Recap:
A dark shadowy gas filled the room coming out of the hole in the wall. The temperature dropped. A sudden chill swept through the room causing shivers that were just screaming foreshadowing through everybody's spine.
"The Sword of Ra…The Sword of Ra…THE SWORD OF RA!" A dark, pure evil voice ranged throughout the room as the shadows formed a large disfigured creature. The shadows kept moving like clouds changing the shape of whatever it was behind Bakura, Malik, and Noah. Only two things stayed consistent: The figure was always grotesteque and the second being the narrow, filled to the brim with blood, demonic eyes.
A terrified gasp escaped Tea's lips as she stared terrified at the very same eyes from her nightmares. The ones whose blood was hers…but it was only a dream right…
"Do you really think Pharaoh that a petty sword can stop me!" the voice boomed its eyes narrowing more if that was even possible. Tea shivered with fear gripping Atem tighter to her.
"Do not insult Ra's Sword!" Atem seethed out his eyes glowing with a fire.
"Ra is not strong enough to defeat me!" The creature snarled. "Let me prove it to you by taking out your lover" The creature hissed before forming into one giant shadow before swiftly flying at an amazing speed toward Tea.
Tea screamed closing her eyes. A second later she opened them to find Atem standing in front of her his sword glowing with a goldish tinge as he held it against the shadow. Light flickered out of the sword into the shadow as the shadow pushed against it. "You…will…not…hurt…her" Atem gritted out his teeth clenching tightly together as his chest muscles spasmed protesting against his rough movement.
A hiss was heard from the creature as the shadows started pushing against the sword. The light emitting from the sword would not let them get closer. Bakura and Malik started to carefully walk, the same hieroglyphic crested dagger appearing in their hands.
Eyes narrowed with burning hatred and a lust for blood in their eyes, Bakura and Malik slowly started creeping towards Tea. "Hey!" Joey yelled catching sight of them getting closer to Tea and getting Tristan and Duke's attention. "What do ya think your doing, huh?" He yelled stepping in front of Bakura.
"Move aside!" Bakura barked out seething.
"You ain't going anywhere!" Tristan shouted as he got in front of Malik.
Duke grabbed Bakura and Malik's arms. "Put the knives down!" Duke ordered gripping the wrists of Bakura and Malik hand trying to stop movement in the hand that held the daggers. Noah was quietly going behind Duke a regular dagger in his hand. Duke turned around and kicked it right out of his hand. The dagger fell to the floor with a clank as Duke quickly kicked his leg upward hitting Noah on the side of his head knocking him out.
"Release us mortal!" Malik and Bakura spat out struggling.
"You two aren't going anywhere." Mr. Pat's voice rang as he limped towards them. "I will not allow you to harm them."
"Do you really think a mere mortal can harm us?" Malik boasted. "You are speaking to the Shadow King!"
"And the King of Thieves!" Bakura added. "And one thing I'm good at…is escaping!" With a sudden movement too fast for the eye to see Bakura had sprung his wrist free from Duke's grasp and had switched places with Joey arm wrapped around his neck tightly, chokingly.
"Release my companion" Bakura ordered putting his dagger against Joey's wrist slicing it enough so a trickle of blood ran out of it. Joey hissed. Duke quickly released Malik seeing that Bakura was not kidding. "Normally I would slit your throat but this dagger can only have the blood of the girl and the Pharaoh on it" Bakura hissed out pushing Joey roughly away from him.
Joey fell stumbling onto Duke and Tristan who had to hold him up as he gasped for breath. The pain in his heart was more painful then the slash on his wrist. It felt as if his very essence was being sucked away into some type of darkness, the darkness enclosing his throat and lungs not allowing him to breathe. It was horrible!
"And as one of the self-proclaimed Osirion's of the Pharaoh I can not allow you to hurt him or his beloved." Mr. Pat explained his hand going into the sleeve of his cloak.
"Proclaimed Osirian? You" Malik snorted out. "An Osorio is a great and powerful thing! You can not self-proclaim yourself as one!"
"I am self-proclaimed because I chose to become his Osorio."
"The Osorio is chosen by the gods" Malik snapped out. "Everyone knows that. It is predestined."
