Chapter 91: The Black Power
Everyone watched as Kaiba ran at Yuki without hesitation his hidden arm blade inches from the Elementians face. Yuki dodged the attack as he formed a circulation of wind around his hand slicing the CEO's blade in half without any effort. "DAMN!" Joey exclaimed as his eyes widened. "DATS SO FRICKEN COOL! IT'S JUST LIKE A VIDEO GAME!" the blonde got all worked up. "I just hope they don't hurt themselves!" Bloom made a face worriedly.
"Kaiba asked for it when he started taunting him...honestly does he ever NOT pick a fight..." Duke sighed. "Not in our lifetime..." Marik muttered. "It's almost like Yuki's dancing the way his movements are so fluid..." Layla complimented. "But taking Kaiba on with his bare hands? How did he even touch the blade without cutting himself?" Musa questioned. "Elementians can use elements and bend them to their will...Yuki-kun may not look like much, but he uses that to his advantage." Cupid winked. "Still I doubt he'd be any match for MY faerie powers." Stella scoffed.
"Maybe we should stop them..." both Flora and Amourette spoke up watching the two boys continue to fight it out. "Nah...I say we let them get out of their system...besides I think it would do Kaiba some good to get that ego of his taken down a peg." Roxy argued. Raeger only sighed. "I calculate the probability of Yuki losing to Kaiba is about 0.5%." Techna mused. "Are you sure about that Techna?" Bloom questioned. "Of course I am, numbers don't lie." "...Yeah...I guess..." the redhead murmured as she kept an eye on her fiance worriedly. "Don't worry...it'll all be over soon." Bright assured her as he placed a hand on Bloom's shoulder.
After his blade was slice in half Kaiba quickly turned around so his back wouldn't linger in front of the Elementian for too long. Yuki however much to the CEO's surprise was very fast and within a mere moment, he found the black haired male right in front of him manifesting a crystal kunai in between his fingers. With but a motion of his hand Kaiba watched as Yuki thrust the kunai in his direction. {SHIT!} the blue-eyed male cursed mentally before Kaiba shot out a device from his watch that created a force field shattering the kunai crystals upon impact. Kaiba only smirked afterward cockily.
"You'll have to do better than that." the CEO taunted before Kaiba noticed the crystal pieces scattered at his feet had already ensnared him in their trap completely rendering his feet unable to move. He, however, would not be outdone and used his other blade on his arm to crack the crystal just enough to break free. "ENOUGH GAMES!" Kaiba spat angrily and gathered energy in the cannon strapped to his arm.
Yuki raised his hand manipulating the snow surrounding them and combined the snow with ice he formed from using the moisture in the air. His own shield absorbing most of the impact until it shattered as well succoming to the force. But Yuki remained far from defeated. As one of the kunai's unknown to the blue-eyed male had pinned his shadow. With but a motion of his finger shadow spikes shot up aimed at Kaiba's throat. An attack even he wouldn't be able to dodge. The CEO felt a bead of sweat trickle down his face. Nearly everyone on the edge of their seat.
"Heh...perhaps I was mistaken in my assumption you were all talk like wheeler..." Kaiba admitted with a smirk."HEY! WHY I OUTAA!" Joey grinded his teeth as Bloom held him back. "J-Joey he's just trying to get a rise out of you!" the faerie cried out. "But I gotta admit that was impressive." "Da only ting impressive was seein rich boy get his ass kicked!" Joey exclaimed. "The most dangerous threat of all is holding little to no expectations of your opponent..." Yuki muttered as he receded the shadow spikes threatening to piece Kaiba's throat. "Even though that is the case...if one knows their opponents weakness they can exploit it...for instance...from the lack of aura emanating from your body...it was made quite apparent that you did not intend to use any magic...or had the ability to use it in the first place...in which case...just happened to be advantageous to me..." Yuki explained.
"Interesting..." Kaiba admitted as he listened to his reasoning. "...You mentioned once before that YOU personally could bestow power upon an individual...so tell me...does that include the abilities you use as well?" the CEO questioned. "To put it simply, i'm half Elemental...which means I can command all Elements. Fire, Water, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Light, Dark, Metal, and Crystal...although it's Arcane Magic...which means it requires a bit more skill to learn let alone master..." Yuki told Kaiba.
"It's a rare ability however...however...I can create an Aura sphere which enables the body to perform elemental spells such as or awakens dormant power yet to awaken...I believe it goes without saying that it takes a great deal of discipline to actually harness the power and control it...which is precisely the reason why many fear those that use magic in the first place..." the Elementian continued as Kaiba folded his arms narrowing his eyes. "Naturally...they fear what they can't understand and cower when they cannot control one whom is more powerful then they themselves are...my good for nothing stepfather and his goons served as an example of just that..." the CEO spat.
