Chapter 4: The Rescue

Things couldn't have gotten any worse than they already were. Yugi was out of commission, I was injured but still standing, and the two most powerful of the four counterparts had their sights on me.
"Let's see how much longer you can stay alive," Simba's counterpart said. He fired a beam of laser and raw energy at me.
I used my powers to block. I blocked it easily. "That was too easy. I think you're toying with me. There's no way that I could've blocked the attack that easily," I said.
"You're right. I am toying with you," Simba's counterpart said. "Let's have fun before we kill her," he said to Yugioh's counterpart.
"Yeah, let's play," Yugioh's counterpart agreed. He took to the air and breathed down fire at me.
Simba's counterpart did the same. I managed to move out of the way quickly, even with my chest injury. They continued their merciless assault. All the dodging was making my pain worse. I pushed it away though as I continued to evade the attacks.
Meanwhile, the evil sorcerer was watching from his chamber. He was very pleased. 'They're doing beautifully. I wouldn't have thought they would decide to play with her to lower her speed and defense. They're making me very proud I created them,' he thought.
I was still dodging every attack being thrown at me. 'I can't let Yugi, Yugioh and Simba down. They're counting on me to stay alive,' I thought.
Then Yugioh's counterpart flew down and grabbed me. He took me high into the air and dropped me. A few seconds before I made impact with the ground, he grabbed me again and threw me on the ground very hard.
"Aaahhh!" I screamed.
"Looks like I made your pain worse. We'll that's only the beginning," he said.
I got back up to my feet. "I won't give up. I'll fight until my last breath," I said. I was getting weaker.
"You have spirit. I almost regret that we'll have to kill you," Simba's counterpart said. He breathed fire at me.
I teleported out of the way. During my teleport, I became invisible.
"Where did she go?" Yugioh's counterpart asked.
I could tell that he really wasn't confused at all. He was being very sarcastic.
'I know I can't stay hidden from them for long. I better get moving. If they find me, I'm done for,' I thought. I moved as quickly as I could without making my pain worse.
Meanwhile, Simba and Yugioh were still walking. They sensed that I was getting very worn out.
"Keisha won't last much longer. We have to find them soon," Simba said.
"Yeah, and Yugi is barely holding on to life. If we're too late, I'll never forgive myself," Yugioh said.
"That's exactly how I feel," Simba said.
"You're almost there now," the Great Spirit said.
"How much longer?" Simba asked.
"You should be there in half an hour from now," the Great Spirit responded.
"Thank you," Yugioh said. 'Hold on Keisha, Yugi. We're almost there,' he thought.
Meanwhile, I was very weary and close to collapsing. The counterparts found me only half an hour after I became invisible. They have gone back to their assaults. But they weren't playing around this time. This time they meant business.

"You think we should let her know we can see through her invisibility?" Simba's counterpart asked.
"Nah, let's follow her. Besides she apparently already knows that we can sense her," Yugioh's counterpart responded. "Let's give her a little headstart before we close in," he added.
"Oh, you're good. That will be fun," Simba's counterpart said.
"Why thank you," Yugioh's counterpart said.
I was going slowly but surely. Half an hour later, I saw a stream of fire coming right toward me. I jumped out of the way. 'Well, the invisibility brigade is over,' I thought as I became visible again.
"That was fun. We knew where you were from the start. We decided to give you a head start before attacking," Yugioh's counterpart said. "The time for playing with you is over. Now, you'll die." He took me back to where Yugi was.

