CHAPTER 3: THE STONE OF DARKNESS

It was 7:30 in the morning and Professor Slowvo and his team of archeologists were on their way to Egypt to search for a stone that the Egyptians could only describe as an evil stone with dark powers. Slowvo couldn't wait to start looking around and find this unique yet powerful stone.

What were really minutes felt like hours to Slowvo. Slowvo was not only a professor but he was an admirer of Egyptology. The whole thing was like a big mystery to him so going on this expedition was a great honor to him.

They finally reached their designation and Slowvo was hyped. "I can't believe it...we're finally here. Slowvo acted like a kid in a candy store. He told his crew to get to work while he did calculations and figured out stuff. "When we find this stone of darkness it will be the best discovery in the history of humanity!" Slowvo said.

Now it was noon and everyone was taking a well-deserved rest. Everyone but a young Egyptologist who was about as intrigued in the stuff as Slowvo! He was a hard worker and he thought that if he worked hard enough he would find the stone and obtain some type of power or something.

Lunch was over. (For the ones who took lunch) So everyone went back to work but there work was about to be paid off in full. All of a sudden Slowvo felt something was trying to pull him to something.

He stopped typing and like a zombie he walked over to a nearby temple and started to get his tools and started to dig. Slowvo's workers weren't sure what was going on but they did what they could and helped him dig. Then a weird laugh arose from Slowvo it was like he was possessed or something. "...I know where the stone is." he said.

It didn't take long before they found it. The stone glowed faintly and it puzzled everyone there. Why was it glowing and why was Slowvo acting so weird? Those were only a few questions that were left unanswered. Slowvo decided to put the stone in a bulletproof case and then he told everyone to pack up their stuff, but something was scaring the workers to a point where they couldn't move.

A shadow arose from the box and surrounded Slowvo. The workers saw a dragon and a large roar were heard and as fast as it appeared it was gone and Slowvo was normal again. He didn't remember anything about his strange behavior. After the strange encounter everyone headed for the trucks and the other cars and headed for Domino City to start a small exhibit on this strange stone and all of it's mysteries.

During the whole trip the stone glowed and glowed brighter and brighter as they got closer to the city. No one was sure why but they just ignored it. It wouldn't be long before the presence of the stone would be known.

Back in Domino...

It was late at night and as usual everyone was sleeping. Well...not everyone. Yugi was sleeping but the Pharaoh stood by the window all night looking over the city." I sense a deep dark presence approaching the city Yugi we must be aware it seems dangerous," the Pharaoh explained. Yugi then told the Pharaoh that it would be ok and nothing bad would happen if they stayed together. Yami nodded and faded away.

It wasn't long after that that the sun rose and a new day started Wednesday to be exact. A normal routine started and as usual the day went by slowly but everything was normal.

It wasn't until that night that thing went from normal to weird. It was around 8:30 and on the news there was a special report on the stone. Joey watched the report at his apartment and was intrigued by how powerful the stone was and that the stone baffled the archeologist's flashing light. After the report Joey called Yugi and asked," Yug should we be worried about the stone?" Yugi said no and then they talked for a while and later said good-bye. They all went to sleep and chaos was nowhere to be found. But tomorrow is a brand new day.
