Note to readers: Trying to come with new abilities is certainly not easy. But I think I've done a decent job at most XD. Watching season 4 compared to the seasons after really make you appreciate the writing. If you can't tell The Wizards Of The Black Circle are my FAVORITE villains. The Trix were good villains don't get me wrong. But the voice acting after 4 kids. They just sounded silly. Personally, I would have liked to see a return of the Wizards. They were beaten FAR too easily. Like I had high hopes for Asharon in season 7. Did anyone notice his lizard monster looked JUST like the Ultimate Blue Eyes White Dragon? OK! Ready for Chapter 53!
Chapter 53: Always In My Heart
"Techna over here!" Stella cried as she hurried with her over to the party as they slowly stirred. Kaiba groaned slowly easing himself upwards before his eyes widened seeing Bloom just across from him and hurried over to her pulling her into his arms. "Bloom!? Bloom are you alright!? Answer me!" the CEO called out to her before Bloom's eyes slowly flickered open. Kaiba sighed relief. "Ugh...what happened to us...?" Bloom questioned. "We just found you like this." Stella's voice echoed from nearby before everyone slowly got to their feet brushing the snow off of them.
"Stella!? Techna!? What are YOU doing here!?" Layla questioned in utter shock. "We're JUST as shocked as you are," Techna told Layla. "One minute we were in our dorm room and the next these stars appeared and this voice spoke to us. Then we just wound up there." Stella finished. Musa only smirked as she raised her brow and crossed her arms. "Sure, the real truth is that you guys couldn't stay away from the adventure either." Musa teased. "But we ARE telling the TRUTH!" Stella cried in response.
"Well, the important thing is that we're all together." Flora smiled sweetly. "Oh great..." Kaiba muttered. "If Tristian were here he'd try and make himself a harem..." the blue eyed male muttered. "Dat I'd actually believe..." Joey agreed for once as he groaned rubbing his head. "Are you alright Joey?" Yugi asked as he slowly rose to his feet. "Yep, everythin seems ta be in place..." Joey muttered as Yugi stared at him. He couldn't seem to help himself. "DUDE!" Duke finally spoke up. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR!?" the dice master exclaimed.
"Whaddya mean?" Joey asked before he paused and noticed his hair really did change. "...Huh...I guess it wasn't a dream afta all..." the black haired male muttered. "No, it was most certainly not..." Marik muttered. "It was quite real..." "I know I just can't believe that we got a new power. Even me." Roxy smiled. "Now we can knock those Wizard's right on their asses!" the faerie of animals exclaimed. "True you gained a new transformation. But let's not get TOO carried away..." Raeger warned. "We must be careful..."
"Heh that's the problem with novices...they get their head up WAY up in the cloud's and they think they can take on the world..." Kaiba scoffed. "GRRR WHO YA CALLIN A NOVICE RICH BOY!?" Joey snarled. "And I'm JUST as tough as the Winx!" Roxy fired back. "Too bad your transformations can't do your fighting for you..." the CEO muttered. "I'll show ya!" Joey spat. "...Well besides that last remark I'll admit Kaiba's got a good point. This is all so new to us and we still have A LOT to learn about our new powers." Bloom spoke up. "That's for sure." Yugi murmured. After all, he still hadn't fully recovered nor been able to use his own. Just when would that be anyway?
"For now. Why don't we make our way back to the cabin? I don't know about you all but I'm freezing..." Yugi shivered. {Yes it won't do us much good to stay out here} Atem agreed. "It's been a long day and we could use some time to rest and think things over." Flora suggested. "Yes it's getting late...granny's probably worried..." Raeger murmured. "Well then lead the way!" Roxy exclaimed before Raeger took them back to the cabin. "Man...we go there to finds these stupid gems and Undine didn't give us so much as a hint as for where to look!" Duke grumbled in aggravation. "Well, maybe it just isn't the right time." Musa murmured. "So, we just wait at Raeger's place until a clue pops up then?" Layla questioned. "That was certainly how it appears..." Marik muttered. "I don't care for it either..." the tomb keeper muttered.
"So we just have to find these gems along the way whilst we fight The Wizards Of The Black Circle? And any other threats? Sounds like another day in the life of a Faerie." Stella flipped her hair. "But I can definitely see why Musa left...that red head is majorly cute." the blonde giggled as Roxy walked over and took Raeger's arm and pulled him forwards with her. "Come on! Hurry up!" the pink haired Faerie exclaimed as she ran with Raeger. "W-Woah!" he cried. "I think someone agrees." Techna pointed out with a sigh. "Well, at least we know that our dear Stella regardless of the dangers we face her top priority will always be guys. she teased. The girls all laughed as they arrived back at the cabin.
