extra note: Yami did not leave after the ceremonial duel.
--------------------------
Last Time: "Wait, so let me get straight," Yugi started, "You guys have been protecting the Pharaoh since before the Shadow Games, and you control the Egyptian Gods, and you control the forces of fire, ice, and lightning, and now, of all things, a demon dragon is coming to destroy the planet!?"
"Yes" replied the guardians, rather calmly.
-------------------------
Chapter 4: The Guardian's Origin
Yami and Yugi were really trying to piece all the information they had just received into a logical explanation, needless to say, they failed.
"My Pharaoh, perhaps we should start from the beginning..." Tyr said,
"We have existed since before the time of Atlantis, the Great Leviathan, if you can call it that, showed but a fraction of the power the Demon Dragon possesses, however the Orichalcos had nothing to do with sealing that beast, we were responsible for that, with the help of the Egyptian Gods, and our own powers, we sealed the beast below the sea, hoping to never see it resurface, but, as fate would have it, it did somehow find a way to come back, but destiny also had a way to destroy it for good, with the Nameless Pharaoh, finding the true light in your heart had found a way to destroy what we could not, but now we understand why we couldn't destroy it ourselves, it was meant as a test to show you that you are capable of so much more than you could ever imagine."
"Then of course, there was the time 5000 years later in the time of Ancient Egypt," Tyren continued...
"When we met you, Atem," The Phararoh recognized his true name,
"We were confident that you would reign in peace, and that the world would be a safe place, but, fate had intervened once again, because it was then that the Demon Dragon first appeared, but it showed in a place far from Egypt, so you were not informed of this, so we took it upon ourselves to rid the world of such a monstrosity, so we traveled to what is now known as the Bermuda Triangle, there has always been rumors of strange things happening there, and somehow that is where it emerged,."
"That is where the Great Battle took place..." Tai spoke after standing silently for awhile, with a sad tone in his voice,
Tyr looked at him, "Yes, that battle is surely something we will never forget,"
"Just the beast itself was something we had never seen before, a creature that embodied pure destruction, and had the power to show for it, it attacked with a force we had never expected, before we could even launch an attack, it had sent what seemed like thousands of dark lasers that formed out of nowhere, like his aura itself had solidified his power and sent them outwards at us, we dodged a few, but we didn't hold it up for long," she paused.
She began to speak again when, "I was struck first," Tai said, "the sheer impact of the blast had nearly destroyed me, if it wasn't for The Winged Dragon of Ra,... I would have died, it transformed into Phoenix Mode, and blocked it's next attack, however, Ra was seriously injured, and I had no way to help him, if Slifer the Sky Dragon and Obelisk the Tormentor had not been there, there would have been no way that either of us would have survived." So that was why Tai had such a sad tone in his voice.
"Throughout the years we had never been up against a creature this powerful before, we really had no way to destroy it, just the Gods and us were not enough, the most we could do was drive the creature away, and hope it would never come back, but we managed to stall it for some time, we had learned many spells and other magic incantations that were used mainly for binding, we had found a way to merge other kinds of binding spells to create a magic that opened up a vortex within the Triangle that then absorbed the beast and we used the knowledge of the Shadow Magic you wield, to make a gate that was locked on his side and ours."
"And now, according to Kalzar, it has found a way to unlock the gate, and come back."
"But wait," Yugi said, "how did you get sealed away then?, I mean you said that you told the Gods to watch over the Pharaoh, and that when we summoned them, that was when you came back, how did all that happen?
"After we sealed the Demon Dragon, we were heavily drained of our powers, therefore, we came back to Egypt and asked the Pharaoh to use his own Shadow magic to seal our souls to the Egyptian Gods, so the ritual took place in the Pharaoh's throne room, our souls were then tied to the Gods until we were fully healed, we had no idea it would take this long though, and of course we have to take into account that the Pharaoh was then sealed in the Puzzle, so he was not able to call the Gods after we recovered, and by then his memory was gone, so didn't remember us, but at least the Gods followed their orders after all that time, because the first time Slifer the Sky Dragon was summoned by the pharaoh during the fight against Bakura during the Battle City Finals, I was released, the fight against Marik when you called Obelisk, Tyren was released, then when you summoned Ra against Yugi in the ceremonial duel, Tai was released."
"Wow" said Yami, "I had no idea so much had happened in all these years, and all this is still new to me."
"We know it is confusing, but the point is, we're here now and that is what counts."
"I have another question," Yugi said, "what are those gems around your neck for?"
Yami and Yugi had noticed that all three guardians, wore similar outfits, Tyr wore red for fire, Tyren wore blue for ice, and Tai wore yellow for lightning, their eyes matched their attire, Tyr had crimson, Tyren had a deep sapphire blue, and Tai had golden. The thing that caught attention besides the obvious wings and such, was that they each had a stone hanging off of their leather chokers.
"oh these, these are a way of disguising ourselves so we can walk amongst humans" Tyr said, "Mine is known as the Sacred Heart Ruby, Tyren's is known as the Soul Sapphire, and Tai's is known as the Spirit Topaz, you can say they hold our demon warrior form, observe,"
With that, all three stones began to glow, and in a blinding flash, all three guardians changed from their demon forms to look like regular teenagers, Yami and Yugi were surprised to say the least...
