Chapter 8: questions & answers
Phantom followed Clockwork into the crypt as he began to feel his transformation coming undone. Before he could pass out, Phantom could see Mahad come and take Yugi from him. Slowly Phantom began to pass out transforming back into Danny as Clockwork caught him in his arms. Clockwork looked at Mahad who had concern stretched across his face.
"I assume that you felt what Atem did." stated Clockwork. The dark magician nodded his head.
"It is far too soon for Atem to be using that power. Whoever they were up against must have proved very dangerous and deadly. They haven't been awakened that long for their human hosts to even learn their fate into all of this." stated Mahad.
"I viewed the future as I could see that they aren't alone. There are others….. People with a strong sense of justice who will join them in the fight against evil." stated Clockwork. Mahad could remember the words that Isis once spoke to him about a prophecy that had yet to come true.
"Light and dark two halves of the same coin shall come together. Both friends and allies shall gather all together and unite under two powerful spirits. These people will all bear a scared mark to help destroy the ultimate evil that threatens the world. Several items will have to be collected and brought together in order for the darkness to beaten. You will need everyone's help in order to succeed. Friendship is a power that all will have, making the will stronger than any power combined. The Midnight Sons shall rise again." Mahad stated out loud. Clockwork looked at the dark magician in confusion. "It is something Isis told me a long time ago as much like you she was able to foresee the future with help from the Millennium Necklace. She had foreseen Atem's death and rebirth as she told me that I play an important part in the future. I don't even think she had truly see this happening."
After about ten hours worth of sleep both Danny and Yugi woke up felling completely sore. Moving was totally not an option right now. Yugi managed to force himself up to a sitting position and opening the mental path to speak with Atem.
*What in the world did you do that vampire creep?* Yugi asked.
*Sorry abiou. There are things about me that you don't know about. The truth is that I was never truly human to begin with. I am actually a vampiric demon who can feed on the blood of the guilty to satisfy his blood lust. I am able to control dark/shadow magic as I had earned the name Dark Angel from my people when I used to be pharaoh.* Atem replied. *You felt firsthand what I'm somewhat capable of. I didn't wish to use that power this soon but that vampire forced me to.* Atem added.
*What about you Phantom?* asked Danny.
*I am a ghostly angel. Both angels and ghost voices most people can't tolerate as the others of my kind named me or gave me the name Silent Phantom. Only a few people ever heard my true voice or have seen my true form.* stated Phantom. That is when the two boys noticed that they weren't alone. Two people stood in the room. The two boys recognized them as they had seen the two men at the ceremony. *Our caretakers will help explain things and tell you more about us.* Phantom stated before both he and Atem cut of their link to their hosts. Yugi and Danny glanced at each other and then at the two people in front of them then Yugi spoke
"So you two are Atem's and Phantom's caretakers? Do you mind elaborating a little on how this all came to be?" Yugi asked while Danny was trying to wrap his head around the fact that the ghost- angel inside of him. Something like Phantom could have existed more than 5,000 years ago or even way before that. Then something happened the movie-star looking dude as changed his form changed to that of one of the ghost's that his parents wanted to meet and not hunt.
"Clockwork the Ghost of Time. Why does this not surprise me?" Danny asked as Clockwork as the ghost smirked.
"Hello Danny. I know that this raises too many questions that are probably going through your head. We both know that you have a lot of questions that need to be answered. First allow me to introduce myself to your friend. Just as Danny said my name is Clockwork as I am a ghost that controls time. I also happen to be Phantom's caretaker." stated Clockwork as he didn't bother transforming back to his human form.
"My name is Mahad I am also known as the Dark Magician. I am also Atem's caretaker." replied the man next to Clockwork as he began to transform his form into that of a duel monster character that Yugi had seen on many cards one of which he owned. "First allow us to show you the truth about both Atem's and Phantom's past before they became the spirits of vengeance. There are things about you both that make you the perfect hosts for Atem and Phantom as you will see the reason why for yourself." stated Mahad as he begun to weave his magic allowing both teens to be transported through time as they found themselves in the past over looking everything as if they were ghosts.
