PART FOURTEEN
The duelists entered the cave, and began to search about for a clue as to the whereabouts of the Head of Exodia. Finally, Yugi stumbled-
-upon some carvings in the rock...
There! Look! He pointed at the scrawled letters.
What does it say? Jounouchi looked at them in confusion.
Otogi peered over his shoulder. What language is that?
Yugi waved Malik forward. Brother Malik! You are a scholar.
The platinum haired monk stepped forward and scrutinized the carvings. It's Kaibacorpic!
Otogi smacked his forehead. Of course! Bhigephife of Kaibacorpe!
put in Jounouchi.
What does it say? questioned Yugi.
Malik turned his attention back to the stone. It reads...'Here may be found the last words of Bhigephife of Kaibacorpe. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Head of Exodia in the Castle of...uuuuuuuuuggghhhh.'
The company blinked. asked Yugi.
Malik looked at it again. '...the Castle of uuuuuuuuuggghhhh.'
What is that? Honda asked.
He must have died while carving it. Malik replied, a tiny grin teasing at his features at the thought.
Oh, come on! Jounouchi sighed in exasperation.
Well, that's what it says. Malik gestured at the rock.
Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve aaaagh.' He'd just say it! Yugi waved an arm in imitation of writing.
Well, that's what's carved into the rock! Malik put his hands on his hips.
Perhaps he was dictating. Otogi spoke up.
Oh, shut up. Does it say anything else?
No, just,
Do you suppose he meant the Camaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaague? asked Honda.
Where's that? Otogi asked in return.
ThDhek, I think.
Isn't there a Saint Raaaaaaaaaaaaaa in Wherledefdharknhaes? Jounouchi added.
Yugi shook his head. No, that's Saint Dragon.
Oh yes. Saint Draaagon.
echoed the duelists.
cried Honda in the midst of their Draaaaaaaaagoning.
Jounouchi waved at him. No, no. Aaaaaaugh' at the back of the throat. Aaaugh.
Honda shook his head. N-no. No, no, no, no. Oooh' in surprise and alarm.
Oh, you mean, sort of an
Yes, but I- aaaaah! Honda exclaimed.
The duelists turned to see what exactly it was that had Honda so worked up.
shouted Yugi.
Otogi screamed.
A horrible beast was before them, like a thousand-eyed albino walnut balanced on a top, and a strange orifice in the front. It's main eye stalk bobbed up and down in a most disturbing fashion.
Malik looked up at it in shock. It's the legendary Black Relinquished of Aaaaaaaaauuugh! He trailed off as the Black Relinquished sucked him into itself, in what appeared to be an eating.
That's it! That's it! Honda cried, jumping up and down hysterically while pointing at the thing.
Run away! Yugi ordered. His duelists were only too happy to comply.
Run away! they yelled.
The thing thumped forward, eliciting a number of rather girly screams. Run away! Run away! Run awaaaaay!
Keep running!
The Black Relinquished chased the fleeing duelists through the maze of caverns. They managed to get ahead of it a bit, and ducked around a gigantic stone pillar. Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!
We've lost him. whispered Honda.
The duelists leaped up and fled further.
As the horrendous Black Relinquished lunged forward, escape for Yugi and his duelists seemed hopeless, when suddenly, the animator suffered a fatal heart attack.
*thump*
The anime peril was no more. The quest for the Head of Exodia could continue.
