"I...I didn't put that card in here..."
"That one is incredibly powerful, which is why only a very few were ever made and distributed."
"They...kinda make a story..."
"Guess who was invited to participate~"
"I'm happy for ya, Yug."
Luci was practically bouncing off the walls of the plane, she was so exited. It was more than a bit weird for Yugi's friends and Kaiba to watch someone who looked so much like the usually calm and collected young man doing the exact opposite of his personality.
"Luci, maybe you should calm down..." Yugi said, trying to calm down his twin sister.
Luci turned and grinned. "No way am I calming down! This is among the most exciting moments of my life!" She squealed, clapping her hands together.
"Hey, calm down kid..." Kaiba muttered, his eyes being drawn to Luci's gloved hand. "Hey, since we have time, why do you wear only one glove?"
Luci rapidly calmed down, and everyone stared at Kaiba like he was some kind of god. "Well..." Luci stared, and suddenly broke into a wide grin. "You have to wait and see~." She said cheerfully, already returning to her excited ways.
Yugi sighed, and pulled his deck out of his pocket. He spread it out on the table before him and slid the cards around to try and come up with a few new tricks.
A hand slid into view, pushing a few cards. Yugi looked up and met the gaze of Kaiba. "Been meaning to give these to you." The tall young man said. He turned and walked back to his seat, not even giving Yugi an explanation.
Yugi picked up the cards, and saw that most of them were magic cards. Except for one, which was a trap card.
'Mystic rabbit. Magic Card. Place rabbits of the field equal to the amount of monsters in play on your opponent's field. Used when Any magician is in play.'
'Magic cup. Trap Card. Place an attacking enemy monster in cup. When attacked again, random chance that monster inside will be destroyed or released. Used when any magician is in play.'
'Starry Robes. Magic Card. Use on any magician in play to boost attack and defense stats by one third. Increases with other magic cards that also boost attack and defense.'
"Whoa! Kaiba, where did you get these?" Yugi asked, feeling a bit numb.
"I was going through a few new boosters and got them. I don't have any magician cards, so I decided to hand them off to you..." Kaiba replied, picking up a book and opening it, hinting that he didn't want to be questioned anymore.
"Well, thanks." Yugi said, smiling.
Yugi went back to shuffling through his deck, thinking up new combos and either shooting them down or mentally adding them to his arsenal of tricks.
'You know, Yugi...' The thoughtful voice of Yami started.
Yugi leaned back and closed his eyes. Almost instantly, his mind was transported to a shadow realm like place. A taller man, dressed in a simaler fashion to Yugi stood waiting.
"What is it Yami?" Yugi asked, looking up at the being that often gave wise advice to the young duelist.
"There is something about your sister that I can't put my finger on. She has this energy about her that reminds me of someone I feel like I should know..." The man said, looked faintly frustrated.
Yugi reached out and rested an hand on the taller man's arm. "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll figure it out. You'll be thinking of something absolutely random, and it'll just...click."
Yami smiled. "Thank you, Yugi. You always seem to know just what to say to bring hope to a person...being...whatever I am!" He said, flapping his hands in a slightly dismissive manner.
Yugi smiled. "You look a bit funny when you do that." He commented, trying to stifle his amusement.
Yami smiled back. "Don't I know it..." He said, laughing lightly.
"Hey. Yugi~" A female voice interrupted.
Yugi was jolted back to his own mind. He slowly cracked open an eye. "Yes?" He asked, not showing any of the irritation he should have been feeling.
"Good. You're alive." Luci said, nodding emphatically. She turned toward where Tristan and Joey were sitting. "You owe me five bucks, Tristan!" She called out.
Tristan grumbled as he pulled out his wallet and pulled out five dollars. He held them up, and Luci marched over and snatched them out of his hand. She flounced back to her seat, and sat down with a slight 'poof' of displaced air.
Yugi smiled and lightly shook his head, a small smile on his lips. He looked back down at his deck and started shuffling his cards around again, still looking for more tricks.
'I still can't believe I have a brother!' Luci mentally squealed.
'Ah! You have got to stop doing that Luci!' Luki said in irritation. Luci mentally stuck out her tongue at the spirit that was bonded with the girl.
Luki ignored Luci's act of childishness. 'You know, you should be refining your deck as well. There is no telling what the competition will be like.'
'Ha! The only reason why Rebecca went to challenge Yugi, besides getting the card back, was to prove that she could beat the top duelist in another country! I'm too pro for her!' Luci thought, wiggling a little in pride.
'Still. It wouldn't hurt to have a few new tricks...'
'You...are absolutely right...' Luci gave in. She pulled her deck from her bag and spread it out also. She started shuffling the cards around until she got to a card she didn't remember putting in. "Huh?" She said, out loud.
"What is it?" Yugi asked, looking up from his deck.
Luci held up the card. "I never put this card in here." She said.
Yugi stood and walked over. He leaned down slightly and examined the card. "'The Crown of The Pharaohs. Apply to any monster in play to boost attack by one half and extra strength against dark monsters.' Whoa..." Yugi said.
Luci flipped the card over, so she could see the image on it. "Hey, it has that same background as those other cards!" She said.
Yugi lit up like a Christmas bulb. He turned and ran over to where his bag was stored, he dug around for a few moments. Finally, he pulled out a zip-lock bag. Inside were the cards that had been found. Luci grinned. Yugi ran back over and pulled out the cards. Luci swept up her deck and pushed it back into her bag, so that they would have room to lay out the cards.
After a silent few seconds, the cards had been laid out in the pattern. Yugi held up the card and placed it at the beginning of the bottom row. "Well, we found one more card, but it doesn't tell us anything..." He sighed.
Luci pulled out the magazine and opened it to the page with advertisement. "I wonder where this card goes?" She asked.
Yugi leaned down and tried to make out the background of the card. But, not only was it mostly hidden by the other card, it was blurred too. "I guess we'll find out when one of us wins."
'...we'll find out when one of us wins...'
And, done! After too long, I have finished this chapter!
You all can blame my school-work ethic (for obvious reasons), good books (ditto), random interruptions from my family (ditto again), college classes (ditto yet again), Aura Kingdom (for being addicting), Netflix (see 'Aura Kingdom'), and all-around laziness (see all of the above).
So, now that the story is rolling again, I'll try to update when I can.
Until then...(has no clue what to put here...)
OH! Almost forgot! Instead of responding to reviews in the chapter itself, I'm going to try and PM respond! If a question gets asked enough, I'll answer it in the end-note! Guest reviews will probably be responded to in the end note, but not all the time.
Yeah...I'm going to stop typing now...
