It's Australia Day! (waves little Aussie flags around) so I thought I'd be nice and post the second chapter of Elemental Mages. I hope you enjoy! Please, read and review!

Jonouchi looked around Yami's room. His room was almost entirely black, with splashes of crimson here and there. His black bookcase was filled with books concerning Shadow powers and Dark magic. Jonouchi shuddered; dabbling in any form of Dark or Shadow magic was risky business.
"Are you sure you can handle this? You said so your self that dimension travelling takes a lot of magical energy."
"I know, Jonouchi, but trust me on this. Besides, if I get stuck you'll help me right? Dimension travelling buddy of mine," Yami said as he made a circle with his crimson magic.
"The only reason I can dimension travel so easily is because I hardly ever get to use my magic at all. I've got a flipping excess of magic that even mages who have meditated for days would be jealous of. Damned peace treaties."
"Oh, right. Battle mage. Sucks to be you at times like these. Then again, I'd rather my best friend being over filled with magic than being continuously drained of it because of some silly war that Seto has ordered you to fight in. Though, I doubt that he'd send you to actually fight, he'd probably fight you in a room himself."
"Oi! Just because he and I don't get along…"
"Get along? It's more like despise each other with every fibre of your beings."
"Yeah, well, I'll blame our magic types on that," Jonouchi said, crossing his arms, thinking the topic of King Seto was finished with.
Yami slapped his friend on the back. "I hate to tell you this, but, you two have got to be the only Ice and Battle mages I know of who fight like you do. You warriors tend to fight with the peace keepers, not Ice mages."
"Shut up and transport yourself before I decide to use my magic for something else other than dimension travelling," Jonouchi growled.
Yami's hands glowed crimson with black highlights and the circle of crimson flames grew in height.
"Now, when you get to the Interchange, look for the little glowing door with the number dimension your after written above it," Jonouchi explained. Yami sweat dropped.
"That's how you pick your dimension? I thought it would be more…I dunno, more…"
"Spacey?"
"I suppose. I thought it would be all random and you had to guess which dimension you were travelling to."
"Ah well, obviously the Gods decided to make it easier for us dimension travellers. Now, into the portal with you!" Jonouchi shoved him into the gateway that Yami had opened, missing Yami wince slightly at the mentioning of 'Gods'.
"Oh, by the way," Yami said, poking his out of the slowly shrinking portal, "Seto's in the ice garden, in case you're wondering."
"Wha? Hang on…ice garden?" Jonouchi asked as Yami disappeared again.
"Yeah, he started it a few days ago and now it's like a jungle out there. The Earth element must be tipsy for his garden to grow that fast."
"And you told me this why?"
"Because I know you looooove him," came Yami's voice with a chuckle.
"That's it!" Jonouchi fumed as be began to glow a golden colour and sent two blasts Yami's way.
"Missed me!" Came the reply with a laugh as the portal closed.
"Stupid Yami, thinking that I…hmm, ice garden…could be interesting…I mean, I hate the stupid guy! Stupid Seto…I mean King Seto… damn you Yami," Jonouchi grumbled as he went in search of another Ice mage who could tell him where the ice garden was.
(The Search for the Gods Begins)
Yami appeared at the Interchange in a ball of crimson and black light. Blinking, he looked at his surroundings. There were hundreds of doors each leading to a different dimension. Glowing portals littered the vast space, each having its own little number above the glowing entry along with a sort of Seeing Mirror that allowed you to see if it was the particular dimension you were after. Looking at the ground he was standing on, Yami was semi-surprised to see that he was floating; either that or the floor was clear and all he could see was endless darkness, speckled with little lights similar to stars. Floating/walking over to the portal with the number forty-five above it he took a deep breath andlooked at the door warily.
"This is it," he said to himself, "the dimension where robotics and technology have taken over the human race."
Taking another deepbreath to steady his nerves, he stepped through the portal and was sucked into the dimension.
That wasn't too much of an evil ending was it? Sorry if it was, I'll try to post the next chapter soon! Ja ne!
