Talpa stood watching as the Ronins and their friends ran out of the gates
and into the woods.
"They'll be back for their friends," Marik said.
"Don't you think I don't know that," Talpa yelled. He turned to Sekhmet, "Bring Wildfire down here."
"Yes master," Sekhmet said and disappeared.
In the tower, they looked up as Sekhmet appeared and unchained Ryo and Ryo was forced to go with him back to the throne room where Talpa was waiting. Once again he was again chained facing the wall, and he knew what was coming.
"Leave us," Talpa said as he picked up the whip once again. After they left, "You're friends might get you and your friends back, but you won't be unscarred."
Ryo tensed as the whip connected with his back once again. This time, it was harder and faster. Talpa was mad and he was taking his anger out on him. Talpa stopped as Ryo slumped against the chains holding him. He was bleeding heavily from the cuts the whip had made in his back. He called for Dais and Cale and they unchained him and carried him up to the tower once again. At Mia's, Mia saw them coming up the yard and she also saw Kento and Sage helping Cye along and she immediately knew he was hurt, probably badly.
"What happened?" she asked as she came out of the house.
"Get the first-aid kit and meet us up in his room," Sage said as he and Kento helped Cye upstairs and into his and Kento's room. Cye had once again passed out from the pain as Mia entered the room. Turning him on his side, they taped heavy bandages to the wounds on his back. They had somewhat stopped bleeding but they were still bleeding.
They tucked Cye in his bed and headed back downstairs to join the others. Tristan and Serenity was concerned since Ryou and Joey were both in the hands of Talpa. Everyone was sore and tired and decided to head back to the castle in the morning. Cye would have to stay behind this time because of his injuries. At the castle, Rowen glanced up as Dais and Cale appeared carrying Ryo, who was still unconscious and he was once again chained in between the two poles. Ryou cringed at the sight of the cuts on his back. They were awful looking.
"Man, what did they do to him?" Ryou asked Rowen.
"Talpa probably hit him with a whip again," Rowen said. "He did that to him when we were first captured."
Cye came around around 3 and when he went to sit up, a burning pain went straight up his back and he almost got sick. Kento was awaken by the movement and hurried over to him.
"It's okay Cye," Kento said.
"What happened?" he asked, as he laid back down against the pillows but had to shift to his side when the pain hit when he sat back.
"You were hurt by Talpa," Kento said. "You were pierced in the back by three hooks on the throne room wall. We're going to rescue Ryo, Rowen, Joey and Ryou has soon as the sun rises. and we think it would be better if you stayed here."
"Probably a good idea," Cye said. "How's the others taking it?"
They sat and talked a while until Cye started nodding off again and Kento went back to his own bed and soon fell asleep. In Yami and Tristan's room, Buka entered and crossed over to where Yami was sleeping. He hadn't switched back with Yugi since the events at the castle. He woke up as she sat down on the edge of the bed.
"You okay?" Yami asked, sitting up.
"Let's go downstairs and talk," Buka suggested. "That way we don't wake Tristan up."
He nodded and they left and went down to the living room.
"Yami, I worried," Buka said. "What if the baby was hurt by those arrows?"
"I'm sure the baby wasn't harmed," Yami said. "Once this is over, we'll make an appointment with the doctor to check."
"I hope nothing happened," Buka said starting to cry and leaned against Yami who wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.
"It's okay," Yami said. "I won't let anything happen to you ever again. I promise you that."
He picked the remote up and clicked on the television and flipped through the channels. They found a movie to watch and fell asleep not long after that. Meanwhile, Ryo started to come around to find himself back in the tower. Pain flew up his back, reminding him of the beating he had gotten from Talpa. Rowen woke up at the movement, noticing Ryo was awake.
"How are you feeling Ryo?" he asked.
"Been better," Ryo answered. "That was alot worse than the first time. He really was steamed."
They glanced over and saw that both Ryou and Joey were sound asleep against the poles.
"At least they're doing okay?" Rowen said.
