Rin couldn't help be feel claustrophobic as they shuffled one by one down the spiraling stairs. The light from Elecktra's staff lite the way, casting black shadows on the walls and over the steps. Soon the tunnel opened up to a large domed space. Elecktra, Marik, Bakura and Yami peered out from over the rocks.

"I don't like how this looks." Elecktra muttered.

"It appears that the magicians are on alert." Yami said glancing at Elecktra.

"What do you mean by that Yami?" Anzu asked. Yami stepped aside so Anzu and the others could look. Magicians, both men and women armed with staffs and curved moon-shaped swords walked around on the floor seeming on edge. Shadow creatures and sphinxes circled above the magicians.

"The magicians seem to be on edge." Bakura noted. Elecktra shot a sly smile at Bakura and Anzu.

"I think I know why their so on edge." Bakura, Rin and Anzu looked at her with questioning glances.

"Akio."

Rin and Anzu shared hopeful looks.

"Okay, here's what we do..." Elecktra slyly began.

A male magician walked back and forth, twirling his sword idlely when a blast of white caught him off guard. He looked up to see a girl on angel wings, blasting the flying demons and sphinxes to the ground.

"The divine magician is attacking!" He yelled.

"Oh, she's not alone." A voice said and the man turned to see Yami, the eye of Horus glowing gold on his forehead.

"Dengen o shado!" Yami hissed making L's with his thumb and pointer fingers at the magician. A ball of shadow energy formed in between his fingers and sent the magician flying backwards, leaving his sword behind. Simon had summoned a blade from the Duat and was slashing and hacking down any Shadow creature in range, turning them into black dust. Marik was using the knife of his rod and cutting anything that got in its path. Bakura was up against a magician that was armed with a cherry wood staff with a purple orb topped with it.

"Die demon." Bakura dodged a slash from the magician and sent a bolt of shadow magic in the magician's direction, which he dodged.

"Hey Bakura!" Yami called, picking up the discarded blade.

"You remember your sword fighting?" He tossed the blade and Bakura caught it. He caught the sword in time to stop the magician's staff and hack it in two. He gasped and Bakura smirked, sending the magician to the Shadow Realm. Elecktra blasted and slashed as she turned sphinxes and Shadow creatures into piles of black sand. When she blasted another sphinx, she turned and spotted a magician with a boy in hand.

'Akio!' She realized.

Akio hand heard the sound of blasts coming from the main room. He followed the sounds to see his family and friends fighting the magicians and demons they had summoned. He was going to run and help, but a female magician had grabbed him from behind. He and the magician stood on a high rock with the magician sending bolts of fire and wind at them, keeping a firm grip on Akio's arm, to the point it started to hurt.

"DAD!" Akio called when he saw his father. Bakura turned.

"Akio!" Bakura called.

"At last, It shall be done!" The magician cried.

"Not if I can help it!" Elecktra's voice came and the said magician drove at the other magician, pinning him down. Elecktra may have had a thin build, but she was strong, and with her magic aiding her, she had no problem keeping the other female magician down.

"Go to your dad, Akio!" She yelled and Akio did what she told him. He ran to his dad and lifted him up.

"Yami!" The former Pharaoh turned.

"Get Akio up to the others." Yami jumped over the fallen magicians and dust piles to where Bakura was standing.

"Listen Akio," Bakura looked at his son. "Yami's going to take you to your mom and Rin."

"Are they okay."

"They're fine," Yami assured him. "We need to go." Akio nodded and let Yami pick him up.

"Be careful Dad!" Akio called as Yami began to climb up the cliff.

Elecktra growled as the magician struggled against her in an attempt to push her off. She twisted and she tossed, but she stayed on her, refusing to let go.

"What do you want?" She demanded and she spat an Egyptian curse at her. She growled.

'She's afraid of someone, a being higher then herself?'

"What... are... you... after?" She growled again, losing patience.

"You." She simply said. Elecktra frowned and she pinned her down. Elecktra struggled, twisting and kicking wildly. She couldn't stop that feeling that she used to get when her stepfather beat her. Fear, dread, helplessness.

"You can't deny your fate any longer, Elecktra Merane." Elecktra stopped and looked up. The magician's eyes had gone completely black, dead. That voice, she knew it all to well. Elecktra felt a renewed sense to fight.

