The nickname for the Millennium Ring is it's true nickname name.
Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh! :
'I'm vulnerable now,' he thought, 'and the ring knows it…' He could hear the Spirit laughing at him, mocking him and telling him it was pointless to defend himself.
'You know you cannot hold me back…' the spirit whispered. 'N-no, I'll kill myself before letting you out!' Ryou mentally thought. 'You're truly a fool, letting your mind speak had left part of your body weakened!'
'Perfect,' the Spirit thought, as he brought himself out of his vessel camouflage, 'Now I'll be able to get some work done... hahahhhaha!'
Ch9 of: Reawakening of the Pharaoh!
Tomb Robber escapade!
The spirit was now full unleashed. His laughter echoed in Ryou's mind that was locked away in the Millennium Ring, The Ring of Wisdom. Ryou remembered asking Shadi about the Millennium Ring after he appeared when he and his friends were in the Egyptian past.
"The Millennium ring was also known as the Ring of Wisdom. I believe you saw that it was originally priest Mahaado's ring. The Tomb thief had gained the ring when the priest became the Black Magician… I don't know what powers it has, other than tracking other Items. Be wary my friend, the Ring is very mysterious and potentially dangerous…"
The tomb thief did not look exactly like Bakura. Under his right eye were markings now, just like his ancient self. "Now to find some weaklings," the Spirit hissed. "I'll be able to enter the finals!" The Spirit checked the eye of his ring, "Good, Pegasus is still in there, the Shadow realm that is… and using his database I've recruited my hunters."
Unlike the Royal Golden Color of the millennium symbol that was on the Items, A blood red eye was shining on the thief's forehead. He stopped running near a cave six cloaked figures stood waiting.
"Master, Kankuro never showed up." The man was punched in the face. "Of course he didn't! After the Pharaoh freed Rishid from the mind control, he somehow sent a shock wave using shadow magic to KILL Kankuro! Fool!" "We have brought the Rod back though sir."
A woman held out the Millennium Rod. "Ah, Priest Seto's Rod…" The Ring began to glow and the symbol on the cloaks revealed the same blood red eye. He faced the woman again, "Hira, take out Seto Kabia." "But he doesn't hold a" "I know that!"
He then pointed to the two smaller followers, "You two! I trust you can take out the Pharaoh's friends, Jounouchi and Mai?" "Yes sir, well take care of them easy, after all we have revenge in the works for the way they humiliated us!" the two shouted.
"You, my friend, will follow Mouto and his other friends!" the man who was hit earlier just nodded. "I'll go after that bitch, Isis." The other two followers shouted, "What about us?" "Find who you wish." was the reply.
Meanwhile…
Kaiba was in the mountains standing near the waterfall after Yugi's duel. 'That stupid woman and her Egyptian Prophecies…'he thought. 'She's like a little kid wound up in stories of Magic and a great king.' He still wasn't convinced about her stories as him being a priest in Egypt. 'If I DID live in Egypt at one point, and history repeated itself like she said, how come I didn't rule Egypt like I rule the Kaiba Corporation.'
He sighed. 'And She's always goes on and on and,' his thought now changed from everything he thought was annoying about her to more intriguing thoughts. 'Her hair is so nice, dark and probably nice to lay on as I trace her curves and her skin, that will be sweating as she screams as I work her-' He blinked in sweat. 'Calm down Kaiba,' he said to himself panting, 'Jacking off won't help you right now, it's probably stress from running this tournament and some lust.'
As the CEO tried to stop the thoughts in his head…and try to put off the stress in his pants. A shadow was lurking behind him. She pulled the knife out of the Millennium Rod, 'Killing him is easier than dueling him.' she thought. She ran towards his attack attempting to stab him, but he heard her and caught her wrist, she managed to scratch his wrist with the blade, but it didn't do much.
"What do you want?!" "Well, I've been sent here to KILL you, hence the knife, baka." "That tells me your following orders stupid, what did I ask?" "I don't know weren't you listening to yourself?" the woman said smugly. Kaiba growled in frustration.
" Who is this guy?" he muttered. "Actually I'm not a guy at all, I'm a woman." She punched him across the face. "And I want to duel you." Her duel disk activated. Seto merely nodded and activated his Disk. "I'm the Hunter-nin, Hira tenkai."
She pulled down her hood to reveal her face, a woman in her early twenties, light skin, and a darkened look on her face. "A Rare hunter, under a different alias?" "Not a RARE hunter, we are different from them, we don't hunt for cards. Instead, we hunt for the duelists." (K: 6000) (H: 6000)
Yugi looked down at the card his grandfather gave him after the duel, Fiber Pod. "It restarts the whole game," his grandpa told him, "Without the life points of course." He now had four Item points; of course it didn't matter to him right now.
