~Tuesday morning~
"BEEP *pause* BEEP" wailed Joey's alarm clock. Joey's eyes opened slightly and he groaned.
"BEEP *pause* BEEP" alarm clock kept wailing at him to get up.
"Alright, I'm up…" Joey groaned and turned his alarm off. He got up, put on his school clothes put his backpack on, unlocked his window, and left through the fire escape. It is 4:30 a.m. and just about time when his father would wake up and come crashing in his room to come beat the shit out of him. Joey sighed in relief that he got away this time, most time's he's not so lucky, lady luck was on his side and the day is turning out to be a good one. He was sure that today would turn out to be a good day for him.
"Good morning Joey!" his friends called.
"Mornin', guys." Joey yawned.
"Did you get any sleep last night, dude?" Tristan asked.
"I had a headache yesterday and it kinda of kept me from sleepin'." Joey partially lied to his friends, it was true he had a headache the day before but he couldn't tell them what really happened, and he didn't want his friends to worry about him.
"Does your head still hurt?" Yugi asked in concern.
"A little but it's much better than yesterday, nothin' I can't handle." Joey stated.
"Alright." Yugi replied. Though, Yugi still felt like there was more to it than that, but he didn't pry any further. Soon, they were all at school, Joey was in his class talking with Yugi, and Kaiba had just entered when he saw something out the window, it looked like there was a storm outside but there was something else. He went over to the window and told Joey and Yugi to look outside. They did and they both gasped in surprise when seeing a portal like thing in the sky.
"What da hell is dat?" Joey asked surprised.
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like it's a good thing." Yugi said worriedly. Then, everyone left out of the school to see what was protruding in the sky. Kaiba, Joey, Yugi, Tristan, Anzu, Duke, Ryou, and Bakura all rushed to the front of the crowd of students, basically Bakura just shoved everyone out of the way and everyone else followed behind with apologies to those who have been 'physically' removed from their original places. Once, they reached the front, they stood in shock and amazement. There, in the sky, was a woman who held a demonic like sword in her right hand and a shiny angelic staff in her left hand, her outfit was interesting as well. On her head there was a white gold crown with a big red jewel in the middle of it, she also had a necklace, white gold bracelets, and red anklets to match her crown. Her over all outfit contained silky black cloth strapped together by gold in swirly designs around her prominent breasts and her lower stomach, leaving her abdomen exposed. Her legs were clad in dark grey thigh high stockings with white silver colored, knee high, high heeled shoes. Her arms had golden bands that held black translucent swishy sleeves that seemed to flow around her when the wind blew. She had dark red velvet like eyes, long, shiny, beautiful black hair that went down to her mid thighs, with porcelain white skin. She was absolutely gorgeous, anyone who would see her, would think that, but there was something else about her that screamed she was dangerous.
"Well, well, it seems that I have caught a lot of attention." She spoke in an observing like tone, but had a condescending hint laced in her voice. Joey was the only one who could hear it seeing as he had to deal with someone like Kaiba every day, Kaiba had always been one to hide strong emotions so when he would speak he would under line his tone with another emotion on top to hide it. The being looked around and it was as if she was looking for something or someone in particular. When she spotted the gang, she smiled deviously at them before ever so slowly descending her way down toward them.
"I don't like the looks of this; she's probably the most sinister looking person I've ever laid eyes on." Bakura said worriedly. Bakura went in front of Ryou in a protective stance. As did Yami with Yugi, and Anzu hid behind both Duke and Tristan, she was absolutely terrified of the woman; she didn't even know why she felt scared.
"Hello mortals my name is Negisa, and I am half breed mix between an angel and a demon." Negisa introduced herself to the gang.
"Ok I've seen my fair share of weird things in my day, but she has to be freakiest of them all." Yami stated confused.
"Of course you haven't you fool, in your world angels and demons don't really exist realistically with powers like in my world." Negisa explained. Everyone looked at her with confused expressions so she continued to explain. "In your world, angels and demons are created with your souls; or rather each and every human is either counted as an angel or a demon depending on the soul. And in my world all angels are girls while all the demons are males."
"Ok so how would one know if they are an angel or a demon?" Yami questioned.
"That's the thing YOU as a human wouldn't know if you're an angel or a demon only your soul would know which one you are and how intense, not your brain or any other organ in your body, your body is something physical and can be touched while a soul is not." Negisa finished, getting irritated with the questions.
"So, what exactly are ya here for?" Joey intervened.
"I'm glad you asked that, my dear." Negisa smirked. Joey's eyes widened a bit in fear.
"You see, I'm here to take over your world and claim it as my own." Negisa smiled sinisterly. Everyone's eyes widened is both shock and fear.
"There isn't any way you're going to take over our world!" Yami declared angrily.
