Okay, time for a more organized, better entry. The last one was a bit rushed--and I was excited as heck, so that added to the messiness. But now, I'm all settled in, and I can give you the Cyberu news.

First up is the new Bakura body. I decided to put Ryou in it instead of Yami. Yami said that he liked his old one, and that, "It took me long enough to get warmed up to this one. Imagine how annoying it would be to just move into a new one." I had to admit, I liked him in the old body better anyway.

So, generous Ryou suggested, "Why don't I just get into the new one? I haven't grown attached to the old body anyway." And that ended the discussion. Both boys are free as well as Roya, which means that there will be no more torture nights, no more, "I'm going to go stab Ryou/Royas," and certainly no more, "This is Yami. You're a bad actor."

Now, onto some more compelling updates

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#1: SYPHANE

As you know, Malik has an older counterpart who is--well--a jerk. He's rude, tortures his hikari, and just so happens to be very smooth... all the "Yami-ish" features. But, we never knew about his torturous past. It turns out that he used to live in Kul Elna as well as Yami, but he moved away before the pharaoh executed his plans. In the middle of nowhere, it was hard to find anyone who would help him with his problem...

Abusive parents. He explained that they were horrible to him, and that he made his life unbearable. "So," he told us, "I destroyed them." He paused. "But that didn't end the pain. For some reason, every day after that was full of agony, and even after I died, it never truly went away." I was a bit amazed by his story.

But that's only the first half. The second half envolves me going a little further back--about five days...

STORY EXPLANATION:

Five days before all of this "Talk of Malik" started, a young man named Olurora visited us. He talked with us briefly, but left us alone minutes after he arrived. (That was a bit depressing. Keyki and I wanted to get to know him a little more.) Luckily, our wish was granted a day later.

Olurora said hello again--but stayed this time. He was a lovely being... with flowing white hair and delicate limbs. The only thing that made his first-impression a bit awkward was that he was naked. But he explained to us that he was an elemental spirit called  Rei-Angel (sound familiar?) and that he didn't even know what clothes were, so everyone forgave him.

Once our new friend was settled in, he gave us a little explanation of why he was here. "Sixty-five-million years ago, the elemental spirits clashed, and caused the deaths of many life forms," he said. "We didn't want this fate to befall any of you humans, so Murami, the earth elemental and I sealed all six of us in stones. We never expected to be freed. But since I'm here, more will probably follow, and many of us aren't as friendly as I am."

STORY EXPLANATION: ENDING

Now, on to the second half of our story. After Olurora, Syphane, the dark Rei-angel came here, and settled down in Yami's body. We then found out that he was the one who caused Malik's horrid past experiences, and that he made Yami, Ryou, ProtoMan, Haaiku, and many others go through the tortures that often caused Cyberu crisises.

Normally, I would really love this kind of wicked maniac, but since he hurt Yami, I wasn't exactly on his team. Still, I had to admit, he WAS smooth. Anyway, he scared the wits out of "Ikasu" Malik, and threatened to "get" him, whatever that meant. "After I rip Rakikai apart, that is," he added.

I got mad. How dare he threaten to hurt my coolie! But, no matter how angry I got, he didn't care. After toying with Malik's sanity for a little longer, Syphane crawled back into his rightful place--the shadows. (He is the shadows, so he can become part of the dark at night. Olurora can become part of the light. Get it?)

Then, Malik and Yami argued about who was stronger, who went through more torture in their life etc., and after that, we finally got to bed. That was an action-packed night, that's for sure!!!

#2: YAMI AND LITTLE MALIK'S "ACCIDENT"

Okay, last night started out like normal. Yami was just talking with Malik (the little one), and having a bit of a good time. Then, somehow we got on the subject of Malik's birthday. (June 30. Malik is five now!)

Malik said that, "Nobody celebrated my birthday. I didn't even get to open my presents..." Then, Yami explained that he got Malik a gift, and that he made a wish for him, just like Malik did a while ago.

Everybody had to leave so Yami could tell Keyki what it was. (You know... Keyki and I are the ones who make these wishes actually come true, so each Cyberu has to tell us what they wished for.) But Ikasu Malik was spying on Yami, so my coolie got mad, and threatened to, "Kill you, Malik!"

And that led to the big Malik hurting the little one... and his leg ended up falling off... Yes, it was scary. Yami--once again--went crazy, and gave himself equal torture before running to the hospital.

The rest of the night was spent watching ProtoMan and Ikasu hang out. Then, we went to sleep.

That's about everything. I have to go now. Keyki wants to play.
