~Chapter 11~




As Yami shuffled his deck, his and Yugi's minds raced in a mix of many emotions. Many phrases like, 'Will Jou and Seto be OK?' 'How will we get back their souls?' 'How are we going to get out of this mess?' 'Pegasus will pay dearly.' and 'If I don't win...' Yami closed his eyes in fustration. I wish that Pegasus never brought us to this stupid island. Then, things would be the same..

"Oh well, what's done is done," Pegasus said with a smirk, his milliuem eye glowing a bit.

Yami's crimson-violet eyes snapped open. What? Why did he say that? How... Yami shook his head, placing down his deck. No time for this now, I have to save my friends!

Yami looked up, with ditermination written on his face as noticable as a science note written on a chalkboard, and shouted out with a slight growl, "Let's duel, Pegasus!"

Pegasus continued to smirk as just above them, a score board popped out, and both of their lifepoints rising up to 2000.

Yami glimpsed upwards, then drew some cards from his deck, as Pegasus rapidly shuffled his deck of cards, and drew five as well. Yami glanced over his cards-- He had in his hand Celtic Guardian, Dark Hole, Kuriboh, Spell Binding Circle, and Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress. As he looked the cards over, a plan formed in his mind. Too bad he didn't notice Pegasus' eye glowing...

Jounouchi did, though. He weakly looked up at Pegasus, and his eyes widened, or at least one did as the other was barely open, and he clutched onto his wounded shoulder. "Yugi...I'm not sure what he's doin', but please be prepared.." Jounouchi whispered, barely able to be louder than a mouse. He clutched on his shoulder a bit tighter trying to rid himself of the pain; he was a bit dizzy, but he had to hold on..

Yami looked up, not hearing Jounouchi's low comment, and proclaimed, "You can go first, Pegasus."

Without a reply, Pegasus looked over his cards briefly. He looked up, and declared, "I place one card face down," --with one motion placed the card on the field as the computer chip in the system scanned it over-- "And I also play Armored Lizard in attack mode." He placed that card down as well, reveiling a roaring Armored Lizard a few seconds later on the field, and looked back at Yami expectantly.

Yami closed his eyes for a split second, and then opened them again. "I also place one card face down, and I also place Celtic Guardian in defence mode!" he shouted out, and did what he promised his would do. "Your move."

Pegasus then quickly shouted out, "Attack the Celtic Guardian, Armored Lizard!" The blue coloured lizard roared a battle cry, and raced towards the crouching Celtic Guardian. All seemed to be in Pegasus' favour, until Yami smirked, "You activate my trap card-- Spell binding circle! It stops the lizard in it's tracks, unable to attack, and it's attack points go down by 700!" Just as Yami had said, the Armored Lizard was captured, and it's attack points went down to 800.

"Oh, no! Not my Armored Lizard!" Pegasus cried sarcasticly, covering his face with his hand for extra effect.

"Go ahead and mock me if you wish," snarled Yami, "But you won't be so sarcastic when I switch my Celtic Guardian into attack mode," --Yami did so-- "And then destroy the lizard! Attack!" Celtic Guardian raised his sword high into the air, and then ran towards Armored Lizard. When he reached the reptile, he slashed down with heavy force his sword onto the Armored Lizard...

...But to no avail. With a confused look, Yami asked in a whisper, "What?"

Pegasus chuckled. "Sorry, Yugi-boy, but I activated my trap card," Pegasus flipped over the card he had placed face down before, making Yami gasp. "That's right, Yugi- boy, Reverse Trap. The effects of your trap card Spell Binding Circle are now gone, bringing my Armored Lizard back up to 1500 attack points, and able to attack your Celtic Guardian. Not to mention destroy it." Yami growled a bit, as Pegasus shouted, "Attack Armored Lizard! Destroy Celtic Guardian!" Armored Lizard obeyed Pegasus' commanded, and slashed down on the shell-shocked Celtic Guardian. He roared out, before he burst out into millions of pieces.

Pegasus: 2000 Yami: 1900

Yami's eyes were wide in disbelief, even though his frown of disapproval still showed. Whoa, he knew just what I was going to play, Yugi thought, But...how? How can that be? Maybe he was just lucky.. Yami shook his head, drawing another card from his deck. I hope he was, anyway. Yami shook his head a bit, as he started to try and figure out a new plan..

...And once again failing to notice Pegasus' eye glowing...

Yami then placed one card face down, and Kuriboh in defence mode, in which doing so, he stated what he had done. Pegasus smirked; this was too easy.

Yami glanced back at Pegasus. "Your move."




Meanwhile...




"Your move.."

The distant, echoing phrase rang through Anzu's eardrums, making her blink in confusion. Well, that was random... She thought, But I think I've finally cracked; I keep on hearing Yugi's, or his Yami's, I'm not quite sure, in my head. She shook her head a bit. But, he's...dead...but, at the same time, I have a feeling inside of me he's alive. And espically after what Honda told me, that Jou had run off...no doubt to try and save Yugi, Anzu sighed. I wish I knew what had happened. I'm getting really worried. Jou may have trouble following him wherever he goes, but even he has enough sense to stay out of harms way...or does he? Anzu shook her head again. I'm seriously confusing myself with all of these mixed up thoughts here...well, whatever, just...please be careful, Yugi..

Suddenly, Anzu was snapped out of her trance when a sudden buzzing from around her. At first, she just thought her ears ringing, but then noticed that the other slaves who were working around her were acting like they had heard it too; seriously confused; this had never happened before!

