Yu-Gi-Oh!
Reuniting Darkness with Light
The Guardian Goddesses
After the pink-haired Athena Bubo defeated her former fiancé and sentenced him into oblivion, Rebecca importantly asked, "Why did he challenge Téa instead of Yugi?" Pulling herself together, Athena stood up and hugged Téa again, "Because she is one of the few chosen ones for the safety of our future!"
Sarcastically, Joey mimed a cigar, "Have you been on something lately, Athena?" Tristan agreed, "Usually Yugi is involved with these things." Duke importantly said, "He's had the Millennium Items and he's gotten into and out of worse situations such as yours, Athena. So how can Téa be like that?"
Athena answered, "It goes beyond Ancient Egypt and Atlantis. It was around the time when some people once knew all the lands were one, but then… starting their own wars, they forced all landed to divide." Yugi tried to process it, "The time when some people once knew all the lands were one?" Then he figured it out; "Pangaea!"
In his New Yorker accent, Joey asked, "Pan-who's-a?" Duke explained, "Pangaea! It is when all 7 of the Earth's continents were once one big hunk of land millions of years ago. But then the Tectonic Plates began to shift and formed into the Earth it is today! Don't you take paleontology?"
Joey was impressed, "Wow! But still, what does it have to do with Téa?" Athena shyly said, "If you want to know some answers, I'd advise all those who are most acquainted to Téa Gardner to come with me." After heading to the pier, a helicopter took Athena, Téa, Mai, Rebecca, Serenity, Bakura, Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Duke, & the Kaiba Bros., on a 3-hour flight to a huge castle!
During flight, after having a first glimpse of the castle, Duke Devlin felt a little bit uneasy as he said, "That's a creepy castle." Joey disagreed, "It's not creepy, it's rose pink!" Serenity cheerfully added in, "Look at the statues and gardens! Aren't they the loveliest sights you have ever seen?" Mai agreed, "I like Athena's home sweet home, whoever her boss is, she knows how to be beautiful." Duke glared, "Don't let your enemies deceive you!"
As they landed, they walked through the gardens. Yugi said, "And I thought Kaiba Corp was big, and Duelist Kingdom. And everyone has got longer legs than I do." Joey agreed, when looking from the ground to the top of the castle, "Yeah, what does her boss pay her for? 5 grand for stair-climbing for an hour?"
As they entered the castle, not only is there a lot of stairs, but a lot of mega-fancy things and various crystal statues of Duel Monsters! Joey commented, "I was… kind a kidding about the stairs." Mai gasped, "Whoever her boss is, she must be really loaded!" Rebecca added looking at an amethyst Witch of the Black Forest statue, "Big time."
A brunette from beside the statue Rebecca was looking at laughed like Mai, they looked and saw her! Not only does she dress like Mai, but almost looks exactly like her! She greeted Mai, "It is a pleasure to meet me." Mai freaked out a little, the Mai-double responded, "Ooo! She's pretty feisty! Ain't she, Athena?"
Athena timidly said, "She's just surprised to meet someone like you, Terra Cotta." Mai was even more surprised, "You're Terra Cotta? The famous female Earth Duelist?" Terra held up a hand and said, "No need for formalities, sugar." A strong-willed female voice was heard from Athena's Phoenix Duel Disk, "Athena, Terra, please report the Pharaoh and his friends up to my main office."
After climbing about several stories of stairs, Joey exhaustedly said, "Hey, Terra, Athena." Terra replied, "Yes, Joseph?" Joey said, "Is there going to be a grand buffet upstairs in your boss's main office, and perhaps some soft chairs? I'm tired and hungry!" Mokuba agreed with him, "Yeah, it's been about 5 hours!"
When they finally made it to the boss's office, Joey's question was immediately answered as 'yes'! Joey, Tristan, Duke, and Mokuba's eyes sparkled and their mouths drooled with joy as they cried out, "Feeding Frenzy!" Joey gulped down as many doughnuts he could reach, Tristan grabbed a huge turkey leg in one hand and began to eat it like an animal, Duke snatched as much cheese as possible, and Mokuba ate as much super-cool fast food he could see (such as pizza, tacos, burgers, etc.)!
Terra sweat drops, "They sure do eat a lot." Mai silently agrees, "Whenever Joey sees something edible, there's no stopping him." Mai's words were taken for real when Tristan and Joey fight over a huge apple-cinnamon pie like it was a tug-of-war… with dumb luck; Joey won (having the pie in his face) and sent Tristan flying headfirst into a super-fancy cake (looks almost like a wedding cake)! Mai sweat drops, "See what I mean?"
