Goddess: Now that Bakura and Loki are back in action and idiots again we can begin our next chapter.
Loki: Why did you have to hit me so hard?
Bakura: I don't remember what happened in the last chapter is that normal?
Ryou: (Puts baseball bat away) Yes…Bakura…Yes it is.
Bakura: Wait why do you have a baseball bat?
Ryou Swings bat and hits Bakura.
Loki: That's got to be at least a home run.
Goddess: No it was a bad pitch on Bakura's part it's going to go foul.
A gate that magically appears impales Bakura.
Ryou: Ha! Bakura! I am finally free!
Bakura Grabs Ryou
Goddess and Loki hold up large black curtain.
Ryou screams can be heard from behind curtain, use your own imagination
"Good bye to all who knew me in this land for I am returning home… Even if home is only a pile of ruins which waits for a new beginning here in this land." From the scroll "Secrets", subtitled "Home."
Chapter 4: Undo
Ryou trusted the spear but pulled it back just inches from Bakura's chest. He stood there frozen for what seemed like forever in that moment trying to choice weather to strike and kill or leave and be injured. He just stared at this spirit. Why can't I strike him? What's wrong with me! Every time in insure myself into attacking I stop… It is his eyes; their eyes are the same…Thoth…
Inferno finally reemerged from deep in Ryou's heart. "I am surprised you remembered my name even after all of this." He said in a cheerless tone, "For now I must break your heart again."
Ryou feel back from Bakura still staring at him not blinking not saying a word just backing away. The spear returned to its less threatening form as a spearhead. It's not possible…
----Flashback----
"Thoth!" A little boy called into the dark mouth of a cave. "Thoth, please come out I promise I won't be bad anymore and mommy finally stopped crying."
There was a slight rustling in the cave; the boy did not budge, until another boy about his age emerged from the cave. The boys looked identical both having beautiful white hair, dark chocolate eyes and the same fair skin accompanied by a thin-build feminine look.
"Ryou, why did you come here?" Thoth asked looking at him. Ryou looked down at his feet and kicked a rock. He sighed deeply then looked up.
"Mom has been crying because she is worried about you." He replied. "The doctors said we should both be there because she could return to Apollo at anytime." Thoth looked at him; his eyes began to fill with rage. "Why are you here then!" He yelled. "GO BACK TO MOTHER!"
"Not without you, Mom says she forgives you." Ryou replied taking at punch in the face from Thoth. "Please Thoth, Mommy wants to see you before she dies. Didn't Mom earn it even after what we did?"
Thoth took his brothers hand and they walked back to their house to their dieing mother.
----End----
"Your so post to be dead!" Ryou screamed backing farther away from Bakura. "I cannot kill you again! Just stay away! I won't let you kill her again!" He screamed before regaining his calm, emotionless express. " I am sorry for that outburst but now it is time for you to die. I will insure-" Ryou was interrupted by the sound of clanging jewelry.
Two teenage girls appeared from the darkness of the ally. Both girls looked identical, dressed in matching plated gowns, decorated in the same, turquoise necklaces and bracelets as well as gold bracelets.
"The Mistress…" The first girl said.
"…is tired of your games…" The second girl said.
"…she wants you to come back now…" The first girl continued.
"…as in right away." The second girl finished.
"Let us finish them off." They said together.
Ryou looked at the two girls in suspicion then turned and fled to a black sports car waiting down the street. As for Marik who's injuries had not healed yet he was in more trouble for now there were two enemies not just one and to make it worse he did not know who they were.
Both girls giggled with excitement before releasing two demons from 'home' on them. "Good luck boys…" The first girl said. "we hope to see you again." The second girl finished as they disappeared into the shadows leaving two hideous demons before the four boys.
Inside the sports car, Jannon drove Ryou back towards the house, where Mistress would meet them. Ryou was just as he had been before unconscious in the passenger side to the car; he had gone to see Inferno. Jannon watched the brilliant feature of his face in the full light. "I wonder... why did they change you?" She asked herself as she referred to Ryou. Ryou smiled lightly in his dream state as if he had heard her.
Once they reached the house she and the twins, girls from the ally, carried Ryou into the house to Mistress. Mistress looked the boy over affectionately before placing him one of two separation stones. Mistress glanced at Ryou for a final time before beginning to chant some sort of ancient spell in that ancient language, which can be understood by any race. When she was finished Ryou awoke again but this time in an even darker trace. She gave him one order.
"Bring me, Yugi, the boy with multicolored hair. Bring me the Barrier Child."
With that Ryou was off again only to be followed by the twins. Ryou went back to a familiar place, his old home he had shared with Bakura. The he gathered two very important partners he had left behind before because he could not control their true power in his previous forms.
Now with his four most loyal companions he was going to launch his final attack against Bakura and the others and retrieve the Barrier Child for Mistress.
