The Gaming Hour 4: 4rific Nightmares

By: DMEX

I told you people already!

Yami Bakura: You and I were never the best of friends…

Uncle Fenris: The feeling's mutual. I don't know what she sees in mortals like you.

Camula: Auntie Mortica got the next tale for us.

Yami Bakura (sarcastically): Oh joy…

Uncle Fenris: It can't be that bad if Mortica picked it.

Aunt Mortica: It's one of the one's you like Fenris…

Yami Bakura: Don't tell me… Some sappy story with murder isn't it…?

Ch. 2

Therapy Sessions

(sounds of random objects are heard breaking and or shattering)

I know what you're thinking… Why the destruction? What the hell caused Iima to go into a psychopathic rampage? I'll take you back a few hours ago…

It started when Iima's new therapist was to show up. True, Iima was never patient, but I had to keep her occupied or asleep until the therapist came.

If you don't know who I am, the name's Mai. Iima is my twin sister who I now take care of.

Iima is a handful. She doesn't speak too well (more or less poor grammar structure,) can be very violent, but she's not as bad as Domino Asylum made her out to be. (Then again, I haven't got to know her as much, yet.)

Iima is a very sweet girl, very gentle, quite the artist (if you can get past the disturbing images) and doesn't seem to mind when I massage her. But if you catch her on a bad day, wake her up or approach her the wrong way, prepare to be choked out.

(Iima wakes up in a cold sweat and in terror.)

Iima had bad visions of some sort of event or people yet to come… She had the faces but the names were that of what she sees in their appearance. And one of them might already be here…

Mai: Iima, your new therapist is here.

Iima (fearfully): Shock Man…

Mai: Did you have another nightmare…?

Iima (fearfully): Creeper Clown… Mirror Lady…

Iima's new therapist comes in about this time. Iima screams in terror.

I'm not sure what sent her into a panic but it almost seems like Iima is afraid of him… Maybe it was the nightmares…

But for some reason, Iima seems to know about certain things about certain people. She's a smart girl for someone who's lived in Domino Asylum for 20 some years…

"Iima I'm your therapist, Professor Frank Shock. I'll be working with you…" Prof. Frank said with a smile. He went to shake her hand, only for her to attack him and choke him (just as she did me…)

"YOU LEAVE! GO NOW!" Iima screamed in pure anger/terror as she choked him. And just like magic, Prof. Frank just slipped out of her choke. (Must be tougher than he looks and I couldn't even get out, and that's saying something.)

"That will not be tolerated in my sessions!" Prof. Frank snarled. He pulled out a stun gun but didn't turn it on. "If you strike me or choke me again, I will not hesitate to give you shock treatment." Prof. Frank warned.

Iima escapes from the window and runs away

"What are you waiting for? Go after her!" I demanded. "She'll be back…" Prof. Frank said as he put some tobacco in his smoking pipe and lit it. "You said she draws?" Dr. Frank asked.

I took him to Iima's room. I still get chills looking at her artwork. There is an entire wall full of "Evil" drawings of certain people.

Most of them had monster, demon and sometimes creepy features to them that look extremely accurate.

Dr. Frank looked at some of them. A few to name: "Bad Magic", "Bad Clown", "Zombie Face", "R.W.B. Thief", "Bad Biker" and "Iron Arms". Dr. Frank just groaned at this.

"Something wrong?" I asked. "I was afraid something like this was going on…" Dr. Frank said with a disturbing confidence.

Mai: What?

Dr. Frank: I'm afraid she's gotten much worse since leaving Domino Asylum…

Mai: She's only been out for a few weeks. I'm not sending her back.

Dr. Frank: Tell me, does she have any friends?

Mai: She rarely ever leaves the house so I can't be sure… Most of the time she's in here rocking herself in some fetal position.

Dr. Frank: And does she do anything else…?

Mai: Just sleep I guess. I massage her from time to time and it seems to help. I can't imagine what it was like for her…

I had thoughts of my twin sister… The way she smiles when I massage her. How she paints her face to show her feelings… Iima never had much of a chance in life before and I want to give her a life she never had… Nobody deserves to be locked up the way she was…

Prof. Frank handed me the drawings. "I want you to ask her about these people," Dr. Frank instructed me. "Okay, but why?" I asked.

"If she knows these faces, maybe there is meaning behind it. A fear, past experience, a traumatic event; something is behind these drawings and we need to find out." Dr. Frank explained. He told me he would be back in a week.

But if it's true, that there is meaning behind these faces…? What would it be and why?

-In an undisclosed location-

Dr. Frank: Director Goodwin, there's something you need to know!

Goodwin: And that being?

Dr. Frank: Iima, the girl you wanted me to investigate-

Goodwin: I trust she's alive…

Dr. Frank: Yes, but she knows! She knows too much!

Lazar: That's not good… Send someone in the Gaming Group's Stealth Squad to kidnap her closest friend.

Dr. Frank: Who do you have in mind?

Lazar: Smile Mask and Frown Mask.

Dr. Frank: You mean-

Lazar: If we're going to catch her and eliminate her, we need to think like her.
