The Taur'i Pharaoh

Bakura, seeing his chance, took over the man's body before anyone could notice or doing anything about it. The Sennen Ring subsequently vanished from 'his' hands and settled around is neck, hidden from view.
Up ahead one of the mortals turned around. "Hey… Danny! Where ya going?"
Bakura replied in 'Danny's' voice. "I've just got to do something… met you up later."
"Okay but don't be too long!"
"I won't." Bakura smirked as their backs turned once more and quickly made his way to where his host's memories showed where the mortal's office was. As he worked his way through the corridors the Thief made sure that the different routes within the structure was well mapped out in his mind.
Upon entering the he locked the door behind them. He then turned his attention to the mind of his 'borrowed' body.
*Let me go!* Daniel growled savagely, yet a tint of fear could be heard. After all if the Goa'uld's had found a more subtle way to gain hosts… he left the thought hanging, not wanting to even think of the consequences. *You have nothing to gain from controlling me.*
The Tomb Robber chuckled. **My… my… my… you're definitely a different taste then my last host.**
*Who the hell are you?!*
**Well seeing as we'll be spending quite some time together… you can call me Bakura.**
*Why are you doing this?! What is it you want?!*
**Enough with the questions! You could not possibly understand my reasons, mortal!** Bakura suddenly snarled. **Now unless you really want me to do something drastic I would shut up with your questions! Ra-be-damned, your worse than a Hikari.**
*What could you possibly do that could hurt me now?* Jackson mumbled angrily.
**Oh you'd be surprised… you do have those friends outside this room… it wouldn't take me long to think of something…** Bakura grinned evilly, leaving the end of his statement to Daniel's imagination.
*Leave them out of this!*
**I won't if you don't shut up!**
Aware of the potential danger, Jackson retreated to the depths of the Thief's awareness. Ryou's dark half then turned his attention to opening a portal into the Shadow Realm, chuckling as it effectively cut off the mortal's mutterings.
Now it was time to find the Pharaoh.

Daniel stared out of his captive eyes, dismayed and yet awed that the Goa'uld was capable of sending itself into this dark and shadowy reality in an instant. Before he could stop himself he blurted out a question.
*Where are you taking me?*
**I'm going to find the, fool, Atemu** the Goa'uld actually answered, be it somewhat distractedly.
Jackson considered asking who Atemu was but decided it might be wiser to reign in his curiosity, before it got the better of him… and backfired onto his team members.

O'Neill and Teal'c glanced at each other and immediately sprinted back to the control room as the alarms shrieked throughout the base.
"What's happening?" The Colonel demanded.
A technician looked up from his computer screen. "The system detected an unprecedented energy surge within Doctor Jackson's office."
"And Daniel…?"
"Nobody knows sir. The security system last showed him entering his office but there was no further visual contact after that. The MP's arrived shortly after the surge… there was no sign of Doctor Jackson."
"We think it might have been some type of teleportation device. However, the energy patterns recorded didn't correspond with any technology that we have come across, be it Asguard… Tollan… Tok'ra… even the Goa'uld." Sam spoke up from her place at the technician's side.
"Could it be a test device, Major Carter?" Teal'c suggested.
"The Tollans wouldn't test it on us… the Asguard would have explained where Daniel is by now… but…" She looked at her father.
"Neither the Tok'ra or the Goa'uld have been developing this kind of technology," Selmak was the one to respond. "Nevertheless, the Tok'ra are not privy to all of the Goa'uld secrets. Especially now…"
"Why… what's happening…?"
"Something has the System Lords extremely riled up. Each has increased their defenses tenfold in the heart of their power so that even a shadow moving is challenged. They've become even more secretive, only the most trusted servants know what is going on. Unfortunately none of our own people are in such positions. This started about two weeks ago."
"I'd love to know what's got them scurrying about like ants!" Jack declared loving anything that could drive the enemy to be scared of their own shadows.
"We all would Colonel, however at the moment we have to put this particular matter to the side," Hammond held up a hand, cutting off any protests. "I agree that it is a worry if the enemy can seize people from within the very base but we just don't have the technology to be able to stop that from happening. All we can do is pray that it doesn't happen again. From this moment the base is on a full lock down. Nothing is allowed in or out… even they were President of the United States if he turns up. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir!" All those within earshot shouted.
The General nodded knowing that every man and woman under his command wouldn't fail in their given tasks. He only hoped that it would be enough.

It felt like several hours had passed since Daniel and his captor had first entered this dark realm. Daniel had long since given up trying to discover where he was… there was just nothing to go by but emptiness. He didn't dare ask the one who had taken control of his body. His mind drifted, trying to form any type of plan… not matter how bad they were… to get out of the situation. He sighed, unfortunately he wasn't getting anywhere.
He was abruptly dragged from his musings when the Goa'uld… Bakura… jerked to a stop.
"Ah, here we are…" The Tomb Robber muttered and they found themselves abruptly back in the real world. Or, more specifically, in someone's bedroom… in the middle of the night.
Daniel felt Bakura smile sadistically as he viewed the small body peeking out from under the bed covers.
The Thief tore the sheets off the small figure, "Time to get up you two!"
"… W… what…?" came a sleepy voice.
While the person slowly sat up, shivering in the cold, Jackson was trying to puzzle out what Bakura had meant by his statement. After all there was only one person on the bed… unless… it was another snake. But that didn't make sense, no System Lord… or Tok'ra for that matter would address another in that regard. The Doctor tuned back into the situation between his captor and the person… possibly Atemu? At least there might be a chance of discovering any useful information that could be of use. He would try to gather as much as he possibly could.
Little did he know it would be more… bizarre and unbelievable than he could have thought feasible.

I hope you all liked it… Sorry about the chapter length ~ I just love finding these endings J
Target Zero – Sorry, I thought I had explained a bit better… the reason Bakura got locked into his soulroom is because Ryou didn't want the Goa'uld to find him and ruin any chances they had of getting rid of it. I'm glad you liked it!
Yami-Yugi, JK, Silverdrake & Borath glad you liked it! Thanks to everyone for reading it! ^ _ ~
