OOC (out of context): I'm sorry for being so slow in updating the story. I've been really busy lately-

Joey: Oh yes, playing Prince of Persia IS busy.

BaneOfTheWorld: For your information, I beat that game BEFORE I started this fanfic, Sparky!

Joey: Oh.... Then what about .hack: mutation? (knocked over by shoe)

BaneOfTheWorld: ANYWAYS, I've been busy sleeping, doing a million chores, and the other spare moment of my time is spent doing a drama thing, and I've been getting up at 7, working it until 12, then going back from 6- 9:30. So please forgive me-

Joey: Then you had to watch the InuYasha marathon too! I saw you watching it!

BaneOfTheWorld: That was a tape.... AND IN Conclusion, I should be more prompt in writing this, well, starting now. Thanks for being patient! And about the Super Monster: I'm sorry about that! I can't find my Yu-Gi-Oh tapes, and so I forgot the name. It's the one where it uses the elements, and has three parts..... You know... the funny lookin' one! Crap.... They're all funny lookin'....

And since the editor isn't letting me put in the normal action symbols, I'm using parantheses () in thei place. So it basically is (sweatdrop) or (sigh).

--------------------------------------

As the heroes walked, they came to a cave. They decided that it wouldn't hurt to try it, there may be more duelists from whom they could steal er, duel starchips from, and then they could finally enter the castle. As they walked, they heard a rumbling. A giant boulder was starting to block the entrance.

Tae: I recognize that man! He's the man from VIZ!

They all run up the entrance, but not quickly enough. The boulder slams shut, but leaves small crack. Being as short as he was, Yugi only had to bend over to talk through the widest part.

Yugi: Mr. VIZ man, why are you doing this?

VIZ man: I can't take it anymore! If I let you win against Pegasus, there will be at least three more seasons! Now you will never get out alive, and there won't be any more stupid shows about people that duel with cards!

Another voice (muffled): Hey lookit! I got another script! It's called "Duel Masters!'

VIZ man: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The heroes listened in concern to the ruckus that resulted, but it was soon silent, as if the VIZ man had run away chasing the other in his madness.

Yugi: Is anyone there?

There was no answer. Yugi straightened up.

Yugi: Well, we're stuck here. But I'm sure there could be another way out, the VIZ man doesn't know this island THAT well. At least I don't think so. So let's see where it leads.

Everyone: Ok.

They walked along the tunnel, until it spilt in two.

Tristan: What now?

Joey: Let's flip a coin! We don't want to split up, what if both tunnels lead to completely different places. Now, who's got a coin?

Tea reaches into her pocket, and pulls out about twenty quarters. She dumps the rest back. Everyone stares, and she shrugs.

Tea: I heard this place had good arcade games.

She gives the quarter to Bakura.

Bakura (announcer voice): It'll be between Tristan and Yugi! Call it on the air! Heads is left, Tails is right!!

He flips the coin.

Tristan: TAILS!

Yugi growled, that was what he was going to call. They watched as the coin flipped, and Bakura caught it, then flipped it over onto his palm.

Bakura: Tails it is! We go right! (Sigh) I wanted to go left.... How ironic, huh chaps?

Tristan: OH I WIN! How you like that, huh Yugi?

Yugi: We're still walking either way, Tristan.

Joey: Do you guys have any idea how weird we really are?

Tea: You're right.... At least we don't have Mia here to make things even worse.

Joey: Thank goodness for that!

They went right, and walked until they entered a more man-made corridor. They came to a four-way cross intersection, and saw that about ten feet later there was another intersection that looked exactly the same.

Tristan: Man, how are we going to get through here? We could be lost for years! That VIZ man sure knew what he was doing when he locked us in here.

Bakura nodded, when his ring suddenly became visible, and shot straight out. It pulled him forcibly down the corridor, and everyone ran after him.

Joey: Bakura? What is your problem!?

Bakura: My ring is pulling me, and it hurts!

