It just hit me how to end this series and it has been written down so I can remember it. This chapter should be better than the last one, but it could use more work.
Evil Unleashed
Thinking about what had happened in Domino made everyone feel in a terrible funk that could not figure out what it was.
They had learned that Mai was attacked by a Shadow Monster and Yamisite ordered to have her brought to Duelist Kingdom. Upon her arrival, she was able to walk, but could not support herself and Joey went to help her. Maraka, the medical expert that served the Sharks, had also came and bowed to Yamisite before looking towards Yugi, pleased to see he was fully healed. While Joey was helping Maraka with Mai, Yugi, Atemu, Téa, and Tristen were showing Sharek and Gasa around. "The modern world has so many things," said Sharek as he looked at all the electronics around himself.
Then suddenly, Yuedren came running towards them. "What is it?" asked Yugi.
"The eldest has arrived and they started a word fight," said Yuedren, gasping.
They went with Yuedren and they saw Pegasus standing at one end of the entrance hall and another man who looked older than Pegasus at the other end. "You are the one who started this bad blood!" yelled Pegasus.
"I don't care what you think. I am not the weakling," said the other man.
Pegasus's eye just showed an expression of shock and then as he started to fall to his knees, he felt he was struggling to breath. Croquet rushed to his side, kneeling next to Pegasus. "He…needs to…know about my condition," said Pegasus in a whisper.
"I will explain it to you," said Yugi.
"What do you know about this?" asked the other man as he looked at Yugi.
"He was the holder of the Millennium Eye and it was stolen from him. Croquet has informed us that he has been having colds more often since then," said Yugi. "I am curious. What happened between you? The two who are most knowledgeable about Shadow Magic are in our midst."
"Who are you? You are that one duelist, but my eyes are…," said the other man.
"I am Atemu," said Atemu. "I would love to know your name."
"I am Yugi and behind me is Sharek and the King of Beasts," said Yugi.
"I am Marka. I will tell, but it will not be easy. I tried to push it away, but it didn't work. When my brother was young, we got in a fight and I think I started it with words, but he was the first to use force. Then I went at him and then he lost all of his strength. I don't how he lost it," said Marka.
"I understand. Marka was seen as the true aggressor and he was cursed for it, but his brother was the first to use force and was cursed as well," replied Sharek. "Shape Shifters, come forth!"
The three robed Shape Shifters appeared. Then it hit Yugi what the Shape Shifters were. "Slith, the two other Shape Shifters, you have a connection to the Egyptian Gods," said Yugi.
"Nothing less from the next King of Dragons. Yes, we do. We are the ones who protect the Gods and only Sharek can command us because he was the leader of the Six Masters," said Slith the Shape Shifter.
"Do you know about the Four Kings the Legend mentions?" asked Yugi.
"I do," said Slith. "The Four Kings are four of the Six Masters. They are determined in a grand royal fight. You cannot do it until you find all Six Masters. Master Sharek, why did you call me, Obline, and Rabline?"
"We need your help. He and his brother had a spat and both have been punish for it," said Sharek.
"We can help. Nothing simple can be achieved. The trial they need to complete in order for the power to be balance between them is the 'Ordeal of Memories'. They will only know what they did cost each other something," said Slith, "but I can make sure that the weakened state of the other can be taken in consideration. I will make sure we protect him from become worse off than he is."
"It shall be done," said Sharek. "Ready them both!"
Slith and the blue robed Shape Shifter Obline went to Pegasus and Croquet while Rabline went to Marka. Marka looked confused at what was going on. "It will be fine. As long as I am here, the worst will not happen. Sharek knows what he is doing. He was the one who found the Shadow Realm and had helped the Lost Pharaohs. There is nothing he has not done wrong. He has watched many friends die as the right hand man of Trutem," said Rabline.
On the other side of the room, Pegasus was able to sit up on his own without Croquet, but he took a lot out of him. He felt like he could no more. "At least you can sit up," said Slith. "There's is no way that I can make this less of a burden. Obline should be able to make sure it does not take more out of you."
"I am ready Slith," said Rabline.
"Then I am too," said Slith as he placed his hand on Pegasus's head.
Rabline then put his hand on Marka's head. Everyone could tell something was happening just by the expressions on Pegasus's and Marka's faces. Then in five minutes it stopped. Pegasus was able to get up, but he still looked drained and sick. "It has been awhile," said Pegasus weakly, "since I felt like I could call forth my beast, but not now."
"I do understand why you have treated me so," said Marka, "but can we allow for that to past and let us not be fighting."
"I will see to that later. Now I need to go retrieve something. Yugi, Atemu, and Gasa are the ones who I chose to help me," said Pegasus.
Yugi, Atemu, and Gasa came towards Pegasus. "Why us?" asked Yugi.
