Chapter 9
--Last Chapter--
When Iris was nearing the entrance of the city, she was thrown off the red-eyes from a sudden attack. Iris groaned, looking at the dragon to watch it disappear. She stood up and squinted her eyes through the dust that formed in front of her.
A figure walked forward, "hello, dearest sister."
Iris's eyes widen, "no, it can't be.... Nefertiti?"
Her heart pounded in her chest. Her eyes sting, though not from the smoke or the dust, but from betrayal. A burning sensation ran all through her body, her every vein, her blood. A wind, blowing from an unknown place, danced in between her fire blue hair, as her once innocent sky blue eyes now showed fire of anger and hurt.
"Why?" Iris cried out. "Why would you do this to me? To my kingdom? Why did you betray me and take side of that tomb robber?"
Nefertiti stood a few feet away from her younger sister that everyone adored. The same wind blew her brown hair away from her face. Her blue eyes showing the darkness in them. Hatred towards her sister. And an other emotion neither Nefertiti nor Iris knew what it was. Nefertiti griped a sword, the handle made of gold and rare jewels, and the blade a nice, smooth surface shown brightly from the moon above them.
"Because what father gave you should have been rightfully mine." Nefertiti gripped the sword into both her hands. "And I would surely go to any length to get it."
Nefertiti ran towards her younger sister, sword raised in the air. When she was close enough, she swung the sword down towards Iris.
--Center of the City--
The blue eyes white dragon destroyed Gaia the dragon champion. Dust followed around the blue eyes as it stood to the side of Seto.
"Why Seto?" Yami asked. "Why betray me?"
"Because I have seen you on the throne. I see weakness whenever it comes to your people. You have no right to be pharaoh."
"And you do?" Yami cried out. "Do you honestly think you can do a better job than I can?"
"Yes I can." Seto said with out hesitation.
"That ignorance would have brought you down in one day."
At that insult, Seto commanded blue eyes to attack Yami once again. Yami's eyes widen as the monster neared him for a strike.
--Old Ruins--
Shani and Tristan having no weapon with them, clasped their hands together, as if in prayer, and begin to chant under their breath, their eyes close.
Bakura merely laughed, "your chants and spells are useless with me." Bakura took out a dagger from his waist and ran towards the two, only to get reflected back from an unknown force.
"Show us the power I have taught you Tristan. For you will be my last apprentice."
Tristan walked towards Bakura, chanting a little loudly. "Evil that is present before me, and has killed innocents from this world. Banish from my sight and let thy spirit be trap in the very thing that possess your power."
A green aura glowed around Tristan, as he begun to chant in ancient language that has been dead for many years and only those who still know use it. The aura than shone down on Bakura, lifting his spirit from his body. He screamed in pain and in anger that he lost this small fight. His spirit than shrunk down to the millennium ring, trapping him inside for as long as time and destiny will bring him back out.
Tristan and Shani stopped chanting. Tristan smiled at his work and turned to Shani only to see her fall to the floor.
"Shani!"
--Near the city--
Before the sword made contact with Iris' flesh. She grabbed her glaive just in time and counter back the attack. Nefertiti stumbled back
"Not bad sister. At least you know how to hold a sword." Iris yelled, getting ready to attack if needed.
"I had a lot of practice these past years. To bad father couldn't see this. I surely regret the day I killed him for he cannot see what I have done to his little girl."
Iris stared at her sister with icy cold blue eyes, "you killed father? Our father? Who are you Nefertiti?"
"A new pharaoh who will erase you entirely."
"Not if we can help it." A voice said from behind.
Nefertiti looked back to see two cloaked people.
"Who are you? Show yourself."
They pushed their hoods back. The first one was a girl, same age as Nefertiti. While her hood came off, her blonde hair tumbled down her back. She wore many gold chokers on her neck that fell to her collarbone. Two big gold hoop earrings on either side but the right side have smaller ones going all the way up her ear. Her eyes were outlined in black and gold, her lips in a bronze color.
