Chapter 38: Three Souls, One Body
To all my fan readers. I want to apologize for my very long absence. At first, I was too busy to continue the story and then when I did had time to write, I experience writers block again. After I took a break, I eventually came to where I lost interest in writing fanfics and never got back to it. After a few months later, I finally got the interest to write again. Once again, I am sorry for making you guys wait for the next issue. I hope you enjoy reading this chapter.
Anzu slowly closed her eyes again as the throw from Priest Seto took all of strength from her as one last thought ran through her mind. "Yugi…help me."
Priest Seto placed his hands firmly upon his head as he fought the surge of pain that was running through his being. He continue to scream within the dark room as the rest of the group looked at him confusingly, except for Isis, for she knew what was going through Priest Seto's head.
"Think Priest Seto. Remember what happened to you on the day after Pharaoh Atem's and Princess Anzu's deaths."
Priest Seto continued to scream from pain as the memories finally became clear within his mind. Priest Seto found himself within the chambers of the Pharaoh's throne room crying. He inherited the kingdom after their previous Pharaoh died; however, what was the good of being Pharaoh without a Queen by his side. He continued to cry as he continued to repeat Anzu's name. "Why did you leave me Anzu? Why did you choose him over me?"
"Do you want her back?" echoed a strange sinister voice within the Pharaoh's throne room.
Priest Seto shot from his throne chair as he looked around the room. "Who's there?"
"Answer the question Seto. Do you want your precious Anzu back?" the voice repeated within the shadows.
Priest Seto walked around the throne room, frantic as he responded once again. "I am not answering any questions until you show yourself."
At that moment, Zork appeared in front of the new Pharaoh with an evil grin on his face. "I repeat, do you want you precious Anzu back?"
Priest Seto stood there is shock as he came face to face with the creature who he thought was dead. "How is it possible? I thought you were destroyed by Pharaoh Atem.?"
Zork continued to laugh with a sinister expression upon his face as he responded. "I was destroyed by that cousin of yours, however, parts of me was spared, fueled by your desires."
Priest Seto's eyes shot wide open as he stepped back from the beast. "My desires? You talk nonsense."
Zork approached closer as his red eyes reflected within Priest Seto's blue orbs as if he was looking within the Priest's soul. Zork's eyes became vibrant with lust as his orbs witnessed a red aura surrounding Priest Seto's body. "Yes, your desire for the recently deceased Princess Anzu. Your love for her still burns with lust within your soul even though she is gone from this world. She gave up her life to save that pathetic Pharaoh of hers. What a stupid woman she was."
Priest Seto's eyes became vibrant with fire reflecting within his blue eyes as his aura around his soul became stronger. "How dare you talk about her in such disgrace? Yes, I love her and always will. She was taking away from me, from my cousin and now I will never know what it would felt like to have her with me." Seto responded with intense anger behind his voice.
Zork continued to laugh as he watched Priest Seto pour out his desires to him.
Priest Seto glared at him as he yelled. "What's so funny, you bastard?"
"Do you want her back?" Zork chuckled.
Priest Seto's eyes shot wide open again. "What…what did you say?"
"You heard me." Zork approached closer to Priest Seto as he finished his sentence. "So how about it?"
Priest Seto just stood there, as his voice became dormant as he tried to speak. All he could do is think about his love and what his next step should be. Tears began to form in his deep blue eyes as anger, pain, lust and despair ate away at his soul.
"Well, speak up boy." Zork yelled, as his deep voice caused the throne room to shake.
Zork's overpowered voice snapped Priest Seto's from his thoughts. "I…I…"
"Spit it out boy. Do you want her back or not?" Zork yelled once again
Priest Seto finally spoke his desires as he yelled back at the monster. "I WANT HER BACK!"
Zork's sinister laugh became darker as he spoke for the last time. "Your desires will be granted.
The next thing Priest Seto remembers is his soul being transported within present Seto's body.
Seto continued to fight against the pain as everyone continued to look at him.
"Brother…want is happening?" yelled Mokuba as he continued to watch his older brother in pain.
Suddenly Seto stop screaming as his body stood still with head facing the ground.
Mokuba walked slowly towards his brother as Seto's body continued to stand still like a statue. "Brother?"
At that moment, Seto started to laugh as he slowly raised his head to face the crowd. "You foolish child. Your brother is not here anymore. I have taken over his body and I will finish what I came here for." Priest Seto turned his attention towards the unconscious Anzu, lying still on the cold stone floor. "Anzu will be mine and no one will stop me." Priest Seto started to walk over to Anzu as his lust for her grew stronger."
"No I will not let you touch her." Yelled Yugi as he ran towards Seto ready to punch him, Priest Seto turned around counteracting Yugi's attack by stopping Yugi's fist from touching his skin.
Priest Seto placed a strong grip on Yugi's hand, causing blood to flow out of his hand. A sinister laugh escaped Priest Seto's lips as he continued to torture pain upon Yugi. "Well cousin, it looks like we meet again. Zork told me all about you being reincarnated in this world. Thanks to Zork's strength, I can break your hand like a twig. However I will spare your hand and your life if you stop this ridiculous attempt of rescuing Anzu."
Pain continued to surge through Yugi's hand as he spoke. "Never, I will not give up at let you take Anzu. I will free her and Seto from you."
