Ch.4: Help them!
Elsewhere, Yugi was walking, and suddenly his senses snapped. //Yugi. Something is happening// Yami suddenly said in his mind. //I know, but where?! And who?// //Ryou is in danger. The spirit inside of him is about to released!// //SHOOT! What else is happening?! Is Phoenix up there?!// //I'm afraid so. The girl could be killed if the yami is let out. This could get very ugly... // Yami replied. //WELL, WHAT CAN I DO?! AND WHERE ARE THEY?!// Yugi thought panicking. //YUGI!! CALM DOWN! They are on the rooftop of the school. We haven't got a lot of time! Release me, NOW!// Yugi knelt on the ground and groaned as Yami emerged. "Let's go, Yugi" Yami said, offering a hand to him. "R-right" Yugi said shakily. As they headed for the rooftop, they passed "the gang" "Hey! What gives? You two doin a race or somethin?" Joey hollered as Yami and Yugi ran right past them. Yugi hollered back, "Phoenix and Ryou are in trouble!" "WHAT?! PHOENIX IS IN TROUBLE?!?! Then I shall assist!" Joey said scrambling to run up the stairs. Tristan and Tea rolled their eyes then followed.
On the roof, Blade suddenly got an idea. She looked for blood. //Damnit! There isn't any! Guess I'm gonna have to use my own.// She looked for something sharp. Duh. Her sword! She let go and used her telekinesis to direct it straight into one side of her arm and out the other, piercing right through the bone & marrow. (A/N: Yes, Blade does have the power of telekinesis, or moving things with one's mind. She has quite a few special abilities. By the way... Ouch.) Phoenix swerved just in time to see Blade covered in blood one minute, and then emerge as Shadow Dark the next. (A/N: Shadow Dark-The form of Blade when hit with blood or dark energy. Her body shape-shifts into a wolf completely covered in ash-black fur. When a wolf, she is ruthless. So, whenever hit with blood, hexes, or curses, Blade turns into Shadow Dark. Now back to the scheduled program ) Shadow Dark leapt over to Phoenix and bared her teeth at Ryou, who was still crying in pain and practically having a heart attack. "What the hell are you?!" Shadow Dark snarled. Without warning, Ryou's body became TWO sides. One side of him was the normal Ryou and the other half was Bakura. Then, the Millennium Ring appeared around Ryou's neck. The yami spoke first. "You dare to ask me whom I am? Fine." (snickers maliciously) "I am the Soul Stealer. Although Yugi tried to seal me off, I wasn't finished with him yet!" Phoenix was shocked. "Y-Yugi? What does he have to do with this?!" she demanded. (Again, more evil laughter) "MUHAHAHA!! Oh, you don't know do you? Yugi has special powers just like you do!" Phoenix gasped and Shadow Dark leapt for Bakura. "NO BLADE!! DON'T! YOU MIGHT HURT RYOU!" Phoenix screamed. But Shadow Dark was blown off by Bakura's force field. "HAHA!! YOU DIDN'T REALIZE I HAD A SHIELD WAITING, DID YOU SHADOW DARK?!" Shadow Dark then growled "How the hell do you know my name?!?!" He ignored Shadow Dark and instead swiveled to Phoenix. She felt the evil festering inside Bakura like a virus that drains energy. It gave her a vile feeling in her stomach. Finally, she couldn't stand the evil anymore. "I'M GOING TO PUT AN END TO THIS RIGHT NOW!" Phoenix said as her body began to glow. Suddenly, an angel floated out of Phoenix's back and landed right beside her. (A/N: Heaven's Beauty-Phoenix's angel. Features are amber eyes with white hair.) Then Phoenix drew from her back a shining bow and arrow. (ANOTHER A/N: Phoenix's spirit weapon is the Arrow of Light. Both the bow & the arrow are protected with white magic) She aimed it toward Bakura. The yami's eyes narrowed. Then Shadow Dark leapt up and was back at Phoenix's side in a flash. Phoenix mouthed a silent chant that covered her body briefly in feathers, and then formed her battle suit. "I wont let you hurt Ryou or my sister!" she challenged. The evil half of the Bakura