Heyaz everyone! Sorry for the long wait had a lot of work. Anywayz, thankies for the reviews! Now I've been asked this about if Asha loves Seto or Jono so I'll be quick with the response. BEFORE Asha was taken to be Seto's sex slave she and Jono held a really tight bond and in a way you may call it love. But now she loves Seto and Jono knows that. BUt she still has some sort of... family love... you might say for Jono... and YAY! Finally the Italics work! So anywayz, here's the next part. Oh and the battle you'll read is somewhat similar to the battle Ishizu mentioned to Seto in the museum... so keep your eyes peeled and read on!


Another week had passed and still there was no sign of the High Priest. Asha was starting to grow desperate. She didn't sleep at night and hardly ate anything. Her friends tried to persuade her to eat more and to get some rest but it never worked. Sometimes Bakura and Malik had to use their powers to force the poor slave to sleep, but even when doing that, she only slept for two hours, at the most four before waking up to nightmares.

The nightmares consisted of Duke brutally killing Seto, leaving him in the desert to rot and decay. And then Devlin would come after Asha and rape her again and again, claiming her as his own. It also showed Devlin challenging Yami and taking his throne and then the world would plunge into darkness. And after that Asha would always sit up screaming and shaking madly. The others would normally rush into her to see if she was safe from immediate danger and try to console her. When she explained her nightmares they grew somewhat worried, knowing that some evil was lingering in the air and would soon happen...

Asha bolted right up and was panting heavily as she had to relive the nightmare she had for the pass week again. Yet this time she didn't scream, which she was greatful for becasue she didn't want to worry her friends excessively.

Jono was alseep beside her, snoring softly. For the past few days he slept with her just to keep an eye on her. Asha felt vulnerable alone and she was greatful her friend as doing this... but it wasn't the same as Seto's warmth and love...

Sighing Asha got out of bed silently, pulling the silk covers over Jono's torso before leaving the room. She glanced up and down the halls. They were empty. She started to make her way along them quietly, her gentle footfalls quietly making soft echoes.

She went down a couple flights of stairs till she arrived on the main level and went outside to the Yami's vast garden. It was beautiful this garden. Seto often took here here. Flowers of possible every colour lined the walls and ground. Great huge palm and trees towered over the gardens and reached way high... a few reached the windows on the second level.

Asha trekked through the massive garden quietly till she passed under a stone archway into another chamber... the Duelling Grounds.

Often Seto has taken Asha here too where different deciples use tablets of any monster from the Shadow Realm and summon them to battle. Sometimes Seto battled some of his priests or Yami's magicians just for practice. Even Bakura and Malik duelled once in a while, though they really goofed off, not paying serious attention though Asha knew if the duo wanted to be serious, they could.

The slave wandered around the Duelling Grounds, sighing unhappily as she looked at all the stone columns and passageways... a throne was placed near the middle of the duelling field for Yami to sit upon when he felt like watching some duels. A few meters above his head was a huge oval shaped stone with a large oval shaped green emerald in the center. It stated that he was under Ra's guidance and protection when he watched the duels.

As the girl wandered aimlessly around, a bright golden light came from behind a column. Asha turned to it, intrigued. Suddenly a figure stepped out from behind the stone column... holding the Millennium Rod...

Seto! Asha's heart screamed but she shook her head roughly.

A couple times before she thought she had seen the High Priest but everytime she ran to him, she realised it was just a figment of her imagination.

It must be another one now... Asha thought sadly as she looked at what supposedly was just a mirrage.

However, Seto turned to her, the Millennium Rod still glowing brightly as he approached her slowly. Asha observed him with curiousity... which turned to shock. Somewhere, deep inside Asha's heart, it was telling her this was the real Seto... it HAD to be... for never before had she seen him with the Millennium Rod in her imagination... never... and when always she was near him, a strange feeling deep inside her would always occur. It was Seto...

"Seto!" Asha cried out in joy as she dashed towards her lover, arms outstretched.

