Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series Interactive Story Chapter 3
"You're sending us into a fight?" Kaiba questioned. "If so Mokuba isn't coming."
Deirdre rolled her eyes. "The weapons are precautionary. Just in case Serena can't make a deal with them. As for Mokuba… I'm not sure. Serena?"
Serena turned and looked at where Mokuba was, "I don't know to be honest. I've come to realize that I probably shouldn't have brought him. Deirdre I'm putting you in charge of helping Kaiba look over Mokuba, ok?"
"Got it!" Deirdre grinned. "I won't let anything hurt Mokuba."
"I'm not going to fight. I might hurt my sweet body." Duke said, refusing to a sword.
Lilliana glared. "You either take the sword or I'll use you as a human shield when we get to the half-breeds!" Duke's eyes got wide and he quickly took the sword and gripped it tightly. "Good boy."
"I finally get to kill people again. Murder is fun." Melvin laughed.
Serena sighed, "Melvin you aren't allowed to kill people unless I say it's okay."
"Aaaw!" He groaned frowning. "What if I don't get to kill them?!"
"Then I will bring in some criminals from my home and you can kill them. Deal?" Serena asked.
He grinned sadistically and nodded. "Ok!"
"She's good," Marik whispered to Bakura, who nodded in agreement.
The hostesses each hooked swords and hooked them onto their belts. After almost being prepared, Ryou walked over to Serena and tapped her shoulder. "Serena?"
All the hostesses turned to look. Serena grinned. "Yes Ryou?"
"I… I don't really want to have this," he said holding out the sword nervously.
She looked at it for a second and lifted her head to look at Ryou. "I understand, but please, please just keep it Ryou. I don't want anyone to be without protection. We even gave Tristan one. Tristan of all people!"
"This makes me feel like a knight!" Tristan shouted and dropped sword on his foot; he began jumping and yelling in pain.
Serena face-palmed. "Scratch that. Nadia take the sword from Tristan." Nadia rolled her eyes and yanked the sword from Tristan's hands. Serena looked back at Ryou. "Please Ryou?"
He sighed and nodded, hooking it on his belt like Deirdre showed him.
"What made you think it was a good idea to give Tristan sharp objects in the first place?" Yami questioned.
The hostesses looked and one another and shrugged. "Let's get going!" Deirdre cheered. "I'm really bored."
"So because you are bored, you want us to go into a dangerous forest full of those half-breed freaks?" Kaiba asked frowning.
"Pretty much, Seto!" Deirdre laughed.
"Stop calling me Seto!"
"Never!"
"Shut up!" Lilliana yelled. "Are we going or not?"
Serena nodded and turned to the cast. "Now listen closely. When we get there I don't want anyone taking out there weapons." She looked over at Bakura and Melvin. "Understand?" Both of them sighed. "I'll take care of the negotiation along with my hostesses. Stay close to one another and don't wonder!"
Everyone nodded and followed behind as the hostesses turned to walk into the forest. Around them the trees shook and the sounds of monkeys and boa constrictors could be heard. It was getting close to sunset and it seemed to put some of them on edge. Every so often, when something would move on the ground, you could here surprised yelps and muffled curses.
The hostesses kept a guard on the cast as secretly as possible. Nadia and Lilliana stood on the sides of the group while Serena and Deirdre walked in front in between several people. After several minutes of walking (and occasional tripping) Mokuba spotted a group of different fires burning ahead.
"Big brother, what's that?" Mokuba asked, pointing at the fires.
"Fire!" Nadia cheered before Kaiba could answer. "We found them. Come on."
As they ran forward and came out from the clearing of the trees, everyone gasped. A huge gathering of half-breeds stood staring and smirking and laughing at where they stood. There had to be over a hundred of them. There were tigers, and monkeys, butterflies, leopards, parrots, and many more. In front of the hostesses and higher towards the trees, Yugi and Joey were dangling, tied up by dozens of vines.
Serena swallowed once and took a few steps forward to be in front of her own group. "I demand conversation with whomever is in charge!"
Slowly, one by one, each half-breed began to get quiet and no one stepped forward to claim the position for a few seconds. Eventually, a figure began climbing skillfully down the side of a shorter tree. A girl with orange and black hair began stalking towards them, a small shine in her brown eyes. She had tiger ears and a long tail that flicked behind her as she walked.
She stopped two feet short of Serena and gestured to herself. "You requested me?"
"Yes. I believe you taken friends of ours? Am I correct?" Serena questioned, folding her arms across her chest.
