Chapter XXXVIII. Incantation
Valkyria sighed and breathed as she began her story. "It all happened on that day….."
Flashback:
Yugi was eleven years old and at that time his incantation spells are on the near master level due to the fact that his intelligence far exceed to any ordinary mage. His guardian was pleased at his progress.
"I can't believe how much years have passed. Very soon, you'll be able to master the incantation spells then the most powerful and forbidden spells…." His guardian said, feeling a little giddy. Yugi just rolled his eyes.
"Ah come on, I'm not as good as you," Yugi said, staring at him. The person in question was a man with silver hair with brown eyes wearing a cloak of red. "Besides, you're a sage for crying out loud plus your magic is still way better than me."
The man chuckled lightly. "Anyway, you're dismissed and tomorrow, you'll be starting mastering your first high-level incantation spell." Yugi was glad and left the classroom.
"So you mean to tell us it all started when Yugi was about to master his high-level incantation spells?" Sora asked and Valkyria nodded.
"In the past, all his teachers regard him as a 'genius' mage due to the fact that he can demonstrate magic so well that some mages of his class were jealous and also the fact that he's the adopted son of the High Sage Guardian of the Solarian continent." she said as she recalled.
"So what happened after that?" Mahaado asked.
"Well…." Valkyria said, narrowing her eyes
After class, Yugi went to the library with tons of books on the table and as usual, he was reading his favourite book: The Tales of Lunar. Flipping the pages one at a time, he read until he saw some words that would make him fall on his seat.
"A prince who had lightning spikes at the top of his head and violet eyes with a serious expression on his face was born….."
"What the hell….?" Yugi asked himself until he saw something at the front of the book he was reading, he chipped it out a little until to his shock, the title was not actually 'Tales of Lunar' but rather 'History of Lunar'. "Interesting…so the 'darkness' spawned in the Lunarian Continent."
"WHAT!!!!!" Atemu yelled, dropping his jaw in shock even Mana and Mahaado were taken by surprise.
"Oh my, does that mean that Yugi knew everything about the entire Lunarian Continent and maybe 'his' (Yami) existence?" Sora asked.
"Fortunately, no but ever since then he used that story as an inspiration to get stronger and he believed that this person exists although it was not yet proven. Little did he know," Here she cast her eyes on the ground. "that the emotion seal is growing stronger."
"What does the emotion seal has something to do with this?" Mahaado asked.
"You remember what master said about it, right? Actually, it's more on just using negative emotions as a source of power." Valkyria said, firmly.
"And that is?" Mana asked.
"Using the 'heart' as a source of power, removing any unnecessary emotions: Happiness, Friendship and all positive emotions you can think of and also fear was instilled there as well like feeling the power of a tremendous aura," Valkyria replied, looking very pale.
"How did you know all this?" Sora asked.
"I saw it inside my master's subconciousness and I was really surprise when I first saw it then you remembered finding out about one emotion that my master doesn't have right?" Valkyria replied and Sora realized what it is.
"Now I understand about why Yugi was clutching the seal when the pharaoh's coffin was opened but what about the barrier and those 'wings'?" Sora asked, emphasizing the point.
"The 'wings' well actually I don't know anything about it. It's the first time I saw it. As for the barrier, it was an act of defense," Valkyria replied grimly.
"An act of defense???" Atemu asked and Valkyria sighed.
The next day, Yugi was about to go to his guardian's classroom when he was stopped a couple of bullies. Most of them were in Yugi's class and from the looks of it; something bad is going to happen. Knowing Yugi, he felt that he was labelled as 'Kick Me' or something like that.
"Hey squirt, where ya going? The 'dork' class!" said a man wearing black robes and had short brown hair. Yugi didn't say any word so the bullies decided to take the insults to another level well actually in a physical way.
"Oh you won't say anything then about this…." Another student said as he pummelled Yugi at the stomach. "Some 'genius' you are hahahahahahaha!!!". And he continued punching him several times until….
Yugi felt weak for a second and as the student was about to use an incantation spell, he automatically jumped up, curled himself and a barrier was released. As the bully finished his incantation, he blasted him but unfortunately, the barrier was too strong and all of a sudden, two portals appeared on the floor. One was a Yugi look-alike but was wearing a light robe and the other was another Yugi look-alike but this time, he was wearing dark robes. And both of them don't seem to be happy.
