Chapter 39-Long Chapter
Roland was driving heading towards the Domino hospital so Seto can get some information on his little brother. How could this happen? Why his little brother? Why can't they just go after him instead and leave his brother alone? First, Pegasus ends up taking him, then those two rare hunter clowns, Lumis and Umbra (that's how you spell it right?), then with Noah…
"I'm sure will find him Seto," smiled Michelle, "Will find this guy that took you're brother…"
"Thanks for caring and I really appreciate it, but right now, this has to end," said Seto angry tapping his foot, "This hocus pocus has to end now! I need to know what's really going on with that Aeru and those cheerleaders back at Yugi's place…"
Seto: But I can't believe Yugi lost twice to his title! The fool is a disgrace! He doesn't deserve to be the king of games! But that dark Egyptian god card that Aeru played…it took out Yugi's three Egyptian god cards with just one turn and finished him off…If I were to get my hands on three of those cards…I can beat Yugi, earn three of his gods, and become, not the king of games, but the God of Games!
"Something on you're mind Seto," asked Michelle.
Seto shook his head and continued tapping his foot. How long till they get there? Just then, Roland suddenly stepped on the break and Seto and Michelle fell off their seat. Seto fell on the floor with a THUD and Michelle fell on top of him. Michelle and Seto opened their eyes and saw each other, close. Michelle quickly got up and blushed bright red. Seto was nearly blushing, but then grabbed the phone that was attached to his seat and contact Roland at the driver seat.
"Roland! Why did you stop like that," yelled Seto.
"S-Sir, w-we got, s-some problem h-here," said Roland sounding nervous. Seto hanged up the phone and stepped outside. Michelle followed behind and standing in front of the car were two hooded duelists.
"You two! Who are you," yelled Seto, "Wait a minute. You work for Aeru right?"
"That is correct Mr. Kaiba," said the first hooded figure, "We work for Aeru…"
"And we have a little present for you Mr. Kaiba," said the second hooded figure. He pulled a small child with long black hair. It was Mokuba!
"Release him you two! Or else you'll have to face me in a duel," yelled Seto, "He has nothing to do with this!"
"Of course not. But you do," yelled the first hooded duelist, "Orders from Master Aeru, says to get you're attention…"
"Well you got my attention now you idiots," yelled Seto.
"Tsk tsk tsk," said the second hooded duelist holding Mokuba tight, "Don't yell at us Mr. Kaiba, we're just doing our job."
"Accept my challenge you two! I can face you by myself! Because I carry powerful cards in my deck, so let's see if you can handle me," yelled Seto putting on his duel-disk.
'Ha ha ha," laughed the first hooded figure, "You would like that would you?"
"No way Mr. Kaiba, I'm not letting you duel alone against these freaks," said Michelle putting on her duel-disk. She then stick her tongue at them and gave a small grin, "There's no way you can beat us you hooded freaks!"
"Kaiba's got a girlfriend," said the second hooded figure, "Wow, I thought he had dating problems or something…"
"I'M NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND," yelled Michelle and at the same time, Seto yelled, "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" The two looked at each other and then looked away blushing.
"Ha ha ha! Isn't this romantic," laughed the first hooded figure, I wonder what would happen if I did…THIS!"
The hooded figure dashed towards Michelle and grabbed her. Seto looked behind and then the hooded figure stopped and was holding Michelle's arm tight. Michelle was trying to break free and Seto got angrier.
"Release them both," yelled Seto.
"You got a choice! Who do you want? You're one and only family member? Or this girl," said the first figure grinning.
Seto looked behind him and saw Mokuba knocked out and looked back facing Michelle was trying to break free. He had a choice, a choice he hated to be in…
"Tick, tock, tick, tock, DING! Time's up! Who do you pick," grinned the first figure.
"Pick Mokuba Seto! He's you're only brother," pleaded Michelle, "Save him first!"
Seto didn't respond and remained silent. The two hooded figures then gave aloud dark laugh. Seto couldn't choose, not like this, not ever.
"Looks like he doesn't care…let's go," laughed the hooded figure. The two hooded figures threw a small silver ball at the ground and a huge dark cloud covered the second hooded figure and Mokuba and both disappeared. Then, the black smoke appeared around the first hooded figure and Michelle, and both of them were about to disappear. Seto quickly ran up to Michelle and tried to grab her, but was too late and fell on the floor.
