Chapter 10
Fallen of the Dark Angel
Kai slowly got up after the delightful impact he felt from breaking free the true Hilary. The first time he saw was when she changed was when she wanted all of them to stay back. When she explained she is the Deadly Sanctuary. Kai new it, but he had fallen for her. She was truly a deadly sanctuary, even when she was her fourteen year old self. Now he knows she's not afraid to kill him, not when she is Arianna, her old self. Kai could only paint that delicious feeling again when he kissed her, the kiss from a goddess.
Sandalphon ripped his black snake apart in two. The blood just sprayed on him but he didn't care, he was enraged. His red eyes stung of tears but he let them flow, and he gritted his teeth. Enraged by jealousy, his mind went to another man, instead of Yugi, he imagined this other man taking his mother by her hands and there both running away from him, laughing and skipping in there happiness.
"K-K-Kai!" Sandalphon screamed.
He felt his lips on hers, his hands touching whatever body part he could reach, Him smelling her perfumed beauty. Sandalphon threw the two parts of the snake on the floor, it was dark in the bar but he could see well enough where he was going as he skidded through the restaurant and went behind the bar where most employees put extra stash of liquor. There Sandalphon slowly brought out a golden box, little inscriptions of Egypt Highrocliphics were inscribed on each side of the box, on top of the lid was embedded the eye of Osiris.
He petted the shiny box then opened it, there inside was a sack wrapped in what seemed to be wraps for a mummy, Hair stuck out of the loosening, never mind the smell, Sandalphon just smiled delighted and held in his arms like a teddy bear, mumbling to him, "Mother, Mother, Mother," over and over again. He cuddled with the sack until he decided to unwrap it, there in his arms was an ancient head, its hair were stranded and thin, but most of it loss from the top of the head. Sandalphon smiled happy and his wrist started to glow.
From that glow, was a golden bracelet with the eye of Osiris on it, its design was similar to Yugi's millennium puzzle he wore all the time. As glow went on, the skull started to form it's flesh back together, the muscles and veins wrapping itself around the skull, then the hair appeared as it became longer and wavier like waves from an ocean, it's hair reflecting gravity, then the eyes appeared and thus the skin, forming the head into a beautiful woman, with even a severed head, still looked beautiful. Then the glowing stopped. It was as though just like in his dreams. She was as beautiful as he remembered her as.
He stood up from the bar and decided there and then on what to do. "I'll Kill Kai first."
As they walked on from the dojo, Hilary felt guilty of something she wasn't sure she was guilty of. She kept quit and felt sad. She wasn't sure what happened back there with her and Kai, all she remembered was he was pushed to the floor, something inside of her felt directly like something had taken over her, and she was scared of it, somehow she was very scared of it.
A warm touch glimpse in her hand as she noticed a hand took hers. Yugi was holding her hand as they were walking.
"You seem sad, what's wrong?" He asked her concerned.
Hilary wasn't sure at first on what to say first, but she felt it had to be done. They both stopped walking and she sighed, trying to fight any sudden tears that come out before the emotion does.
"Were you just like the rest of them?" she asked.
"I'm sorry?" Yugi was confused.
"I mean, were you like all the men who would suddenly fall for me because of my beauty, because of my goddess aura?" She asked more detailed again.
Yugi understood why now, he knew this way longer then Hilary even noticed, the fact her Beyblade friends are starting to fall for her.
"I did at first, but when you spoke to me the first time when you came upon to the palace, I realized that there was more to you then on what you looked like. I knew the men in my palace had the same feeling as I did, lusting the perfect moment for you to be alone, but I knew something about you was strong and beholding, like a deep sadness hidden inside of you, and when I made a choice for you to stay and discuss business with your emperor's wishes, I knew then and there all I wanted to do was cure you."
Hilary was stunned, looking at Yugi, the memory of them first meeting in his palace as the pharaoh sat in his chair of power, and when Arianna took off her cloak, he suddenly stood.
"The only thing that stood from me the most, that I knew you were sad, was because you always sang when you were alone." Yugi explained smiling warmly to her.
Hilary gasped realizing that was true. Noticing something she always does but doesn't notice it, even as Hilary when she is alone, she would sing, the only thing she would thank her mother for giving her strict singing lessons has given her the gift of a beautiful voice, but she guessed it wasn't the teacher, or her mother, she had a beautiful voice inside of her this whole time, and somehow she was still being Hilary in this era.
"Listen to me, what happened then, is what happened, we must focus the time that is happening now, and no matter what, if we lose each other in this time era, I know somehow will end up meeting each other again with different names." He reasoned with her then took her hand and placed it on his chest, "I'll be with you until the very end, but you must trust yourself, and me."
His beaded faster all of a sudden, she could feel it vibrate from beneath his chest. She leaned her head on his chest, giving him the message through her gesture that he was right.
Suddenly an utter pain throbbed in both of them as they felt it was blown by the wind, coming from Tyson's place. Without looking at each other or reassuring that they both felt it, they ran off going back to Tyson's place.
Ray wiped off a sweat from his forehead. He wasn't sure why he was sweating, it might be because he was feeling nervous for some strange reason, all he could think about was Hilary since she left, but as his eyes scattered the room, he noticed Kai wasn't anywhere, though earlier he guess he went off walking someplace, being the lone wolf he is.
