Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ More Than Just Saving the World ❯ Taking Over ( Chapter 8 )

Author’s Note: I’m finished this chapter!!! Including this chapter, I believe there’s at least six more chapters before this story ends…let’s hope I’ll get it done by the end of this year! I was planning to finish by the end of summer…but I realized the deadline was too tight…so sorry! But still…remember to R+R!!!!!!   Disclaimer: Checks personal inventory: tons of CDs and books…stationary…my uniform…tons and tons and tons more stuff…I see Koshi within those things…but nope, don’t see Yu-Gi-Oh so I don’t own it!   More Than Just Saving the World By Sakura Kinomoto   Chapter 8         Taking Over             &nb sp; Koshi rubbed her lips intensely. She couldn’t believe that Seto Kaiba would actually kiss her like that! How could he do that? He knew very well she likes Yami, or Yugi to him. He should never do that to a girl if he actually likes her. Is there something wrong with his mind? Is it twisted? Damn that Seto Kaiba! If it weren’t for him and his greediness for those stupid Egyptian God cards, maybe none of these would happen…but then, she met Yami because of him, didn’t she? Maybe, she should really thank him. A smile appeared on her face when she thought of Yami. Still, she now hates Seto Kaiba. “I don’t want to have anything to do with him!”   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*     ;           Yugi looked at the window agter checking his cards and was shocked to see the extra person in his room. “I remember you. You’re Shadi!”           & nbsp; “Yes, and you’ve learned much since we first met in Duellist Kingdom, Yugi. You’re beginning to understand your fate and its relation to the past, a fate that intertwines with that of the spirit that dwells with your Millennium Puzzle,” said Shadi.             “Well, I know a little bit. Like Yami was an ancient Pharaoh.”            ;  Shadi nodded. “That is correct, and together you must save the Earth.”           & nbsp; Yugi added, “From an ancient evil. I know, but are you here to explain how? Because I’m still confused.”          &nbs p;  The Egyptian man looked down at his Millennium Ankh. “I am but the guardian of the seven Millennium items. I am here because I sensed a disturbance in the mystic aliment once again.” Yugi gasped. “All seven items are on board on this vessel and as well as three as Egyptian God cards. Which means all of the objects capable of saving and destroying the world are right here.”           &n bsp; “Really?”           ;   “Hm,” said Shadi. “And the Earth’s safety rests with you, Yugi. Heed my words. If the wrong individual were to control of any of the Millennium items or an Egyptian God card, the results could be catastrophic. It nearly happened once before when Pegasus created Duel Monster.”            ;  Yugi’s eyes widened. “Really, but how?”           &nb sp; Shadi started to explain Pegasus’s trip to find the Egyptian God stones, led by him. He led them towards the Pharaoh’s tomb. Pegasus was about to unleash a power so devastating he could never comprehend or control. He wouldn’t stop the production of the cards even though every member of his Egyptian God cards team has met with mysterious disappearances. If he didn’t return them to their resting places, they will consume Pegasus and the whole world in their darkness! Pegasus realized that after he experienced the Egyptian Gods’ rage through a dream.             “And with the help of Isis, Pegasus sealed away the cards,” concluded Shadi.             Yugi asked,” Then Malik tried to steal them?” “And if he was to get his hands on all three, the results would be devastating,” stated the Egyptian man. The Millennium Puzzle glowed and Yami appeared. “I can assure you. Malik will never get his hands on all three Egyptian God cards.” Shadi fell on his knees. “My Pharaoh!” he exclaimed. “It is a great honour to be in your presence once again. And I have great confidence in you. I know you will restore order to the world and put an end to this chaos just as you did 5000 years ago. My complete faith lies in you.” Just then, an announcement came on requesting all finalists to gather once again. When Yami looked again, the man was not there. “Shadi? He’s gone.” Yugi spoke up, “It’s time. Let’s go join the others.”              “All right. The future of mankind depending on us.”   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*                Isis and Koshi sat by a window thinking. “Damn you, Seto Kaiba… I miss you, Yami…” “I’ll save you Malik,” thought Isis. “I know there’s still good within you.” Her mind flashbacked to when Malik was a little boy. “Sister, for you,” said the little Malik while holding a flower wreath. “Isis, it’s happening.” The Egyptian woman gasped with surprise. Koshi just looked at the man siiting in the chair in curiosity. “Shadi. With so much at stake, I should have knew you’d be here.” Shadi replied, “Yes. Evil once again walks the Earth bringing madness in its wake.” “I just never thought my brother would be the medium for this evil,” sighed Isis. “Oh Malik. The world must be saved, but at what cost? I don’t want to lose my brother.” Koshi stood up and looked at Isis. “Mind an explanation here?” Isis didn’t answer her. “Shadi, meet…” Shadi fell on his knee. “I am honoured to be in your presence, my Queen. You are the motivation of the Pharaoh. I hope that you shall be safe from harm and always be there for the Pharaoh.” “I will always be there for Yami. I promise,” smiled Koshi. She looked out the window for a second and when she looked beck, Shadi was gone.   