Chapter 2:

Yami looks over at Seto as they walk from the hanger bay, "Give me your thoughts on that ship in there" he says as they walk.

Seto shakes his head, "The workmanship on that ship isn't too advanced, but it seems as if it has a mind and life of it's own. It could possibly sentient or at least programmed to appear to be such" he tells the captain.

Yami nods as he continues to walk, pausing only for a moment to tell a few of the younger crew to get back to work before continuing one again. Seto glances over knowing the shorter captain had something on his mind and wouldn't reveal it until the moment was right. Yami's thoughts were wrapped around the reason for the Sennen Eye to be chasing that particular vessel. It just didn't seem like something Pegasus would do. His brow furrowed as his thoughts drew deeper towards what was found on the ship. They approach the medbay quickly stopping at the sound of feral growls coming from within. Seto pulls out a his gun, setting it to stun as he and the captain approach, more or less cautious of what they would find within.

"What in Ra's name is happening?" Yami growls out as he moves to enter into the room, just as one of the guards is thrown through.

Seto and Yami look at each other before moving inside only to narrowly avoid a table heading their way. The pair dive down and hide behind an overturned examination table just as the other one crashes into the wall. Yami looks around, seeing Bakura unconscious on the floor, a bleeding gash at his temple. The captain of the Dark Magician moves quickly to where Marik was crouched behind another table. He was not happy with this turn of events when he saw that even Marik carried a few battle wounds.

"What in the seven hells is going on in here? Why wasn't I notified?" he demands.

Marik looks up, "That creature woke up and started shouting out in some type of bird language or something then things started flying" he says.

The creature growls again, wings flared out as his pale lavender eyes glow fiercely. Another table is thrown in their general direction as Seto moves next to Yami. He attempts to take aim only to find that the creature was protected by other tables and equipment circling his body. Yami attempts to move toward it, staying low to the ground, only to be pushed back into the wall by an invisible force. The captain was sufficiently dazed at the moment leaving Seto and Marik to deal with the creature.

"We have gotta stop it" Seto growls out.

Marik glares at him, "What do you think we've been trying to do for the past hour!"

Yami shakes his head as he tries to shake the darkness from his vision. He moves away from the wall, trying to make his way past the crouched pair to the teen. The tri-haired male has his hands out in a sign that he meant no harm. Malik hisses and flares his wings again at the approaching captain. Marik blinks as Seto moves to tackle Yami down, thinking the captain had finally lost all his marbles.

"Yami…get you ass down here" he snaps out as he finally makes a tackle.

Marik looks over and places himself between the pair as Malik says something What do you want with me?

"How?" he asks realizing that he understood what Malik was saying, "Just calm down before something bad happens to you"

Malik hisses in surprise as he narrows his eyes How do you understand…release me you monsters.

Marik moves closer to the other watching him closely, eyes lowered a bit so as to not challenge or frighten him further. Yami and Seto watch Marik as if he was insane. The older male knew this was right, some how, some way he knew. It was as if instinct was taking over his thoughts as he continues towards the creature. Malik didn't know what to make of this as he hisses, but doesn't make any move to attack. He flares his wings when Yami tries to approach with Seto's help. Marik looks back and shakes his head for them to stay back.

"Young one…would it be better if no one was here?" he asks softly.

Malik growls softly and nods No one…you only he says.

"Yami, Seto, get everyone out and into the second medbay. I'll meet you there" he says as he continues moving.

"Are you insane? You'll be killed" Yami says.

"I'll be fine. I know I will" Marik tells them, "Trust me"

Yami frowns but nods, "Very well you have one hour then we return" he grounds out.

He motions for the remaining guards to grab up Bakura as Seto helped him from the medbay. Marik waits for them to leave before moving towards Malik, closing the remaining feet quickly. Malik was still wary, his wings flared still in his fear.

You….you all monsters he says, this time the voice appearing in Marik's mind, You kill…you kill people…

Marik shakes his head, "We don't kill unjustly" he says, "I swear to you"

Malik stares into Marik's eyes then nods, You not kill? You shot, but no kill?

"We don't always kill. We rather not kill unless they are a threat, even then we won't kill" he says, "Take now, if we wanted you dead you would have been."

Malik shakes his head as he falters a moment, Why?

Marik moves to Malik's side, "You are hurt and exhausted. Let me take you to get help" he says as he moves to rub the other's wing.

Malik looks up as he nods his head a bit You help…you stay? he asks softly.

"What is you name?" he asks softly.

Malik blinks sleepy eyes Malik… he yawns a bit.

"Marik here" he says, "Sleep now then I'll bring you to the infirmary. But you must not harm anyone. If I am gone I will be back" he says.

