The Egyption God Card, Ra

Ishizu Ishtar stood atop of a building in Domino City staring down at the many duelist though only there was only one she seemed to be interested in. "....Yami..." Down below stood Yami Yugi on his knees in exhaustion after going through one of his most challenging duels barely escaping defeat while Kaiba and his brother watched close by.. Mokuba whom was amazed by the amazing duel he had just witnessed handed the dueler his prize which was the Saint Dragon, God of Osiris. The rare Egyptian god card which would lead him to his destiny. Kaiba stared on with a small smirk on his face already putting together a plan to defeat his foe once they began their duel. Still watching all of this the woman frowned knowing that even after all the duo of Yami and Yugi have been through it was nothing compared to what was to come.

"Marik will not stand for this loss." She said to herself while removing her veil from her face to get a better glimpse of the duelers beneath her. "And if the duel against the puppet took Yugi to his limits then I surely doubt he'll be able to defeat my brother as he is now..."

The item around her neck glowed brightly as more images of the future filled her mind and like always she frowned in displeasure. "I know I'm not to interfere with the events that are taking place..but I must warn the pharaoh." Her blue eyes narrowed fiercely as the sound of footsteps could be heard behind her. "What do you want?" The footsteps stopped as her hiss seemed to reach whoever it was behind her. "Master Marik has offered you a chance to join him." Ishizu turned to face a rather large male probably in his early twenties his face that once had life seconds before now held a blank expression as the female in front of him gasped. "Marik!" A sickening laugh escaped the man's mouth though he still held the same blank look which would freak out anyone else except she had grown accustomed to this.

"Hello sister it took me a while to find you." The man spoke obviously in a different tone then before. He walked closer to the female until he was only inches away from her. "I'm only here for one thing and that is to offer you a place at my side as I destroy the pharaoh and take over this world."

Ishizu started up at the man with a scowl while taking a few steps backward not knowing she was reaching the edge of the building. "I would never betray are family's heritage and turn against the pharaoh! You know it's our duty to look after him not destroy him!" The possessed man snarled as he flung his two large arms forward both of them making contact with the female and wrapping around her neck. "Yugi trusts you dear sister which means that if you were to join my side my quest for the millennium puzzle would be far more simpler. Plus the fact that you possess that future- telling necklace means that I'll always be a step ahead of my enemies." The man's grip around her neck tightened as she began to gasp for air. "So let me rephrase what I just said. Your going to join me weather you like it or not!"

"I won't do it!" She coughed struggling to break free of the man's grip before he could strangle anymore. Luckily she managed to break free of his hold landing on her knees. "I don't care what you do to me but I swear I will not let any harm come to the pharaoh so go ahead and kill me!"

A sickening laugh escaped the mouth of the possessed man as he took a few steps backward. "There are other ways to get you to join me sister so killing you is out of the question. For now." The large man began to fall to his knees as the effects of Marik's millennium rod began to wear off. "I'll be seeing you again real soon sis." Those were the last words spoken as the man finally collapsed onto the ground while a shocked Ishizu quickly hurried to the building's stairs not wanting to stay around any longer. Elsewhere Marik whom had just lost his second god card and the chance of forcing his sister to join him grinned as if none of that had ever happened.

"Yugi may have taken Osiris away from me but I still possess the strongest god card of all, and soon this battle city tournament will be a thing of the past.." Marik grinned as he stared at the city he would be reaching in just a few hours. "But before my plans can take shape I must have that puzzle!"

Marik stared at his millennium rod with a look of confusion as it began to float out of his hand and turn so that it's eye was facing him. "I sense a great evil in you young Marik. An evil that I could greatly use." The shadow of a large man loomed over the male as he stared up in fear. "Who...who are you?" A laugh filled the room as if it were coming from all directions though the young man's eyes were still fixated on the image in front of him, then it spoke disregarding what was just said. "Marik Ishtar if you truly wish to destroy the pharaoh then you will do as I say." Now it was his turn to laugh at the thought of him following someone's orders. "I don't know who you are, but I don't follow anyone's orders." The millennium rod began to convulse while burning with a strange black light that shot into the eyes of the young man.

"I never said you had a choice."

