Wolf: Here we are!
Leo: Yup! And we own nothing but the plot and ourselves.
After countless worlds and battles the orbs had all been found. The teens, weary from their travels connected the computers for what they hoped was the last time. The computers took them back to the world of shifting colors in which they had first been given their task.
"Well this is a little odd." Yugi said, bobbing slightly up and down. Yami chortled.
"After all that we've been through, you think this is odd?" He teased. Yugi blushed softly. The twins giggled.
"Come on, we'd better find where the place to put these things is." Katie said, trying to control the movement of her floating. Meg sighed and turned into a blue eyed black dragon, picking up all three of the other travelers and heading to where they could see a soft golden light in the distance.
"I would have thought the demons would be all here, trying to stop us." Yami commented.
"Maybe they can't be here." Katie replied. "This is the gods' home after all." Yami nodded in assent. They flew towards the light, which manifested itself into a large temple that glittered like gold. The temple was deserted inside, which the travelers found slightly unnerving.
"You'd think there'd be someone here." Yugi whispered, latching onto Yami's arm and pressing into his side. Yami wrapped an arm around him reassuringly.
"I have to agree." Meg said. "This is kind of giving me the willies." All the teens' senses were on high alert as they made their way into the innards of the temple. Inside was a room filled with circular nooks that were in the same shape as the orbs that the twins carried in their bags.
A soft chiming echoed from the bags, and the teens felt the orbs inside strain towards the nooks. The twins looked at each other and opened their bags. The teens watched in awe as the orbs flew out of the bags and settled in the nooks in the room, on the walls, ceiling and floor. When all the nooks were filled the orbs glowed brightly and began to hum.
"Well," Meg said after a few minutes. "I guess that means our work is done."
But, just then, there was a loud bang, and something large tumbled to the floor. The twins had pulled their weapons out before they realized that it was actually Bastet. The cat goddess lay on the floor, with blood pouring from wounds on her back and chest.
"Yugi, help her." Katie said distractedly.
"I thought nothing could injure a god?" Yami said quietly.
"Only other gods, or lesser 'gods', like demons." Meg explained as Yugi healed the large slashes across Bastet's body.
"So, so you think that she is the reason the demons have not been in here?" Yami asked.
'No, that is not why.' Bastet sat up. 'That is enough little one, I am healed enough and you will wear yourself out.'
"Then what did happen to you?" Meg asked.
'We have been betrayed.' Bastet hissed. 'The dark god, Set, is trying to take over the throne of the gods, and gain control over the Multiverse, with the demons at his side.'
"He wants to destroy them." Yugi whispered, horror-stricken. Bastet nodded.
'All the others have been captured.' She said. 'I barely managed to escape.'
"What do we do now?" Yugi asked fearfully. Bastet looked down at him gravely.
'We must find a way to fight back.'
"But how?" Yugi
Bastet just grinned.
"So, why weren't we allowed to control where we went before?" Katie asked, as Bastet took them into another universe.
'It was not necessary.' She replied. 'You needed to seek the orbs, and the spell's job was to land you close to wherever it was.'
"That's another thing I don't get, why didn't it land us exactly where we needed to go?" Yami grumbled.
'Even our magic has its limits.' Bastet replied tersely. 'The orbs did not want to be found.'
Suddenly a delighted cry reached their ears and they were met by two young boys with dark hair.
"Yoh! Hao!" The twins cried, recognizing the two boys. "How have you been?!"
"Great!" Yoh replied.
"How about you Hao?" Katie asked.
"It's been tough, people weren't always able to let go of their hate, and it's hard for me to reconcile myself with what I did."
"What the demon did." Yoh corrected, slinging an arm around Hao's shoulders. "Anyways, what brings you here again?"
'We are in need of assistance.' The Asakura twins' eyes widened as they realized who was standing with their friends. Instantly they bowed low. Bastet let out a purring chuckle. 'Rise mortals, I am not fond of bowing.'
"You said you needed assistance?" Hao asked her.
'Yes, the realm of the gods is being taken over by the dark god Set.' She explained. 'We need to amass an army to take him and his horde of demons on, and free my brothers and sisters.'
"Will you help us?" Yami asked. Yoh and Hao wore twin looks of determination.
"Of course."
'Now, hopefully the demons haven't overrun the stores.' Bastet said as they led their army through the deserted realm of the gods. Everywhere they could see signs of struggle; broken items, even blood on the ground in some places.
"This is all very strange, isn't it?" Atem commented cheerily. Heba, walking beside him, nodded. Many friends had come immediately when they had asked. Simba and his pride, many of the shamans that were Yoh and Hao's friends, even Sam and some of the other survivors had wanted to join.
'Ah, here we are.' Bastet said. 'This is a weapons storehouse.' She explained as she opened the doors and ushered them inside. 'We will be able to find suitable weapons to destroy demons with in here.'
'What about Set?' asked Meg. Bastet growled and her tail lashed angrily.
'He is mine.' She said, voice dangerous. She then turned and stalked into the bowels of the storehouse. The rest of them shrugged and followed her. Bastet silently handed Atem a crossbow.
'The arrows will never run out.' She explained as she handed another to Heba. She began handing out weapons to all, based on their skill and preferences. The lions she outfitted with armor that would withstand attacks from demons, and a spell that would allow their claws and teeth to tear through the demons' flesh.
'Is everyone ready?' The army of misfits all nodded. 'Good, then let us go say hello to my 'dear' cousin.'
