"I suppose we can help." Yami said, after Simon explained the situation."It's not like there's much more we can do for the time being."
"Thank you, Ki-, I mean, young one." Simon said, smiling.
Still looking at him curiously, Yami followed him. At the end of the Coliseum, they met Yugi.
"Hey guys! I heard about Pegasus, and want to come along with you!" He said, gripping his hands in anticipation.
"I suppose you're bored too." Yami said, smiling approvingly." Very well. It is good that you are so eager to meet life's challenges head-on, little one."
"I'M NOT LITTLE ANYMORE!" Yugi screamed, shaking both of them off their feet.
"Not right now at least." Simon said as he righted himself up." Remember: we're in the Shadow Realm, but only in soul form. Our bodies are just the same back on earth."
Yugi's mouth dropped. He then turned around, and a sniffing noise was heard. "I...I'm sorry I yelled.*sniff* L.ll.let's go."
Yami gave a glare to Simon, before his clothes suddenly changed to that of the Dark Magician's, and Yugi's to Gaia's. Gaia's horse appeared under Yugi's legs, hoisting him up.
Simon gripped a set of cards in his pocket, and started floating in the air.
"Let's go." Yami said as well, and the three flew off, or at least two did. Yugi's steed moved fast enough to consider being flight, but the rider looked very downcast.
***************************************************************
Bakura woke, realizing immediately something was wrong. He felt intense pressure from all sides; something thick, yet wet, was slipping down his arms and legs.
He also could see only what was out of a small hole, a few feet away, and his eyes were burning. He struggled to understand what was happening.
Then it hit him, as a piece of what was on him crumbled a bit. He was under a large pile of stone and rubble. The wet liquid was his blood.
"My god! Bakura, are you alright?" He heard Zeph's worried voice. He tried to answer, but felt his mouth stopped my a painful rock.
He heard several coughing noises, and realized with a jolt they were his own.
"I..can't move.." He heard his own voice speak outside the rubble. "What happened...it hurts...."
"That weirdo summoned some large dragon. It must've been at least thirty feet long!" Mike's voice answered."It destroyed this whole place. That guy didn't survive; see those burn marks over there? It's what's left of him."
Bakura wanted nothing more than to scream out, to get their attention...how could they mistake this person for him?
He saw Zeph and Mike's legs, then saw himself! He was struggling to get up, and they were helping him to his feet. He looked even worse than Bakura felt.
Then he opened his eyes. Blood was streaming on to them, just like everywhere else on his mangled body. But the eyes-
{NOOOOO! HE'S ALIVE!} Bakura screamed in his mind. Ryou cast a half-smirk toward him, then fainted, faking the voice perfectly.
"He's unconscious." Zeph squeeled, scared." Oh, Mike, what are we going to do?"
" I think we should try and get him to a doctor, fast. We got out lucky; except for your wings."
"If I find those other two I'll kill them!" She screamed; Bakura saw her wings were badly scratched."They're dead!"
Bakura felt tears forming as they left. Then, slowly, he started the process of moving. It hurt, even more than not, and it was slow.
In a few hours, he would make it out, his clothes ripped and red, his body slowly clotting up, but he wouldn't care.
For unbeknownst to him, a rage was pouring into his eyes like never before.
***************************************************************
Shade stirred fitfully as she slowly started to doze off. From her Scales, she felt a large smash in the order of justice.
She vaguely wondered who had done it, for some rason, before finally sleeping. She was too happy to get mad anyway; her Scales were working more, she was seeing more than she wasn't.
She groaned as she realized she could hear another girl's thoughts again, it was another one of those dreams.
This girl was stressed now, but not the kind had been when she saw racing to warn someone.
She couldn't see, so she guessed this was before the girl had the Scales. She could feel very well, though.
From what she could tell, she was tied to some kind of board, that was moving rickedly in some direction.
She also wondered, as she felt, exactly why her mouth was covered, and she was wearing something that Mai would consider indecent.
"So, you heard who this girl's supposed to be given to?" Came a rough voice from her upper right. She remembered the voice; it sounded like Rex Raptor.
"Yeah. Apparantly we got lucky enough to bring this to the Pharoah himself!" Came the high-pitched voice of Weevil Underwood.
