Ties Of Fate

Yami: Once again XxMangekyoSharinganAngelxX doesn’t own either Yu-Gi-Oh or Aquarian Age but she does own her OC’s, so don’t take them without her permission (turns to Kunoichi) what would you do if you did own Yu-Gi-Oh?

Me: (smirks) First Tea would die a painful, bloody death. You would have never gone to the afterlife. You and Yugi would already be together. Bakura and Ryou would be together and the same goes for Marik and Malik. (Goes off in a rant)

Yami: This could take a while folks. On to the second chapter!

Flashbacks

Ch.2 Yami’s First Fight

Yami looked at Sarashina and struggled to pull himself. He gripped the side of the alley wall; careful not to bump his wings. Panting heavily he managed to stand while leaning against the wall. “I’ll ask you again. Who are you and why do I have wings growing out my back” Yami asked.

Sarashina simply smiled at him “I’m called Sarashina and I am here to guide you in this war.

Yami looked at her puzzled “War?”

Sarashina continued on “Yes, since the beginning of time. Unknown to the rest of humankind there have been five supernatural fractions of power battling for world supremacy. There are the Arayashiki; a group that uses Eastern style magic like talismans. Darklore which are the descendants of ancient animal species. E.G.O. which stands for evolutionary gender organization. They claim to be the next step in human evolution and use mental powers. WIZ-DOM, a group that uses Western magic like the tarot cards. Finally there are the Erasers, which is the group that I’m a part of and now you’re a part of it as well.”

“Erasers? What kind of name is that?” Yami asked. He flinched in pain when his wings accidentally the wall.

“We were not the ones who choose that name. It was given to us by the other four factions because of our terrifying power to ‘erase’ our enemies” Sarashina chuckled. Then she walked over to Yami, with a frown softly spoke “Awakenings can be quite painful and cruel. Turn around” She instructed Yami. Yami raised his eyebrow. “Just do it. I’m not going to hurt you. I promise” Yami nodded his head and turned his body so that his back was facing Sarashina.

Sarashina gathered some energy in the palm of her hands and placed that energy on Yami’s back. Yami let a out small gasp when he felt a warm, tingling sensation. His whole body glowed in a bright white light. (Is this an Eraser’s power) he thought. Soon the light died down and the pain was gone. “What did you do?” Yami looked at her; amazed that his body wasn’t hurting anymore.

“This is the power I have. With this power I can either use it to heal which is what I did now or I can use it to kill” Sarashina turned around and gathered her energy once again and shot it towards an abandoned building. At first nothing happened but soon the building came tumbling down.

Yami looked at the building shocked and slightly amazed. “Umm, can I do that too?” he asked her.

Sarashina shook her head, “No, each Eraser’s power differs but we all have the ability to stop time.”

“So what is my power? How do I use it?”

“Simply put your palms out and focus your energy.”

Yami closed his eyes and put his palms out. Doing what Sarashina told him to do, he focused his energy. A few minutes later he opened his eyes to see small flames in the palm of his hands.

“Hmm, it looks like fire is your power” Sarashina replied. “To extinguish them just close your hands”

Yami closed his hands and when he opened them again. The flames were gone. Yami was slightly amazed and a little terrified of his new power.

“I must go now but if you ever need me. Just close your eyes and call me with your mind. I’ll be by your side in an instant. Until then, take care” Sarashina started to leave when Yami yelled “Hey! How do I get my wings to disappear? I can’t go home like this.”

“Use your mind and will them to disappear and do the same if you want them to appear again but it won’t hurt as much” With that said, Sarashina left in a bright light.

Yami forgetting the time looked down at his watch. “Shit, it’s almost 2” he groaned, “my folks are going to kill me. Yami started to leave when he remembered his wings. (What did she say to do? Oh yeah.) Yami closed his eyes.

However something or someone broke his concentration. “Hey you! Yeah I’m talking to you. You Eraser bastard!” Yami opened his eyes to see at the end of the alleyway a boy around his age in a strange suit which looked like it was made of metal. It covered his whole body and a helmet was connected to the rest of the suit. The suit was blue in color. The boy had green hair and brown eyes. “I’ve been waiting for that other Eraser to leave. I wouldn’t stand a chance against an experienced Eraser like her. But you’re just a newbie; I can take you out, no problem” The other smirked.

“An E.G.O?” Yami blinked. (How did I know that?) Yami felt a cold sensation hit his body. It knocked him to the side of the dumpster. Yami hit the side with a thud and fell forward. Slowly Yami sat up to see the E.G.O. with what looked like ice in his hands. The E.G.O shot the ice ball towards Yami.