"Seto," cried Michelle.
"I'm sorry…Michelle…but I'll-"
The smoke disappeared and everything cleared up. Seto got up on his feet and walked up to the car.
"Sir," said Roland coming out of the car.
"It's ok…those freaks have them now…but I-I'll come to them, I'll rescue them," said Seto heading inside the limo. Roland never saw Mr. Kaiba like this. Roland gave a small chuckle and did some thinking.
Roland: Mr. Kaiba must really like that girl, I wonder how should I make the two get together? I'll find a way once Mr. Kaiba gets her back and Mr. Mokuba too.
Roland went back inside the limo and change their direction to Kaiba Corp. Seto wanted to head back there because he need to check something up, something back at Duelist Kingdom.
The next day…
Yami and the gang were walking down the streets of Domino heading to back to Duelist Kingdom. They went inside the airport and showed their passes at the counter. Marik, Ishizu, and Odion wanted to go with since they too had some questions to ask.
"We would like to take a plane that will be heading towards Duelist Kingdom please," said Tea.
"Duelists Kingdom? No plane never heads there miss, Mr. Pegasus lives there," said the counter lady.
"But Pegasus know us and we know him," said Yami stepping forward. The counter lady saw Yami and then, she gave a huge scream and had bright stars in her eyes.
"It's the king of games," cried the lady, "Please! Can I get you're autograph?"
Everyone in the airport turned around facing at Yami and the gang. Tristan, Duke, and Joey surrounded the gang so no one can get through them. Soon after, everyone went after them and the gang soon ran for their life.
"AAAHHH! THIS IS BAD," yelled Joey running around the airport.
"YOU TELLING ME! WHY COULDN'T YUGI OR THE PHARAOH BE A CHEF? OR A RACE CAR DIVER," cried Tristan running with Joey.
"I SHOULD HAVE STAYED AT YUGI'S PLACE," cried Duke running with the two boys.
"THIS WAY PHARAOH," yelled Tea grabbing Yami and running away from the mob.
"PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE! ALL I WANT IS TO GO TO DUELIST KINGDOM," yelled Yami.
Ryou just stood there seeing his five friends running around the airport and gave a small sigh. Marik gave a small chuckle, Ishizu smiled seeing everyone having a good time running around, and Odion just shook his head smiling.
"Great, now it's going to take us awhile to get there," said Ryou. Ryou turned around to face a little and tried to beg her to get them tickets heading to Duelist Kingdom.
"Please miss, we need nine tickets heading to Duelist Kingdom," begged Ryou.
"I'm sorry sir, but like I said to that miss over there running with the king of games, our planes don't go to Duelist Kingdom unless you've been invited over there," said the young lady.
There was bright light coming out of Ryou's Millennium Ring and Bakura appeared with an angry look on his face and slammed his hand at the counter.
"You listen to me fool! You give us the tickets or else I will steal you're soul and banish it to the shadow realm where you will remain there for all eternity in the darkness while you're body becomes weak and fall into a coma, and then, I'll take you're body, bury you in the dark cemetery, release you're soul and die in a gruesome way with thousands of insects in you're coffin and stay in there until you are nothing but dust," yelled Bakura.
The ladies eyes got wider her and quickly tried to find a plane that was heading towards Duelists Kingdom and got nine tickets and quickly handed it them to Bakura. Bakura gave a huge grin and left the counter and gave a loud whistle. The gang looked at him and saw Bakura holding nine tickets. The gang quickly headed towards Bakura and Bakura quickly gave the nine tickets the ticket man and all the nine went through the bridge that was connected to the plane and sat in their seats. The pilots came in and closed the door and went to the pilot seat and started the engines. The plane moved back and started heading towards the road where the planes take off and land. As soon as they reached a huge long road, the engine gave a huge zoom and the plane was now up in the sky.
Later on…
The plane landed and soon gave a stop. Everyone got off and returned back to Duelist Kingdom, again. The gang walked up to the castle that was seating up in the hill and it was Déjà vu all over again. Tristan and Joey were complaining yet again if they were there yet, and of course, everyone yelled "NO!" They finally reached the castle and Yami went up to the door and knocked.
