Chapter 24: The Terror is Only Beginning, Yugi!

I rushed over to Artemis as she stared with anguish in her eyes. She seemed worried about something, but what? She nearly collapsed onto the ground, but I caught her in time. I brushed one of her bangs away from her face, and she shuddered when she saw I was covered in blood.

I winced in pain once I realized my bandaged hands were hurting. Artemis got up and observed my bloodied hands carefully. I've forgotten that I punctured my hands after I recovered from the darkness back in Pluto's castle. Artemis held my hands as she was shrouded in a warm, white glow. The pain I felt was suddenly gone, and she removed the rags that covered my hands. I noticed that my hands were healed.

"I have the ability to heal others, besides myself," Artemis replied.

"Thank you," I simply said. Then I felt myself being picked up. It was Joey who came out of nowhere and decided to give me a hug, and the others walked towards us.

"YOU DID IT, BUDDY!" Joey cheered happily.

"Yugi, I'm proud that you were able to prove that you are strong without me," Atem said.

Unbeknownst to us, the Millennium Puzzle was lying on the ground, undisturbed. An unusual electrically aura was surrounding the puzzle as it lifted up into the air, without us noticing what was going on. The puzzle landed into the hands of a shadowed being. This being wasn't alone. There were four other figures standing on top of a nearby cliff.

"That runt actually defeated the Galactic Dragon," a feminine voice spoke.

"Don't underestimate the power of Ra within the boy," a masculine voice replied as he held the Millennium Puzzle in his hands.

"You mean that runt has Ra within that wimpy body?" the first voice yelled in disbelief.

"Hard to believe but true." The second voice said. "I don't see the other Phoenix Dragons but we'll find them. Pluto has failed, and I see his darker half wasn't strong enough to stop those humans."

"Master, remember he was weakened from his last encounter with Yukai," another voice reminded.

"Yeah, he defeated you and Luna stopped Stella from accomplishing your task!" another feminine voice included.

"I don't think I wanted to be reminded of that!" the second voice scolded. "Now I believe we should resurrect the Galactic Dragon ourselves, and we have its soul thanks to Pluto!"

The five beings disappeared into the shadows and they took the Millennium Puzzle with them. I looked up, but it was too late. I realized that the puzzle was disappeared.

"It's gone!" I cried.

The Millennium Guardians noticed what was happening. They seemed terrified about this new turn of event. Yukai still held Pluto within his grasp, but Pluto began to wake up. Something was different about him.

"You're awake!" Yukai replied cheerfully.

"Yukai, … what are you doing here?" Pluto questioned. "What are those mortals doing here as well?"

"Care to tell us what's wrong with him?" Nick asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You see, Pluto was taken over by a dark side to him." Artemis began.

"Then what happened to that dark side?" Kaiba asked.

"Gone for good, I hope…" she answered sadly. "When Pluto was taken over by that dark side, he had no recollection of what was going around him. This occurred when Yugi and I were taken over by a dark side of us."

"You calling me evil, my little light?" a familiar voice replied.

"Don't tell me she's back!" Artemis shouted. She slightly winced.

Luna was standing beside Artemis. I thought she was banished to the Shadow Realm. "What's wrong, not happy to see me?" Luna asked. She stared with confusion in her eyes.

"Let me guess, Luna was somehow playing around, right?" I queried.

"You're absolutely right!" Artemis answered.

"Can we get back to what happened to the puzzle?" Joey yelled.

"Patience!" Nidoki replied.

"It must be the Final Five!" Pluto concluded.

"The Final Five?" I gasped. "Who are they?" I recalled they were briefly mentioned before the battle.

"A small group of Guardians who have turned against their solemn duties!" Yukai explained. "Their role was to cast judgment over those who committed wrongdoings in our world. But their leader rebelled during the Final Battle."

"How did you find us?" I asked to Luna.

"It was easy," Luna began. "I needed to track down my little light, and well, you know the rest."

"In other words, you were in the Underorld the whole time." Artemis deducted. "THE VISION!"

Could Artemis's first vision be wrong? No, the first part was true, but the second person. Possibly must be one of the members of the Final Five.

"I know what you're talking about!" Pluto growled.

