Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. I own 1 of the 2 guards in the end of the chapter. Oh yay, a guard, aren't I happy?
********************
The boy got out of his plush bed in a daze. As his eyes came into focus, he realized that he was in the Kaiba Mansion.
'Dammit!' He thought to himself, 'Why couldn't it be a dream? A god damned nightmare?'
"I don't want to deal with this, but I will if I have to. Yami, god as my witness, you will suffer for what you've done!" Yugi ambitiously yelled, waking Mokuba in the next room.
Yugi opened his door, and walked down the steps. He thought by now it would be easy to traverse the stairs, but alas, that was not the case. But, with determination, he put a smile on his face.
"What are you so happy about?" A sneering voice came from downstairs.
"I have figured out how I can defeat Yami!" Yugi said, both depressed and delighted.
"And how's that?" Seto inquired, obviously not that interested in the TV anymore, turning it off.
"The Millennium Items." Yugi said.
"Oh great, more magic!" Seto muttered.
Yugi picked up on this and said "Look, I know you don't believe in magic, and I don't need you to. I just need you to do one thing for me."
"Shoot." Seto said.
"I need you to get me the Millennium Puzzle." Yugi woefully said.
"What?! You don't have it? You always have that!" Seto exclaimed.
"I know, but I couldn't put it around my neck. It's too evil now. I just couldn't stand it. I left it on my nightstand. Do you know where the game shop is?" Yugi asked.
"I think so, yeah."
"Good, I need you to get it by tomorrow. Shadi will be by to give me his Millennium Items, and I'll call Bakura." Yugi explained to Seto.
"Alright. Two questions. One, how can you be sure that Shadi is coming by?" Seto asked, intrigued.
All Yugi did was point at his Millennium Necklace. Seto sighed.
"Fine. Second, am I going to run into Yami?" Seto asked, a little afraid.
"I'm sure not. He'd never stay there. But, he'll let me know where he is, he's just that way." Yugi replied.
"Oh! One more thing, I'm going to need your Millennium Rod."
"Sure, have it. Never been able to use the damned thing anyways." Seto replied, tossing Yugi the rod he had tucked into his belt.
Seto called his chauffeur, and was on his way.
Yugi lay on the couch, wondering how he was going to ask Bakura for his Eye and Necklace. The bell rang.
"Alfred?" Yugi yelled.
No response.
'Meh, I'll get it myself.' Yugi thought to himself, getting up.
He looked into the camera's screen, and saw the grave robber. He pressed the button on the panel.
"Come on in, Bakura!" Yugi exclaimed, trying to be as cheerful as possible.
He opened the gate, and Bakura made his way up the driveway. He knocked on the door about 5 minutes later. Yugi opened the door.
"What do you want, Yugi?" Bakura asked, scowling.
"Uh. well." Yugi hesitated.
"What!?" Bakura asked again, getting annoyed.
"I.. uh. well. need your Millennium eye and Millennium ring."
Bakura started laughing in Yugi's face, bemused that such a lowly creature to even consider asking the great Tomb Robber to give up one of his most dear possessions.
Bakura wiped a tear from the side of his eye. "Oh Yugi, what ever for?" Bakura asked, still laughing.
"To kill Yami." Yugi stated.
The laughing stopped immediately.
"Consider it done." Bakura said as he took the eye out of his pocket, and unhooked the necklace.
"Arigatou, Bakura" Yugi thanked.
"I expect them back by tomorrow. If you need any help, please, don't hesitate to ask. Hahahaha!" Bakura laughed devilishly, smirking and walking away.
Just then, Seto walked back in, carrying the Puzzle. He threw it to Yugi.
"Thanks, Seto!" Yugi walked up to the Kaiba.
"No problem. So, I saw Bakura. Did he give the items up without a fight?"
"Sure did. As soon as he heard the Pharaoh was going to be killed by them, he gladly gave them up." Yugi replied.
"Well, good luck with all of this. If you need to talk to me, I'll be at KaibaCorp, give me a call." Seto said.
"I will. Goodbye, Seto!" Yugi replied, sitting down.
Two hours later, Yugi was awakened. He had fallen asleep while watching TV.
"I sensed you needed my help, friend." A figure said.
"What? Who are you?" Yugi asked while his eyes were coming back into focus.
"Oh! Shadi, hello! Good to see you." Yugi greeted his friend.
"You as well." Shadi replied.
"Let's just cut to the point. I need the Millennium Scale and Key."
Shadi stepped back, not believing the youth's request.
"But. why? Why would you need my items?" Shadi asked.
"Yami has gone power mad. He needs to be destroyed, Shadi."
