Chapter XI: What the Hell? Yugi?

Rose's P.O.V.

" Ow…" I said as I get up. " That hurts… Ebony?"

" Over here." Ebony replied. I look over to see her leaning against a tree. I get up and walked over.

" You okay?"

" Oh yeah. No broken bones or anything." Ebony said.

" That's good to hear." I said. I look around. " Where are we?"

" I don't know." Ebony said. " Any ideas?"

" Nope. None." I said. " Did you see Melody and the others?"

" Over there." Ebony said, pointing. I looked over to find them all still unconscious. I walked over to Melody. She was okay. All of them are okay.

' Thank gawd…' I thought. " So, what should we do?"

" How should I know?" Ebony replied. I rolled my eyes.

" Okay, fine. How about we get out of this forest then?"

" Sounds like a plan to me." Ebony said. " But what about them?"

" We're going to wait until they wake up." I said. I sat on the ground.

" Okay, fine." Ebony said, staying where she was. " What can we do to pass the time?"

" Um… I don't know."

" Hm… oh well, maybe we can think of one soon." Ebony said happily. She's always the cheerful one.

" You know what? I think I'm going to check this out. Alright?" I asked as I stand up.

" Alright, fine." Ebony said.

Walking around, I find that there was a town or city near where we are at. Not by sight, but by smell. Walking to the edge of the forest, I found houses and stores lined along it.

' Well, at least we aren't that far from one.' I thought as I walked back to the others. ' But where are we?'

" It didn't take you that long." Ebony said as I appeared again.

" There is a city near here, so that's why."

" Really? At least we don't have that long to go once the others wakes up."

" Yup." I responded.

" Ow…" Trila said as she wakes up.

" At last, one is awake." I said as Trila sits up. " How are you?"

" Ah, I just got a headache." Trila said. " What happened when we were flying?"

" We flew into that vortex, remember?" Ebony said to Trila. Trila frowns.

" How did that appear anyway? There aren't any magic folks except us. And another called Ultima Mages."

" Huh?" I said.

" Another group that helps fight evil. It's somewhere in that big book you have now." Trila answered.

" Oh. I'll look for it later." I said. The others are waking up at last. " At last. Can we go now?"

" Huh? Go where?" Melody asked groggily.

" To that town I found near here." I said to her.

" Yay! A town!" Melody said, leaping up to stand. " Let's go!"

" Oh, calm down. We are just now about-"

" ROSE! LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!" Ebony yelled, staring with wide eyes. I looked behind me slowly… a found the reason why she's scared. A giant grizzly bear!

Yugi's P.O.V.

" Hey, did ya just heard something'?" Joey asked, looking up from his cards that he was fixing. " I heard a roar."

" A roar? Like, from a bear in the forest?" Triston asks.

" Yeah. Exactly." Joey said. They were all outside in the backyard of Yugi's grandfather's store. Just hanging out.

" Then I'm not the only one." Triston said. A scream was now heard. " What the heck was that!" Triston said as he jumps up from the ground.

" I don't know, but we better check it out." I said as I stand up.

" Ch-ch-check it out? But you heard that roar! It's a bear!" Triston said.

" And you also heard that scream. There's someone in trouble!" Tea said, coming to the rescue.

" She's right Triston. Let's go." I said, running off to the forest. Joey, Tea and Serenity followed me. Triston finally moves to follow us.

Running through the trees, we hear another roar, a lot closer than last time.

" Watch out!" we heard from the distance.

" What does it look like I'm doing! Get Melody out of here!" was heard, responding to the first one.

" Got it!" the first voice responded. Another roar was heard.

" Let's hurry guys!" I yelled, picking up pace.

Arriving to the site, we see a girl in purple clothes fighting with the bear. Another girl with purple hair was holding a gray cat in her arms, and other animals surrounding her. They were running as the other girl was fighting the bear.

" She's crazy!" Joey said, wide eyes. The girl jumps back as the bear swung his paw at her. She jumps forward at him and punches his face! The bear roars and swung his paw at her again. This time, it hits her. She flew backwards and hits a tree with force. She gets back up to our surprise and charges at the bear again!

" Rose!" the other girl yelled as she ran.

" I'm fine! Go!" the girl, Rose, yelled as she jumped over the bear. She lands and turns around and kicks the bear.

" Wow!" Tea said. " No one could do that! It's impossible!"

" Yeah, but not for her!" Duke said, shocked.

" She's still crazy!" Triston said as he caught up.

