Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh:
The four duelists placed their cards in their appropriate deck slots before drawing five cards a piece.
"Lets Duel!!!" all four cried out at the same time.
Chapter 7:
Sai: 4000 Kaiba: 4000
Malik: 4000 Draco: 4000
"Well I think the challengee's should go first," Malik said.
"Very well, Draco begin," Kaiba told his partner.
Draco looked at his first five cards; Celtic Guardian, Man-Eater Bug, Giant Soldier of Stone, Darkhole, Axe of Despair. He then drew his next card, Trap Hole.
"I lay one card in defense (Giant Soldier of Stone 1300/2000) and one face down card and end my turn," Draco said.
"I draw one card and activate Soul Exchange on your defense card and Summon Labyrinth Wall 0/3000 in defense. Next I activate Yellow Luster Shield which will increase the defense of mine and my partners monster's defenses by 300 points," Sai said, "Next I lay two cards face down."
Kaiba frowned at the wall now protecting his opponents before drawing his next card, "I lay one card down and summon Battle Ox 1800/1500 in attack mode and I end."
A large Ox in armor appeared in front of him growling at his opponents. Malik drew his sixth card and contemplated his move for a moment.
"Today Ishtar would be nice," Kaiba said snidely.
"Oh quiet, I lay one card in defense (Man With Wdjat 1600/1600) and two face down cards and end my turn," Malik said.
Draco drew his card and frown, "Hmm… I summon Celtic Guardian 1400/1200 in attack mode and equip him with Axe of Despair +1000. Celtic Guardian attack his face down card with Guardian Blade Slash."
Maliks Man With Wdjat appeared and then shattered in a burst of light. The Egyptian frowned deeply before his insane grin appeared on his face once again.
"I end," Draco said as the play was turned to Sai.
Sai drew her card and grinned at her good-luck, "I lay one card in defense (Amazoness Fighter 1300/1300) and end my turn."
"I summon Kaiser Sea Horse 1700/1650 in attack mode to the field. Now attack Sai's face down card with Mystical Trident Blast," Kaiba directed.
An Amazon woman appeared on the field and kneeled in front of Sai a scowl on her face. Kaiba just glared at the girl before ending his turn. Malik drew his next card and saw his Gemini Elf.
"I summon Gemini Elf 1900/900 to the field in attack mode. I also activate Jam Breeding Machine. Gemini Elf attack his Battle Ox, Twin Slash Attack."
The taller elf ran at the Battle Ox taking it down, followed by the smaller one who finished the ox off in a burst of light. Malik laid one more card down in his M/T (magic/trap) zone before ending. Draco drew his card and directed his monster to attack Sai's Amazoness Fighter. She watched at the woman fighter was destroyed and scowled deeply at the other duelist. She drew her card Pot of Greed. Sai drew two more cards and saw exactly what she needed.
"First I play Fusion Gate and offer Dark Magician and Buster Blader to Fuse together and bring out Dark Paladin 2900/2400. I also equip him with Gravity Axe Grarl +500. Because it's a fusion I cannot attack yet and end," Sai said as her warrior glared at Draco and Kaiba.
"Hey Yugi, have you ever seen Dark Paladin before?" Ryou asked the smaller duelist.
"No I haven't, but I think there's more to that card then what we see," Yugi commented.
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see," Ryou said watching as the duel continued to progress.
/Bakura…/ Ryou asked his other as a sinking feeling began in his stomach.
//What…// he said annoyed.
/Do you feel that? Something is coming and it is giving me an ominous feeling/ Ryou told him.
//Give me a break. I do not feel a thing…// he said.
/Are you sure?/ Ryou asked again.
//I am positive, now go away// Bakura said closing the mind link.
'I know something is not right,' Ryou thought to himself.
He turned his attention back to the duel and realized that they are still at a stand still. Yugi was rubbing his temples as if a headache was plaguing him.
"Yugi are you okay?" Ryou asked concerned.
"Hunh? Oh yeah, I'm okay," he said before watching the duel again.
/Yami?/ Yugi asked.
//Yes Hikari?// Yami responded.
/Something's wrong. I'm getting a migrane from dark magic closing in. It's mixing in with someone's Shadow Magic/ Yugi told the spirit.
//I do not feel anything// he said.
/Okay, now that's strange. Unless it is zeroing in on the item holders only/ Yugi suggested.
//Perhaps, plus we will just have to wait for whatever it is to show itself…
but now I think the duel is about to get interesting// Yami said.
