Okay the author here. JJ ::Waves:: I decided on Seto's past name as Setau. I decided on Bakura's past name as Bakenmut. This is my idea on these names so if you wish to use it for your fic please ask me first, Thank you.
The boy moved quickly before the sun rose too high to travel. He slowed down when he saw the first guards for Hor's camp. He hoped no one would notice him. Most of the guards knew who he was so they would ignore him. He just didn't want to be seen coming into the camp alone. He waited for another moment and then quickly moved into the camp. He moved to the water pail that Hor had for his men. He cautiously took a sip of water. He looked around for Hor or Bakenmut. He moved quietly though the camp. He wondered where Hor was at this moment. More important where was Bakenmut. Some of the soldiers walked by the boy. One spoke.
"Can't believe we have to attack this camp now. There been some rumors going about some strangers. One of them has interfered with Bakenmut and so we have to attack by midnight at the latest." The boy realized there was another reason he had to find the Puzzle and get back fast. Then the screams started.
The boy's back hairs stood up on end. He remembered the first time Bakenmut used him. The screams filled the camp. The boy hid for a moment. Trying to forget that time. His body ached for hours afterwards. It took some of his last courage to get up and keep looking for the Puzzle.
Setau was memorizing the spell to cast Bakenmut's soul into the Ring. He rubbed his head. "Would you like a drink of water, Setau?" He looked up into the eyes of Yugi. He held up a wooden cup of water. A weak smile crossed Setau's face. "Thank you Yugi. I do need a break." Yugi looked at the Hieroglyphics on the papyrus. "Is the spell dangerous to cast?"
"Why do you ask young one?" He noted a worried look on Yugi's face. -Why would he worry?- He reached out and touched Yugi's face. "Just the loss of strength in casting the spell." He then felt the power coming from Yugi. He wanted to drink some of that power in but he moved back from Yugi. "Something wrong, Setau?" He shook his head. "Need some rest that all."
"I leave you to rest then Setau. I'll go and check on Yami and my friends."
"A very good idea Yugi and if anything important comes up let me know right away." Yugi nodded and then left. Setau watched Yugi leave the tent. -No wonder Bakenmut wanted Yugi. All that energy would have made the Ring almost unstoppble.-
"Now let's get some rest or I'll be no good to anyone." He fell into his bed and drifted off to sleep.
Joey was by the pool of water. He was going though his deck. "Joey!" Yugi waved at his best friend as he looked up from his deck. "Yugi. Come here buddy."
Yugi skipped over to Joey and sat down beside him. Joey was glad that Yugi was showing signs of happiness in his face again. "Yugi what do ya think might happen if we use our decks?" Yugi thought for a moment.
He open his backpack and got his deck out. "I can't say Joey. If our decks would work. They are just cards in the future." He looked through them to find his Dark Magician.
He looked at the card as Lisa walked up. "So what's the secret?" Her voice made both boys jump. Lisa laughed out loud. "Lisa don't do that, okay?" Joey glared at her. "Love ya too." She and Yugi started to giggle as Joey's face turned bright red.
Yami was in the shadows of a tent watching the teens. He was interested in their bond of friendship. The laughter and shouting and then they sat down and talked. It was strange to Yami. Duelists being good friends. He couldn't see it but there they were in front of him. He didn't know the feeling he was having towards the teens. He tried to shake them off. He hissed under his breath. He looked at them again. Lisa was now sitting beside Joey. She was the strangest woman Yami had ever encountered so far in his life. She was young but her hair showed signs of old age. It was white, not black like most of the women he had seen. He shook his head again and then headed for the teens to talk to them. He stopped. What was he doing? He was about to walk away when he heard Yugi's voice.
"Yami, can you come over here please?" The boy's voice seem to pull at his soul. He slowly walked over to them. "How are you faring Yami?" He looked at Lisa. "I'm alright so far. I..."
"Hey it's okay to be worried." Joey was holding a card in his hand. Yami tried to focus on it. "Oh this is my Time Wizard card, Yami." Joey lowered it for Yami to see.
It was a Time Wizard but the card didn't look right. "It looks like a Time Wizard but the papyrus doesn't look right."
