Yay!! I didn't get flamed to the point of death!! Anyway, after this chapter, I'm bringing in some interactive ness! This is a duel chapter but only one chappie long. SO, when you review (IF you Review!) please choose these three ideas in your preference.

1) Loss of Vengeance: Thief Bakura VS Yugi

2) A 3 on 1 battle! Rishid VS The Rare Hunters (Yes, the rare hunters from battle city)

3) A soulless duel…Isis VS Thief Bakura

Each duel is only 1 chapter long but all will be included somewhere. I just want to get the reader's preference.

Now, its time for: Ch13 of: Reawakening of the Pharaoh!

The Uneasy Truce

"Okay malik, you've got our trust…somewhat." Honda stated. "What do you want?"

"Thief Bakura, the spirit of that ring, which has been probed into his chest now, for full control over the hikari," Rishid began. " Is trying to kill Yugi and restore an ancient evil demon, who was once a priest; Zork Necrophedius."

"Then why would he take the Millennium Puzzle?" Shizuka asked.

"The thief needs it to summon Zork. In order to unlock Zork Necrophedius, one must collect ALL of the Millennium Items." Malik replied. " That foolish Hikari of the Pharaoh doesn't realize the power of his Item. Not only that, but even if that thief could get the puzzle without killing Yugi, Yugi could still maintain a weak link with the Spirit of the Puzzle…"

"Which means, the other Yugi could give our Yugi directions!" Jounouchi finished.

"Your not as dumb as you look, Jounouchi."

"How do we know you not making this up?" Honda asked.

"Because the ancient scriptures talk of this and how the Pharaoh saved the world from destruction. Of course, I personally think that stupid Phraoh let it happen so he could become more powerful and he almost let it out of control."

"Mou Hitori no Boku (another I)?" Yugi whispered.

" Malik! If you want full redemption from us, I suggest you help us."

"I don't care about your blessings, but I'll help you weaklings anyway, helping that stuck up Pharaoh is one way to get him stop trying to crush my mind. That idiot always talking about destroying me to protect his friends."

Honda, Anzu, and Jounouchi snickered. "You'd deserve it!" Anzu said.

As the eight of them started to walk again, they fell into a chasm a little ways away.

"See? I told you this would work!" A person at the top of the hole said to another.

"I told sitting and waiting isn't my style of forcing duelists into a due! I prefer to scare them into it!" the other replied.

"Just who are you?" Malik said.

"What do you want?" Jounouchi said.

"Big brother help! My foot is caught!" Shizuka cried.

"Shut up little girl! Master Malik will save us." Rishid replied.

" Jerks…" mai mumbled.

Yugi remained silent.

"We want a duel!" one of the boys said.

"Yeah! We'll let you out if you duel us! Our decks are top rate!" The other boy sneered.

"We want to duel Yugi Mouto!" They both said.

" You'll need to get through me first!" Jounouchi yelled back.

"And me!" Malik continued.

"YOU?!" Everyone but Rishid, malik and Yugi said.

"I don't need your help faggot!"

Malik punched Jounouchi in the face. "I'm dueling whether you like it or not!" He pulled out his Millennium Item, "WE could always do this the hard way…" he sneered.

"Fine…arrogant little…"

"This will be a double duel!" Malik said while calling up to the two boys.

" Who cares? We'll beat you anyway! We are!" the two people called out. "Inspector Haga! Insect duelist extraordinaire!" the boy with glasses and light green hair said, while pulling off his cloak. "And Dinosaur Ryuzaki! The Jurassic Dinosaur duelist that,"

"…My ass has ever seen." Jounouchi finished sarcastically while he and malik climbed out of the hole. "Let's duel already!"

"Duel!" the four of them said.

H: 6000

J: 6000

D: 6000

M: 6000

Jounouchi looked at his newly drawn hand. (Gear freed the Iron knight, Skull Dice, Android Psycho Shocker, Wyvern Warrior, and Pot of Greed.) 'Not bad!' he thought.

Haga looked through his hand also. (Cocoon of Evolution, Carrier, DNA Surgery, Insect swarm, Killer Needle.) 'Yes, only one part left of the puzzle to go!' "I'll go first!" He said as he drew his card. " I set two cards face down, and summon Killer Needle (1200/1000) in attack mode!" Two face down cards appeared and a large yellow jacket appeared, with its stinger ready.

Ryuzaki looked through his hand as well. (Jurassic Heart, Mad Sword Beast, Giant Rex, Dark Dikeratops, and Hyper Hammer Head) 'Once I get my trample monster into the field, I'll be unstoppable!'

Malik also looked through his hand-making note of certain cards. (End of Anubis, Unholy calamity, Drillago, melkid- the four- faced beast, and First Coffin.)

"My turn," Jounouchi said. "I play my drawn card, Commanding Knight (1200/1900)!" A medieval looking knight- without the helmet- appeared with his sword drawn. " Next I play two face down cards." He said while ending his turn.

