[[Oooo I really like that :3]]
"So very peaceful, so quiet. Don't you think it to be boring?" Bakura said to one of his men. They were right outside town coming in. Of course, they were all in cloaks, hiding, waiting for the right moment. "Look at them, the poor fools, so unexpected of what will happen," he said in a whisper to his right hand man. The plan was quite simple, since the Pharaoh always had men stationed outside the palace within the towns, starting a ruckus within the town would bring them out easily. Especially if it was him, how they would love to get their hands on him. His right hand man only nodded, keeping an eye out for all their men to be in place. Bakura and some of his closets men stood in their position, near some of the guards and within a group of people. "I want to turn this town into a graveyard," he said smirking evilly. Bakura then walked up to a woman and asked, "Excuse me, ma'am. I have a question for you." The woman looked up and asked what was the question. "Do you believe that only gods have the right to decide a human's fate?" he said with a smirk. His hood hid his white hair and devious eyes.
The woman stood there for a moment and answered, "Yes..... of course." She fully didn't understand the question.
Bakura then grabbed the woman and put a blade that he had been hidding to her neck. "Then you agree that I have all the right to kill you now," he said insinuating that he was of godly status. The woman shrieked which of course gained the attention of the guards. While they focused on Bakura his men stabbed them in the back. This caused chaos, however the closets guards to Bakura were no longer a threat. Others rushed towards him but were blocked off by his men. Bakura lowered his hood to reveal who he was. "I am the Great Thief King! I'll lay this whole damn town to waste! I dare anyone to try and stop me!" he yelled out as he finished off the struggling woman by slicing her jugular.
Why wouldn't she get mad at him! Why couldn't she just break down already?! He narrowed his eyes at her and gritted his teeth. However his attention was redirected when he heard yells from a far. "What is that?" he said looking out in the distance but did not see anything. He then saw guards come running up the steps in a panic. Atem rushed over to them and asked, "What's going on?"
"Bakura.... he's attacking the town. We need more guards..... he and his men are just massacring everyone," the guard said as he bowed to the prince. Bakura didn't have many men, not as many as guards, but they were strong.
Atem's eyes widened, but they looked determined. "Get my brother, get Seth, Mahado, anyone you can find. Pull some of our men to go with you and other to guard the enterence of the palace as well as around the palace. That fiend doesn't come anywhere near the palace- got it?" Atem commanded. He then turned back to Akila and put his hands on her shoulders, "Go back to your room, stay there. DO NOT leave there until I come back for you. Do you hear me?" he said sincerely and protectively. He shook her slightly and added, "I'm serious." Akila never listened, but she had to listen now. If she never listened again he wouldn't care as long as she did what she was told now. He let go of her and looked at the guard, "I want at least a dozen guards to protect her. Go."
Jono didn't fight when Seth pulled his shirt off, he went with it. With both hands free he forgot what he was planning to do. Instead he put his hand on Seth's torso, sliding down all the way to his hips. Seth was right, he was in control of him.
Suddenly there was a frantic knock at Seth's door. "Priest Seth! Priest Seth! Are you there!? Please open up! Priest Seth!" someone shouted outside of his door. They were there to tell him of what was happening.
Jono's eyes widened and refocused. What was he doing?! He froze with fright, thinking the person could come in. He didn't know that the door was locked.
Amme didn't even look back at him when he yelled back at her. She just walked away from him. She should have just stayed in her room. At least she knew how he really felt now. But why now? And all those years he was there for her, this didn't make any sense. Amme felt so empty now. There were a lot of things she could deal with but this wasn't one of them. Suddenly she saw other guards run in front of her and towards the stairs. She wiped her face and quickly called to one, "What's going on?"
He replied back, "There is a slaughter going on in the town." The guard then continued since they were needed.
Amme's eyes widened slightly. She then instantly ran to the infirmary to grab medicines and material she would need. She was going into town.

((wow youre really good at playing Bakura biggrin ))
Akila's eyes widened when she heard the news. She was even more surprised when Atem showed concern for her. He cared if she was safe? Oh yeah she was the royal blood he needed her thats it. Even though thats what her head said her heart felt like he really cared for her and she was worried about him too. "But Atem-" She tried to protest. She wanted to help. She could fight, she was strong. And honestly she wanted to stay by him. He just looked so serious it was hard to argue. And before she could protest further some gaurds shooed her along with them towards her room, saying not to worry and that they would protect her. She looked back at Atem, wanting to go back to him. But she soon found herself in her room, gaurded on all sides. She paced back and forth. Atem could handle everything right? She felt so useless and it made her angry. She wanted to help!
Seth's head snapped up when he heard the frantic knocking. "This had better be important..." he growled and got up, opening the door. "What is it?" He asked and frowned, seeing how frantic the gaurd was.
"The city! Its under attack! The Theif King!" The gaurd panted out quickly.
Seth's eyes widened and he gave a swift nod. "Make sure all the priests are informed I'll meet the princes by the gate!" he ordered and turned back into his room. He adjusted his clothing and made sure he had his millenium rod. He then grabbed his diadhank and his sword. he then turned to Jono and leaned down, kissing him again. "Stay here and hide. Thats an order." He said sternly before quickly leaving the room, shutting the door behind him. He was a little nervous for the battle ahead. Never was he nervous before a battle but Bakura had never been so daring before. He had to be stopped. Seto wouldnt let him cause any more destruction! He met the others at the gate and was brought his horse. He bowed to Atem.
As Atsu was running away he was stopped by some gaurds.
"Prince! Prince!" they yelled to get his attention.
Atsu stopped and looked at them. "What is it?" Once they told him his eyes went wide and he imediately looked back to where he left amme. "Go get the Royal Healer and make sure she is kept safe! If anything happens to any of us we will need her!" He said, sounding professional but he was really just worried for her safety. He was extreamly nervous. He had never been in a battle before. He had his diadhank and his bow and arrows brought to him before he ran out to meet the others. He looked quite a mess though he tried to appear brave. He looked to his big brother for guidence.

