Chapter 9: A Realm of a Different Sort
***********************************************************************
Yugi nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Tea scream. He whirled around, planning to dodge whatever was there. But before he could even react to what was coming, Yugi was grabbed harshly around the stomach. Pain seared through his torso under the immense squeeze his captor had on him. Knowing there was know way he could escape this time, he fell limb in the person's arms, not wanting to get hurt any more.
"Let him go you freak!" Tea yelled, furious. "He didn't even do anything to you!"
The figure laughed. Yugi's ears perked; the voice was low and raspy, not like Sheantu's at all. "I would; however, that is not the wishing of my Master. Whatever he says, I obey, and what he wants is this little runt to stay here with the rest of you."
"Who…are…you?" Yugi managed to sputter out; his stomach still felt like it was ripped into shreds, and it was really hard to talk.
Instead of answering, the man lifted up Yugi and shoved him against a pole in the ground. For the second time, his body was on fire, the pain almost too overwhelming to bear. Gritting his teeth, Yugi managed to keep his eyes open.
With incredible ease, the man snatched rope lying on the ground, and tied it tightly around poor Yugi's arms, legs, and stomach. Tea winced at the sight of her friend in so much agony.
Finished with Yugi, the captor threw off the graying-black hood that was over his head. Dark brown hair and eyes showed through, as well as a very large nose. He gleamed.
"What do you want from us?" Tea asked, the anger not fading from her voice.
"My Master wants your friends, namely that accursed pharaoh, Yami."
"You'll…never get… to…Yami," Yugi choked out. "He'll…beat you."
The servant snickered. "Oh but I highly doubt he'll beat what we have in store for him now." He snapped his fingers, and a large holographic image appeared in front of the three, lighting up the many cobwebs that littered the corners of the ancient temple floor. Yugi and Tea gasped in horror.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"…know somethin' that'll get on your nerves, get on your nerves, get on your nerves. I know something that'll get on your nerves, and this is how it goes. LOUDER! I know somethin' that'll get on your—"
"JOEY FOR GOODNESS SAKES BE QUIET! I'M TRYING TO DRIVE HERE!"
Yami laughed, both at Seto's "comment" and at Joey's "hurt" expression to it. How the two had managed to be in the same space and actually not kill each other yet was still a mystery to him. Sighing heavily, he stared out into blank space, his attention slowly drifting from the real world and into his mind. He still couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was coming. 'It always seems to be.' he thought grimly.
"Hey Yam', want somethin' ta eat? We've been in the air for over two hours now I'd guess."
Yami snapped back into reality. "No, I'm okay Joey, you have some. I'll eat later."
"You okay Yami? You seemed…distant ever since we took off."
Yami looked up at his two concerned friends, and faked a smile. "Don't worry Seto, Joey, I really am fine; just a little worried, that's all."
"Why? Don' think we can kick that evil sorcerer's butt?"
"Well, I don't know Joey…" Seto replied from the cockpit. "Sheantu doesn't have to eat every five seconds, so he might have an advantage and all, being he's always there to do whatever evil stuff he has to do."
"Oh, very funny Kaiba."
"Well, you know it's true."
"…..shut up." Yami laughed. It was times like these where he was glad he had friends to cheer him up.
There was an uncomfortable silence between the three all of a sudden; no one could think of anything to say. Joey looked at Yami, who had, for the trillionth time, resorted to looking out the window, to Seto, who was content on flying, his face slightly showing delight with the sight of blue skies despite his normally cold features. But it all changed as Seto called back to the two passengers. "Yami, Joey, come her for a sec."
Alarmed, Joey and Yami jumped out of their seats and hurried over to him. "What is it Seto, what's wrong?"
Seto pointed to the sight in front of him. "See that? That's what," Yami and Joey stood speechless. "I was hoping you would know what it is."
"Oh, I know what it is, alright." Responded Yami dully, looking hatefully at the large black and purple void in front of them. White lightning zapped in it as he spoke. "It's a Summoning Realm."
"A what?"
"A Summoning Realm. While you're in a Summoning Realm, you can summon monsters."
