Chapter 3: A Game of Tag
The sun rose over the horizon hopefully, the light shining into the boys' bedroom as Solomon approached. He noticed how at peace they seemed, soundly asleep, not aware of how dark the world was out there, "Wake up boys! Time for school." He said happily as he went to pick out the boys regular clothing as the boys were confused.
"What's school?" Ryou, Malik and Yugi asked in unison, they were wondering what this 'school' was. Solomon chuckled.
"Well if you don't get dressed then you won't find out now will you?" Solomon said with a smile as the boys hurried and changed their clothing before they hurried to eat breakfast and were in Solomon's car as they were buckled up as they were in amazement toward the buildings of home as they past the buildings. Suddenly the car stopped in front of a building that said Domino Elementary School, Solomon got out of the car as Ryou, Yugi and Malik followed him. .
Solomon smiled at his boys as he gently knocked on the door as the door opened to reveal a young woman with brown shoulder-length hair which was sectioned into layers, a darker and light shade of brown. She had pretty ocean blue eyes and fair skin. She was wearing a yellow shirt with flow like a skirt at her thighs, a pink waistcoat and a blue skirt that reached her knees and black tapping shoes.
She smiled at seeing new students, She crouched down as Malik and Ryou were confused to seeing this lady as Yugi was hiding behind Solomon's left leg in fear.
"Hello, Welcome to school, I'm your teacher Miss Gardner, and this is where kids come to learn. See?" She said as she pointed to inside the room where several student were playing with each other, or playing with hand held video games and cards or were just talking to each other on their desk.
Suddenly a little boy came running toward Ryou, Yugi and Malik with a smile on his face, "Hey! You wanna play?" He asked as the boys looked uncertain for a moment at the boy before looked at Miss Gardner for approval who smiled and nodded as their faces light up with joy. They laughed and giggled as they ran with the boy toward the class room. .
Solomon watched as his sons ran inside and was nervous as Miss Gardner looked at him with a smile, "Umm, do you think they'll be okay? Because I'm new to this parenting thing, I want to come and meet you and see them off on their first day because, they're really special. I mean . . Really special. "Solomon hinted for Miss Gardner to watch them as he continue, "I just want to make sure they'll be okay. . so what do you think? Do you think they'll be okay?" He asked a little worried.
Miss Gardner chuckled, she seen this many times, parents worried for their children's first day more than the child. She and Solomon looked toward the boys to see Ryou was chatting away with two kids about a book, Malik was playing a hand-held game with two kids as Yugi was happily drawing with two kids on a pieces of paper. .
"They'll be just fine, Professor." Miss Gardner said with a smile, "We'll see you at noon." She added as Solomon nodded before he started to wave bye to his boys as Miss Gardner gently pushes him out the door as he looks back nervously at his sons as Miss Gardner closed the door softly before she turn back to classroom.. .
"Okay class, take your seats." Miss Gardner said with a smile as cue, the kids started to go to their desks as Ryou walked toward his brothers with a book on his hand.
"Miss Gardner! Can Ryou sit with us?" A little boy said with a smile as he raised his hand, Ryou was surprise but he turn to see it was a boy that he was having a conversation about Ancient Egypt as well a girl with a stack of books beside them.
Yugi was about look for Malik when he felt himself being dragged, he look and was surprise to see a boy was pulling him with a huge smile on his face toward a table were another boy was siting, each had a piece of paper and art supplies, "Can we sit with Yugi?" He said to Miss Gardner as Yugi was smiling happily.
A boy then pointed to his desk as he pointed to Malik, "Can Malik sit over here?" He asked as Malik who was playing a hand-held game when he heard his name was surprise but he smiled, he was likes just like his brothers.
Miss Gardner chuckles as she gently push all three boys in a middle table , "The boys can sit right in the middle, so they'll be next to everyone." She said as all the kids cheered as Ryou, Yugi and Malik smiled happily.
Miss Gardner then walked up to the chalkboard, "Now, let's begin." She said as she picked up a piece of chalk and began writing on the board, ready to begin that day's worth of lessons.. .
As the hours passed, the sun moved a little so the shadow on the clock shone further. Finally, at twelve, the shadow was twice as far north as it had been at nine o'clock. Just as the minute hand hit twelve, a knock resonated from the classroom's front door.
Solomon opened the door as he smiled at Miss Gardner, "Oh, hello Professor, right on time. Your boys are right outside with the other children."
