Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Amengarde ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

I’m here and finally to be able to write in the YGO section. I’ve been meaning to do a fanfiction here for this category, but I never was able to get around to it. Now I’m here to actually make the best of it.

This story is an AU and it’s dosed with a bit of Final Fantasy and Fire Emblem into the mix. I was inspired by those two games to make this fanfiction and I hope it turns out okay.

This story will have Yugi x Anzu, Mai x Jonouchi, Honda x Shizuka x Otogi, Seto x Ishizu/Isis, and many more. If you don’t like the couplings, which I know there are a lot of Anzu haters, which I don’t know why would anyone hate her, then do not read this. I am a pro Anzu fan and I’m a devoted Yugi x Anzu fan.

If you’re still here and want to take a gander at this story, then go ahead. Remember, there are a lot of fantasy type stuff and no it isn’t going to be a remake of any FF or FE game. This was only inspired by them.

Okay, on with the story. If you read this, please leave a review. It will make me happy and will give me the will to continue the story. If it ends up dying then I shall discontinue it since I’m in college and I have a lot to do and I took the time to write this. If no one cares to read it, then what’s the point of writing this? Thank you for hearing me out.

Prologue:

Snow fell from the darken sky above the world. Ever so gentle it came and lightly touched the ground. During that night it had fallen deeper, covering the earth with it’s white kisses. Serenity flew through the night with it’s gentle arms. Not a sound disturbed the world and not a shadow had touched it.

Hidden within the snowing mountains, within a forest so rich and thick laid a small village. The tranquility of the world around them did not stop them from the celebration of the snow to stop them. The people of the village danced around the fire with smiles upon their face.

The village in which they lived in was untouched by the outside hands. Upon their heads laid what was the source of their uniqueness: a horn. In one of the small huts of the village was a calm family that had recently gained a new member. A child much like his father with his strange tri-colored hair was falling asleep. His mother held him softly and gently as she rocked him back and forth inside of his crib.

Her soft hands touched the pale skin of her darling baby. Long chestnut brown hair fell down from her shoulders and touched her stomach lightly. Soft sapphire colored eyes were only laid upon her child. When she opened her mouth, the mother began to sing warmly to her baby. The baby certainly enjoyed the sound of her voice as he slowly closed his grape orbs.

“Oh my little baby…” she whispered to the sleeping figure, “may you slumber with the arms of Ra wrapped around you.”

“I am sure he will do so, Teana,” spoke a voice from behind the woman, “after all, anyone that listens to your voice can forget about all the troubles in the world and feel nothing but happiness.”

“Oh! Darling, you’re back!” Let out Teana as she slowly stopped rocking the sleeping child and walked over to her husband.

Placing her arms around him, Teana hugged him tightly. It had been a while since her husband had left her on a journey to whereabouts unknown. One thing was for sure, was that he could not leave his precious family behind. As they embraced, Teana’s husband kissed her forehead lightly then released her from his grasps. Walking over to his son, he let out a sweet smile.

“How has Yugi been doing?” He asked as he placed a soft hand upon the Yugi’s cheek.

“He’s been quite the fussy one that’s for sure.” Replied the brunette Teana as she walked over beside her husband. “I swear, I think he’s growing more into you everyday.”

“Hmm…Yugi turning out to be like me? Is it that bad? Because the way you’re saying it it’s like it’s a bad thing.”

“Oh you! You’ve always have been the troublesome one.”

“Oh, I’ll show you how troublesome I can be.” Smirked Yugi’s father as he took a hold of Teana and brought her close to him.

The brunette giggled mischievously and tried to struggle out of her husband’s grasp. He hold was rather strong meaning that he wanted her to be near him and never out of his sight. As she gave in to him, Teana smiled and leaned over to kiss him. Just as their lips were about to meet, a knock at the door had disrupted them.

“I’ll get the door,” spoke Teana as she release her hold on her husband, “just rest, dear.”

Teana walked towards the door, but with each step grew closer to the door, she felt strange. Somehow she felt as if there was something wrong or as something was going to happen. Placing a soft hand upon the steel doorknob, the brunette turned the knob and opened the door. There at the doorway was a dark man with a stern face. Across his left eye was a strange scar. Placing a strong hand upon the door, he moved in.

