Chapter 7
The Gauntlet Is Thrown
Disclaimer: I dun own Lifehouse, the website w/ pictures of chibi Malik, or any of the fics I may make reference to, Harry Potter, or Kidz Bop.
Y. Mojobubbles: Konnichiwa, minna-san!
Mojobubbles: KIDZ BOP IS EVIL!!!!!!!!!! EVIL I TELL YOU, EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All: (blink) O_O
Mojobubbles: Thank you. Oh yeah, does anyone notice what's different about me?
Y. Mojobubbles: Oh no, not this..
Yugi: What did you do?
Mojobubbles: Can't you see? (tosses hair)
Joey: Uh...you lost weight?
Mojobubbles: I will pretend I didn't hear that, you insensitive pig.
Yami: You got a new shirt? You got new makeup? You got braces?
Mojobubbles: No... (tosses hair in Yami's face and it smacks him)
Yami: Hey, careful with that!
Malik: You should talk, Mr. My-hair-doubles-as-a-lethal-weapon.
Mojobubbles: ARGH! YOU BAKANA KISAMAS! I GOT MY HAIR CUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All: Oh.
Mojobubbles: What do you think? It's a little past my shoulders now, and I got some layers in it.
All: It's very nice.
Mojobubbles: Malik, ask your yami what he thinks! Ask him!
Malik: Ok, ok! Geez....
**In Y. Malik's Soul Room**
Malik: Hey yami, can you-
Y. Malik: GET THE F**K OUT OF MY SOUL ROOM!!!!! CAN'T YOU SEE I WAS SLEEPING, YOU F*****G ALBINO EGYPTIAN?!
Malik: Ok, later then.
**Back outside**
Mojobubbles: Well, what did he think?
Malik: He thought it was..nice. (shifty eyes)
Mojobubbles: Kura-chan, ask your yami!
Kura: All right, but he's not going to be happy. (summons his yami)
Y. Bakura: What the hell do you- (sees Mojobubbles' hair) AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mojobubbles: (eyes get all shiny and tear-y) That wasn't (sniffle) nice.....
Yami: I suggest you apologize, tomb robber.
Kaya: Yeah. She tortures the characters when she's mad at them.
Y. Mojobubbles: Plus, she's gonna start crying reeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllly loud.
Y. Bakura: O_O Good point. (to Mojobubbles) Uh, sorry, I, uh, didn't mean it....I know how to make it up to you! (summons Pegasus)
Pegasus: (sees Y. Bakura and starts spazzing)
Mojobubbles: (giggle)
Y. Bakura: (chucks Pegasus against the wall)
Mojobubbles: YAY! Ok, I forgive you!
Y. Bakura: Thank Ra. (goes back into Soul Room)
Y. Mojobubbles: Anyway......Malik's mad at us.
Yugi: Why?
Mojobubbles: I found a website that has all these pictures of Malik.
Lawyers: (advancing on Mojobubbles)
Mojobubbles: AND I DON'T OWN THE WEBSITE!
Lawyers: Damn....(back away)
Y. Mojobubbles: But, these are all pictures of Malik when he's, like, 8 or 9, and he is soooooooooooooo adorable!!
Mojobubbles: Like, there's this one where Malik just discovered TV, and Isis is practically dragging him away from it, and there's this other one of Malik hugging Isis, and he's all mad at us for spazzing at the pics and mad at Isis for not burning them.
Mojobubbles: Speaking of Malik, I got to do some explaining: I am stuck with the American dubbed version, and therefore don't know Malik's dubbed name, and I'm just calling him Malik.
Y. Mojobubbles: Actually, his name should be Malik in the dubbed version. Here's why: in Japan, there are no L's, instead it's R's. So, Malik becomes Marik in Japan, so his name would translate to Malik in America.
Mojobubbles: Yeah. What she said. Anyway, from all this various information, I am utterly confused as to how old Malik and Isis are now in Battle City, and how old they were when they were, um, "zapped" to the 21 century. So, this is what I am doing for this story and the rest of this trilogy. When Malik was 15, and Isis was 18, Yami was also 18 and he made the Millennium Items. The Tears of the Dolphin necklace came first, and Kaya took it when she was 13, almost 14, and came to Johto in the 21 century. Then, Yami, Malik, and Isis got their souls trapped in their respective Items, and then they popped out in the 21 century, bladdy blah...you know what happens after that. I know part of it isn't true, but I think there is some truth in my explanation, and....yeah.
All: O_O Sure. We'll go with that.
Y. Mojobubbles: OMR! These author's notes are FIVE PAGES LONG!
Mojobubbles: Yami, that's our record!!!!!!!!!!
Review Responses:
Ancient Enchantress: Y. Mojobubbles: Nope, don't know anyone named Ancient Enchantress!
Mojobubbles: Yami! Of course you do! Like you could forget, Ancient Enchantress let us glomp Yami! Speaking of Yami, Luna says she'd like to comfort you.
Yami: That's, um, nice.
Blue Mystic Moon Warrior: Hm...you have a point. But then Malik would've died too. ^^U Dunno about his yami, though.
Y. Mojobubbles: BMMW gave you presents! Yugi gets stilts.
Yugi: That's mean. -_-
Mojobubbles: For Yami, a me plushie! SQUEE!
Yami: Uh, thank you?