But as she neared the High Priest, he brought back his arm and knocked her to the ground roughly. Asha yelped slightly as she was slammed into the rock covered ground. She rubbed her backside tenderly before looking up at her lover with confused eyes.

"Seto?"

"Don't you dare call me by my first name you wretched piece of filth!" the High Priest snarled. Asha's eyes widen in shock. His voice, which was always laced with love and care had only hatred and anger... and his eyes... which always shone with love whenever he glanced upon Asha was now full of pure venom...

"You are nothing but a worthless sex slave! You have no right to call me upon my name girl! I am your master and that is what you are to call me upon!" Seto continued angrily as he approached her, a dark aura surrounding him.

Asha pushed herself to her feet, still confused. She approached Seto, her hands gently touching his arms. At this Seto slapped her hard in the face, making her barrel into a stone column.

"Do not touch me with those hands full of disease!" he snapped as he approached her again.

"S-Seto! What happened to you?" Asha asked as she shook her head to rid it of her dizziness.

Seto stormed over to her, his hand clamping onto her throat and lifting her up slightly before slamming her against the column again, keeping her pinned.

"Did you not hear me?! Do not speak my name bitch! And as for what happened to me, it was you! You turned my world upside down and ruined it for me! Because of you I had grown soft hearted and caring! I had lost the respect of the people when I became more kind! Thanks to you I've become nothing! But now I see the light... and now that I do... I know exactly what to do... get rid of you!" he snarled, his hand squeezing against her delicate throat. Asha coughed slightly, squriming under his strong grip.

"B-But Seto!" she choked, receiving another brutal slap but she continued anyway. "B-But if you a-are to g-get rid of me, what shall I do? I thought we loved each other!" At this Seto let out a cold, cruel laugh.

"Me? A person of immense power love a mere sex slave? Ha! What a joke! For a ruler to love is weakness! To have feelings for another would lead to their immense downfall! I have now realised that and I am glad that I did before it became too late!" he yelled at her.

"As for what you shall I do, I shall tell you! I am no longer your master! And you are still nothing more then a petty sex slave that I used for just my own enjoyment! But you now have a new master!"

"A n-new m-master?" Asha croaked as she struggled to get more air into her lungs.

"Yes! A new master! And your new master is Emperor Devlin!" the High Priest roared.

Asha froze. No... it cannot be... not Devlin! Asha thought as she looked at her lover with pleading eyes, begging him not to do this. Seto, who seemed to have read her thoughts, responded harshly.

"Yes! Devlin! You belong to him now and will do everything he asks! If he asks you to have sex with an elephant then you will wholeheartedly have sex with an elephant! If he asks you to swim in a lake naked and full of man eating pirrahnas, then you will swim in a lake naked full of man eating pirrahnas! You will do everything he says for he is your master now!"

Asha couldn't believe this. Seto, the only one she truly cared for and given her heart to has turned stone cold and shows nothing for her, nothing at all. Asha's mixed coloured eyes started to fill with tears as she looked into Seto's eyes, the eyes that always reassured her with love, warmth and protection... the eyes that always showed love, the eyes that- wait, his eyes!

Asha gasped as Seto's eyes, once a beautiful colour of the brightest sapphire was now a dark, murky navy blue with black... and... he had no pupils either...

Devlin! Asha's mind spoke immediately. It had to be Devlin! He must have done something to Seto the minute he had kidnapped him... So that's why he is acting this way... Devlin must have put a spell on him... but I thought Seto had more power then the Dark Emperor... something isn't right...

Just then Asha could hear something else... she could hear the running footsteps deep within the palace that were running closer to her location. Because of all the screaming and shouting Seto made, no wonder the palace was awake and about. The footsteps neared closer and closer when all of a sudden Yami, Teana, Malik, Bakura, Mysticy, Nileoi, Jono, Honda, Serena and along with a dozen guards arrived in the Duelling Grounds.

