PREVIOUSLY, ON FALLING DOMINO PIECES:
— Sorry to interrupt your little games — said a voice, from NOWHERE — but there's something I had to discuss... —
The Puzzle started floating, and then it just got off Yugi and got away really fast. Yami was dragged inside, leaving them with no possibility.
— What the hell did just happen here? — asked Joey.
— I don't know, but we have to get the puzzle and Yami back before anything bad happens! — said Yugi, but he was stopped.
— Something bad has already happened. There's a Deity Artifact in use now, and if something just got off by itself after some voice was heard, then I suppose I'm right. —
Again, the voice came from nowhere, or so they thought.
Saisyu landed right in front of them, using his brand new Deity Wings. Then he turned to see them and said:
— The Deity Conceal. —
________________________________________
CHAPTER 6: See me later
Yugi and company were in the library of the school the next day. They hadn't found the Millenium Puzzle, so they had to think fast...
— If my suppositions are correct, the person we're looking for... —
Saisyu interrupted himself and everyone turned to see him.
— ...has no clothes on. —
Major facefault. Even from the library lady.
— What the hell are you talking about? — asked Joey, totally clueless, both as usual and as everyone else, of what was he talking about.
— See, — Saisyu said — the Deity Conceal has the power to turn the user invisible. But not the accessories on him, unless they are other Deity Artifacts. —
— Ooooh. —
— So, what does that fact has to do with our mission?! — Téa was really desperate. They hadn't accomplished anything since the other day.
— Well, for a start, — interrupted the library lady — it's wintertime. So, he or she will be looking for warmth. Look in places that are warm. —
Everyone turned to see the library lady. She was blonde, with a tail covering her left eye. She had extremely beautiful emerald eyes, and she had a black, long denim skirt, stripped on the left side, a black T-shirt that had a large, white dot in it, and a black jacket. Now that you say it, you could find the dark part of the Yin-Yang circle on the complete clothing. She also had 3 golden bracelets on her right hand. The nails weren't painted.
— ...Alana? — said Saisyu, shocked. — My, you look as beautiful as always... —
— Oh Sai-kun, as charming as usual — and then she approached and grabbed his face, as if she was going to kiss him in the lips. But she aimed to the forehead. Saisyu blushed anyway.
And everyone cooed.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
— Yoshibuni-kun, would you mind to tell me what was I saying before? —
— Yes, professor Kinomoto. You were saying that there were rumors that a game was played in Ancient Egypt, game that served as a base for an actual one. —
(Author's Note: So what if I took him from Card Captor Sakura? He fitted.)
— Yes — Fujitaka said, showing the class an actual Millenium Piece: the Millenium Scale — This was found in a hidden crypt. We had to ask for it to a man called Shaadi. But I'm not gonna tell you the whole story- —
— Because it bores the hell outta us. —
— OK, people, who said that? — Fujitaka asked angrily to the class. Everybody was startled, mostly because they hadn't said that.
— I did. What? Can't you see me? Oh, I forgot. Nobody can. —
Just then, the Millenium Scale started to hover and leave.
— Oh no you won't! — Saisyu literally jumped out of his seat and flew (metaphorically, he didn't pull the Deity Wings out...) on pursue. The Scale went faster, obviously.
— What the hell is happening here? — Fujitaka asked himself.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yugi was sitting in his seat (Where else?) in his classroom. Then, he could clearly see the Scale hovering down the hall, and Saisyu flying (yes, this time with the Wings on) to it. He didn't even think. He ran towards it.
— Mr. Motou, just where do you think you're going? —
— Save it — said both Yugi and Saisyu, the last throwing a paper plane to the teacher. Unfolding it, he discovered a permission to leave the class.
— Kids these days — he said, and then he went back to class, not before receiving several of those papers from Tristan, Joey, Tea and Ryou, who ran off as well.
— What the... —
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yugi, Saisyu and the rest of the team ran towards the hovering Item in fierce pursue...
...before Joey tripped.
He tripped Tea over, who tripped Tristan over, who tripped Yugi over, who clung himself to Saisyu, who fell, knocking whoever was grabbing the Scale over to the floor of the Library. Alana acted fast, grabbing the Scale and running. Whoever was invisible wasn't totally now, as he had a black, huge Post-it note stuck to him.
Everyone thought fast and hit the Post-it note. Several times.
When Yugi kicked it last, though, the Deity Conceal appeared, and flew off his owner, now totally visible, and sitting in the floor in a "I was thrown here" pose.
