Chapter 6 and thank God I still have electricity! Time to find out how to kill Ihmot—I mean Bakura.
Tea led Yami, Joey, Rex, and Mako through the halls of the Cairo museum, saying, "There's only one person that can give us some answers."
They rounded the corner to the Egyptian chariot exhibit and Tea froze when she saw…
"YOU!"
The boys pulled out their pistols, pointing them threateningly at the museum owner…and Shadi.
"Miss Gardner," Arthur Hawkins greeted. "Gentlemen."
"What is HE doing here?" the brunette demanded.
"Do you really want to know, or would you prefer to just shoot us?"
Yam obediently holstered his gun. "After what I just saw…I'm willing to go on a little faith here."
Professor Hawkins then went on to explain, "We are part of an ancient secret society. For over three thousand years we have guarded the City of the Dead. We are sworn at manhood to do any and all in our power to stop the High Priest Bakura from being reborn into this world."
"Because of you, we have failed," Shadi added solemnly.
Tea scowled and exclaimed, "You think this justifies the killing of innocent people?"
"To stop this creature? Let me think…YES!"
The girl sighed and began to pace as Yami cocked an eyebrow.
"Question: Why doesn't he like cats?"
"Cats are the guardians of the underworld," the museum owner replied. "He will fear them until he is fully regenerated. Then…he will fear nothing."
"And you know how he gets himself fully regenerated?" Mako growled.
"By killing everyone who opened that chest," Rex muttered.
"And suckin' 'em dry, that's how!"
"Oh, Joey, will you stop playing with that!" Tea hissed agitatedly at her brother, who was messing with a bow on the chariot exhibit. She then went on to say, "When I saw him alive at Hamunaptra…he called me Isis…and just now at Mr. Roba's quarters he…h-he tried to kiss me."
Arthur scratched his chin thoughtfully. "It's because of his love for Isis that he was cursed. Apparently after three thousand years—"
"He's STILL in love with her," Shadi completed.
"Yes, that is very romantic, but what's it got to do with me?"
"Perhaps he will once again try to raise her from the dead."
Arthur nodded. "And it appears he has already chosen his human sacrifice."
Both men looked at Tea.
The girl's face paled and her brother murmured, "Bad luck, squirt…"
"On the contrary, it may give us just the time we need to kill the creature." Arthur explained.
Shadi, who was staring up at the museum skylight, ominously replied, "We will need all the help we can get. His powers are growing."
Everyone looked up…to see the sun being blocked out in the sky.
"'And he stretched forth his hand toward the heavens…" Joey murmured. "…and there was darkness throughout the land of Egypt'."
Sitting back in the suite at the Fort Brydon Inn, Tea announced, "We have to stop him from regenerating. Who opened that chest?"
Rex tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Well, there was me and Tsunami here…and Roba of course…and that pink-headed Egyptologist fellow…"
"What about my little buddy Weevil?" Yami inquired.
"Nah, he scrammed outta there before we opened the stupid thing. He was the smart one."
"Well, that sounds like Weevil."
Tea said, "We must find Mr. Lloyd and bring him back to the safety of the fort before the creature can get to him."
The soldier nodded and looked to the three men. "She stays here. You three, come with me."
All three began protesting against their orders—the girl wanting to go and the boys wanting to stay.
Irritated, Yami walked straight to Tea and threw her over his shoulder.
"MUTOU, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" she shrieked, pounding on his back with her tiny fists. "Joseph! Help me, you coward!"
Joey shrugged sheepishly. "Sorry, dear, but…he's got a gun."
The spiky-haired man brought the brunette into the bedroom and threw her onto the bed, walking back to the door and locking it behind him.
"MUTOU, YOU ARE NOT LEAVING ME IN HERE!"
Ignoring the angry blue-eyed beauty's shouts and threats, Yami grabbed Mako by the collar and growled, "This door doesn't open. She doesn't come out. NO ONE gets in. Right?"
There was a murderous look in the man's crimson eyes and Mako squeaked, "R-right."
The soldier looked to Rex. "Right?"
"Right."
"Joey, let's go."
Joey quickly said, "Oh, I thought I could just stay at the fort and, uh, reconnoiter—"
"NOW!" Yami hissed.
"R-right. We're just gonna rescue the Egyptologist."
Zigfried was currently running through the town, fighting back panic and clutching the Book of the Dead and canopic jar to his chest. The scholar had a fair excuse to be fearful—for he was being pursued by an ebony-cloaked Bakura.
Back at a hotel room, Weevil was knocking over furniture and tearing drawers out of dressers, frantically searching for something.
Kicking in the door and striding into the room, Yami exclaimed, "Well, well, well…Let me guess…spring cleaning?"
Weevil yelped and ran for the open window, but the soldier threw a chair at him, knocking him to the ground. (A.N: I love it when Yami torments Weevil.)
"Nice shot," Joey grinned as Yami grabbed his ex-partner off the floor.
