Third Game - Dark Sanctuary

[worstdmever]

[A - ACTION - Goldberg Street

Say, Mayfield. You remember Ryo Bakura, right? Kinda awkward British kid, blabbers on and on and on about some children's card game you've probably never heard of? A little bit meek and kinda skittish? Well, no longer. See, he recently received a powerful item known as the Millennium Ring. It's an ancient Egyptian artifact of unspeakable power---though a lot of that power seems to have been drained by Mayfield itself. Still, the one thing the Ring does still allow?

Is for the five thousand-year-old Egyptian tombrobber, Yami Bakura, to maintain near-complete control of his poor, pathetic host. And after hearing about what chaos has been brewing in Mayfield from his dear wife, Téa, Yami Bakura's managed to neutralize her before deciding to head into town to get a good look at all this madness for himself.

It hardly disappoints. Yet there's something he feels he can add to this game to make it a little bit more fun...

B - ACTION - Outside the Post Office

The dark spirit lurches down the sidewalk, his hand curled over a bloody hole in his face where his left eye used to be. What sort of an idiotic trade was that? He snarls in rage. Losing an eye for his deck, of all things? All the same... it was his host's eye that was lost. Not his, though it might as well have been.

His free hand clenches his deck in fury... and something delightfully unexpected happens. At the very top of Yami Bakura's deck is a powerful monster (and a particular favorite of his, at that). The Millennium Ring glows with bright energy, and when next Bakura looks up, he can see that his monster now stands before him in physical form. Ready and willing to serve.

C - ACTION - Around Town

So here's another question for you, Mayfield. Are you hallucinating the various monsters you see before you in addition to your greatest fears? Or is there a chance that your worst nightmares may have come to life?

Whatever the answer, it doesn't change the fact that Dark Necrofear is slicing through drones left and right with her obsidian blade. And accompanying it? The sound of horrible, blood-curdling laughter.

Welcome to Mayfield, indeed.]

[While the Doctor has collected some of the mushrooms for the sake of science, he isn't curious enough to consume them himself. He's interested in finding a test subject, willing or not, later on, but that's irrelevant. Just as he's making his rounds collecting mushroom samples, the Doctor, hovering in the air, notices Dark Necrofear slicing through drones. The laughter doesn't slip past his notice.

The Doctor descends and looks at the scene with interest.]

Now that can't be much of a challenge for you. Those drones aren't even resisting.

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

A challenge? Hardly.

But it is fun.

[doctor-tyrant.livejournal.com]

That's all that ought to matter! But then, I always felt that challenge and fun go hand in hand. Here.

[Drones are the mindless puppets of the town. Wherever there is an the absence of rationality, the good Doctor always has advantage in numbers. With but a thought, the helpless drones that went unchallenged by Dark Necrofear turned more aggressive.

One drone used his own body to defend against the blades while another drone used a tree branch to strike at her sides. Other drones began to approach the obvious master of the monster.]

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

[Bakura's remaining eye goes a bit wide at the sight. Not only can the man levitate, but he can manipulate others into doing his will? He takes a step or two backwards as the drones begin to approach.

No matter. Yami Bakura's still got plenty of tricks up his sleeve. Some sort of strange glyph appears on the ground before him, only for a dark creature (http://images.wikia.com/yugioh/images/c/c3/MorphingJarGLD4-EN-GUR-LE.png) to shoot from it in an almost cylindrical form, sending Bakura's attackers flying into the air.]

What in the world did you just do, Bakura?

[Grimsley's voice has lost its edge of languid arrogance as he stares at the blood dripping down the boy's face.]

Trading your eye for your card games?

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

G-Grimsley? [The voice that pops out of him is that of his weak little host, Ryo. Good thing the tombrobber can mimic his host perfectly. Right?]

I---I wasn't expecting them to take it. It hurts...

[tenebrousking.livejournal.com]

You really are a fool.

[The insult is spoken without malice as Grimsley offers Bakura an arm.]

Come now. Go back in and trade back. However much you like your games, this isn't the way to go.

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

N-no...! [Bakura shakes his head.] I can't! Wh-what if they take something else instead...?

[natural-set.livejournal.com]

[No.

