Chapter 8- Revenge of the gods
"You bastard! I don't know what the hell you are, but you're going to pay for all this!" Wong shouted.
"Really? I would love to see you try." Yugi said. His hands started to glow, and a moment later, two gold Sais appeared in his hands.
Yami was beyond confused.
"Yami, stay with Heba. Use your magic if you need to in order to protect him." Yugi said.
Somehow, Yami got the feeling that that was an order, not a request, and at that point, Yami wasn't about to contradict him.
"Kill her! Him! Whatever it is!" Wong shouted.
Three men charged forward at Yugi.
Yugi blocked a sword with his Sais and forced the man back. He ducked and then kicked a man in the chest, towing the man backwards. Two came at him from each side, but Yugi jumped up out of the way, and the two men ended up impaling the other with their swords before they both fell to the ground. The third man got back up and ran toward Yugi again. Yugi moved to the side out of the path of the sword before he turned and kicked the man in the face, easily breaking his neck.
With cold eyes, Yugi looked at Wong, Aman, and Vivian.
The three traitors were terrified. The men that they had hired to help them were trained mercenaries. They had been through some of the worst fights and killed for anyone. The fact that these mercenaries were being taken down like they were flies scared the three.
"I see that you're scared. You should be." Yugi said.
"Like we'd ever be scared of a bastard like you!" Aman shouted before charging forward at Yugi.
Yugi ducked out of the way before he turned and kicked Aman hard in the stomach, sending Aman crashing back into a stone statue that was in the room.
Aman groaned at blood rushed from his head.
Yugi had made sure that he didn't hit the man hard enough to kill him.
Wong went at Yugi from behind, thinking he could catch Yugi off guard. Yugi turned and blocked the sword with his Sais.
"I'm not stupid. I don't let my guard down to an enemy, especially one who cares so little about human life that he would murder a baby and kill the Royal family because his slutty daughter wants something she can't have." Yugi said.
Before Wong could comment, Yugi rammed his knee into Wong's stomach and then brought his fist up, hitting Wong so hard in the chin that he landed flat on his back.
"What are you waiting for?! Get him!" Vivian screamed at the mercenaries.
The mercenaries abandoned those that they had held captive to go and attack Yugi.
"Yami, let's get over to the magicians." Heba said.
"Why?" Yami asked.
"One, I don't want to be caught in the line of fire while Yugi's fighting. Two, Dark Magician Girl has my son." Heba replied.
"Good enough for me." Yami said, helping Heba up.
The two quickly made their way over to where the two magicians were.
"Lord Heba. Prince Yami. Are both of you all right?" Dark Magician asked.
"We're fine." Yami replied.
Dark Magician Girl handed the baby over to Heba, who took the child gladly.
The baby, who had been crying, stopped crying, as if he knew who was holding him.
"Thank goodness. I was scared for him." Heba said.
"He's fine. We got here just in time." Dark Magician said.
A loud crash caught their attention.
Yugi ducked as a mercenary tried to strike him and then Yugi rammed one of his Sais forward right into the mercenary's stomach. Another mercenary grabbed Yugi from behind, but Yugi twisted out of the man's grip and then kicked the man so hard in the chest that he slammed right into the wall, but the force of the kick is what had killed him. Two more came at Yugi, but Yugi blocked each strike and then went forward, easily knocking the swords out of the men's hands before he knocked them both out.
Wong, who had recovered, grabbed a sword and ran at Yugi.
Yugi blocked the sword easily and held the man's gaze. "Some people are just too stubborn to know when they are beaten, and you seem to be one of them." Yugi said. He forced Wong's sword up and then rammed his self into Wong, throwing Wong backwards.
Vivian had taken a dagger and ran at Yugi from behind, thinking that she could ram the dagger into his back to end this.
Yugi, in a split second, had both Sais in one hand and whirled around to grab Vivian's wrist and stop the dagger.
Vivian's eyes widened in shock and fear.
"You have to be the one I hate the most, and I am most certainly not letting you off so easily." Yugi said. He brought a hand across and backhanded Vivian so hard across the face that Vivian was thrown right to the ground.
"You bastard!" Wong cried.
