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.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Feet pounding the sidewalk in a steady rhythm,
one hand on the Sennen Puzzle's chain to keep it from bouncing painfully against his
chest, Yuugi jogged towards his destination: the Domino City stadium. Jogging
alongside him, Anzu was talking on her cell phone to Ryou, who had left his apartment
moments ago en-route to the same destination.
"Ryou-kun should get there shortly after we
do," she told her childhood friend as she slipped her phone back into her purse
without breaking stride.
Yuugi smiled, "That's great! I just
hope we get there in time to be in the finals."
The brunette gave him an odd look, " . . . .
Yuugi, it's five thirty in the morning and they aren't letting anyone in until
seven."
"But Anzu! There could be people
outside already waiting!" he fretted, increasing his pace anxiously.
Shaking her head, Anzu hurried after him.
Her little game boy . . . never a dull moment with him. "Yuugi! Slow down
or you'll wear yourself out!"
Even traveling on foot, they made good time and
arrived just after six o'clock. Much to Yuugi's delight and relief, the only other
duelists there were Kaiba and Jonouchi.
Of course Jonouchi and Kaiba had already known
the location of the finals, but just like the other duelists they had to win six key cards
to compete in the finals. The brunet hikari and his companions were waiting by the
wall next to the stadium entrance. Seto's back was against the wall with his arms
crossed over his chest, his blue eyes closed against the morning sun. Standing next
to him, Jonouchi was in the same position, except his head had lolled over to rest on the
brunet's shoulder where he was snoring lightly. Seated on the ground next to them,
Honda had Mokuba resting on his lap, both boys also appeared to be asleep.
Blue eyes snapped open and locked onto the
approaching pair as they came within a yard of their space. Recognizing the
tri-color-haired hikari and his bodyguard Kaiba inwardly relaxed, Seth praising his
improved senses.
"Yuugi. Mazaki."
Yuugi giggled as Anzu rolled her eyes,
"Honestly Kaiba-kun. How long is it going to take before you'll call me
Anzu?"
The brunet hikari merely smirked in reply, making
the brunette female huff in annoyance.
"What did you do to Jonouchi-kun to wear him
out so badly?" Yuugi teased, hoping to distract the brunets and head off an impending
argument.
Woken by the conversation Mokuba yawned and gave
a sleepy giggle, "We had some pre-finals stuff to do today with Pegasus-san so
Nii-sama woke us all up at 4 this morning. Poor Jonouchi-ni and Honda-kun have been
falling asleep on their feet all morning."
"Ohayoo minna! (1)"
Ryou's bright and cheerful voice cut through the
quiet morning, jerking Jonouchi and Honda out of their slumber. Honey brown and
hazel eyes focused blearily on the smiling silver-haired teen approaching them before they
noticed that Yuugi and Anzu were already there.
"Looks like I'm the last of our group to
arrive!"
Yuugi nodded, "But you're only the fourth
finalist."
Ryou was surprised, "Really? I would
have thought there would have been at least one other duelist here before us. I
wonder who-?"
"Yuugi darling! I knew you would be
here!" an excited voice exclaimed just before a tall, pretty Chinese woman, wearing a
red China dress with her long black hair up in buns on either side of the top of her head,
swept the petite duelist into a tight hug, crushing his head against her ample chest.
"If I didn't know he was gay, I would be so
pissed off at her right now," Anzu muttered to Jonouchi who nodded his agreement.
"How much ya wanna bet Pharaoh's throwing a
conniption fit in the Puzzle?"
"Please, I know he's
throwing one."
Meanwhile being the polite guy he was, poor Yuugi
was having a great deal of trouble extricating himself from the Chinese duelist's tight
grip. Finally grabbing hold of her upper arms he managed to pulled his head back and
gasp for air. "Nice . . . to . . . see you . . . too . . . Vivian-san," he
panted.
The woman nuzzled his cheek affectionately,
"Oh Yuugi, it's been so long since we last saw each oth-hey!" she cut off with
an indignant cry when the petite teen was wrenched out of her arms. Scowling at the
man that had stolen Yuugi from her, she was taken aback by the dark glare he gave her as
he held the smaller teen in a very possessive embrace.
"Atem! What are you doing here?!"
Yuugi gasped in surprise, silently asking the same thing through their link, though his
tone was entirely different. ((Seriously. What. are. you. doing?!))
"I just wanted to be here for you during the
finals since I was unable to join you for the beginning of the competition," the yami
cooed innocently, getting a raised eyebrow from his light and nearly sending the rest of
their friends into hysterical laughter.
Annoyed by the strange man's attitude, Vivian
eyed the newcomer suspiciously. "Yuugi-kun, who is this?"
Embarrassed by his lack of manners, Yuugi's
cheeks colored slightly, making the Chinese duelist squeal in delight and his jealous yami
tighten his grip around his hikari's waist. "Vivian-san this is my boyfriend
Atem. Atem-koi, this is Vivian Wong, the Chinese Duel Monsters champion."
"Boyfriend?!" the woman exclaimed,
pouting sadly when the Japanese duelist nodded in confirmation. "Hmph.
Well, you had better take good care of him or you'll have to answer to me mister,"
she declared, jabbing the pharaoh in the chest for emphasis. "I won't stand for
anyone hurting Yuugi-kun."
Pleased by her unexpected acceptance of their
relationship and the fierce protectiveness she showed towards his light, Atem nodded his
agreement. But he still wouldn't trust her alone with his akhu.
Said light prodded his dark gently,l ((I'm still
waiting for that answer, Atem.))
With the threat of Vivian under control, Atem
settled his hikari more comfortably against him. ((What I said earlier was true, but
also our enemy already knows who we are and who was sealed into which items. We know
they had been monitoring us for some time before the attacks, so even if they do not know
who I am, they at least know of me.)) He nuzzled the crook of Yuugi's neck, ((Also I
believe that during the finals it would be best for at least two of us to already be fully
manifested.))
