Chapter Thirty Four:
A Visit from Shadi
It was now later on in the dark night, the Airship still on it's way to Alcatraz Island. Everyone who was awake earlier is now asleep in their respective rooms. Things were becoming peaceful and quiet...but that's not the case. The camera fades into Gwen's room, and she was still sleep, her hands still on her chest. At first, she was dreaming just fine...until that nightmare came in, where she squinted her closed eyes and mumbled something.
"I won't let you get away with this, Marik!"
The Goth girl is in the middle of a Duel with the dark side of Marik, and all around them, there were red, blazing flames. It looks as if both of them were beaten up.
"Oh contrare, my dear, I'm just getting started," the Dark Monster said, drawing a card from his deck. "And now I activate the Spell card to bring back my Winged Dragon of Ra!"
The flames all gathered around behind him, and the next thing the Goth girl knew, the most powerful of the three Egyptian God Cards, the Winged Dragon of Ra. After this happened, Marik crossed his arms and started chanting something. Gwen couldn't even make out of what he was saying. Then, she saw that he was reducing his life points all the way down until it reaches to the number "1". She was starting to get creeped out.
"Now, Winged Dragon of Ra, direct attack!" Marik demanded. "Say hello to the afterlife, my dear!"
The Winged Dragon of Ra opens up its jaw, charging up it's attack. As soon as it was done, it started firing it's blast...targeting straight at her!
"Gwen! Hold on!"
The Goth girl turned her head at where the voice came from and saw someone running towards her. She lifted her arm up, her hand reaching towards that person. But before their hands can be entertwined, the blast suddenly made a direct hit.
Gwen then started to yell, and accidentally fell to the floor, the blanket covering her up. She quickly sat up and pushed the blanket off of her, gasping her lungs out, sweating like crazy. The Goth girl looked around in her surroundings, and saw she was back in her bedroom.
"Good, it was just a dream," she said.
She then froze as she felt as if someone was in the same room as her. Gwen looked up, and when she least expect it, there was a man standing a few feet from her, with a serious look on his face. He appeared to be Egyptian, wearing a turban. He also seemed to be wearing what seemed to be a golden Ankh around his neck.
"Who are you?" she asked. "Where did you-"
The man raised his hand up, as if to silence her. "Have no fear. I mean you no harm, young one."
Gwen immediately got out of her tangled blankets and then got on her feet, shooting a threatening glare at this man, as she said, "How do I know if I could trust you? For all I know, you could be working for Marik!"
The man lowered down his hand and then shook his head. "I can assure you that I do not negotiate with the dark spirit controlling the young Ishtar. It's a shame of what had befall Ishizu's little brother."
"Wait, you met Ishizu before?"
"Only a few times," the man explained. "Allow me to introduce myself; I am Shadi, the protector of the Seven Millennium Items."
"Protector?" Gwen then looked towards her necklace, and then back towards Shadi. "You protect the Millennium Items?"
The Spirit nodded as he said, "That is correct. For years, I have guarded the Millennium Items until the Pharaoh's return. However, over time, the Millennium Items have been beyond my reach. Two were given to the Ishtar family long ago to protect them."
"You mean like Marik and Ishizu, who had the Millennium Rod and the Millennium Necklace?"
"Yes," Shadi said, nodding his head. Gwen then took a seat on her bed as he continued, "The Millennium Puzzle was never recovered until it had fallen to the hands of Yugi Muto, which contains the spirit of the Pharaoh. Two of the other Millennium Items were stolen, while I possess the remaining two Millennium Items." Shadi then reached for the ankh hanging from around his neck and then held it up. "Like this."
The Goth girl leaned closer to get a closer look, as she asked, "That's a Millennium Item?"
"The Millennium Key, yes," The Spirit said. "If all Millennium Items were to be brought together, it would unleash a power far greater than anyone could imagine, and if combined with the power of the Egyptian God Cards, it would be even worse should these all fall into the wrong hands."
"And, if Marik were to get his hands on them?"
"He would use that opportunity to destroy the world."
"Not exactly what I want to hear," Gwen said with a disappointing look on her face. "So are you here to help stop him or what?"
Shadi shook his head. "No. Like I told Yugi, I came because I feel a dark disturbance aboard the blimp."
Her eyes widened. "You know Yugi?"
