Alverna: Here's chapter 2 people!

Bakura: It has a new title.

Ryou: It hit Alverna suddenly so she changed it.

Seto: Good for her.

Joey: Quit with the sarcasm. Alverna does not own Yugioh or Disney's Hercules. Enjoy!


And Wordsorceress, Yami did sell his soul to Pegasus, but there's a little more to story than that. You have to wait to find out what it is though. And Pegasus bad mouthed the Gods before he became a demi-god, which is why they were glaring at him last chapter.

Glad everyone dug 'The Gospel Truth' song. I like it to.


Chapter 2: Pegasus's Plan


"If there's one deity you don't want to get steamed up, it's Pegasus." Mai said to the children as the mural changed to show Pegasus walking through the portals that would take him back to the seventh region of the afterlife, the 'Secret Cavern'.

"Because he had an evil plan." Tea finished, and the children were sucked into the story again as the pictures moved and Rebecca sang.

He ran the Seventh Region,

But thought the dead were dull and uncouth.

He was as mean as ruthless-

And that's the gospel truth.

As Pegasus stepped through the final portal, he was greeted by a large Flame Cerebrus, which snarled and snapped at him. With an eye roll, Pegasus tossed a steak up to the monster, whose three heads began to fight over the piece of meat.

He had a plan to shake things up-

And that's the gospel truth!

Reaching the area where he had made his chambers, Pegasus slammed the front door open with a loud bang.

"REX!" Pegasus shouted, calling for one of his servants.

"Coming, your most wondrousness." Rex called as he ran down some stairs.

Rex had brown hair, brown eyes, and a red snake tail where his legs should be, as well as a pair of brown bat-like wings. He had been a human who died in a crocodile accident. Pegasus had taken him in and used his magic to make Rex a flying Naga, a half-human half-snake with bat-like wings. But he could also be a human if he so desired, which he was right now.

Rex tripped over a crack in one of the steps, bounced down the stairs, and got himself seated on a sharp trident, making him scream in pain.

"Weevil!" Pegasus called.

Weevil had turquoise hair, blue eyes that were covered by golden glasses, a turquoise colored snake tail, and blue bat-like wings the same color as his eyes. Weevil had died in the same crocodile accident as Rex and was also a flying Naga who could turn into a human, which he was right now.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Weevil chuckled nervously as he began to race down the stairs. "I can handle it!"

Rex and Weevil could also change their forms to other animals, real or mythological.

Rex got free from the trident and rubbed his sore rear, but got plowed over by Weevil. As the two fell, they changed to their Naga forms and landed at Pegasus's feet. Pegasus sighed and rolled his eyes at the idiocy of the two.

"Rex!" Rex exclaimed as he leapt up, knocking Weevil off him.

"And Weevil!" Weevil added as he leapt up.

"Reporting for duty!" Rex and Weevil said together with a salute.

"Fine, fine, fine." Pegasus said as he swept past them. "Just let me know the instant my Father arrives."

"Oh! He's here!" Weevil said cheerfully.

"What?" Pegasus's hair exploded into black flames in his anger. "My father is here and you didn't tell me?"

"Oh! We are worms!" Rex and Weevil proclaimed loudly as they fell at Pegasus's feet, shape shifted into worms, and sobbed. "Worthless worms!"

"Memo to me, memo to me." Pegasus groaned as he calmed down, his hair going back to its normal silver. "Maim you after my meeting."

Pegasus entered the main room, where his father, the Egyptian God of Destiny and Fate, Shai, was standing with Anubis. They were looking at a magical picture of an elderly woman.

"It's time." Shai said to Anubis, who nodded and left the room.

Shai and Pegasus watched the magic protection as Anubis entered the room, invisible to mortal eyes, and gently took the woman's soul from her body, ending her life on earth. Anubis then guided the woman's soul to the area where she would wait for Ra's boat to take her, and those who had also died that day, to the Hall of Judgment in the Third Region of Duat.

