Chapter 6
Rematch!
The day was bright for an after noon, the sun was nice and the cool breeze was soothing. Though as Yugi and the Bladebreakers walked up to the abandoned construction site, the weather didn't seem to matter. They were either nervous or agitated, which was better, was basically neither. Tyson was fired up for the rematch and yesterdays practice was enough for him to concentrate.
Once they were under the construction site, it seemed like a ghost town.
"Is it their thing for them to come late when was on time?" Tyson asked annoyed.
"They seemed to have something on their minds." Yugi answered.
They all looked every where keeping their guard up.
"Why so serious? Come on now, the weather is nice today, why do you all have to have a serious aura?" Mar suddenly said coming out of nowhere, he appeared on top of a tower of large plastic pipes that were never touched and blocked by bags of sand.
"No more games Mar! I'm ready to battle!" Tyson yelled at him. "So come down here and fight me!"
"Glad to, but first," Mar motioned his head towards another direction. Yugi and Tyson's eyes followed his direction and looked to see hanging by chains from the unfinished buildings of a rail was Hilary.
They all gasped, seeing Hilary's life being put to the top again, they put her in a position that was unsafe like last time. And not just that, but they put her in new clothes as well. She was wearing a Greek-like dress, white and gold, short skirt with golden jewelry. She had only one sleeve wrapped around her shoulder while the other was bare. It was almost unforgivable to see and Yugi's anger grew. She was unconscious of course but that's not what worried him, it was the chains that held her by her wrists, her body could split from her wrists if she's hung their to long. There's no way her wrists can support the weight of her body from hanging there for long.
"So it seems you she's here once again, only she looks a little familiar just like 5,000 years ago. Once she grows her hair out really long then she'll look exactly the same." Marik said coming from the back of the pillars holding the unfinished building up.
"Marik! What the hell is the matter with you?" Yugi yelled at him.
"Nothing really, I'm bringing back some good old memories. And a new fresh Shadow Game for you Atem." Marik chuckled.
"What!? Are you saying that Yugi has to battle you again!?" Max asked him anxiously.
"Not me, the Goddess herself." Marik gestured next to an old technical box where he pulled the lever for the chains to come down slowly with Hilary's body.
"You remember well on how it ended Atem?" Marik asked. "On how you Arriana's life ended shortly in Egypt? Wasn't it true? That you killed her?"
Tyson looked at Yugi, "Did you forget to tell us something again?" he asked being rudely sarcastic.
"Yes Atem, tell them 5,000 years ago how you savagely chopped off Arianna's head." Marik added.
"I was deceived!" Yugi yelled out. "They all told me that she was"-"We were all deceived back then Atem," Marik interrupted.
"But you kept her head, didn't you?" Mar asked him.
Yugi looked at Mar surprise to know of such things. He didn't think anyone knew, unless some archeologist dug up some remains of the of the severed head he had hidden, but he kept the head some place safe for no one to find, now that he thought of it, It was right after he killed himself that he hid the head with the rest of his treasures.
"Yes I did," Yugi answered, "It was right after I hid it that I took my life falling off the balcony of my household. I knew the execution was a mistake, but somehow my followers deceived me, because they didn't appreciate Arianna's closeness with me, and some how a rumor spread that she was an evil being trying to corrupt the kingdom and take over Egypt. Just because she was a Goddess from another God we didn't worship."
"So then, it wasn't your fault?" Ray asked, "It was a misunderstanding?"
"Yes," Yugi answered once again, "A misunderstanding that even the Pharaoh couldn't stop and reason with, because he couldn't deal with the pain and shock that he loved her."
The Bladebreaker's faces were stunned.
"And now she comes back to life, wanting revenge for killing her." Marik went to her and held by his fore finger her chin.
"Don't you touch her?" Yugi yelled at him.
"Relax Atem, I won't do anything to harm her," Marik said still holding her face by her chin.
"But of course, once she wakes nothing will stop her from killing you, when she was unconscious I put old past memories of her old self and you, mixing her new soul up with her older soul, and everything towards you will be grief and pain once she wakes, she'll remember everything of what happened 5,000 years ago."
"No! You didn't! How could you!" Yugi gasped.
"Your fault you didn't tell her first," Marik snapped back letting go of her chin.
Yugi grind his teeth together trying to control his grief and anger together.
"The Rematch with Mar and Tyson shall begin!" and with his millennium rod, Marik's shadow game appeared. Except this time the battle field was different. The area looked like an abandoned Roman battle field; it was like the mix of the Greek coliseum to the abandoned city of Rome in the golden days of Sparta and Troy. The air was dusty but warm like it was in the real world.
Mar and Tyson placed their Beyblades in their launchers and placed their rippers in place. Marik untied to chains on Hilary as she lay against one of the pillars.
"While you two battle, Atem shall start his game as well, in the other battle field." Marik explained to them.
