Sakura Lisel and Navaka114 : Both of you called me out for the impracticality of a polyjuice version of Seto. And I agree as you probably know from future chapters with Mokuba but I am hoping I made it a little more convincing this time around. I still can't think of a better solution without kidnapping Mokuba too. Let me know what you think.
Things you need to know:
Yugi and Co. will in general mean Joey, Tristan, Tèa
People allied with Dumbledore: Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, Mundungus Fletcher, Elphias Doge, and Alastor Moody.

Chapter 5
Taken
Mid-December (Thursday)
Atem and Marik were back in Japan for the start of Christmas Break and to Atem and Seto's pleasure Mana and Kisara had been allowed to join them as well. The boys were staying at the Kaiba mansion for the time they were in Japan while the girls were staying with Tèa.
Atem was waiting for Yugi and Co. seeing as school had just let out for the day. A KC limo took them to the Kame Game Shop so Yugi and the others could change out of their school uniforms and get his stuff together since he was not fully packed. Yugi was quite bouncy due to his excitement for Christmas break to begin. They had plans to go with their friends to the new Kaiba-land that was just built in Domino City and then the boys were all spending the night at Kaiba's mansion for a movie night. Yugi was surprised at the inclusion of Joey and Tristan but didn't question Seto's willingness to tolerate them for him.
"Yug, come on man you should have been packed already." Joey whined excited to see the new Kaiba Land.
"You're one to talk. I highly doubt that if you were coming with us you would have been ready." Tèa commented with amusement at her friend's impatience.
"Yea Joey like you would have been ready." Tristan added in. Oh how he loved to get a rise out of his friend.
Atem just smiled at the others playful banter and Yugi's energy. Solomon wanted to spend some time with his longtime friend Arthur Hawkins and thought Christmas vacation was the perfect opportunity so they were leaving for New York tomorrow. Isis, Rishid, and Kaphiri were meeting them there. He and Rebecca had made their peace so he was looking forward to actually spending some time in America and getting to see a part of it.
The young Pharaoh yelled for Yugi to hurry up seeing as they were going to be late. "You know Seto does not like lateness." yelled and impatient Atem.
Everyone said their goodbyes to Grandpa and headed for Kaiba-land to meet up with Seto, Mokuba, Marik, and the girls.
"Sorry we are late guys." Yugi said.
Seto just snorted and listened to Mokuba as he began listing off all the rides he wanted to go on first. Seto of course obliged his little brother. Everyone had a fun afternoon exploring the new park. Even Bakura came out for a few rides in his solid form. Seto even managed not to kill Yugi's friends even though the mutt managed to push a few buttons. At the end of the day the girls said their good-byes when they were dropped off at Tèa's house and all the boys went back to Seto's mansion via a nice limo ride and put Mokuba to bed so they could start their movie night, seeing as it was late and some movies were not appropriate for a twelve year old.
Little did they know their evening was about to be ruined as they settled in. They chatted about America, ate popcorn and made it through one movie before Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Ryou, and Marik were fast asleep. Atem and Seto were vaguely awake watching their second movie.
All of a sudden men in black robes appeared out of nowhere and one with a long white beard and dark purple robes that sparkled with glitter. They quickly grabbed Atem and Seto before they could even react and port-keyed away. Then they grabbed the sleeping boys and also took a port-key to the Headmaster's office. The teens were never given a chance to fight or react. Mundungus was then sent back to take care of the two muggle boys who were transported back to their respective homes with their memories altered. He then proceeded to drop off the enchanted letters to all who were directly involved with the mages.
In Dumbledore's office the five teens were quickly restrained before they could even orient themselves. Once the teens realized what had just happened, the tall teen with cold blue eyes started yelling at their captors.
"What is the meaning of this? Who are you people?" Seto asked in a cold and deadly tone. Seto's rage was at an all-time high. He had no idea where they were or if Mokuba was alright.
[Neo-magic users? questioned Atem with confusion coursing through their links as he saw the wizards holding wands.]
[They seem to be. It is still weaker than ours but we are at a severe disadvantage. grumbled Bakura sleepily as he quickly took over and assessed their situation.]
[Look over there. That's the guy that asked us to attend that school. Yugi observed while staring at Moody.]
"My name is Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and this is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the school in which you five refused our generous offer to attend. These are my associates nodding to the few others in the room. We have brought you here because this country is about to go into war and an evil Dark Lord is after you five due to the fact that you practice a different and powerful branch of magic than wizards do called shadow magic." Albus said calmly.
"So let me get this straight, you somehow know of shadow magic and that we wield it, your dark lord is after us, and you felt it necessary to kidnap us!?" growled a pissed off Atem who struggled against the bindings.
