Hello, great people! The third chapter of The Kingdom of Hell is now underway! Who is the stranger who tried to tell the gang about Kairi? Find out right now. Note: I might recommend on listening to any Evanescence song, except My Immortal and Hello. Take your pick. Thank you.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story and me OCs. Thank you.
The darkness of the night surrounded the town, as the gang searched for the kidnapped Yugi. They called out his name, and split up all across town, but they never found him. The cloaked figure appeared on a roof of an abandoned home. The wind tossed his cloak to and fro, giving him a frightening look.
"Follow me," he whispered to the others, motioning with his concealed hand. "I know where your friend is, including that girl, Kairi." He seemed to float as he jumped from rooftop to rooftop, the others sprinting to catch up. They stopped in front of a warehouse, the windows boarded up.
"Figures we would find a creep place like dis," Joey remarked, the figure in front of them, slowly walking towards the building. The door opened by itself, as if someone was already inside. They made their way into the building, only one light on in the middle of the room. The rest of the warehouse was dark and foreboding.
"So, you're here at last," laughed a voice, a voice that Toby knew well. "It figures that you would come to look for your friend, Yugi." The voice stepped into the light to reveal Kairi, her eyes glowing like rubies in a ancient tomb.
"What have to done to Yugi?" Yami demanded, Kairi chuckling.
"Typical, Pharaoh," Kairi laughed. "I knew you would care about your light, so I made that zombie grab him and bring him to me." The figure stepped towards her.
"Let him go, right now, vampire!" the stranger yelled, startling everyone, even Toby.
"Y-You're a vampire?" he asked, his voice quivering. "I've never seen you like this. Why?"
"I'll have my associate explain," the vampire chuckled, snapping her fingers. Yugi stepped out of the shadows, his eyes appearing as if he was in a trance. "Go ahead, Yugi. Tell them why I'm like this, just like we practiced."
"Every Halloween night," Yugi began in the hypnotic state. "Kairi's dark side is released, causing her to become a vampire. That's why she was dressed up as one, to get herself ready so it wouldn't be painful to her." Kairi bowed deeply as Yugi finished.
"That's enough, vampire!" the figure roared, pulling out six wooden stakes from his cloak.
"What're these for?" Joey asked curiously as he held the stake between his hands.
"Well, in order to kill a vampire, you must plunge a wooden stake into its heart," the figure explained, pulling out a card. "Now, I summon this! It's Guardian Eatos!" The monster appeared from the card, its majestic wings glowing in the light. It held its sword, seeming to grin. There's only one person who has that card, Yami thought.
"Rafael?" he asked the figure. The man pulled down the hood, and indeed, it was Rafael.
"Don't just stand there!" Rafael yelled, the others holding the stakes. "Kill her!" The group lunged at the vampire, except for Toby, who stood back away from Kairi. Eatos flew towards her, but she sprouted her wings and took to the air, Eatos following her. A black sword appeared in Kairi's hand, as Eatos began to slash at her. She pushed the sword back with hers, and stabbed the monster in the heart.
"Eatos!" Rafael yelled, his eyes glowing with anger. "That's it, you DIE!" He ran up to her, as she descended to the ground, chuckling. She slashed at the stake, cutting it in half. She walked up to him, and grabbed his head.
"Parting is such sweet sorrow," she whispered, beginning to tighten her grip on his head. "All good things must come to an end!" She began to twist his head, but she let go as a stabbing pain came to her heart from the back.
"No one hurts anyone!" Toby shouted, pulling the stake from the vampire. Yugi came out of the trance, and ran up to the group.
"Thank you, Toby," Kairi whispered, as she slowly fell to the ground. "You saved me." Her body fell onto the floor, her hand over her heart.
"Kairi!" Toby yelled, running up to her. "Stay with me." Tears streamed from his eyes, as Rafael placed his hand on her hand, a light emitting from it.
"She'll be fine in a few hours," he whispered. "She just needs rest." He walked off, placing the hood of the cloak over his head. After a few minutes, Kairi was at her home, lying on the couch. She began to stir, and opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" she asked, as the group came into view.
"You're home."
Should I add an epilogue? You decide! Review please.
