"Kill them"
At those very words the serpent soldier attacked. Malik's Millennium Rod immediately glowed and changed into a knife whilst Malik's Yami (A/N: Yami Malik will be referred to as Ishtar. Marik sounds so geeky) appeared next to him preparing to fight them off. Isis held fast glaring as the serpent soldiers advanced with lithe and malice. Tristan punched at one of them but his was caught and thrown back at him, he fell and landed ungracefully on his rear. The serpent man countered by impaling a long spear into Tristan's stomach. Tristan rolled over narrowly missing the sharp blade that struck a dent upon the marble floor. Yami grabbed Tristan and swung him behind him before he concentrated his Shadow Powers and aimed a ball of black electricity incinerating the serpent soldier but the vacant space where it had been annihilated was replaced by another. Tenshi hissed and scratched the face of another soldier that came from behind, she dodged a blow from a mace that shattered the marble floor and scrambled into Yami's coat pocket. (A/N: SMART CAT!!!!) With that Yami (with Tenshi in his pocket), Tristan, Malik, Ishtar and Isis were driven back to another room.
--------------------------------------------------------
"Seto…?" Mokuba whimpered to his older brother approaching him slowly almost begging for him to snap out of the state he was in. "Come on Seto… it's me Mokuba… "
"Mhmmhmmhmmhmmhmm…" the voice chuckled. "How touching… it's just one thing… your big brother isn't home little Mokuba…". The fearful whimpering stopped and Mokuba glared at him defiantly.
"Whoever you are get out of my brother right now!!!!!" he screamed at `Seto' who raised his staff, which began to flash swirling with a mysterious power. Glowering menacingly at the child like a snake before he struck. Mokuba was lifted of his feet and slammed into something soft. He looked up seeing Joey who had pushed him aside where the beam of energy had intended to hit him at the same time Joey had twisted so to take up most of the impact from colliding with a nearby pillar. Mokuba glanced at where he had stood and saw a metre wide crater.
"Hey… you ok?" Joey asked as he rubbed his sore back. Mokuba nodded as he stared up at his big brother or to be more precise the thing that possessed him. Seto would never do a thing like that but there he stood with a sadistic grin carved upon his face. `I know that creep is not my brother… but where is he?' Mokuba mused. The serpent men appeared around them but `Seto' waved them away.
"I'll handle the High Priest's little brother and his puppy dog" Joey mentally moaned. `Possessed and he still dishes out the same old insults. Ugh…'
----------------------------------------------------------
Bakura looked back as he ran with Ryou in his hand. The two of them had been broken off from the main group as the army attacked them. Bakura growled as he knew he couldn't outrun the army then stopped to take on some action placing himself between Ryou and the serpent men. The serpent men pounced at him as he took them on, punching and knocking them to the side whilst sending out balls of Shadow energy at them.
"These things are coming in waves" he growled as they eventually over come him and slammed him hard against a wall. Cracks appeared as a dent started to manifest behind Bakura as the army shoved him harder into the wall. Ryou watched in horror.
"Yami!!!" he yelled desperately when the serpent turned to face him and struck him down. He lay looking up helplessly at the serpent man who smirked evilly advancing drawing out a huge broad sword. Bakura dove and grabbed the leg.
"RUN!!!!" he bellowed but was ripped away before Ryou had time to escape and slammed against the wall again held fast by many bodies. The serpent man towered above Ryou ready to deal the final blow with his sword as Bakura desperately fought against the tide to stop him. He could do nothing but watch and scream… "NO!!!!"
The sadistic smile upon the serpent man dropped as the blade stopped inches away from Ryou's chest held on fast between Ryou's two palms as if he was in a prayer. Ryou twisted under and jerked a full-bodied kick against the serpent man's groin. The serpent man doubled over in pain falling to his knees whilst Ryou rolled over and stood up.