"Well yes that about sums it up. We cannot allow the dark lord to gain access to you or your shadow magic. We will do whatever it takes for the greater good. You will willing or not become 5th year students here for the remainder of the year. When there is no longer a threat we will release you. We will provide all the supplies, in fact we have them already here for you except your wands. We will have to get them. Your magic will work here but due to some devices I have it will limit the use of your powers and exhaust you to even do the simplest of your spells and leave you weakened for quite some time." Dumbledore explained.
"You dare think you can keep us here. Weakening of our powers will not prevent us from not walking right out the door." said a venomous Bakura.
[He assumes we are the only shadow mages. Thank Ra for that, Seto said.]
[Yes the others are safe for now. Atem replied.]
[They must not discover the Millennium Items and what they do to our powers. stated Yugi]
[Indeed, we need to make sure they think they are nothing more than mere trinkets. agreed Marik]
[They cannot discover the true depth of your powers either Pharaoh. It would make you a tempting prize. Bakura said darkly.]
Dumbledore continued having no clue he interrupted a mental conversation between the mages. "To answer your question…Professor Snape if you would..." Dumbledore said.
Snape pulled out five thin gold bracelets and walked towards the teens looking slightly hesitant. "Please attach them to our guests." Dumbledore encouraged.
"Yes Headmaster." Snape replied.
"These will keep you from leaving the castle grounds under any circumstances and only I have the key to unlock them. Snape tossed a bracelet to Moody to put it on the short spiky haired teen, one to Lupin to put on the violet eyed Egyptian and he put the other three on the other struggling teens.
"What do you know of our magic? How did you find us?" demanded a livid Marik stunned at the immediate feeling of his powers being blocked from him.
"Ah yes well you see a curse breaker from our world discovered that some unknown ancient magic still existed in Egypt and told us that those of Ancient Egyptian decent could wield this magic. He learned most of his information from the museum in Cairo and from his digs. You three he pointed to Seto, Atem, and Yugi were quite easy for him to discover seeing as he met two of you on Halloween and you look like your ancestors on the ancient tablets. Then a spy found out about you boys because the Dark Lord somehow found out about your magic and confirmed our suspicions. Seeing as he is a dark wizard along with his followers I would assume they sensed your power.
"Do not judge us based on your pre-conceived notions of what good and evil are. We are not evil like this Dark Lord of yours. Shadow magic does not equal evil. Why kidnap us? We can defend ourselves just fine without your interference. I believe we already have faced your Dark Lord's people at the beginning of the month and we took care of them with no problem." ranted an angry Atem.
"I will not take any chances with the Wizarding World at stake. And how can you claim that you are not dark wizards when you took the souls of the Death Eaters that were not killed outright by your powers," Dumbledore asked a bit more aggressively.
"We do not have to defend our actions to you," sneered Marik.
"That may be true but it would be wise to use your powers to aid in the light and help us destroy Voldemort," Albus said a bit more calmly.
"We will not fight for you wizards and you cannot force us to." spat Seto venomously.
Dumbledore responded with his eyes twinkling madly, "While that is true, I cannot force you to help us it might be to your benefit to help the Wizarding World seeing as the sooner the enemy is neutralized the sooner you will go free."
"You manipulative bastard!" yelled Bakura.
"Do you know who we are? I am the CEO of a worldwide corporation. Marik and Atem are children of the clans and all of us are famous and publicized duelists. Do you think our disappearances will go unnoticed you fool?" asked Seto in a deadly tone.
"That is where you are mistaken. No one will know what has happened." Dumbledore answered the cold teen.
"What do you mean?" Atem demanded with dread while worrying about their friends and family.
"Well Miss Ishtar and your older brother will be cancelling their trip to America and they will no longer be expecting you boys to return to Egypt after break. They will believe you all came here to England to finish your senior year and learn our branch of magic. We also have Mr. Weasley in Egypt to cast any spells needed on the Ishtar's should they grow suspicious. It would also seem Mr. Weasley has taken an interest in Miss Ishtar." Dumbledore explained with a twinkle in his eye and was going to continue but was interrupted.
Both Atem and Marik reacted violently at the implied threat towards Isis and Rishid.
"Keep that man away from my sister," Marik yelled as he tried to lunge at Dumbledore. Lupin and Moody grabbed the two boys roughly and stopped them from attacking.
"Now, now boys if you cooperate no harm will come to your family." Albus reassured as he looked at the boys with sparkling eyes. "As we speak spelled letters are being delivered your companions who were supposed to accompany you to America. Your father Mr. Bakura will also believe the same thing as soon as the charmed letter arrives."
