Pegasus is Stupid the dreaded sequel
Part 3
Let's review where we left off. Bakura stole Joey's Time Wizard and went back to ancient Egypt to find people to play with him and his … dead puppy.
Yami was leading an intrepid band of idiots to find Ash and Gary in order to get the Millennium Puzzle back and then use Ryou's Change of Heart card to turn Yugi good again.
Yugi is off to find Pegasus to replace Giovanni. (Pegasus loses Industrial Illusions he gains Team Rocket…)
Mai is off to find Joey.
Serenity was locked in the Shadow Realm by Bakura. She's probably there for good…
Ryou is waiting patiently with his magazine for his yami to come back.
With that, we can start part 3!
"Can I touch you hair?"
"No."
"Can I touch your dueling deck?"
"HECK NO!"
Misty was just about fed up with Yami's resistance. She needed another plan, since they obviously weren't going to Cerulean City anytime soon.
Nothing came to her. She would need to strive on a little farther in this epic battle of wills. Well, at least she knew his buttons to push…
Yugi stood at the entrance to the Domino City Hospital. Pegasus had been in a coma here since a break in at one of his many homes across the world. The only piece of evidence found was a rubber ducky with a non-existing address on it…
Yugi entered, knowing his purpose. He entered the hospital no problem. After blackmailing Nurse Joy into giving him Pegasus's room number by telling her he knew where Brock was, he went up the stairs to go visit the multi-millionaire.
Yugi found Pegasus' room easily enough. He found Pegasus hooked up to a bunch of machines that at one time Yugi had known the name of. At the moment, he didn't care. Yugi took out a small red and white ball out of his pocket and said the words that no one ever thought he would say, "Kadabra, go!"
The psychic pokemon appeared. "Kadabra, take Pegasus out of his coma." The Kadabra did as it was told. Surprisingly, it worked. Pegasus woke up.
"What… where am I?"
"You're with me, old man and if you know what's good for you, you're coming with me."
"Yugi-boy?!?"
"Don't call me that, freak. It's annoying. We're getting out of here." Now, keep in mind Pegasus has been in a coma thanks to a similar incident that happened to Seto Kaiba in the first fic. He has no idea what the heck is going on. More importantly, he's still in his hospital clothes. What will happen to the poor guy… err… rich guy? Will he change into normal clothes or suffer the same fate as Arthur Dent and have to wear his pajamas throughout three whole chapters!!!?? * Or books, whichever scale you're going by. Who knows, it hasn't been decided yet.
The two of them boarded the waiting helicopter that Yugi conveniently placed there before he broke Pegasus out.
"Okay, I play the card that is the guy in purple and has a staff!"
"Ash, you really should learn the names of these cards. We can't go on calling them what they look like forever."
"Never say never! Never give up, never surrender!"
"Ash?"
"Yeah, Gary?"
"You're way too optimistic for your own good."
"…"
"Wow. The great Pokemon Master is speechless. I am good!"
"Shut up, Gary…"
"There's another first! I may make something useful out of you yet!"
Days had passed since Bakura had arrived home. The first day home was fun, but no one wanted to play with him and his puppy. The second day the market place was totally empty. Bakura did make some friends with the royal guard, though. But by day three, no one wanted to talk to him.
Bakura was sad. He wished his aibou were here. Ryou would give him 'Happy Pills'. After Bakura took those, he would be happy again. Bakura was only allowed a Happy Pill once a week though. Ryou said they were made of pure sugar and not to be taken lightly. Bakura once saw the label for the Happy Pills. They were really called 'Pixy Circles'. ****
For now Bakura sat in the middle of the street, staring at the dead puppy before him. Bakura took off his Millennium Ring and threw it a distance. Then said two words to his puppy that signaled to the villagers that they would be hiding in their homes for a very long time. "Fetch, boy!"
Back at the county fair, Ryou felt a painful jolt. Ryou's eyes widened. A jolt like that could only mean one thing.
Bakura had taken off the Ring…
Ryou panicked. Yami and the others were long gone by now. There were only two people in the party that were still in the park. Joey and Mai. He had to find them, fast. Ryou ran as fast as he could in the direction where Mai had gone off in search for Joey. Suddenly, something shiny caught Ryou's eye. Ryou went over to the stall to find that it was the classic game of knocking over the milk bottles with a baseball. Taking a closer look at the prizes, Ryou gasped.
There before him was the Manacle of Osiris. The prize board said you had to knock over all three bottles to win it. Win it? Ryou couldn't believe it. All he had to do was knock over three silly milk bottles and the chance to prove paranormal archeology was his!
But what about his yami? Ryou was faced with the hardest decision in his life. Follow his life's dream and prove himself to the world or do the morale thing and find Joey and Mai to find his yami. Ryou started to sweat. How could he decide? Eventually, Ryou's conscience got the best of him and he ran off to find Mai and Joey.