Solomon walked in the room an saw the mess and became distraught, thinking it was his boys that did the mess, "Oh, no, look at this mess! Oh I knew that the boys would be a handful but . .I'm so sorry." He said as Miss Gardner chuckled.
"What this? This is what happens where you put 20 kids in one little room. Your boys were perfect, perfect, normal, well-behaved boys." Miss Gardner said happily as she led Solomon outside to where the kids were playing.
"Nothing out of the ordinary?" Solomon asked a little surprised.
"No, like what?" Miss Gardner asked.
While they were talking, over by the hopscotch made out of chalk, the three boys and another girl were heavily engaged. Yugi steadied his arm and flung a piece of chalk onto the second square from him. He then hopped into the first one and straight into the second, no powers used at all. Ryou and the girl were cheering for him.
"That was sweet!" Ryou said happily as Malik had his arms on his hips in confused stance but with a glare on his face.
"What's the point of this game, anyway?!" He asked as Yugi stuck his tongue at his brother with his eyes closed and his arms folded in front of his chest.
Suddenly a boy came tip toeing to the girl before he pushed her, "Tag! You're it!" He said laughing as he ran while the girl giggled and ran to tag someone else as Ryou, Yugi and Malik were confused to what just happened.
The kids all ran in a circular pattern from the girl as the boys stood there a little confused, "Whoa! Everyone's running from that girl! It's like she's been infected." Ryou said as he pointed to the girl.
"Maybe she's a freak." Malik said with a glare toward the girl.
"Yeah, and they hate her!" Yugi said innocently before eeped when a girl touched his hand with a smile on her face.
"Tag! You're it!" She said happily.
"Oh, no! I've been infected!" He cried as the girl looked confused while Ryou and Malik looked worried as a boy came walking to see what was going on.
"All right, what's going on here?" The boy asked as he walked toward them as Yugi looked at him with tears in his eyes.
"I've been infected." He whimpered as the boy groaned and smacked his head.
"You're not in-fec-ted! It's just a game!" He said as Yugi stopped crying as he was confused along with his brothers.
"It is?" He asked.
"Yeah!" The boy said with a smirk.
"A Game? Neat!" Ryou cheered as Malik looked at the boy with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, how do we play?" Malik asked as the boy sighed before smacked his head at the stupid boys before smirked.
"Okay, look, it's very simple. Yugi, tag me." He said as he outstretches his arm to Yugi who look very hesitant at the outstretched hand. .
"Come on, it's okay!" The boy said with a smirk. .
Yugi very slowly reached forward and pokes the boy before quickly withdraws his hand as the boy smirked again.
"Alright, now I'm it." The boy said loudly as he raised his hand in the air as he walked beside Malik, "And all you got to to do to play is tag someone else and they're it." He explained before he tagged Malik, he then ran as Malik looked up with a shocked look on his face as the boy yelled back.
"By the way, you're it!" He laughed as he ran, Malik was excited.
"Awesome! I'm it! What do I do?! What do I do? What do I do?! He said excitingly shaking his arms with a smirk on his face.
"Just tag someone else, and their it!" The boy yelled out as he was running away, the kids all were watching Malik.
Malik watches him run a little uncertain before he smirk as he side glance at Ryou and Yugi as both his brothers looked at each other before they started to run with smiles on their faces. Malik smiled before he started to chase his brothers, at first the boys started out slowly as Ryou and Yugi giggle and laughed as they ran, Malik smiled as he was catching up toward his brothers, despite running without powers like them. In fact, he wasn't putting in any huge strain at all. . .
Looking back Ryou saw that Malik was catching up to them, "Time to put it into overdrive, Yugi!" Ryou said with a smirk.
Ryou and Yugi ran even faster passing the adults and students, Malik saw this and ran faster like his brothers with a smirk on his face. Seeing that Ryou and Yugi increased their speed with smiles on their faces. Malik glared as he stuck out his tongue and ran faster as his brothers, Ryou and Yugi smirked before they increased their speed almost like their where like a blur as they ran. Malik glared angrily before he used all his power to increase his speed and suddenly he was running forward in super fast speed with a beam of light purple flashed behind before it disappeared as a streak of fire was in his wake.
Smirking Malik was near them, "Tag! You're IT!" He yelled with his eyes closed as he pushed Yugi as hard as he could, Yugi was pushed so hard that he went out of control as he crashes into the school leaving a hole like crack in the pavement of the playground. The audience were in a state of shock as it was quiet for a second before Yugi came bursting out of the roof in his other form with a beam of amethyst as he went feet jackknifing downwards as he falls.
