Chapter 9 - Weapons
"So it's really beginning…" the strange woman murmured," The Legendary Battle…" She took one more look at the Magic Knights. "Why are there five of you?" She asked puzzled.
"Well.. uh.. you see…" Yami began to explain the whole thing about the
millennium items, and the shadow games, which took almost two hours
Cephiro time. ( Who cares how long that is?)
"I guess that makes sense," She said after the explaining was done.
She walked over to one of bookshelves where a ring was connected to a piece of a string. She pulled it down and the cage slowly rose. "Welcome, Legendary Magic Knights!" she announced, "I'm Presea, Chief Artisan of Cephiro," Mokona bounced toward Bakura and gave him a little hug. Bakura smiled and returned the hug. "Judging by the smile on Mokona's face, there's no mistake," Presea stated.
"About what?" Yugi asked.
"Guru clef contacted me and told me if the Legendary Magic Knights come, provide them with weapons," she explained.
"You mean we can get weapons here?" Yugi exclaimed
"I am an Artisan, my job is to make weapons and armor." Presea replied with a smile.
"You can make weapons?" The two Yamis and Seto asked, raising their eyebrows as if they wouldn't believe her.
"Of course!" Presea replied.
"Let me guess, if Clef told us to get weapons here, does that mean that he'll be paying for us or are they free?" Seto asked.
"Who said free?" Presea asked. The all crashed down, except for Bakura, who was already sitting on the floor.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch," Seto murmured under his breath. Yugi searched for money inside his pocket, but all he could find was the candy that Tea gave him during lunch before the fight began. He walked up to Presea and handed her the candy.
"I left my wallet in my backpack at school. I don't have any money with me," he said sadly, "only this candy." Presea was shocked. She keeled down pushed Yugi's hand back.
"I don't need money," she replied.
"But you said it's not free!" Yugi said in surprise. Bakura was holding onto Mokona, who seemed to be attached to him.
"Follow me," Presea led the gang out of her study, and walked down the hallway.
"It's not free but she doesn't need money?" Seto asked, confused.
"Maybe we're supposed to work off our debts," Yami suggested.
"W- W- Work?" Seto stumbled out the word while he imagine Yami Bakura in an apron with a broom, Yami with a mob, Yugi and Bakura in a chef's hat and apron cooking, and him doing the laundry. "I REFUSE TO WORK! AS THE CEO OF KAIBA CORPORATION, I REFUSE TO DO WORK!" Seto yelled. They five began to hurry after Presea, where she was opening a door. She revealed thousands of weapons and armor inside.
"You made all these?" Yami Bakura asked, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Yep!" Presea replied proudly.
"Too cool," Yami said.
"Well, choose a weapon," Presea said.
"I thought you said they weren't free!" Seto accused.
"I told you I don't need money," Presea repeated herself.
"Then what?" Bakura asked.
"Choose your favorite weapon here, but I'm only lending them to you, they're not yours," Presea began.
"Not ours?" Yugi asked.
"The weapons I made are not just for anyone," Presea continued. "each and every weapon is made for just one person, and only for that specific person," she explained.
"So these weapons…' Yugi was cut off by Presea.
"Yup they are not yours,' She began again. "I'm going to make special weapons just for you five!" The five boys looked astounded. "So, take a look around and choose one weapon you like!"
"But you just said that these aren't ours…" Yami said, sweat dropping with confusion.
"But it would be a suicide to leave the 'Forest of Silence' without any weapon," Presea stated.
"So, what's next?" Yugi asked.
"I told you," Presea said as she place her index finger on Yugi's nose. "I'm going to make weapons that only you can use."
"Yes you told us that," Bakura said.
"In order to become true Magic Knights of the Legendary Battle, I'm going to make the best weapon ever!" Presea exclaimed.
"Thank you!" Yugi thanked her happily.
"So…' Presea said, "go out and get me the materials!" The five boys crashed down onto the floor again.
"Materials?" Bakura asked, still sweat dropping.
"It's a rule here in Cephiro - when warriors or knights request a new weapon from an Artisan, they must bring their own materials," Presea replied calmly.
"So that's what you meant when you said you don't need money but it's not free," Seto remarked as he got back up.
"So, what kinds of material are there in here?" Bakura asked.
"We need to follow the legend and use the legendary mineral,' Presea said.
"The Legendary Mineral?" Yami Bakura repeated.
"The legendary Mineral called Escudo, the only material in Cephiro that can be use to make evolving weapons,' Presea replied.
"Evolving weapons?" Yugi asked confused.
"Weapons made of escudo evolve according to the strength and mental power of their owner," Presea explained.
"What a deal! You don't need to trade in for better weapons!" Yami Bakura observed with a snap of his fingers
"But," Presea began, "if the owner doesn't evolve, the weapon won't either."
"If you think about it, maybe it's just easier to buy weapons each time. They'll work even if the owner doesn't evolve," Bakura commented.
"In any case, in order for you to become Magic Knights, you have to use
evolving weapons and evolve with them, because evolving weapons are the key to reviving the Spirits," Presea explained.
