*****************Chapter Nineteen: Tintica Town******************
The rain stopped, and we came out of the small grove in the bushes. "Hey, where's Leafe 'n' Shimmer?" I asked, remembering the small pixie and the cross spy. Relene and Myst exchanged glances, and pointed to each other.
"I THOUGHT YOU HAD HER!" they both accused each other.
"Had 'er?" Joey questioned.
"Up here, 'mom,'" Shimmer said sarcastically, her wings caught on trees.
Both Relene and Myst sighed. Bakura flew up and unwound the branches around Shimmer's wings. Shimmer squeaked, then fell. Leafe was below, and caught her. "I forgot that reborn the monster brings back duel monsters as children. . ." Myst remarked.
"Exactly the reason I didn't bring back your cousin," Relene confirmed.
**LATER**
We walked for about an hour now, and it was evident that Shimmer didn't think Myst and Relene were good babysitters. But it wasn't like she could fly herself, or one of her wings would get stuck.
"Wait. . . what's that?" Bakura hoarsely whispered. I froze, and listened. Faint voices were in the distance. "Hurry, hide!" Myst grabbed Shimmer and brushed aside some bushes and hid. Her hair looked like twigs, I had to admit. Relene flew up onto the top of a tree, pretending to be the sky. Bakura went over to a strange white tree and went half into the shadow and half in the sunlight. Joey leapt into a bright patch of red-orange flowers. Leafe rolled his eyes and stooped down into the underbrush, hiding easily. I frantically looked around. There must be SOME hiding place for a Dark Magician. . .
"Hey! YUGI!" one of the figures shouted cheerfully.
I relaxed. "Hi, Tea!" I gestured to my friends. "It's safe. It's just them."
"MAI-KUN!!!!" Joey shouted. He leapt out of the field and glomped Mai tightly around the neck. Myst tilted her head, and Relene cleared her throat. Leafe laughed out loud. Joey paid no heed. "I missed ya a LOT!"
I sighed and shook my head. "I guess I would feel the same if I were apart from you," I considered, leaning on Myst. She giggled.
Tristen was drooling, staring at Relene, who didn't seem to notice. "Attack of the hot babes. . ."
**LATER**
After walking what seems to be an hour or two, we reached the edge of the woods. Gasping, I peered over the ridge of a cliff, and below was a small town. Small, ant-like figures hurried around in the afternoon sunlight.
"Wow!" I gasped, leaning over to get a better view.
"Careful," Myst warned. As if on cue, I started to feel my leg slip. I screamed, and my arms flailed, but I started to rapidly lose altitude. Relene, Shimmer, Bakura and Mai, the ones who could fly, took off after me. However, I could just see the ground, growing nearer and nearer. . . I shut my eyes and screamed.
I felt suspended in air. WAIT! I AM suspended in air. I opened my eyes to see Magest with his staff held in front of him. He slowly lowered me. "Thanks. . ."
"No problem," he replied coolly. Hey, we'd he put his staff? Where's mine? I guess it's just another mystery. I wished for my staff and it materialized in my hand. So THAT'S how it works. . .
It seemed that the flying population carried the non-flying monsters down, and all my friends were around me. Relene had hearts in her eyes. . . I giggled. Magest paid no attention. "C'mon, Tintica is near."
Tintica?
^Uh. . . Yugi, ya wanna know something?^ Shimmer sweatdropped.
Yes?
^Of all people, Magest doesn't have a mindlink.^
I sweatdropped and voiced my question. "Where's Tintica?"
"That town over there," he replied, pointing behind him, where the small town stood. It wasn't really a town; a large village was more like it. . .
"Town?! It's a VILLAGE," Leafe expressed, voicing my thoughts. He pushed his way to the front and stared head-on at Magest.
"The guidebooks said town, so I'm going with that," Magest replied crisply.
"How do you know the guidebooks aren't wrong?" jeered Leafe. Relene put a firm hand over his shoulder.
"If you don't stop arguing now, I'll have t' use the needle on ya!" she threatened. Leafe paled and mechanically took a step back. I muffled my laughter.
We journeyed for a short time to Tintica Town. (Hey, it's an onimonipeia! Er. . . how do you spell that? Onemonepea? Onimonipea? Whatever!) Joey, having a temperamental and demanding stomach, dragged us all to lunch. Unfortunately, there was only one restaurant, and a flu epidemic had made all their chefs miss out on work. Of all people to solve our problem. . .
"You don't hold the pot THAT way, you hold it THIS way," corrected Leafe, grabbing the pot and showing Myst how to hold it. She sweatdropped, holding it 'this way.' "And don't touch that raw meat! Watch your elbow!"
"Leafe, I though you were a spy. . . who showed you how to cook?" Relene asked, washing a plate.
Leafe blushed. "You really didn't think a spy would be needed in peace, now did you? I'm a chef. And since when did a nurse wash dishes?"
"Family chore," she replied.
We all pitched in cooking, Leafe correcting us every now and then. According to Leafe, the way I set biscuits in the oven is "impractical, inefficient, and hazardous!" But though Leafe's "helpful" advice, we got down to eat. It was actually pretty good, though we all hated to admit it. Partially because Leafe would say "I told you so, listen to me next time!" Joey was the only one that handed out random comments about the food.
It turns out no one had a relative in Tintica. We had to leave by nightfall, or find an acquaintance. . .
We set about the job of going door-to-door, finding a place to spend the night. Again and again, we were turned down. I sighed as I approached the final door. This was it, either this or nothing. . .
I knocked on the door, and I heard light footsteps approach it. The door was tossed open and I froze. Standing in the doorway. . . was the mysterious mystical elf.
"You! How'd you get here?!" she spat, grabbing me by the collar. I gave a hard shove, but her grip was efficient, to say the least.
"Same for you!" I replied. There was distant shuffling in the background.
"What now, Reggie?" Recarn grumbled. He caught sight of me and quickly put his hands around my neck, squeezing it slightly. "Attack, and I will, too." He proved his point by quickly tightening his hands for a split second. I gagged, and desperately grabbed his hands, trying to get them away from my throat.
I didn't utter a sound, and I prayed they wouldn't sense mindlink. MYST! RELENE! JOEY! ANYONE!! HELP!!
Chance appeared behind them, somewhat doubtful, but still smug. "Don't try it. I can block all mindlink within a 50-foot radius." Hey, kid, can ya hear me?
I blinked. Confusion swarmed me. Is this a trick?
This is the only thing I'm telling you. The freedom of the spirit has given me a change of heart. I stared at him, and noticed he looked a bit. . . different. His eyes were a lighter hazel than before, and instead of two demon wings, he had two angel wings. His robes were a lighter color, too. Aloud, he said, "But really, I think we shouldn't kill him off yet. Use him as bait for his friends and let him suffer a bit."
WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!
I'm trying to distract them!
"Good 'dea Chance," Reggie said smoothly, staring at me with icy bluish- gray eyes. She gave a carefree toss of her head. "What kind of torture?"
"Recarn, get the knife! Let's have some FUN!" Chance sneered. When he lets you go, skiddattle, 'kay?
Yup!
"Yes, let's!" Recarn agreed. He used his power to summon a zombie Dark Magician, and left to get the knife. Shit. . .
