Chapter 2: Three Perfect Little Boys. .
The lab did not stir as Solomon had been knocked unconscious as he was leaning against the black, his legs in an awkward angle. Not even the papers, glasses and liquids skewed everywhere made a sound at all. No liquids churning, no simian growls and not even the lights flickered.
Solomon slowly opened his eyes as he groaned in pain as he touched his head with his left hand, he only saw a few blur lines before his vision return to normal as he saw that he was in his lab, 'What happened?' he wondered to himself before he slowly looked toward the counter where he was mixing his ingredients and gasped at what he saw. Whatever it was, he recoiled instantly, jumping backwards, his hands grasping the desk behind him as he accidentally spun a chair aside.
He instantly forgot his pain as he stood up in a flash before he slowly walked toward the counter where he was mixing his formula. One step at a time as very single time his polished black shoes made contact with the floor, the sound echoed in the vast room. It seemed to be an hour before he traversed the room's length, though it wasn't even ten seconds.
Reaching the counter where he had been previously, he lent down, observing whatever it was that was located in front of him. His head tilted sideways in what one could only assume was genuine confusion. His mouth hung open, his eyes frozen, his surprise at the chimp's recent actions completely forgotten, a midst who was now situated on the counter.
Boys. .
For on top of the counter were three sitting boys. .
By the look of it, the boys were ten years old, the one in the middle had a blue open shirt with a light blue and white horizontally stripped t-shirt with dark faded blue jeans and black sneakers. He had white silver hair that was point downwards in various directions and trails halfway down his back, he had light brown eyes and fair skin. Around his neck was something that Solomon had heard from his trips to Egypt but it was to believe to be lost for around this boy's neck was a Millennium Ring that was on a lace. He was sitting Indian style as he was looking up at Solomon with a warm smile. .
The one that was on the right side of the silver boy had a sleeveless light purple hoodie with two gold chains on the front, black knee ripped jeans and black with purple Air Jordan shoes. He had whitish golden hair that reached his shoulders and bangs that framed his light purple narrowed eyes which was a major contrast to his dark tan skin. Tied to his belt was another Egyptian Artifact that had been believe to be lost. . A Millennium Rod. . He was sitting crossed legged with his right arm on his right leg as he was smirking at Solomon. .
The one on the left surprised Solomon the most due to his hair, the boy had an extremely extravagant hair style, he had long blond crooked pointy locks for his fringe, a set of five large spikes and two smaller spikes which was black with a magenta sheen along the edges. He was fair-skin and the most beautiful amethyst wide eyes as he was wearing a faded amethyst jacket with a black shirt that had a design of amethyst skellington eyes with a creepy smile, dark blue faded jeans with converse chuck II high tops shoes. Around his neck was another Egyptian Artifact that was believe to be lost. . A millennium Puzzle. . This boy was sitting criss-cross as he was smiling up to Solomon with such innocence. .
"Kon'nichiwa!" The sliver haired boy said with a British accent, lifting a hand in greeting as Solomon jumped back in fright, the boy could speak! Not only did he spoke but he spoke Japanese! Solomon eyes widen before he slowly relaxed, well at least he could understand them . . If the other two talk as well. . He thought as he looked at the boys who were unfazed by Solomon's strange behaviour. .
"What's your name?" The boy spoke again with his British accent as he lowered his arm while on his face was a bright smile.
"Oh, um, my name? Oh! My name is Professor Solomon Muto, hello. ." Solomon introduced himself as all three boys smiled happily at him before they jumped off the counter which Solomon jumped back in fright before relaxed as the boys were still smiling. .
"Hello Professor Solomon Muto, it's very nice to meet you." All the boy said with the same smiles on their faces before they bowed in respect toward their creator as Solomon was impressed, that they had already learn to be respectful. .
"It's very nice to meet you too. . " Solomon said, now feeling comfortable with a smile on his face toward the boys before he stood upright with a confused look on his face, "What are your names?" He asked as all three boys started to giggle. .