Meanwhile Mai had found Joey asleep on the teacup ride. Awwww, how cute, she thought, Wait, NO! I can't think like that. I need to concentrate on my mission! Indeed, Mai was right. She did need to concentrate on her mission and Joey looks really cute when he sleeps!
Mai heard Joey mumbling in his sleep and decided to listen before she made her move. "mmmmmmmmmbmbbmmbmbbbbb *snore* yeah, yeah, OHHHHHHh, Yeah! Gigantic Raisins!!!!" ***
Mai sweat-dropped. She poked Joey awake.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh! THE ALIENS ARE COMING!!!!!!!! They're coming to take my pizza!"
"Settle down, Joseph!"
"Mai?"
"Yes, it's me Joey."
"What are you doing here, Mai?"
"I'm here to give you what you deserve, Joseph! I really hope you won't take this the wrong way, but I'm giving this to you whether you like it or not!"
With that, Mai grabbed Joey and dunked him in order to give him the biggest French kiss the world has ever seen. Joey was surprised at first, but then lost his balance and Mai continued to kiss Joey full on the lips on the ground.
This went on for a while. They would have gone on a lot longer if it hadn't been for Ryou showing up.
Ryou himself could hardly believe it was happening. "Mai? … Joey!?" The two stopped what they were doing to stare at Ryou while the white-haired bishie's eyes were ready to bulge out.
"Hey, Ryou… "Joey managed to say, " What's up?" Ryou shook his head.
"Now isn't the time to be asking questions. My yami took off the Millennium Ring! He's not sane enough to realize his very existence is in danger! Now, while you two look for him, I have a prize I need to win." With that, Ryou disappeared into the crowd leaving a very confused Mai and Joey.
The two really had no idea what to do, so they went back to French kissing… nothing more, just kissing… rather passionately…
3 hours and $210 later…
"I must defeat the milk bottles…" Poor Ryou had been after the Manacle for quite some time now and he was getting pretty annoyed.
"Look, buddy," said the game keeper, " there are other people waiting in line to play this game. Let someone else take a try at it." Ryou looked up at the gamekeeper, then at the rather long line of people behind him, waiting to play the game.
"Alright," said Ryou very unRyou like. " If you all want to play a game so badly, I'll play a game with you. But if I win, I'll send all your souls to the Shadow Realm, just like this…" Without a second thought, Ryou sent the gamekeeper to the Shadow Realm. When Ryou turned around, the line was gone.
"Good." With that, Ryou resumed his battle with the milk bottles.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors! Rock, Paper, Scissors! Rock, Paper, Scissors! Ha! I win two out of three, Tristan!"
"Three out of five then, T'ea!"
Yami was about to lose his patience. You could tell. T'ea and Tristan were constantly arguing and Misty was continually trying to hit on him! If they were back in ancient Egypt this problem would have never erupted. Although it was very tempting at the moment to send everyone to the Shadow Realm, Tristan and T'ea weren't really doing anything wrong and he needed Misty to find the boys with the Millennium Puzzle. It was all very frustrating.
Another reason he couldn't send them to the Shadow Realm, he didn't have the Puzzle.
"Yami, you're hair is nice and silky… and warm… and OUCH! Really pointy!"
Yami chuckled. At least he still had some defenses.
Pegasus was still very much confused. Yugi had explained it all to him in a very short amount of time, something about taking over a multi-million-dollar company of thieves.
Pegasus looked down, he was still in his pajamas. More then a few things disturbed him. One, Yugi Moto was now an evil maniac. Two, he never did find Rika to have a re-match and three, and what did that girl mean by 'you will be honored to be in my next fanfic'. Pegasus didn't know what a fanfic was, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to find out. All he remembered was going into a coma after the girl had done something horrible. He also vaguely remembered Seto Kaiba being there.
The helicopter touched down and he and Yugi got out of it. It was a large building. Men with Roman battle armor on guarded the doors.
Yugi smiled. His ingenious plan was working perfectly. Soon he would prove to the world that he could survive without the menacing spirit of the Puzzle. That would be wonderful revenge, but the real prize, would be taking over the world. And to start, he would take control of Team Rocket. With Pegasus, Industrial Illusions, then the Turtle Game Shop, then the Rare Hunters, then the world! Of course, there was always the added bonus of getting all the millennium items.
Meanwhile, back at the fair, Giovanni was waking up from his traumatic episode with Bakura and his dead puppy. Looking over to the side, he noticed a small rubber, bouncing ball. Upon closer inspection, he noticed there was an address on the rubber ball. Forgetting about the events earlier, he picked up it to find the mysterious address.