"I'm gonna tag you guys now!" He yelled happily as he flew fast speed downwards, Malik and Ryou were standing next to each other before they quickly changed form like Yugi and quickly blast beamed through the schoolyard fence.
Yugi missed them and slammed into the pavement, it created a dust cloud and a large crater, Yugi slowly come out of hole looking a little confused to where his brothers were when he heard Malik's cocky laugh.
"Ha ha! You missed us!" Yugi turn to see his brothers a few feet away from him as he stood there pensively for a moment before quickly smashes them into a house across the street. .
"Ha Ha! Tag! You're it!" Yugi giggled/yelled as he flew away with Malik as they burst through some trees as the fell while Ryou followed them.
"No! No, I'm not! Ha ha! Tag! You're it!" Ryou laughed as he tagged Malik who only laughed while trees and cars were thrown in the air. .
"Tag!" Malik laughed, not only was another tree flung up into the air only to fall back down again, the same happened to a car. It must have exploded when it landed, for smoke and a fire flared up way in the distance.
"Missed me!" Yugi laughed, just as cow, with its trademark cry, soared up and back down out of sight.
"No, you're it!" Ryou yelled while Malik only laughed as it was followed by more of the signature zoom sounds that accompanied their light trails, although nothing could be seen from here. .
While Ryou, Yugi and Malik continue to play their game with the results devastating, the students were in a state of shock of what just happen as Miss Gardner stares blankly at what just transpired, Solomon smiled sheepishly before he took this convenient opportunity to leave unnoticed through the quite-ample new doorway. .
Solomon hurried to his car as he followed his boys, Solomon's car, it's driver piloting it, zoomed down the road as fast as it could go, it's license plate PRFDADY gleaming against the sun on the horizon.. .
"Whee!" Yugi said as Malik laughed while both were flying at super speed, rushing toward the city and over a sign that said, 'You are now leaving Domino City', with a perfect photo of the city's skyscrapers. A few seconds later Ryou just bursts right through the sing as he was laughing.
"Guys! No, wait!" Solomon called from his car as he was trying to catch up to them. .
Near a high level of a high building, one could see two streaks of light, one purple, one amethyst zooming out from the outskirts. Suddenly, Malik and Yugi flew around the building's corner. Right behind them was the light blue streak that was Ryou though he took the liberty of going around the building the other way, thereby gaining a lead on them. His hair blew backwards as he zoomed around a block, flying lower but gaining speed, determination on his face.
Zooming right behind his brothers towards a T-junction, they suddenly shot right, and he followed suit. The two runners zipped around a fountain on a crossroads and off, Ryou right behind them. Their light streaks moved like they were highly-rendered pixels, a series of blocky movements whilst streaming left. Their next zoom consisted of a U-turn around a big building that swept a lonesome car up into their air-drift. Indeed, the vacuum was so powerful that it dragged all manners of debris alongside the car, from paper sheets to garbage, cones, post-boxes, cellphones and even a few computers. Just as the air suction moved off, a red ball bounced down at its rear.
Finally, as Ryou was really gaining some distance, Malik and Yugi veered left and right respectively. Ryou gasped. Losing altitude, he dug his feet into the ground, creating sparks as the tarmac was ripped. He slowly grinded to a halt at the very end of the T-junction. Two adjacent colored onlookers, one male and one female, jumped slightly upon seeing Ryou finally stop.
Ryou went quiet as he used his super hearing to hear Malik laughing cocky and Yugi's voice that said 'can't catch me'.
He then growled as he paused momentarily looks left, then right, then left again, stopping at right. Crossing his eyes, he finally zooms out of the scene, leaving the onlookers bewildered. However, they soon screamed and fled, as a grinding noise approached. With an almighty CRASH, the windswept car smashed straight into the building, right next to initials that read "801." Building cement was scattered as it folded clean in two, although only person saw this.
Solomon came driving to a halt as he saw the damage, his face was twisted in worried, "Oh, no!" He said worriedly, he knew what they are doing as a small red ball bounced off his car and bounced away. . .
Now running on the ground, Ryou zoomed down so fast that his arms were half-folded in, turning right, left, right, all the while a focused grin plastered on his face. As he ran, the path on the road behind his cracked up into a glowing orange, with it afterwards breaking up, leaving a path cut into the road. He was now a light blue blur, leaving a path of debris in his wake that zigzagged rather like a zebra's stripes.
