A Star Is Born
Chapter Two:
The Inevitable
By: fairysphinxfairysphinx: Well, here we are again! Chapter two! Well, I have four review, three encouraging, so I'm going to keep writing. But I'm just rambling on, so I think it's time to start the chapter, don't you think?
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, although I do own Star.
Yugi, followed by Joey, Tea, Tristan, and Bakura, ran into a clearing, where a HUMONGUS guy towered over a girl (Star) who was sitting on the grass.
"Hey!" Tristan shouted. "Leave that kid alone!" For the first time, the man took notice of them, and threw a bomb at them. The bomb, being a paralyzation bomb, paralyzed the little group.
'Heh, now I'm glad that I took that bomb along.'
"Now, fork over your starchips, girly-girl!" Star shook her head, no. Joe Bob (sorry, I got sick of 'the eliminator') picked her up by the collar of her pajamas. "I SAID GIVE ME YOUR STARCHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Leave her be!" A sword was at the throat of the eliminator.
"Yeah, and what are you going to do about it, tough guy? You're too scared to even show your face!" That wasn't too good of an idea. The Celtic Guardian, also known as Kyne, stepped out of the bush, and Sliver Fang, also known as Zev, stationed himself right behind the eliminator.
"The only one who is afraid is you. Bullies are more afraid of the people they bully, than the people you bully are afraid of you. Now, be gone with you, after you bring the young ones back to normal." Another bomb allowed Tea, Bakura, Tristan, Yugi, and Joey to move again. Then, Joe Bob disappeared forever, after being chased away by Zev.
Star's eyes misted over. "My heroes!" she said, before glomping the cards.
"Hey, Yug' isn't that the Celtic Guardian? And Silver Fang?"
"Yes, Joey, it is!"
"Cool! That girl must have one of those thing-a-ma-jigs Kaiba has! I didn't think that they worked all that well, though. I mean, speaking, whoa!"
"Thanks for helping us out." Tea had already wondered up to Silver Fang (Zev) and the Celtic Guardian (Kyne).
"We were just doing our duty."
"Are you all right, Mas-I mean Star?" Zev asked.
"Just fine, thanks to you two!"
"What's your duty?"
"We are to protect our Master, or perish." Kyne was still answering Tea's questions.
"Who's your Master?"
"Tea!"
"What, Bakura?!"
"Stop being so rude!"
"We don't mind. Our Master is the one whose starchips Joe Bob tried to steal."
"Oh. Okay!" Joey walked up and started poking Zev.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be able to put your hand through holographs?"
"Yes." Tristan said, curiously. He started poking Kyne. After about a minute of poking, Star lost her temper.
"STOP POKING ZEV AND KYNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" That got them to stop. And that caused her to look at them. "OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It can't be!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has got to be a dream!!! Bakura, Tea, Tristan, Yugi, Joey!!!!!! Plus Zev and Kyne!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE let this not be a dream!!!!"
"So, ya know our names?" Joey asked, proudly.
"Of course! Who wouldn't? Just about everyone in my whole school watches the show Yu-Gi-Oh!"
"I haven't heard of that show."
"It's about you guys!"
"Hey, neat!"
"Star, I think it would be a good idea if we got moving."
"All right, Kyne."
'Wait, I'm in my pajamas!'
||Star: Hey, fairysphinx!||
|fairysphinx: What?|
||Star: You forgot to give me a change of clothes.||
|fairysphinx: Sorry! There's now a change of clothes in your knapsack.|
||Star: Thanks!||
"Just let me get dressed." When she was finished changing, Star was in a loose, blue skirt that came down just above her knees, a red tank top, covered by a forest green jacket with elbow-length sleeves, buttoned between her collarbones with a golden button, the rest of the jacket open. On her feet were leather, high-heel, button-up boots that came up to two inches below her knees. Her black hair was pulled up into a ponytail, and had a floppy, forest green bow holding it up. Also, Star had put on the duelist's glove on her right hand (which had eight star chips), and the golden gauntlet on her left. "Well, let's go!"
The duelist arenas were bigger than Star had thought them to be. Figuring that they would stand out too much, Zev and Kyne were covered in blankets, to look like they were wearing cloaks. It worked.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the rookies. I see you've got some new friends!" Mai was being very annoying. She knew it, and she loved it. "Are you all going hungry, now?"
"Huh? What's she talking about, Yugi?"
"Oh, didn't they tell you? Tisk, tisk, boys!"
"If you guys were hungry, you could have told me. I have plenty of food."
"That's right, boys. Let a girl come to your rescue. Everyone knows they're the stronger! And who's your other friends? The ones in the cloaks? They look like fugitive who are hiding from the law!"
"Alright, that's it! You can make fun of me all you want, but don't go making fun of anyone else!"
"Oh, I shaking in my boots."
"I challenge you to a duel, Mai!"
"I accept! Be ready to fork over your starchips. How many are we playing for, anyhow?"
"How about three?"
"Fine!" Each player drew five cards (I hope you don't mind, but I'm terrible at making up duels, so I'm just going to hit auto-calc.).
* * *
"I don't understand how I could loose!" Mai whined. "I was winning!" Star had a smug look on her face. "Here!" She took off three starchips and handed them to Star, who shook her head, no.
"Keep them, Mai. That duel was just to avenge the people whom you insulted."
"Well!" Mai stormed off. Star sighed and giggled.
"That was sure fun!"
* * *
That night, Star looked up in the sky. Everyone else had gone to sleep, Zev had caught wind of someone not too far off, and Kyne just kind of disappeared. She was alone.
Star decided to role through all that had happened. 'Okay, I went to bed yesterday in my bed. I woke up today on Duelists' Island. Met Kyne and Zev, attacked by an eliminator, saved by Zev and Kyne; met Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Tea, and Bakura; dueled Mai.' A rustle in a bush nearby brought her back to reality. Kyne and Zev emerged from it.
"Hey, guys."
"I thought you would have been asleep by now, Star."
"Well, I couldn't sleep. I guess I just needed time to think over things. I mean, it's not every day that you get teleported to-" Something was wrong. Something wasn't right. Getting up, Star took a step or two back from the cards.
"What's the matter?" Kyne asked. Star shook her head.
"Imposters."
"What?" Zev growled.
"You are not my friends. You are imposters."
"What makes you say that?"
"Do you think I'm dumb? I spend 7 hours a day at school, 8 asleep, 2 eating, 2 hours dueling, and the other 5 hours studying my cards. I think I would know my cards, thank you very much!" They chuckled evilly. In unison, they said:
"So, you managed to find your way out of the fog…this time. But next time you might not be so lucky!!!!!!!!!" Star fell a dull pain at the back of her head, and all went black.
When she awoke, the sun was just beginning to peek its sleepy head over the horizon. Zev was sleeping peacefully my her feet, but he stirred awake, when she moved. Kyne sat up in a tree nearby, hidden from sight. Tea was in her tent, and the boys were sprawled out, miscellaneously, around the clearing. All of them were still sleeping. 'Maybe it was just a dream,' Star thought. Except for two problems. First, she wasn't where she went to sleep the night before, and two, the back of her head throbbed painfully.
End of Chapter Two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fairysphinx: Well, how was chapter two? I hope you liked it! Chapter three will be coming out whenever I get to it, but I hope that it will be soon. So, I leave you now, to ponder this chapter. Bye!
