Chapter 8
Part one:
"What do you do when it all falls apart?"
"It's your move Mr Kaiba"
Dartz words echo throughout the kingdom.
All eyes are now firmly placed on the tense CEO as he proceeds to make his move.
Dartz has a smug look on his face. He looks as though he is about to tell them something.
"Do you two honestly think that you are capable of defeating me?"
He questions with a snarl.
"Oh I know I am" Seto growls.
"We are both here to set things right Dartz" Yami adds, in his heroic like voice.
"As soon as you lose this duel, everyone will realise what a brain washing scum you really are", Tea yells in rage.
"Ha" Dartz laughs.
"Spoken like a true backseat delinquent duellist"…"and female"
Tea snares at the green haired man.
"Watch your mouth" Mai bellows…
"Oh I would'ent say too much Miss Valentine", Dartz replies with an evil grin.
"You have already caused enough hurt, don't you think?"
His words are cold and strike a cord in Mai.
"Enough childish insults, let's do this", Kaiba intercepts…defending mai on the quiet.
"Aw but I'm having so much fun" Dartz sarcastically pines.
He then closes his blue/green eyes and speaks something in Egyptian.
This causes arched eye brows and curious suspicion.
Yami gasps. He knew exactly what the well spoken man was saying.
Dartz begins to cackle.
"What did he say?" A worried Serenity asks.
She is clinging onto Tristan, which pleases him.
"Yes my dear Yami, do tell them what it was I said" Dartz sniggers.
"You bastard" The red/black and blonde haired duellist yells in rage.
The group, including seto and mai all gasp in shock at the usually calm Yami's reaction.
After calming down a little, Yami explains. "He was the reason Amelda lost his family, not Gozaboro".
Seto is seething at this revelation.
"So he lost his soul for nothing Kaiba" the Egyptian pharaoh adds solemnly.
Mai feels her fists clench.
"That evil, manipulative…." she growls under her breath.
"Thanks to you Mr Kaiba, Amelda will never know" Dartz cackles evilly.
"Oh yes he will" Seto snaps.
He summons his mystical elf card which he will be able to sacrifice in order to summon his BEWD card.
"What about Valon and Raphael?" Tea asks, standing metres behind Yami.
"Oh, if you mean, was I responsible for their sad misfortunes of the past?" "Then yes "Guilty as charged". Dartz places his left hand by his heart with sarcasm.
"It is so sad that none of those poor fools will ever know the real truth behind their defeat", Dartz explains.
Yami knew that in order to defeat this lunatic, him and kaiba would have to rely on each other which meant more than just duelling together. Kaiba knew this too. His main intention though was to save his company and get rid of this guy so he and the people he cared about (himself, his little brother and now Mai) don't lose their souls…again.
"You know why I am here" the cold Kaiba corp. owner says to his comrade.
"Yes but Kaiba we need to work together" Yami explains in his pleading sound of voice, but no too pleading in order to maintain his dignity.
Seto rolls his eyes. Did he agree and reluctantly combine his trust with the good Pharaoh? He was after all the King of games, yet Kaiba had tried to defeat him many times…then again did seto really have a choice? If he said no then he risked losing his soul and mai most likely forever!
Dartz folds arms.
"You know that you're going to give in and side with Mr Pharaoh" He yawns.
"Shut up" Seto yells.
He releases his elf onto Dartz monster.
None of his life points are affected by Seto's attack.
The group are stunned….
"What?" Mokuba yelps.
"How did not affect any points?" "Dartz was wide open?"
Seto and Yami are both a little perplexed themselves.
"Ha don't you two ingrates see?" Dartz yells.
"I already know what is going to happen next" "I know every move, every flinch and every soul lost in order to create a new and better Atlantis Mwhuahahah"
He laughs triumphantly.
Kaiba didn't know what move to make….and neither did Yami. For the first time in both of their duelling careers, the two guys were lost for moves.
The atmosphere was cold.
Mokuba trembled; he knew that this was most likely it and that he would probably never see his big brother again.
