Yugi Muto x Reader

Chapter 8 (Part 2)

I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
But oh, God, I feel I've been lied to
Lost all faith in the things I have achieved
And I

I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
(away from this place I have made)
Won't you take me away from me

-Away From Me by Evanescence

You walked through the forest, thinking of the kind people you had left behind back in the depths of Domino City. I'm sorry everyone. I'm sorry for hurting you all like this but this is the only way that this will assure that you won't be getting hurt. You found yourself in the depths of an unknown surrounding. Voices could be heard from within this place. This is kind of creepy. What is this place anyway? How does this connect with Uncle and Mr. Muto? You stop when you hear a fiendish female voice say, "Excellent work, my dolls! Now these two humans will be the ones that will start this new chain of sacrifices! We'll be the rulers of this world before the sun will ever see its last ray of light." So I'm guessing that's the enemy's leader. You hid yourself behind a wall so they wouldn't be able to find out where you were.

"What do you mean she disappeared?!?" Joey sounded like he had just lost something major but it was just his reaction to what Yugi had just told him. Duke said, "I don't understand why Y/N would just disappear all of a sudden. This isn't like her at all." Téa added, "I'm worried about your grandpa, Yugi. What if Y/N was taken to the same place as where he is?" Yugi replied, "Then we'll have to go find her and everyone else that was captured."

You were still hidden behind the wall as you felt the urgency to tell someone what the enemy was devising for the fate of the human world. You perceived the feeling that there had to be a connection to everything that had happened so far. The disappearances, the black clouds and those mysterious beings that appeared abruptly from time to time. How were these all connected though? Was there still a piece of the puzzle that was still missing? You wondered as you felt the chill of the new environment creep you out slightly. Your heart was beating with the sense of uneasiness of the entire situation at hand. You had to admit that the leader was stunning in a malevolent way, eyes filled with the determination of a thousand devils.

Once you heard their voices disappear, you snuck out of the cave, silent as you escaped the environment that made you feel uneasy. The sun had hidden itself in the cushioning of the clouds that would keep it from revealing its rays of light. Please, everyone. Don't come and find out where I am, you'll get hurt if you do. You'll face the dire consequences of their power, I'm only investigating why and what they are plotting to do to Domino City, or the human world that is. Yugi, I don't want you to get hurt because of me. You've all been so kind and helpful, now it's my turn to help you. You look around and knew that you weren't alone. You were afraid that it might be the enemy, and you felt a sudden chill up your spine. You turn around and sigh in relief when you saw that it was just the wind ferociously blowing.

Yugi became extremely frustrated at how he wasn't getting anywhere with where you could've gone to and why. The door bursts open to reveal Duke and Joey, who were panting heavily. Yugi was about to question them when Duke said, "We'll explain later, Yugi. Come on, we might have a lead on where Y/N might be right now." Yugi followed after the two male duellists and wondered if they were right about their gut feelings.

You found yourself in the middle of the forest, the murky violet scenery painting the picture of confusion in your eyes of doubt. You then hear the female voice from before, "I see that we have an unwanted trespasser on our land." You growl, "What do you want with our world? Haven't you done enough damage already?" The female devil snickers, "Oh have we? The real damage hasn't been done yet, mortal. Your soul is just what we need to complete our path to becoming the eternal rulers of this land." You remark, "I'm not letting you take my soul, or anyone else's soul for that matter.'' She dramatically sighed, "Oh what a shame, I thought you were going to be a compliant little mortal and do as I say." You glare at her and reply, "Not going to happen!" The fiend proposes, "Why don't we duel for the right to say who can keep or rule this world?" You said, ''Alright then!" You both said, "Let's duel!" The female fiend began, "I, Safiya, shall begin this duel! I begin by summoning Terra the Terrible in Attack mode and then I place one card face down on the field to end my turn." That's one powerful monster, I'd better be careful. You said, "It's my move! I summon Sun Crystal Phoenix in Attack mode, next I'm going to activate its ability which lets me draw two new cards!" Sun Crystal Phoenix 1700/1900 (Level 5). You continue, "Now I place two cards face down and end my turn." I hope this works, or else I'm going to be turned into food for the phoenix fiends! You were hoping that your next move would help you at least be one step ahead of the fiendish goddess, who smirked at you with determined eyes. Safiya spoke up, "I activate my spell, Mystical Space Typhoon!" Damn. Your first face down, which was revealed to be Sun Crystal Enchantment, was destroyed. Oh well...I didn't need that card anyway. The goddess adds, "Now I summon, Archfiend Heiress in attack mode! That is all I am doing." Overly sophisticated in a creepy way. When that card is destroyed she can add an Archfiend card from her deck to her hand. You spoke up, "I activate my Phoenix's other ability! You see, since it's on the field, I can summon a Level 4 or below monster from my hand. So say hello to Sun Crystal Witch! Sun Crystal Witch 1200/600 (Level 3)." You continued, "Now I equip her with Crystal Sceptre, which raises her ATK and DEF by 700." 1200/600 >>> 1900/1300. The female duellist remarks, "That is nothing compared to my monsters! I can defeat you without even blinking!" Overly competitive? Yes. Possesses common sense? Nope! You reply, "Well my witch is going to attack your Terra the Terrible!" Safiya's LP drops to 3300. She growls, "Why you!!!" You remark, "Well I'm not done yet! Now I can reveal my other face down card, Poison of the Old Man! I'm using it to inflict 800 points of direct damage towards you!" 3300>>>2500. The female fiend growls once more. You conclude, "I end my turn by placing two cards face down." Safiya answers impatiently, "Finally! I was wondering when you'd stop rambling. I'm going to end this duel quickly so that I can go on with ruling the world!" She went on, "I summon Summoned Skull and Ushi Oni, both in attack mode! Now Summoned Skull, destroy her Phoenix!" Your LP drops to 3100. She continues, "Now Archfiend Heiress and Ushi Oni will attack you now!" Your LP dramatically decreased to 0, making you faint. I'm sorry Yugi, everyone. I've let you down.