"You will be allowed to see and hear the events first hand but you can't interfere with time. As these events already had taken place." stated Clockwork. Danny and Yugi found themselves existing in a time and place that felt much older than Christ himself.
"Where and when are we?" asked Danny.
"Over a 100,000 years ago. In the temple of the heavenly spirits. In this time Phantom was a guardian over the temple as he worked and lived here." replied Clockwork. As the group entered the temple they saw a young angel no older then Danny leaning against a pillar and breathing hard. He had snowy white hair, glowing green eyes, (he could walk through walls disappear and fly! Sorry couldn't resist) he had on a black t-shirt, black ribbons warped around his for-arms from a pair of black fingerless gloves, he had on black skintight pants, white boots with black rings around the ankle's and a gray skirt thing with a black belt (check out hyunhon. deviantart art/ Fallen-Angel-82890093 (please remove the spaces) for the image of Danny as an angel). His pure black angelic wings were a mangled mess as he slowly made his way towards the center of the temple.
"What's going on? Where is Phantom going?" Yugi asked watching Phantom struggle to get to the center of the temple as he looked pretty beat up.
"He is headed for the alter to make his finally stand against Pariah Dark the king of all ghost's." replied Clockwork
"Pariah Dark?!... Is he insane!?" Danny asked in a panic.
*No I was not, my job was to protect the prince and princess from their father's. They had been placed in a deep sleep so that when the time was right they could take the throne. But...* Phantom replied as his voice trailed off as he watched everything go to hell in a hand basket once again shuttering at the scene of events that was going to happen knowing that he was powerless to stop it. Phantom from the past made it past the alter to find Pariah Dark already there standing over his son and his soon to be daughter-in-law with a sinister grin raising his sword. Phantom shot forward and tackled the ghost king causing his sword to fly out of his hand. Phantom used the recoiled from the tackle to cover the two children using himself as a human shield as the sword came back point down. The sword went through Phantom's back but stopped just above the hearts of the soon to be rulers of the ghost zone. Phantom staggered back to his feet as four other guards came out with some kind of white cloaked figures as they the striped Pariah Dark of his crow and ring as they sealed him in a coffin. The injuries that Phantom had gained because of his battle against Pariah Dark and saving the future rulers were too great that there was no sure fire way to save him from his imitate death. Suddenly a bright light appeared before Phantom as a large angel who looked more like a warrior appeared before him.
"Who is that?" asked Danny.
"Uriel, the angel of vengeance." Both Mahad and Clockwork replied in unison.
"Phantom….. Your task on this world is not done yet. There will come a time when Pariah Dark is released from his prison as he will be even stronger than before. Because of your strong sense of justice and your need to protect the innocent, it has made you the perfect choice to become a spirit of vengeance. But the choice is yours. Will you be willing to become a spirit of vengeance?" asked Uriel. Phantom slowly nodded his head as he could feel Uriel place his hands onto Phantom causing him to become engulfed in mystic fire as he was reborn as the spirit of vengeance taking on the form that Danny transformed into when Phantom took control over his body.
Time then fasted forward to Egypt where a young Egyptian male dressed in regal garb was walking around a palace with Phantom just behind him acting as a guard or something.
"What is Phantom doing in Egypt? And why does the Pharaoh look what Yugi would look like now?" Danny asked gaining no answer from anyone. Phantom and Atem weren't the only familiar face there. Also Mahad was present as he currently as he appeared now regardless of how much time had passed.
"My pharaoh something seems to be troubling you." stated Mahad as Atem passed by him.
"Something dark and evil is coming. I can feel it strongly through my link with the shadow magic and my own inner demonic nature." stated Atem.
"Have you talked to Isis about this?" asked Mahad.
"Yes….. But her millennium item can't see what it is. I have a terrible feeling about this as if it grows any stronger I have a feeling that the truth about what I truly am will become known to our people. I don't want them to see me as a monster." replied Atem.
"I have a feeling that they will not see you in such a way Pharaoh Atem. Your people love you and worship you. They will remember you fondly if and when you pass on from this world." stated Phantom. This caused Atem to smile.
