*Sigh* I'm so sorry… again… for making there be a giant gap between updates…
I hope this chapter makes up for the wait… I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, Final Fantasy, or Crystal, but I do own my OC Sky. Enjoy!
Chapter 14
"Alright, I'm back to work on this story!" I announce as I enter the room. Everyone turns their heads to me, excluding for Lucy, Sky, and Shade, who aren't here, but including a young woman with really long purple hair, violet eyes, a black hoodie, blue jean shorts, and some pretty awesome black boots. "Ah, Crystal. Glad to see you made it here in one piece."
Mcdinh's OC raises an eyebrow. "You're the one who showed Jack the M-rated death scenes, aren't you?"
"It was only one," I retort. "Gosh, it's not like I'm going to burn all of them at the stake."
"Ooh, can we?" Muse-Jack and Meri ask at the same time.
"Wha—no!" I shout. "It's bad enough I let Lucy sort of show it in the most recent chapter of Midnight Sun!"
"Great. Another psycho-authoress," Crystal mutters. Then she sighs, "Alright, what did my author send me here to do?"
"I'll get to that later," I reply. "First, Lucy, Shade, and Sky have to return so that I can do the first dare."
"Would that have anything to do with the wedding cake that appeared in the corner?" Leo asks, drooling a little. "It looks delicious."
"Wedding cake?" I ask. "Oh. Huh. Guess that's what Doccy sent me. In which case, yes, that would be for the dare. And no, no one's getting married."
There's a sudden burst of light that makes everyone cover their eyes, and I think someone screams. When I lower my arm, I realize Shade has successfully brought back Sky and Lucy. Good.
My OC gives me the best death glare imaginable. "Why would you let her do that?"
I shrug. "Meh."
"Wait, what happened?" Yusei asks.
"She," Sky points at me, "let Lucy take control of my body."
"It was so much fun! Way more havoc than I could ever cause with my own body!" Lucy exclaims.
"And now I'll never be able to set foot outside of this place without fear of the police arresting me!" my OC counters.
"You really shouldn't have done that," Yusei says, shaking his head at me.
"Sorry," I say. "Well, anyways, onto the first dare. Which is more of a reward for everyone here except Sky."
"Wait, what? Why not me?" Sky asks.
"Because you're immune to dares," I reply.
"So are you," she counters.
"Then I remove my immunity BUT only for this dare," I reply.
"You're a troll."
"Not all the time," I say. "Eh… Well, here. I'll read it for you all. Also, this is exactly how it was submitted to me."
Request by: Doccy Larsson Seraphim
Receivers: Everyone
Dare: I think Akron - I mean Jay - will be pleased to see Sky watch everyone else eat delicious cake! Even Placido/Primo gets cake! And he can't even taste the flavor! Or, he wouldn't, if it was a normal cake. BUT THIS IS THE CAKE OF ALL AWESOMENESS, AND EVEN ANDROIDS CAN TASTE THE MAGNIFICENCE! IT'S THAT GOOD!
Rule: Sky has to watch them the ENTIRE time. Those who get the cake can share it if they want to, but NOT with Sky. And if Sky tries to steal even the tiniest crumb, she must face the Closet of Doom for at least 24 hours.
"Cake that even I can taste, huh…?" Primo says. "Interesting. I haven't had cake in years."
"Why'd he forget to mention me?" Lester whines.
"I don't know," I reply. "But hey, you're getting cake. Everyone here except Sky is, actually."
"That includes me?" Crystal asks.
"Mhmm. It's a loophole that rewards you," I say.
"Good. After what mcdinh did in the newest chapter of Crystallization…"
XXX
…Okay. I don't know what I was expecting when they all had cake. Leo and Crow trying to take it all? Yeah, I expected that. But what I didn't expect was all of the characters proceeding to maul each other for more. And when I say all, I REALLY mean all of them. That means timid Carly and level-headed Yusei were both involved.
It got to the point where someone decided that the cake was too good to be eaten… and a food fight was started.
At that point, I put up the Everything Shield, lean back, and watch the carnage while listening to random Final Fantasy themes from the Jukebox in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy.
XXX
Yeah. I probably let that get quite a bit out of hand. At least half of the cake was eaten, but the rest is either on people, the walls, the ceiling, the floors, or the decorations in the room. Ugh.
But… and I'm sure this is going to make some people happy… early on in the cake fight, someone ended up chucking a fistful of frosting at Sky's face. While her mouth was open. And she swallowed it. That certainly counts towards her breaking the rules… unfortunately for her.
"Estuans interius ira vehementi… Sephiroth! Sephiroth!"
Alright, enough One-Winged Angel. I turn off my PSP, pull my earbuds out, and switch off the Everything Shield. I snap my fingers, and the cake that isn't in someone's hands at the moment disappears. Sky also disappears, with a scowl on her face.
"Throw any more cake and you join Sky in the Closet of Doom!" I shout, particularly looking in the direction of my muses and the two Emperors of Yliaster. All of them are ready to throw their handfuls of cake at the others. "The remaining cake is for you to eat, not throw."
"Hmph. Party pooper," Meri says.
"Just wait until the next dare," I say. "You'll have your fun."
Her eyes light up. "Really? What is it?!"
XXX
Request by: mcdinh
Receiver(s): Meri (but by extend, Jack, Crow, and Kalin)
Dare: Have a scissor-throwing contest with my oc, Crystal… blindfolded. Jack, Crow, and Kalin are targets.
"WHAT?!" all three of the "targets" shout at the same time.
"She sent you this to make me stop throwing knives at her, didn't she?" Crystal asks.
"TARGET PRACTICE!" Meri declares.
