Chapter 1:Old friends and nameless pharoahs
"Jack,just relax"
Jack turned around.The park was deserted except for about six kids in the distance,and a few others hovering around a table.The sun was low in the sky.The grass was still moist,or well,what was left of it was.His friend,the somewhat annoying archaeologist was still reading a set of photos.Daniel jusy wouldn't give up decoding the hieroglyphs.Teal'c was fairly silent as always,watching everything warily.
'He needs to get out more,'Jack thought.
Samantha was typing a mile a minute on her laptop,under one of the trees.Something seemed to be frustrating her.
'Maybe I should strike up a conversation,'Jack thought.'Nah.'
He turned to Teal'c.This was getting boring.
"So,...um,how's Ryac?"
"He is well,O'Neill."
"Bratac?"
"Bratac is also well."
Jack turned toward Daniel,who scribbled a few notes.He noticed Jack watching.
"Any luck at all,Danny?"
Daniel shook his head.
'What kind of writing could confuse Daniel?'Jack wondered.
(Meanwhile...)
Yugi was thinking about the new ancient Egyptian exhibit.
'What could it possibly be?Could it have something to do with Yami.Or Bakura,maybe.What's taking Yami?'Yugi thought.
He stared around his soulroom,still as innocent as ever.It was mostly filled up with childhood toys, and a few duel monsters posters.There was nothing to suggest or even hint that he had a mind-link to a powerful pharoah who once saved mankind,or to what that pharoah and Yugi had been through in hte past few years.
Yugi's mind was filled up with questions about the new exhibit.They were definitely making a big deal about it at the museum.He'd even heard they invited the some of the best linguists from America.
(At the Same time...)
Jack,Daniel,and Teal'c had watched Carter for some time now.She seemed to be concentrating intensely.
'She must be insane to work on vacation.'Jack thought.
Daniel finally worked up the courage to say something.Carter wasn't very agreeable lately,but...
"Put it down,Sam.It's vacation."
"No.I'm almost finished.Just let me finish."
"Sam,you need to do somehing else."
"No.I've almost got a working model."
Daniel shot a look of defeat at Jack,who raised an eyebrow.
'Quit being such a pushover.'Jack thought.
"Put the laptop down."
"I've almost got it-"
"The stuff wont erase itself.Save what you'v got,then put it down."
"Sir-"
"Now.Fresh air now,complicated math later.Besides,we all agreed to got to the museum."
Carter knew she had to go.She put the laptop in her bag.She and the team slowly got up.
"You took one for the team."
(Elsewhere...)
"Ryou,"
Bakura blinked.He switched with his hikari.He hated imitating Ryou.
"Ryou,your friends are on the phone."
He nodded.'They must want to go to the museum,'
/Going to the museum,landlord/
/Yes./Ryou answered pleasantly./I'll let you take over later if you let me go./
/Deal,hikari./
Ryou practically flew toward the phone.
"Hey,Bakura,do you wanna go see the new exhibit with us?"asked Tea's voice.
"Sure.The spirit said he doesnt mind ."
"He isnt going to cause any trouble,is he?"
"No.I dont think he really cares about it."
"Okay.So I guess we'll meet you there at noon,is that alright?"
Ryou agreed.He put the phone down,told his parents.They didnt mind,so he raced out the door.In his rush,he tripped a few times.Bakura,who was sleeping in his soul room,got very irritated,and scolded him the whole time.
/What in Ra's name could have made you this excited/
'Atleast we've been on better terms lately,'Ryou thought sadly.'Bakura's less crazy anyhow...'
/I heard that,baka./
(At the Museum...)
They finally reached the museum.Daniel was taking forever to see each one.
"Another sarcophi-thingy?"Jack said when they reached a mummy case.
There were around ten exhibits in one room,each behind it's own glass case.Daniel carefully studied each one with his eyes,to memorize every detail.To the annoyance of Jack,he read a few aloud,but then Daniel decided to talk to the much more interested Sam instead.Carter and Daniel pondered references to a nameless Pharoah while Teal'c (or more likely,Murry) and Jack talked about whatever crossed Jack's mind.
"There are all these monster carvings,"Carter said."What do you think they represent?"
"It's supposed to be attributed to a game,"Daniel said.
Jack cut in sarcastically,"A game?With giant man-eating monsters?Sounds fun.What do you think,Murry?"
"On Chulak,there were references to Taur'i creatures with abnormal abilites."
"Really?What did it say?"
"They were not very thorough.I remember very little."
Teal'c had to stop when someone walked by.She was wearing Egyptian garments.
"Hello.My name is Ishizu Ishtar.May I help you?"
"Hello,Ishizu.Where's the new exhibit?"
Ishizu noticed Daniel immediately.She smiled and pointed ahead.
"Dr.Jackson?"She said."I havent seen you since-"
"Since my theory flopped.I know.How's Marik?"
"He hasn't...been himself lately.But it will pass."
Ishizu led them through exhibits then even made Jack ask about them,or atleast he would have if several kids hadn't just approached their guide.
They were the weirdest group he ever saw,for the most part,even counting all the aliens he'd seen.One was a brown-eyed albino with a british accent.The kid had a strange giant golden necklace with an eye on it.The midget with tri-coloured-spiky-hair and purple eyes next to him had a similar one over a dog collar.Over to the side was another weird boy with a golden stick with one of those eyes on it in his hand.The other three were actually normal.
Ishizu introduced them.They names were Yugi Moto,Ryou Bakura,Marik Ishtar,Tea Gardner,Joey Wheeler,and Tristan Taylor.
Yugi talked to Daniel,Carter, and Ishizu the whole time,leaving Jack to think and observe.
"Yugi,do you think I could see your duel disk?It's very advanced holograpghic technologhy,and I've wanted to study one-"
"I would let you,but Kaiba wont have anything to do with the military." Yugi said.
"You know Seto Kaiba?"
"Seto Kaiba hates us all.Especially Yugi."Ryou said.
They got even more chatty when Ishizu found the new display.The kids hovered over it like five-year-olds in a candyshop.It was a seven- foot high sand-coloured tablet full of hierglyphs and more monster images.Inbetween those images were two figures that resembled...Bakura,fighting against someone.Next to it was another stone with a Yugi-lookalike and a different figure.
Ryou stared at the stone,oblivoius to Jack.
/Who are they/Bakura snapped,who had finally woken up.
/They were in the museum.One of them seems to know Ishizu.Dont do anything rash,please./
/Then explain to me why you and the Pharoah are standing next to those particular carvings in front of them/
/They wont harm us./
Bakura sent a mental whack at Ryou.
/Have you learned nothing being my hikari/
Bakura read the carvings.Ryou sensed him smiling mentally.
'Ah,I remember that.' thought the King of Thieves.
Yugi didn't really notice Jack either.
/Yami,it's Bakura./
/A carving of Bakura/
Yami paused for a moment.What if the strangers notice this?
/I do not trust them./He said finally./We will have to be wary.../
Jack watched the kid called Yugi for a moment.But that was enough.Jack saw little Yugi's eyes flash red.The kid's voice changed slightly,too,along with his personality.
Carter noticed it.So did Daniel.But no one dared to say anything.
