Chapter four: legend of the dragons.

YAMISPOV…

We were all in the museum. Professor Hawkins had explained Anu to us who were still sitting in front of the tablet. He also said the monsters were linked to Yugi some how…we technically it was me but Yugi was known, I wasn't.

"Seeing these carvings, prove what I suspected all along Yugi. You share a common bond with a 5000 year old pharaoh. Do you know what this means"

I was kind of disturbed that everyone now seemed to know of my essences. "And did he know what this meant." I scoffed he had been my host for a year now; I think he knew what it meant. The Yugi spoke after my little rant.

"Yeah that my life more confusing than most kids"

I knew Yugi was right, that is life was hectic but that didn't make any easier knowing his life sucked cause of me.

"Yami, I used the word confusing, not suck. Difference you know. I like all the adventures"

It still didn't make me feel any better about it. But I listened to the professor in silence.

"Perhaps I can shed some more light on the subject I have spent the latter part of my career studying duel monsters. It started more than just a game."

I knew this already, Ishizu told me and Tea this when we saw her in the museum with the tablet. I realized the others didn't know this so I stopped ranting and listened curious as to where he was going with this.

"Egyptian sorcerers found away to seal real monsters within stone carvings then they would release these monsters to display there great power. As more monsters were collected the sorcerer's power grew stronger. Until eventually this shadow games spun out of control and threatened to destroy all life on earth. But one man was able to face this madness and turn the darkness to light. The great pharaoh whose power you carry around you neck"

I knew the others were shocked by the story, I wasn't really, I knew it already but I knew it still awed Yugi. He looked at the puzzle then asked

"What does that have to do with what's happening now? Did these ancient monsters come back or something?"

"I am afraid so" he said grimly "but there is another peace to this story you need to know. Ever hear of the lost city of Atlantis."

Tea said she had read a book on it once and Joey and Tristan called her a nerd but Yugi said what I was thinking

"The place where you said Anu was created"

The professor nodded and laughed at the two boys behind us.

"In my latest expedition I have discovered, well I may have discovered that very city, an underwater world which that existed long before ancient Egypt. But what really puzzled me were the carvings I saw on the walls, take a look"

He held out a couple of photos and Yugi took them in his hand.

The one on top looked strangely familiar.

"No way" said Yugi "duel monsters"

The professor continued with it tale while we looked at the pictures. This was so weird. Was Ishizu wrong when she said Egyptians created the shadow games? Could it really have been Atlantins? I sighed, if they could create a dog that hunted dark magic they could create shadow games.

"Precisely, so these monsters didn't originate 5000 years ago in Egypt, they lived 10000 years ago in what I believe is to be the legendary city of Atlantis."

Tea then asked in a shocked tone, Atlantis was real. Of course it was; if I am here I think Atlantis is real.

"Do you know what this means" asked grandpa "your discovery could completely rewrite history"

"There's still quite a bit I don't know"

To me the professor looked sad at this road block. Suddenly Yugi gasped and I turned to the second picture he was now holding. It was a city, with a wave about to wash over it. Rocks falling form the sky and a Giant purple hairy eye floating above the city.

"Look at this; it looks like the monsters are attacking the city"

"If you look at it a bit more closely you'll notice only some monsters are attacking the city."

Yugi looked at the picture a bit and noticed that he was right. I on the other had Tristan's head passed right through me. I shuttered.

"Your right, which means only some of these monsters, seemed to be evil, does that mean the other monsters are good."

"I haven't collected enough evidence to conform that but I believe there is a parallel word of monsters that exist along side our world and through out history certain humans have been able to release theses monsters and summon them to help man kind, others to destroy it"

Tristan had passed through me again to stand and now he was shuttering then he said

"Give me a break you nutty professor"

Then again right through me went Rebecca's foot that had kicked Tristan in the kneecap. Ouch. He jumped through me again in pain. "Why me, why do you have to pass through me." I moved over to stand next to Anu who was now watching Tristan jump around on one foot. He was yelling pain, Ouch.

"Good" said Rebecca "that's my grandfather your talking about you got that punk any one who messes with him messes with me so keep your comments to your self"

Tristan was now afraid of her, nice; I give my credits to Rebecca in a job well done.

