Chapter 5: The First Confrontation

It was a rainy night on the island. It didn't rain too heavy, just steady. A cool breeze blew into the cave. Yugi shivered from the breeze. Yami dried off the blanket he had been using to gather fruit. The blanket was dirty of he washed it. He put the now clean blanket over Yugi. The next morning was a lot better. The sun shone bright, and a warm breeze blew in. Yami removed the cover on Yugi. He only wanted to gently shake Yugi awake. He ended up pushing Yugi clean through the wall instead. Yugi found himself outside the cave and with a big headache.
"Ow my head," Yugi said as he rubbed his head.
"Yugi, are you all right?" Yami asked as he ran out the new door.
"Yes, I'm all right," Yugi responded.
"Oh Yugi, I'm so sorry. I only wanted to wake you, not push you through the wall," Yami said.
"It's all right Yami. Next time, be careful of your own strength," Yugi said.
"I'll try," Yami said.
"Having some trouble my son?" Zeus asked as he appeared.
"Yes I am. I only wanted to gently shake Yugi awake. Instead, I pushed him right through the wall," Yami responded. "I didn't mean to."
"I know Yami. Would you like to train so you can control your abilities?" Zeus said.
"I would like that father," Yami said.
"So be it," Zeus said as he disappeared.
The island shifted as a field immerged from the bottom of it. Yami carefully scooped up Yugi and flew into the air until the ground stopped shifting. The shifting stopped a few moments later to reveal an obstacle course. Yami landed and set Yugi on his feet.
"Wow. You could become faster and stronger in this place," Yugi said with amazement.
"It will be the perfect place for me," Yami said as he walked over to the huge stone slabs.
There were also some things that didn't require a lot of strength to lift, for him anyway. Yami walked over to one of the slabs and easily lifted it with only one hand. Then he threw it at a target. The target was fifty feet away, and the stone completely smashed it.
"Good aim," Yugi said.
"Thanks," Yami said.
The obstacle course was very large. It was broken into 8 stations. The stations themselves were large. There were strength training, archery, sword fighting, balance training, speed training for land, air and water, martial arts training, magical training (A/N: Now that Yami has new abilities, he must learn to control his powers and his abilities separately) and endurance training stations. These were no easy tasks. Yami trained hard in each station and finished in two years. He could've finished in only one year, but he wanted to make sure that he had his abilities in full control.
Afterwards, the obstacle course disappeared.
"So Yugi, what do you want to do now?" Yami asked.
"Get a bird's eye view of the island," Yugi responded.
"All right," Yami said smiling. He picked up Yugi and flew off.
They were silent as the air tour continued. Yugi loved looking at the island from the air.
"A fine day for flying," a feminine voice said beside them.
Yami and Yugi looked beside them to see a woman wearing pink flying beside them.
"It's been a long 22 years, but now you finally know," she said.
"Yes my sister," Yami said.
"Who is she?" Yugi asked.
"Yugi, this is Aphrodite. She's the goddess of love and beauty," Yami responded.
"You are very beautiful Aphrodite," Yugi said.
"You're pretty cute yourself Yugi," Aphrodite said.
They continued flying around the island. Two hours later, they landed. Yami set Yugi down, and Aphrodite disappeared.
"Your sister seems very nice," Yugi said.
"She is," Yami said. He suddenly grew tense.
"What's wrong?" Yugi asked.
"There is something very unfriendly nearby," Yami responded.
Just then, a hydra came out from behind the trees. It looked like a giant mutated snake. It slithered towards them and coiled its long body around them. It lunged for Yugi, but Yami smacked its head back. Yami created a sword and stood in a battle position. The hydra lunged for Yugi again, but Yami sliced the head off. The head disintegrated on the ground, and the body fell limp. Yami picked up Yugi and jumped over the body. He put Yugi down, and they started to walk away. A few minutes later, they heard a rumbling sound. They looked towards the hydra. Its body coiled around a little as it sprouted two heads.
"How can that be possible?" Yugi asked horrified.
"I forgot about that. Every time you cut off a hydra's head, two more grow back," Yami responded.
"What should we do now?" Yugi asked.
"Be careful," Yami responded simply.
The two-headed hydra slithered toward them. Yami noticed something as the hydra inched closer. There was a small patch of dented skin on its belly. He didn't see that before it had its head cut off.
'It must have bruised a muscle when it hit the ground. If only I could get my sword into that spot,' Yami thought. He looked up at the heads.
Both lunged for them.
"Yugi, look out!" Yami shouted as he tackled Yugi.
The heads went over them and came back to ther first position. Yami stood up and helped Yugi up. He then scooped Yugi up and flew to a tree taller than the hydra. He put Yugi in the tree.
"Stay here until I return. Hopefully, I won't be long," Yami said as he grabbed his sword and flew back towards the hydra.
