Note: Based on the name, most will know that there is a connection to the Oldest Immortal, Methos of Highlander but he is unlikely to appear any time soon except in memories.

Please review and be kind. Enjoy the new chapter!

Thank you to kikoken, Josh, labyrinth of chaos and dangerousgirl for your reviews.

Kikoken: Yami Malik is worse than dead meat.

labyrinth of chaos: No, I do not care much for Malik. However, Malik gets to live which is more that I can say for Yami Malik.

dangerousgirl: Yes, Malik had to understand the truth of his past and he will suffer for it, but he had Isis and Rashid to help him.

Chapter 4 - Justice in the name of God Part 2

Continuous screams come from both Malik and Yami Malik, yet what everyone felt was the soul-deep anguish from each scream from Malik, with heart-felt pain and despairs. Shadi looked on with indifference at the sight and in the same cold and emotionless tone that he was just in, commented. "Wouldn't the Millennium Scales would be more suitable to judge and punish the guilty, High Priest Seth. It is after all one of the main function of the Millennium Scales."

"No, my God and I had something much appropriate in mind for them and you Shadi have spent much time in the land of dead with your God, haven't you. The power in your two Millennium Items had been greatly augment by Lord Anubis and your own power, they, like my own Millennium Scepter can never be used by anyone else now, can they."

"Yes, High Priest. They can only be used by myself or chosen of my God, Lord Anubis. However, they do not have a second form. Unlike your Millennium Scepter which when not bonded to yourself can be used by one with shadow magic in its dormant state (Millennium Rod) and cannot be used by anyone else when its had now rebonded to yourself. My Items can be use if my Lord Anubis allows them or sufficient magic are used to overcome them but the power level needed would be beyond most mortal. I have served my God, Lord Anubis in the underworld in the past five thousand years and my Millennium Items have also acquire powers from the underworld, one of it the shadow beast that devours corrupted souls." Shadi replied respectfully yet emotionlessly.

"By your Lord Anubis's standard."

"Of course." Shadi would have continue but he was interrupted by Isis's actions when she forcefully moved passed him and stepped up to Seto.

"What have you done to my brother!" Shouted Isis at Seto with her hands pounding at Seto's crest, her fear and anguish at the sight of her brother had let her overcome her fears of the High Priest.

"Something that you should have done a long time ago and the worst punishment possible for him. Reveling the Truth." Replied Seto calmly in direct contrast to Isis's reactions, as she slowly sink to ground in realization of what horrors her brother is suffering, the killing of their father.

"And one of the most favorite weapon of your God, almost a tenet of His. Even my Lord Anubis respect that aspect of your God when aroused, there are some truth that even the dead fears." Whispered Shadi in a volume only Seto and Isis had heard.

"Truth...Truth..What do you know of the truth, Shadi. It was what you said to my brother that led him on this path." Isis murmured in despairs, as she knows what her brother is going through, the truth that only she had known and suffered under. The horrifying event that had haunted her every night and had casts its shadow over their life. The truth that she had protected Malik and Rashid from, now revealed.

"Shadi viewed things differently. He spends a long time in the land of the dead in service of his God, Lord Anubis before his current reincarnation. It affects the way he view events even after he is reborn. He told you of the occurrence as he saw it, Isis. He know a lot of secrets but he is not all knowing." Replied Seto after giving Shadi that same soul-piercing glare, he had given Isis earlier. Something pasted between Shadi and Seto at that, and Shadi distance himself a bit as he seemingly contemplate over some choices.

Isis raised her face from the ground, a decision made, a last hope for her brother. Grim determinations fill her as she shifted herself to a kneeling position in front of Seto, slowly undo the clasp on her Millennium Torc. Cupping the Millennium Torc in both her hands, she offered up the Millennium Torc to Seto while bowing to him. There are only pure purpose and conviction when she speaks as her tears slowly dripped onto the ground. "High Priest Seth. I, Isis Ishizu of the Tomb Keeper bloodline, am humbly offering up my Millennium Item, the Millennium Torc to you and your God to beg for mercy to my brother Malik Ishizu. Please, my lord. Our family has faithfully guarded the secrets of the Pharoah and the Millennium Items for five thousand years. Have mercy on him on accounts of the devoted service of my family in these five thousand years, my lord. All the blood, pain, death paid by my family in the name of duty, please have leniency on us. We will never cross your path again..if we can help it, High Priest Seth."

