Chapter 7: The Fall of the Vampire Lord

The vampires have been defeated. Yami, Bakura and Kaiba were back at the game shop. The Vampire Lord needed to be stopped or the city and the world would be at his mercy. Kaiba sensed something strange about Pegasus.
"There's something going on with Pegasus," Kaiba said.
"I sense it too," Yami said.
"So do I," Bakura said.
"What do you mean?" Ryou asked.
"It's as if he is under the Vampire Lord's control," Kaiba responded. "He and I were once good friends until he got turned by the Vampire Lord. Pegasus seems to be trying to resist the control," he added.
//Yugi are you all right?//
/Yes Yami/
//What's going on now?//
/Pegasus is holding his head in pain. He keeps saying that he doesn't want to be the Vampire Lord's slave anymore/
//Stay safe. We'll be there as soon as we know how to defeat the Vampire Lord//
/I'll do my best/
"What did you say?" Ryou asked.
"He said that Pegasus was holding his head in pain and trying the control over him," Bakura said.
"Let's head to the museum," Kaiba said. He, Yami and Bakura teleported outside and flew off. He led the way to the museum, and they got there in an hour.
They went inside and began their search. The museum was big, and they had to split up because of the museum's size. Yami checked the displays while Kaiba and Bakura checked the paintings. An hour later, Yami found the vampire display.
*I've found the vampire dispay* Yami said.
*Okay, we'll be right there* Kaiba said. He and Bakura teleported to where Yami was.
"Now all we have to do is find the display on the Vampire Lord," Bakura said.
"Already found it," he heard Yami say.
Bakura and Kaiba walked over to where Yami was. Sure enough, they were standing in fornt of the Vampire Lord's display. They soon found what they were looking for. There was a stone slab with the information about defeating the Vampire Lord.
"According to this, we have to use the tri attack three times. We have to do it at 1% power, 50% power and the final time at full power," Kaiba said.
"The Vampire Lord is strong. Doing the tri attack at 1% power and 50% power will weaken fim considerably. The full power tri attack will kill him," Yami explained.
"We also have Pegasus and Yugi to be concerned with," Bakura said.
"I know. We need to help them both," Kaiba said.
"Let's regroup with the others. We need a plan," Bakura said.
Yami and Kaiba nodded, and they teleported to the game shop.
"We found that we have to use the tri attack three times: once at 1% power, again at 50% power, and a third time at full power," Yami said.
"The Vampire Lord is going to try to prevent you from hittin' him three times," Joey said.
"We already know that. We have come up with some battle strategies. We're going to have a big battle on our hands," Kaiba said.
"Let's go. The more time we spend here, the less chance dwe have to save Yugi," Yami said.
Bakura and Kaiba nodded, and they flew for the abandoned sporting goods store. They got there in an hour. As they expected, the Vampire Lord was waiting.
"You've finally come back to rescue your young friend. You have to defeat me first," the Vampire said
"With pleasure," Bakura said.
The Vampire Lord fired a large fireball at them. Yami cut it in half with a wave of his hand. The halves of the fireball went harmlessly past Yami and the others.
"If that's all you got, then you don't stand a chance," Yami said.
"That was only a warm-up," the Vampire Lord said. He then ran by fast and knocked them into the wall.
That move caught them off guard. They were going to make sure that the Vampire Lord wouldn't catch them off guard anymore. The Lord then attempted to go by them again. Yami, Bakura and Kaiba were already ready to use the first tri attack.
Kaiba paralyzed the Lord with only seconds to spare. Bakura fired the energy beam and, Yami used his electrical fire. The Vampire Lord was weakened somewhat.
"Pegasus, kill the boy," the Vampire Lord said.
"No," Pegasus said.
"Don't you defy me," the Vampire Lord said. He used his mind power on Pegasus.
Pegasus screamed in pain as he felt his mind being pressurized. He resisted the best he could. The Vampire Lord saw Yami, Bakura and Kaiba almost ready for the second try.
"Oh no you don't!" the Vampire Lord shouted. He grabbed a stake and threw it right for Yugi.
Yami teleported out of the tri attack attempt. He reappeared in front of Yugi, grabbed him and flew him out of the way. "Are you all right?" he asked as he landed and put Yugi down.
"I am now," Yugi said.
Yami looked back and saw Bakura and Kaiba fighting the Vampire Lord. Kaiba and Bakura had the speed advantage this time. They dodged the Vampire Lord's every blow very easily. The first tri attack has done its work to slow the Lord down and lower his defenses. Then an unexpected helper came.
"Pegasus?" Kaiba asked.
"Yes Seth," Pegasus responded. "That first tri attack helped to break the control over me."
"All right, now let's take this guy down," Bakura said.
*I'll distract him while you power up again* Pegasus said.
*Be careful* Yami said.
*I will* Pegasus said.
