Chapter 3: Return to the Ancient Kingdom


Yugioh flies on as night falls. The night is full of stars, and a full moon is out. It is a beautiful and perfect night for flying. Yuig is sleeping peacefully in Yugioh's arms. Yugi put his arms on his lap, and hs his head on Yugioh's chest. Yugioh looks at Yugi and smiles. He then looks ahead as he flies on to Yugi's house.
Meanwhile, Bakura, Yami Bakura (A/N: In this story, Yami Bakura is nice, and he has become good friends with Bakura as well as Yugi, Yugioh, Joey, Te`a and Tristan), Joey, Te`a and Tristan were all worried about Yugi's safety.
"I'm worried about Yugi," Te`a said.
"I never thought that Yugioh would do something like that. He was always there for Yugi, even when I wasn't so nice," Yami Bakura added.
"Yeah, that was totally unexpected," Bakura added.
They are unaware that Yugioh is not evil anymore. They also are unaware that he is on his way wiht Yugi, and that Yugi is safe.
"It's getting late. Let's get some shut eye," Joey said.
The others agreed, and they all slept on the floor. They were worried about Yugi, but they still managed to get some sleep.
In the morning, Yugioh awakened Yugi. "Wake up Yugi," Yugioh softly said.
Yugi awakened to feel a gentle breeze still blowing in his face. "Did you fly nonstop?" he asked.
"Yes, I did," Yugioh responded without a hint of exhaustion.
"But how can you still be flying and not be tired?" Yugi asked.
"All of my memories returned Yugi. I remember that I had these wings since birth. They didn't extend until I was 2 years of age. I remember a mysterious voice telling my parents and me that I would be able to fly to infinity and back without tiring. The voice also said that nothing in the universe can damage my wings in any way," Yugioh responded.
"Was that mysterious voice the voice that I heard in the Shadow Realm after I escaped Yami Malik?" Yugi asked.
"Yes it was Yugi, and also the voice that led me to you," Yugioh responded.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Turtle Games Shop. Yugioh landed on the steps and placed Yugi down. Yugi unlocked the door, and they went in. Te`a and the others awakened to the sound of the door unlocking, and they were standing. The moment they saw Yugioh, they were frightened.
"Oh no, Yugioh's back!" Joey shouted.
"Don't worry guys, he's back to normal," Yugi said.
It was then that Te`a noticed Yugioh's white wings.
"Hey guys look, his wings are white," she said.
The others looked and saw that Te`a was right.
"Weren't his wings black?" Tristan asked.
"I should tell you what happened. What you saw a few days ago, was the darker side of me. When all the Millennium Items and God cards were gathered, he overpowered me and took Yugi. He took Yugi to a palace in the Shadow Realm. Yugi felt the strain right away, but my darker self found the heart to put a spell on him to keep him alive. As long as Yugi didn't stretch my darker self's patience to the limit, he would be fine. If my darker self ran out of patience, the spell would be taken away, and Yugi would die. Yugi was a prisoner in the dungeon," Yugioh responded.
"But where were you?" Bakura asked.
"I was still inside my darker self's mind. He had me chained to a mental wall. I struggled to get free, but the chains were too strong. Yugi tried to get through to me, but my darker self blocked him off. Sometimes, my darker self let the block slip, allowing Yugi to get through. Unfortunately, it wouldn't last long because the block was put up again, but even stronger. Yugi even tried to escape from the palace," Yugioh responded.
"What happened?" Te`a asked.
"My darker self saw him escape and made chase.," Yugioh responded. "He caught up with Yugi and took him back to the dungeon. My darker self was getting very impatient with Yugi and vice versa. Yugi challenged him to a duel. Every time Yugi lost life points, he was physically hurt. I sensed his pain adn struggled all I could to get free. After he lost 1300 life points, I didn't want him to suffer any longer. I used the power of the love and friendship that I had for him and finally broke my chains.
"When I got through all of my darker self's barriers, I noticed that his life points were still at 1600. I knew that that was too high, and if I didn't do something to lower that, Yugi would never win. I attacked my darker self, bringing his life points down to 1000. Through the now opened link, I was able to find out what Yugi was planning to be able to help him win. I put a spell on my darker self that made him lose 400 life points on the remaining two turns that he had from the Swords of Revealing Light. Yugi was starting to lose faith in himself and I reassured him. When my darker self's life points were at 200, Yugi performed the Dark Magic Ritual and wiped out the last of his life points. But my darker self wasn't ready to quit," Yugioh said.
"What did he do?" Yami Bakura asked.
"He tried to Mind Crush Yugi, but I stopped him. Instead, he used a Crush spell," Yugioh responded.
"Waht is a Crush spell?" Bakura asked.
"A Crush spell is like a wave of extreme pressure going against your body," Yugioh responded. "Yugi was left battered and beaten even more. That was the last straw for me. Using all the love and friendship I had for Yugi, I was able to vanquish my darker self forever. I was in control of the now free body.
I went to Yugi's side and healed him. Since I was still dressed as a Pharaoh, he screamed when he saw me. I told him that everything would be all right now that my darker side was vanquished forever. For a few moments, it seemed that way. Then Yugi got taken by some kind of magic. I spread my wings, preparing to take off when a feather dropped. I picked it up and saw that it was as white as fresh fallen snow. I looked at my wings to see that they were indeed white," he added.
