Power greater than...the God cards?
I began to laugh. People started to notice, but I didn't care. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Power greater than the Egyptian God Cards? That's just rich!!"
Namine shook her head. "No, Yugi. This legend may in fact be true. What I want you to do is-"
"Oh, wait! Don't tell me! You want me to go to the Abandoned Dorm and steal this tablet so you can make a card and sell it for money?" I chuckled, then reverted to my serious nature. "Don't make me laugh. I'm not going to risk going to jail just to help you get a stupid rock. Now quit wasting my time."
As I got up and started to leave, I heard three chilling words that stopped me dead in my tracks. Three words that started this terrible journey.
"We have her."
Mission in the Abandoned Dorm
We...have her?
Please, god, I thought to myself. Don't let this be what I think it is.
Namine got out of her seat. "Your daughter will not be returning home with you today," she spoke in a calm and collected voice. "We have picked her up for you. She is in a better place."
Oh.
My.
God.
I walked over to where Namine was and slapped her across her cheek. "YOU BITCH! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!"
Then an evil smile crept upon Namine's innocent face. It was a very frightening sight, seeing a teenage girl with so much malice and evil upon her face.
"Don't worry, Yugi; that's not what I meant. She is in good hands with me. In fact, she's a lot better now that she's not with a terrible father like myself."
Usually, when someone insulted my parenting, they would have been bleeding on the floor right about now. But this time, I was consumed by fear over what had happened to my little girl to even move a muscle, let alone strangle this evil witch for kidnapping my daughter.
"What did you just say?!" I managed to bark at her.
Just as I was preparing to slap her again, Namine stopped my hand by clutching my wrist in a tight grip.
"Don't try it. With every moment that passes, your daughter still remains trapped against her will. So...do we have a deal?" With her free hand, she took a piece of paper from her back pocket - don't ask me how that dress had a back pocket; I don't know either- and held it in front of my face.
I was silent for a moment, still trying to process what had just happened. My daughter had been kidnapped, this girl was responsible, and I was caught in a deadly situation. Should I trust this girl and give in to her sick game, or should I involve the police.
"By the way, if you try to involve the police...well, let's just say you won't have to worry about your future anymore."
A look of horror came on my face as I began to realize what she meant.
I had no choice.
I had to go by her rules.
Without speaking, I took the slip of paper and put it in my pocket. My head was hanging down in defeat; my hair overshadowed my eyes.
Namine smiled sweetly. Seriously, this girl had really fast mood swings. "That's a good baby! Be at Domino Airport at 7:00. The instructions will tell you what to do. Bye, dear." She walked out of the cafe, humming "Burnin' Up" by the Jonas Brothers while snapping her fingers.
I hated their songs.
To hell with those weirdos! I thought. I have to save Sarah! As I started to head for the door, I heard someone call out to me.
"Sir, you forgot your coffee."
A blue-haired boy was standing in front of me. He was dressed in a yellow jacket and black pants, and he wore glasses. The boy was holding my coffee in front of me.
I took the mug from him. Nicely, of course. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Say, aren't you Yugi Muto?"
I nodded. "Yes. Can I help you?"
The boy held out a piece of paper and a pen. "Can I have your autograph?"
Sigh. Sometimes I hated my fans; they always came whenever I was stuck in a dangerous situation. I reluctantly gave him the autograph and then proceeded to leave.
"Bye, Yugi!"
I hoped he didn't notice that I had signed the paper as "Seto Kaiba".
What? I was in a hurry.
7:00.
Domino Airport.
I was here.
The paper had told me to wait at the runway; a helipocter would come to pick me up in about 5 minutes.
I wasn't dressed in my traditional outfit this time. I was wearing my black outfit that I wore when I played Dungeon Dice Monsters with Duke Devlin. I just waited there in the cold, dark night, feeling like a dark knight.
No pun intended.
Also, my Duel Disk was fastened to my arm. That was also in the instructions; bring your Duel Disk and cards. "What a liar, " I had said at the time. "She did want a duel."
Still, there was no way of knowing if she wanted to duel. Even so, there was no chance of her even winning. So I thought I would just go with it. It's not like a had a choice anyway.
Eventually, the helicopter arrived. I quickly got in the copter, without speaking to the pilot, and then we took off.
As soon as I got in, I took the letter out of my back pocket and opened it up. There was still a portion that I hadn't read. Since the ride to Duel Academy would take a while, there would be enough time to read it. I opened up the letter and began reading:
Once you arrive at Duel Academy, go to the Abandoned Dorm. There will be a bag of supplies available in the helicopter that will help you get past security. Be careful not to let anyone spot you. If you are caught, I will NOT HELP YOU IN ANY WAY. If I do that, I'll have to tell the police what I did. You can figure out the rest.
Love,
Namine
Well, I had a feeling that I would be in on this alone. I put my head against the seat and sighed. "Perfect. Well, at least she's not like Bakura."
I didn't know exactly how long the ride took, but we reached the Academy Docks. I took Namine's bag from under my seat, and left the copter. After watching the chopper leave, I proceeded to open the bag.
Inside was a flashlight, a gun, a , and...a box of corned-beef sandwiches?
Okay, I understood the flashlight and the gun, but sandwiches? Was this some kind of joke? How the hell was this supposed to help me get past security?!
I slid my hand across my face.
I am so doomed, I thought.
As I made my way across the docks and towards the Abandoned Dorm, I didn't see any trouble. I made sure to move slowly and easy. The moon gleamed brightly over me, and the ominous hoots from the owls filled me with dread and despair. I gulped. I knew that if I made one wrong move, I was dead meat. My career would be over, and my daughter...
