Chapter 9: Plane Disaster and Disneyland Trip
It was two days after the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon incident. Things have calmed down considerably since then. Yugi is back at school. At lunchtime, he and his friends talk.
"What really happened Yugi?" Bakura asked. "Something other than a little accident had to happen to keep you away for a couple of days," he added.
"I was captured by the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon again. Yami Malik is getting desperate now. He had the dragon take me while I was still in my own house," Yugi said.
There was a gasp from all his friends.
"That's terrible," Joey said.
"I'm with you," Tristan said.
The others nodded in agreement. At the end of lunchtime, they went to their homeroom class. The principal was in the class.
"I have an announcement to make. We have a very special guest visiting today. Will you please say hello to President Wong," Mrs. Chang said.
The President walked in. The class warmly greeted him.
"I am glad to be here with you today. I come to a school once a year to pick a student to travel to one of the United States of America with me. We always spend a week wherever we go. All of the past students have enjoyed their experience in America. Now, I have come here to choose one of you to accompany me," President Wong said.
All of the students were excited about just meeting the President and were anxious about who the President would pick.
"You are all very interesting people, and the choice was very difficult to make," he said. He walked over to Yugi and said, "Yugi Moto, I choose you to come to California with me," he added.
Yugi was dumbstruck. "Really?" he asked.
"This is no joke Yugi. I want you to have the experience of being in one of the United States, " President Wong said.
The rest of the class cheered. They all said the same thing, "All right Yugi!"
Yugi still couldn't believe he was chosen. After a few seconds, his state of shock was replaced with excitement. /Yugioh/
//Yes?//
/The President of Japan came today. He chose me to get the experience of being in California with him/
//That's wonderful! We'll get you ready when we get home//
"We will be leaving tomorrow morning. Yugi, you have a big experience waiting for you," the President said smiling.
"I can't wait," Yugi said.
The rest of the day was great for Yugi and his friends. His friends were all very excited for him. They knew that he deserved to go more than anyone else here. They all told him to have a good time and to tell them all about the experience. After school, Yugi sat outside, waiting for Yugioh.
"Do you want a ride home?" President Wong asked.
"No thank you. I'm waiting for one of my best friends," Yugi responded. He looked up and added, "And here he comes now."
President Wong looked up to see Yugioh land next to Yugi. Even though he saw the mall incident on the news, he was still very amazed to see a winged person who was very much alive.
"Yugioh, this is President Wong. Mr. President, this is Yugioh, former Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt," Yugi said.
"I am honored to meet you Yugioh," President Wong said.
"The pleasure is all mine. I am honored to meet the President of Japan," Yugioh said. He picked up Yugi and flew for home.
When they arrived home ten minutes later, Yugi told his grandfather what happened today.
"That's wonderful Yugi! Why don't you go upstairs to pack," Solomon said.
Yugi went upstairs to pack for tomorrow. Unknown to him, a duel monster was watching him the whole time with the help of a spell that it placed over the house. The spell allowed it to see and hear what was going on. It also went invisible so not to draw much attention. After hearing about the plane trip, it reported back to Yami Malik.
"You bring back good news indeed my friend. I'm sure that Yugioh won't be there with Yugi. The very plane trip will be Yugi's own death," Yami Malik said.
That night, Yugi could barely sleep because he was very excited.
"Yugi, if you don't get any rest, you'll be too tired for tomorrow," Yugioh said.
"I know, but I'm too excited to sleep," Yugi said.
Yugioh's hand glowed pink, and he touched the side of Yugi's face. Yugi calmed down as he felt the magic coursing through him. He was asleep in seconds, but not before telling Yugioh thank you.
The next morning, Yugioh awakened Yugi.
"Get ready, you have to leave soon," Yugioh said.
Yugi was prepared in a little over an hour because his excitement came back at full force. Then the doorbell rang. Solomon opened it to see none other than President Wong at the door.
"Good morning Mr. President," Solomon said.
"I'd take it that you're Yugi's grandfather right?" the President asked.
"Yes I am," Solomon responded. "Yugi, President Wong is here," he added.
Yugioh and the secret service people with the President helped Yugi to get his things in the back of the President's limo.
"Have a good time Yugi," Yugioh said.
"I'm sure he will," President Wong said smiling.
Then Yugi and President Wong got in the limo, and the driver drove off.
"Of all the people I have encountered, I have never expected someone as humble as you are Yugi. I am pretty much like you," the President said.
"What do you mean?" Yugi asked.
"I don't wallow in the life of luxury like other wealthy people. I prefer to be like the regular people of the country. I am more of a humble person like you. That's why we're going to the airport instead of taking a private plane," the President said responded.
They arrived at the airport half an hour later. They went through security in just about no time flat (A/N: Like you would want to keep the President waiting). The people knew how good President Wong was. He was a man who was strict on honor, tolerance, courtesy and wisdom. He and Yugi also got their tickets pretty quickly as well.
As they were going to put their luggage on the machine that transports it to another airport, Yugi's luggage mysteriously vanished.
'How odd. How did my stuff just disappear?' Yugi thought. He dismissed it and prepared to board the plane. He noticed a lot of news people around as well as a lot of tourists. He didn't know how he felt it, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was waiting to go desperately wrong.
Meanwhile, Yugioh was in the park with Te`a, Tristan, Joey, Bakura, Yami Bakura and Kaiba.
"Yugi really deserved to go. After all that happened to him, he just needs to relax and have fun," Te`a said.
"I know what you mean. A lot has happened to him in only a year and a half," Yugioh said.
At the airport, the plane took off at 8 am. So far, everything was going well. However, Yami Malik created a vision screen in his secret place to see the plane. He would wait unil about a few hours after the plane reached its maximum height. Then he would give it a little engine trouble.
An hour later, the plane reached its maximum height of 6 miles. Five hours later, there was still no trouble at all. All of a sudden, the pilot and co-pilot were having trouble keeping the plane in the air. The sensors aboard reported engine failure.
"Folks, it seems as though we are having some unusual engine failure," the pilot said over the intercom.
As soon as he finished talking, the engines died, and the plane went down at an alarming speed. Meanwhile, Yugioh and friends were resting after a very good time in the park. They had a race, a swim in the lake and a little walk. Now they were talking again.
"Well, this is turning out to be a good day," Joey said.
"I agree. I haven't had this much fun in a long time," Kaiba said.
Yugioh suddenly gasped as he got a mental image of the plane that Yugi was on.
"What's wrong Yugioh?" Bakura asked.
"The plane that Yugi is on is going down," Yugioh responded.
"How can that be?" Te`a asked. "The planes here have never had problems before," she added.
"The plane is not having ordinary trouble," a voice said.
"Who is that?" Tristan asked.
"What do you mean Great Spirit?" Yugioh asked, responding to Tristan's question.
"The plane's engines died, but not on their own. Yami Malik caused the trouble," the Great Spirit responded.
"Oh no, all those people on there with Yugi will die as well," Bakura said.
"Not if I can help it," Yugioh said. He disappeared and reappeared in the spot of the engine failure. He saw the troubled plane not too long afterwards. He pulled in his wings and dove after the plane. He easily overtook the plane with his great speed.
