AN: Rest of original Chap 17.

And so finally here is the rest of my catalyst chapter. Again this is the one that got me stuck. So let's see if I can get past it this time round. This part of the chapter was very hard to re-write. I cannot say I am 100% satisfied yet.

Blackdrake: Thank you for your support. This part of the chapter has changed a lot. I will be curious as to what you think of it. Making Dumbledore a manipulative bastard is really hard. I just hope I am doing it justice. :) I am still trying to figure Umbridge out.

Thank you for the ideas I might be able to work with one of those.

Thank you to everyone still reading this story!


Things you need to know:

Egyptian Mythology:is a cluster (put four letter word here). Its own people had so many different names and hierarchies of their Gods it is crazy. However most of history likes to agree that Ra in some form was the king/creator of the Gods and world.

Pharaohs:The Egyptians believed their pharaoh to be the mediator between the gods and the world of men. His job was to represent the divine.

In official documents, the full title of the Egyptian king consisted of five names, each preceded by one of the following titles: Horus, Two Ladies, Golden Horus, King of Upper and Lower Egypt, and Son of Re.

He was identified directly with Horus, who represented kingship itself, and he was seen as the son of Ra, who ruled and regulated nature as the Pharaoh ruled and regulated society. On ancient hieroglyphics there are scenes showing Horus handing the crown to the Pharaoh choosing him to rule over all of Egypt the true Heir of Horus. The Egyptian kingship was based on divine right. Ra-Horathky created the pharaohs for the purpose of ruling his land.

Basically, during most of history the Egyptians seem to have thought of their pharaohs as touched by the divine, sons and servants of the gods rather than equals of Re or Amen: they were mediators between humans and gods.

Yugioh: It uses a lot of parallels to Egyptian Mythology. It is just fascinating to try and figure them out.

Yugioh sort of has a hierarchy of the Gods with the Creator God as Horakhty which in Egyptian mythology is historically the combination of Horus and Ra.

As for what I am doing well you will see but I am pretty much making up my own hierarchy of Egyptian Gods with Horakhty at the top then Ra and Horus then Slifer and Obelisk who represent from what I read (Osiris and Geb). With this in mind Icannotfollow traditional mythology of Osiris and Isis being the parents of Horus.

Warning: I am making up my own card. Next Chapter.

I am struggling with scene changes because there is a lot happening all at once. I am trying my best bear with me.

Remember the order of the Phoenix thinks the mages work for Voldemort and are being kept away from him. Also remember as things happen that Voldemort wants them alive.

Cyber Dragon + Cyber Dragon= Cyber Twin Dragon.


Chapter 28
Original Chapter 17
(part 2)
Love is in the Air! Or Not…

All Hell breaks loose…
After the exclusive Weasley tour with strange comments coming from Luna the teens finally had enough wandering around and started heading towards the Three Broomsticks for lunch. Marik and Yugi were loath to admit it but they were actually enjoying their tour around the magical village with their new friends. Yugi was having a fun time getting to know the shy Neville who was finally coming out of his shell and Marik was joking around with Daphne and Luna while the four seventh years tried to entertain them all with their antics. Adrian and Terrence really had been corrupted by the twins. It was all over for Slytherin as everyone knew it.

The only truly annoying thing was Dumbledore's people following them around. They thought they were stealthy but Marik and Yugi both noticed them fairly quickly during their tour. Even though Marik and Yugi were having fun they kept looking around just waiting for the inevitable fight with Malfoy.

As the teens were heading to their destination Yugi noticed or rather felt shadow magick. He turned and saw what he thought was a silhouette of a person in-between Honeydukes and the Cauldron shop. Marik had paused noticing the strange look on Yugi's face while realizing why Yugi had that look.

"Shadi is here!" Marik whispered to Yugi anxiously hoping the visit brought good news from the mysterious priest.

Yugi nodded acknowledging that he heard him and tried to think of a way to get to Shadi unnoticed. The others stopped when they realized their two friends had stopped walking and wondered what was going on.

"We need to ditch our guards." Marik hissed quietly to their friends.

"No problem. We can make sure there is a distraction large enough to get them away from you." Fred said quickly while the other three seventh years smirked at the idea of chaos.

