Chapter One - Escape
"Tristan, you're not even trying! Pull!"
"That's what I'm doing Joey but this thing won't budge."
"You can do it Tristan just keep trying!"
There was a loud thump as Tristan fell off Joey's shoulders on to the floor. The grate of a vent that they had been trying to force off the wall still hung stubbornly on the wall. Joey sat down in huff.
"Great. Now what." He said.
"We've tried everything but nothing has worked." Tea sighed.
"So we're stuck here, perfect!" Joey snapped.
It had been a long time since Bakura had taken over, in fact it had been around two months. That may not seem to be a long time, but to the four teenagers imprisoned in the dungeons it seemed like an eternity. Since the first day they had been locked in here they had tried everything that they could think of to try to escape. But they had lost count of how many failed attempts they'd had. But that never stopped them from trying their best the next day to escape. Nothing ever came out of the attempts to escape. Nothing. Now, their last bit of hope was fading.
"At least, we're all together." Tea sighed.
"Not all of us." Yugi said, for the first time that day.
Tristan sighed, "He's right the Pharaoh's not with us. I wonder how he is."
Yugi sighed deeply, that was what he spent every minute of every day doing. His thoughts were always with the Pharaoh. Since Bakura had taken over Yugi had not seen or heard anything about Atem. Yugi didn't even know if Atem was alive or not, but of course he prayed that he was alive and well.
"Why did Bakura have take Atem? Why couldn't he be with us?" Tea said, tears swimming.
"Probably to humiliate him, I mean that's what I would do." Joey said, slowly. Seeing the shocked faces around him he elaborated, "I mean , you I know I would never hurt Atem. But think about it, Bakura hates Atem so leaving him just locked in a cell wouldn't be enough, I think Bakura wants to make an explain of Atem."
Tristan nodded, "You have a point Joey."
"But, we have to get out of here and save Atem." Yugi exclaimed.
"I know Yuge, but how are we going to do that." Joey sighed.
"I don't know, but we can't give up."
Joey shock his head, "We're not going to."

Yugi awoke with a start, there was a noise. It sounded like mental clinking together, quietly he moved over to the bars. Two of Bakura's cronies were coming down the corridor, hanging from one of the man's jeans was some keys. If Yugi could get them, one might be the key to their cell. As the two men got closer Yugi lay down and pretended to sleep. He heard the footsteps stop right outside their cell, but the door that opened was not theirs. Opening his eyes a fraction, Yugi see the keys hanging off the man's belt but he was too far away.
He would have to wait for his chance. It came a short while later, the man with the keys had been trying to attached shackles to the wall but he let out a groan of frustration.
"These things won't attach."
"You're useless, let me."
So, the other man went in to the cell while the man with the keys stood by the Yugi's cell. Slowly, Yugi knelt up and reached out. The keys were attached to a key ring, hanging on carabiner*. Carefully, without making a sound Yugi opened the carabiner and slipped it off of the man's belt loop. Using the other hand he held the keys together to prevent them making a sound. Yugi then had to lay back on the ground without making a sound, amazingly he somehow managed it. A few moments later the two men vanished, they had not noticed the lack of keys when they'd left.
Having made sure that they'd gone, Yugi was quick to wake the others.
"Guys, I've got the keys! We can get out of here!"
In a matter of seconds the other three were wide awake. Trying the keys in the lock was awkward, due to the fact that the lock was on the outside of the cell. They tried key after key but ironically the key the work was the last one they tried. Joey opened the cell door slowly, peering out to check that the coast was clear. It was clear. So he lead the way out of the cell and down the corridor. They passed more cells, all were empty. But there was one which was occupied at the very end of the passage. But none of them took any notice of that, they could see the door out of this place. But a voice floated to them.
"Yugi!"
Yugi looked into the cell, the three Ishtars were in that cell. They all looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Yugi, help us."
A quick glance to the others confirmed that they too were sharing the same thought. Looking back at the Ishtars he slowly shock his head.
"You betrayed Atem and because of that he's in Bakura hands. Probably hurt or maybe even dead."
Marik put his hands on the bars, "Yugi, We know that and we are deeply sorry. Let us out and we can help you find him. The Pharaoh's alive and I know it. Let us out and we'll help you find him."
"No, we'll find him without out your help." Yugi replied, in a tone which was out of character for him.
Yugi walked away from Marik and out of the door that Tristan had opened. Once out they had to run, they had to find cover before they were spotted. Luckily for them a demolished building was not too far away. Once there, Yugi spoke again.
"Guys, we have to find a way back in."
"But Yuge!" Joey exclaimed, "We've just made it out! We are not going back in there."
"We have too! Atem's in there! We have to get him out!"
Tristan laid a hand on Yugi's shoulder, "We will Yugi. But we need a plan first and somewhere to take him."
Yugi wanted to race back inside and find the Pharaoh but what Joey and Tristan had said made sense. They had to find somewhere to take Atem as he was probably hurt and would need rest. Taking one last glance at the castle, he followed the others, sending a prayer for Atem's safety. They walked a fair distance from the castle before they found a rundown small warehouse, which did have a resemblance to a garden shed. It was on the small side but it was the one building is also good shape. Many of the other buildings, but not all, had been destroyed. This made this part of the city of Domino look like a bomb had exploded in it. Sliding out the door, they stepped inside. The inside was nothing special, just a small empty room, but it would do for them.
"I hope Grandpa's ok." Yugi said.
"I'm sure he's fine Yugi, I bet he's more worried about you." Tea said, soothing.
Yugi sighed, he wanted to contact Grandpa to check he was ok but Grandpa could take care of himself. The person Yugi was most concerned about at the moment was Atem. The last time he had seen him was when Bakura won, Bakura had said that Yugi would never see Atem alive again. Of course Yugi didn't believe that Atem was dead, Bakura would have boasted about it. No Atem was alive he knew it. The question now was how to reach him.
"So, how do we get Atem out of there?" Yugi asked.
Joey shrugged, "Break in and break out again I guess."
"But we need a plan! I doubt Atem will be in a fit state to run because who knows what Bakura has done to him."
"I know Yuge, but we don't know that Atem is hurt, he might be fine. We're just going to have to well just go for it I guess. But we should leave it a day or so, I bet Bakura knows we've gone and knows that we will be coming back for Atem."
Yugi put his face in his hands, he needed to get Atem out of there. But he had to admit that Bakura would know that they were planning to come back for Atem, which could be a hazard to Atem. If they tried to rescue Atem and failed, Atem might be killed. They had to be careful. Sighing, Yugi lay down and stared at the ceiling. We're coming for you Atem. I promise, we will get you out of there.
