[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Recap: Yugi and I were out for a walk with Simba and Yugioh flying overhead. A herd of wildebeest came for their normal run. It seemed like a stampede since the whole herd ran. After that little bit of excitement, things were peaceful until Yugi and I were sucked into a vortex. Yugioh and Simba followed us in, and we found ourselves in an underground world. We were split up; it was Yugioh and me and Simba and Yugi. We eventually found each other and were returned to the Pridelands.

Chapter 10: The World of no Return

Yugi and I went out to have fun with Timon and Pumbaa. After going through that underground world, all Yugi and I wanted to do was have some fun. We soon came to a large square that Simba made in the ground. He used his powers to make it so it was permanent. The large square was split into four smaller squares.
"What is this square for?" Yugi asked.
"Some of the animals and/or I use it to play four squares with," I responded.
"How do you play four squares and what is it?" Yugi asked.
"It's simple really. The four of us take a corner of the very large square. Then we choose whom to change places with. Here's the catch; we can only walk in a straight line (A/N: Four squares is a real game. I played it with my friends at my elementary school)," Timon responded.
"If we only had a fifth person or animal," I said.
"Can I play with you?" a female voice asked.
We looked back and saw one of the lionesses coming up.
"I followed you guys here. I can be the fifth player," she said.
"Okay," Pumbaa said, "the lioness goes in the middle. She is trying to get to your new spot before you. The only thing different about the fifth player is that she can dart out diagonally as well as in a straight line. You have to be quick because if she gets to the spot before you, you have to go in the middle."
"Okay, let's play," Yugi said as he got on a corner.
Timon, Pumbaa and I got on our corners, and the lioness got in the middle. The game was underway. Pumbaa and I switched first. We successfully switched places. Now it was Timon and Yugi's turn. They barely made it to their new places. Yugi and I intended to switch next. I looked as though I was going to switch with Timon.
\Ready Yugi?\
/Yeah. Let's switch/
Yugi and I ran to switch. The lioness looked at Yugi the whole time and was ready for us. She got to Yugi's new spot before him. Yugi looked at me, so that's why the little plan backfired. Yugi had to go in the middle. He got to a corner again when Timon and Pumbaa attempted to switch right after he got to the middle. We went on like that for an hour. We stopped so Yugi could rest for a little bit.
"That was a lot of fun. Thank you," Yugi said.
"No problem," I said.
Half an hour later, Timon, Pumbaa, Yugi and I walked on. We soon came to a small cliff with a lake at the bottom.
"This is where Timon, Pumbaa and I come to dive. We do all kinds of dives here," I said.
"Can you show me a few of them?" Yugi asked.
"We sure can," Timon, Pumbaa and I responded together. "Dive down and get to shore first," we added.
Yugi complied and was ready to watch Timon, Pumbaa me. Timon went first. He did a double somersault into the lake and swam over to Yugi. Then it was my turn. I jumped up to have a little altitude as I did a quadruple roll into the water. I swam to the other side and got out. Last but not least, it was Pumbaa's turn. He did a double flip into the water. Then he swam to the other side and climbed out.
"Those were good dives you guys," Yugi said.
"We do our best," Timon said.
Meanwhile, the evil sorcerer was not pleased at all with the fun that we had. 'Let's see ho Yugi and Keisha like the world of no return,' he thought. He fired a beam right through his crystal ball and turned it into a vortex directly over Yugi and me.
Yugi and I were having a peaceful rest when we were pulled straight up into a vortex very quick. We came out sitting on the ground of an empty world. There was no sign of life anywhere. You could say that it was dead as a doornail because it was so quiet.
"Where are we?" Yugi asked.
"I have no clue," I responded. "It's too quiet here. I have a bad feeling about this place," I added.
"You are right about your feeling. This is the world of no return. It is called that because no one has ever returned from this place alive. You'll see what I mean soon enough. And don't try your mental link because it won't work here. You're all alone with no way to get help," the voice of the evil sorcerer said.
"What are we going to do now?" I asked.
"We might as well look around. At least that couldn't hurt," Yugi responded.
I nodded, and we started walking. At daybreak, we slept. The evil sorcerer watched in pleasure from his crystal ball. He knew that without being able to talk mentally, it would be next to impossible for our comrades to be able to find us. By tomorrow, Yugi and I would start turning into ghosts. The next day, we would be full ghosts. Then if not brought out within another three days, the change would become permanent. Yugi and I would be doomed to remain ghosts forever. Meanwhile, Timon and Pumbaa had returned to Pride Rock and delivered the bad news.

| Flashback |

"What is it guys?" Kiara asked.
"Keisha and Yugi were pulled through a vortex. Who knows where they are," Pumbaa responded.
"Could you please explain what happened from the beginning?" Yugioh asked.
"Yugi, Keisha, Pumbaa and I were having a very fun time. We played four squares with one of the lionesses. Then, Keisha, Pumbaa and I dove off a small cliff with a lake at the bottom. A few moments after that, Keisha and Yugi were pulled into a vortex," Timon responded.
"We've got to find them," Simba said.