Marik had engaged the two demons in a battle that seemed to last for hours even though it had only been about 30 minutes since Ryou had left. The demons left behind also looked identical except their masks. Both demons walked on all fours, had at least 3 rows of razor sharp teeth, long bony tails, and plated armor backs. They also introduced themselves, the one wearing a red mask, name was Mercy and the one wearing the blue masks name was Sorrow. Marik fell for the tenth and final time, he could not stand up again to avoid another mind shattering attack from the two beasts. Yugi was unable to hold another stable shield so it was almost impossible for him to insure Marik's protection. Suddenly something clicked within Yugi's mind and a gigantic force field surrounded Mercy and Sorrow who escaped after changing form and returning to the twin's side. Marik turned to Yugi to see him standing but it looked more like he was altering mind sets just as Ryou had.
"Yami, quickly awaken Yugi!" Marik said attempting to stand but had to be helped by both Bakura and Marik. Yami shock Yugi but he did not stir so Yami sent a surge of energy through their mind link and Yugi snapped out of the trance. He looked around in mystification as he tried to remember what had happened.
"Yugi?" Yami asked looking at his timid, perplexed other. But a sudden calm wave came over Yugi and he was back to his normal joyful, cheerful self again. "Are you alright?"
"I am now but a moment ago I was heading towards something… Something that seemed warm and inviting yet as I got closer it began to get darker and colder and I saw something." Yugi said look at Yami then to Marik and the others.
"What did you see?" Bakura asked looking down at the small light.
"I saw Ryou and a few other people heading towards that place." Yugi answered. "When I tried to stop Ryou by tugging on his sleeve he simply looked at me and replied 'I have to go home.' And kept walking."
Bakura looked at Marik but by now he had passed out. Marik had fought so hard against three very unstoppable enemies and held out against them all until the very end. Bakura helped carry Marik back to the house where they laid him on the floor and covered him with blankets.
"Does something seem wrong to you?" Yugi asked looking around the house. Bakura and Malik were to busy tending to Marik's wounds to pay him any mind. "Guys something is wrong!" He exclaimed suddenly to get their attention. They checked Marik's wounds but miraculous had almost already healed themselves over the ten-minute walk, bus, and train ride back home. Now they turned their attention to Yugi. Yami had gone to the bathroom to retrieve a first aid kit and had not yet returned.
"Hey Bakura." Malik said looking around. "Yeah." Bakura answered looking around as well, "Where are the dogs?" Bakura looked around. "I have no idea-" He did not get to finish his sentence before he was pulled through the ceiling by something or someone, and a barrier was placed at the stairs so Malik could not follow him and even if he could he would not leave Marik who was beginning to regain consciousness.
Ryou flipped himself right side up from the cartwheel position and threw Bakura into the wall and having him land on their bed. When Bakura was able to react to what was going on he found himself tired up before Ryou, those strange girls from before, Ebony, Ivory, and two cats.
Ryou knelt down in front of him and looked at him questionably, and then he moved out of the way and let Mistress see him. Bakura not knowing who she was insulted her by calling her a bitch.
"You will watch your language or I will hurt him." She threatened, gently licking Ryou's wrist. Ryou did not react. "Now you be a good spirit and wait here while, I send Iris and Isis to collect your friends."
"And what if I said I didn't care what happened to Ryou?" Bakura asked emotionlessly. Mistress looked at him then gently licked Ryou's cheek and traced her way to his ear when she whispered something and Ryou fell to the ground in extreme pain. He screamed and pounded his head against the floor. Seeing his light in so much pain caused Bakura's heart to melt. "STOP!" He yelled. "Please stop!" Mistress whispered something into Ryou's ear and he slowing got to his feet. She handed him the Apollo Spearhead then left for downstairs followed by the twins and their cats Sorrow and Mercy.
Ryou stared silently at Bakura from the opposite side of the bed then crawled across the bed and into his lap laying his head on Bakura's chest. Bakura was not sure if this was Ryou acting out or it this is just that woman using Ryou. Ryou stared into Bakura's eyes. "Please forget about me…" He said before a shadow like light engulfed them.
Bakura opened his eyes and could not believe what he says. That's impossible he can't be!
Marik was now awake but was unable to control his shaking while he watched the stairs. Malik could tell Marik was scared shitless and was unable to do anything but cry. The smaller Egyptian boy had lost self-control as he continued to stare up the stairs. Malik grabbed his lights face and made him look at him.
"Marik!" He exclaimed as his lavender eyes met lilac ones. Marik screamed like a scared child and begged him to leave him alone. Malik did not left go of his lights face until he screamed something that seemed totally out of Marik's character. "Please don't kill me, again!"
Again? Malik asked himself as Marik now just stared at him from the opposite side of the couch. Yugi and Yami on the other hand where worried about where Bakura had gone and what had pulled him through the ceiling.
"I can sense the Barrier child as well as the Psychic." A female voice said as multiple footsteps could be heard.
"Promise me even in the saddest of times you will be there to watch over me." Marik said but it seemed like he was in a trace. "Please promise me that. Please Maverick…" He said before a heartbeat could be heard from exploding from Marik's chest and he was incased in the same light Ryou had in the beginning.
Jannon, who was waiting quietly in her sports car, for her 'Masters' return, was inspecting the flower Inferno had given her. The darkness had finally over taken the light the flower was now fully black. I wonder how much longer he is going to use her to gather the children before we begin our true plans? She thought to herself as she laid the flower lightly in the passenger seat. After all their souls are all so beautiful. She thought as the flower began to take the shape of a younger looking Ryou.