"Don't worry" said the professor "I'm no stranger to ridicule besides it is a bit of a far fetched theory"

"But its true" yelled Rebecca.

I glanced at Anu who had lay on the floor and flattened her ears at the yelling.

"I believe ya professor" said Joey figures, Tristan mumbled "after all the weird stuff we've been through I would believe anything"

We were all watching him now and he clenched his fist then said

"Like the time I fought Marik in that shadow game, all those monster attacks felt pretty real to me. And did you forget the times both Mai and Bakura got blasted into the shadow realm; lets face it because there is plenty of stuff out there that I can't explain"

I nodded in proud ness at Joey's speech it was really moving then Yugi said.

"Like how there's a pharaoh living in my puzzle"

"Actually there are hypothesis suggest a supernatural phenomenon you experience may actually find its roots in Atlantis"

This was me they were talking about, but I didn't get a word of that, judging by there looks neither did any one else. Then Tristan said

"Whoa, those are some pretty big words, especially coming from some little kid"

Yes Tristan lets insult the girl who can kick you in the shin. Rebecca looks ready to explode. She yelled out

"A KID, I'M A COLLOGE STUDENT THANK YOU VERY MUCH"

Ok while every one stared in shock I had to admit I didn't see that coming.

"College student" five voices chorused

"My granddaughter is quite the gifted"

"Ph grandpa I'm just your average child geniuses"

Ok now I was annoyed, she was spelling the word I am shore only Tristan and Joey didn't know how to spell. She was about to yell at Joey when her grandpa continued.

"Now the point that I am trying to make is this, Egyptian sorcerers conquered these monsters 5000 years ago, the pharaoh was there to save mankind from destruction. Now it seems that pharaoh has been reborn in you, which could mean man kind needs his help again."

Yugi lowered his head and said

"Yeah but I wouldn't even know where to begin, professor, I mean do we try to get all these monsters to go back to their world or should we focus on finding out what those weird motorcycle gang is up to"

"Unfourtanly this is my knowledge to this situation ends."

Yugi then gasped and reached into his pocket

"Wait a sec I may have a clue"

He pulled out the blue glowing stone a held it to the professor.

"Ever see this before?

I glanced at Anu she was on her feet now her hair on ends and the glowing marks under her eyes were their. She was growling at the stone.

"What have you got there Yugi."

"Not sure, but the guys we dueled against last night left it behind"

Professor Hawkins picked it up and looked at it. Anu's growling got louder and every one looked at her

"I have not seen this before but it sure looks like your magic seeker has. Would you mind if I hold on to this"

"No of course not, besides Anu has been glaring at my pocket all day."

The professor was going to take it back to his lab and study it, what ever as long as we figured out this mess I didn't care."

We walked the professor out to a taxi waiting to take them to the air port. I glanced at the sun and saw it was sunset, how long were we in there. Every one was saying good byes so I turned back to watch them.

Yugi was being hugged by Rebecca; he was also red in the face. Rebecca then kissed him on the check and is whole face matched the tip of our hair. She got into the tax as Tea leaned over and I was kind of glad I couldn't see her face.

Once the taxi was gone Yugi talked to me with our mind link I could tell he was worried.

"Just when I thought things were getting back to normal they have gotten 10 more times weirder.

"Yes and this time the situation seems more treacheries than ever"

Suddenly the puzzle flashed twice and Anu came and sat in front of us her ears perked up. A voice called out

"Please help me"

Yugi gasped and looked around, Anu obviously heard as well but she was staring at the puzzle.

Joey asked if Yugi was alright and Yugi asked them if they heard someone call for help. Every one looked around and I also noticed do to Tristan's statement that no one was around. Made me uneasy.

"Come on, it's been an exhausting day"

I couldn't understand what the other words were because of a huge yawn he let out. They were having there own conversations now but Yugi was confused, he was sure he had heard that voice.

"I heard it to Yugi, and so did Anu, just go home, I am sure all will be reviled soon"

Yugi nodded and he and Anu ran to catch up with there friends.

