Yami's POV
My puzzle is sensing a dark presence
"Pharaoh" Shimon said running out
"What is it?"
"One of our villages along the Nile was attacked moments ago"
"What?"
"One of the sanctuary's"
"But whose?"
"Ahknadin's" Shimon paused. "Theres only one person whos capable of an act of treason"
"Bakura"
Bakura tried to escape on his horse and I went after him on my horse. I couldn't take his crap anymore and summoned Slifer the Sky Dragon. Bakura said that the ultimate shadow game was about to begin and he should prevail.
"Bakura stop cowering and face up for what you have done."
Cassie's POV
We fell asleep outside the palace until the gates finally opened as the pharaoh chased Bakura on horseback, accompanied by the monster Diabound and Slifer the Sky Dragon respectively.
"This sort of thing used to freak me out, but now… Nothin" Tristan said
"Come on we have to help" Yugi said
"Way ahead of you" I said starting to run
3rd person POV looking over Ahknadin
I know all of your secrets. I know what you did at Kul Elna. These events may have occurred 15 long years ago but time doesn't heal all wounds Bakura's voice said
Flashback
"My pharaoh we've lost our stronghold to the north and the enemy continues to march towards the capitol" The guard said
"With our remaining army's how much longer can we withstand" Aknamkanon said
"Perhaps a week"
"So this is the end."
"This conflict would not only decide the fate of our country but the fate of the entire world." Ahknadin said. "If we were allow the enemy to advance much closer they might gain the Millennium spell book"
"They must not succeed. It is said that whoever deciphers the book's ancient texts would be able to control a power known only by the Egyptian Gods themselves".
"Yes perhaps we can tap that power too."
"We've been through this before Ahknadin. No one has been able to decode it."
"That's not true sir, we've had a breakthrough."
"What are you saying that you've decoded the book"
"Not quite, I've deciphered one spell. It's a ritual that allows the spell caster to form to forge 7 mystical treasures. These Millennium items could eliminate Egypt's invaders, and bring tranquility to the realm once again.
"Just how long will it take?"
"According to the book, 7 days. Fortunately I have already started with the shadow magic necessary to do so."
"If it will bring peace. Then do so. Go forward and create the 7 millennium items in the name of Egypt. The fate of the work rests with you my brother."
Ahknadin abandoned his son Seto and his wife for fear his actions would later cause criminals to target them, as well as to shield them from prejudice. Ahknadin led a group of soldiers to the village of Kul Elna, where he ordered the thieves there killed, and their blood collected for the ritual to create the items. The only survivor of this slaughter was Bakura. The slaughter was so horrific that Ahknadin never told his brother of it, and had all the soldiers he had taken brainwashed so as to forget the incident.
Ahknadin succeeded in crafting the Millennium items, but a chasm opened in the chamber where the ritual has taken place. Zorc Necrophades (same thing as Zorc the Dark One) rose from the chasm and ensnared Ahknadin, presumably to kill him. Ahknadin gouged out his eye and placed the Millennium Eye into the socket, using its magic to protect himself and repel Zorc. On the journey back to the palace, all the soldiers but Ahknadin fell, and only he survived. Upon the invading army's attack, Ahknadin, his brother and five other priests used the Millennium Items to hold them at bay and defeat them.
Ahknadin would later remain a member of the Sacred Court after his brother sacrificed himself and his son took the throne. Ahknadin also witnessed his son Seto's rise to power as the High Priest and holder of the Millennium rod. Ahknadin was amazed his son had made his way from peasant to priest despite him abandoning him, and spent all his spare time training Seto, although he never told him they were related.
End Flashback
Yami's POV
As Bakura and I were riding, his Diabound attacked me, using one of Dark Magician's moves.
"Diabound steals the ability of its defeated enemies." Bakura said "And that one came courtesy of Mahad"
"That cant be? Slifer, Lightning Blast"
"Sorry Pharaoh. But you're not in the clear yet."
