The Millennium Ritual
Chapter 20: Aura's Demise
A woman dressed in all black was walking down the side of the Nile, sweating in the heat of the sun. 'Next time I come here, I'll dress more brightly.' Aura thought, rubbing the fabric of her cloak and wrapping it closer to her body. She shivered as another gust of wind blew about. 'This is a really bad combination of the weather.' Still, it kept her warm from the fierce winds in the desert, and it's a good enough excuse for her to still wear her cape. So she kept on walking.
But as Aura was walking, she wondered what her friends were doing right now. 'I hope they didn't come after me.' She thought, as she continued to stare at her favorite card, Wingweaver. Sand was blowing everywhere around her, causing Aura to squeeze her eyes shut her eyes to the opposing sand. When Aura opened her eyes once more, she found that after her long traveling she finally reached her destination.
"The mouth of the Nile," Aura said, "The birthplace of the Millennium Ritual."
'And where Shanek and the captives are.' Maeve said, staring at the location.
The two Egyptians were quiet as they continued to stare at the river, flowing peacefully through the sand, the sound like rocks clicking together.
'Shall we go?' asked Maeve, staring at her hikari.
"Yes," Aura said, "But first, I have to tell you something."
Maeve's eyebrows rose. "Oh? What is it?"
"I'm glad you're with me on this. I don't think I could've done this on my own."
The Yami smiled, and replied, "Your mother would have been proud. Your brother would have been proud. I am proud, during these past few days. . ." She chuckled. "You have grown much."
Aura nodded, and said, "Let's go."
Aura walked toward the mouth of the river, preparing the spell to stop the ritual. But as she walked, a figure appeared from beneath the shadows. It was Shanek, and following after, was Y. Bakura.
The kidnapper clapped his hands, saying, "Bravo, bravo! You have finally made it, Riordan."
Aura stopped in her tracks as Shanek and the tomb robber came in front of her, their grins as wide as a hyena's.
"You." She said as she stepped backwards.
"We gave you quite a bashing there, didn't we Aura?" Y. Bakura sneered, as he pointed at her arm. "I believe I gave you a "hole" lot to worry about, didn't I?" He laughed.
Aura clutched her arm where the dagger once was. 'Don't show fear. Don't show fear.' She repeated in her mind.
"Not to worry Aura," Shanek said, as he revealed a large object from his cloak, "All I ask of you is one little duel, that's all." He revealed his duel disk, the same kind from Kaiba's Duel Monsters Tournament.
She stared at him, confused. 'Why does he want to duel?' She thought. 'Should I say yes, Maeve?' Maeve didn't reply.
'It is your decision, aibou.'
Aura continued to stare at the duel disk. Then she asked, "What are the circumstances of the duel?"
"If you win, I will free the captives and you and your friends will safely exit Egypt, and Y. Bakura here will free Bakura from his mind."
"And if you win?" Aura asked suspiciously.
"If I win," Shanek said menacingly, "I will be able to do whatever I want with you, keep the captives, AND Y. Bakura will still have control over Bakura." The white haired tomb robber tossed over another duel disk to Aura, who easily caught it.
"Well? Is it a deal or not?" Shanek asked, smiling.
Aura didn't say anything. All she did was shuffle her deck, and placed it in her duel disk.
"Let's duel," she said.
Shanek grinned. "Good, let's begin." Suddenly darkness engulfed the Egyptians, making no light shine through. Aura knew what this meant.
This will be a shadow game. __________________________________________________________________________
Yami, Kaiba, Joey, Tea, and Tristan were all walking near the Nile River, not sure where they are supposed to go. Ever since they found out Aura was missing, the five of them went out in search for her. And in search for Mokuba, Serenity, and Yugi's Grandfather.
"This is hopeless Yugi," Kaiba said, as they continued to walk along the Nile River, "How are we supposed to find Aura if we don't have a clue about where she is?"
"Kaiba's right, Yugi. How will we know where she is? For all we know, we could have passed her!" Tristan said taking a handful of sand and letting it float in the wind.
"We will know," said a determined Yami. "I'm sure of it."
"Hey, maybe she went to the Healer's home for advice. Maybe Aura's there." Tea suggested.
"Well, it's a start. Let's get going." Said Joey, walking in the other direction.
As they walked, Yami noticed Kaiba dropped a small object. "Kaiba, you dropped something." Yami picked it up as Kaiba turned his head to look.
It was the lapis lazuli gemstone that Aura gave to Kaiba a few days back. Kaiba's eyes widened. "How did that get there?" He asked, taking the stone from Yami and staring at it.
