Chapter Thirteen: More Death

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and if I did, this fic would be turned into a movie.

DM: -tries not to cry on kilnorc- Okay, I'm so sorry about the last chapter but I forgot about her and put her in it. I'm sorry a thousand folds over.

Dragon: Oh for the love of Ra, forgive her already. She had to do it though and any who tried to flame her gets flamed by me. The disease originated from one of the countries in Europe, use your imagination and choose one for us. As for Rebecca committing suicide, there isn't any room left in hell. Besides, even if that was the case, one of the yamis would save her before she could do it again. Now, read this chapter and review.

Tristan waited for the crying Serenity to finally fall asleep before moving his eyes away from her. Earlier that day, their friend had committed suicide and that caused Serenity to go over the edge. She couldn't stand it anymore so she didn't say a word. Seto watched as his friends were reloading their guns about thirty miles away from the death place of Rebecca Hawkins. He couldn't take it anymore. Every second it was wait for an hour at one place before moving to another when an undead cane near them. "Dammit, why did any of this happen?" he asked aloud. The silence didn't give him an answer. Looking up at the cloudless afternoon sky, he thought about what he had witnessed last night before going to bed, waking up to a chaotic world and losing his friends. He was only happy that Mokuba is still alive and not infected. That was the only thing that is keeping him sane.

Malik had taken over and wasn't happy when he did. The cars were out of gas, his sister was dead and he had witnessed a suicide from a genius. But what Rebecca had told them before she died was that the dead had spread to Africa. He went over to one of the empty cars and pulled out a laptop. Searching for whatever site he could about the virus, he looked everywhere until, "BINGO!" he shouted, waking everyone up that was asleep.

Seto looked at the blonde Egyptian with irritation. "Shut up. Do you want us to die?" he hissed. Malik shook his head and turned the laptop to show everyone where the virus was the strongest, the major areas in Europe, all of America's big cities and parts of Asia such as Hong Kong, and all over Japan like Tokyo, Domino and Shibuya. Every five minutes the screen would change and the red dots that showed where the dead where increased by a mile. "We are here," Seto said pointing to a mountain area, so far the red dots where probably about five or so miles away but according to the new screens, it spreads fast like wildfire.

"If we are here, then where is safe that hasn't been infected?" Serenity asked with fear in her voice. Seto took the laptop from Malik and typed something in. In island came up and there were no dots on it but they still had their doubts. "What would happen if we went there?" she asked pointing to the screen.

Mokuba also looked at the screen. "We would be safe unless there was any of those stiffs on the isle. But if it was at a reasonable low number, we could wipe them out and stay there until all of this blows over," he heard his brother reply.

Hearing a twig snap behind them, they all turned and saw three ragged looking men. Mokuba raised a gun that he had near him and aimed for the head. None of them moved but when the three men went closer, everyone saw that they were surviving too. Without saying a word, the three men walked past them. "Weird," Mokuba mumbled and Yami nodded in silence.

Tristan looked back at the screen. "How do we stop this thing? It has to be a virus," he said. (A/C: Thank you for finally realizing that Tristan. Jeez, the others already knew that much. How stupid can a person get? –Dragon points to Joey- Never mind then.)

Seto looked at him and rolled his eyes. He must be thinking that Tristan was too stupid to realize that there isn't a lab, a test subject, (A/C: A zombie.) or any staff to help. "If it is a virus, then it can't be destroyed from a human's immune system. And if there was a cure, there is no way to tell if that would work or not. Besides, a body decomposes in three years, remember?" he said smacking the back of Tristan's head.

"Ow, man, that hurt," Tristan complained rubbing the back of his head.

Seto rolled his eyes again. "Good," he mumbled while he clicked on the laptop for a few seconds. Nice to know that he's still himself after what just happened. Clicking on an island, Seto found out some valuable information. "It says that the residents have wiped out all of the undead for them to reside normal lives. We could all go there for a couple of years and wait for all of this to blow over," he said not even caring if the others were listening or not.

Yami looked from the guns back to the laptop. "We have a problem then. One, we don't have enough ammo to cover that much ground. Two, we don't have a boat to get there. And finally, if there isn't any dead, how do we know that the people there are still themselves?" he asked as he laid down the options.

Malik and Ryou looked at the former pharaoh and started to think about what he just said. /What do you think about going to that island/ Malik asked his yami.

Marik shrugged. /If we go, hikari, I have to know the area of it and see if it's livable./ he mumbled.

Mai kept quiet through this whole thing but when the screen changed again, the dots were a lot closer to them. "Shit, they're getting closer," she said through a panicked voice. She reached for a gun that was still in the car and grabbed a dead hand instead. Looking up, she saw a zombie was waiting for her to react. Without warning it grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to its decaying face.

Upon hearing Mai struggle, Yami raised his gun and tried to aim for the zombie's head. "Mai move!" he shouted but the warning came too late. The zombie had already torn a chunk of her face off.

Mai struggled to get away and put a hand on her face to try and stop the bleeding. Blood gushed from her face and went though her fingers as her vision became blurrier. Her body didn't even have time to relieve itself of the contents in her stomach as she dropped to the ground dead.

"Mai!" Serenity shouted and before she could get to the fallen duelist, Tristan held her back. Malik cocked a shotgun and pointed it at Mai's head. Yami shot the zombie that had bitten her in the head and looked around if there were anymore. Mai's body twitched and slowly rose up. As if she was waking up, she stood up with her head lowered. Blood was still falling from her face; she raised her head and scared the shit out of Mokuba and Serenity. BANG Mai collapsed to the ground again and stayed there.

Ryou was crying as he let his gun fall from his hands and fell to his knees. Watching someone shot a dead friend was one thing but having to do it yourself was another and he wasn't ready to do it. Bakura took over and let Ryou try to get over it without his friends having to see him. Bakura looked at the blonde and lowered his head. He didn't mean what he said and it was too late to take it all back.

Unfortunately, Mai's scream wasn't the only thing that attracted the undead. As they heard the gun shot, they somehow could figure out where it was coming from. Walking/limping in that direction was where the screams, gunshots and shouting came from. Food was in that direction.

Using what ever they could, everyone carried what they could and started moving. The vehicles were out of gas and there wasn't a gas station around for at least five miles. With only seven people left alive, life would definitely be getting worse if not better.

Dragon: Okay, there's chapter thirteen. Hope you liked it. Please review for my companion, she's very upset that she had to kill of a little girl.

DM: -sniffles-

Dragon: Please, for the love of Ra, please review.
