Done a quick chapter count and were just over half way through this story, and it’s still f***ing awesome, once again a big thanks goes out to Ian Robb for putting this together.

Warning: Many beeps ahead.

Chapter Seven – Egyptian Dragons

A short while later, the group of people were wandering towards the city again; Vger now back instead of Urtheart and Tristan-Andy carrying Duke-T.A’s sound system, his music playing as they walked

“Seriously, turn that music off” Vger growled “If I hear Sexyback one more time, I swear I’m not gonna be responsible for shoving it down your damn throat”

“Okay then” Duke-T.A replied, switching off the music “No need to get annoyed”

“Yeah, what’s with you, Yugi?” Joey-Spin asked “You’re a lot more annoyed than usual…”

“You think?!” Vger exclaimed “I have been traipsing around this world for the best part of the day and for what?! A psychotic doll, a useless girl, two doofuses without a brain cell between you, and a living oxymoron with a fan girl club that’ll make Blake envious!”

“…So you’re slightly peeved?” Tristan-Andy asked

“Screw you guys. I’m outta here” Vger said, storming off by himself into the distance

“I think he just needs a cookie” Rebecca-Vulpa commented as the group saw the irate fox moan to himself.

“Stupid game making me a living butt monkey” Vger raged “I’ve endured so much pain, and for what?! Nothing!”

“Well, it was your idea to have the game in the first place” Urtheart replied

“Don’t give me that! If you hadn’t got that dolt Ahkmin involved…Hey, where IS Ahkmin?”

“Don’t look at me – I haven’t got a clue”

“Oh fantastic” Vger sighed “Now what do I do?”

“Perhaps I can illuminate your darkness” a female voice floated towards Vger. Towards them strode a young woman about his height with fair brown hair wearing fine Egyptian cotton. A golden necklace adorned with an eye hung around her neck, a contrast to her pale skin. But even more of a contrast was her pale horns and her vivid red dragon claws and matching tail.

“Oh god, not Sofia too?” Vger exclaimed “Who are you, Mystic Meg?”

“My name, good sir, is Ishizu” the woman replied “And I can help clear the fog that surrounds your problems”

“Hey – why are you here in the first place?” Vger asked

“Because-Shut up” Ishizu-Sofia replied tersely “Now, do you want my help or not?”

“Sure – why not waste more of my time with another loony?” Vger said in annoyance

“It seems that you seek my brother…The one who holds the Millennium Rod and the power of mind control”

“Wait – your brother is Ahkmin? This doesn’t sound good…”

“The one called Ahkmin I cannot say” Ishizu-Sofia said “But that loaf of a brother who seems to like his ‘friend’ Bakura more than cheese is the one to find. To get to them, you need to find Kaiba – only then can you find them. And at the top of it all, the man of the winged horse”

“Pegasus” Urtheart said “I said it’s always Pegasus”

“I know – you said it before” Vger scowled “So how do we find them?”

“I don’t know – I’m not a mind reader” the mystic replied “Now if you excuse me, my purpose as a plot device is over”

“Oh no, lassie” Vger said, grabbing Ishizu-Sofia’s arm “You’re coming with me”

“B-But I have a giant rock to protect!”

“It’ll be there when you return” Vger said, dragging the dragoness towards the group “It’s not going to go anywhere”

“You’d be surprised – last week it was in Barbados. I had to endure blissful weather and serene beaches to keep an eye on it”

“…Please tell me you didn’t take it on holiday?”

“It understands my complex life, okay?” Ishizu-Sofia barked back, getting very defensive over the subject.

“Okaaaay…” Vger said slowly

“Odd girl” Urtheart mused

“I agree” Vger concurred as he approached the group with caution

“Hey – Yugi’s back!” Tristan-Andy exclaimed as the fox approached the group again

“Well, looks like no Carolina Rage was needed to find him, North or otherwise” Joey-Spin added

“My music box…” Duke-T.A moaned, a fist-shaped hole punched squarely through it “Now how will people know that I’m around?”

“I’m pretty sure your ‘unique’ personality will suffice…” Vger sighed in despair

“I sense these people are somewhat…eccentric” Ishizu-Sofia said

“No sh-” Vger started to curse before a phantom bleep cut off his words “What the hell was that?”

“The censor” Ishizu-Sofia explained “It’s there to cut off any strong expletives uttered”

“GrrrrrARGH!” Vger yelled in frustration “What the *BLEEP* has that got to *BLEEP* *BLEEP* deal with it?! I’m gonna *BLEEP* *BLEEP* take *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* with a shovel and *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* up your *BLEEP* *BLEEP* and *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* *BLEEP* so you have to *BLEEP* sideways!”

“…Is that possible?” Tristan-Andy asked

“Seriously, *BLEEP* you guys” Vger cursed as he wandered away “Just show me to Kaiba and let’s get it over and done with.”
