Time cross
Chapter One:
Something bad happened.
Bakura lifted his head and stared into the night sky.
"Bakura?" Ryou asked but his yami didn't answer.
"Yugi…" Yami softly said and the tri-coloured teen looked up. When his yami didn't continue, Yugi looked in the same direction as the former Pharaoh. This moment the sky was shredded to pieces as a giant light ball burst into existent.
"Oh my God…" Seto Kaiba and his younger brother stood at the window in Kaiba's office and stared shocked at the huge monster that hung in the sky.

He woke to the sudden pain in his head. It took him some time to adjust to the darkness around him and even then things didn't come in focus. It was like he was in an endless area built out of darkness.
"You awake?" a young voice to his right asked. The king of Thieves, Touzoku-Oh, rolled on his side and tried to figure out who had asked him that stupid question.
"Don't move too much, you seem to have some serious injuries. Wait a little bit, then-" Light flickered to life and suddenly the whole area was flooded with sunshine. Touzoku-Oh stared down on the massive amount of water that was called an ocean.
"Now, isn't that better?" The white-haired thief looked to his right where a cheerful young boy sat cross-leg in the air. The knowledge behind the intense green eyes showed clearly that he wasn't human, his unbound waist long hair was black as the nigh and his dark-tanned body was only covered by a cloth around his waist and some bracelets on his upper arms.
"Who the fucking hell are you?" Touzoku-Oh barked irritated. His head throbbed with every heartbeat, they were flouting about very much water and to make it even better, Touzoku-Oh spotted the Pharaoh flying with all his Priests some way ahead of them.
"I am Ramseus. And here is our welcome committee coming!"
Like on cue Touzoku-Oh heard two voices shouting at each other.
"You idiot! Bring him back, now!"
"I can't!"
"Only someone like you can't control his own monster! Now concentrate and bring him back before we hit the damn water and drown!"
"Why don't do YOU summon a monster!"
"I DON'T HAVE ANY MONSTERS WITH THE ABILLITY TO FLY! NOW SUMMON SLYFER!"
"I CAN'T!"
The voices were getting closer. Slowly Touzoku-Oh lifted his eyes and saw two spots above him becoming lager at a drastic speed.
"GIVE ME THE DAMNED CARED FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!"
"I WON'T TRUST YOU WITH A DEAD DOG, USELESS TO SAY WITH SLYFER!"
"THEN SUMMON HIM!"
"I CAN'T!"
"THEN SUMMON ANOTHER MONSTER WHICH CAN FLY!"
Now Touzoku-Oh was able to identify the two spots as some strange looking kids. One had a mop of white hair and wore mostly blue clothes that covered his legs and most of his arms. The other boy had the same hair-cut as the Pharaoh and wore skin-tight leather with more than one belt around his hips.
"I CAN'T SUMMON ANY MONSTER!"
"GIVE ME THE CARD YOU RA-DAMNED COWARD!"
"DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!"
"DO YOU WANT TO DIE? I DON'T, NOW GIVE ME YOUR STUPID MONSTER!"
Briefly Touzoku-Oh wondered how they managed to scream that long that loud, than a movement out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. The Pharaoh and his priests before, with their backs to him and the kid, had turned and stared now from the two children to him and back at the two strangers.
"WE ARE GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEE!"
"STOP THAT AND GIVE ME THE CARD!"
Touzoku-Oh saw how they exchanged some card and than they rushed past him and hit the water.
"That didn't go well." Ramseus commented by his side.
Below them the tri-coloured kid's head broke trough the surface and after an instance the white-haired one's head followed. Before anyone of them could exchange insults or other phrases, the water around them glowed read and blinded everybody.
Touzoku-Oh opened his eyes and starred down at a very big, very red monster that looked slightly like a snake with his long tail slashing trough the water behind it.
"Ups!" The Pharaoh look-alike said while he kneeled on the head of the monster. He flashed the white head a bright smile.
"You did that on purpose. Try something like that again and I will slit your throat as soon as we are back on safe ground." The threat was spoken monotone and after that the blue-clad teen didn't move; he only looked at the other with narrowed eyes.
Without a sound and as soft as a feather Touzoku-Oh and the rest landed behind the two on Slyfer. They recognised them non-the less immediately and turned to stare at them like they were ghosts.
"Oh." The tri-coloured commented while his eyes were as big as saucers.
"Great." The white-haired muttered and narrowed his eyes further.
"Long time not seen, Bakura, Yami!" The green-eyed kid said with his voice bordering between amusement and seriousness.
"What the fuck do you think, Ramseus! Bringing our past-selves here was one of the most stupid things you have ever accomplished in your poor, little life!" Ramseus shifted his eyes to the white-haired boy and brown and green clashed.
"Please tell me that you are the source for this gigantic monster above Domino." The other kid looked almost pleadingly at Ramseus who glanced briefly his way before settling back on starring down the white-haired teen.
"Yes, I was the monster. Don't worry about consequences, there won't be any."
"I demand an explanation! What have you done, Tomb robber?" The Pharaoh screeched. Yes, actually screeched, a Pharaoh can do that, too.
"I didn't do anything, maybe you and your almighty priests are the cause for THIS?"
Before Touzoku-Oh and Atemu could end up in a verbal fight, Ramseus lifted one hand.
"Please, if you want answers, ask me. Nobody of you is to blame for the happenings in the last…hours?"
"Minutes." The white-haired corrected him.
"Thanks, I'm still messing with the time declarations. However, if you have already done a wild guess, you have maybe come to the conclusion that you are in the future."