"What's going on around here?! Seto! Thank goodness! We thought you we-" Yami started as he saw his friend but then stopped as witness the High Priest choking Asha against the stone column. At his voice Seto turned to him, hand still pinning Asha as a dark grin formed upon his face.

"Well well Pharaoh... I was wondering when you'd praise us with your appearance" Seto sneered. Yami blinked, confused.

"Seto! What has happened to you? Why are you trying to kill your loved one?" Yami asked as he slowly approached him. Seto let out another cold laugh.

"My loved one? Ha! Seems everyone is mistaken greatly! She is no loved one to me! Jsut a worthless creature!"

"How can you say that Seto?! You two loved each other with all your hearts!" Teana shrieked angrily.

"All out hearts?! ALL OUR HEARTS??? I have no heart! Never did and never will! And I'm glad! I may have grown soft but that will all change, starting right now!"

"What do you mean?" Malik asked cautiously.

"Meaning she is no longer mine! She now belongs to Devlin!"

"DEVLIN??? ARE YOU MAD SETO???!!!" Bakura roared at him.

"Wait a moment! Devlin... yes! It has to be his doing! He must have done something to Seto when he took him..." Yami said, pacing slightly. Seto chuckled.

"Very clever of you Pharaoh... but now you shall no something else..." Seto said as he released Asha from his grip and she dropped to the ground. Jono quickly dashed over to her, taking her into his arms as he glared at the High Priest.

"Oh? And what is that Seto?" Yami demanded.

Seto chuckled again as he made his way to one side of the vast duelling ground. Still not reesponding his Millennium Rod glowed again and behind ten, twelve, at least eighteen people in long black sweeping cloaks appeared behind him before sitting down crossed legged. Seto muttered a few words to them before turning to Yami and the others, a cruel smirk on his face. That's when it dawned on Yami.

"I see..." he said slowly as he made his way to his thrown. Just as he did, some of Yami's own personal magicians, who he trained himself, appeared out of the archways on the opposite side of the duelling field.

"What's happening?" Serena asked Bakura, looking from Seto to Yami's magicians.

"A duel is going to happen..." Bakura whispered.

And then before Seto and Yami's magicians, six enormous stone tablets each appeared before both sides, lined up in a row, face up. Seto smirked again, his eyes blazing. He then held up his Millennium Rod high and spoke, his voice echoing across the duelling grounds.

"I hereby declare a challenge to the Pharaoh. By the rights of tradition duel me if you are not a coward".

And as he said this, the dozen or so men behind him started to chant a phrases over and over.

"Magic powers heed my cry, release the monsters trapped inside... Magic powers heed my cry, release the monsters trapped inside!"

And as they chanted this, one of the stone tablets that was in front of Seto raised itself vertically. On it showed the engraved picture of a winged demon... and then the demon emerged from the tablet!

It was purple in colour with long sharp claws and fangs. It had large purple wings on its back, the insides red. It also had two long red tentacles, one blue eye on each of its hips and a long deadly tail. It was known as the Lord of Zemia, a dangerous terrible beast. The monster let out a roar as it glared at its opponent.

One of Yami's magicians stepped forward where as the others sat crossed legged behidn him, like Seto's magicians were doing. The magician who had stepped forward was known as Kamir. Asha had been introduced to him before. He was a very nice person but was also one of Yami's high ranked magicians.

"As the Pharaoh's loyal servant I will stand against you traitor!" Kamir declared as he raised a long golden staff before him.

As he did, one of his own stone tablets arose vertically, showing the carved picture of a dragon. The other magicians behind him were chanting also, but a different chant then Seto's magicians.

"Led to be one... Led to be one..."

And out emerged the dragon, blue in colour with sharp fangs and three sharp spikes trailing along its back. It was known as the Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress, a very deadly dragon it was.

"I banish you all to the Shadow Realm!" Kamir then announced and his Winged Dragon formed a large purple ball of energy in its mouth before launching it at Lord of Zemia.

