Yami Bakura POV
I walked back to the new game shop and saw that my millennium ring was acting up. So the pharaoh was in there after all hu? I walked in and saw the guards glare at me. "Hey! I thought we kicked you out!"
"You better get out of my way before I cause the shadows to devour you souls." They laughed at my threat. I warned them. So I use my shadows to make them black out. "Useless minds... you deserve to die." So I followed my ring until I was in the back room where Yugi and Otogi was picking up the pieces of the Millennium puzzle. Yami was unconscious on the ground, well...stunned from the puzzle shattering so he couldn't move at all, not that I cared about his welfare but I do care about the puzzle. "Yugi...I see that the puzzle is shattered...a shame to see it broken." Yugi looked up and gasped. "Ba...Bakura?" Otogi got up and snatched the puzzle. (what's left of the pieces) from his dad. "You are not allowed to hold this...why the hell did you break it anyway?"
"That puzzle contains something that is connected to Yugi...with the connection severed...then he will lose." Yugi glared. "I won't lose." Yugi then whispered something to himself. I smirked. "The king is alright...he just slipped into a state of unconsciousness..."
Yugi's POV
I was really upset that the puzzle was broken now and that meant Yami's heart was in pieces. I could see his form on the ground and he wasn't moving at all. I had to save him. Back on the game I lost my ninja to Otogi's monster and now his monster was in my side of the field. One by one he picked off my monsters until I had none left. It looked hopeless. But then Bakura smirked. "Otogi...Yugi was chosen by the Millennium puzzle over three thousand years ago...he will win by the will of the puzzle." I looked at the board but how could I win? I rolled and then move my dungon master out of Otogi's monster's way, but I still lost another heart point. Otogi laughed "I won this game Yugi...the puzzle is Otogi's now." Otogi glared as his father picked up the puzzle pieces and fiddled with them...trying to get them to fit together. I knew that wasn't going to help. Then I heard Yami moan in pain. Because Otogi's father was trying to force the pieces together, it was hurting Yami's heart. Bakura glared. "You are just pissing off the puzzle. Your feeble mind can't handle it." I looked at the board and then realized I still had one spot to summon. I rolled the dice and prayed for a summon.
Honda's POV
I was walking my dog down the street and noticed that Ryou walked into that new game shop. He had the millennium ring on and for some reason I felt like I had to check to see if Yugi and the others knew about this. So as I hurried to Yugi's place, I heard a moan. Looking down the ally way, I saw Kisimra on the ground and she looked badly beaten. "KISIMRA!?" She looked up and frowned. "Honda...I...I was...kidnapped then...they beat me black and blue."
"Here let me help you up." I helped her on her feet and she glared at the new shop. "They are after Yugi...we need to get reinforcements." She was in her Lady Hawk state, which always scares me but I know she meant well. "I was just heading over to Yugi's place..."
"We have to hurry." She ran as fast as she could. I knew something is wrong.
Yugi's POV
I rolled and prayed for a summon and I got my wish. I summoned a monster. "I summon...Puzz an armored warrior!" but the thing was it had zero attack. Bakura rolled his eyes. "This is a test Yugi...either you are the Puzzle's rightfull owner or that puzzle and the pharaoh will be destroyed. That is the price...now don't give up now...unless you want Yami to die permanently."
"Fine...Otogi...it's your last move!" Otogi attacks and I activated my monsters special ability. This stopped Otogi's attack. "Now I roll!" I got two crest and attacked his monster. "WHAT!?" I looked at Otogi's expression...he was defeated. "Yugi...that was a good game...you truly are the rightful owner of the Millennium Puzzle." I gave a sad smile. "now to fix the puzzle."
"Yea...sorry about that." Bakura smirked. "Well here then let me hand you all the pieces. "thanks Bakura." Then Bakura gasped. "Oh...you forgot a peice."
"Right...I couldn't help Yami if I was missing this." Otogi's father came up to me. "Let me put that treasure around your neck...as a token of my forgivness." I glared. "I don't..." but then he grabbed me and dragged me to a secret room. "FATHER NO!" Otogi chased after us but the door closed on him. "Let go!" I shouted as he threw me to the ground.
Yami's POV
I woke up in an odd room...Yugi was in a corner and Otogi's father was at the table with the puzzle trying to solve it. "St...Stop...it...hurts..." He was using his anger to try to solve the puzzle and this was hurting my chest. I tried to get up and I felt a surge of energy just swell up in me. "DROP THAT PUZZLE NOW! BEFORE YOU ARE KILLED IN THE PROCESS!" Yugi looked up and Otogi dropped the puzzle in a panic. "Wh...Who said that!?"
"THE DARK SPIRIT WHO YOU ARE GIVING A REAL PAIN IN THE ASS TOO..." that was when Otogi's father went crazy. He spilled water on the outlet, which caused a fire to start. Now I know we were screwed.
Yugi's POV
I quickly got up. We had to get out. I grabbed the puzzle and tried to run when the chains went tight and I fell back. I saw that the puzzle was hammered into the table. "Oh shit!" Otogi's father already ran out of the room and I didn't realized that the door locked me in. So I took a deep breath, I just had to get Yami out of here, and focused on solving the puzzle right there in the mist of the flames.
Kisimra's POV
The group and I ran as fast as we could to the gameshop when we saw smoke coming from that direction. "Oh shit!" we saw what looked like the flames of hell coming out of the store. I spotted Otogi and Ryou trying to get back to the shop. "LET US GO! THERE IS STILL A PERSON IN THERE!"
"OTOGI WHO IS IN THERE STILL!" Otogi gave me a panicked look. "Yugi...Yugi is in there still!" Jonouchi glared. "I'll get him out!" Jonouchi ran pass the firefighters and into the inferno. "JONOUHCI! WAIT FOR ME!" I ran after him and faced the inferno from hell.
Yami's POV
I was panicked for Yugi's life. The fire was getting really bad. "YUGI GET OUT OF HERE! JUST LEAVE ME BEHIND!" I didn't know whether Yugi could hear me or not but he wasn't stopping. I saw that the puzzle was almost finished, just one piece, and as soon as that piece went in, Yugi blacked out. So I took over and opened my eyes. "Don't worry Yugi...I'll get you out of here." I took a peg and stuck it in loop of the nail that held the puzzle to the table. It came out and I quickly took it and ran for the door. It was locked. "SHIT!" I started to cough from the smoke in the air. I tried to break the door down and the door creaked under the heat and broke. I ran down a flight of stairs when I had to stop because a part of the stairs was engulfed in flames. "I...I ha...Have to jump..." so I jumped over the gap and tumbled down the rest of the stairs, hitting my head harshly against the check out counter. "AHG!" I yelled as I felt a flow of blood from the gash in my forehead. "YUGI!" I looked up and saw Jonouchi looking for me. "J...Jonou...chi..." I could barley stand and I tried to flag him down. "JONOUHIC OVER THERE!" was the last thing I heard before losing consciousness.
MG: Okay so I saved my comments for last on this chapter because I did change it up a lot, especially since I have Yami take over as soon as the puzzle is finished. Personally I would have thought that Yami would have done his best to help get Yugi out of that inferno and I didn't see Jonouchi just letting Yugi stay in the fire to solve the puzzle. So Yea I hope you enjoyed it and can't wait to see how the next chapter comes out.