When in front of the plane, he created used his powers to create a towline. With his great strength, he stopped the plane's descent with no trouble at all.
The pilot felt that the plane was no longer falling. 'How come we're not falling anymore?' he thought.
The co-pilot looked up. "Look, it's Yugioh, the winged Pharaoh from the news," she said.
The pilot looked up and indeed saw Yugioh in front of the plane. "I don't believe it everyone. Yugioh is holding the plane up like it is just a piece of scratch paper," he said over the intercom.
The people looked ahead. Only those close to the front and in the middle of the plane could see Yugioh holding the plane up.
//Are you all right Yugi?//
/Yes, thanks to you/
//Is everyone else all right?//
/They're fine. You saved us all. But how are we going to get to our destination?/
//I'll take you there//
/You mean you know the way to LAX?/
//Yes I do. One of the abilities I have is the knowledge of every location in the known universe// Yugioh then flew on toward the airport.
The news people on the plane had their cameras on battery power. They filmed since the plane was in the air. They got the rescue on their cameras. A few hours later, Yugioh arrived at LAX.
'Now to bring the plane down,' Yugioh thought. He slowly descended and made a perfect landing on the runway.
There were news people waiting to interview President Wong. Before the plane landed, they saw its shadow over them. They looked up to see Yugioh bringing the Boeing 757 plane down with absolutely no effort at all.
Then Yugioh teleported inside the plane. He walked to where Yugi was sitting. "Let's go Yugi," he said as he picked up Yugi and teleported out of the plane.
"President Wong, what is your reaction to this almost tragic event?" one of the reporters asked.
"I'm just glad that everyone is all right. We owe Yugioh our lives this day," President Wong responded.
"How did Yugioh know that the plane was in trouble?" the reporter asked.
"Yes Yugioh, how did you know?" President Wong asked.
"I got a mental image of it. I can sense when Yugi is in a dangerous situation. This time, all of the people on board were in danger with him," Yugioh responded.
"Yugioh, I don't think that the plane trouble was an accident," Yugi said.
"It wasn't an accident Yugi. The Great Spirit told me that Yami Malik caused the engines to fail," Yugioh said.
"We have to find a way to stop him. He was willing to kill all these people just to kill me," Yugi said.
"I know. Don't worry Yugi; we'll find a way to stop him for good," Yugioh said. "Let's get your stuff," he added.
"My stuff is missing. I don't know how it happened, but it vanished while I was in the other airport," Yugi said.
"Yami Malik probably made your things vanish. He knew that you wouldn't need them it you were dead, so he probably sent them back to your house," Yugioh said. "May I aid you in giving Yugi a great experience here by borrowing him for a while President Wong?" he added.
"It would be a great honor Yugioh," the President responded.
Yugioh picked up Yugi and flew off.
"Where are we going?" Yugi asked.
"You'll see. I wanted to help give you a good experience of this state, and the place that I'm taking you is just the way to give it to you," Yugioh said. He flew through the air at a slow speed so that Yugi could take in the view as they flew on.
Yugi is enjoying the view he is receiving. An hour later, they arrive at their destination.
"Whoa, what is this place?" Yugi asked.
"This is Disneyland Yugi," Yugioh responded.
"As far as I can see, it's a big place. One of my classmates told me about her visit here. I've wanted to come here since then," Yugi said.
"Does spending a week here sound good to you?" Yugioh asked.
"Yeah, we can see the whole park that way," Yugi responded.
Yugioh landed near the ticket line. He put Yugi down, and they got in line.
"You can get in front of me," one of the people in front of them said.
"You can come to the front of the line ahead of me," the person in the front of the line said.
Yugi and Yugioh thanked the people and walked to the front of the line with no opposition at all. The people heard about the plane incident. When they got to the front, the ticket person let them pass without a ticket purchase.
"Please go on. It's okay. We heard about the plane incident. As a way of thanking you for saving the President's life as well as all the other people on board, your food and souvenir purchases will be on the manager of the park," the ticket lady said.
When entering the park, Yugi and Yugioh stopped by a food place to get Yugi something to eat. After Yugi finished his early dinner, they headed for the It's A Small World ride. When they got there, the line was long. The people parted for Yugi and Yugioh.
"I know that I am considered a national hero to everyone now, but this is a little too much. Yugi and I can get food and souvenirs for free, and we got in for free. I think that we should give you a break as far as the rides are concerned. We'll patiently wait our turn," Yugioh said.
The people agreed and resumed their places in line. Yugi and Yugioh waited their turn.
After a half hour wait, they got on the ride. They got on the boat sitting side by side. When everyone who could fit got on the boat, it went on its built track. Yugi and Yugioh heard the music a few moments later.
They entered soon after and looked at all of the different cultures involved with the ride. The song was a perfect match for the ride (A/N: It's A Small World is my favorite ride. I love to sing along). Twenty minutes later, the ride was over.
"I loved that ride," Yugi said as he and Yugioh were out of the exit.
"So did I. That was a very good ride. Don't worry though; this won't be the only time that we get on this ride," Yugioh said.
Then they walked to Tomorrow Land. The first thing that they saw was Space Mountain. Yugi wasn't too thrilled about it. Yugioh was though. He saw that Yugi looked a little scared.
"Yugi, I'll go on the ride with you if you're frightened. I want to get on it anyway," Yugioh said.
Yugi agree, and they got in line. The line wasn't that long, and they were on the ride in five minutes. Half an hour later, the ride was over. Yugi was still shaken up by how fast the roller coaster went. Yugioh loved the ride. To him, the roller coaster was moving like a snail. Since he can travel faster than the speed of light, the roller coaster was nothing to him. He saw Yugi's expression and embraced him.
"It's all right Yugi. The ride is over. We don't have to get on the ride again if you don't want to," Yugioh said.
"But you loved that ride. I don't want to spoil your fun because of something that you like and I don't," Yugi said.
"Don't worry; I'll think of a way to settle this," Yugioh said.
The time just flew by for Yugi and Yugioh. It was 8 pm already. They went and saw the Honey I Shrunk The Audience show. Half an hour later, they came out.
"I didn't like the feeling of snakes and rats crawling over me. That was creepy. The show was good other than that," Yugi said.
"I didn't like the feeling of the crawlies either. It's not a good feeling to have something crawling over you. Otherwise, it was a great show," Yugioh said.
They followed a directory to the train that goes around the park. The line wasn't long again, and they got on quick. It was a peaceful ride around some of the park. It was some of the park because Yugi started to get sleepy. They got off half an hour later. Then they overheard someone mentioning going to the Monorail. They followed the person. Fifteen minutes later, they were at the Monorail. The line was a little long, but since the mono cars could quite a few people, they were on one in not too much time.
They got a bird's eye view of the park.
"I prefer having views like these while being in open air," Yugi said.
"Don't worry about that Yugi; we'll be doing a lot of flying above the park before we leave," Yugioh said.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the hotel. Yugi and Yugioh got off with some other people. Then they went inside the hotel to get a room. The people saw them and immediately parted for them to get in the front of the line. Yugioh was a bit hesitant.
