Chosen Pharaoh Chronicles Part 1: Longing Reunion & The Beasts Within
Summary: Atem has returned from the afterlife. But for what purpose and what reason? Tea has more to her then meets the eye & Yugi has changed a lot. Full of surprises and a new enemy. Also major Love Triangle.
Note: I am warning all of you that this is a continuation to the Yugioh saga so shipping will take a while. But I want you all to enjoy the entire story and I am trying my best to stick to the storyline and treat it as if it were an actual show being aired or made into a manga. I really wish it was though. So enjoy!
Based on the original Yu Gi Oh storyline
The title of the chapter gives away the surprise in it. It took me awhile to actually grasp the idea enough to use it in the story but I thought it would be a cool twist. I also have a hint about Tea in this chapter So see if you can spot it!
Rated M

Chapter 13: Brothers
Atem and Zorrath were battling endlessly for about twenty minutes by now. They were both losing strength from their wounds and lose of energy. Atem's magic was wearing thin as they continued and then Zorrath did the worst thing possible at the moment. He pulled out his black sword again from his cloak. Without his own weapon Atem was at a disadvantage. So he charged at him only to be hit by the blunt end of the blade yet again. The weapon was covered in dark magic and Atem was thrown back about twenty feet crashing onto the ground.
"I really need to stop falling for that." He groaned in pain and tried to get up but was too weak to do so. Blood was still dripping from his wounds and the large bruises started to throb. Zorrath closed the distance between them and prepared to strike. However, a thick golden hand blade stopped him from doing so.
'Who the hell is that?' Atem asked in thought under the presence of his unknown savior.
He looked up and was surprised to see the Mystic Knight of Jackal blocking Zorrath's attack. The Jackal roared with anger and used his other hand blade to slash into the fiend's side. Atem took advantage of this and pounced on Zorrath shortly after. He extended his claws and prepared some magic for a final attack. Atem made a deep gash in Zorrath's chest. Zorrath cried out in pain and the shadow dome started fading. The other demons came in to protect their injured master but their efforts were useless as Yugi and Tea arrived.
The White Horned Dragon fired an attack at the demons destroying them instantly. Uria then reappeared and swooped up Zorrath. However, Yugi's Gandora attacked the demon god only to be deflected with Uria's tail. Gandora reached out to grab Uria's tail but the Sacred Beast slipped out of its grasp. Then Uria sent a fire blast to the ground. The smoke blinded everyone as Uria flew off. Atem would not let them get away so he called upon Slifer to chase down the demons. He jumped on the dragon's neck once more as he ordered Slifer to follow Uria and Zorrath.
Back at the police station, Joey and Tristan had arrived too late to stop the chief from ordering an army helicopter to attack the dragons. Joey pushed through the crowd of police officers to get to the chief who was still on the phone.
"Look chief you gotta call off da copters! You guys dunno what your messin' with it's too dangerous!" Joey pleaded.
"Stand down Officer Wheeler! That thing is being taken down by military forces. Making orders to me is way out of your paycheck!" The chief interjected.
Tristan held Joey back before he might punch out their boss. They were now extremely worried for Atem's safety at this point. All the duo could do was hope for the best.
Atem and Slifer were flying over the Domino pier when they heard the sound of incoming copters. Uria had taken this distraction as an advantage and teleported out of the realm and out of danger.
"Damn we lost them." Atem grunted.
Looking back Atem noticed the helicopters got even closer until they were about hundred feet away from Slifer. Luckily Yugi and Tea had already called back their dragons to their realms and were now on the ground observing the battle. They decided to land at the pier as the chase went toward the Domino Bay. The helicopters unleashed hellfire on them with no mercy. Countless missiles and heavy machine guns fired at their target. Slifer used his wings to protect Atem for the weapons for did not harm to the god at all. Black clouds of smoke from the exploding missiles started to envelope the two blocking them from view. Atem needed to stop the hellfire so he ordered Slifer to retreat back to the monster realm.
'But pharaoh you'll be in the ice cold waters of the bay. You have enough injuries as is and…' Slifer was cut off.
"And I'm willing to take the risk once you are gone they'll think you were destroyed and move on. Please trust me it's the only way." Atem pleaded.
Slifer reluctantly nodded and disappeared leaving Atem diving into the bay. The smoke covered up his dive. He hit the water harder than he expected. Atem only surfaced enough for his eyes to see what was happing. His black fur blended in his the dark waters and his ear were folded back. As Atem predicted the copters stopped firing and retreated from the area announcing success in the mission. He tried to fight off the cold sting he felt on his wounds while being drenched in the cold polluted waters. He began swimming to the nearest dock but his mind began to cloud. He was incredibly exhausted from the fight and now swimming against the current proved difficult. He needed the beast form to keep him warm and provide strength but he was finding it hard keep focus. Luckily for the ex-king, Yugi and Tea had followed Atem and started up a near by motorboat. Yugi glanced at the water's surface for any sign of Atem but it was too late. He had already gone unconscious turning back into human form and started sinking under the cold waters. Tea grew frantic, as Atem was nowhere to be seen from where he landed. Then out of the blue a loud splash was heard from the right side of the boat and Yugi thought it was Atem but the person revealed surprised him.