" Do you think we should get help?" Serenity asked.

" AH!" Rose yelled as the bear turns around and slashes at her again and again, causing blood!

" Whoa! We need to do something!" Joey said. The bear raises his paw again. Rose jumps backwards again as he swipes it at her. Bleeding, she avoids all the attacks that she could. She had her teeth bared like a cat would.

" And how are we suppose to do that!" Triston said to Joey. " It's a bear!"

The bear charges again at Rose! Without seeing it, she was slammed by the bear and was now sandwiched between the bear and a tree!

" Get off!" she said as she pushes the bear off of her. She fell to the ground, holding her ribs.

" I can't watch!" Serenity said as she covered her eyes. The bear charges once more at Rose, who was unaware of the attack!

" Watch out!" we all yelled. She looked up in surprise, but wasn't able to move out of the way! The bear crashes into her full force! They were slammed into the ground, the bear now slashing at her face!

" ROSE!" the purple-haired girl yelled from a distance, who stopped to watch the progress. She grabbed a fistful of rocks and began attacking the bear from the distance, the stones surprisingly hitting! " How do you like that!"

Rose's P.O.V.

The bear was getting off of me, looking for the source of the attack. My face is torn up and my ribs feels like they were broken, though from what it looks, I'm fine other than the fact that I was smashed against the ground like a rock against a nut. I sat up as much as I could, since the bear can't even find Ebony. I'm hoping that my face isn't as bad as it feels.

' Ouch… I'm going to be sore in the mornin'…' I thought as I glanced up. ' OMG… Yugi Mutou? Joey, Triston, Serenity, Duke, and Mai too? What the hell is going on here?' My thoughts were interrupted when the bear roared/talked as he turned back to me.

" Get out of MY territory!" he yelled at me as he charged at me once more!

' I don't think I can take another hit like the last one!' I thought in panic. I jumped up and threw myself to the side at the last moment. But all he did was turned back around with his paw raised!

' I can't dodge…' I thought. Everything was now in a slow-motion speed, the paw swinging at me and me trying to dodge it. But it hits it mark, right into my stomach, launching me right into a tree at a splintering speed! I roared in pain, though it felt like someone ripping my windpipe out by hand. The wind was now knocked out of me, making it very difficult to breath right. I fell to the ground.

Yugi's P.O.V.

" She roared?"

" That does it, we have to help!" Mai said. " I don't care if it's a bear or a squirrel, she's in trouble."

" Oh, yeah, grab a twig or a leaf and let's poke him until he decides to eat us!" Joey said to her. " What can we do!"

" Anything is better than nothing Wheeler!" Mai said as she grabs a pinecone from the ground. " Hey, ugly! Over here!" she yells as she throws at the bear. He stopped in the middle of the charge and looks towards us.

" Now what Mai? We're the ones that are in trouble now!" Triston said as the bear completely turns to us.

" Let's get outta the way guys! He's charging!"

Rose's P.O.V.

' Oh, no you don't…' I thought as I managed to stand up. The bear was just beginning to charge towards Yugi and them. I ran up to him and grabbed his fur on the back. " This little argument is just between us, remember?" I said as I was able to dig my heels into the ground, stopping him mid-charge. " It's time to settle the situation!" I said as I pulled at the bear with all my might.

It was easier than I thought it would be. I have actually swung him off the ground and around before releasing him all together, making him fly through the air the other way. I stood there, trying to pull air into my aching lungs. I feel extremely weak from all the blows I received. The bear stood back up, but he didn't look angry that I have just thrown him about 50 feet. In fact, he looked… smug.

" Heh. You truly are the Chosen One," he said as he walks off. That left me standing there with a blank face.

'I'm sooo confused here… Ow, my head… And ribs…' I thought faintly. Before I knew it, I fell to my side, my legs not taking the weight well, therefore collapsing on me. I could see Ebony from the corner of my eye now bending down next to me.

" How hurt are you?" she asked. I barely managed a laugh.

" My ribs hurts, my head is pounding, and I feel like I went through a tackle of five football teams at the same time. But don't worry, I'll live. No broken bones." I said. " Feeling faint though…"

" Hey, just rest. And Melody will be alright." she said when I opened my mouth.

' She knows me too well…' I thought.

" I still can't believe this though… why the hell did that bear attack us?" Ebony said to herself.

" Hey, if you want ' Can't believe,' here comes some of the impossible…" I said quietly, now blacking out.
