Yu-Gi-Oh! Kiwami #6: The Woman with the Eyepatch

Kuuga City.

It's been a while since you've seen this great narrator, but roughly a week has passed ever since the duel between the leader of Bethel and the leader of Tsukuyomi.

Ever since escaping the more populated areas of the city in order to dodge being followed by Bethel's forces, the head trio of Tuskuyomi, Shinohara Raiden, Hijiri Nagi, and Nakiri Mitsue, have been driving through the forests surrounding the city. With Susanoo not offering them a place to stay, and them have already used up Neiru's kindness, there was no place left for them to go.

It was around two in the morning, and Nakiri found a nice parking lot where to stop the car. Tonight, they'd crash there, but in the morning, they'd leave for a cabin Nakiri's uncle had built and wasn't using anymore.

However, this isn't about them yet.

While Bethel kept their prisioners in the prison cells of the tower serving as its headquarters, the belongings of said prisioners were left in a warehouse in the heart of Kuuga's industrial area, which posed as just another meaningless warehouse.

And behind said warehouse, two members of the Susanoo faction of the Doujima family stood.

On one hand, you had Hajime Yua, the pretty lady with white hair and an eyepatch, and next to her, you had Taek-jin Park, her right hand, and a guy who really didn't want to be there.

"Yua, this is... This is fucking stupid, man... It's two in the morning! Let's go home, get some sleep and then order some nameless low ranks to come get Sugimura's shit back! Why the fuck are we doing it?! And why at this ungodly hour?!" Park barked.

"You're an ungodly hour." Yua replied with a caring smile, but then looked at her underling. "I'm doing it because. And personally, I don't like the idea of Bethel obtaining one of the Over Numbers. Without a Number, that Honami brat was already the annoying shit he was, I don't want him getting worse."

"Fuck sake, this blows... What even is the plan here?! We're just two people, this is a warehouse probably filled with more guys from Bethel then we can count on our fingers and toes! Think, Yua, think!"

"I am, and I'm thinking of how much of a bratty little boy you're being right now. I'm aware of what we're up against, but I have a plan. Just trust in mommy."

"You-" Park stared at Yua with a confused look. He was trying to get his words together. "Listen up, old hag! You're not my mom, no matter what the papers say! You're just my boss, nothing-!"

"Is that any way to talk to your mother after you tried to betray her and the kindness she gave you?"

Park was interrupted by a voice coming from the warehouse's backdoor. It belonged to a man a few years older than him, but much younger than Yua, with dark brown hair. Truly, the definition of an everyday Joe.

"Wha- Who the fuck are you?! Who the fuck is that?! Goddammit Yua, they're onto us now!" Park exclaimed.

"Don't think much of it, Park. He's the plan." Yua smiled.

"He's the fucking what?"

"Hola, miss, sir. Isn't it a bit too late to be in property that doesn't belong to you?" The man asked, leaning on the backdoor with his arms crossed.

"Miss me with that french shit!" Park shouted. "C'mon Yua! Let's scram before he calls his dog friends here!"

"Relax, will you? Like I said, this is the guy who'll take us to Sugimura's stuff and back out without alerting the other guards." Yua explained, patting Park on the back.

"I don't remember saying that in these sixty seconds we've known each other, miss. Care to shine some light on the matter?" The guard asked.

"Your name is Santiago Hector Armstrong, am I right? You're the duelist who came from over the sea and who spent many years doing oddjobs for the Wings over at Alba City. You ran your own Wings, but never owned any territory. You just made a living out of selling muscle to whatever Wing paid the biggest bid. Dimes 4 Crimes, the Wing of the fabled Jetstream Hector, correct?"

"Pfff, no way that shit name is real." Park snickered.

"My, my. I like it when a beautiful woman has some beautiful knowledge about me." Hector smirked, rubbing his chin.

"Holy fuck, he didn't deny it... This dude really went around being Jetstream Hector of Dimes 4 Crimes!" The white haired boy laughed.

"Don't laugh at people you don't know. I didn't raise you like that." Yua said, elbowing Park on the side.

"Hey! You barelly raised me! I was already seven by the time I came out of that box!"

"Who am I to put myself between the bond of mother and son? But I never knew Hajime Yua from Susanoo ever had a son." Hector chuckled.

"Fuck off! This old hag is not my mother!"

"He's adopted. Now be nice, Park. Or I'm not taking you to WcWonalds after we're done here."

"I- Bitch, are you even listening to what I'm saying?!"

"Back in my country, I'd take a slipper across the ass for even thinking of saying that to my mother."

"You can go eat shit too! Hey, wait a sec. Yua, if this assface is from Alba, then the fuck is he doing on Kuuga?!" Park asked.

