Chapter Six: Visible to Invisibles

Joey, Tristan, Téa, Bakura, and Kaiba were standing at the entrance to the abandoned warehouse. Spencer was hovering a few feet off the ground in front of them, his eyes shut and his head facing towards the sky. His entire outline had a golden glow to it.

"Spencer, what in the world are you doing?" Kaiba asked, staring up at him.

Spencer opened his eyes and looked back over his shoulder at Kaiba. "I'm trying to sense out where little Kira and the guy who took her have gone to," Spencer replied. "Since this guy apparently isn't from our world, as proven by the fact that he'd need to kidnap her in order to get to it, I'm simply trying to sense out one little magical creature and one guy with some sort of special power. Now por favor be quiet; I need to focus." He shut his eyes again and looked back up at the sky.

"Did Yugi say why exactly he wasn't responding to Spencer's telepathy?" Tristan asked Joey.

"No, he just said he was 'busy wit someting'," Joey replied.

"Weird…even you woke up when he sent a message out to you."

"Whaddya mean, even me?" Joey asked.

"Are you kidding? If a bomb went off in your building, you'd just continue sleeping and muttering something about fighting against that whole bunch of monkeys who want steal your banana cake in that one dream."

"DAT'S IT! YOU'RE NOT SLEEPIN' OVER AT MY HOUSE ANYMORE!" Joey turned to charge at him-

-when suddenly he felt a pair of hands push him on his chest and hold him back from reaching Tristan. "Huh?"

He looked down and saw to his surprise that on his shirt was the imprint of two small hands right where he felt the pushing sensation.

"Guys?" Joey asked, staring down in horror. "Why's dere someting pushing me when dere's notin' dere?"

Everyone gazed down at the hand imprints. Finally, Téa screamed out in horror, "GHOST!" and jumped as far away from Joey as she could.

"No, no, Téa!" a familiar voice suddenly cried. "It's not a ghost, it's me!"

Everyone stared at what they thought was an empty spot in front of Joey. "Yug?" Joey said.

He felt the two hands get off of his chest. "I'm sorry, guys," Yugi's voice said, "I didn't mean to scare you."

Joey slowly reached out in front of him. He jumped back a little as he touched what felt like hair in an empty space. "Yug, man, what happened ta you?" Joey asked.

"Well, I told you I was busy with something," Yugi replied. "I met up with this strange person who called himself the Invisible Man. Apparently the gods had sent him to give me the special ability that he had, and when I woke up…I was like this."

"But, uh, you can make yourself uninvisible-can't you?" Joey asked.

"I think I can…" Yugi's voice paused. "I just came over here so fast that I haven't had a chance to do so yet."

Suddenly Spencer opened his eyes and cried out, "A-HA!" He looked back towards the six defenders. "I've got both of them sensed out; follow me, guys."

The six visible heroes soared up into the air; before they left, however, Joey looked around and asked, "Ya here wit us still, Yug?"

He suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. "Yes, I'm here," Yugi's voice replied. "Let's go."

The seven heroes soared up into the sky and off towards downtown Domino.


"Lemme go!" Kira cried out, desperately trying to break free from Meimei's grasp. Meimei was dragging her down the street of Domino's shopping district, looking for a sufficient place where he and the girl could hide.

"Shut up!" Meimei yelled down at the crying girl. "Quit worrying, kid, I'll let you go." He smiled evilly. "Once your mom gives me access to your world, that is."

Suddenly, seven teenage kids floated down to the ground only a few feet ahead of Meimei and Kira. Meimei quickly covered Kira's mouth with his hand and whispered to her, "Make one sound and you're dead."


The visible heroes looked around the street. "Spencer, dere's nobody here!" Joey cried out.

Spencer shook his head. "No, the baka's here, all right, and he's got little Kira with him."

"Excuse me, Spencer, but in case you haven't noticed-there's nobody out here," Kaiba said.

Yugi's disembodied voice spoke. "Yes there is!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his voice. "Yugi, where?" Téa asked.

There was a pause. Yugi then replied: "He's right in front of us! Can't you see him?"

The visible six stared ahead of them. All they could see was an empty street.


Meimei stared in horror at the one rather short, tri-colored hair kid who was pointing directly at him. Impossible! he thought. How can that one kid see me?

