Well, well I see that you have ventured into my fabulous layer of doom where yet another story by the fabulous Bakurafangurl91 has blown up your story alerts. This time we have not Casteshipping but…DARKSHIPPING yes, I know! I am so excited too! So if y'all don't like Darkshipping then why the fuck are you even on my page to begin with? Obviously I like YamiXBakura as a pairing why else would I have written King of Thieves and Impossibly Yours? Haha now then, I should point out a few things before we start:
This story has a lot of scenery changes so be mindful of that
This story is set in Bakura's POV but when he's not around it's Normal POV
This story is set in the Doma arc so if you have some issue with that season then why are you even on here?
There will be hints of Puzzleshipping in here, that is pretty obvious in this season and though I do adore that pairing I do NOT write on it, that's for my friend Lauren aka s2Teennovelist to do, I suck at that pairing!
This is Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura, I usually write on the Thief King but not this time I've been DYING to write on the BEAUTIFUL Yami Bakura (yes I just called him beautiful because he is!) so if you don't like Yami Yugi or Yami Bakura well then oh well!
Anyways, I hope y'all enjoy!
Dedications: To my wonderful, amazing friend Lauren who has stuck by me since my very first story on here and has helped me both in the Fanfic world and in RL thank you so much girl *hugs* I hope you enjoy this story! To my amazing friend Shadow Spirit Dragon-Wolf who gave me the idea of using Zorc in my story Impossibly Yours, thank you so much girl! *hugs*
Well then, I think it's time to get this show on the road!

Summary:
What if Bakura was captured by Dartz?
Something strange is going on in Domino City and Bakura wants to know what, after finding out that a group of bikers tries to steal the soul of the Pharaoh, he lets Ryou take over, allowing him to get closer to Yugi and his friends, but on the way to America, where Yami and the others are, Ryou meets up with Dartz who promises him he can have all the friends in the world if he gives him the darkness that controls him…
And Ryou agrees.

Prologue: Strange Occurrences
Darkness
It ruled the hearts of men, it made us in pure. But one man was going to change it all.
Dartz.
The blue-green haired man kneeled in front of his alter which was made of stone and had three snakes lined up, praying to his God: The Great Levithan. He had waited long enough; it was time to capture the chosen duelists. But it wouldn't be enough. No, he needed to capture someone else, the darkness itself.
Dartz stood up, watching the world with the help of the Orichalcos, who had shown him that the world was full of hate and darkness. He was chosen by the great power to wipe everyone out and start over again.
He was close, the Great Levithan just needed a few more souls and then she would be ready to grace the earth with her might and cleanse it of its impurities. The 10,000 year old king of Atlantis had to make sure that his plan didn't fail. First, though, he needed the God cards.
"Raphael, Allister, Valon" he said not averting his gaze from the alter.
The three men arrived.
"Yes your greatness?" they asked bowing down before their boss. Dartz was not only the king of the ancient city of Atlantis but also the president of the company Pardius, who owned a share of every company in the world.
Dartz turned toward his followers.
"The time has come" Dartz said. "You will locate Yugi Muto and bring me the God cards. I want the soul of the Pharaoh"
"We have Guru already working everything out sir" Raphael said still bowing.
"Excellent" Dartz said smirking "Well" he said turning toward the statue again "I sense two souls have been captured"
"Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood" Allister said.
Dartz turned back toward the three men and nodded.
"I will control their minds to let the Pharaoh and his friends know that they're no longer the winners" Dartz said "Now, go! Get me the God cards and make sure Guru Duels the Pharaoh"
"Yes sir" the three men exclaimed at once.
They left the room and headed onto their motorcycles.
Dartz turned back to the statue, waiting patiently for Guru to send him the soul of the Pharaoh, He needed his soul in order for the great beast to arise once again to swallow the darkness and shed light onto the world.
The world had been corrupted with darkness; everything had been perfect in Atlantis, until the Orichalcos stones rained upon his kingdom, showing him the truth of his people. It showed him that everyone was the same that human beings spent all of their lives pretending to be light but in reality, they were nothing but darkness.
