Note: the bad dude is going to be called 'he' and 'him' for most of this chapter

Ryou stood there shocked into silence, he'd won he'd finally gotten Yugi back,

'But why?' he kept asking himself, Yugi didn't show any signs of having any power of sorts, unless you count his incredible logic as a power. Tears started to well up in Ryou's eyes, he wanted Yugi back Marik noticed and reached over to comfort him

"It's okay Ryou,"

"No it's not, I want Yugi back." He cried into Marik's shoulder

"Yeah I know but there's nothing we can do," he said patting him on the back

"Oh yes there is," Yami said having cleaned up his nose, making a nice bloody spot on the sheet.

"What do you mean?" Marik asked uneasily.

"They may have Yugi, but we have you, and you my winged friend know where they are hiding," Yami replied punching him in the shoulder lightly.

"Yes but you must not have been listening I already told you I haven't been inside there for years and he has tight security, we're only you, me, and a yet to truly fledge angel, no offence"

"But what about your angels and demons they could help," Marik's anger flared at that,

"I will not even think about putting them in danger!" he almost yelled

"B-but what about Mako," Ryou said sitting up and wiping the tears off his face

"Mako?" Yami said arching an eyebrow

"Yeah Mako," Ryou quickly flashed up an image of him for Yami along with a few of what he'd seen while he was at Marik's home Yami's eyes grew wider as Ryou showed him

"He's only seven years old he just acts like he's older; I only put him in charge while I'm away because I can rely on him to take things seriously when in trouble, I can't take him," Marik explained

"We don't need him to come with us," Yami interrupted

"We'll go alone, more people means more chance of getting someone hurt," Yami stood wobbling a little before shaking his head and standing up straight

"All right Marik, lead the way I know where the old building is you have to show where the new one is," he said moving towards to door he turned to look at them

"Well, come on," he said waving for them to get up

"Yami I..." Ryou started but looking at Yami he noticed how much Yami knew he was risking to get to Yugi. Yami was barely standing, the only thing keeping him up was adrenalin, his scratches were still bleeding and he was standing gingerly on one of his legs but he still kept going

"Yami you shouldn't..."

"I can and I will, the longer we wait the more of a chance he has to kill Yugi, and I don't want him to die," as Yami said that he was slowly breaking down his knees collapsed from under him and he fell to the floor, sobbing, Marik knelt in front of him

"Yami, think about this logically; do you think he would've have gone through all this trouble just to murder Yugi?"

"No," he replied.

"Well then why don't you sit down and rest for a little bit and then we can go after him," Marik said putting one of Yami's arms around his shoulder and lifting him slowly. Yami shook his head

"Yami please listen to him, you are in absolutely no shape to try to break into a maximum security lab," Ryou pleaded trying to get Yami to rest a little bit. Yami slowly nodded and let Marik set him down on the bed, he flopped down sideways onto the pillow and almost instantly was asleep. His last thought was

'Hang on Yugi, please.'

'Where am I?' Yugi thought sluggishly

'Yami!' he thought as his brain started to work faster he lifted his head all he could see was black. He tried to lift his hands but they wouldn't move he couldn't move anything not even his wings, he realized it was a blindfold blocking his vision and it scared, him he started to whimper. He felt something brush against his face and froze tilting his head away from where he had felt it come from; heard breathing, where ever he was there were three others with him whether they were blindfolded too he didn't know until he felt someone start to untie his and he leaned his head back. The blindfold dropped off onto his chest he blinked a couple times and looked around he was in a huge office with bookshelves lining the walls and a huge desk in front of him; that was when Yugi noticed that there was one demon and one angel standing at either side if the desk their eyes were blank and their posture was slightly slouched, but they were in no way inattentive. Now where was the one who had undone the blind fold; he very quickly wished he could take that thought back because he came around the chair Yugi had been strapped to. It was 'him' Yugi's eyes widened in fear

"Hello Yugi," he said quietly; Yugi started to struggle trying to get away.

"Don't struggle I don't want to hurt you," he whispered holding onto Yugi at his elbows; just then Yugi noticed that his chest didn't hurt anymore in fact the cast he had had on was gone; but that didn't matter to him now, though, because 'he' was inches from his face those large almost pupil-less lavender eyes staring into his.

"I want you to do something for me," he hissed again Yugi gulped and whimpered as 'he' started to untie him from the chair

"A large favor," he said as he stood Yugi up.

