Hey guys! REALLY sorry for the long wait yall had to endure. Been having some troubles at home... anywayz I got the next chap up! Mind you this will be the third last chap, so after I get two more chaps done then this fic is finito and its on to the sequel! Now there's slight yaoi in the beginning but not too much. Well hope ya like it!


The sound of the doors that led inside the vast dungeon was clanged open, startling the occupants that were locked up within the chamber.

Footsteps could be heard as three figures came further into the dungeon, stopping in front of the jail cell where Yami and the others were locked up in.

Light from the flickering torches shone over the faces of Arcanius, Keithero and Pandraus as they all grinned evilly at the locked up people.

"Well well... aren't we all in a bit of a pickle, hm?" Keithero chuckled evilly. Yami narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Teana as the other men stood in front of the women and Nileoi.

"You three... I should have known that Devlin would summon you three..." the Pharaoh hissed.

"Now now Pharaoh, or shall I say ex-Pharaoh? That is no way to talk to us, especially since we plan to punish a few of you" Arcanius chuckled. Malik raised an eyebrow.

"Punish us you say? And how will you do that may I ask?" Pandarus laughed out heartily.

"Are you all so dense? If you think you know us so well you should know how we punish some of our victims... and I'm not talking about murder... though we will come to that soon..."

The occupants of the jail cell and the others nearby froze as it suddenly dawned upon them.

"You plan to... rape us?" Bakura let out in disbelief. The three dark friends of Devlin laughed slightly.

"Wow... you actually got it, I'm impressed..." Keithero let out. Yami, Seto, Bakura, Malik and the other men growled as they stood in front of the women and Nileoi more protectively. Arcanius smirked at this.

"Oh don't worry... we don't want them yet... well... except for the boy... but that's Pandarus' toy first" he snickered. Nileoi's eyes widened and he let out a whimper as Seto pressed him further behind him.

"You will not harm him or any of us!" the High Priest hissed angrily. At this Pandarus sneered at him.

"Oh don't worry boy... you're first".

And before anyone inside the jail cell could do anything, the door flung open as Pandarus strode inside, roughly grabbed Seto and hauled him out, slamming him against the stone wall with a crunching sound as Seto slid to the ground.

"Seto!" Yami and the others let out in fear for their friend's life.

"Oh I wouldn't worry about him only..."Arcanius said as he snatched the Pharaoh out and held him in a painful death grip.

"Yes... lets all not get too comfortable, hmm?" Keithero snickered as he snatched Jono out of the cell and crushed him against his chest, holding him so tightly that the young hazel eyed blonde could barely breathe.

"But perhaps Keithero, lets watch Pandarus screw the High Priest hm? He caused so much trouble for our dear Devlin that it would be amusing to see" Arcanius said, smirking as he squeezed Yami's arms tighter.

"Excellent idea Arcanius. Pandarus, you don't mind an audience, do you?" Keithero asked.

"Not at all my friends... not at all... and you can watch too to see how I punish my slaves" Pandarus added to the others who were inside the cell, all of them looking from Pandarus to Seto in sheer horror.

Before Seto could get up, Pandarus reached down and started tearing off Seto's silk pants so viciously he looked almost like an overgrown lion tearing into his prey.

He then snatched Seto up by the neck and threw him against the wall again, the High Priest letting out a yell of pain. And the High Priest would have fought back if he only had the strength.

Chuckling Pandarus hauled him up by the neck again and slammed him facefirst against the wall, crushing him against it.

"My my... don't you smell exotic?" Pandarus hissed into the High Priest's ear, causing him to slightly shiver. His hands wound around to Seto's front and grabbed his length with such crushing force that Seto screamed out in agony, causing his friends to shudder slightly.

"Such a tight ass... mmm... reminds me of that slave girl Devlin is crazy about... now for a girl that was a good ass fuck..." Pandarus whispered into Seto's ear.

At this Seto's eyes shot wide open as anger boiled inside him. He knew who Pandarus was talking about and he didn't like it one bit.

"You fucking bastard! How dare you!" he yelled and before Pandarus could do anything, Seto, with such a power he didn't have a few seconds before, blasted Pandarus back with a blinding blue light, slamming the hulking man against the stone wall.

"Well well Pandarus... seems you have some troubles" Arcanius laughed out.

"Nothing... I can't handle..." the man wheezed before he slammed Seto into the wall with massive fist.