"It was one example I swore I would never follow...so I rebuilt his company with my OWN two hands...taking it beyond a whole new era...so if you're questioning my resolve...I can ASSURE you that when I decide to pursue something I walk down that path to the bitter end...I believe it goes WITHOUT saying...that I want you to make me just as powerful as you are. And I'm NOT taking no for an answer..." Kaiba warned Yuki. "Yes...somehow I had a feeling you wouldn't..." the black haired male let out a sigh after he took a moment to mull over the situation.
"Very well...but creating an aura sphere will take at the minimum three days to fully complete...if you have no objections...i'll take you on as my pupil...is that a satisfactory answer?..." Yuki questioned. Kaiba only smirked. "Well alright then...it looks like we have a deal...I look forward to it...see that you don't disappoint me..." "...Perish the thought..." the Elementian murmured. "Somehow I know i'm going to regret this..." he sighed again before Joey ran over to Yuki excitedly as Kaiba walked away.
"AW MAN! DAT WAS SO AWESOME! I WANNA FIGHT YA NEXT! COME ON! SHOW ME WHAT YA GOT!" Joey exclaimed. "I think i'll pass. But i'm flattered..." Yuki declined and walked away before the blonde face-faulted. Flora gently patted Joey on the shoulder. "It's not fair! Why'd rich boy get ta spar with Yuk and I didn't!?" "Maybe he'll fight you next time." the faerie offered as he sulked circling the snow with his finger. Bloom meanwhile walked over to Kaiba and gently grabbed his hand before he paused and turned towards his fiance.
"Are you ok?" the faerie questioned as she looked the CEO over. "Not really since I just made a complete fool of myself in front of everyone. But, I did learn something useful so I suppose I can let it go just this once." Kaiba admitted before Bloom giggled some. "Well, i'm just glad you're ok. But I do have to talk to you about something..." the faerie confessed. "Let's go inside then...it's too cold out here for my taste..." the blue-eyed male muttered before he escorted Bloom inside the cabin. Bloom took Kaiba to her room and look around before she closed her door and locked it. Just from the look on her face, Kaiba could tell something was wrong which worried him all the more.
"Are you feeling alright...you're not feeling sick are you...?" Kaiba questioned before he sat on the bedside her and felt Bloom's forehead. "No, it's nothing like that." "Then what is it that concerns you so? I can tell there's something you're hiding from me..." the CEO pointed out. "...Ok...well...I told you how I went to Domino City right and how Mokuba helped me get back here? Well, when I went there Mokuba was really upset about Kaiba Corp...even with your remote controlled system Chris Golden's company is starting to plan a hostile take over...and he's already stealing stockholders. I didn't tell you earlier...because...because I didn't know how to..." Bloom confessed before Kaiba stormed out of the cabin Bloom hurrying after him.
"NO ONE DARES TO MESS WITH MY COMPANY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY LITTLE BROTHER AND GETS AWAY WITH IT! THOSE BASTARDS ARE GONNA PAY! I AM NOT HANDING OVER MY COMPANY WITHOUT A FIGHT!" Kaiba roared with a dangerous fury as venom dripped off each word he spoke. "I AM GOING TO DOMINO CITY AND DON'T ANY OF YOU TRY TO STOP ME!" No one dared to get near Kaiba except for Bloom. "WAIT!" Bloom cried out after him nearly out of breath. "M-Mokuba's like family to me too...s-so i'm going with you! I can't do anything else right now anyway...so PLEASE let me help you..." the faerie pleaded. "Listen...Chris GoldenWater is apart of the Under World...meaning that he will stop at nothing to attack me and my company. I don't want you wrapped up in this...it could get messy and quite possibly dangerous..." Kaiba warned Bloom.
"Which is EXACTLY why I want to go! You can't deal with this on your own. Besides the Wizards Of The Black Circle could come after you again! We can't take that risk...I...can't take that risk...I care about you too much...especially if this guys out to hurt you..." Bloom told Kaiba as tears brimmed in her eyes worried for his safety as she gently caressed his face. "I-It's not that simple..." the CEO bit his lower lip. "GEESH! Man yer hard headed Kaiba!" Joey interrupted. "You may be a rich smug ass but yer still one of us. As if we're gonna let ya take off without us!" the blonde exclaimed.
"Joey..." Bloom murmured softly through her tear filled eyes. "Besides. Your not the only one with a game shop in danger. That jackass probably plans to target all the businesses in Domino City..." Duke narrowed his eyes. "You're going to need help you can't face this alone," Roxy spoke up. "Right we're all here for you Kaiba. Joey's right" Flora smiled before the blonde only grinned all the more. Raeger nodded. "If you're in trouble then let us help...after all what are friends for." the Guild Master smiled. "But what about Atem and Yugi-kun? They still haven't returned yet." Amourette pointed out. "That's a good point..." Bright scratched at his cheek.