"Hey, freak! Nice necklace! Makes you look real manly!"
Gary was having a very difficult time maintaining his pride. Not only did he wear an upside down pyramid around his neck, he was sharing a body with his rival. In any other situation, that would have been sick, but the whole thing had been forced upon them.
All Gary did was walk around, resuming his mission to be the best pokemon trainer in the world, while his rival tried to figure out how to play the stupid card game. Ash wasn't having much success, being the dense one he is.
/Gary, this is boring! You come in here and help me figure this card game out!/
// I refuse to help you, of all people. I'm trying to be a pokemon master here!//
/But that's my dream! Besides, I don't want to be stuck in this thing all day!/
//I can't let you out, people will notice the difference.//
/Awwwwww…/
//Like I said, I'll make something out of you yet, loser.//
/I miss Pikachu…/
//Wimp…//
As the two merrily walked along, they encountered a band of four travelers. Ash recognized one of them.
/MISTY! Hey, what's she doing with that one guy… is she…/
//Yes, Ash. Your girlfriend is hitting on him.//
/I'm going to kill him, Gary, if you don't mind./ he said almost too calmly.
//Not at all….//
As Gary worried about Ash's sanity, which we all know was lost a very long time ago, Yami noticed the two…err. Actually, he would only see Gary, but, well, you know what I mean. Yami noticed the Millennium Puzzle around Gary's neck.
"Misty?"
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"Is that boy who we're looking for?"
Misty was rather disappointed. The search was over.
"Yes. that's Gary."
Yami smirked unnaturally. "Gary Oak! I demand you give me back my Millennium Puzzle!"
Gary beamed. "You want it? You can have it!" Just as Gary said the words, Ash suddenly took over.
"Ash?" questioned Misty.
"You, with the unnatural hair!"
Yami growled, no one, and I mean no one, insulted his hair like that.
"If you want the Puzzle back, you'll have to battle me for it! You gave it to us in the first place without asking, you can't just waltz back in and take it back so easy!"
"Fine. I'll battle you for the Puzzle."
At the exact same time, Ash pulled out the dueling deck and Yami took out a pokeball.
"Let's Go!"
The Obscure Battle…
Both boys started out with three heart points each.
Yami called out Bayleaf.
Ash summoned the Kuriboh.
Upon seeing their former masters, Bayleaf (who would forever be Ash's 'love monkey') glomps Ash. The Kuriboh goes over to Yami, stares at the former Pharaoh for a moment, then cuddles in his arms, and cries. This is all very, very cute. Both competitors sweatdrop and continue the game, even though the Kuriboh refuses to let go of Yami.
Yami started out. He rolled a pair of die. "Ha! A pair of threes! Do not pass go, do not collect $200, Go directly to jail!"
"Blast you," replied Ash as he rolled a hexagonal die. "A 7! That means I'm out of jail and since the jail is so close to your heart points, I think I'll have to take one out using… The Dark Magician!"
"No! Not my favorite card!"
"Yes, now Dark Magician… DARK MAGIC ATTACK!"
And one of Yami's heart points disappeared.
"Ash, you stupid moron! Why can't you just let Yami win so I don't have to travel around with you anymore?!" yelled Misty
"There is no way that I'm letting this… pointy haired freak control my life! This is revenge! Wait a minute, I thought you liked me?"
"When did I ever say that? You're a moron Ash Ketchum and there's nothing anyone can do about it!"
"Well, you're a pig-headed red head!"
"SAY THAT TO MY FACE!"
"YOU'RE PIG-HEADED!"
"That's enough!" interrupted Yami. "We have a game to finish. And I plan on keeping my title of King of Games, so both of you shut up so we can get this over with!"
"But, sweetie…"
"AND STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
Ooooooo, suspense! What will happen next? Who will win the game that makes absolutely no sense? (It'll get worse, trust me) Will Ryou defeat the milk bottles and get his yami sane again? Will Yugi succeed in taking over the world? Will Pegasus be stuck in his pajamas for the rest of the fic? Will Seto and Mokuba ever make an appearance in this fic? Will Tristan and T'ea end up killing each other? What will happen to Giovanni and the poor villagers in Egypt? And what does 'the girl' and the rubber items have a connection with? And where is Kaiba?
When will I learn to stop? Why am I doing this? Why are you reading this? Wouldn't you rather be reading 'Lost Souls'? When will the next chapter be out?
… I DON'T KNOW??? DON'T KILL ME!
* Ummm, you would have had to read 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy' (all five of them) to understand that one, or at least up to the fourth book.
*** Sorry, 'Gigantic Doughnuts' is copywrited. :-)
**** Pixy Stix only in little circles…
Yami-chan: Heh heh heh. *glomps Bakura and Priest Seto*