"My dear friend, as much as I would like to accommodate your request, it is my job to be the keeper of the Millennium items, not to judge other people. Only the items can decide who is just, not another human. As powerful as I may be, I am still a man."
"Yes, but if the Millennium items judge people, would they kill someone who is just?" Yugi asked.
Shadi had no response for this.
"The day of the Pharaoh is coming to an end my friend. The ancient magic that used to be so interwoven into everyone's life, is now becoming useless. I suppose I have no choice but to give you the items. But I warn you. If you use these items, and the Pharaoh is not found to be unjust, then you will be destroyed, not him. Also."
"Yes?"
"The Magic in the items is wearing thin. Unfortunately, if you go through with this plan, they will be destroyed."
"I don't care. If I don't stop Yami, I know he'll do something terrible."
"Then the items are yours, my friend. I am afraid we will never be able to meet again." Shadi said as he looked at the ground.
"But, why?" Yugi asked.
"Because, my life force is contained within the Millennium Ankh. Should that be destroyed, I will also be cast into the shadow realm."
"Then, I can't go through with this Shadi. That just wouldn't be right." Yugi said, with righteousness in his voice.
"You must, my friend. I know what you say is true, the Pharaoh has gone power hungry. The same thing happened in Egypt. That is the entire reason the Millennium Items were created!"
"But, I thought Yami made the Millennium Items to seal away the great powers of evil.." Yugi replied.
"No. Nothing could be further from the truth. May I see the Millennium Necklace?"
Yugi unhooked the chain, and handed it to Shadi.
"I take you to ancient Egypt, where you may see the true Pharaoh." Shadi said.
Shadi held his hand up to the eye on the necklace, which began glowing.
Yugi found himself in the air above Ancient Egypt. He was directly above a Cornishe, which was adjacent to the palace. The palace was a magnificent sight, the biggest building Yugi had ever seen. It was painted a beautiful gold color, and had a magnificent pillar directly in the front of the building.
"This is the palace where Yami ruled?"
Shadi nodded. They wandered into the palace, unable to be seen by the guards.
They reached a large room, where Yami was sitting on a throne, watching Priest Seto being beaten to a bloody pulp.
"Please, Pharaoh, my God! I ask for your forgiveness! I will do what you wish from now on." The priest begged.
Yami slowly rose from the throne, with an apologetic look in his eyes.
"Oh my dear, dear Seto. I asked you of only one request. Never go near my bed quarters. I found you inside my room, snooping around. I could forgive you of this, I suppose.." Yugi said, as Seto weakly smiled.
"Or, I could make you suffer for it. And I'll give you a guess as to which I'm going to let happen." Yami said as he started laughing.
"Please! My God! I swear on to the name of Ra that I will do anything you wish! I will be your slave! Anything, Please!" The priest begged with all of his might.
"Guards, let the priest go. And leave the room." The pharaoh commanded. The priest frowned, as he knew what was coming.
"Stop, Pharaoh!" Seto yelled, as soon as the guards left, holding a dagger.
"You think that puny weapon will harm me?" The Pharaoh asked.
"Yes, yes it will. Pharaoh, you've ruined this country enough. Just because the gods gave you these powers does not mean you have the right to abuse them! By Ra's name, I will destroy you!" The priest exclaimed.
"Really?" The pharaoh asked, bemused.
The priest plunged the dagger into his stomach, and removed it.
Ak khewew, enen iam, shem neb.
Nekh seba aii khewew.
Kai Ra, khakh Nekh.
He chanted, as the blood on the dagger started glowing.
Hepet shenew Pharaoh!
Embrace Death Pharaoh!
The priest screamed, as a light shot out of the dagger. The light hit the pharaoh in his third eye, and there was a bright flash. After the light dissipated, on the ground lay seven items.
"I am proud that this may be my last action. Although the evil isn't destroyed, I may have just saved the world." Seto gasped, before letting out his final breath.
"My god.. The Millennium Items were created to seal away the Pharaoh's power, not to guard the world from criminals? But what about the spirits in the Millennium Rod, and the Ring?"
"Crossfire, unfortunately. Malik was one of the guards outside. He was good, but the Item's nature turned him evil. The items were put in the Pharaoh's tomb, since no body existed. The tomb robber Bakura tried stealing the Ring, but his soul got absorbed into it." Shadi said, as he put his hands back on his necklace, and reappeared in the living room, much to the surprise of Mokuba.
"Good luck, my friend. I hope to somehow see you again." Shadi said, while handing back the necklace.
"You too." Yugi replied, as Shadi disintegrated into the air.
