XXXII. Unseen Future

Meanwhile in the Afterlife, Isis felt Malik's pain all over. Although she doesn't know him, she felt pity as well.

"Malik…judging from his current state he'll lose this fight" Atemu noted when Isis pressed her fingertips on her Millennium item

"Isis, what are you doing?" he asked

"Pharaoh, I don't know but I want to help him though I may be weak. I wish to protect him from Schemeton's powers. I can sense that's he's suffering right now and whatever method he used must have taken its toll" Isis said sadly, concern was on her face.

"It's no surprise that she looks like Malik's sister and her concern to help" Atemu thought

"Do you have an idea to repel Schemeton's powers?" Atemu asked smugly

"Only one, if he uses the necklace's power to predict the seen future then the only way is to use the power of my Millennium Necklace and make him seen the unssen" Isis grinned

"It's all or nothing then!" Atemu said giving encouragement to Isis and she began her concentration and focus on her item

Back at the Shadow Realm, Malik wiped the blood on his mouth and began to stand up. He stared angrily at his opponent then his thoughts went away for himself. Suddenly, he heard a voice, something very familiar yet very comfortable.

"Here, here, come to me" said a sweet voice from Malik's head

"Huh? What?" Malik wondered

"Close your eyes and you will see me" the voice spoke solemnly. So Malik closed his eyes and from what he seen, everything was dark until something or someone came.

Please reach you, Northern lights

"Uh… sister?... no wait who are you?" Malik said groggily as Isis came to him

"My name is Isis and I was quite surprised that you called me sister" Isis grinned at him

"I…" Malik said and was about to say his name when Isis raised her hand.

"There's no need to tell me who you are, I already know who you are: your name is Malik Ishtar, one of the tombkeepers who guards the pharaoh's tomb with your sister I might add. She does a lot look like me" Isis stated then images of Malik's mind began to appear from his past and present. He felt bad and ashamed

Two souls torn apart

Feelings of nowhere to go strangle my heart

Why did we meet this day?


The way to ask this question

Vanishes into clear shadow

"What's wrong?" Isis asked

"To tell you the truth, my past is still haunting me even though I tried to put it behind but was it really my future or my destiny to be stained" Malik said sadly

"Sometimes the past of a person is inevitable. No one knows for sure on how they end it. But it is not just for you to suffer" Isis said in a matter-of -fact tone

"Inevitable… I couldn't say much about that. I hated it and so is my destiny!" Malik growled

"Then what is destiny? Destiny is useless if you kept clinging on it. I only believe in change because it can make something impossible" Isis said seriously

"Change… huh" Malik muttered

"A person who clings to his/her destiny will have no future. Change is the only option they all have" Isis added.

No need to waver

Though without any strength

You can find answers that you've looking for

After you've moved on

"Future…unseen destiny" Malik thought then realization struck him

"Isis, isn't there a way to change the path of a person who walked through their life. If the past doesn't matter then can I still find my unseen future or maybe my destiny" Malik pleaded

Love, sin, dreams, and darkness

Wear all of them now. And

At the moment when

Your power and my heart overlap,

Something will be born

Do you believe in destiny?

"Why do you think I'm here for?' Isis smiles at him

"You mean…" Malik's eyes widened and Isis nodded then suddenly the dark mind ends

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you sleeping or something? Come on, it's still your turn" Schemeton shouted and Malik's eyes opened

"Was that a dream?" Malik asked himself then out of nowhere from his mind, an image suddenly etched on it. It was a green border with a lightning strike on it.

"What's this?" he asked himself. "Should I trust this?" he added then Malik saw something incredible, Uria was destroyed by that lightning he saw.

"Right, I think I recognized this, I should trust this one" Malik said and he picked one of his hand cards.

"I activate the Magic Card: Raigeki to destroy all your monsters on the field" Malik declared and a big lightning destroyed Schemeton's monster. Everyone gasped as Uria was destroyed

"So much for the dark side of Osiris, it's not even a divine monster to begin with you dumbass and yet it was destroyed by one of the powerful magic cards in Duel Monsters" Malik smirked

"Alright, way to go" Jounouchi cheered

"How did you know? I didn't predict that you would use Raigeki to destroy my monsters" Schemeton screeched

"I have my instincts and intuition on top of that" Malik replied smugly

"Did Malik knew that Uria would be affected by destructive cards like Raigeki?" Yugi asked

"Hmm…it looks like he did but judging from that … of course, he did it": Kaiba mused

"Did what?" Kristine asked

"He seen the unseen future with his own hands" Kaiba replied and smirking as well

Light-green illusion

Surrounds this planet's softly

"Are you going to follow the same destiny?"

Singing voices sounds

From far, far away

"Now I set 2 cards face down and a monster in defense positon. End turn" Malik said

"It's my turn draw!" Schemeton declared and discards due to Helpoemer's effect. Suddenly, Malik's trap card, Coffin Seller kicked in reducing his life points to 4700. "I activate the Magic Card: Premature Burial to resurrect the monster I discarded due to your Helpoemer's effect. Come out, Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness (2100 ATK 1200 DEF) as a whale monster emerged from the waters armed with missiles. Also, his life points went down to 3900 due to Premature Burial's effect.

"Why would you bring that monster? You could have used this card to revive Uria" Malik exclaimed.

"True but since you were able to change the future I guess I can give credit for that but note this: I can revive Uria any time" Schemeton said while Malik stares daggers at him.

