The Fight Concludes Part 4

"Get the green rupee!" Yugi exclaimed to Lizzy, who was playing one of her favorite Zelda games on the Wii. "Get it before you pass it on the river!" The group was having another game night but this time it was in Lizzy's apartment.

"You know how difficult it is to do that on a Wii remote?!" Lizzy yelled bluntly. "It's really, really hard!"

"Why didn't you use the GameCube controller?" Joey asked as he got a few more chips from a bag and ate it. "I heard it would be a lot easier with that controller."

"My GameCube controller is being borrowed right now," Lizzy replied, glancing at Jaden for a split second.

"I lost mine when we moved to the complex," Jaden said sheepishly.

"That was a few years ago," Yusei mentioned, raising his eyebrow. "Are you going to get another controller for yourself, Jay?"

"...When I get money..."

"Then get a job, dude!" Joey said while patting Jaden, who was sitting on the couch, on the back. "Then you can get enough money to buy a GameCube controller."

"Yeah, you're right," Jaden spoke with a sigh. "But I just don't feel like getting a job!"

"I'm pretty sure we were all there in Jaden's position at one point in time, right?" Lizzy asked her group of friends.

"No," Joey and Yugi said in unison.

"I did at one point but then I realized that I needed the money to pay rent," Yusei explained with a slight shrug.

"So...you're paying the rent to your guys' apartment?" Yugi concluded.

"Yeah, but I don't mind. Besides, Jaden watches the apartment while I'm out working."

"So a housewife scenario but it's just your roommate, right?"

"I am not a housewife!" Jaden declared with his fists in the air.

"He didn't say you were dude," Lizzy mentioned with a laugh. "By the way, can you check my phone again, Jay? I think my brother is still texting me."

"Okay!"

Jaden reaches to the table in front of him and grabbed Lizzy's phone, checking it at the same time.

"Did my brother say anything?" Lizzy asked curiously.

"Yeah," Jaden replied, looking at her. "He says that he's glad that you're having a good time but he also says that you should check the news. I don't know why though."

"Okay! Let me pause the game first and I will check my phone for the news." Lizzy paused the Zelda game and grabbed the phone from Jaden, who happily gave it to her. She scrolled through the news and her eyes widened in horror and shock. "Oh goodness..." she said softly. It was all she could say.

"Everything okay?" Yusei asked, glancing at Lizzy's phone too. Everyone else got curious and looked over her phone as well.

"Are those zombies?!" Joey asked loudly in shock.

"No, they're mummies," Lizzy replied, squinting at the picture that the news article. "The creepy guys are wearing the burial linen when they go into the sarcophagus. That's very bizarre...but why else would my brother ask me to check the news."

"I think I know why," Jaden figured out. He pointed to a name mentioned in the article. "Isn't that your mom?"

"Mama?" Lizzy asked, looking at the name too. Her face turned pale in an instant. "That's Mama Leilei! That IS my mom!"

That's the end of the chapter part and the chapter as a whole! Thanks for reading and look forward to the start of the next chapter tomorrow. See you then! :)