"Besides... I like 'em fiesty..." he added as he then slammed Seto face down to the ground, bearing down on him as he pulled down his own pants, about to insert himself into the High Priest when suddenly...

A great wave of bright sun coloured light burst into the room as Pandarus was blasted off Seto, heading head first into a wall. And it wasn't only him that got the full blast. Keithero and Arcanius were blasted off Yami and Jono as well, landing in a crumpled heap beside Pandarus.

"I NOW BANISH YOU THREE TO THE DEPTHS OF THE SHADOW REALM!!!" came three voices that roared out, more blinding light filling the darkened room.

Just then a swirling purple vortex opened behind Arcanius, Keithero and Pandarus, starting to suck them in as they struggled to get out but alas they couldn't.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" they all yelled out before they were sucked into the vortex of the Shadow Realm, which closed up after them with a slurping sound.

"Are you alright my Pharaoh?" came Simon Muran's voice as the others all turned to see him, holding his long white and gold staff before him, with Sadin holding the Millennium Scales and the Millennium Key before him along with Rishid who was just removing the Millennium Eye from his own eye socket where his original eye reappeared.

"Simon Muran! Sadin! Rishid!" Yami exclaimed as he hugged his friends.

"Ahem... Yami! I know you're happy to see me but becareful, I'm still an old man" Simon Muran coughed as Yami let go of him.

"Sorry my friend but I am so glad to see you three!"

"As are we my Pharaoh" Sadin replied, giving a slight bow.

"How did you all get in here without Devlin's guards stopping you?" Malik asked.

"You mean those pathetic bumbling fools who wouldn't know danger if it hit them in the eye? They were nothing master" Rishid said in a humble voice, causing the others to beam.

"Good to hear" Bakura said with a smirk.

"Say Seto, you ok there? And would you like some pants?" Simon Muran chuckled amusedly as the young High Priest pushed himself to his feet staggerdly.

"Yeah... I wouldn't mind..." was the reply. Smiling again Simon Muran waved his staff, causing a pair of pants to appear before Seto, who quickly slipped them on.

"Come... eat this... this will return all of your powers" Sadin said as he handed everyone a piece of red fruit. Yami and the others ate it and as they did a slight pinkish aura surrounded them briefly before dispersing, leaving them way stronger then before.

"Thank you my friend" Yami said, smiling before his expresion turned serious. "Look we have to stop Devlin and free Asha and also stop three Egyptian God monsters... could you stay here and free and the others as well as protect them?"

"Of course my Pharaoh" Sadin and Rishid both said but Simon Muran shook his head.

"Oh no, I'm coming with you this time... I don't want you messing anything up" the old man chuckled. Yami sighed but nodded.

"I know better then to argue with you..." he said before turning to Teana.

"My love... please stay here alright? I don't want you to get hurt" he said. Teana nodded and gave him a hug and a kiss on the forehead.

"Yes my king" she whispered into his ear.

Bakura went over to Serena and gave her a tight hug and a kiss on the lips, muttering a few words into her ear, who nodded earnestly. Malik did the same thing to Mysticy, who also nodded in understanding after returning a kiss.

"You better get going my Pharaoh before its too late" Goleo urged. Yami nodded.

"Come, we better go" he said as he made his way to the exit, with Seto, Bakura, Malik, Simon Muran and Jono, who none of the others rulers and two High Priests seemed to object by. Sadin, Rishid and Goleo were starting to free the others in the meantime. Too bad none of them saw that one of the guards they had beaten down earlier had seen the whole scene and was rushing to Devlin's chambers, following some faint screaming as a guide.

%%%%

Asha let out one last bloodcurdling scream before she layed limp against the blood soaken bed sheets as Devlin licked some blood off her chest, while also panting heavily.

"Now that was good" he purred as he let out a content happy sigh. Smirking, he used the really bloody dagger in his hand to make a few more cuts on the girl, wanting for her whole body to be covered in her red sweet blood. Asha, having lost so much blood all ready and being too weak to do anything, just laid there helplessly.

The emerald scorpion choker around her neck kept flashing black on and off slightly and she was taking in deep gasps of air to get enough oxygen in her lungs. You see just before the dark Emperor was planning to rape her again, he decided that it would be fun to do so while making her lungs so weak and feeble that they could only take only small amounts of air in and out, and indeed, it was a very interesting, mind blowing sex when he did that.

