Millennium Adventure

Back on the Trail

*~*~*~*~*

            "You three check that passage and the rest of you go down that one," Seto said as he went down one of the passages with two other people.  'We'll find them no matter what it takes,' Seto thought.  'They may be sneaky, but they won't get away from me.'  Seto's group came to a fork in the tunnel.  He headed to the right and the two soldiers he was with headed to the left.  He walked until there was another split in the passage.  By instinct he went down the left passage.

            Seto kept walking deeper into the, seemingly, unending tunnel.  After a very long time he came to what looked like a dead end.  "This is obviously not the way they went," Seto said angrily.  He was about to turn back when he heard something from above him.  He looked up and saw a hole in the wall.  The hole was almost invisible so he didn't wonder how he didn't spot it before.

            Seto got into the hole and began to follow the passage.  He strained his ears for any noise that came from up ahead.  "Someone is close behind us," he, faintly, heard someone say just before the sounds of feet slamming against the floor were heard.  Seto ran around the corner to catch up with them, but found and heard nothing.  He slowed down and started walking again.  When he turned the next corner he found someone pointing an arrow at him with five other people behind him.

            "You just walked into a trap," the person pointing the arrow at him said.

            "Are there any more with you?"  Yugi asked.

            "No, my companions went down one of the side passages."

            "You don't need to hurt him Yami."  Seto looked at Yugi suspiciously.

            "Why would you help me?"

            "Would you rather me not?"

            "No, but I don't think your friend wants to even though you told him to let down his arrow."  Seto nodded toward Yami who still had the arrow pointed in his direction.

            "Yami put the arrow down!"

            "Why should I, this is the enemy."

            "He's only one.  Besides if we let him go back we'll be long gone by the time the whole army gets here."

            "You're the prince?"  Seto asked.

            "Yes," Yugi answered.

            "All the previous princes I have met always jumped straight to killing, why is it that you don't."

            "My father died when I was little.  I promised myself that I wouldn't let anyone suffer the same fate as him unless there was no other choice."

            "That is not the way Malik or his brother thinks," Seto said.  "They are truly evil.  I may be commander of his army, but that doesn't mean I'm loyal to him.  The only reason I am still with him is because if I was to turn on him, I would be dead."

            "You're welcome to join us."

            "I would, but my brother is still part of Malik's army."

            "Go back and get your brother.  We'll still be here unless there is any sign of the enemy."

            "Yugi, how do you know we can trust this man?" Yami questioned.

            "I can feel it."  Seto left to find Mokuba.

            'I could tell the army were they are and I would get a big reward,' Seto thought, "or I could join them and either get a better reward or die.  I don't know what to do.  I'll see what my brother thinks about this.'  After a while Seto came out of the tunnel.  He found Mokuba sitting at the edge of the pool in the center of all the tunnels.  He walked up to Mokuba to ask him what would be best.

            "Hello Mokuba."

            "Hi Seto, did you find anything?"

            "Yes, but this could be our chance to get away from this army," Seto whispered.

            "How?"

            "The prince is letting us go with them."

            "He would really do that?"

            "He is.  Do you want to go with them or turn them in?"

            "Let's go with them."

            "You sure?'

            "Yes!"  Seto and Mokuba casually walked into the tunnel that would lead to the group so no one would suspect them.  After they were out of sight they started running so that they could get their freedom quicker.  "Were do we go now?"  Mokuba asked when the reached the 'dead end.'

            "We go up," Seto said pointing to the hole in the wall.  Seto climbed into the hole then helped Mokuba up.  They traveled down the passage until they came to the prince and his friends.

            "See, I told you he could be trusted," Yugi said when Seto and Mokuba turned the corner without an entire army.

            "I'm still not so sure that I trust him," Yami commented.

            "Let's just get out of here," Anzu said.

            "Follow me," Yami said.  Everyone followed Yami since he was the only one who really knew the way out.  After a while the friends came to the end of the tunnel.  They traveled into the light of the day and out of the darkness of the tunnel.  There was a road that lay before them.

            "This is the trail that leads to the temple!"  Yugi practically shouted.

            "How do you know?"  Ryou asked.

            "See those markings on the trees?"

            "Yes so?"

            "If you look close enough you'll see that they are in the shape of this eye," Yugi said pointing to the eye on the Millennium Puzzle.  "This trail will lead us to the temple."
