Author's Note: I'm so sorry that I took this long to update this story. First I had a major writer's block. Then my friend (treeclimber2) helped me to get out of the writer's block and come up with how the chapter should go. Then I couldn't get the words to come out right. Then I wrote this and I didn't get a chance to put ot up for about a month. So here's the next chapter of this story.
'thoughts'
The Man With An Eye
Martin Mancino was sitting in a dark room. All of the lights were turned off. He appears to be deep in thought.
'It's been a few years since I gained control of Industrial Illusions when Maximillon Pegasus died. I wonder when someone will solve the Millennium Puzzle . I was given the Millennium Eye five Years Ago. '
Suddenly, a man in a dark-colored suit, one of Mancino's bodyguards, enters the room, cutting off Mancino's musings. "Sir, someone has solved the Millennium Puzzle, Yusei Fudo, the King of the Duelists in Neo Domino City.
Mancino thought back to the events that lead up to the gaining of his Millennium Eye.
*Flashback 6 Years Ago*
Mancino is riding in an airplane with his wife, Christine and young daughter, Meg. He has just become the head of Industrial Illusions after Pegasus died in his sleep the night before.
"Daddy, could you duel me when we get back home?" Meg said.
"Maybe, I'm very tired though."
"Please, Daddy, Please"
"Alright, I'll duel you when we get back home. "
The flight goes along peacefully for a while after that. Little Meg talks nonstop to her parents during the flight.
Suddenly, there is a disturbance.
The pilot makes an announcement.
"I'm sorry. We are experiencing some disturbance. We might have to make an emergency landing so everybody must put on their seat belts."
Everybody in the plane buckles up.
"Mommy I'm scared" Meg says to her mother.
"It's okay everything will be alright."
Suddenly, the plane starts to shake wildly.
"Passengers, this is the pilot speaking. We have lost all control of the plane. We may crash land sometime soon, stay in your seats. I repeat, stay in your seats at all times. "
The small plane starts to dive towards the ground. It's headed for an open field surrounded on all sides by a forest.
The plane crashes into the ground, front end first, when it touches the ground the engine explodes.
Martin Mancino stands in the wreckage of the plane. He was not badly by the explosion, but he is looking for his wife and daughter who were sitting in front of him on the plane.
"Christine! Meg! Christine!Meg!"
Suddenly, he sees his wife weakly moving in the wreckage of the plane.
"Christine!"
"Martin"
"Christine, hang on."
"It's too late. Promise me that you'll keep going with your life after this."
"Yes, I will, I promise"
"Good, I….Love….You."
And with those words Christine Mancino died.
"Noooooooooooo!"
"Meg!Meg!Meg!"
Mancino yelled searching for the one remaining member of his family.
He started to search through the wreckage for Meg.
"Meg! Meg!"
Then he saw her, stuck underneath a giant piece of metal.
Somehow he manages to move the piece of metal off of her.
"Meg!"
She does not move. Mancino becomes filled with dread when he realizes that she is not breathing.
"Nooooooooooooo!"
'Everything important to me has been taken away from me. Why? Why?'
'I have to go on with life though I promised Christine that I would.'
*1 Year Later-Egypt*
Mancino has come to Egypt to look at all of the tombs and places that inspired Pegasus to create Duel Monsters.
A man approaches him. He looks at Mancino for a moment and then he starts to speak.
"You are Martin Mancino. Come with me, I will show you something that Pegasus saw when he came to Egypt years ago."
'I guess I can follow him he looks harmless enough.'
Mancino follows the mysterious man down several alleys and through twisting streets. Then the man went down a set of steps leading into the ground.
Mancino enter a room. There was a table that had several ancient looking items sitting on it.
"You have come here hoping to discover something of the past, have you not?"
Mancino turned to face the speaker, a man in a turban and robe.
"Yes"
"I am Shadi. You have come here searching for a way to bury your pain and to discover what drove Pegasus to introduce Duel Monsters to the rest of the world."
"Yes"
Suddenly, Shadi reached down and picked up one of the items on the table, a golden eye.
"Perhaps this can help you to find what you seek, if you are worthy to use it, the Millennium Eye."
Mancino, to shocked to move, didn't protest when Shadi approached him and held the Millennium Item up to his eye.
Mancino screamed in pain, as the Millennium Item attached itself to his eye.
"You are the true wielder of the Millennium Eye. Now you may us its power. "
Suddenly, a vision of Christine and Meg appears in front of Mancino.
"Christine, Meg"
Mancino reaches out toward them before they disappear.
He falls on his knees.
"No, where did they go."
"They were never really here, but you may be able to find a way to bring them back."
'I will, I promise that I'll find a way to bring both of you back."
*Present Day*
'And I intend to keep that promise, using the power of the Millennium Items. '
Martin Mancino smiled evilly.
Author's Note: Yes, The chapter is finally done. Now I just have to write the next one.
Also, I got Mancino's wife and daughter's names from Phantom of the opera. Why? Because I couldn't think of any other names and I was listening to the song Phantom of the Opera while writing this chapter. I love that musical.
Anyway, virtual cookie to whoever can guess who from the original Yu-Gi-Oh series Martin Mancino is based on.