smirked. "HA! IN ORDER TO GET RID OF ME, YOU'D HAVE TO DESTROY THE BOY TOO! DARE YOU STRIKE KNOWING THAT?!" Phoenix's hands shook slightly, altering her aim. The evil Bakura smiled coldly. Ryou knew Phoenix might hesitate, so he shouted to her "PHOENIX!! Don't let this evil being confuse you!! Get rid of him!!! I'd rather die than you and your...." (Looks at Shadow Dark for a moment) "And your sister get hurt! Don't falter to destroy me if it means destroying him!!" Phoenix looked like she was about to cry. Shadow Dark then grinned. "So be it..." she said. "NO! YOU CAN'T!!!" Phoenix screamed, tears flowing freely. The creature looked at her. Bakura took this distraction to attack Shadow Dark. He then threw a massive spell at her causing the wolf to fly into the fence and slide to the ground. Time seemed to slow down at that point. When Shadow Dark finally did hit the ground, Phoenix saw a trickle of blood slowly form from her mouth and eyes. It dripped down and stained her dark gray fur and the tile. Her crimson eyes seemed completely lifeless. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Phoenix screamed. She rushed over to Shadow Dark and touched her. She felt a weak pulse. Then she stood up with angry tears. Bakura smirked evilly. Phoenix's voice was full of anger and she shook as she spoke. "No....more....NO MORE!!!" she screamed. Then, suddenly the light symbol appeared on her forehead. Bakura screamed in pain as the light shone on his body (both). //Blade, I wont let you or Ryou die!!!// Phoenix thought. Rapidly, her bow and arrow changed to the Holy Staff then began to glow, covering her in light. (A/N: Holy Staff; Phoenix's white magic rod when she trances. It is able to draw out her unbelievable powers. She can summon an eidolon when she trances. An eidolon is a god or goddess that a magic user can summon. But Phoenix won't learn about eidolons until later) Shadow Dark's ruby eyes snapped open. She felt her sister's power surge. In fact, she could have felt it from miles away. Shadow Dark sat up to stop her sister and beat the spit out of Bakura. //That's it!! I've had it with you! I don't care if you're my sister's friend or not, if you're a pain in my ass, then you're gonna feel pain in yours!!!// Blade telepathically screeched at him. Phoenix's eyes began to radiate white. She slowly levitated off the ground, her staff turning into an orb of blinding light. Shadow Dark watched in amazement as well as Ryou/Evil Bakura. Then, the door banged open and out ran Yami & Yugi followed by Joey, Tea, and Tristan. "PHOENIX!! RYOU!!" Yugi yelled. But the first thing Yami saw was Shadow Dark. His eyes hardened. However, Yugi first saw Phoenix casting an enchantment and shining brightly. Then Shadow Dark looked Yami straight in the eye and said, "GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE YOU IDIOTS! THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!!" Joey gasped. "I-it...CAN TALK!!" he shouted. But Yugi focused on Phoenix and Ryou. The healing spell Phoenix held in her hands suddenly released and headed immediately for Ryou/Bakura. From the sudden positive energy flow Ryou/Bakura howled in anguish. "RYOUUUUUUUUU!!!" Yugi called out. The light then exploded in a brilliant blinding flash and everyone covered their eyes. Then, the light lessened and everyone saw Ryou blink once, twice, then fall to on the ground. Phoenix also fell, unconscious. Yugi and Tristan rushed over to Ryou's body. But before Yami or Joey could reach Phoenix, Shadow Dark had stepped over her body and was standing guard. She snarled. "Get out! NOW!" Joey freaked out and Yami's eyes glittered dangerously. "What do you want with her?" he asked in a quiet voice. "NONE OF YOUR STUPID BUSINESS NOW LEAVE BEFORE I RIP YOU TO PIECES!" Dark Shadow screeched. Yami's fists clenched and his body went stiff. "Get out of our way." He said in a low and dangerous voice.