"Back from Duelist Kingdom, yes," the Spirit said. "We first met when I felt a disturbance of a Millennium Item being stolen. Sadly, I did not find the culprit responsible. No doubt the work of the Stealer of Souls." A confused look came to Gwen's face. "I understand that you are confused, young one. Since you and your friends are all part of this, I guess it is only fair to explain it to you."
"I'm all ears," Gwen said.
Shadi then explained, "You already know that three thousand years ago, the great Pharaoh sacrificed himself to save the world. He had sacrificed his body naught but to keep his home of Egypt and the world safe from the powers of darkness. However, his spirit remained, trapped within the Millennium Puzzle with his memories erased, and had not been awakened. However, his soul was not the only one which was trapped with an Egyptian Artifact.
A demented soul was also sealed within a Millennium Item, and now he's been going around trying to steal the Millennium Items, even if it means sending people's souls in the Shadow Realm or killing them who would get in his way."
"The dark side of Bakura," Gwen muttered. "So, what's the Millennium Items' purposes, anyway? What do they have anything to do with what's happening right now?"
"Within each and every Millennium Item, they contain memories from their past wielders who helps serve the Pharaoh three thousand years ago," Shadi continued. "Over the years, they have been passed down for generations to come until the Pharaoh returns."
"And what's with the Three Egyptian God Cards?" Gwen asked again. "Why are they connected to the Millennium Items or anyone that has an Egyptian ancestor?"
"You have heard of Maximillion Pegasus, have you not?"
The Goth girl suddenly remembered. She remembered that sometime last week, while the six Total Drama contestants were taking a break from Dueling, Yugi explained to them everything about Pegasus, of how he's the creator of the card game and used to possess a Millennium Item until the end of Duelist Kingdom, where it was stolen. Yugi then told them that at first, it looks as if he died, but he fell into a coma where he woke up a few weeks later, and regain control of being a CEO of his own company, the Industrial Illusions, the company that makes copies of the cards.
"He was the one who created the Egyptian God Cards," Shadi continued. "Thanks to the Millennium Eye that I have given him. Soon after, Pegasus discovered the origins of the Shadow Games, and dedicated his life to recreating them. But what he doesn't know is that he didn't know his limits. He unleashed a great and dark power beyond his control. While doing so, Pegasus learned of the Egyptian Gods, and determined to find the stones depicting them, until I took him to where they were hidden, within the Pharaoh's tomb. I led him to a chamber hidden deep beneath the desert sand. He thought it seemed too easy, but he didn't realize that the Pharaoh's tomb had been carefully guarded for thousands of years. I used the power of the Millennium Key to hide them from the guards. When we arrived, there was the tomb with the three Egyptian God cards. He tried to get his men to make the cards, but the production of creating them causes his men to die. So Pegasus decided to do it himself, but when he did, he awoken the most dangerous monsters in the game of Duel Monsters. He tried everything he could to get rid of them, but didn't prevail. And so with the help of Ishizu, Pegasus managed to hide these three cards in a tomb somewhere in Egypt, where they were never found...until now."
"And from what I noticed, Marik stole Slifer the Sky Dragon and the Winged Dragon of Ra," Gwen commented. "Ishizu probably had Obelisk left, so she gave it to Kaiba and for him to hold the tournament where Marik and his goons will gather together in one place. And then Yami won Slifer in a Duel against Marik when he was possessing that mime guy. So yeah, that pretty much covers it."
She then paused, looked over at Shadi, and asked, "Does anyone else know your here?"
"Only the boy who carries the Pharaoh's soul and Ishizu have," said Shadi. "I'm going to warn everyone else who made it further to stop the disturbance that is Ishizu's brother before it's too late. Who made it farther, other than the dark being and the Pharaoh?"
"Kaiba, Trent, LeShawna, Duncan, and Joey."
"Then I shall warn them," said Shadi. "Good luck."
And when the Goth girl blinked her eyes, Shadi suddenly disappeared. Gwen looked down at the floor and sighed.
"Who ever knew that this kind of card game become so serious instead of not being taken lightly," she said. "Still, it's better than being humiliated and tortured like Meg Griffin, that's for sure."
All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. Gwen quickly shot her head up, and was hesitating rather or not that it was Marik outside the door, ready to either kill her or to send her to the Shadow Realm. After another couple of knocks, a voice called out.
"Gwen, are you awake?"
The Goth girl then sighed in relief, knowing that it's not Marik. She stood up and walked over towards the door. She pressed a button and opened it, revealing to be Yugi. He has his multiple bracelets, armbands, and belts back on, as well as his Millennium Puzzle.
