Chapter 2: First attack.

Battle Front HQ

"OK everyone," Yuri said in a loud and bold tone. "Before I give you all a brief review on our next operation, I would like to introduce to you our newest member. Yami." She indicated to where Yami stood and he nodded to rest of the group. No one said something. Yami was starting to get tired of these awkward silences.
"What the hell is wrong with his hair?" asked a blue-haired boy. Some of the others giggled and whispered to others.
"Well I think it looks cool," said a small pink-haired girl, who bounced to the front to give Yami a big greeting hug. "I'm Yui by the way."
"Nice to meet you, Yui," He said, smiling at her gleeful expression.
"OK then, we'll continue the introductions later, time to get down to business," Yuri walked behind her desk and sat down, then picked up a remote which switched on a large screen behind her. A some sort of crest rotated on the screen before disappearing and a window popped up, showing a picture of the white-haired girl from before. Yami sat down next to Otonashi.
"Angel has some how managed to gain new skills," Yuri started, "She can now produce bombs and possibly some other skills yet to come. We must go to Angel's Domain and download any files from her computer relating to her new skills."
"Great, we're breaking into a girls room again," complained Otonashi.
"But this time we have the password, but we still need time to get in her Domian," continued Yuri.
"I have a question," spoke up a slightly small boy, wearing the same uniform as Yami and had a cap on. "Is starfish head coming with us?" Yami turned to face him and gave him an annoyed glare.
"Well he will need to see how we do things around her so yes, he will be coming with us," Yuri said, "Got a problem, Naoi?" He didn't say anything. Yami continued to stare at him. He wondered why him and the other boy named Naoi wear the only ones dressed in black, school uniform and others wore a more colourful uniform. He turned to face Yuri, who had got up from her seat and was addressing the group again.
"OK, so we'll be needing our distraction again tonight," she said, "the cafeteria will do."
"Alright boss, I'll do my best," said the small Yui.
"What is your destraction?" Yami asked, feeling very curious.
"Dead Girl's Monster," beamed Yui, "Or GirlDemo for short." She smiled at Yami, who then gave her a pleasing grin.

Hotel in Egypt

Sophie stretched her arms. She was getting weary of all the arguing over what to do. Jounouchi and Hondo had argued for nearly 20 minutes over how they were goning get the Pharaoh back.
"No, we're gonna go back, stand in front of the stone and wait for something to happen!" Jounouchi exclaimed in a irritated way.
"That's stupid plan, I doubt it would happen a second time," Honda said. Anzu sat just in front of them, showing an impatient expression which was fixed into her face muscles. Jounouchi and Honda continued to argue until…
"SHUUUT UUUUUP!" Screamed Sophie. Everyone jumped and turned to face her.
"Arguing isn't going to get us anywhere, we need to think of a plan and stick with it!" Everyone nodded. They were still startled by her shouting. Marik walked into the room, followed by a mysterious female, dressed in black. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and hair fringe came down to her small, thin eyebrows. Her hair was jet black.
"Everyone, this is Konata, she might be able to help us out," Marik said, as everyone looked at each, wondering who this girl was. Konata stepped to the front of the group, looking like some important person, and opened her mouth to speak.
"OK," she said loudly, "Marik has told me all that has happened and I have a plan that will save the Pharaoh."
"How do we know we can trust you?" Jounouchi scanned Konata with suspicious eyes. A look of distrust upon his face.
"Because I know where he is," she said, watching Jounouchi. "He has passed through into the afterlife, but not the afterlife you expect. Usually, people go there when they hadn't had a fulfilled life and has a second chance in enjoying their youth. Like me." Everyone was even more confused. Yet sat in the corner, where no one had noticed, Yugi sat, staring blankly at his puzzle. Nothing what Konata said was going into his brain. He was still afraid that the Pharaoh was hurt or in danger. He wanted to see him again, but he couldn't. His heart felt like someone had ripped a great heaping hole in it, and had filled it with sawdust. His mouth was very dry and even though he could feel his own body heat, he was cold…

Konata had talked or at least a good 10 minutes without any interruption. Her plan had been to go back and do what the Pharaoh had done, which was to hold up the 3 Egyptian god cards to the stone tablet, and wait for the portal to open.
"We'll need someone who can go there and get back as quick as possible," Konata continued. "It would be best if Fergie, who I believe resides in your bracelet, Sophie, to go. Since she is like the Pharaoh, a spirit of an millennium item."
"Wait, what about Yugi?" said Sophie. She truned to the corner Yugi was sat in. He sat there motionless, unaware that everyone was looking at him. Staring blankly at the puzzle.
"Given the emotional state he's in, I don't think he would be fit enough to go," Konata replied. Sophie sighed and nodded her head. She watched Yugi for a moment. Hoping he would say something, anything that would reassure her he was alright. His eyes looked empty and almost soulless.

