Alright, I've decided that YGO doesn't belong to me. Or anything else that may be used, particularly The Elder Scrolls 3, which the characters for the game are entirely based off of. Actually, I've decided that I'm done with filler and that I'm going to get to the actual content. Enjoy and review!
The train had stopped minutes before. Yugi, Mokuba, Anzu, Honda, Kaiba, Jounouchi, Marik, Odion, Ishizu, Otogi, and Ryou, in short, everyone, got off the train. Kaiba lead them into his underground complex. They followed him through corridor after corrider, until they reachd the elevator. Kaiba turned around. Honda and Anzu, Ryou and Otogi, and Jounouchi and Marik were holding hands. Kaiba's face went red with anger.
"What did I finish telling you! My corporation isn't your affection area!" Kaiba said.
"Hmm... We can we play that game, shortstuff?" Yugi asked.
"I'm twice your height! Anyways, we'll be getting into the circular elevator. You won't ask why every elevator I have is circular, and you won't look at the crowd." Kaiba explained.
"Ooo... a crowd?" Otogi asked. Ryou elbowed him in the ribs.
"Just get in..." Kaiba said, rolling his eyes.
Everybody walked into the elevator. Somehow, they all fit. Kaiba entered last, and hit a button labeled three. The elevator rose up, and emerged into the open air. Only the elevator is an enclosed space. And there was a crowd of girls going crazy just to see Kaiba. Most of the fainted. The elevator stopped, and they all proceeded through more corridors. They cam to another elevator, concealed by carefully placed vending machines. They all got in and Kaiba hit a button labeled O. The elevator rose again, and didn't stop for quite awhile.
"Dumdeedoodledum..." Jounouchi sang.
"Bumpleedoodledee..." Marik sang.
"Lumpyhumpleskins..." Honda sang. Anzu looked at him with an evil smile.
"Stop singing, and if either of you too get any closer, I will have you ejected from the elevator!" Kaiba said.
Yugi started rocking back and forth on his feet, moving his head as if he was talking to someone. He looked at Kaiba, smiled, then got back to his rocking. He suddenly got taller, aka Yami. He looked at Kaiba again...
"This'll be interesting..." Marik whispered to Jou.
"What?" Jou asked, whispering.
Just then, Yami turned around and pulled Kaiba down, and stuck his tongue in his mouth. Kaiba didn't know how to react and was caught off guard. Yami quickly stood Kaiba back up. Kaiba punched Yami in in the gut. Yami turned back into Yugi. Kaiba took the Millenium Puzzle from Yugi and stopped the elevator. He opened a small vent in the side with another conviently placed all-to-do type button, and dropped the Puzzle below.
"THERE! No more surprise attacks from that ancient freak!" Kaiba yelled at Yugi, after starting the elevator back up again. "I hope you'll miss him, because that Puzzle will shatter into all of its pieces at the bottom of the shaft!"
"Not really. He stole my innocence." Yugi said.
"Huh?" Mokuba asked.
"You don't need to know what he means, Mokuba." Kaiba said.
"I know exactly what he means, but how?" Mokuba asked.
"I don't know." Yugi said, blushing.
The elevator stopped. Kaiba pushed everyone in his way, out of the way. He stopped outside and turned back towards the group.
"Alright. You won't touch anything in my personal office, but instead make your way down that hall into the blimp. We will fly for a few minutes before reaching the main game complex-" Kaiba stated...
"OOOH! Games!" Yugi shouted.
"Yes, games... Anyways, that's where the emulators are. We'll get on the blimp and it will be a very, VERY, uneventful ride. If anything, and I mean ANYTHING, goes on in that blimp that is not sitting and staring out the windows, you will ALL be pushed out the ramp. Except you, Mokuba. Unless you do something bad." Kaiba finished. And they all proceeded down the hall, not touching anything, and got on the blimp. It took off, and it was indeed a very uneventful trip. Except for when Jounouchi farted. The blimp touched down into a somewhat large hanger. Everyone got off, and Mokuba lead the way. He opened a small door built just for him, but Yugi went inside as well. Some sort of commotion went on inside, and Mokuba pushed Yugi. Yugi turned back at the closing door.