"Next, I summon Torpedo Fish (1000 ATK 1000 DEF) in attack mode" he added and a torpedo like fish appeared

"I'm not that stupid I know your facedown monster is Newdoria if so I better destroy I before you could use it" Schemeton said grimly

"I'll activate Orca's effect by offering Torpedo Fish as a Tribute, I can destroy I monster on the field namely your monster" Schemeton declared and Torpedo Fish disappeared and blasted Malik's facedown monster to smithereens

"In the name of Anubis, die! Orca, direct attack to the player Mega Missile launch" Schemeton hissed as his monster fired a missile on him

"Malik…no!" everyone gasped as Orca's attack hit him.

"Hehehehe! Hahahaha!" Malik laughed nastily

"Wha-What the?" Schemeton gasped. The others were very curious what happened. To their surprise, Malik's still in the game.

"I activated my trap card: Nutrient Z: I can only activate this card when battle damage of

my opponent is 2000 points higher. It can raised my life points by 4000 before damage calculation" Malik explained

"That means his life points went up to 5500 then it was reduced by 2100 so he still has 3400 life points. Great!" Mai said excitedly

"You son of a devil" Schemeton screeched

'Well you're a slimebucket" Malik taunted back

It's too early

To give up

Let's entrust your hope on

Folding lights

"End turn!" Schemeton gritted

The stats goes like this: Schemeton now has 3900 life points, 3 cards in hand, an active field magic cards: A legendary Ocean, and Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness in attack mode while Malik has 3400 life points, 2 cards in hand, the 2 continuous cards: Dark Room of Nightmare and Coffin Seller.

"It's my turn now draw!" Malik declared.

"I'll show you the horror of being a tombkeeper, I activate my facedown Trap card: The First Sarcophagus!" he said grimly and a stone casket resembling an Egyptian Coffin appeared

""What the hell is that thing?" Schemeton asked, dumbfounded

"Hehehe, During the End Phase of your turn, as long as this card is on the field, I'll be able to bring another Sarcophagus card from my hand or my deck. When all 3 of them are on the field it'll be over" Malik said suddenly went insane

"Oh boy, he got demented. This is bad" Yugi and Jounouchi sighed

"Okay.. now you're mad" Schemeton whispered hoping he did not hear him

"Then I activate the Magic Card: Nightmare Steel Cage to prevent your attack for 2 turns then I end my turn" Malik added, still insane

"My turn then draw!" Schemeton said and discards again due to Helpoemer's effect. Unfortunately for him it was a monster card so Coffin Seller's effect kicked in reducing his life points to 3600. "I'll shift my monster in defense and set a card down. End turn" He added

"Oh you end your turn well then, I call upon the Second Sarcophagus" Malik said and the casket opened another coffin

"My turn then, draw!" Malik said and he draws. "I activate the magic card: Pot of Avarice to bring back 5 cards from my graveyard after which I shuffled my deck and draw 2 cards from my deck." He added and so he chose his 5 cards and put it back on his deck, shuffled them and draws 2 cards giving him a total of 4 cards.

"Next, I activate the Magic Card: Card Destruction, both players must discard their entire hands and draw the same number." Malik said and so he discarded his 3 cards so did Schemeton.

"I'll end my turn for now" Malik sneered

"Damn, due to Nightmare Steel Cage's effect I can't attack so I have no choice but to use this" Schemeton growled

"I activate my facedown card Monster Reborn to revive Uria, Lord of Searing Flames in attack mode and I'll end my turn" Schemeton declared and so Nightmare Steel Cage disappears also the third Sarcophagus appeared.

"The circle is complete now I sacrifice all 3 of them to summon my mighty monster. Come out, Spirit of the Pharaoh (2500 ATK 2000 DEF)" Malik yelled and so the 3 sarcophagus vanished in a blink of light then suddenly a mystical monster appeared wrapped in bandages holding a staff.

And just feel silently now

Your dream which will come true sometime

Your decision. My hesitation

Believe in the way

That encounter indicates you

I live with facing my destiny

"Because he was successfully special summoned, I can Special Summon 4 level 2 or lower Zombie type monsters in my graveyard and specifically I summon 2 Pharaoh's Servant (900 ATK 0 DEF) and 2 Pharonic Protector (900 ATK 0 DEF) all in attack position" Malik added

And just feel silently now

Your dream which will come sometime

Your dream. My hesitation

Believe in the way

"And now time to die! Activate Magic Card: Raigeki well I DON'T need to tell you what it does" Malik said still demented

"What then that means that was the card that you brought back from the Pot of Avarice Magic Card" Schemeton gasped and as a result all his monsters were destroyed

"Wait! Don't be so hasty!" Schemeton panicked

Love, sin, dream and darkness

Wear all of them now. And

At the moment when

Your power and my heart will overlap

Something will be born

Do you believe in destiny?

"Too little, too late, All my monsters direct attack to the player" Malik said icily and Schemeton's life points went to zero. Malik thanks Isis in his head who disappears. In addition, the wall behind Schemeton began to crack. Apparently, he was right one thing, it was Yami Malik who was stuck on the wall

"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR MAKING ME STUCK ON THIS CRAPPY WALL!" Yami Malik shouted and he lunged Schemeton's neck chocking him to death. Also the shadows took his soul.

"Looks like it's over" Bakura noted

"Well, well, well I never thought I would visitors from the other side. This would be interesting" Yami Malik sneered noticing Malik and the others

spiritfire: The song I put is the translated song of Shaman King second starting song Northern Lights and I wonder what Yami Malik plans with the gang R & R soon
