"And so," Shadi read on from the bible, adjusting his reading glasses. "The first crime ever recorded to mankind was indeed Cain's crime of killing Abel. But since then, crimes have been happening left to right. Murders, robbery, larceny, arson, rape, abduction…"

"Cool!" Malik's eyes lighted up.

Shadi's eyes bored into Malik's for a second before turning back to the book. "Because all of this, God decided to flood all of earth. But of course, there was one person he could trust."

Kaiba was sitting upon the cloud, shaking his head sadly when he watched violence break out like an epidemic throughout the entire world. In one part of the world, people were stealing from innocent houses before burning them down. Sighing sadly, Kaiba looked on, resting his head on his hand.

All of a sudden, young angel wearing a white robe, black hair, a pair of white wings and a halo on his head appeared from behind. "Seto, what's wrong?"

"What have I done?" Seto shook his head sadly. "My creation, my work. All destroyed. They're out of control!"

"So I've noticed." Mokuba frowned. Placing a hand on Seto's shoulder, Mokuba watched at the violence thundering earth at an alarming rate. "How could one simple crime turn into a chaotic nightmare throughout the world."

"Well, well." a sinister voice called out from behind. "The almighty one can't handle a few problems of larceny and arson?"

Startled, the two looking up, seeing another angel before them. Wearing a white loin cloth around his waist, his aqua hair fell down to his shoulders.

"Dartz," Mokuba glared at the slightly older man, nearly raising his fist. "How could you say that?"

"Well, you see, the divine mother has noticed your burden and has asked yours truly to help you be free from that."

"What does that supposed to mean?" Kaiba stood up, glaring at Dartz. Although he and Dartz had a tendency to not get along, he couldn't hate him.

Smiling softly, Dartz cocked his head to the side. "Not to worry Kaiba, I shall lift you from your troubles." At that, his hand shot out towards them, a huge flash of light blinded the two. The next thing they knew, they were falling out of the sky, the heavens.

"Seto, what's going on!" Mokuba screamed, realizing he can't fly.

"Perhaps this is the divine mother's will." Kaiba looked up at the clouds as the two continued falling, landing only with a thud in the bushes.

In the mean time, Dartz shook his head sadly, watching the violence erupting further in the world. "Interesting, really interesting. You mean to tell me that there is no living sane soul left?" His eyes scanned left to right, trying to overlook the violence. However, his eyes rested on a simple peasant sitting atop on the roof of his small straw home, eating a piece of bread.

"Ah," Dartz had his lips curled into a smile. "That's him."

Ryou sighed heavily. Food was scarce these days. Just by sitting on top of the roof of his small home, he could easily see the chaotic violence occurring over the hills.

"How could the good lord keep going on like this?" Ryou wondered before laying on the roof, looking up at the clouds that moved along with the wind. "So much violence, my next door neighbor Pegasus robbed my cottage twice just to get food. What could be much worse than this?"

All of a sudden, the clouds parted, which wasn't unusual for Ryou to see. Clouds always parted when it was going to rain.

"Ho boy," he said as he hopped off the roof, landing gracefully on the ground. "Looks like it's going to rain after all."

"You." A voice startled him all too quickly.

Nearly jumping, Ryou looked around, his eyes scanning the village to see if someone else was around. "Who's there?"

"Ahem!" the voice cleared his throat. "Ever thought of looking up."

More startled, Ryou looked up at the clouds, realizing that the almighty one was speaking to him. "Oh…my lord…" he laughed nervously. "I'm sorry, I thought it was just one of the other villagers. You know how they are?"

"Right." Dartz arched an eyebrow. "Listen Ryou, take this down."

"Er…okay." Running back in the house, Ryou then came back out with a scrap piece of paper. Dartz tossed him a bird's feather and a bottle of ink.

"In one week, I'm going to flood this entire world." Dartz began to speak.

Ryou's eyes went wide indeed at that thought. "My lord? Are you serious?"

"Let me finish." Dartz gave Ryou the "look".