"HEY! How am I supposed to know it's made just for you!" He yells. Kaiba approaches the large door, and it opens automatically. Everyone follows him.
The group has entered a large room with twelve egg shaped pods with glass for the front. Kaiba is facing them.
"These are my latest and greatest virtual emulators. They work like all the others, but are more secure. You won't be trapped inside the game." Kaiba said, going up to one of them. A large holographic message appeared over it, displaying 'Empty, None, None, 0, 0 0'. "As you get close to one of the pods, it will display your game statistics. They are all empty, and once you get in one, that is yours for the rest of the game. It will display your character name, race, class, level, and location. If you are in a town, it won't display the coordinates, but instead the town name. Same applies for a dungeon. Does everyone understand?"
Everyone nodded.
"Mokuba, load my data into Pod One. I have teach these newbies some lessons. Load your own into whatever Pod as well, and execute the security procedures. I want to see you in-game in five minutes. Everyone else, pick a Pod and get in. The game will load up before you are put into it, and you only have to toggle the switches in the top to navigate." Kaiba said.
A holographic arrow appeared over the first Pod on the far left. Kaiba went over to it and it displayed his information: Setoe, High Elf, Sorceror, 7, 13 6. He pressed the blue button on the side, opening the Pod. He got in and sat down, toggling a few switches overhead. The pod closed. Everyone else approached a Pod. They all displayed the same empty except for number two: Mokie, Wood Elf, Scout, 4, 13 7. They each got in one, Ryou #3, Otogi #4, Ishizu #5, Anzu #6, Honda and Jounouchi fought over #7, but Odion got in when they weren't looking, Marik #8, Jounouchi #9, Honda #9, and Yugi got into #12. They all fumbled around with some of the switches.
I'm a bit confused. Here's an ordering of each Pod, 1-12, and what person is in it.
Seto, Mokuba, Ryou, Otogi, Ishizu, Anzu, Odion, Marik, Jounouchi, Honda, empty, Yugi
Back to the ending:
Yugi's Pod opened up after he pressed the big blue button on the side. He sat down in it, and looked up. There were eight switches in four categories, and he read them, left to right: . He noticed that they were all up, except OpenPod. He toggled OpenPod to up and ClosePod to down, and waited for the Pod to close before touching anything else. When it did, he toggled the two Chat switches down.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hey, 12. Who are you?" a holographic message display opened showing Pod9. The voice was a little muffled and distorted, so he couldn't tell who it was.
"This is Yugi. Hey Jou!" he replied.
"Yugi, don't turn both of them on if you're only going to talk to one person." Pod1, Kaiba, said.
"Bah, Kaiba!" Pod9, Jou, said. "Why are our voices distorted? And how do you know this is me, Yug?"
"I saw you get in number nine." he replied.
"These distort your voices so that you don't annoy me." Pod1 replied.
"Hey, chaps, does this Chat function work?" Pod3, Ryou asked.
"It sure does, mate. Hey, how are we going to talk to each other in game?" Pod10, Honda asked.
"Well, thats kinda of a tough question to answer, 10. You can speak to other people normally, but only those within range of your voice can hear you. If you want to talk to someone far away, you can look at your left under-wrist and filter out speech. Seto can explain it to you better. Turn on AutoStart and run the game to get started!" Pod2, Mokuba, explained.
"I'm Chatting off..." Yugi said. He reached up for both switches and flicked them with two fingers, then turned AutoStart on (down) and toggled RunGame. A holographic circle was drawn counterclockwise inside the Pod, and it formed a tunnel, using a grid shape to do so. The tunnel began to sort of drag Yugi in, and he was sucked inwards. After awhile, the tunnel slowly got bigger, and Yugi was back in the Pod. He looked around. He saw that a panel in the right arm of the chair opened, and a screen formed in front of him. He switched Chat1.6 on.
"Mokuba? Kaiba? I think theres's a problem..." he said.
"Do you see a screen with some controls too, 12?" asked Pod4.
"Yeah. I kinda went through this tunnel thing, but I ended up here." he replied.
"Yeah, same thing happened here. I can't seem to contact either Kaiba." they replied.