In the meantime, Yugi and Tristan were trying to shake Ryou into conscious. A slow trickle of blood ran from his mouth, and he was bruised and scratched. His forehead also had a nasty gash. Yugi turned to Shadow Dark, angry. "WHY DID YOU HURT RYOU?!" he screamed at her. Shadow Dark spun quickly to him and snarled, "Don't toy with me, boy! I didn't even touch your friend! I was merely looking out for my sister..." and then stopped dead short and realized her mistake. Yami's eyes widened. "Who are you and what do you want with the girl?! And why do you say she is your sister?!" he demanded. Shadow Dark was silent. She still stood poised over Phoenix's body. She knew she needed to get her sister out of there, fast, or else they might discover who and what they were. She shook her head. No. They already knew they were both magic users. Maybe she should leave Phoenix with them....//NO!// she thought to herself. //I can't take that risk!// Her brain moved furiously, trying to come up with something to do. Her fur raised on her back. She opened up her mouth showing all her teeth. Joey, to this, yelped. Shadow Dark grinned deviously at his frightened reaction then turned to Yami who was still waiting for an answer. "Just leave her alone! If you think I'm going to eat her, then you really are stupid! I'm trying to protect her! Now take your friend and leave us be!" she growled. "I can't let you do that." Yami said to her. "She needs to go to the hospital. Can't you see how badly sick she is?" Shadow Dark growled in protest but looked down at Phoenix. Her sister's face was flushed, and her hair was matted to her face. She put a paw on her forehead. Shadow Dark gasped. Phoenix was burning up! How could she get a fever from casting a healing spell?! But...if she went to the hospital, then they'd find out she was different..."NO!" she snarled. "FORGET IT! She's coming with me! I can take her to someone who can heal her!" at that point, Joey said something. "Look, wolf, or whatever you are, I dunno what your problem is, but we're taking Phoenix and that's that!" however he squeaked when Shadow Dark turned her red eyes on him and showed her teeth again. Yami rolled his eyes. This argument was getting tiresome. He would be forceful, if he had to. "How do you know you can heal her? It looks like she has a fever. Not getting her treatment could cause it to turn into pneumonia. Is that what you want? I will take her from you, if necessary. Or you can give her to us, and if you truly are concerned, then you can come with us, and make sure she's alright." Shadow Dark's eyes narrowed. How dare he think that she didn't care about Phoenix! But...it seemed that...these people were really trying to help her sister. Maybe....NO! She couldn't risk it. Then the doctors would want to turn them into study specimens. She couldn't let that happen. Maybe she could just grab Phoenix and take her to Belldandy. (A/N: Those of you who know of 'Oh My Goddess!', this name should sound awfully familiar to you...) //Yes! That just might work!// she thought to herself. But how to distract the spirit..."I know what you are..." she growled at Yami. He was not surprised at this. "And I know what you are as well." He said calmly. "What am I then?" The third eye on his forehead flashed. "You're a creature of black magic, obviously. A dark spirit, or sorceress perhaps. No, you're a...Black Mage!" he said. Shadow Dark's red eyes narrowed. Then she laughed, exposing her teeth more to Joey who turned white as a sheet. "HA! You're very clever to put it that way, yami spirit, but you're only half right. Or shall I say, Ancient Pharaoh?!" Yami showed no emotion. But he was getting irritated at this non-stop argument. Finally, he decided he would just knock the Black Sprit Mage away. As quick as lightning, he formed a charter spell in his mind, and flung it at Shadow Dark. (A/N: Charter Spell; A form of rare magic that can only be used by certain magicians because of it's intense difficulty to master. There are hundreds of symbols one must learn in order to master the Charter. However, Black Magic users such as Blade cannot use the Charter) She was thrown harmlessly off the roof and onto a tree branch where she started cursing at Yami. Then she fired a hex spell at him, which he dodged. His expression dared her to try that again. But Shadow Dark was too tired to continue. The spell he shot at her had drained all her energy and magic. Plus, the beating she got from Bakura was not helping either. With her last energy spent, she collapsed on the tree branch and closed her eyes while breathing heavily. When Yami saw her make no move, he and Joey started toward the sickly Phoenix.
Yami and Joey bent down and carefully picked Phoenix up. Yugi ran up to them as well to check her. Phoenix's eyes fluttered open slightly, and through her blurred vision saw Yami and Yugi separate. She felt herself sliding into darkness again, so she spoke quickly. "You're him...aren't you? You're the one I've been seeking." she whispered to Yami. He acknowledged her presence but was silent. Then she slipped into unconsciousness. Joey was hysterical. "Wh-wh-what HAPPENED TO HER?!" he fussed. "IS SHE OKAY?! She looks sick! I don't want anything to happen to her! Oh, why oh why oh why.." but was cut short when Tea came up and smacked him in the back of his head. "Would you quit being an idiot?! You're driving me crazy! I'm sure that once we get her to the doctor, she'll be fine! But quit being a basket case! Get a hold of yourself and help us carry Ryou! Yami has Phoenix, so everybody quit being stupid, and lets go!" Everybody looked at her strangely. They had never heard Tea get so irritated before, except when she had been around Mai in the beginning. Nor had they ever heard her make such precise decisions before. They then left the roof.
Elsewhere, Yugi was walking, and suddenly his senses snapped. //Yugi. Something is happening// Yami suddenly said in his mind. //I know, but where?! And who?// //Ryou is in danger. The spirit inside of him is about to released!// //SHOOT! What else is happening?! Is Phoenix up there?!// //I'm afraid so. The girl could be killed if the yami is let out.
