Hello all Storm here with a new chapter! Here we'll be seeing another original chapter along with bringing in a new character. Though fair warning, this chapter is really dark. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
As the participants in Duelist Kingdom wandered the island, searching for other Duelists to challenge and get the required ten Star Chips to move on to the finals. Though unknown to them, they were also being watched by dozens of hidden cameras, scattered throughout the island.
With the feed of the cameras being sent to one of the underground dungeons, hidden throughout the island. With this dungeon resembling a medieval dungeon/torture chamber, complete a Rack, an Iron Maiden, an Iron Chair, a Brazen Bull, wooden stocks, and many other such devices. With several of them also being stained with dried blood, showing they have been used.
Meanwhile in a corner of the room, showed several screens, all depicting live footage of all the Duelists on the island. With the person watching them being shrouded in shadows, but one would be able to tell they were female by their shadow.
'So many cute and handsome boys, I don't even know where to start.' The stranger thought, gained a demented grin on her face, as she focused on the images of several boys that had her interest, until her eyes settled on a screen showing Naruto and Rin, with a twisted gleam appearing in her eyes.
'Him! That's who I want! Hearing his screams as I break him will be my greatest pleasure!' Thought the stranger, wanting to take Naruto as her newest pet.
And luckily for her, she had the perfect means of bringing him right to her, as she looked at another monitor showing Téa and the others. The woman having secretly been on the boat, to scout the Duelists for her future pets and saw how close she was to Naruto.
'Oh, the sight of their mutilated bodies and the broken look in his eyes, when he sees them! Ooooooohhh!' The stranger thought, verbally moaning in pleasure at what she'll do to them, before throwing her head back and laughing madly.
*With Téa*
Meanwhile, on another part of the island, Téa was walking through the forest with Tristan, the group having just parted ways with Mako after Yugi's duel with him. The group having decided to put Tristan's survival guide to use, since the fish didn't really stay with them, that long. Even if the others weren't too keen on the idea of foraging for food.
They had also split up to cover more ground, with Téa going with Tristan, Yugi going with Miho, and Joey going off on his own.
"You know, despite the circumstances, it's really nice being here and getting to admire the scenery of the forests and jungles on the island." Said Téa, smiling as she took in the beauty of the nature around her, finding it rather peaceful and relaxing.
Though there was one downside that kept Téa from fully enjoying the scenery.
"Aw man, why couldn't I have been paired with Miho. I'd finally get to show her how awesome I am at surviving in the wild." Tristan complained, having wanted to be paired with Miho and show her how reliable he is on the island, while Téa's eye started twitching, since she's had to deal with Tristan complaining the entire time, ever since they split up from the others.
"Tristan, I swear if you don't-" Téa began, ready to snap at Tristan, only to go silent when she heard him grunt in pain.
Looking, Téa gasped in horror, when she saw Tristan lying on the ground unconscious. While standing over him was a woman that looked to be in her twenties, with long gray hair, tied up into a ponytail and a strand of hair hanging between her yellow eyes. And wearing black heels, black leggings, a black skirt with a slit on the right side, a white and gold military style jacket with the top few buttons left undone, showing her cleavage, and halfmoon glasses on the bridge of her nose. While at first glance, the woman seemed quite beautiful, but it was ruined by the twisted expression of disgust and loathing as she looked at Tristan.
This was Celenike Icecolle.
"You worthless, filthy, hideous, animal! A creature like you isn't fit to lick the dirt off my boots!" Celenike sneered, even stomping on Tristan's head in emphasis, and ensuring he was knocked long enough to complete her goal.
"Get off him!" Shouted Téa as she ran and pushed Celenike off Tristan, with the woman glaring at Téa with a sadistic smile on her face.
"Worthless little slut! How dare you touch me, without permission!" Celenike screamed as she tackled Téa to the ground, as they began rolling on the ground, trying to overpower the other.
"Yugi! Joey! Miho! Help!" Téa screamed, hoping they would hear her, which it did as Yugi, Miho, and Joey heard Téa's cry from where they were, before instantly running off to where they heard her.
