Me: Hey everyone! Shadow here to bring you my latest story! Just to let you know this is a SetoxOC story so just giving you a heads up. Oh, also, I'm going to be introducing some new friends at the end of the chapter! Enjoy!

~IMPORTANT MESSAGE~

7/27/2017: Sweet lord this story is so old, Ciel is such an MS, and good GOD what was I thinking with the pokemon/yugioh crossover? I APOLOGIZE XD

Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh, or Pokemon. But I do own the plot and my OC, Sylvia/Ciel.

First breath: Banished

Ciel struggled and screeched as loud and as hard as she could as they dragged her off to receive judgment from Arceus. As the beast growled loudly in the iron muzzle Dialga had forced her into, Dialga and Palkia threw her in the middle of a large room, the Hall of Origin. She growled and snarled at them for doing so until she noticed a large looming shadow overcome her. Quickly she regained she position to find herself staring into the cold, glaring eyes of Arceus.

Ciel returned with her own cold glare, but it was no doubt that Arceus could sense the fear within the dragon.

"How could I let myself get captured like this?" She thought angrily "I was unusually sloppy the day that Cresselia ambushed me. I could've easily fought her off, I was strong enough, but what I didn't expect was four of the legendary dragons to be with her. Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram and Zekrom. True I was powerful, but never in a thousand years could I fight back their combined forces alone."

Ciel breathed in and out heavily and loudly in the iron device. She flinched slightly when Arceus slowly started to approach her.

"Ciel… The fifth member of the Council of Darkness. I never expected for you to be caught so easily." Arceus said as he stopped in front of her.

"I CANNOT be caught so easily! Luck was just on your side…" She growled at the Pokémon Deity.

Arceus shook his white-colored head. "To think that someone as vile and cold-hearted as you is the sister of Rayquaza."

The dragon flinched again when Arceus mentioned her brother.

"Ciel, I've grown very tired of you and the COD plotting and trying to envelop both our world and the world of the humans in darkness." Arceus growled.

"With or without me, the Council of Darkness will destroy ALL OF YOU!" Ciel screamed at Arceus.

Arceus roared as he reared up and slammed is front legs down, causing the entire extent to rumble, much like an earthquake. And causing Ciel to draw back in fear.

"Ciel, as punishment for your wicked deeds, I sentence you to be stripped of your powers, memory, and your form. And be banished to live in the realm of the humans!" Arceus roared.

Ciel couldn't believe what she was hearing. For a legendary to be stripped of its power and banished to live with humans was the worst dishonor and punishment to a Pokémon.

She didn't have a split-second to say something in return when Arceus released his move, Judgment, upon her.

Ciel was engulfed in white, blinding lights. She screeched out in pain as she felt her blood veins burst within her, her gene structure consorting, twisting to something unknown to Ciel, mutating her, changing her into something else. She felt herself slipping away bit by bit, her power, her memory, her sanity fading from her body.

Finally, Ciel believed her time was up. Everything was so bright, so blinding, it threw her off track of what was happening to her.

"So bright… So bright…"

She struggled to keep her consciousness, but she was failing.

"Too bright…"

Her breaths became shallow, her vision became blurry.

"So blinding…"

The pain was un-bearable. Ciel felt the torture of a thousand deaths.

"Kill me now…"

As hard as she tried, Ciel couldn't fight it. She couldn't hold it back any longer.

"The light, too harsh… The pain, too much…"

The weakened beast felt her last shred of power escape her grasp, as the blinding white light grew fainter, Ciel's world faded into darkness.

. . .

Arceus watched carefully as the light enveloped the dragon, altering her genes to match that of an ordinary human. After the process was done, there remained two sparking, swirling lights; A bright, pale yellow light on the left, which harbored Ciel. On the right, a shining white light, harboring Ciel's essence.

Once again, Arceus reared back, and with a final cry, cast them both to a world below. He watched silently as both white and yellow light circled each other in a funnel, then separated from their spiral and shot in opposite directions in the storming weather underneath.

"Ciel…" Arceus sighed silently to himself "It is only when you have learned to love and to care, only then can you be allowed to reign once again with us."

Without another word, he walked away. But he couldn't help but wonder what things Ciel will learn in the city known as Domino…

. . .

The thunder roared and lightning flashed constantly.

"This is by far one of the worst thunder storms that's hit Domino City." The TV reported said as Mokuba watched with worry.

"I hope Seto makes it home okay…" He said as he looked out the window to the lightning filled sky.

Meanwhile, a black limo was driving down the flooded streets. Inside, a man known as Seto Kaiba tapped his foot impatiently on the floor board. Due to the storm, it was taking twice as long to get back to the Kaiba mansion.

As the limo stopped at a red light, something compelled Seto to look out the car window. He saw what he always saw when he was going back to the Kaiba mansion on a stormy night; lightning flashing and rain hitting the black metal hard. But what he'd never seen before was a bright spot in the sky, as if something was coming through the black clouds quickly.

He had lost his interest and was about to turn away, when a huge strike of yellow lightning hit the woods outside of town, making a tremendous crushing sound and causing Kaiba to put his hand over his ears.

Millions of both Domino City civilians and those around the world watching the weather saw this. All the people at the Domino Airport who witnessed it on TV were bustling and chattering to one another with worry.

Seto's eyes widened ever so slightly with shock as he saw smoke rising far away from the tall pine trees. He watch silently out of the corner of his eye as the driver continued down the street. Oddly enough, a few minutes after the lightning strike the storm started to let up.

By and by the rain slowed until it was completely over. The lightning and thunder stopped and the black clouds thinned until the gentle light of the moon and stars began to shine through.

Many people were surprised, confused, and relieved. Weather reporters were going mad back at head quarters, and delayed plane flights were back on schedule. Seto took in a deep breath and continued on as if nothing happened.

. . .

The dimmed embers crackled as they faded into residue, while the wind blew gently through the disturbed tree leaves. Half burnt trees were scattered all over the blackened earth. Rocks were thrown aside and various small forest animals, such as rabbits, birds and squirrels, littered the ground as nothing but black bones and smoking remnants of flesh and fur.

But in the middle of the smoking, disturbed disaster scene was a motionless figure. A young woman with at least an age of twenty, with curly blonde hair and pale gold eyes.

But this "mask" of hers did a well job of concealing her true dark nature that's been torn from her soul. For is someone saw her now, how could they sustain the knowledge that this strange, frail woman was once Ciel, the fifth member of the Council of Darkness?

Me: Hello again! Hope that chapter was better. If Ciel still sounds like a Mary Sue, please don't hesitate to inform me. Also, here are my sweet little disclaimers!

Sonic exe: WHAT did you just call me?!

Me: I just called you and Seto my "sweet little disclaimers."

Seto: In what world are we 'sweet'...?

Me: I think you're sweet!

Sonic exe: I'm going to kill you for that.

Me: Whatever. Ieomis would just snap your game CD in half if you did...

Sonic exe: ...

Seto: Please Read and Review.
