PART FIVE

Sounds of sawing escaped the still quiet of the forest, followed by various clunks and bangs. Then...

*Squeaksqueaksqueaksqueaksqueaksqueak...*

The French Flame Swordsman listened intently to these strange sounds. Drilling, then more mechanical noises. *Clang squeaksqueaksqueak...*

The door of the castle creaked open.

Three frenchmonsters whispered amongst themselves. ...whisperwhisper present? Let's go. Over here... They hauled the large, wooden Baby Dragon that rested outside the gate into their castle.

A ways away, Yugi crouched with his knights. What happens next?

Honda whispered back, Now, we wait until nightfall, when Jounouchi, Otogi, and I leap out of the dragon, taking the French totally by surprise. Not only by surprise, but also totally unarmed!

Yugi did a double take. Who leaps out?

Jounouchi, Otogi, and I- Honda began. The others looked at him murderously. Well, if we built this large, wooden Time Wizard...

There were a number of unexplainable thumps and squeals.

Run away! Yugi screamed, having spotted the airborne wooden construct flying towards their position.

The wooden dragon crashed down on yet another retainer, this one with spiky hair tied back with a bandana, and a second backpack.

The French guffawed uproariously.


Picture for schools, take eight.



A short old man, with spiky grey hair stood in the woods, narrating for a camera. Defeat at the castle seems to have disheartened King Yugi. Taken utterly by surprise by the ferocity of the French taunting, he became convinced that a new strategy was in order. Having consulted the duelists, he decided that they should separate, and look for the Head individually.

Hoofbeats sounded in the woods, growing closer.

This is what they did. Sir Jounouchi-

He was interrupted as a knight rode up to him with a cry and slit his throat.

A woman in a sweater ran towards the fallen historian.
