Chapter 9: The Underground World
Yugi and I were sleeping peacefully. At nightfall, Yugioh awakened us.
"Did you two sleep well?" Simba asked.
"We sure did," Yugi and I responded together.
"Would you like to go for a walk?" Yugioh asked.
"Sure," I answered as Yugi only nodded.
Yugi and I walked out of Pride Rock. We slowly walked through the Pridelands. We didn't see Yugioh or Simba walking with us.
/Yugioh?/
//Yes Yugi//
\Where are you?\
\\Yugioh and I are flying above you\\
Yugi and I looked up to see Yugioh and Simba above us. They waved down to us. We waved up to them. From out of nowhere, a wildebeest stampede charged our way. Yugi moved to climb a tree.
"No Yugi, the wildebeest can smash through trees when they stampede," I said.
Yugioh and Simba flew down. Yugioh grabbed Yugi and flew up. Simba did the same with me. The stampede lasted for half an hour. Then Yugioh and Simba put Yugi and me down. They resumed their places in the air.
"I wonder what made those wildebeest stampede," Yugioh said. "I didn't sense fear."
"I forgot about that. Ever so often, the wildebeest would just go for a run. Because the whole herd runs, everyone scrambles to get out of their way," Simba said.
Yugi and I continued walking with Simba and Yugioh flying overhead. An hour later, Yugi and I fell into a vortex. Yugioh and Simba flew down into the vortex before it closed. All four of us ended up on our feet in a strange world. We looked around to see dirt walls.
"Where are we?" Yugi asked.
Yugioh flew up. He was out of sight in half an hour and still going higher. The ceiling was five miles up. He vanished and reappeared on the ground.
"We're in an underground world. The ceiling is even made of dirt," Yugioh responded.
"Then you and I can easily break through it," Simba said.
"I wouldn't if I were you. As you have seen, a trap can come out of anywhere. In this part of the world, I have traps aimed for Keisha and Yugi. To assure their safety, it will be better for you to stay with them," the voice of the evil sorcerer said.
Yugi, Yugioh, Simba and I stayed together. Half an hour later, two giant bats flew our way.
"Simba, stay with Keisha and Yugi. I'll take care of them," Yugioh said.
"Good luck," Simba said. "Get on my back you two."
Yugi and I got on Simba's back. Yugioh flew up to meet the bats head on. The bats started off by coming from both sides. Yugioh noticed that their speed would be enough to knock each other out. He flew up at the last minute, and the bats slammed into the each other. They fell to the ground. Simba turned the two bats into a single ball. Yugioh landed, and Yugi and I got off Simba's back.
"Nice work," I said.
"Thank you," Yugioh said.
We walked on. The evil sorcerer watched us from his crystal ball. He thought about splitting us up.
'I need to split them up. I believe I know how;. I'll split them up so they're with the other's partner. I'll put Keisha with Yugioh and Yugi with Simba. It will appear that Yugi and Yugioh and Simba and Keisha will be together, but they would be split up again (A/N: I know this may sound confusing, but the next paragraph will clarify it),' the evil sorcerer thought.
Yugi and Yugioh walked next to one another. Simba and I were next to each other as well. An hour later, we fell through two trap doors and slid down tubes. Yugi and Yugioh slid down one, and Simba and I slid down the other. A few minutes later, the tubes began to split.
"Yugi, grab my hand," Yugioh said as he streched out his hand.
Yugi reached to take Yugioh's hand, but his hand pushed against the wall of the separate tube. The same thing happened when I tried to reach Simba's paw. We were split up again. Yugioh came out in another part of the world.
'Where am I? Where's Yugi?' Yugioh thought as the tube he came down closed.
His thoughts were interrupted by someone sliding. He looked to the end of the tube to the right of him and saw me come out and go up.
"Keisha!" he shouted as he flew up.
I was still going up from the force and speed of the slide down the tube. I didn't hear Yugioh's outburst because I was out of hearing range in seconds. I was a mile up before I started to fall.
"Gotcha," Yugioh said. He caught me just as I started to fall. He flew down and landed then minutes later. He set me down and asked, "Are you all right?"
"I am now," I responded.
"What happened?" he asked.
"It happened so fast. Simba and I slid down a tube side by side. We tried to reach for each other, but we go split up. I ended up going in the air because the tube I slid down got smoother, making me go faster," I responded.
"That was mostly the same way I got here. Yugi and I also slid side by side. The tube started to split into two tubes. I stretched out my hand and told Yugi to grab it. He almost did when we were split up. I ended up on my feet here. I wondered where Yugi was, but my thoughts were interrupted when I saw you slide out and up," Yugi said. He got tense.
"What is it?" I asked.
Yugioh reached out and grabbed a vampire by the neck. "Here's your answer," he responded. "What do you want?" he asked it.
"The girl will be one of us," it responded.
"Not if I have something to say about it," Yugioh said. He threw the vampire high into the air and sent a concentrated energy blast at it.
It screamed as it disintegrated in the blast. Just then, hands came out from the ground, grabbing our ankles. Yugioh simply flew up with a yank. The hands loosened their grip as that happened. It was another vampire. Yugioh's forceful movement yanked it out of the ground and made it let go.
"Help me!" I cried as I was being pulled underground.
Yugioh grabbed my hand and pulled me up. The vampires pulling me down were no match for his strength and got pulled up with me. Then he flew up quickly. The vampires couldn't take the wind and fell off one by one until all ten of them fell off. He pulled me up until I was at face level with him. Then he wrapped an arm under my knees. He wrapped the other one around my back.
"Let's stay in the air for now," Yugioh said as he flew on.
I nodded as he flew past the vampire area. In another part of the world, Simba and Yugi had troubles of their own. Baccheye (A/N: I would really appreciate it if someone could show me how to spell this word) were after Yugi. A Baccheye is similar to a vampire, except they can turn into any animal they choose to as well as climb walls easily.
