At Domino City Pier…
Marik: Hello fools and welcome to Mind Control Time with Marik Ishtar! I'm your host, Marik, and I'll be the one who will kill you – I mean, entertain you all! Yes. That is exactly what I meant to say… when you're all DEAD! MWAHAHA -
Kristie: *grabs Marik by the ear* NO! Bad Marik! Apologize to the viewers!
Marik: No!
Kristie: *growling* Marik, so help me Ra…
Marik: Okay fine! I'm sorry for threatening to stab you all.
Kristie: Good boy, now on with the dialogue.
Marik: Yes… like I was saying… On this show, anything is possible. There are only a few rules, and the rest is up to you. So this is how it will work; (1) In your review, you'll tell me which YGO character you think I should control with my Millennium Rod. Once they're brainwashed, I can make them do anything you want, which you will specify in the review. However, I can only control them for a little while, because last night was pretty crazy and I didn't get much sleep [those fangirls are relentless, even at Walmart – luckily I had Bakura as a shield]. So no more than ONE thing! (2) Afterwards, they'll come out of their trance and they won't remember a thing. Everyone else will, though. Like last week at the club with Fluffy. Heheheh…
Kristie: Marik, no one's here though! How can you control them if they're all at that Duel Monsters tournament in Tokyo?
Marik: My Rare Hunters already have that one covered, mortal. What do you take me for, some kind of idiot?
Kristie: I think you'd be happier if I didn't answer that one…
Meanwhile, at the bus station…
Lumis: You have the flash drive, Umbra?
Umbra: Yes, Lumis, master Marik will be very pleased with our plan!
Lumis: Well then, do it!
Umbra *sticks the flash drive into the main computer system* There! The download is commencing!
Lumis: Once we've hacked into the bus station's schedule log, we'll be able to change the directions from Tokyo to Domino Pier instead! Brilliant!
Umbra: I wonder if master Marik will give us a raise for our ingenuity…
The eye of Horus appears on Lumis' forehead as his eyes glaze over
Marik (through Lumis): No.
Umbra: Just a thought…
Later at Domino Pier…
Tea: *stepping off of the bus* Joey, are you are we got on the right bus?
Joey: Yea I'm sure! I checked the schedule!
Tea: Then why are we still in Domino?
Tristan: Nice going, Joey. Leave it to you to screw this up for us.
Joey: *nerve popping in his forehead* What did you say?
Yugi: *stepping between the two of them* Look guys, it's no one's fault! Let's just get back onto the bus and –
The bus drives away quickly
Joey: Dammit!
Tea: Looks like we're not going to Tokyo…
Yugi: But wait – look over there! *points to the edge of the pier where two teenagers sit arguing*
Tristan: Is that…?
Joey: No way… Marik?
Marik turns around at the sound of his name and snaps his hands. Four Rare Hunters abruptly grab the group from behind and drag them over to him.
Marik: Yes, it is I, Marik Isthar! Bet you didn't see that one coming!
Joey: *struggling to get free * But why?
Yugi: Tell us!
Marik: Shut up! I'll tell you when I'm good and ready…
Five seconds later
Marik: Okay, so basically, I'm going to use my millennium item to give all of your fangirls a high.
Joey: *horrified* What?
Tea: You monster! That's the worst kind of torture!
Marik: *laughing psychotically* Exactly! Mwahahaha!
Tristan: Well then who's she? *points to Kristie*
Kristie: I'm the one writing this, and trust me, if you think Marik's got problems then you've yet to meet a freakin' otaku like me. *glares at them all* Got it?
Tristan: *gulps* Got it.
Marik: Now that you fools are all done getting acquainted, here's a little taste of what's in store…
Points his Millenium Rod at Joey – his eyes glaze over
Marik: You've got to give your deck to Tristan!
Joey: Yes mastuh Marik. *pulls out his deck and hands it to Tristan*
Yugi: That isn't fair – Tristan doesn't even duel!
Marik: *shrugs* That's not my fault.
Tristan: Are these drink coasters or something?
Joey: *back to normal* Where the heck is my de- TRISTAN?
Tristan: *folding the cards into a fortune teller* Red, yellow, green or blue?
Joey: YOU LITTLE –
Marik: So, basically this show is up to the will of the readers. Every chapter, we'll listen to your requests. Remember, you can control absolutely everything for a little while. You can make any character do what you want – and more characters are to come! Fools – they've got no idea what we've got in store for them! Mwhahahaha!
Hmm? You like? You want more? You want to review so that there is more? Then do it!
This is my first "up to the reader"-type game, so I'm still unsure if it's any good. I'll continue it if I get enough reviews though! Thanks & see ya!
