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 10

Seth was mumbling something while Raphael laughed and Alaster giving a nasty glare then Seth said in common (Which is the common language of Japan) while staring at Atemu with cold eyes, "I see you are back...planning to think you'll win? You are mistaken if you think you can defeat the power of the Orichalcos...I know for the fact that you can't defeat "me" let alone my group."

Seto narrowed his eyes to Seth; there was something about her he slightly remembers.

Atemu brought the limp form of Seth to the temple to be prepared for the afterlife, but little did they know that when an Atlantian die their soul goes to a mighty beast. In which case that since Seth was born under the Great Beast Phoenix Dragon. Seth's true form is the Great Black Phoenix Dragon, one of the most powerful creatures in history.

Styred watched in fascination from the roof top opposite. If anyone knew he was there they had made no sign showing it. These modern cites held fewer vantage points than he had once known. Atemu...Yu-Gi-Oh... once his temporary master had no memory of him and he wanted it to stay that way but he had to know enough to deal with this crisis. Dartz resurfacing to bring that destroyer of creation back had unbalanced everything. Even those Egyptian magicians could not detect anything... not yet.

Dartz stood up and then stepped to in front of Seto and then grinned and then walked up the stairs to his room to grabbed his duel disk. He was about to take the final step when he noticed a letter, on the floor next to his door.

At this point Joey and Seto was still in the cafe with the other members of "Doom". He growled then stormed out of the front door of the hotel dropping the letter when he left. He jumped on to his bike and stormed off to the battle arena in Kaiba Land.

Seth said nothing as she gave Joey a cold glare and then walked away from the group and out of the cafe', there was more to do then stand around. There were souls to be taken and she will do just that.

Shadi Appeared behind Styred "you?" Styred spun round at that all familiar voice. "I've already told him enough about who I am to stem his interest in me so you're too late for that". Shadi "you don't belong here. He is my responsibility I don't care what to owe to him". Styred "What I owe to him is nothing. Dartz is here and he's got the power to do it again that's why. Anything you say won't make a difference this time I'm here to stay" Shadi shut up for several seconds taking in the fact that Dartz was around with the "POWER" to do it again. "Don't think that you know what's best for him cause you don't..." both their attentions turned back to the cafe across the street.

Meanwhile Shadi was talking to Styred about what is "kinda" going on. Styred would hear nothing of it, it was his fight with Dartz and Seth...Seth Styred growled at the mention of her name. Seth was the source of the Doom Group Orichalcos power. If he wasn't mistaken she was the Orichalcos it's self. Why was Seth here now? Was she here to see that the Great Beasts of the past destroy the modern city? Or was she here to see humans suffer like she did when she was with the Pharaoh. Just what had the Pharaoh done to her? That was something Styred couldn't figure out. From what the rumors he had heard, Seth was brought there as a Mistress of some sort. Or was she a spy to get the Pharaoh to lower his guard so that Dartz could attack? Nothing made sense, well not at the moment.

Meanwhile with Seth...

The dark night sky separates us
to lay bare our hearts as they call out to each other.
Cast off your useless trappings. Some things can only be seen
when you've lost everything.

Seth walked the darkening streets; she could careless what Styred could be cooking up. She is not going to let him interfere with what she is and Dartz are planning. Atemu is another matter. His soul is exceptional rare and strong the kind of soul they needed.

Oh wind, I will stand and face you!
I will go to the sea of anguish,
though bonds cut my chest,
and the crushing waves are endless.

The Pharaoh is the type that might do something rash or put his anger ahead instead of thinking it over; he was also a man who wouldn't let his guard down even over little matters, and however he is a great stragestist to many. However when Seth was there she had broken him and made his wall crumble with emotions.

What does everyone seek by fighting?
Does spilled blood cause flowers to bloom?
Until the precious tomorrow is in my hands...
Until the day we meet...

When Seth was killed his anger took over and swore he would get her back in the next life if it was possible. Things fell when he sealed himself into the Sennen Puzzle. However 5,000 years later he had found her but she wasn't the same as he had thought...

Oh wind, I will stand and face you!
I will go and head for the brilliance.
Embracing prayer to my heart,
I wander the seemingly dark future.

Seth knew that in this time they couldn't be together because she is with Dartz. She and Dartz where married back in the time of the Great War. Atlantis was destroyed and they had fled to another city from the mass destruction only to bring it down, due to revenge.

Oh wind, I am not afraid!
Love is the miracle I have found!
It's my joy to believe in you.
The storm blows so that we might realize our love.

This time Seth is going to make sure nothing happens to the one she called a husband and a lover. It was a miracle that she had found him once more this time she spent all her time and power to protect him and her group with the power she controls.

Dartz entered Kaiba Land and entered the battle arena, the message was from Styred and it said:

Dear Dartz,

As a warrior and a priest you will not be against this, I challenge you to a duel, in Kaiba Land alone, let see who better at controlling the Orichalcos, be their in two hours and if will be their.

Your hated foe,
Styred

Dartz looked around and head to one side waiting for him, because this is something they both knew they wanted.

Meanwhile Seth continued to walk down the streets, every now and then people would challenge her and she would win and take their souls. Smirking soon they will have their revenge on what have happen to Atlantis.

Long ago, in the ancient past
I remember a life when we first met
In a dark shadow realm under a big full moon
There and then, I could tell
You tried to break my will

The first time Seth had met Dartz when her parents had been murdered. At the time she was a free going Atlantian who is free and wild. No one could tame her, until she met Dartz who took her in and help her. They where only a year apart, until she knew he had broken her will and she submitted to him not because she had to but she was beginning to love him.

