Hell Hath No Fury

Marik's POV

Malik's head slowly lulled to one side on the bed as I watched him, my lip trembling. His body laid still.

I gripped the Millenium Rod to my body with a growl. The desire to cry out to the sky and to every god imaginable was too hard to resist. I think I even scared Yami as I gripped my hair and screamed so loudly, the very foundation of the house shook.

If I had to go to the underworld to get him, I will do so myself! I'M GOING DOWN TO THE UNDERWORLD TO GET YOU IF IT'S THE LAST THING I EVER DO!!!!

I turned around to Ryou, Bakura, and Yami. "By Ra, I will have my revenge!" My whole body shook in unrestrained anger. "That bastard is going to pay! Son of a bitch! He took my lover, he took my son! He took away everything that means the world to me! Son of a bitch!"

I grabbed my deck from beside my bed clutching it tightly.

Slowly, the world evaporated around us. My Millenium Rod glowed an angry red as the world around us evaporated. The purple haze of the Shadow Realm surrounded us.

He familiar cold hit us sharply. My body was so furious that the cold wasn't even felt.

"Payback time, you good-for nothing-bastard! WINGED DRAGON OF RA! COME TO YOUR MASTER!"

My winged pet flew to me as I held up the card. It landed on the ground with a crash and its angry roar pierced the air. Then it lowered its head to me, its low growl still in its throat. It surprised me how tame my little pet was today. Maybe it knew about its young master at home. I reached out and pet it's head with a kind of fatherly pride. My special pet prodded me with its head and it sat beside me. Bakura, Yami, and Ryou looked up at my baby as I pet him and it sat beside me spreading its wings and roared again.

"What's the matter, Yami? This isn't the first time you saw my precious. You pull out a monster now. Nothing compares to my dragon!"

Yami brought out his deck. My winged God Card nuzzled into my petting. Soon, my pet. Soon. That pharaoh called forth his same old Curse of Dragon. I couldn't help but try not to laugh. Bakura had no dragon, but did thumb through his deck and replaced it in his pocket.

"Ryou and I will ride with Yami," Bakura said climbing onto the Curse of Dragon.

I climbed aboard my Winged Dragon of Ra and I swear I gave a battle cry. That bastard was going to pay for hurting Malik….

Malik…his smile…..his laughter….his body…..memories of him and how I found him made me angrier.

If we could not break through the magic barrier on the ground, we will fly over it! My dragon towered over the Curse of Dragon. My dragon got up on its hind legs to take off and I raised the Millenium Rod. I'm coming for you, you son of a bitch!

My dragon roared and soared into the air. I'm coming, Anubis…..I'm coming for you…When I get done with you, you'll head will be a trophy! Not even Osiris will be able to recognize your body when I am done with you!

Ryou watched me from the Curse of Dragon. His head was resting on Bakura's back looking at me. He looked so sad…heartbroken. Ryou lost his son, his daughter, and a friend…all in the matter of one hour. No wonder he clutched onto his yami. He was afraid to lose him, too. He was probably angry, but now he was hurt more than angry. I could see it in his downcast eyes.

Cry out, my dragon! Send shivers up the spines of the hard-hearted! Make the brave quake in their shoes! Let that bastard know his time is at an end!

We fly our dragons onto the top of Anubis' fortress. Yami was surprised to find it mimicked his royal palace in ancient Egypt.

We dismounted our dragons and I gave my dragon one last pet. Stay here, my lovely. I will call when I am ready.

The pharaoh jumped off of his dragon. "We have to find Anubis. He has to be in here somewhere."

I sighed. I hope he is in here…most preferably at the edge of an abyss. The door to the castle is locked and bolted. It was quite surprising that I burst through this thick wooden door myself. Actually, it wasn't me that broke it down….my anger….my pain…I feel like I could physically battle a Blue Eyes White Dragon now….and win. Ryou held onto Bakura's hand tightly as we looked into the walls dimly lit with torches. The grey stone flickered in their lights. If I wasn't so angry, even I would be afraid. But the thought of Anubis writhing under my attack was enough to make me growl.

To my amazement, I wasn't the only one growling. From the corner came the Armored Lizard wielding its large claws. It's ATK showed above it's head: 1500.

Yami pulled out his Gaia the Fierce Knight. "Gaia! Attack!" The horse and rider lunged toward the lizard impaling it on his lance, the lizard disappearing.

So this is how that coward wants to play? Hide behind Duel Monsters?

We had no time to celebrate, for the Darkfire Soldier approached with 1700 ATK points. With him appeared the Malevolent Nuzzler bringing him up to 2400 ATK points.

"Yami, call back your Gaia!" Bakura cried to Yami.

The Darkfire Soldier brought his scythe down destroying Yami's Gaia. Bakura raised his card, the Man Eater Bug. The Bug chirped and snarled up to the Darkfire Soldier making him disappear. I bolted down the hallway running and growling. The thought of Anubis' screams filled me, thrilled me with a morbid kind of pleasure.