"Pegasus! We're back! And we need some answers," yelled Yami banging on the door. Yami soon stepped back and the huge doors soon began to open. Everyone walked in and as soon as they stepped in, Pegasus yelled a long "Hello" to everyone.
"Yugi boy! And you're friends! Welcome back," said Pegasus.
"Now is not the time Pegasus. We're to ask you some questions, again," said Yami.
"Spill it Yugi boy," smiled Pegasus.
Yami, Joey, Marik and Ryou took out their knight cards and handed it all to Pegasus. Pegasus sat down where his long table was and soon after, everyone sat down and waited for him.
"Hmmm. This is the real deal," said Pegasus, "But my. Where is the other knight?"
Just then, the doors burst open and Seto came in and soon reached the dining table where everyone was. He looked around and saw everyone here. He gave an annoying sigh and saw Pegasus examining the knights.
"Pegasus," said Seto, "I'm here to ask you questions!"
"What is it? Question Day? Everyone is visiting me nowadays," said Pegasus still examining the knights, "What brings you here Kaiba boy?"
"Tech, I'm here just to ask you about your partner, Kenta," said Seto.
"Why do you want to know? Oh, do you have the last knight Kaiba boy," asked Pegasus.
"Forget it Pegasus, I'm not letting you have you're greedy hands on my card," yelled Seto.
"You really are a handful Kaiba boy," laughed Pegasus.
"Well," asked Joey, "Anything Pegasus?"
"Well, by the looks of things, these knights almost look like a puzzle, I'm trying to figure out what they mean," said Pegasus, "But the only way to figure them out is if I can just have a good look of Seto's card."
"Give him the card rich boy," said Joey.
"No way dog. I'm not letting listening to you, in a matter of fact, I never listen to you mutt," said Seto not even looking at him.
"Kaiba. I don't know what you're problem is, but right now, we got to find Aeru, so just listen to Pegasus and hand him you're card," yelled Marik.
"Forget it," yelled Seto, "I don't know who you punks think you are, but I'm not letting Pegasus look at my card, not even if all off you roll over and play dead like Joey mutt over here…"
"Hey," yelled Joey.
"Nice comeback mutt," smiled Seto.
"Seto, please, just give Pegasus the card. All he wants is just to look at it," pleaded Tea.
"Kaiba, if you hand over you're card to Pegasus, I promise you when we find Aeru, you can beat him by yourself and earn his three god cards and face me in a duel and earn the king of games title," said Yami getting annoyed.
"What," yelled Tristan.
"Heh, you think I'm stupid Yugi? I saw what that Dark God Card did to you, it finished you off with just one attack, it completely destroyed you," laughed Seto, "But thanks for your charity, hahaha!"
Just then, yet again, the door burst open and everyone looked at the front door to see who it was. Again, this annoyed Pegasus.
"Again? Who keeps coming? Is it really, Ask Pegasus Your Questions day? Because this is beginning to make go crazy," said Pegasus rubbing his forehead.
Three people stepped in the castle, one was a short dude, with a large brown spiky hair and had goggles on his forehead, a white shirt with a red vest over it, blue baggy jeans and brown shoes. The second guy wore a small purple tank top that almost looked pretty tight on him, black jeans, and black boots, and the third guy had blonde spiky hair, wore a brown tank top, a long black coat over it, black jeans, and brown boots.
"Alister! Rafael! Valon," yelled Seto, Joey, and Yami.
"You three are the real deal right," asked Tristan putting his fist together.
"Relax mate. We're the real ones alright," said Valon smiling.
"Of course, I can tell…for one thing, it's the real Rafael," said Yami, "The Rafael we meet awhile back was a shadow when we faced him…"
"Because nearly half of his face was nothing but a shadow with only a red eye, while his other half had my face…right pharaoh," said Rafael. Yami nodded and Seto just slammed his hand on the table.
"What are you freaks doing here," yelled Seto.
"Kaiba boy! Stop yelling and banging your hand on my table," pleaded Pegasus, "I sometimes wonder you…"
"Yeah Kaiba, what's your problem," asked Duke.
