Yugi: Spirit Blacksmith?!
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author’s Notes: Hello, everyone. Listen, I lost a few of the chapters of my story here, so I needed to improvise. Do not fret, as the majority of my work is still intact.
Darien: We hope you have enjoyed the work so far. More to come, despite DJ having to go back to college for the Summer Semister.
Now, on with the fanfic!)
Yugi and Metallia soon found themselves in a large room, which seemed to radiate luxury and elegance. A tall golden chandiler was hung above them, radiating light like nothing else. A coffee table seem to be made with perfection, the brown wood making the table seem almost to shine. The chairs were very plush and looked very comfy, especially the couch that situated in the middle of the room.
“Where are we?”, Yugi inquired.
Metalia answered, “We are in the mansion of one Meis Triumph, the Spirit Blacksmith I told you about. We are in his home, in the land of Kant in the countryside of Tradguld.”.
Yugi was about to ask some more questions, when someone came into the room. It was a young man, looking around the age of 17. He had unruly black hair, a boyish looking face, light brown eyes, and standing about 5’6 or so. He was wearing a red cape of some sort, a white t-shirt underneath, a belt of some kind that held his light black pants up, and wearing brown boots. Strapped to his back was a massive hammer, and on his right side was a shealth for a sword. Flanking both sides were two lovely maids, one blonde while the other brunette.
“Metalia? What are you doing here? And who is this?”, asked the young man.
“Meis Triumph, I would like you to meet Yugi Moto. He is a special… guest of mine.”, Metalia answered.
Meis signaled the two maids to leave, whom bowed and did so. Meis sat in one of the chairs next to the table and said, “Hello, Yugi. Welcome to my home.”.
Yugi bowed and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Triumph.”.
Metalia sat across from Meis and stated, “Meis, we have a dire problem here.”.
Meis, Yugi, and Metalia were all in the living room of Meis’s mansion, Metalia telling Meis the huge ordeal. “So, that is why you must train Yugi to become a Spirit Blacksmith. He is the only one who can make and produce the ultimate weapons that can defeat this powerful force.”, she finished saying.
Meis was in a state of shock. ‘There is an evil more powerful then the Dark Emperor?!’, he thought. After awhile, he got over the shock and said, “Thank you for telling me everything.”.
He then turned to Yugi and said, “I’m very sorry on how those jerks treated you.”.
Yugi merely lowered his head a little and replied, “Its all right.”.
Meis then turned his attention back to Metalia and stated, “But, answer me this.”.
Metalia nodded her head. “Why is it that Yugi needs to be trained?”, he inquired.
Metalia sighed and answered, “It is because he has the purest heart, mind, and soul I have ever come across. He has the potential to become the greatest Spirit Blacksmith of all!”.
Meis was pretty much surprised by this statement, while Yugi blushed a deep red at the comment. “How so?”, Meis said.
Metalia then stood up and told Meis, “Take out your sword, and you will see why he has the potential to become a great Spirit Blacksmith.”.
Meis stood up and left the room. Yugi looked at Metalia with a quizzical look. “What is it, little one?”, she asked him.
He replied, “You told me what a Spirit Blacksmith is earlier. But, I still don’t see on how my heart, soul, and spirit can be used to make powerful weapons.”.
She smiled at him mysteriously and said, “Wait. You will soon see.”.
Eight minutes later, Meis came back in the room holding a sword. It was a long, double-edge sword with a red jewel in the hilt and the sides having upside-down wings. It was made of very fine craftsmanship. “Okay. Now… whoa!!”, Meis started to say when the sword started to pulsate in a bright blue light!
Meis’s hands started to tremble a little has he gripped the sword tight. “I… I can feel the intense power flowing through my sword! The spirits inside, t-they’re going crazy!”, he exclaimed.
Metalia smirked a little and said calmly, “That is because they are sensing and reacting to Yugi’s spirit. They have never felt so much purity and power before.”.
Meis now had a look of amazement on his face. “B-But, that’s impossible! I’m fifteen feet across from him!”. Sure enough, he was!
Back in Egypt, Ishizu and Shadi were amazed by what they heard and saw. “I can’t believe that sword is reacting so much like that, and Yugi is merely fifteen feet away from it!”, Ishizu stated in shock.
Shadi nodded his head and added, “His spirit, heart, and soul is that powerful! Its unbelievable!”.
