Here's chapter 11. Wow, two chapters in one day and we are getting close to the end. I do like how this is coming out. I know some of you might be hating on Tristan and Duke, but they're only following orders by the wrong guy. Anyway, I do not own YuGiOh, Aladin, or the songs I use in here. I'm doing this for fun. Enjoy!
Chapter 11
Gozaburo's Pan
However, the perfect time ended when two pairs of hands grabbed Yami by the front of his tunic, forcing on his feet and then throwing him to the ground, on his stomach as the palace guards bind and gag him. Struggling to free himself, Yami gasp when he saw two more guards had done the same to Bakura and Marik and are now keeping them from moving much. As Duke pin Skye to the ground when she changed back into a wolf to defend the three, Gozaburo appeared in their line of sight.
"I'm afraid you have worn out your welcome, Prince Sonan. We've caught your friends trying to court with the prince's friends. You three are not worthy for anyone in the palace."
"Why you, son of a bitch!" Bakura yells at him, attempting to get his dagger but the guards had bound him so hard he can't reach it.
Turning to head back inside, Gozaburo leaves the guards with his order, "Make sure they're never found."
Understanding his order, Tristan and Duke lead their men and the struggling friends to a steep cliff outside the city that overlooked the ocean. Pushing them over the edge, Tristan and Duke laugh as they and their men return to the palace. Breaking the surface of the ocean, Yami, Bakura and Marik struggle to free themselves as they plummet down to the ocean floor.
As they went deeper and farther down below the surface, Yami and his friends knew that their only chance of getting out is with Dartz help. But the genie is in the lamp and the lamp is hidden in Yami's cape. Seeing the lamp had floated out but is too heavy to float back to the surface, thank Ra, the three try to reach for it until they felt their lungs ache from lack of air.
Fortunately, when they were thrown off the cliff and into the ocean, the three were almost back to back. So as they lay still on the ocean floor, the lamp settled right in their hands. Feeling a rub on the lamp, Dartz appear, looking like he is just starting to take a bath. "Never fails. You just got in the bath and there is a rub at the lamp." Turning to see who had rubbed the Atlantean lamp, Dartz is shocked to see that someone had Yami, Bakura and Marik drown.
"Yams, Kura, Mar, guys, snap out of it!" Getting no response from either of the three made Dartz worried. "You can't cheat on this. I can't help unless you make a wish. You got to say that! Come on, you three!" Still no response. "I'll take that as a yes." Quickly scooping them and the lamp up, Dartz shoots right out of the ocean and back to the cliff.
Their bindings and gags gone and once they realized they were out of the water, Yami and his friends take a moment to cough out whatever water managed to get in their systems. With helpful pats on the back from Dartz, Yami faces the genie with a grateful smile as Bakura and Marik finally get the last of the water out. "Don't you guys scare me like that again."
With a nod from all three, Yami, Bakura and Marik surprise Dartz by hugging him, with Yami saying, "Thanks, Dartz."
"Oh, you guys. I'm getting kind of fond of you three." With Yami, Bakura and Marik hanging onto him, Dartz takes to the sky like an arrow, heading back to the palace. "I would have done mouth-to-mouth each, but I don't find you three that attractive."
"Duly noted. And no need." Yami replies as Bakura and Marik try to keep their chuckles under control.
Back at the palace, Yugi is humming the soft tune of the song he and Yami sang together as he sits on his bed. Once he had gotten back, Ryou and Malik had informed him that the two guards that are with Yami had spent some time with them while Yugi was gone with Yami, learning that they are shapeshifters as well and just had a wonderful time themselves. The three friends are just so happy they found someone special and Joey being happy for them.
"Yugi." the group hear a voice at the door and see Solomon standing in the doorway.
Smiling, Yugi approaches his grandfather, having some huge news to tell him. "Oh grandpa, I just the most wonderful time. I'm so happy." Yugi says with his hands to his racing heart that has yet to stop since he came back.
"You should be, Yugi. I have chosen a husband for you." Solomon says plainly.
Confused, Yugi asks, "What?" Something wasn't right as Ryou, Joey and Malik stood beside him, concerned of what the emperor is saying.
"You will wed Gozaburo." With that said, the other door is pushed open, revealing a grinning vizier.
This deeply shocked Yugi and his friends as Ryou wraps protective arms around Yugi while Joey and Malik hold their arms out in front of the prince. "You're speechless, my prince. A fine quality in a marriage partner." Gozaburo takes hold of Yugi's hand and brings it up.
Pulling his hand away, Yugi snaps at the man, "I'll never marry you." then he turns his attention to his grandfather as his friends keep Gozaburo away. "Grandpa, I've chosen Prince Yami."
"I'm afraid he left."
"Don't you dare tell him that lie, Gozaburo!" they hear Yami's voice and they all turn to see him, Bakura and Marik standing in the doorway of the balcony, very furious with the vizier.