The duel indeed had take an interesting turn. It was Draco's turn and he drew his next card.
"I activate the Black Luster Ritual and offer my Darkfire Soldier #1 and my Roulette Barrel to bring out the Black Luster Soldier 3000/2500 in attack mode," Draco called out, "Now I end my turn."
Sai rubbed her temple trying to concentrate on the duel through her pounding headache, "I activate Swords of Revealing Light which prevents either of you two from attacking and end my turn."
Kaiba drew his next card also feeling a headache at the edge of his vision, "I tribute Kaiser Sea Horse and use his effect to bring out my Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Next I activate Polymerization to fuse the remaining two Blue-Eyes with mine on the field to bring out the almighty Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon 4500/3800. I also play Swords of Revealing Light."
Marik drew his card and passed not able to do anything. Draco also drew and passed once, again Sai drew her card and looked at her cards. She frowned when she saw nothing of interest. She passed when she saw that she couldn't attack. Kaiba drew his card and then activated Heavy Storm.
"Now I equip my Ultimate Dragon with Malevolent Nuzzler +700 and Black Pendant +500 increasing him another 1200 attack points…Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon 5700/3800 attack Dark Paladin 5400/2800 with Neutron Blast," Kaiba shouted out.
Dark Paladin tried to block the attack but was blown into oblivion. Sai couldn't believe her Dark Paladin had been destroyed. Mokuba was cheering on Seto as he continued his commentating. Just as Draco was about to draw a card Malik, Sai, and Kaiba collapsed onto the ground. Yugi and Ryou ran onto the playing field and met with some type of barrier preventing them from getting to the duelists beyond it. Draco was watching in concern, as he deactivated his duel disk and ran to Malik's side. The Egyptian boy was out cold, but what the real concern was is the fact that he was freezing to the touch. Sai and Kaiba were also the same way
Professor Dumbledore tried to break through the barrier without luck. As the other teachers continued to barrage the barrier with spells, a disembodied voice began laughing maniacally. The students present felt a cold hand brush the back of their necks at the sound. The voice continued to laugh.
"All house heads take the students inside. Quickly," Dumbledore said.
The field cleared quickly leaving only Professor Dumbledore, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Yugi, and Ryou. The Headmaster only glanced at the students left on the field before focusing on the barrier. Yugi and Ryou could not get near the field without also befalling the same fate as the others.
"Mudblood lover, their power will be mine to control. The young Egyptian boy intrigues me the most. His power is by far the most useful at the moment," the cold disembodied voice said, "But soon all will fall to the will of Lord Voldemort."
"Voldemort release them. They are only children. They do not even know of who you are," Dumbledore said.
"They are much older and more powerful then you think," Voldemort said, "Isn't that right Pharaoh."
//Yugi, what is going on?// Yami asked.
/I do not know, but we cannot get near the playing field without becoming ill/ Yugi told the spirit, /We have to break through the barrier and soon./
//We need to… Wait Bakura can assist us. I hate having to ask for his help, but we have no choice// Yami said.
/I'll do it/ Yugi told the Pharaoh.
:: Bakura :: Yugi said in ancient Egyptian.
:: What do you want…:: he growled obviously annoyed.
:: Will you assist in trying to break the barrier? :: Yugi asked.
:: What kind of cocky-mainy idea has the Pharaoh thought up now… :: Bakura inquired.
:: Tomb Robber, watch yourself :: Yami said appearing in spirit form.
:: Why? :: Bakura bluntly asked.
:: If not I will send you to the Shadow Realm :: Yami said.
:: Okay, you know Pharaoh, that threat is getting old :: the thief said in a bored tone.
Yami launched himself at the thief forgetting he was in spirit form. He went through Bakura and fell onto the ground.
:: Ite, that hurt :: Yami said absently.
:: If you two are don't I think we have bigger problems to deal with :: Yugi said glaring at both spirits.
:: What does the whelp suggest :: Bakura inquired.
:: I suggest maybe a strong magic blast from our items into the barrier may overload it and allow them to escape :: Yugi said.
:: It can't hurt to try :: the Tomb Robber said.
:: Good :: Yami said taking over Yugi's body.
The two ancient spirits stood in front of the barrier, just outside of the draining magical field. They concentrated on firing a blast of Shadow Magic into it to free the others. Soon the barrier weakened momentarily before shattering into a million bursts of light. Madame Pomfrey as well as Professor McGonagall rushed back onto the playing field in time to see the barrier get destroyed. Yami and Bakura wavered on their feet before collapsing to the ground in exhaustion.
