Summary: Months after their
fateful trip to Egypt, the reunited soul mates continue to adjust to their new life in
Domino as well as the modern teens' impending graduation. Things appear to be going
well until a strange series of seemingly random attacks and bizarre accidents begin
plaguing both the lights and their protectors, forcing their lovers into action. In
order to protect their mates, the ancient beings must now determine not only the fate of
the "lost" city of Atlantis, but also their entire species! The race is on
to find the answers before they all face annihilation at the hands of an unknown enemy.

Despite being such a large group, no one paid
much attention to the small crowd of teenagers gathered just outside one of the boarding
gates. Sights like this were an almost daily occurrence here.

Carry-on bags in hand, the three departing hikari
bid goodbye to their friends, their yami already hidden within their items. Unable
to keep from worrying, Yuugi hugged each of them in turn, making them promise to be
careful and wishing them the best of luck.

Knowing her parents would be gone a long time,
Chris had clung tightly to her mother the entire morning wanting to spend as much time
with him as possible. Both Tomoya and Dartz felt horrible about leaving her behind,
but knew it was safer for her to remain in Domino with the knights.

When it was finally time for them to board,
Tomoya bent down and gathered her into a tight hug, "Now you be a good girl for
Grandma and the knights while we're gone, okay sweetheart?"

Giving her mother a watery smile, the little
brunette nodded. "I will Mommy. You and Daddy be careful and come home
soon!"

"We will sweetie, I promise," he told
her, smiling fondly at his mother and daughter.

((As do I,)) Dartz added, sending a wave of love
to his little princess.

"Do not worry my lords," Timaeus
reassured his sovereigns, knowing that Dartz was listening from within the item.
"We will keep them safe." Behind him, Critias and Hermos nodded solemnly.

Tomoya smiled, "We know. That's why
we're leaving them in your care."

Humbled by the faith their king and queen had in
them, the three knights were stunned mute, unable to do more than watch as the
orange-haired teen walked to the final check point where the others could not follow.

Once the last of the passengers had boarded the
plane, the remaining teens and family moved to the viewing area to watch it take off, each
sending silent prayers for their safety until it was no longer visible in the sky.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

After a short jaunt through Asia, they arrived in
Europe and were able to take a welcome break from plane travel. Traveling by bus the
group of three, six if it was safe for the darks to be out, made good time and even
managed to have a bit of fun on the way, enjoying the local sights and foods while they
waited for their next bus. Inevitably, despite translation spells, the language
barrier managed to get in the way and the group ended up on the wrong bus, so instead of
going south to Spain as they had intended, they ended up in France. After a
frustrating discussion at the ticket booth, the group settled down at a nearby cafe for
lunch. It was as they were finishing their meal that someone approached their odd
group.

"Pardon moi (1)?" a polite masculine
voice asked from behind Hanasaki. "Vous semblez conna�tre, (2) the man began,
his expression turning startled when both Tomoya and Dartz turned to face him.
"Ah, je vous ai vu � la fois avant. Je le sais. (3)"

"Sotiris (4)?" both men breathed,
staring up at the tall, blond man who had addressed them. The broad shouldered, soft
spoken man staring back at them with a look of vague recognition in his eyes, was
literally the spitting image of their former knight.

Rising slowly to his feet, the bespectacled
hikari placed a trembling hand on the other's arm, "Is it really you?"

Confused and startled, the man began to speak
again, "J-Je suis d�sol�, mais je ne parle pas votre langue (5)."

{Do you understand us now?} Dartz replied in
Atlantean, having accurately guessed what the other man had said. Blue eyes widened
in surprise as he stared back, not understanding how he had understood that strange
language. He didn't even know what language it was! "Oui," he nodded
rapidly, {I do understand you. But how-?}

{If there is some where we can talk privately, we
would be happy to explain.} Hanasaki said with a smile.

The blond nodded rapidly. {We can talk at
my home. It's not far from here,} he said smiling a bit nervously back at
them. As the group paid for their meal the blond turned to them with a smile, {By
the way, my name is Rafael.}

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Just as Rafael had said, the walk to his home was
a short one and they soon arrived at a quaint, two-story cottage with a white picket fence
outlining the front yard. It looked like the type of house you saw in travel
brochures and movies. Smiling proudly, the young man welcomed them inside and showed
them to the dining room where they could temporarily place their bags. Guiding them
to the living room they had barely gotten seated when the sound of thundering footsteps
brought all eyes to the two young children tearing down the stairs.

