Chapter 2: The Revenge
Two years have past, and the Zombie gang has never returned. People are happy to hear that. They sing, dance, and get drunk in peace. Yami Bakura sweeps his office porch to rid of dust. Malik helps him by wiping the windows.
"Sheez, 2 years and the Zombie gang hasn't come back." Malik scrubs the window with some water.
"2 years shumo years. They could be gone for at least 15 for all I know." Yami Bakura snorts batting his hair aside. "Dog gone varmints so stupid messing up my land..." Malik pauses looking at the teen. He shrugs going about his work. Kaiba watches his younger sibling with the other children. Pegasus plops his rear end next to handsome brunette.
"Ahh... Kaiba boy such a wonderful day now isn't?" Pegasus smiles drifting off into space. Kaiba scoots away leaning against the building post.
"Um... yah... sure beautiful." The teen chuckles nervously stroking his brown bangs. Sheriff Yami strolls along with his loyal pet horse. Deputy Yugi rides on the horse keeping watch of the town.
"You there! Sit up straight! And you! Pull up you pants! YOU, um... missed a spot!" Yugi smiles cutely patting the horse. Yami shakes his head laughing under his breath.
"You do a good job keeping our town in tip top shape." Yami throws his hat off wrapping the string around his neck. As the hat hangs behind his back.
"Of course I do for I am Deputy Yugi." The young tri-colored boy takes a deep breath making his chest larger. He exhales coughing a bit. Yami parks the horse by a manager pouring water into it. The horse begins to drink as little Yugi hops off. He dusts the dirt off following the sheriff to the saloon.
"Ahh... taking a break huh?" the sheriff stretches leaning against the post.
"OH! Sheriff Yami what a pleasant surprise." Pegasus smiles sweetly, free from La-La land. Kaiba rolls his eyes as Mokuba sits on his lap.
"This town can't be any prettier." Yami tosses his blond bangs back. Yugi sits on the railings looking up at the sky. Fluffy cumulus clouds slowly travel the blue sky. Making shapes of animals and objects.
"Hey sheriff Yami!" some people wave joyfully riding their horse carriages. Yami gives a wink tucking his hands in his pockets.
"I guess I won't be watching the town as much anymore... since the Zombie gang isn't coming back." The teen cracks his shoulders by circling them.
"I hope that's the truth." Mokuba adds holding his toy.
"Oh its definitely the truth I'll tell ya that!" Yami Bakura snaps back picking his ear. Malik nods tucking his thumbs in his belt.
"Are you really sure?" Yugi questions the sliver hair one.
"... What am I wrong or something?" the mean teenager continues, "Did you read the script before I did?"
"Maybe they have..." Malik whispers in his ear, rolling his purple eyes.
"Shut your mouth you..." Yami Bakura growls at the other teen. Yami and the rest glare in deep confusion. Joey walks by looking at them. He shrugs passing by, but Kaiba trips him. And the boy crashes into the saloon, destroying everything in his path. Pegasus ignores the mess, and skips inside the saloon. Kaiba stretches his body out, picking Mokuba from under the arms.
"Well, I'll be going now... see'ya later." Kaiba leaves with Mokuba in his arms. Yami waves and Yugi copies. They head back to the sheriff's office with their horse.
"AH! What an afternoon!" Deputy Yugi yawns cracking his back. "I can't wait to hit the sack..."
"I sure can't wait either... tomorrow is going to be a big day for us." Yami agrees lifting his cowboy hat away from his face.
"Really how come? The young boy asks lying on the horse's back. Yami looks up at him, and messes up his hair.
"Don't you remember? Tomorrow is the 'Duel Monsters: Blue Eyes vs. Red Eyes' annual festival."
"OH YAH! I almost forgot, how could I possibly forget!" the deputy squeaks slapping the side of his face with a hand. Yami chuckles placing one thumb inside his belt.
That Night,
"Night big brother." Mokuba yawns tucking himself in bed. Kaiba smiles kissing his younger sibling on the head.
