Chapter Eight: Play B Ball
Coach: Okay then, maggots; the name of the game of the day is Basketball. Team captains shall be Anzu and Morto. Anzu, first picks.
Anzu: Okay, I pick. Kenny, C.M., Yugi, Honda and Jounouchi.
Morto picked the bigger guys for his team and the game started. The big guys advanced on Kenny.
Morto: Just hand over the ball and you won't get trouble, kid.
Kenny: Why would I do something like that? I'm not stupid, in fact far from it.
Morto: Now you've done it, kid.
Morto punched Kenny unconscious, picked him up by the leg and swung him around and into the net that Anzu's team needed to score in. This disabled the team from scoring.
Meanwhile, C.M. was getting madder and madder. He slammed a button on the Millennium Chains, which catapulted the chains and grappling hook towards the net Kenny was in. He was about to chop the net off to free Kenny when.
Coach: STOP! Take Kenny out of that net, Morto!
Morto: But coach, I thought you hated that Pyroteck kid.
Coach: Don't question me; just get him down NOW!
Morto: (scared) Y-yes, coach.
Picking up Kenny, Morto set him down on the bench next to Anzu who was taking a rest. On the bench were two new students. One holding a sceptre looking item much like the Millennium Rod.
Coach: Anzu, take care of Kenny.
Meanwhile, the kid with the Millennium Rod look-alike and the coach were both saying,
"Coach": Now meet our newest students, Nazill and his brother, Lizaan. They will take part in the game in place of Anzu and Kenny.
Lizaan, the kid with the Millennium Rod, then released the coach from mind control and joined his brother on the court. They stood next to C.M. who could tell they had something about them too.
C.M.: Lemme guess. You two have Millennium Items as well.
Nazill: That is true. I have the Scales, Ankh and Padlock.
Lizaan: And I have the Rod, Tauk and Sphere.
Coach: Stop talking and just play ball.
So the game started again and Lizaan caught the ball. When the big guys tried to advance on Lizaan, he just stood there with his eyes closed as though in meditation. Morto and his team all piled on the ball and. stood completely in their position.
C.M.: What just happened there?
He walked over to Morto to check if he was even conscious and punched him in the stomach, risking a pummelling.
C.M.: They're all completely paralysed.
Lizaan: Such is the power of my Millennium Sphere.
Nazill: And now we win by default. And I'd better free them from paralysis. With the Ankh of course.
One moment, Nazill was standing next to Lizaan and the next he was gone. He was walking within the minds of the team members. One by one, he found their Mind Doors labelled "Consciousness Door" and unlocked them with his Key and Padlock.