Serenity wept for Joey with Tristan and Tea. Rebecca hugged Duke…Joey and little Yugi's souls looked as though they were gone forever.
Mai froze she stood silently. The only noise was that in her mind which was repeating "I can't lose you too"
FLASHBACK 2 YEARS EARLIER
She slumps onto her bed and buries her head in her pillow.
How could he leave? Noone left Kajaku Mai-well no guy did anyway
"I need some alone time" "To think Mai Mai", he softly said calling his girlfriend by her pet name.
"Don't call me that", she spat leaning away from him.
How dare he try to hug her?
"It's been a good year but now it's time to move on", the spiky blonde voiced to the blonde haired female.
"Oh so that's the reason you're leaving?" she yelled.
She walked out of the lounge and into the kitchen, away from him.
He stood there, wearing his naval uniform, staring at the floor.
"I told you it was never a certain thing", he added in his defence.
"Puh" Mai grunted. "You seemed happy enough to jump into my bed whenever you weren't offshore on that ship" she said with her arms crossed.
"You know it's more than just a ship Mai", he replied.
She pouted dejectedly.
"Sweetie you're sixteen" "you have plenty of time to find someone else" "At school you know you'll have no problems" he explained, attempting to make her feel better.
"I don't want anyone from school" she grizzled. "Who needs a school boy when I've got you?" she winked and walked up to him flashing her cleavage provocatively.
The young man looked away so he would'ent be tempted by her again.
"You're an attractive girl Mai, I admit that but uh" "It's complicated"
Mai narrowed her purple eyes, and backed away from the blonde male completely.
"Oh I see" She scowled. "I was a pretty piece of ass you could have fun with when you were on land" "Was that it?"
"No sweetie" …."Well yeah you were but it was more than that"…….he tries to explain.
"Save it Jake" Mai spat.
She opened the door and hinted for him to leave NOW
He apologized softly and kissed her on the cheek as he walked out….slowly along the corridor and outside into the street.
She winced at his gesture and closed her eyes as walked out of her life...
I'm having the day from hell
It was all going so well
And you told me you needed space
With a kiss on the side of my face
And not to mention, the tears I shed
When I should have kicked your ass instead
I need intervention, attention, to stop temptation to scream
Baby
Everything is FD up straight from the heart
Tell me what do you do when it all falls apart?
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?
Cuz I can't turn to you when it all falls apart
Mai figured that there was no use moping around all weekend. The next evening (Saturday) she called up Joey Wheeler and the two of them hit an R16 club to dance. Jou had invited Tristan and Duke which Mai wasn't pleased about but didn't appear fazed by it. They later managed to get their hands on some alcohol thanks to Mai's charming the counter clerk, plus she looked a lot older than sixteen.
The four teens sat in Joey's room and drunk. There was nothing a little bourbon would'ent fix or a bad mood that a few shots of vodka could'ent eliminate.
Mai knew Tristan and Duke's intentions as nice as they were. They were hormone crazed teens after all and knowing that Mai was in a hopefully vulnerable state, could mean at least a kiss, especially seeing how alcoholic beverages were consumed to add to the mix. They could hope….or try it on, one of the two!
Joey may have had more genuine reasons out of concern for a friend but he would'ent have been one to turn down and offer of affection from the girl he had a huge crush on. Mai managed to awake the next morning in her own bed, she had left the guys shortly after midnight…much to Joey and the two boy's dismay...
Don't know where I parked my car
Don't know who my real friends are
I put my faith in you
What a stupid thing to do
And not to mention, I drank too much
I'm feeling hung over out of touch
I need intervention, attention, to stop temptation to scream
Baby
Everything is FD up straight from the heart
Tell me what do you do when it all falls apart?
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?
Cuz I can't turn to you when it all falls apart
Mai was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts with a loud explosion.
Seto's blue eyes had been destroyed!
The poor CEO looked as though he would crumble on his knees, but he held in his pride. Dartz laughed even harder.
"Hmm now whose soul should I take first?" Dartz asks aloud.
