Chapter 1: Egypt's Royal Family Reunited!
Domino City Streets!
It was a beautiful day in Domino City, Japan as a 6-year-old girl ran ahead of a 20-year-old woman who let a smile grace her lips while she watched the child.
"Don't go to far ahead Akela!" the young woman yelled out.
"I won't Mother!" the little girl yelled back.
{Me: I interrupt to let you know that bold is Egyptian, underlined is places/time, and bold/underlined is flashback or dream or nightmare.}
The little girl spun around letting her crimson tipped black waist length hair fly around her making the older woman to laugh at the sight of the little girl. The two of them walked down the streets of Domino City towards the Museum where they where to meet up with a friend of theirs. The people that where out on the streets would stop and stared at them both as their new to the City. Both females' looked like the sun kissed their skin itself though it was the little girl that most of the teenagers where looking at because of her soft crimson colored eyes. It didn't take the little girl long to lose sight of her Mother making her to stop and look around.
"Akela!" she heard the young woman called out, "where are you?!"
"Mother!" Akela called back going back the way she came from, "Mother!"
It didn't take long for the young Mother to catch sight of Akela's crimson tipped black hair with blonde bangs. Akela ran up to her Mother making the young woman to sigh in relief before she placed her hands on her hips.
"What did I tell about going to far ahead?" the Mother asked.
"Not to," Akela answered before looking at her Mother with sad crimson eyes, "I apologize Mother."
"Your so much like your Father when he was your age," the young Mother told her Daughter.
Akela looked at her Mother in awe only remembering what her Father's voice sounded like though she can slightly remember what he looks like only it was kinda of foggy. Akela knew that she looked like her Father from her tri-color hair to her soft crimson colored eyes, but nothing more.
"Mother what was Father like?" Akela asked as she started to walk next to her Mother.
"Your Father was a trouble maker when he was young," her Mother answered, "he would always get into trouble with a young girl named Mana and it was always your Uncle Mahad that would scold them, but when it was serious then your Grandfather who was Pharaoh at the time would scold your Father. I didn't really have an interest in your Father at that time always thinking that he was to childish for a future ruler of Egypt." Akela giggled a bit. "Over time he did straighten up his act because as it turned out he had a crush on me so he wanted to get my attention and figured that if he took things a bit more seriously then it would. At first I didn't think he straightened up at all till Mana got into trouble on her own so to say that I was surprise would be an understatement, but it did get my attention and it took till we were 13 before I realized that he really was acting more like a Prince of Egypt then a child." Akela smiled as they neared the Museum. "When it come close for him to take the throne, your Father was told that he must pick one of the noble women around his age to be his Queen, but your Father being stubborn as he was went and picked me even though I was to be one of his Priestess. The courts weren't happy at first and neither where the noble women, but when his Father saw how happy his son was with me then he decide that his Son's happiness meant more to him then the rules for once."
"So Grandfather allowed you two to get married?" Akela asked looking confused.
"Yes," her Mother answered, "and when you were born, your Father was the most happiest man on earth and he adored you the moment that he laid his eyes upon you. However, his advisers where not happy when he named you, his heir because to them only a male can sit upon the throne while a female had to stand next to the male." Her Mother took on a thoughtful look. "I think the only time that I'd seen your Father mad at his advisers was when they tried to find a suitor for you while your were just an infant."
Akela made a face at the word suitor which made her Mother to laugh.
"What did Father do?" Akela asked.
"Your Father kicked them out of the Palace expect one who was always on his side and his name was Shamon," her Mother answered, "since then only Shamon and his Priest gave him advice and try to push the old ways upon him. I think the hardest decision for your Father was have Priestess Isis cast the spell that sent us here." Akela looked down at the ground wishing that he never sent them away. "Now I want you to know my Daughter that your Father loved us both so very much that he was welling to send us into the future just to protect us."
"I know Mother," Akela told her, "I sometimes hear his voice in my head telling me that he loves me and that he never wanted to send me away."
The young Mother smiled sadly at her Daughter before looking up to see that the Museum was in front of them.
"I know what well cheer you up," the Mother said with a smile.
"What?" Akela asked looking her Mother.
"We're at the Museum and do you know what that means?"
"We get to see Ishizu?"