"From what I can guess, I'd say Bethel found about his personnal life and leaked it to the public. No matter how things go in Alba, I can guess some people wouldn't want to have a pyromaniac work for them, or work for one. And don't call him that, Park. Be nice." Yua said, pulling Park's cheek.

"You- I'M SENDING YOU TO A DAMN DIRTY DIRT CHEAP RETIREMENT HOME AND NEVER VISITING YOU!"

"That's fine. Sugimura will probably join me there, so it'll be okay."

"I- ...what does that mean?"

"Don't think too much about it."

"Wha- Huh?! The hell's going on between you and Sugimura?! You better not make the new Tsukuyomi my stepsister or something like that!"

"But I thought she wasn't your mother?" Hector asked.

"Fuck off, Churroman!"

"The banter was fun, but I have a point to get to, so just quiet down and listen closely, Park." Yua sighed. "Some of the guys on my faction have seen you come in and out of this warehouse alot ever since Sugimura got arrested. My guess? Honami sent you here to do guard dog work, and if he sent such a good duelist to this rathole, then that must mean there's something he doesn't want leaving this place. My second guess? Sugimura's cards."

"Hm. Those are some good guesses." Hector replied, applauding Yua's logic. "But I hope you're not expecting me to confirm or deny them."

"I'm not finished. You're going to take us to Sugimura's cards without alerting the guards because you don't want to be part of this war. Honami got you fired from your old job, so you came to make things right with him, and ended up in a war you didn't ask for along the way. I'm guessing that brat beat you in a duel."

"Ruinforce and Liebe are monsters, alright." He cackled. "But I missed the part where that's my problem. I don't got anything to lose, or a place to return to. I'm just a simple man trying to make his way through the world, like my father before me... But doing so has lead me to be just another faceless soldier of Bethel." Hector explained, pulling out his communicator.

"Duel me." Yua spoke.

"Come again?"

"If you were to beat one of faction heads of the Doujima and hand them over to Honami, he'd most likely repay you, maybe by even clearing some of your name. I doubt he'd let you go right away, but it'd be an immaculate start. So duel me. If you win, I'm all yours."

"Wha- The fuck are you doing, Yua?! This is bonkers! Fuck this guy, let's go home before he calls the guards!" Park called out.

"Afterall, you said it yourself. You've nothing to lose, and nowhere to return. So what is risking nothing to start getting back to the place you belong?" Yua asked, showing her white duel disk.

"Heh. You got pretty big cajones for a mob boss. I like that." Hectot scoffed, taking out his own duel disk. "Show me a good time, Hajime Yua."

"Word your shit better or else!" Park shouted, gritting his teeth.

"This is between me and your mommy, kid."

"My only mommy is your dead fat fucking mother! Eat shit, asshole! Fall off your duel runner!"

"You get so rowdy without your chicken nuggies, don't you? I'll be back soon." Yua said, patting Park on the head before stepping forward.

"Oh I'm so gonna take a fat shit in your ashes after you die, so help me god..." He muttered.

"But I will say. I never expected a faction leader like you to be fine with betting it all for the cards of a guy who lost his rulling role to some imbecil. You mob folks never fail to amaze me." Hector said, stepping forward.

"Careful with your words. Raiden-chan is twice the duelist a third rate like yiu will ever be. But I'm not doing this to get a favour out of Sugimura or Raiden-chan. God knows when she will be able to see her father again, if ever. Having those cards won't be much, but it'll be something. You can look at this and see a Doujima member helping another Doujima member, but I see it as a parent helping out another." Yua explained.

"If you say so."

"Duel!" The two called out.

[Hajime Yua (8000) versus Santiago Hector Armstrong (8000)]

"The floor's yours." Hector said.

"My turn. I start by activating Pot of Desires. I banish ten cards from my deck face down to draw two. I summon Heroic Challenger - Thousand Blades in attack position. Using his effect, by discarding an Heroic card from my hand, I can summon a Heroic Challenger from my deck. Any responses?"

"Do your thing, don't worry about me."

"I'll summon a second Heroic Challenger - Thousand Blades. With the second Thousand Blades' effect, I special summon Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword. And then, since I control two Warrior monsters, I special summon Heroic Challenger - Morning Star from my hand in attack mode. When he's summoned, I add a Heroic spell or trap to my hand. I'll add Heroic Envoy. Then, from my hand, I special summon Heroic Challenger - Knuckle Knife. With his effect, he copes Morning Star's level, making him a level 4."

"Heroic Challengers... That's one of the last things I'd expect to see you use."

"I like to live up to my role as the leader of the combat faction."

"Fair enough. Honestly, I like it. Fighting such an unexpected deck wielded by such a grand opponent ought to make this a fun duel." Hector smirked.