"Pluto, I should take you to the Forgotten Tomb!" Yukai decided. "Perhaps you can translate the legend that I could not!"

"Orpheus, Apollo, Forseti, come with us!" Pluto ordered.

"What about me?" Nidoki shouted.

"You must stay!" Artemis replied. "My head feels all messed up at the moment!" She shook her head in frustration to further show what she meant.

"We need you two to be on the lookout for the Silver and Bronze Phoenix Dragons!" Yukai said as he followed the others.

I watched them fly away, and I had this terrible feeling that more was still to come. Artemis comforted me in her arms as she held me close.

"I missed you…" she whispered in my ear.

Luna stared with a disgusted look. Could she be jealous?

"I felt so lonely inside the Galactic Dragon…" Artemis continued. "Whoever has that puzzle will pay for the damages done to all of us!"

Rain suddenly began to pour. Everyone had depressed looks on their faces as I gazed up into the dark sky. A strange feeling came over as Artemis continued to hold me. Why does this feeling sense familiar to me?

"So what are we to do?" Nick asked.

"We are going back to the Mortal World." Nidoki answered.

"You mean back home?" Serenity said.

"Not to your home, our home in the Mortal World." Artemis responded.

"Where exactly is that?" Joey seemed puzzled by their response.

"In New York?" Tea questioned. Both Nidoki and Artemis nodded in agreement. I guess they wanted to keep a close eye on us.

"Wait, don't the other Guardians live with you?" Mokuba asked.

"The ones you have not met are there." Nidoki smiled. "Shall we be going now?"

"Nidoki, should we bring them there?" Artemis said out loud.

"Problem?" Tristan replied.

"I did not think of that!" Nidoki cried out. "Nearly all of them are descendants of the Galactic Dragon!"

Artemis released her hold on me as I got up and walked over to Atem. He seemed puzzled along with the others.

"All will be explained once we get there!" Nidoki decided. "We must open another warp tunnel to get there."

"I'm way ahead of you!" Luna replied as a warp tunnel appeared.

My gold bangs were getting drenched from the rain whilst the others headed to the warp tunnel. Artemis stared out into the dark horizon as she walked by me. Kaiba and Joey strolled their way past me, and then a familiar feeling came over me again. This time I sensed it came from both Joey and Kaiba. What's going on? I felt it before when Artemis was near me.

"Partner, we're going to leave you if you don't get over here!" Atem called out.

I ran my way to the warp tunnel as I jumped in. The trip didn't take too long as we reappeared back to Earth.

"The terror is only beginning, Yugi!" an unfamiliar voice said to me in my mind.

I shuddered when I heard the mysterious voice. Artemis was beside me, her eyes laid locked on me. She moved away from me as the others stared at the new surroundings.

Could that voice belong to one of the Final Five? I suddenly felt myself being pulled into a vision by the Millennium Necklace. I was standing before Animus, but something was not right. The world was being destroyed as fire burned and the sky was covered by a veil of darkness. Everything was in rubble and I heard loud roars echo out of nowhere. My eyes widened as I saw the Winged Dragon of Ra and… the Galactic Dragon! No, this couldn't be happening!

"Yugi, wake up!" I hear Atem's voice call out to me.

The vision disappeared as a worried Atem stood over me. The Final Five must be planning to resurrect the Galactic Dragon, but I thought it was no longer possible. I stood up and glanced at the others. We continued walking to wherever we were going, but that vision has gotten me a bit shaken. I fear that voice was right, and we must be our guard. If the Final Five is after the power of Ra, then they'll do anything to get their hands on me. I must not let them revive the Galactic Dragon!

Author's Notes: Here's the title and summary: Dark Crisis – After the events that lead to the almost destruction of the universe, Yugi and his friends have returned to the Mortal World where they encounter the rest of the Guardians.

Artemis and the other Millennium Guardians are in search for the secrets of the Phoenix Dragons before they fall into the hands of the Final Five. It's a race to prevent the resurrection of the Galactic Dragon, and could Yugi's vision come true? Who are the Final Five and will they succeed to reviving the Galactic Dragon?

And I want to thank NeferNeferi and Phoenix727 for their reviews, and for giving me the support I needed to accomplish my goal on completing this story.
