I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH OR THE MUMMY RETURNS

Chapter four's up and it's time to rescue Tea…again. By the way, thanks for pointing out to me that I've been misspelling Medjai. The subtitles in the movie dialogue say "Magi" but it is actually "Medjai." Sorry for misspelling that word for the entire first story LOL…

By the way, words in italics mean that they are speaking in Egyptian or Arabic.

On their way to the British Museum, Shadi looked solemnly at Yami and murmured, "I am sorry if I alarmed your son, but you must understand now that now that the necklace is latched to his neck we only have seven days before the Millennium King awakens."

Yami shot him a look. "We? What we?"

"If he is not killed, he will raise the army of Anubis."

Joey leaned forward from the backseat, saying, "I take it that's not a good thing…"

Yami smirked. "Oh, he'll wipe out the world.

"Ah…" the blonde thought for a moment. "The old 'wipe out the world' ploy…"

"Whoever can kill the Millennium King," the Medjai leader continued, "can send his army back to the underworld….or use it to destroy mankind and rule the earth."

"That's why they dug up Bakura…" the soldier murmured. "He's the only one tough enough to take out the Millennium King."

"That is their plan."

By the time they reached the elegant, white-pillared building, it was pitch black and lashing rain. Turning off the ignition, Yami glanced back at his son and announced,

"Yugi, I've got a BIG job for you. Stay here and protect the car."

"I can do that!" Joey pleaded.

Yugi rolled his eyes. "Protect the car? Just because I'm a kid doesn't mean that I'm stupid."

"I know…" Yami reached out and affectionately ruffled the boy's hair.

"Dad!"

Joey sighed, saying, "If you see anyone come out screaming, it's just me."

Smirking, the soldier looked to his brother-in-law and said, "Maybe you should stay here and watch him."

"Oh, NOW you're talking."

Opening the trunk of the car, Yami rolled out his weapon satchel, looking over his vast assortment of guns. He looked at Shadi and asked,

"You want the shotgun?"

"No, I prefer the Thompson."

(A.N: Get ready for me to drastically change this next dialogue sequence)While they were prepping their weapons, the Medjai leader gasped when he saw the tattoo on his companion's arm. He thought for a moment before saying,

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'Any person can rule over a kingdom—'

"But only one of a true and noble heart can rule as a king'…." Yami completed, staring at Shadi as if he'd never seen him before, "Where did you hear that? I came up with that a long time ago and never told it to anyone…how—"

"Then it is true," Shadi grabbed the man's wrist, pointing at his tattoo. "You have the Mark of the King."

"What, that?' Yami chuckled. "I got that slapped on me at an orphanage in Cairo."

"That mark means that you are a descendant of the great kings of Egypt—a Pharaoh."

"Sorry, you got the wrong guy."

"That saying you supposedly 'came up with'…" Shadi pressed further. "Was a saying written by King Atem, one of the greatest Pharaohs of Egypt. He bore that same mark you have blazoned on your arm. You call this 'having the wrong guy'?"

"I call that coincidence," the soldier replied, cocking his gun.

Inside the British Museum, the men were in the process of awakening the creature. They chanted and bowed while Pegasus read from the Book of the Dead. Two men brought the still unconscious Tea in, tied to a wooden board. When they set her down, the rough impact woke her from her daze, and she looked around confusedly.

"Mr. Pegasus…?" she murmured upon seeing the curator. Glimpsing the tell-tale corpse, the brunette's heart nearly stopped. "…They found him…"

With nothing but the flashes of lightning to illuminate their way, Yami and Shadi crept soundlessly through the museum. They could hear the faint sounds of chanting…but had not seen anyone thus far. Unfortunately, their seclusion was broken when mummies in the exhibits began shrieking and wandering about.

Suddenly, the opaque substance encasing Bakura's body shattered, and the mummy himself burst from its confines, looking around at his worshippers suspiciously.

"Bakura…" Tea breathed.

"What year is it?" the high priest demanded in Egypitian.

"My Lord," Pegasus answered in the same language. "It is in the Year of the Hawk."

"Truly?"

"Yes!"

Bakura let out a sinister laugh….then gasped as a door opened. Ishizu stepped in, dressed in a beautiful glittering ebony gown. Tea gasped as well when a vision of the woman dressed in Egyptian clothing flashed through her mind.

"Do not be frightened," Pegasus said as she halted before the thoughtfully growling mummy.

"I am not afraid," Ishizu replied. "I am Isis reincarnated."

"Only in body," Bakura reached out and ran his grizzly fingers through her soft hair. "But soon…I shall bring your soul back from the underworld…and our love shall once again be whole."

Watching the scene play out from a balcony, Yami sighed.

