Chapter 9

"Whew! What a class!"

"You said it Nats! I'm fried!" Lara slammed her locker closed and leaned against it

"It's a pity the classroom fans don't work. If they did, well, we wouldn't be so hot. But as it is…" Zara said to Rachelle.

"Mmm… I know, this school is so….. they can't even fix the fans!"

"Break time is stereo time! Let's go get it, Chelsea!" La Fraz said eagerly, and she and her curly-haired friend ran out of the classroom. Two minutes later, they were back – stereo-less.

"The Grade Tens have it!" complained Chelsea.

"Yeah, they say that we have to come to their classroom if we want to listen to it!" added La Fraz.

Zara looked at Rachelle.

Rachelle looked at Zara.

"Perfect!" said Zara.

"Race you!" cried Rachelle, and the two of them sped from the classroom.

"They're lucky! They're friends with the grade tens!" Chelsea pouted. "It doesn't inconvenience them to go there!"

"Ah, well. Hey, Lara, I brought a CD. You know, the one you wanted to listen to! Let's go ask the grade tens if we can play it!" said La Fraz excitedly, and she and Lara left the class. There was an odd silence. Natali began to sing.

"The sun'll come out – " she waved her hands.

"Tomorrow!" she pointed over her shoulder with both thumbs.

"Bet your bottom dollar – " she touched her butt (her but what? Ok, ok, I know! Lame joke!) and held out her hand as though it had something in it..

"That tomorrow – " she jerked her thumbs over her shoulder again.

"There'll be sun!" she waved her hands as before. Chelsea was in stitches! Natali bowed.

"Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you very much!" she said in an Elvis Presley voice. Chelsea fell off her chair she was laughing so hard. Natali giggled at the sight of her friend literally rolling on the floor.

--oo00oo—

"Go! Staryu!" cried Misty. The star-shaped Pokemon erupted from its Pokeball in a flash of light.

"The other girls stepped back in fright.

"What – what is it?" asked Tea.

"It's my Staryu," said Misty proudly. "Staru, watergun at that wall!" The Pokemon obliged.

"Wow!" said Mai. The others nodded in agreement.

"Thanks, Staryu! Return!" the Pokemon went back into its ball. "Go – " Misty was about to throw another Pokeball when one opened inside her bag. A small yellow duck appeared, holding its head. "Psy?"

"Psyduck! Get back in your Pokeball!" shouted Misty.

"Psyduck? What a cute name! For a cute Pokemon!" gushed Tea. Misty sweat-dropped.

"Cute?"

"Yeah, totally adorable!" said Mai, oblivious.

"I agree…. Come here, Psyduck… c'mon, don't be shy…" Tea wheedled. Psyduck looked from her to Misty, and back, repeatedly. "Psy-ay-ay-ay-ay!" it said in confusion.

"Back into your Pokeball, Psyduck!" commanded Misty, irritated.

"Aww, Misty, let him stay, he's so cute!" said Tea. She patted Psyduck on the head.

"Psy?" asked the Pokemon, clutching his head.

"Aww, cute!" said Serenity and Tea. Misty rolled her eyes and gave up.

"Go, Pollywhirl!"

"Polly!"

"Pollywhirl, let's go – water gun attack!" The Pokemon let rip, drenching Psyduck, and the unfortunate Tea.

"Hey!" cried Tea. Psyduck fell over.

"Oh, Psyduck, are you okay?" asked Tea.

"Psyduck, return!" Misty called, and the dripping Pokemon returned to his ball in a flash of light.

"Where'd he go?" asked Serenity.

"Back into his Pokeball. Ugh, that Pokemon is so irritating when he feels like it!"

"Irritating? Psyduck? You've gotta be kidding me!" said Mai. Misty shook her head.

"Nope – not kidding. Can't battle to save his life, that one!"

"Oh. Well, he's still a cutie!" said Mai.

"Whatever you say, Mai. Pollywhirl, come here!" the Pokemon had drifted inquisitively towards the road.

"Polly?" it said, turning around guiltily.

"Yeah you. C'mon, and then you can show these girls your watergun."

"Polly." The Pokemon gave up and walked towards Misty.

"Alright Pollywhirl!" Misty bent down and patted her Pokemon on the head. "Let's go!" Pollywhirl let rip with a spectacular watergun against the wall.

"Wow!"

"Woah!"

"Can I please get dry?" That was Tea. (in case you hadn't realized)

"Sure, let's go back to Kaiba's. We can shop later," Mai said.

"Okay! Return, Pollywhirl!"

The four girls set off.

"Master Seiya, Master Shiryu – this is your room. Master Hyoga, Master Shun – this one next to it is yours." The maid turned and walked away down the passage. The spies and Knights stood awkwardly in the corridor.

"Um, well… see you in the morning!" Sam said and she, Alex and Clover disappeared into their assigned rooms. Mandy yawned and followed. Seiya, Shun, Shiryu and Hyoga looked at each other.

"Well, it sure has been an eventful day!" said Shun, leaning against the wall.

"We should, I dunno, make a plan of action," said Seiya.

