Final Fantasy 7 - Yu-Gi-Oh style Chapter 20: Heeeeeeeere’s Obby!!!   Previously: Atem smiled lovingly at the two sleeping peacefully in the coffin. He took out the dark stone and pressed it against the crystal like substance. It warped just enough for his hand to slip in and the materia floated out of his offered hand. He withdrew his hand and that was when all hell broke loose.           &n bsp;      Mai stood on the deck of the Black Tyranno staring at the glowing crater below. She didn’t have enough time to worry about her friend for the barrier around the crater began to glow even brighter and spread outward. Suddenly the snow and ice broke apart and an enormous monster climbed out of its hiding place. It seemed that the old legends were true after all for to everyone’s horror, the monster called Obelisk the Tormentor by the Ancients had been awoken!            & nbsp;   The airship lurched as the Tormentor flew by off towards who knew where. Mai desperately attempted to keep her footing, but the sheer force of the winds caused by the monster’s passing proved to be to strong for her and she fell backward onto the deck, hitting her head and falling unconscious.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~         ;          Mai found herself back at the Domino train station near the Sector 7 slums. She quickly realized that she was looking at a time shortly before everything had begun. “Atem, Yugi...” she whispered to herself, “I wish I knew what to do then. I’m so sorry.”          &nb sp;     She fought back tears as she watched the memory play itself out. Just as she’d expected, Yugi/Atem appeared on the scene, collapsing on the train platform. The station master stationed at the time ran over to him. “You ok?” he asked, hoping he’d didn’t have to deal with yet another dead body The boy moaned, struggling to get up but failed. “You poor kid,” pitied the station master.                 The dream Mai came running up to them, then bent down to help him to a sitting position. “Daijoubu ka? (Are you alright?)” she asked.           & nbsp;    “M-Mai?” he moaned.                 The blonde’s eyes widened as she recognized who it was she’d just helped. “Yugi?!”          ;       “Yep! That’s me!” he chirped, starting to feel a bit better.                 “Is it really you, Yugi?! I’d never think you’d show up in a place like this.” The dream Mai then promptly glomped her childhood friend.                 “I-It’s been a while,” he said after escaping her grasp.           & nbsp;    “What happened, Yugi? You look like death warmed over.”          & nbsp;     “Hm…I’m ok Mai. It’s nothing.”         &nbs p;      She knew he was lying, but chose to ignore it, believing that if he wanted to talk about it, he would when he was ready. “So how long has it been?” she asked, quickly changing the subject. “What, three years? Four?”          & nbsp;     Yugi suddenly gripped his head in pain, but it soon passed. “Five actually,” he said, waving her worried hand away. “What?” he asked when he noticed the frown on her face.             ;    “It’s been a really long time, Yugi,” she said looking at the ground as she sat next to him. “It’s actually seven years since I last saw you. So you got your wish and joined SOLDIER huh?” she asked noticing the remains of a SOLDIER uniform on him.           &nb sp;    “Yeah, I did. But...”                 “I know,” she replied, “I can tell. You quit. After what happened with Bakura right?” He nodded.                 “I’m a merc now.”          &n bsp;     Mai stood as she watched her dream self and Yugi talk with each other. “You told me everything that you did when you left Nibelheim,” she spoke to the dream Yugi, knowing he couldn’t hear her. “But I could tell something wasn’t right. Some of the things you said didn’t just add up. You forgot things and somehow knew things you shouldn’t have. When you said you were going to leave again as soon as you got better, I didn’t like it. I didn’t want you to leave me all alone again. I didn’t know what to do about what was wrong with you, so I told you about AVALANCHE. I just wanted you to stay.” Tears fell unbidden and unheeded down her cheeks as the dream ended and faded away to nothingness.   ~~~~~~~~~~~        &n bsp;         Mai woke up to find herself locked up in some kind of cell with Honda, where they were, she didn’t know nor did she care. She wanted to find Atem or Yugi or both. It appeared  that they were somewhere in Junon.            &n bsp;   “Hey you’re awake!” the brunet said, relieved as he came over to her. “You’ve been sleeping for a long time. Glad to see you’re ok though.”                 “I’m…” she started, but changed her mind, “hungry.”           ;      “How come you ain’t askin’ about him?”          &n bsp;     “Because I don’t want to know, I’m scared.”                 “Don’t blame you, Mai,” he said, frowning, “I don’t know what happened either. None of the others know.”           &n bsp;    “He’s got to be alive right?” Honda only shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. “H-How long have I been sleeping?”          &nbs p;     “You’ve been out of it for a week Mai.”           &nb sp;    Her eyes widened, wondering how was it that they were still in one piece after what had happened back at the crater. “What’s happening with Bakura?”                 “Remember that weird barrier back at the crater?” She nodded. “Well it kinda grew and now no one can even get near there. Good thing is that Bakura and Yugi are still asleep somewhere in there. Damn!” He pounded his fist against the wall, leaving a small dent. “There’s nothing we can do about! We just have to sit and wait for ‘em to wake up. But what really stinks is that some monster called Obelisk is running around now.”           &nb sp;    “Obelisk?”         &nbs p;      “Yeah. It’s some kinda legendary monster, that’s what they’ve been saying. Anyway, it came from the crater Mai.”           &nb sp;    “So Bakura sent it?”           &nbs p;    “Not sure. All I heard is that it’s been going nuts destroying all kinds of stuff. Kaiba’s trying to stop it. As much as I hate the guy, he’s got a lot of guts. We should be the ones out there fighting that thing! But it really doesn’t matter now. There’s no time left.” He sat on the cot across from her, totally defeated.             ;    “No time? You don’t mean?”           &n bsp;    “Look outside, Mai,” he said grimly, pointing to a window.            & nbsp;   The blond went over to the window and gasped. A huge fiery rock the size of the moon could be seen the sky. Bakura had summoned Meteor. “So we’re giving up.” It wasn’t a question.             ;    “…” Honda said nothing. What was there to say when the world was on the verge of complete and utter destruction?           &n bsp;    A few moments later, Seto Kaiba strode into the cell, a smug look on his face. “I would have thought the shrimp would come save you,” he sneered, “Looks like that freak Pegasus doesn’t get his guinea pig back.”           &n bsp;    “What did you do to him?!” yelled Mai.            &nbs p;   “Why should you care? In a bit it won’t even matter anyway.”                 Marik came in, grinning like the cat that ate the canary. “Yo boss, we’re all ready for the public execution.”          &nb sp;     “What’s the big idea?!” Honda fumed. “It’s no use executing us now! You’ll wind up dead anyway when that big rock hits!”           &n bsp;    “The people are panicking. They need a scapegoat or else I’d be dead before Meteor hits.”           &n bsp;    “Mai, forget what I said about this *bleep*. I’m takin’ it all back!”           &n bsp;    “I hope you enjoy your last moments together,” sneered the blue eyed CEO.            &nbs p;   Marik handcuffed their arms behind their back, chuckling the whole time as they were led to a sort of conference room. Several people with notebooks, microphones, and cameras were there sitting in the chairs that had been neatly arranged into rows.            &nb sp;   “Are we all here?” queried Anzu, still wearing her trademark slutty red dress. “Good. These are the ones who started all this mess,” she said indicating the bound AVALANCHE members.                 “The hell we did!” spat Honda.            &n bsp;   She ignored him and continued to address the media “As you well know we will be broadcasting their deaths on all the major networks.”          &nbs p;     “Miss Mazaki,” piped on one reporter, “Why did Kaiba Corp. decide on a public execution when the last one was over a hundred years ago?”           &nb sp;    “With all the havoc caused by Meteor, we felt that punishing those responsible publicly would help increase the public’s morale.”                 “You sick *bleep*!” spat Mai.            &nbs p;   Anzu turned to the blonde, sneering as she whispered in her ear. “You know, they won’t admit to it, but people loooooooooove this kind of stuff.” She turned back to the media. “I think we’ll start with her.”           &nb sp;    “If you’re gonna kill us, kill me first!” Honda shouted, desperately trying to get between the guards and Mai.            &nbs p;   “Point your cameras over here!” squealed Anzu. Several of the cameramen obeyed and zoomed on the prisoners. “The public just looooooves heroics like that!”           &n bsp;    A few moments later, the scuffle was ended with Honda being restrained by four soldiers and Mai was led to a gas chamber with cameras stationed at all four corners and a chair in the middle. The blonde struggled as she was forced and strapped into the chair. “What are you going to do?” she asked, trying to keep her voice from shaking.                 “I hope you enjoy a very slow and painful death,” sneered Anzu. To tell the truth she was rather glad to be rid of a girl who many had considered to be much better looking than her. “Slut,” she spat, slapping her with such force that Mai’s head hit the back of the metal chair and knocked her out.            &nbs p;   Anzu then sashayed out of the gas chamber. The soldier who had brought in Mai got distracted by her slutty red dress and missed his pocket, dropping the keys to the chair and door.            &nb sp;   Anzu reappeared in the conference room. She hit a button on the remote she had been carrying and the wall behind her slid up to reveal a window into the gas chamber.                 “Enjoy the show, minna,” she beamed.            & nbsp;   Before anything could start, the P.A. system suddenly crackled to life. “Emergency!” it cried, “Emergency. Attention all military personnel! Obelisk is approaching the city! Battle stations!”          &nbs p;     “Ai ya!” cried a reporter, “It’s Obelisk!!!!”          &n bsp;     “Everyone for themselves!!!!” cried another.                 Pandemonium broke out as everyone in the room pushed, shoved, and trampled their way out of the room and the building.             ;    “Why did it had to show up now?!!” yelled a very irate Anzu.            &nb sp;   “So how does it feel now Anzu?” mocked the one remaining reporter.             ;    “Huh?” She turned to see a man standing by Honda. “You’re still here? I’m impressed. So you want to know how I feel? I’ll tell you how I feel. I’m…” She never got to finish her rant for the reporter quickly sprayed a can of knockout gas directly in her face.            &nb sp;   “What the?!” asked a very shocked Honda.            &n bsp;   The reporter then began to uncuff Honda’s arms. “I came to help,” he said, then removing his clothes. Instead of a man, there stood a cat perched on top of a stuffed moogle.            & nbsp;   “Ryuuji?! But I thought you were with them!”          & nbsp;         “Yes, well, I’m against making public spectacles at times like these. Besides I really hate that slut. You go get Mai, I’ll stand guard here.”           &n bsp;    The brunet nodded and dashed to the door of the gas chamber. “*Bleep*! It won’t open!” he yelled.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Meanwhile in the command center above Junon’s canon…           & nbsp;    “Wheeee! It’s Obelisk!” squealed Marik, eager to see more of the monster’s devastation.           &n bsp;    “It just won’t stop,” complained Seto, “Do you think we’ll be able to deal with it this time?”           &n bsp;    “Sure thing, boss,” Marik replied, though he’d rather just let it run amok, the planet was probably going to be destroyed by Meteor anyway.            & nbsp;   “You’d better not let me down again like the other times,” the CEO warned.            & nbsp;   “We’ve got the biggest canon around, boss!” the deranged blond said, beaming. “One whack from it and ol’ Obby out there’ll be fertilizer.” He then went over to the canon’s intercom. “All right, you lazy bums!” he called, “Open the cannon doors! Hit Obelisk with all that baby’s got!”           &nb sp;    All over Junon people were running to the nearest shelters while the upper buildings were being shielded by huge metal barricades rising from the ground. Once the city was fortified, its otherwise hidden guns rose as well and locked into position. The rest of the military took up several positions, their various weapons pointed out to the sea.            &nbs p;   “All set Marik, sir!” came a soldier’s voice over the intercom.             ;    “Fire!!!!” the blond commanded.           &nbs p;    The canon came to life and let loose an enormous roar as a mako shell shot straight for the slowly approaching harbinger of doom. It hit Obelisk dead center in his chest but there wasn’t even a scratch on him.             ;             & nbsp;   “Did we get it?” the brunet asked, peering out the window above the canon            &nb sp;   “Of course we did!” Marik beamed. “The shot hit him dead center.”                 “Obelisk approaching!” crackled the intercom. “He’s headed this way!”           &nb sp;    “No *bleep*in’ way!!!” yelled Marik. “That shot hit!!!”           & nbsp;    “Don’t just sit there!” ordered Seto, “Hit him again!”           & nbsp;    “We need to reload and that takes time,” grumbled Marik.            &n bsp;   “So?! We’ve got other weapons right?!” Marik nodded. “Then use them you idiot?!”                 “You morons heard him!” spat Marik, “Hit him with everything we’ve got! Don’t let that *bleep*er get within an inch of Junon!”           & nbsp;    At that command, the twilit sky was set further ablaze with countless showers of mako shells from bazookas and an endless hail of mako bullets. However, no matter how much they threw at him, Obelisk just kept coming. The puny attacks only served to make him angrier and speed up. When he finally reached Junon, Obelisk lifted one enormous hand and balled it into a fist. The canon fired just in time to make the monster miss his target. The punch hit the area below the canon, making an enormous gaping hole, which coincidentally was where Mai was supposedly being executed.             ;    The monster was knocked back into the ocean due to the force of the mako shell being fired at such a short distance. Grumbling to itself, Obelisk decided that these puny creatures were not worth his times and energy and turned around and went off to only the gods knew where.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~   Shortly before Obby’s attack…                 “Gas!” yelled Mai as she came to. There was a slight hissing sound and a faint fog was beginning to roll into the chamber. “Honda!”                 “I can’t get the door open Mai!” came the brunet’s voice from the other side of the locked door. “Try to hold your breath as long as you can! I’m gonna look for another way in!”           &nbs p;    “Are you nuts?!” she called back, but the brunet was long gone. Sighing, she began to struggle noticing the dropped keys. Maneuvering her legs, she managed to kick the key ring up and was lucky enough to catch it with her mouth. She immediately bent forward and began to try the keys. She let out a short breath of relief as the second one fit. She quickly turned it and her left arm came free of the shackle keeping it to the chair. Mai wasted no time in setting her other arm free.            &nb sp;   Just at that moment, one of the walls caved in and a gaping hole was revealed. Seeing her chance, she dashed through the hole and began climbing up the wall.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~                   “I couldn’t get the door open!” wailed Honda as he came running up to Ryuuji.            & nbsp;   “Guess it’s time for Plan B,” said the cat. To the airport!”            ;     “There’s no way I’m leaving Mai you *bleep*in’ cat!”           &nb sp;    “Honda, please,” begged the cat, “just trust me! I’ve got a hunch!” Unbeknownst to the brunet, Ryuuji had been listening on the military’s airwaves to the reports on the attack.            & nbsp;   Seeing that he had no choice, Honda reluctantly followed the cat and moogle ran out of the building and down the now eerily empty main street. About halfway, they were stopped by a reporter with a handicam. “I know you’re probably in a hurry,” he said stopping in front of them and zooming the camera on Honda’s confused and angry face. “but could you give us your opinion on…”          &nb sp;     Honda shoved the reporter out of the way. “*Bleep* off!” he yelled and started running down the street again. The reporter however, wasn’t deterred at all. He then ran after him, removing the bandannas covering his face and head.            &nb sp;   “You didn’t have to be so mean!” he shouted. “It’s me! Mokuba!”                 Honda then skidded, nearly falling flat on his face. “What the *bleep* are you doing here?!” he asked, utterly flabbergasted at finding one of his missing comrades in the middle of a monster attack.            & nbsp;   “No time to explain,” the boy said pulling on his arm, “We’ve gotta get to the airport!”            ;     A few minutes later, they reached the empty airport. Honda stared at the deserted area nervously, “I hope you know what you’re doing cat. You’d better not try nothin’ ‘cause I’m counting on you to cover my back, partner.”         &nbs p;      “Don’t worry! I’ve got everything covered,” grinned Ryuuji.            & nbsp;   “Why don’t I feel relieved,” muttered the taller brunet.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Meanwhile, back with Mai…           &nb sp;    After climbing all the way to the top of the prison wall, the blonde woman found herself stranded on the canon’s shaft with no visible path of escape except for certain death by drowning in the sea below and she wasn’t too keen on dying just yet – even if she was going to die anyway should Meteor not be stopped.                 “Looks like I win at this little game of ours,” said a brunette girl in a rather slutty red dress. Anzu apparently had witnessed her escape and followed her up the wall and onto the canon. “The execution may have been botched, but I’m sure your death by drowning as you crash into the ocean would be just as thrilling.” She then slapped her. Mai however, remained silent, holding her head high, refusing to give the *bleep* the satisfaction. “Still full of ourself I see,” she said, slapping her for the third time that day.            &nbs p;   “Stop that, you fat brat!” scolded Mai and she returned the slap, causing a matching mark appear on her face. “There!” she said smugly, “Some rouge to match that rag you’re wearing!”            ;     For the next two minutes, the two females had a no holds barred *bleep* slapping contest. Eventually Anzu grew tired and slipped on the sweat and droplets of blood on the cannon’s shaft. She winced as she ingloriously landed on her rear, however she ignored the pain and glared at her opponent.             ;    At that moment, a squad of soldiers finally decided to show up. The brunette allowed herself be helped up and began laughing. “Now you’re gonna pay *bleep*! Get her!” she commanded. The soldiers began to advance on the blonde. She fearfully glanced at the sea behind her. Could she do it? Would she?            &nbs p;   Suddenly she heard a voice from below the cannon. “Mai! Get to the end of the canon!”           & nbsp;    Recognizing who was calling her, she immediately obeyed and dashed to the end, the soldiers dogging her heels. As she reached her destination, Kaiba’s private airship shot up from below and she saw Honda and Mokuba holding onto a rope dangling from the side. Taking that as her cue, she grabbed the rope. The two began to pull her up as the Black Tyranno sped away from Junon.   ~TBC!~     Sakura: It just keeps getting worse! ;_;   Yugi: But it all works out right in the end, right?   Sakura: Yu-chan!
