Chapter 9: to Egypt. Enter Dr. Strange

Meanwhile in the Valley of the Kings, a pyramid that has not been seen for centuries stands tall for a sand storm uncovered this treasure. A team of archeologists was asked to take a look but those who had entered in the past had died for unknown reason except for one Solomon Moto (Yugi's grandfather). Unlike the others of his team, he showed respect and only had wanted knowledge of the past as he wasn't after money or fame. But Solomon was not here at this precise moment but, another was. A young Egyptian male with sandy blond hair stood in front of the pyramid calmly while other cowered behind.

"Sir are you certain that you wish to enter this tomb? Only one has managed to live and escape from this pyramid. Many of our people believe it to be cursed." asked one of the guides.

"You all can wait out here if you wish. I can sense that something is calling me to this pyramid. I can sense powerful magic lies beyond. It is far stronger and nothing like I have sensed before." replied the young Egyptian male as he wrapped his cape around his body to protect him from the harsh sand storm that was whipping around them.

"It is your funeral. None of us will be here if you so happen to make it out alive." replied the guide as he yelled for the rest of the group that they were leaving. The young Egyptian stood shaking his head as he watched them leave. He couldn't blame them for being afraid. He sighed softly too himself as he began to make his way into the pyramid as if the ancient tomb was expecting him to come.

Meanwhile within a cargo plane bound for Egypt, both Yugi and Danny were thinking about what they had learned about the spirits. Both of them where now they need to go to Egypt to see what else they needed to learn about the spirits of vengeance. Both teens could tell that the two spirits that resided within them could feel that something from their past has sprung up within Egypt. Danny looked over at Yugi whom seemed deep in thought.

"Yugi?" he questioned. It seemed as if Yugi didn't hear him. "Yugi!" Danny yelled a little louder snapping Yugi back to consciousness. A sheepish grin crossed Yugi's face.

"Sorry Danny." he replied.

"You seem out of it. What's wrong?" Danny asked. Yugi let out a soft sigh as he ran his hands through his tri-color locks.

"My grandpa had heard from an old associate of his that a mysterious temple arose within the Valley of the Kings. I remember grandpa telling me about a mysterious temple that he once went into that no one else seemed to come out of alive from. My grandpa believes that this maybe the same temple. I also got to thinking about Atem's past. What if this temple is something from his past?" Danny looked at his friend not quite in shock as Yugi had made similar connections before when it came to them and something strange going on within their life. Danny sighed softly.

"You know you are doing it again. And you think my hero complex is bad." Danny stated.

"I know. Sometimes these things just come to me. I had noticed a lot of strange similarities with me and Atem that it frankly scares me. I mean should it feel right to be sharing a body with a spirit of vengeance who looks almost exactly like you? I mean for some reason it feels as if I had become whole." replied Yugi.

"I know what you mean Yugi. I have felt the same thing when it comes to Phantom. What do you suppose it is?" asked Danny. Yugi just shrugged his head. Both Atem and Phantom heard what their human hosts had said as they wondered if they should tell them.

*Should we tell them? They do have a right to know.* Phantom stated.

*I know Phantom. But we should wait until we get to Egypt. For some reason I can feel as if something is calling me back home. Something is happening and it has to do with our past life.* replied Atem. Phantom nodded his head mentally as he seemed to accept Atem's word as he could somewhat feel it too. Something was happening. It was if the spirits not only from the past but also the present were calling out to the spirits of vengeance.

At that same exact moment within the temple the young Egyptain male was making his way through it fairly well but he had gotten turned around a few times and had triggered some traps resalting in a few scraps and light cuts. But he managed to keep on moving through the pyramid.

'What am I doing here? Why is there such a pull to be here?' the young man thought to himself as his violet colored eyes looked this way and that trying to see where the next trap will be. That is when he came face to face with a hoard of undead more precisely zombies. But before he saw them, he had felt a shift in the magic around him. "A necromancer what in the world?" he asked aloud to no one in particular. When the Egyptian male came face to face with the zombies, magic flew to his hands as he managed to blast some of them. But there was even too many for him to deal with. Once again he could feel the pyramid racting as if protecting the young Egyptian as a secret passage opened up and pulled him away from the undead army. 'Looks like I am safe for now. That seems to answer the question to why I am here.' he thought to himself. That is when he noticed something glowing on his side as he pulled out a golden rod with a Egyptian eye in the middle of it. The eye was a symbol for the Eye of Horus, an Eyptian god. A brilliant light shot out of the rod showing the male the way. 'Where are you leading me?' he thought to himself. The Egyptain sighed to himself as he held the rod in his hands. 'Well Marik I guess that there is only one way to find out for certain what is going on.' he thought to himself as he followed the lighted path that laid before him. Marik could sense that the pyramid was trying to tell him something. "Looks like in order to get answers I will have to face against the necromancer. But why would he be within this pyramid? And what is it trying to accomplish?" Marik asked himself.

