Chapter 1 - Isis

I ran down the stairs of the palace of the Pharaoh's palace and turned the corner to the royal court's room and entered. I looked around at the Pharaoh's sacred guardians in the room and nodded, "Good morning." The others nodded at me and motioned me to sit. I sat down at the steaming well and they looked at me. I closed my eyes and focused on my millennium necklace and I saw a flash of events and sighed, "We have a loose robber coming here during the coronation of the new Pharaoh." They nodded and they got up and went out of the room. I stood there for a while and then I felt a presence. I looked behind me and the prince of Egypt, soon to be Pharaoh of Egypt was leaning on a wall behind me and he looked at ease, "Morning Isis." I bowed, "Good morning my prince." He walked over to me and smiled, "I was wondering, how is the village west of here doing?" I looked at him and said, "It's in ruins my prince, but Sekhmet sent her best military there to help restore the village." He nods and unfolds his arms, "That is good." He turns and walked out of the room into the light and his cape ruffled in the wind. It's sad that his dad died so early, he was a wonderful king of Egypt.

"Isis!" Anubis yells and I turned behind me and he met me where I was, "The prince would like to speak with us." I followed him up and into the throne room. The prince was standing to the side of the throne since he wasn't crowned king yet. He looked at us and said, "Can I have you all take a break for today? I mean I doubt anything would happen to me today." Master Ra looked at the prince and said, "With all due respect, I do believe citizens will try to assassinate you today since there will be many people here for your coronation." The prince looked a bit sad, "But they've been working so hard these past days, they deserve a break." Sekhmet looked at the prince and yawned. "Calm down and just sit still for now. The best thing you can do for now is to ascend the throne." The prince looked at her and tipped his head and blinked, "What if I don't want to… I mean I am sure Horus would be a better king than me." Horus walked over and stopped by Sekhmet. "Which personality are you today?" Sekhmet looked over and hissed. "Why don't you find out Horus." Horus pats Sekhmet on the head and sighs. "Definitely Bastet today. Also, don't be too harsh of the future pharaoh." Sekhmet hissed and looked away. "If I'm not harsh he won't learn things himself." Horus sighed and hit Sekhmet in the back of the head. The prince tipped his head and said, "My father taught me well. Plus I doubt he would give me the puzzle if I wasn't ready." I sighed and said, "I'm sure he did but he died a bit too soon for you to learn everything." The prince looked away and gave a hard look at the ground before waving his hand, "I'll wait on the break for you guys… just enjoy yourselves." He turns and left through the arch in the palace wall and the curtain fell back into place behind him. I turned to Sekhmet, "I think we were a bit harsh don't you think?" Sekhmet looked over and yawned. "And what would happen if we weren't harsh? Would pity have gotten us anywhere?" I shrugged, "Maybe, plus he is only 16." Horus sighed and looked at Sekhmet. "Now that is Bastet talking, always being so harsh." Sekhmet looked over and hissed. "You got a problem with that Horus?" Master Ra looked at us and said, "Quit your bickering! This is not how the Sacred Guardians should act." Sekhmet looks over and sighed. "We've always fought like this. When did you start having a problem with it?" Master Ra sighed, "Since the prince is going to be Pharaoh, plus he is going to need mature guardians more than ever." Sekhmet hissed and looked over. "Then do you have an issue with me?" Horus sighed and looked away. "Just with who you are today. Sekhmet is more calm and quiet." Master Ra sighed, "Please take this outside…" Sekhmet quiet down and sat down by herself. Horus sighed and looked around. "Now what?" I shrugged and Master Ra walked through the curtain the prince went through and Anubis sighed, "We should prepare for the coronation." Horus nodded and replied. "Yes we should Sekhmet will recover by the time that the coronation starts… after she is the protector." I nodded, "Will you guys see that the banquet is set?" Horus nodded but looked over at Sekhmet. "She is always so antsy." I frowned, "Sure. Just go." Anubis grabbed the other members and dragged them out. Horus looked over at me and asked. "So what are we left to do?" I snorted, "Banquet!" Horus looked over confused. "Wait we are doing the cooking?" I sighed, "You're not the cookers you set up the plates and stuff." Horus nods and walks out. "Very well then." I walked out after them and headed to the prince's chambers and I nodded to a few servants on the way.

"No I don't think I would do well." the prince said to Master Ra. "I can't even lead an army without people helping me. How would I lead this country?!" Master Ra sighed and said, "You're dad left you with the crown, I am sure the spirit of your dad will help you." The prince sighed and turned his head away, "Sure he will." I opened the door and I bowed, "The people of Egypt have gathered, please follow me." The young prince got up and followed me out of his room and to the balcony overlooking the kingdom. I backed away and the prince looked at me and then back at the people. They were cheering and Master Ra said, "The people are Egypt and waiting for you to speak." The prince stepped forward and said, "Um hello?" the people gasped and hushed they bowed and the prince looked at us with a frown. He looked back at the people and said, "Um, Please do come inside for the coronation party, I would be delighted if you all came."