"Yeah, but we had better not hope for a reward; the guy's heart is totally golden!" Came an annoyed, raspy voice. Shade was vaguely reminded of a kid she had heard hanging around Bandit Keith at Duelist Kingdom.
"I know, it's disgusting! He doesn't accept ANY of our boss's "gifts", he barely even looks at the women!"
"He IS a Pharoah, you know." Came a familier voice; she couldn't quite place it, though." And I don't like this either. She's a DECENDANT of those Hebrews, not one herself!"
"Ryolfice, your honor sickens me." Came a new voice, one Shade hadn't heard at all before. It was deep, and had a strange echoing effect. "You were even objecting to them being slaves in the past a few years ago! You should learn to better hold your tongue, lest you lose that with your rank!"
"Yes, High Priest Fear." Ryolfice groaned.
"And Skeltar, Ryuzo, Haga, you should shut up! You're job is to carry this new present to the Pharoah, and make sure she doesn't trick him! We don't want another repeat of the Cleopatra incident, do we?"
"No, sir." The other three groaned.
"Besides, my Egyptian equal will surely recieve her anyway if the Pharoah declines." Fear said with amusement." People say that when High Priest Sephiroth gets a new toy, it doesn't leave until it's broken!"
Shade felt a slight tip from the corner that Ryolfice was holding up, as if his arms were shaking; in anger or fear, she couldn't guess.
FLASH
She realized she was in another memory-like thing; she could see, and feel her Scales under her front robes.
"Ah, Judgement, er, that was your name today, right?" Came the familier voice of Yami.
"Pharoah Yu-Gi-Oh!" She said, sensing embarrassment from the other person's mind. So, this girl changed her name on a daily basis too?
"I just wondered how things were going." The Pharoah said, smiling. " I mean, you seem a little more distant nowaday. Your decisions in the court are harsher, you tend to tread away from things,-"
"I've just, well, been slightly occupied." She answered. Shade tried looking for a reason why Judgement was even more embarrassed, but she seemed to hit a large wall on that.
"Okay. See you tommorrow, hopefully." Yu-gi-oh said, slightly worried.
"I know." Judgement said, using her Scales to glance around."I still don't understand how that thief has so many supporters! Who would even believe his stories, anyway?"
"Yes." The young Pharoah breathed." He's very resourceful Maybe this time, though, we can finally convict him. If he doesn't escape again, that is."
FLASH
{This is getting annoying.} Shade thought, bored.
She was crouched down, feeling very nervous.
"Yes, all goes according to plan." Came a sinister, snakey voice." You have been a great help to me, young Sephiroth."
"Thank you, Lord Heishin." Came the voice of Seto Kaiba. Shade felt Judgement's heart snap in two.
*How could he!? He's...he's been Yu-gi-oh's best friend for years...he's saved lives, he's..... for....he........*
Shade understood that earlier block now. It was obvious that this girl was insanely obsessed with this Sephiroth guy.
Abrubtly, Judgement stood up."I've got to warn everyone! Nobody in the palace is safe!"
She ran, paying no attention to the tears in her face, and not stopping to think when she passed a man wearing a long black cloak and strutting along casually.
{Something tells me that guy was more important.} Shade thought gloomily.
That was when she woke up.
"*sigh*, why do I get the feeling that normal life has less and less chance of recovery?"
***************************************************************
At that moment, the entire Coliseum startes to shake.
Everyone ran out of their rooms, and looked around in shock as the walls started to glow black, and a sense of.....evil....was everywhere.
In a far off village, Drake and Lara snapped awake, and looked out the window. A large pillar of dark energy was shooting out into the sky.
The pillar was seen by Buster/Roan too, who curled up in an alley, shivering.
A girl in a black jumpsuit smiled from a rooftop, then seemed to vanish in an instant.
And in the Coliseum itself, Helios smiled as he stopped his Eye's flow of power. The Coliseum was now changed, more efficient for his needs. This was where it would all start to end......
***************************************************************
A/N: Honestly, I have NO idea what's wrong with me today. Expect an update soon....hopefully.
Next:NEXT chapter Seto duels Helios. Helios, however, soon changes from his normal methods of taunting toony attacks, to unleashing an onslaught of normally un-createable monsters to wipe Seto out. With stakes raised to the point of death, can the young millionaire hope to survive? But then again, losing may not mean the end after all. Find out what the heck I mean next time, on Fellowship of the Dragoon!
