spiritfire:...Merry christmas
XXVI. Protect!
Everyone stared in shock and Yami stared at him. He couldn't believed what he just said even Rinoa heard it despite the horrible tears she poured down. Did Yugi threatened Noah just now? Or was it just his well-being imagination. One thing for sure, his silver eyes flared up would mean one thought: He's really angry and pissed. Magician Valkyria and Dark Magician Girl stare at their master who apparenly wouldn't believed it either.
Noah could only stare as what Yugi said registered his head. From his shocked expression to anger stare, he wouldn't accept such a little threat from the spiky-haired boy.
"You really think that would threatened me?" Noah asked him. "Think again!".
He began to charge him intending to slash him but Yugi quickly released the Apprentice Rod and used it as a shield. Noah tried to break it but it was no use. The rod seems unbreakable. Noah decide to use at least one of his spells.
"Waterpulse!" Noah chanted as his trademark water spell aimed at Yugi but he brushed it off with the Apprentice Rod as if he was hitting it like a pinata. Rinoa couldn't believe it. To someone who has no magic could repel an attack like that.
"Is that all you can do?" Yugi asked him, spatting every word he said. "Then it's my turn now!".
Yugi raised his staff and energy began to build up. Noah suddenly felt the tremor as the magic itself is growing then black enrgy began to pulsate. He was ready to take aim when silver aura began to emanate then he began yo launch the strike.
"Gravity!" Yugi chanted as he fried the black energy at Noah. He tried to sliced it but it was too strong that it trapped him like a mouse then the black energy shrunk itself squezzing his body like a rotten orange. Finally, the energy spit him out and Noah fell down on his kness. Kaiba glared at his stepbrother with disbelief. He didnt know what to do anymore.
"Flower Shadow Dance!" Noah chanted and Yugi knew it was the same technique he just used to damage Yami but even though he knew he could protect himself, he couldn't help Yami either because he was trapped within the Chain of Fate Noah casted. He didn't want to see bloodshed again...he didn't want to see anymore tears and definitely, he didn't want to suffer like this. As the shadow blades began to fall, he clutched the Apprentice Rod very tight, preparing to get hit.
"Dark, what the hell are you doing? Get out of here while you still can!" Kaiba yelled, feeling worried all over but Yugi refused to listen as the blades were coming closer to hit but all of a sudden, the rod itself began to glow. Purple light began to emanate the entire room as all of them were blinded by its light. No one know what's going on until the light faded by itself. When the blades began to fall, dust began to cover around them. Rinoa and Squall were worried that Yugi was perished.
"This will teach you----." Noah said as his sentence was cut of when he saw something familiar. Yugi stared and gasped that he wasn't even damaged one bit. Out from the dust itself was Dark Magician Girl who used her shield spell against Noah's technique. As for the Apprentice Rod, Yugi's weapon became green and tall. The tip has a green orb crystal at the center.
"Don't you dare-----don't you dare hurt my master!" she spat and Yugi looked up to see one of the seven magicians came.
"Mana!" Yugi gasped and she smiled. "My master is here!!! I think you know him."
Yugi stared above him and saw someone. He was wearing purple robes and hat and everything then he smiled at the spiky-haired boy. He stared for a few moments then glared.
"You moronic magician!" Yugi yelled and everyone began to sweatdropped since they didn't know what he was talking about. The purple mage suddenly gulped.
"What!" Mahaado wailed and Yugi frowned.
"What do you mean, 'what' Mahaado!!!, You gave me too much trouble with you dying and Yami suffering from Noah and me losing my voice. YOU'RE GONNA GET PUNISHED BIG TIME!!!!!." Yugi yelled again and Mana sweatdropped but at the same time, she was grinning. She never thought her master would get punished big time.
"How did you know my real name?" the purple mage asked.
"I read 'that' book back in Alexandria. I knew something's different about you but enough of that. Would you mind telling me your powers?" Yugi replied sarcastically then calmed himself down."Just because you came to help doesn't mean you're going to get away with it. I'll tell Yami about this and you're still gonna get punished!".
Mahaado gulped once again and sighed. "Fine...my spells are the same as my apprentice but three of your spells became level two, you should know this.". Yugi nodded and faced Noah who was staring in disbelief.