"Now... how about we try this again... but maybe make your heart beat only once per every 30 seconds hm?" he asked Asha evilly. The girl stared at him with wide eyes, letting out a choked whimper. At this Devlin's smile grew even more sinister. "What? You think a minute would be better? Alright".

If Asha could talk she would have said anything to stop him, but her throat was so raw and she couldn't seem to get her mouth to work properly to respond him. Devlin just chuckled, getting ready to activate the spell when the door to his chamber burst open, with one of his guard at the entrance bowing quickly.

"My lord!" he let out in quick gasps. Devlin regarded him in an angered manner.

"Did you not hear me before??? I do not want to be interrupted till the morning unless its something important!" he snapped.

"But my lord, it IS important! Arcanius, Keithero and Pandarus have been banished to the Shadow Realm!" the guard let out quickly. At this Devlin froze slightly, his eyes wide in bewilderment.

"Banished to the Shadow Realm? But how? Yami, Seto and the others didn't have enough power to stop them"the Emperor pondered aloud to himself.

"It was not them my lord, but Yami's other loyal followers! Simon Muran, Sadin and Rishid were the ones who banished them!"

At hearing the three names Devlin almost choked, getting out of Asha quickly and marching over to the guard, not caring that he was still naked and blood was dripping off of him.

"How did they get in the palace??? Weren't you and the others suppose to guard every entrance?!" he demanded. The guard trembled slightly but nodded quickly.

"Yes my lord, we tried! But they were too powerful and defeated practically all of us!!!"

Devlin cursed inwardly and paced the room, muttering to himself. The guard still stood at the doorway and dared not to move a muscle. As for Asha, even if she had the strength she didn't dare to move either.

Just then Devlin stopped pacing and turned to face Asha, still lying on the blood soaken bed. He then grinned maliciously before turning to the guard.

"Gather the rest of the men who are still able and proceed outside in front of the Temple of Ra". The guard nodded.

"Yes my lord... but may I ask why?" Devlin nodded, sneering at Asha before responding.

"Of course... it is time to initiate the final spell to make this world fall under my command! And to do that... all I need is to give one small sacrifice..." he said, sneering again at Asha, who was staring back in sheer terror. The guard was confused.

"But my lord, I thought you wanted the girl for yourself?" Devlin nodded, his smirk growing wider in the process.

"Indeed I do... but ressurection spells are fairly easy to perform, so I won't be losing her permanently... just temporarily... get one of your men to take her to the altar in front of the temple... I shall call upon the Egyptian God Monsters" he ordered. The guard bowed and quickly left the room.

Grinning maliciously, Devlin turned and strode back to Asha, smiling down at her wickedly.

"Well my dear... seems you'll be more useful to me then you already were" he said as Asha could only stare back into his evil green eyes, whimpering slightly at what was about to come.

%%%%

Yami, Seto, Jono, Bakura, Malik and Simon Muran had searched the palace again and again, but to no avail did they find Asha, Devlin or any of his remaining guards.

Seto cursed angrily, slamming his fist at and through the stone wall which he was standing next to, his cold blue eyes blazing angrily.

"Where the hell is that bastard?!" he snapped at his companions, not caring if he got them upset or not.

"It seems they have left the palace" Simon Muran observed calmly. Seto glared at him.

"Oh really? And where could they have gone then?!" he demanded. Simon Muran smiled slightly.

"Obviously to a place of sanctuary..." was the reply. Seto's eyes were becoming colder by the minute. He wanted to strangle the old man. But Yami, being the one who caught on, turned to Simon Muran.

"Do you think its possible they went to the Temple of Ra?" Simon Muran nodded.

"I certainly believe so Yami".

"Well then what are we standing around here for?! Lets get going!" Seto snapped before dashing off, the others following behind closely.

After roughly ten minutes, they neared the massive Temple of Ra. And as they got closer, they could see three enormous figures looming around the temple... the Egyptian God Monsters...

"DEVLIN!!!" Seto yelled out in anger as he and his companions hurried inside.

There, by an altar stood Devlin. A huge smirk was on his face as the others neared. He stood in front of an altar, dagger in hand and a scorpion amulet in other. His guards stood in front of him protectively, shielding most of him and the altar from view. Above them, through the roofless ceiling oft he temple, the Egyptian God Monsters observed them all.

"What the hell have you done with Asha?!" Seto snarled, feeling all ready to lunge at Devlin. But Bakura and Malik were holding onto his arms, keeping him from doing so.