"Did something happened while you were away," asked Ishizu.
"Shut up! All I'm here for is answers from Pegasus," yelled Seto.
"Then fire away Kaiba boy if it'll make you be quiet," sighed Pegasus.
"Tell me about your partner, Kenta…or this Aeru! Whatever! I need answers about the dark gods he created," said Seto calming down a bit.
"Didn't you pay attention to my story Kaiba boy? I know nothing about those god cards! All I know is that he found an upside down pyramid hanging around his neck like Yugi's boy over there and these knights," said Pegasus.
"I don't believe you," yelled Seto.
"Um…is anyone going to ask us why we're here," said Alister crossing his arms.
"There is sort of a fight over here, so you're going to wait for awhile," sighed Tea.
"Actually…yeah…I forgot what happen to you guys," said Tristan, "Weren't you guys captured by Aeru? Or something like that?"
"We nearly got away mate from the blasted lunatic," said Valon pointing his thumb outside.
"So that means you know the location of his base right," yelled Yami getting up from his chair.
"We can describe it to ya mate," said Valon.
"But we can't give out the EXACT location of his base," said Rafael.
"That means we can save Serenity and Yugi too," said Ryou.
"Hang on sis! I'm on my way," yelled Joey running outside.
"But Joey, they said they don't know the exact location of their base," said Odion, "So the means that we might be heading to the right direction, but we're not to sure…"
"It's better then sitting around here doing nothing," yelled Joey, "I gotta save my sister from that punk!"
"For one thing Mr. Wheeler, all of you can't face Aeru alone," said an unknown voice. Everyone looked around to see who said that, but didn't find the person. Just then, a portal appeared from the wall on the left side of the castle and the person who came out was Shadi.
"Ah! My good ol' friend Shadi," laughed Pegasus clapping his hands.
"Shadi…been awhile," said Ishizu.
"Great! More people who believe in mystical magic," said Seto annoyed, "Just what I need.."
"Even if you brave duelists find Aeru's base, you cannot win alone," said Shadi.
"What you mean? You don't think we have a chance to win this fight," asked Tea.
"I am not putting it like that, but I'm saying, the pharaoh won't win alone…even if you guys fight along side him," said Shadi.
"So, your trying to say…we need more help if we want to beat Aeru," asked Yami.
"That is correct…you must called the Spirit Guardians to help you," said Shadi.
"Who are these Spirit Guardians," asked Alister.
"They are duelists, nearly as strong as all of you, but their spirit is filled with so much determination. You may think, some, are weak, some, are annoying, but when you realize and know more about them, you see their determination of a true duelists…not that they want to win, but to prove they have the strength to go on either they win…or they lose," explained Shadi.
"But we don't know who these Spirit Guardians are," said Joey.
"But you do KNOW them Mr. Wheeler," said Shadi, "It doesn't have to be strong duelists, but strong spirited duelists…such as your friends…"
"You mean…THEM," asked Yami.
Shadi nodded and everyone looked at him in a confused way. Joey scratched his head confused while the other kept thinking what Shadi was talking about.
"Spirit Guardians…strong spirited duelists that have strong determination to prove themselves that they have the strength to go on, regardless if they win or they lose," said Yami, "I know now…"
"What? What is it pharaoh," asked Tea, "Do we know these Guardians?"
"Yes…a lot of them…for one thing, it's you three," said Yami facing the three biker gangs. Valon shrugged his shoulders and Alister thought for a moment.
"It has to be it. You three must be one of the Spirit Guardians," said Yami, "Three of you once wanted to win when you sided with Dartz…even though it meant losing your soul. You had strong determination to fight against us and win…"
Shadi nodded and everyone did some thinking of other people that had a strong will of dueling. Seto on the other hand had enough of this non-sense and looked at Pegasus.
"This is getting out of control! I'm surrounded by punks who believe in magic, a heart-of-the-cards freak, Spirit Guardians that don't even exist! This is trying my nuts," yelled Seto.
"Would you just shut up and accept it Kaiba," yelled Tea.
Everyone looked at Tea, except for Yami. Yami heard her yell once like this to him…when he lost to Aeru and all. Everyone rubbed their eyes and some pinched themselves because Tea, would never, ever, ever, ever, EVER, yell like this.
