Chapter 7: Traveling to the past
Chazz groaned and sat up. He looked to his right and saw Aziza crumbled on the ground. He held his head, which was pounding, and looked around. They appeared to be in a semi-dark room where the walls were made of clay. There were torches that kept the room at least a little light. The air was very musty and dry. He got and put his hand on the wall to get his balance. But his hand went through the wall.
He quickly got his balance and looked his hand. It was transparent and so was the rest of his body. He looked and Aziza was transparent as well. He touched her and he was able to. She stirred and got up. Chazz saw that Aziza still had the Egyptian eye on her forehead. She got up and said, "Where are we?"
Aziza looked around. "It looks like the tomb where I grew up in."
Chazz looked at her. "You grew up in a tomb?"
Aziza waved it off. "Don't ask. Marik spend most of his life in that tomb."
Chazz rolled his eyes. "Will you stop calling your father by his real name?"
Aziza glared at him. "Well, what am I supposed to call him? He's not my real Father! Therefore, I don't think I should call him Father!"
Chazz said, "This isn't what I would normally say. But Marik did raise you from day one. That should be reason enough for you to call him Father."
Aziza agreed and was about to say something when there was yelling coming from the other room. "What do you mean he's dead? He can't be dead! Father always said that he would let anyone kill him! What happened?"
Chazz said, "That's Zalika."
Aziza raised her eyebrow. "Who?"
"Your dark side."
"Oh."
Kanika's voice rang out. "If you want to blame someone, blame the Pharaoh! He's the one who killed him after your Father was stupid enough to attack them with his Ka!"
Tut said, "Kanika, enough! Now he's gone! We need to move on."
Zalika snapped, "You can do that but I won't rest until I get my revenge!"
With that, Zalika stormed into the room where Aziza and Chazz were and punched the wall. Massaging her hand, she growled, "Damn you, Pharaoh! Just you wait! I will avenge my Father's death…even if it kills me!"
Aziza took a good look at her dark side. "She looks a lot like me."
Chazz didn't say anything because he was too busy looking for a way to get back to the present. Zalika said, "Why did this happen?"
Kanika stuck her head in the door and said, "That's what Malik gets for messing with the royal family." With that, she went away.
Aziza's eyes grew wide. "Zalika…is Malik's daughter? I have Malik's daughter as a dark side?"
Chazz asked, "Who's Malik?"
Aziza said, "You remember Battle City. How Marik…Father…changed before the ship disappeared and during the finals. The dark side is Malik, the one whom my birth Mother fears more than anything." Looking at Zalika, she murmured, "I never knew he had a daughter."
Zalika looked up, as if she heard them. "Who's there?"
Chazz stopped for a second and looked at Zalika. "What's the matter with her?"
Zalika spun around, looking for the unknown voices. "Who's that? Where are you?" She grabbed a dagger and said, "I can kill…and I will when I find you!"
Aziza backed up until she bumped into Chazz. When they touched, they disappeared with Zalika still looking for them.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw that they were back in Domino in the area where they ran into Kanika and Tut but there was something different. Everyone was frozen in time. Kanika and Tut were there but they frozen in time as well. Atem and Tima were looking around, wondering what was going on, when the four of them heard behind Aziza, "I have stopped time…so that Kanika and Tut would not harm you when you came back."
Aziza looked behind and saw the ghostly human-version of Ra. She immediately got down on one knee, dragging Chazz down with her. Chazz immediately got back up and gave Aziza's head a little push. Ra said, "There is no need for that, my child."
Aziza got up. "Sir…why do I have Zalika in me?"
Tima joined Aziza behind her and gave her a little hug. "Yes. Why does my daughter have to be cursed with Zalika?"
Ra said, "Zalika died in her anger. The other gods were worried about what to do with her since she refused to rest in peace. I came up with the idea to put her in a kind-hearted girl that could teach her to change her ways. That girl is you, Aziza. Teach her…help her…she may help you in the end." With that, Ra disappeared and everyone went back to normal. Kanika and Tut disappeared with Ra.
Tima sighed and shook her head. "Ra works in bizarre ways."
Aziza nodded as she turned around. Tima noticed that the Egyptian eye was gone. "I see you're back to normal."
Aziza chuckled. "I'm sorry for earlier."
Atem joined them. "Don't be. It was very brave of you to approach us like that."
Tima said as she let Aziza go, "We'll tell your birth siblings the truth. I think they'll be surprised at learn that they met their sister today."
Aziza nodded. "Thank you." Turning to Chazz, she noticed that he was glaring at her.
Why is Chazz mad at her? And will Aziza teach Zalika to let go of her anger? Find out next time!
