Chapter 11
Monster World Returns
~Domino, Japan-Ryou's Apartment: Saturday Morning.~
Somehow, it didn't shock Ryou all that much when Yami Bakura, (now just called 'Bakura' for short), was up and ready after about 4 days of rest. Bakura spent a lot of time with Ryou, saying to him, "I want to make up on the time that I wasted plotting revenge".
Touzoku silently seethed from the kitchen, jealous that Bakura was stealing all of Ryou's attention away from him. He was once again cooking at such a fast pace, it's a wonder he didn't make any mess.
"Ryou, do you think we could play Monster World again?" Bakura asked, "Without the big life gamble, of course."
"Well...I don't know" Ryou said, "I mean, who would we get to play with us?"
"Why not Akefia, Diabound, and Touzoku?" Bakura stated. Ryou smiled, and nodded. While he went to go ask Akefia and Diabound, Bakura went to the kitchen to ask Touzoku. He kind of stared at the man cooking at a professional speed.
"Uh...Touzoku?" Bakura asked from the doorway. The man turned to him with a smile, that, while forced, you could never tell anyway.
"Yeah...Bakura?" Touzoku asked, holding a mixing bowl.
"Me and Ryou were wondering if you wanted to play Monster World with us" Bakura stated, already knowing full well that Touzoku was jealous of him spending time with Ryou. Now if only the man can start seeing that he wouldn't mind spending time with the Thief King as well.
"Monster World? What's that?" Touzoku asked, placing the bowl on the counter. He was interested in this game...
"It's a table top RpG" Bakura stated, "You control adventures, who are suppose to beat the Dark Master" at this, Bakura's eyes got all full of shiny things, and you could clearly tell that he wanted to start playing again.
Touzoku, still interested in the game, shrugged, and said, "Alright. How do you play?"
-+-+-+-+-+-+-A Second Chance-+-+-+-+-+-+-
[~ Inside the Game Room]
"Wow! This is cool, Ryou Thdy!" Akefia said, staring at the board on which they would play. It was a different board than the one used in...Bakura's plot. The board had a town, mountains, and even a snowfield!
"This is most impressive, Ryou" Diabound stated, his snake resting in his room. "I have no interesssst in human gamessssss" Shiro Hebi had told him.
Touzoku nodded in agreement. What else could he say?
"Thank you, everyone" Ryou said, "Before we begin, we have to make your characters".
"Make?" Touzoku asked.
"That's right" Bakura said, while handing out the sheets. Touzoku, Diabound, and Akefia looked over them, and quickly filled them out, already knowing what they wanted. In the end, it went like this:

"Great job, everyone" Ryou said, while looking over the sheets, "You put in your data very well"
"Yes, I agree" Bakura stated, already sitting where the Dark Master, (D.M. for short), sat already. He turned to Ryou, and spoke, "Ryou, you should help them level up some more. After all, you're surprisingly more cunning when playing the D.M."
Ryou smiled, and agreed with Bakura. After creating everyone else's figurines, he brought out his own.

"Wow, Ryou Thdy is already levels 15!" Akefia said in amazement. Daibound and Touzoku gasped in shock, too. Ryou blushed in embarrassment, and said, "It's nothing, really!"
"Are you all ready to begin our adventure?" Bakura stated from his post. Everyone nodded, and Bakura began the script of the start of their adventure:
~*~*~*~*Monster World Saga: Chapter 1*~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~*New Acquaintances*~*~*~*~
The adventure begins with the white wizard, Ryo. He has heard of the monster lord, Zorc, taking over the small country of Elzin. Ignoring the fact that Zorc should had perished at the hands of the white wizard last time, Ryo journeyed through the small conutry of Kal'en fisrt. He had heard of some promising young individuals who could help him.
"So, it's like playing an actual story?" Touzoku asked. Bakura nodded to him, not minding the interruption at all. After all, this was his, along with Akefia and Diabound's, first time playing.
There would be some interruptions.
Continuing where he left off, Bakura started again:
When Ryo had reached the small town located in Kal'en, he noticed a group standing in one corner, discussing something important to themselves. He did not want to be rude,
At this, Ryou chuckled lightly, for Bakura spoke the truth,
But he knew time should not be wasted much longer, and he needed to see if these people would help him. So, he began to walk towards them.
Ryou took hold of his piece, and moved it towards the group, who were obviously Akefia, Diabound, and Touzoku. When he reached them, and set his piece down, Bakura started again:
Upon closer inspection, two of the people there were human, and thieves. One with experience and one still learning to be a great thief. The third one was that of the bird tribe, the bird tail. Why one was so far from the mountains that they live on was quite puzzling to the wizard, but he did not let it bother him.
Timidly, he spoke to the group:
"Are we required to act out our roles as well?" Diabound asked. Ryou nodded, while replying, "It gives the game more feel, and makes your appreciate it even more"
"That's right" Bakura said, "Getting into your character, acting out their personalities, really playing this game with your all" At this Bakura's eyes closed, a genuine smile, "That is what makes this game fascinating and enjoyable"
Everyone stared in awe. They never knew that Bakura and Ryou enjoyed table tops this much.