"Well, you created us, so shouldn't you name us?" The silver haired boy said again as both boys from the left and right looked at him with smiles on their faces. .
"Oh yeah, well let's see. . " Solomon said as he looked at the silver haired boy with a smile on his face, "Since you first spoke up and appear to be a dream come to reality, so I think I will call you Ryou." Solomon said with a big smile on his face as Ryou smiled happily at his new name as the boy of Ryou's left side started to giggle as Solomon chuckled along with him. .
"Aw, well aren't you all cute and like to laugh, I think I'll call you my little Yugi." Solomon said with his face still in a smile as Ryou and Yugi smiled at each other for their new names. .
"So we have Ryou, Yugi and . . " Solomon then looked at the last boy as he looked at Solomon with a hopeful look as Solomon came up with a great name for the strong hearten boy, "Malik because I can see that you will be a great protector for your brothers." Solomon said with a smile as Malik smiled happily at his new name as he looked at his new found brothers as they smiled back at him. .
"And together you are three perfect little . . Bo. . BA! Gifts!"Solomon suddenly said as his eyes widen as he looked up to the beaker that said Dimensional H but he wasn't even registering it as the boys were looking at him with wonder, all three were wondering what was wrong with their creator. .
"Birthday! It's your birthday! I have to go and get gifts!" He said with urgently as he hurried up the stairs as he was talking to himself while Ryou, Yugi and Malik watched in perplexity as they saw their creator leave. .
"Wow! I can't believe it! I want to create some kids that I could teach them good and bad, right and wrong, and in turn maybe they'd could do some good for this terrible, rotten town and now I can!" Solomon said happily as he walked through his house to the garage sliding door as he got in his car as his garage's doors open, "All I have to do is be a great parent." He said as he back out of the garage and zoom away from his house. .
He then return to his home an hour later, "Note to self- Good parents don't leave their kids home alone, they could get hurt or something might happen." He muttered to himself as he parked his car in the garage as he got out and hurried and piled up presents that were wrapped in blue, purple and amethyst colored wrapping paper. He pile the present till it reached above his head before he quickly closed the car door with his leg and hurried inside his house.
"Sugar, Spice and a Book of Nice words, who would have guessed that's what little boys are actually made of?!" Solomon said happily to himself as he was about to walk down the steps with the pile of presents, "I still can't believe that it actually worked! I actually made three perfect little boys, three perfect, normal little bo- AAH!"
He slipped on his way down the steps to the basement as the presents went askew when suddenly he felt himself floating in the air as well as the presents. He looked down to see that nothing was holding him or the presents when he heard giggling as he looked around and gasped in complete shock at seeing Ryou's Millennium Ring was glowing a golden glow as his eyes were flashing golden as he had his hand slightly up in the air. .
"Got you Professor!" He laughed with a smile on his face before he slowly start to lower his hand and Solomon felt himself and the present lowered safety down till his feet touched the ground as the present made a soft thud as it hit the ground as well. Solomon looked at Ryou, astonished at what just occur. .
"Professor, you should be more careful when you are coming down the steps." Ryou said with a smile on his face as his eyes return back to normal.
"Yeah, you could get hurt!" A voice said out of nowhere but Solomon knew that voice as he looked around for Yugi who was hiding somewhere. .
"Yugi? Where are you?" He asked as in a bright flash Yugi appeared with a big smile on his face as his eyes too flashed a bright golden glow before they return back to their normal amethyst colored eyes. .
"Right here!" Yugi said as he giggled as if it was all a game before he lifted his feet and suddenly he was floating as Solomon's jaw went slacked as his eyes widen with shock. .
Suddenly Malik and Ryou floated toward Solomon each holding a purple and blue gifts, "Hey are these for us?!" Malik asked, he was excited for opening gifts as Solomon, who was still slack-jawed simply nodded almost like a robot. .
"Come on guys!" Ryou yelled happily as Solomon watched in stunned silence as two rings of light formed around Ryou, Yugi and Malik as they touched their millennium artifacts. .
