Good news! The angry mob's gone since I brought Yami back. That was close. Whew! Well, so much for that. Now it's time to continue this story without anymore angry mobs. Review please!
Yugi held tightly onto the side of the roof with the chain still wrapped tightly across his waist. His teeth were clutching from the pain and stress. He had the feeling from the pit of his gut that he was going to be left with bruises. Yami started feeling guilty for putting Yugi through this even though he chose to become a victim to help capture Jigsaw.
"You okay, Yugi?" Joey asked.
"Yeah, but I think Yami tied the chains too tight," Yugi complained through his teeth.
'Sorry Yugi,' Yami apologized through the mind link.
"You can tell Yami when he comes out, I have a..." Mai glared before Yugi interrupted.
"STOP AND GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Yugi yelled at the top of his lungs.
"He's right. We can get mad at the other Yugi after we get the normal Yugi out of this mess," Joey told everyone before staring at the smoke escape. "the question is how."
"Common Joey, guys, there's a way to get the key," Yugi said while clutching his teeth. He was panting through pain.
"Here, I'll help you. The rest of you try to find the key," Solomon said while running to his grandson who was in pain from the chains. He lifted Yugi's shirt and saw the chains tightly around Yugi's waist that were cutting painfully against his skin. "Wow, those chains are doing a number on ya."
"I know," Yugi muttered. "They hurt so bad, Grandpa."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine Grandpa. The pharaoh and I got this. We know you will free us."
Solomon could easily see that Yugi purposely let Yami tie the chains around him. The grandfather knew his grandson and the pharaoh were closely bonded together. Ever since Yugi solved the millennium puzzle, he had always stuck with the pharaoh through the ups and the downs. It would not matter if Yami wanted to involve Yugi or not, he would always end up sticking around. Solomon smiled and held Yugi's chains, making them less painful.
"Thanks grandpa," Yugi thanked.
Detective David scanned the situation to find a way to free the young boy. The others were trying to think of a plan themselves. The key was inside the furnace and the only way to get it out was to climb down there. The group took turns in peeking down there before coughing a huge hunk of smoke. There was so much of it, you couldn't see what was in or out.
Seto stared at the smoke escape, and then smirked widely. He turned his head and stared at Yugi for a while. He felt a familiar presents inside Yugi and knew his friend was inside the boy. Seto couldn't figure out how, but he felt it. There was no doubt that Yami's spirit was in the millennium puzzle.
"Listen geeks!" Seto called to everyone before they eyed him. "Jigsaw has to be stopped and some of us are going to have to go after him before he plans another game. Anybody want to take this guy down?"
"Hey! I ain't leaving my pal over here to die!" Joey shouted.
"Neither am I," Seto smirked with a low chuckle before his expression changed to normal. "But I think this detective here may beg to differ."
Detective David looked at Seto with curious eyes.
"Listen detective, we've survived Jigsaw's games before, we'll get Yugi out of here in no time. You and anyone else who wants to join along can chase that asshole before he harms anyone else," Seto said with a hint of a glare.
"I'll be coming too. I can always give that pharaoh some kicking after I give that Jigsaw a piece of my mind," Mai glared.
"I'm coming too," Bakura joined along.
The detective nodded before him and the two other kids joined along to catch Jigsaw. Seto smirked while thinking, 'I'm getting you out of here, Yugi. I still owe you my life.' Seto took a deep breath and dived into the smoke escape.
"Kaiba, what are you doing!" Joey shouted before hearing a few bangs. Yugi gasped.
'KAIBA NO!' Yami shouted from inside Yugi's mind.
Yugi's mother gasped in horror as the gang waited and waited for anything to happen. Everyone waited for what seemed like an eternity. Very soon, there was a banging sound here and there and a loud screaming. Joey didn't even think that Seto could ever scream that loud or horrifying. His teeth started clattering like knives smashing together over and over again. Yugi could feel Yami's lump and his own. He was about to build up tears until the key was thrown out on top of the roof.
Everyone gasped as they heard more sounds, and then a trembling body crawling out of the smoke escape. Seto's flesh burned most of his skin that was exposed. The trench coat was gone, leaving a burned up shirt and pants with huge holes the size of Texas. Joey and Duke helped Seto onto the ground who was barely keeping his eyes open.
"I... at least I didn't burn my eyes. I was blind as a bat in there," Seto muttered.
"Kaiba," Yugi muttered before Joey unlocked the chains and he immediately changed into Yami. He ran over by his friend's side with tears built up under his eyes. "Seto. Please speak to me. I'm sorry for..."
"You've already said that, Yugi. Just stop Jigsaw already and let your geek squad send me to the Hospital," Seto glared. "You make sure Mokuba gets home safely."
