I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!


The cargo door for the plane opened.

"I've activated the auto-pilot. So let's do this!"

"I love this part of the job!" Valon shouted. "Hold on tight Mix!"

"Remind me again why I can't have my own bike…or ride with one of you two?" She asked Rafael and Alister.

"You're too young…"
"Seriously?" She replied raising an eyebrow. Too young?

She collected souls as an occupation. And she was too young for a bike of her own?

"Yeah Mixie! You're too young…you won't fit on Rafael's because he's so big and I doubt you want to ride with Alister…"
"I heard that." The red-head replied.

"I get ya point…but I still want a bike."

"We'll think about it." Rafael replied.

Translation: no fucking way in holy hell.

Thanks boys; way to make a girl feel special.

They rolled out backwards out of the plane and hit the dirt seconds later revving their engines and speeding up.

"Last one there got to polish our boots! Hold on Mixie!"

He sped up even more and she clung to his back.

"Give it a rest Valon!" Alister shouted as their bikes zoomed up the ancient stone steps making for a bumpy ride….

Inside they lined up in front of their superior.

"We've located the Pharaoh Master. Unfortunately we weren't able to capture his soul."
"I didn't expect you to defeat him this soon. We've just only just begun."

"But you know me Master; I never come back empty handed." Rafael promised and revealed to him the three Egyptian God Cards.

"Excellent. The Egyptian Gods…at long last I've waited an eternity to hold their power in my hands."

They started to glow.

"I finally possess the extreme force necessary to awaken the Great Beast. Soon we shall rid the earth of man kind and rebuild civilisation as it once was….." He began to pray. "Serpents of the Orichalcos please hear my call; I offer thee the Gods of Egypt, use their divine might to unlock the scared chamber of the Great Beast…awaken him fro his ancient slumber by accepting my offering!"

He had placed the cards in a serpent's mouth before calling upon the Serpents and a bright burst of coloured light shot up creating an aurora in the sky.

"The time has arrived my friends. Finally after ten thousand years the Great Leviathan shall rise again!"

Mixie watched arms folded on the right of Valon as their Master sacrificed the God Cards.

She flinched lightly as he did so; why she wasn't even sure….

"Now Great Leviathan show them what true power is all about!"
But mere minutes later….what he had released were destroyed and a flood of red light filled the room causing their Master to grimace and take a step back.

"No…this isn't possible."

The group shared looks.

What was happening…?

"Leave." Their Master said.

"Master?"
"I said leave. You're dismissed. Leave and await instruction!" His voice was angry…this was an order.

They nodded bowed and left.

"What was that?" Valon asked.

"The Pharaoh bit back…" Mixie stated walking beside him. "How…I'm still not really sure…"

-NEXT DAY-

"…And when you master it you'll realise that we need more then just the Pharaoh's soul!" They walked in mid-rant.

"Then we'll take care of the others too." Alister promised. "I'll take Kaiba!"
"I got my eye on someone too! That feisty little bloke Joey Wheeler!" Valon said. "Ha! He should be one to take apart!"

"I know why you're after Wheeler." Alister stated.

"We all know why he's after Wheeler." Mixie stated shaking her head.

"Mind your own business both of you! And you Alister! What's your all of a sudden interest in Kaiba?"
"Look…I have my reasons Valon."

"Really?"

"Knock it off we're in the presence of Master Dartz!" Rafael ordered and they huffed.

"The Pharaoh and his friends are on their way to speak with the one we've been watching just make certain that you reach him before they do."
"Pegasus?"

"And to think…I called you a bad listener." Dartz said dryly to Rafael.

"Now go see Pegasus at once!"

They knelt and nodded before being dismissed to do their duty.

"You right there Mixie? Worried you won't get to duel? Don't worry you'll find someone!" Valon grinned.

"I know….I'm just…tired."

He nodded. "Well we better get suited up if we're going to San Francisco….Alister's not going with us from what I've heard. Ya can sleep on the plane."

"Yeah whatever. Give me fifteen yeah?"

"Right I'll come get you." And they parted ways.

Her room was small and rather bare without any trace of who lived there.

Expect for one thing.