The four seventh years strolled off into another part of Hogsmeade and no more than five minutes later Dumbledore's lackeys began heading off to where they had gone. The mages milled around with Tracey, Neville, and Luna while they waited for the distraction to happen.

"Be careful," Tracey said as she heard what sounded like a large explosion.

"Thanks, we will." Yugi assured trying to convince himself that everything would be fine.

"We will meet you at the Three Broomsticks as soon as we are done here." Marik added watching to see if Luna gave any hint of being aware of what was going on.

Unfortunately Luna just gave the mages a dreamy look as she left with Tracey and Neville. Yugi and Marik quickly headed towards Shadi in the dark space in-between the buildings. What they never noticed were some death eaters disguised as students following them and a few certain order members returning faster than anticipated.

Across the road…
"Can you get a clear shot? Which one should we take out?" Mundungus asked Moody as he spotted their targets.

"Be quiet you fool. It doesn't matter which one we take out. But no they walked in between buildings. We will have to wait until they come back out. It is a dead end there so they will have to exit the way they came." Moody growled out watching for the mages to come back out. For some odd reason they wanted to lose their guard and that set Moody on edge. 'What are they up to?' wondered Moody silently trying to ignore the idiot next to him.

Back to the Mages…
The wind suddenly picked up and the clouds rolled in seemingly from nowhere. A deep sense of hopelessness and despair invaded everyone's senses. Shadi felt the cold prickle on his skin and dark memories rose to the surface of his mind. He took out his key and stepped past his charges looking for the danger he sensed not even bothering to greet them. Marik and Yugi turned around and looked at him confused by his actions but then suddenly felt the frosty cold that they were starting to become familiar with.

"There is someone here." Shadi stated to his young charges as he prepared for the incoming attack.

"Dementors." Marik whispered shivering at the sudden frigid temperatures as ice formed on the walls of the alleyway they were in.

Marik and Yugi quickly took out their wands. Having no other source of real defense they were finally relying on their wands and hoped the dark creatures passed them by.

A group of death eaters swarmed them while chaos ensued on the main roads in front of them with the appearance of Dementors. People started screaming and running in terror from the vile creatures and the sudden freezing cold while the mages prepared to defend themselves against the Death Eaters.

Shadi immediately cast a shadow spell that took the soul of the Death Eater directly in front of him hoping that whatever was causing the temperature to drop did not get any closer to them.

"There are too many of them." Yugi said as he backed up trying to not feel the cold from the close proximity of the Dementors. He thanked Ra that they had not come down the alleyway yet.

"Yugi, concentrate. If we want to make it out of here unscathed we must fight with all that we have." Marik chastised Yugi even though he himself was struggling with the distraction of the nearby dementors.

Yugi acknowledged Marik's words and tried to ignore the overwhelming sense of hopelessness. He cast out what little defensive magic he knew at the oncoming swarm of Death Eaters. As hard as they had worked for the last few weeks it was all still a lot to learn. In reality compared to the students they probably didn't stand a chance against them, let alone the adults who had come in and were darting around in black swirls.

The three mages fought hard but were overwhelmed with the sheer number of spells coming at them and being trapped in between buildings put them at a serious disadvantage. One Death Eater got his hands on Marik who quickly activated his portkey and disappeared.

"Marik! No!" Yugi yelled as he watched his friend disappear from sight.

Shadi reacted immediately out of sheer desperation, to the slight pause in action when Marik was taken, and cast a tidal wave of shadows that pushed their enemies away from them long enough for him to grab Yugi and get them out into the open. Though, he debated if that was much better with the chaos reigning from all sides of the road.

Riddle Manor…
The Death Eater pushed his prize proudly into the center of the room and backed off into a circle of Death Eaters that were currently surrounding the mage.

Marik picked himself up off the floor to study his surroundings. He immediately saw that he was completely surrounded by masked men in black robes and a balding snake like man sitting on a throne like seat. They appeared to be in some kind of ball room or fancy room you would find in a mansion. The black robed man on the throne looked down at the mage with an evil gleam.

"Welcome to my home. I am Lord Voldemort the one responsible for freeing you from Dumbledore's clutches." Voldemort said to the young mage before him.

Marik just looked at the man incredulously and laughed insanely. "You are a fool full of delusions of grandeur, snake face. You have not freed me. Dumbledore's schemes will not be foiled today. I promise you I will not be here much longer."

