The Queen's Gambit: The Story

The most powerful piece in chess is the queen.

When this piece joins the game of Duel Monsters anything will change.

With two dragon sisters, a magician and her descendant, the queen will take her rightful place.

As it should have been.

Chapter 8: Mokuba

Our young heroes were currently walking along a forest path of the Duelist Kingdom, sharing with each other the duels their other friends hadn't seen.

Currently, Yugi retold his Duel against Ryota Kajiki, who had been third in the Japanese Championship, and his underwater monsters.

Sehrazat's group listened in excitedly and asked questions.

After Yugi ended his tale Jonouchi said: "Ryota Kajiki is a hard guy to hate."

"Well, he did give you fish!", reminds Sadiye, holding hands with her big sister Kihana.

"I still can't believe you didn't think of bringing food to the island.", tutted Kihanan gently, which made Yugi's group all look sheepish.

"And I can't believe this is not butter."

All stared at Maja, all beside Sehrazat who nodded in understanding.

"Is it time to spout cryptic nonsense Maja-Chan?"

The brunette with the long wild spikes nodded happily, which made all sweatdrop.

"All duelists came here with their own hopes and dreams.", tried Anzu to steer their conversation back to something normal.

She liked Maja but experienced for the first time this side of her was a bit strange, Anzu won't lie.

"Yeah.", agreed Yugi. "They have their own problems, just like us."

"Problems...", repeated Jonouchi and thought about his dear sister Shizuka. "You're right."

That's when they all heard a cry for help. Surprised they looked around.

In the distance they saw the lackey of Pegasus with the really pointy hair, having a boy in a chokehold who screamed for help.

They all run up to them.

"Hold it right there!", shouted Honda.

Hair-Guy Lackey stopped and turned around, still with the boy in a chokehold.

Again the boy asked for help and courageous Honda Judo threw the Hair-Guy over his shoulder, freeing the boy in the pink shirt.

Long Honda couldn't celebrate his victory, because Hair-Guy got up again and kicked him in the face.

Poor Honda fell down defeated and Hair-Guy grapped again the boy in the pink shirt.

While Kihana, Maja and Anzu helped Honda up and checked for injuries, Jonouchi commanded Hair-Guy: "Stop it! You won't get away with this!"

"What's your problem?!", added Sehrazat ready to let Afya take over to beat Hair-Guys ass.

"There's no need for violence.", called Yugi.

Joey and Sehrazat looked at him surprised and the girl tried to control her Yami who was ready to slaughter Hair-Guy.

"It's for your own good that you don't interfere.", told Hair-Guy turning around with the boy in his arms and showing them his empty Dueling Glove. "This guy lost all his Star Chips."

The boy cried out: "You're wrong! My Star Chips and cards were stolen from me!"

"It doesn't matter. If you lose all your Star Chips, you're deported from this island."

With this and the words those are the rules and he should give up, Hair-Guy walked with his "prisoner" away.

"Guy's we can't let this poor kid be kicked out!", said Sehrazat.

"Truth, if his cards and Star Chips were stolen it is unfair.", agreed Kihana.

The others also nodded in agreement and so they ran after Hair-Guy.

They reached him by a little port, where he threw his prisoner with the other duelists who lost in a tiny rowing boat.

"What did the person who stole your Star Chips look like?", wanted Yugi to know from the boy in the pink shirt.

"I didn't see his face because he covered it with a bandanna.", explained the boy. "He suddenly challenged me to a duel."

"Was it at the Duel Ring in the grasslands?"

"Yeah. When I placed my Star Chips and my deck on the table, he stole them and ran off!"

"We'll find that thief, so just wait!"

Hair-Guy informed them all how the boat departed in 30 minutes. That was their time limit.

"We'll find the thief.", promised Anzu.

"You will get your Star Chips back in no time.", assured Kihana.

"Just be patient!", added Maja.

"We'll find him and teach him a lesson!", growled Honda, hitting with one fist his open palm.

With Afya in their shared minds, who called for bloodshed, Sehrazat nodded rapidly.

"Yeah! For a duelist, Star Chips are the same as his own life!", said Joey. "I won't forgive anyone who steals those Star Chips!"

