Chapter 25 : A Great Escape

As Yuko descended down into the heart of the prison, he was surprised to find that there were no security guards around.

"There watch guard probably fell asleep", thought Yuko, a little relieved.

He reached for the instructions from his back pocket, allowing his hand to brush gently against the soft, fluffy fur of the Scape goats and read the next objective.

- Lower down to the 7th floor and find Zane-

Yuko looked around and counted the floor numbers, eventually reaching the 7th floor and hopped quietly off the Scape goats on to a grey concrete bridge, which was center in the middle of the giant prison, with several other bridges below him.

He decided to keep the Scape goats activated in case he need to make a quick get away and slowly began tiptoeing around the floor so to find some indication of Zane's prison cell.

After 10 minutes, Yuko was about to start searching on the floor above him when he heard a whisper.

"Psst. Over here".

He spun round and found a hand waving through some bars and so he started lightly jog towards the whisper, the goats now following him closely.

When he arrived, Yuko noticed a dark figure standing tall behind the cell bars, wearing rather damaged, street clothes. Yuko shone his torched and recognized that it was the criminal's cold eyes and pale face, Zane Truesdale.

"Took you long enough", complained Zane, and Yuko huffed as he reached out for the instructions, but was stopped by Zane's tight grip.

"The last instructions say to do exactly what I now tell you to do!" he commanded, and Yuko nodded quiveringly. "Good. Now I want you summon Detonator Dragon to explode the bars that I'm standing behind", he ordered and decided to stand back.

Yuko took a deep breath and reached out for the card.

He took a few steps back and summoned it quickly causing a bright light to flash, which awoke a few prisoners.

"Detonator Dragon! I want you to blow up those bars", yelled Yuko and the dragon flew down and dropped a rather large round bomb, which immediately exploded, causing the bars to break and fire to burst out from the explosion.

The floor vibrated from the shock and the prison alarm started to ring, loudly in Yuko's ears.

Zane jumped over the fire and grabbed on to Yuko's jumper, almost causing him to tripped. He then noticed the scape goats hovering a few feet away from where was he was standing and chucked Yuko over to them. The goats caught Yuko and Zane followed, landing on top of Yuko, causing him to grunt in pain.

As the security guards began to flood the bottom floor, Zane ordered the goats to rise out of the opening and they began floated up slowly (since carrying 2 people was pretty heavy).

Zane then stood up casually and let Yuko out from under him, who sat up and rubbed his back in agony. He noticed the security guards closing in as they climb up the stairs, while the ones holding guns began to take aim. There was a lot of shouting and yelling building up from the prisoners in their prison cells, and all of a sudden a warning shot was fired from one of the security guards, almost catching Zane off balance (who was standing on his two feet with his arms crossed, so to give Yuko some space to sit).

Yuko began to heavily breath, afraid of getting shot any time soon, but could tell from Zane's indifferent expression that he didn't care about the guns, and was only mildly agitated at the slow speed which the Scape goats were rising.

"Hold it right there!" yelled a booming voice from one of the security chiefs, which Yuko assumed was Armstrong. "You are assisting in the escape of a dangerous criminal. If you don't stop now, we will arrest you and you will be sentenced for imprisonment!"

Zane turned to Yuko. "Do not listen to these bastards. The police will arrested you either way", he said grumpily.

The security police began to slowly catch up as they sprinted up the stairs towards Yuko, and a few seconds later, he once again heard the chief's booming voice. "You were warned..."

Suddenly, Yuko could hear the crackling sounds of guns open fire, but to his surprise, the Scape goats deflected the bullets away as they bounced off their skin. Yuko laughed nervously, shaking at the fact that he was being fired upon and quickly reached for his deck to look for any protective support.

He gasped a sigh of relief to find "Shield Wing" and quickly summoned it on to his duel disk. After a flash of light, out of the card came two long, diamond covered wings that wrapped around Yuko and Zane, and a small skinny green dragon came forth, cocooning both itself and it's master (Zane included)

He couldn't help, but notice Zane smirk at Yuko discreetly, causing Yuko to grin lightly as he wiped the sweat that was now dripping from his forehead.

Yuko and Zane were almost out through the exit in the window, when Zane noticed the window starting to get covered by a layer of a thick steel wall, blocking the way out of this prison and keeping both him and Yuko from escaping.

Zane glared at it. "They can be so provocative sometimes", snarled Zane, and reach down into his shoe, pulling out a card (nearly falling off the Scapegoats), while the bullets continued to fire at them, making collision sounds as they smashed against Shield Wings protective wings.

"Hang in there buddy", encouraged Yuko to his monster, and found Zane holding out a card in front of him which read "Rocket Pilder".

"Activate it so that we can blast a hole in that barrier", shouted Zane and Yuko instinctively nodded, not properly understanding why he need to activate it.

Yuko placed it on his duel disk and a rocket instantly shot out from the card, being directed by Zane as he pointed it over to the steel wall above them.

The rocket streamed towards the wall and exploded as it collided, causing the steel layer to erupt and fall apart, shard hitting the guards who had lessened the shooting since they were now out of range. Yuko looked up and was surprised when he noticed that the rocket had blasted a huge hole in the broken steel wall.

"Not a bad hit!" complimented Zane proudly, as the Scape goats made it through the opening, slowly exiting the prison facility. Yuko felt a light breeze of cold wind brush against his hair and began to breath the midnight fresh air. He then sighed and collapsed on to his back while Zane directed the Scapegoats towards the Arcadia, carrying the two with them.

It had all been too much for Yuko. He had planned on breaking Zane out of prison discreetly, but it didn't matter anymore. Yuko had completed his mission, and slowly closed his eyes, allowing his now fainted body to rest, and hoping that when he woke up, he'd be back in the comfort of Yusei's home.
