Ch. 4: Ring of Fire

Bakura: O.O FIIIIIRRRRRRE!

            Bakura leaps down into the ring, startling the Juggling Jaguars, causing them to drop their flaming machetes.  The Ring spirit grabs one of the blazing blades and starts running around the ring.

Bakura: FIREFIREFIREFIREFIREFIREFIREFIREFIREFIREFIREFIREFIREFIRE…

            Yugi and Joey stare in shocked amazement.

Joey: We hafta stop him, Yug-man, 'fore he burns us all ta a cinder.

Yugi: Sure, how?

Joey: I don know, let me figya somtin out.  *Does Brain Blast from "Jimmy Neutron"*   BRAIN BLAST!

Yugi: What?

Joey: Um, notin.  We gotsa gets om water.

Yugi: Ok.  Why?

Joey: To dowse da fire dog!

Yugi: Oh.  But where are we gonna get water?

Joey: Dis a zoo, 'ight?  Dere's bound ta be water ere sumwur. 

            The two get up and head for the entrance, hoping to find water quickly before the whole building goes up in smoke.  But before they even reached the door, the big gorilla stopped them.

Bobo: I cannot let you leave.

Joey: Why the #*@% not!

Yugi: Yeah!

Bobo: You cannot leave until the show is over.

Joey: But we're tryin to save yo furry skinz.

Bobo: This facility is more than capable.  Watch.

            Joey and Yugi turn around to see a large elephant lumber into the ring, carrying a large tank of water.  By now, Bakura had set most of the ring on fire; the jaguars had fled back stage.  In his insane circling, the Ring spirit sees the elephant.

Bakura: Must set fire.  Must set fire.  Must-

Elephant: Shut up, you freak. *Sucks water into trunk*

Bakura: Must set FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!  *Charges at elephant carrying the two flaming machetes, one in each hand*

            The elephant releases a mighty stream of water crashing into Bakura, effectively dowsing his blades. 

Bakura: NOOOOOOOO!!!!  My fire!!

            Elephant takes care of the rest of the flames, and then leaves.   

Joey: Dang, dat sum pachyderm.

Bakura: Must find more fire…

Yugi: Maybe we should do something about him.

Joey: I dunno.  Dis's pretty funny.

            Bakura runs after the elephant, but gets stopped by a pair of wolves guarding the door.

Wolf 1: You cannot leave until the show is over.

Bakura: Must burn… *swings machetes at them*

Wolf 2: *Easily parries the attack with his staff* It is pointless.  You should go back and enjoy the show with your friends.

Bakura: But I NEED FIRE!!!!!! *Throws himself at them*

            They two toss him to the ground.  One knocks him over the head with his staff.

Wolf 1: Idiot.

Wolf 2: Please return him to his friends.

            A large, lizard like creature picks him up and drops him carelessly in his chair.  The Ring glows again and Ryou regains control.

Ryou: *Blinks* What in the blazes happened here?  Oh…right.

Joey: What the &$%# is wrong with yo yami?

Ryou: He has… issues. 

Joey: No kiddin.

Yugi: Look, the lion ringleader guy is back.

Ryou: Wonderful.  I wonder what crazy insane thing they're going to pull this time.

Lion: Sorry for the interruption folks.  Next we have a magic act, and we need a volunteer.

Yugi: Oh, oh! Pick me!

Joey: Shhh!  Keep yo voice down dawg.

Lion: Ah yes.  Would the little boy up front please step down to the ring?

Yugi: Oh boy!

Ryou: Oh great…

Lion: What's your name little boy?

Yugi: Yugi.  And I'm not a little boy.  I'm in high school!

Lion: Really? 

Yugi: Really.

Lion: Well here's what we're going to do Yugi.  You see that big tub thing over there, the one with a chair in the middle?

Yuig: Uh huh.

Lion: We need you to sit in that chair.

Yugi: OK.  *Walks over to the tub and climbs in, with some difficulty, and sits in the chair*  Like this?

Lion: Yes, that's perfect.  Now, let me introduce our resident magician: Wild Weasel!

            A tall, black furred weasel enters the ring, dressed in a black cape with matching white wrist and ankle cuffs, vest, and top hat. 

Ryou: I have a bad feeling about this.

Joey: Usually I wudn't agree wid you.  But dis time I think I'll make an exception.

Weasel: Welcome, welcome, one and all, to my most fantastic show.  I hope you will all enjoy yourselves, *look over at Yugi with slanted, thin eyes* because we're going to have a hell of a time.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

SilverD: I hope you enjoy this.

DWyrm: Yes, it takes time on our part.

SilverD: We like writing it, but this particular story is starting to be a drag.

DWyrm: But we will keep it up for your sake. 

            Rae and Silver: We're separate beings, at least we were.  It's kinda confusing so you have that right at least. ^_^ This summer we're thinking of joining the original fiction site, FictionPress.net, and posting our story.  So if you ever really want to know our history, we'll tell you when and if we get it up.  If you want to know a little now, just check our bio page.  It doesn't have everything, but it does have some.  I, SilverD, am the main writer and a dragon slayer knight from the dark ages.  DWyrm was a powerful dragon that I killed some time ago, but I was cursed with his spirit as punishment.  We get along, sort of.  So we have one body, but two minds, kind of like a yami-hikari relationship from Yi-Gi-Oh.  Keep reading, you may find out more about us later.

            Mina-chan AMD: You can look at the Matrix story if you want, but since you haven't seen any, you won't understand it all.  Thanks for reviewing.