"Madame Pomfrey, I believe these students are in need of your immediate attention," Professor Dumbledore said.
"Of course. We need to get them to the hospital wing," Madame Pomfrey said.
With that she summoned five stretchers and placed each unconscious teen on one. As she left with them Draco was left puzzled on the playing field. He grabbed the fallen duel disks before heading back to the school. Harry ran to catch up to the Slytherin teen, Hermione and Ron following close behind.
"Draco wait up," Harry called out.
Draco stopped to let the trio catch up, "What's up?"
"Do you know what happened down there?" Harry asked.
"Nope, not a clue actually," Draco said, "But I intend to find out.
"Can- can we assist you?" Ron asked nervously.
"So you over yourself now," Draco said cooly.
(AN: look who's been taking lessons from Seto Kaiba on how to belittle some one who annoys you, sorry back to the story)
"Yes. I've been a… a …" Ron stumbled trying to find the exact words to describe how he behaved.
"Baka…" Draco offered.
"Huh?" Ron asked confused.
"It's Japanese for stupid, idiot…" Draco said, "You kind of pick up some words when you hang out with Ryou and Malik. Most though I won't repeat in the presence of a lady."
"Okay… so what do we do now?" Hermione asked.
"We figure out what Voldemort meant by "ancient power"" Draco said.
"Oh no there goes my weekend," Ron moaned.
"Oh quiet," Hermione said, "We'll meet you in the library."
Hermione drug the complaining Ron from the courtyard and into the school. Harry just rolled his eyes at them before following. Draco decided to stop by the hospital wing first to drop off the duel disks and see how his friends were. As the Slytherin teen came into the school's main entrance, his baby brother showed up. Draco felt himself become terrified at the sight of his relation. Propheus smiled evilly, looking just like a cat who cornered a mouse.
"Oh look at what we have here. A little lost kitten without his friends to protect him," Propheus said snidely, "So does the kitten want to play with the big dogs…"
"Propheus I do not want any trouble. I am just trying to get to the hospital wing," Draco said.
Propheus laughed dryly before snapping his fingers. Crabbe and Goyle stepped behind Draco, sufficiently surrounding him on all sides. The teen tried to side step his brother, but was stopped as a hand grabbed the sleeve of his robe. He shrugged it off and turned to face his tormentors.
"Just leave me be," Draco said.
"Hmm… impertinence now. How interesting. How about we teach him a lesson he'll never forget," Propheus said.
Draco ducked just as Goyle's fist came flying at his face. He tried to run from the two larger boys, but Crabbe just grabbed him around the waist. Draco's arms were pinned to his side by the others bulky arms. He struggle to free himself, but it was all in vain. Goyle punched him in the stomach drawing a pained shout from Draco. Propheus watched in interest as the large Slytherin bully used his brother as a punching bag. Draco was slowly slipping into unconsciousness when he heard someone's approaching footfalls. Propheus heard them as well and motioned for them to drop the bleeding teen. The three Slytherin's quickly disappeared down the dungeon stairs as a man in a turban and robe stepped into the entrance hall.
He kneeled down next to Draco before using a transport spell to take them to his room. Shadi laid the boy onto the couch and began treating his injuries. About an hour later Draco opened his eyes and noticed he was in a warm room. He sat up and began exploring the room, noticing most of the books on the shelves were either in hieroglyphs or Arabic. There were also some scrolls scattered across an ancient oak desk. One of which was open had Yugi's necklace on it. Draco hazarded a closer look and saw that it also had the ring Ryou wore as well as the gold stick Malik liked to hit people with.
'I wonder what this means. I mean these scrolls have got to be ancient,' Draco thought to himself, 'I just wish I can read this like Yugi can.'
Draco moved a scroll and saw another scroll similar to the one before. Only this one had a drawing of two people and what also looked like duel monsters. The Slytherin looked closer and saw one of them was an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh and the other a High Priest. They seemed to be dueling each other.
'Hmm… the Pharaoh looks awfully like Yugi… and the High Priest is… Seto?!' Draco thought shocked.
"It is very poor manners to look though someone's personal property without permission, Mr. Malfoy," a soft male voice said.
Draco turned to see a robed Egyptian behind him, his dark hair falling in his eyes, "Sorry… I was curious is all. See no harm done."
