The Bug-Man Cometh, Part Two
Disclaimer: Don't own nuttin'
A few days later, Weevil seemed to be and act differently in class. He seemed more distant, much more quiet, and he wore big clothes and a big jacket now. Everyone had heard on the news, that Travis' body had been found on the side of the road, next to his truck, without its head, or its flesh...just a big decapitated, gore-on-the-bones body.
Tea dragged Brian to the side once class ended and talked to him. "You ever seen anything like this, Brian?" she asked him. He thought for a few minutes, "I think I do, I'm not sure but I'll have to look up something," he told her. "It's not a vampire thing is it?" she whispered as other kids walked by. He shook his head, "No chance in hell, they only drain the blood of their food, or turn them, they don't decapitate and skin them," he said quietly.
-Lunch-
Weevil slipped away from everyone else and made his way to the school's basement. He pulled away a large wooden board he used to cover up a hole he had made. He descended into the hole and as he got further down, the sides of the hole became more sticky and slimy. He had made this hole, his home, his very own hive. He walked for a few minutes until he came across a large room covered in sticky slime. On the sides of the wall, were big pouches, pulsating and bulging from the inside. "Soon, my children...soon we will make these fools realize who the superior beings are...VERY soon," Weevil cackled as he threw off his jacket and shirt, to reveal most of his body was very insectlike, hard cover on vital parts, large wings, etc.
-Burger World, Night-
"Joey! That one's mine!" Yugi told his blonde friend, reaching for a burger he had yanked away. "Nope, finders takers,"Joey replied. "Here we go again," Ryou sighed as the two struggled for custody of the meat patty on two buns. Tea was serving other customers their orders when she saw Joey and Yugi messing around. She narrowed her eyes, and walked slowly over to them. She grabbed Joey's wrist, plucked the burger out of his hand and gave it to Yugi. Joey winced as she gripped his wrist, "Ow, ow! Tea c'mon! I wuz jus' playin'!" he pleaded. Tea let go of his wrist and already, bruises were seen. "Damn, woman, you been working out or something?" Bakura asked her, surprised.
"No, I haven't, Bakura. I just did the same thing I've been doing for the past few years. "Ok, so anyone mind telling me why we are out at night with vampires and Ra knows what runnin' around?" Bakura asked in a hushed whisper. Brian looked at him, "Safety in numbers, I wanted to make sure Tea got home safely and you guys got dragged along, hahaha," he laughed, and Bakura growled in response. "Tea! Shifts up! You're off duty now!" the cook/manager called from the kitchen window. "Got it! You guys ready to go?" she asked, looking at her friends.
They walked down the street, their bellies full and eyes open. "Yugi, why'd Yami stay at home?" Ryou asked his fellow duelist. "I felt that since a shop is not really a home, anything could come in, and I wanted him to keep Grandpa safe," Yugi told him. "Brian, did you find what you were looking for earlier?" Tea asked him. He shook his head, I looked in a lot of books, but I couldn't find it, I KNOW I've seen something that's like this," he said. "Like what?" Joey asked him. "You guys heard about how they found that kid's body by his truck, right?" he asked. They nodded and he continued, "Well, I remember something just like this, but I don't remember it all," he told them.
A loud shrill sound echoed through the night air, causing everyone, including Bakura to jump. "What da hell was dat?" Joey asked, looking around. "Beats me," Yugi replied, shrugging. "Hello, everyone...," a voice said from the darkness. They turned and saw Weevil poking his head out of the shadows. "Weevil? What are you doing here, you scared us," Tea asked the insect duelist. "Sorry, I was just out, getting some grub," he said in his usual voice.
"Weevil, it's not safe to be out here, you should head home," Yugi advised him. "Thank you for that warning, Yugi, but I'm able to take care of myself. I'm not the same small and weak duelist you knew...," with this, he stepped into full view with the light on him. His legs, had changed into four pointed legs, his skin was covered with what looked like armor, his hands had become claws and a huge pair of wings on his back. "Holy shit...," Brian said quietly. "Yes, as you can see, I'm not my old self. I've become something greater than anyone else," Weevil chuckled as he moved closer to the group. They all backed away as quickly as possible from the thing in front of them.
