A Tale of Two Idiots

Chapter 28:

"H-Heidi…!"

Gasping and sweating, Mokuba sat up in a white bed. He blinked twice, wiping the moisture from his brow with his shirt sleeve. He looked to his left, then right; he appeared to be in an infirmary of sorts, a rather cozy one with only two beds (the other having no one in it) and a potted palm in the corner by a dim floor lamp that was currently lighting the small room.

"Um…" Mokuba threw the sheets off himself and gently climbed down the bedcovers until his bare foot touched the linoleum. He gasped at the cold feeling and slipped on two bunny slippers that were at his bedside. Finally onto the floor and, since he felt rather woozy, halfway holding onto the headboard of the bed, he looked up towards the door and a man walked in, sunglasses masking his surprise to see the young boy up and about.

"Croquet…!" Mokuba blinked as he ambled over to the end of the bed, tightly grasping the sheets, "Croquet, if you're here, then… I-I'm at Pegasus' place! We made it! … Ah, wait! The others did get here, right?"

"If you're referring to the Bakuras and those Egyptians, then yes." He nodded.

"Alright!" He smiled happily, "So… how long have I been asleep? Not long, right?"

"About six hours," Croquet answered, "Your friends are with Mr. Pegasus in the hangar and are about to depart for Domino City."

Mokuba's eyes bugged out as he went flopping forward and flapping his arms around, trying to keep balance, "HUH? Jeez, already? W-Well, tell them to wait up! C'mon, Croquet or we won't make it in time!"

"B-But, you may not yet be well enough to-"

"Walkie now, talkie later, Croquet!" He squealed, fumbling forward and soon opening the door and tumbling out of the room. Croquet rolled his eyes and followed him, walking with dignity and mumbling about all the idiocy that his job involved.

"Don't trip, that floor is wet…" He called, unenthusiastically.

Mokuba didn't hear him and fell flat on his tiny face.

On the opposite side of the castle, right outside the back balcony there was a small hangar with all of Pegasus' favorite, private jets. Only one of them were fit for more than two people and since there were two factories that produced Monkey Love, they thought it'd make more sense to just split up into teams and take two of the small jets.

Looking at them in a row now, Marik, Malik, Ryou and Bakura were stroking their chins wondering which ones to take. Pegasus was standing behind the teens, an amused smile on his face while they fought amongst themselves.

"I'm telling you, Marik, I want the purple one!" He stomped his foot at his other half who looked down at him.

"You honestly think I care, don't you?"

"Oh, 'Kura, I want pink!" Ryou cried out, tugging on the sleeve of his yami's shirt, "The pink one is so cute and you'd look uber adorable in it!"

"Sure… I don't care…" Bakura grumbled, looking the other way at something he had tucked behind his back. Ryou didn't notice, or choose not to care and cheered in victory.

Malik pouted at Marik, "See! Ryou gets his way! All the time! Why can't you just do what I want to do? Let's just use the purple, 'kay?"

Marik adopted a smug appearance and turned the other way, seemingly ignoring his younger half, "The day I ride around in a purple jet is the day my foot goes sailing over the moon. We're taking the black one and that is that."

Before Malik could say another word, Marik cut him off by turning to Pegasus and pointed behind himself to the black and pink jets, "Alright, Pegasus, we'll just take those two."

"Fabulous!" He exclaimed, frolicking over to their little group. As soon as he stood in front of them, he sighed and wiped a glistening tear from the corner of his right eye, "Well… It seems like it's been such a short time with you four, and I know you must carry on in that dangerous world of monkey sex… But I just wish it didn't go by so quickly! I will miss every last one of you!"

Pegasus wailed his sorrows and threw his arms around all four of the boys who then were squeezed in a bone-crushing hug, tears from the older man wetting their bodies. Ryou actually ended up crying, too, and Bakura's eyes were stoically blank, still looking at whatever he had behind his back. Marik was trying to get away and Malik was trying to keep some roaming hands from his hindquarters.