Two whitish blue rings formed around Ryou changing him, his once long hair suddenly became shorter as if he had cut it as it now reached his ears while his eyes had rings of blue around his brown iris as in a flash on his forehead was the marking of the Eye of Ra as his clothing changed. He had on a small blue jacket with no sleeves, while on the back was the the Symbol of Sesen while he wore a light blue and black striped horizontally shirt as on his right breast was a lotus flower, he was wearing a bracelet on his right wrist as he had faded black jeans with dark blue checker sneakers.
Solomon then turn to look at Malik as two whitish purple rings formed around him, changing him as well, his once whitish golden hair became a golden color as if he was wearing a halo while it stayed his shoulder length, while his eyes had a tint of a darker shade of purple around his purple iris as in a flash on his right cheek was a small marking of the Eye of Ra. He had a small earring of the Ring of Shen on his right ear as he wore a black finger-less gloves with two black and golden bracelets on both his wrists. He a small black sleeveless jacket and wore a light purple and black striped horizontally shirt as he wore faded black jeans with black sneakers. .
Solomon then looked at Yugi as two whitish amethyst rings formed around him, changing him much like his brothers. His hair was pretty much left alone expect his once crooked blond fringe was clipped back by a hair clip that look closely like the Ankh, his eyes had rings of blood red around his amethyst iris as in a flash on his left cheek was a small marking of the Eye of Ra. He wore a left bracelet with a choker necklace that held the Ankh Symbol while he wore finger-less red and black striped gloves. He wore a small red sleeveless jacket with the symbol of Ankh on the back as he wore an amethyst and black striped horizontally shirt as he wore faded black jeans with black air high tops. .
"Oh right!" Malik yelled happily as he flew in super speed toward his stack of presents.
"Yippee!" Yugi cheered as he followed his brother toward his stack of presents. .
"Thanks, Professor!" Ryou thanked as he too followed his brothers as Solomon raised his left hand as if he wanted to say something but it falls to his side as he slumped to the floor on his knees in total shock as he watch Ryou, Yugi and Malik in their new forms as they were flying around the presents. They were tearing the paper in such super speed as they were laughing and giggling to themselves. .
Ripping noises could only be heard as well as the laughter of three perfect little boys, Solomon looks at them with shock before he looked toward the mixing pot till he saw the broken beaker of Dimensional H. . That's when it hit him. .
'Dimensional H. . That chemical must have gave my perfect little boys their super powers. . All three of them have great strength, speed, flight and a unique power for each. . Ryou had the power of telekinesis, Yugi had invisibility and Malik. .' Solomon stopped his thinking when he saw Malik went through the floor with only his head visible as he laughed before he floated up to continue to rip his gifts. .
'Aah, Malik has the ability to walk through solid objects. .' Solomon's thinking stopped when Malik flew toward him with a smile on his face, "Hey thanks!" He said as he had a lion's share of games, toys and a scooter as he flies off in super speed.
Ryou came next after Malik with a stack of books from Egypt and a model of Earth, "Yes, Professor, thank you!" He said as he flew after Malik with a happy smile on his face. .
Yugi came with a stuffed toy that resemble the Great Egyptian God Ra, "This is the best gift ever. . Dad. ." Yugi said with happiness in his voice before he hugged Solomon and floated holding his stuffed toy of Ra as Solomon's face melted into an expression of pure joy, tears were filling his eyes, 'I'm a dad. .' He silently thought. .
"Yes, it is. . " Solomon said softly as he smiled toward his boys as Ryou, Yugi and Malik were flying in circles happily above him. Although they were unlike the normal people and may have powers, Solomon heart leap with joy for his new sons but unknown to them something or someone from the darkness was watching them. . Someone sinister. . .
In the morning, Solomon, Ryou, Yugi and Malik were in an unadorned room as the floor was covered with newspaper and had bucket filled with Green, Red, Blue Yellow and Black paint, Ryou, Yugi and Malik were still in their other forms as they were floating while Solomon holds a blue paint brush in his left hand, instructing his boys behind him. He was going to design his boys room walls like an Egyptian sun set. . He only hope he could do it. .
