Chapter Twelve – Marik, Joey and Tristan
As soon as that blinding gold light had appeared, Marik grabbed Joey and Tristan by the scruff of their necks, pulling them away. He led them in a large loop, as they darted behind the line of shadow creatures and then sprinted off into the town.
"Marik!" Joey called, "Where are we going? What about the others?"
"Questions later, just run and follow me." Marik called back.
They ran, Marik leading the way through the back of the town. It was not long before the shadow creatures began to follow them. But they had no protection from the shadow creatures so their best bet was to try to get the creatures off their trail before Marik could lead Joey and Tristan to the meet point. There were about five shadow creatures following them and it didn't seem as though they were going to stop following them any time soon. Marik led them through many alleyways, twisting and turning what seemed to be every second. All the time they tried to throw off the creatures tailing them.
After a long time they, somehow, managed to through off the creatures trailing them. Whist keeping an eye out for any other creatures, Marik led the way back towards a forest which littered the perimeter of the city. Sneakily, they slipped into the forest.
"Marik, where are we going?" Tristan asked,
"To find a meeting point." Marik replied
"Meet point? Marik please, what is going on?" Joey cried, whilst tripping on a tree root.
"I will explain more, when I find a suitable place."
Joey and Tristan looked at each other, they did not have a clue what was going on. Where were the others? Were they ok? After what seemed to be an age, Marik found a suitable 'meeting point'. He then went on to instruct Joey and Tristan to start to gather wood for a small fire.
Still Marik did not tell the other two what was going on. It was only when they were feeding a small fire that Marik finally began to tell them.
"This is the meeting point for all of us." He stated.
"Ok.. So what does that mean?" Tristan asked.
"It's means well.. It was the Pharaoh's plan to get Bakura off our tracks, I just pray it works" He explained, "Anyway, we split off into groups and are all taking different routes to get to here."
"Well, is everyone alright?"
Marik sighed, "For the most part, most of us are just fine. I mean we escaped that blast with only cuts and grazes but the Pharaoh and Yugi are not in good shape."
"What? How bad are they!" Joey nearly shouted.
"Well, you know the Pharaoh was injured before the blast." The two boys nodded, "Well, he was trapped under some of the debris. But we got him out and in spirit he's fine but physically he's in bad shape. He was limping badly and his leg is bleeding and also I think he's cut his head somewhere. As for Yugi, well he was barely conscious when me and Odion got the Pharaoh out but I don't know how badly."
"Where are they now!" Joey shouted.
Marik made 'shh' noises, "The Pharaoh has Yugi, they are making their way here. As well as Odion, Ishizu and Tea they are all coming in this direction."
"How will they know we're here?"
Marik pointed to the fire, "They will see that."
They fell silent for awhile; they were all concerned about the others. Joey's thoughts were on the Pharaoh and Yugi. They were both injured and they had nothing to clean their wounds with.
"Shouldn't we get some bandages or something?" Joey said, much quieter then he usually spoke.
Marik nodded, "Where can we get some?"
"I know where I can get some; it will take me a matter of minutes." Tristan said.
Agreeing, Tristan set off not before he had promised to be sneaky and silent. That left Joey and Marik by the small fire. They still didn't speak for a bit, their minds were somewhere else. But something was really troubling Joey, he was worried for Yugi. Why had he been barely conscious? Had he hit his head on something? Why hadn't Marik brought Yugi here as well? Joey wanted to know that Yugi was OK, then there was the Pharaoh he had been in bad shape as well. Joey, subconsciously, crossed his fingers as he hoped for his friends' safety. A rustle in the trees told them of Tristan's return, he had a first aid kit with him.
But then there was another noise which caught their ears. Staring in that direction they became as still as statues, as if that would stop anything from spotting them. But they relaxed as Odion came into view accompanied by Ishizu and Tea. They all seemed to be unharmed; Tea was a little shaken still though. Looking around, she immediately noticed the absence of Yugi and the Pharaoh. She sat with Tristan and Joey, but kept watching the tree lines in case the other two would just appear.
"Does anyone know how those two are?" She asked.
"Well, they are both hurt. I think they are just about as bad as each other." Marik answered.
This made Tea even more apprehensive to know where those two were. Marik explained what had happened to him, Joey and Tristan as they had made their way here.
"We had been in the forest for a few minutes when we found this place; it should be safe from the Shadow creatures." Marik said, finishing his story.
"We hope," Ishizu commented, "How will the Pharaoh and Yugi find us?"
"The same way you did," Marik said, pointing at the fire.
They fell silent before Joey spoke up.
"So what happened to you guys?"
"Well…"
