Shadow duel
"That should do it..." Sanami said smiling. Mimiki looked at the bracelet with confusion. "What's this for? To make my upper fin look better?" Sanami sighed. "No! It's a floatation bracelet. You can get around places now. That should do for now. I have to make another potion to return you back to normal. Don't break that bracelet. If you do, you be immobile." "Ok. Thanks Sanami. I feel better now." she said. "No problem." "I'm sleepy so I'm going to go to bed now. Goodnight." Mimiki said. "Me too. Goodnight Mimiki." Then the two fell into a deep slumber.
"Are you ready to lose this duel?" Yami Marik asked. "Are you ready to be banished to the shadow realm?" Marik asked back. "Whatever. Let's start this duel. Oh yes...I forgot to mention one more thing...you'll get a couple of surprises in this duel..." Yami Marik said. "What are those surprises?" Marik asked. "You'll find out soon enough..."
15 minutes later...
In the shadow duel, Yami Marik was winning with 2000 life points while Bakura and Marik had 1200. "Can't you both see that you're going to lose this duel? You've lost more than half of your life points!" "Shut up! We're not going to lose!" Bakura said. "Do you remember the surprise I told you about? It's coming very soon...and this surprise is for you Marik!"
Marik's POV
I wonder what this surprise is...I hope it isn't bad, but knowing my dark side it has to be. I'll just have to prepare for the worst...
My dark side held his hand up and some black orb was floating above him.
"Ready for your surprise?!? I hope you are because you'll never see it ever again! Reveal yourself mystery surprise!!"
My eyes widened with horror. "MIMI?!?!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!? SHE'S NOT A HUMAN ANYMORE!!!" I yelled out.
"Yes, yes...she's a mermaid now because of me...I told you that you'd get a surprise in this duel! Now to make this surprise to me Mimiki!"
I watched as she floated to my evil side. He grabbed her chin gently and made her look at him. I could tell that she was under his spell.
"Watch Marik...this will be the last time you ever see her again...and you certainly won't be able to do this with her anymore!"
I saw his face come closer to hers and I also saw a tear fall from her right eye. I grew angry and shocked. He was kissing her. I could see that Mimiki had very little control over her body. She tried her best to break free, but she couldn't.
"You monster! No one kisses her but me! Leave her out of this! Mimiki doesn't love you!"
He scowled. "I wouldn't say that if I were you! Let's end this duel! I play monster reborn to bring back my Winged Dragon! Then I'll use its special ability of instant attack!"
"He's a dumbass! The monster doesn't have any attack points!" the spirit of the ring said. "Then I'll transfer most of my life points to Ra!" "I take that back now." He said. Go figure. Now he merged with Ra. He only had one life point left. I looked up and Mimiki was with him. At least she was safe. But I still didn't like the idea of her being up there with him!! Now we have to prepare for the worst.
POV: Mimiki
I must be in his control again...I have little control over my body. I need to get out of here!
"Now prepare to be engulfed by the shadows!"
Who is he talking to? I turn to the playing field. My eyes widened.
"BAKURA!! MARIK!! GET OUT OF THERE! HE'LL KILL YOU!"
POV: Yami Marik
What?!? She broke my spell?!? She's strong even without her millennium item! Next time she won't be so lucky!
"Now my winged dragon, attack their life points directly and send them to the shadow realm!"
My dragon destroyed them both! Now they won't be in my way anymore! I watch as Mimiki starts to get glassy eyed.
"How could you?!? You destroyed them both! You monster! You don't have a heart! You're more cold-hearted than Seto Kaiba!"
"I have a heart for you my dear..." I say as walk closer to her. She tries to back away from me. She ends up falling off of Ra's head and he caught her in his hand and sat her on the ground. Ra disappeared and now I was on ground level. "Now why don't you just stay put..." I paralyzed her. I can see fear in her eyes...and I love that expression on her face. "Now look into my eyes..." 'What is he doing to me? Ah!' She fell to the ground holding her head in pain. Good, it's working.
"Marik! What have you done?!?" Oh great. It's the pharaoh. "Nothing pharaoh." "Where's Bakura?!?" "If you know the rules of a shadow game and what happens to the loser, you should know where he is!" The pharaoh scowled. Then I proceeded downstairs.
Yami/Yugi's POV
"Yugi? What are you doing here?" "Mimiki what happened to you?" "Marik's dark side turned me into a mermaid and now my head hurts...a lot." She explained.
/Yami, maybe we should find out more about what happened here from Mimiki./
Good idea Yugi!
"I'll help you to your room." "Thanks Yami."
End of POV
"Mimiki what happened up there?" "Well...I woke up in the middle of the duel and I was on the Winged dragon's head along with Marik's dark side. He was controlling me. I saw him send Bakura and Marik to the shadow realm. I was still on the dragon's head when he came towards me. I fell of its head and it caught me in its hand and gently put me on the ground. The Winged dragon is no hologram. Then he disappeared and then Marik's dark side paralyzed me. He did something that made my head hurt."
"Stay away from him. Keep your millennium item with you at all costs." "But Yugi...I want to save Marik by myself. Everyone that's come in contact with him has become a victim to him. I don't want anyone else to get hurt." She said. "Mimiki don't forget that he has a grudge against me. We're in this together and nothing will stop us." Mimiki smiled. "Thanks Yami." "We need to get some sleep for the finals tomorrow. Goodnight." "Goodnight." Then Yami left.
Mimiki got beneath the covers of the bed and closed her eyes.
Then there was a knock on the door. "Don't come in. I don't want to see you. You've caused enough trouble. Go away." "My dark side caused a lot of trouble huh?" a voice asked. "Marik?" "Can I come in?" "Yes..." The door opened and Tea was there. "You're not Marik..." "Yes I am." Then a spirit emerged from Tea. "Marik...I thought that your yami sent you and Bakura to the shadow realm..." "He tried. A part of my spirit lies within Tea. Ishizu and I hid Odeon in a different room so my dark side can't find him. Now tell me what did he do to you?"
Mimiki explained what happened. Marik gritted his teeth with anger. "Damn him! He'll pay for what he did to you!" "No Marik. First we have to find a way for you to get your body back. I can deal with him myself." "No Mimiki! Not after what he did to you! You can't walk!" he said. "I can't walk, but I can float with the floatation bracelet Sanami made. I'll be okay Marik. Don't worry about me." "Mimiki! What if he succeeds in killing you?!? I wouldn't be able to live without you if you weren't here with me! I almost lost you once with that heatstroke and I'm not losing you to him! I want you to use your millennium item for protection and keep Sanami with you at all times. Promise?" he asked. "I promise." Marik smiled. "Now get some rest for the finals tomorrow." "Ok." He gently hugged her and gave her a kiss. He then disappeared and Tea left while Mimiki went to sleep.
