Chapter 2. Megan.
"Who the hell are you?" Princess snapped, jealous. The new Mary-sue attacked Princess with a smirk
"I am Megan Shikashi, and I fight for justice and love!" She announced strongly, jabbing a finger in Princess's direction
"…how dare you try and kill that man! I will not have it!" She said. Princess's face expanded in a manner that would make one think she was about to explode
"Kill him!!? He was the one who tried to kill ME!" She protested, sweeping an aggravated arm towards Bakura. Megan lifted her hand high above her head so all eyes focused on the thick golden band encasing her wrist
"Don't lie to me! My millennium bracelet allows me to see the truth and deep into your soul to see if you have a good heart or not! So there's no questioning me!"
Suddenly, Yami interjected
"Megan…that's a plain name for a Mary-sue. I'm surprised you don't call yourself Sunshine or something," he teased. Megan flashed him a dirty look
"Haha, very funny," She shot, before turning back to Princess who was already glaring daggers at Megan. The brunette girl glared at the blonde, the will for murder present in her silver starry eyes
"Well, Miss hero, I hope you're ready to get out! This fic has only room for ONE Mary-sue!!" Princess huffed, infuriated. Megan could feel the deadly heat of Princess's anger, yet the good-hearted femme only returned it with a cool glaze from her aqua orbs
"Come try me then, Princess!" Megan retorted. Princess stepped forward bearing two deadly daggers. Now, don't ask me where the hell they get all these daggers from…I'm only a writer, my job is to keep this story flowing, not to give it any logic. Well…maybe it is…but who cares about logic anymore when you have Mary-sues!!
Anyhow…back in the world of our little story, Princess takes her fighter stance, legs bent and arms held strong, one dagger positioned before her face, the other drawn back behind her
"You'll regret it Megan! I will kill you! I am the best fighter ever born!" she threatened with a voice rich in deadly malice. Megan rolled her beautiful eye in response
"Yeah, like, whatever! You don't know what I am capable of!" She shot back to Princess. Arching a slender hand, Megan took her pose as she laid cool, nonchalant eyes on her opposing enemy. Suddenly, a pink light sparked upon her open palm, spreading its gossamer rays over the earth and Megan as the pretty girl suddenly launched into action. A wall of red and Champaign pink colour shot up behind her, providing a perfect backdrop for the daunting pose Megan had contracted herself into
"DIVINE LIGHT VORTEX!!" She screamed, her body twisting and curving in dramatic shapes only possibly achieved by a high-ranked gymnast…or a Mary-sue. As she spun and curled with her arms dancing around her with mystical grace, a tempest of light arose from the pinkish pool that rippled beneath her, snaking up to envelope her curvaceous form. Finally it dispersed to her hands and, throwing her upper body and arms forward, Megan pushed all the magical energy into a spinning vortex that rolled straight for Princess.
The cappuccino-haired lady made no delay in evading the blast, her strong legs pushing beneath her to shoot her firm body off the ground. Without fail, Princess tumbled in the air as the ground beneath her was torn and shredded by Megan's vortex blast. Bits of rock and tightly compressed dirt showered all within the environs, raining hard upon everyone except for the two untouchable girls. Clouds of dry dust were whisked up, suffusing through the air until it was impossible to breathe freely without the chalky residue tickling your nose.
Soon, the dust cleared, revealing Bakura, Yami and Seto all covered in a thin layer of fine brown power which was undoubtedly dirt, and Megan standing every so perfectly with a hand propped firmly against her hip. Princess, however, was nowhere to be seen.
Megan's crimson lip pulled back to reveal a snarl as her perfectly manicured eyebrows dropped into a determined glare
"Come out you coward! A REAL Mary-sue would've taken the hit!" she taunted. Suddenly, with her sixth sense that extended far beyond the capabilities of a normal person, Megan felt the whizzing of a dagger through air behind her. Flipping around in a movement that was too quick for the eye to catch, she blasted a breath of compressed fire out at the object that her eyes caught in milliseconds. With a brisk explosion, the dagger that had attempted to claim her life instantly shattered into millions of microscopic fragments for it could not pose as a match for Megan's powerful spell.
"A REAL Mary-sue would've taken the hit!" Princess's derisive voice mocked horribly as it echoed throughout the alleyway. As the last traces of her voice bounced away into the silence, the hotheaded girl jumped back into the scene the way Megan had made her entrance. Sneering, one could feel Princess's hatred for Megan flowing off her in waves
"Time to finish you!" She snapped as, without warning, a shower of at least a hundred daggers took off from Princess's hands, diving hard towards Megan. The blonde wasted no time in her defense. Jumping and fixing outturned palms in front of her, Megan sent an arsenal of psionic discs back at Princess's daggers, aiming with such incredible accuracy that each and every single sphere collided with a dagger, eating it up before any of the could reach within a five-meter radius of her body.
The men watched on in awe and fear as the two girls send units of their weapons at each other, creating a war zone where dagger met psi disc. At this point it was clear that they were locked into a stalemate, either side never giving up.
Seto sighed and fiddled absently with the hem of his coat collar. With lanky fingers, he located a small device clipped onto the shirt he wore underneath, warm with his body heat. Gripping it lightly and moving it towards his lips, he began to mumble into it
"Hey Authoress, I think we need your help here or else we're all going to be here until we sprout little white hairs and die," He said casually into the microphone-like device. Almost in an instant Leath appeared before him, reconnoitering the plight with critical eyes. Without long, she was shaking her head to herself
"Tragic…" she muttered, before getting to work. At that exact moment, something incredibly impossible happened –Megan ran out of psi discs to shoot, and Princess (shock horror!) ran out of daggers to throw!

Leath drew forth a sigh and made herself known with a snap of the fingers. Instantly, she held everyone's attention
"Listen everyone," She roared importantly
"Seto's right…we're not going to get anywhere with two Mary-sues at war since both of their authors are just going to keep on thinking up ways to make their character invincible…ladedadeda…so I say instead of making war, you will all make peace!"
Suddenly Leath's mood lightened
"I suggest you guys to book a dinner for all five of you tonight so you can discus your issues with each other or something, that ok?" She said, looking towards the group for an answer. Seeing there were no objections, Leath smiled
"Good! Hopefully, you'll all be able to solve your problems without bashing the crap out of each other,"
With that, she disappeared again to leave the five of them with no choice but to follow her command.