"Who took him?" Joey asked.
"I didn't find that out until he escaped. Through our mental link, he told me that he had escaped from Yami Malik. He was so focused on getting away, that I guess he didn't bother to look at where he was. Without the help from a mysterious presence, I wouldn't have found him in time," Yugioh responded.
"In time? Was he captured again?" Te`a asked.
"Yes he was. One of Yami Malik's duel monsters recaptured him and took him to a spot near a cliff," Yugioh responded. "I called for my duel monsters to fight Yami Malik's monsters. With teamwork, they defeated Yami Malik's monsters, except for the one holding Yugi. I went to get him, but had to stop because the monster was getting closer to the edge of the cliff, threatening to send Yugi over," he added.
"What did you do?" Yami Bakura asked.
"Yugi bit the duel monsters hand and pushed it off. I was able to destroy it with a Mind Crush. Yugi ran towards me, but Yami Malik got in between us. Yugi backed up as Yami Malik approached him; unfortunately, he forgot about the cliff. He fell over the edge. I ran over and jumped after him. I spread my wings, flew down and caught him. I flew up and hovered in the air away from the cliff, allowing Yami Malik to get a good look at me. Then I opened a gate out of the Shadow Realm and flew for here," Yugioh responded.
"What amazed me is that he flew nonstop, and he wasn't even tired," Yugi said.
"I'm sorry to say this, but I have to return to my kingdom," Yugioh said.
"Do you really have to go?" Yugi asked sadly.
Yugioh saw how sad Yugi was and said, "I'm sorry Yugi, but I have to go. Even though you will no longer have the puzzle, we will still have our mental link no matter how far we are separated." He went outside and spread his wings.
"Will we ever see each other again?" Yugi asked.
"I will be here when you need me. I will always be your guardian and friend Yugi," Yugioh responded. He took to the sky, hovered to say goodbye, and flew off.
/I'll miss you very much./
//I'll miss you too Yugi. Feel free to talk to me anytime. I'll contact you again when I get settled in the kingdom.//
Yugi and his friends went back into the shop. Then the phone rang.
"Hello, Moto residence," Yugi said as he answered the phone.
"Hey Yugi, it's grandpa. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be back in two months," his grandfather said.
"Okay grandpa, I'll see you then," Yugi said. He flips the sign to open as his friends leave for their homes.
Meanwhile, Yugioh is on his way to the kingdom. Suddenly, he feels energy around him, giving him a power boost. He flies faster than he thought possible. He is flying faster than the speed of light. He reaches the spot where the kingdom was in half an hour.
The kingdom rose out of the said. Ten minutes later, the kingdom was completely out of the sand, and all of the sand was back on the ground. The people awakened from their state of suspended animation. When they saw Yugioh, they were afraid.
"Don't be afraid my people. I am not what I used to be anymore," Yugioh said. He walked by them.
As he walked by, the people saw his white wings. They rejoiced because they knew that his wings being white meant that he was back to his more gentle self again. Yugioh went to the palace. His son and guards saw his wings and greeted him with happy hearts.
"Welcome back my liege, it is great to see that you are normal again," one of the guards said.
"I would still be evil if it wasn't for Yugi. He helped me to see the world in a new light. His purity and innocence helped me to vanquish my dark side forever," Yugioh said.
"I hope that we can meet your friend father," Yugioh's son Jaime said.
"Someday, you will get that chance," Yugioh said. "Tell everyone what I told you about Yugi," he added.
The guards obeyed and went through the kingdom. They spread the news about their ruler's friend. Yugioh and Jaime walked through the kingdom. Jaime told Yugioh what happed after he was sealed away. They spent an hour. Afterwards, Yugioh went back to his room. When he was there, the mysterious voice called out to him.
"The time to explain is now," the voice said.
"Who are you?" Yugioh asked.
"I am the Great Spirit. I was the one who gave you your wings in the first place. It was me who helped you find Yugi. You're wings are white again because of your love for and friendship with Yugi. You cared about him more than your own life, and was willing to do anything to make sure that he would always be safe. That's why you were able to vanquish your evil side," the Great Spirit responded.
"Wait a minute, my wings were white to begin with?" Yugioh asked.
"Yes they were," The Great Spirit responded. "When you became cold and hard, your wings turned black. When you were sealed away, you forgot every detail about your past, even your wings. When your memories returned, your blackened wings did as well. With Yugi's and your determination to defeat your evil self, you vanquished him for good, and your wings became white again.
As for you, you will not age another day. The same goes for Yugi, as well as he will not get any taller than he is now. Your kingdom is now under my protection. I put a spell on in that will keep unwanted eyes from seeing it. Even the most advanced technology won't be able to detect it. Also, the kingdom and its people will be transparent. Outsiders walking by will just go through it like it isn't even there. I know that you will want to show the kingdom to Yugi, so it will be visible and real for him, his friends, and his grandfather," he added.
"I'm glad to know that my kingdom and people will be safe," Yugioh said.
Then the Great Spirit told the people everything that he told Yugioh. The people were glad and worshipped the him from that day forward. For he was the only God and could easily surpass any other so-called gods.
Yugioh mentally contacted Yugi and told him everything. Yugi is glad that the kingdom and its people will be safe.
Meanwhile, Yami Malik was out of the Shadow Realm. 'I'll kill you Yugi. Even now, I have a pan to do so,' he thought.