"I don't know. . ." Yami said, staring at it, "Do you think Aura put it in your trench coat?"
Kaiba did not answer, for suddenly, Tea responded, "Hey you guys! What's that?" She pointed at a green object, coming closer and closer. Yami couldn't really make it out, but as it came closer, he saw that it was a green jeep. 'Could it be?' Yami thought.
Joey flapped his arms wildly over his head. Kaiba scoffed, and said, "What's the mutt doing now? Is he trying to fly?"
"Rasa! Hey RASA! Remember us!? YOO-HOO!!!! OVER HERE!" yelled Joey, flapping his arms even more.
"The guy who drove us to the Healer's home?" Tristan asked.
The green jeep pulled over, covering Joey and Tristan with sand, but sure enough, it was Rasa, the driver.
"Come quickly! We must go to the mouth of the Nile before Sunset!" He cried, motioning them inside the jeep.
"Why?" Tea asked, confused.
"No questions! We must hurry! They'll start the Millennium Ritual soon!"
"What?" Joey said.
"QUICKLY!" Rasa ordered, pushing the teenagers inside the jeep. Rasa started the engine, and drove off as fast as he can, following the Nile. ___________________________________________________________________
"You mean Aura knew where the ritual was being held all along!?" Kaiba yelled angrily, after Rasa finished explaining what Aura's plan was.
"Yes! But she didn't tell you under the best circumstances!" Rasa yelled over the wind.
"And what is that?!" Tristan asked.
"If Mr. Kaiba and Mr. Motto were to come to the mouth of the blessed Nile, the ritual would be complete!"
Yami's eyes widened. "Why!?"
"High Priestess Maeve knew that someday someone would want to release the shadow monsters, so she prepared a ritual to imprison them in their own realm!"
"Do you mean the Shadow Realm?!" Tea yelled, suddenly afraid.
"Correct! So, when the Priestess made the ritual, there was one thing anyone casting the ritual needed!"
"What was that?!" Kaiba asked.
"The ritual needed the three people who cast the spell in the first place! It needed Pharaoh Yami, High Priest Set, and High Priestess Maeve! It needed you three! Ms. Riordan, Mr. Kaiba, and Mr. Motto!"
Rasa continued, "Even though the ritual was supposed to imprison the shadow monsters, it can also FREE them! We must not let that happen! If Shanek managed to let you come here by your own free will, it'll give him the help he needs to complete the ritual!"
"Then why are you bringing us to him!?" Yami asked angrily.
"To save your sister, my pharaoh!" Rasa said, "If you and Mr. Kaiba are there, we just might be able to stop the ritual!"
Yami and Kaiba said no more for the entire drive. ___________________________________________________________________________ 5000 Years Ago
Maeve breathed in and out hoarsely as she stared at her opponent, Set. They were playing a shadow game, and from a distance, it seemed to be friendly, but it wasn't. It was a deadly game, very deadly. Set had a smug look on his face.
"T-traitor. . ." She whispered, as her stone tablet containing Gyakutenno Megami spirit crumbled. "W-why are you d-doing this?" As the tablet crumbled, another dagger struck her knee, making Maeve howl in pain. She fell, taking out the dagger as she done to the others.
"Now, now Maeve," Set said, smiling, "Remember our little deal, if you lost a monster, a dagger shall sprout in your body."
"I made no such deal, traitor." Maeve said, standing up.
"Quiet wench!" Set said angrily.
"Why are you doing this, Set? I thought we were good friends, what have I done to you that made me deserve this?" She pointed at the pile of daggers that struck her. The Priestess was bleeding badly.
"You did absolutely nothing, wench," Set said, "It's just that I needed to go have a talk with the pharaoh, and you were in my way."
"You were about to assassinate my brother, weren't you?" Maeve stated angrily.
"But of course, he is in the way, as you are now."
"What happened to you? You used to be such a good man, but now all you are is a fraud, a traitor to all of Egypt!" Maeve raised another tablet, with the image of the Wing Weaver.
"Wing Weaver, ATTACK!" She ordered, making Set's opposing tablet, the Sword Staker crumble. Maeve grinned triumphantly. "I-I got y-you where I want you, lowly mage." The loss of blood made Maeve quite giddy.
"Oh really?" Set asked amusingly. He rose a tablet, bearing the image of. . .
"The Blue Eyes White Dragon!" Maeve cried.
Set grinned menacingly, his eyes filled with madness. "BLUE EYES!!! ATTACK THE WENCH'S WING WEAVER!!!"
The tablet was destroyed, and Maeve lost the shadow game. Maeve crumbled to the ground, her eyes spilling angry tears. "No. . . I won't. . . lose. . . to a traitor. . . LIKE HIM!!!"