Yami, Bakura and Kaiba held hands and powered up. The Vampire Lord sent a huge wave of raw energy at them. Pegasus took careful aim and fired at the center of the wave. The small energy beam destroyed the big energy wave.
"I'll kill you along with these three you traitor," the Vampire Lord said.
"You were never my master," Pegasus said. "You guys ready back there?" he added.
"Yes we are," Bakura responded. "Step aside," he added.
Pegasus got out of the way, and Kaiba paralyzed the Vampire Lord. Then Bakura and Yami gave their attacks at 50% power. The Vampire Lord was really desperate now. He fired constant attacks at Yami, Bakura, Kaiba and Pegasus. They dodged easily since the Lord was considerably weakened now.
Not wanting to give up,the Vampire Lord turned toward Yugi, ready to attack. The Lord fired at Yugi. Yami flew by, scooping Yugi up in the process. Once out of the way, Yami landed and put Yugi down. Then Yami flew back to Kaiba, Bakura and Pegasus.
The Vampire Lord then went into a flying kick at Yami. Yami ducked and foot swept the Lord. The Lord fell on his back, but got up pretty quickly. He tried to punch Yami, but Yami backed away and roundhouse kicked the Lord in the face.
"Hey, don't leave us out," Bakura said as he, Kaiba and Pegasus landed beside Yami.
"I'll take you all out," the Vampire Lord said. He then spun around and went underground.
"Where is he?" Kaiba asked.
"Fly up quick!" Yami commanded.
They flew up as the Vampire Lord surfaced right where they stood only seconds ago. They landed and scattered throughout the building. The Vampire Lord didn't even try to go after one of them. He went after Yugi.
"I would come out if I were you. If you don't, your young friend dies!" he said long enough for the others to hear.
*What do we do?* Pegasus asked.
*We have no choice by to do what he says* Yami responded. *I have an idea. Let's do the underground bit too* he added.
*Good idea* Kaiba said.
Yami, Bakura, Kaiba and Pegasus tunneled underground. The Vampire Lord had Yugi cornerned at a wall. Suddenly, Yami surfaced in front of Yugi. The Vampire Lord attempted to smack Yami. Yami caught his hand and threw him. Bakura kicked him to Kaiba.
"Nice kick Bakura. He's yours Pegasus," Kaiba said as he kicked the Lord over.
Pegasus kicked the vampire Lord into a wall. "Yami, Bakura, Kaiba, he's all yours now," he said.
"Gladly," Yami said.
"Yugi, go over by those boxes," Bakura said.
Yugi nodded and went over by the boxes. Yami, Bakura and Kaiba held hands as they powered up for the final tri attack. They closed their eyes in concentration for this one. They had to put all their power into this one. The Vampire Lord was determined not to get hit a third time. He was close to the boxes and got a horrible idea. He would wait until they were ready then use Yugi as a shield. Half an hour later, Kaiba, Bakura and Yami were ready to use the tri attack.
Kaiba was ready to fire when the Vampire Lord grabbed Yugi, using him as a shield. The paralyzing spell didn't come. The Vampire Lord looked to see that Kaiba held back the attack.
"How can you hold the attack back?" the Vampire Lord asked.
"We can control our attacks," Bakura responded.
Suddenly, Yugi felt himself being lifted up. He then saw that Pegasus was doing it.
"Now you guys!" Pegasus said.
"Thanks my friend," Kaiba said. He then paralyzed the Vampire Lord. "Bakura, Yami, combine your attacks. Maybe it will do double damage."
Yami and Bakura nodded and fired their attacks at the same time. The Vampire Lord screamed as he felt the awesome power of both attacks at once. When it was over a few minutes later, there was nothing left of the Vampire Lord.
"We did it," Bakura said.
"Yes we did. Thank you Pegasus. We wouldn't have been able to defeat the Vampire Lord without your help," Yami said.
"I caused you a lot of trouble. I wanted to help after what I've done," Pegasus said as he lowered Yugi.
"You were under the Vampire Lord's control. You didn't know what you were doing," Yugi said.
Yami picked up Yugi and walked outside. The others followed, and they flew for hte game shop. The arrived in an hour. The entered, and Yami put Yugi down.
"Yugi! Are you all right?" Solomon asked.
"I am now thanks to Yami, Bakura, Kaiba and Pegasus," Yugi responded.
"Before you ask a question, I'll tell you what happened. The Vampire Lord converted me five millennia ago. He had me under his control. I was still under his control even when he was sealed. It was when he got hit by the first tri attack that I was finally free from his control," Pegasus said.
"Where is the Vamprire Lord?" Ryou asked.
"He's no more," Yugi responded.
"Yes, the city and the world is safe from him forever," Yami said.
With Pegasus back on the good guys side and the Vampire Lord taken care of, the city was peaceful again. The crime that went on in the city was nothing compared to the vampires. The police could deal with the criminals. The terrible experience with the vampires would always be a haunting memory.