He turned left, and everyone skidded around the corner, following him the best they could. The ring turned right at the next corner, but Bakura didn't. He smacked into a wall with a loud thud, and then was pulled to the right as well. Everyone winced when he hit the wall.

Yugi: Glad my Millennium item doesn't do that.

Joey (sarcastically): Yours only has another person whom randomly takes control of your body.

Yugi: True.

Tristan: Will you two shut up? We'll lose Bakura.

Tea: I think he should keep his Ring somewhere other than his neck next time.

Yugi: But it's how everyone is wearing their Millennium item!

Tea: Pegasus wears his in his eye.

Yugi: Oh, and you want me to cram my pyramid in my eye? There's a reason it's called his Millennium EYE. Gosh, how stupid can you get, Tea?

Yugi turned another corner that Bakura had gone, and ran right into him, knocking him down. Joey then ran into Yugi, Tea into Joey, and Tristan into Tea.

Bakura: Ouchies...

Everyone got off him, and burshed themselves off. Joey looked at why he had stopped. There was a glowing white barrier covering the entire path.

Tristan: Wow, some guide your ring is, Bakura. Why did you follow it?

Bakura: I didn't have much of a choice, Tristan.

Tristan: Oh yeah...

Joey: Welp, I geuss we should try walking through.

Bakura, Yugi, and Tea: I'm not trying!

Tea: It might fry us up!

Joey: So why are you guys making us go?

Tea: You're the only two who are stupid enough!

Joey: Oh really! Sure thing, Miss 'Yugi, why don't you put the Millinnuem puzzle in your eye!'

Tea started to say something, then conceded the point.

Tristan: I'm not going through there.

Joey: I'll play you for it! Rock, Paper, Sissors!

Tristan: You're on!

They played, both coming up with rock. They did it again, both having paper. They did it again, and came up with both rock again. Then Joey got Sissors, and Tristan got paper.

Tristan: Best two out of three!

Joey: NO! You lost fair and square.

Tristan gulped, and walked forward. He went into the glow, and it faded away, to reveal a room.

Tristan: Wow, that was fairly painless.

The rest of the gang followed him, and passed him to look over the room. They hadn't gotten very far when two men jumped out at them. They did a bunch of martial arts, and then stood proudly in front of the group.

Yugi: Uh......that was supossed to impress us?

One of the men whacked Yugi upside the head.

Man 1: Insolent piece if s-

A hand was suddenly clamped over the man's mouth. He managed to twist around the see Bakura.

Bakura: I TOLD YOU TO KEEP THE PG RATING!

Light erupts from him, and he becomes Dark Bakura or DB. Dark Bakura glares at them all, and they shrink back to the normally innocent Englishman so angry and evil.

DB: I want some nice clean entertainment! You will duel, but first, you must leanr what clean entertainment is while suffering unspeakably cruel and unusual punishment! You will watch..... HAMTARO!

Everyone: (gasp)

Men: We'll be good! Anything but that!

DB: Too late! But before I turn it on, you must tell me your names!

Man1: Para

Man 2: Dox. It goes together, see? ParaDox, Para and Dox!

Dark Bakura let out an evil laugh, and a gaint TV screen rolled down behind him. He pulled out a remote from nowhere, and turned it on. The intro song to Hamtaro started playing, and it was about 10 times bigger than normal. Everyone cringed, as Dark Bakura stepped down from his point of power. For the next half hour Hamtaro played. By the end all were in shock, exept for Dark Bakura.

DB: It's all over. You may now duel. And we will duel MY way.

Another evil laugh. Para and Dox walked quietly to the end of the del arena, and Joey and Yugi went to thiers.

DB: Now, you will become the card you like most. You will be transported to the arena through my dark powers, and then you will have a free-for-all. Got it?

Everyone nodded. Yugi disappeared, and then popped back up in the arena in the Dark Magician's clothes. Joey disappeared next, and reappeared in a skimpy girl's outfit, with wings on his arms and claws for feet. He even had the long red hair. He was in the outfit of Harpy's Lady, Mai's absolute favorite card.

