HI! I'm tryin to keep ya interested and I hope its workin!

@@@@@@@*@@@@@@@

A dark figure stood in the presence of the three vampires.

"Hello, Odion," Marik said calmly "It is nice to see you again."

"I come bearing grave news." Odion said.

"What news of your travels of the world could be bad?" Bakura chimed in.

"While wandering the deserts of the Middle East, I came across the rare breed of Scarperama Scorpion. It stung me with its venomous tail. I have acquired Scarperama-deseriam. I will die soon, and will wander the Earth as a lost soul if not destroyed by a slayer. It was not an end I hoped to come to, but seeing as you have become full fledged; I thought you could you my help. (A/n I made up Scarperama, don't ask.)"

"Why Odion, that is.very." Marik could not finish. Scarperama-deseriam was internal and had no cure. Odion had been in Mariks life since, before he was born. And now... Marik got rid of that thought. He had to be the strong vampire that he was. He had no time for emotions. "I'm sorry Odion, but we could use you to lure out the comrades of this girl Anzu. She is the one who completed our drawings. We want to destroy her friends before her eyes."

"It shall be done master. And Bakura, I see Anzu has also given you the power of the third drawing. Not many have completed this task. Most humans are weak. She must be strong."

"Ugh," Anzu moaned. She didn't feel very strong. What were they talking about? She heard a few whispers "Don't let her know. Will they come for her again, if they know our powers" She hoped they would let her sleep. And that is exactly what she did. @@@@@YAMI@@@@@@@

'They grew very strong my friends, and I am tired of fights. We have lost....' Yami awoke with a start. These premonitions dreams. Was that him saying those things? THEY WOULD NOT LOSE TO THOSE FILTHY LIFEFORMS! Yami tried to get back to sleep, but knowing Anzu was with them and they were out there, faster than the night he laid eyes on the flash of white fangs and purple shirt of the demon Marik, or the wings of Bakura as the drawing was complete, when he took off into the night sky.. Yami fell into a fitful sleep of horrible dreams.

'My stake is sharp; my senses ready, my skin prepared for the long and bloody battle ahead.' This wasn't going to be easy.

@@@@@Vampires again@@@@@

"Odion are you sure you want to?" Marik said with the slightest amount of concern in his voice. Bakura sensed it. He felt sorrow and pity as well, but he would never live it down if he showed it.

"It is the only way our legacy will prevail. Those slayers deserve to die, and I shall help you kill them!"

"Marik, will you do the honors of the chant of Ra should we need it?"

"Certainly, but only when the time is right. I must preserve my powers until then. Let us wait until our guest of honor is ready to see the downfall of her friends! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Master Marik, I suggest that you calm down before this encounter. I can sense an immense amount of energy coming from you, and I'm sure they can too. Now, what is our plan for tonight?" Odion said.

"Well, Marik will control Anzu because I will be scouting ahead for those fools. Odion, you will be in the city. We'll draw them in somehow." Bakura explained, glancing at Anzu.

"Good plan. What time shall we set out?"

"We move at midnight!"

Somewhere far away a clock struck 11:00..

@@@@@*@@@@@@@

At that very same time..

"We move at 12 Slayers" Yami barked at the dozing slayers.

"We have been hunting for awhile, can't we rest?" Duke asked.

"NO! We must save Anzu!" Yami hissed back at him.

"Why are we all going? Only you and Anzu can kill those two, and we all know Anzu is probably to sentimental and too weak to do it. Besides, they have ancient power beyond our knowledge on their side! In my eyes, we have lost already..." Kaiba said to know one in particular.

The Slayers heard a clock strike 11:00..

@@@@@@@@*@@@@@@

"Is it time to move, Scarperama is beginning to take me! Ugh!" Odion cried.

*clock chimes 11:45*

"It is time for us to move dear Anzu," Marik growled with a hint of fear for Odion and sorrow in his voice.

"GET MOVING!" Bakura yelled when she did not move, and he said it with no emotion but anger towards her.

"Would you like me to do it for you my dear?" Marik was already controlling her mind.

Anzu knew what she was doing, but couldn't control it. Marik was, and she didn't like it.

"Odion, we shall see you there."

@@@@@*@@@@@

The slayers all stood where they knew a vampire would come, the scene of the last crime. The forest. They were ready.

@@@@@*@@@@@

Marik and Bakura stood on the tree, as Anzu sat below watching weakly. She felt terrible, and unable to speak, she was just too weak. Odion was right in front of the slayers. They were all ready to strike.

"Who do you work for?" One growled.

"Answer us fowl creature of the darkness! Who do you work for?"

Odion had no intention to reply. His jaw clenched from pain of Scarperama, he just kept a straight face, besides his jaw, and faced his destiny. Anzu looked up to see the horrifically sad eyes of Marik and the emotionless eyes of Bakura.

One of the slayers, probably Joey, lunged forward and struck with a stake. He missed. Another, Kaiba, lunged with his stake, and hit his target, Odion's heart. Odion went down like a vampire should: without a word or emotion. Odion turned his head slightly and nodded a silent goodbye to Marik and Bakura (more to Marik). Odion's body seemed to scatter like dust.

And then he was gone.

Marik's cry pierced the night.

@@@@@@@*@@@@@@@ ** Yea I know. Marik got emotional there, but you would too if he was like your brother and he died before your eyes. Ah well. Another chapter bites the dust.**
