Chapter 11: Keys and Tempers

On the train, Takuya was looking out the window, sensing something was wrong. Meanwhile, Tyranno was lifting up a chair with each arm.

Tyranno: MAN! Dark Magician Girl's magic has been REALLY good to me!

Joey: Alright, we get it.

Tyranno put the chairs down and shot back at Joey.


Tyranno: Hey, I gotta practice usin' my muscles.

Joey: Well, could you do it somewhere else?

Tyranno: This is a small train. What'd you expect?

During all this time, Takuya was growing more and more irritated until he couldn't hold it anymore. He wheeled around with a fury that the rest of the group had never seen before.

Takuya: Knock it off, will ya?!

Tyranno turned his attention away from Joey and gave Takuya a similar look that the fire card wielder had on.

Tyranno: DON'T take that tone with me, soldier!

Takuya: I'll use whatever tone I like, 'sergeant'!

Tyranno: THAT'S IT! You wanna scrap? Then, Sam Hill, we'll DO IT!

Takuya sprung on Tyranno and the two were rolling around on the floor, exchanging blows like boxers.

Sonic: This is a bit too far.

Sonic zipped around, created a tornado, and Tyranno and Takuya fell apart. Cheetor and Joey grabbed Tyranno under the arms and Sonic and Arthur grabbed Takuya's.

Cheetor: What's with you guys?! We've all clunked heads with each other before, but NEVER enough to have a serious fight!

Tyranno's eyes temporarily turned into reptilian slits and that seemed to cause Joey to increase his grip.

Joey: C'mon, Hassleberry, don't go dino on us NOW!

Tyranno: This ain't my fault! Taky here decided to get smart with me!

Takuya gave up on trying to get back to Tyranno and was now looking at his shoes.

Takuya: Sorry, Tyranno. I didn't mind it, actually. I don't even know why I got so angry.

Arthur: Maybe it's because you almost became a Dark Soul.

Takuya: What do YOU know?!

Sonic: Taky!

Takuya: Sorry. I'll try and keep this thing under control.

Station Square:

Koji and Yugi were outside the Thorndyke manor. Koji was laying on his back while Yugi was sitting cross-legged on the grass in some sort of meditative pose.

Koji: Well, I'd say that it was an eventful time, but I hate lying.

Yugi: You've told me this almost fifty times.

Koji: But, you have to agree that last year was more action-packed. Last time, we were travelling through the worlds, kicking Dark Soul butt, fighting vicious monsters, and bringing back Takuya's soul. But now we've got nothing to do except hang around the house.

Suddenly, a figure appeared.

Yugi: Hello, Shadi.

Koji bolted up and found Shadi looked down on him, literally.

Shadi: Greetings, Yugi. The Sovereign have a mission for you, which is why you were sent to Station Square. You must open the gateways between the old worlds and the new ones so Takuya and his friends can pass through. And for that you will need this.

Shadi handed Koji the Millennium Key and vanished.

Koji: What was THAT all about?

Koji Minamoto

One of Takuya's friends who can change into the lightsaber-wielding Lobomon. He tried finding Takuya at sea, but his ship was destroyed by a sea serpent and he joined Yugi. He too was put to sleep for a year, but he recovered quicker than Takuya. He can be a bit stubborn, proud, and somewhat bullheaded, but he has a strong sense of honor and isn't above sacrificing himself for a friend. He first appeared in Digimon Frontier 2003.

Yugi Mutou

He's the king of all worlds, but he left his castle to find a way to permanently destroy the Dark Souls. He eventually joined Koji and they traveled together to try and find Takuya. But they're stuck being together now. The cards he uses in battle are magic and can summon monsters or use spells and traps. He first appeared as the main character in Yu-Gi-Oh 2002.

Shadi

A mysterious man who gave Koji the Millennium Key, which can open new gateways between worlds. He also gave Koji and Yugi a prod in the right direction. The odd thing about Shadi is that he can be right in front of your face one second and disappear the next. He first appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh 2002.