"Go on you two. It's all right. We know that this is a little too much for you Yugioh, but you're a national hero. This is our way of saying thanks," one of the people said.
"All right, if you insist," Yugioh said. He and Yugi went to the counter.
They both got keys to their room without paying anything. The person told them that the room that they were staying in were also on the manager. The number to their room was 128. When they entered, they saw a blend of modesty and elegance. There were two full-size beds, a television, fancy curtains over the window, a fancy table for eating, and a great view of a portion of the park since the curtains were open.
They saw the bathroom. It had a bath-shower combo.
"I'm going to take a bath. But what do I change into?" Yugi said.
Yugioh had his hands facing down. Then he brought them up as a magician would, slightly touching his chest as he did so. When his hands were facing up, a pair of pajamas appeared from out of nowhere.
"You can change into these," Yugioh said.
Yugi gladly took the pajamas away from him and went into the bathroom to take a bath. When he entered, he saw a carry-on bag inside. He opened it and saw all his toiletries inside.
/Thank you/ He figured that Yugioh was the one who made his bathroom things appear.
//You're welcome// was the confirmed reply.
While Yugi was in the bathroom, Yugioh turned on the television to see that the plane incident was the top news story.
'All those people could've died today. We have to stop Yami Malik soon,' Yugioh thought.
Forty-five minutes later, Yugi came out of the bathroom. He saw that the plane incident was the top news story. "I want to thank you again for saving the lives of everyone on the plane," he said.
"That's not a problem Yugi. I just feel sorry for the other people. They were almost killed with you. They have nothing to do with our situation. I now know that I will have to help others when the time should come that I can really help out," Yugioh said.
"Yeah, I know. It was a good thing you came," Yugi said.
"I'm here to protect. Until this incident it was only you. Now with the involvement of people who have nothing to do with our situation, I have a feeling that I need to protect all the innocent people now," Yugioh said.
"You can do it no problem," Yugi said.
"Thank you Yugi," Yugioh said.
Yugi unmade the left bed and climbed in. Yugioh tucked him in and sat on the right bed.
"Good night," Yugi said.
"Good night Yugi," Yugioh said.
Yugi went to sleep, and Yugioh turned the volume down to watch what other things were going on in the world. He had the volume almost at the mute level, but he could hear it as though it was on level 22 because of his very keen hearing. Half an hour later, he turned off the TV and looked outside the window to see a good view of the park in the darkness of the night. The lit up park below was an amazing sight.
'Yugi has to see this. This is beautiful,' Yugioh thought. He looked over to Yugi and thought, 'Tomorrow, before he goes to bed.'
In the morning Yugioh awakened Yugi.
"What am I going to wear?" Yugi asked.
As a response, Yugioh winked his eye at the dresser drawer next to the TV. "Open the dresser," he said simply.
Yugi opened one of the dresser drawers and saw clothes ready to wear inside. He picked out a pair of light blue jeans and a plain white T-shirt to change into. He put on his socks and shoes and went into the bathroom to brush his teeth. He came out five minutes later, and he and Yugioh left the room and locked the door.
"Yugi, let me have your key," Yugioh said.
"What for?" Yugi asked.
"You'll see," Yugioh responded as he took out his own key.
Yugi have Yugioh the key. When Yugioh had both keys, he made them disappear.
"Don't worry about the keys. They will appear when we come back here," Yugioh said.
They went outside to wait for the mono car. Half an hour later, an announcement came over the loudspeaker.
The person said, "We are sorry for the inconvenience. The engines of all the mono cars have broken down, and we won't have the Monorail moving again for at least an hour."
"I don't want to wait that long," Yugi said.
"You won't have to," Yugioh said. He picked up Yugi, spread his wings and jumped into the air. "Do you want to go slow or take the direct approach?" he added.
"Let's go for the direct approach," Yugi responded, wanting to have a little fun in the air.
"All right, hold on," Yugioh said. He pulled his wings in and dove for the ground below.
This time, Yugi wasn't afraid of the speed issue. He didn't know why he was terrified in Space Mountain.
"I see that you're calm this time," Yugioh said.
"I'm not sure why I was terrified in Space Mountain," Yugi said.
"I think that that had more to do with how dark it was than the ride itself. You were holding onto me from the time we went in to the time the ride was over. The speed of the ride and the darkness must have frightened you the most," Yugioh said.
Yugi agreed with that logic. He never did like the dark unless he was sleeping. By taking the direct approach, they were on the ground in a few minutes.
"Where do you want to go now?" Yugioh asked.
"Let's find a place to eat first," Yugi responded.
"All right, let's go," Yugioh said.
They were currently in Frontier Land, and they found a restaurant. They went in and took a seat. The waiter took Yugi's order and the chefs went right to work on it. Fifteen minutes later, the chefs were done, and Yugi ate his meal. He took his time between eating and talking to Yugioh. An hour later, they left the restaurant and walked around.
They just took a leisurely stroll around Frontier Land. Half an hour later, they left Frontier Land and were in Fantasy Land (A/N: Fantasy Land is my favorite land of Disneyland). The first thing that caught Yugi's eye was the carousel. He wanted to get on.
"May I get on the carousel?" Yugi asked.
"Sure Yugi, go get in line," Yugioh responded.
"Aren't you going on with me?" Yugi asked.
"I'll get on with you next time Yugi," Yugioh responded. "Remember, we will get on some of the rides more than once since we're spending a week here," he added.
Yugi got in line. The carousel was still going. Yugioh was just standing to the side with some of the other people who didn't get on. Fifteen minutes later, Yugi got on. The ride started an additional five minutes later. Yugi had a great time. He loved how the horse slowly went up and down.
Yugioh just smiled at his friend. 'Next time, I'll be on there with you,' he thought.
Half an hour later, the carousel stopped, and the people got off.
"That was fun," Yugi said.
"I'm glad you liked it. we'll be side by side next time," Yugioh said. "Where do you want to go now?" he added.
Yugi saw the Dumbo ride across the way from where they were. "There," he said, pointing to the ride. "Will you come on with me?" he added.
"Sure," Yugioh said smiling.
They got in line and waited to get on. The line was very long, and they had to wait almost an hour to get on. When they did get on, Yugi pushed the switch up. The part of the ride they were in went as high as the extensions allowed.
"Do you want to go higher?" Yugioh asked.
"How can we?" Yugi asked.
"I'll show you how," Yugioh responded.
The part of the ride that they were in had a light blue aura around it as it went off its foundation. The people on the ride as well as the people waiting their turn just watched in amazement as part of the ride really flew off. Even the ride operators were awestruck at what just happened.
Yugi was awestruck himself. He was amazed as he took in the view that he was getting. "This is really amazing. To think that we're on a ride that doesn't really fly," he said.
They spent the rest of the morning flying around the park in part of the Dumbo ride. At 1 pm, they returned to the area of the ride, and Yugioh put the piece back on its foundation. Fortunately, the other parts were already down because the people were getting off. Yugi and Yugioh got off as well.
"Did you like that?" Yugioh asked.
