Chapter 41- Reawakenings

-Abyssal Lord says: So WHY, exactly, are you here.-

-Masterthief says: Well… er… we have an issue in your mode of expertise Nic.-

Nicole blinked.

-Hrw Yw Chm says: What? Egypt?-

-Masterthief says: On the dot.-

Oh shoot, why do I feel like I know whats going on?

-HaLo RlZ says: Let me guess, the gods are rampaging?-

-Abyssal Lord says: You dolt! Osiris, Ra, and Obelisk have been resealed and Apep and Sekhmet are HERE! ONE OF THEM IS TALKING TO YOU!-

-Masterthief says: That's not it ether. It seems a few rather powerful artifacts have resurfaced again in an 'abandoned' temple a few kilos off Thebes.-

-Hrw Yw Chm says: Which dynasty? When was the temple dated to?-

-Masterthief says: About 1050 b.c.e. New dynasty, I don't recognize the Pharaoh. A few native mages told me the artifacts were awakening because one went missing.-

Nicole felt a sinking feeling.

-Hrw Yw Chm says: Describe remaining artifacts.-

This could be really, really bad.

-Masterthief says: Various shapes, all blood-alchemic gold, only common feature is a stylized Wadjet eye.-

Oh crud.

"Ryou!"

There was a squeaking of floorboards from upstairs and her stepbrother appeared at the top of the stairs, Bakura standing next to him with crossed arms.

"Yes?"

"Could I see your necklace for a moment?"
Ryou blinked, coming carefully down the stairs.

"Sure. Why?"

"Because I think we may have a problem."

Nicole took the item and looked it over carefully. Nessert yawned and, rolling off the bed, padded over, hands clasped behind her head.

"Whatzup?"

Nicole tapped the item, whispering a single syllable, and the item glowed crimson, Bakura snarling.

"WHAT DID YOU-"

"Nothing, just checking something."

-Hrw Yw Chm says: I think I know where the missing item went.-

-Abyssal Lord says: What? Ryou?-

-Masterthief says: the new kid?-

"Er Ryou?"

"Yes?"

"Did you realize that the necklace you're wearing was sorta sealed before you got it?"

"Well, yes. My father got it for me."

"How long ago?"

"About 6 years."

Too long ago.

"Did it get resealed?"

"I don't think so…"

Bakura's eyes had widened and he was acting fidgety.

"I know that Yugi and Malik returned their Millennium Items, and that Dark Yugi went to the afterlife, but Bakura said I got to keep the Ring."

Nessert laughed.

"Were you in Egypt at the time?"

"Well, yes."

Nessert burst out laughing.

"THIS IS RICH! You unsealed the Millennium Items! Again!"

Ryou blinked, then turned to his darker half.

"Did you-?"

"Yes, but I didn't know it would reawaken the others. It really shouldn't of."

"What are the reasons the Millennium Items reawaken."

"Whenever the world needs the Pharaoh." Bakura sighed. "Let me guess, Mr. High and Mighty is coming back."

-Hrw Yw Chm says: Are any of the item bearers showing up?-

-Masterthief says: Yeah. Some traditional Egyptian kid, a little spiky-haired Japanese kid and his friends, and the billionaire Seto Kaiba.-
