[Locked: April, Bakura/Malik] Dominion Trip!
Yugi is sitting in a couch in the Nexus, holding up a hand-written sign reading "April! :)", in a weird sort of homage to the way private drivers guide their customers to them at the airport. Yami's currently nowhere in sight, by virtue of the fact that he's pretty much still asleep, though he's aware that Yugi intended to try to take April to Dominion today. He'll likely wake himself up when April shows up.

Yugi grimaces as well. "I don't see a road anywhere nearby. Looks like it is." He casts a significant glance at Yami, who nods, and vanishes. Moments later, he reappears where Yugi was previously standing, completely solid, the Puzzle flashing with gold light as he does.
"Safer this way," he notes, half to himself. "April, take my hand, please."

It's an appropriate name. There's no discernable geography, and very little ambient light. What light there is consists entirely of dim blues, reds, and violets. Nothing appears to be in the vicinity, but then, in the low light, it can be difficult to tell for most people.
Yami exhales slowly, opening his eyes and quickly surveying their surroundings. "So far, so good," he says. "Come on. Don't let go of my hand." He starts off in what would be a western direction, in the material world.
Then, somewhere, in the distance, an inhuman roar sounds. Yami's eyes widen, and he swears in ancient Egyptian. "We're going to be in trouble if we can't beat whatever that was to the waypoint," he says quietly. "Almost like they can sense me when I turn up..." he adds in a sub-vocal mutter.

The roar made her flinch slightly. "What is it?"
And now I'm going to borrow stuff from Fable III.
And then he steps in something black and slimy. Not that it's easy to tell that it's black in this light. But it's definitely slimy. And it starts crawling up his leg, the rest of the puddle also rising up in thin streams, like viscous, gravity-defying ink. "Ra's beak!" Yami curses, pulling his leg away from the puddle, black stuff still clinging to his trousers.
I think the Shadow Games got some ideas from the Darkness in Fable III, Yugi notes.
Yami snorts briefly in response. Hopefully it doesn't have the same effect as the stuff in the game. Then he staggers, the edges of his vision starting to blur, legs beginning to feel stiff.
((OOC: Alas, it does have the same effect. The goop acts as a paralytic and also steadily drains away sight and some life force.))

Ancient Egyptian says: "Blessed Lord Ra, lend me Your Light". ...I hope.
He closes his eyes again, more gently this time, and whispers, "Netrey-Neb Ra, redi wi Chedjedjewet-Tjen."
The All-Seeing Eye appears on Yami's forehead again, blazing brightly, along with a sword-shaped beam of light in Yami's hand. April gets one of those light-swords too. Ra is apparently feeling quite generous today.
Yami's eyes survey their surroundings, now much more brightly illuminated. There's still no visible geography, but they are surrounded by the black goop, along with several indistinct shapes seemingly made of shadows, with glowing red eyes. There are a variety of different shapes, from humanoid things to monsters that very much resemble dragons or other mythical beasts, and not just those from Egyptian mythology either. The shapes run the gamut of cultures, from Norse to Greek and Roman to Mayan, with, of course the obligatory Egyptian beasties.
Behind all of those shades is a monster that acutally seems kind of thin and gangly. Its head is huge compared to its body. It has six eyes, several spikes protruding from its head, and is quite pale. It has no legs. Unlike the creatures surrounding it, it is quite distinct and visible.
"Oh come on," Yami sighs, exasperated, directing his words to the monster behind the shades. "The Crawler? Really? Can't You be more original?"
"Per-a'a Tepeysa-Yami," the head beast hisses. "We know not what you mean. You are responsible for this."
no subject
Being surrounded by monsters is not a good thing. And when one speaks to Yami, April keep silent. But ready.
no subject
Returning his attention to the Crawler, he asks, a whimsical note in his voice, "Responsible for what, specifically? This ambush? I am fairly certain I had nothing to do with the planning of it."
"You entered here. Trapped Us here," the Crawler answers. "You are responsible."
"And if I'd let You roam free, my country and people would have been destroyed," Yami answers, all trace of humour gone from his voice. "Possibly the rest of the world. You're a cancer, Crawler. Don't think I don't recognize that."
The Crawler chuckles. "We never doubted it for a moment, Per-a'a. It does not change the fact that you broke your ancestor's pact."
no subject
"What is best for your situation?" April was concerned for Yami.
no subject
He attempts to move his leg a little; it's still stiff and tingling, but it's getting better. "I'm not sure how fast I'll be able to run," he adds. "Leg's not fully recovered, and I don't precisely have a very long stride, given my height."
For the moment, he decides to ignore the Crawler's comment about a pact with one of his ancestors, though the thought is quite disturbing. It's hard for him to believe anyone in his family would've made a deal with such a dark force.
no subject
April considers her options. "Perhaps my other powers?"
no subject
"What have you got on hand?" he asks, quietly.

April knew it would cause a situation that would possibly put her in danger, but she had to close her eyes to do this. And slowly she extended her psychic gifts towards the Crawler.
It would sound a little like that old Star Wars joke, but April was basically implanting the information that 'these are not the people that you seek'. Making it seem like Yami and April had disappeared from sight.
no subject
"It worked," he tells April. "Come on, while they're distracted!" He grabs her hand and starts for the tear.
The Crawler lets out a roar of rage as it realizes what's happened. It takes a swipe at Yami, but misses. Then it screams, "Per-a'a! We have already exacted Our revenge on the sorcerer who performed the ritual! But you, who broke Narmer's pact, We will destroy even further than We did your Vizier! We will destroy you, Tepeysa-Yami!"
And on that note, they emerge in Dominion City proper; not in front of the Turtle Game Shop, as Yugi had originally intended, but in front of a rather large and lovely mansion. Yami glances around, eyes wide, then sighs, "Joy. We come out on the Kaiba Grounds." Then there's a flash of gold light from the Puzzle, and Yugi's standing in Yami's place, while Yami appears beside him, transluscent once more.
"That was exciting," Yugi notes, panting. "Let's not do that again. And let's also get going before Kaiba's Yugi-sense starts tingling." They start off towards the street on that note.
no subject
"Does that happen a lot?"

"I think your great-great-great-great-great-grandfather is the least of our problems," Yugi says quietly. "I'm more worried about what it said about Malik..."
