Humans, Spirits, Magick, and Aliens.
Chapter One: Killer Demons and Spirits?
Seto Kaiba sighed as he stood on the top of the hill, watching as his cousin and
her brother prepared to leave with their father, not willingly you might say... But leaving
all the same.
Sapphire eyes narrowed as Angela, or Demona as she was known to the Demons, embraced a man with long, jaggedly spiked, white hair, her husband, Bakura; who happened to be holding a small baby in his arms, Poor Demona and Bakura... And just after Ryou was born...
Ryou was the small son of the pair below, he had bright red eyes, his hair was a bit of a mystery, but Demona had said that his hair would be like hers and Bakura's mixed together..., "I just don't know what to do..." Kaiba whispered to himself.
'Aw... Seto having twouble? Wiv weaving his wittwe fwiends?' an annoying voice asked in his head.
No...Shut up Seth... Bastard...
'Oh, boo hoo! Seto's being mean to me! You do realize that I can get ya thrown in the Happy House? Right?'
You're point? Kaiba snapped back, Seth, I would like it if you just shut up and leave me alone...
'Can't do that... And you know it... I've been sealed back into your body. Thus we're separate entities in the same vessel.'
Shut up... You're confusing me again... Now, we've gotta go find something for us to do...
'WE? We? HA! That's funny, Seto... You can't possibly be thinking of leaving the others?'
Obviously I am... Now, let's go.
Kaiba turned around and walked down the hill, to much protest from Seth.
TEN YEARS LATER
Special Agents Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, and Seto Kaiba were walking towards a peculiar building, which had been reported as haunted by murderous spirits.
"I guess this is it, eh, Mulder?" Kaiba asked, smirking.
Mulder nodded, "Yeah... Shall we begin?"
"Not just yet." Kaiba said, he pulled out a small compass, it was acting oddly for a compass.
"Not that thing again..." Scully snarled.
Kaiba smiled, "Now, Scully... This little contraption is very useful... It detects evil spirits..."
'Omote... Does it detect spirits with magick?' Seth whispered nervously.
Yes... But it only detects spirits that are not binded to a body... And you are binded to a body.
'Oh...Good... 'Cause those two don't know 'bout me!'
Kaiba shook his head to clear it, and focused on the compass, the needle of which pointed straight ahead.
'WHAT!? That thing's a WOLF spirit! No wonder people have been getting killed! Omote... Do you see it?'
Hai...It's got massive energy... OH SHIT!!
The compass exploded.
MULDER'S POV
The Spirit Compass exploded, Kaiba cursed, "Bloody hell... That ghost is powerful..."
"Evil?"
"No... Just guarding it's home... If we can get the police to quarantine the place there won't be any..." Kaiba fell silent, and seemed to lose train of thought.
Scully looked annoyed, we had gotten her up pretty early so we could do this, "Kaiba?"
Kaiba suddenly shook, and looked at the remains of the compass, "This thing was built so well... Not good..." He looked up as something started to howl.
"What the?"
Kaiba stepped forward nervously, and said, "What is your name?"
A cold angry voice said, "I am the Light Spirit of Psychic! The Spirit wolf Espal..."
Kaiba seemed worried, "And how'd you get here, Espal?"
"Stupid Mortal... Why should I answer that when I have killed the other fools who enter my sacred haven?"
"Because... I may know who you once battled along side!" Kaiba replied.
The thing hesitated this time, "...My... Master? You know of the one known as Telepa?"
Kaiba blinked, "Telepa? Yes! I knew him! He was one of my cousin's friends! The hikari of Psych?"
"You knew that fool as well? According to Ebony, he has been locked away...For being a fool...My Master is dead...Though he was reincarnated...Anyway, what brings you here?"
Kaiba smiled as he said, "Well... My two colleagues and I work on paranormal cases... And you killing any human who enters this place is counted as that."
"I see...I remember who you are...Quake...The cousin of my Master's yami's wife? Yes...Seto Kaiba...The others are searching for you."
"Really? Well... I have one more question of you, Espal... Why'd you kill the humans?"
"The Psychic Krystal, of which my Master and his darker half once held shards of, is here...I am the guardian of it...Thus I will kill any who dare get near..."
"And Ebony is?"
"Have you really been with Humans this long? Ebony is the son of Shadow...I trust you know who he is?"
