Chapter 6: Yugioh's Secret is Revealed

It has been two months sence Yugioh returned . Yugi is more cheerful. The privacy issue has finally been solved. Things have been quiet since the Cyber Commander incident. But Yugi, his friends and grandfather know that the peaceful time won't last.
Yugi was currently thinking about going to the new mall that opened last week. He really wanted to look around because the people that been there said that there was a lot of variety of stuff in there. He hoped that Yugioh would want to go as well. 'Maybe Yugioh will go with me. I hope he will want to go,' he thought.
Yugioh was watching television with Solomon. They were watching The Lion King (A/N: I don't know about you, but that is my favorite movie). Yugioh was thinking the same thing as Yugi was.
'I really want to look around that mall. I hope that Yugi will want to come too,' Yugioh thought.
After half an hour, Yugi finally propped the question. "May we go to the mall to look around?"
"Actually, I was going to ask you something similar. In other words, it's all right with me Yugi," Yugioh responded.
"And it's definitely all right we me," Solomon said. "You need to get out more Yugi. The incidents that happened in the past shouldn't affect your life like this. You don't go out as much as you used to, and you need to have more fun than you've been having since these incidents. You're starting to resume that, but you can do a lot better."
"I have Yugioh on the getting out more part. I don't know what I would've done without his encouragement and support," Yugi said.
"You don't have to worry Yugi. I am back, and I have no intention of going away unless it is necessary," Yugioh said.
"What do you mean by necessary?" Yugi asked.
"What I mean by that is if there is something going on in my kingdom that only I can help with," Yugioh respnded.
"Well, are you two going to just stand there, or are you going to the mall?" Solomon asked.
Yugioh took a firm hold of Yugi's hand. "Ready?" Yugioh asked.
"Yes, I'm ready. Let's go," Yugi responded.
Yugioh teleported from the Turtle Games Shop and to an alleyway in the back of a mall. They walked to the front, and entered the mall. They are awestruck. The place is gigantic.
"Wow, this place is huge," Yugi said.
"It is pretty big. I heard that this place is thirty stories tall," Yugioh said.
"Well, where should we start?" Yugi asked.
"Where should we start what?" Yugioh asked back.
"Where should we start looking," Yugi responded.
"Let's start on this floor. We can go up and look around each floor from there," Yugioh said.
"Okay," Yugi said.
Yugi and Yugioh began their tour by looking around the first floor. They came across a lot of shoes, clothing, toy and game stores.
"Let's go to the next floor," Yugi said.
"All right," Yugioh said.
As they went up the escalator, some girls tried to hit on Yugioh. He jsut ignored them completely.
'I have better things to do than flirt with them,' Yugioh thought.
Yugi and Yugioh were unaware of the danger lurking within the mall. There was a robbery on the 20th floor. There were three black muscular male robbers. They were wearing black clothing, shades on their eyes, scarfs around their mouths and caps on their heads. They were completely covered which was a good way to avoid the security cameras that were inside from getting a good shot of their faces. The leader of the group then pulled out a gun and fired a shot in the air. He looked the most muscular of the three. Then he spoke out.
"All right, everyone down on the ground now! If you cooperate, this will be quick, and no one will get hurt," he said.
Everyone cooperated by getting down on the ground.
"All right Lenny, Bobby, get everything from out of this store, and move on to the next one. I'll make sure that no one tries anything while we're robbing," the leader said.
"You got it Boss," Lenny said.
Lenny and Bobby then proceeded to the jewelry cases. They smashed the glass and picked the cases clean. Then they proceeded to the cash register. They picked the cash register clean as well.
"I would like to thank you for these donations. They will help us to fufill our greatest wishes," the leader of the criminals said.
Then the criminals put their stash in a box that appeared from out of nowhere. When they were finished, the box disappeared (A/N: Now this should make you wonder. How did they get a magic box? The answer is not Yami Malik, so who else could it be? You will find out around the end, I promise).
The robbers proceeded to the other stores on the 20th floor. They robbed the stores of all money and/or jewelry, put the stash in the box, and continued on. They kept some of the jewelry out (A/N: That is a big mistake. Why? You will find out later on).
