Demonic Resurrection
Chapter 2
When the ship lurched, Solomon was worried and went to go see what Pegasus was up to. That left Yugi and his friends alone and they worried about what may happen. "Do you really think we should stay in here guys? I have a bad feeling that those demons may have escape and is roaming the ship as we speak." Ryou whispered as he held onto Diamond. "I agree, I say we head to the ship and wait for Mr. Motou just in case Pegasus tells him we should head back home until everything is settled here." Diamond said and they nodded as they got up and left the room.
When they left, the grate to their room fell and Marik jumped through, looking around. He sniffed the air lightly and smirked. The pleasing scent of the boy he was looking for was in here strongly and he followed it out of the room.
Seto and Ruby came upon the room with the queen through another grate and examined her, never seeing her before. She looked to them and cooed softly. /Bring me the creator, seal him inside this room for he will make a perfect snack for my children./ she spoke telepathically and they nodded as they sensed Pegasus standing out in front of the door that led to her room.
Outside, Pegasus heard something inside the room and opened the sliding steel door. He was grabbed by Seto and Ruby and he knew it was futile to try and get away so he watched as they brought him into the room and waited for the queen's next command. She told them what to do and they did so, leaving him hanging by a sticky substance that now covered the room.
Once they were done, they left them alone, now ready to search for the two they were looking for and Pegasus turned to look at the queen. "Why did you want me here?" he asked. /I want you here because I need food for my children. You will do nicely until they can find something else on their own./ she said.
Pegasus was worried about this and he couldn't break free from whatever was keeping him hanging. 'Since I can't warn the others, I hope they figure out it's best to leave now.' Pegasus thought.
Yugi and his friends continued to run through the hallways, stopping at every little sound since they didn't want to be caught by the demons, not having a clue what they would do. "That's it. I say we are lost and we're going to become demon food soon." Malik said and was hit in the back of the head by Topaz. "Don't say that. I know we will find our way out of here. Maybe there is a worker somewhere on the ship that can take us back to the docking bay." Topaz said.
"But what about grandpa? We can't leave him here." Yugi stated. "He does have a point but I still go with Topaz's plan. We need to get to the docking bay. Mr. Motou will be there soon enough and we'll be back home before you know it." Jou said and they nodded as they headed off once more, Malik just barely escaping being captured by Marik.
He growled and continued to follow them silently.
Bakura and Crimson continued to search through the ship, already killing of a few people that came past them as a meal. Bakura sniffed the ground once more before he caught onto Ryou's scent and nodded to Crimson before he ran off to follow the scent, the other manticore demon following behind him. 'Where could he be? He's the only person I would focus my attention on so much.' Bakura thought as he continued to run through the corridors of the ship.
As they came upon another section of the ship, they saw that some of the workers were there, fixing the broken wires. Malik quickly walked over to Rex who was there and tapped his shoulder. "Hey, can you get us back to the docking bay?" Malik asked and he turned to them. "Sure but we best get out of here quick before the demons come this way." Rex said.
They nodded and followed Rex out from the room. "So, does anyone know how the demons could've possibly gotten out?" Yugi asked. "I myself really don't know but I'm guessing they learned on their own that their own blood can also be an acidic like substance that can eat through anything but their own skin. Pegasus created their cages so they couldn't get out using their own strength and that worked so far. I'm still wondering what could've caused them to leave their cages in the first place." Rex explained.
"Maybe they were trying to come after us." Ryou suggested. "What do you mean, Ryou?" Malik questioned, curious at what he could be talking about. "Well, think about it. After we saw them, soon a report came about them escaping. When I looked at Bakura, he seemed very interested in knowing more about me in general. Maybe he along with the other demons is trying to look for us in particular and killing anyone that may stand in their way of finding us." Ryou explained. "I think he has a point, the same happened when I looked at Seto." Jou said.
"Well, if that's true then we best get you out of here then. The demons could be unpredictable and may try to kill you instead of learning more about you." Rex said as he turned around the corner and came face to face with Marik. He growled at him and before he could warn the others, he was slashed in half, literally.
Marik licked the blood off his claws before hearing voices as they stopped by the corner. "What happened? I just heard a growl." Yugi asked. "I don't know. You don't think Rex came upon a demon, did you?" Ryou added. "I hope not, we best turn back and look for someone else." Malik said and Marik smirked as he scaled up the wall and hanging by his claws, he watched as they turned and headed back.
Marik followed them until he was in front of them and let go of the pipes that covered the ceiling and landed in front of them. They gasped and Malik made his way in front of his friends. "What do you want with us?" he questioned. Marik purred softly and pointed to him. "You want me?" he asked and Marik nodded. He shook his head. "No, I can't come with you. I need to be with my friends." Marik growled and pointed to him again. Malik continued to shake his head as he backed away.
