Hikari No More!

-Chapter 3-The Package-

Yugi and Yami begun to walk side by side. Yugi was curious about the escape from the puzzle.

“So Yami… How exactly did you escape?”

“I will explain it later, I do not wish to talk about it now”

Yamis facial expression went from happy to saddened. It pained him to remember the horrors of his shadowy mind. The power of ones mind is endless. But you can’t get everything for free.

As they turned a corner they could see the gameshop.

“HEY YUG!” A familiar voice yelled.

It was Joey Wheeler. A blond haired boy. He wore a white shirt with a green jacket. Pair of stylish jeans to finish the look. On the outside he liked to keep a tough guy image. Even in his voice. But when you look into those eyes you can see that he isn’t so bad. In fact, Joey Wheeler is quite scared when it comes to picking on someone bigger then himself.

Yugi stopped and turned around to say hello to his friend. Yami was in deep thought and didn’t realise Yugi wasn’t next to him anymore.

Yami walked though the automatic glass doors of the gameshop where he was welcomed by Yugis grandpa.

His name was Solomon. He has done many things in his time. He once worked as an archeologist in Egypt. Where a friend of his discovered the origins of the ‘Duel Monsters’ game.

“Hello Yugi, the cards arrived.” Solomon was looking cheerful.

“Hello Grandpa. I have some explaining to do” Yami smiled at seeing Yugis grandpa.

“AH!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MILLENNIUM PUZZLE!?” Solomon yelled in complete shock. He was the one that gave the puzzle for Yugi to solve.

Yami stepped towards Solomon. He placed his hands his shoulders and bent down to look him directly in the eyes.

“Look me in the eyes”

“Your not Yugi are you?”

The automatic door opened again. This time it was Yugi and Joey. They both had big smiles on their faces.

“Grandpa!” Yugi yelled happily.

“YUGI! Who is this?” Said Solomon. His facial expression clearly showed he was confused.

“Woah Yugi! Who is dis imposta!” Joey yelled while he put one foot behind the other, getting into a fighting stance.

“Wait! This is Yami, the spirit of my puzzle, he somehow managed to release himself from within it” Yugi explained.

Yami opened his hand and reviled the last piece of the puzzle.

Solomon looked at it and then at Yugi who had the rest of it around his neck.

“We can not complete the puzzle, for if we do I will be sealed within it forever” Yami said. He looked down at the puzzles eye. He then closed his fist and placed it in his pants left pocket.

After the confusion fell and everyone was feeling alright Solomon remembered about the cards he received.

“Oh! I almost forgot” He said louldly.

Solomon walked behind the shelf and lifted up the packed he had received earlier in the day, he then placed it on the counter. Everyone huddled around it to see what it was. It was a plain brown paper package tied with some brown string. A note was tied to the bow in the centre.

“This was address to Yugi, this is why I haven’t opened it yet” Explained Solomon.

Yugi opened the note it read.

“Dear Yugi-boy. I hope you enjoy the cards. From M Pegasus.”

Slowly Yugi pulled the string off the box and began to take the brown paper off the package. Inside was a golden deck box. Egyptian writing was engraved all over it.
The box popped open and flew out was another note.

“Dear Yugi-boy. I have personally hand painted a copy of your deck to give to Yami. You see I foresaw this will happen and I personally thought it would be a good idea to give him a welcoming present. Happy Birthday Yami. From M  Pegasus.”

Yami picked up the deck of cards and began to look at them. It was a copy of Yugis deck alright. Except for one tiny error. A blue eyes white dragon card.

Yami held the card in his hand. He studied it carefully in the background he could barely make out Solomon.

“I think I should give this card to Yugis grandpa” He thought to himself.

He handed the card to Solomon who looked at him shocked.

“This is a blue eyes white dragon card!” The look on his face quickly changed to very happy.

“But why are you giving me this card?”

“Think of it as a thank you. If you never gave that puzzle to Yugi, I would never have been freed. It also replaces the blue eyes of yours that got ripped in half.”