"Try as you may to stop us, but the young one will be ours," one of the Baccheye said.
"Yugi will never be one of you," Simba said.
A female Baccheye came by at a blur. Yugi didn't see it, but Simba did. Simba lashed out his tail and caught her by the neck. Then he slammed her to the ground. However, there were a lot more of them. Every one of them came for Simba and Yugi.
"Get on my back Yugi. I have an idea," Simba said.
Yugi got on Simba's back and asked, "What do you intend to do?"
"You'll see," Simba responded as he closed his eyes in concentration.
Yugi saw sparkles appear in the air. There were fire and energy sparkles. The sparkles started to form a ball. The ball got bigger as more sparkles poured into it. An hour later, a huge ball was formed. The Baccheye couldn't stop and ran into the ball. The ball was large enough to fit all thirty of them. As the finishing touch, Simba breathed fire on the ball. The fire went around the ball, locking it tight. The Baccheye were imprisoned in the ball of fire and energy. Simba walked on with Yugi on his back. There were holes in the ceiling, and the moonlight filtered through. Simba walked the rest of the night.
When the moonlight became sunlight, Yugi went to sleep on Simba's back. Simba walked on as Yugi slept on Simba's back. Simba walked on as Yugi slept. Simba used his powers to make sure Yugi didn't fall off. He had two concerns: keeping Yugi safe and finding Yugioh and me. Yugioh and I are just fine. Yugioh continued flying through the air with me sleeping in his arms. A few hours ago, he flew through a laser beam area. He put a protective coating on me before he flew into the laser beam area. At nightfall, he landed. He awakened me before putting me down.
"Woooooo!" a creepy voice shouted.
"What was that?" I asked.
More creepy voices sounded off. A few moments later, the sources of the voices came into the light. I shook with fright. The voices came from zombies. Yugioh took a protective stance in front of me.
"Stay behind me Keisha," Yugioh said.
One of the zombies attempted to take me from behind. With lightning speed, Yugioh kicked the zombie in the stomach, sending it smashing into the wall. It broke into pieces. Being a zombie, it just pulled itself back together.
"What are we going to do now?" I asked.
"I have an idea," Yugioh responded as he turned himself into a large tree. "I just turned myself into a dead tree with dead vines. Do what you can to get those zombies over here, and I'll wrap my vines around them. The only way to defeat zombies is to tie them to dead trees with dead vines."
I nodded and ran into the zombie circle. The tried to grab me at once. I ducked them all and ran for the tree. They followed even though Yugioh said what he planned to do. Zombies are brainless so they would do practically everything. When the zombies were close enough, Yugioh wrapped his vines around all of them and pulled them to his bark. Sure enough, they disappeared.
"Killer job," I said.
Yugioh wrapped his vines around me and lifted me up. Then he changed back to his normal state.
"Showoff," I said hitting him playfully.
"So I'm a showoff huh? I'll show off some more," Yugioh said with a mischievous glint in his violet eyes. He flew straight up. He stopped at a mile and then flew straight down. He pulled up at the last minute.
I laughed the whole time. I knew he wouldn't hit the ground. Besides, Simba did that a lot of times so I was used to it. Yugioh landed, put me down and we continued walking. I always wondered where Simba and Yugi were. In another part of the world, Simba and Yugi were in a big situation. Simba was occupied with a group of flying tigers. Every time he knocked one group out of commission, another group appeared as the out of commission group disappeared. Yugi had his own trouble. He was cornered by an anaconda, a giant snake. The anaconda lunged for him.
"Yugi!" he heard two voices shout.
He felt himself being lifted into the air. The anaconda missed him by only a couple of feet. Yugi looked up to see a pleasing sight.
"Yugioh, Keisha, you don't know how glad I am to see you," Yugi said.
Yugioh lowered Yugi to the ground. Then he landed and placed me on my feet. "I'm glad to see you too. Now to destroy this snake," he said. His body became fire and he flew at the anaconda.
The anaconda was dust a few moments later. Yugioh then flew up to help Simba.
"Need some help?" Yugioh said.
"Big time, and glad to see you," Simba said.
"Glad to see you too," Yugioh said as he gave Simba a hand.
The two of them made quick work of the tigers and cast a spell to keep others from coming back. They landed; I got on Simba's back, and Yugioh picked up Yugi. They flew up. Simba was glad to see that I was safe.
"I'm so glad you're safe Keisha. Thank you for keeping her safe Yugioh," Simba said.
"That's what friends are for," Yugioh said. "You did a lot to keep Yugi safe too."
"As you just said, that's what friends are for," Simba said smiling.
A portal appeared, and they flew into it. We arrived back in Pride Rock. Simba and Yugioh landed. I got off Simba's back, and Yugioh put Yugi down.
"We're so glad you're all right. We were worried sick about you," Kiara said.
"Yugi, Yugioh and I would like you to meet Timon and Pumbaa," Nala said.
"I'm Timon, and this warthog is Pumbaa," a meerkat said. "Do you want to have fun with us?" he added.
"I would love to," Yugi responded.
"You and me both," I said.
"Just be careful okay?" Yugioh asked.
"We will," Yugi and I said together. We then went off with Timon and Pumbaa.
Done here. Only two more chapters to go. Preview for Chapter 10: The World of no Return: Yugi and I are having fun with Timon and Pumbaa. Our fun is cut short with Timon and Pumbaa. Our fun is cut short wen Yugi and I are pulled into a vortex. We find out that we are in the world of no return. It is called that because no one ever came out alive. Yugi and I just wandered around in hopes that we will return alive. Yugioh and Simba are our only hopes of returning, but will they get to us in time?
