A/N: I wonder what games the duelists will play?
Chapter 4
"This is how the games will go," Setoni started.
"Games, what games?" Vittoria yelled back.
"Why, the games that you will play to save the boys."
"Figures, we would have to do something like this," Tristan remarked.
Setoni ignored the remark and went on, "Each of you will get on an elevator and go to a different floor. Once there, you will play a game in order to get to the main floor of the tower. The games will be solo with no mind links allowed. Also, your Millennium Items are useless inside of Shadow Tower."
They were then lead via conveyor belt to elevators leading to where the games would be played.
Bakura was the first to step off of his lift. He entered a room with a spotlighted stage featuring a karaoke machine hooked up to a huge television screen.
"What in the bloody hell? Did they get me mixed up with Marik or Vittoria? They obviously know that I do not sing," Bakura grumbled.
"Obviously, you will have to if you want to save Ripley," Setoni said over a PA.
"Fine, what kind of music is it?"
"Since I just love torturing people, I have decided to have you sing 80's music. The song will be 'The Power of Love' by Huey Lewis & The News."
"I'm not going to survive this, am I?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
So he started to sing.
"The power of love is a curious thing Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
more than a feeling that's the power of love
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
make a bad one good make a wrong one right
power of love that keeps you home at night
You don't need money, don't take fame First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
that's the power makes the world go'round
And it don't take money, don't take fame They say that all in love is fair
don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden it can be cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
when it gets hold of you
and with a little help from above
you feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
Can you feel it?
Hmmm
It don't take money and it don't take fame
don't need no
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
you won't feel nothin' till you feel
you feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
feel the power of love to ride this train"
"There I did it, now may I have my son back?"
"You'll have to come and get him."
Marik was the next off the elevators.
He stepped out into a Duel Arena wondering who his opponent would be. Suddenly, a door opened on the other side of the room.
"Malik, where are Izzy and Ripley?"
"You will find out only if you beat me in a duel."
A table appeared holding a duel disk. Marik grabbed the duel disk.
"Fine. Let's get this over with then."
Joey stepped straight off the elevator and right into the middle of a colorfully lit maze.
"Just great. I have ta find my way outta this ting and deal with the lights at the same time."
Since the lights were blinking and changing colors at random, he had no way of knowing which way to go.
"I'll probably never get through this by midnight. We may as well kiss the kids goodbye."
Vittoria saw an empty room in front of her as she got off the elevator.
"What is the meaning of this? Am I to be stuck here forever?"
The door on the other side of the room opened as a duel disk appeared on a table beside her.
"Setoni, what have you done with the kids? I demand to know right now. I am your mother after all."
"Beat me in a duel and you shall find out."
"You're on!" She said as she slipped on the duel disk.
The first thing that Yugi noticed as he stepped off of the elevator was that the room in front of him was more vertical than horizontal.
"It seems that they know that my height is my weakness. I guess that I have to climb my way out of this one."
He walked over to the ladder that was embedded in the wall.
"I'll have to jump just to reach the first rung."
He got to the first rung only to find out that there was no way he could reach the second one.
Tea got off of the elevator thinking that she had it easy. She was in an empty, yet dark room. The room looked like an abandoned duel arena.
"I guess I just cross the room, and I am home free."
Suddenly, somebody appeared on the other side of the room just as a duel disk appeared on a table beside her.
"I suppose that whomever that is wants to duel me," she said as she slipped the duel disk on.
Yami got off of the lift only to find himself in the middle of the set of a quiz show.
"Time is definitely not your friend in this game, Pharaoh."
There was a screen full of different catagories and scores. The catagories were definitely not ones that he knew.
"The only way to win this is for me to remember what I learned with Yugi."
Ishizu left the elevator to find herself in a replica of the Pharaoh's throne room.
"Wow, the detail here is amazing."
Suddenly, someone walked in from the other side of the room.
"Let's duel!" the person said as a duel disk appeared on a table beside Ishizu.
Tristan saw what looked like a school gymnasium in from of him as he got off of his elevator.
"I guess I have to beat somebody at dodge ball to make it out of here."
"Try again. More like you will be dueling your way out," somebody said from the other side of the room.
A duel disk appeared on a table beside Tristan.
"You're on!"
A/N: I wonder how these games will play out? Wasn't Setoni and Vittoria's relationship a pretty good plot twist?
