SOOO...…
Many things happened obviously, Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, Orichalcos, the Grand Championship, Yugi's dive into the past pharaoh's memories, and now I'm finally here in the catacombs of the pharaoh waiting for all the duelists to gather for Atems final duel against Yugi Moto. (Ironically, I don't think this is a run on sentence yet lol).
I am not here to do anything but to watch. I'm sure I can defeat Yami (Atem), but I don't want to divert the storyline either. I'm not here to screw up the original storyline if I can help it. I came to this world to have fun in the NEXT storyline. I want to be Jaden's buddy and date Alexis Rhodes.
It's been a full day since I teleported into the catacombs waiting for Yami. I know that they are expected to show up soon so I set up a tent and a smokeless fire by the stage up front. I even made popcorn.
From a distance, I heard shifting stones echoing from the hall behind me as voices start echoing down the hall.
"Huh, that's it, the resting place of the seven millennium items."
I turn around to see Yugi and the crew just entering the tomb. I was a little off to the side so no one seemed to have seen me yet. Ishizu walks up towards the pedestal and turns towards the group to suddenly notice me.
"WHO IS THERE?!"
Suddenly everyone turns towards my direction to notice me with a popcorn halfway towards my mouth.
"Just a bystander, you can ignore me." I say with a pleasant smile.
"How did you get in here?!" said Ishizu
Ishizu was wearing traditional Egyptian desert garb with a circlet on her brow and long straight black hair.
"Uhhhh, the stairs like everybody else?" I know it sounded like a question but I was mostly stuck as to how to explain this situation. I obviously didn't think this through but who cares.
"Never mind me, I'm not here to interrupt this procession. I'm merely here to spectate like everyone else." I said with an innocent smile on my face.
"It's okay Ishizu" And here comes Yami.
"You know Yami, I'm never gonna get used to that. Either choose to undergo puberty or don't. I swear its gonna give someone whiplash one of these days." I say with a raised eyebrow.
I heard someone snicker in the background. Don't know who it is but hey, I'll take what I can get.
"It is fine Ishizu, I consider Shiro to be a good friend of mine. But that begs the question, how did you get here?" Yami asked
"Well, that is simple enough to answer." It took me a second to sort all the events through my mind to create a cohesive story.
"I just knew, and I'm NOT gonna answer any questions unless I feel like it."
…. yeah, the whole taking a second to come up with a story? Complete lie. I'm just too lazy.
"Hey you brat, you better stop acting all cocky" Joey started walking towards me in a threatening manner.
At this point, my deck strapped to my belt shined brightly as spirit materialized.
"JOEY NO!" yelled Yami
*shing*
A sharp spear point was placed on Joeys neck.
"WHOA!!!!" Joey yelled as he fell on his back.
"KIMAHRI, its fine, pull back."
Kimahri was humanoid Purple Panther with a broken horn on his forehead. Despite the horn, He had a domineering appearance and was not one to be trifled with. Kimahri gave Joey one more look of contempt as is glowed once more disappearing into the deck.
I smiled apologetically at the crowd.
"Sorry about that. Kimahri has no patience when it comes to those who are being rude to me."
"Its fine, Joey, are you okay?" Yami asked looking at Joey.
"Uh, yeah Yoog, what was that? Did his monsters become alive?"
Yami looks at me apologetically as he answers.
"Joey, in the past, there used to be special beings that were capable of calling upon the spirits of ancient monsters called Spirit Callers. I suspect Shiro here is one such case." Yugi explained.
"WHOA, hey Shiro, you can actually summon dual monsters?" at this point Mokuba seemed to have popped out of nowhere.
"Oh!! Hey Mokuba, how've you been?" I asked Mokuba.
"I'm doing great, I tagged along with my brother" I turn to see Kaiba.
Kaiba seems to be softer than he was previously.
"How have you been Mr. Kaiba?" I asked
"I'm doing fine but I wish we could get this farce over with. The quicker Yugi losses this duel, the quicker I can get a turn myself." Kaiba says with a huff.
"Oh yeah. That's right." I said as I walk up the pedestal where Ishizu was.
"Do you mind if I explain the rest from here?" I politely ask Ishizu.
Ishizu seems to contemplate but decides to walk back down the steps so I can start.
