Q&A
Voakands- Well Yami and Marik are exhausted, occupied at the moment, and plus, they have no knowledge of such things. If they don't know what to look for, they won't find it. Bakura remembers that frightening power, so it was like getting hit by a live wire.
AN: The final part in the Amelia vs Kaiba duel! How will Kaiba get out of this one! Read and Review people!
Act 1: Hymn to Dusk
Chapter 5 Overcome
As Kaiba sank into the dirt, he felt his steely resolve melting. Her dueling strategies had strung him along from the start! As she continued mocking him, he thought about giving up. Then he realized that if he did that, he would never forgive himself. He was Seto Kaiba for God's sake! He had always fought for everything he had, and earned it all! He would not be defeated in the dirt! He would win, or go down fighting! As he lifted himself up, his eyes became as they were when the duel began. Icy, with a cool determination to win.
"I will not be driven to the dirt by you! I will win this duel!" Kaiba declared, his resolve hardening as he stared at the face of his opponent. She merely smirked, and told him it was his turn. "I draw!"
--At the Museum—
Everyone's minds were reeling from the information. Ancient evil, so terrible that it devastated the world. 'Great. Can't we live 6 months without an archenemy?' Yugi thought. 'Must be the whole 'chosen one' deal. Still. I wouldn't trade the puzzle for anything Yami.'
"Okay. Now we need to see how the prophecy relates to this." Marik said. "What prophecy?" Bakura asked. "Me and Marik had a dream." They told him the prophecy, seeing as how he told them about the war of Chaos. Bakura's eyes widened. "Hmmm... riddle solving is not my thing. My vessel wants to help anyway." The ring glowed, and Ryuo was there. They greeted him, and they got to work on the prophecy.
--Back to Kaiba—
"I play my own Pot of Greed!" As Kaiba he prepared draw 2 more cards, he felt the spiritual part of him, the part he ignored, come alive as he prayed to whatever power was listening, to let him win. He looked at the cards he drew. 'I can't get past her monsters, but maybe there's another way.' He thought. "First I'll play Harpie's Feather Duster! It blows away your magic and trap cards!" A gust appeared and Amelia winced as her traps were blown away. "Next I'll place 2 cards face down. And switch my remaining monsters to defense mode, and now my turn is over." He said imperiously.
Amelia smirked, and drew her card. "This has been far to easy Seto Kaiba. The rumors obviously exaggerate your abilities." She jabbed, but Kaiba ignored it. "I'll summon another Shining Angel. Shining angel attack his Lord of Dragons!" The Lord of dragons disappeared under a burst of bright light. "Next, D.D. Warrior Lady! Attack his Mystic Tomato!" As the lady slashed it, Kaiba laughed. "Now I can summon another monster to the field, just like you fool!" "Not so fast Kaiba! I use D.D. Warrior Lady's special ability! She can remove herself and the monster she is currently in combat with from the game! So no tomato effect for you!" Amelia laughed, obviously reveling in the fact that she was about to win the duel.

"Hey! I got something!" Yugi said. "Torment's child, that refers to Obelisk. But who's his child?" "Maybe it means someone with a bad past?" Ryuo suggested. "Who do we know had a rough childhood and has an affiliation with Obelisk?" Marik said. "Kaiba!" The group exclaimed. "Okay, one down." After a few more minutes, Ryuo realized something. "Dragon... Ra is already referred to in the next passage. So that must refer to Slifer the Sky Dragon!"
"Hey... hunter. Rare hunter!" Joey exclaimed. "Marik, it means you!" Marik's eyes widened. "Wait. So I'm a Guardian?" "Makes sense. Tomb keeper and all. And I think Kaiba was the High Priest in his previous life, right Ishizu?" Yugi asked. Ishizu nodded. "Let's guess who the Pharaoh and Ra's light is?" Bakura said sarcastically, having returned to make a few snide comments before. "Yami." The group said.
