Summery: What happens if Yugi and his friends met a strange girl that looks like Malik only difference is her hair (black with purple/red highlights) she has the same eyes as Malik. What is she after the magic that resides in the items or to claim the all powerful God Cards? Or there where something deeper then what the girl let on...

Chapter 7

"Atemu sent me when Dartz destroyed Egypt. I'm here also for revenge. Seto I took your Duel disk design and modified It." he took another step forward. "I will not let you destroy another outsider Dartz... Atlantis and then Egypt was too much. I'm here to stop you. I've noticed you haven't lost any of your morals since we last met 5000 years ago.

Dartz growled and then looked into the shadows seeing a odd bright red hair falter in the cold wind that entered in the warehouse.

Joey and Seto looked at each other then at Dartz who was in a face of complete confusion and hate. "You, I should have guessed!" Dartz white coat flattered in the wind. His eyes darting from each shadow to locate him.

"It was HIS fault that I HAD to suffer while getting the inscriptions on my back and arm!!" AJay growled while pointing an accusing finger towards Yami who just stared blankly confused as much as Joey and Kaiba, but she wasn't done with her ranting, "If it wasn't for him I wouldn't had snapped and none of this would had happened. I'm here to get revenge for what he had done."

"Who you are is of little concern of mine. I'm only here to Stop Dartz destroying another place. This time Dartz you will not succeed in summoning that creature you stole from the Elders"

Styred Stepped out of the Shadows and everyone saw him. "You young people think you can stop the Leviathan but you can't I've walked for 10,000 years and I've never found a power that comes close to truly destroying it only putting it back in it's cage. But you're welcome to try". With that Styred turned round headed towards the cold metal stair case. He took each step rather slowly like he was savoring the moment or something like that as he walked straight passed Dartz and then looked him in the eyes.

"Hello Dartz."

Dartz face was complete shock and horror, this man he thought died less then 5000 years ago, the fly in his soup when ever he tried something was standing right in front of him.

"You well this is a major surprise....." Dartz took a step forward making him an inch away from the mystery man. "....hello Styred your still alive." The man did not respond his face was in a scowl and his eyes were burning and giving a glare that could turn metal into molten rock.

AJay took the time to close her mouth this is something Dartz had to do alone. And knowing him he doesn't want them to interfere on what Styred had in mine.

Glancing at the others for some reason she knew this is going to get ugly.

Yami and the others just stood there watching what was going on trying to figure out what is going to happen.

"I have no memory of him I have no idea who that is Yugi. I'm sorry but I'm at a loss." Yugi managed to get the words out who are you?

Styred turned back to face the voice. He then faced Dartz his eyes staring straight back into Dartz eyes. Everyone focused on them wondering who was going to break first. The room began to feel colder as heat just seemed to be consumed by Dartz and Styred's Fury at each-out. Both despising the other but both also wanting an end of the other.

Dartz cold glare carried on it seemed for hours but was a few minters until they both broke it then started to walk in opposite directions. Dartz climb back into the car and waited for the others who came running after him.

AJay got into the car and then slammed her fist on the stirring wheel. Dartz growled like a lion about to attack. "He is still alive!"

AJay sneered some as the others to get in before she slam the petal to metal. They were so close in defeating the Pharaoh until HE had to show up.

Yami and the others just watched as the Orichalcos group "fled" the scene. Something was up and they wanted to know what it was.

Upon returning to the hotel, AJay stalked into her room and begin to pace around the room, while the others sat around planning on what to do with a certain ginger hair man who has ISSUES with Dartz. They still needed to steal the Pharaoh's soul; if they don't get his soul then their plan is ruined.

Meanwhile Yugi and his friends walked out of the warehouse and back to their rightful homes, he couldn't believe that Mai, Rex and Weevil decided to help them in the duel. However they needed to watch out for those seals, especially if they have the power to fuse them together along with trap cards. Yami, out of all of the ones that was there I think AJay is the most dangerous one. From what I've seen I think she is full of Trap Cards...However I believe she has two versions of the Orichalcos Seal...We've seen her use Seal of Fate...But what is the other one I wonder...