"Oh, Weevil, did you fall down? Let me help you…" he slammed the spectacled man into a bookshelf.
Yami asked in a falsely sweet tone, "You came back to the desert with a new friend, didn't you, Weevil?"
"What friend?" the green-haired man whimpered pathetically. "You are my only friend."
The red-eyed warrior's anger was ignited once again and he threw his enemy onto the table, snarling, "What are you doing for this creep? What's in it for you?"
"It is better to be the right hand of the devil than in his path," Weevil panted. "As long as I serve him…I am immune."
The mummy's servant was slammed against a pile of boxes.
"Immune from what?"
"I don't wanna tell you…you'll just hurt me some more."
Yami's crimson eyes narrowed into slits and he held Weevil up so that his face was only inches from the spinning ceiling fan.
"What are you looking for?" he hissed. "And try not to lie to me!"
Weevil screamed. "The book! The black book they found at Hamunaptra! He wants it back! He said to me it would be worth its weight in gold."
"What does he want the book for?"
"Oh, come on, I don't know—gahh!"
The bug-like man found his head even closer to the fan blades.
"Something about bringing his dead girlfriend back to life! But that's all. He just wants the book, I swear…just the book I swear….and that girl…but other than that…"
Their attention was caught by screaming coming from outside. Weevil took the chance to punch his captor in the stomach and run to the window, jumping out and escaping in the streets.
Yami and Joey rushed to see what was happening. People were backing fearfully away from a cloaked man…who was standing over the dried remains of Zigfried Lloyd. He bent down, picked up both the black book and a canopic jar, and slowly turned to look up at the men watching him from the window. They saw that Bakura's face, though still mostly rotted, was now covered with a thin layer of pasty skin. He stared at the men for a moment…then his mouth opened wider than humanly possible and a swarm of flies came out.
Yami and Joey slammed the shutters closed and looked at each other.
"That's two down and two to go…" Yami muttered.
Joey replied worriedly, "And then he'll be going after Tea!"
Back at the Inn, Mako stared absent-mindedly out the window, lost in his own fearful thoughts. Finally he scowled and shouted, "Forget this! I'm goin' downstairs to get a drink. You want something?"
Rex nodded as his friend headed towards the door. "Yeah…get me a glass of bourbon."
"All right."
"And a shot of bourbon."
"Yeah, okay, okay…"
"And a bourbon chaser!"
"I'll get your dang bourbon!"
"Don't worry about the door," Rex smirked and slammed it shut.
He then turned around and eyed the canopic jar in his chair. The cowboy grinned childishly and flipped his gun around, aiming at the jar as if it were an opponent. As if angered by this act of disrespect, the wind howled in the room and Rex whipped his pistol out again, creeping towards the open window.
A gust of sand blew into the room, knocking Rex over, then lifting him into the air. To anyone watching, it would have looked as if the man was sucked dry of everything and then tossed aside like a piece of trash.
Stepping into the room, Bakura smiled, grossly crunching a scarab as it crawled into the only decayed hole left on his face. He was almost completely restored now, with tan skin, shoulder-length, shaggy white hair, and silvery blue eyes. Smiling in satisfaction, he went to the locked door and transformed his body into sand, sliding easily through the key hole to the other side.
Tea was fast asleep and Bakura sat down on the bed, gazing down at her beauteous slumbering face.
"…Isis…" the high priest murmured, missing the old sensation of her kiss.
Consequently, Bakura leaned down, and pressed his mouth against Tea's, his lips transforming back into the rotting ones of a mummy. Waking up, the girl let out a muffled scream…just as her friends burst through the door.
"HEY!" Yami roared. "GET YOUR UGLY FACE OFF OF HER!"
Bakura stood up, eyes narrowed, and spoke something in ancient Egyptian.
The soldier grinned. "Look what I got!" he held up Tea's cat.
The restored mummy yelped and stepped backwards. None too happy about this strange man (or the one holding it for that matter), the peeved cat hissed and Bakura screamed in terror, vanishing into the sandy wind.
Tea sat up from the side of the bed, her chocolate hair sticking out in all directions and her blue eyes wide with shock.
"You all right?" Yami asked Tea worriedly.
"Well, I'm not sure…" Joey replied, and, once again, Yami looked at him as if he had two heads.
The trio along with Mako hopped into Joey's car and rode to meet Shadi and Arthur back at the museum.
As the group ran up the stairs, Tea explained, "According to legend, the black book Mr. Lloyd and the others found at Hamunaptra is supposed to bring people back from the dead. Until now, it was a notion I was unwilling to believe."
Yami smirked. "Believe it, sister, that's what brought our buddy back to life."
"I'm thinking that if the black book can bring people back to life—"
"Then maybe the gold book can kill him," the soldier completed.
The brunette nodded. "That's the myth. Now we just have to find out where the gold book is hidden."