"W-w-what are you going to do to me?" Yugi asked fearfully

"Oh, it's not what I'm going to do to you, it's what you are going to do for me," he said

"W-what do you mean?" Yugi asked cautiously as 'he' led him towards his desk. He pushed a button on the keyboard of the computer and Yugi heard a loud humming noise he turned around to look where the noise had come from to see that one of the bookshelves had slid back to reveal a long, steel walled, set of stairs he led Yugi down the stairs as the angel and demon, who Yugi was very curious about, followed silently. A metal door slid open at the bottom and Yugi gasped the room was gigantic and he could see why instantly the room held what looked like around fifty glass tanks all of them were connected to a super computer at the center but what had made him gasp were the people inside the tanks. Almost all were angels and demons some of them Yugi had never seen or heard of that actually looked slightly like dragons with scales coating the backs of their arms and sparingly coated around the fronts of their arms; their legs were also covered in scales all the way around and they had slightly clawed nails on their feet and had larger scales covering their backs between the wings, and up their necks. Yugi couldn't help but notice one of the closer female ones looked quite attractive around the front where the scales stopped and the skin began; a pink tinge ran along his face as he approached the dragon girl. Looking up at her floating form inside the tank he couldn't help but notice also that the girl's eyes were open and her mouth was moving as she took in air from the oxygen mask. Yugi wanted to reach out and touch her face, but as he raised his hand he realized that the glass prevented it, the girl's eyes moved to him she put out her hand against the glass and Yugi met her.

"You want to save her, don't you?" he heard 'him' whisper in his ear Yugi nodded.

"You hold the key to her freedom to all of their freedom," he whispered again Yugi turned to look at him,

"What do you mean?" he asked again 'he' steered him away from the dragon girl's tank and towards the computer and sat him down in front of the big screen

"See those keys?" Yugi looked down at the keys on the board they were a mix of what looked like Japanese, Greek, Russian, and English but somehow he understood it, all of it.

"Somewhere in your brain is a password that will give all of them life and open their tanks type it in and you'll be able to meet her and all of your brothers and sisters," he said again standing up straight and walking off among the tanks

"Yes sir," Yugi said his eyes had glazed over and in a hypnotic state he started typing like he had done it his entire life, when he had never even touched a computer before, quite suddenly there was a loud buzzer noise and 'he' started grinning sadistically as the buzzer ended and a loud hum replaced it accompanied by the clank of metal on metal the whole room seemed to shake by the noise. The glass tanks drained of the liquid that the children were floating in and they slowly sank to the bottom; the glass rose and the children flopped out of the tanks most of them coughing as they breathed in their first real breath of air the dragon children coughed and hacked before they slowly exhaled their first breaths accompanied by a little bit of smoke, the angels struggled to free their wings from the sticky stuff still stuck in their feathers. Yugi shook his head his eyes returning to their normal sparkling violet and he ran over to the dragon girl he had seen first, she was still struggling slightly to free her wings and release her first breath of smoke and air he knelt down next to her and rolled her over her scales, now that he could see them properly, were dark blue she was still coughing trying to cling to Yugi with her clawed fingers, looking up at him desperately. Yugi finally decided to try something that he had only seen once before he tipped her head back a little and, trying to ignore the fact that she was still naked, he kissed her drawing out the breath that had been trapped in her chest gaining a little of the smoky taste with it. He drew back and she stared back at him smiling slightly she had pretty violet eyes and long blond hair

"What is your name?" he asked her innocently

"Mai," she said quietly. He helped her sit up and started to separate her wings from her scales as others lay sleeping at the base of their tanks 'he' walked among them looking for any who showed signs of imperfections, Yugi then noticed it and thought,

'What is he going to do with me?' Mai stretched out her wings and turned to give him a hug Yugi blushed. As she did 'he' walked over to the two Yugi looked up from Mai's scaly yet soft shoulder and realized slowly who exactly he was looking at and held a little tighter to Mai's body burying his head in her shoulder 'he' knelt down and pried Yugi off of Mai and removed her from him Yugi tried to keep a hold on her but 'he' grabbed hold of his collar and dragged Yugi away from her leaving Mai to sit there on the cold floor staring after him

"I'll come back," he mouthed to her

"Okay," she mouthed back. 'He' picked him up off the floor once they were well away from Mai Yugi was scared again so he settled for cowering away from him

"W-what are you going to do to me?" he asked

"You've done what I want now I'll repay you, you get a chance to see your 'friends' again," Yugi looked at him wandering what the catch was; this was the man that had killed thousands, had left him to die, and had made all of these new children, though it was a slight miracle, it was still wrong, then he leaned down and whispered barely audible

"As you kill them" he laughed evilly backing away Yugi's eyes widened, that was the catch.

"No! I won't hurt Yami or Ryou"

"You don't have a choice in that matter. Get him!" he commanded. Before Yugi could react the angel that had been following them pounced on him Yugi screeched as he felt like he was being struck by a never-ending lightning bolt he tried to get the other off of him but he was to weak and soon he felt like the electricity was sucking away his energy until he couldn't move. The angel got off of him as Yugi's chest heaved up and down trying to stay awake the last thing he heard was

"You will obey master Malik and you will kill them."

Gruzzee: whoa that's definitely a twist Yugi has just helped give life to his new brothers and sisters (don't know if that's good or not) and he's got a crush awww!

Cazi: yeah I guess so but what about Yami and Ryou?

Gruzzee: they're coming just hang on.
