This was two chapters but I've decided to stick them together, aren't I nice.
Flamed: I don't think so!
Pet: *Roars agreement*
Congratulations to Indigo Tantarian who guessed that the babysitter was The Magician Of Black Chaos!
ShadowFire Thank you now if you could just tell that to the person who failed me in my English Exam.(Flamed: Don't start ranting I doubt they want to hear it.)
Koriku Well no new members to the group for a while but there will be and in this chapter you'll see that not everyone is out to get them. Pet :*Roar* Translation: No just most of the shadow realm.
Fani90 Well here's your update, I shouldn't be so long between updated I have a few chapters in advance but they need to be edited because I've changed the ending.
The Pyro Wanna-Be Sorry bit like Seto Kiaba once said. "This is war and in war you've got to expect casualties " Speaking of Kiaba he's causing Havoc in the Shadow realm and doesn't even know it, not that the runaways are complaining. ^_^ (Flamed: I'm certainly not If it wasn't for him she. C.A. : Shut up your giving away the plot!)

"Another one of them lost, but there can be no morning in amongst the battle. The group is spilt in two, Those still fighting and those being hunted. This is no game this is life, or death, so there is no forfeit and no surrender. Fight or flight they are the only options open save death."
"Aren't you being a bit Melodramatic?"
"....Shut up."

CHAPTER 6 - THE BLACK LUSTRE KNIGHT.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Change of Heart flew around the fight looking for a suitably strong monster to take over to help the fight But she was getting tried, slowing down. Suddenly something grabbed her from behind.
"My, my, so your the one who stole from the Castle don't you know Magic Cards aren't meant to fight?"
Change of Heart grinned the attacker wasn't perfect but maybe she could use it to get closer to something else. She fell into the Monsters hold, into the monsters heart.
Change of Heart was now in control of a Magical Ghost a Zombie card, She shuddered. Still as Zombie cards go it could be worse, at least this one didn't have any rotten flesh hanging off it.
Pretending to be hurt she made her way slowly to the enemy lines. When she had taken over the Dragon knight she had been assaulted but the twin minds of the Curse of Dragon and Gaia, each would swap with the other confusing her and stopping her from getting any useful information, Change of Heart made a mental note not to take over any more Fusion monsters. Then again The Empress Judge was a fusion monster and she had been easy to take information from...unless...
She wanted to take advantage of a situation and fed Change of Heart false information about this Hunting group.
Change of Heart panicked as she dug around in the ghost's memories. The Black Lustre night might have been one of strongest monster here but his orders was to draw the Magician of Black Chaos from the fight which thanks to Change of Heart, he had done just that. And he wasn't the strongest. The Blue-Eyes White Dragons were waiting for them.
A Zombie Dragon cut across Change of Hearts path, the Skull knight was on it's back, Perfect a lovely strong monster and it was a flipping fusion monster again.
"You think you can fool me!"
The Skull knight slashed at her, he must have seen her take over the Ghost. Did he have another Sword of Dark Destruction?
The Knight slashed at her again and Change of Heart dodged. It was!
The Skull Knight hadn't expected her to attack while in a monster weaker than him but she did, but she jumped ship so to say at the last moment and grabbed the sword out of his hand and fled as fast as she could.
Now she was really tried...she could barely keep herself in the air. She held the sword in one hand and no matter how hard or how much she flapped her tired wings, she couldn't gain any height.
Some one took hold of her other wrist.
She turned to see Harpy lady. "Getting greedy? You want a sword and a whip?"
Change of Heart sighed. The was no choice really she just hoped she didn't freak Harpy Lady out to much.
"Take the sword to...Dark...Magician...Blue-Eyes here...somewhere." Change of Hearts double voice struggled to say.
"No wonder you don't speak much Heart." Harpy Lady said. "Those two voices are going to take time to get used too. If I let you go will you be able to land with out crashing?"
Change of Heart nodded glad that Harpy Lady had taken her strange voice almost in stride. She gave the sword to the out stretched talon before she was released to glide down to the woods.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Harpy Lady was fast...not as fast as her poor beloved Dragon but she was fast enough and agile enough to get to the Dark Magician with ease.
"Dar! Heart sends her regards!" Harpy Lady tossed the sword to the Dark Magician. "And Watch out there's a Blue-Eyes around here somewhere."
Dark Nodded He held his staff in one hand and the sword in the other. Harpy Lady Circled the fight. She saw Dark Magician Girl kill the Skull Knight that Change of Heart stole the sword from. Then she came face to face with an adult Dark Witch.
With her Armour she was stronger than the adult witch but before she could attack a red winged male harpy attacked, diving between the two.
"Brother!" Harpy Lady gasped [1]
"Dark Witch She's my sister and I'm the one who shall fight her!" Harpy Lady's Brother. The Dark Witch huffed and flew away.
"What are you doing?" Harpy demanded.
"She had a spell binding circle on her." Her brother said. "I may not agree with you running like this but I don't want you dead, Now attack me and get out of here."
Harpy blinked. She attacked clawing at his chest.
"Thank you." she whispered to him before he fell to the ground and out of the fight.
A dark fire dived at her and she dodged above the trees. The dark fire dragon stopped following and harpy Lady wondered why when a Blue-Eyes White Dragon launched itself out from the trees.
"By Osirs!" Harpy lady screeched trying to get out of the way. She never could though the dragon was bigger stronger faster...It opened it's mouth ready to blast Harpy Lady, before it roared and faded from sight.
"NO! Doesn't the Dragon Duellist know the damage he's caused!" Shouted a voice. "What is he duelling again for? He just won the last one!"
Harpy Lady realising that she was still alive turned to see who had spoken she found herself face to face with the Empress Judge, this time riding the Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress.

