Last Time:
Her body was now surrounded by a golden aura, and now shining on her forehead was the eye of Ra yet in the center of that eye was the crescent moon. Her sun kissed gold hair began to turn black with gold high lights. Her bodice was turning gold as the eye of Ra was now on in the center of her chest. Her tattered clothing was becoming renewed in a gold color with many jewels that began to cover her gold gloves and gold skirt……a new power was around Sailor Moon…the power of shadows……signaling the awakening of the sleeping scout guarding no planet but only the shadows……Sailor Shadow…
Now:
Shadows Revealed
(-)()(-)()(-)()
As this transformation of wonderment occurred everyone was in awe to see and somewhat feel a new power growing in her. However that power gave a cold feeling towards them.
What is that cold power I'm sensing? She can't possibly be able to control the shadows like I can, can she? If that is so…I don't know whether or not this Sailor Moon can be trusted… Yami thought to himself as he watched the transformation from the protective dorm that was still apparent. It wasn't until Yami squinted at the still transforming Sailor Moon when he gasp, how could the eye of Ra be upon her? Did she carry a millennium item like himself? Those questions began to run through his mind.
Anzu watched with interest, fear filled eyes. The hazel haired youth was interested in seeing a new transformation of Sailor Moon, however she too did sense a cold power over take her favorite heroine. Fear crept into her body, fear that this new power wouldn't help but destroy.
Yet she kept telling herself Sailor Moon would always fight for good, never would she use her power to destroy or harm the innocent.
With the mutated Xio twins they smirked at the little transformation show Sailor Moon had put on. She's only nearing to her death. There's nothing she can possibly do to save herself now. Let's just attack now, so this little pest can be finally killed. The twins thought in unison. Both twins rose a hand at the transforming Sailor Moon but the gold aura began to slowly disappear. They saw this as an opportunity to strike and did. They each fired a energy ball that was twice the size of their fists. The energy balls came flying at Sailor Moon, colliding together as they reached their target. Everyone gasped for horror, there could be no way Sailor Moon could survive this attack they all thought as a crash noise echoed around them.

The moment the energy balls hit Sailor Moon, she too rose a hand into the air, calling forth a shadow to serve as her shield. It only took her a split second to summon a shadow to her aid; the energy balls collided with the shadow leaving the now fully awakened Sailor Shadow unharmed.
Through the smoke that seemed to come from the collision from the energy balls and Sailor Moon everyone waited for it to clear to see what happened to the fallen heroine. Out of the smoke came walking out a warrior draped in gold clothing, gold wings and jewels that seemed they were embedded into her. Everyone gasped, even the Xio twins. All of them thought Sailor Moon was dead but she wasn't; yet the warrior in front of them didn't look like Sailor Moon but a completely different Sailor Scout all together.
"Who are you! And what is your business here!" one of the twins yelled. All waited in suspense for the new scout to answer the question yelled at her, especially Yami.
The eyes of this scout were a dark sapphire color and seemed to posses no soul at all as she gave a smirk at the twins. The voice of this scout sounded like Sailor Moon but icier and more commanding.
"I am the scout who protects no planet. I am the scout who has been sleeping since the rein of the late Pharaoh of Egypt put him self to sleep to seal off the shadow monsters. I am the scout, that protects the shadows from the evils of mankind. My name if given to you will be the last thing you hear…my name is Sailor Shadow." Sailor Shadow replied her arm raising in the air that stopped when it was above her head. Her hand was in position to snap her fingers, but why would she do such a foolish thing?
The mutated Xio twins smirked. It seemed they had a new little toy to play with for the time being and they were going to take their time killing this one.

Inside the protective doom everyone went crazy with the news of this Sailor Shadow girl. Mokuba and Noa kept asking Yami if he remembered anything of this scout from his reign as Pharaoh to which he sadly shook his head. He looked at Malik who had been staying quiet since the transformation of Sailor Moon into Sailor Shadow.
"Malik?" Yami asked, that caused Malik to looked at Yami's direction. He knew in the eyes of his Pharaoh the question that burned in him to ask.
"My Pharaoh…" he began, searching for the right words to say. "I can't explain everything about this 'Sailor Shadow' but maybe my sister has more knowledge of her than me. I only know that the last time Sailor Shadow came out…was the end of an alliance that lead to a down fall of your kingdom and of another." he spoke, his tone was oddly clam.
Yami crossed his arms, a bit angered with himself for remembering all of his past. The only memories that he had of were of his friends' lives in Egypt. That Seto even though he still chose to deny it was his high priest and Anzu was his beloved Queen…the rest was nothing but a big blur. Anzu went to comfort Yami sensing his anger and placed a soft hand on his shoulder.
