********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The sky echoed with the sound of thunder crashing and lightning streaked across the sky. Rain poured from the heavens, the angels crying for what was to unfold. On the ground, two best friends faced each other. One of them charging at the other, who held his weapon ready.
Sora's eyes widened and he jumped to the side at the last second, dodging his best friends assault. Riku turned on a dime and shot back, bringing his blade down to strike the younger boy. The smaller boy dodge, rolled away and took to the air in a flourish of soft rainbow feathers, Riku following.
'Why is he doing this?' The brunette wondered, other questions soon following. 'Why's he attacking me, why is his keyblade glowing....ugh, what the heck is going on here??'
Riku swung his blade around at the boy, his larger size giving him a powerful swing. Sora narrowly dodged and brought his own key blade back. The silver haired boy blocked Sora's attack and spun around.
Sora gasped as the dragon blade created a gash in his arm. His hand flew to the cut on his arm, it rested there for a moment before Sora replaced his hand on the hilt of his blade. The cut stung badly and blood slowly gushed from the wound 'I forgot how much that hurts!' Sora thought, glaring at Riku slightly.
The silver haired teen sent another swinging attack at the brunette.Sora folded his wings and dropped a foot so the dragon blade swept over his head, then he blocked with his keyblade.
Riku pulled back and pushed off the ground. He flew higher then dove, using the altitude to gain extra speed. The smaller teen dodged the extreme speed attack and spun around to face his opponent, and his best friend. The look on Riku's face surprised Sora slightly. Riku's mouth was set in a grim line, his aqua blue eyes held sorrow, almost as thought he didn't want to fight brunette but had to.
Riku summoned a small ball of dark energy into his palms. The energy grew bigger, starting at the size of a blueberry and working to the size of a softball, then about the size of a computer monitor. Finally, when the orb was the size of a small car, Riku couldn't hold it any longer. He sent the orb speeding toward Sora.
The brunette's blue eyes widened, he tried to dodge to the right, but the orb was too big and too fast. The crackling black energy crashed into the smaller teen, forcing Sora cry out as pain throbbed throughout his body. Finally, the energy faded, the boy floated there, fists clenched, teeth pressed together, and eyes tightly closed. He tried desperately to ignore the pain but it was too over powering. Sora floated the for a few more seconds before gaining enough energy to move his body.
"Riku, why are you doing this?" Sora demanded, slowly cracking one eye open. For a moment all he saw was crimson liquid. The energy attack had broken blood vessel's in his eye. He blinked repeatedly and it cleared.
Riku straightened up, determined yet sad."It's the only way Sora."
"Why is it the only way?" Sora asked, almost pleading with his best friend.
Riku's head hung for a moment before he returned his gaze to Sora's eyes.
"It's the only way we'll get you back..."
"Huh??" Sora exclaimed, slowly regaining enough energy to move completely. The brunette looked at the silver haired teen in utter confusion.
'He should at least know...' A voice within Riku's head whispered.
'But the King said-' Riku began, but was cut off by the voice. 'Forget what he said, look at your best friend! He should at least know WHY your hurting him...' The voice argued.
Riku sighed, still holding his dragon blade tightly, and began to talk.
~Flashback~
Riku slowly walked out of the shack and headed toward the cave that led to Essence Point, both of his hands shoved in his pockets. The lightning flashed and suddenly a face with large ears and rather large nose, hovered before him.
"Ack!"Riku cried, jumping in surprise, eyes wide and heart pounding.
"Relax, it's just me! King Mickey!"The face cried.
Riku took a few moments to clam down before looking at the face closer. Two huge ears popped out from behind it's head and a small golden crown sat on top. The face had a mousy snout and large black nose. It was in fact King Mickey. Riku took a step back so he could see the King standing before him (yes, he's there, he's NOT just a floating head)
"Oh....Don't scare me like that!"Riku growled, narrowing his eyes at the mouse.
"Sorry." Mickey apologized, quickly.
His face was etched with worry and excitement. Which caught Riku off guard slightly.
"Uh...so why are you here now?" Riku asked watching King Mickey.
"Because I know how to help Sora." The mouse king replied.
Riku's eyes widened and his heart sped up again. "Really? Then you go talk to him!"
Mickey shook his head, sadly. "That's not what going to help him."
"Then what is it?" Riku asked cocking one eye brow up.
Mickey sighed."Did you notice the dark aurora coming from Sora when he refused to help?"
Riku's eyes widened."So I wasn't imagining it?"
Mickey nodded."That dark aurora is real and...I believe it's the remnant's of Lucifer's control."
Riku frowned deeply. "Didn't Kairi get rid of that?"
"Well...She did... but only got rid of most of it..."Mickey stated looking sad and a little distressed.
Riku sighed, hanging his head. He knew where this was going. "What am I supposed to do?"
"You have to get rid of Lucifer's control."Mickey answered.
"Well, yeah, I figured that much, but how?"Riku asked, slightly irritated and getting the feeling he wasn't going to like the answer.
Mickey held out his hand."Hand me your dragon blade."He commanded.
"What? Why!?"Riku demanded.
"Just let me see it for a second."
Riku growled."Fine... but you'd better not mess with it "
He placed his gleaming black weapon in the mouse's hand.
Mickey used his left hand to pull the block off of the blade.
"Hey, why'd you do that?"Riku asked."That was there so I don't end up killing someone!"
Mickey closed his eyes and held the blade in front of him with both hands. Energy began to gather into the weapon, a glow beginning to come from the surface. Finally, he placed the dragon blade back in Riku's hands, and it glowed with a white light.
Riku raised an eyebrow."Why'd you do that??"
"So you can free Sora."Mickey explained, his face still holding a sad expression.
"...I don't get it..."
Mickey sighed again."And they say Sora is thick headed."He muttered under his breath, which Riku caught, and shot a glare at the mouse king.
"OK, tell me, how many time's has Sora lost a battle since he came back?"
"Uh..." Riku paused, recalling all of the battles. ".........none.."
"Yes, now basically, that many wins has brought his ego WAAAAAAAAY up there. That combined with Sora's plain old stubbornness has awakened what remains of Lucifer's control. Now the only way to get rid of that, is a lesson in humility...a lesson only learned by loss."
The King tapped the dragon blade on the fifteen-year-old's hand. "You get it now?"
Riku's eyes widened."Uh-uh! No, no, and no! I am NOT going to attack Sora. If he needs it so much, you do it!"
Mickey shook his head."I can't. My keyblade seals people's hearts. Yours is the one that unlocks them, Remember?"
Riku crossed his arms over his chest and glared hard.."I'm STILL not doing it."
"Look, you've have to unlock his heart, that's where Lucifer is, and he's feeding off of Sora's ego." Mickey pleaded.
"I'm not doing it! I'll end up hurting him again!" Riku stated stubbornly.
"He's going to be hurt more if you don't."Mickey countered."Which is worse?"
Riku didn't have anything to argue to that."Fine.."He said, defeated letting his arms droop to his sides."I will...I just hope he'll be ok afterwards."
"He'll be better then ever, trust me."Mickey said with a small smile.
Riku nodded."Ok then."He began to walk away but Mickey called to him and Riku turned back around. "Oh, and Riku...Don't tell him. That will most likely awaken Lucifer's control, and that will hurt him even more."
"Fine, I won't. Can I go now??" The silver haired teen snapped.
"Yes."Mickey said quietly, before vanishing.
Riku turned and headed toward Essence point. 'Maybe if I'm lucky an evil seagull will fly out of the sky and kill me before I get there...'
~end flashback~
Sora floated in mid air, eyes wide." I-I....I don't understand...Lucifer's still inside of me?"
"Yes, and we need to get rid of him, or you'll remain incomplete."
'Well, that explains why I've been feeling so bad for the past year' Sora thought.
Suddenly, a pain throbbed in the brunette's mind. The boy held his head and screamed.
"Sora!?"Riku cried, eyes wide and full of shock and fear."Sora, what's wrong?"
Sora closed his eyes and tears of crimson blood streamed down his cheeks. He still clutched his head. "I-I don't know...just help me...Riku...please"
A dark light suddenly burst from the teenagers heart and enveloped him. An animal like scream came from the orb of black light.
The one Riku had never wanted to hear again.
"RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Slowly the dark light cleared, and what Riku saw chilled him to the bone.
Sora was floating there, eyes closed, arms crossed over himself and a dragon tail wrapped around him. There was blade at the end of the tail like a scorpion's tail. Sora's once human ears were replaced by wolf-like ones that stood straight up. "S-Sora?" Riku stuttered, eye wide and heart pounding. The boy's eye lids snapped open revealing expressionless and cold as ice blue eyes, that lacked pupils. His mouth spread into a sneer, showing off two fangs. The boy held out his arms, and blades appeared from his elbows. The dragon tail flexed and twisted upward, until it was arched above Sora's head similar to the way scorpions set themselves up for an attack. Then two ripped, black dragon wings burst from the boy's back.
"Ah crap...not again."Riku moaned, taking a subconscious step back.
"Hello there Riku.." The dragon boy said, in a voice combined with Sora's voice and an old enemy known as Lucifer.

~Theplacewherealltheyugiohcharectersare(I'llthinkupanameeventually)Theplacewhe realltheyugiohcharecterare(I'llthinkupanameeventually)~
"DID I NOT TELL YOU TO STOP BEING SO SOFT???" The Shadow Riku's voice demanded, his sea green eyes narrowed and watching the blonde teen that stood before him.
Jounouchi glared up at the silver haired tyrant, but said nothing.
'Riku' walked over to the blonde teen, fists clenched. "I told you to teach the boy a lesson, and all you do it punch him a few times? That is so pathetic. You could do much better then that."
Jounouchi looked away from the silver-haired teen, his eyes still narrowed with hate."You took my sister hostage, you forced me to be one of your stupid croonies. You can't make me hurt my best friend." The street-wise teen pivoted on one foot so he turned to face the boy, using his momentum as extra speed for the punch he threw at 'Riku'.
The sinister monster smirked, and caught the fist with one hand before it made contact with his face.
