Chapter 5: Plan of Attack
Nobody needed to guess that Yami was undeniably pissed. Bakura knew all too well how Yami felt because not only was Bakura a yami, but also he, too, had a brother. Losing your own brother right under your nose must be pretty humiliating for Yami.
"Yami, I can still sense his energy trail. Will you allow me to accompany you on the search?"
Yami, though in great pain and anguish, accepted the offer. Then Mahaad spoke,
"Master Yami, I may be able to help shorten your search. Just before Yuugi left here, he told me tell anyone who asked that he went to his grandfather's dwelling to get something, though he did not specify what he was getting. I pray to Ra that you find him and bring him home safe."
Yami and Bakura, followed by Yoh, started walking towards Sugoroku Motou's game store. While they were walking, Yami kept trying to understand why he could not prevent whatever happened to his precious aibou. Was this his punishment for neglecting Yuugi?
He continued to ponder this until they reached the front door of their destination. To their surprise the door was open a crack. When the three boys walked in, they gasped. Everything was in shambles and Mr. Motou was nowhere to be found. As they turned to leave, they noticed an envelope taped to their door with Yami's name on the front written in blood; but whose blood?
When Yami went to remove the envelope from the door, a horrifying image flashed in his mind. The image was of Yuugi, beaten and bloody, shackled to a giant granite slab jutting from the floor. Yami yelled out in pain and fell to his knee. Bakura and Yoh knelt beside, trying to comfort.
"What did you see, Yami? Is Yuugi okay?" asked Yoh.
Bakura looked at Yoh and said,
"No, Yuugi is not okay, he is dying. Whoever kidnapped him has beaten him to within an inch of his life."
Yoh was speechless and full of shock. He had only known Yuugi for two days and now if they didn't save him, he might lose one of his friends forever. Yami was trembling as he tried to open the envelope; so much so that Bakura had to open it for him and read it:
'Yami,
First, allow me to introduce myself. I am
Pegasus J. Crawford and I have captured your little
hikari, Yuugi. If you want him back, you must first
defeat three opponents awaiting you at my mansion:
Mistress Anzu, Faust VIII, and someone you know
very well, Marik. The second piece of paper in the
envelope is a map to get to my mansion. Good luck!
Pegasus J. Crawford
Yami stood up with the most furious look on his on his face,
"MARIK!!! YOU BASTARD!!! When I find you, I'm going rip your frickin' guts out!"
Yoh tried to calm him,
"Yami, please, save your strength for the shaman fight. Right now, we need to come up with a plan of attack. We'll get Yuugi back, I'm sure of it."
Thankfully, that managed to curb Yami's anger long enough for them to walk home. All along the way, Yami was formulating a plan; a risky one no doubt, but if it worked, they would get Yuugi back safely.
After taking a while to calm down, Yami laid out the battle plan.
"There are three shamans that we must battle with before we face Pegasus and none of them should be taken lightly, especially the third one, Marik. Everyone should be on guard and expect the unexpected. Now, we must work as a team to find our opponents weaknesses and once it is exposed, we attack it all at once."
Yoh stood up and said,
"Well, I haven't fought against Anzu or Marik, but I have fought with Faust and he isn't easy to beat. This is because he is a necromancer; he can bring the dead to life. He could command an entire army of the undead. I also know that his guardian ghost is his dead girlfriend, Eliza."
"Thank you for that information, Yoh. It will be taken into consideration." said Yami.
With that said and done, everyone spent the rest of the day and most of the night training fiercely.
Marik is going to die a slow and agonizing death. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Please R&R ï