"Fr�re vous �tes chez vous! (6)" the
little girl cheered, hugging her brother around his waist.

"Et vous a invit�s! (7)" the boy
stated in surprise, their brother never brought anyone home with him.

"Oui, je ne. Nous avons quelque chose
dont nous devons discuter seul. (8)"

"Bon d'accord, (9)" the boy replied, he
and his sister moving to leave.

{They can stay. I believe this effects them
as well, am I right?} Dartz broke in, having sensed a familiar power from the children.

Seeing all three forms tense, Isis decided to
help ease their fear and moved to the center of the room to unfurl her wings for
them. Seeing the beautiful hawk wings stretched out behind the tan-skinned woman
immediately calmed them.

"Vous �tes . . . comme nous?
(10)"

Smiling and nodding Isis was delighted when both
children unfurled their own wings. Two new ms-n hwi and
another face from the past, she thought casting a glance at their older brother.

{Did you inherit your wings from your mother or
your father?} Tomoya asked gently, allowing his own wings out to the delight of the
children.

{Our mother. Before she and father were
killed in the accident, Mother taught me how to hide them. She had the most
beautiful falcon wings I had ever seen,}Rafael smiled fondly at the memory. {She
warned me that I should never tell anyone about them or let anyone other than Father and
my siblings see them.}

{A wise decision in this day and age. Come,
we will explain everything we know to you and your siblings.} Dartz commented, gesturing
for the little ones to take a seat by their brother.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

When they arrived in Gibraltar, Hanasaki was
still in high spirits. Finding Sotiris' reincarnation and his siblings had
galvanized his desire to find their home. They had been surprised at how accepting
he was of everything they told him until he admitted that he had been having strange
dreams about Atlantis since childhood. Upon hearing about their current plight, the
young man had expressed the desire to help, yet he was unwilling to uproot his younger
siblings for his own wishes.

Feeling that the small family was safer staying
put for now, Dartz reassured the blond that he needn't worry about them and should focus
on his siblings. In case Rafael should feel that he and his family were in danger,
they left the three anthros with all of their contact numbers (including Seto
Kaiba's). The former knight had thanked them profusely, promising that they would
meet again.

"Still feeling happy about Sotiris?"
Dartz asked his chipper lover.

Gray eyes sparkled joyfully, "Oh yes.
It's wonderful knowing he's alive again too. I still remember-" the teen suddenly
stopped, his gaze turning a troubled.

"Remember what, love?"

Tomoya sighed, "Just before I died . . . I
came across the bodies of Sotiris, Polemetris, and Athene. I think the man who
killed me was the same one that killed them."

Gold eyes dimmed in remorse, if only he had been
strong enough to protect his mate. Sensing his lover's discomfort, the orange-haired
hikari hugged him tightly, receiving an equally tight embrace in return. Still
lending one another their silent support, the couple looked to where the Rock of Gibraltar
stood. In their minds' eye they could still see the floating barges and other
smaller crafts, traveling back and forth from the mainland to the floating island that
supported their home. Back then, their kingdom had encompassed the entire peninsula
and on up into the land now known as the country of Greece.

Lost in their memories, the two Atlanteans nearly
jumped out of their skin when Marik began talking to them, they hadn't even noticed when
the others had returned.

"Well, it was easy enough finding a tour
group to blend in with. There are a lot of tourists that go to the rock on a daily
basis," the yami stated, guiding Malik to a small stone bench. Nose-deep in a
travel pamphlet, the hikari was paying little attention to his surroundings.

"There are also daily cave tours and hiking
trails so no one should think twice about us poking around down there," Mai
continued, sitting next to the Egyptian hikari.

"We should probably check out the Moorish
castle," Malik commented, still poring over his pamphlet. "There's a
chance some of the artifacts that hold clues were moved there."

"We've got a couple of hours until the next
tour starts. I suggest we grab ourselves some lunch," the blonde hikari stated,
stretching her arms over her head.

"Sounds good to me," Marik replied,
grabbing Malik around his waist to lead the still-engrossed hikari away.