ANUS POV…

I listen to the story the one man said, how he could know so much about me and Atlantis, maybe he did discover it, if that is the case he was lying that he didn't know what that stone was. Oh well as long as it was gone from the house I now guarded but, that voice my masters and I heard. It was Mana that I was sure of, but why would she be calling for help, she died years ago.

We were settling down for sleep. I lay at the foot of my master's bed awake just like he was. He was just staring at his ceiling thinking of today's events. The necklace was still around his neck.

Suddenly he sat up and I followed his line of vision. Sitting in the chair was a transparent version of him self. This must have been the other master I sensed sometimes. The one that was out during danger and lived in the necklace. He was answering something the spirit said

"Nope, all I can think about is what Professor Hawkins said"

He was looking at me now so I nudged his leg with my foot. He patted my head and said

"See, Anu is even still awake"

The spirit was talking again, I could see his lips moving but I could not here the sound coming out, I took a guess that he was also thinking about the story we heard today. About my birth place.

Suddenly I felt something very wrong. Like three voices calling out for help and then a dark voice silencing them. The gods I thought as I jumped up startling Yugi and the other master. Both looked at me as I looked around in blind panic. Where were they, what was this dark power, who could silence the gods. I jumped off the bed and looked out the window from behind the desk. I was trying to sense there power, they were fading.

I saw a light in the sky then it disappeared. I gave a howl in distress as the god's power was gone. I knew the two masters were alarmed but they did not know why I was distressed. The younger one clamed my moth shut and pulled me to the ground.

"Shhh, Anu, you'll wake grandpa"

The other one said something again and I trotted back to my spot on the bed. I lay there sad as I could no longer feel the god's presence. Yugi lay down and with one last look at me he was a sleep. I tried to sleep and just as I was almost gone, Yugi began shifting, there was a voice calling out. Mana. I sat up just as the puzzle glowed.

I was blinded and when I opened my eyes, Yugi was standing next to me looking around, I tried to sense darkness and I felt a small fleeing presence like it was running and it was familiar, the necklace that had burned me had the same energy. Yugi looked at me as I growled in the direction of the fleeing presence.

The other spirit was there two. "Anu what is it that you sense"

I would have ran after it but Mana's voice called out again for help

"Someone needs us" he said

"Yeah, but where are they and how did Anu get here"

They were both looking at me and I realized I was in my trued form. The fleeing presence was gone so I turned to them. They wanted to find Mana, I could sniff her out, and they would just have to tell me to.

I heard her voice so I took off in the direction again. "This way" the other master called following me. I could feel the fleeing presence again but I ignored it, trying to find Mana. I paused at a door and they pushed it open. No one. I was so confused because that dark presence, the magic coming form this maze and the voice of Mana were all jumbled together.

"Who ever it is could be all most any where"

He was right so I whimpered. The younger one placed a hand on my head and said

"It will be all right Anu."

She called out again. They were splitting up again. The other master told me to go with Yugi so I followed the younger boy. We looked every where. A couple of times I saw the dark presence and growled at it and it would run away but be back later. I so wanted to go after it. When we regrouped. Yugi told the other master that I would growl at something that wasn't there. Something only I could see, he shrugged and said he didn't know what it was but we had other things to worry about.

"How are you supposed to find any one in this place" Yugi yelled frustrated. I sneezed at the layer of dust on the floor. When was the last time this place had a good cleaning? Where was this place anyway? Suddenly there was a sound that was almost musical. We looked at one of the stairs and saw a brown hair ball.

"Its kuribo" the young one said

I pouted; I guess I couldn't take my anger out on it.

"What's he doing here?"

I eyed the thing; it was bouncing up and down on the stairs. It then hopped away. Oh no it didn't, it wasn't going to get away. I chased after it with the two masters following. The thing looked back at me and its eyes widen and began to hop faster. The masters were panting behind me so I slowed a bit.

We followed it to a door and I was gaining on it. It flew at the door. I got it now. It then turned into a light and shot through the key hole. I couldn't stop so I crashed into the silver door. The other master came up to me a chuckled

"You can't eat kuribo, Anu."

I snorted. Says him. The younger one came up behind him and said "this must be it"

The other master opened the door and we looked in. the other side was more white and with more hallways and corners but full of shadows, and did I mention everything was white.