Suddenly, they heard chanting coming from the streets. The group ran to the window to see thousands of men, all chanting Bakura's name and covered in what looked like…
"Last but not least, my favorite plague—boils and sores," Joey grimaced.
"They have become his slaves," Shadi muttered. "So it has begun…the beginning of the end…"
"Not quite yet it hasn't," Tea replied fiercely. "C'mon!"
The young woman ran to one of the museum artifacts which was covered in hieroglyphics speaking about the two books.
"According to Bembridge scholars," The brunette began, "the golden Book of Amun-Ra is located inside the statue of Anubis."
Joey cocked his head confusedly. "That's where we found the black book."
"Exactly. The Bembridge scholars mixed the books up…mixed up where they were buried. So if the black book is located inside the statue of Anubis, then the golden book must be inside…"
Bakura's angry followers forced open the museum doors, relentlessly hunting for those who dared defy their master's will.
"C'mon, Tea, faster!" Joey pleaded.
Searching the hieroglyphics, the girl replied, "Patience is a virtue."
"Not right now it isn't!" Yami exclaimed, anxiously eyeing the rampaging men downstairs.
"Uh…think I'll go get the car started," the blonde muttered before taking an alternate route out of the museum.
"I've got it!" Tea grinned. "The golden Book of Amun-Ra is located inside the statue of Horus! Take that, Bembrigde scholars!"
Outside, Joey raced toward his car and cringed when the mob began rampaging towards him. Getting an idea, he stood ramrod straight and bugged out his eyes, walking stiffly forward and chanting, "Bakura…Bakura…Bakura…"
Sure enough, the brainwashed people believed him to be one of them, and Joey was able to safely get back to his car and start it right as his comrades came running out of the building.
Weevil came out just in time to see them jumping into the car and shouted, "Bakura! Down here, Bakura!"
Bakura appeared at the museum window and roared down at them.
"You're gonna get yours, Weevil!" Yami snarled as the car pulled away. "You hear me? You're gonna get yours!" (A.N: sounds like that scene in The Wrong Track part 3 when Yami tells Weevil he's going to "pay dearly" for tricking him.)
Weevil smirked. "Oh yeah, like I've never heard THAT before!"
The yellow car tore through the narrow streets, easily evading the mob behind them…only to be halted by the mob in front of them.
Yami stared at Bakura's followers for a moment…then slammed on the gas, shooting the car forward and knocking into the enemies like bowling pins.
Several boil-covered men clung to the vehicle, but the heroes worked together to shake them off as well as remain in the car. Mako, unfortunately, wasn't so lucky. He was seized from behind and sent tumbling onto the road, where he leaped to his feet and began shooting. No sooner had his pistols run out of ammunition…than Bakura appeared before him.
The high priest arched an eyebrow, staring at the terrified man as if to say, "Well?"
Thinking that perhaps his life would be spared if he cooperated, Mako shakily presented the creature with the last canopic jar. This was, ironically, the worst thing he could have done—for Bakura was bound by law to assimilate all who opened the box and stole the jars…so he did just that.
The car crashed into a market stall, rendering it stuck on the curb. Adjusting to the situation, Yami lifted Tea out of the vehicle and told her to run, swinging his torch toward the mob before joining her.
The remaining heroes were trapped, surrounding by Bakura's followers, and soon, the high priest himself appeared.
"It's the creature…" Arthur breathed. "He is fully restored."
"Keetah mi pharos a ja nilo, isirian," Bakura spoke.
Weevil translated, "Come with me, my princess. It is time to make you mine…forever."
"For all eternity, idiot," Tea shot back.
The bug man looked slightly perturbed as Bakura continued, "Koontash dai na a ja nilo."
"Take my hand and I will spare your friends."
"Oh dear…" The brunette muttered, glancing at her spiky haired companion. "Have you got any bright ideas?"
"I'm thinking…"
"You'd better think of something fast," Tea warned, "because if he turns me into a mummy YOU'RE the first one I'm coming after."
Yami shot her a look that screamed, "Really? After all we've been through?"
Seeing no other alternative, the young woman stepped forward and took Bakura's arm.
"NO!" Yami gasped as Shadi held him back.
"He still has to take me to Hamunaptra to perform the ritual," Tea assured him.
"She is right. Live today, fight tomorrow."
The soldier glanced at the brunette's pleading, beautiful face, and his heart lurched. With hatred in his crimson eyes and venom in his haunting voice, Yami stared at Bakura and growled, "I'll be seeing YOU again."
The priest smirked and wrapped an arm around Tea, leading her away while Weevil wrenched the key away from Joey.
Once they were a safe distance away Bakura shouted, "Kill them all!"
The girl screamed and tried to get away from him while Weevil shouted, "Goodbye, my friend!"
"Come here, you little—" Yami raced forward to grab him…but it was no use…for he, Joey, Arthur, and Shadi were surrounded by Bakura's followers…with no way out.
Bakura not keeping his word…am I the only one who TOTALLY saw that coming? Please review!
