Chapter 4: A Delude of Time
A young boy gave a sigh as he walked past one of the shops, looking casually from place to place. 'Aniba stopped him for a short amount of time, but…' His golden-brown eyes scanning here and there, 'What am I to do?' He wondered. Suddenly he stopped, his eyes narrowed as he felt a breeze pass through his streaked brunette hair. 'Oh, $#!+.' He cursed as he spun around; the shopping center seemed to melt from around him as it was replaced with an illusion of warped images of historical events here and there.
//What clouds you mind so much that I cannot read it, dear light?// As a male, who looked similar to him, appeared, however this one was older, his hair was more of a mess and he had a smirk on his face, looking exactly the same as the boy before him, yet exact opposites.
/Never you mind!/
//Watch your mouth boy! One wave of my hand, and I can wipe you from existence!// The older male said glaring. His smirk returned as he spoke, //Little Pasenture, can't even hold your own in this dimension can you?//
Pasenture just cast his glance to the ground, his fists clenching and unclenching. 'Gotta keep a closed mind, gotta keep a closed mind.'
//What was that? I didn't quite hear that?// As the male took a step forward.
/I…uh...n-nothing…/
//Just as I thought.// He then walked towards a warped image of an Ancient Egyptian-Style (or rather Kemetic) temple. He passed his hand over it and the image became clearer. He chuckled, //That little Pharaoh should be dead on the steps by now.// His eyes narrowed as he realized no one was there, //What is this?!// He turned around, malice in his eyes as he glared at Pasenture, //Who is responsible for this?// He attempted to read his mind, but Pasenture suppressed the image of a girl and concentrated on the Time Wizard instead.
/Emit, I…I d-don't know who-/
//No matter. It's no use lying to me, I already know who is responsible.// He then turned smiling, he gave a sharp whistle and a golden wand shaped object appeared; upon the handle was an engraving of the Sennen eye, and in the base was a Celtic Rune marking for the letter, 'C'. //I'll just banish her there and now, that way, in the re-written future, I will have no problems.//
/No! You can't! She- she-/
//She, along with her accursed Kaa, 'Time Wizard' will be wiped from the history of Duel Monsters!// He then vanished, along with the warped images. Pasenture looked around, and there he was once again, in the exact same spot in the Domino Shopping Complex.
'He fell for it!' Pasenture near jumped in joy, but stopped when he realized what had really happened. "Oh crap!" 'He's gone off to destroy the vessel of the Time Wizard!' He reached into his jacket and retrieved a Wand similar to that of what Emit had used. Looking around hesitantly, he whispered,
"Gods of Time, hear my plea,
help me to defeat the enemy, that who looks like the dark of me,
freeze him, bind him, to last as long as eternity."
He listened carefully, then gave a gratefully smile when he heard a voice in his head, //What the-? Damn deity fools! You haven't seen the last of me…!// Pasenture's smile faltered when he remembered the readings his father had lent him…
"…No matter how strong the bounds were, they could not contain the enemy, only delay it. Time stands still for no one…"
"Or rather for me." He mused on the quiet, the rose his Wand high in the air, "~ TIME FREEZE! ~" Starting from around him, a globe of golden-brown light erupted from the tip of the wand, and everything became frozen in time. Pasenture, then lowered his wand, and took off running, down the un-moving escalator, and out the half-closed automated door. He ran as fast as he could, but began to tire, short of breath he leant against a light post, trying to catch his breath. Suddenly, the ground beneath him began to tremble, and there was a roar of and engine. 'What the-? I thought I paused time?'
"Oh my!" He fell back in shock as a large vehicle with a gun, passed through everything and squealed a stop in front of a very shocked Pasenture. He stood up, mouth wide open, as he looked the vehicle over; it looked like a cross between a army truck and a amoured car, however, mounted on the front was a machine gun of some sort. He looked around and his glance fell on an item in his hand, in dropped it in shock. A brown coloured card fluttered to the ground as it landed face up, It was a Duel Monster card, Pasenture read the title along the top of the card aloud, "Overdrive."
There was a honk of a horn from the vehicle behind him and he assumed he was correct, next think he knew, he was tearing down the streets of Domino, when they squealed to a stop at the front door of Pasenture's house. Pasenture jumped out of Overdrive and walked to his front door and tried opening it, however the door wouldn't budge. "Damnit! I forgot that time freezes objects as well!" However, he was suddenly shoved straight through the door, by Overdrive's cannon. "How'd…?"
There was a swirl of black mist and before him appeared a female figure. "Pasenture! What the hell do you think you are doing?! I can only hold Emit for a certain amount of time, before my power is drained!"
"Aniba?"
"Yes, that's my name, don't wear it out, just get a move on!" She said as she shoved him up the stairs, towards his fathers' study. When they got there, Aniba looked around the mini-library, "You need a brown coloured book, made of leather, with black markings upon it. It should be inside of a book on animals, near the Papyri scrolls. Oh, and don't worry, it wasn't affect by time."
Pasenture didn't even bother to ask, he already knew who it was, 'Lynex.' He then walked over, as Aniba had indicated and pulled out a book on Animals, and, from within the covers fell a brown book, exactly as Aniba had described. Picking it up, he handed it over to Aniba who had changed form, she now had cat ears with tuffs on the end, a black tail, golden eyes cat-eyes and she was wearing a strange assortment of clothes, that looked like a cross between a female warrior and a magician's cloak.
"Damn human scriptures." She muttered as she flipped through the pages.
"Hey Lynex." Pasenture said as he took a seat at the table.
"Hi. I see your Yami as messed about with the fabric of time again?"
"Yup."
"Ah, here it is!" Lynex said, as she held the book out in front of her.
"Let me see." Pasenture took once glance at the page, and his face fell, "I can't read it…its in heretic." He then slumped back down in his chair.
