CHAPTER 12:

Anzu was terrified for what was happening, she wanted to do something but she couldn't. She felt like a little scared girl who the destiny had put in this tough situation. She wished her normal live to return again, but, at the same time, she was happy for had known him. Her thoughts and feelings were so mixed and confused that she couldn't think anymore and just stared at the scene before her.

He was there, in the middle of a circle that had formed the men. He was perfectly standing with his arms at the sides and staring with a cold gaze at the man who was now grabbing her and that she supposed was the leader. She realized a smirk on the man's lips.

-"I have to call Duke, but how? This man wouldn't let me go! I have to do something but what?!!"-she thought and came up with something.

She let herself fall on the floor and pretended to be faint. Cobra just looked at her limp body.

-I think your little girl couldn't stand this situation! JaJaJa –all men laughed- and now is your turn, but to go sleep… forever… -he said and raised his silencer gun aiming at his head.

Atem kept looking at him and just smirked to what the man had said. Cobra noted his expression and got angry for this

-Die! –Cobra shot his gun and waited for his body to fall, but that didn't occurred.

Atem didn't move an inch to his action and merely stayed there looking at the bullet which was paralyzed in mid-air a few centimeters away off his face.

Anzu opened her eyes to see if the attempt of mislead to the man who was holding her worked. Effectively, the man was some steps away from her and was looking with wide eyes to something. She looked as well and saw Atem lifting his hand to grab a bullet that was in mid-air a few centimeters away off his face. She felt a chill running down her spine when she saw him grasping it very strongly and then letting the bullet powder fall and lost into nothing. She couldn't waste any more time and called Duke immediately.

Duke and Joey were at Duke's apartment.

-I still can't believe I was a priest in ancient times, is amazing!!-exclaimed Joey standing up to get something to eat.

-This is something I never thought would happen to me. It's kind of lurid –replied Duke sitting in front of the computer

-I know its creepy but I feel important now-Joey said taking a bite of a sandwich he had make

-There's nothing useful on the web. I hadn't found anything new-Duke exclaimed turning off the pc and rubbing his tired eyes.

-What time is it? –he asked to Joey

-Its…-Joey looked to his wristwatch- Four forty-five –he said drinking some juice

-Did you think Yami had found something?- he asked to Joey

-I don't know, why don't you call him? –Joey suggested

Suddenly Duke's cell phone rang.

-Talking about the pharaoh of ancient Egypt –mocked Joey taking another bite to his sandwich.

-I think is not him, is an unknown number –replied Duke while answering it.

-Hello?

-Duke? Its me Anzu –She said in a whisper and shaky tone

-Anzu! How are you? –he asked while Joey moved to sit besides him to listen

-I don't have time to talk; you must come to Yami's house, urgently!!

-What happened? –he asked standing up. Joey stood up as well.

-Yami has turn into the pharaoh again and we are surrounded by armed men and--- the line went out

-Anzu? Anzu! –Duke exclaimed and turned to look at Joey

-We have to go to Yami's house –he said grabbing his coat and keys.

-What happened? –Joey asked grabbing his coat too.

-It had happened, again.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

At the taxi, the millennium ring and eye started to glow.

-What's happening? –asked Isis

-They are reacting to something –Bakura said looking to his item

-I can see something! –exclaimed Marik

-What? –asked Bakura and Isis turning around to see him

-I see… shadows all over and a circle of men… in the center of it I see a dark figure. That's all. –he said while closing his eye

-We have to hurry –said Bakura clenching his fists.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-..-

Cobra realized that the girl was talking by phone and he took it away of her hands in one hit, then, he lifted her roughly off the ground and grabbed her strongly by passing his right arm around her waist and with his left hand he grabbed her face.

-You're a bad girl –he said in her ear at the same time he licked her cheek with his disgusting tongue

-Let me go!! Scum of hell!! –she yelled drawing the attention of all men who were still shocked staring at Atem

-Let her go now if you want to live –Atem said very high and slow for he to understand

-First, I want to have some fun with her, she is very hot –Cobra replied in a joking tone

He started to travel her legs with his left hand and caressed her thighs introducing his hand under her skirt and with his mouth started to kiss her neck and to lick her cheek. Anzu wanted to escape; this madman was simply having fun with her. She couldn't stand this, her eyes filled up with tears as she yelled

-Stop it!! Wacko! STOP!!!

Atem felt like a dagger had incrusted in all his heart by seeing this and the energy of his body increased so much that all in the house were covered by darkness and all the objects that were around in the lounge were destroyed and only was heard the sound of the pieces falling on the floor.

All the men took a step back because of the thick atmosphere that suddenly appeared. Atem felt so angry for what Cobra was doing that he clenched his fists strongly so his knuckles went white and concentrated an amount of dark energy on his right fist, then, he started to walk towards the man.

Cobra stopped touching her and looked at Yami.

-Stop right there! I warn you! –he yelled pulling out a knife and putting it on Anzu's neck

Atem didn't pay attention to his demand and kept walking as he started to chant, first in a whisper then, raising his voice.

"Οι σκιές της νύχτας, ακούνε με! Είμαι ο ιδιοκτήτης σας, πρέπει να υπακούσετε τις διαταγές μου, και σας διατάζω για να παραλύσω όλα τα άτομα σε ισχύ αυτή η και πρέπει να τα δώσω στην άπειρη σφαίρα σκιών σας" (1)–he finished saying at the same time he stopped in front of the man who was paralyzed by an invisible force.

Atem grabbed the arm around Anzu's waist and turn it around harshly making it crack and the man scream of pain, then, he extended his hand for Anzu and she hesitantly took it. Atem brought her to his side and Anzu stood behind him.