The second one was a boy, same age as Iris. His black hair stuck in many unusual places but kept in place, even from the wind. His neck was also covered in gold chokers that fell a little below his collarbone. His right ear had one earring that had a narrow, upside down pyramid. The left ear covered in the smaller hoop earrings.
"We are the guardians and protectors of the one who posses' the true power." said the boy.
Nefertiti only stared at him in confusion. Having the girl smirk, "I'll put it in simpler words for you. The one who holds the lost necklace has the true power. But it could only get strong when all three are in the same place and destroy the evil." As she said this, the girl held up her right wrist, and the boy held up his left both wearing gold bracelets with the same design as the necklace.
Nefertiti took in a sharp breath, "the lost bracelets."
The boy grinned in turn, "that's right. Now it's time to banish the evil you have unleashed on this kingdom. And this world."
Nefertiti cursed, than glared at Iris, "you won't get away with this sister! I assure you!" Nefertiti stood up straight, the sword vertical, the blade in front of her. She started to chant under her breath.
"Quickly, tell me your names!" Iris yelled.
"My name is Mainia." The girl yelled.
"And I'm Dukem!" The boy yelled.
"Listen, we must attack at the same time." The other two took out a pair of swords that were hidden from their cloaks. "Now!"
They ran towards Nefertiti, but not before she snapped open her eyes, making Iris gasp. Nefertiti quickly swung her sword around, an unseen force throwing them back a few feet. They hit the ground, the trio losing their weapons. Nefertiti than chanted a small spell and shielded Mainia and Dukem so they wont interfere.
Nefertiti than walked up to her sister, point the end of the sword at her heart. "Now it's time for me to take what is rightfully mine."
--Not to far away--
Makoto slashed a monster with his double-sided sword. "Will one thing is for sure, that old man in Badari all those years ago was right. This sword is only use for destroying evil. Glad I bought it."
Lei and Upton both swung their swords at the same monster, destroying it. "us too." They said in union.
Upton, Lei, Makoto, and Rai turned around to hear noises behind them. They saw the blue eyes about to attack Yami.
"Oh no!" Lei whispered.
But before anything happened, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl suddenly appeared in front of Yami, blocking the attack.
Yami stared wide eye at his and Iris' loyal friends. He than smirked at Seto, "you will pay dearly for betraying me Seto!"
Seto merely snarled and said, "blue eyes, white lighting attack!"
"Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl, dark magic attack!"
Lei, Makoto, and Upton covered their eyes as the attacks crashed together.
"No! You cannot defeat me! You will pay pharaoh! I will come back! Just you watch!" Seto yelled, than screamed in pain.
(A/N: I don't know what happens to Seto, so I'm just making this up k? Okay, back to the story!)
Once the light faded, Lei, Makoto, and Upton blinked several times to get their visions. They than saw a smiling pharaoh.
"You took everyone out for safety. Lets go help Pharaoh Iris."
"Right." The said in union.
Rai snarled, as he looked in front of him, ready to leap at the enemy. Lei, Upton, Yami, and Makoto looked forward and saw two others they did not know but they seem to be on their side. Though what they saw next shocked them, as they stared at Nefertiti in the middle.
"Princess Nefertiti is alive!" Upton exclaimed happily, running towards them, the rest following him. But stopped shortly to see a horrible sight.
"Princess Nefertiti!" Upton yelled, stopping near them.
"What are you doing?!" Lei said next to Upton. Makoto stopped shortly after him, eyes widen.
Nefertiti smiled inwardly, "please they have betrayed me. My own sister wants me dead!" Nefertiti yelled, tears in her eyes.
The men looked at Iris shocked, "there has to be a mistake! Pharaoh Iris wouldn't betray her own sister!" Lei yelled in disbelief.
"But she is! Can't you see she has others trying to kill me as well!" she held out her palm towards the boy and girl behind her. "She only wants me dead so she can keep her throne as pharaoh!"