"I think I just answered my own question" He giggles, pointing to Kaiba…
Seto stands back. All he can do is pray now that Yami had an unexpected move up his sleeve.
"Dammit he's not wearing any sleeves", he thinks.
This was it, Seto kaiba was about to be obliterated.
Mai can't bare the thought of losing Seto. This man she barely knew, but wanted to save so badly. She was too determined not to lose again. Although the circumstances with Jake were different the outcome would be the same if she didn't do something and fast…..
Thoughts of Jake and the past come flooding back briefly………
Can it be easier? Can I just change my life?
Cuz it just seems to go wrong every time
Will I be mending, another one ending once again
Everything is FD up straight from the heart
Tell me what do you do when it all falls apart?
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?
Cuz I can't turn to you when it all falls apart
"Gotta pick myself up, cuz things are messed up"
"Everything is FD up straight from the heart
Tell me what do you do when it all falls apart?
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?
Cuz I can't turn to you when it all falls apart"
"Seto would continue fighting", she thinks. "And so will I".
Mai races toward the two duellists and pulls out her duel deck.
Dartz is taken back (just a little off course)
Seto's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.
Yami and the others frantically tell her to "STOP"
Mai is panting. Feeling a sudden rush of adrenaline she summons a card in defence mode.
Dartz rubs his chin.
"Well this is turn up for the books" he says a little intrigued.
"I bet you weren't expecting that huh?" She snarls loudly.
"I don't think anyone was" Tea calls out from behind.
"Mai get out of here" Seto warns. "It's not safe"
"No way" She replies. "Im staying" "with you".
She winks at him, leaving all fear of losing him aside.
"Very well Miss Valentine" "Since you did cause a lot of lost souls yourself" Dartz sneers.
"No you did old man" "And im here to take you out" Mai Yells back!
"Does she mean on a date?" Tristan asks…
Tea, Duke, Rebecca and Serenity look at each other, they don't even bother answering.
"And what exactly do you plan to do?" The green haired man asks.
"Good question" Kaiba remarks, focusing his attention on Mai.
"I will sacrifice my first monster in order to summon this"….she places her Harpie lady onto the field.
"Go Harpie lady" She yells…
Loud noise and dust are rampant as Mai's monster remarkably cuts Dartz life points in half.
Dartz has to cover his eyes to avoid the dust and to take the heavy unexpected blow he had just received.
Seto and Yami are impressed.
"Yah" Serenity cheers.
"Alright Mai" Duke applauds.
"Go girl" Tea yells.
"See girls can do anything" Mai replies smugly.
"Oh it's not over yet Blondie" Dartz smirks.
Mai stops. Her eyes widen…
"I am now able to activate my seal of orichalcous"
He announces.
"No", Mokuba screams.
"Mai leave now" Seto orders with caution.
"Didn't you see what I did?" Mai argues.
The green light starts to rise up around them
"Yes but Mokuba needs one of us" "I cannot leave him alone here"
Seto informs with pain in his eyes.
Mokubas big eyes that once gleamed are full of despair.
"We are not going to lose", Mai replies.
She can feel the wind blowing through her hair.
"It's too late to leave now Mai" Yami says…sadly.
Seto and Mai spin around to see themselves in cased within the seal.
Dartz rubs his hands.
"You may have deducted a few of my life points" "But I will take all of yours" "And the seal will send you all in to eternal despair"
He announces!
Mai clenches onto Seto's hand. He gives her a look of hope "For Mokuba" He mouths.
The determination he had to save his little brother and Mai was all he had left to get him through.
Yami turns his head back and looks over at Anzu.
"I love you" he yells amidst the smoke and the gale force winds…
Tea's blue eyes glisten with tears. She holds out her hand and closes her eyes. Anzu imagines Yami's warm hand touching hers.
Rebecca clings on to duke, Tristan clings on to Serenity
This was it Crunch time
Was it finally over? At long last was it Dartz time to shine?
OR did Seto and Yami have one more shot at winning this duel?
Perhaps Mai valentine would save them all…when really she just wanted to save Seto Kaiba?
Why?
TO BE CONTINUED………..