((Two?))
((Yes, Mana. She has been seen both at your
school and at the graduation ceremony with Anzu. I have already advised her to make
her appearance at the start of the tournament. Seth will have Seto make arrangements
to get us both in.))
Kissing the his lover's cheek, Yuugi gave him a
knowing look, he knew jealousy was an amazing motivational tool for a yami. ((And
how long after Vivian hugged me did it take for you to think of this?))
((. . . .))
((That's what I thought.))
"Whoa there Mutou! Looks like you
finally caught yourself the big one!" a familiar voice called out.
Grinning, Yuugi turned and waved cheerfully at
the fisherman duelist. "Ryouta-kun!" (2)
"Glad you made it man!" Jonouchi
thumped the spiky, blue gray-haired man on the shoulder in greeting. "I thought
I saw you at the opening ceremonies."
The dark-tanned duelist laughed agreeably,
"You did. I decided to avoid dueling with you lot until we met at the
finals."
Any further conversation was cut short by the
arrival of a very unwelcome competitor.
"Hee hee hee! (3) I expected to see Yuugi
and Kaiba, but I'm shocked that you made it here Jonouchi."
Turning to face the newest arrival, Jonouchi
glared darkly at the weasely-voiced duelist. "Haga," he gritted out,
visibly restraining himself from causing bodily harm to the light-green haired teen, with
the bowl hair cut, and huge round glasses. The two duelists shared a deep animosity
towards one another, stemming all the way back to the Duelist Kingdom tournament three
years ago.
"Must be nice having your boyfriend in
charge of a tournament," he sneered at the blond.
"Why you-!"
"Jonouchi-kun don't!" Yuugi,
Honda and Ryou leapt forward and latched onto the blond, barely stopping him from beating
the snot out of the annoying bug duelist.
Opening his mouth to taunt the restrained teen
again, his mouth clamped shut as Atem abruptly appeared in front of him, literally looming
over him despite the yami only standing a few centimeters taller. "I hope you
are not implying that either Jonouchi or Seto have been anything less than honorable in
their conduct. If you are, I may have to take . . . offense."
Wide-eyed in fear, the bug-obsessed duelist shook
his head rapidly and slowly backed away from Mutou's seriously terrifying boyfriend.
Scuttling over to the wall, he nearly squealed in terror when he spotted the even darker
glare being given to him by Seto Kaiba himself and hurriedly tried to make himself as
invisible as possible.
Fortunately for him, the eighth finalist was
approaching the assembled duelists putting every light, dark, and ms-n hwi
on high alert. Each teen struggling not to show how tense his presence was making
them. Siegfried Von Schroider had arrived.
Walking up to the group, Siegfried's eyes
narrowed at the tri-color-haired yami and hikari. 'So Per-aA
chose to make an appearance then?' His men had kept him up to date on the entire
tournament, informing him of the kkwy's odd absence. To
Siegfried it was obvious that the dark creatures were keeping hidden watch on their light
halves, so he was mildly surprised by the sudden appearance of one until he spotted Vivian
Wong pouting off to one side. Knowing of her intense fixation on the world's number
one and two top duelists, he easily guessed what had occurred before his arrival. 'I
see, jealous someone else was touching your akhu,
Per-aA? Don't worry, I'll send you both to the afterlife together.'
"Good morning duelists!" Pegasus
greeted the assembled teens, a cheerful smile on his face, Cynthia standing beside him, a
laptop case in her hands. "As soon as Croquet and Isono get everything ready
we'll get started," he explained, gesturing to the table Isono and Croquet were
setting up. Isono then taking a small, rectangular scanning device out of a locked
box and setting it up on one side of the table while Croquet took the laptop out of the
case Cynthia was carrying and set it up on the other side.
"Now if you would all line up and put your
key cards into the scanner, we can move on to the next phase." One by one, each
duelist followed the directions and after they inserted their sixth card, the system
registered and congratulated them on making it to the finals.
As the last of the duelists was confirmed, the
signal went out to the computers of the employees at Kaiba Corp and Industrial Illusions
in charge of advertising and media. Within minutes, advertisements went on the air
worldwide, announcing the location of the finals, the time they would begin, and what
channel they would be aired on. Tickets for the event had been sold out for months,
the purchasers aware that the tournament's specific location in Domino would not be
revealed until mere hours before the tournament finals began.
"Duelists, if you will follow me I'll fill
you in on the details of today's events before you sit down for a brief press
conference. Afterwards you will be treated to a fabulous breakfast buffet, catered
by one of the finest restaurants in Domino City."
Unable to say anything without unknown parties
overhearing them, Yuugi, Ryou, Seto, and Jou bade good by to their friends and headed
inside. Those left behind watched tensely as the gates shut, each one lost in their
own thoughts.
A loud growl caught their attention and they all
gave the younger Kaiba an astonished look.
Blue eyes blinked in surprise, "That was
almost as loud as Jonouchi's stomach."
Mokuba grinned at his older companions, "I'm
going through a growth spurt," he defended, not looking the least bit upset about the
comparison. "How about we go snag some breakfast, Nii-sama's treat."
Honda grinned back, "Sounds good to me
kid."
"I will return to the puzzle until it is
time for the duels to begin," Atem told them, checking first to see if anyone was
watching before vanishing.
Looking back at the stadium, Anzu frowned
nervously. "They'll be fine Anzu," Honda reassured her, "Jonouchi's
tougher than he looks and they've got Atem, Seth, and Bakura with them."
"I know."
Mokuba grabbed their hands and started pulling,
"C'mon, let's go get some breakfast, I'm starving!"
