Prologue: You Know Nothing!
Pharaoh Atem walked silently. His spiky, gold and purple hair swayed in the wind. As he walked, a girl waved to him, but he did not recognised her. She had pink hair styled into pigtails, and gold eyes. She wore a long dress with a patch missing from the chest, and five pink gems sat on her chest. She ran up to him, and smiled. "Atem, you are in danger. You never know when it could strike, or if it will at all. Watch your back." The girl said to the pharaoh, her cheerful mood changing to a worried mood. "How would you know? What is "it"?" Asked Atem. "I just do." The girl told him. The pharaoh crossed his arms over his white and gold robes, and closed his red eyes, frowning. "Well, what if nothing attacks? You don't know if it will. You know nothing. Nothing!" Replied Atem. As he walked away, the pink haired girl frowned. "I failed to warn Atem-chan, but I may not have failed to save him." The girl said to herself. She held the card she was given to her chest. It's face was aqua, and writing on it said "Numeron code". Inside a square on it was a picture of the universe, and the back was brown with a black oval in the middle.
As he walked, he suddenly found himself in a dark room with many torches around being held up by sandstone statues of the sphinx, a bird-girl-lion creature that would strangle anyone who answered her riddle with the wrong answer. The room made his skin crawl, and he clutched onto the pyramid-shaped pendant hanging around his neck. He walked over to one of the walls, and brushed the palm of his hand over it. Hmmmm… sandstone. He thought. He then noticed that the wall was on an angle. Wait… am I in a pyramid? He thought, then got very worried. Across the room from Atem was a staircase pointing down, so he ran to them and began walking down them. When he reached the bottom, he saw a terrifying statue. It was of a sphinx, but it had dragon wings covered with thorn covered vines, fangs protruding from it's mouth, a long, spiked tail and claws covered with blood. It's wings were spread out, and water was dripping from them. It appeared to have it's eyes closed, and it was snarling, baring its fangs. It's hair was made with vines covered with thorns, and it was positioned like the Egyptian sphinx. Atem began to walk backwards, and something crunched beneath his foot. He looked down at the floor, and saw hundreds of decaying bones. Human bones. He gulped, noticing they were clean. Did these people just get lost, or did something eat them? He wondered. As he turned and began to run, he heard a creaking noise from behind. He looked back, and saw that the statue was standing up, and it's eyes were open. It was watching him with it's red, slit pupil eyes snarling at him. It flapped it's wings and roared, showing it was no statue. He noticed that behind it was the body of a girl wearing white robes like him and had black hair. He took a step back, and a gold device known as a diaDhank appeared around his left arm. "If this is when I die, I will die fighting! Saa, geimu no jikan da!" He yelled. He held out his hand, and the golden pyramid shaped pendent hanging from a chain around his neck began to glow. A large, red dragon creature appeared. It had two mouthes lined with sharp fangs, gold eyes, a long, serpentine body with a pair of large, red wings and a pair of arms with claws as sharp as daggers. It's long tail had leaf shaped spikes protruding from the tip and a pair of sharp blades coming out of it's chest. Red spikes were protruding from it's long back, and sharp red horns pointing in different directions were coming out of it's head. "Slifer the sky dragon! Attack!" Atem yelled to the creature. It opened it's bottom pair of jaws, and a jet of blazing fire was blasted from it. The flame hit the monster, but the monster quickly moved it's left wing in front of it's face and deflected the attack. It then stomped it's foot and three figures made of sandstone appeared and held Atem down by the arms and head so he couldn't escape. The figures were shaped like humans, and wore robes made out of sand. He recognised one of them as the man who built his grandfather Ammon's tomb and pyramid, and the others were unknown. The monster smiled cruelly and blasted a jet of blazing fire at Slifer the sky dragon, destroying it. "What?! No ka monster could defeat a god monster except another god monster!" Yelled Atem in confusion. "That is not what you call a ka monster." Said a familiar girl's voice to him from behind. He managed to break free from the sandstone figures, destroying them and turned around to be met with the sight of the pink haired girl from before, and his eyes widened. She still had long, pink hair tied into pigtails by white ribbons and gold eyes, and she still had the white dress with a patch missing from the chest and five pink gems sitting across the dress. But, she appeared to have angel wings, her dress was longer and she was wearing a pair of white high heel shoes with wings just under the ankles. "That's a witch." She told him as a pink and brown bow formed in her gloved hands. It was wood with pink diamond shapes across the side, and a large pink rose on the end of it. She aimed it at the witch, and a pink arrow formed made of magic energy.
She smiled, and let go of the spiderweb thin string. The arrow flew through the sky, and hit the monster in the chest. "Sorry, Sekhmet. I wish I could save you, but I am sure you understand." She said to the monster sadly. "Sekhmet? That monster's name is Sekhmet?" Asked Atem in confusion. "Well, that that was once her name. You see that body over there? That is the human form of this witch. She was a magical girl, but but fell into despair and became the beast you see before you." She explained. "Who are you?" Asked Atem. "I am Madokami, the goddess of hope. See you soon, Atem." She said as she telepathically picked up the girl's body and teleported it and herself to the other world. The pyramid disappeared, and he was back in the sands of Egypt. "Wow." Said Atem to himself. He of cause, thought she was hot.
