*~*-Animanium-*~*

In the last chapter: 1) The mysterious stranger began his evil deeds by stealing Bakura and Yugi's millennium items and 2) Our heroes got transported by Ishizu to a blazing hot desert..

Animanium...Ch 10

The gang looked around the desert. Ishizu turned and walked away. "Wait," said Seto, "where are you going and why did you take us here?" Ishizu turned and her eyes met his. "I've brought you back in time to take a tour of ancient Egypt," said Ishizu in a voice quite unlike her own.

"But...why?" piped up Katrina, "We really don't have business here..." Then Ishizu turned around really fast and snapped in that weird voice, "Of course you do! Just wait and see!!!!!!!!!"

"Um, ooookkkkaayyyyyy.....O.o" Katrina responded. They then continued to follow Ishizu around Egypt...

Meanwhile!

Little did he know, but the mysterious stranger had been followed. His pursuer was now hiding in this same room and watching him intently, her big brown eyes growing with each word.

'Why is he doing this???' Yang thought from her hiding spot. 'I mean, who is he, and what did Bakura and Yugi do to deserve this???' As if he had heard, the figure turned in her direction.

"Well, well, well. Looks like I have a visitor...don't I????" he said. Yang remained silent, and moved slightly more into the shadows. "Don't think that'll work, my sweet, because I can see you."

"If that's the case," responded Yang, stepping our of the shadows, "So be it!!!!!!!" She jumped on the stranger and tore off his cloak, revealing the identity.

"MARIK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" she yelled...

Meanwhile...

Ishizu suddenly stopped in her tracks. Seto glared. "Now what? Changed your mind?" Ishizu turned to face him, and then she jumped. "Seto Kaiba!? How-?"

Seto opened his mouth to retort, but Yin spoke up first. "Ishizu-why did you take us to Egypt?" Ishizu looked surprised. "I did?"

"Yeah! Don't you remember?!" Seto said angrily. "No, I don't..." she said, with a deer-in-the-headlights expression on her face. Seto turned to face the rest of them. "What do you think? All who agree say 'Aye'"

The rest of them looked at each other, then at Seto & Ishizu, then back at each other. "Aye" they all agreed. Then they looked at Ishizu. "If you don't remember, then that means...!" said Yin, his eyes growing wider. "Aagh! I hate it when you start a sentence and then go off like that!!!" Kari said.

Yin ignored her and then looked at Ishizu. "What is the last thing you remember before you were here?" he asked. "Well, my brother called me into his room, right? Then, I'm all, 'what Malik? Why have you asked me to come?' and then he just raised his Millennium Rod up and it glowed, and then I was here...'

"Aha! Brain control!" said Yin, "One of the powers of the Millennium Rod! Now, let's go get your brother and his yami!!!"

"Right," said Ishizu, and she raised her hands up to her Millennium Necklace and they were back in that damp room...

Meanwhile.....

Yang glared down at Marik. "What was your plan, you psycho?" Marik just grinned evilly. "Why should I tell you?" Yang sighed. She snapped her fingers and Marik was tied up in ropes. "Now.......what was that plan?"

Marik glared. "Well," he began.......
