Jounochi didn't know where he was going. He didn't care. It should've stayed constant along with his relationships that he had with all of his friends in his chaotic and depressing life filled with Egyptian Spirits and monsters that can come to life and light and dark halves-

Joey turned a sharp right and kept going at top speed to whatever random destination his body went too. He ran so fast, he didn't even notice that a small, black butterfly was slowly fluttering after him. He made a few more random turns before deciding to start slowing down.

Everything just seemed wrong. Nothing seemed right. Was his whole life a lie? It couldn't be a trick, he knew how honest his friends were. Was this the explanation to those weird dreams?

But him? Being KAIBA'S, of all the people in the world, light? That was ridiculous! There was no way that was plausible. I mean, come on! That was ridiculous! They didn't even like each other.

IT WAS RIDICULOUS!

Then again, neither did Bakura and Ryou at first… and Malik and Marik… and him and Yugi and Honda and Anzu-

Ok, so he ended up being friends with the people he disliked- but Kaiba was the exception! After all, he loathed Kaiba. Hated him with a passion.

But Jounochi knew that talking himself out of the truth wouldn't last long. Eventually, he found himself sitting on a bench in front of the Eiffel Tower.

Why couldn't things in his life stay the way they were? He hated change.

The little black butterfly made contact with his dog tag as a purple silhouette of a butterfly appeared over his face.

"Rememorator, I am Hawkmoth…"

"Jou!"

"Jounochi!"

"Jou, where are you?" Yugi called. She was growing worried- she had been given a lecture from her grandpa about all of the pickpockets that were here. She saw Seto looking around and ran up to him. "Kaiba! Do you know where Jounochi is?"

"No, I lost him around here." The CEO looked around before freezing as a dark figure leaped overhead. Everyone else saw it too, Yami and Bakura materializing.

"I don't like the feel of this…" Yami muttered. "It feels like an akuma but I still have full access to my Shadow magic…"

"Idiot Pharaoh's right… this doesn't feel normal." Bakura muttered. He summoned his dark magic and it took the form of a sword. Yami followed quickly. Adrien and Marinette ducked away to transform just as he appeared before them.

He was dressed in all black, the fabric sticking out slightly hinting at what looked to be scales- specifically Dragon scales. It continued to around his neck, signaling where his t-shirt had just ended, along with his sleeves. The dog tag was still around his neck, but instead of silver it blended perfectly with his clothes, making it look invisible. In his right hand was a scepter with a fireball hovering over the top, just outlining his face. A black, dragon-shaped hat with red eyes rested on top of his blonde hair, almost like a helmet. His eyes, which used to be a honey color, were now a bright, but dull looking red. He stared at each of them blankly before aiming his staff at them.

"I am Rememorator." He said in a monotone voice. "Prepare to take a trip down memory lane."

"Jou?" Yugi asked, worried. "How- why do you speak french now? What happened to you?"

"That shouldn't be your concern." Rememorator said as his scepter began to glow red and orange- like a fire. "And my name's Rememorator." A shot of fire was aimed at Yugi and Yami blocked it with his sword with ease, bouncing it away into the depths of the shadow realm that now surrounded them. Adrien and Marinette, now Ladybug and Cat Noir, were spinning their weapons around in a circle while trying to distinguish where the akuma on Rememorator was. The next shot that was fired Bakura stopped from hitting Ryou. Unfortunately, that distracted him long enough for both him and Ryou to be hit by a second and third shot. They froze after being hit, eyes open, but showing that they weren't exactly there.

"Ryou! Bakura!" Yugi and Malik shouted as Marik finally decided to separate. He looked just like Malik, only his wild hair was sticking up all over the place, and his eyes a shade darker- and insaner. Malik and Yugi ran over to Ryou and Bakura, trying to wake therm up. But, when they touched them, they were able to see what they had seen.

"Don't get hit!" Yugi shouted when she was done. "It'll make you relive your best and worst memories over and over again!" Yami froze at that before he shook his head. Rememorator shot a few more times and they were all blocked by either Marik, Yami, Ladybug, or Cat Noir. Seto had tried to awhile ago, but eventually discovered that the balls could phase through objects, almost hitting him.

"I can't see the akumatized object!" Ladybug called out in vain. "And I'm getting tired."

"That would be the shadow realm." Yami said. "I was shielding you last time, but with so much going on I haven't been able too. You will feel your energy drain from you- I was hoping you being in suit would stop it for a longer amount of time."

"And you decide to tell us that now?!"

"Calm down." Yugi muttered. "I'm his light and it affects even me."

"Just Chill, I'll go on defence." Marik, surprisingly, volunteered. He stopped attacking and blocking and began to focus on shielding everyone. That is, until he was shot. Both he and Malik froze, looking just like Bakura and Ryou.