"Good move Mai!" He was watching his older friend duel some creep who appeared from the woods. The score was Mai: 2500, the man: 2950. Mai had Harpie's pet dragon (2500/1600), Harpie Lady (1300/1400), and Amozoness Paladin (1700/1000) on the Field. "Wench!" the man said. "I intended to fight the boy named Yugi Mouto!" "Harpies Pet Dragon! Attack! Use Flaming Fireball from the 300 point bonus from your master!" The dragon released a large fireball, which hit the man's monster, Toon Red archery Girl (1450/1500). (?: 2200)
"For the last time who are you?" "My name is Ca- Tune." "That's a stupid name!" Jounouchi and Honda said laughing. Shizuka hit both of them. "Not be Idiots! Niisan, I'm ashamed!"
"That's the last of your Toons, now I'll play harpie's feather Duster!" The Magic Toon world Book blew up.
"My turn, I'll play Toon cannon Soldier (1400/1300)!" "What?" "Easy to explain, Pegasus, the Genius that he is, created THREE types of Toons, A-Class Toons, which Yugi Mouto has faced and defeated, an example is my Toon Blue Eyes White dragon. There is only One B-class cartoon monster, the Toon Dark Magician Girl. Which only needs TOON WORLD to attack, and C-class toons which only need Toon world to attack directly!" "Okay I get it now!" "But I'm not done!" "I'll play scapegoat to sacrifice them to my cannon soldier too inflict 2000 points of direct damage!" Mai held her stomach in pain as the cannon blasts hit her and her life points. (M: 500) "I then multiply on my Kuribo to protect me!"
Mai drew, "I play Cyber Harpie, Elegant Egotist and Houou Formation-Harpy Lady! This magic card, Houou, destroys monster on your field equal to the Harpie's I have on the field and combine the attack strength of those monster to inflict damage to your lifepoints! That's game!" (C:O)
Yami no bakura had been running for an hour, his thoughts were focused on just getting to the Pyramid. 'Two miles to go' he thought. Suddenly Shadi appeared before him, "Tomb Robber, you will not go any further!" he said forcefully. "Ahhh, Priest Shadi, Gaurdian of the Millennium Items. You remain loyal to the Pharaoh for all these years, I'm impressed." The Evil Spirit opened his cloak, his jacket was wide open and his Item…was inserted into his chest by the points! "As you can see, I'm one with my item!" his maniacal laughter echoed in the night. A bright light suddenly let off. "N-no!" The hikari vessel said as he transformed, "you won't take another soul!" Another flash and the darker side were in control again. "Vessel, don't intrude again or I'll-" Flash. " Or what? Kill me? If you killed me you'd die yourself!" Shadi watched as the spirit and boy fought for control.
'They are not at peace with one another,' he said to himself, 'the boy's body will die because of this. But the lighter side seems to be willing to die, as long as the spirit is stopped.'
The yami no Bakura took over again. "To the Shadows with you!" he said to Shadi. "I cannot control what happens to you because of my lighter side, unfortunately. But I still get your Items!"
Shadi's spirit fell through a hole and landed in a dark musty room, next to the thief's hikari! "I'm sorry he did this to you." Shadi could only stare. "I managed to get you here though, it safer than where he's put others…" "Thank you." Shadi replied. 'So innocent,' he thought looking at Ryou. 'Much different than the thief.'
"The other guy," Ryou said motioning up, the supposed direction of the yami. "He has four Items now, after the battle with that Dartz guy, and going into the past in Egypt," Shadi listened intently, "he kept mentioning about releasing the ultimate evil."
Shadi's eyes widened. 'No, not 'Him' Pharaoh Atemu locked him up three millenias ago…It couldn't be him, could it?' "Boy, do you know who he is talking about? A name? A description? Anything?" "Not really," Ryou said. Shadi sighed, 'maybe it's not him after all.' Then he heard Ryou speak up again. "Except…I think he mentioned his name once…my yami calls him…Zork."
And….I leave you there to contemplate this "Ultimate Evil" as a Cliffhanger! But here's a little spoof in a humorous Shadi's reaction:
Shadi's eyes widened in fear as though the world had just ended and they closed and burned every home, temple and ramen bar in town.
Also for your own enjoyment, look back where Mai duels Ca-Tune, if you look he's playing toon cards. Look at his name, now and pronounce it like there's an 'r' after the 'Ca' and replace the 'u' with a double o.
Cheesey?Yes. Funny? I don't know tell me, in your review.
