YU-GI-OH! THE EVIL QUEEN’S REIGN… ACT I SCENE III “Yeah, where is she?”
Roy asked. “I didn’t even get her number!” Hayati pointed to a door
leading out of the chamber. “She is right through there! Once you pass through those
doors, however, there is no turning back!” Roy and Aaron exchanged a
glance. “What happens if we lose
at anything?” Yami Yu-Gi asked. “Then you lose your most
valuable possession,” Hayati said. “Your soul!” Yami Yu-Gi glanced at Seto,
whom didn’t believe in that sort of thing. Seto didn’t waste anytime arguing,
however. He simply walked over to the door and pushed his way through… When the others walked through
that door, however, only Yami Yu-Gi arrived in the same place as Seto. The others –
Roy, Aaron and Li – were all taken somewhere different. This was all part of the
Queen’s plan… Seto wasn’t happy about
being stuck in the same place as Yami Yu-Gi, but he didn’t have much choice. They
walked along what seemed like a harmless forest trail, but Seto, who had designed millions
of virtual reality simulators, knew better. “Gentlemen! So good of you
to arrive!” A man wearing the same red and
black robes as Hayati and the man whom had duelled Yu-Gi, was waiting for them at the end
of the forest trail. “Who are you?” Yami
Yu-Gi asked. The man lowered his hood.
“I am Susuri! The first of the many challenges you will face!” Seto stepped forward.
“What have you done with Elkie?” Susuri laughed. “Nothing
at all! She’s right over there!” He pointed, and Seto and Yami Yu-Gi followed
his gaze. Elkie had been waiting for
someone to come along and rescue her. On one side of her was her duel disc and deck. On
the other side of her was Solar Flare Dragon, and it felt pretty real to her, what with
its long flaming body curled around her body, binding her tightly! She called out to Seto
and Yami Yu-Gi. “Guys! You have to beat
Sasuri! It’s the only way to get through to the next chamber!” Seto heard her. He turned back
to Sasuri. “I’ve had just about enough of this weird place! I challenge you to a
duel!” Sasuri laughed. “Very well
then! But it shall be the last duel you ever do! For when I beat you, your soul shall be
fed to my pet Solar Flare Dragon!” Roy glared at Bob. “What do you mean
Tri-Athelon?” Bob, Bill and Ben laughed. “The first event is
Snowboarding!” Bob said. “The second event is
Singing!” Bill said. “And the final event is
Martial Arts!” Ben said. Roy, Aaron and Li exchanged a
glance. And then, possibly at the same time, they all yelled: “Bring it on!” “Now I play my Goblin King
card!” Sasuri cried. “And I place one card face down on the field!” He
grinned. “It’s your move!” Seto grimaced and looked down
at his hand. He looked up at the field. Sasuri had his Goblin King card on the field, as
well as two other fiend cards, which gave his Goblin King card two thousand attack and
defence points. “This is bad…”
Elkie thought. “Seto only has one card on the field and one thousand Life Points
left…but if he…” Yami Yu-Gi knew what cards Seto
had to use to win. “If he trusts in The Heart
Of The Cards, he can win!” Yu-Gi said from within Yami Yu-Gi’s mind. Seto drew his next card. He
stared at it. “What?” Sasuri asked.
“What card did you draw?” Seto cried: “Now I
sacrifice my Sonic Jammer, in order to summon my Blue-Eyes White Dragon! And with my
Polymerization card, I can fuse it together with my other two Blue-Eyes White Dragons in
my hand, in order to form…Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!” Elkie let out a silent cheer.
Now Seto could attack Sasuri’s Darkbishop Archfiend, and wipe out the rest of his
Life Points! “Okay, so you won at
Snowboarding!” Bob snarled. “But can you win at
singing?” Bill asked. “This looks like a job for
The King, uh-huh!” Aaron said, stepping forward. “Oh great!” Roy
sighed. “Let’s everyone get out the earmuffs!” Sasuri fell to the ground, his
Life Points all gone. Solar Flare Dragon let out a roar, and Sasuri’s body turned to
smoke, which transferred to the dragon. It then disappeared, and Elkie was literally
thrown somehow into the trees. “AAUURRGGHH!!” “ELKIE!!” Seto and
Yami Yu-Gi yelled. They both began running, but, on the way, Yami Yu-Gi stooped down to
pick up Elkie’s duel disc and deck. A card at the top caught his eye. “No…” He
whispered. Seto tore through the trees. He
was determined to find Elkie before something else did! He felt that if he couldn’t
protect Mokuba, he could protect Elkie. Besides, there was something about Elkie that he
was liking… “Viva Las Vegas!” “I’m just a hunk, a
hunk of Burning Love!” Roy and Li were covering their
ears, as the Music-O-Matic was converting the scores of the two hopeful singer wannabes
into points. … … … “Bill…78!” … … … “Elkie! Where are
you?” Seto burst into a glade, and
looked up. Elkie was hanging by a tree branch. She grinned down at him. “Elkie! Are you
okay?” Seto asked, as Yami Yu-Gi came bursting into the glade. “I’m fine!” She
replied. “Just hanging around, ya know?” She looked down at Yami Yu-Gi.
“Oh, did you get my stuff?” Yami Yu-Gi nodded. “Thanks!” She called.
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound, and the tree branch broke! “Aaron…34!” “WHAT!?!?” Aaron
yelled. “THAT THING’S RIGGED!” Bill laughed. “But fear
not…” “For you will not lose
your soul…” Bob added. “If you win at Martial
Arts!” Ben finished. He pulled out a pair of Nunchakus. “Oh, terrific!” Roy
said. He pushed Li forward. “Go on Li-Boy, time to show us if you’ve got what it
takes!” Li pulled out his own
Nunchakus, and started spinning them. “Thanks for breaking my
fall Seto.” Elkie said. Seto stared at her. For the
first time he noticed what she was wearing. A pair of light pink boots that matched her
short skirt and bare-mid-drift top, complete with a strange gold choker. “I…I…” Seto
stammered. Then, he felt a sharp pain in his leg. “It…hurts…” Elkie jumped up. She and Yami
Yu-Gi beant over Seto. “Oh terrific!” Elkie
said. “I just broke someones leg!”
Seto tried not to show the pain he was feeling. After all, he was the president of his own gaming company and he couldn’t let a little break show Elkie that he might be weak. Just as they were all starting to wonder what to do, something jumped out of the bushes… |
