Youngbountygirl: Now to cover this part, because part of the story isn't just about Yugi and the other Council of the Kings defeating Shrone. There's more to it going on. There will also be a surprising new character. We will add new characters, including Stacy's son, but right now, everyone is preparing, so it's better to just stick with the few. We can't have too many to start with. Enjoy!

Pharaoh Atem, Tut, and Judai entered into the Shadow Realm. The area was a forever darkness with rocky deserted land, no life anywhere (plant or animal) and not a star or a single light in the sky. It was just complete and utter darkness. Of course, there were other parts of this area that showed a different kind of terror, but this was the location where Judai felt a huge number of newcomers. Being that the three kings were of darkness, they created a barrier around themselves to prevent any of the effects of the Shadow Realm harm them. In this area, hunger, thirst, and loneliness was to effect anyone, who came to this area.

Luckily, when Judai sensed the newcomers, he knew something was wrong, so he placed a barrier around the newcomers, so they would not feel the effects of this part of the realm. They would not feel any hunger, thirst, or loneliness. Though, if they had any fear of the dark or landscape, that was nothing he could solve with his own powers. Though, on the positive side, hunger, thirst, and loneliness was the worse than fears humanity had in his/her own self.

Atem and Tut could feel the living souls of the newcomers and knew that Judai was right when he sensed that something was terribly wrong. Something inside the trio feared that these newcomers were sent by Shrone as a start of his destruction, but whom would he bring to this place? The question was answered when they heard a distant crying, not just a crying, but a crying of thousands or a hundred thousand BABIES!?

"Do you hear that?" Atem asked as Tut nodded.

"I hear it too. This is Shrone's doing! Those are children!" Tut responded.

"No, they're babies. Little small innocent infants. I'd know those cries anywhere. That bastard! Of course he would start by the innocent of the innocence!" Judai responded, seething his teeth.

"Then, we must hurry! We can't leave the young ones alone. They must be scared," Atem instructed as the trio made haste and followed the sound of the crying.

The wailing screams from the hundred thousand babies grew louder and louder, never-ending. Fear rose within the trio as they grew closer to the group of newcomers. They soon were able to see the large group inside the invisible barrier Judai had created. It was located at the darkest clearing, but surprisingly showed almost hundreds of campfires and torches. They were about to question this when they found that these babies were being held by older little ones between the ages of 5-3 years old, using their thumbs or fingers as pacifiers. The slightly older kids between 6-9 years old were holding the toddlers ages 11/2-2 years old or playing with them. The oldest of the kids were walking around like a military group or commanders.

The trio stopped, watching the older kids calming the smaller ones down. There was a loud whistle from among the group as they all stood attention, the older ones anyways. There was a girl, who looked older for her age, but was 12 years old. She held straight black hair that was tied in a ponytail, almost black eyes, and bangs right above her eyes. She wore a white t-shirt, a pink skirt that reached to her knees, and white, with cute little hearts, tennis shoes. As cute as she was, she held a commanding face.

"Keep calm, we have our volunteer children's choir!" The young girl announced as she walked from her area and there was a choir of children ages 10-12, who began to seeing a soft sweet lullaby in choir form to help the little infants go to sleep.

"I can't keep the barrier around them forever. We must get them away from this place," Judai said as the two other kings agreed.

"We must," Tut agreed as the trio stepped closer to the area. The screams and wailing of the little infants did begin to cease from the soft singing of the children's choir.

The three dark kings did not know how to get the children's attention. They obviously were trying to keep the smaller infants to rest and their loud sounds could wake them up. There was also the fact these children might be too scared to trust them, especially since a good number of them were preteens. Though, there were hundred thousands of children. How were they going to gain their attention?

"State your name," the girl said; the same girl, who announced the choir earlier. She looked at Atem with seriousness in her eyes. "Are you Yugi Moto?"

"N-No, I'm sorry. My name is Pharaoh Atem, these are my friends Pharaoh Tutankhamun and King Judai. We are from the Council of the Kings and are here to lead everyone back home from this place," Atem said as the girl furrowed her eyebrows deeper.

