After Venatrix had gotten a hold of Wheeljack she had given him a few large dents in the helm which Ratchet was now fixing well Prowl and Optimus were giving Venatrix a lecture on proper procedure again. As always she was ignoring them and fusing over Redrun who was playing Duel Monsters with Yugi. Prime finally got fed up with Venatrix ignoring him "dam it Ven Galloway is going to come to NEST in a few hours I need you to represent our race better." Prowl being the wiser bot backed up from Venatrix when he saw her wings stiffen in anger at Primes words; Prowl may be thick when it comes to personal matters but he knew enough not to upset Venatrix especially when her Protection protocols were active.
"Galloway is coming to NEST did anyone tell him about Yugi and the others?"
"No we were going to tell him when he gets here."
"I don't trust him to do what is right for Yugi and his friends if he friends out about the Yami/Hikari bond I don't even want to think of what he will do to them and I don't have any jurisdiction so if he asks for them I can't protect them. United Nations does not recognize my clam of protection like Cybertones do they accepts it is part of our culture and will only comply too it when it suites them." Prime was backing up with every word Venatrix yelled at him until he was up ageist the wall (small women are scary when they are mad).
"What will the procedure be from here Allspark?" asked Prowl Knowing that this was the part of Venatrix that was the Allspark.
"Keep everyone form 'Yu-gi-oh' away from Galloway and don't let him know of their existence protect them with your life for if anyone hurts the Hikaris I will kill the one responsible for their injury if one of the others are hurt I will maim the offender; understood?"
"Yes Allspark"
"Good, we will give them temporary guardians they are no longer safe here. Now as much as this pains me put Seto with Wheeljack he is the only one who Seto won't kill, Skyfire is with Mokuba, Jolt is with Tea, Sideswipe is with Tristan, Sunstreak is with Marik, Ratchet is with Yugi and I will watch Ryou."
"It shall be done Allspark" Prowl bowed, Venatrix may acted childish at times but when she got like this she was not just Venatrix she was the Allspark the life giver of his people and you obeyed her to the letter or death would follow.
Venatrix sighed, now came the part of telling the guys about this "Yugi, Kaiba, Ryou, Mokuba, Tea, Joey, Tristan, and Marik I need to talk to you guys now it's very important." They all came over in a rush hopping that they now had a way home "you will now be assigned temporary Guardians well you are here for the rest of your stay." They all protested loudly at the news of guardians "QUIET" yelled Venatrix, all went silent "Thank you. Now as I was saying you will be assigned temporary guardians we have a man coming here from the United States if he finds out about you he will demand we hand you over for 'observation' which means you will be sent to a lab for experimentation and I will not be able to stop him."
A few of them when white with horror well Bakura took over and snorted "I would like to see them try you mortals are pathetic."
"I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation Tomb Robber 'Yu-gi-oh' is a very popular TV show and they can find out everything about you. They may even take the millennium items and try to recreate how they were made they can find out what happened at Kul Elna and they will do whatever they can to replicate it do you want to be there and see it again. Because they know you saw the first time the items were created they will take you to make them tell you if it is done right and if you don't comply they will destroy the ring and kill Ryou. Do you want to see another Kul Elna? If you don't you will stay out of Galloway's way and stick to your guardian they can run interference if something happens and give me a little time to come up with something to stop them." Bakura's face went white with horror which worried everyone even more they didn't know what Kul Elna was but if it was enough to scare Bakura it must have been very bad.
Yami took over and was the first to speak "Who are our guardians?"
"Mokuba is with Skyfire, Tea is with Jolt, Tristan is with Sideswipe, Marik is with Sunstreak, Yugi is with Ratchet, I will watch Ryou, and I can't believe I am saying this but Seto is with Wheeljack because I don't think you will kill him like you would anyone else just don't blow up the planet and when you do experiments with the shadow realm; no don't deny it I know you will, have Prospector with you as a safety precaution."
"Who is Skyfire?" asked Seto as his eyes narrowed, he was not about to hand his brother's safety over to just any one giant robots or not.
"Skyfire is a Seeker and a scientist the reason I chose him is that Mokuba is young enough for the seeker sparkling protocol to activate if He is in danger. Now sense you don't know about seekers a seeker will protect a sparkling so fiercely that you have no chose but to destroy their spark chamber for they will not stop. Out of all of you Mokuba will probably be the most well protected one here not to mention that Skyfire is a shuttle seeker he can take on a whole platoon of Decepticons by himself if Mokuba is in danger otherwise Skyfire is a pacifist at heart." Kaiba grunted in expectance pleased that his brother was getting the best protection they could offer.
