Millennium Adventure

The Plan

*~*~*~*~*

            "You let those fools get away!?!"  Malik shouted at the new captain.

            "I'm sorry master, but they were fighting like madmen."

            "I will have none of your excuses."

            "Mercy master, please," the captain begged.

            "I give no mercy."  Before the captain could say anything else guards came and dragged him to his doom.

            The following day the people that were on the boat were holding a meeting.  They were discussing how they would defeat Malik and reclaim the country.

            "I think that it would be a good idea if we ambushed groups of soldiers that are sent out to look for us," Yami suggested.

            "That's a good idea, but we can't use the puzzle until all or almost all are there," Yugi stated.

            "Why?"  Yami questioned.

            "The power of the Millennium Puzzle can only be used once in each war.  It should only be needed once if it's used at the right time though," Yugi said.

            "Where did you find this information?"  Yami asked, knowing it wasn't in the temple.

            "I found it on the ship," Yugi replied.

            "Then we must somehow lure Malik out of the castle in order do win this war," Sagoruku said.

            "Yes we do, but we also need to figure out who is to unleash the power of the Millennium Puzzle," Yugi said.

            "You said the person must be determined, correct?"  Sagoruku said.

            "Yes, but the question is 'determined to do what?'" Yugi said.

            "If we don't choose right the first time, this war could end," Yami said.

            "Wait a minute," Anzu suddenly said, "Do we still have the key to the castle?"

            "Yes, it's right here," Yugi said holding up the key.

            "I have a plan," she said excitedly.

            "What's the plan?"  Sagoruku asked anxiously.

            "Well, I think that instead of trying to get Malik outside of the castle we should go in.  We would probably be able to shoot the guards down and then get inside without anyone noticing we are there.  Then we could find Malik and force him to leave or else we kill him."

            "What if we are noticed?" Yami asked

            "Then it would turn into a battle, but it wouldn't be too hard to retreat."

            "That sounds like a good plan then," Yami said, "and, if it's okay with Yugi, I would like to see if I am the one who can unlock the power of the puzzle."

            "Yes," Yugi replied knowing he could not say no.

            "When should we put this plan into action?"  Sagoruku asked.

            "Not too soon," Yami replied, "we want to wait until they don't have their guard up which would be at least a week."

            "Until then we should probably go around the villages in our country asking for their help," Yugi said.

            "Good idea, we'll send some people out tomorrow, for today we'll just relax for we had a very long day yesterday," Sagoruku stated.

            For the rest of the day everyone sat around and talked.  King Sagoruku got to know more about his other grandson who he had been introduced to when they reached the ship the day before.  Ryou and Bakura found out that they were brothers and talked with their father much of the day.  The only one not relaxing was Yugi, he went down to the room with many scrolls and began looking in them for any hint on who the person who was to unlock the magic in the puzzle really was.
