Chapter 6
Mokuba stood alone in his room in the dark with an evil look on his face. In his right hand, was the 3 Exodia cards that he had gotten. He smiled and started laughing. "Only two more cards, and my mission will be complete. Only two more cards...and Exodia...you will be free..." Just then the door opened behind him and a huge man in a tux walked in.
"Mr. Mokuba, Rex Raptor is here to see you..." The man said.
"Excellent, bring him in." Rex Raptor strode into the room and immediately looked around the room.
"Kinda dark in here..." The man walked out and shut the door behind him.
"Did you bring what I asked?" Rex reached inside his jacket pocket and held out the 2 legs of Exodia. Mokuba chuckled evily. As Mokuba reached his hands out for them, Rex pulled them back.
"Did we forget my reward for giving these to you?" Rex asked. Mokuba rolled his eyes and took out of his pocket a small bag of coins. He threw it on the floor right in front of Rex.
"There...now give me the cards..." Rex leaned over and picked up the bag.
"Yeah well...I decided that I change my mind. I could sell these cards for more than this...but...I'll keep the money."
"I don't think so..."
"Oh please, what is a little shrimp like you gonna do, huh?"
"This!" The symbol appeared once again on his forehead and Rex's soul was sucked into it. Mokuba laughed as Rex's lifeless body fell to the ground as did the bag of money and the cards. Just then Kaiba walked down the hall and saw the man in the tux walk down the other side. He walked over to Mokuba's door and poked his head in. Mokuba leaned down and grabbed the cards and money and laughed even more. "Looks like I get to keep both of them." He put all the Exodia cards together in his hand. "Well...It looks like I've got them all." Mokuba walked over to the window and looked at the rising sun. "There's only one more thing I have to get...and I have to go all the way to Egypt to find it..." Mokuba laughed evily. "I guess I'll just have to steal one of that idiot Kaiba's helicopters. Then I can have my Exodia rise and take his judgement on the world!" Mokuba laughed again as he walked out of the door not even noticing Kaiba. Kaiba scowled.
"I have to get that girl and take her to Egypt pronto to stop him!" Kaiba ran down the hall to find her.
--at the museum--
The Pharoah and Iris walked into the musuem and looked around. They walked slowly to the Ancient Egypt exhibit where they immediately noticed Marik and Ishizu. "Marik? Ishizu? What are you two doing here?" The two siblings turned with a smile.
"We actually just came to say goodbye...to you Pharoah." Marik said.
"We knew eventually you'd come back to this exhibit." Ishizu added putting her right hand over the Millinneum Necklace around her neck. "Pharoah, may I speak with you in private?''
"Of course." Pharoah said.
"As does my brother need to speak with you, Iris..." Ishizu and the Pharoah walked away from Marik and Iris.
"Wow, that's a beautiful necklace..." Marik said pointing at the Pheonix necklace Iris had. "Where did you get it?" Iris stood quiet for a minute and then answered him.
"The Pharoah gave it to me back in Ancient Egypt..."
"May I see it?" Iris nodded and took the necklace off and handed it to him.
"How are you, my Pharoah?" Ishizu asked him.
"Confused...I need to protect Iris like you told me, but I can't help feeling that a greater evil is at work here."
"Pharoah, this evil is not like others. It will stop at nothing to capture Iris...and maybe even destroy her. She holds a great power to determine the fate of the entire universe."
"Iris?" The Pharoah looked surprised that someone so meek could be so powerful. Marik held the necklace up so he could get a good look at it.
"Have you figured out what it does yet?" Marik asked her.
"What...it does?" Iris laughed. "It's a necklace..."
"Ah, so you haven't figured it out yet have you?"
"Figured what out?" Marik smiled at her.
"Did you ever get the feeling that this necklace has a great truth behind it...and an ancient history..."
"Uhhh..."
"This necklace has a hidden secret attached to it. But of course, you must find it on your own..."
"How do I find it?" Iris looked confused, she didn't know what to think anymore. Marik smiled and walked up to her.
"When the time is right..." Marik put the necklace back around her neck. "...you'll know." Marik turned back toward his sister and walked to her. "We must go." Ishizu nodded.
"Goodbye, my Pharoah, and good luck." Marik and Ishizu walked away and Iris walked up beside the Pharoah. All of a sudden, Iris looked playful, she giggled to herself and snuck away from the Pharoah.
"Let's see just how much you've changed..." Iris said to herself as she hid behind a tall pillar just a few feet away from the Pharoah.
