Chapter 35
The Pharaoh stepped a few feet in front of me, and we both immediately started circling each other.
"I can't wait to have you dead now that you know..." I laughed, malice in my voice heavily. He laughed back.
"I knew you'd come back for me...For this...I knew it...And here we are..." He spat back as I tried to hit him with fire, and it only missed him an inch. I wanted him to suffer, to feel it all.
"I hope you feel guilty."
"I don't." He spat, and I laughed, glaring with a new found passion.
"YOU WILL!" I screamed and tried to hit him with thunder this time. It hit him three times, sending him on his knees. I laughed even harder, and the powers buzzed for control. I couldn't' let them get the best of me, and I reached for the puzzle, getting blown back. I got back up and walked over again.
"I hope you remember...Each evil thing you did to ruin my life..." I spat and he chuckled.
"I don't regret a damn thing...This is all your fault...If you would have never...Done anything...And went on with your life here...Instead...You go...and FUCK A CRIMINAL, AND THAT DAMNNED THIEF TOO! AND THEN YOU SEND THEM AWAY! FOOL! THEY COULD HAVE HELPED YOU!" He yelled, standing up and coughing a bit. I threw a punch to his gut and he fell to his knees, only to get back up.
"Kisara!" Someone yelled, and the blue eyes white dragon came at me, I scuffed, and burned it alive, and as the Priest approached me, I did the same.
"I chose to BURN all who get in my way!" I spat, and say Yugi's friends on the side.
"How could you?" They cried, Ta in tears.
"Because, this isn't the man you think he is! AND I DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER TO YOU!" I yelled as they tried to come in a twenty foot radius. I placed a wall of fire before and around me and the Pharaoh. This would be personal, this would be his end, and he would be alone. They screamed, looking at me with fearful eyes. They wouldn't dare charge the fire I could control, and for all the knew, anything could happen to them, and to the Pharaoh.
The Pharaoh grabbed my ankle, and I sent fire down my skin, burning his hand, but not any part of me. He left go, and rolled away, getting to his feet. I glared.
"HOW. DARE. YOU. TOUCH. ME!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, and the ground shook, sending the Pharaoh to his knees again, along with everyone else. I stood strong, the shake of the what seemed the world, was generating from my powers. I had to keep control, no matter what my powers discovered or threw at me.
And boy, did they love showing me new powers.
Along with the earth quake, the normal tornado formed as well, whipping sand around us left and right, the weather changing.
I lunged forward as he strained to see, my hands finding their way around his neck, tightening their hold as they set themselves on fire, finally my powers working with me, instead of trying to take over control.
And then I was blown back.
I gasped, the sandstorm stopping, to find the Pharaoh on his feet, and walking towards me. I scrambled to my feet, and prepared for him to come attack me. He only threw water in my face, pulling out a duel card.
"Oh, so you're resulting back to a children's card game? Pathetic Pharaoh." I tsked and he smiled, throwing it to the ground as an oasis popped up in front of me.
"Holographic shit." I spat, and my powers made is disappear with thunder.
Atem laughed, and threw a whole deck of cards at me, only to have them burn and fall to the ground before they could even get within 10 inches of me. He laughed more, and I realize he was wasting my power. A diversion.
I ground my teeth, lunging forward again, this time landing behind him as I grabbed a handful of his hair and throwing him on the ground, nearly snapping his neck and spine. He winced in pain, obviously whip-lashed, and I smiled broadly, laughing. He gasped for air, but I tightened my grip, squishing his neck further into the hard dry land of Egypt.
"And this...This is how it feels right before you die, Pharaoh!" I spat, going for my poisoned knife, but he grabbed the key around my neck and started chocking me with it.
I struggled to get my knife, but had to roll away from him to save my own life, giving him about three seconds to -sloppily and breathlessly- stand to his feet. I quickly reached in my pouch, pulling out the bottle.
"Remember your guardian? Of your tomb and the pieces?" I laughed, shaking the bottle even more. The spirit screamed, begging me to stop.
