Chapter One
"I SHALL SEAL YOU AWAY!" The Pharaoh cried, "BE GONE!"
The darkness surrounding him swirled with increasing intensity before spiralling and colliding with the Pharaoh's chest. He could feel the darkness filling him but he was strong enough to manage. Yugi had to cover his eyes as the wind created by the darkness zooming past him. Gradually the darkness disappeared absorbed into the Pharaoh. As the last of the darkness vanished the Pharaoh vaguely heard Yugi say something to him. But as his mind battled to keep control over the darkness he lost control of the rest of his body, his legs gave out from under him. But with his mind in its current condition he couldn't do anything about it. Yugi cried out as the Pharaoh fell, running over and catching him before he hit the ground.
"Hey! Are you alright!"
There was a short pause before, "Yes, I'm fine."
"You did it, Pharaoh."
The Pharaoh smiled slightly, "I'm just glad it's over."
Yugi smiled and was about to speak but the ground shook drawing his attention. All around them the buildings came tumbling down sending debris flying everywhere.
/We have to get out of here, Yugi./
Yugi nodded. In front of him the Pharaoh disappeared, retreating into the Puzzle. Yugi stood, turned and sprinted through the portal. On the other side of the portal he took a quiet glance around. All the tiles which had once held countless souls were deserted all souls having been set free. But Yugi had no time to think about that. He ran as fast as he could out of the room, racing out of Dartz's 'lair'. The ground shook which slowed Yugi's running slighty but never the less he raced on.
He could see the helicopter ahead of him, he ran even faster towards it. As he approached he could hear Joey screaming that they had to wait. But never the less Yugi ran calling out to Joey. The blond stuck his head out of the helicopter at the call and called back to Yugi. Joey even yelled to the pilot to stop the helicopter as it was taking off, but the pilot ignored him. When Yugi had drawn level with the helicopter it had taken off but Yugi made once last attempt to board it. Jumping as high as he could he, somehow, managed to grab hold of the metal landing skids. Using all his strength he pulled himself up, aided by Joey who had grabbed his wrists to pull him in. With a huge heave Yugi was pulled into the helicopter where he landed on top of Joey. The two straighten themselves, Yugi panting hard from his marathon.
"You ok, Yugi?" Tea asked, anxiously.
"Yeah, .. just grateful I made it." Yugi panted.
Moving over to a bench, Yugi sat down and gazed out of the window. The coloured lights in the sky faded gently as the dominan of the beast was now safe so the monsters were all going home. Yugi's thoughts turned back to the Pharaoh, he hoped that he was alright.
/I'm alright Yugi, I can promise you that./ The Pharaoh appeared to be listening to his thoughts.
/Are you sure? I mean you collapsed!/
/I'm sorry, if I scared you. But I really am fine, I would tell you if otherwise./
Yugi smiled slightly. That was true, the Pharaoh would usually voice any concerns he had to Yugi. So, he allowed himself to relax he knew that if there was a problem the Pharaoh would voice it.
Yugi couldn't be sure but he had nagging feeling he had fallen asleep on the way back as before he knew it, they were home. Odd. The last time he had been here was well.. a long time ago. Honestly, he could not wait to get home and see Grandpa. He had been completely unaware of any of this but hopefully nothing had happened to him. Once they had landed on the roof of the reinstated Kaiba Cooperation Yugi made a half jog and half power walk to get home as the others were loitering. But eventually the Kame Game Shop came into sight. Bidding farewell to the others Yugi made his way inside. He always had this thought once an adventure was over, how could they just go back to normal life?
"Hello? Yugi?" A quiet voice floated down the stairs.
Yugi smiled as his grandfather descended the stairs into the shop. Grandpa stopped dead and just stared at Yugi, he hadn't seen his grandson in maybe over a month or so. Neither moved for a moment. But Yugi couldn't stand it any longer, he rushed over and wrapped his arms around his grandfather's neck. Tears leaked from Yugi's eyes, the relief of knowing that his Grandfather was ok. Grandpa was also crying, having heard nothing from his Grandson in little over a month. Grandpa broke the hug and wiped the tears from his grandson's face.
"So.. what've you been doing this time?"
Yugi laughed slightly. This would take some explaining.
The Pharaoh sat on one of the many levels of the Puzzle, his feet dangle ring over the edge. As to what he was doing. Well, the answer to that was not a lot. His mind wasn't occupied with anything, no thoughts. Nothing. Maybe that could be a symptom of boredom. The Pharaoh was bored and as he had only been in the puzzle for a few of hours. A noise behind him stirred the bored Pharaoh, but he looked round too late. Something hard hit him in the back sending him over the edge. Lucky his lightening reflexes kicked in and he managed to grab the platform where he had previously been sitting. Cautiously he pulled himself back up again and looked around. There was no sign of anything nearby.
Making way further into the puzzle, the Pharaoh searched for anything out of the ordinary. But there was nothing out of the ordinary, as far as he could see. He turned a corner and another force came flying at him sending him flying. His back connected with a wall and he crumpled to the ground. As the Pharaoh struggled to, at least, sit upright he was a pair a feet came towards. Looking up, the Pharaoh could just about see a man with dark hair looking at him. The man knelt and stared at the Pharaoh.
"Well, hello there." The man smirked, "I must thank you Pharaoh for releasing us into your mind."
"Us?" The Pharaoh asked, "Who are you?"
"We're the darkness. The darkness of the Great Leviathan and thanks to you we have free roam of your mind."
The Pharaoh just stared at the man, not knowing what to say.
The man just chuckled, "I'll take your non response as a 'you're welcome'."
Out of nowhere a wave of unexpected pain blossomed in the Pharaoh's chest, a hand automatically gripped his shirt. He wasn't sure what that was or why he was feeling it. The dark hair saw this and smirked again.
"It seems a colleague of mine has broken a mental defence." The Pharaoh's eyes widened, "That's right Pharaoh, we're going to break you. Break every pathetic defence you have. It won't take us long."
"I will stop you."
"You can't. We are millions. You are but one." The man grabbed the Pharaoh by the collar, "Know this, once we have broken you're defences we will come for you."
The man unceremoniously dropped the Pharaoh and strolled away. The Pharaoh grimaced as another wave of pain flowed. He had to stop them and he had to do it soon.

Note: Off topic. But to the guys who have read Sentenced to Eternity. I have removed the story. In all honestly I didn't like and thought it didn't work.. Sorry to the people who loved it but I really was embrassed by it. Also, to the guys who told me it was bad. Don't worry about 'hurting my feelings' its fine not all stories work but I do appropriate you telling me. So, yeah apologies to the guys who liked it but I was embrassed by it and it really didn't work. Sorry!
