"Where did that boy go!" hissed Khedebneithireretbeneret (Isis for short)
under her breath as she ran through the streets of Thebs. (I don't know
what the place's name was where Yami ruled. ^.^;;; Whoops.)
Khedebneithireretbeneret was 16 year-old local street kid. Her parents had
died when she was only ten and left her to take care of her three-year-old
brother Denger. As she searched the local streets she noticed Halgar and
stopped at his cart. "Hey Halgar! Have you seen Denger?"
"Not lately, I thought I saw him head to the palace, Isis." Replied Halgar.
"Oh, no! Thanks Halgar! Talk to ya later!" Said Khedebneithireretbeneret as she ran off towards the palace.
Khedebneithireretbeneret scaled the palace wall and when she reached the top there looked like there was no guards around so she jumped down and crept across the palace grounds. She ran across the grounds silently so if there were guards around they couldn't hear her. She looked behind here to see if there was anyone following here and when she turned back around she came face to face with two of the palace guards. They were both huge and built. "Look, Borak, it's that street mouse that's always causing trouble." Snarled one of the guards.
"And she's trespassing, Gyorg." said Borak. Gyorg reached down to grab her arm, but Khedebneithireretbeneret was to fast for him and took off in the other direction towards the wall she scaled to get into the grounds. She jumped up and jumped onto the other side. She took off into the busy streets. She looked back and saw the guards were trailing her.
She looked back in front of her she noticed Denger. As she ran by she picked him up and kept running. "Hey Isis! What are you doing! I was having fun!" yelled Denger.
"We have a little bit of trouble right now, Denger," retorted Khedebneithireretbeneret. "Your games can wait till after we get away from the palace guards."
"Why are you running from the guards?" asked Denger.
"I was looking for YOU! You left without telling me where you were going!" snapped Khedebneithireretbeneret. She spotted Halgar's cart again. "Hey Halgar! Can you cover for me while I get back to the hideout?"
"I got you covered, Kido," said Halgar. "But you owe me big, Isis." Replied Halgar.
"Don't worry 'bout it Halgar!" said Khedebneithireretbeneret as she ran passed him. She looked back and saw Halgar stop the two guards and tried to sell them some stuff. She reached the place where her and Denger stayed, dropped him and plumped down onto the floor. "Don't make me search for me again. Got that?"
"Yeah, I got it." Said Denger. "Isis! They're behind you!"
Khedebneithireretbeneret jumped up and headed for the window. There was a wooded plank that led to the roof that was across from them. "Get across, Denger! GO!" yelled Khedebneithireretbeneret.
Denger complied and ran across the plank. Khedebneithireretbeneret was about to go across when Gyorg grabbed her. "Isis!" screamed Denger.
Khedebneithireretbeneret struggled with Gyorg's grip and managed to kick the plank off the ledge. After she did that she calmed down. "Denger . . . go . . . don't worry 'bout me, I'll be fine." Lied Khedebneithireretbeneret.
"But . . . but—" stammered Denger.
"Run along little boy. You better or we'll get you too." Hissed Borak.
Denger watched the guards haul his sister to the palace. When they were out of sight, the nine-year-old boy slumped to the ground and began to cry.
Gyorg and Borak slapped shackles on Khedebneithireretbeneret and hauled her into the thrown room. Sitting on the thrown was Yami. His arms were crossed and he looked extremely bored. "What is you want?!" demanded Yami.
The guards kneeled before Yami and pulled Khedebneithireretbeneret down with them. "This is that street mouse that has been disrupting the rest of the city, Pharaoh." Said Borak.
"And we wish for you to give her the punishment of death." Added Gyorg.
Yami looked Khedebneithireretbeneret over. "Well," he rose from his throne and studied her. "What has she done wrong, Borak?"
"Well, you highness, she's been thieving through out Thebs. And since we caught her finally, we can get her to pay the city back with her life." Stated Borak.