Joey: THIS IS NOT FUNNY!

DB: WAHAHAHAHA YES IT IS!!!!!!

Joey: But I did nothing to stain the rating! I've been a perfect angel while managing to be sexy!

DB: Hmmmmm..... you are right. I'll change you to the right monster.

There was a pop, and Joey was suddenly in the Flaming Swordsman's Clothes.

Joey: Thank you!

DB: Don't mention it. Now back to being evil!!

Dark Bakura went to Para and Dox, changing Para into a part of the awesome monster that was in the show. Dox flicked out a card, leaving it down in the field before he was changed into the second part of the monster. The labrynth grew up.

Yugi: Wait, I have Yami in me still. What do we do with him?

BD: He goes to the other side.

Yugi and Joey: WHAT?

Yami suddenly appears as the last part of the monster, and it melds to become the Super Monster. It stalked into the maze, and was lost to site.

Joey: Dang! We can't see it!

Yugi: Maybe this is like Capture the Flag without the flashlights! You have to get to the other side without dying! But how....

Joey: I know!

He uses his flaming sword to burn through the walls of the Labyrinth. Joey and Yugi ran through, looking for the Super Monster. They got to the other side, when the Super Monster comes out.

Para: You idiot! You have to find the flag, and then go back to your side!

Joey: (sweatdrop) The point is to kill the opponent, not capture a flag!

Para and Yugi: Oh yeah...

Dox: Wait, hey Dark Bakura! Do you really die if you die in this?

DB: Of course not! What would it do to the rating if someone really died! But to add suspense, pretend like you really will!

Dox: OK!

The two side then began to fight. Yugi Dark Magiked Para, but he was blocked by a wall of water by Dox. Yami was doing nothing, not really wanting his side to win. Joey made the wall of water steam, but was hit by a energy bolt. He was thrown backwards, and his sword went flying out of his hands. Yugi took the opening to Dark Magic the Super Monster, and almost totally wiped out Para. Joey jumped back up, and grabbed his sword, and with a flying leap killed Para. Para disappeared, and was back in the regular world.

Yugi: Yes! The odds are even now!

Dox: You fool! The energy blast will kill Joey in one shot-

Joey: Hey!

Dox: You were already hit once, no one can get hit twice with such a attack and live.

Joey: Oh ok then.

Dox: As I was saying, we can kill Joey in one more blast, and then you have no more help-

At that moment Yami parted from Dox, and water blasted him into nothing.

Yami: Bwahahahaha you never expected me to switch sides now, did you!

Dox reappered in the regular world.

Dox: No fair! Dark Bakura, is that legal?

DB: I rather like it! So Joey and Yugi win!

Yami: And me! Don't forget about me!

DB: Whatever. Everyone back!

Everyone goes back to normal, and Yugi grins, high fiving Joey.

Yugi: Yeah! You have to admit, that's the best action scene that this show has ever had, except for you beating the crap outta Bandit Keith.

Joey: Yeah that was pretty spectacular!

Dark Bakura reverts back to Bakura.

Bakura: Great show! That was some stuff my alter ego put you through!

Tristan: You mean, you could have controlled him and kept him from making watch Hamtaro?

Bakura: That I'm not sure about. He was quite insistent, wasn't he?

Tea: (sweatdrop)

Para and Dox: You beat us fair and square, now pick a door! One will lead to doom, and the other to your freedom!

Dox (whispering): Wanan know a secret? They both lead out. We would get sued if we actually killed someone down here.

The gang cheered, and ran out one of the doors. After a good fifteen minute run they slowed down, and walked. They saw light, and ran out.

Tristan: Ha! The VIZ man is foiled!

Joey: Let's go find some food.

Everyone: Good idea.

They started up the stairs, but stopped. There was someone at the top of the stairs!
