Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Alternate Universe Twist ❯ Mistaken Identity ( Chapter 15 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

ÿþSaiyan Moon Goddess: I'm so sorry, you guys! Sorry I didn't update earlier, but I decided to take a break from fanfiction and concentrate more on my novel. Also, I get a bad case of writer's block on summer vacation. And speaking of the novel, the abstract is finished! Yay! All it needs is revising, a few changes here and there, and soon (who knows) I'll publish it! I'm so excited! Now, for the story...

This chapter was worked out by DJ Rodriguez (Fanfiction.net)/Daniel Rodriguez (Mediaminer.org) and me. I m proud to announce Daniel as my boyfriend and fanfic partner. Thank you, Daniel-kun!

Fanfiction.net members...

To Onç-sama no Kaede: I should clear that up, huh? You see, at first I took the names for my alternate doubles randomly from my Japanese dictionary. I pointed out any word, changed a letter or two, and used it as a name. Yes, Nessuro is not a word. I took it from Nessuru . I simply changed the last letter, that s all. I hoped that cleared things enough. I thank you for pointing this out, and for your review. I may fix some other name errors.

To ukrc: I apologize for confusing you. I just didn t want the bad guy s identity to be revealed just yet. And I knew him being Yami would be no surprise. I had already thought of that. That s partly why this chapter was made for.

~Alternate Universe Twist~ By Saiyan Moon Goddess

~Chapter 15: Mistaken Identity~

Injection Fairy Lily smiled and raised her gigantic needle to stab Yugi on the back. The little warrior could only look over his shoulder as he was too late to stop her. Before the task could be complete, however, a blast of black magic came out of nowhere and hit Lily from behind. She screamed as her body exploded into particles and disappeared into nothingness.

Gasping at the sight, Yugi turned completely to see his savior. A blonde woman dressed in her magician s armor, her staff raised before her, stood in front of the closed entrance.

"Black Magician Girl!" Yugi called to her.

The Oracle smiled and bowed to him.

"Yugi-sama, please forgive my tardiness." she said. She looked up and frowned at Nessuro behind Yugi. "I had a few& complications."

"What happened to you?" Yugi asked her. "After I lost contact with you& I was so worried!"

"Nessuro captured me." The Oracle once again smiled at the savior of light. "I must thank you, Yugi-sama, for it was you who freed me."

Yugi blinked in confusion at that statement. "I freed you? How?"

"Well, I don t know what happened exactly to make you turn on like you did, but you sure let out one huge blast of your own power." Black Magician Girl chuckled. "You made the place shake like a leaf."

"I knew I should ve gotten rid of you when I had the chance." said Nessuro. "To think I was able to keep the Oracle under control, yet I am unable to control his apprentice& "

"My sensei used his remaining strength to protect me, Nessuro." said Black Magician Girl. "Now you re using him and all my friends to do your biding, just like you used Lily."

Yugi glared at Nessuro. "That was low of you Nessuro, using Lily like that!" He prepared himself for any kind of attack, careful not to make any sudden moves.

Nessuro smirked back at him. "Yugi, you are but a thorn in my side. I want to see you scream in agony. But first, it'll be amusing to see you struggle against my power."

Nessuro raised his right hand. A black-bladed, double-edged sword appeared on it. Dark energy pulsed from it. He swung it once and pointed it at Yugi.

"There's something I'd like to ask you, Yugi."

Yugi s hikari powers engulfed his katana, making it glow with white light. Light energy pulsed from it. The small warrior held it tightly.

"And that would be?"

"I know all about your alternated universe and the alternate doubles." said Nessuro. "Everyone in this universe is an alternate self of someone in yours. So I'm curious as to who this Yami person is. You said I m him, right?"

Yugi growled at the last statement. "Yeah, but his personality is far from yours."

The dark entity let out an amused chuckle. "Then I suggest you take another look behind you." He pointed his sword over Yugi s shoulder.

Yugi did as he was told, hesitantly. Cautiously, he glanced over his shoulder, to see Neil rising to his feet. The young man removed his dummy mask and hood. Yugi s eyes widened at what he saw.

