Dreaming Sensation
Chapter Ten: Trials of Danger
I don't own Yugioh.
"C'mon Tristan. I guess we gotta find the rest of the gang," Joey reluctantly muttered. Somehow, everyone in the gang always get into some kind of mad twist, but luckily, this wasn't the first time this has happened. Apparently, durning monster capsule and the big five, they all were seperated and were forced to travel on their own. With much experience, this can't be a extreme problem to everyone, but hopefully, it won't be really bad enough that they can't even get out of.
"Ya… check this out. Everyone is staring at us Joey," Tristan reminded. "I think its our clothes…"
Five minutes later.
"AHHH! JOEY! HELP ME!" Tristan yelled.
"I'M IN THE SAME POSITION AS YOU ARE YOU IDIOT!" Joey hollered back. Apparently, a mob of Egyptian people were chasing Joey and Tristan, who both were instantly famous for their finely made clothes of theirs. Without knowing where they are, they errantly traveled anywhere that seemed to be a limitless route to anywhere. Hope lead their minds, wishing that no dead ends with stop their paths. So that they aren't feed by the energetic and eager hyenas.
In the great land of Egypt, you are to find the most prominent thing that Egypt is most famous for. No, it isn't the pryramids but the great deserts of Egypt. No one had ever resist or stand a chance against the power of the dire deserts that are set upon every place, every site of where you look except the living stories of heroric heros and heroines that were first told to us when we were rocked to sleep. Unfornately, Tea is going to face the desert's wrath. Will she survive?
"What will I do? This is so pressuring and scary. I-I what… what should I do? How can I even suvive in this desert? Its so hot and I might even get sunburned. This can't be happenning. This just has to be a dream! Let's see, I remember going to the tablet, landing in Egypt… I can't remember anything else. It's like I bumped into something and I instantly gotten knocked out!"
She was uncompromising and she shuffled her feet towards a random direction, with hope that she'll reach anywhere and hopefully, she'll still have enough energy to get there. She moved and moved, but under the mutitude of heat streaming directly against her, every inch of muscle that moved became more and more difficult to shift forward. She stared onto the abyss and amazingly, she saw streams of the concentrated heat existing in the air. A tree popped out of the ground, water leaked out of the sand, and tropical flowers, blue candle buds, dark evergreen bushes, and purple hibiscus grew aimlessly everywhere. Clearly, she was hallucinating, which was sadly, the picture of her visualization was misleading and deceptive. A mere trick to make her think that something is there but there really isn't.
"O my gosh! Water! Water!" She ran towards a pile of sand, taking a handful and sipping it unusually. "(coughing) Erk- ew! I can't believe I just did that! I need to get to a city fast!" As she endured to walk again, minutes pass by, fast and only a limited amount remained, yet the challenge only had just begun for the poor Tea Gardner. She strolled forward with strong and bold will through authentic fire that was only stimulated, only cold surpressed and heat remained. Gradually, her will and courage to fight dimishes. Her mind says to move forward, but her body responds for a rest, but unfortunately there isn't any shade for her sweaty body to lay upon on. She rose her head up and only saw a gust of a lot of sand. To her musfortune, a sandstorm approaches…
King of Egypt finally has awoken up from his slumber. "Ugh! Where am I?" He said waking up immediately. From the sides of his eyes were other cells with people inside of them and inside them were people he has confronted before already. Yugi Muto and Femi Hansila.
With no hesitation, he shouted out for their names. "Yugi! Femi!"
Clamoring came from an unknown room before them. Unluckily, the door was closed so no one can see. Yugi and Femi had awoken from their separate cell rooms.
"WHAT FEMI!" Yugi awoken up promptly. Yami stared blankly and blinked as he and Yugi gazed at each other. "Oh… hey Yami. I thought you were Femi because she always scares me like that when I actually go to sleep. Sorry about that Femi… Yami… YAMI! WHAT? How-how-when-did-you?" Yugi hesistated.
"Honestly, I don't even know how I got here. How did you and Femi get here?"
"I don't know either. I just remember lots of light though. So, do you have a plan of getting out of here?"
"No apparently I don't."
"I do!" Femi said excitely. "And I'm looking forward to doing it!"
Now to Aku.
