YuGiOh! Trapped in the Next Dimension
Chapter 2: The Wild and Crazy (not to mention power-filled) Soccer Game
Tori ran outside the doors, crying her eyes out. Why did Joey have to bring that up? Now she probably looked like an idiot, crying just because he'd mentioned her brother, and he didn't even know what happened . . .
She sat down on the grass, breathing heavily, trying to relax. But nothing worked. That image came in her mind over and over again:
~*~*~*~*~DREAM SEQUENCE~*~*~*~*~
He stood over her weakened form, laughing like a crazy person, holding her brother by the neck of his shirt. Tori looked up and saw him; he had silvery-blue hair and eyes that were the shade of blue ice. She was too frightened and tired to move. His powers had drained her of all her energy. His piercing blue eyes shot straight through her as she saw his powers unfold before her. Her brother fought the grip that held him, but not even his arms, strong as steel from all his years of athletic participation, could loosen the hold on himself, even though the boy who held him was the same height.
"Now who's the superior one, eh, Tori? Your family lies dead behind me, just one more to kill." Her brother's face paled as he realized his fate. "You should've listened to me and stayed home. Now he will perish." Tori's eyes widened as the evil boy used his powers and flew her brother into the air. He charged up his hand, the blue energy giving off a deadly aura. Tori's brother cried out his last words,
"Help me, Victoria!" Tori stared helplessly as the ball of energy released itself from the evil boy's hand right at her brother, and his eyes closed forever as he fell to the ground, dead.
"TAYLOR!!!" cried Tori as she found new strength, heaving herself to her feet and charging across to her brother, who now lay motionless, never to move again. Tori's eyes welled up with tears. "I'm sorry, Taylor, why didn't I help you?" she muttered to the lifeless body. Behind her she heard the evil laughter, and a rage beyond anything she'd ever felt before in her life surged through her body. "I'll get you for this, you bastard!" Tori screamed at the top of her lungs, whirling around, her powers coming into full form, transforming her completely into a Ligress. (A Ligress is the female combination of a lion and a tiger; the male is called a Liger) With a mighty screeching roar she leapt at the boy behind her, managing to get her claws into his arm before he jumped away, slightly angry. Tori barely noticed his mood change as she leapt for his throat, but missed. He jumped out of the way, hitting her again with another blast from his good arm. Not even another of his powerful attacks stopped Tori, though. She was on a rampage, completely intent on destroying the thing that had caused her so much pain. Finally, the boy hit her one more time, knocking her down, and as Tori struggled to get up, she saw him vanish into a pool of black shadow. Little by little, her anger turned into grief, and she became normal again. Her eyes swelled up with tears as she looked at Taylor's body lying a little bit away. She punched a fist into the ground weakly, tired from her adrenaline rush, and vowed under her breath, crying and tired, "Some day . . . some day, I will kill you . . . Riku . . ." before she collapsed out of fatigue.
~*~*~*~*~END OF DREAM SEQUENCE~*~*~*~*~
A fresh flow of tears emitted from Tori's eyes as the painful memory replayed itself over and over again, torturing her.
Suddenly, she heard a small noise behind her, and her tears stopped momentarily as she spun around to look. The back door was open, and a shadowy figure stood leaning against the door, watching her.
"Wh-who's that?" came Tori's voice, shaky. The figure's eyes flashed in the moonlight, and he left. Tori was too depressed to go after him, and she soon forgot about the whole thing. "I wish there was some way to get this off of my mind," she mumbled to herself as she stared at the ground. As she spoke the words, though, she heard a gust of wind. When she looked up, she was staring at a soccer ball that had appeared not three feet from where she currently sat. She looked at it curiously, and stood up. When she looked around, she noticed that a whole soccer field had appeared; it was Olympic-sized, with two large goals on either end. She stared wide-eyed at the size of it. This had definitely not been there before. Shrugging it off, she took the ball and kicked it into the goal, and went after it. After she'd kicked a few shots, she heard another small noise. She turned and saw Tea walking towards her.