"I don't want to hurt you…" Light Yugi said.
"But now you will pay the price….," Dark Yugi said and with a tremendous blast of light, Dark Yugi 'destroyed' them or rather obliterated in more specific terms.
"What's going on?" Yugi's guardian asked until he saw the barrier with the two Yugi look-alikes.
"Ah, another prey is it?" Dark Yugi chuckled. "Graviga!"
"What the—how did he knew about those elemental spells???" Yugi's guardian asked himself as he used his Shellga magic to protect himself from damage. Dark Yugi was about to cast another spell but the guardian quickly use his Silence magic to disabled all the spells temporarily.
"Here let me help you…" Light Yugi said but the guardian quickly cast his Silence Spell once again.
"I call upon the mighty heavens and seal everything in thy name!" he chanted and a star seal appeared at Dark Yugi's feet then next he chanted another incantation to Light Yugi with the same incantation but this time it's light was way different. The two elements force themselves to merge together and with the last amount of energy, he pushed it back inside the real Yugi. The barrier was broken and Yugi fell.
"What happened?" Yugi asked as he stood up.
"You mean you have no idea what happened?" his guardian asked. Yugi just shook his head.
"Why did you ask?" the spiky-haired said, his head filled with question marks.
"Nothing, let's get started. " his guardian said and the two of them went to the classroom.
"Wow, I can't believe this!" Sora gasped as Valkyria ended up the story. Neither did Mana and Mahaado as well.
"So what now?" Atemu asked.
"Any moment now, the two elementals will arrive and then big trouble…" Valkyria sighed.
"Um, there's something I like to ask you, Your Majesty…" Sora said and Atemu was curious. The Keyblade Master held his weapon and it glowed a little then he closed his eyes and suddenly, there was Yami and the pharaoh gasped.
"Do you know who he is?" Sora asked and Atemu sighed then chuckled.
"Yes I do. In fact, he's my doppelganger and here I never thought a imitation of mine would survive after the destruction of the desert continent." Atemu smirked and the Keybalde Master was not impressed.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW FORBIDDEN IT IS?" Sora said in anger which caught Mana in surprised.
"Um master what did he meant by 'forbidden'?" she asked and Mahaado's face was grave.
"It's true that this kind of magic is forbidden but actually he has a reason for this," Mahaado replied. "And that is ….actually…not letting other people get the power of the pharaoh and the Millenium Items."
"The Millennium Items???" Sora questioned.
"3000 years ago, the Pharaoh and six faithful priests used to wield those items but eventually all of the six priests were dead. In order to save the continent, the pharaoh used all the power of the seven items using the forbidden spell to destroy our enemies but for a big cost." Mahaado replied sadly. "He has to die and his powers were stripped in half. And also, he ….lost something much worse….his golden wings….and half of his memories."
"That's some cost you got…." Sora commented.
"It is and now to think that he's here of all places. It must be fate or something like that." Atemu shrugged.
"Okay, now that we know about the reason Yugi acted like this but now...how are we going to snap him out of it?" Sora said but before anyone could answer, two portals of light and dark appeared on the floor and two Yugi look-alikes appeared.
"Uh-oh!" Valkyia gulped as she saw them.
"Hmmmm...so this is the problem this time..." Dark Yugi said, fiddling his fingers and a smirk came across his lips.
"He shouldn't have done that," Light Yugi said as he stared at Atemu with melancholic eyes.
"Oh well, we get to have fun anyway. It's been six years and I hate getting stuck inside that dratted seal." Dark Yugi shrugged and Light Yugi agrees.
Sora readied his keyblade and the two Yugi look-alikes especially Dark Yugi were prepared to fight. As for the summons, they can't fight a part of their master's spirit so they have no choice but to watch this.
"Thundaga!" Dark Yugi chanted and several lightning bolts began to rain down aiming towards the pharaoh but Sora began to counter the magic.
"Reflera!" Sora countered and a barrier appeared in front of the pharaoh but Light Yugi cast his Shellga magic to counter the reflected thunder magic even though Dark Yugi got a bit damage.