[[Thank you ^ ^ It's fun being psychotic sometimes XP]]
When Akila was taken to safety and Atem was brought his diadhank, spear, and shield he went to the gate. The first to arrive was Atsu. He looked at his brother, seeing how frightful he was. "Atsu," he said trying to give his brother strength, "everything is going to be ok. I want you to stay in back of us and slightly higher up. We need your archer skills and sharp eyes. I know you can do this." He trusted his brother even though he knew he was nervous. Atem was too, but only in the back of his mind. He did have a better mind set when it came to battle. He was set to annihilate anything that was a threat. He would make sure that nobody even touched his brother, and he would make Bakura pay for what he has done to their people. Seth followed next, he nodded to him. Seth was more used to battle so Atem only said, "Do you know what to do?" The guards surround the three of them, acting as if they were their shield. Atem wasn't worried about them, but he was nervous about Akila. He prayed to the gods that she listened and that she would be ok. Not just because she was needed for her blood, but he didn't know what would happen if she was hurt.
Attack? What the hell was going on? Jono sat up and watched Seth prepare. He leaned down and kissed him. Then he was gone. Jono froze for a moment, Seth actually looked concerned for him. Then Jono snapped out of it. It was Seth. He jumped out of the bed and grabbed his shirt throwing it back on him. He straightened himself out and darted out of his room. Jono didn't know what to feel, part of him told him to run while the other part told him to stay- that things would be ok. But now that the arousal has faded away Jono was freaked out. And this was the chance to escape. But now he wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do.
Once Amme had everything thing she left the infirmary and started running down the steps. She was stopped when she felt a firm arm on her shoulder.
"Lady Ammeterasu, you can't go out there," the guard said firmly yet respectfully.
Amme shook her head and replied, "I have to go out there our people are dying..."
She was cut off when the guard spoke, "If someone is hurt we'll bring them to you."
"Are you going to carry all those bodies here?" she fought back without raising her voice. "What if a priest or prince is hurt? Will you have time to bring them to me?" she continued. She might be mad at Atsu but she still cared about him. She was afraid for everyone right now- priest, soldier, royalty, and citizen. "Let me go with you, guard me, I can be more useful if I am down there," she begged.
"I'm sorry Lady Ammeterasu, it was an order," the guard said grabbing her wrist and walking her back up the stairs. He and another solider stayed near her so she would not be in harms way. Amme paced back and forth nervously. People were dying and she couldn't do anything to stop it. Everyone was in potential danger and she had to hope that they could get to her in time. This made her sick to her stomach.
Bakura let go of the woman's limp body and ran through the town. He knew where to go, where they would be. As he made his way there he sliced through everyone except his own men. Guards, soldiers, citizens, it didn't matter. At least 4 other men followed him, these were his closest men.

((hahaha i agree))
Atsu looked at Atem, practically shaking but his brother gave him confidence. Atem was a great leader and even though they were twins Atsu looked up to him a lot. He wished he could be more like him. But no he was a wimp. "I'll do my best!" He said, trying to sound brave. He may not be next in line for the throne but he was still a prince of Egypt and he had to protect his people!
Seth nodded. "Of course Prince Atem. I'll be at your side so dont worry." He was feeling a bit more confident. Though he may be a jerk to some people, mostly just Jono. He was actually very loyal and had a strong sense of justince and most importantly he was smart, stong and could keep his calm when facing the enemy. He narrowed his eyes back at Atsu. He had no respect for that prince but he would still protect him. it was his job to look after the Pharaoh and Princes. He got on his horse and kicked it as soon as Atem gave the signal. he was right behind Atem.
Atsu got on his horse as well and closed his eyes for a moment, taking a breath to try and calm down. He then kicked his horse and followed the others. He got his arrow ready. As they got closer he took aim and hit a theif who was about to stab a child. He grabbed another arrow and aimed for another. Despite his nervousness he was actually strong and a great shot when it mattered.
Seth took out his sword and rode ahead of the Prince now, slicing anyone who came close who was an enemy. Then he summoned one of his monsters. Vorse Raider appeared after a bright light came from his temple. "Go Vorse Raider! Kill those theives!" He ordered.
Atsu saw Seth summon a monster so he did the same. "Go! Summon Skull!" He wasnt wasting any time before summoning a powerfull monster.
Akila couldnt stand this! She couldnt just stay here while everyone else was in danger! And Atem was probably going to take Bakura head on. She looked to see if the gaurds on the balcony were paying attention. Then she knelt down and cooed for her cat. When it came running she grinned. "Good boy Miko." She said and whispered a spell. Suddenly the two of them transformed, her into a cat and him into a copy of her. She would have grinned if she could. She watched as her copy looked around curiously and jumped on the bed and curled up. Then she ran out to the balcony and jumped into the tree and climbed down. She made her way through the garden and into another tree and over the palace wall. Once on the other side she transformed back and looked around. This was very dangerous. She didnt care though. She had to find Atem!

Jono made a mad dash out of the palace only to see tons of guards and soldiers running around. He hopped in place for a moment or two trying to think. When he saw the direction he wanted to go he jetted for it. Jono wasn't thinking correctly, didn't they say the village was being attacked? It didn't matter, he could hide once he was out of here.
The two guards who were watching over Amme moved their attention to Jono. Was he trying to escape? "Hey boy! You can't go out there now!" the on guard called out but were both ignored. The one pointed at Amme and said, "Stay here." The two ran off to try and catch Jono.
Of course Amme wasn't going to stay there! She waited till they were out of sight then made a mad dash for the steps again. Once she was out there she recoiled for a moment. The blood in the air stung her eyes. Not just a few feet were downed soldiers. She ran to the closest one moving who cried to her, "Please...... I don't want to die......"
Amme knelt down quickly and started looking at his wound. He was stabbed in the gut, something very painful but would take hours to become fatal. "Shhh, you're not going to die," she said in a calm voice as she put one hand on his wound and began to heal him. She used her free hand to search her bag for wraps.
