Authoress' Note: Hey, guys. New story time! Due to a lightning storm frying my computer's hard drive the other night (May 28, 2009) I had to get a new PC. So as it stands, all my files - music, my made and saved AMVs, RP files and pictures - are all gone. But luckily, I have some friends who saved some of my old files and I'm just waiting to get them back. Once that happens, given my friend didn't screw anything up, I will continue "Angel From Above" and so on. For now, enjoy this not-so-new story. 3 years in planning!

Yami gives Tèa a quick peck on the cheek and runs through his door. Tèa feels her blush deepen at this, watching him go as she rests her hand upon it.

"Come on, Tèa, hurry!" calls Tristan.

"Uh! Right!" She snaps out of her daze and hurries on with her friends. 'Please be careful, Yami...Because, I...'

"Let's do this."

They all run into the next room. There is a long but well-lit hallway. But the walls seem to be made of flesh rather than stone.

Joey clutches his stomach. "Urk! I feel like we're walking down someone's esophagus! I'm gonna be sick!"

"I don't like it any more than you do." says Yugi. "Just hold it in a little longer, Joey. Joey responds by swallowing loudly.

"The entrance has to be around here somewhere." Ed ponders as he looks around. "It's quiet...Too quiet."

"Aw, man, don't say that! Everytime someone says that, they end up being ambushed!!"

Ed chuckles, smiling. "Sorry about that, pal. Let's just keep moving, shall we?"

"Whatever you say. SIR!!!" he salutes.

Meanwhile, Yami is also in a corridor. It's very dark, but there is just enough light for him to see.

"Where are you?" he says silently. "I know it's you behind this..."

Back in the fleshy hall, the gang finally see what looks like a door.

"What's that up there?" Tèa asks.

Joey starts turning green. "Please tell me it's not the stomach. I don't think I'll be able to handle being digested!"

"We're in a castle, remember, not a body. Still...it is kind of bizzare the walls look this way. I can see why your mind would wander like that. Let's check it out. Cautiously..."

They all slowly move toward the door. Yugi puts his ear against it.

"Ugh! How can you do that?!"

"Shhh!" He listens for awhile. "It's quiet alright, but there's definitely something in there."

"Yeah, but what?"

"Stay close..." Ed goes against the wall, bearing his sword arm as he looks on, prepared to fight back.

Yugi opens the door a crack and peers in. "It's definitely the heart. Take a look."

They all take turns looking inside. The room seems to be as large as a coliseum. Cables and wires are everywhere as they hang from the ceiling and go through the walls into other parts of the castle. In the center of the room, there is a large machine, compiled of both metal and flesh. Cables are connected to it in the same manner.

"That machine has to be the key. If we can disable it, the rest of it should shut down and be useless. They shouldn't even be able to recharge."

"So what are you waiting for, Eddy? Do that voo-doo that you do!"

"Hold on, Joey! We still don't know how Yami's doing." Yugi explains. "Destroying that thing might also bring down the whole building. If he doesn't know what we're doing and when, he could be buried along with it!!"

"That's true. But how do we warn him?"

"I wonder how he is doing."

"Don't worry, Tèa," Yugi smiles reassuringly. "I'm sure he's fine." 'I hope...'

'Yami...'

Meanwhile, Yami begins walking faster. He knows he must find the mastermind behind this sick operation. 'I'm getting closer...I can't feel it' As he continues walking, the theme of the hall changes. Hieroglyphics appear on the walls and the walls seem to grow wider apart. Thick columns with Egyptian-style paintings seem to come out of nowhere. Yami finds himself in what seems to be a copy of an elaborate tomb. He stops to study the paintings. They portray a demonic creature attacking Egypt and devouring its citizens. The next panel shows a young king imprisoning the monster in a black portal. "Is this..me??"

He moves on. The final panel reveals what he had feared. the soul-collectors stealing peoples souls and bringing them to the fortress. they place the souls in holding tanks where they are contained until...

Suddenly, there is a low rumbling. Yami looks up to see a large mass shifting deep at the end of the room. "I knew it was you!" he shouts angrily. Only you would do something so..."

The form moves slowly. It seems weak from the many centuries of being trapped in such a place. As it slowly rises up, the former pharaoh is shocked at what he sees: The almighty Zorc!!
