Chapter 50: Aftermath

Daniel sighed as he sat back in the helicopter, looking out at the dwindling form of The Asylum. ("Finally it's over.") He glanced at the sword lying in his lap and chuckled. The thing looked almost harmless when sheathed. Of course when drawn and wreathed in phantom flame, all it took was one swing of it to convince the Emissaries holding his friends hostage to turn tail and run. ("Plus it helped to let them know that if I was here then their boss was dead.")

He swept his gaze across the people in the helicopter with him. Nearly everyone was asleep or still unconscious, in Kaiba's case. In fact the only person still awake was..."Penny for your thoughts Yugi?"

The diminutive duelist looked over at him and smiled. "Nothing really. It's just that Yami and I were curious what Rikuo was going to do with the Howling Sword. It is a powerful weapon and just as powerful of a card too. It might rival the Egyptian God Cards."

Daniel looked at the sheathed weapon and frowned. "I don't think we need to worry about the big bad wolf demon turning evil. He's a really good guy at heart, if a bit of a jerk sometimes."

Yugi nodded and looked out at the ocean beneath them. "And what about you and me? Who should we say won the tournament?"

Daniel rolled his eyes and yawned. "You go and be the champion. I'll be content being the guy that knows the champion."

Yugi laughed. "I guess so." He looked over at still out-cold Kaiba. "What about him and your duel?"

Daniel snickered. "I'll get to it eventually. I'm too tired to at the moment though."

Back at the Asylum...

The video screen in Giovan Garlin's office flickered and flashed through the taped recording of the duel in the burial chamber over and over again.

The man sitting in Giovan's chair tapped his shadowed fingers together as he watched the Howling Sword cut down Garlin once more. ("Interesting indeed.") He smirked and lay back in the chair. ("I suppose that makes Rikuo Amero and Daniel Pilkington the winners of the tournament. The rest of the board will want to hear about this.") He popped the tape out of the desk player and stuffed it into his shirt pocket. ("But first I need to pay the boy a visit.") He looked over at his jet black duel disk and snickered. ("I hope he doesn't think the Shadow Corporation is done with him.")

In front of him the video screen showed an overlay picture of both Rikuo and Daniel. ("This isn't over yet. Not by a longshot.")
