Chapter 14


The duel started like any normal duel, except that Yugi's deck was on the left side of his field instead if in the right.


"You go first," Darin said.


"All right then." Yugi looked at hand and found his weakest card, but it wasn't the weakest card in his deck. "I play Sliver Fang in attack mode."


"Is that the best you can do?" Darin asked. He also played his card in attack mode, "I play the Rogue Doll, and I attack your Silver Fang."


-Good card, - Yami spoke up. -But you've got better ones. -


-We have better ones. - Yugi corrected him as he played another card. "I play the Stone Soldier in defense mode," Yugi said as he laid the card out, "and I also play this card face down." Yami grinned as Yugi put down the Mirror Force trap card. He knew that Yugi wouldn't use it now, but he had it out for later.


"You're going on the defensive?" Darin asked. "What kind of King of Games are you?"


"A smart one Yugi answered.


"Oh well," Darin said as he played a new card, "I play Juiri Gumo in attack mode, and I attack your Stone Soldier."


"Fine by me." Yugi drew his next card. "Now it's time for you to on to the defensive. I play Gaia the Fierce Knight, in attack mode, and I attack your over grown spider."


Darin looked at him in shock; he hadn't expected that card coming, nor would he be expecting any of the other cards Yugi put into play next. He switched his Rogue Doll into defense mode and played another card face down in the same position.


"Now who's on the defensive?" Yugi asked as he drew a card. "I play Curse of Dragon, and I'll use my fusion card to combine it and my knight to create, Gaia the Dragon Champion." He didn't want to take any risks in attacking face down monster, so he took out his Rogue Doll.


"How'm I supposed to beat that?" Darin asked. He played another card face down in defense mode and ended his turn.


Yugi played his Celtic Guardian and used that and his Dragon Champion to take out both of Darin's face down cards.


"Well," Darin said. "Now that you've played that Celtic Guardian, I can play my Mystic Clown in attack mode and take it." He did the exact thing, but left his clown unprotected.


"You may have taken out my Celtic Guardian," Yugi said, "but you left it unprotected, making it an easy target for my Dragon Champion." He attacked the clown, bringing Darin's life points down to seven hundred, while he still had sixteen hundred. "Now who's in the lead?"


Darin was shaking with rage, but when he drew a card, he relaxed. "I play Barrel Dragon in attack mode, and I also use Machine Conversation to power him up two hundred points, making it so I can attack your Dragon Champion." He attacked and took out Yugi's Champion, but Yugi wasn't worried, whatever he played next would make sure his Dragon was destroyed.


He drew a card, and listened at Yami cheered in the back of his mind. "I play the Dark Magician in defense mode."


"I guess that's all you can do with my unbeatable dragon the field," Darin said with a grin. His sister had come over during the match and looked very pleased with her brother. "I will now attack your Magician."


"Wrong," Yugi said as he flipped over his Mirror Force trap card. "You forgot I laid this card down near the beginning of the duel, and now your Dragon is the one going to the Graveyard."


Darin seemed to fall behind in the duel now, he played all of his cards in defense mode, but Yugi took them all out. Only did Yugi actually lose some life points was when Darin used Brain Control on his Dark Magician and attacked a card Yugi had put on the field for the fun of it.


"That was something I wasn't expecting," Yugi said as he drew a card. Again Darin had played a monster in attack mode unprotected, and it would cost him the duel. "I play the Book of Secret Arts to power up my Magician, making him three hundred points stronger, and I'll have him attack your Giltia the Knight, taking out the last of your life points."


Darin slouched in his chair in and began to collect all of his cards up. "That was humiliating."


"How so?" Yugi asked.


"I hardly ever lose a game," Darin said as he put his deck in his pocket.


"I don't think you've been up against someone as experienced as Yugi," Tea said. Darin and his sister folded up the table without a word and went back to their parents.


"Whew," Joey said, "I thought he would've jumped over the table and strangled Yugi."


"He probably didn't because his parents are here," Bakura said.


"Who cares what Darin did or didn't do," Tea said, "Yugi won the duel."


"Yeah," Joey said, "it seems like your back to normal now Yug."


"If I were back to normal I'd be standing on my own two feet and not sitting in this thing," Yugi said.


"Well at least this time the field didn't blow up on you," Tristan said.


"Don't remind me," Yugi groaned.


