A Fantastic Story
Chapter 9 - Jealousy?
Tristan ran back into the tent as Yugi followed. Meanwhile, Tea was trying to drag Joey away from the reporters.
"Tristan, wait up," Yugi said as he finally caught up with him. "Look, I know you're not happy about this. But I promise we will find away to get us back to normal. And when we do, I'll do everything in my power for it to happen."
"Thanks Yugi, that means a lot," Tristan replied. "But how are we going to find it?"
"I think I can solve that," Arthur Hawkins said as he re-entered the tent. "I invite you lot to stay in my lab, there's enough room, we can do some tests so see what the course was and maybe find a cure."
"Thank you, that's very kind of you," Yugi said.
Meanwhile over at Kaiba corp.…
Mokuba came into the office as Kaiba was looking at his scar in a hand-mirror.
"Seto, take a look at this!" Mokuba said as he turned on the news where the 'Fantastic Four' were on. Kaiba instantly put down the mirror and lent forward in his chair as soon as he saw them.
"Well, well, well, isn't that interesting," he responded.
A load of police motorbikes, cars and a van pulled up outside a tall building called the Hawkins Building. Outside of the building were hundreds of screaming fans with a walking way leading of to the building entrance,
"Whoa, this is just like a movie premiere, except we're the stars!" Joey said from inside the police car.
Out of the police car stepped out Yugi, Tea, Joey Rebecca and Arthur Hawkins. Most of them just ignored the screaming crowds and walked into the building as Yugi and Tea carried their bags of belongings. But Joey stayed behind and started showing off.
Tristan stepped out of the police van. Some of the crowd gasped and some cheered. Tristan tried to ignore them and walked up to the building. But just as he was about to enter, Joey stopped him.
"Come on Tristan, lighten up!" Joey said to his friend.
"Easy for you to say," Tristan replied.
"Come on, at last say hi to the kids."
Tristan turned to a group of little kids. They gasped as Tristan starred at them.
"Ur…um...don't do drugs!" Tristan said before going into the building, Joey then followed him.
All of them went into the lift.
"The lab is on the top floor," Rebecca said as she pressed the button to the top floor.
The doors closed, the lift went up a bit, but then suddenly stopped. They all looks up at the little screen next to the buttons, which was flashing the words 'Over-weight', they then all looked at Tristan.
"I guess I'll take the stairs," Tristan sighed as he opened the doors and stepped out of the lift. The doors closed again, and this time, the lift did go up.
"How come Tristan can't turn it on and off like we can?" Joey asked.
"That's why we've bought you lot here to found out," Arthur Hawkins said.
"But, if it happened to him…" Tea said.
"What? We wouldn't be able to turn it off either?" Joey replied. "That would save time."
"Come on, you don't want to walk around on fire for the rest of your life, do you?" Yugi said.
"Is that a trick question?"
"Grow up," Tea replied.
"Come on, am I the only guy who thinks this is cool?"
Once they reached the top floor, they stepped out of the lift, walked down the corridor and into the lab.
"Whoa!" Joey said as he took his first look at the place.
"Believe it or not, Grandpa lives here," Rebecca said.
"So you bring your work home with you then."
Kaiba stepped out of his limo, walked pasted the crowds, into the Hawkins building and up the lift. Once he got to the top floor and stepped out, he instantly saw Yugi sorting out some of his things with the help of his new powers.
"Yugi," he said.
"Kaiba!" Yugi replied when he heard him and stretched his arms back into normal length. "What brings you here?"
"I saw you lot on the news, you and your…powers."
"Oh, Yeah, that…that's why we're here, so we can find away to reverse the effects."
Ironic, isn't it?"
"Huh?"
"Ever since you beat me over a year ago, I've searched for ways to defeat you, but every time I work out away, you seem to have become more powerful…and this just tops it!"
"Kaiba, these powers won't be around for long, once we find a cure they are gone. If you could just understand…."
"I don't need to understand!" Kaiba shouted as the light flickered for a bit. "Just get your little powers fixed. Meanwhile, I'm going to find my blue eyes! In case you've forgotten about your own missing cards!"
"Have you got a problem?" Tristan said as he finally made it up the stairs and heard Kaiba shouting at Yugi.
"Oh look, the rock's here," Kaiba said before turning around to go back to the lift, but only to find Joey standing there.
"Jealous Kaiba?" Joey said.
"Out of my way, flame boy!" Kaiba yelled as he shoved Joey out of the way, pushing him into the wall, hard. Kaiba then went into the lift as the doors closed behind him.
"Ouch! That was rough " Joey responded.
Meanwhile, inside of the lift…
'Why do those geeks get all the powers…Yugi is always one step ahead of me. IT'S NOT FAR!' he thought before he punched the lift wall in front of him, which made a huge dent. Kaiba was shocked and confused at what just happened. Kaiba looked at his knuckles, which were turning a sliver colour. "What the?"
Once Yugi, Joey, Tea and Tristan had unpacked their stuff in their rooms and settled in, they all went back into the lab. Where Professor Arthur Hawkins and Rebecca approached them.
"All right then," he said. "Let the tests begin!"