"Is this not a bit too dramatic?", mumbled Sadiye to herself.

The only real ones who were in a life-or-death situation were Aunty Amira and Yugi's grandpa...oh and Joey needed the money for his sister's eye operation.

Maybe that was a Duelist thing?

Sadiye also played Duel Monsters, but she wasn't as obsessed with it as Sehra, Nee-Chan and Yugi and Joey.

The boy in the pink shirt said thank you to them and Joey, of course, had to make a joke saying he would take as a reward for catching the thief half of his Star Chips.

All sweatdropped and stared unimpressed at him.

After this, they made their way to the Duel Ring where the theft had happened.

Honda asked Jonouchi what this reward nonsense was, however, Joey laughed, confirming he was only joking.

The blonde wondered then, why they returned to this Duel Ring and how they should catch a thief without a clue.

Now, Yugi explained that he only knows how criminals always return to the place of the crime.

"That's so smart, Yugi-Kun!", praised Sehrazat and sat down beside him on the ground.

Yugi laughed shyly and blushed red, one because of her compliment and two because they were so close.

He could smell her nice perfume.

Lotus blossom if he wasn't wrong.

The others also sit down on the ground.

They didn't even need to wait long as suddenly a short masked boy with a wool hat and a bandana on his face sprung out from the bushes.

"I found you, Yugi!", he shouted...in a voice Sadiye know.

Confused the youngest in the group blinked.

Huh?

Where did she hear this voice before?

"He must be the one we're looking for!", said Joey, as all jumped back up from the ground. "I'll beat him up!"

"No! Don't use violence!", shouted Anzu and Kihana together.

Bandana-Boy growled Yugi's name and Joey and Honda growled back he should give back the Star Chips he had stolen!

"Wait.", stopped them Yugi, before really fist were swinging. "I think he's here for me."

Suprised all looked at him.

Yugi turnend to the boy.

"Do you want to duel me?"

The Bandana-Boy nodded.

Okay, so a children's cards game shall clear the situation, alright.

Only poor Sehrazat rubbed her temple because Afya still demanded blood.

Sometimes she forgot how her loving Gran-Gran could be a bloodthirsty Warrior-Queen.

While Yugi and Bandana-Boy took each their place on the Duel Ring, Honda promised he would make the thief pay if he tried to steal Yugi Star Chips.

Joey agreed and how they wouldn't let him escape.

As the voice of reason came Kihana: "Guys, there has to be a reason why he wants to battle Yugi so much. Let's watch the Duel, maybe we will find out."

In one second Yugi was there and then...not anymore.

Since Sehrazat and her friends saw Yami for the first time they all gaped and even blushed or got bashful.

The pharaoh was hot!

Only Sehrazat just looked neutral.

Meh, she liked Yugi better.

Also, the pharaoh was her 3000-times Grandfather so, ew, no!

However, she couldn't help but tease Afya a bit.

"Gran-Gran, Pops is hot. You have good taste."

Afya just flicked her forehead.

"Not now child of mine, also I'm pretty sure we had an arranged marriage, you know, like it was used in the old times."

"I see how you are practically undressing Pops with your eyes...don't lie!"

"I pledge the Fifth!"

"Gran-Gran!"

Meanwhile, the others noted how the boy didn't have a Duel Glove, so he was definitely the thief. Then they wonder why Yugi would duel him if they only had such a short time to return the Star Chips.

It was Anzu who pointed out that maybe Yugi knew who the boy was!

Yami and Bandana-Boy wagerd 5 Star Chips and began their duel.

The first turn was Bandana-Boy.

"I play Man-Eating Plant in attack position."

Man-Eating Plant: ATK 800/ DEF 600

Yami countered with Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress.

Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress: ATK 1400/DEF 1200

Bandana-Boys monster was destroyed and his Life Points dropped to 1400.

"You can't defeat my monster using stolen cards.", lectured Yami. "Because your heart doesn't dwell inside stolen cards."

"Yugi, I don't believe in your 'heart of the cards'! Cards aren't about the heart! Cards are about power!", shouted the thief back.

"Like I thought, you're Mokuba, Seto Kaiba's younger brother.", revealed Yami.

Angry the thief took off his disguise.

It was really Mokuba Kaiba.

