Author notes: Hi, yes it's me Winterdancer87. Who else?? Anyway, I couldn't think about a good introduction for this chapter. So, I guess I would just be direct to the point, eh?? However if anyone who would have a good introduction for me, please suggest it in your reviews. That would help me a great deal. Basically I'm really sorry about the last chapter. Ok, I was mean... BUT, I am not an Anzu hater ok? She's one of my favorite characters in Yu-gi-oh............
Thanks for the reviews.......... They mean A LOT to me!
Warning:
Rating was supposed to be PG-13... however it might be wrong because I don't know how to differentiate the ratings......... Forgive me for my ignorance...
Disclaimer:
I do not own Yu-gi-oh but Egyptian Nights is mine....
Flashbacks:
"Here's the plan. We wait. My guess is that the guards are biding their time. They might be just somewhere behind this convoy ........."
. . . .
"Have patience my lord ......... I assure you. The guards we sent for that purpose are the finest and the most capable imperial guards themselves. The bandits would certainly be taken care of. Not to worry."
. . . .
"I would watch my mouth if I were you, pharaoh......... because one day sire, everything you have will be mine, one day, I swear to the gods that it would be so, one day.........."

Chapter 2: Slowly, the Story Unfolds.........

"Help!"
She saw herself running away from the monster, that monster. She could hear him laughing. He was near her, very near. Then, she tripped. She turned herself around and saw HIM!! She backed away. She felt his hand touch her cheek. There was nothing she could do. She saw him getting closer and closer. Her eyes opened wide with fear.........
"Help me Isis, please..."
Then, someone had appeared in between the monster and her. His tall and well-built body was there, protecting her from the monster. Both men drew out their swords and the swords clashed in a battle. They fought for a long time. Then, suddenly one of the swords was knocked out.........
"NO!!"
She cried out. Why? Hopelessness drowned her. Anzu woke up at once. Was it his sword that had been knocked away? She did not manage to see. She hoped not but.........
'Please, Isis, this is all just a bad dream. Let it pass, please let it pass.'
'Let it pass....'
.
'Let it pass....'
.
'Let it pass....']
.
'Let it pass...."
.
'Let it pass....'

'Let it pass....'

'It had been one horrible nightmare...'
Princess Anzu woken up from her sleep. Looking around, she saw no one. Mai was indeed not around. She was at the palace having some important matters to be dealt with the pharaoh. She was still much shaken by that horrible dream.
'Pegasus...'
However, it was impossible. HE was the vizier. HE would never do such a terrible thing.
'It's just a dream.... Nothing else....'
Princess Anzu was wide-awake now although still quite distraught by the whole thing, she is trying her best to take it as a horrible nightmare. Taking a comb from her bedside table, she began combing her long auburn colored hair.
'No one is in my room.... Hmmm.... Perhaps I could just....'
A mischievous plan was forming in her head............. slowly erasing the events of the dream altogether.