That's not right.
Ray thought at first, realizing all of them, Tyson, Max, Kenny, Kai and himself were all feeling a strange sensation about Hilary, and he had a feeling Kai had a moment to touch it. Ray stood up from the table, only Grandpa Granger noticed he stood up, Tyson, Max and Kenny were infused by their own thoughts as Max stared down in his tea, Tyson drifted off in spacing staring at this one spider web that formed next to a plant, and Kenny was just staring down on the table.
Ray walked to the next room suspiciously, not making a sound since he was bare footed. He opened the sliding door of the room they slept in and spend most of there time in. Then a snake came out of nowhere so fast in front of Ray's face, he was about to fall over on his bottom until a hand stretched out from the darkness of the room, grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him in, the sliding door closed by itself.
At first it was nothing but darkness, but he heard hisses and the on the floor, something moving. Ray felt slithering long like creatures slithered around from under his arm, around his ankle, and even slithered on top of his shoulder and then off. He couldn't see it, but he sure felt and heard it. The whole room was covered in snakes, not just one, but a dozen, or more. The glare of their eyes brightens red like dogs in the darkness. There was nothing left to see, Ray just stood still.
Then he could hear a moan of pain.
"Kai!" Ray yelled out, "Kai! Where are you?"
Ray tried to stand up but some how the snakes wrapped their long slender bodies around his feet and wrists.
Ray didn't have time to panic, he had to think, scream for help, and hopefully someone in the kitchen room would break away their day dreaming and come and get him. Suddenly he heard foot steps coming over near the entry way of the room. The figure grunted behind the door and then sneezed. It sounded like Tyson!
"Tyson!" Ray yelled, "Hel"- his mouth was covered over by a snake, covering his whole face. It was long and heavy snake, the weight brought Ray's head to tilt downward to the floor.
"Ray?" Tyson called out opening the door; he noticed it was dark so he turned on the switch, except he wished he hadn't.
Snakes were all over the place, black and white, blue and red, some looked to poisoness to go near, some looked they had horns on their noses, most were black cobras. Then he saw Kai being held by the neck with a noose wrapped around him. He was tilting on his feet from a stool, his hands were on the rope around his neck, trying maybe he could take it off from his head, but every noose is tighten for the neck, fat or skinny, there was no way that could work.
Tyson wanted to help him, but the snakes blocked him, they all came like swarming worms coming at him, then he noticed one snake that didn't slither toward him, a large light and dark brown boa constrictor that wrapped himself over a large body, an arm stuck out.
"Ray!" Tyson screamed, and for a moment he didn't care about the snakes, he was going to leap on in getting Ray, but he was stopped when he noticed a tall, skinny to the bone boy, looking the same age as him with maroon hair and red piercing eyes stared at him, a black snake was wrapped around his neck.
He was grinning, wearing a black tank top, dark blue jeans that were pended with spikes on the sides, large black combat boots and a bright glowing Egyptian-like bracelet. At first Tyson thought he saw needles springing out at him, but there were no needles to see once he blinked.
"You've come here to be punished too?" He said.
"Wait…" Tyson started saying, the whole mess coming together, "I might be wrong, but you must…must be Sandalphon?"
"You have thoughts of my mother I hate, you want to take her away from, from everyone, and you even want to have her to yourself! Just like Kai!" Sandalphon yelled pointing back at Kai.
"I'll first kill Kai, then Ray, then you." He said.
The snakes suddenly slithered fast like small tornadoes under Tyson's feet. Taking him by force, Sandalphon grabbed Tyson by the neck, his long fingernails sinking in Tyson's neck.
"You all must die, just like my father! The father who could never love me!" Sandalphon screamed.
"Stop!!" a voice screamed.
"Sandalphon turned his head toward the entry way of the room, Hilary standing there with Yugi, Max and Kenny behind her.
"Sandalphon let him go." Hilary said softly towards him.
"No! He's going to take you away from me, I won't let that!" He screamed crying back at her.
"Sandalphon please!" Yugi came begging next to Hilary.
Sandalphon's angry tears went away and instead his face changed from stiffening with tears to his gritting teeth into a frown, his eyes widening, and his face went long. He dropped Tyson to the floor, the snakes under his feet slithering away Tyson and toward the stool Kai was supporting to live.
From there, the rope supporting Kai's life untied itself and he dropped to the floor coughing and boa constrictor retrieved itself from choking Ray.
That's when Sandalphon took a handle that stuck out of the center of his golden bracelet, he pulled it out and came out was a chained golden sword that had the eye of Osiris embedded on it.
"It can't be," Yugi muttered, "Another millennium item?!"
"What do you mean another?" Hilary asked him.
"The forbidden one, the original pharaoh made, my father who created the millennium items in the first place, he created an eighth one that was never to be used. I don't remember why, but there was a forsaken story that was told by my father that the eighth millennium item was never to be used, because one day it would bring forth the apocalypse."
"Oh my god," Hilary feared, "Our child is the key to the end of the world."
No one knew what to do now, not when their fear has only began to worsen.
