Flamed: C.A. I can't believe your going to send them to Exodia, are you trying to kill them all?
C.A. Relax, I have no intention of killing anyone for a while.
Shadow Fire Another early update, I'm going to have to stop doing this other wise I'm not going to have any chapters in reserve. ^_^ Still I'm glad your happy.
Indigo Tantarian The fourth BEWD keeps popping up in my story's I don't know why. He's in Stolen Souls, this story and a next-gen flick I shelved since I don't think anyone actually reads them. I guess I feel sorry 'cause everyone else seems to have forgotten about him.
Koriku The temple holds the portal out of the Shadow realm to Yugi's world. And who said they beat Exoida?

"Who's Exodia?" Hope asked.
"The one monster feared above all others, so powerful he could not be contained by merely one card. So deadly even the combined might of the Blue-Eyes White Dragons fall before him."
"But-" Hope started
"How could it be possible to even dream of escaping the world of shadows when he guards the exit?" Carl guessed the question. "Only time would tell if all the pain and the loses of The Flamed Swordsmen and Harpy's Pet Dragon be all for nothing or would a twist of fate make their imposable dream a realty."
"You just like dragging this out don' t you." Hope accused.
Carl's face bore a look of innocence. "Me? I'm just trying to build up the suspense."

CHAPTER 8 - EXODIA
_____________________________________________________________________________
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon gently picked up Change of Heart with his talons and placed her on the Red-Eyes Black Dragons back. Between the Mystic Elf and the Celtic Guardian.
"Look after her she has a promise to keep if you escape." He said. "That and she has the luck of the holder of the Ring."
Heart blushed. The Black Dragon nodded. They stepped though the next door, the eye of Ra adorned it.
And there stood Exodia, the forbidden one. He was chained to the wall but the chains looked more than long enough to reach any who tried to pass.
He reacted instantly to the intruders. With the rattle of chains, one arm shot out at them too fast for any to dodge. Only for it to fade away as it closed around the Red-Eyes Black Dragon's neck.
"YES I KNEW HE COULD DO IT!" The Blue-Eyes cheered.
"Who could do what?" Dark Magician Girl demanded.
"The Pharaoh...and my masters grandson...they're summoning Exodia!"
"But that hasn't happened for almost three thousand years!" Dark Magician exclaimed.
"Until now."
Exodia tried to grab the Magician of Black Chaos when one of his legs vanished. He stumbled missing the magician, and a portal of light could be seen behind Exodia now.
"Go fly for the portal! I'll keep him occupied." The Blue-Eyes ordered.
"Whitey!" Two voices called out. "Thank you...and goodbye!"
"Change of Heart! You spoke...with that voice I see why you never have before." Dark Magician girl said.
"I think it sounds cool." Red Archery Girl said. "Goodbye Whitey."
"Bye Whitey!" Dark Witch called too a few moments before everyone call out their goodbyes too.
The Runaways flew for the portal.
The Blue Eye's white Dragon flew around Exodia's head not attacking but blocking his sight so they could escape.
The Blue-Eyes White Dragon watched as they faded from view.
"They really did it." He said.
"YOU KNOW WE CAN NOT PERMIT THIS." Said the bombing voice of Exodia making the very walls of the room shake Dust fell from the ceiling. "WE WILL HAVE TO GO AFTER THEM."
"Oh shut up Exodia, I think they can live in the human world, they need this chance."
"THERE CAN BE NO EXCEPTIONS..."
Blue-Eyes White Dragon shook his head. "Exodia, any second now your head is going to vanish and your going to be fighting my brothers. So I'm saying this before you go. We shouldn't only be used to fight, some people know this, my master is one other wise I would be dead for good right now, those un-sealed monsters have more heart than we ever will, let them live."
The dragon sat to watch the rest of the forbidden one be summoned, by the Rod were his fellow dragons in for a shock. Oh well serves the Dragon Duellist's fault for putting his master in hospital and tearing him. The whipper-snapper..
"Tell me I didn't just say that, I love my master but I'm no old man and I don't want to think like one."