Mr. Pat pushed his glasses back up his nose as they slid down. "Yes but since not even the Fates knew when Atem was to be brought to life an Osorio was never assigned."
"Naming yourself his protector does not make you more powerful. You're just a foolish human." Bakura snarled out.
"Osirion? What's that?" Mai asked Rebecca.
"From what I understand an Osorio is the chosen protector by the gods for the Pharaoh. Each Pharaoh will have an assigned protector that is suppose to help them stay on the right track and keep them safe." Rebecca answered.
"Can Mr. Pat do that then?" Serenity questioned. "Can he become the Osirion?" Rebecca shrugged her shoulders. "Beat's me. What about you, Yugi?"
"This is the first time I ever hear something about an Osirion and I'm sure Atem would have told me about it so he must have known that he wouldn't have one in this new life."
"A foolish human is what you both were before you allowed the shadows of darkness to take over. You are merely being used for his own gain. Just as Ryou and Marick are vessels for your spirits, your spirits are vessels for the evil darkness." Mr. Pat spoke calmly.
Malik raised his hand palm facing Mr. Pat as he chanted quietly some type of spell to call out the evil shadows to his aid. As a ball of shadows started forming around his hand Mr. Pat's glasses glinted slightly as they caught the scarce light.
"As the Osirion I can not allow you to harm my Pharaoh nor his Queen." Mr. Pat's hand came out of the sleeve to show a card?
"A card? Hah! What do you expect to do with a card?" Bakura laughed out.
Duke grabbed Joey and Tristan pulling them with him a couple steps away from Mr. Pat, Bakura, and Malik. Being in the line of Malik's crossfire would not be a good thing.
Mr. Pat merely chuckled at their ignorance. "For being a thief and kings you do not know how looks can be deceiving."
"What nonsense are you spitting?" Malik spat out.
"No nonsense, I assure you." Mr. Pat calmly explains twisting the card around the front of it facing Bakura and Malik. "Swords of Revealing Light!" He yells, the card shining.
"What! NO!" Bakura and Malik yelled as they were encompassed, imprisoned by bright shining swords of good. The swords of the gods!
"This can't be! It must be an illusion!" Malik shouted.
"A trick!" Bakura yelled throwing a punch only to get electrocuted by the swords.
"It's clearly not an illusion" Ms. Pi spoke glancing at Mr. Pat, curiously shining in her eyes.
"The Swords of the Gods…the only one who could have access to this power is…a god…" Ishizu muttered eyes widening as she stared at Mr. Pat.
Atem wasn't even able to glance over when he heard the commotion between Bakura, Malik, Joey, Tristan, Duke, and Mr. Pat. He had to focus all of his energy in keeping this demon away from Tea. His whole body was screaming with pain, his muscles contracting and spasming with the pain. It felt as if his whole body was burning with pain.
It was taking all of his will and then some not to pass out from the pain when the shadows started pushing rougher than ever. Sweat was dripping down his temple as he grinded his teeth together to stop himself from crying out with pain.
He heard Tea whimper as one of the shadows were able to pass by him and struck her. She hastily pulled back and Atem immediately threw his arm out forcing the shadow to surround his arm. He grunted in pain as he felt electric dark shadow magic run through him. He pushed the shadow back and held his sword more firmly. He mustn't give up!
The swords power, true was connected to Ra himself, but the willpower and intentions of the person using it is what truly powered the sword. "Mai! Rebecca! Serenity! Yugi!" Atem hissed out his voice slightly husky due to his strain. "Get Tea out of here!"
His three friends and his adopted brother nodded their heads. Mai, Serenity, and Rebecca hastily reached for Tea but were unable to get to her. Some type of force field electrocuted them. Yugi reached his hand out ignoring the pain and grabbed Tea's hand. His knees almost buckled under him and gave out when immense electricity ran through his body. He ignored it though and dragged Tea away from Atem.
"No! Yugi! Let me go!" Tea yelled snatching her wrist away from Yugi. "I can't just leave him!"
"Tea! We have to get you out of here!"
"No! They'll kill Atem!" Tea yelled.
