Flashback:

-Let's sit in the meeting room. Jean will bring breakfast to everyone there. – Said Yami and led them to a closed room. He left the doors opened and maybe a second later Jean came in with their food. Everyone took what they wanted but Yami just stared threw the window.

-Yami, why don't you eat something? – Jean asked. He looked at her and threw her a small smile.

-I'm not really hungry, Jean. Don't worry. – He said. Everyone finished very fast and when Yami wanted to help Jean bring everything out she stopped him.

-We will take it out later. You have to talk with your friends and make some things clear. I'll be right here if you miss something. – She said and took her place beside him. He took a deep breath and nodded his head to himself.

-Where should I start...

End flashback

-Where should I start? – Yami asked more himself then anyone else.

-Maybe at the beginning. Starting with why you left? – Said Joey.

-And does Jean know everything. You introduced me as your former host so I believe she knows. – Said Yugi. Yami nodded, took a deep breath and started the story:

-When Yugi and I parted I felt like a stranger in this world. Nothing I had was truly mine. I wanted to prove myself I was able to lead my life alone not depending on Yugi, or anyone else that is. Then happened something... something that made my decision to leave permanent. I wanted to tell you I was leaving but I knew you would try to stop me and, then, I just couldn't let that happen. I left planning to send you a letter when I get settled and everything. I got a job in one of the museums as a housekeeper. I had a job and somewhere to stay. One day the guy that led the tourists got sick and one girl asked me to lead the tour. I enjoyed the work there. I learned many things. One day I met Jean and we went out for a coffee and I learned she attended this academy for archeologists. I liked the thought of that so I went there to join the program. I was the best in my class. Jean and I were always competing. I wanted so much to send you a letter but it got harder and harder every day. I got very sick one day and it took a lot from me. Jean was always there for me and with her help I finished the academy. One day she caught me doing some research on the millennium objects and questions flew like bullets.

-I wanted to know why was he so interested in those objects. He was silent for good two months when he finally let go and said the whole story to me. I remember bugging him to write to you every day. He wrote the letter I assure you but...

-Somehow I never got the courage to send it away. And then I saw in the news papers that Grandpa died. I was there, on the funeral, and it was too much to see you all there. – He stopped when he almost said it hurt him more to see Tea in another mans arms.

-We never saw you there? Why didn't you come to us then and there? It was 6 years ago? – Yugi asked.

-I wanted but... I was afraid, afraid of your reaction, afraid of what could happened if... – his knuckles were white with the force he clenched his fists. Jean placed her hand on his and he obviously relaxed a bit. – I went back to Egypt. In the next 6 years I devoted all my time to my job. I found thing's thought to be lost forever. I decrypted codes and prophecies founding things that could turn the whole world upside down and my latest discovery, it seams, has just that in mind. Over the years I made myself forget, convincing myself it was the best for you and for me if it would stay this way, but obviously the fates decided to play a game with me.

-The fates? – Asked the ever so clever Joey.

-Fate, destiny and choice. The three sisters that control the world knitting the fates of every human in the grand carpet of the world. Though neither of them loves me too much. – He said and smiled melancholically. Jean laughed at the comment. Yami shook his head.

-Anyway. What I found in the last tomb isn't similar to anything I ever saw. The hieroglyphs are the ones of the forgotten language and it will take me more time then ever to decrypt them. But from what I managed to decrypt they speak of some grand All Seeing Eye with powers so destroying and dangerous it could erase the human race if it gets to the wrong hands. – He stood up and left to a plasma screen that just appeared on the wall. There was a picture of a small stone with something engraved on it. - I managed to decrypt the writings. It says:

Follow the footsteps of the greatest prophet

You will find the hidden way.

Read the writings long forgotten

But be careful not to go astray.

Dancing shadows will lead you further

And you shall dance with the dancing thunder,

When the dance comes to its end,

You'll learn where you're about to be sent.

There was silence in the room for few minutes and Yami went back to his seat.

-What the hell does that mean? – Asked Joey.

-Actually we don't know, but we found something that could be related to this. – Said Yami. The picture changed and there was shown a ruined city. – This is the City of prophets. We think it has something to do with this song. – Yami finished.

-How can you be so sure it is what has to be found? – Asked Duke.

-Because we found something with the help of the satellites. It is a mass of hidden passageways under the city. AND it was the last place the great Prophet was in.