"But, enough about me, let me introduce you to my family," he said softly. "Family?" Joey asked as he backed away. Weevil nodded and opened his mouth, and the same shrill sound from before. More shrill sounds were heard after Weevil stopped and closed his mouth. Ryou covered his ears, protecting his hearing. The sounds came to an end, and Brian looked around. "Well...that wasn't as bad as I thought," he shrugged. "Oh, it's bad," Weevil cackled. "AHHH!" Brian yelled as he was pulled up into the air from behind. His friends whirled around to see a large creature that looked half human, half insect, hold Brian in the air with its deformed hands.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Weevil roared with laughter as three more monsters came into view. The others surround the group as Brian tried to free himself from the one that had him. "Guys, got any plans...?" Tea asked them. "GO MY CHILDREN! Take what you will!" Weevil told them raising his claws in the air. The insects advanced on them, the shrill sounds resonating from within. Bakura took out one of his knives and made a large gash in the torso of the one coming towards him. "HOW DARE YOU INJURE MY OFFSPRING!" Weevil screeched at him.
He opened his mouth as wide as he could and a much louder, shriller shriek emitted from it. It caused windows in nearby buildings to shatter. Everyone fell to their knees, holding their ears as the sound invaded them. Their eyes rolled into the back of their heads and they fell unconcious. Weevil looked proudly at his prey, Tea and Yugi lyingon the cement, Brian dangling unconcious from the claws of one of his 'children', Joey, Ryou and Bakura sprawled out nearby. "Excellent...now who to take," he pondered.
His eyes settled on Tea and he grinned like a wolf, or a bug or whatever. "Yes...I must have a Queen if I'm going to carry on," he said, signaling one of the creatures. It scuttled over and picked her up, slinging her over it's shoulder. "Ah yes, Yugi Motou, the one that's caused me so much misery over the years," he said signaling his other offspring. He now looked at Ryou, Joey and Bakura. "Wheeler's also caused me trouble, but I don't think he's worthy of becoming one of the superior race, and I'm sure not going to allow someone who attacked my children," he said walking around them. The last creature walked over to Ryou and took hold of his pant leg and lifted him into the air.
Weevil kicked Bakura and Joey hard, then signaled the creatures to follow him down a large sewer access entrance. Some time later, Bakura and Joey woke up, holding their heads. "Ow, man. What da hell happened?" Joey groaned. Bakura looked at a slime trail heading towards the manhole. "We have to get them back, Wheeler," he said softly. Joey looked at the man hole as well, "Yeah, we'll just go ahead and walk into a hive of dose tings man! You crazy?" he asked, wanting to hit the Tomb Robber over the head.
Bakura began to talk when he saw a cop car nearby, that recently pulled up. "I got it," he said, getting close to the car while the officer was 20 feet away eating. "Bakura! No cop's gonna believe dis!" Joey whispered after him. "I'm not going for the cop, just something in the car," Bakura explained, slipping from sight momentarily. A few moments later he came back with a Mossberg shotgun in his hand. "Here, you need this," he said tossing it to him. Joey quickly caught it and saw Bakura take out his blades again. "You know how to work that thing?" Bakura asked, nodding towards the gun.
Joey looked at it and pointed to the end of the barrel. "Dis is the dangerous end, right?"he asked. Bakura rolled his eyes and flicked off the safety, then tossed him a box of shells. "It is as of this moment, now...when we find them, you stay behind and cover my ass, you got that Wheeler?" he asked staring at the blonde. "Dude, we can't go bustin' in there! Those are giant bug things man! We ain't got no chance!" he cried, waving the shotgun to the manhole. "You want to run, fine. But I'm going down to help Ryou," Bakura growled, reaching for the shotgun. Joey pulled it out of his reach, "I'm not runnin', I'm just sayin' we gonna die," he said pumping it.
Bakura looked at the manhole, and walked over to it. He managed to pull it open and take out a lighter. "Ready, Wheeler?" he asked looking into the darkness. Joey gulped and slung the shotgun over his shoulder, "As ready as I'll ever be," he said nervously. Bakura tucked his blades into his pockets and jumped down into the hole, with Joey right behind him. A way's away, a lone figure had watched the entire event. "Let's just see how they do with the first of my new followers...," it said, laughing cruelly.
