The Next Generation.
Chapter Seventeen - The Sacrifice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The kids got to the centre of town. Seth looked around. Waiting for any attack. He just wasn't prepared fr what he saw. A brown-haired boy, appeared from behind a corner. He smirked. Seth's eyes lit up. "NICK!" He yelled. He ran forward, to hug his adoptive brother. He felt Nick hug him back, with one arm. Then Seth saw the gleam in his eyes. He pulled himself away from an attack. "I should've known it was a trick." Seth said. The holographic monitor appeared. "It's not as much of a trick as you might think it is, Seth Moto. Nick is very real. There is something you didn't know about the Prowlers. When we kill anyone, they can be bought back from the dead, as our servants. They have no control over their actions." The leader said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The others at the warehouse, were very worried. They followed after the children, to see Seth attacked. They heard everything. But they also heard a scream.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ben, Tara and Kieran had split into a group, but had split up to follow a differant direction. Tara felt somone watching her. She turned around to see her parents. "Mom? Dad?" Tara questioned. Her mind told her it wasn't real. But she didn't want to listen. She ran over to them. Hugging her father tightly. She felt him hug her back. Then she felt a sharp pain in her back. That was when she screamed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kieran found himself near his old home. He heard a slight rustling, near the bushes. He saw his father, uncle and aunt, come out. Kieran looked at them in disbelief. "Dad?" Kieran called. his father turned and looked at him. He ran over to hug his father. He looked at His aunt and uncle. "Auntie Rika? Uncle Yugi?" Keiran was very confused. That was when he saw someone advancing on him from behind. He could tell from her features, that it was his mother. He didn't trust this. He pulled out of his father's grasp and ran. That was when he heard the scream. Tara's scream.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seth, and the other's ran towards the scream. Kaiba, Yugi, Mai, Joey and Ryou followed Seth, who had the reflexes of a cat. But were just in time to see Tara murdered. The Mai look-a-like, fell to the ground, lifeless. Joey and Mai of the future smirked over her body.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kieran was still running. He could see and hear them chasing him. He wouldn't be fooled so easily. He ran straight into....... Katie?
It was definatly Katie. She glared at him. Then pulled a blue eyes white dragon fron her top pocket. Kieran was too shocked to run. His dead family chasing behind him, and Katie in front, Kieran was trapped.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeff and Maya were still walking along. Maya felt that something was wrong. She carried on going. Jeff, saw something. He went and looked in an alleyway. He saw his parents. "Mom? Dad?" Jeff was nervous. "Hey slugger." His dad smiled at him. That was all Jeff needed to be convinced. He ran over to them. Then he died.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maya heard the scream. She had heard that when her father died. She was frightened and alone. That was when she saw her uncle and aunt. "Uncle Joey? Auntie Mai?" Maya questioned. They smiled at her. She felt unease. This wasn't right. These people were dead. Tara had told her they died. They weren't real. "This is fake. This isn't real. You two can't be my Uncle Joey anfd Auntie Mai. Becuase they're dead." Maya said.
"Who said we were alive?" Maya turned around to see her mother and father. "This isn't real." Maya said. "Of course not." Maya turned to see her uncle Tristan. "We're just figmants of your imagination, Maya." She saw her Aunt Tea. She yelped in fear, and scrambled past these ghosts of the past. She carried on running. She ran past Jeff. But she had no time to check on him. Her guilt flowed through her, as she carried on running. Jeff had died, and she had lived. But how long would she be alive for.
She heard them trying to catch up. Still chasing her. She was frightened, and didn't know how to escape them. She figured that this was the end of the line. There was nothing she could do. Except fight. She turned around and pulled out a dragon card. Using every bit of energy she had, she aimed it at them. Incinerating them to dust.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ben ran towards the scream of his sister. He came onto the scene to see his parents leave. His sister was sprawld on the floor. "Tara?" He knelt down next to her. Cradling her in his arms. She was all the family he had left, apart from Maya. His cousin. Tara, could always remind them, of a fun memorie that had happened, when they were smaller. When their parents had just died, she was the one to keep them going. One by one, they had all been killed. Ben realised that this was a search and destroy mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joey and Mai looked on in shock. "Are those two dating or something?" Tea asked. "NO! Tara is Ben's little sister." Seth said. He bit his lip. He could feel Ben's pain. He'd not only lost his three year old sister, but he'd lost his adoptive sister, Katie. He'd lost too many people. Seth ran over and checked to see if Tara was still alive.
Ben glared slightly, but relaxed, when he realised it was Seth. Seth checked Tara's pulse. "It's faint, but it's still there." Seth said. Ben sighed in relief. "Ben, take Tara back to the warehouse. I have to find the others." Seth said. That was when Maya ran onto the scene. She was crying. Ben and Seth had never seen such a totally broken expression on her face.
Seth walked over to the girl. "What happened Maya?" He asked. "I killed them." Tara said. "Killed who?" Seth asked. "I killed my parents." Maya said. "I killed my aunt and uncle. I killed Uncle Tristan, and Aunt Tea." Maya seemed blank. Like she was in shock. "What about Jeff? Did you see him, Maya?" Ben asked gently. "He's dead." Maya said. She knew it was true. They wouldn't have left him alive.
"What about Kieran?" Vicky said. Making the others look around. "I don't know where he is." Maya said. "All of you go back to the warehouse. This was a trap from the beginning." Seth said. "What are you going to do, Seth?" Ben asked. "I'm going to find Kieran. He could still be alive. He catches on to things, pretty quick. He'd have realised that they weren't real. If he saw his family. He'd know. We were all foolish, to think that they were real. Only some of us escaped the trap the Prowlers set for us on purpose." Seth said. Maya bit her lip and felt the tears well up again. "You can't go by yourself?" Yugi said. "I'll go with him." Kaiba said. They nodded and left. Leaving Kaiba and Seth, who seemed annoyed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kieran didn't know whether to run or fight. He knew that they weren't his real family, but they all looked so familiar. All of them looked the same. He just didn't think he could finish them. And he knew they would finish him in an instant. He could see Katie powering up. Then fire. "This is it. My life is over." Kieran thought. The blast was heading right for him.