Yami was brought out of his little trip down memory lane when Anzu placed her hand on his shoulder. Her blue eyes seemingly asking the silent question are you alright? That lead Yami to nod his head, as he took Anzu's hand off his shoulder with his own. There he kept holding onto her hand, to which Anzu didn't mind. They turned their eyes back onto the battle scene before them, wondering if this new scout could defeat the enemy in their sights.
Yugi was going to comfort his friend Yami but went up to Malik after he spoke to Yami. "Malik what did you mean by Yami's kingdom along with another fell when this scout awoke last time?" he asked.
Malik shook his head as one of his hands ran through his platinum blonde locks. "I only herd tales form my sister, that when this scouts awoke a kingdom far away was destroyed along with the Pharaoh's. Yet from the books I've read the only kingdom that was destroyed around the same time as the Pharaoh's was the legendary Moon kingdom that has been lost for thousands of years." He replied.
Seto over herd this little conversation and smirked. "You've got to be kidding me. A kingdom on the Moon, how could it even exist if there's no air on the Moon let alone a kingdom? And I suppose you're going to tell me if was supported by magic. Pfh." He stated coldly as he crossed his arms.
Malik glared at Seto as his hands balled into fists at his sides. "Look Seto! Magic does exist, otherwise how would you explain this doom that has been protecting us? Or Sailor Mon or the mutated Xio twins! You are going to have to face it sooner of later Seto, the truth of your past! That you were Yami's High Priest in Ancient Egypt! If you still don't believe any of this then please care to explain to us how it could be real without the use of magic!" demanded Malik.
"It's all rather simple, I'm surprised it took me, the genius of Kaiba Corp. some time to figure it out. We are all just hallucinating! There must be something in the air when that supporting pillar came down! Just you wait till I get my lawyers to sue this mall." Seto explained. Mokuba and Noa exchanged glances at each before approaching Seto.
"But big brother you're wrong!" commented Mokuba that surprised Seto to hear something coming from Mokuba.
"Yes, magic does exist, we're not hallucinating!" Noa added. Seto glared not at his brothers but at Malik who glared right back.
"See? Now you've what you've done! Putting these ridiculous thoughts into their heads why I outta-" Seto was cut off when Yugi shouted that they should pay more attention to the fight then bicker amongst themselves. Everyone turned their heads back to the battle wondering who would win.

Meanwhile with the battle between the newly awakened Sailor Shadow and the Xio twins, neither of the three had moved. Sailor Shadow looked like she was about to snap her fingers that to the Yugi-gang looked stupid while the Xio twins smirked.
"What are you going to do? Sailor Moon couldn't defeat us, so what makes you think you can?"
"Because sometimes the only way to defeat someone with powers of the shadows is to use the shadows themselves…" Sailor Shadow replied.
"Ah but you gave your name out and look we're still alive but you won't be for long, attack my sister!" The Xio twin with longer haired ordered. The other twin nodded and both sent more energy balls at Sailor Shadow whom only smirked coldly.
She snapped her fingers and immediately about 10 shadows coming from the cracks of the floor beneath them arose to protect Sailor Shadow. No one could believe that this girl in front of them could posses so much power over the shadows, but what could she do?
The Xio twins themselves were shocked, just how many forms of Sailor Moon could there be? They wondered as they sent energy darts at the long black gold highlight haired Sailor Shadow. The same arm and hand Sailor Shadow had used before came down and quickly waved over the darts, making them disappear only to reappear but heading towards the mutated Xio twins.
At awesome speed they dodged their own attack and encircled Sailor Shadow. She remained clam as her soul-less dark sapphire eyes looked upon only one spot. She soon began to close her eyes as a golden aura surrounded her once more. The aura seemed to go straight into the air as if pulling down something but what? Soon coming down from no where slowly was a card coming down, held by the golden aura.
The mutated and ugly looking Xio twins saw this as an opportunity to strike and did so. Firing energy darts and energy balls at Sailor Shadow. As the darts and energy balls making their rapid appearance closer and closer to Sailor Shadow lightening came forth form the card. As if protecting Sailor Shadow from the on closing weapons that meant to cause her harm.
Sailor Shadow felt the lightening come form the card and opened her eyes. "I summon you now, monster born of the shadows! Come to the aid of your mistress! I summon you now, WINGED DRAGON OF RA!" she shouted. Yami, Anzu and the rest of them were shocked to head such words come from Sailor Shadow's mouth. Just how could she summon that monster from that card? Wasn't that card supposed to be in Yami's deck?
