A/N: I'm updating fairly fast. On a side note,Torn Twisted's other nickname is Twisted.
It's time for the 'I own nothing but Wizard-Theif, Torn Twisted and the plot' speech: All I own is the plot, Wizard-Theif and Torn Twisted. I don't own Spidey, Mossnose, the Yu-Gi-Oh characters or the game Duel Monsters or anything else Like this chapter's title, "Enter the Shadow Realm".
"So this is the Shadow Realm." Spidey said looking around, "… It looks… dark… and shadowy…"
"They call it the Shadow Realm for a reason, you baka." Wizard-Theif said.
"So where do we go now?" Mossnose asked.
"Forward." Wizard-Theif said leading the way in a random direction.
"You're going the wrong way, Masika." Bakura's voice rang out.
"Or am I?" Wizard-Theif asked her eyes and hair changing. One eye was red, the other black and her hair was black with white bangs.
"Wow… that's new." Spidey muttered to no one.
"Elena? Is that you?" Malik's voice called out.
"Malik!?"
"At least we know that Man Z is here." Mossnose said to Torn Twisted who nodded.
"He isn't alone." Atemu's voice called out.
"Atemu? Where are you?" Torn Twisted asked.
"Did you really think that you could just stroll in here unnoticed?" A new male voice called out.
"Seto?" Mossnose asked her eyes wide.
"I know that now is not the time but… HA! I WAS RIGHT! YOU LOVE KAIBA-BOY! HA! I WIN!!" Wizard-Theif said laughing.
"I'm surprise at you, Masika." Bakura cut in, "I would have thought that you would have at least tried to hide your presence."
"Just trying to keep you guessing, Bakura." Wizard-Theif said while mentally telling herself to chill.
"Wizard-Theif", Spidey whispered, "What's the plan?"
"I don't have one."
"Where have I heard that before?" Bakura said.
"Shut up."
"You don't have a plan?!" Mossnose and Torn Twisted asked/yelled.
"That's the best way to beat the Eye and the Necklace. The only way to stop the necklace from predicting the future correctly is to make all your decisions at the last second and if you have no plan the Eye won't be able to figure out what you'll do next." Wizard-Theif explained.
"So you believe that we somehow reacquired the Millennium Object." Now Marik had joined the party.
"I'm willing to bet that you got the old ones some how or made new ones and were going to try to get revenge with them." Wizard-Theif said smugly.
"Very good", everyone could hear Marik clapping but still couldn't see anyone, "but did you foresee this?"
"What are you talking about?" Wizard-Theif asked, then she felt a tap on her shoulder, she turned to see Spidey looking very pale. Torn Twisted was also looking pale and had tapped Mossnose.
"What's wrong?" Mossnose asked.
Whatever it was, it had Spidey so worried that she could only point up. Wizard-Theif and Mossnose followed her pointing finger and what they saw made both girls gasp. Atemu, modern Yami Bakura, the Bakura from the past, Kaiba, evil clown Kaiba, Malik, Marik, Ryou and Yugi were each inside of a pyramid made of what seemed to be glass that was hanging from an invisible ceiling. Only past Bakura, Marik, evil clown Kaiba and Atemu were awake. The other boys were all leaned over like they were sleeping.
"Ok, so I was going in the wrong direction." Wizard-Theif muttered.
"Are they…?" Torn Twisted gasped her mouth suddenly dry.
Evil clown Kaiba just laughed, "No they are just preparing for the merging." He said.
"Merging?" Mossnose asked her eyes shone with worry for Kaiba.
"What sick twisted joke are you pulling, Evil-clown-Kaiba-boy? ... Oh, no offence Twisted." Wizard-Theif said.
"Atemu! What are you doing working with that guy!?" Torn Twisted asked.
Atemu just laughed and ignored her.
"HEY PHARAOH-BOY! YOUR FIANCÉE JUST ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" Wizard-Theif yelled at him.
Atemu looked at Wizard-Theif and sent a bolt of energy at her which she dodged only to be captured by Diabound. It wrapped its snaky lower half around her like a boa constrictor squeezing the life out its prey slowly.
"Pharaoh-boy and Bakura working to together… Am I the only one who thinks that that ain't right?" Wizard-Theif asked struggling to remove herself from Diabound's grip.