Bakura's Diabound appeared out of nowhere and almost attacked me, but Slifer protected me and striked back.
"No. You'll pay for that."
"You forgot who you're dealing with."
"You seem to forget this isn't one of your little card games. In this arena I have the advantage. Diabound destroy the city."
"No."
"Make way for his majesty"
Bakura's monster attacked the city, and almost attacked 2 children. But Slifer took the hit and protected them.
"No harm shall come upon the people of my kingdom. Slifer, attack."
Cassie's POV
"Whoa those are definitely not holograms." Tristan said looking at this ball of light
"Ummm I really don't think so." I said
Yami's POV
"I refuse to let you put the city in anymore danger. Slifer take this fight to the skies"
Bakura's monster turned invisible, causing it to confuse me. He said that his monster has the ability to move in the shadows.
"When the gods are attacked and feel pain, so do you. Now, how shall I finish this battle? Just hand over your Millennium puzzle to make it simple."
I took off the puzzle, just to distract him. It may just work so I can use this to attack.
"Now get off your horse and kneel before me. I command you." He started laughing
"Slifer now. Call off your Diabound and I will call off my attack."
"Never. Two can play at this game, just look behind you"
His monster was right behind me, ready to strike. I was scared. Bakura called his monster to attack, but it was unsuccessful.
"Hold on, that's Seto's creature"
"Hold on Pharaoh. We shall save thee" Seto said
Seto called his monster to attack again, but Bakura called his monster off and fled.
"What a coward" Seto said
"Dont be fooled. Bakura's retreat may be an attempt to lead us into a trap."
"Captain have your men follow him. Evacuate all civilians to the palace court yard."
Cassie's POV
"There's no sign of the Pharaoh anywhere" I said
"Look up there" Yugi said, pointing
"Oh look its Slifer" I said. "What the fuck."
Yami's POV
Seto used his monster to track down Bakura. Karim summoned one of his monsters to help Seto and Slifer. Out of nowhere, an attack came out of the skies, hitting Karim's monster.
"Karim" I shouted
"If we are to defeat him you must stand tall" Seto said
Karim said that we do not know when or where his monster will attack. I started to ride off, Seto and Karim followed. Bakura has become more powerful than I thought. I called on Slifer to seek and destroy.
"Lets finish this"
I told Slifer to attack when I saw Bakura's monster about to attack. But for some reason the attack failed and his monster's attack was successful. Slifer disappeared causing some of my life points to disappear.
"Its up to you Seto."
"Duo's, Aura sword" Seto said
"Good work"
"You think you destroyed him? Not even close."
When Bakura's monster appeared, it wasn't Diabound. It was another monster. We were all in shock. I had no energy to summon another monster. Everything started going blurry and I passed out.
"Pharaoh" Seto yelled
Cassie's POV
We ran after them and finally caught up with the pharaoh after he fell off his horse following Slifer's defeat. We were happy to find that the pharaoh could see them, as he asked Yugi in surprise if it was really him.
"Im glad you're okay" Yugi said
"Yeah."
"You guys need to get out of here. Its too dangerous"
"Ha no. We've come too far to turn back. We've been through so much shit already" I said
"She's right" Yugi said. "We're a team"
By taking the pharaoh's hand, Yugi was able to give him some of his strength, enabling him to summon The Winged Dragon of Ra to battle Bakura's Diabound.
"Shit just got serious. Ra's on the field"
Bakura had no idea how the Pharaoh was able to pull off what he just did. He called an attack on Ra, but failed and Ra was protected by Seto's monster. The pharaoh called upon Ra to transform into its better form and was successful in getting rid of Bakura's monster.
"I take it you just won?" Joey said
"Yes." He said smiling. "Couldn't have done it without you."
"Well you did all the work" Yugi said
"You gave me the strength to do it." Yami said putting his hand out.
We all jumped in on this and put our hands in.