"Mokuba-San?", shouted Sadiye. "What are you doing here?"

"You know him?", asked Anzu.

Sadiye nodded.

"We go to the same school and class. He sits on the bench before me."

"Sadiye-San, my brother vanished because Yugi hurt his pride.", answered Mokuba his classmate, before he turned back to Yami. "It's your fault that Pegasus is now trying to take over Kaiba Corporation!"

"What? Pegasus?", asked Yami, while the others also looked worried at Mokuba.

This didn't sound good at all.

Mokuba explained how Pegasus spread the news of how Yami defeated Seto Kaiba worldwide. Since then, Kaiba Corporation has lost the trust of its investors and business has plummeted. Pegasus had just waited for this moment. He talked in private with The Big Five, Kaiba Corps Board, telling them to transfer all their chares to him. Only like this, they could save the company. The Big Five agreed under the conditions that Pegasus would defeat Yugi in a duel. Of course, Pegasus agreed, saying how easy this would be.

But since Mokuba had the key to the Storage Facility, where all the important documents were, Pegasus kidnapped him to the Duelist Kingdom as his prisoner, before he could flee.

"Yugi, it's all your fault!", accused Mokuba.

"I understand the situation, but that's no excuse for stealing other people's cards.", told Yami.

"Be quiet! I play this next!"

Krokodilus appeard on the field.

Krokodilus: ATK 1100/ DEF 1200

"Go, Krokodilus!"

The monster attacked Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress, but was of course defeated by the more powerful monster.

"It's pointless to keep duelling.", said Yami. "This game isn't so simple that you can win with stolen cards."

Jonouchi agreed: "That's right! Stealing Star Chips for revenge is the worst!"

"You're wrong! You have the wrong idea! I have to protect Kaiba Corporation in my brother's place!", shouted Mokuba back.

It's then that Anzu realized if Mokuba managed to get Yugi Star Chips, this would disqualify him, meaning Yugi technically never lost a duel.

"What do you mean?", wondered Honda.

"You don't understand?", asked Joey.

"Do you?"

"Well, no. What do you mean?"

"She means: If Yugi doesn't lose in a duel, Pegasus's agreement with The Big Five is void.", answered Kihana.

All beside Anzu made an oh sound.

They got it now.

"I see.", mumbled Yami, before he saw that Mokuba wasn't anymore on his Dueling Platform. "Mokuba!"

As it turns out Mokuba climbed Yami Duel Station and managed to grab Star Chips, leaving him with only three, before the younger Kaibe started to run off.

However, he was stopped, by Sadiye who stood in his way with her arms open.

"Sadiye-San! Let me pass!"

"No, Mokuba-San, what you doing is wrong!"

"It's the only way!"

Before he could just run around her Kihana, Maja and Sehrazat blocked his way too.

"Mokuba-Chan.", began Kihana. "Please there is another way, just listen."

Under the ice blue eyes of Sadiye's older sister, Mokuba felt he looked at Seto's beloved Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which made him stop in his tracks.

Sehrazat took over: "You have to trust Yugi. If he beats Pegasus, nothing will happen to Kaiba Corp."

Maja and Sadiye nodded in agreement.

"Kaibe is suffering right now.", called Yami. "But that's so he can learn about the heart of the cards. He's fighting to win his pride back. Kaiba will return when he learns about the heart of the cards. Are you willing to abandon your brother and the trust in Kaiba Corporation?"

"But...But what should I do?"

"Like Kihana and Sehrazat said...I promise to defeat Pegasus. If you want to know what Kaiba is struggling with...If you want to understand the heart of the cards, give that boy back his deck and his Star Chips."

The younger Kaiba thought for a second and looked at his classmate and her sister. Again his eyes found Kihana, who nodded at him.

He really had a feeling he was interacting with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon...it was strange but nice.

Mokuba turnend back to Yami.

"I undertsnad. I trust you, Yugi."

"The boat is leaving in three minutes!", reminds Anzu.

"Let's don't waste time!", shouted Sehrazat.

They all ran as fast as they could back to the little port.

Sadly the boat was already leaving!

They meet Hair-Guy at the port who smugly said: "The losers' boat already left."

