**Disclaimer** We wish we owned Yu-Gi-Oh

Yu-Gi-Oh Chapter 6
Journey to Ancient Egypt

Seto Kaiba angrily punched a street sign as he and the rest of his current group followed though they weren't in as bad a mood as him. First he had lost his brother Mokuba, failed to rescue him, nearly died, and now had come to find out that a pathetic kid owned a card that rivaled his blue eyes. It was turning out to be a really bad day for him. Yugi stared at the angered teen feeling some what sympathetic for him though his main concern was finding a way to rescue Mokuba. "I wish there were some way to get close to Marik without having to worry about his god card coming to life again."

"Then you should probably find a way to distract him." Yami said talking to Yugi through his mind since the duo shared a special connection. " I'm pretty sure he wont be able to attack us all if we separate from each other."

Yugi smiled now that he had been given some useful advice that would surely come in handy. Joey whom was walking while his sister held on his head not only for comfort, but to also be led in right direction had turned to his friend Tristan. "You don't look so good." He was right Tristan's skin color was becoming green as he began to hold on to his stomach until finally throwing up in a nearby trashcan. "I'm sorry it's just all of this running and flying around is making me sick. I don't think I'll be able to take this much longer." As he finished speaking the young man's legs gave out on him causing him to fall to the ground though Tea and Kraig quickly helped him up. "Maybe we should get you home." He was to weak to argue with his friends so he nodded as Tea helped him home.

"Good one less moron to worry about." Kaiba said as he continued to walk forward ignoring the faces Kraig and Joey were making at him. "Yugi do you have any idea on how we can get to that ship with out being fried by that over grown bird?"

Yugi would have answered Kaiba if it had not been for the fact his eyes were locked on an intense duel in front of him. He had almost forgotten the battle city tournament was still going on. "I'll play the Red-Eyes Black Dragon in attack mode!" Joey's ears twitched as he heard the name of one of his favorite cards and he joined Yugi in watching the duel. It was between a spiky blonde haired male and a taller blonde haired woman who looked oddly familiar to the duo. "Hey that's Mai!" Sure enough it was Mai Valentine in a duel that she was actually losing. Her life points we're down to 2000 and her opponent hadn't been touched yet, but the worst part of it all was her field had been wiped clean the previous turn. "Attack with your magma fireball!"

"No way she's about to lose." Joey said amazed at how a young dueler could be easily defeated a person he barely managed to beat. It was then he noticed Mai had a face down card on the field. "Or maybe not."

Mai was seconds way from smirking only to gasp in shock lightning began to flash in front of the men as they were swallowed by in a tornado. "It's called mystical space typhoon, and with it I can destroy your trap card meaning my Dragon's attack is still headed for you!" As he spoke the woman was hit by the magma fire ball sending Mai to her knees while she began to gasp for air. "Mai are you alright?" Yugi had rushed to her side as soon as he realized she was going to take damage, and thanks to him she didn't fall all the way to the ground since he was keeping her up. "Yugi? T...thanks.."

"It was no problem really." Yugi replied slightly blushing for reasons unknown to him as Mai finally stood up on her own. "I'm just sorry you lost your duel."

The young man who had won the duel took that moment to speak up smiling friendly so that the group could know he meant no harm. "Don't worry we we're only dueling for puzzle cards I don't really enjoy taking away people's rarest cards." After hearing that Yugi smiled happy that the female wouldn't have to give up any of her rare cards. Kaiba didn't really like what was going on considering they should have already been on their way to save his brother. "Yugi we don't have time for any of this remember we have to save Mokuba!" Kraig and Destiny the name given to the Dark Magician girl were both staring at the tall teen a bit agitated by the anger he was showing towards everyone. "I really can't stand that guy! He makes me wish I was back in my card."

"By the way my name is Kevin Hunt..."

Kevin narrowed his eyes as he was shoved out of the way by Kaiba who was now standing directly in front of Yugi. "Hey what did you do that for?" Seto didn't bother to acknowledge the kid's presence and stared straight into the eyes of his one time rival who began to speak. "I know that Kaiba, but Mai is a good friend of mine so I at least had to say hello." Mai felt herself blushing at the fact he considered her a good friend, but was now also interested in what was taking place. "Yugi what's going on? Why do you have to save Mokuba." A cold chill went through Ishizu's body as both her and once she turned around to look for her brother he wasn't anywhere to be found. The young woman looked all around yet couldn't find a trace of him, and was suddenly becoming worried. "Where he could have gone?"