"Bakura you better have your monster loosen its grip. We don't what her to die… yet." Atemu said.
"That sounded just like Pharaoh-boy except for the, you know, telling Bakura to behave part." Wizard-Theif said as Diabound's grip loosened a bit, "Wait a minute, did you forget that I can't die? My life force is tied right into the Earth's and Shadow Realm's."
"Maybe you're life force, it's true that you wouldn't die from something that would kill a mortal but you still can die with the proper conditions." Marik said.
"Mossnose what can we do?" Torn Twisted asked.
"I'm not sure… We have to get the guys out of those pyramids." Mossnose replied.
"How do we do that?" Spidey asked.
The evil clown Kaiba laughed, "You can't. The only magic that works here is shadow magic."
Wizard-Theif's eyes lit up, "Then it's a good thing that I can just barely move my arm, Twisted, catch!" Wizard-Theif said moving her arm enough to remove the fake Millennium Ring from her neck and throwing it to Torn Twisted. Unfortunately, with only one arm to throw and little time to aim Torn Twisted was unable to catch it.
"I'll take that." Said past Bakura as he floated to the floor where the ring had fallen. When he reached out of the glass pyramid to pick it up he received a bloody hand. Mossnose had transformed into a cat and had bit the past Bakura.
"Brilliant Mossnose!! Bloody brilliant!" Wizard-Theif said laughing both at Mossnose's attack and her bad pun.
Mossnose ran over to Torn Twisted and handed her the Millennium Ring., then transformed back to human.
"Give me the Ring or I'll kill Masika." Past Bakura threatened.
Wizard-Theif just laughed and said, "They have no idea who you are talking about, Bakura and besides", She said as she merged with the shadows to appear beside her friends, "I'm not in any danger, now am I?"
"That is true but the Ring knows its owner."Past Bakura said. Then the Millennium Ring glowed gold and flew over to Bakura.
"Show off." Wizard-Theif muttered.
"I think that the girls need a demonstration of our power before we kill them."
The other yami's nodded and past Bakura continued, "I'll go first."
Then Ryou and modern Bakura's pyramids merged. As soon as the pyramids touched a blinding light appeared blocking whatever was happening. Once the light had died down there was only one pyramid and only one Bakura in it. It was hard to tell which Bakura was in control as he still appeared to be sleeping.
The past Bakura nodded when he saw the one Bakura then he turned back to the girls, "Thank you for delivering the last piece." He said to Wizard-Theif.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Mossnose demanded.
"Pyramids, merging, yami, hikaru…" Wizard-Theif muttered and then her eyes widened, "Oh no."
"What?" Spidey asked.
"They are merging hikaru's with yami's."
"So? The natural balance will be balanced, right? No big deal, right?" Torn Twisted asked.
"No it is a big deal!"
"What are you talking about?" Mossnose asked.
"Why don't you tell them your idea?" Atemu told Wizard-Theif.
"Wizard-Theif what gives?" Spidey asked.
"The world never was perfectly balanced." Wizard-Theif said, "There was always something that tipped the scale."
"So?" Mossnose asked.
"Man Z split hikaru's and yami's in order to strengthen the darkness in the yami's. And when he could find the hikaru's he weaken their life force sometimes having the yami's do it."
"So far you are right." Evil clown Kaiba said.
"How can you strengthen the darkness in a yami?" Spidey asked, "I thought that yami's were purely dark."
"No", Wizard-Theif said, "nothing is purely light or dark. The only way to strengthen the darkness in a yami is to make it feel more hatred."
"Congratulations." Past Bakura said.
"So when they merge back, the darkness will outweigh the lightness and the yami would be in complete control."
"Any ideas why Man Z would want the yami's in control?" Torn Twisted asked.
Wizard-Theif was silent looking at the ground.
"Since she won't answer I will." Past Bakura said, "She is thinking that perhaps he would do that so that the balance would be thrown off so badly that she will have to do something."
"Do you have the Millennium Eye or something?" Wizard-Theif asked looking up her eyes her back to black but her hair was still black and white.
"No, I just know you well enough to read your mind."
"And yet you never saw the knife coming."
"Wizard-Theif what was he talking about with the balance being so thrown off that you would have to do something?" asked Spidey.
