Chapter 15: Rourke's arrival/The First Attack/Little People/A Little Fall of Rain/Sayaka's death

That night, the students were wide awake, waiting for news of the army.  Soon enough, Rourke appeared.

"He's back!"  Tristan shouted.

Rourke:  Listen, my friends
I have done as I said
I have been to their lines
I have counted each man
I will tell what I can

Mako lowered his gun.

Better beware
They have armies to spare
And our danger is real
We will need all our cunning
To bring them to heel

Mako opened a makeshift gate and Rourke entered.

Mako:  Have faith!
If you know what their movements are
We'll spoil their game
There are ways that a people can fight
We shall overcome their power!

Rourke:  I have overheard their plans
There will be no attack tonight
They intend to starve you out
Before they start a proper fight

Dash was looking suspiciously at Rourke.

Concentrate their force
Hit us when it's light

"LIAR!"  Dash exclaimed, and everyone turned to him, wondering what he meant.

Dash:  Good evening, dear Lieutenant
Lovely evening, my dear!
I know this man, my friends
His name's Lieutenant Rourke!

At this, all the students immediately seized Rourke.

So don't believe a word he says
Because none of it's true
This only goes to show
What little people can do

Mordecai:  Bravo, little Dash
You're the top of the class

All the students aimed their guns at Rourke.

Joey:  So what are we going to do
With this snake in the grass?

Mako:  Take this man and throw him
In the tavern in there
The people will decide your fate, Lieutenant Rourke!

Rourke:  Shoot me now
Or shoot me later
Every schoolboy to his sport!

Death to each and every traitor!
I renounce your people's court!

"We keep looking forward!"  Yugi said as the students took Rourke into the tavern.

However, once he was in there, Rourke broke free and began fighting them until the students overpowered him and Mako knocked him out with an empty wine bottle.

Just then, they all heard the sounds of marching footsteps and realized the army had arrived.

Immediately, the students took up their positions at the barricade while the citizens took cover in their houses.

As the army arrived, Yugi said, "Hold your fire."

"Front rank, kneel!"  The army officer ordered.

"Save your gunpowder," Mako said.

"Take aim!"  The soldiers aimed at the barricade.

"Get down," Mako said, as the students ducked down.

"Who's there?" The army officer called out.

There was a pause, before Mako answered, "French Revolution!"

"Fire!"  The army officer ordered, and the battle began.

A group of soldiers sneaked toward the barricade.
~

 Meanwhile, Sayaka sneaked closer with a pistol in hand.

"They're coming over the barricades!"  A student shouted, as the group of soldiers began to climb the barricade.

Thinking fast, Yugi grabbed a barrel of gunpowder, as Dash cried, "Yugi!  No!" 
But Yugi ignored him and climbed up the barricade and Sayaka noticed, as Dash yelled, "Yugi, what are you doing?!"  A soldier aimed at Yugi, as Dash cried, "YUGI, WATCH OUT! GET DOWN!"

"NO!"  Sayaka cried, before she ran over, grabbed the soldier's gun, and pointed it at her stomach so she was shot instead.

Yugi grabbed a torch and yelled, "Fall back!"  He hit a soldier with the torch, knocking him down, and pointed his torch at the barrel of gunpowder, as he said, "Fall back, or I blow the barricade!"

"Blow it up and take yourself with it!"  The army officer retorted.

All the students looked concerned, wondering if Yugi had gone off the deep end, as Garry muttered, "Christ."

Mako climbed up, as Yugi said, "And myself with it," and began to lower the torch to the barrel.

The army officer called, "Back!  Back!"

The soldiers retreated and Mako took the torch from Yugi.

As  walked down the stairs, Keiichi said, "What were you thinking, Yugi!? You could have gotten us all killed!"

Yugi ignored him and walked away, until he found Sayaka pulling out the note, as it began to rain.

"Sayaka!? what are you doing?" Yugi asked her.

"I kept it from you," Sayaka said, holding the note out to Yugi.  "It's from Madoka."  Yugi took it from her, as she added, "I'm sorry."

"Sayaka....What have you done?" Yugi asked her, before he pulled her hand away to discover her gun wound.  Sayaka gave him a sad smile as he cradled her in his arms.

Sayaka:  Don't you fret, M'sieur Yugi
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now...

You're here...
That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow...

Yugi tried to make her stay awake.

Yugi:  But you will live, Sayaka-chan
Dear God above!
If I could close your wounds
With words of love

Sayaka:  Just hold me now
And let it be
Shelter me
Comfort me...

So, don't you fret, M'sieur Yugi

Yugi:  Hush-a-bye, dear Sayaka

Both:  I don't/You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me/you now

Yugi smiled gently and hugged her, as he told her, "I'm here."

Sayaka:  That's all I need to know...

Yugi:  And I will stay with you...

Sayaka:  And you will keep me safe...

Yugi:  Till you are sleeping...

Sayaka:  And you will keep me close...
And rain...

Yugi:  And rain...

Sayaka:  Will make the flowers...

Yugi:  Will make the flowers

At that moment, Sayaka closed her eyes and died in his arms.

Grow...

Tears fell down Dash's cheeks, as Yugi kissed her on her forehead.  A single tear rolled down Mako's cheek, before Mordecai took Sayaka from Yugi's arms and carried her inside to the tavern, as Yugi opened Madoka's letter and read it.
~


A moment later, Yugi came out with a sheet of paper and found Dash inside of a little chest at the barricade.

"Dash, will you do something for me?" Yugi asked him, as Dash looked up.

"Anything, Yug" Dash said.  "Without you, I'd have bitten the dust."
 Dash reveals to everyone that Rourke is a spy and they aprehend him, the army attacks, one soldier nearly shots Yugi but Sayaka interferences getting the shot instead...

:rose::iconsadplz: :iconaloneplz:
Sayaka and Eponine
Both equally tragic characters who died of unrequited love...

Sayaka dies in Yugi's arms, who gets the letter from Madoka and asks Dash to do a delivery...