"Come on, guys. We best get away before he attacks." Jou whispered and they backed up, Marik creeping closer until he lunged at them, grabbing Malik and ran off. "Malik!" Ryou shouted in fear and was about to go after them but Diamond held him back. "We have to go help him!"
"We can't, Ryou. Malik will find a way to get away from Marik. We just have to worry about getting out of here and to the docking bay." Diamond said.
He had tears in his eyes but he nodded. "Come on, we best head where he came from. We might get lost but that's the best lead we had before Marik came." Topaz said and they nodded as they continued on.
Malik hit Marik's arms, trying to make him let go but the demon didn't let up. He climbed through a hole in the ceiling and let go of Malik, laying him down on a soft material he was able to get from another part of the ship. Malik looked up to him and watched as he lied down beside him. "What is it you want with me?" Malik asked.
Marik looked to him. /There's something about you that has piqued my interest. Since I knew you wasn't going to stay for long, I wanted you for myself and I'm never letting you go./ Marik spoke through his mind. "But you can't keep me here. How will I possibly survive with no food and water?" Malik asked.
/I will provide things for you. I may have been trapped in a glass case but that doesn't mean I do not know my way around here by now./ Marik said as he got up. /I will get you something to eat now but I suggest you stay here. When I come back, I wish not to see you gone./ he continued as he went through the hole once more.
Malik sighed as he sat on the soft material which he found out to be a ruined mattress that Marik had gotten from one of the rooms. He had a good feeling he wouldn't be able to get away even if he tried so he decided to stay and see what Marik will bring back.
They continued to run through the corridors until they came to a set of stairs that led down. "Should we?" Yugi asked. "I say we should before more demons comes this way and finds us." Jou said as they headed downstairs and found the place flooded from busted pipes. "They must've been down here already but you don't think they could swim, do you?" Diamond asked.
"I hope not but let go see if there's another way through here. Get ready to hold your breath." Jou said as they jumped into the water. They swam through the water, Diamond pointing out to a ladder that hung from the other side.
They started to swim towards it, unaware that Seto was down there as well. He watched as they swam past and seeing Jou, he wasn't going to let him escape. He started to swim quietly behind them, his movements as silent as the room. Kaiser felt something was wrong and turned to see Seto coming their way and tugged at Jou's jacket.
He turned and Kaiser pointed to the now quickly moving demon coming their way and started to swim faster, motioning to his friends to do the same. They swam quickly, keeping distance from the demon but he was still coming fast and before they knew it, Seto was above them and he grabbed hold of Jou before swimming off.
They watched as he was taken and knowing they couldn't do anything to save him, continued on their way before they lose more air. They climbed up the ladder once they reached it and found they were in another area. "I don't think we've been here before." Yugi said. "Well, here's a map and it's says we're in the hull of the ship now and the docking bay is just a little ways off from here." Kaiser said, wringing some water out from his clothes.
"Well, we better get moving then before another demon shows up." Ryou said and they started to walk off in the direction of the docking bay, Yugi now worried about his grandfather and whether he will be waiting at the docking bay for them.
Seto swam back to the little place he made above the waters and jumped through, laying Jou down as he started to couch up water that slipped past when he opened his mouth after Seto grabbed him. He looked to Seto as he sat up. "What is it you want with me?" Jou demanded as he got up and started walking back to the entrance that they came through. Seto wrapped his tail around him and brought him back.
/I brought you here because I wanted to meet you face to face instead of behind that stupid looking glass of a cage I was in./ Seto said. "But I can't stay here. I need to get back to my friends and help them get out of here. We still think you and the other demons are unpredictable so we don't whether you are catching us to kill us or because you were interested in knowing more about us." Jou said.
/I assure you, the other demons will not harm your friends. It would be them that will be hurt if your friends leave the ship before they have a chance to meet./ Seto said and Jou nodded, already feeling comfortable next to the demon.
They continued to walk, getting closer to the docking bay but unfortunately, Bakura was there and he wasn't planning to let them get far. He was hidden under the floor that he was able to remove and when they walk over him, he pulled the floor piece away, causing them to fall through and land deeper into the ship. He placed the piece back in place before following them down, intent to catch Ryou.
When they landed, Diamond got up and looked around. "Is everyone alright?" she asked. "Yeah, I'm fine." Yugi murmured as he got up. The others did as well and looked around the dark room. "Where are we now?" Ryou asked. "I don't know but I'm guessing we're below the docking bay at the most. We better find some stairs or a ladder so we can get back up." Diamond said. They nodded as left to walk through the dark room. Bakura watched them from above before moving down to follow them.
Zypher: There, that will be all for this chapter. I hope you had enjoyed it.
