88 Last Time 88
The violet eyed boy looked over at his sisters shocked face. His own was also in a state of surprise. The palace had been taken over? And it seemed Portayga was their leader. Tenshi didn't like this. If what they had said was true, then chances were that Pharaoh Atem was dead. Anzu might even be too. His heart hurt at the thought. They needed to get out of here as soon as possible, get Makoto and Jabari and head over to the palace. With that plan he motioned for his sister be remain quiet as they snuck away.
"Well well, what do we have here?" both froze at the voice behind them, and before they could turn around, they were hit on the back of the head. The twins fell to the floor, both unconscious, and both unable to know what their fate would be now.
88 This Time 88
Two cloaked figures moved silently through the night. They hide from the guards that were rounding up the people of the capital city. The ones who were not excepting the new rules were either killed or taken to the dungeons. Children clung to their mothers, frightened of the newcomers with their loud voices and blood stained weapons. The two darted into an alley as the guards looked off. They hid behind barrels and took a rest. They had been avoiding being caught all night. And believe me, it was a lot harder then it looked. The shortest one opened the letter and reread it's instructions. They made a few coded gestures to the other who nodded. Getting up the two continued down the alley.
After working through a maze of streets and allies the two made it to the part of the city that had already been evacuated. The tallest of the two brought out a sling slot and picked up a pebble on the ground. They aimed for one of the guards that was patrolling the area and fired. The small stone hit a tender spot on the back of his head and he fell to the ground unconscious. Once he was down the two ran out and over to an inn. They glanced around to make sure the close was clear then slipped inside.
As soon as the door was closed and they turned around a fist consumed of fire was pointed at them as well as a scimitar. Their blue eyes looked up into two pairs of violet. The woman with the fire hand spoke first. "Are you the two Nuru told us about?"
"Yes," said the one with the sling shot. The two pulled down their hoods revealing both to be female. The one with the sling had long blonde hair that was put up into two buns on each side of her head. What could not fit in the buns escaped and made two long tails. The other had short dark blue hair with black highlights. But it could have easily been the other way around. "I am Usagi and this is my friend, Ami. We're here to help you get into the palace."
Rei blinked at the blondes carefree tone. "I'm Rei, and this is Atem." at once the two kneeled to the man.
"We're so glad you're alive our Pharaoh. It was rumored that you had been killed and left out in the desert." Ami said.
"You both can rise. And yes, I would have died had it not been for Rei." he said smiling at the raven haired girl.
Usagi looked at the two and smiled. "Oh you two are lovers!" both became red and surprised. Ami quickly covered the girls mouth.
"Usagi don't be rude. She's sorry. She can be rather nosy at times. Anyways I think we better go over the plan now. Usagi, go drag that guard in here." the blonde pouted but went out to fetch the guard she had hit earlier.
"Um, are you sure you two know what you're doing?" Atem asked.
Ami nodded. "Yes, though Usagi may seem a little dense she is perfectly reliable. We've also been doing stuff like this for years. Have to make a living somehow." as she finished saying this the other girl returned dragging in the guard, who she then proceeded to tie up.
"There. We'll need another guard though if we want this to work." she pointed out. Ami nodded.
"Don't worry, they're crawling around everywhere. It won't be to hard."
"What's the plan?" asked Rei.
Ami walked over to a table where a single small candle was lit. she took out a scroll and unrolled it. It was a map of all the hidden and secret passageways of the palace. "You and Pharaoh Atem are to dress as guards bringing us in. Usagi and I are to play two rebels. Once we get in we will take the normal passage to the dungeons. There we will take out the guards. While I stand watch the rest of you are to free the prisoners. Usagi will help them escaped down this passage."
She pointed to the one that was connected to the prison. "Once they are safely out Usagi will lead them out of the city and to a refugee camp Nuru is preparing now as we speak."
"With the help of some others of course." Usagi explained. "You three are to stay in the palace acting as guards. I will return once I get everyone to the camp."
"Sneaking out that many people. . . someone will surely see you." Rei pointed out.
Usagi shook her head. "Nope. Not when they're shielded."
"Shielded?" Atem asked, raising a brow.
