**Disclaimer** I hate these things, but anyways we do not own Yu-Gi-Oh

Yu-Gi-Oh! Chapter 11
Separation

Yugi looked up into the air in desperation knowing he and the others would have to create a diversion to have any hopes of saving Kaiba's life. Kraig stood beside the blonde teen eager to help him in any way he could both of them starting to take a single card out of their respective decks, but before that happened they found themselves falling to the ground. Ra had forcefully landed creating a shockwave that had knocked them all of their feet. Marik was the first to get off of the golden beast followed by Reina. The third person stayed on the dragon as it began to step towards the former holder of the millennium puzzle, and the current owner of Osiris.

"Little Yugi Motou I've heard so much about you." He spoke as the dragon stopped just a few feet away from everyone. The person speaking looked to be a little older then Yugi himself. His skin was nicely tanned and his body was covered in Egyptian style clothing. "Now would you please hand over the monster you possess?"

Yugi pulled himself up ignoring the man and turning around to face Nick who was also getting back on his feet. "Hurry and help Kaiba!" He nodded his head quickly once again gripping his millennium item and rushing towards the fallen teen. Ishizu whom was still in tears was by Kaiba's side his head now resting in her lap as he barely breathed. Marik looked up to his current boss who was angered at the fact he had been ignored. "Stop him at any cost! Kaiba must not be healed!" A smirk crept onto the faces of both Reina and the male beside her. The two of them both pulling out two monsters that would help them in stopping the man from healing anyone. Since they weren't in any duel they didn't have to tribute anything to summon the two powerful monsters that we're staring to form in front of them.

"Hurry Nick!" Kraig shouted from beside Yugi as he watched two Summoned Skulls form in front of both Marik and Reina the two monsters flying straight past them and headed for both Nick and Kaiba. "Watch out!"

Kraig gasped as energy crashed into the sides of the two beasts stopping them momentarily and causing them to turn to their attacker. "Destiny!" The female smiled glad that she was able to distract the monsters even if it was only for a few seconds. It took a moment for them to regain their flight and continue to fly towards their targets. "Your finished brother!" Marik's eyes widened with glee as the two monsters began to prepare their lightning strike attacks. "White Lightning!" One of the two summoned skulls were vaporized by a large bolt of white energy that came from Kevin's Blue-Eyes white dragon. "Dang it I wont be able to stop the other one in time!"

"Kill them Summoned Skull!" Reina shouted as her monster was getting closer to Nick who was doing his best to make it over to Kaiba. "Don't let either of them survive!"

Ishizu watched as the monster neared them it was only four to five feet away from her brother who was still walking towards her not bothering to turn around. "Get out of the way!" The Summoned Skull roared demonically drooling as it did so it's large claws just inches away from the young man's body. In several seconds his first victim would be gone. Reina's dark grin began to fade as she watched the bluish color of the sword change to that of red. Nick swung the sword around making contact with the powerful fiend behind him causing it to vanish without a trace. "..No..No way!" Marik cursed as he watched the last monster be destroyed giving his brother a chance to make it to the injured Kaiba.

"Seems like I'll have to do everything myself." Anubis the man standing atop Ra growled as he reached for a card in his hand this one already glowing before he even laid hands on it. "Arise Gate Guardian!"

Destiny who had been sneaking up on the Egyptian man gasped as the large creature appeared right before her eyes. It was turned around and facing her instead of everyone else. "I hope you didn't think you were going to sneak up on me." The former dark magician girl found her self floating backwards in fear as the large beast slowly started to walk towards her all three of it's heads glowing with elemental light. "Destroy her now!" Gate Guardian shot forth a beam of that was a combination of fire, water, and electricity that was headed straight for the defenseless woman. "I don't think so Pal!" To the surprise of Anubis the attack of his monster was absorbed by a strange cylinder one that he knew all to well. "Now send his attack right back at him Dark Magician!"

"Kevin..has a Dark Magician too...?"

Yugi watched as Kevin came to the aid of Destiny having his Dark Magician use the trap card magic cylinder which not only absorbed the Gate Guardian's attack, but sent it right back at him. The attack crashed straight into the beast destroying it on impact causing Anubis to growl in anger. "Who are you!? How did you know my name!?" The Egyptian turned to face the former holder of the millennium puzzle and grinned. "I know everything about you little Yugi, but if you must know I guess I'll just have to introduce myself. "I am Anubis, the new ruler of Egypt, and soon the world! HA!HA!HA!" The two stared into each other's eyes one filled with innocence the other nothing but pure evil. "I wont let you get away with this!"

"Ah, but I already have Yugi! You see without your precious millennium puzzle you lack the power to stand against me and my minions!" Anubis replied never losing his dark grin which was unnerving to Mai and Serenity who we're listening in on the conversation. "Now hand over your god card and I might spare your lives!"