"We're home granny!" Raeger exclaimed with a smile as Granny Emiko offered them one in return. "Welcome home dears. My you all look so tired. Come Come! Sit I made homemade spaghetti." the old woman coaxed as everyone gathered at the table to eat. Well, all except for Kaiba. It only too but a moment to sit on the couch before his fatigue finally caught up to him. "It will be nice to have some down time." Bloom smiled before she paused noticing Kaiba and smiled. She placed her finger over her lips as Bloom slowly made her way over to the CEO and took a blanket and covered him up.
"Thank you for being by my side the whole time sweet heart..." Bloom thanked him and kissed his cheeks before she squeaked as she was pulled under the blanket. "K-Kaiba what are you doing?" "What do you think? I've been stuck having to waunder around through death traps with half of these idiots and hardly any time being with you." Kaiba muttered with a slight pout. "I want some time with you ALONE" Kaiba muttered. "Or is that too much to ask?" "There IS a better way to ask you know." Bloom giggled. He was cute when he was sulking. "I prefer to be spontaneous." "Oh really?" the red head smiled as she wrapped her arms around him gazing into each other's eyes. Gently their lips met sharing a sweet and tender kiss.
"I love you, Bloom..." Kaiba told her as his cheeks reddened. "I just...wanted to say it..." Bloom smiled. "I love you too...Seto..." the redhead murmured softly feeling her cheeks blush herself before they held one another in a warm embrace her head tucked under his chin. It didn't take long at all before she paused hearing a soft snore. "Well would ya look at that...he really was tired..." Bloom smiled sweetly and tucked him in. "Goodnight sweetie..." she whispered softly before she joined the others in the kitchen.
"Man of all people. I didn't tink rich boy was da kind ta fall asleep in front of others..." Joey admitted. "Well, he IS a human Joey." Yugi sweatdropped. "Even though he likes to pretend he's invisible." the scarlet eyed male smiled. "Coulda fooled meh." Joey snickered as he slurped the spaghetti getting sauce splattered on his face. Flora giggled and conjured a green napkin gently wiping his face. "His hair may have changed but it's nice to see Joey is still Joey." the faerie of nature smiled. "Yeah though I am wondering exactly HOW that happened," Raeger admitted.
"Oh dat? Uh well, Undine gave meh power too in exchange for becomin her knight. After all, I needed a way ta fight too!" Joey exclaimed as he took another fork full before tears rimmed at his eyes. "...Ow...I just bit...meh tongue..." the black haired male whimpered. "...Are those...fangs?" Roxy's eyes widened. "HAHA! NOW he really IS like a dog!" Duke teased. "No...more like a dragon..." Roxy murmured as she felt this aura from Joey. Yugi's eyes too widened in surprise. "SHUT UP DUKE!...Somethin wrong Yug?" Joey questioned. "No...No, not really." Yugi laughed nervously.
"Well I like it," Musa spoke up. "It reminds me of Andy and the guys from The Frutti Music Bar." the faerie of music told them as a matter of factly. "It does doesn't it!" Layla giggled. Granny Emiko only smiled. "It's so lovely to have such lively company..." she murmured. "Well, wherever there's a party we are ALWAYS there!" Stella exclaimed before she shoveled a mouthful of spaghetti. "Goodness Stella your manners are just as bad as Joey's over there!" Techna exclaimed before both Joey and Stella turned their head at the same time with their faces covered in spaghetti sauce was noodles hanging out of their mouth. "HEY!" both of them cried out in unison. Musa laughed as did most everyone at the table.
"OH JOEY! STELLA! YOU'RE HILARIOUS!" Musa giggled as Marik slowly got up and left the room going outside the back door. Layla paused as she noticed and slowly got up and followed the tomb keeper outback. "Marik...are you alright?" the dark skinned Faerie asked him softly before she paused as she heard laughter escape Marik's lips him covering his mouth trying to suppress it. "T-They..." "Hmm?" "Those two...ahaha...they looked utterly ridiculous..." the tomb keeper laughed unable to control himself. "I can't believe anyone could eat in such a manner...HAHAHAHA!" Marik chuckled laughing as he held his stomach.
"Yeah, it was pretty funny." Layla giggled in return. "But you didn't have to leave the room." she pointed out. Marik shook his head still laughing. "I wouldn't even consider such. I have my reputation to keep..." he told her as he attempted to catch his breath. "...Ahhh...it was nice to laugh like that though...I don't get to do so very often..." Marik smiled genuinely. Layla felt her heart pound a little bit faster and smiled before she gently took Marik's hand. "Come on let's get back to the others I still have room for dessert!" Layla exclaimed. "Race you!" she exclaimed before Marik chased after her. {Nabu if you're listening...I will always carry you in my heart...but it's time...time to let go of the past...and try and find that same happiness I lost...with someone else...so please watch over me...wherever you are...because Marik needs someone to bring out that awkward smile that he tries so desperately to hide...and I need him..."