Maeve grabbed a dagger, and in pure spite, ran and stabbed Set, but unfortunately, she was not fast enough, for Set had another dagger hidden. Quickly he took the dagger, and stabbed her in the stomach. Now more and more blood poured down to the white marble path of the courtyard. She fell on the priest, and said her last words, "Y-you. . . s-shall. . . NEVER. . . win. . . I should. . . have known. . . You are not Set. . ."
"My my, aren't you the observant one." The imposter said, as Maeve was slowly losing consciousness, "You are right. I am not Set, but I assure you, in the future, he will betray the Pharaoh." Tears sprang out of her eyes.
"Remember my name wench," the man whispered quietly, "Shanek."
He tossed the dead corpse to the ground, and he was about to send Maeve's mind into the shadow realm, when he realized that it was already gone. Shanek frowned. 'Impossible, the mind always lingers in the corpse for a little while, so why is it gone?'
That's when he noticed that the Millennium Orb was gone. But what he didn't know was that Maeve's servant saw and heard everything. So Ava took the Orb, and knowing that her mistress's spirit was there, smashed it into pieces.
"Rest in peace my Priestess, my family and I will await your return." Ava said. _________________________________________________________________________
Aura was breathing in and out, sweat dotting her forehead. 'I'm down to my last 200 life points. But so is Shanek.' She thought, as she stared at her opponent.
'Be careful Aura! That traitor will stop at nothing to win!' Maeve said.
"A-at least I have Wingweaver on the field." Aura said smiling, but was still breathing hard.
"Not that it will help you girl." He said, "I draw one card!" Shanek stared at it, and grinned.
"First I'll play the magic card, Swords Of Revealing Lights! This stops you from attacking me for 3 turns!"
"No!" Aura said, eyes widening.
"Yes! Next, I play the field magic card, Yami! It increases the attack and defense points of all spell caster and fiend type monsters by 200 pts, while it decreases the attack and defense of all fairy type monsters by 200 pts!"
Aura stared at her Wingweaver, as it starting 2750 \ 2400 went down to 2550 \ 2200, while his Mage Knight's attack and defense points went up to 3000 \ 2400. Her eyes widened once more.
'He can attack my Wingweaver, and since it's in attack mode, I'll lose all my life points! And I have no traps or magic cards to stop it! It's the end for me!'
"Die WENCH!" He screamed, "Mage Knight, attack her directly with the Accursed Blade Attack!"
The Mage Knight attacked Wingweaver, making Aura's life points go down to zero.
She crumbled to the ground. "I lost. . . I failed my friends. . ."
The holograms disappeared, and Shanek and Y. Bakura walked toward Aura, standing before her.
"What are you going to do, coward?" Aura said, deciding to give him a crack.
Shanek didn't say anything, all he did was grin, and pointed the Millennium Rod to her forehead, and said, "Time to send your mind to the Shadow Realm!"
There was a blast, and Aura fell to the ground, lifeless, her eyes that was once filled with a sparkling green glow, was now blank. ________________________________________________________________________
Yami and the others finally arrived to the mouth of the river, and Kaiba noticed the large dark sphere.
"What in the world is that?!" Kaiba asked as the jeep stopped.
Yami jumped out of the jeep, and knowing that Aura and possibly Shanek were dueling in the Shadow Realm, he yelled, "Maeve! Aura! Are you in there?!" Kaiba and the others followed him.
As if to answer his question, the dark sphere disappeared, and from the mist Yami saw nothing, for Shanek and Y. Bakura disappeared to the shadows.
"Where is Aura?" Yami asked.
Tea suddenly found a figure lying on the ground. "What's that?" She asked, pointing to the ground. They turned to where she pointed.
In the mist, they saw the figure on the ground. It did not take a while for Kaiba to figure it out.
"It's Aura!" He yelled. Yami ran forward and Kaiba and the others followed after. But when they reached her, something was different. She seemed lifeless, and her eyes were blank.
"Her mind was sent to the shadow realm!" Joey exclaimed, as they all crowded around her. Aura looked really hurt. Yami's fists were shaking.
"W-Who did this?!" He yelled.
Suddenly, Shanek and Y. Bakura appeared, and Y. Bakura said, "Well, look what the cat dragged in."
"Good," Shanek said, "One down, two to go."
To Be Continued. . .
Oooooooooooo. Creepy. This is by far the longest chapter. Hope you liked it, and I hope you watched the latest episode of YGO. Please review. No funny stuff today. Too tired. Oh, and the Mage Knight was made up.
