Prologue: There is a Way

Yami: I have locked Ash Night Wolfsbane up and this is MY STORY!!!
Hehehe! Muwahhh!! Therefore, I do not own anything but the idea
and Ash Night's computer so I can write!

Marik: (rubs his hands) Victory at last!!

Yami: (glomps Marik) Oh yeah, and it's his too. Shh! Don't tell Ash!
Now I get to be the narrator so here it goes...

A/N: (Yami speaking in an evil voice) Neither Yami, Marik or even Ash
Night owns any part of YU-GI-OH though they wish!! However, the idea
of this story is originally ours or mine I should reiterate. So sit
back and enjoy The Shattered Timeline

Marik watch as Yami dueled. He is everything that I want! Hatred coursed throughout his body. Why did he have to born the Pharaoh? Every day either his sister or his father would recount endlessly about the 'Mighty Pharaoh!' And every day Marik's jealously and rage grew until it encompassed his entire soul. I will be Pharaoh!! Still, he knew that each time he dueled King Yami, the more the Pharaoh had found away to wriggle loose from his traps. It infuriated him immensely.

"Master Marik." Odion bowed as he entered the room, "There is someone who wishes to see you promptly. He says that he has acquired an ancient artifact to your liking."

"Bring them in Odion. I wish to see what they see worthy to present to me." Marik replied nonchalantly.

The doors parted and out stepped a person robed in black from head to toe, only their eyes showed the Egyptian bloodline prominently in them. Quietly, not making any rustle, they glided and bowed gracefully to Marik, "Your Eminence, I present to you a gift from the ancient tombs of the Pharaohs." Wasting no time at all, the person extracted an obsidian sphere from the hem of his robe. "This object will not only help you defeat King Yami but also you will gain his ultimate power and be Pharaoh!"

Marik's eyes shown like greedy orbs and his hands reached for it as a child would do at a candy store. Just as quick as the person took it out, he put it away, "However, it is for a price as everything is. I must have Yami's soul captured in this one." From the opposite side as the black orb, a clear sphere was produced. You must give his soul to me or you will lose all your gifts slowly and treacherously. Do we have a deal?" The person protruded their hand out to shake Marik's.

"First, tell me how it's done!" Marik demanded, not wishing to be fooled.

"As you wish." The person replied and leaned over. He whispered something terribly long and tedious sounding into Marik's ear but it delighted Marik until a grin appeared on his face, stretching from ear to ear.

"That is truly splendid! I shall take it from you and I promise that you shall have what you seek in return for your generous help." Marik shook the person's hand and accepted the black sphere. This will give me the Pharaoh's power right on a silver platter and he shall be out of my way forever!! Victory is MINE!!!

Jumping up quickly, he dashed to Odion, "There is a way!"

Yami: Sorry to end right here but I didn't want to give anything away!

Marik: All it takes is 3 review and we will give chapter one over to you all. I love the
Suspense!!

Ash Night Wolfsbane: Yami! Marik!! What are you doing? How did you get into my
personal archives? Come here both of you!! (Runs after Marik and
Yami with rope in hand)

Yami: (Running away from Ash with a black book in hand) Remember 3
reviews = chapter 1: Treason!