"Rise, girl," Hissed Yami. Khedebneithireretbeneret rose and glared at Yami. "What is your name, if I may ask."
"Khedebneithireretbeneret, Pharaoh." snarled Khedebneithireretbeneret She taunted the word.
"Khedebneithireretbeneret, eh?" questioned Yami. He looked her over again and sighed. "I guess you wouldn't agree to be my personal slave would you."
Khedebneithireretbeneret snorted. "As if that would ever happen, you damn bastard!" hissed Khedebneithireretbeneret. "I would kill you, before you could order me to do anything!"
Yami shook his head and sighed. He turned from Khedebneithireretbeneret and sat back down in his thrown. "Do what you want with her, there's a cursed pyramid out side of the city. Send her there." Ordered Yami.
"As you wish, your highness." Said Borak. There was a hint of glee in his voice. He bowed respectively and left the throne room.
"The cursed pyramid . . . that place is pure evil . . . is it safe?" asked Gyorg.
"Since it's cursed . . . no, it's not." Replied Borak.
Good-bye Denger . . . take care of your self, Kido. Thought Khedebneithireretbeneret.
~~~~
After about a three-hour walk later Khedebneithireretbeneret, Borak, and Gyorg walked up to a huge golden pyramid. "whoa . . . that's huge . . ." said Khedebneithireretbeneret.
Borak pulled her over to the door. Over it was a warning. It read: Only one other then the Guardian of this pyramid may enter, anymore and the sea of hungry darkness will consume them.
Borak picked Khedebneithireretbeneret up and threw into the pyramid. Khedebneithireretbeneret got up and tried to run out, but Gyorg and Borak grabbed and ran back into the pyramid. Suddenly a voice boomed over everything. "More then one entered!" boomed the voice. "Those shall die!"
There was a scratching noise coming from behind them. Khedebneithireretbeneret knew what it was just by the sound it made. She noticed a ledge and jumped to it. She saw a wave of black coming at the guards. "Have fun boys, those are scarabs and they eat your flesh."
The two guards scrambled for the door but there was a shield thingy infront of it. They turned and got swarmed by the wave of Scarabs. Their screams echoed through the desert. The swarm of Scarabs scurried away back deep into the pyramid. Khedebneithireretbeneret sat on the ledge thinking about what she was going to do. Out of the blue there was a pain in her right wrist. She looked down and saw a Scarab bury its way into her arm. The pain was excruciating. She reached down to her waist to grab her dagger but the Scarab changed its route to her brain to her chest. Suddenly all the pain stopped.
The booming voice came back. "The Guardian of the pyramid has been chosen. You Khedebneithireretbeneret, have been chosen."
"Who the Hell are you?" demanded Khedebneithireretbeneret.
"Uh . . . er . . . none of your business." Replied the voice. "Watch over this pyramid well, Khedebneithireretbeneret. You will be rewarded." Then the voice disappeared and never spoke again.
A Millennium and a bit later
Yugi, Joey, Tea and Tristen were walking down a busy sidewalk of Thebs. They had arrived there the day before. "There are so many people here." Exclaimed Tea.
"And probably a lot of duelers too." Said Tristen.
"But we're not here to duel, Tristen," said Yugi. "We're here to find out why all those people have been disappearing." (Don't ask me why some one would call THEM . . . . they just did! Okay!)
"We know." Said Joey.
They had all arrived at a local laboratory and talked to the scientist that contacted them. "Thank you for coming on such short notice," said the Scientist. "I'm Karen. Let's get down to business. The people that have gone missing are mostly duelers and a few civilians. The total missing are 32 right now."
"When did they start to go missing?" asked Tea.
"About a year ago, but the number dramatically increased over the passed few weeks." Replied Karen.
"Do you have any idea of the point where they went missing?" asked Joey.
"An ancient pyramid out side of the city," said Karen. "When my people went to check it out, they also went missing."
"We'll start there and if we don't find anything, we'll come back here," said Tristen. "But if we're not back in three days, just wait longer."