"Oh you mean my luscious little sex toy? Why right here..." Devlin replied slyly as he and his guards moved away from the altar slightly to show them the figure upon it. As light shone over the body, Seto gasped.

There was Asha... bloody as hell and naked... she was chained down to the altar and it seemed that she was having a hard time breathing. The scorpion choker around her neck was still glowing, seeming to drain more energy from her already weak form.

"What have you done to her?!" Seto hissed angrily.

"What do you think most masters do their slaves? Screw, tear, bleed and use" was Devlin's reply as he twirled the dagger idly in his hands. Yami's eyes narrowed.

"What are you planning to do Devlin?" Devlin's smirk grew wider as his hard emerald eyes locked onto the Pharaoh's crimson ones.

"A change of plans Pharaoh... since you and your loyal followers have threatened my position I decided it take it up a notch. All I need is to sacrifice this lowly pathetic girl and I can get all the power I want and to rule the world".

Seto's eyes grew wider with anger, as did the others.

"What?! You will not kill her!" was the High Priest's snarling reply as he tried to get free from Bakura and Malik, though their hold was firm still.

"Oh don't worry Seto... once I have gotten my power I can easily revive her and use her again to my likings... I would never let this luscious creature go to waste" Devlin said evilly as he moved closer to Asha, running a finger down her bloody cheek before raising it to his lips and licking at the blood, giving a satisfied dark smile.

Asha turned her head slightly to lock her gaze with Seto's. It hurt Seto to see his Light's eyes, that were full of so much life and happiness, were now only a lifeless, sad haunting colour. But Asha still smiled weakly. If she was going to die... at least the last thing she would see would be her lover's face...

Devlin smirked again before pulling out an ancient scroll and unrolled it, holding it to the candlelight so he could see the ancient scriptures.

"What's that?" Jono asked, his eyes narrowing. Devlin turned his head to the blond's, smiling darkly.

"What, this?" he asked, gently waving the scroll. "This is what I have to read from so the Egyptian God Monsters can grant me my unlimited power and rulership". He then turned back to the scroll and began to chant the words.

"Amun-Ra, Amun-RĂ©, doyanish kelapke crutious mulask narg wuvne druk talakinos ooye..." Devlin began to say. As he was saying the words, the Egyptian God Monters eyes began to glow a bright, luminous green as an aura surrounded them.

Meanwhile the others, even if they wanted to, couldn't try to stop Devlin. His guards were making sure no one would get near... and even if they managed too, they'd be fried to a crisp by one of the great monsters above them.

Just then Simon Muran turned to Yami and leaned over to whisper into his ear so only the young Pharaoh could hear.

"Yami... there's only one way to stop Devlin... and you know how... its time for you to prove your true royal blood..."

At first Yami just stood there, as if in a trance. But he then nodded, determination in his eyes.

He held his arms out before him, the Millennium Puzle starting to glow as he started to chant words of his own.

"Dark demon creature of the Shadow Realm... come to the surface... come when your Pharaoh is in need... come to save this world and help us... arise great demon and let us see your true power!"

Devlin had stopped is chanting and turned to face Yami, surprise etched along his features. Seto, Bakura, Malik and Jono were also facing Yami, puzzled as to what he was doing.

Just then a huge, transparent silver five-pointed star appeared behind Yami as dark purple shadows formed around it. Everyone was deathly still and quiet, except for Yami's quiet mutters of the spell and Devlin's worried cries.

"No! Stop! You don't know what you're doing! STOP!"

But Yami didn't heed him as a bronze arm shot out through one of the star's points. Then another arm shot out through the other. Then a bronze leg appeared from one of the lower star points, and then other. Finally a head appeared through the top star point... the head of Exodia... the Forbidden One...

Now everyone knew what Yami was doing. Only the true Pharaoh could summon Exodia... and once he did the great behemoth would tell the Egyptian God Monsters the truth and then... Devlin's life and fate would be sealed...

Finally all of Exodia appeared, the silver transparent star fading away into dust. Exodia turned to Yami, getting down on one knee and doing a quick bow of his head as respect. Yami returned the slight bow and gave Exodia a piercing gaze. At first nothing happened, but then Exodia nodded and got up, the ground trembling beneath him, as he turned to the Egyptian God Monsters, who were staring at him transfixed.

"Brothers..." Exodia hissed out, his voice echoing along the Temple walls and outside of them. "It has seemed that you have been deceived by a traitor to the Pharaoh..."

