Summary: Sequel to Retrieving Destiny. 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.

Author Note: I've finally settled on a
shipping name for Dartz and Hanasaki. See I've been doing some poking around and
have learned that apparently no one has ever used this pairing before, so I needed to give
it a "shipping" name. After much thought and internal debate, I've
decided to name the pairing: legendshipping. If you know of another cannon
pairing that uses this name, let me know and I'll come up with something else, but as far
as I know, there are no pairings/relationships with this title. (Gx and 5Ds does not
count. Those are different series and I believe I've seen a couple shipping names
from the original list in those too, again correct me if I'm wrong.) Just to repeat,
I'm calling the Dartz x Hanasaki pairing: Legendshipping. ^_^v

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Two weeks had passed since Siegfried had met with
Kadir, the representative of his acolytes' descendants and much had changed since
then. The first order of business was meeting with the elders.

Understandably, they were more than a little
suspicious of Siegfried's claims and had demanded proof of his claim. Coordinating
between them, Kadir tackled the difficult task of arranging for them to meet in a neutral
location that both sides approved of.

It took Siegfried all of sixty seconds to
convince them of his true identity.

With that out of the way, he ordered a gathering
of all his acolytes in order to cement his leadership and begin the next phase in his
plans. To his utter disdain, the full number of men, and they were ALL men, totaled
less than one hundred. He had commanded more than three times that number when he
took the throne and had increased the people in his following to numbers in the thousands
by the time of his death. Looking over the outdated charters, he quickly spotted
several problems, first being the exclusion of women: Some of his best sorcerers
were women and his best strategist had been a woman as well. Other problems included
the addition of odd rituals and qualifications clearly set to elitist standards that left
the common man in the dust. This would not do. This would not do at all.

Even with the scant numbers, he still had enough
men to begin. Dividing the best of them into three groups, he set them to their
tasks: The most intelligent of the men were sent to Egypt, in order to locate and
retrieve the Sennen Items. The power the Items would give them would be a definite
asset to their weakened group. For the men who were the least conspicuous and most
discrete, their destination was Domino City, Japan. Siegfried wanted to know exactly
how many akhu and ms-n hwi had been reincarnated and if they had
accessed any of their powers yet. Finally, the most charismatic and personable men
were charged with the task of recruiting new members. Throwing out the old charters,
Siegfried gave them HIS restrictions on who or who not to recruit. A few of the
older members had protested at this, but were quickly silenced by a well-placed blast of
magic.

In just under a week the men he'd sent to Egypt
returned with dire news: the Items were no longer in Egypt. By infiltrating
the archaeological dig site at the old capital of Memphis, his agents had found one of the
tomb guardians and had extracted what information they could before disposing of
him. From their "informant" they learned that under the guise of a school
trip, the Sennen Items and the Orichalos pendant had been placed in the care of six high
school students and one college student.

Upon learning what had occurred the sorcerer
threw a fit that rivaled a raging thunderstorm, flinging furniture about and breaking
nearly every item in his office in the process. Once he managed to calm himself, the
young CEO ordered his men to find out who these students were and where they had come
from. It didn't take long for them to confirm his suspicions, the students had come
from Domino High and Domino University.

Over the last two weeks, his agents in Japan had
been keeping him fully updated by sending him regular reports on their findings.
Setting the latest report back onto his desk, Siegfried turned in his chair to face the
outer window. His acolytes had just confirmed the worst of his fears: the akhu
he had first killed in Khemet had all returned and were in possession of the Items!
They had only seen two Items so far, the puzzle and the tauk, but the other akhu
were on the list of students from the dig.

A deep sense of frustration welled up in the
teenage CEO, after all the work he'd done in his previous life, all his accomplishments
had been undone! All of the training, the sacrifices, the years of agonizing work! .
. and he would have to do it all over again.

Well, not everything perhaps.

It seemed that despite the akhu's
return, their species had greatly reduced in number. And in this day and age, the
creatures would have to remain in hiding for fear of being captured or killed by the
authorities. Even better he knew that they had no where to hide since the shining
city of Atlantis was no more. He'd seen to that personally.

Not long after he had successfully secured his
position as the new pharaoh of Khemet, he had faced a challenge greater than any he had
faced before: the fearsome army of Atlantis. The people of Atlantis had not
taken kindly to the assassination of the entire royal family and under the command of
former King Ironheart, the entire Atlantean royal army had descended upon the palace,
determined to get revenge for their fallen royals and their allies.

The battle was long and difficult, especially
with humans from the former pharaoh's court sabotaging their efforts from within.
Things had gone considerably better once they ferreted out last of the human traitors, but
the battle was still long and ugly. In the end, Amaht� and his sorcerers triumphed
over the Atlantean army, driving them back into their own lands to lick their
wounds. Then to protect themselves from any future conflict, and to show the fate of
any who betrayed the human race, he and his sorcerers, escorted by their finest warriors,
marched to Atlantis and destroyed the floating city. Amaht�'s only regret was that
the final spell had been so powerful that it had obliterated any trace of the once
beautiful stronghold. He would have liked to have watched the twisted rubble crash
into the ocean.