Priest Seto's grip on Yugi's hand became stronger as he laughed. "Oh that's how it is going to be? Well then, I guess her life is more important than yours." Priest Seto's grip on Yugi's hand loosens as blood covered his own. He placed a strong grip upon Yugi's neck as he raised him up. "Well cousin, it seems like I will get my revenge after all." Priest Seto raised his hand up, ready to take Yugi out as he spoke his last words to him. "Nice knowing you."
"STOP!"
Priest Seto stop his assault on his opponent as his fist was an inch away from Yugi's face. Priest Seto turned his head around and came face to face with the one person he thought he would never see again. "Princess Anzu?"
Priest Seto dropped Yugi on the ground as he turned his whole body around to face her. Yugi placed his hand gently upon his neck, trying to breathe normally as he slowly raised his head to see the woman in front of them. "Anzu?" Yugi was stunned and confused. The woman in front of him was Anzu; however, she was cover in a bright white aura that surrounded her body. She was dressed in a long, thin, tight Egyptian dress that was pleated and on her feet were sandals. She was cover in jewelry made out of gold, turquoise and color stones as her hair was cover with gold, turquoise, garnet, and malachite beads.
Princess Anzu faced the crowd in front of her. "I'm sorry, but I am not the Anzu from this time. I am her past life, Princess Anzu from the Egyptian Era."
"Where is Anzu?" yelled Yugi.
"She is here and safe. I just borrowed her body for this moment." Princess Anzu stated.
"Princess Anzu, my love." Stated Priest Seto, slowly approaches her, ready to embrace her.
Princess Anzu raised her hand towards him. "Stop right there Priest Seto." She glared at the man in front of her. "Or should I say Zork."
At that moment Priest Seto's face lower as his voiced changed to a more sinister sound. "So, you figured it out Princess." He raised his face as his eyes changed to the color of red.
Princess Anzu kept glaring at the man in front of her, seeing the Priest she once known, now dressed in this era clothes, inside the body of Seto from this time. She was able to see three different color auras surrounding the body, each one belonging to different souls. A red aura belongs to Zork, a black aura belongs to Priest Seto and a blue aura belongs to Seto of this time. "Zork released the two souls you have tainted. They are not yours to control."
Zork just laughed at her statement as he spoke. "Do you think I am the only one who is doing the controlling? It was Priest Seto choice that got us here. It was the despair of losing you and the lust to have you that fuel my powers and letting him come to this time and try to take that pitiful girl you are controlling right now once more."
"Zork, I am telling you once again to release them." Yelled Princess Anzu
"You are in no position to tell me what to do Princess. You are just fooling yourself." Zork continued to laugh as he finishes his sentence. "Like I fooled this pitiful Priest, all because he missed you. Humans are so vulnerable."
Princess Anzu approached closer to Seto's body as she placed both of her hands surrounding the Millennium Necklace. "Release them Zork."
"What are you going to do Princess? You have no power to tell me what to do."
The Millennium Necklace started to glow as he spoke. "You may notice but this Anzu from this time received the Millennium Necklace from Isis and now that I have it my possession, you are finish."
"Don't make me laugh. You are dead, who is just controlling a worthless girl's body. You have no idea of how to control that necklace." Zork laughed.
The necklace continued to glow brighter as Princess Anzu spoke. "I may be dead and I am just a spirit that is only here because of what is happening. However, thanks to Isis of giving the necklace to this girl of this era, I am capable to control the powers within this necklace."
Zork stood frozen as he witnessed the necklace becoming brighter as it surrounded Anzu's body. As the glow reached its limit, a light beam emerged from the necklace it directly hit Seto's body."
Zork felt the energy flowing through Seto's body as burning sensation flowed around him like thousands of needles torturing him. "What is happening? What the hell are you doing to me?"
"Thanks to powers of the Millennium Necklace, I will be able to awaken the two Seto's and combined with the necklace and them, you will be banished from this world forever and you will never harm anyone else ever again." Princess Anzu yelled.
"I will not be defeated. The two Seto's are gone and soon I will have control of this body forever."
--Meanwhile, within Seto's body--
Deep inside within the chambers of Seto's body stood the two Seto's facing each other as the darkness around them continued to cloak them as they draw nearer to non-existence.
"How dare you, you bastard. Because of you, we are in this situation, we will no longer exist." Seto yelled.
"Don't start with me. I just wanted my princess back." Priest Seto yelled back.
"You princess is dead and thanks to you I will not be able to see my Anzu again."
"My princess is not dead. Before I was trapped here, her spirit took over your precious Anzu's body."
As the two Seto's continued to argue, they saw a light in the distance of the darkness as they heard a familiar voice. "Priest Seto, Seto? Can you hear me?"
Both Seto's turned their attention towards the direction of the voice. "It's Anzu's voice." They both said.
"If you can hear me, you have to find your way out of the darkness and help me defeat Zork. Come quick before it's too late." Anzu's voice echoed.
Both Seto's turned towards each other, glaring at once another. They nodded their heads symbolizing to put their difference aside and help Anzu. "We better do what she said or there will be no future for any us." Seto stated.
"Right" Priest Seto responded back.
Both Seto's started to walk towards the light, ready to face another battle.
Ok, I know what you are thinking. Another cliffhanger. A force of habit. I am sorry the chapter wasn't as long as you were hoping after a very long absence. I am still trying to get my writing skills back. Please let me know what you thought and leave REVIEWS. There are two more chapters left of the story I hope to have both of them posted up ASAP. Take care everyone.
