Since I’m not letting this DW au fall flat nor am I letting my sudden urge to make ygo content vanish from lack of producing content, here’s a drabble!

Summery: Yugi just wants to leave work for the evening, but a quick chore is delaying that.

Only, he wished that was what it was, not these scary plastic people! At least a guy in a leather jacket is there to help him, right?

Right?

Warning: spoilers for those who having not seen the first episode of the new Doctor Who series, Rose. Yami Yugi from season zero/early manga is meant to be the Ninth Doctor, tho with shorter hair without the red tips, he has to look a bit different from Yugi, but he still keeps some of the leather haha. 

On with the fic!

Yugi couldn’t find the electrician anywhere, making this task practically pointless!

He should have just left the money bag somewhere the man would be able to find it with ease so Yugi’d get home. It’s been a long shift, and he had spent the day out and about, including a lunch date with Joey! He deserved to go home and relax at the estates with his mom.

The young man paused, having heard something in the empty maintenance hallway. At least... he hoped it was empty. 

There was a sudden bang on a door nearby and Yugi jumped, realizing that was his exit door out of here! He rushed past some mannequins to get to the door, trying to open them, but to no luck. The doors were locked! There was a sound behind him, and Yugi turned, trying to see who or what made it.

“Is there someone knocking about?” He called out, only seeing the mannequins. Carefully, he stepped down the hall, looking around. “Who is it?” He asked, never noticing that he was being watched.

Until he turned around at the sound of a strange creaking.

Staring in confusion, Yugi watched as a mannequin started to slowly lean forward, then stepped out into the hall in front of the boy. Behind the plastic thing, Yugi watched with wide eyes as other display models started to do the same as the first, moving towards him with awkward steps.

“Uh... y-you got me, very funny.” He said to the figure, this had to be a joke, right? Plastic models can’t just come to life. “I’ve got the joke! Who’s idea is this? Is it Derek’s? Is it?”

Yugi was beginning to panic, backing away as the mannequins continued to step closer and closer.

“Derek, is this you?” Yugi asked, turning around to find another plastic model moving behind him. He gasped, moving away, but they just kept growing in numbers, were all of them alive!? This had to be a prank, it just had to be!

He moved away, trying to find an exit, only to be backed up and suddenly surrounded! The mannequins lifted their arms, readying to strike, and Yugi shut his eyes, fearing what comes next.

Until a hand, a warm, flesh-and-blood hand, grabbed his own.

Turning, Yugi stared at the man to his left, dressed in leather with black and blond hair.

“Run.” He said, and Yugi was yanked, moving out of the way of the attack, that sliced right through a steam pipe!

The stranger pulled Yugi along, through a pair of doors, away from the plastic models. However, they seemed to have picked up speed and were keeping a close distance behind the pair as they ran down another hallway.

They continued to run through doors and halls, avoiding more of the strange figures, until the stranger found the service elevator. The doors opened quickly and Yugi was pushed inside, the stranger following quickly just as a fake arm shoved itself through the closing doors.

The man in the leather jacket struggled with the arm as it tried to grab at him, until it came off with a nearly-comical pop! The doors shut and they were left alone.

“You pulled his arm off.” Yugi spoke, blinking.

“Yep.” Said the other man, tossing the arm at Yugi, who just barely caught it. “Plastic.”

“Very clever, nice trick.” Yugi huffed, looking at the man suspiciously. “Who were they then, students? This a student thing or what?”

“Who could they be students?”

“I don’t know.”

The man in leather raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms. “Well, you said it, why students.”

Yugi frowned, giving a shrug as he still held that stupid arm in his hands. “Cause... to get that many people dressed up and being silly, they gotta be students.”

He turned, smiling, giving a nod. “That makes sense. Well done.”

“Thanks.”

“They’re not students.”

The younger of the two rolled his eyes. “Well, whoever they are, when Wilson finds them, he’s gonna call the police.”

The man looked a little confused. “Who’s Wilson?”

“Chief electrician.”

“Wilson’s dead.” Came the reply just as the elevator doors opened and the man stepped out, leaving Yugi stunned at how casual that was just said. 

He snapped out of it quickly. “That’s not funny, that’s sick!” 

Yugi was suddenly stopped by the stranger, telling him to mind his eyes as he turned around and focused a strange looking pen at the elevator buttons on the wall. It made a curious sound, glowing a bright blue, before the buttons popped and sparked brightly.

The man moved away, Yugi left stunned and annoyed this time. “Well, who are you then!?” He demanded. “Who’s that locked down there!? I said, who are they!?” He called out as he chased after the retreating weirdo.

“They’re made of plastic.” The other man replied as they continued onward. “Living plastic creatures that are being controlled by a relay device on the roof! Which would be a great big problem if I didn’t have...”

He came to a stop in front of a set of doors, suddenly wiping out a strange device that was beeping, a bomb. “This!” He said, sounding a bit prideful about it.

“So!” He turned to go up a small flight of steps to get to the doors. “I’m gonna go upstairs, and blow it up! And I might will die in the process, but don’t worry about me. No, you go on, go have your lovely beans on toast!” He pushed Yugi through the doors as he spoke.

“Don’t tell anyone about this,” He continued, “cause if you do, you’ll get them killed.” With that, he shut the door, leaving Yugi confused.

The door suddenly opened up once more, and the stranger leaned out. “I’m the Doctor, by the way. What’s your name?”

Yugi blinked. “Yugi.” 

“Nice to meet you, Yugi!” The stranger, the Doctor, smiled brightly. “Run for your life!” 

He slammed the door shut again, leaving Yugi to his own devices. Which was pretty much to do exactly as the Doctor said, run! 

He had been lead outside and he made a break for it, getting away from the building as quickly as he could. Once he was a distance away, he walked carefully, making sure that those plastic things weren’t following him. He crossed the street, away from his work place, turning around just in time to see the roof of the building explode! 

People were panicking, running away, screaming from the explosion, and Yugi made a move to get back to his home before anything else crazy happened.

All the while, he still carried the plastic arm with him.

I might do a second part, where the Doctor shows up at the Powell Estate where Yugi lives. Yes, I know I probably should set this in Japan, but honestly? Putting this in England like the original show is a lot more fun, haha. And also, Doctor Who is very British, so it’s hard to just change up a lot of elements because nearly every episode centered on Earth is in the UK.

Also, I had to copy this scene from a youtube video with no subtitles so I might have gotten some of the dialogue wrong. 

And yes, this is tagged puzzleshipping because if any of you know the ship ninerose (or even tenrose), you know why.

Thanks for reading! I’m open to drabble suggestions for this au! :D