"Never seen this room before"

So the younger one has been here. Nice.

"Nor have I so stay close by you two" also nice

I snorted, two people who have been here before who have never seen this room, real helpful. I saw a shadow run and Mana's voice asking if the pharaoh was in here, was the other master this pharaoh she was talking about.

"Follow the sound of my voice" she said

I needed no invitation I took off after the shadow and the FLUFF BALL. The two masters took off after me. Calling out to me, asking for me to wait up.

"This way" the young one said as I rounded a corner, wait no floor. I fell, the young master right behind me followed by the older master trying to grab him. They screamed a bit then asked what was happening. How the heck were we suppose to know. The darkness had become colors and we had slowed down but were still spinning. Then we hit a glowing blinding light.

We stopped falling…IN THE SKY WHAT THE HECK. We weren't falling but I was panicking, I liked when my feet touched solid ground. The other master grabbed on to my harness to keep my still.

"Where are we?"

"I don't know it appears to be some kind of kingdom.

I nodded then I heard a growl and we all looked up

"It seems we're not alone."

"Yeah and what ever it is, doesn't look to friendly."

I was staring at an eye, a golden black slit eye. No no no no no. it can't be, this is the great beast they were talking about, that stole the gods power. I started howl and bark at them hoping they could get away. The two masters were staring at me in a confused like way.

"What is it Anu" the younger one asked

"It appears she dose not like the thing over there, I think its best we trust her judgment"

Thank you pharaoh, I thought. Suddenly we glowed white and shot down to the castle. Inside the castle the younger one was in disbelief. There was an ice sculpture actually there were three, of frozen dragons. They seemed familiar but I didn't want to shift through my memories to find them so I stared to.

We were lowered to the ground while the two masters awed at the crystal dragons. I was sniffing the air, trying to find Mana. "You're here"

Behind us materialized into a woman who sounded like Mana, but it was her Ka but, she seemed to recognize me as she cried out my former name.

"Dahlia, pharaoh, Yugi. You're here"

Both my masters stared at me when I licked Mana's Ka's face.

"Your dark magician girl"

"Tell us why you were calling for help"

Mana put me down and said

"Pharaoh both our worlds are in danger and with out your help we will all cease to exist."

"Also how do you know Anu?"

She looked nerves then said "I think he will explain it much better"

There was another light then a man clad in purple appeared. I recognized him immediately as my old master even though he looked different. I ran to him as my other masters called out "Dark Magician" in shock.

He bent down to my level and pats me on the head

"Nice to see you again Dahlia, how have you been"

I barked and turned to my new masters. He nodded and bowed to them.

"like you pharaoh, I had a magic seeker choose me as a master when I wasn't fused with my Ka as I am no. 5000 years ago I had this same magic seeker, no two magic seekers look alike and Dahlia always had these same markings."

He tapped my markings then bowed to the pharaoh again, told me to be good then disappeared. I ran back to my two masters and sat in-between them. The ka of Mana continued.

"As long as man kind has walked the earth the dominion of the beast has existed side by side with the human world, we have lived this way for thousands of years. All though our worlds are separate we depend on one another in order to survive but, now something is threatening that survival and it must be stopped. A gate way between us has opened and now the great beast will swallow us all"

She looked sad and Yugi and the pharaoh were hanging off her every word. I whimpered and one of them absent mindedly patted my head. Mana continued.

"It lives above us in the sky feasting on life force of monsters and humans as it did in the past, we need you, all of us"

I looked around and saw more monsters, all sad looking and crest fallen, like we were there last hope.

"If this continues we will be gone for ever"

Now both masters were sad, they didn't want the creatures to die, neither did I.

"You three are our only hope"

Yes let's add to the pressure why don't we.

"We'll help" said the other master sadly

"Yeah, but how" the young one asked "what are we suppose to do to stop this giant monster"

She rose in the air and we floated a bit, not again I thought

"These three dragons once served as the protectors of our world, they defeated the great beast 10000 years ago when he first appeared for this they paid a price, now there frozen in time unable to defend my dominion as they did so long ago."