"Hey, I was wondering where you were," said Tea. Tori turned away.
"Sorry I ran out like that, I probably looked like an idiot," said Tori, ashamed.
"Nah, we know how it is. It didn't happen that long ago, so it's only natural that you wouldn't have gotten over it yet," said Tea. Tori smiled, her best friend always found a way to cheer her up. "Can I play?" asked Tea.
"Oh, sure, I was gettin' lonely out here, anyway, but you're goalie, okay?" asked Tori.
"I'm fine with that," said Tea. She went up to the goal and braced herself. Tori lined up the shot; she really didn't want to miss. Just before she kicked it, though, Tea called out, "No powers, you got it?" Tori nearly stumbled, she'd been heading for the ball, about to nail it with her foot and send it through the goal on fire. Grumbling to herself, she called back,
"Okay." She stomped back, lining up the shot again. She nailed it, and it went through the goal, not on fire, but at a considerable speed.
"Hey! I said no powers!" Tea cried as she got up, dusting herself off. She'd had to dive out of the way to avoid the shot.
"I didn't use my powers!" Tori yelled back.
"You so did! There's no way that you could have kicked it that fast!"
"Well maybe I just have strong legs!"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Yah-huh!"
"When you two are done arguing, can we play?" called another voice. Mai and Serenity were walking towards them. "We'd like to join in this little skirmish, if you don't mind." The voice was Mai's. Tea and Tori looked at each other and shrugged.
"All right, but I get Mai on my team!" yelled Tea.
"Fine, then! Serenity and I will wipe the floor with you two!" called Tori. Serenity volunteered to be goalie, Tori held no objections. She liked being at the center of the action, anyway. Mai was the goalie on the other team. Tori and Tea stared at each other in the center of the field. Tea smirked; she knew just what to do.
"No powers now, either, got it?" asked Tea smartly.
"I don't need powers to annihilate you," responded Tori. Tea answered her comment by kicking the ball out from underneath the both of them and racing towards Serenity's goal. Tori gave a countdown. "Three . . . two . . . one," she said to herself before racing after Tea.
Tea charged towards Serenity, not holding back at all. She looked ahead and saw Serenity get into the goalie stance, ready to defend. Tea smiled to herself, this would be cake. Suddenly, she heard yelling behind her, it sounded like Mai. She turned to see what she was yelling about, when a blur slide-tackled her from behind and raced off with the ball. Tea lay on the ground, stunned. She sat up and shook her head to see Mai dive for the ball and miss, along with two loud cheers of victory.
"Hey! You used your powers again!" cried Tea. Tori had a halo above her head.
"What makes you think that?" she asked innocently, smirking. Tea stormed up to her angrily.
"What makes me think that, you ask? I was just knocked down by a blur that was going possibly fifty miles an hour, and before I can even sit up, you've shot the ball right through the goal, nearly setting the net on fire and making a perfectly neat hole right through it!" she nearly screamed. Tori stared at her calmly.
"And your point is . . .?" she asked. Tea nearly exploded. Tori smiled. She just loved making Tea mad; it was so satisfying.
"Well, Tori, a perfectly neat hole, isn't that a little odd?" asked Mai.
"It is perfect, isn't it?" asked Tori, staring back at it fondly. Before Tea could explode again, more voices came from across the field.
"Hey, what are you guys doing, having a screaming contest?" asked Joey. Tori backed away, her good mood gone.
"Oh, we were just playing a little soccer is all," said Serenity. Tristan, Duke and Bakura were behind Joey.
"Cool, can we play?" asked Duke.
"Sure," said Mai. The boys walked over.
"How about we play boys against girls?" asked Tristan. The girls looked at each other.
"Okay," came the response.
"But," said Tea, "since we already know we're gonna kill you guys, we're gonna let you have one more person." Joey smirked, now was the perfect time.