"That is not true! She's the one who betrayed me! She killed our father!" Iris desperately looked at her bodyguards and her friends.
Rai walked in between Lei and Upton and growled at Nefertiti.
Upton narrowed his eyes, "Iris is telling the truth."
"What?" Lei and Makoto looked at Upton surprised, Iris sighed in relief.
"Yes because I strictly remember Pharaoh Ay telling me he was going to pass his kingdom to his younger daughter." Upton looked at Iris, not seeing the glare Nefertiti shot him. "I would usually leave this matter up to you, since as it concerns the royal family only. But I am not about to abandon a friend."
--Old Ruins--
Tristan held Shani, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Shani smiled weakly at him, "you have learned everything. I am no longer your master. Go and sealed the monsters back in the shadow realm and save Pharaoh Iris."
Tristan nodded, "thank you for letting me be your apprentice and learning everything I can from you."
Shani merely smiled and exhaled her last breath, her eyes going dull while her eyelids slowly closed. Tristan laid her down on the ground and kissed her forehead. He than got up and ran inside the temple.
Once inside, he looked around and saw nothing but darkness. He chanted something under his breath, the candles around him burst into flames and lit the room. It was covered in gold with old hieroglyphics. In the middle of the room was a single stone, with a crystal ball floating on top, underneath was the symbol of a pyramid, the point facing towards the entrance, and the eye of Ra in the middle of the pyramid, a circle surrounding it. Tristan walked up to it and place his hands on either side of the ball.
At first he chanted in the dead language. Than said out loud, "Gods, hear my cry! Take back those that has destroyed your lands and dare to set foot on it!"
--Nefertiti and Iris--
Lei, Upton, Makoto, Rai, and Yami were about to run forward but what they saw paralyzed them.
"Goodbye, sister." Nefertiti said, chanting a spell in a dark language.
Restore those innocent lives that have been destroyed from under their feet as they walked.
Iris screamed in pain as her soul was lifted from her body and shrunken into the lost item.
"No!" Mainia cried, as the shield disappeared.
"We were too late." Dukem said in a whisper, staring at the limp body of Pharaoh Iris.
From their attacks, having fun watching them die.
Nefertiti walked up to her sister's limp body and took off the necklace.
She raised her sword to the side, "come to me."
A person cloaked in purple, the eye of RA on a chain, tying the cloak together, came from the shadows. (A/N: Kinda like what the rare hunters wear.)
"Take this and destroy it."
Just as Nefertiti was handing the necklace over to the cloaked person, Rai jumped in between and grabbed the necklace, running from them.
"No! Go get him you fool!" Nefertiti yelled in anger, the cloaked person running after Rai.
Sent back the evil that does not belong here and put them back in their rightful place. Bring peace back to this land and for years to come. Until destiny reappears once again in time.
Yami, Lei, Makoto, Upton, Mainia, and Dukem ran behind Rai.
"We must run to the Nile River, quickly." Lei yelled, as they tried to outrun the cloaked person.
--Old Ruins--
"I will sell my soul, my memories, my life to you Gods. So this kingdom can see the next daylight. And seal the evil forever."
A bright light shone from the symbol, than covered Tristan. He screamed in pain as his soul was being taken, his memories being erased.
Every monster that was still loosed out in the city was being tugged in towards the ruins. They started to twist in a tornado like and into a black void that was in front of the entrance. Once every monster was back in the shadow realm, Tristan fell limp to the floor.
"Thank.... you... Shani." His eyes closed. As the door to the ruin temple closed forever.
--Nile River--
"We have to keep the necklace safe. Until the one who is decedent comes back." Dukem said breathlessly.
Lei took the lost necklace from Rai and handed it to Mainia. "Take it. We know we can trust you."
Mainia took it, "keep our pharaoh safe." Makoto said.
"And if she comes any sooner," Upton started, "bring her memory back of all of us.... please."
Dukem nodded, " you know it."
The group parted, going different ways. Each one taking a last, long look at their once home.
