Chapter 2: Kidnapping and the Rescue


"Yugioh!"
"Yugi!"
Yugi was taken far away at an incredible speed. Yugioh wonders about it; as an answer, the Millennium Items appear. He quickly takes note that the rod is missing.
'How did the rod just disappear?' Yugioh thought. He decides to worry about that later. 'I have to save Yugi. It's a good thing that I reinforced the spell on him that keeps him alive in this place when I healed him,' he thought. He knows that he will cover more ground if he flies. He spreads his wings and prepares to take off, when a single feather drops from them.
He sees the feather and picks it up. He is amazed beyond reason. 'It's white! As white as fresh fallen snow,' he thought. He looks at his wings to see that they are indeed as white as snow. 'I wonder how my wings are white. Maybe Yugi had something to do with it, but I'm not sure. I'll worry about this later as well. Yugi needs me,' he thought.
Then he took off into the dark sky to find Yugi. He kept his hopes up that he would find Yugi in time. He speeds up a little to get to Yugi quicker.
Meanwhile deep in the Shadow Realm, Yugi is a prisoner once again. He was locked in a cage with his hands tied behind his back. It was big enough for him to fit comfortably because of his small size. Then the kidnapper revealed himself. It is Yami Malik.
"So, you're the one the Pharoah cares about so much. How pathetic! You can't even defend yourself. You always need someone to physically stand up for you. The Pharaoh is weak to be a friend to you. When he got his memory back, I thought that he would be back to his strong self. Then, he gave in to you. I won't do that. I'll never embrace the light, and I'll kill you as assurance that I won't come into the light," Yami Malik said. He opened the cage and grabbed Yugi.
Unknown to Yami Malik, Yugi had secretly got free of his bonds. While Yami Malik was talking, Yugi wriggled out of his bonds. Yugi then began struggling to get free.
"You won't be able to escape," Yami Malik said.
"Watch me," Yugi said before he bit down hard on Yami Malik's hand.
Yami Malik screamed in pain and let Yugi go. Yugi took advantage of being let go by running as fast as he could. He soon reached an area of trees, and he ran along them to stay hidden.
Meanwhile, Yami Malik has sent his duel monsters after Yugi. They split up and searched different areas. Yami Malik has every intention to make Yugi pay for biting him.
At the present time, Yugi has a good head start from the duel monster. He is searching for a place to hide. He knows that if Yami Malik finds him, he will be dead meat, literally.
/Yugioh?/ Yugi asked.
//Yugi! Are you all right!// Yugioh replied with extreme relief.
/Yes/
//Where are you?//
/I have no idea. I'm running from Yami Malik right now/
//Yami Malik? So that explains why the rod is missing. Yugi, continue to stay away from Yami Malik. I'm on my way now//
Yugi finds a small cave behind a waterfall, and hides in it. He was fortunate to find it because he heard a couple of duel monsters come up for a drink of water half an hour later.
"We have to find that kid," one said.
"Don't worry, we will. When he do, we will take him back to Yami Malik," the other said.
'I can't let them find me, but I'm really hungry and I'll need to find food,' Yugi thought.
After the drink of water, the duel monsters left. Yugi didn't leave his hiding spot until he could no longer hear them. When he couldn't hear them, he left to find some food. As luck would have it, there were some apple trees not too far from the cave behind the waterfall. He picked three of the apples and went back to the hiding spot.
Once there, he ate the apples. He waited half an hour before he washed himself and his clothes at the waterfall. Then he went back inside to sleep. For now, he has found a good place to hide because Yami Malik's duel monsters passed by many times without taking the time to look behind the waterfall.
Meanwhile, Yugioh is still trying to find Yugi. 'He doesn't know where he is, so I don't know if I'm going the right way,' he thought.
"Yugi is hiding in a cave behind the waterfall," a mysterious voice said.
"Who are you?" Yugioh asks.
"All will be revealed soon. Now is not the time," the voice said.
Then, Yugioh saw a trail appear from out of nowhere.
"This trail will take you to Yugi. Follow it until it completely disappears," the voice said.
Yami flew on, following the trail. All he had was hope that he would get to Yugi in time.
At dawn, Yugi is awakened by the same mysterious voice.
"Who are you?" Yugi asked.
"That is of little importance right now. I want to let you know that Yugioh will be here soon," the voice said.
"Thank you, whoever you are," Yugi said. Then he left to find out if there was any other kind of food.