At the pharaoh's palace.........
.
.
.
.
"Are you sure that those two can be trusted?"
"Yes, pharaoh. They're my friends."
"I see."
At that moment, two noblemen entered the chamber. Seto took a glance at them. They bowed in his presence. He lifted his hand acknowledging them and allowing them to stand.
' What is MAI doing with the pharaoh?' Jouno looked in disbelief at Mai and then at the pharaoh and back at Mai again. He felt his heart dropped to the ground. It couldn't be... Impossible! He and Mai were going steady at the moment. She would never.........
"Oww!!"
Honda had stepped on Jouno's foot on purpose. He had been wondering why Jouno had been standing so stiff. His best friend, instead of thanking him, glared back angrily instead with a look, which says......... "Why-do-you-do- that-for?" Honda shrugged in reply.
"You must be Jouno and Honda and if I'm not mistaken, Mai's friends, right?"
Both noblemen only nodded in reply. (Jouno was glaring at the pharaoh.........)
"Follow me."
Meanwhile.........
Horses stormed across the sands and on horseback; there were three magnificent riders. Each eyes gleamed with pure spirit. They were confident, too confident in fact, too sure that they would be successful. Little did they know that something was lying in store for them. That something was what that changed their lives and destinies... Forever.
"BANDITS! UP AHEAD!!"
"OUT WITH YOUR SWORDS!!"
The soldiers formed a barrier like structure with their horses, in front of the merchants. Yugi smirked. 'Do they really think that this would work?' As in on cue, Ryou took out his bow and arrows. Taking four arrows in one hand and his bow in the other he aimed and fired.
' 1 down 2... 3... and......... 4... I guess I haven't lost my touch.'
Malik, on the other hand, chose the method of fist-to-fist battle. A soldier raised his sword but too bad; he was WAY too slow for Malik. In a blink of an eye, Malik had evaded the attack and knocked out the weapon from the soldier's hand. One punch was all it took and the soldier lay dead on the ground. '(In disbelief) Wow, one punch! Not bad. Not bad at all. I should have gone a little softer on that punch. This is too easy.'
Yugi held a saber in his hand. He drove his horse to where the merchants were. There, five soldiers with their swords out were standing there; ready from him. Suddenly, both the horse and its rider had disappeared right in front of the soldiers. There was a quick flash of light and it was like lightning. All five soldiers stood there astonished, their eyes blinking wide open trying to figure out where Yugi was.
That was the last thing that they ever saw because next, they became aware that their bodies had been slashed across. They looked behind and saw the merchants and in front of them were the young man who had disappeared a while ago. He did not even bother to turn to see, if he had been successful in his attack......... merely because he knew he had. One by one the soldiers fell down. By then, both Malik and Ryou had joined Yugi...

Back at the palace of the pharaoh...
.
.
.
Seto reached his right hand at the armrest of his throne and lifted it up. Suddenly, the throne stirred and shook. It backed away from its original place and revealed a small gap underneath. Mai, Jouno and Honda gasp. Seto showed no signs of surprise or whatsoever. The gap had uncovered a route of staircases going down from the king's chamber.
The pharaoh led the way as Mai, Jouno and Honda followed quietly behind. They went a few steps down before the gap closed from behind. It became dark for a while. Mai fidgeted. If there is one thing she was afraid of, it is the fear for darkness. She clung close to Jouno who was next to her.
Jouno felt surprise when he felt someone leaning against his shoulder but he knew whom the person was. His feelings lifted a bit. 'There was nothing between them after all. It was just a silly thought. I should have known better.'
After a while, the floor became flat again. Seto took his hands out and clapped twice. Green lights filled up the darkness that engulfed them a while ago, revealing a huge hall. The hall had four walls surrounding it and on that were rows and rows of hieroglyphics.
Mai, Jouno and Honda read the first few lines of the writing and their eyes widen, horror-struck at what they had read.........
End of Chapter 2....
SOooo, How was it, bad, dull, boring, whatever... Review ok... Just to let me know what you the readers think about it.... Even if you did fall asleep, I would be glad to hear that someone had at least bothered to read this.....
Why?? Well it's simple... no reviews means that this story is hardly worth writing about. So, if you think that I should continue writing Egyptian Nights.... do review.... if none comes in by the month... I guess....... (sob...) I'll have to delete this..... But I don't want to do that so PLEASE, PLEASE review, yes I am begging.....
All right, I was just kidding about the begging but I'm serious about the deleting part..... (Sounds like blackmail.... maybe.... it is.) However I'm sure none of us would like to write something which people hate right???
The part about Princess Anzu's dream..... Yes... IT IS A DREAM.... JUST A DREAM.....
P.s. Can someone help me do a summary for this story? I did try doing it but the outcome is so terrible. So, I guess I'll just put in a flashback as the summary.... Would that be ok?? So, Ta Ta till next time!