"Exodia... Ruler of the Netherworld... tell us... who is the real Pharaoh you serve?" Slypher asked, his two mouths baring their fangs slightly.

Exodia raised his great right arm and pointed it behind him, directly at Yami.

"This is the great Pharaoh I serve" was the reply.

"Then he..." Obelisk started, glancing at Devlin with a piercing stare, who had gone deathly pale now.

"Is a traitor who tricked you all my brothers" came Exodia's reply.

And then there was a silence, a deathly, ever so quiet silence that seemed to send chills through Devlin's and his men's bodies.

The Sun Dragon clicked his beak angrily, the sound echoing quiete loudly as he gazed a death stare with his blood red eyes at Devlin.

"You fool... do you know the punishment for tricking the Egyptian God Monsters?" the great gold dragon bellowed.

"N-Now wait a m-minute!" Devlin stammered slightly, backing up in fear. "I have not tricked you! Its him!" he added, pointing furiously at Yami. But the Egyptian God Monsters didn't listen. Devlin might as well have been talking to a wall with bombs behind it, ready to go off any minute.

"Devlin Hurkaski... your fate is now sealed... the pain you wished to unleash on this world shall now be turned back to you..." the Sun Dragon continued.

"No! WAIT! Please! Don't do this! I summoned you three!" Devlin pleaded.

"You summoned us for nothing!" Slypher roared at him, the sky above them becoming dark and treacherous.

"You nearly made us kill the true Pharaoh and ruin what is left of the land to your liking! And for that, you will DIE!!!" Obelisk snarled out, his voice shaking the walls.

"DEATH FLAME CRUSHER!!!" all three Egytpian God Monsters let out as their great balls of energy shot into the temple, envelopping Devlin and his guards.

Exodia had stood in front of Yami, Simon Muran, Seto, Bakura, Malik and Jono, shielding them fromt he colossal energy. But... unfortunately... there was nothing protecting Asha...

"ASHA! NO!!!" Seto screamed out, trying to get at her but Bakura and Malik were once again holding him back as best as they could. Besides, the energy flames from the Egyptian God Monsters attack made it impossible to see Asha. But they could still see Devlin and his guards...

Devlin's guards immediately dissipated with screams of agony before they were nothing more then ash... Devlin, however, seemed to be fading away very slowly.

His clothes were already burned off as his flesh was slowly being torn off as well... piece by piece... and his screaming never stopped either. It was so high, so shrill and so unnatural it even caused Bakura, Malik and Jono to shiver a little.

When practically half of Devlin's body was gone, the dark Emperor turned his head to the others, his eyes full of hatred, evil and darkness.

"Mark my words I will be back Pharaoh! And when I return, you'll all be sorry!" he yelled out before letting out another shriek of agaony, the skin finally off his bones before his skeleton turned into dust.

Finally the flames dissipated and when they did, everyone was shocked to see that Asha, who was sitting up, her bonds free due to the flames, was still very much alive.

"How on Ra could that be? How could she have survived that?" Jono asked in awe.

"Because she is an innocent... my brothers do not kill the innocent" came Exodia's reply.

Seto, who's arms were now released, did not care. He was glad that Asha was alive. He quickly rushed over to the still wounded girl, clasping her tightly to him, holding her as close as he could.

"By Ra Asha... I thought I lost you forever..." Seto urmured into her hair before looking into the slave's eyes, seeing the life and happiness shine through them again. He kissed away a few tears that fell before kissing her, but gently.

Asha mewed into his mouth, though was still shaking slightly from the pain. Seto then released her, snapping off the scorpion choker and tossing it to the ground, on which is shattered.

He then held his Rod up in front of Asha's body, the sennen eye glowing as Asha's body envelopped in a gold aura, wrapping her up tighter as her wounds disappeared miraculously, as did the blood and bruises. The gold aura then faded as Seto placed the Blue Eyes White Dragon choker back on her neck.

Asha welcomed it, touching the diamond dragon briefly before being wrapped up in Seto's arms again, never ever wanting to leave.

"My lord... I must return to the depths of the Shadow Realm... my purpose has been fulfilled for now..." Exodia said, turning to Yami. The Pharaoh nodded.

"Thank you great one... I shall see you again soon..." he said. At this Exodia gave the brief hint of a smile before he let out a roar, sinking into the floor before disappearing all together.

