A/N-OMG!Thank you for all the reviews! I'll be posting a chapter on Friday (My birthday:)!Just for you guys!
Chapter 14: The Return of the Animal
Marik's POV
"Leroy," Carter groaned. I gave Sadie a strange look.
"The Set Animal. My brother named him Leroy," Sadie explained.
I nodded. Sometimes, these two made no sense at all. Leroy attacked the first row of initiates, which was Sadie, Carter, Pharaoh, Paul, and I. Sadie hurriedly put up a defensive wall of energy.
"I thought we were on good terms with Set," I heard Sadie tell her brother.
"I thought the gods receded," replied Carter. The beast launched another attack, and this time it was me who deflected it. My khopesh was encased in a golden armor, and the Set Animal screeched in a very high pitched scream as my khopesh hit his leg. The beast turned around, and riding on his back was a male with pure white hair which stuck up out everywhere. It was much similar to my own, except much more wild. His deep brown eyes narrowed at the Pharaoh, who stiffened.
"Bakura!" Pharaoh Atem yelled up at the figure.
"How nice to see you again, Pharaoh," Bakura replied calmly. "Do you like my new pet? It was rather hard to get, but it is now under my control. Although, it would like to be free. To bad."
"Heartless Thief! How dare you enter a place of learning?" Pharaoh Atem replied.
"Now, if I was not heartless, how would I get my Landlord on my side? And I have entered many 'places of learning' with intent to kill. You should know that," the Thief King replied.
"Where is Ryou?" Yugi demanded.
"In, ah, safe hands with the other magicians," Bakura replied, smirking.
The Set Animal attacked again, but this time the Animal threw Bakura free. The Animal ran out of the broken door and disappeared as soon as it left the door. Bakura glared at the animal running away, then turned to meet the group of magicians.
"Hp! Didn't need that stupid creature anyway," Bakura sighed.
"Now what?" I heard Felix tell my sister. They had grown quite close in the last day.
"Now I fight you!" Bakura yelled, as he must of heard the cold magician. A gold encasing swirled around the Thief King. He drew a khopesh, which was also encased in the golden figure of the avatar.
Carter responded by doing the same with khopesh drawn. The two met with their swords shooting sparks. The rest of the group of initiates joined in. Felix summoned a giant penguin. Paul summoned his avatar and went to aid his teacher in his fight. Shelby turned a blue crayon into a spear and tried to throw it at Bakura. Yugi started a spell with his partner, and I summoned the blue armor encasing. I ran behind the King and sent a signal up to Carter, who was over 10 feet taller than me. I stuck my sword into Bakura's ankle. He whipped around and tried to hit me, but Carter took the opportunity when he was off-balance to hit hit with the side of his blade. I think he understood that we needed information out of him. Still, it was rather risky. Bakura was a master escape artist. He knew all the tricks of the trade, and many more, but it was a risk we had to take.
"This isn't over!" the thief king hissed, standing. Carter must not of hit him hard enough to knock him out, but it was still enough to make him retreat. The king's form slowly turned to dust, and he was gone.
A/N-This is one without a cliffhanger! 0_0 Is that good or bad? PLEASE REVIEW!