Getting back to the story, Ryou started his dialogue:
"E-Excuse me" Ryou started, "But are you three named Touzie, Akefia, and Chūshin?"
Bakura began to narrate again:
When they heard the wizard speak, they turned to him, wondering what he could want. They have heard of this great spell caster from many rumors. The oldest thief started to talk.
Touzoku started his:
"Yeah, we are" Touzoku started, "What do you need?"
"I was wondering" Ryou began, "If you would mind traveling with me to stop Zorc. I thought I had beaten him last time, sacrificing a good portion of my power, in order to do so...but it seems I was wrong..."
"Whats do you need then, mister wizards sir?" Akefia spoke up next, in his usual, (Cute), dialect. Everyone had to restrain themselves from going, "AWWWWW". Ryou continued the story:
"While I'm sure I can gain power again to be able to do it alone, I know that I can not defeat Zorc by myself" Ryou said, "So, are you interested?"
"We would be honored, white wizard" Diabound started, "What do you need us to do?"
"If you do not mind" Ryou said, "I wish to help you start to grow even more powerful. Let us train in the forest. There are not many powerful monsters, but it will do for training"
"Okay" Touzoku replied, "I'm Touzie, by the way. The great thief King! The young one is Akefia, my apprentice"
Akefia cheered in happiness:
"And the bird tail is our friend, Chūshin" Touzoku said, "He's a priest in training."
"I see" Ryou said, "My name is Ryo. Let us go, and hope for a safe journey."
And so, the newly formed group heads for the forest of life. On their way, however, they see a strange man lying in the field. Is this a trick? Or does this person really need help? What will the adventurers do?
Bakura waited while Diabound, Akefia, Touzoku, and Ryou decided what to do.
"It seems too innocent" Touzoku stated, "Someone already appearing?"
"I agree" Diabound said, "If Zorc is powerful as he is being stated, then it's possible for him to know about possible trouble, like us"
"But, he seems hurted" Akefia said, "Shouldn't we help him?"
Ryou was silent. He knew this trick. Bakura had used it before.
"Okay, let's even see if he's alive. Diabound, go check him out" Touzoku said, looking at his faithful partner.
"Wait, why me?" Diabound asked.
"Cause you're a priest! Priests are supposed to do nice things!" Touzoku stated simply. Diabound shrugged, and moved his piece towards the NPC character. "Um...I poke him with my staff, I guess..."
Everyone chuckled, while Bakura started again:
The bird tail softly pokes the strange man on the ground. He stirs, and looks up at everyone with fright in his eyes. Seeing this, the wizard starts to speak to him.
Ryou started:
"Do not be frighten, citizen" Ryou said, "We are not here to harm you. Now, please tell us what happened?"
At this, the man begins to speak, "Please, help me! I was robbed of a rare treasure by some monsters! I was going to give it to someone very important!"
"Tch, stupid monsters" Touzoku said, "They have no use for treasure."
"Are we goings to helps him then?" Akefia asked.
"Yeah, sure why not" Touzoku said, "Where did the monsters go?"
"They ran into the forest of shadows" Bakura acted out the NPC. Everyone nodded, and head to the forest with the strange man. Bakura then spoke up, "There is an encounter rate of 80% percent in these woods."
"Whoa, 80?" Touzoku said in awe. Bakura nodded, and gave them the 10-sided dice, explaining, "The red one is the ten's column, and the white one is the one's. You have to roll a 70 or higher to get through without fighting monsters"
"Alright, here I go!" Touzoku said, rolling the dice. When they stopped rolling, they sported a 67. "Aww, nuts" Touzoku said.
"Then the adventurers encounter 5 monsters" Bakura said. And then five monsters appeared on the board.
"Alright, let's get 'em guys!" Touzoku declared. Akefia and Diabound cheered and nodded, while Ryou smiled.
"The Thief King, Touzie, goes first" Bakura said. Touzoku choose a bat-like creature, and held the dice. Bakura did something on the computer, before stating, "To win, you must roll a 45 or lower."
Touzoku nodded, and rolled the dice again. They stopped, and sported a 25!
"The Thief King destroys the monster" Bakura said, and the battle unfolded. The character of Touzoku's character drew two knifes, and slashed downwards on the monster in a powerful motion: "Cobra Strike!"
"Next is the thief's apprentice, Akefia" Bakura said, while Touzoku passed the dice to Akefia, who chose a strange monster. Bakura did more work on the computer, before declaring, "You must roll a 65 or less to be successful".
Akefia cheered, and rolled the dice. When the dice stopped, they landed on a 33!
"The apprentice is successful" while the battle played out on the field. Akefia's character drew some knives, and threw them at the monster, destroying it: "Knife throw!"
"2 Down, 3 more to go!" Touzoku said, already getting into the battle.
"Next, is the priest in training, Chūshin" Bakura said. Diabound accepted the dice from Akefia, and waited for Bakura to finish, "He must roll a 50 or lower to destroy any monster" Bakura declared. Diabound nodded, and then threw the dice. When they stopped rolling, they showed that they landed on 00!
