Omega19x: A white wizard Ryou shivered in the shadows, looking up. He... was in the shadow realm!!
ph33r my rod: Malik, in Ra armor, was laying on the ground nearby.
Omega19x: "... Malik? I... Is that you? What happened?"
Omega19x: "Are you all right?"
ph33r my rod: He slowly pushed himself up, shaking off the slight dizziness he felt. "...I think so. We're..." Malik looked around. "...he sent us to the shadow realm."
Omega19x: "... th...this is bad... this is not a good place to be..."
Omega19x: "... Whatever we do... we... we can't let any of the creatures in the shadows get us... They're terrible... They can do terrible things!"
ph33r my rod: "...right. We need to get out of here somehow, but... we don't have our items. Your ring is still out there with your body..."
Omega19x: "... there... there has to be some way out, right? Some kind of... pocket in the shadow realm? Remember how we fought the shadow disease?"
ph33r my rod: "Yeah..."
Omega19x: "... not like we know where that is..." he wrapped his arms around Malik. "... I'm sorry... this is all my fault... I... I should have just let him take the rod... I... I should never have tried to protect you..."
ph33r my rod: Malik blinked for a moment, then sighed and wrapped an arm around Ryou, hugging him close. "I shouldn't have given it to him... it's just as much my fault."
Omega19x: "... I'm sorry..."
Omega19x: "I... I really thought I could protect you..."
ph33r my rod: "...it's okay. You wanted to, and you tried, and... that's what counts."
Omega19x: "... it got us sent to the shadow realm!"
ph33r my rod: "...at least we're together? He was going to kill me after he sent you..."
Omega19x: "... n..no... I... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Omega19x: Ryou hugged Malik tighter.
ph33r my rod: Malik wrapped his other arm around Ryou and hugged him just as tight. "It'll be okay... I told him to bring you back, but of course he didn't listen. So he just... sent me here too."
Omega19x: And before they knew what hit them, chaos spoke. A portal opened up underneath them, and they fell into a different world.
ph33r my rod: *meep*
Omega19x: *eeeeep!*
Omega19x: (... where were we going?)
ph33r my rod: (( Catpeople world, I think. :o ))
Omega19x: (your idea. You take the lead!)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay~ ))
ph33r my rod: They wake up in what seems to be an alley in Domino City. They seem normal, except for... something that they will soon discover.
Omega19x: "... w...where are we?"
ph33r my rod: "We're..." Malik groaned, running a hand through his hair. But his hand ran into something... odd sticking out of his head. "...uhhh."
ph33r my rod: Malik felt around the top of his head, finding out that there were two of the things. "... ... What."
Omega19x: Ryou blinked. "...you... have kitty ears!"
ph33r my rod: Indeed, the things sticking out of his head were very furry. Malik looked over ay Ryou. "... So do you."
Omega19x: Ryou felt his own head. They felt so fluffy.
Omega19x: He looked behind him... and there was a big poofy white tail.
ph33r my rod: Malik sighed, moving to stand up. "...I guess it could be worse." He didn't notice the tail behind him until he lost his balance, falling back over.
Omega19x: "... where are we? The world looks... normal enough?"
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, it does, except... the cat stuff." He looked at his hands, seeing that his fingernails had grown and sharpened into claws. Malik tried to stand again, leaning against the wall until he could balance decently.
Omega19x: Ryou had to do the same. "... I... I wonder if we'll see that pharaoh... the one with the cat ears."
ph33r my rod: Malik slowly moved down the alley until he came into an opening. It looked just like Domino City, save for all of the people out having cat features.
Omega19x: "... this... this is really strange."
ph33r my rod: "No kidding." Malik suddenly squatted down to the ground and raised a leg up to scratch at his head. "... ... We even have those cat-like urges, what."
Omega19x: He peered out from around the corner. There were shops that sold balls of string, a bar advertising catnip vodka, a bus full of kittens...
ph33r my rod: "... This is weird. I guess the shadow realm just felt like spitting us out into cat-world." Malik took Ryou's hand, trying to be mindful of his claws. "It's pretty close to home, but... not quite."
Omega19x: He looked the other way. "hey... doesn't that cat look like Yugi?"
ph33r my rod: Malik squinted, looking over in the direction Ryou was looking. "... Yeah, that hair's recognizable anywhere."
Omega19x: (and we may have to continue tomorrow.)
Omega19x: (I'm getting really sleepy)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay. Go sleeep. ))