"Who would you act like a human being for once and stop thinking these things are impossible," yelled Tea, "You experienced these, 'hocus pocus' once before! So if you want to get more information on Aeru and fight him, I suggest you give Pegasus the damn stupid Knight card, or else I'm going to kick your small business ass out of here!"
Everyone just stared at Tea, they would also, never hear Tea curse like that too. This world was getting out of control. Tea closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Tea may talk a lot of friendship stuff and all, but if you get into her bad side, screw the friendship! Say hello to the butt kicking ship. Seto took out his Knight Card from his dueling deck and handed it to Pegasus. Pegasus examined it and set it down on the table with the rest of the other Knights. He moved them around and put them by their order. Pegasus placed Odin and Gilgamesh, in front of him, next, he placed Lance on the bottom of the two dark knights, then, he placed Storm on the left side where he put the two dark knights and Lance, he placed them underneath Odin and Gilgamesh, but on top of Lance, so it was between them, after that, he placed Blaze on his right side, and then, he placed the last knight card, Giga on the center. Pegasus thought for a moment and solved the puzzle. He clapped his hands together and everyone went up to hear what he found out.
"It's a map," clapped Pegasus, "Look, by setting up their formation and looking at the clues, I think we found where Aeru's base is!"
"How can ya tell? All I see is our cards," said Joey trying to look carefully.
"Look at their background," said Pegasus, "Each show a castle behind them, but if you look more closely, you can tell that each knight is wearing a different kind of armor and behind them, each lived in a different time period and lived in different castles."
"How is it a map," asked Tristan, "Its only teaching my history…"
"Alright, let me try to explain in as easy as I can for you slow learners," sighed Pegasus, "Look, each point out a location of one of the castles in the card. If you can make their castles and time period, you bound to know where Aeru's base is!"
"English please," asked Duke. This was annoying Pegasus know, how could these people not understand what his saying?
"Alright, let me try again," said Pegasus, "The two dark knights, what do they remind you off?"
"The Black Knight," asked Tea.
"Bingo! They may not look like it, since they are a creation of Duel Monsters, but they are the Black Knights and when there are Black Knights, that means…"
"They existed in France," said Tea.
"Exactly! Why? Long ago in France, there were knights who were strong, noble, and big, and soon after, those big, strong, noble knights became the Black Knights. They were called the Black Knights because enemies trick people to thick they were evil and force them to leave the country…"
"History lesson…I'm going to bed," yawned Joey. Joey went up to a couch and fell asleep, while Pegasus continued. Though this was pretty pointless to Kaiba since all he wanted is to find Aeru and save Michelle and Mokuba.
"For Lance, think about his name," said Pegasus.
"Lance is a sort of like a spear, it's a long pointed rod used for a weapon right," asked Tea.
"Geek alert," laughed Tristan and Duke.
"Oh shut up you two," glared Tea.
The two boys fell silent and Pegasus nodded, "That's right, and where was the Lance first made?"
"Rome, Italy, (Is it Rome? I hate history, but I'm doing the best I can. So if I say something that doesn't make sense to you, you can blame me because it's my fault for putting all this history crap in this chapter. Sorry! I don't really like History because you learn the past and it makes me go to sleep, lol) because over there, it was known as a Javelin," said Tea.
"Great! Boy, you know a lot of these things," laughed Pegasus, "Now for the tricky part, these three knights…Storm, Giga, and Blaze…"
"This is one is hard," said Ryou, "I can understand the North and the south, but these three I don't understand…"
"If the Black Knights were north, and Rome is south, lets see," think Tristan.
"France is north and Rom is south, duh! Because of course, France is farther away from Rome, put more up north than them," said Seto.
"It's these three knights I don't understand…what are saying Aeru? What do they mean? Wind…Fire…Life," said Pegasus thinking.
"Unless Aeru is trying to take us far away," said Yami.
Everyone looked at Yami and Pegasus gave a shrug to him. How could Pegasus be wrong?
"The Dark Knight could also mean something…it could mean the army of Anubis, the black creatures of the underworld," said Yami.
"Of course! And the light…Lance…Ra," yelled Marik.