"Sorry about that, but did I woke you?"
Gwen moved her head from side to side, saying, "No, I was already awake. So what's up?"
Yugi looked over his shoulders, looking down the hallways, then looks back and walked into the room, the door sliding behind him. The Goth girl sat on her bed while the Young Boy sat on a chair across from her, his face looking worried.
"Yugi, what's wrong?"
Yugi looked at Gwen with his violet eyes, and said, "It's Bakura. He...he disappeared."
"What?" Gwen asked, looking concerned. "But how?"
"Tea told me that she was in Bakura's room, and that he was gone," the Young Boy explained. "We searched the airship to find him, and when we did...he was in a Shadow Game against Marik and he lost."
The Goth girl turned her head away, glaring off into the distance, saying, "That jerk! It's because of him that people are getting tortured or killed."
"Yeah," Yugi nodded. "First, Heather got sent to the Shadow Realm after your Duel with her, then Odion got knocked out, then Courtney doesn't have enough time to live, and Bakura either got sent to the Shadow Realm, or...or..."
Gwen turned her head back towards him and said, "Don't you dare say it! I have enough out of this already. Marik needs to be stop or more people will get hurt."
The Young Boy nodded, before noticing something and asked, "Hey Gwen, when can you walk again? You've been injured since last night."
Gwen's eyes widen and said, "I...haven't even noticed that. I guess I must've felt better through the night."
"Yeah, I guess the injuries from the Shadow Game after surviving takes a few hours to heal," Yugi smiled.
The Goth girl then started to hiss while placing a hand on her arm, saying, "Except maybe a few bruises."
All of a sudden, the whole airship was starting to shake. Both Yugi and Gwen suddenly notices this, and the Young Boy suddenly fell to the bed.
"What's going on?"
The shaking then stopped, Yugi getting up the bed, saying, "Only one way to find out! Come on, let's go find Kaiba!"
With that, he ran over towards the door and left the room. Gwen then got changed into her vest, sleeves, stockings, and boots. However, before she puts her boots on, she opened up small compartments on them and took out some makeup equipment from in there. She then applied her face with the makeup that was given to her the night before, and places the equipment back into her boots before putting them on. [1] The Goth girl then stood up and ran to the door, but before she could, there was another shake as she fell to the floor, the camera changed to static before being turned off.
To be continued...
"Hey, what gives? We were watchin' that thing!" Joey's voice yelled.
"If you geeks don't know, then it's an intermission," Kaiba's voice said. "The cameras' been turned off during our experiences during the Virtual World with Noah."
Sounds of getting up and stretching was heard, as Kaiba said, "Time to stretch the legs."
"Aww man, you mean I've been holding it in for hours on end for nothing?" Duncan's voice yelled. "Give me a break!"
"Uh, Duncan?" Geoff's voice asked. "I think I just knocked over your Coca-Cola."
"You did WHAT?"
"You all are doing great in the tournament," Tea's voice commented. "That's a good thing too."
"You mean that?" Trent's voice asked.
"I can NOT believe that they just cut out most scenes that involves around me!" Courtney yelled. "Most of which I was lying comatose on the bed! All because I was sent to die? Marik, you are SO going to hear from my lawyers!"
"Oh please, Courtney, like that's ever going to happen," said Marik.
"Hey big brother, can you go get me something at the concession stand?" Serenity asked. "I want a slurpee."
"Sure thing, sis," said Joey, sounds were made as if he was getting up from his seat.
"Yeah, and can you bring some nachos too, and a big cup of Dr. Pepper?" Tristan asked.
"Why are you asking?"
"How long is this intermission going to take?" Gwen asked.
"Last I checked, somewhere around a half an hour," Yugi commented. "But since we were in a middle of a tournament, it could technically go on for about a week or two."
"Really?" Mokuba asked. "That's about the usual time when a fanfiction story or a page of a webcomic gets updated or uploading videos and photos."
"Exactly," said LeShawna.
"Do you geeks have to be so obvious?" Kaiba asked.
Sounds of Gwen moaning out of annoyance is heard, sounds of her getting up, saying, "I'll be right back. Let me know when the intermission's over."
[1]: The part where Gwen got makeup from her compartments in her boots is a reference to that one Total Drama World Tour game, where it was revealed that she has secret compartments in her combat boots where she puts make up equipment inside of them. And to get off topic, it was also revealed that she went to the same salon as Duncan, though both of them never notices it. XD
