Konnichiwa! This chapter is shorter than the others, particularly because
my wireless
mouse wasn't working until I put AA batteries. For those of you that have not seen the
Battle City arc, DO NOT READ THIS CHAPTER!! IT CONTAINS MAJOR
SPOILERS!
Jenny (appears): Have you been watching Yugioh! again?
Draconmouth (nodding): This morning. There were some crazy takes, but I personally
think that deleted scenes are just as good. Watch out for those after a few more chapters.
Now, ON WITH THE FIC!!!
************************************* Yami, Yugi (in transparent form), and I were talking and discussing about Marik.
They didn't even knew what he looked like or when he would strike next. I had a
premonition about it, a very bad one. My instinct proved right, as a clown appeared and
told Yami to follow him. I tried to warn him, but it ended up that Tea and Mr. Muto were
calling at us that made me stop, right outside of the tent. I responded, but Yami didn't
even hear them. He walked into a box and the box just fell down in pieces. I panicked,
then remembered this was the Master of Magicians episode. The three of us (Mr. Muto,
Tea, and me) began to run searching for him. I was thinking, Darn it! If only I knew
where that building was! When we finally gave up, Mokuba came over to us, and told us
that Kaiba had gotten the coordinates and that Yugi was in the basement of a building.
Duh. We followed him to a building, where Tristan came up on his motorcycle. In my
worried state I ran ahead, going down the stairs and phasing through the door. "Yugi!" I
shouted. He saw me, but already knowing my mutant abilities, wasn't surprised. Arkana
(Pandora in the Japanese version) was standing up with the Millennium Eye symbol on
his forehead. I knew it was Marik. He explained that according to the Ancient Scriptures,
you had to win a Millennium Item from a duel, and that he would soon get the Pharaoh's
power. "Beware of the Quiet One", 'Marik' said, and then released his hold on Arkana.
Just then Tristan, Mokuba, Tea, and Mr. Muto opened the door. God, if this was how
things were going, then things wouldn't be very pretty if Quiet One would be here soon.
I woke up early thanks to my battery powered alarm clock, and got dressed in
order to follow Yugi during the Battle City tournament. Since we were going to be
dueling in the sky (not that Yugi knew), I packed my backpack with all of my supplies
and put it on. (Mr. Muto actually joked if I was going to leave, and I shrugged it off)
Yugi was waiting, so we ran to where Joey and Mai were. Mai already had four locator
cards, Yugi three, and Joey two. "Well none of us are going to go to the finals just
standing here", Mai pointed out, and we split up. Yugi asked me who I thought the Quiet
One was. I shrugged, but I cast a sideward glance at a guy who was standing so still on a
bench that he could have passed for a statue. Oh man, I thought, is Yugi going to have a
tough time beating Strings. [AN: I know this is a spoiler, so if you haven't seen this
episode or any of Battle City, don't read this fan fic. It's not worth it] We looked for a
while at the board where Joey was dueling Weevil Underwood, and it was about half an
hour before he won. By then it was lunchtime, so I took out one of my boxes of Cheerios
and had that. I offered some to Yugi, and for a while near a waterway we sat, chewing
and thinking thoughtfully. Yami in his transparent form, joined in the conversation that
followed soon after and even without that cool graphic in the first part of Mime Control, I
still liked the way Yugi said it. Then Yami said he felt something and disappeared. Yugi
looked around and shouted, "Where are you?" Strings jumped from the overhead bridge,
and introduced himself. Yugi switched to Yami. Then he said something I had never
heard in that episode. "After I defeat you, my mind slave will kill both you and your
friend." "What the-?" I stood back as the duel began. 'Marik' started out by playing
Humanoid Slime in attack mode and one card facedown. I wish I could have told Yami
what his facedown card was, but in this duel, 'Marik' was somehow keeping me quiet.
