Sdrive: this is the next installment of my Power of the Gods story.
Shi: So the Ring lead them, and now they are looking into a forest.
Sdrive: Yep. And now for the Disclaimer
Yami Bakura: Oh come on you foolish mortals. If he owned them would he really be writing it on Fanfiction and would I really have to be doing this. And besides since everyone on Fan fiction doesn't own anything then do you really think he's any different? Get on with the Story.
Sdrive: righty o. Oh yeah. I'm going to call Yami Bakura Y. Bakura from now on. It just allows better writing speed. Enjoy
------------
The gang new that they would have a long walk ahead of them. If the ring had pointed down 10 miles forward then it might take them a while to get through the forest. Especially if they came across any tall grass or weeds.
"One more thing" Kaiba said. "We have some swords in the back that we might need. We also have some signal flares incase we need help. Which I doubt."
'For once Kaiba might be right' Yugi thought. 'Now that I know how to bring the monsters on my cards to life I can just use my cards to help.' "Um, if it's not to much to ask, can we keep Bakura away from the swords."
"What?" Y. Bakura said sounding perfectly like Bakura. "Why do you want to keep me away from the swords?"
"It's nothing against you Bakura, it's just I'm afraid that if your spirit comes out he might do unpleasant things with that sword."
"I see." 'Just wait till I take control of the Puzzle, you will wish that I had a sword instead' Y. Bakura though Evilly.
"Fine" Kaiba said. "Me and Yugi will take the swords, The dog can take the flares, and the rest of you losers can follow behind us with the exception of the Brit.
"What did you call me?" Joey asked looking like he was about ready to kill Kiaba.
"Just be glad I'm actually letting you hold something. Now if we can please get going."
"Hey how are we gonna sleep? If it gets too dark then we need to have someway to sleep."
"Fine, take the Backpacks and everything else in the back of the Helicopters. Then you two head back to Kaiba Corp. and restock the supplies and then come back and wait for us. Now if we can please get on with it." And with that Kaiba started marching off into the Forest.
Kaiba's P.O.V.
I can't believe that I'm stuck with these losers. All I want is to be the best there is. All I want is to be able to get these orbs without anything stopping me. I don't care if the others need sleep. I will just go on with out them.
Yugi's P.O.V.
This is not starting off good. Kaiba is the only one who is able to get us to the places that we need to go. And he's the one with some of the materials that we need. If we don't start getting along then he might leave us and go off to find them himself. We all need to stick together.
Normal P.O.V.
They all started walking through the forest. They were all kind of testy so they didn't say anything to each other for a long time. They were probably walking for an hour until someone finally talked.
"I'm hungry and I want to eat." Joey said to them.
"Shut up dog."
"You want to run that by me again?"
"Please can we all just get along?" Tea asked.
"Oh why don't you just go jump off a bridge because lets face it, no one likes you. Everyone just puts up with you because we hate to hear a dumb girl cry." Kaiba said.
"I can't believe what I just heard" Tea said rather sadly. Her eyes became watery and first one Tear fell, and then another. She tried to be strong but she was having a hard time succeeding. "That isn't true Kaiba"
"Oh yes it is. If any of these losers actually liked you, don't you think they would ask you out on a date?"
This was too much for Tea, she couldn't hold on to her strength. She broke down and started crying. It was soft crying that made it so you could tell that she was hurt badly.
"YUGIOH" Yugi said transforming into Yami. "Enough of that Kaiba! I can't believe that you would say something so hurtful. That is not true at all and you know it.
"Well guess what Yugi, believe it, I have said it and that's that."
"Tea" Yami said as he walked over to her slowly. "Tea, what Kaiba said was wrong and untrue. We all care very deeply for you. Without you we wouldn't be where we are today."
"Yeah, Yugi's right Tea, don't listen to that idiot." Joey said. "You mean a lot to us. Remember when you dueled Mai for those star chips back at Duelist Kingdom. You were great. The only Reason Kaiba said that is because he's Jealous."
"What?! Me Jealous! That's Preposterous." Kaiba Exclaimed
"Well it's true; if you weren't jealous then you wouldn't have said that."
"Oh really, and just what exactly am I jealous of?"
"You're Jealous of the fact that we have a friend as good as Tea, Where you don't have any. All you have is your brother and your too busy to spend any real time with him. You can call me a dog all you want but it won't hide the fact that you have no friends."
"Why would I even bother myself with 'friends'. I'm perfectly fine on my own and I don't need any one saying other wise. As long as I have Mokuba then I have no need for friends." And with that Kaiba started to walk ahead of them.
"Tea, will you be ok?" Yami asked her.
"Yes, thank you for sticking up for me, you were both very kind."
"Hey don't mention it Tea" Joey said.
"I think that maybe it's the heat." Tea said.
In reality it was pretty hot in the forest. The forest was thickly covered in trees and grass and flowers. It was really nice but the heat just made it a bit to hard to keep cool. It wasn't helping the testiness of everyone.
"Yes maybe it is." Yami said, and with that he transformed back into Yugi. "Come on, we have to hurry if we are going to catch up to Kaiba. And with that Yugi ran off after Kaiba. Joey started to follow but was stopped by Tea's hand.
"I wanted to say thank you." Tea said and with that kissed Joey softly on the cheek.
Joey turned red. He didn't know what to say about the kiss. "Um, uh." He couldn't find any words to describe how he felt. Tea just giggled and went off to follow the others.
"Looks like someone likes you." Tristan said to Joey.
Joey turned to look at him. He wanted to say something but he couldn't he was to lost in his own thoughts.
Joey's P.O.V.
