-_- not a lot of reviews. *pouts*. Would it kill people to read this? Well maybe… but who cares!^_^ heh eheh heh. Sorry, hyper right now.^_^ though can readers please review each chapter? I would really appreciate it.
Special thanks to Dagger5 and my friends that gave time to review. You guys know who you are, right???????????
Also, thanks to others who I do not yet know for reviewing!
To let readers be aware, the little review button is right at the bottom left hand corner.
I'll review next time when I get ten more reviews.
Duel Monsters rules in FFX:
A monster's ATK and DEF points count as the hitpoints or lifepoints of the monster.
So when in either positions decreases to zero, the monster is destroyed. For example, La Ginn (1800/1000) is in attack mode and is hit with damage if 800, meaning its ATK LP is now 1000, if either ATK or DEF points are decreased to zero, the monster dies, okay? The monsters attack strength stays the same though unless increased by a magic or trap card. For example, La Ginn is equipped with Axe of Despair raising its maximum ATK power to 2800, not its LP, but the maximum damage it could do to someone. If a monster is destroyed in ATK mode, the remain damage is deducted from the controller's HP. If destroyed in DEF mode, no damage done to the controller. This puts some balance between aeons and Duel Monsters. Tribute rules like Battle City still applies. Magic and Trap cards can be activated on the controller's turn or corresponding to an enemy or partner. Monsters have their own turn to attack separate from the controller. Last thing, they can't be summon underwater, even the water monsters (the cards will get wet!)

FFX: Duelists' Fate
Chapter 3: Uv Vecrac Yht Cymjykac
By KokoroHikaru
While Yami got to his feet and muttering to himself. "Dammit! I didn't even get to summon!"
Still laughing, the others were interrupted by the Klikk who jumped and tried to attack one of them while they were distracted. The blonde girl from the group of strangers rushed in to help.
Tidus got into a cheery smile. "You're on my side, alright!"
The girl demonstrated her abilities, stealing items like grenades from the Klikk and using them against it. Bakura noticed this and attempted to use a grenade, but only got blown up in the face with lots of smoke hovering about. This got the others cracking up again, and Yami being glad that he wasn't the only one to do a blunder.
In a while, the fiend was defeated. Tidus went over to thank the group that helped them.
One guy also with blonde hair was whispering among his group. "Fryd yna fa kuesk fedr dras?
The blonde girl that helped them in the fight spoke up waving here hands, while they looked in utter confusion. "Drao lyh pa uv ica. Oui caah draen vekrdehk ypemedeac."
"Ymnekrd, ymnekrd."
"Eh, hey!" she gestures at the rest of Tidus' group. They look towards her but she just stands there saying nothing. There was sorta a bad feeling in the air. Suddenly, the one who was speaking to that girl knocked out Tidus and Bakura. The two other guys of that group took out Yami and Malik who were unaware. They slumped to the floor, Tsuki still up tried to do something at least, but she too was knock unconscious in an instant.
***
On a ship in the middle of nowhere in the middle of weird weather is where our little group of duelists and one Blitzball player are currently on, along with the group that knocked them unconscious. Malik woke with the sound of gulls cawing from a distant. Some one was kicking him from the side of his stomach, and it was getting insistently annoying. Apparently it was Tsuki on the deck sleeping, and kicking him while in her dream.
He noticed that two of the four, not including himself, he was with were awake and sitting opposite of the other group. Bakura stood against some kind of machine and was staring coldly at the others. Yami was scanning over his deck, then realizing Malik was awake, walked over to talk. "So Yami, know why were here and not fish bait?"
"No, not exactly, but I guess they are keeping us here for some reason. I'm just not sure what."
"They also speak a weird language, I have no clue what the heck they're saying. You're the King of Games, any idea whatsoever?"
"Don't use that as an excuse. Anyway we should ask Tsuki, she probably knows this game better than the rest of this."
"Speaking about this being a game, how are we getting out here?"
"Either we find what got us here and solve from that, or beat this game like in Kaiba's virtual world. Beat the game, there's an exit."
"Ahem, pharaoh, this game's not Kaiba. What make you think that's gonna happen? For all we know, we beat it and still be stuck!"
"We'll figure sooner or later…. Just be patient. And no more excuses." Yami walks away.
The Egyptian grumbled and made a face. "BE patient, yeah right. I'll do that when Bakura stops going after the Millennium items."
Tidus wakes up, after being kicked by Tsuki too who still in a dream. He rubs his head (after all he was hit over the head unconscious and got kicked by Tsuki there). Seeing other awake and fearing someone else will be injured, Tidus shakes awake the lavender girl, her hair still in a bun after the whole ordeal.
