A Carnival in Darkness: Part 44

As That Man saw all of the food brought out for him and all the other great people who helped with all of these preparations as well as making this palace to beautiful and awesome to look at. Welcoming everyone to enjoy the food with him as he wanted to make the people who did all of this for him feel as welcome as could be.

Raven was cowering behind Sailor Pluto and hoping she was going to safe him from all of these crazed senshi who wanted him as a Vega slave. "Please...Please don't let them take me awa-...A DRESS!? WHAT!?" He started to scream when he heard Sailor Saturn.

Looking to Sephiroth and the hamsters, eyes widening for a moment as he was fearful of the hamsters for what they had done to him in the past. But he couldn't save himself at all from what soon enough happened to him. Having been snapped up by the leash and basically had the collar around his neck.

"Oh god! I'm DOOMED!"

********************

Vega also sent over the finest sangria to That Man's celebration party from Spain by courier so that everyone can enjoy the party in style.

Keith notices that Seto was at That Man's palace and challenges him to a duel. The duel can be entertainment for That Man to watch as they all ate. "Hey, Kaiba. Do you have the guts to take on me in a duel? I watched Yugi make you a laughing stock and realized how pathetic you are."

James was happy to see everyone eating and enjoying his cooking. "Don't worry I'll watch the duel and I think that it should be fair that Seto Kaiba doesn't use his Obelisk the Tormentor card because that would be cheating."

********************

Sailor Moon starts picking out a cute dress for Raven to wear. One that was silky, pink, glittery and very pretty. "Hurry, pull Raven over to us. This dress is perfect on him."

Sailor Mars pulls as hard as she could to help Venus and the other senshis pull Raven closer. "I think the dress with the polka dots will look better on our Vega slave and I'll teach Raven how to walk and talk properly."

Sailor Venus had a different dress in mind for Raven. "I think Raven should be in a dress with hearts."

Sailor Saturn helps with the pulling too but worries that the senshis might not be able to win Raven because Sailor Pluto and her hamsters were here. "Hurry we are outnumbered and we senshis worked so hard saving the world we deserve Raven as our Vega. I want to be the first to braid his hair again."

********************

Sephiroth quickly used his sword to chop off the collar that was on Raven to free him. The rest was up to the hamsters who seemed to have similar plans for Raven from the look in their eyes.

That Man remained where he stood at this time and watched what was going on between Seto Kaiba and Bandit Keith, not knowing if they were infact going to duel or not. But it seemed to him that it was probably going to end up happening. Seeing as they were both duelists and he had read they were both very prideful men.

Looking around at everyone else in the palace and not knowing if they were going to approve or not of having this as some form of entertainment to be enjoyed with dinner.

Raven dropped to his knees when he felt the collar chopped off by Sephiroth and he could only stare at the one-winged angel. "Thank you!" He said loudly as he was going to jump back to his feet and start to try and run away. Having seen those hamsters and knowing that the look in their eyes was definitely a bad one for him and his future.

********************

Sailor Moon cries as Raven was freed. "Those hamsters are trying to steal our Vega slave!"

Sailor Galaxia saw a senshi get killed by hamsters that looked more vicious than a sea of piranhas. She immediately turns around and runs away. "Retreat now before it was too late."

"Those hamsters are evil demons!" Sailor Saturn couldn't fight off all the hamsters and once she heard Galaxia she quickly retreated too. She ran along with all the other senshis, the could think of a plan to reclaim Raven where it is safe without the hamsters.

Sailor Venus and Sailor Mercury helped to carry Sailor Moon who was crying and soon the senshis all left the area in fear of the hamsters but they vow to one day return to reclaim their Vega slave and put him in a cute dress.

Hamtaro hisses angrily. He bites Raven by the ankles and drags him back to Sailor Pluto. He was ready to bite apart and kill the senshis if they don't leave them alone.

Oxnard helps bring Raven to Sailor Pluto. There was no way Raven could escape from the hamsters and he looks at Sailor Pluto with a begging look. "Can we keep him?"

********************

Keith was getting impatient not hearing an answer from Seto Kaiba, he believed that it must have been old age that is causing him to be hard of hearing. "Hey, you! Did you hear what I just said? I'm challening you to a duel, Kaiba. Don't you dare walk away from me."

"I have much better things to do than duel. I'm leaving here." Seto refuses the duel from Keith and instead walks away. He could hear Keith saying rude and aggresive remarks at him but instead of giving in to duel, he just flashes two middle fingers and continues walking out of the Golden Palace.

Dan watches Seto back off from a fight so he volunteers to take his place. "YAHOOIIEEE. I'll duel you in Kaiba's place but I have to let you know I don't have he slightest clue on how to play this card game."

Ken cracks his knuckles and shouts at the duelists. "Hey! Remember this is a celebration party so don't get carried away. No fighting in the presence of the great hero it is disrespectful."

********************

Sephiroth stands there watching not knowing if Sailor Pluto would take Raven back home to That Man or spoil the hamsters and give them the frightened Raven. Sephiroth also hoped that he would not be sent back in to the dungeon again, the library was fine just not the dungeon. As he looked carefully he noticed that some of the hamsters were even holding tomatoes that Raven must have been noticing as well.

Oxnard holds high his tomatoe and would throw it at Raven if he does not cooperate. All the hamsters continue watching Sailor Pluto waiting to hear her decision on what to do with Raven.

********************

Raven was so afraid of these hamsters and just watched the tomato that was held up at him. Oh how he hated those blasted red fruits these days.

"Please...I can't sing very well, wouldn't you prefer the normal Axl Low to sing for you?"

That Man was closely watching the people around him as he saw some had gotten a little bit rowdy over the duel refusal from Seto Kaiba. Walking over to Dan once he accepted the duel request and Keith accepted him as an opponent.

"Here, use these." That Man would say as he held out a deck of cards he made magically appear for Dan to use in the duel. Not the best deck but one built to be capable of winning atleast.

********************

Sailor Moon holds out many dresses that she found in her closet. "Let's all go back to the carnival. Just in case Raven shows up and if he is all alone we'll snatch him back. I've got the dress ready for him to wear."
