Chapter #14: Let the Games Begin.
*~*~*Elaya's POV*~*~*
"Bye you guys! See you all later!" I called as I waved to the blue car from my veranda as it drove away. I walked inside my house.
"Mom?!" I got no answer. She must be at work. So, I went to my bedroom and put my dress on again along with the shoes and sash. I even put on some accessories like this gold necklace that my mom gave to me when I turned thirteen. As I stood in the mirror, Justi appeared in that holographic form wearing the same clothes as me.
"Don't you look nice." She said with a smile.
"Hey, Justi, do you think that anyone will dance with me?"
"Who did you have in mind?"
"No one.just anyone." I said. "Would you want Yami to dance with you?"
"It wouldn't matter. He won't remember me at all. I'm surprised that he even knew his own name." I laughed.
"What does the Pharaoh's sword look like?" I asked all of a sudden. Justi made a small smile cross her lips. She put her hand over her shoulder and abruptly a handle appeared. She took out the sword from its holder that was strapped to her back.
The sword was huge. The blade was all shiny and silver and at least a meter long. The handle was gold with green and red gems all around it. It was truly magnificent.
"Whoa." I said. She put in back into its holder and it disappeared. "Maybe," I started, "the sword can open the Shadow Realm or some other world."
"That is what I expected. But I never got a chance to check my theory. Elaya, I've got a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen." but before she could finish, someone knocked on the door. Still in my dress and shoes, I went to the door. The person was knocking the entire time. When I opened the door, no one was there.
"Hello?" I called out from porch. "Anyone there?" It didn't make any sense. Someone or something kept knocking at the door until I opened it. That gave the person zero time to make an escape. I shut the door and looked at my watch. It read 4:30. My mom should've been home by now. Where is she?
I tried calling Joey to see if he saw anyone knocking at my door, but there was no answer at his house. I also tried calling Téa but, once again, no answer. I went back into my room, got redressed into black pants and a yellow tank top and went back into the kitchen. I was going to call my mom's cell phone and ask her what's up when I noticed a grey sheet of paper on my fridge. I let it fall to the floor after I read it.
Hello Justi. We meet again after so long.how are you my sister?
I have taken your host's mother in order for you to come to me. If you
don't come, she will be lost in the Shadow Realm for all of eternity,
adding to my power. If you wish to see her come into the alley at the corner of 5th Avenue and Centre Road. This is no joke.I was always serious,
don't you remember? Bring your pathetic duel deck in case I feel like
duelling for the souls and minds of your friends and family.
Goodbye.
I grabbed my jacket and duel deck and ran out of the door.
*~*~*Seto's POV*~*~*
"Finally, done" I whispered and I ran my hand through my hair. I just finished proofreading a letter about my VirtuPod system to send to the marketers. It was finally ready. I finally got rid of all the glitches that the Big Five placed in there. Now, this gaming system was just a headset that you could bring anywhere. All you had to do was plug it in. I shut off my laptop and went into my workshop to check on them.
Funny. Where's Mokuba? I don't hear him running around. He's probably in his room doing homework. I went upstairs. "Mokuba?" I called into the hallway where his room was. As I went closer to his room, there wasn't a sound in there. I tried turning the handle, but it was locked. I pounded on the door furiously "Mokuba?!?" Once again, no answer. A wave of anxiety washed over me.
"Jesus Christ.MOKUBA!?" I pounded on the door. I finally got the brains and decided to push his door in. The lock snapped on contact and I was in his room. But he wasn't.
"Mokuba?" My eyes scanned the room for any sign of movement. He wasn't in here. I took the steps to downstairs in twos, checked all the doors on the other floors, asked around, and then ran out towards my workshop. It was already getting dark and it wasn't even five o'clock yet.
My heart was pounding as I entered my workshop. Nothing and no one was in here. My portable VirtuPod system was gone. My little brother wasn't in here. All that was there was a little sheet of grey paper on the floor of the room. I picked it up and it read:
Hello Seth. Doesn't it just suck to lose the people you love? Your family
and friends for instance. Well, now you know how I feel.
I have taken your 'VirtuPod' system to the alley at the corner of 5th Avenue and Centre Road.along with your brother. He is in the Virtual World
right now with me.being held prisoner for a brief period of time before it's off to the Shadow Realm forever. This isn't a joke, Seth, it may be virtual but it is as real as it gets. I have changed your system to fit my needs. If you wish to see your brother again, I suggest that you come with
your wretched duel deck.
Goodbye.