"I don't like how this is going." Max added.
"What choice to them have? I hate the fact I just have to stand here and do nothing." Ray added as well.
"your not the only one." Kai muttered.
Kenny was getting agitated and shaky, "I hope the training Yogi helped Tyson with will work, I just hope nothing bad will happen to Hilary," Kenny mentioned as he got Dizzy ready to record Tyson's rematch.
Ray looked over at Hilary as she laid her unconscious body next to the pillar.

Let it Rip!!
And Mar and Tyson's blade flew from each other with a quick slash, that's when Hilary's eyes opened. Her red ruby eyes were bright and piercing. She got up on her own, Yugi stunned watching her was love struck again.
Marik lead her someplace and Yugi followed for their match to begin. Ray followed along with Kai behind him.
Sorry Tyson, but I need to know what Marik has done to Hilary.
They followed through a stone hall way until they reached out of the tunnel and into a new battle field, that's when Yugi noticed Hilary was standing across from him holding a large sword in her hands.
Ray and Kai noticed as well, unrelieved that the shadow game Marik has made for Yugi was an actual fight.
Marik through a sword to Yugi, the sword landed in the alabaster stone floor, given an axis for Yugi to take the sword by the handle.
"You need that to protect your life Yugi; it's what the game needs." Marik said, he turned around to sit on a clattered chair or at least of what's left of it standing.
"I won't fight her Marik!" Yugi yelled at him.
"That's too bad, because she will, Game Start!" Marik yelled out, by the blow of his voice Hilary started to dash up to Yugi swipe the sword through his shoulder, but quickly Yugi dodged it and backed away from her.
"I won't fight you Hilary!" Yugi said to her.
Ray and Kai backed away from Hilary and Yugi, giving them space, and at the same time to watch the match. They weren't sure on how this battle would end up, but whatever Marik did, they both wanted to fumble him down for it.
"Hilary listens to me!" Yugi tried to consult with her.
Hilary slashed her sword forward and stabbed Yugi in the shoulder.
"Arrrrrgggghhhh!" Yugi's cry of pain was amusing to Marik.
Yugi pushed the sword out his way and shoved Hilary to the ground, and then he jumped on top of her trying to rid of the sword in her hand.
"Hilary! It's me Yugi!" He yelled in her face.
But she didn't listen, her feet kicked off at Yugi and swamped back to the floor. Soon he got up, and quickly shoved off his leather jacket he wore from last night's battle, all he had now was a black tank top with a bleeding shoulder.
Hilary dashed to Yugi and swings her sword again, but Yugi rolled to the side and got up to run over to get the sword stuck in the alabaster stone. Once he took the handle, the sword was out and Clank! Both swords of Yugi and Hilary are met, blocking each other from another attack. Then they shoved each other back to rid the tangle of the swords.
"Hilary! I know your in there somewhere, fight it!" Yugi consulted to her again, but she didn't hear it. She did a with one hand on the floor a cart wheel that flipped her way towards him in the air and pointing her sword down stabbed right through the side of Yugi's leg but quickly Yugi moved so it was just a scrape.
"Why did her mother assigned her gymnastics?" Yugi muttered to himself.
Mean while, Tyson and Mar's battle was going on and off from the stress and blood shed. Max and Kenny were having a hard time watching, but they held in cheering Tyson on every time he gets slashed and scraped. The battle seemed to go on lingering for quit sometime, so Tyson didn't have a choice.
"Dragoon! Come out and fight!" Tyson summoned and then out a stormy static of his blade, the blue Dragon cam swarming out with its long slender body beautifying the warm air and battle field. Dragoon was larger then before, his long knife-like claws were longer then before and he was much more fiery then usual.
Tyson covered in blood by his cheeks grinned, but soon turned to a frown when Mar started laughing.
"Finally! Finally!" Mar laughed out hysterically.
"Quit laughing!" Tyson yelled at him and soon Dragoon slashed the side of Mar's blade, then a large crack on the side of Mar's tattooed face appeared.
"What!? His face cracked!" Max gasped.
Then Mar's blue hair suddenly rose changing to white, his silver eyes glistened to yellow as his beyblade started to glow.
"Now the real fun begins!" he muttered and then he screamed out in what felt like peril at the same his bit beast sprung out of his blade, this bit beast had a very dark aura to it, and not just that but ink sprung out of Mar's beyblade. His bit beast was a shape and form of what looked like a tar-like person, then its face appeared, the tar melting away its head, and only its head.
"Oh my god!" Max yelled out from the scary face of the Bit Beast.
Mar's bit beast had a face of a person, except the fact it was missing a jaw, its black tongue held out and its upper teeth were long and pointy. Its eyes were shaped like an Egyptian except the color was red and silver pupils that stood out piercing the eyes of anyone who looked into it. Its face was pale and its nose, half of it was missing.
"What is that!?" Tyson said disgusted and disturbed.