"Yes I did, thank you," Yugi responded. "Let's find a place to for lunch," he added.
They found a pizza place nearby. Yugi ate a pepperoni pizza. When he was finished, they were on their way. They followed the directory to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. There was practically no one in line, so Yugi and Yugioh were just about at the front. They got on the next boat side by side.
The ride started off calm enough. That is, until the boat hit the first of two dips. The dip was like going downhill. For ten more minutes things were calm again. Then the boat hit the second dip. The second was shorter, but it was still like going downhill. For the rest of the ride, things were calm. Yugi and Yugioh saw the ships with the life-size pirate dolls on board.
That went for fifteen minutes before the boat went up an up ramp and to the exit.
"How did you like it?" Yugioh asked.
"I didn't like the dips, but it was fine other than that," Yugi said.
"Let's see how the Monorail is faring up," Yugioh said.
They walked in the direction of the Monorail . They arrived in twenty minutes. They found that the Monorail was up and running.
"Can I go alone?" Yugi asked whten the purple mono car came to a stop.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here," Yugioh responded.
Yugi got on the car, and it went on its way ten minutes later. No one was aware of the danger that would soon take place. Yami Malik was watching on his screen.
"So, Yugi's on the car alone. What a mistake that was," Yami Malik said. He then destroyed parts of the track in multiple spots.
Meanwhile, the mono car was cruising along when the people in front saw that the track was damaged ahead.
"The track is destroyed up ahead!" someone shouted.
"What!?" Yugi exclaimed.
"The track is destroyed," the person repeated.
Yugi looked up ahead and saw the track was destroyed, and he panicked. Fortunately, Yugioh sensed his panic.
//Yugi, what's wrong?//
//The track has been destroyed and there's no way the car can stop in time!/
//I'm on my way! Stay calm// Yugioh spread his wings and followed the track. He was going pretty fast because he wanted to catch up to the car in time.
Unfortunately, he was a few seconds too late. The car had begun falling towards the ground. He sped up and overtook the falling car. He created the towline again and pulled it up. He magically repaired the track and put the car back on it.
//Yugi, are you all okay?/
/We are now thanks to you/
//I'll follow from above in case the track is destroyed in more than one spot. I have a feeling that you know who is behind this//
The car went on with Yugioh flying overhead. It was a good thing, because the track was indeed destroyed in more than one place. He magically repaired the broken parts of the track before the car reached the area. The car got back to where it started safely.
The people got off and thanked Yugioh for saving their lives.
"You're all quite welcome," Yugioh said. "Let's go Yugi," he added. He picked up Yugi and flew away. "So, what do you want to do now?" he asked.
"Can we just stay in the air and fly around for a while?" Yugi asked.
"We sure can," Yugioh responded. He just flew around the park with Yugi in his arms.
A few hours after sundown, they had flown around the entire park. Yugioh landed next to a hot dog stand for Yugi to get a hot dog and a soda.
"If you want, the Electrical Lights Parade starts here in about half an hour," the vender said.
"Can we Yugioh?" Yugi asked.
"I don't see why not," Yugioh responded.
They waited. Half an hour later, they heard the music. They walked to the front to have a good look of the parade. The lights of the floats made the close darkness vanish. It was a beautiful sight to behold. An hour later, the parade was over.
"That was great. I really enjoyed that," Yugi said.
"So did I. That was wonderful," Yugioh said. "Let's head back to the hotel. It's getting very late," he added. He picked up Yugi and flew for the hotel. He flew at a slow speed so Yugi could get a good view.
Yugi was amazed. The entire park was lit up. It looked like they were looking at a ground rainbow that only appeared at night. An hour later, they were back in the hotel. When they arrived at the door to their room, the keys appeared. Yugi took one and unlocked the door. They went in, and the keys disappeared again.
Yugi was very tired, and hit the bed with his clothes on. Yugioh smiled and decided to help out a bit. He used his power of levitation to quietly lift Yugi up. Then he went over to the bed and pulled back the covers. He slowly placed Yugi on the bed, magically changed him into a pair of pajamas and put the covers over him.
"Sleep well Yugi," Yugioh said.
The rest of the week went smoothly for Yugi and Yugioh. They didn't have any more problems with Yami Malik sabotaging the rides. They ended up getting on Dumbo, Pirates of the Caribbean, the carousel, It's A Small World, and other rides at least three more times.
"Did you have fun?" Yugioh asked.
"Yes, it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much," Yugi responded.
"You're very welcome," Yugioh said.
"I'll help you contact President Wong," the Great Spirit said. A phone appeared in the air. Yugi answered it and President Wong was on the ohter end. Yugi told him about the experience.
"I was actually going to take you there myself. Yugioh really did help me out," President Wong said.
"I hope we can see each other again," Yugi said.
"I hope so too," the President said as he hung up the phone.
Yugi told Yugioh what President Wong said.
"Well, I guess we can go home now," Yugioh said.
"Yeah, I want to tell Grandpa abotu my experience," Yugi said. He then went to the bathroom to bathe, brush his teeth and get dressed. He came out forty-five minutes later.
Yugioh snapped his fingers, and all the clothing that was left in the drawers disappeared. The carry-on bag in the bathroom also disappeared, leaving only what was left in the room when they first got there. Then the left the room, made sure the door was locked, and went to the front desk to return the keys.
After they returned the keys, Yugioh flew Yugi to a souvenir shop. They got all kinds of stuff that was placed into another carry-on bag which disappeared after they were done. Yugioh took Yugi's hand and teleported back home.
"Welcome back you two," Solomon said.
"Thanks Grandpa, I had a wonderful time," Yugi said.
"Where did you go?" Solomon asked.
"Yugioh took me to Disneyland," Yugi responded. "We spent a week there, and I haven't too long ago found out that President Wong was going to do it anyway," he added.
"I didn't know that President Wong was going to take him. If I did, I would've just gone anyway," Yugioh said.
"You are full of surprises Yugioh. I'm just glad that Yugi had a good time and is safe. I saw the plane disaster on the news and was worried sick until you helped out," Solomon said. "Now tell me all about your time at Disneyland," he added.
Yugi then told him everything that happened. The discussion went through the rest of the day and into the wee hours of the night.
"Wow, that really was a wonderful time. Except for when Yami Malik interfered of course," Solomon said.
Yugi went upstairs to prepare for bed. He took a shower, brushed his teeth and went into his room. He put on his pajamas and climbed into bed. He was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Yugioh came in the room and found Yugi asleep. Yugi didn't have the covers over him this time, so he was shivering. Yugioh put the covers over Yugi and knelt next to the bed. He stroked Yugi's hair and whispered a good night in his ear. He gave Yugi a soft kiss on the forehead and pulled up a chair next to the bed to watch over the sleeping teen.
Well, here's chapter 9. Preview for Chapter 10: The New Enemy Revealed: Strange things are occuring in the city. No one can explain what is happening. Yugioh has a feeling that all that is happening is not tied to Yami Malik, but someone more powerful. If you were wondering about the new enemy from chapter 6, wonder no more. You will finally know who the new enemy is.

