Bluerain: YAY!!!! Will Yami become King of Egypt? Read and find out!
Chapter Six: The Clash of Chaos.
Yugi/Yami stood before the city of Cairo and waited. All had gone according to plan so far. Ra'd Amir had sent most of his troops out hunt down the Kaiba Corp. Force and now the city was defenseless. Or so it seemed.
"Come out of hiding Ra'd Amir and face me!" Yugi/Yami cried out into the empty streets. Tea and the others followed him down the streets while silently, the few remaining Rare Hunters encircled them.
"Yugi!" Inu-yasha could smell them coming.
"I know, just wait, everything will be okay." Yugi/Yami said then he looked down a far off avenue to the east. There stood Ra'd Amir and his henchmen.
"So we meet again Pharaoh, for the last time." He drew his sword and likewise so did Yugi/Yami and Inu-yasha draw their swords. Suddenly the Rare Hunters all came out of hiding and ran to trap them there in the center of the city square.
"I will give you one last chance." Yugi/Yami said. "Give up this mad crusade for power and lay down that sword. Nothing but evil can come of it."
"Don't you think that I know that Pharaoh?" Ra'd Amir said. "Such great and inescapable power only resides in the hands of evil. Now I will use it to crush you."
"Then I see that I have no choice." Yugi/Yami drew his sword and the battle began. The streets erupted with clash of the twin swords of Chaos as they were pitted against each other once again. Lightning flashed in the sky over head, the desert rumbled, the air swirled, and all of Egypt felt the blows exchanged between these two opponents who fought in the names of good and evil. The two young men seemed equal to one another in strength as well as agility. For when one of them would thrust the other would duck and parry.
"Wow." Tea observed from her position behind a shop cart. "Those lessons in swordsmanship Inu-yasha gave Yugi are really paying off. She ducked her head just in time to avoid having it shot off then she aimed her Kaiba Corp. Stun Gun at the enemy and fired. Each of Yugi's friends who lacked supernatural powers had been issued their own weapon but it would take more than a few volts of electricity to keep an army of Rare Hunters from taking them apart with the rifles they had.
In the mean time, Inu-yasha and Kagome were holding their own on the roofs. Kagome fired arrows and Inu-yasha used his sword to deflect enemy attacks as best he could. He could not use his sword to harm humans though so it made little difference in any respect.
"Damn, I wish I had one of those huge chaos swords." He said to Kagome. "Then I could do some real damage to these guys."
"Then why don't you try to get that one from Amir." Kagome said sarcastically as she fired off another sacred arrow.
"Then maybe I will!" Inu-yasha replied, and he charged off.
"I didn't mean it, stupid!" Kagome yelled, but she couldn't stop him. Inu-yasha's sword was unsheathed, and glowing bright red, as he leaped into the air, and came down with his sword against the blade of the Sword of Conquest that Ra'd Amir held aloft, preparing to strike down Yugi/Yami.
"What?!" Amir said as the power of the three swords combined created a backwash of power, sending all three of the swords flying into air. "NO!" cried Amir, "I must regain the sword!!!" Inu-yasha leaped up then, and grasped both the Conqueror's Sword and the Tetsusaiga.
"Inu-yasha!" Yugi/Yami cried, "You don't know it's power!"
The Tetsusaiga suddenly became heavy in Inu-yasha's hand, again, and the han-you said, "What's going on? I can't lift the sword!" his voice gradually grew deeper and raspier, until each word became a snarl in his throat, and his eyes glowed red.
"He's turning into a demon!" Miroku observed as he continued to fight.
"I must regain the sword!" Ra'd Amir cried as he rushed forward towards the transforming han-you. But then, Yugi/Yami took up the King's Sword, and cried after him, "Amir, don't! You don't know how powerful he is in this state!"
As the little man drew closer, Inu-yasha turned, and swung the Conqueror's Sword at it's former master, it wave of black and evil energy sweeping over him and sending into the abyss with a loud and painful shriek.
"Inu-yasha!" Kagome cried, trying to fight through the tumultuous field to stop him. But Joey/Rafiq flew past her wioth the power of the Key/Staff, and stood in battle stance in front of the maddened han-you.
"Inu-yasha, my friend," Joey/Rafiq said, "Drop the sword."
"Why should I listen to you?!" Inu-yasha growled.
"Because you know what is right, and what is wrong," Joey/Rafiq said, "Come now, it's over. Our Pharaoh may ascend the throne with clean hands, now, thanks to you. Please, friend, drop the sword. If not for yourself, then for the woman who's dwells in your heart."
Inu-yasha growled, but with shaking claws, he slowly put the Sword of Conquest down in the sand. And with that he reverted back to his normal form, steam rising from his body as it did.
Meanwhile, Tristan cried, "They're running! They're running!" as Ra'd Amir's forces retreated from the city into the desert. But before they reached the outskirts, they were stopped and surrounded by Kaiba and his Kaiba Corp Defense Forces, all outfitted in three enormous Blue Eyes White Dragon tanks. The Blue Eyes White Jets flew over head, and dropped giant nets on top of the confused and bewildered men and women who had supported Ra'd Amir's rebellion.
"Arrest them all!" the Prime Minister commanded, "In the name of Egypt." The police and armed forces of the country swooped in, and piled the insurgents into numerous armored trucks, with Layla, the second in command, kicking and screaming that she would call curses on them all.
"Shut up, you ignorant witch," Kaiba said as she passed him. "You're days are numbered."
"I will have revenge on you, Sorcerer Kaiba! Though your Pharaoh has destroyed my beloved, you have not heard the last of me!" she cried as she was thrown into the truck with other hooded cretins and hauled away.
"Whatever," kaiba said to the retreating truck.
Then, Serenity ran up to him, and cheered, "Seto! You did it! You saved the day!"
"Excuse me," Inu-yasha said as he, Yugi/Yami, and the others came up behind them, "Me and Yami were the ones swinging swords out there."
"No, she's right, Inu-yasha," Yugi/Yami said, "Without Kaiba and his Kaiba Corp Army, we would never have been able to defeat Ra'd Amir."
"Oh great Pharaoh," the Prime Minister said, followed by Ishizu and the other citizens of Cairo, "You and your company have saved us! We are eternally grateful. Please, you have my blessing to take up your rightful place as Pharaoh of Egypt once again." The people cheered, and threw up their hands in great joy. But Yugi/Yami raised his hand to silence them. When all was quiet, he got up on one of the Blue Eyes White Tanks to address his people.
"My good citizens of Egypt, I tell you the truth, it would be my greatest honor to lead you all as a peaceful nation into a future bright and glorious… But… I now realize that it is not I who must bring this peace and prosperity. It is you, it's citizens, the heart and soul of the land, that must do this before I can ascend the throne. We may have that time, someday, but first, Egypt must learn to peacefully govern itself again, so it can have true peace. For how can you trust in me if you cannot trust in yourselves?"
"So Pharaoh, does this mean you will not take the throne?" Ishizu asked, her heart sinking.
"I myself have much growing up to do before I can lead this country that I love- have always loved, and ever will love. And I must become whole once again. But rest assured, one day I will return. And when I do… I will take up my throne and govern Egypt the way she was meant to be governed," he paused and looked down at all his friends as he said, "With love and peace." As the young man descended from the tank, cheers mingled of both sorrow and joy rose up and engulfed the city.
And so, little Shippo observed… "Can we go home now? I'm hungry."
The End… For now.
