Chapter 7

Yoh groaned as his consciousness returned. 'Was that all a dream? There can't have been a real live mummy'. Yoh froze when he heard chanting next to his head. Yoh slowly opened his eyes to come face to face with the rotting flesh of the mummy's face. "AHHHHHHHHHH" Yoh screamed as it leaned closer and continued chanting.

Cold, cruel black eyes pierced his soul from inside the brown skull and a shred of rotten skin hung from his right cheek and forehead. A clump of dark brown hair was attached to the top of his head and bones could seen through holes throughout his body.

Yoh shivered as the mummy paused in its chanting and smiled at him. "W-Who are you?" Yoh stuttered as he tried and failed to lean away from the mummy. "I am Adjo, general to Pharaoh Akhenaten of Egypt". Yoh gasped. "The general that tried to overthrow the Pharaoh but was found out and sentenced to death!" Yoh exclaimed. Yoh shuddered when the mummy glared at him and growled.

"I was meant to be Pharaoh not that pathetic weak man. He would have brought Egypt to ruin. He did stop me once but now that I know what will happen I can go back and change it all" Adjo chuckled.

"What do you mean change it all?" Yoh asked although he knew that he wouldn't like the answer. "Do you not know what this is boy" Adjo said as he pointed towards the giant archway. That was when Yoh realised that he had been chained to the sacrificial table in the arch room.

"This is a door leading to the past. A lot of ancient magic was used to create this door and only one was ever created. I plan to use it to go back and change the past. The only thing I need to do know to open the door is to give up a sacrifice. And that is where you come in my boy" Adjo explained. Yoh gasped at the last sentence and desperately struggled against the chains.

"There is no escape boy so just give up. You should be honoured that you were the one that helped me rise to power" Adjo smirked as he raised a long knife. Yoh stared in fear as he sent the knife crashing down.

Pain like never before hit Yoh and he cried out in pain as red slowly spread through his top from his chest where the knife was embedded to the hilt. Yoh choked on the blood that was filling his throat and lungs while Adjo laughed maniacally.

Yoh faintly saw a large blue portal appear in the archway before everything faded to black and there was nothing.

xXx

Hao and John ran faster as they heard a loud pained cry originate from the archway room. 'Yoh' John thought worriedly as he pelted down through the darkness.

When they finally arrived John gasped at the horrifying scene that fell upon his eyes. A blue shimmering mist hovered between the archway like a door with a pile of blood leading to it.

John's eyes followed the trail of blood back to its source and gasped. Yoh lay unmoving on the sacrificial table. His eyes were closed and his head was leaning sideways on the stone. A knife was stuck out of his chest surrounded by crimson blood.

"Yoh" John half shouted half cried as he rushed over and pulled the teen up into his arms. John wailed in despair as the cold, dead boy sagged down in his arms.

Hao just stood in the doorway and stared. A wave of sadness washed over him as he stared at the bloodied body of his younger twin. "Where is that mummy, I'm going to kill him again" Hao growled as he stomped towards the arch and the portal.

John sadly peered up at Hao as he unlocked the chains around Yoh's body and lifted him up into his arms. "Yoh was sacrificed to open this portal so maybe there is something on the other side that can bring him back. After all this was all done using ancient Egyptian magic" John stated as he also walked back towards the portal.

"Then let's go" Hao snarled as he stepped through the portal and disappeared. "I just hope that this will work" John sniffed as tears fell from his eyes. He took a deep breath and also stepped through the portal.

xXx

Yoh blinked slightly in the blinding white light. He shaded his eyes with his hand and peered through the light. He could faintly see the outline of shapes sitting on what looked like thrones.

"Yoh Asakura" a loud voice boomed out.

Yoh blinked in confusion. The last thing he remembered was being stabbed by Adjo and seeing the portal to ancient Egypt open.

"You have been brought before us to have your fate decided" the same voice called out.

"Who are you?" Yoh asked cautiously.

There was a chorus of laughter as all of the figures started to laugh at the question. "Who are we? We are the Egyptian gods" the voice boomed out.

Yoh gaped in shock as he heard the answer. 'THE EGYPTIAN GODS!' Yoh exclaimed in his mind.

"This boy is a funny one Ra, naïve but funny" another voice chuckled.

"Well I suppose it is to be expected seeing as the boy isn't Egyptian Osiris" the first voice replied.

"But he will be Egyptian now" Osiris replied.

"Yes Anubis you know what you have to do" Ra announced.

"I have already taken his body and remade it into his Egyptian form" a third voice answered.

"What's going on?" Yoh asked as the gods conversed.

"You will be reborn as an Egyptian in the time of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Your memories of this life will be locked away and replaced with those of your Egyptian life to avoid confusion. You will not remember our meeting or anything that has happened before" Ra explained.

"Now you will be reborn" Anubis called out before everything faded again.
