Bakkus and Talia neared the edge of town. The place was swarming with people in cloaks, with no seen explanation for it all. And off in the distance, was their prince, the princess, and their fellow servant being held by more people in cloaks!
"Talia! Do you see that?" Bakkus asked.
"Oh my gosh! Jonan!" Talia gasped. "And Theodore! And the princess! We need to help them, Bakkus!"
"What can we do? We're just servants!" Bakkus protested.
"Well, there's got to be something!" Talia cried desperately. She looked around. "Um…there!" She pointed to a couple people dueling in the streets. She'd spotted the very real-looking holograms. "We can use those creatures to scare them off!"
"I'm not going near those!" Bakkus snapped at her. He didn't have much choice. Talia dragged him off, totally ignoring his protests.
"Excuse me!" she called to the duelists. "May we borrow those creatures?" The duelists looked at her like she was nuts, which, in all honesty, she kind of was.
"We're in the middle of a duel, lady!" one guy said to her.
"See?" Bakkus said as though he knew exactly what they were talking about. "They're in the middle of a duel; let's not disturb them, okay, honey?" He tried to walk off, but Talia pulled him back.
"How do you control them?" Talia asked; but she stopped. One man placed a card on the duel disk and it instantly appeared on the street. Talia didn't hesitate to snatch up a duel disk and run off, the guy shouting after her. She ran with Bakkus back to where the prince was. "Can you help me figure this out?" she asked Bakkus. He looked at it.
"I think…you just put this thing here…" he began, placing a Black Forest Dragon card on one of the duel disk spaces, "…and it shows up! Yes!" The monster immediately appeared in front of the cloaked men. Startled, they let go of their captives, who made a break for it.
"This way!" Talia called, directing the three down another street. They left Machete fuming in the street, along with the duel disk. Once they were far enough away, they stopped to catch their breath.
"Bakkus! Talia!" Theodore cried. "I'm so glad to see you!"
"How did you do that?" Serena asked.
"People can somehow control monsters with a strange device in this world," Talia explained. "Oh, and it's good to see you well, princess."
"Well, you saved our lives," Jonan said. "You shall both be rewarded when we return to my kingdom. Oh, and…" he looked pointedly at Bakkus, "…your little attempted robbery shall be overlooked."
Bakkus turned bright red and Talia whacked him upside the head. The white-haired servant bowed. "I thank you, my prince."
"Well, now we just need to figure out what to do," Serena said, obviously in concentration. "I say we find this 'Yugi.'"
"Yugi?" Talia asked.
"Yugi is apparently a powerful person," Jonan explained. "Perhaps he can help us return to my kingdom."
"But where do we find him?" inquired Bakkus. "We don't even know where to start!"
"Point duly noted, Bakkus," Jonan said thoughtfully.
"Some of those men in cloaks were to find him, weren't they?" Theodore said. "Perhaps if we follow some of them…"
"They're all over the place," Talia interrupted, shaking her head. "It wouldn't do us any good."
"I think I can help you." Everyone turned to the voice. It was Kabat, standing there was a smug look on his face. Behind him was a very meek boy.
"Kabat," Jonan said. "What do you know?" Kabata came over to the group, the little boy following closely at his heels.
"I've been following Machete and his new servants for some time now," replied the wealthy and very smug man. "I know where they've been; I can help you find this Yugi person."
"And why would you want to assist me, Kabat?" Jonan asked. "What's your obligation?"
"I want out of this place," Kabat answered bluntly. Jonan sighed.
"Fair enough," he said. "Lead the way."
They headed down the street, going for Yugi's house. They would be waging their own war soon…and back in their home…another war was about to begin…
Well…it was better than the last, but still pretty bad. But I updated! Aren't you happy? Well…um..please review…
