Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Tristen moved over and said “I’ll take him Yami. Go help Serena with that gateway. I’ll watch over Yug” Yugi was out cold in his arms, looking pale as his breathing was hard.

Serena got up, holding the item in hand which looked like a key but more styled like the items of the past. But not the Key of the Mind. She looked at the portal and then she heard steps. She turned and Drake was standing there, panting hard and holding his shoulder. “No…I won’t let him take you…he can’t have you not this time…” Serena looked at Drake and said “Drake you don’t need to do this…I want to help…” he pulled out a wand and aimed it at her. “I’ll take your soul right now to keep you safe Serena. He can’t get you killed if your soul isn’t there!” He ran and grabbed her.

Duke yelled “Serena!” But as Drake tried to take her there was a howl and shadows shot out and blocked his attack. Then Serena’s eyes flashed and she moved and kicked him hard in the chest. Drake landed a few feet away and she stood tall. She said “don’t think your more then a man, you fool. I am the guardian of the throne. I am the Kings Shadow. And I will be his shield and sword when he asks it of me. And I am the keeper of his heart and I will always in any life after…”

Drake stared at her and said “Zahra…” she smiled and said “you bet I am.”

Suddenly Joeys pendent flashed and his Goddess appeared and wrapped her arms around him. “My dear seems you need a gods aid.” Setos and Dukes pendants flashed as well and the god of creation appeared and roared into the sky. The two gods moved forward and stood by Yami. “We are here. We will need more of us to close this portal.”

Drake got up, holding his chest and said “I will save you Serena…no matter what I have to do…” then he vanished in a red mist.

Serena spun her staff in hand and planted it in front of the portal. She looked at the key and said “Yami? This key looks like it belongs to your puzzle…” her eyes were still glowing, the power that flows thru Yami coming off of her.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Drake cursed as the pain hit him, his knight vanished. He said “I can’t trust that guy…he doesn’t even know who she is…and she will do everything to protect him! I won’t let it happen!” He pulled another card and said “I summon Bone Dragon!” The huge creature appeared and roared.

Serena nodded and pulled a card free. “Hound of the Guardian” he appeared and she jumped onto his back and said “get me close to the core while the guardian is being attacked” the hound woofed and started running.

Guardian of the King yelled and launched her attack, Mahad covering her as the other monsters attacked.

Yugi was breathing hard as he leaned on Joey, his vision blurring. “Mana…make sure…Serena is…safe…”

When the attacked landed Serena made it around the back and saw the item. She pulled her staff out and ran forward. She moved to grab the gem floating where the core had been and she said “just have to” then she touched it and the whole room flashed white. Serena’s and Yamis items flashed gold and suddenly they were all in a new space. It was the same alter room but during the night and in the past. The room was filled with men in dark hoods and chanting.

In the alter was young Atem. Chained down and fighting weakly against the bonds as a black mass was gathering above him. Red eyes laughing darkly above him. But suddenly an arrow flew in and landed into the stone above the god, flashing gold. Three young figures ran into the room. Two attacking those who tried to stop them, the light flashing to show a young Seto and Mahad, Mana by the doors waiting. The three was running towards the alter and called “my prince!” She swung a gold staff and shadows shot out, reaching and breaking the chains on the prince. The girl jumped onto the alter and said “I am the Princes Shadow! You shall not harm him while I am here!” She swung her staff again and sent the god back, the mass hitting the far wall. She picked Atem up and pulled him onto her back, the others clearing the path for them as the alter was filled with a red light. The red eyes roared “no! I must have the pure soul!”

The teens escaped as mana made a barrier to block the entrance. They raced for the horses close by and Atem opened his eyes weakly. “Zahra…Mahad…” Zhara smiled back at him and said “don’t worry my prince, we have you. Your safe…”

The scene changed to a day light scene and to the palace years later. It was the room of the kings.

They all could see a hooded figure walk into the space and lower her hood. Zahara stood before the alter and bowed her head in respect when she heard steps. “Lady Zahara” she turned to see Priest Seto behind her. “Master Seto. You called me here. I should be protecting our king”

Seto nodded and walked to her and said “I must ask you something. These rumors of the cult from before…the dark god…have you looked into it?” Zahra smiled and said “of course I have. I am the kings shadow. They are the same as the ones who took the king as a young boy. The same ones you, Mahad and I saved him from all those years ago. And I don’t plan letting them take him now. I will die to keep him safe”

Seto sighed and said “is it out of duty? Or your feelings for him?” Zahara paused then smiled a knowing smile and said “does it matter my reason? Both are the right path to lead me here. Besides…” the shadow behind Zahara shifted and took the form of a huge wolf with gold eyes. “I am the Keeper of Shadows and the host of the God of Shadows. And his will is mine. But yes…to your question you won’t say. I love our king with all my heart. The rest matters little to me” she turned to leave and pulled her hood up.