"Night Mokuba."
At the dentist/doctor/barber shop, Yami Bakura locks the front door. He opens his mouth shallowing the key. Patting his slim stomach he says,
"Ahh... it'll take a couple of days to get that one back... but I have extras." He sniggers slamming himself in bed. He snores away to sleep not bothering to pull the covers over himself. Malik sits up from his bed and looks at the teen.
"My poor sad little friend."
In Ryou Bakura's place, the sliver headed boy pulls his shirt on for bedtime. Joey and Tristan are fast asleep in their beds. Little Bakura tucks himself in shutting off the lights.
At the sheriff's office, Deputy Yugi puffs his pillow, rubbing his head against it.
"Oh wonderful bed... I love you." He plops in bed tugging the covers over him. Yami looks at himself in the mirror giving a smirk. He slowly pulls his shirt off and as he bends over to grab something, Yugi screams falling off the bed. Yami looks at Yugi on the floor,
"Are you alright deputy?" he questions looking at the little boy.
"Uh... yah... I'm all right. Night sheriff." Yugi gives a nervous laugh climbing back on the bed. The sheriff cocks an eyebrow setting himself in bed.
"Good night deputy." He kills the lights. Leaving only the moon's light left in the room. They sleep for the next days most boring, stupid, yet exciting activities.
Next Day,
The festival begins at 6 o' clock PM sharp. The towns people get up early to prepare for this wonderful moment. Yami and Yugi keep track of all the people's work. Ryou Bakura hangs the streamers from the rooftops, and Joey decorates some posters with Téa. Mokuba paints the banner with Mai and Tristan. Kaiba, Serenity, and Pegasus tape the finished posters and flyers on the buildings and posts. Isis and Mako Tsunami prepare the food. And the others pull up the main banner, which reads:
'Blue Eyes vs. Red Eyes'
Annual Festival
Malik and Yami Bakura drag in the dragon models made by the children of the town. They set them under the banner, Blue Eyes White Dragon on the left and Red Eyes Black Dragon on the right.
"GEEZ! What are kids coming to these days?!" Yami Bakura pants as he falls over on the saloon steps.
"I dunno an end?" Malik smiles giving a shrug.
"This oughta be the best festival yet this year." Yugi hops up, "I mean Blue Eyes White Dragon vs. Red Eyes Black Dragon."
"Indeed." Yami agrees placing his hands on his hips. Yugi nods stupidly scratching his side. The townspeople happily cheer and sing as they work. Yami Bakura scowls covering his ears.
"MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!"
"Oh you're going to have to get used to it Bakura. This is going to be a long day for us." Yami gives a thumbs up towards the sliver hair boy. Yami Bakura ignores the sheriff by smacking his head on a wooden post constantly. Malik slaps his forehead in irritation. Yugi sniggers as his large hat covers his head. The people skip along and sing, (excluding Yami Bakura and Malik).
Later that afternoon everyone finishes the last touches on the town. People clap their hands happily on what they've have accomplished.
"... Man one more minute... and I've wasted my life..." Mokuba sighs looking at the big clock tower. Everyone goes back home taking a rest for the big night.
"Oh this is going to be so EXCITING!" Yugi jumps up and down with glee.
"Only two more hours..." Yami acknowledges placing the tiny deputy on the horse.
"Ahh... man..."
"Stressful isn't it?"
"Yes..." Suddenly a loud scream breaks through the silence. Yami and Yugi jerk up running to the scene. A woman shivers as she has fallen over on the dirt.
"WHAT THE HECK!" Yugi hollers calming their frightened horse. Yami leaps over the fence in the ranch running up to the woman.
"What happened!?" he asks the scared lady.
"My husbands cattle! The Zombie gang is stealing my cattle." The lady responds passing out. Three members of the Zombie gang attack the herd of cattle with whips. Yami sneers hopping on his brown horse. Yugi gets a doctor out of no where pushing him towards the lady. The deputy leaps on the horse as he gallops towards the idiots. The gang rounds up the cattle and run off with them.