"Tea! Atem's main priority is to protect you! We must leave!" Ishizu spoke snapping out of her thoughts grabbing Tea by the shoulder as Mai, Serenity, Rebecca, and Yugi grabbed her arms.
"But wait! No! Atem!" Tea yelled struggling as they started to drag her towards the elevator.
The shadows Atem was fighting suddenly dispersed disappearing. Atem's muscles relaxed slightly as he saw no sign of the demon. He slowly lowered the sword slightly and started turning around. Joey and Tristan had started backing up heading towards Atem watching Bakura and Malik warily as they shouted curses in Ancient Egyptian.
"Is it over?" Ms. Pi questioned.
"You mean that's it…" Mokuba asked wide eyed. "All of that secrecy and sneaking out for that!"
"Sneaking out? Mokuba! Do not tell me you snuck out!" Seto hissed.
"Does that really matter Seto?" Kisara inputted. "I mean he was helping us save Atem and Tea thus saving the world…"
"Yes it does matter!"
Mr. Pat was still staring untrustingly at Bakura and Malik. He closed his eyes his hand tightening on the card as he concentrated. A vein in his forehead pulsed. He snapped open his eyes and yelled "NO! DON'T!" He turned around yelling.
"Wha…ahhh!" Joey and Tristan yelled as the shadows came out of insulation vent surrounding them. The shadows filled in as if they were vapor surrounding everyone. Most of the shadows went shaped like a torpedo heading straight towards Tea.
"NO!" Mr. Pat yelled stepping forward.
Tea's scream was heard. "Tea!" Atem yelled panicking as he slashed the shadow blocking his view from her.
Tea was standing terrified eyes wide but she seemed to be safe. But then…Atem's eyes flickered down and his heart stopped. The shadow torpedo had struck Yugi. Rebecca was on the floor kneeling trying to wake Yugi up. Atem saw Tea's face pale as she looked down horror strucked at Yugi. Rebecca looked up at her eyes teared up with a look that just screamed your fault.
Atem instantly knew what happened. Yugi got in the way of the shadows torpedo taking the blow for Tea. Serenity and Mai were staring wide eyed in shock before there gazes quickly filtered to look over at Joey and Tristan who seemed to have frozen not moving a muscle as the shadows slithered around them like snakes.
The shadows around Yugi dispersed as Atem got closer to them with the sword. Atem's own face paled as he stared into the soulless eyes of Yugi. They had taken his soul. His soul had been sent into the Shadow Realm. Atem felt immense pain in his heart. Yugi was not only just a friend and an adopted little brother…Yugi was one of his great, great, great, Atem doesn't even know how many great grandchild.
Atem's eyes flickered to Tea…to Teana as she used to be known. He remembers that they had a son a year before they finally got married. Those were the happiest days of his life. Being with his love and with his child. Hopefully in this new life he shall be able to actually see his son grow and have kids. And be able to grow old with Tea.
"A-Atem…" Tea whimpered crushing herself against him desperately as tears stung her eyes. He wrapped one arm around her waist holding her to him as he gripped the sword tightly in his. The light of the sword was shining brighter than ever. One more reason to add to his list to defeat whatever this demon thing is…to save Tea's and his great grandchild.
"Be careful!" Mr. Pat shouted as he and Duke ran over to the group as the shadows started accumulating. Atem's eyes narrowed as the demonic beast appeared. Atem quickly moved Tea to be at his side and a bit behind him. His grip on the swords hilt tightened even more if possible and the light grew brighter and brighter until it seemed that he was in fact holding a star in his hand.
"Give me the girl! Give me her life! Give me yours! And I shall bring your grandchild back!"
Atem tensed looking at Tea. How would she take the grandchild thing. He knew everyone else was confused as well but he only cared about Tea. "Grandchild?" Tea whispered out looking up at Atem, her eyes portraying her shock, sadness, and hurt. Oh god she probably thought he lied to her or something.
"Atem?" Tea whimpered. "What does he mean?"
Atem hesitated looking into her eyes. He had to tell her. He wished he didn't have to but he had to. "Tea…the truth is…"
"What! You mean that pipsqueak is an ancestor of Atem and Teana!" Bakura and Malik yelled out surprise apparent on their faces.
