A Fantastic Story
Chapter 2 - Disaster
Joey woke up instantly as the light hit his face, from when Yugi opened the shutters. Yugi still stood at the viewing window; with his mouth still wide open in shock. Joey got up and went over to his friend.
"Hey Yugi, what's wrong?" Joey asked, without looking out the window.
Yugi didn't say anything; he just nodded his head in the direction that he was starring in. Joey turned his head so that he could see what his friend was so much shock about. Suddenly, he look on his face was exactly like Yugi's.
"What!" Joey yelled so loud that he woke up Tea, Tristan and Kaiba.
"Oh Joey," Tristan said as he woke up. "I was having a good dream."
"Well that's about to turn into a nightmare once you see this!"
The three of them you had a sudden look of confusion on their faces, what be so bad on the over side of that window?
They all got up and looked out of it, all three of them were shocked as they looked out at the stars, the other planets and the Earth.
"Oh my God!" Tea yelled.
"How did we get up here?" Tristan said before banging on the glass-viewing window. "Help! Help!"
"We're in Space genius, no one but us, unfortunately, can hear you," Kaiba responded.
"Tristan has got a point though," Joey replied. "How did we get up here?"
"It must have been that gang we ran into," Yugi said.
"Yeah, but what did they want?"
"They obviously wanted me and Yugi out of the way for something," Kaiba said.
"But what?" Yugi replied, before he had a horrible thought, he looked down at where his millennium puzzle would be, it was still there, Yugi was relieved but then he searched his deck. "Oh no, they took the Egyptian God cards…and my Dark magician."
"Hey, they took my Red Eyes!" Joey said as he searched his deck.
"They took my Blue Eyes White Dagon as well," Kaiba said as he searched his deck. "All three of them. Those cowards, they didn't want to duel us so they just knocked as out, stole our most powerful cards and then dumped us up here to die."
"Die! I don't want to die…I'm too pretty to die!" Joey yelled.
Suddenly, the wide screen behind them switched it's self on. On it was Mokuba, Solomon (Yugi's grandfather), professor Arthur Hawkins and his granddaughter Rebecca.
"Seto, Seto, come in," Mokuba said as the gang suddenly turned around to see them and walked closer to the screen.
"Mokuba!" Kaiba replied.
"How did you lot find us," Joey asked.
"Seto always carries a tracking device around on him, like the ones we put on our duel-disks."
"Mokuba, where are we?" Kaiba asked.
"You at an old abandoned space station above the Earth's atmosphere."
"How do we get back down to Earth then," Joey asked.
"You can't, but we're sending a ship to rescue you," Professor Hawkins said. "But it will take awhile for it to get there and by that time it could be too late!"
"What! Isn't there someway that we could keep alive?" Tristan asked.
"Well…there is one way, but to do that one of you would have go out and fix the Titanium shields on the station, but it's to risky."
"Just tell us what we need to do."
"Okay, first you must search the Space station to see if the old crew left behind any space suits."
"All right, me and Joey will have a look," Tristan said as he and Joey went out of the control room.
"Where do these shields have to be fixed then?" Yugi asked.
"They are located outside of the station. Once they are fixed, the shields should protect you." Hawkins replied.
"Should?"
After a while, Tristan and Joey came back.
"I did you find anything?" Tea asked.
"We could only find one space suit," Tristan replied as he bought it in.
"But we did find these other cool suits," Joey said as he came in wearing a dark red suit, Tristan was also wearing one and Joey also had 3 other suits in his hands.
"Joey, take that off!" Tea said.
"Actually, that's not a bad idea," Hawkins said. "I remember scientists saying about suits like that act as a second skin. Put them on, they will protect you."
"Okay," Tea replied.
"Sure," Yugi said as they both took their suits from Joey and went off to get changed.
"No way!" Kaiba said. "You won't get me in that. You lot look like you're going to do swan lake in those."