"I'm glad to see that old look in your eyes, Jounouchi. Too bad for you it's aimed at me." The tyrant said with a sneer.
He brought his other hand back, then thrust it forward and punched the blonde in the gut. Jounouchi dropped to the ground and winced as a strong kick slammed into his side. The boy rolled away before the second kick struck him and kicked his abuser's legs out from under him. 'Riku' fell to the ground with a thump and the blond haired teen stood up. Now it was Jounouchi who kicked the one on the ground. 'Riku' summoned a small amount of dark energy into his palm. In one swift movement he brought his palm up to Jounouchi chest and blasted the energy at the boy, who cried out and fell to the ground, knocked out. '˜Riku' smirked and the limp form and stood up. Just then Seto came into the room, now in armor and with various weapons at his side.
"What is it '˜Riku?" He asked with his typical cold tone. As he glanced around his eyes actually had shown with a bit of emotion when they landed on the downed street kid, but the emotion quickly vanished.
"No need to care, he's just another weak slave, nothing important."˜Riku smirked, and ran a hand through his hair "Take 'General' Jounouchi here down to Malik and Bakura. He seems to be in need of an attitude lesson."
Seto made no notion that he would do what 'Riku' had asked, but he picked up the blonde and left the room, without a sound
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
~Inthehallwaythingyinthehallywaythingyinthehallwaythingyinthehallwaythingyinth ehallwaythingyinthehallwaythingyinthehallwaythingy~
Jounouchi groaned at the splitting head ach he felt over taking is mind.
He opened his eyes and found himself being dragged down the hallway.
"Huh...uh...wha?" He murmured, confused.
"So, the puppy dog is finally awake." Seto's voice hissed coldly.
"Wha...Kaiba?!?"Jounouchi cried, twisting to face the voice.
"No, I'm the Easter bunny, puppy dog."Seto said sarcastically.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Jounouchi yelled, anger and rage spreading through him.
"Tsk...temper, temper."Seto smirked.
Jou growled but decided to calm down, he wouldn't get anywhere arguing with Kaiba."What's going on here?" He demanded, his voice still etched with anger.
"Ah, the puppy dog disobeyed his master, so Master decided to send you down to Malik and Bakura." Seto said coyly, the edges of his mouth twitched up in a small smile.
Jounouchi paled visibly. Malik and Bakura were in charge of the torture chambers.
The horrible, and terrifying, torture chambers that very few came away from alive, and sane. The screams echoing from those chambers were so loud, that they could be heard from miles away, and keep you awake for weeks. Yes, there were other torture chambers, but Malik and Bakura were well known for being insane, sadistic, and just plain cruel. (sounds kind of like my math teacher) Seto snorted."Looks like the Chihuahua's got his tail between his legs."( Beta Reader: A Chiwowa if you don't get it by the spelling)
Jou growled."I'm NOT going to Malik and Bakura." He forced his heels down in to the ground, preventing his movement."You can't make me go!"
"Want to bet?"Seto said, pulling a card from his belt. (One guess what it is) "We can do this the easy way or the hard way puppy dog."
Jounouchi growled."Neither!" He pulled himself from Seto's grip and dashed down the hallway.
Seto sweep kicked the boy with his foot, and Jou crashed to the ground. "Stop embarrassing yourself puppy dog."The brown haired boy hissed standing up, his cold blue eyes looking down and the blonde teen before him.
Jounouchi growled."I'm not done yet."
He pulled out his most prized card."I summon the Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon!"
A streak of purple light came from the card, and the huge black dragon appeared before the fallen blonde. Jounouchi grinned and got to his feet. "Yo Kaiba, say hello to my Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon. His name is Rouge (1). Say hello Rouge."
The dragon's eyes flashed and he looked down at the brown haired teen before him and growled lowly. "Oh yeah, he can talk too. Isn't he awesome?"Jounouchi patted the dragons leg, a gleam in his dark brown eyes.
The dragon narrowed his eyes at Seto."Master, is this human bothering you?"The dragon asked in a deep, rich voice.
"Yeah, he is."Jounouchi answered.
"Then allow me to take care of him for you."The dragon said, taking a step toward the lone Kaiba brother.
"Ah, sure, go ahead Rouge." Jou smiled, and crossed his arms over his chest, smiling in satisfaction.
The dragon bared it's needle sharp teeth, and let out a loud and long roar.
Seto seemed unimpressed and looked over at Jounouchi in sheer boredom. "I don't think so, Puppy dog. Two can play at this game." Seto held the card he had pulled from his belt out."I summon the Blue-eyes-white-dragon!"
There was a flash of blue light from the card, and an image of a white creature before... BOOOOOOOOOOM! The Blue dragon appeared and landed on it's huge, talon feet, blocking Jounouchi's path. It glared at Jou with it's pale blue eyes snarling madly.
"Ok Puppy Dog, meet Kaiser(2) the first of my three blue-eyes-white-dragons. Say hello Kaiser."
"HAAROOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR!!!"The beast bellowed, throwing his head back.
"Kaiser, Jounouchi here isn't listening, do you suppose you could,..." Seto paused, then smiled, "motivate him to come along willingly?"
"Of course Master." The white dragon said in a icy voice, similar to Seto's.
Jou's eyes widened."Crap.."He murmured.
Rouge's red eyes also widened, but they quickly narrowed. The black dragon took his place in front of Jounouchi and spread his wings wide."You aren't touching my master."
Kaiser snorted, steam coming from his nostrils. He stepped forward, sizing up to his full height, quite a bit higher then the Red Eyes Black Dragon that blocked him from Jounouchi."I can eliminate you with one breath, little one. You may be great, but when it comes to dragons, I am King."
"Er...correction, that's either Orsis or Ra...."Jounouchi said meekly, but both dragons ignored him, staring at each other in utter hate.
"Regardless of that, I will defend my master to the end, even if it comes to that." Rouge growled, baring his fangs.
Kaiser's eyes narrowed."Then so be it." The dragon slammed shoulder first into the black dragon, sending the smaller beast slamming into the dirt.
The smaller dragon quickly rose, then jumped into the air, despite the low ceiling, and dove into the Blue eyes, knocking it back slightly.
The blue dragon pivoted and struck the black dragon with it's tail, again sending the Red eyes slamming into the ground.
The black dragon rose once again and sucked in a breath, then blew flames at the blue dragon. The blue eyed dragon staggered slightly from the flames, but recovered. It began to create it's own attack.
"Any last words?" The dragon asked.
"Stop!" Jounouchi cried."Rouge...I don't want to lose you over me, go back to your card."
The Red eyes black dragon turned, it's slightly bruised body aching slightly."But master..."It protested.
"Rouge, I don't want to see you destroyed, do as I say!"
Rouge sighed."As you wish, master." There was a flash of red light, and the monster disappeared, leaving Jou unguarded and slightly down hearted.
Seto snorted."Your weaker then I thought puppy dog. Too bad your master, Yugi isn't here, eh?"
Jounouchi growled." Shudup Kaiba!" He snapped."I just care about my monsters, unlike you! You wouldn't care if that dragon of yours was going to be destroyed."
Kaiser blinked, uncertainty shown in it's blue eyes. Was this blonde human right? Did his master care for him?
Kaiba growled."Your wrong! I care plenty for Kaiser!"
"Sure you do Kaiba. I highly doubt that though, I mean, if you joined forces with that freak back there, you obviously just don't care about the people who were your friends, like Yugi, and me, and lets not forget about Mokuba." Kaiba's eyes widened at his little brothers name. He walked over to the blonde and fisted him hard in the gut
."I cared plenty about my brother, you dog. Don't you EVER say I didn't."He hissed.
Jou recovered from the blow."Oh really? If you care so much about him, then how come you joined up with 'Riku'? I doubt Mokuba would have liked that."
"I wouldn't talk, Puppy! I highly doubt Serenity is too proud of you joining up with him either!"The CEO shot back, hands clenched into fists.
"I had no choice Kaiba! YOU did! I'm doing this because if I don't, 'Riku' will torture my sister. YOU, on the other hand, did it because you couldn't take it! You were too weak, and decided you didn't care anymore! How can you call me a dog when you act more like a puppy with his tail between his legs! If you ask me, you're just being a pushover."
Seto's eyes narrowed dangerously. He grabbed the boy by his shirt collar."Take that back, puppy dog!"
"Why should I when it's true, you stuck up rich Git!" Jounouchi shot back, glaring with pure hatred.
Seto dropped the blonde. He backed up slightly, head down.
'Maybe I talked some sense into him...' Jonouchi thought.
Suddenly Seto looked up, a cold, icy expression on his face. He crossed his arms over his chest and gazed back at Kaiser.
"Kaiser, attack him. Just don't kill him. I want him alive..."The CEO said icily, returning his gaze back to Jou.
The Blue-eyes-White-dragon, which had been silent the entire time, opened it's mouth, and a roar ripped from it's throat.
Jounouchi's eyes widened fearfully. 'Oh man, this is gonna hurt....' A burst of white lightning and blue fire came from the dragon's mouth and enveloped the blonde, who's bloodcurdling scream echoed through the building.
When the attack cleared, Jounouchi lay, unconscious and scorched, on the stone floor.
"Ok Kaiser, that's enough." Kaiba said quietly, but forcefully.
The dragon vanished.
Seto walked over to Jounouchi and placed a leather collar on the boys neck. A dog collar.
He smirked and hooked a chain to the collar.
Then he dragged the blonde along. "I'll teach you to talk like that about me..."The CEO hissed. ****************************************************************************** ************************************************************************************** ~DowntoBakuraandMalikDowntoBakuraandMalikDowntoBakuraandMalikDowntoBakuraandMa likDowntoBakuraandMalik~
A white haired boy leaned against the stone wall, idly watching the scene before him. His cool brown eyes, lined with Egyptian Kohl, showed boredom. He wore a striped blue and white T-shirt, a leather jacket covered it, and wore black jeans. On his belt were various daggers, a nine-tailed whip, and a few other sinister looking devices. On a rope around his neck he wore a very oversized golden ring, inside the ring a flat pyramid, with the eye of Ra on it. Several points hung from the ring.(Me:*glares at those who don't know what it is yet*The Millennium ring you morons)
"Are you done yet??"He demanded impatiently.