Bakura and Malik were stretching their arms, acting as if they had done a great thing. Seto noticed this, giving them a playful scowl before kissing Asha on the forehead, pulling the slave even closer into his arms.

Jono looked at Asha in a sad sort of expression, but Seto and Asha both noticed this as Seto released the girl, allowing her friend to come up and embrace his lover tightly.

"I'm so glad you're alright" Jono whispered into Asha's ear.

"Me too" Asha replied, squeezing her friend back tightly before he released her, she being once again wrapped up in the High Priest's arms.

Simon Muran let out a chuckle as he neared the altar, smiling at the two lovers before turning his eyes to the Egyptian God Monsters, who were staring down at them all rather intently.

"Yami... it seems we do still have a slight problem" Simon Muran said, but in an amused tone as he nodded upwards towards the Egyptian God Monsters. Yami came up to him before he looked up at the great behemoths.

"Seems to be... my lords! I thank you for helping us!" he said, with a slight bow of his head.

"We are always glad to help the Pharaoh..." came their replies as they bowed their heads in return. "However... the reason for our remaining is that our lords wish to see you..."

Everyone froze at hearing that. The gods and goddesses wanted to see Yami??? Yami stood still for a moment but then smiled and nodded.

"Of course... I will be honoured to speak with them..." he said as he made his way to the Sun Dragon's outstretched claw, about to get on it when Slypher's voice stopped him.

"It is not only you he wishes to see Pharaoh..." Yami turned and blinked, glancing at the others, who shrugged, before looking up at the three Phantom Beasts.

"Who else do they wish to see?"

"The young girl" was Obelisk's response.

Everyone snapped their heads towards Asha, who looked like she was about to faint. She looked at Yami then Seto wide eyed.

"Did she do something wrong? Is that why they wish to see her?" Yami asked, confused. The Sun Dragon chuckled.

"No Pharaoh... the young girl did nothing wrong... they just wish to see the girl for their own reasons". Yami then nodded.

"Well there is no harm in that then".

"Well I'll be coming too" Seto replied. At this Slypher spoke.

"No High Priest... our lords only wish to see the Pharaoh and the young girl... I assure you she will be unharmed".

At this Seto looked from Asha, to Yamithen back again. It was quite obvious that he did not like this arrangement.

"Don't worry Seto... I'll look over Asha" Yami reassured his friend. At this Seto sighed but nodded.

"Alright... I'll be holding you to that Yami" came the reply as he kissed Asha before gently prodding her to go over to Yami. At this Simon Muran chuckled.

"Don't you think it'd be wise to cover her up if she is going to go up in front of the gods?" Bakura, Malik and Jono burst out laughing as Asha blushed bright red. Seto smiled as he came forward, unpinned his cloak and wrapped it around Asha's slender frame tightly before tying it. It looked like she was wearing a blue strapless dress.

"Stay alive young one..." Seto whispered into her ear.

"I will love" came Asha's reply as she gave him one last kiss before hurrying over to yami as they both stepped onto the Sun Dragon's claw, in which they were lifted upwards before all three Egytpian God Monsters flapped their wings, now airbone and gone straight up into the heavens.

"Stay alive Asha... stay alive..." Seto whispered again quietly.

%%%%

Higher and higher into the clouds they rose, all three Egyptian God Monsters flapping their wings swiftly.

Asha held onto Yami since she was naturally freaked out by this. Yami complied without question, holding the girl close.

After a few more minutes, they soon came to an entrance, two sphinxes standing in front. They looked like they were stone but their eyes seemed alive. Two pairs of yellow topaz like eyes glanced as the Egyptian God Monsters landed before them. After giving them, Yami and Asha a quick look,they nodded, permitting them to enter.

Asha, and even Yami, were in awe as they passed through various different rooms. Some contained magnificently huge oasis' full of pure clean water. Various jungle areas with massive trees and huge blooming colourful flowers lined most of the walls and ceilings.

Other chambers contained massive training rooms, areas to keep huge monsters, shrines to each of the gods and goddesses and other stuff as well. Some chambers seemed to lead downwards. Asha presumed one of them must lead to the underworld, where Anubis and Osiris probably go for their duties.

Soon they all arrived in a very huge circular room with quite a fair amount of gods and goddesses within it.

The Sun Dragon lowered his claw so Yami and Asha could get off. Asha stayed close to Yami as she observed everyone in the room.