Wizard-Theif sighed and past Bakura said, "So, you never told them about-"
"They know that I have the power to destroy the world and shadows but they didn't know that it's my destiny to do so." Wizard-Theif cut him off.
"What?!" the other girls asked.
"Are you guys having fun saying that? It would take too long to explain. Let's just stop them before something happens."
"You better explain later." Mossnose said.
"I will."
"You're going anywhere." Marik said laughing.
"Spidey, your crazed stalker laughs too much." Mossnose said.
"That's my line." Wizard-Theif said.
"So? I said it this time."
Then shadowy floor started to quake and then the girls soon found themselves in the same sort of pyramids that the guys were in but the girls all shared one pyramid.
"What the?" Spidey asked.
"Now we can complete the merging." Past Bakura said. He merged the fake ring with his and then his pyramid and modern Bakura's merged. This time instead of a blinding light when the pyramids touched it was as if a dense black fog had rolled in.
"I can't see anything." Mossnose said.
"Neither can I." The other girls said.
"Mossnose", Wizard-Theif asked, "you ready?"
"With you, I have to be ready for anything and everything." Mossnose said transforming to a tiger size.
"I'm not sure if that was a compliment… but I'm talking it as one."
Then as if on cue the girls slammed into the glass wall. Wizard-Theif fell to the ground in pain, clutching her shoulder where Diabound had bit her. Mossnose transformed back to a human and looked at the wall for a scratch.
"Damn you, Bakura." Wizard-Theif hissed.
"Wizard-Theif, you okay?" Spidey asked worried.
Wizard-Theif didn't answer but walked over to the other side of the pyramid. Once there she ran back to the other side and kicked it.
"Ow." Wizard-Theif said as she bounced off it and crashed against the wall.
"I don't get it." Torn Twisted said sitting down on the floor of the pyramid.
"What is there not to get? This pyramid is almost unbreakable." Wizard-Theif said looking at her shoulder that had starting bleeding again, "Damn you, Bakura." She cursed again.
"Why would Atemu work with those guys?"
"Millennium Rod… or the Seal of Orichalcos."
"What does that have to do with this?" Spidey asked.
"They could have used the Seal of Orichalcos or the Millennium Rod to control him. The Seal of Orichalcos releases the darkness in one's soul and strengthens it", Wizard-Theif said, "but I not sure if would still work. Pharaoh-boy and Yugi beat that card before so I'm not sure how they did it… maybe they just made him so mad that-"
"No, that's not it." Torn Twisted said.
"Well… they could have done what they did to me."
"What are you talking about now?" Spidey asked.
"Remember at the café, they could have done the same thing and that's how they are controlling him." Wizard-Theif said as she attacked the wall again.
"But you weren't completely controlled." Spidey pointed out.
"But I'm a demonic incarnation of darkness and I'm immortal." Wizard-Theif countered.
"True… I thought that we already figured out that this wouldn't break."
"So, what's your point?"
"My point is… STOP HITTING THE WALL!"
"Hang on, one more time." Wizard-Theif said.
"No! Not one more time!"
Wizard-Theif either didn't hear or ignored Spidey because she attacked the wall once more. This time the wall shattered and Wizard-Theif disappeared into the fog.
"You guys coming or not?" Wizard-Theif called out.
"Come on!" Mossnose said transforming back to a cat and jumping through the hole that Wizard-Theif created.
In a few seconds Spidey and Torn Twisted had followed.
"Ok, now what?" Mossnose asked when Spidey and Torn Twisted had caught up.
"We have to find the guys and get them back to normal… sorta. Then we can find out what the heck is going on and then we can beat Man Z at his own game." Wizard-Theif said.
"I thought the plan was to not have a plan." Spidey said.
"Meh, it's the most obvious plan ever so it doesn't matter because we are going to win no matter what!"
"What makes you so sure?" Torn Twisted asked.
"Don't be such a party-pooper, Twisted. We are the good guys… girls… W'ever, we always win!" Then Wizard-Theif started to disappear, "Wow… would you look at that."
"What is happening?" Torn Twisted asked, she too was starting to disappear.
"I don't know but it's not good news." Mossnose said, transforming back to human as she became lost in the darkness.
Spidey was the only one who wasn't disappearing, "Guys? What's going on?" she asked.