When her Mother nodded Akela smiled before running into the building making the young woman to laugh both unaware that just coming up the steps of the Museum were young teens. A female who has brown shoulder length hair with bangs, Caucasian colored skin, blue colored eyes, and an hourglass figure while a male who has trio-colored massy star shape hair with lighting bolt shape bangs, Caucasian colored skin, narrow crimson colored eyes, and a muscular figure.
Museum Basement!
When Akela ran into the Museum she stopped and started to fast walk all the way to the basement door before quickly moving down the stairs. When she reached the bottom of the stairs a bigger smile appeared when she noticed a young woman who was properly around her Mother's age standing in front of a stone tablet.
"Ishizu!" Akela yelled as she ran forward.
The young woman turned around to reveal a pair of blue eyes before Akela was clinging to her making her to laugh.
"My Princess," the young woman greeted as she returned the hug.
"Come on Ishizu," Akela complained, "we're not in the past so don't call me Princess cause it's just Akela."
"Another thing she got from her Father," her Mother's voice said with a slight laugh, "he hated formalities as well."
Ishizu looked up at the young woman with a smile on her face as she let go of Akela.
"Queen Akusaa," Ishizu greeted as she bowed, "I'm so glad that the two of you could make it."
"It is of no problem Ishizu," Akela's Mother said with a smile, "but why is it that you wanted us to come?" "My Queen," Ishizu said with a seriousness in her voice, "my Millennium Necklace has showed me that my Brother Marik well try to take the Pharaoh's power for himself and you for his Queen."
"That won't happened Ishizu," the young Mother told her.
"I know you won't let it happen Queen Akusaa," Ishizu said before they heard voice on the stairs, "some one is here." "Then we must hide," Akusaa whispered to Ishizu before she picked up her daughter.
The two women went in one direction just as the female and male from outside come into view. When Akusaa saw the male she had to cover her mouth with her free hand to keep quiet making Akela to look at her funny.
"My Pharaoh, I've been expecting you" Ishizu greeted as she made it look like she came from the stairs
Both the female and male turned around to face her.
"Who are you?" the male asked.
His voice made Akela look up with surprise before looking around the artifact that she was hiding behind with her Mother to get a better look at him.
"I am Ishizu and I have uncovered many mysteries about you and this ancient craving using the magic of my Millennium Necklace," Ishizu answered.
"Another Millennium Item," the male said in surprise.
"Like your Millennium Puzzle this necklace affords me curtain powers," Ishizu went on, "with it I have gazed 5000 years into the past. To a time where evil Sorcerers threaten to destroy the entire world, however, there was one King that possess a magic powerful enough to stop this evil threat."
"And just who was this King?" the male asked.
"The Pharaoh who saved the world was you, Yami and now the time has finally come for you to rescue man kind once again," Ishizu started to tell him.
Both Mother and Daughter looked at each other with shock and wondered if Ishizu was off her rocker.
"To rescue man kind?" the Pharaoh asked, "how do you know the world is in danger of being destroyed again?"
"My Millennium Necklace also shows my visions of the Future," Ishizu answered before she turned around from the stone tablet to look over where Akusaa and Akela was hiding. "My Queen, Princess, please come out?"
Akusaa walked out still holding Akela before she sat the young 6-year-old on the ground.
"What's the meaning of this Ishizu?"
Akela hide behind her Mother when she saw that the male was looking at her with confusion and something else that she couldn't id in his crimson eyes.
"My apologizes Queen Akusaa," Ishizu said with a slight bow, "but I thought it best if you two knew."
"Knew what?" Akela asked as she looked around her Mother to stare at Ishizu.
"Princess Akela," Ishizu said with a smile, "I thought it best if you knew that it was destiny for your Father to return, but I'm afraid that his soul is sealed away within the Millennium Puzzle and he has to share a body with a young boy name Yugi Mutou."
"Wait, are you saying that..." Akusaa started to ask.
Ishizu nodded before turning to the male and female with a smile.
"Please allow me to introduced Queen Akusaa and Princess Akela of Egypt?" Ishizu asked.
The male's eyes snapped to Ishizu at once before looking back at the two of them.
"I don't understand," the male told her in his deep voice.