The wind blew and Bakura looked up at the sky, "Clouds are coming in, we should get Yugi back before it starts to rain."


"Yeah," Joey said, "and I don't want to get wet either."


"Who would?" Mai asked as they headed out of the park. As soon as they entered the game shop it started to pour.


"Just in time," Mai said,


"And not a moment to soon," Grandpa said as a burst of thunder sounded from the sky.


"We're not going anywhere for a while," Joey said.


"And who might this be?" Grandpa asked as he walked over, eyes on Mai.


"I'm Mai Valentine," Mai answered as she shook Grandpa's hand. "Yugi's told me all about you."


"And Yugi has told me all about you," Grandpa said with a smile. They were about to say something more, but then the thunder crashed so loud over the shop it sounded like an explosion, then the lights went out.


"Well this is good," Joey said.


"I have some flashlights back here somewhere," Grandpa said as he felt and rummaged around the back of the counter.


"Let me help you Gramps," Joey said as he walked forward, but he had forgotten that he was on the other side of Yugi's wheelchair, and when he took one step to many he trip right over it and Yugi.


"Joey!" Yugi hissed in pain.


"Sorry," Joey said as he sat up and rubbed his head.


"What happened?" Grandpa asked.


"Joey tripped over Yugi and the wheelchair," Tea answered.


"Ouch," Grandpa said as he continued to look for the flashlights. "I can't find them, it's too dark."


"That's not good," Tristan said. Then a bolt of lighting crashed to the ground outside the shop, making the whole place shake like there was an earthquake going on. Things thudded and crashed around them. The noise only stopped when the shop stopped shaking.


"That wasn't good," Joey said.


"Is everyone all right?" Bakura asked.


"Yugi?" Tea asked.


"I'm fine," Yugi answered, but it sounded like a strained whisper.


"If only I could find those flashlights," Grandpa said as he began to rummage around again.


"I can't even see my hand in front of me face," Tea said, but then she could. She looked down to see Yugi's Millennium Puzzle glowing just enough to see where you were going.


"All right Yugi," Joey said as went over to Grandpa so he could help. "Found one, all right Yug, shut it down." The light went out automatically and Joey turned the flashlight on so Grandpa could see where the rest of the lights were. They found three more handheld ones and two battery powered lamps.


Grandpa turned on both of the lamps and they all looked at the damage. "Can't do anything until tomorrow morning," he said.


"Did the wind blow the door open?" Tea asked as she felt the wind against her.


Joey pointed a flashlight beam toward the door; all the glass had been shattered. "Whoa."


"I can't just leave it like that," Grandpa said. "Joey or Tristan, could you come with me please?" Joey followed him into the house, leaving the others in the shop.


"Are you okay Yugi?" Tea asked as she stooped down to his level. Tristan had a flashlight and turned it on so everyone could see. Yugi didn't look too good. He was pale and breathing hard, obviously still in pain from when Joey tripped over him.


"You never seem to catch a break do you?" Mai asked. Joey and Grandpa came back in, Joey was carrying a tarp and Grandpa had some nails and a hammer.


Being careful of the glass, he and Joey nailed the tarp to the door so the wind and rain couldn't get in.


"There," Grandpa said. "Now lets go inside." They all followed him into the house. He had already set up more lamps in the living room so they could see when they walked in.


"Man, every day somethin' screwy happens," Joey, said as the sat down.


"More now since I came home," Yugi said softly.


"So what did you guys do at the park?" Grandpa asked, trying to lighten everyone's mood.


"Well, first Mai got Yugi out of his morning mood," Tea said.


"Yeah," Joey said sniggering, "then she tried to steal your boyfriend."


"Shut up Joey," Tea snapped as Bakura rolled his eyes.


"Yugi beat Darin in a duel," Tristan said.


"You mean that boy that nearly killed Yugi at school?" Grandpa asked.


"Yep," Tea said. "It was really good, Yugi looked like he was toying with him the whole time, but Darin didn't even realized it, even after the duel was over."


"Yeah, Yugi really showed him," Joey said. "Though I thought that when he played that Barrel Dragon Yugi was toast, but then I remembered the trap card he set."


"Let me guess," Grandpa said, "Mirror Force?"


"Yes," Yugi answered.


"I know my deck," Grandpa said.


"I hope this rain stops soon," Tea said. "Or at least the power comes back on."


"We'll have to wait for that answer," Tristan said as he looked out the window.