He had manipulated the lives of Raphael, Allister and Valon, he knew he couldn't do this alone; 10,000 years of capturing souls alone had begun to take its toll on the 10,000 year old king. So he would use those fools to his advantage.
Allister would take care of Kaiba, one of the chosen duelist, because Dartz had made Allister believe that Kaiba's stepfather, Gozoboro Kaiba had killed his little brother, when in reality it was Dartz all along.
Valon would always be jealous of Joey Wheeler, another chosen duelist because of his love for Mai Valentine, who Dartz had tricked into joining his side for power. Valon had grown up in a detention center and Dartz took him out.
Raphael had a perfect life and Dartz steered the ship he was on right into a storm where everyone had died but him. He used the time on the island to become a stronger duelist; he had this in the bag.
But there was someone else that he needed: Ryou Bakura.

Yami stood in front of the Tablet of Lost Memories in the basement of the Domino Museum. His friends: Tea Gardner, Tristan Taylor and Joey Wheeler stood behind him waiting. Slowly, he held up the God cards, making them face the tablet.
Nothing happened.
"Hey man, are you sure that you don't need anything else?" Joey asked.
Yami blinked, puzzled that nothing was happening.
"Ishizu said that all I needed was the Puzzle and the God cards, maybe I'm not doing something right" Yami said mostly to himself.
Suddenly, a sharp, burning pain shot through the former Pharaoh's arm. He fell to his knees, clutching his arm. The God cards sent off a black stream of power, the Tablet of Lost Memories, was frozen.
"Hey what's going on?" Tristan shouted
The friends dropped down beside of Yami to see if he was okay.
"I'm not sure" Yami replied "I feel as though all of the power of the Egyptian Gods is being taken"
"You need to drop those cards, Yams" Joey advised.
Screams were heard, Yami pocketed the cards and the group rushed outside to see Duel Monsters roaming the city.
"Someone's duel disk just went haywire" Joey said.
"It would take more than one ruptured duel disk to project monster holograms all over the city" Tea pointed out. "There's only one person who has the technology to do this"
"Kaiba" the group said in unison.
"We need to pay him a visit" Yami said.
The group headed toward KaibaCorp HQ when they arrived there was a mob of people trying to get in.
"I guess we'll have to wait" Tristan said.
The group went back to Yugi's house on the way back they ran into Rex and Weevil.
"The end is near" Weevil said half in a daze.
"Soon, your souls will be fed to the great beast" Rex added.
"These two are crazy" Joey said.
"Let's go" Tristan said.
They went back to Yugi's house and watched the press conference, where Kaiba claimed that he was not responsible for the monster sightings.
"Well who else would have the technology to do such a thing?" Tristan asked.
"Unless of course, those monsters we're seeing aren't holograms" Tea said.
"You know Tea, I was just thinking the same thing" Yami said.
There was a crash heard throughout the apartment, Yugi gained control when he saw his grandfather lying on the ground in the game shop.
"Grandpa!" Yugi cried running to his grandfather's aid, he knelt down beside of the old man.
"They're gone" Solomon said
"What's gone?" Yugi asked.
"Your strongest cards" Solomon replied "They took your strongest cards"
Yugi's eyes widened.
"We'll get them back, grandpa" Yugi said standing up he and the others ran out the door.
"Be careful" Solomon shouted.
The group ran trying to find the God cards; they were stopped by three men on motorcycles.
"If you want your God cards you're going to have to duel us" Valon said.
"And we're not known for playing nice" Raphael added. "We need to capture the soul of the pharaoh"
'No way how does he know about the pharaoh?' Yugi asked himself.
The group of bikers made Yugi and his friends follow them to a peer.
"Give me back the God cards" Yami shouted having switched with Yugi.
"You're going to have to duel me for them Pharaoh" a man shouted.
"Why don't you come down here and face us like a man?" Joey shouted.