Anubis looked on as the young boy took a few steps forward towards Ra his eyes now filled with determination. "I'll never give you my Egyptian god card! Your going to have to kill me first!" Everyone looked at Yugi in surprise that he had stood up to the person on what many believed to be the strongest god card of them all. "Then so be it! If you wont give it to me I'll just have to take your life!" Ra began to open it's mouth as a ball of fire began to form within it though the young teen didn't move an inch. "Yugi!" Kevin stood beside his friend shocking everyone including the teen who was about to attack one of his newest friends. "if you're going to kill him ,then you're gonna have to go through me first!" As the young blonde spoke Anubis was steadily reaching into his deck pulling put cards that had strange Egyptian letters on them. "Kevin..no don't do this! I don't want you to get hurt!"

"I know Yugi but your my friend. You've helped me when I was hurt, and now it's about time that I pay you back." Kevin replied never leaving his side while staring straight into the eyes of his current knew enemy. "So Anubis your going to have to deal with me as well!"

Kevin shivered for a moment as the piercing eyes of Anubis who was holding on to three strange cards while still searching for more. "HA!HA!HA! Foolish child! How dare you talk to me like that? I will crush you as and now you shall join Yugi in death as well!" Yugi couldn't believe the bravery of his friend yet became even more shocked as he saw that his other friends had joined his side. "Well if your gonna kill them you might as well kill all of us!" Mai winked at the younger teen who slightly blushed despite the fact he was facing certain death. Ishizu looked at them all in worry this was something she hadn't predicted and her brother had barely started to heal Kaiba. The white light from the sword was slowly beginning to heal the young man while also taking the life energy out of her brother who was starting to fall to his knees.

"Nick stop that now you'll lose your life if you heal him anymore." Ishizu cried forcefully pulling her brother away from Kaiba who hadn't been fully healed. "This will have to do for now. Most of his serious wounds seem to be gone."

Anubis grinned as he had finally found the last two cards he was looking for turning to face Yugi and all of his friends. "This is it! Yugi prepare to die!" Each of the five cards began to glow with intense light that forced the teens to shield their eyes while waiting for five creatures to appear. What happened next caused Yugi's eyes to widen in shock since the first thing that materialized was two large arms one on the left the other on the right. Those arms we're so familiar to him that it didn't take him more then a second to figure out what was going on. "Oh..no.." Seconds later two large legs appeared below the two arms and now the only thing that was left was something Yugi feared. "Exodia rise and destroy my foes!" Exodia the forbidden one formed in front of everyone it's massive body sending chills through each and everyone of their spines.

"Everyone get out of here!"

Those were the last words Yugi managed to scream before his mind slipped into unconsciousness from the massive monster's attack. It took nearly half an hour for all of the smoke and dust to settle and once everything was finally clear Anubis looked around in confusion. "Where did they all go!?" Several hours later Mai Valentine slowly opened her eyes to survey her location noticing it was still ancient Egypt only now there were less of them. It seemed that Joey, Kaiba, Ishizu, Kraig and Destiny we're all missing, but she was sure they'd turn up eventually. After all Yugi and Kevin we're barely visible due to all of the sand that was covering them.

"Yugi are you okay?" Mai asked the young man who she helped to his feet. He nodded slightly as he looked around trying to figure out where they were. "I don't know where we are either. It looks like that monster's attack must have sent us flying pretty far. Lucky this sand broke our fall."

Yugi nodded in agreement to her statement as he helped Kevin up to his feet laughing as the shook his head trying to get all of the sand out. "Yugi shouldn't we go look for the others?" He nodded in agreement beginning to slowly walk across the sand that was becoming cool due to the fact the it was almost nightfall. Not to far away from them sat Serenity who was desperately searching for her older brother who wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Joey!" Mai frowned as she heard the young woman yell out of brothers name while crying. Anubis had really gotten them good. Not only had Exodia's attack sent them flying away from the town, but it had also separated them from each other. That is if the others were even alive.

"Don't worry Serenity we'll help you find Joey." Yugi said reassuringly as they finally reached her. It took them a moment to calm her down, but finally she agreed to follow them. "I just hope we can find everyone before Anubis does."

The group of four began to head north of their location hoping to find more of their friends, and after walking for nearly an hour they came upon a small campfire. It was near a patch of trees and a small pond almost as if it we're some sort of an oasis. "I was wondering when anyone would find this place." Yugi smiled as he saw Nick sitting next to the fire in which he quickly sat by deciding it was better to stay put since it was getting to dark to travel. "Did you find any of the others?" He shook his head sadly. "No I haven't and since my sister doesn't have her millennium necklace anymore I wont be able to find her." Yugi and the others lowered their heads at that bit of information.

"Oh don't worry about finding your friends Yugi!" Everyone looked up into the sky to see not only Ra but Exodia staring down at them while Anubis stood atop of the dragon's head. "Because they'll be joining you soon. In the afterlife!"