I scrunched the piece of paper up and ran out the door.
*~*~*Yugi's POV*~*~*
"Grandpa? I'm home!" I called into the game shop. I got no response. He must be sleeping or in the back room. I went upstairs in my room and put my suit away. I checked if I still had the tie.and I did, thankfully. Even though prom was in May, I still didn't think that it was enough time to gather the nerve to ask Téa to dance with me. It would look weird. Téa would have to dance on her knees in order to dance with me. It's not fair.
\ Yugi? Is there something wrong? \ Yami asked me suddenly. I guess that he could feel my sadness.
/ No, it's okay. /
\ I'm sensing evil around here. \
/ You mean Dieen? / Oh no.not her.
\ Where is your grandfather, Yugi? \
/ I-I don't know. He didn't answer me when I came home. /
\ Oh no.Yugi you need to find him. He might be in trouble. \ I took off and searched every room in the Game shop. No sign of him. I began to worry as I raced to the phone to try and call the others. Joey, Tristan, Téa and Elaya were not home. Whoever has taken Grandpa has taken them too! I walked slowly to the back room to find a grey letter on the floor in front of it. It read:
Hello Pharaoh. I warned you.and now I have come. I have taken your host's grandfather and friends in order for you to come
to me so I can take your Puzzle. I need all of them for power and your Puzzle to unlock the two worlds. If you want to see them again, come to the alley at the corner of 5th Avenue and Centre Road. Come with your pitiable duel deck.because we are going to take a trip to the Virtual World. Won't that be fun? This is no joke Pharaoh.soon, your reign will be over and mine will start. You should have surrendered when you had the chance. Oh well.
Too late.
Goodbye.
"No...no..no" I whispered to myself as I grabbed my deck and jacket and headed out of the Game Shop.
Running at top speed to 5th Avenue and Centre Road, I arrived there in 20 minutes. That's when I heard someone behind me.I whirled around to see Elaya running. She slowed to a stop.
"Yugi?!" she said after catching her breath. "What are you--?"
"Joey, Tristan, Téa and Grandpa got kidnapped and I need to go to 5th Avenue and-"
"-Centre Road.into the alley.right?" she interrupted.
"Yea. I got this note."
"Me too. Dieen stole my foster mother."
"Foster mom? You mean that you're an orphan?" I asked surprised.
She nodded. "A house fire killed my family. Come on; let's go before it's too late!" She ran past me and I chased after her.
"Elaya?" I asked as we ran, "What does Dieen want with you?"
"She wants her sister back.and the power within her and the Scales. She wants the Puzzle from you, right?"
"Yeah. Is that Kaiba?" I noticed a tall boy wearing all black with a purple trench coat running into the alley where Elaya and I were supposed to go into. 'We are going to take a trip to the Virtual World' Is that why Kaiba was here? Did Dieen take his VirtuPod system.and Mokuba? But why?
"I think that was him. Why is he here anyways?" Elaya asked as we both turned into the alley. It was very dark inside so me and Elaya slowed down a little and looked around.
"What are you two doing here?" a male voice asked in the darkness.
"Probably the same reason why you're here, Kaiba." Elaya said.
"Where are the VirtuPods Kaiba?" I asked.
"The whats?" Elaya asked. I guess her note didn't say that we were taking a trip to the Virtual World.
"Around here somewhere." Kaiba answered as he walked away from us, going further into the darkness. As we followed, I explained what a VirtuPod was to Elaya until we came to a clearing.
"Are those it?" Elaya asked, pointing to three headsets on the floor.
"Yeah. But, in order for those things to work, they need to be plugged in to a generator of some sort." Kaiba reasoned.
"Then why are they on?" I asked him as I noticed little lights going off inside the headgear.
"I don't know." Elaya walked cautiously towards one and put it on. The head gear covered her eyes nose and a bit of her mouth and her entire forehead. There was also an arm attachment where you would put your duel deck in.
"Well, come on! I want to save them.don't you two? This is the only way."
"What if this is a joke? That the kidnappers are buying themselves more time while we play in the Virtual World" Kaiba alleged.
"Because the kidnapper that has all of them doesn't joke around." Elaya said. Kaiba sighed as he went towards the second headgear and put it on. I followed and did the same. It looked almost the same as the VirtuPods that Mokuba, Joey and I went into a year ago to save Kaiba except there wasn't the chair or the Pod for that matter attached. The familiar voice of a computer said that we should insert our duel disks in the little compartment at the end of the arm attachment. Before any of us knew it, we were in the Virtual World.except we were surrounded by darkness.
