88 Last Time 88

With that she strapped her glaive to the back and snuck out of the room. It wasn't long till she reached the stables and stole one of the war horses. Knocking out the gates guards she rode out and into the desert. She didn't know how, but she knew where Hondo was. So she rode on, to where the darkness got thicker and more evil feeling.

88 This Time 88

Atem was awoken by the guards in the morning. Quickly he followed them to Hotaru's room. The sight in there made him flinch. Two corpses were on the floor. Both had, had their throats cut open. It looked like there had been a struggle. Looking around he found all of Hotaru's weapons where missing, as was the violet eyed girl.

"Where is Hotaru?" he asked the guards.

"We are looking for her now. There is another thing. Lady Anzu is missing too." the sound of running reached them and soon Seto came into the view. He took one look at the room and turned to Atem.

"What happened? Where's my sister?"

"Both your sisters are missing. The guards are looking for them now." he then turned to the guards. "Wake everyone up and ask them to come to the throne room. I will discuss this matter further there. Seto come with me."

The guards left do fulfill their orders while Seto followed Atem to the thrown room. The pharaoh would need his support when he told the others of the girls absence. No doubt those were two of Hondo's men in that room. Could there have been more? There might have been, and they probably took Hotaru and Anzu with them. However that didn't explain why all of Hotaru's weapons were gone.

Soon everyone was assembled in the throne room. Even Bakura and his men. The thief didn't look happy and he kept looking around. Possibly for Hotaru, but he wasn't going to find her there. All quieted when Atem rose off his throne to speak. All eyes were now on him.

"Two men were found dead in Hotaru's chambers. Both she and Anzu are missing from the palace. I called you all here to ask if anyone has seen them or might know what happened?" people began to talk amongst themselves.

Someone whispered something to Bakura and his eyes grew wide. The thief made his way over to the young Pharaoh. "Atem one of my thieves is missing as well."

"Which one?" Seto asked.

"Hamadi"

Anzu rode as fast she could after her sister. Though all she had to go by were the tracks left in the sand. Hamadi rode beside her on his own horse. She had regained consciousness just before dawn. After remembering what happened she had gone strait to th thief and practically threw him out of his bed. She explained what had happened and asked him to help her help her sister.

At first the thief had been against it and told her they should tell the others. That's when Anzu threatened to knock him out and go on her own. He didn't think she actually could. That is until she showed him the cloth Hotaru had used to knock her out. They then went to the stables, grabbed two horses, and were on their way.

"Remind me why I'm actually doing this?" Hamadi whined.

"Cause Hotaru needs my help and to help her I need your's." Hamadi grinned.

"Ah, I see all the flirting has finally paid off."

Anzu glared at him. "You give yourself to much credit. I only went to you cause I knew you would keep a cool head. Bakura would go berserk and Seto would have gotten everyone else up and send an army after her. Plus you're the only other person I know that has more experience in fighting."

"Oh well I'm flattered." Anzu rolled her eyes. Why? Why him? Out of all the thieves and guards, why did she trust him the most? It didn't matter now though. If he could help her find Hotaru and kill Hondo and his men, then he would serve his purpose. After this was all over, she vowed to give him a good beating. "Anzu the tracks stopped."

"What?" looking around she found it was true. When a strong wind blew she knew why. The wind had blown them away. Looking up she found the sky was dark and thunder sounded. This wasn't the same kind of storm like the one that had been over the palace. This one felt evil, the horses felt it, and even they did.

"What do we do now?" Hamadi asked. Anzu tried to think then saw something it the distance. It was where the clouds got darker and cast a shadow over the land.

"There, I bet that's where they are. Let's go." she said and kicked her horse into a canter. Hamadi nodded and followed after her.

"Atem this is crazy. This is Hotaru's fight, not your's." Amara said as Atem strapped his armor on. After discussing it, they all had found it best to take down Hondo and his men by force. All the soldiers were preparing. Bakura and his men were also getting ready to depart. Everyone had agreed to this plan, everyone except for Amara, Rei, and Makoto.

"Amara we have to get rid of Hondo once and for all. I doubt Hotaru can do it on her own."

Amara glared at him. "I think she can. You heard what she said. Hondo is some kind of sorcerer and so is she. In fact I think she is the only one who can stop him." Atem strapped his sword to his waist and looked at her.

"What about his men? I don't think she'll be able to stop that many well trained men." Amara crossed her arms.

"Fine, then that's all you do. Your job is to get rid of his men, Hotaru will take care of Hondo." Atem glared at her, which she countered. Finally he sighed in defeat.

"Fine. Hotaru will take on Hondo and we'll take on his men. Satisfied?"

Amara smiled. "Yes! Now...can I come with you?"

"Absolutely not."

Bakura put he saddle onto his stallion, Seriphim. He had been quiet ever since they began to get ready for the battle. Not even Khalid could get him to talk, then again it wasn't like the red haired thief talked much himself. The rest of the thieves had sensed his bad mood and stayed out of his way. It would not be a pretty sight if someone were to get on his bad side at this moment. They also kept the guards and soldiers away from him as well. In fact the only people they let see him were either Seto, Atem, or the girls.

"You'll need a cool head in battle Bakura. A mind that's clouded with anger will not stop to think in a dangerous situation." Khalid said walking into the stall. Bakura sighed and nodded.

"I know, but I it's getting on my nerves. The priests think she and Anzu were taken. I seriously doubt that. If they were taken then why are two of the war horses missing? If they had been taken their captors would have taken one of the regular horses. It would be to much trouble to control one of the war horses."

Khalid nodded. It didn't seem likely that the girls were taken. And what of Hamadi? He wouldn't have gone out on his own, and if he had gotten in the way they would have just killed him. So there was only two possible explanations. Hotaru had gone out after killing the two men in her room. Then Anzu and Hamadi went after her. Or Anzu had been taken and Hotaru and Hamadi went after her.

Either way Hotaru wouldn't have been the one to be captured. "Just don't think to much on it. We're going into battle. You won't be able to save anyone if you wind up dead from your stupidity."

Bakura just glared at his friend and mounted up onto his horse. Not wanting to argued he kicked the horse gently on his sides and rode out of the stable. Khalid shook his head. It seemed he would have to watch his friend in the fight to come. The thief walked out of the stall and went to mount his own horse.

The thieves and soldiers all assembled outside of the city. Bakura, Seto, and Atem led them. Marik also rode in the crowd of men, disguised as Sefu. Rei had begged him to take her, but he thought the others were making a wise decision. The girls would be better off staying at the palace. Besides if Atem were to die, Rei would be the only one left to rule Egypt till she found a husband.

Atem stopped and so did the soldiers. He turned to face them. Seto and Bakura did the same. "Listen and listen well. We are going to put an end to Hondo and his men. They were the ones who tried to take over our lands. They destroyed the towns around our border and are planning to destroy this city as well. I say we destroy them before that happens." the men all cheered.

"When we get there, many of you may not survive. But remember what you are fighting and dying for. Hondo will not hesitate to kill you even if you surrender. So in other words, you are fighting to live. No lets move out!" the men gave another cry and followed the three to what could be their doom.