"What's taking you four so long? Everyone else has already made a character!" Kaiba yelled.
"Four? It's only me and Pod4, isn't it?" Yugi asked.
"Switch on Chat7.12, 9 and 10 aren't in yet." Pod4 said.
Yugi turned that switch on.
"Jounouchi? How come you haven't made a character?" Yugi asked.
"I could ask the same thing, Yug. You're supposed to be really good at these kinds of things. How far are you?" Jou asked.
"You're in 9, Jounouchi?" Pod4 asked.
"Yeah. Who are you, 4?" Jou replied.
"Otogi. Who's in 10?" Otogi asked.
"Honda. Me and him already have our classes decided, which is kinda ironic." Jou said.
"I've got my race down. Can't figure out how to do Class..." Otogi said.
"Hey Yug, how far are you, bud? And I have my race and class done. Can't decide on a name though..." Honda asked.
"I don't have anything..." he replied.
"Aw, it's simple! See that red thumbstick that has four directions labeled next to it?" Jou asked.
"Yeah?" Yugi asked. Replied. Questioned works!
"You can use that to select one of the classes by pressing left or right, and up and down lets you scroll through its description." Jou answered.
"Alright... Let me find something cool..." Yugi said.
"Don't go with something cool, go with something that fits you!" Honda said.
"Those same controls work for selecting a race, too!" Otogi explained.
"You can switch between them using the green thumbstick, but it only goes up or down." Honda added.
"Thanks, Honda!" Jou and Otogi said in unison.
"Hmm..." Yugi sighed. He already had an Wood Elf as a character, but he couldn't decide on a class. He read through all of them, and decided that he was most like a Monk. Now all he needs is a name... "You guys?" he asked.
"Yeah?" they all replied.
"What kind of characters do you have?" he asked.
"I have a Nordic Knight!" Jou stated.
"I'm a Redguard Rogue." Honda said.
"I'm a Khajiiti Thief..." Otogi said.
"As for me, I'm a Wood Elven Monk!" Yugi said.
"Great, Yugi! Using this info, we can probably identify each other easier!" Otogi said.
"I'm getting into the game now. Later, guys!" Honda said.
"I'm with him." Jou said.
"See you later, monk!" Otogi said.
"Bye guys!" Yugi said. He switched off his Chat switches. "At least, I hope they play guys..." he added. He switched to name. A small virtual keyboard appeared. He entered an easy name: Monk. He hit 'Enter' and flipped down to confirm. A small window opened up, asking for a Birthsign. He selected 'The Steed'. He moved onto the next screen, a map. It wants to know which city he wants to start in. Kaiba does have to give him some basic lessons... Where was Kaiba's location?
As I mentioned before, the entire character creation process is based off of 'TES3: Morrowind's in the sense that its the same races, classes, and birthsigns. You'll see that some of the original cities and such will appear, but in a whole new original world with other original cities and stuff.
"Will the game close if I open the Pod? We'll just have to see..." Yugi asked and replied to himself. He reached up and toggled the ClosePod and OpenPod switches. The Pod opened, and the screen turned into a small square over the control panel. He got out and looked around. Marik, Anzu, Otogi, Jounouchi, and Honda were all getting back to their Pods. They must've been looking at Kaiba's info for the same reason Yugi was going to.
Yugi walked towards Kaiba's Pod. Marik and Jounouchi were sharing one last kiss before the game, and Anzu and Honda were really going at it. Otogi looked at Yugi.
"Can't remember the location?" he asked.
"Yeah. I think its seventeen-three..." Yugi answered. "You two shouldn't do that. You're on camera."
Honda and Anzu stopped. They got into their own Pods. Otogi watched them until they closed, then looked back at Yugi.
"It's thirteen-seven. Mokuba's there too. Everyone else... made the same mistake that you did. Only Odion, Ishizu, and Ryou seem to have remembered. Speaking of Ryou..." Otogi went back towards Pod3. He tried opening it. It wouldn't work. "Darn... I really wanted to-"
"I think I know. How come all their eyes are closed?" Yugi asked.
"It clearly tells you to close your eyes before you enter the gaming world, so you don't dry them out." Otogi said.
"How do you know that?"