Yami sighed and said, Your right on that Abou, but we won't know until she plays it, but what consequences it will be if she fails? Will the Orichalcos take her soul? From legends I heard that a young girl had given a part of her to the Sacred Orichalcos Stone and a mighty beast that was known as the Phoenix Dragon...If I am not mistaken she was the same one from my past...

Yugi thought for a moment and then said What IF she is the Orichalcos? That would mean she is the main target? What is her connection? She has a Sennen Item too, I'm so confused...

Abou I know all this is complicated...However we did defeat them before. However this AJay was never there, but at one point I thought I felt a disturbance, when I was dueling Dartz I swore there was someone within the seal, like a person guiding Dartz...The person was female but I'm not sure if it is the same person we just faced. Abou try to get some sleep. Yugi nodded and then padded over to the bed and went to sleep.

Dartz just looked out of the window with a cold stare at the thought of him being here gave his a cold chill that never went.

"Dartz you're insane." Dartz stormed past the red haired priest that griped his arm. Dartz punched him in the chest making him fall backwards and spilt out some crimson red blood. Dartz looked over the red haired man and grinned a cold grin and then kicked him on the floor.

"You are a traitor for siding with the him; he cost one of our people to die. He and his people deserve to die and only the beast can do it." Styred looked up allowing a few strew red hair to falter down your face. "You're insane; your hate will destroy you and the rest of Atlantis. As well the elders...." Then suddenly a massive foot slammed into his gut.

"You have no reason to talk to me, like a friend because we are now enemies because you side with the pharaoh. You're just lucky I don't kill you." He then spilt on his face and walked into the temple.

Meanwhile in the warehouse Seto and Joey were still looking at the man that was called Styred, he looked like Dartz expect for the red hair and the piece of green in his hand. As well the duel disk was different, it looked like a normal Orichalcos duel disk except it was blue and in the design it had a pair of wing in it.

Joey took one step close to the man and then closes to the man and then said with his normal innocent boy grin on his face. "Hey my name is....." Styred then rotated his head and then looked at him. "I know who you are Joey Wheeler and that your boyfriend Seto Kaiba as well the Pharaoh."

AJay finally gave up pacing around the room and she collapse on the bed staring at the ceiling; she turned her head to the side and then stared out the window that was open. It wasn't cold or hot it was a nice gentle breeze like the ones you get on a paradise. AJay clenched her fist and whispered, "...Home..." A single tear dripped down her pale cheek.

Yugi got up since his mind was thinking about what had happened there was so much he wanted to know but didn't know where to start looking. Yami had mentioned that AJay might be THE Orichalcos but it was far-fetch right now.

Styred turn to go when Seto spoke up "Who are you? Where did you come from?" Styred turn back to Seto. "That is insignificant to the fact that I am here to stop Dartz from destroying you. Take this…" Styred handed a card from his deck to Seto. "It may be of some use". Styred turn and left.

Dartz just looked into the cold night and allow the wind to blow thought his hair. Raphael and the others just watched in bewilderment, because for the first time ever they saw Dartz nervous.

For the first time in years AJay was scared for Dartz. Deep down she knew that he will win over what Styred has planned. Getting up some she then walked to the window looked out at the rapid night sky that was soon over them.

Glancing over to Dartz, she wanted to hold him and comforts him but she didn't know what to do, so many things had been going on and she was on the outside trying to find a way to help.

Styred walked down the alleyways in the darkness. Since Dartz knew he was here there was little point in remaining totally unseen. He stopped and looked at his hand. It hurt like it did back in Egypt all that time ago. It had also hurt when he disrupted the Duel between Dartz and co against the other guys. There was something there. A presents he could not recognize now but he did back then when he went to Egypt...

Seth... why was that present's here, Now and why did he feel it back at the Warehouse as well. Perhaps Seth had survived and was here?