Malik was flying with a smirk on his face as he just passed Ryou on the straightaway, Ryou turn back, he followed after Malik's trail, . .On a busy road, inside a black van, a tall, young, long-haired male driver and his companion, a shorter, fatter black-haired fellow, were at ease. Until the two boys zoomed past them into busy traffic! Crying out in shocked voices, the driver skidded left, smashing right into a music store windowpane, with various glass fragments scattered everywhere. This went unnoticed by Ryou who shot between and around several cars, breaking some. Looking back behind him, he admired his handiwork, but gasped again upon seeing a huge traffic jam that he was approaching fast! Winding through a gap, he scaled a few feet up the building at the side, now smashing glass instead of tarmac. As he shot down the street at a sideways angle, the glass fell behind his in a trail.
"Whee!" Yugi giggled as he flew in a ballerina form, Ryou sees Yugi flying by in the opposite direction as he said huh before he return to the ground. He briefly stops at a street corner at the stop light, when it turn green returning alternately to the building and ground. . Now on Yugi's tracks , he pursues the unseen Yugi down several more streets as Ryou was smiling. .
Suddenly something caught his attention and he stops, looking upward with a gasp, he smiled. For on top of a building was a large glass dome ball, his pupils in his eyes zoomed to the glass dome as he saw Yugi's amethyst's beam's light trail in the reflective surfaces. He saw Yugi passed by some buildings before he started to calculate Yugi's location with a smirk.
"Subway, huh?" Ryou said, seeing where Yugi was going to be, his eyes went back to normal. He quickly went to the nearest subway entrance and he darts down the tunnel in a spiral fashion as he was laughing, leaving behind his customary trail. .
"Whee!" Yugi stilled fly as he was giggling, he didn't need any direction, Ryou exits the subway with his arms on his hips as he stood confidently at the exit with a smirk.
"OH! Yugi gasped in shock as he was suddenly aware that he might be tagged, he quickly hit the pavement, grinding to a complete halt mere inches from Ryou who gently touched his arm with a smile.
"Tag! You're it." Ryou said cocky as he began to fly away slowly toward Malik as he blows a raspberry at Yugi. Yugi looked confused for a bit before he glared and burst upward at high velocity which result in leaving a massive crater behind him as the debris hits several buildings and narrowly misses Solomon's car. .
He gasped when he saw his boys, "There they go- WHOA!" He yelled as he runs into the carter as his car did a complete front flip with a perfect landing as he grasped his chest in shock as the small red ball from earlier bounces off his car. .
"Watch out! Here he come!" Ryou yelled toward Malik as Yugi came for them but he narrowly missed Ryou and Malik who all laughed as he backpedals by pushing off the glass globe. The impact shattered the narrow base as the sphere rolls off the building top. .
As pedestrians screamed in horror as they ran, the globe smashes into the street way and starts to roll downwards, the surrounding mirrored in it's surface. It hits a building at a street corner and turns onto another road, smashing stores left and right as it bumps back and forth down the street. Ryou and Malik were still fleeing from Yugi.
Yugi was jumping while using the buildings tops as he chased after his brothers, the globe rolled past a traffic jam as Ryou and Malik flew above it, Yugi jumped down from the building and the force of the impact actually causes the road to curl upwards. It sends cars hurling upwards as the wave of asphalt hits them. .
In the mist of all this, Malik managed to make a right turn and hid behind a corner building, he poke his head out before he smirked and laughed for giving his brothers the slip.
He walked out and stands on the road with a smirk, "Ha ha! Suckers!" He said with a smirk when suddenly the road wave reached Malik, sending him upward in a spinning vertical barely missing a car as he had a blank expression his face as if wondering what the heck just happen.
"Tag, you're it!" Yugi laughed as he zooms up to Malik and tags him just at the height of his climb as Ryou joined his brothers with a smile on his face..
The scene changes to a rather swank looking home high above the city, where a man was trying to wooing a woman who was rolling her eyes, "You know, I've got a nice car. ." The man said to her as a car was hurling toward the room's full wall windows. .
SMASH!
Solomon looked upward at the high story impact and cringe at the damages as glass rains down on his car, he then looked up and breathed in relief at seeing his boys who were all high in the air in a circle. .
It look like Malik was arguing with his brothers but Yugi and Ryou all giggled before they flew off.