Jono looked over to see two guards chasing after him. He changed direction to try and lose them. He'd have to jump the wall, rather, jump a wall and climb down a tree. They wouldn't dare try the same thing.
Atem was brought his horse as well and gave the sign to Seth. He had to summon a monster right along with the others. He waited before he summoned a God, he'd wait until he was face to face with Bakura. "Go Curse of Dragon!" he summoned. The beast flew to the skies and swooped down on the thieves further from them. They had to find Bakura. If they take him out then his minions won't know what to do. They would be easier to pick off. Being on horseback made things easier, since his men were on foot.
Bakura smirked when he saw them come out on horseback. He stopped in front of them with his men in front of him to protect him. He let out a cackle then spoke, "Well now. What an honor! Not nearly five minutes ago I started my little.... parade and here I am greeted by royalty! Where's your old man? Is he dead yet?" Half the fun was messing with people's heads. All three of them bunched together like this was not going to be easy. Mental warfare was absolutely needed.
[[should Bakura be a magic user as well?]]

((I dont think he could use magic like Mahado and the magicians but he could have stole a diadhank and used that?))
Seth stopped his horse quickly when the group of theives stopped in front of him. He glared and raised his sword. "You will pay for all tha damage youve caused theif!" he growled. He hated how Bakura mocked them. He would make him regret those words. His monster attacked but one of the theives took out a large bow and shot his monster down. Seth gripped his heart, feeling the sting from his monsters defeat.
Atsu's eyes went wide when they saw Bakura and he pulled a little too hard on his horses reigns, causing the horse to jump up and threw Atsu off. He landed with a thud on the ground and groaned, quickly getting up. He saw the thieves laugh at him and he glared. Very quickly one of the theives now had an arrow through their head from Atsu's quick shot.
Akila started running through the city. She saw countless dead bodies and was very afraid of looking to see one she may know. She grabbed a cloak from a shop as she ran by. It was in ruins so they didnt need it. She put it around her so she would be harder to notice. She knew if Bakura saw her it would be great trouble for everyone but she was confident she could defeat him. Maybe too confident. She continued running and everytime she saw a theif she used her magic to create a pit hole or throw poison needles and other such attacks.

[[kk, diadhank it is. Should I bring out Diabound right away?]]
Atem snarled at Bakura, "Talk about my father again and I'll cut you where you stand you piece of filth." Atem heard his brother hit the ground. He looked back slightly but mainly saw the arrow strike on of the thieves. Atem pointed his spear at Bakura and said, "I'll give you two options, you and your men can forfeit and be triad like men, or you can all die here like filthy beasts."
"Who will make me pay? You? I'd like to see you try it you lap dog. All your good at doing is kissing a**," Bakura scoffed at Seth. When the arrow whizzed by Bakura only looked with his eyes at the man who was struck by Atsu's arrow. "I sort of liked him, I'll make sure you pay for that," he said with a grin almost unphased that his man was killed. He did take mental note of how fast the boy was- even though he was much more unimpressive then his twin. "Do you really think we would surrender now?" Bakura said to Atem with a cackle.
Atem only smirked and said, "No, not really. And in all honesty I prefer it this way." The thieves were too dumb to take advantage and strike after Atsu shot that arrow. Their arrogance will cost them. There were four of them in all now, if there were only this many then they must be his strongest. They were waiting for him to make a move, they could do that or stare at each other all day. Atem kicked his horse to go forward and charge at them. He quickly looked for weapons they were hidding. When he saw them he changed his path to the side rather then dead on towards Bakura. With one quick jab he managed to catch the one man off guard and pierce him with his spear. He pulled back quickly and scanned the area again.
"You two take them, I'll deal with him," he said. Of course he wanted Atem's throat- he was going to be the future Pharaoh. He had it all figured, he would pick him off first, then his brother, then that priest if he was lucky. Bakura dashed at Atem and brought out his sword. The two met with each others blades. "Not very fair when you're all the way up there!" Bakura said as he sliced the horse's leg.
This caused the horse to rear up and collapse forward and to the side. However Atem was fast enough to get off the horse before the fall would trap him. He looked back at his horse for a moment then back at Bakura.
Jono did as he planned, he jumped the wall and caught onto a tree. The guards cursed at him to come back but all Jono did was pull down his bottom eye lid and stick his tongue out like a child. He climbed down the tree and finally touched the ground. His joy of new found freedom was short lived as he saw a landscape of dead or wounded bodies. "Aw s**t!" he said surprised by the sight. He then quickly covered his mouth and hid behind the trees for a moment. Ok, he had to just get by without nobody noticing. If he took it real slow he would be ok- they would try to kill a running man.... right? Just for safe measure, he grabbed a sickle that was used previously for self-defense. It shook in his hand, but he was well ready to strike in order to live. He just had to get out of this town and into the desert to hide. Maybe when things cool down he would come back and try to get some food.
Amme got the bandages out and managed to bandage him up temporarily and heal him. She took a quick look around. There was so much blood..... where was she even going to start? How was she going to do this? Once he was healed she got up and went to the person next to him. She examined him, this was a commoner. She took notice of how the thieves were all dressed alike and avoided them. As much as that went against her own morals, she could not heal the enemy right now. If she did, they would go after their men, the priests, Atem, and even Atsu. She rolled the man over and saw his face was sliced up. It turned her stomach, the man was barely able to breath. "Shhhh," she said as she patted the bleeding area and healed this man. Amme wondered, she wondered if this man was a father. She related him to her own and wondered if her father suffered like this man.
When the man was mending from her magic he kept repeating, "Where is my wife? Where is my wife? You have to go find my wife."
"I'll find her, just hold on a moment," Amme said trying to keep the man quiet and calm.
[[I'll have someone spot Jono next time and Amme in the next two posts or so.]]