He glared at the door across from him and a muffled yet clear response came... "SHUTUP! I GOTTA FINISH WITH MY HAIR!"A rage-filled voice cried from behind the door.
The white-haired boy growled, and rolled his eyes."It's just gonna look stupid no matter what you do to it."
Finally, the door opened, and a blonde stepped out. His hair was long and blondish white, but it spiked up and looked a bit ragged. He wore golden manacles, a black beater, a long flowing black cape, and khaki jeans(which weren't really white anymore...they were bloodstained). On his belt, a long staff was attached, on the top was an orb with the eye of Ra on it, and two metal pointed horns extended from it. (the Millennium Rod.....)
"Wow, out already Malik, gee, usually you take another century or so, you must be in a hurry today." The White haired boy snapped with a smirk.
The blonde glared at him."Shut up Bakura."
Bakura rolled his eyes again, and suddenly his face became expressionless for a few seconds.
He growled, and then regained his bored look. "Stupid, weak Ryou. I swear if he starts bugging me one more time, I'll have to make his punishments worse tonight."
"Ah yes, but those bloodstains are just SO hard to clean off."Malik mused, glancing at Bakura's pants, which had several splashes of faded blood on them.
Bakura sighed in a bored fashion."Is it just me, or does 'Riku' never send us anyone good anymore?'"
"Hey, you have your Hikari to beat senseless don't you?"Malik countered, glaring at the white haired boy beside him.
"Well, yeah, but there's no one fun to torture besides him...well, except for the Pharaoh's Hikari, now that's fun." Bakura said with a grin, getting a dazed look as though he was imagining his 'fun' with the little boy.
Malik smirked."Yup, we're finally where we should be, and the arrogant Pharaoh is right where he belongs."
Bakura smirked and splashed some water on his hair, then pushed it up so it stayed up in the air and was spiked. He slouched down a bit so he seemed shorter and held his nose in the air. He grabbed a cape and pulled it over his shoulders. He walked around."Look at me, I'm the great almighty Pharaoh!!!" He said in an overly deep voice."I'm amazing and great and awesome and better then you and I'm the king of games and your not. If you touch my Aibou I'll summon my dark magician to send your mind to the shadow realm, because I'm better then you, BWA HA HA HA HA!"
Malik laughed."Now me!" He got down on his knee's and widened his eyes, making himself look sickeningly cute."I'm the little hikari, oh save me great Pharaoh Yami, meany Bakura and Malik are trying to hurt me!" He said in an extremely high voice more fit for a young girl then a boy.
"No, I'm afraid I cannot do that Aibou!" Bakura said, still in the overly deep voice.
"Why not oh great-all-powerful-Yami-who-I-adore-so-much-because-I-can't-do-anything-by-myself?"Malik asked, voice extremely high.
"Because I am too busy putting my favorite gel in my hair, stick-em-up!"
"How do you know he uses that kind of gel??"Malik asked in his normal voice.
"I'm a thief, do I really need to answer that?"Bakura replied, back in his normal voice as well.
"Oh yeah..."Malik cleared his throat, and began talking in the overly high voice again."But Yami, I want some of that Hair gel!"
"Ok My little hikari, you may use some of my wonderful hair gel, for I would not want you to be unhappy."Bakura said, again in the deep voice. The two Yami's made fake gagging noises.
"Oh thank you Yami!"
"You are welcome, now I must go strut in front of a mirror and tell myself how awesome I am!"Bakura walked over to a mirror and marched in front of the mirror."I AM THE GREAT PHARAOH YAMI, I AM AMAZING! FEAR ME! I HAVE POWER OVER YOU!"
Malik walked over to one of their handcuffs and pretended to be stuck in them."AHHH, SAVE ME PHARAOH YAMI, MALIK'S EVIL MIND SLAVES ARE HURTING ME!"
"I'LL SAVE YOU AIBOU! I SUMMON THE DARK MAGICIAN!"
"Hey, you have to sacrifice two monsters to summon him!"Malik cried in his regular voice.
"NO I DON'T, BECAUSE I AM THE PHARAOH!" Bakura called, thrusting one hand into the air.
"That's cheating!" Malik argued
"NO IT'S NOT, PHARAOH YAMI NEVER CHEATS!"
"Oh yeah...well...in that case....I SUMMON THE GODS OF OBELISK, ORSIS, AND RA!"
"HEY! ONLY ONE OF THOSE CARDS IS YOURS!"Bakura cried in his regular voice.
"Well if you can summon without sacrificing then I can use cards that aren't mine, SO THERE!"Malik stuck out his tongue.
"Whatever...."Bakura switched to his Yami voice."Oh no! Heart of the cards, guard me!"
".....It's GUIDE ME YOU MORON!" Malik said looking very annoyed.
"NUN-UH, THE PHARAOH ALWAYS SAYS GUARD ME!"
"IT'S GUIDE ME!"
"GUARD ME!"
"GUIDE ME!"
"GUARD ME!"
"UGH, WHATEVER!"Malik said, then said in a another high voice, even higher then the 'Yugi' voice.
"NO, WE WILL NOT 'GUARD' YOU YAMI!"
Bakura raised an eyebrow."Who are YOU supposed to be?"
"The heart of the cards!"
"Oh..."
"Yeah.." Bakura got back to mocking Yami."Well, why not??"
"BECAUSE WE HATE STICK-EM UP, MALIK'S BRAND OF HAIR GEL IS MUCH BETTER!" The two Yami's cracked up.
"NOOOO....THE HEART OF THE CARDS WON'T GUARD ME!"
"It's 'GUIDE ME!'" Malik muttered under his breath."OBELISK, ORSIS, AND RA, ATTACK THE PHARAOH!"
Bakura screamed girlishly and made groaning and moaning sounds, falling to his knees and crying out overdramatically.
"Oh Aibou, I have failed you.."
"Yami, nooooo!" Bakura pretended to choke.
"JUST DIE ALREADY!"Malik cried after about five minutes of 'Pharaoh Yami's demise.'
Bakura stuck his tongue and acted as dead as possible.
"MWA HA HA HA! THE PHARAOH IS DEAD! THE GREAT THIEF BAKURA, AND...ER.....MALIK, ARE THE NEW PHARAOHS OF THE WORLD!!!"Malik cried.
Both Yami's cracked up, clutching their stomachs, and laying on the ground. After fifteen minutes the finally stopped laughing.
"We have it good."Malik declared, still breathless for laughing so hard.
"Oh yeah."Bakura nodded. The doors at the other end of the room suddenly opened, and the two Yami's looked up hopefully.
Seto Kaiba walked in, dragging the semi-conscious Jounouchi behind him.
"Ooooo, look at this..."Bakura said with a grin." The Lone Kaiba is pissed off and has his puppy dragging along behind him."
"Shut up Bakura."The CEO snarled.
Malik raised his hands in mock defense."Whoa, the great Seto Kaiba is in a bad mood. We'd better be careful Bakura, he might sick one of his Blue Eyes White Dragons on us!!"
"AHHH!"Bakura screamed like a girl and pretended to faint from fear.
The two Yami's cackled again, but Seto didn't look amused.
"Well, I hope you're enjoying your laugh, because you're going to be even happier once you find out I have a job for you."Seto yanked on the chain and Jounouchi was tugged farther into the room.
The blonde was on his hands and knees, a leather dog collar on his neck, the tag said 'Puppy dog' on it. "It seems Jounouchi here is having trouble obeying his new master. He said something along the lines of 'Teaching him a lesson'." Seto stated to Bakura and Malik, watching their faces to see how bad Jou was going to have it.
The two Yami's perked up. Bakura stood to his feet and walked over to the CEO."You want him rare, mediums, or well done?"He asked, pulling a knife from his belt and running his fingernail over the blade.
The knife was bloodstained, much like most of the room.
"Uh, none, thank you, Riku wants him back alive."
"DARN IT!" Malik snapped his fingers.
"However, I would like that you teach the dog to respect his master. He tends to run at the mouth." The CEO kicked the blonde's side."Much to my dislike."
Bakura grasped the chain connected to Jonouchi's collar. "Thank you Seto, feel free to stay..." Bakura said with a grin, various schemes already dancing in his head
. "Er, no thanks..."Seto said, getting the feeling it was best for his mental health not to remain in the room. He turned and left.
"Ok Doggy, time for some fun." Bakura said, in a playful-like tone.
Jounouchi growled, and glared angrily at the whit haired teen before him.
"Better be careful, I think he bites, You think he's had his rabies shots yet?"Malik asked from across the room.
"Who knows?"Bakura answered, pulling on Jonouchi's chain.
"C'mon doggy."
Jounouchi growled and pulled back, standing to his feet."I don't think so. I'm not your dog."
"Wrong-o doggy, now get over here before we decide to make it worse."Bakura sneered, pulling on the chain so Jounouchi had to either come closer or suffocate.
'Fine then, I'll just die.' Jounouchi thought, not moving.
"Get over here!!"Bakura commanded, pulling even harder.
Malik walked over."If you don't, we'll be sure to bring your sister down here in your place." An image of Serenity popped into Jou's head, chained before 'Riku's throne, beaten and bruised. 'I can't leave her to that..' The blonde thought. He slowly stepped forward toward the white-haired boy pulling on his chain.
"That's a good doggy."Bakura said with a smirk. He pulled the chain over to the wall and clamped it onto on of the metal poles.
"Now stay here."Bakura commanded and walked away to find something.
Malik walked over and pulled something from behind his back. A dagger.
"Now first, we need to get rid of this shirt."He said, then brought his fist holding the dagger down.
Jounouchi closed his eyes in anticipation of pain, but it never came.
Instead a loud ripping sound could be heard, and when Jounouchi opened his eyes, the tattered remains of his shirt lay on the floor.