"How dare you speak to our Lord like that you piece of filth." A random death eater said as they stepped more into the circle ready to curse the suicidal mage.

"Silence or I will show you the true meaning of fear." Voldemort threated incensed at this mage's attitude. He got up from his throne and glided regally over to the insolent mage. He stepped right into the teens face.

"You will learn your place and respect your new master. You answer to me now. Your first lesson in proper respect will begin now. Bow down to your superior and accept your new role in life and perhaps I will let you live when all is said and done." Voldemort threatened while letting his magic loose a bit so the mage could feel his raw power.

Marik looked at the snake faced sociopath and smirked at his arrogance, hiding his revulsion and nervousness at the sheer power radiating off this man. It was unbelievable. How could a mere modern wizard hold this much power? He would be dangerous and a challenge to kill but it mattered not. He would not let this thing intimidate him.

"I bow only before my king and you are not him. You are not prepared to face my king's wrath pathetic mortal." He said with a manic gleam in his eyes. He knew he only had a brief few moments left before the bracelet kicked in. Hopefully snake face didn't kill him before then.

"Why you insolent fool! Crucio!" Voldemort yelled as he cast his favorite torture curse on the impertinent mage.

Marik gasped in pain but tried to keep from yelling out. He didn't want to give this man the satisfaction. Just as the curse was becoming even more unbearable his bracelet kicked in. The bracelet glowed pale blue. He gave the self-proclaimed Dark Lord a smirk and a rude gesture, then felt a tug and poof he was gone. He landed unceremoniously in the Headmaster's office. He laid there shaking from the aftereffects of the curse not even noticing the strangely smoky office. He failed to notice the two figures that abruptly stood at his loud arrival as he begged the Gods for oblivion until the effects of the curse subsided.

Voldemort was livid. That blasted mage had slipped through his fingers due to something Dumbledore had done. He paced for a few moments cursing loudly when one of his Death Eaters dared to speak.

"My Lord I think I know what happened." Rookwood said boldly to his master.

"Speak."

"When the young mage was disappearing there was a blue glow on the bracelet he was wearing. I believe that is what sent him back to wherever Dumbledore has it set to."

"We had anti-portkey wards set. That would be impossible!" Voldemort yelled at his death eater ready to curse him for his stupidity.

"But what if what the boy was wearing was an enchanted item? Dumbledore is one of the few true enchanters left in our world due to its declining popularity since the masses fear the more ancient and dangerous aspects of enchanting. They only teach the basic knowledge of the subject nowadays." Rookwood finished hoping his Lord was pleased with him.

Voldemort paced thinking about what his servant had said. There was a good chance he was right. If that was true the next mage port-keyed in would belong to them. Voldemort and his followers cared little for what the masses thought of dangerous ancient magics so he and many others who had some talent were also enchanters of the ancient kind. Dumbledore had severely underestimated his knowledge in ancient magics.

"Then we shall wait. The others should be sending us more mages soon. Hopefully the ones I need." Voldemort said as he sat down on is throne and waited.

Back at Hogsmeade
All hell had broken loose. People were running for their lives, spells were flying everywhere and Yugi and Shadi seemed to be in the middle of it all. They continued to fight a losing battle against the swarm of Death Eaters that were attacking and fighting off the effects of the Dementors that were floating around causing chaos in general. On top of that Order members had also joined in the fight and were attacking the Death Eaters while trying to stun the mages thinking they were trying to escape and return to Voldemort.

"Now is our chance. Imprecari Alta Secat" Moody cast using a slashing motion that sent a streak of purple flames heading straight for Yugi.

Shadi sensed the impending danger and leapt in front of Moody's spell while blocking another incoming spell with a wave of shadows.

"Shadi!" Yugi cried as he dropped to his knees beside his fallen protector.

"I am sorry I could not protect you better…" Shadi said forlornly as he took his last breath.

"No…Shadi…" Yugi said teary eyed as he mentally screamed for Atem just before he too fell to the ground unmoving.

Three Broomsticks
"Did you feel that Fred?"

"I did" said George as he and his brother grabbed their Cyber Dragon cards that seemed to be pulsing simultaneously along with their shared card Cyber Twin Dragon.

"Something is wrong dear brother." Fred said as he and the others stood up from their seats.