"I will NEVER stop fighting my fate, Zireria!" She spat. With a well placed kick, Elecktra got the magician off and rolled out from under her. Elecktra glanced over her shoulder to see her staff lying on the ground. The woman started to crackle. Elecktra bit her lip as the woman's hair grew longer and turned black, her features sharpened and her eyes began to burn like black coals.

"Hello my dear." She slurred casually and smoothly, a black staff topped with a large black stone appeared in her hand.

"Don't 'my dear' me, Zireria." Elecktra hissed, holding out her hand. Her staff lifted itself up and threw itself into Elecktra's awaiting hand. Zireria frowned.

"Oh, you've grown so much." Zireria purred, stepping closer to the girl. Elecktra gritted her teeth.

"So long." Zireria slashed out with her staff and Elecktra's hip was cut. Elecktra covered her hip as ruby blood began to soak her hand. Elecktra hissed in pain as Zireria pressed forward. Elecktra swapped her staff to her right hand. Zireria grinned, showing off her sharp canines.

"Do you know why your parents were murdered?" Zireria asked slowly, and Elecktra looked up.

'She knows about them?'

"What are you talking about?" Zireria unleashed a loud piecing crackle that echoed off the walls of the dome, it made the hairs on the back of Elecktra's neck stand on end.

"I took control of the attacking magician's mind and sent them to your house on that day." Elecktra's eyes widened.

"What?"

"It would have gone as plan, if that insufferable twit of a brother of yours stopped them and YOU didn't discover your powers." Zireria said lazily. Elecktra felt her head was spinning at a hundred mile per hour. The murder of her parents was PLANNED? Rage began to burn in the pit of her gut.

"You took away the only people that would LOVE ME?" Elecktra exclaimed. Zireria smiled.

"It was the only way that you would see that I was the only one worth that power."

"What does that mean?" Elecktra demanded.

"You are thick." Elecktra inwardly flinched. "Fool! I was trying to make you see that YOU pathetic girl is no worthy of the great Mistress' power." Zireria spat.

"That's not true!" Elecktra turned to see Yami, Bakura, Marik, and the others standing tall. Even Rin and Akio.

"My sister is just as worthy as Mistress was, Zireria!" Simon said, lifting his sword. Yami nodded.

"Elecktra is the recantation of Mistress." Yami called and Zireria hissed.

"Well, she shall meet Mistress IN HELL!" Zireria lashed out and Elecktra met her. The two swiped and slashed but the other would block and dodge like nothing. As she watched Elecktra and Zireria fight, Rin felt the finger with the ring grow warm. Rin looked down to see the ring that Mistress gave her glowing urgently. Mistress' words echoed in her mind when she was given the ring.

"You will know when the time is right."

Rin realized this was up she meant. Rin pulled off the ring and called.

"ELECKTRA!" Elecktra kicked Zireria away long enough to turn.

"Catch!" Rin throw it and Elecktra leapt to catch the ring. Elecktra snatched it out of the air and landed on her feet like a cat.

"You want me, Zireria?" Elecktra called up placing the ring on her finger. "Then come and get me!"

Then she took off running. Zireria growled and jumped down, beginning to chase the young magician.

The two raced up a cliff. Soon Elecktra found herself cornered between a high cliff and Zireria. Zireria stepped onto the cliff like a predictor cornering its prey. The ring flashed silver on her finger. Zireria growled.

"Now, I'm going to finish what I started, SIX YEARS AGO!" Zireria slashed out with her staff. Elecktra blocked the blow, but the force knocked her off her feet. Her staff slipped from her hand and broke as it fell to the floor. Elecktra looked up in time to see Zireria lunging at her. With her jaw setting, Elecktra lodged her feet in Zireria's gut and used her legs as levers to send Zireria falling over the cliff. Elecktra turned and looked down. Zireria had fallen on her shoulder and she groaned as she slowly stood, most likely out of a broken bone. The magician's began to emerge from the shadows.

"Ahhh, my friends." Zireria said and the magicians looked at each other.

"Friends?" One asked. "I thought she was a demon."

Elecktra turned away as the magicians lay waste to Zireria. She didn't see what happened to her, but her cries of angst were all the assurance she needed. Bruised and bleeding, Elecktra made her way down the cliff to her friends and family waiting below. She looked back as the party left the dome behind and returned to the surface. Elecktra had learned about her past, but that didn't bother her. She was going to look to the future.
