Chapter Two
(The Domino Museum, The Alter Room)
The ritual took about an hour. The ritual had to be done right and nothing could go wrong. Ishizu and Shadi lead Yugi, Ryou, Malik and Kaiba into the alter room. The room had been set up before hand. All that was needed was the host of the Yamis. Ishizu lit the candles and placed the hosts into their proper places she left to join Shadi to start the chant.
The ritual words were said, "Ra, listen to our pleas, those who are trapped need to be undone, please allow them to live among us. Please allow their souls to leave their host and live once more." Once the words were said in Ancient Egyptian a cloud of purple-black smoke entered the room. It surrounded the hosts' bodies and cocooned then. Once the cloud left, eight lied where four stood. The ritual had worked; the Yamis now had their own bodies.
(The Lobby)
As the ritual was going on Joey had a feeling of dread, he was afraid to be alone anymore, since his father use to use him as a punching bag. All he wanted was his friends and Seto and he would be fine. As fear took over he started too paced in the room hoping that would help calm his nerves. That worked for a while until a cloud of purple-black smoked enveloped him then all went black as something entered him from within the cloud.
(The Alter Room)
Ishizu had left the room and came back into the rooms with robes seeing that the Yamis were naked and a little confused about having their own bodies. Yami looked around to see those he knew from Egypt and when his eyes laid on Bakura anger filled him knowing what he had done in the past. He was glad to see his cousin Seth and he only knew Marik from the Battle City duels ad he didn't like he as well.
Yugi looked at Yami and spoke to him through their link that they still had,
/Yami please behave, I know that you don't like Bakura or Marik but they have changed now so please give them a chance/
//Yugi I'll try but I don't know if I can. You don't know what Bakura did in the past//
/He is different now, through Ryou he has changed so please just give him a chance/
//I will//
After that conversation there was a scream and someone tackled Bakura to the ground trying to kill him and Ryou was trying to save his own Yami.
"He must die." Seth screamed. Kaiba tried to pull Seth off Bakura. Marik tried to join the fight but Malik held him back. Ishizu and Shadi looked at each other trying to figure out what was going on.
Yami yelled at his cousin, "Seth get off him, this is not the past anymore now release Bakura."
"He must pay for what he did, you know that. He must die for his death it is our law for one who kills now let's take him to the dungeon."
"Seth that is the past, it has been 5000 years he is not who he thinks he is. Let him go now." Yami said as he walked over to his cousin. He motioned for Kaiba to take a step back. He pulled his cousin off Bakura and made him look at him. "I know what happened and why you want him dead but that was the past so let it go."
"Easy for you to say but the one you loved did not die in your arms now did he? No he was re-born for you to find again." He said pointing at Yugi. Then it donned on him if he was born again then Jonas would be too. He looked around the room but did not see him. Where was Jonas? He looked at his cousin in the eyes and tears fell from his face.
/\ Where is he?\/ Seth thought to himself, he didn't know that he had a link to Kaiba and neither did Kaiba.
\Who said that?\ Seto thought
/\ I did who are you and why are you in my mind?\/
\You tell me. Your voice was in my head.\
Seth looked up and saw Seto "You heard what I thought, why?"
"He is your light and you are his dark." Ishizu said, "That is why he can he your thoughts. You have much to learn since you were trapped in the rod and no host to link to. I will help you."
"As will I" Yami said standing behind his cousin.
"If I am here were is he?" Seth asked hoping that Jonas was somewhere by.
"Where's who?" Yami asked.
"Atem, I want to know where Jonas my love is, the one that he poisoned!" He yelled pointing to Bakura.
"What did I do?" Bakura asked, not really remembering his past, only that his village was destroyed, hating the Pharaoh and then wanting power of the Millennium items but that changed when he fell in love with Ryou.
"Seth, listen to me Jonas is not here, he did not have a host he died before we could link his soul to an item. I know that you are upset but taking it out on Bakura will not help he is not that person anymore." Yami said trying to calm the situation down.