Bast, also known as Bastet, the cat goddess, was standing in a relaxed position, her arms crossed as she too was looking around. Her white fur was glossy and shined with an eery silvery glow. She had an emerald dress on. Her eyes were as gold as the sun. She then turned her orbs on Asha and Yami, observing them with great interest. Upon locking eyes with Asha she smiled, in which Asha returned.

Asha's eyes then wandered onto Osiris, his wife Isis and their son Horus. Osiris, wrapped up in white gauze as he was depicted to be, was curently stroking his the head of Slypher, who was resting near them. Isis and her husband were speaking soft words to each other and Slypher, seeming to have their own conversation. Horus was just listening in with silence.

Anubis was also in the room, his black glossy fur on his whole body shining with an eery glow as well. His jackal head was constantly moving, observing everyone in the room. He then glanced at Asha, giving a short smile before turning his gaze Yami.

Then there was Seth and Nephthys. Seth was often dipicted that he had a sort of black, slener dog like head, but right now he looked fully human. Asha nearly gasped. He looked like Seto, though only much more muscular and his eyes were blood red, clearly showing he was not exactly the friendliest of gods. He was right now muttering a few words to Obelisk, who was paying rapt attention. His wife, who had long flowing raven black hair with silver streaks and was wearing a dark blue dress, was listening in.

Then there was Sobek, the crocodile water god, and Sekhmet, the warrior lioness goddess. They were chatting amicably with each other, which confused Asha. Were they married or something? Her eyes then landed to a third person that was near them. It was a girl with long flowing midnight black hair with red bangs, yellow snake like eyes and a long green and black serpent's tail. Now and then Sobek or Sekhmet would talk to her, in which the girl would respond good naturedly. Was that their daughter?

Asha, shrugging, looked around at the other occupants of the room. There was Bes, Thoth, Ptah, Nut, Geb, Hathor, Taweret and Ma'at were there as well. Asha knew there were more gods and goddesses then this, but she presumed they were all busy.

Finally her eyes landed on the last person of the room and she nearly fainted. It was Ra... King of Gods...

The King of Gods was sitting on a golden throne in the center of the room. His tanned skin seemed to light the room on its own, being so bright. His eyes were gold in colour and he had borwn/black hair. He wore a large white headdress and was dressed in gold and silver. He was currently stroking the beak of the Sun Dragon, muttering some kinds words to the beast before his eyes finally settled on Yami and Asha. At this, everyone in the chamber went silent.

Both Yami and Asha got down to their knees and bowed in respect to all of the gods and goddesses. Ra then gave a hand motion for them to rise, in which they did so, though Asha huddled behind Yami, scared stiff.

"Ah young Pharaoh Yami... I am glad you have come so we could all finally meet you" Ra said, his voice laced with purity and light and everything that sounded good. It almost made Asha faint at hearing his voice.

"I am glad to be here my lord" was Yami's reply. Ra nodded and continued.

"What you do for your people is wonderful Yami. You truly care for them and all of Egypt. I am glad she has you as its ruler. One who has justice but is fair and one who knows how to control with a firm yet steady hand".

"I am glad you think so my lord" Yami responded again.

"Yes... and the way you handled the situation with the dark Emperor Devlin was exceptionally well. However... I have some grave news for you Yami... Devlin is nott ruly gone".

At this Yami's and Asha's heads snapped up. Fear was in Asha's eyes as outrage was in Yami's.

"But its impossible! My lord, the Egyptian God Monsters destroyed him and his men!" Yami protested. Ra nodded gravely.

"True... his men are dead and their souls have been devoured by Ammut... but not Devlin... he has read a few spells from the Book of Ka... one that will ressurect him as a deadly beast... known as the Scorpion King... also he has unleashed the Ten Plagues of Egypt". At this Yami almost faltered.

"The Ten Plagues of Egypt??? When will it hit?"

"Alas we cannot tell you. Please understand Yami that we cannot reveal everything. But, however, it won't happen for a while... but when it does, you and your followers must be ready for it". Yami sighed and nodded gravely.

"Now... where is the young girl? Ah hiding is she... no need to Asha... its alright. Come forward... come up to me..." Ra said.

Oh did Asha surely feel like fainting now. Ra, THE Ra wanted to see her... and up close too... she was frozen stiff. Yami turned to her, smiling slightly as he whispered words of encouragement. Meanwhile Seth let out a laugh.

"Seems this mortal knows not how to answer requests from his highness" the dark god snickered.