"I guess we better get going too, Iris..." The Pharoah turned and saw she was gone. "Iris? Iris!" The call for Iris' name made Marik and Ishizu stop and turn around.
"You don't think he's lost her already do you?" Marik asked. "She's not that much of a handful." The two saw Iris hiding behind the pillar and sighed with relief. The Pharoah looked around and everytime he was looking the opposite way, Iris poked her head out to look at him. After a few times of pulling her head back she finally forgot one time and the Pharoah just barely saw her head slip behind the pillar. The Pharoah looked a little irritated as he crossed his arms. He walked around the other side of the pillar.
"Now is not the time for games, Iris." The Pharoah said scaring her. Iris laughed until she saw how irritated he was, she then hung her head low. The Pharoah led her out of the musuem. Just then Joey, Tristan and Tea walked up to them.
"There you are, we've been looking everywhere for you." Tea told him. Iris stood away from them consumed in her own thoughts.
'I can't believe how much he's changed.' She looked up at him. 'That's not the same Pharoah I knew...'
"So, now that we found you, how bout getting something to eat, whatd'ya say?" Tristan asked.
"Sure..." Iris' eyes closed as a tear rolled down her face.
'What's happened to him? I miss the old Pharoah...I gotta get outta here and find my way back home!' All of a sudden, Iris ran down the steps crying.
"Hey Iris, where ya going?" Joey asked.
"Come on, we've got to follow her." Pharoah said. The four friends ran after her. She ran into an alley which only the Pharoah saw her do. Joey, Tristan and Tea ran right past her, as the Pharoah saw her crouched on the ground crying in her knees. "Iris..." Iris looked up at him.
"You've changed Pharoah...back in Ancient Egypt...you weren't so...so serious...you'd play with me...we'd hide from the Royal Guards...you used to do pretty much anything with me and now...you won't..." Tears streamed down her face.
"Iris...I'm sorry..." Pharoah knelt down beside her and held out his hands with a smile. "Look...I promise...no matter what it takes, I'm going to get you back home."
"But I'm not leaving without you..." Iris grabbed his hands and he helped her stand up. "You're my best friend, Pharoah..."
"I have to get my memory back...I can't leave here until I do..." Just then, Joey, Tristan and Tea ran back into the alley.
"There you two are..." Joey said. While the Pharoah and Iris were looking at them, someone grabbed Iris and pulled her back.
"Pharoah!" They turned to see Kaiba pulling Iris towards an opening.
"Kaiba! Put her down!" The four friends ran after him and stopped when they saw him stop. "You don't want to do this."
"Oh yes I do. I tried to ask her the easy way to help my little brother and she turned me down. Now my brother's heading to Egypt and I have to stop him, whether she wants to come or not."
"But you don't have to kidnapp an innocent girl to do so." Pharoah told him. "I can help you, Kaiba, but I can't have you hurt Iris..."
"I need Iris, Ishizu told me she was the only one who can save Mokuba, that means you can't do anything to help him."
"Well if you want to do it the hard way!" Tristan yelled as he started to run up to Kaiba and pulled back his fist. Just before he hit Kaiba, Kaiba held Iris up in front of him, making Tristan stop.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Just then a helicopter landed right behind Kaiba. "I'm taking her to Egypt with me, and there's nothing you can do to stop me." Kaiba threw Iris into the helicopter and he jumped in.
"IRIS!" Pharoah screamed.
"PHAROAH!" Iris screamed back, she had never been so scared in her entire life.
"Come on, we've got to find Marik and Ishizu before they leave."
"What do we need them for?" Tea asked.
"Because they're on their way to Egypt too." The four friends ran back towards the museum where they saw Marik and Ishizu walking down the steps. The Pharoah ran up to them. "Marik, Ishizu, we need a ride to Egypt."
"What's wrong?" Ishizu asked.
"And...where's Iris?" Marik asked him.
"Kaiba took her..."
--a few minutes later--
The Pharoah, Ishizu, Marik, Joey, Tristan and Tea were in the helicopter not far behind Kaiba's, which they finally just spotted. "Look, there he is!" Pharoah said.
"Hold on." Marik said. Marik was the one driving the helicopter and he flew it right behind Kaiba's helicopter so they wouldn't lose him again.
--a few minutes later in Egypt--
Kaiba's helicopter landed and Kaiba picked Iris up and threw her out the door, but instead of falling to the ground she was caught by someone familiar...
