Cheese: Yay, very first fanfiction! Victory!

Basically, this is a RyouXMalikXBakura fanfiction (because cheese likes threesomes…), but it will have some AtemuXYugi, SethXKisara, and possibly other shippings I like.

Also, I wrote most of this while listening to 'Bakura Likes Techno' on YouTube. I triple dog dare you to listen to it. You know you want to.

Please enjoy~

For a few seconds, there was silence. From either side, no one could hear anything. It was very, very silent.

Just then, a single flamed arrow flew through the darkness, revealing the other side, the beings of black and red cloth and bat-like wings.

At that second, thousands more followed the first arrow.

This battle had started at last.

The screaming of victory or defeat, the clashing of swords, and such horrifying sounds were now well heard throughout the entire clearing, but no one was really listening to that. They were mainly focusing on their next kill.

One man from the side that shot the arrows, wearing brown silver with dark brown eagle-like wings, the leader of this specific army, was currently fighting the other leader.

He spat with venom in his voice; "Mariku, you and your army will rue the day you declared war on us!"

The tanned boy, clad in black and purple, simply through his head back, laughing, then looked back at the angel with menacing eyes, "Your bravery will be known for years to come, Seth, but no one can beat Zorc's army!"

With that, Mariku grasped his sword even tighter and slashed Seth's chest, causing the brunette to fall to the ground.

The caption of the devils was about to give Seth a fatal wound, but then a less experienced angel jumped in front of him, her sword stopping his.

Mariku couldn't help but chuckle at the young obstacle, "Mana, you've improved since last we met."

Mana narrowed her eyes, remembering clearly what he was referring to.

She saw in the corner of her eye that Kisara, one of the nursing angels, was already bent over Seth in a protective manner.

Seth was sitting up, trying to let Kisara to allow him to continue, "I'm fine! It's just a little wound!"

Kisara shook her head, trying not to argue with him, "Nonsense. Look, your bleeding!"

The general reluctantly allowed the nurse to carry him to the border of the battle to safety while Mana and Mariku were having their duel, getting dangerously close to the Edge.

Mana didn't know this, but Mariku did, taking full advantage of this, making the girl think she was winning.

At the right moment, when Mana was about to lunge at him, Mariku quickly flew straight up, and Mana didn't have a chance to stop herself.

She went straight down, straight to the realm of the Humans. Because all of the angel's power was in their swords, they wouldn't be able to concentrate on flying as well. If all went well, the poor little girl wouldn't be able to find her way back up.

Mana, however, had a few tricks up her sleeve. Mariku didn't know that she wasn't just a soldier, but a sorcerer as well. With that, she was able to transfer her power to her other strengths faster than others.

So she did hit the Earth with great force on her back, a loud thud echoing in her ears. She sat up, wincing at the pain. If she were a human, then this sort of fall would be fatal to her.

Mana forced herself to face the pain and stood up. She concentrated at the sky, her wings spread out completely, ready to fly. Once her magic managed to locate the Battlegrounds, she took off almost at once, the grass below her flattened from the force of her wings.

Little did Mana know that a pair of chocolate brown eyes was on her the whole time, wide and excited.

"Mana!"

Once the girl reached the Battlegrounds, she saw Isis running towards her. Isis was the caption of the nursing angels, but was much stronger than most realized.

Mana looked around. The devils and most the angels had left. All that was left was the nursing angels assisting the wounded soldiers out of there.

The younger girl looked crestfallen, "We lost this battle, didn't we?"

Isis looked down with closed eyes, "Yes, we lost this battle." She looked up, "But we won't loose this war."

Mana threw her hands to the air and exclaimed, "How can we? They're only growing stronger and smarter!" She quickly shut her mouth when she saw Isis's surprised expression, "I apologize for that outburst. I just have a lot on my mind."

Isis nodded in understanding, "You don't need to apologize. But may you tell me what happened? You just disappeared until the end of the battle and then I saw you just fly over the edge."

Mana spat, "That bastard Mariku tricked me into falling over the edge and I landed on the Earth."

Isis blinked a couple of times before responding, "I see. Here, lean on me. Your back looks like it's bothering you."

Mana hadn't even noticed the pain in her back until Isis mentioned it. She winced and Isis guided her away from the Battlegrounds.

They both walked into the Infirmary, which was more full that in usually was.

Isis helped Mana onto a chair and told her, "I must speak with the Pharaoh Atemu."

Atemu, a Pharaoh before he died, was well respected, as he had faced Zorc himself before. This made him the leader of the soldiers, but he couldn't lead them, as during the last battle, some devil named Akefia had stabbed him pretty bad.

Isis walked to the end of the Pharaoh's bed. Beside him was a sweet nursing angel named Yugi. Originally, Isis was supposed to nurse Atemu to health, but he protested that the other soldiers needed her medicine skill more, so they gave him Yugi. Though the small angel was shy at first, the two became best friends and it was almost impossible to separate them.

The female angel bowed in respect, but Atemu told her, "There's no need for that, Isis. I don't need you respect." Isis was about to protest when the Pharaoh's eyes suddenly became grimly dark, "I heard that we lost."

Isis gave him a curt nod, her eyes filled with sorrow. It's been hard for him, knowing that the angels were losing for frequently to his sworn enemy, Zorc. Isis quickly told him, "They all fought brilliantly, though. Zorc's army won't be coming back soon, with the scars your soldiers have left him."

Atemu looked down, "I guess." Yugi rubbed his back in comfort, and the Pharaoh sighed as he placed his head on Yugi's shoulder. Isis gave Yugi a grateful smile. The young nurse was the only person the Pharaoh truly trusted. She was proud to be his mentor.

A hiss of pain snapped Isis out of her thoughts. She turned around to see Seth wincing in pain as Kisara dabbed the red scar on his chest with a cloth.

The blue haired girl told him playfully, her eyes full of affection, "You want to rush back into war with this giant scar, claiming that it doesn't hurt, but when a drop of water touches it, it feels like the wrath of Zorc? I see how it is."

Seth protested, "But it hurts!"

Kisara laughed a little as she ruffled his brown hair, the man childishly pouting. Isis couldn't stop herself from chuckling at the sight.

When she looked around, though, her happy mood disappeared. Mana was right; they were losing this war. What they needed was a miracle to make them win.