"Okay boys, now watch me." Solomon instructed as he started to paint the wall but Ryou, Yugi and Malik quickly outdo him, covering the four walls in mere seconds with beautiful art work of Ancient Egypt, they made the God of the Sun Ra, as he was sitting in his Mandjet, as he was in the sky as below was pyramids and camels. The boys smiled at their handy work before gasped when Solomon step out from where he was standing, covered in blue paint from the sky His figure outlined in white where he was standing. . He stared at Ryou, Yugi and Malik with a shocked look in his face before he smiled. .
"I think you missed a spot." Solomon joked as he painted his face while Ryou, Yugi and Malik all giggled and laughed. .
"I'll go and wash up, then we just have to bring in the furniture." Solomon said with a chuckle before he walk to the bathroom to wash the paint off him. The boys quickly painted the white space where Solomon's figure use to be as Solomon was done washing off the paint as he was washing his hands when he heard noises, realizing that the boys were starting without him, he was drying off his face as he walked out of the bathroom. .
"Boys wait, you should let me-" Solomon stopped as he saw Ryou's eyes flashed as he merely lifted his hand as some furniture flew into their room as Malik merely threw some of the heavily furniture toward Yugi who in turn used his super speed to place and organize the furniture in their new room. .
". . help?" Solomon finished as he dropped his arms in shock yet again before he walk to the room and was impressed to see the furniture was already laid out perfectly. . There was a book case full of books that seemed to be organized alphabetic, while in the middle of the floor was a small rug as in the corner of the room was a already made triple bunk size beds, the design had two staircases filled with drawers and two cabinets with five drawers on the front. Beside the first bunk bed was a drawer with a small lamp while in the left corner was a small table filled with coloring pages, games, and toys. The boys had their own walk in closet as they already placed their clothing in. .
"Whoa! This looks pretty good!" Solomon congratulate the boys as he saw the room with an impressed look on his face, "What do you think?" He asked.
Ryou, Yugi and Malik were floating in midair as Yugi had a trouble face while Malik was smirking and Ryou was smiling at Solomon, "Mm, I thin it's a little dark." Yugi said with a sad face on.
Malik glared at his brother, "Well, I like it dark." He said stubbornly as he closed his eyes and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Some windows might be nice!" Ryou suggested with a smile, as Malik glared toward Ryou while Yugi nodded happily.
"Yeah, I could see some windows. . Right about. . Here!" Solomon said as he placed his hands on a wall they can use without destroying the master piece of art that his boys did, "I'll call a contractor tomor-"
He didn't finished as he turn to see Ryou's eyes glowed light blue, Yugi's glowed amethyst and Malik's was light purple, they shot eye beams lasers out of their eyes. Outside Solomon's home, three set of beams cut out perfect circles in the previously windowless middle section, the wall pieces fell out and fell to the front lawn. Ryou, Yugi and Malik smiled at their work while Solomon was hunched over, he was a little scorched from the blast. .
He chuckled nervously, "Or, that works too. . But we still need-"
"No need!" Ryou said with a smile before he looked at his brothers with a smile, "Ready guys?!" He asked as Yugi and Malik nodded before each one went to their windows, Ryou went first and shot eye beam at the window hole and Solomon watched amazed at seeing an ice window formed as Ryou opened his window with a smile.
Yugi was next as he used his super speed to get all the newspapers from the house before return and paste them to the window, Solomon was confused before he saw Yugi close his eyes before he lifted his hand and waved it up and down and Solomon was amazed yet again as the paper soon melt away and it form a beautiful glass window as Yugi smiled happily when he was done as he too opened his window with a smile. .