That's the only reason I even agreed to do this crime. And to think, all of this madness had been enacted by a teenage girl? And to top it off, a witch?
I shook my head and pushed the thought out of my head. Now was not the time to think about that. He had a job to do, and he had to get it done fast.
But before I could move another step, I heard a loud voice declare:
"Drop the bag and put your hands where I can see them!!" A campus officer was pointing at me with his flashlight in his right hand, and a gun in the other.
Busted.
I turned around, the light blinding my eyes. Without thinking, I opened the bag and attempted to pull out the gun.
BANG!!
A bullet hit my right hand before it entered the bag. "GYAHHHH!" I howled in pain and fell to the ground, holding my hand and shriveling in pain.
The officer reached his hand into the bag and pulled out the gun. "Tisk tisk. Possession of an illegal firearm, tresspassing on academy grounds. Someone's been a bad boy. Let's see what the Chancellor has to say about this." Just as he was about to reach for his radio to call for backup, he noticed something that caught his eye.
The box of sandwiches was sticking out of the bag, inviting the officer with its aroma. The officer licked his lips. "Mmm...looks like I scored big time tonight! Sandwiches AND a prisoner? This is too good to be true!"
"You couldn't be more right!"
I swept myself off the ground and jumped in the air, kicking the officer in the face. Then, before he could get up, I grabbed the box of sandwiches with my uninjured hand and held it close to my chest. The officer pulled himself back on his feet. Then he pointed both guns at me; the flashlight was discarded.
"Grr...so, you wanna play rough, wise guy? Well, say hello to my little friends!!" And he prepared to fire...
"WAIT!!" I exclaimed. "If you shoot, then the sandwiches go with me!" I waved the sandwiches in front of him. "You want the sandwiches? Give me the guns and you can have them."
Well, that explains why she gave me sandwiches. Good old Namine. The officer relented immediately; he threw the guns to my feet, and I handed him the sandwiches. A smirk creeped up opon the officer's face. "Tonight never happened. I didn't see you. But if you get caught; don't expect me to bail you out." With that, he left, proceeding to eat one of the sandwiches as he walked away.
I breathed a sigh of relief. "Glad that was over."
But the hard part was yet to come. I was over 20 minutes away from the dorm, and there were probably still guards around patrolling the area. Worse of all, there were no more sandwiches to bribe them with.
Those were the worst 20 minutes of my life. At least, before I reached the dorm...
20 minutes later
Fortunately, I was very careful not to run into any obstacles. I reached the dorm, gaping at what I saw.
The dorm looked like it hadn't been lived in for years. It was dark and shabby, and the gate was broken. I would have taken more time to look at detailed characteristics of this dorm, but at the time all I cared about was the retrival of the tablet and getting my daughter. If I had been more alert, I would have known that some people had been following me. But that will be explained later.
I took out my flashlight and turned it on. Cautiously, I walked towards the door. It was at that point that I should have backed away and turned now. I had no idea what I was about to get myself into. If I had, I would never even have heard of this world that I am now imprisoned in. If only I had been more dilligent...
The second I entered the establishment, the doors slammed shut behind me. I panicked. "Help! Help me!" I started banging the door, hoping somebody would help. "Get me out of here!"
"Your screams are futile, Yugi Muto. No one can save you now."
I jumped and turned around to see Namine standing in front of me. It should have occured to me then that she was playing me the whole time. But at that moment, I didn't get it.
"Namine? What are you doing here? I'm supposed to get the tablet you asked me to get."
Namine sighed. "Oh, Yugi. You naive, simple boy. You just don't get it, do you. There is no tablet."
Of course. I had a feeling.
"I tricked you into coming here so that you would see the truth. About your destiny."
I blinked. "My...destiny?"
Namine nodded. "Yes, Yugi. You are destined for great things in your life. You have been chosen for something truly extraordinary. Something only a true hero can be chosen for."
"And what's that?"
She ignored my comment and continued. "But if you wish to choose this heavy responsibility, there is something you must do first."
"You must...DEFEAT ME IN A DUEL!!"
Suddenly, a Duel-Disk that seemingly came out of nowhere appeared on her arm. She drew a card - which was revealed to be Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning (3000/2500)!
At once, the image of a warrior in golden-clad armor appeared in front of me, raising a sword in his hand.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The very monster that I had scoured the world to obtain was staring me in the face. I sank to the ground in awe of this magnificent card. "It...cannot be. How did you-"
"This isn't my monster, Yugi. It's yours."
My look of awe was replaced with a confused one. "What?" I took out my deck and scanned my cards quickly. No BLS Envoy.
"That's impossible! I thought for sure I put that card in my-"
Namine chuckled. "It seems your cards aren't as loyal as you think they are, Yugi." Then she spoke in a serious tone. "Look at yourself. You have become a selfish, inconsiderate person who would rather sacrifice his monsters than lose to someone."
"That's a LIE!!" I yelled indignantly. I would never do that! My cards are everything to me! EVERYTHING! They're all I have left." Tears fell from my cheek as I muttered that last line.
"Is that so? Then how about you see how truthful those words truly are when you face me in a duel? Now...prepare to be sent to a place so gruesome, so terrifying, so mysterious, that you will lose everything you have and be reborn! YUGI! I will be the one to vanquish your evil soul away forever, where nobody will be hurt by you ever again!"
Black Luster Solder began to glow brightly. Then, he raised his sword and pointed it at the sky. At once, a piercing white light consumed me. The last thing I remember, I was screaming very loudly, my body was being stretched beyond its limits and I felt as if the world itself was spiraling out of control...