In the woods Neo the Magical Swords man ran for his life with the Red Archery Girl huddled in her clam under his arm. Baby Dragon and Dark Witch flying along the ground behind them.
He had seen Change of Heart take over Gaia the Dragon knight and throw the Black Lustre Knight off. The knight may be strong but he sure couldn't fly.
The Magical Swordsman didn't wait to see if the Black Lustre Knight could survive the fall from the fight in the air but he didn't wait to see. He had been running non stop, his lungs were burning but he wasn't going to stop running, he was no match for the knight and he had the Red Archery Girl to look after.
In the distance he could hear trees falling as the knight chopped down the trees in his way was he chased them.
_______________________________________________________________________________
"Wait a minuet I thought The Magician of Black Chaos was looking for them!" Hope demanded.
"I er he was...He just hasn't found them yet."
Hope looked at the Babysitter suspiciously. "Tell me more about him. Carl"
Carl smiled. "Rash and sometimes impulsive, yet aged beyond his years though the run, The Magician of Black Chaos is the strongest of them all, the only one who had a chance of surviving this battle, or indeed wining it, is now the only hope for those weaker than himself which have found themselves as pray for the Black Lustre Knight. Yet he is just a teenager, he rushed to their aide without plan or thought, and that will prove to his disadvantage. Can he defeat his opponent or will he pay for his impulsiveness with the blood of his friends?"
_______________________________________________________________________________
The Magician of Black Chaos landed near to cooling headless corpse of Harpy's Pet Dragon. He Patted the dragon on the shoulder in farewell before running though the trees to find The Magical Swordsman Baby Dragon, Dark Witch, and the Red Archery Girl.
"Baby! Red! Itch! Neo!" He called. "Red Neo! Can you hear me? Itch! Baby!"
He didn't see the black shadow watching him from the braches of a tree.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Harpy Lady dived weaved and turned though the sky but she just couldn't lose the Empress Judge and the dragon. She skimmed the top of the trees to see if the dragon was brave enough to follow.
It wasn't, but it wasn't about to risk the wrath of the monster on it's back ether. The Empress Judge had her way and the dragon's blue belly came dangerously close to the tree tops.
"I'll show you why you shouldn't keep a dragon unless you can fly yourself." Harpy lady smiled and ducked into the trees.
The Dragon was going to fast to avoid the spot where she disappeared. When the Dragon flew over that spot Harpy Lady shot out of the trees and killed the Winged dragon and waved to the Empress Judge as she fell to the ground.
The Empress Judge survived the fall in fact she landed gracefully not far from a clearing. She glanced around to get her bearings. She saw what lay in the clearing and smiled.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Now that the only dragons left in the sky all had passengers and were much slower than Red-Eyes Black Dragon anyway the runaways were making a run for it the Harpy Lady flew up to the dragon and the Celtic Guardian pulled her on to the dragons back as she was beginning to tire.
She immediately started crying for her lost dragon now that she wasn't fighting for her life. The Celtic Guardian looked around for help and the Mystic Elf took pity on him and pulled the Harpy Lady over to cry on her shoulder.
Only the Dark Magician and his sister trailed behind to clean up anything else that could attack them. They had seen the second Blue-Eyes vanish like the one who had attacked Harpy Lady but there were still two unaccounted for. Dark Magician clutched his chest and started to fall his sister grabbed him.
"Dar what is it?"
"Someone..." Dark Managed to pull himself back together. "Someone just used shield and Sword on me!"
"You think you are the only ones who can hide with Magic?"
Then they could see them. The third Blue-Eyes White Dragon with the Dark Sage sitting cross legged on his back. And next to him was Dar's and Magi's cousin. The Red Dark Magician.
"Cain!" Magi called out.
Cain the Red Dark Magician looked down at his feet. He was the reason his cousins were fleeing after all. They had seen how his horrible treated him and his brothers. If only they knew what had just been done to the others what was going to happen to him soon... Cain gasped in pain, correction it was happening now. He looked back at his younger cousins. He couldn't risk anything like this happening to him.
He pointed his staff and attacked. Destroying the Dark Sage.
"Traitor!" The Blue-Eyes Roared.
"Oh...." Cain shook with pain. "Shut up. De-Spell!"
The dragon roared again and turned to attack Magi and Dark. Dark glared back his attack again at 2500 instead of just 2100. Not that it would make any difference in the face of White Lightening. He shielded his sister with his own body but he needn't have.
Cain was the one who was attacked. As the Red Dark Magician fell to the ground unconscious the Blue-Eye's turned to attack Dark and Magi but he like the other two faded away.
"C-come on." Dark said pulling himself back together. "We have to catch up with the others."