"Very well" the man said.
He jumped off the ledge onto the peer.
"It's time that I take your soul" he said.

[Bakura's POV]:
Battle City was over…
And I was back!
Now nothing could stand in my way of killing the pharaoh once and for all! I had waited long enough, I had helped Marik, but it backfired. That's what I get for trying to help someone! Well, never again! This time I would be the one who would gain the power of the world.
I sat on the couch, flipping through the channels trying to find something to watch on TV. Of course, like always, nothing to cause me to avert my attention, so I turned the TV off and threw the remote across the room, the batteries came out of it, but I didn't care, Ryou could clean the mess up. I had better things to do anyways.
I sat up staring at the glass table in front of me; I had been through this once before. I knew that I needed all seven Millennium Items and I only had one: The Millennium Eye. Thanks to that fool, Marik, the Pharaoh had my Millennium Ring; I needed to get it back, but how?
Someone was bound to want the God cards, I'm sure Yugi would keep the items together with the cards. So I would just have to wait until they struck before I saved Yugi his precious cards, then I'd take back my Millennium Ring. The perfect plan.
But I needed something else as well. The Pharaoh was bound to use the Gods when he went to gain his memories, so therefore I would need the power of Kaiba's Blue-eyes White Dragon, but I would have to duel him for it. That's where Mokuba would come in.
But it was too early to try and do any of this now, it wasn't time for the pharaoh to gain his memories back, so I would wait and make my plan come into play. The game needed to be just right, and I had to collect the tools for it.
Suddenly, I heard screams. I walked outside and gasped: Duel Monsters were all over the city.
"Well, it looks like someone wants to have fun as well" I said with a smirk.
I walked further into the city; people were running around screaming, were these fools that afraid? Pathetic if you asked me! They expect someone to rescue them; it's too bad that whatever this person was planning was going to fail. Only I would be the one to plummet the world into total darkness.
Later that night…
So Kaiba wasn't responsible for the monster sightings. I figured as much, were those fools that blind? These monsters were real! Whoever was doing this was pretty smart, making it appear as though Seto Kaiba was the one responsible. Ha! Those fools better look again.
"Look, it's Obelisk, Slifer and Ra!" Joey Wheeler's annoying flap shouted.
My eyes widened, they were several feet in front of me, but they never took notice that I was near them. So the God cards had been stolen eh? Well that wouldn't do. I would have to gain them back wouldn't I?
The Pharaoh and his followers followed three men on motorcycles, so those were the fools that stole the Gods hmm? Well, I would have to steal them back wouldn't I? No one messes with the Pharaoh but me!
I followed them with ease; standing off to the side in the shadows I watched the duel.
"I have in my hand a card that's older than time itself" the man said "The Seal of Orichalcos!" he shouted.
Suddenly, a bright green light surrounded the area; the Pharaoh and the man were surrounded in a green bubble. What was going on here? The Pharaoh's followers were thrown backwards.
"My friends!" he shouted running to their aid, but he hit the bubble instead.
"Let that be a lesson" the man said "only by winning this duel can you penetrate the seals borders, the loser will have their soul captured"
So these fools captured people's souls eh? But how…it didn't make any sense! Well I wasn't too worried about it; the Pharaoh would figure something out. I needed him to win all of his duels, I didn't want a sissy opponent, and I wanted him to be just as strong as he was when we fought in Egypt. I didn't need these fools taking my glory!
"You should know that I'm no stranger to magic" The Pharaoh said turning around, tapping into the power of the Millennium Puzzle, but then, his power faded.
"Wha-?" he gasped eyes widened in shock. Mine did the same.
What was going on here?
"The Seal of Orichalcos was created long before the sands of Egypt were even born Pharaoh!" the man shouted.
What did he mean? Surely this card wasn't created that long ago? The Pharaoh and I were both ancient spirits, living in Egypt 3,000 years ago. Unless, that stone around his neck had something to do with it.