((um yeah i guess he could start with Diabound. so next post Setyh will run to save Jono leaving Atem defenseless and Akila will save him? Then Bakura can notice Amme and kidnap her?))
Atsu glared at Bakura but didnt retaliate. he was better and comforting speeches, not threats. Soon their was one theif comming at him and another at Seth, leaving Bakura and Atem to face off. Atsu didnt have his horse anymore, it had run away in fright. This was bad for him. he was only good with the bow, if the man got too close he was a goner. He readied his bow and stepped back as he did. He shot three quickly in a row but missed each time, just by an inch or two. The theif had a sly smirk on his face. Atsu was sick of being underestimated. he was very determined to win. The theif had a sword but also a spiked chain. The theif was trying to get closer and Atsu continued shooting arrows. He shot two more. Both missed. He was runnign out of arrows. The theif was laughing and taunting him.
The theif got closer and threw the chian, which wrapped around Atsu's ankle. He lifted his sword and started dragging Atsu closer to him.
Atsu gasped as he fell and started being dragged. His arrows and fallen and he only had the one in his hand, it had to count. But the theif was ready to dodge or deflect his attack. Atsu aimed quickly and shot his arrow, a few feet off to the side of the theif.
The theif laughed. "That wasnt even close! I cant believe youre a prince!" He laughed again until the building behing him suddenly collapsed forward on top of him.
Atsu let out a very relieved sigh. He wasnt sure if shooting at the building's last pillar would work but thankfully it did. He felt very proud. He got the chain off of his ankle, wincing. He limped quickly over to his arrows and gathered them.
Seth glared back at Bakura but he let Atem speak. He then saw a theif attempting to attack him. Seth was sure the man stood no chance, but he was one of Bakura's top men so he wouldnt take him too lightly. He did stay near the Prince though. he would give his life to protect the future Pharaoh if needed.
The theif came at him with two twin long curved swords. Seth charged at him on his horse and slashed down at him. The theif doedge and aimed to strike the horse, just as Seth expected. He jumped as the horse passed and then sliced down at the man as he landed. He missed, barely, but the theif managed to roll out of the way.
Then the theif attacked with both swords, first the left, then the right.
Seth used his diadhank to catch the first attack and then blocked the next with his sword before landing a swift kick to the theif's stomach.
The theif stumbled back, coughing and then had to go on the defensive, crossing his swords in front of him as Seth went for a another slice down at him. Then he slashed his swordsapart, this time makeing Seth stumble back slightly.
Seth went at him again and again as they exchanged blows. Once he actually got a small injury to his stomach but th theif was in way worse shape. Seth growled irritatedly, glancing back at Atem continuously to make sure he was ok. One time while he was looking back the theif managed to knock his wsord out of his hand. Seth was very surprised. The theif gloated and went for the kill, holding both his swords above his head, about to strike. Seth smirked and grabbed his millenium rod, twisting it apart and in a flash, stabbed the man in his neck with the hidden dagger inside.
Akila had already taken out a good amount of the theives. But it didnt seem to help. There were still so many. She tried to protect as many people as she could but their were so many dieing right in front of her. She had never seen such a massacre. She was sheltered, locked away in the palace. She didnt know if she was strong enough now. She didnt know if she could handle this. She thought maybe she should have just stayed in the palace. How could she think she could survive out here? How are these people not living in constant fear? She shook her head, trying not to think so much and just to try and fight. And more importantly, find atem. She didnt understand why she needed to find him but she needed to know he was ok.

[[I forget how Diabound is summoned in the show. So I'm making s**t up lol. Also I forget, Diabound absorbs other monsters??? *forgets*]]
Atem lunged his spear at Bakura. Bakura didn't take him seriously, he only dodged him and didn't strik back. Atem then deliberately missed him when he went to stab his neck. He then pulled back quickly having the side of the arrow slice Bakura's neck.
Bakura yelped for a moment and put his hand on his new wound. "Little brat..." he growled then went on the offensive. He swung his saber ((I said sword before, now it's a saber.... which is a sword razz )) at the prince rapidly. Each time he met with the Pharaoh's spear. This was something he's never seen before, a spear is good at long range but not so much at short range. Atem was fighting him at short range like it was nothing. His movements were quick and snapped. Not only that, but he could keep up with the defense. Bakura smirked, seeming to enjoy himself. "Just the type of fight I would expect from royalty! And here I was thinking you all sat around all day!" Bakura cracked at Atem
Atem swung his spear out and down when Bakura swung at him. He trapped his blade down to the ground then came up and punched him in the gut causing him lose his breath. "We train hard to make sure scum like you can be destroyed," he countered as he lifted up his spear.
After Bakura caught his breath, which he had to do quickly, he said with a grimmace, "Warm up is over." He lifted up his sleeve to reveal his own diadhank.
"Where did you get that from!?" Atem exclaimed when he saw the diadhank.
"Oh this? I have my ways. How I got it should be the very least of your problems," Bakura said as he began to summon his monster. The sky began to darken and the diadhank began to glow. "Arise.... Diabound!" Bakura called out. The ground shock and cracked behind him. It opened up to reveal a monstrous hand coming out. It lifted itself out to reveal the monster that Bakura had summoned, Diabound. The monster was enormous, dangerous.
"Cursed Dragon! Attack it now!" Atem commanded hoping to attack it while it was still being summoned. Cursed dragon swooped down from the sky and came in a close range. Before he could shoot an attack at him Diabound raised his hand and grabbed the dragon. With one quick squeeze he crushed the monster, ultimately destroying it. It felt like every bone in Atem's body snapped and crumbled for a moment. He fell to his knee hoping the pain would subside.
Bakura let out a loud laugh. "You poor fool! That insect couldn't even put a scratch into Diabound. You're dealing with a god right now! A REAL god. Your monsters are only toys to him!" Bakura gloated.