After a few moments of silence the young man stood back up this time his cream colored hair was spiky with the mark of the millennium eye printed on his forehead and a sinister look in his now large purple eyes. Marik grabbed the glowing rod as his sickening grin reappeared on his face. "Just you wait Yugi soon everyone you love and care about will be my mind slaves! Then you'll have no choice but to hand over that puzzle if you value their lives." Ishizu gasped from her position against a fence in one of the city's neighborhoods her golden necklace burning her skin as it glowed with dark light shocking her. It was the first time it had ever glowed that color, and now she knew something was wrong. A few moments passed before the images of the future played in her mind forcing the young woman down to her knees in complete disbelief. "It..can't be..."

"I must warn Yami at once!" She cried pulling herself up while wiping away the tears that had recently formed. Ishizu had seen many things since gaining the millennium necklace, but none were as horrific as the premonition she had just received. "If I don't get to him soon all will be lost..."

Yami Yugi pulled himself to his feet his two friends Kraig and Reina beside him both looking over at Kaiba waiting to see if he would do anything. The duo of teenagers had arrived just in time to see the end of his battle against Marik's puppet both of them shocked that he was actually able to defeat the Egyptian god card. "I have to get to my friends their in danger!" The blonde dueler took a few steps forward only to be stopped by the former duel monster champion. "Not so fast Yugi, we have a score to settle!" A growl escaped the teen's lips as he stared up at anger knowing that he didn't have any time to waste if he was to make it to his friends in time. "I'll duel you Kaiba, but after I find my friends!" His two new friends stepped in front of him to end the conversation forcing the eldest of them all to growl and reach into his pocket where he found his cellular phone.

"Fine have it your way.' Kaiba replied punching a few buttons on the phone and talking to someone on the other end. After a few seconds of speaking to the person on the phone he turned back to Yugi with a grin. "But I'll be going with you to make sure you keep your word. A helicopter is on it's way to find us it'll be much easier if we search by air."

Yugi and his two comrades smiled in unison at the kind act by the young man. "Thank you Kaiba." His reply was a snort but his younger brother Mokuba knew it was his way of saying your welcome. As the group waited for the helicopter Joey Wheeler was busy staring at his puzzle cards with a smirk on his face. His smirk however faded as someone bumped into him forcing the blonde to drop the items he carried. "Hey! watch we're your going!" He felt his eyes widen as they made contact with the one responsible for knocking him down. Two men both just a few inches taller then him were wrapped in robes he knew all to well. "Your..dressed like those guys who took my red eyes!" Without a word the two robed men swiped the four puzzle cards off the ground. "Hey give those backs ya punks!"

"Oh we'll give them back to you kid, but on one condition." The first of the duo replied with a chuckle causing Joey to narrow his eyes to in anger. "And that is for you to duel me and my partner."

Joey raised his eyebrow at the thought of dueling two people at once, but he hadn't a choice if he was to get his puzzle cards back. "Fine I accept!" The two of them grinned knowing it was impossible for him to defeat the two of them even if he was the runner up in duelist kingdom. Before the three of them could start their duel disks up a pair of footsteps caught their attention since they were currently in an alley way. "I don't a two on one battle is fair. Especially when it's two of Marik's goons against this nobody." A young man with short spiky cream colored haired stood at the alley's exit with an arrogant smirk on his face while the blonde in front of him growled in anger. "Who are ya calling a nobody pal!? I'll have you know I finished second in the duelist kingdom tournament!"

"Like I was saying why don't the two of you duel me. I'm a way better challenge then that guy over there." He spoke ignoring what was just said by Joey. He walked closer to the three of them while placing his cards into the duel disk on his arm. "And if you guys win I'll give you my entire deck, but if you happen to lose you'll have to give me the location of Marik."

One of the robbed men snickered as he got a good glimpse of the young man who had recently arrived. His resemblance was clear as day it was definitely the brother of Marik. "It must be our lucky day. The boss wanted us to bring you in so I'll tell you what. We'll duel the two of you at once, and if you win then we'll give you back your puzzle cards plus tell you the location of your brother. That sound good?" Though Joey was irritated by the disrespect he was getting from the newcomer he nodded his head. "That sounds fine to me!" The person whom now stood a few inches away from him simply grunted while his duel disk activated.

"Fine let me clear something up first. The two of you will share 4000 life points." One of them said as Joey and Nick glared at each other. "My partner and I will share life points as well. So let's begin."