"We need to find the others." Agreed George said as they all exited the building and headed into the chaos.

Behind the shops…
Suddenly Atem stopped short. Yugi had just mentally screamed his name.

"Yugi!" Atem yelled as he suddenly felt something strange coming from his deck and the sudden sadness emanating from the shadows. Something was very wrong and Yugi was somehow involved.

Everyone turned to look at Atem to see what the matter was. "What's wrong Atem?" Mana asked in concern feeling something strange as well from her cards. It was almost a deep sorrow that she felt from them.

"It's Yugi, he and Marik must be in trouble I have to find them." Atem said hurriedly while changing direction back towards the back of the stores. Not all were fenced in he should be able to get back into town by going through one of alley ways in between a set of stores.

"Wait Atem! You know this is most likely the trap set for us. You cannot just go running off." Seto said logically understanding that something was terribly wrong but to let the Pharaoh rush off. He didn't think that was a good idea either.

Atem glared at his High Priest. "I don't care if this is a trap. I have to try and help Yugi and Marik. You need to stay with the girls and protect them at all costs." he ordered heading away from the group once again.

Seto was torn between following the Pharaoh or doing as he was told and protecting the girls. If anything happened to Mana, Atem would never forgive him but…this had to be the trap.

"I will follow Atem. Theo, take Seto and the girls to the Shrieking Shack. Everyone should be safe there. No one likes hanging out by that house. Most people think it's really haunted. Theo and Hermione know the way." Harry told the other mage.

Seto nodded in agreement reluctantly.

"Harry be careful." Hermione cried out.

Harry smiled warmly at his best friend and trotted off towards Atem. Atem and Harry quickly went through the alleyway next to Zonko's joke shop to get onto High Street.

Atem and Harry paused when they came out of the alleyway and openly gaped at the chaos. The area was in front of them was a war zone. People were running everywhere to try and get away from stray spells and Dementors. Atem tried reaching out mentally Yugi and Marik but could not reach them so he jumped into the fray to search them out. Harry followed the suicidal mage looking anxiously for Yugi and Marik but couldn't see them anywhere while trying to avoid oncoming spell fire.

"Ra damn it. I can't sense either of them." Atem said as he stopped in front of a random shop and got a forlorn look on his face.

"Maybe we should get back to the others and make sure they are alright." Harry suggested quietly dodging a stray spell that came his way.

"Let me try one more time." Atem said ducking low to avoid spells flying everywhere. So far they had been lucky and no one had specifically targeted them.

The boys crouched near the entrance way of the building they were in front of while Atem concentrated on the ebb and flow of the shadows. He silently sent out a few tendrils to check the surrounding area for the presence of Yugi or Marik. Then suddenly he felt a slight tug from the shadows. They had found something.

"Harry, I found something. This way a little ways up the road." Atem said as he dodged through people to reach the spot where the shadows were tugging him. He didn't go very far when he noticed two bodies lying on the ground.

"No…It can't be…" Atem said as he raced to the two fallen mages.

Harry quickly followed suit stifling a gasp at the sight before him. Atem checked for pulses while Harry cast protego to keep spells from hitting them. Death Eaters were starting to notice their arrival and realized one of their targets was right in front of them. They shifted their goal of random chaos and began focusing on Potter and the Pharaoh. Spells had begun to come their way. Luckily the dementors seemed to be keeping their distance. Aurors and Order members were trying to get rid of the dementors and stop the Death Eaters. Unfortunately the dementors had no problem going after either of these groups and were keeping them quite occupied.

"Are they…?" Harry began to ask but was unable to finish the question as he deflected another spell coming at them.

"Shadi is gone, Yugi is barely breathing and his pulse is weak. He seems to be bleeding everywhere. He needs a healer now!" Atem responded trying not to drown in panic and sorrow as he understood the predicament they were in.

Atem couldn't fathom what had happened since the Death Eaters were supposed to take them alive. And what became of Marik? Was he ok or had he somehow gotten captured? Atem pulled himself out of his thoughts and pulled out his wand to try and stave off the incoming attacks. He didn't know much but he had learned the shield charm from Harry in their secret defense club. He and Harry defended the best they could but there was too much crossfire and spells being aimed directly at them. They would not last long at this rate.

"Ah…," Harry yelled in pain as he was cut across the stomach, arms and legs. He dropped down in pain.