Unfortunately he wouldn't be getting far this time. While a trio of duel monsters stopped for a drink, one of them heard a voice coming from behind the waterfall. That one stayed behind while the others headed to meet up with Yami Malik. As soon as Yugi came out from behind the waterfall, something grabbed him around his neck and waist. The duel monster proceeded to the cliff where Yami Malik was waiting.
Meanwhile, Yugioh is almost at the cave. Suddenly, the trail takes a turn and points in another direction. 'Yugi must've been captured,' he thought. He followed the new direction. He flew swiftly to make it to Yugi in time.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the new location. Not wanting to be seen right away, he landed behind a tree and retracted his wings. 'I can't just walk out. If I do, Yugi will be thrown over the edge. I need a diversion,' he thought.
He saw three of Yami Malik's duel monsters in one spot. He summons the Dark Magician to openly attack the three duel monsters. The Dark Magician openly attacked and destroyed the three duel monsters. Yami Malik was very confused.
"How can the Dark Magician be here?" Yami Malik asked.
"He is here because I'm here," Yugioh responded. Then he released his other duel monsters to fight.
It was a battle between Yugioh's monsters and Yami Malik's monsters. Yugioh's were winning quite easily because they worked as a team, whereas Yami Malik's didn't.
"Let me go!" Yugi shouted as he struggled to get out of his captor's grip.
Yugioh heard Yugi's outburst and headed in that direction. The duel monster holding Yugi saw Yugioh approaching it and walked closer to the edge of the cliff.
"I would stop if I were you Pharaoh. The closer you get to my monster, the closer it gets to the edge," Yami Malik said.
Yugioh had to do what Yami Malik said. Yugi, on the other hand, got an idea. If he got away from Yami Malik by a bite on the hand, maybe he could do the same with the duel monster. Yugi bit the duel monster's hand hard. The duel monster let go, and Yugi pushed it away from him.
"Good going Yugi," Yugioh said. He looked towards the monster and said, "Now to take care of you." He stretched out his hand and shouted, "Mind Crush!".
The duel monster shattered away. Yugi ran toward Yugioh, but was blocked halfway by Yami Malik. Yami Malik approached Yugi. Yugi backed up, forgetting about the cliff.
"Yugi, watch out for the cliff!" Yugioh shouted.
It was too late. Yugi backed up too much and fell off the edge with a scream. Yugioh ran over to the edge and jumped off after Yugi.
"How foolish, the Pharaoh just ensured his own death," Yami Malik said.
As Yugi fell, Yugioh spreads his wings and flies down after Yugi. After a few moments, Yugioh caught Yugi. Yugioh had one arm around Yugi's back, and the other arm under his knees.
"Are you all right?" Yugioh asked.
"Yes, thanks to you," Yugi responded. He then saw Yugioh's white wings. "How are your wings white?" he asked.
"I'm not sure," Yugioh responded. Then he flew up.
Yami Malik was sure that Yugioh couldn't call for help in time. That is, until he saw something rising from the depths. Soon, Yugioh is hovering in the air away from the edge of the cliff. Yami Malik sees Yugi in Yugioh's arms. But the thing that amazes Yami Malik the most is Yugioh's white wings.
"Impossible! How can you have pure white wings and still be alive?" Yami Malik wondered.
"I was born with wings," Yugioh responded. Then he flew off.
Yugioh's duel monsters return to their card forms and fly up as well. Yugi sees them and holds his hands out. The cards land in his hands. Then Yugi's deck came out of his pocket and hovered above Yugioh's deck. Then the two decks became one. Then the single deck went into Yugi's pocket. Then Yugi put his arms around Yugioh's neck.
Yugioh flew on.
"How do we get out of here?" Yugi asked.
Yugioh used his Millennium powers to open a passageway to Japan. "Like that," he responded. He flew through the passageway and he and Yugi were back in Japan.
Yugioh then flies to the Turtle Games Shop. 'I'll go slow to enjoy my last moments with Yugi. I need to return to my kingdom,' he thought. Then he slowed down.
"Why are you slowing down?" Yugi asked.
"It's a nice day. I just want to enjoy this moment with you," Yugioh responded.
"And I want to enjoy it too," Yugi said.



Well, here's the end of another chapter. Things are on a happy note. In this story, Yugioh's kingdom still exists. How will the people react to his return? Review to find out. Again, I have the next chapter all planned out. Actually, I'm writing all my thoughts down for all my chapters on index cards so all I have to do is look back to them when I'm ready to write them out. It is a good strategy, take it from me because instead of trying to write something off the top of my head, I can look back to the written out thoughts and write a chapter from them. I'm just giving friendly advice to all the other writers out there.
