(Writers note: The reason that Yami can appear in this is story is the
puzzle piece Yugi wears around his neck, since all the pieces are the
millennium puzzle and one of this pieces chose to be Yugi's guide in the
story)
Chapter 4.3 the statue of Anubis (the return of the queen)
Alice didn't look at Joey when she answered him: "He must be referring to Seto!"
They walked through a hallway. On each side there were statues.
"Those statues scare me said Joey. But Yami and Alice remain calm.
At the end of the hallway they find two doors. "Now what?" Said Joey.
Yami pointed at the left one: "That one."
"No! Said Alice, we should take the right one, if we take the left one we come directly to the main hall, and something tells me we should be careful and take the left one. It takes us to the other side of the main hall."
Joey: "How do you know that?"
She points at the inscription above the door. "Are you sure we can rely on that? Asked Yami, it could easily been planted by Marik to trap us."
Alice shakes her head. "No, all the hieroglyphs you see here are made by the priests, and every priest has his or hers own sign. This message was signed by the priest Seth himself, no one could ever copy his signature."
Yami: "Then we take the right one."
Alice wasn't mistaken; they came in other side of the main hall, on a balcony, which looked down to the main hall. "What is this place?" Asked Joey.
"According to the hieroglyphs this is the ceremony hall; this is where they held the ceremony to preserve the Pharaoh," Said Alice.
Joey: "In English please?"
"This is where they mummified the Pharaoh." Answered Yami.
Joey: "Yeah, right! Thanks, no need to go into details, I just had breakfast."
In the ceremony hall were the grave robbers, Marik and the black widow.
"Have you succeeded?" Asked the black widow.
"No, but I always have a back up plan, Yugi and Joey will bring me the pieces and the girl in return for their friends." He pointed at the wall. Seto and the others were chained to the wall. Seto and Tristan were badly wounded.
"So, what is the plan?" Asked Joey.
"Sssttt!" Hushed Alice. She looked to oversee the situation. Somewhere on the right, in the front row she noticed a grave robber who looked familiar. When she looked closer she saw Bakura.
"Bakura?" She whispered.
Yami: "What?"
"How can you tell?" Asked Joey. "Simpel, I recognize my brother anyplace."
"Your brother?" They both asked at the same time.
She smiled. I'll explain later, right now we've got to save Seto and the others."
"So what's the plan?" Yami asked.
Alice looked down. "You two are going to find a way to distract these grave robbers, while I go to Seto."
"And do what?" Asked Joey.
"To ask him about the crown."
"The crown, said Yami, you worried about the crown then your own friends. Look at Seto he is beaten up."
Alice: "I am not worrying about a stupid crown, it has no value to me, but my friends do. And the black widow wants the crown, I know that now and I'm going to get it for her."
"And how are you so sure that Kaiba knows where it is?" Asked Joey.
"Just a feeling."
Yami and Joey stop asking. They go down. Slowly Alice moves to the prisoners. What she didn't know was that Yami and Joey had the craziest idea ever. They ran into the main hall, screaming, but as fast as they came, they left. Alice shook her head.
"Those stupid fools, Said Marik, Get them!"
All the grave robbers ran after them. For a moment Marik and the black widow are distracted.
"Seto. Whispered Alice to him.
"What?" Said Seto. He had so much pain he whispered. She touched his face she looked at Marik and their black widow. Their attention was still at the main entrance.
"There's not much time, said Alice, and you don't have the strength, tell me, where I can find Hester's crown?"
Seto closed his eyes and remembered his dream. He was standing in a tomb. But it wasn't this tomb. (Note, according to the hieroglyphs on the plate in the museum the crown was buried in the tomb of the Pharaoh. They were in the tomb of the Pharaoh Atem) "I don't know," Seto cried.
Scared she looked at Marik, he didn't move.
"Think harder, "She whispered again.
Seto close his eyes. He formed an image of Hester. She smiled, "You've missed a piece of you dream." She disappears. He sees himself walking in the Pharaohs tomb. He walked up to a statue. Seto opens his eyes.
"I remembered," he whispered. "It's under... under the statue... the statue of Anub... Anubis. Seto felt himself weakening.
"Don't give up!" cried Alice. She gets up and followed the hieroglyphs to the statue of Anubis. She looked under the statue and found an ancient box. Inside was a crown. She puts it on. She felt a strange power overcome her.
Then she heard loud noises coming from the main hall. She went to see what was going on. She saw that Yami and Joey were captured.
Marik: "Welcome to the tomb of the Pharaoh." He walked to his prisoners. He wanted to get the pieces around their necks.
"That's enough!" Said Alice.
"Well, well, said the black widow, glad you could join us." She looked at Alice and saw the crown on her head.
"If you want to safe your friends, I suggest you give me the crown."
Alice smiles. "I'm curious, why do you call yourself black widow?"
The black widow didn't move, she looked suspicious at Alice.
"You know, Marik, what a black widow is?" Marik moved away from Yami. "What are you talking about?"
Alice smiles. "A black widow is a female spider who kills her mate after he is no longer of use to her."
Yami stared at her. What was she doing, does she wants to provoke Marik?
"Shut up! Yelled the black widow, you're lying. I would never do something to Marik, we have an agreement."
"Do you?" Asked Alice.
Marik turned to the black widow. She only stares at Alice. Then she says: "I will kill you and every one you love if you don't give me that crown."
"That's enough, leave her alone." Said a voice. It was Bakura.
"Bakura," Whispered Alice, her eyes all in tears.
"Well, well, Said the black widow, who is the traitor?"
Bakura steps towards the black widow. "I think she knows the truth now, admit it?"
"What is that?" she asked.
Alice: "That you want to be the queen, the only queen of Egypt, and you don't need a Pharaoh."
"Lies!" Yelled the black widow.
"Who is lying?" Said another voice behind them. They looked, it was Seto.
Despite his pain he pulled himself up. He laughed.
"Haha! Just admit it, black widow, you were never interested in helping Marik, you're only interesting in helping yourself."
Marik: "Is this true?"
Black widow looked around her, looked at everyone around her. "No!" She said to Marik, but she knew Alice and Seto spoke the truth.
Alice crosses her arms and walked to Marik. She looked into his eyes. She moved closer until her face was is close to his. "Do you know her, do you know the truth?"
Marik looked into his eyes. He feels a strange warm power going trough him. He drops his rod. He falls on to his knees. "My queen, he whispers, my queen."
Then he stands up. He gives his grave robbers the order: "Get the black widow." He doesn't even look at her. "Marik, you don't believe her do you?" She screamed. "Do you!" Marik!"
Alice kneels and picks up the millennium rod. She hold in her hands. Then she walks to Marik. "I think this belongs to you."
Marik smiles. "Release the prisoners."