Three hours of Joey complaining of how much his feet hurt from walking later, they arrived at the pyramid. It looked untouched to time. "Talk about huge much," Stated Joey as he approached it. He looked up to the top and walked into the pyramid. "It's freezin' in here!"
Yugi changed into Yami and walked up to the pyramid door. Wait a minute . . . this pyramid . . . but she's long dead now . . . but there's the scarab beetles . . . OH SHIT! Panicked Yami. "Joey get out of there! It's dangerous!"
"How? It's a gazillion years old . . . what should I be afraid of? Dust?" laughed Joey.
"This is a cursed pyramid, it'll consume anyone who enters it!" yelled Yami.
"Maybe you should leave that pyramid before you get hurt, Joey," Said Tea. Joey ignored her. "Are you listening Joey?"
"Shut up! There's singing coming from in there," Said Joey. Yami began to tell him not to go anywhere and just leave when Joey interrupted him. "I'll be fine Yami, I'm a big boy now, I can take care of myself." He turned his back and began to walk away.
"JOEY!" yelled Tristen. Joey just kept walking.
Joey kept following the singing when he came to fork in one of the chambers. Which way to go. Pondered Joey. There was a glint of light from the tunnel to his right. "Right it is." He walked down the tunnel and the singing got louder. He entered a small room at the end of the tunnel. There was a small fire and a girl sitting with her back turned.
She stopped singing, but didn't face him. "Welcome to my pyramid, Joey." Said the girl.
"How did you know my name? Who are you?" demanded Joey.
"The way that I know your name is my business. I am Khedebneithireretbeneret the Guardian of this pyramid." Said Khedebneithireretbeneret.
"Khed . . . what?" asked Joey with a confused look on his face.
Khedebneithireretbeneret chuckled. "Khedebneithireretbeneret," she stood and faced him. "My friends called me Isis."
Joey looked her over. She was wearing the old Egyptian clothes, but the torn and worn out. Damn! She's hot! "Yea, sure Isis," said Joey. "Why are you the Guardian, you look a little young for that kinda job."
"I'm a lot older then I look. And I didn't choose to be the guardian, I was forced." Said Khedebneithireretbeneret. Joey gave her a puzzled look. "I've been in this pyramid for over a Millennium, and the reason for that is because Yami, the Pharaoh of Thebs, banished me here! And the last I heard of him, he was locked in a puzzle."
"Yami sent you here? Go figure! My friend Yugi has the puzzle that he's stuck in and lets him out of it a lot." Explained Joey.
"WHAT?! THAT'S UNFAIR! I WANT OUT OF THIS PYRAMID!!" yelled Khedebneithireretbeneret.
Joey covered his ears. "Why don't you just leave?" asked Joey. "And please don't yell."
"Whoops sorry. I can't leave, I—" Khedebneithireretbeneret was cut off by a scratching noise coming towards them. "Oh no!"
"What's 'oh no'?" asked Joey cautiously. He saw her jump onto a local ledge. "HEY! What about me?"
"Well, don't just stand there. GET UP HERE!!" yelled Khedebneithireretbeneret. She saw the swarm of scarabs heading towards Joey. She reached her hand to him. "Here! Grab hold," Joey grabbed her hand and Khedebneithireretbeneret pulled him up. He was about to speak when she clapped her hand over his mouth. Her voice was barely over a whisper. "Don't speak, don't even move."
Joey listened to the warning and didn't speak or move. After a moment Khedebneithireretbeneret let him go and looked over the edge. After seeing nothing she jumped down. Joey followed. "What the Hell just happened?" demanded Joey.
"There—" She was cut off by Joey screaming and jumping around.

Tenchi: That's it for now
Joey: thank GOD! I hate those bug things!
Khedebneithireretbeneret: At least you don't have to live with them. *dust cloud fight ensues*
Tenchi: Bye peeps! ^.~
"Not lately, I thought I saw him head to the palace, Isis." Replied Halgar.