"Hm, what do you think Bakura, should we get rid of the pants too?"Malik asked, a sick smile twisting over his lips.
Bakura smirked, walking back into the room."Might as well, he doesn't need them for what I have planned."
Malik grinned, getting the drift of what Bakura had in mind. "Ok then, off come the pants."He leaned down closer to the chained boy.
Jounouchi waited until Malik was with in inches of him, then kneed Malik in the stomach. The Yami grunted and fell over.
"You ain't taking off my pants you sick-os! They stay on!"Jonouchi cried.
"So, you want to do this the hard way then hm? Ok, fine." The white haired boy kicked Jou in the stomach. The teen groaned and bent over his stomach. Bakura kicked him in the back, knocking him down on his stomach.
Malik had recovered and had gotten up. He pressed a few buttons on the little computer console on the wall. Cuff's shot from the ground and clicked, locking onto Jounouchi's ankles and wrists. Jounouchi tried to pull free, but the golden manacles held fast. The boy pulled at them for awhile, then looked around.
Malik and Bakura had disappeared.
"Bakura's busy getting ready for his part."A voice said behind him. Malik' s voice. "So for now we get to play."
There was a whistling sound, like something cutting air, and Jou tried to steady himself for what he knew was coming.
"AHHHH!" Jounouchi cried out as his back exploded in pain.
He looked over his shoulder in time to see a leather whip flashing down on him with too many tails to count.
He cried out again and again as the whip came down on his soft unprotected skin. The whip bit deeply into his back, drawing warm blood that began to cover the ground beneath the blonde. The teen thrashed and tried to jerk away from the snaking whip, to no avail. 'I won't cry, I won't cry..' Jou mentally screamed at himself. Something warm and wet hit his right hand, He was crying. Malik continued on for about half an hour, seemingly maddened, before he quit, sending one last blow that struck Jou from shoulder to waistline. The beaten teen's bloodied shoulders were shaking from sobs that racked his body, relieved that it was over.
But it wasn't.Jou looked up to see Malik squatting down in front of him, his lavender eyes filled with sick joy. The blonde teens hurt eyes changed to defiance.
" Someday, I'm going to pay you back for this, and you'll scream and cry more then I did."The bound teen snarled.
Malik snorted."You'll regret those words boy."He pulled a knife from his belt.
He held the blade at different angles, watching the light hit the steel blade.
Then he smirked and lightly slashed Jounouchi's cheek.
The blonde gasped. Malik traced his finger over the wound and licked the blood from his finger. The Yami's lavender eyes shown with bloodlust.
Without warning, he bit hard into Jou's shoulder. The boy cried out in pain as the Yami drew blood and licked the crimson warm substance.
"You sicko!" Jou growled and tried to shake the bloodthirsty Yami off of him. This resulted in Malik biting harder and sucking more. He licked until he could see exactly where Jou's scars would be. He withdrew his mouth from the blonde's shoulder. He licked the remaining blood from his lips.
"You sick minded bastard."Jou hissed. "Language."The Yami said, waving his index finger.
He created several more gashes, some large, some mere scratches.The Yami sucked each cut dry. By then, Jou was starting to feel light headed.
Then the Yami moved to the boy's back. He then stabbed the knife into the teens back.
Jou screamed out in pain as the Yami began to draw something in his flesh, using Jou's back as if it was his own personal canvas.
Finally he was done. He pulled out a small tiny mirror and shined it so Jou could see what he'd done. Kanji for Dog was now scrawled on his back, bleeding profusely.
Malik smirked."Hope you like it, because it will remain for the rest of your life." He turned and left the room. Jou shuddered, the room spinning. He let out a howl of anguish, and then everything went black
. ****************************************************************************** ******************************************** (Sorry everyone, I was gonna include Ryou, but seeing as the Yu Gi Oh part of the chapter is long as it is, I'm gonna leave him for next chapter.

Riku glared at his dragon-a-fied friend.
Wait a second, maybe right now he wasn't really his friend anymore. Sora's face twisted into a demented grin."Thank you for setting me free. I was getting pretty bored in there."
"Bastard, you let Sora go right now! Or else!" Riku's dragon blade flared with energy to prove his point. Riku looked far more the pissed, he was ready to rip Lucifer's head off.. and he would have if Lucifer HAD a head.
"No, I don't think so."Lucifer/Sora said, still smiling in a sinister fashion "Now that I'm out, I feel like wreaking some mass destruction."
Riku's eyes narrowed."Not while I'm here."
Lucifer/Sora smirked."Then you will die." Blade's extended from his finger tips.
He let out a beast like hiss, as he shifted into a crouched position
"Bring it on."Riku declared, clutching his dragon blade tightly.
Sora/Lucifer charged forward, blade like claws ready.
Riku flapped his wings and shot upward just before Lucifer's razor sharp blades could sink into his flesh.
Lucifer pulled off an amazing aerial maneuver, twisting and changing direction from down to up with hardly any loss of speed. He charged upward and slashed at Riku with Sora's keyblade.
The silver-haired boy cried out as the blade struck, the block mysteriously had been removed, so it left a long gash across his chest. The blow sent Riku spiraling back several feet.
Riku regained control and balance, and growled at the dragon being before him. He summoned dark energy into his palms once more.
Lucifer shook a finger."Ah ah ah, if you hurt me, you'll hurt your friend."
Riku glared at him."If that's what I have to do to rescue my friend, so be it. It's the only way I'll get him back." He sent a wave of crackling dark energy slamming into Lucifer. The teen let out a cry and began creating his own orb of energy. It was dark rainbow colored.
"Lets see how you like it!"Lucifer/Sora hissed.
He sent the energy slamming into Riku. Riku cried out in pain as the energy struck him. His body heaved as the attack cleared.
He glared at Lucifer/Sora and spat out some blood.
"HOOOORRRRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRR!" The dragon-boy let out a roar and surged forward. This time Riku was too slow and the blade's slashed at his leg, cutting off his left pant leg and creating a gash in his shin, revealing a bit of his bone.
Riku's skin crawled and his stomach did a flip at the sight of this. 'I've gotta finish our fight quick...' "Sora! C'mon, I know your in there! Fight him!" Riku called, trying to reach his best friend, but Lucifer only laughed.
"He can't hear you Riku! Sora no longer exists!" Lucifer sneered.
"That's not true! He's still in there!" Riku cried.
Lucifer grinned, a scary contrast to Sora's dazzling smile. "No, he's not."
He flew toward Riku and snapped his dragon tail like a whip. He launched it forward, slicing Riku's shoulder with the blade. The blade came back around and slashed him in the chest, striking like a scorpion's tail, faster then the eye can see.
Riku grunted and swung his blade around, slashing the dragon child.
The boy fell back, a cry escaping from his fanged mouth.
'There's gotta be some way to bring him back.....wait, I got it!' Riku flew as high as he could. He spread his black angel wings wide. His keyblade began to glow with a black, blue, and deep violet light. Waves grew to tsunami size, and water spun from the ocean and around Riku,. The wind picked up, along with sand, and black flames erupted from Riku's body. Suddenly, the clouds parted, showing the moon. It's glow illuminated the fifteen year old, bathing him in pale silver light. The clouds closed up, and the storm raged worse then before, seeming angry with the clouds parting.
Riku floated there, glowing with the dark part of every element. Then, a light burst from the crown necklace that hung around Lucifer/Sora's neck.
" Wha? What's happening?" Lucifer cried.
"One of Sora's favorite attacks. Hopefully it'll wake him up."Riku said grimly, his eyes set on the dragon creature that was once his best friend..
"Why do you speak of one who you know is gone!?"Lucifer demanded, frowning deeply and glaring at the15 year old.
"He's not gone!"Riku said."I know it, because if he was, this wouldn't be possible." Riku then dove straight down, his keyblade pointed right at Sora. The blade dove into the heart of the boy.
Lucifer/Sora screamed out as pain coursed through the body, tearing through flesh with the darkness of every element. There was a flash of pure light from Sora's heart...it grew bigger, until it enveloped him.
When the light vanished, all of the demonic traces were gone. Sora floated there, bruises and gashes from the fight blemishing his tan skin, blood soaking his tattered clothes, seemingly in suspended animation, head down.
"Riku, thank you."Sora said, in his normal voice.
Riku blinked, looking hopeful."Does this mean Lucifer's gone? Is it over?"
Sora shook his head, still gazing at the water's below."No, he's not. I can still feel him."
Riku looked at him."..Sora, I don't want to attack you....but I have to. And I'm sorry, but it'll hurt...a lot... I know you've already been through so much...but I have to do this."
Sora's head remained down. "Sora...?"
"Then go ahead Riku..."Sora said, looking up at his best friend, his sky blue eyes dull and sad.
Riku blinked."Huh?"
Sora's battered arms lowered, and the Essence keyblade vanished from his bloodied hands."Do what you came to do."
Riku's eyes widened."Are you crazy?? That kind of attack could kill you if you just take it head on."
Sora looked down again."If that happens, then so be it."
Riku gave a pleading look but Sora didn't see it. the silver haired teen sighed and nodded. He placed the point of his blade over Sora's heart.
Tears were streaming from his eyes. "Sora...I'm sorry, I hope you'll forgive me somehow." Then he brought back his arm. His dragon blade glowed with rainbow light. Then he stabbed it forward with the force of a lightning strike into the smaller teenager's heart.
Suddenly, it felt as if a part of Sora was being torn from his body. Darkness was torn from the roots they created deep in his heart. It was ripped away, like a scab that wasn't needed. And it hurt like hell. Finally, the light vanished, and Sora fell to the ground on his knees.
There was a pause, and Sora's fragmented cry of anguish pierced the air.
Riku dove to his friend, all important propose forgotten. He took his shaking friend into arms, holding him close, rocking him back and forth, in an embrace meant to fend off the world.
