Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story, my OCs, and the saga. Thank you.
-Inside the castle-
"…So, that's what happened to Yugi, Ishmari," Joey finished explaining. The king nodded slowly, finally understanding the situation. Chihiro was silently sobbing into Haku's shoulder. Joey's fists were clenched tightly in anger.
"I still can't believe that my best friend is being controlled by Marik!" he growled, his eyes flashing. "I'll kill him!" Brian placed a calm hand upon his shoulder, but Joey pushed the American away. He scoffed, and proceeded to his room. Brian started after him, but Kairi stopped him.
"Let him be, Guardian," she whispered. "He's going through a rough time right now. We all are." Suddenly, the throne room doors burst open, and Yugi staggered into the room, his eyes half closed. Haku raced towards him, and caught him before he hit the ground.
"Where's Marik?" Cloud inquired, hovering over Yugi. The boy's head slowly turned towards him, trying to speak.
"H-he gained his own body, and is headed this way," he groaned. "You have to run from him. He plans to kill Ishmari." His body fell over to the side, his eyes closed. Haku picked him up and placed him on his own white bed.
"You need rest, Yugi," Haku muttered before leaving the room, sword in hand. In the throne room, Marik was standing over Ishmari, gripping a golden dagger from within the Millennium Rod. His face was twisted into a wicked smile, his indigo cape in tatters.
"Say farewell to this world, and hello to death!" he shouted, beginning to lower the dagger's blade. The throne room doors burst open once more, and in the doorway, a black lion with a golden/crimson mane stood there, its indigo eyes glaring hard at Marik. Behind him, a woman with blue skin, long purple hair, and wore a two piece bathing suit stood, holding an ice ball in her hands.
"Shiva…" Chihiro gasped in awe. The woman nodded, flying towards her.
"I shall aid you in any way I can," Shiva told Chihiro. "Just give me commands, and I shall follow them." The lion crouched low, growling at Marik.
"So, the kitty cat wants to play," the yami laughed. "Very well, I'll play with you."
Who could the lion be? And why is it helping them? Find out in chapter eight, The Fall of Darkness.
