HolyPoseidon, Jaden looks cuter in person!... wait a minute... Gods dang it, I forgot all about Aphrodite's promise... I am so screwed... I trailed off in my thoughts.
"Thanks!" I said. I put a hand on the back of my head and rubbed slightly in an embarrassed way. "I guess, I have too much fun dueling I don't realize the risks there can be or is.. or even when I am losing, I just focus on how fun it is!"
Jaden grinned widely at me then slowly gained a confused fact, he scratched the back of his head to show his confusion even more. "Hey," Jaden said. "what kind of monsters were those, never seen anything like it!" The others arrived next to Jaden.
"Uh..." I said. "They are based on the Greek myths." My hand twitched again and grabbed Riptide, and started twirling it between my fingers in pen form.
"Wow," Yusei said. "even I haven't seen those type of cards before." Yusei sent a look to the others, and I honestly don't think he noticed, I noticed the look. I mean, come on, the look was very noticable!
"Nor have I" The Pharaoh said. Yugi nodded standing next to him in spirit form. I started to fiddle with Riptide a little more and continued rubbing the back of my head with my left hand.
"Well," I said. "Greek stuff is in my blood." I wasn't aware that spirit Yugi came and stood right next to me, before I mumbled "literally." I saw Yugi gain a shocked face before looking at he Pharaoh and probably saying something though their mind link.
Yami looked at him startled, then started to study me. I started to clutch Riptide for dear life, there was something off...
We don't have monsters here, do we? I thought nervously. Well I attract monsters like bees to honey if I stay in one spot for too long, and I've been here awhile. i need to get away from them, incase a monster attacks... now!
"Hey guys," I said. "I am going to go. My name's Percy. Thanks for the complements"
"I'm Jaden Yuki, that's Yusei Fudo, and this is Yugi Moto!" Jaden interrupted, pointing out who each one of them were. "Why don't you walk with us?" Jaden's eyes seem to been gleaming when he asked the question, and I shrugged it off.
"Jaden," Yusei said irritated. "Do you really think that is a good idea considering what is going on?"
"Guys, really," I pleaded. "I have to go!" I pleaded with way more force or power in my words toward the end. They all looked at me and I heard very familiar roars coming from three blocks away.
Him again? Why? I screamed in my head, half irrated and half scared.
"You hear that?" Yugi asked the Pharaoh. "'Cause it didn't sound good." It's not...
We heard a deep-throated roar and pounding of hooves. The Minotaur charged from a random and turned its side toward us. Huh, it's less freaky in animation than in the real life... Ah! Focus Seaweed Brain!
"What is that?" Yusei asked a bit too loud, considering the body twitched a bit in the direction of Yusei's voice.
"Shh!" I yelped at him, careful on not being to loud. "Not something you want to meet face to face, for sure... come on!" I grabbed Yami's arm and Jaden's arm as well and started to run towards a different alley. I heard them catch their footing and run correctly behind me. When we got in the alley, I pushed the gently against the wall. Well, as gently as you can push someone against a wall forcefully.
"What are doi-" I smacked a hand over his mouth gently, careful not to hurt him.
"Be quiet!" I hissed at him. "Stay here or go look for Paradox," Yusei's eyes widened. "I'll take care of the monster. He is after me anyway." I stepped back and uncapped Riptide. My trusty sword grew into my hand and Yami and Yugi's jaws dropped.
"Ah, great." I groaned. "Can you see this?" I twirled the sword around my hand to prove my point.
"Yeah that's a-" "Sword!" They all finished together.
"I'll explain later," I whisper shouted at them "Just get out of here!"
"No. We're not leaving." Yami said forcefully. "We can't leave you to fight that- that thing!" Jaden, Yusei, and Yugi nodded, agreeing with Yami.
"Fine," I whisper irritated at their stubbornness. "don't leave!" I looked out of the alley to see the Minotaur sniffing in the alley I awoke in. Great, he has my scent now... I turned back to them and looked the Pharaoh straight in his purple eyes. "You might be the Pharaoh." Yami and Yugi's eyes widened. Yusei and Jaden looked at Yami curiously. Yugi started to look between me and Yami furiously.
Before they could ask questions. I quickly said "But you will follow my orders when I say stay here!"
"No!" They shouted. I lunged at them and conver Yami and Jaden's mouth and gave my deluxe I-will-kill-you-if-you-don't-shut-up glare at Yusei. Yusei cower and Yami narrowed his eyes at me, but not in a glare. Jaden eyes filled with confusion.
"Do yo want him to hear you?" I whisper shouted at them. I roughly lifted my hands from their mouths and glared.
"You better be thankful that his hearing and eye sight are terrible!" I continued. "He relies on smell, so get away or stay here, because you're not what he is after." I kept my voice as calm as I could, but their stubbornness is starting to really annoy me.
"Why is he after you?" Jaden whispered.
"Later!" I yelped, when I heard a baritone roar. He smelt me... I swiftly turned and sprinted out of the alley and started to run down where we were before.
"Stay Here!" I commanded at them, while sprinting out the alley to the street. The Minotaur was standing in the middle of the street, huffing and puffing.
"You looking for me?" I yelled at him. "Haven't I dealt with you already?" The Minotaur swiftly turned and snarled at me, his mouth dripping with yellow colored saliva. He started to charge at me and I stood, my sword pointed, waiting.
At the last second, I jumped out-of-the-way, he crashed into a light pole. I giggled at him when the light pole broke in half and fell on top of him. The Minotaur pushed the pole off and charged at me again, but this time he held his arms out and punched me in the gut, knocking me through a brick wall.
"Ow." I blurted. Unknown to me, the others came out once they heard me shouting at the Minotaur. They stared at the brick wall thinking I was crushed by the impact. Wrong...
I stood up and walked out of the hole I created and faced the Minotaur, brushing off some rumble that landed on me from the broken brick.
"Even you can't be stupid enough to forget!" I chided the monster. "I still bear the curse!" I took a quick glance to the alley where the guys were supposed to be in, to see them out of the alley. When I very clearly said to stay! They were watching with confused and baffled expressions.
Probably because I just crashed through a brick wall, and walked out like nothing happened. i also just yelled "I still bear the curse!"... Oh Gods I am such a Seaweed Brain... I sighed.
The Minotaur suddenly turned toward the others and stared to charge. The others got frightened looks on their faces (and for a good reason too!) and stepped back.
"Oh Hades..." I sighed. I capped Riptide and started to sprint along the side of a building. I jumped and kicked off the side of the building, effectually getting a great air boost. I twirled mid-air also uncapping Riptide and began to slash downwards. I slashed my blade through his right collar, all the way to his left kneecap. Riptide cut through without any problem. Halfway through, the Minotaur burst into the very familiar yellow dust and scattered.
I capped Riptide, put it in my left jacket pocket, and put both my hands on my knees, letting myself panting, desperate for oxygen. Well that's over...
