Youngbountygirl: Now, we get to see Yugi and Tea actually fighting off vampires. One of the things I think Twilight should've added was Bella fighting off vampires. I mean she doesn't have to follow the "tough girls don't need no guys" cliché. I mean Katniss is tough, but still suffers hardship and curtain weaknesses. I mean this is a vampire movie! With every vampire fan fic, I'd like to use it to its very advantage and one of them being having good vampire fights. There won't be a lot of fights, because this isn't Slade, but there will be plenty of fights. So... enjoy our first fights with vampires! XD
Aqua Girl 007: I agree. Besides, some of my favourite vampire movies are things like Blade because of the fights. Though, the battle in this chapter is going to get bloody. But anyways, here's the next chapter.
Yugi and Joey did eventually return home to catch up on some sleep. Yugi couldn't stop dreaming about the legend he heard at the bonfire. He began seeing thousands of vampires attacking werewolves of different kinds, trying to kill one another. Every vampire and werewolf were being killed one by one in a number of ways than just one. The human volunteers would use their weapons like knives, slice shooters (a gun that shoots out a wired rope with a sharp arrow head that stays clamped inside the vampire's neck, once shot, to drag it around before cutting the head), and other weapons.
Yugi was riding on Joey, like usual, and guiding him through the forest. The speed was so quick, it would be hard for anyone to focus on anything. Joey was able to stop at one point before pouncing on one vampire and Yugi stabbing it right through the eye, blood spurting out like a hole in the hose. Joey used his muzzle to snap the head right off the body as more blood gushed all over the ground.
Yugi used the sleeve of his jacket to wipe the blood splattered on his face. He shoved the knife back into his boot. When human volunteers fight vampires, they were required to wear tight boots, leather pants tucked under the boots with sailor socks covering the hose of the pants, tight belt around the pants, black shirt tucked inside the pants, tight leather gloves, and a leather jacket tightly buttoned from the neck down. This clothing was required for several safety reasons of human contact with blood and preventing it from spreading it through families. This clothing was also required to be washed in bleach right after the fights.
Joey began dashing through the trees as Yugi kept his eyes furrowed with deep focus. He did his usual methods: guiding Joey through the trees, hanging on when Joey killed a vampire, and help kill Joey's prey. Every human volunteer was never allowed to leave their steed unless it was absolutely necessary. Yugi was completely fine and felt extra safe in this matter. There wasn't really anything difficult he had to do. Just kill whatever Joey is trying to kill.
A vampire just so happened to attack Yugi from the side, pinning him to the ground. He didn't hesitate to push the vampire, by the neck, head away from his neck and body. Yugi was able to take a good hold of the head and twist it, the body falling on him before Joey used his muzzle to snap it off, blood gushing all over the ground. Yugi quickly got back on his friend.
"That was too close," Yugi sighed in relief. He heard a noise from the distance that sounded like Yami in pain. "I hear Yami, but what is he doing on Marik's territory?"
Joey rushed over to where Yugi heard Yami's voice. Yugi witnessed his brother wrestling with another vampire, who just bit him very close to the neck. Yami screamed in dire pain as Yugi stood there helplessly, not knowing any idea that would come to mind to help his brother.
Joey growled very angrily before running and pouncing onto the attacker. Yugi jumped off of Joey and ran to his wounded brother to stop the bleeding.
"Yami, hang on there," Yugi whispered, putting his hands over the bitten area.
"Yugi," Yami coughed, placing two of his hands on Yugi's, which were trying to stop the bleeding.
Yugi looked over at Joey's battle against the vile creature. Joey was on his hind legs, his front paws trying to grasp a hold of the vampire to pin him to the tree. Yugi watched there almost helplessly, feeling guilty he couldn't help his friend. Yami needs him! It seemed that Joey was struggling fighting this one, despite the vampire being uncontrollable and untalented. Yugi felt he couldn't do anything at all.
The vampire suddenly pinned Joey to the ground, finding a good hold to bite and kill him. Yugi's grip on Yami's wound tightened and tears were starting to spring out of his eyes in helplessness and anger. Yugi quickly stripped off his jacket to cover Yami's wound.
"Hold!" Yugi commanded Yami, who looked at his brother with such shock. Yugi didn't hesitate to rip the knife from his boot before running to the vampire, who was about to take a bite of Joey. "YOU EAT THIS!" Yugi shot the knife right into his stomach, ripping every part of his skin with contents of blood pouring out like a river.
"YUGI DON'T!" Yugi heard Yami shouted as he watched his only family member fall onto the ground face-forward with blood gushing onto the ground, eyes wide open and breath trembling. Yugi felt the intense pain in his stomach that felt like something just ripped out of his body and darkness was befalling him. He couldn't even notice the sweat on his brow.
Due to the amount of Yugi's blood spilt, the creature became too distracted in thirst and began running toward Yugi, but not before Joey pounced on him and ripped the head off its body. Joey changed into his human form, wearing his birthday suit, but he didn't care. He picked up his small friend, who could hardly catch his breath.
"Yugi, don't die on me man, please!" Joey cried out, trying to hold back his tears.
