Author's Note: I don't own anything but the plot and some OCs.

Author's Note2: Ryou can't speak Egyptian. Then again, nether can Yugi, Jonouchi, Honda, or Anzu, yet they understood what was being said in the Memory Arc. This is the same thing .

Chapter 20- Reviving

Time/ 2:20 PM, EST

Location/ Gates of Hell

"Ryou? Bakura? Shit! Andro! Andro! I need your help!"

"Oh fuck, Ryou! Bakura! Wake up! Snap out of it! Oh gods…"

"What happened? Where did the spell go wrong?"

The teenage magicians were frantic. As Andro and Nicole desperately tried to revive their fallen comrades, the rest searched the spell for any miniscule error.

"He still has a pulse and he's still breathing yet…"

Laura leaned over him, nose twitching.

"He is not physically hurt, at least nothing I can sense."

Nessert nodded.

"I wouldn't worry if I were you."

The six turned. Tait was watching them with a calm expression on his face, as if nothing had happened. Nessert growled and lept up, latching onto his tunic.

"YOU BASTARD WHAT DID YOU DO? I SWEAR-"

"Calm, thief, calm. Look around, where are we?"

"The Gates of Hell. Why?"

The Warlock chuckled.

"You've said it yourself; we're on the boundary between worlds. The reason I chose this place was for that very fact."

"VESSEL'S STEPBROTHER IS STUCK IN SOME ALTERNATE REALITY! WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN US?"

"Initiations are dangerous, they have to be. You MUSt have realized that after yours. Sometimes they have dire consequences, as Heather knows very well. Sometimes they change the very soul of the one being tested."

"In all our tests we had HELP though. Andro, Aaron, and I all were tested at the same time and, when we couldn't help each other, YOU stepped in to make sure all went well."

Andro nodded.

"Tell us where they are so we can help."

The Magus frowned, clearly agitated.

"In your memory."

Nessert blinked.

"Mine?"

"Well, yours and Andro's."

"How? Why?"

The Warlock shook his head.

"The Mazes have not told me."

Heather nodded.

"Then lets go!"

B pouted, annoyed.

"But I don't want to! Can't we leave them to their fate?"

The only thing that kept Heather from strangling her darker half was the knowledge that if it died, she would too. So she just settled for giving B some nasty bruises.

"IF WE LEAVE THEM IT'LL BE OUR FAULT!"

Laura leapt up on the dark-soul's shoulders.

"Then what our we waiting for? Lets go!"

Heather barely nodded before starting a new portal-circle.
