The first thing Ryou realized as he started to become aware of his surroundings was that he was feeling safe, warm, and completely at peace; he could hear a soft unearthly melody. He didn't want to get up because then he would have to face his Yami but sleep eluded him finally started to open his eyes. A woman with silver hair was singing softly well stoking his hair her eyes so pail blue that they only seem white "Mom?"
"No Ryou I am not your mother my name is Venatrix Mortes I am the Allspark. Our residential mad scientist was doing an experiment that accidently pulled you and your friends here from you home dimension. Your Friends went to the Kitchen to get something to eat I stayed behind so you could catch up on your sleep and I could take you to them after you woke up would you like to rest some more or would you like to head down to the kitchen to get something to eat with the rest of your friends."
"Can we get something to eat pleas I am rather hungry and I don't think I can sleep any more" Ryou asked weakly.
"Come on lets head for the Kitchen" Ryou tries to stand up but stumbled too weak to stand up on his own. "Hey are you all right?"
"I'm fine don't worry" he says as he fails to stand on his own.
"When was the last time you were able to have a decent meal or take proper care of yourself?"
"I don't remember"
"Come you can lean on me or I can carry you there if you don't want your friends to see that then I can carry you half way and you can walk in by yourself."
"Can I try walking first and if I can't make it you can carry me alright?"
Venatrix nods in agreement; Ryou tries to walk but fails to weak to do anything else Venatrix carries Ryou to the Kitchen bridle style. The gang was already settled in and eating the different foods that Venatrix had prepared for them and were talking to Epps and Lennox about NEST. Venatrix set Ryou down on one of the chairs and went to talk to Ratchet about Ryou's state of health and what they could do for him. Ryou helped himself to some homemade Pizza, a little chicken Lu Ming, and veggies "You should be getting some of that steak and don't eat those yucky green stuff" said Bakura out of nowhere. Ryou use to Bakura's strange habits just ignores him and starts to eat with a vigorous paste "I said get more dame meat you weakling."
'Bang' everyone was staring at Venatrix who was holding a frying pan and had hit nothing… Yugi, Yami, Ryou, Marik, and even Seto (though he won't admit it) gaped as they could see what the frying pan had made contact with… "Thief King Bakura of Kul Elna, you and I need to have a little talk about you treatment of your Hikari" said Venatrix through clenched teeth. She then grabs the Tomb Robbers ear and drags him out of the room leaving even more confused people behind. The others gape at her as she dragged a translucent human that appeared out of nowhere and at the fact that she could grab him.
Ratchet chuckled "Looks like the King of Thieves is being introduced to Venatrix's 'Frying pan of doom'; I wander what he did to tick her off enough to use it?"
Ryou not seeing Ratchet before freaked out a little "Ahh Giant Duel Monster!" screamed a startled Ryou (He lives with Bakura Not much can scare him any more).
"I am not a Duel Monster I am a Robotic organism from the planet Cybertron Chief Medic of the Autobot fraction" Ratchet sad with a small pout.
"I am sorry if I have offended you in some why but I did not know anything about you and was startled; my name is Ryou Bakura what is yours?"
'At least he didn't summon any monsters to attack me like brunet male did and he is polite' thought Ratchet. "My name it Ratchet mated to the twins Sunstreak and Sideswipe Parent to the twins Aibou and Amo but you can just call me Ratchet" he said with a small smile.
"A pleasure to meet you Ratchet; what did you mean earlier by frying pan of doom?"
"When Venatrix wants to get her point across to someone she uses they Frying pan to beat them in to submission." Seeing the wide eyed look on Ryou's face Ratchet goes to explain more "She doesn't really beat them it's just an expression that we use pretty much what she does is smack them on the head and then once they stop running talks to them. The frying pan is more for bruising the person's ego than actually hurting them in the long run, if she really wanted to hurt someone she would have gotten out her weapons."
That caught Tristan's attention "weapons?"
"Yes weapons she has so many that our weapon specialist Ironhide can't even name some of them or tell us what they do an when she is in her Femm form she has a pair of canons bigger than his." A loud 'Bang' made Ratchet flinch he knew what kind of damage that frying pan could do if she was in a bad mood his mates had been on the reserving end one to many times.
"Femm form?" asked Kaiba; Ratchet smiled and transformed into his alt-mode before answering.
"Venatrix is the Mother of all past and future Cybertronians Femm is the Female of our species her mechanical form is 15 feet her humanoid form is 4.11 feet and the reason she looks taller is because it is just an illusion she uses when she first meets someone to help put them more at easy when she does something that would be difficult for someone of her stature like picking up Ryou." Ratchet transformers again to smirk at the gaping humans.
Kaiba was the first to recover from the shock "Is there any way for me to learn about your technology?"
"Talk to Optimus Prime or Venatrix they are the ones that are responsible for our dealings with humans; although if they say its ok you might want to go talk shop with Hound he is our Holographic expert and he might tell you how to make holoforms they are a type of solid holographs." Kaiba looked like he had died and gone to heaven at that point. Yami was smirking at the thought of all the pain Bakura was reserving at Venatrix's mercy; and Ratchet finally turned his attention back to Ryou and did a scan on him to determine his overall health the results were not good. He didn't have any body fat, he was dehydrated, his body was showing signs of extreme abuse, and his body was lacking several important vitamins need to survive. Ratchet was in his holoforms in a second he removed several pills from sub-space and handed them to Ryou "take these and drink lots of liquid." He told Ryou in a no nonsense tone, startled by Ratchets sudden appearance he asked why. "It's ether the pills or I am hooking you up to an IV, you need to take better care of yourself your kidneys and liver are starting to shut down and you are fifty pounds under weight. I'm surprised that you can even sit up at your current condition, no wander Venatrix is upset if you continue as you are you will be dead in six months at most." The gang was shocked to hear this and started to ask Ryou so many questions that you really couldn't understand what was being asked.
"QUIET" shouted Venatrix as she entered into the kitchen; everyone went silent "I know that Bakura has a nasty habit of just eating meat and that is probably why he is having health problems now because he is basically eating like a wolf. Now that I have had a word with Bakura this will not happen again; when you leave Ryou will be in perfect health with Ratchet taking care of him. Ratchet is one of the top five Medics in this dimension if anyone can make your friend healthy it's him."
This calmed everyone down and they all went back to eating, "hey Venatrix where is Bakura?" asked Lennox in a fake innocent tone.
"He ran up a water pipe and is hiding from me on the roof before I could finish with him but I did manage to get the importance of a healthy diet across before he escaped. Now if everyone is done with their meal I have made dessert who here likes cream puffs?"
"Cream Puffs?" said Ryou in a happy tone as he perked up at the mention of his favored dessert.
"I have vanilla, chocolate, custard, and Peanut butter filled Cream Puffs along with chocolate sauce or powdered sugar to put on top of them." Everyone dived for the treats and well they ate Venatrix and the others talked Yami finally felt it was safe enough for Yugi to come out of his soul room and Venatrix went into mother hen mode filtering from Ryou, Yugi, Mokuba, and surprisingly Seto making shore they were settled. Well talking all the wile of what to do until they could find them a way home; it was finally decided that they would be treated as diplomats with unlimited access in exchange for a trade of knowledge and they would stay in Venatrix's gusset quarters well they stead there, not knowing the chaos that they were getting into.