Shoulder's shaking, Sora cried on his best friend's shoulder, pain screaming through his body. Finally, his tears stopped and he looked up at his friend, his energy all lost. Riku looked back, tears in his own eyes along with regret and sorrow. Sora gave a forced smile, which Riku didn't even try to return. "Riku...I'm sorry too." Sora whispered, before finally collapsing in his friends arms, unconscious.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The sky echoed with the sound of thunder crashing and lightning streaked across the sky. Rain poured from the heavens, the angels crying for what was to unfold. On the ground, two best friends faced each other. One of them charging at the other, who held his weapon ready.
Sora's eyes widened and he jumped to the side at the last second, dodging his best friends assault. Riku turned on a dime and shot back, bringing his blade down to strike the younger boy. The smaller boy dodge, rolled away and took to the air in a flourish of soft rainbow feathers, Riku following.
'Why is he doing this?' The brunette wondered, other questions soon following. 'Why's he attacking me, why is his keyblade glowing....ugh, what the heck is going on here??'
Riku swung his blade around at the boy, his larger size giving him a powerful swing. Sora narrowly dodged and brought his own key blade back. The silver haired boy blocked Sora's attack and spun around.
Sora gasped as the dragon blade created a gash in his arm. His hand flew to the cut on his arm, it rested there for a moment before Sora replaced his hand on the hilt of his blade. The cut stung badly and blood slowly gushed from the wound 'I forgot how much that hurts!' Sora thought, glaring at Riku slightly.
The silver haired teen sent another swinging attack at the brunette.Sora folded his wings and dropped a foot so the dragon blade swept over his head, then he blocked with his keyblade.
Riku pulled back and pushed off the ground. He flew higher then dove, using the altitude to gain extra speed. The smaller teen dodged the extreme speed attack and spun around to face his opponent, and his best friend. The look on Riku's face surprised Sora slightly. Riku's mouth was set in a grim line, his aqua blue eyes held sorrow, almost as thought he didn't want to fight brunette but had to.
Riku summoned a small ball of dark energy into his palms. The energy grew bigger, starting at the size of a blueberry and working to the size of a softball, then about the size of a computer monitor. Finally, when the orb was the size of a small car, Riku couldn't hold it any longer. He sent the orb speeding toward Sora.
The brunette's blue eyes widened, he tried to dodge to the right, but the orb was too big and too fast. The crackling black energy crashed into the smaller teen, forcing Sora cry out as pain throbbed throughout his body. Finally, the energy faded, the boy floated there, fists clenched, teeth pressed together, and eyes tightly closed. He tried desperately to ignore the pain but it was too over powering. Sora floated the for a few more seconds before gaining enough energy to move his body.
"Riku, why are you doing this?" Sora demanded, slowly cracking one eye open. For a moment all he saw was crimson liquid. The energy attack had broken blood vessel's in his eye. He blinked repeatedly and it cleared.
Riku straightened up, determined yet sad."It's the only way Sora."
"Why is it the only way?" Sora asked, almost pleading with his best friend.
Riku's head hung for a moment before he returned his gaze to Sora's eyes.
"It's the only way we'll get you back..."
"Huh??" Sora exclaimed, slowly regaining enough energy to move completely. The brunette looked at the silver haired teen in utter confusion.
'He should at least know...' A voice within Riku's head whispered.
'But the King said-' Riku began, but was cut off by the voice. 'Forget what he said, look at your best friend! He should at least know WHY your hurting him...' The voice argued.
Riku sighed, still holding his dragon blade tightly, and began to talk.
~Flashback~
Riku slowly walked out of the shack and headed toward the cave that led to Essence Point, both of his hands shoved in his pockets. The lightning flashed and suddenly a face with large ears and rather large nose, hovered before him.
"Ack!"Riku cried, jumping in surprise, eyes wide and heart pounding.
"Relax, it's just me! King Mickey!"The face cried.
Riku took a few moments to clam down before looking at the face closer. Two huge ears popped out from behind it's head and a small golden crown sat on top. The face had a mousy snout and large black nose. It was in fact King Mickey. Riku took a step back so he could see the King standing before him (yes, he's there, he's NOT just a floating head)
"Oh....Don't scare me like that!"Riku growled, narrowing his eyes at the mouse.
"Sorry." Mickey apologized, quickly.
His face was etched with worry and excitement. Which caught Riku off guard slightly.
"Uh...so why are you here now?" Riku asked watching King Mickey.
"Because I know how to help Sora." The mouse king replied.
Riku's eyes widened and his heart sped up again. "Really? Then you go talk to him!"
Mickey shook his head, sadly. "That's not what going to help him."
"Then what is it?" Riku asked cocking one eye brow up.
Mickey sighed."Did you notice the dark aurora coming from Sora when he refused to help?"
Riku's eyes widened."So I wasn't imagining it?"
Mickey nodded."That dark aurora is real and...I believe it's the remnant's of Lucifer's control."
Riku frowned deeply. "Didn't Kairi get rid of that?"
"Well...She did... but only got rid of most of it..."Mickey stated looking sad and a little distressed.
Riku sighed, hanging his head. He knew where this was going. "What am I supposed to do?"
"You have to get rid of Lucifer's control."Mickey answered.
"Well, yeah, I figured that much, but how?"Riku asked, slightly irritated and getting the feeling he wasn't going to like the answer.
Mickey held out his hand."Hand me your dragon blade."He commanded.
"What? Why!?"Riku demanded.
"Just let me see it for a second."
Riku growled."Fine... but you'd better not mess with it "
He placed his gleaming black weapon in the mouse's hand.
Mickey used his left hand to pull the block off of the blade.
"Hey, why'd you do that?"Riku asked."That was there so I don't end up killing someone!"
Mickey closed his eyes and held the blade in front of him with both hands. Energy began to gather into the weapon, a glow beginning to come from the surface. Finally, he placed the dragon blade back in Riku's hands, and it glowed with a white light.
Riku raised an eyebrow."Why'd you do that??"
"So you can free Sora."Mickey explained, his face still holding a sad expression.
"...I don't get it..."
Mickey sighed again."And they say Sora is thick headed."He muttered under his breath, which Riku caught, and shot a glare at the mouse king.
"OK, tell me, how many time's has Sora lost a battle since he came back?"
"Uh..." Riku paused, recalling all of the battles. ".........none.."
"Yes, now basically, that many wins has brought his ego WAAAAAAAAY up there. That combined with Sora's plain old stubbornness has awakened what remains of Lucifer's control. Now the only way to get rid of that, is a lesson in humility...a lesson only learned by loss."
The King tapped the dragon blade on the fifteen-year-old's hand. "You get it now?"
Riku's eyes widened."Uh-uh! No, no, and no! I am NOT going to attack Sora. If he needs it so much, you do it!"
Mickey shook his head."I can't. My keyblade seals people's hearts. Yours is the one that unlocks them, Remember?"
Riku crossed his arms over his chest and glared hard.."I'm STILL not doing it."
"Look, you've have to unlock his heart, that's where Lucifer is, and he's feeding off of Sora's ego." Mickey pleaded.
"I'm not doing it! I'll end up hurting him again!" Riku stated stubbornly.
"He's going to be hurt more if you don't."Mickey countered."Which is worse?"
Riku didn't have anything to argue to that."Fine.."He said, defeated letting his arms droop to his sides."I will...I just hope he'll be ok afterwards."
"He'll be better then ever, trust me."Mickey said with a small smile.
Riku nodded."Ok then."He began to walk away but Mickey called to him and Riku turned back around. "Oh, and Riku...Don't tell him. That will most likely awaken Lucifer's control, and that will hurt him even more."
"Fine, I won't. Can I go now??" The silver haired teen snapped.
"Yes."Mickey said quietly, before vanishing.
Riku turned and headed toward Essence point. 'Maybe if I'm lucky an evil seagull will fly out of the sky and kill me before I get there...'
~end flashback~
Sora floated in mid air, eyes wide." I-I....I don't understand...Lucifer's still inside of me?"
"Yes, and we need to get rid of him, or you'll remain incomplete."
'Well, that explains why I've been feeling so bad for the past year' Sora thought.
Suddenly, a pain throbbed in the brunette's mind. The boy held his head and screamed.
"Sora!?"Riku cried, eyes wide and full of shock and fear."Sora, what's wrong?"
Sora closed his eyes and tears of crimson blood streamed down his cheeks. He still clutched his head. "I-I don't know...just help me...Riku...please"
A dark light suddenly burst from the teenagers heart and enveloped him. An animal like scream came from the orb of black light.
The one Riku had never wanted to hear again.
"RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Slowly the dark light cleared, and what Riku saw chilled him to the bone.
Sora was floating there, eyes closed, arms crossed over himself and a dragon tail wrapped around him. There was blade at the end of the tail like a scorpion's tail. Sora's once human ears were replaced by wolf-like ones that stood straight up. "S-Sora?" Riku stuttered, eye wide and heart pounding. The boy's eye lids snapped open revealing expressionless and cold as ice blue eyes, that lacked pupils. His mouth spread into a sneer, showing off two fangs. The boy held out his arms, and blades appeared from his elbows. The dragon tail flexed and twisted upward, until it was arched above Sora's head similar to the way scorpions set themselves up for an attack. Then two ripped, black dragon wings burst from the boy's back.
"Ah crap...not again."Riku moaned, taking a subconscious step back.
"Hello there Riku.." The dragon boy said, in a voice combined with Sora's voice and an old enemy known as Lucifer.

"DID I NOT TELL YOU TO STOP BEING SO SOFT???" The Shadow Riku's voice demanded, his sea green eyes narrowed and watching the blonde teen that stood before him.
Jounouchi glared up at the silver haired tyrant, but said nothing.
'Riku' walked over to the blonde teen, fists clenched. "I told you to teach the boy a lesson, and all you do it punch him a few times? That is so pathetic. You could do much better then that."
Jounouchi looked away from the silver-haired teen, his eyes still narrowed with hate."You took my sister hostage, you forced me to be one of your stupid croonies. You can't make me hurt my best friend." The street-wise teen pivoted on one foot so he turned to face the boy, using his momentum as extra speed for the punch he threw at 'Riku'.
The sinister monster smirked, and caught the fist with one hand before it made contact with his face.
