Me: Sweet man, I got some nice reviews despite my long absense. Awesome! :D Creature: Ferocious just wanted to thank everybody who reviewed. We really loved them. Me: Yes we did. So, now let us continue the story shall we? Last time: The jail break! Annabi: And this time, the plan that they have been talking about is finally commencing! Enjoy!
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! The alarm sounded off. Gaurds were everywhere, looking for only one criminal. The Innocent Man, Yugi Motou.
"Come on men, he can't have gotten far!" yelled a guard. Tons of men were searching the entire prison. Just where could Yugi be? Yugi had escaped. When roll call had started, everyone had realized that Yugi was not in his cell. Of course, Yugi had escaped the night before. The middle aged tri colored haired man had tunneled though the sewers, digging thorugh piss and shit that stank worse then Satan's breath. Yet he made it anyway.
Once Yugi Motou was out of the sewers, and into the little river, he swam to land. Still knee deep in water, the shit and piss was washing off of him because of the rain. Thunder roared and wind howled. Lightning screamed out through the night. Still running, Yugi ripped off his prison shirt, his breath coming out in horrendous gasps. Now his chest was naked, and Yugi finally stopped running long enough to catch his breath. Falling to his knees, Yugi chuckled like a slave who just escaped his masters. Still laughing, Yugi threw his arms up, and screamed in joy; he let the rain pound into him, cleansing his soul, washing away his injustice. The lightning screeched thorughout the night, joining in Yugi's screams for redemption. He had finally done it! He was free! Over twenty years of imprisonment had not broken Yugi's spirit. No, his heart still pounded through his rib cage, and his soul still cried out for freedom. He is alive and well, in sweet liberty.
Relishing in the moment, Yugi knelt there for what seemed like forever; he never wanted this moment to end. "Forever I roam, take me home, let me be; Liberty bring, what I sing, throw the key; Oh Lord please, i'm on my knees; Set Me Free." Yugi whispered to the rain, the Gods, nature, and anything else that was listening. A light surged through Yugi's being, as his soul released itself from the body. At long last, finally free, Yugi Motou was going home.
Yugi wasn't scared though. He knew this man was Atem; his most special person in the whole universe.
Atem raised his face from the crook in Yugi's shoulder to stare into his amythest eyes. "I-Nur, what's the matter? You okay?"
"Yeah... I'm fine...," Yugi mumbled tiredly. He yawned contently. "So, wait a minute!" Yugi shouted, sitting up. "We made it? We're actually doing this! Seriously!"
"Shh, my love. Calm down, we went over this last night!" Atem exasperated. "This is real. We got out, and the plan is under way."
Calming down, Yugi whispered,"Sorry..."
Atem chuckled. "Don't worry about it Yugi. It's all good."
Yugi hummed. "Y'know, I had this very strange dream. I escaped the prison, all by myself, tunneling through to the sewers, then I made it to the river, and I said this beautiful prayer... I can't remember it..."
Blinking, Atem said,"Wow, sounds like the Shawshank Redemption. Cool."
"Yeah..." Yugi said distantly. He then yawned. "Alright, let's get up. Time to do this."
-Later That Morning-
The whole gang had arrived in Egypt days ago. Now they were in an secret hideout, under ground, with top security. No one could get in or out.
"Where the hell's the bathroom!" Joey shouted. He had searched all over the place, and saw no bathroom.
Bandit Keith grumbled,"Just hold it in you dumbass!"
Joey complained,"I can't man! I gots to take a shit!"
"SHHH!" Bakura shushed.
Marik said,"Yeah, keep your voice down. Everyone's trying to work."
The base had a lot of Arabic men and women at computers, so it was very busy.
Atem and Yugi showed up, and everyone greeted them exuberntly.
"What's up!" "Hey guys!" "Up late, huh?"
Yugi smiled at everyone brightly. "Hey everyone. Now look, we are going to be going over the most important details of the plan today. Okay?"
They all nodded.
Atem announced,"Also, the one who is our 'lutenient' in all this is this man, right here." He swept his arm out wide.
The gang gazed at the man who appeared from the shadows up the corridor. He stood tall, around six feet, wore a black Arabic uniform, and a turban. In face, he had a thick gray beard, and shady blue eyes.
"Everyone, this man is Shadi. He will be leading us in our little adventure." Atem said proudly.
Shadi coughed a little. "Alright everyone, if you'll follow me please, we can get everything sorted out. Any questions, please ask-"
"Where's the bathroom?" asked Joey desperately.
Blinking, Shadi said,"Down that way, to the right."
"THANK GOD!" Joey screamed in relief. As he ran, he passed some arabic people and shouted,"THANK RA!"
They all laughed at Joey's antics.
Atem laughed,"Let's get started shall we Shadi? You have brought the items requested right?"