Yugi turned and easily blocked the sword that Wong had brought at him. "You are getting on my last nerve!" Yugi shouted. He forced Wong's sword up before he punched Wong so hard in the face that Wong slammed into the ground with a loud crash.
Wong groaned, knowing he couldn't get up.
With all the mercenaries dealt with, Yugi knew that the battle was over.
Aknankanon and the others stood shocked at what they had seen.
"I don't believe it." Aknankanon said.
"How can one person handle so many without getting as much as a scratch on him?" Seth asked.
"Remind me never to make him mad." Bakura added.
Yugi walked forward and kicked the sword out of Wong's reach. "A word of advice. You really shouldn't cross the Pharaoh the wrong way. It angers the gods." Yugi said.
Wong glared. "How would you know?!" Wong spat.
Yugi smirked. "I'm nowhere near normal. I am very different." Yugi said.
There was the sound of clapping.
Yugi turned and smiled at who he saw standing there.
Someone no one had ever seen stood there, but there was a glow around him.
It was then that it hit them.
It was the god Set!
"So, did you enjoy watching, Set?" Yugi asked.
Set smirked. "You know I did. You were my star pupil when I trained you in the art of fighting, Yugi. I see that me teaching you was no in vain, although I do think that you needed more of a challenge. These mortals couldn't be a real match for you." Set said.
Yugi smiled at him. "No, they weren't. You're a much better match." Yugi replied.
Seeing Yugi distracted, Wing tried to reach for a sword that had fallen near where he lay from when Yugi had defeated one of the mercenaries earlier.
Yugi's foot suddenly slammed down onto Wong's wrist. There was a sickening crack, and a cry of pain from Wong. Yugi had broken his wrist from stepping on it.
"Wong, don't you know when you're defeated. There's no way that you could possibly win now, so just don't bother trying anymore." Yugi said.
Set laughed. "Stubborn fool." Set said.
"Set, that's not nice." a female voice said.
Everyone looked to see Ma'at, the goddess of truth and justice, appear.
"Like I care? You know better than anyone that what they did was wrong. They deserved to be attacked like that." Set said.
"I wasn't referring to Yugi. He was justified. You weren't." Ma'at said.
"Could we not get into this right now?" Yugi asked.
"Of course not, Yugi. Although there's someone a bit more angry than you heading here. I don't believe he enjoyed the fact that his son was mistreated by these ignorant fools." Ma'at said.
"Uh-oh." Yugi said.
Heba knew what that meant. "Well, I think that Wong and Vivian have just learned that they screwed themselves over." Heba said.
"Why do you say that?" Yami asked.
A moment later, the entire room started to shake.
"What the-?!" Atemu exclaimed.
"What the hell?!" Marik exclaimed.
The room was suddenly filled with an incredible amount of light as Ra appeared in the room in his god form.
"How dare you people commit such acts against me and mine?! I will not stand for this any longer!" Ra shouted.
Everyone knew that he was angry.
A second being appeared, the goddess Isis. "Now, Ra. Calm yourself." Isis said.
"Don't start with me! I do not care what anyone says! These mortals have crossed me for the last time!" Ra growled.
Every Egyptian in the room except for Yugi and Heba kneeled down before Ra, scared. Ra had never appeared to them before, and they didn't know what to make of the current situation.
"I know what these people have done, but you don't need to act like this. Your temper is getting the best of you." Isis said calmly.
"I don't care if my temper is getting the best of me! I won't have my own son treated like this by mortals whose only thought is power." Ra snapped.
"Father!" Yugi shouted.
Ra turned and said, "What, Yugi?"
"Would it be possible for you and Mother to take on your human forms? I believe that you are scaring them." Yugi said, gesturing to where Aknankanon and the others were bowing.
"A good point, my son." Ra agreed.
A moment later, Isis and Ra had taken on their human forms.
Ra turned and said, "Set. Ma'at. You two go on back."
A moment later, Set and Ma'at left.
"Pharaoh, you and your court have no more need to bow." Ra said.
Hesitantly, all the Egyptians got onto their feet.
Yami and Heba walked over and joined Yugi.
"You okay?" Heba asked.
"Me? I should be asking you that, given all that you have been through." Yugi said.
