 CHAPTER 23 – Prince vs. Champion – Party 1, Part 4

The duel had started, and little did anyone at the party 100 meters below the earth’s surface know, somebody’s life was in danger.  In fact, the party was going on just like any normal college party does…especially if it doesn’t get busted by the cops.  Regardless, there were certain natives at the party that were restless, and something seemed to be afoot to them.

Kakarott, where the hell are you?  Vegeta had been looking for a while, but he couldn’t seem to find him anywhere.  The drinking games were going to be starting soon, and he knew for sure that he could beat Goku at those because Goku had never had a drop of liquor in his entire life.  Unfortunately for Vegeta, he had found just about everyone else that he wasn’t looking for.  Maybe that clown stepped out for some fresh air?

As Vegeta was walking, and not really looking in the direction that his legs were taking him, he was suddenly stopped.  “Hey, aren’t you that guy who got beat out for the football scholarship by the NCU QB, so you chickened out and changed to track?”

Vegeta suddenly looked straight forward to see a tall, rather built guy with brown hair in a bowl-cut that was rather well dressed.  He wore a Domino University Football jersey.  Vegeta saw his sparkling blue eyes glisten as he waited in anticipation, as if it meant that Vegeta would be accepting a challenge.

“It’s not considered cowardice to expand one’s horizons, now is it?  And who are you to be telling me, one of the hosts of this party, that I’m a coward?”  Vegeta retorted, “That’s right, punk, you better show me a little respect, or else I’ll be kicking you out…and then kicking your ass.”

Soon a crowd began to gather, as some of the party-goes had heard the comments.  Vegeta and the challenger stared at each other.  Eventually, it was the latter who spoke up first.

“If you need to know, the name’s Seto Kaiba, and I don’t need your permission to do anything, Vegeta.”  Kaiba smirked, folded his arms, and waited for his response.

“How the hell did a low life like you know my name?” Vegeta interrogated.

“Well, I like to keep up on the news.  It helps me keep up my list of losers,” Kaiba chortled, “and I think that you’re pretty high on the list.”

“Oh, really....  Don’t I recall that you lost the position of Quarterback to Yugi Mutou?”

“The truth is, all that’s important is winning.  I lost to Yugi once.  I won’t lose again.  But you, I think that I’ll beat you now.”  Kaiba stepped closer to Vegeta, and looked down at him into the eye.  “I challenge you to a duel, Vegeta.  Outside.  Right-now.”

“You dare to challenge me?” Vegeta chuckled, “you don’t stand a chance.”

“Well, then, ladies and gentlemen,” Kaiba turned and said to the crowd, “I believe that we have a duel.”

The people that were standing around Kaiba and Vegeta began to murmur, and then one of them spoke up.  “Whoever wants to watch these two dudes duel, follow them outside.”  He paused, and then said “And whoever wants to drink more beer, stay the fu** here!”

The crowd cheered, and Vegeta and Kaiba made their exit at that.  Vegeta wondered why there were only a few people following them.  Drunks usually like to see a good fight.  What’s wrong with this?

When they arrived outside, in the back yard, they could not see very much at all since there were dark thunder-clouds outside.  “How appropriate, don’t you think, Vegeta?”

“Yes, very appropriate for your demise,” Vegeta responded as lightning flashed, “I think that the lightning was a nice touch.”

“Alright, then let’s begin.”  Kaiba reached in his pocket, and pulled out something in a leather case.

“NO BRASS KNUCKLES, COWARD!” Vegeta said as he charged forward toward Kaiba, fist in the air.  As he looked up, Kaiba caught a fist to the chin, knocking him back and down.

Kaiba jumped up in the air, spinning as he did so, landing a kick on Vegeta’s chest.  Vegeta was knocked back, but he didn’t fall down.  “What the hell did you do that for, Vegeta?”

“You said that this was a duel.  What does the matter…need to go home and cry to your mommy?”

“No,” Kaiba paused and opened his leather pouch, “but when I said that we were dueling, I meant that we were going to duel with Magic and Wizards card, you idiot!”  Kaiba then held up the cards for Vegeta to see.

“Well, why in the hell would I want to play that game with you?” Vegeta scratched his head.  Then, something caught his eye.  Far in the distance, he could hear some people shouting.  “Wait a minute.  Listen, do you hear that?”

Kaiba caught the hint and glanced over in the direction that Vegeta was starring at.  Then he turned back to Vegeta.  “So?  What does that have to do with us?”

Just then both of them clearly heard the sound of a yelling female voice.  “Goku, you’ve got to help Yugi.  He can’t possibly win like that!!!!!!!!”

“That was Chi-Chi, that clown Kakarott’s girlfriend,” Vegeta looked at Kaiba.  “I think that we should go over there and see what’s going on.”

“No, you have to finish your business with me first,” Kaiba said, and walked towards Vegeta.

“Fine, you want me to finish with you; then I will,” Vegeta charged Kaiba, jumped up, and kicked him square in the face.  Kaiba went flying, and hit a tree.  He sat there, dazed for a second, and Vegeta ran towards where Goku obviously was located.

“Fine, Vegeta, if a fist fight is what you want…then a fist fight is what you’ll get!”  Kaiba jumped up, and ran after Vegeta.

After running to almost where the bush maze behind the ΒΩΩΜ house, Vegeta arrived where Marik had Chi-Chi held captive and Goku helpless.  Kaiba came soon thereafter, and saw that Yugi was playing competing in some sort game against Marik.  Vegeta noticed that Goku was kept from doing anything in the situation by some sort of laser-ring system.  Marik, apparently, had not noticed the two arrive.

Vegeta, was surprised for a second, but then had an idea.  “Kaiba, you’d better run home and hide under your bed.  This looks a little too scary for kids like you.”  Then Vegeta quickly and quietly ran into the shadows, apparently into the bush maze.

All was relatively quiet, as Kaiba watched Marik in one of his classic speeches to Yugi, who seemed to be obviously drunk.  Not only that, Kaiba could tell that Yugi would pass out soon if he had any more.  Apparently, this was some kind of drinking game.

Just as Marik turned around, someone jumped out of the bushes and punched him in the face, knocking off of the little ledge on which he stood and temporarily stunning him.  “NOBODY THREATENS KAKAROTT OR HIS GIRLFRIEND WHILE I’M AROUND!  Beating him reserved for me alone.”

Marik got up, dusted himself off, and picked up his Millennium Rod.  “Well, well…it seems that we have some a new player in this little game of ours.  Welcome Vegeta, I’ve been waiting for you.  Now the fun will really begin!!!!”  He pointed the Millennium Rod at Vegeta, and soon Vegeta felt a splitting pain in his head.

What’s happening to me?  The pain forced Vegeta’s eyes to close.  But suddenly, the pain stopped, and he could open them.  He felt the presence of someone to his right.  He turned his head, and a large potato shaped person was standing next to him.  “Pud?”

“He was trying to turn you into a mindslave, Vegeta.  I saved you, unfortunately.”

“Humph.  Well you can save your sympathy for the week, I intend on taking this guy out.”  Vegeta began to walk towards Marik.

“Stop Vegeta, one more move, and Chi-Chi gets it,” Marik jerked his thumb to where Chi-Chi was, and Vegeta stopped.

“That’s right Vegeta…I’m in control now…”

Vegeta felt another presence enter his head, but it was friendly…well sort of.  “Wait a sec…don’t say anything stupid.”

Pud?  Vegeta thought, What are you doing?

I’ve got a plan, so pay attention...

(To Be Continued.  Last time.  I promise.)