"Hey!" Malik snapped as he flies after his brothers in anger. .
Just when Malik was about to get his brothers, Ryou and Yugi flew as they went left and right through a post-modern style building. Malik came to a stop and was looking right and left before he screamed in anger at losing his brothers.
"THAT'S IT!" He yelled as he was tired of playing around, he smashed a beeline right though the building before he smirk as he smashed through the other buildings. Ryou and Yugi were standing atop a Seattle Space Needle lookalike. However, Malik was closing in, smashing through three more buildings.
"He'll never find us up here!" Ryou said happily as Yugi nodded happily. .
Malik smashes through several more buildings in a fury of anger, in search of his brothers. .
"Do you hear something?" Yugi asked as they got quiet to hear what that noise was. .
Malik crashed through a sign labeled "gas" atop a gasoline station with a smirk on his face. The resulting explosion resulted in a massive fireball which trailed Malik as he closed in on the giant needle.
"Whoa! RUN!" Ryou yelled as he and Yugi was running on the building that seem to be a hamster wheel as the boys 'ran' Malik zoom behind them and taps them bot hon the shoulder with his eyes closed and a smirk on his face.
"Tag! You're both it!" He yelled out triumphant.
"HEY!" Ryou yelled as he flew up with Yugi following him, "We can't both be it!" He said angrily as Yugi and Malik looked at him as Malik had a frown on his face.
"Why not?!" Malik snapped as Yugi merely tapped Ryou.
"Tag!" He said hoping to end the argument but Ryou eyes turn angrily toward Yugi as Malik was smirking.
"What?! I can't be IT twice!" He yelled angrily as Malik and Yugi were confused.
"Why not?" Yugi asked as Ryou then smirked as he closed his eyes.
"Okay then, Tag! Now you guys are it!" He said cocky as he tagged Malik and Yugi who eyes widen with surprise..
"Tag!" Malik said as he tagged Yugi who only smirk.
"Tags!" Yugi said happily as he tagged both Ryou and Malik who's eyes widen. .
"Hey, no tag back!" Malik shouted angrily before he tags Ryou, "Tag!"
"Tag! Tag! Tag!" The boys started to tag each other as they circle each other as they had their eyes closed.
Solomon turns a corner before he made his car came to a screeches halt, he look up to a good view of the boys . . from a giant hole through several buildings. . He cringed. .
As smoke drifted from the fire blazing atop the gas station, the boys trails moved rapid fast around the city, their giggles and laughter puncturing the air that only provided a view to the numerous holes in buildings, smashed property lines, littered debris everywhere and other numerous forms of destruction.
And one person was watching this. Through the window into Domino City Hall's main office, a large room with exquisite decor, a short woman with blond hair pulled back in pig tails, a black top hat. Her attention was completely held by the actions the boys were doing all over the city. Although we couldn't see her face, her posture showed that he meant serious business.
The woman throws throws open a set of large double doors, her now-visible face revealed a pair of blue framed glasses, a small badge was on her polo shirt that said 'Mayor' she walks professionally across the red-carpeted floor as she continues to chant to herself. .
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. ." She scuttled her feet down the red carpet, her fists clenched.
Ryou, Yugi and Malik were flying as they were laughing and giggling, Solomon was driving tying to find his boys as it shows the Mayor as she walks down a long room with tall windows and pillars, still muttering to herself, then it shows the boys with Ryou and Yugi's eyes close as Malik were laughing, Solomon drove to the left to avoid destroy cars and craters in the roads as he drove. .
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!" The Mayor said, as she opened double doors and came out onto indoor steps leading down onto the major atrium as another woman joined her.
She was wearing a light purple dress with a black tie walked toward the mayor, executing a perfect quick place in 3-inch purple heel heeled boots. She had dark purple eyes and blond hair, her name was Mai Valentine. She matches the mayor's professional walk as they head down a large flight of stairs.
"Oh boy is right, Mayor Hawkins." Ms. Valentine said as she was walking beside the mayor, "It's terrible! The town is being destroy by three boys with freakish powers. This is a very serious situation. What action do you propose we take?"
"Tag! Tag! Tag! Tag!" Ryou, Yugi and Malik all said as they flew while laughing and giggling, Solomon quickly swirled to the left to miss the destroyed car.
Meanwhile back in City hall, many business people were running around in distressed as as several concerned businessmen are shoving papers in Ms. Valentine's face. .