"How do you feel Mr. Malfoy?" he asked.
"Much better, thank you," Draco said, "If I may ask, who are you?"
"One of your new professors. I am Shadi, but call me Professor Shadi please," Shadi said.
"So I think I should leave now before my friends worry about me," Draco stated, "Thank you for helping me, but…"
"Of course. But I must ask you not to delve into searching for the answers you seek," Shadi began, "For they will come to you in time. Halloween shall be an enlightening time for all."
"Okay, but what about my friends?" pondered Draco.
"Not even they can know about what you have seen. It is for your own safety," he said, "Now when you leave the room go to your left and you will see the hospital wing."
"Thank you," Draco said before leaving the room.
Shadi disappeared from the study and sought out Ishizu. He saw her in the hospital wing next to her brother's bed. He stepped to her side and waited. The Egyptian woman looked up to the man, unfallen tears shimmering in her eyes.
"Shadi, I did not even foresee this," she said quietly, "The necklace no longer reacts to my presence."
"I do not believe that is the case. It is darker magic that is smothering out our own. This Dark Lord has ways to steal and block the Sennen Items magic," he explained, "The situation is even more dire than we first thought."
"The children are still in danger then," Ishizu said, "How do we protect them?"
"I do not know, but he only knows who they are when they tap into their Shadow Magic though," Shadi said.
"But we cannot prevent them from using it because that is their core magic," Ishizu told him, brushing a stray hair from Malik's forehead.
"I know, that is why I have come to teach. I shall teach them to properly deflect certain spells and how to tell what spell is being cast upon them," he said, "But I must go. I believe young Mr. Malfoy is on his way here."
"Shadi, Draco was in the last vision I had. He shall be the pillar that they are going to need. He, like Seto Kaiba, has a natural born tendency for Shadow Magic," Ishizu explained, "And somehow he shall separate the spirits from the children."
"Yes I know, but now we must not fret about that. In the end light shall prevail," Shadi said turning to head out.
Yugi opened his eyes and locked onto a pair of blue ones, "Shadi…"
"My Pharaoh, I hope you are feeling better than before," he said walking to Yugi's bedside.
"Hai, I am. But why are you here? Is it another 'You must save the world from evil' speech," Yugi said in a very un-Yugi like manner.
Shadi just shook his head, "No I am a professor here. And I shall see you Monday morning."
At that he left the hospital wing. Yugi just stared at where he once stood. The amethyst eyed duelist saw the other Sennen item holders and Sai passed out on their own respectable beds. He stood and went to Ishizu's side. Malik was stirring ever so slightly before going still once again. Mokuba came running in, Draco close behind.
"Niisama…" he cried out running to the bedside, "Come on wake up please."
"Mokuba, don't shout," Seto said weakly from the bed.
"Niisama!" Mokuba cried out again, this time hugging him tightly.
"Mokuba let go. You're choking me," Seto said.
"Sorry…" Mokuba said sheepishly as he let go.
"Hello," Draco said, "Here's your duel disk and deck."
"Arigato, Draco," Seto said sitting up slowly.
//Hikari, are you feeling okay// High Priest Seto asked.
/Better than I was. Only a headache remains/ Seto responded.
//Good. I was worried for a moment that you would not wake// he said.
/Hunh?! What do you mean? couldn't you just go into my soul room and check?/ Seto inquired.
//I would of, but it sealed itself// he responded.
/Oh… well thank you for your concern, but I must return to the land of the waking/ Seto said.
"Kaiba are you alright?" Yugi asked when he saw him awake.
"Hai, just a lingering headache is all," Kaiba said.
"I feel like I have a hangover," Malik said from his bed after waking up.
"And how would you know what a hangover feels like young man," Ishizu said suddenly.
Malik looked at his sister, horror written across his face, "Um… well you see whan I was with… um … them I went out drinking and … um … got drunk…"
"Malik Osiris Ishmael Anubis Ishtar you and I will be having a serious talk about underage drinking once you are out of this infirmary," Ishizu said angrily.
"Please sister I've learned my lesson, honest. I won't touch another alcoholic beverage until my wedding," he said pleading with her.
"When you get released come to my room and that's final," she said, "And now that you are awake I must go and prepare next weeks lessons."
At that she left the room, leaving the teens alone to talk.
"So who's left to wake up?" Malik asked.
"Sai and Ryou. And I expect him to be in a bad mood when he does wake," Kaiba said.