Taking a step back now, Pegasus rubbed his eyes with a frilly hanky from his pocket and mumbled, "Damn, I promised myself I wouldn't do this…"

Malik whispered to his friend, "He's gotta be on something…"

"Uh-huh."

"Well…" He sniffed after he had balled for a minute or two, "The… the jets' computer maps have been programmed to go to one of the factories. The black one will go to Factory Alpha in Northern Domino and the pink will go to Factory Beta in Southern Domino. The mainframe computers have to be turned off at the same time in order for anything to happen, okay?"

"Where are they?" Malik asked.

"I…! Have no idea." Pegasus finished lamely, causing everyone, but Bakura, to sweatdrop. Pegasus finished, scratching his head, "It's got to be somewhere in the factory, just look for it, you're smart boys!"

Marik grinned.

"Well, thanks for everything, Pegasus." Ryou thanked him, smiling his adorable chibi smile, "I suppose we'd better be on our way, then!"

"One last thing," He nodded to them as they began to turn, "So you'll be able to time everything, there are headsets on the control panel that act as walkie-talkies, so use them."

"Okay, we'll do that-"

Before another word was uttered, the door to the balcony busted opened and out stumbled a young ball of black fur, making his way to the others, followed by the Chief of Security.

"WAIT!" He cried out, finally making it to them and falling to his knees, grasping Marik's pants and looked up, "What were you four thinking? If I hadn't of woken up, you were going to leave me behind, you know!"

"Oh, Mokuba, you're okay!" Ryou and Malik smiled, "We're so happy!"

"Yeah… Um, Mokuba, listen…" Marik rubbed the back of his head, "We're going alone, from this point on it'll be too dangerous for you and you… well, you'd get in the way."

"Marik!" Malik scolded him as Mokuba's eyes began to water, "What the hell did you say that for! He's a kid!"

"My point, exactly! He's a kid and what we're doing is grown-up stuff!"

"Oh, and since when did you grow up, Marik?"

As the arguing went back and forth, Ryou rolled his eyes and bent down, patting the little boy on the head, soothingly, "Mokuba… It's not that you'd get in the way… It's just that this kind of thing is dangerous and what would your brother say if he knew we were bringing you into a dangerous situation?"

"I-I won't tell… I-If you… d-don't…!" He sniffed in between sobs, "I-I wanna save Heidi, too! I-It's not fair, you get to go…! I-I won't get in the way, I swear…!"

"Now, now," Pegasus gently, yet forcefully, dragged Mokuba away from Ryou's soft touch and whispered in his ear, "Mokuba, they're going off to do big boy things! You can stay here with me and we can play games…!"

Mokuba's eyes widened, "… TAKE ME WITH YOU!" He cried out to Marik, who was now done fighting with his hikari.

"Thanks for babysitting, Pegsy." Marik said, smiling devilishly.

"BUT-"

Pegasus pressed a button on a portable control panel in his pocket. A rounded space that each boy was standing on dislocated from the ground and smoke appeared in stacks from the sides, the panels going down and the boys disappearing in the smoke. Just before the panels were put back in place, Pegasus called out to the fourth one, "Oh, and Bakura-boy, please enjoy that Bad Kitty Calendar I gave you! It's a collector's item!"

An oddly happy voice called back, "Oh, yeah!"

"Bakura!" Marik called over, angrily.

Inside the planes, figures popped up, surrounded by smoke and the engines automatically started, lifting the small planes up and launching them straight into the sky, a faint trail of gray exhaust following. Inside the black jet, Marik was up front, cracking his knuckles and looking over the control panel, devilishly. A headset dropped down from the ceiling and he put it on.

"Alright, Malik, get ready because we're about to kick some monkey butt!" He exclaimed, receiving this as his answer:

"… Ohuh…?"

Marik blinked and craned his neck to look into the small back seat, seeing a smallish British boy, fanning away the left over smoke. "R-Ryou?"

