XXI. Reality Bites

Yugi tries to hold on with all his might while the portal of time passes through. Finally, he landed back on the Pharaoh's tomb feeling uneasy. The Ishtars noticed that their friend is back so they were glad to see him.

"Yugi, we've been worried about you so were you able to find out what you're looking for?" Ishizu asked now that she was glad.

"Yes and by the way how long have I been gone?" Yugi asked

"I don't know three or four days I think" Malik said, counting his fingers

"Uhhh.. right then" Yugi said, sweatdropping

"Miss Ishizu, Master Malik looks like the dark mist has entered the tomb we don't much time we have to leave now!" Rishid said, indicating a dark fog approaching at the sealed door.

"Okay would you mind fill me in what's going on while I left?" Yugi questioned.

"Well, while you were gone the dark mist suddenly spread so quickly that we have to seal the door of the Pharoah's tomb but now we have to get out of here" Malik explained

"Any ideas?" Yugi asked.

Ishizu looks around the tomb and tries to remember the secret passage while Yugi and the others tried to find their way out

Meanwhile backat Domino, Kaiba was busy working furiously at his laptop computer when Mokuba came in to his office, looking worried.

"Big brother you better take a look outside!" Mokuba exclaimed

"What for?" Kaiba asked solemnly when he looked at his office window and gasped. The dark mist was utterly spreading in Domino and people are beginning to become monsters themselves.

"Not another crap of those saving the world thing again" Kaiba moaned and at the same time one of his employees barged in acting weird all of a sudden and grabbed Mokuba on the neck.

"Big Brother help!" Mokuba yelled and Kaiba kicked his own employee rendered him unconcious.

"Are you alright?" Kaiba asked and Mokuba nodded

"What's happenning to the city, Big brother?" Mokuba asked

"I don't know but it looks like our employees seems to be affected and I have a feeling that whoever it is, that person wants to destroy my employees so that our company won't have any support" Kaiba answered as he puts on his Duel Disk and his deck.

"Big brother, are you...?" Mokuba wondered, knowing what's coming next

"It's always the Duel Monsters that has something to do this, Let's go Mokuba!" Kaiba declared and Mokuba agrees. "I swear I'll get that slimeball who's behind all this and kick his butt to the moonso that he won't know what's coming"he added as he left the Kaiba Corp. Building.

Back at the Pharoah's tomb, Ishizu just found the secret passage. Turns out that it was under the tomb all along and Yugi and others crawl themselves out. They breathed a sigh of relief but they are not out of the situation yet.

"What now, sister?" Malik asked

"There's only one option left, we have to go to Alexandria to see 'her'" Ishizu stated

"'Her'?" everyonewondered.

"Her name is Kristine Ethudel, she is one of my co-workers in Egyptian Archeology and also a biologist. She has many secrets that we, the tombkeepers don't have. I think she might help us of what is causing this darkness" Ishizu explained.

"When did you heard about this?" Yugi asked

"After you send the letter to me, she came to museum where the stone tablets were kept and told me many things that really shock me" Ishizu answered.

Flashback: Ishizu went to the Egyptian Museum to analyze Yugi's letter he sent when Kristine came.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything Miss Ishizu" Kristine said as she came in.

"Oh no, you didn't interrupt anything" Ishizu replied solemnly

"Well it seems that you're analyzing something, May I see it then" Kristine said as Ishizu gave her the letter. She read it a few seconds and suddenly fear and wonderment spread her face.

"What's wrong?" Ishizu asked seeing her co-worker's pale face

"I don't know what to say Miss Ishizu but if the 'darkness' have spread already, you must come to Alexandria as soon as possible" Kristine stated and she left.

"I see then we have no other choice then" Rishid stated and Ishizu agrees so everyone went to the jeep that was parked outside the tomb and they rode off to their destination.

At Alexandria, Egypt, a teenage woman with long black hair an she held the true form of the Millennium Rod which shone brightly. She wore an Egyptian garb also as she sees the dark mist.

"They're coming I knewyou would 'reincarnated pharoah' " Kristine said


spiritfire: In case you were wondering about Alexandria, it's actually a part of Egypt that was taken by Alexander the Great butpeople have rarely went therebecause it's a small country so I'm using itfor histoty's sake.