"That's easily settled. Me, Marik, Stella, Yuki, Techna and Bright can stay behind and wait here. You guys go ahead to Domino City plus Granny could still use help with the baking. But we should be able to handle it." Layla winked. That ok with you Marik?" the darkly-skinned faerie asked. "Yes, after a, l Yugi should be back shortly. It's been awhile since he last departed." the tomb keeper admitted. "Besides I have something I want to look further in to..." "Aw man, i'm being left behind AGAIN!?" Stella pouted. "...But then again those cookies smell delightful.." the blonde giggled distracted. "I can help Yuki with constructing the Aura Sphere. But if you need me just call me. I always have my phone on me!" Techna told the group.
"Oh, well I suppose it's settled then." Amourette squeaked. Bloom silently look back up at Kaiba whom only sighed defeat. "Alright...have it your way...but this is MY fight...unless I say otherwise stay out of it..." Joey only shook his head. He just didn't GET it did he? "Come on we don't have any time to waste..." the CEO muttered urgently before Raeger used his key to unseal a portal he summoned rather than use the gateway. Slowly each of them departed through it leaving the remaining party behind. What they didn't expect was that someone else would arrive covered head to toe in the cold frozen white powdery snow. Katori shivering as her lips blue barely able to stand before she fell over in exhaustion.
Meanwhile...
Ogron and the Wizards Of The Black Circle gathered in a darkened space. Where they were, however, one could only guess. "Mortals are so intriguing...yet OH so predictable..." Ogron began. "Here Tybolt believes he's actually using us when it's actually quite the opposite. It seems there's more to this Weldon fellow and this A.O.J leader than what meets the eye," he admitted. "Yeah, but how does merely watching them benefit us exactly?" Gantlos questioned. "Think about it moron." Anagan interrupted. "The more we observe their actions, the better we can get an idea to know exactly what they're up to!" he filled Gantlos in."Yet while we're keepin an eye on em, those fools think we're completely in the dark...well the jokes on em..." Dumont snickered.
Bakura only scoffed. "And yet for all your effort...thus far all you've done is make utter fools of yourselves," he muttered darkly. "Oh but we've only JUST begun!" Ogron grinned. "You see...we've yet to show of our cards...and like they say a good magician never reveals secrets of the trade...that after all makes it all the more amusing...speaking of which...my intrigue is only broadening as I hear whispers in the shadows about these so-called Blood Scrolls...I don't suppose YOU'D have any insight into that matter would you Bakura?" Ogron questioned as he turned to the snow-haired male as a grin manifested upon Bakura's lips.
"Indeed I do...but little is known to their origin...it was said that the scrolls themselves contain an infinite amount of knowledge which pertains to Blood Magic..." Bakura informed Orgron. "Its pages, however, are scattered and none know of its whereabouts...perhaps the reason the BriarBlood and this Tybolt are seeking the scrolls is simply that they intend to use them for their own purposes...Tybolt probably never even knew where the Philosopher's stone in the first place...he merely wanted your aid in assisting him in his personal endeavor..." Bakura muttered.
"THAT LYING BASTARD!" Gantlos spat as he slammed his fists down on the ground. "Yeah, even if we wanted these scrolls for ourselves where would we even look?" Anagan questioned. "Screw that, why not just put the fear of the gods into that fellow Tybolt?" Dumon proposed. Ogron only groaned. "Must I explain everything? If we confront him then he'll know that we're well aware of what he's scheming...and should he actually make headway on the scrolls we'll lose our element of surprise. How about you actually THINK before you open that big mouth of yours hmm?" the redhead muttered angrily.
"...There IS another power...one of which I have also heard the dark spirits whisper in the depths of the shadows...the very same essence that bestowed Shadow Magic upon Ancient Egypt and gave birth to the Millennium Spell Book...which happens to be in YOUR possession...it is known as The Black Power...a darkness beyond darkness that was created long ago by souls whom were consumed by their desire for power to take vengeance against those that cast them aside...and with this dark power born of mortal souls...a plaque was unleashed along side it...empowdered by the dark aura consuming everything in its path...there are already those suffering under its spell...on a world that is in a constant battle of light and dark...Zaloz..." Bakura grinned darkly. "Well then, what are we waiting for gentlemen...let's pay a visit to this little planet..." Ogron told the Wizards before they created a portal and left at once. Bakura only laughed as they disappeared into nothingness. "I'm afraid YOU are the fools," he muttered with a broad grin. "No one controls The Black Power...rather they are controlled by it...then they alone will do MY bidding...now...I believe it's time to pay a visit to Marik...it's been FAR too long after all..."
RATE AND REVIEW! And maybe i'll write another chapter ;D