"I know just the guy!" he said, dashing off for the house. Before long, they heard objective yelling, and Joey appeared in the door, dragging something behind him. "Come on, Prince of Darkness, time to come out of your hole!" he yelled to whomever he was pulling out the door. He dragged the person across the field, soon helped by Bakura, Tristan, and Duke, and, to Tori's horror, they saw it was Yugi. She didn't trust Yugi at all; she was starting to warm up to the other four, but Yugi was a whole different story. She growled and tried to sneak away. There was no way she'd play one of her favorite sports with such a distrustful guy. Tea noticed her attempted escape and nudged the other two. They all leapt after Tori and grabbed her by the arms, pulling her back.
"Well, what do you know, we have a Princess of Darkness to go along with him!" exclaimed Tea as she avoided a kick from Tori. They shoved the two into each other.
"OW!" Tori cried as she and Yugi were pushed together. She rubbed her nose, it had smacked into his shoulder. She heard the suppressed giggles from behind her and looked up into Yugi's face, and he looked back at hers. For a split second, they simply looked at each other. Tori blushed. She had never been this close to him before, and something seemed to tell her, even though it was night, that he was blushing, too. She suddenly remembered that she wasn't supposed to trust him. Snarling, she shoved him away. Yugi stood for a second, staring blankly, but soon snapped out of it and glared at her. They both rounded on the people who'd done that to them. Tori stomped up to her friends, totally furious that they would dare do something like that. Yugi looked like he was going to go on the warpath. Tori glared at her friends as they rolled on the grass, laughing. Tea was the first to stop and get up. Noticing the look of death written on Tori's face, she tried to make peace.
"Awww, you should've seen yourselves, you looked so cute together!" said Tea. That only made Tori madder. The three girls were soon able to just talk Tori out of killing them, and they looked to see the boys, four of them lying on the ground, with the fifth one standing over them, satisfaction stamped on his face.
"Umm, what do you guys say we get this game going?" asked Tea as the boys got up, rubbing faces, arms, shoulders, or heads. They all agreed.
Soon, the boys went to one side of the field, and the girls went to the other. Joey, Tristan, Duke, and Bakura refused to be the forward, and forced Yugi to be it. Same thing went for the girls, making Tori the forward on their team. Mai was goalie, Serenity was defense, and Tea was midfield. On the boys' team, Duke was goalie, Bakura was defense, and Tristan and Joey were midfield.
Tori approached the center of the field cautiously, being careful of another prank being pulled by her friends. She knew that they had made her forward just so she and Yugi would go head to head. Why the boys made Yugi forward, she didn't know, but she suspected it was for the same reason. They approached each other, trying to forget about what had happened a few minutes ago, but Tori felt her cheeks slightly coloring. She shook it off and faced Yugi like she would any other soccer opponent. Yugi did the same.
"You're going down," Yugi muttered under his breath, fixing her with a deadly stare. Tori glared back.
"Actually, the only way I'm going," she said dangerously, "is around you." And with that, at super speed, she shot around Yugi with the ball, heading for the opposing goal. She looked ahead, and saw Tristan and Joey working like a real duo, getting into a formation that she knew pretty well herself. In fact, she knew it well enough to know that it was useless trying to get around them. Thankfully, Tea wasn't too far away. Tori made sure that the boys wouldn't jump in front of her pass.
