Chapter 7: The World Of Non-Being.

 

Din was terrified. Horrified. Petrified. Frightened. Scared. Which word would you like? It would easily describe her fear of this place.

The World Of Non-Being.

They had slipped into a cart of weapons, at Indigo's command (Despite Seto's discontent with that) as it wheeled its way down the dark streets of Non-Domino.

Non-Domino was the name of it here. In their own World, it was called Domino That Is. Every place was either a `Non' or an `Is'. Even big places. Like the Earth there was called Non-Earth because it isn't the actual Earth but a copy. The Original Earth was called Earth That Is. Simple? Maybe not. But it was the way of BOTH Worlds.

But, I digress.

Din stared out a small flap from under the dark tapestry covering the weapons. The sky was blackish red as always, the black sun illuminating the darker parts. This puzzled Din. How could a black sun give off light? Wouldn't it give off darkness? Perhaps it was one of the things that couldn't be explained. Like luck for example. No one can truly `explain' luck, put it into scientific theory, analyze it and come up with an answer. It just....was.

“Viper.” Indigo whispered. “We're almost there. I have a plan.”

“You always have a plan.” Seto scowled sarcastically.

“Because my plans are best.”

“Not always!”

“Cómo atreverse usted?!”

“Shush!” Din whispered harshly. “They might hear us. Let's just go with Indigo's plan.”

“Gracias. Anyway, here's the plan,” He started, growing serious. “The Alternates- Korjata, Altia and Altus -they'll do anything they can to get rid of us, even if temporarily. So they may resort to some despicable things. Like binding us and attacking while we're defenseless or Sleeping Beauty spells.” Din gasped.

“But-But Sleeping Beauty spells have been illegal since...well, Sleeping Beauty!” Seto sighed.

“That's why it's despicable, Din-Chan.” Din lowered her head.

“Sorry.”

“It's alright, Viper. Anyway, be sure to keep your guard up. Please, Din-Chan, if they try to knock you out, hit them. It won't be mean because you're doing it for the greater good. And Cobalt,” He turned to Seto. “Kaiba, use your powers.”

“I don't have to.”

“Yes, you do or you might be defeated.”

“I'm not an Oracle any longer. I haven't used them in a year. I might not even have my powers anymore.”

“You obviously do.”

“Please stop!” Din pleaded. “Please stop fighting.” They glared at each other, grunted and looked away.

“I won't use powers that don't exist.” Seto snarled.

“Fine. Get beaten to a pulp. See if I care.” Indigo retorted. Din sighed. She hated it when people fought. She gripped her Rapiers tightly.

`~if they try to knock you out, hitthem. ~'

`I don't know, Indigo.'

She thought sadly.

`I just don't know if I can.'

 

Altia tapped her foot impatiently. Where were they? Altus said they would be here by now. Everything was ready for them. She hoped it wasn't for nothing.

Altus hummed to himself as he walked down the flight of stairs and into the main hall, dressed in a blackish red version of the Original's formal battle wear (Altia's was black-blue, Korjata's a black-yellow. Originals had pure colors. Alternates had theirs mixed with black). Korjata followed him.

“Playing with your little toy, Altus?” She asked, turning to face him. He smirked.

“Just getting it ready. I wouldn't want Indigo the Noble to be disappointed if something's out of place.”

“Are we already referring to formal names? Altus the Vulgar?” She spat. He merely shook his head.

“No, no. I just want to practice saying it. He's been `Yugi' for an entire year now. I want him to remember his real name.” He chuckled. Korjata blinked, looking angry.

“Formal names; all a thing of the past. Seto the Powerful has left behind his own namesake. He's left his power behind.”

“Because he's afraid of you.” He grinned.

“Indeed. I will be finished with our battle in record time. I can hear it in the World That Is right now.” He said smugly. “Attention all; Seto the Powerful has been defeated by his Alternate, Korjata the Malicious.”

“Why are you even the `Malicious'? Wouldn't you be the opposite of Powerful?” Altia asked.

“Weak or anything along those lines is a derogatory term in either World. It is not a category to accept.”

“I see.” Altus scoffed.

“Just like you, Altia. The opposite of `Wise' is `foolish'. So you were to pick a term that was against `wise' such as `devious'. YOU are Altia the Devious.”

“I understand, Altus.” He nodded.

“You'd better.” He turned to the taller Alternate. “Is everything ready?” He nodded.

“Everything is in perfect order. The three won't know what hit them.”

“Good.” Altus snickered. “I hope Indigo the Noble enjoys my little surprise. We'll have `fun'.”

“Altus!” A voice screamed. Altia looked to Altus. He sneered.

“They're here.”
