A Fantastic Story
Chapter 15 - Naming
Yugi, Tristan and Tea sat outside the warehouse as the police was investigating it.
"How are you feeling?" Yugi asked Tea.
"I'm okay," she replied. "Although he did kick me in the stomach pretty hard."
Suddenly, Tristan looked up, noticing someone was missing.
"Hey, where's Joey?" he asked.
Meanwhile, Joey was talking to all the reporters and cameras about what happened.
"Boy, it is hot out here? Or is it just me?" He joked as they laughed. He then ripped of what was left of his clothes from the battle to reveal his dark-red space suit, but it also had a small circle on the corner of his chest with a dark-red '4' on it.
"Wow!" all the reporters replied in astonishment. "They look FAB!"
Just then, Yugi, Tea and Tristan into the scene, but still stood far away from Joey and the reporters.
"There he is!" Yugi said as he saw his friend. "I thought we told him to stay away from the reporters!"
"Well, you know Joey," Tristan replied. "He doesn't listen."
Suddenly, Tea noticed what Joey had done to his suit.
"What has he done to his suit?" Tea replied. She then looked down at her suit that she was wearing and it had the '4' symbol on it as well. "What has he done to mine?"
Yugi also noticed the same thing was on his suit underneath his clothes.
"So do you have any special names?" one reporter asked Joey.
"Well they call me the Human Torch," Joey replied. "Because I'm so hot!"
"What about your friend, Yugi Moto? Some people have called him Mr Fantastic after the comic…"
"Not bad," Tristan said to Yugi.
"…Is it true that the can stretch any part of his anatomy?"
"Well, I've always found him to be a little limp," Joey joked, as Yugi's month shot open, surprised at Joey's comment towards him.
"What about Tea Gardner?"
"That's easy, she's the Invisible Girl."
"Girl!" Tea replied.
"What about that thing over there?" a reporter asked as they pointed at Tristan.
"That's it, The Thing," Joey replied. "And you should have seen him before the storm!"
"Uh oh," Yugi and Tea said together.
"Tristan, Joey didn't mean that…" Yugi said as he turned to look at his friend, but he wasn't there. "Tristan?"
Meanwhile, Joey was answering more questions. When, all of a sudden, Joey's flashed red sports car landed right next to him, crushed up into a ball.
"What! Who did this?" Joey said in shock before someone threw his licence plate at his head. Joey looked up to see Tristan standing there, looking angry. "Oh, You're going to pay for that Pebbles!"
Suddenly, Yugi and Tea ran over and stood in between them.
"Joey! You gave us names?" Tea said. "I thought we talked about this."
"No, you talked about it," Joey replied.
"I'm going to break your face pretty boy," Tristan angrily said as Tea tried to hold him back form attacking Joey.
"That's rich, coming from a monster!" Joey replied. Tristan then threw up a punch at Joey's face, but then stopped at the last second and then walked away.
"Joey, say you're sorry!" Tea said. But then Joey threw a fireball at the back of Tristan's head. Tristan turned around, a little surprised.
"Did you just…" Tristan replied, but then Joey threw another fireball into Tristan's face! Tristan then angrily charged back towards him. "Okay then Tinkerbell, if you want to fly, then fly!"
Tristan went to punch Joey, but at the last seconds Yugi stood in front of Joey. The punch hit Yugi in the stomach, but because of Yugi's rubber powers, the punch went right through him and hit Joey. This made Joey go flying backwards hit a billboard.
Joey then got back up and angrily went back towards his so-called 'friends'.
"Come on then block head!" Joey yelled as he and Tristan came face to face again.
Suddenly, Tea came in between them and used her energy to separate the two.
"Okay, that's enough! We're supposed to be friends!" she yelled. Tristan then stormed off in the other direction. Tea looked back to Joey before she went after him. "You see what you've done!"
"What I've done? He started it!" Joey yelled back as she went off.
"Joey, you need to control yourself," Yugi said to his friend. "Think before you act!"
"Enough, I get I've heard it all before," Joey replied. "And don't talk about 'act'. That's your problem!"
"Huh?"
"Ever since the storm, you always think and never act. Have you ever thought we got these powers for a reason? Of course you have, but you've never acted on it. What if we have like some kind of higher calling?"
"Higher calling? Like getting girl and making money?"
"Is there any higher? Look, this is who we are now Yugi, so just accept it…or better, yet enjoy it!"
Joey then turned and walked into the crowd of fans that had arrived, Leaving Yugi on his own. Yugi then heard some one clapping at him, then looked back to see Kaiba and Mokuba standing there. Also the scar next Kaiba's right eye had gotten bigger for some reason.
"Bravo, what a show," Kaiba said. "I was starting to think I'd never see the day the geek squad would brake up. But there it was as soon as I arrived. I wish I brought popcorn."
"Please, not now Kaiba," Yugi said sadly, as his placed his hand on his stomach, felling a little pain from before.
"Are you okay Yugi?" Mokuba asked as he went over to him.
"Yeah, it'll heal. It's just not everyday I get punch in the stomach," Yugi said. He then looked up at Kaiba. "Kaiba, did you…"
"Get back cards back?" Kaiba replied, as he held up his three Blue Eyes White Dragon cards in his gloved hand. But oddly, this was the only hand he had a gloved on. "Yeah, I got them."
"Me too," Yugi said hold up his retreated cards. Kaiba then turned around into go back to the limo.
"Let's go Mokuba. I've got some business to take care of."
"Coming," Mokuba replied before turning back to Yugi. "I hope this all gets better soon Yugi."
"Yeah, me too," Yugi replied before Mokuba ran after his brother. Leaving Yugi alone again.
Meanwhile…
Tea fought through the crowds on the street and finally caught up with Tristan.
"Tristan!" she said. "He didn't mean it. You know Joey, he's always been a little bit of a hot head, even before the storm!"
"It's him, IT'S THEM!" Tristan shouted as the people around them in the street and then turns back to Tea in a normal voice. "I can't live like this!"
"Just give them a little more time. Yugi's been working ever so hard on it…"
"Oh yeah, it's easier for you to be patient."
"No it's not! You don't know how patient I've been these past few years!" Tea snapped, but then she calmed down. They both stopped walking. "I know this whole situation is a nightmare, but we're all in this together Tristan." She held up her hand with she used to draw the friendship mark on her hand all those years ago.
"Together?" Tristan replied as he looked down and his hand that the symbol was drawn onto. "That friendship symbol disappeared into these rock-like hands. It's not there anymore…look at me, you have no idea what I would give to be invisible…your nightmare, is my dream!"
Tristan walked away again. But this time, Tea didn't follow him. She stood there for a while with tears felling down her face, still looking down at her hand.
"It can't be broken," she sadly said as she started to turn invisible. "It just can't be…"
Tea had now disappeared completely, leaving only the sound of footsteps walking away.
