Chapter 8: Evil Destroyed
After Marik's gory defeat, everyone traveled down the corridor leading to Pegasus' chambers. Half way there, Yami heard Yuugi's cry again, only this time it sounded weak and tired,
Help me Yami, please...
Yami paused and cried out,
/I'M COMING YUUGI!!/
As they reached the end of the corridor, they instantly knew this was the right room because there was a life-size pegasus mounted in the middle of the two doors. Then the doors opened and the group walked in. Although most of the room was dark, one section of the room was lit. Everyone noticed that at the other end of the room was Yuugi shackled to the slab.
Everyone gasped in horror when they saw the condition Yuugi was in. Every square inch of him was covered in blood. Cuts and bruises marred his delicate skin. His eye was black and swollen. The only thing covering him was a frayed loincloth. He was now unconscious.
Yami ran as fast as he could to try and save Yuugi, but was repelled by a magical force field. Yami landed on his back ten feet away.
"Poor Yami, did you honestly think that I was going to give up Yuugi without a fight?" said a voice in the shadows.
After that was said, Pegasus appears and walks up to Yuugi and licks some blood off Yuugi's face.
Gaining consciousness, Yuugi slowly opened his eyes only to see Pegasus crushing their lips together. Yuugi squeaks in pain; Yami screeches furiously at Pegasus, teeth and claws bared. With all the energy he could muster, Yuugi used that energy to push Pegasus away. The force was so great that not only was Pegasus knocked off his feet but also Yami and his group.
Suddenly, Seto steps forward and summons Mina,
"Mina, destroy Pegasus while I rescue Yuugi."
The dragon spirit nodded and charged towards Pegasus. Pegasus summons one of his most deadly monster spirits, Relinquished. However, instead of absorbing Mina, it became Mina. The enemy knocked Mina away, causing severe injuries to Seto. Yami integrated with Black Paladin and attacked the fake Mina. Since Yami was stronger than the fake, he easily destroyed Relinquished.
Now Pegasus was desperate to win, so he had no choice but to send out weak monsters to protect him. Unfortunately, his pitiful monsters were no match for the group of angry shamans. Finally, after using up all his furyoku and having nothing left to summon, Pegasus was on his knees, begging for his life. Now it was going to take a miracle to stop Yami from bestowing the same fate on Pegasus as was bestowed on the previous three opponents.
Yami approached Pegasus and was about to attack when he faintly heard Yuugi's voice. Weak and dying, he spoke,
"Please Yami, no more killing. There has been enough blood spilt because of me."
His tired eye began to fill with tears he pleaded with Yami to spare Pegasus.
Aishiteru oniichan. whispered Yuugi as he breathed his last breath.
Seeing a chance to kill Yuugi while Yami's back was turned, Pegasus pulled out a hidden knife and threw it directly at Yuugi, hitting him square in the chest. Yuugi gasped in pain as the blade entered his chest, pierced his heart, and exited through his back. Yami stood there frozen in shock. He didn't see it coming and now his brother was going to die for sure. As life fled his body, Yuugi's head slowly dropped, the look of agony still on his face, and his body went limp.
Yami turned and walked over to Pegasus, closed his eyes and said,
"I'm sorry Yuugi that your last words are to be in vain, but Pegasus must and will be destroyed." growled Yami.
Yami place an open hand in front of Pegasus's face and blasted the bastard to ashes. Yami sneered at the pile of ashes where Pegasus was and said,
"Serves you right, you insensitive prick."
Yami walked over to the lifeless body of his younger brother, removed the knife from Yuugi's chest, and shattered the shackles with a single wave of his hand. Yami caught Yuugi in his arms. No longer able to contain his pain and anguish, Yami raised his head and howled as loud as he could. Mina, Silva's eagle spirit, and Makyura followed suit. Just when everyone thought that hope was lost, Mahaad appears with some good news.
Yami: How could you kill my aibou like that?!
Kajita: It makes the story more entertaining.
Yami: And what's this thing with me being a monster?
Kajita: I wanted you to be extremely intimidating!
Yami: (grabs a machete)
Kajita: Ack! Please R&R!! (runs for her life)