Bakura continued to hold onto Ryou tightly when something behind us crashed. We turned around and the path behind us began to fall down and was quickly approaching us. "The ground is falling! Hurry!" I lead the group down the hallway as we heard the bricks fall behind us. Ryou began to scream louder as the path caught up to us.

The Man Eater Bug was heard screeching below us. That means the falling path was right behind Ryou. Son of a bitch traps! I could feel a force try to hold me back and Ryou looked behind him.

"It's the Dark Hole! It's gonna suck us in!"

"Keep running!" Bakura cried out to us.

The floor below us began to shake and I saw another archway. "We're almost there!"

All of us began to scream and the bricks under our feet began to fall. I jumped to avoid falling in and Yami grabbed my ankles. I was holding onto the archway by my hands. I had no idea how I supported all of us. Yami held onto the floor beside me. Bakura dangled from Yami's ankles. Ryou held onto me screaming and shaking. I had to admit it to Ryou…he had a tight grip. Anubis is so dead when I get to him…..

"What's to stop me dropping your ass into that Dark Hole, tomb robber?" Yami asked.

"Don't Yami!" Ryou cried to Yami holding onto Bakura.

"Ryou, climb up..I'll hold on. That's it….climb up." Ryou was limber, too. The boy could climb well. Ryou helped me up and I helped Bakura up…and finally Yami.

We all sat on the floor watching that Dark Hole spin. So this is what you had in mind…you bastard. Nothing will stop me from avenging Malik's death. He is going to pay…..oh yes….he will pay.

Finally we stood up after the shock wore off and we encountered a large room. Its pillars were outlined in hieroglyphics and a large orb floated in the room. Lining the edge of the room were books and papers.

I removed the dagger from the Millenium Rod and looked around the empty room. I've got you now, you sick son a bitch…..

"WHERE ARE YOU, YOU BASTARD!! COME OUT HERE AND FIGHT ME!" I scream begging to see him. Come out and fight you….undead to undead….man to man…..spirit to spirit…face to face….

The purple haze filled the room and the body of Anubis materialized. There's that bastard standing there…..with that Ra-Damned smile on his face….I dashed up to him stopping several feet away.

"You son of a bitch…..you killed Malik. You killed my son."

"My step brother killed your son. Not I," he said laughing.

"If you didn't put Cinetti there in the first place, my son would not be a victim of your vengeance."

Ryou stepped beside me, his fists shaking in anger, his face flushed red. "I did not give birth to those babies for you to play with them as if they were your own personal puppets! They are my children and not pawns in your twisted game!"

"Don't worry, Ryou," Anubis snickered. "You see this pit? This leads directly to the underworld. Once I place your mortal body inside, you will meet your children….You will die."

I looked in the corner of the room behind Anubis….a pit. There was my abyss…..the abyss to eliminate him once and for all. But for one shining moment, I want to hear the sound of my Millenium Rod cut into him. He deserves more punishment than I could give.

Our Millenium Items began to shimmer as Ryou stepped in front of us, the Millenium Ring glowing around his neck. A bright light came from out Items and connected to the Millenium Ring.

"I will not let you harm my babies again!" Ryou seethed through his teeth.

"Your mortal body cannot withstand an attack from me!" Anubis shot out a light at Ryou, but the light coming from Ryou's ring only got brighter.

"That blast!!! That blast should have killed you!" Anubis yelled out.

Ryou's light absorbed Anubis' bolt. "The greatest force on Earth…Anubis! How does it feel? You can't defeat this! This is for my babies!"

A bright light shot from Ryou's hands and it knocked Anubis straight into the wall, several books falling onto his head.

Seeing Anubis pant and groan curled my lip into one sadistic smile. I jumped onto Anubis with a growl. "This is for Malik, you heartless bastard!" I plunged the dagger deep into where Anubis' black heart beat. His scream urged me to continue. "This is for Aten!" I plunged in the dagger again and Anubis kicked me off. The light from the items ceased and Ryou fell to the ground panting.

I recovered quickly and jumped up grabbed Anubis' collar holding him over the abyss. That's right, you good-for-nothing bastard! Wriggle in my hands! Try to free yourself! I should suffocate you like Malik!

"No…NO! NOT THAT! Don't drop me! NOT THE UNDERWORLD!"

The underworld……

You deserve more than this, you heartless bastard! Go meet your demons! I hope they tear you apart limb by limb!

With a curl on my lip and a snarl deep in my throat, I released Anubis and watched him scream as he fell further and further into the deep dank darkness.

With Anubis gone, I fell to my knees before the abyss. Anubis was gone. Ryou was safe.

But….

Malik.

I lean over and my forehead touches the ground. My tears fall onto the gray stone below me. Malik……

Yami came up to me and actually kneeled beside me. I let out a cry just as loud as before, my body riddled with shaking and sobbing. I didn't see Bakura help Ryou over to me.

"Marik….." Ryou kneeled beside me and brought me into his soft arms. "I know how you feel."

"Malik……MALIK! MAAAAAAALLLLLLLLIIIIIIIK!" I hugged Ryou tighter than I know I should have. But Anubis was gone and I didn't know who to turn to. My other half was gone…

To my surprise a voice came from the abyss. "Marik……"

I looked into the hole. Malik? Is he there? The underworld???? "Malik! Malik!"