Anzu looked around herself, and saw all of the guards scattering, and running in every direction under definition. She nearly got knocked over by one female one, who was shouting random words in chinese. Normally, no one around her would know what the hell she was talking about, but Anzu had learned a bit of chinese from her older brother, who had passed away a year before Pegasus took her and the rest of her family from their homes[1]. She understood a few words like 'missing' and 'Pegasus' and even 'three boys'. Anzu's blue eyes widened as Honda grabbed her arm. She wasn't aware of that though..

"Yugi," she whispered in a low voice.

This can't be good...




Back with Pegasus and Yami...




"Your move."

Pegasus smirk widened a little bit more as Yami stated that. Nice try, Yugi-boy, but I see all, and know all. he thought confidently. But, he instead shouted out mockingly, "Oh, my gosh! Kuriboh! Oh, my world is about to crumble around me..!" Pegasus gave out a small chuckle.

"I'm starting to tire of your sarcasm, Pegasus," Yami snarled, gripping his hand of cards a bit tightly in annoyance.

"Oh, really? Funny, I'm not," Pegasus said in an almost innocent tone, but still with the same smirk which told otherwise.

"Just make your move."

"Fine then," huffed Pegasus fakely. He drew a card, then said, "I place down de-spell," He placed it down, then looked up. "And I use it to send your magic card, dark hole, to the graveyard." Pegasus laughed quietly when he saw Yami's eyes widen in surprise, his trademark smirk vanishing from his face.

"H-how did you--" stuttered Yami, but was cut off by Pegasus.

"Simple as this-- I see all, and know all."

Yami held back a gasp from the back of throat staring right into Pegasus' eyes, namely his milliuem eye, almost the exact same way Yugi had done the back in his village just before being taken prisinor by the evil man. Trying to keep his cool, he shook his head a little, and he averted his gaze back to his cards held in his suddenly slightly sweaty hands. It's...just not possible, thought Yugi desperately.

//Aibou, I think it is possible,//

/What do you mean?/

//Aibou, I may have very little memory of my past, but I at least know the milliuem items' powers, at least, I think I do. But the Eye...I vaguely remember that one of it's powers is that it can read minds.//

/W-what?? Then...that means.../

//He could be reading our minds right now, and can do so whenever he wants to; which means, he knows our every move, before we can even make the action itself.//

/...Ah...darn...[2]/




Now with your friendly neighbourhood Jounouchi...[3]




"Simple as this-- I see all, and know all."

Jounouchi's brown eyes widened at that; he may have not been the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knew what Pegasus meant by that last comment. Jounouchi wasn't really the type to believe that kind of stuff, but after everything in the past few months...well, he was a believer now!

"Yugi, watch out! He means what he says!" he choaked out feebly; the loss of blood was really getting to him now; his world around him was starting to swirl a little, making him feel nausious and want to vomit. Espicially right on Pegasus' shoes, he thought wildly. I hope they'd be brand new, 'cause that would really make him squeal like the little girly he is,

He then shook his head gently, trying not to bring on a migrane. "Man, I must be really outta it," he murmured to himself, using his bloody hand to hold on his face. But, he soon realized that, and pulled it away from his head as if there was a bee there, and it had just stung him. He glanced over his hand, and his nose wrinkled in disguist. "Eeew," he complained in a soft voice.




Back with--how'd you guess?--Pegasus and Yami...




Yami blinked his crimson-violet eyes in confusion as he heard a faint calling. "Jou?" he whispered to himself numbly. He looked back towards Jounouchi, who was currently examining his blood covered hand, and his shoulder bleeding like crazy. Yami narrowed his eyes; he heard what Jounouchi had said(barely), and now he some how knew it must be true. Pegasus could read minds! And, because of Pegasus, many lives were destroyed, including Jii-chan's, and his father's. Not only that, but he was holding many innocent people prisnors to be his slaves, and was now holding two of his friends lives at risk, including Mokuba, and so far to his knowledge, was one of his friend's little brother. Yami gritted his teeth. I'll get you all out of here, he thought grimly, If it's the last thing I do.

"Which it probably will, Yugi-boy," smirked Pegasus, then said casually, "But, since it's still my turn, I'll have my Armored Lizard just attack little Kuriboh over there." Pegasus pointed towards the fure ball, who looked like it was starting sweat underneath it's brown fur coat. He then boomed, "Attack, my Armored Lizard!"

The Lizard obeyed, and then slashed at the furball, destroying it with a small squeal.

Yami snarled a bit, covering up his worry. Now what? Pegasus is...unbeatable...how can I stand a chance against somebody who can read minds?? Yugi thought, as Yami shut his eyes tiredly.

//We have to fight on, Yugi! If we don't, everyone loses!//

/But, if we do, we'll lose anyway! Yami, it's...hopeless../

//Yugi, we have to believe! Beleive in the heart of the cards! Remember what I taught you? If you have faith in the cards, we'll always come out on top!//

/Heart of the cards..? Yes, that's right. The heart of the cards!/

Yami's eyes snapped open. "Alright, Pegasus, even if things seem hopeless, I'm going to beat you at your sick little game!"

Pegasus chuckled, amused. "Nice speech there, Yugi-boy, but it's going to take more than that to beat the awesome power of my milliuem eye!" Then, Pegasus cackled once more, leaving Yami feebly keeping hope that things would turn out alright in the end.
