Tenshi- So Spirit is going to write a summary on what happened before the sequel. It is freely up to you if you want to read it or not.
Spirit- Not only so you guys are clear, but it's also to refresh my memory on some events as well. Also I will be keeping this summary up until I write the next chapter for this fic. So here it is:
THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE RED SANDS OF EYGPT! NOT AN ACTUAL CHAPTER!
Hotaru was orphaned at a young age somewhere in Europe.(I never really said where) That is when Darius found her and took her in. He trained her for a couple of years. The time after he told her about her mission, her memory loss of him, his death, and when she was found by the Kaiba family has not yet been revealed. So then she was living with the Kaiba family. Hotaru had two siblings, Seto and Anzu. One night the High priests were staying at their place and they got attacked by Bakura.
This is where Hotaru's training with Darius was remembered, and she dreams about him that night. The next day they are taken to the palace where Seto learns that his father was killed by raiders. He goes into town where he meets and saves Makoto, a servant girl. Meanwhile Hotaru is asked to help go pick up Rei, the pharoh's sister, from Mut. She accepts the job and goes.
On their way back to the palace Bakura attacks and kidnaps Hotaru, who was disguised as Rei. When he discovers who she is he plans on using her to get the Millennium Items. Back with Rei, we find out that she and Marik had been secretly seeing eachother. Why? Cause Royalty can not be with tombkeepers. The first night Hotaru stays with Bakura she dreams again about Darius and remembers her past. A group of raiders had destroyed her small village and she was the only one left alive. She also remembers that Darius had forseen devastation in the future and had sent her to stop it. The guy who is the cause of the chaos is Hondo.
Later, when the ban of thieves are traveling around they are attacked by Hondo's men. Hondo is trying to get close to the pharaoh and is using the reward put on rescuing Hotaru to get close enough. He kidnaps Hotaru and tells her that they both have special ablilities. However his are evil. Bakura saves her and takes her back to the campsite. This is the first time they kiss, but unfortuneatly Hotaru is asleep.
Back at the palace Makoto and Anzu meet Amara. Amara is a peasent girl who is a friend of the pharaohs, but at the time thought he was only a guard. Veiw switches back to Hotaru and Bakura. The thief is now starting to realize his feelings but doesn't want to have them. They have one of their infamous arguments then are attacked by a sand storm in which the two fall into a burried tomb.Switching to Atem and Seto. While looking for Hotaru they happen upon Hondo . He tricked Atem and was able to follow him around, however Seto didn't trust him.
Rei has a premontion of all of Egypt burning and the man responsible for it. She confides in Marik We see a little romance with them. Then we go back to our favorite couple who are slowly but surely finding their way through the tomb. Both having to rely on the others strengths. And both fighting non stop. While resting she tells him about Hondo. Again they argue and Bakura blurts out that he loves her.
Amara once again sneeks into the palace to find "Yami". He finds her instead and pisses her off so she chases him around. The guards catch her, and it is revealed that Yami is actually Atem. When the guards leave Amara yells at Atem about how he lied to her. She then runs off. Atem starts to bring up memories of her past and how they met.
Back with Bakura and Hotaru. The two are kind of quiet for awhile and then the thief explains how he started falling for her. Hotaru confesses that she loves him too and they kiss. After that they find their way out and the band meets them. Before they can rejoyce however, cause soldiers of the pharaoh surround them. Bakura surrenders and goes with them freely. He tells Hotaru he doesn't love her and that he was going to kill her. The group heads back to the palace. There Hotaru is welcomed back by her sister and Rei and meets Makoto. Bakura sees how happy she is back with her family and believes he made the right descision. He stilled loved her but knew she was better off with her family.
Hotaru then tells the girls all of what happened whil with Bakura. She then mentions Hondo and Anzu and Rei tell her that he had been at the palace but disappeared that morning. Atem them summons Hotaru and askes what they should do with Bakura. Of course Akhenaden greatly objects and reads Hotaru's mind. He tells everyone that she is in love with the thief and should not be counted. Atem has to listen to the priest and says Bakura will be beheaded.
While Hotaru is confined to her room, Anzu, Rei, and Makoto plan to break Bakura and his men out. They do but are spotted. Bakura stays behind so that the others can escape. Akhenaden then tortures Bakura. Elsewhere Hondo is planning his attack and is making sure the execution of Bakura is fixed.
Now comes the day of Bakura's execution. Atem shows some respect to the thief by making the people stop throwing food at him. Anzu talks some sense into Hotaru who then throws herself onto Bakura, stopping the executioner. Akhenaden tries to kill her, but Bakura gets in the way. Before Akhenden can strike again, Atem shoots him with a couple of arrows. All hell breaks loose, as Hondo's men start attacking from the crowds. Everyone rushes in to fight.
After the fighting Atem learns that it was Hondo who staged the attack. Everyone is now staying at the palace and the guys are preparring for the battle to come. The girls are pissed cause they can't help. However, that of course doesn't stop them and Amara joins Hotaru to help train the rest of the girls. At dinner Amara joins them and continues to ignore Atem. When diner is over they talk alone. Atem then confesses his love for her.
Later that night Hotaru is almost kidnapped by Hondo's men. Decides it is best to go fight him, since she is probably the only one who can beat him. Anzu doesn't want her to go, but Hotaru knocks her out and takes off. Everyone is alreted of Hotaru's disappearance in the morning. However, Anzu is also missing. Bakura is then awair that Hamadi, his second in comand and best friend, is also missing. They prepare for battle
Anzu and Hamadi meet up to go get Hotaru. Well Anzu want's to get Hotaru and Hamadi is following her cause he likes her.
Hotaru finally faces off with Hondo in a temple for Anubis while Atem's and Bakura's army faces off with Hondo's. Hotaru soon starts to run out of energy, but Anzu and Hamadi save her just in time.They continue to hold Hondo off, while Hotaru powers up. Meanwhile The rest of the girls have disguised themselves as men and are fighting the army. Bakura finds them out, but doesn't really care. Rei had a premonition and says they must find Hotaru. Atem and Marik join the group and head off to the temple.
Hamadi and Anzu are fighting with all they've got. They are succesful in keeping him occupied while Hotaru finishes gathering all her power into her glaive. However once she finishes she see's Hamadi protect her sister and get killed by Hondo. He tells Anzu he really did like her before he died. Unable to cope Anzu does nothing and lets Hondo kill her as well.
This only proves fatal for Hondo as now Hotaru grows even stronger with her new hate towards him. They start to fight again, Hotaru winning. She then lets out her final attack. An energy blast that almost kills him. Completely drained of energy, Hotaru crawls over to him to finish him off. After he says he doesn't regret anything she drives her glaive into his heart. Hondo dies instantly. Bakura and the others rush in at this point. The thief catches Hotaru who then falls unconscious.
Four days later Hotaru is still unconscious and Atem tells Bakura he must leave. Though he had help protect his kingdom, he was still the most wanted man in Egypt.
