This has been long overdue, for those of my fans that I still have I hope this was worth the wait, you see during the last few months I have searched for a long time for inspiration to redo this fiction and on YouTube I found just that in a video a friend of mine did. Her own animation was a spiritshipping but I had a great idea on how it could help the story.

After a little bit of thought I saw how I could press the envelope and make this story twice as long, twice as good, and twice as beautiful. So after a long absence I have returned after a long time of hiatus.

I do not own Yugi-oh GX or anything related to it.

Chapter 1: The Darkness stirs

"The world divided by two elements of light and Darkness all who seek out the dark shall perish and those who seek the light be saved. The masters of each element are in the guise of two humans both of the same blood as yin and yang were brothers of the elements they hold to power. One shall be a heart driven by pain and hatred of the ones who cursed him. The other shall be an innocent whose heart yearns not to fight but to protect the world he knows so well and even the darkness whom seeks to destroy him. The fate of the world lies with the Moonrose. Lest the earth and all who dwell upon it be consumed by the darkness and all life parish."

Cold stone grey eyes closed as he read the inscription on the wall under a mural of the two worlds clashing and of the figure he knew to be himself he placed a hand upon it and he sighed. He knew it was not proper to show weakness being what he was but still the story always burdened him so and he clenched his fist as he opened his eyes and they rested upon the figure in white robes opposite him in the picture and growled. These words were not only the spell of ruin for the demonic race but also the hope for the angels who lived just beyond the horizon past the wastelands. This was why the darkness sought to consume the light so that they may live forever more and under his hand the king would see to it the prince of those creatures would regret ever being born into this world.

Chazz stood in the entrance to the throne room, his cold blue grey eyes lingered on the figure at the other end. His stance suggested he was nervous and troubled but Chazz knew better than to suggest that of him. Those who crossed the king were usually handled in the most unspeakable of manners and he did not wish to push his luck with him. He was but a lowly Captain of the knights who swore his very life to their king and he did not wish to die by the king's hand, it would be a very dishonorable death indeed.

But ever aware the king finally rested his eyes on him and they were their normal cruel and cold stare of silent anger and composed rage. "You don't have to act so distant you know" Zane said softly as his hand extended out and his fingers beckoned him closer.

Chazz didn't hesitate as he entered the room and closed the door behind him, Zane wouldn't want prying eyes and minds to hear or see something they weren't meant to. Zane was never pleased to see others forget their place just for the sake of the gossip they could, and no doubt would spread and disloyalty would surely begin to form. Keeping his gaze locked upon Zane he advanced and the dark ruler's eyes narrowed and his smile turned somewhat twisted. But his eyes remained their usual cold and unfeeling gaze. Zane smiled and asked "Why so silent my loyal knight?"

Chazz knelt before him and his eyes looked down in light of the cursed statement, he knew to use his words carefully, for if he was careless who knows what could happen to him. Zane advanced towards him and laid cold fingers upon his collarbone caressing over his skin to which he suppressed a shiver. He gazed upon the dark on with calm and relaxed eyes. His dragon wings folder at his sides and his clothes clung to his heavily muscled chest. A leather collar clasped round his neck the other end falling to his side, the empty collar signified that the leader hadn't taken a soulstar into consideration. A soulstar is also the equivalent of a lover, they who are bound together through all trials and once connected can feel anything that their partner feels…but that also meant vulnerability on Zane's part. So he had never made a move towards the royal figure before him he never considered himself worthy enough to be his soulstar, let alone be in his presence alone. Even though like many others he had become quite fond of him as a king but also because of his desire to kill the light for their world. "So, have you come to deliver good news upon me Chazz? Has it been done as I asked?" Zane asked his hand resting on his loyal knight's cheek.

Chazz hesitated for a moment and then he said "Yes…it was done as you ordered…sir…" Zane seemed quite pleased with his words as he pulled away and he returned his gaze to the mural and said "If your word is true then the demons of our realm shall rejoice in this victory and you shall be praised and rewarded as the most powerful of our race and you shall even be considered…as my partner…in return for the deed that you have done."

"Yes, sir…I would be deeply honored to take a place at your right hand and be your soulstar…" Chazz said his gaze composed but in his mind he was still majorly afraid that the king would see through his composed face and see the truth behind his words and he knew that if he did that he would not keep him alive. "Tell me something Chazz, my loyal one…did he beg for you to end the pain…did he weep knowing he was to die at your sword?"