He had to be almost out of this town by now. Then he could hide, everything was going to work out. Suddenly, an arm came up from no where and Jono's face collided with it. He fell to the ground and coughed from the shock. "The hell was that?!" he said getting up slowly. Suddenly a swift kick to his stomach knocked him over again. He scrambled up to see some tough guy in a robe. "Who the hell are you? What's you're problem?" Jono said to the guy.
The man laughed and looked at Jono like he was an idiot, "What are you stupid? I'm one of Bakura's men!" He brought out two daggers and added, "Time for you to die little cur." The man then dashed at Jono and swung like a mad man.
Thank god for all the times Jono had to fight with Seth- it made him a strong one. Jono dodged all of the man's attacks then swiftly took his arm, pulled forward, and punched him in the face with his other hand, "Get away from me you freak!" The man fell to the ground, a little surprised from the attack. "Moron," Jono added as he went to continue on his way. However he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his should, "Ah ********!" he shouted as he fell to the ground. What was that? Oh god it was horrible! Seems another thief aided his friend and shot Jono with an arrow in his shoulder blade. The two men laughed as the one picked Jono up.
"I would have just killed you. But I think we're going to torture you before you die," the man said as his friend got up. The one man held Jono from behind as the other started to beat him. Jono snarled at them and cursed at them.
Once the man was healed he crawled over to one of the bodies on the ground. A woman, his wife. She was very much dead. The man sobbed and begged Amme to help her. "I cannot raise the dead...... I'm sorry......" she said as she backed away slightly. "You should find shelter and wait for this to pass..... please," she added and continued. She had to hide from time to time when thieves were still running the streets. There were not a lot of people she could help right now, most were dead. Most were probably dead on contact. She wanted to let her body be sick, but she couldn't she had to hold it in. She stopped when she heard moans from a fallen guard. He was sitting up against a tree. This man was not just simply struck down, this man was tortured. Amme cringed at first but knelt down beside him.
The man spoke, "Do you see what they did to me?" The man's face was beaten and his ear was practically cut off. He was stabbed in the stomach a few times as well but they made sure it was not enough to kill him. When he spoke it was mumbled and slurred, his face was swelling up. "Amme, they ******** cut my ear off.... like some sadist freak....." he said. He knew her, he was one of the palace guards. He was also someone she knew as a child. He picked on her, but once he became a royal guard and needed her help when he was wounded- he stopped. He even apologized. Things change when you realize that someone would still help you even though you treated them like garbage.
Amme put her hand over his ear and pressed it slightly. She winced slightly, feeling like she was going to break down after seeing what they did to this man. "You're going to be ok. Just don't move ok?" she said and began to heal him.
[[wanted to be gruesome with this guy so Bakura would be able to see her powers clearly. Plus I had Resivour Dogs in mind haha]]

((Yeah i have no idea haha so we can just go with whatever haha))
Atsu was trying to move closer to his brother and seth but his ankle was really cut up from that chain and he kept collapsing. And now that they took out the strongest of Bakura's men the others were running towards them to help Bakura. Atsu focoused on taking each one out with his arrows. He wouldnt let a single one get close to them. He saw movement and readied his arrow to shoot but then he stopped breathing for a moment and his eyes went wide as he spotted who appeared to be Amme. What was she doing out here?! She was supposed to be safely back at the palace! He felt his heart start to race and his mind panick.
Seth grabbed his dagger out of the man and turned to help the Prince. He raised his diadhank, about to summon a monster when a familiar voice caught his attention. He looked to the side wide eyed, spotting Jono and some theives a ways away. He felt suddenly enraged and didnt think twice before sprinting off in that direction, leaving the Prince to face Bakura alone. It wasnt on his mind. All he was focoused on was saving Jono. He wouldnt lose him! He reched the theives and punched one and then landed a swift kick to the other. "Get away from the boy now." He hissed. His eyes had a deadly look to them, he was ready to kill. He spun the dagger in his hand quickly to change its position and then slashed out at one of the theives.
Akila saw a monster appear in the distance and knew thats where Atem must be. The creature was huge and she shivered, feeling a little scared just from the look of it. She started running in that direction. Once she got closer she climbed on top of a roof but tried to stay low on it. She looked over and saw Seth running away and Atem looking like he was in pain.

Jono felt like he could survive this- he's taken worse beatings before. He just didn't know how he would get out of the other man's grip. He tried, he struggled to get out but every time he did the man tightened his grip on him. His stomach numbed up from the amount of damage he took and his face became bruised. Suddenly something made the other man lose his grip on Jono, he was now down on the ground. Jono looked up and saw.... Seth!? s**t! Wait no, he punched the thief, he was helping him. Before the other thief could do anything Seth felled him as well. Jono spit some blood off to the side and took deep breaths. He really wasn't sure if he was relieved or scared shitless. Seth told him to stay and here he was making a break for it. How could he even lie about what he was doing? The only thing that kept Jono from continuing his run was the look on Seth's face. He's never seen that before, he actually looked concerned and worried at the same time. Not for himself either...... for him?
The one thief who was slashed at received a slice to his throat. The man fell to his knees and tried to stop the gushing blood. The other man got up and brought out his own dagger. He attempted to charge at Seth while yelling, "I'll kill you you sorry piece of..."
Jono saw the man about to attack Seth and something compelled him to take hold of the sickle he had previously. He did quickly and jammed it right in the man's knee cap. The sickle stuck there as the man fell down screaming. Jono fell on his rear and scrambled away from the man. What did he do? He was never afraid to fight someone but what he just did was gruesome. He covered his ears for a moment, he couldn't take the screams from the man. Jono had to do what he did though, he couldn't let him possibly hurt Seth.
Bakura cackled as Diabound was fully summoned, "How does it feel to look into the eyes of a god? You and your kingdom are nothing but grains of sand compared to his power!"
