If there were any place where Bakura would have a fun time, it would be sliding down the giant plumbing tubes that the hole from above connected with. "YEEEEEEEEEHHHHAAAAAAAWW!" he screamed on his way down as the others just yelled.
Yami watched as Bakura passed him, and was amazed that instead of being on his back like he was, Bakura was on his feet, weaving in and out as if he were surfing. After what seemed like forever, all of them finally reached the end of the pipes and fell out into a large pit of some sort. Yami, Ron and Harry sort of collided with each other, while Bakura gracefully landed on his feet.
"OH MAN! THAT WAS AWESOME! LET'S DO IT AGAIN! LET'S DO IT AGAIN!" Bakura chanted excitedly. Yami and Harry stared at the Tomb Robber in disbelief. Usually Bakura was quiet or harsh, never like this. Yami looked at himself, the pipes he was just in was filled with slime and filth. "Ugh...this ain't right," he muttered as he flung the sleeves of his clothes to the side, sending slime flying.
Bakura rolled his eyes at the Pharaoh, then noticed something about the pit they were in. It was filled to their ankles with bones. Rats and lizards bones covered every inch of the floor. "Well...looks like we're in the right place," he said quietly, eye's darting around. Harry picked himself up and noticed Lockhart, pale as a ghost, shivering at the sight.
After getting their bearings, the group made their way out of the pit and into a large network of tunnels. "Well this is nice. Least I got a good place to hide my stash," Bakura commented as he looked around. Yami rolled his eyes, "Baka Tomb Robber," he muttered under his breath. Bakura glared at Yami, who waved him off. Harry ssh-ed them both as they came to a tunnel that had a large mound in the middle of it.
Ron squeaked as Lockhart fainted at the sight of it, while Lucien walked over and sniffed it. Harry carefully made his way to the mound and held up a part of it for the others to see. "Holy Ra," Yami and Bakura breathed at the same time. Harry was holding a huge snake skin that seemed to measure at least 60 feet. Ron finally came around and noticed Lockhart, collapsed on the ground.
He crouched down and nudged him, "Oi...wake up!" he hissed. Suddenly, Lockhart sprang from his spot and grabbed Ron's wand out of his pocket. Surprised, Ron backed away into the others looked in shock at the wand pointed at them. "Looks like the Adventure ends here boys! I'll take a bit of that skin back, tell everyone I was too late to save the girl, and that every single one of you tragically lost your minds. Say goodbye to your memories!" he said gleefully as he raised Ron's Spell-o-Taped wand, "Obliviate!".
Lockhart yelled the spell and thrusted the wand at them, but it all went bad. The light from the spell reached the tip of the wand, then exploded into a bright flash. The backfired spell also made the tunnel shake, making rocks and dirt fall from the ceiling. Bakura grabbed Yami's and Harry's collars and pulled them just as large rocks came raining down on them.
The three of them, along with Lucien, hit the floor and covered their heads, waiting out the cave-in. As soon as it became quiet again, they looked back to see the tunnel was sealed off. "RON! RON CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Harry yelled. Ron's muffled voice came from the other side, "Yeah I can. Don't worry about me, I'm fine! So is this bugger," he said right before a loud THUMP and an OW! was heard.
Bakura grinned, "Kick him a few times for me!" he called to the red haired boy. Yami tried to pull away some stones, but he wasn't able to. "You guys go on ahead, I'll stay here and see what I can do!" Ron yelled. Bakura shrugged and looked around, there were still some tunnels going in all directions. Harry sighed, "Any ideas?" he asked his friends.
The white haired Tomb Robber held up the Millenium Ring. "Show us the way to the stolen Items," he commanded. The Ring glowed and the small, golden arrows pointed ahead of them. "Bingo...," he said grinning. They followed the Ring's guidance and soon came to a large, round iron door with snakes on it.
