Chapter 48: Lights
"Um, guys, sorry to interrupt the whole majestic transformation and all but it looks like Leviathan is gearing up for another attack. And this time we may not be so lucky!" Joey said pointing towards the beast.
"Brace yourselves." Joey continued.
"My Queen, prepare for defense!" She nodded and stood in front of us. Then she looked to the sky, eyes now glowing as a loud roar left her throat. Soon there after, the strange colored lights appeared in the sky. Did she do that? No she couldn't have this is the first time I've summoned here and the lights have appeared before. However, the timing was uncanny.
"It's just like that night, when the gateway was first opened." Yugi stated; perhaps he was trying to make sense of it as well.
There were tons of little pink and purple orbs floating in the sky as they descended from the strange occurrence. Did my dragon call for help? They started flying towards the beast and I saw duel monsters inside. They would land and attack the Leviathan but sadly, it didn't seem like it would be enough.
"They're helping us." Yugi said astounded.
"Well are you dorks gonna just stand there or do you think you can act like men for a change?" I chuckled and noted that Seto was antagonizing to get the spark needed to win.
"I'll show you a dork!" Joey said summoning Gearfried, Rocket Warrior, and Gilford the Lightening. Seto went next summoning his XYZ Dragon Cannon, Blade Knight, and Kaiser Seahorse.
"I'll summon my Athena Fairy, Angel of Zera, and Sky Phoenix!" I said summoning my next three monsters. Yugi then added his Black Luster Solider, Buster Bladder, and Valkrion.
"That thing is toast; no way it could survive this butt kicking!" Joey said proudly as the warriors all attacked the beast, adding to the onslaught from the monsters. However, Dartz had other plans.
"You'll have to do better than that." As Dartz spoke, the spikes on the beast started beaming spikes towards our creatures destroying them all without hesitation.
"Guys, it looks like we're gonna need a plan 'B'."
"More like a plan 'E'." I said sarcastically. The shower of spikes continued on but our knights, and my Queen of Dragons remained strong.
"It's not over yet, that sideshow freak still has to get past our knights and Rika's Dragon." They each stood in front of their master acting as our last hope of defense. Dartz then focused his attack on them. Sadly, even they couldn't withstand the direct focused attack and were destroyed as well. The blast knocked us back.
"So much for your last line of defense." Dartz's voice taunted us.
"That does it, bring it on you mutant." Joey shouted, shaking his fist.
"Can it Wheeler." I said looking at the blonde. Now was not the best time to instigate our enemy, who at the moment held a distinct advantage.
"Not the best time to be insulting him Joey." Yugi added.
Suddenly, four tentacle-like appendages shout out from the beast's side and towards us. I jumped out of the way dodging the first attempt but sadly, I was taken as well. It felt like slime but more durable and shaped as it wrapped around my arms and waist.
"This is gross!" Joey yelled.
"Not to worry, you are about to be reunited with your friends. They're all waiting for you." Dartz said as we neared the Great Beast. We were soon pulled into the side of the beast that was made of the same type of substance. I nearly vomited at the combined sensations.
"They're all waiting for you inside the belly of the beast!" I narrowed my eyes and tried to free myself by wiggling my arms. But every movement caused its grip to become tighter.
"I'm afraid your resistance is futile young Rika, push all you want, it will only quicken your travels. In a few short moments your energy will be absorbed by the Great Leviathan. But don't take it from me…" Soon I heard the faint voices of everyone we have encountered from Mai and Valon, to Alister and Raphael. They were crying out for help.
"Oh no, we're too late. What Dartz said is true. Everyone he caught is inside of that monster." Joey said almost defeated.
"Yeah, we'll I'm not about to let him do the same to me without a fight." Seto said before starting to struggle against his own binding.
"I hate to point out the obvious, but you're waist deep in the Leviathan's Pit of Despair and sinking fast. Fighting back isn't exactly an option!"
"Oh man, if we don't think of something pretty quickly, he wins." Joey said looking down before a new fire burned in his eyes.
"We've come too far. Got that?! We're not giving up!" Joey then shouted towards the head of the beast. As if to silence his opposition, the beast absorbed more of Joey's body, up to his neck.
