"You Bastard," Yami muttered, earning shocked looks from all of his friends. Never had they heard him say that. Damn. Just...damn.
Even Y. Bakura was a little surprised to hear that from him. But he shrugged it off and grinned at the other spirit. "Follow me if you want her back," he sneered, turning around and walking towards the back of the game shop. Yami growled, following Y. Bakura, his hands clenched into fists.
Everyone followed the two spirits in shocked silence. Y. Bakura then lead them to a door in the back of the arcade, opening it and walking inside, the others following. When all of them were in, the door slammed shut behind them. The floor underneath their feet began to glow bright with multicolor lights. Y. Bakura grinned at them. "I welcome you all to a holographic simulator. Like in duel Monsters, it is designed to create real life holographic pictures," He then pointed to Yami with his free hand. "And I challenge you to a game of Soul Stealer 3..."
Joey gulped. "Awe man...of all the game he had to pick, he just had to pick the one I suck at," he muttered, looking around.
"Make it to the end, and you might get her back. You may have one person help you. Only one. The others will have to watch. Choose carefully, Pharaoh. The game starts in 30 seconds," With that, Y. Bakura disappeared into the shadows, laughing as he did. Ayumi called after Yami, reaching for him with her right hand before disappearing with Bakura in the shadows. Yami growled again, clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
"You should let-" Joey began.
"I'll do it," Shinju butted in Joey's sentence, closing her eyes and re opening them slowly.
Joey turned to the pink haired girl. "But it's too dangerous. I think you should let me-"
"Alright," Yami muttered, his eyes covered by his bangs.
Joey turned to Yami, shocked. "Spirit inside of the Millennium Puzzle says what now?!" The others looked at Joey and shook their heads.
Shinju smirked ever-so-slightly. "You ready, Yami?"
Yami looked at Shinju and arched his eyebrow when she called him 'Yami', but he nodded anyways. Suddenly, both Shinju and Yami had two black, hand held guns in their hands. The arcade room disappeared and they were standing outside of a creepy looking house that looked like something from 'A House on Haunted Hill'. It was dark and thunder rumbled and lightning crashed. Both Yami and Shinju's outfits changed. Both of them were wearing black leather jumpsuits. Yami still had his steel tipped high heeled boots. He also had a series of chains on his outfit, while Shinju's was a two piece.
Joey and the others were watching from a small shack behind the haunted house. Two monitors were visible by each T.V. and each T.V. was hooked up to a small camera that followed Yami and Shinju where ever they went. On the monitors were their score points, and life gauge. "Cool!" Joey breathed, amazed how everything seemed so real.
Shinju grumbled about her outfit and Yami arched his eyebrow when he saw his. Suddenly ambushed by zombies, Shinju shot them luckily, not loosing any points. She handled all the zombies like a pro, shooting them with ease. Yami just simply stood there, shooting at what ever came at him with ease.
Tristan looked at Joey, arching his eyebrow. "How, exactly, is this game hard? It looks pretty easy to me."
Joey chuckled nervously. "It's the first level. Level 1 is always easy," Then, Joey saw some sort of microphone system. He pushed the big black button and said into the microphone. "Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3! Come in Yami and Shinju..."
Back with the other two, a loud screech could be heard in both their head set's. Yami clutched his head. It was really loud. He managed to roll away as a zombie arm came out of the ground and tried to grab him.
Shinju groaned, just barely dodging a zombie. She kicked it in the stomach, sending it hurtling back. She then shot it in its vital spot, his head. Eventually, Yami and Shinju were being backed up to the front porch as dozen upon dozens of zombies began coming from the ground, houses, etc.
"Get into the house now," Joey shouted in both of their ear pieces. Both nodded. Yami turned around and kicked open the door, dragging Shinju inside and slamming the door shut. Both of them inspected the house, spotting a stair case. Both of them then took of running up the stairs.
"Oh yea..." Joey warned. "Watch out for the trap door on the second floor..."
Before either of them could start looking for it, both Shinju and Yami fell down the trap door beneath their feet. Yami got up, rubbed his head and grabbed Shinju just as giant legs came out of the darkness and try to grab her.
"Oh, and there's a giant spider if you do fall down the- you fell down there, didn't you? Well, just to warn ya, it's very hard to kill. You have to have this special gun that is somewhere on the roof."
Yami sighed. "Shinju, you go get the gun," Before she could say anything, he threw her up out of the trap just as it closed on him and the spider.
Shinju cried out a 'whoa', landing with a soft thump on the floor. Quickly getting up, Joey directed her to where the gun could be. The roof, she thought. Quickly making her way over to the roof, she climbed up, having to kill a zombie or two, then grabbing the bright silver gun, and running quickly back inside. Once finding the trap door, she opened it. "CATCH," She yelled, throwing it down to him. She shot any zombies that approached. Yami caught it with his right arm as the Wadjet eye began to glow on his forehead. He then shot the gun at the spider, sending a bight colorful blast at it, hitting it dead on and killing it. "I can't keep them off much longer! They broke through the door!" Shinju cried into her headset as gunfire could be heard in the back ground.
Yami pondered for a second, remembering that there was a storage closet on the first floor. "Head for the storage closet on the first floor," he muttered into his headset, a grin working its way across his face. After much gunfire and cursing later, Yami heard Shinju make it into the closet. "You in?" he asked.
"Yea," Shinju panted.
"Good. And...I'd stay away from the door if I were you..." Yami grinned even more widely. Shinju closes the door quickly, holding the knob and pulling in her direction. But not too tightly because she doesn't want the doorknob to break. The Wadjet eye on Yami's forehead grew brighter, as well as his Millennium puzzle. He let out a mighty battle cry as a blinding burst of energy came off of him and destroyed the entire house. As well as any creature with in two miles. The only thing standing was Shinju and the closet door. And the shack the others were in.
Shinju opened the door slowly, staring wide eyed at the ruins. The only response to be heard on the T.V.'s and Yami's headset was, 'Ho...ly...shit...'
"Holy shit! Yami has high score!"
"Awe man," Shinju whined as she walked over to Yami, who was panting heavily and crouching on the ground. "And I thought I was going to win too!" She paused when she reached him, scratching the back of her head sheepishly. "Thanks for saving me," she muttered. Yami nodded, still trying to catch his breathe. The Wadjet eye was still present on his forehead, glowing brightly.
"Okay, you guys. You both need to head to the cemetery; there is a crypt that will lead to a catacomb. Travel down that catacomb until you find a big chamber, that's where you'll find the final boss. But another warning, the crypt is kind of hard to find. And it's heavily guarded."
"Not for long..." Yami mumbled, cocking the silver gun. He had an evil glint in his eye. Shinju sweat dropped, but followed Yami into the cemetery.
After a while in complete silence, Yami stopped abruptly, causing Shinju to run smack dab into him. She let out an 'oof', about to ask Yami why he stopped, when she froze in place when he had the silver gun pointed directly at her...
