Chapter 6

Marik's POV

We had heard that Bill lived just outside of Cerulean City and we were now headed to his house. We had no problem in getting to Bill's house but there was one obstacle right at the end of our journey. Bill seemed to like magicarp; in fact he had a whole moat full of them around his house! There was a drawbridge, which I guess worked like an automatic gate, but it was up and there was no way across.

"How are we going to get across?" asked Tea in despair.

"Duh, we swim," I answered.

"Uh, Marik," said Yugi tentatively.

"What?"

Yami and I can't swim."

"What!"

"We're ground types, we're weak against water."

"I see."

Now what? We had a moat filled with water and Yami and Yugi can't swim. That leaves just me, Tea and Kaiba. I'm sure as hell not going with Tea and Kaiba can't go inside because he's a bird and can't fly inside. Aha! A large flying pokemon.

"I've got it!" I shouted.

"Got what?" asked Yami.

"I know how we can all get across."

"You do? How?"

I grinned. I knew something the great pharaoh didn't.

"We fly across!"

"That's your plan!"

"Pathetic," commented Kaiba, "Did you forget that I'm the only one who can fly?"

"Not at all," I replied confidently, "You will airlift us."

"Are you freaking crazy?" he demanded angrily.

"Yes."

"I'm not carrying anyone!"

"Marik's plan is our only chance," said Yami.

"You have to," pleaded Yugi, putting on his whole innocent face with the large puppy-dog eyes.

"Of course," I said, "You could get the rod by yourself."

"Inside a building! Are you trying to kill me?"

"Not currently."

"Fine, I'll do it."

"Oh thank you, Seto," smiled Tea, "You're a real friend."

Bakura's POV

It was night when we entered Pewter City. It was totally silent and the only lights that were on were the street lights. People here must be very boring. We walked along the deserted road until we came to the Pewter museum.

"I'll lead this time," I said.

"Why not me?" asked Joey, "I'm supposed to be in charge."

"One, you're an idiot. Two, I'm a thief and you're an idiot."

"Why you," he snarled.

"Because I'm a tomb robber, I just told you. Idiot."

Now I needed to decide who should come with me.

"The team to go inside will be me…Joey and Duke. Any complaints?" I didn't wait if there were," Good. The rest of you need to hide."

Tristan, Mai and Ryou hid in some bushes while the others followed me to the back of the museum. I used a flamethrower on the door and melted the lock. Joey pushed the door open and we were in.

"Look for the book and be careful," I instructed.

We walked down the carpeted hallways between the exhibits. Soon we noticed there were signs along the main route pointing us toward the book. We stopped at the exhibit. The book was inside a glass case that was resting on a pedestal. I recognised it as the book Marik had used to accidentally send us all here.

"Let's go get it," said Joey.

"Don't move," I hissed.

"Why?"

"Are you really that stupid? Everyone knows they put lasers (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. I learnt that in grade 6 or something because I had a friend who was science obsessed and made me memorise that) and all sorts of junk around their most prized exhibits."

"I knew that, I was…testing you, yeah."

"Sure."

"Hey! You don't believe me?"

"Duh."

"Hey," interrupted Duke, "How're we supposed to see the beams?"

"Like this."

I blew out a cloud of smoke that revealed the laser beams.

"Oh."

"Okay, Joey, get the book."

"Right."

Joey jumped through the smoke, ducking and sliding like the monkey he was until he reached the book.

"How do I break the glass?" he asked.

"Who cares?" I replied, "Punch it or something."

Joey punched it. The glass was rather thick.

"AAAHH!"

"Shut up!"

Complaining bitterly Joey punched the glass again and again until it cracked and broke.

"My hand!" he cried as some glass cut it.

"It's just a small cut," I said dismissively.

Then the alarm sounded.

Yami's POV

The four of us entered the house through an open window while Kaiba stayed hovering outside. The house appeared to be empty and in no time at all we found the Millennium Rod.

"Well that was easy," commented Marik as he picked the rod up in his mouth.

"Maybe too easy," I said.

"You're just pessimistic."

I glanced around the room. I had been around a while, over 5000 years in fact, and knew you didn't leave a powerful, rare treasure unguarded, especially a millennium item, even though Bill wouldn't have a clue what it was.

"Yami," said Tea.

"What is it?"

"There's a pink blob in the doorway."

There certainly was. A pink blob with a face.

"What's that?" asked my shocked hikari.

"Hami, move it out of the fay," mumbled Marik through the rod.

I stepped forward.

"Little thing, if you don't move out of the way I will be forced to duel…uh, forced to battle you."

The blob said and did nothing.

"Then you're forcing my hand. Sorry about this."

I raised my arm and slashed down. Before I hit it though it glowed and transformed into me! It raised its arm and blocked my attack.

"Huh," gasped Marik, dropping the rod from his mouth.

Don't drop it!" I yelled.

The other me, slightly darker in colour, grabbed the rod. Yugi jumped at him and knocked the rod to me. I grabbed it.

"Aiee!" screamed Tea.

I looked towards her. It was only Kaiba at the window.

Throw it to Kaiba!"