"Yeah... Now I know who you were talking about... Yami and Shadow... Yami's back?"
Espal, as the spirit called it self, laughed, "Yes...He is back...Returned five years ago...Now, I am tired and I must continue with my mission...Now, May I ask you to leave? And I'll leave humans be...I'll merely terrify them away..."
Kaiba smiled, "Thanks Espal..."
The thing suddenly appeared, it took the form of a pure lilac wolf with extremely long canines and yellow eyes, "You are very much welcome...Now, I have a request of you...My reincarnated partner has been abused by the family that has taken him in...His father, Psych or Bakura, is in a building of the south side of the city, with barred windows and padded rooms. Anyway, could you ensure my partner's safety and free the thief...Before Her Highness returns?"
"I'll do what I can, Espal..." Kaiba now seemed edgy.
The wolf bowed, and disappeared.
NORMAL POV
They walked out of the building, Kaiba was in a conversation with Seth, 'YOU AGREED WITH THAT WOLF'S REQUEST?! SETO, THAT TOMB ROBBER IS DEADLY!!!'
So I've heard... But, I don't think Demona'd be too pleased to hear that her son was abused and her husband was thrown into an asylum.
'Oh...Yeah... You're right...I remember the VERY first time I met her...'
Don't wanna hear it... I need to get to bed... It'd be easier to talk in our soul room.
'Right!' and with that, Seth fell silent.
They reached the Asylum within minutes, Mulder asked Kaiba whether he would recognize the man Espal had referred to.
"Yeah... Don't worry 'bout that Mulder."
Kaiba talked with the receptionist, who seemed terrified of walking down the corridor to Bakura's Cell, "Bakura?"
A man with long jagged hair sat in the corner, looking bored, "Hm? Oh... It's you... What do you want?"
"To tell you something... I'm gonna try to get you outta here...Cleared of what ever got you in."
Bakura started to laugh, his voice becoming more ragged and sinister, "As if you could..."
SCULLY'S POV
I looked at the receptionist, and said, "Is he a Schizo?"
The woman nodded, "Yes... He is Schizophrenic..."
Kaiba smirked as she said this and said, to Bakura, "So...Zork, I believe it is as of now, What do you mean by what you just said?"
"Simple...The Pharaoh promised to get me, Yadounshi, and Kefa outta here...Well...As you can see...He didn't."
"Well, that's Yami, ain't it? Make a promise and then break it?"
'Zork' seemed to agree, "True...I didn't think the reincarnate of Seth was so intelligent...Seeing as that idiotic priest always tried to do things under the Pharaoh's nose..."
Kaiba's eyes darkened to a deep cobalt color, "And exactly is that supposed to mean, Necrophades?"
"Aha...I finally got the High Priest to join in the conversation...Since your vessel doesn't know my last name...So, what's it like being stuck in a cold hearted bastard's body? Away from your precious Pharaoh...?"
"Zork...don't test me..."
The man's voice changed yet again, this time to a lighter voice, "So...Look's like Zork's been misbehaving again...I told him to be nice...Oh, well..."
Kaiba blinked, "Akefia?"
"Yes?" came the reply
Kaiba smiled, "Good...One of the two that will actually listen... Kefa... There's a problem... Wait... Is Bakura listening?"
"Yeah...Yadounshi is listening...He's worried about Ryou...Then again...All three of us are...Yes, Priest, even Zork."
Kaiba nodded, "Ok...Good...Now, I'm gonna try to get Ryou away from the family he's got...from what Espal told me, Ryou's been abused...And...Oh Damn...I need the proof of it..."
"You will have proof...You see...Valan, Demona's friend, has had Ryou over to his house...And has seen massive bruises on Ry's back...Which just pisses us off."
Kaiba blinked, looking worried, "I see...I'm impressed by Zork and Bakura's self control...I figured that once they'd heard about Ryou's being abused they'd fight for control and go kill every single one of the people who caused the boy's pain..."
"I know...I assumed that that's what they'd do...well...Obviously neither didn't...Oh...Yadounshi wants to talk with you now...Thanks for the offer to help us!"
Seconds later, his voice was back to the one we had heard first, "Well...As you can see...Those two have their opinions...I noticed Kefa didn't say a damn thing about Yami...While Zork bitched about him...Odd...Usually it's Kefa doing the bitching, and Zork snoozing...So, what else do you what?"