"You know…a couple of years ago, this would have seemed REALLY strange to me."

Since they did not have the key, Rafael took a syringe filled with acid and squirted it along the inside locking mechanism of the chest.

"Lord Bakura will be much pleased," Pegasus smiled.

They opened the box…and to their dismay, pulled out Yugi's toy pyramid puzzle.

The curator's eyes bugged. "WHERE IS IT? Where is the necklace?"

Hatred boiled up in Rafael's black heart as he remembered the Mutou's little boy guarding the chest during the siege.

"I think I know…"

Back in the car, Yugi was telling his uncle of the legendary pyramid of gold.

"At the very top of the gold pyramid, there was a huge diamond," he explained.

Joey was practically salivating as he murmured, "H-how huge…?"

"It was so big, it would reflect the sun and wink at distant travelers….beckoning them to their deaths."

Ishizu smiled at the gruesome priest.

"I have a gift for you."

"Her!" Bakura's eyes narrowed when he say Tea strapped to the board.

He grinned however, as Ishizu announced, "I knew it would please you to watch her die."

The brunette yelped and struggled as several men lifted her and the board up, carrying her over….to a pit of fire.

"Oh my God…"

"The underworld awaits you," the high priest sneered.

"You wait!" Tea snarled. "I'll put you in your grave again!"

Pegasus chuckled. "Our thinking was, not if we put you in your grave first."

"Burn her!"

"You bast—" the woman screamed as they tipped the board over…right as Yami caught her and leaped away from the infernal pit.

"Yami!"

The soldier threw his wife over his shoulder and took off as Shadi rained gunfire at the enemies.

The two males who had momentarily stepped outside the car gasped when they heard the shots and Yugi exclaimed,

"Open it! Open it!"

"I'm trying!" Joey frantically struggled to put the key in the car lock.

Pegasus ran clumsily to avoid the bullets while Rafael tossed a gun to his boss. Ishizu caught it and began to fire back at Shadi, who barely had time to duck out of the way. Yami meanwhile, freed Tea of her binds and gave a grin that screamed, "Payback time, baby!"

"Hurry up!" Yugi squeaked while Joey attempted to start the car.

"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon," all the color drained from the blonde's face when the key snapped in two.

"You broke it!" his nephew cried. "You broke it! You broke it!"

"Be quite, Yugi!" Joey whimpered. "If there's gonna be hysterics they'll come from me!"

Bakura watched as the shootout continued….and gasped when he saw an old foe.

"You!"

Yami responded with a barrage of bullets, leaping behind a box when his attack was reciprocated. He handed his wife a hand gun, gave a slight nod, then they both leaped out and began shooting while retreating backwards.

Watching his most hated enemies escape, Bakura unceremoniously shoved two men aside and grabbed an urn, saying,

"Collect your bones! Gather your limbs! Shake the earth from your flesh! Your master is here!"

Sand shot from the jar, swirling around until it formed into the spear wielding mummies Joey had accidentally resurrected during the last confrontation.

"Oh no, not these guys again!" Yami moaned.

"DESTROY THEM!"

Hearing the roar all the way outside, Joey yelped,

"What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?"

"You're asking me?' Yugi cried. "I'm only eight years old for Ra's sake!"

As they ran out of the museum and towards their vehicle, Tea stopped suddenly, running back and pulling a bench in front of the doors.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Yami grabbed her hand and took off. 'These guys don't use doors."

Seeing that the car was empty, the soldier demanded, "Where in the name of Osiris is Joey?"

In answer, a red double-decker bus pulled up to them, driven by the blonde himself.

"What's wrong with my car?" Yami growled.

Paling, his brother-in-law replied, "I was forced to find an alternate means of transportation.

"A DOUBLE-DECKER BUS!"

Joey pointed at his nephew. "It was HIS idea!"

"Was not!" Yugi shouted.

"Was too!"

"WAS NOT!"

"It was too!"

"JUST GO!" Yami snapped. "Oh jeez…"

The bus pulled away right as the mummies burst through the brick wall, landing…on the soldier's prized possession.

"No, no! Not my car!" Yami moaned. "Oh, I hate mummies…"

Shadi cocked an eyebrow. "Glad to see me now?"

"Just like old times, huh?" the soldier clambered up to the vehicle's top floor and began sniping at the undead creatures.

Unfortunately, this technique did not prove effective for long as the mummies began climbing along the walls of the buildings like monkeys. (A.N: I call these guys the "Monkey Men.")

"Right…" the spiky-haired adventurer muttered, shooting at one before it leaped into him.

Soon, the creatures made themselves known on the roof, denting the ceiling of the bus. Yami shot through the metal, desperately trying to keep them from getting inside.

