Angel-(Laughs.) Poor Angel. Maybe you should put a bell around his neck or something. Hmm, if Heero bars you from reading, doesn't that put him in the dog house with you? (Nods to your statement in accord.) She's telling the truth Heero, here just look at the nice dragon. (Reaches into the realm of creatures and 'borrows,' the Blue Eyes.) See, isn't he cute? (Reaches back into the realm, and grabs Toon Blue Eyes.) See, nice dragon. (Winces.) I think I need to return these now, I can just hear Kaiba...and Pegasus.
Flame Ivy Moon-What about Fate and Destiny? Wow, interesting schedule you've got there. (Winks.) I see you found your chapters.
Anime Princess-Ah, 'ello. :) Thank you. In time the memory will return. Nope I didn't forget about them, just distracted.
Kallista Starshooter-Right on the dot, it's her, but, she won't be doing anything here.
CosmosAngel1-Aww, thanks. Yep, maybe not until S.S. Well, will see. Also, one of your guesses is right on the dot. REALLY! I would love to see the drawing of Fate. Sorry, about your letter taking so long. The post office notified me that they lost it...(growls.) So, now I have to re-write and draw the picture again. I resend it soon. Hopefully they won't loose this one.
Raining Silver-What isn't very clear? Oh, I know Odion is Isis's adopted brother, but there is no blood ties between them, so it's not a true problem.
D-Yeah, it has to multiple pairings because the poll's numbers got into the thousands that it would only be fair. I do have a Y/S chapter story on hold. If you would like to read a one-shot of them, check out Desert Oasis under Egyptian Affairs : Chances.
Thank you all for your reviews, and no ownership.
Fate withheld a curse as the scene turned darker in her viewing cauldron. Destiny worked precariously with the loom, occasionally yanking a strand out and re-weaving it some where else. Both of the sisters wore identical expression of quiet rage. Yanking a bit to hard on one of the strings, Destiny yelped, and blew on the new rope burn on her finger. Fate shook her head, shooing Destiny away from the loom, and tied off the strings. "I think we need a vacation." Fate remarked lightly to her sister as she splashed a palm into the viewing cauldron. Destiny sighed, ordering the view to alight on the furious Cosmos.
"Oh, I bet she regrets those words of 'Bring it on," don't you think?" Destiny inquired, and both the sister's laughed.
At the exact moment in time, that thought was ringing through Cosmos head, as she ducked her Egyptian's family's staves. Cartwheeling out of the way of Dark Magician Girl's high sweep, she had to bend head over back to avoid Dark Magician's stab. Nearly getting hit in the shoulder by Magick's whack, she twisted left, and was unpleasantly surprise by a forth staff. This one was being wielder by Magician of Black Chaos, and it hit home on her left side. She plopped down from the force of the strike, holding her side with a simpering glare of unfairness. However, her pouting was cut short as a blade flashed, and she flipped backwards. Now she noted more of the shadow realm creatures joining in on her training. Smirking lightly, she felt her blood pumped in answer to the challenge, and she lifted her staff in a ready position. "Well if that is the way you want to play it." She murmured, and concentrated on her latent shadow powers. "Then, I guess I'll even the odds." Usagi whispered, and a form of a magic card flashed before there were two carbon copies of her standing beside her.
Seto Kaiba tapped idly on his desk, scanning over his duel outcomes that the vid-station spit out. His features presented a deeper scowl as he glared at the screen. Obviously, the results were not to his liking. Even with his powerful three blue-eyes white dragons, it seem he would be at odds with the youth known as Yugi. He entered another variable and waited for the results. His virtual duel was interrupted by a video phone message. Irritated he clicked on it, and waited for the explanation to follow.
A beautiful tanned young lady, drew a hand through her long raven locks in distress. Lapis blue eyes focused inward, over-viewing her last memory of something past. She shifted, and sun glinted off her millennium item around her neck, the Millennium Tauk. One hand held two interesting duel cards in her hands, one a terribly powerful blue god, and the other a mostly blank card except for a spine holding two gems. The other hand rested on the eye in the middle of the Tauk, a tired smile stretching across her face. "It's almost time to set things right." She whispered, and lifted the phone to place a call. The screen snapped to life and she was greeted with the ice blue eyes of the forgotten High Priest. "Seto Kaiba, I have a intriguing offer for you." She spoke and watched his calculated gaze scan her. Needing his help to retrieve the Pharaoh as well she cast one last bait. "I have something that will help you in defeating a certain Motou Yugi." Her offer hit home, as she saw his eyes darkened.
"Fine, where?" He snapped out, and she with held a triumphant smile.
"Museum, Egyptian Exhibit." She answered and clicked the phone to it's cradle. Looking once more at the nearly blank card, she hid it into one of her sleeves. An hour later, the CEO stormed into the Egyptian Exhibit, his trench coat flashing angrily behind him. A hand held a silver briefcase, the knuckles white due to the grip placed upon it. His boots clicking heavily as he stepped up to the female that stood waiting for him.
"Now, who are you, and what do you want with me?" Kaiba asked, glaring lightly at the female.