An explosion came from outside. It Shattered the automatic glass doors.

“What was that!” everyone said in unison.


-Chapter 4-Augmented Reality

Yami, Yugi, Joey and Solomon ran outside to see what exploded outside. The smoke was thick. They could only make out shadows. They could hear the sound of glass crunching beneath their feet.

A small gust of wind blew some of the smoke away. Laying in front of the gameshop was Bakura!

He used to be known as ‘the new guy’ He had faint purple hair that when just below his shoulders. He wore a white jumper with blue jeans. He was a very kind person, but that was only one side of him. He owns a millennium item aswell, around his neck he has the millennium ring, it resembles a dream catcher, but it is made from gold, a pyramid can be seen in the middle with an eye in the centre, hanging on the bottom of the ring are five golden spikes.

Bakura was wearing some sort of visor and a circular dueling disk on his left arm. This disk looked different from the others, It was just a disk with a place to hold cards.

In the middle of the road was Seto Kaiba. The young owner of Kaiba corp. He is obsessed with technology. Always finding new ways of playing ‘Duel Monsters’ taking advantage of the embedded card reader chips each Duel Monster card has. He has brown hair, he wears a purple trench coat, black pants and shirt.

“Bakura!” Yugi and Yami yelled in unison, they helped him up and took the visor off his head. As much as they tried they couldn’t wake Bakura up.

“Fool was too weak to duel me, tried to stop me from taking your new Blue Eyes card.” Kaiba spoke as he walked towards the gang, his visor was in his right hand.

Solomon helped Bakura out back to get his car to drive to drive him to the hospital.

“What did ya do to Bakura Kaiba!” Joey said with anger throughout his entire body.

Suddenly Kaiba collapsed onto his kness, Joeys anger turned into sorrow. He ran over to help Kaiba up, even though he was the enemy he didn’t like to see him hurt.

“Back off, I don’t need help from a lower rate duelist like you” Kaiba growled as he pushed Joey away and stood up by himself

“Lower rate! Why I outta.. I’ll show you lower rate duelist, I challenge you” Joey growled back at Kaiba.

“Go home and play with your little friends, I am here to challenge Yugi”

Kaiba turned to face Yugi but to his surprise he could see two Yugis.

“Whats this, there can’t be two Yugis” Kaiba thought to himself.

“Which one of you two is the real Yugi Moto?”

Yugi Stepped forward, and then Yami did.

“Your little tricks won’t fool me Yugi, I Challenge you.” Kaiba said as he pointed towards Yami.

“Fine by me, What is this new device anyway” Yami smiled as he picked up the visor.

“It is my Augmented Reality Private dueling disk. I invented it so duelist like you don’t cheat by gaining hints from there friends.”

“I don’t trust it, look what it did to Bakura, if we are going to duel we will do it my way”

“Then I will name the price”

“Go ahead”

“Your Blue Eyes”

“I am sorry but I am no longer in possession of that card, I gave it away”

“LIER! Your are lying, you just got that card, I checked the database”

“I think you should check again”

Kaiba walked to his Limousine, opened his laptop and began checking the cards of the registered duelists. Yami was correct, Yugi didn’t have possession of the Blue Eyes card anymore.

“You may want to get your facts correct before you make statements like that”

Joey held his fist up in the air and yelled “You go Yami!”

Kaiba walked up to Yami

“Yami huh, so your not Yugi?”

“That’s a rhetorical question” Yami smirked again.

“I don’t have time for this” Kaiba said as he turned around and headed back to his Limousine driving off without looking back once.

“We should go to the hospital to see what Kaiba did to Bakura.” Yugi said already walking to the train station.

The other two started to race each other to see who can get too Yugi first.

All seemed well, except for Bakura that is…

Little did they know there was danger just on the horizon, something not quite pleasant was coming.

The sky turned grey, a shadowy fog started settling around the bay area. Shadowy figures could be seen within the fog. Slowly it started to creep though the city.
