Here we are first one of my Anubis saga. Please enjoy reading. I OWN NOTHING. I just remember watching the movie and was like… what if they failed? Expect more!

Domino city, a one large bustling city now lay in ruins. Sky scrapers had been torn down by dragons, people had been eaten and destroyed by demons and the city was silent. People had fled to the countryside or even other countries but it seemed the devastation was spreading. The once harmless childrens card game came to life, a card at a time.

Anubis ruled and after the tragic capture of the pharaoh and yugi there seemed no hope left. Dead was beginning to cling to the world and there seemed to be no hope.

In the subways military and remaining civilians lived and thrived. Desperately clinging to survival, but things were beginning to quickly break apart. Those that could survive thought of themselves and nothing else, those that were cruel in card games didn't change and it was rumoured some had even managed to control there own monsters. It was looking grim and Anubis's shadow hung heavy over the city, he stayed in a castle that had been built on top of an old sky scraper high above the city, it made the people feel like they were being watched no matter where they hid.

The interior was decorated with Egyptian symbols but was almost like an old castle from a book, red carpet covered the floor, but apart from that nothing glamorous. There in a room was some sort of throne, skulls made up the entire throne and it almost glowed with red, blood looked as if they were spilling out of the throne itself drenching the floor but the red blended it.

"Release me!" cried an enraged husky toned voice. A large soldier walked in, thick black and gold armour and a large sword and shield held in one hand. A helmet covered his eyes and long red trailed behind his head. Bakura struggled to no avail at the soldiers grip on his waist, he'd been hanging there for about 30 minutes as the soldier had brought him to this weird place, Bakura frowned and glared looking around the room. Bruises covered his body and he had a few cuts on his arms. His clothes had been torn and he had holes in his trousers, Ryou was unconscious while he was in control, it was easier to force him to sleep it meant there was less arguments and Ryou knew nothing when he awoke.

Bakura's face met the floor as he was thrown down and he growled glaring at the soldier, but the soldier left without a second thought. Bakura scanned the room rubbing his forehead, his hosts body was getting beaten up today with all this running and falling and throwing, he wondered if the body could take it. He stood slowly as his legs shook from pain, he hadn't eaten and was exhausted, well his host was anyway at the moment Ryou could feel no pain but later he'd feel it for sure.

Bakura looked around looking for an exit of some sort but nothing not even a window, an odd sight made him freeze though it was a sarcophagus. It was stood by the throne and it had the face of a pharaoh on the front, so it was meant for the resting place of a pharaoh. Bakura gasped and he touched the front of the Egyptian coffin, embedded in the front was the millennium puzzle! It was fully complete and was in a hole in the front, it was an pharaohs coffin so… maybe. Bakura suddenly hit the sarcophagus "pharaoh? Pharoah can you hear me?" he shouted, he grabbed onto the puzzle and attempted at a pull only to let go and fall back in pain, he looked down to his hands, they were burnt with black magic, this was bad.

The sarcophagus started to shake a little and he was sure he heard something, but it was too muffled to hear properly.

"well it seems you waste no time in snooping" A booming voice chuckled coldly making Bakura jump and scramble to his feet standing tall in defiance though his legs felt like jelly at the sight, he recognised him, that feeling that dreadful feeling and look. The god even he feared.

"Anubis the Egyptian god of the dead…" he murmured, a shiver was see able making Anubis grin, he was tall with blonde slicked back hair and he wore old Egyptian sorcerer clothes that really brought back memories. He cape followed but didn't see to touch the floor, it looked like pure black fire clinging to Anubis like the darkness, Bakura considered himself part of the darkness but Anubis was on a whole different level to him, the blue pyramid that pointed to the sky was hanging around his neck, the pure opposite of the millennium puzzle.

"so you are the reason for all of this madness!" Bakura cried out glaring. Anubis grinned and looked down to the thief

"I see no reason for you to be so angry, was this not your goal as well? The great thief failure Bakura" he said chuckling to himself. Bakura glared defiantly at him and he clenched his fist

"My goal was to gather the millennium items and bring forth the ultimate darkness Zorc, so we might rule this pathetic world and bring the past and the present together to bring the ultimate revenge… but this is not what I want you are no ruler Anubis you should be back underground where you belong!" he shouted. Anubis had hit a nerve at calling him a failure and Anubis knew it.

"Your name proceeds you, though the pharaoh is deep within history the world knows nothing of you, but I do. You have sent many souls to the shadow realm and I thank you for it, some were very powerful while others were weak and puny, I worry that you've lost your touch, you seem to have become soft to this world" Anubis said smirking.

Bakura glared and looked to the millennium puzzle, then Anubis "I have simply been too busy avoiding your monsters!" he crossed his arms trying to show confidence but it was obvious he wasn't sure how to get out of this one. Anubis decided to carry on winding him up, for it was easy if he picked the right topic.

"It's a shame not everyone knows of the tomb thief Bakura and his biggest failures" he said grinning "The pharaoh and his works are in books, him and his amazing leadership-"

"Shut your mouth!" snapped Bakura, his fist was shaking as he tried his best not to allow it to get to him. "That man has no good reason to be in books… he is nothing but a murderer"

Anubis laughed and pointed to the sarcophagus "You want payback? He is inside there, experiencing what I had to, his host is gone I have him somewhere else but I have a surprise just for you" he said smirking, he suddenly grabbed Bakura's shirt and ripped it open.

Bakura gasped and backed away falling back on his ass and he gritted his teeth, the ring was embedded in his chest to make sure Ryou wouldn't remove it but when fingers clasped around it Bakura realised too late what was happening. Pain wrecked his body as Anubis slowly pulled the spike free bringing up his skin, he fell forward to his knees and his body was shaking against his will.

"no stop!" he cried but it was too late, the world was going black as slowly the spikes slid from his chest, blood seeped down his torso on the floor and the darkness was seeping into his head. Bakura was losing grip on Ryou and he noticed Ryou was waking up! Ryou was screaming inside of him, in agony and he thought to the other 'I apologize… but you are in for agony' then he disappeared and Ryou collapsed to the floor, blood pooling over the floor from the holes in his chest. He shook and layed asleep taken over by darkness.