Bakura's stomach growled with envy, "Oh, dear." Bakura dashed to help Tristan out of the cake, "Are you okay, mate?" Tristan cheered up, "Are you kidding, I owe my consciousness to a super-fancy cake!" With curiosity, Bakura fingered some of the cake remnants (leftover crust and icing) off of Tristan's face and placed it in his mouth. He smiled as he swallowed the stuff he took a taste of, "Mmm, marzipan crumbs with white frosting and angel food cake." Bakura went to cutting a piece of the cake to eat.
Téa sweat drops, "is your boss here yet?" The voice that was on Athena's Phoenix Duel Disk answered behind a chair behind a big desk, "I have been waiting for you… Téa Gardner, Mai Valentine, Rebecca Hawkins, and Serenity Wheeler." Everyone turned to look at that particular chair as it turned, to reveal a young woman. She seems to be a little older than Téa, but a little younger than Mai. Her attire is feminine in comparison to Pegasus's formal attire he wore at Duelist Kingdom, and it's white! She has such a face as pretty of Serenity's but as stern as when Yugi turns to Yami, she has platinum-blonde hair with soft blue eyes. The brooch she wears on her shirt is a blue sapphire orb with a green jade blotch in a very unusual shape. She strongly looks into the eyes of the guests.
Joey panicked a little, "Um… was this stuff for you, miss?" Tristan followed, "If it is, we're absolutely sorry!" Athena's boss replied, "It was prepared for you when you'd arrive, I have calculated that it would be a long journey from Domino to Pangaea Memory Island, that is the name of my island." Yugi asked, "Who might you be? And what does Téa, Mai, Rebecca, & Serenity have to do with you?" Athena's boss answered, "They are the other half that were need for the friendly ceremony that's going to be held here, and my name is Zoë Pangaea."
Mai was curious, "That doesn't make any sense." Serenity asked Zoë, "What is this ceremony about?" Zoë first asked, "Have any of you ever hear about the legend of King Arthur?" Joey, after wiping his face clean, answered, "Yeah, everybody knows it; a little boy pulls out the legendary Sword from the Stone, while others couldn't, and becomes king." Zoë went on, "Then you would also figure out that Téa, Mai, Serenity, Ishitzu, Rebecca, & Melody are chosen to perform a ceremony similar to the legend."
Tristan got confused, "That part I missed." Then they all figured out that answer as it was lightning! Téa said, "Wait a minute! Does that mean you've summoned us here to see if we're worthy of something similar to the Divine Monsters?" Zoë nods, "That's half-precise. You six are worthy of the Guardian Goddesses."
Joey loudly shouts out, "Six? The last time I counted the girls, there were four! Who are the other two?" A familiar male voice answers Joey from behind, "You should really check your surroundings next time, Joey." Joey looked and found 3 familiar Egyptian faces, "Marik, Ishizu, & Odion?"
Then a fourth familiar face came along, a blue-haired girl with an angelic face and a yellow ribbon in her hair (almost reminds you of the Maiden of Aqua). Tristan felt like a bomb was just dropped onto him, "Ribbon? What are you doing here?" Melody Daitokuji (a.k.a. Ribbon) shyly answered, "Same as you, I guess." Ms. Pangaea then said, "If anybody is done with the high school reunion, will you please come with me?"
As the group marched down to one of the castle's sub-basements, which happens to look more like a temple. In the center of this 'temple', are six female humanoid statues of crystal on a round stone pedestal with a six-pointed Star of David. One of each of the statues stood praying on each point of the Star. Each one is in a different color and with a different weapon stuck in it; one is red (with a chain), blue (with a trident), gold (with a long-sword), violet (with a broad sword), green (with a bow), & brown (with an axe). And that particular magic circle is similar to the Seal of Balancéa!
Ms. Pangaea explained, "Long ago, before Egypt and Atlantis, existed many other lands of legend. There are monsters with powers similar to the Egyptian God Cards and the Legendary Dragon Cards. If one possesses just one of these Guardian Goddess Cards, you just have the power of an Egyptian God Card and a Legendary Dragon Card. Possess two, you can then command a million armies. Possess all, and the whole world will be your kingdom."
Joey was impressed, "Giving just one of them to my sister. That's a huge responsibility." The others agreed. Seto Kaiba asked Ms. Pangaea, "What are their names, Pangaea?"
