Chapter #19: Things Are Not What They Appear To Be.
*~*~*Black Rock--Elaya's POV*~*~*
"Justi? Are-are you really there?" I asked. Stupid question. I took a step forward. Stupid move. Justi aimed her staff at me--her 3800 ATK power staff at me.
"Don't move." She said. But it didn't sound like her at all. Like she was....possessed?
"Okay, okay, don't get all excited now...." I started to say.
"What have you done to her?" Yami repeated.
"Nothing. It is not what I have done, but more like what IT has done."
"And who's this 'IT'?" Joey asked.
"One of Backura's favourite cards......" From previous duelling experiences with Backura in class, he told me which one it was.
"Change of Heart..." All but Seto, Mai, and Mokuba whispered.
"So, I guess you all know whose side she's on." Dieen smirked.
"LET HER GO!" Yami cried, raising his staff. "DARK MAGIC ATTACK!" He aimed right at Dieen. If he was 1301 ATK points stronger, she would have vapourized.
Instead, she twirled her sceptre in a circle, making it act like a shield.
"Give it up Pharaoh. Just give me your Puzzle, and I'll let you all leave." Dieen offered. "I promise."
"I don't like the sound of that Yug'!" Joey muttered.
"Come on, what do you say? Seems like a fair trade...." Dieen argued.
Dead silence. The only sound was the wind. One of those winds from the horror movies that tell the viewer something bad is going to happen.
Man, those guys are good.
"Fine. I guess I'll have to do this the hard way..." Dieen muttered. She raised her staff in the air and out of nowhere, millions of Dark Type monsters appeared. Dragons, Fiends, and even a couple of Fairies gone bad!
"Do the math young Pharaoh. You can't win. ATTACK!"
They all began to swarm around us. A Curse of Dragon tried to attack me, but I used my teleport abilities. I reappeared to see Mai, Joey, Tristan, mom, and Mokuba stuck together behind Serenity's high defence points. Seto, the idiot he was, was trying to fend for himself against an Earl of Demise.
I flew over and grabbed him before the sword came crashing down on him. Téa used her own magic to blast him to pieces.
"Seto, what the hell is wrong with you?!" I asked him within my invisible barrier of sorts. "You know perfectly well that Earl of Demise's attack strength is 800 more than yours! What were you thinking even TRYING to fight it?!"
"Just let me go."
"NO! Seto, you can get killed out there! I don't think my mom can handle another revival process.....This isn't a game, or a dream! THIS IS FUCKIN' REAL LIFE!"
Glaring at me, he whispered under his breath. "I know."
I reappeared and brought Seto to where Serenity was currently sitting and protecting. "Seto, stay here. Mystical Elf's defence is--"
"2000. I know. I am the World Champion."
I left using my wings, towards Justi. Or by her new name, Storm Sister. Yami, Yugi, and Téa were doing great against the Dark Types. Too bad the others can't attack since they're not Dark.....dammit.
"Stay away from me." Justi responded emotionlessly as I approach her. Dieen smirked and raised her staff like Justi did. That's over 7000 ATK points.
"ATOM CHARGER!"
"DARKNESS VEIL!"
Two large streaks of light come straight towards me. I once again use my teleport abilities and advance to Justi. I quickly reappear to grab onto her, then I disappear again. This way, no one can hurt us, and we can't hurt eachother.
"Let me go!"
"NO!" I cried, tightening my grip as I pulled her to face me. "Justi! I know that you're still in there!"
Her eyes were all hazed over--but they were still green like mine. Her hair was still the same length--past her shoulders--but it was coloured blue like the card's picture.
"Justi, please, wake up....." She still doesn't hear me and continues to struggle. I need to keep her in this invisible world for as long as I can........or for as long as I can hold her.
*~*~*On the Battle Field--Reader's POV*~*~*
"NO!" Dieen screamed as Storm Sister was taken away from her into Pixie's invisible world. "That little wretch!"
Her monsters were failing to successfully attack the three Magicians and their combined attacks. Growling, she frantically looked around.......instead of finding Justi, she found easy prey.