Chapter 9: Plane Disaster and Disneyland Trip
It was two days after the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon incident. Things have calmed down considerably since then. Yugi is back at school. At lunchtime, he and his friends talk.
"What really happened Yugi?" Bakura asked. "Something other than a little accident had to happen to keep you away for a couple of days," he added.
"I was captured by the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon again. Yami Malik is getting desperate now. He had the dragon take me while I was still in my own house," Yugi said.
There was a gasp from all his friends.
"That's terrible," Joey said.
"I'm with you," Tristan said.
The others nodded in agreement. At the end of lunchtime, they went to their homeroom class. The principal was in the class.
"I have an announcement to make. We have a very special guest visiting today. Will you please say hello to President Wong," Mrs. Chang said.
The President walked in. The class warmly greeted him.
"I am glad to be here with you today. I come to a school once a year to pick a student to travel to one of the United States of America with me. We always spend a week wherever we go. All of the past students have enjoyed their experience in America. Now, I have come here to choose one of you to accompany me," President Wong said.
All of the students were excited about just meeting the President and were anxious about who the President would pick.
"You are all very interesting people, and the choice was very difficult to make," he said. He walked over to Yugi and said, "Yugi Moto, I choose you to come to California with me," he added.
Yugi was dumbstruck. "Really?" he asked.
"This is no joke Yugi. I want you to have the experience of being in one of the United States, " President Wong said.
The rest of the class cheered. They all said the same thing, "All right Yugi!"
Yugi still couldn't believe he was chosen. After a few seconds, his state of shock was replaced with excitement. /Yugioh/
//Yes?//
/The President of Japan came today. He chose me to get the experience of being in California with him/
//That's wonderful! We'll get you ready when we get home//
"We will be leaving tomorrow morning. Yugi, you have a big experience waiting for you," the President said smiling.
"I can't wait," Yugi said.
The rest of the day was great for Yugi and his friends. His friends were all very excited for him. They knew that he deserved to go more than anyone else here. They all told him to have a good time and to tell them all about the experience. After school, Yugi sat outside, waiting for Yugioh.
"Do you want a ride home?" President Wong asked.
"No thank you. I'm waiting for one of my best friends," Yugi responded. He looked up and added, "And here he comes now."
President Wong looked up to see Yugioh land next to Yugi. Even though he saw the mall incident on the news, he was still very amazed to see a winged person who was very much alive.
"Yugioh, this is President Wong. Mr. President, this is Yugioh, former Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt," Yugi said.
"I am honored to meet you Yugioh," President Wong said.
"The pleasure is all mine. I am honored to meet the President of Japan," Yugioh said. He picked up Yugi and flew for home.
When they arrived home ten minutes later, Yugi told his grandfather what happened today.
"That's wonderful Yugi! Why don't you go upstairs to pack," Solomon said.
Yugi went upstairs to pack for tomorrow. Unknown to him, a duel monster was watching him the whole time with the help of a spell that it placed over the house. The spell allowed it to see and hear what was going on. It also went invisible so not to draw much attention. After hearing about the plane trip, it reported back to Yami Malik.
"You bring back good news indeed my friend. I'm sure that Yugioh won't be there with Yugi. The very plane trip will be Yugi's own death," Yami Malik said.
That night, Yugi could barely sleep because he was very excited.
"Yugi, if you don't get any rest, you'll be too tired for tomorrow," Yugioh said.
"I know, but I'm too excited to sleep," Yugi said.
Yugioh's hand glowed pink, and he touched the side of Yugi's face. Yugi calmed down as he felt the magic coursing through him. He was asleep in seconds, but not before telling Yugioh thank you.
The next morning, Yugioh awakened Yugi.
"Get ready, you have to leave soon," Yugioh said.
Yugi was prepared in a little over an hour because his excitement came back at full force. Then the doorbell rang. Solomon opened it to see none other than President Wong at the door.
"Good morning Mr. President," Solomon said.
"I'd take it that you're Yugi's grandfather right?" the President asked.
"Yes I am," Solomon responded. "Yugi, President Wong is here," he added.
Yugioh and the secret service people with the President helped Yugi to get his things in the back of the President's limo.
"Have a good time Yugi," Yugioh said.
"I'm sure he will," President Wong said smiling.
Then Yugi and President Wong got in the limo, and the driver drove off.
"Of all the people I have encountered, I have never expected someone as humble as you are Yugi. I am pretty much like you," the President said.
"What do you mean?" Yugi asked.
"I don't wallow in the life of luxury like other wealthy people. I prefer to be like the regular people of the country. I am more of a humble person like you. That's why we're going to the airport instead of taking a private plane," the President said responded.
They arrived at the airport half an hour later. They went through security in just about no time flat (A/N: Like you would want to keep the President waiting). The people knew how good President Wong was. He was a man who was strict on honor, tolerance, courtesy and wisdom. He and Yugi also got their tickets pretty quickly as well.
As they were going to put their luggage on the machine that transports it to another airport, Yugi's luggage mysteriously vanished.
'How odd. How did my stuff just disappear?' Yugi thought. He dismissed it and prepared to board the plane. He noticed a lot of news people around as well as a lot of tourists. He didn't know how he felt it, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something was waiting to go desperately wrong.
Meanwhile, Yugioh was in the park with Te`a, Tristan, Joey, Bakura, Yami Bakura and Kaiba.
"Yugi really deserved to go. After all that happened to him, he just needs to relax and have fun," Te`a said.
"I know what you mean. A lot has happened to him in only a year and a half," Yugioh said.
At the airport, the plane took off at 8 am. So far, everything was going well. However, Yami Malik created a vision screen in his secret place to see the plane. He would wait unil about a few hours after the plane reached its maximum height. Then he would give it a little engine trouble.
An hour later, the plane reached its maximum height of 6 miles. Five hours later, there was still no trouble at all. All of a sudden, the pilot and co-pilot were having trouble keeping the plane in the air. The sensors aboard reported engine failure.
"Folks, it seems as though we are having some unusual engine failure," the pilot said over the intercom.
As soon as he finished talking, the engines died, and the plane went down at an alarming speed. Meanwhile, Yugioh and friends were resting after a very good time in the park. They had a race, a swim in the lake and a little walk. Now they were talking again.
"Well, this is turning out to be a good day," Joey said.
"I agree. I haven't had this much fun in a long time," Kaiba said.
Yugioh suddenly gasped as he got a mental image of the plane that Yugi was on.
"What's wrong Yugioh?" Bakura asked.
"The plane that Yugi is on is going down," Yugioh responded.
"How can that be?" Te`a asked. "The planes here have never had problems before," she added.
"The plane is not having ordinary trouble," a voice said.
"Who is that?" Tristan asked.
"What do you mean Great Spirit?" Yugioh asked, responding to Tristan's question.
"The plane's engines died, but not on their own. Yami Malik caused the trouble," the Great Spirit responded.
"Oh no, all those people on there with Yugi will die as well," Bakura said.
"Not if I can help it," Yugioh said. He disappeared and reappeared in the spot of the engine failure. He saw the troubled plane not too long afterwards. He pulled in his wings and dove after the plane. He easily overtook the plane with his great speed.
