AND:I want to thank the people who have been reading. I am dedicating this chapter to all of you, my dearest readers. The supernatural aspect is coming to play very soon. This is the last chapter.
Anzu ran as hard as she could. Somehow she knew exactly where Kaiba was. She never noticed the shadow that followed her.
"Get away from me!" Kaiba's voice could be heard but Anzu couldn't see him. She leapt over a hedge and noticed the creature he was in front of. It was about as big as a mastiff with two heads. It had no fur, only black scales and two horns instead of ears. Its eyes were red and had no pupils. Its fangs were yellow and it was foaming at the mouth.
"Get away from him," Anzu hissed. The creature growled at her. She brought her hand up and sent a wave of psychic energy at it. It flew backward about fifteen feet. It growled and leapt at her. Her sword came up in a flash. She rammed her sword into the creatures gut. It let out a horrible howl and disappeared. Everyone else arrived after that. Lang smirked as a feather fell from the sky into Anzu's hand.
"The feather--an angel's protection. The pendant--a compass to guide you. The sword--strength and power of the war goddess*. All three items have been gathered. Now the key to light and shadow reveals her wings," Lang said. Anzu went into a trance-like state. A white light formed on her back. It grew to become two huge white wings that reached about a 120' wingspan. Her fingernails became longer and turned into silver talons. Her clothing was covered in silver light and formed white pants and a white shirt with a silver feathered pin at the middle of the neck. Her feet became like a gargoyles with large silver talons as well. Her eyes became yellow and cat-like.
"What did you do?" Anzu whispered.
"I made the key appear. My master will be pleased," Lang said. Anzu hissed at her. Lang smirked.
"You are sick," Anzu stated.
"Ssssshe issssssssss not worsssse than me," a voice sounding much like a snake said. Anzu turned to see a huge snake creature behind her. It had long green scales. Its head was that of a man's with black hair. His hair was matted. He stared at Anzu with red eyes. His arms were clawed with sharp yellow claws.
"What do you want with me?" Anzu asked softly.
"I want your powerssss. Your mother wouldn't let me have you when you were born, sssso I killed her, but the idiot massster of sssshadowsssss and the missssstressssss of light guarded you. They hid your wingsssssss. I tried to reach you, but I couldn't get through your father. He guarded you with his life and in the end, you betrayed him. Sssssssssuch irony is only found in the human racssssss," the creature stated. "You musssst come with me child. I can help your powersssssss grow."
"Never," Anzu stated.
"Then I will take out your soul by forcsssssssse," it said and leapt at Anzu. She tried to jump, but found that her wings made her even more heavy. She barely got out of its reach.
"She doesn't even know how to use her wings," Lang smirked. Ryou watched her.
/Bakura./ Ryou called to his darker side.
//What?!// the disgruntled spirit growled.
/Anzu's in trouble./
//Why would I care?//
/She's your sister's reincarnation. Don't you care if she dies? You may not act like it, but I know you care about her. You never did want to kill her./
//…//
/Am I right?/
//…Yes.//
/Then help her./
//How? I can't stop that creature.//
/You can bring the monsters from the Shadow Realm to this one. Right?/
//Yeah.//
/Then use that. I am giving you full use of my body. Do what you can to help your sister./ The change was quick. The only ones who noticed were Lang and Yami.
//Yugi.// the pharaoh called.
/Yeah, Yami./
//Let me take over. Bakura's taken over his aibou.// Yami switched places with Yugi. Lang was looking at them both. Her eyes narrowed.
"You can't do anything," she told them. "Basilisk will take her soul, and the doors to the realms of light and shadow will be opened to us."
"You actually believe that?" Bakura laughed. "No one ever wants to share their power once they get it. He will kill you the first chance he gets."
"You LIE!!!!!" she screamed.
'You know they do not.' a female voice surrounded everyone. Basilisk froze. Anzu looked up. Black and light blue feathers filled the air. Two people appeared out of no where. A man, around 35, wore a black robe that had white circles embroidered on the edge. The woman was the exact opposite. She had blond hair and wore a white robe with black circles. They both had wings that looked like Anzu's, except they were in different colors.
"Haki and Len," Lang hissed. Both of their eyes turned to her. The male raised his hand at her, and she disappeared in a flash of black fire. Everyone stared at the new comers. The woman's eyes feel on Anzu.
"Come, child. It is time," she whispered. Anzu looked at Yugi and the others then looked at the two newcomers.
"I have to go," Anzu whispered.
"You will not!" Basilisk yelled. He lunged at her. The blond woman held up her hand, and he disappeared.
"I have to go," Anzu repeated, the tears that she had been holding in appeared. She ran toward the two newcomers and stretched out her wings. She disappeared in a flurry of feathers.