"Nah, I'm too tired," Hyoga said with a yawn.

"He's right, kid. Let's turn in," said Shun, also yawning.

"Alright. We'll plan tomorrow." The four boys stepped into their respective rooms.

"AAAAAAAHHHH!" came Clover's voice. Everyone rushed to her room.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" screamed Sam.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" agreed Alex.

"What is going on in here?" asked Shun as he burst into the room. Mandy jumped into his arms.

"G-g-ghosts!" she said in a scared whisper.

"Ghosts?" asked Shiryu, coming into the room. Mandy pointed shakily towards Clover Alex and Sam's room. The Knights slowly opened the door. A wormhole was open inside the room, and a sun-tanned couple was arguing.

"That was so stupid!"

"Do not complain, little brother, it is meant to be!"

"Shut up Ishizu. This is so – Hey! What're you looking at?" the young man asked staring angrily at the Knights.

"They are looking at you, brother."

"Shut UP!"

"Uhh… Where're Clover, Sam and Alex?" asked Shun, looking around.

"Not telling." The young man smiled evilly.

"Marik! What did you do to them?" asked Ishizu in horror. Marik smiled even more evilly. Ishizu ran from the room. Marik began to laugh. The Knights looked at each other in confusion. Ishizu came back into the room, her face like a thundercloud.

"Brother, you will pay for that!" she exclaimed. Clover, Alex and Sam entered the room, walking unsteadily.

Clover took one look at Marik and screamed. "It's him!"

"Him who?" asked Sam in confusion.

"He summoned that… that thing!"

Sam's face paled. "H-he did that?" she stammered.

Ishizu, who had been standing very still, whacked her brother over the head. "I cannot believe you did that!"

"What?" asked Seiya. The rest of the Knights nodded.

"Yeah, what?" asked Shun.

"He summoned a monster! Aya! What did I do, Ra, to deserve this?"

"A monster?" asked Seiya. Ishizu covered her eyes.

"I know what you're going to do, brother, so just get it over with!"

Marik scowled at her and drew his arm out from within his cloak, revealing his DuelDisk system. He pulled his deck out of a hidden pocket and inserted it into the slot. He drew a card.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen… I summon… Idia, the Necromancer's Guardian!"

A giant wolf with glinting red eyes and a magician's rod not unlike Dark Magician's across his back, appeared in front of the Knights.

"Woah!" cried Seiya. Idia roared.

Marik laughed at the frightened faces of the spies. "I should've done this years ago! Idia, Necromancer's Guardian, show them your stuff!"

The beast roared again and began to grow larger, until its' head touched the ceiling.

Ishizu removed her hand from her eyes and asked Marik angrily, "Why did you do this?"

"Because I could." Marik shrugged. "Controlling a stick would've been harder than controlling that stupid scientist!"

"What scientist?" asked Shun.

"Why, Mansfield Gramms, Kaiba Corp.'s best scientist – second only to Kaiba himself!" He began to laugh again. "What a moron – how did he get his job? It was a simple matter to get him to make the necessary adjustments on my DuelDisk."

"And now, it can project holograms of monsters outside of duels!" finished Ishizu.

"S-s-so this is just a hologram?" asked Sam.

"It's a glitch!" said Marik. "Deal with it."

Sam, Alex and Clover looked at each other.

They looked at Marik.

"Let's get him!" they cried and ran at Marik. The image of Idia exploded, distracting them. Marik ran from the room.

"Do not follow him. He will get what he deserves later," said Ishizu calmly.

"I sure hope so!" said Sam angrily.

"So, uh," Seiya began, swinging his arms uncomfortably.

"Ishizu," Ishizu filled in.

"Right… where are you from?"

"Like, you're obviously not from here," added Clover.

"I cannot reveal that to you, for I foresee that you are destined to find out very soon."

"Foresee?" asked Alex skeptically.

"With my Millennium Necklace. It allows me too see the past or the future." Ishizu indicated the Item hanging from her neck.

"Right."

There was a cry of irritation from the other room. Everyone rushed through the door. There stood Jerry, immaculate as ever, holding a palmtop.

"Ahh, Jerr… What happened?" asked Clover.

"Nothing. Unless you count a man running through my room five minutes ago."

"Uhuh. Right. Whatever you just said."

The spies and Knights sped out of the room, onto the wide balcony. There stood Marik, muttering curses under his breath.

"What is it, brother?" asked Ishizu.

"Go away!" growled Marik.

"You guys!" came the whiney voice of Mandy. "Come here!"

"What?" asked Sam irritably as she stalked back into Jerry's room.

Mandy giggled and latched herself once again to Hyoga's arm as he came through the door. "Nothing!"

Sam rolled her eyes. "What an attention-seeker!"

"What did you call me!" screeched Mandy.

"Uhh… Guys…. Sooo not the time…" said Clover, staring over their heads.

Sam and Mandy whipped around to see Ishizu calmly allow herself to be sucked into another wormhole!

The other Knights pushed their way into the room, lead by Marik, who was smiling evilly. He opened his mouth to speak, but the entire company was sucked into the shining wormhole.
