Author's Note: Welcome to my sequel, Dark Crisis, and throughout the whole story, it will be in Yugi's point of view, but I may change the point of view to other characters. For those who have not read Pharaoh's Servant will probably not understand what is going on. Dark Crisis will take place where Pharaoh's Servant left off.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or Nick who belongs to Phoenix727, but I do own my ideas and OCs for this story. Here's my first chapter.


Chapter 1: New Surprises

We were crossing through to what seemed like a forest. Only it wasn't. We were walking through the Guardians' backyard. We finally approached two houses and two buildings. They could actually afford this!

"Do you own all these buildings?" Joey asked in disbelief.

"Yes," Artemis answered, her face turning red from embarrassment.

"Then how are you paying for them?" Kaiba spat. He seemed to not believe her.

"Would you believe that one of our own runs a huge business which pays for it?" Artemis said happily.

"HEY!" A feminine voice called out. Running out from the first house was a girl with long, blonde-brown hair and amber eyes. She ran with amazing speed like lightning and she embraced Artemis joyfully. "Good to see you again, Artemis, my old friend!"

"Um… can you stop squeezing the life out of me!" Artemis yelled.

"Sorry," the girl said apologetically. "Forgive my rudeness, my name is Kelly Mendez."

"They know who we really are," Nidoki spoke.

"Oh? My real name is Jupiter and I'm the Guardian of Thunder." Jupiter introduced. Her face brightened up to our presence.

"Where are the others?" Artemis asked.

"Inside. Won't they be surprised to see you here… and with these mortals!" Jupiter said, slightly blushing when she looked at Joey. "Let's introduce the mortals to them."

Artemis directed us where we were going, and Jupiter continued to blush when she stared at Joey. He, on the other hand, didn't realize this. He was chatting with Serenity, but Tristan kept trying to talk to her. We had entered the house that Jupiter came out from, and I took one last look, which startled me. I saw a huge building sticking out from the trees far from here. Artemis noticed this and came over to me.

"That's the abandoned asylum," she said. "It feels creepy when it snows or when you cross there at night. Reminds me of the Overlook Hotel from The Shining."

"You're scared of that place?" I raised an eyebrow. "I thought someplace like this wouldn't scare you."

"It just reminds me of something…" With that, Artemis went inside and I followed.

The inside of the house felt huge. The living room was big and the kitchen resembled Victorian architecture. There was a stairway that might have led to the bedrooms.

"Who are you?" a voice from out of nowhere asked.

My friends and I nearly jumped when we saw the person. He looked oddly familiar… like Pluto! But something was different about him. His blue eyes were more gentle and he had no scar on his left eye. He did have the same short, black hair as Pluto though.

"Did I scare you?" the boy replied. He seemed to quickly note the reason. "I'm actually Pluto's twin brother, Mercury. I'm the Guardian of Water."

"Seriously? You're his twin brother? You look... normal." Nick asked.

"Of course!" Mercury said harshly. "Hey, aren't you Shadow Phoenix's hikari that nearly destroyed Times Square?"

"Does every Guardian know?" I whispered to Artemis.

"Yeah," she giggled. "Excuse me for a moment." Artemis made her way to the stairway and stood on the second step. She appeared to have been waiting for someone. "Gaia, I know you're here!"

A door opened from upstairs and someone was coming down the steps. The same girl with the almond-colored eyes and long, brown hair who appeared at the mansion was here. "The name's Roseanna Curcie," she introduced. "It looks as though I should tell them my real name, I'm Gaia, Guardian of Earth."

"Anyone else we should know about?" Kaiba replied annoyingly.

"The other Genesis are somewhere…" Jupiter pondered. "Let me guess, this shrimp is Yugi Mutou and the look-alike is the Pharaoh." She noticed Artemis glared at her once she called me a "shrimp"

"Their friends, Tea Gardener, Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Ryou Bakura, his Atem Bakura, Serenity Wheeler, Mokuba Kaiba, Seto Kaiba and Nicholas Carlstrom." Gaia continued.

"How did you know my name?" Nick asked.

"You own a company, don't you?" Jupiter said." Now what was it called… ah, yes, Calstrom Industries, wasn't it?"

"Jupiter, you're going to scare everyone." Artemis replied. "She is the computer expert and she is able to hack into any computer system on the planet. She also owns a multibillion company called Mendez Enterprises. You know, the one I spoke about earlier."

"She is annoying, too!" Mercury cried out. "Jupiter always hacks into government or military computers, but she hasn't been caught yet. I swear one of these days something bad will come out of it."

