AN - Back again and running out of ideas, which means that the story is
nearly over, sigh! Sequels are being thought of though, yay! So please
read and review!
As the dust cleared in the warehouse Yugi saw for certain that Mark had lost. There were no monsters on Mark's field whilst, for some unknown reason, Yugi's Maiden was still standing, surrounded by some glowing light.
"No!" Cried Mark. "The Dragon Tamer. But that was only a legend, a myth. That card doesn't exist! I never thought that it did! But there it is, the card I have searched for to destroy for years."
"I don't understand. Why do you call this card the Dragon Tamer, it is the Mystical Maiden, a weak card. I should have lost." Said Yugi.
"The Mystical Maiden is the general term for that card." Explained Mark sullenly. "It was once rumoured that to be able to combat the powerful dragon cards that he created, Maxamillion Pegasus created one card, The Dragon Tamer. The object of this monster was for it to look like any other normal, if slightly weak card. But when faced with a dragon, it repels the attack and turns it back onto the dragon, but with three times the power. That card is The Dragon Tamer in disguise, trust Pegasus to come up with something like that!" Mark jumped off of his platform and looked at Yugi. "I shall battle you again. And when I do I will find a way to beat that card!"
With that Mark ran towards the far side of the warehouse, and before Tristan, Ryou or Yugi could stop him, he had disappeared through a side entrance.
"Well done Yugi!" Exclaimed Ryou. "But where did you get that card from?"
"It was a present from a friend." Said Yugi quietly.
"Well anyway Yugi, we should get back. We left Serenity alone at your house and she will be getting worried." Said Tristan.
"OK. Just let me get my deck." Called Yugi as he reached for the cards on his duellist area. He recalled The Mystical Maiden, but nothing happened. She remained floating above the playing field, surrounded by an ever- brightening light.
"Hey Yugi, what's going on?" Asked Tristan.
"I don't know. The Maiden won't return to her card." Replied Yugi.
"Maybe there's a fault with the system!" Called Ryou. "Here, I will cut the power from down here!" Ryou crossed to where the main circuitry of the duel arena was. Opening a hatch he located the main power switch and flicked it off. Suddenly the light around the Maiden became brighter, so bright that Yugi leapt down from his platform and stood with Tristan and Ryou, shielding his eyes. When the light dimmed and they looked up, the Maiden had disappeared.
"That was weird!" Exclaimed Yugi as he clambered back up to the platform to collect his deck. "I wonder why.Tristan! Ryou! Come and look at this!"
"What is it Yugi?" Asked Tristan as the two climbed up to stand with Yugi.
"Down there!" Yugi pointed to the floor of the arena. Lying in a crumpled heap was what seemed to be, a real life Mystical Maiden. Somehow she had escaped from her card and was now sprawled, unconscious, below them.
"Quick. Let's get down there and help her!" Shouted Ryou as the three made their way towards the motionless figure.
"She's.she's human!" Whispered Yugi, lightly touching the lifeless girl. "But she has a pulse, and she is warm."
"Let's get her back to your house!" Said Ryou to Yugi.
"Shouldn't we call an ambulance?" Asked Tristan.
"And say what? That a duel monster just fell out of its card?" Replied Ryou sarcastically.
"Good point!" Said Tristan, picking up the girl lightly. "Let's go."
At Yugi house, Serenity was hugging Tea. They were sitting in the living room.
"What happened Tea?" Asked Serenity. She had not been able to find this out when they had been in the shop. She had quickly closed the shop up and led Tea upstairs, where she cleaned and bandaged her cuts and bruises and gave her some painkillers. She had wrapped Tea in one of grandpa's old jumpers and given her a mug of sweet, strong tea.
"I.I." Began Tea. She really wanted to tell Serenity the truth. "I fell down the stairs at home. It was stupid of me, but I just lost my footing and slipped."
"Wow, you must have fallen pretty badly!" Observed Serenity.
"There is a table at the bottom of the stairs. I fell into it and a few things fell on top of me."
"Oh right." Said Serenity; satisfied with the answer she had received.
"So, what did you say about Yugi?" Asked Tea, now much more relaxed. Serenity had cheered her up and, luckily, Bakura wasn't there.
"He went missing over an hour ago. Tristan and Ryou went to look for him. I'm really worried, I hope." Serenity was cut off by the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. "Who is there?" She called out nervously, standing to face the door. Behind her Tea shrank back into the couch, hoping against hope that it was Bakura.
The door opened and the girls saw Tristan stood there, the girl's body cradled in his arms.
"What happened?" Asked Serenity, running over to him.
"Long story." Muttered Tristan. "What can we do with her?"
"Put her in the attic bedroom upstairs." Said Tea.
"Here, I'll come and try to work out what is wrong with her!" Said Serenity, following Tristan up the stairs.
Yugi and Ryou slumped onto the sofa with Tea.
"Hey, what happened to you?" Asked Yugi, looking at Tea's cut and bruised face.
"What? Oh, I fell down the stairs. I'm OK." She looked at Ryou. "So, what happened out there?"
As Ryou and Yugi explained what had happened in the warehouse, Tristan and Serenity were standing over the body of the girl, which was laid on the spare attic bed that Tea had slept in the night when Yami and Yugi had separated.
"Is she OK?" Asked Tristan.
"I think so. I think that she is unconscious. She is very weak though, but I can't find anything physically wrong with her."
"Looks like we will have to wait until she feels a bit better before asking her some questions."
"I don't know about that. When she wakes up she will be confused and disorientated. I think it would be best if, when she wakes up, she only had contact with a few of us. Yugi should be one of them; maybe Tea and I should be the other two. I know first aid and Tea is a great agony aunt."
"I think you are right. Come on, let's go and leave her in peace."
"No. You go. I will stay here in case she wakes up. If she is on her own when she wakes up we don't know what she could do."
AN - Will Tea ever tell the truth about Bakura? Who is this strange creature from a duel monsters card? Find out more next time folks! Keep reviewing ;-) !!