It was a kid, 8 years old telling by his height (A/N: So you know it's an estimate. Now I have to run from Yugi that's trying to strangle me). He had blond hair (as blond as Alana's hair, that's between Yugi's yellow bangs and white) and sky blue eyes. Attached to his left shoulder was a weird white plate. It had a faint green LED light flashing each second in it. And he was crying silently in pain.
Three guesses where was the black Post-it note stuck. No. Nah... There! The lower area.
So they've been hitting him in the worse area to hit all along!
All the males in the group (that means everyone except Téa!) cringed in the thought of pain.
The boy lifted his hand and, oddly, the Deity Conceal returned to him. Saisyu had heard about the ability of each "chosen" to recall their Artifacts before, so he wasn't surprised. He just yelled.
— ALANA! RUN! —
She did.
The kid just said "See me later, idiots" and put his artifact back on. He vanished. Then you could see the Post-it note flying off and falling to the floor.
So he was totally invisible again...
... unless, of course, he hadn't grabbed the Millenium Ring from Ryou and got off as fast as hell for a sinner towards Alana.
Which he did.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alana had been reached and the Scale stolen as well. Everyone was in the cafeteria plotting.
— Now what? He has 3 Millenium Items and he searches the rest. — said Yugi, very worried.
— Not to mention that he may want my Deity Artifacts. And he has an advantage: being invisible. —
— Now what? — Joey asked, throwing back a roll to an "attacker".
The roll was once again thrown, but this time it hit a crystal ball hanging from the chandelier above. Coincidentally, the lightbulb on that side went off. But that's not important right now. Saisyu observed that the crystal ball wasn't at all visible before it was hit with the food. But that's not all.
The roll fell on Alana's soda water glass. We could see Alana's shocked face. And lots of bubbles coming up.
That's when it hit him.
— I think we have 2 possibilities — he said. Everyone turned to see him.
— One of them is covering him in something, and the other is getting him into water. —
They loved the idea.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Location: The warmest place on the entire school: The boiler room.
There, the 3 Millenium items stolen by far (Puzzle, Ring and Scale) rested in a shelf near the boiler. We could hear a certain voice talking to the items.
And no, he wasn't saying, "They came to me... My preciousssss..."
— Perfect. Soon, I'll have enough powers to conceal entirely. Then, I will be able to easily steal the other Deity Artifacts (especially in this freezing winter), and Boss will be pleased. And hopefully, I'll be free. But the question is... Where are the other 4? —
Well, Yami Bakura had the eye. Shaadi had the Ankh. And both the Tauk and the Rod were with the Ishtar brothers, who had to do an unexpected trip to Ireland and came back in 3 months. Too bad, they'll miss the rest of the school year. Well, we really don't know, as they were yelling hoorays full-forced all the night before...
Anyway, the Deity Conceal started hovering (as the kid was taking it off), and the kid reappeared. Now we could observe the Deity Conceal with more detail (What? Anything else you want to observe here, you hentai?). It was the Deity Symbol, with a semicircular bar hanging under it, red colored, with 8 stars engraved on it. Hanging to this bar were at least 30 smaller, slimmer black bars, which resembled the eyelashes on a closed eye. So you could say this little artifact moved a lot.
The kid observed it closely. The artifact that had caused him so much troubles. But he had to. His boss had ordered him to steal all magic artifacts in sight.
He watched his white plate on his shoulder. The LED light pulsing in and out. And he sighed, not before putting up a face of "Let me think of my previous life at home with my family before I was enslaved by an evil warlock etcetera". That means, totally sad.
He put the artifact back on. We could see little drops of a transparent liquid coming from the thin air and falling to the floor. And you'll be called dense the rest of your life if you don't know what are them.
Tears...
The door to the boiler room was opened. There was a silhouette on the door. A slim, tall boy with really weird hair.
He walked in, and 4 really beautiful girls, each with a spray paint can on their hands, followed.
— Now, they told us that he was inside. Keep an eye on anything that floats and spray it down. —
— Yes, Duke. —
Duke Devlin was, while putting up a smile on his face, adjusting a pair of heat sensor lens. Obviously, he was blinded.
— Agh! —
He took them off, and sighed. He continued to walk, and the girls, containing the laughter caused by Duke's stupid maneuver, followed him.
They got to the boiler. They looked to the shelves. The 3 Millenium artifacts rested there still. They could hear snoring below, but they were uncertain.
— Who is making that noise? —
He approached to the boiler. Immediately he found that he couldn't move his foot anymore to the floor...
— AAAAGH! —
This noise was made by Duke, thinking the place was haunted. Then, they could hear metallic sounds of bare feet hitting the floor. Running away...
... or towards.
— Gaaa... — Duke was being strangled by the air, or so he thought. He concentrated all his strength and pushed whatever was attacking him away.