What just happened? I can't believe that just really happened. Here I though I like Mai but, Tea seems really nice too. What am I thinking? Tea's just my friend where as, Where as what? What does that leave Mai as? She's a friend to. But she's more of a, girlfriend? Oh I'm so confused. I don't know what to think. Well I know one thing. I can't just stand here I have to go find them.
Normal P.O.V.
Joey started running to catch up with the group. He came to a fork in the rode. "Oh man this isn't good. Which way do I have to go?" Joey couldn't make up his mind which way to go. So he made his decision easier by guessing. "hmm lets see, Enie meany miny mo, catch a tiger by the toe, if he holla's let em go. Enie meany miny, mo. Well I guess I'm going right. Here it goes.
"Hey you guy's" Yugi started. "Has anyone seen Joey?"
"Why do you worry about that dog. He's no good to anyone. The only things he's good for is to protect his master. Unfortunately he's not a good listener and he doesn't listen to me."
"Kaiba cut it out." Yugi said starting to defend his friend but got cut off when they heard screaming coming from behind them. "what was that?"
"It sounded like the dog and it sounded like he was in trouble."
"We'd better go see what's wrong." Tea said.
"Why? It's only going to delay the task at hand."
"Kaiba, I used to think that every one had some good in them. But your starting to make me feel different." Yugi said.
"Yugi's right!" Bakura said "If you don't start getting a better attitude then we might just go on without you. Come on Yugi, we'd better go see what's wrong." And with that they went to go see what was wrong and left Kaiba to stand there by himself.
"Losers" Kaiba said and then started walking slowly after them not wanting to lose his chance to find the orbs.
While they were running Y. Bakura was thinking to himself. 'I have to act like my stupid Hikari if I'm ever going to pull this off.'
They kept running with Yugi in the lead. Just then Yugi stopped suddenly making Tristan stop suddenly. The rest of the gang wasn't so fortunate. They all ran into Joey and fell down. Tristan looked up to see why Yugi had stopped. What he saw made him freeze in fear. Joey was bending down on his knees, his right arm bloody, and standing in front of him was a huge bear.
"JOEY" Yugi cried out to his friend. The bear turned around and saw the new humans. "Whoops", Yugi said.
"Yugi you idiot." Kaiba said.
The bear turned to go attack them.
"I'm afraid there is only one thing that I can do now. I use my Millennium Puzzle to bring the Dark Magician to the real world. Dark Magician, attack the bear."
The Dark Magician went up to the bear and shot a beam of magic out of it's staff and hit the bear dead on. The bear ran away and left Joey to sit there bleeding. The others ran up to Joey's side and got some of the medical supplies out of the first aid kit. They bandaged up Joey's arm and set off again in the right direction.
As they walked the sun started to go down. It was getting dark and they all were feeling pretty tired after the days events. They all stopped to set up camp. Kaiba was getting pretty mad at them all for wanting to give up so early. He was mad. He wanted to continue, and he had told them this but they fired back with that they were all taking a break and if he didn't like it then he could run the risk of going in the wrong direction.
They all got into their tents and went to sleep for the night. Well almost all. Joey stayed up and was looking out into the forest. He remembered that they had passed a small lake a little while back so he backtracked and went to go sit by the lake.
Joey's P.O.V.
Wow, this is a very pretty lake, the way the moon shines down and makes the water sparkle. I can't get over that kiss. It wasn't a big kiss or anything. I mean it's not like she kissed me on my lips. But still it did feel really nice. But then I have Mai to think about. Me an Mai have been friends for a while now. So it doesn't seem so wrong, where as me and Tea have been friends almost all my life. But, that doesn't seem wrong either. I really like Tea, but I also like Mai. I guess I have a decision to make.
Normal P.O.V.
And with that Joey sat to wonder what he would do.
-----
It was morning when Yugi was woken up by a rather violent shaking. He opened his eyes to see Kaiba standing there looking down at him.
"Let's go." He said. "We couldn't see it before because it was so dark but there's a temple not too far from here and the Brit's ring is practically forcing him toward it. I have a feeling that the first Orb isn't so far away."
"Oh, Ok." Yugi said.
Yugi got out seeing everyone was waiting for him. Joey looked like he had a lot on his mind and Yugi would have liked to ask him what he was thinking about but decided he didn't want to make everyone wait any longer than they already had. Yugi packed everything up and then they were on their way to the temple.
They Reached the Temple in about an Hour. The temple wasn't much for lookd. Time had worn the temple down so that it was barely standing and it was missing a lot of stones. They walked through the old temple carefully making sure that they didn't set off any traps. They didn't think that the temples traps, if there were any, would be active anyway but they weren't going to take the chance. They came up to a tall amount of steps. The ring was fiercely pointing upward at the steps. Y. Bakura finally dropped the act and ran up the steps. "At last" he said.
"Bakura wait" Yugi called after as he went up after Bakura with the rest of them following them.
Y. Bakura reached the top of the steps and looked. On the ground was the red orb. "Finally"
"Bakura wait!" Yugi called.
It was too late, Y. Bakura picked up the Orb. Instantly Red light was formed around him. "I, I, I am absorbing the Spirit of Osiris, into my body. This is amazing. I feel more power than I have ever felt. I feel the power of the God in fused with in me.
"Oh no" Yugi said.
"The world is mine for the taking, HAHAHAHAHA"
Shi: So the Ring lead them, and now they are looking into a forest.
Sdrive: Yep. And now for the Disclaimer
Yami Bakura: Oh come on you foolish mortals. If he owned them would he really be writing it on Fanfiction and would I really have to be doing this. And besides since everyone on Fan fiction doesn't own anything then do you really think he's any different? Get on with the Story.
Sdrive: righty o. Oh yeah. I'm going to call Yami Bakura Y. Bakura from now on. It just allows better writing speed. Enjoy
