Humor fic: How I got the Millennium Earrings
One day I was walking my shaved Golden Retriever, Orly. I was almost home when I saw something strange…
"Priceless jewelry for free! Get it while you can!" shouted a hunch-backed woman. She had a lemonade-like stand and was apparently giving priceless jewelry away for free. I walked up to her.
"Excuse me miss, why are you giving these pieces of jewelry away for free?" She cackled.
"You see, these pieces aren't even worth a penny!" Then she started reading a People Magazine. I browsed around until I came across a nice pair of earrings. It was a simple design as the Eye of Horus, an Egyptian god.
"I'll take these please." She didn't even look up from the magazine.
"Yeah whatever." I put them in my pocket. Orly started to whine.
"What's wrong baby? It's only earrings. It's not like they have a 5,000 year old spirit in them that wants to go a killing rampage while it possesses me, right?" If only I knew…
Now let's go to my house!
I was in my bathroom about to put on the earrings. When I put them on, things got freaky… A person who looked like me appeared right next to me. I personally have long black hair and bright green eyes and pale skin. She had long spiky black hair with a single strip of silver hair and bright brown and brown skin. I did a horror scream, the kind when you think you scream, but you didn't. The look-alike spoke,
"It's about damn time someone put on the earrings! YOU!" She pointed at me.
"You're my new host! Long story long, I'm your alter ego and you're my reincarnation. The name's Nailah. Look, I was a priestess at Egypt until I went to the dark side with the Tomb Robber Bakura, who's my brother. Those earrings give you the powers of shape-shifting. Not that that's said and done, here I come killing rampage!" With that, she took over my mind. In my mind, I said to her,
"You can't kill someone with my body! I'll be put under the needle! I'll never be the C.S.I. agent that I want ta be!" I started to kick her frantically while trying to get my mind back. Wait…I'm kicking her…in my mind…so I'm kicking my mind?
"What the hell's a C.S.I. agent? Now, where are the swords?"
"It's against the law to have swords without a license. And a C.S.I. agent is someone who solves crimes, like MURDER for example."
"What about knives?"
"NO! Right now I'm glad you don't know what a gun is! Uh-oh…" In my mind, Nailah smiled.
"What's a gun? Is it sharp, pointy and can it cut people up?"
"Uh…no…It's a blunt object used for…um…hitting wood!" God that was the WORST lie that I've ever told. And I'm normally a good liar. But she bought it.
"Is there anything here that I can use to go on a killing rampage?"
"NO! You are NOT using my body to pull a Jack the Ripper or any other serial killer."
"Jeez, you're no fun."
"Since it's coming from you, I take that as a compliment."
And that's how I got the Millennium Earrings!

Last time…
"Look, I know that you guys don't want them to know, but the voice said last night that we can trust them." Max tried to convince the flock. They were almost at the Kame Game Shop when Angel noticed something wrong.
"Max, the windows are broken. And the door's gone…Oh my God, those claw marks are HUGE." The flock rushed inside to see that the house was ransacked. Grandpa was on the floor, unconscious. Angel rushed to him and used her mind to wake him up.
"Ohhh…Angel. They took Yugi." The rest of the flock rushed next to Grandpa and Iggy asked,
"Who took Yugi Grandpa?"
"About a dozen of werewolves with wings! They didn't steal anything, but they just took Yugi."
"Crap." Said Nudge.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"This is bad." Said Nudge. Fang got an annoyed look on his face at Nudge's comment.
"Nah, ya THINK!" He said. Note the fine art of sarcasm in that sentence. Max shot Fang a look. That's when Iggy spoke.
"Max…do ya think it's possible that the rest of the gang was taken by Erasers?"
"I pray to someone up there that Yugi was the only one." Said Max. That's when a little boy around Gazzy's age walked in. He had long black hair and grey eyes. He looked around the place as in to soak up what he was seeing. Grandpa sat up.
"Mokuba, what are you doing here?" He asked. The boy, whose name we now know as 'Mokuba' answered with,
"Is Yugi here Mr. Moto? I need to ask him about my big brother. He didn't come home last night and he's not at Kaiba Corp." Angle spoke.
"Who's your brother, maybe we know him."
"You might know him as 'Kaiba'." If any of them had anything liquid in their mouths, they would have spat it out.
"Wait a minute…Kaiba…Mr. Serious as hell and beyond…is your, brother?" Mokuba smiled.
"Yep, can't you tell?"
"I fail to see any resemblance in looks and attitude. I would have imagined you as tall, short black hair and as serious as your brother." Max said. Mokuba decided then that it was time to get back to discussing his brother's disappearance.