"I think we are being transported to different parts of the Shadow Realm." Wizard-Theif said.
"What?!" Spidey and Torn Twisted asked.
"So what's the plan?" Mossnose asked.
"What do you think? We find each other and if anyone messes with us we beat them at their own game." said Wizard-Theif. By this time she was almost completely see through, "Best of luck girls." She said then she disappeared.
"Good luck." Mossnose said and then she disappeared as well.
"See ya, Spidey." Torn Twisted said before she was no longer visible.
"Good luck guys." Spidey said.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh! … Ow. That was one high fall." Mossnose said getting up. She had just fallen from at least 100 feet, landed on her face and somehow was unharmed.
"That's odd. I thought that cats always landed on their feet." Kaiba stepped out of the shadows.
"Seto?"
"Yes and no."
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Wow, what a rush and here I thought that falling from great heights had lost the thrill. Gotta remember to jump of the KVLY-TV mast or the CN Tower later… Now what one was taller?" Wizard-Theif said to herself as she dusted herself off. She had fallen from the same height as Mossnose but had enjoyed it a lot more. Also unlike Mossnose, Wizard-Theif landed on her feet and was alone for now.
"Now where am I?" She thought looking around, "Still in the Shadow Realm, alone… Not even some banished souls around here… I wonder if Man Z was just using Marik and the others to break him out… Huh?" Wizard-Theif looked into the shadows.
"Looking for me?" asked a voice.
"Bakura." Wizard-Theif said threateningly as she turned around to see him.
"Where is everyone?" Torn Twisted thought aloud as she walked around in the shadows. Unlike Wizard-Theif and Mossnose she just found herself on the floor without falling from a great height. "Just great, I have no idea where I am or where everyone else is." She said then she saw a shadow move, "That's odd I could have sworn that that was Atemu or Yugi… I must be losing it." She thought. Then the shadow moved again, "Ok…? What was that?" She thought, panic starting to build in her.
"It's alright, Akeldama. It's going to be ok."
"Atemu? Yugi?" Torn Twisted asked then the shadow came over to her.
"Where to now?" Spidey thought as she walked in a random direction, "Maybe I should just stay put that way the others can find me."
"So we are all alone now." Marik said walking up behind Spidey.
"You!" Spidey said spinning around, "You Baka!" She yelled then she slapped him and ran away.
After running till she felt like she would pass out, she stopped to take a rest. "Man running from crazed morons can really take a lot out of ya."
"Whoa! Sit Boy!" Wizard-Theif appeared out of nowhere and appeared to be talking to no one.
"Wizard-Theif!?" Spidey yelled.
"Hang on a second!" Wizard-Theif said and then a blast of light appeared aiming for Wizard-Theif who dodged no problem, "So what did I miss?" She asked once she and Spidey ran in a random direction.
"Nothing much, just Marik hitting on me." Spidey replied.
"Evil Marik right?"
"Yeah."
"So nothing new?"
"No. What happened with you?"
"Bakura just trying to kill me but that's nothing new."
"It was before and you can't fight him right now because you love him."
Cue anime red cross on temple, "I don't like him like that and is now really the time?" Wizard-Theif asked then she crashed into Mossnose.
"Mossnose did you really have to be in the middle of the road?" Wizard-Theif asked getting off of Mossnose.
"What road?" Mossnose asked.
"…True… so what happened to you?"
Mossnose just looked at the floor in sadness.
"Did you finally realize how evil your boyfriend is?" Wizard-Theif asked happily.
"He isn't evil he is just being controlled." Mossnose said in Kaiba's defence.
"So you are dating."
"Wizard-Theif, you were just nagging me about how me questioning you about your relationship with Bakura-" Spidey was cut off by Mossnose asking:
"She has a relationship with Bakura?"
And Wizard-Theif yelling, "I don't have a relationship with Bakura, I barely even know him!"
"So don't question Mossnose about her relationship with Kaiba if you don't want to be questioned about Bakura." Spidey finished.
"I wasn't questioning, that's your job. I was annoying her about it, you know, messing with her head." Wizard-Theif corrected.
"W'ever."
"Hey, where is Twisted?" Mossnose asked looking around.
"No idea, we haven't run into her yet." Spidey said.
"We better find her before something else happens." Wizard-Theif said once again leading the way in a random direction.