"Oh, you will learn," said Pegasus as he walked past his brother with Yugi, Atemu, and Gasa in tow.
Pegasus stopped outside a cave, the very same cave that he had been inside yesterday. "My deck and a duel disk that I have not use is in there," said Pegasus. "Gasa, I wish to talk to you out here."
Yugi and Atemu went inside the cave. Pegasus just sat down and pulled out the necklace. Pegasus opened the charm and it had the picture of his wife and himself when they first married. "What is so special about that painting that reminds me about my sister?" asked Gasa.
"My wife, but she died. I tried to find some way to bring her back, but the Millennium Eye was stolen and I have only one eye now," said Pegasus. "I heard from Atemu that you gave up your life for him and asked something from the gods in Japanese."
"So, he remembered me. I am glad. I asked to be reincarnated into a guy who would love my sister in her reincarnated form. I wanted the gods to make sure that guy did not have to live without her," said Gasa.
Pegasus looked at Gasa in shock. "Are you kidding? I didn't find a way to bring her back," said Pegasus.
"Check her grave. If no body, she is probably coming back. I don't know circumstances that will bring her back," said Gasa.
Inside the cave, Atemu and Yugi were admiring the cave. They were amused by what they were seeing at the bottom of the pool. There was a lot of gold jerwerly and an incomplete painting. The painting amused Yugi and Atemu the most because it was a picture of Pegasus and his wife at their wedding. "Who would've guess? He still has sorrow inside of him," said Atemu.
"I guess we know why he chose us. He wanted us to see this cave and learn his grief. Let's get what we came here for and leave," said Yugi.
They pick up the duel disk that did have Pegasus's deck. When they exited the cave, they went back to the castle with Gasa and Pegasus. By the time they got back, it was time for lunch and Mai was sitting at the table, looking better than what she had a few hours ago. As the meal was finishing up, Yamisite tap his glass and everyone turned to focus on him. "I wish to hear what has happened in Domino from the only one of us to see it," said Yamisite.
Mai looked at her plate. "It was awful. Two days after you left was when it happened. I was watching TV when the news came in with breaking news and it was the first time I knew there was monsters roaming Domino. One hour later, monsters were still roaming Domino and causing destruction when one of them appeared before me. It attacked me, but Chief Arrowcot came in and destroyed the monster with his sword," said Mai.
"The monsters can only be destroyed by other monsters or a sword," said Yamisite. "When you left Domino, was there still monsters and did they attack any one else?"
"There were still monsters, but it appeared to me that they were searching for someone," said Mai.
"Sabag is in danger," said Yugi.
"Yes, he, my son, is in danger. We need to split up. We should call our ultimate beast. Calendra and Carret can stay here to represent their families. I will stay here as well as Cardagan and Sarget," said Calick.
"I will stay here. I can do much more here than in Domino," said Tristen.
"I will be going then. I will need to prepare then," said Joey before leaving.
"It is obvious who else is going," said Atemu.
"I am not going to stay here," protested Téa.
"Then I will go with you, Téa," said Rawdren.
"You can't force me to stay here, Yugi," said Yuedren.
"I would like it if you did come," said Yugi.
"Then it is settle. Marka, are you coming?" asked Pegasus.
"I would not miss it," said Marka.
"Croquet, ready the plane. We are going to fight for our home," said Pegasus.
When the plane was coming in range of Domino, everyone on board went to look out the windows and saw the state of the city, there was still monsters around. As soon as they land, they split up into groups. Téa and Rawdren were guarding the plane while the other groups would go fight. There was three groups. One group consisted of Pegasus, Marka, and Yamisite. The second group consisted of Yugi and Yuedren and the third group was Atemu, Sharek and Gasa. They went their separate ways. Téa and Rawdren were not having to do too much, but a monster soon came towards them. Rawdren attacked it first and then Téa finished it off with the sword she had been given. Then another appeared and this time there was two. Rawdren and Téa were able to finish off the two in time for another two to show up. They kept going and they did not notice that someone was watching them.
Yugi had defeated the monster before him when some feeling came over him. You better go to your girl. Something is not right about the monsters that are attacking those twos, said his dragon in his head before landing before him. "Yuedren, we need to go back," said Yugi.
"Why?"
"Something is not right," said Yugi as they started to fly back to the plane.
Téa was doing quite well against the monsters, but then a person came out in front of her and attacked her, she blocked with her sword. Rawdren heared what was going and summoned his monster to take on the other monsters. He went over and tried to help her, but a monster came after him. Then Rawdren saw Yugi and Yuedren, on their two dragons, coming towards them. The person, who was a man, saw this and with his sword, he stabbed Téa in the heart. She began to fall to the ground as Yugi's dragon landed on the ground. As soon as he got off his dragon, Yugi pulled out his sword and started to run towards Téa. He made it to Téa too late for she was already dead. Seeing her dead, his anger boiled over and he started attacking the man. When the man had fallen down from exhaustion, Blue Twin Dragon of North had came over. Give him a penalty game, said the dragon into Yugi's head. "You have done the greatest wrong against me by killing her the one who I hold dearly. PENALTY GAME BROKEN HEART!" yelled Yugi.
