Scene Change

"Italics" Mind Speech

This is set just before the Pharaoh's Memory Arc….

Blurb; Yami has actually been evil all along and now he's taking over the world! Will Yugi and Ryou be able to stop Him? And what about Kaiba!

Chapter 2; A world in Chaos

Yugi clutching his throbbing head. It's felt like someone had shoved a steel rod through one side of his head and out the other. His body wasn't much better. He was so tired he could barely move without feeling even more exhausted. Yugi moaned whishing the pain would stop.

Trying his best to focus on where he was he managed to make out the usually weight that was missing from his chest. Thinking about the Millennium Puzzle, Yugi started to panic.

"Shh, it's okay little one…That took a lot out of both of us…" whispered the voice next the teenager's ear, wrapping his arms around Yugi in an attempt to calm him. "It's okay,"

And with that Yugi Motou lost consciousness…

Ryou stared at the sky as he walked home from the grocery store.

"The sky's black…" he muttered, "It couldn't be a storm… not at this time of year…" whispered the Teenager staring at the sky. Clouds covered overhead for as far as the eye could see.

Children stopped to point and store managers stepped outside to see what all the fuss was about. Ryou glanced around then back at the Sky. Something was wrong…

As the Hikari felt Bakura try to take over he decided that was all the conformation he needed. He turned on his heels and dropped the groceries running as fast as his feet would carry him. Finding an empty warehouse he pulled the door open taking one last glance up.

The sky was and un-holy dark, tinged with purple…like- Ryou panicked when the realization hit him. It was shadow magic! Stepping inside the warehouse he locked the door and found a spot behind some boxes where he could hide wrapping his arms around himself.

Outside he could hear the thunder it was so close, Ryou could tell the lightning must have been incredible. It was right over the city and those caught outside screamed in panic as trees came toppling town, split timber flying in all directions…

Holding himself tighter Ryou closed his eyes as the lights flickered and before several bulbs exploded. Left in darkness Ryou tried his best to block out the sounds, he didn't know how long he sat there but it seemed like hours and all the while Bakura seemed unsurprised

Over the three days Yugi slept, Ryou hid and the world quaked…

Entire countries suffered from natural disasters so horrible and deadly emergency services where stretched to breaking point, communication was down almost every where and the sky just seemed to get darker.

Yugi opened his eyes glancing around in awe, he felt like he was back in Egypt again. The room he was in reminded him almost exactly of the Pharaoh's bed cambers in Ancient Egypt.

Over the balcony exit however there was a wall of shadow magic blocking a view to the outside world.

For a moment Yugi considered he might be in Yami's soul room, but he dismissed the idea, the magic around this place wasn't right. Closing his eyes Yugi focused. He was still in Domino, but where in Domino he wasn't sure and he could feel very strong Shadow magic stretching over the city and beyond.

Sighing he checked himself over. He didn't seem hurt, just tired, and the net of protection spells Yami had around him at all times seemed tighter, stronger and more secure

Instinctively Yugi went to his chest to grab the Puzzle for comfort but he was met with an empty space. Glancing down Yugi noticed that the Millennium puzzle was gone. He started to shake, what had happened! Was Yami okay? What about his friends and his Grandfather?

Taking quick breaths Yugi glanced around trying to remember what happened to the Puzzle. The teenager's distress came to a grinding halt however as Yami sent him soothing emotions over their mind link. Yugi slowed his breath, so Yami could still hear him but how was it possible for Yugi to project his mind without the Puzzle?

"Yami are you there?" Asked Yugi tentatively trying to reach out to his other half,

"Yes, I'm here Hikari"

"What happened? Where's the Puzzle?"

"Everything's fine, and don't worry about the Puzzle, we don't need it anymore..."

Yugi paused, they didn't need the Puzzle? Since when the hell did that happen!

Yugi sighed Yami wasn't telling him everything. He didn't need to be a genius to figure that out, and frankly this whole thing was starting to annoy him. Why couldn't Yami just give him a straight answer!

Falling back on the bed, Yugi noticed his frustration had been felt over on the other side of the mind link…wait a freaking minuet! If Yugi didn't have the Puzzle anymore, how did he?-

Sure talking to Yami was possible, after all they where two halves of the same soul, but Yugi used magic that was usually harnessed by he Puzzle to tell him where he was and locate the shadow magic surrounding the city. That couldn't be possible on his own something drastic had to have changed.

"What aren't you telling me?" Asked the Hikari

"Should have known better than to try and hide the truth from you..." Mused the Pharaoh

"We don't need to puzzle anymore because I have all my power back and a body" replied Yami after a moment

"How did you..."

"Get a body? Don't worry you're still in one piece, why would I hurt my little Hikari? This body was attained by sucking the life force from Seto Kaiba" Stated Yami calmly, and Yugi could almost feel him smirk.

"WHAT?" Screamed Yugi sitting up "How could you do that?"

Yugi took a deep breath trying to clam down, what the hell was wrong with his Yami?

The Hikari looked over the room again suspiciously before continuing

"You did this to the City, didn't you?"

"Yes"

Ryou made his way down the streets of Domino, sticking to the alleys and empty streets, god only knew what kind of monsters had been unleashed on the city.

Who could do this? Ryou sighed as he kept walking. It couldn't have been Bakura; he would have felt it and his Yami would have been outside causing chaos if that was the case.

It wasn't Yami Marik, that psycho bastard was long dead.

Ryou ran through a list of assorted villains they had encountered in the past, but none fit the profile, where they fighting a completely new enemy with shadow powers?

Ryou shook his head, this magic was too familiar and come to think of it where were Yugi and Yami? Shouldn't the Pharaoh be off saving the day like he does best?

The Hikari stayed as alert as possible as he came to a stop in an empty street, worst come to worst Bakura would help him out of a bad situation. Closing his eyes the Hikari started to search for Yugi, the fellow Hikari might be able to help him figure out what was going on.

However as he started to search, he triggered something. Bracing for impact Ryou hoped to dear god he could still see straight after this…

Before Ryou could take on the blast he felt Bakura take over, next thing he knew as the wave of shadow magic hit them it was almost like the spirit was pushed right out of him and slammed into the wall behind them.

Turning around Ryou looked like a deer in the headlights. There was his Yami, leaning against the cement with a sour look on his face. The worst thing was they both had a physical form

"Oh Holy Crap, this is not my day…"

Yugi turned on his knees to face his dark half leaning in the doorway. Yugi clutched the sheets tightly as Yami made his way over.

"Why?" the Hikari pleaded tears welling in his eyes, now unable to hold them back anymore.

"Because this is the way things should be, can't you of all people understand why I need to do this?"

"I don't" whispered Yugi, "I just want my Yami back"

"Your 'Yami' doesn't' exist, but don't worry everything is going to be just fine" replied the Pharaoh drawing himself closer and pulling Yugi into his arms

"Your going to kill me aren't you?"

"If I was going to do that, I would have" whispered Yami holding Yugi tightly "No, you are a part of me and as such you have great power. You can make me stronger"

Yugi shook slightly but didn't try to move

"You're going to absorb my life force into your own" replied the Hikari not really needing to ask the question, they both knew the answer.

"We'll never be apart again"