"I almost entered the game before I checked the co-ordinates. I almost made that mistake!" Otogi said, laughing.
"Oh... Okay. Um... Otogi...?" Yugi asked.
"What?"
"Umm..." Yugi started to blush. "Nothing. See you in-game!" He ran off, waving. He tripped on his shoe lace.
"Wonder what that was about..." Otogi muttered.
Yugi got back to his Pod. It displayed his partial information: Monk, Wood Elf, Monk, 0, CGeneration. He figured it was just temporary. He got in and started to close it. Otogi ran up and knocked on it before Yugi started the game back up. Yugi opened the Pod again.
"Yugi, what were you really going to say?" Otogi asked.
"I... just wanted to wish us the best of luck in the game!" Yugi said, forcing a smile.
"I don't think so..." Otogi said. He reached for Yugi's hand and pulled him up. "I think I know exactly what you wanted to do!" he continued, getting angry. He made a fist and pulled it back. Yugi flinched and closed his eyes. Otogi let his arm swing. And it did swing. It went around Yugi's side and bent down. He kissed Yugi passionately, pulling away after some time. "Is that what you wanted to say?" Otogi asked, seemingly depressed, yet happy he kissed Yugi.
Yugi sighed. "Uh... Sort of..." Yugi said, his eyes falling from their lock on Otogi's. Otogi noticed them stop... and hugged Yugi deeply. Yugi gasped for air. He pushed off of Otogi's legs and took deep breathes. "Are... you... trying to... kill me?" Yugi said, panting. He looked up and took a deep breathe. "I... won't tell Ryou." Yugi added, and got back into his Pod. Otogi walked back to his.
Yugi started up the game after he picked the nearest city to 13 7, Donk Parlim. He read the message Otogi mentioned, about closing his eyes, and finalized his data. He laid his index finger on the 'Uplink' button on the panel. He closed his eyes and pushed it.
And then they all blew up!
Dun dun dun!
Not really. But you won't know that until next chapter.
Yeah, I kinda just blew through this one. I really want to get to the actual game, and make so many people suffer. It'll also be somewhat funny.
Review!
Okay, I couldn't let this one slip by. Remember the blimp ride? Here's an editted, funnier version:
"Yes, games... Anyways, that's where the emulators are. We'll get on the blimp and it will be a very, VERY, uneventful ride. If anything, and I mean ANYTHING, goes on in that blimp that is not sitting and staring out the windows, you will ALL be pushed out the ramp. Except you, Mokuba. Unless you do something bad." Kaiba finished.
And they all proceeded down the hall, and despite Kaiba's best efforts, Ryou managed to trip and break Kaiba's prized marble Blue-Eyes White Dragon statues. Anzu, thinking it was a game, picked up a silver collectors plate of the Blue-Eyes and offered to play frisby with Honda. Honda shook his head, but Anzu threw the plate anyways. It hit the wall near Kaiba and bent in half. Kaiba then went back down the hall towards Anzu, grabbed her by the collar, and dragged her to the window. He hit another conviently located all-purpose button that opened the window, and pushed Anzu out. Honda hit Kaiba upside and the head and dived after Anzu, trying to save her. Kaiba closed the window, the herded the group down the hall and got on the blimp. It took off, and it was an uneventful trip as Kaiba had planned. Then again, Honda and Anzu were out of the picture, which kept things half sanitary. Half meaning when Jounouchi farted. Kaiba kept his word and dragged Jou over to the ramp, opening it, and pushed him out. Jounouchi, being a quick thinker of times of actual peril, grabbed the near by window sill. His clothes were sucked into the nearby engine. Ryou and Otogi couldn't help but laugh at this sight, so Kaiba ushered them towards the open ramp.
"I'm going to flip a coin. One of you two will call it. Whoever calls it correctly gets pushed out first." He explained. Otogi and Ryou looked at each other. Kaiba flipped the coin into the air, and while Otogi and Ryou were tracking it and about to call it, Kaiba pushed both of them out, just as the blimp touched down into a somewhat large hanger. They both suffered from ankle pains.
Everyone got off, and Mokuba lead the way. He opened a small door built just for him, but Yugi went inside as well. Some sort of commotion went on inside, and Mokuba pushed Yugi. Yugi turned back at the closing door. "Well how am I supposed to know you don't think that way!" he yelled.