Y. Mojobubbles: For Malik, here's a sign that says, "I am Kirstie's so hands off you bakayaro!" For Bakura, a glomp. _
Mojobubbles: For the Fruitcakes, (you know who you are) a life. For Brock, a map.
Brock: Where does it lead!?
Mojobubbles: Go follow it.
Brock: Ok. (follows map) (falls off cliff) AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mojobubbles: For me and my yami, we get Dr. Pepper, Pop Rocks, and a YAMI CD!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!
katiekat1414: (helps her up)
Malik: Tree roots are EVIL! EVIL I TELL YOU! (wacks a random tree root with the Millennium Rod)
Mojobubbles: The insane vegetable thing got started cuz I read this fic THAT I DON'T OWN called Mystery Yu-Gi-Oh! Theater (it was taken down...sniff) and there's this part when Pegasus says, "I'M NOT A FRUIT! (long pause) I'm a vegetable." So me and my friends use vegetable to describe gay fruity people. ^^U We must have ESP or something cuz I was just thinking 'bout you and I got a e-mail saying you reviewed!
Y. Mojobubbles: You were /thinking/ of her?! Ew...
Mojobubbles: No, you hentai* (*pervert), I was thinking about reviews and stuff then I remembered katiekat1414 was the one who had the idea of Togepi sleeping in Bakura's hair, and for Yami and Kaya to sing "Hanging By A Moment". Gomen nasai*! (*Thank you very much!)
*******************************************
Joey, Tristan, Tea, Bakura, Ash, and Misty had gone off to find Kaya. (A/N: They haven't seen Malik yet, remember?) Kaiba and Mokuba had decided to stay with Yugi and Yami because....they felt like it. Mokuba, however, soon got bored, and went off to find the others. Kaiba, Yugi, and Yami sat in awkward silence.
"So......" Yugi said, trying hard to make conversation, "nice weather today." Kaiba blinked.
"Yeah....." he said.
More awkward silence.
"I thought she looked familiar," Kaiba said. "Kaya, I mean. I thought I had seen her before, I just didn't know where."
"So....." Yugi looked at Yami. The spirit was awful touchy at the mention of Kaya. "You mean you remember her from ancient Egypt?" Yugi said finally. Kaiba nodded.
Once again, more awkward silence.
"Setoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!" someone called.
Kaiba looked up. "Mokuba?"
Mokuba ran to them and flung his arms around Kaiba's waist and sobbed.
Kaiba crouched down and put his arms around Mokuba.
(Mojobubbles: Awwwwww..
Y. Mojobubbles: Yeah, we dun hate Mokuba that much. But someone else does....someone who likes....blenders...BMMW knows what I'm talking about...(shivers) that was nasty....)
"Mokuba, calm down and tell me what happened," Kaiba said softly. Mokuba took a shaky breath.
"I just...I found them....they just....I couldn't do anything!" he sobbed, burying his head in Kaiba's shoulder.
Yami came over. "Mokuba," he said, "we need you to show us what happened." Kaiba was slightly surprised at the gentle tone of the spirit's voice.
Mokuba nodded, and they walked off, Mokuba clinging to his brother's hand.
**********************************
"See?" whispered the messy, black haired boy.
(Harry Potter: Just like me!
Mojobubbles: Out! Out! Out! (shoves him out) Wizards....)
Eight bodies lie scattered on the ground. Yugi gently flipped one over and stared, his heart skipping a beat.
Joey was staring straight back at him.
He saw another one, this one was Tea.
Another was Misty.
Kaiba pointed to one. "This is that Egyptian kid from Battle City, ne*?" (*Right?) Yugi nodded.
"That's Malik...but I have no idea where he came from."
Yami stood there, frozen in place. He ran to one with dark brown hair. Yami put his arms around the small figure and held her close.
Yugi stepped forward, and his breath caught in his throat. "I'm sorry..." he whispered. Yami clenched his fists.
"I failed," he said hoarsely. "I promised I would always protect her, and I failed. And now.....they're all dead. Our friends, my sister....."
"It's not your fault," Yugi whispered.
"They're not dead!" Kaiba said loudly, startling them all. Yami put his fingers on Kaya's wrist and felt her pulse.
"Thank Ra..." he murmured, too relieved that they were alive to actually ponder what had happened. But Yami, being Yami, pulled himself together and went into ponder-mode.
Kaiba stared at Bakura. His eyes were expressionless and stared straight ahead. Kaiba's eyes widened in shock and fear.
"Their souls are gone," he murmured.
"Very nice, Kaiba-boy!" someone said. "I see you've found your little surprise."
"Pegasus....You sick bastard!" Yami shouted.
(Mojobubbles: Language, Yami.... T_T)
"Temper, temper!" Pegasus said, shaking his finger at Yami.
(Mojobubbles: No no no, Yami!)
"Let them go," Yugi said, his voice low and quiet, not at all like Yugi.
"How about I duel you for them?" Pegasus asked.
Yami, let's do this! Yugi said.
But, Yugi, you know what happened the last time we dueled Pegasus..... Yami replied, biting his lip.
But what about our friends? What about Kaya? And imagine how Isis is going to find out that her little brother lost his soul! Yugi said. Yami didn't reply. C'mon, Yami. Yugi wheedled. You got to at least try.....what kind of big brother would you be if you didn't at least try?
"Pegasus," Yami said. "We accept."
No one had noticed that Mokuba had slipped away. If Yami and Yugi were going to duel Pegasus, they would need a little help.