"Something isn't right here..." Yugi said aloud as he to felt a cold chill go through his body. He looked around for the source of the feeling yet couldn't see anything. "I have a feeling Marik may be near. We need to get away from here as soon as possible."

Though they were filled in on what was going on neither Mai or Kevin could have possibly been prepared for what was about to happen. Lightning struck the ground just a few feet away from them creating a small explosion that knocked them off of their feet. "Marik!" Yami was now in control of his shared body and he wasn't pleased to say the least. He looked up into the sky expecting to see Ra yet instead locked eyes with a monster he himself had use often. "The Summoned Skull?" It was an exact real life replica of the monster expect this one wasn't on his side. "Attack with your lightning strike!" Doing as commanded the fiend type monster sent down more lightning bolts narrowly missing Yami and his friends.

"That should provide us enough time to talk don't you think brother?"

Marik and Nick we're face to face in an alleyway not to far from the battle. Though neither one of them liked each other they did know what the other was capable of which is why they weren't attacking each other just yet. "What do you want?" After looking out to see what Reina's Summon Skull was doing he turned back to his brother and smirked. "I want you to join me brother. Together our power would be unmatched. Even the pharaoh wouldn't be able to stand against us." His brother didn't reply instead he turned and watched as his sister's body hit the ground as she barely managed to move out of the way of an incoming thunder bolt. "Ishizu!" Though Ishizu was hurt the female heard her brother's voice clearly, but became shocked as she saw who he was standing next to. "Forget her! Tell me now brother are you going to join me and become of the rulers of this world. Or will you do as our sister has and risk your life so someone else can have all of the power?"

"I..." Nick couldn't speak. He was so upset with himself for the simple fact he was actually considering his brother's offer. His sister closed her eyes knowing what would his answer would be. "I..don't know.."

Marik smirked cruelly knowing the only reason his brother hadn't answered was because of his sister staring at him as if pleading him to say no. "I see. Ishizu is the one keeping you from joining me. I guess we'll just have to fix that then." As he spoke he reached onto his duel disk and pulled out a card his brother knew all to well. "Don't worry I'll take care of her real quick then you can give me your answer." The card exploded with light as the image of Ra started to form above them until the might beast finally took form roaring as Yugi and the others turned to see it. "Not this again!" Yami did the only thing he could he grabbed the hand of Mai and Kevin pulling them out of the way as Joey did the same with his sister. "Everyone get out of here and regroup!"

"Kraig lets leave!" Destiny cried already taking off into the air since she was the Dark Magician girl after all. Kraig resisted her pull and began to take off into a run towards the location of the Dragon's attack. "Kraig!"

Nick stared on in horror as not only the Summoned Skull fired his attack down at Ishizu but Ra had joined in as well the two attacks headed straight down for his sister. "Yes once she's gone you'll have no choice but to join me." Kaiba watched as Kraig headed for the path of the attack. "Obelisk I summon you!" Even he couldn't allow the woman to be harmed no matter what the circumstances. Ishizu was still to weak to move out of the way so all she could do was watch as the two attacks moved towards her. "Don't worry I wont let you die!" To her surprise a shadow was now over her as the large body of Obelisk the Tormenter towered over her shielding her from the attack just long enough for Kraig to move her out of the way.

"What?"

Reina who was sitting on the shoulder of her monster was frightened of the blue god monster that was now towering above her flying creature. "Ra forget about him destroy Ishizu now!" Kaiba growled as the dragon ignored his monster and once again fired an attack off at the young woman and Kraig who was running with her as fast as he could though there was no way he'd be able to escape the blast. "Marik this ends here!" To everyone's surprise Yugi's god card Osiris had once again been brought to life this time it was the one that took on the attack of Ra saving the two of them once again. "Yugi...what's..what's going on here?" Mai and Kevin looked around their eyes wide and their mouths opened from the shock of everything that was happening. "That's it Ra! Kill them all!"