"Sorry…" he winced. (A/N: o_0?) The rest of the army saw this and surrounded him. They launched their attacks with a snake like reflex yet somehow Ryou managed to avoid them at lightening speed. Bakura was left to stare in amazement as his hikari fought. It seemed to be second nature as he dodged a parry and a thrust from the sword of one monster. A glass casing was shattered as Ryou dodged a blow from a mace from one monster, there he grabbed whatever was inside it to block a blow from an axe of another. It was a Chinese spear made of bamboo and a iron head blade at the end. Wrapped around the head was a red feathery string. Ryou jumped from a sweeping kick before he struck with the flexible spear at a monster's head.
"Where did you learn to do that?" Bakura cried absolutely stunned whilst he crossed his arms enjoying the show.
"No" Block. "I-" Dodge. "…dea" Ryou replied in-between blows. A serpent man grabbed the spear and tried to wrench it out of his hands but found they had twisted their backs towards each other. With a weight advantage the serpent man pulled at the spear flipping Ryou over in a complete summersault. "WHOA!!!!" Ryou yelled as he was flipped over to face the serpent man before slamming the bamboo wood into the serpent man's face. "It sure is fun though" he managed to comment before he thrusted at the serpent man who dodged resulting the blade head of the spear impaling into a wall. Dodging a few more swipes from swords and other weapons. Ryou rolled on his back on the wood end, kicking with the right leg into the chin of one soldier then kicked another with his left before slingshoting under the spear and slamming both feet into the chest of a third serpent soldier. Ryou pulled out the spear before continuing the fight with the last soldier who was flipped up and over and thrown to the floor. The soldier tried to get up but was knocked back down with a left hook punch. "OW!!!!" Ryou yelped dropping his weapon to rub his hand. "I learned that move from you…" Bakura scanned the floor that was littered by defeated monsters whilst stroking his hikari's hand tenderly.
"I'm so proud of you" Bakura said before he hugged his hikari who blushed various shades of red before he turned to the beaten heap of the remains of the snake army.
"Are they ok?" he asked worriedly looking at the unconscious serpent men. (A/N: o.0? *blink, blink* -_- Yes, yes I… questioned his insanity as well) Bakura chose to ignore the question rather than rant at his ever-kind aibou. The two of them ran back the way they came to help the others.
------------------------------------------------------
Yami threw waves of energy opposed to the single energy balls before. He kept the serpent men at bay but they had enclosed them within the room. Malik and Ishtar slashed at the soldiers one by one with their Millennium Rods whilst Tristan punched, kicked and shoved with the fighting skills he learnt in the back streets. Isis exploded a wave of her own Shadow Power like Yami obliterating an entire row of serpents however they were all starting to get exhausted when Bakura and Ryou entered fighting through to rejoin the group. A smash of another glass casing from the serpent made Ishtar drop his Millennium Rod. The creature got ready to impale him with his sword.
"Yami!!!" A burst of fire let out as a huge section of the army was obliterated. Ishtar looked at his hikari with shock as did the others. Malik stared at his hand in confusion before the wave of soldiers mounted upon them. He concentrated as huge flames engulfed the creatures. Bakura was knocked to the floor as a serpent man pounced on him with a dagger when a wave of water slammed against him and threw him back. Bakura turned to see Ryou who glared menacingly at the army. Water collected from around as he seemed to encircle it with an invisible energy between his hands. The water bobbed about in the invisible ball before he threw it. Like a bomb the explosion of water particles knocked out the building wave of monsters.
--------------------------------------------------------
Joey pulled Mokuba behind him as `Seto' advanced forward the face starting to contort to a hideously mauled appearance.
"Snap out of it Kaiba, you're freaky enough as it is!!!" he yelled "And don't bother tryin' ta scare us with dat ghost stuff cos I've already seen da movie" (A/N: Joey's referring to `The Exorcist') They both backed away, with Mokuba clutching tight onto Joey's jacket. The demon advanced, the luminosity of the jewel getting ever more brighter. With a flash an invisible force lifted Joey effortlessly off the ground and threw him to the side, leaving Mokuba vulnerable. A malevolent grin plastered across his `big brother's' face.