With Atlantis gone, Siegfried knew that the
reborn Atlantean Queen Tryphon, now Tomoya Hanasaki, had far less power than he had
before. Even if he had his king to assist him. Besides the Atlantean, there
seemed to be a total of six akhu and two ms-n hwi that had been
reincarnated: Yuugi Mutou was without a doubt the pharaoh's light and would be the
most powerful of the group. The petite King of Games had been seen wearing the
completed Sennen Puzzle, a feat neither Amaht� nor his acolyte's had been able to
accomplish, and doubtlessly had set the per-aA (1) Atem free.

The akhu and ms-n hwi
pair: Seto Kaiba and Katsuya Jonouchi, were together and Siegfried highly suspected
that the other CEO had been reunited with his darkness. It would explain why the
Japanese teen had magic flowing through his aura. The idea of facing the pharaoh,
his high priest, and the king of Atlantis again, left a bad taste in his mouth.

Adding to his frustrations were the four other
lights his men had found in Domino: Hiroto Honda, Mai Kujaku, Ryou Bakura, and Malik
Ishtar, plus the ms-n hwi Anzu. Power wise, he wasn't as worried about them
as he was the others. The kkwy Bakura and Marik were powerful, but not on
the same level as the pharaoh and his high priest. The other three and their mates
were of inconsequential strength. Annoying, but nothing he couldn't handle even at
his current strength.

Knowing that surprise would be their best
defense, Siegfried knew that attacking them quickly with multiple target hits would be the
best way to remain undetected for the longest stretch of time. Fortunately for them,
most of akhu attended the same school and hung out together frequently, making
them easy prey. Now if they could arrange a few "accidents" . . .

Summoning his men best suited for his job,
Siegfried carefully laid out the foundation for their plans. "We must act with
extreme caution and discretion," he warned them. "If the kkwy
become aware of an active threat to their akhu, they will react violently in
their defense. These creatures rely on one another, in an almost symbiotic
state. Kill one and you make the other vulnerable to attack. However, if these
creatures become aware that someone is actively hunting them we will have to battle them
magically."

"But Master, you were able to defeat them
before-"one acolyte began to say.

Faster than he could see, a hand whipped out and
struck his face. "Silence you fool! When I defeated the pharaoh and his
priests, I had invested years of my life into planning my attack! The sorcerers
working for me had trained almost non-stop for years in preparation for our glorious
battle! Even the strongest of you are mere novices in comparison! The
pharaoh's akhu has successfully completed the Sennen Puzzle which means the
pharaoh is free and he will surely have released the others. And unlike their akhu,
they have the benefit of a lifetime of training!" he roared at the man cringing
before him.

Calming himself he addressed the whole group,
"No. We shall begin subtly. Kill as many of the wretched, untrained akhu
as possible without raising their suspicions, while the rest of us continue to recruit and
train."

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

Unaware of the impending danger, life
continued normally in Domino . . .

"So would you like to explain how this
happened to me again?" Malik asked, gesturing with his hand to Marik's entire
multi-colored body.

"Not especially," the yami replied meekly from his seat on the lid of their
toilet, being careful not to make eye contact with his hikari. Fearing his own
safety he'd tried checking Malik's mood through their link, but his light had erected a
barrier, albeit a weak one, that the dark currently did not want to try and get
around. Especially if Malik was angry.

What Marik didn't know was that there was a very good reason for the Malik to keep his end
of the link blocked off. He really didn't want his poor dark to know just how funny
he thought this was. It seemed that the mischievous darkness had finally gotten his
just desserts for all the pranks he'd played on his older sister.

Marik looked so sheepish that it was taking him a supreme amount of effort not to laugh,
but his lover was making it so hard! Even after the teen had managed to clean off
the assorted makeup, paints, and creams from his mate, he still hadn't gotten the bright
pink hair dye out of the cornsilk-blond colored spikes of hair that adorned his yami's
head.

Even with the earlier explanations Malik had pried out of Marik, he still wasn't entirely
clear as to what had occurred. All he knew for sure was that Marik and Bakura had
gotten bored (a dangerous thing at any time) and had snuck off to cause mischief at Isis'
and Mai's home only to have their entire scheme blown back in their faces by the older
women.

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

"You realize that you're going to clean the
tub out when we've finished, right?" Ryou asked his darkness as he scrubbed
vigorously at a particularly stubborn blotch of green on his yami's back.

Grateful that his hikari wasn't angry and that he
wasn't being scolded, Bakura nodded docily. When he and Marik had returned home,
dripping paint, dye and assorted other things they'd expected the worst. Thankfully
both lights had simply shared a resigned glance across the hall, then dragged their
respective darks inside their apartments and straight into the bathrooms.

Now Bakura's multi-colored clothing was currently
being soaked in the kitchen sink (Ryou wasn't sure if he could save the shirt, but hoped
to at least salvage the jeans.) and he was standing naked in the shower while he and Ryou
attempted to remove the paint and dyes from his body.

"I don't know if we'll be able to wash all
this out," Ryou sighed, fingering a wet lock of Bakura's new electric blue hair.

"I might be able to get it out with shadow
magic."

Another sigh. "Just be careful you
don't make it worse."

The incredulous yami turned to stare at his
light, "How could this possibly get any worse!" he exclaimed,
pointing at his hair.

Ryou shrugged, "Well, better this blue stuff
than being completely bald."

Bakura stared wide-eyed at his hikari for a full
minute before returning to his scrubbing. He could get used to blue.