"He was linked I linked his soul to mine so when he reincarnated so would I. If I am here he should be here as well. Now where is he?" Seth was mad that he was not getting anywhere.
"If you linked his soul to yours and you have arisen where is his soul?" Ishizu asked.
"If his soul did come back from the afterlife his soul would need a host and we would feel his present in this room so his soul would need another vessel.
"Joey. We left him in the Lobby, on your orders and if anything had happen to him I'll make you pay." Seto said to Shadi as he run out of the alter room and headed to the lobby.
(The Lobby)
Joey got off the floor, he felt lightheaded so he sat on the bench not knowing what happen to him. He tried to remember all he could remember was that Seto and the others went into the Alter room for the ritual.
Seto ran out of the Alter Room and headed for the lobby, there he saw Joey setting on the bench. Joey looked a little pale but that was it. Seto stopped in front of Joey to catch his breath.
"Seto, are you okay? Did something go wrong during the ritual?" Joey asked in a hushed voice. Seto looked up at Joey because he only used his hushed voice when he was scared.
"No, I just needed to see you. The Yamis can drive one to drink. I also wanted to know if you are okay. That's all." Joey nodded that he was okay then they both heard the stampede of the others running to find Seto and Joey.
(Scene Change: The Alter Room)
Ryou and Malik thought it would be best to stay back with their Yamis and not wanting to cause anymore fighting. Knowing that in the past Bakura killed Jonas, Joey's past self and that Marik when he was under the spell of evil tried to get Joey to kill his best friend through mind control. The two lights wanted to see if Joey was okay but their love for their Yamis kept them back.
!!Go and see how Joey is. Bakura and I will head home and you and Ryou can meet up with us later.!!
! Marik are you sure. We can see Joey later why don't we go home first. Then we can go and see him later !
"No, his is your friend you have the right to see if he is alright." Marik said aloud allowing Bakura and Ryou to know what he and Malik were talking about.
"What is going on?" Ryou asked still a little out of the loop.
"Marik said that we should go check on Joey and he and Bakura will meet up with us later at home. I think that we should go home first and check on Joey later but he won't have it" Malik said.
"I agree with Marik you two should go and see that Joey is okay." Bakura said. He really didn't care to be with people calling him a murderer when he couldn't remember doing such an act. He would rather listen to one of Yami rants about being the Pharaoh the being called a killer.
#Okay we are going to go see Joey and you two are coming as well and don't say no because we have you both wrapped around are little fingers so just do as we say#
$Ryou just go and we'll meet up later$
"Will you grow a pair and just come with me and Malik. Yes Joey is our friend and you are ourYamis so if they don't like it then we'll leave now move your asses because you don't want to see me mad." Ryou said making the other three gasp because Ryou had never said anything like he did. After the shock of Ryou's words Malik agreed with Ryou and the two of them walked out with their Yamis.
(Scene Change: The Lobby)
Joey couldn't stop looking at Seto and Seth because they looked alike except that Seth had a tan. He was shocked that they looked so alike but Seth scared him. He looked at him as if Seth out pounce on him and drag him and do things to him that he only allowed Seto to do. He moved closer to Seto. Seto watched Joey's body language and he wrapped his arm around Joey and drew Joey closers to him.
"Hey Yugi where did Ryou and Malik go, they haven't come out of the Alter Room are you sure that everything went okay. I men shouldn't they be here with you?" Joey asked. He felt his heartbeat race but didn't know why he felt so scared.
"Joey are you okay you look real pale?" Yugi asked. He never saw Joey this scared and pale before in his life.
When Yugi asked the question Ryou and Malik with their Yamis joined the group. Joey looked real pale and clammy like he was about to pass out. Seth looked at Joey then to Bakura and yelled "What did you do to him. He was fine until you came into the room. What the hell did you do?" Seth tried to leap at Bakura but Seto grabbed his arm.
