1st draft with little to no editing.

Sorry that this is so short. I was going to wait until more scenes were added, but I don't know how long that would take so I decided to upload what I have so far.


When Ishizu and Rishid ran back to the room where Yugi had been kept, they found that the boy they were supposed to protect was gone, and in his place was Bakura, who was laying in a pool of his own blood. Ishizu tried to cover her nose as a smell similar to copper tried to fill her nostrils. Guilt washed over her once more as Rishid walked over to the body. If only she hadn't been so naïve. If only she had refused to leave the Pharaoh. Then maybe . . .

Rishid flipped Bakura onto his back and grimaced at the sight, forcing himself to close the boy's remaining eye. He had to admit that he did hate Bakura when they had first met, and he couldn't bring himself to feel sorry for him, but no one deserved such a fate as this.

"Pharaoh!"

Rishid turned his head and saw Yugi in the doorway, walking down the long hallway. "Wait!" He called out when Ishizu ran after the boy.

But she didn't listen, wanting to make up for the mistake she had made. This time she would personally protect him, never leaving his side.

When Ishizu reached him, she touched his shoulder, which caused him to stop. "My Pharaoh, are you alright? What happened when I-"

Ishizu looked down and saw a blade protruding through her stomach before she coughed out blood. Behind her, the Monster known as Gilford gripped the hilt of his weapon and sent a stream of electricity through the metal of the blade, which traveled into Ishizu. First her insides were roasted, and then it worked its way to the surface and turned her tanned skin to black, which began to peel off, revealing the red flesh underneath.

Rishid watched the Monster pull his sword out of her, allowing the burnt body to crumple to the floor, and he fell to his knees, staring at the charred corpse before looking at Yugi, who slowly turned to face him. The boy's face was a blank slate, void of all emotion, and his eyes remained wide open. And yet there were tears running down his cheeks. Was Yugi conscious of what was going on around him, but was powerless to stop it? Maybe he could reach him and help Yugi stop this madness.

Blood escaped Rishid's mouth and he tried to breathe, though it was proving difficult with the long blade that had pierced through the back of his neck and had broken through to the front. Rishid tried to speak, to use his last few moments to break the curse that was controlling Yugi, but was unable to as the Celtic Guardian pulled on his sword sharply to the left, slashing it out of Rishid's neck and nearly decapitating the Tomb Keeper.

As the Monster walked down the hall, blood dripping from his sword, Yugi walked over to Rishid and stared down at his rolled back eyes and the pitiful piece of skin that barely kept his head attached to the rest of his body. The puddle of blood grew in size and surrounded Yugi's sneakers before he turned around and followed his Monsters.


Kaiba felt himself growing impatient. If his men didn't dispose of the intruders before the potential buyers arrived . . .

The beeping from his phone broke his train of thought and he pressed the button. "What is it?"

"Mr. Kaiba!" It was one of his guards, and he sounded frantic. "Mr. Kai-!"

There was a loud growl, like that of a wild animal, and the man screamed before the sound of static took over.

"What's going on? Answer me!" But there was no answer. Did the intruders break into the security room?

Kaiba bolted out of his deceased stepfather's chair and burst out of the room. The lower half of a bloody corpse lay on the floor in front of him, a trail of crimson paw prints indicating that whatever had killed him went down the hall to the left; the same direction that Kaiba needed to go in order to reach the security room.

Not letting his fear get the best of him, Kaiba ran down the hall and made his way towards his destination. As he did, Kaiba asked himself what could have killed that man. Why was there only half of his body? And what had created those paw prints? No answers came to mind and before he knew it, he was facing the metal door. Kaiba reached for the extra key that was in his pocket when he heard something. He turned his head towards the sound and saw a large wolf, eyes black and soulless, and a muzzle and fangs that were dripping with blood. The two of them stared at each other, like a deadly staring contest - the first one to blink will never open their eyes again - until the wolf threw back his head and howled at the ceiling. When he did, Kaiba snapped himself out of the shock that had frozen his body and he hurriedly began unlocking the door. The wolf's ears twitched when he heard the noise and growled before running straight at Kaiba.

The door opened and Kaiba rushed inside, closing it behind him. A moment later the wolf rammed into it with a loud thud. The animal let out a low whimper, making Kaiba wonder if he had hurt himself when he collided with the door, and then all was silent. Kaiba allowed himself to let out a sigh of relief. What was a wolf doing here? Did the intruders bring it? But why?

Kaiba flipped up the light switch but the room remained pitch black. After grunting in frustration, he began carefully making his way further into the room. Hopefully the monitors were simply turned off and still worked.

A split second too late, Kaiba realized that he had stepped on a slippery surface and he felt himself falling until he hit the hard ground, which was covered with a warm and sticky liquid. When he tried to push himself up, his fingertips touched a cold object and he reached for it. It was one of his men's flashlights. He could even feel the Kaiba Corp logo engraved on it. Kaiba knew what he was going to see before turning it on: more blood.

Kaiba grimaced at the sight and the strong smell as he searched his surroundings. Here and there, he saw hunks of flesh scattered about, making it impossible to know who they belonged to. Not that he cared. All that mattered now was the monitors; if they still worked.

Making sure not to slip again, Kaiba walked over to the blank screens and sat down before switching them on. At first they merely flickered gray static before fading to black, but after a few seconds they came to life. What Kaiba saw could only be described as a slaughterhouse. Various body parts and flesh lay throughout the building, their blood either creating a pool around them or spattered on the walls. He glanced at the monitor for the room that the Pharaoh was kept it, and he saw the lifeless form of one of the prisoners that they had left for the Chopman. Who had done all this? And where was the Pharaoh? Kaiba saw something on one of the screens, and what he saw made him bolt up and stare at it with wide eyes. There was Yugi, walking at a slow pace down one of the hallways. And behind him was an army of creatures.

"What is this?"

More movement appeared on one of the screens, which revealed the hallway that was but a few feet away from the previous one.

"Mokuba."

Kaiba's little brother saw the carnage in front of him and covered his mouth as he forced himself to keep going. In a few more minutes he would run into Yugi and the army of monsters.

Kaiba left the safety of the security office and ran in the direction of Mokuba's location, hoping that he would make it in time.
