Dark's Pet Walking Business

Disclaimer: Do we really have to state the obvious?
All righty! Next chapter's the last! Hey, it was fun while it lasted!
"And we gather here this day........." the Dark Sage's voice droned on and on at the funeral.
Celtic just thought that this was dumb. 'This is so dumb.' He thought to himself.
Apparently, he wasn't the only one who thought it was stupid. DMG just stared at her grandfather, bored. 'If someone asks me what I do on rainy days, I definitely not gonna answer!'
And Dark; you don't want to know what he thought! Oh, perhaps you do. 'What a waste of time,' he almost said that out loud. 'I can't believe I'm doing this!' Then he noticed that the jar, that was holding that ashes, was moving. "Uh, Grandpa?" he asked, pointing to the container. "It's moving."
The Dark Sage peered in and exclaimed, "Oh! He's alive!" Dark, DMG, and Celtic had strange expressions on their faces.
"WHAT?!" they yelled in unison.
The elderly mage laughed. "Perhaps that why it's called Revival Jam!" he said, reaching in and trying to pick the blue blob up.
"Hmph! That was sooooo boring and stupid!" DMG muttered when they exited the room. Mystic followed her, a smile on her face.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that." She said. "At least we know what to do during funerals!"
"Hey, it stopped raining." Said Celtic, looking out the window.
"Well, it looks like it's another day of business!" Dark said.
"Please, Dark, no," begged DMG.
"It looks like it's another wonderful day of business!" he repeated, trying to ignore her.
"But Daaaaark." She whined.
"I SAID 'It's another freakin' day of business!'" he said, raising his voice and glaring at DMG. His little sister put her hands up in a defensive position and backed away. Her big brother looked scary.
A little while later.........
"It's a Defense Rat!" Dark said to DMG, showing her the pet that she was walking.
"Um. Doesn't look too friendly." She commented as it rolled up in a ball.
Dark shrugged. "I'm walking one too......... And so are Mystic and Celtic. Though, I think they'll have to share one."
"And why are we walking them, pray tell?" asked DMG.
"Judge Man's paying me to walk all of them." Dark answered, grinning. "Heh heh. I beat Chaos to him!"
"Exactly how much is he paying us?" DMG said quizzically. Dark leaned over and whispered in to her ear. ".........Whoa........." DMG said in disbelief. "That guy's crazy!"
"Yeah, that's good for us, though!" Dark said happily.
"I don't know, Dark," said Mystic. "These things can be very tricky!"
"Really? Well, I didn't know that!" said Celtic.
"There's a lot you don't know." Replied Mystic.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean!?" he demanded.
"Oh, nothing........." said the blue skinned elf, walking away with her monster, Celtic yelling behind her.
DMG sighed and took her Defense Rat, having a bad feeling about this. She should. Little did she know what that little demon was thinking about. Hey, even we don't know!
Meanwhile.........(yeah, yeah. This is getting dumb, eh?)
"Come on, Jelly," The Dark Sage said, trying to coax it out of the jar. "Come on, little buddy." Suddenly, 'Jelly' jumped out and flew smack in to his face. "GAH! My eyes! It BURNS!!!" the old magician yelled, running around.
He couldn't see. That's how he managed to run in to all the furniture in to the room, leave a few imprints of himself on the wall, and cause total chaos in the living room. He fell on the ground, rolling around, screaming as loudly as his lungs would allow.
Er..........right --' Back to DMG.........
The apprentice blinked, turned around, and looked at the Prevent Rat that was rolling around after her. Somehow, she felt that something bad was going to happen. She was right! It flung itself in to the air and almost hit her if she hadn't quickly dropped to the ground.
"What the heck?!" she shrieked as it rolled back to take a second aim. She didn't wait for it to come back. She ran! Very fast. "DARK!!" she yelled, scrambling up a tree. But as fate would have had it, it was the one that Dark blew up previously that day.
Naturally, there were many dead branches as DMG found out earlier. Unfortunately, she was on one of them. So she fell back to the ground. Getting up quickly, she made a mad dash for the front door of her house.
Tsk tsk. The whole Dark Magician family.........
"Come on! I wanna walk it!" Celtic said, trying to grab the leash from Mystic's hand.
"No," Mystic said, pulling her hand away. "You've had your turn."
"It's not fair! Gimme!" he yelled, making a grab at the leash again. Mystic picked up the Prevent Rat and jumped away, almost making Celtic fall to the ground.
She laughed and dropped the pet. "I'm sure you could do better than that!" Celtic didn't say anything, but he did jump forward and almost grab it. That is, if Mystic hadn't kicked it behind her.
"This isn't funny!" Celtic muttered.
"Heh, look, if you want it, then you'll have to get it away from me!" she smiled and brought it in front of her with her foot.
Celtic frowned. This was going to be harder than he thought.
Let's see what Dark's up to.........
"Oh great, not you," muttered Dark seeing Chaos walking towards him. "What do you want?"
"Nothing. What makes you say that?"
"Because every time you're here, you cause trouble," said Dark simply.
"Do not!"
Dark rolled his eyes and started walking away. 'Three, two, one.........'
"Where are you going? I challenge you!"
Dark turned around. "See?!"
"What? You scared?"
"No!" Dark said quickly. "So what's this about?"
"The rules are simple. Both players use their staffs to whack a ball back and forth. The first player to touch the ball or let it fall on the ground is the loser."
Dark grinned. "You're losing your touch, Chaos. This is just plain ridiculous compared to your other challenges." Though this was going to be easy compared to all the other challenges he had accepted before.
Meanwhile.........
"There's no problem. If it happens again, I'll go to the Shadow Realm to see what's going on." That's what Yami had told him. So why was Yugi still worried? He really wished that everything would be back to normal.
"Yugi! You can go first!" Joey's voice snapped him out of his trance.
"All right, Joey. I'll play the Dark Magician in attack mode!" Yugi said, summoning his favorite card down on the field. To Yugi's relief, the Dark Magician and only him was on the field. Then the relief turned to disappointment as the Magician of Black Chaos appeared with three other monsters. Wait, maybe more than three. The Magician of Black Chaos and the Dark Magician were whacking a ball—no wait. A Prevent Rat—back and forth almost like volleyball if there was a net between them and if they were using their hands.
Then Yugi realized that the Dark Magician Girl had appeared as well. She seemed to have been cornered. A large ball shot itself straight at her. Yugi realized that it was another Prevent Rat. She hit it with her wand. It was like baseball. Right after she hit it, she ran away.
Were those other monsters that appeared Mystical Elf and the Celtic Guardian? The blue-skinned elf was smiling teasingly while kicking, Yugi guessed, another Prevent Rat away from the frustrated Celtic Guardian. Soccer?
"What is this?!" Yugi yelled at them. "A Duel Monster Sports Camp?!" He was getting VERY tired of this. "That's it! I've had enough! Either this stops or I quit Dueling forever!"
All the monsters on the field sighed and looked ashamed. They shouted an apology to him and disappeared from the field. Yugi felt awful yelling at them, but this was getting out of hand. Perhaps it would be a good idea for Yami to pay them a visit.........
Ha, one of my friends looked at my Prevent Rat card and called it Pervert Rat before I told him to check again. Another one of my friends did the same! Poor little armadillo-like rodent... You just don't get the respect that you deserve!