Nick smirked as he drew his five cards and started to speak. "Since I'm felling generous I'll allow you guys to go first." Joey's eyes widened at his partner's actions. "What are you nuts!? Why would you let them go first?" The first of their opponent's began playing before he had a chance to speak. "I'll place two cards face down, and place a monster in defense mode." As he spoke the holographic images of the cards appeared in front of him. "Now I believe it's one of your turns." Seeing that it was his turn Joey grinned and placed three cards down on the field watching as the holographic images took shape into a trio of weapon wielding Goblins appeared in front of him as well as two face down cards behind them. "I play Goblin Attack force in attack mode, and I'll end my turn."

"Goblin Attack Force that's a pretty strong level four monster." They spoke through clenched teeth since their master hadn't really given them a deck with any useful cards. They were only sent out to test the two of them for a later purpose. "Once he attacks his monster will switch to defense mode leaving it with a defense of 0. That'll be when I make my move."

The second of the robed men placed one card face down on the field and hoping to trick Joey into attacking him. "I end my turn." Joey watched his partner out of the corner of his eyes wondering exactly what kind of card he would play. "First I'll play two face down cards on the field. Then I'll summon the Spear Dragon in Attack mode!" The air in front of him began to glow with light as the image of a blue winged dragon appeared in front of him. It had a long nose which was shaped like spear as it's name suggested as well as having two horns on the back of it's head. "Now attack his face down monster!" Spear Dragon roared while furiously flapping it's wings propelling it straight into the face down card in which it turn open with it's spear like nose. A second later he watched as the image of the card exploded with light meaning that the monster didn't have enough defense to withstand the attack. "Your move."

"Now that you've attacked your monster is switched to defense mode." The man laughed as he watched the dragon switched it's self to defense mode. "And with an defense of 0 it stands no chance of surviving. I'll play Harpie's Brother in attack mode and raise it's power by 500 with the sword of the deep seated."

The monster appeared on the field carrying a large purple sword in it's hands. "Now attack his dragon!" Before it could begin it's attack the ground beneath the monster opened up causing it to fall in. Joey smirked as one of his face down cards flipped up so that his opponents and partner could see it. "I just activated trap hole which destroys your monster." The two men growled while his partner smirked. "I end my turn." Knowing that it was his turn the runner up at duelist kingdom grinned wanting to prove how good he was. "I'll play the Seven Colored Fish in attack mode!" A large multicolored snake appeared on the field next to the Goblins'. One of the two men smirked knowing he was going to attack him. "I'll have them both attack!" The four monsters rushed forward preparing to attack when one of them turned over a card. "And I activate mirror force!"

"And I'll counter with Mystical Space Typhoon." Nick yelled as he flipped one of his face down cards up sending a gust of dark wind towards the energy for the mirror force sending it right back at the card it had came out of destroying it. The man growled as he felt the full force of Joey's attack. "And it looks like you've just lose this duel."

Joey cheered in celebration as he watched their life points reach 0 in what had to be one of the easiest duels of his life. The two robed men were on their backs after feeling the full assault of the attacks. He carefully walked over to them and took back his puzzle cards while Nick crouched down to one of them in an attempt to speak to them. "Now tell me, where is Marik?" Neither of them spoke causing him to grab one of them and shake him repeatedly. "Tell me where he is!" Still neither one spoke angering him more to a point where he was seconds away from punching him only to be stopped by Joey. "Hey cut that out. No need to resort to violence."

"He's right brother. Violence will get you no where in life." A voice spoke from behind them. They turned to see one of the men standing up again only his eyes weren't open and he had the symbol of the millennium eye on his forehead. The strangest thing though was that the voice was now very much different. "You always were the violent one of the family. You know I could use someone like you on my side. What do you say?"

Joey had seen this before. A person suddenly being taken control of, but he still wasn't use to it. Nick clenched his fists in anger before slowly calming down. "I'd never join you. Not even if my life depended on it." Marik laughed in a tone that caused the hair on the back of both teen's necks to stand upright. "Well what a coincidence. It just so happens that not only your life depends on it, but the life of the boy behind you, the lives of his friends, his sister, and oh yeah the life of our sister as well." The two stared at the possessed man with widened eyes. "You wouldn't dare harm our sister Marik!" A grin appeared on the teen's face as his eyes glowed red from his position on his shape though the two of them wouldn't know it since they could only see the person he controlled.