"Hello Seto Kaiba, I am Isis Ishtar." She greeted easily. Kaiba gave her an appraising glare, before she continued. "If you would look over here." Isis asked drawing his attention to the large slab with a strange familiarity to him. "Look closely if you will." She instructed. Kaiba huffed lightly and leaned closer, withholding a gasp as he did.
"What kind of trickery is this Ishtar?" He gritted out as he studied the slab.
"None, for Kaiba that is you, the High Priest." Isis murmured. "Five thousand years ago, you were second to the Pharaoh in power." She stated and then gestured to the other person upon the slab. "Across from you is the Pharaoh.." Isis was cut off.
"Yugi?" Kaiba intruded, sneering. "I don't believe it." He dead panned, scoffing and turned away. "Don't waist my time." Kaiba stated, and started to walk off.
"Wait, as you can see you commanded the Blue-Eyes, even then!" Isis remarked. Kaiba turned looking over his shoulder, before facing Isis fully and glaring.
"You know nothing." He hissed out.
"I know that I have a card that can beat your rival 'Motou Yugi.'" She plead lightly, catching his attention.
"Really?" Kaiba inquired. "Well, lets see this all powerful card." He muffed out, staring at Isis. Isis drew a blue card presenting it to Kaiba with a smirk. He scanned it, noting it's power and effects, before gazing at Isis. "It mentions, 'other god cards.'" Kaiba points out with a smirk.
"Indeed, there are three, this is just one of them." She mentioned. Kaiba perked up his ears at the information, weighing each word. "The Winged Dragon of Ra, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and the one you hold in your hand, Obelisk the Tormentor." She listed. Kaiba raised an eyebrow of interest, wheels turning behind his eyes.
"I demand the other two." He crunched out. Isis shook her head, and small growl released from him.
"I do not have the other two, they were lost." Isis answered. "However, if you hold a tournament, with Obelisk as a lure, I am sure the other two will show." Isis taunted and Kaiba smirked.
"Indeed, and I'll be able to have my revenge." Kaiba remarked. Isis said nothing, just watched him leave out the door before raising a weary hand to her temple.
"I will have the three god cards come together, and they will fall in the pharaoh's hands, to free my brother." Isis commented and fished out the other card she had hidden away. Glancing down at it, she sighed sadly. "If only.." She whispered, and turned placing the card away assured that Kaiba will help her free her brother from the darkness.
Kaiba entered his room, observing the new powerful card in his procession before smirking. "The title of number one duelist shall be mine again, Yugi." He promised, and slipped into his bed, but not before placing a call to the news, and a call to his company.
Morning dawned, and with it the news of a new, big tournament, held by the CEO of Kaiba Corporation. Yugi and his friends watched the announcement as Isis had predicted. She had also talked to Yami the other day, telling him about the god cards and Marik. Yugi handed control to Yami, and they quickly went to register. When Joey stepped up there was a glitch preventing him from joining, but it was quickly cleared. After they had the first meeting with the shadowy duelist that served Marik. Joey lost to him, forcing to hand over his red-eyes black dragon, but Yami swore to win it back. Hunting down the duelist, Yami made good on his promise, and won back the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. Battle City, had officially begun as the Yugi-tachi and the Kaiba brothers walked the path of their destinies.
Apollo shook his head as he watched the ruthless actions of some of the duelists. Observing the familiar face of Bakura, the Yugi-tachi, and several others. He also watched the shifty figure called 'Namu,' enter and battle roughly. Then Seto and Mokuba declared they were going to patrol the streets. Apollo merely sighed as the dismissed his warnings and left. He ran a frustrated hand through his bangs before the communicator that kept him in contact with the brothers beeped drawing his attention. "Apollo, I need you to check over the blimp, and make sure it's ready for the finals." Seto ordered, Apollo nodded and left toward the blimp.
Finally the six finalists were standing at the bread-width of the blimp, following the eldest Kaiba into it. Kaiba nodded to Apollo as he entered, giving him the information of the happenings so far. Apollo glanced over the Yugi-tachi and Mokuba after he heard about the kidnaping made by a devious duelist called Marik. Apollo withheld his 'I warned you,' and went instead to the bridge to observe the control center. The two kaiba brother's appeared shortly there after, programming the course of their trek. Apollo settled into a chair, as Seto and Mokuba went to start the semi-final's on top of the blimp. "What I wouldn't give to teach those boys how to fly." Apollo bit out as he heard the little tid-bit of the gale force winds. "Though Seto doesn't believe in things like that..ahh!" He yelp frustrated, and slapped a weary hand to his forehead. "Well, we are on a blimp, not much can happen, so I'm going to my room to mediate." He told on of the other 'suits,' standing around. The man nodded, and Apollo left the bridge.
No sooner did Apollo place psi-shields up, and lit some incense did the blimp suffer turbulence. He yelped in surprise as he slid to one side, before it straightened. A near unfamiliar voice came over the speakers, announcing their based crash. "That sounded like Noa..." Apollo declaimed and stood up to exit the craft as per was demanded over the speakers. However, keeping a shield up to mask his presence, as the voice had demanded that none of the staff leave the ship, or else. He slipped out behind the tall brunette known as Tristan.
Ah, one more chapter left, and then finally I can concentrate fully on Sunrise Sunset. Enjoy, and please review.
Much Care,
WolfchildBlazer