"I think I better get going but… where am I!" Aku yelled. "I make friends with a boy who has a alter ego, my sister gets kidnapped by some evil, menacing person of who I don't even know of! And now I'm dressed as some queen and stuck inside a forsaken pyramid! Ugh… but I'm never going to get anywhere if I just yell at walls all day." Standing from where she stood, a sarcophagus was laid before her with inscriptions of a story written upon them. She quickly glanced at it and turned around, but when she turned to face it again, the stone coffin vanished. She moved into random rooms, each decorated with spider webs at every corner. Many dissimilar hieroglyphics were chiseled against the dry, white colored walls. The Egyptian gods stood bordered in all of the diverse chambers, staring at you eye to eye rudely, with orbs waiting, seeking for the pleasure of your praises and won't be satisfied until you do what they ask for. Myths and misfortunes about raining destruction and eternal misery, shower upon land of Egypt and maybe onto you alone if you refuse to obey to their demands; and keep up to their extent or requirements. Aku eyed them once again. It felt like they were watching her every move. A chill ran up her sphine, but she brushed it off because they were made of dusted, fragments. Ancient Statues. She pesisted her way and noticed something remarkable. All of the rooms had something common in particular. An omen of the sun, engraved above each of the doorway frames. Could this be a shine, a temple for a god that represented the sun? It was a sun surely, but a horizonal line passed through the sign, as if the line divided one half of the sun from the other half. What could it mean?
"That's weird. Why is there a sun above each room?" She still kept walking and realized the rooms grew more darker and faint. Then that's when she understood that she was walking her way downwards. The stairs came to be in a spiral, a big circle motion and at the end of the stone stairs was the path to the light. All she had to do is reach for it and she was there. To extend over the broken bridge before her and the entrance to the outside world. It was a fifty percent chance if she was able to jump over the big gap. If she succeeds, she'll be able to search more about the supernatural occurences, but if she doesn't succeed, she'll fall into the pit of her bitter demise. Below her laid darkness although light shine upon of. Debris of foggy despair and damned evil streamed everywhere. She turned around, jiggle of her gold sounded and nothing else except darkness approaching like a human being. Her eyes widen to see more darkness surrounding her as black and purple haze errantly traveled out of where Aku just came out of.
"What! What-what is that?" She turned back to looked at the entrance and the wide fissure, her two choices. "Ugh… sadly I have no other option." Her feet, sealed by her white, Egyptian designed slippers, shifted backwards. Her lead to jump was long to have a decent running start. Darkness approached closer and closer to the little girl.
"I know your there… give up… you'll never make it to the light…" A almost unaudible voice whispered.
"No! Get away from me!" Right away, her feet lifted off the floor and in a moving motion, she ran. As she drew closer to the crevice she took one last step and leapped into the air. She closed her eyes temporaily, and then openned them to see…
Meanwhile, inside of jail that imprisoned the pharoah, Yugi, and Femi. Bakura steps into the room dressed in somewhat tattered clothes. He wore a crimson robe and a white skirt followed by his most valueable item, the Millennium Puzzle.
"Hello pharaoh. Your at last awake!" Bakura says.
"Hello Bakura. I see your wearing my father's puzzle."
"Hmph."
"And I see you can't use its powers because you haven't defeated me in battle."
"Your point."
A girl's voice came from other side of the room. "Hey Bakura!"
Bakura turned and walked gradually to the owner of the sound. Femi. "Yeah? What is it you little scum!"
She smiled seductively and stretch her arms out. Yami and Yugi stared. They were both decorous as they both spotted keys attached to the theif robber.. "Ugh… I'm really tired of being in here… could you let me out for a little? Please Bakura…" Femi gently asked.
"Err…" he seemed a bit in exaperation, but he showed a little sympathy for her. "C'mon!" He reluctantly openned the door for her. What can a little girl like her do anyway.
"Thanks Bakura. You're a real man…" Yugi's and Yami's jaws dropped. As they both strolled out to the door, Femi placed her hand on his back and then slowly sliding down to his butt.
He stared and suddenly grabbed her. His hand clutched onto her arms and evily kissed her compellingly. Irritated, she grabs his keys slowly while inducing him to think she was only affectionately touching him and then throws it onto the floor in a quick motion. The clattering of the keys made quite a sound. Yugi kept watch, expressing a bit of jealously, while Yami turned away exaperated.
"Huh?" Bakura responded.
"Don't worry about that," Femi said grabbing his face, with strong disapproval, kissing him again.
Yami stretches his hands out of the cell bars and reaches for the keys. He unlocks the cell and then deligently walks to Yugi's cell and unlocks him. They walk to a door and signals Femi to hurry up.
"Hey Bakura…" she said smirking.
"What is it my love?" he smiled back and knew that the pharoah and Yugi are out of their cells.
"Until we meet again, I love you too!" She said sacastically, rapidly leaving him. He didn't chase after them and only gazed at her site, smiling as she disappears into distance.
"HAHAHAHA!" Bakura laughed raucously. "What a lame trick she did… well I love you too my dear." He says while rising up the Millennium Bracelet to his view.
