Chapter 3 - Into the demons layer.
-----------------------------------------------
Tears came into his eyes as Jou sat on the floor of where they had just encountered the Darks. "Shizuka." He sobbed, almost silently.
Everyone else stood around Jou, not knowing how to comfort him. "It's ok Jou. We'll get your sister back." Anzu said, laying a hand on Jou's shoulder.
"We never should have been so foolish. We let them take Shizuka and it's all my fault!" Jou yelled.
"Jou it's not your fault! There's no use sitting here mourning over her. We have to take revenge, we'll kill them a…" Malik started, only to get hit across the head by Anzu. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"
"Now's not the time for rash actions. Malik all you care about is hurting people at times, can you at least stop and consider things." Anzu asked. Malik stared dumb found. Shaking her head she replied. "Well first, we have no idea where them who attacked us are, secondly if we harm them then they might harm Shizuka, and thirdly we don't know our way around the dark side of town so we will be easy targets, and we would stand out a mile!"
"Yeah but, we could just kill any dark we come across! They have caused us far to much pain! We lose at least four or five of our kind weekly, if not more! We Should fight back hard! Kill anyone who comes across us and then try and find where they are keeping Shizuka!" Malik retorted.
"Your hopeless!" Anzu laughed.
"No Anzu. Malik's right for a change. We need to get to Shizuka, and the only way to do that is to go into there side of town." Yugi said.
"Yea Anzu, I am right!" Malik said, sticking his tongue out at her.
"Childish to the end." Anzu commented.
"Jou? Will you be ok to come with us or do you want to stay?" Ryou asked, ignoring Malik and Anzu's arguments. He'd seen enough of them to know Malik would win.
"Course I wanna come! She's my sister! I can't abandon her to the torment them things will give her!" Jou shouted, jumping up in rage.
"Jou calm down. Anger won't get you anywhere. We must plan our course of action." Isis said calmly.
"So what we doing then Isis?" Yugi asked.
Isis smiled, happy that she had calmed everyone down with just one sentence. "Ok listen. First we should ask Kokoro for a map. She has been in the darks territory before when she was training. So she has the whole place mapped out. After we have the map, we each need a copy, so Honda you will go and photocopy us a load ok. Actually you go find Kokoro and get the map and photocopy them now. The more time we leave Shizuka alone, the worse she could get."
"Ok, Where shall I meet you all?"
"Here. Next, we need some black paint." Isis said smiling.
"What do we need black paint for?" Yugi asked.
"Don't you think we would stand out just a bit if we need to take flight and our wings are white?"
"Yea but theirs are like a leathery bat wing, ours are feathers." Anzu replied.
"Do you really think they will tell the difference in the night? They will class us as one of their own. No one will ever find out. Now Ryou you go get us the paint please. Two of the large tubs should be enough."
Ryou nodded and ran off down a cut ally.
"Now next thing is our weapons. The ones we use, that don't have the magic properties, are clearly weapons the Light's use by their style. All of our throwing knifes and throwing stars are painted to represent us lights. Malik you still got that star the Dark's threw?"
"Yea, it's here." Malik said, handing his sister the star.
"Look at the markings on this one. Blue and red tinted around the edges with a black line running through each red line. Whereas ours are blue, gold tinted around the edges with a silver line running through each gold line. Malik you need to change all your stars exactly like this one. So get to work. Everyone else give Malik your stars, he will be able to do the job faster than any of you because he has experience in both making and using them."
Everyone soon handed their stars to Malik. "Oh and Anzu, can you go get the coloured ink we need, just get it from the store at the corner of this alley. They will have everything we need." Anzu nodded and ran off.
"Next the knifes. I caught a glimpse of theirs, and their nearly the same as ours, but where we have a brown and gold striped handle, they have black and silver. I will do the knifes when Anzu gets back though. Jou we will need some antidotes encase we get injured whilst in their part, so can you get us some."
"Yea sure. Be right back."
"And now we wait until they all get back. Yugi, you have some experience of throwing stars yea?"
"Yea, more in throwing them though." Yugi laughed.
"Well just help Malik ok."
Soon enough everyone was back, and ready to continue onto faze two of the plan.
Looking over one of the maps Isis smiled, then laughed. Everyone stared at her, wanting to know what was so funny. "What's so funny?" Ryou finally asked.
"Look at the map. They've mapped out all their dungeons, training places, hang outs, everything. Have you read this though. It says 'Demons Layer. No escaping for the Light kind.' It's just funny. They must think Light's would never get hold of this."
"What if they did suspect Light's would get hold of it, and did a wrong map?" Ryou asked.
"Ok then. We won't go in any of these places. Just stay to the paths. Keep your maps on you at all times, and we'll look at what the buildings say ok."
Everyone nodded. The group soon all grew out their wings ready to go. "HOLD IT!" Isis shouted, startling them all.
"What?" Yugi asked.
"What colour are your wings? I think they're white. And what did I say about painting them black? Or did you forget?"
"We forgot." Everyone replied.
Shaking her head, Isis grabbed the paint and summoned them up one by one.
After she had finished everyone else, Anzu was told to paint Isis's wings.
"Don't worry everyone, it's washable!" She laughed.
The group came to the borderline, which separated the Light's side of town to the Dark's side of town. Everyone hesitated, before Jou made the first move and crossed. Everyone else followed. They then made their way further into the Dark's side of town
"Remember keep to ground level and…" Isis started.
"Marik, Bakura, Yami so glad you've returned." A man said from a nearby alley. Each of the Light's froze. "Marik? It's unlike you to be silent, as it is you Bakura and Yami. So where's Seto?" The man again asked.
"Are you talking to us?" Malik asked.