"Suit yourself," Joey joked.
"So, which one of us has to put on the Space-suit on?" Tristan asked.
"I suggest you do it," Joey said.
"What! Why me?"
"You're the one who found it."
"All right. Rock, paper, scissors, loser goes outside."
"Fine."
"Rock, paper, scissors!" they said together as they made the hand the positions.
At the end, Joey's hand was in a fist (Rock) and Tristan's hand had two figures sticking out in the shape of scissors.
"Ha, ha, rock beats scissors!" Joey gloated.
"No way! Let's try again!"
"Get out there Space-man!"
Later, Tristan had put the Space suit on and had just stepped outside onto the platform. Joey stood in the room, where Tristan had just stepped out of, watching him.
Yugi was sitting outside a room, waiting for Tea to get changed so that he could use the room. Suddenly Tea walked out in the room with her dark red suit on, she had the front zip down a little bit.
"Wow," Yugi said as he stood up. "Joey was right, these suits do look cool."
"Yugi," Tea said, as he was about to go into the room.
"Yeah?"
"If we get out of here alive…do you want to go out some time?"
"Sure," Yugi said. "I'll ask Joey and Tristan when they come back to see if the want to come along."
Yugi then walked into the room to get changed as Tea sighed in frustration. She then went back into the control room, which Kaiba was still in.
Meanwhile outside of the station…
Professor Hawkins was communicating with Tristan though his suit.
"Tristan, the manual override for the shields are near each of the observation windows," he said.
"Spin the wheel and close the shields," Tristan replied as he looked at the wheels next to each of the windows.
"Exactly, the station's safety is in your hands."
"But no pressure," Joey added.
Yugi had just put his suit on in the room and was just about to pick his millennium puzzle, which he had taken off to get changed. But suddenly a computer from behind him started beeping.
"What the?" he said as pushed a few buttons.
Suddenly the computer said:
"Impact in 10 minutes."
Yugi instantly ran out of that room and back into the control room.
"Professor Hawkins, there's something heading this way."
Suddenly, Tristan's voice filled the control room just after he fixed the shields.
"Hey guys…what's that!" Tristan said as he saw a red cloud rapidly coming towards the station.
"Amazing," Hawkins said. "That's a cosmic cloud, its very rare are very dangerous if it hits you!"
"Well we've got to close the shields then," Kaiba said.
"We can't, Tristan's still out there!" Yugi yelled.
"Yugi it's the only way. It's him or us!"
Suddenly Yugi ran out of the control room. Tea shortly followed. Kaiba then pushed a few buttons and the Titanium shields closed around the control room.
"Tristan!" Joey yelled. "You've got to get back here now!"
Suddenly, a yellow lighting blot stuck from the cloud and destroyed the platform Tristan needed to get back on.
"I'm not going to make it!" Tristan yelled.
"You're going to have to jump!"
Tristan took a big jump and flew though Space towards the station hatch with the cloud right on his tail. He had nearly made it in when the cloud hit his and sent him flying in, pressing him up against the glass and then falling down. Joey quickly closed the shield…but that didn't stop it.
The cloud pushed Joey back a bit and made in float though the cloud as it surrounded him and the yellow lightening blots started to hit him.
Meanwhile, Kaiba stood in the control room as it started shaking.
"Seto! Seto!" Mokuba yelled before the communication link went off.
"Mokuba…" Kaiba shouted before the computer blow up and the electric shock knocked Kaiba up against one of the shields.
Yugi ran though the corridor towards in the room his friends were in.
"Joey! Tristan!" Yugi shouted. But suddenly the cloud hit him, the blots kept on knocking parts of Yugi's body back as he felt like he was being torn apart while the cloud rushed past him really fast.
Tea turned the corner of the corridor as the cloud suddenly hit her as well.
"Ah!" she screamed, she held her hands up as she felt like the cloud going though her.
The red cloud covered the entire Space Station.