"Harry!" Atem yelled as he saw the young teen go down hard.

Atem wasn't faring much better he had cuts in multiple places and he was weakening from the blood loss. They may not have been trying to kill him but he was weakening and soon they would have him. And if that happened he would lose Yugi. 'No it cannot end like this.' were Atem's thoughts as he went to his knees from pain and despair. His magic was restless and shifting constantly trying to break its bonds to help their master but to no avail. Atem shielded himself with the shadows he could call on and closed his eyes realizing if this didn't work he would soon be in the Dark Lord's possession and Yugi…. 'No I won't think like that. I have to have faith.' Atem thought.

"Ra, father of all the Pharaohs, please…hear me in this foreign land, your servant needs your help. Please….help me save them." Atem prayed to his divine father begging for Ra to hear his pleas and intervene. He felt the bracelet draining his strength he didn't have much longer but held on for as long as possible.

Suddenly when all hope seemed lost the Heaven's opened up. A blinding brilliant white light with blue and purple hues shot down and enveloped the Gods' chosen one.

(Think DSOD return scene only white, blue, and purple.)

Elsewhere…
The Ravenclaw that had followed the group reported their findings to Draco Malfoy.

Draco smirked. "Perfect," the shrieking shack was a great place to make sure his targets were isolated enough to be captured by the Death Eaters.

Spells were set up all around the area that would let the mini Death Eater's know when their prey arrived. Draco was determined not to fail this mission. He would become honored amongst the Death Eaters if he could succeed in this. Soon he could avenge his father. The Dark Lord would take the Pharaoh's power and then he would be his to destroy.

Draco knew the adults that the Dark Lord had sent to help on this mission had already attacked a few of the mages but he and the other Hogwarts students that were followers were supposed to help get the others. Now they had the perfect opportunity. He and his allies waited in hiding near the Shrieking Shack. Unfortunately only one of his targets was there along with the mudblood, the traitor, Greengrass, and girl he was interested in.

"This will be too easy," Draco thought as he realized the only real threats were Theo and the mage or so he thought.

Draco and the others kept their distance until they were ready to attack. in preparation for their plan of attack the teens took a potion for visual clarity.

"Pansy, do your thing." Draco hissed quietly when the time was right.

Pansy cast Densissima nebula and the thick fog quickly covered the area where Hermione, Mana, Theo, Daphne, and Seto were.

Crabbe, Goyle, and Blaise all cast Bumastus at their targets which quickly bound the teens. Then the Death Eater teens moved in on their victims. Pansy cleared the fog out so they could see everything once again.

"And here I thought you would be a challenge Seto Kaiba." Draco taunted delighting in the fact he could enact some revenge on the arrogant teen.

Seto glared at their captors. He struggled against the vines that had burst forth from the earth but there was no getting loose or to his wand.

"Malfoy have you lost your mind! Let us go immediately." Hermione shrieked thinking the Slytherin boy had truly lost his mind.

"Shut it mudblood." Draco sneered as he cast veritati somnum and Hermione instantly stilled from being put into a deep sleep. (The one used in Goblet of Fire that's never been named)

"Should I send the signal Draco?" Blaise asked while his wand was still trained on Seto just in case he somehow escaped.

"No we need their Pharaoh as well. We will give his highness a few minutes and hopefully he will come to their rescue." Draco responded as he turned to Seto ignoring Theo, Daphne, and Mana for the moment. "Where is he?"

Seto glared, but refused to say a word. He mentally called out to Atem hoping he was close enough to warn off. [Atem?]

Seto paled at the lack of response. His link was there but it was as if something was blocking it from fully connecting. He could feel traces of immense sorrow, some pain, and then something otherworldly. What in Ra's name was going on?

Tired of being ignored Draco cast afligo at Seto. Seto grunted from the blow but said nothing. Something was coming and it was big. He could feel it in his soul.

"Answer my question," Draco demanded once more.

"Can feel it closing in all around you? The Pharaoh's hand of justice has been awakened. It is coming for you. You will be called to account for your sins." Seto said cryptically while smirking triumphantly. He and the others would be free soon.


TBC…

AN: Yes I have seen DSOD. Can't use it but loved it.

This is kind of what I picture when the light hits Atem: people/uzume/works/720786-magic-light