Yami went through his deck only to see his Winged Dragon of Ra card begin to glow then disappear from his hand. Soon emerging with roaring sound was the giant golden bird dragon that was once under the power of the Pharaoh. The golden beast stood behind Sailor Shadow, her golden aura still around her body as she commanded the beast god to attack the foes before her.
The beast god let out another roar and fired it's attack at the mutated Xio twins who only screamed in horror as they felt their flesh melt away from their skin. After the beast God had performed it's task it kneeled down at Sailor Shadow. She gave a cold smile at the beast as she waved her hand over him. "Thank you my loyal friend, your services are no longer needed, go back into the hands of the Pharaoh until I call upon you again." She said, her voice gave void of any emotion.
The God beast began to turn it's self into a golden energy and zapped itself back into Yami's deck appearing before him in a card. Sailor Shadow walked over to the protective doom, waved her hand to make it disappear. No smile or worried look was on her face.
"I take it, you all are well correct?" she asked, her eyes still void of any soul in her body.
"Yes, we're all fine…but where's Serena you guys?" Anzu asked a worried expression was on her face. Sailor Shadow placed a hand behind her back. And snapped her fingers, father away in the corner was a replica of her standing still waiting for orders from the original Sailor Shadow. I will need you to carry my body back to this group after I've de-transformed. Then leave in any way you see fit, but don't cause any harm to any one, understood?
Sailor Shadow asked her little replica through some mind telepathy, in which the shadow gave a nod.
"Yeah and where's Sailor Moon?" Noa asked, with more questions being thrown at Sailor Shadow. However with Yami and Malik they said nothing, when Sailor Shadow looked at Yami she glared and walked towards him. As she walked to the Pharaoh Malik bowed his head.
"Malik why do you bow your head at her?" Anzu asked to which Sailor Shadow replied.
"He knows of great importance I am and I see the Pharaoh has been reincarnated…yet you don't bow to me…hmm I see you still haven't changed." Shadow spoke.
"Why should I bow down to a person who used my god card? How do I know you're of no threat to me or my friends?" Yami asked, with a serious tone in his voice that caused Sailor Shadow to narrow her eyes.
"It would give me some indication you still show respect for me, late Pharaoh. I am starting to question why I gave you power of the shadows when you show no respect to your guardian who just saved you and your little friends."
"What do you mean, I don't understand. You know about my past?" Yami asked in wonderment.
Sailor Shadow only smirked at Yami. "You use the power of the shadows but don't know the history of them? How pathetic you've become if you want to know more about my history or the shadows I suggest you visit someone who knows because I won't give you the answers you seek. As for Sailor Moon I am her, or rather a darker version of her…" She replied. She soon began to feel weak and almost fell down, but she caught herself.
"Are you alright?" Yugi asked with worried filled eyes.

"I'll be fine, I can only hold this form for so long. The powers of light and darkness can not be in one body for too long, so I must go now…" she said then a shadow crept from a crack below them and engulfed Sailor Shadow, transporting her to where her replica was waiting. She de-transformed and as she did a ball of golden energy flew into the replica as she turned back into Serena whom felt very weak. "I wanted to say thank you…" she said softly to the replica.
The replica nodded. "Your welcome and I believe I should get you to your friends before my time limit outside here is up…" spoke the replica that confused Serena a bit, but had no time to question as she fainted from loss of energy. The replica caught Serena, whispering Don't worry little Princess everything will be explained and we will join again. Before she called upon another shadow taking Serena to her cousin and friends.
They were surprised to see Serena in the arms of Sailor Shadow. "It's all right, she only fainted and is very weak. I'll leave her in your care and I'll take my leave now…" the replica of Sailor Shadow said as she gave Serena's body to…Seto? Then before anyone could say thank you the replica was gone, only a ball of golden energy could be seen as it flew away…back across town and into Serena's room where the card filled with darkness laid on the floor. The ball of golden light sank into the card, staying in there as if nothing happened.
"I'll take her Seto. Anzu needs to get her home." Yami said as he held out his arms open to carry Serena. Seto looked down at the blonde hair beauty, his first reaction was to just give her to Yami but he felt…he felt he should watch over her for a while. He shook his head no.
"I'll take her to the doctors, there could be something wrong with her other than energy loss. I'm only repaying the favor when she I guess helped save Mokuba form that monster attack before…so don't get all into it!" he growled then slowly walked off with Serena in his arms along with two snickering little brothers and a very bewildered group of teens.
"I guess then we have nothing to worry about if Serena is gonna be in Kaiba crop's doctor's care…I think we'd better get you home Anzu." Yami suggested to which Anzu nodded in agreement. The gang left the mall without looking back on the broken scene of the mall…wondering if a new enemy was coming and if so…was Sailor Shadow on their side or…on the side of their new enemy?