A soft scarf that was once vibrant and bright with its red, purple and blue colours but after years of abuse from the sun and other elements it was now worn and the colours dull.

It hung on the wall. A memorabilia of a better time. A time that had long past.

She sighed. No point reliving that.

She sat on her bed for a second and closed her eyes briefly.

"Oh man….why did I even bother coming back in here. Everything I need's on the plane….." So she just sat in her pathetic excuse for a bedroom until Valon knocked.

"You coming?"

"Funny how you act like I've got a choice in the matter."

"Someone's cranky."
"I'm tired….sue me…"
They past Alister as they left.

She smiled weakly but he didn't react.

His eyes were focused….and angry.

Rafael's weren't much different and Valon had something else swimming in them….a deep hurt.

Mixie sometimes found herself staring into a mirror praying her eyes wouldn't end up like that.

But….would she notice if they did?

Have they already?

Heck she didn't know.

The girl shook her head and got on the back of Valon's bike who started it up and followed Rafael as they drove it up into the back of the plane.

As usual the flight was long and she didn't get much sleep.

But when she finally drifted off it seemed she only had for a few minutes before she was awoken by something shaking her shoulder.

"Get up Mix! We gotta drive!" Valon stated rather loudly.

"Oh shut up…five more minutes…"
"Mixie…get. Up." Rafael ordered and she opened one eye.

"Fine…jerk."
"What was that?"
"Absolutely nothing." She smiled placing on her helmet and getting up on her usual spot on the back of the yellow bike.

Like they usually did they drove out backwards out of the bike hitting the dirt quicker then usual finding a nice cliff over-looking the abandoned gas station where the Pharaoh and his friends were set to stop and be ambushed.

And it worked; the bikers arrived on schedule and the Pharaoh's friends along with the Pharaoh himself were forced to run.

"Great….the Pharaoh and his friends are ours." Rafael smirked.

"Right they'll never out run our choppers." Valon agreed.

"It's just a matter of time." Mixie said.

Their targets were forced into a circle as the bikers surrounded them taking out metal pipes….

And as one was about to attack them.

Slash.

A card came out of nowhere catching the biker; knocking him over and out.

And then a new bike came into sight….a dark reddish pink one.

All three soul collectors' eyes went wide and Valon gave a little gasp.

She defeated all of the 'choppers' as Valon put it and collected the card she had used to make herself known from Joey who'd picked it up.

Thanks to an on-fire bike that had landed next to the gas pump after the driver of the red-pink bike had knocked over the bike's owner….the gas station blew up.

Just as the Pharaoh and his friends drove off in the limo they arrived in.

"Someone out there likes to crash parties….lets find out whom." Rafael said before starting his bike and driving away.

'I already know…and I know just where she's going too…' The Australian thought but jerked out of his thoughts as a cool tanned hand touched his arm.

"Valon…?" She asked slowly and cautiously.

He looked down.

She knew too.

"Let's just go."
"Valon are…."
"Mixie I said lets go!" This was an order.

She nodded slowly and joined in on the bike as he took off.

They speeded into the centre of San Francisco and into Industrial Illusions HQ.

Valon was right. Mai was there.

And so were the Pharaoh and his friends.

Mai revealed the card that had Pegasus' trapped soul into it.

That both shocked and angered the entire group.

Especially Joey. "Listen you better start talking!" He ordered.

"Or else what."

They looked up.

"What's the matter Wheeler? Did your little reunion with Mai not go as well as you expected it too?" Valon taunted. "And you! Why are you keeping these guys all to yourself Mai? Why don't you show some manners and share the fun with us?"

"Mind your own business you lackey! These geeks are mine so deal with it!"

"Geeks? But….we're your friends Mai." Joey said. "Please Mai! Tell me this is all a joke! You're on our side remember?" He shouted.

"I was never apart of your little play-group and now I'm going to break you apart one by one and Wheeler…I'm starting with you!"

He sighed. "Fine."

"It's payback time and it all starts…." She drew her first card. "Now…! And to think…I was once pathetic enough to call you my friend. But now I know the truth! You were holding me back from true power! So say hello to my real friend…The Seal of Orichalcos!"

Mixie blinked twice.

Now things really get ugly….


Thanks for reading everyone and I'll see ya soon!
