Seto to the Rescue! Chapter Five

Pixies and Fairies and Flying Elves, Oh My!

Seto was still dashing across the freeway when he heard a rumbling noise coming from his right.  He turned in that direction and finally noticed the huge eighteen-wheeler truck headed in his direction.  His eyes widened as he realized there was no possible way for him to move fast enough to keep from getting hit, and still the truck was moving closer… and closer… and closer…

^_________________________________________________________________________________^

DG grabbed something out of the box in her hand, then held it out to her "captive," who was avidly watching the TV screen. "Popcorn, Malik?"

"Sure," he answered, not taking his eyes off Seto's predicament.  DG glanced at the TV and grinned.  Malik held the box of popcorn towards Ryou. "Hey Ryou, don't you want any popcorn?"

"No thanks," the white-haired boy answered.  He looked suspiciously at his two companions. "Aren't you worried?"

DG answered with a bored yawn. "Not really.  Seto's an anime character.  He won't be hurt."

Malik glared at the authoress. "I'm an anime character, and I most certainly get hurt."

DG smirked. "Only because I want you to."

Rolling his eyes, Malik turned back to the TV, where the truck was STILL headed towards Seto. 'Geez… is this thing on slow motion?  Sure seems like it…'
^_________________________________________________________________________________^

'Well, this is the end,' Seto thought. 'I now have official reason to kill DG… if I ever get out of this alive, which I probably won't.  Hey, all those stories aren't true… my life ISN'T flashing before my eyes.'

Now the truck was only ten feet away and going to hit him within seconds.  Seto closed his eyes, waiting…

…then heard a giggle above him.  Looking up, he saw a pixy. 'What the heck… I must be hallucinating because I'm gonna die.'

The pixy giggled again and threw some gold dust at Seto.  The boy blinked as it settled. 'Pixy dust?'

The truck was still barreling towards our hero (HK: Hah!  Yeah right!).  Seto glanced towards the driver, who appeared to be asleep in front of the wheel.

"Hey!  Wake up!" Seto yelled.  With a start, the driver looked up and frantically tried to stop his truck.  However, it was too close, and Seto was about to be hit.

The CEO braced himself, closing his eyes to wait for the inevitable hit.  He would now die, hopefully with no pain…

The crash never came.

Seto opened his eyes, blinking in the darkness. 'Wait a minute… darkness?  It's 2:00!'

Suddenly the sunlight was back again, and the truck was to Seto's left.  Unquestionably, he was still alive.

The pixy above him disappeared, to be replaced by a fairy.  The fairy grinned evilly, threw a silver powder at Seto, and disappeared.

"Okaay… that was strange," he said slowly.  Turning to his left, he winced at the loud CRASH! that was made as the truck hit a mysteriously appearing palm tree.

The doors to the back of the truck swung open, and Seto groaned as his least favorite fruit rolled out.  Even worse, there was a girl riding on a surfboard on top of the coconuts.

"Whee!" HK cried. "Hiya, Seto!"

Seto decided not to get out of the way. 'Hey, if a TRUCK went through me, a bunch of coconuts should be no problem!'

Of course, that was what he thought.  When the first coconut bonked him on the head, there was definitely some pain, accompanied by the thought that DG was somehow behind this.

After Seto had been securely buried up to his chin in coconuts, HK slid to a stop, falling sideways and landing on her face. "Owww…" she hopped over to Seto. "What did you do that for?  Now I'll have to crash ANOTHER truck to get a decent ride!"

Seto glared at her. "I didn't expect tem to hit me.  Didn't that truck just pass through me?"

HK snickered. "That was because of the pixy dust.  The fairy dust cancelled it out."

"Pixies and fairies!  What's next, flying elves?" Seto looked up, just in time to see a blond elf with transparent wings fly above him.

"Finally – I have the Ring of Power!" he said.  HK giggled.

"Legolas from Lord of the Rings.  Guess DG couldn't help it.  Oh, well.  You should probably go off and rescue Isis now.  Bye!" With that, she hopped away, singing, "Boingie boingie boingity boingity boing!"

Seto sweatdropped. "Couldn't you be useful for once and dig me out?  HK?  Hey, HK!  HELP!"

Her voice floated back to him as she bounced off. "Dig yourself out!  Besides, you should be happy!  You caused a traffic jam!  I've always wanted to do that!"

"Hey!  I can't do this alone!"

"You won't!  DG will send more help!" Seto groaned at this.  DG's help never helped, it just caused a disaster.  Sighing, he went on to do the tedious task of throwing all the heaped coconuts away from him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~One hour later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seto stood up, finally free of the restraining coconuts.  Stretching, he started walking to the other side of the freeway.  "I am NEVER using this road again!"

His resolution was reinforced when he stepped on a coconut and slipped.  He slid the rest of the way to the other side of the highway, finally stopping by hitting a pine tree with a loud CRASH!  He was immediately rained down upon by pinecones, but it was better than coconuts.  Grumbling, he said, "This day just CAN'T get any worse, can it?  I mean, kidnappings, fairies, flying elves, rolling coconuts, and crazy girls on surfboards?  My life is officially insane!"

Isis was very nervous and VERY scared.  One wrong move now, and it would all be over… she glared at the man standing opposite her.  He was smirking, obviously assured of victory.

Closing her eyes, Isis drew. "YES!  I summon Maha Vailo and equip it with Axe of Despair, raising its attack power to 3050!  Attack the Meteor Dragon!" Her opponent's Life Points went immediately down to zero.

"I win again!  Do you give up yet?"

Another man stepped up to the table. "I'll duel you.  You won't find me such an easy opponent!"

Isis rolled her eyes. "Whatever.  Let's duel!"