“The god of lost realm will never touch the king. In this life…or any other. I will be there in any life our king takes. No matter the challenges…” she walked outside, the shadows wrapping around her like a cloak. Her staff in hand now as she walked into the sunlight.

The light faded and soon they were back in the street, the portal in front of them now the guardian was gone.

Yugi suddenly collapsed and was aiming for the ground. Serena was close to the portal, holding a strange item in her hand as she panted from the whole thing. But the job wasn’t finished yet.

The Rise of the Guardian

Shinlo looked at Ash who nodded. “It’s okay…you can rest now…your safe” he sighed then smiled weakly at them before he fell forward, out of range of Ash as she missed catching him before he fell off the bed.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Drake yelled “Black Knight! Move! Then go for the Blue Eyes!” The knight nodded and jumped out of Lusters way and aimed a slash at Seto directly. Drake said “I won’t let her die for him again…I won’t!”

Yugi saw this and said “Kaiba!” He pulled a card out and yelled “Big Shield Guardian! Block that attack!” The warrior appeared and jumped in front of the attack. The Black Knight sliced the warrior in half and it vanished. But now Blue Eyes was perfect to hit the knight down with her claws.

Yugi gasped and held his chest, the monster being destroyed hit him hard. He fell to his knees, breathing hard. “Joey…gather…the monsters…we have to…attack at once…”

Serena nodded and the shadows pulled back and saw Yugi go down. “Yugi. We have to end this. Guardian!” Her card appeared and she said “we strike now. Mahad? Will you cover her attack?” She moved her staff and said “I’ll attack right behind the pair. I’ll finish this nightmare”

The Rise of the Guardian

Shinlo shook his head and said “we can’t…wait that long…we must push forward…” he flinched and Ash said “the wagon. You can rest in there Shinlo. You need the rest. When was the last time you slept?” He looked at her and said “not really sure…hurt too much to lay down…”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Drake sighed and said “you don’t get it. If I let all of this unfold then Serena dies at the Gods hands, just like her past self did with Zorc! I am not letting that happen! Black Knight! Holy slash!” The knight pushed the other monster back and swung his blade, the slash taking out half the room.

Serena looked at Yami and said “we have to take it down…together…” she slowly got up with Yamis help, pulling her staff from her back and smiling at him. “I will always be there to protect you my king. No matter what”

Yugi leaned on Joey and said “Dark…Magician Girl…give him a hand…” he was breathing hard, his hands shaking as he pointed towards the last of the guard monsters.

The Rise of the Guardian

Isis was curled up in Ash’s jacket and looked very happy coiled there.

Ash moved to help turn him as Shinlo started to come around and said “what…happened…”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

The Black Knight blocked the attack and Drake said “how can you help him? Why do you want history to repeat itself!”

Serena looked at him and her sight changed. Atem the king knelt by her and said “darling are you alright? Where are you hurt? I should have been watching…I hate seeing you hurt because of me…”

Serena blinked and said “what? Sorry what were you…” shadows wrapped around them and Yami and Serena heard the same voice say “remember who you are to each other…the heart and soul together…”

Yuki was breathing hard, leading like a general but his own energy was fading. He watched his monster, not mana, get blasted across the alter room and he held his chest. “We have to…end this…”

The Rise of the Guardian

Ash nodded as she sat back, sighing and worn but smiling. "HIs going to be okay...his been alone so long...I have to figure out why..?" Shinlo groaned, starting to come around.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

The Knight took the blast but it didn't blast him as Drake said "Magic against my knight are useless. He is a knight of the holy right. I'm more then ready for you Kaiba"

Serena grunted as he touched her and opened her eyes weakly. "Yami...what...hit me..." She tried to sit up, her pendent glowing brightly.

Yugi was leading the battle against the guard monsters with Duke behind Red Eyes with Tristen. He said "I wish we could do more.."
