Disclaimer: I do not own and never will own Yu-Gi-Oh! along with any music from any Final Fantasy game unless Hironobu Sakaguchi gave it to me for some unknown reason.
A/N: I think some people out there are still a tad bit confused about my layout for this, especially for scene changes. I've tried to rectify this problem but if you find something that needs changing like grammar then please let me know!
= scene change 'blah,' = thoughts "blah," = speech.
"I bet you can't wait, I know I can't wait to see what they've found," she replied as she dug her hand into one of her pockets,
"Are we there yet Yugi?" Joey asked,
"Almost,"
"Ugh," he moaned before he went back to his conversation with Tristan.
Five minutes later the gang arrived at the site where they were greeted by Yugi's grandfather, "Hey grandpa, how've you been out here?" Yugi asked him as they got closer,
"I'm fine Yugi, how about you?"
"Great,"
"Glad to hear it." He walked them over to a big, white tent in a corner of the site and he told them how a child was playing in this area with his friends when he found something in the sand. When they got into the tent he showed them the object that the child had found. It was in the middle of a table with a white sheet under it.
The shape of it was very similar to a star but the points were different, one point went straight up, two of them were at a steep angle also pointing upwards and the last two were pointing down at different angles and they were overlapping each other. The colour was golden yellow and it had the eye symbol on it like the Millenium Items, "That eye on it, it's the same as the Millenium Puzzle," Joey said,
"I wonder why that is," Tristan replied,
"I'm the only one who's seen the symbol before and I'm not going to tell them what it is yet," Yugi's grandpa revealed,
"Why not?" Téa asked,
"Because they'll want to know where I've seen it, then I'll go on about the Millenium Puzzle, then they'll want to know what that is and so on,"
"And you think that they'll take the Millenium Puzzle off me am I right?"
"Exactly Yugi," his grandpa replied, "why don't you go and explore the site and the pyramid while you're here,"
"Ok grandpa. See you later,"
"Bye Mr Muto," the others said as they left the tent,
"Bye kids."
"Didn't you think that it looked like a Millenium Item?" Tristan asked Yugi,"I don't know, it could have been but I doubt it," he replied as they walked further towards the pyramid. Yugi pulled his deck out of his back pocket and looked at the Dark Magician card, 'I wonder if the Dark Magician would protect me if I got into danger as well?'
It wasn't that long before they got to the entrance of the pyramid and Yugi put his cards away back into his pocket, "Well it looks like we're finally here," Tristan said,
"Yer lets take a look alright," Joey replied and they all went inside.
As soon as Yugi walked in his Millenium Puzzle started to glow and Yugi released a cry of pain as he slowly split into two. The other form was Yami dressed in some weird robes and he looked like a Pharaoh in them. As Yami stopped glowing, Yugi was still in pain, Téa didn't know what to do, she stood there frozen, feeling helpless as the boy she loved was in pain. Yugi finally stopped screaming and he found himself in the same clothes as Yami, who was stood next to him, "Wha ... what just happened to me? One minute I was fine, the next I was overwhelmed in pain," Yugi asked Yami,
"It's this pyramid Yugi. You'll need my help to get through it and I'm sorry if I caused you any pain. Every time we split, you will be overwhelmed with it," Yami told him, "this pyramid reminds me of something but I don't know what though,"
"I think we should carry on going into the pyramid and find out what's in here," Yugi suggested,
"Erm... good idea Yuge," Joey told him, still shocked about what just happened.
They carried on exploring the pyramid with Yami and Yugi leading the way, as if they've been here before. As they walked further in, torches automatically lit themselves, Téa was still a little bit confused after what happened, Joey was totally freaked out by it and Tristan was cool about it. He was so calm about this entire thing that he was whistling the Chocobo theme tune from Final Fantasy VII and it was echoing through the pyramid, "Stop for a minute," Yami told them,"Huh? What' wrong?" Joey asked,
"There's a trap up ahead," he replied, "wait here while I go and deactivate it ok," he told them and walked into the darkness,
"What trap?!" Joey asked and then started to panic,
"Don't look at me, I don't know," Yugi told him as Joey looked at him in fear. Suddenly a loud, scraping sound could be heard from up ahead,
"Eek!" Téa shrieked as she jumped on to Yugi who just caught her, but could keep his strength up for long and dropped her, causing to fall himself,
"Could you... get of me please, Téa?" he managed to ask her after a while,
"Sure, sorry," she told him as she got up and then helped him up. Yami came back and said that the path ahead was clear and they carried on walking.
It wasn't long before they came to a crossroad and became unsure of which path to choose, "Which way do we go?" Tristan asked,"This way," Yami said as he pointed right and started to walk in that direction. Téa, Tristan and Joey followed Yami and Yugi like lost sheep, unsure where they were being taken.
After a while and a few more traps with snakes in pits and even more pits Yugi said, "Huh?" as he saw a sarcophagus in the chamber ahead, "there's a sarcophagus,"
"We're almost there then," Yami replied and carried on walking. As they entered the chamber, it brightly lit up allowing them to see the entire room with no problem. The walls were covered in hieroglyphics and there in the middle was the sacred coffin covered in hieroglyphics, that Yugi had seen.
As Téa and Joey inspected the sarcophagus, Yami, Yugi and Tristan looked at the walls, trying to read what it said, "It's all Egyptian to me," Tristan joked but nobody laughed,
"Yami, I think I found something," Yugi told him as he carried on reading his wall,
"What is it?" he asked him as he walked over to where Yugi stood,
"It says something about the one with the Millenium Puzzle will one day return to this land and... I can't make out the last few hieroglyphics they're damaged," Yugi started,
"I wonder what that means," Téa said as she looked up from the sarcophagus,
"Who knows," Joey replied, "I don't think it's something we should rack our brains out on at the moment guys,"
"I agree," Tristan added, "don't you think we should start heading back to the hotel?"
"Yes, they might be getting worried about us," Téa told them as she looked at her watch, "and besides, this place is giving me the creeps," and she gave them her scared look combined with a chill-up-the-spine face, "Okay, I heard one of the teachers talking about coming back here with the other kids tomorrow anyway," Yugi told them and started to head for the door and everyone else followed apart from Yami. 'What could that mean?' Yami thought as he looked at the riddle one more time before he left for the others.
Every time Yami walked past a lit torch it put itself out and it wasn't long before he caught up with the others and they were chatting about things amongst themselves and they didn't notice that he was missing.
As they got nearer the entrance, the Millenium Puzzle started glowing and so did Yami before he returned back into the puzzle causing Yugi to feel weak from the pain and fell to one knee and closed his eyes, "Are you alright?" Téa asked him as she rushed over to him and he'd returned to his normal clothes,
"Yes, I'm okay," he replied as he opened an eye and looked at her, "I think I'll be fine," he told her weakly as he got up slowly but almost fell down again but Tristan caught him in time,
"Stop kiddin' yourself Yugi, you need help for a while," Tristan told him as he picked him up and put him in the piggyback position,
"He's right. Just relax and let us look after you ok," Joey finished,
"Ok. If you don't mind..."
"We don't so relax already," Téa told him,
"Thanks you guys," Yugi said before he passed out,
"He'll be alright, he's just exhausted," Tristan told them as he laid him in the shade of the pyramid,
'I hope he recovers soon,' Téa thought as she looked at him worriedly.
