The Worst Alarm Clock Ever

I felt myself falling into an embrace due to my injuries during that ancient duel, but not Death's cold embrace. It was sleep's warm embrace. Then I heard someone calling my name and then saying "Wake up,"
Pain. Pain was the first thing that my mind registered after being in a magical sleep for five thousand years. I groan and just want to roll over and go back to sleep to push the pain away. "Wait, what the hell!" I thought to myself as my brown eyes open finally. I look around to gather my surroundings to discover that I was in a tomb. I get off the slab that served as the worst bed ever and instantly fall to the floor. "Dammit, move!" I growl to myself as my legs finally get under me and I push myself to a better position. "Wraith," I heard a voice whisper. I look around and feel a presence brush against my mind. It was an old friend or should I say old spirit friend of mine. Leaning down and offering me a hand was my first spirit monster, the Black Luster Soldier, my oldest companion. "C'mon Wraith, up and at 'em." He said offering me his hand. I take it and he helps me to my feet. I feel stronger as he walks into me and we become one once more. I can now move around my "tomb" without falling. I look around to see a pair of clothes laying in a corner for me. I smile as I see that they are a modified version of my old assassin uniform. Pure black robes, a twin dragon buckle for the belt, and jet-black boots to go with it. I put them on carefully and they feel like they were made for me. I look around but cannot see that far in front of me. "Light, I need light." I say to myself shocked that my voice hasn't changed in five thousand years. Suddenly, the torches are lit as if by magic. "Ask and you shall receive, Wraith." Another one of my spirit monsters says as the Magician of Black Chaos appears in front of me smiling slightly. I feel a smile tug on my lips as he too walks into me. My memories flow back to me as this happens. My name is Wraith Shadowwalker; I am the personal bodyguard and assassin of Pharaoh Atem, wielder of not one, not two, but three spiritual monsters. "Black's here, Chaos is here, where's Drake?" I ask to open air. "Right behind you." A low voice says behind me. I turn around and an eleven-foot pure black dragon with gold eyes is staring back at me. "Drake, buddy, long time no see." I say. Drake just sighs and walks into me. My senses dull then expand as his gift to me and my eyes turn gold thanks to him. "Right, now its time to get my swords, find Atem, grab Katarina
-" I stop at her name. Katarina, the love of my life wasn't here anymore because it's been five thousand years. " No, no, no, no, no, NO!" I roar as reality hits me. I desperately want to hit something, so I start beating the shit outta the ground. "Katarina!" I roar in pain. The tears start falling as I am kneeling on the ground. I want this pain to go away when I sense another presence in this room. "Reveal yourself before I choose to kill you." I say in a low, deadly tone. I smell roses and feel the warmth of a hand caressing my face. I look up to see her, my Katarina. "You," I simply say for I am at a loss for words. Katarina simply looks at me and smiles. Her assassin, her warrior, her everything was mourning like a child that she was gone. Katarina then leaned down, kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear, "Find me my love." That was a game I never lost when it came to her. I looked up at her to explain more. "My descendant is here, you must find her and train her to control the Black Rose Dragon." Katarina says. She then disappears, leaving me a single black rose where she was standing. I pick it up and smell it. My love's scent is what I smell and I get a lock on this scent. I can finally look around the room without needing light to see two wrapped boxes next to where I found my robes. I use my magic to unwrap them and almost cry to see what was under the wraps. Two wooden boxes are there, but what is inside is what I care about. I open both to see two completely different swords. One was the Black Luster Sword which I greeted like I greeted its owner, like an old friend. The other was the Buster Blade (not to be confused with the Buster Sword), a memento from my war brother whose spirit monster was the Buster Blader. I pick it up and can almost hear my friend's dying words. "Take my sword and show them a warrior they've never seen before." His voice echoes in my head. I nod and sheath both while strapping both onto my back. My dragon hearing picks up footsteps in my lord's tomb. "So this is where they wish to die." I think grimly to myself. I pull my hood up and melt into the shadows as I stalk my prey. I may have been asleep for five thousand years, protecting Pharaoh Atem, but I never forgot my assassin training. Also, while I was asleep I was honing my skills to become even better than I was before. These intruders were in for a rude awakening as to what happens when you try to enter a tomb without permission. I use my shadow blending skills to become near invisible and locate my prey. I finally find them and case them out. One was almost a spitting image of Atem thanks to his hair. He was the leader apparently, but there was a man in a white coat that didn't like that fact. There were two other guys following the would be Atem and three more girls also. "C'mon Yugi, do you even know this is the right way?" The blond one asked. Yugi looked at them. "I'm sure of it, just trust me." He said firmly. I couldn't help but laugh to myself as I slide the Black Luster Sword on the ground making a scraping sound. The group stops as they hear my laugh echo through the chamber. "You must all be very stupid to make this place your own tomb." I say in a low voice. I see the boys close ranks around the girls to protect them as they pull out what appear to be cards. "A noble gesture, but only a gesture." I growl as I still keep them guessing as to where I am. I see the man in the white coat plays his card first. "I summon Kaibaman!" he shouts as a warrior that looks just like him appears in front of him. "Hmmmm, you can summon your spirit monster. Interesting." I say as I draw the Black Luster Sword from my back. "Hey Yug, that looks like the sword your Black Luster Soldier uses." The blond says to Atem's shorter twin. Yugi nods. "What do you know about my sword?" I demand as this "Kaibaman" tries to attack me. I parry his attack and use a basic slash to end him. "Pathetic." I say to the man in the white coat. I look between the men to see three girls. One looks like Atem's Anzu from so long ago. There is a blond one that stays close to the talkative one. She seems to care about him. Finally, the black haired one looks almost like my Katarina. I silently begged that she turned her head but I had bigger things to deal with. Apparently, the blond male could also summon his spirit monster, which was the Flame Swordsman. I dodge one of his strikes and use my energy strike to take him down. Everyone but the black haired girl is knocked down, which confuses me until I look closely at her. Shimmering in front of her were two dragon wings. Finally, finally! She opened her eyes and looked at me. Violet eyes locked with gold and I snap. I grab her and pin her against the wall. "Katia!" the one called Yugi shouts. Katia struggles and looks at me. "Just who are you?" I ask her quietly as my golden eyes lock with her violet eyes and everything around us fades away.