"You mean the paper it's on Yami." The Pharaoh nodded. "It's paper from a far way place. It's called China." Lisa didn't think Yami would catch on to the difference in the cards but then he was the King of Games.
He reach out for Joey's Time Wizard. The blone duelist twitched a bit as Yami touched it. Magic flowed between both of them. Joey never felt anything like it. His eyes flutted back in blinks. Yami was also enjoying it. The Time Wizard seemed to know him. It took Lisa and Yugi to break the connection between Joey and Yami.
"No... I..." Yami wanted more of the feeling. He needed it to feel safe. "Joey? Yami?" Both Lisa and Yugi shook them awake. "What happened?" Joey looked into Lisa's eyes.
"It seems you were getting high on something. Are you okay?" Joey nodded his head. Yami was trying to reach out for the card again. "I need..."
"You need what, Yami?" Yugi gave in to his own needs. Yami found himself in a hug from the boy. "It's okay Yami we'll get the Puzzle back soon. I know we will."
Yami's body shook. "Let's get him back to his tent before anyone sees him like this." Lisa stood up and helped Joey up. They quickly got back to Yami's tent. Setau was up again chanting the spell. He stop when he saw Yami.
"What happened?" He then saw Joey's condition. He glared at Yami. "What have I told you..."
"Don't start with me Setau. I didn't think I was in need of energy."
"You mean you were draining Joey's energy off."
"No... I mean..."
"What Yami is trying to say is," Setau took a breath. He was tired too. "When Duelist compete they share their magic with one another for a moment. So they get the feel of one another's strengh."
Lisa rubbed Joey's back. "That's for the Shadow Realm, right?" Setau looked at Yugi helping Yami. "Yes it is, but it should be done in the Shadow Realm, not outside of it."
Yami looked away from Setau. "I'm sorry. Joey's Time Wizard... drew me into sharing my power with him."
Setau looked at Joey. The boy seemed all right. A bit shaken but he wondered about what were these teens' secrets more now. "It was a rush. That I got to say about it." Joey looked over at Yami. The Pharaoh just nodded. "Let's hope the boy gets the Puzzle back and soon."
Yugi had moved over to his friend Joey. A worried look on his face. Joey didn't like it and it was his fault this time. "Indeed, let's hope he does come back." Setau picked up the scroll again. "We need to cast this spell at midnight or it might not work." The tent became silent for a time. "He will be back. I know it." Lisa's voice was strong and determined.
The sun was, at last, slowly going down. The boy had to wait until this time to get the Puzzle. He had found out that it was in Hor's tent but Bakenmut was also in there as well. He had to listen to those screams for two hours. At last Bakenmut came out of the tent.
The Ring was glowing orange now. He was worried now. It was not a good sign. The other Bakenmut was with hadn't come out of the tent. He was running out of time. The boy creeped up to the tent's flap. That's when he noted the blood on it. He shook away the feeling of sickness coming from his stomach. Slowly he looked into the tent. There was the Puzzle on the wooden table. The bed held the body of a young man. There was no signs of life. The boy quickly darted in and grabbed the Puzzle and the bag to put it. He listened first before heading for the tent's exit. No sounds. He looked out of the tent. He ran for his life.
No one knew what he had in his hands but if he was caught with it he knew he would be meeting Anubis soon if that happened. He got to the edge of the camp. He stopped and listened. He waited to hear any sounds of alarms of the Puzzle being missing. None was sounded yet. He took a breath and then with the last of his strengh ran into the open desert.
The sun had set when Hor and Bakenmut found the Puzzle was gone. The alarm was sounded and the army was on it's way to the Pharaoh's camp. They didn't have any more time to wait. Bakenmut was not happy. He had no idea how the Puzzle disappeared, but it was gone. They still had time to kill Yami. Even if he got the Puzzle back it would take time for the Pharaoh to regain his strengh. "Let the Gods enjoy this battle and see a new Pharaoh rule there home." Bakenmut raised his sword as the army marched to their fate.
What's going to happen in the battle between the Puzzle and the Ring? Will Joey, Lisa and Yugi survive or die in the past? Thanks for the spell check Jumper Prime.