"Tea! Here!" she cried milliseconds before she sent the ball to Tea. Tea caught it, and headed for the boys goal. She dodged Bakura as he jumped to block her, and fired the ball into the goal on the opposite side of where Duke stood. The girls cheered, but the boys were very vengeful. As Duke passed the ball back into the middle of the field, Tori and Yugi simply glared at each other without a word. Tori was smirking, though, and that made Yugi mad. Tori got the ball again, but a blur knocked it out from underneath her. She looked up in amazement to see Yugi zooming down the field at super speed. That was when she was hit with the awful truth. Yugi had powers, too! She became angry. No wonder she hadn't trusted him before! This was stupid! How could she not have sensed it before? Instead of being stupefied at his powers, she became very competitive. She would show him who had the better powers! She leapt to her feet and raced after Yugi, using her own speed. She took the ball from him, and gave it to Serenity. She snarled at Yugi as she passed him. He looked confused, but soon sensed the competitive energy emitting from her, and smiled evilly. If that was how she wanted to play, then that was how they would play. He shot off after Serenity, who heard him coming and passed to Tea. Tea saw Tristan diving for her, and made a wild pass to get the ball away from her, just as Tristan tackled her to the ground. A dead silence fell over the entire field as they turned to see them both fall. Tristan was lying on top of Tea, who looked like she'd just had the breath knocked out of her. Then, Tori started sniggering, which turned to giggles, which became laughter as she saw Tea's face blushing with embarrassment. Serenity and Mai joined in. Joey saw this as a good opportunity.
"Alright, everyone! Since someone has deliberately," he smirked at Tristan, who realized he was still on top of Tea and quickly got off, his face totally flushing red, "tackled another one, I officially call this game no longer soccer, but how about we make it rugby? And the only rule is, NO RULES!!!" Everyone agreed with a loud cheer. Tori was still smiling at her best friend, who still looked embarrassed, though Tori could tell she'd actually enjoyed that. That was the ultimate payback for what she'd done to her and Yugi. She quickly turned her attention back to the game, and realized that the ball was only a few feet away. She took it and headed for the boys goal. She saw Serenity was open and moved the ball up to her hands, and threw it to her. That was a mistake. Serenity put the ball down, and, dribbling it, headed out towards Bakura, who had become goalie while the Tea-Tristan incident had been going on. Duke came up behind her.
"Pardon me, miss, I'll be taking this," he said. Just before he took it, though, Serenity kicked the ball out of the way, in doing so she accidentally tripped him. Duke fell, grabbing Serenity to try to steady himself, and both collapsed on the ground. Joey saw this and went to get his friend off of his sister, but he ran into Mai, who'd gotten tired of sitting around in the goal and came out to get in the action. They joined Duke and Serenity on the ground. Tea and Tristan were still on the grass from a few minutes ago. Tea saw that she and Tori were the only girls left, and tried to get up to help Tori, but Tristan knew what she was doing and held her down.
"Get her, Yugi!" he cried, holding onto a struggling Tea. Tori glanced over and saw Tea and immediately wanted to help her friend. She raced towards them, but a shout from Tea stopped her. Tea shook her head and pointed behind Tori. Tori looked to see Yugi using his super-speed to come after her; an evil smile was on his face. Tori gulped, and grabbed the ball, which lay a few yards from her feet, and tore off for the goal that Bakura guarded. She heard the cheers of her friends; Yugi heard the support of his.
"Come on, Tori! You can easily outrun him!"
"Yugi, what are you doing? Show her how to play a sport!" Tori was almost there, she gave it all she had. She finally fired the last shot just as two arms wrapped around her, pinning her arms to her sides, and she fell. Bakura moved as the ball flew through the net, making another flaming hole.
"I guess, the girls win," he said. He went to get the ball, which was smoking from the shot, and went inside, leaving the others outside on the grass.
Tori was still tired from that final drive as she lay on the ground. She turned to look at who'd knocked her down, though it wasn't much of a surprise. Yugi was tired, too. It had been awhile since he'd used his powers like that. He opened his eyes and looked at the girl he'd caught. Their eyes locked, amethyst with brown, and Tori felt a chill down her spine, though she didn't look away.

She looked ahead, and saw Tristan and Joey working like a real duo, getting into a formation that she knew pretty well herself. In fact, she knew it well enough to know that it was useless trying to get around them. Thankfully, Tea wasn't too far away. Tori made sure that the boys wouldn't jump in front of her pass.
