I made JV Volleyball for my school ^^ So happy, everyone cheer! Or not. But with practice and homework that's less time to type....Eh...oh well, here ya go!
So what's everyone truly afraid of...? Find out!
******
Rekanna felt her eyes sting with tears as she stood behind her too equally shocked sisters. "How could this of happened?! How?!"
"I....don't know...." Tayla whispered, reaching her hand on the edge of the window to hold herself up.
Ayane was afraid of what they saw, but what was also on her mind is how they could be released from their sealed room.
******
"Y-Yami....what.....happened....?" Yugi asked softly, voice shaking.
"T-the spell.....Kuthos completed....the s-spell....."
Kaiba blinked over at Yami as best he could, never hearing the Pharaoh stutter before. "What are you talking about...?"
"What the Shinsei sisters warned us about...darkness engulfing Cairo......"
"So what do we do...?" Bakura looked over at Yami who was pulled from sight. "Yami?!"
"Who's there?!" Kaiba hissed out, looking for where the former-Pharaoh could have gone to.
******
"Let me go! Who are you?!" Yami hissed, being dragged by two figures into the palace. As much as he tried to break free, the grips were too strong. His eyes shifted to both sides, recognizing his captors too well. Both were Duel Monsters. Gripping his left arm was the Witty Phantom and his right was the warrior Hibikime, able to hold her scythe in one hand and his arm in the other. But there was one more presence, the Battle Steer behind him, shoving him forward with his silver pitch fork. Yami grunted at this treatment and tried pulling away again as the four entered through the main doors and headed towards the throne room. Yami was released from the ones holding his arms, but he felt the Battle Steer fist the back of his knees so he fell to the ground on them, grunting again as he was held into place. Head was forced up, looking at the thrown before him to meet a dark gaze. "Kuthos!"
"My, my, what a rude temper you have. You once ruled this city, Cairo now, Thebes in your time. Our time. But now...I am the ruler...I am Pharaoh." He laughed out and flicked his wrist up, snapping his fingers in the process. On both sides of the thrown, two Saber Fangs simply appeared in a swirl of black, both snarling at Yami.
"What have you done?! What kind of spell is this?!"
"A curse, a spell, a plague. All the same for all I care." He stood up, throwing his arms out as if it were a welcoming. "Welcome to the new, improved, Shadow Realm!"
"This is the Shadow Realm...?" Yami managed to breath out.
"Well...no...let's just say with the dark powers that still lingered here, my spell, and the awakened tomb...I was able to let darkness rain free....able to create a new realm within only this city, a realm under my complete control."
"So we kill you, and everything is fine."
"No, no...doesn't work that way, my true form will just possess someone else. And besides, you wouldn't want to kill me."
"And why not?!" Yami hissed out.
Kuthos moved both arms to point to himself. "Don't you remember the body I possess? You kill me, you kill this weak tomb-robber as well." He smirked as Yami's face grew still.
~He'll kill me, if it mean saving the city and killing you!~
*My dear friend, he kills this body...not me.*
Akei cringed.
//Aib-// His mental connection was cut short and Kuthos chuckled again.
"I have rendered your mental link useless."
"Kuthos...you will never win this.."
"Do not address me by that!" He hissed out, raising a foot and kicking him hard across the face. If the Battle Steer hadn't been holding him in place, Yami would have fallen backwards. He tasted the blood in his mouth and spat it out, glaring up at Kuthos who scoffed back. "You will address me by Pharaoh." His gaze shifted to the Witty Phantom and Hibikime. "Away with you both, I have no more need of you." Both monsters nodded and turned to leave into the darkness.
******
"I hear voices!" Tayla spoke out softly. The three sisters had been wondering through the palace until lastly they came to the throne room. Staying out of sight in a mini crevice in a wall, they all watched the scene when Yami was hit across the face. "Look, it's Yami!"
"Hush, Tayla!"
"And look, it's that tomb-robber, see, he's trouble! We should have killed him!" Rekanna spat and looked to Ayane.
"No. The Pharaoh had too much faith in him to that tomb-robber to turn on him like this. Look at his face, it seems so twisted and dark....somehow I don't think that's who we met back in the sealed room."
