The End?
Author: The unique ending of this story is not a mistake, no matter how weird it may appear to be. So before everyone starts flaming me asking "This doesn't make any sense" or "What are they doing in this show?". Just remember, there's a question mark in place for a reason.
----------
The rushing cool air of the winds chilled up the backsides of Yami as he violently struggled with Plague. The duelist's blue suit flayed under the sharp, rising winds as he fell faster, and faster to the ground. The world seemed to past by Yami's dark, magenta shaded eyes as quickly as a raindrop in a storm. Everything and everyone seemed to be vanishing into thin lined blurs before Yami and Plague's eyes, as they continued to fight.
Plague snapped his vicious fangs at the pale cheeks of the brilliant duel master with little hesitation.
"Fool, you really think this fall will kill me?" Plague laughed.
"Even if it doesn't, it's certainly going to put a cramp on any future body swapping you plan to do" Yami said.
Yami locked his fists around the black, talon claws of the hideous insect as they continued to fall. Now Plague was locked in a back breaking bear hug. Yami swore he would never let go, he would make sure the creature continued to struggle and squirm until he had only one option left.
"A wasted ambition then you walking porcupine. I'll be taking your body now, and I'll be more then happy to give it back to you AFTER you break my fall" Plague said.
The black insect snatched his slobbering, pronged talon fangs around Yami's forehead. Plague's mandible arms and claws stretched out as he planned to shrink and slurp his twisted body inside Yugi's body.
BZZT!
A flash of golden light flashed around Yami's face, Plague screamed as he was repelled. Some kind of strange energy force was preventing Plague from entering Yami. Yami smirked coldly as Plague latched onto his face again, only to be blasted off once more. The ground was getting closer very quickly and a look of panicking fear stretched over Plague's repulsive features.
"NO! I don't understand it, why can't I enter your body? Why? I've never had a problem doing it before. Why should now be any different? TELL ME" Plague demanded.
The golden light surging around Yami suddenly split into a fractured, double image of two young boys. The Egyptian light surged across the single, blue suited body like a fire engulfing every limb, inch, and area. Plague's blood red eyes shone magnificently with the sunlight beam blinding his wincing pupils. Plague saw the faint, faded image of a younger boy, one who looked like a slimmer, younger version of Yami. The other boy was Yami himself.
The golden pyramid necklace dangling from Yami's neck was sparking wild with radiant electrical energy and golden light. A pair of dagger piercing, magenta eyes form both Yugi and Yami glared into the fearful soul of the black bug monster. Plague fanged lips gasped in light of a terrible discovery.
"You cannot infect us because there is already a second soul inside this body Plague. We are Yugi and Yami, twin souls inhabiting the same body through the mystical powers of the Millennium puzzle. It looks like you can only inhabit people with one spirit in their body, and I'm sorry to say this motel is fresh out of vacancies" Yami and Yugi said.
"No, no, no, no! This is impossible. You tricked me, you planned this all along and knew I couldn't enter your body" Plague said.
"This may not be an official duel monsters match Plague, but it looks like you still ended up the loser" Yami chuckled.
A shrieking scream echoed from Plague's lips as the insect had learned that he had been defeated, and that he was now plummeting to his death with his hated enemy. Yami grunted as a sharp pain suddenly struck the damp, sweat stained flesh of his arm pits.
"Ugh, I got you Yug, just hang on a second" Joey grunted.
"Bring him up, I'll get his knees" Tristan said.
Joey and Tristan had traveled down to a lower level of Kaibacorp and waited outside an open window. The two boys then waited for Yugi to fall and stretched their arms out, hoping to catch him before they were too late. Yugi and Yami's bulging eyes watched as Plague continued to fall and scream. A slew of constriction vehicles, digging machines, and other powerful pieces of metal lay at the bottom level of Kaibacorp. Yugi and Yami looked away.
CRANK!
Plague sliced into a metallic shell, a cement truck to be exact, swirling and churning liquid concrete in its gray spinning shell. Dozens of construction workers gasped and screamed as they saw Plague fall into the cement mixer.
"Uh hey buddy, you okay?" a curious worker asked.
The black bug screamed from the bubbling pool of liquid cement, the workers hollered in horror as they quickly moved away. Plague grunted and coughed as globs of thick wet cement slime dripped from his wheezing jaws. The monstrous insect climbed out of the truck with wobbly legs and sluggish muscles. Plague collapsed to the ground and simply coughed up more gray goop.
"M-m-m-m-must esca-p-p-p-pe" Plague said.
The beetle continued to gag and crawl with the thick, hardening coat of cement stiffening his body. The sun roasted the gray slime and accelerated the hardening process faster then usual. Joey, Tristan, Kaiba, and Yami exited Kaibacorp's entrance doors and gasped at what they saw.
"Well, well, well, would you look at that" Yami said.