"Nor can Aniba, and I can't either." She said, shaking her head.
"What now?"
Lynex paced the room, brown book in her hands, she then snapped her fingers, as her tail swished around. "I know!"
\\~PHORUS!!!\\ She bellowed. \\Get your ass over here if you want to save your Kingdom! ~\\
A large flame flared up, then flared down, and a figure emerged from the flames. "~ What do you want?! ~" The guy said irritated. This person looked like Heq, however was taller and looked older, he was also dressed in Pharaoh manner. In his left hand, he held a Scepter that can to his shoulder height, on the bottom was an engraving of an Ankh, the symbol of life, on the top was a small crystal globe, settled between two wings. In the center of the globe, there was a silver mist swirling around a Sennen eye symbol. He crossed his arms, glaring at Lynex.
"~ We need you to read this heretic verse out loud for us, only you can understand it."
"It's not one of your stupid spells again is it?"
"Hey! That was a side-affect from the drug that those bastard Rare Hunters used on Aniba. It took me bloody three days to recover from that, Aniba- an hour!"
"Whatever." Phorus said boredly, "Like I care. So what's the deal about my Kingdom being destroyed?"
"Emit has gone after the vessel of the Time Wizard."
"Oh, that Nahktir girl?"
"Yeh. But, if he destroys it, it will clash with this history."
"I see. Doesn't that guy ever give up?"
"I don't think so."
"Here, let's get it over with, I was in the middle of watching a soap opera in my hikari's soul room." He said as Lynex handed over the book.
"Heq has a TV in his soul room?!" Lynex screeched. Phorus just nodded, Lynex snickered. "That boy and his technology. I'd love to see the day he has to live in the Kingdom of Kemet!"
"You guys! I've been quiet this whole time, and Emit is breaking free of Aniba's bind, would you hurry it up?!" Pasenture yelled at the two.
"Fine!" Phorus said, then muttered, "Spoilt brat." He took a sigh, and began reading the heretic symbols, he chanted them three times over and the markings on the page disappeared. Lynex looked over his shoulder in confusion.
"Is that supposed to happen?"
"Yeh, once a spell has been cast, there is no need for a re-cast, so it wipes itself from the book. Here," He said as he handed the brown leather book to Lynex, "You better keep this in your soul room."
"Okay, I'll see you next time then." Lynex said in a flash of gold, and Aniba was back in control.
"Bye. ~ " Phorus said, as he disappeared in a tunnel of flame.
"Everything work out I presume?" Aniba asked.
"Weren't you watching from your soul room?"
"No. I was in Kemet, keeping Emit from re-writing history." She sighed, then motioned for Pasenture to follow her out the door, "Come on. I have to return Overdrive to the Shadow Realm, and you need to unfreeze time and meet Resu."
"I've already met him."
"Really?"
"Yeh. Luckily I was too confused for Emit to get a strong hold on my thoughts."
"Lucky." She murmured, then sat on the back of Overdrive. "Hey buddy." She said patting the bonnet; she then pulled Pasenture on a seat next to her. Overdrive gave a roar of its engine, and took off full speed to the Domino Shopping Complex, pulling to a stop in front of the doors. Aniba jumped off, followed by Pasenture. "Thanks for the favor!" She said waving as a portal opened- this portal lead directly to the Shadow Realm. The vehicle gave something like a nod, then disappeared, the portal closing behind it.
Pasenture and Aniba then both walked into a shopping center, and parted their separate ways. "Hey, meet me at McDonalds okay?"
"Alright." Pasenture called back.
"And don't unfreeze time, till I say." Pasenture nodded in confirmation as they walked off in their own direction.
Aniba assumed her place in the queue, when a voice came into her head, \Ready? \
\Yup. \ Aniba felt a flicker of Millennium Magic pass through the area, as everything returned back to its normal colour.
After the two people in front of her order, it was soon her turn. "I'd like three cokes, one water, three fries, three big Mac's and a hamburger with cheese."
"Anything else?"
"No."
"That will be $14.75." Aniba pulled out a twenty-dollar note and handed it to the man behind the counter, he gave her the change, and Aniba moved towards the side. Within five minutes, the man handed her a bag with all the food inside, then a tray with the drinks.
"Thanks." She said as she made her way back to the table, where Heq and Resu were making conversation. Aniba set the food on the table, and handed out each food and drink to them.
"Hey Aniba, back already?" Heq asked.
"Yup." She said as she sat down, unwrapping her big Mac as she took a bite into it. Resu copied this motion then spoke through a food full of mouth.
"Dis is-" He gulped down his first bite then continued, "This is good."
"Though not the best." Heq pointed out.
"It's a fast food restaurant, not a five star delicacy one." Aniba responded, drinking her coke.
Resu took the lid off the water and drunk it down.
"Hey everyone!" Pasenture said as he took a seat next to Aniba.
"Oh, hey Pasenture." Heq said looking up, Aniba nodded.
Resu near choked on his water, "I-it's you again!" Pasenture cocked his head to one side, pretending he had no idea what he was talking about.
Aniba however spoke before either could get a word in, "Hungry?" She motioned to the extra food laid out on the table.
"You knew he was coming didn't you?" Heq said eyes narrowed. Aniba just grinned in response. Heq gave a sigh and rolled his eyes, "Typical!"
************************
A/N: Did you like this chapter? I thought I had better introduce Emit in, otherwise, it would get too confusing if they kept referring to him as Pasenture's dark. Well, at least you can get the idea of who is behind all of this mess, and who the 'Millennium Duelists' are. Next chapter will be some reflection, as to the cause of the destruction… ah! I don't want to spoil it.
Thanks to Ente for reviewing! ^_^ It's always nice to see you.
Please Read and Review! R&R