"Marik!"

"So if you're hit, Yugi will technically be hit too." Ladybug muttered to Yami, avoiding another shot. "We have to stop him. Now."

"I don't think so." Rememorator said as darkness consumed his presence. "I will get your Miraculous. For now, I am content." When Rememorator disappeared, so did the essence of the Shadow Realm.

"This isn't good." Yami said, taking control of Yugi's body to let her rest. Bakura, Marik, Malik, and Ryou remained frozen.

"How can he get akumatized anyway?" Ladybug asked, allowing herself to detransform, Adrien following. "I thought you guys couldn't get akumatized?"

"That's what we thought, because our magic neutralizes each other." Yami said. "Now Jou's gone to Ra knows where and doing Ra knows what."

"What we need is a plan." Marinette said after a moment, glancing at the four frozen people. "And get these guys to Fu. It wouldn't do for people to see them."

"Marinette!" Alya, Chloe, and Nino ran up to them. "Thank goodness, we were scared for a moment, what is going on?! We went to follow your signal after the akuma appeared and it led us to the big black mass that you were in- and we couldn't enter!"

"That's the shadow realm." Yami said. "Come on, we need to get them to Fu's house."

"What happened?" Nino asked. "And… how do we move the spirits?" He attempted to poke Bakura, but his finger went straight through. Chloe touched Ryou in an attempt to pick her up, and Bakura disappeared. Then Bakura seemed to take control of Ryou's body and forced himself out of Chloe's hold.

"Thank you." He snarled. "Now keep your grubby hands off of me. I have to make sure Yadonoshi's alive." He closed his eyes. Alya experimentally touched Malik's body. Marik, very noticeably, took control and was currently pacing and freaking out while staring at his hands.

"Malik-pretty's gone. Where did he go? Hikari-pretty's not responding-"

"Marik." Yami said sternly, placing a hand on the yami's shoulder. "Calm down."

"But if I can't talk to Malik-pretty, then something bad will happen! I can't act like hikari-pretty! What will Ishizu say?" He froze at that thought. "Oh no! She's going to lock me up again when she finds out! I don't want to be away from Malik-pretty! Why won't he answer?!"

"Marik!" Yami snapped. "We'll figure this out, but right now you need to stop pacing so that we can figure out what to do next!"

"Easy for you to say, Baka no Pharaoh!" Bakura snarled. "You're hikari isn't frozen stiff and reliving the worst and best moments of their life over and over and over again!"

"I-"

"SHUT UP!" Marinette shouted, and they all stopped. "I don't know what the flip is going on between you guys, or what happened to Ryou and Malik, but I do know that an akuma is on the loose, and that we need to stop him before he gets himself hurt." She looked around, before turning to face Seto. "Can you please explain to me what you are doing here?"

"I made a deal with Wheeler and I wasn't about to break my promise. When I went to talk to him about it, he ran off." He said vaguely before walking away. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to make sure the pup doesn't go after my little brother." He turned briskly and walked away, toward where Rememorator had gone.

"Idiot Kaiba." Yami muttered under his breath.

"Think that's one of the only things that we all can agree on." Bakura replied, glaring at Yami even as he walked to stand next to the other. "Hate to say this, but I'm pretty sure that the only thing we can do to get Ryou back is to work together." Yami looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"I thought I would have to be the one to suggest it."

"Your hikari's life isn't in danger at the moment. Figured I'd do it." Bakura rolled his eyes. "I know you're gonna want to try the 'let's be good guys' way, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to work."

"Bakura's got a point." Adrien added. "We'll have to be rougher with this akuma. Especially since it's basically a combination of your shadow magic and the powers of the miraculous. Who knows what will happen."

"Then what do you suggest, tomb robber?" Yami asked.

"First, we need to get that idiot back over here-"

"On it." Chloe transformed into Queen Bee and flew after Seto. Nino shortly followed.

"Second, we need to give Ishizu all the information we have-"

"I'm gonna die!" Marik whinned. Bakura rolled his eyes.

"Suck it up- you're a yami for Anubis's sake! And we'll also need to talk to master Fu at the same time. We'll need all of them to work."

"I hope you plan on doing this as a team." Yami said.

"There's no other way. Anything to get Te-" Bakura stopped himself and cleared his throat. "Ryou back." Yami raised an elegant eyebrow, and then rolled his eyes before Bakura held out his hand.

"What do you say, all mighty and powerful Pharaoh?" Bakura half mocked. "Care to join the King of Thieves in his cause?"

"Just this once." Yami said, placing his hand in Bakura's. Shadow magic spiked up their arms, signaling a promise. Whoever broke it would be sent to the shadow realm. A game in itself.

"Wasn't planning it any other way."