"But they shouldn't have left for another minute!", disagreed Anzu.

"That's unfair!", shouted Sehrzat with balled fists.

"I don't care.", said Hair-Guy.

Joey accused Hair-Guy of tricking them, which all our friends agreed on.

Mokuba holds out his hand with the Star Chips to Hair-Guy.

"I'll return these Star Chips, so call the boat back."

Hair-Guy just slapped the Star-Chips from his hand and they fell into the ocean.

Oh no!

"Some of this were Yugi's!", exclaimed Sehrazat.

Feeling guilty Mokuba said sorry to Yugi.

"If you have your Star Chips stolen, then you're a disgrace as a duelist.", mocked Hair-Guy. "That alone is enough to disqualify you."

Then he gripped Mokuba.

All shouted shocked.

"Unhead, Mokuba-Chan!", growled Kihana, while Sehrazat felt, beside her own, Afya's anger.

In one second both switched places.

Before anyone could realise what happened, Afya and Kihana stormed the Hair-Guy, Afya punched him hard in the face and Kihana took Mokuba from him.

With the boy in her arms, Kihana ran back to the group and they all huddled protective around him.

Afya had her feet on Hair-Guys back to keep him down.

"Don't move or you will regret it.", the once queen of all Egypt hissed.

"You bitch...!"

"Insults won't get you far."

To demonstrate it Afya stomped Hair-Guy harder into the ground.

All were fascinated by that and Yami was immensely proud.

His queen was truly a strong woman.

A real Warrior-Queen.

...It was so hot!

Hair-Guy realized how he was in a pickle and decided to change his tactic.

"Alright, alright, the boy stays with you but...The only way to gain Star Chips is through duels."

"What do you mean by that exactly?", growled Afya, pressing her foot harder into his back.

"If I see right Yugi has still three Star Chips left.", began Hair-Guy. "I don't duel but in an hour I will find an opponent for him, so he can stay on the island."

"And what is the catch?"

"That you let me go."

Afya hummed and turnend to Yami.

"What do you say?"

"Any funny business and Afya will throw you in the ocean.", said Yami seriously.

"No funny business I swear!"

"Alright, Afya let him go."

"No you guys should go with Mokuba away, I will catch up to you and tell you the details from this guy. I don't trust him not to try to grap Mokuba again. Kihana protect him!"

"Of course, your Majesty, it's not even a question."

So the group without Afya walked away and when she was sure they were far enough, slowly she lifted her foot from Hair-Guys back.

He stood up, shaking and gasping for air, but told her where this duel for Yugi/Yami would be.

In an hour at the grasslands, where they had duel Mokuba.

Afya gave Hair-Guy a last look which screamed murder, which made the man shake and then caught up to her friends.

(*)

An hour later our group of nine now returned to the Duel Ring.

Kihana held hands with Mokuba and Sadiye, Maja and Anzu stood protective beside Mokuba, Maja ready to unleash magic in case something went wrong, while Joey and Honda stood before them and before them were Yami and Afya leading.

"We should be careful.", whispered Afya to Yami, she didn't want to worry the others. "I bet with you Pegasus henchman has a surprise in store."

"We will be careful and keep one eye on Mokuba."

"Kihana is strong and Maja has some surprises up her sleeve."

"Care to tell me?"

"The magic we use isn't the only one."

This made Yami blink for a second surprised before he gave Afya a smile.

"How you and Kihana saved Mokuba and you kept the henchman in place was incredible."

Bashful Afya put a bit of her long blue hair behind her ear.

"It was nothing. I couldn't watch a child being kidnapped!"

"Of course, but you reacted the fastest of us. You are a true warrior."

"Well...I might be your queen but I won't disagree how I'm a warrior too."

Both smiled flirtatiously at each other.

They couldn't before all flirt as they normally would.

First, it was their private affair and second, they didn't want to give the others second-hand embarrassment.

Hair-Guy already waited for them.

Yami came straight to the point: "Who's my opponent?"

"He's already here. Look!"

All let out surprised shouts.

"Kaiba?"

"Nii-Sama!"

Kaiba laughed.

"Yugi, I'll get my revenge!"