"Spirits? Keys?" Yami said, looking very confused.
"Didn't Guru Clef tell you anything?" Presea narrowed her eyes and looked at Yami.
"When Guru Clef was telling us, one of Zagato's beasts attacked, he stayed behind to fight while we escaped," Yami told her sadly, looking down to the floor.
"Clef!" Presea's face was now full of concern. She sighed. "He knew, that's why he left Mokona with me,"
"Clef told us to come here and find weapons," Yugi began," I couldn't hear him well, but I think he meant to have you make us weapons."
"He told us to become Magic Knight and save Cephiro," Bakura added.
"I don't know much about Cephiro yet," Yami started," but we owe it to Clef for saving us."
"We'll go find the materials," Seto said.
"So please make weapons for us," Yugi begged.
"Of course," Presea replied happily, "I'm counting on you five to save
Cephiro.' She looked behind them and sweat dropped," Well maybe not him…' Presea pointed to Yami Bakura who was trying to grab and shove every weapon into his
pants, shirt and everywhere else. "Now that's decided, get going!" Presea said, ignoring Yami Bakura.
"Where do we find Escudo?" Seto asked as he was pushed by Presea.
"There," She whispered into his ear.
"Where's there?" Seto asked.
"There can only be one place!" Presea shouted in excitement, Seto winced in sympathy for his poor ear "The Legendary Spring --- "Eterna!"
"Eterna?" Yami repeated.
"Many warriors have searched for Eterna to find the legendary mineral Escudo," Presea said in a serious tone, "but none have retuned."
"What?" Seto exclaimed, everyone froze as a breeze brushed through them.
"Haven't returned..?" Seto said.
"Nope, no one," Presea nodded her head, and giggled, "that's why you need to take weapons!" The boys began to follow Yami Bakura's lead and started grabbing as much weaponry as they could except for Bakura, who was still holding Mokona.
"You can take them all," she said as she watched the boys, "but can you use them all?" They all dropped the weapons.
"I know! We can use our duel monster cards!" Seto said.
"What? You're going to duel those monsters?" Yugi exclaimed, "besides, all our cards are inside our backpacks at school!"
"Then we can use Magic!" Yami Bakura exclaimed.
"Magic won't work here," Presea answered.
"Why not?" Yami asked.
"Magic spell don't work here in the 'Forest of Silence'," Presea
"Gimme all those weapons!" Seto and Yami Bakura cried.
"Look at the weapons closely," Presea continued, "You'll see which weapon suits you, you'll know," She said as she watched the five young warriors looking through the weapons. "The weapons will call you."
Finally, a sword called Yami and Yugi, a rapier called Seto, a bow with arrows called Bakura, a whip went to Yami Bakura. The weapons were sucked into each of their glove jewels, the five looked confused.
"It's gone?" Yami Bakura asked.
"It's all right. Your clothes were made by Clef, right?" Presea stated calmly, "the weapons were sucked into your glove-jewel. When you need them, the weapons will appear in your hand."
"So, how do we get to Eterna?" Seto asked the others.
"Let's just use that huge beast that took us here," Yami suggested.
"I said magic doesn't work here," Presea repeated herself again, this time a little bit annoyed.
"But that beast took us here!" Yugi said.
"That's only Guru Clef's trick. Clef's magic is strongest in Cephiro. So that beast made it here safely," Presea explained again. "I'm sure it's gone now…"
"So how do we get there now?" Bakura asked.
"Mokona will guide!" Presea announced.
"PU!" Mokona said happily. Bakura jumped a bit.
"I've just been watching Mokona until you arrived. Guru Clef told me to give Mokona to you," Presea said.
"Is that thing strong?" Seto asked doubtfully.
"You'll see," Presea giggled," Mokona has the essentials for your trip." Presea said as she tapped on Mokona's jewel on its forehead.
"Can this thing even talk?" Yami Bakura asked.
"I think I understand him," Bakura said as Mokona snuggled in his arms. They all walked out of the house to see if that beast was still there.
"She's right, the beast's gone," Yami said. Yami Bakura cursed under his breath.
"Thank you, Presea," Bakura said as he bowed to Presea.
"Magic Knights summoned from another world," Presea asked," please tell me your names!"
"Yugi," Yugi said pointing to himself.
"Yami," Yami said.
"Seto," Seto said behind Yami.
"Bakura," Bakura said with a smile.
"Yami Bakura," Yami Bakura said as he pushed everyone out of his way.
"Yu-gi, Ya-mee, Se - tou, Ba-ku-ra, Ya - mee Ba-ku-ra," Presea said "bizarre names... Safely bring back Escudo," she reminded, "I promise I'll make you the ultimate weapons." She looked down to Mokona, who was still in Bakura's arm. "Mokona, take good care of them,"
"Pu, Pu," Mokona replied.
"Bye!" the five boys said their goodbyes and left. Presea stood and watched as the five figures disappeared into the 'Forest of Silence'.
"May Princess Emeraude bless them," She prayed.
