Chapter 20 finding the light.
All right, I said I would answer a few questions in this chapter. Right now, you should be asking what happened to Malik and Heila. Well I'll tell you in the first few sentences of this chapter-I hope- okay on with the story um… Yugi you do the disclaimer
Yugi- She owns nothing of value. She doesn't own Yugioh and its characters but she does own Eagle and all the other characters she created and she thanks Animegirl20 for creating the name for Eagle's light.
I screamed out in pain. Yugi looked on, worry crossing his face.
"Are you okay Eagle?" He asked once I stopped screaming.
"I think so. Malik is torturing Heila I need to save her." I started once again trying to get up only to fall back from the pain of my arm. I sighed giving up. "Yugi what did happen to Helia and Malik?" I asked looking up at Yugi who had changed to Yami.
He looked at me and sighed. "We're not sure where they went. We kind of hoped you could tell us." He replied after a short while. I stared at him for a while before I nodded. I crossed my legs and began to meditate hoping I could find Heila before Malik could torture her further or worse.
I searched out her energy signal. Even though Malik had control of her, she still had faint traces of our energy. I searched carefully for the energy. It was a while before I found it; it was in the tower that Pegasus kept locked up. I opened my search further and could make out Malik as well. He was in the room with her. I opened my eyes and sighed. Yami came over and sat on the bed.
"Did you find them?" he asked I nodded and pointed out the window to the tower that Tristan and I had been heading towards.
"Their in that tower." I remarked. I no sooner got the words out when a scream escaped from within side me. Yami drew me close to him as I cried from the pain that had just shot through my leg. I looked at my leg. A small trickle of blood began to ooze from my leg. I realized instantly what had happened.
"Malik is torturing her again. We have to go save her now. If she dies I die with her." I told Yami as Tea, Tristan, Joey, Seto, and Ryou came rushing into the room.
Ryou went to my leg and tore a piece of the sheet off the bed. He wrapped it around the wound. Satisfied with his patch job he stood.
"Thank you Ryou." I stated I looked at each one and told them where Malik and Heila were.
"Then let's go save Heila." Joey remarked after I had finished telling them everything except for the part that I would die if Heila died.
We went out the door and found our way down to the courtyard. I lead the way towards the tower. I tried to ignore the pain in my leg and the throbbing from my arm.
I held back a scream as Malik hit her once again. Tears filled my eyes as blood began to seep out of a new wound on my arm not far from where the arrow went through. Yami came to my side as I fell to the ground.
"Eagle, are you okay?" he asked as he helped me back to my feet. As he lifted me, he noticed the fresh wound. "You're bleeding. Ryou give me something to help stop the bleeding."
"No we have to continue. There is no time to worry about my arm we have to save Heila." I cried out as Ryou prepared to tear off a piece of his shirt.
"But Eagle, you're bleeding badly." Yami protested.
I looked into his eyes. Concern and worry filled his eyes. I really didn't have the strength to fight with him.
"Alright. But don't tear up your shirt Ryou." I said finally giving in. I pulled out my deck and searched for a magic card. I threw the card in the air "I summon Dian Keto the cure master." I yelled.
There was a flash of light. When the light faded, a man stood there. He came over to me and began to fix my wounds. Several minutes later, he backed off and disappeared.
We walked towards the door to the tower.
"Um Eagle, how will we save your light when we get to them?" Tea asked as we walked up the stairs.
"The only real way to win a challenge," I said glancing back at Tea, "with a duel."
Tea, Tristan, Joey, Ryou, Seto, and Yami stopped and looked at me.
"But Eagle what if he uses your light against you?" Yami asked.
"Then I'll have to destroy her." I stated as I turned to face them. "I know the risk I'm taking Yami. Believe in me. I won't destroy her if I don't have to." i smiled as Yami's face began to show the understanding he had of the whole thing.
"Let me duel for you." Ryou stated catching us all by surprise.
I looked at him my eyes beginning to fill with tears again. I shook my head not only to remove the tears but also to tell him no. "I can't allow you to do that. This is my fight. Not yours. Please don't interfere." I turned and began walking up the stairs again.
It was quiet as we walked up the stairs. We reached the top a door blocked our way. I could hear movement behind the door. Malik was in there I could sense the millennium rod. That's how he controlled her.
"Please stay out here. I don't wish to get you all involved." I stated as I began to turn the handle. A hand grabbed my shoulder. I turned to see Yami.
"Good luck Eagle." He remarked to me as he let go of my shoulder. I walked into the room and shut the door.
Hmm, good chapter, not a cliffhanger like the one I wanted but it leaves you wondering what's going to happen. Well until next chapter. Don't forget to read and review.