She mumbled and blinked groggy, gold eyes at him. "Did you havta wake me up? I need some sleep. Sooooo tired from fighting. Geez, I need more stamina."
The blonde girl from early approached them with the guy she spoke to from early along with her. The three others stood tall, each with a smirk on their face. Tsuki groaned, could these guys be any more arrogant?
Just then, the guy from behind the blonde girl began to explain something almost in sign language or something. He wave his hand around saying, "Lyh oui cfes? Vv oui lyh, oui lyh cdyo."
They just got more confused, staring blankly at the guy. It was until the girl spoke up. Her voice had optimistic, peppiness tone to it. "He means to say that you can stay if you can swim and help us out."
Bakura stepped forward and sneered. "Or else what?"
The girl only jerked her finger towards the ocean. Oh, that or else kind of reason.
Bakura spoke once again, oppose to the others. "So, what makes you think that we can't take over this vessel, and throw you overboard."
The girl only gave a giggle and snapped her fingers. On that signal, her group revealed a load of guns and pointed at Bakura who still smirked while the others gulped.
"There's this… but eh.."
"If only you know what you're facing, girl." A black haze blew in and darkness begins to engulf them in and orb. One thing: Shadow Realm.
"Bakura! You BAKA!!" Tsuki went up to him.
***
Back in the arcade, everyone has arrive except the Kaiba brothers. While Honda and Otogi were fighting over Shizuka, Kaiba enter with his little brother Mokuba behind him. "Where's Tsuki? And why is there a mutt in here?"
"Kaiba!" Jonouchi jumps up and was attempting to fight with Kaiba, but was held back by his friends.
"It's a worthless effort, but try a leash. Now, where's Tsuki? This better not be one of her lame pranks." The teen CEO spots the broken FFX game machine. "Ha! Tried to make one, but it broke. She's doubtlessly hiding right now."
Jonouchi manages to struggle out of Honda's and Otogi's grasp. Mai scolded at him, but too late. Jonouchi lunged at Kaiba, tripping over something and landed on Kaiba with a crash.
"Jonouchi! YOU MORON!"
Mai screamed. Unexpected, the arcade went, who do you say it, wacko. All doors
closed and metal bars fell down at any openings. Then out of thin air, a letter
fell down:
Who ever this is, wait for the owner of
the arcade to come. This is what you get for being a thief and moron like
someone I know. If you're slow to know, the arcade went into a lockdown, so
wait the while, and next thing you'll know, it jail time for you. ^_^
"Uh, what's going on?" Jonouchi scratches his head.
"It means that we are lock in this dump." Kaiba walks behind the register followed by Mokuba.
"What are you gonna do, big brother?" Mokuba watches his brother sit down and taps on the computer near the register.
The CEO begins tapping away on the comp. "If I'm right, the security system of hers is connected to this, meaning I can hack into it and get us out."
"Wow, smart thinking, Seto."
"Ah, this is the main frame of her security system. Foolish girl, putting it here."
"So how long will it take you to get us out of here?"
"At least half an hour, it would be sooner if it wasn't for that lame excuse of a dog there."
"Don't say that about Jonouchi!" Anzu stands right there with Johji in her arms.
"Don't say that about Kaiba! He's the best! Jonouchi is nothing but a crappy duelist. I can beat him."
Kaiba looks at the baby dressed in the animal suit with an odd look. "It talks… at this age?
***
Bakura sneered while the other group seemed unaware of where they are now. Tsuki now behind Bakura now, smacks him hard upside the head making him release his control of the Shadow magic. "W-what are you doing?"
"Preventing a fight, this is not the time and place for this!" she glares at him.
Malik sniggers at the thief. "You can't even stop her from telling you what to do."
Tsuki slowly turns and glares at him. Her eyes narrowed and parts of her face covered. "Malik…" he turns and looks at her gulping. She grabs him by the ear and says, "Don't piss me of any further. You two are such idiots!"
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, OW! Will you let go?" Tsuki lets go and pushes him overboard. It ends in a loud splash, and with her giggling. Malik manages to get back on the boat.
"We'll do this job of yours, but our friend here.." Tsuki points at Yami. "can't hold his breath long, so he'll stay here."
Yami interferes with an irritated look. "Hey, why am I left out?"
"I said you can't hold your breath long, it's a underwater salvage isn't it?"
The girl nodded. "Yeah, how did you know?"
"So, stay here."
"You aren't the boss of us three."
"Yet you listen to me, hee hee heh. Um, hey!" she waves at the blonde girl. "You're Al Bhed, aren't chou?"
"Yeah, I am. Notice the difference?"
"Sorta, but first I like too introduce us. I'm Tsuki. That's…" she points out everyone and then Tidus who is over at the save sphere again. "Can you give us a moment to prepare."