Malik nods as he yawns again, Okay

Marik nods as he continues to rub the wing, noticing that the other was starting to fall asleep. When the creature had fallen asleep he picks him up and moves down the hall to the other part of the infirmary/medbay. Yami looks up from one bed as Marik comes in. He reaches for his gun wary of the creature sleeping soundly in the older blond's arms. Marik shakes his head as he moves to lay him down on a bed, Malik shifted at the loss of the warm arms. Marik moves away and motions for a medic to look over the other.

"He says his name is Malik" he says to Yami and Seto, "He was frightened that we would kill him"

Marik watches as the doctor injects a sedative into the teen, Malik wincing and whimpering a bit. He sighs as he turns to face the captain and first mate. He yelps as another medic starts to work on his wounds.

"Did you find out anything useful?" Seto asks as he glances over at the teen.

"Not yet. How's Bakura?" he asks.

"A bump on the head. He's sleeping now" Yami says, "When your patched up head to the radar room and check for the Sennen Eye"

"What ever" he says before stalking out.

"Something up?" Seto asks the captain.

Yami shakes his head, "Just wanting to make sure we won't have any more surprises is all."

"Hn… alright. I'll head to meet up with Mokuba in the computer room to check out what he found" he says.

Yami nods before also leaving behind Seto. The pair parted ways in the hall.

Jonouchi continues to pace the room, Ryou sighing as he watches him pass by them for the umpteenth time. The older teen growls as he suddenly punches the wall, causing the ship to protest to the rough treatment. Ryou winces as he shakes his head at the antics of the blond.

"I knew it. I shouldn't have let him go. Now those demons have him and who knows what they will do to him." he growls out as he punches the wall again, "They'll probably enslave him"

Ryou frowns as he sighs, "He'll be fine. He is one of the top warriors in your classes afterall" he says then sighs, "He's getting worse. I cannot help his wings birth without the possibility of losing him. The chance for infection is too high. We need to find help"

"I know" Jou says softly looking down at the young prince, "Hold on Yuge'" he says.

Ryou continues to try and cool Yuugi's burning fever, "Dark prince" he moans out softly.

"Huh? Ry' is he okay?" Jou asks the healer.

Ryou nods as he moves to stand for a moment, "He's dreaming. We need to get my staff and your sword before they find them."

Jou nods, "I know. After the raven haired demon leaves I'll go and get them" he says.

Ryou shivers as he feels odd, 'No…I'm not like my cousin he thinks to himself I cannot be effected…please no

Jou looks up as he notices his friend's sudden silence, "Ry you okay?" he asks.

Ryou shakes his head, "I'm fine now" he says to Jonouchi.

Jonouchi moves from the room, heading down the hall silently as he looks to see if the demon had left and found him gone. He sighs as he moves towards his and Ryou's rooms, grabbing up the sword and dagger there and the staff from Ryou's room. He couldn't touch Yuugi's crown or staff because it was protected and only the royal family and relatives of the royal family can do so without being harmed. He then moved into Malik's room grabbing his scimitars. He grabbed his shadow cloak as well before returning to the room. Ryou looks up as he moves into the room and sighs when he spots the cloak.

"You're going out there?" he asks softly.

Jou puts the cloak around his shoulders and nods, "I have no other choice. We can't let them take Malik from us now can we. That and I'll try to locate a healer for Yugi"

Ryou bites his lower lip, "Please be careful" he says as he holds his staff.

"You know me" he says with a smirk.

"That's exactly it…I do know you" he says.

Jou just sticks his tongue out, "Stay here and stay quiet." he says as he sobers up, "I'll be back quickly.

Ryou watches his friend slip out the door and then sighs. The white haired teen moves to Yugi's side again, trying to cool his fever gently as he sighs softly.

Jou moves down the halls of the ship, staying to the shadows as he pulls the hood over his face now. The blond moves silently through the halls once he leaves the ship. He stops a moment to check something before he continues on his way hoping to not run into any crew members, though if he did it wouldn't be much to elude or even take them out. He sighs as he finds the ruined medbay and smirks a big as he sees the damage he knew that Malik had done. He was he strongest with mental attacks and this was definitely his handy work. The sound of an alarm suddenly ripped through the hall as he stops, waiting to see what was going on and hears the shouts of various crewmember as they move to take care of a mechanical problem. He hears a voice that sounded like the one that took Malik and sees him run out of sight quickly. Jou moves after him then stops, blending into the shadows as he removes a long, thin, yet strong dagger and wraps his arms around another, placing the dagger a his throat with a smirk.

Heheh… welps all… that's all for this chapter of Lost Angels. Tune in next time for another chapter and see just what will become of the one Jou has and what will become of the others.

Please read and review.