"Oh but I would brother. Her life means nothing to me anymore I'd gladly kill her if it meant obtaining her millennium necklace." He replied seeing his brother's angered expression. Joey was angered as well but at the fact he had just heard his friends were in danger. "I like a good challenge though so before I take the two of you I'll play a little game. It's called how fast can you get to the two people you care about. Four of my puppets are going after both of your sisters. If you can make it to them both in time I'll spare them, but if you don't then well it wont be pretty."

The two teens looked at each other in silence the look of determination and hope fading quickly as Marik continued to speak barely able to contain his laughter. "I'm giving the two of you one hour to search for them, but I promise you if you don't find them by then their lives will be over." The alleyway was filled with the insane laughter of the teen before the man he possessed fell to the ground. Joey took one last look at the dueler he had just partnered with and quickly took off into a sprint towards the hospital hoping to get to his sister in time. Nick did the same running as fast as he could though he had no idea where to find his sister at.

"Those fools actually thinking I'd give them a chance to find their loved ones." Marik laughed as he saw the world through his puppet's eyes. They were just minutes away from arriving at the two locations of the two females he was after. He'd have them in his clutches before either Joey or Nick made it half way to them. His eyes glowed an eery red color as he held on to a shining card that began to glow the same color. "I've had just about enough of this battle City tournament. It's about time for the real games to begin."

The helicopter carrying Yugi landed safely in the middle of Domino City where he had spotted Tea running from a group of rare hunters. He quickly jumped out of the machine while Kaiba and the others quickly followed him. "Tea!" The female turned her head just in time to see her friend running towards her. The robed men stopped their run and instead turned the other away as the glimpsed at Kaiba and Reina whose fists were balled up in anger. Though she was a girl the look in her eyes showed them that she was dangerous. "Tea why were these guys chasing you?" He waited patiently for the panting girl to speak since she was obviously exhuasted from all of the running.

"I-I don't know.." She answered staring up at the young man who was now holding on to her so that she could remain standing. "They just said mumbled something about someone named master Marik, and started to chase me."

Yami Yugi growled at the name of the teen who was after his millennium puzzle. He was about to speak when a ear-piercing roar was heard above them. "What on earth...?" Kraig stared up in bewilderment as a large golden creature flew over them flapping it's large wings strongly causing the people below to slide across the ground from the strong winds. Kaiba felt his younger brother grab his hand in fear, and rightfully so the creature that now hovered above him was noneother then the Winged Dragon of Ra. People from all over the city watched in amazement at the sight of the magnificent creature that floated above them all. "Wow I didn't know the duel disks could display this kind of an image!" Yami stared up at the creature then turned to his friend Kraig with a stern look on his face. "I want you to take Reina and get away from here." Turning to face his friend he quickly shook his head. "What? Why?" Keeping his stern expression he pointed up at the dragon that seemed to be examining them all as if it had a mind of it's own.

"That's not a holographic image!" Yami shouted loud enough for everyone around him to hear even though the beast above them was still roaring. A few short seconds later it stared down at them with a strange look as light began to form on the sides of it's large mouth. "That's the real thing!"

Kraig's mouth hung open as he heard the blonde's voice. The thought of the beast above him being real was far more imaginable then anything he could have ever thought of. Kaiba on the other hand turned to look up at the beast then back at his young brother Mokuba with a look of worry. "We need to get out of here Mokuba." Mokuba's blue eyes became filled with fear as he watched the dragon roar once more though this time a strange golden ball of fire flew from it's mouth headed straight for the helicopter they had just gotten out of. Reina stood still not expecting anything to happen but Yami quickly pushed her down as well as Kraig just seconds before the ball of flames slammed down into the helicopter creating a small explosion that sent rubble and debris in every direction.

"Hello Pharaoh." A voice full of evil spoke though Yami could barely hear through the ringing in his ears. He looked around seeing that everyone was now on the ground some of them even unconscious from the blast. A few feet away from them a figure walked even through the fires holding onto a glowing golden staff of some sort. It wasn't until he stood got a few inches closer that Yugi recognized him and gasped. "I've come for my puzzle."