"Usagi has the power to make objects and or people go invisible. We could use this power to get in but she needs to save up her magical energy as much as possible. Now are there anymore questions?"
Rei nodded. "Yes, when do we begin?"
"At dawn."

How could two people just disappear like that? Jabari thought as he was walking up and down the halls of the hideout. He had been looking for Hotaru and Tenshi for nearly two hours now. Makoto had told him they were leaving, but no one had actually seen them go. All the horses were accounted for, now food supplies were taken, and their clothes were still there. No one in their right mind would walk freely into the desert without water or anything for that mater. It was completely suicidal. He could see Tenshi possibly doing it, but not his sister. Something wasn't right here.
As he sighed Makoto rounded the corner. "Jabari, have you found them?" she asked.
He shook his head. "No, and absolutely nothing is missing from the supplies cabinet."
"I know. . . this isn't right. What the hell happened to them?" an idea suddenly popped into the thief's mind.
"Hey, did you check the cellar?"
The brunette looked confused. "No, why would I look there? No ones been down there in ages."
"Exactly. It'd be the perfect place to oh say,. . . hide them." Makoto looked stunned. Before more was said the two bolted back to the main corridor and ran all the way down it. Soon they reached a large iron door that seemed rusted shut. But when Jabari turned the handle it was easily pulled open. The two looked at each other. Both got a bad feeling about the whole thing. They took out their swords then cautiously traveled down the mildew covered stairs. They had to hold onto the railing in order not to slip but even that was of little help. Thankfully they made it down ok and hid in the shadows. Torches were lit, which meant someone was definitely using the place.
The two waited and listened for anyone that might be down there. After a few minutes they were satisfied and moved on in. The place stunk of decay and death. Makoto nearly gagged when she spotted a half rotten dead rat a few feet away. They eventually reached a place that looked like there were cells. Several wooden doors lined the walls with only a small square opening with bars in them. The two separated and began peering into them. Both were a little releaved to find they were free of skeletons or decaying bodies. When Jabari reached the last one on his side he gasped.
"I found them!" he whispered loudly to the brunette. She quickly made her way over to him and peered inside. Sure enough the twins were in there chained to the walls and completely out.
"Hotaru! Tenshi! Wake up! It's us. It's Makoto and Jabari. Please wake up." she cried, still in a slight whisper.
The violet eyed girl began to stir and soon her eyes opened. She looked up and soon spotted the two. "Wha- get out of here now!"
"Hotaru what's going on? Who did this to you?" Jabari asked, ignoring her order.
"It was Portayga. He and a few of the other thieves are planning to take over Egypt and get the Millennium Items. I heard them already say that the palace as been overrun and the Pharaoh killed."
Both looked completely shocked. "Are you sure?" Makoto asked.
"Yes, we're going to be taken to the palace soon. He's also going to use me as bait to lure Bakura out and get the Ring from him. You guys have to go and warn him before that happens."
"We need to get you out of here first." Jabari stated. He then looked down at the lock and cursed. He may be an expert pick lock, but there wasn't just an ordinary lock on the door. It was a dead bolt. He could find a way to hammer it off, but that would take up to much time and someone would surely hear it. "Makoto there's no way to get them out."
The brunette looked fearful and turned to look back at her friend. Hotaru just looked serious. "Go on, we'll be fine. Get as many of your followers as you can and get out now."
The two hesitated, then nodded. "Alright. Be safe Hotaru. We'll find a way to get you and your brother out of this." Jabari said. The girl nodded and watched as the two disappeared from view. She let out a sad sigh and leaned her head back against the wall. The only problem now was getting Bakura to listen. Would he actually come if he thought the pharaoh had her? And if Makoto and Jabari got to him in time. . . would he still come? Only time could tell of what lay in wait for this country .
Spirit- not very long, but at least i got it out. i couldn't think of what else i could add to it.
Tenshi- Ami and Usagi are in it now?
Spirit- yes, i felt bad cause they were the only two out of the senshi not in it...minus Chibiusa, but i can't really use her, this far into the story. well hope you liked it. Please Review! Ja ne