"Like the Shadow Realm?"
Yami sighed. "Yes, but not quite. You see each realm has a different element, and only monsters of that kind can be summoned."
"But how do we know what type of monsters can be summoned there?"
"You don't, and that's the catch. If it is a dragon-summoning realm, Seto's deck would be the one in favor. Mine would thrive in a spellcaster-summoning realm, and yours would most likely be good in an earth or warrior-summoning realm, since most of your cards are of that variety." Yami glared. "I just knew Sheantu would do something like this."
"Yeah."
Seto bit his lip. "Well, here's the deal. Because we've been traveling at such a high speed, a lot of our fuel's been spent. We're going to have to stop to get some more very soon, but…" he looked warily at the sight in front of him. "Looking at the size of this, we'll probably run out of gas just trying to get around it, so…"
"So ya want us to go through it? Are ya out of your mind? We don't even know what type of a realm it is!"
"It's the only way Joey."
"But that's crazy! We might get eatin' alive! Who knows what's in there!"
"Still Joey, I'd rather take my chance going through and finding out than having a definite fall-in-the-ocean scene." Joey said nothing, and lowered his head in silent agreement; deep down he knew Yami was right.
"Very well then, I think it's safe to say it's decided: we're going in."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The loud roars and screeches that echoed through the thick foggy air silenced the reverberation coming from the jet's engines. A hint of mystery was also present, that could make anyone become very edgy and alert. The plane rocked slightly with the many sound waves from the creatures within.
Joey fidgeted. "Um, guys, are you sure 'dis is a good idea? These guys could attack us at any second, and we don't even know what type of a realm it is."
"Well, considering the loud roars and growls coming from the monsters, in addition that there seems to be no ground for them to live on, I'd guess this is either a dragon or wind-type summoning realm." Said Seto, looking out the cockpit window.
Yami narrowed his eyes slightly. "I agree. And they won't attack us, as long as they are ordered not to. Whenever that is, I'm not sure." Joey shivered. His heart was pounding in his chest, as the others were.
Suddenly, Yami looked up from his thoughts. "Did you…hear that?" Seto opened his mouth to reply, but an enormous strike from outside hit the jet with a massive force, instantly knocking Joey and Yami to the ground, since they were standing up.
"Call me crazy, but I think they got their orders." "
"What'da we do?"
"Joey, run to the window and try and see what type of monsters are attacking us. Then I'll see if I have any in my deck. Seto, we have to get this plane moving, or we're never gonna get out of here alive! MOVE!" Joey and Seto nodded and did as they were told, and Yami pulled out his deck from his pocket.
Joey squinted out the window. "I don'… see anything…" Until a huge fireball came whizzing towards the cabin window, and would have burned him to a crisp if he had not jumped out of the way.
"WELL I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THIS IS A DRAGON-SUMMONING REALM CUZ I DON' KNOW NO BIRDS THAT CAN SHOOT FIREFALLS!"
Yami gasped. "Joey, GET OUT OF THE WAY! A TYHONE #2 IS TRYING TO COME IN THROUGH THE HOLE FROM THE FIREBALL!" Joey looked at where the window was, only a few feet away from him, and saw that Yami was indeed right. Dark red with a shooter-like head and yellow wings, it tried to fit its massive body through the opening in the plane. He tried to scramble back, but the turbulence on the plane from the dragon made it almost impossible.
Warning. Warning. Plane damaged. Control down 85%.
"EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT!?!?"
"SETO, YOU HAVE TO TURN THE PLANE TO THE LEFT, NOW!"
"Come on…" he gritted his teeth as he turned the steering wheel as far to the left as he could. "Turn, turn, TURN!"
The Tyhone # 2 opened its humongous mouth, getting ready to swallow up a very unfortunate Joey…
But was unexpectedly thrown out of the hole with a giant tug, for the jet had finally tuned just in time. Joey screamed as the force slowly dragged him through to the hole as well, despite his desperate attempts to grab onto the floor.
