The Amulet of Anubis

"So now it seems that the tables have turned in our favor, Lord Voldemort," Yami spoke triumphantly.

"Would you mind saying that again?" Voldemort asked.

"Why?" Yami asked.

"This is why," said Voldemort as he rolled up Malfoy's sleeve and touched the Dark Mark embedded in his arm. Malfoy flinched in pain, but seventeen other Death Eaters appeared in a pop. And Marik, Bakura, Serenity, Yami, Isis, Seth and Hermione soon found themselves being held tight by one of the Death Eaters.

"Gee, I was wondering where the other seventeen were cause there were twenty stunners," Bakura stated.

"It seems that now the tables has turned to favor me," Voldemort said slyly.

"Whatever," Yami said grudgingly.

"Now witness a new power that the greatest wizard in the world has mastered!" Voldemort yelled as he revealed and emerald amulet with the eye of Horus on it. A green flash of light covered the clearing and in a pink flash of light Serenity was sucked into the amulet. In a green flash Bakura joined. Seth was next with a blue flash and Marik followed with a purple one.

Yami stood alone, "We shall still defeat you!" he yelled just before a red flash stole him.

"Mwahahahaha!" Voldemort laughed sadistically. "Who's winning now, pharaoh?"

Shizuka, Ryou, Kaiba, Malik and Yugi awakened to see this horrible sight. Isis and Hermione were the only ones not dazed with little memory of the past hour or so. "Isis," Shizuka asked trembling, "Where is Serenity?"

"Shizuka, your yami and all the others have been stolen by the crazy man over there," she answered compassionately.

"Hmph!" Shizuka said angrily, "How rude!"

"Yes, how rude indeed!" Kaiba repeated.

"Oh," Voldemort responded, "I'm rude now? How unfortunate to me," he said sarcastically.

"So," Malik asked, "What was that amulet thingy anyway?"

"The Amulet of Anubis," he answered matter-of-factly.

"I don't remeber anything in the scriptures about that," Isis stated.

"That's because it belonged to the Grave Thief himself," Voldemort said, "But he died before he could use it so it was never written about."

"Bakura never told me about it," Ryou said.

"Well," Voldemort said concluding this talk, "That's too bad for you and your friends."

"I've won duels before without Yami," Yugi said, "So this should be no different."

"Oh but it is," Voldemort sneered. The amulet glowed red and Yami appeared in his spiritual form. "See now you are fighting against him."

"Yami?" Yugi gasped.

"Yes, pathetic tiny one," Yami answered bitterly.

"But how?" Hermione asked, "Yami is not evil and can not be turned evil that easily!"

"But how much do you know about the real me?" he asked, "Do you know what yami means?"

"No," she stuttered.

"It means dark!" he laughed, "Which is what I truly am!"

"I don't believe it," Isis gasped as Voldemort sommoned the other yamis in their spiritual form.

And the Battle of Yami and Hikari began.