"Something tells me we found it," Yami commented. Harry stepped forward and concentrated, then hissed in Parseltongue. The snakes around the door shrank in size and the iron door creaked open, allowing entry to the trio. They stepped into a huge chamber that had statues on either side of a pathway that led to a large statuette of a man with a beard.
Yami noticed the hollow eyes of the snake statues seemed to follow them as they walked. "Ginny!" Harry cried. Bakura noticed three forms lying motionless on the stone floor ahead of them. They ran up to them to see Ginny, Tea, and Mokuba still as corpses, breathing very slowly. "Aw geez...this isn't good," Bakura mumbled as he checked for other signs of life.
"They won't wake up,"
Bakura lifted his head to see a young man in robes come out of the shadows. "Tom Riddle!" Harry cried. Bakura and Yami looked at him confused, "Eh?". Lucien turned to look at the newcomer and began to growl. Bakura noticed this, but Yami and Harry ignored it.
"They won't wake up," Riddle explained as he walked closer to them. Yami narrowed his eyes as Harry looked confused, "Are they...?". Riddle shook his head, "No. They're alive...only just," he explained.
Riddle then broke into a smile, "It's rather funny how a small trinket from the past can screw things up in other's lives...don't you agree, Tomb Robber?" he asked, turning to Bakura. The Thief King glared at him, "How do you...?" he started. Riddle grinned again, "You wouldn't believe what secrets people know and write in a book that talks back to them. I know all about you, the Pharaoh...and the Items," he said as he held up the Puzzle, the Rod, and the Necklace.
Yami backed away from him, "You're the one who's the Heir!". Riddle laughed slightly, "Yes. Amazing that you were able to figure that out so soon. Usually I have to explain everything in detail. Like how that diary of Ginny's...my diary fell into her hands and how she poured every she knew about the great Harry Potter and Yugi Motou into it's pages,".
"One thing I don't understand however. Is that, how is it possible for two boys that have little experience in the arts...managed to defeat Lord Voldemort, the greatest wizard of all time?" Riddle wondered. Bakura crossed his arms, "The hell you care?" he snapped. Harry nodded, "Voldemort was before your time, so why worry?" he asked Riddle.
The young wizard held up Harry's wand, which had fallen when they ran to check on the others and wrote fiery letters in the air in front of him.
TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE
Yami and Bakura watched as Riddle whisked the wand and the letters began to rearrange themselves to form new words.
I AM LORD VOLDEMORT
The three of them stared in utter surprise as Lucien's growling turned to barking. "Voldemort...is my past, present, and future," Riddle explained. "Holy...shit," Bakura yelped. "Now...let's have some fun shall we?" Riddle asked as he turned to face the giant stone face. He raised his arms and said in a clear voice, "Speak to me, Slytherin. Greatest of the Hogwarts Four!". Harry watched as the mouth of the statue slide open and listened intently as rustling was heard.
"Guys...RUN!" Harry yelled before taking off. Yami and Lucien went down a seperate tunnel as Bakura hid behind another statue. Riddle ignored the Spirits and kept his gaze on Harry, "You can't run forever, Potter! My Basilisk will only obey me, even if you are another Parselmouth!" he shouted as the huge snake monster glided out of the mouth of the statue next to him. Riddle glanced at his pet and ordered it to seek Harry out and kill him.
Meanwhile, Yami and Lucien took refuge in one of the tunnels. They weren't sure where the monster was, they just knew it was out and about somewhere. The Pharaoh leaned against the tunnel wall, trying to catch his breath when an ear-splitting screech reached him. Lucien howled due to the pain of his extra sensitive ears as Yami covered his ears.
After a few moments, Yami looked around the area as he listened for any movement. "Let's go, Lucien," he whispered. The Worg made a noise as if to acknowledge the command and followed the Pharaoh down the dark tunnels. They came back to the main chamber to find Bakura fighting off something in the shadows. "BAKURA!" he shouted.
Bakura ducked as a sword's blade swiped at him, then looked over at Yami, "DAMMIT PHARAOH! Why do you keep interrupting my fights!" he barked as he swung two long daggers he kept hidden underneath his coat, at his assailant. Yami was surprised to see Brian do a high backflip to avoid the blades.