The robbers went to the bathroom. Fortunately for them, there was no one in there. The magic box suddenly appeared.
"This is the best robbery that we have pulled off yet," Lenny said.
"I know, this new ally sure knows his stuff," Bobby added.
"Yeah. Now let's change into something less suspicious. If we can fool the people here into thinking that we are shoppers like them, we won't have anything to worry about," the leader said.
They took off their robber's clothing and changed into casual wear. They were all wearing blue jeans, and white shirts with bulldog patterns. They put their other clothing into pull-along luggage that they took from out of the box. Then they stuffed the jewelry that they kept into their pockets.
"This should fool them. Now everyone will think that we are just ordinary shoppers," the leader said.
The box disappeared, and they went out of the bathroom. Just as the leader planned, they looked like ordinary shoppers instead of criminals. Some of the other people even stopped them for a friendly word or two. The criminals played the part well. No one suspected that they were the ones who robbed the stores.
Meanwhile, the clerks in the stores that were robbed activated their silent alarms. Police and news crews were on their way. In another part of the mall, Yugi and Yugioh are on the eighth floor. The assortment of stores seemed to be the same as the first floor even though the stores had different names.
"May we stop to get something to eat?" Yugi asked.
"Of course," Yugioh responded.
They stopped at a Teriyaki restaurant.
"Oh no, we didn't bring any money," Yugi said.
Yugioh snapped his fingers, and a wallet appeared in his right hand. "We have now," he said.
"You're amazing, you know that?" Yugi asked.
"Yes I do. Now let's get you something to eat," Yugioh responded.
Yugi ordered a Teriyaki bowl, and Yugioh paid for it. They found a place to sit and sat down. Yugioh placed the wallet down, waved his hand over it, and watched it disappear. They overheard two women talking.
"I've found a lot of good stuff on the 20th floor," one of the women said.
"Yeah, I bought some good stuff from some of the stores," the second one said.
"They have some good quality jewelry too," the first one said.
"My kids are going to love the toys and games I bought them," the second one said.
Then they left to look and shop around the store some more.
"We can at least take a look around the 20th floor. I mean it wouldn't hurt," Yugi said.
"I suppose so. Finish eating, and we'll go to the 20th floor to look around," Yugioh said.
Five minutes later, Yugi finished his lunch. They saw that the escalators were crowded. The elevators weren't too much better. There was a long line of people using the up escalators and elevators.
Meanwhile, the police and news crews have arrived on the scene. The sirens were loud enough to be heard from the eighth floor. The hum-like sound of the news vans could also be heard as well. The police and news crews took the mall by storm. The elevators were cleared as the police officers take one floor up to the 30th floor.
The news crews are also on every floor. There are some American crews, but most are Japanese. Their cameras have powerul lenses that can easily zoom up, down, in and out up to the 30th floor of any building. Their cameras also have a speaker system that can pick up sounds from hundreds of feet away.
The police have cameras as well. The difference is their smaller size. The cameras are shaped like small metallic birds with photographic eyes for taking pictures and taping what's going on.
The people in the mall just go on like normal. Some of them are warned by the police that the men who robbed the store are still in the mall somewhere.
"What's with all the police and news people?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know Yugi," Yugioh responded.
"Maybe we should worry about it later," Yugi said.
"Yeah. For now, let's go to the 20th floor," Yugioh said.
"How are we going to do that with all the people around the elevators and escalators?" Yugi asked.
Yugioh took Yugi's hand and teleported to the 20th floor. "Like that," he responded.
Fortunately, no one saw them teleport. Yugi and Yugioh went looking around, oblivious to the hidden danger.
"This floor is huge," Yugi said.
"Yes it is," Yugioh said. "Maybe we should split up. You take the left half, and I'll take the right half. We'll meet back here in the center."
"Okay," Yugi said.
They split up. Yugi looked around. He is shocked by what he is seeing. There is still broken glass on the floor of every stored he passed by.