Tidus turns and looks at them. "Ready to go? You know, you four squabble a lot."
"Hey, what does that mean?" Malik looks at Tidus indignantly.
"Well, here." The blitz player throws them a book. "This teaches a letter in Al Bhed. I think you have to search for the other volumes to know Al Bhed successfully."
While Malik heals the group, Tsuki checked out the volume, then hands it to Yami. The pharaoh only gave her an annoyed look and takes the book. "Why can I go?" almost pouting.
"You can't hold your breath long enough." Tsuki at the same time try to communicate with an Al Bhed, and received three potions.
"How can hold their breath longer then?"
"Can you just stop sulking? It is pretty pathetic for a former ruler of Egypt. Anyway, I asked the others before about it. Bakura can because it was a way he used to escape from danger back then by hiding in the Nile. I don't know how he escaped the crocs though. Malik did this kind of thing to scare his sister after Battle City ended when he was bored. And me, well, it's part of all the strange hobbies I have. And it's useful."
"Well, go then, I'll just wait here after all." He folds his arms and leans beside the rails.
A couple of loud splashes rang out with Tidus yelling out. "Hey, Tsuki! We're ready to go hurry up!"
She waves bye to Yami and jumps into the water. Heading down towards the sunken ruins, what they saw was a dreary sight. A large city of machinery decayed by time and water laid before them. The Al Bhed girl pointed at an entrance into the remains of the city.
From time to time, they encountered piranhas. With Tidus' speed and slashes, the Al Bhed girl's stealing ability, Malik's strikes to finish them off, Tsuki's senbon to kill them in one shot, and Bakura's mugging them, they terminated the fiends pretty fast.
Entering the ruins, they followed through the corridors and later stopped at a dead end where there was some kind of device.
Tsuki examined the scenery, the metal walls were sketched in scratches and mossy sea plants growing through spaces of holes in the bulwark. The eerie, calm, cold water with the slight wispy sound that touch their skin. She caught Bakura's eye and Malik's too, something wasn't right. Even Kaiba's virtual world didn't have this variety of realism to it. Is this truly a virtual reality world, or a real world?
Tidus then banging on the device made it awoke kinda to open a wall leading further in. Slowly proceeding forward, the Al Bhed went forward, checking something.
Following to her, Bakura's shirt was tugged by Malik. The thief turned, seeing the Egyptian eyeing the room they just entered distrustfully. Then, he heard it too, the water was disturbed with rapid movement. And it wasn't them.
Out of dark blue waters, a giant jellyfish-like fiend (Tros [2200]) appeared. It swam round first and set itself front of the party. Tidus struck it first, but it swam to the other side before anyone else could attack it.
They floated there waiting, recovering, only to be rammed by it. Tidus opened his eyes, wincing a bit from the pain. He noticed both girls were knocked out cold. Tidus threw a Phoenix Down at the Al Bhed who blink and now ready kick butt.
Malik looked up, glimpsing at Bakura mug the giant jellyfish in rage because it attack him from behind and stealing an item from it. He turned, staring at Tsuki who hung lifelessly eyes closed. Mimicking what Tidus did, Malik pulled out a Phoenix Down, luckily it was labeled, and tossed out at Tsuki.
Blinking furiously and almost gulping in water, Tsuki thanked Malik who can't really respond because of the giant tentacle that tried to beat him over the head. Tidus slash the Tros causing some major damage. The fiend retreated to the other side again. This time, Tidus called for a pincer move triggered by the fiend's withdrawal. They followed Tros to the other side, surrounding it by all side. Tsuki frustrated and knowing that her physical attacks and senbon will have little damage on the fiend went for healing the group.
After a while, Malik bored of striking it over and over with his Millennium Rod, decided to take a different approach. The monster was already weakening, why not a little fun? Unknown to him was the fiend was charging for an assault.
Nonetheless, Malik swims straight up to Tros and goes right up top its head. Bakura and Tsuki give him a look. What's he up to?
Malik began whacking at the jellyfish's head and kicking at it at different angle. This was starting to irritate the fiend. It's an okay move on Malik's part for where he damages the fiend and can't fail not to provoke it at the same time, but the move differs on particular monsters. The name of this move: Blunder. It's really a blunder, you'll see.
Tros in that case now released its Nautilus Charge attack. This caught Malik by surprised so he ended back at even level with the others. Everyone was seriously hurt, and they all glared at Malik who just shrugs. Bakura gave him a death stare for his awkwardness.
But even with that minor, if you can call it that, setback, they still beated the fiend with Tidus giving it the final slash. They went back to the ship after the Al Bhed girl finished checking out this machine.
