"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
"That dog thing took Steve!"
"And Bakura too..." Ryoura said in a low voice, looking around him for his other self. Everything had happened so fast, he didn't even see what they went, clenching his fist, he turned to the others. "Whata we do?"
"We have to find out where they went." Joe thought out loud, folding his arms and looking over at Yujhi for idea's. His friend was obviously clueless as to what they could do, and shook his head. "See? This is where Steve comes in handy. The one time we need him and he's not here."
Yugi sighed heavily and looked over at Ryoura. "We have to find Bakura."
"But Yugi-"
"Before we can find Steve." Yugi finished forcefully, speaking over Joe. "Most likely those dogs have taken them both to the same place. If we find Bakura we will more then likely find Steve. Ryoura? Do you know how to use the magic of the Millennium Ring?"
Ryoura raised his fist in front of him, looking at the Millennium Ring hanging from his wrist. "Ya..."
"The Millennium Ring is drawn to Millennium magic, which means it could lead us to Bakura." Yugi explained, paying little attention to Ryoura's quiet attitude. "Can you use it?"
Looking down again, Ryoura nodded, jerking his hand and catching the Ring in his hand, holding it out in front of him. He closed his eyes and began to focus his magic. "Hang on guys..."
"In my brothers dungeons, waiting for the ceremony."
"Wha?" Steve looked up at the entrance to the cells, spotting a strange looking girl outside. She didn't really look... human... what with red eyes and black skin, as well as claw-like hands. "Can you-?"
"Read your mind? Ya." She said, nodding.
"What, I mean who are you?"
"Who am I? I am Sinestra." The girl introduced herself, bowing mockingly and grinning. "And can't you tell? I thought you where supposed to be the smart one Kaiba..."
Steve's eye's widened. "How... how do you know my name?"
"That's not importable, let's just say you look a lot like someone I've met before, as does your friend Joe." Sinestra answered lazily. "If you must know, the Shadow Realm is the closest dimension to ours. Remains of banished souls and destroyed monsters as sometimes transformed into creatures. My brother and I are the children of previous magically created creatures. Our parents where part human... part Red Eye's Black Dragon."
It made sense; she seemed to have similar qualities to the dragon, and he glare just as intimidating. Still, Steve hid his fear and kept a cool, calm appearance as he glared back at her. "What do you want with me?"
"You and Bakura will find out soon enough. Until then, just make yourself comfortable." Sinestra grinned and turned her back, slamming the cell door behind her. She could hear Steve struggling to get free be trying to open the door, but it was hopeless. "Seto..." She mumbled to herself, lost in thought.
It had been many millennia sense that mortal had escaped her powers, along with another named Joey Wheeler and a more powerful human by the name of Yami Mouto. Once residing secretly in the safety of a Millennium Item, she tried to release herself from it by absorbing the power of their souls, but they where not easily fooled, especially not Seto. Yami had been her closes ticket out of this world, as whatever deep wish she forced him to think must have been very manipulative, but Seto Kaiba had summoned his Blue Eye's and blasted her from the Shadow Realm, back to here.
So she always hoped to have either a Wheeler, Kaiba or Mouto for her sacrifice, she didn't care about her brothers. "Steve..." She whispered, withdrawing a dagger and running her finger across the blade. "Your mine..." She hissed, eye's reflecting a sinister red glow, grinning maniacally.
They found their way inside relatively easy, seeing as their where no guards, and slowly made their way down the corridors, Yugi leading the way. The castle was so quiet you could here a pin drop, so their footsteps sounded abnormally louder then normal. This put them on the edge, nerves causing much more caution and fear the necessary.
Suddenly, there was a loud banging noise, causing the group to leap and hide as quickly as possible. Yugi pecked out, but they was nothing there. Curious but cautious, he stepped out slowly. The noise was coming from the corridor in front of him. He thought for a minute, before walking forwards.
"Yugi!" Yujhi whispered harshly, but he didn't seem to hear, nor care. Ryoura was next to follow, before the last two gave in. Yugi walked down the corridor, listening with curiosity, as the banging grew louder. He rounded a corner and realised the banging was coming from one of the cells. He ran foreword, abandoning the rest of the group, and looked in. "Steve?"
"Huh?" Steve looked up at Yugi, rubbing his shoulder. "What the-? What are you doing here?!" He asked harshly, though kept his voice low.
"What are you doing trying to knock a foot width door down? Never mind, just stand back." Yugi took a few steps back, as did Steve, and raised his hand. A ball of magic appeared in his hand, shooting at the door. Te magic sparked as it charged towards the door, striking the lock, but barely making a dent. Yugi growled and powered up again, shooting another blast of magic.
"Hey Steve?" Ryoura called over. "Do you know where Baku is?"
"If you mean Bakura, he's in another cell-"
"Who cares!" Joe exclaimed, looking at Ryoura as if he'd lost his mind. "Aren't you glad to be rid of that freak? All he does is cause trouble and try to kill us! He's the reason we're here! I say let whoever's behind this do what they want with him, every dimension would be better without him." Joe looked back at the door, but suddenly received a powerful blow across the face. He fell to the floor and looked up. "What the... Ryoura what was that for?!"
Everyone had frozen. Ryoura didn't look shocked at his actions, and his fist was still clenched, head lowered. Yujhi looked at his friend with surprise. Ryoura was never violent, never! "Ryoura what's wrong?"
"You just don't understand!" Ryoura yelled, looking up. Tears slid down his face and his voice was shaky. "You don't know what your talking so just leave me alone!"
"Ryoura wait!" Yugi called as Ryoura turned and ran down the corridor. They couldn't split up, it was to dangerous. But Yugi had to stay and get Steve out. "Guys go after him!"
Before either Yujhi or Joe could move, though, a strange swirl of black came out of the ground, forming into a figure hovering above them. Sinestra opened her eyes and grinned down at them. "Ahh, so you fell for the bait after all..."
"What?"
"I wanted the Mouto's, Kaiba's and Wheeler's for my sacrifice. That's why I only got my dog's to capture one of you, the other's where sure to follow." She explained simply. Grinning down, she realised Yugi had abandoned his previous task and was standing protectively in front of his friends. "Oh, going to try and fight me now are you? Fine then, you won't win anyway..."
"We'll see about that..." Yugi whispered, as a blue ball or fire-like magic appeared in his hands. He had to win...
But, just as he was about to reach for the door handle, a blast of magic shot out of nowhere, paralysing him. "What's going on?" He thought, looking around. It hurt to even attempt to move, but he spotted a form emerging from the shadows. It was Sinestra's brother, a much more powerful being them her.
"I'm not waiting for my sister..." His voice whispered harshly, reaching out his claw-like hands and gripping Bakura around the neck, lifting him painfully off the floor. "I'm using my sacrifice now..."