"WHAT?"
This time it was the priest girl, Mana, to screech, together with some other Egyptians we won't name here.
"To be exact, 3000 years in the future. Your palace has long before become a pill of rubble, Pharaoh." Said Pharaoh paled considerable.
"Not to forget that your gold will be nothing but useless crap by now, thief." The white-haired teen shot the other a death glare for this statement.
"Don't overdo yourself, Yami. You don't know what I made mine all these millenniums ago!"
"Oh, I am sure you specialised yourself on gold, Bakura! You were surly not able to steal anything really unique like jewels which would have been able to overcome these years."
"Do you indicate anything?"
"Only that you were a lousy robber."
Touzoku-Oh blinked at the two bickering kids. Normally it was him who got accused of thievery.
"So, while those two are gonna try to shred each other to pieces, I will tell you more about this time and how you came here." Ramseus had turned around to Pharao&Co and motioned them further away from the two strange children. Pharaoh and Priests eyed Tomb robber and the other way round but finally the settled down on the cool skin of Slyfer.
"I am called Ramseus as I have already introduced myself to you, Touzoku-Oh. These two behind me are Yami and Bakura. The one with the spiky hair is Yami and the one with the long, white mane is Bakura. They are the future-selves of you, Atemu, and you,Touzoku-Oh."
Silence.
More Silence.
And a little bitmore Silence.
"Don't you want to jump to your feet and accuse me of being a liar?" Ramseus asked curiously.
"As strange as it seems, I believe you." Everybody stared at Touzoku-Oh. Atemu coughed. Everybody stared at the Pharaoh.
"I believe you, too."
"Uhm…ok. So, you already know that you are 3000 years in the future. That means that the spirits –your future-selves- are something more than 3000 years old are. Their/Your souls were sealed into the Milleniumpuzzle and the Milleniumring. I brought you to the future by accident; you were somehow in my way when I prepared my time trip. And I don't know how I should send you back, so don't even ask! We have to figure that out later together with Malik and Ishizu." Ramseus glanced over his shoulder. "That means when the two of you have stopped rambling about the uselessness of each other."
"I HEARD THAT, YOU POTATO!"
"Great, does that mean you two will stop your immature fight and we can go back to Domino city?"
"Immature? IMMATURE? You are the one who shouldn't talk about maturity! Who nearly blew up school just because he got detention? And wanted to gauge out the eyes of the teacher when he told him that he has a nice ass?"
"That wasn't the only reason!" Ramseus grumbled clearly annoyed in his non-existent beard. "And now isn't the time to discuss such low topics. Yami, please bring us back to Domino!"
"Only if you never bother us again after this incident."
"It was an accident that we landed here! I didn't want to see you again or something like that! I just wanted A DAMNED VACATION!"
"Take your vacation in your own world." Bakura mumbled and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Yami just sighed and sat down on the head of Slyfer. He whispered something just for him and the monster to hear and the next moment Slyfer lifted itself up from the ocean and took course in some direction, hopefully with the destination Domino.
"We would be faster with Ra."
"Shut up."
"He would be able to fly ten times faster than Obelisk."
"Shut up."
"Besides, it is easier to control him."
"Shut up."
"And you wouldn't have to bother to come with us."
"Shut up."
"You could have saved yourself a massive amount of time and stress."
"Shut up."
"Not to mention that you would be able to spend more time with your brother."
Ishizu looked clearly irritated to the two males that sat some feet away from her.
Only little time after Seto Kaiba, Ishizu Ishtar and her younger brother Malik had left Domino with the intention to find the big monster that had appeared above the city, Marik had taken over the body of Malik and was now…conversing with Kaiba. If you could call angering him to no end conversing.
"Would you two please be silent for more than three minutes? Some people here don't want to hear your stupid small-talk all day."
"Why don't you join us then, sweet sister heart, and make our conversation more…philosophical?"
"How is it with: Give my brother his body back and vanish in the Shadow Realm?"
"Awwwwww! Technically I am your brother, too. So you want your own family member to get lost?"
"Exactly."
"I am hurt."
"Good."
"You are sure you didn't damage their psyche somehow?" Bakura asked as he eyed the group of Egyptians, who sat peacefully on Slyfer, warily.
"Now that you mention it…Weren't you a little bit more…fiery?"
"Please referrer to us as different persons or this will get very confusing very soon." Yami spoke up behind them.
"Ok, ok, I get it. So it seems they aren't really themselves…Wait…...Weren't there some more priests before?" Ramseus glanced around quickly in search for some apparently missing Egyptians.
"Shit!" Bakura jumped to his feet. "Hey, Pharaoh!"
Yami's and Atemu's heads snapped around to him.
"What?" They asked in unison.
"Errr…I mean, Atemu! Where are your priests?"
The Pharaoh looked around but all that was left from his priests were Seth, Isis and Mana.
"I think they were drawn back into their own time." Ramseus announced.
"Why didn't you feel that!" Atemu screeched. "Can we go back the same way?"
"I am sorry, Pha- Atemu, that has been pure luck. It can only happen by accident again."
"Can't we use the Milleniumitems?"
Everybody stared at Touzoku-Oh.
"WHAT!"
"You are so…mature. Not even after 3000 years you have…grown up that much." Yami stuttered what got him a death glare from Bakura who just huffed something about "At least I didn't forget everything about my life, grandpa!"
That was it for now. Please review if you like it or if I should change something.
Thanks,
Sacral
