Chapter 13: on the wrong track
ANUS POV…
We were all gathered on a platform in front of a train, I remembered when these things were invented and every one was putting down the tracks, I shook my head, now was no time to indulge into my past lives.
The other master held me by a leash, at least I didn't have to wear a muzzle, that thing was horrible. The nice smelling girl was asking how long the train ride would be, the blonde boy standing next to her said
"To long" it came out like a sigh
Next to him was the food smelling boy. They were facing the dice boy who was staying behind to watch the professor and the smart blonde. We were heading to…Florida? Or something like that to look at the ruins on Atlantis that Narcissi may have put away to destroy them.
"Dukes right" said the food smelling boy and I turned back to the conversation I had missed. "Plus I have got to keep an eye on Rebecca to" he joked
Ah yes the little smart blind was a child after all no matter how smart, she had been upset she could not come with us. While they were telling us to get on I felt the other master tense up next to me.
I looked up and saw his eyes were narrowed in pain and I noticed the nice smelling girl was watching him, so I wasn't the only one who…
My thoughts were cut off when a whistle went of and the others picked up their things. I followed the master as we entered the train. It was much more modern then last time I had ridden a train.
When the others were waving at the dice boy and then talking about food I noticed the nice smelling girl glance at the other master, she was worried about him too it seemed.
We found our seats on the train and after the two bottomless pits got their food, I lay down on my masters and the nice smelling girl's feet after she took me leash of. The nice smelling girl was watching the pharaoh closely, not that I could blame her, I to was watching him closely. He seemed so in thought that he noticed nothing going on around.
The nice smelling girl began to ramble to try and get him to enjoy a conversation. When that didn't work she took on a determined voice and said
"Come one you got to cheer up, I promise we'll get Yugi back, but in the mean time you can't just sit around moping."
She was right and I think he knew it to because his eyes looked a little more focused in.
"It might feel better to talk about it. We could even come up with a plan together."
The other master sighed and stood up; I got up quickly so he could move out of the little seats.
"Sorry Tea" he sounded frustrated
He walked off with me following him down to the other end of the train. Before he closed the door into the little room between the cars, I slipped in unnoticed.
YAMIS POV
I stood in the passage way between box cars, staring out the window at the passing rock faces. It was rude of me to walk away annoyed with Tea, she was only trying to help me, but I was to mad at myself to realize my actions till they were already out of my mouth.
"I could I have been so selfish, I gave in to the darkness with in my heart, and Yugi paid the price."
I thought remembering was I had done. When I had first come to life with the puzzle again, I did things very similar to this because I was mad at the world and I didn't understand why I was locked in that little golden box. I just knew however I had to protect that little boy and his friends from people because he had set me free and I owed him that much.
But then his kindness he showed other people began to affect me as I watched his world threw the puzzle. How he would treat people with kindness even if they did not deserve it.
The only one I concluded was nice to him from the beginning had been the female, Tea; she was his protector, till I came along and took he place as Yugi's guardian. I had always wondered if she resented me for taking her spot, but she befriended me as if it had never happened.
If I had still been like I was before, what I had done would not have bothered me so much, but this was the problem with being a good guy, it gets under your skin.
I growled as the memory kept playing over and over again in my head, I punched the wall in anguish then grabbed the puzzle as I felt its dark pull, was I becoming dark once again, would I succumb to literally being Yami.
I slid down the wall and said "I've lost him forever"
I felt something nudge my hand and my head shot up to see the bright blue eyes of Anu. She was looking at me with such sadness and understanding that I couldn't help but reach out to her and pet her back as she lay on my lap.
She whined as if to argue with was I had just said and poked the puzzle with her nose, and then nuzzled my stomach with her head. I sighed and leaned my head back as I softly cried with Anu.
Anu had her eyes closed as I watched her as her nose twitched and she suddenly gave of a growl. I blinked as her head shot up and she jumped around smelling the room, the glowing marks under eyes appeared over he husky fur as her ears went back and her hair stood on end.
She began to scratch at the door and I sat up and opened it for her, we walked down our cart as I noticed no one was there, and I meant not just my friends. Speaking of Which Tea and the others just walked up as Anu kept growling at the area.
"There you are" she said
"Incase you hadn't noticed something weird is going on" Joey said
"If you ask me, I say this whole train ride is another trap, it would explain Anu's behavior"
We all glanced down at Anu, who had her hackles raised; her hair on end, teeth bared and ears back, a deep growl illuminated from her throat.
"I am sure those same slime-balls are behind this and I bet their on board." Joey said in anger.