The Magician of Black Chaos was still looking for Neo, the Magical Swordsman, Baby Dragon and Red Archery Girl. He also had the feeling of being watched to which just gave the adolescent monster the creeps.
"Chaos was that you?"
The Magician stopped it was only a whisper but he had heard it.
"Neo?"
The four Monsters he had been seeking came into view. "Thank the Items it's you I thought it...was..."
The Magician of Black Chaos saw the Magical Swordsman eyes go wide and it could only mean one thing.
The Black Lustre Knight was behind him.
He turned to see that he was right and to make it worse he too had a Sword of Dark Destruction making the knight stronger than the Magician. Just how many of those swords were there?
The Knight attacked.
The Magician found himself surrounded in darkness. He felt feathers against his leg.
"You can thank Heart for this respite." Neo the Magical Swordsman's voice came from the darkness. "There was the Magical Hats spell inside the book."
There was a blast out side the Hat as the Knight destroyed one of the other ones.
A small blue light appeared inside the very crowded Hat. All five monsters were in there the feathers were explained by the fact Dark Witch was standing next to him with her wings between them., some space was saved by Baby Dragon sitting on top of Red Archery Girls clam. The Magical Swordsman was providing the light from one finger. The other hand was holding the book out to the Magician.
There was another blast, there were only two hats left now.
"Take this Chaos this should make you strong enough to defeat the Black Lustre Knight." He said.
The Magician of Black Chaos nodded took the book to increase his strength before bursting out if
He pointed his staff at the Black Lustre knight.
"Leave us alone! We just want to be free!" He shouted. "You've killed two of us isn't that enough?"
The Black Lustre Knight looked at the magician.
"We can not let monsters enter the real world it would mean disaster."
"We wouldn't hurt anyone there! Please...leave us be."
"Magician! I have no choice! We are enemies and we exist for duelling."
"Enemies? Don't you see we don't want to fight? But you give us no choice." The Magician of Black Chaos pointed his staff and the Black Lustre Knight. "We're sorry."
The Black Lustre Knight jumped to attack the Magician of Black Chaos knowing now that he would lose but not willing to lay down and take it...

Look Look I didn't kill anyone! Well none of my lot anyway. And the bad guy's heal since they are cards anyway.
[1] Harpylady's brother is a real card. But I don't think it has only been released in Japan at the moment. I found a picture of his card at kingyugi.com and I had to put him in here. And he and Cain aren't the only nice cards out to help the runaways ether. ^_^
(oh and if you were wondering why Cain was in pain it was because his card was being damaged in the real world. Anyone who's seen Yugi Vs Pandora/Arcane will know what I mean.)
Please review!