"How could we not see it," said Odion.
"What are you saying you two," asked Tea.
"Lance is light correct? Aeru could be trying to take us to the wrong path by sending us to many places and never find him…but let me explain of Lance. Again, Lance is light, correct? Think of a creature who is light," explained Ishizu.
"Ra," said Yami, "The Egyptian God, Ra…"
"The dark knights, Odin and Gilgamesh could mean, Chons and Troth, the two mood gods of Egypt," said Ishizu.
"But I thought Troth meant wisdom," asked Yami.
"It does, but also the moon god," said Ishizu.
"Then explain the other three," said Duke.
"Giga…the knight of Life could also be Ka," said Marik.
"Ka is an Egyptian name for the vital force of life," said Odion, "It could also be the Nile River, because the Nile River brought life to Egypt."
"And the other knights," asked Ryou.
"Wind and Fire…the sand storm of Egypt…and burning sun of Egypt," said Ishizu, "Because in Egypt, sometimes, strong winds appear and create and sandstorm, and for fire…let's say it is really hot over there."
"So Egypt…then," whispered Yami.
"How couldwe miss it," yelled Marik, "Aeru wants to earn the powers of the pharaoh, Aeru created three Dark God Cards, he created the Dark Millennium items…of course! How could we miss it…"
"Then were heading to Egypt! All right! Will be able to get Yugi back," cheered Tea.
"But first things first duelists, you must ask for some help, you must ask the Spirit Guardians to help you," explained Shadi.
"So I guess that means were heading back to Domino City and getting some friends," said Tristan, "Yo Joey! Wake up man! I think we found the location of Aeru!"
Joey was still asleep and everyone just stared at him. Tea walked away and a few minutes, came back with a bucket filled with cold water and dumped it all over Joey. Joey quickly woke up shivering and Pegasus screamed in horror.
"You wet my couch! How could you," cried Pegasus.
"Cold…so cold," said Joey freezing. Tea gave an innocent smile and went away to put the bucket away.
"So Aeru's base is at Egypt huh? Heh, later freaks, I'm off to stop him, but first, give me that back," laughed Seto as he picked up his knight card and left the castle.
"Strange," said Rafael.
"What," asked Valon.
"When we left Aeru's base…but we weren't in Egypt, at least, I don't think," thought Rafael.
"Maybe we left on a island somewhere in the ocean, but it's near Egypt," said Alister.
"Maybe, but for some reason, how could I forget where his base was," asked Rafael to himself. The other two bikers and thought for a while to see if they remembered anything, but failed.
"Yeah…me too," said Alister, "I can't remember where his base was, we left, and we were piloting the helicopter, so how could we forget," asked Alister.
"Something made us forget? Or do we have short-term memory loss," asked Valon.
At that same time…
Dartz was holding his Dark Millennium Rod up in the air and the Dark Rod was giving a bright dark light. Soon after, Dartz brought the Dark Millennium Rod down and put it away in his robe and walked up to Aeru.
"Those fools nearly found our base, but who cares? Those other duelists know where our base is now," yelled Dartz.
"They almost fell to out trap, but one thing is certain, they won't find our base. They may have found our location, but they don't know where we REALLY are," laughed Aeru.
Two hooded duelists appeared and kneeled to Aeru and removed their hoods. The first hooded duelists had short spiky hair and had shiny black eyes and for the second hooded duelists, his skin was dark brown and had brown eyes. You couldn't really see their clothes since they were wearing a black robe.
"Mikey! Vince! Brought the package,"asked Aeru.
"Of course Master Aeru," nodded Mikey, the first hooded duelists. He got up and walked away. A few minutes later, be brought in a tall girl and a small boy inside the chamber. The girl had long light brown hair, amazing light brown eyes, she wore a yellow shirt with a chibi kid on front, wore long blue baggy jeans, and was wearing high heels. The small boy was wearing a yellow jacket and a long sleeve underneath with white and blue strips on it and was knocked out. Mikey was holding them tightly and Michelle was trying to break free from his tight grip.
"Let me go! Let me go you freak! When Seto gets, all of you are getting it," yelled Michelle.