"Yami!" Yugi exclaims as he, Ryou and Malik ran into the arms of their lovers as the older boys approach Gozaburo.
"Tell them the truth, Gozaburo. You almost had us killed." Marik demands as the three kept Gozaburo away from Yugi.
"What? Such ridiculous nonsense, Your Highness." Gozaburo puts up the act of royal vizier as he places his staff right by Solomon's eyes. "They are obviously lying."
"Obviously lying." Just like that, Solomon said what Gozaburo wanted him to say. But, just looking at the head of the staff, Yami and his friends could see there is magic that is controlling the emperor.
"Sire, what's wrong with you?" Malik says as the younger teens are worried of what is going through the elder's mind.
With a nod at each other, Yami says as Bakura snatches the staff and smash it on the hard floor, "We know what's wrong!" With the head destroyed, Solomon blinked a few times, confused of what had happened.
"Your Highness, Gozaburo's been control you with that staff." Marik said as Bakura showed him the useless staff.
To hear what Gozaburo has been doing this whole time, Solomon is as furious as a bull. "Gozaburo, you traitor!"
With everyone now turned against him, Gozaburo tries to sweet talk while Seto is freaking out. "Now Your Majesty, this can all be explained.
Not wanting to hear another word from him, Solomon yells, "Guards! Guards!"
Just then, Gozaburo notices the Atlantean lamp strapped to Prince Yami's waist. "Arrest Gozaburo at once." Solomon demands the two guards that have entered the room when Gozaburo is just about to reach for the lamp.
The two guards taking a firm hold of the ex-vizier, Gozaburo reaches for a vial full of explosives from his robes and yells before throwing the vial, "This is not over, boys!" The vial thrown onto the ground hard, it released a thick smoke, with everyone coughing and allowing Gozaburo and Seto to escape.
The smoke clear, Solomon sees that the ex-vizier had escaped. "Find him! Search everywhere!"
With his guards gone, searching for the man, Solomon is still in disbelief as Yami faces Yugi and says as he brings him into his arms, "Yugi, are you alright?"
"Yes." Yugi replies softly as they watch Bakura and Marik bring their own look-alike lovers into their protective arms and Joey, as a dog, goes with the guards to chase after Gozaburo.
"Oh, Gozaburo, my most trusted councilor, plotting against me this whole time. This is horrible, just horrible." Solomon rants on, but then stops when he finally noticed that Yugi is being held by Yami. To see them this happy, could only mean one thing. "Could this be true? My grandson has finally chosen a suitor?"
When Yugi simply gave him a nod of his head, Solomon could feel nothing more than pure joy. "Praise Ra!" Coming up to the couple, Solomon takes one of Yami's hands and shakes it so much that Yami felt it could fall of. The three could hear Bakura and Marik stifling a few chuckles with Ryou smacking Bakura on the cheek and Malik whacking Marik in the back of his head to get them to stop.
"I am so grateful to you, dear Prince Yami. Now, you two shall be married at once. And you'll be happy and prosperous," as Solomon rants on, Yugi lets his head rest on Yami's chest and his prince hold him close. "And then you, my boy, will become emperor."
"Emperor?"
"Oh yes. A fine upstanding youth such as yourself, one of your unimpeachable moral character is exactly what this kingdom needs."
"I would be honored, sire." Yami says with a smile to the emperor.
"Now then, all of you get some rest. I shall announce your engagement tomorrow at noon." With that Solomon left to make the preparations. However once he is gone out of the room, Yami turns his attention on his friends, who both gave him the 'we didn't think this through' look.
Back in their tower, Seto is freaking out as Gozaburo simply shuts the door behind him. "We got to get out of here. I'll start packing. Just travel light. Bring the guns, weapons, knives." As a human, Seto gets to work on packing, that is until he hears Gozaburo start to laugh like a maniac. "Oh boy. He's cracked, gone nuts."
Standing in front of his stepfather, Seto tries to get him to snap out of his behavior. "Stepfather, get a grip."
Grabbing him by the front of his shirt, Gozaburo let's Seto in on his realization. "Prince Yami is nothing more than that good for nothing urchin, Yami. He and his crew have the Atlantean lamp, Seto. And you are going to relieve them of it."
"What? Me?" Seto shakes his head in denial.
"No one else know what you look like as a human, so it's only fitting that you go get it without being discovered."
"Tch, fine." Seto agrees with the plan.
Edit: Hey my dear readers, you may notice that I have changed one of the lines from before. I had gotten a copy of the Diamond edition of Aladdin and I watched this extra content on the BlueRay disk called Genie Outtakes. There are so many good Outtakes on that extra that Robin Williams did for his character and many of them are hilarious. There's another outtake I plan on using in a later chapter because they are different from the movie lines and hopefully funnier. Peace out!
