Lost In The Sound of An Empty Room

The Shadow Game has come to a conclusion. The purple fog started to disintegrate, as everyone was petrified at the sight of Lifepoints hitting zero. But the most shocked of them all was the Egyptian in the purple cloak, arms weighted down as he stared straight at his opponent's monsters shattering into pixelated dust.

"I…." Melvin stuttered, " I won…?"

"He won?" questioned Tristan, Tea, Mokuba, and Kaiba.

Joey murmured under his breath, "No freaking way…"

"I…" Melvin repeated in shock, "I won?"

The Pharaoh's puzzle crashed down on the ground as the sky finally turned back into a clear blue sky. No one expected this to happen. The King of Games has lost to Melvin, of all villains! The duel was over, and even the victor still could not believe his eyes.

Hidden piñatas started to explode around this silent group of people. Confetti fell down from the sky as it filled up the stage. Melvin had totally forgotten that he installed those just in case he won.

And he did.

"No Effing-way! I won!" finally cheered Melvin with his fists up to the sky, "Hahaha! I'm the happiest villain in the world!"

Melvin twirled around as he sang an off-key tune about how he defeated the Pharaoh. Meanwhile, everyone else stood there just letting Melvin savor his victory, while the Pharaoh had his knees to the ground, questioning where his protagonist powers had gone off to.

Melvin swung his cape triumphantly as he left in a flash towards the elevator. From up the tower, everyone stared at the tiny far off Melvin laughing and running with joy towards the Kaiba Corp Blimp.

"Hello! Who wants a hug?"

In an instant, all of Kaiba's employees dashed away from the ship, leaving a cloud of dust as they scattered away like ants.

"Um, guys?" asked Joey, "Shouldn't we…do something? Why aren't we doing something?"

"Oh, please," Kaiba scoffed in the background as he ended up joining the friendship group standing on the edge of the stadium, "if you haven't forgotten, the blimp was damaged by that filler with the green-haired kid."

Tristan shed a manly tear, "He was my favorite villain."

Seto turned his back away from the nerd herd as he stared at the blimp from the corner of his eye,

"Anyways, unless this Melvin is a super genius, I'm sure he won't find a way to-"

"Hey…" Melvin exclaimed from far away, "What is this ON switch over here? Sounds interesting~"

"Oh, darn." Seto cursed.

The blimp turned on and started to ascend, rising twenty feet up from the ground. Kaiba's brows wrinkled in disgust, "Mokuba, remind me to fire everyone responsible for this."

"Everyone except me, right big bro?"

"I'll think about it," responded Kaiba, as he turned to the sore loser on the ground, "Hey Pharaoh! Not that I care, but where's your stupid puzzle?"

The Pharaoh kept his eyes on the ground, "My puzzle...? Where's my Aibou?!"

"Oh no." Joey prepared himself as the Pharaoh fisted the sky and wailed,

"YUUUUGIIIIIIIIII!"

"There he goes," Joey scratched the side of his head.

"Don't worry, Pharaoh." Tea sat down as she rested her hand on the Pharaoh's shoulder, "I'm sure we'll find some plot hole to bring Yugi back."

The Pharaoh turned to Tea with his mascara already pouring down his cheeks. He sobbed, "Okay, you're right. Whoever is writing this part, I'm sure this will end up with me getting everything I want."

The Pharaoh stood up, "But I'll be dammed if we rescue Yugi only to lose him again in the next season."

"We can sure hope that won't happen…" Tea shrugged.

"Hey, Pharaoh! I win the bet!" shouted Kaiba as his Blue Eyes White Dragon Jet appeared behind him, "Friendship can kiss my ass!"


Inside the blimp, Melvin got into the control room. One of the panels had been fist –struck by him, which accidentally made the machine work on autopilot. The villain had created another hit song as he moved his shoulders side to side with the tune,

"I'm on a blimp! I'm on a blimp! I don't know how I got here, but I don't care! Cuz' I'm on a blimp! I'm on a blimp! HAHAHAHAHA!"


The blimp was now high above in the sky.

"Well…there he goes…" Tea looked up.

"Should we ask Kaiba to send in a helicopter for us? I'm not sitting on his lap!" Joey exclaimed.

"We will," assured Tea, "I'm just still trying to figure out how Melvin is such a dumb name for a villain."