I finally finished a sky beyond the storm and my heart is broken 💔 anw I need to rant ‼️ BEWARE SPOILERS‼️

I love Laia and her character development. I think it's realistic to see how she grows from the scared and anxious girl in the first book to a strong, brave, dependable woman that she is in the last. I actually can't see why anyone would hate on her character. Realistically speaking, who wouldn't be scared if they were in Laia's shoes? And despite her fear and anxiety in earlier books, I think she handled herself pretty well. A strong female character doesn't always have to be a badass, sarcastic, bitchy girlboss. Laia shows that she can be as much of a girlboss with her patience, grace, understanding, and softness.

Elias, I don't know how to start with him. I FREAKING LOVE HIM. I think in my list of best male characters, he's pretty much up there. He's a strong and reliable leader, a trusting and lovable friend, and a very, very, VERY selfless human being. Reading his POVs as the Soul Catcher just breaks my heart. It hurts to see how a vibrant and passionate life like Elias reduced to an unfeeling creature of death. He used to have so many interactions with everyone around him, and as the Soul Catcher he can't do that. And Mauth just pisses me off the whole time. HOW COULD U DO THIS TO MY POOR BOY? 😭 Anw I'm glad he got the happy ending he deserves. I personally hoped for a much grander ending for him and a much grander and tear-jerking "welcome back to life" from his family and friends (as if I haven't cried enough 🥲), but well at least he's happy. Also his interaction with Mirra and the others in the Waiting Place before his time as the Soul Catcher was up is just *chef's kiss*.

Helene, Helene, my poor baby. You've suffered enough and lost probably more than anyone. This woman watched her whole family, her friends, the love of her life murdered in front of her eyes. The odds are stacking against her, and yet she survives. After so many losses and defeats, she finally wins. Loyal to the end indeed (that motto is going to haunt me for the rest of my life 🥲💔). She grows from someone who is ignorant of the Empire's sins, serving it blindly, to someone who accepts the Empire for its good and bad, accepts her own sins, and does her best to fix everything. I love how she finally accepts her feelings, her anger and grief and her love for Avitas. I think I should learn a thing or two from her.

I love all the characters, not just the main three, but the others as well. I love Avitas, ever so patient and loyal to Helene. I love Livia, what a gentle and determined soul. I love Musa with his teasings and jokes and loyal, tragic love. I love Darin with his brotherly love and boyish interaction with Elias. Afya, Gibran, Aubarit, Tas, Mamie, Shan, Quin, Faris, Dex. I even love Keris and the Nightbringer as villains. They make me furious but I also sympathize with them. I understand where their actions are coming from.

I love the relationships. Laia and Elias. Helene and Avitas. Helene and Faris last scene was heartbreaking, as did Helene and Livia. Helene and Musa's friendship is a breath of fresh air--and is that a possible romance between them I'm sensing? Though I see them more as siblings who bond with each other for their shared loss of loved ones. Elias and Helene duo is back at it again and I couldn't stop punching the air when it happened. Elias and Darin interactions always make me smile. Elias and Avitas's brotherhood, too beautiful and too short lasting. Elias and Mirra's "pass the baton" moment, as well as Mirra acknowledging him as her son-in-law 🥹 Also the relationship I didn't expect to make me cry so hard: Keris and Karinna. Keris finally accepting her fate and Karinna finally crossing to the other side. Do you think Karinna knows that Elias is her grandson?

I love the fights. I love the battle strategies. I love how everyone plays their respective parts in the battle against the Nightbringer. I absolutely love how Elias and Helene command and unite their respective armies.

I was hoping for more Elias and Keris interaction, honestly. I got the feeling that even after all she's done, deep down Keris still loves Elias and is afraid of that feeling. I think she's much like Helene in that matter. I also think that Elias doesn't really get the appreciation he deserves, but maybe I'm just biased lol.

That being said, I think this book is a very satisfying ending to close the main characters' journey, except for Helene's love life lmao help 🥲 but I think it's realistic enough. After all it'd be too convenient if all the main characters and their loved ones survive, and Sabaa Tahir has made brave choices in killing some of the major characters. In conclusion, I'm pretty satisfied with the ending and I love this series and its characters so much. Goodbye, embers in the ashes. Thank you for bringing me along in your journey ✨