Téa would have screamed when again, only for Celenike to wrap her hands around her throat.
"Ah, ah, ah. We wouldn't want anyone to come and ruin our fun, would we?!" Said Celenike, smiling psychotically, while Téa desperately tried removing her hands, only to see she was stronger than she looked.
Now starting to panic and feel lightheaded, Téa looked around desperately for something to get Celenike off her. Before noticing how close they were to a tree, with Celenike's head being right next to it. Knowing she had to act fast, Téa's hand shot up and grabbed Celenike by her hair, before she could react, with the younger girl slamming her head into the tree.
Thankfully, this was enough to knock Celenike out, as Téa eagerly took several deep breaths, before quickly pushing Celenike off her and scrambled away from the psychotic woman.
"Téa! Where are you guys?!" Yugi shouted from somewhere in the forest, as Téa stood up on shaky legs.
"We-we're over here! Hur-AH!" Téa screamed, only to be cut off when Celenike grabbed her from behind, having faked being unconscious.
"I have you now, and soon I'll have new pet fox, as well!" Said Celenike, while putting a cloth doused with chloroform over Téa's face, silencing anymore screams from her and to knock her out.
Téa's eyes widened in shock and horror at Celenike's words, taking a moment to realize she must be talking about Naruto. Given his whisker-marks did look like the ones on a fox, this meant that she was kidnapping her to lure Naruto to her. Now struggling even more, not wanting to be used in a trap to draw Naruto in, Téa tried escaping Celenike's hold on her. Only for it to be in vain, as she soon slumped unconscious, making Celenike grin crazily before carrying her away to her dungeon.
By the time Yugi, Joey, and Miho arrived, they only saw an unconscious Tristan on the ground and Téa nowhere in sight. With Miho staying to tend to Tristan, while Yugi and Joey tried finding where Téa was.
*Later-With Naruto and Rin*
After some time, on another part of the island, Naruto and Rin were confronted by one of Pegasus's hired guards. With Rin glaring at the man, recognizing who he was, Kemo, an employee at KaibaCorp since Gozaburo's time, and now realizing just how Pegasus was able to kidnap Mokuba.
"Well, it's such an "honor" to see you're safe, Ms. Tohsaka." Kemo said mockingly, as Rin grit her teeth and scoffed at him.
"Kemo, you're the reason Pegasus has Mokuba, aren't you. I hope you're happy with whatever Pegasus gave you, because neither Seto nor I are going to take you betraying us like this, lightly!" Rin growled, only for Kemo to glare at her.
"It's not betrayal, if I was never loyal to begin with! The only KaibaCorp I'll ever work for, is the one that was controlled by Gozaburo Kaiba! And thanks to the deal the Big Five made with Pegasus, KaibaCorp will soon be restored to its former glory!" Kemo retorted, his words only making Rin's scowl deepen, knowing this meant they didn't get over Seto's "betrayal", with Rin fully knowing her brother would never have allowed them any power in KaibaCorp, after all the work they did with Gozaburo.
"Well, it just means that we'll have a better idea of what messes we'll need to clean up, when we get back." Muttered Rin, knowing she and her brother's will know who they'll need to get rid of, once they've returned to Kaiba Corporation, though also wondering just how far the corruption and treachery ran.
Naruto and Rin got ready for a fight, only for Kemo to smirk and hold up his hands.
"Oh, I'm not here to fight you. Since you're both competitors in the tournament, there's nothing I can do, so I'll leave it up to one of the Eliminators to deal with the both of you." Said Kemo.
"And what makes you think we'd just find an Eliminator to duel?" Said Naruto, only being set on edge when Kemo pulled out an envelope, and held it out for them.
"Because if you don't, then I can't promise your little friend's safety." Kemo answered, with Naruto's eyes widening, before grabbing the envelope and opening it, only to be horrified and furious at what he saw.
Wondering what it was, Rin looked only for her eyes to widen at seeing a bound and gagged Téa, slumped unconscious just over the spikes of an Iron Maiden.
"Where's Téa?!" Naruto demanded, angry that someone else he cared about is now being in danger.