-Oh... but what when we get there? Who will pay for all of this? And who the hell is this great prophet? – Asked Joey.

-We will take a look around, I took care of everything and the Great prophet is also known as the forgotten prophet. He predicted the fall of Egypt under the hand of the all mighty God. He and his followers created something that could destroy the world if it gets to the wrong hands. – Said Yami.

-But what does it have to do with the disasters? – Asked Tea.

-It has everything to do with them. The disasters started two months ago, when Yami opened the tomb. With it he started the great cycle of lining. When all the planets come into a perfect line a new tomb will be opened and it will lead to a weapon of such destructive power, even the nuclear bombs can't cope with. We have one month to find a way to get to that chamber before the complete lining or the world could be destroyed. – Said Jean.

-How? If no one finds the tomb then no one will have the chance to use that weapon and the tomb will seal itself. –Said Tea.

-No it won't. – Yami spoke silently. Everyone looked at him. – The legend says that if no one gets to the doors and they open in the last faze of the lining the weapon will destroy the whole world. If a person with good intentions comes to it and somehow gets the control over the weapon it will be under his command and do his biddings. But, if someone with foul intentions gets there first the weapon will be under his command and we all know what could happen then.

-So we have to find that tomb and save the world. How hard could that be? At least we don't have somebody evil who would chase us and try to kill us! – Said Joey. Everyone agreed but Yami looked as if someone just smacked him from behind.

-I'm sorry to burst your bubbles Joey but I think you are wrong. – Everyone fell silent.

-What do you mean? – Asked Jean.

-I forgot to tell you something that happened maybe one week after I discovered the tomb. When I talked to you, you were in Scotland and when I finished our talk a man came searching for me. He asked about the tomb and he talked about destiny and power and something. I though he was insane. Few times it happened so I stopped even listening. He offered me a great deal of money if I accept working for him to find something he called the Cradle of destiny. I asked him to leave and never to return. Later I forgot about him and concentrated on the tomb. Jean came to me two days ago with the pictures of all the disasters saying it all started few days after I called her and informed her about the discovery. We didn't know what to do so I called the only people of whom I know could help me. – He looked up and looked at every one of them. – Tristen and Joey are the most famous people concerning technology and satellites. Tea is great in astrology and Yugi is my former host and an expert in Egyptology, concerning our past together. I don't like to mingle with people so I barely know someone in the taller circles of the society and that's why I need you Duke. You know people and I'm sure you met some of the world's greatest collectors. I need you to try and remember everyone who might be interest in ancient Egyptian legends. – Duke nodded his head. – When we land I will lead you to my house. I have a laboratory there and I need you two to brake threw NASA security codes and get me any information that could help us know the center of all the disasters. –He said looking at Joey and Tristen. – Tea you will work with Jena and try to discover in which faze are the planets and try to get a hang in how long we exactly have until the lining gets to its end. Yugi you will help me with the lines I still have to decrypt, all right? – Tea and Yugi nodded their heads. Yami got up and Jean followed him. –Go and rest. We still have few hours 'til we reach Cairo. – He took the plates and everything and disappeared in the kitchen.

-See you later. – Said Jean and followed him. The gang was left there alone.

-Well it seams we're up for another adventure. – Said Yugi.

-It was bloody time! I was getting board doing the same thing every day. – Said Joey.

-I don't know about you guys but I'm up for a good nap. I haven't had any sleep last night trying to get ready. – Said Yugi. Tea got up and headed for the bedroom not saying a word.

-What has gotten into her? – Asked Tristen.

-I don't know. I guess she's just tired. – Said Yugi. Everyone went to sleep. Tea left to check Annie and found her sound asleep. She sat on the bed and gently caressed the soft cheek of her little daughter.

-What has gotten into me? The moment I saw him something moved in me, something I though was long forgotten. - She whispered to herself. –It shouldn't have been like this. You should have had a father, a family... – She sighed and looked out the window. The clouds danced around the jet. Why did you leave Yami? What truly happened? You kept something secret? What happened? She lied beside Annie cradling the five year old in her arms. Soon she fell asleep and dreams visited her world...

Yami sat in the living room with a glass of scotch in his hand. He heard footsteps and then a hand was placed on his shoulder.

-This was the right thing to do and you know it. – Jean said.

-I know. It as just...to painful...