"No way& " he breathed out.

Neil was an exact replica of Yami! The same blonde spikes, the same sharp eyes. The differences were that his lifeless eyes were aqua green and his hair was blue-lined.

"Yugi," Nessuro spoke, making the little warrior turn his attention back to him. "Do you remember the last verses of the Prophecy of Light? The last two, what did they say?"

"A mirror only reveals a dark waterfall, yet your reflection will be your downfall." Yugi repeated the last verses. At that, Yugi finally realized what Nessuro was saying. "That's means that...you're me!"

"So you figured it out." The entity gave him an insane look. "HAHA! Ever wondered what would've happened if you chose another path, Yugi?" His body glowed with dark power. "This is the answer."

Dark waves expand out of Nessuro's body and engulf the entire room, exposing every corner. They passed harmlessly through Yugi s body. Yugi stood strong.

"I will never fear or succumb to the darkness of evil, Nessuro." said Yugi. "I'm the Light in the Darkness; I am the thing that people cry out for justice! I am true."

Yugi s speech only made Nessuro chuckle more. The dark waves may not harm him or Dark Magician Girl, but they reached and passed through Neil s body. His soul came out right through his mouth like it was smoke. The waves also hit Koneko and Kage. They shared the boy s fate. All three bodies collapsed to the floor, lifeless. This didn t go unnoticed to the savior of light and the Oracle.

"I'M AN ALLY TO GOOD, AND A NIGHTMARE TO YOU!" He exploded with white-light, angry. His power once again pulsed through the room, making it shake. The dark waves crumbled and vanished.

"Yugi-sama, be careful!" Black Magician Girl yelled.

Yugi took powered-up katana up, and charged in head-first into battle. With his black sword ready, Nessuro followed suit. Both blades made contact and a large shockwave of both light and darkness filled the entire dark grounds.

Black Magician Girl glanced at the Black Magician standing near the throne with a sad look.

"Oh, sensei." she said. "Why did it have to happen this way?"

The Black Magician noticed the blonde girl and stared. Meanwhile, Yugi was having a bit of trouble keeping up with Nessuro s savage techniques. The guy was both skillful and ruthless. Despite the danger, Yugi could really put to used what Marlene had taught him.

**********

Back in Yugi s universe, his friends were watching the fight on their TV, as well as keeping an eye on Marlene s body, which they lay on the couch while they sat on the floor in front of it.

"Damn." Yami swore. "I can t contact Yugi! Nessuro must ve blocked our link somehow."

"So, what does that mean for us?" said Shizuka, eyes glued to the TV.

"Nothing." said Ryou. "We can only watch. Yugi is on his own."

"No!" Jou protested. "There has got to be something we can do to help!"

"I m serious, Jou." said Yami. "Even without the link, Marlene could've done something. But her soul was taken. There's nothing we can do."

**********

Yugi s blocked all of Nessuro s blows. Whatever the evil one threw, the savior could block and retaliate; and whatever Yugi threw at him, Nessuro would do the same.

"We re evenly matched, Nessuro!"

"Ha!" Nessuro laughed, not convinced. "That's what you think! You have a weakness that I left years ago!" At those words, he sent the Black Magician a mental command.

Oracle, won't you say hello to your student?

Black Magician reacted immediately. He took his staff and attacked Black Magician Girl, sending a blast of dark magic. The blonde oracle gasped and held her staff defensively.

"Sensei, no!" she yelled.

Yugi heard her yell and glanced over at where the blonde was. He saw the Black Magician attacking.

"NO!!"

The small warrior s distraction left him open for attack and allowed Nessuro to slash deeply at his right shoulder. It bled profusely.

"AGHH!!"

Yugi dodged a second blow, ignoring the pain, and quickly ran over to the two oracles. He stood in front of Black Magician Girl and blocked the attack with a light-force shield. He held his bleeding shoulder as he let the shield dissipate.

"You okay, Oracle?"