"Follow me, and I'll take you to where she is." Said Kemo, with Naruto and Rin scowling, but knew they didn't have a choice if they wanted to save Téa.
With that, the two followed Kemo to a cave and down a flight of stairs, soon arriving in a large dungeon/torture chamber. Though the moment they walked inside, they were shocked when a pair chained manacles shot out and latched onto Rin's wrists, before she was pulled back to a Rack. With her ankles being restrained as well, once she was lying on it.
"Rin!" Naruto shouted in worry, before rounding on Kemo, wanting nothing more than to beat his face in.
"You said that you couldn't do anything to us, while we're in the tournament!" Said Naruto, glaring at the man, with Kemo smirking cruelly.
"I said that I couldn't do anything. I didn't say anything about the Eliminators, though." Kemo said, backing up as Naruto scowled, before looking around and saw where Téa was.
"Téa!" Naruto yelled, waking Téa up from her forced sleep, with the girl being relieved when she saw Naruto, only to realize where they were and that she's currently dangling above an Iron Maiden.
This making Téa scream against her gag, and struggle to escape.
"Téa, calm down! I'll get you out of there." Said Naruto, trying to calm her down, before he heard a deranged giggling and saw Celenike step out of the shadows.
"He right. If you keep struggling, those knots may come undone and they're the only thing keeping you from falling onto those spikes. But if you want to keep struggling, then go right ahead! Just imagining you being impaled, choking and gasping on your own blood, it sends shivers up my spine!" Celenike said, wrapping her arms around herself, before laughing cruelly.
Her words caused Téa to go completely still, though the terror was still present in her eyes.
"Hey! If you wanna duel me, then fine, I'll duel you! But let my friends go!" Naruto demanded, only to be unnerved when Celenike began laughing in a truly psychotic manner, her face gaining such a twisted and insane look, that she didn't even look human.
"You really are an idiot! Where would the fun be in letting them go?! I don't want to duel you, I just want to break you, and any other little Duelists that I come across, into my toys and pets! And I'll start by killing these little sluts you care about!" Said Celenike with an insane and demented look on her face, before the ground opened up revealing a ground-level Duel Arena, which she and Naruto stepped onto.
"Here's out it works, there's no Field Spell Power Bonus, just one normal arena. If you win, you'll get my Star Chips and I'll let your friends go. But if you lose, you'll be my newest pet, while your precious friends will meet a gruesome and untimely end! For every life point you lose, the Iron Maiden will close just a little more and the Rack will pull the girl apart limb-by-limb. And if your life points hit zero, well I'm sure you already know." Celenike said, before laughing madly, as Naruto clenched his fists, hating what was happening, but knew he had to win this duel
"Praetor, be careful. This woman's soul is more twisted and darker than most people I have ever come across." Nero warned as she appeared, with Naruto nodding in agreement, wanting to beat this lunatic quickly and then tie her up somewhere, so she can't hurt anyone else.
"DUEL!"
Naruto-2000
Celenike-2000
"Lady's first." Celenike said, before drawing a card.
"Yeah, just let me know when you see one." Stated Naruto, with Celenike grinning darkly.
"You have spirit, I'll enjoy breaking it! First, I set a monster face-down in Defense Mode. Then set one card facedown and end my turn." Celenike said, putting one monster in Defense Mode while putting another card facedown, with Naruto frowning at the rather simple move, wary of what it could be.
"Alright, I draw." Naruto said, drawing a card and adding it to his hand.
"I'll start by activating Polymerization to fuse together the two Thunder Dragons in my hand to fusion summon, Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon!" Naruto said, playing his Spell Card as his two dragons appeared and fused together into a larger two-headed red version of themselves.
Polymerization
Card Type: Normal Spell
Effect: Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material.
Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon
Attribute: Light
Level: 7
Card Type: Normal Monster.
Monster Type: Thunder/Fusion
Card Text: "Thunder Dragon" + "Thunder Dragon"
ATK/2800 DEF/2100
"Now I'm equipping my dragon, with Mist Body." Naruto said, making it so his dragon couldn't be destroyed by battle, removing at least one way she could destroy it.