"Th-The third... wife," Yugi whispered before his eyes closed and became limped.
Yugi shot his body straight up from the bed, his two arms around his stomach while panting heavily. Once realizing that it was all a dream, he sighed deeply in relief. Yugi slowly laid back in bed on his side, still thinking over about the nightmare he had. His eyes were open and he was staring at the wall in front of him before slowly drifting to sleep. Luckily, Yugi didn't have another dream like that.
Yugi woke up the next day, his roommate still asleep, and walked into the Living Room. He took out his cell phone and dialed Yami's number. He just had to hear his brother's voice and knew Yami was up at this time of day. Yugi laid on the couch, hearing the rings from the other phone, waiting for Yami to pick up. He finally did.
"Hey Yugi," Yami called. "How was the bonfire?"
"Great! We had fun. The legends about the werewolves and their start was very interesting," Yugi replied. He told Yami about the legend of the Werewolves, Shada, Akefia, Akefia's fight against Atem, and his third wife's sacrifice.
"Wow, that's really brutal. I hope it didn't give you nightmares."
"Like they're any different than the amount of violence I deal with on a regular basis."
"You had a nightmare from it, didn't ya? I can read your mind, Yugi."
"We're not even that close to your rang, Mr. Edward Cullen!"
"I don't need to be for you."
Yugi sighed, then admitted, "I did have a dream about it, but just one part of the story."
"You watch way too many gore. Why don't you go and watch some less violent shows?"
"Shut up!"
"Co'mon Yugi, you know I'm just messing with ya!"
"Yeah, but my dream was about me stabbing a knife into my stomach to distract a vampire from killing Joey and you watched it with your own eyes. You don't exactly have any room to tease about that!"
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Really Yugi, you've been having these nightmares since you started volunteering as a vampire hunter."
"I know. I wish these nightmares would stop. I'm already stressing out over killing things that were once called human beings. How can Marik even look at himself in the mirror?"
"Calm down, Yugi. You're not showing any signs of PTSD yet."
"I know. I still feel really stressed and guilty."
"I know... Yugi."
"Hm?"
"I'm glad you called. I really miss you to death."
"I do too. It's not fair you have to go! I wish I was younger, so I can still stay with you. I know Mokuba has that excuse to stay with his brother."
"Yugi... you seriously wish you were 12?"
"No... but I want to see ya. I miss you so much!"
"I miss you too. If I could, I would run to your apartment and tickle you right now."
"Fat chance."
Yami and Yugi laughed at the thought, then Yugi began wishing that Yami could do that. Just seeing Yami's smiling face and and feeling Yami's cold embrace already made Yugi feel warm inside. All he wanted was just to see his brother again and have their tickle fight. Yami was the world to Yugi, a piece of happiness he had left. The one that kept Yugi still alive.
"Is something wrong Yugi? You paused," Yami asked over the phone.
"I'm fine. I want you to know Yami... how much you mean to me."
"It's okay, Yugi. I promise after this is over, I will come right down and give you that tickle fight you so desperately want."
"Shut up," Yugi replied rolling his eyes as Yami chuckled. The door opened, revealing Rebecka, who noticed Yugi was on the phone. He sat up on the couch, giving the girl a smile and nod. "Sorry Yami, I gotta go."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too. Bye," Yugi said before he hung up.
"Joey needs to start his patrol pronto!" Rebecka said.
"I'll get him up," Yugi said. He walked into Joey's room where Joey was sleeping, half of the covers covering his naked body with only his briefs showing. Yugi shook his friend. "Co'mon Joey, time to patrol."
Joey moaned, turning on his other side, as Yugi walked to the door, then slammed his body against it shut like he was being under attack before Joey jumped from the bed and changed into his wolf form, ripping off his briefs. Yugi smirked with folded arms as Joey transformed into his human form with blush on his cheeks.
"Glad to see you're finally awake. Rebecka says we need to patrol," Yugi said, then walked out of the room to let Joey dress.
"I hate you guys!" Joey shouted.
"Just get dressed or I'll strap you down and dress ya!" Rebecka threatened.
"I'd like to see you try!"
"No more fighting!" Yugi said, feeling slightly annoyed that the werewolves always treat each other like this. He wondered how they're able to cooperate when they fight vampires, if they can't even get along well enough to be a team. The only ones that get along are the pack itself, with their share of teasing. When it came to the members of the different packs, they were like rivals against the other pack. One member of a pack would fight over the other member almost like gang fights.
Rebecka and Joey were not really that bad. They were okay with each other compared to Joey and Marik, who would just fight in both forms. At least with Joey and Rebecka, they only fight mouth to mouth. There wasn't really anything brutal, just bark and no bite. Yugi was very relieved by this. The last thing he wanted was dealing with two obnoxious wolves fighting over getting up in the morning.
Joey came out dressed in his normal outfit for changing from human to wolf. Yugi also dressed in his vampire hunting clothing before hopping in the truck and Joey driving off. He parked near the forest before changing into wolf form. Yugi hung onto Joey, guiding him where he was supposed to go. He noticed the other wolves and other human volunteers running at Joey's direction. He was very familiar with them all.