| End of Flashback |

Yugi and I slept on. We were unaware of the life-threatening event that would soon take place. Our bodies were slowly starting to fade away. A cool breeze woke us up at nightfall. I looked up to see that Yugi was fading away.
"Yugi, you're fading!" I screamed in horror.
"So are you!" Yugi also screamed in horror.
We looked at ourselves to find that we were slowly fading away.
"This must be what the evil sorcerer meant by no one coming back from this world alive. Everyone who got sent here turned into ghosts," I said.
"And that's also why we can't talk mentally here," Yugi added. "With us turning into ghosts, our minds are becoming empty."
If only we could talk mentally. At that moment, Yugioh and Simba were trying to get through to us but came across virtually empty minds.
"Their minds are becoming more empty. What could be the reason?" Simba said.
"I don't know, but it can't be good," Yugioh responded.
"If only we could get through to them," Nala said.
"I know mother," Kiara and Kovu said together.
The next day, Yugi and I waere complete ghosts. We didn't take it too badly. We had a good time just passing through walls and other things. By the next night, we had wandered pretty far into the world and were now lost. The path we took disappeared, leaving us with no way to get back to where we started. That night, we started to feel weak. We sat down, managing to control our ability to pass through things. We had no clue as to why we suddenly felt weak.
"I don't know why I feel so weak," I said.
I know. I feel pretty weak as well," Yugi said.
"So I see you found out why this is the world of no return. In two and a half more days, you will remain ghosts forever," the voice of the evil sorcerer said.
"I don't want to be a ghost for the rest of my life," I said.
"I don't either," Yugi agreed. "We need help now."
The evil sorcerer just watched on. 'I'll give Yugioh and Simba a chance to save them. I'll make it difficult for them to just be able to find them right away. It won't be too difficult since they can't mentally talk to Yugi and Keisha anyway,' he thought as he appeared at Pride Rock.
"What do you want?" Kovu asked.
"I just came to give Simba and the Pharaoh a chance. The reason you can't talk mentally with your young friends is because they're ghosts now," the evil sorcerer responded.
"What?!" Yugioh asked loudly and angrily.
Simba thought the exact same expression that Yugioh shouted out. He was very angry himself. The evil sorcerer was unfazed by their anger. He continued to smirk as he saw the angry looks on their faces. He transported Yugioh and Simba to the world of no return.
"I know that you won't be affected at all by this world because of your great powers. You have only two more days before your young ones are ghosts forever. You can run, but not at lightning speed. I wouldn't make it easy for you at all. Let's see if you can beat the clock because it's ticking away," the voice of the evil sorcerer said.
"Well we might as well get going," Yugioh said.
Simba nodded, and they started running. They only hoped to get to Yugi and me in time. Meanwhile, Yugi and I felt weaker than we did the past day. We walked on regardless. Yugioh and Simba felt our dilemma.
"We've got to make it to them. Theire ghost bodies are making them physically weaker," Simba said in panic.
"I know. They won't have a chance at being alive again much longer. We have to keep running," Yugioh agreed.
They ran on in hopes of getting to us in time. Yugi and I somehow found the strength to keep walking even though it was draining away every minute. We soon had a much bigger problem to worry about. We really didn't watch where we were going because we only looked at the ground and fell over a cliff.
We grasped onto two separate tree branches sticking out a little while down. We held on as best we could, but we knew that our hands could pass through the branches at any time because of our severely weakened states. Simba and Yugioh had sensed the danger we were in. The only bad thing was that time passed quickly in this world.
It was nightfall already. They kept running though. They would not give up until we were safe at Pride Rock. The next morning, Yugi and I were so weak that we could no longer keep a good grip on the branches. Our hands just passed through, and we fell.
"Keisha! Yugi!" two voices cried.
"We've got to get them!" Simba said.
"I know how. Let's become ghosts. Since they're ghosts, the only way to catch them is if we become ghosts as well," Yugioh said.
"Good idea," Simba said. He closed his eyes in concentration and started to fade away. Soon, he was a temporary ghost.
Yugioh did the same, and they flew down after us. Yugioh caught Yugi, and Simba caught me on his back. They flew up and landed away from the cliff. Now the only problem was how to get out in time.
"I'll help you with that," the Great Spirit said.
A portal appeared in the air, and Yugioh and Simba flew through it. They arrived back in the Pridelands. The sun had just gone down, and the moon and stars became visible. Yugi and I regained our bodies and we were living again. Yugioh and Simba took off their ghost spells as Yugi and I became living and took us back to Pride Rock. Yugi and I woke up to find the wind blowing in our faces.
"Are you two all right?" Simba asked.
"We are now thanks to you," I responded.
"It's good to feel the wind," Yugi said.
"I'm with you there," I said.
We arrived at Pride Rock in about half an hour.
"I think that Yugi and I should be leaving soon," Yugioh said.
"You will come back to visit won't you?" I asked sadly.
"Sure we will. You and your friends and family gave us good experiences here," Yugi said.
"There's no harm in spending another night here. We'll leave tomorrow night," Yugioh said.
"I want to tell my friends and grandpa about our adventures here," Yugi said. "Maybe you could visit us someday."
"Maybe," Simba said.
Simba, Yugi, Yugioh and I just relaxed for the rest of the night. The next morning, Yugi and I slept for what would be Yugi and Yugioh's last day in the Pridelands. All Yugi thought about were the good experiences that he had gone through: me being the star of a circus, the fun with Timon and Pumbaa, flying through the Pridelands, and more.



End of Chapter 10. One more to go. Preview for Chapter 11: Going Home: Yugi and Yugioh return to their world and tell their friends and family about all their adventures. They leave out some stuff because in hopes that the others will find out about it another day. This goes in accordance to The Power of Two because I don't want to have these two stories conflict each other.
Until later,
Bye bye.