Yami dove to the side in time. The ice hit the dumpster and froze it in an instant. Yami stood up and looked over to the dumpster. (That could’ve been me if I hadn’t dodge it in time) Yami shuddered. He looked again (Ice?)

“Hey! Don’t you know it’s rude to ignore your opponent?” Mizugi shouted. Mizugi was starting to get annoyed. Mizugi gathered his energy and threw ice crystals towards Yami.

Yami prepared for it. Spreading his wings; Yami kicked off the ground with his left leg and flew in the air. The ice crystals hit the ground and froze it. (At least up here, I have a slight advantage) Yami looked down at the ground to see that that the E.G.O disappeared. “Where’d he go?” Yami looked around. Out of the corner of his eye; he saw an ice beam coming towards him. Yami dodged it but it hit the tips of his wings freezing them. (Shit) This night was just fantastic. First Yami got into a fight with his dad. Then on his way home he grows wings. Meets some lady who starts talking about some kind of war. Now he’s being attacked. Yup, this night just kept getting better and better.

Yami thought about his opponent. (Ok he’s an E.G.O, what else? He uses ice attacks. Ice?) Suddenly an idea popped in his brain. (Of course, fire melts ice) Yami started to gather energy in the palm of his hands. Across from him, Mizugi was doing the same. Both concentrating their energy. Mizugi shot his eyes open and hurled an ice beam at Yami. At the same time Yami put his hands together forming a ball of fire which he hurled at Mizugi. Both attacks hit each other and exploded on contact.

Down below, Marik was walking home when he heard the explosion. “What the hell was that!?” Marik yelled. Marik looked around to see if anyone else heard the explosion but no one looked up or paid attention. (Strange, how come I’m the only one who heard it?) Marik shook his head (Ok, then that’s the last time I mix Pixie Stix with coffee. It’s making me hear things) Marik continued on his way when he stopped dead in his tracks. He looked up at the two figures. One had white wings and black leather pants. The other dressed in something that looked it came from Star Trek. (There’s something familiar about the one with wings) Marik squinted his eyes and looked again. (That’s Yami!) He looked again to the other slam into Yami’s body. (I have to help him but how?) Marik thought desperately.

“You wish to help your friend. How every noble of you” A mysterious voice commented. Marik looked in the direction of where the voice was coming from. “Who’s there? Come out and show yourself” Marik demanded.

The figure giggled, “Ok” And stepped out towards Marik. She had long brown hair and honey colored eyes. She was wearing tan pants with a pink tank top. “I’m Shizuka” She introduced herself. “And you are?” Shizuka inquired.

“Marik Ishtal” Marik replied, “Now what’s a girl like you doing so here in the middle of the night especially in the bad side of town. Shouldn’t you be home in bed?” Marik asked her.

Shizuka giggled “I’m fine; no one has attacked me it. (They wouldn’t dare to) she thought to herself. Shizuka spoke with serious tone in her voice. “The reason I’m out here is because I felt a powerful force. I’m guessing it was when your friend awoke. So I came to investigate.”

Marik looked at her skeptically “Awoke? What the hell does that mean?”

“It’s when you receive your powers to which faction you’re going to be a part of” Shizuka explained. “Sometimes you can awake on your own but sometimes a Mindbreaker can awaken you. I’m a Mindbreaker and I can unlock the power sleeping inside you. Marik, you may not believe me but your friend is an Eraser and you harbor the power of an Arayashiki”

Marik looked at her in disbelief. He was unsure on whether to believe her or not. To be honest Marik thought the whole thing was some kind of joke. He looked up to see Yami struggling to stay up in the air. Yami was losing and needed help. “And you say; you can unlock my powers?” He asked Shizuka. Shizuka nodded her head. “Then do it”

Me: (Squeal) Yay! Marik is going to began his awakening. Does it Shizuka make a great Mindbreaker? (Glomps Marik)

Marik: Hey get off me!

(Yami walks into the room): What’s going on here?

Me: (looks up and gets off Yami) Yami! (Glomps Yami)

Yami: (Sweatdrops) Um, kunoichi?

Me: Yeah?

Yami: Get off me!

Me: (Pouts) Fine (gets off Yami)

Marik: (in the kitchen) Hey! Who ate all my Pixie Stixs?

Me: (pulls out empty Pixie Stixs) Here (shoves them in to Yami’s hands) Have fun (runs out of the room)

Yami: (Blinks) Get back here!

Me: (hiding somewhere and whispers) how was the chapter, you guys? Will Marik make it in time to help Yami? Or will Yami be left in the cold? (Shouts) Don’t forget to review! (Points to review button)

Yami: (Opens cupboard door) There you are!

Me: Shit, got to go (runs for her life)