"SHEEZ! I thought they were long GONE!" Yugi hollers in confusion.
"I thought so too!" Yami answers as his horse charges towards the enemy. The gang laugh in glee as the cattle start a stampede.
"YEEHAH!" Cid yells whipping some cows.
"Get along little cow!" Bones smiles but he blinks as he hears the sheriff's horse behind them. "Guys the sheriff got us!"
"Not this time!" Zigor snickers shooting a gun towards the good guys. They dodge the bullets as Yugi pulls out Yami's pistol and begins to shoot.
"STOP YOUR EVIL DOING YOU EVIL DOER!" the deputy calls out to the poop decks. The Zombie gang ignores them, and Zigor continues to shoot. Yami smirks as his horse tags close behind Cid's horse. He slightly stands on the foot petals, then jumps on Cid. Cid's horse nays loudly crashing to the dusty ground. They wrestle and gnaw each other on the dirt. As for Yugi is left with the shooting maniac and the short poopy head, named Bones. Yugi gulps dodging all the bullets hitting the ground. Then little deputy seeks a rope as he does a lasso. Zigor blinks at the tactic, then shoots half way near the horse's hooves. It nays frightened rearing up on its hind legs. Making Yugi slide off messing up his whole strategy. The sheriff's horse calms down standing next to Deputy Yugi.
"Oh fiddle lee Dee... I saw it on those western movies." He snorts folding his arms frustrated. Zigor and Bones give a high five as they continue on with the herd.
"Heh... we lost them!" Zigor laughs placing his gun back in his waist belt. Miraculously a lasso wraps accurately around Zigor. He pauses looking behind himself. Sheriff Yami holds the other end of the rope on Cid's horse.
"I don't think so..." he gives a smirk reeling the ugly man in. Bones' eyes expand as Zigor flies off his horse. He turns around but smacks face first into a tree. The horse runs off as the boy is left hanging on the tree unconscious.
Few Minutes later, The three dorks are thrown in jail as Yami locks the bars. Everyone that saw the sight claps their hands in joy.
"You get to deal with 'him' later." Yami gives a wink towards the prisoners. They shiver at the thought hiding in the dark corner.
"You thought you can out smart us huh!?" Yugi resumes his speech, "Well guess what YOU DIDN'T!" The townspeople, sheriff, and deputy leave the town jail outside. Yugi looks at the clock hoping time has gone by. He blinks and finds that it only past fifteen minutes.
"Aww! Dog GONIT!" he snorts kicking a tumbleweed, but his foot gets caught in the twigs. Yami Bakura growls folding his arms across his stomach.
"Shoot yo... they stole my dag gum idear..." he continues, "And I was planning to have beef tonight."
"No kidding?" Malik chuckles wrapping an arm around his best friends shoulder.
Later that Night,
Deputy Yugi snores away in his sleep, tossing and turning in his bed. The clock strikes 5:59 PM. Yami taps the little boy on the shoulder whispering tenderly in his ear.
"Wake up Yugi." The deputy yawns looking up at the sheriff.
"Yami? What time is it?"
"It's... 6:01."
"6 o' WHAT!"
"Well 6:01... OH! It changed to 6:02."
"OH GOSH DARNIT! I'M LATE!!!!!!" Yugi screeches leaping out of bed getting into his best clothes ever. Yami watches with a sweet smirk on his face. The deputy charges left and right across the room with his shirt, shoes, pants, hat, coat, etc. He pants and smacks against the door of the room.
"O.K...how do I look?" Yugi smiles posing for the sheriff.
"Swell..." Yami gives a thumbs up towards the little one.
"Now let's shake what OUR Mama gave us!" the deputy yells in glee zipping on outside.