Once they were finished with the work, the Al Bhed group proceed towards the compartments. Tidus tagged along, but was pushed back. They were all forced to stay outside. Yami replied 'they aren't that bad, but…this.' And a scoff. Bakura, who's not in the best of mode, let his hikari take over who was actually aware of what had happen, since Bakura was too preoccupied fighting mostly, but partly lost in thought. That was odd, but Ryou made no mention, his yami doesn't really talk about that stuff, plus he's not too happy, meaning it's really dangerous at the moment.
So, they all just sat there. Tidus did notice something odd with his current companions. Did their personalities shift? Nothing's really different with Malik and Tsuki, but Ryou and Yugi seem to have change physically and attitude-wise. Argh, maybe I'm just delusional. I just met them, but just in case, I guess I could keep an eye on it.
A gurgling noise echoed along with the screeching of gulls. Yugi, who switched back, continued whining. "I'm sssssoooooo hungry."
"Yeah, why won't these Al Ked—." Malik perked up.
"It's Al Bhed." Tidus corrects him.
"Whatever, feed us. We helped them." Malik began ogling at the gulls, almost desperate enough to try to eat one. One thing was obvious, he practically drooled over them.
Ryou, seeing this, spoke up. "Doesn't anyone have any food?" he gives the Egyptian boy a nervous glance as Malik stared at a nearby gull on the railing. He really didn't want to see Malik devour a bird. Poor bird.
Luckily, he wouldn't. Tsuki beamed. "Ah! I just remember! I've got chocolate bars!" she rummaged through her bag. Malik turned looking at her hopefully, everyone did as a matter of fact. In an instant, she pulls out three bars of chocolate. "Ta-da!"
"You're my savior! Why didn't you mention earlier?" Malik pounced for a bar.
Tsuki however dodge him, sending Malik to fall to the ground. "I forgot to tell you guys previously. Anyway, we have to split it evenly. So each person gets 3/5's of a bar."
"Alright, alright. C'mon! gimme, gimme, gimme!" the Egyptian jumps up and down impatiently with his hands held out. He got a flick on the nose by Tsuki. "Ow! Stop hurting me!"
"Stop annoying me then." they gave each other a glance. Was that possibly?
Tsuki broke up the pieces of chocolate, and as they were about to chomp down on their piece. The blonde Al Bhed girl approached with a tray of food. "Oh, you have food already?"
Malik jumped up, already having to swallow his piece whole. "What?! A little piece like that is not a meal. We're starving!" in response to that, their stomachs rumbled.
"Geez, here." She puts down the tray, and the boys, practically attacking it, shoveled the food into their mouths choking sometimes.
Tsuki gave them an appalled look. "Did any one teach you manners?"
"Here." The Al Bhed girl gave her a small plate with a spoon. Tsuki also began eating rapidly.
"Thanph. Whew widt wget minroduce rite, ywour nam nis?" She mumbled behind her plate, looking intentively at the other girl.
"I'm Rikku." Her perkyish voice beamed.
After their small conversation, Rikku went to talk to Tidus. They were speaking privately at the rails. Yugi sat again on the ground, sighing. "Do you guys remember anything of how this happened?"
"Nope." Leaning onto a machinery, Malik stared at the dark sky. None of them could remember. Not even Yami who's usually keeping an eye on Yugi and the surroundings. "Hey, Tsuki, what's in that bag of yours anyway?"
"Well, there're extra cards, a brush, cellphone, camera, floss, clips, potions, and other junk."
"Sure lot of stuff."
She thinks awhile about Yugi's question. "Rikku says it's because of Sin's toxic." Tsuki said softly.
"Sin?" Ryou looks up. "What's that?"
"I did take some small peeks in books and stuff about this game. Sin is like the main thing you must destroy in a way in the game. Rikku says that we probably got to close to it and its toxic. Its toxic causes you to forget things, even maybe your identity. Fortunately, that didn't happen to us." She began stroking the Ankh in tension.
"Can a virtual world do something like this? I mean, look at Kaiba's inventions. Even when we were in them, they didn't effect us mentally. And the cuts that some of us got, you never see them in the other virtuals." Yugi said.
"I get what you mean, Yugi, but most importantly is how are we gonna get out of this game, if it is still one." Malik, getting slightly mad, paced back and forth.
"The only way I see is…" Tsuki looked up into the horizon, they froze awaiting her opinion. "…is to journey."
"Do you mean… beat this?" Ryou watch her nod as Malik popped over in front about to argue.
Never did get the chance when he was cut short by an Al Bhed who pointed out at the horizon. "Sin!!"
They turned staring out into the ocean. Ryou gave a petite gasp as everyone froze. What appeared as a enormous wave rose to extreme height. Something beneath was vaguely visibly resembling of a whale? Even vaguer were the strange symbols etched on it. Before another word was said, the wave toppled over, then nothing but darkness.