Mikey whispered in her ear and Michelle stopped squirming and looked at Mikey in concern. Mikey whispered softly in her ear so Aeru and the others won't listen.
"Listen, please stop resisting. I don't want to hurt you, but I'm just doing my job. We have no attention of hurting you, honest," whispered Mikey.
"Well, if you have no attention of hurting me or Mokuba, then why did you bring us here," yelled Michelle, but trying to whisper.
"I told you, I'm doing my job."
Mikey continued walking towards Aeru and waited for Aeru's next command. Aeru did some thinking and went up to the two prisoners.
"Well, if it isn't Kaiba's girlfriend and his little brother," laughed Aeru.
"I'm not Kaiba's girlfriend," blushed Michelle, but still angry, "Why does everyone say that?"
"Kaiba has strong feelings for you," laughed Aeru.
This only made Michelle blush even more, but looked away not caring. Aeru continued laughing and ordered Vince to help Mikey put away the prisoners. Aeru walked towards Rafael, Alister, and Valon (the fake ones), and told them to come with him. The three followed Aeru with Dartz behind them back to the Millennium Item chamber where he created the Dark Millennium Items for Dartz, Mikey, and Vince. Now, it was their turn to get a prize.
"Since you two have been working hard, I've decided to give each and every one of you a Dark Millennium Item," said Aeru.
"Really? Gee mate! Thanks," smiled Valon.
Aeru faced forward and stared a round tomb of a pharaoh that had many holes in it. There were seven holes on the coffin and each one was in different places and had different shapes. In the center of the tomb had a shape of a triangle (Dark Millennium Puzzle), a shape of a circle at the top of the tomb, a shape of a long rod (Dark Millennium Rod) where the hand is on tomb, a shape of a scale on the other hand of the tomb, a shape of a circle (the Dark Millennium Necklace), and another circle but with long thin triangles attached to it (Dark Millennium Ring), and last but not least, there was a shape of some kind of symbol, it was almost like a cross but on top of the symbol, it had a thin circle on top. Aeru did a small chat and a huge black smoke appeared on the ground spreading around the room, to the walls, up in the ceiling, everywhere! Aeru kept chanting and chanting and soon, all the black smoke headed towards the tomb and filled up three of the shapes on the tomb. When Aeru finished chanting, the black smoke cleared away and there were three black items on top that filled up the shape. A black circle appeared where a eye shape on it at the top of the tomb, a black scale appeared on the right side of the tomb, and a shape of a cross with a thin circle on top on the center where he created the puzzle, the necklace, and the ring (the Dark versions). Aeru took the Black Items out and went up to Shadow Rafael first.
"Rafael, you have earned yourself, the Dark Millennium Eye, use it wisely for it can do more than read the thoughts of your opponent, but can feel their emotions, and also, the ability to control the duel," explained Aeru. Rafael took the eye and placed it on his red eye. Rafael was kneeling on ground groaning in pain, but after a few seconds, it disappeared, and the black Millennium Eye was now his new eye, and soon after, his face recovered and covered his shadow (remember in chapter 18, Yami and everyone saw Rafael was a shadow when they saw half of his face was nothing a black shadow with just a red eye?). His face was recovered, but the only thing that was not recovered was his Dark Millennium Eye, because one thing, he lost his eye when Rafael placed it in his eye. Aeru handed Alister the Dark Millennium Scale and handed Valon the Dark Millennium Key (The cross with the thin circle on top).
"Alister, you now hold the Dark Millennium Scale, the ability to tell who is lying to telling the truth," explained Aeru, "It may sound weak and not a special item, but if you let the scale fuse with you, you have the power of darkness to make people lie and tell the truth, and…if you challenge your opponent to a duel with this Dark Millennium Item, and you win, your opponent will be devoured in the shadows and you become stronger with every soul you have.
Alister gave a small grin and examined the scale. He couldn't wait to try it out and gave a small laugh. Valon looked at his Dark Millennium Item and wondered what it did.
"Valon, you hold the last Millennium Item, the Dark Millennium Key. The ability to control another, and enter the minds of others, you can make others betray one another and make them fight each other," explained Aeru.
Valon put the Millennium Key around his neck and let it hang. The three shadow bikers looked at each other and looked at Aeru. All three of them bowed to Aeru and lowered there to him.