Mist Body
Card Type: Equip Spell
Effect: The equipped monster cannot be destroyed by battle.
"Now Thunder Dragon, attack her facedown monster!" Naruto said, with Thunder Dragon roaring, before both heads unleashed blasts of lightning at the Defense Monster, revealing it to be Helpoemer.
Helpoemer
Attribute: Dark
Level: 5
Card Type: Effect Monster.
Monster Type: Fiend
Effect: Cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. If this card was destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, this effect activates at the end of each of your opponent's Battle Phases: Discard 1 random card from your opponent's hand. This card must be in the Graveyard to activate and to resolve this effect.
ATK/2000 DEF/1400
"I activate my Trap Card, Coffin Seller!" Celenike said, revealing her face-down.
Coffin Seller
Card Type: Continuous Trap
Effect: Each time a monster(s) is sent to your opponent's Graveyard: Inflict 300 damage to your opponent.
"This trap goes with the effect of Helpoemer. When Helpoemer is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, now at the end of each of your Battle Phases, you have to discard one random card from your hand. And if it's a monster, then Coffin Seller activates, and you take three hundred points of damage! Now go on, get rid of a card!" Celenike said, eager to see Naruto discard a card and take damage, whenever it's a Monster Card.
Frowning, Naruto turned his hand over and shuffled the cards, before discarding one. Flinching when his life points took a hit, showing it was a monster.
Naruto-2000 – 300 = 1700
Naruto immediately looked towards Rin and Téa, worried when he saw the Iron Maiden closed a little, while Rin grunted as the Rack stretched her slightly.
"I end my turn." Said Naruto, as Celenike laughed madly.
"Then I draw, and your suffering will continue!" Said Celenike, drawing a card, with her smile becoming more deranged as she looked at the card in her hand.
"I summon to the field, Viser Des in Defense Mode!" Celenike said, summoning her monster, with it looking similar to one of her many torture devices.
Viser Des
Attribute: Dark
Level: 4
Card Type: Effect Monster.
Monster Type: Fiend
Effect: If this card is Normal Summoned: Target 1 monster your opponent controls; during your third Standby Phase after this effect's activation, destroy that monster. This card cannot be destroyed by battle while the targeted monster is on the field.
ATK/500 DEF/1200
"And because it was normal summoned, I can select one monster you control, and on my third standby phase after the effect was activated, that monster will be destroyed! And I choose Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon! And the best part, my monster can't be destroyed by battle, as long as Thunder Dragon is on the field." Celenike said, with Naruto's eyes widening at this, seeing as the only way to get rid of that thing, was to destroy his own monster.
"Then I place two cards facedown, and end my turn." Said Celenike, putting two cards on the field and ending her turn.
"My draw then." Naruto said, drawing a card and adding to his hand.
"And I activate my second Trap Card, Nightmare Wheel!" Said Celenike, activating another trap.
Nightmare Wheel
Card Type: Continuous Trap
Effect: Activate this card by targeting 1 monster your opponent controls; it cannot attack or change its battle position. When it leaves the field, destroy this card. During each of your Standby Phases: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent. That monster must be on the field to activate and to resolve this effect.
Naruto's eyes widened, when his Thunder Dragon cried out as it was suddenly restrained on a large demonic-looking Wheel.
"With Nightmare Wheel, your Thunder Dragon can now no longer attack or change its battle position. And during each of my standby phases, you'll take five hundred points of damage! Sure, it'll be gone soon enough, thanks to Viser Des's ability, but before then, you'll both get to suffer!" Celenike said sadistically, with Naruto looking at his dragon in worry as it was restrained, before gulping and looking at his hand trying to think of a strategy.
There was hardly anything he could do at the moment, since he couldn't attack with his Thunder Dragon anymore, and even if he could, Viser Des can't be destroyed thanks to its ability. Not to mention, each time his battle phase ends, he'd be forced to discard a card and if it's a monster, he'll take damage thanks to Coffin Seller. Now with Nightmare Wheel, he'll still take damage on each of Celenike's standby phases.
'I have to end this quickly, or Téa and Rin won't make it out of here!' Naruto thought, while looking at his cards, before a plan began forming in his head.