Plague had been completely frozen still, encased forever in a shell of solid cement and concrete.
Hours later……
"Oh man……uh yes sir, I'll get you that cheese burger right away" Tea moaned.
"Hey guys, she's finally coming to" Joey said.
The lovely, sweet smiling rosy cheeks of the sleepy Tea slowly stirred to life as her sparkling cerulean eyes opened up completely. Tea awoke to see Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Professor Hawkins, and Dr. Greer standing above her.
"Hey Tea welcome back" Yugi happily exclaimed.
"Yugi? Guys? I'm awake. You did it you guys, you did it" Tea shouted.
The girl quickly wrapped her arms around her friends in a tight embrace, Tea's yellow sweater arms locking around Yugi's head.
"I knew you guys would bring me back, I never doubted any of you for a second" Tea said.
Yugi smiled and bashfully stared down at his black coal sneakers, lightly shuffling as he was overwhelmed by Tea's enthusiastic appreciation. Joey spotted Yugi's shy nature and chuckled as he lightly elbowed him.
"Awe it was nothing Tea, you should be thanking Yug here. He was the little genius that figured how to beat old bug breath and save you from the whole sleeping beauty routine" Joey said.
"Naw, not really, I was just lucky I guess. No biggie" Yugi said nervously.
Tea smiled as she noticed Yugi's bashful pale cheeks blossoming into a rosy red color. Leaning down and letting her hazelnut brown hair swiftly brush up against Yugi's purple locks, Tea smiled and kissed Yugi's red cheeks.
"Wrong, it's a big biggie" Tea said.
Yugi just blushed brighter and almost passed out from the overwhelming warmth that began filling up his small face. Heartwarming laughter erupted from Yugi's circle of friends; Yugi just sighed and concealed his blushing face behind his stormy locks of purple and golden hair. Greer and Hawkins also laughed as they approached the group of young teens.
"Marvelous work Yugi, you should be very proud of yourself. Thanks to you and your friends we now have a vaccine capable of curing all of Plague's victims and returning them to normal" Greer said.
"But how?" Tea curiously asked.
Hawkins held up a small, black and gray spike. The spike was twisted and mixed between soggy gray and pitch black. On the bottom of the twisted spike were small, withered gray nerve endings that have been severed.
"This sharp tonsil or spore if you will is the source of Plague's body snatching. We severed it from his jugular and discovered it secretes a powerful toxin, one strong enough to paralyze a victim's nervous system from the inside out. This temporary paralysis allows Plague to slip inside the victim's body, and adapt into it's genetic structure" Hawkins said.
"By removing it and dissolving the concrete, we were able to synthesize an antidote. We'll start administering it to other victims and soon they'll all be good as new" Greer said.
"Don't forget to send someone over to Kaibacorp. Mokuba and that reception lady are going to need this stuff too" Yugi said.
"And make sure the cop's slap that Ferris kid behind bars. Just as soon as his sorry ass wakes up. That thief started this whole mess by stealing that card and he deserves whatever's coming to him" Joey said.
The gang slowly diverted their attention to the exiting doors of the hospital; several police officers were hauling away the statue of Plague. The police raised large wood panels against the sides of the bug statue; the panels soon formed a shipping crate. Yugi curiously looked to Professor Hawkins.
"Professor, what's going to happen to Plauge's body now?" Yugi asked.
"I have a scientist friend in America who might be interested in studying him. He lives in Middleton, and I'm shipping it to the Middleton museum for him to pick up. It's too large to be delivered to his house so this was the next best thing" Hawkins said.
One of the officers slapped a sticker on the side of the box next to the red "Danger/Fragile" warning signs on the crate. The sticker read: Middleton.
"Yes I think Doctor James Timothy Possible is just the scientist who would find this statue interesting" Hawkins said proudly.
----------
Late at the Middleton Museum……
The large crate remained still as stone inside the dark, towering halls of shadows of the Middleton museum. Two shadowy figures lurked in silence inside the museum's shipping department.
"This is it, this is exactly what I've been waiting for" the male shadow said.
"Oh come on, can't you put this petty squabble to rest? Hijacking some box because it has HIS name on it is pretty pathetic, even for you" the female shadow said.
"Zip it. I know there's something valuable in here, I'd stake my criminal career on it" the male shadow said.
"What criminal career?" the female shadow said, mockingly.
The male growled and slapped his face as he ordered his female friend to approach the crate. The two burglars ripped off the crate and stared inside, both of them stepped back. The female gasped in obvious disgust.
"What the hell is that, the world's ugliest paperweight?" the female said.
"Whatever it is, it's my ticket to defeating my arch nemesis once and for all" the male said.
"Ugh, you have got to be kidding. That statue is useless Dr. Drakken" the female snapped.
"Silence Shego, I know there's something special about this statue and when I find out what it is. Ha, ha, you'd better watch out KIM POSSIBLE".