"Oh, yeah, I also added a rule," I say. "The guys, ahem, targets are not allowed to move or make noise. That includes making faces and flinching. First one goes in the Closet of Doom. Aaaand… the contest doesn't end until one of you are hit. Not grazed, but hit."
"Why don't you just go ahead and kill me now?" Crow mumbles.
"Because there are still so many other dares. Obviously," I reply. "Alright, blindfolds on!"
XXX
The three guys line up along the wall, and I finish tying the pillowcases around Meri and Crystal's heads.
"Alright Meri, how many fingers am I holding up?"
"Uh… three?"
Several of the others snicker as I roll my eyes, and change the number of fingers I'm holding up from three to one.
"Alright, how about now?"
"I… I dunno… five?"
"Crystal, is she really guessing?" I turn to the OC.
"Yes." A pause. "What's the point of blindfolding me if I can still see people's auras?"
An awkward silence fills the room. "Er… uh… huh. I don't have the authority to strip you of your powers, so…" I trail off, thinking. "I can… no, that would kill them… Maybe… Lucy! Can you block off Crystal's ability temporarily?"
"Sure," she says.
There's a flash near Crystal's head, and she inhales sharply. "This is… different…"
Alright, that means it worked.
"Then let the contest begin!"
XXX
Whenever a pair of scissors is thrown, a new, identical one appears in their hands. Meri's are the (forbidden, but oh well) purple kids scissors, while Crystal's are a darker shade of purple.
I made sure to put up a barrier, making a tunnel of sorts, around the five of them. That was to make sure no stray scissors hit anyone not involved in the dare.
I also made sure to pass out popcorn to everyone, although Yusei, Akiza, and Carly all declined. The former two because they'd both had a lot of cake, and the latter because she was extremely nervous.
The others… well, they started placing bets. Who would hit someone first, which one of the guys would move first… things like that. Hardly any of the bets were against Kalin, though…
Well, I guess I can see why. The icy-blue-haired man stares straight ahead, a slight frown set on his face, but other than that, has barely blinked since the thing started. Not even when a pair of scissors slices off some of his hair.
Although… I'm seriously going to call something weird going on by the fact that most of the scissors being thrown are landing near Jack. I mean, I know Meri strongly dislikes him, but Crystal's as well? Someone is messing around with it all. But… I don't know who.
Oh, looks like it doesn't matter. One of the scissors Crystal threw ended up getting awfully close to Crow's, uh… yeah. Anyways, he jerks out of the way, staying on the ground covering his dick like he was actually hit.
"Fuck! I needed Jack to lose!" Lucy shouts.
"Hah!" Joseph shouts. "You owe me! When the time comes!"
The white-haired girl proceeds to grumble about things. Likely death threats.
I just hope she doesn't turn any of those into story ideas.
The thing is… the contest isn't done yet, although the "targets" can move. And speak. It's what causes Jack's downfall, and the end of the contest.
Because Meri immediately locks on to his location because of that (dang it, Gregor the Overlander), and lands the scissors in his arm.
XXX
Like I said, I stayed out of the betting. All I know is that Sherry, Lester, and Bruno ended up on the losing ends.
…
Wait a second, Bruno?
"What the…? How did you get here, Bruno?" I ask.
"I don't know," he replies. He scratches his head. "I think I fell into a portal… but I'm not sure…"
"If you fell into a portal… then who made it?" Yusei asks.
"Arf! Arf!" Rudolph barks.
"Oh. I was going to bring him in next chapter… Well, thanks ahead of time, Rudolph."
"Since when can your dog make portals?" Primo asks.
"He's my muse, not my dog," I snap, "and he's been able to do them since he was created."
"Hmph."
"Whatever." I shrug, and take down the barrier. "Crow… looks like you—"
"WHAT WAS I SUPPOSE TO FUCKING DO?!" he shouts. "IT WAS ABOUT TO HIT MY—"
I snap my fingers, and he vanishes in a puff of smoke. I'm not too fond of foul language, and I'm certain Crow was about to start ranting in an extremely vulgar fashion.
Someone coughs.
"Well. Anyways, I've got one more dare, because these two weren't enough. Also the cake was basically just giving all of you treats before some of you get tortured," I say. "Luna, the guy who submitted it wants you to hand it out."
"Okay?"
Request by: amk8930
Receiver: Leo
Dare: You have to kiss every girl in our class.
The boy blinks a few times. "What was that?"
"You have to kiss every girl in your class," I say.
A look of fear crosses his face, and he shivers. "I… I don't really want to…"
"Your other choice is the Closet of Doom," I say.
"F-Fine…" he gulps.
I snap my fingers, and he disappears.
XXX
By the time he finishes, he's gotten slapped at least a dozen times, and punched in the gut twice, by the older brothers of two of the girls. I hate to admit it, but I find it all pretty funny. Because he also got several of the girls' numbers. But come on, it's also kinda funny watching someone get smacked.
I turn on my PSP, and my ears are blasted by Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy VI. I quickly pull out my headphones and turn the volume back down. Great, I know it's easy to do this with the computer, but having my PSP blast my ears? "Okay, who messed with my PSP?" I growl at them.
I know someone messed with it. It should have still been playing One-Winged Angel, and the volume left like I want it.
"That's for letting me get hurt," Jack says.
"Then you should be getting back at Meri, not me!" I retort.
"Well, I can't! She already left to take Crystal back," he shouts.
I hiss at him. "Next time, leave my stuff alone!"
"Hmph. Whatever."
That does it. I'm going to put another dare next chapter that tortures him…
To be continued…
So… did you all like it? I hope you did. Please, tell me in a review! Also, if you have any truths or dares to submit, those are always welcome!