"Thank you…Master Aeru," said all three.
Meanwhile…
Vince was holding on Mokuba and Mikey was holding on Michelle. They walked that almost felt like hours until they reached the prison cells. Both placed them in the cell and locked the door. Michelle went up to bars to try to talk to them.
"Please! Tell me who you guys really are! Why are you doing this," yelled Michelle, "I may not know you guys, but from the way you guys act and by the look of your eyes, you guys are not really bad…"
"You want to know," asked Mikey. Michelle nodded and Vince put his hand on Mikey's shoulder.
"You sure your going to tell her our story? Think about it, if she knows, then she going to tell her friends," whispered Vince.
"I know, I know…but…she wants to know. Let's just tell her some of it, not everything," whispered Mikey.
Vince put his hand away and Mikey went up to Michelle. Mikeytook a deep breath and started to tell his tale.
"Before I meant Master Aeru, I meant a girl…a beautiful girl," whispered Mikey.
:Flashback:
Mikey was walking down the streets playing a Nintendo DS when all of a sudden, he ran into a girl. Both fell down on the ground and Mikey rubbed his head. He saw bags all over the ground and quickly picked them up.
"I am so sorry! Here, let me pick them up," said Mikey quickly trying to pick them up.
"It's ok! I didn't see where I was going, let me pick them up," said the person.
When they was only one bag left on the ground, Mikey was about to pick it up and so was the person. Before one of them could grab the bag, their hands met and both looked at each other. Mikey was amazed, to see a beautiful girl in front of him. She had long blonde hair, amazing sapphire eyes that could take your breath away. She wore a white tank top with a moon on it, and wore like a blue short skirt. Her legs were amazing, they were in nice shape, her skin was amazing, and her skin was light tan and was staring deeply at Mikey. Mikey nearly drooled , but quickly snapped out of it and picked up the bag. Both got up and Mikey handed her the bags.
"Sorry," said Mikey looking away from her, "Um, I wasn't paying attention…uh...yeah…"
"It's ok," smiled the girl. Her voice was soft and just right, it wasn't too high, but it wasn't too low. It was somewhere in the middle, and her voice sounded like it was perfect for singing.
"Um…my name is Mikey," said Mikey blushing.
"My name is Luna," smiled the girl. She put her bags and took out her hand to him. Mikey looked at her and looked at her and smiled. He grabbed her hand and both shook.
"Um…listen…if your not really busy…do you maybe…wanna get something to eat," said Mikey still blushing.
"I would love to," smiled Luna.
Months later…
Mikey and Luna have been going out for months now and were now a couple and both have been seeing one another non-stop, every single day. They talked to each online, on the phone, went on dates, watched movie, everything! One day, on a winter season, both stayed in a hotel, until one day…
"Hey, lunie, I'll be heading outside for a little while ok," said Mikey putting on his winter coat.
"Aw. Do you have to go," pleaded Lunie, "Stay here with me…"
"I wish I could, but I need to get something from the store, I promise I'll be back soon," smiled Mikey. Luna complained, but smiled back. She gave him a small peak on the lips and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Don't be gone too lone mister. I want you home as soon as possible," purred Luna. Mikey blushed bright and kissed her forehead and left the hotel.
As soon as got back from the store, cars were everywhere, Police tape surrounded a hotel, people were everywhere looking at the hotel and Mikey ran towards it. As he got through the crowd, he saw the hotel he was staying in, was on fire. Fire trucks
Came with their sirens on and were trying to put the fire out. Mikey dropped his bags and quickly went through the tape, but was soon stopped by a couple of policemen.
"Sir! Stay behind the tape," yelled the first cop.
"Wait! I need to get Luna out of there," cried Mikey, "Please let me through!"
"Sir! Stay behind the yellow tape," yelled the second cop.
"Stop! No! Wait! Luna!"
:End of Flashback:
Michelle had a sad expression on her face as he heard the boy's story. Vince was looking down, crossing his arms and lying against the wall. Mikey sniffed a little and broke the silence.
"Um, we better go now…will check on you later," said Mikey getting up. Vince got up from lying against the wall and walked away. Michelle watched the two until they both disappeared in the darkness.