******
"Now to rid you of this world!" He reached out a hand and signaled something that seemed telepathically to the Battle Steer, who obediently handed over its pitch fork. Kuthos smirked and figured the weapon, staring down at Yami who was held down by the Duel Monster.
'Oh great...I have to get control now....damn but I need the power of a Millennium Item! And I can't tap into Yami's...' Akei cursed from the soul room and tried to focus on some other power but it wasn't working.
Yami glanced up at Kuthos and saw something in his eyes. 'Akei is trying to get control....last time he used Bakura's ring....' He paused in thought and squinted his eyes closed, his Millennium Puzzle beginning to flicker gold as if someone turned a light switch on for it. His third eye reacted and his jacket flared behind him, eyes hollowing out as he glared at a surprised Kuthos.
Kuthos grinned and raised his weapon above Yami. "Your magic will do nothing to stop me."
"You're right about that," Yami smirked.
Kuthos snarled and glared over at the Battle Steer. "Away with you!" The Duel Monster complied and vanished into darkness, not realizing that it was Akei's command he was listening to. *Stay back! You will never get control!*
~Oh really...?~ Akei smirked and took in the power that illuminated from Yami, using it combined with his own to knock Kuthos down from control. Now with Akei controlling his own body again, he dropped the weapon weakly and toppled down to his knees, holding his head painfully.
Yami's power leveled off to normal, the puzzle resting still in his rightful placed as he stared at Akei. "Did it work..?" The former Pharaoh stood and looked down at him.
"Yeah...thanks..." Akei groaned, attempting to stand and as he fell again, Yami pulled him up and helped him out of the room.
"Pharaoh Yami!"
Yami and Akei turned heads to look at three female figures curiously. Akei would have said something, if his voice was willing...no such luck. "How did you three get out? I thought you were sealed in that room....?"
"So did we..." Ayane muttered. "We heard what that guy...uh...him..." She pointed to Akei who was half slumped over Yami's shoulder. "Um...you aren't the same person that was talking ready to kill Yami were you...?" Her own question confused her.
Yami shook his head. "Akei is being possessed by Kuthos, one of the Saber Fangs." They stared blankly at him from saying the 'Saber Fangs' and he sighed. "He's possessed by a creature."
Akei groaned, his body worn for some reason. "He's not even conscious..."
"Don't talk, you'll only get weaker."
Akei seemed to slump towards the ground now and Yami had to pull at one of his arms over his shoulder to keep him up. "Come on you three, we have to find our friends."
******
"We can't just sit here..." Yugi muttered, the three still standing where they started out. A dark mist layered the ground about a foot and a half off of it, making it near impossible to see their feet. Yugi spun himself to look at the palace, a dreary looking place. "Wait a second..." He paused, violet eyes refocusing on the steps. "It's Yami! And..."
/Yami...?/
Everyone remained silent as Yami (with Akei hardly awake hanging off him) and the Shinsei sisters approached them.
//Oh...guess I can use the link again.//
/Huh?/
//Never mind, aibou.//
Yugi signaled his gaze to Akei. /Why did you bring him...?/
Yami glanced around at everyone's worried gaze and sighed. "Kuthos is unconscious, for now. So Akei has control, for awhile I hope." A sign of relief stretched over Bakura's face.
"Is he going to be ok..?"
"I...don't know Bakura, he seems mostly out of it...drained of power at the least."
Kaiba lifted a hand and pointed at the three females. "And what about all of you..?"
Tayla shrugged. "Don't ask us how we got out, we have no idea."
Seto sighed at his given responds and folded his arms to look at Yami. "So now what do we do...?" Yami stared blankly back, still supporting Akei up. In all honesty, he explained he had no idea what to do, they needed to kill Kuthos but they needed to kill his true form...and to get to his true form required Akei to be killed...
"Use me.." On cue, Akei spoke up almost in a dead sounding voice. Yami shook his head.
"No."
"Yes dammit! The only way Kuthos will leave my body is if it's dead!" He started up before pulling away from Yami and toppling to the ground coughing.