The fiend monster cried out in pain before dispersing, its tablet falling backwards. Then the sky above them became dark as lightning bolts came from the sky and zapped at least six to eight of Seto's magicians. They cried out in pain before they were transported to the Shadow Realm. Seto shielded his eyes from the bright intensity of the light.

When the lightning died down Seto was glaring angrily but however was not totally fazed. Raising his Sennen Rod again, he called upon another of his monsters.

Another tablet rose and on it was the engraving of a man with mustache. And then out appeared a green human with big muscles and a whip like tail instead of feet. It had gold braces on its arms and wrists and one around it neck along with a some sort of blue hat upon its head. The creature chuckled. The monster was known as La Jinn, Genie of the Lamp.

"Your La Jinn may be strong but do you think I would not come prepared? It is no match for the combinedfury of my dragons!" Kamir exclaimed as another one of the tablets on his side of the field rose, showing the engravenment of a long serpent like creature.

"Led to be one... Led to be one..." the other magicians continued chanting as the monster emerged from its tablet.

It was green in colour. It had sharp fangs and big green wings. It was known as the Sinister Serpent, another deadly creature from the depths of the Shadow Realm.

"Unite my dragons! You shall be unstoppable!" Kamir said as electrical energies formed around the SInister Serpent and the Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress. Just then the monsters fused and when the light died down it showed a new monster.

It was a long serpent like shaped monster. It was bronze in colour and had hard tough scales that encircled its whole body. Its claws were sharp and deadly as was its mouth, with sharp, glittering fangs. Its wings were masive, the insides a shiny silvery colour. It was known as the mighty Kaiser Dragon, one of the strongest dragons known to Egypt.

"Attack! Bombard the traitor with your blazing inferno!" Kamir commanded.

The Kaiser Dragon complied as it opened its jaws wide and a purple red ball of energy formed within its jaws and then launched it at La Jinn.

The genie let out another chucklin sound before it was blasted to dust, its tablet falling back down. Once again Seto shielded his eyes as more lightining from the darkened sky took three to four of his magicians to the Shadow Realm, leaving only him and six of his magicians on his side of the field.

Once the lightning passed, Seto turned and glared at Yami, his eyes full of pure venom as he let out a noise of anger. Yami turned his head towards him his features unknown due to the shadows that covered them.

"You have not won yet Pharaoh! It is far from over! Do you think one of your pathetic minions has the magic to defeat me? I will shatter them from existance right before your very eyes!" the High Priest spat.

Asha shivered from the new tone in his voice. If she was up where Yami was now, she'd be shivering and quaking madly. But she knew Yami could not be frightened easily. But she was now worried of what would happen next.

"You should have finished me off when you had the chance for I will now call forth the ultimate beast of destruction! Now Pharaoh, this is the end!" Seto declared. At this YAmi tilted his head forward in curiousity as he watched Seto.

The High Priest raised his arms and the Millennium Rod up high as he turned his atention to the remaining stone tablets.

"My faithful monsters you have all served me well. Wake from your eternal slumber and obey me one last time!"

At this, wind whipped around two of the stone tablets and they rose forth. Out came two monsters. One was half man, half horse that held a large sycthe in its hand. It was known as the Mystic Horseman. The other was some sort of human like bull with armour all over his body and a sharp axe in his hand. This monster was known as Battle Ox. Both creatures snarled and roared as they emerged.

"Behold! I will offer them and fuse their light forces into the Legendary Dragon!" Seto declared.

At this both monsters glowed brightly as two balls of light formed around them and grew larger by the minute. And when both energies of light exploded against one another, out came the most deadliest of all dragons... one that even Asha had knew well...

The dragon let out a tremendous roar as it towered over everyone,including the Kaiser Dragon. Only when did Seto state its name everyone seemed to know they were doomed.

"Now! The Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

At its name Yami stood up from his throne in shock and stared at the monster. The Pharaoh couldn't believe he'd summon that one monster to destroy them all... the Blue Eyes White Dragon was a monster of Light that would never attack the good... but right now it looked like one of Dark... that would attack anyone...

