Chapter 7: The Rage within
"Well done for the people who qualified in the quarter finals." Zorne congratulated.
"For your reward you can relax yourself in Battle City's exclusive pool. We want you people to get to know each other."
"Let me repeat the ones who made it. Yugi Motou, Joey Wheeler, Ryou Bakura, Isis Ishtar, Rishid Ishtar, Daine Rahid, Seto Kaiba and Malik Ishtar. The match ups will be determined tomorrow. Remember this, if you do not appear for any reasons you shall be disqualified, no exceptions."
"Go ahead and relax. This pool is open 24/7. You must go there or you will be kicked out of the tournament. Also this tournament has a lot of unexpected twists, even some that we are not aware of. Enjoy."
"May be we should go now guys, it's getting kind of late." Téa suggested when the whole gang had reunited.
"Yah, Yug I wanna plan my cards out tonight. You know think of a strategy." Joey informed.
"Hmm, your right. Let's meet after we get our stuff." They all went together and separated as they reached their hotel. It was about 7:30 PM.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Yugi and the gang reached there they had found that they weren't the only ones swimming at this moment. They saw Isis, Seto and Mokuba. "Greetings pharaoh." Isis welcomed. Seto just turned is head away arrogantly from Yugi but Mokua said, "Hey guys, long time no see."
"Yah this is a good time to catch up with what's going on." Yugi agreed. They all continued their little conversation. They were just having fun, for the first time in this tournament. "It's getting late I think it's time to go brother." Seto looked at his watch.
"Okay bro."
"I agree it is getting late. It's about 9:30 right now. We better go guys." Yugi got out of the pool as the rest of them followed. "Aren't you leaving Isis?"
"Oh no, I'm waiting for my brother."
"All right, see you tomorrow." She laid there in the hot tub, relaxed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was about 9:45, Isis was the only one in the building. Almost asleep, she wasn't aware of the hot tub slowly draining. When she finally opened her eyes she realized that she was falling in a tunnel...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I guess we're alone." Malik peeped in the swimming pool.
"Well it's better that way." Bakura walked out the change room.
"C'mon Rishid, let's go. You don't want to be kicked out." Malik persuaded his loyal friend.
"I'm not..."
"Just come." Malik held his hand and then pushed him into the water. "Ha ha!" This was kind of the first time Malik and Rishid had been in a swimming pool. Since there were none in Egypt, especially underground where they had grown up. Bakura realizing this decided to show off a little. He swam back and forth showing his dominant skills in swimming.
"You're good Bakura." It was Daine. She jumped into the pool and swam to the side Bakura rested. "Care to have a race, as soon as you catch your breath."
"Not at all. Malik could you do the honours [I'm Canadian I spell Canadian]." Malik looked at him a bit confused, "You know start the race."
"All right. Get set," Daine and Bakura prepared, "Go!" They both pushed themselves forward, and began to swim as fast and as hard as they could. The race was very close, at times Bakura would be in the lead. Then Daine, anyone could win. "Ittt's Daine, she wins." Malik announced.
Bakura couldn't believe he lost, "You're lying!" He galloped on top of Malik as he drowned him. Rishid didn't know if this was a joke or was it serious. "Excuse me."
Malik hopped out of the water to catch his breath, "It's okay Rishid." He looked at the ancient robber, "You'll pay for that!" He aimed for his neck.
Daine giggled, amused at their immaturity, "All right boys stop, just relax for now."
Bakura agreed, "Let's rest in the tub." Daine walked off the pool and headed to the steaming water as the rest of them followed.
Malik was curious of how Daine learned how to swim so well, "Where did you learn how to swim like that? I mean in Egypt there is nothing like a 'pool' there."
"Well, I lived close to a river bed, you know Nile."
"Oh I see. Wow, the Ishtars were really isolated from the world."
"You must have been lonely, just like most of the pharaoh's of Egypt."
"Why were they so lonely?"
"I guess their powers were hostile to love."
Malik bowed his head than thought, Does this mean I can never love. "I guess more gain more pain, ne?"
"True, most were but some were lucky enough to experience it."
"What are you talking about?" Bakura had no idea where this conversation was going he had to ask. So they told him everything and Bakura and Rishid listened intently.
"So are you a pharaoh Malik-sama?" Rishid asked in amazement.
"That's what they say."
"I will protect you no matter what." Malik smiled at him, appreciative of his loyalty.
"I want to know more about the Roman influence in history." Bakura looked at Daine.
