forward dating for the birthday boy

Summary: The King of Games takes on yet another ancient puzzle.
Rating: D for d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-duelists
Log:
[It wasn't possible to grow unused to underground tunnels, Malik had discovered. In many ways, stepping into yet another cool, dimly-lit chamber felt like slipping back into an old habit, into a different way of life. Something about his surroundings felt oddly comforting.
That feeling of comfort made him chafe all the more.
Walls. He hated walls, and being blocked away from the sunlight. The skin along the back of his neck prickled; the raised marks of his scars grew somehow cold. He should act today, he thought. He should trap Yuugi Mutou in these absurd little chambers, see how he liked it for a change, mere vessel or no. Yes, Malik's Cofagrigus was back in Goldenrod, busily creating his collateral for the deal with Archer (or so he hoped) - but what was Malik Ishtar if not a master of impromptu planning? Couldn't he handle this much? Why, he'd all but been given the perfect stage!
--Yet if it went wrong, then what? He had too much at stake to risk everything now. It was only a small leap from failing to defeat Yuugi to being publicly denounced as a villain and a criminal across that network - an even smaller leap from there to discovering his Rocket involvement. And should that be uncovered, the Game Corner might be outed, too....
No, Malik had to sit, and wait, and plot, until there was no possible way Yuugi Mutou could defeat him. The day would come. He just had to prepare.]
Well, how's the puzzles? Worth the trip?

he'll do his best for master malik
Malik nods and climbs aboard his Pokémon, offering Yuugi a hand.]
We'll make it work. Once yours have recharged, they can sit up front with me.
of course he will, sweet giant block of stampede he is!
[And he likely will, but the thought of Niko having a fit upfront and trying to shock the Rhyhorn and just hit them-
But either way. Here's hoping Malik doesn't ride a Rhyhorn as fast as a bike. Yuugi's iffy enough as it is hanging on to him back there.]
-///-
But probably faster than Yuugi would like: Malik wants out of here.
Rhyhorn hasn't hit anything - yet - but you still might want to hold on tight. And feel sorry for the poor Solrock attempting to keep pace.]
:D
And moreover- the fact Solrock is falling behind means a little Woobat will be making a whiny noise at trailing, too. And try to solve this problem by dropping right down to join the ride. Right in Yuugi's face, and the back of Malik's neck.]
Gft-! Pak-!