For even Asha could see that before when she first met the Blue Eyes White Dragon in the Shadow Realm, its eyes were of bright sapphire, like Seto's use to be... but now that Seto's were that of murky black and navy blue, so was the dragon's... like it was under the same spell Seto was...

"Dragon! Destory them all with your White Lightining!" Seto ordered.

At this the dragon let out a massive roar and opened its jaws wide as white and blue electicity form a huge ball of energy which it shot at Kamir's Kaiser Dragon.

The dragon was desotryed in an instant! It let out a cry of pain as it wa snothing left but ash. The Blue Eyes White Dragon then shot its blast again, destorying all of the stone tablets and all of Yami's magicians, including Kamir, who all cried out in pain and agony.

Even from where she stood, Asha could see the satisfied smirk Seto was wearing now.. one full of cold and darkness. And his laugh was even colder and darker as he watched the flames that engulfed the other side.

Bakura, Malik, Asha, Jono and the others had to move away fromt hat side of the field to not get burned to crisp.

Seto then held his Rod up high, still laughing maliciously.

"Victory is mine!" he declared.

It seemed this was the peak of Yami's patience. He climbed down away from his throne and went to the enflamed part of the battlegrounds. The minute he stepped onto the battlefield he waved his hand and the flames dispersed.

"Seto!" Yami roared across the field. "I shall be your opponent! And you will lose!"

Lose? Asha thought weakly. Does that mean Yami will... banish Seto to the Shadow Realm?

Asha didn't even want to think of what Yami had in mind... she knew Yami wanted to free Seto from the spell Devlin had over him but options were running out fast. A battle was the only thing left open...

"Oh really Pharaoh? Well... we shall see..." Seto sneered, his dark eyes glinting dangerously.

But Yami remained unfazed as he opened his arms wide and closed his eyes as he concentrated. His Sennen Puzzle started to glow as he muttered silent words under his breath.

And then the area before him started to glow. A bright white light... and the light started to take a form... a humanoid form...

When the light finally died down a figure was now standing before Yami... a very intimidating figure...

It wore long robes of purple and had a purple helmet. Its hair was light purple too and its eyes were a soft yet piercing green. In its right hand it held a long green scepter and a bright green jewel within it. This monster was the mighty Dark Magician, one of the most strongest monsters in the Shadow Realm. And it only obeyed people of high power... which was the Pharaoh mostly.

Seto smirked as he looked the dark sorceror up and down before locking his dark eyes with Yami's bright ones.

"Well well... two monsters of immense power will now face off... to the death... ready to lose Pharaoh?" Seto once again sneered. Yami chuckled slightly those his gaze held death in them.

"It will not be I who will lose Seto..." was all he said. Seto seemed to have got the message for he stood taller as his features now held determination.

"Now my Blue Eyes White Dragon! Destroy the Dark Magician and the Pharaoh with your White Lightning!" And just as Seto let out this command, Yami let out his.

"My faithful Dark Magician, counter his assault with your Dark Magic Attack!"

Both dragon and magician let out their roars as replies as they charged up. A enormous blue white energy ball was forming within Seto's dragon's mouth where as Yami's magician's scepter was forming a black and purple energy ball within it.

Bakura, Malik, Asha and everyone else on the sidelines were waiting with baited breath. But it seemed Teana had seen enough for she started to dart forward. Malik made a wild dive to catch her but she was already beyond reach.

"TEANA! What in the name of Ra are you doing?! Get back here!!!" Bakura called after her as Mysticy helped Malik up. Still running, Teana looked back at them to respond.

"I can't live on without Yami if he dies! So if he dies, I'll die with him!" she called as she dashed up to Yami. And just as she did Yami and Seto already let their monsters attack with their large energy blasts.

"Teana! You'll get killed! Get away from here!" Yami ordered, eeys wide in fear as he tried to push her away from him but Teana held on.