"What the heck are you talking just now?" Noah asked, his eye twitched.
"None of your goddamn business!" Yugi spat in reply.
"Noah's Ark!" Noah chanted but Yugi began to counter his spell.
"Not so fast! Spell Breaker!" he countered as the seal appeared on the floor breaking the spell Noah just cast. He stared in shock and couldn't believe that his powerful spell was just destroyed in an instant.
"Mana, why don't you play with him for a while?" Yugi said and the mage was happy, ready to fight. The spiky-haired boy went to Yami and using the pressure of his hand, he slashed the chains and Yami's body was dropped on the floor. He inspected his wounds and it seems that it looks bad.
"Magnus Eria Cresedia!" Yugi chanted and white lights appeared above him. The white lights began to enter the prince's wounds and one by one all of his wounds were gone except for his black wings that was recently emerged from his back.
"Amazing, his healing magic is high class not even my magic could compete with that!" Rinoa commented to her husband and he agreed as well. Kaiba who was just there heard it.
"What are you talking about?" Kaiba asked and Rinoa quickly shut her mouth.
"I'll explain later, right now the only thing we can do is watch." Squall said and the two of them agreed.
"Majority of his wounds are fully healed but----" Yugi said as he took a glance on Yami's wings. "I can't heal major wounds just yet!".
"Mana, Dark Burning!" Yugi commanded and she smiled mischievously as she began to charge her staff with a combination of pink and black energy then she fired it at full blast, damaging Noah all over his body and it sent him flying backward. Dark Magician Girl vanished after that.
"You..." Noah scowled. "I'll burn you to ashes, you lead me no choice but to use Kagemune's true form!"
"Kagemune's true form?" Yugi asked himself. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?".
"Kagemune Kooragi!" Noah commanded and suddenly the entire field became pitch-black. Yugi looked left and right and wondering what gives. Noah on the other hand giggled then stared at the spiky-haired boy. Shadows began to dance around his sword and Yugi tighten the grip of his staff. Kaiba, Squall and Rinoa were on the outside wondering what's happening.
"Time to finish this so that I can get rid of Yami!" Noah said in his boring voice as he prepared himself for the attack. Shadows began to slithe around the sword and at the sane time, petals began to flow around. Yugi's eyes were wide open and stares at his opponent but he disappeared all of a sudden.
"Oh shit!" Yugi mentally cursed himself as his head kept moving left and right. He tries to sense his presence but to no avail when one of the shadows snuck behind his back but Yugi jumped out of the way.
"...There's something familiar about this...but I can't put my finger on it." Yugi thought and out of his instinct, he closed his eyes and began to concentrate. He knew that he can't afford himself to get hurt let alone leaving Yami alone. Dark Magician appeared in his mind and Yugi stared at him .
"What!" Yugi said, frowning.
"I didn't know you were smarter than I can imagined so I'll help you a bit." Mahaado said as he went to the mage a little closer. "I know what you're trying to do, basicaly, you were trying to recall about that attack, hmmm?". Yugi nodded and the magician sighed and kneeled down beside him.
"Let you heart do the concentration and nothing must be on your mind. Finding you oppenent's moves will depend on their skill. Concentration and focus is an utmost importance!" Mahaado said and Yugi did as he was told.
"You know you're going to get punished later! Don't think you can escape!" Yugi said, reminding him.
"I was hoping you would say that." the purple mage said and Yugi went back to his concentration. So far, all he could see is shadows and nothing but pitch-black darkness. There was no sound and the air was humid. Nothing ...there was nothing in this darkness. Yugi felt falling himself down and then his eyes suddenly shot itself open.
"Wait a minute, it's similar to Yami's powers back in Cresent forest. Come to think of it, I saw those black wings back then. It wasn't a illusion but...I really can't bear any pain he has to go...Is this what true darkness is?" Yugi said as he sensed something like a glitch. Something's coming this way.
"Hane Kage Odori (Flower Shadow Dance)!" Noah chanted and shadow petals began to appear in every angle. Yugi quickly dodged the attack with hi speed and when the petals are trying to hit him , he simply used Fire Slash to blow it away.