But now, watch as I rise to a whole new height
And my mad battle cry will be heard all night

Dartz and Seth became very, very close. It wasn't common to see the two together. No one had questioned on what had happened to her parents. That soon forgotten. Seth was also very special, she was known to be one with the Orichalcos, the people named her 'Seth of the Orichalcos'.

You keep on playin'
Those dark shadow games, and
No, I won't be beat again
You keep on playin'
Those dark shadow games, and
Hope this time I'll play, my friend

Shadow Games weren't as common in Atlantis like it would be in Egypt. They play ever so often but not as a high stake game. Seth and Dartz became one of the best in the game.

So now you know after time has passed
You can never be sure you're always the best
'Cause I'm back from the shadows comin' after you
On the brightest day of your darkest hour

Dark times had past over Atlantis as the whole city began to sink into the ocean, everyone that once lived there didn't make it alive, save Dartz and Seth. No one knew that it was entirely Pharaoh Atemu fault.

So now, watch as I rise to a whole new height
And my mad battle cry will be heard all night

Upon reaching Egypt they where brought up to the Pharaoh Atemu. Dartz had a nasty plan that will destroy Egypt to get revenge over the fallen Atlantis. Seth had agreed that she will break Pharaoh Atemu's guard long enough for Dartz to summon the great beast within that time she had also began to break the Pharaoh's guard. Seth was granted with a Sennen Item known as the Sennen Wristband. However when Seth snuck out of the palace and meet up with Dartz they secretly put a piece of the Orichalcos in the item.

Oh, oh, oh, oh

You destroyed the future with your past
Forgot the lesson of the tales
You never understood the past
Too bad today will be your last

Seth came close to the Pharaoh but not the same bond she had with Dartz, but it was close. Then the Pharaoh had ordered that she get the inscriptions of the Phoenix Dragon tattooed. She was against it but the Pharaoh refused to say no and she had no choice to get it.

So now, watch as I rise to a whole new height
And my mad battle cry will be heard all night

Slowly from the time she had gotten the inscription her sanity slowly slip until she ran out of the palace and was shot by a fatal arrow, both Dartz and Pharaoh where devastated. But Dartz knew that Seth could not be killed since the great Beast, Leviathan was on the rampage, as the rampaging Beast was destroying the city another one joined the rampage; it was the great Phoenix Dragon who was known to be Seth taking her anger on the Pharaoh.

Dartz entered the arena like ask with his duel disk ready and waiting for his opponent to come and duel him. Dartz face was as cold and cunning as usually it was but underneath the surface he was not very calm. He waited it seems hours, day even for his Styred but he enter with his red locks coming down his back.

He stood up and looked at the clock it was only five minters after he got their but this fight has been waiting for over 5000 years and it finishes now.

AJay crossed her arms with her duel disk on her left wrist as she watched the people walk around town minding their own business. Smirking to herself she knew that the Pharaoh will fall soulless to the great beast and her revenge would be fulfilled.

Styred stood on the roof of the stadium. He had been really puzzled by the note he had received. He called down to Dartz. "You sent me a message to duel? Or are you as surprised as I am? I did not send anyone a message you your expression implies the same. It would appear that this has been set up by someone else! Either Kaiba, the Pharaoh or your lover and I'm betting who ever it was wanted us to wipe each other out." Styred paused. "Oh very cleaver mister high and mighty guardian" he said to himself before he disappeared from Dartz's sight.

Dartz knew he had been cheated out of a battle but Styred had not sent the message? one day he way going to destroy that meddling guard.

Kaiba and Joey walked around just as Seth stood across the street looking at something that had her amused for some reason. Wondering what could be so amusing they looked to see a large TV and something was playing on the screen.

Things are a mess downtown...Monsters are on the loose and causing havoc and there is nothing anyone can do to stop the rampaging monsters! This is Jennifer Harrason with the 5 o'clock news, back to you Hanna.

Kaiba and Joey knew that it had to be the Doom Group causing this mess, but what are they planning to do when they get what they want? Will they continue to cause havoc? OR they will stop and go on their marry ways?

Dartz slammed his fist against the consul on the duel arena and he glared at the space that Styred was, he felt cheated, and a fool. He growled a bit then walked back though the cold, dark hall way were he came when he heard clapping and then he turned around to see a boy with light purple hair with a t-shirt and a sinister smirk on his face.

"So you are Dartz! The great high priest of Atlantis." He stood up and dusted his trousers down.

There had been a couple of strange events due to the fact when the monsters appeared some of the locals where spotted on the ground unconscious, 911 doesn't know what had caused them to fall unconscious, but they think it is tied to monsters that are running rampant on the streets. Word has it not only that the attacks are here but around the world as well.

Things are getting out of hand as one local had mentioned before. This is Genn Harentson. Back to you Jenive.

A smirk played on her pale lips as the news switched over to the news room things are in the favor of her and her group. Pulling out her pouch that held all the soul cards she pulled them out and said, "Soon the Pharaoh shall join my Soul Deck and nothing will stop the Great Beast."

The boy fuller stood up allowing his Sennen item to fall around his neck with it middles clattering together to make the sound of a wind charm in a light breezes. Dartz looked other at the teenager and his smirk that was playing on his face that would give chills to the bravest of man.

"Who shall you be?" The teenager walked down the stairs to be face to face with Dartz.

"The name is unimportant I am just telling you I am here to help, I want my revenge against the Pharaoh as much as you and everyone else in this world put together, because my goal is the power of the items."

Dartz grinned and then walked over to the man. "So you arranged this match then?" He nodded and then smirk grew. "I thought you needed a test and you most arch of foes just seemed to work for me."