"Yes, thank you, Yugi-sama. My sensei is the true Oracle; he trained me. He won't go down easily."

"Kill her." Nessuro commanded the Black Magician. "Leave the hero of light to me."

Yugi still had three coins left. He flipped on and it turned into a Black Pendant. "Here, take this." He gave the pendant to Black Magician Girl. "It should power you up enough to have a chance against him."

"Thank you." The Oracle s apprentice placed the pendant around her neck.

Yugi smiled. "My pleasure." With that, he returned to the battle with his alternate double. They kept a good ten feet distance from each other, each taking a battle stance.

"Well, Yugi, you seem to be low on supplies." Nessuro said, not sparing him a glance. He was staring at Yugi s blood that stained the tip of his black blade.

Yugi glared. "Perhaps, but all I need is my faith and heart. They are my true weapons, and they will not fail me here." He reached into his pocket, and felt two coins left. He knew he had to use them wisely, if he was to win.

Nessuro reached into his pocket and took out a silver coin. He flipped it and it disappeared in mid air.

"Yugi, I d like to show you a little old friend of yours."

As Nessuro laughed once again, a dark hole opened behind Black Magician Girl. Three loud roars echoed through the dark space as one. The ground shook slightly as footsteps approached, and a dragon stepped out. A Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Black Magician Girl turned around and gasped at the ferocious creature.

Yugi turned from Nessuro for a moment and saw it.

"No!!" he yelled.

While they were distracted, Nessuro took out another coin and flipped it. Yugi didn t notice. He dashed over to the dragon, using every once of fury and power within him. His katana glowed white-hot as he faces the dragon.

Dodging White Lightning blasts and bites, Yugi started to know how his monsters felt whenever he played Duel Monsters. But this was more like the Middle Ages, with the brave knight fighting the fiery dragon.

"Man, this monster is something else!"

Black Magician Girl could only watch; she was no match for the blue dragon.

Neither of them noticed the large shadow looming behind Nessuro. A pair of large eyes glowed in the dark above the evil one s head.

**********

In Yugi s universe&

"This is not good." said Yami, seeing Yugi was in trouble. "Nessuro is deliberately using Yugi s protective instincts against him."

"That means he s attacking Black Magician Girl to distract Yugi from battling him." said Shizuka as she cuddled closer to Yami.

"Actually, he s wearing Yugi out." said Bakura.

The image on the TV screen did a close-up on Nessuro.

"By the time you finish, you ll be too tired to fight me. Why not forget the Oracle s apprentice and get this over with?" he said.

The close-up turned to Yugi and the dragon. The savior of light growled and a gigantic blast of energy exploded from his body. It spread, destroying the Ultimate Blue Eyes like it was nothing, and reaching the Black Magician, weakening him. The Oracle was thrown back by the force.

"NEVER!!"

**********

In the AU&

The Ultimate Blue Eyes destruction didn t surprise Nessuro at all. It seemed he had expected this. His plan was working perfectly so far.

"I wonder how much more you can take."

Yugi stood in front of Black Magician Girl, panting in exhaustion from all the power he had used. His legs shook but he refused to fall. Even his katana felt heavier in his right hand, especially with the deep wound on his shoulder.

"Black Magician Girl, are you okay?" he rasped.

"Yugi-sama, please stop." the Oracle s apprentice pleaded. "You ll be too weak to fight him if you continue."

Yugi reached into his pocket and took out a silver coin, which turn gold at his touch.

"I have two coins left." he said. "But I ll have to use one now."

The small warrior flipped the coin and it turned into a small, blonde fairy. She squeaked happily and flew around Yugi's head, spraying him with water. As she did this, most of Yugi's wounds healed and some of his strength returned to him.

Yugi sighed in relief. "Thank you, Soul of the Pure."

Once the tiny fairy was done, she squeaked again and vanished.

"Oh, Yugi," Nessuro's sing-song voice was heard. "Would you like to meet my special servant?"

Nessuro raised his sword and the shadow behind him moved closer, revealing Exodia Necros. The monster passed his master and stomped over towards Yugi, the big grin on his face. The ground shook with each step and his dark green, black armor glowed with an evil dark green aura.