"All for one and one for all." Tristan said
"Hell yeah" I said
"How did I not see this coming" Joey said
"Nothing could separate us." I said. "No matter what happens."
"Bobasa is touched" Bobasa said.
But that's when things started to change. Time started to flow backwards. Joey, Tristan, Yugi and the rest of us started getting pulled by the winds. I didn't care, I grabbed Joey's legs when I fell to the ground.
But it didn't last long. We got swopped up and transported out of the area.
"YUGI" Yami screamed
"Fuck this shit" I said
Yami's POV
"YUGI" I screamed
"Fuck this shit" Cassie said
"To pick up where I left off." Bakura said attacking Slifer.
"Pharaoh" Karim said
Bakura laughed.
Cassie's POV
"Is it just me or did we just do this?" Joey said running
"No we did. I don't think it'll be right this time" I said
"Im having some major Déjà vu right now" Tristan said
Yami's POV
"What have you done Bakura" I said, holding back the pain
"Pharaoh." I heard Joey say
"Just look. I brought back some time. Lets try this again."
Bakura's monster attacked me directly, causing the rocks below me to crumble and fall away.
"My king" Karim said
"He's gone" Seto said.
Cassie's POV
Bakura's monster attacked Yami directly, causing the rocks below him to crumble and fall away. We were knocked to the ground because of the shockwaves. I was in shock that we were too late to help.
"It seems like the table's are turned" Bakura said
"What do you want" Yami said
"What's rightfully mine" Bakura said taking the puzzle. "But where you're going you wont need it."
Bakura knocked what was left of the rocks off, which meant the Pharaoh fell. Possibly to his death.
"NO" We screamed.
"This dude is going to get a foot up his ass." I said. "You hear me Bakura. You're going to regret that."
Its not even funny how pissed I got. No one fucks with my friends and gets away with it. Tristan ran up and punched Bakura in the back of the head. It more got him in the face, but it left a bruise. Bakura picked Tristan up and did something. I couldn't help it, ran over and tackled Bakura to the ground. I was tempted to sit on his face, but I didn't.
"You fools you don't know what you're doing"
"Us? I know what the hell I'm doin. Im kicking your ass." I said hearing several horses.
"I thought he was working alone." Tristan said
"You thought wrong." Bakura said
Bobasa appeared again telling us to follow him. We escaped with him, but still unsure about the Pharaoh. Tea worried that the pharaoh may have lost his soul, since he just lost a Shadow Game, but Yugi reminded everyone that the world is built on the pharaoh's memories and since it still existed, he had to be okay. Joey did have a point, everyone we knew who was in a shadow game and lost, also lost their soul.
Shada's POV
Will Bakura's evil rampage ever end? First Mahad was attack and now Master Ahknadin. Please Millennium Key, guide his soul.
Ahknadin wakes up out of nowhere.
"Ahknadin are you alright. Please speak to me"
"Shada have you found any strong spirits." He asked
"Yes as a matter of fact. Seto and I found a young peasant girl whose soul could not be measured."
"It was too strong for the key?"
"Please with all due respect you need your rest."
"Out of my way" He shoved me to the ground.
"Wait master"
Seto's POV
"Where is she?" I said to guard
"I thought you knew? She was taken to the sub terrain battle ground, by Ahknadin." The guard outside her room said
"He did what?"
"Did he say why?" Shada said
"Perhaps I could shed some light on this. Please follow me." This guy said
He brought me to the battle ground. I was in shock. Nothing else I could really say. Several outlaws used their soul monsters to battle each other.
"This cant be." I said
"Let the battle commence" Ahknadin said
"Master Ahknadin has gone mad" I said.
He commanded one of the guys to stop resting and fight. I saw Kisara locked up in a cage. I was in shock that he would do something like this. I started to question Ahknadin why he was doing this. Was it for his own amusement or what. He said he was executing my idea. This wasn't what I had in mind.
"I found a way to make them bigger."