The train had stopped minutes before. Yugi, Mokuba, Anzu, Honda, Kaiba, Jounouchi, Marik, Odion, Ishizu, Otogi, and Ryou, in short, everyone, got off the train. Kaiba lead them into his underground complex. They followed him through corridor after corrider, until they reachd the elevator. Kaiba turned around. Honda and Anzu, Ryou and Otogi, and Jounouchi and Marik were holding hands. Kaiba's face went red with anger.
"What did I finish telling you! My corporation isn't your affection area!" Kaiba said.
"Hmm... We can we play that game, shortstuff?" Yugi asked.
"I'm twice your height! Anyways, we'll be getting into the circular elevator. You won't ask why every elevator I have is circular, and you won't look at the crowd." Kaiba explained.
"Ooo... a crowd?" Otogi asked. Ryou elbowed him in the ribs.
"Just get in..." Kaiba said, rolling his eyes.
Everybody walked into the elevator. Somehow, they all fit. Kaiba entered last, and hit a button labeled three. The elevator rose up, and emerged into the open air. Only the elevator is an enclosed space. And there was a crowd of girls going crazy just to see Kaiba. Most of the fainted. The elevator stopped, and they all proceeded through more corridors. They cam to another elevator, concealed by carefully placed vending machines. They all got in and Kaiba hit a button labeled O. The elevator rose again, and didn't stop for quite awhile.
"Dumdeedoodledum..." Jounouchi sang.
"Bumpleedoodledee..." Marik sang.
"Lumpyhumpleskins..." Honda sang. Anzu looked at him with an evil smile.
"Stop singing, and if either of you too get any closer, I will have you ejected from the elevator!" Kaiba said.
Yugi started rocking back and forth on his feet, moving his head as if he was talking to someone. He looked at Kaiba, smiled, then got back to his rocking. He suddenly got taller, aka Yami. He looked at Kaiba again...
"This'll be interesting..." Marik whispered to Jou.
"What?" Jou asked, whispering.
Just then, Yami turned around and pulled Kaiba down, and stuck his tongue in his mouth. Kaiba didn't know how to react and was caught off guard. Yami quickly stood Kaiba back up. Kaiba punched Yami in in the gut. Yami turned back into Yugi. Kaiba took the Millenium Puzzle from Yugi and stopped the elevator. He opened a small vent in the side with another conviently placed all-to-do type button, and dropped the Puzzle below.
"THERE! No more surprise attacks from that ancient freak!" Kaiba yelled at Yugi, after starting the elevator back up again. "I hope you'll miss him, because that Puzzle will shatter into all of its pieces at the bottom of the shaft!"
"Not really. He stole my innocence." Yugi said.
"Huh?" Mokuba asked.
"You don't need to know what he means, Mokuba." Kaiba said.
"I know exactly what he means, but how?" Mokuba asked.
"I don't know." Yugi said, blushing.
The elevator stopped. Kaiba pushed everyone in his way, out of the way. He stopped outside and turned back towards the group.
"Alright. You won't touch anything in my personal office, but instead make your way down that hall into the blimp. We will fly for a few minutes before reaching the main game complex-" Kaiba stated...
"OOOH! Games!" Yugi shouted.
"Yes, games... Anyways, that's where the emulators are. We'll get on the blimp and it will be a very, VERY, uneventful ride. If anything, and I mean ANYTHING, goes on in that blimp that is not sitting and staring out the windows, you will ALL be pushed out the ramp. Except you, Mokuba. Unless you do something bad." Kaiba finished. And they all proceeded down the hall, not touching anything, and got on the blimp. It took off, and it was indeed a very uneventful trip. Except for when Jounouchi farted. The blimp touched down into a somewhat large hanger. Everyone got off, and Mokuba lead the way. He opened a small door built just for him, but Yugi went inside as well. Some sort of commotion went on inside, and Mokuba pushed Yugi. Yugi turned back at the closing door.
"HEY! How am I supposed to know it's made just for you!" He yells. Kaiba approaches the large door, and it opens automatically. Everyone follows him.
