Duke drives us to the train station in his car, while Rebecca and Professor Halkins stayed behind in the trailer. We grab our luggage and head over to the train. There are not too many people here, but I wouldn't call it almost empty. "So how long is this train ride?" Tea asks.
"A few hours." Duke says.
"Ugh, that's too long for me."
"We better start boarding. The train's going to leave soon." I say.
"Right. Take care of Rebecca and Professor Halkins, Duke!" Tristan says.
Yami is still quite silent since the loss of Yugi. I decided to take over Sabrina's body to keep him company mostly. And besides, the sight of Sabrina may remind him of Yugi, and that's the last thing he needs to think about more. The five of us board the train and put our luggage in one of the compartments then sit down in one of the carts. I sit next to Yami, while Tea, Joey, and Tristan sit across from us. The train starts moving and we begin our journey to the airport.
Yami is still silent and just stares at his lap the entire time. It's a really depressing sight, but he is depressed, so I guess that's only natural. I can't stand the sight of this anymore, "Yami, you can't sulk around forever. Yugi is going to come back to us, but you have to have faith. We're all here for you, I'm here for you." I say.
He sighs and stands up, "You wouldn't understand." He says walking away. He walks up to the front of the cart, opens the door, and then shuts it behind him.
I know he's mad at himself and depressed, but he doesn't have to act like that. "I don't get it, why won't he let us help him?" I ask the others.
"I guess he feels that he needs ta fix dis on his own. He doesn't want us to interfere." Joey says.
I just nod and look out the window. Twenty minutes pass by and Yami still isn't back yet. I start to worry a bit and look over the seats, "I'm surprised he's not back yet." I say.
"Wait; wasn't this cart filled with people a minute ago?" Tea asks.
The four of us stand up and see that the entire cart is empty. We decide to look around and find all of the other carts empty. We go back to the cart we were in to find Yami coming out of the room he was in the entire time, "Yami, have you seen anyone leave the train?" I ask.
"No, why?" he says.
"'Cause dis train is completely empty! I bet its dat biker gang that caused this!" Joey says.
"I bet they're still on the train! We might be able to find them!" Tristan says.
Yami's face rises in anger and then runs off to another cart. I run after him and the others follow. As I run to the next cart, the bolts buckle and the carts begin to separate. Yami notices this and looks over, "Grab my hand!" he yells.
I grab a hold of his hand and he pulls me over to the front half. Tea, Tristan, and Joey are on the other half, "What now?!" Tristan yells.
"Go get help!" Yami yells back. His attention moves over to me, "You alright?"
"Fine. Let's see if we can stop the train." I say.
He nods and we head over to the front. We reach the outside of the cart, and there's no door to reach the conductors cabin. "Any ideas?" I ask.
He hops over the railing and reaches a latter, "There's got to be an emergency hatch on the top of this thing. Maybe I can get inside." He says as he climbs the latter.
"Okay, be careful."
He gets to the top of the train and I begin to climb the latter next. "Weevil Underwood?" I hear Yami say.
I reach the top of the latter and look up to see Weevil at the top of the train, "Weevil, we don't have time for whatever you want." I say.
"I want a rematch with the King of Games. And now I have a new secret weapon." Weevil reaches into his pocket and pulls out one of those Orichalcos stones.
"You're being brainwashed!" Yami says.
I climb to the top of the train and stand next to Yami. The wind is really hard against my body and it seems like one wrong move and I could go flying, "Weevil, you know that the loser is going to lose their soul, so your throwing your own life away right now!" I say.
"It's not my life, it's his! I think it's time for him to be reunited with his friend Yugi!" Weevil says.
"What have you done with him?!" Yami yells.
"The only way to find out is to duel me!"
"Fine, let's duel!"
I notice that Weevil also has that dark Duel Disk like those others guys had. "Ari, get back inside the train." Yami says.
"What?"
"Get inside now! There's no telling what Weevil could do."
"I'm not going to leave you here alone! What if you fall off or something?"
"That's why I'm telling you to go inside, the same to happen to you!"
"There's a duel in progress here!" Weevil yells, "I get the first move, so I think I'll play the Seal of Orichalcos!"
The Seal forms around Weevil and then grows so it fits around him and Yami. It hits me like a punch in the face and sends me backwards. I don't have a lot of reaction time, but I manage to grab the edge of the cart behind us. My hand starts slipping through, but I try to balance myself onto the cart. "Are you alright?!" Yami shouts.
"I-I'm good." I say.
"It's still my move!" Weevil says, "I summon Pheromone Wasp and it gains 500 attack from the Seal! Now I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn."
"I summon Obnoxious Celtic Guardian in attack mode! Now, attack his Wasp!" Yami says.
"Activate Mimesis! Now I can return my Wasp to my hand and then summon Parasite Caterpillar in its place! And since you attacked it, my Caterpillar will infect your monster, now you can't tribute, attack, or defend with it! My turn again, so I summon Pheromone Wasp back to the field and have him attack you directly! And since it did a direct attack, then I can summon Leghul and activate Insect Barrier!"