He turned to look at the man that was groaning of pain and grabbed him by his neck with his right hand lifting him a few centimeters off the floor.

-Where is Set? –he asked to the choking man

-Is…in… Egypt… near the… Valley of … Kings… -Cobra managed to say hoping that he would let him live.

-Now, is your turn

The amount of dark energy on his hand passed to Cobra's body and soon he started to get poisoned. His neck was being covered by black streams which extended to all his face and chest making him scream and hardly breathe besides of the strong grip that had Yami on his neck. The streams covered soon all his body and he coughed some blood and died. Seeing this, Atem let the body fall on the floor with a loud thud and immediately living shadows went to devour him and the body disappeared right in front of all the eyes that were there.

-Who will be the next? –asked Atem staring to the rest of the men that were paralyzed.

The men wanted to escape but they couldn't move at all. They were deadly scared of him and started to beg for mercy.

-Please… let us go and we never came back again… please don't kill us… I don't want to die…Forgive us please we only follow orders, mercy… -they yelled and screamed

-Yami, please stop, its enough, please –Anzu said grabbing his arm and staring with teary eyes into his eyes

-I made a promise, and I should fulfill it –he said without looking at her.

He closed his eyes and raised his hands, the glowing eye shone brightly and he started to chant again.

"Από όλα τα εγκλήματα θα τιμωρούσαστε. Αφησα τις σκιές να αποφασίσουν ποιος αξίζει τη ζωή" (2)-he finished and opened his eyes to see all men death on the floor.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-..-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.--.-.--.-.-.-

Duke and Joey arrived rapidly to Yami's house. They parked Joey's car and ran towards the house.

-Look, the gate –said Joey to Duke who detailed it closely

-It was broke opened-said Duke – Come on! We must hurry! –exclaimed while running

They arrived to the front door and were shocked by the scene before them. There were bodies of men all over the floor, all was covered by darkness and a kind of smoke were covering all the bodies and making them disappear. In the center of the creepy scene stood Yami with the millennium symbol on his forehead staring directly at them, and also they saw Anzu besides him staring at them too.

-Thank god! Duke, Joey, please, help me to calm him down –she said looking again at Yami and shaking him gently

-Yami is over! Calm down –she pleaded as she grabbed his face to obligate him look into her eyes. She saw that his eyes were without shine and that his expression was as serious as ever.

-This time, I will not fall again woman –he said grabbing her hands and pulling them away off his face, then he started to walk towards the door.

Duke and Joey had to do something to stop him of going out. In that state he was very dangerous. They approached and gripped him. Duke gripped his left and Joey his right arm. Anzu just stared to their action on him and Atem just stood there smirking and letting they grabbed him.

-We won't let you go anywhere ok –Duke said grabbing him with all his strength as well as Joey

-Do you truly think you can stop me? –he asked staring to his stupid attempt of holding him

-They don't, but we can –yelled a voice from the door.

All raised their eyes to see three figures standing at the door. Two were males and a female. They also realized the millennium items of the males.

-Two millennium items… interesting, you are two of my priest, am I correct? –asked Yami making Duke and Joey fall into the floor by the pull he gave to release their grip off his arms

-Yes, pharaoh, you are correct and we came to help you untie your soul of the dark shadows –Bakura explained

-You came to what? Are you kidding me right? –asked pharaoh raising an eyebrow

Anzu helped Duke and Joey to stand and they continue listen to the conversation.

-No, you are trapped in the dark and your soul is consuming in it, at least we do something –said Marik while the three walked towards Yami

-Don't you dare to do that! You are here to obey me and to help me destroy Set, no matter what took you to do it! I don't care! That's all! That is your only mission! That is what I want! –exclaimed Atem raising his voice

-Pharaoh, you never used to be like this, you were so calm. You loved the justice, to do the things in a right way, you worried about the people, but now you just care about destruction and death, now you are so evil –Bakura said stopping in front of him.

-That is none of you concern, you only have to do what I said! –Exclaimed Atem to him

-Pharaoh, prepare to free your soul –Bakura said while lifting his ring and making it glow.

Marik made his eye glow as well and they started to chant together.

"Από τη δύναμη των στοιχείων μας απελευθερώνουμε την ψυχή σας των σκοτεινών σκιών. Τα στοιχεία, άφησαν το pharaoh να είναι χωρίς φορτίο που ο ίδιος είχε χρεώσει στους ώμους του έναν μακροχρόνιο χρόνο πριν, κάνει ότι δύο πρόσωπά του, το σκοτάδι και το φως συγχωνεύουν σε ένα" (3)

As they said that, Atem screamed of pain and off his mouth were coming out a thick smoke that rapidly disappeared into the air. He kneeled on the floor holding his chest and hardly breathing as he continued to scream. Anzu was crying to see Yami in that horrible pain. When Bakura and Marik finished chanting, the glowing of the items faded and they looked to Atem.

He was on his knees grabbing his chest with both hands. The glowing eye on his forehead faded and then he fall face up on the floor.

Anzu ran towards him and lifted his head making it rest on her lap. She gently caressed his face and he slowly opened his eyes to see her just for a brief moment. Then all went black.


"Shadows of the night, listen to me! I'm your owner, you must obey my orders, and I order you to paralyze all men in this place and I should give them to your infinite shadow realm" (1)

"By all the crimes you would be punished. I let the shadows decide who deserves the life" (2)

"By the power of our items we release your soul of the dark shadows. Items, let the pharaoh be free of the burden he himself had charged on his shoulders a long time ago, make that his two faces, the dark and the light merge into one" (3)
