The Darkness is reborn....

Person...:Hello, this story may not exactly follow the original plot of Yugioh. This is mainly based on Malik's past, )the way I see it :))

Person...: One more thing, I'm not going to do detailed stuff for each duel...I suck in writing but whatever.

Disclaimer: No profit is made from this story. Entertainment only. I do not own any of these characters, except the mysterious woman, I made her up, her name is Daine. Some monsters I made since I don't know much about the card game. The sayroe brothers are mine too.

Chapter 5: The Dark Hole of Rome

Bakura and Mai were in a tie in the middle stages of the battle. She had just ended her turn by summoning to Amazon Archer on the field. Bakura needed just one more fiend monster in the graveyard to summon his Dark Necrofear, and he drew just that. The easiest way to send in the discard pile was to sacrifice it. "All right, these are my first steps to victory. I use The Ghost of Fled Dreams and the card I have on the field as a tribute to summon Dark Grueler. Now I end my turn."

"Listen sweetheart, the only person who will gain victory is me. I mean I've already won two duels. My point total is 2650. So I'll be doing the winning."

"We'll see, you're a foolish girl to think that."

"Ya ya, now I'll sacrifice my archer and the card I just summon for the Amazon Queen (don't know if this card exists?). It has an attack of 2500, enough to destroy your Grueler. Destroy." Bakura's lifepoints was reduced to 1400.

She fell right into my trap; Bakura smirked knowing this would be it. "All right now by removing three fiend monster out of play I can summon Dark Necrofear. I also lay one card face down, ending my turn."

"That's what you've been waiting for, it's still weak. I attack your monster." Mai mocked him.

"Ha, you got in over yourself. For I activate my trap. During the turn this trap is activated, the lifepoints I should've lost is gained. So now my points is 1700. Also, since you destroyed my Necrofear, I can control one monster on the field. I choose your Amazon Queen."

"Oh no!"

"Now I do direct damage!" Mai fell on her knees as slowly her lifepoints faded away.

"Here have my Queen."

"Thank you." Bakura walked away and felt no sympathy at all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Though Malik had just won his second battle, he was still disappointed that it did take him a lot of time. He only gained 150 points. He decided to just ride his bike until he could calm down. "Malik, so how are you fairing in your duels?" It was Bakura.

"I do have 2150 points, but I'm still angry."

"Don't be such a fucking whiner."

"Shut up, you wouldn't understand."

"Probably, listen I want to relax. You should calm yourself in the bar, that's where I'm going."

"Here I'll give you a ride." This time they rode the bike with their helmets on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When they had reached there they spotted one of the Sayroe brothers taunting a lady trying to push him away. Bakura tapped him on the back. It was Zorne. "Excuse me, but if the lady doesn't want you then I suggest you move away." Bakura threatened.

"What will you do." The host wasn't one bit afraid.

"Then he and I will have to deal with you." Malik jumped in this controversy.

"I mean no harm, I will go." Now Zorne was frightened and so he left the bar.

"Are you all right?" Bakura asked the woman with her head down in her arms.

She looked up, and both Malik and Bakura gave a slight blush, "Thank you, I am all right."

"What's your name?" Bakura seemed to do all the talking since he was less shy than his friend was.

"Daine, listen thanks for that, he's been chasing me for like forever."

"Well I'm Bakura, he's Malik. So why has he been 'chasing you'?" He quoted what she had just said.

"I don't know, he's obsessed with me for some reason, I'm kind of afraid."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Yugi was scared to battle, he felt that he had lost too many. What if there was something more at stake than just my god card, Yugi worried. Joey went off to gain more points. Yugi thought about battling since his points was only 1100, but he was so out of it. Téa rested her hands on her friend's shoulder. "Don't worry Yugi, you'll do better next time."

"No Téa, I've lost two of my god cards, how can I?"

"Yugi," Téa became a bit frustrated, "you saved the world without them, why can't you duel for fun without them?"

Yugi was silent for a second then smiled, "Téa I'm glad you're by my side thank you."

When they walked around for to find someone to duel, nobody was there. They were over a thousand duelists. Now it seemed like they were none. "Where is everyone?" Téa looked around.

"I don't know. May be they all went on the other side of the city." As soon as Yugi said this he felt something dark nearby. He ran to it with Téa following. "What is it Yugi?"

"I sense something." When they stopped they saw a dark hole in the middle Battle City Park. They began to run to it. Yugi could some how here cries of people; the closer he got to the hole, the louder. When they were standing in front of the object Yugi became confused, "This darkness, it's something like the shadow realm but it's not the same. It doesn't even feel like something made by the Egyptians." Then from the dark hole came out a hand and seized Yugi and started to pull him in. "Oh no Yugi!" Téa reached for his hand and pulled as hard as she could.