Unfortunately, one of the mummies had already succeeded in doing so downstairs, and Shadi was having quite a time keeping it away from Tea and Yugi.

Finally, the foe Yami was fighting off broke through the metal, knocking the shotgun from his hands. He tried to grab it, but the cursed creature grabbed him by the belt and dragged him backwards. It then lifted the soldier into the air and began repeatedly slamming him against the ceiling.

Downstairs, the mummy raised its hand and deadly claws sprouted from its grizzly fingers. Shadi leaped in front of the woman and child, causing the creature to slice through his arm instead of them.

"Turn, turn, turn!" Tea cried to her brother.

The bus veered to the right, knocking mummies and men against the left windows. When this occurred, Yami finally broke free of his attacker and grabbed his gun….only to drop it between the cracks to the bottom level.

Shadi yelped as the creature's claws slashed his shoulder, pressing against the window while it raised its hand to finish him. Catching sight of her husband's dropped gun, Tea shot at the creature, blowing it to bits before it could kill her friend.

The spiky-haired adventurer grimaced when he realized the only way to get away from his attacker. Reluctantly, he raised two fingers and gauged them into the mummy's rotting eye sockets, retching as he pulled away.

Yami glanced out the window and muttered, "Uh oh…" before throwing himself onto the ground and covering his head with his hands. The bus reached a low roof tunnel….and the entire top roof was scraped off, leaving glass, twisted metal, and a squished mummy stuck to the wall.

Groaning and pushing bus seats off his back, Yami stood up as they rode onto a bridge and pulled over, finally escaping the dreaded creatures.

Yugi put his arms around the neck of his uncle, who seemed to be in a state of shock,

"Good driving, Uncle Joe."

"Yeah…" Joey gulped..

Panting, Yami looked at the Medjai leader and asked, "You all right?"

Shadi looked at him, a slightly shell-shocked expression on his face, and replied, "This was….my first bus ride."

The soldier gazed at his wife, who beckoned him over, saying, "What would I do with out you?"

"Are ALL librarians this much trouble?" Yami placed his hands on Tea's hips, pulling her towards him and crushing his mouth against hers.

"Oh jeez," Yugi gagged. "Get a room." He walked to the front window of the bus, muttering to himself…until he was grabbed and dragged away.

"Let me go!"

"YUGI!" Yami took off on foot after the car that was driving away with his son while one of Bakura's men pulled the lever to the bridge.

The desperate father ran with all his strength as the bridged rose higher and higher. When he reached the end, he leaped across, barely grabbing onto the other side.

"….Yugi…" Yami croaked, tears springing to his eyes as he watched the car that had taken his child…disappear into the night.

Standing with Ishizu and the others on a balcony, Bakura announced, "I shall now go to Ahm Shere and kill the Millennium King."

The ebony-haired woman smiled. "And then with his Army we shall rule the world…together."

"My Lord," Pegasus interrupted, "there is something you must know. They have the scepter of Osiris. I have seen it."

The high priest scowled and replied, "By the time we reach Ahm Shere, my powers will have regenerated and I will have I will have no need of the scepter."

He turned around and faced Ishizu, reaching out and gently touching her hand. She gasped when she found herself in a vision of Egypt, dressed in full Egyptian clothing…and gazing at the fully regenerated Bakura. He was extremely handsome…with tan skin, white, shaggy hair and silvery blue eyes. Smiling, he leaned down, and captured her lips with his, smiling inwardly as he felt her respond…..though everyone else was quite disgusted watching Ishizu make out with a mummy.

Yami held Tea against his chest, resting his chin on her hair while rocking her back and forth, brushing her tears away. He hated himself….how could he let those men take their little boy away? He was the father…it was HIS job to protect his family at all costs. Fighting back tears of his own, Yami planted a gentle kiss on his wife's forehead.

Tentatively approaching the mourning parents, Shadi, murmured, "Please…do not fear for your son, my friends. They cannot hurt him, for he wears the Millennium Necklace."

Tea gasped and looked up at her husband. "Yugi is wearing the necklace?"

"When he put it on…" the soldier began, "….he said he saw the pyramids at Giza and the temple at Karnak."

The Medjai leader nodded. "And when they reach Karnak, the necklace will show him the next step of the journey."

The brunette paled. "Well…if we don't get to Karnak before them, we won't have any idea where to look for him next."

Yami's mouth twisted upward slightly as a brilliant idea sprang into his mind.

"Seems to me like….we need a magic carpet."

It was time to visit an old friend.

Yugi's cursing me right now, saying, "Doesn't this kind of thing usually happen to Mokuba?" Seems like every chapter I've written so far has ended with somebody being kidnapped LOL…. Hope you liked it and please review!