Suddenly the phone rang and Gaia went to pick it up. As she spoke to the person on the other line, her eyes widened in fear. Gaia quickly hung up and looked at us. "We have trouble!" Gaia said. "That was Uranus, and he says that Stella is in Central Park!"

"What is he doing there?" Mercury asked.

"Taking himself a vacation!" Gaia yelled. "Stella's abilities can create chaos with all those plants there, and the mortals are our main concern!"

"We need to call Ceres!" Artemis said aloud. "You know Stella has been wanting to take my powers for her greedy purposes! Maybe Ceres can stop her."

"Then who's going to watch Pluto's little sister?" Jupiter reminded. "And I'm sorry to say but Ceres is busy, so she won't be able to help us."

"Did you say that psycho has a little sister?" Joey questioned.

"Don't call my brother a psycho!" a voice scolded. Standing beside Joey was a girl who had the same blue eyes as Pluto and long, black hair. She stared at Joey unkindly.

"Pluto is only your brother in present day, remember?" Artemis said softly. "He only had me and Yukai as his younger siblings in the past."

"My older brother, Mark, won't be back to pick me up until the night." The girl stated. "By the way my name is Kiki Ling. Just please don't call me 'Kiki Dee' as I really despise it when I get compared to that singer my Mother loved listening to."

"How old are you?" Tea asked.

"I'm ten-years-old!" Kiki answered, smiling innocently.

"I'm pretty sure she doesn't need a babysitter," Mokuba said, standing in front of her. Big mistake! Kiki flipped Mokuba by the arm and pounded him to the ground. She gave him a harsh stare and turned away.

"She hates it when people stand in front of her." Gaia replied.

"You could have warned him before!" Kaiba yelled as he rushed over to his brother's aide.

"If we were going to leave her here, half the town would be up in smoke when we come back." Mercury added.

"Me and Serenity will stay and take care of her!" Tristan offered.

"Maybe Mokuba should also stay," Nidoki said. "You might try to do something while we are gone." She narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"No way I'm staying with that demon!" Mokuba shouted.

"Thanks for the compliment, mortal!" Kiki scolded at him. She proceeded to cross her arms during her huff.

"Besides you may get kidnapped by the Final Five." I said, not wanting him to become the target of them. "And Serenity can stay as well."

"Yugi's got a good point," Atem replied. "Pluto did kidnap you two, and Ryou, perhaps you can stay along with them?"

"NO!" Nidoki cried out. "Tristan, Serenity and Mokuba must remain here!"

"You sure?"

"That darn tomb robber will not allow it!"

"You want Ryou to come along, Bakura?" Artemis inferred.

"I'm not letting him stay with the psycho's sister!" Bakura yelled.

"Fine, let's go!"

We left the house as we bid Tristan, Serenity, Mokuba and Kiki a farewell. I wondered how we were getting to Central Park. I didn't even know where it was.

"Yugi, Central Park is in the middle of Manhattan." Artemis answered my thought.

"You read my mind?" I yelled.

"My little light, you must learn not to peek into other people's thoughts!" Luna reprimanded as she appeared in spirit form.

"Ever heard of a warp tunnel?" Mercury suggested. "It takes less than a minute to get us to any location we desire."

"I've heard from Artemis that you are the reincarnation of Ra the Golden Phoenix Dragon," Gaia began. "The only ones the Millennium Guardians haven't located are the Silver and Bronze Phoenix Dragons."

"I never knew I had so much power within me," I said. I looked over at Artemis who was helping Jupiter, Nidoki and Mercury. I smiled at her as she smiled back.

"Taken a liking to Artemis?" Gaia replied.

"Yes, I love her." I responded. "It feels like we've known each other for a long time."

"We better get going," Gaia said as we walked towards the others.

Artemis opened the warp tunnel and we jumped in. This time the trip felt rough, and Artemis grabbed onto my hand. The other Guardians immediately held onto my friends, like they know something was wrong. Could the Final Five have tampered with the vortex? We finally made it through as we landed on hard ground.

"Guys, tell me that didn't happen." Gaia said angrily.

"The Final Five must know we're coming!" Artemis concluded.

"You mean that they caused that rough start!" Tea yelled worriedly.

I looked around our new surroundings and noticed a lot of trees covering the landscape. The grass was green and cut. Sunlight barely entered through the trees and I saw people walking about, not realizing where we came from. What we didn't know was that one of the members of the Final Five was expecting us to arrive.

"We'll finally get the power we need to resurrect the Galactic Dragon once more, even if I must make a few sacrifices." a feminine voice replied softly.