« CLANK! »
That something had hit the boiler. And that something's invisible flesh was burning.
— GRAAAAAAH! —
The invisible kid ran away, steam coming from his partially visible wound. And was sprayed red as the 4 girls were waiting in ambush mode.
He then ran faster away. He knew that the other side of the boiler room went straight to the pool. He went in...
...and was slammed right into the pool by a certain green-haired teen.
Saisyu invoked the powers of the Deity Form. (And no, there're no fancy scenes of power invocation involved in this.)
— Transform combination = Honda Hiroto plus anphibian! —
He then was transformed into a triton (thanks for the idea Microsoft Word spelling checker) and after that he dove in. There was a human-shaped bubble inside; one of the sides had a black spot, and the other a red one. The invisible kid.
Triton Saisyu didn't think twice and started punching like nuts.
He grabbed him by whatever part he was looking at and took the Deity Conceal off. He then hit the surface, grabbing the kid by the foot. He dropped him on the floor. He was choking...
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
He woke up. He thought he'd be in some sort of torture chamber at the mercy of his attackers.
He wasn't that wrong. He was at the infirmary.
He was laying on one of the beds, now dressed up (Hospital PJs) and covered by a warm quilt.
He turned his head around. Nobody was in sight. He tried to get up but was softly pushed back down.
Saisyu reappeared, as he was using the Deity Conceal (He was still dressed, you damn hentai community). He sat down on a chair near the bed and patted the kid's head. He answered silently, smiling and resting his head back on the pillow.
— By the way, what's your name? —
— Saisyu. Yours? —
— Samuel. You can call me Sam. —
— There are just 2 questions I want to ask. The first one is why? — Saisyu didn't look angry when he asked. He looked worried and caring.
— I was being forced by a certain warlock. He didn't give names. —
Sam turned aside on his bed. Saisyu opened his eyes a bit more as he noticed a bulge on the left shoulder, which reminded him of the second question.
— What's that white plate you have attached? —
— A tracker. I can't pull it off nor deactivate it. It shows the "master" my location. He probably sent down drones to pick me up. —
— You mean those men in black suits that asked for you an hour ago? I finished them off. —
— No, the drones I'm talking about have an insect-like look. —
— Oops... —
Both laughed.
— By the way, I had a third question prepared. May you take your shirt off please? —
Sam was startled about the question, but he did reluctantly. Saisyu placed his hand on the plate.
He closed his eyes...
...and pulled the plate off.
— GAAAAAH! What the hell did you...? —
Saisyu smiled as he showed him the plate, victoriously, in his hand. Sam cheered.
Then Saisyu looked at the back of the plate. He looked a little spooked.
He had taken pieces of skin off, which were fastened on by weird looking golden nails.
— It seems that we'll need more bandages... —
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
A silver car stopped in front of a big Victorian brown house that seemed to welcome visitors inside.
Saisyu opened the driver's door and got out. He then opened the door for Sam, who was 2 things: A) Still in hospital PJs, and B) really happy.
Sam looked at the house and nodded.
— Yeah, this is the one. Here lives my aunt, who may be able to help me find my parents. Thanks for the ride. —
— No problem. By the way, here's my e-mail address. As soon as you get one, stay in touch. —
— I'll do that. Thanks again. —
— No prob. —
Saisyu saw Sam running towards the door and be greeted by a woman who answered the door. They got in the house and closed the door.
— Mission accomplished. —
Saisyu got back in the car and got off, towards the airport.
He had flown to United States.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
The screen showed the Domino High infirmary, and a red square on the trashcan.
— I thought that the plate was gonna stay forever. Anyway... —
The woman at the screen looked 30-year old. She had silvery yellow hair and purple... skin. She kinda looked like a Harpy Lady. At her right side was a small cage with a bed in it. Resting there was Eickhte, who was still black and white from the punishment of the Deity Form. He looked paler though, and it seemed as he couldn't breathe well.
The woman got in the cage and put her hand on his forehead. She then looked sad.
— Minion, why are you getting worse every minute? Why are you suffering so much? —
Her voice was sweet and calm.
Eickhte just closed his eyes and submitted to sleep. There was no use on trying to talk, as his hadn't been able to make any sound since a week.
The woman was crying.
She, in the bottom of her heart, cared about her minions. She loved them, and wanted them to stay with her.
She then turned around. We could notice a big difference in her: Her hair turned red. Blood red. She slammed the cage with rage, waking Eickhte up. She typed in her keyboard, and the screen showed a really big weapon.
— I hope — she said, now with a deeper and more serious voice — that the weapon gets ready soon. But I need someone to design the operating system for me...
The screen showed a picture of...
— Seto Kaiba. —