This is senseless, even if they're just drones. N hasn't touched any of the mushrooms, but he's starting to suspect that they might give off spores. That laugh... it sounds familiar.

He leaves strict orders with his Pokémon to stay behind a group of bushes and approaches on his own, searching for the source of the laughter by himself.]

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

[Guess who's quick to bump into you, N? Your best buddy, Ryo. Or so you may think...]

N! A-are you all right?

[natural-set.livejournal.com]

[The sudden jolt makes N jump, but he calms down a bit when he sees who it is.]

Ryo? I--

[And then he sees the blood on his face. Without much of any regard for personal space, N puts a hand in Ryo's hair to move it out of the way and get a better look.]

What happened to you? Was it that thing killing people?

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

[A light, frantic shake of the head.]

I... I was just on my way back from the post office. I wanted to reclaim my cards and they---they took...! [His eye, which N will be able to gather as soon as he parts the boy's bloody hair.] And all of a sudden, that thing just...!

[Lex was merely gathering supplies for his car and to remove Annie's vandalism at the Hardware store when lo and behold a giant monster is slaughtering people. Great. This is why Lex never leaves home unarmed anymore...

He'll attempt to sidestep the creature and track the source of the laughter.]

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

[Not even giant, really---she's maybe only a head or so taller than your average adult male. But guess what, Lex? She's set her sights on you now. And amidst the chaos, you'll hear a coarse voice addressing you.]

Trying to run, are we?

[greatestmanll40.livejournal.com]

[Lex will turn to the source of the noise, eyes darting between the monster and the white haired boy with a most eerily sinister look in his eyes. One hand still holding his supplies, the other in his jacket pocket where his plasma gauntlet is held.]

No. Merely investigating.

I suppose you're the one in control of this... thing.

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

How very astute.

C - Around Town

[photonicfighter]

[Dakki is well and completely out of her gourd already, and her version of Mayfield is already infested with monsters. That Dark Necrofear is not slicing through drones, no no. It's slicing through colleagues, co-workers, teammates, random fools that were assigned to the same hopeless Ruins-clearing mission that she had been.

She had to stop it. This time, she had to stop it.]

EEEEEAAAAAAHHH!!!

[She charges in at it, screaming at the top of her lungs and brandishing her glowing-green photon saber, slashing wildly.]

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

[Dark Necrofear parries Dakki's strike, attempting to keep them in a temporary stalemate as Yami Bakura takes notice. This is new. Someone actually trying to fight his monster back. He's hardly concerned, though, laughing ominously.]

You must understand that it's useless to resist.

[photonicfighter]

[A parry does not dissuade Dakki in the least. She lets the energy of the parry bring her arm back, and she swings it again in an upwards swipe. She's shouting even louder this time.]

LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!

[Although her blade is already glowing with green light, there's a sudden flash of white energy. The blade will be quite blade-like and cutting if it makes impact, but it will be immediately followed by a burst of kinetic force intended to knock it off its feet.

She casts a look back at the source of the voice, and her eyes are wide and fearful.]

Run! Run while you still can!

[That's not a threat. That's a panicked plea for him to save himself. Her reality and actual reality are not currently in step.]

[Hey just walking down the street.

Totally cool.]

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

[Guess who's suddenly in your personal space.]

I need directions, old man.

[uranophobe.livejournal.com]

You clearly don't need them that badly. [HUFF continuing his walking]

B; yeah we're makin this happen

[asclepiansword.livejournal.com]

[What the actual fuck--it looks like a blue crossdressing Mantis.]

[Which is a concept Liquid could have gone the rest of his admittedly short life without imagining. Thanks, Bakura.]

And what, pray tell, is this new monstrosity loosed upon the world at large?

(YEA)

[worstdmever.livejournal.com]

[Not frightened, Liquid? He'll give you reason to be. For now Dark Necrofear is standing up straight, drawing her blade and staring intently at you.]

This? Is Dark Necrofear. A fiend that serves as but one of the most powerful forces in my arsenal.

[asclepiansword.livejournal.com]

[Fear is for wusses and your crossdressing blue Mantis is probably the least frightening thing to ever grace the earth as far as Liquid's concerned.]

....Then your arsenal could use some work.