“I’m looking for a man named Atemu,” he spoke in a dark voice. “I heard that he was in this village.”

“A…Atemu?” Replied the frightened woman as she backed a bit away. “I…I think you have the wrong house. Please…look again.”

“No. The neighbor told me that Atemu lived here….with a wife and child. You wouldn’t happen to be…the wife, would you? Now if you cooperate, I will spare you…but I wouldn’t count on the fact that your husband will be.”

“Teana!” Shouted Atemu as he rushed over to his wife.

Placing a hand upon his sword, the tri-colored hair man ran towards the dark, rugged man and sliced his blade into the man’s side. The rugged man grasped his side and tried to take a hold of the warrior. The wound upon his side made him feel rather woozy and eventually passed out. Blood fell upon the clean wooden floor. Teana stood there shocked as she never felt so frighten before.

“Teana….are you all right?” Asked Atemu as he looked at his wife with concern ruby orbs.

“Yes I am,” replied his wife, “Atemu…what are we going to do?”

“Things will get dangerous. This man….he’s one of the men that followed me on my journey. You have to take Yugi and run for it!”

“No! I am not going to leave you to die here, Atemu!”

“If you don’t go, our son can get killed. Please….think of our son.”

“Yugi….all right….I’ll take him away from here. But promise me that you’ll come back to me alive.”

“Teana, I promise that no matter what, I shall come back to you! I will find you and Yugi. Now go!”

Atemu gave his wife a soft shove, telling her that he wanted her to run now. Teana rushed over to her sleeping child and slowly brought him to her chest. She was careful as not to wake up the child so that he wouldn’t cry and give away anything. Walking fast to the door, Teana looked one last look at her husband. Atemu lightly kissed her lips before he moved her to the door.

Once she was out, Atemu took a hold of his sword and waited inside of his house. Those bastards came to get me, he thought as he held the hilt tighter. If it’s me that want, it’s me they’ll get! I will not let them hurt my family! Even if it means I’ll end up dying! Atemu waited patiently for anything to come up. A dark shadow was approaching the window of the small cottage.

Taking his blade, Atemu destroyed the candles that kept the light and hidden within the shadows of the living room. There the tri-colored man waited within the darkness. A figure emerged from the outside and stopped right above the fallen victim. Atemu could guess that the enemy had tensed when he saw his partner lie dead.

Without thinking of anything else, Atemu rushed over towards the enemy and unleashed his blade onto the man. Once that man was taken down, another one was right behind him. Atemu’s new enemy took out an axe and began to swing it in front of the tri-colored hair warrior. Atemu dodged the axe’s blade by mere inches. As his assailant swung the blade once more, Atemu ducked down and rushed underneath the axe wielder. Taking his faithful sword and buried the tip of the sword deep within the chest of the man.

Taking a moment to rest, the young father walked outside of his home and out into the village. What was in store for him shocked him beyond all believes. What…what the hell is this?! Though the amethyst eyed man as he looked on in horror. His village was being raided by the same men that were after him. Several bandits took young woman and began to kidnap them. Another bandit killed an elder of the village right in front of a group of children.

One man in particular took out his mace and rose it above his head. Just as he was bringing it down, a sword pierced through his heart. The rather huge man turned to look at the smaller man and tried to swing his mace to crush his head. Atemu pulled out his blade and delivered one final blow to the assailant’s chest. Blood fell down to the snowy ground as well as dripped on Atemu’s face.

“Get out of here!” Shouted the warrior as he looked at the children. “Find any adult from the village and run for it!”

An arrow zipped through the air and landed right on Atemu’s shoulder. The pain surged through his body. Crimson fell from his arm as he dropped his sword and looked at where it might have came from. A hidden archer in the woods stood there, looking at the fallen warrior. Taking out another arrow, the archer aimed once more at Atemu.

Pulling out the arrow, the warrior rushed over to the archer like a blind boar. Rage consumed the crimson orbs of Atemu as he thought of nothing but bloodshed. An arrow zipped past him, missing his head by several inches. Once he made it to the archer, he lifted his sword above his shoulder. The archer looked at the swordsman with much fear in his eyes.

