Duel 17: Same Desire, Different Path

'From the day I was a child, I was taught a lesson by my mother.', the figure thought. 'All that matters in your life is your own desires. How you obtain them and who you use doesn't matter. So long as you get what you want. But at the time I had no desires. And she looked at me in disgust. To her that meant I had no reason for being. Then...HE came into my life. My mother's desire was to find one who could be a worthy spouse for her a woman of her caliber. She found it in Aether. He was a kind man. Our first meeting went very well. Whoever my father was, he couldn't compare to Aether. Aether made sure that he was there for me. He raised me like I was his own, and it was no surprise that he constantly mentioned his old family that he had left behind. But most frequently, he mentioned his son who he had left behind. Aether would go on about how he thought that one day, his son would become a hero. It was then that I found my desire. I would become a hero. I didn't care how. I would become a hero that would make Aether proud where his real son couldn't! So I began to learn Duel Monsters. I'd seen great duelists like Yugi Moto face-off against threats that would have brought an end to everything. So I built a deck based on the most legendary dragon. Blue-Eyes. But it occurred to me that something was lacking. There was no evil for me to face and destroy. Then my mother's words played in my head. If I couldn't find an evil to defeat, I would create one. I told my mother of my desires, and for once she seemed pleased with me. She led me to a chamber where evil monster cards dwelled. Ones she had assembled. She even gave me dark powers to assist in acheiveing my desires. From then, my path was clear. I would seek out duelists who desired to rule, or wished to gain great power and give them these evil monsters. Then, I would defeat them as all hope seemed lost. I would stand triumphant as the champion! And Aether would forget about the son he left behind. Each time he mentioned his actual son, my heart seethed with envy. However, my plans hit a wall. Instead of me standing triumphant, another duelist had defeated Sombra at Duelist Kingdom. One who used a Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck. At the time, it was of no concern. For as strong as Sombra and Zorc were, they were weak compared to the Wicked God cards I had given to Tirek. But yet again, they were bested by the same duelist. One who wielded a deck identical to mine! It was then that I found the name of the one who had robbed me of my glory. Burst Stream. Aether noticed my frustration and tried to dispell my foul mood. But when he heard the name of the duelist that had been defeating the foes I had made for myself, he froze. It was then revealed to me that this duelist was Aether's real son. The one that he had left behind. And now...here we are.' Blitz removed his hood and stared hatefully at the mental image of Burst. 'You robbed me of my victory. You and that stupid smile! But what I hate most of all...YOU became the hero Aether thought you would be! The one he constantly talk about. But soon....soon that will all be rectified. When I'm done with you, I'll have everything that is rightfully mine! And I'll be the one hailed as the hero!' Blitz then noticed Burst and Moon strolling towards the cafeteria and grab a seat with their friends.

'Tonight Burst. Tonight is when I take back what's MINE...'