"Father." Pegasus greeted. "I am so sorry that I'm-"

"Late?" Shai asked with a small smile. "I knew you would be. I know everything. Past, present, and future. Apparently there's this thing called indoor plumbing that's coming round in 5,000 years. And it's going be big."

"Great." Pegasus nodded, uninterested. "Anyway, I was at this party, and I lost track of-"

"I know." Shai nodded.

"I know you know." Pegasus sighed as he walked over to a board with game pieces of the Egyptian God. "So, here's the deal. Ra. Mr. High and Mighty, Mr. 'Hey, you, get out of my sky,' now he has-"

"A bouncing baby brat." Shai interrupted, stating what Pegasus would say. "I know. Lord Ra has made a big deal out of little Heba."

"I know you know!" Pegasus exploded briefly and calmed down as he placed a cradle with baby Heba on his playing board. "I know. I got it. I got the concept, so let me just ask: Is this kid going to mess up my hostile takeover big, or what? What do you think?"

"I'm sorry son." Shai shook his head. "I'm not supposed to reveal the future."

But Pegasus had been prepared for this.

Shai was different from most of the other gods. He could be male or female, but chose to be male most of the time. It was time to appeal to the female side.

"Shait." Pegasus looked to his 'father' again to see the female version. "Please?"

"Oh, all right." Shait sighed.

Shait raised 'his' hands to make a ball of magic to show what he was saying, all the while changing between his male and female forms.

Shait: "In 18 years precisely

The planets will align ever so nicely."

"Ay, verse!" Pegasus groaned. "Oy."

Shai: "The time to act will be at hand!

Unleash the Demons, your monstrous band!"

"Mm-hmm, good, good." Pegasus nodded as he watched the Serpopards and El Naddaha entered Ouranos in the magical picture.

Shait: "Then the once-proud Ra will finally fall,

And you, Pegasus, will rule all!"

"Yes!" Pegasus exclaimed. "I rule!"

Shai: "A word of caution to this tale."

"Excuse me?" Pegasus stopped his celebration.

Shai: "Should young Heba fight, you will fail."

Pegasus stood, jaw dropped at his fathers proclamation.

"That's all I have." Shai said as he left the room. "Have a good day my son."

"What?" Pegasus yelled as his hair bursting into flame again, and quickly got control over himself. "Okay, fine, fine, I'm cool, I'm fine."

A bell dinged as a door opened. Pegasus entered the room with Rex and Weevil on either side of him.

"Rex… Weevil?" Pegasus asked, making the two jump in fear. "I've got a little riddle for you. How do you kill a god?"

"I do not… know!" Rex started energetically, but it quickly diminished.

"You can't." Weevil grinned, his tail slapping the Rex's head. "They're immortal?"

"Bingo! They're immortal." Pegasus praised as he grabbed a vial with red liquid inside it, skulls appearing on the bubbles. "So, first you got to turn the little sunspot mortal."


Nephthys once again called for light to fall over Egypt, and little Heba and Hariq snuggled as they slept next to each other. Heba was making soft cooing sounds, and Hariq was making some horse-like snores.

But right outside Heba's room, two snake shadows were crawling closer. At the sound of glass breaking, and some tittering sounds, Ra and Hathor woke groggily.

"Huh?" Ra mumbled as he rubbed sleep from his eyes.

"What is it?" Hathor asked sleepily.

At the same moment, realization struck them.

"The Baby!"

The two deities run to their son's room and gasp. Hariq had been stuffed into a horn shaped basket. As the Firewing pulled himself loose, he whinnied in shock as seeing the cradle overturned, and Heba gone.

"Heba!" Hathor cried out as she fell next to the cradle sobbing.

"No!" Ra screamed, and bolt of the suns energy began to flash in the clouds.

The Gods and Goddesses of Egypt instantly rushed to their ruler's side, none of them noticing two flying Nagas carrying an infant boy.

"Now we've done it!" Weevil exclaimed as they dodged the 'lightning'. "Ra is going to use us for target practice!"

"Just hang onto the kid, Weevil." Rex snapped as they fell into an unmarked portal.