With one slice, the archer’s head fell of clearly from the shoulders. A high scream disrupted Atemu’s thoughts. Oh no! Thought the warrior as his eyes widen. The children! Running back to the village, the tri-colored hair man reached towards where the children were. In front of him was a man dressed in a red uniform holding a chain and blade. Below him were the piles of children’s dead bodies.

“What….what did you do, you monster!?” Barked Atemu as he glared at the man with the red uniform.

“Oh! Atemu, nice to see you again.” Replied the man with the red uniform.

“Huh? You….know who I am?”

“Of course….or did you forget me?”

Atemu took a good look at the man before him. This man knows me and yet I don’t know him, thought the tri-colored hair man. But I must find out. Those beady brown eyes…they looked at me once with hatred and death. Soft blonde hair….and that red uniform….he’s…! Atemu’s eyes widen as he had finally remembered the man before him.

“You’re….King Gozaboru!” Responded Atemu as he glared at the king.

“It seems like you finally remembered, Yurick.” Replied Gozaboru with a rather smug smile. “A fine mercenary like you disappeared after I needed you for my war.”

“I told you before, I will not assist to aid you in any kind of war! You used us Yuricks for your own selfish ambitions. I freed them to get away from you and yet you still persisted into following me.”

“Well it wasn’t hard not to find you. You Yuricks all have horns on your foreheads. That’s the only thing that keeps you away from being normal humans. Maybe if you took it off, you wouldn’t have been followed.”

“Enough talk! Get the hell out of my village….before I kill you.”

“My…such hard words. Tell me….is your wife a young woman with long brown hair and blue eyes? Did she carry a baby around?”

“Wha….Teana!” Atemu’s eyes widen in horror when he heard Gozaboru talk about his wife. “What did you do to her?! If you lay one hand upon her or my son I shall kill you!”

“Don’t worry, she’s still alive…for now. My scouts found a woman who was fleeing the village holding onto a baby in her arms. And since the baby had your rather atrocious hair, we’d figure he’d be your son and that was your wife. If you hurry you might be able to see her die.”

“Teana!”

Atemu glared one more time at Gozaboru before he ran away towards any direction he thought his wife might have gone. The moon’s hidden light was no help for the warrior as he kept tripping over the loose rocks and branches. Twigs from some of the bushes scratched Atemu’s face. Blood dripped from his forehead as he tried to make sure his horn didn’t get stuck in the branches.

Just as he reached a clearance, four men appeared out of nowhere. Atemu cursed himself for being careless and took out his faithful sword. Two men rushed over towards Atemu and took a hold of their weapons. One spear wielding banding threw his weapon at Atemu. Atemu quickly dodged the weapon and took a hold of it. Using his strength, the tri-colored man threw the spear aiming directly for the chest. The bandit then fell from where he stood and down upon the ground.

Meanwhile the other men rushed towards Atemu. One man took out a spell book and began to read an incantation from it’s verses. Atemu began to swing his sword at his assailants. The blade tasted the blood of the upcoming assailants. Their bodies fell towards the ground and laid there lifeless. Atemu looked at the final person who stood in front of him: Gozaboru.

“Why you persist on defiling me?” Asked the evil king.

“You just want the power of the Millennium Puzzle, the Yurick’s most precious treasure.” Barked back Atemu as he gripped his blade tighter. “You’d kill anyone that would get in your way! Well I am no longer a servant of the House of Kaiba! Prepare to go to hell!”

“Why do we have to resort to this? But I guess….we have no choice.”

Atemu lifted his sword over his shoulders and ran towards Gozaboru. The blonde king smirked evilly as lifted his hand up in front of him and snapped his fingers. From the fingertips of Gozaboru came a dark aurora that surrounded him and twirled like a whirlpool in front of him. Suddenly, the dark aurora flew in front of him and hit Atemu.

Upon impact of the dark aurora, Atemu felt all his breath leave his body. The tri-color haired man lost his grip upon his sword. Dazed, the warrior tried to move, but he felt his body wobble. Gozaboru walked over to Atemu and kicked the warrior on his stomach. Atemu gave off a grunt as he clutched his stomach.

