ISHIZU'S/ SORT OF MALIK'S POV

Note. I have been notified that my made up language is difficult and hard to read. Therefore I will not be using it anymore.

Ishizu and Malik had already gone back to their Yacht, which was moored at the port of Donimo. (The city that Yugi and everyone lives in.) Malik paced around the deck, frowning and grumbling to himself. Ishizu watched him, doing nothing to stop his indecipherable rambling.

'We're too late. There was nothing we could do. It's up to the gods to decide their fates now. But why do I feel this sudden apprehension? Like something has broken free, and revels in it's chaotic power?' She put a finger on her chin, glancing up at the sky.

She shrieked, catching Malik's attention. He looked up, his hand coming up to cover his mouth.

Dark blood red clouds boiled angrily in the sky, circling around the yacht. Thunder rumbled in the sky as lightning flickered.

Ishizu turned, and pointed across the city. "Malik! Look my brother! The same force has surrounded the hospital! What is going on?!"

Malik glared up at the sky. "What?!" He shouted angrily. "We have done the best we could!" A streak of lightning ripped through the sky, silencing him.

A glow permeated through the fog that was now creeping around them. Malik glanced back at his sister, who now stood frozen to the spot, mouth agape. Her Millennium Tauk was glowing again.

Malik tried to take it off but it burned his hand. He hissed in pain and drew back, watching Ishizu with careful eyes.

(Ishizu's Vision.)

Ishizu was floating in nothingness, but yet she felt uneasy. Shapes whisked through the fog, but she could not tell what they were.

Bright gold fire flared to life in front of her, blinding her momentarily. She shook it off, and gazed at the flickering flame. A commanding voice sounded from the flame, completely holding her attention.

"Izhizu, the boy and his spirit friend are in danger. Bakura has somehow escaped our grasp. You must hurry and stop him. He has already entered the world of the past. If he is not stopped, the present as you know it will suffer repercussions. We as the trinity grant you access to this world. Use it wisely. Find the boy in the hospital. You will know what to do next. If you delay, th-"

It was then the voice stopped, as if interrupted. Ishizu reeled back as the flame turned blood red. A slithery voice sounded.

"Ishizuuu, you cannot sttooop ussss. We will persevereee through anything you throw at usss. We are the ssstalkerss in the night. We are the wwwhisssperss in the dark. We are your grrreatesst feeaaars. So wallow in yyyour ooown ussselesnesss. Dessspaiir Ishizuuu, fooor yooou brooought thiiss dooown upppon the wooorld yyyourssself. Ahahahahahahaha!"

Ishizu screamed as the flame enveloped her, burning her alive. Tired of all the visions, she broke through the illusion with her own willpower, and ripped the Tauk off, the hot metal scalding her fingers. It clattered on the deck, sizzling before returning to normal.

"I hate you!" She screeched hoarsely at the artifact. "Damn you! When will you stop tormenting me?" Malik grabbed her shoulders, staring her straight in the eyes.

"Breathe with me. You need to calm down." Ishizu stared at him blankly for a second, her vacant expression showing she didn't recognize him.

Suddenly her vision cleared. Malik came into focus in front of her, his eyes wide and filled with repressed nervousness. "Malik?" She whispered. He nodded. "Im right here Ishizu. Focus on breathing." Ishizu suddenly realized she was hyperventilating.

She closed her eyes, and breathed in and out, finally relaxing. She looked at her brother, expression hardening. "We need to go to the hospital immediately, but I'd rather not say why...it's...complicated."

Malik nodded. "I understand, let's hurry up and go then." He turned and dropped the ladder, letting her go down first, then following.

They held hands, and took off running, thunder rumbling once again.