Yami is down to 2700 Life Points. "I play Polymerization to fuse Curse of Dragon and Gaia the Fierce Knight from my hand in order to summon Gaia the Dragon Champion! Gaia, attack his Leghul!" Yami says.
"You triggered my trap, DNA Surgery! This changes every monster on the field into an insect and my Insect Barrier will protect me! Now it's my turn again and I activate Cell Division! So now I can create a token matching the stats of my Leghul, and then tribute it along with my Wasp to summon Insect Queen! And now Leghul can attack you directly! Then I'll sacrifice Leghul so my Insect Queen can attack your Dragon Champion!"
Yami is down to 1200. And Weevil gets an Insect Token via Insect Queen's effect. "At this rate, I'll become the new King of Games!" Weevil says.
"You're just a power-hungry worm Weevil." Yami says.
"Really? And what would that make you? You're the one who activated the Seal of Orichalcos just because you needed power and you lost your best friend in the process. Without Yugi around, you're just a power-hungry, cold-hearted, fool!"
"That's not true! He'll never drop down to your level!" I shout.
"Say what you will now, but you'll have a change of heart once he loses!" Weevil says.
"Enough! This duel is still on, so I summon Kuriboh in defense mode! Then I'll set one card face-down and end my turn." Yami says.
"My move-!"
"Activate Natural Selection! Now I can clone your Insect Queen and destroy the original!"
"Fine, I'll sacrifice my Insect Token in order to summon Armored Centipede! Now, destroy his Kuriboh! And now your trap card wears off, so now your Insect Queen clone gets destroyed. And since three turns have passed since your Obnoxious Celtic Guardian was infected with my cocoon, it gets transformed into Poison Butterfly!"
"That won't concern me now, because I play the Eye of Timaeus! Now I fuse him with my Poison Butterfly to form-!" Timaeus goes to fuse with it and then disappears.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Oh, this is too rich! Don't you remember when you betrayed all of your monsters in that one duel? Looks like Timaeus still doesn't appreciate you!" Weevil says. Yami ends his turn and Poison Butterfly's effect activates, causing him to lose 500 Life Points, bringing him to 700. Weevil sets a card and ends his turn.
"My move now, so I summon Breaker the Magical Warrior!"
"Activate Infestation! This card will take 100 attack points from each of our monsters and then subtract the total from our Life Points!"
Weevil is at 3800 while Yami has 500. "And I think there's something you'd want to see Pharaoh." Weevil says, "In my pocket is the card that can save Yugi," he grabs the card from his pocket and shows us the back of it, "I don't think your worthy of this though, so time to say goodbye to Yugi forever!" he tears the card in half.
"NO!" Yami shouts.
"Yugi, you can't be gone!" I say.
"HEHE, don't you idiots know a trick when you see one? I tore up a useless bug card, so guys are so dense."
That wasn't cool. "Weevi, you'll pay dearly for that!" Yami says, "It's still my turn, so I use Breaker the Magical Warrior's special ability in order to destroy your Insect Barrier! Now Poison Butterfly, attack his Centipede!" Weevil has 3700 left, "And now, Breaker, attack him directly!" Weevil now has 2200.
"You don't have any more monsters though, so Poison Butterfly takes the rest of your Life Points!" Weevil says
"Guess again, I activate Berserker Soul! By discarding my entire hand, I can draw until I get a magic or trap card. And if I get a monster, then Breaker can continue to attack you. I draw Queen's Knight!" Weevil has 700 left. "And my next card is Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts!" Weevil's Life Points drop to 0.
"Next I draw Big Shield Gardna!" Breaker attacks again. Why is he still attacking? He already won.
"Next is Gamma the Magnet Warrior!" another attack.
I get up onto my feet and hop down onto the latter. I climb the latter and get onto the cart Yami and Weevil are on. Luckily, the Seal is shrinking since Yami already won. Yami continues to attack Weevil though, "Yami stop it!" I grab his arm to get his attention.
"Let go of me!" he snaps back.
"Just stop it! You've already won, and you've made your point! You're scaring me, and your letting your rage get the best of you, so please, stop it."
He begins to calm down and the Seal disappears. Yami rushes up to Weevil, "Tell me where Yugi is!" he shouts.
I walk up to him, "The Orichalcos already took him, there's nothing you can do now." I say.
The train begins to buckle and tilt slightly, "What happening?" I ask.
The train then derails and slides toward a cliff. Yami grabs a hold of my arm to keep me near him, and then we fall over the cliff.
The laziness is still getting the better of me. I'm trying to muster the strength (or whatever you want to call it) to get through with this, but my laziness says not to, and my brother is also on extreme annoyance mode and he bothers me a TON when I try to work on these chapters, so I'm trying to avoid that. But I did however, use my time wisely and saw Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, and plus wrote this chapter too.
