Chapter Four

The Truth

As the seven of them made their way down the lane Yugi Yami and Mahado was making a plan to get away from Mahad. Before they got to the palace. Just then Yugi collapsed and Yami turned to him concerned. "Yugi what happened?" Yami asked causing everyone to turn around. Instantly Malik and Ryou were beside their little brother and Yugi got the go ahead from Mahado. So he relayed the conversation that the three of them had had to Malik and Ryou, who immediately understood.

So what now? asked Ryou

Get Bakura Malik get Marik when Yami says so run.

Got it. both brothers said

"Yugi are you okay?" Yami asked frantic

'Great if he dies then everything is ruined.'

"Uh… I'm f-fine Yami. J-just tired a bit." Yugi said as he waited for Mahado to give him the sign.

Yami now. Got it. thought Yami. Suddenly there was a blast of light and the six brothers were running toward a figure dressed in all black

"Damn you Mahado. How dare you betray me?!" Mahad shouted

"Me? Betray you?!" Mahado shouted back. "How about you betraying the princes and me? When all the Shadows came we promised that we would help the princes when they returned and yet there you are taking them to the Emperor!"

"Shut up Mahado!" shouted Mahad and he launched an attack, but it never got through. Mahado looked behind him and saw that Yugi was creating a shield with his armor.

Mahado was more than shocked. He was speechless. Yami's love had the sacred armor. Something only one person had ever wore before. And that was the king. He has the Sacred Armor!? How?

Scared Armor? What's that Mahado? Yami asked

We need to leave first. Then I'll explain

How do we do that?Marik asked

Leave it to me. Mahado thought. Yami when I say grab Yugi and follow me.

Got it.

But Yami noticed that Yugi was almost out of energy. He knew his small love wouldn't be able to do this much longer. Mahado Yugi's almost out of energy!

Don't worry the gateway is open. Grab Yugi and lets go.

Alright. Yugi lets go. thought Yami to Yugi. But Yugi was completely out of energy and he was falling. "YUGI!" shouted Yami running up beside his fiancé

"Now I have you Yami." said Mahad

"I don't think so Mahad."

"Karina you evil little witch."

"Yami take him through the portal. Mahado is waiting"

"But-"

"Go! I'll be fine!"

"Alright." said Yami taking Yugi through the portal then he saw that Karina followed him.

But once Yami got through the portal and Karina closed it behind her, Yami turned around and was shocked. They were no longer in Radiant. They were in the Motto's game shop and standing beside Malik was someone that looked an awful lot like Yugi, minus the magenta tips. Yami was confused and Malik could see it. So he walked over to his brother-in-law to be, touched him and let the memories pass through them.

"Whoa I never knew Yugi had a twin." said Yami once he had gotten all the memories

"Yeah well we didn't either, about him or you." said Marik with a smile.

"Me? I don't have a twin." he said then looked at Mahado "Do I?"

"Yes Yami you do. Atemu please come here." said Mahado. Just then a boy walked out of the back and Yami recognized him immediately. He was the boy that Yugi hired to help with the shop. He was wearing his usual tight black jeans but his shirt was that of the royal family's.

Atemu just stood there silent until Yugi's twin walked over to him. "Its okay Aibou you'll be fine the Shadow King can't get you here."

"Arigatou Akan." said Atemu walking over to Yami "Its nice to finally meet you." he said and then laughed "I mean as brothers."

"Yeah you too." Yami said laughing as well. "Well all pleasantries aside. Mahado we've got a huge problem. You're brother has become much more powerful."

"Yes I know. Marik Bakura Yami Atemu I think its time you knew the truth. As soon as Yugi wakes up I'll tell you what has happened to our home."

"Alright." said the four brothers.

But they actually didn't have to wait long. Atemu was getting to know his brothers when Yami suddenly got up and left. To say Atemu saw confused was an understatement. So he turned to Marik and asked what was going on. "Yami Yugi Ryou Bakura Malik and I all have the ability of telepathy. So I guess Yami heard Yugi and went to get him."

As if his name had been a summon Yami walked in the room with his arm around Yugi. Marik saw that the shorter boy was still weak from the armor. So he knew now that Yugi was awake his younger brother would want to know everything. But before Yami or anyone could say anything Yugi looked over to where Akan was sitting with his older brothers and a smile broke out.

"Good to see you Akan." said Yugi causing shocked to Yami

"Same here. Although I didn't think you would remember me." said Akan smiling

"Yeah well you should know better than that." Yugi said then looked at Yami and saw he was confused "I met Akan in America about a month after I moved there. He was staying with our aunt and she explained it. But I don't really think that this is the time for my family history. And I think Mahado knows exactly what I mean."

"Your right Yugi I do. Yami Marik Bakura Atemu there's a reason your father sent you here before he died. Atemu he sent you first because he wanted you to have as normal of life as possible. But when it was clear that the Shadows weren't going to stop Lord Radon gave Yami the Radiant pendent hoping that his four sons would find their darkness that fulfilled the prophecy."

"Us." said Akan

"Yes. You four are the ones."

"But I don't understand. Why is the Emperor so hell bent on getting Yami and them?" asked Ryou

"Because the Emperor is their father."
