A/N:Last chapter, I can't believe that I'm done this story with this chapter and just in time for Halloween which this story was suppose to take place at. This chapter is very gothic… maybe it's because of all the gothic stories I've been reading. If your favourite character is Ryou or Bakura and you like gothic type stories, I suggest you read some of the stories by an author called Clouded-Days. They are amazing at what they do. Ok to recap: we are in the Shadow Realm so far. Please read and enjoy. If anything is wrong with the font and other stuff that doesn't include grammar or spelling it just means that when I loaded this the file got messed around with.
Disclaimer: Stupid Lawyers, They didn't give me the world and I think I'll need a restraining order to get rid of them. -Groans- FOR THE WHO KNOWS HOW MANYTH TIME, ALL I OWN IS THE PLOT, WIZARD-THEIF, TORN TWISTED AND THE SCRIBE/GIT! I'M NOT MAKING ANY MONEY OFF OF THIS STORY AT ALL…-Lawyers don't move- THAT'S IT! -Pulls out a hand grenade- -Throws it- -Explodes- -lawyers run away- Muahahahaha!
Chapter 17
(I don't care if Marik and Bakura are still in the maze.)
(Everyone else is out so it counts.)
"I must say that I'm surprise to see you again, Miss Touzoku"
"How?" Wizard-Theif thought then she remember what Bakura had said in the maze, "Just wait a few minutes for our friend to arrive and you'll see." "Damn him to Hell, if I ever see him again I'll murder him!" Wizard-Theif thought when everything clicked.
"You and me both." Wizard-Theif said through clenched teeth as she turned to face the man.
"And where is Master Bakura? Or did you already do away with him like you did the other?" The man replied. He was just as Wizard-Theif remembered him; the cockiness and smugness were still apparent in his hazel eyes and his still wore that old tunic that showed he was from a high class around himself.
"Shut… up…" Wizard-Theif snarled, it was taking all her willpower not to blast this guy into the next millennium.
"Wizard-Theif, do you know this guy?" Mossnose asked.
"Unfortunately."
"Just who are you?" Atemu asked addressing the man.
"I am but a humble scribe who found himself in the pay of the two most feared and greatest thieves Egypt has ever seen." The man replied.
"Humble my foot! And sucking up won't help you here!" Wizard-Theif yelled, her rage getting the best of her, "I should have made sure that I killed you the first time! And why are you here? Are you doing to try to get me into more trouble? Going for a new record are we?"
"Miss Touzoku, I assure that I'm here to help you and your friends out of this realm."
"We don't need your kind of help." Wizard-Theif said dropping a silent threat.
"Hang on Wizard-Theif calm down." Spidey said looking at Wizard-Theif in a worried way as Wizard-Theif's aura started to change again.
"I see that you are working with Pharaoh Atemu now." The scribe with no name said, "I wonder…"
"If you think I stabbed Bakura in the back just to get on Pharaoh-boy's good side you are insane." Wizard-Theif said, her rage was really started to boil now.
"Not at all, not at all." The scribe said, "I'm sure you acted accordingly."
"Why I oughta…" Wizard-Theif said but she swallowed her rage, she wasn't going to play his game, she wouldn't lose her cool again.
"What is he talking about?" Torn Twisted asked.
"Nothing." Wizard-Theif replied and then said to the scribe, "Alright, if you are so smart, lead us to the exit."
The scribe seemed surprised when he replied, "I can only lead you if both you and Master Bakura agree on it, and you are both my masters."
"Do you think I care?" Wizard-Theif said pulling out a knife and walking over to the scribe.
The Scribe's eyes widened, "Miss Touzoku! Please don't!"
"Drop dead." Wizard-Theif said before stabbing him.
He fell to the ground, dead and Wizard-Theif merely cleaned her knife off on her cloak.
Everyone stood still in shock, the silence was so complete that it seemed to have substance. Everyone but Wizard-Theif seemed to be suffocating and unable to move because of it. Slowly Wizard-Theif placed her knife back in her pocket and turned back to the others. Her eyes were once again crimson and her face had an amused look on it.
"Wizard-Theif?" Spidey whispered.
"More or less." Wizard-Theif replied with a smile revealing fangs.
"What happened to you?" Mossnose asked.
Wizard-Theif just shrugged and smiled again.
"Wizard-Theif this isn't funny, what is going on!?" Torn Twisted asked.
Wizard-Theif's smile widened, "It wasn't meant to be funny."
"What is going on?" Kaiba asked Atemu and Malik.
"Her powers have awakened." Atemu said.
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"There was a mention of something like this happening before in some old scrolls." Malik said.
"How did it end?" Yugi asked.
"Not well."
"Did it have any hints of how to stop history from repeating itself?" Kaiba asked.
"So it appears that the priest's reincarnation finally decided to grow up and face reality." Wizard-Theif said pulling out her knife and looking it over.
Kaiba wasn't stupid enough to attack in rage but he was stupid enough to get impatient, "Well?"