"Ever see how we walk in a random direction but we never retrace our steps." Spidey asked.
"I know… It's almost like someone is leading us to each other." Wizard-Theif said.
"Maybe to finish us all off at once." Mossnose said.
"Mossnose, I thought you were the fun facts girl not the predictions of doom girl. I thought that was Torn Twisted."
"Huh?" Spidey and Mossnose asked.
"Never mind."
Then the girls heard a scream.
"Can Torn Twisted scream?" Wizard-Theif asked.
"Do you want to stick around here and talk about it or move it and find the source of the scream?" Mossnose asked running ahead of the other two girls.
Spidey ran after her and Wizard-Theif looked up and said, "Guys? You might want to stop running and look up."
"Huh?" The two girls asked as they stopped running and walked back to Wizard-Theif. Once there they looked up to see:
"I don't see anything." Mossnose said.
"What are you talking about?" Wizard-Theif asked then she pointed to the sky and said, "It's in plain view, right there."
"I still don't see anything." Spidey said.
"Are you guys blind!?" Wizard-Theif asked.
"No, are you losing it?!" Mossnose yelled back.
"Ladeeez, increase the peace." Spidey said.
"Meh", Wizard-Thief said turning her back to Mossnose, "I'm telling you that something is up there."
"Like what?" Spidey asked.
"I think it's Diabound." As if hearing 'its' name activated the monster it attacked with White Lightening attack.
"Look out!" Wizard-Theif said pushing the others out of the way, "I thought that I lost him." She said getting up and looking around for the monster.
"Looks like you didn't." Mossnose said.
Then they heard the scream again but the screaming didn't stop after 5 seconds.
"Run?" Spidey asked.
"Yeah, to where the screaming is coming from." Wizard-Theif said following Mossnose, "And try to avoid getting fried by any monsters."
"I thought that only Seto's Blue Eyes White Dragons had that move." Mossnose said as the other two caught up.
"What, White Lightening Attack?" Wizard-Theif asked, "Usually yes but he and Bakura must have duelled ancient style and he could have lost. When Diabound defeats another monster in battle he learns the defeated monster's moves."
"Speaking of Diabound, did anyone see where it disappeared to?" Spidey asked having to shout over the screaming that was steadily getting louder.
"Uh…" Mossnose and Wizard-Theif said looking at each other.
"I'll take that as a no."
"Yeah… hey isn't that Torn Twisted?" Wizard-Theif asked looking ahead as the screaming continued.
"Yeah… But she doesn't look like she is screaming." Spidey said.
"Ok then… When we find the real source of the screaming I'm going to kill it." Wizard-Theif said
"I'll help. The screaming is killing my hearing." Mossnose said.
Spidey just shook her head and muttered "Demons." as they ran up to Torn Twisted.
"I heard that." Mossnose and Wizard-Theif muttered back and then they said to one another, "Can we help it if violence and bloodshed is in our genes?"
"Nope." They answered laughing. Then they got to Torn Twisted and the laughter died in their throats.
"Hey, Twisted, you okay?" Spidey asked sitting down. Torn Twisted was kneeling on the ground, shivering.
"Torn? Torn Twisted? You okay?" Mossnose asked kneeling down beside her.
"How could he?" Torn Twisted muttered.
"How could he what?" Wizard-Theif asked still standing and looking around for anything suspicious.
"How could he work with those… those…?" Torn Twisted appeared lost for words.
"Bizarre peculiar weird eccentric odd psychopathic baka's, is that what you meant? Or maybe anomalous, uncharacteristic, idiosyncratic, aberrant, deviant, pathetic, about to be assassinated losers, would describe them better. I personally like that second description." Wizard-Theif asked.
"You don't really know what anything you just said meant did you?" Mossnose asked.
"Bits and pieces."
"My Malik is not any of those things!" Spidey yelled getting up and glaring at Wizard-Theif.
"Your Malik's body is currently being controlled by his evil twin who is all the things I just said." Wizard-Theif pointed out.
"… True… But still!"
"I'm confused." Mossnose said to Torn Twisted who had finally stopped shivering.
"I'm not sure whether to laugh or be lost." Torn Twisted replied.
"Oh, standing up for Yami Marik? What will Hikaru Malik think?" Wizard-Theif asked dramatically.