"DARK MAGIC ATTACK!" Téa, Yugi and Yami called all at once, blasting another dragon to smithereens.
[This isn't getting any easier...] Téa thought worried. She glanced at the two Yugis and sighed. [What if we never get out of here? Hey, where's Elaya? And Justi?!]
Téa levitated towards the place where Justi was.....and realized that Dieen was no longer there either. [Oh no!] She saw Dieen take steps towards Serenity, Mai, Mokuba, Tristan, Teresa, and Seto who were relying on their defence to protect them.
"DARKNESS VIEL!" Téa screamed as Dieen's attack was launched at her helpless friends.
"Kuri! Kuri! Kuri! Kuri!" Millions of colourful Kuriboh's appeared out of nowhere and blocked the attack entirely.
"Hey guys!" Mai cried, grateful for the 'little pieces of wasteful dust' that they had helped earlier.
Dieen growled in frustration. [Those little......Arg! How dare they?!] The Kuriboh's continued to multiply to create an unstoppable defence around the others.
Tristan, Teresa and Mokuba cheered meanwhile Serenity just smiled to keep her concentration on her defence.
Seto too was in his own world, trying to summon the dragons to him. [Come on! Dragons, come to your Lord!]
"DARK MAGIC ATTACK!" The Pharaoh cried, silencing a Pitch-Dark Dragon. That's when he noticed that the other dragons had stopped attacking too.
/ Yami, what's happening? / Yugi inquired.
\ The dragons have stopped because of the request of their Lord. \
/ Lord....You mean Kaiba? Kaiba is the one who is stopping them? /
\ Precisely. Look at him Yugi, he is somewhat meditating; calling to them all. \
[Dragons, find me my Flutes.] Seto repeated in his mind over and over. Just hearing shocked gasps coming from all around him, he knew that at least one of them had flown off.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Dieen was infuriated.
Seto opened his eyes coldly. "Nothing that concerns you."
"You tell her big brother!" Mokuba exclaimed, proud of his brother's intelligence.
*~*~*In Pixie's Invisible World--Elaya's POV*~*~*
I don't know how long it's been, but I've been staring at two green fuzzed over eyes for too long now! I have to make her break the spell!
"Let go of me!" She scolds.
"No....I can't...." I mustered out of my mouth. "If I let go, I'll lose you forever....and I can't take that."
"What?" She asked, more.....gently?
"I don't want to lose you Justi! Why can't you see that I care for you? That Yami cares for you? Please, snap out of it! I don't want to lose you!" I screamed at her, feeling tears welling up in my eyelids.
"I know that your heart is still there inside you! This 'Change of Heart' thing was only a mask for you not to see what you're doing!" I begin to shake her. "Justi please...."
A single tear dropped from my eye and into one of the cups of the Millennium Scales. It began to glow brighter and brighter until it was white light.
"JUSTI!" I yelled allowing the Millennium Symbol to appear on my forehead. I saw her eyes widen and her mouth make a perfect 'o' shape. Her eyes became clearer as the same Millennium Symbol appeared on her forehead as well.
The Scales appeared around her neck when--I hoped--reality struck home.
"Elaya?" She whispered.
Suddenly, a large black streak of light headed straight towards us and broke us apart, breaking the hold I had on Justi and the hold I almost had on her memory.
"NO!" I cried as I reappeared in a puff of smoke with Justi on the other side of me.
"Sorry for breaking the reunion." Dieen was grinning like always. "I suggest that you don't do that again."
"How did you see me?"
"Light shines through even your invisible barrier." She responded, coming closer. When I was using the Millennium magic, that's when she must of seen me!
"Just to make sure that you don't do that again...." Before I could resist, she grabbed the Scales from around my neck and flung them to her right. Then, she raised her staff at me. "To be double sure...."
The ball of black light began to form within her sceptre.
*~*~*Reader's POV*~*~*
"DARK MAGIC ATTACK!" The trio of the Yugis and Téa shouted again, obliterating the last Earl of Demise.