"I draw now (Volcano)!" Ryuzaki said. " I summon, Hyper Hammer head (1500/1200) to the field!" A small lean dinosaur appeared onto the field, his eyes were tinted red.

"Then I'll draw!" Malik said. " I summon Neudoria (1200/1000) in attack mode!" A masked zombie appeared on the field ready for a fight. "Then I'll play two face down cards."

"I equip my killer needle with 'Insect armor with laser cannon'!" Haga said while placing his newly drawn card onto his duel disk. A large laser appeared on the yellow jacket's back. "This increases his attack to 1700! Now Killer needle, attack Jounouchi!" The insect charged towards Jounouchi's monster when suddenly…

"Activate Skull Dice!" He said while a trap card lifted up to reveal itself. A little demon dropped its red die and landed on a 5. "Now Skull dice lowers your attack points by 500 points!" (Killer needle: 1200/1000) Both monsters were killed. Haga swore at losing his chance for a lead in the duel.

"My turn now!" Jounouchi said. " First I play Master of Fusion! This card allows me to take Polymerization from my deck!" He took out his card and reshuffled his deck. "Next I activate Pot of greed! This lets me draw two more cards." Jounouchi drew two more cards (baby dragon and foolish burial). "Now I activate Polymerization by fusing my baby dragon and my wyvern warrior!" The dragon grew bigger and the Alligator sat on the dragon's back. "I summon Wyvern Warrior's dragon (1700/1500)! I can attack someone directly if they have one of the following attributes! Wind, Earth, Fire, or Water! " Haga and dinosaur gulped. "Attack Haga directly!" Jounouchi commanded pointing out Haga from the other duelists. The dragon swooped down and the wyvern sliced into Haga. "Noo!" Haga said as his life points drained. (H: 4300)

"I play Mad Sword Beast (1400/1200) in attack mode!" Dinosaur Ryuzaki stated. A large triceratops like animal appeared while roaring. "Then I'll play two cards face down!" Two face down cards appeared and he ended his turn.

"My turn." Malik stated. " I summon Tomb Keeper's Spear Soldier (1500/1200) in attack mode!" A robed man with a spear appeared onto the field. "Tomb keeper's spear soldier's special effect allows me to take life points away from my opponent even if their monster is in defense mode, just like the Mad Sword Beast. " He explained. "But I feel like attacking Haga directly! Neudoria and Spear soldier! Attack with Dead man's call and the flying spear!" Again Inspector Haga's life points shortened, the spear flew straight into his small chest and the Zombie's claws ripped into his shirt, he screamed in pain from the electrical shock from the duel disk receiving its data for life point loss. (H: 1400)

"Baka!" Haga screamed to the Dinosaur duelist. "You're supposed to help me!!" He drew his card and began to laugh while looking at it. "Hee hee A ha ha ha ha! First I play insect barrier to protect my self, then I play parasite caterpillar (800/1200) in defense mode!" A small gray bug popped out of the ground. "But we don't have any monsters that are insects, loser!" Jounouchi said. 'Oooh! But one of you will!' Haga thought. Dinosaur looked at Haga's play and smiled. "So that chuubaka (super idiot) did it. Good, lots better than I expected." He muttered. "I end my turn." Haga said triumphantly.

"Go Rocket Warrior (1500/1200) in attack mode!" A warrior with part of a small rocket as its armor appeared on the field. "I'll attack your disgusting little bug as well using my Wyvern Warrior's Dragon!" The Dragon sliced the bug into two pieces. "Well now you've done it!" Haga said. " The paralyzing effect from my bug being destroyed contaminates your Wyvern Warrior's Dragon for three turns, leaving it helpless!"

"And thanks to Haga, I'll attack you Jounouchi! By sacrificing my two monsters I summon Serpent Knight Dragon (2350/2100)!" Ryuzaki said. A slender dark blue colored dragon had shown up on the field. Its screeching roar was heard as well. "Now I'll play Dragon's Treasure to increase my Dragon's power by 300 points!" A green jewel appeared in the claws of the Dragon. "Attack Rocket Warrior, Serpent Knight Dragon! Use nightmare blast!" Black energy surrounded the Rocket Warrior destroying it. (J: 4850)

"Idiot!" Malik said. "First I activate First Coffin, a trap card! This allows me to play second and third coffin! Which means I can special summon Spirit of the Pharaoh (2500/0)!" An Egyptian King's coffin appeared onto the field, followed by two other coffins. Finally, all the Coffins opened up to reveal light, which formed a Pharaoh, golden light shined behind him making his presence seem even greater. "Now, He allows me two special summon two level 2 zombies to the field. Namely Pharaoh's servant (900/0) and Pharaoh's Guardian (900/0)!" Two followers of the Pharaoh also appeared on to the field. "Now this duel will REALLY begin!"

"Holy Crap!" Jounouchi said while looking at the Great Spirit of the Pharaoh.

Score-

Haga: 1400

Jounouchi: 4850

Dinosaur: 6000

Malik: 6000