The group has entered a large room with twelve egg shaped pods with glass for the front. Kaiba is facing them.
"These are my latest and greatest virtual emulators. They work like all the others, but are more secure. You won't be trapped inside the game." Kaiba said, going up to one of them. A large holographic message appeared over it, displaying 'Empty, None, None, 0, 0 0'. "As you get close to one of the pods, it will display your game statistics. They are all empty, and once you get in one, that is yours for the rest of the game. It will display your character name, race, class, level, and location. If you are in a town, it won't display the coordinates, but instead the town name. Same applies for a dungeon. Does everyone understand?"
Everyone nodded.
"Mokuba, load my data into Pod One. I have teach these newbies some lessons. Load your own into whatever Pod as well, and execute the security procedures. I want to see you in-game in five minutes. Everyone else, pick a Pod and get in. The game will load up before you are put into it, and you only have to toggle the switches in the top to navigate." Kaiba said.
A holographic arrow appeared over the first Pod on the far left. Kaiba went over to it and it displayed his information: Setoe, High Elf, Sorceror, 7, 13 6. He pressed the blue button on the side, opening the Pod. He got in and sat down, toggling a few switches overhead. The pod closed. Everyone else approached a Pod. They all displayed the same empty except for number two: Mokie, Wood Elf, Scout, 4, 13 7. They each got in one, Ryou #3, Otogi #4, Ishizu #5, Anzu #6, Honda and Jounouchi fought over #7, but Odion got in when they weren't looking, Marik #8, Jounouchi #9, Honda #9, and Yugi got into #12. They all fumbled around with some of the switches.
I'm a bit confused. Here's an ordering of each Pod, 1-12, and what person is in it.
Seto, Mokuba, Ryou, Otogi, Ishizu, Anzu, Odion, Marik, Jounouchi, Honda, empty, Yugi
Back to the ending:
Yugi's Pod opened up after he pressed the big blue button on the side. He sat down in it, and looked up. There were eight switches in four categories, and he read them, left to right: . He noticed that they were all up, except OpenPod. He toggled OpenPod to up and ClosePod to down, and waited for the Pod to close before touching anything else. When it did, he toggled the two Chat switches down.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hey, 12. Who are you?" a holographic message display opened showing Pod9. The voice was a little muffled and distorted, so he couldn't tell who it was.
"This is Yugi. Hey Jou!" he replied.
"Yugi, don't turn both of them on if you're only going to talk to one person." Pod1, Kaiba, said.
"Bah, Kaiba!" Pod9, Jou, said. "Why are our voices distorted? And how do you know this is me, Yug?"
"I saw you get in number nine." he replied.
"These distort your voices so that you don't annoy me." Pod1 replied.
"Hey, chaps, does this Chat function work?" Pod3, Ryou asked.
"It sure does, mate. Hey, how are we going to talk to each other in game?" Pod10, Honda asked.
"Well, thats kinda of a tough question to answer, 10. You can speak to other people normally, but only those within range of your voice can hear you. If you want to talk to someone far away, you can look at your left under-wrist and filter out speech. Seto can explain it to you better. Turn on AutoStart and run the game to get started!" Pod2, Mokuba, explained.
"I'm Chatting off..." Yugi said. He reached up for both switches and flicked them with two fingers, then turned AutoStart on (down) and toggled RunGame. A holographic circle was drawn counterclockwise inside the Pod, and it formed a tunnel, using a grid shape to do so. The tunnel began to sort of drag Yugi in, and he was sucked inwards. After awhile, the tunnel slowly got bigger, and Yugi was back in the Pod. He looked around. He saw that a panel in the right arm of the chair opened, and a screen formed in front of him. He switched Chat1.6 on.
"Mokuba? Kaiba? I think theres's a problem..." he said.
"Do you see a screen with some controls too, 12?" asked Pod4.
"Yeah. I kinda went through this tunnel thing, but I ended up here." he replied.
"Yeah, same thing happened here. I can't seem to contact either Kaiba." they replied.
"What's taking you four so long? Everyone else has already made a character!" Kaiba yelled.
"Four? It's only me and Pod4, isn't it?" Yugi asked.
