My Heroes: A Hero's Journey
Chapter 17
In the front room of the house, Marik and Bakura sat facing each other, both seem stressed out and trying to concentrate on something. Suddenly, Marik leaned over and moved something that was placed in between them. He then looked up and smirked at Bakura.
"And that's checkmate!" he said as he knocked over the white chess King with his own black chess piece.
"Darn it!" Bakura yelled as he picked up and threw the chess board up against the wall, destroying it. "I'll see your soul burn in hell for this!" he threatened as Marik just stood there laughing. "Don't think I'm bluffing!"
Suddenly, after jumping down from the roof, Malik ran though the door, leaving it open.
"What are you guys doing!" he yelled.
"Woping Bakura at chess," Marik replied.
"That one way ticket to hell is still going you know!" Bakura yelled at Marik.
"Why aren't you on guard?" Malik asked.
"We'd thought we'd take a break," Marik replied.
"Yeah, I mean it's not like anyone is going to find us in a little house like this…" Bakura said before he noticed the worried look on Malik's face. "Are they?"
"Well…" Malik began before he heard a noise outside.
"Knock, knock," a voice came from outside.
"Oh Ra, they're here…Hit the deck!" Malik responded before he suddenly grabbed and dragged Marik and Bakura down to the floor.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the back room of the house, Tea replaced the cloth on Kaiba's head with a new one as he laid on the bed.
"Hang in there Kaiba," she whispered.
Suddenly, the whole house violently shock as a sound of an explosion. This knocked Tea off balance and fell to the floor.
"Ouch! What was that?" she wondered as she got to her feet again and ran downstairs.
Just as Tea reached the bottom of the stairs, Malik, Marik and Bakura came out from under the rumble to find the front of the house been blown off leaving a huge hole leading to the outside. Once the smoke cleared the four saw three men standing there.
One of them wore a sleeveless red trench coat, with a blue top and trousers underneath it, a black and red headband on; long black hair tied back, green eyes and played with a dice in his hand. The second one had an orange/yellow suit with a few tubes sticking out of it, red hair and blue eyes. And the third one had long brown hair on his head as well on parts of his body and also purple bangs and a brown trench coat on. Just like in Malik's vision.
"Was that completely necessary," the third person said.
"Yes," the other two replied.
"What's life without a little bang," the first one said holding up another dice as it started to glow and then flicked it at the heroes. They just managed to jump out the way before it exploded.
"Any of you mind explaining to me who the three non-musketeers are?" Marik asked.
"Fine, Marik this is dice boy, fire-dude and the kitty-cat." Bakura mocked, as they three intruders grew angry.
"Don't call us that!" the three villains yelled.
"Bakura, you don't need to make them any angrier!" Tea replied as she pointed out them. "Marik, this is Duke, Alister and Rex."
"Ha, no need to call us those weak names either!" the Duke replied. "I'm Gambit," he said as he held up another dice.
"I'm Pyro," Alister said as he reached out his hand at one there the small flames form the explosion and then formed into a fireball in his hand.
"And I'm Sabretooth, ROAR!" Rex yelled before he let out a roar.
"Yawns oh that was so scary," Malik replied sarcastically.
"You should be!"
"Enough!" Tea said as she stood in between the two sides. "What do you guys want anyway?"
"Let's see what was it that Kyra said…" Rex wondered out loud. "Oh yeah, it was to search and destroy!"
"And we don't want disobey orders do we?" Alister said.
"Well you don't other wise you'll get blown up again!" Duke replied as he four heroes looked on in confusion.
"Long story…" Alister said to them before turning back to Duke. "Anyway, she'll blow us all up if we don't do our job! And this time she won't be so forgiving!"
"Fine, then let's do it then!" Duke replied before the three villains charged at them as Malik, Marik and Bakura charged back at them.
Meanwhile, in Kyra's castle…
Brian suddenly appeared from behind a doorframe in the corridor.
"Darn thing," Brian whispered as he looked down at the thing around his neck. He then crept up against that wall. Suddenly, he heard someone coming from around the corner. "Oh shit!" he cursed looked down at the locket with the red ruby hanging from his neck. "Come on work!" he then picked it up and started shaking it.
But just as the person, who had long black hair tied back with a long black trench coat on and a red and black headband on over his forehead, came around the corner, the locket's ruby turned blue and Brian disappeared again.
"Few!" Brian said out load making the other person turn around thinking he heard something. 'Shit!' he thought as he covered his mouth. But person just moved on and Brian sneaked away, trying not to make a sound.
He wondered down the corridor invisible, looking in each room hoping to find his captured friends. Suddenly, he walked pasted as room, but then bent back after catch a glimpse of something interesting as his invisibility wore off again.
He then walked into the room, which was dark with a table up against the wall and something on it. Brian went up to the table to find blue prints of some sort of machine
"I don't believe it!" he said as he held up the plans and smirked. "I think I'll just take these!" Brian picked up the plans and folded them into his trench coat. But as he turned around as shuriken came flying right past his face, just inches from it, and stuck into the wall behind him. Brian looked back at it and then turned his head back towards the doorway to see the man he pasted in the corridor.
"The first one's a warning…" the man said as Brian looked at him seriously. "Let's play!"
"Bring it on!" Brian replied.
Meanwhile, back at the house…
The fight wasn't going so good with in the heroes' odds. Tea tried to get back up to Kaiba but Rex stopped her and then she became involved with in the fight.
"Ha, ha! It's over!" Duke laughed. "If you give up now we won't hurt you!"
"Huh?" confused Alister and Rex responded.
"Okay, we will, ha ha ha!" Duke laughed again, but suddenly, he was hit over the head with a metal pipe from the rubble. "Ouch!"
"Who did that?" Alister said as he turned around. "What the…" Suddenly, the pipe rinsed up and hit him before he could see who hit him. This caused him to fall and hit the ground as the person with the pipe kept on battering him.
"Take that! And that! And that!" the person yelled as she kept on hitting Alister. The person was a girl who had long darkbrown hair and green eyes. Suddenly, Rex came up from behind her and grabbed hold of her.
"Got ya!" he said.
"I don't think so!" she replied as she walked forwards straight through his arms to his surprise. But suddenly he was in for an even bigger one when a metal fist came flying at him, knocking him out instantly.
"Grr, you'll pay for that!" Duke replied as he got up, seeing a man standing in front of the brown haired and green-eyed girl. His body was covered in sliver armour, even his eyes were covered in the sliver armour, and he also had long black, steel like, hair. Duke stood up and threw a load of glowing dices at him.
"Look out!" Malik, Marik and Bakura yelled, but he just stood there just the dices exploded against his metal armour, un-effecting him. He looked down at where they exploded and then looks back up at Duke.
With in seconds he managed to get hold of Duke and throw him through the back wall of the house, knocking him unconscious.
Malik, Marik and Bakura just stood there with their mouths dropped open as they looked at the hole in the wall where Duke was thrown into and then turned back to look at the man responsible, while Tea smiled at the two newcomers. But as they turned their heads back, the armoured man's armour suddenly disappeared one it's own to reveal the man's true form. He had long light brown hair and violet eyes. Once he rinsed he was being watched, he and the girl smiled at them.
"Hi Professor Gardner!" the girl yelled happily as she waved to Tea.