"Well...Espal said something about the others looking for me?"
Bakura's faced became stony, "Oh...That's Mokuba's doing not mine...In case you haven't noticed, Zork and Akefia's presence in me have caused every damn human here to think I'm a Schizo, thus, It would look odd for some kid to come and get orders from me...Anyways, Mokuba's got it in for you...He's kinda pissed about you leaving..."
"He shouldn't be...Noah was still around...Oh no...Not Noah too..." Kaiba's voice had become hoarse.
Bakura nodded, "Li got hold of Noah...Before he killed the poor kid, he tortured him into insanity...Mokuba's been messed up ever since...You see...I had made sure that some sort of order had gotten to the others, especially after Noah got captured. I'd told Joey and the others not to tell Mokuba...Unfortunately...The kid had already noticed his brother was gone...The last time any of the others saw Noah alive was shortly after Li had made him go insane...Shook most of the team pretty badly...But Mokuba was the worst...Yami told me that almost every night after that, he'd woken up screaming for you...But...You weren't there to comfort him...Joey told me last year...Mokuba's nightmares have gone...The kid's crazy...He's bloodthirsty, and powerful...His partner...Whirl, has transformed...into...something...It's not remotely wolfish anymore... More like an evil cat or something...I guess you could say it's part Panther, Wolf, Dragon, and Phoenix...It's really creepy..."
Kaiba had become pale, "No...Mokuba hasn't become a killer...He can't have..."
"He has! And It's yours and Li's fault! Listen to me...Mokuba is the most insane of the whole damn team...he's frigging sadistic...And is also..."
"Also what?" Kaiba snarled, "What else has my little brother become?!"
Bakura looked sad, "He's...Scared..."
"...What?" Kaiba looked puzzled.
"He's afraid to fight anyone above his power level..." Bakura seemed sad now, "The boy used to love fighting with people just barely above his own power...And now...After he's seen what an extremely powerful warrior can do..."
Kaiba suddenly said, "What else? Mokuba's done something...Hasn't he?"
Bakura's eyes narrowed, "Caught on, eh? Mokuba is kinda...well...brutal...he damn near tore Joey to pieces because he told me about his behavior since Noah died..."
Kaiba stared at him, "And...How can we get you outta here?"
Bakura grinned, "You need a spiritual priest...I need Zork and Akefia gone..."
His voice changed instantly, "WHAT?!"
"ARE YOU INSANE YADOUNSHI?!"
Bakura groaned, and clutched his head, "No...Shut up...NOW!!! NO!!!! YOU WILL NOT STOP MY IDEA!!! IT HAS TO WORK!!!! WE HAVE TO STOP MOKUBA!!!"
Kaiba looked horrified, "What?"
"MOKUBA IS GONNA SEND THE TEAM OUT ON A SUICIDE MISSION!!!!" Bakura passed out, and collapsed.
Kaiba stared, "No..." He turned around and stalked out, shaking.
NORMAL POV
Kaiba strutted quickly out of the asylum, and collapsed in a bench, '...Omote...'
Shut up Seth!!! My baby brother is insane, and he'll kill half the damned team...We've gotta knock some sense into him...
'Omote...It's not that easy...If what Bakura said is true, Mokuba will surely kill you at first sight...Correct?'
Seth appeared in spirit form beside Kaiba, looking concerned, 'You know how dangerous an insane Demon can be...Remember Marik?'
"Hai...I remember...He killed half of his own tribe...Left Ishizu, Odion, and Malik alive..." Kaiba whispered, eyes dulling.
Seth sighed, 'Seto...'
Kaiba glanced at him, "Hai?"
'I will try to help you get Mokuba back...I promise...And we'll get Bakura out of that horrible place and Ryou to safety together...Promise?'
Kaiba smiled, "Promise...Domo Arigatou, Seth-chan...'
Seth nodded and went back to the Millennium Rod that Kaiba had in his belt and under his jacket, Kaiba smiled, Time to get back to Scully and Mulder...
Mulder was waiting for him in the lobby, "C'mon... We're getting ready to find the local police station to find out where Ryou lives..."
"Ok... Got it..." Kaiba whispered.
