Hello, great people! I decided to start a new vampire story, after the gang and Kairi's father, Parou, defeated Zorc, the Dark One in Hell's Gate. Now, a new and more powerful legion of vampires is headed towards Domino, but why? Does it have something to do with Hell's Gate? Read onward, and find out!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story and my two OCs, Kairi and Parou. Kilnorc owns Brian. Thank you, and arigato. (bows)

-Cairo, Egypt-

A cloaked figure made its way towards a tomb that was sealed off by a large stone tablet. The figure's hands glowed bright red, and the tablet moved out of the way. Its cloak swept across the ground, and the figure proceeded into the tomb. The stranger knew that the tomb contained traps, but it knew how to avoid them. It looked down over a maze, and saw a violet pit, the Pit of Shadows. The figure started with its right foot, for it knew that it meant respect to a pharaoh by walking with the right foot first, since it was near the heart. The statues that blocked the way stopped, and let him through.

The figure looked over, and saw a golden coffin lying on the ground. It lifted the lid, and saw that there was nothing in it. All that was inside was a golden box with the Eye of Ra on the front. Swiftly and silently, the figure took the box, grinning evilly. Large demonic wings protruded from its back, and it flew out of the tomb, laughing.

"Stop, thief!" a guard yelled to the flying figure, but all the stranger did was toss a glittering powder onto the guards, and they fell to the sand, unconscious.

"That was too easy," the figure laughed, flying off into the night sky.

-Domino City-

"Is something wrong, Pharaoh?" Yugi Moto asked his yami, via mind link.

"It's nothing, Yugi," the former pharaoh replied, shaking his head. "I just thought that I felt something in Egypt."

"I see," Yugi whispered as they came out of their mind link, Yami standing beside his hikari. (The yamis have their own bodies.) Their friends, Joey, Tristan, Tea, Brian Berg, and Kairi Lumina came towards them, in front of the Kame Turtle Game Shop. Kairi's father, Parou, came with them as well.

"Hey, guys," Joey whispered, a worried look on his pale face.

"Is something wrong?" Yami asked, and the others nodded glumly.

"It seems that a thief has stolen something in a tomb in Cairo," Kairi explained, her crimson red eyes glistening with tears. "The tomb hasn't been identified yet, but we'll keep in touch."

"Of course," Parou pointed out, his blue hair flowing in the breeze. "It could have been your tomb, Pharaoh."

"Who would want to steal something out of my tomb?" Yami wondered, the sun shining down on them.

-Meanwhile-

"Now that I have this," the figure whispered, holding up the golden box to the light. "I can control the world, but first, I have to find the Items." The figure chuckled, and walked off, carrying the box, the Eye of Ra glowing.

Who is this figure, and what does it want with the Items? Find out in chapter two, One Down, Six to Go.
