•Chapter 39: Role Reversal•

Christian reached for the button next to the door to open it. But before his hand could touch the button, the door suddenly opened.

Someone flew through the door, knocking everyone directly in front it, including Christian, Kaiba, and Layton.

The person did a tumble roll into the room, then stood up straight, turned around, and pointed at Christian. "FREEZE! HEALTH INSPECTOR!" He shouted demandingly.

Everyone automatically put their hands up and froze in place, even the four Ninja Guys. The guards dropped their guns in the process.

It took everyone a few seconds to realize that the person in front of them, who had knocked down Layton and Christian and Kaiba, and was posing dramatically, and was pointing at Christian like he was a health inspector...

...was...

...Marik.

Everyone gasped loudly and unfroze. "MARIK?!" they all cried out in total astonishment.

"This is unexpected," Ryou said.

"NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH TECHNICIAN!" Marik cried dramatically.

"Get him!" Descole cried.

The brown-haired guard guard made a dive for Marik.

But all of a sudden, Flora ran in! She had her hands raised as if holding a gun, and was aiming at people. Did she have the invisible gun in her hands?

Mokuba ran in with her. "Freeze!" Flora cried as she aimed at each of the guards in turn. "Don't move or I'll shoot!"

"She still has that gun?!" Descole cried.

"Get them!" Clive and Descole ordered.

All three guards sprang into action. They scrambled to their feet, drew their guns—both visible and invisible—and aimed them at Flora and Mokuba.

Flora and Mokuba ran to the right of the room, and the guards surrounded them.

"Don't move of we shoot!" Christian warned them.

Marik, who was still standing in the middle of the room and facing the door, suddenly cried out, "Now, Emmy!"

The moment he said that, Emmy darted into the room. She ran to the left and faced the guards across the room, who had their backs to her. She raised held up her hands in a position that was identical to how Flora had her hands, as it holding a handgun. Then, the tips of her pointer fingers jerked backwards three times in a row. Three balls of ice suddenly appeared in the space in front of her hands. Each one shot towards one of the guards. The moment they made contact, the three guards's entire bodies were instantly encased in ice and frozen in place.

Everyone looked at Emmy, their mouths agape and eyes widened in shock.

She noticed their stares and said with a smile, "That's right! I have the invisible gun, not Flora!"

Bowie-Sensei took a step back and reached for a button on the control panel.

Emmy turned the invisible gun on him. "STOP!" she ordered. "Do not press that button or I will shoot!"

"Bowie don't move," Noah said.

Bowie froze.

Mokuba and Flora crawled out from the circle of frozen guards, who were still encased in ice. "Listen up!" Emmy shouted. "We've already decided what we're going to be doing here, and if anyone objects, I'm firing at you as well!"

"Well this is unexpected!" Yugi cried.

"Okay Ms. Altava," Descole said with a smile, "we shall humor you, for now. Exactly what would you have us do for you?"

"Don't talk down to me like that!" she objected. "And you're not doing a thing for me. The four of us are going to be doing something for you."

Descole's face didn't change. "Do what, exactly?" he asked, at the same time Noah asked, "Which four?"

"Bakura, Yugi, Professor, Seto," Emmy answered Noah, but also to get the attention of those four people. "You four are going to help out these guys and do what they say so they can be separated and put back in their own individual bodies."

"WHAT?!" everyone cried in utter surprise, excluding Emmy, Flora, Mokuba, and Marik.

"That's right," Flora said. "We've all agreed that we're tired of this and we just want to get out of here and go home. We feel like they've learned their lesson."

"Well just your luck," Layton said with a smile, "we had already agreed to do so anyway, for almost all of the same reasons."

"Wait, really?" Marik asked. "Why the frig would you agree to that?"

"For the same reasons you did," Ryou said. "Because we're tired and we just want to get out of here. We've had enough of this for one day and..." He ran over to Flora and drew her into his arms. "The longer we stay here, the greater the risk of something bad happening to any of us. And by 'bad', I mean 'life-threatening'."

Flora shivered at his words, but nodded and hugged back tightly. "I understand. Will Bakura do it?"

Ryou turned around and looked at his yami. "Will you?" Ryou asked him.

"Yes fine whatever," the spirit grumbled. "I already said yes!"

Ryou smiled.

"But I'm getting tired of this bulls**t! Call me when you're ready."

And with those words, he disappeared, probably to his soul room.

Ryou sighed and facepalmed. But he was still smiling. "Well at least we'll have a bit of peace without him around."

"i can still hear you," Bakura suddenly said, all of a sudden behind Ryou leaning in close behind him. Then a split second later he was gone again.

Ryou jumped and shrieked for a moment before covering his mouth with his hand to muffle his scream. Flora was pushed back a bit, but stepped forward again to comfort him.