“My…my….” said Gozaboru. “I thought the great Atemu would be stronger then that. But I guess…you grew weak. Wait a minute…” Gozaboru flipped Atemu on his back and looked at his chest. “Where is the Millennium Puzzle?”

“I….don’t have it…” replied Atemu with a smiled that curved on his lips. “You may have finished me off, but my son will one day be stronger then myself. He will make sure you Kaibas shall never rule this land!”

“You might have killed my son off…but believe me, I’ve all ready have an heir. I found a woman with three boys. The eldest shall now pose as my own blood but sadly like what you did to my son, I’ll make sure your’s dies. Right now I have scouts after them. Very soon, you’ll be hearing your wife scream and your child cry. All….until it dies off.”

“You…son of a bit…!”

An arrow flew right into Atemu’s chest. His deep crimson eyes widen then slowly faded into lifeless orbs. Blood dripped from his lips and fell down to the snowy ground. His chest was tainted with his own blood. Everything around the warrior spun around like some sort of a whirlpool. Slowly he closed his eyes and let the darkness engulf him. Gozaboru then placed a hand upon Atemu’s horn and broke it off from his forehead.

“Atemu…” spoke Gozaboru as he walked away from Atemu’s lifeless body. “You were a great warrior…sadly you and your values prevented you from accomplishing anything. I can forgive you for killing my son, but I won’t forgive you for running away.”

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Teana ran as fast as she could. Her baby boy was still resting upon her breasts asleep. His horn punctured a part of her chest, but Teana just bore the pain as she knew her whole life was at stake. Finally she a clearing from the woods. There in front of her was the shore of the lake. Looking at her baby, she knew she had to someway cross it.

Much to her convenience, there was a small boat laying upon the shore. Thanking her lucky stars, Teana rushed over to the boat and tried to push it with one hand. Seeing that it was too heavy, she slowly placed Yugi inside of the boat. Taking off the puzzle from her neck, Teana placed it upon her baby’s own. Trying not to wake her baby up, the brunette mother moved the boat inch by inch.

Once it was in the water, the Yurick mother hopped in and started to row. From behind her, Teana could hear the voices from the men that were after her. Once she was at a certain distance, Teana looked back to see the men arrive. One of the men took out a bow and arrow and aimed at the chestnut haired woman. Once he released the weapon, the arrow flew through the wind and pierced Teana’s back.

“I got her, Gozaboru-sama!” Spoke the archer as he walked over to the king.

“What about the child?” Asked the blonde king.

“We…couldn’t reach the child, but it’s most likely without the mother, the child will die.”

“All right. Did you get the puzzle?”

“…no…we didn’t.”

“You really are idiots! I want you all to follow that boat! Get me the Millennium Puzzle!”

“Yes, sir!”

I must have that Puzzle! That fool Atemu thinks that he can outsmart me and protect the item. Well at least he’s now dead upon the ground and I shall regain the Puzzle! Thought Gozaboru as he walked towards his carriage. The time is coming at hand. Soon it shall be the time of the Amengarde to arise and take a hold of the items. It is within the Amengarde adept to unleash the true power. I must find this one. This adept and make him unleash the power.

Somewhere in another village, a woman with long brown hair and sparkling blue eyes looked over at the lake’s horizon. Day was starting to crack and a new life shall begin. The young woman walked through the shore. Her soft green dress and her dark brown cloak brushed against the snow. As she walked along the shore, she found a boat which was oddly floating in the water. A cry emerged from the boat which started the brunette’s chain of thoughts.

As the woman approached the boat, she looked inside and was shocked at what was inside. Without having anything else to think about, the young woman pulled in the boat onto the shore. The young woman placed a soft hand upon the shoulders of the large figure in the boat. Soon, the figure stirred and opened one blue eye.

“Please….” she spoke with a soft voice. “I am Teana. Please…take my son, Yugi and the Millennium Puzzle…”

“Are you…okay?” Asked the woman. “I can try to take you to a medic.”

“Please…do not trouble yourself. I am all ready dying…and I doubt someone will tend to a Yurick.”

“Yurick? You’re a Yurick?”

“Yes….please….take away the horn from my child and raise him as your own…please….”

“I…I may only know your name, but I will take care of your child. I will….as swear on my name, Mana.”

“Thank you….kind stranger.”