"Yugi! We can't let them down! Everyone in there is counting on us to stop this guy! There's got to be something we can do!"
"Oh that helps, thanks!" Seto said sarcastically and soon it was his turn to be pulled in further.
"I'm sinking!"
"Seto! No!" I said managing to break one hand free and grab his.
"How cute, you two are so dedicated, even in the end." I heard Dartz taunt us and suddenly we were both fully covered in the slime. We were released on the other side. I pulled on Seto's hand and his eyes found mine before he wrapped his arms around me to hold on. Joey was not far from us as we floated around in what seemed like open air and darkness. I felt coldness filling my body and I felt myself losing strength and energy.
"Everyone listen to me! Each one of us is a glimmer of light in this sea of shadows. Alone we may seem insignificant but combined together we could radiate enough energy to conquer the darkness. Now please if you can hear me, focus on the light in your heart. It's the only way to save ourselves. Remember those you care about, those who have helped you, what you fought for, and why you never gave up." Yugi's speech made me open my eyes as lights flashed past me and towards him. I looked up at Seto remembering why I was here. I was here for Seto, for Mokuba, to support my brother…I was here because of love.
"Yugi, I trust you, take my light filled with love and support." I said looking up at Seto as a small orb of light left my chest and went towards him as well.
"My strength, take it before I lose it all for good." Joey said calling out, his orb was red in color and the biggest I have seen so far, that is…until I saw Seto look down at me.
"Take mine too, and don't screw this up Yugi!" His orb was not yellow or red like the others, it was a white, almost blue, and the brightest out of everyone. I smiled as I felt weak and let myself collapse into Seto.
"In the name of the Pharaoh, awaken from your ancient slumber; now I call forth the 3 Gods of Egypt." The light surrounded us and we were thrown from the monster and landed safely back on the ground…well except for Joey, he landed face first. My arms never left Seto, feeling still weak.
"I've got you." He whispered in my ear.
"Seto, your light was so bright, even stronger than Joey's…" I whispered.
"Do you doubt my love for you? for Mokuba?" He pulled me closer.
"No…I was just surprised is all." I said turning to lean into his side as we faced Dartz.
"How'd you get us out of there Yug?" Joey asked.
"By summoning, them." Yugi said looking up at the sky.
I suddenly saw blue lights…Obelisk.
Ride lights…Slifer.
Finally Gold lights… the Winged Dragon of Ra.
"It's the Egyptian God Cards…" Joey said in awe.
"Yeah, we know who they are." Seto said bluntly.
The Leviathan growled at the Gods and then shot straight up towards the clouds. So they're taking the fight away from us. Yugi's puzzle lit up before a golden orb shot up towards the battle. I just hope the Gods can defeat them. I could hear multiple roars and see many light flashes. It was quite the fight going on up there. Yugi looked extremely worried as his eyes never left the clouds.
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard and I had to cover my ears. Then the clouds opened and the great snake fell towards the ocean. White, pink, and yellow orbs now flew through the air. Some beamed off in different directions others fell into the sea.
"Hey look! I guess the Gods did pull through!" Seto said pointing.
"Told ya, that means everyone Dartz captured is free."
The sky started to clear of clouds and the sun could shine once more. However, my peaceful thoughts were disrupted as the ground began to tremble and the water around us started to wave.
"Why do we always end up on unstable places." I said looking around us.
"Oh man, now what?" Joey asked. As a pillar near us shattered, we started running.
"This place is going down!"
"Then why are we still here?" Seto asked, grabbing my hand and running faster.
"Quick back to the portal!"
"Look there it is, the passage that led us here!" Yugi said pointing towards the blue vortex.
"Alright, home sweet home, here we come!" Joey shouted as he continued to sprint.
Joey ran through the portal first, followed shortly by Seto and me. The feeling this time wasn't as odd because I knew what to expect and before I could process it, we were back in the temple. We continued running towards the others and soon the light of day welcomed us.
There you have it! This is the second to last chapter in part 2! Chapter 49 will just wrap up the end of the season and have some inner monologue from Rika...But in all honesty, I can not wait until the start of part 3! ^.^