"Tutankhamun died thousands of years ago. Do you think I'm some sort of moron?"

"Do you even know where you are?" Judai asked as the girl looked at him.

"No."

"You are in the Shadow Realm, it's like hell. A powerful demon named Shrone brought you here. I know you may not believe it, but I'm sure your transportation here must be just as unbelievable," Atem explained as the girl sighed, turning her eyes to the direction of the general group of kids.

"Sounds similar to what the other kid of Domino group said."

"Hm?"

"My name is Kamiko, Prime Minister's daughter and leader of this group. Nothing happens unless I say otherwise. Got it!?" Kamiko introduced in a demanding tone. The three kings nodded. "I don't know how we got here, but we are here and we are trying to make do what we have. I have already organized everyone with caring for the babies like changing dippers and what nots, though we don't have extra dippers on hand. We haven't found any water or food, but nobody's hungry or thirsty surprisingly. If you have any extra dippers, food, water, or at least shelter, I want to know and I want you to show me where before I get the others going."

"I don't know if you've noticed, but I have made a protection barrier here to prevent any hunger or thirst in this area. The Shadow Realm was originally made as a prison for criminals. I knew that something had gone terribly wrong when I felt newcomers, so I made a barrier. If you allow us, we will help you prepare for your long journey out of here. I know these kids are wanting to return home, including yourself," Judai convinced Kamiko as she looked up with her eyes.

"The kid from the Domino group also said what you said. I will give you three the benefit of the doubt. Maybe what you're saying is true and maybe it isn't. Either way, we need to get home. You say you will give us supplies, which is about over thousands of dippers, if you can count. If you can give us that number, I will be willing to bargain with you. Maybe that kid wasn't being imaginative. Then again, that puzzle of his did prove otherwise."

"Puzzle?" Atem almost whispered, wondering about something in his mind.

"Mind telling us how you organized this?" Tut asked curiously.

"We came here and everyone was screaming and crying worse than now, including the older kids. There were many of us going to our siblings and starting fights. It was pretty bad. This probably went on for hours on end; at least it felt like it to me. The kid I mentioned got everyone's attention and told us to focus on caring for the babies, since they are more helpless than the rest of us. Many of us didn't know how to handle kids, so he instructed to use our fingers as pacifiers and try to sing to them, bounce, talk, or play with them to calm them down. I took care of the rest. I decided to take in charge and organized everyone to be in charge of a certain group. We're all split into different groups, depending on what city or area of Japan we live in per population. Us older older kids from ages 10 to 12 are in charge of the group of kids as a whole, including voting. The kids from age three to five years of age are to be responsible for the infants under a year old or one year, if there aren't enough infants. The kids ages six to nine are in charge of the toddlers from one to two years old. The hardest part was for the brats to start acting mature and not crying for their mommies."

"You did very well, Kamiko," Tut complimented the girl as she nodded with a bright smile.

"Thank you. I am the Prime Minister's daughter after all."

"You mentioned about a kid in the Domino group? Does he know about Shrone and what's going on?" Atem asked.

"You can ask him, but you will have to check with Raiden, he's in charge of the Domino group. I will show you to him," Kamiko said as she walked around the group, the trio following her.

Atem, Tut, and Judai watched in horror of the thousands and thousands of children trying to care for the littler ones like parents. They were too young to hold this kind of responsibility! Judai may've prevented the worst of the chaos, but the scars were still there. Many of the kids looked upon the trio as they walked by with fears in their innocent eyes, holding the even more innocent infants. These innocent children were holding back so many tears and cries they wanted to scream from their hearts.

Kamiko reached the group of the kids from Domino City. A young boy about ten years old stepped forward. He held dark green hair cut neatly with hard brown eyes. He wore blue jeans and a stripped black and brown shirt. He walked to the trio right before a smaller boy ran behind him, looking up at Atem in horror. He saw those innocent violet eyes and hair, though cut shorter, that belonged to his dear friend Yugi Moto. He knew right away that this was his son, especially after seeing the puzzle around his neck. He was holding a small infant baby girl in his arms with barely any hair on her head and wrapped in a pink blanket.