Yugi looked up at the giant, eyes widened. Black Magician Girl looked worried. Yugi groaned slightly.

"This...is bad." he said.

Black Magician Girl glanced at Exodia Necros, then at Yugi, then back at the monster. And idea suddenly came to her, and she frowned determinedly.

"I'll do it!"

Yugi glanced over his shoulder at the Oracle's apprentice. "Do what?"

Black Magician Girl gripped the Black Pendant around her neck, and ripped it off! Now gripping her staff tightly she charged straight at the Black Magician.

"BMG, no!!" Yugi called after her.

Black Magician Girl didn't listen and it looked like she was about to attack. Black Magician didn't bat an eye as he raised his staff and fired his Black Magic attack on her. Surprisingly, his apprentice immediately dropped her guard and let the blast hit her dead on. She let out a blood curdling scream of agony before exploding into particles. Yugi had seen it all, unable to do anything to help her. It all happened so fast...He shut his eyes tightly, tears spilling from them.

"Black Magician Girl..." he whispered.

Nessuro had also seen the apprentice's demise. He looked thoughtful for a few seconds, then chuckled.

"I have to admit she surprised me." he said. "Now I see what she's planning. I simply wonder if she'll achive her purpose before the pieces combine."

Yugi didn't hear him. He was trying to keep his anger in check. The warrior of light raised his eyes full of rage at Nessuro.

"I will not let her sacrifice be in vain!"

Exodia Necros and Black Magician slowly stalked towards Yugi, intent on finishing him off. Nessuro could clearly see Yugi's struggling. His anger was almost at its peak. Maybe one little push could set him off. And that exactly what the evil one wanted.

'Yes.' Nessuro thought to himself. 'Let your rage consume you. Let me see your true power.'

'Focus, Yugi.' Yugi thought. 'I can't let my anger blind me now. This is not a good time.'

Nessuro then got an idea. "What are you going to do, Yugi? I hold your friends' souls in my power. And there's one of them who would like to deliver...a message for you."

Yugi panted from the extreme emotions swelling up inside his mind. "What?"

The little warrior looked up as something materialized over Nessuro's head. It was a big glass triangle, and Marlene's soul was trapped inside. Seeing Yugi down bellow, she banged her fists against the glass.

"YUGI!" she yelled.

Yugi's eyes opened wide. "M-Marlene?!"

Nessuro smirked seeing his plan was working.

"Yes, the very jackpot." he said. "She's perfect for my collection."

Yugi's rage and anger were practically at breaking point. Not only his face but also his strained voice showed it.

"Let...her...go!!"

"Careful now, Yugi. I could just eat up this soul and she'll become nothing. I have an appetite for souls."

"You do, Nessuro...and I will show you no mercy!"

Yugi heard the banging against glass above and glanced up at Marlene, who was trying to catch his attention.

"Yugi, don't!" she said, her voice muffled by the glass. "He's not what he appears to be!"

The warrior of light heard her slightly; he looked surprised "What?!"

"One thing is true." said Nesurro. "For someone who's power doesn't even compare to mine, she's not as submissive as the others."

Yugi smirked. "That's my girlfriend for ya!"

Nessuro frowned at this. Yugi was regaining control once more. It could ruin everything. His eyes glowed white.

"Yugi, look deeper into the darkness!" said Marlene's soul. "He lost his-!" She was suddenly interrupted as the glass triangle disappeared, taking her with it.

The evil one's eyes stopped glowing and he smiled. "Another annoying mouth less." He waited to see what would happen next.

"NOOOO!!"

As Nessuro expected, to his satisfaction, Yugi's power exploded. His body became surrounded by the blinding light once again; Nessuro had to shield his eyes from it. Yugi's eyes glowed white with power and anger, his muscles grew slightly, now visible on his once petite body; and most of his blonde spikes flared up like when he used to change into Yami, but his eyes stayed the same shape. Amethyst eyes stopped glowing and they fixed a glare on Nessuro.
