Chapter 12
Face off part 2
Last time on "The War"
"You may have beaten me Anzu, but know that you will never defeat Shinu!" Tintu hissed before the sphere disappeared. Anzu sighed and walked back to her position.
"Well, come on you three, two down and three to go." With that Anzu headed off again.
The group continued down the passage in silence. They could now feel the power that generated off the crystal that kept the demons at there power. Yami was the first to break the silence.
"Anzu do you know who that Shinu guy, that Tintu mentioned is?" Yami asked. Anzu kept on looking straight ahead before sighning.
"He's Zoku's son and one of the most powerful Serlion, next to Zoku himself, he is also the finale guardian before we fight Zoku, though how we get passed Shinu alive I have no idea," Yami sighed, "But we don't have to worry about him yet, we still have two more guardians to get through first."
"Tell us about the next two," Bakura said.
"Well, next is Ignis, he what you would call an elemental demon, he can control all six of the elements, earth, wind, fire, water, lightness, and darkness," Anzu said, "Next is Nariena, she your basic vampire, though she can also control your own shadow so don't be surprised if you end up having to fight yourself." Yami nodded taking in all the information.
Finally they came to a door at the end of the passage. It had a flame on the front of it and was made out of strong metal. Anzu walked up and opened the door. Inside was a tall man. He had spiky aqua blue hair and earth brown eyes. His skin was pale and he had on a white trench coat with flames at the bottom. He was shirtless with a pair of black martial art pants.
"Well, Anzu it seems you and your little group have made quite a distance within the Labyrinth, to bad this will be were you stop," Ignis said changing into a matrail art postion. Anzu also got into postion.
"Bakura while I distract him I need you to go behind and right were his skull meets the neck bone put a little shadow magic in his system, I can finish him from there," Anzu said. Bakura nodded and ran off so that he was behind Ignis. Yami and Marik just stayed back and let Anzu and Bakura take care of this one. Ignis lunged forwards with flame surrounding his hand. Anzu side stepped and punched him in his side, using her shandow magic to send him flying into the wall. Ignis was on his feet in an instant. This time he sent a large tidal wave at Anzu. She put up a shield to protect herself until the waves died down leaving ankle deep water on the ground. Anzu could tell Ignis was getting frustrated now. He lunged at Anzu again only to miss. Anzu grabbed his arms and put her foot on his back.
"Bakura now!" Anzu yelled. Bakura ran forwards and pressed his two fingers against the sensitive area Anzu had told him. Once Bakura was out of the way, she let Ignis go long enough to create a shadow dagger and stab Ignis in the back with it. His body fell to the ground as the water disappeared.
"Wow, that was great Anzu!" Yami exclaimed running over to check on his friends. Anzu blushed again before heading on.
"So we have this vampire Nariena, and then Zoku's kid Shinu right?" Marik asked. Anzu nodded to him, but kept walking without saying anything.
"Whats wrong Anzu?" Yami asked, "You seemed worried about something."
"I'm worried about Shinu, all of the demons so far have been pretty simple to beat because they were part of my training after Zoku toke over my mind, but for Shinu I have herd rumors, and what his father says about him, but that's it, I have no idea how to beat that guy," Anzu said with a sigh. Yami out his hand on her shoulder and smiled at her.
"Don't worry I'm sure we'll figure out how to defeat him once we see him," Yami said assuringly. Anzu smiled at him before turning forward again.
Soon they came upon another door. This one had a heart of it with a sword going through it. Anzu opened the door, and standing in the middle of the room was a girl. She looked about 15 or 16. She had long black hair and crystal blue eyes. She was wearing a black corset top with a long black shirt and black leather boots. Giant bat like wing came from her back and she had two long fangs that went past her chin hanging out of her mouth.
"Why hello Anzu it's been awhile," The girl said politely. Anzu just smirked at the girl before crossing her arms across her chest.