[Dragons, bring me my Flutes!!] Kaiba cried through thought. A loud Curse of Dragon call startled him into making him turn around to face it.
In its mouth was a golden Flute of Summoning Dragon.
"Alright!" Tristan and Joey jumped.
"Hmm. I wonder what Dragon he'll summon..." Mai thought aloud, obviously joking.
"I call upon the greatness of the Blue Eye--" He began to say.
"NO! WAIT!" Teresa shouted. "Kaiba, don't you remember? Any type of monster other than a Dark type can't attack!"
Eyes wide, he cursed himself. "Dammit."
"But wait," Joey reasoned, "Don't the Lord of Dragons eliminate all magic, traps and effects aimed at any Dragon type monsters?"
"Yeah.....so?" Tristan asked.
"That means, you moron, that Kaiba can call upon the Blue Eyes since he cancels all effects!" Mai cut in.
"Oh."
"But will it work?" Mokuba asked with doubt.
"I'm positive!" Joey proclaimed. "As long as Lord of Dragons is on the field, nothing can hurt the dragons....well, except battles..."
Grumbling because of the time lost, Seto restarts, "I call upon the greatness of two Blue Eyes White Dragons!"
The earth shock as two Blue Eyes appeared beside their Lord. "GO! ATTACK WITH WHITE LIGHTNING!"
Everyone waited to see the familiar white balls of electricity explode from their mouths. It did come and wiped out half the Dark army.
"Woo-hoo!" Teresa cheered. "Take that you over-grown pieces of dirt!"
"Serenity! Come on! Kaiba has his Blue Eyes out! You can stop using your defence..." Tristan said, lifting Serenity off the ground.
"Good! I don't think I could have held out much longer...." She admitted, standing and taking a spot beside her big brother and Tristan behind Kaiba.
The other dragons that were once on Dieen's side were now too following their Lord. The Kuribohs that were currently protecting them also spread apart and followed their new friends.
"Yeah! An unstoppable Dragon army!" Mokuba announced.
Yugi, Yami and Téa came up beside Kaiba and the others. "Good thinking Kaiba." Yugi complimented.
Staying silent, he just nodded.
"Kaiba, make some of the dragons stay here and attack the rest of the army. We need to find where Elaya, Justi and Dieen are." Yami suggested.
[Elaya.....where is she?] Kaiba scanned the darkness to come up with nothing. [Dragons, spilt up! Half follow me, half destroy the army! Go! Now!] Like obedient children, the dragons followed their Lord's orders.
"Joey? Lend us some light?" Mai said.
"One torch coming up." He concentrated and the flames didn't come. "Oh yeah...I'm not Dark....shit, that means I can't attack."
"I got it." Yugi chirped allowing the ball in his staff to glow an eerie shade of green.
"Over there!"
[Elaya! No!] Seto thought. He saw Dieen looming over her with her sceptre ready to attack.
The beam of light came crashing down.....but the others saw the familiar puff of smoke, telling them that she had teleported.
She reappeared beside them. "Now what?"
Only few Dark Types remained; others had fled, most were dead, and all the Dragons were on their side. Dieen stood squarely in the centre of all the destruction and laughed.
"Alright, this game is over!" Joey called.
"Wrong Mister Wheeler.....in my eyes, it's just begun...." She smiled.
"Aw man, I hate it when she does that...." Tristan whispered.
Serenity clung onto Tristan and Joey for dear life.
"Allow me to play out what will happen if you attack me....." Dieen began. "I will be destroyed, but Justi will be too."
"What?" The others gasped.
"Sisters defend and attack together...." Elaya choked out tearfully. "So even Dieen is gone, Justi, under her spell will try and protect her.....even if it costs her her life...."
"Exactly my dear..." She continued to smile. "And now that that's settled, prepare to listen to another offer...."
She blasted open the doors that contained a very elaborate room with gold vases and pieces everywhere.
Deep within Storm Sister's mind, Justi thought, [No......]
