Chapter 8: Ancient Past I

Everyone face had turned to Ishizu and Shadi except for Yami Bakura. His eyes were closed thinking about something. He was giving his cold smile and gave a soft dark cold laugh. Joey's eyes fixed on Bakura wondering what he was thinking of, but whatever he was thinking of, Joey didn't want to find out and put his eyes backed Ishizu. Yami Yugi was waiting for Ishizu and Shadi to speak, but in his mind…he couldn't believe what he heard from Aeru.

:Flashback:

"Atem. Shame on you that you forgot your own brother, hahahaha. You'll know the truth sooner or never," laughed Aeru.

:End of Flashback:

"5,000 years ago," said Ishizu, "Pharaoh Atem ruled Egypt. His father, the previous pharaoh Akunumkanon made Atem took his place as pharaoh of Egypt before he passed away. But Aeru, the brother of Atem was upset that his younger brother would rule Egypt and not him. He was older, stronger than Atem, he wanted to rule Egypt and carry his father's Millennium Puzzle. Aeru challenged Atem into a Ka duel. Back then, they used stones as cards my friends, but I'm sure you knew that."

"Not me," said Joey raising his hand up in the air.

"Me too," said Tristan raising his hand up in the air also.

Everyone looked at Joey and Tristan. Serenity felt so embarrassed that her big brother didn't know that. She was covering her face with hands so no one would see her face.

"What," said Joey with a confused face, "Sumthin I said?"

Everyone shook their head and then turned their face back to Ishizu.

"Well…that was weird," said Ishizu blinking at Joey and Dristan, "Anyways, Aeru challenged Atem into a duel. Each one of them had a monster to play. Atem used the Dark Magician as his monster against Aeru and Aeru used a monster called TerrorKing Archfiend. The fought with enormous strength and Pharaoh Atem had one the duel. Atem had made Aeru leave the city of Egypt and disappeared into the desert. During his travels, he found a pyramid. Aeru had gone inside the pyramid. It was far away the Egypt of City…and there, is when Aeru found the dark puzzle…"

"Then what happen," asked Tea. Yami Yugi wanted to know also, but he had a feeling that was it, for now.

"The rest I do not know," said Ishizu looking down at the ground, "I only saw the vision when I still had the Millennium Necklace."

"Pharaoh," said Shadi now facing Yami, "This is it, but you'll soon the rest. I have a strong feeling that you might be the one…"

"The one," said Duke with a confused face, "What the heck is 'The One?"

"The Pharaoh will know soon and so will Yugi," said Shadi now getting up, "Now is the time Pharaoh for a test."

"A test," asked Yami also getting up, "And what that be?"

"Oh this is just great," yelled Pegasus with excitement, "A test! It's just like a game, but better, hahaha!"

"I challenge you to a duel Pharaoh," said Shadi pointing at him, "Accept my challenge or back down Pharaoh?"

"I accept Shadi," said Yami getting shuffling his deck, "But why do you want to duel me?"

"If you win, you earn something," said Shadi, "But if you fail…you are not worthy to be Pharaoh and you do not have the right to earn the god cards and the Millennium Items!"
