Ch. 42: Victor

 

“Well Seth, don't just stand there.” Atemu said as he readied himself for an attack.

 

“You can't be serious.” Seth said with fear in his eyes.

 

“I'm dead serious.” Atemu said, no emotion showed on his face. (A/N: Eep!)

 

Seth sneered and created a huge sword from mid-air. He smiled wickedly. “My sword is much larger than your puny blade!” He said as he lunged an attack.

 

Before his weapon could hit Atemu, he moved out of the way and slashed his arm.

 

“True, but it's not about the size of the weapon.” Atemu said. “It's how well you use it in combat.” He looked at Seth, who was holding his arm. He stood there and waited for his opponent to get up.

 

Seth glared at the former pharaoh as an idea came up. He placed his hand on the ground and chanted a spell.

 

Atemu stood his ground as the fallen god finished his spell. His insicts were at an alarming rate as he jumped out of the way from the shadow's knife-like attack. “You're a coward!” He said as he dodged another attack from the shadows.

 

Seth just smiled as he watched the other dodging each attack.

 

For what seemed like a while, Atemu was struck in the upper leg. He hollered out in pain as he dodged another attack.

 

“Tired Pharaoh.” Seth mocked.

 

Atemu had an idea. `It might cost me, but it should work.' He thought as he took a deep breath and ran towards Seth while dodging.

 

Seth didn't realize what was going on, until on of the shadow's attack almost hit him. He swung his sword, but only to make a cut on the other's shirt.

 

Atemu gripped the dagger, as he was ready to strike.

 

A shadow attack was aiming towards him and Seth was wide-eyed with shock.

“Here it is.” Kayra said as she tried to open the door. “Oh, no.”

 

“Oh no, what?” Bakura said.

 

“We forgot the key.” Kayra said.

 

“I got your key!” Alysia said. “Help me out here Marik.”

 

Kayra moved out of the way as Alysia and Marik kicked down the door.

 

“Thank-you for your assistance.” Alysia said.

 

“It was a pleasure.” Marik said as they entered the room.

 

“Moukaba!” Alysia said as she went up to him, who was lying down on the carpeted floor.

 

“Kia!” Kayra said as she did the same.

 

“Ryou!” Bakura said as he looked over the other's face to find if he was all right.

 

“Malik-koi” Marik said as he held onto the teen, trying to wake him up.

 

“Where's Yugi?” Alysia said as everyone looked around.

 

“He's in here.” Marik said as he looked in the darken bedroom.

 

Everyone sighed in relief knowing that they are okay.

 

“Alysia.” Moukaba mumbled.

 

Alysia looked down and Moukaba said something incoherent. She bent down to hear, but a hand was placed on the side of her face and Moukaba kissed her. Alysia was shocked when this action took place.

 

The others looked over to their love ones, giving Alysia her space.

 

When the kiss was over, Moukaba snuggled up to her warmth. `That was unexpected.' She thought. `Oh, well, at least he made the first move.'

 

At this moment, there was a flash of bright light out from the porthole window.

 

“Did you see that?” Kayra said placing Kia on the other loveseat in the room.

 

“Yeah, what's going on out there?” Marik said.

 

“A victor has been decided.” Bakura said.

 

Everyone looked over at him and understood what he meant. It's just a matter of time before the victor came.

 

“We should try to hide them.” Kayra said, remembering what Atemu said before they entered.

 

“But the question is, where to hide them.” Marik said as he petted Malik's hair.

 

Everyone stayed silent. They looked around the room for possible hiding places, but none of them could come up with a solution to their problem.

 

Then they heard footsteps coming down the hallway. They all stood their ground as the sound became louder. A shadow appeared on the ground, then the figure appeared.

 

“Atemu!” Everyone said and were about to get up to congratulate him, but their relief turned to worry when they saw him.

 

Atemu was covered in blood; his leg and shoulder were badly wounded. In his hand, he held they dagger, which was also covered in blood. He dropped the dagger on the ground and looked up to the group.

 

“Atemu…” Bakura said, worried about the ex-pharaoh's well being at this point.

 

“Where's Yugi?” Atemu said weakly, as they pointed to the bedroom where Yugi was in. He started to walk, but almost stumbled.

 

The others were about to help him, but he shoved them away and headed towards the bedroom.

 

When Atemu entered the bedroom, he saw Yugi, with the moonbeam on his delicate face. He smiled weakly. “He's safe. Thank Ra.” He said weakly, not even above a whisper, as he fell onto the floor.

 

“Atemu!” The four said as they saw their wounded friend.

 

Alysia brought out her cell and dialed a number.

 

“Who are you calling?” Kayra asked.

 

“The one person who has a traveling hospital.” Alysia said as someone answered her call.

 

“Who is it?” Seto said on the other line.

 

“It's Alysia. We have a friend who is badly wounded and we need the best medics you can summon up here and now!” She said.

 

“Why?” Seto said as he rubbed his eyes.

 

“Why? Because he risked his life to save us, including Moukaba.” She said in her serious tone, which is unusual even for her.

 

Seto was silent for a moment. “Alright, I'll get the medics here to where you are.”

 

“We'll meet you at the front part of the ship then.” She said.

 

“No, he probably won't make it if you move him around too much.” Seto said. “Where are you on the ship?”

 

“Were on the third floor, number 375.” She said.

 

“Alright, we'll be there in less than twenty minutes.” Seto said.

 

“Thanks Seto. Bye.” She said as she hung up her cell and looked over at the others, who are doing their best to ease the bleeding using the extra sheets and towels in the room. `Hang in there Atemu. Don't you dare die on us, or Yugi.'
