Hey, hey everyone. So, I'm sorry I couldn't get one out sooner, but I've been sickly and extremely busy. -_- Blarg. Ok, but here's this one, a short recap, you were reviewing your dream and walking up to the arena and then you get there...and Joey goes flying, losing the battle against Marik. Oh noes! We'd best continue to find out what's going to happen!!
Yay. ^^
Everything seems to be going in slow motion around you, it's not really, but you're so shock from what you're seeing that you can't believe it. "Joey!" Yugi calls and you watch him run towards the arena. You do a second glance and notice that Seto is staring at you, empathetically, although from his stance, it appears that he stopped himself from coming over to you. You ignore the possible future problem of him not letting you dual and follow Yugi and the others to the arena. "Joey, Joey, wake up Joey." You watch Serenity shaking Joey's shoulder while Yugi and the others know that he's unresponsiveness means that his soul was taken by the shadows. "We'll take him to our infirmary section." You look to your left and there's Mokuba standing right next to you. You watch the scenario as Joey is carried off, but your thought is not really on Joey, but how Mokuba must feel. 'He was the only one that knew...I hope he doesn't feel badly because of what's happened...' you think to yourself and then you feel someone's arms around your waste and turn shocked to see Mokuba hugging you. "~~~~~, you shouldn't dual Marik. If you lose then you'll end up just like Joey and Mai." You kneel down so that you're eye-level with Mokuba and look at him sympathetically and then hug him. "You don't have to worry about me. I have methods that fight the opening of the shadow realm, so I'll be alright." You look at Mokuba and smile. "And I'll be looking after her to make sure nothing happens." Both of you turn to look at Yugi smiling faintly and then Seto interrupts and says,"Like you really think after what just happened that I'm going to permit you to dual Marik." Before you can say anything to refute Yugi says, "Seto Kaiba I think that you should let ~~~~~ dual him. I know what's happened but I trust her that she can protect herself." 'I wonder if Yugi's just saying that to be nice?...' you think to yourself but figure the gesture means a lot. "Seto Kaiba you will allow ~~~~~ to dual Marik." All of you turn to face none other than Ishizu. "Like hell I am." Seto says glaring at Ishizu. "You will, else you'd like the past to repeat itself." Ishizu says standing firm. Seto stares at her for a while and then looks at you and fights a shiver at your own eyes staring into his, the mark on your face killing him inside. "I don't believe in all of that past stuff," Seto began and you felt yourself begin to grow angry, "However, I'll let ~~~~~ dual him, but if something starts to go wrong I'm ending the match." You look at Seto standing there his arms folded because he's obviously not happy with what he's going to allow. You manage a smile and say, "Thank you, Seto." You stand up and Mokuba says, "Well, I better go see to Joey." He stands there looking at you for a moment, the worry evident from his face. You nod to him and he heads off down the stairs.
I hope Joey's ok!><
"If the decisions are final then the next match will begin as soon as the arena is cleared with only the two combatants standing in their places." The referee says after hearing the conversation. Yugi walks over to you and holds your hands. "~~~~~, don't let him pull anything on you. I'm trusting you to pull through this ok." He looks you in the eyes and you nod and say, "I'll be careful, thank you Yugi." Yugi stands there for a bit longer and then he walks off the dualing platform. You stand there adjusting your deck and everything when you feel someone's arms wrap around your shoulder's from behind you. You stand rigid for a moment and then you look out of the corner of your eye to see it's Seto. "Seto, what-" "~~~~~, I'm letting you do this, but I'm not going to let him take your soul, so please...don't be angry with me whe-if I end the battle." You put your hand on Seto's arms and say, "I'll understand, but don't jump to it too soon." You feel Seto nods his head and he presses his head against yours and whispers, "I'm sorry..." He says and walks off the platform. You watch him go and notice that Yugi was standing there watching the whole thing. "That's quite the lovely mark you've got on your face." You turn your face towards Marik, who you really hadn't even noticed was standing there until this moment. You put your deck in your dual disc and look at him empathetically and say, "Really? Oh good, I was thinking of starting a new trend." Marik didn't expect you to say anything as that and he just grins smugly. 'Hm, I wonder why the ref hasn't started the dual yet.' you think to yourself and then you feel a hand on your shoulder.
