1Sorry!!! I deserve to b shot and/or flamed to death I no!! SORRY!! I have no excuse... Though I could just say it's hurricane problems... yeah that's what I'll do
They were back.
Alyssa blinked into the fluorescent lights, quite unused to them. She tried to turn her head to check on her comrades, but found it extremely difficult, as if she had not moved for weeks or months. (Which in retrospect, she probably hadn't.) She spotted her beloved Yami, sitting up and struggling to stand, and wondered why he suddenly had so much energy. Gazing beyond him, her own adrenaline level shot up and she was standing with out remembering getting to her feet.
Marik had their friends trapped against the wall and looked ready to finish them off. Several of them were already showing large bruises, as if they'd been slammed against the wall, and Joey, Yugi, and Tea were missing, presumably in the Shadow Realm. Bakura and Yami were also standing now, but Carly looked to still be in a coma. Worrying about her, Alyssa made eye contact with Yami and Bakura. All three nodded. Alyssa to the left, Bakura to the right and Yami would attack from the middle.
Ryou, with a shocked expression on his face, noticed what Alyssa, Yami and Bakura were doing and started to levitate the now unoccupied heart machine beside Bakura's old bed. Marik noticed Ryou's shocked face, but thankfully interpreted it wrong.
"So boy, finally realized that you are going to die? Ready to feel pain beyond pain, to meet Anubis and Ammut?
Meanwhile, Alyssa was creating a sticky glob of air and floating it closer to Marik, ready to immobilize him when the signal came from Yami. Yami himself was fostering a growing ball of shadow energy, now about four feet in diameter, and in sight of growing taller than its owner. Bakura had chosen a different route. Behind their master stood Diabound, Headless Knight, Earl of Demise, and some other monsters that were too creepy to think about, yet alone look at.
Yami nodded to her. Her bauble of air hit Marik and slammed him into the wall beside their friends.
"Wha...?" Marik sputtered, but before he could finish the word, Yami's shadow ball hit him and he was too weak to talk more. Bakura's monsters moved in, systematically slashing at Marik with their swords or claws, depending on which they had.
Marik suddenly started laughing. "Fools, darkness cannot kill a creature born of itself." He continued laughing and more veins popped out of his face and neck. "You cannot kill me! HAHHAHAHAHA! And the woman who is not of shadow is too weak! AHAHAHAHA!" Marik continued to laughing maniacally.
Alyssa used a power that she had yet to use on her friends.
Guys, I need you to get out of here.
Her friends all sent her a questioning glance.
Males, all of you need to leave, NOW!
Trying to do something that you had only attempted once before was not as east as it looks. Just as the door shut behind Seto, Alyssa grunted and a water siren emerged from her hand, beautifully dangerous as ever and singing a sweet melody.
While the females in the room, wisely backed away form the dangerous being, Marik (sticky air removed) moved toward the siren, entranced by her. Not wanting to see what her creation was about to do to Marik, Alyssa turned away, her hands over her face. She could not, however, block out the appalling sounds of flesh being torn from bone, blood running over skin, cloth, and finally the trickling of blood over the ground, nor could she block out Marik's screams, or as he chillingly grew quieter until he stopped suddenly.
Chancing a glance behind her, Alyssa felt it sage to recall her beast. Determined not to vomit as she stepped over the bloody mess that had once been called Marik, Alyssa exited the room to tell the boys it was safe. Really safe! Feeling more than slightly elated, Alyssa passed on the news. Instantly, hugs broke out in the group, everyone totally happy that Marik was out of their life forever!
"You did it!" Yami called, swinging Alyssa around.
"No," she countered. "We did it."
"Now where could they be....? Bakura asked the empty plain of the Shadow Realm. He had been sent to retrieve Yugi, Joey and Tea. Bakura had checked over 90 of what he knew that Marik knew of the Shadow Realm- most of it dungeons, bars, and (Bakura shuddered to think about it) the "hangouts" of certain women monsters, such as Harpy Lady- the Japanese version. Disturbing. But back to the subject, he had to find Yami's shrimp, lapdog, and Tea.
"Bakura?" came Yugi's weak voice from somewhere behind the white-haired man.
Success
Bakura turned around, demonic grin fixed on his face. Why pass up this excellent chance for a practical joke?
"You're not possessed by him are you?" Joey asked, a bit of a terrified edge entering his voice.
Me? A mind slave of that weakling Marik? Ha! What a laugh! Playing his part, Bakura let his eyes roll back further, said nothing, and wondered over to Yugi, Tea, and Joey's cell. Yugi and Joey pushed Tea behind them and all three scooted to the back of their cell. Bakura summoned keys and opened the door, slowly, agonizing the prisoners. Stepping up to them, Bakura raised his arms, as if to attack. Joey, Tea, and Yugi all cringed. Bakura wrapped all three of them in a hug, picking them up, and transporting them home.
In a mix of surprise and confusion, Yugi, Tea, and Joey blinked into the lighting of Alyssa and Yami's new home. Everything smelled like new paint and tile.
"PARTY!!"
Later, much later, after much partying, dancing, and bad singing, everyone had finally calmed down enough to have a normal conversation. Now the group was spread around Yami and Alyssa's great room, looking expectantly at Yami, Alyssa, Bakura, and Carly.
Finally, Tristan spoke. "So what happened anyway?"
Um, yeah I'm looking for someone to beta this for me (edit old chapters for anything) so if you're interested e-mail me at alycol14 (minus the spaces of course) also the sequels to this story will need beta'd soon, so mail me if you want to do that either.:D
Carly, Hannah and I are writing a story about a guy being turned into a girl (which will eventually be posted when it's finished, as work on it is so sporadic) so if you have any funny ideas that relate to that, I would be oh so grateful to hear them.
Anyways, onto