"Half correct." The Tiger agreed.
"Half correct?" Deirdre asked surprised. "What's that mean?"
She rolled her eyes and smirked. "It means that yes, we do have your friends. However, it was not myself nor anyone else that lives on this island that brought them to us."
"You expect us to believe that?!" Mai yelled from the group. Lilliana rushed over to her and clapped a hand over her mouth, hissing something in her ear.
The Tiger looked at Serena, "Your friend. She irritates me. Now, as to not be rude, what is your name?"
"My name is Serena. And yourself?"
Shock crossed over the feline face. "Serena? You share a name with a princess that we have been told of."
Serena sighed and bowed her head slightly. "I am the very same. It's a pleasure to meet you. These are my friends. Nadia, Deirdre, and Lilliana."
"So many famous names. You are quiet popular princess." She bowed, smirking lightly. "My name is Amana."
"Well, Amana, explain to me what you meant when you said no one from this island is responsible for the kidnapping of my friends."
Amana simply shrugged. "I mean exactly what was said. The boy who took them, he is an outsider. He simply came to this island and befriended a toucan friend of mine. He arrived hours before your lot."
"And you just accept him in so quickly?" Nadia questioned.
"We're very accepting of our own kind, Nadia. It's not everyday we get outsiders of our own kind here so naturally we were interested." Amana chuckled.
There was a pause as Serena considered what she said. Suddenly, she began searching around the small clearing of grass and up in the tree for a figure that looked like it did not belong. She only stopped when Amana began to laugh more.
Amana coughed when she noticed everyone watching her. "Pardon my laughter, Serena, but you won't find him looking around like that. He's purposely keeping himself hidden for now."
Deirdre frowned and walked up to take a place by Serena. "If this boy was confident enough to take them," she pointed to Yugi and Joey, whom were still unconscious and hanging from the vines. "Why does he want to hide from us?"
"He wishes to see what it is you have come to request of us, Deirdre. Do not think little of him. I'm sure you won't once you meet." Amana snickered.
Deirdre frowned and Serena shook her head. "I do not doubt anything. What I have come to offer is a peace agreement and some sort of trade for our friends."
"Interesting," Amana nodded. "Very well. I will hear you out, princess."
"Please don't call me that." Serena sighed. "I don't want any harm to come to my friends and I do not want to have to harm any resident of this island. What I would like to know is why this outsider decided to take those two of all people. I don't understand what it is you have against us, but I would like to understand if you will tell me."
Amana stopped for a minute looking between Yugi and Joey, and then all the way back to the rest of the cast. She took in the ridiculous glares of Yugi and Joey's friends and the bored looks of those who didn't care what happened. Bakura and Melvin looked about ready to fall asleep. "Well," she started. "You must know that half-breeds aren't usually to fond of humans so we attempt to stay away from you. It was not… pleasing when you intruded on our island."
"But it was an accident! It's not like we meant too!" Nadia argued. "That still doesn't give you the right to kidnap people."
"True," Amana said. "But that kid kind of looks like a baby panda." She pointed at Yugi. "And the blond could be a dog…" She looked back at Joey.
"We know," The hostesses agreed.
"Anyhow," the tiger continued. "This deal of yours, Serena, I assume it doesn't mean I can take that little cutie with the black hair," she pointed to Mokuba. "Or the cute shy one with the white hair," the gestured at Ryou this time. "Am I right?"
Serena nodded and watched Deirdre run back and wrap her arms around Mokuba protectively. "You are. Ryou is adorable as well as Mokuba. This is not a trade like that. You will not be having any of my other friends."
"Not even the blond?" She pressed looking at Marik. She saw Bakura's glare and turned back to Serena. "Guess not. His boyfriend does seem to like that thought."
Marik poked Bakura. "Who's she talking about Bakura? There are a lot of blonds here."
"Nothing Marik." Bakura smirked.
Amana giggled. "As you were saying?"
"Yes. Now I'll do my best to make a deal with you, but you can't have them. Understand?" Serena asked holding a hand out.
Amana shoot her head. "No shaking until the final deal princess. You know that. However I think it's only fair that the deal is made with the "kidnapper" present." She tilted her head back roared loudly. For a few minutes nothing happened and she noticed the hostesses getting skeptical. "Calm ladies. This, so I've heard, will be a pleasant surprise for Deirdre and Serena."
"Why us?" Deirdre asked, but Amana ignored her.