"I'm glad to see that old look in your eyes, Jounouchi. Too bad for you it's aimed at me." The tyrant said with a sneer.
He brought his other hand back, then thrust it forward and punched the blonde in the gut. Jounouchi dropped to the ground and winced as a strong kick slammed into his side. The boy rolled away before the second kick struck him and kicked his abuser's legs out from under him. 'Riku' fell to the ground with a thump and the blond haired teen stood up. Now it was Jounouchi who kicked the one on the ground. 'Riku' summoned a small amount of dark energy into his palm. In one swift movement he brought his palm up to Jounouchi chest and blasted the energy at the boy, who cried out and fell to the ground, knocked out. '˜Riku' smirked and the limp form and stood up. Just then Seto came into the room, now in armor and with various weapons at his side.
"What is it '˜Riku?" He asked with his typical cold tone. As he glanced around his eyes actually had shown with a bit of emotion when they landed on the downed street kid, but the emotion quickly vanished.
"No need to care, he's just another weak slave, nothing important."˜Riku smirked, and ran a hand through his hair "Take 'General' Jounouchi here down to Malik and Bakura. He seems to be in need of an attitude lesson."
Seto made no notion that he would do what 'Riku' had asked, but he picked up the blonde and left the room, without a sound

Jounouchi groaned at the splitting head ach he felt over taking is mind.
He opened his eyes and found himself being dragged down the hallway.
"Huh...uh...wha?" He murmured, confused.
"So, the puppy dog is finally awake." Seto's voice hissed coldly.
"Wha...Kaiba?!?"Jounouchi cried, twisting to face the voice.
"No, I'm the Easter bunny, puppy dog."Seto said sarcastically.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Jounouchi yelled, anger and rage spreading through him.
"Tsk...temper, temper."Seto smirked.
Jou growled but decided to calm down, he wouldn't get anywhere arguing with Kaiba."What's going on here?" He demanded, his voice still etched with anger.
"Ah, the puppy dog disobeyed his master, so Master decided to send you down to Malik and Bakura." Seto said coyly, the edges of his mouth twitched up in a small smile.
Jounouchi paled visibly. Malik and Bakura were in charge of the torture chambers.
The horrible, and terrifying, torture chambers that very few came away from alive, and sane. The screams echoing from those chambers were so loud, that they could be heard from miles away, and keep you awake for weeks. Yes, there were other torture chambers, but Malik and Bakura were well known for being insane, sadistic, and just plain cruel. (sounds kind of like my math teacher) Seto snorted."Looks like the Chihuahua's got his tail between his legs."( Beta Reader: A Chiwowa if you don't get it by the spelling)
Jou growled."I'm NOT going to Malik and Bakura." He forced his heels down in to the ground, preventing his movement."You can't make me go!"
"Want to bet?"Seto said, pulling a card from his belt. (One guess what it is) "We can do this the easy way or the hard way puppy dog."
Jounouchi growled."Neither!" He pulled himself from Seto's grip and dashed down the hallway.
Seto sweep kicked the boy with his foot, and Jou crashed to the ground. "Stop embarrassing yourself puppy dog."The brown haired boy hissed standing up, his cold blue eyes looking down and the blonde teen before him.
Jounouchi growled."I'm not done yet."
He pulled out his most prized card."I summon the Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon!"
A streak of purple light came from the card, and the huge black dragon appeared before the fallen blonde. Jounouchi grinned and got to his feet. "Yo Kaiba, say hello to my Red-Eyes-Black-Dragon. His name is Rouge (1). Say hello Rouge."
The dragon's eyes flashed and he looked down at the brown haired teen before him and growled lowly. "Oh yeah, he can talk too. Isn't he awesome?"Jounouchi patted the dragons leg, a gleam in his dark brown eyes.
The dragon narrowed his eyes at Seto."Master, is this human bothering you?"The dragon asked in a deep, rich voice.
"Yeah, he is."Jounouchi answered.
"Then allow me to take care of him for you."The dragon said, taking a step toward the lone Kaiba brother.
"Ah, sure, go ahead Rouge." Jou smiled, and crossed his arms over his chest, smiling in satisfaction.
The dragon bared it's needle sharp teeth, and let out a loud and long roar.
Seto seemed unimpressed and looked over at Jounouchi in sheer boredom. "I don't think so, Puppy dog. Two can play at this game." Seto held the card he had pulled from his belt out."I summon the Blue-eyes-white-dragon!"
There was a flash of blue light from the card, and an image of a white creature before... BOOOOOOOOOOM! The Blue dragon appeared and landed on it's huge, talon feet, blocking Jounouchi's path. It glared at Jou with it's pale blue eyes snarling madly.
"Ok Puppy Dog, meet Kaiser(2) the first of my three blue-eyes-white-dragons. Say hello Kaiser."
"HAAROOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRR!!!"The beast bellowed, throwing his head back.
"Kaiser, Jounouchi here isn't listening, do you suppose you could,..." Seto paused, then smiled, "motivate him to come along willingly?"
"Of course Master." The white dragon said in a icy voice, similar to Seto's.
Jou's eyes widened."Crap.."He murmured.
Rouge's red eyes also widened, but they quickly narrowed. The black dragon took his place in front of Jounouchi and spread his wings wide."You aren't touching my master."
Kaiser snorted, steam coming from his nostrils. He stepped forward, sizing up to his full height, quite a bit higher then the Red Eyes Black Dragon that blocked him from Jounouchi."I can eliminate you with one breath, little one. You may be great, but when it comes to dragons, I am King."
"Er...correction, that's either Orsis or Ra...."Jounouchi said meekly, but both dragons ignored him, staring at each other in utter hate.
"Regardless of that, I will defend my master to the end, even if it comes to that." Rouge growled, baring his fangs.
Kaiser's eyes narrowed."Then so be it." The dragon slammed shoulder first into the black dragon, sending the smaller beast slamming into the dirt.
The smaller dragon quickly rose, then jumped into the air, despite the low ceiling, and dove into the Blue eyes, knocking it back slightly.
The blue dragon pivoted and struck the black dragon with it's tail, again sending the Red eyes slamming into the ground.
The black dragon rose once again and sucked in a breath, then blew flames at the blue dragon. The blue eyed dragon staggered slightly from the flames, but recovered. It began to create it's own attack.
"Any last words?" The dragon asked.
"Stop!" Jounouchi cried."Rouge...I don't want to lose you over me, go back to your card."
The Red eyes black dragon turned, it's slightly bruised body aching slightly."But master..."It protested.
"Rouge, I don't want to see you destroyed, do as I say!"
Rouge sighed."As you wish, master." There was a flash of red light, and the monster disappeared, leaving Jou unguarded and slightly down hearted.
Seto snorted."Your weaker then I thought puppy dog. Too bad your master, Yugi isn't here, eh?"
Jounouchi growled." Shudup Kaiba!" He snapped."I just care about my monsters, unlike you! You wouldn't care if that dragon of yours was going to be destroyed."
Kaiser blinked, uncertainty shown in it's blue eyes. Was this blonde human right? Did his master care for him?
Kaiba growled."Your wrong! I care plenty for Kaiser!"
"Sure you do Kaiba. I highly doubt that though, I mean, if you joined forces with that freak back there, you obviously just don't care about the people who were your friends, like Yugi, and me, and lets not forget about Mokuba." Kaiba's eyes widened at his little brothers name. He walked over to the blonde and fisted him hard in the gut
."I cared plenty about my brother, you dog. Don't you EVER say I didn't."He hissed.
Jou recovered from the blow."Oh really? If you care so much about him, then how come you joined up with 'Riku'? I doubt Mokuba would have liked that."
"I wouldn't talk, Puppy! I highly doubt Serenity is too proud of you joining up with him either!"The CEO shot back, hands clenched into fists.
"I had no choice Kaiba! YOU did! I'm doing this because if I don't, 'Riku' will torture my sister. YOU, on the other hand, did it because you couldn't take it! You were too weak, and decided you didn't care anymore! How can you call me a dog when you act more like a puppy with his tail between his legs! If you ask me, you're just being a pushover."
Seto's eyes narrowed dangerously. He grabbed the boy by his shirt collar."Take that back, puppy dog!"
"Why should I when it's true, you stuck up rich Git!" Jounouchi shot back, glaring with pure hatred.
Seto dropped the blonde. He backed up slightly, head down.
'Maybe I talked some sense into him...' Jonouchi thought.
Suddenly Seto looked up, a cold, icy expression on his face. He crossed his arms over his chest and gazed back at Kaiser.
"Kaiser, attack him. Just don't kill him. I want him alive..."The CEO said icily, returning his gaze back to Jou.
The Blue-eyes-White-dragon, which had been silent the entire time, opened it's mouth, and a roar ripped from it's throat.
Jounouchi's eyes widened fearfully. 'Oh man, this is gonna hurt....' A burst of white lightning and blue fire came from the dragon's mouth and enveloped the blonde, who's bloodcurdling scream echoed through the building.
When the attack cleared, Jounouchi lay, unconscious and scorched, on the stone floor.
"Ok Kaiser, that's enough." Kaiba said quietly, but forcefully.
The dragon vanished.
Seto walked over to Jounouchi and placed a leather collar on the boys neck. A dog collar.
He smirked and hooked a chain to the collar.
Then he dragged the blonde along. "I'll teach you to talk like that about me..."The CEO hissed. ****************************************************************************** ************************************************************************************** ~DowntoBakuraandMalikDowntoBakuraandMalikDowntoBakuraandMalikDowntoBakuraandMa likDowntoBakuraandMalik~
A white haired boy leaned against the stone wall, idly watching the scene before him. His cool brown eyes, lined with Egyptian Kohl, showed boredom. He wore a striped blue and white T-shirt, a leather jacket covered it, and wore black jeans. On his belt were various daggers, a nine-tailed whip, and a few other sinister looking devices. On a rope around his neck he wore a very oversized golden ring, inside the ring a flat pyramid, with the eye of Ra on it. Several points hung from the ring.(Me:*glares at those who don't know what it is yet*The Millennium ring you morons)
"Are you done yet??"He demanded impatiently.