"GUARDIAN! Bakura, that's Brian!" he shouted. Bakura growled, "I know that! He's being controlled by something!" he yelled back. Yami looked closer to see Brian's eyes were blank and vacant, the look of a mind slave of some sort. Riddle laughed from his spot on the sidelines, "Yes...your protector is here, Pharaoh. Turns out, he's very easy to control. As is the Weasley girl, after all, I made her write the messages on the walls. I've been having him stay in hiding, picking out likely targets. It was because of him, I took out the wealthy, arrogant fool, the know-it-all Mudblood, and your Light," he explained.
Yami clenched his fists into balls, angry that someone was using his friend as a tool. Before he could do anything about it, Harry came running back into the room carrying a large sword with rubies on the handle. "RUN YOU IDIOTS RUN!" he screamed. This caused Brian to turn around and fix his eyes on Harry. Bakura took this chance to execute a sweepkick, followed by a hard leg slam to Brian's chest, knocking him out cold on the floor.
The Pharaoh watched as Harry climbed the statue of Salazar Slytherin. He was confused by his actions, but didn't have time to think as the Basilisk shot out of the pool of water that surrounded the statue. Yami and Bakura stood in awe as they looked upon the size of the great reptilian beast. They could also see where the eyes should be, were bloody sockets. "Well, takes care of that problem," Bakura noted.
Yami ignored the Tomb Robber and looked around for something to help Harry out. "Bakura! Use your Ring!" he ordered. Bakura looked down and grinned. "DIABOUND! COME FORTH FROM THE SHADOW REALM!" he ordered. A black portal appeared and a large winged beast with a snake's head for a tail appeared in front of him. It was almost the size of the Basilisk and almost as good looking (LOL).
The serpent turned away from Harry and roared at the Diabound. They both snapped at each other, and luckily, Diabound wasn't affected by the venom in it's fangs. "HARRY! FINISH IT OFF!" Bakura screamed at him. Harry nodded and gripped the sword tightly. He ran to the edge of the statue and leapt off, aiming for the Basilisk's skull. The serpent seemed to sense him because it turned around and opened it's mouth wide.
"HARRY!" Yami yelled, fearing the worst. The serpent's mouth closed around Harry's arm, sinking it's teeth deep into his flesh. Harry screamed in pain, but managed to shove the sword deep into it's brain. The Basilisk let go of Harry's arm and the boy fell to the stone floor below. "Oh no you don't," Bakura hissed as he ran to catch him.
The great serpent roared one last time before crashing to the floor, dead. Bakura managed to catch Harry who had a large fang embedded into his arm. "Jeez kid...every second you become more like me," Bakura joked as he set the boy down. Riddle appeared nearby once more, "You may have killed my beast...but Potter here dies anyway. The venom of a Basilisk is deadly. Soon he will die," he seethed.
Bakura glared at him, ready to send him to the Shadow Realm when a faint singing was heard above. He and Yami looked up to see a beautiful red bird descending. They watched as it settled next to Harry who smiled weakly, his face pale. "Hello Fawkes...guess I was too late eh?" he cracked quietly. Fawkes leaned forward and tears rolled off his beak onto Harry's open wound. The Spirit's watched in amazement as the wound cleaned itself up and sealed itself.
Riddle cursed, "Phoenix tears, I forgot about that...,". Harry picked himself up, the fang clenched in his fist. "Please...there's nothing you can do to me," Riddle scoffed at him. Harry smiled and picked up the diary that laid nearby. He opened it up and Riddle's eyes grew wide, realizing what was happening.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" he screamed as Harry plunged the serpent's fang into the pages of the book. Black ink bubbled from the holes of the book as holes of light appeared on Riddle's body. Harry stabbed the book one more time, as hard as he could. They all watched as Riddle exploded in a blinding flash, leaving no trace whatsoever.