When in front of the plane, he created used his powers to create a towline. With his great strength, he stopped the plane's descent with no trouble at all.
The pilot felt that the plane was no longer falling. 'How come we're not falling anymore?' he thought.
The co-pilot looked up. "Look, it's Yugioh, the winged Pharaoh from the news," she said.
The pilot looked up and indeed saw Yugioh in front of the plane. "I don't believe it everyone. Yugioh is holding the plane up like it is just a piece of scratch paper," he said over the intercom.
The people looked ahead. Only those close to the front and in the middle of the plane could see Yugioh holding the plane up.
//Are you all right Yugi?//
/Yes, thanks to you/
//Is everyone else all right?//
/They're fine. You saved us all. But how are we going to get to our destination?/
//I'll take you there//
/You mean you know the way to LAX?/
//Yes I do. One of the abilities I have is the knowledge of every location in the known universe// Yugioh then flew on toward the airport.
The news people on the plane had their cameras on battery power. They filmed since the plane was in the air. They got the rescue on their cameras. A few hours later, Yugioh arrived at LAX.
'Now to bring the plane down,' Yugioh thought. He slowly descended and made a perfect landing on the runway.
There were news people waiting to interview President Wong. Before the plane landed, they saw its shadow over them. They looked up to see Yugioh bringing the Boeing 757 plane down with absolutely no effort at all.
Then Yugioh teleported inside the plane. He walked to where Yugi was sitting. "Let's go Yugi," he said as he picked up Yugi and teleported out of the plane.
"President Wong, what is your reaction to this almost tragic event?" one of the reporters asked.
"I'm just glad that everyone is all right. We owe Yugioh our lives this day," President Wong responded.
"How did Yugioh know that the plane was in trouble?" the reporter asked.
"Yes Yugioh, how did you know?" President Wong asked.
"I got a mental image of it. I can sense when Yugi is in a dangerous situation. This time, all of the people on board were in danger with him," Yugioh responded.
"Yugioh, I don't think that the plane trouble was an accident," Yugi said.
"It wasn't an accident Yugi. The Great Spirit told me that Yami Malik caused the engines to fail," Yugioh said.
"We have to find a way to stop him. He was willing to kill all these people just to kill me," Yugi said.
"I know. Don't worry Yugi; we'll find a way to stop him for good," Yugioh said. "Let's get your stuff," he added.
"My stuff is missing. I don't know how it happened, but it vanished while I was in the other airport," Yugi said.
"Yami Malik probably made your things vanish. He knew that you wouldn't need them it you were dead, so he probably sent them back to your house," Yugioh said. "May I aid you in giving Yugi a great experience here by borrowing him for a while President Wong?" he added.
"It would be a great honor Yugioh," the President responded.
Yugioh picked up Yugi and flew off.
"Where are we going?" Yugi asked.
"You'll see. I wanted to help give you a good experience of this state, and the place that I'm taking you is just the way to give it to you," Yugioh said. He flew through the air at a slow speed so that Yugi could take in the view as they flew on.
Yugi is enjoying the view he is receiving. An hour later, they arrive at their destination.
"Whoa, what is this place?" Yugi asked.
"This is Disneyland Yugi," Yugioh responded.
"As far as I can see, it's a big place. One of my classmates told me about her visit here. I've wanted to come here since then," Yugi said.
"Does spending a week here sound good to you?" Yugioh asked.
"Yeah, we can see the whole park that way," Yugi responded.
Yugioh landed near the ticket line. He put Yugi down, and they got in line.
"You can get in front of me," one of the people in front of them said.
"You can come to the front of the line ahead of me," the person in the front of the line said.
Yugi and Yugioh thanked the people and walked to the front of the line with no opposition at all. The people heard about the plane incident. When they got to the front, the ticket person let them pass without a ticket purchase.
"Please go on. It's okay. We heard about the plane incident. As a way of thanking you for saving the President's life as well as all the other people on board, your food and souvenir purchases will be on the manager of the park," the ticket lady said.
When entering the park, Yugi and Yugioh stopped by a food place to get Yugi something to eat. After Yugi finished his early dinner, they headed for the It's A Small World ride. When they got there, the line was long. The people parted for Yugi and Yugioh.
"I know that I am considered a national hero to everyone now, but this is a little too much. Yugi and I can get food and souvenirs for free, and we got in for free. I think that we should give you a break as far as the rides are concerned. We'll patiently wait our turn," Yugioh said.
The people agreed and resumed their places in line. Yugi and Yugioh waited their turn.
After a half hour wait, they got on the ride. They got on the boat sitting side by side. When everyone who could fit got on the boat, it went on its built track. Yugi and Yugioh heard the music a few moments later.
They entered soon after and looked at all of the different cultures involved with the ride. The song was a perfect match for the ride (A/N: It's A Small World is my favorite ride. I love to sing along). Twenty minutes later, the ride was over.
"I loved that ride," Yugi said as he and Yugioh were out of the exit.
"So did I. That was a very good ride. Don't worry though; this won't be the only time that we get on this ride," Yugioh said.
Then they walked to Tomorrow Land. The first thing that they saw was Space Mountain. Yugi wasn't too thrilled about it. Yugioh was though. He saw that Yugi looked a little scared.
"Yugi, I'll go on the ride with you if you're frightened. I want to get on it anyway," Yugioh said.
Yugi agree, and they got in line. The line wasn't that long, and they were on the ride in five minutes. Half an hour later, the ride was over. Yugi was still shaken up by how fast the roller coaster went. Yugioh loved the ride. To him, the roller coaster was moving like a snail. Since he can travel faster than the speed of light, the roller coaster was nothing to him. He saw Yugi's expression and embraced him.
"It's all right Yugi. The ride is over. We don't have to get on the ride again if you don't want to," Yugioh said.
"But you loved that ride. I don't want to spoil your fun because of something that you like and I don't," Yugi said.
"Don't worry; I'll think of a way to settle this," Yugioh said.
The time just flew by for Yugi and Yugioh. It was 8 pm already. They went and saw the Honey I Shrunk The Audience show. Half an hour later, they came out.
"I didn't like the feeling of snakes and rats crawling over me. That was creepy. The show was good other than that," Yugi said.
"I didn't like the feeling of the crawlies either. It's not a good feeling to have something crawling over you. Otherwise, it was a great show," Yugioh said.
They followed a directory to the train that goes around the park. The line wasn't long again, and they got on quick. It was a peaceful ride around some of the park. It was some of the park because Yugi started to get sleepy. They got off half an hour later. Then they overheard someone mentioning going to the Monorail. They followed the person. Fifteen minutes later, they were at the Monorail. The line was a little long, but since the mono cars could quite a few people, they were on one in not too much time.
They got a bird's eye view of the park.
"I prefer having views like these while being in open air," Yugi said.
"Don't worry about that Yugi; we'll be doing a lot of flying above the park before we leave," Yugioh said.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the hotel. Yugi and Yugioh got off with some other people. Then they went inside the hotel to get a room. The people saw them and immediately parted for them to get in the front of the line. Yugioh was a bit hesitant.