Atemu, forgetting that he was in the presence of the gods, ran down the throne and over to where Heba was. "Heba, are you okay? And is the baby okay?" Atemu asked.
"I'm fine, and he is, too. Trust me." Heba said.
"That's good." Atemu said.
The other Egyptians uneasily made their way down the throne, conscious of the fact that Ra and Isis were there.
"You have no need to fear us. We are not here to punish you." Ra said.
Vivian saw that they had lost and got up, trying to get out of the throne before someone noticed her.
In an instant, Yugi was in front of her, startling the girl.
"Going somewhere, Vivian? I believe that you're one of the ones that my father did come here to contend with." Yugi said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Indeed. She is." Ra agreed.
Vivian turned and saw the angry looks that everyone in the room was giving her.
"Shada. Go get some guards." Aknankanon ordered.
"Yes, my Pharaoh." Shada sad before leaving.
Vivian was pale. She knew that she had lost, but she was even more scared at what would happen to he now.
"I believe that you said something about the gods not being willing to do anything to you for all that you have done. You are wrong. We are very willing to do something to you. However, we won't. Yet." Ra said. He turned to Aknankanon and said, "Pharaoh, they are living in the realm of the living, therefore they are yours to contend with as you please. However, I trust that they will be punished in a way that they will not be able to cause more trouble for anyone ever again."
"Of course, lord Ra. They will not get away with all that they have done." Aknankanon assured him.
"Although I think Yugi dealt with them for the most part." Bakura said/
"I only killed the mercenaries, Bakura. They would kill anyone for a price. They've committed so many acts that there's no way to count the number. I left Vivian, Wong, and Aman alive because the Pharaoh has the right to deal with them as he sees fit." Yugi said.
Shada returned with the guards.
"Take the three that are left alive to the dungeons. They are all under arrest for treason as well as other crimes. Guard them constantly. If they escape, it will be your heads." Aknankanon said.
"Yes, Pharaoh." the guards said.
"Burn the dead bodies. They are of no use to us." Aknankanon said.
The guards bowed.
"We should go to the Meeting Room." Aknankanon said.
"Pharaoh, I know that there is a lot to be explained." Yugi turned to priestess Isis and said, "Isis, you should take Heba and the baby to the healing chambers to make sure they are all right."
"Yugi, I'm fine." Heba argued.
"Heba, you gave birth around people who didn't give a damn about you. We need to make sure that you are all right as well as your son, so don't fight on this. I am more than strong enough that I can force you to the healing chambers." Yugi said.
Heba groaned. "Fine." Heb agreed.
Isis led Heba out with the baby, and Atemu went along.
"Shall we wait in the Meeting Room for them?" Ra asked.
"One second." Yugi said. He turned and said, "Mana! Get out here! I know that you're in here!"
A second later, Mana and Ishizu came from one of the furthest statues.
"Ishizu! What are you doing in here?! You know that you're not supposed to be in here!" Mahado scolded.
"I know, Father." Ishizu said, looking down.
Yugi walked over to them. "Mana, I have told you time and time again that you aren't supposed to be in here if we tell you not to be in here." Yugi said.
"I know." Mana said, looking down as well.
"Normally, I would punish you for this disobedience, but I won't this one time." Yugi said/
Mana looked up. "You aren't?" Mana asked.
"No. I know that you're the one that summoned Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl here, and if you hadn't the baby would have been killed. That is the only reason that you're getting out of punishment. Next time, I throw the book at you." Yugi said.
"Okay." Mana said. Her eyes brightened and said, "Father!" She ran over to Ra, who picked her up.
"Hello, angel." Ra said with a smile on his face.
"Ishizu, we'll talk about this later." Mahado said.
"Yes, Father." Ishizu said.
"Mana, why don't you and Ishizu go play while we talk." Yugi said.
"Can't we listen?" Mana asked.
"No. This isn't something for young ones." Yugi said.
"He's right. Now go." Mahado said.
The two young girls left the room.
"She'll be the death of me yet." Mahado muttered.
"Now, we should go to the Meeting Room." Yugi said.
The entire group left the room as the guards led Vivian, Aman, and Wing out, the only survivors. Other guard were getting the dead bodies out of the room.
