Beyond 05

But more important than that-- Did it still hold power? The same power as when that pharaoh- bastard had it.

He was becoming very fond of that word, wasn't he??

His host asked if he could see the puzzle. This was the perfect chance.

He tried to take possession of Ryou, but something... or someone... forced him back.

It stung to. He saw his host pull back in pain. So that had affected him to, huh?

Well, fine then. He would stay hidden for now, and then he would get revenge.

Akefia just sat and watched in his little lair of darkness, right above Ryou, glaring down at that stupid golden puzzle... it was just begging ot be stolen. But he couldn't touch it. Why? Why was that?

He was still trying to think of why it forced him back into the ring when he touched it when he saw a figure appear above the little star- haired brat that the puzzle. It was... the pharaoh. Ha. Ha. Ha.

What a Joyous little reunion.

Pharaoh... Ha. After all these years, you're still here. After all this time. Well, isn't that just peachy.

Pharaoh? The spirit asked, looking confused, And who might that be?

Akefia could not believe his ears (Yes, they were really there, underneath all that hair)... All of that time they had spent fighting... Summoning gods and monsters... This had to be some sort of Joke!! Seriously!!

What do you man 'And who might that be'? Don't play dumb, you bastard!! You know exactly who you are!!

If the pharaoh didn't stop playing this dumb ass game, then he would beat the moron within an inch of his ra- damned life!!

Moron. That is the pharaoh, but he doesn't remember anything!! His memories were obviously destroyed when he was sealed into the puzzle!!

Stay out of this, Zork!!

Fool! Don't go and pick a fi--

There was a shrill buzzing sound then, scaring the three spirits out of their wits. Ryou and the little brat said their goodbyes, and the little white- haired albino hurried home.

It took only ten or so minutes for Ryou to run back to his apartment.

The albino turned on the television, and then went into the kitchen after turning t to channel 9.

The word BATMAN flashed up on the screen, along with some theme music.

A few minutes and two commercial breaks later (Akefia hated those. Seriously hated them. Alright, it wasn't even one week he was here and he already learned more than he had in his entire life and was addicted to BATMAN. Pathetic, considering his past glories, but he felt a connection to this Joker character. That was his kind of guy. a honest, hard- working criminal. Innovative as hell, to.) there was a scene where the Joker came back to the old abandoned warehouse he lived in with Harley (Ryou was back in the room now, sitting on the couch.). There was a giant dish of something called 'pudding' (Which was a desert, apparently.) in the middle of the warehouse, with a spotlight on it and a banner that said 'Happy Anniversary' at the top of it.

There was a voice that said 'I gave them the day off', which was most definitely Harley Quinn, before she emerged from the giant... dish of... pudding. Okay, odd much? She started singing some stupid little anniversary song, covered in pudding.

Okay, that just screamed 'Pudding Sex' right there (Not counting the look on the Jokers face that clearly said 'What the hell?").

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Funny...?

No. Not really. Akefia really didn't wanna see two super villains have sex in a bowl of pudding, as good as this TV show was.

He doubted that they would show that on TV, anyway. Ah, whatever.

Akefia really wanted to get out now. Go out and drink a little. Cause some trouble. And now was the perfect time to do it... the sun was setting, lots of people were starting to come out for a night on the town. Lots of havoc to cause. Lots of chaos and anarchy. Maybe if he were working with the Joker... now there were possibilities! But, alas, The Clown Prince of Crime was a fictional cartoon character. But still, there were some good ideas he got from the show... just no way to actually utilize them in the real world. But still, shadow powers were so much easier, for both torture an killing. It was just to good. To damn good to be out again, 'Out on the Town' as people in this time called it.

He ran out of the apartment, laughing maniacally. Time for some fun!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

He jumped on a bus, telling the driver to take him to downtown domino. When the driver just looked at him like he was insane for not paying his fare, Akefia just glared at him and told him to 'Hurry the hell up or I'll castrate you and curse your family for the rest of eternity, you pathetic little human'. The bus was speeding along not two seconds later.

Akefia jumped off the buss in the downtown district, looking around at all the brightly colored lights and flashing signs, he was almost deaf from all the loud music coming from the night clubs. This was a thief's nightmare, in a way. Loud noises, you could hardly hear anything, like someone sneaking up behind you, if you were trying to get away from someone you pissed off in a club, it was hard to do from the masses of idiots swarming around you in such a tight space.

You couldn't see very well form the flashing lights and so on...

But Akefia was just looking to knock off a few drunk guys, maybe a girl or two. That was no problem with his millennium item. Oh, how he loved the little golden magic trinket he had around his neck.

End ch. 5!!

Ok, so I know that the threat Akefia gave the bus driver was a little extreme, but it was the only thing I could think of. LOL

I'm watching BATMAN episodes, y'know, the ones from the 90's that were really good. I think I'm addicted to the Joker. I don't care if he fills a room with laughing gas or what, I'll still love him to death!!

(And I'll still be laughin' right along with him!! LOL)

Well, I'm done for now.

Y'all come back now, Y'hear?!
