Chapter 13 War

Bakura sighed he had been trapping these men like fish in a barrel; they were making it too easy for him.

"You would think they had some kind of brains or something but no, they all go charging into the next trap with no worries. What kind of men serves Media? Dunces?"

Bakura shrugged and moved along the wall again and went to the next trap, this one was two large logs coming from opposite directions, which would cause any person's head if they happened to be there in that moment. Well there would be nothing left of their heads but a pancake.

Bakura smiled everything was going along nicely. Then he frowned, the men were looking more cautious as if they could feel he was there. Going slowly in the darkness was silent as he heard their conversation, eavesdropping to get some clues.

"I still think we are being followed."

"Sure we are…who could follow us into the haunted tombs of the Pharaoh?"

"Someone like us."

"Oh, by the gods you are so edgy."

"At least I am, it has saved my neck the past many traps."

"I must admit, Media never told us about these traps, it's like they were put here while we have been going along." one said looking around the cavern.

"I think Yami found out. And we are in great danger." Two men said agreeing. Those men had been the strong men that had beat him up while in Media's control.

"They actually have brains!" Bakura thought quite amazed. "They just might survive the gauntlet of traps."

Back at camp Yami was preparing for war. He had already sent half of his men back to the city to protect it, while he went and attacked Media at his camp.

Standing with Chaos they were marching for war. They could see Media's camp in the distance.

"Chaos, we attack tonight. We shall take them by surprise. Then hopefully our depleted numbers will then survive." Yami said as they marched.

Chaos nodded then absently thought of the lady that was sleeping in his bed back at his tent. He realized he was not listening to Yami brought himself out of reverie.

"…Then we shall attack with half of our men from the front and half from the back, that should confuse Media enough to give us the upper hand that we need. You shall take that force then you will meet us in the middle and let us know how it went as we go. So with that said let's start out." Yami stepped forward and loosened his blade preparing for a real war.

Chaos moved his troops towards the back of the enemy and waited for Yami's signal. While he waited he thought about Heart in his tent. She had cared for him so kindly after she had hurt him, badly, and then treated him like she should be a king given ever kindness necessary. He was confused. How could someone care so much for him like that? He didn't even care for himself like that. What was wrong with him? He was supposed to be thinking about war and not the feelings of his heart.

"There…Captain, his majesty signals our move forward. Shall we respond that we are?"

"Of course soldier what else would you do stand then and chew your nails?" Chaos said quite grumpily.

The soldier turned a little red and replied back to Yami.

Chaos thought, "So the battle has begun. We shall soon see who is going to win."

He approached the rear guards and then heard Yami's war cry and gave his own terrifying roar, the battle began.

Chaos slashed left and right, soldiers were going down like dried grass in a quickly spreading fire. Then he suddenly came face to face with his worst nightmare…. Seth Kaiba.

"Hello Chaos. So good to see you again since…I WAS BANISHED." He said angrily.

Flashback:

Seth had been selling secrets to other nations and Chaos had found out. He went and told Yami about it and Yami was furious. He gave permission for Seth to be banished.

"I shall get you Chaos, I will kill you one of these days and I will make you pay for what you have done to me." Seth swore as Chaos watched the shadow guards escort him off and out of Egypt.

End of Flashback.

"I have come to fulfill my promise Chaos…. Blue-eyes hold him." Seth commanded.

Spinning around saw two of Seth's blue-eyes dragons sitting behind him waiting for their master's commands. At his command they lunged, Chaos dodged and fled. Running as fast as he could to get away from those beasts.

He saw Media, splayed on his ground his head knocked in declaring him dead. Many of the soldiers were just giving up because they never liked Media. Within 20min. They had won the battle; yet, Chaos was fleeing from an enemy he wished was dead.

Pain seared through his back as he felt one of the dragons bear his claws down his back. Chaos picked up his pace he had to get to an open place or his defense against these dragons would be nul. There out into the desert he saw the spot no soldier stood there and no enemy or friend was there.

Yami watched in fear as he saw Chaos being chased by the Blue-Eyes White dragons. Immediately he called Chaos's brother, Dark Magician, and his father, Sage Magician out.

"Dark, Sage, you must go help Chaos he is being chased by Blue-Eyes dragons, that means Seth is here and now I have a bone to pick with him too.

They ran after Chaos when he was tapped on his shoulder, turning he saw Heart Bakura's Change of Heart.

"Yes?" he asked confused to why she was here in battle.

"Where is Chaos?" She asked remembering how she had woken up not too long ago from a horrible nightmare.

Dream:

She was standing on the desert plain watching three dragons facing Chaos preparing for and attack while her Chaos. "Where did that come from?" she thought. Her Chaos was preparing to defend against it.

The dragons attacked and they left leaving Chaos sprawled across the sands not moving.

She had run over terrified that he might be dead. She went over and felt for a heartbeat, pausing a long time felt nothing. They had killed her Chaos!

End.

She had woken in a cold sweat only to find Chaos gone and the camp almost empty. From the camp doctor she found out that Yami had attacked Media and none of the soldiers had returned yet.

She went running over the sands and found Yami staring after his two other Magicians running off.

He looked at her as she asked her question then pointed after his Magicians.

"I wouldn't suggest that you go. They are fighting Seth's dragons."

Heart's heart nearly stopped, her dream! Those dragons. Before he could say another word she went running in the direction Yami had pointed.

Yami shook his head, then turned he had to now find Seth, and finish the job he wanted to have done years ago. When his father had given Seth to him as his magic tutor, not knowing that Seth would use the young prince as a torturing device every so often to test new torturing ideas.

"Yes," he thought, "I will kill him for harming me the way he did."

Bakura in the caverns watched as only two men were left and boy they were so hard to get rid of, the past 6 traps they had gotten out of quite well.

"This might prove dangerous." He thought because if the last 3 traps didn't hit them he would have to use the manual trap. This would force him to let himself be seen by his enemy to use the trap. But if it went wrong he could be caught and he didn't want to be caught by those men. They just gave him the creeps.

Krystal Fox: So Watcha' think about this chapter. Cause I do believe I am getting closer to the end of this story. Hallelujah! Because it was starting to wear on me. Like a chocolate left to long out in the air, it becomes to grow stale. Anyways tell me what you think. Then I shall have to thank all my reviewers again because there are some of you who are so dedicated to me. Thanks a lot.