"Playtime is over! Eran Cialsis!" Yugi shouted and the field began to dispel. The blast began to emanate and it destroyed the roof of the building. Squall began to frown very hard and a bulging vein appeared on his forehead.
"You guys are so gonna pay this!!!" Squal yelled but nobody paid any attention to him at all. Yugi glared at Noah as the blast itself dissipates. Noah was hurt due to Yugi's spell but as for the spiky-haired boy, he wasn't hurt not even a bit. Yami stared for a moment and tries to stand up but his back gave a dose of pain that he has to stay down.
Because Noah's technique didn't work, the two of them began to clash their weapons. Hit by hit, might after might and still no damage among them. Yugi thinks he has to finish this but Noah began to cast another spell aiming at him.
"Chain of Fate!" Noah chanted but Yugi countered it with his Spell Breaker Spell to render it useless. Noah began a barage of the spells plus his Hana Kage Odori. This time, Yugi can't escape because every angle was close. He closed his eyes knowing he would get hit ny the impact but suddenly nothing came at all. Much to his shock, Yami grabbed him just time despite the pain on his back.
"Yami, what are you doing? You're not supposed to be up!" Yugi said worriedly but the prince didn't care when a twitching pain on his back sends him falling down.
"Time to end this, Eran Judgementia!" Yugi chanted and a balancing scales appeared out of mowhere. On the right was Noah apparently trying to get down but it was no use and on the other side was a white feather. The teen began to approach him without anything to worry.
"Before I kill you, I'll ask you: Did you murder Kisara?" Yugi asked as every word he said was acid and venomous. Everyone wondered what does Noah has something to do with this.
"What if I did?" Noah asked, sneering but Yugi didn't buy it. He began to laughed crazily and his eyes were in a weird look plus his mind nonetheless was a little blank with craziness.
"You murdered her because you were jealous of Seto so you're trying to dispose of us by threatening Mokuba, trying to pry my mind with your own spell plus hurting Yami in front of my very two eyes. I WILL NOT FORGIVE YOU!" Yugi spat and everyone reeled in shock and the scales began to lower itself . The ground began to crack and a fiery lava pit appeared.
"NOAH!!!!!" Kaiba yelled angrily and was about to beat him up when Squall stopped him. The blue-eyed teen turned on him and the headmaster shook his head.
"But since we're in the premises of Headmaster Squall, he'll be the one to decide your sentence!" Yugi glared and Squall lowered his head.
"Noah, you used magic which is forbidden and trying to kill our guests plus murdered Kisara. You lead me no choice but to sentence you to death!" Squall declared and Noah's face turned pale.
"No, you can't do this!" Noah yelled in exasperstion but Yugi raised his staff and began the spell that will eliminate him to obilivion.
"That's enough, I told you this before when you hurt Yami, I'll crush your body and heart alive!!!! Eran Judgementia Eide!" Yugi shouted in anger and shadows began to appear out of nowhere that it covered the entire field. No one can see anything but all they heard was a piercing scream which is Noah himself is dead. The fog began to clear and the scales vanished. Yugi picked Yami up and began to leave the building.
"Wait!" Rinoa said but Yugi turned around and glared at her. She gasped and her body bacame numb.
"If you want to know the whole story, ask Mokuba and as for us we're leaving. We don't want to cause any trouble to you anymore." Yugi said but the headmaster stepped forward.
"I'm sorry that this has happened to you...please stay a bit longer for your friend to heal his wounds. Rinoa can teach him how to use those wings of his." Squall stated and that caught all of them in surprise.
"Headmaster, what's going on?" Kaiba asked and he heaved a long suffering sigh.
"The reason I forbid magic in this continent is I don't want THIS to happen!" Squall replied, indicating the recent happenings. Yugi turned his glare to the headmaster and stared intently. "And yet, I wasn't able to prevent it."
"So basically, you didn't stop him?" Yugi asked and Squall nodded. He thought about it and sighed. "Fine under one condition, I'll be the one to keep an eye on Yami, no one else and if anyone dares to cross the line, it'll be my job to dispose it!".
As the fight ends, the first snow began to fall. Yugi's silver eyes didn't fade so he handed Yami to Rinoa. Squall and Kaiba decided to hear the story from Mokuba. The snow continues to fall as the dead of a stepbrother will be forever be erased in the memory.
