Evil Bakura laughed at the bloodshed in front of him. About ten prisoners were trying to kill each other in the pit, the snarling, hissing, roaring and numerous other Ka sounds mixed with the screams of the prisoners and echoed around the entire underground pit.
Kisara kept crying, the pained screams echoing around in her skull. Even the man she had spoken to earlier had been taken away.
A soft blue light emanated from her. The legendary blue dragon was reacting to her sorrow. Her long blue hair floated softly in the glowing light. The light grew brighter and brighter before Kisara opened her mouth and roared.
The light swirled around her, shooting upwards, forcing a hole in the ceiling of the prison.
Kisara stood up and spread her arms.
The dragon manifested, it's powerful roar echoing throughout the stone corridors, causing the ceiling to shake. Dust rained down as the dragon spread it's wings, the huge wingspan brushing against the walls of the prison.
Reaching down, the shining blue dragon picked up Kisara, before shooting a ferocious burst of hot blue flame at the bars. They melted in the merciless heat.
Sounds of running echoed in the stone corridor.
The dragon turned, now free and holding a half conscious Kisara in it's strong grip.
Evil Bakura appeared, followed by Aknadin who had a strange evil aura around him, growing stronger every second.
Evil Bakura collected all the absorbed power from Ka who had won their pit fights and shot it at the dragon, the black fire full of malice and hate. Unleashing a mighty roar, the blue dragon countered, with a blue burst of fire, full of light and power.
The two raging fires pushed against each other before the dragon's side won and blasted Evil Bakura and Aknadin against a wall.
Evil Bakura was only winded, while Aknadin passed out. The angered spirit tried going for another shot at the dragon but it shot upwards, blasting a hole in the ceiling and flying out.
Evil Bakura looked up at the ceiling, seeing sun shine down through the hole. With his rage building, Evil Bakura screamed.
"SHIT!"
Black fire shot out of him, racing widly around and tearing the underground building apart. His long white hair flew widly in the air, and his enraged brown eyes were so filled with anger that they glowed red for a second.
Atem stormed down the hallways, shouting orders at anyone he saw.
"You! Go guard Seto!
You! Go take up position by Isis! If she must keep observing Mahado, that's fine. Don't let her pass out!
You! Take several guards and surround the perimeters of the palace!
You! Grab Kalim and Shada! With the other priests out of commission right now, they are the only ones available!" Pausing to take a breath, one of the guards spoke.
"What about Shimon? He may not be a priest anymore, but he still holds quite a bit of power."
Atem nodded. "Very well!"
Shocked whispers sounded behind him and the Pharoah turned, seeing Seto running up to meet them. Atem was just about to send the priest back to his room but the stubborn man talked over him.
"Don't even think about it! I'm helping the rest of you and you will not stop me!"
Atem, having no time to argue, agreed. "Very well. You can work with the other priests to summon your strongest Ka's. We need to be ready!"
Just as he finished speaking, a rumble sounded, shaking the entire palace, even the earth itself.
Black fog poured out of the crumbling building in Kul Elna, shooting through the air. A roar full of pure chaos blasted out of the building. A huge shadowed hand broke through the earth, swiping the air.
The tormented spirits in the village swirled around in the air, screaming and shouting.
A pulse of incredible chaos and madness reverberated through the air. Suddenly, six Millennium items shone all at the same time.
Kalim blinked, the Millennium Scales he was holding were tilting madly, sensing the evil presence.
Shada stared at the Millennium Key. It was trembling, the gold metal vibrating in his hand. "W-wha..."
Isis flinched, as visions raced in her mind, the Millennium Tauk glowing with tremendous light. Tears raced down Isis's cheeks.
(Isis's visions)
A slice sounded in the air, before a vision of Mahado was seen, his form falling away into nothingness.
A huge golden brown monster in chains rose out of the ground, punching a huge dark form. The dark monster ripped off one of the other monster's arms. It bled, and a vision was seen of Shimon collapsing to the ground.
