Chapter 2: Revolations: Return of the Millennium Rod
In the Medical Ward on Kaiba's blimp, medics worked to get Marik and Joey hooked up to the Heart Monitor, and placed the oxygen masks over the patients' faces. Serenity continued to sob in Tea's arms.
"Serenity, it'll be ok," Tea soothed, gently patting the redhead on the back.
"Joey… Please come back… Keep fighting big brother…" Serenity choked out between sobs.
From the belt around the unconscious Marik's waist, the Millennium Rod glowed faintly, its "Eye" turning to face Kaiba. At the same time, the Millennium Puzzle glowed from the long chain around Yami's neck.
"What's going on?" Yami asked. Suddenly, there was a glow that engulfed Yami, as the Millennium Rod jumped into Kaiba's hand and the glow swallowed him.
"Seto! What's going on big brother?!" Mokuba yelled. But as he tried to reach Kaiba, a hand reached out to grab his shoulder, and held him back.
"The power of Egypt is weaving its way, as it was meant to do so." Ishizu Ishtar spoke.
"What's going on?" Tristan asked as the glows intensified.
"Let go Seto!" Mokuba shouted to Kaiba.
"I… can't… let go of it…!" Suddenly, he was swallowed by light and couldn't see, as was Yami.
###
Screaming at the summit of their voices, Kaiba and Yami hurdled through what seemed a golden void.
'What's the deal with my Millennium Puzzle? The release of Marik from evil and something about Kaiba seems to have sparked something inside'
Suddenly, the two were hovering in the night sky over what appeared to be pyramids.
"It's some sort of ancient sovereignty," said Yami as he stared down unto the area.
"It's been completely destroyed!" Kaiba exclaimed.
'Something about this place seems really familiar to me, but what, and why?' Yami thought.
"Yugi! This looks like Egypt." Kaiba said, stunned. The two hovered where they were for a moment longer before they were teleported into a palace. Ther, they saw two figures standing steadfast, as though challenging each other.
"Look at the almighty Pharaoh now," said the figure on the left clad in blue robes. "How does it feel being virtually powerless?"
"Even in my darkest hour I shall defeat you." The Pharaoh stated, determined to live up to his word.
"Kaiba, these are the two ancient figures we saw on the stone tablet Ishizu showed us in the Museum!" Yami stated, suddenly realizing what they were supposed to be seeing.
"Don't be so ridiculous Yugi!" Kaiba snapped.
The blue-robed figure held up a hand, revealing the object he was holding: The Millennium Rod.
"I am here to finish our battle, and to prove no one can overpower me, or my Millennium Rod!"
"The Millennium Rod?" Kaiba was puzzled now. The figure looked like him, spoke with a voice like his… Wait a minute!
"Let's Duel!" The two ancients shouted in unison.
"Behold, my great pet," the sorcerer said as the stone rose up behind him. There was a flash of rainbow colored light, then the sound of a dragon's battle roar.
"The Blue-Eyes White Dragon!" Kaiba cried.
"Ah! But that means..." Yami gazed down to the red cape clad figure, the Pharaoh, leaving his sentence hanging in the air.
"Now, allow me to introduce my loyal servant. Appear to me now!" The stone tablet that lay behind the Pharaoh tilted into a standing position.
"That's the Dark Magician!" Yami exclaimed. "This is the ancient conflict Ishizu told us about."
Yami: 'According to Ishizu, these are ancient versions of us.'
Kaiba: 'This thing must be another one of Ishizu's mind tricks!'
Yami: 'Kaiba and I were destined to battle!'
Kaiba: 'I've seen enough!'
The two were overcome by light again, and suddenly they were panting on their knees in the Medical Ward of Kaiba's blimp.
"What… just happened…?" Kaiba huffed. Yami took a moment longer to catch his breath.
"We were just shown, the origins of our Destiny…"
"Whoa! You sure you're feeling all right Yugi?" Duke asked, as he and Tristan helped Yami to his feet.
"I'll see you at the top of my Duel Tower." Kaiba scoffed, then stalked off.
"To miss this duel, is to deny my destiny."
"Crush him!" Tristan cheereed, pumping his fist. With that, Yami walked off after Kaiba…
A/N: So, how was that chapter? Sorry if anyone thinks I should've done the vision some way besides Word-For-Word. Next, the RIGHT version of their duel in: "Clash in the Coliseum"
Cheers!
