Hello again!^^ How are you all?
Sarah: Starving for a new chapter, you dunce.
X( Hey, I wrote it, didn't I?
Sarah: Yeah? So?
Just do the disclaimer...
Sarah: YamiHeart doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yeah...this isn't exactly my favorite chapter...but I don't think it suck so...please enjoy.^^
POV: Sage
"And where do you think you're going?"
I stopped suddenly, causing DJ to ram into me and make me fall flat on my face for the second time that day. DJ just sat on me for a couple moments before rubbing her head and getting up.
"Any particular reason you just decided to stop, Sage?" DJ asked, irritated.
I got up and looked in the direction the voice was coming from and sighed. There, a Rare Hunter stood blocking the path I was taking to Pandora Steve's shop. But this wasn't just any rare hunter, NOOOOOOO. This was the one and only Odion stopping us.
DJ was about to ask her question again when she followed my gaze and saw Odion, too.
"Well…" She commented. "This is…inconvenient."
"Wielder of Obelisk! I challenge you to a duel!"
I guess I found out who I was going to duel.
"Obelisk? What's Obelisk?" DJ asked, looking at me.
I figured out what she was doing right away and played along. "Um…I think it's those stone pillar things the Egyptian's used…"
"Are you suggesting I have the wrong Sage Waldgrave?" Odion asked.
"I'm not suggesting anything. Are you DJ?"
"I don't believe I am. I just wanted to know what an Obelisk was, and now that I do I know for sure that I don't have one."
DJ and I continued asking stupid questions and trying not to laugh when Odion said, "Skylark seemed pretty confident in who you two were."
DJ and I instantly stopped. Skylark was the name of one of our friends, and if I was a fangirl of the Pharaoh, Skylark was a fangirl of Marik Ishtar. Skylark and I knew the irony of being great friends but being fangirls of enemies, but I don't think we ever thought we'd actually be on opposite sides of a fight; in Yu-Gi-Oh, nonetheless.
Me and DJ stopped too long (and I'm pretty sure both our mouths were wide open) and Odion knew he had the right Sage Waldgrave and that both DJ and I knew what Obelisk really was.
"So…are you ready to duel Miss Waldgrave?" Odion asked, knowing he had won.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up for a second. What about Skylark now?" DJ asked. I'm pretty sure my mouth was still wide open.
"If Sage defeats me, I will explain everything about your friend."
I finally closed my mouth and thought about when DJ was with Pegasus. I activated my dueldisk and Odion came closer. DJ grabbed my arm and yell/whispered "Do you not remember how many locator cards Odion gave Marik when they were getting ready for Joey and Yugi's duel?"
"Twelve, why?" I whispered back as Odion also activated his dueldisk.
"Do you also remember that you never saw the duels he got those twelve locator cards in?"
"So-oooooohhhhhh…" I finally got what DJ was getting at. She was suggesting I was going to be one of the unlucky, never-seen duelist who loses their locator cards to Odion.
I smirked and responded, "Don't be ridiculous DJ."
"How am I being ridiculous?"
"I only have one locator card."
"…So…?"
"There's no way he could get twelve from me." I stuck out my tongue playfully and DJ punched my arm.
"You know what I meant…"
Odion and I both drew six cards and I once again continued my conversation with DJ because Odion didn't look like he wanted to really have a nice talk with me.
"Hey DJ?"
"Yeah?"
"You remember where Pandora Steve's game shop is, right?"
"Yes…"
"Well, I'm a little busy so…can you go watch the Pharaoh's duel and tell me about it?"
POV: DJ
Was Sage kidding me? She was about to duel Marik's older brother and she wanted me to go watch and then later tell her about a duel she could probably recite in her sleep?
"Please DJ? PLEEEEEEASE?" Sage pleaded. She was supposed to be dueling but instead she was paying attention to me!
"Aurgh! Will you pay attention and try to win the duel if I do this for you?" I looked over to see Odion had placed two cards face down and Sage was still looking at me.
"I Promise."
"Then pay attention NOW!" I yelled as I tried to run in the direction Sage had been going.
Sage quickly grabbed my shoulder, pulled my ear next to her mouth and whispered, "If there's a creepy voice that starts talking in your head and telling you that it's going to mess with the plot in some way, either come to me or stop the plot from being crashed."
