amazing structured building he had ever seen. For Mokuba, he thought the building seemed strange. A smirk grew on his face and he entered inside the place curiously.
"Careful, there could be traps in here," Mkalburti warned.
"I know what I'm doing!" Mokuba glared, walking deeper into the building. In the middle, was a pedestal holding some sort of jewelary. It was strange looking. It was gold with three different colored diamonds on it, or what looked like diamonds. One was red, one was green, and one was blue. "Since when do diamonds have different colors?"
"They're not diamonds, Mokuba," Mkalburti corrected as Mokuba raised his eyebrows. "This one is sapphire." The ancient spirit pointed to the blue diamond-like object on the necklace. He then pointed to the red one. "This one is ruby." Then pointed to the green. "And this one's emerald."
"Wow, you're smart for an ancient spirit."
"That's what you get out of wisdom," Mkalburti bragged with his arms crossed. "You learn things through life."
"Don't you get that in school?"
Mkalburti chuckled and replied, "yes, but you learn more through life. Like for instants, I learned that priceless stones like these can unleash power."
"How?"
"Only for those who receive powerful magic," Mkalburti explained as he took the necklace, which held the three precious stones. "I have died ages ago, you must win this to win the game."
"Why?"
"You have magic inside you, Mokuba. What makes this game different from Capsule Monsters, is that in San-Sin, there are different challenges you must face."
"Like what?"
"Fighting challenges, ones that give you a power boost if you win them. Only the true warrior can use this magic."
"But I'm just a kid! Why would any kind of magic be of any use to me?" Mokuba asked as Mkalburti chuckled, still holding the necklace.
"Because only you can defeat the one who started this shadow game in the first place..." Mkalburti replied before widening his eyes and shook his head. "Scratch that. You and your friends. A warrior was never meant to fight alone."
"I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be Yugi's job," Mokuba said grimly with folded arms.
"Have you ever thought that maybe there's more than always relying on other people to fight the battles? Have you ever wanted to be part of it?"
"I guess," Mokuba shrugged before looking at his hands. "I just... never had that come to mind. I mean... Yugi's always been the great hero and all. I've never been one before... or thought about it."
"We all have a true hero inside us all. It just all depends when we're ready to let it out. Even Yugi once relied on the pharaoh to protect him. Though, he will stand as a true warrior. Even the pharaoh once relied on his father to protect him, but he emerged as a true warrior you know of."
"I guess. You really think I can be this true warrior you were talking about?" Mokuba asked happily as Mkalburti gave a nod and put the necklace around the boy.
At that moment, all the opened areas were replaced with walls, which made Mokuba gasp. The whole building had suddenly turned into an arena, without the audience or the bleachers. A part of the wall opened and a giant bull with hands and legs, holding an ax, emerged and made a loud wailing sound. Mokuba made a loud scream.
"AHHHHH! YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!" Mokuba accused as Mkalburti.
"I said that there would be a fighting challenge in order to earn power, do you ever pay attention?" Mkalburti asked grimly before shaking his head. "Anyway, you have to destroy this Minotaur before that battle ax slices you in half!"
"WHAT!" Mokuba cried before the battle ax swung toward him and he ran out screaming. "AHHHH!" The ax banged against the wall without a scratch. "OH COMMON! THIS IS NOT A FAIR GAME!"
"It's a Shadow Game, of course it's fair."
"WOULD YOU SHUT UP! I'M RUNNING FOR MY LIFE HERE!" Mokuba shouted at the spirit before dodging another swipe of the ax. "AHH! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE THIS GREAT WARRIOR WHEN I CAN'T EVEN SAVE MY OWN SKIN?" He dodged another swipe of the ax. "HEEEEELP MEEEEE!"
Seto gasped at that particular moment while him and the others were wandering through the forest. He could sense Mokuba in danger. Unfortunately, he knew nothing of his little brother's whereabouts and neither did this so called spirit who looked exactly like him. Joey spotted an egg-shaped rock that held a number 4 and touched it. Out of it, emerged a large cloaked figure with a skull with horns.
"ALRIGHT! I got myself a Capsule Monster!" Joey celebrated excitedly as the monster turned into a bullet-shaped stone and he placed it in his belt.