"I will," Yami wept before wiping his tears and running toward the direction Detective David and the others went.
"YUGI!" Yugi's mom called to her son, or whom she thought was her son.
"I'll be fine. I have to stop Jigsaw before he harms anyone else. Please, take Seto to the hospital. I promise to be home for dinner," Yami promised.
"NO!" Yugi's mom shouted. "I'm not losing my son to a psycho cereal killer!"
"You won't lose your son."
"Then get back here and let's get out, Yugi Ashtin Moto!"
"I'm not Yugi," Yami replied. "I'm a pharaoh with responsibilities. One of them is to judge criminals by means of the shadow games and I'm not finished yet."
Yami left after that. Yugi's mother could not find a combat to that response. She knew in her heart that this man was not Yugi. He was a spirit inside the body of her son.
Detective David followed Jigsaw's tracks through the levels of floors. The warehouse had three floors and the trio was on the first. Jigsaw's laugh could be heard all around the room. The detective was willing to find Jigsaw by any means necessary. Detective David would never forget the day Jigsaw murdered his partner. His sacrifice will NOT be in vain.
Mai was more than determined to find Jigsaw and give him a taste of butt kicking. After sticking her in this bizzare game, Mai was ready for payback. She followed the detective, who seemed to know where he was going. He followed the laughing voice to an empty hallway.
"Ok, you sick, twisted bastard. It's time for you to go to justice," Detective David snarled.
"Ah, I knew you would follow me, detective," Jigsaw exclaimed. "That's why I prepared a way to kill you. It's too bad you never considered Yugi as both a victim and a suspect. You probably would've stopped this shadow game."
"I won't let you go any farther."
"Oh, I beg to differ."
Detective David started shooting Jigsaw. The more the detective shot, the more he realized that he had already hit Jigsaw almost ten times. The bullets weren't affecting him.
"Detective, in this game, I'm immortal. I cannot be killed," Jigsaw smirked evilly.
"You have got to be kidding me," Bakura gasped.
"I am not, Bakura. It's too bad your other half couldn't join along. That would've made this game more fun," Jigsaw smirked.
Jigsaw threw a large cleaver across the room and it hit Mai across her arm.
"AH!" Mai screamed.
"Mai!" Bakura screeched.
"That's enough!" Detective David shouted before he ran toward Jigsaw and he used a dagger to stab the detective on the calf.
Jigsaw used Detective David's weakness to quickly enter inside a closet for the detective to run into a trap. The detective limped quickly as if he was skipping down the hallway. He wasn't willing to give up on taking down Jigsaw no matter how difficult the situation was. He had been hunting down Jigsaw for far too long. He was going down if it was the last thing the detective could do.
Jigsaw smirked widely and evilly as Detective David came limping closer and closer. He had not foreseen the trap Jigsaw had placed in the middle of the hall. Detective David grew closer and closer. All of a sudden, he heard a beeping sound and the floor behind him exploded. The detective blew right out the door and he found himself panting and coughing on the porch of the warehouse.
The maniacal laugh echoed the room and hit Detective David on his face.
"It's time for you to die, detective," Jigsaw smirked as he stabbed a knife through Detective David's heart and his breath stopped with eye-sockets wide open. "Goodbye."
"Most people are grateful to be alive," Yami smirked behind Jigsaw. He turned his body and found Yami leaning against the wall with a dark smirk and crossed arms. His smirk then turned into a frown and a third eye glowed on his forehead. "... but not you. Not anymore. I knew you would break the rules Jigsaw. Your obsession has drove you mad. You kill your victims for both revenge and satisfaction. Then again, that's the mind of a cereal killer like you."
"How did I..."
"You murdered outside instead of inside the warehouse," Yami replied before his third eye glowed brighter. "PENALTY GAME! YOU SHALL NOW FOREVER FEEL THE PAINS OF THE VICTUMS YOU PREVIOUSLY KILLED! In other words, I'm sending you to Hell and back."
A smirk grew wider on Yami's face before Jigsaw gasped from the changing backgrounds and finding himself dying through torture and horror.
"AHHHHHHHH! I'M BUUUUUUURRRRRRRNING!" Jigsaw screamed loudly before Yami sighed and walked to the detective. A third eye appeared and his breath came back to him. The dagger was instantly gone.
Detective David panted hardly before noticing Jigsaw in his wild state-of-mind.
"You can arrest him now. Jigsaw won't be himself for a while depending on if he gets a death sentence or not," Yami said. "Will you have him under control?"
"I will," Detective David promised while getting up. He was then stopped by Yami who looked at the detective with hard, cold, dark eyes.
"If I find that bastard in these parts, I will kill him myself. I will not let the likes of him harm Yugi or his friends."
"I see," Detective David understood. "May I ask you a few questions?"
"Ask away."