"Switch on Chat7.12, 9 and 10 aren't in yet." Pod4 said.
Yugi turned that switch on.
"Jounouchi? How come you haven't made a character?" Yugi asked.
"I could ask the same thing, Yug. You're supposed to be really good at these kinds of things. How far are you?" Jou asked.
"You're in 9, Jounouchi?" Pod4 asked.
"Yeah. Who are you, 4?" Jou replied.
"Otogi. Who's in 10?" Otogi asked.
"Honda. Me and him already have our classes decided, which is kinda ironic." Jou said.
"I've got my race down. Can't figure out how to do Class..." Otogi said.
"Hey Yug, how far are you, bud? And I have my race and class done. Can't decide on a name though..." Honda asked.
"I don't have anything..." he replied.
"Aw, it's simple! See that red thumbstick that has four directions labeled next to it?" Jou asked.
"Yeah?" Yugi asked. Replied. Questioned works!
"You can use that to select one of the classes by pressing left or right, and up and down lets you scroll through its description." Jou answered.
"Alright... Let me find something cool..." Yugi said.
"Don't go with something cool, go with something that fits you!" Honda said.
"Those same controls work for selecting a race, too!" Otogi explained.
"You can switch between them using the green thumbstick, but it only goes up or down." Honda added.
"Thanks, Honda!" Jou and Otogi said in unison.
"Hmm..." Yugi sighed. He already had an Wood Elf as a character, but he couldn't decide on a class. He read through all of them, and decided that he was most like a Monk. Now all he needs is a name... "You guys?" he asked.
"Yeah?" they all replied.
"What kind of characters do you have?" he asked.
"I have a Nordic Knight!" Jou stated.
"I'm a Redguard Rogue." Honda said.
"I'm a Khajiiti Thief..." Otogi said.
"As for me, I'm a Wood Elven Monk!" Yugi said.
"Great, Yugi! Using this info, we can probably identify each other easier!" Otogi said.
"I'm getting into the game now. Later, guys!" Honda said.
"I'm with him." Jou said.
"See you later, monk!" Otogi said.
"Bye guys!" Yugi said. He switched off his Chat switches. "At least, I hope they play guys..." he added. He switched to name. A small virtual keyboard appeared. He entered an easy name: Monk. He hit 'Enter' and flipped down to confirm. A small window opened up, asking for a Birthsign. He selected 'The Steed'. He moved onto the next screen, a map. It wants to know which city he wants to start in. Kaiba does have to give him some basic lessons... Where was Kaiba's location?
As I mentioned before, the entire character creation process is based off of 'TES3: Morrowind's in the sense that its the same races, classes, and birthsigns. You'll see that some of the original cities and such will appear, but in a whole new original world with other original cities and stuff.
"Will the game close if I open the Pod? We'll just have to see..." Yugi asked and replied to himself. He reached up and toggled the ClosePod and OpenPod switches. The Pod opened, and the screen turned into a small square over the control panel. He got out and looked around. Marik, Anzu, Otogi, Jounouchi, and Honda were all getting back to their Pods. They must've been looking at Kaiba's info for the same reason Yugi was going to.
Yugi walked towards Kaiba's Pod. Marik and Jounouchi were sharing one last kiss before the game, and Anzu and Honda were really going at it. Otogi looked at Yugi.
"Can't remember the location?" he asked.
"Yeah. I think its seventeen-three..." Yugi answered. "You two shouldn't do that. You're on camera."
Honda and Anzu stopped. They got into their own Pods. Otogi watched them until they closed, then looked back at Yugi.
"It's thirteen-seven. Mokuba's there too. Everyone else... made the same mistake that you did. Only Odion, Ishizu, and Ryou seem to have remembered. Speaking of Ryou..." Otogi went back towards Pod3. He tried opening it. It wouldn't work. "Darn... I really wanted to-"
"I think I know. How come all their eyes are closed?" Yugi asked.
"It clearly tells you to close your eyes before you enter the gaming world, so you don't dry them out." Otogi said.
"How do you know that?"
"I almost entered the game before I checked the co-ordinates. I almost made that mistake!" Otogi said, laughing.
"Oh... Okay. Um... Otogi...?" Yugi asked.