Atem straightened up, the pain was fading but not forgotten. He couldn't mess around with this man, he had to be serious. Since he was to be the next Pharaoh, they taught him how to invoke the powers of the real gods, even though he has never once summoned them. "Diabound is no god, he's a monstrosity!" Atem called out to Bakura. "You'll suffer for your blasphemy," Atem snarled as he readied his diahank. Summoning any monster did not take that much time, summoning a god took a lot more effort. The darkened sky swirled and only partially broke. The ground rumbled underneath their feet. Atem was summoning the power of Obelisk the Tormentor. This may have been his first time summoning their power, but he was succeeding. Just as Diabound rose from the ground, Obelisk did as well. His arm, much larger then Diabounds, came up and out toward Bakura's monster. Obelisk grabbed the base of the being's tail. The ground broke open more to reveal Obelisk's signing red eyes in the shadows. "I'll make you bow before me...." Atem hissed slightly deviously.
Bakura was about to laugh but then felt the power emitting off of the prince. "What is this?!" he said startled. When the being grabbed Diabound by the tail Bakura growled loudly for a moment as if in pain. "Impossible!" he exclaimed. When he saw the eyes of the being Bakura commanded, "Diabound! Strike him before that thing comes out!" With that, Diabound let out a screech and swung his tail at Atem.
Even though Obelisk was holding onto part of Diabounds tail, the creature was able to reach and strike Atem, however not at full force. Atem flew back and smashed into a wall of a building not too far from where he was. He let out a small painful gasp when he hit. Atem slid down the wall as his legs gave out. His body was now sitting up against the wall. Atem began to cough and spit up a little bit of blood. Because he lost concentration, the ground in which Obelisk was coming out began to close back up. Obelisk let go of Diabound from the pressure on his arm and it began to fade away. The building Atem hit was already very unstable, part of the wall on top began to crumble and break away from the impact. A large chunk of the building broke off and headed straight down for Atem. A piece this size would probably crush him.
Bakura turned his back to Atem, seeing he was downed at the moment. "Now to take care of the other one," he said as he turned to look for Atsu. When he saw him he saw him looking off else where. Curious, Bakura looked in the same direction. The only thing of relevance was a woman with a badly wounded man. When he observed them more to see the man's wounds were disappearing! She could heal? Bakura smirked evilly. He had to have her, sure he could finish them off now but to ensure victory and future victory he had to have a tool like that. Bakura summoned away Diabound, as he felt that he no longer needed him. When a fellow thief came to Bakura's side Bakura said to him, "We're retreating, I'm grabbing the girl. Finish up what you're doing." No man dare to question Bakura, so the thief did as he was told. Bakura brought out his blade and made a dash for the girl.
Amme was able to reattach the man's ear but she would wrap it for good measure. She put both of her hands on his chest and began to heal the rest of his body. His face slowly began to mend on it's own. As she healed him Amme worried- she had not seen any of the priests or the princes. She had to check on them, even if she wasn't supposed to be down here. She had to though, she could be more of use if she was out here. "Please, once I heal you, would you please protect me out here on the field?" she asked the guard.
The guard, since he was in better condition to speak, replied, "You shouldn't be out here, you should be back at the palace."
Amme responded, "If I was, you would have died by the time anybody brought you to me. Other guards will die as well. I need to check on the priests and princes- I need you to please help me. If they are downed and their are no guards around to help them....." she said but stopped feeling more and more uneasy about the idea.
The man paused, "You're going to do it even if I say no." He really had no other choice- if they found out he did not help her and she is hurt, they would have his head. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself either, for harm done to her or the princes now that she mentioned it that way.
Bakura came up behind the girl and wrapped his arm around neck, not to choke her but so she could not escape.
Amme instantly grunted and scratched at Bakura's arm in fright. She didn't know who had her but her instinct was to try and escape.
The guard, being healed enough but not fully, jumped up and punched Bakura in the face to free Amme.
Bakura let go of Amme as he recoiled. "Die," is all Bakura said as he didn't think twice to stab the man in the heart.
Amme fell to her knees and attempted to run for her life. The guard died instantly with the blow Bakura dealt him. He fell to his knees then onto his stomach as the blood poured out of his body. Amme might have gotten away but she tripped over a dead body in the road, she scurried up as fast as she could.
Bakura was able to catch up to her. "You're not getting away again," he said as he grabbed her by the back of her shirt. He raised the handle of his sword and knocked her out with the bottom of the handle. That should make things easier.
Amme fell limp to the ground. She was out cold.

Seth turned andsaw Jono attack one of the theives. Seth stabbed him in the heart to finish him quickly, not that he deserved that. Seth thought he deserved to die slow and painfully, but there was no time for that. Even though Jono was safe now Seth still felt panicky and was looking around for anymore theives, dagger ready, but they all seemed to be retreating. He then calmed down a little, breathing heavily. He never got this riled up, he could always stay calm and rational. He then turned to Jono, feeling relieved he was ok but also pissed that he didnt listen to him. "Why dont you ever listen to me!" He yelled at him and then pulled him into a quick embrace, holding onto him tightly. "Youre so stupid." He scolded but really was starting to just be happy he was ok.
Akila grinned as Atem started summoning a god. He really was powerfull. It was thrilling to see. She thought for sure they were going to win now and everything would be ok. But then everything changed and Bakura somehow managed to attack. Akila's eyes went wide and she jumped into action without thinking. She said a quick spell to teleport herself to Atem. That was a risky spell and usually had many glitches and took a lot of energy. But it worked and she suddenly appeared right beside him. She looked up and pushed her hands up quick "Ring of defense!" a bracelet flew off her arm, grew in size and spun quickly, protecting them. She had her eyes shut tight, afraid for their lives. Once she didnt hear anymore crashes she opened her eyes and smiled, feeling very relieved. She looked at Atem and couldnt help but throw herself at him in an embrace, glad he was ok.