Yugi stops, "Did you hear that?" The others stop to listen and Duke said, "I don't hear anything." Yugi asks, "Isn't that suspicious though?" Téa screams and before Yugi could ask, Joey exclaims, "Y-Y/N!!" Yugi's eyes follow to where Joey was standing and he became horrified. They hear a cackle, "Your friend thought that she could defeat me so easily, but she was wrong and paid the price." Yugi replied, "You only want to see people suffer in misery! You don't care if they are scarred for life, you only care if they'll do your dirty work for you!" Safiya scoffs, "How are you going to defeat me? With that pathetic deck of yours?" Yugi goes over and retrieves your deck, shuffling it with his own. Yugi said, "I'm combining the powers of both mine and Y/N's decks together! I know that with her deck and mine together, that we can defeat you, once and for all!" Joey piped in, "Yeah, Yugi'll beat your sorry butt!"

Yugi thought to himself, "Y/N, please be okay. I'm doing this for all of us. I know that Grandpa and Pegasus would want me to help you out as much as you have for us. Thank you." Yugi remarks, "Alright this is for Y/N and everyone else you hurt!" They both said, "Duel!" I wonder what kind of cards this deck has. Safiya spoke, "I will begin, fool! First I summon Archfiend Heiress in attack mode and then place one card face down." What is she up to? Yugi replies, "It's my turn!" He drew his cards and tilted his head. These are Y/N's cards. Some of mine are here too but there are mostly some of hers here. He continues, "I summon Sun Crystal Sorceress in attack mode, next I'm using her special ability to summon another Spellcaster without any sacrifices, so I'm summoning Dark Magician in defense mode! Next I'm placing two cards face down." I hope those spells will help us. The female fiend remarks, "Oh really now? That's your best? You're just as paltry as your friend!" Yugi became defensive, "Y/N is not paltry! She is an amazing duellist and an amazing person! I'm not giving up on her or her deck! She worked hard to make this deck the way it is, it deserves to have its spotlight." His friends' eyes enlarge at Yugi's remark. Safiya went on, "Alright mortal, if that is how it will be, then I will not be lenient. I banish Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder and Raviel, Lord of Phantasms so I can summon my most powerful monster! Come forth, Armityle the Chaos Phantom!" She adds, "He gains 10 000 ATK points during my turn!" Yugi's eyes widen, "If I don't find something powerful enough to beat that thing, then I can kiss this deck goodbye. Wait! I can't let Y/N down, I promised her that I would defeat them!" Safiya concludes, "That is all for now, human." Yugi whispers to himself, "Okay Y/N, I hope your deck has something that can help us now." He drew a card and murmurs, "Y/N please help me." He saw the card in his hand, and becomes confused. Sun Crystal Dragon? Wait! 5000 ATK points?!? I have an idea. Yugi began, "I summon Sun Crystal Dragon in attack mode, next I'm switching Dark Magician to attack mode and I'm fusing them both together! I summon, Sun Crystal Dragon Warrior!" Safiya mocks Yugi, "With an attack power of 5500, your monster has no chance against my own!" Yugi responds, "That's why I'm using this trap! It's called Crystal Light Force, and it's used to double the ATK of any monster on the field! Sun Crystal Dragon Warrior is getting a power up!" Sun Crystal Dragon Warrior 5000/5000 (Level 12). It's ATK increases to 11000. Safiya's eyes bug out of her head, "What?!?" Yugi continues, "Now I'm using my own trap, Dark Spiral Force! I can use it to double the ATK of a monster that's currently present on the field!" 11 000 >>>> 22 000. She gasps, "22 000 ATK points?!?" Yugi said, "That's right! Now Dragon Warrior, end this duel! Cosmogonic Slash!" The female fiend's LP startlingly drops to zero faster than anyone could follow. The evil spirit howls, "This isn't the end, mortal! We will rise again!" She fades away, leaving a trail of black pigment as she faded.

Yugi quickly ran over to you and whispers, "Y/N please be okay." "Yugi!" He turns around and sees his grandpa waving. He burst into tears and hugs his grandpa. Pegasus was following behind him, "That was a good fight, Yugi-boy." The three men looked over at your torpid body and Yugi became silent. Please Y/N, please don't leave now.