"Yes! We escaped!" Yugi said cheerfully. "Now we need to find a place to get two and to find the others."
"Yes and get some help as well, but first, how will we get there?" Yami said with concern. "Although we've escaped from our first problem and now our second problem is how to get to the city."
"Wait…" Femi halted. "I see something over those mountains of sand!" Yami and Yugi alerted themselves and attempted to search what it was. Soon, the figure drew closer to the group and distinguished itself better. Surprisingly it was Tea! She was sprinting towards the group.
"RUN! RUN!" Tea bellowed.
"Huh? Is that tea?" Yugi requested.
"Yes and I think she trying to tell us to run," Yami replied.
"You guys… ah-ah… it-it-it's a SANDSTORM!" Femi said aloud.
"AHHHHH!" Tea screamed. Yugi, Yami, and Femi turned around and dashed anywhere away from the enormous, pouring sand. Godly waves of dark dirt mixed with sand flooded anywhere it passed by.
"O my! O my!" Femi whined.
"We can't outrun the sandstorm… wait!" The pharoah's eyes drew near his cloak. "Everyone! Huddle up in a small mound! As small as possible." He untied his dark velvet cloak and whipped it unfold. "Listen. The four of us individually hold down one of the four corners of this cloth. This will increase our chances of survival from this storm. Does everyone understand?" Yami directed. He sounded like a real leader, a real king, a real pharoah. In any problem he quickly solve the answer to it. It does no wonder why he is the pharoah of Egypt. Such admiration and effulgence flickered off him.
"YES!" Everyone agreed. Swiftly each of them grabbed one side and and covered themselves under the cloak. Shortly after, the sandstorm came within reach of the group. Clamoring came about and it became more challenging to hold down the dense clothing.
It's my chance! Tea thought contently and remembered about how Yami saved her from the time she got stuck inside of a ferris wheel cart. Getting an idea, she pretended to be scared and muttered quietly, clear enough for the pharoah to hear her. "Err… I'm scared…"
Hearing Tea, the pharoah responds to her call. "Just hold on tight."
She smiled secretly and wrapped her arms around her king. She cherished this moment greatly with all her heart can handle. Her heart throbbed as she still held on to the pharoah's waist. Slowly, her mind was distracted and daydreaming, as she releases the cloth she gripped on into the air where a rapid blow of sand entered into the small huddle.
Everyone coughed and were desperate for air. "Urk… Tea! Secure your place!" Yami commanded.
"I-I can't see the cloth. It just keeps slipping off my hands." Fortunately, the sandstorm ended. Everyone instantly emerged from the ground covered by sacks of golden, abundant sand. Standing up, piles of sand flew from each person.
"Good thing that storm is over," Yugi reasoned.
"Now to get to a city," Femi spoke.
"Yes," Yami replied. "Let's go."
They all traveled over a moutain of sand and walking onto the radius of where a city lies.
Meanwhile, with Aku.
Her eyes flickered as she openned them, hoping that she'll make it. Then when she had the courage to openned them widely, she lands onto the hard ground under. She scraped her knees while she landed, barely making it over. She clutched onto where her nerves signaled her where it hurts most and as she slowly took her palms off, her palms was covered in crimson.
"I can't believe I made it… this is too impossible," she said breathlessly. She rose her head into the light and carefully got up from the floor. Pain from her knees felt like a sharp needle poke through her kneecaps. She compelled herself to ignore the pain and to endure her journey towards the unknown.
Twenty minutes pass and everyone finally reunites. The group approached Egypt's only city during the past era. The pharoah's face was positioned up, like a true born leader. His dark velvet cloak flew in the penentrating air. Then after him was Yugi, his fellow follower, Femi the somwhat goody goody girl, and the last, the stand up talker and faithful friend, Tea Gardner. Finally stepping onto the hard, dry ground, they all survived against the true power of mother nature using quick cleverness and resourcefulness. As the group entered pass the walls that enclosed the city, they radianted a special glow no other than nameless and future heros to the people of the inhabitant land.