"What are we standing here for, lets get them" Tristan said
That was all I needed, these people were not going to take another one of my friend's souls. I turned around and ran back the way I had just come, the others following me. As soon as I stepped on to the metal connecting the cars, it groaned and moved. I heard metal snap and glanced back to see Tea and the others had been stopped by the now separated cars.
Tea was the closes thing I had to light and I was not going to let that little light I had left slip from me.
"Grab me hand" I yelling holding it out knowing she was going to half to jump across. "Trust me" I whispered in mind.
She took a breath and jumped as I grabbed her pulling her into the car safely. I stared at her for a minute, relieved she had trust me enough to jump across moving cars. I held on to her as I heard Tristan call out.
I looked at the cars that were now separated further; Joey Tristan and Anu were standing there. I held securely onto Tea by still grabbing her hand and wrapping the other arm around her waist.
"Pharaoh Tea, what do we do now?"
I let go of Tea and yelled back
"get Help" I said this because I knew there train would stop first, where they were going to get help was beyond me."
"Come on" Tea said I could hear the panic in her voice "we need to find a way to stop this train." I nodded and we took off.
ANUS POV…
"Hey were slowing down" I heard the food smelling boy say over the screech of metal meeting metal.
This was not good, the part of the train with my other master on it was getting farther and farther way, how was I suppose to catch up with them now.
"There's a problem" I heard the blonde say; I had missed part of there conversation it seemed "were in the middle of know where. We don't even know where those two are going to end up."
"Bye guys hang in there" the blonde said and I knew what I had to do. I growled then took off down the tracks; I heard the two calling out to me.
"Whoa, Anu sit, heal, stay, stop," I ignored them as I followed the train tracks to my other master. This was going to be the longest run, I ever been on.
YAMIS POV…
Tea and I walked threw the cars, she tried calling the train driver but it seemed even they were gone, which made me wonder who was driving the train. She shook her head at me I realized what we had to do.
I ran out to the connecting cars and ran to the edge railing looking out at the front of the train as Tea asked what I was doing. The strong wind hurt my eyes and blew my hair in a wild way but I tried to see the front of the train.
"I've got to get in their, so I can stop this train."
"But how" she asked me as I walked back to the door.
"I have an idea, there maybe an emergence hatch on the roof" I said as I climbed the latter leading to the roof, while else would it be there if that was not what it was for.
"Be careful" I heard her say as I climbed.
As I reached the top, the fast paced winds hurt my eyes, I heard a laugh, a high pitch annoying laugh I knew all to well and despised.
"Weevil Underwood" I said annoyed, I knew I should have let Anu bite him.
"Are you behind this" I said "you better start explaining your self" I stood on the train, my arms trying to balance my self.
I heard Tea grunt as she to climb up the stairs. She added her own comment to the situation as the bug obsessed boy finally answered
"What do you think I want a rematch with the king of games" he said
"are you nuts" Tea asked as I narrowed my eyes, something wasn't right here"
"I am just in the mood for a friendly duel" he said in false kindness.
"Weevil, who put you up to this"
He did his annoying laugh I hated so much and said
"No one did, I thought it would be a good time to test out my secrete weapon that's all" he said reaching into his pocket.
He pulled out something in his hand and it glowed, my eyes widened at the Orichalcos stone in his hand.
"You've been brain washed Weevil" I said as I noticed the train picking up speed.
"Wake up" Tea yelled "those guys are just using you"
"Who cares" he said which really didn't surprise me "as long as I have ultimate power?"
"You're wrong" I said
"Then just duel me" he said, a crazed gleam in his eye.
I was taller then him and probably stronger to, if physical force was what I needed, but I really didn't want to fight some kid on top of a train.
"Wait a minute" Tea said as she climbed on top of the train with us.
"Tea, no, it's to dangerous"
She seemed to be ignoring me and that stung a little. All though I did ignore her earlier
"Weevil" she said "don't you realize if you go through with this duel one of you guys is going to lose your soul forever"
"Tea" I said, did she think I was considering dueling on top of a train with the Orichalcos, I did actually settle a lot of things with a duel, now that I think about it. She said one of us, did she not have confidence in my abilities, and now that I think about it, I didn't even have confidence in my abilities.
"Of course I do" he said "that's the whole reason I am here, to make him pay" he pointed at me "by sealing him away"
I gasped and thought bitterly, what with the whole damn world trying to seal my soul away.
"No" I said.
"Don't worry soon, you will be locked away with your friend Yugi pharaoh" he laughed
Great did every one know I existed in side of Yugi now?
"Where is he, tell me" I said angrily, this might have been to first clue we needed to find Yugi.
"I am afraid the only way to find out is duel me. So if you back out now you won't be able to see that little twerp again"
What he was saying was making me want to duel him, that or beat him from an inch…no. I stopped my thoughts there, I was not a dark violent person any more, but I was becoming one.