"It hasn't been long enough Nariena," Anzu said in the same polite voice. Nariena growled at Anzu.
"How dare you come and try to steal masters treasure you traitor!" Nariena hissed. Anzu rolled her eyes at the vampire, but did not change her postion.
"You never did scare me Nariena, and it always made you mad as hell," Nariena hissed and lunged at Anzu. Anzu grabbed her arms and throw her across the room making a large indent in the wall on the other side. Nariena smirked at Anzu and began chanting a spell of her own. Anzu lunged at her but was stopped by her exacted duplicate.
"Damn," Anzu whispered. Then an idea popped into her head, "Yami cover the whole room in darkness!" Yami nodded and began to summon his power to cover the place in darkness. No one except Anzu and Nariena could see with in two feet of themselves. The instant the darkness covered the room the shadow Anzu disappeared.
"What!" Nariena scream also seeing her shadow gone. Anzu chuckled at her.
"Shadows can't live without light, you of all people should know that Nariena," Nariena growled and lunged at Anzu again. This time Anzu created a shadow dagger and stabbed Nariena right through her heart, "People say that one way to kill a vampire is to stab it with a stake to the heart, they don't know how true they where," Anzu whispered as Nariena's body fell to the ground.
"Well, that's four down and one to go," Yami said making the darkness go away. Anzu just looked at the door exiting the room and let out a shaky breath. Yami came up and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Anzu walked out into the passage way. They walked down the passage before coming to the finale door. The door was covered in sense of war and death. The outer frame of the door was lined with gold and had a red tint to it like blood. Anzu walked up to the door and throw it open with all her might. Standing there was a boy no younger than 16. He had short black hair and glowing red eyes. His skin was tan and he was wearing a black tank top with black leather pants and boots. Around his waist were two katanna.
"Welcome, I see you have made it passed my sister, you must be true warrior to accomplish such a feet," Shinu said.
"You know why we came her Shinu!" Anzu yelled. Shinu bowed his head and drew his katanna.
"And you know Anzu that I can not allow you to take it," Anzu created a sword. Yami also created a sword and stood next to Anzu, "Then lets begun." He held his katannas straight out and lunged for Anzu and Yami. Both side step and tried to thrust there swords into his side only to be deflected and thrown against the wall. Anzu was the first to her feet. She lunged for Shinu again only to have him garb her ahand and twist it making her lose her grip on her sword. She flipped backwards to avoid his blade. When she got to her feet she noticed that there was a crystal hanging from his neck.
Suddenly the room went cold. The group could here Shinu chanting, and a giant portal opened. From the portal came the red eyes black dragon. It roared in furry from having been awaken and brought here. Anzu summoned the Drk Magician Girl, while Yami, Bakura, and Marik summoned their own monsters. The monsters fought with Red Eye while Anzu turned her attention back to Shinu. She saw the crystal shimmer around his neck again.
"Yami keep him busy," Anzu said. Yami nodded and lunged at Shinu again. The clash of the sword rang through the room.
"You are quite the swordsmen my pharaoh," Shinu stated with a smirk on his face. Yami just smirked back as he saw Anzu quietly coming up behind him.
"Thank you," she exclaimed as she snatched the crystal from around Shinu's neck. The instant it came off, Red eyes disappeared back to the shadow realm. Shinu turned around as anger flashed through his eyes.
"You will pay for that Anzu," He lunged at Anzu. Anzu tried to side step but was to slow. The sword sliced her side. She held her side as she fell to the ground. Shinu turned around to attack Anzu again. The anger on his face turned to shock as he looked down to see Yami's sword coming out of his chest. Shinu collapsed to the ground after Yami pulled out the sword, and his body dissolved into dust.
"Anzu!" Yami called as he ran over to his friend," Anzu looked up at him and smiled before standing up still holding her side.
"I'll be fine don't worry Yami, we should keep going, most likely Zoku's going to be pissed when he finds out what happened to his son," Anzu said walking forward.