Noticing that the former king and queen had yet
to make any sort of response, Isis decided to help them out a little. She had a
feeling she knew what was wrong, she and the rest of Atem's court had gone through the
same thing back in Egypt.

"The sky looks strange without it, does it
not?" she asked, startling the two Atlanteans.

Blinking rapidly as he focused on the former
priestess, Hanasaki mumbled a soft 'yes' while Dartz nodded.

Isis gave them a warm smile, "Do not worry,
I am sure we will find it again."

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Once on the tour, the six yami and hikari played
tourist for a while "ooing" and "awwing" with the rest of the crowd
until they were able to safely ditch the tour group and search the lower tunnels on their
own.

After hours of finding nothing but dead ends and
empty caves they were starting to grow frustrated, but the two Atlanteans continued urging
them on, knowing that they would find something eventually.

Using a flashlight lit with his magic, Hanasaki
was scanning an odd alcove in the back of the large cave they had found. They had to
search each area carefully physically and magically for the sign and using the hybrid
flashlight would fool anyone that might run across them.

Sighting an oddly deep shadow, Hanasaki reached
forward and found a hidden niche. Realizing the flashlight still couldn't illuminate
the shadowed depression, the gray-eyed light frowned irritatedly. He'd seen this
effect before but how-? "Oh of course," he muttered self-reprovingly.
The solution was incredibly simple. {Disperse!} he ordered the shadows that
were covering the niche, smiling in approval when they moved quickly, revealing a familiar
symbol.

Excited the orange-haired teen called out to the
others, "Guys look! I think we're finally on the right track!"

The others rushed over to where the petite teen
was standing and looked at the wall where he was shining his flashlight.
"See? It was hidden by shadows, it's the-"

Ch-click!

"All six of you need to back out of the cave
slowly, with your hands on your heads. Now." A thickly accented voice
spoke, bringing their attention to the mouth of the cave. Standing just inside the
entrance was a small army of locals armed to the teeth, with every weapon aimed directly
at them.

Not wanting to cause a fuss, the yami and hikari
exited the cave without complaint, only to have their hands bound behind their back.
Then the ones that had tied them, grabbed hold of their arms or simply shoved them from
behind in the direction of the trail that lead away from the caves.

Feeling Marik summoning his powers, Malik quickly
contacted his dark with a warning, ((Marik, don't!))

((Akhu, we have done nothing to warrant
this treatment and they keep man-handling you!))

((Hush, they aren't hurting any of us. I'm
sure we can come to a peaceful resolution, WITHOUT having to resort to magic.))

((And if you're wrong?))

((Then you can have all the fun you want.))

((Promise?))

((Yes, now behave yourself!))

Walking for what seemed forever, occasionally
stumbling over the unpaved paths that were definitely not intended for tourists, the group
of yami and hikari were led steadily further and further up the cliffside.

Reaching the top, they could finally see what had
to be their destination and Malik couldn't help but comment, "Well, I guess we'll get
to see the castle after all."

Mai groaned shook her head, "Really
Malik."

"No talking!" one of the men barked,
making a move to strike the young woman. He quickly changed his mind upon
sighting the fierce glare Isis had leveled at him. Tied up or not, he had a feeling
the dark-skinned woman would maim him should he touch the blonde.

"Quit threatening the prisoners,
Nicholas! It is up to the elders to decide their punishment!" another snapped
at the man. "You do remember what happened to you the last time you struck a
prisoner without cause don't you?"

Glaring sullenly at the one who'd chastised him,
Nicholas moved to the back of the group of villagers, allowing another to take his
place. He knew better than to defy the elders again.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Hidden safely in the bushes, a red-headed
teenager and his younger brother watched the group of foreigners being led to the castle.
The two boys had been following the odd group all day and now were even more
curious than before.

"What do we do now, big brother?" the
boy asked once the group had moved out of ear shot. "I've never seen anyone
from the village take prisoners to the castle before!"

"Neither have I Miruko," the teen
replied thoughtfully, wondering why the elders would be determining their punishment
instead of the police.

"I don't think they've ever arrested anybody
for going in the lower caves either!"

Smirking down at his sibling, the teen ruffled
his hair fondly, "I think we should go and find out why, don't you?"

Miruko grinned excitedly at his brother,
"Yeah! Let's go!"

know. I used a translator program for these lines so some might be too formal or
literal.