"Shut up. Bakura did nothing; Joey is having a panic attack okay. He has them when he's scared and leaving him for more then an hour and all his friends not showing up just scared him. Once he gets some air he'll be fine. Now I want you to stop yelling at Bakura he did nothing to Joey and if he did I would be the one to take him out not you, you have no claim to Joey because he is not your lost love got it." Seto then helped Joey sit down and bend his head down so Joey would calm down.
"Sorry we didn't mean any harm at all." Ryou said. He didn't talk anymore because he was on the verge of crying. Bakura kept his mouth shut for his light's sake but he so wanted to beat the crap out of Seth so much.
"It's okay Ryou," Joey said, still bent over. "Why did you stay behind with Malik?" He asked.
"It was Bakura and mine idea. We know that Seth hates Bakura for the past and that Yami and I don't see eye to eye since what happen during Battle City, we told Ryou and Malik to check on you but they didn't want to leave us, so they made a stand and made us follow them in here that's why we are late." Marik said
"Oh, well like Seto said Seth has no say in who my friends are and I have forgiven you for Battle City Marik and if Yami can't that his own problem so if you want to see me just call first and then I'll let you know when I can meet you okay." Joey said. He was now setting up but he still looked pale.
"What happen at this Battle City?" Seth asked.
"Nothing." Seto told him.
"Something did happen now you tell me what happen to Jonas now or there will be hell to pay." Seth was getting irritated with this light of his.
"He isn't Jonas and never will be Jonas is dead like you should be. He isn't coming back so lay off because Joey will never be Jonas do you get that." Before he knew it Seth has thrown a punch and knocked Seto out. Joey got up and tried to wake Seto up.
"Seto wake up please. Why did you hit him? Seto please wake up." Joey sobbed before his eyes rolled up inside his head and passed out.
Yugi and Yami ran to his side and in about a minute Joey came to as did Seto. He crawled over to Joey to see if he was okay and he had the shock of his life.
"That's not Joey, where in the hell happen to him?" Seto yelled. He got off the floor and took a step back.
"Kaiba what is your problem?" Bakura asked
"I looked into his eyes and Joey isn't there I don't know how to explain it but he isn't Joey." Seto said. He was near tears knowing that Joey might be gone.
Yugi looked at Yami then down to Joey, to them he looked the same. "Joey are you okay?" Yami asked.
Joey looked confused for a second, "Pharaoh have you hit your head and you forgot that you are not suppose to talk to slaves if your father finds out You'll be in trouble with both your father and Seth because you know that your father will whip me and Seth then will take it out of your hide now leave before the guards see you talking with me."
Yugi eyes got wide; Joey never called Yami Pharaoh so he knew something was off.
Yami looked into Joey's eyes and he now saw what Seto saw and it was true this wasn't Joey but he knew who it was but it couldn't be he then called the person inside of Joey by name, "Jonas is that you?"
The whole room went silent just for a second, "Yes, Pharaoh it's me, now leave before the guards see you with me." After that Joey's body started to fall to the ground and Seto caught him. When his eyes opened Seto saw Joey was back.
"Seto, something is wrong, there is someone else in my head and he is so strong please help me." With that he passed out and was out. Seto called for his limo.
"Yami take Seth with you I don't want him near Joey. You, Shadi I want you it fix this and I mean now. I don't care what you have to do just get that Jonas person out of Joey." He started to leave with Joey cradle in his arms.
"NO! Jonas must live I need him please let him live again." Seth sobbed.
"No way, he is a spirit that should have been in the afterlife but you couldn't let him go now he is stuck in Joey's head and if anything happens to Joey because of this I will enjoy ripping you apart limb from limb. I also meant it when I said you have no contact with Joey he isn't yours and soon Jonas will be gone and I hope with that you disappear as well." He left the museum and got in his limo and took off towards the hospital to get Joey check out. As the limo sped off into the night, Seto and Seth both cried because the one they loved was in danger and neither of them knew how to help the one they loved.
Next Chapter: The fight for Joey's sanity and life takes off as Jonas tries to take hold of his life and his host's body.