Yami threw his hand out to his friend. "JOEY, GRAB MY HAND!" he yelled, holding onto a seat. Joey stretched out his arm with all his might towards Yami, flailing it like a fish out of water in hopes of grabbing it.
Seto looked back at the scene behind him. "Joey, HOLD ON!" he shouted.
Yami skipped a breath as Joey fell almost out of the plane, holding onto the very edge for dear life.
"SETO!"
"I'M WORKING ON IT!" 'Come on, you turned before! Turn the other way! TURN YOU STUPID THING, TURN!' But the plane seemed to take all it could, because it wouldn't respond, and started to loose altitude.
"Attack him!"
A Blackland Fire Dragon roared and charged towards its prey, getting ready to strike. Joey looked down the dragon with pure terror and closed his eyes, preparing for what would happen next.
"Hold on Joey!" Yami slid down the singed cabin floor and stuck his hand out, holding a small card. "CURSE OF DRAGON, I SUMMON YOU!"
Out of the blue, a huge yellow dragon appeared outside the severely-mutilated jet, waiting for the command from its master. "ATTACK THE BLACKLAND FIRE DRAGON!" Curse of Dragon bellowed out a mighty roar and with a huge blast of fire, destroyed the opposing dragon. It flew around with tremendous speed, also attacking the other numerous dragons trying to get at the two.
"Here Joey, grab my hand!" Following suit, he did as Yami told. The pharaoh pulled with all his strength, trying to get his friend out of the grave situation he was in.
At the worst possible moment, the jet turned back to the right, making Yami and Joey fly to the other side of the cabin and hit the wall with amazing force.
"GUYS, ARE YOU OKAY?"
Yami groaned in pain. "Yeah Seto…we're okay."
Joey slowly opened his eyes and gasped. "Yami!"
"What?"
"Curse of Dragon!"
"WHAT?" Yami looked out the remaining window and saw what Joey was talking about. A gold and brown checkered dragon with razor-sharp fangs was in combat with Curse of Dragon, and Curse of Dragon wasn't doing so well. "A Kaiser Dragon! It has even higher attack points than my monster!"
"Yami, let me take 'em! I can summon Red Eyes Black Dragon and take 'em out!"
"No, you can't Joey." Joey growled. "WELL WHY NOT?"
"Because in order to be able to summon monsters in a summoning realm, you have to have some link to the ancient past."
"NOW YOU TELL ME?"
'A link to the ancient past, huh?' "YAMI, TAKE THE WHEEL!"
"What? Are you out of your mind? You're the only one who knows how to drive this thing, not to mention the plane is practically totaled and loosing speed every second!"
"JUST DO IT!"
Reluctantly, Yami stood up shakily and slowly crawled to the cockpit, holding onto permanent objects as he went, because the whole on the other side was still constantly pulling at the two. He finally reached it, and sat in the pilot's seat, for Seto had gotten up. "What are you going to do?" Seto didn't answer, but took off in the direction of the gap in the side. "SETO!"
The Curse of Dragon had had enough, and with a final blast from the Kaiser Dragon, started to dissolve before their very eyes, falling at an incredible rate. Kaiser Dragon let out a loud screech of victory, and looked towards the back plane with blood-red wicked eyes. It opened its mouth, preparing for the closing blow.
Seto finally reached his destination. Pulling something from his pocket, he stuck his hand out that he wasn't holding onto the seat with. Determination glowing back at the powerful Kaiser Dragon, he cried the words a duelist alone would dread to hear: "I SUMMON THE BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!"

Well, did ya guys like? Hope that kinda made up for the long update. I am sincerely sorry for that, I'll try to make it shorter next time, I am just soooo busy.
On another note: Usually, I would email everyone that has their email address posted when I update. However, it is becoming a real pain because ¾ of the people I email don't review anyway, and because the email service I have sucks, I can only email like 8 people at a time, so I'm usually stuck sending out 3 emails at a time. So, if you want me to email you when I update, please tell me in your review or via email. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I EMAIL EVERYBODY!!!
*sighs* Well, now that I got that out, um, review! ^^;;
