Chapter 72: To Be Death?
_________________________________
Daniel had made his way to a hospital bed by his friends, he lay, lifeless. The heart meter, standing still. Everyone looked down at him in sorrow. Was it really? To be death?
One of their greatest friends, to be gone forever? Not ever to be coming back and filling everyone up with joy?
Paul, Vice, and Darien didn't bother to see. It wasn't like he was their dearest friend.
Daniel's heart may have stopped, but his mind was flashing back, all the way to Ancient Egypt. His eyes opened wide and he looked around.
"Hello? Allen? Mink? Jess? Kai? Devon?" He said, looking around. He was inside a temple, laying on a rather uncomfortable bed. He got up. He felt something move around his neck. He took it and looked at it. "The Millennium Puzzle?"
"Sir! Sir! We must flee!" A voice yelled, pulling on his arm.
"What? Who are you?" He asked, looking down at the little man in robes.
The man laughed, but wasn't the time to laugh. "Sir, we must flee! The war has started! It's me, Hakunet!" He said.
"War?" Daniel said, taking his arm back.
"Yes yes! The war has started!" Hakunet said.
"Alright, where am I?" Daniel said, stopping.
"Sir! Do you kid not?" Hakunet said in confusion.
"I'm serious. Where am I, why am I in these clothes, and why do I have the Millennium Puzzle?" He said, looking down at the puzzle around him. "And where are the others?"
"You are Pharaoh Atem, you're in the Pharaoh's sacred clothes, the Millennium Item was created for you and if you mean by the others, follow me!" Hakunet said, pulling him outside of the temple.
Ahead of him, flames rose from within a giant village. 6 other people stood infront of him. They all bowed onto one knee.
"Please, none of that..." Daniel said walking past them. "Where are my friends?"
"But sir... These are you friends... I think.." Hakunet said. The 6 people stood up. Daniel looked in shock.
Each had a Millennium Item, the Scale, The Tauk, The Eye, The Ring, The Ankh, and The Rod. "War..." Daniel said in his mind.
He looked beyond the village, and saw a giant black tower. It was beginning to cover the sun. "It's moving..." He said in shock.
"Yes! That sir, is the Obelisk Tower. We have to stop it!" Hakunet said in panic.
Suddenly red started pouring into the streets and up onto the temple. "Blood... River... River of Blood...." Daniel said in his mind.
"Preist Set!" He yelled, turning to him. "This is your work isn't it..."
Everyone gasped, looking at the holder of the Millennium Rod. He looked shocked. "It is not! How dare you say such thing!" Priest Set yelled.
Daniel walked over, snatched his Millennium Rod, taking out the dagger. "Then what is blood doing on this. What have you done!" Daniel yelled.
"It is not mine..." Preist Set looking at the tower. "It is his!"
He pointed up at the top of the tower. A faint figure, standing at the very point of the tower. The person laughed, in his black armor he held the Obelisk Staff.
"The Preist's long lost brother... This is the real thing... But why am I in this dream..." Daniel thought looking at his hands. Suddenly his vision began to blur and he fell into a deep sleep.
Paul's Millennium Rod began to glow. "What?" He said, taking it out. Suddenly blood began to seep through the sheath of the dagger. He slid it off. The dagger was covered in blood.
Darien laughed, his Obelisk Staff glowing as well.
Bakura materialized infront of the P.K Building, smiling. "So... The Obelisk Tower is coming..." He said. "I have my time."
"Please wake up... Please.." Mink said, before Daniel. His eyes closed, his heart not making any change, still a flat line.
Suddenly there was a beep. it was a sign of hope, Everyone looked at the meter as it started beeping. Daniel's eyes opened wide. "I'm... back...." He said.
"Of course... Where else would you have gone..." Kai said, sighing with relief.
"But I was in Egypt... I saw it! Everything! The tower, the river of blood everything!" Daniel said.
"What?" Allen said in confusion.
"That war, it's beginning. The battle between brothers.. Paul and Darien....." He said.
"Well that's neat but they are going to duel anyway." Mink said.
"Well... It's time again..." Darien smiled, walking out from the bathroom. He headed up the stairs, following up to the door of the roof. He pushed it open and saw Paul, standing up infront of him.
"Darien! You will pay for this problem and I will bring you down once and for all!" Paul yelled.
"Oh Paul, you'd actually try to kill me off? What kind of brother are you" Darien said in sarcasm.
"Shut it! What kind of brother would blame me for something I never did! You were always the jealous one! But now I have this!" Paul yelled, throwing out his Millennium Rod.
"And I have this!" Darien yelled, throwing out his Obelisk Staff. "I am the ruler of the Obelisk Tower! So behold!"
Suddenly the world around them turned flat white. Before Paul, a mote of blood around the giant tower, the Obelisk tower. "What?!" He said in shock.
Within the mote, Darien stood. "Now! Let's duel!" He yelled as his Duel Xero folded out.
"Fine!" Paul yelled. "My deck master will be Lord of Dragon!". Suddenly the dragon warrior appeared by his side.
"And my deck master will be Koishu!" Darien yelled as a warrior appeared by his side.
"Duel!" They both yelled, both life points rose to 4000, both ready to duel.