Ishizu was in awe at this! ‘This is the true power and strength of Yugi’s being?! I knew that he was something special!’, she thought joyously.
Then, she thought darkly, ‘Too bad that idiot, Yami and those other morons, couldn’t see it! They don’t know what they just gave up!’.
Shadi thought, ‘This is extraordinary! I knew destiny had something grand for Yugi, and this is it!’. They continued to watch the scene with anticipation.
After some moments of trying to relax the spirits inside Meis’s sword (M. Sword), Meis finally did it and put the sword back in its sheath, which was strapped on his back. “That was unreal!”, Meis sighed out as he flopped back in his armchair. Apparently, him trying to calm the spirits took a lot out of him.
“Now you see on why Yugi is the one?”, she asked him.
Meis looked up at Metalia, and nodded his head. Yugi stood up and inquired, “Can either of you two explain on what just happened, please?”.
Metalia looked at him, smiled, and answered, “Yes, brave one. You see, when a Spirit Blacksmith forges a sword, or any other weapon or item, the spirits lying dormant in the craft will react to the blacksmith’s spirit, heart, and mind. The purer the being, the stronger and more powerful the weapon or item becomes. It will glow in certain colors, showing its true strength. And also showing the reflection of the blacksmith. It will reveal the blacksmith’s true reflection of the heart and soul, like a mirror.”.
Yugi started to take it all in, understanding it all. Meis added, “That sword was forged by me, but it reacted to your spirit amazingly. And you were fifteen feet away! That was something very unexpected.”.
Now, Yugi understood it all. His very essence would be used to create weapons powerful enough to defeat this new evil force! “Thank you for telling me all this.”, he told the two politely.
Then he added, “Now, I feel much better for what I’m going to do!”. Metalia smiled warmly at this, while Meis gave a weak smile.
Back in Egypt, Ishizu and Shadi were very much excited by the whole thing. “I’m so glad that Yugi can finally use his full potential now! I knew he had it in him!”, Ishizu exclaimed happily.
Shadi added, “ Ditto! Yugi is going to show on what he’s got!”.
They were relived, most of all, that Yugi seemed much better and happier at the moment. It has been so long since they ever seen him genuinely smile. That kind of smile, was a one that could warm the coldest of hearts. ‘I thought that smile was long gone, thanks to those ingrates!”, Ishizu thought as she continued to watch the young man.
Back in Kant, Meis regained his strength and stood up. “Okay, now!”, he stated excitedly.
He looked at Yugi on the couch and asked, “You ready to start your training, Yugi?”.
Yugi jumped off the couch excitedly and replied, “Yeah!”.
The two started to walk out of the room together, when Metalia stopped them. “Hold on.”, she said. The two stopped, and turned around to face her.
“Meis, I feel that you have to tell the others.”, she told him.
Meis quickly agreed with her. “How about after you train him, you get everyone to come here and tell them everything?”, she suggested.
Meis thought for a moment, and said, “Sounds like a good plan to me.”. Metalia and Yugi smiled at this, then a loud sound came out of nowhere.
“It’s the grandfather clock. It looks like night has fallen.”, Meis said. Sure enough, the trio saw through a window that the sun was nearly gone. The moon was rising slowly in the air, and the stars were coming out in all their glory.
“How about we start tomorrow, Yug?”, Meis asked him. Yugi looked up at him and nodded his head.
“Okay. Well, I better be on my way back home.”, Metalia stated.
She went over to Yugi, kneeled down, and gave him a soft kiss on the forehead. “Good night, my brave savior.”, she whispered to him. Yugi blushed a deep crimson at this, knowing on why she said that. She then got up and gave Meis a hug.
“Good night too, Meis.”, she said to him. Meis said good night too, and the woman up and left the mansion.
Meis looked at Yugi and said, “Well, better get you settled in. There’s some empty rooms upstairs, so I’ll have Jennifer and Nina help you out.”. He then clapped his hands loudly, and two lovely maids stepped in. One of them was Jennifer, a beautiful blonde. Nina was a very beautiful brunette.
“Yes, Master Meis?”, they both said simultaneously.
Meis smiled at them and said, “This is our new guest, Yugi Moto.”. He introduced Yugi to the two maids. Yugi blushed a bright red at them and bowed his head to them.
