Sweeten the taste
Chapter 4:
In a couple of minutes the real pilots had come in and Marik tied them up in the corner.
"Marik, when are we gonna take off?"
"As soon as those guys in the back of the plane give the signal."
They waited for a second then saw the people waving different colored flags around and Marik mistook that for 'Go'. Instead of 'Get out that plane you imposters'.
"Alright this is it Malik." Marik started the engine. And flipped a bunch of switches.
"Marik! Do you even know what your doing?!"
"Nope, but I saw a movie like this before. Now, let's see..."
Malik closed his eyes tightly and kept repeating, "There's no place like home...there's no place like home..."
They plane started to go fast along the airstrip, Marik grabbed the microphone, "Passengers, this is your Captain speaking... there's been a change of plans, were going to Mexico. Now, buckle up... because I've never flown a plane before."
That sent everyone into a frenzied panic. People put their seat belts in and prayed for a miracle.
As the plane took off from the ground Marik was wondering which way to go, "Malik, Mexico is to the East right?"
"Yeah, but if we go straight East we'll end up in America. So we've got to go a little south as well."
"Okay, South East it is!"
He started to pull on the controls and the plane turned eastward. "Hey, this is kinda easy. Wanna try Malik?"
Malik fiercely shook his head.
"Oh well. You know, I think we'll get him this time."
"Shouldn't you be concentrating?"
"I am, I am."
It was about an hour later when Malik was getting desperately bored, and somewhat surprised that the plane hadn't crashed into the ocean. Marik was feeling so comfortable flying the plane that he was now using his toes to steer.
"Marik that's not safe."
"What do you know? Go check on the passengers." Marik ordered.
Malik went out of the room to see the first class passengers, "Hello."
They were still cowering in fear and said nothing. Malik smiled and went back into the cockpit. "They're fine."
"Good. Hey do you know what Mexico looks like?"
"No... Well, I saw it on a map once. It kinda looks like a horn. To me anyways... Anywhere you see a gigantic horn, stop there."
"Okay."
Malik sat back down in his chair, "Did Kaiba say what city?"
"No, I forgot to ask."
Malik pulled out the walkie-talkie and pressed the button, "Kaiba? You there?"
"Yup."
"What city is he in?"
"Well," He paused, "He's in Mexico City."
"That's near the Gulf of Mexico isn't it?"
"Sure is."
"Okay, later."
Malik turned to his yami, "He's in Mexico City."
"Great."
It was another two or three hours were spent high in the sky before Marik got confused. "Malik?"
Malik was fast asleep in his chair and Marik didn't bother to wake him up. 'I don't know if this is Mexico or not... Well, I hope it is because this is where I'm landing.'
He started to push the plane in towards the ground, and the downward motion of the plane woke Malik up. "...What are we doing?"
"Landing. Hold on, because I've never even seen this done."
"What?!"
Marik pushed on the handle really hard and the steering controls broke off into Marik's hands. "Oops."
"Ah!" Malik grabbed the announcement microphone, "Attention all passengers! Our pilot has broken the controls and we will now spiral downward to our death!"
"Ahh!" Screams could be heard from every passenger as they cried and ran around in circles.
Marik glared at Malik, "Aw, what'd you do that for?!"
"Were going to die!"
Marik sighed and pushed a red button, just then a huge Para shoot busted from the back of the plane and made it go a little slower as they went down to the ground.
"Well, that should take care of the people. C'mon Malik."
"C'mon? Where are we going? Where can we go?"
Marik grabbed two Para shoots and threw one at his hikari. "Were jumping."
"...You're kidding."
"Do you want to jump or crash?"
Malik put it on and Marik opened the emergency escape door. "Let's go, Malik!"
They jumped out of plane and freefell. "Marik!" Malik screamed, "When do we pull the cord?!"
"What?!"
"When do we pull the cord?!"
"What?!"
"WHEN DO WE PULL THE CORD?!"
"NOW!" They pulled the string dangling by their sides. And big white/red sheets came up above them.
"See, Malik? Fun, huh?"
"Fun? This was probably the most scary thing that ever happened to me!"
"Aw, don't a baby. You liked it."
Malik was quiet until they were about 100 ft from the ground. "Do we just land on our feet?"
"No, tuck and roll."
"Oh..." Malik didn't really know what that meant, so he decided to copy off of whatever Marik did.
They were 5 ft from the ground, Marik tucked his legs under him and Malik did the same. When they hit the ground Marik rolled until his Para shoot was behind him, Malik did the same.
They stood up just in time to see the plane make a huge crash into the water. "Marik, I don't think we did the right thing."
"Oh, they'll live." Marik looked around. "This is Mexico? Hmm. Well, let's call Kaiba."