It was the Knight of Jackal diving in after Atem and within a minute he rose back to the surface carrying Atem with him. The Jackal turned back to human form to reveal a handsome Egyptian with sharp violet eye, tanned skin, scruffy red and black hair with shaggy blonde bangs. The hair, eyes, facial features, height, and even the power this man possessed seemed all too familiar.
"Yugi! Tea! Grab Atem and pull him in the boat!" The mystery man said.
The couple pulled their old friend carefully. Atem started coughing and wheezing after he spit up the water caught in his lungs. He then began trembling greatly due to the cold numbing his body. The mystery man climbed on broad and went right to the others. He removed his leather jacket and placed it over Atem to try and keep him warm.
"Yugi drive the boat he needs help fast!" the man exclaimed.
Yugi saw the worry in the man's violet crimson eyes and obeyed. Tea tried to keep Atem calmed down so he wouldn't exhaust himself any further. The man was checking the wounds and using his magic to stop any bleeding. Tea just needed to know whom this man was and why he was like Atem.
"Excuse me for interrupting but who are you?" Tea asked curiously.
The man smiled and finished the knot around the makeshift bandage.
"Forgive me for not introducing myself…I am Romaniamun but you can call me Romeo or Roman as everyone else does.
"Why Romeo? I mean it's a good nickname but it's very…" Tea couldn't find the right word.
"Romantic pre-say? Ah, yes I am well known for my womanizing skills but trust me it's merely a nickname sorta like Atem's is Yami." Romeo explained.
"Alright guys we're here." Yugi said while getting into a docking space.
The trio carried out Atem who was well out of it by now and gently placed him on the ground. Tea grabbed her cell phone and dial Tristan's number. Joey and Tristan were sitting in their car so they wouldn't get into any more trouble at the station. They heard that the mission was a success and were waiting on Yugi and Tea to call them. Tristan's phone rang with Tea's caller ID.
"Tea what happened we heard the mission was a success. Is Atem alright?" Tristan asked with great concern.
"/Atem sent Slifer back and dove into the bay. Romeo got him out of the water when he fell unconscious. Now we are at the Domino Pier dock 12 and Atem is hurt pretty bad so please come quickly. /" Tea replied.
"Alright we're on our way Tea." Tristan hung up the phone.
Joey started up the car and drove off to the Domino Pier.
"Man I hope da pharaoh is okay. I admire da guy but he is one crazy son of a bitch to be risking his life like dat." Joey stated.
"Well that's Atem for ya."
Tristan turned on the sirens of the car to ensure they weren't slowed down by traffic. Within about fifteen minutes the duo showed up at the dock and noticed the mystery figure named Romeo.
"Yo guys who da hell is dis fella?" Joey asked pointing to the other Egyptian.
Romeo smiled and put out his hand. "I'm known as Romeo or Roman which ever you prefer to call me. I am Atem's half brother."
Everyone stopped all movement and stared at Romeo. Yugi set Atem up in the back of the car and turned to look at Romeo as well.
"Wait how can that be, Atem was the only son right?" Yugi questioned.
"Well you heard wrong. I'm a son of the high ranked concubine our father had his last affair with a few years after his wife died. Yet my mother didn't notify the king of her pregnancy and left the concubine order soon after she found out herself. I was raised within palace walls but not as prince. I was taught of my heritage though and that my brother was the next pharaoh and high prince. I vowed to always watch out for my older brother and help defend our home country." Romeo explained.
"So why didn't you go to Atem and tell him you were his brother in the past?" Tea asked sitting next to Atem in the car.
"Because knowing him, Atem would've given up his throne for me to be king. He was the rightful pharaoh and he didn't need to worry about his little half brother. Enough about me you need to get Atem to a safe place and heal him."
"Do ya need a lift Romeo?" Joey asked.
"Nah I know where you guys live I'll meet you there soon and please take good care of that guy, he's all I got left you know." Romeo winked.
With that Romeo turned back into the Jackal and sprinted off for their home. They all arrived at Yugi's house within twenty minutes and carried Atem inside. Yugi and Joey carefully placed the pharaoh on Yugi's sofa, which Tea had laid down a layer of towel. His body twitched occasionally from his cold damp clothes. Romeo was in the bathroom searching the cabinets for a first aid kit. His frantic searching ended when he finally stumbled upon the first aid box. He couldn't help but notice the L'Oreal bottle. 'I really hope that belongs to her highness.' He thought chuckling. With that he left the room to check on his brother's well being.
"How is he doing guys?" Romeo asked handing Tea the first aid.
Tea took the box and placed it on the coffee table beside her. "He is still out of it and I can't do anything until he wakes up to remove his clothing. Most his wounds are underneath and he shouldn't be in these damp things."
"Why don't you just take them off yourself?"
Tea blushed. "Um I don't want to disrespect him..." She really didn't know what to say.
A slight smirk played on Romeo's lips. 'If she only knew she was used to taking his clothes off.' He thought in amusement.
I gave away big hints and I wanna know if you guys get what Romeo was trying to point out. Hope you guys caught the Abridged Series reference. As to why I nicknamed him Romeo or Roman, I made up that long Egyptian-ish name and I wanted a cool nickname so yeah it just stuck. So yeah Atem has a brother...a good looking one too. lol Plz review =)