"I'm not standing up for Yami Marik!" Spidey yelled.
"Then who were you standing up for?" Wizard-Theif asked with a cheesy confused look on her face.
"Is now really the time?" Mossnose whispered to Wizard-Theif pulling her a little away from Spidey.
"Of course. We need to keep our spirits up and Twisted could use a laugh. Spidey knows that I'm just fooling around." Wizard-Theif said.
"Are you sure?"
The two looked at Spidey.
Spidey just looked mad "… Fairly…" Wizard-Theif said then Spidey looked mad with clenched fists. "I think so…" Wizard-Theif changed her mind and then Spidey looked evil and mad and homicidal. "Nope, not a chance. I'm so dead later." Wizard-Theif concluded finally.
"I'm just saying that our boyfriends are being controlled!" Spidey yelled.
Wizard-Theif looked genuinely surprised when she replied, "I have a boyfriend?"
"BAKURA, YOU BAKA, YOU ARE SO SLOW!"
"WE ARE NOT DATING NOR DO I HAVE ANY SORT OF RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM!" Wizard-Theif yelled back.
The others all laughed at Wizard-Theif's reaction and she just ate a Smartie.
"Who else wants a chill pill?" She asked.
"I just realized something…" Mossnose said.
"Huh?" The others asked.
"The screaming stopped."
There was a silence where all the girls were listening for the screaming.
"I guess that Wizard-Theif scared it off." Torn Twisted laughed.
"Ha. Ha. Ha. Let's just keep moving alright? This place is creeping me out and I'm the demon of darkness." Wizard-Theif said looking around and walking away.
"I wonder where the guys are now." Spidey said following.
"So what did Atemu do to make you so afraid?" Mossnose asked Torn Twisted as they followed Spidey and Wizard-Theif.
"He and Bakura ganged up on me and were attacking me with their monsters. Then you guys showed up and they disappeared." She replied trembling at the memory.
"How is that possible?" Spidey asked Wizard-Theif.
"We never actually saw Diabound. I just thought that it was him but it could have been Kaiba-boy's Blue Eyes White Dragon." Wizard-Theif replied.
"I just wish I knew where they were and what all the screaming was about." Mossnose said.
"Don't we all?" Wizard-Theif asked.
"Maybe we can be of assistance." A voice said before its owner appeared standing in front of Spidey and Wizard-Theif.
"Kura." Wizard-Theif said her eyes narrowing.
("Ooh, she has a pet name." Spidey whispered to Mossnose in the background.)
"It looks like your old partner isn't very happy to see you, tomb robber." Another voice said.
"Atemu?" Torn Twisted asked, her eyes growing wide.
Marik's evil laughter was heard before he said, "The pharaoh is right, 'Kura'. It appears that none of our girls are happy to see us."
"WE ARE NOT YOUR GIRLS!" Wizard-Theif yelled.
"Get a life!" Spidey added.
"Too bad, better luck next time." At the sound of Kaiba's voice Mossnose paled but her eye narrowed as well.
"Oh look, Kaiba-boy has joined the party." Wizard-Theif said, "Why am I not surprised?"
"Tell you what; we each fight one of you in any kind of game you want." Bakura said.
"What's the catch?" Spidey asked.
"Why would you think there is a catch?" Marik asked.
"Because there always is, baka." Mossnose said.
"If you win we will let you leave the Shadow Realm", Kaiba said, "but if you lose-"
"We-stay-in-the-shadows-for-the-rest-of-eternity-you-go-back-and-rule-the-world-blah, blah, blah." Wizard-Theif said.
"I wasn't going to say that."
"Sure you weren't Kaiba-Boy and I'm an incarnation of light." Wizard-Theif said, "Oh boy!" Kaiba had tried to attack her with old Blue Eyes and once again, he missed.
"Sorry but if we decide to fight you, we get to decide the stakes." Spidey said over Wizard-Theif saying:
"Kaiba-boy you need to work on your aim. It's as pathetic as Bakura's."
"Alright, each individual will choose their opponent and then each pair will decide their game's stakes and the game." Atemu said.
"I'll take on Atemu and Yugi." Torn Twisted said.
"You sure?" Wizard-Theif asked.
"Yes."
