/.../ is Yugi to Yami

/.../ is Yami to Yugi

~*~*~*~Last time~*~*~*~

Yugi looked at his yami, who nodded, before he turned the handle and opened the door. The room beyond was larger than any they had yet seen. It was richly furnished with slick, leather furniture mainly, though there was a lot of steel seen too. In the far let corner, there was an ebony desk with a black leather chair. In the corner to their left, and close to them, their was a large chest-of-drawers beside a closed door that was probably the closet. To the left their was another closed door. That led to the connected bathroom. Yugi noticed several doors on each side that hadn't been listed on the blue print and made special note to watch those doors. And in the far right corner, there was an ebony bed with black sheets. And seated on that bed, with a vial containing a reddish liquid, was Adam Mutou.

"Well, well, well, how did I know you would be here? You are so predictable," Adam Mutou said, smiling coldly. His brown eyes glinted evilly.

~*~*~*~On with the story~*~*~*~

~*~*~Derek and Damien~*~*~

Derek and Damien both jumped when they heard a sudden slamming noise. With only a simple look at each other, both Derek and Damien headed toward the staircase, where they'd heard the noise. At the bottom of the steps and all along where the handrail was, was a thick, solid steel wall.

"Oh shit," Damien said, sapphire eyes noticing that there was absolutely no flaw in the steel wall.

"I think this means that a fight is coming," Derek said, whipping out his daggers when he heard a mechanical noise coming from a room they hadn't had time to search yet. Damien nodded in agreement and brought out his ball and chain.

Through the door came a whole horde of steel robots. Things were not looking good. Not only did the wall appear to be several feet thick, but they could also hear more mechanical sounds that had to be the robots.

"Well, seems like we have been found," Derek said, before rushing into the group.

Quickly he started cutting into the robots circuits, thanking the gods that his daggers were so sharp. He had rushed into the right side of the group, and Damien had rushed into the left. He started swinging the chain, the ball on the end quickly taking out several robots at once. As they fought, they could only hope that at least one of the other two groups were having better luck than they were.

~*~*~Jason and Jake~*~*~

Jason and Jake started when they too heard a sudden slamming noise. They had just gotten onto the second floor and started searching a short while ago. They both headed toward the staircase that led downwards. They saw that there were steel walls all along the handrail and another at the end. They could only guess by the fact that Derek and Damien hadn't broken through yet that it was several feet thick.

"Let's check the other one," Jason said and Jake nodded in agreement. They ran to the other end of the hall and saw a solid steel wall in the entrance of the staircase. They knew from previous inspection that all the walls were concrete, and they could tell from the sounds that this staircase was probably also lined by steel.

"Fuck," Jake muttered. He knew that now each team was isolated. And if the sounds from the other side of the steel wall on the staircase leading down was any indication, Derek and Damien were fighting someone or something. He could also now hear a mechanical sound coming from several rooms they hadn't checked yet.

"I hear it too, I'd say something's coming. Let's get against the wall, that way we only have one direction to worry about," Jason said, pulling Jake against the wall with him. Jake pulled out several shuriken, all ready to throw, and Jason pulled out his sias. Both were ready when the robots came at them.

Jake immediately started throwing the shuriken, aiming toward the chest area. He had noticed the very thin, almost invisible, line that made a small two by two inch square. He could only guess that that was the control area. Jason followed Jake's lead and aimed his hits to the same place. They could only hope that they others were okay.

~*~*~Yugi and Yami~*~*~

Yugi and Yami both turned when they heard the loud slamming noise.

"Ah, I see my trap has gone off," Adam said, grinning evilly.

"What's going on?" Yugi said, his amethyst eyes almost glowing with anger.

"Well, I knew you would try to steal the antidote for your friend, so I arranged a little...surprise for you and your friends. Currently your friends are trapped on whatever floor they're on and you're trapped up here. And they're being greeted by my army of robots. You see, I received quite a bit of money while working with the revenge-bound fool Gekido. I also have a lot from other forms of business that I work in. So I used that money to arrange this surprise," Adam's smile grew, if possible, even colder.

Suddenly, from the several unmarked doors on either side of them, came a horde of robots. Having been watching the doors, Yugi immediately drew his double sword, the favorite of his weapons. He got into a stance, side-by-side with his yami.

/Yugi/ Yami said through the mind-link. He immediately got his hikari's attention, though Yugi kept it well hidden.

/Yes Yami, what is it?/ Yugi asked back, wondering what his yami would want to tell him at a time like this.

/Go get the antidote. I can handle myself temporarily here. I did bring my deck with me, and while you may not be up to using shadow magic, my store is fresh./ Yami said, subtly grinning at his lover.

/Good idea, on three then. One/ Yugi replied, getting ready to spring on three.

/Two/ Yami said, carefully drawing several cards from the deck hidden at his waist.

"Three!" Yugi shouted and sprang into action, swinging his double sword expertly and taking down several robots at a time. At the same moment Yami summoned the Dark Magician, Celtic Guardian, and Gaia the Fierce Knight all at once.

As Yugi worked his way through to Adam, Yami expertly directed the Duel Monsters to attack all the robots around him and those coming from the doors. Slowly, he got closer and closer to his ex-father.

When he finally got to his father, he stood still, sword poised to give a non-fatal strike, though his father couldn't tell that judging by his face.

"You really don't want to do that," Adam said, a sudden arrogant smirk appearing on his face.

"Now why wouldn't I want to do this?" Yugi asked, his sword still poised.

"Because with a simple toss, I could destroy the only hope you have of rescuing your friend," Adam said, holding the vial between the thumb and forefinger of his left hand. That stopped Yugi short. He knew he could easily knock out his bastard of a father, but could he catch the vial before it hit the ground and shattered.

"Don't listen to him Yugi," came a sudden voice from behind him. While he was busy with his father, Yugi hadn't noticed the sudden stop in the fighting behind him since a very battered and bruised looking Derek, Damien, Jason, and Jake. They had, evidently, managed to finish off the robots before expected and had also managed to get through, or past, the staircase. The voice he'd heard was Jason's. He too was holding a vial, only his was a deep blue and had a label that clearly said `Antidote.'

"I found some records on his computer on the second floor before we were trapped. They stated his plan. The vial he's holding contains an accelerator for the poison, not an antidote. The real antidote was in the hidden vault. I got it, it was ridiculously easy to break into the vault," Jason said. Yugi also saw that all the robots were gone. When he looked at his ex-father, he saw the panicked look on his face. That quelled any doubts he might've had. He swung his sword and hit his father with the dull side, knocking him out. The vial hit the floor, shattered, and the liquid spilled all over. A second later, Yugi could see a black spot appear on the carpet.

"Thanks you guys," Yugi said, smiling toward the Venators and his yami.

"Good news too," Jason said, "we got all the pranks set up outside and on the second floor before we were attacked."

"And we found some drugs on the first floor. Enough to get him locked up for a while," Damien said, grinning evilly.

"And last but not least, I called in a fake terrorist call shortly before we left so any fireworks we set off will be immediately investigated by the police. They'll have to search the house, and no doubt that they'll find the cocaine that was `accidentally' left out." Jake said, grinning evilly, his silver-blue eyes glinting mischievously.

And that's exactly what happened. They set Adam up so it looked like a piece of falling debris knocked him out. They sat him at his study on the ground floor with the bag of cocaine and the key to the desk drawer where the drugs were hidden on the desk.

Two minutes away from the house, Jake pulled out the remotes and pushed the buttons. The resulting explosions were loud enough to wake the whole country, and definitely enough to get the polices' attention. And long before the police arrived, they were long gone.
