Who: Yugi & You !
Where: In a Maze.
When: Throughout September.
What: Info. under the cut, but basically it's time to traverse a maze!
Warnings: MAYBE. If anything comes up, it'll be noted in the subject.

┌ Yugi will find himself able to tap on his own energy, but every time he attempts it, he and whoever is near him will be drawn into a dark maze, a twisting confusion of passages with constant hints of danger in the shadows and the threat of environmental hazards like spikes, pits, etc. Yugi will never enter this maze alone -- he always has to drag someone in with him, whoever is closest or whoever he talked to last or something similar that forges a connection between him and them. Once they reach the center of the maze, they return to where they came from as if no time had passed. The only wounds that remain are the emotional ones! ┘

[ he had been to the maze a couple of times, but that didn't mean that he enjoyed being drawn there, especially since it meant that he was dragging somebody else along for the ride. he frowned, wondering if that was ever going to stop being the case. was he ever going to be able to summon gandora without having to endanger somebody else? he frowned, picking himself off the floor as kicked aside a few of the gnarled roots that started creeping off the cobblestone walls. ]

Hello? [ he drew his wand, the tip starting to glow until the large bead of light popped off, hovering alongside him to illuminate the narrow corridor. ] Is anybody there? [ he knew somebody had to be there, but it was really just a matter of who. ] It's me, Yugi, and I'm, ah, ...sorry you were dragged into this... [ but hopefully they could work together and safely get out. ]

...ok. Let me start over. [ he takes a deep breath. ] It seems like we're able to get stuff from home now. Like, the researchers have finally made a couple of breakthroughs or something. I asked for an ability to tap into my spiritual energy to summon a duel monster from home, Gandora, my partner. Anytime I try to tape into that energy... I end up in this maze... I, ah, I can summon him, but he's big, too big, so bringing him here wouldn't really do us any good...

Okay, I think I get it.

[Mostly.]

... Have you tried summoning a much smaller monster?

I have... and unfortunately I haven't been able. I could probably use a spell I learned here to make Gandora much smaller, but I'd have to be quick about it.

I bet you could do it! I know you can make it super quick!

Alright... here goes.

[ he's going to tap into his spiritual energy and dimension summon gandora x - the dragon of demolition, but as soon as he does he's going to let his partner know that he's going to be using some magic to make him a more manageable size, because he doesn't want him getting upset that he's going to be shrinking. also, he doesn't want him freaking out. the spell is cast a few seconds later, though a couple of the maze walls to suffer, since gandora is a huge monster, and yugi did want to relay what he was doing first... ]

[ the dragon ends up being the approximate size of a horse, giving a roar, and looking between the two of them. ]

... GIANT GLOWING DRAGON FRIEND!

[WHAT A GREAT DAY THIS IS.]

Hi, Gandora! I'm Webby! Welcome to Diatu Academy!

[ gandora howls and turns toward webby. what's going on? where is he? this isn't a duel field... he leans down to get a better look at her. hello there. ]

Hey Gandora. We're going to need your help getting out of this maze.

Can he breathe fire? Is he immortal? Do you sacrifice pure young maidens to appease his wrath?

[She just keeps shooting off questions-]

He can shoot tens of hundreds of thousands of lasers from all of the orbs on his body. Ah, no, not really, he can be... sent to the graveyard. [ he doesn't necessarily want to say killed. ] But I can definitely say no on that last one. [ he shakes his head, stifling a chuckle, gandora looking between the two. ]

We should, ah, probably get going. [ going to try to start walking. she can still ask questions as they go, though they should probably pay attention to the perils of the maze too... ]

Okay! Let's go!

... Can I ride him?

I'm not sure he wants anybody ri-ah! [ as soon as he starts down the path the path crumbles beneath him and he falls, grabbing hold of a broken ledge a few feet down. ] Urk. [ he grunts, grip slipping as gandora peers over the edge. ] H- help.

Yugi!

[OH NO - she races over, kneels down, and grabs his arm, trying to help him back up.]

I've got you!

[ he feels his fingers start to slip, but thankfully webby is there to grab his arm and gandora doesn't hesitate to grab a hold of her, hoisting her up and lifting them both over his head with ease. guess what, guys and gals, you're both getting carried. ]

Thanks Webby, Gandora.

[ gandora spreads his wings, giving them a cursory flap, before jumping up and clearing the pit, though it seems the maze doesn't want to make passing the trial easy and several arrows shoot out from the sides of the cavern. ]

Gandora, watch out!

[HOLY CANNOLI, RIDING A GLOWY DRAGON! THIS IS AN AWESOME DAY INDEED! Webby hoots and hollers, holding her arms out like she's on a roller coaster ride.]

Wheeeee! We need to get stuck in mazes more often!

... OH RIGHT ARROWS BAD! DUCK!

[ he can't help but to laugh at that. ] I think I'm going to eventually be able to summon Gandora out of the maze, so I don't think we need to get stuck in here anymore. I'm not sure I appreciate getting shot at. [ he brings his hands up and over his head as gandora tries to avoid the arrows, but he's a bit too big to do so. ]

[ when he gets struck yugi cries out, since the two of them are connected through their summoning link. his breath quickens and he pulls out his wand, trying to cast a protective shield around them as they hurry down the corridor. ]

[The cry definitely catches Webby's attention, and she looks at Yugi, confused and worried.]

Wait, what just happened? Did you get hit too?