"Why are you aiming at the pharaoh?" Sora asked as he ready to defend the spirit.
"He's nothing but a burden to begin with!" Light Yugi replied calmly as he cast Haste on Dark Yugi and himself. "Besides, he's the disturbance here!"
Atemu was a bit startled and why is he a disturbance to those two. Even Yugi's summons were dumbfounded on what's going on but the Keyblade Master knew what it was. It was the missing emotion: love. It was already impossible to talk these two out of this but Sora has to try something in order not to damage the barrier where the real Yugi was held. Sora closed his eyes and the keyblade glowed in response.
"I see then it looks like I won't hold back just because you're part of him." Sora said. "Give me wisdom!"
All of a sudden, the Keyblade Master's clothes changed its color and everything was blue. His feet was surrounded with blue sparkles and he aimed his keybalde at Dark Yugi. Energy began to gather at the tip of the keyblade and it fired some kind of light blast.
"...Blizzaga!" Dark Yugi chanted and the entire place suddenly darkens and a large icicle appeared from the ground but Sora was ready to counter the magic.
"Reflera!" the Keyblade Master countered, raising his keyblade high to revert the magic back to its original caster. Dark Yugi got hit but with Haste on his side, he barely got hit.
"Energy shot!" Sora yelled and he beagn to skate the floor while firing mutltiple energy bullets from the keyblade itself. Dark Yugi got hit but Light Yugi countered Sora's attack using Protera. Although it didn't do much damge nonetheless, Dark Yugi got hit.
"What the frickin' hell are you doing? You're late in casting your support spells!" Dark Yugi said angrily.
"I apologize," Light Yugi said. "Let me make it up to you...Silence!".
A seal appeared on Sora's feet and all of a sudden for some reason he can't use all of his magic so he has no choice but to revert back to his original form and think of a way to destroy the Silence magic that Light Yugi casted.
"Now! Switch to offense!" Dark Yugi commanded and Light Yugi nodded.
"Holy!" Light Yugi chanted aiming his spell at the pharaoh again. A ball of light enveloped his body and inside the ball, Atemu yelled in pain as the magic began to damage him. Sora can't do anything from here but to wait until it subsides. After a few minutes, the magic began to subside but the pharaoh gained tremendous damage.
"It's my turn! Ultimara!" Dark Yugi chanted but before he could finish his casting Sora threw his second keyblade and Dark Yugi scowled. Turns out that Sora used his Master Form. His clothing was yellow just to prove it.
"Will you please don't involve others!!!" Sora said angrily and the two Yugis sighed.
"We better dispose of him. He's a nuisance!" Dark Yugi growled. "Blizzaja!".
Several icicles emerged from the ground but Sora evaded them all even though he could cast his Reflect magic again. But unfortunately, one of the icicles hit Atemu and the spirit was suddenly frozen. Mahaado and Mana were horrified and the Keyblade Master couldn't believed it. He remembers talking about forbidden magic by Yen Sid, the king's teacher but he could never thought he could see it in real life.
"That'll take care of him." Dark Yugi smirked and Sora revert his Master Form back and walked towards the two elementals. He was curious on why they would aim his magic to him.
"Why did you aimed your spells at the pharaoh?" Sora asked.
"He's the true 'darkness' not that dreck he called 'Yami' so before he could do more damage to the emotion seal, he must be destroyed!" Dark Yugi replied as he was about to use an incantation spell that would destroy him permanently but Sora wouldn't allow it. He thought he would never use this form again but this is a deadly situation.
"Light!" Sora chanted and he closed his eyes as his clothes began to dissipate once more but this time, white light began to envelop the entire room that Dark Yugi's spirit shattered. As for the frozen pharaoh, the ice began to break and at the right moment he cast a high level fire magic to break the entire ice. The light began to fade and to everyone's amazement, Sora's clothes were white and bits of black. His two Keyblades were floating in air and also, his body was floating as well.
"What did you do?" Light Yugi yelled, his tears began to fall from his face.
"No darkness can witstand this form. This is my most powerful Drive Form: Final Form!" Sora replied. "If I were you, you should go back where you belong before I do something bad to you."