Teana smiled at Mana before she closed her eyes and let her final breath come out. Mana let out a frown. Even though she didn’t know the woman, she couldn’t help but feel sadness come upon her face. Holding the infant in her arms, the young woman tried to calm down the crying Yugi. I wonder what Mahaado will think about this? Thought Mana as she walked from the shore and towards her small cottage.

The small cottage was in a somewhat bad condition. Poor was her family but happy nonetheless. Mana opened the door and stepped in quietly as not to wake up, her husband, Mahaado. The brunette had managed to put the baby Yugi to sleep while she walked through the winter winds. Walking towards the fire in the fireplace, Mana sat upon the wooden chair and looked at the baby.

The baby Yugi was fast asleep and snuggled underneath the warm blanket his mother gave him. The soft rosy cheeks blushed so lightly at the fire light. His tri-color hair was so soft and was forming into the shape of what can say a star. What was surprising to Mana was the golden pyramid around his neck. Picking it up, Mana examined it closely.

This golden trinket, thought the chestnut haired woman as she let her sapphire eyes examine the puzzle, is this? Is this…the legendary Millennium Puzzle? If it is…then why…why would a little fellow like you have it? You’d have to be a Yurick to… Mana stopped her thoughts. Placing the puzzle back down, she used her hand to move Yugi’s hair out of his forehead. And sure enough, there was the dreaded horn that she feared. The horn….he has it.

“Mana….is that you?” Came a voice from behind her.

“Ma…Mahaado!” Called back Mana as she got up from her seat to look into the eyes of her husband.

From the shadows came forward a rather tall man with dark cerulean eyes and light brown hair. He walked over like a dark shadow that brewed nothing but malevolence, even though his soul was pure as snow. Mahaado stalked over to Mana and looked at what she was holding within her hands. At first he couldn’t see what was wrong with what she held, but upon eyeing the horn on the baby’s forehead, Mahaado’s face scowled in fear.

“Mana…do you realize what he is?” Asked the dark man as he looked at the child.

“Yes…” replied Mana with a soft tone.

“Then…don’t you remember what happens if we keep him any longer? The penalty of holding a creature like this is death!”

“Please! I…I just couldn’t let him die. Look at him! Does he look dangerous to you? He’s just a baby…”

“And that baby can cost us our lives!”

“Mahaado…his mother died…and he holds the Millennium Puzzle.”

“What?”

“This child…he’s the son of Atemu, the Great. He carries the puzzle around his neck.”

“…are you sure his mother is dead?”

“Yes….her body is lifeless inside of the boat.”

“…all right. I know that you’ve always wanted a child and myself as well. We will keep him as our own son. But we have to get rid of that horn.”

“Thank you, Mahaado. I promise I will raise Yugi to be a good son.”

“Yugi?” Questioned Mahaado.

“Yes, that’s what his mother called him.” Replied Mana as she smiled at her husband.

“All right…Yugi shall be his name. Now…I shall remove his horn after I bury his mother’s body. If they find her body laying around, they will come looking for him. Stay here and make sure he isn’t fussy.”

“Okay. Be careful.”

Smiling down at his wife, Mahaado took one last look at Yugi. The innocent baby laid still upon Mana’s breast and slept as if nothing in the world mattered. The dark man smiled down at the child before he left towards the door and opened it. The sun had peaked it’s rays through the horizon and touched the small little cottage. Taking one step out, Mahaado walked towards the shore where he found Teana’s body. After he buried her, Mahaado took upon one knee.

“My lady, wife of Atemu, I shall guard over your son as he was my own. I will make sure he will grow into quite a young man.” Whispered Mahaado as he began to give off a small prayer.

Once the old man was done praying, a feather fell from the sky and landed upon his head. Placing a hand upon the feather, Mahaado looked at the object. Though he was unsure about where it had come from nor what was in store for him, it was as if that day, an angel had gave him a mission. Could it be….the Amengarde is arriving? Thought Mahaado as he walked back towards his home to remove the horn.

All right! I’m finally done with this story. Oh, I dedicated this story to Millenniumon who’s a dear person in my heart. He’s a Peachshipping fan (Yugi x Anzu) and a Polarshipping fan (Mai x Jonouchi). Please leave a review!
