Hi! Well, I am back for whatever reason possessed me to write this story. Does anyone here think I should get the Exorcist trilogy and The Exorcist: The Beginning? It would cost eighty bucks, and I haven't seen any of the movies yet, but whatever. I am so psyched because on YuGiOh dot com there's this radio with all anime songs! Yesterday I was listening to the YuGiOh season two theme, and the song from the credits of the second Pokemon movie, plus songs from YGO the Movie, and Music to duel by, as well as the TMNT theme and the One Piece theme. Cool! And they had the earlier Pokemon theme! I wanna be the very best! Like no one ever was. To catch them is my real test; to train them is my cause! I will travel across the land, searching far and wide! Each Pokemon to understand, the power that's inside! And so on and so on… AWESOME! Anyway, read on!
Disclaimer: I own none of the songs mentioned above, or YuGiOh.
Akefia woke up early that morning, and stretched his muscles; rolling over to un-cramp them. He soon realized what a mistake that was, as he fell off the top limestone block on the pyramid he and Marik had fallen asleep on, landing on the hard stone on the block below. "OW! Ra…my head!" Marik looked at Akefia with a smile on his face, listening to the young thief swear. "Ra damn it, who put the F'ing stone there in the first place? Stupid Egyptian slaves…" Akefia groaned and finally got up. "Nice to see you're up at last!" Marik said, smirking. "You, shut up! Wait, on second thought, make breakfast!" Akefia sat back down on the block he'd fallen off of, and drew his knees to his chest with his arms, pouting in the cutest way.
Sighing, Marik began to make his way down the pyramid. "Akefia, are you coming or are you planning on sitting there forever!" Muttering about something, Akefia stood up and climbed down the pyramid with Marik. They trekked through the desert once more, searching for something edible for breakfast. All of a sudden, Akefia shouted, "Look, there's something over there in the distance!" Marik stared at the place Akefia was pointing at, and shook his head. "I think either the sun is getting to you, or that bump on your head rattled you ever more than I thought!" Akefia scowled. "No, trust me; there is something there!" He kept on insisting it so at last Marik gave in, running across the desert with Akefia to see what exactly was there.
They reached the horizon and still there was nothing there, and Marik turned to face Akefia. "Happy now! There's nothing there! You led us on a wild goose chase!" (BTW, I'm listening to the YuGiOh season two theme on the YuGiOh dot com radio! ) Akefia raised a finger to his lips and motioned for Marik to be quiet. He pressed his ear to the ground, trying to sense vibrations. There was a faint thudding sound in the distance, which all too quickly became a roar of hooves and shouts as soldiers on horseback came riding towards them. "RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" Akefia shouted, pushing Marik ahead while he ran behind him, as the soldiers filled the horizon from left to right. Marik looked behind them, and saw the soldiers. His eyes widened, and he shouted in fear, "LOOK OUT! IT'S THE APOCALYPSE!" (LOL, I had to add that!)
Running for their lives, they yelped as the soldiers got ever closer. A village was coming up, and they both ran towards it. (OMG, The Pokemon theme song is on again! You teach me and I'll teach you! POKEMON!) Marik ran further ahead of Akefia, and Akefia yelled out to him, "Slow down Marik, otherwise we'll get lost!" Marik waited for Akefia and together they both ran into a random house. The house seemed to be empty, so they rushed to get to the cellars, and the boys hid in the wine barrels as the soldiers rode through the village, massacring everything in sight. Akefia could hear the screams as the soldiers rode through the town and murdered many innocent people, and a fire burned within him as he recalled his own village. He closed his eyes as if doing that could erase the noises.
All of a sudden, a raging white fire that had always been burning in Akefia's soul was unleashed. With his eyes closed, Akefia couldn't see his talisman (yep, he still has it!) glow white and the light that poured out of it. He blocked his ears as he heard more screams, but this time it was the soldiers that were screaming, as they were attacked by a raging ivory beast that swallowed them and consumed their souls. Once all of the soldiers had been disposed of, the beast roared to the sky and disappeared in a blinding flash of red light, joining Akefia's soul once more. The screaming stopped, and Akefia opened his eyes, getting out of the wine barrels with Marik.
"What happened?" he asked, confused. "I don't know…" Marik whispered, scared by the eerie silence. They walked out of the cellar, and gasped as they saw that there was no longer a house to which that cellar belonged. It was just a few broken walls made of mud bricks. It was the same with all the other houses. The entire village was flattened, and the corpses lined the street, bleeding, and missing limbs. "What…what did this? It can't have been the soldiers…they're gone, and I can see their bodies here to!" Marik shook his head. "It doesn't make sense!"
Akefia was shaking, looking around at the scene. Those bodies…it was almost as devastating as the massacre of his village. Marik noticed Akefia shaking, and pulled him into a hug. "It's okay…it's over now…" Akefia calmed down after a while, but when they both left the village, he still carried a heavy heart. To know the unknown was deadly, so it was best that neither boy knew that Akefia was the one who was responsible for that massacre they'd just faced. (That first part of the line was inspired by 'To Know The Unknown' which is just playing on YuGiOh radio!) Akefia sighed, and walked slowly, trying to contemplate what had just happened. Meanwhile, news of the attack had just reached the ears of the Pharaoh.
To know the unknown…to know the unknown! Don't want all the answers, but one thing is true! As long as my heart beats, I'll always love you! To know the unknown…so sue me; I remember that from the Pokemon movie credits! I miss Pokemon, I don't watch it anymore cause the Advanced series is screwed up. Sorry about the slightly shorter chapter. Another Pokemon song! And now they're playing Time To Duel! This rocks! I'm in heaven listening to this! Anyway, thanks:
Computerfreak101 –Okay…well, this isn't going to be yaoi. So no romance then, not between anyone. If the readers want Set and Kisara, too bad! Mwahaha! This will go on for a while, not a year, but close. Die Mr. Ishtar! Well, Akefia didn't drown, and as if you thought he would! For one, he is still alive when the Pharaoh gets trapped in the puzzle, and two, he is my fave guy so I would never dare kill him off! Thanks for reviewing!
ttSerenity –I read the story of your pen name. It was very interesting! Wish I had a story behind my name…darn it. And you would hate that story! Noah is already dead, so you can celebrate his death while I mourn it with all my heart…I miss Noah! (cries) My little angel is gone! Thanks for reviewing!
Stormrose Dewleaf –Yes, Marik needs to learn to steal to survive. Aurora, you aren't a Goddess, you are a maniac, but I say that in a good way. See ya! Thanks so much for reviewing!
Seto's Sister –I don't think I've read it… Your friend rollerblades? I don't know how to do that…never tried. I'm glad she found the Pharaoh's description amusing! I'll have to re-read that to see what was so funny. How is she making herself bleed? I would only do that so I could wear my YuGiOh band aids, and even then I wouldn't want to do it. Thanks for reviewing!
Mean girls is a weird song…I don't know why it's playing on the YuGiOh radio. Wierdness to the max.
Love Sami.