"Please, Master, stop! I will aide you!" It promised, and I looked to the Pharaoh. He looked at me like I was crazy.
"You've gone mad! You've killed almost all my friends, my loyal subjects!"
"Oh my, have I? I forgot you cared. I will go through any length to kill you Pharaoh. If you don't die here, you can't run. Anyone in my way will have to die because of you. Anyone protecting you? Dies. Anyone trying to help? Death. You will be cursed with death until the day I kill you myself." I smiled, and he gave me a crazy look, scared for me and for those who would die because of him. I put the bottle in my hand, and crushed it, it burning just as soon as the glass broke. The spirit screamed, and I dusted off my hands as it all fell into the dirt.
"You can't do that..."He mumbled, and I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"I can, and I WILL. THIS. ENDS. HERE." I laughed and his face turned hard, closing his eyes in anger.
"No one will die because of some stupid vendetta. You will not make it past here." He said, strongly, and I laughed.
"YOU won't make it past here Pharaoh. Only one of us can leave here alive, and that won't be you." I boasted, and he charged this time, making me smile and open my arms, looking like I was careless, and ready for his attack.
Which I was. As soon as he got withing five feet of me, a ring of fire surrounded him, enclosing in on him with thunder striking down.
Time to make my move. I quickly pulled out my knife, but as soon as I reached for it, it was suddenly ripped from my hand. I gaped, and the wall of fire and thunder ceased. I looked to him and he smiled.
"The cards weren't a distraction." He laughed as monsters grabbed my arms and legs, pulling me back and down. I tried to scream as one pair of hands came around my throat silencing me.
Then they went for my face, clawing my skin. Their nails and teeth felt like the burned my skin with each claw, and I couldn't scream. Was this how I died?
And that's when my powers commanded me to give them control, and I didn't hesitate. It was their strongest demand and honestly, I needed help at this current moment, considering that the monsters had come to bring me to who knew where, and blocked off my powers, I let go of control.
It was like I was the light beam, and with one simple blast of light, they were all gone, and I was in the sky, light seeming to only revolve around me.
"FINALLY!" My voice sounded tainted, as if I were speaking in echos. But that didn't matter, my powers were in control, still letting me halfway coherent. The Pharaoh gaped, not actually expecting my powers to this extent, but they were only concerned with one thing.
His puzzle.
It called to it, my soul seaming to reach out for it, and it started pulling towards us like magnets. The chain around his neck snapped, and the puzzle flew into my hand.
"Mine." I laughed, and I finally looked at the puzzle, beginning to suck it's power...
Which wasn't much left, but it was enough to repair somewhat of what I'd already used.
The Pharaoh fell to his knees, feeling his power being drained. I laughed even more, and smiled at him dying.
"This is what it feels like to have everything drained, like you planed to pluck me dry each day I would have lived with you in that dammed palace! Just like the line of your family has done to people like mine for centuries! IT. ENDS. HERE! WE ARE NOT YOUR TOYS, I DON'T BELONG TO YOU OR ANYONE!" I screamed and smashed the puzzle to pieces. It fell to the ground and he gasped.
"MY PUZZLE!"
"You were an idiot to seal your soul into that...It's too easy to break, and it can't stand up against me. I created it! " I chuckled, and he glared.
"YOU'RE THE IDIOT! THOSE CARDS DID MORE THEN JUST ALMOST KILL YOU! I NOW HAVE A LINK TO YOUR POWERS, I CAN TURN THEM AGAINST YOU!" He yelled, and suddenly, there was a sharp pain all over, making me drop from the sky. I gasped for air and fell to my knees, losing strength to even hold myself up.
I had just lost my powers. Again.
He walked over to me, no longer cautious or scared, he knew he'd won. He walked over, and kicked me.
"You're a shallow idiot. Revenge. How stupid. Should have killed me when I didn't remember a thing."
I didn't say anything, and only glared at him. He smiled, kicked me again, and laughed even more.
"I made it out of here." He mocked me, and I hazed out into blackness.
