Chapter 3
~
"Battle City huh?" Azita replied to her mother. The woman nodded, and looked back at her computer. "What's it about?"
"It's just some random duel monsters tournament set up by Kaiba Corp. I suppose it's a good opportunity to try out the new duel disk system, but there MUST be another reason behind it." The woman replied, typing like mad on her computer.
"I wonder if I can go. I know for sure that Yugi is going to be in it. I hope I'm good enough." Azita began to think.
"Oh, and they said to give this to you." The mother handed her daughter something that looked like a duel monster card (A/N: I've never seen the invitation Kaiba used, so I'll just use my own creative juices to make one).
The girl looked at it. And then gawked in surprise. "It's an invitation to the tournament! Where did you get it?!!"
"Business meeting. We're trying to see if we can get our companies to merge. And the process is going at a slow rate." The woman replied, and finished the conversation.
~
When Yugi and the group entered the registration area, they were amazed to see Azita getting a duel disk.
"Hey Azita! Since when did you duel?" Yugi asked in English.
"Well, I've dueled for a long time. Ever since my sister left for college and my parents divorced. It kind of took my mind off things." She replied in her language. She still couldn't' speak much Japanese. Except when Jounouchi was being an idiot. Then she would yell at him in Japanese.
Joey glared at her. She always found a reason for yelling at him. (A/N: I'm NOT trying to make him a hentai!) Like last week, when she yelled at him for looking under her skirt that time when they were playing sports. To him, it was an accident!! Why can't girls let that go?
~
"I wonder who that is . . . ." Azita was having her dreams again. They always turned out weird. But this one was different.
She was floating above something. She couldn't tell what it was. But there was something going on down there that involved screaming. She hovered down to see what was happening, and couldn't' believe her eyes.
Blood was scattered in a few places, and there were giant duel monsters hovering above duelists. The Ice Phoenix was flying high in the sky, as the opponent was starting to bleed.
"What the heck is going on??!!" She floated there, bewildered at the current scene.
And then she woke up.
She was panting heavily. As do most people when they have nightmares, or prominitions. She quickly looked at her clock. 4:00 am.
"In a couple days, Battle City will start. Man, I must be getting edgy." She thought to herself, as she pulled her covers over her. "But what could it mean?"
~
"Azita! Phone!" Her brother called.
"Hang on! I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming!!!" She said, struggling to get her socks on. They always seemed to present her with a challenge every morning. She rushed out and snatched the phone from her brother. 'Hello?' Good. She was using some Japanese.
'Hello. I believe it would be of your best interest to come to the museum today.' The woman on the other line said.
Azita stared at the phone before replying. 'Who are you?'
'I am Isis Ishtal. You will learn more when you come.' Then she hung up.
Azita stared at the phone again. "Who is this person, a stalker?"
"Mom! I'm going out!" She called. "Wait, Mom isn't home." She left a note for her brother and ran out the door, hurriedly putting her shoes and coat on.
~
The girl walked into the museum. "How did I know to come here?" She pondered to herself, as she walked through the different exhibits.
'You must be Azita.' A female voice said. Azita whirled around to see an Egyptian woman with back length black hair. And some other gold ornaments on her, as well as a plain white dress.
'Who are you?' Azita asked her.
The woman merely blinked and beckoned for her to follow. 'I am Isis Ishtal. And the sight you are about to see will change the course of your life forever.'
Azita looked at her with a sarcastic tone of voice. 'Gee, where have I heard THAT before?'
The room was dark and big. Azita couldn't quite see her way around. 'Could you turn on the light please?'
Isis grinned. 'Of course.' She replied, and flicked on the light switch.
Azita immediately looked at the giant stone tablets in the room. "OH MY GOD!!! THESE ARE SOOOO HUGE!!!" echoed through her mind, as she stared at them in amazement.
She then grew curious and turned quickly to Isis. 'Why are you showing me this? What does it have to do with me?'
'That is where my Millennium Necklace comes in. We can look into the past, and see how this relates to you.' She put her hands near the weird looking necklace on her neck, and it began to glow.
And the next thing Azita saw, was a small village in the desert. Many people were doing their everyday activities. But one girl caught Azita's eye the most. It looked just like her older sister!
"Katherine? What's she doing here?! She's supposed to be at college!" Azita mistakenly said out loud.
"We are looking into your past life. And in that life, you were someone very special." Isis replied to the comment.
"You CAN speak English? Then why didn't we talk in English before?" Azita said, the anime sweatdrop rolling down the side of her head.
"Never mind that. Just pay attention as to what is going to happen." Isis pointed down to what everyone was soon gathered around.
Azita looked to where she was pointing, and couldn't believe her eyes. It looked like SHE was down there dueling someone! "I'M DUELING someone?! Who is it?"
They all turned their gaze and saw Yami there, and his Dark Magician had just been blown to bits. He grunted, and summoned another monster.
"Why am I dueling Yugi?!" She said to Isis. And soon, they were back in the museum.
"That is not Yugi. Look at this tablet." She said, pointing to the tablet she had shown Kaiba a few days ago.
"That looks like Kaiba and Yugi dueling with the Blue Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician." Azita replied, sounding astonished.
"Good! You know what they were instinctively! That's impressive!" Isis commented. And then got back on track. "You had a previous life in Egypt. And it was very important. You were a prophet for the Pharaoh. You were his eyes into the future, and you made a good life from that."
" . . . and how did I die?"
" . . . . I do not know that." Isis quickly lied. But Azita didn't know that Isis lied. The Egyptian hurriedly changed the subject, and handed Azita a card.
"What's this?"
"Something unknown by the Rare Hunters - a group of underground thieves stealing cards and selling them. They are after all the Egyptian god cards, and this is a card that can stop the gods themselves." Isis made her reply in English.
"Why are you trusting ME with this card?" Azita asked her.
"You had care of the card in your past life - I am assuming that we can trust you with the card again."
Azita took a look to the card. "Nepthys, Goddess of Peace?"
"That's right. It can even stop the most powerful of the Gods." Isis took something else out. "And someone I know instructed me to give this to you."
"What is it?" Azita said, looking at it in a queer way.
"The Millennium Scales. They are used to judge a persons heart. If it is lighter then the feather of truth, then they will be free. But if it is heavier, then they will be consumed by a demon."
"Why would someone trust me with this?"
"It is your destiny to have it." Isis replied.

There. Now I FINALLY know where in the story line this takes place. ^^
Yugi: Yeah. But why are you throwing her into Battle City? And how will you get her on the blimp?
That's MY business ;P