*~*~*Reader's POV*~*~*
"Welcome to my Virtual World!" a voice said from in front of them. But there wasn't a mouth that the voice belonged to. Elaya, Seto and Yugi all stood in a line and watched the smoke pour out from the walls and create Dieen.like in their dreams.
"Where's my little brother?!" Seto shouted to the ghostly figure.
"They are all in a dungeon somewhere in this Virtual World. You'll need to find them first." In an instant, Yugi transformed himself into Yami and Elaya did the same with Justi.
"Dieen." Justi started, "Let them go. All of them."
"But that would ruin the fun of it. Now listen carefully if you ever want to see your friends and family again. You'll need to navigate your way through this Virtual World in order to find them by using those things you call duel decks. And no, the Egyptian God cards cannot be used.they aren't registered into the system. Isn't that right Seth?"
When Kaiba didn't answer her, she went on, "If you do happen to find them, then you'll have to duel me in order to escape.and I chose my challenger. You each receive 4000 Life Points as usual. Any questions?"
"Why are you using my Virtual World System anyways?" Kaiba asked harshly.
"It is the only way you mortals can see me without being in the Shadow Realm. And being the Queen of it, I obtain certain powers. My good sister, with the further aid of the Millennium Scales is able to take away pain. But I have the power to redirect it. So be warned.any pain you inflict on me, will go to your loved ones. I can also shape shift."
"Why are you doing this Dieen?" Justi asked shaking her head.
Dieen smiled. "To get what I want. Revenge.and power. Both taste much sweeter when served cold." She laughed. "Good luck. You'll need it. I'll be off to care for your friends." She then disappeared and left all three of them alone in the darkness.
As soon as she disappeared, Kaiba made a dash into the darkness.
"Kaiba! Wait!" Yami cried. "You shouldn't go in there alone!"
Kaiba stopped and said "I need to find my brother. This is my system."
"No, it isn't. Dieen has taken over it Kaiba. You can be walking into a trap." Justi replied. "We need to save them together. As a team."
"I work alone." Kaiba said bitterly. "I don't need your help." Justi and Yami walked towards Kaiba until they were standing in front of him.
"Whether you like it or not, we're in this thing together." Yami said. Kaiba didn't respond. Justi and Elaya switched again. "Come on.the sooner we're out of the dark the faster we'll find them."
After a couple of minutes of walking in the dark, the three of them arrive at a fork in the path.
"Where to? Left, right or centre?" Yami asked. Elaya held out her Scales in front of her and asked Justi to find her sister. After all, wherever Dieen was, so were the rest of them. The Scales began to glow and the disks moved up and pointed to the centre line.
"This way." Elaya said. The three of them followed her into the dark tunnel. \I hope she knows what she's doing.\ Yami thought.
After a couple of minutes of travelling, Seto said, "Where are we now? How do we know that this is the right way out anyways?"
"We don't know if it is the right way. That's why we need to work together." Yami said.
"I don't want to hear another one of your teamwork speeches Yugi.and what's the point? If this is the wrong road, then we all get trapped and there will be no one left to save any of them. What then? What will we do then?" Seto responded.
"Hey, guys.I see the light!" Elaya called from in front of them. Their only light source was the glow from the Scales and the Puzzle. Now, a few feet in front of them was a large circular white hole. "This must be the way out of this dark tunnel!" [Finally!] She thought.
They all began to run towards the light. It was the way out because as soon as all three of them emerged out of the tunnel, they found themselves standing on a high cliff without a lot of room.
"Whoa!" Elaya cried as she almost fell over the edge. Luckily, Yami pulled the collar of her jacket and pulled her back.
"Now what?" Seto asked angrily.
"Well, if we can't go down or back, we'll go up." Yami said lifting his head towards the virtual sky. "I call upon the Curse of Dragon! (2000/1500)" Yami took out the card from his deck, held it in front of him and the dragon appeared.
"I call upon the Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress! (1400/1200)" Elaya shouted and did the same as Yami did and a small light blue dragon appeared.
"I call upon the Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)" Seto cried as a large blue dragon appeared behind them. They all climbed aboard their different dragons and took off into the sky. [Don't worry guys] Elaya thought. [We're coming for you.]
*~*~*In the Dungeon.Reader's POV*~*~*
"Where are we?" Joey asked aloud. Mokuba, Tristan, Téa, Grandpa and Elaya's mother stirred and finally awoke.