The headmaster then shifted his focus onto the young CEO. "As for your brother and business Mr. Kaiba a wizard will be sent to impersonate you, not even your brother will be able to tell the difference.
"As if someone could impersonate me." Seto scoffed in disbelief.
"Ah Mr. Kaiba you will find that in the wizarding world that is an easier task then one might think. I suppose we can get this done now. Though I must apologize now this will not be very pleasant for you. Elphias if you would." Dumbledore said.
Doge stepped up to the boy and removed some hair from the teen. He quickly added a strand to his flask that had polyjuice potion in it and drank a bit of it. He began morphing into Kaiba. Seto gaped at the sight before him.
"You may look like me but you can never be me. My brother will see through you." Seto stated in a superior tone.
"We are not done yet Mr. Kaiba. This will probably leave you feeling quite exhausted and you will most likely get a nasty headache from this but it cannot be helped." Elphias said as he brought his wand out. "Replicare memoriam," Doge incanted as a grey light shot out and hit Kaiba in the head. An orb flew out with images flitting about. He frowned. "Hmm…your mind is well protected. I didn't get much out of that. Alright then let's try this, replicare personalitatem." Another orb shot out and Doge absorbed both orbs.
Seto grunted from the pain while glaring at his doppelganger. He felt the exhaustion and headache coming almost immediately. "What did you do to me?"
"I merely attempted to copy your memories which only partially worked since your mind is so well protected but absorbing the orb that copied your personality will work just fine. There are always potions and spells I can use if your brother becomes suspicious." Doge answered. "Headmaster I will take my leave now." Doge said in Seto's voice as he left the room to head to the apparition point.
"No! You can't do this!" Seto yelled and lunged for the man only to be stopped short by the man with black hair.
"I assure you your brother will be fine." Dumbledore stated in his grandfather façade. "I took the liberty of having one of my associates pack clothing and other items you might need while he was out delivering your letters. Anything else you want will have to be summoned. I assume since you are mages that you all have the ability of summoning objects to you. Be aware it will tire you. Tomorrow after the students leave we will take you to Diagon Alley to get wands…."
"We don't need wands from you we have some already they just have to be retrieved," interrupted Atem slightly surprised at his own statement though he knew he was correct. Images flashed in his mind and he realized if they were going to get wands they would be wands forged from the denizens of the shadow realm.
The others looked to their pharaoh curiously having no clue what he was talking about while Dumbledore had Severus release Atem to acquire the wands. Atem glared at the Headmaster but said nothing.
He then concentrated on his connection to the shadow realm itself and created a small opening that allowed him to summon the wands that were probably best left in the shadows. He grabbed the old looking box containing wands of Horus with duel monster cores, which were all black with gold hieroglyphs on them. He opened the box and ran his hand over the wands to figure out which ones he needed. He took out the five he sensed and quickly closed the box so as to not arouse suspicion. He sent the box back to the shadows and almost fell but the greasy haired one called Snape steadied him. Atem felt extremely exhausted just from that little bit of magic. The magical bindings in the bracelet were definitely sapping his magical strength and energy. He could feel the shadows angrily stirring at being restricted from their full potential.
Atem glared up at Dumbledore who was smiling with that knowing look. "Since you all need some rest I think it best we get you settled in your dorm room. Your dorm will be secured at night so there is no unwanted wandering but during the day it will be open. Professor Snape and Lupin will be looking after you five while you are here. Oh and on a last note there is a handy little charm that will not allow anyone to discover the truth of why you are here so don't bother trying not that I believe you would want your secrets out in the open but it's just a precaution," Dumbledore said cheerfully, eyes twinkling.
Severus and Remus escorted the tired glaring teens out and to their dorm. Once they arrived at a portrait of the Egyptian pyramids, Lupin gave them the password to enter which was Nile River. They released the rest of their captives and Remus and Severus began to leave for the night.
"How can you do this? You cannot possibly think this is ok." Yugi asked desperately hoping there was some sanity amongst these wizards.
They both looked upon their captives with dull eyes. "I'm sorry we have no choice," Snape said gruffly.
Lupin looked back at them and all of a sudden asked if there were more shadow mages. "I saw there were more wands in that box of yours than you took out."
Atem gaped openly in shock and then a spark of fear clouded his amethyst eyes as he looked at Lupin. "We will never tell you who or where they are. They are out of your reach." Atem stated aggressively as he stepped forward.
"It's alright we will not tell the Headmaster." Snape bit out in a warning tone directed towards Lupin making sure he would also keep the secret. Then Snape and Lupin left. "This is crazy. Dumbledore has finally lost it," muttered Severus.
Remus could not agree more with Severus's sentiments but kept silent as they separated. Severus headed towards private chambers in the dungeon and Lupin to his private rooms.
