Yugi stretched his arm and threw the parachute off of him. The temple loomed in front Skullz and Yugi with a giant door blocking their way.
"Now how do we get in?" Skullz said scratching his head looking at the door in confusion.
"Let me give it a shot." Skullz whipped around to the voice but it was to late. A greasy-haired kid with a black jumpsuit punched Skullz in the gut, making him gag and hit his knees. Yugi backed up a step in shock but the kid moved so quickly that it was like a blur. Yugi braced himself for impact, but he felt himself be drawn into the puzzle. Yami took charge and blocked the kid's punch with his hand. The kid growled and tried to lay another punch, which was blocked by Yami again.
'Yea! Go Yami!' Yami smiled at Yugi's thoughts and blocked another punch from the kid.
"Your quick pharaoh. Your duelist skills are legendary, but I never heard of your fighting skills. It matters not, though. I saw your approach and I thought I could take you out as my master ordered, before you entered the temple that is, but I guess that's not an option." The kid smiled evilly and held up a small device with a button on it. "Another time pharaoh?" The kid pressed the button and the temple's door exploded with a great force. The kid shielded his face with his arms, and then rushed into the smoke. Yami let the wind of the blast rush over him before leaning down to help Skullz.
"Are you injured?"
"No." Yami vanished and Yugi took his place. Yugi looked over to the door and saw the dust was clearing and an entrance into the tomb appear.
"Who was that?"
"That enemy you're looking for?"
"Somehow I don't think so. He said 'master', he must be working for someone," Yugi smiled at Skullz. "Just another mystery I guess?" Skullz did not return the smile and merely stood up to his full height and brushed of his clothes.
"Shouldn't we get moving before he unleashes that power-thing?" Yugi's eyes opened wide and turned back to the door.
"You're right! We should get going!" Yugi ran into the temple with Skullz fowling slowly behind him.
Yami sat alone on a throne of stone. Footsteps echoed into his chamber and Yami's eyes slowly opened to see who had arrived.
"Priest Shinnocka?"
"Yessss. My pharaoh? What is your desire?"
"This upcoming ceremony, what is it?"
"A destruction of evil-forces ceremony. The high priests decided many years ago that it was necessary to cleanse the throne and other high positions of the evil ambitions of man."
"It makes us a god?"
"Far to the opposite, I'm afraid. It destroys a part of the soul of a mortal, the evil half that builds in a person since birth."
"And what will become of me?"
"You will be banished to the Realm of Shadow. Or, if you are to powerful as an evil spirit, you will be banished into a blessed object to be sealed away for all eternity."
"I cannot allow that. I have no light side to take over for me if I am gone, I will be a dead body without my soul."
"I am afraid not, my liege. Your light soul exists inside you. I can see a glimmer of it from time to time."
"I cannot except that I have a Hikari."
"Your Hikari will soon be a person. That person will be the new pharaoh of Egypt."
"NEVER!" Yami stood up from his thrown and a blast of wind erupted from him. The feeble priest hit the grown in shock. The torches that lit the hallway sprang to life, and it even seemed that Yami's own eyes burnt with the flame.
"My pharaoh... please spare my soul!"
"THE DEPTHS OF THE SHADOW REALM WILL FEAST UPON ANOTHER SOUL TONIGHT!"
"No!" The priest screamed in fear and tried to escape his pharaoh.
"EGYPT IS MINE NO ONE ELSES!" The priest had almost reached the last torch when Yami flung his hand out of his cloak and pointed his palm towards him. The priest's scream filled the chamber.
Then there was nothing but darkness.
Light Yami's eyes snapped upon and he sat up, panting and sweating.
'Was that my memory... or Dark Yami's... or both of ours?' Yami shook his head and stood up. He could hear a dripping of water but that was about it. It was to dark to see anything, but suddenly a tingling memory came to the back of his head. "Flamaso Enlightina." Yami's hand glowed with a bright ball of flame. Yami made a yelp of surprise and expected a pain from the fire. But nothing came but warmth. 'How did I...?' Yami sat down with his new toy and enjoyed its light and warmth. And there was no sound but the dripping...
Dark Yami rubbed his head. His headaches got worse the longer he sat near his Hikari. It was like a pressure on his mind, something was not right.
"What are you up to Hikari?" Dark Yami rubbed his temple again and then smiled. "There is an easy way to tell. After all I was the most powerful sorcerer in Egypt before my fall." Dark Yami's eyes glowed black and his body became smoky. With a small 'pop' he vanished. He reappeared inside the chamber his Hikari was held in and he looked at him in surprise. Light Yami was holding a ball of flame in his hand and Dark Yami was furious over it. He grabbed Light Yami's shoulder and turned him around. "HOW DID YOU LEARN THAT HIKARI?"
"I-I'm not sure."
"LIAR!" Dark Yami's eyes faded to black and he threw Light Yami against the wall. Dark Yami yelled again in rage and with a swirl of his cloak, disappeared again to leave Light Yami alone again.
'Could I be regaining my memory? Could Dark Yami be influencing my thoughts? How-What is going on with me?' Yami hit his knees and threw his arms out in front of him to catch his fall. 'I need to speak to Yugi...'