"My bit beast, and it's hungry like me, the real battle begins here Tyson!" Mar yelled and then the ground under them felt like it was swooping up by the wind, the small rocks and pebbled rose up high and the wind came from under the ground's cracks, blowing below the Bladers feet. This was hard, id Dragoon gets stuck in those small whirl winds, and he'll lose completely.
Yugi couldn't handle running and dodging Hilary's attacks, he got stabbed more times and shouldn't be standing but he still kept on standing up, knowing Hilary felt and looked emotionless, he tried talking to her, and no way of life was left her but as a zombie being under control.
Yugi stood panting and Ray couldn't find any ideas of how Yugi can beat her without hurting her. He felt useless as much as Kai felt as well.
The pain that Hilary inflicted on him with her stabs was more painful in his emotions then physically. He could feel himself drowning in a clack and blue water, running out of ideas of helping and stopping her. He could find himself sinking down deeper, and he held a naked Hilary on top of him, an unconscious naked Hilary, not able to wake up, and all he could do is cry.
Hilary dashed up to Yugi, faster then she was before and swung the blade to Yugi's blade, making the impact blow hurt and Yugi let go of the blade and it fell to the ground. Yugi backed away carrying a bloody fist.
That's when Ray jumped in and took the sword, "Hilary it's me! Ray!" he consulted with her, "I'm your friend, remember you helped me in a beybattle once and made up exercising games for me to focus on, you made up an idea for me to control Drigger once, and don't you remember?"
She didn't answer.
"Then come at me then, kill me if it makes you feel better!" Ray insisted.
"Ray, you idiot!" Kai yelled a few feet behind him.
That's when she took his word and went after him, Hilary swung her blade in the air to cut Ray's head off but Yugi took her around the waist and pushed both him and her to the side, stopping her. He took her sword and threw it afar. She tried to punch him through but he locked her arms out for her not to move. He was on top of her again, looking in her eyes.
Yugi? Wait, why is he crying?
Hilary scraped the side of her hand under Yugi's chin, pushing him off of her. She stood up and jumped towards the sword Yugi threw. Yugi was lying on the ground, about to give up, and as she ran to stab him through, Yugi had felt the sense of loss overcoming him now.
"Yugi! Get up!" Ray yelled out to him.
But Yugi didn't listen, she ran on top of him and about to stab the sword through his throat, she stopped.
Wait, why is Yugi hurt, did he do something he shouldn't have? He's bleeding.
Hilary dropped the sword and places her hand on Yugi's bleeding shoulder. She looked at her hand full of blood and placed her hand on her face where an imprint of blood layed on the side of her face.
"Do you know how to solve this game Hilary?" Yugi asked her watching behind her should solve a puzzle game.
"I think so, watch me! I'm gonna finish really fast!" her nine year old self said to him.
"Mutou Sensei, why are you leaving?" her eleven year old self asked when she was sitting in bed, Yugi sitting on her bed side.
"Your going on to Junior High now, you don't need someone like me to teach you anymore, you know everything now." He said.
"No! I don't know everything! I want you to stay!" she jumped in his lap, wrapping her arms around him.
"I know, I know." He said wrapping his arms around her, he kissed her forehead and sat there with her holding her for the rest of the night.
"Yu...gi" Hilary tried to say.
Yugi's face turned to be relieved with tears.
Hilary started crying, "Atem, I forgot to tell you, before you executed me, I forgot to tell you….." Yugi tried to sat up from his position has Hilary clanged on his chest, "I forgot to tell you, that I was going to have your…child."
Then she placed her hands on his cheeks, his stunned face in shock, but she ignored it.
Yugi, your always doing great things for me, maybe it's time I do the same.
She leaned in, her lips slowly pressing against his; it was a slow but relieved moment. Just for him to know she was still there. Her kiss was relieving for him, and magical like it was 5,000 years ago. He kissed her back feeling the rushing pleasure she had hidden inside and suddenly was brought out. He held her head in place for him to take over so cleanly, and all that mattered there was her alone.
Ray dropped the sword sulking at the scene. His moment of trying to know her was ruined, and Yugi knew he was starting to crush on her, Yugi knew all of them were. Not just Ray, but Kai, Tyson and Max. All of them falling for the same woman.
Kai stared down at the scene angry and frustrated, his hands clenched into fists furiously. He wanted to break it apart, but couldn't somehow it would just make himself feel worse.
Yugi had won the battle, and Hilary was back to normal, or at least parts of herself were. But now Tyson's battle still remained left hanging. Somehow Tyson felt the gaping feeling of Ray and Kai's loss, he didn't know how, but once he felt it, Mar's blade swung through Dragoon, then like an invisible punch, Tyson gaped out blood out of his mouth, and then was more blood came out from his back, his yellow shirt was now stained of large spots of blood.
To Tyson, it was like the end.