I gave Sage a questioning look and she smiled at me. I shrugged and continued to run towards Pandora Steve's game shop, wondering if Sage had finally gone off the deep end. Creepy voices in her head? Not exactly the norm…well in other worlds. I guess in Yu-Gi-Oh that isn't too abnormal but…
I shook my head and tried to focus on what Sage had asked me to do and then got angry! Sage had tricked me! Tricked me into going to see a duel she probably knew by heart! Or had she…?
Quick POV: Sage
I totally tricked DJ into going to see a duel I knew by heart. I was simply multitasking while I fought Odion and I really didn't want to miss the Pharaoh's duel with Pandora Steve.
POV: Back to DJ
I shook my head. "Sage would never do that!" I tried to convince myself.
Luckily, I didn't have any more time to think about the subject as I approached the shop Pandora Steve's duel versus the Pharaoh was taking place. I walked in (the door was unlocked) and saw that the whole place was dark. I saw some stairs and walked down them, confident that that was where the duel was.
I eventually came to an open door and peered into it. Inside, the Pharaoh's back was facing me while I saw Pandora Steve start to shuffle some cards. I was surprised to see that I had come just in time and pulled out my flip video camera that I was going to use to tape Sage's duels, but was instead using to tape the Pharaoh's.
"*SIGH* Sage owes me big time for doing this…"
Pov: Sage (I KNOW! So many pov changes!)
Odion's life points slowly dwindled to 0 as Gemini Elf attacked his life points directly. I casually walked over to the Egyptian man, who was now on his knees and mumbling for "Master Marik" to forgive him.
"What are you doing? Get up." I said as I outstretched my hand to the brother of Marik. Odion hit it away. "Okay, that's just rude."
"Marik will not be pleased to know that I lost." Odion said.
"Wait, he doesn't know already that you lost?"
"What?"
"Well…if he doesn't know right now, why would he ever need to know? You could still get 12 locator cards without him knowing you lost."
Odion starred at me as he seemed to think about my suggestion. "But…"
"Look, you wouldn't even have to lie to him. Just never bring it up. And if he does ask if you found the wielder of Obelisk, say I was, like, with the pharaoh or something and you didn't want to blow your cover."
"But then I would be lying." Odion pointed out.
"Look! Do you want Marik to not be upset at you or not?"
Odion put his head down before responding. "Not. I'm sorry."
I sighed. I knew Odion was a horrible bad guy, but didn't Marik at least teach him not to say sorry? "It's fine. How many locator cards do you have?"
"Six." HOLY SHIT! Battle city had only been going for not even an hour! I think I needed to stall Odion for a bit.
"Give me five of them and I won't mention our meeting to anyone, and I'll even get my friend to shut up about seeing you. I have a feeling Marik trusts you enough that he hasn't been watching any of your duels so he doesn't know how many locator cards you have, correct?"
Odion nodded and, apparently feeling that my deal was fair, handed over five locator cards. He then got up and turned to walk away. The lasts words he said before completely disappearing were, "Thank you."
I shook my head. "Marik really needs to work on Odion's evil."
I then walked towards Pandora Steve's duel, my whole reason for even coming this way and eventually saw DJ talking with Yugi outside the shop Pandora Steve owned.
"Hey guys!" I yelled as I ran up to them.
"Hey Sage. Did you beat O-" I quickly covered DJ's mouth before she could say Odion's name. Yugi gave us a questioning laugh, and I laughed nervously as DJ tried to bite my hand off of her.
"I was dueling this guy named…uh…O…POSSUM! Opossum was his name. And, yes, I beat him." I said with a big smile.
"That's great Sage!" Yugi beamed. I wasn't sure if he believed me or not but, damn, was he cute!
"Well, DJ and I don't want to bother you any longer so we'll just be leaving. See you at the finals!" I quickly ran away with DJ before Yugi could say something like "You're not bothering me" and didn't stop until I got to Burger World.
DJ finally succeeded in ripping my hand away from her mouth and shouted, "Why the hell did you lie to Yugi?"
"I promised Odion I wouldn't tell anyone of our duel as long as he gave me five locator cards."
"Wait, you weren't kidding? You beat Odion and got five locator cards?"
"Yeah. Odion is fast at getting cards."
"Dang. Well, what did you find out about Skylark?"
"Hm?"
DJ glared at me. "You forgot to ask him, didn't you?"
A little thunder cloud formed over my head and rained on me. DJ sighed and told me I was a forgetful idiot.
Heh, heh. Poor Sage...
Sarah: Sage is a forgetful idiot.
That's mean!
Sarah: Is the truth mean?
It...it can be.
Sarah: Well Too. Flipping. Bad. -_-