"Oh and you think you're going to be able to stop me by yourself?" Negisa questioned.
"Actually, no, the pharaoh isn't going to battle you by himself, I'm going to help him." A voice behind her said matter-of-factly everyone looks and sees both Yami Marik and Marik walking around Negisa and stood next to Yami. "Marik, I want you to go with the pharaoh's friends and stay back, I don't want you to get hurt, ok?" Yami Marik said.
"Ok." Marik assured his yami and stood back, next to Ryou and Bakura.
"Alright, how about it then pharaoh? Priest?" Yami Marik asked in an amusing tone. 'Priest' was the name given to Kaiba because in his past life he was known as 'Seth, first priest of the pharaoh Atem'.
"Ready if you are." Yami stated.
"Same with me." Kaiba said.
"Alright then, pharaoh, priest, get ready to duel for your lives." Yami Marik said with a grin. Yami and Kaiba nodded and got their duel disks ready but this time there were no life points involved because this was a literal battle to the death. The only way you lose is if you die, and the only way you win is if your opponent dies. Either way someone's going to die.
"HA! You three mortals against me, a cross between of that of a demon and an angel, you three have no chance, you might as well give up now and die!" Negisa laughed maniacally. "But, if you insist, I'll battle you, this I can see, is going to be very amusing." Negisa smirked.
"You're right it is going to be amusing, but for us not you." Yami smiled an evil grin at her.
"I think I'll start with you." Negisa decided. "You have a soul that leans toward the angel side so I'm going to use my demonic sword to kill you." Negisa raises her sword, says a chant and it glows a sickly color of red and green mixed and then she blast down her power to Yami. Yami uses his Dark Magician to attack the force to stop it but alas it was too strong. The demonic blast destroyed the Dark Magician and sends Yami flying in the air. Yami lands on his back and has the wind knocked out of him, but he is still alive.
"You wench." Yami gasped for air.
"I'm surprised you actually lived after such a blow, I'm impressed." Negisa commented.
"I don't want your compliments." Yami stated, biting his lip from the pain in his chest. Yami tried to get up but he couldn't lift his body up so he just fell to ground again.
"Yami!" Yugi cried. Yugi ran up to Yami and bent down and helped Yami sit up. "Yami, are you ok?" Yugi asked worried.
"I'm fine Yugi you don't need to worry about me." Yami reassured.
"I absolutely need to worry! You just got blown away and you can't pick yourself up!" Yugi exclaimed.
"Aww, what a cute sight, who's you little friend Yami." Negisa said Yami's name with malice.
"None of you damn business; your only concern is between Kaiba, Yami Marik, and me." Yami said protectively.
Negisa looks at Yugi and smirks, "Ah, his soul has leaned very far on the angel side, but its weak, his soul is fragile because he lets anyone and everyone in his heart without a second thought and most of the people he has let in has either hurt him on purpose or just left leaving him all alone."
"How did you…" Yugi trailed off. Yami looked at his companion with concerned eyes 'Who would hurt Yugi? Yugi is kind and sweet, he would never harm a soul even if his life depended on it, so why would anyone want to hurt him?' Yami thought.
"Hey pharaoh, can you get up?" Yami Marik asked.
"Not right now no." Yami stated plainly.
"Well then I guess it me and the priest against her then." Yami Marik sighed.
"Your soul has leaned toward the demonic side but really your soul is confused as to what it wants to be. You are at heart a kind person but with the brain of a maniac your soul has decided to lean on that side damn." Negisa cussed.
"What?" Yami Marik asked.
"This means that you won't die if I blow you away with either my sword or my staff!" Negisa complained. Then she looked towards Kaiba and her eyes widened upon seeing his soul. "You…" she pointed at Kaiba. Everyone looked at Kaiba then Negisa then back at Kaiba with confused faces. "Your soul is the perfect soul of that of a demon!" she exclaimed in delight and then she laughed.
"What's so damn funny?" Kaiba asked in a stern tone.
"I just found it funny that I was able to find your soul so quickly. And since your soul is a perfect demon soul I can KILL you!" she screamed in pleasure of the thought that at least ONE of three can be easily killed off.
"And how are you going to kill me?" Kaiba inquired.
"With my angelic staff, of course!" Negisa smiled at him with the most sadistic smile he has ever seen. But Kaiba would not be fazed through that easily, sure her wicked smile unnerved him, but he wouldn't allow her the pleasure to see him show it.
"HA! I'd like to see you try, you WENCH!" Kaiba yelled furiously. She stared deviously at him, then took her staff and swirled it around in the air. Soon enough there was a pure white ball of energy right above the staff. Kaiba called his three blue-eyes white dragons to protect himself. Negisa anticipated this.
"First, I'll destroy those pathetic dragons of yours!" she swung her sword and slashed straight through the blue-eyes, destroying them, "Now, I'll kill you!" she swayed her staff toward Kaiba and the white blast shot down to Kaiba.
