Chapter 12: Lurking in the Shadows

As Yugi and Atemu hover in the air, Seto watches helplessly on the ground. He stands beside Atemu's stallion as the struggle above continues.

Yugi yells at Atemu, "Let go!"

Confused Atemu looks up at him, "So you want me to fall?"

Ignoring him he continues to attempt to get him off but still keep him safe, "Let go!"

"Not unless you stay...then never!"

Before Yugi can retort again a black blast of light suddenly shoots toward them from no where.

Yugi ruggedly glides upward to dodge the oncoming blast. Straining his excellent site, Yugi still can't seem to find the creature that must be blending with the shadows. As a second blast approaches, Yugi immediately notices that Atemu's grip has loosened. As his hands disappear from Yugi's waist the blast isn't far off now.

With Atemu plummeting to the ground Yugi swerves downward and dodges to the blast so that he can successfully grab Atemu's hand. As he struggles to get the weight balance back under control he knows that if this is kept up, someone will be getting hurt and it won't be the shadow creature.

Yugi sighs, I need to get out of here. I'm going to have to take Atemu with me...I just have to lure this thing away.

With his mind made up, Yugi adjusts Atemu's wight one last time and flies drastically into the desert. Just like expected the dark creature follows and after continuous dodging Yugi nears an oasis with beautiful growth surrounding it. Now far enough from the city he glances down at Atemu. "I'm going to drop you near the oasis."

Atemu nods but Yugi doesn't pay attention. He's getting tired too fast and as he lowers to the ground an unknown blast comes out of a different creature that he had not sensed.

The black ball of deathly energy hits Yugi square in the back. This effectively forces him to retract his vampire wings and send both youths tumbling onto the ground.

The two, now visible, shadow creatures also slowly descend to the sand several feet away from them.

The blast had left Yugi weak and unable to so much as moved, and Atemu knows this. So he takes a stand and unsheathes his sword from his waist band. Walking in between Yugi and the dark figures he takes a deep breath.