"Not without you my love" she whispered into his ear.

Asha meanwhile was fretting on what to do. She just couldn't let Seto die! Not now... not ever. And finally she too darted forward, just right before Bakura had a chance to snatch her.

"Are you women mad?! Get away from there!!!" Jono yelled but Asha nor Teana would return.

The Dark Magician's blast was nearing Seto as did the Blue Eyes White Dragon's near Yami. As Seto was watching the blast approach him, he turned his head slightly to see the slave rush up to him. Shock filled his features.

"What are you doing slave?! Get away from me!" he spat.

"Never on your life!" Asha retorted as she slammed her shoulder into Seto, sending him sprawling out of the way of the blast just as it hit her, sending her into a stone column. But something strange happened.

The minute Seto was slammed away his eyes seemed to clear up into their normal sapphire colour. As did his dragon's. And when his dragon realised who he was aiming the attack to he slammed his tail against it, sending the blast up into the darkening sky.

Also when Yami realised what Asha was doing, he nodded to his Dark Magician, who swirled his scepter slightly. The dark energy blast had turned light green in colour. It would still knock her back, but not kill her.

Everyone else, with the exception of Seto, who was still down on the ground and Yami, who knew Asha would be alright, gasped greatly as the slave was slammed into the column. She groaned somewhat, shaking her head from side to side.

Seto, meanwhile, was slowly pushing himself to his feet, shaking his head slightly to make himself less dizzy. He rubbed the sand from his eyes and opened them, his clear sapphire eyes shining through. He looked around for a moment then turned and gasped as he saw Asha slightly hurt and against the column. He could sense what has happened and quickly moved to her.

"Asha? Are you alright?" he asked as he neared her. At his voice Asha's eyes shot wide opened and stared at Seto with fear as she back up further against the column, hoping she'd meld with it. She was afraid what woul happen.

"Ssssh... Asha... its alright... its me" Seto said as he took the trembling girl into his arms and hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry my light! I never meant to hurt you... just I was possessed... I would never ever harm you or ever stop caring for you... I love you Asha".

At this Asha raised her head and looked into Seto's eyes. She looked at the familiar sapphire colour and smiled. The true Seto was back.

"Oh Seto!" she cried as she hugged the High Priest tightly, who hugged her in return jsut as tight, stroking her hair and kissing her forehead. He was now at peace.

Yami and Teana made their way over to the hugging couple, the Dark Magician following close behind. Teana was looking from Asha and Seto to Yami.

"You knew he was going to be turned back to normal once he touched her, didn't you?"Yami chuckled.

"Somewhat my love. I knew whatever spell he was under was strong but Asha's love for him was stronger. She just needed the courage to go forth..."

"So this whole battle could have been prevented?" Teana asked. Yami shook his head.

"No. It would have happened no matter what. It was just thanks to Asha that myself and Seto didn't get killed".

"Boy... this is confusing..." Teana said. Yami chuckled again and kissed her before they stopped in front of Seto and Asha. Bakura, Malik and the others were here too. Seto turned to them all, his eyes finally landing on Yami before bowing his head.

"I am sorry my Pharaoh for the pain I had caused..." The Blue Eyes White Dragon, who was still there came closer to the group.

I am sorry too Pharaoh Yami... we meant no true harm... he apologised. Yami smiled.

"Oh come now! Pharaoh makes me sound old! I know it was not your faults my friends..." Yami said as he petted the dragon's snout before placing a comforting hand on Seto's shoulder. Seto looked up at him and smiled. He then turned to Jono.

"Jono... I'm sorry for the way I treated you earlier in the dungeons..." he said. Jono flashed him a goofy grin.

"Ah, its ok. Besides mere chains and beatings can't hurt ol' Jono" he said good naturedly.

"But women can" Tris added which got him a slap in the head by Jono. Everyone laughed at this. When it settled down Yami's expression became serious.

"Seto... tell us what happened when Devlin took you". Seto nodded.