"During the battle with the darkness, Priestess Isis thought that it would be better to send both Queen Akusaa and Princess Akela into the future where they'll be safe," Ishizu stated to explain, "with the permission of the Pharaoh and the agreement of Queen Akusaa, Priestess Isis sent both the Queen and the young Princess 5000 years into the future where their found by a family who grew up on the stories of the old ways and taught the ways of modern life before going to live in the outside world."
"Whose this Pharaoh?" the female asked.
"The Pharaoh was once again you, Yami," Ishizu answered the question as if it was the Pharaoh who asked it.
"Wait!" the female yelled, "are you saying that these two are his wife and daughter?"
"Yes," Ishizu answered before she looked at the Pharaoh, "oh my Pharaoh, the events of the past well accrued once again and that same great evil well return to threaten us."
"How well I recognized this evil?" the Pharaoh asked.
"I know that your memories have faded, My Pharaoh, and that you seek many answers," Ishizu told him before she turned around and started to walk towards the stairs, "I also know a duel monsters tournament is beginning if you win it you'll find your answers." Ishizu then stops and turns around. "When you return home you'll discover an invention waiting for you." Ishizu stared to walk again, but she didn't stop as she spoke for the last time. "Fare well King Yami."
Akusaa and Akela turned to walk away as well, but the young Princess looked back to see that the Pharaoh was looking at the stone tablet.
"Please wait?" they heard him ask.
Akusaa looked slightly over her shoulder.
"Is what Ishizu said true?" the Pharaoh asked.
Akela looked up at her Mother wondering if she was going to answer him.
"Yes," Akusaa finally answered, "what Ishizu said is true. All of it."
The Pharaoh looked back at them while the female just watched with confusion and jealousy. Yami's eyes fell on Akela to see that she was looking up at her Mother, but she felt eyes on her so she looked over at him before she ran from her Mother's side towards Yami who bend down to let her run into his arms.
"Father," Akela cried as she clinged to him.
Her Mother turned around to watch the reunion between Father and Daughter even though he has no memories of them. Out of the corner of her bright slightly dark violet colored eyes, Akusaa saw the teenage female glow with jealousy which made her realize that the girl had a crush on her husband.
"Akela, we must go," Akusaa called to her Daughter.
Yami let Akela go before he whipped the away the tears from her eyes feeling his heart break at the sight of her crying. He then realized that even though he doesn't remember her or her Mother, his heart still did. He watched as Akela returned to her Mother's side before the two of them walk away leaving him and the female with him alone in the basement.
Domino Square!
By time Akusaa arrived at the meeting site the place was crawling with duelist after leaving her Daughter with Ishizu. She had started to look around when he heard the voice of a young female and knew that it was the young girl from the Museum at once, so he moved into the crowd though stayed close enough to listen in.
"The Invention said that the tournament well be announced to night," the voice stated, "Ishizu was right."
"I don't know what she said was true, but I do know this," the Pharaoh started, "I must enter and win this tournament in order to full my destiny."
"Just promise me, you'll be carefully Yami 'cause I'm sure there's still danger ahead," the girl told him.
"Yes whose ever after the millennium puzzle is still out there," the Pharaoh agreed, "but you must trust me Téathis deck has never let me down before. As long as Yugi and I stay connected to one another I am confident we can use this deck to win this tournament and unlock the mystery's of my ancient past and realize our destiny."
"And you count on my help," the girl named Téa told him with a smile on her face.
At that moment Akusaa and the Pharaoh's eyes roamed the place after they heard some one laughing like an idiot.
{Me: I interrupt to say that I'm sorry to all you Marik fans out there, but I had to call him an idiot.}
"Hey!" Téa called, "what's the matter? Is everything ok?"
"Yes Téa," the Pharaoh answered her, "it was nothing, but I can't shake the thought of that woman and little girl we saw is in fact my Wife and Daughter."
Téa looked at the Pharaoh with sadness and a hint of jealousy, but didn't voice anything.
"Hey, Yugi!" another voice called, "there you are!"
They turned to see a young woman with blond hair and wearing leather clothes running up to them.
"It's Mai Valentine," the Pharaoh stated.
"Oh joy," Téa said.
"I know you guys missed me!" the young woman said to them as she ran up before stopping.
"It's such a sham we don't hang out more often," Téa said.
"Yes it is," the girl agreed, "you're looking snazzy Téa. Is this a date?"
