Chapter 4 - It All Starts Now
News Reporters from all over the world arrived in Domino City just yesterday, desperately trying to get an interview with the most skilled duelists before the start of 'Battle City 6.' There were tons of them in all shapes and sizes. Many of which spoke a totally different language. One of the better known ones here in the United States was a young reporter named Kit. She had strawberry blonde hair that came straight down to her shoulders. She was wearing a tight black tank top with tight cacky pants. At the moment she was interviewing a man named Rex, the 'Dino Duelist.'
"So Rex, do you plan on winning this time?" she asked curiously. The camera man, Dave, zoomed in on Rex's face so you can see his expression fully. He was smirking in a most unusual way. It was as if he held the keys to all the hidden answers in the universe.
"Do I plan on winning you ask?" Rex said giving off some slight annoying chuckles to go with it. "Of course I do! Ever since that porcipine tri-colored haired freak and his pet cheerleader Joey Wheeler beat me all the way back in Duelist Kingdom my life had changed dramatically! I've been bullied and jumped when I was younger and now that I'm older I've got people talking behind my back even more! It's not that I just want to win. It's that I have to win! I need to prove myself by tearing Yugi Motou down!" Rex shouted angrily with his fist clenched tightly together shaking in mid-air. Suddenly his lips curved up and his eyes narrowed darkly.
"Joey Wheeler will never see the light of day again. I'll do whatever it takes to destroy him." he said evilly. He actually said it more to himself than to anybody else. In fact, he didn't even remember that there were still people there. Everyone just stood there for a second. What Rex had just said to them made them quiver a bit. He seemed so cruel and heartless. Apparently he was done with his train of thoughts because he looked up to face them.
Noticing the look of pure shock scratched upon their faces he just than realized that he had said all that stuff out loud. ' Well that's not good.' he thought worriedly. He then shot up both his hands in a motion saying that he didn't mean it. "My bad you guys." His left hand now rubbing the back of his head while his right hand was resting on his side he tried his hardest to convince them that none of it was true. Of course it was true but he didn't want to lose any of his fans now did he?
Terra was watching this little scene from across the street with much satisfaction in her dark violet orbs. Rex always wanted revenge against her uncle and his best friend. To bad he could never complete this task. Whenever he'd go in for the strike he'd wind up missing. It was frickin hilarious!!!
She stood there calmly with her arms crossed over her chest while leaning against a silver colored telephone booth. The tounamant was today. Seto Kaiba had decided to have it start at exactly 12:00 in the morning. Terra took a glance at her wristwatch. It was now 11:27. 'Just a bit more than half an hour then the games can finally begin.' she thought smirking to herself. She had just gotten out of a mother daughter argument earlier this morning and she wanted to have some fun. Terra got in a whole bunch of trouble for leaving the TV on in her room. Stupid reason huh? Well atleast she didn't get grounded. Thank God.
------------------------------------------------------
"Odion! Come here!" Marik shouted furiously. Odion was in the middle of preparing both his deck and his master's when he heard him screaming his name.
When Odion arrived in Marik's throne room Marik was pacing back and forth obviously in a bad temper. " Yes Master Marik?"
Upon hearing his most prized servants voice he looked up. Pure hatred showed in his once calm violet eyes.
"I'm growing quite tired of waiting Odion. When will you be finished?! As you well know waiting is NOT something I enjoy!!!" he stood there glaring at his adopted older brother venomously. If looks could kill he'd be dead right now. With absolutely no questions asked.
"I'll be done shortly Master Marik. I promise." he said sincerely. His master gets colder and colder every single day. Malik's doing alright now but Marik can't seem to calm down.
"Well hurry it up you pathetic bafoon! If you're not done by the time 'Battle City 6' starts I'll send you to the Shadow Realm! Hear me?! I'll make sure you cease to exist in this world!" he growled darkly. Then, while looking over the Millenium Rod held in his hand, he added something that Odion had never wanted to ever hear again. " Along with Malik. How would you like that Odion? You're supposed to be protecting him. It has always been your sworn duty to do so. Am I not correct?..." Marik stopped for a second, considering his words carefully, " slave?"
Odion stood there with the look of betrayal spread across his face. Had his brother just called him 'slave?' He had said it before but now it seemed more harsher than ever. Silence was swept across the darkness of the gloomy hideout beneath the city of Domino. Marik looked upwards from his rod towards his older brother knowing that he had hit him and that he had hit him hard.
Odion didn't even consider answering his cruel question. He didn't want to answer the person who was calling him a slave. This wasn't his brother at all. Malik was his true brother. Not Marik! Marik was just his brother's darkside and that's all he's ever been. A darkside. There's nothing but hatred in him. There's no love, compassion, not the slightest care in him for others, he wasn't human. He had killed his own father at age eleven and as for the way he did it? That definitely means something. You can't forget the past of something as dreadful as that. No way!
Marik, now tired of waiting for a reply from his servant, began to advance on him. Odion was so lost in his train of thoughts he didn't even realize Marik was now right beside him, glaring at him evilly. He was being ignored by Odion, not on purpose, but still ignored. He hated it tremendously. He backed up about a foot away from Odion and seized his golden rod from where his back pocket was and slid it out of his dealthly colored black belt. He then drew the dagger from it aiming for Odion. ' I'll teach you to have some respect for your superiors my dear servant.' he thought evilly drawing back his rod ready to strike down with tremendous force through his brother's back. Every single second now the darkness in his heart began to take more and more control giving Marik the overwhelming urge to kill his brother. His devilish smirk grew even wider. He felt the same way when he was only a child. He had absolutely no care for the person he was doing it to or how he'd finish them off. 'I should have done this ages ago.' he thought evilly.
