My Heroes: A Hero's Journey
Chapter 35 - Boom Base, part 2

Meanwhile, in another part of the base, minutes before the sudden alert…

"So…I never did get your name."

"Oh, it's…"

"Bakura! Bakura Constantine!"

"Mana, if your not going to be useful, go away!" Bakura yelled at Mana as they were in the jail along with Niri and Mahado, also with Duke, Alister and Rex although they where tied up in chains.

"But Brian said I would be much more useful in here!" Mana cried.

"To do what? Annoy the us and the prisoners?" Bakura asked.

"Hey, that's exactly what he said!" Mana happily replied.

"Well if it help, it's working very well!" Rex commented.

"Get out!" Bakura yelled as he threw a spanner at her, Mana it fazed right through her.

"WA! You big meanie!" Mana cried.

"Oh now you've done it!" Duke replied.

"Mana please, I'm trying to concentrate!" Niri said as she was attaching her device onto the three prisoners. Mahado walked over to a crying Mana.

"Mana, why don't you use your powers to help fix the inside of the machine," Mahado recommended. "I'm sure you'd be a great help to them then."

"REALLY!" Mana happily yelled as her eyes lit up. "That's a brilliant idea!" she yelled before running off back towards the lab, as everyone (including the prisoners)

let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank Ra she's gone!" Bakura replied as he continued to help Niri.

"Okay, one more to go," she said, turning to Alister.

"No way, you're not get that on me!" He yelled as he started wriggling about under the chains, making it impossible for Niri to get near him.

"Hold still," Bakura yelled as him as he reached out to grab him. But suddenly, as Bakura grabbed hold of Alister's wrist, he noticed a black mark just underneath his hand, shaped like the letter 'C'. Bakura stepped back a little in shock as Niri looked on at him, confused what was going on, she then looked down at the mark.

"What's this?" Niri asked, examining the mark.

"None of your business!" Alister snapped at her, as Niri just smirked, brought a knife out of the left pocket of her belt and held it against his neck.

"I'll make my business, now talk!" she threatened.

"Okay, okay! Just…not the face!" Alister pleaded as Duke and Rex rolled their eyes. "It means clone," he explained as Bakura's eyes widened.

"Clone? I thought you was an original?" Niri asked.

"I was, until…I failed on a mission and I was…"

"He was blown up!" Duke laughed as Alister got very annoyed.

"But then I was given any chance and Kyra brought me back to life, but only as a clone of my previous self."

"How does she make them, these clones?" Niri asked.

"Oh yeah, I like I'd tell you that!" Alister laughed as Niri pressed the knife down harder.

"Oh yes you will," she threatened again.

"AH! I don't know! I honestly don't know!" Alister screamed. "When I first woke up I was in some kind of tank!" he yelled as Bakura's eyes shoot open, triggering some kind of hidden memory…

--flashback--

Bakura's eyes shoot open as a sudden shockwave surged though his body. He was surrounded by some strange fluid with in some sort of tank, he also had an oxygen mask on and a few wires sticking out of him. Through the thick liquid and the tank doors, he could vaguely see a few figures watching over him. He started banging on the glass in a bid to get out, or at the very last get their attention. The two figures that stood outside of the tank turned towards him and smirked at him.

"Well look who's finally woken up," one of the figures said before it turned back to the other one. "You've done good."

"It's what I do," the other figure said as they both left.

'I've gotta got out of here!' Bakura yelled in his own thoughts. Ripped the tubes off his body, no matter how much it hurt, and also the oxygen mask before tasking a deep breath. He then rinsed both his hands against the glass in front, mumbled a prayer of some kinds. Then suddenly, he brought them back and slammed them against the glass again, this time shattering it.

As Bakura fell out the shattered pod, bleeding a little, he looked around at the room he was in, which was filled with similar pods like the one he was in.

But he didn't have time to worry about them as he legged it out of there, as the alarm rang through out the entire building.

He wondered through the street for ages, breaking into some clothes stores along the way to pick up something for him to wear.

"That's better," he said to himself as put on his new long black trench coat. He was about to go on until another shop with something of his particular interest. "Smashy smashy!" he said as he broke into the shop and came out with a load of small boxes, most of which stuffed in his coat pocket. He then opened one of the boxes up, pulled out something from it, put the end of it in his mouth and lit up the other end. "Ah, that's better," he said as he smoked the cigarette.

"YOU!" some loud voices yelled from not to far way, which grabbed Bakura's attention.

"What's going on over there then?" he wondered as he began to walk over towards to where it was coming from. "Maybe it's a fight…one can hope," he laughed before he took the cigarette out of his mouth and he noticed something the bottom of his left wrist, but just shrugged and walked on…

--End flashback--

Bakura couldn't stop starring down at his left wrist after he had pulled down his sleeve to reveal it as Niri continued sorting out the prisoners. He then pulled his sleeve back up and immediately walked out of the little jail. Niri noticed this as watched with go.

"Bakura? What's up?" she asked as she got up and began to follow him out. She had just reached the door when she suddenly bumped into Tea who was walking past, looking very sad and confused. "Oh, sorry Tea," she said to her as they both stood up again and Tea blankly starred at her.

"He's got a lot on his mind Bakura has," Tea mumbled before walking on, as Niri gave her a confused look as she left.

"What is going on with everyone around here today!" she said as she looked around for Bakura. "Dang, I lost him."

Although Bakura was not that far away, he was lent up against the wall around the corner. He was looking down at his left wrist down.

"What does this mean?" he mumbled to himself as he ran his fingers over the black C mark on his wrist.

"What does what mean?" Niri asked peering over his shoulder, almost making Bakura jump out of his skin. He jumped away from her and pulled his sleeve again before she could see the mark.

"Nothing! Leave me alone!" he snapped at her.

"But Bakura…" Niri said before the corridor they stood in suddenly shook knocking Niri over, but before she could reach the floor, Bakura leaped and caught her. "Whoa, thanks."

"Don't mention it," Bakura replied before he stood back up and drop Niri out of his arms. "Ever!"

"Ouch!" Niri complained as she hit the floor, but then bounced back up and looked around. "What was that?" she wondered as the alarm suddenly ran through out the entire base.

"That can't be good," Bakura said.