Bakura looked intently at his yami, surprised of the words that came from his mouth. "Yami....we can't kill you......I won't let anyone who tries either...."
Ayane lifted her head. 'Man, for a tomb-robber he sure has a lot of people wanting him alive...' She sighed out and stepped forward. "We could always perform an exorcism spell on him, separating both forms..." Yami glanced at her.
"That would work. If this was 5,000 years ago I think I could perform it off the top of my head. But it's not...do either of you three know it..?"
Tayla peered over at Rekanna who shook her head and they both glanced to Ayane.
"No....we don't....but there must be a spell book somewhere.."
"Just kill me...it would go easier..." Akei smirked, but his hair hid it as he hung his head. Kaiba backed away from the group slightly, fumbling in his pocket for something before pulling it out and clasping it behind his back.
"I said no already!" Yami spat down at him, the tomb-robber hardly flinched.
"Like I care what you freaking say!!" His voice hissed, but he still didn't lift his head any more.
Kaiba was a now beginning to fidget. "Yami..."
Yami glanced up at Seto for a moment who had a worried glance at Akei etched over his face and the former Pharaoh glanced down, backing up slightly and standing before Yugi. Bakura blinked at everyone and wondered what was going on, looking back to his dark side. "What's up guys...?"
Akei lifted his head at last, a snickering look on his face and eyes momentarily flickered a blood red. That's about when the group realized that five Saber Fangs had been summoned, surrounding everyone (including Akei) in a ring shape form. Akei began to laugh out as he stood, half stumbling by the weakened form of his body. Kaiba cursed out and looked around. "Damn...I knew it.."
"And you didn't tell us?!" Yami snapped out, guarding over Yugi protectively.
"Yami....what's he talking about...?"
"Kuthos is awake, aibou."
"So that means....Akei isn't in control anymore...?"
"Nope.....go to your soul room, aibou, it will be safer..."
"Ok..." Yugi reluctantly did as his dark spoke of, giving one last glance to the now Kuthos. ((I really need to get Yugi a role -.-))
Kuthos smirked darkly. "You don't seem very happy to see me again, why is that?" His voice rang out with a cackling sound, eyes flickering to look from the group to the creatures looking for a feast. "My dear brothers, I believe now is a good time for you to eat, the boy of his father's blood first!"
At this command, the jaws snapped open around the ring of creatures, pulling in to trap the group from moving. So they thought they were basically doomed now, that is until a voice rang loudly through the silenced air. Kaiba's. "Blue-Eyes! Attack!"
Yami turned his head to see Kaiba and a glowering card behind him, activating from its master's will to shift and shape into a being, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It reared its mighty head towards two Saber Fangs readying to attack Bakura and they backed off with the whimper, looking to their own master (Kuthos) for an order.
"I don't think I've ever been so happy to see the Blue-Eyes..." Yami muttered, staring up at the massive beast and planning an escape within his mind. Plotting it out, Yugi gave him an approval on it and he himself pulled out a dragon card, the Curse of Dragon. Without speaking any words, he tossed the card into the air and immediately saw the yellow and red creature heat into the skies with a beat of its wings. "Everyone, come on!"
"But-"
"Bakura, come on! I promise we'll help your yami but not now!" Yami reached out and grabbed the albino boy's hair, sending a silent command through his eyes to the dragon who lowered its tail for everyone to climb upon its back.
"Don't let them get away!!" Kuthos hissed out loudly to his minions. Kaiba himself had gotten upon the head of his own dragon, grabbing Rekanna up as well. Ayane, Yami, and Bakura all on the Curse of Dragon (Yami standing calmly on the head of it), and Tayla was about to board on, but a Saber Fang pulled her back.
"Tayla!" Ayane yelled out to her sister as the mentioned Shinsei was held to the ground. "We have to do something!" Voice shifting to Yami, the Pharaoh raised a hand and pointed at one of the Saber Fangs.
"Fireball attack!"
/Yami! It's not going to work!/
//What...?// Yami blinked at his aibou's words, watching the fire attack be deflected. //How did...you know...?//
/I-I don't know...the area down there looks distorted, like a barrier almost.../
Yami gulped and his calm face was drastically changing.