"I summon Hunter Dragon in Attack Mode!" Naruto said, summoning his dragon to the field.
Hunter Dragon
Attribute: Dark
Level: 3
Card Type: Normal Monster.
Monster Type: Dragon
Card Text: This dragon has taken down countless prey with its sharp fangs. It strikes very quickly, because if it does not strike first it is vulnerable to a counter-attack.
ATK/1700 DEF/100
"And I'll equip it with, Big Bang Shot." Said Naruto, while equipping the spell to his dragon.
Big Bang Shot
Card Type: Equip Spell
Effect: The equipped monster gains 400 ATK. If the equipped monster attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. When this card leaves the field, banish the equipped monster.
"This not only boosts Hunter Dragon's ATK by four hundred, but now it can inflict piercing damage." Said Naruto smirking
Hunter Dragon: ATK/1700 DEF/100 – ATK/2100 DEF/100
"Go Hunter Dragon, attack Viser Des!" Naruto said, as Hunter Dragon roared and flew towards Viser Des attacking it, though the monster wasn't destroyed, Celenike still took damage.
Celenike-2000 – 900 = 1100
"Grr, you still have to discard one card now!" Celenike shouted, angered that he dared attack her life points, while Naruto discarded a card, thankful that it wasn't a monster.
"I set one card facedown, and end my turn."
"My turn! And thanks to Nightmare Wheel, you lose five hundred more life points! And don't forget the effect of Viser Des, two more turns and your dragon is gone!" Celenike grinning wickedly, as the Iron Maiden closed even more, while Rin grunted as the Rack pulled her tighter.
Viser Des: 1
Naruto-1700 – 500 = 1200
"First I'll activate the Spell Card, Card of Sanctity, allowing us both to draw until we have six cards." Celenike said, as they both drew until they had six cards in their hands.
Card of Sanctity
Card Type: Normal Spell
Effect: Each player draws until they have 6 cards in their hand.
"Now I summon Dark Jeroid, in Defense Mode!" Said Celenike, while summoning her monster to the field.
Dark Jeroid
Attribute: Dark
Level: 4
Card Type: Effect Monster.
Monster Type: Fiend
Effect: When this card is Summoned: Target 1 face-up monster on the field; it loses 800 ATK.
ATK/1200 DEF/1500
"And now that it's summoned, it's effect activates, letting me target one of your monsters and have it lose eight hundred ATK points. And I choose Hunter Dragon!" Celenike said madly, as Hunter Dragon's strength went down.
Hunter Dragon: ATK/2100 DEF/100 – ATK/1300 DEF/100
"And I play the Spell Card, Double Summon!" Celenike said, playing her spell.
Double Summon
Card Type: Normal Spell
Effect: You can conduct 2 Normal Summons/Sets this turn, not just 1.
"And with it, I can summon again! And I choose to summon, Bowganian!" Said Celenike, summoning a second monster.
Bowganian
Attribute: Dark
Level: 4
Card Type: Effect Monster.
Monster Type: Machine
Effect: During each of your opponent's End Phases, inflict 300 damage to your opponent.
ATK/1300 DEF/1000
"And I end my turn there." Celenike said, with Naruto gulping, knowing he needed to do something before he lost the last of his life points.
"Okay, my move." Said Naruto drawing a card, looking to see what he had and what he can do, now that Hunter Dragon was out of commission with less ATK points.
Only to frown in worry, since he didn't really have anything that could help him, at the moment.
'Damn it.' Naruto thought, while looking at Rin and Téa.
"I summon Lord of D. and end my turn." Said Naruto, summoning his monster, which was all he could do at the moment.
Lord of D.
Attribute: Dark
Level: 4
Card Type: Effect Monster.
Monster Type: Spellcaster
Effect: Neither player can target Dragon monsters on the field with card effects.
ATK/1200 DEF/1100
"Then that means Bowganian's effect activates, and you take three hundred points of damage!" Celenike said wickedly, as Naruto's life points went even lower, with Rin and Téa growing closer to their demise.