The hydra reared up in attack. That was a mistake because it also revealed the dented skin. Yami went under the two heads and thrust his sword into the dented skin. A few seconds later, he took out his sword and flew above the hydra. The hydra fell to the ground and dissolved.
"Now to get back to Yugi," Yami said. He cleaned off his sword and flew back to the tree. When he got there, Yugi was gone. He also saw that there were less leaves on the branch, suggesting a struggle. He saw a feather as well as claw marks on the branch.
He sniffed the feather. The feather had two scents. One was the scent of a bird. The other was the scent of a ferocious four-legged animal. In New Atlantis, he had a class in land, air and sea animal scents, which he passed hands down. He slowly sniffed the feather to know exactly what the scents were.
'By my senses, this feather smells like an eagle and a lion. The only thing I know that is both an eagle and a lion is a griffin,' he thought. He sensed the area and soon found the griffin and Yugi. He shot off like a bullet.
Meanwhile, the griffin was already off the island with Yugi. It took him to its nest where its children waited. It landed with him in the nest. The children looked and were very hungry. Yugi had nowhere to go because he was surrounded by the children and the mother.
"Yugi!" a voice shouted.
Yugi looked ahead and saw Yami. He stretched out his arms. Yami flew by, scooping up Yugi. Yami flew back for the island. The griffin screeched as she followed them. Yami turned and flew straight for the griffin. He fired an energy beam from his mouth. The griffin turned and headed back for its nest.
"Are you all right?" Yami asked as he flew for the island.
"Thanks to you," Yugi responded.
Yami arrived at the island in an hour and a half. He landed and set Yugi down. Meanwhile, Erick was out a swim. He was pretty powerful now, but still nowhere near as powerful as Yami. Erick had forced the counselors to teach him how to be a mage. He threatened to kill them if they didn't.
An hour later, he saw the bottom of the island. He surfaced to investigate. He swam around the perimeter of the island. Half an hour later, he saw Yugi behind a tree. He then saw Yami apparently looking for Yugi. Yugi ran from behind the tree as Yami chased him. They were laughing the whole way. Yami tackled Yugi, and they rolled five times. Yugi ended up on top of Yami.
Yami smiled and held Yugi close. Seeing them happy made Erick more determined to kill them. He came onshore. He became human in moments. He still hated humans, but the only way to fight Yami is if he could become human too. He was wearing a black T-shirt, and blue jeans were in the place of the blue fish tail. Yami got tense again.
"What is it?" Yugi asked.
"It's Erick. He's here," Yami responded as he slowly stood up and put Yugi on the ground.
Erick was soon in front of them. They saw that he was human as well.
"I thought you hated humans," Yami said.
"I do, but this is the only way to fight you since you can live on land and in water," Erick said. He hurled a fireball in their direction.
Yami deflected it with his hand. "You'll have to do better than that," he said.
"Oh I can," Erick said. He raised his hand quickly.
Yugi felt himself being lifted up quickly. "Yami!" he screamed.
"Yugi!" Yami cried.
"What are you going to do now?" Erick asked.
"This," Yami responded as he lifted off the ground. He flew higher and higher. He soon reached Yugi.
Erick was shocked, but regained his composure. He took off the spell, and Yugi dropped. Yami flew down and caught him. Yami landed and put Yugi down. Erick created a sword and lunged for Yami. Yami created a sword and blocked just time. The two engaged in a sword fight. The fight lasted only half an hour because Yami was more experienced. He ended it by knocking the sword out of Erick's hands and destroying it with a stream of fire from his hands.
Yami was holding back a lot. But he was still good despite that fact. He held the sword inches from Erick's neck. "Now you leave. Don't threaten Yugi again or you and I don't know what I'll do to you," Yami said in a menacing voice.
"We'll meet again," Erick said. He walked to the water and dove in.
"Will he be back?" Yugi asked.
"Most likely," Yami responded. "Let's head back to the cave," he added.
They walked to the cave. Yami dove into the river and threw up fish. After throwing up 12 fish, he surfaced and came onshore. He became human and wen to pick some fruit. After a few minutes, he came back in the cave with the fruit. Half an hour later, they slept.
Erick was back on the island. He walked around. He came to a cave a few hours later. He went inside and found Yugi and Yami sleeping. He smirked and walked over to them. He quietly picked up Yugi and left. A note appeared next to Yami. The next morning, Yami was the first to awaken. He stretched and turned to awaken Yugi. He found a note in Yugi's place. He read it and was shocked an very angry.
"Erick," he said angrily.


Cliffie. Sorry if this battle seemed short, but this was in anticipation of the bigger battle. Preview for Chapter 6: Battle of the Brothers: Erick stole Yugi away while he and Yami were asleep. Now Yami has to fight to get Yugi back. I hope you're still reading because this is the second confrontation and the big battle.