"Hey!" Joey had finally seen both Nick and Marik and although he wanted to give them both a punch to the face he kept he focused his attention on the one he thought was his ally. "What are you doing standing here next to da't guy! He's trying to kill your sister if you haven't noticed or do you not care!?"

Since Joey had a sister of his own who he was holding on to at the moment he was very pissed to see someone let that happen to their own sibling. Marik laughed almost wickedly causing the blonde teen to take a few steps back as another card on his duel disk began to glow. "I think you need to worry about yourself Wheeler. Because I have a special gift just for you, and it's called..." The glow that had began to form on his duel disk as his brother grabbed his hand angrily stopping him from summoning the monster. "Get out of here Joey!" Joey nodded as he quickly pulled his sister out of the alleyway while the two brothers stared at each other. A faint glow escaping a card though neither knew who the card belonged to. "I've made up my mind brother, and I don't think your going to like my answer."

"What on earth is going on?"

Everyone gasped as Marik came running out of the alleyway just in time since seconds later it had became in engulfed in flames. "It's beginning..." The holder of the millennium rod gasped as the voice once again entered his mind as he ran towards Ra hoping to find some shelter. "Yes you've served me well Marik, but I'll take it from here." Yugi watched in awe as a creature rose up above what use to be the alleyway. It was a giant that was for sure just a few inches taller then Obelisk the size was about all they could see since it's features we're covering up the rest of his body except for horns on the side of it's head. Ishizu who was being kept up by both Kraig and Destiny stared up in awe though she knew the monster it was still amazing to see it come to life. "Use your Twin Flame Blades!" The monster roared as the cape that was covering it blew to the side while it reached down to lit up to monstrous swords both of them engulfed in fire.

"Reina get down from there!" Kraig cried out. Even if she was his enemy now he couldn't stand to see an old friend die. "Hurry!"

Reina was to frightened to move out of the way and watched in awe as the creature swung his two swords forward sending a shockwave of fire towards both Ra and her Summoned Skull. Marik's god monster barely moved out of the way causing both attacks to slice through the fiend type monster flames consuming it's entire body while Reina jumped from it. "Reina!" The female only fell a few feet until being caught by Marik's monster. "What's going on here? Why is that monster so powerful Yug?" Yugi turned to his best friend and gave him the answer he didn't really want to hear. "Because it's a god card Joey. I just wonder whose side it's on."

"Marik! Lift up your Millennium Rod now!"

Marik who was shocked at the recent turn of events reached to his side and lifted up the millennium rod into the air and watched as it began to glow in unison with the other millennium items around. Yugi gasped as his puzzle began to shake though he was unaware of a gaping black hole that was forming in the air above them. "You tried to escape from me Pharaoh, but now you and that puzzle of yours will return to me!" As those words echoed through his mind he felt his body lift up into the air being pulled towards the black hole. "Yugi!" Mai and Kevin both tried to grab on to him but soon found themselves being pulled up as well. "Joey...? What's going on?" Serenity had been quiet for most of the time, but now that she felt as if she were flying things were becoming more confusing for her. "I wish I knew sis..I wish I knew..."

"Obelisk hold your ground!" Kaiba demanded as his monster began to float up into the air along with Osiris who was already half way through. After realizing that he would be sucked in as well he closed his eyes knowing he would probably never see his brother again. "I'm sorry Mokuba..."

Ishizu knew what was happening and jumped into the air with the last of her strength while Kraig tried to hold on to anything he could. "Kraig we must go. Our friends need us." Destiny didn't give him time to answer and pulled him away from the street sign he was holding on to causing the two of them to fly into the air. "Marik what's going on!?" After watching Nick and the powerful monster he possessed fly into the black hole the young woman known as Reina was panicking. Marik didn't bother to turn and face her, and instead allowed his body fly into the black hole while whispering something. "Our destiny Reina. Our destiny is what's going on." As his words finally reached her the brown haired beauty was sucked into the hole along with the mighty Ra.

"Oh my god..." Mai whispered to herself as she sat up from what seemed like a long slumber. The blonde woman looked around the area and what she saw shocked her. They were no longer in Domino city in fact they didn't seem to be near any sort of civilization all that she could see was golden sand in every direction. After several minutes passed she suddenly realized where they were. It was more of a guess then anything else, but considering the circumstances she had to be right. "We're in ancient Egypt..."