Lennox came running into the med bay at full speed "Ven Galloway is here he is demanding to speak with you about your refusal to give weapons to the government and his lack of access to the hangers."
"Those are the privet hangers he has no right to my room. Ratchet take Redrun, Yugi and his friends to my hanger and take the back door we don't want Galloway to think we are up to something come Lennox into the jaws of death we go with no way of knowing if we will survive."
Lennox flinched "You could be a little more cheerful with your hummer sometimes it won't hurt anything."
"Sorry Will but there is nothing cheerful about Galloway so I won't give him any cheerful things to talk about." Will watched in some amusements as Venatrix's casual clothes changed to her battle gear which was a leather suite with a few metal studs and her nails grow to very sharp points. I was common knowledge in NEST that Venatrix hated Galloway with a passion thought no one knew what the poor bastard did to deserve her hate. "Good evening Galloway I hope you trip here was pleasant?"
Said Venatrix in a voice so cold it gave Will the shivers even her warm body language was gone replaced with a seemingly uncaring and heartless demeanor even Ironhide could not suppress a shiver as it traveled down his frame.
Galloway being the politician that he was wasn't bothered by Venatrix "It was a pleasant trip the secretary of state let me barrow her plane so I had all the comforts it could offer. Now let's get down to bisness we both know why I am here."
"Yes I do those hangers are Privet quarters for me and my people I do not go around asking to see in your room and poke around through your things I expect you to give us the same respect."
"What about the weapons your treaty with earth states that you would share your technology with earth and her people yet you have not offered us a signal weapon."
"And we never will we have shared technology with your people and they are things that will help your world greatly" Galloway opens his mouth to interrupt Venatrix but she doesn't let him. "Don't say we are obligated to anything you have done for us because it is the other way around. Your governments have stolen from our kind for hundreds of years and have killed thousands of our children even now I trade valuable goods with your people to pay the costs of NEST so you don't have to. If we wanted we could sue your government for everything it is and declare war for the slaughter of fifty thousand of our babies and the impressment of our High Lord Protector. Yet here we are protecting your race from the decepticons and trading with you when you have clearly wronged us how do you think the future generations of Earth will think of that when they find out how you have wronged our People for so long." Lennox grind it was always entertaining to watch Venatrix chew out Galloway she did it in such a way that he could not deny anything and had no grounds to compline about what she said because everything she said was true. Even if he tried to use her words ageist her he couldn't because of how she says them and he couldn't misquote her because she could show exactly what was said from a memory file.
Galloway was grinding his teeth in frustration "This topic is far from over you will have to share your weapons eventually one way or another you cannot deny us forever."
"Is that a threat Mr. Galloway?" Galloway didn't respond he just turned away and left Venatrix sighed she was getting tired of dealing with the bastard but for now it was necessary until they could go public. "You can come out now Bakura the bastard is not coming back anytime soon."
The shadows in the corner seamed to rise up into the shape of a man to revile Bakura "I can see why you don't like him even Ryou is not liking him, how did you know I was there?"
"Mirage and Jazz do the same thing all the time I've even ran into Mirage once or twice because he was invisible when he shouldn't be and Jazz… well Jazz is just Jazz. I deal with Galloway because I know how he thinks. I'd rather deal with a demon I know than one I don't know; plus once I get enough of a case on him I will get him fired and go after him with a the frying pan. "
Bakura grins and the clutches his chest in pain "what is happening to me?"
"You are near me so your soul is healing but something is stopping the proses from being completed if you want I can help it along so it doesn't hurt."
"Fine" hissed Bakura through clenched teeth, he watched in fascination as she bite her finger so it bleed a silvery blue color she took the bloody finger and drew something on his forehead.
"This is the symbol of truth well you are hear your true soul will be free after five thousand years." The symbol glowed them faded into his skin everything hit him like a tone of bricks' the crimes he had committed the pain he had causes his Hikari and the destruction of his home he couldn't take it all at once. For the first time in five thousand years Bakura the thief king cried; Venatrix took him in her arms and crooned softly to the distort thief well Ryou appeared in spirit form and hugged his Yami.
Bakura Hugged his Hikari close to him and buried his face in his hair "I'm sorry Ryou I am so sorry." Ryou said nothing and gave his Yami a fears hug in return well seeing all that his Yami had been though and cried with him for all that the thief had lost.