"Alright Pharaoh, to start the ritual, you need to place all the millennium items back into the stone from where it first originated. After that, the Eye of Ujah will peer into your soul and separate you and host so that your duel may begin. Simple and clean as that. The moment you lose, you can go to the afterlife or wherever you came from. Capische?" I say with my arms folded and an angelic smile.
Ishizu and Marik looked shocked as I explained. Mostly because they have no clue as to how I know so much at 5 years of age.
After this, everything went as proceeded in the original minus the fact that I was sitting in my camping chair with Mokuba next to me while eating popcorn together.
Not gonna lie, Using Magnet force with the Magnet warriors and chaining them off twice in a single turn was an awesome sight to behold. The Egyptian Gods were handled beautifully.
Although there were a couple highlights, most of the time, the game was filled with tit for tat. I activate this, in response I activate that, oh no when did that get there. There was literally a lot of that went on from beginning to end. It was honestly very engaging to watch.
"Alright! Silent Magician! Attack his life points directly!!"
After that the game was over.
There was the whole drama after where everyone had a teary ending.
After that the Eye of Ujah started its lightshow as it opened up with the pharaohs name.
The three other friends run towards Atem or Yami saying sweet nothings in his ear.
"It doesn't seem fair, it seems we were all just getting to know each other" Tea started saying but I can't handle anymore.
*Snap*
I snap my fingers and make it resonate loudly with my own brands of magic as silence ensues.
"She is right you know." At this I toss a pendant to Yami. The pendant was circular and made of Uru metal which was nonexistent in this universe and it had a special language written on it with three characters (Orz).
"Whats this?" Yami says.
"This pendant is a kind of anchor. As long as a person holds the other half of that pendant, you can communicate with them at any time. Even in the afterlife." I say with a smile.
"How do you have possession of such an item?"
I smile at the group as I let out a proclamation, I know will stun everyone here.
"I'm a god"
*Snap*
I made Atem and me teleport through the open door and as it closed behind us.
As soon as the doors closed, I pull out my own pendant to reach out to my parents.
"Hey mom and dad? Can you hear me?"
"Usashiro?!! Where are you? We have been worried sick!!" I can hear my mother on the other line as if she was in tears.
"Shiro!!, I have had my men looking for you since yesterday!!! How is it we can hear you!!!" Said my dad frantically.
"Calm down mom and dad. I have something I need to share with you guys. But I will share it later tonight. I just want you to know that I might be missing for a couple days but I promise to return soon, okay?" I say trying to calm my frantic parents down.
"Shiro, are you alright?" I hear Pegasus in a barely restrained voice. He almost sounded as if he was going to cry.
"I'm fine, I'm with the pharaoh right now and I want to tag along in the afterlife for a week or so and before you freak out, I need you to know that I secured a method back home. The pendants your wearing are my anchor points so please keep them safe. The pendants can also be used to speak with me whenever you might need too. I promise I will explain everything tonight. I got to go. Atem looks as if he has a lot of questions for me."
"NO, YOU COME BACK HOME THIS INSTANT!!!" Oh boy, moms getting frantic.
"Aww, but mom, Can't I stay a little longer?" I started whining. I mean yeah, I'm five, I understand the insanity of this and your baby child had been missing for a full day but come on. My intellect has GOT to count for something. T T
"NO, YOU MAY NOT YOUNG MAN, COME HOME THIS INSTANT OR YOUR GROUNDED FOR A MONTH!!"
"Cecilia honey, arent you a little harsh on our little bunny?" Dad tried to interject.
"DON'T YOU HONEY ME, HE IS ONLY 5 FOR CHRIST SAKE!!! YOU GET HOME RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!"
*sigh* There goes my planned week vacation in the afterlife. Well, what mom said was true, even IF I'm a genius, in this world I am still 5. T T
"FINE, let me sort a little of this out and I'll be home soon." I said with a heavy sigh.
"I SAID RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!"
"Oh, come on, now your being unreasonable. Even with the anchor point it will take a couple hours to teleport there, okay? I'll be home before dinner. I am safe and I will get home asap. I promise."
"FINE, BUT WHEN YOU GET HOME, WE ARE HAVING A LONG CONVERSATION ABOUT ALL OF THIS!!!"
*ugh* "yes mom" I said as I hung up.
I turned around to see Atem in the afterlife staring at me wide eyed and sweat drops.
