Chapter 5: Yugi's Vision! New Trials of Loyalty Begin!

We managed to come home safely, and Mercury, Jupiter and I bid our good-byes to Mark and Kiki. I wasn't too sure if I heard what Kiki said before they left, but it seemed she was coming back sometime tomorrow to continue playing with Serenity, Mokuba and Tristan. We finally went inside as I noticed the sun setting for the night. Jupiter stared out into the waxing moon, and she sighed.

She made her way inside the house as did Mercury. I wonder what Jupiter was thinking… Could it be about Artemis? The only thing I wanted to do was sleep, and luckily the Guardians supplied my friends and I some of the extra rooms they had.

"Are you sure you want to go sleep now, partner?" Atem asked, as I was about to exit the living room.

"It's been a long day," I said.

"Just let him go." Pluto replied as he entered the room. "He should have a good night's sleep."

I headed down the lonely hallway, and opened the door to one of the rooms that I was to sleep in. I went in and locked the door. The moonlight was shining in the room, and I fell onto the furry fabrics of the bed. I grabbed a pillow and slowly closed my eyes. It didn't take me too long to finally fall asleep.

I had no idea why I was running, but I was compelled to keep going. I reached a cliff side that reached towards the ocean. I was probably in the Animus because this place looked similar to the one in Artemis's past.

I turned around to come face-to-face with a city I was unfamiliar with. The city was in flames, and I heard terrifying roars echo through the night sky. I looked around and my eyes widened in shock. The Galactic Dragon and the Winged Dragon of Ra were destroying everything that crossed their paths.

I thought the Guardians were supposed to be here protecting Animus, but I didn't see any of them in sight. Then I noticed someone in the distance. Her long hair waved and her silver Egyptian robes billowed in the wind. The girl slowly turned in my direction, and she was smiling! The girl was Artemis! How could this be?

"Some things are not what they appear…" Artemis said.

The dream began fading away as I awoke in a cold sweat. Was that dream, a vision or a warning? The Millennium Necklace on the side table was glowing, and it could only mean one thing. That the dream was to come true, but will it? The Millennium Necklace couldn't predict the outcome of a Millennium Item holder. Could Artemis betray us? I just hope it doesn't happen.

I woke up late in the morning as I read the clock beside the bed. It read 9:57 AM. I quickly got out of bed, and dug through the black bag that carried my spare clothes. Luckily the Guardians planned ahead, and brought our clothes, or the ones we're currently wearing might become worn-out in the battles-to-come.

I took out a black T-shirt, blue jeans and a pair of black boots. I didn't remove my neck belt or the wristbands. I finally put on my new clothes and brought out my leather belt that held my deck. Something told me I was going to need my deck in the near future. I unlocked the door and rushed out the room. The others were already in the living room, but the Guardians were nowhere to be found. Where have they gone?

Meanwhile back at the Final Five's castle, Zephyrus was wandering around the dungeons, and he decided to give Sonja a little visit. She was still altering Nick's memories and it took her longer than she planned.

"I never thought that this mortal's mind would be so complicated!" Sonja groaned as she noticed Zephyrus enter the room.

"Every mortal is different," Zephyrus replied.

"Yes but Artemis's mind was easier to manipulate than him!"

"That's because her mind is now weak and vulnerable," he explained. "A Guardian's mind is normally too strong to penetrate but when weakened, they are easier to control. This mortal's mind is strong for some reason…"

Nick's eyes slowly opened, and his vision seemed blurry. He looked at Sonja and Zephyrus, and they noticed him. Sonja sat down on the cold floor as Zephyrus stared at Nick. "Phoenix… Is that you?" Nick asked weakly.

Zephyrus turned to face Sonja. She calmly stood up and walked up to him. "I hate to say this but he thinks you're that spirit that used to dwell within himself," Sonja replied. "I have seen memories of this Phoenix when he takes over this mortal's body. He sort of resembles you."

"If he has a spirit living in his mind, how come we haven't seen him?" Zephyrus questioned. "The mortal would have already made his escape."

"Probably from fatigue…" Sonja pondered. "I guess the fight with Stella must have drained him of his energy, perhaps that's the reason."

"Whatever you have planned for me, it won't work!" Nick exclaimed.

"Don't count on it, mortal!" Sonja argued. "Maybe after I'm done with you, the master will command you to kill that girlfriend of yours, and Artemis is slowly slipping into the darkness herself."

"I would never harm Tea!" Nick yelled. "And I know Artemis and I would never betray our friends!"

"You have no idea how many centuries Artemis has suffered, and she is easily drawn to the darkness." Sonja continued. "You, on the other hand, have so many horrifying memories that you will be consumed by the darkness once I'm done with you! You'll still kill Tea, and perhaps Artemis will destroy her love, Yugi!"

"That is what the master had planned, right?" Zephyrus asked nervously.

"That's correct," Sonja answered.

"Your master is just as demented as Pluto was!" Nick shouted. He struggled in his bonds.

"I just had enough from you!" Sonja said irritably. "It's time I finished my job!"