"Nothing will save you, the only reason that the world survived last time was because someone was a fool and tried to stop me." Wizard-Theif said turning the knife over in her hands, though she had wiped it off it was still blood stained.
"Who was the fool?" Spidey asked.
"No one important and doesn't really matter as I won't be stopped this time thanks to a so called friend of mine." Wizard-Theif said her grin fading till it was merely a line.
"It looks like Bakura knew what he was doing after all… Damn him." Atemu said.
"But we can still beat him and Wizard-Theif… right?" Torn Twisted asked.
Her answer? She got Spidey, Mossnose, Malik, Yugi and Atemu all looking at the ground with a frown on their faces.
"You have got to be kidding me." Kaiba said.
"It looks like the world's last hope isn't even going to try to stop me." Wizard-Theif thought with a smile, "Good, that will make this even easier, shame that I didn't get to fight anyone who'd put up a worthy effort. Oh well, maybe I'll be sent on another mission soon."
"Are we really going to sit here while the fate of the world in at stake?" Kaiba demanded.
"What can we do?" Torn Twisted asked.
"We can try." Kaiba said fiercely.
"Who would have thought that Kaiba would be the one to encourage us to fight a magical foe?" Atemu muttered to Yugi and Malik.
"I don't think anyone did." They muttered back.
They all looked up with renewed determination and readied their weapons of choice. Spidey pulled out her sutras and Mossnose transformed to a tiger sized cat. Yugi and Atemu summoned the Egyptian Gods and just in case Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl and Kaiba summoned Blue Eyes White Dragon. Malik was about to summon something when Atemu and Spidey told him to stay back as back up. The same when for Torn Twisted and after a bit of yelling Mossnose 'agreed' to be back up as well.
"Oh… so they are going to try to fight me… this should prove amusing… Let's see what they have got." Wizard-Theif thought as she put her knife away and she removed her cloak so reveal bat wings as big as she was and as black as death but somehow at the same time as red as blood.
"Let's see how much power you all have, I'm warning you though, over the years I have grown in power as my hikaru has." Wizard-Theif said rising off the ground.
"What?" Everyone asked.
"So my hikaru didn't tell you; that makes sense as she didn't even tell the boy she thought of as brother her secret of being a demon or her fate." Wizard-Theif or her yami continued.
"Attack!" Atemu yelled and everyone who could have a chance of hitting the demon (Spidey, Kaiba, Yugi and Atemu) attacked but for the amount of good it did they might as well have aimed at the other side of the Shadow Realm. Wizard-Theif just disappeared into the shadows and the attacks all just collided wasting their strength and in Spidey's case, her weapons.
Within seconds after the failed attack Atemu fell to the ground, a huge rip in the back of his shirt revealing his back that now homed a deep and bloody cut. Kaiba was next to fall but his cut was to the gut area. It appeared that Wizard-Theif preferred to draw this out for as long as she could.
Spidey looked around for a sign of the demon appearing then she heard a gasp of pain and turned around to see Torn Twisted and Malik fall. It was just her and Mossnose now but not for long. Mossnose fell to the ground within seconds and soon all of the wounded were unconscious.
"Where are you!?" Spidey yelled out to the shadows.
"All around you." Wizard-Theif replied not appearing.
"Show yourself!"
Spidey heard laughter and then "As you wish." and Wizard-Theif appeared standing but three feet away from Spidey. Her clothing was now all blood stained and her grin was unnerving.
"What's the matter? Afraid?" Wizard-Theif asked.
"I'm not going to let you win, even if that means that I have to kill you." Spidey said with tears in her eyes as she pulled out a sutra, at once she saw the same look that Wizard-Theif had giving her back in the hotel not long ago back on the other girl's face and when she spoke, her voice held challenge:
"Go ahead, try it and see what's happens." Wizard-Theif said holding out her arm for Spidey to put the sutra on.
Spidey hesitated for a second and then slapped the sutra on and started concentrating. At first nothing happen, then slowly the shadows began to retreat and the sutra started to glow blue. Then it started to send off little bolts of lightening and the glowing spread to Wizard-Theif's arm. Within the nest moment the bolts have increased in size and the glowing was surrounding Wizard-Theif's entire body but Wizard-Theif showed no signs of pain, only of amusement.
After a bit Spidey started to feel the strain of trying to purify something so strong and evil. Within the next moment after feeling the strain, the glow of the sutra started to disappear.
Wizard-Theif let out a laugh and said, "You all tried and failed to defeat me, you will spend the rest of your days with the rest of both worlds, Earth and the shadows will become nothingness." She flicked the sutra off like it was nothing and then said, "Say goodbye to all that you once knew."
"I don't think so." A voice said.
Wizard-Theif looked amused and said, "So you finally showed up."
Then the owner of the voice appeared, "Yes."
"Nice to see that I get to crush you one last time before I say goodbye for good." Wizard-Theif said turning to the owner.
"You think so do you?" Bakura said in reply.