"Téa, please help me." She then took a deep breath and pulled even harder. The magnetism of the hole was immensely powerful. Then suddenly it stopped. Yugi landed on his chest and Téa fell on her bottom. Yugi looked up. It was Zorne of the Sayroe brothers. "What was that?"

"Nothing, don't interfere with it." Zorne quickly responded.

Yugi changed into Yami and Yami was furious, "What is going on Zorne?"

"I am collecting duelists so this Dark hole gains enough power for it take over the world."

"Why, you will die with it."

"Oh no, it's purpose is not to end humanity, but to plague the world in darkness."

"What's the reason to this."

"Because the world belongs to the Romans! If it weren't for you Egyptians we could've taken the world."

"I don't understand."

"At the time where Egyptians, the Chinese and Romans ruled the world, a Great War began against the two European countries. China was left alone. The battle went nowhere. This benefited the land of pyramids, but it made the Romans furious!"

"So now the Roman sorcerers and high ranked people of Rome want to take over the world?"

"Yes, this time I'll let you go. For now Romans are thirsty for the blood of the Egyptian Pharaoh's including you Yami."

"What about this hole?"

"It is the Roman version of the Shadow realm." Zorne walked away.

"But..!" Yami didn't try to call him back.

Téa began to worry, "Oh no Yug what's going on?"

I don't know, but this must be the evil I have been sensing."

"What did he mean by all the pharaohs. I thought you were the only one?"

"I did too, but it seems that I was the last one and they were many more before me."

"Yugi let's go to the hotel, it's getting dark and tomorrow is the last day to qualify."

"Good idea."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why don't both of you take a cup? It's really good. Bakura waived his glass of beer at both Malik and Daine.

"Go away. Plus I'm too young, though you are too." Malik slapped the drunken man's hand.

"Actually, I am a robber now and I am 3000 years old."

"What?" Daine looked a bit shocked.

Malik knew this would be hard to explain to someone who had no idea about Egypt, or so he thought, "Uhh. Ignore him he's drunk."

"Are you from Egypt, both of you I mean."

He knew there was no way out, "Yes…"

"Wow, so am I."

"Really?"

"So what are you doing all the way here?"

"I don't know, I just got some invitation."

"Oh." Though it was her who gave him the invitation she didn't remember. At least not the side that was talking to him.

"About you, I mean what are you doing here?"

"I don't really know, all I know is that I went to a lot of trouble to bring people here."

"Have you been in Egypt recently?" Malik wanted to know more about Daine, he became a little attached to her. Even though Yami Malik would pull his hikari away, he also felt the way his light did.

"Not for awhile. When I lived there many strange things happened. I lost everything, my parents, my home, everything I loved. Then I found something, and when I touched it, I suddenly had all these flashes in my mind. About Egypt, then I saw me being offered something. It was some type of creature. Before that I saw this war, against the Romans or something. Then there was a monster, a golden monster fighting against the monster that I had been offered with when there was peace. One of the monster that battled in this war looked something like this card I have." She held up a card. The monster's beak and body was like diamond. Its wings were too, its limbs were silver and it had a lion like tail and body. It looked a lot like a Griffin. Half Lion, half Eagle.

"What is it called?" Malik was amazed at how the card resembled Ra's. Not the monster, but the actually design.

"The Crystal beast of Myth, Ramsaun."

"I have this card, this is golden and it's a dragon. The Winged Dragon of Ra."

"My father thought me about that card. He said that its powers were divided and was inserted in other two gods."

"What? Why would Yami create it than separated."

"This card was created by the first pharaoh and separated by the last. He did it because it was overwhelmingly powerful."

"And what's the Romans got to do with this."

"Egypt wasn't the only great empire at the time. Rome and China was as well."

"Anything else."

"Every since I had this relic, I felt a mysterious essence inside of me. I also feel that I needed to do something with it. I don't know what though. That's all I know really."

"How do you know all this."

"I lived in Egypt for almost 15 years, I was surrounded holographic of Egypt's past."

"I was too. It only told of one Pharaoh."

"Well in the North side it told about the last Pharaoh's life, Yami, in the East you could learn of Fudah Ramsin one of the great pharaoh's of Egypt. In west near Nile you can learn about the only Queen to rule Egypt Cleopatra. In the South you can learn of the first Pharaoh, Ishtar I believe was his last name. In the center of Egypt was stories of the other Pharaohs."

"Ishtar? What a coincidence. That's my last name." Malik said in shock.

"Wow cool."

"Where are you from?"

"The South west."

"I must be from the North, because the only pharaoh I leaned about was Yami."

"Hmm."

"It's getting late, I should go back to hotel. Do you have a room there?"

"I do."

"Ride?"

"What about your friend?"

"We'll find a way." Malik smiled.

All three rode back home. Malik drove, Daine sat behind him. As for Bakura he was just laying there, very close to wheel, but they were home anyway.