"Of course my Pharaoh," replied Shadi. "Let us all go to this table, and examine them."
At the special table, one of the soldiers carrying a case, emptied the contents of the case onto the table.
Everyone gasped. Yugi's eyes glowed. "These are..."
"...The Millenium Items..." Atem whispered.
Oggling the items like children, Mako reached out to touch one when Shadi slapped his hand away.
SLAP! "OW!" "Do not touch the items without the Pharaohs permission!" yelled Shadi.
Bakura snickered,"Dinkus."
Marik asked,"Is that broken one the Millenium Puzzle?"
Shadi looked at the half completed Puzzle with a rueful eye.
Atem explained for him. "Look gang, since most of you have forgotten the details of the plan, here it goes: the Millenium Items are the keys to dark power. The puzzle is the most powerful, and also, over the course of thirty ears, no one could really solve it. So Shadi and his men have been trying to solve it through scientific means. Everyone understand?"
The gang nodded their heads. Hassan rumbled,"Only the chosen one may truly the solve the puzzle my Pharaoh."
Nodding, Atem said,"Yes Hassan; we just don't know who the 'Chosen One' may be."
Shadi then whispered,"My Pharaoh..."
Everyone gawked over Atems shoulder. Atem turned around, and gaped like a fish at what he saw.
Yugi held the puzzle, and inserted the last piece. It was completed! The millenium puzzle was finally completed!
"Y-Yugi! You actaully..." Atem whispered amazed. Every single person in the room gazed on in surprise and wonder at Yugi.
Smirking, Yugi said,"What? I was a beast at the rubics cube. This wasn't that hard."
-Five Minutes Later-
They all celebrated with wine, food, and music. It was to be a glorious day with the puzzle finally completed.
As everyone talked, laughed, and had a good time, Yugi walked over to the table with the Items. He remembered how his grand father loved to talk about Egypt and all of its wonders.
Yugi had a feeling that everyone felt the same way he did. They were all free. It had been a week already, and he still wasn't used to it. He kind of missed the confinement, he was so messed up. Still though. He was certain that he would enjoy his freedom.
Back to the items, Yugi examined each one carefully. He really liked the puzzle; their was a necklace, and ring, a rod, a key, a scales, an eye...
Wait a minute, was that really an eye ball? Yugi looked at the Millenium Eye curiously, holding it with care in both hands.
'What a strange item.' Yugi thought absently. Then suddenly, it hit him. Like a fucking train filled with the heaviest iron.
Atem was sipping a glass of red wine, when he felt someone tap his shoulder. He looked over, and saw Yugi who looked like he saw a ghost.
"Hey Yugi! How's I-Nur doing?" Atem asked happily.
Yugi then held up the Millenium Eye and asked lowly,"Where and how did you get this?"
Atem couldn't hear him over the music. "What? Hang on a sec." He then yelled,"Cut the music!"
The music died.
"Alright, now what was you question Aibou?" Atem asked kindly.
Yugi repeated harshly,"Where and how did you get the Millenium Eye! You stole it didn't you!"
Blinking, Atem put down his drink. "Whoa, Yugi calm down-"
"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!" Yugi screamed. Nearly everybody jumped at the volume of Yugi's voice.
Atem stared at Yugi in shock. What got into him?
Yugi nearly growled,"This eye had once belonged to Maximillion Pegasus! I should know because I used to work for him! He's the guy I got framed for murdering!"
Gulping Atem stammered,"S-So, then... What d-does that m-mean?..."
"It means I have figured it all out Atem. The whole reason I got framed, and locked away in prison was because of YOU!"
Atem was sweating bullets now. He gulped again. "Y-Yugi... please try to understand-"
"Understand what! That you framened me! You didn't kill Pegasus directly, you hired Shadi and some other guys to do the job! You wanted to collect all of the items, for your damn plan! Then, your men made it look like I did it! They drugged me, the random ass guy who just so happened to be there! The attempted rape on Tea, was just an added bonus!" Yugi accused.
Rex whispered to Weevil,"He figured all that out by himself in how many minutes?..."
Yugi was shaking in a rage,"And Kaiba knew the whole thing too i'll bet!"
Seto coughed, then looked away.
Tearing up, Yugi blubbered,"Atem... It's your fault that I was trapped in the first place!"
Atem rambled,"But Yugi! I didn't know it was you! I didn't even know you! Shadi never told me who he framed, so I wouldn't know!"
"IT DOESN'T MATTER!" Yugi screamed in pain. He fell to his knees, sobbing with sorrow and betrayal.
Atem just stood there, staring at Yugi sadly. The rest of the gang looked dreadful as well.
Joey then bursted into the room yelling,"MAN! That was a good dump! I swear man, I feel ten pounds lighter!"
Then Joey noticed Yugi sobbing, and everyone else looking like crap. "Hey, what happened?"