They fell threw the other side, not noticing all of the green of Egypt's neighbor, Japan, around them instead of the sand of Egypt. But they did notice the dead tree they crashed into before hitting the ground, Heba crying at the rough landing.

"Let's just kill the kid and get it over with, okay?" Weevil snappingly asked.

"Here you go, kid." Rex said as he put a baby bottle top on top of the vial Pegasus had given them and shoved it into Heba's mouth. "A little Egyptian formula."

Heba let out of soft noise and began to suck while Rex and Weevil held his arms to prevent struggling. In a few seconds, the golden glow that surrounded his body began to fade, starting at his feet.

"Look at that! He's… changing." Weevil gasped and pointed at the change. "Rex, can we do it now?"

"No, he has to drink the whole potion!" Rex said as he kept his eye on the reducing amount of drink. "Every last drop."

"Who's there?" a man's voice said suddenly.

Rex and Weevil scream and run away in panic, leaving a crying, glow-less, Heba behind. The vial was dropped and it shattered, with one last drop falling to the ground.

"Who's there?" the man's voice said again as he came around the corner.

He man was elderly, with grey hair and violet eyes, and was carrying a torch to bat away the darkness. His name was Sugoroku.

"Oh, you poor thing!" Sugoroku said as he saw Heba on the ground, and picked up the infant, soothing the cries. "Oh, don't cry young one. Is anybody there?"

"Now?" Weevil asked as he and Rex looked on from the bushes.

"Now." Rex nodded with a grin, and the two changed to their snake forms, which were highly poisonous.

"You must have been abandoned." Sugoroku mused over Heba, who was now smiling. "For so many years I've prayed to the gods to ease my lonely heart. Perhaps they've answered that prayer."

Heba cooed softly as Sugoroku wrapped a spare blanket around his body, keeping the boy warm in the cold weather. It was then Sugoroku noticed the medallion around Heba's neck.

"What's this?" Sugoroku asked as he noticed the symbol of some sort of dragon and foreign hieroglyphs. "I can't read this. I knew I should have paid more attention in school."

Heba however, was looking over Sugoroku's shoulder. As the old man turned around, Rex and Weevil attacked. Heba caught them, giggling happily, hit them against the ground several times, tied into a knot, and threw them far away. Sugoroku stared jaw dropped as the baby boy he found giggled innocently.

"You thought that was a game?" Sugoroku asked as he picked Heba back up. "That's it. I'll call you Yugi."

Meanwhile, the strength of the babe's arm had thrown Rex and Weevil back into Egypt. When they landed, they changed back to their naga forms.

"Pegasus is going to kill us when he finds out what happened." Weevil began to panic.

"You mean, if he finds out!" Rex declared, his mind at work.

"Of course he's going to find ou-" Weevil stopped as he caught on. "If… if is good."


"It was tragic." Mai began to narrate again as the picture changed to Ra giving out instructions. "Ra led all the gods on a frantic search."

"But by the time they found the baby, it was too late." Tea said sadly as the lights dimmed and focused on Vivian, who began to sing.

The young one was mortal now,

But since he did not drink the last drop

He still retained his godlike strength-

So thank his lucky star!

But Ra and Hathor wept

Because their son could never come home.

They'd have to watch their precious baby

Grow up from afar.

Though Pegasus's horrid plan

Was hatched before Heba cut his first tooth,

The boy grew stronger every day

And that's the gospel truth!

The lights once again lit up the room, and the story continued.


Alverna: See, Heba's name was changed to Yugi by Sugoroku, (Solomon Mouto).

Yugi: Japan and Egypt are on opposite sides of the world!

Alverna: I made them neighbors in my story. Japan is to the east, but just across the Red Sea.

Atemu: And why hasn't Shai, Pegasus's father, informed Ra of what's going on?

Alverna: Shai believes in letting fate run it's course and doesn't get in the way. And yes, Shai can be a female. Shait is the female version of the name Shai.

Yugi and Atemu: Please review and let us know what you think. Ask questions if you're confused!