Atsu hadnt noticed Bakura walk over until he already grabbed Amme. He jumped up, only to cringe and fall back down because of his ankle. It was worse than he though. "No! Amme!" he yelled. He used his bow to help him stand again and tried to jump closer but they were running now. What could he do? He shakily but quickly grabbed his arrow. He couldnt help but already be crying, afraid for her. He shot an arrow at Bakura but missed. He shot another and another but each one missed, his vision was getting blurry, probably from the loss of blood and all the tears. No, he couldnt let Bakura take her. "Atem! Seth!" He tried to call for help but no one was around and Bakura was getting away. "AMMMMMEEEEEE!" He yelled but it was too late.

Atem only heard the wall crumbling but could not move. He expected to feel the rubble from above, instead the next thing he felt was the presence of someone beside him. His eyes widened when he heard the voice. Akila!? What was she doing out here?! Of all times! He watched her case a spell and looked up to see a giant circular semi-opaque shield block against the rubble that came down. Shes protecting him? Not that she was cold hearted and wouldn't but still. The second they were safe and Akila was hugging him he grabbed her tightly with one arm and grabbed his spear that was beside him. Atem was petrified of her being hurt or even seen by these curs. His body shifted from side to side, looking in all directions for any enemies. His eyes were sharp and almost deadly to any who opposed him now. He wouldn't let anybody touch her, he swore he would kill them where they stood. Atem's body shook a little from the shock of the last attack. When he saw no one coming near him, that they were actually now retreating, Atem finally said, "What are you doing out here?!" He then dropped his spear and grabbed both her shoulders shaking her slightly and bring her close, "Damn it Akila! I told you to hide until this was over with! Why don't you ever listen to me!?" Atem's voice was angry and serious but shaken and scared. His eyes showed fright as well. Of course he was grateful she protected him but that didn't erase the fact that she put herself in potential danger. Atem then pulled her close to him and held her tightly. "If any of Bakura's men would have gotten a hold of you they would show you no mercy. And if they knew who you were...." Atem said but couldn't even come to finish his sentence. He was so worried about her being out there that he didn't quite realized that she lost their game.
Seth killed the man like it was nothing. It should be expected though, he was used to battles like this. Jono, on the other hand, was only used to fist fights. He was not accustomed to war or killing. So it was no wonder he was shaken up when he struck the man like he did. Seth picked him up and he was sure that he would be beaten for what he did. Instead he felt an embrace. Jono blushed a little, he actually kinda liked it. Jono bit his bottom lip as he thought about what to say. "I...." he said at first. He didn't want to say he was running away now, now he felt bad about it. "I don't know......" he said not being able to come up with any good. He then asked, "Why did you save me? You could have gotten hurt," he said actually sounding concerned for Seth. He did notice how vicious Seth turned when faced with those thieves, he would say that he was being awfully protective of him. But for what purpose? Jono looked to see that the others were running out of the city, "Why are they retreating? Did we win?" Jono questioned.
As Amme was knocked out and being carried away she drempt. She was laying on a white solid flat ground that almost looked like a rock- however it stretched out to the ends of the earth. There was nothing else, only ground and a bright light blue horizon. She opened her eyes to see two little feet and legs in front of her. They were the legs of a child. She looked up at the little girl, but could only see as far as her shoulders. She wore normal clothing and has brownish hair that went to her shoulders. "Who are you?" Amme asked. She couldn't lift herself off the ground.
The girl responded, "Don't die now. If you die now then I'll die along with you."
Amme looked confused and replied, "What?" She then heard a loud ascending pitch noise in her ear and then everything went white. The next thing she knew she had woken up and was thrown on the ground. She let out a cry when her back made contact with the cold hard ground. Amme rolled on her side in pain.
Bakura and his men laughed lowly once the girl was awake again. Bakura knelt down and got in her face. He lifted her chin to make her look at him. "Well, look what we have here. No wonder the Pharaoh has lived for so long," he said with a devious look in his eyes. He then grabbed her wrist sharply and continued, "this palace dog can heal people with no means of medicine. You know, you should consider yourself lucky. I could have easily killed you but instead you get to stay here with my men and me. Hear that? You get to live. I'll even feed you from time to time. All you have to do is heal us. Simple right? Even a palace whore like you can understand that." He took her hand and put it on his neck where the prince took a small chunk of his skin out.
Amme was obviously afraid. She knew this man was evil and crazed. She was afraid of what they would do to her, how painful it would be. She was afraid to die, like any human would be. But even so, she could not bring herself to heal the enemy. If she did what she was told then she could live, but how could she live with herself if she healed people who would attack her people and kingdom? People who could potentially hurt and kill the royalty? Those who she swore to heal. People who could possible hurt and kill Atsu? She may believe that everyone should be given a right to be cured and healthy, but she would go against her morals when it came to evil men like this. And because of that, perhaps death was not such a bad option. Nobody was coming to rescue her- she was forever lost to them. She wasn't essential enough for people to risk their lives for. She was fine with that- she didn't want people dying for her. Amme looked at Bakura with solid soulless eyes. "My love and loyalty are with my people. Why should I heal a man that would take innocent lives? A man who has no right to bring a person to their final days?" Amme said denying him of his wishes. She took a moment to look around at where she was. It was dark and dank with minimal light coming in. She had no idea where she even was.

Akila wasnt thinking about the deal or that she lost, she was just happy he was ok. She held onto him tightly but he somehow pried her off and shook her shoulders but then she was back into his arms once again. She smiled, she didnt care that she was being yelled at right now. She couldnt help but feel so happy that he was worried about her. Everything he did right now seemed protective. She felt kind of important, and not just for her blood, that hadnt crossed her mind yet either, she really felt like he cared for her. "I'm strong, I wanna help too! A-and I didnt want you to get hurt..." She admitted to being worried about him.
Seth noticed how shook up Jono was and he frowned. He knew how terrifying this all was. Seth smirked when Jono asked why he saved him. "Me? Get hurt? By a couple of low life theives? Yeah right." He brushed it off like it was nothing. "Besides I have to defend my property." Seth said as if it was obvious, trying to avoid any mushy loving talk right now even though his heart was beating fast and he was so happy Jono was ok. Seth then narrowed his eyes, looking around and watching as the theives retreated. "That doesnt make much sense..." He spoke quietly, looking around more carefully and more alert. What was going on? Then something dawned on him. He left the princes! He just left them! He froze, feeling panicked. He glared at Jono. This would be all his fault if they were hurt! He grabbed Jono's hand and started running back to where he left the others. He first found Atsu.