The duel continued, it wasn't looking too good for the Pharaoh for a while, but I knew he'd gain the leverage here soon. He summoned Valkerian the Magna Warrior.
"The only monster that can defeat Valkerian is an Egyptian God" Wheeler announced; then he covered his mouth with his hands.
The man just smirked.
"Yes Pharaoh, I'm going to destroy you, with your own card" he said.
"No! Please!" he begged "Only certain people can control the Gods, don't do it!"
The man's smirk only grew wider. He summoned Obelisk and wiped out Valkerian.
"Well, it looks like this card allows idiots to control the Gods at will, maybe I should get my hands on this card" I said to myself.
I watched the duel more intently, I needed to know this cards power so I could claim it for myself. The card allowed the duelist's monsters to have an extra 500 attack points, it was immune to all magic and trap cards that tried to wipe it off the field, the Millennium Puzzle couldn't get rid of it and it allowed the player to have up to ten monsters in play at once?
That was my kind of card!
My smirk widened when the man dueling the Pharaoh had lost. Ha! That fool should have known not to mess with the Pharaoh! That was my job and my job alone No one would be messing with the Pharaoh but me!
I snickered to myself when he begged and pleaded for help, a green light shot into the sky, as he fell to the ground. Ha! So he was getting a taste of his own medicine! Serves him right! What a dolt!
"Give me back the God cards" the Pharaoh demanded.
"You didn't hold your end of the bargain" one of the men said.
"Yeah you have to defeat all of us" another said.
"But here, I'll let your friends go since you were a good sport" the first one said, two green lights flew into the sky, screaming as they did so.
So these fools had taken the souls of Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood eh? Well, when I get ahold of those two fools, I won't be releasing them!
The man threw the cards down and they walked away, getting on their bikes.
"Hey come back here!" Wheeler cried running after them.
The three bikers, just laughed as they sped away, The Pharaoh went over to the man lying on the ground.
"Hey Yugi what's this?" Tea asked.
The Pharaoh knelt down beside of the friendship girl and took off the necklace that the man was wearing.
"It's some kind of stone" he replied.
"What do you think it is?" Tristan asked.
"I'm not sure" the Pharaoh replied "But I think we need to pay a visit to Professor Hopkins"
So someone wants the Pharaoh's soul…too bad they'll never take what's mine!

[Normal POV]:
Raphael, Allister and Valon made their way back to their secret layer, where their boss awaited them. They met back up in their meeting room, where Dartz was watching the duel between Guru and Yami unfold.
"We were not able to get the soul of the Pharaoh, sir" Raphael said bowing before his master.
Dartz turned toward his followers.
"I wasn't expecting you to" Dartz said "it's much too early to capture his soul. Bring me the souls of his companion: young Joseph Wheeler and his rival Seto Kaiba"
"I've got Kaiba" Allister said.
"What do you want with Kaiba?" Valon asked.
"I have my reasons" Allister said.
"Well, I'm going after that bloak Joey Wheeler" Valon boated crossing his arms over his chest.
"What do you want with Wheeler?" Allister asked.
"Will you two shut up?" Raphael snapped "We're in the presence of Master Dartz"
Allister and Valon immediately stopped talking.
"Bring me the one that we've been watching" Dartz said.
"Pegasus?" Raphael asked.
"So you have been paying attention haven't you?" Dartz asked. "You three know what to do, bring his soul to me, we mustn't let him and the Pharaoh meets up again"
"Yes sir" the three men said they bowed and then took their leave.
Dartz turned toward the statue again, kneeling before it.
"It's almost time my child, my workers are bringing forth the chosen duelists. Soon, you will rise once again to cleanse the world of its impurities but someone else's soul needs to be captured.
Dartz stood up; closing his eyes he concentrated on a specific scene.
"That boy holds the soul of the darkness" Dartz said "And I'm going to get it"
Dartz smirked watching the boy inside of his home.
"I'll cleanse your heart, Ryou Bakura" Dartz said "I'll capture the soul of Bakura Touzoku!" he cackled.