"Oh…sorry." Ryou took the feather and opened the bottle of ink. "So what does this have to do with me?"

"Well you see. I decided to spare you and your family." Dartz tilted his head to the side. "Now, take this down. The ship has to be 100 feet high and 80 feet long."

"Hundred long…" Ryou jotted it down on the scrap piece of paper. "Eighty high."

"No, no!" Dartz called out. "It's hundred high, eighty long."

"Oh, sorry!" Quickly, Ryou crossed it out and rewrote it. "Hundred high and eighty long."

"Yours truly is going to provide you the wood needed to build the boat. However, you and your sons have to paint the entire boat with tar."

"Tar…tar…" Ryou was lost in thought for the moment. "But my lord, I don't have tar. Well, I used to but it's been stolen. I mean, you know how things are here."

"There are at least five jars of tar in Pegasus house. Get it from there."

"But that's stealing." Ryou's eyes widened. "I could never sink myself to that level."

"Look at it this way. You are exempted from this sin, just for one time. And, I want the boat to look like this." He then tossed a drawing of a large boat into Ryou's hands.

"Er…okay." Ryou looked over the drawing.

"And…" the clouds began to move to close the huge space that revealed Dartz. "You must take with you two of every animal. Both male and female!"

And so they went to work. That is, Yugi and Malik went to work on the boat, building it with the wood the lord had provided for them. Meanwhile, Ryou was laying down on the blanket on the ground, pouring himself some water in a coconut, singing to himself.

"You put the water in the coconut and throw the jar away." Ryou then proceeded to throw the jar to the side. "You put the water in the coconut and throw the jar away." he then tossed another empty jar to the side when a loud noise came about.

"Ryou!" Malik looked down at his father with a glare, rubbing his head.

"Oh sorry." Ryou smiled, sipping on the water from his coconut cup.

"Hey wait a minute," Yugi was about to proceed to finish up the top part of the boat. "Aren't you supposed to help us with the boat?"

"Oh yeah." Ryou smiled. "Okay, I guess I'll help."

(-)

By the 6th day, the boat was finally finished. Ryou, Malik and Yugi were covered in sweat from the hard work that had went into the boat.

"So…" Yugi arched an eyebrow. "What now?"

"Well," Ryou looked over the list. "God told me to bring two of each animal."

"Well that shouldn't be a problem." Malik grinned. With his two fingers, he whistled in an extremely loud and shrieking tone. For a moment, there was silence, nothing was heard. Then all of a sudden, a loud rampage of animals nearly created a stampede before they crowded around Ryou's cottage.

"Wow…" Ryou's eyes lit up. "Just…wow."

Yugi proceeded to open the entry to the boat, pushing a ramp big and sturdy enough for the animals. "Malik, are you sure we need this much animals?"

"Well, that's what the lord said." Ryou answered. "Two of each animal in this world. You guys go in and bring your wives along and I'll take care of the animals."

"You know," Anzu smiled. "If the man upstairs said he's going to flood the world and only we lived, how are we going to survive?"

"That's for the lord to decide." Ryou smiled. Taking out a checklist, he stood by the entrance of the ramp, all the animals lining up. All of a sudden, a lion ran up the ramp at an alarming speed, nearly causing Ryou to fall down. As he watched the lion go inside, he scratched his head for a moment.

"Did that lion had a turban wrapped around his head?" he wondered.

Next came in the sheep. Except Ryou had a bit of a problem determining if they were a male and a female each. They looked the same to him. He could have sworn that he heard them talking about things of the shadow realm.

Next came the elephants, over powering Ryou with their massive height. They were about to go in until suddenly…

"Hold it!" Ryou stopped the two. "One of you has to stay behind. Where's the female elephant?"

"Er…" Alistar glanced at Raphael.

"Um…" Raphael looked up at Alistar, unsure of what to say. And before Ryou could go any further, the two ran inside the boat.

"Aw man!" Ryou felt dumbfounded indeed.