'What happened here?' Yugi thought. On further inspection, he saw the yellow police tape almost all over the stores. 'These stores must have been robbed. I better find Yugioh and tell him about this,' he thought.
Meanwhile, Yugioh is going through the same shock as Yugi. 'What happened? These stores looked like a tornado hit them,' he thought. He looked closer and saw the police tape. 'These stores have been robbed. I better find Yugi before something bad happens.'
As Yugi goes to find Yugioh, he bumps into a black muscular man.
"Oops, I'm sorry. I didn't see that you were in front of me," Yugi apologized.
"That's okay kid. We are don't pay attention sometimes," the man said.
Yugi is about to move on when some jewelry slips out of the man's pocket. Yugi notices that the jewelry looks very new. He then makes a suspicion. "You must be the one who robbed these stores!" Yugi shouted.
The leader and the two with him know that their cover has been blown. The leader then takes Yugi hostage. The police and newspeople heard Yugi's outburst and run in the direction of the outburst. Yugioh also heard Yugi's outburst and races in the direction of the outburst.
'I have to make it in time,' Yugioh thought. He got there moments ahead of the police and newspeople. He sees Yugi being held around the chest with a knife to his neck.
The man sees Yugioh and holds Yugi tighter.
"Let him go," Yugioh said in a dangerously low voice.
"Lenny, Bobby, take care of this punk," the leader said as the police and news crews arrived.
Lenny took the first shot at Yugioh. The bullet just bounced right off his chest. The crimals are very surprised. To add on to this, Yugioh didn't even flinch. The police, newspeople and shoppers who are watching the event unfold are just as surprised.
Yugioh smirked and said, "That tickled."
The people were even more surprised by that statement. Lenny and Bobby didn't take the statement seriously and fired all their bullets at Yugioh. The only thing they got was the same result.
"Are you done yet? I am getting very annoyed and bored. I think that I should teach you a lesson that you will never forget," Yugioh said as his Pharaoh attire appeared in the place of his disguise.
The people are surprised beyond all reason now. Yugioh didn't care about his slip up because he had a more important thing to worry about.
'I've got to help Yugi,' was all his mind told him. He then ran by very fast. As he ran, he knocked the two men unconscious with a swift hit to the back of their heads.
The witnesses, newspeople, police and the leader of the criminals don't know what to think now. Yugioh then approached the lead criminal.
The criminal held the knife closer to Yugi's neck. "One more step, and your little look-a-like friend dies," he said.
Yugioh stops his approach as he waits for the criminal's next move.
"Drop the knife! Do it now! We can shoot you before you even try to kill the young boy," the police said with their guns drawn.
The criminal knows that the police are right. Their aim is accurate enough to do just that. He drops the knife, but still holds on to Yugi. The police approach slowly, guns still drawn. The criminal backs up to the banister, looks down and gets an idea.
"We're pretty high up. I suggest that you back off unless you want to see this innocent young boy fall to his death," he said.
The police did as the man said.
'I'll send this squirt over anyway. It will teach him to mind his own business,' the criminal thought. He continued to get closer to the banister. He got to the edge and prepared to push Yugi off.
'Oh no you don!' Yugioh thought as he approached the man in an attempt to stop him.
Unfortunately, the man kept his eyes on Yugioh the whole time. He knew that Yugioh would make some kind of attempt to stop him.
"Say goodbye to the boy," the criminal said. Then he pushed Yugi over.
"Yugioh!" Yugi shouted.
"YUGI!" Yugioh shouted back. He ran to the edge, spread his wings and jumped off. He knew that he had no choice but to reveal his greatest secret.
"What? He has wings?" The criminal asked.
The police, newspeople and witnesses were in the same state of shock and amazement.
"This is the most unbelievable day I've had ever witnessed," one of the shoppers said.
Meanwhile, Yugioh caught Yugi at the 15th floor. "Are you all right Yugi?" he asked.
"Yes, thanks to you," Yugi responded. "But now your secret is out," he added.
"Oh Yugi, I don't care. I had a feeling that I would be exposed sooner or later anyway," Yugioh said. Then he flew up. He hovered in the air away from the banister of the 20th floor.