"Very well" I growled "then let's duel"
He laughed and help up his duel disk arm
"Wise choice Pharaoh."
ANUS POV…
I stopped running when I felt like my tail had been zapped; I yelped and looked back the way I came. I could see a green light on the horizon light. So someone had played the card with the others. I was torn, should I go back and be support for them or continue running. What if someone had played it with my master to?
I felt a pull at my legs to go forward and I continued running, or would have if not for a few growls and snickers around me.
I looked up at some of the rocks and saw desert colored fur. Great, the American Jackal.
"Look here, I little house pet all alone, what you doing off your leash pet" said one.
The other dog had large pointed ears, long legs and a lean body, a tail that looked like a fox. There fur was the color of the desert grass and sand, with a few grey spots on their backs.
"Back off, coyotes" I growled as my hair and hackles raised.
"So the little house pet has a bite" another said circling around me.
I realized I must have walked near their den or something because that would be the only reason I could see for them to circle me like that.
I had to be ready, I had 10000 years worth of fighting experience on them, but there were more of them then me. I closed my eyes, if this was an obstacle to get to my masters then so be. What they didn't realize I was actually a wolf, and when you back a wolf into a corner, it's going to fight back.
My eyes snapped open and I let out a fierce growl as one of them came charging at me. I turned to him and sunk my teeth into its shoulder and brought it down on to another one that had been charging at me.
The fight was on.
From that point on, there were bights and growls and snarls, fur flying. One had grabbed on to my harness, tearing it.
I shook my fur loose and glanced around me. Most of us were hurt and bloody, if I could find the leader, I could take him out then run…no wait if I did that they would become my pack and I didn't need that.
I noticed what must have been the leader walking to me. He looked around at his fallen pack then me. I knew I had blood on my snout and an angry look in my eyes. He must have seen the wolf in my eyes for he growled at the others to back down.
"Forgive us hunter, continue with your search" he said as I walked forward warily. Once I was past them I ran down the tracks again, more slowly and with a limp. This was going to take longer than I thought.
YAMIS POV…
Weevil had just infected my Celtic Guardian when I felt a stab of pain, what was that. I looked back a Tea then at the duel, I couldn't worry about the now pulsing pain in different parts of my body later, but for some reason my thigh felt like it was on fire and need to limp to remove the weight.
"You're only half the duelist I remember" he taunted me "is that because you lost your other half."
This fool had know idea what would happen to a dark person by birth when they lose their light, they become dark, and this idiot was pushing all the right buttons. Also that laugh was really grating on my nerves.
Weevil played another one of his wasps, whose eyes glowed as he powered up with the seal.
"My only monster has been infected with his parasite caterpillar" I thought "that means it is no longer able to defend my life points."
Weevil commanded his monster to attack and it flew to my side of the field. It stung me and my life points dropped from 4000.
"You ok" Tea asked me.
I didn't get a chance to answer for Weevil continued.
"That's not all; attacking you directly means I activate his special ability which means my wasp allows me to summon any insect monster in my deck directly to the field. And I know just who I am going to chose."
He pulled out his deck and began searching for it.
"I summon a beast know as legume" this knew centipede had 300 attack points which rose to 800 with the seal in play.
"Then I will active the magic card insect barrier" he played the card then laughed and said "this barricade provides the perfect protection against any insects monster you try and attack with."
I stared at the card; I had no insect monsters, what he was planning. Tea was also confused and said they same thing I had been thinking.
"That's not true" said Weevil. "Take a closer look at the field Tea, your Celtic guardian has been contaminated by my parasite, which makes him part insect."
"No" I said in horror.
"He's slowly transforming into a new creature known as poisoned butterfly and even though it has 2,700 attack points, it can't hurt me thanks to my insect barrier and since it can't attack or defend its virtually useless" he then laughed.
That laugh was really starting to grate on my nerves, along with the strange stabs of pain I was getting.
"Weevils a much stronger duelist then I remembers" I thought "now that he is infused with the power of the Orichalcos he seems unstoppable, but I refuse to let him stand in the way of rescuing Yugi"
I didn't show it but it felt strange being the only on in my head, not having Yugi thinking along side me.
"Alright" said out loud drawing a card "my move"
ANUS POV…
I was running still, the other train not in sight when I heard a voice, a voice I knew to well, he was laughing, which was never good. It seemed to becoming from every where at once. Was I on sacred ground or something? Or did he just like opening up our old connection.
"Soon the soul of the pharaoh will be in my grasp; after all we have the perfect bait"
He laughed again as I ran harder now, ignoring the pain in my leg, I howled, hoping praying someone would help us.