Afterward, we stood in the front of the throne like guards and the prince walked forward and took his seat on the throne and the festivities began. We kept guard and looked around for shady people and many people talked to the prince. After a while, he began to look kind of bored but Master Ra whispered something to him and he suddenly looked rejuvenated. I saw a flash of a vision and then I shouted, "Anubis!" He looked where I was pointing and then a barb was shot at the prince and Anubis deflected it with his cape and the needle fell to the floor. The prince looked at us with widened eyes and the people of Egypt gasped. They backed away and some began to run. Anubis yelled, "Guards! Seize him!" The guards ran to the balcony and grabbed him. Anubis yelled, "Let him stand before the Sacred guardians and take the trial of the shadow games." The guards forced him down and Horus came forward and said, "With the Millennium key, I will see into your mind." His item shone and his eyes glowed and he backs away, "There is a shadow creature in his heart." Sekhmet stepped up and looked down at the man. "For the crime, you committed and for the shadow creature I will personally take care of your myself." She touched the man's chest and an orby light appeared as she moved her hand back. Horus handed her a stone tablet and Sekhmet forced the light into the tablet. "Repent on what you tried to do today." She got up and walked away. The prince rested his chin on his hand and said, "Wow, didn't know you could do that." Horus looked over and asked calmly, "That who could do what?" The prince blinked, "Take out shadows from people and seeing them. Kind of impressive." Master Ra cuts of Horus from talking to him and said, "We should just crown you and then have you stay calm." Master Ra raised his voice and said, "Citizens of Egypt! Hear me now! All hail the new Pharaoh of Egypt!" The people murmured and then echoed, "All hail the new Pharaoh of Egypt!" Master Ra placed the crown on the prince and the people knelt then bowed. We knelt and bowed our heads. The doors burst down and a white-haired man comes in and grins, "Well lookie here. The new Pharaoh is still alive!" The young Pharaoh crosses his legs and he blinks, "Yeah. Got a problem with that?" The white-haired male sighed, "I do. Because you ruined my whole town!" He snapped his fingers and a whole swarm of cloaked figures swarm in and surrounds us. I looked at Master Ra and he nods. We fanned out in front of the Pharaoh and our DiaDiahks fan out and I yelled, "Akuma the Dark Rainbow Dragon!" There was a flash of light and then a huge black dragon appeared. Its roar shook the castle and people began to back up. I looked at the white-haired man and he grins. He showed his own DiaDhaks and we blinked. "How do you have one of those?! Only the members of the Sacred Guard has a DiaDhaks!" Master Ra shouted. He grins, "Like my predecessor before me. He gave me his. He knew history would repeat itself. Now! Quetzico the Winged Snake!" There was a flash and then a huge dragon appeared. It roared and right away Akuma hissed. "Now Quetziko Poison Blast!" Quetzico roared and a ball of purple light formed then blasted at us. Akuma's rainbow jewels shone and a barrier appeared. It healed for a little while then broke. Akuma shattered in light and we slid back. Anubis growled and yelled, "Metallo Red eyes metal dragon!" A beam of light flashed in front of us and then Metallo appeared. The Pharaoh growled and he tapped his finger and Master Ra whispered to the Pharaoh and the Pharaoh's face grimaced and he sighed. "Now Metal burst attack!" Anubis shouted and a blast of a gray light shot at Quetzico. The snake dragon drew in its huge wings and it vanished. The white-haired man laughed, "Quetzico wings are literally a particle barrier and absorb any attack. Have fun! Now Quetzico! Blast his dragon!" Quenzico blasted Metallo with one shot and Anubis's dragon vanished. Horus hissed and shouted, "Quasar the Cyber Eternity Dragon!" A white flash appeared and Quasar roared, "Quasar, Cyber Storm attack!" The white-haired main snorted and Quetzico's wings drew in and it Quasar's attack vanished. I looked at Master Ra and he looked worried, not at the attack but at the new Pharaoh. The Pharaoh was sweating and he looked at us with dull eyes. Mafdet stepped forward and yelled, "Rosalia the Black Rose Dragon!" Again another flash and a small dragon appeared. "Now! Petal Blizzard!" There was another flash and a blue dragon appeared, "Azure the Neo Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Sekhmet shouted and she then says, "Azure, Storm Strike Attack!" Quetzico counters it with a purple beam and their dragons vanish. We backed up and the Pharaoh stood up and he looked different, he had cold hair and he was taller. The Pharaoh narrowed his eyes and said, "Hath! I had about enough with your games! You ruined the celebration and destroyed the palace. Now you come here and try to kill my subjects!" Master Ra and a few other guardians murmur quickly, "Please Pharaoh! Allow us to extract him from this place!" The Pharaoh parted us and stood in front of us and said, "I will save us from him, now! Koton the Diabolic Dragons!" There was a huge beam of light and then there were two heads but one dragon snarling. It looked at us and we backed away but the Pharaoh. Hath hissed and Quetzico snarled back. "Koton Black Chaos Attack!" The two-headed dragon blasted Quetzico and there was a big explosion. Quetzico withdrew its wings from its body and it was smoldering red. Quetzico roared and shot at Koton. We shuffled back and the Pharaoh jumped out of the way of the battle. Koton's second head snapped at Quetzico and the other head blasted Quetzico in the back. Quetzico slammed to the ground and shattered into the glass. Hath growled and his troops fled. "We will be back Pharaoh!" Koto roared and vanished in the light. The Pharaoh staggered on his feet then fell. Master Ra ran to him and we shouted, "Pharaoh!"