"Big brother… I know you're in there…" Mokuba whispered. "Come out… whatever it is that's possessed you… he can't control you… I know he can't `cos you wouldn't allow him to…" there was a shudder from the body but the entity merely contorted a wider sadistic grin upon Seto's face whilst chuckling at the futile attempts of Seto's own conscious fighting back. A black dagger materialised. The blade twisted and turned in a unique shape of a snake as Seto's hand gripped it tightly holding it above Mokuba. "You're my only family and my best friend in the world Seto… I don't want to lose that…" he closed his eyes refusing to see the unnatural fluorescent green and willing for the cobalt blue ones to return. "I love you big brother"
The blade went for the kill.
Mokuba opened his eyes staring at his brother and the 8-inch blade hovering above his head. Seto stared deep into the violet eyes of his little brother breathing heavily with absolute horror of the crime he was about to commit.
"Mokuba…" he whispered as he sunk down to his knees dropping the dagger to the floor. A struggle in his mind as blue fought with green to stay in control. Joey at this time shook his head from the impact his head had made against the wall and dragged Mokuba away from Seto.
"NO!!!" Mokuba yelled as he struggled to go to his brother. Seto gripped clutched his head as if in pain as he fought for control of his body. Green. Blue. Green. Blue. Green and it stayed. The entity stood up turning to the two gripping the snake dagger in his hand again. Joey stepped up to him and tried to tackle him. Struggling the two rolled around across the floor. Joey grabbed Seto's wrist keeping the blade away whilst Seto tried to impale him pushing down with his whole weight slashing through the green jacket and the skin. Blood started to well up and stain the cloth around it. Joey winced as the dagger started to dig into the flesh relishing the warmth of the blood upon the black metal.
"Pathetic dog… that's what he thinks of you… that's all he thinks of you, you know" the entity rasped down Joey's ear.
"Well lookin' on the bright side?" Joey choked out "I'm assumin' that moneybags says it because he can't think of a proper witty retort" He then flipped `Seto' over who landed with a cat like stealth and on his knees. "And to be honest, they kinda just irritate me rather insult me now" he added unemotionally
"You seem to be able to find humour despite your coming demise. All those that had opposed me in the past died with utmost fear"
"Er… believe me I'm scared shitless here even though you haven't even done that 360 degree head twist yet" Joey remarked clutching his bleeding shoulder.
"Really…?" The demon replied intrigued by the boy's personality. "Pity… you would have been a worthy toy to play with" Joey looked a bit nervous at the statement but prepared for the attack about to be thrown. The jewel on the staff glowed again and a beam disintegrated a nearby statue. Joey let out a nervous laugh whilst `Seto' smirked at the practise target. Joey shielded Mokuba behind him as he led him to a doorway.
"Go ta da others while I hold him off kid" he whispered.
"JOEY NO!!!" Mokuba screamed as another beam shot out this time aiming at Joey. Time seemed to stand still to Mokuba as he watched helplessly as his brother was about to kill Joey. `Seto' chuckled but stopped with surprise as a golden aura surrounded Joey stopping the energy beam dead in it's tracks. Green eyes widened as `Seto' stared at ghostly arms coming from Joey that seemed to encircle the beam into a concentrated ball before it dissipated into nothing leaving Joey unharmed.
`What? This is impossible…' Quickly recovering he growled as he attacked him physically with the dagger in his hand.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!" a voice screamed as something knocked the dagger out of Seto's hand. Another swipe knocked the staff out of the other. Joey took the opportunity and leapt shoving Seto into a wall. The demon shook Seto's head before he went to reach for the staff. Joey dove and snatched the staff away leaving the entity powerless. The ghost made Seto smirk.
"You don't know how to use it pathetic mortal…" but as he said so the jewel changed from fluorescent green to a gold lighting the whole room as if it had been daylight. Seto screamed loudly as the ghost was drawn out into the it's shadowy form contorted and twisted in agony from the bright light before shrinking into the protection of the body. With the shadow weakened the light died down as the cobalt blue colour of Seto's eyes returned but closed as he dropped to the floor unconscious. Panting and sweating heavily Joey turned to the one who saved him.
"Serenity?" (A/N: Ha betcha never saw `that' comin') Serenity held tightly to a plank of wood before she turned to her brother.