The pharoah led the gang into his city, his kingdom of which he ruled, though the fact that he doesn't have his puzzle stood behind him. Upon seeing the pharoah's presence, everyone gazes in amazement as if they haven't seen him for quite a bit and that seems to be the conclusion to such a expression from everyone's faces. When the royal diviness passed each, unintentional individual, they fall down to their knees, hiting their kneecaps onto the hard embossed buttery crust, noses near and just inches away from the covering. Yami discontinued his moving to have a minute to look at everyone's actions. They were bowing to him, pledging their hearts to the palms of his hands. His mind whirled with perplexity and misperception, circling in a constant motion that never seem to flush in no other place, compelling to continue, to proceed staying in the same place. He was frustrated a bit, but it didn't stop him. He had an incompleted task, a unfinished mission to complete, knowing that no other person, than himself, will ever accept the conditions and impediments that are still hiding behind or even beneath the black shadows, waiting for the veracious and vicious moment to draw the attack. Still, he had his friends beside him and no matter what, they'll never stray away to distraction, to a better and shorter path to living life to the fullest. Now he closed his beautiful eyes into the darkness and meditated. Thank goodess…he thought, that I've never gotten the opportunity to rest…
"PHAROAH! YUGI! FEMI!" A distant call said aloud.
"Joey? Tristan?" Yugi asked himself.
"Hey Yugi!" Joey said as he intentionally runs into Yugi, giving a noogge to him at the same time.
"Ah-hahaha… Joey!"
"HEY BUDDY! I've missed ya! Me and Joey here got ourselves a workout," Tristan says sounding a little proud.
"And a fan club!" Joey says while shifting to the side so everyone else can see a group of Egyptian people gathered around.
"JOEY! TRISTAN!" The group chanted.
"Why are they chanting your names?" Tea asked.
"Cause of our clothes! They think we're some Egyptian god and-" Joey and Tristan equally said.
"Oh yes! We all must hurry to the palace. Have you guys shown yourselves to much of this city already?" Yami asked cutting them off.
"No… we've both only ran in circles cuz we didn't wanna get caught in a dead end," Joey reasoned.
"Good. We must go to the palace immediately. Come on," Yami urged.
They all moved out to seek for the legendary palace of the pharoah's. At last after walking for a short period of time, they've found it. The palace was beautiful as the night sky fell. The stars perfected the godly look of a Egyptian theme of heaven's gates to paradise. A wonder of how the interior of the palaces kept the whole gang busy and thinking. Decorated by the left and right sides of the streets were sphinxes, in a form of a body lion with the head of Nectanebo I. Two colossal seated statues flank the entrance of the spacious temple. Torches were well lit outside of the kingdom's walls, lighting the excessive darkness.
"Wow!" Tea said with awe.
"Yea I know! You live here Yugi?" Joey asked with thrill stirring within him.
"I can't wait to get in there!" Tristan complained unusually.
"Hm?" Yami asked.
"WE'RE HUNGRY!" Both Joey and Tristan said ravenously in unison.
As the group eagerly enter beyond the giant doors that concealed the openning to inside of the magnificent building, they all witness the preprosterous and godly beauty only a handful of people can lay their eyes on. Judging by the size of the building, obviously there were many rooms and surely you may get lost if you errantly travel by yourself without a guide who'd have fimilarity of the place. Hieroglyphics were strewned all over, including the opaque embossed floors that many people step upon. Each vagrant symbol, represented a hidden message, only Egyptians can interpret, unless you yourself who like to learn the bit about the complexed language. As the group continues their journey to wherever their kingly friend may lead, they continue to praise and study the stark and enigmatic structure that immured them. Shifting their eyes, they've noticed a lot of mirrors strewned everywhere, half as much as the hieroglyphics. Why? One of the most resourceful inventions of that the Egyptians created (the mirrors) as natural lighting. When the moon reflects onto the mirror, the mirror would bounce off light to another mirror, placed in a perfect position to bounce off light to another and so on, imagining light throughout the whole construction.
The pharoah and the gang stirs through another room and into a special place. The dinning room. A big dried clay block laid in the center of the room. Medium height, enough for anyone to place their elbows on, when sitting down in an indian style way. Fire torch like carrier, existed on top center of the table and then, their attention drew to the seats, made of multi-colored pillows, each arranged in a particular position for every person.
"I can't wait to eat!" Joey blatantly said.
"Wait! Before you eat, I need you to go to your assigned rooms and change into society's clothings," the pharoah confirmed. "You must."
"Who is going to show us to our rooms pharoah?" Yugi asked blankly.
A couple of servants preceded before the pharoah and advanced towards each individual of the group. They gesticulated as they talked and lead them to their formal rooms, alongside, holding clothing of their choosing.
The night preceded along the stark sky. The vagrant stars seemed to rest onto the swarthy complexion. Vigourously, they radianted their enffugence, barely lighting up a path on Earth. A cool breeze, finally rewarded Egypt and the summer sun from reflecting its damned heat to Earth's inhabitants. Lovingly, the stars share equal powers, a small light bulb that are remoted from Earth, shine in place of the sun's madding eye's. From a distance, a girl approached night time and to the steps of the deific gods. The palace and she stared on, dubious of what is going to be her next move.