"I accept." Atemu said.
"Alright, I'll take on Kaiba-boy." Wizard-Theif said.
"No, I'll be the one to fight him." Mossnose said.
"Mossnose, I just want you to know… you take the fun out of everything." Wizard-Theif said gravely.
"Thanks."
"Masika, I challenge you." Bakura said.
"Marik or Bakura… Who to fight?" Wizard-Theif asked Spidey.
"You're fighting 'Kura' for two reasons." Spidey replied.
"And those reasons are?"
"One I'm fighting Marik so there is no one else left to fight and two… you love him."
"I DON'T LOVE BAKURA!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT! THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ME AND HIM!"
"Indoor voice, Wizzie. How do you think that makes your poor little 'Kura' feel?"
"Grrrrrrr! Don't make me hurt you. Alright, Bakura, I'll take you on."
"Which leave us." Marik said.
"Uh…" Spidey said changing her mind about fighting Marik, "Hey Wizard-Theif-?"
"No." Wizard-Theif said.
"Alright now what are the stakes and games?" Mossnose asked.
"Why did my mind go to gambling?" Spidey asked.
"Me too… maybe we have a gambling problem and never knew it?" Wizard-Theif said.
"We have never gambled in a casino before."
"Maybe all those presentations on the dangers of gambling… and smoking… and drugs… and drinking… and-"
"You're point?"
"I don't think I have one."
"Are you two finished?" Kaiba asked.
"Aw. What? You don't want to hear us rant Kaiba-boy?" Wizard-Theif replied.
"Alright choose your game and the stakes." Atemu said pointedly ignoring Wizard-Theif.
"Hang on, girl talk." Spidey said pulling the girls away from the guys.
"What gives Spidey?" Mossnose whispered.
"Only one of us has to wager the way out of here."
"But we have to get all the guys back to normal." Torn Twisted said.
"I think I have a plan!" Wizard-Theif said, "We all fight a game that we can win. Mossnose, trivia, I'll do a fist fight, Spidey… uh… I'll think of one later."
"Oh thanks." Spidey said.
"Torn Twisted… uh… This is going to be hard because Atemu and Yugi are the King… Kings of Games… uh…"
"Doesn't matter, I'll do a fist fight too." Torn Twisted said.
"No two pairs can play the same game." Bakura said.
"Well… that complicates things…" Wizard-Theif said, "Torn Twisted, your best shot is a duel, a modern duel."
"Duel Monsters?!" Torn Twisted asked, "Are you nuts!? He is the best duellist there is!"
"I know but if you pull a Kaiba-boy and put your life on the line, it might knock some sense into him."
"And if it doesn't?!"
"Uh… Don't think about that. Spidey… uh… not Ancient style duelling."
"I'm fighting Marik." Spidey said, "How hard can it be to beat him?"
"Wing Dragon of Ra hard."
"Oh… yeah… I forgot about that."
"I thought that Yugi had all the god cards." Mossnose said.
"Oh yeah… But we are in the Shadow Realm Spidey could pass out right away if she used Soul of Purity and Light." Wizard-Theif pointed out, "And, no offence, but you just barely get the basics of Duel Monsters."
"I know, but what game can we play that I would win?" Spidey asked.
"We'll think of that later." Mossnose said, "What are we wagering that the guys would fight us for."
"Spidey if you lose, you will marry Marik… evil Marik." Wizard-Theif said.
"WHAT!" Spidey yelled.
"It's our best shot at getting out. If you lose you will marry evil Marik but if you win everyone you choose will get out of here and evil Marik will go to the shadows and good Malik will be back to normal."
"But we don't know what game I'm playing!"
"Wizard-Theif, you have to play Duel Monsters Ancient style against Bakura." Torn Twisted said.
"I'm not sure I could win that… but alright I've beaten him almost every time before." Wizard-Theif replied.
"Now Spidey can have a fist fight with Marik."
"Huh?!" Spidey asked.
Wizard-Theif whispered something into Spidey's ear and grinned. Spidey shook her head and said:
"I can't do that."
"You're too high principled for your own good, Spidey. The guy is a stalker… and he deserves it." Wizard-Theif pointed out.
"Hmmm. When I think about it now…Ok."
"Alright we got what Spidey is wagering. What are the rest of us wagering?" Mossnose asked.