"You know you can't attack! Say goodbye to her!" Kuthos laughed out, watching his five hounds pile on Tayla and tearing through her very flesh, the last thing heard was a faint scream of death.
"No!!" Rekanna shouted, about to jump off the Blue-Eyes until Seto grabbed her back. She struggled against his grip, but he was too strong for her. "Let me go!!"
"No! You're just going to get killed yourself!" ((Aww he cares..))
"I can't just leave her there!"
"Blue-Eyes! Fly into the desert!" The dragon uplifted its head and stretched wings out fully, pushing into the ground and then gathering power to launch itself into the air.
Yami took one last look at the fallen body, the remains of it being fought over by its captors. He sighed sadly, shaking his head and looking to the silence of Ayane and Bakura before commanding his dragon to follow Kaiba's. It swiveled around, tail whipping out behind it and screeching loudly in the process.
"They can't escape.." Kuthos chuckled, turning to walk back up the palace's steps, three of the beasts following after him, the other two finishing their meal.
******
"I see the desert! Well...sort of..." Kaiba yelled back to Yami. They were edging the end of the city, they had to get away and plan...
The Curse of Dragon took lead ahead of the Blue-Eyes, Kaiba grunted at this but snapped back to attention when the air seemed to stir around them. "Yami stop!"
Yami whirled his head to look at Kaiba with a quizzing gaze before feeling a shock of pain charge through the dragon and to the bodies aboard it. The fire dragon pulled back away, its skin burning from the dark energy. Yami cringed as he could feel the dragon weakening and looked along its back where Bakura and Ayane were trying to hold together from the shock of pain. Pain change to fear, the Curse of Dragon pulled backwards lurching up before loosing whatever consciousness it had and spindling down from the air, passengers clutching for dear life.....

That was going to be longer. I swear it was, but I wanted it up tonight and that required it being shorter. And just to be mean, I'm going to wait for 5 reviews before posted another chapter....HOPING I type the next one soon. Either chapters will be coming out slower, or will be half the length of this, depends on school and volleyball, sorry. And I didn't edit this one so don't flame about errors o.O;;
For confused people:
-Akei is now locked back in the soul room thingy and Kuthos has obtained control again
-Kuthos IS a Saber Fang that has an ability to possess other beings.
-If you could tell, the group is unable to leave the city...having what happened to the Curse of Dragon occur.
-Tayla Shinsei is DEAD. She was eaten alive by the five Saber Fangs
That help anyone? I hope so ^^ Later till next time! Remember to review, onegai!
So what's everyone truly afraid of...? Find out!

The Curse of Dragon took lead ahead of the Blue-Eyes, Kaiba grunted at this but snapped back to attention when the air seemed to stir around them. "Yami stop!"
Yami whirled his head to look at Kaiba with a quizzing gaze before feeling a shock of pain charge through the dragon and to the bodies aboard it. The fire dragon pulled back away, its skin burning from the dark energy. Yami cringed as he could feel the dragon weakening and looked along its back where Bakura and Ayane were trying to hold together from the shock of pain. Pain change to fear, the Curse of Dragon pulled backwards lurching up before loosing whatever consciousness it had and spindling down from the air, passengers clutching for dear life.....

That was going to be longer. I swear it was, but I wanted it up tonight and that required it being shorter. And just to be mean, I'm going to wait for 5 reviews before posted another chapter....HOPING I type the next one soon. Either chapters will be coming out slower, or will be half the length of this, depends on school and volleyball, sorry. And I didn't edit this one so don't flame about errors o.O;;
For confused people:
-Akei is now locked back in the soul room thingy and Kuthos has obtained control again
-Kuthos IS a Saber Fang that has an ability to possess other beings.
-If you could tell, the group is unable to leave the city...having what happened to the Curse of Dragon occur.
-Tayla Shinsei is DEAD. She was eaten alive by the five Saber Fangs
That help anyone? I hope so ^^ Later till next time! Remember to review, onegai!