"Yami Marik! Yami! Marik!" My lover's voice was crying out to me…..

My love was in the underworld! I had to go in after him!

Without thinking, I pushed Ryou aside and jumped into the hole.

Bakura's POV

That crazy bastard just jumped over the edge of that pit! I knew Marik was nuts…insane…crazy…but I didn't know he was THAT bad. Well, I can't deny that I would do the same for my hikari.

Ryou tried to lean into the abyss to grab Marik, but I held him back. "Ryou, if you go into the underworld, you will die!"

"We have to go in alone, Bakura," the pharaoh said. Since when did he become so daring?

I turn to Ryou obviously worried and whimpering over Marik. "Ryou, I want you to stay here. We have to go after him."

"Marik…."

"Ryou, listen to me! You stay right here! Do NOT move from this spot, ok?"

A whimper escaped him. "Marik…."

"I know, angel. Just stay here. I'll be back."

Yami and I stare into the familiar dark entry to the underworld. Seeing this the first time scared me, but you know what they say….Don't fear the Reaper.

Yami and I jump into the hole after my former lover.

Marik's POV

I jump after hearing Malik's voice and I fall onto grass. I call out to my lover hoping to hear his cry or his voice. Something…great Ra……I need to hear something!

I look around the grass and reeds which lined the Nile. Home. Bakura and Yami appearance shocked me. Why did they follow me?"

"What are you doing here, Ishtar?" Bakura asks taking me into his arms.

"That's a stupid question….I heard Malik down here. I have to find him."

"Daddy! Daddy!" Bakura looks around at the female voice calling to him.

"Aria??! ARIA!" His fists clench and he begins to search along the reeds.

Some distance away we hear Malik cry. That's my lover! I run taking off, pulling the dagger from my Millenium Rod again. Yami and Bakura follow after.

We come to a palace on the shore.

"That looks like the pharaoh's other palace," Bakura said pulling out the dagger from his hip.

We run up and I knock in the door I am so angry! I finally look around and there is a man sitting on a throne, three people at his feet….THREE??!!

Yami, Bakura, and I run up to them and we see the soul of none other than Cinetti himself, tossed into the underworld by Yami's Mind Crush. Aria and Aten sit at his feet…but they are not teenagers. They are still infants…no older than two. They were reaching out to us rubbing the tears from their eyes. Malik sat on Cinetti's opposite side connected to the chair by a chain around his wrist.

"Malik!"

"Marik!"

Bakura fumed angrily. "Leave my children alone!"

Cinetti laughed. "These are the souls of your children…and they are mine."

Yami stepped ahead. "Why are they infants? They were teens."

"Only as the children grew did my hold upon them strengthen. Before they were this age, I had little control over them. Anubis instructed me to destroy them should he be defeated. Now that he is here, I will destroy them!"

Cinetti took out a blade and to our horror, picked up Aria. Bakura's child screamed and cried, the sobs catching in her throat. Bakura growled and began to jump at Cinetti. Cinetti lifted the blade to the crying chibi's chest.

"One more step, Bakura, and I take your little Aria out of your life…..permanently."

Bakura stopped dead in his tracks. "Aria…….Aria, it's alright." It was surprising how Bakura went from "I'm going to kill you" to "It's ok" said in a compassionate voice.

Cinetti began to laugh as Aria whimpered out a sobbing, "Daddy….."

"Say goodbye to your precious little girl! I've been waiting for this moment, Bakura!"

Cinetti raised the blade and the little girl arched her back in a loud, piercing wail.

"NO!" Bakura and I cried out to Cinetti as Yami extended his hand to Cinetti. "Soul Crush!"

Cinetti disintegrated….Yami …the pharaoh….saved our children's lives. Where as Mind Crush eliminated the soul of Cinetti from our children, Yami's Soul Crush destroyed Cinetti's evil soul. Cinetti and Anubis were gone…..we could only guess for how long or even if it was permanent.

Bakura ran to Aria soothing her and caressing her. Yami ran to Aten.

I ran up to Malik, my poor lover chained to the concrete chair. I kneeled before him. I don't know who was shaking more, him or me. His little blonde hair bounced as he quivered.
"Marik….so….cold…."

I took him in my arms crying to him. Together again….Malik…you scared me….Dear Ra….Gods, I love you. *kiss * Kiss me, Malik. I press my cold lips to his. Tears of joy and relief running down both our faces. I have you, Malik. I'm never going to let you go. Never. Tenshi. I love you so much. You mean my world. If I cannot have you beside me, my afterlife would be empty. Immortality can be a curse…a sin….if I cannot live it with one whom I love….at least a part of it. Gods, you are so beautiful, your skin, your hair, everything. Taking my angel in my arms, I frown at the chain binding him.

I try to release him and try to pull at the chain and pry it from the concrete. It's not as easy as it looks.

I use my Millenium Rod to pry it loose with Bakura's help. Within several minutes of swearing and sweating, Bakura and I free our loved ones.

I begin to think….If we fell down the pit to the underworld…how do we get back?
