Yugi-Yoh: Shamans and Ancient Spirits.

CHAPTER 4 "With new strength come new enemies."

"So, Kaiba, you still don't believe me? Maybe this will convince you."

YU-GI-OH!

"Can you see any differences now?"

"Guys! Did you see that? I think that's some kind of a unity!"

"Yugi, your cheap tricks won't convince me now same as they failed before."

"Hey, Yugi. Is this your guardian spirit? He looks just like you - only a bit older."

"What do you mean, Trey? You actually can see the difference?"

"We all can see that this is not Yugi but some other guy."

"Yeah, me too. But who is he?"

"I am Yami and it was me who was a Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt 5000 years ago."

"Blah blah blah. Yugi, will you ever stop that?"

"Say, Yugi, or Yami... Anyways, I don't understand one thing - what do three of you have got on your arms?"

"These are our Duel Disks. Kaiba was the one who designed them."

"And what are they for?"

"Well, as I said earlier, there is a game called Duel Monsters. These Disks enable us to visualise the cards with holograms."

"Yeah, you already said that. But how come your... Black Magician, right? So, how was he able to attack physically?"

"In the times of the Ancient Egypt the monsters were real and only later they were trapped into the cards to save the world from destruction. Something like that. I'm not sure because I can't remember my past that clearly..."

"Are you a reincarnation or what?"

"Might be..."

"Ah, enough of those reincarnated... One Zeke is bad enough. Sorry..."

"And who is that Zeke anyway?"

"Zeke is the most powerful shaman on Earth, at least we were told so. He lived 1000 years ago but now has returned again to kill all people and leave only shamans to live in his world of shamans. We must stop his madness..."

"Saving the world... Quite familiar. I wonder how many madmen are there in the world..."

"Oh, many enough to make our lives miserable..."

"Guys, LOOK!"

A car has just stopped nearby.

Several people came out of it and approached the group.

"Anna! And Morty! Hi, friends!"

"And... Faust? What is HE doing here? Wait, isn't that Eliza? ALIVE Eliza? Strange..!"

"Oh, Jun is here, too! And with Lee Pai Long, of course."

"Hi, Tamara."

"Yoh, we must hurry. I brought you the Book of Shamans that was written by the original Zeke. You must read it to gain new power."

"Ok, Anna, just calm down. Let's do it."

"Ehm, Yoh. WE also want to read it. Don't we?"

"Yeah!"

"Len, this is only meant for Yoh because Zeke is actually one of his ancestors. This is kind of a family business."

"And if we ask NICELY?"

"Len, put your weapon aside. I think Anna will allow all of you to join me, won't she?"

"Ok... But you must hurry. I'll open a portal to the book's dimension."

Anna created a portal and Yoh with his friends and Faust went into it.

They were absent for some 10 minutes and then came out.

But... they just stood speechless.

"Yoh! Trey! Anybody! What's with you, guys?"

"They tasted the poison of evil. Now we must destroy them."

"HEY! Who are you?"

"We are the X-Laws and our goal is to defeat Zeke and free the Earth from his evil plans. But if you aren't with us - then you are against us. Yoh refused to join us already twice. Now he will pay for that."

The X-Laws aimed their guns at Yoh and his friends.

Several angel-looking spirits appeared above them.

"Michael, kill them with your Sword of Justice!"

A huge explosion raised a cloud of dust but when it faded everybody saw that Yoh and his friends were safe and sound because Yoh blocked the attack with his sword.

"Hey, Marko. We're just fine. Hehehe!"

"Yeah, I feel wonderful!"

"Me too."

"I feel so strong."

"WOW!"

"Thanks, Anna!"

"Very well. Yoh, you survived this time. But if you will decide to join Zeke - we'll kill you all."

The X-Laws disappeared.

"Phewww..! It was close."

"Poor Lyserg! What did they do to you?"

"Huh?"

"Saw that green-haired guy? Rio's former protégé."

"Understood..."

"So, what's next?"

"Dobie Village, we're coming!"
