Chapter Seven

At the same time, Yugi's and Joey's decks, forgotten on the table, glowed and released monsters before Bakura could seal them up.

A flash of light and the Dark Magician was standing there, confused.

Another flash and the Flame Swordsman popped out, immediately tripping over Joey who was still crawling after the wayward scapegoats.

Dark Necrophia appeared behind Ryou.

And the Man-Eater Bug beside her.

Then Bakura sealed the cards shut and no more got loose.

It was instant chaos after that.

The Flame Swordsman was hopping from foot to foot, trying to avoid scapegoats and the crawling Joey.

Dark Necrophia and Dark Magician began growling at each other, readying themselves for battle.

The Red Eyes Black Dragon popped out of Yami Bakura's soul room and began a fight with the Man-Eater Bug.

"STOP THIS!" Yami roared.

Surprisingly, they did.

The Duel Monsters were still, (except for the scapegoats, which continued to move.) and the other kids stood quiet as well.

"Bakura, stop the Red-Eyes and the Bug from killing each other. Dark Magician, leave Dark Necrophia alone. Flame Swordsman, move away from the goats, and Joey, catch those blasted creatures!" Yami commanded, and Joey scooped two up while the Flame Swordsman grabbed the other two.

The Dark Magician seemed to be........pouting? That was odd. And Dark Necrophia was standing in front of Ryou and Bakura protectively, with the Man-Eater Bug and Red-Eyes around her.

The newly summoned monsters were smaller than usual, like the other ones. Where the Dark Magician, Flame Swordsman, and Dark Necrophia would have been taller than Joey, they were now even in height with Ryou. (who I think is a little bit shorter than Joey.)

The Man-Eater Bug, when standing on its legs, was shoulder height to Yugi.

All in all, it will prove to be a lot of trouble.

(After a minute of calming down.)

"Alright, so what are we going to do with these guys?" Joey asked, leaning against the wall with the Flame Swordsman next to him.

"I don't know." Yami admitted. The Duel Monsters from his deck were standing nearby, quiet.

Ryou could be heard yelling.

"Ra curse it, you monsters! Stop fighting!" Ryou shouted. The Man-Eater Bug and the Red-Eyes Black Dragon were not giving up their fight. The two seemed to have a grudge against each other. Dark Necrophia just shook her head and continued watching over Bakura, who seemed slightly weak from trying to use Shadow Magic.

"Maybe Isis will know." Yugi mused.

"Yeah, she probably will, but how do we get there with Monsters by our side?" Ryou asked, frustrated.

"Put them in your soul room." Joey said, grinning.

Ryou shook his head. "Fine. But you're watching the Scapegoats, as they're not too noticeable. I can only have so many in my head at once."

"Alright." He looked around, frowning. "Where are they again?"

Ryou slapped his forehead with a hand. "O' Ra, why me?" He muttered.

(On the way to Isis's)

"Ryou? What's the matter?" Yami asked as they walked.

Ryou grimaced. "The Bug and Dragon are not quitting their fight, despite Bakura trying to stop them." He rubbed his temples, grumbling.

Yugi looked at him with sympathy. He and Yami were holding the Dark Magician, the Flame Swordsman, and the Kuriboh inside his Soul Room, and they were behaving.

(A/N: Now, I am making up their ability to put the Duel Monsters into their Soul Rooms. It might not be a true ability, but for the sake of the story, lets say it is.)

Ryou mentally heard the Man-Eater Bug and Red-Eyes growl at each other, then Dark Necrophia's voice as she helped Bakura split them apart.

Ryou turned his sight into the depths of his mind, and smiled as he "saw" Bakura shove the Red-Eyes into Ryou's Soul Room and lock the Bug in his.

"What are you smiling about?" Joey questioned.

"Dark Necrophia split up the fight." Ryou answered.

"I never liked that monster. She creeps me out." Joey said conversationally.

Ryou laughed and shook his head. They arrived at the museum and went in.

(Inside.)

After explaining their problem to Isis, she nodded in understanding and reassured them that Malik and Marik had not tried to summon any monsters lately.

Which was a relief. It would be VERY bad if a physical version of Ra appeared, even if he would be a miniature.

They released the monsters from their Soul Rooms, and Isis spent some time using her item to "see" possible ways to return them to the Shadow Realm.

Bakura went off with Malik and Marik somewhere, and the others got down to business.

"Yami Bakura should be able to do this once he gets older, which shouldn't be long, according to Shadi." She said. "But I can't do anything right now."

"Great." Ryou sighed.

"Um, where are they?" Tristan asked, glancing about.

"Where are who?" Yugi asked.

"The kids. Uh, Bakura, Malik, and Marik." Tristan said, now spinning about in place. Everyone looked around.

They were gone.

And so was Joey.

"Great." Ryou said again, taking off where he sensed his yami to be, the others following behind.

He slid to a stop at what he saw in one of the more private rooms of the museum, though.

Bakura, Malik, Marik, and, surprisingly, Joey, were crouched around a small obstacle course built of books, a globe, and other random items.

Each held a small Scapegoat.

They stood in front of the finished obstacle course, determined and not paying the others any mind.

"Okay, whoever wins this, the others have to give him their dessert for today." Joey said solemnly.

He held the orange Scapegoat.

"Great." Malik said, grinning as he looked at the pink one that was nestled in his hands.

Marik nodded in agreement, stroking his blue one.

Bakura was whispering to his little red one, and smirked as they got ready to release the little duel monsters.

"No cheating." Joey said firmly.

Bakura cast him a annoyed look, before crouching down.

"Okay..........GO!"

They let the scapegoats go and cheered them on as they ran though the obstacle course.

Yami raised an eyebrow, and the others grinned in amusement. A new idea.

"GO GO GO!!" Malik cheered, the pink scapegoat crossing the finish line, really a line of chalk drawn on the floor.

"YAY!" Malik whooped, scooping the goat up and hugging it. Bakura got in second, Marik in third, and Joey's came in last.

"Figures." The blonde sniffed, but congratulated his goat anyways.

"Now that we're done playing, we need to figure out what's going on." Yami said, and they decided it was a good idea.

Down to business.

What to do about the seven duel monsters and the three de-aged kids who were going to take a while before growing older? And when was Bakura considered old enough to be strong enough to dismiss the monsters?

Only Ra knew.

Okay! I know this story is getting far fetched way, WAY too much, but oh well. I can't help it. So the whole story will be far fetched and nearly everyone is OOC.