"What? Ancestor? Teana? Who's Teana?" Tea questioned stepping away from Atem.
"You don't know?" The shadowy demon spoke getting closer to Atem and Tea. Why it's you Tea. You're Teana."
"What?" Tea spoke staring at the demonic figure. "That's impossible. I can't be…"
"You mean his Royal Greatness hasn't told you the truth!" Bakura snapped out from inside the light prison.
"Truth? W-what do you mean?" Tea questioned looking warily at Bakura and Malik.
"Your Pharaoh has not been as truthful with you as you'd like to believe my Queen" Malik spoke making a harsh laugh.
"What do you mean?" Tea questioned again taking a step closer to them her eyes narrowing.
"Tea" Atem spoke quickly.
"The reason why Atem has gotten together with you isn't because of any other reason other than the fact that you look exactly like his past love Teana."
"He's tricked you. Tricked you into thinking he truly fell for you but he only looked at you because you look exactly like her. He only cares because he's imaging that it's her not you."
"W-What!" Tea said backing up shaking she turned to look at Atem pain etched into her eyes. "Tell me Atem! Tell me that's not true! That what there saying is a lie!"
"Tea, I care for you. I really do. The reason why you look like Teana is because…"
"I look like Teana!" Tea said her voice getting higher. "So it's true!"
"No wait Tea! Let me explain!" Atem hastily spoke grabbing her wrist.
"No! Atem! No!" Tea spoke shaking her head as tears fell down her face. She ripped her hand away from him backing up. The demonic creature got behind her its shadows lurking around her.
"He admits it. He's only with you because you look like his love. He wishes you were her. He doesn't care about you. Only your appearance." The demonic voice spoke.
"No! Don't listen to him! Tea!" Atem spoke hastily trying to step closer but shadows got in his way turning into gruesome monsters.
"No…No…" Tea whimpered shaking her head back and forth grabbing her head trying to block out everything. She didn't know what to believe. "Stop…just stop…"
"Tea…listen to me. You look like Teana because you are Teana." Atem desperately spoke. Fear was building up in his heart. Tea was too close…too close to the being Atem was trying to protect her from.
"That's impossible…I couldn't…I can't…" Tea whispered out looking at Atem with desperation in his voice.
"The desperation in her heart is growing Pharaoh. And once it reaches a certain peak she shall be mine! And then your life shall be taken away by your queen once again!" The dark voice echoed in Atem's mind.
"Tea listen to me. The reason why we feel so attracted to each other is because we are meant to be. We were meant to be in the past and we still are. You're still Teana. Teana is still Tea. You were never reincarnated. Your soul, spirit, never went into the afterlife just like my never went. I don't know how else to explain it…" Atem spoke having a great difficulty in speaking.
"Allow me to help" Mr. Pat spoke stepping closer as a blinding gold light beams erupted from his back swirling around him like a snake until it enclosed him completely from sight into a cocoon of blinding pure gold godly light.
The cocoon shattered a couple seconds later and like a butterfly emerging Mr. Pat emerged not like himself…he emerged as Ra, The Great Wing Dragon, The greatest God of Egypt!
"RA!" Ishizu, Mokuba, Kisara, Atem, Bakura, Malik, Ms. Pi, and the great demon yelled.
"By all that is unholy!" Bakura cursed. "It's Ra!"
"What is he doing here?" Malik added.
"Queen of Ancient Egypt!" Ra boomed staring deep into Tea's widened and frightened eyes. "Do not let Anubis's powers influence you! Do not let the words of a fake king, a thief, and a demon trick you!"
"Ra you good for nothing god!" the demon apparently called Anubis bellowed. "Stop interfering in mortal affairs!"
"Everyone in the afterlife took pity on you and Atem and your untimely deaths." Ra stated ignoring Anubis's outburst. "A proposition was made since your spirit/soul never appeared in the afterlife. We found a way to send you into the future reversing time on your body to make you a baby once again being that your soul/spirit never passed the gates of the afterlife."
"T-Then why don't I remember anything!" Tea yelled. "Atem remembers! Why don't I!"
"We wiped away your memories for the spell to work but your spirit and soul remember. For it is the soul and spirit of Teana, the one and only beloved lover and wife of Pharaoh Atem! His one true love! Teana, his love, is you Tea!" Ra proclaimed. "You are Teana!"