He glared at the door across from him and a muffled yet clear response came... "SHUTUP! I GOTTA FINISH WITH MY HAIR!"A rage-filled voice cried from behind the door.
The white-haired boy growled, and rolled his eyes."It's just gonna look stupid no matter what you do to it."
Finally, the door opened, and a blonde stepped out. His hair was long and blondish white, but it spiked up and looked a bit ragged. He wore golden manacles, a black beater, a long flowing black cape, and khaki jeans(which weren't really white anymore...they were bloodstained). On his belt, a long staff was attached, on the top was an orb with the eye of Ra on it, and two metal pointed horns extended from it. (the Millennium Rod.....)
"Wow, out already Malik, gee, usually you take another century or so, you must be in a hurry today." The White haired boy snapped with a smirk.
The blonde glared at him."Shut up Bakura."
Bakura rolled his eyes again, and suddenly his face became expressionless for a few seconds.
He growled, and then regained his bored look. "Stupid, weak Ryou. I swear if he starts bugging me one more time, I'll have to make his punishments worse tonight."
"Ah yes, but those bloodstains are just SO hard to clean off."Malik mused, glancing at Bakura's pants, which had several splashes of faded blood on them.
Bakura sighed in a bored fashion."Is it just me, or does 'Riku' never send us anyone good anymore?'"
"Hey, you have your Hikari to beat senseless don't you?"Malik countered, glaring at the white haired boy beside him.
"Well, yeah, but there's no one fun to torture besides him...well, except for the Pharaoh's Hikari, now that's fun." Bakura said with a grin, getting a dazed look as though he was imagining his 'fun' with the little boy.
Malik smirked."Yup, we're finally where we should be, and the arrogant Pharaoh is right where he belongs."
Bakura smirked and splashed some water on his hair, then pushed it up so it stayed up in the air and was spiked. He slouched down a bit so he seemed shorter and held his nose in the air. He grabbed a cape and pulled it over his shoulders. He walked around."Look at me, I'm the great almighty Pharaoh!!!" He said in an overly deep voice."I'm amazing and great and awesome and better then you and I'm the king of games and your not. If you touch my Aibou I'll summon my dark magician to send your mind to the shadow realm, because I'm better then you, BWA HA HA HA HA!"
Malik laughed."Now me!" He got down on his knee's and widened his eyes, making himself look sickeningly cute."I'm the little hikari, oh save me great Pharaoh Yami, meany Bakura and Malik are trying to hurt me!" He said in an extremely high voice more fit for a young girl then a boy.
"No, I'm afraid I cannot do that Aibou!" Bakura said, still in the overly deep voice.
"Why not oh great-all-powerful-Yami-who-I-adore-so-much-because-I-can't-do-anything-by-myself?"Malik asked, voice extremely high.
"Because I am too busy putting my favorite gel in my hair, stick-em-up!"
"How do you know he uses that kind of gel??"Malik asked in his normal voice.
"I'm a thief, do I really need to answer that?"Bakura replied, back in his normal voice as well.
"Oh yeah..."Malik cleared his throat, and began talking in the overly high voice again."But Yami, I want some of that Hair gel!"
"Ok My little hikari, you may use some of my wonderful hair gel, for I would not want you to be unhappy."Bakura said, again in the deep voice. The two Yami's made fake gagging noises.
"Oh thank you Yami!"
"You are welcome, now I must go strut in front of a mirror and tell myself how awesome I am!"Bakura walked over to a mirror and marched in front of the mirror."I AM THE GREAT PHARAOH YAMI, I AM AMAZING! FEAR ME! I HAVE POWER OVER YOU!"
Malik walked over to one of their handcuffs and pretended to be stuck in them."AHHH, SAVE ME PHARAOH YAMI, MALIK'S EVIL MIND SLAVES ARE HURTING ME!"
"I'LL SAVE YOU AIBOU! I SUMMON THE DARK MAGICIAN!"
"Hey, you have to sacrifice two monsters to summon him!"Malik cried in his regular voice.
"NO I DON'T, BECAUSE I AM THE PHARAOH!" Bakura called, thrusting one hand into the air.
"That's cheating!" Malik argued
"NO IT'S NOT, PHARAOH YAMI NEVER CHEATS!"
"Oh yeah...well...in that case....I SUMMON THE GODS OF OBELISK, ORSIS, AND RA!"
"HEY! ONLY ONE OF THOSE CARDS IS YOURS!"Bakura cried in his regular voice.
"Well if you can summon without sacrificing then I can use cards that aren't mine, SO THERE!"Malik stuck out his tongue.
"Whatever...."Bakura switched to his Yami voice."Oh no! Heart of the cards, guard me!"
".....It's GUIDE ME YOU MORON!" Malik said looking very annoyed.
"NUN-UH, THE PHARAOH ALWAYS SAYS GUARD ME!"
"IT'S GUIDE ME!"
"GUARD ME!"
"GUIDE ME!"
"GUARD ME!"
"UGH, WHATEVER!"Malik said, then said in a another high voice, even higher then the 'Yugi' voice.
"NO, WE WILL NOT 'GUARD' YOU YAMI!"
Bakura raised an eyebrow."Who are YOU supposed to be?"
"The heart of the cards!"
"Oh..."
"Yeah.." Bakura got back to mocking Yami."Well, why not??"
"BECAUSE WE HATE STICK-EM UP, MALIK'S BRAND OF HAIR GEL IS MUCH BETTER!" The two Yami's cracked up.
"NOOOO....THE HEART OF THE CARDS WON'T GUARD ME!"
"It's 'GUIDE ME!'" Malik muttered under his breath."OBELISK, ORSIS, AND RA, ATTACK THE PHARAOH!"
Bakura screamed girlishly and made groaning and moaning sounds, falling to his knees and crying out overdramatically.
"Oh Aibou, I have failed you.."
"Yami, nooooo!" Bakura pretended to choke.
"JUST DIE ALREADY!"Malik cried after about five minutes of 'Pharaoh Yami's demise.'
Bakura stuck his tongue and acted as dead as possible.
"MWA HA HA HA! THE PHARAOH IS DEAD! THE GREAT THIEF BAKURA, AND...ER.....MALIK, ARE THE NEW PHARAOHS OF THE WORLD!!!"Malik cried.
Both Yami's cracked up, clutching their stomachs, and laying on the ground. After fifteen minutes the finally stopped laughing.
"We have it good."Malik declared, still breathless for laughing so hard.
"Oh yeah."Bakura nodded. The doors at the other end of the room suddenly opened, and the two Yami's looked up hopefully.
Seto Kaiba walked in, dragging the semi-conscious Jounouchi behind him.
"Ooooo, look at this..."Bakura said with a grin." The Lone Kaiba is pissed off and has his puppy dragging along behind him."
"Shut up Bakura."The CEO snarled.
Malik raised his hands in mock defense."Whoa, the great Seto Kaiba is in a bad mood. We'd better be careful Bakura, he might sick one of his Blue Eyes White Dragons on us!!"
"AHHH!"Bakura screamed like a girl and pretended to faint from fear.
The two Yami's cackled again, but Seto didn't look amused.
"Well, I hope you're enjoying your laugh, because you're going to be even happier once you find out I have a job for you."Seto yanked on the chain and Jounouchi was tugged farther into the room.
The blonde was on his hands and knees, a leather dog collar on his neck, the tag said 'Puppy dog' on it. "It seems Jounouchi here is having trouble obeying his new master. He said something along the lines of 'Teaching him a lesson'." Seto stated to Bakura and Malik, watching their faces to see how bad Jou was going to have it.
The two Yami's perked up. Bakura stood to his feet and walked over to the CEO."You want him rare, mediums, or well done?"He asked, pulling a knife from his belt and running his fingernail over the blade.
The knife was bloodstained, much like most of the room.
"Uh, none, thank you, Riku wants him back alive."
"DARN IT!" Malik snapped his fingers.
"However, I would like that you teach the dog to respect his master. He tends to run at the mouth." The CEO kicked the blonde's side."Much to my dislike."
Bakura grasped the chain connected to Jonouchi's collar. "Thank you Seto, feel free to stay..." Bakura said with a grin, various schemes already dancing in his head
. "Er, no thanks..."Seto said, getting the feeling it was best for his mental health not to remain in the room. He turned and left.
"Ok Doggy, time for some fun." Bakura said, in a playful-like tone.
Jounouchi growled, and glared angrily at the whit haired teen before him.
"Better be careful, I think he bites, You think he's had his rabies shots yet?"Malik asked from across the room.
"Who knows?"Bakura answered, pulling on Jonouchi's chain.
"C'mon doggy."
Jounouchi growled and pulled back, standing to his feet."I don't think so. I'm not your dog."
"Wrong-o doggy, now get over here before we decide to make it worse."Bakura sneered, pulling on the chain so Jounouchi had to either come closer or suffocate.
'Fine then, I'll just die.' Jounouchi thought, not moving.
"Get over here!!"Bakura commanded, pulling even harder.
Malik walked over."If you don't, we'll be sure to bring your sister down here in your place." An image of Serenity popped into Jou's head, chained before 'Riku's throne, beaten and bruised. 'I can't leave her to that..' The blonde thought. He slowly stepped forward toward the white-haired boy pulling on his chain.
"That's a good doggy."Bakura said with a smirk. He pulled the chain over to the wall and clamped it onto on of the metal poles.
"Now stay here."Bakura commanded and walked away to find something.
Malik walked over and pulled something from behind his back. A dagger.
"Now first, we need to get rid of this shirt."He said, then brought his fist holding the dagger down.
Jounouchi closed his eyes in anticipation of pain, but it never came.
Instead a loud ripping sound could be heard, and when Jounouchi opened his eyes, the tattered remains of his shirt lay on the floor.
"Hm, what do you think Bakura, should we get rid of the pants too?"Malik asked, a sick smile twisting over his lips.
Bakura smirked, walking back into the room."Might as well, he doesn't need them for what I have planned."