Then a pair of dogs simply stood there, looking up at Ryou curiously, not really bothered if they should go in. Looking down at the collars, one said Joey while the other labeled the second dog Serenity.

"Hey what's the hold up?" an arrogant voice called out from behind.

The two dogs looked up seeing two pairs of peacocks right behind them.

"This is so humiliating." Mokuba ruffled his feathers, twitching his head.

"Hey you!" Joey looked down at the other peacock that called out to him, staring at the ground. "We just don't see the point of why we have to go inside this huge boat!"

"Once a Wheeler, always a Wheeler." Kaiba's eyes glared down at the dogs.

And at that, Joey's paw began to swing at Kaiba, a huge fight between the two animals began to break out. Serenity and Mokuba tried to hold the other back as it carried on onto the ramp and inside the boat.

"Ho boy…" Ryou shook his head.

"I told you to hurry up!" What seemed like a girl's voice shrilled.

Looking up, Ryou noticed two giraffes that were bickering. On one of the giraffe's back was a small white dove, looking about, watching the two giraffes argue before winking at Ryou, smiling.

"Well…I guess that's the last of them." Ryou then walked on to the boat's entrance, closing the door. Going to the main room, he saw his sons sitting there, looking a bit bored, the animals just standing there on the other side of the room.

"What's wrong?" Ryou looked around, noticing how dead the room is.

"It's so boring." Rebecca cried out, resting her head on Yugi's.

"Wait, I have an idea." Malik's eyes lit up. Taking out a radio, he placed in a CD. All of a sudden, the sounds of "Brick House" blasted the speakers as he, Anzu, Yugi, Rebecca, and possibly the rest of the animals began dancing.

"Wow…" Ryou arched an eyebrow. "I mean…wow."

And so the next day, it had rained hard for the next forty days and forty nights. However, deciding not to take the risk, they decided not to come out until at least two weeks later. Yugi, Malik, Rebecca, Anzu and Ryou stepped off of the boat, noticing they were only surrounded by water. Nothing but water.

"How in the world are we going to find land?" Yugi looked around. "We can't rely staying in this boat forever. Plus, there are animals that are preparing for breeding season!"

"Wait!" Marik wore a look as if he had an idea. "I got it!" He ran back inside the boat carrying out one of the peacocks. With his hand in a throwing position, he tossed the peacock out of the boat.

"Er…Malik." said Ryou as he watched what was going on. "Peacocks don't fly."

Malik's face blushed, slightly ashamed at his mistake. "Oh…I didn't know." Picking up the lifesaver, he tossed it inside the water. Miraculously, the peacock managed to pop from the water, grabbing the lifesaver for dear life.

Sighing to himself, Ryou went back inside the boat, looking at the crowd of animals. "All right, which one of you can actually fly?"

The animals looked about at each other with a questioned look on their faces. All of a sudden, their attention turned towards Tristan, the white dove sitting on Mai's back.

"What?" Tristan looked about with a confused look before looking at Ryou. "Oh…uh oh." Hopping off of the giraffe's back, he followed Ryou outside the boat.

Meanwhile, they found Anzu standing upon the edge with Malik behind. Malik had Anzu's arms stretched out to the sides, looking over at the sea.

"Hey you two." Ryou cleared his throat. "Get down from there."

"Oh jeez Ryou." Malik glanced at him. "Can't you see we needed a moment of privacy. We hadn't had one the last forty days and nights." But obediently, they got down from the edge of the boat.

The dove sat, perched upon the edge of the boat for a moment before flying off. One hour passed on to two, then three before he came back with a twig in its mouth.

"Well it's about time." Yugi crossed his arms over his chest. "So there must be land after all."

(-)

"So in due time," Shadi closed the bible, placing it on the teacher's desk. "They managed to find land. The lord then told them to let all the animals run around and multiply and advised Noah to go on and bear many children."

"Wait a minute," Yugi raised his hand. "It didn't say Noah had a wife. How could he bear any more children."

Shadi shrugged. "I guess he was referring to his kids."