The vision changed to reveal Seto ordering all the soldiers who had set up catapults to fire. A strong blue light was above him. It was revealed to be the legendary white dragon blasting the dark form with all it's fury. The dark form grabbed the dragon, tearing it in half, the dragon screeching before turning to stone. Seto was knocked down, his form turning to stone.
Then more visions showed up.
The dark enshrouded sky shone with a holy light, before a large golden form shaped like a Phoenix screeched, it's mighty call echoing across the sky.
Then a large red dragon flew over the palace before colliding with the dark form, curling around it and blasting yellow fire at the form.
Then suddenly, the ground split open, before a large blue form rose out of the ground, realeasing a mighty war cry, using it's massive fists to punch the dark form.
A quick vision of a bloodied and exhausted Pharoah flashed, before darkness covered everything.
(End of Isis's visions.)
Isis cried out, falling from her bed and trembling on the ground, the Millennium Tauk still glowing.
Seto's Millennium Rod shone brightly, the golden rod vibrating with power. Seto gasped as a vision of a Kisara and her dragon was seen. "Kisara!" He yelled.
Mahado stared with fear as his Millennium Ring clattered against his chest. The golden pointers were pointing in every direction.
Mahado narrowed his eyes.
"I have to hurry!"
He dashed off, a ruined building with furious dark fire swirling around it in the distance.
Ipiria had long since vanished back into Isis's temple.
Atem cradled the Millennium Puzzle, as it glowed with a hot yellow light. The forbidding pulse of chaos once again reverberated through the palace.
"Are we too late?!" Asked Atem to no one in particular.
Seto turned towards him. "No! As long as we are still alive we have a chance!"
Atem nodded. "Right! Everyone get ready! Those I have ordered go do your assigned jobs! All the available priests follow me to the temples! We must summon all our strongest Ka!"
Everyone scatterd, and the priests followed Atem out of the palace, even Isis who snuck out of her room and followed them.
Shimon, after a moment, went after them, closing his eyes for a second.
'Oh thy forbidden one. I must call upon your aid once again! Rise and defend our city and home!' An answering roar of power echoed through the earth.
Suddenly, the screech of a dragon sounded. Seto glanced up with joy to see the white dragon approaching him, Kisara in it's grasp.
Seto yelled at the dragon, catching it's attention.
"Kisara! Mighty dragon! Over here!"
Kisara answered him. "Seto! We don't have much time!"
The tall priest nodded.
Atem turned to face everyone. "You heard her! Everyone! Let's get to work!"
A rallying cry echoed through the ranks as everyone ran off to their respected temples. The dragon followed Seto, after putting Kisara on the ground.
Evil Bakura whipped around to face Aknadin. "Get up you lazy bastard!"
Aknadin heard him and got up.
Evil Bakura grabbed his face, injecting dark powers into the man. Aknadin screamed in pain as his soul was burdened with the darkest hatred and powers. Evil Bakura smirked.
"Now! Go and kill Seto! Then, bring him back under your powers! The Pharoah shall not have his way!"
Aknadin cackled.
"Yes M'lord!"
He blasted a hole into the already ruined building and dashed off.
A shout was heard. Evil Bakura walked out of the hole, seeing a dusty and angry magician. "Oh. It's you."
Mahado screamed at him.
"BAKURA! FIGHT ME NOW!"
Evil Bakura laughed at him. "Why should I?"
Mahado raised his staff, and shot a crackling bolt of lighting at the spirit. Evil Bakura ducked, but felt a sharp tingle run through him as a volt hit him.
He chuckled. "Must we do it here?"
Mahado turned and stalked off, looking over his shoulder.
"You. Will. Follow. Me. Now." He commanded.
Evil Bakura gave him a lopsided grin. "Fine. But just so you know, I have already sent Aknadin after Seto. Your friends are about to receive a shocking betrayal."
Mahado trembled with anger.
"You bastard!"
Evil Bakura laughed, his laugh full of malice.
Mahado's eyes glowed purple as a purple aura radiated off him. "BAKURA!"