"No way!" Ryou gasped from his seat, "Even I've never rolled a 00 on my first turn!"
"What? What did I do?" Diabound asked, scared that he did something wrong already.
"A-A 00 means that your character not only is successful, but he can use the highest holy magic that starting priests have!" Bakura said, "You just rolled a super critical!"
"WHAT!?" Both Akefia and Touzoku said at the same time. Diabound looked a bit shocked. On the board, his character began to glow a holy aura, and released a powerful bright light onto the three remaining monsters. They exploded into oblivion: "Holy Judgment!"
"That was awesome!" Touzoku stated, "Super criticals are awesome!"
"He-heh-heh-heh"
Everyone turned their attention to the young man NPC on the board in confusion. Bakura continued his speech:
"So, you are the ones that would defy Lord Zorc" the strange man said to the group. The young man's form begins to change into that of a hideous dragon monster, with dark skin and many horns and spikes. "However, this is as far as you go" the monster stated to them, "For I am Zorc's loyal servant, Dragonin!"
Dragonin
Level: 12
Hit Points: 150
"Uh-ohs..." Akefia stated. Everyone already agreed with him.
"This is a mini-boss," Bakura stated, "Since his speed is higher than the adventures, he goes first".
"Crap" Touzoku and Diabound said at the same time. Bakura checked the computer, and said in shock, "Though, the White Wizard is at a tie with Dragonin. If he rolls closer to zero than him, he can protect everyone." So, with that said, he took out another pair of dice, and handed them to Ryou, who smiled.
"You can do it, Ryou Thdy!" Akefia cheered.
"Yeah, what he said!" Touzoku cheered as well.
Diabound nodded in agreement. Ryou smiled at them all, and threw the dice at the same time Bakura threw his.
Bakura rolled a 10.
Ryou rolled a 05.
"Well...the White wizard is more successful, and can cast his shield around the other players" Bakura sighed, a little peeved he lost to his soft spoken Hikari.
A light blue and white shield appeared around the players, protecting them from Dragonin's Inferno claw: "Shining Shield!"
"Whoo! In Yo' Face, Dragonin!" Touzoku said.
Bakura chuckled at this, and did more work on the computer, "Touzie gets to go again. He needs to roll a 50 or lower now to win."
Touzoku nodded, while he took the dice from Ryou. He rolled, and they landed on a 49.
"Yikes. Close call" he said, noticing how close he was to fumbling. His piece did another Cobra strike on the Mini Boss. Dragonin roared in pain.
Dragonin: Hit Points: 100
Touzoku handed Akefia the dice, seeing as he was to go next. Bakura checked the computer again, and said that he needed to roll a 55 or lower to attack the monster. Akefia just smiled while he threw the dice, which landed on a 04!
"Oh, C'mon! Akefia rolled a 'effin super critical, too!" Touzoku said, a bit peeved. He wanted to roll a super critical, damnit!
Akefia laughed happily, when his character drew two knifes from his pocket, he slashed at Dragonin in a crescent moon motion, while stabbing the other into the monster, causing a lot of damage to the beast, (if the loud roar didn't already tip that off): "Crescent Blade!"
Dragonin: Hit Points: 065
"Chūshin, the priest, goes next" Bakura said, Akefia handing the dice to Diabound. Bakura declared that he needed to roll a 39 or lower to attack. Diabound gulped, and threw his dice. They landed on a 10!
"The priest is successful" Bakura said, as Diabound's piece held his staff like a bow. Light shined from the staff, and formed a proper bow, with an arrow as well. He pulled the arrow back, and shot the arrow towards the boss, utterly destroying it: "Light Arrow!"
Dragonin: Hit Points: -010
Bakura began his narration again: Dragonin roared in pain and anger, "N-no! How could I have been defeated by these puny adventurers!?"
Around this, Touzoku spoke up, "Because we're not normal adventures! We're Bad-ass adventures!"
Bakura chuckled, while he continued his narration: With a final roar, the evil minion of Zorc disappeared before their very eyes in a cloud of smoke. With the monster defeated, they left the forest of shadows, and continued to their original destination, the forest of life, to train. Though, that didn't mean they left the money Dragonin dropped behind.
"Sweet, we got money!" Touzoku said, "I saw we spend it on meat!"
"We need items too, Touzoku" Diabound said from his spot, "Like medical supplies."
"And candy!" Akefia said. Everyone laughed at that. Ryou, after calming down, looked at the clock, and gasped. "It's already 10:30 P.M.! My, time does fly when you are having fun."
"Aww, crap! I was supposed to make dinner half an hour ago!" Touzoku said, getting up to do said chore, "I demand that we play this when it's not my turn to cook!"
"You always cook, though, Touzoku" Diabound said, also getting up. He needed to feed Shiro her daily mouse, after all.
"I promise, when we decide to play again, we'll just order out" Ryou said, "So you don't have to fret, Touzoku."
And with that, the first of many chapters to Monster World ended.
