Ch. 4 Hondo's Past

June 4, 2005 1:26 PM

Liam walked down the road, but it's was Hondo walking.

'Umm, I know your possessing me, but can I at least know who you are and what you want with me? I mean what do I have to do with your plans, whatever they are,' Liam thought to Hondo.

"Hm. I guess I can tell you that, after all it wouldn't change anything." Liam was confused at Hondo's statement, "under ancient scriptures, if you speak of what I say, you die. If you remove my seal (the card necklace), my soul will go back to it, but I'll take your soul with me, so I can trust that you'll be able to keep a secret. Right Liam?"

'Yes, um. Who are you? What do you want?'

"Well. I am Hondo, the Leader of the Ancient Egyptian Mesha*. I possessed you to get to someone important to me. I didn't possess you on purpose though, that's your fault. You wanted to see what card was on the ground and I was in the card to reel you in," Liam and the spirit, Hondo, turned the corner into a less crowded area, "you are foolish enough to pick it up, but than again, how would you know. A spell card with no title nor picture. I guess I understand that you'd never know," Hondo said sarcasticlly. "I am here to finally finish off Pharoh Atem, I hear he's in the Afterlife now, so I need to find away in to so I can get revenge."

'What do you plan on doing?' Liam asked in thought.

"I plan to enslave the Pharoh and tourture him for his foolish ways."

'Hondo, why do you want to do that? What could he have done?'

"When Atem was deemed Pharoh of Egypt, I was just an enrolled soldier. At the time I didn't care about what he was doing, but after several suicide missions, despite we won those wars, we lost men, lot's of men. I was not willing to stand by and let the Pharoh do this. So I ranked up. I became the leader of the Egyptian Mesha faster than anyone else at that time. When I was commander, I set out to build the army the way I wanted; rebels. They'd be loyal to me. I secretly executed the ones still loyal to the Pharoh Atem. I know now I can't kill a dead Pharoh, but all the better I can punish him for all eternity. We set out to kill the Pharoh but I failed when he used a Shadow Game on me. I died by his hand. So close, but I'm not done yet. I will make the Pharoh pay. All I need is a card. A field spell. And I know where I'm getting it." Hondo walked Liam's body right outside Yugi's gameshop.

*Mesha is Egyptian for Army.