Just as he was about to strike, Malik ran in seemingly out of breath. Odion came out of his trance and felt the presence of his master standing right beside him with the dagger's end of the rod aiming right towards him. ' Wait! Was Master Marik planning on killing me?' he thought disgusted. Marik, taking control again over his overpowering anger, quickly withdrew the rod and slid it back into his belt putting on his expression of an ' I didn't do anything.' look.
Of course this did not go unoticed to Malik. "MARIK!!! What do you think you're doing?! If you hurt Odion in the tiniest way you'll pay!!!" Malik shouted with pure rage. 'Marik and his ways of acting towards something are so naive. Even if you've known him for a second you'll know how he'd react to certain problems that occur.'
Marik decided that he didn't want to get into an argument now so he just smirked at his hikari and walked off as if nothing ever happened. He hadn't threatened his older brother like that in a long time. Why was he about to kill him? Malik just stood there watching his darkside walk away. Oh how he despised him sometimes. Marik was sick. Atleast about one thousand people have called him crazy in his life. No doubt about that. That's because he IS crazy. He's also a murderer.
After Marik had dissapeared into the distance with only his shadow left behind Malik glanced over at Odion. Odion seemed sort of worn out. Malik slowly walked over to him with deep concern in his light violet eyes. If he hadn't arrived Marik would have surely killed his best friend, his brother. He couldn't survive without Odion. I mean, it's not like he can't survive and continue living. It's that he'd be depressed for the rest of his life. He just couldn't live with himself if something were to happen to him or his sister, Ishizu.
His sister was really bright. She knows just about everything. She owns a museum right here in Domino as well. Ishizu has extremely long midnight black hair that reaches her lower back and you always catch her wearing an egyptian type dress. I wonder how she survives with all that hair? Looks like you could get a lot of rat's nests in there which you can. Now that's a nightmare that will keep you awake. Back in Egypt, when they were little, Ishizu wouldn't come out of her room for hours because she had knots in her hair. It got on Malik's nerves. I mean, it was just hair. 'Who cares about hair?' Malik would wonder countless hours just trying to figure this dumb thing out. They cared for each other deeply though. After all, they were brother and sister.
When Malik reached his destination Odion just looked at him for a second. "Odion? Are you alright?" Malik asked.
"Yes Master Malik. I'm fine. I just need some rest is all." he answered.
"Okay brother. Go get some sleep." he said rather calmly.
Then it just dawned on Odion that he needed to finish preparing Master Marik's deck or other wise he'd be severly punished. Malik, noticing Odion's sense of worry, asked him what it was. When he finished telling him, Malik said that he'd do it for him instead. It may have been 11:57 in the morning but Odion needed the rest anyway since he hadn't gotten any sleep last night. In only three minutes 'Battle City 6' was going to start.
------------------------------------------------------ -
'Only three more minutes.' thought a very determined duelist. Terra was looking forward to this for a long time. She couldn't control her excitement. With this tournamant she was going to finally find her father, Marik Ishtar.
There were many other duelists waiting along with her. There was Espa Roba, Rex Raptor, Weevil Underwood...Wait!!! Weevil Underwood?!!! She glanced over her shoulder looking back at the annoying 'Bug Duelist.' It was indeed him. Oh how she hated him. He made her sick. Of course, who doesn't become sick when they see him? She certainly couldn't think of anybody.
"5...4...3...2...1...0!!!" shouted the entire crowd excitedly. 'Battle City 6' was finally here and Terra was going to win.
--------------------------------------------------------
'Today's the day.' thought Marik. He was ready to destroy the pharoah's spirit and once again kidnap his so called friends and family. 'He'll be so devastated when he finds out that I'm back for my revenge. He won't know what to do. I'll make sure he never gets to see another day of light again.' he thought darkly. It was going to be fun destroying him this time.
He continued down the busy streets of Domino soon coming towards a dark alley. He made his turn into it and stopped instantly. There leaning against the brook wall on the side of the alley stood a man about his age. His red hat covering his eyes and his right foot crossing over his left. He looked as if he had just had an extremely bad day.
'Let's see what his problem is.' Marik thought evilly. Marik walked over to him slowly, hoping that whoever this was could help him carry out his lust for destuction and revenge.
Upon hearing someone walk over to him the guy jumped up shooting to his defensive level automatically. When he looked up he came eye to eye with his intruder. This man had a black sleeveless shirt on with realy light colored brown pants. He had a long, dark violet cape on and had platinum blonde hair that was sticking up on end. 'Just like Yugi's hair.' the man thought.
"Who are you?! You caped freak!"
"My names Marik Ishtar. How about you?" he said deeply.
The man looked at him for a second debating on whether or not he should tell him his name. 'Ahh...hec with it.'
"The names Rex Raptor."
Sorry for the cliffhanger guys but the chapters been getting a bit too long and I'm still trying to come up with a conversation between them. I'm planning on having these two guys join forces because they both have one of the same enemy. You know, both Yugi and Joey? Anyways, like I always say I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'm always looking forward to writing more. Definitely!!! Oh, and I want to give a big 'Thanx' to those who are reviewing my story. You're the best! It makes me a lot more confident that people are actually reading this and letting me know that this story doesn't suck. Once again thank you 'animeaddict99' and 'Vladimir Lenin'. You guys rock!!!