"No actually I am in a chipper mood," Ryou said suddenly.
:: He is in his soul room sulking. :: Ryou told the item holders in Arabic.
:: Why is he sulking? :: Malik asked.
:: Don't ask me. I have quit figuring him out. It gives me a headache :: Ryou said.
:: Um… guys I think that Draco is getting creeped out :: Yugi said suddenly.
"Sorry Draco-kun," Yugi said, "So do we know when we are getting out. I hate hospitals."
"When I feel you are okay to go," Madame Pomfrey said.
"But…" Seto began to protest.
"Mr. Kaiba I will not take any arguments. Now I believe that you may leave in the morning. Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Kaiba I feel you should leave to allow them to rest," she told them before returning to her office.
"Night Seto," Mokuba said.
"Bye guys. I'll be by in the morning," Draco said leaving the room.
"Okay guys now that he is gone, what went down there?" Kaiba asked.
"From what I gathered, Voldemort is after us because of our Shadow Magic," Ryou said.
"And he is most interested in you, Malik," Yugi said.
"Me?! Why?!" he said shocked.
"Because of the rod and it's magic," Kaiba answered for Yugi.
"Mind control…" Malik muttered.
"Yup. So now what do we do? I mean it's only one week in and already have evil wizards after the items. I mean like the Tomb Robber wasn't bad enough," Yami said as he sat on Yugi's bed in spirit form.
"Shut it, Pharaoh no Baka," Bakura said materializing next to Ryou.
"I think we should just wait and see what will happen," Kaiba said before laying down.
"Of course you'd say something like that. You don't have an item," Marik said snidely glaring at the CEO.
"That's because you're Hikari now possesses it," the High Priest said appearing.
"Okay, there are officially too many spirits out," Malik said, "And besides I agree with Kaiba this time. We should just play it by ear and see what will happen."
"Fine," Marik sneered before returning to Malik's mind.
Soon all the spirits vanished leaving their tired Hikari's to go back to sleep. Sai cracked open an eyelid and saw everyone asleep on their beds. She stared up at the ceiling running what was said through her mind.
'Yugi, Malik, Ryou, and Seto all have spirits residing within their minds,' though Sai to herself, 'Hmm. It seems three of them also possess Sennen Items. I wonder if my item also contains a spirit. I think I will go find Shadi. I think he'll be the one to tell me.'
Sai made sure that Madame Pomfrey and the other inhabitants of the hospital wing were asleep before sneaking from her bed. The quiet movements got the attention of Yami and he phased out of the puzzle in time to see Sai leaving the room. He followed her quickly, unsure as to why she was sneaking out so late at night. He saw her pause in front of a tapestry and watched as she moved it aside to expose a hidden door. She went in without knocking, drawing Yami's curiosity further to the surface. He went to the door and walked through it and saw Sai searching the room for something.
Sai went to a bookcase and began to pull on random books until one triggered a secret panel to open up. She went through the newly opened door and into a dimly lit study. She began looking at the scrolls on the desk focusing in on one in particular. Yami crept closer to the girl.
"I know you have been following me, Spirit," she said suddenly startling the ex-Pharaoh.
"How did you know?" Yami asked walking up to her.
"Because you carry the same aura as my brother… oh never mind," Sai said.
"You're brother?" Yami questioned, "Do you mean Yugi?"
"I said never mind," Sai said sharply, beginning to shuffle through the desk, "Now where would he hide it… Damn it Shadi, why would you and him hide something like this from me and then suddenly throw me into this world."
Yami looked confused for a moment before taking on a solid form, "What do you mean?"
"All this. This magic, Sennen Items, Dark Lords… this. I just don't know if I can handle being hunted like some kind of animal I all," Sai shouted out and then hugged the spirit close to her.
Sai buried her face into his shirt and began crying. Yami was shocked by this and tried his best to calm the girl down.
"Saikuma, please explain yourself," Yami said quietly.
Sai looked at him tears quickly drying on her cheeks, "It seem that I am also being hunted. For you see I too have a Sennen Item, the Scales."
Sai brought them out of her bag and Yami held them for a moment. The eye from the scales reacted to the puzzles energy and began glowing. The Egyptian spirit gave them back to Sai. As the scales returned to her hands a bright light blinded the two teenaged Egyptians. Both Sai and Yami were knocked over. Sai fell into a deep slumber as exhaustion took over her, Yami was also knocked unconscious by the sudden surge of Shadow Magic the Scales gave off.