I threw the rod to Tea. She dropped it. My double pushed Yugi away and ran at Tea. I also ran. The double grabbed the rod, I hit the double and the rod smashed through the window and was caught by Kaiba.

"Idiots," he said.

My double had been knocked out so we trudged out the house and were carried over the moat by Kaiba before heading off to the mountain.

Ryou's POV

We were hidden in some bushes when the alarm suddenly began to screech.

"Get ready," said Mai.

Three police vans drove past us and the police rushed into the museum.

"Come," ordered Mai.

We snuck up to the trucks, Tristan stayed back, and Mai and I melted the tyres.

"What's this for?" I asked.

"When the others come out we're going to have to run. I think it's better if we don't have cars coming after us."

Bakura leapt through a window, police shooting wildly at him. Duke and Joey were on his back and Joey held the book.

"Let's go!" he shouted.

All of us turned and ran to the meeting spot.

Yugi's POV

When we arrived at the meeting spot, which had been chosen by Kaiba, the others were already there. The Book of Secret Arts that Marik had used to send us to this dimension was lying on a rock. Marik walked up to it, carrying the rod in his mouth, put a paw on the book and mumbled some strange words, which I guess were ancient Egyptian, and waited.

"Nothing's happening," said Joey, stating the obvious.

"Uh?"

Marik didn't seem sure what he should do.

"Why isn't it working?" asked Yami.

"I guess when a pokemon speaks in ancient Egyptian it sounds like ancient Egyptian to another pokemon but sounds like nonsense to everyone else," hazarded Marik.

Everyone immediately started yelling at him.

"Guys! Please! Relax!" I shouted.

Everyone slowly stopped blaming Marik and looked at me.

"I don't think it's impossible to get back," I said, "We just need to use a different method. It's like a puzzle."

"Alright guys," said Tea, "You heard Yugi, let's think of a plan."

After a little while Kaiba spoke.

"Can't Marik use the Millennium Rod to control someone and get them to say the spell?"

"Hey, that might work," said Marik cheerfully.

"All we need now is a person to control," observed Yami.

"Back to the city," commanded Marik, "Bakura, carry the book."

We all travelled back to the city.

Kaiba's POV

Once again we waited for nightfall before entering the city. I flew above to find a person on their own who we could use. There! In an alley was a kid who looked a little sick. He wouldn't be able to resist and soon I'd be back at home with my computers and if the suits tried to do anything while I was away…

"There's a kid in an alley that way," I told everyone as I swooped over their heads.

They followed me and entered the alley.

"Ohh," moaned the kid, "That's the last time I drink so much, Pikachu."

"Piii!" exclaimed a yellow mouse, getting sick next to the boy.

"Thanks, Kaiba," said Mai sarcastically, "You have wonderful taste."

"Stop fighting!" shouted Yugi.

"Just get the kid," I commanded.

Yami walked up behind the mouse and knocked it out with a karate chop to the back of the neck.

"Pikachu?"

The kid turned around and Marik smashed him in the face with the rod.

"Is that really necessary?" I asked.

"No," replied Marik, "But it makes it a lot more fun!"

Bakura put the book on a dustbin and we all stood around. The kid said some strange words and the rod began to glow. Lighting shot out of the tip of the rod and struck each of us. We glowed blue but before I had a chance to notice anything else I blacked out.

Ryou's POV

I blinked my eyes and found myself st5aring up at my ceiling. I sat up quickly. I had my own hands, my own hair, my own body! We were all in my lounge in our own dimension. Kaiba, Yugi, Yami, me, Bakura, Marik, Duke, Mai, Tea, Joey and Tristan. We were all back to normal. I was the only one awake and went into the kitchen for a glass of water and glanced at the clock. I stopped in shock. It was the same day the spell had been cast, only about half an hour later. Maybe it was all a dream? I went back into the lounge and opened the Book of Secret Arts. There was a muddy paw-print on one off the pages. If I could read Egyptian I would at least know if it was the right page but it was proof enough. The others began to stir and the doorbell rang. Who was it? I opened the door.

"Father!" I shouted happily.

My father was finally back.

"Hello, Ryou," he greeted me, rubbing his ears, "May I come in?"

"No!" I said suddenly, remembering everyone was here.

"What?"

"I mean, uh, okay."

I ran ahead of him into the lounge.

"Everyone out!" I shouted.

"Shut up, Ryou," growled Bakura.

My father walked into the room and froze. The packets of chips and cans of cooldrink my friends had been consuming had been scattered around the room by the spell and my friends were lying randomly all over the furniture.

"Um, these are my friends, Father."

"I see."

Just then the front door was flung open and Shadi ran in, holding the Millennium Scales above his head.

"Marik! Bakura! Prepare for the holy judgement of your souls!"

"Oh, Damn!" they exclaimed together before jumping through a window.

The others woke up and Kaiba checked his watch.

"Ah, different dimensions have different time speeds."

"Who cares?" asked Joey.

"Shut up, Ape!" yelled Kaiba, storming out the house.

"Let's go out for lunch," I suggested to my father.

"I think that's a good idea," he said, his disappointment barely hidden.

"There's a funny story behind all of this," I said weakly.

"I think it could be interesting."
