Rosa: Stupid computer. It's making my chapters appear as one big mass.
Blue: *bounces up and down*Yay! New chapter!
Rosa: The action starts to build up in this chapter. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, just in case you forgot.
Chapter Four: To fight.or not to fight
"Throw it away and punch him in the nose!"~ Harry Potter
Marik hummed a little as he walked down the streets of Battle City.
Today was the day he would finally beat Yugi and claim the Pharaoh's power for his own. He would also get Slifer the Sky Dragon back. Just a few more minutes. Then he would finally be Pharaoh.
*****
A few hours earlier, Yami Bakura had broken out of the hospital. He had to find Marik. Marik would tell him who he needed to duel in order to fulfill his end of the bargain they had made. Once he did that, the Millennium Puzzle would be his, and the other Millennium Items soon after. Then he would rule the world.
*****
Yugi had met up with his friends. As they walked, they talked about the upcoming Finals. Joey was getting all excited.
"I'm gonna win the Finals!" He said. "I'm goin' to the top!"
"Yeah, right."
Joey turned around to see Seto, Mokuba, and Rosa standing a little ways off.
Joey scowled. "Ah, what do you know, Kaiba?"
Seto smirked. "More than you."
Bakura showed up then. "Hey, guys, what's going on?"
Yugi looked shocked that Bakura was not in the hospital. "Bakura! What are you doing here? You're hurt!"
Bakura shrugged. "I'm fine."
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Pharaoh's friend and his band of cronies."
They turned around to see.Marik.
Joey blinked. "Hey! You're Namu!"
"Namu?" Marik scoffed. "No. I am Marik."
He turned to Yugi. "So, Yugi, we finally meet face to face."
"Sorry, Marik. I'm in no mood to deal with you today."
"Too bad, I'm here," Marik said with a smug grin. "Prepare to duel for your Puzzle!"
Joey stepped forward. "Hey, listen, Marik. Yugi's got enough cards to be in the Finals, so just duel him then!"
"I have six cards too, but I don't want to wait," Marik sneered.
"And I don't want to duel," Yugi said.
"Hey, Yug, I got a great idea!" Joey blurted excitedly. "Let me duel Marik!"
His friends snorted with laughter.
"WHAT?" Joey asked. "I can take him! I can!"
"Joey, you're not even in his league!" Tristan yelled out. "I mean, Yugi just barely beat him in all those duels-no offense, Yugi."
"None taken," Yugi said, flinching as Yamimon bit his hand. "Stop it," he whispered fiercely to Yamimon.
"I'm tired, I'm hungry, and I'm BORED!!!" Yamimon blurted.
Everyone stared at him.
"Did that."
"What the."
"The toy talked!"
"That's no toy!" Blue squealed from his perch in Rosa's arms. "That's a Duel Monster!"
"Another one?"
"Oh, he must have hatched from the egg."
"What egg?"
"Joey, you dork, the dragon's egg that Ishizu gave us!"
Blue wiggled free and landed on the sidewalk. Yamimon tried to follow suit, but was having a hard time insuring his release until he bit Yugi again.
The two Duel Monsters played together.
"Monsters aren't real."
"Yes, they are. There's two of them right here and."
"SHUT UP!!!!" Marik yelled. Everyone stared at him.
"You're still here?" Yugi asked.
"YES! I have a Puzzle to win, and a world to take over!"
Just then, Yugi remembered: His Puzzle no longer worked because Yami was gone! 'I'll play a nice little trick on Marik' he thought.
"Okay, then. If you want it so bad, here!" He tossed the Puzzle to Marik, who, caught completely by surprise, almost dropped it.
Everyone besides Marik looked at Yugi in surprise.
Yugi winked at them. 'Watch this' he mouthed.
"At last," Marik breathed, beginning to gloat quite evilly. "It's mine, the Puzzle is mine.all mine!"
"Oh, did I mention it's useless?" Yugi asked.
Marik paused in his gloating. "Huh?"
"It won't work because Yami is gone."
Marik looked aghast. "What?"
"Yami has been missing for two days," Now it was Yugi's turn to smirk.
"Well, this thing is useless, then!" Marik yelled, chucking the Millennium Puzzle away. The Puzzle smacked Joey in the forehead, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
"JOEY!" Yugi yelled.
Marik glared at Yugi. "Ha, ha. Funny, Yugi. Funny."
Yugi and the others were laughing. Seto was amused greatly by what had happened to Joey.
"I turned your friends into mindslaves once, and I can do it again! I can keep doing it until I get what I want!" Marik snarled.
Yugi stopped laughing. He was no longer smiling. He looked scared.
Marik whirled on Seto. "And you," he sneered. "What makes you think I won't turn your brother and his friend into mindslaves? I can do it, you know."
Seto moved in front of Rosa and Mokuba.
"I won't let you," He declared.
"Who's going to stop me?" Marik asked with an evil smile.
"You'll have to get through me first to get to them!" Seto said angrily.
It looked like an all-out war was about to start. Yugi and his friends were tense, and Seto looked like he was thinking about punching Marik. In all the commotion, no one noticed the sky.