"I'm amazed that there is still some good in you after your last attempt to bring back Zorc."
"I'm good enough to beat you." Bakura said summoning Diabound.
Wizard-Theif just shook her head and said, "What chance do you, who are evil, have when those who were pure couldn't beat me?"
"Just one." Bakura said with a smile, "I know you and I know that you can't kill me because your hikaru won't let you."
"HA! You think that she still has control?" Wizard-Theif said with a laugh.
"Yes." Bakura said becoming all business.
"Alright let's see if you are right." Wizard-Theif said walking over to him. As she walked she pulled out a gun.
"Sure you're not going to miss?" Bakura asked.
"Unlike you, I have perfect aim." Wizard-Theif said aiming the gun at Bakura's heart.
She fired, the bullet hit home, Bakura crumpled and his monster dissolved.
"I told you that your 'sister' had no control." Wizard-Theif said looked down at him in distaste. "You should have listened." She said as she made to walk away.
"I'm… not… done… yet." Bakura said getting up.
"What?! But how?" Wizard-Theif asked.
"I am the shadows and you, more than anyone, know that the shadows never die." Bakura said as Diabound appeared again.
Wizard-Theif's confusion showed on her face for a second before she recollected herself and said, "Is that so?"
"So, so." Bakura replied with a grin, "Isn't that right, Malik?"
"You have that right." Malik said also getting up and summoning a monster, "Elena?"
"Totally." Spidey said pulling out an even stronger sutra, "Torn Twisted?"
"Yup." Torn Twisted said summoning Spidey's usual monster, "Mossnose?"
"You bet." Mossnose said summoning her monster, "Seto?"
Kaiba nodded, summoned Blue Eyes and said, "Yugi?"
"Yes." Yugi said summoning his monsters, "Atemu?"
"I can't believe it but… your right, Bakura." Atemu said summoning the Gods again, "And that means that this is over."
"Once again, you think so?" Wizard-Theif asked, "I only have to cast one spell and this world and Earth are done."
"But you will never get the chance, attack!" Bakura said and everyone did with everything they had when they were done Wizard-Theif was nowhere to be seen and they kneeled on the ground, exhausted
"We did it." Malik muttered.
"At what cost through?" Spidey asked, "Wizard-Theif is gone."
"Well… not as gone as you think." Bakura said.
"What are you talking about?" Mossnose asked giving Bakura a look.
He just nodded over in a direction, everyone looked to see…
"Wizzie!" Spidey yelled running over and giving her friend a hug.
"Get off! I'm dying here!" Wizard-Theif said, her eyes back to black and her wings just black, black.
"But… how?" Mossnose asked looking at Bakura for an explanation.
He just shrugged, "Sometimes evil has to beat evil."
"Bakura, you won't be evil anymore if you… GET SPIDEY OFF OF ME!" Wizard-Theif said.
Torn Twisted shrugged and rescued Wizard-Theif.
"Thank you, I don't know what happened or what you guys did, but awesome job!" Wizard-Theif said.
"Let's just hope that in 5000 years if this happens again, we are still around." Bakura said.
"You will, knowing you." Atemu said.
"Probably."
"So how are we getting out of here?" Kaiba asked.
"The same way we got in." Wizard-Theif said.
Everyone but Bakura just gave her a look and she sighed, "Look, just close your eyes."
Everyone did so and next thing anyone knew was that they were all in some sort of pod.
"So how was it?" A man in a black asked once they were all out of the pods.
"Very life like." Torn Twisted said.
"It was very boring." Ryou said before transforming into Bakura.
"The special effects need work." Wizard-Theif said.
"So does the maze." Bakura added.
"The graphics were horrible." Kaiba said.
"Oh course you would say that." Wizard-Theif said.
"But everything else was fine?" The man asked.
"Yes." Everyone said.
"Very good, you may go." The man said pointing to a door.
"Who would have thought that we go sign up for a tournament and end up testing out a new video game?" Wizard-Theif asked.
"Not me." Spidey replied.
"So now where to?" Malik asked.
Wizard-Theif, Bakura, Yugi and Spidey all looked at each other and then yelled, "Ice Cream!"
"Oh boy." Was the replied from Kaiba, Mossnose, Torn Twisted and Ryou and Atemu in thier soul rooms.
"So did you ever find out what the thing with the costume was about?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah, it was someone's idea of a prank." Spidey said glaring at Bakura who ignored it.
"And why are you guys here anyways?" Bakura asked Mossnose.
"I won this trip to any 5 places and I could bring 2 friends so…"
"And Torn Twisted is here visiting Pharaoh-boy." Wizard-Theif said.
"That wasn't a half bad video game." Torn Twisted said.
"Yeah... but I have this weird feeling that it wasn't really a game."
"Why?" Spidey asked.
"Who knows," Wizard-Theif said before running ahead of everyone, "last one to the ice cream store buys."
They all run after her except for Kaiba who didn't care if he had to pay or not.