The Runaways were almost blinded by the light of the portal those who hadn't already been on the Red-Eyes Black Dragon's back took old of his tail or legs to stop them from getting separated.
The Dark Elf held her sister, Harpy Lady and Dark Witch close as she thought she saw the Graveyard far below them.
Change of Heart held on to the Celtic Guardian since he was the closest monster. He looked down at her for a moment thinking what should he do now before holding his cape around her with one arm, that seemed to stop her whimpers so that satisfied him.
Neo, The Magical Swordsman held Red Archery Girl's clam like it was an anchor in a raging sea, Dark Magician Girl was doing the same to Baby Dragon with arm and holding on to one of the black dragons claw with her other hand.
Magician of Black Chaos was glad no one was looking back wards since he thought he must have looked dumb holding on to the dragons tail his long black hair flying in his face.
Dark Magician had hold of one of the black dragons other Nails, he reached his hand over to take hold of his sisters shoulder.
Then the light vanished replaced by darkness so complete that they thought they had gone blind.
"We're...I think we're where the shadow games are actually played." Dark Magician said as the dragon continued to fly.
Suddenly the blackness dispersed like dark clouds before bursting out to a night time sky above city lights. All those who could fly save Harpy Lady and Dark Witch whom was still crying took off flying.
The Magician of Black Chaos looked around everyone was there save for Change of Heart, then he noticed the awkward way Celtic Guardian was hugging something that wasn't the Mystic Elf who was to busy laughing at him.
Change of Heart had fallen asleep in Celtic Guardian's arms the second they had found themselves in the night sky in the distance they could see the lights of a human city.

"Is that the end then?" Hope asked.
"Hardly." Carl laughed before returning to his narration. "The runaways have made it to the world of men. Now surely they will be free of the rules and ties of the Shadow Realm? Yet, had any of them even thought they would get this far? Had they planed what they would do next? Would they really be able to make a life here? They would try, but there were more pressing matters on their minds."
"Like what?"
"Sleep, and their stomachs"
_______________________________________________________________________________
The found a large cave about three miles out side the city. It was Large enough for everyone to rest and spend the night.
In the early morning Mystic Elf and her sister went out to hunt for everyone else most of which were still sleeping.
"Isn't it great De?" Mystic Elf asked. "We're free, well and truly free."
Dark Elf lent against a tree as her sister drank water out of a stream. "You know Myst if you keep cheering about how we're free you'll scare away all the game."
Mystic Elf looked at her sister and shot a small blast of white energy up into the sky. She was rewarded when a large fat bird fell a few feet away from them.
"I may not be much of a fighter like you De but I can hunt."
Dark Elf smiled. "With the amount of time you spend with Celt I'm not surprised."
The Mystic Elf blushed her blue skinned cheeks turning a purplish pink. "What about you and Dar?"
"Yeah so? You won't catch me blushing just because you've noticed I spend time with him."
Mystic Elf picked up the dead bird. "Okay, how many of these do you think Black could eat?"
Dark Elf looked at the bird. "I think we need to find bigger pray."
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
The two elves returned to the cave to find that everyone except the Celtic Guardian were still asleep. Well they had been though a lot, the youngest in particular, Baby Dragon and Red Archery Girl were sleeping between the Dark Magician Girl and Neo The Magical Swordsman.
Change of Heart were again sleeping alone. The Celtic Guardian had given her his cape without asking.
Or at least she had been when the Elves had left but now Harpy Lady had taken the young girl in her arms. Both of their faces were tear streaked. Dark Witch her face also wet with tears slept leaning next to the pair.
"Heart had a nightmare, Lady and Itch took care of her." Celtic Guardian explained.
Mystic Elf nodded. "Good, Lady needs something now to live for. Maybe Heart and Itch can be that something."
The Magician of Black Chaos was sleeping on top of Red-Eyes Black Dragon's head. The young magician looked cute like that it was hard to think that he was the strongest of them there. Or how well he could fight for one so young.
A fire suddenly started burning in the centre of the cave. The elves turned to see Dark Magician blinking sleepily looking at them from under a black dragon wing. He had used his magic to start the fire.
"I suppose that's as far as your going to help with the cooking huh Dar?" The Dark Elf asked.
The Dark Magician nodded and fell back asleep.
"Well he has being under a lot of stress." Dark Elf sighed. "Come on you two give me a hand."

C.A. So what is going to happen now they are here? How are they going to react when they see Yugi for the first time? I'm not telling you yet. ^_^
Pet: *Roar* Translation: When are we going to see Whitey again?
C.A. Not for a while sorry, I like him but he's not a runaway so this isn't his story. You could say he's to the runaways what Solomon is to the YGO gang. He's important but you don't see him often.
Anyway, Please Review!