Ms. Pangaea answered, "These are the Guardian Goddesses of the many lands, Tenaku the Supporter (the violet one), Miaka the Amazon (the red one), Serena the Warrior (the gold one), Isis the Guardian (the green one), Ryomi the Priestess (the brown one), & Miho the Peaceful (the blue one). Now ladies, close your eyes and open your hearts to feel the celestial energies of these Guardian Goddesses, and then follow those to the statues."
The girls complied. Téa blindly but perfectly walked straight to Tenaku, Mai went to Miaka, Serenity came to Serena, Ishitzu touched Isis, Rebecca felt the power of Ryomi, and Melody came to touch Miho. With ease, each girl pulled out the weapons from each statue!
Téa was impressed, "This broad sword is awfully light!" Mai swung the chain around a little, "Suddenly I feel like my Amazoness Chain-master." Serenity felt her long sword, "I'm stronger than I thought." Ishitzu felt the string on the bow, "It's awfully soft yet strong." Rebecca smirked, "This is the silliest axe I ever felt." Melody felt the trident, "Is Miho a monster of water?"
Suddenly each statue began to crack and shatter! The statues turned into the very monsters they once shaped! Tenaku looks like the Dark Magician Girl with some of Téa's features added onto her! Miaka looks like an Amazoness Paladin version of Mai! Serena looks like Serenity has grown into an adult and is dressed like the monster of light St. Joan! Isis is like Ishitzu, only with gleaming emerald armor and golden angelic wings! Ryomi looks like the Dark Magician Girl polymerized with Maha Vailo, but she's got brown robes on and green jewelry! Miho is like Melody, but she's got lightweight treated blue silk armor to resemble fish fins!
Téa says, "Tenaku the Supporter." Mai says, "Miaka the Amazon." Serenity says, "Serena the Warrior." Ishitzu says, "Isis the Guardian." Rebecca says, "Ryomi the Priestess." Melody says, "And Miho the Peaceful." The Guardian Goddesses knelt to their own worthy owners who spoke their names and turned into Duel Monsters cards! The girls picked up their respective cards, each one the same color as their respective statues were.
Seto does not believe a thing he's actually seeing, "What's going on here? Those women are the only ones Duelist enough to have those so-called almighty cards? I don't believe this! How am I involved, Pangaea?"
Ms. Pangaea answered, "I have a mission for you all." Everyone listened to her as she continued, "A particular Duel Monsters tournament is being held. The Guardian Goddesses will be the ones who will help you find the Great Spirit Cards, their male counterparts." Joey got confused but understood it completely, "Great Spirit Cards? Do you mean to say that there are six other cards that may be needing us?" Pangaea nodded and said, "And Mr. S. Kaiba, you're not the only one who may need these cards' help."
Kaiba's eyes widened with surprise as he thought, "And how could she also know what I was thinking?" Sensing doubt that Yugi's gang could accomplish this mission she's given them, Ms. Pangaea spoke, "In case you need time to explore your souls, each of you may have this set of cards. And I will send my top 6 assistants to accompany you for this Tournament."
As each person got the set of three cards each, all of them were surprised on what they got! Seto exclaimed, "The Seal of Orichalcos?" Mokuba followed, "The Seal of Destiniop." And Joey cheered, "The Seal of Balancéa!" Yugi was curious, "Each of us gets a Seal of Orichalcos, Destiniop, & Balancéa? What for, Ms. Pangaea?"
Ms. Pangaea explains, "With the Seal of Orichalcos, you may experience your worst sides of yourselves; your dark sides. But with the Seal of Destiniop, you can experience your light side, the side where the light part of your Yin and Yang takes over. But with the Seal of Balancéa, not only will your souls be balanced, but also they can experience new selves. And whoever existed Atemu's heart, that's your god or goddess form."
Kaiba smiles, "It's not like everyday that a set of cards like these are just given to me. We may as well go up against each other until there's no one left but one person." Pangaea sternly looks at Kaiba and says, "You will be able to experience the real 'you', Mr. Kaiba, sooner than you think once you played that combo. Once you leave, each of you will receive a Phoenix Duel Disk in your respective or favorite color." Kaiba says, "Favorite, then I'd say for Athena that pink is out of fashion these days."
As soon as they headed off for the tournament in another land… Téa looked at her Guardian Goddess Card, Tenaku the Supporter, and said to it, "Tenaku, please help us all." A warm feminine voice from within replied, "You and I will find them, my lady."