"What?"
"Umm..." Yugi started to blush. "Nothing. See you in-game!" He ran off, waving. He tripped on his shoe lace.
"Wonder what that was about..." Otogi muttered.
Yugi got back to his Pod. It displayed his partial information: Monk, Wood Elf, Monk, 0, CGeneration. He figured it was just temporary. He got in and started to close it. Otogi ran up and knocked on it before Yugi started the game back up. Yugi opened the Pod again.
"Yugi, what were you really going to say?" Otogi asked.
"I... just wanted to wish us the best of luck in the game!" Yugi said, forcing a smile.
"I don't think so..." Otogi said. He reached for Yugi's hand and pulled him up. "I think I know exactly what you wanted to do!" he continued, getting angry. He made a fist and pulled it back. Yugi flinched and closed his eyes. Otogi let his arm swing. And it did swing. It went around Yugi's side and bent down. He kissed Yugi passionately, pulling away after some time. "Is that what you wanted to say?" Otogi asked, seemingly depressed, yet happy he kissed Yugi.
Yugi sighed. "Uh... Sort of..." Yugi said, his eyes falling from their lock on Otogi's. Otogi noticed them stop... and hugged Yugi deeply. Yugi gasped for air. He pushed off of Otogi's legs and took deep breathes. "Are... you... trying to... kill me?" Yugi said, panting. He looked up and took a deep breathe. "I... won't tell Ryou." Yugi added, and got back into his Pod. Otogi walked back to his.
Yugi started up the game after he picked the nearest city to 13 7, Donk Parlim. He read the message Otogi mentioned, about closing his eyes, and finalized his data. He laid his index finger on the 'Uplink' button on the panel. He closed his eyes and pushed it.
And then they all blew up!
Dun dun dun!
Not really. But you won't know that until next chapter.
Yeah, I kinda just blew through this one. I really want to get to the actual game, and make so many people suffer. It'll also be somewhat funny.
Review!
Okay, I couldn't let this one slip by. Remember the blimp ride? Here's an editted, funnier version:
"Yes, games... Anyways, that's where the emulators are. We'll get on the blimp and it will be a very, VERY, uneventful ride. If anything, and I mean ANYTHING, goes on in that blimp that is not sitting and staring out the windows, you will ALL be pushed out the ramp. Except you, Mokuba. Unless you do something bad." Kaiba finished.
And they all proceeded down the hall, and despite Kaiba's best efforts, Ryou managed to trip and break Kaiba's prized marble Blue-Eyes White Dragon statues. Anzu, thinking it was a game, picked up a silver collectors plate of the Blue-Eyes and offered to play frisby with Honda. Honda shook his head, but Anzu threw the plate anyways. It hit the wall near Kaiba and bent in half. Kaiba then went back down the hall towards Anzu, grabbed her by the collar, and dragged her to the window. He hit another conviently located all-purpose button that opened the window, and pushed Anzu out. Honda hit Kaiba upside and the head and dived after Anzu, trying to save her. Kaiba closed the window, the herded the group down the hall and got on the blimp. It took off, and it was an uneventful trip as Kaiba had planned. Then again, Honda and Anzu were out of the picture, which kept things half sanitary. Half meaning when Jounouchi farted. Kaiba kept his word and dragged Jou over to the ramp, opening it, and pushed him out. Jounouchi, being a quick thinker of times of actual peril, grabbed the near by window sill. His clothes were sucked into the nearby engine. Ryou and Otogi couldn't help but laugh at this sight, so Kaiba ushered them towards the open ramp.
"I'm going to flip a coin. One of you two will call it. Whoever calls it correctly gets pushed out first." He explained. Otogi and Ryou looked at each other. Kaiba flipped the coin into the air, and while Otogi and Ryou were tracking it and about to call it, Kaiba pushed both of them out, just as the blimp touched down into a somewhat large hanger. They both suffered from ankle pains.
Everyone got off, and Mokuba lead the way. He opened a small door built just for him, but Yugi went inside as well. Some sort of commotion went on inside, and Mokuba pushed Yugi. Yugi turned back at the closing door. "Well how am I supposed to know you don't think that way!" he yelled.