"Let's double team here," Simba's counterpart said.
Yugioh's counterpart nodded and they fired energy beams at the same time. I was too tired from fighting with Yugi's counterpart and dogding the merciless assaults of Yugioh and Simba's counterparts to move out of the way. I was hit hard. I didn't scream; even though it hurt an awful lot. I fell on the ground unconscious. I was now barely gripping to life like Yugi was.
"Keisha!" Simba and Yugioh shouted together. They sensed the lethal blow I got. They were just a few minutes away now. They walked for a minute more and saw us.
"Finally! Let's go!" Yugioh said desperately.
Simba nodded, and they ran the rest of the way. The counterparts were ready to deliver the final blow.
"Stop right there!" a voice shouted.
The counterparts looked in the direction on the vocie to see a lion running up to them. They saw another figure alongside the lion.
"It's them," Yugioh's counterpart said.
"And we were so close too," Simba's counterpart agreed.
Simba and Yugioh stopped a few yards shy of us. Yugioh snapped his fingers, and Yugi and I appeared at his and Simba's feet. Yugioh healed Yugi, and Simba healed me. Yugi and I regained consciousness.
"Are you two all right?" Yugioh asked.
"We are now thanks to you and Simba," Yugi responded.
Yugioh looked around and saw a cliff in the distance. //Simba, let's take Keisha and Yugi to that cliff in the distance over there//
Simba nodded. Yugioh picked up Yugi, and I got on Simba's back. They flew to the cliff. When they got there, Yugioh set Yugi down, and I got off Simba's back.
"Stay here you two. Yugioh and I will take care of our counterparts," Simba said. He flew off with Yugioh close behind.
Their counterparts and they met a good distance away from the cliff.
"You had your fun. Now it's our turn," Yugioh said.
Simba's counterpart flew for the cliff.
"Oh no you don't!" Simba shouted as he flew off after his counterpart. He flew faster than the counterpart and blocked it off.
Yugioh and his counterpart were having an all-out brawl in the air. They were firing and charging at each other.
"I'll take care of you, and then I'll kill your precious Yugi," the counterpart said.
"You won't be killing Yugi anytime soon," Yugioh said. He grabbed his counterpart and threw it through the air.
The counterpart disappeared. He reappeared behind Yugi, grabbed him and flew off.
"Yugioh, help me!" Yugi cried.
"Yugi!" Yugioh cried and flew off after his counterpart.
Unfortunately, Simba was distracted by that. His counterpart teleported in the distraction and reappeared in the air behind me. The counterpart then grabbed me with his paws and flew off with me.
"Simba, help!" I shouted.
"I'm coming!" Simba shouted. He flew off after his counterpart.
Yugioh was gaining on his counterpart. The counterpart went faster, but he wasn't even close to how fast Yugioh was. Yugioh easily blocked his counterpart's path. The counterpart turned and flew in another direction. Yugioh flew in the same direction. He flew up and struck his counterpart hard against the back. The counterpart dropped Yugi during its brief stun.
"Yugi!" Yugioh shouted.
The counterpart flew down to recapture Yugi.
"Oh no you don't!" Yugioh shouted as he dove after Yugi.
It was close, but Yugioh ended up catching Yugi. He then flew off with Yugi. The counterpart flew after them. Yugi looked back and saw it.
"Yugioh, we have company," Yugi said.
"Well I'm going to give our 'guest' a very rude welcome," Yugioh said. He turned toward the counterpart and breathed fire at it.
The counterpart attemped to fly away. Yugioh was way ahead of it. The fire went around the couterpart like a swirling whirlpool. The counterpart was burned to ashes because it wasn't one with fire like Yugioh was.
"Where's Keisha?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know. Let's find out," Yugioh responded as he flew back the way he came.
I was in a cave while Simba and his counterpart fought outside.
"Give up. I'll kill your little sister anyway," the counterpart said.
"Oh no you won't," Simba said.
"We'll see," the counterpart said as he appeared to vanish.
Simba ran into the cave on instinct. 'He's not around here. Where is he?' he thought. He looked around. He was a good distance away from my location in half an hour.
The counterpart actually never disappeared. He just became invisible. He walked inside. He saw me and decided to trick me. "Keisha," he said.
"Yes Simba?" I asked. Unfortunately, I didn't check to see that he didn't have the mark on his front right paw.
"We can go outside now. It's safe," he responded.
"Okay, let's go," I said.
We walked outside the cave. Then the counterpart sealed the cave.
Why did you seal the cave?" I asked.
"I did it to trap the phony in there," he responded. 'That won't hold him at all. I better kill her now,' he thought.
I just happened to look down. There was no mark on his front right paw.
"You're not Simba," I said as I put distance between us.
"No I'm not. I'm your death warrant," he said.
Suddenly, the real Simba burst through the sealed exit. "Keep away from her!" he demanded. His eyes were flashing dangerously.
The counterpart charged at me. Suddenly, a beam shot down from out of nowhere and came right in between us. I looked up to see Yugioh with Yugi. Yugioh landed and set Yugi down.
"Mind if I join the party?" Yugioh asked.
"It just got good," I responded. "Let's take care of this counterpart," I added.
Yugioh and Simba's eyes glowe, and they moved their heads up a little. A ring of fire surrounded the counterpart. The fire closed in quickly, and the counterpart was burned to cinders.
Then we saw a gateway. The Pridelands was on the other side.
"Look, it's the way out!" I happily said.
We walked through the gateway and were back in the Pridelands.
"Boy am I glad to be here again," Yugi said.
"We all are Yugi," Yugioh said.
The sun started to rise. Simba laid down, and I laid on him. There was enough room for Yugi as well. He laid on Simba as well. Yugi and I slept as Simba and Yugioh watched over us.
"What nights these have been," Simba said.
"You said it," Yugioh agreed. "But things are back to normal for the time being. Let's just enjoy it while it lasts."
Simba nodded and they watched us sleep.


Wow, and I mean Wow! Preview for Chapter 5: Star of the Show: A circus that is located about ten miles away from the Pridelands has come for its second visit. This circus comes twice a year. Simba, Yugi, Yugioh and I go to see the show. Simba gets a last minute telepathic call from Nala saying that he is needed at a meeting, and leaves for Pride Rock. Yugi and Yugioh get a little confused when I tell them that I have to talk to the circus people and to go in without me. What they don't know is that I'm the star of the show. How will they react?