The boy sat fully clothed in a blue and white stripped shirt as well as blue jeans. His long white hair glowed in the moonlight, as did his fair European skin. He looked over in Jannon's direction and asked her one thing. "Soft, Jannon?"
Jannon looked at him with a repressed smile. "Yes, the human heart is soft." She started the car and sped towards Ryou Bakura's home.
Bakura suddenly fell through the ceiling followed by Ryou, once again unconscious. Marik was still in his trace state when a sudden flash of light, not from Marik, filled the house. Yami looked over at his other worried but say it was not his light. Malik shock his other but nothing happened he just lay limp in his arms. Marik suddenly smirked, when a gigantic barrier shattered the one blocking the stairs.
"That was a nice move, little one." Mistress said coming down the stairs and looking at Marik. "You have no idea what good you will do in my army."
"You can take the remains of my body but you will not get my power." He said looking at Ryou. "You will never take our power, I know Maverick will not let it happen." He said reaching out for Ryou. "Deep in my heart I knew he was gone." He said lowering his hand. "The Key of Fire has left us to be with another, then I will go as well." He said looking at Malik. "We will return for you someday." He said before his eyes darkened and he fell limp on his side. Marik Ishtar has died, or so it seems that.
Mistress was very displeased by that action but did not have time to think for a rather large black wolf like creature with massive fangs tackled her from behind. From behind it came another one but this one was white slightly smaller although more vicious looking. Mistress stared into the beast eyes, for she could not kill a creature from 'home' or she would risk banishment. The white one walked over to Ryou and gently licked his face, Ryou began to stir but once again did not seem the same as before. He looked at the rather large beasts and smiled.
"His majesty will have to insure me something special for keeping you alive." He said more to himself than Mistress as he walked over to her. He looked at his clothes, "I don't know how his highness can stand wearing such stiff clothing… hmm." He said once again to himself before flames engulfed his body and his clothes where changed. His appearance changed as well, the boy had long black hair, golden eyes with black eyeliner, tanned skin, and his attire was no different, he wore transparent pleaded pants, no shirt, brown strapped sandals, three gold bracelets on his right arm, and several other gold objects. The Apollo's spear became a sword, worn at his side.
"You can't be…" Mistress said looking at the boy. "…I erased you!"
"You only thought you did." He replied with a sly smile.
The door suddenly burst open and Jannon came running in holding a small child in her arms. The child seemed fully aware of what was going on and was dressed in some very familiar clothes. The boy saw the teenager standing in the room, ran to him and hugged him. It seemed as if they could be related they looked like cousins or brothers. The little boy looked away from the teen for a moment and refocused on Bakura he smiled at Bakura only for a moment before walking over to where Marik lay limp on the sofa.
Jannon looked at him. "Do you want to undo what had been done?"
"Yes." The little boy replied looking at Marik. "The Sword of Psyche is not that strong all we must do is call him home as we did The Apollo Spear. Inferno, Maverick will not escape for long with the child."
"Of course my lord." The teenager said before looking at his dogs. "Come." He said walking out of the door and with two beautiful white wings flew out of sight.
The little boy took Jannon's hand and led her to Mistress. Mistress was now able to move but did not because she was out numbered. "Iris, Isis come and help me."
"We cannot…" Iris said looking towards her sister.
Isis finished.
"So we say…" Iris continued.
" …Goodbye…" Isis finished launching Millions Knives attack against Mistress, who evaporated. (Think again to the duel Yami Marik and Bakura when Marik was helping Bakura.)
Isis and Iris walked over to the small child and bowed. The small boy then bowed to them and they hugged. Jannon watched the small child as she moved to untie Bakura's bonds. Bakura immediately after being untied asked where Ryou had gone.
"Ryou…" The little boy said out loud. "Hmm… Oh! That's me!"
Bakura looked in disbelief. "Sure when he was seven." Bakura said irritated.
"No really I am." He said looking around at the house. "I am Saint Ronald Yuri Oswald Ulysses Bakura, Ryou for short, King of the Demon Empire of Europe and Russia." He announced with pride. He looked at Yugi and Yami as well. "It had been a very long time since our people have seen any spirit as old as you. I just prey we can reach my former self before he reaches home."
Malik for the first time looked at the child. "Tell me where Marik has gone!" He exclaimed looking to strangle the young child. The child did not seem scared. And with the mention of Marik Bakura's face went blank.
"Tell me, what I saw upstairs what that real?" He asked the child called Ryou.
"What you saw will be the end result if my former self goes home and becomes king." He answered. "I will take you to them but you will have to bring them home yourself before darkness takes them completely." He warned. "There maybe some images and memories that will surface that you have never seen before so I warn you… your opinion of your friends my change." He added before chanting some sort of spell and everything went dark.
Goddess: Okay then… --;;; this is getting weird.
Bakura: Where is Ryou?
Loki looks around: Good question maybe he is gone like he was in the fanfic.
Bakura: That's not possible.
Little Ryou: He is going home.