Maria rode on Marik (very obvious), Tea rode on Serenity, Rebecka's grandpa rode on Rebecka, Odion rode on Ishizu, Hanasaki's father rode on his son (he was very protective of Hanasaki's life, despite the fast healing), and one human volunteer on John, who happened to be his best friend (who witnessed the first transformation). Yugi was aware of the number of human volunteers that came along with the number of new wolves.
There were people questioning if John's best friend, who was a female with long black hair in a ponytail and freckles, was his crush. Yugi really couldn't be sure. It was possible the two could've had chemistry, but John declared that she was just his childhood friend he knew since they were babies and never wants to think of his friend that way.
In only a few seconds, Joey and the other werewolves came face to face with more of the swarm. The wolves leaped right onto the vampire before snapping its head off. Each of the members per pack had a certain strategy. The human volunteers did their job to help kill off their partner's prey or protect their partner. Rebecka's grandfather, Professor Hawkins, was very good with a slice shooter. He'd make it easier for his granddaughter to kill her prey by shooting it right at the neck, dragging it to the ground on its front, before Rebecka pinned and ripped off the creature's head like a chicken's head.
Yugi did his job with killing off any prey Joey would go for the kill. This was all he had to focus on, including everyone else. Even Tea, who found her skill with knives and weakening the body of the vampire before letting Serenity kill it, focused on Serenity's main prey. Yugi would continually watch his girlfriend slaughter without blinking an eye. There was no doubt joining as a volunteer really did change Tea alot. She would be extremely grossed out by this only a week ago.
Serenity began wrestling with one of the brutal creatures while Tea lifted her body over Serenity, who was on her hind legs, and kicked the creature's head back before her body flipped right back on Serenity's back and the wolf girl landed back on her four legs. In one quick motion, Serenity pinned the vampire to the ground and ripped its head from its body, blood gushing everywhere. Tea shook her head, trying to swish the blood off her face. Her face turned into a more serious and determined look. It was like she stood with no fear despite all that was around her.
Odion had his way of killing off Ishizu's prey. He would be able to help kill Ishizu's prey while also killing another with one throw of a knife. Anyone could tell this guy had done this for years. Even Maria was a huge pro. When Marik attacked his prey, Maria could already snap its head off before Marik could. He was very fine with this type of strategy. Yugi wished he could be as good as Odion and Maria.
Ryou was a crazy werewolf in how he killed. Being a human volunteer once, he would be found running as a wolf, then sometimes jumping in the air, transforming human, before snapping the head off in one quick second, then changing back to his wolf form. There was no doubt that Ryou didn't need a human volunteer and if he had one, it would be difficult for the person to stay on him. He just was too much into transforming to and fro.
Yugi hung onto Joey tightly as he zoomed to another vampire, who was almost nearby Hanasaki and about to attack his dad. Joey had a fight on his hind legs with this vampire before Yugi quickly stabbed the creature on the neck and pulled the handle. The head came ripping open as Joey landed on his four legs with the headless vampire. Yugi could feel the blood all over his face. He wiped it quickly with his sleeve jacket before Joey continued on to the next vampire.
"Nice going, Yugi!" Tea quickly said as soon as Joey killed his next prey. Yugi simply nodded, knowing that there was no room for talking during a battle with vampires, especially with the wolves' quick speed.
Suddenly, Marik started making a sharp turn to a certain direction, which was taking toward Ishizu. She was fighting off three vampires at once. Two of them she was wrestling with and the other one Odion was trying to take down with his trusty sword. He used it more than knives. The third vampire slapped Odion onto the ground and began wrestling with him. Marik was able to help Ishizu take down the other vampire she was wrestling with.
Tristan was able to see a little bit of the fight and barked right at Marik. He ripped off the head of the vampire that was attacking Ishizu before facing Tristan. Odion had one hand right under the neck of the third vampire and the other hand with the sword, trying to slice the vampire's head right off. The vampire was incredibly strong and slightly more skilled. He was able to see through Odion's attack and quickly pushed the side of the blade with its head before biting into Odion's wrist.
"YAAAAAAAAAH!" Odion screamed, feeling the intense pain of the venom, before taking the creature by the head and twisting it. He then kicked the creature off of him for Ishizu to attack before struggling to get up and failing to do so. The pain was so hot, it melted every limb on Odion's body and replaced it with intense, burning pain. Odion felt himself screaming bloody murder, not even noticing Marik changing into his human form.
"ODION! PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE NOT BITTEN!" Marik screamed out before Joey ran to Odion's side.
Yugi turned Odion, seeing the bite mark, then covering it with the sleeve of the jacket. Yugi turned to Marik. "Cover me! I'll see if I can strap him on Joey!"
"No, I'm taking him!"
"Okay," Yugi agreed, then turned to Joey. "I'll get Odion strapped up! Cover me!" Joey protected the group while Yugi got Odion, still screaming like he was being burned alive, onto Marik's wolf back, holding him tight. Marik took off into the woods as Yugi held Odion to his wolf brother as he made his way to his house.
