You steal my story. I hunt you down!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yippee! Another chapter! The last one was more of an introduction to the story, and mainly the characters... I'm sure I've already mentioned that, but there was another reason I brought it up. Did anyone else besides me feel sickened at Tea's little friendship speech? I had to force myself to write it because that's what her character is like but still... XD *shudders*
Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh and everything related belongs completely to Mr. Kazuki Takahashi (isn't that such a cool name? Though admittedly the first part reminds me of a Kazoo, Japanese people are pretty cool ^^)
Also, I'm not even sure the aforementioned museum is real, however if it is, all rights of it belong to the Cairo Museum!
On with the chapter!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Villence had recently learned somehow that magic existed in the world. Particularly Ancient Egyptian Magic. Seeing as how he didn't have a head completely full of logic, he didn't have to do much to persuade himself that it was real. And he had at least some brains, because he had figured out that he'd need to go to Egypt to find out more.
He'd already bought the ticket using the few sparse dollars that the company had left in it's banks, not caring that he put it in bankrupt. If this Ancient Magic was real, then who needed a company? He'd go straight to the top.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Arriving at Egypt 3 days later, he realized that the plan he had had before -of going straight into the pyramids was hopeless as he didn't even know what he was looking for. At that moment, luck, destiny, or karma hit him and a flyer for the Cairo Museum flew into his windshield.
Hopeful, the man went to said museum, noticing that the flyer mentioned something about historical (in other words Ancient) Egypt. The exhibit he came for was in the back of the facility and he as he walked, Zyvar looked around him at the other exhibits in awe. There were so many strange yet astonishing things here -even -he looked at the mummy in disbelief- real people.
Finally arriving at his desired exhibit, Villence looked around. There was nothing here but a huge stone tablet on the wall. He was confused, however checking the map, he realized this was the only exhibit back here. Disappointed, he walked up to the stone tablet, and what from far away he had assumed were scratches were actually carvings engraved into the stone.
He couldn't believe it. This was the Egyptian history? But there was only one tablet. On the left, a an with spiky hair stood, an upside down pyramid hanging from his neck. On the right was another man, wearing long blue robes and holding a scepter in his hand. The two beings had an aura of power around them, and Villence could almost feel his knees buckle down beneath him as he looked at the depictions. Each of the two men had a monster above him. He himself being a fan of duel monsters, he immediately realized what the two were. The man with the scepter controlled the great Blue Eyes White Dragon which there were only three of in the world. All of which belonged to Seto Kaiba. Kaiba, Villence clenched his teeth in anger at the thought of the man. The other person's monster was the Dark Magician.
Villence Zyvar was confused. So what was the magic? Apparently duel monsters existed back then? And people fought with real ones? That was it? This was simpler than he thought. He'd merely have to find the source of power the two men depicted used and then he could take over the world. The idea seemed stupid to say out loud, but then again was Villence Zyvar. The man looked back up at the tablet, noticing a shared symbol on the items of the two men -the upside down pyramid and the scepter. It was an.... eye. What the hell? He wasn't going to go do some research in a library about this now, nor was he about to go Google it. There had to be a simpler way. He looked down at the brochure in his hands, and opened it. There indeed was the eye -known as the eye of Horus- on the back. The two items shown in the tablet were also drawn, along with five other objects containing the strange eye. The Millenium Items. From what the man could understand, the Millenium Items were items of great power, however they were locked away centuries ago by a brave pharaoh who had sealed away his name with the items so that they could never be used again nor fall into the wrong hands. Is that so, Villence chuckled evilly to himself.
The entire time the purple haired man had been here, Marik had been watching him. He sensed a darkness in the man and was worried about it. The pharaoh had already fulfilled his destiny and returned to the spirit world. They didn't need Ancient Egypt all over again. Besides, how were they going to stop another idiot from taking over the world without the pharaoh? But Marik shoved away his thoughts. You're being stupid, he told himself. The Millenium Items are sealed away for good, you saw the Pharaoh put them back himself. Nothing'll happen. Nonetheless, he was worried and went up to the man with the strange purple hair.
Villence tensed, feeling a presence behind him. He turned around to see a boy about 16 or 17 -Egyptian by the looks of it, with white hair, standing behind him. Before he could say anything the boy interrupted.
"You're going down a bad path,-" the boy paused a little at the end, unsure of what to call the fellow. "I suggest you turn back now and go back to wherever you came from. These things are far beyond your understanding." Marik smiled slightly – a sad but knowing smile. His words oddly reflected upon those the spirit Shadi had once warned him with.
Villence however, confused the smile with a smirk. The part about things being beyond his understanding stung him. Now strangers were coming up to him and telling him he was a complete idiot? All the more reason to find out about these Millenium Items and find a way to release them. "Look kid," he hissed, his voice seeming more menacing thanks to his face. "I can understand anything. I. WANT.," and with that Villence Zyvar stomped out of the building.
