Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: *Glares at everyone* Hell, why do I have to go through this every new chapter? I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, plain and simple.
Claimer: Okay, I own this plot, Mel, Mark, and Michael, duh. Oh, I also own Aura Beast.
Chapters Remaining After This One: 9
Jaden's P.O.V
I said I was sorry, Marron. But after what you said, we had to hurry up. It sounds like Mel might be in serious trouble, Dark Magician Girl apologized. Marron huffed from his place in Yugi's arms. Marron had caught up to us only a moment ago and gave us a piece of his mind for leaving him. But he was slowing us down, so Yugi picked him up.
"Where does this hallway lead to anyway?" Alexis asked. She was holding my hand as we ran down the hall. Dark Magician Girl shrugged.
It could lead anywhere. There are many turns, Dark Magician Girl said. Amethyst Cat had her nose pressed to the ground. She was following the scent of Topaz Tiger.
There you guys are! Topaz Tiger said. We looked up to see him and Pegasus stopped at a fork in the hallway. Amethyst ran to Topaz. He met her halfway. We followed them over to Pegasus. Kaibaman looked at him.
Where is Mel? He asked. Topaz looked at him.
She went down this hall, he said. Hassleberry looked at him.
"Then why are you guys still here?" he asked. Pegasus looked at him.
This is why. Without a word, Pegasus trotted down the hall that Topaz indicated Mel went down. When he was out of our site, he reappeared out of the other hallway. I did a double take.
"How did you do that?" I asked. Pegasus shook his head.
I didn't. Something in that hallway made me appear and come out over here, Pegasus explained. Dark Magician Girl.
And you're positive that Mel went down that hall? Dark Magician Girl asked. Both Pegasus and Topaz nodded. When she received confirmation, Dark Magician Girl nodded herself and snapped her hand. Her wand appeared in it. Syrus looked at her confused.
"Where are you going, Dark Magician Girl?" Syrus asked. Dark Magician Girl smiled at him.
To get someone so we can go down that hallway. I'll be right back. With that, Dark Magician Girl waved her wand in the air and then disappeared. We all looked at Kaibaman.
"Where did she go?" Jesse asked. Kaibaman looked at him.
To get the Sage. We need him to release the spell cast on that corridor so we may go down it, Kaibaman explained.
"How did Mel get down it?" Blair asked. Kaibaman didn't answer. Blair looked annoyed but didn't say anything. Everyone was quiet for a few minutes when suddenly Dark Magician Girl reappeared with an old magician. He held a large, spiraled, wooden staff with a black crystal ball on top. I recognized the duel monster immediately.
Kaibaman bowed to Dark Sage.
Sage, Kaibaman said. Dark Sage nodded at him. Kaibaman rose up with his back straight. Dark Sage walked around Dark Magician Girl and to the corridor we need to go down. He looked back at Dark Magician Girl.
So you wish me to remove the enchantment I have cast on this hallway, Empress? Dark Sage asked. Dark Magician Girl nodded.
Yes. We need to get a friend who may be in trouble from that hallway, Dark Magician Girl explained. Dark Sage looked shocked for a moment.
No one should be able to go down this hall. Is the person you need to retrieve human?He asked. Dark Magician Girl nodded.
Yes, how did you know? she asked. Dark Sage shook his head.
Just a guess, Empress, he said. Dark Sage then extended his hand toward the hall. Rilascio. Suddenly, a bright light exploded in the mouth of the hallway. Then, blue, sparkly particles flittered down to the ground, disappearing. Grasping his staff, Dark Sage turned back to Dark Magician Girl.
Come and get me again so I may seal the hall again, Empress, he ordered. When she nodded, he raised his staff and stamped in on the ground, disappearing in a puff of smoke. We coughed, waving our hands to try and get the smoke out of our faces.
"Weird," Blair said. Dark Magician Girl began heading down the hallway.
Let's move, she said. We all nodded and headed after her.
"I'm getting a little creped out," Syrus said. Hassleberry nodded.
"Yeah, are we sure Mel's down this way?" he asked. Topaz growled at him. He was leading us with his nose to the ground.
My nose never lies! He snarled. Hassleberry nodded a terrified look on his face. Jesse scowled at Topaz.
"Calm down, Topaz," he ordered. Topaz nodded. When he turned back to look in front of us, he stopped. Amethyst looked at him, worried.
Topaz, what's wrong? She asked.
Look for yourself, he said. Amethyst turned and gasped at what she saw. We all looked in front of us, but we couldn't see anything. It was pitch black.
"I can't see anything," Chazz complained. Dark Magician Girl extended her hand toward the wall. I could make out the shape of a torch.
Luce, she said.
"Light," Jesse whispered, explaining what she said. Suddenly, the torch sparked green and then lit. The fire seemed to spread down the wall to the other torches, lighting the entire hallway. When everything was lit, we all looked to see what had freaked out Topaz and Amethyst.
Boy, I understood how it freaked them out.
"Mel?" Jesse said, taking a step forward. Mel turned toward us. She was at the very end of the hall. She had her hands pressed against the door in front of her, like she was trying to open it, but it just wouldn't open. Her hair was limp around her, and her eyes were just like how Marron described. Sky blue...and lifeless.
"Arcobaleno Cavaliere," she breathed. Her voice sounded different. It was light, and innocent. Jesse's brow furrowed in confusion.
"Rainbow Knight?" he said confused. Dark Magician Girl and Kaibaman gasped. Bastion looked at Michael.
"When did Mel learn Italian?" he asked. Michael shook his head and looked at him.
"Mel doesn't speak Italian," he answered. He then turned his attention back to Mel. She kept her lifeless eyes on Jesse before looking at me.
"Elementare Cavaliere," she said. I stared at her confused. Jesse looked back at me. I looked at him.
"What did she call me?" I asked.
"Elemental Knight," he answered. Kaibaman and Dark Magician Girl both looked at me in shock, and then at Mel. She kept looking at us when suddenly, she started screaming, her hands shooting up to hold her head. Jesse ran right to her, catching her before she crumpled to the ground. Alexis' hand tightened around mine and I looked at her. She was staring at me, a worried look on her face. I squeezed her hand and looked back at Jesse and Mel. Mel was pushing against him, trying to get him off of her. He seemed to be whispering soothing words to her. I didn't think they were working until Mel suddenly collapsed in his arms, out like a light. Jesse held her and looked at us.
"What was that all about?" he asked, his eyes on Dark Magician Girl. She shook her head.
I don't know, she answered. Michael looked like he wanted to say something when Kaibaman spoke up.
Let's get out of this corridor and get Mel back to her room. Then the Empress can re-exam her, he said. We all nodded and began to leave, Jesse carrying Mel in his arms. She looked sicker than when we brought her here. Her skin was almost translucent and her hair was wet with sweat. I looked at Jesse when he caught up to me.
"What do you think just happened?" I asked him in a whisper. Jesse shrugged.
"I have no idea, but I have a feeling Dark Magician Girl and Kaibaman do," he said, his eyes looking at Kaibaman and Dark Magician Girl in an accusing manner. I nodded.
"I bet you're right," I whispered back. We kept walking, past Dark Magician Girl when she stopped in the hall. She turned back, with her hand extended toward the torch.
Scurire, she said. The torch sparked green again and then darkened. The light disappeared down the hall until every light was out.
O.O what happened to Mel? You'll see next chapter!