"Big brother!!!" she dropped her weapon and grabbing his arm holding him as if her life depended on it. "Oh no you're hurt" she whimpered at the wound.
"Wha… what're you doin' here?" Joey cried. Serenity looked him in the face.
"What do you mean what am I doing here!? What are you doing here!?!?" she yelled back. Joey was about to explain but was interrupted.
"Seto…? Seto wake up!!!" Mokuba cried as he tried to shake his big brother awake. "JOEY!!!!" Joey and Serenity ran to their side.
"What's wrong with him?" Serenity questioned with concern as Joey propped Seto up.
"HEY KAIBA!!! WAKE UP!!!" Joey yelled. There was no response. Seto was out cold.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The group drew back as the small semicircle they made became smaller as the serpent men kept advancing when a sudden clang of doors at the entrance caught everyone's attention. There standing were grotesque hunched skeletons with rotting flesh that seemed to melt over their faces. The skeletons scrambled into the room some going over the top of each other, teeth ready to maul at anything in their way. The serpent soldiers recognised these creatures and prepared to stand their ground. Two armies stood at different sides in a huge stand off. Enemies of old snarled and hissed at each other and both previous objectives lay forgotton to renew the hatred they shared for each other. Yami and his friends were standing as a huge battle between these creatures ensued.
"Uh… are the skeleton dudes good guys?" Tristan asked confused when a skeleton turned to strike at him. Ishtar tackled back with his Millennium Rod.
"Those are Ghouls. Gabriel's lackeys" Yami said.
"Gabriel knew you found where he was keeping Yugi so he must have sent them to kill you" Isis concluded.
"But… if those skeletons were sent by that demon who are these guys" Malik mused indicating the serpent soldiers.
"Why don't you guys figure it out `after' we get outta this joint!?!?" Joey yelled whilst carrying Seto. "I don't know about yous, but I don't want to stick around ta see who wins between scaly face and bone bags if either side are gonna kill us afterwards anyway!!!" The others nodded in agreement and slipped past the warring creatures.
"The Ghouls and those snake creatures must really hate each other" Bakura remarked as they were at a safe distance. They had decided to head for Seto's mansion since it was the nearest and had the most security.
"Meuh…" Tenshi whispered as she popped her head out of Yami's pocket. (A/N: KAWAIIII!!!!!)
They all sat around in the main lounge in the mansion whilst Seto lay on a couch as Mokuba started up a fire in the fireplace. The warmth gave much comfort to the exhausted group. Yami buried his face in his hands stressfully. "If Gabriel knows that you've found out where he's hiding Yugi then he'll most likely move his location" Isis deducted though it gave little more than another problem for Yami to solve. The more time they were wasting the more that Yugi would be at risk. Closing his eyes he willed himself to think what he could do as a wave of mystical energy seemed waft around the room. He snapped his eyes open noticing the same expression among the other Millennium Item holders and their hikaris before he turned to gaze upon two artifacts they had inadvertantly brought with them. The staff that Mokuba was holding lay next to the sword as the group gathered around it. The golden staff with the crystal jewel, though with a little more light the whole thing could be seen properly. There was in fact a body of scales that twisted and turned at the top of the staff as a sculpture of a dragon had entwined itself onto it, clutching the jewel posessively in it's claws whilst it's head rested on top. The sword was sheathed within a beautiful scabbard of black. Tied around the hilt a tassle of graceful red. The hilt itself a grand fiery design of black ivory laced with intricate patterns of gold. At the centre the symbol of the warrior that had once bored the very blade gleamed proudly at them.
"I can sense there's a power within these two artifacts and we can all say we've seen what their capable of" Bakura said. "And somehow it affects our hikaris's magical and physical abilities as well… " referring to the fight Ryou had and the sudden outburst of water and fire attacks from him and Malik.
"Somethin' weird happened ta me too" Joey added uncertain if it was a good time to mention `his' little incident. They all turned listening contentedly. "Back when Kaiba was conscious and… slightly homoicidal. He was able ta make dat stick waste a big sculpture into a pile'o dust"
"But when he tried to do the same with Joey, the energy just seemed to hover in front of him before it just… went out" Mokuba continued.