Atsu looked almost crazy, eyes wide, mummbling to himself while ripping his clothes in order to wrap the cloth around his ankle so he could get up. He had to move quickly. So what if the theives already ran off, he would follow, he didnt care how far. He felt a hand on his shoulder and he pulled his dagger, turnign quickly and holding it out at the person. But it was just Seth. Still it took him a minute to be able to put his shaky hand down. "Seth? Jono?" He said.
Seth frowned, feeling bad for the poor boy. He handled war as good as Jono did. "Prince Atsu.... are you ok?"
"They- they-..." He struggled with the words. "They took Amme." He said and his eyes teared up again. He shuffled to his feet, ignoring the pain in his ankle. "We have to go get her!"
"Who? Oh the healer girl..." Seth said. Then after realizing who she was he got angry. "What?!?!?! You just let them walk off with her?!" He yelled at Atsu. He had no right to yell at the princes but he thought this prince was a waste. They greatly depended on the royal heeler! How could he just let the theives take her? No wonder they retreated.
"I know I know!" Atsu yelled at Seth, now getting angry. He was already angry with himself for letting them take her but he didnt need to hear it from Seth.
((Should they all go after her or just Atsu?))

[[Atsu could always bring guards with him. Yea, I think Atem should go, and because he's going Seth would go. Akila should try to convince them to go. I would love to bring her along but there's no way Seth would let her go. I could see Atem letting her go because her magic is so strong and he is confident enough to protect her. Heh, they would make an awesome tag team X3 ]]
Even though nothing happened to her, Atem never realized he could feel so frightened for someone. Not because of what she had to do, but for who she was. He felt frighten and angry at Bakura's men for what they could and would have done to her. Despite all of that, he did like the idea that she didn't want him to get hurt. This wasn't like Akila, but he could tell this was genuine. He said lowly to her, "I know you're strong but..." He stopped himself from saying what he wanted to- he wasn't sure if he could protect her. And he didn't like feeling that way, he felt so weak. He couldn't even match wits with Bakura. Wait! "Where is Bakura?!" Atem exclaimed looking around again. He pulled away from Akila but took her hand- rushing to Seth and Atsu. "Where is Bakura?" he repeated to them. He hadn't seen what happened after he was struck, which he was still in pain from but was more concerned about other things. He then saw the condition his brother was in. "Atsu? Atsu what's wrong?" he asked concerned. His brother looked like a wreck, not physically with the exception of his ankle, but mentally.
Jono actually liked Seth's confidence. He smiled from it, it was the only time that Jono appreciated Seth's strength. He then frown and narrowed his eyes a little when Seth said he was his property. Jono let out a little 'hmf' at first but didn't say anything. "Huh?" Jono asked when Seth mumbled something. "Hey wait!" Jono said as he was dragged a long with Seth. When Atsu pulled the dagger on the two of them Jono jumped back in fear at first. "What?! But.... she was up at the palace when I saw her...." Jono said but then stopped. She was with guards, were they the same ones that chased him. He had to hold his tongue..... if it was his fault for that too he would be executed for sure. s**t, Amme was his friend- sure, he acted like an a** to her when she was younger but he apologized when they were young teens. "The thieves couldn't have gone that far, aren't they on foot?" Jono tried to help and suggest.
"Oh, innocent you say?" Bakura hissed darkly as he took her hand and squeezed tightly. When she winced from the pain he chuckled a little. "I bring justice to the scum of the earth. You palace pigs think that everything is just fine in the outside world. You all live in your fairytale world - you can afford to. Well it isn't. Nobody is innocent in this world, nobody is an exception from torment. Everyone's hearts are dark but you ******** pigs think just because you have gold and power that your hearts are clean," Bakura spoke to her gripping her hand tighter and tighter.
Amme winced more as his grip crushed her hand. "No man has right to bring such judgment to another," she replied to him in a calm matter even though she was in pain.
Bakura quickly took her by her top, picked her up, and tossed her against the wall. She gasped in pain as she made contact and slid down. She sat up against the wall. Bakura came in close again and screamed in her face, "But you and your kingdom pass judgment on others! You can but I can't?!" He then backed away and looked at his men who were chuckling when she was thrown against the wall, "Do you all see this? It's ok when they do it but it's a crime against nature if I do it! Do you see the pig's logic now?" He turned back to her and grabbed her hair near her scalp. He then harshly but with a short snapping movement bashed her head repeatedly into the wall with the same rhythm as he spoke, "Let. Me. Get. This. Through. Your. Head." He then let go of her hair and continued, "Your so called royal blood is as black as ink. The gods are blind to this. All except one, Diabound, my god. And he will make sure your people will suffer for what they did."
Every strike her head made with the wall felt like her head was slowly cracking. Amme was afraid, she was afraid of the pain but wasn't as frightened of death. The only thing that made her fear death was the fact that she would let down her kingdom. It brought her such shame and disappointment in herself. But she could be replaced with advancement in medicine and magic. Someone else could have the same power she had, right? If she died, she wondered if she would meet up with her family in the afterlife. She wondered what death would be like, if it would hurt like this. She was going to die here, but she couldn't bring herself to cry. Shouldn't she be crying and pleading for her life? The only thing that made her feel like crying was when she thought about the last thing she said to Atsu. Amme didn't know what Bakura was talking about, what did they do to him? She didn't try to guess, Bakura was a mad man after all.
Bakura grabbed her wrist and said, "Since you won't heal me, maybe I should cut your veins and drain your blood to use for an elixir. Maybe that could do what you refuse to do," he said as his men hooted and hollared for him to do it.