"I-I'm not…I'm not…I can't be…" Tea sniffed. "I don't believe you!"
"Tea!" Atem yelled. "It's true! Tea please…"
"No! Atem! You lied to me! Every single one of you lied to me!" Tea yelled crying.
"Yes Tea. Let it out. Let them see your pain and hatred at being lied at! Let your heart be filled with distrust and the unholy reasons of hatred! Feel the jealousy burn in your very veins knowing that some dead girl owns Atem's heart! He owns yours but he does not love you! He is using you!" Anubis yelled pleasure in his angry voice as the shadows started slithering up Tea's legs slowly covering her…devouring her…
Ishizu perked up as something came to her. "Tea! Remember, you were never reborn! You're adopted!"
"H-How did you know?" Tea yelled whipping around to face Ishizu.
"She's adopted!" Mai, Serenity, Joey, Tristan, and Seto said surprised. Rebecca, cradling Yugi's dead weighted head on her lap looked up quickly tears streaming down her face to see Tea.
"Tea! Why didn't you tell us?" Mai spoke feeling slightly hurt.
"I…I didn't want you to know!" Tea yelled. "It's not fair that your parents actually wanted you! They actually loved you! Mine didn't! They gave me away to an orphanage when I was barely a week old!"
"Yes…Yes! The hatred burning in your heart is growing! Soon my precious girl you shall belong to me!" Anubis crowed delighted as the shadows consumed her up to her hips.
"Tea the reason why you're adopted isn't because you were unwanted!" Ms. Pi spoke recalling what Ishizu had explained years ago after seeing a vision.
"It was because you were never born! You weren't reborn! You were brought back to your original infancy!" Kisara spoke as realization for what Ishizu had told her finally made sense.
"You couldn't be born because then you would have been a new person! With a new destiny! But you have the same destiny! You were left at the orphanage by a goddess!"
"A-A goddess?" Tea spoke confused. "I…I don't understand…I…I…no…" Tea yelled clutching her head again. Everything was so confusing! Who was she suppose to trust! How many more secrets were they keeping from her…how many more lies were they feeding her…how many times did they think they could fool her! She wasn't an idiot! They considered her one!
No wait…those aren't her thoughts…there her friends…they haven't been tricking her and lying to her…they don't consider her to be an idiot…what was going on…
Tea clenched her eyes and felt the sinister coldness of Anubis's shadows creeping into her body from every single pore. Anubis he's the one planting those thoughts into her head. But still…
"I…I don't know who to believe…" Tea said shaking her head back and forth. This was all too much. It was getting too much for her. She just wanted to run into Atem's arms and never let him go…but she couldn't…she can…she can't he betrayed her…but maybe he didn't really…why didn't he tell her…to keep her safe…no he just didn't want her to know that he only saw her as Teana…but no he saw her as her…she is Teana…
"G-Get out of my head…" Tea whimpered at Anubis as his shadows covered her up to her abdomen.
"Soon Pharaoh you shall lose your precious lover again!" Malik yelled with joy.
"Anubis has almost claimed her. Just a bit more to go…I can't wait to see you perish by her hand again! It has me salivating!" Bakura yelled out.
"Tea…here…take this…" Anubis hoarsely whispered out large shadow appearing in front of Tea moving rapidly until a dagger…the same dagger Tea had seen herself kill Atem in her dream with appeared in front of her. There was an unearthly glow to it…the dagger gave out a tantalizing aura, a tantalizing feeling towards Tea promising dark promises and fulfillment…
"Plunge this dagger into his heart and everything shall go back to how it was originally and you will no longer be suffering with doubt…you'll be happy…I promise."
Tea's hand slowly started reaching out towards the dagger a sort of glaze look in her eyes. All she needed to do…was plunge this dagger into Atem's heart…and everything would go back to normal and she would be at peace…and happy…
M: Done with this chapter! So many things have been discovered! Mr. Pat is Ra himself! I bet none of you saw that coming huh! Lol. The demon has been discovered to be Anubis! Gasp! And Yugi! Oh Yugi!
