(Camula is praying quietly)

Yami Bakura: What are you doing, woman?

Camula: Remembering the troops who died for us… Even the undead must respect the flag…

(tears trickle down her cheeks. He gently hugs her, caresses her face and wipes her tears)

Yami Bakura: Raise the flag…

One of our production zombies raise the American flag and all the undead, producers, Yami Bakura, Camula and myself salute the American flag as the Hunchback sounds the 11 bell salute.

Ch. 1

Don't go Waking the Dragons!

(Ryori is running for his life as a Blue-Eyes White Dragon is chasing him. You can even hear it roar)

You probably wanna know why I'm being chased right now by a ferocious Blue-Eyes White Dragon? It's a long story, but it might help you.

-Game Shop, Domino Town, 24 hours ago-

You know that's Tea, Yugi, Joey and Mr. Muto. But the short kid with the weird parted bright red hair? That's me, Ryori, only 24 hours ago. I went to the Game Shop, because I found this black box with what I thought was an urn or some sort of pottery. To be truthful, my grandfather (believe it or not) found it during the Vietnam War.

I've no idea what it was until Mr. Muto told me. Apparently this has the ability to destroy the world or some sort. Frightful when you think about it. "Whatever you do, DON'T GO WAKING THE DRAGONS!" Mr. Muto warned me. "Yes, of course." I said fearing for every inch of my sane morality.

And frankly, I don't blame them for being concerned about me doing that. Especially with that criminal still out and about.

I distinctly remember Joey looking at me with that murderous glare. I've only seen him give others that look when something about certain people was eating at him.

Like I said, I don't blame him… I've never been the kind of guy who had very many friends…

Before I left school that day, I went to the library. I figured: "If I can't open that sealed Dragon Game, I may as well read about it." The Library was completely dead after school. Except for some mysterious figure sitting at the Science and History section nobody was really there.

Wow… I had no idea this place was a ghost town this time of day… I thought with some odd feeling. It's the kind of feeling you get when you know something horrible is about to happen.

I grabbed the book I was looking for and when I turn around, this strange figure was standing before me. I had no idea if he was a cult member looking for a recruit, some sort of evil druid or something in those lines.

*: You want to learn the ways of the Dragons?

Ryori: I'm not gonna play around with that… I promised Mr. Muto with every inch of my morality.

(the figure teleports behind Ryori)

*: Are you sure? You remember all those horrid people who tortured that very morality? The people who hurt you and put you down as if your existence didn't matter…?

I stood there with a very angry, yet vengeful look on my face. Did this Enigma have to bring all my pain and sorrows back? I wanted to kill this guy, but I decided I'll save my wrath for him later!

Producer (in background): What? Your Poliwrath? Who are you Misty?

Ryori (flips the bird at producer, angry): SCREW YOU!

Zombie Warrior cuts the head off that idiot Producer… (Don't worry, he deserved it and we were planning on firing him anyway.)

PLEASE STAND BY!

(Pan to Joey chucking darts at a picture of Kaiba on the dartboard)

WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM

Not wasting any time, I decided to look at the forbidden knowledge. Then I looked at Egyptian history. I found a connection (and now I'm hungry.) Being an evil villain works up an appetite and requires a good nights rest.

The next day, during gym class; while everyone was in the pool (everyone except me) I decided to snatch the Millennium Puzzle. I decided to gain ultimate power that way. I left a little note telling Yugi to come by Room C a bit later. When I opened the seal, I challenged him to a Shadow Game through the Dragon Cards. I beat him once making Yugi's soul the prize for them.

What I didn't realize, was that Yugi had another personality. I played him again. He beat me and I didn't even realize his strategy. In doing so, I lost my soul to them. Which leads us to right about…

(Blue-Eyes White Dragon roars as Ryori runs for his pathetic young life)

…now!

I'm running for my life from some vicious blood thirsty dragon who wants to eat me! My only way out is through that hole on top of that ceiling.

But as I go to reach it-

-Meanwhile in Room C-

Yami Yugi (thinking): This game can never be opened again! I must seal it back up and hide it somewhere where it will never be disturbed again.

Yami Yugi ties the rope, soul urn and ties them up as well as the Dragon Cards blocking Ryori's only means of escape

The figure shows up and says: "Remember, Ryori… Curiosity killed the cat…" Then he takes the dark portal leaving me behind. "WHAT AM I? CHOPPED LIVER?" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon finally catches up to him, leaving poor Ryori screaming in agony as it eats him alive

-Class C-

Yami Yugi was about to leave when Mindy, (in Genie form) approaches him

Mindy: I'll take that if you don't mind.

Yami Yugi: What do intend on doing with it?

Mindy: I'm going to burn it. This is too dangerous for anyone including, MetaHumans, the undead and Humans as well.

Yami Yugi: Okay, I trust you.

(Yami Yugi hands it to her.)

Mindy: Thank you. You are doing the world a good deed.

Mindy vanishes without a trace. Yugi comes back to his senses with no memory of what happened

Yugi: What was I doing here?

(Sees that he has the Millennium Puzzle back)

Yugi: My Millennium Puzzle is back with me. Oh well, whatever it was, I'm sure I'll remember it sometime later.

(Yugi leaves not realizing Ryori's soulless corpse sat right across from him. As the door closes, Ryori's body turns to dust and blows away with the wind.)

Ch. 1 End

To be continued…!

HEY HEY HEY! It's question time! Remember Gaming Hour fans, this question has a 1 week time limit! I know you Gaming Hour fans have probably wanted to ask me this and you've probably been demanding it, so here's the question of the week:

"DO YOU THINK MAI AND IIMA SHOULD CONFRONT THEIR PARENTS ABOUT IIMA'S 'QUESTIONABLE LIVING CONDITIONS' FOR THE PAST 24 YEARS?"

Send your answer by messaging me or by a review. On 11/19/11 at exactly 12:00 midnight, this question poll will end and I'll be ready for the next chapter. See you soon!