"Yes, Marik?... Marik?"

At the Pharaoh's Palace in Domino, it had been about an hour and a half since the reading of the spell in Yami and Yugi's bedroom. And Yugi thought it went quite well, the results of all his internet hunting was fruitful and the end of the process resulted into something that he'd only dreamed of. Yami, however, was a little less enthusiastic about the whole thing as their bedroom, along with the rest of that floor and the kitchen, had been destroyed.

After Flyswatter was put in a containing cell down stairs, way, way downstairs, Yami and Yugi went into the throne room to think a bit. To execute phase two of this plot, they had to know exactly where 'those fools' were. And so, to do this, they decided to use their newfound thinking powers to aid them.

"Yes…" Yami was leaning by the windowsill, tapping his chin, "Thinking like Marik and Malik won't work very well… I've tried it and they're just too taboo. We're better off as Ryou and Bakura… I like their hair better anyways."

Yugi eyed his other half, suspiciously.

Yami coughed, "Ahem! Right, well, let's get this over with!"

"Yeah."

They closed their eyes simultaneously and thought, silently. It was about five minutes before they opened their eyes again and during this time, a lot of somewhat disturbing pictures passed through their link. After forcing themselves to keep prying into the unsuspecting albinos' minds, suddenly, their eyelids flew open and Yugi gasped, wiping a bead of sweat from his cheek.

"Ra, they're weird!" He shook his head, looking to his other half, "Yami? Did you see anything?"

"… Um… Well, not to freak you out or anything, Yugi… But I saw a bunch of monkeys having crazy, wild monkey sex."

"Me, too!"

"…"

"…"

"Hmm." They scrunched their faces in unison, "What could this mean…?"

Another minute of odd silence before…

"MONKEY LOVE!"

Two minutes later, the two pintsize Pharaohs were flying down the steps of the palace, heading for the basement in which their secret weapon was locked, tightly away and being kept under the watchful eye of the Spike Patrol. After six flights of stairs and a few hallways, a large door came before them, labeled with yellow tape that read, 'Do not enter! No, really, we mean it!'

Yami kicked the door open with his mighty boots of doom and stormed in, Yugi close behind. Inside the large basement room laid a huge mound of peach-colored flesh, thrashing around, arms and legs barely held down by ropes that the scarred and upset Spike Patrollers had tied down and were now trying to calm the around one hundred foot fat man who was now rather dumb and caveman like, seeing as how the spell gave him enormous body mass and took away 51.32 of his brain.

When one of the Patrollers saw the Pharaohs enter the room, he ran over to them, gasping and almost in tears, "O-Our Pharaohs! We're glad you're here! W-We don't think we can hold him like you requested! He's much too strong and he's already eaten Bob!"

"Damn. I liked Bob." Yugi frowned.

Yami looked behind the worrying Patroller and saw the chaos that Flyswatter was causing. He turned back to the man, "That's fine, release him. We only created this monstrosity for one purpose and now is the time."

"…" The guard's mouth came unhinged, "PHARAOH? Are you serious? We can't release this… this thing into the streets of Domino! He'll hurt somebody!"

"That's just a risk we'll have to take!" Yami retorted.

They all looked backwards as Flyswatter had managed to get his arm free and raised a man up, popped him in his mouth and only chewed once before he swallowing down the remaining bone, organs and blood.

"Ooh." Yugi and Yami grinned, "Nice."

"No! Fred!" The guard ran over and ended up in the same state as 'Fred'. All the other Spike Patrollers screamed and cried for their mothers, running around in circles. With nothing and no one to hold the ropes, Flyswatter was now totally free and lifted his ridiculously large body from the ground and now lumbered high, casting a shadow on all he surveyed. Which, since all the guards ran away, was now only Yami and Yugi.

He narrowed his eyes and went forward, rocking the ground with his obese body. Yami and Yugi looked up to him when he was only five feet in front. They couldn't see his face because of his large gut, but they had a good view of a few unmentionables.

