A Bone to Pick.
Me: No, this is not dead, it'll continue whenever I get stressed out.
Joey stared at the computer. It had been months since any of the cards had 'expressed' themselves and he was bored. Everything had gone back to normal as far as his friends knew and he wanted to change that.
Finally he typed up a short ad and left it with his deck. He knew that Flame would see that it got distributed.
'Wanted: Fed up Card with a bone to pick. Must be willing to come into mortal realm. We supply means and compensation, you supply place and person.'
The ad was answered before Joey got home. When he did, he saw his warrior sitting on his bed with a card.
"Know any museums?"
Joey grinned.
Rex entered the museum and headed straight for the dinosaur exhibit. He was glad that someone had sent him the flyer announcing the opening day. Ever since he had lost the duel to that blond beginner, he hadn't been himself.
Hopefully this would make him feel better.
'Think again, human.'
He looked around but he was the only one in the room.
"Okay, I'm losing it."
'You mean you've already lost it.'
"Hey! Don't insult me!"
'It's not an insult if it's the truth, I mean you are speaking to an empty room after all.'
Rex looked around. The voice was right. Besides the dinosaur skeletons he was alone. He looked around some more and then something shifting behind him caught his attention. He spun around.
"Hah! There is someone here-"
His sentence trailed off as he watched the towering skeleton of the T-Rex seem to sprout another head. The two heads turned and looked down at the shocked human.
'So I lied. You are not alone. Now then, we need to talk.'
"But,"
WHACK!
A display case fell over from the impact of the skeletons tail hitting it. It narrowly avoided falling on Rex who decided that if he was hallucinating, he wanted to snap out of it really quickly.
'I'll do all the talking.'
'You mean we, don't you?'
One head looked at the other. The first one nodded in apology.
'Of course I meant that, my apologies. We are a set. Now then, we are quite pissed off at you. Just because we are dinosaurs does not mean that we can't think.'
'You only use us as brute strength. You don't care for us.'
"But you're just a card."
As soon as the words left his mouth he knew it was the wrong thing to say. Both heads turned and stared at him and he could hear the growling even though his eyes told him it was impossible. The King had snapped.
'First you insult us by letting us die to a bug!'
'Then you use our beautiful cousin the Red eyed Black Dragon as a bargaining chip!'
'Now you insult our very existence?'
Rex ran, but you can't outrun a massive two-headed King Rex. He was whacked with the tail and got tossed into a display of smaller dinosaurs. These dinosaurs started to bite his ankles and when he kicked them he found out that they were 'baby' dinosaurs and mommy wasn't too happy. Mommy chased him around the exhibit hall, causing him to crash into another dinosaur and thus the cycle continued.
The two heads were content to watch their mortal cousins, aided by a bit of magic, chase the human down. They weren't causing him any physical harm, although they wouldn't say the same for his mental state. When they felt he had gone through enough, and they had run out of the popcorn they were eating during the show they ate him whole. But being a skeleton, Rex just landed in the hollow of their rib cage.
Needless to say security did not believe Rex when he tried to explain how the exhibit had been ruined and how he ended up inside the dinosaur, which once again had only one head.
'And in other news, Dueler Rex Raptor was caught defacing a dinosaur exhibit in the museum. He announced today that he had quit dueling and is now booking himself into a nice padded room-'
Yami reached over and turned off the radio.
"I guess things aren't quite over yet."
The pharaoh looked around.
"Where's Joey?"
"Probably with Mai. He was the only one the cards actually helped out."
"While embarrassing him completely."
The friends looked at each other. Finally Seto spoke.
"Our list of suspects is slowly growing smaller. Anyone willing to change their bets?"
A round of hands went up and new bets were laid.
Meanwhile Mai was with Joey who had gone grocery shopping.
"Joey. Why do you need all this meat?"
"Extinction will cause a person to go hungry."
"Did you say exhaustion?"
"Yep. Why? What'd you think I said?"
"Nothing."
Me: Mindless, pointless and so much fun to do! Sorry if people were left waiting.
Me: No, this is not dead, it'll continue whenever I get stressed out.