“H-hello.”, he said nervously.
Meis chuckled at this. The two women bowed to him in kind and said, “Good to see you, Mr. Moto.”.
Yugi lifted his head up and said, “No, no. Just Yugi, please.”.
The two looked at him warmly and Jennifer said, “As you wish.”.
Meis then ordered, “Please help Yugi settle in for tonight.”.
Meis then left to go to bed himself, turning around to pat Yugi on the shoulders and said, “Good night, Yugi.”. He then left Yugi alone with the two women.
“Okay! Follow me, Yugi.”, Nina told Yugi kindly. Yugi re-adjusted his backpack on his back, and followed the two ladies. Leaving the living room, he got a good glimpse of the rest of the house. It was really a sight to see! Exquisite paintings hanging on the walls in elegant portraits, expensive looking antiques everywhere, and lovely furniture all around!
“Wow! Meis has some taste!”, he exclaimed in awe.
Jennifer looked behind her and explained, “Oh, this is not all of Master Meis’s belongings. Some did belong to his father, Cliff Triumph.”. Yugi was still amazed that the Triumph family had good taste. Climbing a long flight of stairs, the two ladies soon stopped at a door. Nina opened it, and Yugi walked in. He was amazed on what he saw!
He was now standing in a room that was fit for a prince! A large, double-size bed was in the middle of the room, with a very beautiful cover on it and very large pillows. Yugi put down his backpack in a corner, and suddenly leapt onto the bed like a excited little kid. He found out that the bed was very soft, much softer then his old one. He then sat up and got a good glimpse of the room. It had a huge dresser made out of the finest timber, polished and very expensive looking. A large dresser door was to his right, with clothing already in it. A large mirror was propped up on the right side of the wall, for vanity uses. And, a large bookshelf was propped against the left wall, loaded with books.
“Wow! This is wonderful!”, Yugi exclaimed happily.
The two ladies smiled warmly at him and Jennifer asked, “Is there anything else we can do for you, Yugi?”.
Yugi looked at them, a little embarrassed by his actions, and answered, “No. No thank you. I’ll get settled in myself.”.
The two bowed to him and said, “Good night, then.”. He said good night too before they left and closed the door. Yugi got off the bed, went to his backpack, and started to unpack his stuff.
While putting his clothes up in the dresser, he thought, ‘This is just too good to be true. Metalia, Meis, Nina and Jennifer. They are really nice and wonderful people.’. After he unpacked all of his stuff and got into his pajamas, he went to the bed and nearly fell asleep.
Before he went out, he thought, ‘I pray to God that this isn’t a dream! Its been so long since I had friends like them.’. Then, he was out.
Back in Egypt, Ishizu and Shadi were eating dinner when they saw Yugi fall asleep. Ishizu looked at the image, then turned her attention to Shadi. “It is good to see Yugi happy, after all of this time.”, she told him in relief.
He agreed with her on that issue. “You are right. It has been far too long since Yugi has shown happiness like that.”, he replied.
She nodded her head, then turned her attention back to the image of Yugi. “Thank you, fate. For bringing Yugi to his true destiny!”, she whispered.
The two finished eating, then started to clear the table. This was a good event for all of them! Shadi looked at the image and said in a low voice, “Yugi, we know you can do this! Ishizu and myself, we have faith in you!”.
At the Game Shop, Solomon was in his study. He was really puzzled now, because it was getting late and Yugi was still not home. “He is in big trouble, that is for sure!”, he said to himself as he continued to work.
Yami came in the room and patted Solomon on the shoulders, slightly surprising the old man. “Maybe Yugi decided to spend the night at a friend’s house.”, he suggested to him. Solomon though about that for a moment, then took Yami’s word for it.
“Perhaps he is, Yami. I bet he’ll be back tomorrow then.”, he told him.
Yami smiled at him, patted his shoulders once more and replied, “I think so too. Well, good night.”. Solomon gave him a hug and said good night as well.
Yami then started to walk back upstairs, chuckling at a thought. ‘I wonder who’s the poor sap that Yugi’s with? Must have been someone that’s a major loser, like him!’, he thought.
As he reached his room, he opened the door and said in a low voice, “Who would want to be that pathetic shrimp’s friend?!”. He then got dressed for bed, and soon drifted off to sleep.
