Geno threw the small male against the wall. He tried to stand, but
collapsed. He watched as Geno marched over to the altar, and smiled.
"Do you know what you guard?" He asked.
"My family has told that it is the armor of an Egyptian Soldier."
Geno smiled as he gazed upon the armored chest plate. He picked it up and began to put it on. "Funny, isn't it? Your family must guard armor of a mere soldier? Sounds like you ancestors must have drawn the short stick when the gave out guarding items."
The little man glared at him. No one insulted his family. "That armor belonged to a legendary general! We guard it on behave of the pharaoh's command"
Geno slipped the grand belt, slipped on his cap and Egyptian Headpiece. "And who was that general?"
The little man frowned. "We do not know. The name was lost long ago. All that remains of his identity is that tablet!" They both turned to a tablet depicting a grand general on the battlefield. The little man gasped, looking back at Geno as he picked up a curved Arabian sword and massive seed shaped shield. "You..your.."
Geno walked over to the gravekeeper, and stood him off, brushing the dirt from his shirt. "Now, I want to know where I can find other grave keepers."
"There's a bar.in town..some of the gravekeepers who work for the family drink there, buy supplies, and so on."
Geno smiled, and tossed the gravekeeper a sack of gold. "I thank you for guarding my armor. But I need it now, so I suggest you guys use that gold to pay for cable." You paused, and leaned in closely. "And my name is Kappa Neo."

Joey looked around, staring at the canyon walls. "I don't think we're in Domino anymore Tristan."
Tristan nodded. "Uh, Yugi, Raia, how the hell did we get here?"
Shadi rolled his eyes. "Come on, this way." He led them through the valley, weaving around this way and that. Everyone didn't understand why until he threw a stone at a piece of ground, and area collapsed into a 20- foot deep pit. At that moment, they all followed Shadi's every move.
Soon they reached a tomb door, guarded by a large, bald gravekeeper. Shadi made a slight movement with his hands, and the guard nodded. He moved from the door, and slowly chanted. They watched as hieroglyphs appeared, then faded, the door gone. Shadi nodded and lead them inside.
Yugi looked in amazement at the people that sat around, all doing something. A woman was grinding a sword, a young man feed a cat and an owl. Finally, the approached a small throne, where a white robed gravekeeper sat. Shadi bowed to him.
"May I present Joey, Tristan and Tea: 3 duelist." The three awkwardly bowed. "And this is Kaikou, royal protector of the throne." Raia shifted into Kaikou, and gave a proper bow. "And this is the Pharaoh.."
The man cut Shadi off with a wave of his hand. "I am well aware of his lineage, but I am shocked that he could even be around."
"What do you mean?" Yami asked.
"Well, legend tells that the last known pharaoh killed his wife Kaikou, who is of the same name as this beautiful woman at your side, before she could proved you with an heir." Yami's eyes went wide as he stared at Kaikou, whose face was beet red. "And of course, there is the matter of his death."
Yami looked at him hard. "What about 'his' death? I was told he died stopping a thief named Bakura."
The gravekeeper laughed. "No, he lived for a long time after that."
"The what did kill him?"
"Not what, who."
Yami gulped, fearing he knew the answer. "I was killed by Kappa Neo, wasn't I?"
The gravekeeper looked at him, puzzled. "You?" HE thought. "So, the legends were true, the pharaoh was sealed, and I am guessing so were you my lady?" Kaikou nodded. "Well then, I am truly shocked. Here I believed we guarded the pharaoh's soul, which dwelt in this temple. It seems Shadi here wasn't as foolish as I thought. But I talk on, while I have yet to give you my name. I am Duran."
"We have come to challenge you for a card you hold, a Greek Weapon card."
"That is an interesting matter. You come looking for the items that helped the man that killed you, at least in body." Duran smiled. "You may not know of the legends of Kappa Neo, but though he was a deadly betrayer, he once was a grand general." Duran paused, and stood, making his way through the group, who turned and followed him. "Did you know he could have been pharaoh? HE was that powerful, and the people loved him so. But he refused, and served under your father well. IN fact, he even managed to beat him in the ancient games. That is something I have always dreamed of, beating a pharaoh. And now, I am have my chance, to see if I could match Kappa Neo."
The slowly moved to a large hall, where seats had been carved into the rock. Duran pulled out a duel disk, as did Yami. He walked over to Kaikou as Duran prepared.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Kaikou sighed. "I wanted too, but."
'Did you not think I had a right to know?" Yami hissed.
"Did you not think I had the right to be wary! You trapped me in the heart!"
"Do not bring that up!" Yami yelled.
"I will bring it up if I wish!" Kaikou fired back.
"IF you are done fighting, I wish to duel." Duran replied. Yami stared at Kaikou, then approached the field. He needed to kick some ones ass.
"Do you know what you guard?" He asked.
"My family has told that it is the armor of an Egyptian Soldier."
Geno smiled as he gazed upon the armored chest plate. He picked it up and began to put it on. "Funny, isn't it? Your family must guard armor of a mere soldier? Sounds like you ancestors must have drawn the short stick when the gave out guarding items."