Malik did the same as Yugi, only this time he was using rocks, he grabbed each small pebble, rock and stone before he stacked them together, Solomon watched wondering what Malik was going to do as Malik stacked the stones till they formed the window, Malik stood back before he did a hand movement as his marking of the Eye of Ra began to glow and Solomon watched once again in amazement at seeing the rocks suddenly became see through but you could see the outlines of the rocks almost like a stain glass window. .
Malik smirked before he opened his window as well as they turn to look at their creator with huge smiles and Solomon looked at them before clapped away his amazement, "Who's hungry?" He asked as the boys all cheered for they were starving. .
Everyone was in the kitchen as Ryou was still in his other form while he was floating, "Ready?" He asked as he was holding a bag of slices of bread with a smirk on his face. .
"Ready!" Malik and Yugi said while they both held smirks on their faces as both were holding spoons in one hand while the other held jars of peanut butter and strawberry jam.
"GO!" Ryou commanded as he flings the slices of bread toward Yugi and Malik who in turn both sling slabs of peanut butter and strawberry jam at the flying bakery. Solomon was at the refrigerator as he turns around before he quickly ducked from the attack of the food war. Each element met each other perfectly together as a neat and heaping stack of PBJ's landed neatly onto a plate on the kitchen table as the boys flew to their seats.
Each boy eye beamed the sandwich from top to the bottom as the crust was cut off neatly as they smiled at their handy work. Solomon walked into the scene with a tray of milk and four glasses, he was covered from head to toe in the sandwiches' contents. The boys gave a silent gasps as they covered their mouths with their hands in shock but Solomon simply puts the tray of milk on the table as he smiled at them before all four of them began to laugh and giggle. .
The day soon past to the night, Solomon was walking to the living room, drying off his hands from washing dishes from their dinner, "Okay, boys. Time for. . " He stopped when he saw the scene in front of him. .
The living room was in a compete mess but his boys were back in their normal forms as they were all asleep. Ryou lies sleeping over an open book while there was a pile of books behind him and a couple of books were open next to him, Malik was fast asleep with his mouth wide open as he was on the couch on a pillow with the TV remote in his right hand as beside him were some toys. Little Yugi was sleeping in a nestled form as he was near several sheets of paper with crayons, colored pencils and paints, his stuffed Ra toy was beside him. .
"Bed. . " Solomon finished as he tilt his head with a tender smile on his face as he looked at his boys who were fast asleep, tired from their hard day of work. He knew that he would have to make triple work to put his boys to bed but he didn't want to wake his boys. He smiled as he picked up Ryou, Malik and Yugi in his arms as he carried them to the bathroom where he washed their faces with a rag, which surprised Solomon as they didn't even wake up. .
He placed Ryou's two piece pajamas, which was a black sweater with the words in blue bold words 'All Together for the Holidays.' while he wore black and blue plaid pants on as he gently placed Ryou on the top bed of the triple bunk bed as he tucked him in with a smile on his face.
Solomon then placed Malik's two piece pajamas, which was a green Frankenstein face as he was smiling goofy as his pants were black with white outlines of bones on then he placed Malik on the middle bunk bed as he tuck him in as he did with Ryou.
Solomon then placed Yugi's two piece pajamas which was a gray fox's face on the bottom of his sweater while he wore white pants with little foxes and trees around his pajamas then he placed Yugi on the last bed as he tucked him and placed his stuffed Ra toy in his arms. He smiled as Yugi held his toy in his arms as he had a small smile on his face.
Solomon smiled as he walked toward the door as he turned off the light and closed the door behind him, he return back downstairs to attend the mess the boys had made, he started to pick up some books that Ryou had left opened when he picked a piece of paper, he looked at it before he smiled proudly and happily. It was a accurate and nicely drawn picture of Solomon while Ryou was on the left side of him as Yugi was on the right side and Malik was on Solomon's shoulders. . They were all smiling happily, Solomon was impressed by the art work as he smiled more proudly when he saw it was drawn by none other then little Yugi as he signed it with his cursive writing. .
"It's great having kids. . " Solomon said happily as he continue to pick up the mess and clean up before he too went to bed. .