"It's a San Monster, you dult!" Pharaoh Seth corrected as everyone gave him a blinking look.
"I'm guessing this shadow game is based on the game Capsule Monsters, am I correct?" Yami asked.
"Yes. We never called it Capsule Monsters. This is a San-Si Game. Compared to Capsule Monsters Chess, we don't play this game like Chess. We play it like what you call a 'role-playing game,'" Pharaoh Seth explained. Everyone seemed confused, except for Yami. "Look, it's simple. On each side of the field, there's a true warrior. There is our warrior, who fights like the king. If he's taken out, it's over."
"Still sounds like chess to me," Tristan said.
"I'M NOT FINISHED YET!" Pharaoh Seth snapped as Joey widened his eyes and blinked. "Anywho, we each are like knights, fighting for the king, or the warrior. The true warrior can boost himself up with simple challenges, making him more powerful. He's the most powerful warrior in the game. The rest of us can only do what we're doing: collecting and gathering San Monsters and fight off other San Monsters, sent by our enemy warrior. We must take down our enemy warrior to win."
"So it's just like Chess," Joey smirked as Pharaoh Seth's head started boiling.
"IT'S NOT LIKE CHESS!" Pharaoh Seth shouted aloud.
"And you geeks say I have a temper," Seto smirked.
"Actually Kaiba, no offense, but you're ten times worse than the ancient you over here," Tristan corrected with a slight smirk.
"But wait, who is our true warrior?" Yami asked, noticing the missing link of the game. "Seth just said that we have a true warrior, who is the most powerful of them all."
"That's easy. You, being the pharaoh and all," Joey replied.
"All who want the pharaoh as the king say..." Tristan announced as Pharaoh Seth slapped him on the back of the head.
"You peasants are more pathetic than I thought. You don't vote on who's the true warrior. The warrior chooses who fights for him," Pharaoh Seth explained as if Joey and Tristan were the dumbest people on the planet.
"Peasants, nice. I'll give you credit on insulting," Seto smirked, complimenting the former pharaoh.
"So, who's our true warrior?" Yugi asked. He looked up at Yami's cousin. "Is it you?"
"Once was long ago," Pharaoh Seth replied before a slight smirk appeared on his lips. "Then it was my son, Mkalburti. Now... it's someone else."
"Then why don't you tell us? We're all ears," Seto glared with folded arms as Pharaoh Seth sighed deeply.
"It's your brother," Pharaoh Seth replied as Seto's eyes bulged wide open. "In other words, he must face the different challenges and become the true warrior. After that, he'll have to face our opponent's true warrior, the same enemy fought by me and my son. It... won't be easy."
"You snake! You mean to tell me my little brother is fighting some lunatic all because your freakin' son decided to drag him into this?" Seto yelled, pointing his index finger at Pharaoh Seth.
"Look, it was neither me or my son's fault. This was made known for 3000 years. Your brother was chosen to play this game 3000 years before your existance. He's destined for greatness."
"Wait, Mokuba? Destined for greatness?" Joey asked dumbfounded.
"The weakest are always least expected to rise up. Even I was destined to be Pharaoh and never knew about it until it happened. He knew about it! That's why he challenged Mokuba in the first place! Scratch that... forced him into it. If Mokuba doesn't win, my son and I will forever be left unrested, including my cousin," Pharaoh Seth explained, sticking his thumb at Yami.
"Wait, didn't you and your son force us into this?" Tea asked glaringly with her fists on her hips.
"Yes, we brought you all here, but if we didn't, you all would've received a penalty game," Pharaoh Seth replied as everyone stood blinkingly. "The game started when those two geezers made themselves known. Where they are, I have no clue!"
"So, when Grandpa and Professor Hawkins showed up, that started the shadow game," Yugi realized. He sighed in depression.
"Listen, if your grandpa is the one who's the reincarnate of Shimon, than he'll be just fine. That old geezer has been through worse than this," Pharaoh Seth assured as Yugi looked up, halfly awestruck by the fact that his grandpa or Professor Hawkins had an ancient spirit, and nodded. "Nice reincarnate, Pharaoh. Perhaps you get give him your guts. He's gonna need it."