"He was like a crying child who knew he had done wrong but realized this too late to do anything for it…he was agonized over the pain he brought upon you…his dying breath spoke of how he wished for your mercy…" Chazz said unsurely.

"Yes…how did it feel…the blade cutting through his…beating…heart…?" Zane said looking to Chazz who hesitated and was at a loss and he was unsure how to answer. "Is he really dead my loyal one?"

Chazz shivered in fear, the dreaded question that could cost him his life or bring him closer to being Zane's right hand. Still he tried to pull one over on his master. "Yes, my king the deed has indeed been done, the prince has died a fitting death."

Zane looked deeply into his servant's eyes and they flashed amber for a fraction of a second before returning to their original stone grey. The truth was written in his eyes, he was lying to him it stained his soul deep purple with deceit and yet there was a swirling ring of blue within it that showed fear. Zane smiled revealing his demonic fangs and sweetly asked "Are you sure you aren't trying to conceal the truth from me?" Chazz kept still as Zane leaned in closer and let his fangs lightly graze against the skin on his neck. "N-n-no sir I am not trying to deceive you at all, I swear."

Zane laughed softly his hands caressing his arm and he repeated his last words "I swear." He looked his knight in the eyes and whispered melodiously "You have much to learn about being a demon Chazz. Demons do not swear to anything or anyone unless of higher power…and while you have done just that…"

Chazz trembled at the pause as Zane brought him to his feet. "Deception…is neither prudent nor wise when in my company."

His face turned grave as in a flash of movement he lunged for Chazz before he could react. He was pined helplessly against the wall Zane's hand clasped tightly around his throat. Zane had the upper hand and Chazz knew it, he was at his mercy. "You know, I am a forgiving king am I not? But when I give you a simple job you dare to fail me, then you have the audacity to walk into my palace and lie to me directly. Do you not realize that I can cut your throat now and simply be done with it?!"

His fist tightened and Chazz struggled to get out of Zane's iron grip but he was too strong for him to fend off. "P-please g-give me a-another c-c-chance" He managed to gasp out.

Zane's gaze did not lessen as he defined each word of his next statement "How-did-he-escape!?"

"It w-was a-a mistake he was n-not alone." Chazz tried to explain but Zane's hand clasped ever tighter. "Those idiots he calls knights were able to stop you. You may have outlived your usefulness Chazz." Zane said angrily.

"P-p-please…allow m-me a-nother c-chance." Chazz said with even more effort.

"Give you another chance?" Zane paused for a moment thoughtful of this and then he closed his eyes and said "Why not I'm not a complete demon. After all you still can be useful to me."

He released Chazz who fell to the floor gasping and coughing to catch his breath, while Zane turned away from him and called in a commanding voice "Atticus , my shadow controller rise to me"

In a cloak of darkness a figure dressed in complete black appeared before Zane and bowed deeply. "I am sorry my king to keep you waiting, what do you command of me?"

"I want you to travel to the kingdom of light and kill the prince of the angels, he is the key to the world's fate and we must eliminate him so the darkness can thrive again on this earth and demons will rule over all. And I will control the entire world!"

Atticus smiled evilly and nodded. "A simple matter. Consider it done, as your bounty hunter a task such as this to my liking very much and if you don't mind I will take my time enjoying his struggles."

"I see, a fitting end for a heartless creature like him indeed…but do not play with him too much…now go…"

Chazz had finally decided to speak out "Let me come too, I wish to redeem myself for my failure." Zane looked him over carefully and said "Very well, you will assist Atticus in his mission, but I warn you both…do not fail me now go."

Once alone again he looked to the far wall and approached a picture frame with his family picture within. Except a portion of the picture was torn off and his fist met with the wall be side the frame and his anger rose in him as he looked over his parent's faces and said on a low breath "Know this…for what you have done mercy is something I will not tolerate…you shall know the pain of having this burden of the dark on your shoulders as I have…"

His eyes narrowed and he closed his eyes and finally said "You will pay for living I swear to you by my sword you shall die for taking my soul and making me into this monster. The prince of the light will feel my revenge."