"What do you mean… `went out'?" Tristan asked skeptically.
"As in… big, scary, stone disintegrating, death ray comes charging towards me stops and `poof'… it's gone and it hasn't laid a scratch on me" Joey explained. "It seemed like something blocked it"
"They're were both found in a tomb in Egypt. The strange thing is… unlike other items buried within the tomb, both of these items are descended from the Orient 5000 years ago… This should coincide with the time Yami was Phaoroah" Malik gazed at the sword and noticed the markings of an inscription in the dim light, he tilted it slightly to see better whilst the others stared at him.
"This inscription looks like a Chinese name. My Chinese is a bit rusty but I think it says…" Squint "Yin…" Malik read. The very name hit Yami like a rock as the memory of it stood strongly in his mind.
"Yin?" he whispered. He gazed at the sword as the symbol at the centre of the sword smiled with an orange glow of the design. A beautiful, graceful phoenix partnered with a proud, elegant dragon. "This symbol… Yugi had this very symbol on a necklace he received from Grandpa on his birthday" Just at that moment of discovery the sword rattled violently in his hand. An invisible force ripped it away as the sword hovered among the group. The flames danced to the power of the sword as a figure appeared.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The image of Yugi in the flames lay shivering as tears of blood flowed from his eyes. Gabriel towered above him a clawed hand hovering over his forehead. A burst energy blinded the group for a moment then subsided as they saw a hilt protruding from Yugi's head. Gabriel grasped it hard as he pulled a long enchanted dagger out. Yami gasped at the intensity of Yugi's pain upon his face as he fought for the dagger to stay.
"Hehehe… the seal is finally broken… you're first defense has been breached Yugi" Gabriel chuckled breathing heavily from the amount of energy whilst wiping the blood stained face. Yugi opened his eyes with exhaustion and fear. Gabriel then tilted his face up staring deeply into the amethyst eyes lustfully.
"You're as enigmatic as your Millennium Puzzle. There should be much more to your plans than that simple Scout spell…" he mused before his glance went to the neck. A tiny part of a chain peeped out from under Yugi's shirt. He narrowed his eyes before slipping slender fingers under it and pulling out the locket into the open. An emblem of two partners of a phoenix and a dragon. The family crest.
"Security defenses have been breached!!!" Lich shouted coming in. Gabriel smirked.
"My, my… someones really planned ahead" he remarked. Yugi yelped as Gabriel ripped the necklace from his neck.
"NO!!!! GIVE IT BACK!!!" he screamed as the protection and guidance of his parents were taken from him. He was now desperate as he clutched the locket in his hands. The blood had started to clot but was washed away from tears of agony. Yugi had lost his parents once he wasn't going to let Gabriel take them away again. Yami stared furiously at the demon as a deep rooted hate overcame him.He gripped the rug tightly with his hands. He wished hard in getting to Yugi somehow and just simply pluck him from the increasingly tightly knit fortress surrounding him. The Sennen eye appeared fiercly bright as did the glow from the Millennium Puzzle around his neck. The aura then branched out towards Yin's sword.
"YUGI!!!!" he screamed to the fire as the force of his Shadow Powers were at it's peak connecting to the aura of the sword. Tenshi mewled as the brilliance of the sword became more intense and reality seemed to twist and turn before ripping apart, time stood still as a tunnel started to rip where the fireplace was meant to be . The group stood back in awe as Yugi sat on the other side.
"MEUH!!!!" Tenshi chided bounding through the tunnel. An uproar of monsters followed as a battle appeared to take place.
"Yugi…" Yami managed to whisper as he rushed to the tunnel after Tenshi.
"YAMI WAIT!!!" Tristan cried.
"WE'LL GET HIM!!!" Ryou shouted before running after him along with Malik.
"RYOU!!!!" Bakura yelled as he went after his hikari followed by Ishtar. Isis managed to stop Joey and Tristan in time.
"Stay here!!! You can't do much over there" Isis hissed whilst Tristan and Joey watched helplessly as they watched their friends go into another battle.
`I'm coming Yugi… I'm not gonna make anymore mistakes…'