Atemu was finishing off a monster when he felt the shadow realm. "Did you two felt that?" asked Atemu.
"A penalty game has been called upon, but who could have done it," said Sharek look towards the direction of the airplane, but looked at Gasa and Atemu. "Something bad is happening and there is no way to be certain."
Then Atemu felt a wave of Yugi's thoughts come through their mental link, clueing him in on what had happened. "Yugi called it," said Atemu. "We should go back." With those words, Gasa, Sharek, and Atemu went back to the plane.
Pegasus dropped to his knees. "I've never felt that much power before," said Pegasus before looking at his brother. "Someone has called on a penalty game and it occured near the plane."
"A what?" asked Marka.
"A penalty game. It is a punishment for the loser by the shadow realm," said Yamisite. "That is not good if it happened near the plane. We are leaving and going towards the plane." He then started to walk away before Marka and Pegasus started to follow him
At the plane, the penalty game had ended and the man who attacked Téa was knocked out in a forever coma. Rawdren just looked at Yugi in surprise. Then the two other groups came back. Atemu was shocked at what he seen. Yamisite was even shocked. "He called a penalty game. I wouldn't call it unless…," said Sharek as he looked around and saw Téa, "someone harmed someone I cared about."
"That would be understandable," said Atemu as he looked at Téa's body with sad eyes.
Yugi turned around and went to Téa's body. He began to cry as he knelt next to the body. For several hours this went on. Yamisite received a call and he went off. In a few minutes, Yamisite returned. "Sabag is okay and he is ready to do anything to help the cause. He is sending his brother to Duelist Kingdom," said Yamisite.
Yugi was about to open his mouth, but then he was surprised to see Téa's body disappearing. "The Legend has come true yet again. She will come back. The Gods will reward me," said Yugi.
"We should go back," said Pegasus.
"Max, I need to go back home to Las Vegas. I have my own wedding to plan," said Marka.
"You're getting married? I probably would not see it because Duelist Kingdom has been safer at this time," said Pegasus.
After Yugi had stop mourning for Téa, they boarded the plane and went back to Duelist Kingdom. When they finally reached Duelist Kingdom, Marka left for Las Vegas to plan his wedding while everyone else on the plane went to the dinning room to tell what had happened in Domino. After they were finish telling, Sharek was in deep thought. "What we saw in Domino was part of the evil that the Lost Pharaohs sealed away. I know how they sealed it away. They used their living bodies to seal it. Upon their death, their children will take it up and chose out of the five which one who will have their family gifted with four living generations. Did someone die recently?" asked Sharek.
"I was looking at the records of our family and there was always was four living generations. Yes and it was my son. I am the oldest of the generations," said Calendra.
"That is why the Legend said evil would be unleashed with great heartache towards my family," said Yugi.
"How much of what has happened has root in the Legend?" asked Sharek.
"Most of it, especially those who die and return. It talks about the Four Kings," said Yugi.
"The seal that the Lost Pharaohs had placed was not strong enough to handle one person dying too soon," said Sharek. "The seal needs to reinstated and improved and the Four Kings are the only ones who can do it."
"Looks like we need to start searching. The Legend has given us hints and we should take them. I believe I should tell everyone what the Legend entails in the only part I can read," said Yugi.
"I would like to hear it," said Sorwan.
"I will tell you what has not come true yet. The return of the White Knight with the one who I behold dearly, more challenges, me being hovering at death for many years, me being victorious in the end, me and Atemu being two of the Four Kings, Four Kings sealing evil away, and the King of Beasts not being part of the four are all of the things said in the Legend, but has not came true," said Yugi.
"If you die, and I should've told this earlier, Atemu can't survive. His body is made of the ashes of his body hold together by some of your force. Your force can keep him together and if his body does decompose, then he will never be able to return to it again," said Sharek.
"Then I will see if Sabag has a solution to this problem," said Yugi. "The Legend does say many things."
Joey looked at Yugi. "Yuge, it is way too obvious who you behold dearly," said Joey as Tristen and Atemu were nodding in agreement.
"You are right," said Yugi with great sadness.
Cardagan just smiled. He knew that his daughter would do well with Yugi. He just wish things could be right.
That is the end of this chapter. Chapter Preview: Domino is still in trouble and the group at Duelist Kingdom keep sending three to fight the monsters. Yugi and Seto have a chat about the Legend and decide what to do. Next chapter: The Battle Continues.