"Go on you two. It's all right. We know that this is a little too much for you Yugioh, but you're a national hero. This is our way of saying thanks," one of the people said.
"All right, if you insist," Yugioh said. He and Yugi went to the counter.
They both got keys to their room without paying anything. The person told them that the room that they were staying in were also on the manager. The number to their room was 128. When they entered, they saw a blend of modesty and elegance. There were two full-size beds, a television, fancy curtains over the window, a fancy table for eating, and a great view of a portion of the park since the curtains were open.
They saw the bathroom. It had a bath-shower combo.
"I'm going to take a bath. But what do I change into?" Yugi said.
Yugioh had his hands facing down. Then he brought them up as a magician would, slightly touching his chest as he did so. When his hands were facing up, a pair of pajamas appeared from out of nowhere.
"You can change into these," Yugioh said.
Yugi gladly took the pajamas away from him and went into the bathroom to take a bath. When he entered, he saw a carry-on bag inside. He opened it and saw all his toiletries inside.
/Thank you/ He figured that Yugioh was the one who made his bathroom things appear.
//You're welcome// was the confirmed reply.
While Yugi was in the bathroom, Yugioh turned on the television to see that the plane incident was the top news story.
'All those people could've died today. We have to stop Yami Malik soon,' Yugioh thought.
Forty-five minutes later, Yugi came out of the bathroom. He saw that the plane incident was the top news story. "I want to thank you again for saving the lives of everyone on the plane," he said.
"That's not a problem Yugi. I just feel sorry for the other people. They were almost killed with you. They have nothing to do with our situation. I now know that I will have to help others when the time should come that I can really help out," Yugioh said.
"Yeah, I know. It was a good thing you came," Yugi said.
"I'm here to protect. Until this incident it was only you. Now with the involvement of people who have nothing to do with our situation, I have a feeling that I need to protect all the innocent people now," Yugioh said.
"You can do it no problem," Yugi said.
"Thank you Yugi," Yugioh said.
Yugi unmade the left bed and climbed in. Yugioh tucked him in and sat on the right bed.
"Good night," Yugi said.
"Good night Yugi," Yugioh said.
Yugi went to sleep, and Yugioh turned the volume down to watch what other things were going on in the world. He had the volume almost at the mute level, but he could hear it as though it was on level 22 because of his very keen hearing. Half an hour later, he turned off the TV and looked outside the window to see a good view of the park in the darkness of the night. The lit up park below was an amazing sight.
'Yugi has to see this. This is beautiful,' Yugioh thought. He looked over to Yugi and thought, 'Tomorrow, before he goes to bed.'
In the morning Yugioh awakened Yugi.
"What am I going to wear?" Yugi asked.
As a response, Yugioh winked his eye at the dresser drawer next to the TV. "Open the dresser," he said simply.
Yugi opened one of the dresser drawers and saw clothes ready to wear inside. He picked out a pair of light blue jeans and a plain white T-shirt to change into. He put on his socks and shoes and went into the bathroom to brush his teeth. He came out five minutes later, and he and Yugioh left the room and locked the door.
"Yugi, let me have your key," Yugioh said.
"What for?" Yugi asked.
"You'll see," Yugioh responded as he took out his own key.
Yugi have Yugioh the key. When Yugioh had both keys, he made them disappear.
"Don't worry about the keys. They will appear when we come back here," Yugioh said.
They went outside to wait for the mono car. Half an hour later, an announcement came over the loudspeaker.
The person said, "We are sorry for the inconvenience. The engines of all the mono cars have broken down, and we won't have the Monorail moving again for at least an hour."
"I don't want to wait that long," Yugi said.
"You won't have to," Yugioh said. He picked up Yugi, spread his wings and jumped into the air. "Do you want to go slow or take the direct approach?" he added.
"Let's go for the direct approach," Yugi responded, wanting to have a little fun in the air.
"All right, hold on," Yugioh said. He pulled his wings in and dove for the ground below.
This time, Yugi wasn't afraid of the speed issue. He didn't know why he was terrified in Space Mountain.
"I see that you're calm this time," Yugioh said.
"I'm not sure why I was terrified in Space Mountain," Yugi said.
"I think that that had more to do with how dark it was than the ride itself. You were holding onto me from the time we went in to the time the ride was over. The speed of the ride and the darkness must have frightened you the most," Yugioh said.
Yugi agreed with that logic. He never did like the dark unless he was sleeping. By taking the direct approach, they were on the ground in a few minutes.
"Where do you want to go now?" Yugioh asked.
"Let's find a place to eat first," Yugi responded.
"All right, let's go," Yugioh said.
They were currently in Frontier Land, and they found a restaurant. They went in and took a seat. The waiter took Yugi's order and the chefs went right to work on it. Fifteen minutes later, the chefs were done, and Yugi ate his meal. He took his time between eating and talking to Yugioh. An hour later, they left the restaurant and walked around.
They just took a leisurely stroll around Frontier Land. Half an hour later, they left Frontier Land and were in Fantasy Land (A/N: Fantasy Land is my favorite land of Disneyland). The first thing that caught Yugi's eye was the carousel. He wanted to get on.
"May I get on the carousel?" Yugi asked.
"Sure Yugi, go get in line," Yugioh responded.
"Aren't you going on with me?" Yugi asked.
"I'll get on with you next time Yugi," Yugioh responded. "Remember, we will get on some of the rides more than once since we're spending a week here," he added.
Yugi got in line. The carousel was still going. Yugioh was just standing to the side with some of the other people who didn't get on. Fifteen minutes later, Yugi got on. The ride started an additional five minutes later. Yugi had a great time. He loved how the horse slowly went up and down.
Yugioh just smiled at his friend. 'Next time, I'll be on there with you,' he thought.
Half an hour later, the carousel stopped, and the people got off.
"That was fun," Yugi said.
"I'm glad you liked it. we'll be side by side next time," Yugioh said. "Where do you want to go now?" he added.
Yugi saw the Dumbo ride across the way from where they were. "There," he said, pointing to the ride. "Will you come on with me?" he added.
"Sure," Yugioh said smiling.
They got in line and waited to get on. The line was very long, and they had to wait almost an hour to get on. When they did get on, Yugi pushed the switch up. The part of the ride they were in went as high as the extensions allowed.
"Do you want to go higher?" Yugioh asked.
"How can we?" Yugi asked.
"I'll show you how," Yugioh responded.
The part of the ride that they were in had a light blue aura around it as it went off its foundation. The people on the ride as well as the people waiting their turn just watched in amazement as part of the ride really flew off. Even the ride operators were awestruck at what just happened.
Yugi was awestruck himself. He was amazed as he took in the view that he was getting. "This is really amazing. To think that we're on a ride that doesn't really fly," he said.
They spent the rest of the morning flying around the park in part of the Dumbo ride. At 1 pm, they returned to the area of the ride, and Yugioh put the piece back on its foundation. Fortunately, the other parts were already down because the people were getting off. Yugi and Yugioh got off as well.
"Did you like that?" Yugioh asked.