(Media - Blood)

"A fun duel... While I enjoy dueling and having fun while doing so, this isn't one of those cases. If I wanted to have a fun duel tonight, then I would have cooked my son's favourite pasta dish and put on one of the spaghetti westerns he likes watching, but that isn't the case tonight."

"I'm not your son and you're not my mom! And don't go telling strangers what movies I like!" Park called out.

"It never mattered who was my opponent tonight. Whoever it was, their fate would all be the same." Yua said, pulling down her eyepatch.

The air around the duelists began to tense. Even though he spent most of the time bantering back and forth with Yua up to now, Hector felt the sudden pressure and staggered back.

"Hey... What the hell is going on..." Hector asked.

"Simple... You're going to lose."

Yua extended her hand forward.

"Thousand Blades, Extra Sword, Morning Sword, and Knucke Knife... All five of them, overlay!"

"W-what the hell are you going to do?!" Hector called out.

"Defeat you, and get Sugimura's cards back. Knowing how careful Honami has been ever since Bethel's takeover, if there's one thing I don't need to guess, is the following... You're commanding the guards here. They'll only do what you order, so if you're taken out, then we can just get in, grab the cards and get out. So to that effect... I'll utterly crush you."

Yua opened the eye that was previously hidden behind her eyepatch. It was completly white, but suddenly, a number appeared in it, and began shining in a bright orange colour.

It was the number 86.

"Spear of the end of the world! Descend on this mortal realm, and clear a way through the true oppressors of this world! Xyx Summon! Number 86: Heroic Challenger - Rhongomyniad!"

"But... But that card is banned, isn't it?!"

"Maybe. But don't cards make their own rules? The existence of Numbers proves such thing. Rhongomyniad's effect! Different effects activate depending on the number of materials attached to it! With one material, it cannot be destroyed by battle. With two materials, it gains attack and defense. With three materials, it's unaffected by the effects of other cards. With four materials, you cannot summon. And with five materials, once per turn, I can destroy all your cards. In addition, since Extra Sword is attached to it, it gains an effect that further boosts its attack."

"4000 attack just like that... That's fine, that's perfectly fine...!" Hector muttered, gritting his teeth.

"You can keep saying that to yourself if you want. Turn end."

Yua
Hand: 2
LP: 8000
OOXOO
OOOOO

Hector
Hand: 5
LP: 8000
OOOOO
OOOOO

"Draw!" Hector looked at the cards in his hand. "Even if you're carrying a monster of that size with you... You still need to attack a monster in attack mode to deal damage... I set a monster and end my turn!"

"At the end of your turn, one of Rhongomyniad's materials is forcelly detached."

Yua
Hand: 2
LP: 8000
OOXOO
OOOOO

Hector
Hand: 5
LP: 5
OOXOO
OOOOO

"I'll end things now. Draw. I summon Heroic Challenger - Assault Halberd. I activate Heroic Envoy to add Morning Star to my hand, and using his effect, I special summon him from my hand. His effect will add Heroic Chance to my hand. Assault Halberd, Morning Star, overlay! Xyz Summon! Heroic Challenger - Claiomh Solails!"

"A monster that doubles attack... Even so, Rhongo can't be affected by your own cards, so Heroic Chance and Solails' attack doubling won't be much use."

"If I were to take another guess... It'd be that you're smart enough to know that a duelist wouldn't make such simple mistakes when playing the deck they've been using for years. I activate the spell card Xyz Gift."

"What?!"

"Since I control at least two Xyz monsters, I can detach two materials from a monster I control to draw two cards. I detach two of Rhongomyniad's materials to draw two cards. And since Rhongomyniad only has two materials now, he can be affected by cards again. I activate Heroic Envoy! Rhongomyniad can't attack directly this turn, but his power is doubled!"

"8000..."

"Claiomh Solails' effect. I reduce my life to 500, and in exchange, one of my monsters will have his power doubled at the start of the battle phase. (8000 > 500)"

"Even if Rhongomyniad's atack gets to 16000... He can't attack directly, and doesn't have piercing..."

"Like I said... It's wrong to assume a duelist would make such obvious mistakes when using their beloved deck." Yua said, revealing one of the cards in her hand.

"B-book of Taiyou?!" Hector asked.

"This is why I keep telling her she's an old hag. Bitch be pulling these old ass cards just to go around a minor issue or two. This wouldn't be needed if she wasn't such a show off with Rhongo." Park laughed.

"Don't be mean to mommy. Book of Taiyou's effect. Your face down monster is turned to face up, attack position."

"Tch... Salamangreat Gazelle..."

"AHAHAHAHAHA! OH GOD, YOU REALLY ARE TONIGHT'S BIGGEST LOSER! THE ONE TIME YOU DRAW INTO THE ONE GAZELLE YOU CAN RUN, YOU JUST SET IT FOR IT TO BE RAN OVER BY RHONGOMYNIAD!"

