Chapter 3: The Betrayal
Kaiba strapped himself into his seat as Mokuba set the GPS to bring them to Pegasus' Island.
"Big brother, do you think we did the right thing? I mean, the airport security will beat the crap out of them." Mokuba said mournfully.
"Don't say that word. It's foul, and…well, never mind. And besides, Yugi is safe and sound flying to Isla Pegasus. What could possibly go wrong?"
(A/N: Always the wrong thing to say when you're confident you have been successful, but in fact have five (yes, I said five) half-crazed high school kids on your tale, who have an astonishing history with dumb luck)
Maximillian Pegasus sat back in his comfy chaise-longue and allowed himself a not-so-rare evil laugh.
"Well, Kaiba-boy, you actually followed through, you great buffoon! Ahahahahahaha!" he chuckled. Robbing people of their souls was his favourite pastime, and he was about to rob enough souls to fill the entirety of Lucifer's shoe closet.
He shaded his eyes against the pounding sun and glimpsed in the distance, a dark object against the clouds nearby.
"So he comes… MUAHAHAHAHA!" The roar of the plane grew louder, and soon flew overhead to land at his landing strip, just atop the cliff. With a contented sigh, Pegasus lay back, adjusting his umbrella to just the right angle where people would wish they were under it.
Yugi was hustled out of the plane, and led out onto a small landing strip on top of what looked like a huge cliff, set against the ocean. A very large manor could be seen below them, some ways down. Yugi scowled. Only one person could live here, want anything to do with him, and actually afford all this secrecy and leniency from the government.
"PEGASUS!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" Yami shouted violently as he took over. Yugi needed some chill time, he was practically shaking with rage (which is disconcerting, because Yugi is always so happy! .). He was told to shut up or face the consequences.
Yami was led down a pathway, and through a lush forest full of chirping mammals. The path led downwards, and soon they came to a clearing. When Yami lookedup, it was clear they had just descended half the cliff. At one end of the clearing was another path, which looked to lead downwards, probably to a beach. The other end was occupied by a weird-looking metal thing, which Yugi figured to be an elevator. Yami shrugged. He just wasn't used to technological advancements past the fridge. Yami was ushered into the elevator, which had glass on three sides. He was crammed in along with five other burly, strong, and intimidating men, who kept complaining when Yami's duel disk poked them in the stomachs. With a 'ding,' the elevator began to move. It went sideways, and forwards, and backwards, and down, and enough times of each to make all of them look a little green. With another 'ding,' the elevator shuddered to a halt, and they all staggered out, to find none other than Maximillian Pegasus standing before them, in a ridiculously large sun hat.
"Hello boys! Welcome to my private gardens! None of you have ever been here before, and probably won't again! Now you four, leave." He pointed lazily to the four guards, who protested feebly at leaving him alone with a freaky looking kid with a pointy bracelet, a pointy puzzle, and pointy hair. Yami smirked. Despite his situation, he was still important enough to Pegasus to converse without being heard…or Pegasus was too damn arrogant to think that anyone would want to harm him in any way…
"So, Yugi-boy, how have you been? How's your grandpa, eh?" Pegasus asked cheerfully. Yami growled.
"How dare you…what is this, why have you done this? WHY AM I HERE? I should be in algebra!"
"Oh, but Yugi-boy, you're skipping algebra! Don't you see? This is all to your benefit! (And we hadn't chatted in a while, and we needed to talk)" he grinned evilly. Excellent… he thought.
"WHAT? Are you saying that you only brought me here to make me skip algebra?!?!" anger bubbling up to an atrocious level
"Oh no, no, no! Good gracious no. But I arranged this whole shindig(I love this word) because you had a substitute teacher in algebra today, by the name of Malik Ishtar. Now, I'm pretty sure you know this man, and would like to steer clear. Shouldn't you be thanking me?" Pegasus batted his eyelashes playfully. He felt like a cat, the type you give to your three year old for Christmas, with a bow around their neck and everything.
"…I am trying very hard not to hit you right now, Pegasus." Yami said, snorting smoke through his nostrils, like a bull.
"Aw, come on! I just saved your life! You see, with my Millennium Eye, which I stole back from the Rare Hunters, I saw your future, and I saw that you would get every problem wrong until Malik would get so frustrated with you, he would send you to the Shadow Realm. Unless that's how you planned your day…" Pegasus feigned indignancy.
"Well, um, you know…" Yami spluttered. What the hell was this all about. If he had been 80, he would have keeled over in cardiac arrest right about now…
"I see." Pegasus smirked. "Well, we're having company in about fifteen minutes, so in the meantime, you can check out my totally outrageous pool!" happy chibi-ness
Yami was led in a daze down the path.
I really have no idea where this story is going… help.
You like it? I hope you do, even though the entirety of the whole shebang has been random.
Love y'all! –jools--