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*   Everyone cheered as they Jounouchi stand p. “Hey look!” exclaimed Honda. “He’s up,” said Mai. Yami smiled, “You did it.” Shizuka clapped her hands together in joy. “That means you win the duel!” “Hey guys. I’m lost,” said Jounouchi as he looked around. “Could you fill me in please?” Anzu looked embarrassed and so does Mai. “You’re duelling in the finals.” “And you scared us, you dope! Don’t ever do that again!” Jounouchi looked ahead. “I’m sorry. Hm…who’s that? Oh yeah…I remember. His card went nuts and that’s the last thing I remember.” The guard declared, “And so the winner of the match is Jounouchi Katsuya!” “So I won?” “Yes, you did!” said Yami. “I knew you would.” Shizuka smiled in bliss. “Alright! So who’s my main man?” cried Honda as he hopped on to the playing fiels. He trapped Jounouchi with his arm but he pushed him away. “Wait. Looks like the other guy is still hurt.” Yami ran up on to the lowered playing field to join Jounouchi and Rishid. “Wake up,” said Jounouchi. Rishid’s eyes opened. “Please forgive me…Jounouchi. I’m sorry. It was an honour for me to duel with you.” Jounouchi smiled. “Well, same to you. And thanks to that lightning bolt, I won’t forget this duel for a while. Now that it’s done, you’ve got to come clean. If you’re not Malik, then who are you pal?” “I am only a servant of the real Master Malik. “Rishid lifted his hand and motioned towards the real Malik, or Namu as he’s known. “That’s Malik!?” Yami and Jounouchi both exclaimed together. They could both recognize the real Millennium Rod. Namu, no, Malik held his head in pain. “Admit you true identity,” shouted Yami. Malik let go of his head.” Yes, it’s true. I am the real Malik, you fools.” “So Namu lied to us all along?” asked Anzu. “Namu?” repeated Malik. “He was a disguise to get close to Yugi. Jounouchi called him, “You little worm.” “He’s the one who brainwashed you,” said Yami. Malik laughed. “So, Pharaoh, we finally meet face to face. Now, at least, I can finish the job my pathetic servants couldn’t! Yugi, your puzzle and power…” His voice changed to a evil one and somehow, his face changed too, “…will soon be where they belong.” He grabbed his head in pain again. “Oh no,” exclaimed Rishid. “I was afraid of this. We’re all in great danger. Beware, the great evil hidden within.” Frowning, Jounouchi asked, “What are you talking about?” Rishid replied, “Master Malik has a darker side and I am unable to contain it anymore. It’s too late now. “Then he fainted. “What’s too late?” asked Jounouchi. The groans of Malik grew in sound and in pain. “Let me out, you can’t restrain me anymore,” said the dark voice. All of them watched in shock as Malik screaned, light surrounding him. “I’m gonna file this in the category of not good,” said Jounouchi. Yami asked, “Malik, what’s going on?” “I’m finally free again.” Malik was no longer Malik. His hair was wilder, his voice a lot deeper and more evil, his eyes gave out the darkest look imaginable. The Millennium sign appeared on his forehead. “Which means I can do things my way. I was restrained for many years by that fool, Rishid.” “Who are you?” questioned Yami. Marik answered, “I’m the true Malik and I’m not as kind of the one you’ve come to known. And soon, I’ll finish the job he couldn’t complete and strip your of your powers. For I deserve to be Pharaoh, not you. So get ready for the real battle. When I’m through with you, your puzzle will be around my neck where it belongs and you’ll be trapped forever in the realm of eternal darkness, along with your friends. And Rishid here as well.” The true Pharaoh grew wide-eyed hearing the plans of the evil Marik. He would agree with Jounouchi, filing in this category of not good. What did he just do, pulling all his friends into this dark mess? What had he done? Jounouchi said, “Hey pal, get a life.” “You fool. Thanks to Rishid’s failure, I now have a life. Of course by failing, Rishid did prove one thing. Only a chosen few could control the Egyptian God cards. Kaiba, you’re one.” Marik looked at Seto. “Heh! Mali, I’m sick and tired of hearing these Egyptian fairy games. I control Obelisk the Tormentor because I am a master duellist.” Marik smirked. “Don’t deny your ancient past. You’ll find you can’t escape your 5000 year old memories. You’ll learn in good time. Your role in this game runs deeper than you can imagine. However, that won’t matter once I take over. Yugi, the battle for the Pharaoh’s power will begin right now. A conquest 5000 year old in the making and there’s no turning back. Haha! The great Egyptian God monsters will serve and protect me while I rule the Earth as the new Pharaoh! Hahahaha!”   