"We're just friends Mai," Téa told her.
The girl named Mai agreed with her in a sarcastic tone.
"I presuming you're here for the tournament?" the Pharaoh asked.
"But of course," Mai answered, "I presume you got an invention also?"
"Yes I did, but it didn't say who it was from," the Pharaoh answered, "do you know whose hosting this tournament?"
"I have no idea," Mai answered, "it's a mystery. No one seems to know. Everyone I spoke to got an anomalous inventions, but there is a buzz going around that it's someone with a lot of money and an obnoxious attitude. I guess Kaiba."
"That must be why Ishizu told me to enter," the Pharaoh mumbled, "if the events of the past were to happen again. I must face Kaiba in this tournament."
"What are you mumbling about?" Mai asked before shrugging it off, "anyway no one knows for sure who it is that throwing this thing.""
I suppose we'll find out soon," the Pharaoh stated.
"It's pretty safe to say that it's not Pegasus again," Mai pointed out.
"Speaking of Pegasus," the Pharaoh realized, "this is starting to look like Duelist Kingdom all over again."
"You can say that again," Mai agreed with him, "there currently a lot of familiar face in this crowd. Most of whom I'm not to happy to see."
"Your right," Téa agreed, "that's Weevil Underwood and Rex Rapter."
"And over there is Espa Roba," Mai Pointed out, "they say he uses esp to duel, but that's not all. Do you know a young woman name Akusaa Bennu."
The Pharaoh and Téa looked at her in surprise.
"What about her Mai?" Téa asked. "Rumor has it that her deck has some cards that no one has heard of before till she was 16-years-old," Mai explained, "apparently Pegasus gave her a deck of Dragons personally." The Pharaoh's eyes widen a bit as he looked at Mai letting it all sink in about the young woman he had meet only earlier and that he had found out that the woman was his Wife.
"Well anyways," Mai said as she went back to looking around.
Téa did the same thing and hers eyes landed on another duelist they saw before.
"It looks like Makos here too," Téa pointed out.
The Pharaoh turned back to the two girls as he pushed what Mai said to the back of his mind.
"If what Mai said earlier is correct then this tournament has one new recall," the Pharaoh stated.
"And there he is now," Téa pointed out to the other two.
Akusaa looked at the screen to see a boy with brown hair, Caucasian colored skin, and ice blue colored eyes with a smirk.
"Kaiba," the Pharaoh stated.
'Seto,' Akusaa thought in shook.
"Greetings duelist," the boy known as Kaiba greeted, "welcome to the town of Domino, but more importantly welcome to my tournament."
"I don't know which is bigger," Mai started, "his ego or his melon on the big screen."
"Let's hear what Kaiba has to say," the Pharaoh told her.
"I see each of you received your privet invention to Kaiba Crops. very inclusive Duel Monster Tournament and that you have enough brains to show up here to night," Kaiba stated, "to see your all elite duelist I added special rules to my tournament just for exports. For example, you well duel using this new and improved duel disk. Another new rule that I designed for the tournament that before each duel both players must put up their rarest card and the loser of the duel forfeits his card to the winner."
"FORFET MY DARK MAGICIAN!" the Pharaoh yelled out in surprise.
"That means losing even one duel can ruin my deck," Mai stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Oh hell no," Akusaa growled.
"My compaction is going to make Pegasus' and his Duelist Kingdom Tournament look like a joke," Kaiba stated.
Just then the wind started to blow and everyone looked up to see a helicopter and Kaiba.
"Kaiba!" the Pharaoh yelled making Kaiba look at him.
'I knew you'd come Yugi,' Kaiba thought, 'we'll see which one of us is the number one duelist.' Kaiba then looked back at the other duelist. "Don't forget to resister and pick up your duel disk because exactly one week from today my Battle City tournament begins."
"Your on Kaiba!"
The Pharaoh yelled at him. Akusaa let out a sigh knowing she'll have no choice, but to join the tournament if she was to help her husband save the world from evil hoping to RA that nothing really bad well happen to anyone else in the tournament. Akusaa turned around and walked away heading back home unaware that the Pharaoh had caught sight of her any ways.
'Akusaa?' the Pharaoh thought as he watched Akusaa walk away from the square. 'I wonder if she's going to be in this tournament, too?'