The five teens went upstairs to check out what was brought for them. There was one large bedroom with a massive bathroom attached to it. The bedroom was a circular room with five beds and the bathroom had five showers. The rooms were actually very nice with plush beds and the rooms decorated in navy blues and silver. They checked over their belongings ignoring their new supplies. Everything as far as clothes and personal belongings was there for each teen.
"No electronics! Do these incompetent wizards live in the dark ages or something?" bellowed Seto.
"Well let's summon your laptop, our decks, and duel disks for something to do," Marik suggested quietly.
They all agreed. They all summoned their respective items. By the time they were done they were very drained and Atem looked like he was going to pass out.
"We should not have let you summon anything." Yugi said in a worried tone.
"I will be fine Yugi." Atem said tiredly.
The teens walked back down the stairs, laptop in Seto's hand and slumped down on the squashy chairs and couches of their new prison. Atem handed everyone their wands and each lit up and sparkled emitting a strange warmth when they were touched by their owners.
"Well that was different," exclaimed Ryou feeling a rush of warmth.
"They are extensions of us that will allow us to do this new kind of magic," Atem said weakly as he leaned on the closest person to him which happened to be his cousin Seto.
"Where did these wands come from?" Ryou asked curiously.
"I believe based on the brief flashes I got they are a gift from the shadow realm and the creatures that dwell within. For example I believe your wand core is a feather from your Change of Heart monster, Ryou."
Bakura came out in solid form when he had heard that little tidbit from the Pharaoh. Atem looked up at the tomb robber, "Yes, Bakura there was a wand in that box for you as well but I couldn't grab it without risking the wizards noticing."
"It's fine Pharaoh. I was just curious as to what core mine might be." Bakura said nonchalantly leaning on the edge of the couch opposite the Pharaoh and High Priest.
"I believe it was a fang from Diabound. If you want to know your cores just put your hand over the wand and concentrate on your magick though I believe they are all something from the duel monsters that are closest to us." Atem answered.
Seto all of a sudden swore loudly and startled the entire group. "My laptop will not work! I can't think straight at this point. I will work on it tomorrow," he said disgusted that technology wasn't working here.
"How are we going to get out of this mess if we can't communicate with anyone?" Ryou asked the group of teens. No one seemed sure.
"Our friends and family don't even know what happened to us." Yugi said sadly.
"Maybe Shadi will notice, he always seems to know when we are in trouble." Atem said sleepily definitely ready for sleep after their evening.
"True but he also seems to have his own agenda," said a slightly miffed Marik thinking that while Shadi was a great teacher he still didn't trust him fully.
"He maybe our only hope." stated Seto bluntly as he stood up and grabbed Atem realizing the Pharaoh was not going to be awake much longer. The rest of the teens understood and dragged themselves upstairs to bed to get some much needed rest.
Same Night at Number 12 Grimmauld Place
Dumbledore called an emergency Order meeting. "I am sorry to call you all here with so little notice right before Christmas Break begins but I must tell you what has transpired tonight. We have captured Voldemort's weapons." Albus announced.
Remus and Severus turned pale. The others looked on curious except for Moody, Doge, and Mundungus who had been in on this.
"They are five teenage boys that hold special dark powers." Albus said.
"Children Albus?" Mrs. Weasley choked out.
"They are legal adults in our world and they are far from innocent children my dear. These "children" have allied themselves with Lord Voldemort. They have already committed atrocities against wizards and muggles alike. We caught them on a mission from Voldemort set to destroy a small muggle village." explained Albus gravely hoping the order bought his story. It would not due for any members to sympathize with the mages and attempt to help them.
Where are the teens now?
"They are safely locked away at Hogwarts." Albus told everyone. "They may be young but they are very valuable to Voldemort and Hogwarts is the safest place to hide them."
"Is that safe Albus? I mean what of our students?" Minerva asked with concern.
"No need to worry they are completely harmless now. They are wearing devices that were created to keep them under control. It not only restricts their magic but it will also keep them within the wards of Hogwarts. Even though they are a few years older they will be joining the 5th year students with the Gryffindor house. The teens will begin learning our kind of magic and hopefully the misguided mages will see the wrongs of the side they have chosen and choose to come to the light." Albus explained as he watched the body language and facial expressions of his people. He knew he had them mostly convinced based on what he saw.
"The teens will be under the supervision of Remus and Severus. Please do not worry they cannot harm any of our students. That is all for now, meeting adjourned." Albus concluded.
"I do not like this at all Albus," said a still concerned Minerva.
"I know Minerva but we have little choice in the matter and maybe some good will come of it." Albus said with his eyes twinkling madly in what he hoped looked like hopefulness.
