Chapter7:
Understanding the Enemy
As the gods appeared from the clouds as mighty giants another set of monsters appeared. Though they resembled the gods in almost every way all four of the kids knew it was not the Egyptian Gods' clones, but the Sacred Beasts.
"The Sacred Beasts and Egyptian Gods are awake! Ring the warning bell!" Kini turned and saw that the Pharaoh had left his royal chamber and was joining the kids outside.
"Hiruko, take these and take yourself and your friends to safety." He handed Kini four weird looking bracelets then rushed off.
Jaden, Bastion, and Alexis looked as shocked as if they had been zapped by lightning.
"You've got to be kidding me, was that Yugi as a pharaoh?" Bastion said in astonishment.
"It's like the book I read…" Alexis muttered.
"Come on, guys, we don't have anytime to waste!" Jaden said; with swift moves he took one of the bracelets, put it on, and yelled. "I summon thee Elemental Hero Flame Wing Man!" Jaden's most favorite monster appeared beside him in a glow of intense light. The boy got onto the monster's back, and, to all the kids' amazement, Jaden didn't fall through Flame Wing Man. Jaden's friends did the same thing and off they went speeding towards the incredible battle.
The incredible bulk of Slifer flew around its enemy, Uria, and aimed a thundering lightning beam to it from his mouth. Slifer's counterpart dodged and sent back a beam of intense flame the almost burned Slifer's left wing. The dragons entwined and rose higher into the sky sending a barrage of attacks at each other.
"Dang, this looks a lot like the Fourth of July," Jaden said, then rubbed his eyes, "Except it's brighter than those crummy lights."
"Jaden, look!" Kini yelled and then pointed to his right shoulder. On it Winged Kuriboh sat, perched like a bird.
"Winged Kuriboh?" Jaden said in surprise. He then turned and looked at his friends with a sarcastic type of face. "Tell me I'm dreaming right?" Just then the monster raised its claw and tapped Jaden on the head slightly. Kuriboh's claw, even though he tapped gently, gave Jaden such pain that he walked backwards, fell on a rock, and landed with his head looking at the sky. Alexis looked up and stared as well as the rest of the gods fought.
Raviel disappeared in the air as Obelisk sent his Fist of Fury at him. He reappeared behind him and headed straight for the god's unprotected back. The blue behemoth swerved and sent a back hand straight into Raviel's mouth. The phantom emperor whirled back and roared in anger as he attacked his enemy. Obelisk roared back as he sent another Fist of Fury at his hybrid. Then a clear, strong voice was heard throughout the calamity.
"Great
beast of the sky, please hear my cry.
Transform thyself
from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight.
Envelop
the desert with your glow and cast your rage upon my foe.
Unlock
your powers from deep within so that together we may win.
Appear
in the Shadow Game as I call your name,
WINGED DRAGON OF RA!"
Suddenly a blinding flash of light pierced the dark clouds like an arrow through the air. Ra attacked, blazing like a torch of never-ending fire. Hamon flew up and sent the strongest god bolts of electricity to counter, but Ra easily dodged this. Their battle raged on countinously, trying to destroy the other without rest just like the other two gods. Bastion stared at the person who had spoken the incantation and it turned out to be the Pharoah, or in this case, the person who looked like Yugi. Another incantation was heard as the battle raged on.
"Great
beast of Thunder, in which other gods are under
Unleash
your might and take flight.
Send
the earth thunder and rain; send our foe misery and pain.
Dry up
the seas as you fulfill my pleas,
DESCENDING
THUNDER EMPORER HAMON!"
At that exact moment Hamon, who seemed to have gained immense power, burst into a thousand electrical bolts that slightly evaporated the seas and laid rain and fires onto the Egypt. Suddenly, the thunderbolts redirected their course and captured all three legendary gods. Raviel and Uria, seeing that their foes were immobilized, lashed out with vicous strikes that damaged Slifer's right arm, Obelisk's left leg, and Ra's left wing.
The speaker of Hamon's incantation suddenly popped up out of nowhere and landed on a rock jutting out from the ground like a cliff. Alexis and Kini toppled over from fright and accidently hit Bastion, who then knocked Jaden down again, and finally landed on Winged Kuriboh. The dominos all landed under the rock, and their faces were just in the right position to see the incantation speaker. He had the skin color of all Egyptians, tanish brown, strange cloudy grey eyes, and pitch black hair with some pure white tips. He smiled the way antagonists smiled, but then looked down and stared at all four of the bodies lying below.
"Is this true…?" The man yelled in surprise. "I can't believe it!" He jumped down, landed, and stared at the group. Jaden had gotten in front of Alexis and Bastion had gotten in front of Kini. "The items you wear…the girl and her friends…you are them!" The man then gave a bellowing cry and then swarms of men surrounded the group. Without a command the men instantly swarmed and grabbed them with such feriousity that it almost pushed all four of them backwards. They wrenched the magical bracelets used to summon monsters off of them before Jaden and the rest got to react. A priest then came up to the evil villain and spoke in a cautious voice.
"Rakshev, sir, are you sure taking the princess and her friends will surely grant you eternal power? It is true they wear the lost Millennium Items, but do you believe there are for real?" Kimi spotted and then noticed that Jaden, Kimi, and Bastion were wearing an item similar to the bracelet she wore.
"It is true, I have read it in the Prophecy Scriptures; I will rule all of Egypt and banish the Pharaoh and his gods to the Shadow Realm with my Sacred Beasts!" Rakshev let out a malicious laugh and then headed over to Alexis and stared at her. "When I'm done I'll make you my bride," he stared at Jaden, who tried to break free vicousily, and Bastion then said, "You two my servants…" He then stared at Kini. "And you a gift to my son once I receive everybody's power." Kini almost grew sick with the thought of being someone's pet, Alexis felt the same way getting married, Bastion felt ready to kick the guy square in the head, and Jaden, well, was already unleashing his fury so much that he almost knocked Bastion down.
"Why our power, what is it that you want from us so bad? I also thought you couldn't do this to a princess in your own country!" Kini yelled in a voice that almost frightened herself.
"You're not a princess, you aren't even close to one, and I need your ka and your friend's to feed the Great King."
"The Great King…?"
"Hiruko!"
Okay, this chapter is done. Jaden and his friends each wear a lost Millenium Item! Will everybody escape the past and return to the future before the future gets rewritten itself? Who was the person who called out Kimi's Egyptian name? You'll find out soon(I put too much of these at the end of my stories' chapters, don't I?)! R&R!
