Mokuba sighed. It would have been easier to take the KaibaCorp helicopter. He crossed his arms and glanced down at the monster he was seated on. The Toon Blue Eyes' flexed it's wings glanced up at him with pride. Mokuba sighed again. His brother's dragons were way better.
Croquet was not amused. None of this was in his contract. Sitting on Toon Ultimate Great Moths and getting involved with dark magic didn't appeal to him. But then again, Pegasus had managed to get him out after his previous employer had become bankrupt.
Pegasus however was enjoying himself. Sitting on top of the Red Eye's Metal Dragon made him feel important, since dragons were all the rage this season. He had created many more dragons to add to the game since he became involved once again, in the craze. He looked over at his companions and waved jokingly.
"Shall we go and find Seto the Sore Loser," he laughed. "I quite like that. Maybe I'll make a card out of it..."
Mokuba grunted." You're just jealous because my brother is a better player than you, even though you created the game."
Croquet sighed and followed after Pegasus who had taken off in a fuming rage.
"Who are you?" asked Marik apprehensively at the silhouette at the cave entrance.
"That's for me to know, and you to find out," (A/N" cheesy/clicheline I know...) smiled the mysterious figure." I warned you not to betray me..."
The voice sounded familiar to Marik somehow, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Then with a flash, the person was gone in a gust of black smoke.
"That was something we didn't need," muttered Marik. "What's this?"
He picked up a card the stranger had dropped. Release of the Shadows was written with? In the attack and defense box and strange markings where the effects of the card were normally placed. Marik frowned and showed the card to Anubis.
Anubis smiled, showing sharp teeth. "This is one of the few cards created by the true ancient shadow duelist, Tsuka Rada. He was the strongest duelist for his time but that was over 2 million years ago. But his card is mighty powerful."
Marik smiled. Soon, his dream was going to come true. The world would be his...(dun dun duuuun!)
The morning sun could not relieve their hunger or thirst. Most of their supplies were gone. The hot wind blew into their faces and their monsters struggled to stay in the air. Yugi shielded his eyes and looked out at the horizon. A large bubbling creek ran down the side of the mountains and through the forest.
"Joey! Tristan!" he yelled. "Water up ahead!"
"Where? Where?" Joey looked around frantically and almost fainted with joy. "Waatteerrr!"
"Yes, Joey..." Tristan flew closer to Yugi. "Is he OK?"
Yugi smiled and the 3 of them pulled down beside the creek in five minutes. They scooped the water into their mouths and let the coolness rush down.
"O-K! Now I'm ready to do some serious thinking," exclaimed Joey. "Hmmm...Shadow Pyramids...Isn't Egypt the only place with pyramids?"
Yugi wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Hey, you're right! I think we think better when we're not dehydrated!"
Tristan had gone into the forest and returned with a bunch of fruits.
"FOOOD!" shouted Joey, joyfully. He screwed fruit after fruit into his mouth and ended up having trouble digesting. Tristan laughed as Joey's face turned purple and Yugi had to thump him on the back.
Just then, there was a rustling in the bushes. Tristan and Joey grabbed sticks and stood on either sides of Yugi.
Anubis was not pleased. This wasn't going the way he'd planned. Marik had totally changed the original plan. It was supposed to be just a simple matter to get to the shadow pyramids with Kaiba, and then the Pharaoh, while entering the perimeter, would be overcome with the dark power. Thenhe and Marik would seizethecards and item. But so far, it wasn't going according to plan.
First the pharaoh had found them much quicker than expected and they had had to create a distraction, in the process losing valuable time. Now they were a little behind schedule.
Then the possibility that the sniveling idiot on the floor had passed on a message informing the pharaoh of where they were, and finally the mysterious figure that appeared just a moment ago.
Granted, there were some good things. News was brought to them that almost all the millennium items were in their correct places for the final phase of world destruction to begin. The Release of the Shadows card was also unanticipated.
Who said there werent any perks to world domination.
"Anubis! Look!" said Marik pointing to a small group of duelists who were apparently using the new shadow game spell (that makes the monsters real) for their own amusement.
The duelists were a few meters away from the cave; luckily an illusion charm covered the entrance. The crowd was gathered near an oasis. They were yelling and in general, being noisy.
"Fools," sneered Marik as he watched one duelists stumble as a blast hit him, issuing from the opponent's monster. "They don't even know that any damage done will slowly steal some life force to feed our army. Isn't that amusing?"
Anubis and Marik stepped out onto the desert sand to take a look and sealed the entrance of the cave with their dark magic behind them.
Anubis snickered. "Those wimps can't even duel properly."
Unfortunately the wind picked up this comment and it blew it over to the group of duelists.
Unfortunate for the duelists that is.
"What did'cha say, punk?" asked one of the thicker ones.
"I said," repeated Anubis coolly, "That you wimps probably never fought a decent duel in your whole lifetime."
Needless to say, the duelists weren't pleased. They began to advance on Anubis and Marik. Thankfully, Kaiba was still in the cave, so none of the duelists saw him.
"Well if you think you're so hot, lets see you duel! I'm sure a freak albino and a big hairy man won't be much of a challenge boys!" snickered Boro, one of the duelists.
That's it for now faithful reader! (if we have one...)
