XX. Hearts that Return
At the bed chamber, Yugi and Atemu were catching up their old times. Time passes so quickly that there's no time nor space in the Afterlife Past. Atemu was even glad that his aibou came but he never thought that they would make fun of Seto, who totally has no idea when they spoke japanese.
"No wonder you were able to speak our language but one thing that puzzles me" Atemu said wondering
"What?" Yugi questioned.
"Where did you come up with the name Ra-seru? I can't believe you're that cloaked manthat saved my life and since when did you play cool all of a sudden that's my line" Atemu smirked
"Hey! I have no choice you know, I was paniking because...uhhhh I didn't want anyone to think that I am you if you get what I mean plus..." Yugi stuttered and then he became serious.
"What?" Atemu questioned
"The reason I came here is to find out the darkness that was already spreading Egypt and Domino" Yugi said.
"What! The darkness was already spreading!" Atemu exclaimed.Yugi nodded
"I have a bad feeling that it has something to do with High Mage Heishin and the Darkness Game" Yugi said sternly
"I agree, he nearly tried to kill you what gives?" Atemu wondered.
"To tell you the truth I have no idea at all and besides I don't even know why I was called 'reincarnated pharaoh' in the first place" Yugi frowned.
"Maybe because you were the bearer of the Millennium Puzzle?" Atemu questioned
"No, if it was I could have used the puzzle's power on my own" Yugi answered.
"Hmmm..." Atemu mused when suddenly ther was a blast somwhere at the palace.
"What's going on?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know but whatever you do, don't leave this room" Atemu said sternly
"But!" Yugi said, his voice trailing off.
"If it's that dratted mage again, I won't let him lay a finger on you I swear I won't let you die" Atemu sworned and left the room
"Mou hitori nou boku no(my other self)" Yugi said thoughtlessly
One of Heishin's cohorts entered the palace again and this time it was a mage wearing a mask. She rendered the guards by summoning Vampire Genesis(3000 ATK). All the priests were now subduing the monster and still trying when the pharaoh arrived just in time.
"Who are you?" Atemu demanded.
"I'm High Mage Martis and I need to ask you a favor..." Martis hissed.
"If it's about the 'reincarnated pharaoh' forget it! he's not here" Seto declared
"You're lying!" Martis shouted hurling a blast of energy bolt towards Seto when Atemu summoned Dark Magician to reflect the attack.
"Grrrr... Vampire Genesis attack Suck the life out of the life of that Pharaoh" Martis growled.
"No you don't!" a familar voice rang out and suddenly Vampire Genesis' attack was suddenly stopped none other than Silent Swordsman Lv 7 plus the Magic Card Black Pendant to make it stronger.
"You finally showed up heh!" Martis grinned as Yugi suddenly came his strength just recovered very fast.
"Aibou!" Atemu gasped.
"I never thought you would show up so that it would easier for me to go for the kill well here goes! Vampire Genesis attack!" Martis said nastily but Yugi suddenly laugh.
"What the?" Martis gasped and at the same time the crown of the pharaoh glowed plus the Millennium Puzzle. Suddenly after the attack, Yugi's outside form has changed. His usually clothes changed into a black Egyptian garb and wore a red cape on his shouldersand as for the crown,it's wings extended to Yugi's bangs of his own hair and the Eye of Horus is as usual at the center. As for the pharaoh's crown, it vanished. Everyone stared at Yugi's new form.
"What in the world?" Martis gasped.
"I can't stand it anymore when someone dares to hurt my friendsand I have no choice but to heal back my full strength with the power of the pharaoh's crown now prepare to meet your demise!" Yugi declared.
"Oh my gosh! This power!" Mahaado exclaimed sensing Yugi's aura intensly.
"The power of 'something you can see but cannot be seen' " Atemu muttered.
"Martis, prepare yourself now.Silent Swordsman Lv 7 attack Vampire Genesis with Slashing Sword!" Yugi declared and Vampire Genesis was destroyed with a blast of light.
"No my monster!" Martis wailed in torment.
"Get out now before I let you devour with one of my monsters" Yugi said nastily as he summoned the Summoned Skull ready to fight.
"Ehhhh... I'll take my leave now but know this that our mages will be back" Martis declared as she teleported in a blink of light. At the same time, a portal appears out of nowhere from the throne room.
"What's that?" Manaasked
"It's a portal back to my time" Yugi stated ashis outside form dissipates.
"Aibou..." Atemu said sadly knowing what that means when Yugi noticesthe pharaoh's sadness.
"Don't worry about me Atemu... As long as I have your memories I will always rememberyou" Yugi said patting on the pharaoh's shoulder.
"Did you just call my name?'' Atemu asked. Yugi nodded
"Wait! take this" Atemu said as he removed his crown and give it to Yugi.
"But Atemu this is..." Yugi stuttered.
"Don't worry I havea feeling this crown will protect you at all times. I believe in you Yugi" Atemu said giving Yugi a thumbs up. Yugi nodded as the priests bade farewell to him as he enters the portal