"Yes I did, thank you," Yugi responded. "Let's find a place to for lunch," he added.
They found a pizza place nearby. Yugi ate a pepperoni pizza. When he was finished, they were on their way. They followed the directory to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. There was practically no one in line, so Yugi and Yugioh were just about at the front. They got on the next boat side by side.
The ride started off calm enough. That is, until the boat hit the first of two dips. The dip was like going downhill. For ten more minutes things were calm again. Then the boat hit the second dip. The second was shorter, but it was still like going downhill. For the rest of the ride, things were calm. Yugi and Yugioh saw the ships with the life-size pirate dolls on board.
That went for fifteen minutes before the boat went up an up ramp and to the exit.
"How did you like it?" Yugioh asked.
"I didn't like the dips, but it was fine other than that," Yugi said.
"Let's see how the Monorail is faring up," Yugioh said.
They walked in the direction of the Monorail . They arrived in twenty minutes. They found that the Monorail was up and running.
"Can I go alone?" Yugi asked whten the purple mono car came to a stop.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here," Yugioh responded.
Yugi got on the car, and it went on its way ten minutes later. No one was aware of the danger that would soon take place. Yami Malik was watching on his screen.
"So, Yugi's on the car alone. What a mistake that was," Yami Malik said. He then destroyed parts of the track in multiple spots.
Meanwhile, the mono car was cruising along when the people in front saw that the track was damaged ahead.
"The track is destroyed up ahead!" someone shouted.
"What!?" Yugi exclaimed.
"The track is destroyed," the person repeated.
Yugi looked up ahead and saw the track was destroyed, and he panicked. Fortunately, Yugioh sensed his panic.
//Yugi, what's wrong?//
//The track has been destroyed and there's no way the car can stop in time!/
//I'm on my way! Stay calm// Yugioh spread his wings and followed the track. He was going pretty fast because he wanted to catch up to the car in time.
Unfortunately, he was a few seconds too late. The car had begun falling towards the ground. He sped up and overtook the falling car. He created the towline again and pulled it up. He magically repaired the track and put the car back on it.
//Yugi, are you all okay?/
/We are now thanks to you/
//I'll follow from above in case the track is destroyed in more than one spot. I have a feeling that you know who is behind this//
The car went on with Yugioh flying overhead. It was a good thing, because the track was indeed destroyed in more than one place. He magically repaired the broken parts of the track before the car reached the area. The car got back to where it started safely.
The people got off and thanked Yugioh for saving their lives.
"You're all quite welcome," Yugioh said. "Let's go Yugi," he added. He picked up Yugi and flew away. "So, what do you want to do now?" he asked.
"Can we just stay in the air and fly around for a while?" Yugi asked.
"We sure can," Yugioh responded. He just flew around the park with Yugi in his arms.
A few hours after sundown, they had flown around the entire park. Yugioh landed next to a hot dog stand for Yugi to get a hot dog and a soda.
"If you want, the Electrical Lights Parade starts here in about half an hour," the vender said.
"Can we Yugioh?" Yugi asked.
"I don't see why not," Yugioh responded.
They waited. Half an hour later, they heard the music. They walked to the front to have a good look of the parade. The lights of the floats made the close darkness vanish. It was a beautiful sight to behold. An hour later, the parade was over.
"That was great. I really enjoyed that," Yugi said.
"So did I. That was wonderful," Yugioh said. "Let's head back to the hotel. It's getting very late," he added. He picked up Yugi and flew for the hotel. He flew at a slow speed so Yugi could get a good view.
Yugi was amazed. The entire park was lit up. It looked like they were looking at a ground rainbow that only appeared at night. An hour later, they were back in the hotel. When they arrived at the door to their room, the keys appeared. Yugi took one and unlocked the door. They went in, and the keys disappeared again.
Yugi was very tired, and hit the bed with his clothes on. Yugioh smiled and decided to help out a bit. He used his power of levitation to quietly lift Yugi up. Then he went over to the bed and pulled back the covers. He slowly placed Yugi on the bed, magically changed him into a pair of pajamas and put the covers over him.
"Sleep well Yugi," Yugioh said.
The rest of the week went smoothly for Yugi and Yugioh. They didn't have any more problems with Yami Malik sabotaging the rides. They ended up getting on Dumbo, Pirates of the Caribbean, the carousel, It's A Small World, and other rides at least three more times.
"Did you have fun?" Yugioh asked.
"Yes, it was a lot of fun. Thank you very much," Yugi responded.
"You're very welcome," Yugioh said.
"I'll help you contact President Wong," the Great Spirit said. A phone appeared in the air. Yugi answered it and President Wong was on the ohter end. Yugi told him about the experience.
"I was actually going to take you there myself. Yugioh really did help me out," President Wong said.
"I hope we can see each other again," Yugi said.
"I hope so too," the President said as he hung up the phone.
Yugi told Yugioh what President Wong said.
"Well, I guess we can go home now," Yugioh said.
"Yeah, I want to tell Grandpa abotu my experience," Yugi said. He then went to the bathroom to bathe, brush his teeth and get dressed. He came out forty-five minutes later.
Yugioh snapped his fingers, and all the clothing that was left in the drawers disappeared. The carry-on bag in the bathroom also disappeared, leaving only what was left in the room when they first got there. Then the left the room, made sure the door was locked, and went to the front desk to return the keys.
After they returned the keys, Yugioh flew Yugi to a souvenir shop. They got all kinds of stuff that was placed into another carry-on bag which disappeared after they were done. Yugioh took Yugi's hand and teleported back home.
"Welcome back you two," Solomon said.
"Thanks Grandpa, I had a wonderful time," Yugi said.
"Where did you go?" Solomon asked.
"Yugioh took me to Disneyland," Yugi responded. "We spent a week there, and I haven't too long ago found out that President Wong was going to do it anyway," he added.
"I didn't know that President Wong was going to take him. If I did, I would've just gone anyway," Yugioh said.
"You are full of surprises Yugioh. I'm just glad that Yugi had a good time and is safe. I saw the plane disaster on the news and was worried sick until you helped out," Solomon said. "Now tell me all about your time at Disneyland," he added.
Yugi then told him everything that happened. The discussion went through the rest of the day and into the wee hours of the night.
"Wow, that really was a wonderful time. Except for when Yami Malik interfered of course," Solomon said.
Yugi went upstairs to prepare for bed. He took a shower, brushed his teeth and went into his room. He put on his pajamas and climbed into bed. He was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Yugioh came in the room and found Yugi asleep. Yugi didn't have the covers over him this time, so he was shivering. Yugioh put the covers over Yugi and knelt next to the bed. He stroked Yugi's hair and whispered a good night in his ear. He gave Yugi a soft kiss on the forehead and pulled up a chair next to the bed to watch over the sleeping teen.
Well, here's chapter 9. Preview for Chapter 10: The New Enemy Revealed: Strange things are occuring in the city. No one can explain what is happening. Yugioh has a feeling that all that is happening is not tied to Yami Malik, but someone more powerful. If you were wondering about the new enemy from chapter 6, wonder no more. You will finally know who the new enemy is.
