Chapter 7

Yoh scowled as he tried to read Hao's mind again but was blocked. "So you've found out how to shield your mind" Yoh sneered. "I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about Master" Hao said trying to keep a straight face. Inside he was laughing his head off at Yoh's annoyance.

Yoh sighed and turned to leave. When Hao made no action to follow Yoh slapped him. "Come" he commanded. Hao picked himself up and silently followed.

Hao was surprised when they approached the cells. Two demons were standing guard. "Going to visit prisoner 1001 my lord" one of the demons asked. "Yes, take care of my slave while I'm gone". Hao was dragged to the side by one of them as the other handed Yoh a key. Yoh took it and walked off down the corridor.

Minutes later a blood curdling scream of pain could be heard. The sound made Hao shiver. 'What is Yoh doing to that prisoner and who is he?' Hao was left outside with the two demons for an hour. They kept glaring at Hao daring him to step out of line.

Hao turned as footsteps could be heard approaching. "Did you find out anything my lord" one of the demons asked. "No he continues to remain silent no matter what method I use but he will break eventually and tell us everything he knows about the resistance".

'Resistance? Looks like there are people out there who want to stop these no good demons. By the looks of it, this resistance is causing them a lot of trouble. Does that mean that prisoner 1001 is a member of the resistance? I'll ask Vicky about it as soon as I get a chance'.

"Hao, Hao, HAO". Hao snapped out of his thoughts as he heard someone shouting his name. Yoh was crouching in front of him with an annoyed look on his face. "Respond when I call your name" he demanded. "Yes sir" Hao replied.

xXx

Hao spent the rest of the day doing chores.

Hao collapsed onto his bed exhausted. "Knock knock anyone home" a cheerful voice sang. Hao opened the door to come face to face with Vicky. "Vicky come in" Hao smiled happily. Vicky walked in and leant against the closet. Hao closed the door and fell onto the bed again.

"So did you find out anything, I only found a possible way to escape" Vicky announced with joy. "Hao instantly sat up. "Really?" Vicky nodded. "I found out the code for one of the smaller ships hanger bay. I think it should be easy enough to work out how to fly it".

"That's great. I found out some info on prisoner 1001. Yoh said that he's trying to get some information about the resistance out of him but he won't say anything. He also said he's close to the breaking point though. What is the resistance?"

Vicky sighed. "The resistance is a group of survivors who started to fight back against the demons. Over time they have gained allies with other worlds who also want to stop the demons. They have been at war with each other for five years. You know my planet was part of the resistance before it was attacked. Anyway you say that they were trying to get information out of prisoner 1001. Maybe that means he is part of the resistance. We need to find a way to free him before we make our escape".

Hao nodded. "I'll look into it. I'll come and find you when we can make our escape". Vicky smiled slightly. "Goodnight Hao and good luck".

xXx

However the next day, Yoh appeared to have already made plans for Hao.

"Come Hao I have something to show you" Yoh said before pushing open a large set of doors. Inside there was a massive cage. And inside the massive cage was the Spirit of Fire. Numerous cables were inserted into the spirit which appeared to be crying out in pain.

"What are you doing to the Spirit of Fire" Hao demanded. Yoh smirked at him before replying. "We're testing out our new mind control. The Spirit of Fire would be a very useful weapon for destruction". Hao looked in shock as the Spirit of Fire suddenly stopped crying and the cables were removed.

"Spirit of Fire fry those disobedient prisoners over there" Yoh commanded while pointing to the prisoners who were tied up at the edge of the cage. The SOF (Spirit of Fire) raised its arm and shot out a wave of fire reducing the screaming people to ash.

Hao fell to the ground. "No, this cannot be. My SOF". Yoh chuckled. "My SOF now". Before anyone could say anything more a loud alarm rang throughout the entire ship.

Alert, Alert. Prisoner 1001 has escaped. Alert, Alert, Prisoner 1001 has escaped. He is believed to be near the laboratories. If seen restrain him, kill anyone who helps him

" #!*% it" Yoh snarled. He instantly started running towards the door. However the door was blown off its hinges before he got there and an unconscious demon went flying through the air.

Out of all the things that shocked Hao, nothing shocked him more than the sight of prisoner 1001. Prisoner 1001 was Yoh. Looking to the left Hao saw the Yoh he had been serving for the past couple of days. He kept looking between the two. "How come there are two Yoh's?" he finally asked.

Prisoner 1001, well other Yoh, looked at Hao and gasped. "Hao". Prisoner Yoh ran forwards and grabbed Hao's arm and pulled him along as he ran. "Not so fast, you're not going anywhere" The evil Yoh spat summoning the sword of shadows. "Too bad" the other Yoh shouted and shot a wave of light at the evil Yoh giving them a chance to escape.

Prisoner Yoh pulled Hao out and down the corridor. "We need to get out of here, any ideas".

"No, and would you please tell me what the #!*% is going on. Why are there two Yoh's?"

"It's a long story now do you know how to escape"

"Yeah but we need to find Vicky"

"Already here" a voice called out from in front of them. Vicky stepped out of a door. "Come on follow me. We need to get to the hanger".

The three of them ran occasionally running into guards who prisoner Yoh blasted away with his 'magic'. They only slowed once they reached the hanger bay. "Here we are" Vicky sighed in relief as she entered the code on the door which slid open.

They rushed towards the ship and ran inside just as the evil Yoh came running in. "Close the hanger exits" he shouted at some demons who ran towards the control panel.

xXx

On the ship Vicky was studying the controls. "I don't know how to fly this". Suddenly prisoner Yoh ran into the cockpit and pushed Vicky aside. "Leave it to me, everyone strap in it's gonna be a rough ride.

Hao and Vicky scrambled into the spare seats as Yoh started up the ship. He lifted the ship into the air and started to move towards the exit. "The hanger doors are shutting" Vicky screamed. "We'll make it, trust me" Yoh yelled as he flew the ship at full speed towards the closing exit.

They only just made it through and the edge of the door scratched along the outside of the ship. "That was close" Hao sighed. "It's not over yet, I'm setting our warp co-ordinates… Okay let's go" Yoh replied.

Hao and Vicky held on tightly to their seats as the ship suddenly sped forwards and they warped.

Hao: What the hell why do I have two brothers!
