Chapter 3: Bakura's Dark Wish
Bakura shoved Ms. Brief way and entered the building. Unfortunately, his hand touched her breasts in the process, which caused her to scream. As soon as they heard it, Dr. Brief, Goku, Seto, and Yugi rushed to the doorway. Immediately, Seto and Yugi knew who it was. As they approached the door, a large Man-Eater Bug materialized. Bakura could see who was coming as it did.
"What?! No! Yugi and Kaiba are here already! Damn that Kaiba and his resources!"
"Bakura!" Yugi said in surprise.
"Not your average Bakura, Yugi," he replied.
"You're the evil spirit of the Millennium Ring."
With that said, Yugi's Millennium Puzzle began to glow, and Yami merged with his partner in mind and body. Bakura sensed the change as all too familiar.
"I don't know how you returned to Bakura's body, but I'll make sure you won't come back."
"Yugi," Goku said, "Who is this guy?"
"His name was Bakura, but an evil spirit for that Millennium Ring has taken him over. He must be using the power of the Shadow Realm to make that monster come alive."
"What?" Seto questioned, "I thought it was just a machine!"
"No, he's using similar magic as Pegasus used with his Millennium Eye."
"Oh is that all," Goku replied, "so just beat the monster up."
"It's not that simple, Goku."
"It can't be that hard."
"Go ahead, fool," Bakura challenged, "Try your hardest."
"Fine," Goku said as he charged right for the monster.
"No! Goku!"
He ran right towards the monster as it began to reel for an attack. It swiped its claws at the little boy, but they hit nothing but a blurry image of Goku.
"Yoo-Hoo," Goku said from behind it.
The Man-Eater Bug turned around only to be kicked in its stomach. The monster fell to the floor in pain and disappeared. Yami Yugi, Seto, and even Bakura were in shock.
"Good old Goku," Dr. Brief said in contempt.
"Impossible!" Bakura said, "How can you just destroy that monster?! Any other mortal would have not been able to escape, let alone kill it!"
"I guess I'm not an ordinary mortal, huh?" Goku replied scratching the back of his head.
Bakura backed out of the building and on to the lawn.
"Who the hell is this?!! What he just did defies even my logic!"
"Goku?" Yami Yugi asked, "Are you ok?"
"What? What do you mean? I feel fine. That overgrown bug was nothing."
"Yugi, do you think this boy could have been telling the truth when he said about flying?" Seto asked.
"Maybe."
"Enough!" Bakura interrupted, "I'm going to get what I came here for. Dr. Brief, hand over the Dragon Radar."
"Dragon Radar?" both Seto and Yami Yugi questioned.
"That? My daughter invented that, so I don't have it."
"What's a Dragon Radar?" Seto asked Dr. Brief.
"It's a special detector that can track the position of Dragon Balls."
"Ok, now you've lost me," Yami Yugi said.
"The Dragon Balls," Goku began, "are spheres that can call forth the Eternal Dragon that can grant you one wish. There are seven all together."
"That makes no sense," Yugi said, "You were attempting to get all seven Millennium Items."
"I am," Bakura answered, "You see, I happened to run into a person you know Goku: Emperor Pilaf. I forced him to tell me what the Dragon Balls were used for. He already had five of them and told me a person in the Brief family had a device that could track the other two. He knew what city they were in but did not know where that was and told me that Kaiba Corp had been dealing with them for sometime. That's why I took your file on this company, Kaiba, to locate it. Fortunately, Pilaf had a rather unique traveling device, so I spared him and his little crones."
"But, why?" Kaiba asked, "Why go after these Dragon Balls?"
"To make a wish, mortal. It's easier to gather seven, untouched Dragon Balls than to risk my soul for the other most likely owned Millennium Items. Once I summon the Dragon, I shall wish for all Millennium Items to be brought into my possession: a quick, easy way to get them all."
"What's a Millennium Item?" Goku asked.
"They are seven mystical items that give a person mysterious and powerful magic," Yami Yugi answered, "I have one and so does he. There are seven and many, like him, believe that the power to rule the world will come to them when they gather them all."
"Enough of the talk," Bakura demanded, "Give me the radar."
"Why should we?" Goku asked.
Bakura took out his deck again, but Goku thought he was going for a weapon. He took out his Power Pole from his back holder and aimed it at Bakura.
"Power Pole extend!" he commanded the weapon.
It stretched out and hit Bakura on the chest, barely missing his Millennium Ring. He fell down, dropping his deck.
"You're not that strong, are you?" Goku asked.
Yami Yugi and Seto were at a loss of words as Bakura attempted to get up from the blow.
"Fucking child! How dare you! I'm going to tear your soul to shreds!"
"Are you going to talk or fight?"
"Insolent fool! You can't fathom the power I have right now!! I could trap your soul in a card!!!"
"Then do it," Goku said.
"My mind is too diverted. I was expecting nobody to be here. Perhaps I can…"
Bakura then noticed his ring doing something very odd. The pointers were pulling towards Goku.
"What's going on? I know that boy does not have a Millennium Item! What could it be detecting?"
Bakura then noticed something on Goku's belt: a small bag with something in it.
"That bag looks small enough to carry something like a sphere or…a ball!! He has a Dragon Ball, but why is my Millennium Ring reacting? Wait a second! When I was looking for that Tristan in Pegasus's castle, it pointed in his direction. Could it be that it has a similar effect with these Dragon Balls?"
Bakura smiled and got up. He began to pick up his deck from the grass. Goku was a bit confused by this act, but Seto and Yami Yugi were preparing themselves.
"Ok," Bakura said, "I don't need to be here."
"What?" Yami Yugi asked.
"I just made a perfect discovery. I wouldn't bother you anymore," he said taking a card from his deck: a Worm Hole card.
With a bright flash, Yami Yugi, Goku, Seto, Dr. Brief, and Ms. Brief dissapered. Bakura laughed and ran from the lawn into a dark alley. Seconds later, the gang appeared again in there exact same places.
"Where'd he go?" Goku asked.
"Damn," Yami Yugi said, "He got away, and I know what he's up to."
"What?"
"He must have found a way to use his Millennium Ring to detect Dragon Balls. He must be going for the sixth one."
"I've got the last one," Goku said getting his four-star one from his pouch.
"Does he need all seven to summon the Dragon?" Seto asked.
"Oh yeah. All seven have to be gathered, but if he has five of them, we need to get them back. If some disaster comes to earth, they can help to solve it."
"I think I have a way we can stop him and convince Bakura not to go after them anymore," Seto said with one of his rare smiles, "But he has to get the sixth one, and I need to do a little work."
He turned to Dr. Brief.
"Dr. Brief, do you mind if I use your lab?"
"What? No, go ahead."
"Thank you. Yugi, I need you to call my company and tell them to bring over an object ASAP. Goku, I need you to tell me exactly what happens when the Dragon is summoned."
Thus ends another chapter. I hope you're enjoying this fic. The next chapter will be posted tomorrow.