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*   Koshi looked at her deck and made a quick decision. She took out a card and was about to go out the door when Isis asked her. “Where are you going Koshi?” “I just want to give something to Yami,” Koshi replied. Isis sighed within her mind. What has to come will come. “Very well, but please be careful. My brother…” The girl smiled. “Don’t worry, Isis! I’ll be fine. I’ll be careful. Once I find Yami, I’ll be safe, right? Don’t worry!” With that, she left the room. She didn’t’ hear Isis sigh at all.   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*   She titled her head in question as she walked through the hallways of the blimp. Now where was Yami’s room? She remembered seeing the number two on a room’s door somewhere here. She looked from side to side until she bumped into something, or rather someone. “Well, what have we got here?” Koshi gasped as she looked up. This wasn’t good. “Malik!” she exclaimed. Marik looked down at the navy hair girl. He remembered when his better side captured this girl. She was the Queen. A plan started to form in his head when he began to remember something from the Ancient Scriptures and he began to laugh. The girl shivered in fear and started to back up. She could see that this wasn’t the Malik she saw before. This Malik was much more darker and much more evil. Now why did she leave Isis’ room? Lifting up his Millennium Rod, Malik said, “Don’t go anywhere, Queen. I have plans for you.” His Rod started to glow and kept Koshi in her mind. “Meet me, Queen, after my duel ends. I have much more planned for you.” Her eyes lost its focus and she was like a lifeless doll. Suddenly, Malik noticed the card she held. He took a look at it and smirked. “Well, I’ll take this rare card with me. Remember, Queen.” Then he left for his duel. Soon, Koshi gained back conscious. “What happened?” she thought. Something did but she wasn’t sure what. She thought for a moment but couldn’t grab hold of any memories that just happened. She shrugged her shoulders and decided to go back into Isis’ room.   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*   Koshi fell off the chair, clutching her heart in pain. She screamed and gripped the arm of the chair. Isis rushed over to her side. “Koshi? Are you okay? What’s wrong?” “Yami…” She couldn’t say much but she could feel it. Yami was getting hurt, she could feel it… Yami was using his body to take on an attack like she did before. He was getting weak…and so was she. Then she fainted. “Koshi!”   *&*&*&*&*&*&*& amp;*   Endless brick hallways and stair surrounded her. Koshi wondered, “Where am I?” Then a familiar figure caught her attention. Was it… “Yami!” The figure turned around and was obviously surprised about her presence. She ran right into his arms. Once she was safe in his arms, she started to complain. “Why did you that? You didn’t have to use your body you know…you could have gotten hurt! I don’t want you to get hurt.” Yami smiled at her endless ramblings. “Koshi, you know I had to save Jounouchi and Mai from Ra’s attack. Besides, you did that for me didn’t you? You blocked, well tried anyways, to block Slifer’s attack. We just think the same way.” The girl stuck her tongue out playfully. “Whatever. Where are we anyways? I don’t know this place.” “We’re in my soul room.” “Ha? Why are we here? Actually, how did I get here?” Shrugging his shoulders, Yami answered, “I don’t know. I just want to know if you’re safe or not.” Koshi gave Yami a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. I’m fine. Really.” “Good to know,” said Yami as he gave Koshi a small peck. A peck became a deep kiss that showed how much they missed each other. “You better go back. I love you,” whispered Koshi once they let go of each other. Yami was a little surprised by her confession but was about to answer when darkness suddenly overcame both of them.   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*   Marik chuckled at the lifeless doll in front of him. “Perfect!” he said to himself. He let go of control of Koshi’s mind and her eyes gained back focus. She jolted at the sight of Marik and backed up a few steps. Her eyes said it all. “What do you want with me?” The yami laughed at the timid little rabbit he had before of him. “Why are you so sacred, my Queen? You don’t even know what I want to do with you yet. “You shut up, you worm! You don’t deserve to call me Queen. Besides, I doubt you even care if I’m Queen or not,” spat Koshi with hatred. “That’s where you’re wrong,” chuckled Maik. “I do care if you’re the Queen or not because you have something I want and you’re an important part of my plan.” The girl glared at him. “I don’t care of I have something you want or not. I just know that I don’t want to have anything to deal with you or your evil plans of taking over the world.” “I’m afraid that’s not possible, my Queen,” Marik said as he lifted his Millennium Rod in front of the frightened Koshi’s face.   *&*&*&*&*&*&*&*   Author̵ 7;s Note: I’m very evil…don’t you just want to curse cliffhangers? Well, I do…it’s so fun giving them out…but once you read them…cliffhangers are just pure torture! Don’t you agree? Ah well…wonder what will happen to Koshi? Guess!