"I'm really nervous guys. If Seto is gone for a while, Kaiba Corp. will tank!" That's when Mokuba put on his Bambi eyes on Max.
"Oh no…he's worse than Nudge at them. Must resist urge to look…" Max looked at his eyes.
"The urge has failed me! Ugh, fine, we'll help you. But first, let's split up and look at the rest of the gang's houses. Fang, you and Angel will stay here and look for clues. Iggy, you'll go with Gazzy to Tea's house. Nudge, can you go with Mokuba to Tristan's house. I'll go to Joey's house. Are we at an agreement?" Said Max. Everyone nodded. Max turned to Mokuba.
"Promise us that what you see while you're with us, you won't tell to anyone EVER." Mokuba said,
"Ok, my lips are sealed."

FF to a week later
"A-A-A-A-U-U-U-U-R-R-R-R-G-G-G-G-H-H-H-H!" shouted Fang.
"We've gone through all of the houses, looked for clues, revealed our secret to another non-flock member" This comment was directed at Max, "And we still can't find the gang! Not to mention, for once, the Voice decided to be silent."
"Calm down Fang. Tomorrow is another day to search. But the lie that we told Tea and Tristan's parents isn't gonna last for long. My guess it that we have around three days left before they call the cops." Said Nudge. Max sighed in frustration. Total, the dog walked over and said to Max,
"Don't worry. We'll find all of them soon. We'll find Joey." Yes, that's right, the dog can talk. This dog was once an experiment and can jump really high, maybe thirteen feet… Anyways, Max smiled at Total and rubbed his ears
"Thanks Total. Hey guys, I'm gonna hit the hay early tonight. This headache is gonna be the end of me someday."
"Ok, g'night Max." Said Nudge. Max headed up the stairs when she started to think.
"It took the School in America less than a day to give Ari his wings. By now, they've probably brain-washed them. God, if you're listening right now, please let them be safe." Max didn't even change into P.J.'s before she fell onto the bed and fell asleep.

Dream Sequence
Max was in a dark place with cages lining the walls. Max walked up to the nearest cage and saw a familiar person…
"JOEY!" Max cried. Yes, it was Joey. But it wasn't the Joey that Max had fallen for…wait…fallen for? Anyways, Joey's hair was lying limp against his head, his face was sullen and his bright brown eyes were now dull and lifeless.
"Joey, what the hell happened to you?" Max asked. Joey looked up at her and said in a weak voice,
"Max, I'm using my last bit of energy to send this message to you. The School you told me about has the gang, Kaiba and I. They've done experiments on us Max. I was blindfolded and taken here. But I saw from the bottom of the blindfold to know enough were we are. We're at Domino Pier, in a warehouse. Go to the center of the floor and there's a trap door. There's a basement there and a tunnel that leads to the lab. Please hurry Max, we can't take much more of this…" His coughed and wheezed.
"Don't worry Joey, we're all gonna get you outta here." Max turned to leave and wake up before Joey grabbed her hand through the bars of his cage.
"Max…you're a unique girl…a lot better than any other girl than I've ever met… (wheeze) I want you to know that I truly care about you Max…Now go!" His eyes closed and Max ran and woke up.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Max sat up in her bed and sprinted out of her room and practically jumped over all of the stairs. Everyone looked at her.
"I know where they are!" Max said. Total spoke first,
"How do you know?" Fang spoke next,
"Let me guess, it was The Voice?"
"Actually, no. Joey sent me a dream. They're at Domino Pier in a warehouse. Total, you had a sniff of Joey right?" Total nodded.
"I know it's been a few days, but do you think that you can sniff him out when we get there?" Max asked.
"Of course I can! I'm an experiment; my nose is stronger than any normal bloodhound!" Total's tail wagged with pride as he said this.
"Hey um, Max? Can Mokuba come with us? I mean, he's brother was also taken and he might help us somehow, you know?" Nudge asked.
"No Nudge. It's bad enough that he's already involved in all of this… Don't even give me those…" It was too late, Max had again fallen victim to the Bambi eyes.
"Goddamnit, you'd think I'd be immune to them by now. Fine Nudge. Before we stop at the pier, we'll get Mokuba." Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel cheered.

At Domino Pier
"Ok, we're here, Total, start smelling." Angel commanded the dog.
"Angel, Rodger. I mean, Rodger Angel." He said as he started to sniff all around the area.
"I still can't believe that your dog can talk." Said Mokuba. Everyone shushed him
"Hm…the scents start here," he said as he pointed with his paw.