"Well when I awoke I was chained naked to these stone columns in some type of vast chamber. It was real dark when I could hear some sliding sound and in entered Devlin. I found out somethings... like he being the one who raped Asha the first time in the dungeons..."

At this everyone gasped and Asha bowed her head in shame.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Yami asked.

"He said he would murder Seto if I did... I was scared..." the slave replied meekly. Seto hugged her reassuringly.

"Ssh... I won't let him hurt you ever again..." he promised. He then turned back to Yami and continued.

"He then started... touching me... probably to freak me out... which he did I must say". Bakura shivered.

"Augh... Devlin, I thought he was straight... but even freaking guys out... its nasty..."

"Yeah... he then said he was going to become Pharaoh and when he would, he'd turn us all into sex slaves for his friends..." At this Bakura even shivered more. Yami raised an eyebrow.

"When he becomes Pharaoh? But he can't. He doesn't have the wits or power".

"Yes... but that's when he told me we were inside the Temple of the Gods..." At this Yami's eyes widened, as did the others.

"But how??? Only the Pharaoh can enter unless he has read-"

"Yes, the Book of Ka. Yes, he has read it" Seto finished for Yami. Yami groaned.

"Lovely..."

"And there's more... he has unleashed the Egyptian God Monsters and they serve him unquestionably..." At this Yami and the other paled.

"Oh dear..."Malik said.

"Oh dear is right... but how did he sumon them? Let alone control them?" Bakura wondered.

"I don't know how he did it... but they serve him now" Seto said grimly.

"Well unless we can change that" Yami said angrily.

"Oh but on the contrary Pharaoh... you cannot..."came Delin's voice as he emerged from under an archway... and above the Duelling Grounds... there flew the might Egyptian God Monsters...

"Devlin!!! What have you done?!" Yami demanded.

"Oh I know what I have done! I have called upon the ultimate creatures to take you down so I will become Pharaoh!" Devlin roared. and just as he did the three Egyptian God Monsters flew closer.

"Is this the fake Pharaoh you mentioned of?" they bellowed altogether.

"Indeed he is..." Devlin sneered. "Destroy their monsters and take their powers..."

At his command the three gods powered up, blasting the Blue Eyes White Dragon and the Dark Magician into nothing. They then blasted at Yami, Seto, Bakura and Malik. However they didn't kill them... but whatever they were doing it was making the four friends fairly weak.

"Their power has been taken" Slypher, Obelisk and the Sun Dragon said once they were done.

"Excellent... now guards... take them to the dungeon!" Devlin ordered and snapped his finger and out of no where a dozen to twenty guards in black armour with the symbol of the scorpion on them appeared and grabbed everyone.

"And you two" Devlin ordered, nodding to two big ones. "Take the girl to my chambers" he ordered, pointing to Asha.

"No! I will not come with you!" Asha said as she stood her ground. Devlin sneered at her.

"Very well" he said and snapped his fingers. At this one of the guards who had taken hold of Nileoi, pulled his sword on the young boy, pressing the blade deep against his throat. The others followed suit to their prisoners. Asha's eyes widened as she looked at all of them, but mostly Nileoi, who had started to cry. She then turned to Devlin.

"Alright... I'll come with you... I'll even be yours! Just please don't kill them or harm them..." she begged the Emperor. Devlin grinned evilly.

"Excellent... what I wanted to hear... oh will I have fun with you. Guards, take the others to the dungeon now... tomorrow morning I shall announce to the people of Amenhenka of their new Pharaoh!" Devlin declared as two of his guards seized Asha's arms and dragged her after the retreating Emperor where as the others were being taken to the dungeon.

Asha locked eyes with Seto's one last time. The High Priest was looking at her anxiously, fear in his eyes.

Don't worry my love... I'll come and save you from this monster... and when I do, nothing will separate us! he thought desperately as he was dragged away.

And above the Egyptian God Monsters were flying over and around the palace, letting out roars that echoed throughout all of Egypt. Armageddon has now begun.