"Wait. But Yugi's the light side. Maybe it means both of us?" Yami said. "Possibly." Marik responded. "Now...what's Dusk on Light's last day?" Ryuo asked. "Wait. Ishizu. Isn't the traditional month of Light for Egypt this month?" Marik responded." (AN: It's not true. I have no idea. I'm taking a few liberties.) Ishizu nodded. "Wait...but the last day of it is Sunday?" "Crap! That gives us 2 days to prepare!" Bakura said.
"Prepare for what?" Tea asked. Bakura rolled his eyes and as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, "War."
The whole room froze. They remembered the horrors Bakura told them. "Well, not so much most of you. Just the Pharaoh, Marik, Ishizu, myself, and anyone else who can wield shadow magic." Bakura pointed out. "There must be a way for us to help." Tristan said. "Maybe you could teach us?"
"No, foolish mortal. You need a millennium item. I'm pretty sure that if you returned the necklace to Ishizu, she might be able to make use of it." Bakura said. Ishizu nodded, and asked "Do you have it with you Yugi?" Yugi shook his head. "It's in the safe with the god cards."
"A safe!?" Bakura and Marik exclaimed. "Why the devil would you put the most powerful cards in existence in a safe?" Marik questioned. "They are your birthright." "I know, but I'd rather use my strategies and not rely heavily on them." Yugi pointed out. "Okay, if we must prepare for war, then I suggest you give Pegasus back his Millennium eye." Bakura's eye's widened. "You could just give it to him, then get it back. We need as many wielders of Shadow Magic to beat back the enemy." Bakura seemed in thought. "I'll go contact him later." And so the first seeds of resistance were formed in that basement. Still, Tristan, Tea, Joey, and Serenity wanted to see if they could wield shadow magic. They'd be damned if they were going to let their friend face this alone.
--Back to Kaiba—
Amelia was having a good day. She was picked out of the Harbingers to attack the Guardian of Spirit. And she was winning. She cackled evilly and said, "It ends here Kaiba. Prepare yourself for destruction!" The Chaos Necromancer charged up, and Amelia's eyes shined in triumph.
"NOT SO FAST AMELIA!" Kaiba yelled. She started, and stared at him. "I still have my face down cards. These will bring you to your knees!" She stared at him in shock.. "I activate my Ring of Destruction!" Suddenly a ring of grenades surrounded the Chaos Necromancer.
Amelia laughed. "That will only destroy you! If you wanted to destroy yourself, go ahead! I didn't know you were the suicidal type!" "I'm not." Kaiba replied coldly, and in that moment, the Necromancer exploded.
When the dust cleared, Amelia was laughing still. She laughed. The fool didn't understand what losing to a warrior of Chaos meant! But her laughter died as she saw the outline of Kaiba, standing defiantly.
"What! That's impossible! Once you lost this duel, you were supposed to be dead!" Amelia declared. Kaiba started at dying after losing the duel, but he ignored it. "How did you survive!" She demanded. As the dust cleared, there was another card in front of Kaiba. "I guess you forgot about my other face down card. Barrel Behind the Door not only protects me from the damage from ring of destruction, but sends it back at you!" He laughed. "I guess your monsters can't protect you now!"
Amelia stared in shock, and her eyes widened. But then her eyes hardened. Kaiba did not notice this and he roared "Barrel Behind the Door! Fire Now!" A gun appeared from the card, and fired a blast that destroyed her. Suddenly, he remembered that losing cost you your life. He looked over at her and strode over. He felt her neck as she lay still. She was dead. Kaiba looked in shock at what he had done. Suddenly, a soft clapping was heard.
Kaiba spun around, and saw a black robed figure staring at him, his head hooded, but not over the eyes. But he couldn't see any eyes. There was no twinkle or shine that told of eyes. "Who are you?!" He demanded. "I am Erym. And we will meet again, Torment's Child." And with that, he disappeared.
AN: Woohoo. First duel done. And so the black eyed man's identity is revealed. Can they stop his plans? Review please!.