"What the..!" Kaiba started, but didn't get to finish because in the next second he was on the pavement, someone had pushed him down. Kaiba looked up and saw Joey in front of him with his arms out, and then before he could say a word, Joey was hit with the blast, causing a HUGE white wave of energy to swirl everywhere around Joey. Everyone was shocked, especially Kaiba. Joey saved Kaiba from being hit by Negisa's blast, Joey, he who thought that Joey hated, was saved by Joey.
"WHAT?" Negisa exclaimed angrily. "What the hell happened?" she looked in to the white light, "No," she said devastated. "it can't be." She looked again to be sure of herself and it was true. "Dammit, I not only didn't hit the demonic soul but I hit the angelic one instead!"
"What?" everyone said in unison.
"Your friend in there is the pure angelic soul, and I just hit him with the power of my staff." She grinned her teeth. She looked at the group and saw they had confused expressions so she continued to explain, "When I use my staff, I am using the power of an angel, meaning when I shoot at a someone demonic they get destroyed but if I use it on someone angelic then said person would increase their angelic abilities."
Yugi spoke first, "So, since Joey has an angelic soul, angelic powers will increase?"
"Exactly." She stated plainly. She then looked at her mistake and saw something else. "Well maybe I'm wrong; maybe I haven't increased your friend's powers." She smiled.
"What?" Yami questioned.
"I didn't use a lot of my staff's power so the effect on him should be minimal." She grinned evilly.
"So what exactly is going to happen to Joey?" Yugi asked in concern, "What would you count as minimal damage to someone?"
She smiled sweetly at him, "Well something physical will happen to him, not something to increase his abilities to any extent."
"What will he look like after this?" Bakura inquired.
"His body will mostly likely turn into a body worthy of an angel." She answered. Suddenly, all the power was absorbed by Joey's body and he fell limp to the ground. Everyone look at him, There didn't seem to be anything different about him, he still had his blonde mop of hair, tan skin, lean body, his school uniform still on, and he looked as if he were asleep. They looked up at her in dismay, "You idiots, the effects won't start right away, that would kill him. Now, that I can't take over your world I'm leaving to find a new one." She combined the powers of her sword and her staff and created a portal.
"Wait a minute what do you mean?" Ryou asked.
"I mean exactly what I said, I can't take over your world because now you have a true angel to protect you, I can't face a full-fledged angel, I'll lose." She explained and then she went inside the portal was never seen again.
"Well that went well." Yami Marik said sarcastically.
"It did compare to what could've happened." Yami said.
"You do have a point, pharaoh." He agreed. Then everyone looked at Joey on the ground.
"Um, guys what are we going to do about Joey?" Anzu intervened.
"We'll take him to my house and wait of him to wake up." Yugi said.
"Did any of you not hear what Negisa said?" Marik questioned angrily.
"Marik, sweetheart, calm down." Yami Marik said sweetly.
Marik took a deep breath to calm him down a bit before speaking again, "Negisa said that the effects of her power won't start right away, so we have no idea of when or what he's going to turn into.
"Actually we know that he'll have 'a body worthy of an angel' as Negisa said to us." Ryou intervened.
"Well yeah but what does that even mean?" He countered.
"I don't know, Marik." He said honestly.
Anzu was the one who figured it out. "Hey, everyone," she called. Everyone turned their attention to her. "I think I know what Joey is going to turn into."
"Really?" Ryou asked.
"Remember when Negisa first arrived here and told us about how in her world all the angels are girls and the demons are guys?" she questioned everyone. Eventually, they nodded in response. "Well, she also said that Joey will have the body worthy of an angel right?" everyone nodded again. "That's it! Joey is going to turn into a woman!" she exclaimed. Soon every pair of eyes shone with realization and looked at Joey with apologetic faces, even Kaiba felt badly for the blonde duelist. Kaiba then walked up to Joey and picked him up off the ground gently lifting him in his arms. Everyone just stared in amazement and shock, Kaiba hated Joey and yet, there he was lifting him off the ground and waked toward Yugi.
"Your house correct?" Kaiba questioned Yugi. Yugi then nodded, "Since, I don't remember the way to your house you're going to have to lead me there."
"Oh Ok." Yugi got up and Bakura helped Yami to his feet and everyone headed to Yugi's house. Once, there were there, Yugi showed Kaiba his room and told Kaiba to lay Joey on his bed. Kaiba did as he was told and he put Joey under the covers and tucked him in. Then both Yugi and Kaiba came down stairs. Yugi helped Bakura set Yami on the couch and Anzu got him a blanket. Then everything went silent. This was going to be a long night, and a very awkward one at that.
I hope you enjoyed the second chapter, please reveiw!
