Chapter 3: Mind Control

It was a wet day in the city of Metropolis. Early in the afternoon, a storm hit the area with a good dousing of rain. It is early evening and still raining, but the weather doesn't hinder the Superfriends from their job of protecting the people of the world. Superman and Yugioh are out patrolling the city while the other Superfriends are both on standby and watching over Yugi as he sleeps on after a very exhausting night last night.
"So how is everything?" Flash asked over the computer's communicator.
"Nothing going on here on the south side," Superman responded.
"Not much here on the north side either," Yugioh added.
"Well Yugi's still out like a light as you said Yugioh," Flash said.
"Yeah, he was very exhausted after going through that minefield. I could only guide him out; I couldn't just scoop him up and fly away. There's virtually always a catch when the evil sorcerer is involved," Yugioh said.
Suddenly, a call for help came in over the computer.
"Superfriends, the is NASA. Apollo 9 is in serious trouble. There was some undetected engine trouble, and the shuttle is just orbiting around space. Normally the astronauts could repair it and be on their way, but I just got word that they and the shuttle are right in a black hole's path. They need your help," the head official said.
"Black holes don't affect me. Superman, you head back to the Hall of Jusice. I'll help the astronauts and join you when I finish," Yugioh said.
"Okay Yugioh, good luck," Superman said as he headed back for the Hall of Justice.
Yugioh flew high and fast. Meanwhile, the black hole's pull on the shuttle increased the closer the shuttle got. It would be only a matter of minutes before the shuttle and astronauts were pulled into it and to their deaths. Yugioh got to space in only a few minutes because he flew at his maximum speed. He flew swiftly in search of the astronauts. The people back at NASA still had video contact with the shuttle. They saw that the astronauts didn't have much time left before they were completely in the black hole. Suddenly, a winged figure flew up and push the shuttle out of the black hole's direction.
"Who are you?" one of the two astronauts asked as he opened a hatch.
"I am Yugioh, the newest of the Superfriends," Yugioh responded as he continued to push the shuttle out of the way.
Half an hour later, the shuttle was out of the way of the black hole's path. Yugioh repaired the problems in the engine.
"There, the problem's fixed. You should have no more trouble on your mission," Yugioh said.
"Thank you Yugioh. You saved us from certain doom," the second astronaut said.
"It was nothing," Yugioh said before teleporting back to the Hall of Justice.
"You truly are amazing Yugioh," Black Falcon said.
"The people back in my world think the same thing," Yugioh said.
The rest of the night was quiet, despite the rain. The next morning, Yugioh awakened Yugi. It was a much better day.
"Did you sleep well?" Yugioh asked.
"I sure did. That was the best sleep I've had so far. I was very worn down," Yugi responded. "Anything happen while I was asleep?" he added.
"Two of NASA's astronauts almost got pulled into a black hole. Yugioh saved their lives and fixed the undetected problem in the engine," Batman responded.
"That was a big save," Yugi said.
"You know that I've made three bigger saves Yugi," Yugioh said.
"What do you mean by making three bigger saves?" Aquaman asked.
"In our world, there were three really big things that changed Japan and the world forever. The first happened when President Wong, Japan's president, visited Yugi's school. He would go to schools all over Japan once a year to pick a student to go to one of the United States for a week. He chose Yugi to accompany him to California.
On the plane trip there, one of our nemeses Yami Malik had magically caused engine trouble with the plane. The plane lost altitude fast and headed for a collision course with the ground. Luckily, I can sense when Yugi is in danger. I got to the exact area and flew down to grab the disabled plane. I used my powers to create a towline, and my strength to guide it to the airport in Los Angeles.
That was really the beginning to the people considering me to be a hero. The second save happened while at Disneyland. Yugi wanted to go on the Monorail alone, and I waited until it came back from making its round around the park. Unfortunately, Yami Malike couldn't leave him in peace that time either. Yami Malik broke the track. The Monocar reached the broken track and fell. Luckily, I sensed the people's panic, and Yugi told me what happened.
I once again used my towline and strength to prevent disaster. That wasn't the end of it because the track was destroyed in multiple places. I used my powers to repair the track so the Monocar would return to the starting point safely. The third save was when Yugi and his friend Bakura were out on a boat ride. The weather started off calm enough.