The other, taller tri-colored hair teen suddenly grinned. "Wait a minute-I think I know what's going on…" Spencer called out in Meimei's direction, "Hey, bro! You can make yourself and whatever else you please invisible, can't you?"

Meimei was so startled that his grasp on Kira weakened. Kira saw her opportunity; she slipped out from underneath his arms and dashed towards the seven teens.


The six visible teens were startled to see a little girl in pink PJs suddenly appear in front of them. Spencer scooped her up in his arms and asked, "You're Kira, right?"

Kira nodded. "Meimei was going to take me away and keep me until mommy let him into our world."

"We know, hon. Don't worry, he won't be able to take you now."

"Spencer, how'd you know dat he could make stuff invisible?" Joey asked.

"Simple," he replied. "Yugi can see him, the rest of us can't. And a person who can make him or herself invisible will always be able to see those who can also make themselves invisible."


Yugi watched as Meimei snarled angrily at the seven teens. "Ya think you're so great for bein' able to see me, right, kid?" he said. "Well, then, let's see how great you are at protecting your little friends."

Meimei held his out to his sides. Spheres of invisible force fields suddenly appeared all around him. He flung his arms out in front of him, and the force fields went flying towards the teens.

"EVERYONE, DUCK!" Yugi screamed out, crouching down onto the ground.

The six visible heroes crouched down onto the ground. The next thing they knew, circular craters had formed in the road behind them, as though some unseen force had smashed into the ground.

The six stared behind them. "What the heck was that?" Tristan asked.

"I'm guessing those were invisible force fields," Spencer replied. "That power and invisibility have been matched up together for eons."


The Millennium Puzzle glowed with golden light, and the Pharaoh took over for Yugi. He stood up and faced the man called Meimei directly.

Meimei smiled. "Well, bro, that was pretty pathetic. Better try again." He rose up his hands once more, and invisible force fields completely surrounded the seven teens.

"INCOMING!" he yelled, and he flung the force fields towards the teens.

The Pharaoh raised his hands as well, and a force field sprung up around the seven teens and the little girl. Meimei's force fields bounced harmlessly off of the Pharaoh's and fell down onto the ground, forming more craters in the road.

Meimei stared at the other force field in horror. "Don't tell me you can do that too!" he screamed out.

The Pharaoh smiled. "Actually, I can do much more." He pointed his hand out at Meimei and sent a beam of blue magic out at him.

Meimei flung his hands out in front of him and formed a force field wall which absorbed the magic. The Pharaoh simply continued flinging beam after beam at him which the force field simply kept absorbing and absorbing.

Finally, the Pharaoh called out to Meimei, "You realize that if you wish to defeat me, you're going to have to do more than simply hide behind that wall."

Meimei smiled sweetly. "You're right, man. Let me free up my hands."

The force field slowly started curving itself down into an orb which completely surrounded Meimei. It then shrank itself down until it was covering up Meimei from head to toe, save for the very palms of his hands.

"There, now. I think that should be much better," Meimei said, putting his hands down, "don't you?"

"Most definitely," the Pharaoh smiled. He sent out another long, continuous beam of magic at the Meimei. Once more, the force field harmlessly started absorbing it, glowing with a soft, blue light as it did so.

"Hah! Your efforts are futile, you poor, pathetic excuse of a hero!" Meimei yelled out.

"I beg to differ," the Pharaoh said. He winced his eyes shut, appearing to focus on something. He murmured to himself, "Let me be visible, let me be visible…"

The six visible teens suddenly jumped back. Then Joey said, "Yug! Nice ta see ya again!"

"And look," Spencer said, gazing at the end of the glowing beam, "you brought a nice little gift with you."

"Hi, Meimei," Kira said, waving towards the end of the beam.

With a jolt, Meimei realized that if the kid was visible, then his magic was visible as well, which meant that the blue glow that was surrounding Meimei's force field was visible-and so was he.

Meimei tried to take his force field down, but before he could do so, Spencer flung a hand out at him and sent out a long, golden rope of magic which wrapped itself around Meimei's waist and yanked him all the way back towards the teens.

Spencer grabbed Meimei by his arm and pulled it behind his back. "Well, Mr. Meimei," he said, "I've got some good news and bad news for you. The good news is: you get to come to Kira's world after all! The bad news is: you're only going to be able to see the jail part of it once you're tried and convicted for usage of special abilities in a criminal manner."