Fireworks blast and crackle in the evening sky. The townspeople cheer at the sight. Drinking sodas, wine, beer (o_0), and Pegasus' finest drink... fruit juice. They eat chicken, beef, chocolate cakes, moose funnels, and even some old fashion ice cream. They dance to the beat of Ryou Bakura's music. Deputy Yugi blushes as Téa asks him to dance with her. Joey, the terrible duelist, claps his hands singing a tune as Tristan plays the violin.
"Swing your partner round and round then plop'em to the ground." The blond resumes, "Then once their dead then you knock'em to... uh..." Joey taps his head in stupidity, "Hey Tristan what rhymes with uh... dead?"
"Hmm... St. Ned." Tristan responds a bit confused himself.
"Oh kewl... Then you knock'em to St. Ned! YAH!" The boy continues his song as Yami stands close by watching the deputy get his groove on.
"Hey Yugi!" the sheriff calls out to the young one.
"Yeah?!" Yugi responds over the crowd in joy.
"Shake what your mama gave ya!" Yami snickers doing a demonstration. Yugi gives a gesture of appreciation, continuing to get his groove on. Yami smirks tossing his blond strands back looking at the sky. Everyone dance, sing, eat, drink, chat and more in joy. Suddenly, a smoke bomb flew through the sky spreading its toxic substance across the sky. People cough and run in fear. Yami jerks up tossing the smoke away from his face. Deputy Yugi looks around hollering,
"WHAT THE HECK!" he snorts coughing some more. Then fire crackers burst across the sky as fire sparks crash to the dirt ground. The people scream in horror running for cover, till the Town jail blows into flames. The townspeople squeal stampeding through the roads.
"HELL! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLES!" Yami Bakura roars folding his arms.
"What do you mean what's wrong!? There's a smoke bomb! There's mutated firecracker slash METEORS! And the Town Jail blew up to pieces!! Is that enough information for yus!?" Malik snaps back at the dark one. Deputy Yugi hops on the sheriff's horse as they gallop to the scene. People take buckets full of water splashing the flames out. Then out of the smoke leaps out Bones, Zigor, Cid and the mighty Bandit Keith. They charge on their horses shooting their guns and tossing deadly bombs to nearby houses. People scream in horror running for their lives. Yami and Yugi fight back shooting their guns also.
"Ha ha! You think you can defeat us!" Bandit Keith laughs blowing a whistle. More enemy cowboys run through... guns in hand.
"OH SHOOT! They brang reinforcements!" Yugi exclaims loading his pistol.
"That Bandit Keith... you can always count on him having an army." Yami sneers recharging his gun. The Zombie Gang give out war calls destroying the town to pieces. Yami Bakura and Malik look at each other then at the burning city. They gulp, rush out into the desert, and hide in a ditch.
"This is all your fault you idiot." Yami Bakura whimpers hiding his head under a rock.
"MY FAULT!!!" Malik growls at Bakura.
The gang resumes their revenge on the town as the town crashes to the earth in heat. The sheriff and deputy try their best to turn the whole thing around. Protecting it with all their might, but they sadly fail. The gang leaves leaving the city in ruins. The people come out crying as they have lost everything they had once possessed and loved. Mokuba wipes his tears away hugging Kaiba's waist. Joey, Tristan, Téa, and Ryou Bakura sigh sadly looking at the ghostly town. Yami watches the buildings fall apart and the debris flows across the sky. He snarls clutching his hands into a fist.
"BANDIT KEITH!" he yells viciously. Deputy Yugi looks up at the sheriff sighing sadly.
Intense huh? Well that very night Sheriff Yami gathered the townspeople for a brief meeting. They plan to make the Zombie gang shut down forever. So Yami and Yugi has their army of brave warriors to go with them.
First Joey the terrible duelist, Tristan the mighty, Kaiba rich man of the west, Isis best female swordsman, Malik the handsome bitter male of the west, Yami Bakura the man-eater, and last but not least Mai the waitress of the Monster Saloon. I guess that means we shall move on to chapter 3.
