"So it seems," Yami said, "But how can you be so sure that your 'love' wants to team with you? Or even still loves you back?"
Vittoria threw a dirty look at Yami, then she looked over at Bakura.
"So, do you?", she asked Bakura.
"I'll answer the second question first. You were a bit of a nuisance back then, but I still loved you, and still do, in fact," Bakura told her, "I'm reworking the game right now to allow for us to team up against Yugi. There, your all set to play my mistress, the Dark Witch."
"So there, Yugi," Vittoria said, smirking at him, "I guess your screwed now. Aha-ha-ha!"
Vittoria placed her piece on the board near Castle Zorc.
Vicki looked down at her clothes, and then looked around frantically. Her paranoia was starting to set in. She had no idea where she was or how she was going to get out of here. Much less how she came to be dressed as a light fairy. She was surrounded by people she barely knew apart from the fact that they were Ryou's friends. She was starting to freak out.
"It's OK," Tèa told her, "It's going to be alright. You're among friends."
"Yeah, we'd never let anything happen to ya," Joey added, messing with her hair.
She began to feel better knowing she was with friends.
"So you have a Millennium Item, too, Vicki?", Yugi asked.
"Mm-hm", she nodded shyly, "the Charm. I also have a yami of my own. Her name's Vittoria Lampo."
"Let me guess, she's the dark brunette that just teamed up with the guy who's out to end us," Tristan remarked.
"Unfortunately, yes," Vicki answered.
"Why would she want to do that?", Miho asked.
"Just for kicks. She loves chaos and destruction, and relishes in other people's torture and deaths," Vicki told her.
"She has one sick sense of humor, you know that?", Joey said.
"I have a feeling she's the type that won't hesitate to hurt you to get what she wants," Tèa remarked, "Am I right?"
Vicki hung her head as tears fell from her eyes.
"She uses psychological torture to hurt me when I don't do what she wants."
"That bitch," Joey remarked.
"It's a new round!", Vittoria exclaimed,"The battle continues!"
"Although Zorc lost a hand when his guard was down, he actually looks uninjured," Bakura narrated, "You could even say things got worse for our adventurers."
"Oh no!," Tèa said, "Look at Zorc's hand!"
"It's mutating!", Yugi exclaimed.
The hand mutated into an eyeball monster and a dragon.
"Aack!", Vicki cried, "It turned into monsters!"
"Any piece of flesh cut from my body transforms into a monster under my command!", Zorc told them.
"Rats!", Yugi exclaimed.
"Zorc is the source of all darkness! Poki!", the little yellow creature said, "He will continue to spawn monsters until you put out his evil life once and for all. Poki!"
"Guh huh guh huh!", the dragon said, "Leave them to us, Master Zorc."
"Very well," Zorc replied before leaving, "Kill them!"
"Are you running away, Zorc?", Yugi shouted, "Fight us here!"
"I have a special place prepared for our duel together!", Zorc explained, "Make your way to my castle while the fires of hatred still burn in your heart! If you can that is! H-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!"
"Zorc takes flight and disappears towards the castle," Bakura narrates.
"Jerk! Creep! Power Gamer!", Joey yelled, "We'll get to Zorc Castle no matter what it takes! You're going down, I tell you! Down!"
We're playing right into Bakura's script!, Yugi mind-linked, We really are stuck in his game world!
You're right! Bakura made Zorc appear when the adventurers' guard was down. Then he was able to seal your souls into lead figures! Everything's gone according to his plan!, Yami replied, He's a game master to watch out for!
And when Bakura rolls the dice, he always gets a critical!, Yugi mind-linked back, Is there any way we can win?
There is!, Yami told him.
"It's a battle!", Vittoria exclaimed.
"Warrior, it's your turn to attack!," Bakura said, "Now, Yugi! Roll the dice! But, don't forget! If you roll a fumble, that character will die!"
"Energetic Slash!", Bakura narrated, "The warrior cuts his opponent in half!"
"Am...amazing, Yugi!", Vittoria said, "Another critical hit!"
"Can he...?", Bakura gasped.
"Hey, get the lead out, Bakura!," Joey yelled, "So I killed him, right? What happens next?"
"Uh...", Bakura was stumped, "Seeing his companion slain by the warrior, the other monster hesitates and loses his next action! Beast tamer! It's your turn!"
I have to make as many monster allies as possible before entering Castle Zorc!, Yugi thought, This monster is strong! It would be great to have him on our side!
"I'll hold him down! Poki!", Poki said.
"I'm capturing you!", Yugi told the dragon, "Beast tamer hand power!"
"Until a few minutes ago, the dragon was a part of Zorc!", Bakura explained, "The potential to brainwash him is a very low 10%!"
Ten percent! I need a dice roll of less than 10 or I fail, Yugi thought, But I believe in the other me!
"Here goes!", Yami said.
Heh...The red dice of the 10s column is an eight!, Bakura thought, There's no way he can...Eh?! What?! The spinning die hit the stopped die to change the roll...What is this technique?!
"One of the many ways of cheating with dice, the double hit!", Yami told him, "The same class as your 'run of criticals', Bakura!"
"Another critical!", Bakura remarked.
That means I get to brainwash him!, Yugi thought, Magic training hands, come forth!
So that jerk Bakura was cheating!, Joey thought.
"If you can cheat...I can too!", Yami said, "Too bad for you...Bakura!"
"Bakura's been busted!", Vicki remarked, "Oh, Yeah!"
But, she thought, If he's been messing with us, I cant imagine what it will be like when my yami finally gets into the game.
"OK," Bakura said, "From now on, we let the dice slide off our hands. Spinning is prohibited!"
