Yu-Gi-Oh: Lost Memory

Part 3

The first few weeks at school were great. I made a lot of friends, but the group I hung out with the most were Tea, Tristen, Duke, Joey and Yugi, sometimes Bakura was there too. Everyone was very nice to me and I felt completely at home with them. Sometimes I just got a weird feeling like someone was watching me, but when I looked back I didn't see anything.

Today was another school day and I was on my way to school. I stopped when I suddenly saw Tea running in panic. "Tea, what's going on, why in such a hurry?" Tea looked at me wide-eyed. "A man stole the millennium puzzle eeh that pyramid necklace from Yugi. Yugi ran after it and I wanted to find the rest to help" Tea almost screamed. I was shocked that someone would just rob someone in broad daylight. The necklace must be very important to Yugi I thought. "Okay, you go get the rest I'm going after Yugi, which way did she run?" Tea indicated which direction they had run and quickly ran in that direction. At one point I saw arrows pointing in a direction. "Can hardly be a coincidence" I said aloud and started to follow the arrows. I ended up at an old werehouse, after sneaking in because I heard voices I saw Yugi standing on a platform ready to duel against a man wearing a cape over himself. "Yugi, are you okay?" I asked as I got closer. "Ciana? How did you get here?" Yugi asked concerned and surprised. "I ran into Tea on the way who told me what had happened and I wanted to help you if I could" I said. Yugi gave me a small smile before returning to focus on the duel that was about to begin. The cape of the man's head was removed and Yugi shocked "Bandit Keith? why are you doing this" but Yugi got no answer back.

Half way through the duel, Yugi's opponent called the Rare Hunter, but also the Bandit Keith spoke in a strange voice "Just give up little Yugi, without the other you are nowhere and the puzzle will soon be mine" spoke the weird voice that came out of Bandit Keith. "He's not alone!!" I screamed. Bandit Keith looked at me savagely "You come next little Ciana, even if you have nothing left of your past. I know enough about it and when I have the puzzle I come for you, you will be my queen" laughed the voice. A shiver ran down my spine. "Leave her alone, your duel is with me" Yugi shouted. In the end Yugi won the duel and I immediately ran to the platform and tried to pull the puzzle off the wall together with Yugi, who had now also arrived on the platform, but we didn't succeed.

"If I can't have the puzzle, nobody will have it," said the voice, which was now very close behind us. We looked around us and saw Bandit Keith standing behind us, he pushed us aside and took the puzzle in his hands. The moment he had the puzzle in his hand he smashed the puzzle against the wall where the puzzle hung on a pin and it fell apart, I felt a sharp pain go through my body and everything went black.

After Bandit Keith smashed the Millennium Puzzle, he wanted to attack Yugi, but an unexpectedly swinging Bakura dragged Bandit Keith away, he was helping Yugi put the puzzle pieces together in the box, before Bakura quickly left, Bandit Keith lashed out at the voice in his head. Finally he picked up a pipe and started swinging it in the air. Yugi tried to yell at him to stop but it was already too late, Bandit Keith hit equipment which caught fire that quickly spread around them.

Yugi quickly tried to put the puzzle pieces together because he could not free the last piece that was on the pin and he hoped that when he could free Yami, that Yami could free the puzzle. "Ciana?" Yugi called looking around anxiously but he couldn't see her. He quickly returned his attention to the puzzle and tried to put it together as quickly as possible. The room grew hotter and hotter and he couldn't breathe properly because of the smoke that had developed from the fire.

Not long after, Joey and Tristen entered the burning building and helped Yugi free the puzzle from the wall. The moment Yugi had completed the puzzle, he collapsed. Tristen and Joey didn't wait a moment and picked him up and ran outside where firefighters were already busy putting out the fire. "Ciana" Yugi spoke in a hoarse voice through all the smoke. "What's up Yug?" asked Joey, not quite understanding him. "Ciana ... was with me, ... in .. building" Yugi spoke with his last strength and fell then unconscious. "SHIT!" cried the two boys. Tristen placed the puzzle with the pin on Yugi's stomach who was still in Joey's arms and then quickly ran to a firefighter "Our friend Ciana is still inside!" Tristen shouted, several firefighters looked at him in shock before several firefighters ran into the building with their equipment looking for the young lady. After about ten minutes of searching, the firefighters came out again and one of them had an unconscious Ciana in his arms. Ciana and Yugi were rushed to the hospital where the rest of the group went.