The police had all three criminals in handcuffs. Then the box used to keep their stash appeared. Some of the police and people helped to give the loot to its owners.
/Yugioh?/
//Yes//
/Can we go home now?/
//We sure can// Yugioh said as he flew to one of the huge windows that shows what is outside. He unwrapped his arm from under Yugi's knees and stretched it out. His hand glowed blue, and he moved it to the right.
Amazingly, the window opened. Yugioh flew out, closed the window back, put his arm back under Yugi's knees, and flew for home.
"He just opened and closed that window with a gesture of his hand," one of the reporters said.
"Yeah, that is very amazing. That window isn't made to open or close," another said.
"I know. I have never seen anything like this before today. A boy who is a real live Pharaoh from the ancient times. I wonder how he can still be alive. His powers and abilities are amazing. He can't be hurt as we witnessed," a policeman said.
"Yeah, and his wings were magnificent. I've never seen wings so white," another policeman said.
"I've never seen a person who can fly on their own like that. He saved that young boy's life," a third one said.
"Well according to what we heard, the young boy's name is Yugi and the older one's name is Yugioh," a fourth one said.
"Yugi? As is the World Champion of the Duelist Kingdom?" a reporter asked.
"The same," the policeman responded.
Meanwhile, Yugioh landed on the front steps of the game shop. He put Yugi down and retracted his wings. Yugi opened the door, and they went in. Solomon saw the look of urgency on Yugioh's face.
"What happened?" Solomon asked.
"Turn on the TV and you'll see," Yugioh responded.
It was then that Solomon saw Yugioh in his Pharaoh attire. Solomon turned on the TV and saw that there was a breaking news story about the mall.
The reporter said, "If you're just tuning in, an amazing site took place at the mall today. What you are about to see is exactly what happened at the mall. It will probably leave you speechless." The reporter showed the footage from what happened earlier.
Solomon watched the whole thing as it was shown. He understood the look of urgency in Yugioh's eyes. "I had a feeling that your secret was going to be discovered Yugioh, but not like this," he said.
"I know. I didn't expect it to be revealed this way either," Yugioh said.
The reporter said, "Witnesses say that they have only seen something like the winged Pharaoh in their wildest fantasies. They also said that it was like an angel had been sent down to protect the young duelist. As soon as the criminals were captured, a box appeared from out of nowhere. When opened, it was discovered that all the money and jewelry stolen were in there."
"How did they get that magic box?" Yugi asked.
"It was probably from Yami Malik," Yugioh responded.
"In this case Yugioh, you're wrong. Yami Malik had nothing to do with what happened at the mall. That was the work someone more poweful than him," the Great Spirit said. "I made the box reappear so that the stores could have their stolen property returned," he added.
"Who is this enemy?" Yugi asked.
"That, I can't tell. You will find out in time though. All I can say is that you will have to really be on your guard Yugi," the Great Spirit responded. "Yugioh can only do so much. Even though this enemy is far less powerful than him, you will be a great target."
"I will keep my guard up," Yugi said.
Meanwhile, just about the entire world was shocked beyond all reason. They couldn't believe their eyes. Te`a Tristan, Bakura, Yami Bakura, Kaiba and Mokuba knew that Yugi would have to be very careful now. They knew that Yugioh could easily outwit anyone; however, Yugi couldn't.
Yugi and Yugioh were very worried themselves. How would people react towards them now that the secret is out?




Well, things are getting pretty interesting. Don't you agree? Yugioh's secret is out to the world. Preview for Chapter 7: To Get Away from it All: Yugioh takes Yugi to his kingdom until things settle down a bit. There is an unseen danger lurking within the kingdom, and it targets Yugi. Fun within the kingdom. This one will take a while to post because it is a long one. Heck, I haven't even finished planning it out yet. I've been working a little on it for the past four weeks and I'm still not done. Please be patient with me, and review to tell me how I am doing. I would really love to see your opinion. Even though I plan my chapters out before I write them, if you want to make a suggestion for what you want to see, feel free to tell me, and I'll se what I can do.
Hasta luego (Until later),