"They probably got out of a car. Then it goes here. (sniff) (sniff) Blood was spilled here." It was then that they saw a pool that was dark red and already dried up.
"Then Ari took Joey to…(sniff) this warehouse!" He said as he pointed to a warehouse. It was warehouse number 22.
"Are you sure Total?" Max asked the dog.
"My nose doesn't lie. Wait! Someone's coming. Quick, hide!" with that, everyone hid behind different crates. The door to the warehouse opened an about a dozen Erasers came out. A plan formed in Max's head. She made a hand signal for everyone to get close enough to hear.
"Ok guys this is how it's gonna work…" she started so low that the narrator can't even hear her.
"Ok guys, Operation: get our friends back before they're brainwashed…A.K.A. Get friends back, is a go!" Said Max. Angel silently left the group and approached the Erasers.
"Hey kid this is private property!" Shouted an Eraser that will now be known as, "Jerk 1"
That's when Angel uncurled her wing.
"I knew she looked familiar! She with that bitch, Maximum Ride! She's an experiment! Shoot her!" Said another Eraser that is now known as "Jerk 2". Angel looked into the eyes of Jerk 1 and said in an eerie voice,
"You're gonna shoot your comrades now." Jerk 1 eye's glazed over and started to shoot all of the Erasers. After killing all of his comrades, he then shot himself in the head. Angel turned to Max.
"Ok, coast's clear!" They came out of their hiding places and Gazzy shape-shifted into Ari. Nudge grabbed Max, who held on to Fang, who held on to Angel, who held on to Iggy, who held on to Mokuba. Nudge then made them all invisible. They started to follow Gazzy as Ari. He put his thumb on the fingerprint scanner. A voice was heard that said,
"Welcome Ari." With that, the door slid open.
"Remember, make no noise." Whispered Max to the rest of the group. They all nodded, and followed Gazzy inside. It was an empty room.
"Ok, Joey said that in the center of the room was a trap door
"Fang, time for your x-ray vision" Whispered Nudge. He nodded and his eyes glowed red as he looked around him.
"Ok, Gazzy, take a right at the next turn and go down the first set of stairs." He said to Gazzy. He didn't nod, he just kept walking in the directions that Fang told him to go in.
"Ok, now take a left Gazzy and then a right. Ok, we're at the main computer. Nudge, Mokuba, you both know what to do." Mokuba and Nudge did evil smiles and ran to the computer, making everyone who was invisible, visible. Gazzy, still disguised as Ari followed Fangs direction to the experiments.
"Ok, now go down the hall and it's the fifth door to left, and that's where they are." Gazzy followed the directions and opened the door.
"Oh my God." Said Angel. All of the walls were covered with cages. Every cage had someone… or something in it. Max broke away from the group and Gazzy shape-shifted back to normal. Max ran looking at all of the cages shouting,
"Joey! Tea! Tristan! Yugi! Kaiba? You guys here?" A hand coming out of a cage appeared in front of her.
"Mokuba…is he with you guys?" said a familiar voice.
"He's hacking into the main computer Kaiba. But he's safe. Where's the rest of the gang?" She asked as she ran towards the cage and saw Kaiba. He was in nothing but ragged shorts. The most notable thing about him was:
"You have wings Kaiba." He smirked that Kaiba smirk of his.
"Dragon wings to be precise. Now get me outta here. I've been in this cramp place for the past three days." Fang walked up to Kaiba and using his strength, tore the door clear off the cage. Kaiba climbed out and stretched his new wings. Then he got a pissed look on his face.
"Now, these people are gonna pay for doing this to me. When I get my hands on them, I'll…I'll" He opened his mouth and fire came out of it.
"What the hell!" Shouted Fang.
"What happened?" Asked Iggy.
"Not much… Kaiba just breathed fire. Nothing out of the ordinary." Replied Gazzy.
"How did he get his powers so fast?" asked Max.
"You're powers develop in times of stress." Said The Voice.
"Ok, that's just not fair." Max thought/pouted.
"Life isn't fair Max. You should know that by now."
"Please, I don't need any wise-cracks right now. In fact, just shut up for now." And for once, the Voice was silent.
"How the hell did I do that?" asked Kaiba after he found his voice.
"Welcome to the club Kaiba, we're all freaks here." Said a sarcastic Fang as he reviled his wings. The others followed.
"So it looks like I was right again." Said a smug Kaiba.
"Yeah don't rub it in. We gotta find the rest of the gang." Said an annoyed Iggy. That's when the Flock heard a familiar voice behind them.
"Why hello guys. How long has it been?" Asked Jeb.