Yami retaliated by playing a stronger monster, Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts
(1500/1200) but deciding not to attack. Luckily within the first few minutes, Yugi
defeated his polymerized monster and made 'Marik' lose some life points. I couldn't help
cheering a little. "Go, Yugi", I said. "Cheer all you want, for soon you'll be in death's
Realm for an eternity", 'Marik' looked a his hand. "I play Revival Jam (500/1500) in
defense mode." Once again I tried to warn Yami, but I was too late by a few seconds.
Revival Jam reformed itself, and then 'Marik' played Jam Breeding Machine. It was only
frozen disbelief that made me prevent Yami from telling him the strategy. 'Marik' then
played Nightmare Steel Cage, which prevented Yami from attacking for two more turns.
I wanted to run for help, but impulse made me stay. Besides, I wanted to see how this
duel would turn out. Slifer the Sky Dragon was scary though. Even though there was no
Final Fantasy music, anyone would be scared to see a large dragon appear from the sky,
looking like he was ready to rumble. I was scared for Yami. His Buster Blader was soon
turned into digitized smithereens, as well as his Dark Magician Girl. Yami collapsed on
his knees, muttering, "I can't let him win my puzzle." "Come on, Yami, you didn't take
this challenge with the intention of losing", I urged him. "Get on your feet, Yugi", a cold
voice asserted. "Kaiba?" both Yami and I looked up. The host of Battle City was standing
there, with Mokuba. "Since when do you bow to your opponent?" Kaiba asked. "Never",
Yami answered. "Then get up and defeat this nobody and take his God card, if you have
what it takes." Kaiba-kun baka desu! [For those of you that don't know this, it means
"Kaiba is an idiot!"] Didn't it look like that was what Yami was trying to do? But
eventually Yami figured out the monster's weakness, and used Brain Control to take
'Marik's' Revival Jam. It was an endless cycle, and because 'Marik' finally had no more
cards to draw, he automatically lost. Mokuba went up to Strings, and gave Yami Slifer
the Sky Dragon and a locator card. Of course, Kaiba immediately challenged Yami to a
duel. "Kaiba! Yugi just finished a duel-" I started, but then Strings got up, being
controlled again by Marik. He told Yugi he could see everything, and he was always
looking for new mind slaves. "Who do you think would be a better mind slave? Joey?
Tea? Maybe even your little friend." "First of all, there's nothing little about me, and
you'll never control me!" I shouted, in a hissy fit. The last person who called me short
got to experience their worst fear, thanks to my mutant ability. By then I had gotten a
growth spurt, up to 5'5. "Leave my friends alone, Marik! You will pay dearly if any harm
comes to them!" Yami joined in with me. "Do I sense a weak spot, Pharaoh? Like my
dragon's weakness of power destroyed it, your weakness of your friends will destroy
you." Then Strings collapsed. Yami and I began running, me ahead ignoring Kaiba's
shouts. Yami eventually caught up to me, and we began to run, looking for them. But I
had a bad feeling we were too late.
Two Rare Hunters stopped Yami and me. They told Yami that in order to rescue
our friends he would have to duel them. Then they started Rock, Paper, and Scissors,
which led to nowhere until Kaiba showed up behind us. I stepped aside and watched the
duel. It was short and sweet, but considering that this was a preparation for the next
double duel, this was only a test. Obelisk the Tormentor was just as frightening as Slifer,
but at least Slifer's owner didn't laugh evilly the way Kaiba did. Day usually laughed
whenever Kaiba did, but at least it was for humor. Yami and Kaiba started walking
ahead, and I began to follow them, when one of them grabbed my arm. "Marik will be
pleased to have you", Umbra said. "Not a chance!" I shouted, phasing through him and
wiping his and Lumis's memory of me. I thought, how much dumber can they get? as I
caught up with Yami and Kaiba, walking slightly behind them so no one would truly
notice me. We walked up to Domino Aquarium, where both Yami and I checked for
Joey, Tea, Mr. Muto, and Tristan but they were already gone. Tag Team Takedown
would begin soon.
