Two Masters, Two Memories

The monsters stopped their rejoicing and looked up at the monstrous monster that had just appeared. He was huge. A gold color with a purple and gold pharaoh like headdress. He had shackles dangling from his wrists and ankles, making him look even more dangerous.

Dark and his new companions moved a little futher away and closer together, while the others made considerably more distance between them and the gold titan.

"Greetings fellow monsters, I am Exodia. And since you all look so terrified I believe the phrase, I come in peace, is in order."

Dark made a move to move forward and greet the new card, but instead was pushed by Celtic, Gaia, and Kuriboh. He tripped forward, then quickly regained his balance. "Ehem," Dark said, glaring behind him at several monsters waving and smiling with their eyes closed, then returned to Exodia. "I am pleased to welcome you to Master Yugi's deck."

"Master Yugi? Who might that be? I only obey my master, Yami," said a somewhat confused Exodia.

The name Yami triggered something among almost all of Yugi's monsters. They grabbed their heads in pain as they fell to the ground. Some cried out, others groaned. Images and events passed through their minds in seconds. They were clouded and foggy, which just caused more confusion and frustration. Exodia and a handful of other monster stood by as their companions carried on in agony. Finally their episode had passed and they began to regain their composure. Spell-casters were first to straighten up, then the dragon, followed by warriors and later, everyone else.

"Yami....." Dark said aloud by thinking about it more to himself.

"I-I think I remember something about him," Celtic added, "but it hurts my head to think about it."

"Ooooooh, all muddled and fuddled!" Said an angry and swirly eyed Kuriboh.

"None of you remember the great Yami?" asked a very astonished Exodia. "But he is your master, your lord, and most importantly... your pharaoh!"

"That what he was!" Dark said jumping back into the conversation. "Pharaoh... of Egypt in....."

"One, Two, Three, Four..." Dark looked over to see Gaia counting.

"Ooooh! What are you doing stupid Knight?!"

"Duh! Trying to figure out how long ago Yami was pharaoh! Little FUR BALL!" Gaia shot back childishly.

"It's much to long ago to count," Dark said bluntly.

Celtic stepped forward a bit. "It would have been five millennia ago that he was pharaoh of Egypt, wouldn't it?" he asked cautiously.

"That is right little elf man!" said a much happier sounding Exodia, as he patted Celtic on the back, causing him to go flying forward.

"For the sake of Amun!" Dark said as he leapt into the elves path of flight and cast a spell.

"Ooooooh! Finish on time he won't!!" Kuriboh said, closing his eyes. And he was right. Though the spell had caused Celtic to slow down, he still hit Dark with enough force to send them both flying another ten feet before hitting the ground.

"I-I'm sorry," Celtic apologized, quickly getting off of the spell-caster.

"It wasn't your fault," Dark said almost sweetly, smiling at the elf, and getting up. They walked back over to the company of monster, only to see something completely unimaginable.

"Oooooh! Stupid! Big BRUTE! Small BRAIN! Oooooh!" came cry after insult after cry from the little ball of fur, directed at the giant of all warriors, Exodia.

"I didn't mean to... I just don't know my own strength.... Come on! I haven't been created in five thousand years!... Stop glowering!!! For the sake of Amun!!!" Exodia tried to defend himself.

"Kuriboh, calm down," Dark said putting his hand on Kuriboh's head.

"You touch KURIBOH!!!! OOOOOOOH!" he turned under Dark's hand, a glare that foreshadowed the coming of death to whom ever it landed on.

"Duck and cover!" Gaia yelled as he charged, leapt through the air, grabbed Kuriboh, and finished his little move with a triple-somersault finish, Kuriboh trying to flail the whole time.

"Ooooh! Knight!!!! You! You DIE!!!!"

"Ahuh, like that's gonna happen Fur Ball!" Gaia said, now holding Kuriboh like a basketball under his right arm, as little arms and legs flailed in little circles. Everyone burst out laughing. After the affect of the struggling fur ball had worn off Dark, Celtic, and Gaia decided to take Exodia to his room.

"Well, you sure are big! We need to find to a BIG room!" Gaia said. He was quickly elbowed in the ribs by Celtic.

"Oh yeah, insult him why don't you?"

"It wasn't an insult... it was an ob.. obse.....?"

"Observation?" Celtic asked evenly.

"Yeah, observasheeon."

"You're a moron," Celtic said before quickening his pace to catch up to Exodia and Dark. "So, what room does he get, what floor?"

"Full of questions aren't you? Like a child..." Dark said trailing off.

"I'm no child! And I have much more intelligence than Mr. Stunt Devil over there," Celtic said shortly, hunching his shoulders up, looking very much like an angry little kid.

"Of coarse he's no child!" Came the booming voice of Exodia. "Why he is a great man of elves! A true warrior! With all the trimmings!"

Celtic straightened up, showed off his strength in his pace... then stopped dead.

"Hahahahahaha," Came laughter from Gaia. "A warrior with all the trimmings, pahahahaha! Yeah, like a pretty garland and a star on top!"

"You are such a moron," Celtic said, hunching his shoulders again and getting back to were he was before.

"I didn't mean in a festive way!" Exodia boomed, laughing much like Gaia. "But, could you just picture... you in a garland and a twinkley little star atop you head?... hahahahaha!" Even Dark started to laugh.

"And some silver streamers all about him," Dark added.

"I don't have to take this! I'm no tree!" Celtic said furiously before turning around and marching back to is room angrily.

"Oh... well, let's get you to you're room then Exodia," Dark said as his laughter minimized to a light chuckle. They walked a ways longer, down a staircase and down another hall. They then stopped at a door that looked like it lead to a tomb and not a room at all. Dark heaved it open and presented it to Exodia. "I never new what this place was for, but I suppose it was meant to be your room..."

The room was tomb like, but also very cozy. It was warm, had a bed and table, including everything else a giant warrior would need. The bed was much larger than the regular ones. As a matter of fact, everything was on a larger scale, but to Exodia it was perfect.

"Well, this is nice," Exodia said looking around. "It's changed a bit in five millennia but it's still as nice as ever."

"Heh look! A BIG room!" Gaia said walking up.

"Yes, big room, for big sleepy monsters. Thank you for showing me to my room, but I believe I will retire for the night." Exodia said, smiling a big toothy, almost evil looking smile.

Gaia jumped behind Dark. Dark looked over his should quickly, laughed a bit, then said good-bye to the newest member of the deck.

"Well that was freaky!" Gaia said as soon as the door had closed.

"That's how he smiles." Dark said shortly, not really wanting to have to talk to Gaia the whole way back to their rooms.

"Well, it's still just a-" and before Gaia could finish he was transported to the first floor's main hallway.

Dark smiled as he walked down the tomb like hall, up the stair into what looked like a modern day hotel , then up three more flights. He went to his room and sat down at his desk. 'So, I have two masters....'

Hicky: Yeah I know it's short but that's okay. Review please, and I hope you liked it.