That was when we had the evil sorcerer to deal with. He somehow made the ocean get rougher. Yugi, Bakura and a rubber raft were thrown overboard by a large wave. They were out in the middle of the ocean without food or sight of land nearby. If that wasn't bad enough, their direction put them right in the path of a Category 5 hurricane.
Yami Bakura and I assisted the Coast Guard. It was a very good thing we did or Yugi and Bakura probably wouldn't have survived. Our powers helped the Coast Guard continue their search. I used my powers to keep their helicopter's gas tank at full until they landed at their base. When we flew into the storm, the helicopter was struggling in the brutal winds. Yami Bakura and I used our powers to shield the helicopter from the storm.
Yami Bakura and I found Yugi and Bakura quickly because of our loyal dolphin friends. They kept within sight of the raft even through the storm. The waves proved to be too unpredictable because one became large enough to capsize the raft. I dove into the water and pushed the wave back. It wasn't over as more huge waves threatened to capsize the raft. I fought the waves while the Coast Guard got Yugi and Bakura.
Bakura got on with no problem. Then it was Yugi's turn. The basket ride up started off okay. He was almost in when a strong gust of wind knocked over the basket. He was thrown out and headed for the raging sea below. I sensed that he fell and flew out of the water to catch him, but then I saw that Yami Bakura flew down after him. Yami Bakura caught him and placed him inside the helicopter. Then he, the Coast Guard and I headed back for the boat's dock," Yugioh responded.
"Holy life or death, those were incredible saves. The people, Yugi and Bakura would have surely died if you didn't show up when you did. You are a true superhero," Robin said.
"I really don't think of myself that way," Yugioh said.
"I do Yugioh. Ever since the Millennium puzzle brought you into my life, I always felt safe because your presence was always with me. You were always so confident, but also loyal and trustworthy. I always saw you as my hero. That day when your evil self returned, I feared that I lost you forever, but you didn't give up even though the fight with your evil self was the most difficult battle of your life. It was through our bond and through our love for each other that you were able to vanquish your evil side forever," Yugi said.
"I never thought you felt that way about me Yugi," Yugioh said.
"Yugi summed up how the other Superfriends and I feel about you Yugioh," Wonder Woman said. "Even though we have known each other for only three days, you have proven how willing you were to work in and as a team a million times over. You have save the entire city of Metropolis and other parts of the world from total chaos and destruction the bombs would have caused. You also saved two astronauts as well as Superman from extreme and certain death."
Meanwhile in the Hall of Doom, the Legion of Doom was up to its original foul play. The evil sorcerer had created a mind control machine that could put the entire world under the Legion of Doom's command. Even the Superfriends wouldn't be able to resist the powerful brainwashing of the mind control machine.
"This machine will bring the world under our control without the slightest struggle. Even the Superfriends will finally be controlled by evil. This machine is strengthened by our even more by my powers, guaranteeing that no one that falls under its brainwashing effects can resist it. The only ones that won't be effected by the machine are Yugioh and us; everyone else will follow our every command without hesitation or argument," the evil sorcerer said.
"To think that all we had to do all this time was create a poweful mind machine. Our world conquest could've happened much sooner. Now that we have it, we can finally reach our goal," Toyman said before snickering.
"Yes Toyman, this is the chance that we have been waiting for. We'll set the mind control under the Atlantic Ocean," Luthor said.
"No sooner said than done Luthor," the evil sorcerer said. He snapped his fingers, and the machine reappeared under the Atlantic Ocean's depths.
Back at the Hall of Justice, Yugioh prepared to have some fun with Yugi. He scooped up Yugi and walked outside.
"Have fun you two," Superman said.
"When Yugioh's calling the shots, I always have fun," Yugi said before Yugioh flew off. "So where are we going?" he added.
"We're going out of this world," Yugioh responded as he tightened his grip on Yugi a little as he went higher into the sky. He sped up to his maximum speed as he went higher. This time, he had something different in store for Yugi.
Yugi gasped as he felt that Yugioh went slowly all though that clearly wasn't the case. "How do I feel that you're going slow when the truth is that you are going really fast?" he asked.
"I used my powers on you differently this time. I made it so that you would feel like you were inside an airplane. You feel that the airplane is going slow when it is actually traveling at least 500 miles per hour," Yugioh responded.