Mokuba was the first to talk, "I think that we're in my big brother's new Virtual World game. It's a new version, different from the others that we've travelled to, but I can tell."
"Very good little one," a voice called from behind them.
"You!" Joey shouted pointing a finger at the spirit who was standing at the bars of their cell. He knew that this was the thing that slashed him months ago.
"You know, it's very rude to point."
"Let us out this instant!" Elaya's mother, Teresa ordered.
"Come on, I'll duel you for our freedom!" Joey offered as he held out his deck.
"I'm sorry.but I'm already expecting a duellist to fight for your freedom."
[It must be Yugi, Elaya and Kaiba!] Téa thought to herself.
"Your friends are coming to save you.no wait, let me rephrase that.Your friends might be coming to save you." Dieen made a little white ball appear in her hands. Inside the ball showed where Yugi, Elaya and Seto were. She frowned. [Huh.they already got out of the dark tunnel. Oh well.they are still a long way from here.]
"BIG BROTHER!" Mokuba yelled as he saw him riding on his favourite dragon.
"He can't hear ya Mokuba!" Tristan said covering his ears.
"It's really a shame that you have such hope. Your friends might not even make it here to duel me." Dieen said as she turned away.
"Wait!" Teresa screamed as she ran towards the door. "Where are we? Who are you?"
"Where are you? In a dark cage. Who am I? Your worst nightmare." Dieen then dissipated in thin air and was gone.

*~*~*Elaya's POV*~*~*
"Bye you guys! See you all later!" I called as I waved to the blue car from my veranda as it drove away. I walked inside my house.
"Mom?!" I got no answer. She must be at work. So, I went to my bedroom and put my dress on again along with the shoes and sash. I even put on some accessories like this gold necklace that my mom gave to me when I turned thirteen. As I stood in the mirror, Justi appeared in that holographic form wearing the same clothes as me.
"Don't you look nice." She said with a smile.
"Hey, Justi, do you think that anyone will dance with me?"

They all began to run towards the light. It was the way out because as soon as all three of them emerged out of the tunnel, they found themselves standing on a high cliff without a lot of room.
"Whoa!" Elaya cried as she almost fell over the edge. Luckily, Yami pulled the collar of her jacket and pulled her back.
"Now what?" Seto asked angrily.
"Well, if we can't go down or back, we'll go up." Yami said lifting his head towards the virtual sky. "I call upon the Curse of Dragon! (2000/1500)" Yami took out the card from his deck, held it in front of him and the dragon appeared.
"I call upon the Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress! (1400/1200)" Elaya shouted and did the same as Yami did and a small light blue dragon appeared.
"I call upon the Blue Eyes White Dragon! (3000/2500)" Seto cried as a large blue dragon appeared behind them. They all climbed aboard their different dragons and took off into the sky. [Don't worry guys] Elaya thought. [We're coming for you.]
*~*~*In the Dungeon.Reader's POV*~*~*
"Where are we?" Joey asked aloud. Mokuba, Tristan, Téa, Grandpa and Elaya's mother stirred and finally awoke.
Mokuba was the first to talk, "I think that we're in my big brother's new Virtual World game. It's a new version, different from the others that we've travelled to, but I can tell."
"Very good little one," a voice called from behind them.
"You!" Joey shouted pointing a finger at the spirit who was standing at the bars of their cell. He knew that this was the thing that slashed him months ago.
"You know, it's very rude to point."
"Let us out this instant!" Elaya's mother, Teresa ordered.
"Come on, I'll duel you for our freedom!" Joey offered as he held out his deck.
"I'm sorry.but I'm already expecting a duellist to fight for your freedom."
[It must be Yugi, Elaya and Kaiba!] Téa thought to herself.
"Your friends are coming to save you.no wait, let me rephrase that.Your friends might be coming to save you." Dieen made a little white ball appear in her hands. Inside the ball showed where Yugi, Elaya and Seto were. She frowned. [Huh.they already got out of the dark tunnel. Oh well.they are still a long way from here.]
"BIG BROTHER!" Mokuba yelled as he saw him riding on his favourite dragon.
"He can't hear ya Mokuba!" Tristan said covering his ears.
"It's really a shame that you have such hope. Your friends might not even make it here to duel me." Dieen said as she turned away.
"Wait!" Teresa screamed as she ran towards the door. "Where are we? Who are you?"
"Where are you? In a dark cage. Who am I? Your worst nightmare." Dieen then dissipated in thin air and was gone.