"Umm, well their power was strongest when Julius Caesar had ruled over Rome. The same time Cleopatra ruled Egypt. I guess Caesar was in love with the queen, but she wasn't. So this angered him, he declared war. If he won she would have to marry her, if not then he would give her the most prized possession. So.."
Bakura interrupted, "Wait, tell me more of the war."
"It..." Just before she began did the floor began to open as the water drained. Bakura and Malik managed to get out, but Rishid and Daine weren't so lucky.
"Should we go help them?" Malik asked.
"I say we leave them!" Malik rolled his eyes and grabbed the robber's hand and pulled him. They jumped in a dark tunnel that seemed to go no where. When it finally ended Malik and Bakura first saw Isis in the side unharmed.
"Isis, sister are you all right?"
"Yes, but they took a girl and Rishid."
"Who?"
"The Zayroe brothers."
Malik looked at Bakura, "You think you why she took her?"
"I know why they would take Daine, but not you're slave."
"He's not my 'slave', c'mon let's go!"
"Be careful brother." Isis stood up and followed them. "Here, they took me here as well." The room was dark, almost scary. They all felt a strange power, but went on anyway. From no where a whip of darkness tried to slap them in.
"Isis, I think it's best if you go into the light." Malik pleaded. "You're very weak."
"All right, just come out safely."
Bakura looked around and felt pure evil, "What do you think this is?"
"I don't know, but it's not Egyptian." As soon as they crossed the darkness and entered the light, they only saw Daine being held in darkness, unconscious. They immediately ran to assist her and tried to break her out of this thing that detained her. It was hard for both of them, but they kept on trying.
They heard laughter; "You won't be able to break her out of that with your hands."
"Zorne I'm not surprise." Bakura lowered his eyes at him.
"The hell do you want from her?"
"She has power, a power that would interfere with our plans. I want her for myself. So I'm sending here to a place in the Dark hole. So when I release she is mine!"
Malik couldn't take it; he had to do something. Taking a shot at him seemed perfect. "Let her go!"
Zorne fell onto the ground, "You'll pay for that. I banish you to the darkness." He lifted his hands as he brought forth darkness. It seemed to have any effect on Malik, but suddenly an intense pain came from his head. The darkness within him couldn't resist the pull. He was forced to take over now.
"AARRRGG!" Yami Malik had fully taken over his hikari's body. Bakura and Zorne couldn't believe it.
Zorne stood up in shock, "It's coming true, the first pharaoh has returned." He stopped the Dark hole, "It have any effect on you."
Yami Malik walked towards Zorne, and lifted him up, "Why are you always after her?"
"You do not know?"
"But you'll tell me won't you."
"She is the queen of Egypt. She alone holds the power of the Crystal beast of Myth, Ramsaun. With her the Great War could end."
"And?"
"Her crown holds great powers, that's all I know I swear." Yami Malik dropped him. He then walked towards Daine.
Bakura looked at him, "How did you comeback?"
"A woman released me, I'm trying to find her. Is she all right?"
"Sure."
Yami looked at Zorne, "How do we get out. Tell me now!" Zorne pointed behind him. The dark Malik began to walk, stepping over Zorne.
"Make sure she is okay."
Isis came just at the moment her brother left the room, "How did he comeback?"
"I don't know." Bakura then walked towards Zorne, "What is this war you talk of."
"It's the worst war in history of ancient times. A war that lasted from the rise and fall of Egypt and Rome."
"How are the Romans involved?"
"We hold great powers of the shadow games. Powerful spirits and great treasures."
"Treasures, ne. Interesting." Bakura picked up Daine and left the room and Isis followed. Zorne looked at Bakura in envy.
"I'll get you, she's mine only." He whispered.

Yugi was heading to Joey's room for some kind of meeting. 'To discuss their strategy' they said. He met with Téa and Serenity, "Hey guys."
"Hi Yugi, it's kind of late for a meeting." Téa grew concerned about their energy tomorrow.
"Don't worry." Then they both looked in shock as they saw an old enemy. "Malik!? What is he doing here."
Yami Malik didn't say a word. Just passed his old foe with dignity.
"Oh no Yugi, how did he come back?" Téa worried frantically.
"I don't know how but we have to tell everyone." They ran to Joey's room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bakura entered the hotel with Daine in his arms. I guess she could stay with me for the night, he thought. He laid her on his couch and brought a blanket and wrapped it around her. Then he headed for his bed. He thought of everything that happened today. As he closed his eyes he said to himself in his mind, It begins again. Then slept.