"Don't worry gentlemen. The mayor and I have the situation under control!" Ms. Valentine said to calm the businessmen.
"Oh boy!" The mayor said.
"I know sir!" Ms. Valentine said as they continue to walk. .
The boys were still flying as they still giggled and laugh while Solomon was driving to follow his sons as he made a screeching to the right to miss a burning and destroyed car. .
A large two doors were forced opened by a large crowd of people are surrounding the two politicians, "Oh boy!" Mayor Hawkins said.
"You tell them Mayor! Domino City will not stand for this kind of behavior!" Ms Valentine said as she and the crowd of people followed the Mayor. .
Ryou, Yugi and Malik were still flying, unknown to where their direction was taking them, Solomon made a screeching left and gasped when he saw his boys were heading straight to the City hall.
The mayoral group was outside, led by the diminutive public official, "Uh, Mayor, hello?! City's being destroyed!? Where are you going?!" Ms. Valentine asked as she and the crowd followed him down the right white block right next to the hall, behind the tall white columns. The businessmen were even more anxious and worried now while the mayor only said oh boy. .
Ryou, Yugi and Malik were all laughing and giggling as they flew, Solomon followed his boys Mayor Hawkins kept on walking . .
"Mayor, what are you doing?! We're in a serious mushroom!" Ms Valentine said as the mayor stopped as if an idea came to her.
"Exactly!" She said happily as they all stopped. . in front of a food cart that sold mushrooms. . .
Solomon rushes behind his boys as they were heading right to City hall, "Boys! NO!" Solomon yelled in his car. .
The vendor was seen busying herself inside the food cart, "Ahem, hello. . ' Mayor Hawkins said as the vendor pops out her head out with a smile toward her favorite and valuable customer.
"Hello!" she said as she looked almost like the twin sister of the Mayor only with black hair, a nose that looked like a big mushroom and a bad french accent.
"The Usual, Marie!" The mayor said with a smile on her face. .
Ryou, Yugi and Malik were nearing the City hall as they were laughing and giggling. .
"Ahh! Yes, I have a fine vintage for you here, picked fresh today!" Marie said with her bad french accent as she smiled toward her customer, she then takes out a moist, brown-grey button mushroom high in the air by a pair of thongs, brine dripping off it's smooth surface. .
"OH BOY!" The Mayor cried in happiness!
The boys were even closer as the Mayor, ever slowly bringing the mushroom toward her moist lips. Ryou, Yugi and Malik flew toward the City hall laughing and giggling. The Mayor almost took a bite of her tasty mushroom as the boys strike the mushroom cart outside City Hall. . the result was an explosion that blasted everyone backwards, as the smoke cleared it reveals a giant impact crater left by the boys impact as the vendor cart was demolished. . .
Ryou, Yugi and Malik were lying down in the center, laughing giddily and rapidly talking about the game as they changed back to their normal forms. Solomon ran into the scene and over the dazed bodies and toward his boys. .
"Boy! Boys! Are you okay?!" Solomon asked them urgently as all three of them kept on laughing. .
All three of them float up and touched Solomon, "Tag! You're it Professor!" Ryou, Yugi and Malik laughed with joy in their laughter. .
Their laughter could only be heard The Mayor lay there in the crater, surrounded by numerous dirty and decapitated pickles that had burst from the cart. While the boys continued to laugh, the destruction on the Hall alone remained evident, with a gaping hole into the place where the impact had occurred. And not just there. Moving out from the hall, the damage was evident everywhere. Past Solomon's sleek white car, which was parked next to the front steps, holes were poking out of building at every turn. Upturned cars littered the ground.
Rubbish stuck to everything. The people were oddly scarce too, seeing as most had fled to safety upon seeing the flying streak that was the boys. The street remained quiet until the glass globe that Ryou had used to catch Yugi and which Yugi had subsequently knocked over, came out of an adjacent street. At a very slow speed, it bumped off the building wall, denting it heavily in the process, whilst also setting off a nearby car alarm.
And from a distance far enough that one could see the whole of the city, along with the surrounding suburbs and outskirts, the true extent of the damage to the city was evident. Virtually every structure, from skyscrapers to those only a story tall, was pockmarked with house-sized holes. Then, at the city's side, the Space Needle's building top finally gave way. Letting off a bit of smoke, it fell to the ground like an oversized dart.
The City looked like it had been subjected to half an apocalypse. As darkness returned, the mood of the place similarly lowered.
All because off three super-powered little boys