Angel's Domain

Yami stared at the gun Yuri had given him. He had never used one before, but he didn't think he would need to use it anyway. He continued to watch the others hacking into Angel's computer. A small, brown-haired boy was busy typing away. He was in full concentration. The room was small and tidy. Yami sat down on the soft bed. It was like any other dorm room. It had a desk with a computer. A shelf full of school books, with a little wardrobe next to it and small, comfy bed propped up against the wall. It felt warm. Yami took off his jacket and pushed his shirt sleeves up to elbow length, placing the gun beside him.

The band had started playing. Despite the music coming from a far distance, Yami still listened to it and could every word Yui was singing. Her voice sounded high and strong, blending quite nicely with the instruments.
"OK, let's have a look," said the boy sat by the computer.
"I'll go check on Matsushite and Noda," Otonashi said, then walked into the corridor to join Matsushite, a rather large male and Noda, who carried his trusty axe like weapon. Yami watched him close the door. He still was wondering why he was here still. He had learned that everyone else had died somehow and appear in the afterlife. This really puzzled him. He sure he hadn't died. Unless this was part of the whole 'journey to his past' journey.

10 minutes pasted. The boy was still clicking away on the computer, and Otonashi had returned, who sat by Yami, looking both bored and tired.
"Usually our operations are much more exciting," sighed Otonashi. Yami nodded in acknowledgement.
"I'm surprised Angel hasn't given us trouble," he continued.
"Isn't she that white-haired girl?" said Yami, "She looks pretty harmless to me."
"Yeah, well I guess she is really, but once she starts fighting she can be pretty vicious." Yami wondered about Angel. Why did they call her angel? Is she an angel?

There was a disturbance outside. Then a loud bang and then shouting.
"The hell is going on," Otonashi said, surprised by the noise. He got up to see what was happening. Yami followed cautiously. As Otonashi opened the door, it was clear what had happened. Matsushite and Noda were both on the floor in pain.
"What happened?" Otonashi asked shocked. Yami wondered the same.
"I-I don't know," groaned Matsushite, "Some strange figure appeared and, attacked us. I-it was too quick to fight off." He winced. Otonashi turned to Noda.
"I don't know other," Noda mumbled.
"I'm gonna go and get Yuri and tell her what's happened," Otonashi said, as her hurried out into the dark corridor. "Yami, you stay in case it comes back!"
"Hey wait!" But he had already gone before Yami could protest to him. He took a big sigh and looked over to the to moaning males laying on the floor. What was he supposed to do if it comes again? He suddenly remembered about his gun and went back I the room to get it. When he returned, it only took him a few seconds for him to realise he was knocked over and was laying on the floor with Matsushite and Noda. Coming to his senses, he got up and pointed his gun.
"Who's there?" he demanded. He turned a full circle. Then a dark object streaked passed him almost knocking him off his feet again. He regained his balance quickly and started shooting in the direction it went in. After about 5 shots, Yami pulled down his gun a little, checking if he got his target. He didn't see anything. He swiftly turned round. Which wasn't the smartest move, as the figure had appeared knocking him over again, also causing him to drop the gun. Yami fell to the ground with a rather loud thud with caused him to bruise his stomach. He reached for the gun but was too late. The figure was in front of him and picked the gun, holding it high in front of it. The figure looked at Yami, who looked up. It looked some sort of smock like ghost with dark red eyes as slights. It title it's head a little. It seemed curious of the person laying in front of it. Yami didn't know what to do. The eyes that was staring straight into his own made him feel a little uneasy and worried. But then the figure had just vanished. Just like that. The gun dropping to the floor. Yami was confused as to how, did he make it vanish? Never the less, he got up and picked up the gone.
"What the hell was that thing?" he whispered to himself, before checking up on Matsushite and Noda, still laying on the cold floor.

It wasn't long before Otoashi had come back, accompanied by Yuri. She seemed anxious, judging by the expression in her face.
"What happened, who attacked you?" she said hastily.
"It's gone," Yami replied, "The figure just disappeared. I don't know how, but it did." Yuri and Otocashi looked at each other. Everyone was asking themselves the same question, what was that thing?
"It's best if we bring this operation to a close," Yuri said, then walked into the bedroom and approached the boy at the computer.
"Are you nearly done there, Takeyama?" She said, looking important.
"Yes, and I've told call me Christ," He replied with a stern voice towards the end. Every one started heading back. As the band played there last song of the night, the atmosphere seemed tensed as every one appeared alert, in case of another attack. The sky was almost pitch black, and the grounds looked cold and dark, which didn't help with Yami's uneasy mood at all. Then a small, chirpy bird called over the fields, as though it had said goodnight.