"Yes I am Marik, now where's Seto."
"Look I don't know who you th…" Malik started, but was silence by Anzu and Isis clamping their hands over his mouth. "What's the deal?" Malik whispered.
"Malik, he thinks your someone else…don't blow our cover." Isis replied.
"Marik it's unlike you to let people boss you around, so why you letting these do so?" The man asked.
"Who are you?" Malik asked, taking a step forward.
"It's me Akuma. Now where's Seto? And who are these people you are with?"
"Oh yeah, sorry Akuma. Seto is…has gone to the…erm…the…erm…dungeon where that Light is kept." Malik replied, not knowing what to say.
"Oh wonderful! So you mean you three and Seto caught the Light?"
"Who three?" Malik asked, looking behind, a questioning look on his face.
"You, Yami, Bakura and Seto."
"Oh yeah, that's right we did. We caught her…would you like to lead the way to the dungeon where she is been kept?" Malik asked.
Akuma nodded and led the way…the Light's had got lucky…this time. But why was he calling Malik Marik and who was he calling Yami and Bakura? Everyone was wondering.
"Bakura?" Akuma asked, looking back at the group.
"Who?" Yugi asked.
"Bakura…what's with you? First Marik doesn't know his own name, then you asked who Bakura is, I expected a prank from Marik and Bakura, but not you Yami." Akuma replied.
"Whose Bakura?" Yugi whispered to the group. "And why did he called me Yami?" Everyone just shrugged.
"Same reason their calling me Marik. Good thing it's dark and he can't recognise our true features." Malik replied.
"HEY YOU WHITE HAIRED FREAK!" Akuma shouted.
"Yes?" Ryou replied, hearing about his white hair.
"Finally Bakura. Bout time you answered me. You have training tomorrow an hour more then Marik, Yami, Seto, Mokuba, Mai, and Otogi, because I saw how you left your Death Star Staff, I let you train with it and what do you go and do?"
"Erm…" Ryou replied.
"Well?"
"I don't know." Ryou replied, more confused then ever.
"You left it in the staff cupboard, so that when someone opened the door you staff would crash into the rest and all fall out…and guess who they fell out on? Me that's who!" Akuma shouted.
Malik burst out laughing, as did Ryou, Jou and Honda.
"Nice one Ryou!" Malik yelled through his laughs.
"MALIK!" Isis shouted, noticing he had gave Ryou identity away.
"Isis!" Malik shouted back.
"Erm…whose Ryou? And Malik? And Isis?" Akuma asked glancing over the group.
"Did I say Ryou? I meant Bakura." Malik replied. "Isis is this girl here…I don't know who Malik is, maybe they meant Marik…" Malik replied, hoping he would believe their lies. With luck though he did.
"Oh who are the rest of these? Maybe they could come and show us a little of their moves in the training arena?"
"Yeah ok!" Everyone shouted.
Akuma stared at the so called Yami, and Bakura. "I thought you two hated doing training, as did you Marik?"
"Yea we do…but…we've had a long day, a little show off moves could do it ok." Malik replied, before anyone could.
Akuma smiled and led them to the training area.
Once there everyone was given a virtual opponent to defeat, using any weapon of their choice.
Within minutes they had made mince meat of their virtual opponents.
"You didn't even break you record!" Akuma yelled.
"Yami you should of defeated it in 23 seconds! Why did you take so long?"
"Be…Because I am…warn out from my run in with the Light's." Yugi replied, thinking back to their battle with the Dark's.
"Very well, we'll continue with you training tomorrow, see if you can break your record then. Come on though, I want to see that girl you managed to swipe.
They nodded and began walking to the dungeons…
Meanwhile with the real group of Darks.
"That was too easy I still say." Bakura said.
"Yea I agree." Yami chuckled.
"I still can't believe you didn't let us come!" Mai whined.
"Akuma said only us!" Seto said.
"Why have you taken me?" Shizuka cried from her cell.
"Aww shut up!" Marik said, "you'll find out when Akuma gets here…what's taking him so long?"
"I don't know, he should be here soon." Yami replied, looking at his watch.
"I'll go stand watch for him outside." Seto said, getting up and heading off to thee door.
"Hey there's Seto at the door." Akuma said after 5 minutes of walking. "GREETINGS SETO!" Akuma shouted.
The one named Seto didn't reply. "Seto?!" Akuma then questioned again.
"Akuma, who are you with?" Seto asked, recognising the familiar voice.
"What? Are you crazy as well? It Yami, Marik and Bakura…and some of their new friends."
"What are you on about? Yami, Marik and Bakura and in here with the rest!"
"Busted!" Malik said growing out his wings and flying off.
The rest of the group did the same and flew off after Malik. "Hey wait. We can't fly off to the Light's side, then they will really know who we are!" Honda shouted to the rest.
"SETO! GET EVERYONE TO CHASE THEM!!!" Akuma shouted to Seto.
He nodded and ran to get everyone. Soon everyone was outside and had grown out their wings and where already flying off.
"Seto who are they? Are they Dark's because their wings look different then ours." Yami asked, taking the lead.
"I don't think so, otherwise why would they try to trick Akuma? But they could be Dark's…low level Dark's in training.
"Malik their catching up!" Anzu shouted, looking behind her.
"Just keep moving…they will get tired faster then we do!" Malik replied.
"But what if they are the ones we fought earlier?" Yugi asked.
"We don't know their level so it…what if their at our level? That way we have a chance of outrunning them!" Malik replied.
"Hey your right…Kokoro said there are no Dark's that are above our level, but some are the same!" Ryou said.
"I say we stay and fight. We can kill them all." Malik shouted, stopping, and hovering. Everyone did likewise…