Malik grinned, getting the drift of what Bakura had in mind. "Ok then, off come the pants."He leaned down closer to the chained boy.
Jounouchi waited until Malik was with in inches of him, then kneed Malik in the stomach. The Yami grunted and fell over.
"You ain't taking off my pants you sick-os! They stay on!"Jonouchi cried.
"So, you want to do this the hard way then hm? Ok, fine." The white haired boy kicked Jou in the stomach. The teen groaned and bent over his stomach. Bakura kicked him in the back, knocking him down on his stomach.
Malik had recovered and had gotten up. He pressed a few buttons on the little computer console on the wall. Cuff's shot from the ground and clicked, locking onto Jounouchi's ankles and wrists. Jounouchi tried to pull free, but the golden manacles held fast. The boy pulled at them for awhile, then looked around.
Malik and Bakura had disappeared.
"Bakura's busy getting ready for his part."A voice said behind him. Malik' s voice. "So for now we get to play."
There was a whistling sound, like something cutting air, and Jou tried to steady himself for what he knew was coming.
"AHHHH!" Jounouchi cried out as his back exploded in pain.
He looked over his shoulder in time to see a leather whip flashing down on him with too many tails to count.
He cried out again and again as the whip came down on his soft unprotected skin. The whip bit deeply into his back, drawing warm blood that began to cover the ground beneath the blonde. The teen thrashed and tried to jerk away from the snaking whip, to no avail. 'I won't cry, I won't cry..' Jou mentally screamed at himself. Something warm and wet hit his right hand, He was crying. Malik continued on for about half an hour, seemingly maddened, before he quit, sending one last blow that struck Jou from shoulder to waistline. The beaten teen's bloodied shoulders were shaking from sobs that racked his body, relieved that it was over.
But it wasn't.Jou looked up to see Malik squatting down in front of him, his lavender eyes filled with sick joy. The blonde teens hurt eyes changed to defiance.
" Someday, I'm going to pay you back for this, and you'll scream and cry more then I did."The bound teen snarled.
Malik snorted."You'll regret those words boy."He pulled a knife from his belt.
He held the blade at different angles, watching the light hit the steel blade.
Then he smirked and lightly slashed Jounouchi's cheek.
The blonde gasped. Malik traced his finger over the wound and licked the blood from his finger. The Yami's lavender eyes shown with bloodlust.
Without warning, he bit hard into Jou's shoulder. The boy cried out in pain as the Yami drew blood and licked the crimson warm substance.
"You sicko!" Jou growled and tried to shake the bloodthirsty Yami off of him. This resulted in Malik biting harder and sucking more. He licked until he could see exactly where Jou's scars would be. He withdrew his mouth from the blonde's shoulder. He licked the remaining blood from his lips.
"You sick minded bastard."Jou hissed. "Language."The Yami said, waving his index finger.
He created several more gashes, some large, some mere scratches.The Yami sucked each cut dry. By then, Jou was starting to feel light headed.
Then the Yami moved to the boy's back. He then stabbed the knife into the teens back.
Jou screamed out in pain as the Yami began to draw something in his flesh, using Jou's back as if it was his own personal canvas.
Finally he was done. He pulled out a small tiny mirror and shined it so Jou could see what he'd done. Kanji for Dog was now scrawled on his back, bleeding profusely.
Malik smirked."Hope you like it, because it will remain for the rest of your life." He turned and left the room. Jou shuddered, the room spinning. He let out a howl of anguish, and then everything went black
. ****************************************************************************** ******************************************** (Sorry everyone, I was gonna include Ryou, but seeing as the Yu Gi Oh part of the chapter is long as it is, I'm gonna leave him for next chapter.

Riku glared at his dragon-a-fied friend.
Wait a second, maybe right now he wasn't really his friend anymore. Sora's face twisted into a demented grin."Thank you for setting me free. I was getting pretty bored in there."
"Bastard, you let Sora go right now! Or else!" Riku's dragon blade flared with energy to prove his point. Riku looked far more the pissed, he was ready to rip Lucifer's head off.. and he would have if Lucifer HAD a head.
"No, I don't think so."Lucifer/Sora said, still smiling in a sinister fashion "Now that I'm out, I feel like wreaking some mass destruction."
Riku's eyes narrowed."Not while I'm here."
Lucifer/Sora smirked."Then you will die." Blade's extended from his finger tips.
He let out a beast like hiss, as he shifted into a crouched position
"Bring it on."Riku declared, clutching his dragon blade tightly.
Sora/Lucifer charged forward, blade like claws ready.
Riku flapped his wings and shot upward just before Lucifer's razor sharp blades could sink into his flesh.
Lucifer pulled off an amazing aerial maneuver, twisting and changing direction from down to up with hardly any loss of speed. He charged upward and slashed at Riku with Sora's keyblade.
The silver-haired boy cried out as the blade struck, the block mysteriously had been removed, so it left a long gash across his chest. The blow sent Riku spiraling back several feet.
Riku regained control and balance, and growled at the dragon being before him. He summoned dark energy into his palms once more.
Lucifer shook a finger."Ah ah ah, if you hurt me, you'll hurt your friend."
Riku glared at him."If that's what I have to do to rescue my friend, so be it. It's the only way I'll get him back." He sent a wave of crackling dark energy slamming into Lucifer. The teen let out a cry and began creating his own orb of energy. It was dark rainbow colored.
"Lets see how you like it!"Lucifer/Sora hissed.
He sent the energy slamming into Riku. Riku cried out in pain as the energy struck him. His body heaved as the attack cleared.
He glared at Lucifer/Sora and spat out some blood.
"HOOOORRRRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRR!" The dragon-boy let out a roar and surged forward. This time Riku was too slow and the blade's slashed at his leg, cutting off his left pant leg and creating a gash in his shin, revealing a bit of his bone.
Riku's skin crawled and his stomach did a flip at the sight of this. 'I've gotta finish our fight quick...' "Sora! C'mon, I know your in there! Fight him!" Riku called, trying to reach his best friend, but Lucifer only laughed.
"He can't hear you Riku! Sora no longer exists!" Lucifer sneered.
"That's not true! He's still in there!" Riku cried.
Lucifer grinned, a scary contrast to Sora's dazzling smile. "No, he's not."
He flew toward Riku and snapped his dragon tail like a whip. He launched it forward, slicing Riku's shoulder with the blade. The blade came back around and slashed him in the chest, striking like a scorpion's tail, faster then the eye can see.
Riku grunted and swung his blade around, slashing the dragon child.
The boy fell back, a cry escaping from his fanged mouth.
'There's gotta be some way to bring him back.....wait, I got it!' Riku flew as high as he could. He spread his black angel wings wide. His keyblade began to glow with a black, blue, and deep violet light. Waves grew to tsunami size, and water spun from the ocean and around Riku,. The wind picked up, along with sand, and black flames erupted from Riku's body. Suddenly, the clouds parted, showing the moon. It's glow illuminated the fifteen year old, bathing him in pale silver light. The clouds closed up, and the storm raged worse then before, seeming angry with the clouds parting.
Riku floated there, glowing with the dark part of every element. Then, a light burst from the crown necklace that hung around Lucifer/Sora's neck.
" Wha? What's happening?" Lucifer cried.
"One of Sora's favorite attacks. Hopefully it'll wake him up."Riku said grimly, his eyes set on the dragon creature that was once his best friend..
"Why do you speak of one who you know is gone!?"Lucifer demanded, frowning deeply and glaring at the15 year old.
"He's not gone!"Riku said."I know it, because if he was, this wouldn't be possible." Riku then dove straight down, his keyblade pointed right at Sora. The blade dove into the heart of the boy.
Lucifer/Sora screamed out as pain coursed through the body, tearing through flesh with the darkness of every element. There was a flash of pure light from Sora's heart...it grew bigger, until it enveloped him.
When the light vanished, all of the demonic traces were gone. Sora floated there, bruises and gashes from the fight blemishing his tan skin, blood soaking his tattered clothes, seemingly in suspended animation, head down.
"Riku, thank you."Sora said, in his normal voice.
Riku blinked, looking hopeful."Does this mean Lucifer's gone? Is it over?"
Sora shook his head, still gazing at the water's below."No, he's not. I can still feel him."
Riku looked at him."..Sora, I don't want to attack you....but I have to. And I'm sorry, but it'll hurt...a lot... I know you've already been through so much...but I have to do this."
Sora's head remained down. "Sora...?"
"Then go ahead Riku..."Sora said, looking up at his best friend, his sky blue eyes dull and sad.
Riku blinked."Huh?"
Sora's battered arms lowered, and the Essence keyblade vanished from his bloodied hands."Do what you came to do."
Riku's eyes widened."Are you crazy?? That kind of attack could kill you if you just take it head on."
Sora looked down again."If that happens, then so be it."
Riku gave a pleading look but Sora didn't see it. the silver haired teen sighed and nodded. He placed the point of his blade over Sora's heart.
Tears were streaming from his eyes. "Sora...I'm sorry, I hope you'll forgive me somehow." Then he brought back his arm. His dragon blade glowed with rainbow light. Then he stabbed it forward with the force of a lightning strike into the smaller teenager's heart.
Suddenly, it felt as if a part of Sora was being torn from his body. Darkness was torn from the roots they created deep in his heart. It was ripped away, like a scab that wasn't needed. And it hurt like hell. Finally, the light vanished, and Sora fell to the ground on his knees.
There was a pause, and Sora's fragmented cry of anguish pierced the air.
Riku dove to his friend, all important propose forgotten. He took his shaking friend into arms, holding him close, rocking him back and forth, in an embrace meant to fend off the world.
Shoulder's shaking, Sora cried on his best friend's shoulder, pain screaming through his body. Finally, his tears stopped and he looked up at his friend, his energy all lost. Riku looked back, tears in his own eyes along with regret and sorrow. Sora gave a forced smile, which Riku didn't even try to return. "Riku...I'm sorry too." Sora whispered, before finally collapsing in his friends arms, unconscious.