Marik watched the man, shocked. He hadn't meant to insult the man – only to warn him. When he said the things were far beyond his understanding, he meant they were an Ancient Egyptian Magic that could overpower anyone but the ones destined to wield it. The man can't be much of a danger, Marik reminded himself. The items are locked away. In stone.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Outside, Villence was seething. What nerve that kid had. At least some good had come out of the Museum's visit -to Villence at least. He'd learned about the Millenium Items. And he wasn't going to stop until he found them.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Gasping for breath, Villence Zyvar glared at the two tomb robbers and one hieroglyphic translator he had hired. "How much longer?"
One of the tomb robbers -who appeared to be in his late 30s motioned his hand around for Villence to see. They were on a slight cliff overlooking the Valley of the Kings. "This is the Valley of the Kings. The pyramid you seek is not that far." The tomb robber looked at the man. He looked like one who could be fooled easily, however he remembered the last time he had tread way in the Valley of the Kings – 8 years ago with some man named Solomon Muto. He had lost his brother that day, but had almost gotten away of getting rid of Muto when a monster attacked him. He didn't know whether he had been hallucinating from lack of oxygen inside the pyramid or if it had really happened, but from there on in he had vowed to himself never to enter a pyramid again.
What seemed to Villence to be hours later, they finally arrived outside the pyramid containing the Stone Tablet. It was a small pyramid, between two larger ones [one containing Atem, and the other Seth]. Villence walked inside the pyramid, not noticing that one of the two tomb robbers were gone. He was awed by what he found. In the middle of the pyramid was the Millenium stone, which contained all seven objects. It was covered in a huge dome of crystal that made it difficult to see it clearly. He walked to the only wall with writing on it – the others each held a huge stone with a drawing of a monster. "Well," Villence tapped his foot impatiently. "You're a translator so TRANSLATE," he barked at the man who was looking up at the writing.
The scholar who read Egyptian hieroglyphics was unnerved by Villence's rudeness. "It says here," he began. "That there is only one way to unseal the Millenium Stone. It's a painful ritual," he continued. "The one to release the tablet must have the evil within him of an entire village. He must pour his blood on the crystal above the stone tablet, then light flames to it. The acid of only such great evil can reawaken the Millenium Items from their slumber. You must also repeat the words in Egyptian written below."
---
Villence had completed the ritual. He was unsure of whether or not it would work, so was shocked when the pyramid began to shake. Slowly, the crystal melted off of the tablet and a flash of light blinded the man, scholar and robber momentarily. When their sight had returned, Villence looked at the stone tablet only to see that five of the seven items were gone. But he needed all seven for ultimate power! Great. Now I have to go find the other items and they could be anywhere in the entire world! Coming out of his reverie, Villence noticed that the other two men were attempting to escape. The pyramid was collapsing! "Quick!" he barked to the tomb robber as Zyvar pocketed the two remaining Millenium Items. He glanced at the stone. He'd worry about making his way back here once he found all seven items. They ran out of the pyramid, just barely making it as the explosion ended.
Walking back from the Valley of the Kings, Villence smiled a twisted, crooked smile. This will be fun. And once he was done, the entire world would be at his mercy.

Ishizu Ishtar was cooking dinner when she felt a strange jolt to her heart. She glanced around worriedly. What just happened. It was then that she noticed that something had materialized in her soup pot. A golden eye gleamed. She gasped.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Pegasus sir, dinner is ready," Croquet announced as Pegasus turned around from his desk.
"Very well Croquet," the man drawled. Croquet closed the door behind him. Pegasus turned around to shut off his computer when he noticed something shining in the corner of his room. It appeared to be a small sphere.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Bye Joey!" Yugi waved as he began walking back to the game shop after a fun day with his friends. The rain began pouring and he began jogging. Arriving at the door, drenched, Yugi stumbled over a small box with the eye of Horus upon it. Could it be? He thought to himself. The Millenium Puzzle? He picked up the box and peered inside. There they were -pieces of the Millenium Puzzle. He excitedly ran the rest of the way to his room. Pharaoh! Could the Pharaoh be back? The teenager's heart was filled with hope and excitement.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Big brother, come on! You've been on that computer for too long!" Mokuba pleaded with Kaiba. "Let's duel! Pleeease!"
Kaiba gave a small smile that was reserved only for his brother. "Alright Mokuba, I'm coming." Kaiba closed his laptop. He walked towards the door and saw a scepter leaning against the wall. A scepter that oddly resembled the Millenium Rod. Oh great, he thought to himself sarcastically. Another adventure. But he took the Rod nevertheless. He'd go give it to Yugi. That made sense. The dweeb patrol was the one interested in magic -not him. How wrong he was. Oh how wrong he was. For as soon as Seto Kaiba grasped the rod, a sudden jolt hit him. He fell on his back from the power of it. What the hell?
----------------------------------------------------------------
All the while, everyone was unaware of three spirits that had been unleashed into the world when their stone tablets broke in the collapse of the pyramid. Particularly, the owners of the spirit monsters the Dark Magician, the Dark Magician Girl, and the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Haha! What an interesting chapter! But don't worry, although Villence Zyvar was the center of attention in this chapter, there'll be way more Seto Kaiba coming up!