"Stay behind me, that's not your father," the boy ordered as Yugi's child shied slightly behind him. The boy looked at the dark kings in the eye. "Who are you three and why is this one impersonating Yugi Moto?" He pointed to Pharaoh Atem as his eyes lit up. "Speak!"

"You are right, I am not Yugi Moto, but we look alot alike. My name is Pharaoh Atem of Egypt, these are King Judai of Babylon and Pharaoh Tutankhamun of Egypt. We are from the Council of the Kings. Kamiko says that there was a child, who might know about Shrone, the demon that brought you here," Atem said.

"So you're impersonating the name of Yugi's offspring and cramming fairytales into our heads? Get-"

"W-Wait Raiden, I think he's telling the truth," the little boy behind him said, slowly stepping in front of Raiden, who rolled his eyes in response. "Daddy says I was named after a great Pharaoh. You said Pharaoh in your name. Are you that great Nameless Pharaoh Daddy tells me so much about?"

"Is your name Atem as well?" Pharaoh Atem asked, astounded and flattered that his best and closest friend named his offspring after the pharaoh himself.

"Yes, Atem Yami Moto."

Pharaoh Atem was almost speechless, not only did Yugi name his offspring after Pharaoh Atem, but his son's middle name was named after the temporary nickname he gave to the Nameless Pharaoh as well. Pharaoh Atem cleared his throat, taking a deep breath, before continuing his mission.

"When you were taken here, did you see anything?" Pharaoh Atem asked.

"I saw this really scary monster from the vision from my puzzle. He was bigger than the Kaiba Dome, and was black, and had really huge horns on his head, and his voice was really really scary. He made me cry and cry and cry. I stopped crying when I saw everyone cry too," Atem said as the little baby in his arms began to cry. He placed his finger in the little infant's mouth as the small baby began to suck on it. "Her name is Mary. She's Uncle Joey's new daughter."

"Joey Wheeler's daughter?"

"That's what I said, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did," Pharaoh Atem replied, almost chuckling.

"Are you here to take us home?"

"Yes."

"Daddy says you always make things right."

Pharaoh Atem almost chuckle again, then asked, "Do you know what this monster, you saw, wanted?"

"He wants all of us. He wants the kids like us. They will be here soon, but not yet."

"I feared that. Shrone was known for driving at the weakest point and continuing toward that point until there's no more," Judai said. "He's going to get the other youth. Should we warn the council?"

"I will inform the five about this news right away. I believe they have already contacted Yugi Moto," Tut said.

"Thank you, Tut," Pharaoh Atem thanked, then turned to Kamiko. "Listen, we need to get everyone moving. We will provide you dippers and other supplies you may need before we head off, but I need you to gain our trust."

"It's okay. He's a friend of my daddy. You can trust him," Atem said to Kamiko.

"Normally, I wouldn't trust the little kids, but... I owe him for keeping everyone in line. You have my trust, but don't break it. Don't forget, I'm the Prime Minster's daughter, I'm not a princess!" Kamiko warned with hardened eyes.

"Understood," Tut replied, showing a nod.

"Good," Kamiko replied, then walked up to the choir's location, signaling them to step down. Everyone turned at attention. "These three men say they can bring us home! If we follow them, we can get back to Japan! Time to change and pack up!" She stepped down and faced the three. "Give us supplies."

"Very well," Judai said, then him, Atem, and Tut used their dark powers to eat away the poop or pee from each of the infants' dippers. All the children gasped as many of the babies' cries ceased even more. "Their dippers are cleaned now. We placed the poop and pee to another part of the realm."

"Thank you," Kamiko said plainly, in a softer tone. She prepared everyone to move.

"I like her. She's a leader in her own way," Tut said, admiring the young girl. "I hope I one day I see her as a Council member."

"You see potential?" Pharaoh Atem asked with a slight smirk on his face.

"More than you know."