Yugi then felt Yugioh give him oxygen, as the air was rapidly getting thinner due to Yugioh's speed. They were in space in only a few minutes. Yugioh had another thing in store for Yugi. He unwrapped his arm from under Yugi's knees and carefully and firmly took Yugi's hand. Then Yugioh unwrapped his arm from around Yugi's back. Yugi could barely comprehend the feeling he was currently receiving. He felt like he could actually fly as well.
"This is amazing. I feel like I can fly like you in this position," Yugi said in awe.
"While we're here, you can float as you found out the last time I took you to space. It was unfortunate that you and Keisha floated right towards the sun," Yugioh said as he flew on, holding Yugi's hand.
Yugi always loved coming to space. The first time Yugioh brought him here, he never felt so carefree about anything. He felt like he didn't have a worry in the world because the vastness and beauty of space always distracted the troubles going on in his mind. He felt that he could truly be at peace in outer space.
Yugioh couldn't help but smile. 'I've never see Yugi calmer than this before. He feels so relaxed that it's like I'm holding nothing but air,' he thought. He approached Mars and decided to do a revolution (A/N: Hope you paid attention in science class).
It didn't take long for Yugioh to do a complete revolution around Mars. Yugi was as stunned as he was relaxed. He really couldn't describe what he was seeing. He couldn't find what to say at all. He stayed silent as he and Yugioh continued through space hand in hand. Meanwhile, the Legion of Doom had already activated the mind control machine under the ocean depths. Luthor had set it to control everyone in the world to do his and the rest of the Legion of Doom's bidding.
The ultrasonic waves of the machine spread throughout the world. Everyone fell under the control of the waves. No one in the world was safe from falling under the sinister machine. Even the Superfriends who were waiting in case they were needed had fallen under the mind control. Within only a minute, the waves stopped flowing, but the work had already been done. The people of the world were now slaves to the Legion of Doom.
"Now everyone is under our control. The best part is that the can't be brought out of it unless the machine itself is destroyed," Braniac said.
"That's right Braniac. Yugi and Yugioh are still in space so they have no idea of what just happened. Even though the machine has been turned off, the effects are almost completely irreversible," the evil sorcerer said. "Now Yugioh will have a serious dilemma on his hands. He has to not only protect Yugi, but also do it so that he won't hurt anyone," he added snickering.
Yugi and Yugioh spent the entire day in space. That night, Yugioh scooped up Yugi again and teleported back to the Hall of Justice. Unaware of what happened, they went in to greet the Superfriends. Yugi walked in first to be tied up by something. He saw Batman holding the other end of a rope.
"What are you doing?" Yugi asked.
Batman didn't respond as Black Falcon and Superman fired a combo of lightning and heat vision straight at Yugi's chest. Yugioh got in front of Yugi and took the blow himself. Of course, he wasn't affected one bit because he was invincible.
"What do you guys think you're doing?" Yugioh asked.
"Destroy Yugi," was the reply.
Yugioh broke the rope and scooped Yugi up. He then flew up, phasing through the ceiling as he went higher. A few minutes later, they saw army tanks firing at them. Yugioh unwrapped his arm from under Yugi's knees and held Yugi close to him. He put a shield over Yugi as he flew on.
"The people have turned against me," Yugi said.
"I don't think that it was exactly the people Yugi. I have a feeling that this is the Legion of Doom's work. When Batman, Superman and Black Falcon attacked you, I sensed something very out of place. I felt that they were literally not in their right minds. The Legion of Doom must've somehow managed to control even their just minds," Yugioh said.
A few hours later, Yugi started to feel sleepy. Yugioh wrapped his arm back undere Yugi's knees so Yugi would be sitting down in his arms. The shield was never taken off as Yugioh did so. He knew that he would have to be within earshot if not even closer to Yugi until they found a way to break the mind control over the people.



I've decided to carry this into the next one or two chapters. Preview for Chapter 4: Two vs. the World: Yugioh has to keep a very close eye on Yugi as the armed forces of the entire world attack them. The worse thing is that the Superfriends are giving the forces a hand in the mission to destroy Yugi at any cost. What can two people do when the whole world is against them?

Oh, and if you have something you want to see in chapter 4, don't hesitate to tell me. This chapter is going to be difficult since there are a lot of ways that it can work. My thoughts for it are jumbling all over my head so I can't get them straight. Will you please take the time to help me out on this one? It won't be easy without help.
