-Battle City Angels–
Chapter 1: From the Shadow Realm
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu Gi Oh or anything that relates to it! (I HATE THAT!)
It was one of the most beautiful days Domino City had seen after Marik and his corruption had destroyed the entire cities atmosphere. Yugi had beaten Marik and received the third Egyptian God card making him the most invincible and popular duelist in the world. Along with Marik's defeat it resurrected Mai and Bakura from their entrapment in the Shadow Realm. Everything had returned to the way it should have been. Yugi had returned to help his Grandpa run his game shop. Meanwhile, Tea had just enrolled in a dance theatre to perfect her craft of dancing. Joey had left Domino city to become a porn star with Tristan (I'M JUST KIDDING!! !). Yugi's gang was still around as usual. It was three weeks after the end of the Battle City Duels and today was going to be a dark day.
Yugi Moto walked along the main street of Domino City looking through each shop window. It had been just a few short weeks since his final battle with Marik in the Battle City Tournament and Yugi now was the proud owner of all three Egyptian God cards. Yugi looked down at his three cards in his hand. Unaware of where he was walking at the moment Yugi impacted with someone and fell to the ground. Yugi looked up to see Ishizu Ishtar.
"Hey Ishizu! Sorry about that," said Yugi as Ishizu helped her friend off the ground. Yugi dusted the dirt from his clothes.
"It's alright Pharaoh." Ishizu noticed that Yugi had something on his mind, as if he wanted to give her something.
"Is everything okay," asked Ishizu as she bent her head down slightly to look under Yugi's bowed head. Yugi looked up and began to laugh.
"Oh I'm fine! I just wanted you to have these back," said Yugi as he held out Ishizu's Millennium Necklace in one hand and Obelisk in the other. Ishizu looked at the items as if she had just seen them for the first time. Ishizu reached out and rubbed her index finger across the necklace.
"Those are yours my Pharaoh. They rightfully belong to you now," said Ishizu as she took a step back from Yugi. Yugi took a step forward.
"Please take them Ishizu, at least for now. Something is telling me to give them back to you for the moment. I don't know why and it's not the spirit either. It's just one of those gut feelings ya' know," said Yugi as he held out the items once more.
"Yes, I think I do understand what you mean. It's the same instinct that told me to give you my necklace and Kaiba, Obelisk. You carry a special gift inside you so I'm not going to question your judgment," replied Ishizu as she finally accepted the God card and her necklace. Yugi backed away.
"Well, I gotta' go Ishizu! Grandpa needs help back at the shop. He's having a big 2 for 1 sell today. Catch ya' later," screamed Yugi as he ran in the opposite direction waving back to his loyal friend. Ishizu watched as he ran off in the distance. Ishizu looked down at the two items that were returned to her.
"Why did he return these to me," thought Ishizu as she put Obelisk in her pocket. Ishizu fastened the necklace around her neck. Ishizu froze just as the necklace was fastened around her neck. A flash of light burst before her eyes and a vision came to her.
Ishizu's had a terrible vision. A dark cloud immersed itself over Domino City. Thunder boomed and lightning crashed throughout the city. Then, like a bullet from the sky, came a ball of darkness. It sat in front of Grandpa Moto's store and took form. The shadow ball began to tear and shift. It exploded into a humongous demon with long spiraling horns and glowing red eyes. Its skin was black and had patches of granite stone all over its body. It bust into Grandpa's store capturing Yugi, Bakura, Joey, Marik, and Kaiba. In the same bolt of darkness it shot back into the sky and the sky cleared.
Ishizu regained her consciousness as she grabbed her forehead. Ishizu didn't know what to do. She couldn't let her pharaoh be hurt but she was only one person. What could she do? Ishizu began to run. She didn't know where Grandpa Moto's shop was but she couldn't just give up. Ishizu continued to run and in the distance she was able to see a small colorful building and Yugi was standing outside of it with her brother! Ishizu began to scream Yugi's name but Yugi nor Marik acknowledged her. She was too far away to be heard. Ishizu pushed herself to run faster but she was running out of breath and her side began to ache as if someone had stabbed her with a knife. She had to stop. Ishizu bent over and held herself up on her knees. She began to breathe hard and cough.
" I have to warn them! I can't let anything happen to the Pharaoh or Marik! I can't let them down," thought Ishizu, as she stood upright. She looked to the sky and in a matter of seconds it had turned black like midnight. Ishizu knew she had to warn her friends before the sinister creature from her vision got its claws on them. Ishizu ran across the street to try to reach the other sidewalk. Ishizu looked up to hear a bellowing noise and the sound of screeching tires. She had run straight out in front of a bus without even realizing it. Ishizu froze like a deer in headlights.
"Oh no! I have to get to them. The fates can't do this to me," thought Ishizu as the end of the bus swung around coming towards her. Time seemed to have stopped. Ishizu couldn't move from her utter fear. The end of the bus was within feet from colliding with her.
Ishizu hit the ground and began to roll. She stopped as she rolled into the gutter of the street.
"Am I dead," thought Ishizu as she looked up only to find Tea lying next to her.