Naruto-1200 – 300 = 900
"And with the start of my turn, Nightmare Wheel activates, giving you five hundred more points of damage!" Said Celenike, drawing her card as Naruto took more damage.
Viser Des: 2
Naruto-900 – 500 = 400
This time, Rin was unable to bite back her scream of pain, as the Rack started stretching her limbs farther than they were able to.
"Rin!" Naruto shouted, while looking at her fearfully, before looking at Téa, as the Iron Maiden spikes her dangerously close to closing in on her, while Celenike laughed at his fear
"Yes, yes! Look at them, watch as they suffer, as they're ripped apart and pierced to death! And the longer this duel goes on, the longer their pain will last! In fact, I activate my face-down, Gift Card!" Celenike said, activating her second facedown trap.
Gift Card
Card Type: Normal Trap
Effect: Your opponent gains 3000 Life Points.
Naruto-400 + 3000 = 3400
"Why would you do that?" Naruto asked warily, wondering why she'd willing give him that many life points, only to shiver when Celenike laughed psychotically.
"So I can watch as you squirm! Being helpless as those sluts grow closer and closer to dying! Now that torment will last even longer! The only way you can help them, is to surrender and end their misery now! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Celenike laughed as her face twisted into an expression of pure sadism and cruelty.
Naruto looked at his hands and saw they were actually shaking in fear, he was genuinely terrified right now. This…thing didn't even care about winning the duel, she only wanted to watch him suffer, to be helpless in helping his friends. Only being forced to watch at they were tortured, not even sure if they'll survive long enough for him to even win.
Part of Naruto even started thinking…maybe it would just be kinder to surrender. Rather than having Rin and Téa be tortured more as the duel went on.
"Naruto!" Téa shouted, having managed to bite through her gag, while pulling Naruto from his dark thoughts of giving up.
"Naruto, you can't give up! You can't let this psycho win! If she does, it's not just us she'll go after, but who knows who else she'll kidnap and hurt for her own sick amusement! You have to beat her!" Said Téa.
"She's right! You can't let someone like this win, or walk freely! And you said you would save your sister, are you just going to give up now?! Without even trying?!" Demanded Rin.
Naruto looked between the two, surprised at their words, while Celenike snarled.
"Shut up, you stupid little whores! If I hear anything else from you, I'll cut out your fucking tongues!" Celenike screamed, furious that they were interrupting her fun.
"Hey! Either play a card or end your turn!" Said Naruto, glaring at Celenike, now once again determined to take this psychotic bitch down, and make sure she can't hurt anyone else.
"I end my turn!" Celenike growled, swearing she'll make him suffer for thinking he could defy her.
"Good, now I'm gonna this for good." Said Naruto drawing a card, surprised at what he drew, before smirking as he now had exactly what he needed to win.
"I summon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Said Naruto, summoning the legendary Dragon, with Blue-Eyes White Dragon appearing in a pillar of light.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Attribute: Light
Level: 8
Card Type: Normal Monster.
Monster Type: Dragon
Card Text: This legendary dragon is a powerful engine of destruction. Virtually invincible, very few have faced this awesome creature and lived to tell the tale.
ATK/3000 DEF/2500
"WHAT?!" Celenike screamed at how quickly things were switched around.
"And that's not all, I activate my face-down! Dragon's Rage!" Said Naruto, while activating his trap.
Dragon's Rage
Card Type: Continuous Trap
Effect: Dragon-Type monsters you control inflict piercing Battle Damage when they attack a Defense Position monster.
"With it, all my Dragon monsters can deal piercing damage! And I'll put it to use right now! Blue-Eyes destroy Dark Jeroid and end this!" Naruto said, with Blue-Eyes roaring before unleashing a blast of energy, that incinerated Dark Jeroid and wiped out the last of Celenike's life points.
Celenike-1100 – 1500 = -400
"You lose, now let my friends go!" Demanded Naruto, glaring at Celenike, who was shaking at her loss.
"I'll let them go alright…let them go straight to hell!" Yelled Celenike madly, before overriding the Life Point Command, causing Naruto's to drop to zero as well, much to his shock and fear as he saw the Iron Maiden and Rack activating again, this time not stopping.