"Thank you Daniel….. You always seem to know the words to cheer me up. I don't know why but whenever you are around, I feel safe. That regardless of the truth, I am not a monster or a demon as most people would possibly see me as. Despite what I truly look like I know that both you and Mahad accept me." stated Atem. Phantom simply smiled.
"What are the millennium items?" asked Yugi.
*See the item that I am wearing around my neck? That is the millennium puzzle. It is an object that controls and connects us with a world we knew as the shadow realm. It is where mystical creatures exist as some of them I have seen pictures of on your Duel Monsters card. I am a part of that world as I was born from it. The millennium puzzle helps keep my true demonic form in check and for all the humans to see me as human as possible.* replied Atem. But the peace was not to last as the dark threat rose up in the form of Zorc the dark one who threatened to destroy Egypt unless Atem faced against him. A young man with long white hair ran as fast as he could to Atem's side he had been tricked into believing that the loss of his family and home was due to the Pharaoh. But he learned the truth of what truly had happened that day and what Zorc had twisted around from a strange white haired youth.
"No! Atem!" The young man shouted knocking Atem out of the way of Zorc's attack and taking the full force which sent him flying into the opposed wall the millennium ring falling from his neck.
"Bakura!" Atem cried watching as the theft king fell to the ground. Atem seemed to stop suddenly as everything started to become sharper and Atem only had one chance to stop Zorc before the world fell to his grasp.
"Phantom!" Atem called out and a blacked winged angel flew to his side.
"Yes my Pharaoh?" Phantom asked sending a blast towards Zorc who cried out in pain. Atem took off the millennium puzzle and handed it to Phantom.
"Once this is all over take the millennium items and hide them so no one can ever use them for evil purposes." When the puzzle left Atem's hand he began to change. His hands became clawed, large bat like leather wings ripped from his back, his violet colored eyes turned crimson, a large tail with a scythe at the end, spikes ripped from his elbows and knees, his ears pointed and fangs lengthened from his mouth what was left of the top he had ripped off revealing what looked like a cross shaped scar on his chest.
"What is this?! A trick of some sort?" Zorc stated after seeing Atem's true from.
"This ends here Zorc this world will never belong to you. Not now… Not ever!" Atem shouted out. Dark shadow magic flowed into Atem's hand as the dark magician in the form of Mahad came to his side.
"My Pharaoh, are you certain that you want to do this?" asked Mahad. Atem simply nodded his head as he could feel Mahad's magic adding into his own demonic powers. The magic flowed out of Atem and straight for Zorc forcing the evil creature to become banished to the shadow realm. Atem nearly collapsed feeling completely exhausted as his body began to disintegrate. Both Mahad and Phantom rushed to his side as Phantom took on his human form. This caused Atem to laugh lightly.
"I always had a feeling that you were hiding something from me Daniel or shall I call you Phantom?" asked Atem.
"Phantom. It has been my name all along. The reasons for why I chose to keep this a secret from you will be revealed in time." replied Phantom. Atem hobbled over to where Bakura laid as he was still breathing but his wounds looked to be serious.
"Pharaoh… Forgive me I was blinded by what Zorc told me and the truth about what happened." stated the thief.
"I forgive you Bakura. But there is still a chance for you to live if you wish to take it." Bakura looked at Atem in confusion as the demon slit his arm open allowing blood to flow from his wrist. "Take my blood Bakura. Maybe in the future you will be able to help me out once again and to repay your debt to me." Atem stated. Bakura did as commanded as the angel Uriel appeared once again.
"Pharaoh Atem… you shall not die. You shall be reborn and become a spirit of vengeance just like Phantom. Your skills and powers will help out in the future as you hold justice and honor greatly in your heart. This is the trait that I look for in future beings to become the spirits of vengeance. So what say you Atem? Will you be willing to become a Ghost Rider?" asked Uriel. Atem simply nodded his head as he pulled his wrist away from Bakura as the wound began to heal instantly before Uriel laid his hands onto Atem unleashing the hellfire to change Atem's appearance into that of his rider form that he would take on when he uses Yugi's body.
