"You know what? Let's just stick the arrows back in him and pretend the Uruk-Hai did it. I mean, being killed by a flat dude? How disgraceful!" The others nodded their consent, and began to move the body.

"Hold on just one second!" Joey yelled. "We still need to know where we are!"

"And I have a bone to pick with you." Yami sent Aragorn a death glare.

Aragorn's eyes widened as Yami pulled out another card, and the Celtic Guardian brandished the Uruk-Hai quiver threateningly.

"On second thought, let's just dump Boromir in the river and RUN!"

Behind them, Shadi saw something rolling towards him. It was the Millennium Eye. Shadi glanced at his own items, the Ankh and the Scale. "So that's how we get out of this place!" He exclaimed happily... then frowned as the Eye rolled past him.

A few moments later, Boromir had been hastily shoved into an elvish boat, much to the disliking of Legolas.

"But... but it's ELVISH!" Legolas pouted, looking longingly at the finely painted boat.

"Who cares! We're just lucky that when we split up, the flat dudes went for the hobbits!" Gimli cried, casting a nervous glance over his shoulder.

"WHAT?!" Aragorn yelped. "We didn't split up!"

"Yes we did."

"NO, we DIDN'T!"

Just then, Yami burst out of the trees. "Ah-HA!" he yelled. Suddenly, a particularly strong gust of wind blew him into the river. "*blub* HELLLP!"

Frodo and Sam, meanwhile, were tearing through the trees. Both were short of breath, but neither stopped.

"Why... did... we... split... up?" Sam gasped.

"We... didn't..... split..... up....." Frodo replied.

"Yes... sir... we... did!"

"N...NO... we... did... NOT!"

"Yes... we... did!" Sam insisted.

"NO, we... did... N-" Frodo began, but, because his attention was focused on Sam, was cut off suddenly when he smacked into a tree.

Back in the clearing, the other "flat dudes" watched in fascination as Yami and Joey tore after the... not-flat dudes.

"I figured it out!" Shadi yelled, excitedly. Nobody listened to him, of course. Seto and Bakura wandered into the trees. "Three Millennium Items will transport us back!" Shadi held the Eye up excitedly.

"Huh?" Seto asked, looking back just in time to see the others disappear. "(censored)!"

~*~

Back in Pegasus's castle, the entire Yu-Gi-Oh cast reappeared, minus Seto, Bakura, Yami/Yugi, and Joey.

"I'm back! Haha... hey!" Shadi groaned. He still wasn't attached to his legs.

~*~

In the river, Yami blubbed around a bit before calling out, "I summon... (*blub*) the (*blub*) Great White! (*blub*)"

A shark-resembling creature that really isn't in Yugi's deck in the TV show but is in his starter deck and in his deck in the manga so for the purposes of this story is in his deck popped out.

All of the Lord of the Rings characters that were present blinked, then took a step away from the water as the shark surfaced, Yami clinging to the tail. A bit annoyed at his less-than-perfect reentrance, Yami quickly scrambled to the top of the shark's head. "You!" He yelled, pointing one flat finger dramatically at Aragorn. "Over-detailed heathen, I challenge you... to a duel!

Frodo was unconscious on the ground, a nasty bump forming on his forehead. Sam stood over him, shaking his fist at the tree. Somewhere behind him, Joey was running, but he was no longer on their trail.

In fact, Joey was completely and utterly lost. And hungry. And... "Hey, haven't I been here before?" He stared at the clearing that they'd first appeared in. "I think I have..."