"Oh come now Seth... what mortal wouldn't be scared and in awe?" Anubis said, his tone showing that he was annoyed with the other god.

"True... but if I had called a human up and they didn't come, well-"

"Yes yes... we know what you would do Seth... no need to say it and scare the girl further" Osiris interrupted.

"I didn't need to hear anything from you" Seth snarled at Osiris.

"Oh really? And like you ever do shut your mouth" Osiris shot back.

"Why you little-"

"Will you two both shut it?!" Bastet hissed angrily. "Honestly... you're not helping the girl's situation, so you might as well shut your traps".

"Couldn't have said it better myself" Sekhmet replied haughtily. Osiris and Seth, though still giving death glares, remained silence.

Asha swallowed once, twice then three times before she slowly made her way up to Ra, her head bowed in submission.

A hand reached out and tilted her face up, observing her intently as Asha blushed deep red. She almost felt like purring as she felt the King of Gods' hand gently hold her face, a warm feeling going through her. Though it was good she didn't purr, in case that might get a rise out of Bastet. She looked at Ra, who then smiled back before releasing her face.

"Seems our little creation here has done quite a job down on Earth" he replied. At this Asha looked at him, confused.

"Creation?"

"Yes. Every hundred years or so we all combine our powers and input a bit of each of us into a newborn child... but only one to a family who deserves it. Your mother and father did deserve you Asha, and that's why we gave them a gift. Their time was short but what they truly wanted was a child, and that's what we gave them".

Asha's heart was beating faster then normal. Its not everyday you learn that you are partially the daughter of all the gods and goddesses.

"And it is good to see she has cured the hearts of many as well" Ra continued, smiling at Asha again before turning his glance to Yami. "For you see, if we didn't give our powers into a newborn child, then Yami the one who would have betrayed would have not been Devlin, but Seto". At this Yami nearly had a coughing fit.

"Seto?! But why would he?"

"His growing inner demons would have finally seized control of him, turning him truly into a dark, uncaring soul. It'd be too late to save him and thus, in his darkness he'd turn on you and those who were his friends, causng chaos wilder then you can all imagine. Even greater then Devlin's".

Asha shuddered. Just imagining if Seto became that cruel and evil scared her greatly.

"But its thanks to Asha that he will never become that way, right?" Yami asked. Ra nodded.

"Yes, that is correct. Well... I think it'd be best if you to get back home... besides... I think der old Seto is getting a little impatient waiting for his lover" Ra added, causing Asha to blush bright red again.

"Well we ocne again thank you for letting us be here my lords and ladies" Yami said, bowing once again as did Asha.

"It is a pleasure that you came" Ra replied as the other gods and goddesses murmured or voiced their agreements, even including Seth. Ra then turned to the Sun Dragon.

"Take them back home" he said.

"By your will my lord" was the reply as the gold dragon scooped Yami and Asha into its claws before heading through the exits till he got past the gates before flying down back to Earth.

As they did this, Ra turned to the young girl who was near Sobek and Sekhmet.

"Viper... are you ready?" he asked. Viper turned and nodded, giving a slight bow.

"As ever my lord" was her reply.

"Then you know what to do" Ra said.

Giving another nod and bow, she turned to her parents and hugged them both, then said her goodbyes to the rest of the family before disappearing into thin air.

%%%%

"Asha!" Seto cried out with joy as he hugged the girl tightly the minute she got off from the Sun Dragon. Asha returned the hug wholeheartedly, content on being in his arms.

As Yami got off he was embraced in a fierce hug too, though this time it was Teana who was giving it.

"Oh thank Ra you are ok my love! I would have died if I lost you!" she let out, nearly on the verge of tears as she hugged him close. Yami returned the hug and gave her a kiss before turning to the Sun Dragon.

"Thank you" he said. The Divine Beast nodded.

"Your welcome my Pharaoh... you be well now..." was what the creature said before he flew back up towards the heavens.

Everyone was now hugging Asha and Yami in turn, saying excitedly that finally the madness was over and that Devlin's evil was gone for good. But to Yami and Asha, they knew it wasn't... but, however, they decided that now wasn't the best time to say.

And as everyone was talking animatedly and excitedly, a dark scorpion like shadow loomed not to far from them.

Enjoy your happiness and freedom while it lasts Pharaoh... but soon chaos will strike again and not you, your weak followers or even the Egyptian God Monsters will be able to stop me!