"You will never take me" One of the prisoners said, his soul monster grew bigger.
"Now, I understand that the pharaoh is gone. Don't you think it's time to make the necessary changes."
"The Pharaoh is very much alive. The royal guard is searching for his as we speak."
"Be realistic. The time has come to call for a new Pharaoh. Someone who can save us." He looked at me. "Someone like you Seto. You cannot do it alone."
He went on that he was doing this to create an army stronger than the gods themselves. I was in shock, there has to be something wrong with him. Then he called for the guards to release Kisara. He attempts to test Kisara's immeasurable power by forcing her to fight in a battle against two other prisoners. Seto steps in and saves her, but we fell into danger, causing Kisara to release her inner spirit dragon and save us. Ahknadin was really pissed with my actions tonight, but it was the right thing to do.
Ahknadin then orders me to kill Kisara and extract her Ka, claiming that the tremendous energy and power of the white dragon can surpass the enemy and even the Pharaoh's three gods.
Cassie's POV
The next day, we searched for the pharaoh along the River Nile. We had a feeling he would be somewhere along it. After all he does need food and water. We they found a girl named Mana, who was able to see them and mistook Yugi for the pharaoh. Bobasa found a fish, we kinda yelled at him for that.
"You're supposed to be searching for the Pharaoh." Joey said
"You." She said coming up to me. "You look like Cleo?"
"Im umm… Her sister" I lied
"You're not her sister" Joey said
"Damn it Joey. Cant you keep your mouth shut for once" I said hitting him upside the head.
"You're not supposed to be searching for lunch Bobasa"
"But look what I found" He said turning around
There was a cape on his back. It looked oddly familiar, wait it's the Pharaoh's cape. That means, he's somewhere along the river. Bobasa said he found it floating along the river. Mana realized that Yugi isn't the pharaoh. She quickly learned that they were his friends and joined their search party. The group were about to be attacked by Thief Bakura's men, shortly afterwards but Mana used her magic to raise the river and sweep the attackers away.
Yami's POV
The puzzle, its gone. Its in.. Bakura's hands. Could his words be true? Did my father really bring harm to Egypt? Or did he rule justly and restore peace. I wish I remembered more about him.
Flashback
I was learning how to walk and I was only a few feet from my father when I fell. I started to cry.
"Theres no need to cry my boy." Aknamkanon said
I got back up and continued to walk to him. When I got into his arms I started to cry again.
"Its alright my boy. Everyone falls once in a while. That is what makes us stronger."
Several years later in flashback
"Must I go with you father? I don't like this place. What are we doing here anyway." I said walking behind my father
"This is something you need to witness my boy. Now follow me."
"Why is it so dark in here?"
"You mustn't be afraid. This place is protected by the Egyptian Gods. As long as you show your respects, nothing here will harm you."
"No I wont go any further" We stopped
"This is not a matter of choice" He started walking again
"Father wait."
"Stay close and watch your surroundings."
I was walking too close to the edge and it gave out. I held on and begged for father to help me, but he said I had to do it on my own. I was able to and we continued on. We saw some painting and I questioned who they were.
"Pharaohs before us."
When we got to the end, father kneeled and started praying to the gods that he has committed an evil crime. A crime that lead to the creation of the millennium items and many lives lost. He was truly sorry for this and takes the blame, in turn sparing me from any further punishment.
"Are you alright?" I asked
Lightning starting striking everywhere, scaring me. My father said that I would be safe now
End Flashback
I remember now. He surrendered his own safety to save me.
When I opened my eyes there was this figure there. I asked him who he was.
"I am he who is known as Hassan. I have come to warn you of an impending doom. Zorc the dark one will soon awakin"
"Who is he?"
"The embodiment of pure darkness"
"Please tell me what I can do"
"When the time comes, you will know" He disappeared
I was shocked that he was gone. I stood up and walked outside. Everyone else had to know what was going to happen.