'NO!' Naruto thought, wanting to save them, but knew he wouldn't be able to get to them in time.
"Naruto! You must invoke a Penalty Game, use the ring quickly!" Nero said, snapping Naruto out of his fear as he looked at the Millennium Ring and nodded, while remembering what Yami did when they beat Rin and Kaiba.
"Penalty Game!" Naruto said, holding his fist out as the Millennium Ring glowed brightly, before in a flash of light, Rin and Téa were set free, while Kemo and Celenike suddenly found themselves where they once were, respectively.
With Celenike screaming in agony as she was sealed within the Iron Maiden, before they were soon silenced as blood leaked out of it. While Kemo screamed in pain, as the Rack stretched him apart before his limbs were violently ripped off, with the man soon bleeding to death.
Seeing this, Naruto's eyes widened in shock and horror, before looking at the Millennium Ring.
"Wh-what did…what did I just…do?" Naruto muttered, realizing that he had done this with the Penalty Game he initiated.
He didn't mean for that to happen! He'd only wanted to save Rin and Téa! And while he's angry at what Celenike and Kemo did, that didn't mean he wanted to kill them, let alone like that!
"Naruto, it's okay. This isn't it your fault." Téa said, as she and Rin walked up to Naruto, putting their hands on his shoulders.
"They're…they're dead, because of me…" Said Naruto still in shock.
"You are not at fault for this. You only wanted to save us, while they were fully willing to let us both die. Kemo just to get back at me and my brothers, while Celenike for her own twisted amusement and to break you. This happened because of them." Said Rin, with Téa nodding in agreement.
"Rin's right. And who knows how many other people that lunatic did this to before, how many more she would have done the same to. You didn't just save us, but anyone else she would have gone after." Téa said, with Naruto managing to give a small nod at their words, before Nero got his attention.
"You have nothing to be ashamed of Praetor. What you did, was to save those you care for. Never feel guilty for being willing to do anything for those you care about." Said Nero, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"Ri-right…let's just…let's just get out of here." Naruto muttered, with Rin and Téa nodding in agreement, both feeling shaken at how close they were to death and simply wanted to get out of this place.
The two girls picked Naruto up by his shoulders, helping him walk out of the cavern, since the whickered blonde was unable to move his legs, still in shock at what happened. None of them even bothering to get Celenike's Star Chips from the Duel Arena.
All of them simply wanting to get out of here, as soon as they can.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see the psychotic Celenike setting her sights on Naruto to turn him into her new pet, kidnapping Téa and Rin to force him to duel her, along with torturing him throughout their duel with her torture-based cards. Though eventually Naruto manages to turn things around, with some encouragement from Rin and Téa, leading to him winning the duel only for Celenike to still try and kill them. Leading to Naruto invoking a Penalty Game, switching Rin ad Téa with Kemo and Celenike, killing the two in the process. So, review if you like go away if you didn't.
Storm out
Yo, it's the Sith'ari here. Adding in my own AN to the Chapter, now that Windstorm has finished his. Now you might be wondering why Rin and Téa had seemingly brushed off what they just saw. The truth is, they didn't. They're just better at hiding it, from their own past experiences. Rin from losing her parents and Sakura, along with how ruthless Gozaburo was. Along with how ruthless she and Seto became from their time under his care, until Yami purged the evil in them with a Mind Crush.
As for Téa, the events of the Original Manga and Season Zero did happen in this timeline. Except for the encounters with Seto, Mokuba and potentially Rin as well, since she's their sister in this timeline. Nor the Monster World Shadow Game, against Yami Bakura happen. Since like with the Duel Monsters Anime, that was their first encounter with Seto, Rin and Mokuba, albeit indirectly with the latter. While Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Miho will encounter with Yami Bakura, off-screen. With Miho having chosen a monster, that either had a similar effect to Téa's Magician of Faith, or Yami managed to summon a fifth Monster, so none of his friends would be sacrificed for the Horn of Heaven.
But yeah, thanks to most of the event of the Original Manga and Season Zero happening, Téa had become somewhat hardened and desensitized to such things.