Meanwhile the plane that both Yugi and Danny where on had finally landed as they got on their mystic motorcycles. Danny looked over at Yugi who seemed out of it.

"Yugi?" he asked in question. Yugi looked up at Danny with crimson slitted eyes. "Atem." he stated but the teen didn't respond as he started up the mystic motorcycle which roared to life. 'What's going on?' Danny asked as the bike skidded off like a bolt.

*Something is wrong. I can't seem to reach Atem and or your friend Yugi. Dark forces are at work. I can clearly sense it.* stated Phantom. Danny followed his friend being lead by Phantom as the two traveled into the desert. As they got closer to valley of the kings, Danny felt what could be best described as suffocating darkness and spasms of pain coming from his shoulder blades and to top it all off the rider was needed. Before Danny let Phantom takeover he cast a glance over at Atem and hoped that what ever was inside his friend was on the side of good because something evil was looming within the valley. When they approached a pyramid that was surrounded by an intense sand storm, Danny could feel the same darkness looming even stronger. It forced him to allow Phantom control as he couldn't handle it. Something deep within his gut was telling him that they weren't going to walkout of the temple sane. Danny had noticed from deep within the void that Atem had taken control over Yugi's body but something was terribly wrong. It seemed as if both the teen and the rider were close to taking on Atem's true form. *This is not good. Whatever magic or force is in play is taking control over Atem and Yugi. I don't think I can stop Atem if he truly reverts back to his true form. I also don't know how Atem's true form will affect Yugi.* Phantom told Danny mentally. Danny began to fear for his young friend. The sand storm seemed to allow Phantom and Atem safe passage into the pyramid. Phantom noticed strange hylogriphics on the walls many of which depiced an image of Yugi. 'It can't be….. This is Atem's pyrmaid. The tomb in which his body lays at rest.' Phantom thought to himself. It felt like the pyrmaid was waiting for Atem as it welcomed him home. The traps that had be triggered reset but didn't react to Atem and/or Phantom riding in to see what was going on. A large passage opened up and out came a young man who looked down right confused. Atem glared at the man. Phantom had seen this look a few time too many times to count. 'Shit!' he snapped at himself as Atem lept off of his bike and went for
Marik.

"Villian!" Atem screched at Marik with mystic chain in hand. Phantom had to react fast to prevent Atem from hurting an innocent.

"Atem stop! He is an innocent. You are not acting like yourself. Please Atem stop you are going to hurt your host if you continue like this!" Phantom shouted out as he dove in front of Marik. Phantom never saw Marik as he went for the Millennium Rod. Atem's form was fluxing so bad between his rider form and his true form. 'I may have no choice but to use my own powers against him.' Phantom thought to himself. Marik had casted a spell that caused Atem to halt his place.

"I can't hold him forever. My powers are strong but I need your help. Only you can reach him." Marik grunted as he held the Millennium Rod tight in his hands. Phantom nodded that he understood as he went transparent mearging his body with Atem's own.

*Atem please for the love of God don't forget who you are. You are stronger than this. I have seen it for myself. Think about your host. Please Atem come back to us!* Phantom shouted out mentally. Slowly but surely he could feel Marik's powers working on Atem as he could feel Mahad's powers as well.

*…..Atem…..* a weak voice called out. Phantom recognized Yugi's voice as the teen sounded weak.

*…..Aibou? (partner)...* Atem called out weakly before powerful magic pushed Phantom out of Atem's body. Slowly Atem's form transformed back into Yugi's human form as the teen collapsed into Marik's arms.

"Is he?" Phantom asked becoming physical.

"He is fine. Just worn out. Whatever magics took control over him was forcing him to go against his better nature. We were lucky to snap him out of it." replied Marik causing Phantom to sigh in relief.

"Thank God!" Phantom stated and then asked…. "Who are you? Why are you here and how in the world did you get a hold of the millennium Rod?"

"My name is Marik Ishtar or better known as Dr. Strange. As to why I'm here, I had gotten a felling that I needed to be here. The reason to why is still unknown to me. As for how I got the rod, it was passed down from generation to generation until it came into my possession." Marik replied. " When I entered into this pyramid I happened to come across an undead army being controlled be a necromancer." Just then the undead army happened to find the three heroes.

"Fuck!" Phantom said as they were surrounded.

"I thought I lost them!" Marik said as Yugi began to come back around. When he managed to see the army of undead instinct kicked in as Atem took control back over the teens body.

"Atem….. You're still too weak to use that magic!" Phantom called out.

"I know Phantom. But this is my home…. My tomb….. My resting place. These creatures are trespassing as I have every right to destroy them." hissed Atem. Marik happened to feel the tomb responding to Atem's presence as he could feel magic that he has never sensed before flowing from Atem *Abiou….. Forgive me as this will put further strain on your body.* Atem told Yugi.

*I understand Atem. Please be careful.* replied the teen.