"Wizard-Theif should wager a kiss and do whatever he wants for a whole day if she loses." Spidey said.
"WHAT!? I ALRIGHT TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES THAT BAKURA HAS NO INTEREST IN ME AND I HAVE NONE IN HIM!" Wizard-Thief yelled.
"Your little 'Kura' can hear, you know."
"HE IS NOT-"
"Look it's not like you're going to lose, it's just to lure him. If you win he has to return to normal." Torn Twisted said.
"Define normal for Bakura."
"Oh… true… well… Ryou back to regular life force and only one Yami Bakura that sometimes take over… the one that's not from the past."
"Oh fun… Torn Twisted, wager… uh… Curse you Pharaoh-boy! You're so hard to shop for!"
"Wager that you'll do whatever he wants for a day." Spidey said, "You usually can't go wrong with that."
"Unless you lose…" Wizard-Theif muttered but after getting a look from Spidey she added, "But stick with our plan to get some sense into him and you can't lose."
"What was that plan, again?" Torn Twisted asked.
"Kaiba-boy threatened to possibly kill himself if Yugi didn't throw the duel and later on when Pharaoh-Boy was duelling Yugi. Yugi knocked some sense into him by playing a very dangerous card."
"Kaiba won his duel but Yugi lost." Spidey pointed out.
"I thought you said that you didn't watch the show."
"I don't, Malik told me."
"Baka Malik."
"You know what to wager if you win, right?" Mossnose asked.
"Atemu back to normal and Yugi's life force returned." Torn Twisted said.
"Good."
"What are you wagering?"
"Same as the others but for Seto to part with his Yami."
"Day of what he wants?"
"Yeah but I don't think I'll lose."
"Not even if he asks about Duel Monsters?"
Mossnose gulped, "Now I'm worried."
"Are you girls ready or not?" Kaiba asked.
"You bet." Wizard-Theif said.
The teams split and the pairs walked a little away from the others so that no one else would get hurt if things got out of hand in one game.
"So what was the game you picked and what are you wagering?" Kaiba asked.
"If I lose I'll do what ever you want but if I win Yami Seto stays in the Shadow Realm and Hikaru Seto gets all his life force that he lost back." Mossnose replied.
"Hmmm… Alright, the game?"
"Trivia, first one with 3 answers wrong loses."
"Prepare to lose."
"Let's just cut to the chase. If-I-lose-I'll-do-whatever-you-want-for-a-whole-day-but-if-I-win-Hikaru-Ryou-Bakura-gets-back-to-regular-life-force-and-the-yami-from-the-past-stays-in-the-shadow-while-the-yami-from-now-returns-back-to-normal-strength… ish." Wizard-Theif said in a hurry.
"Huh?" In was apparent that Bakura hadn't understood a word that Wizard-Theif had said.
"The game is Duel Monsters Ancient Style."
"Alright, I summon Diabound."
"Why am I not surprised? I summon Vampire Lord. Oh yeah, I forgot, Last duellist standing, not moving. The last duellist not lying on the ground in pain or fear, wins and the duellist can only control one monster at a time. Get-it-got-it- Good."
"Huh?"
"So what game did you decide on?" Atemu asked.
"Duel Monsters." Torn Twisted said without fear.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, if I lose I'll do what ever you want but if I win you and Yugi return to normal. Meaning that Yugi gets all his life force that he lost back and that Atemu returns to the way he was."
"Alright and good luck."
"What game are we going to be playing?" Marik asked sounding totally innocent.
"He sounded just like Malik there… Is he trying to confuse me?" Spidey thought but then she got her head in the game, "We are going to be fighting in weapon-less combat."
"What will happen if I win?"
"I'll… I'll marry you." Spidey said. She almost couldn't say it but there what done was done and now there was no way that she was going to lose now, "But if I win, everyone I choose will get out of here and Yami Marik will go to the shadows and Good Malik will be back to normal."
"Prepare to lose and become my wife, Elena."
"You wish!"
A/n: 30 pages and a bitsized 14 font, Times New Roman… that's pretty good for me. Lightness is a word for those who don't know, I didn't. Please review. Spidey has ditched me again so I have to wait for her to get back here before I update again… sorry but I will update as soon as possible. See ya and please review.