"And don't be mean to strangers either. Battle phase. With Claiomh Solails' effect, Rhongomyniad's power is doubled. Rhongomyniad... Attack! WORLD END'S SPEAR! (16000)"

"Burn in hell... HAJIME YUA! (8000 > 0)"

With a strong blow from Rhongomyniad, Hector was blasted against one of the warehouse's walls at full strength, knocking him out instantly.

"Man, talk about piss easy!" Park cackled. "And never call yourself that again! You're not my mom!"

"Fine. Have it your way then." Yua shrugged, putting her eyepatch back on. "But then you can pay for your extra chicken nuggies after we're done here."

"...tch, I'm sorry... Mom..." He muttered under his breath.

"Apology accepted." The leader of Susanoo chuckled, putting her arms around Park.

"T-THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN HUG ME! HANDS OFF, YOU STINKY OLG HAG!"

After obtaining Shohei's cards back and leaving without a trace, Yua and Park returned to their home. The following morning, after being informed of Raiden's next location, Park set out for the forest around Kuuga, and got to the cabin hours before the three girls. Damn, Susanoo is better that finding things than Raiden is at playing BA.

Around ten in the morning, the girls got to the cabin.

"I'm so tired of driving... I love my 86 but I'm not driving again this month..." Nakiri groaned as she unlocked the cabin's door and entered the house. "Howdy- HOLY SHIT, WEIRD CONTAINER GUY ON THE COUCH!"

"Will you shut the hell up? God, you're annoying..." Park scoffed, getting out of the couch that he used to nap while waiting.

"P-park?! How the hell did you get here before us?!" Raiden asked.

"I think the most important questions are how did you find this place and why are you here? I thought you were our enemy." Nagi said.

"That'd be sweet but if Yua's on your side, then I'm on your side. And we Susanoo guys have our way to find things. Yua sent me here to give you this." The white haired boy explaining, tossing Raiden an envelope with cards.

"Cards?" Raiden opened the envelope, and her eyes widenned. "Nafil Asylum Heth Knight and Chaos Knight, Silent Honor ARK and DARK, and Toadally Awesome... T-these are Shohei's cards! How did you get them?!"

"We went to get 'em back instead of sleeping. Man, I hate when Yua has these shit ideas that include me... Whatever now. You got the cards, so I'm bouncing. Good luck on doing whatever you're doing." Park shrugged and headed for the door.

"Wait, Park-san." Nagi spoke up. "Why not join us? We're currently looking for allies to help us free Sugimura-san."

"That'd be nice, but I'm still part of Susanoo. Oh, that and I dun' wanna. If you wanna get people, I heard there's this guy sending weird radio messages around the beach district. Sounds like the type of weirdo to join you guys on your suicide charge against Bethel."

"Rude! I'm calling your mom!" Nakiri explained.

"BITCH I WILL END YOU WHERE YOU STAND AND DUG YOUR GRAVE BEHIND THIS CABIN! SHE IS NOT MY MOTHER!"

With his final words out of the way, Park left the cabin and started heading back to town on his bike.

"Hm. Is Yua-san actually his mom?" Raiden asked.

"Dunno. Big bro said he was adopted." Nakiri shrugged.

"Susanoo's affairs don't concern us yet, so we should leave it at that." Nagi sighed and sat on the couch. "Hm. This is quite comfortable."

"I know right?! My uncle was a massive conspiracy theorist guy who hated the government, but he knew how to get the good shit from Ikea!"

"That sounds like the type of thing you should have told us before we got here! Mou, Nakiri-chan! What if he shows up?!"

"Not a chance. He moved to Florida to be next to his brainless friends and said he'd never come back. Now quiet! I'm gonna lock myself in my room and cook up one of the greatest's decks ever! Just you wait for it, Raiden-chan!"

With her bag of cards on her bag, Nakiri just kinda screwed off to the first room she saw and got to work.

"I wonder what Nakiri-san means with that." Nagi hummed, laying down on the couch.

"It's Nakiri-chan so... So it's Nakiri-chan." Yeah, Raiden didn't had any excuses for Nakiri's ways.

"Hey, Raiden..." Nagi spoke, extending her arms. "Come here."

"N-N-N-NAGI, NOT HERE, WHAT IF PARK FORGOT HIS HELMET OR SOMETHING?! WHAT IF NAKIRI-CHAN COMES GET A SNACK?! WHAT IF-"

"You're overthinking the meaning of cuddling on a couch." She sighed.

Kuuga City.

I guess banned Numbers make their own rules. Can't wait for Mario to bust out Shockmaster on Minoru's grunkle.