"Oh…! Guh, this is disgusting!" Yugi turned away, trying not to throw up.

"This was your idea, so deal!" Yami growled then turned to Flyswatter, without fear, "Alright Flyswatter! We have a job for you!"

His head tilted.

"In Southern Domino there is a factory! In this factory hides two men we want killed! Eat them, crush them, put them in a tossed salad for all we care, just do it!"

Flyswatter laughed viciously, seeming to understand what his Pharaohs desired. He turned around towards the back wall and stomped forward, actually pushing down the wall and heading towards the south, his booty meat shaking in the wind.

"Our wall!" Yugi cried. "… Hey, Yami, how come you told him to only go to Beta? The other two will probably be going to Alpha as well."

"I know. But since they have to be pulled at the same time for anything to happen, taking away two of them will be good for now. We can take care of the other two on our own time." Yami nodded to his hikari.

"…Wow. This is gonna be good."

Meanwhile, in another part of the palace, in a dank cell that was now filled with two beings, a young girl who was tied in chains hung there in misery and woe as her supposed 'rescuer' was now circling her and singing what he liked to call 'The I Love Heidi Song'.

"And it's truuuuuue! That I love yoooooooou!" He twirled around again and jumped in the air, landing in a split, "Cause it's the I love Heidi, I love Heidi, I love Heidi SONG!"

After hearing that song in French, Arabian, Spanish, Indonesian and the 'Mature' version, Heidi was ready to do anything she had to do to get that man to shut-up. But no matter what she said to him, he would never take her seriously and think she was playing hard to get.

"C-Cody-" She began but was cut off by his asking her something.

"Hey, Heidikins! Do you want to hear that song in Yiddish? 'Cause, y'know, I'd be happy to do it for ya!" He smiled brightly, just happy to be in the company of the ex-general.

"NO! I-I mean, no thanks. I'm okay."

Cody nodded thoughtfully and then a light bulb flashed over his head, indicating an idea had occurred, "… Heidikins, Heidikins!"

"Yes…" She said, glumly.

He folded his arms and gave a cheeky grin, "Since I done rescued yas, don't I get a kiss?"

"…! What! Rescued? I may be new at this whole knight-in-shining-armor thing, but aren't I supposed to be free of chains and on the outside of the cell walls? And, I dunno, aren't you supposed to be a handsome prince?"

Cody shrugged, "Why? You're not a princess."

"…"

"'Sides! This is rescuin'! I just… haven't gotten to step two! Which is gettin' you outside! Ah, yup yup! Just need to plan meh next move, s'all!"

Heidi grimaced, "Well, while you're planning your next 'move', I'll just sit here and be tortured within an inch of my life! Jeez, Cody! You really think this is just a little game, huh? I'm going to die and there really isn't much you can do about it, is there? And you can wish all you want, but I'm not kissing you!" She turned her head away, signaling that she was done with him, "Just leave me alone, okay?"

"Aw…" Cody recoiled as if smacked in the face. He twiddled his thumbs and whispered, "But, H-Heidikins-"

"And another thing! I'm not Heidikins! I'm Heidi D'Angelo, ex-General of the Spike Patrollers! And if I have to go, I'm going to go with some dignity in my title! Not as Heidikins, Cody's Delusional Wannabe Girlfriend! I don't like you, Cody, and I never did! So do us both a favor and stop living in a fantasy world!"

By the time she was done scolding and emotionally scaring him, Cody had backed up to the wall, his eyes glistening. He sniffed as he saw that her glare was unwavering and he rubbed the back of his neck, sorely. "Ah… O… Okay…"

He walked towards the cell door and opened it, as he left, hummed the 'I Love Heidi Song' in monotone and sobbed a 'Ah, yup yup'. The door that he walked out of was left about an inch open, letting a bit of light shine through.

Heidi blinked, '… That was open?'