Eek? o_o'
You turn startled to see Ishizu standing there. "~~~~~, you need to know, that this person isn't actually Marik." Ishizu says so faint that you're the only one who can hear it. "What do you mean?" you ask because from looking at him you have no doubts that this is none other than Marik. "He was possessed and now the dark spirit that possessed him has taken over entirely, so don't trust him, don't do anything to compromise the events." "Wha-" You begin to say but Ishizu is already walking off. "What events?..." you mutter to yourself thinking that it must be the ones that'll lead to where the past never went, but then again you never know with these kind of things. "The dual can now begin, Marik will start." You hear the ref say, but all you can think of is everything this being has caused. You're glaring at him when out of no where Marik says, "What do you say we make a bet?" You face turns to surprise for a moment and out of no where a giant scale forms in between the two of you. You look at it in wonder and then remember what Ishizu had told you. "I'm not interested." You say bluntly but Marik must have expected something like that because he plays the friend card.(figuratively not literally he didn't actually play any cards yet.) "What? You mean you don't want to save your friends?" He grins at you smugly, but you remain empathetic with your expressions. You think of something to say that won't make you sound rude or uncaring, but you can't come up with any that won't possible jeopardize you. "I said I'm not interested." Marik's face turns to one of anger as he watches the scale begin to fade. You look over at Ishizu and she smiles and nods. You turn back towards Marik but he has his attention turned towards Ishizu as well, but his look is full of malice. "Marik Ishtar," the ref interrupts, "It's your turn please go now." Marik looks back at you and draws a card to start his turn and looks at it. His eyes are still on the card, but he says, "So, I see you've been educated on my intentions before hand." He looks at you know and you just shrug. "I guess I have." Marik is looking at you empathetically as well and then smiles and says, "No matter, I still have other methods." You just stare at him and say, "Yeah, well why don't you start by starting the dual, or is that too much for you?" Your sarcasm didn't go over well because Marik just laughs and smiles an even bigger, more malificent smile. "Alright, I'll start by playing a face down monster in defense mode and two other cards face down. Happy?" "Quite." You say and draw your card to begin your turn.
(Ok, FYI: I'm not really going to delve into the dualing aspects of this quiz, mainly because that'd take faaaaaaaaaar too much explaining. XP)
Surprisingly you and Marik are matching each other tit-for-tat and he obviously isn't too happy about it, but you can tell that he's anxious, and that scares you, although you still remain empathetic about everything. You look at the field as Marik ends his turn and decide that he must be getting ready to play his Egyptian God card. 'Hm, well, if he does that then I'm through...I don't have anything in my deck that can stop Ra, well perhaps a bunch of cards, but I've used most of them and by the time I played them I'd be all out of life points...' you stare at your hand and debate on what to do. "Having troubles already?" Marik says mockingly, but you just look up from your cards, glare at him and look back at your cards. You play a face down and attack Marik's monster. You watch as a feeble little monsters obliterates and through the disappearing particles you can see Marik grin maleficently and it sends a shiver of foreboding down your spine. "Why thank you very much my dear ~~~~~." You look at him your face hiding your fears. "Oh, yeah?" Its all that you could manage without your voice quivering. "Yeah. You've just helped me to summon my Egyptian God card, your ruin in this dual." You look at your hand and smile inside. 'Ha, well I've got just the thing for that card...' you look back at Marik and he laughs loudly and says, "Let me guess, you have nothing in your hand that can handle this card's might and you're beginning to become afraid?" he stares at you a while the smug grin on his face becoming annoying. "Well, brace yourself, you're going to face the awesome might of the great Ra!" Marik throws his hand up in the air dramatically and you just roll your eyes, the first sign of emotion you'd given the entire dual, but as the lightening strikes the sky signaling Ra's arrival you become stiff your thoughts begin running like they're in two different duals. 'W-What's going on...' you think to yourself, the images from the different duals overlapping each other confusing you and giving you a massive headache. You fall to the ground and hold your head, the cards you were holding dropping to the ground around you. You see it, the dual monster, but in one image you see Marik, the other you see someone else, someone who strikes fear into you, or is it you. 'It has to be me, or at least maybe...the past me?...' You scream into the air your eyes sealed shut, "Stop! I can't think like this!!" You don't know where you're at now and you don't care, you want this to stop, need this to stop. You begin punching at the ground in both images trying to get yourself straight, but its to no avail. The pictures begin to overlap faster and faster, you feel someone at your side, shaking you, calling your name, asking you questions...but you can't hear them...you've blacked out...more like fallen into blackness...'Caught in between a void perhaps?...' you think and your thought echoes throughout the darkness. You can't tell whether your eyes are open or closed and bring your hand to check them. 'Open...where am I?...' you think, the echo repeating you again. 'W-What am I supposed to do now?...' you think but before you can hear whether is echoed or not your eyes closed, you blacking out in the darkness...
Oh no! Not again!?!
Yeppers, again, and now, I'm going to end it. I hope it was long enough for ye. Lol. I didn't spend as much detail as I'd have liked to but I wanted to get it out before it was too late, well...technically it's 12am here and I have school tomorrow. >< But I knew I wouldn't have time to do this anytime during the week so I hope it's ok. ^^; I'm really outta it though, haha, oh well. I'm out for now, but what'll possibly happen next?! Are you caught in between a void? Did you stop time? Are you just hallucinating? Eh, who knows, well, obviously I do, but, that's beside that point. Lol, cya all in the next one! ^^
Gah! Always with the strange endings!
I should probably get new pictures eh? ^^'