"Are you okay," asked Tea as she pulled Ishizu out of the side of the road. The bus finally came to a loud, screeching stop. Ishizu looked over to see where the bus had stopped. If it hadn't been for Tea she would have been a liquid pile of Bisquick on the road. Ishizu rubbed the back of her head as a giant not began to swell.
"Tea, I have to get to Yugi," said Ishizu as she grabbed Tea's wrist. Tea looked at Ishizu confused but also scared.
"Ishizu! What are you talking about," exclaimed Tea as she ripped her hand back from Ishizu. Tea could see the look of concern and complete fear in Ishizu's eyes. Ishizu's eyes had tears in them.
"Tea, I HAVE to warn the Pha – Ishizu was interrupted as swarms of people began to run past them screaming and panicking. Tea and Ishizu were startled and began to look around.
"Monster! Monster," screamed many pedestrians that ran past Tea and Ishizu in the opposite direction of Mr. Moto's store. Ishizu ran towards the store. Tea was still in confusion and a state of shock as well. Tea ran after Ishizu.
"What is going on? What is she not telling me," thought Tea as she ran after Ishizu. Tea stopped as a rumble ran under her feet in the ground. She looked up and realized she was standing right behind Ishizu….but what was the creature standing in front of Ishizu? It held Kaiba and Marik in its left hand while it held Joey and Yugi in its right and it had Bakura confined within its jaws.
"Stop! Let them go," screamed Tea as she ran towards the beast. Ishizu grabbed Tea by her arm bringing Tea to an abrupt stop and pulling Tea down to the ground. Tea collided backwards into the asphalt and her elbows scratched across the asphalt. In a flash of light the creature bolted into the sky and within a blink of an eye everything was back to normal. Tea looked up at the sunny sky. What had just happened?
"Why did you stop me like that," screamed Tea as she examined her bleeding elbows. Tea wiped the blood from her scraped arms. As she looked up, she saw Mr. Moto under piles of demolished wood. Tea forgot about her wounds and ran to Mr. Moto's bruised and motionless body. Tea laid his head in her lap.
"Mr. Moto? Are you okay," asked Tea as he opened his eyes. He struggled to stay conscious. Tea wiped away the blood that was seeping out from a deep gash in his forehead. Tea layed Mr. Moto back down and approached Ishizu.
"You know what is going on, don't you," asked Tea to Ishizu with her hands on her hips. Ishizu turned from Tea.
"I had a vision. I was trying to get here to prevent it but I was too late," said Ishizu as she looked into the sky hoping her friends would just come back the way they had left. Ishizu turned from Tea and looked down the road. In the distance she saw two figures running toward her. They came closer and Ishizu's eyes were able to focus on them. It was Serenity and Mai Valentine. Serenity and Mai finally approached Tea and Ishizu.
"What the hell happened here," asked Mai as she examined the completely demolished building that was the Moto's store and home. She saw "Grandpa" lying in the pile of rubble.
"Oh my God," said Mai as she pulled out her cell phone and began to punch buttons on it.
"I have to get 911 here. He needs to be rushed to a hospital." Mai told 911 where to come. She hung up the phone.
"Like I was asking before, what happened," Mai asked again. Serenity began to fidget.
"Where's my brother," asked Serenity as she ran to the giant pile of rubble store and began to tear through it. Ishizu ran to Serenity and pulled her out of it.
"Listen to me! Some kind of demon from the Shadow Realm broke through to our world and took Seto, your brother –Joey, Yugi, Marik, and Bakura. I had a vision about it. I tried to stop it but I was too late," said Ishizu as she got Serenity out of the heaping pile of wood and metal and rock.
"I think it was able to break into our world because of the hold evil Marik had on my brother. All the Shadow magic he kept using in each duel must have caused a giant rift in the realm doorway. Normally you would have to be very skilled in magic to open such doorways but when certain magic scales are disrupted almost anything is possible. The only other way to open those doorways easily is if a person holds a Millennium Item," said Ishizu as she touched her necklace. Mai began to ponder.
"Well we can't just let that demon have our friends. You said that a person with a Millennium Item could open these doors or gates or whatever they're called, right," asked Mai. Ishizu nodded her head.
"Well Ishizu, you have the necklace on. Open a door. Yugi has saved our necks so many times I think its time we return all those favors. I'm not letting him go without a fight and neither should you guys," said Mai as she held out her hand. Tea placed her hand on top of Mai's.
"I'm with you Mai. Yugi would never give up on us so we can't give up on him. I'm going to help bring him home along with our friends, Bakura and Joey." Tea and Mai looked at Ishizu who held a blank look on her face as she stared at the ground. Serenity walked past Ishizu brushing her shoulder against her. Serenity placed her hand on top of Mai and Tea's.
"We have to stick together. Joey has done so much for me and I can't let him be taken from my life. Not now." Ishizu still looked at the ground in deep thought. Ishizu took a step forward. She finished the circle by placing her hand with the rest.
"I'll be honest, I am scared. We may not come back alive. Our friends may not be alive but we still have to try. Our hearts are connected as one. We all have been through so much together in just these past few weeks. My friends would never give up on me. So, I'm not giving up on my friends. We're coming Marik!" The four courageous girls stood together with their hands embraced. They were about to enter a world that did not want them there. A world full of darkness. A world full of death and it was waiting for them.
