AN: This is an old story of mine that I never properly finished. I have a bad habit of not completing longer stories. Even though this isn't a very popular or well written work of mine, I still wanted to add a final chapter to hopefully give it some kind of ending (less detailed and shorter than originally planned). I may do a similar revision for other stories I have abandoned over the years. Thank you for reading and please check out some more of my current stories!
The Ominous Trap
Yusei was sure he had opened his eyes, but there was so much darkness surrounding him, he could not see a thing. After lifting his body off the ground, the young man felt a stinging pain on the back of his head. "Ow. What's going on?"
Yusei pressed his hands back on the ground to find his balance, realizing the surface was warm and shacking. He reached his arm out to feel a wall besides him. Yusei had no idea where he was or how he even got there.
As he began to compose himself, Yusei slowly remembered the house he drove to after receiving a call to finish a repair job. When he got to the house, there were screams coming from inside, so he ran in to help whoever was in trouble. The last thing Yusei remembered was a group of men jumping up from behind him and attacking him.
It was all just an elaborate trap that he fell victim too. The question was, who set it and why?
Yusei stood up and felt a handle besides him, connected to the wall. "A door?"
He tried to opened the supposed door, but with no luck. If only he was a bit physically stronger. After thinking it through, Yusei figured he might be trapped in some sort of vehicle compartment. Like in the back of a truck. Yusei stumbled across the floor, banging into something rather large. Yusei pulled down a sheet covering the object and was shocked when he saw it was his own duel runner. "What is this doing here?"
Suddenly, there was a light coming from behind him. Yusei turned his head and saw a man with a sly smile appear on a screen.
"I am glad to see you have finally woken up, Mr. Fudo." The man said in a raspy voice. He seemed like a very well-dressed man, but with no soul behind his grey eyes.
Yusei stared angrily at the screen. "Where am I? Who are you? What the hell do you want with me?"
The man smiled widely, showing off his tinted teeth. "So it is true. You're as smart as you are capable. Capable with a deck and a duel runner, I mean."
"Look, whatever you want from me, I'm not going to have any part in it. Now, let me go!" Yusei screamed. Whatever the man's true motives were, Yusei had a feeling that they were something bad.
The man gave Yusei a slight laugh. "Well, let us cut to the chase then. I'm putting together a turbo dueling team for the upcoming World Racing Grand Prix and with your incredible dueling skills, there is no way I can lose." The man explained.
"Not a chance! I already formed a team with my friends, so if you could be so polite to pull over and let me out-" Yusei tried to say before getting cut off.
"Oh on the contraire! You see, I know a great psychiatrist that has a very interesting way of persuading peoples' minds." The man chuckled. "He might be a bit of a control freak, but he can certainly get the job done with minimal complications."
"Well, I'm not staying around to find out." Yusei yelled again. The duelist went straight for his runner. He was going to ram his runner into the wall and bust out of this trap.
"I do not think so, Yusei Fudo!"
Before Yusei could rev his duel runner into the wall, a hissing sound filled the compartment. His eyes began to cloud up and his breathing started to become labored. Yusei saw a strange cloud of gas was quickly surrounding him.
Suddenly, the whole world started spinning and Yusei could barely move his muscles. He started moaning, desperately trying to stay conscious. It felt like someone was pressing on his whole body and dulling his mind. Before he knew it, Yusei started to black out.
Yusei had no idea where he was now. There was a strange light coming from a far off place. He focused his eyesight on that small bit of light. Suddenly, the small spot of light started to grow. It seemed to be coming straight towards Yusei. As the light grew closer, a ray of colors danced across Yusei's vision. Finally, an intense glare of bright, white light surrounded Yusei.
It was when the light started to die down, Yusei saw the strangest sight right in front of him.