"But how can we help" the other master asked

We flew up higher, me being held on to by the other master. I hated flying.

"The legend states three brave warriors will awaken these dragons when they are needed again. Pharaoh I believe that one of theses warriors is you and if I'm correct you will be able to remove that sword from the ice"

Being the careful person the other master asked

"What will happen if you're wrong?"

"I'm not wrong" she said "I know that you once saved the Egypt from the shadow games and I believe you can do the same for us."

"Ready Yugi" he asked

I barked in encouragement and they smiled at me. They both reached for the sword and began to pull on its handle. The thing moved and there was a blinding light as it was removed from the creature's eye. They pulled one last time, crashed into me and we all went flying back. The sword fell and we stared at the dragon, still incased in ice.

"Ok" Yugi said "did it work or not"

Suddenly the statue was cracking. Thousands of cracks covered the ice.

"Guess so" the young one said answering his own question.

The ice broke and a green dragon roared at us. I stared at it. It looked so familiar.

"You have unleashed Timaus, now according to the prophecy you and Timaus will become linked together as soon as you call his name.

"Well here it goes" the young one said.

"TIMAUS" they both cried out.

The dragon rose and roared again sending out shock waves.

"Its working" Mana said. "Now join forces"

They held out there hands as the shock waves began to become infused with there body.

"I can feel its power surging through me"

I knew they were going to be over whelmed soon; a dragon's power was great, especially if it was once a knight of Atlantis. That's how I knew him, he apposed the great beast 10000 years ago but then he was human.

There was a blinding light and suddenly I felt soft fabric under me. I opened my eyes and saw I was back in husky form. Suddenly Yugi shot up next to me panting. There was a bright colorful glow coming from his window in the ceiling.

"Is it morning already"

He got up and looked out the window. I followed him and stretched out on the floor; suddenly I felt a dark presence and looked up just as Yugi said it wasn't the sun. I saw monsters like from the other world in the big lights in the sky and so did Yugi. He got dressed grabbed his duel disk and deck and we both ran out the door.

"Grandpa what's going on?"

"The monsters appear to be trapped in that light"

I wasn't really paying attention to there conversation. It was that dark presence, not strong enough to make my real from appear but enough to scramble my senses. I took off at the same time my master did, running to the city.

We met up with the gang in a town square. They were having a conversation while I was growling at the thing in the sky. It was large crystals. I growled and Yugi said he thought he knew what was happening. The crystal fell away and I saw the eye of the beast I barked at and bared my teeth.

The eye glowed and I howled; it shot a beam of wind and electricity at us. The others ran and I stood next to my master. The wind circled is and I stayed next to him as the wind whipped at us. His deck glowed and he pulled out the card and stared at it.

"Its that dragon we released" he said

He gained a determined look and said

"Now I summon Timaus"

The card in his had glowed and I howled. A light shot into the sky and the winds were whipped away. The light formed the dragon and it roared at the eye.

"Timaus, protect us from that monster"

The dragon did just that. The eye fired another beam at it and Timaus fired a glob of fire at the wind. There was an explosion as the two forces met. The dragon put more fire into his stream and pushed the winds back. The fire shot right into the eye of the…eye. Breaking into crystal peaces. I growled at the crystal fragments fell to the ground. They were dark evil stones, the seal of Orichalcos. The dragon vanished and I snorted when the fragments vanished as they fell to earth or so I thought.

The dragon shot back into the card and I gave my master a rub with me head, he was staring at the card as he pat me on the head. A red glow was in front of us and we saw the Ka of Mana.

"We've only just begun, the great beast still weak so he retreated for the moment and for that my companies and I grateful my pharaoh. But many of us remain prisoners on the other side."

Way to kill the happy mood Mana I snorted.

"What's next" my master asked

"The great beast will return again and his power will grow, he must be stopped before he is fully restored." She was disappearing now

"Time is running out"

She said and vanished to the other side. My two masters watched the light in the sky disappear. He looked at the card and said

"It seems like Timaus is strong but not strong enough"

the other one said something but I wasn't listing, I was thinking what would happen if I ran into my old master, the one from Atlantis, would I be able to chose between my creator and my two new masters. Both whom I loved.

To be continued…
