A Fantastic Story
Chapter 8 - The Bridge, Part 2

Tristan ripped off the door of the truck and took the seat out of it, with the driver still in it, to get him safely out. While the man, who attempted to commit suicide, ran away from Tristan in fear.

"Sorry about this," Tristan said to the driver about the damaged truck. Suddenly, the police held their guns up at him.

"Put the man down and put up hands up in the air!" One of them yelled.

Tristan slowly put the man in the seat down, but once he did, Tristan ran away form the police. They started shooting at him, but it didn't affect his rock like body.

"We're going to need back up!" the policeman said.

Meanwhile, not to far away…

Tea had slipped past the policemen and the crowds, and then let Yugi and Joey through. She was just getting changed again behind a van when they all heard gun shots.

"Oh no!" Tea said.

"Tristan!" Joey yelled.

"Lets go," Yugi responded.

All three of them arrived on the crush scene.

"Tristan," Tea called out, but she couldn't see anything, so she jumped up on a parked cab to get a better view. "Trist…an?"

Suddenly, she spotted something. Yugi and Joey turned their headed in the same direction to see. All three of them gasped at the thing in front of them…they instantly knew that was their friends they'd been looking for.

"Tristan!" Yugi called out. Tristan turned to see his friends.

Suddenly, more police cars arrived, but then one of them crashed into the other cars and started a fire. Just then, one of the gas tanks blow open which blasted the fire into an explosion.

Joey noticed a little girl trapped near the explosion. He ran over, grabbed her and he shielded her with himself as the explosion hit them.

The explosion expanded so much that it nearly pushed a fire engine over the bridge. But just half of it was hanging over with a couple of the firemen hanging down on the end of it.

Suddenly, the fire made the other gas tasks blow open, which caused a bigger explosion that could wipe out everyone on the bridge. But before it could hit anyone, Tea put her hands up and some sort of blue force filed came out and surrounded it's self around the explosion, just as it was about to hit her! Tea was so shocked and confused at what just happened. She then tried pushing her arms in, which made the force field close in and die the fire down.

Meanwhile, Yugi and Tristan watched the half dangling fire truck.

"Tristan, can you pull that truck back onto the bridge?" Yugi asked.

"Umm…I can try," he replied. "What are you going to do?"

"Help!" one of the firemen on the bridge yelled out. "Those guys on the other end of the engine are going to fall!"

"Oh, you'll see," Yugi told his friend.

Tristan nodded at Yugi's plan, but he still wasn't sure what Yugi meant by that. He grabbed hold of the front of the fire truck and used all of his strength to pull it back.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the fire truck…

"Help, I'm slipping!" one the firemen yelled as his grip was getting weaker on the truck.

"Just hang on!" Another one of them yelled.

Suddenly, he completely lost his grip and fell. But just as he was about to hit the water, he was caught. He was relieved at first, but then he was confused of how he was saved. He looked back to see that Yugi had stretched down from the bridge and caught him.

"Hello there," Yugi said as he started to pull the fireman back up. Meanwhile Tristan had completely pulled back the fire truck back on to the bridge.

Suddenly, just as Joey and Tea had rejoined them, they were surrounded by police and their guns.

"Freeze, don't move!" the policemen yelled, but then were stopped by the firemen that they had just saved.

"Don't you dare." One of them said as the policemen put their guns down. "They're heroes."

Yugi, Joey, Tea and Tristan sat in a tent silently. Joey was looking at Tristan's new form.

"Where are you ears?" he asked as Tristan angrily looked up at him.

Just then, Solomon, Arthur Hawkins, Rebecca and one of the firemen entered the tent.

"Grandpa!" Yugi said as he hugged him.

"Yugi, is was so worried about you!" Solomon replied. "I saw what happened on the news, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Ur…I don't want to interrupt, but there are a lead of people outside waiting to talk to you lot," the fireman said.

"We're not going public with this!" Yugi replied.

"Too late for that," Rebecca said as she turned on the television to reveal the news with them on it. " There calling you lot 'The Fantastic Four'."

"Cool!" Joey said as he ran out of the tent.

"Joey! Get back here!" Tea yelled as they all went after him. "Joey!"

They all followed Joey over to where a bunch of press was standing. Joey, Yugi and Tea stood in front of them, while Tristan stayed at the back a bit.

"Which one of you is the leader?" one of the reporters asked.

"I am," Joey said as he stepped forward. But they just laughed at the idea.

"Yeah right," Tristan said from behind him. Just then, Tea shoved Yugi forward a bit.

"Tea!" Yugi responded as he tried to back away, but the press had already noticed him and quieted down as they all held out their microphones at Yugi. "Okay, well…one night, an incident happened and we ended up on an old abandoned space station. There, we were then exposed to some sort of recitative energy…"

"How did you get up there?" each of the press shouted out towards Yugi, and then started asking the others questions. "How many did it effect?…How far can you stretch?…can you catch on fire?…. Is it true that you fly?"

"I'm working on that, " Joey replied. "It's actually really difficult…"

"Actually," Tea interrupted. "We don't know much more than you at this point!"

"That thing doesn't look to fantastic," a reporter said as he pointed at Tristan. This made him angry and stepped forward a bit, but Yugi held him back.

"Tristan is our friend!" Yugi replied. "And we will not let people talk…"

"What Yugi means is that every team needs a mascot!" Joey interrupted as he put his arms around Yugi and Tristan. The press laughed at his joke. "A new day is rising, the day of the Fantastic Four!"