"Tea! Here!" she cried milliseconds before she sent the ball to Tea. Tea caught it, and headed for the boys goal. She dodged Bakura as he jumped to block her, and fired the ball into the goal on the opposite side of where Duke stood. The girls cheered, but the boys were very vengeful. As Duke passed the ball back into the middle of the field, Tori and Yugi simply glared at each other without a word. Tori was smirking, though, and that made Yugi mad. Tori got the ball again, but a blur knocked it out from underneath her. She looked up in amazement to see Yugi zooming down the field at super speed. That was when she was hit with the awful truth. Yugi had powers, too! She became angry. No wonder she hadn't trusted him before! This was stupid! How could she not have sensed it before? Instead of being stupefied at his powers, she became very competitive. She would show him who had the better powers! She leapt to her feet and raced after Yugi, using her own speed. She took the ball from him, and gave it to Serenity. She snarled at Yugi as she passed him. He looked confused, but soon sensed the competitive energy emitting from her, and smiled evilly. If that was how she wanted to play, then that was how they would play. He shot off after Serenity, who heard him coming and passed to Tea. Tea saw Tristan diving for her, and made a wild pass to get the ball away from her, just as Tristan tackled her to the ground. A dead silence fell over the entire field as they turned to see them both fall. Tristan was lying on top of Tea, who looked like she'd just had the breath knocked out of her. Then, Tori started sniggering, which turned to giggles, which became laughter as she saw Tea's face blushing with embarrassment. Serenity and Mai joined in. Joey saw this as a good opportunity.
"Alright, everyone! Since someone has deliberately," he smirked at Tristan, who realized he was still on top of Tea and quickly got off, his face totally flushing red, "tackled another one, I officially call this game no longer soccer, but how about we make it rugby? And the only rule is, NO RULES!!!" Everyone agreed with a loud cheer. Tori was still smiling at her best friend, who still looked embarrassed, though Tori could tell she'd actually enjoyed that. That was the ultimate payback for what she'd done to her and Yugi. She quickly turned her attention back to the game, and realized that the ball was only a few feet away. She took it and headed for the boys goal. She saw Serenity was open and moved the ball up to her hands, and threw it to her. That was a mistake. Serenity put the ball down, and, dribbling it, headed out towards Bakura, who had become goalie while the Tea-Tristan incident had been going on. Duke came up behind her.
"Pardon me, miss, I'll be taking this," he said. Just before he took it, though, Serenity kicked the ball out of the way, in doing so she accidentally tripped him. Duke fell, grabbing Serenity to try to steady himself, and both collapsed on the ground. Joey saw this and went to get his friend off of his sister, but he ran into Mai, who'd gotten tired of sitting around in the goal and came out to get in the action. They joined Duke and Serenity on the ground. Tea and Tristan were still on the grass from a few minutes ago. Tea saw that she and Tori were the only girls left, and tried to get up to help Tori, but Tristan knew what she was doing and held her down.
"Get her, Yugi!" he cried, holding onto a struggling Tea. Tori glanced over and saw Tea and immediately wanted to help her friend. She raced towards them, but a shout from Tea stopped her. Tea shook her head and pointed behind Tori. Tori looked to see Yugi using his super-speed to come after her; an evil smile was on his face. Tori gulped, and grabbed the ball, which lay a few yards from her feet, and tore off for the goal that Bakura guarded. She heard the cheers of her friends; Yugi heard the support of his.
"Come on, Tori! You can easily outrun him!"
"Yugi, what are you doing? Show her how to play a sport!" Tori was almost there, she gave it all she had. She finally fired the last shot just as two arms wrapped around her, pinning her arms to her sides, and she fell. Bakura moved as the ball flew through the net, making another flaming hole.
"I guess, the girls win," he said. He went to get the ball, which was smoking from the shot, and went inside, leaving the others outside on the grass.
Tori was still tired from that final drive as she lay on the ground. She turned to look at who'd knocked her down, though it wasn't much of a surprise. Yugi was tired, too. It had been awhile since he'd used his powers like that. He opened his eyes and looked at the girl he'd caught. Their eyes locked, amethyst with brown, and Tori felt a chill down her spine, though she didn't look away.