The leaves above began to rustle and fall. Smirks spread across many faces of the half-breeds and the cast and hostesses began looking at one another, confused. Suddenly, a familiar sound of flapping wings began to echo around. From the trees, out came a boy without a shirt, showing a long scar on his chest and making room for the large, tan wings coming out from his back. His eyes were black and his hair a dark brown with tan colored edges and he wore black jeans that looked to have been slightly destroyed.
Deirdre gasped and tugged on Serena's arm. "Serena, that's-"
"I know." She whispered back, grinning.
The boy flew down and landed beside Amana. "Serena. Deirdre. It's good to see you again!"
The two girls laughed and wrapped their arms around him. "Weet!" They laughed. "Why didn't you come to say hi sooner?"
"Because you brought them." He looked behind the girls at Melvin and Marik. "I… I was worried I guess."
Marik and Melvin exchanged a confused look and Marik yelled towards them, "why us? I mean I know Melvin is a psycho, but Serena said he isn't allowed to hurt anyone!" The remark was followed by a smack and a loud 'ouch.'
Serena rolled her eyes, "I love you Marik, but you disserved that."
Deirdre laughed and pat Weet on the arm. "You shouldn't have been nervous, Weet. If anything they're going to be thrilled that you can actually talk and do more now!"
"Well I hate to break up this "reunion," but can the rest of us please know what's going on!" Bakura growled.
"So impatient, fluffy!" Deirdre sighed. "Serena, if you will."
"Sure," Serena turned around and grabbed Weet's wrist and dragged him over to the group. Deirdre took a spot by Kaiba and Mokuba. "Everyone, this is Weet. Or as you have all heard him better called, but Deirdre and I refuse to call him, Mr. Tweetums."
The cast gasped and Weet sighed. "Hey."
"But I thought he was suppose to be some tiny bird!" Yami objected.
"Is he batman?" Tristan asked. Weet turned and looked at Serena confused.
She shook her head. "Ignore Tristan. Also, Yami, he was a small bird, but Deirdre and I changed that a bit."
"A bit?" Lilliana pressed.
"Ok a lot." Deirdre laughed. "It wasn't that hard either!"
Marik was still standing in his spot in shock, "b-b-but how?!"
Serena rolled her eyes. "I was getting to that! So anyways, a while ago when Deirdre and I were hanging out Weet accidentally smacked into my window and broke his wing. So of course we brought him inside to help heal him, but he was so small it made it really hard."
"So I had the idea to turn him into a half-breed!" Deirdre said proudly.
"It seemed like a fun way to spend the day so I agreed. At the time we actually had no idea that Weet was anything but an ordinary bird." Serena admitted. "So when he did end up like this, he introduced himself to us. That's actually what gave us the idea to kidnap all of you!"
Weet turned his head and avoided eye contact, laughing nervously. "Whoops."
An awkward silence filled the whole forest. Everyone avoided eye contact with one another. You could see the uncomfortable looks on every ones faces.
Suddenly, everyone heard a surprised gasp from Weet and looked over to see Marik happily hugging him. "Cool~! Now, Mr. Tw- I mean Weet can actually help me destroy the Pharaoh!"
"I'm right here!" Yami shouted back.
"No one cares," Bakura smirked.
Amana growled behind them. The hostesses and Weet turned back to look at her. "You," she snarled pointing to Weet. "You lied to me. You lied to all of us." She napped and the bird half-breeds brought Yugi and Joey down to them. "Take your friends, Princess. But you are not getting off this island home free."
Nadia frowned. "What does that mean?"
"I don't like being lied too Weet. Serena, prepare yourselves because you have just gotten into deep trouble." Amana turned around and ran into the trees, the other half-breeds following after.
Lilliana walked up to Serena and tapped her shoulder. "What happened?"
Serena swallowed and turned around to the cast, "I do believe…. a war with the half-breeds has been declared."
The cast looked at her shocked, the other hostesses frowning.
Yugi yawned and opened his eyes, rubbing his head. He gasped and grabbed the top of his head. "Why do I have bear ears?!"
"Told you he was a panda." Deirdre giggled.
Moon: *pouting* I should have ended that better.
Aden: Cool it, love.
Moon: *jumps up* I start school tomorrow. Wanted to post a chapter. I do hope you enjoyed it and Amana's anger will be explained better later.
Aden: *smiles* Review and Moon just might let you make requests for the characters to do things. *winks*
Moon: *rolls eyes* You're not coming back next chapter. *waves* Don't hate me for taking forever! *throws cookies*