Ryou cringed. "I hate when he does that! Especially when I'm trying to hug you..."

"Don't worry about it," Flora whispered, kissing him gently on the cheek.

Ryou smile again and hugged her tightly.

"Aw..." Emmy said.

Mokuba tried to ignore them.

Yami rolled his eyes. "Whatever can we just go already?"

"Hmph," Kaiba said. "I'm only doing it because Mokuba is in on it, and I, too, am tired of all this bulls**t."

"I guess we're all in agreement, then," Emmy said.

She lowered the invisible gun. She looked to the Ninja Guys. "So, gentlemen, what will it be?"

Descole was speechless, as if thinking hard about how he should respond. So was Bowie-Sensei.

But Clive wasn't.

He quickly switched out with Bowie-Sensei, taking control of their shared body. The eyes and hair changed again, and so did the voice. Bowie-Sensei appeared in spirit form where Clive used to be. This surprised Flora, Marik, Mokuba, and Emmy and caught them off guard, since they hadn't been there when the Ninja Guys had done the same thing earlier.

"So," he said, from Bowie-Sensei's body, "this is unexpected, but greatly appreciated. Now if you'll just unfreeze Christian, Damion, and Marcus, we'll be ready to go. Despite your apparent willingness to help, we still don't trust you."

Decole shook off his speechlessness and said, "Thank you, Clive. That is exactly what I would have said."

Clive smiled.

This made Yugi wonder about how being in the same body had affected the relationships between the four of them.

"Well, I'll meet you there," Noah said. He disappeared from sight.

"I, too, will be in my soul room," Descole said. "You know where to go." He also disappearing from sight.

"See yah lay-taaarrr~!" Bowie-Sensei sang, also fading away.

Clive watched the three of them go.

Yugi looked at Yami. The two nodded at each other. A moment later, Yugi was in control of their body and Yami was nowhere to be found.

Ryou and Flora stopped hugging and simply held hands.

Mokuba ran over to Kaiba and hugged him briefly, then grabbed his hand as well.

"Emmy?" Clive said. "Our guards?"

"Oh, yes of course."

Emmy moved over to the guards. She twisted something in midair, similar to how Mokuba taught Flora to twist the barrel of the invisible gun to change its settings, then put her hand down and fired three shots at the circle of guards

Three fireballs came out of the invisible gun, each one aimed at one of the three guards. When the fireballs hit, the ice encasing them was melted within two seconds and the guards were freed. First Christian, then Damion, then Marcus.

The three guards fell to the floor, on top of each other. Their lips were purple and their skin was paler than usual.

They all groaned in discomfort as they untangled themselves and got their bearings again.

"They froze us..." Christian murmured, using his normal feminine voice unintentionally.

Marik gasped. "So she is a woman!" he cried. He was close enough to hear Christian's voice.

Christian reacted immediately, getting to his feet and aiming his visible gun at Marik's head and his invisible gun at Marik's chest. "Say that one more time, I dare you," he rasped, using the masculine voice.

Marik's eyes widened and he shrank back.

"What the f**k happened?" Damion said as he scrambled to his feet and started looking around wildly.

Marcus tried to stand, but he shivered and fell again. He started rubbing his legs, which looked like they were still stiff.

"Calm down," Clive said to them. They all looked up and over at him. "They've agreed to help us. Don't worry about what they just did. All that matters is what they're going to do now."

"They're going to do the thing?" Christian asked, lowering her guns.

"Yep," Clive replied. "Let's go. This chapter is getting boring. Christian, lead them to the place."

Christian nodded, and began walking towards the door.

After two minutes waiting for the three guards to completely unfreeze, they once again began heading out. Only this time, with all of the party members and kidnappees together.

OMG AND STUFF! SUPER-SPECIAL-AWESOME PLOT TWIST!

Anyway guys! Here's another chance for you to affect how the story goes! Well...by that I mean affect what you see. There are two ways next chapter can go:
~I can show you the whole process that they're going to go through, including the card games and puzzle battle and the ninja fight and all that complicated stuff.
OR
~I can just skip over those parts (just the actual battles, not the explanation of them; I'll still mention them and sum them up) and show who wins.
Doing the former will probably be more exciting and interesting, but it'll be a HUGE hassle and it'll take a LONG while to write. The latter, while not as awesome and exciting, will be a much shorter and easier to read chapter, plus I can write it easier and get it to you sooner.

Unfortunately, either way, it might be TWO weekends before the next update. Sorry!

The fanfic is almost ending anyway. There are only like...less than 5 chapters left. Like 2 or 3.
Also, I have absolutely NONE of them planned out or written out in any way at all anywhere ever.

The choice is yours.

Next chapter:
TBD [chapter title to be determined]

See you next chapter!

BYEEEEEEEE~!
