AN: Bwahahahahahahaha! I actually had a pretty good clue, yes? Teehee! This whole Bronya thing is starting to wear off on me... kinda creepy... Anywhosits, I hate school computors they blocked fanfiction so it's not all my fault... NEW CHAPTER TIME!
"A tower of penguins can eat a lot of butterflies."
The group turned to look at the young billionaire, who sighed. "The clue. It's French. It says ' A tower of penguins can eat a lot of butterflies.'"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jonouchi shouted.
"Think about it, mutt!" Kaiba snapped, tired of having to do, in his opinion, all the thinking. "French. Tower..."
"The Eiffel tower," Sarina said before Jonouchi could come up with a retort.
"Amazing," The CEO grumbled before turning away and stalking over to the jet.
Mokuba over the injured looking girl, "Don't listen to him," He said, "He's just... Stressed."
"Aren't we all?" Yugi sighed before leading the rest of the pack towards their transportation.
Again, Yugi was amazed at how short the trip seemed to take. Before long they were at their destination. they stood with the crowd gawking (Except for Kaiba who NEVER gawked) up at the towering metal structure. "You really think the clue is up there?" Honda gulped.
"It would make sense, wouldn't it." Jonouchi responded as the pack squeezed into the already packed elevator and started their slow accent. When they reached the platform, they split up and scavenged for the clue. Nothing.
Again they searched, but they were ushered back into the elevator. Yugi sat down on the sidewalk, resting his chin in his hand. Jonouchi and Kaiba were furious, pacing back and forth ready to storm back up there and tear the tower apart to find it. "Do you think it could be farther up?"
"I hope not," Yugi sighed.
It won't be there, Atem's voice rang in his head.
What makes you think that?
She wants us to play her game, Atem said soothingly, She wants us to find that clue so she can have her fun. Don't worry, Yugi. We'll find it.
The pointy haired boy sighed, I hope so...
"Have our little friends given up so soon?" she gasped, looking at the screen before her.
Blubble, blub blub bloob.
"I agree, Larry. Did they forget all the information I so graciously gave them?" She shook her head sadly, "Maybe I won't get to duel..."
Blub bloop blop.
"What are we gonna do?" Jonouchi yelled, "we're running out of time!"
Yugi sighed again. They had come this far just to fail...
A deep chuckling started softly in the back of his mind. It grew louder and louder till Yugi couldn't stand it anymore. What's so funny? Yugi snapped at the ancient pharaoh,
Look. butterflies.
Yugi let his eyes drift to a bush directly across from him. Butterflies swarmed around it, blending together in an array of colors. What?
A tower of penguins... Atem prompted.
"Can eat a lot of butter flies!" Yugi shouted, jumping to his feet.
"Great," Honda said, rolling his eyes, "Yugi's lost it."
"The clue!" He pointed to the bush, 'Butterflies!"
Jonouchi understood immediately, rushing over to the bush and rummaging through the bush.
"Fetch," Mokuba heard his brother mutter under his breath and he hand to hold back the laughter.
Jonouchi reappeared victorious, Showing proudly the envelope with the familiar neat writing. He passed them out to his friends (and Kaiba) And they tore them open anxiously.
You've done it! You've reached the end of our little scavenger hunt! don't be too disappointed, dear, for now the real fun begins! go back to the hiding spot of the letters you now hold in your hand. Pull up on the branch with the one pink flower. My survent will be waiting to show you the way.
Until we meet,
Bronya
The four looked at each other. What if this was some sort of trap? What if the second they did as they were told the would be captured and they could do nothing to help their friends? Kaiba sighed, he was never one to just sit around and wait for others to make up their minds. This was the only chance of getting her back and he was going to take it no matter what the others thought. He walked confidently over to the bush and pulled the said branch.
Instantly the ground started shaking. Kaiba took a steep back to steady himself as a stairway appeared in the ground before them, leading into a dimly lit tunnel. A single man stood be fore them, just as the letter had said. "Come with me." He demanded. The group paused slightly before following him into whatever lay before them.
"I'm just so excited larry!" she shrieked as she lay side ways across her chair while fingering her fish's bowl, "Finally I'll get to met our little pawns."
Blubble bloop blop blop blu-
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Bronya whispered, "Shhhhhh, Larry! Their coming!"
The brightness of the new room scorched Yugi's eyes as the group emerged from the tunnel. As his eyes ajusted to the sudden brightness they focused on a figure, sprawled sideways across a chair. Then the figure, a woman, became more didtinct. She was young and small, aburn hair flowing down her back and green eyes shining. Yugi gasped in recognition. It couldn't be...
"Friends!" She spread her arms wide in welcome and Yugi could fell the group tense. "Welcome! And to think we meet at last!" She giggled, dipping her finger in the fish bowl beside her and twiling it around.
"We've done this long enough," Kaiba growled, " your little 'game' is over-"
"Over?" She said softly, turning herself to sit in the chair proporly. "Over!" She was shouting now, "oh, no. No where close to over! why, it's only the start" she laughed again, twirling as she did so.
"Where are our friends?" Yugi demanded.
"All in good time my pointly little friend, I gaurentee you they're fine." Bronya stopped suddenly, looking over at her fish bowl. She nodded a few times and turned back to them, "Larry's right. You must be exausted. You! Show them to their room..."
The same minion from before ushured them away, leaving only Bronya and her fishy companion. When the group was safely out of sight, she beconed another minnion to her "Lock the doors." she commanded, "We don't want anyone wandering around and ruining the fun now do we?"
Blubble, blubble, blubble.