The image of Isis and the resonance of her feelings for her brother struck a chord in Seto as he whispered to himself. "Mokuba." In that moment he saw himself in Isis, to risk all for her brother, next come the memories of Priestess Aishizu, Isis's ancestor and her past life, of her devotion to him and after a moment of consideration. "Agreed, as the truth is sufficient punishment for him." Seto placed the Millennium Torc within his clothing after lifting it from Isis's hand, dismissing her. The light around Malik had cease and he laid in a dead faint on the ground. "Isis, take your brother and go. However, take care that he does not cross my path again, I will not be so merciful the next time." *And this clears all debts between us, Aishizu. Be well.*

"Thank you, High Priest Seth. My lord, do you want the Divine Card of The Sun Dragon?" Isis asks, her desire to leave with her brother is strong but she does not want the High Priest to come after her brother again later. Hopefully, they will never cross paths again, the High Priest is dangerous and his God... His presence rivals the power in all three of the Divine Monster Cards together and she does not wish the God's attention on them.

"No, The Sun Dragon is not for me, the rightful owner will come to you for it when he is ready. Only Obelisk belongs to me, just as Slifer the Sky Dragon belongs to Yugi. However, leave the Millennium Ring and the sheath of my Millennium Rod." Seto commands. "A word of warning, Isis. You have heard what Shadi had said 'Purpose born from shadow's twisted dark desires.' You may think that Yami Malik did all those things because he was psychotic and insane, however he did nothing that Malik did not desires in some ways. Except trying to harm Rashid, that was solely Yami Malik wanting to be free. Think on it."

Without another word, Isis handed the Millennium Ring first and then the golden sheath that had covered the bladed end of the Millennium Rod to Seto before immediately going over to Malik and half-carrying her unconscious brother to the Dueling Blimp.

After draping the Millennium Ring on his Millennium Scepter, Seto accepts the sheath of the Millennium Rod from Isis. Upon contact with Seto's left hand, the sheath glowed softly and melts, the liquid gold moved to encircle around his middle finger and towards the back of his hand. Only to solidify again in another glow leaving a Blue Eye White Dragon in matching design to his circlet and armlets on the back of his hand, completes with two sapphire jewels appearing for its eyes and its tail ringed around his middle finger.

"Now, its your turn." Seto stepped toward Yami Malik with a half smirk half malicious smile that freezes every drop of non-existing blood in Yami Malik's body as he tries to speak, to do something. But he can make no movement and no words except to scream.

"My Lord Nic Methos, my God of Lighting and Fire, please lent me your Purifying Fire and Divine Wrath. Spirit Wrath!" As Seto invoke the power of his God, specks of blue lightening shine in his eyes while a red ball of energy with a white-blue core forms between his hands. The energy ball hit Yami Malik and in that shocking moment seems to have no effect on Yami Malik. Then it happened, red flames cover his entire outer body while tendrils of white and blue energy splintered his body from the inside. Yami Malik had just the time to give off one last scream, the pain and horrifying realization of his fate in his eyes as he disintegrate chills the hearts of Yugi and Bakura and the echo of his death scream lingered in the air.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

F/N:

Malik had gotten away with his life and most of his sanity by Isis's sacrifice. But as Seto said truth is sufficient punishment for him as it is the sword that cuts the deepest and wounded that most. What was worst for Malik is the knowledge that he had desired his father's death, very badly as his father had harmed him and tried to kill Rashid.

~Ops!~ Part of this sentence is suppose to be on the next chapter.

Yami Malik and the eight rare hunters with him had gotten what they deserves for harming and aiding to harm Mokuba. For the rest of the Ghouls, lets say Seto and Nic Methos will issue out some divine justice.

I have also touched a bit on the relationship between High Priest Seth and the other priests. There might be more on their relationship in the past in around 4 or 5 chapters later, I am not certain.

A Question to all readers, who do you think that the Divine Card of The Sun Dragon belong to? Please give your views.