Zephyrus left the room as Nick's yells echoed through the corridors. He seemed to have something on his mind. "Phoenix... why does that remind me of something?" he contemplated. "What that fool Sonja doesn't know is that Artemis and I go way back… When I first fell in love with her, and I desired her power…"

Back in the Mortal World, the others and I were looking all over, trying to find the Guardians. It didn't seem like them to just leave without telling us.

"I wonder where they could be," I said worriedly.

"When I got up, they were not here." Tea replied.

Then the door to the front yard began to open. We walked over quietly, and I noticed no one was there. Maybe whoever entered was already inside.

"Are you expecting anyone?" a female voice asked.

Everyone nearly jumped as we saw a girl with green eyes and brown hair, her bangs dyed the color green. Another person approached her. He had black eyes and black hair, and he seemed to have a muscular build.

"Ceres, Mars, where have you been?" Luna asked angrily as she appeared in her spirit form. She then directed her attention to us. "This is Ceres, Guardian of Nature and Mars, Guardian of Fire."

"Where are the other Guardians?" Atem questioned.

"They received this urgent message from Matt Blair, the leader of the Trinity, and they left all left without saying a word."

"That's the reason they sent us," Ceres said. "They were concerned about your safety, and we were the only ones available."

"Neptune should be stopping by later in the day but I wonder what those other Titans are doing!" Mars replied furiously.

"Ignore him. He thinks of ridiculous things!" Ceres assured. "I have heard that Artemis is in a coma, right?"

"You're right," I answered sadly.

Ceres noticed my depressed look. "Don't worry, she may wake up soon. Why don't we go outside to get some fresh air?"

We all headed through the doors, as the weather seemed better than yesterday's humidity. The skies were clearer and the sun beamed in my face. Suddenly I heard a ring. Ceres took out her cell phone and answered.

"WHAT?" she yelled in surprise. "We'll be on our way!" She hung up and turned to Mars.

"What's wrong?" Joey asked.

"Jupiter called and she says that Zephyrus has appeared in Relic City!" Ceres warned. "The Millennium Guardians fear that he will destroy the Forgotten Tomb, and Forseti and Nidoki need help!"

"Then what are we waitin' for?" Joey exclaimed.

"A few of you have to stay behind," Mars said.

"He's right! We don't want to endanger your lives!" Luna replied.

"I'm staying!" Tea decided.

"You sure?" Atem asked.

"Yes."

"Ryou, Bakura, Serenity, Mokuba and Tristan must remain here!" Luna continued. "I don't want you all getting hurt!"

They all agreed, even Bakura complied for some reason. What harm will he do anyway? He no longer had the Millennium Ring, which was now in the possession of Pluto. I realized that the warp tunnel began to materialize in front of us as Kaiba, Joey, Atem, Mars and Ceres approached it and went in.

"Luna, you're staying?" I asked.

"I must! Who knows what that tomb robber might do if we leave him alone with the others!" she responded.

I jumped into the warp tunnel as it began to close. The trip wasn't too long, and we landed on soft ground. I opened my eyes and I saw an ancient structure in front of me. The Millennium symbol was on top of the door. This had to be the Forgotten Tomb!

"Need a hand?" a familiar Arabic-accented voice replied.

Nidoki helped me stand up as I realized the others made it. Joey somehow landed on top of Kaiba who was not too thrilled to be his soft landing. Kaiba pushed Joey off of him as he brushed off the dirt from his white trench coat.

"Where's Forseti?" Ceres asked Nidoki.

"He is dealing with Zephyrus!" she answered.

"I do believe Mars has gone off to aid him."

Then a crashing sound was heard throughout the whole area. Some trees were knocked down as we followed the sound. Nidoki's eyes widened as we noticed Forseti was lying on the ground. He was bruised all over and it seemed Mars was continuing where he left off with Zephyrus.

"Forseti, are you okay?" Nidoki pleaded as she hugged him.

"Sister, quit squeezing me!" Forseti said weakly.

"Oh, sorry!" Nidoki let go of him.

"What sort of powers does he have?" Atem asked, curiously wondering what Zephyrus was capable of doing.

A loud screeching sound was heard. A human-shaped being with long red wings appeared and was striking Mars at top speed. That monster reminded me of one similar in Artemis's deck. Now I know, it's Harpie's Brother! (Winged-Beast/ATK: 1800 DEF: 600)

"He can summon Duel Monsters!" Ceres replied. "But only Winged Monsters, like that one!"

Without warning I was picked up by strong claws, and I realized another of Zephyrus' monsters grabbed me. It was a large, brown bird with long wings. This was Monstrous Bird!

Ceres quickly changed into her Guardian form as she relentlessly was trying to catch up, but she was then stopped by another Winged Monster. It was a large, blue bird whose beak looked deadly. It was Wing Eagle. Atem watched helplessly as I was carried high into the sky. I could try freeing myself but then I would fall about 20 feet to my demise.

Meanwhile back in the infirmary, bluish-silver eyes were slowly awakening.

Author's Notes: I'm stopping here because I'm running out of ideas, but the next chapter should prove to be shocking. The past part Yugi was referring to in his dream was from chapter 16 of Pharaoh's Servant. Could Yugi's vision come true? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Please review!
