I do not own Yugioh GX! This is the first story that I've written. Yugioh GX is my favorite I do not own Yugioh GX! This is the first story that I've written. Yugioh GX is my favorite Yugioh series. So, I'm trying my best to satisfy you all, so please view and comment if you wish! On a side note, I added some character's names such as Devil May cry Kingdom Heart, Final Fantasy! As well as NEW cards that are not real. Also, I may switch up a few things! For example, if Kaiba has his god card he's going to have it. I know he lost it to Yugi, but this is fanfiction so things may be switched up, or even some of the effects of the new cards that I mentioned may have effects that can't be done, well again its fanfiction so it can be a switch.
What's up, guys? Saintalpha7 here, before we get started since I've been late like big time, I've decided to extend this story a bit more, I think about making it either 35 or 40 chapters. I'll be having more time with my stories since I have a lot more free time. But it's good to be back, my apologies for an overdue chapter. I won't be focusing on any other stories until I finish this one. Because I want to complete this story and get on with the sequel to it. Let's recap on the last chapter. Jaden faces Dartz in a duel that is completely difficult, why? Because has a deck for him to summons without sacrifices. Dartz claims that Jaden has yet to unlock to full powers of the Supreme King and in order for Jaden to defeat him and Armageddon, he needs to unlock that power. So, Dartz summons four monsters the revivals of the Egyptian gods and this is only four of them, Dartz still has three more. Meanwhile Xehanort suggested for everyone to find people to help them for the coming for, Vanitas takes Yugi, Atem and Tea to get Marik and his family, Kaiba and Mokuba is to find Zigfried and his brother, Joey and Tristian goes with Roxas and Xion to get Mai, Duke, and Serenity and finally Xehanort and Rafael are to find Alister and Valon. Jaden stares into the power of the Atlantean guardians, how will Jaden defeat them, and will he unlock the true powers of the Supreme King? Only one way to find out! On a side note, the next story will be big, and I know there weren't any good moments for Jaden and Alexis. Perhaps after this chapter and I do a reboot of the story, I will add a chapter that will have their moments. You guys will know if it happens if you desire for that to happen. In the meantime, hope you all enjoy this chapter!
Egypt Present time.
A portal opens up, Vanitas, Yugi, Atem, and Tea come out of the portal.
Yugi- Looks like we're here.
Vanitas- Do you know where they live?
Yugi- That will be the hard part, it's been years.
Tea- I can call Ishizu and see if I can find out where they are.
Vanitas- Yes, do that. But, be on your guard, I'm sure Armageddon will expect us to get Marik and his siblings.
Tea takes out her phone, Yugi looks at Atem.
Yugi- You're concern, aren't you?
Atem- I am, Zorc and Anubis are back, and when Zorc showed up, and I can tell his power has improved now. This isn't going to be easy, Yugi. I believe fate brought me back to the present one last time to help you and Jaden.
Yugi- Maybe this time you could stay.
Atem- I don't think it will be that easy, Yugi, you know that.
Yugi puts his head down.
Yugi- Yes, I know…
Vanitas looks around the area.
Atem- Vanitas, can I ask you something?
Vanitas looks at Atem.
Vanitas- What is it?
Atem- What time are you from?
Vanitas- Well, I'm from the same time as you are but in a different dimension. Why do you ask?
Atem- Armageddon seems to be a character of many mysteries, is he from your dimension?
Vanitas looks away from Atem.
Vanitas- I wish I knew, as far as I know, he is from my dimension, as for what time… I don't know… because something puzzles me about him.
Yugi- And what's that.
Vanitas- Every time I look at Armageddon, I feel like I know his presence, his presents have a familiar feeling.
Atem lowers his eyebrows.
Atem- Like who?
Vanitas- A presence that has the same feeling as myself, my father and my son…
Yugi- Do you think it's possible that you guys are descendants of Armageddon?!
Tea looks at the three boys.
Vanitas- Somehow, I doubt it… because there is something about Armageddon that I do not recognize… as for what… I wish I knew.
Yugi puts his knuckles to chin and thinks.
Yugi- Let's hope Pegasus can find something out.
Tea puts her phone away.
Tea- It's no use, I couldn't get a hold of her.
Vanitas looks forward.
Vanitas- I didn't think this would be easy. We should split up; we can cover more ground this way. I can go on my own, you three stick together.
Yugi- Right, here is a picture of them.
Yugi hands Vanitas a photo. Vanitas looks at it.
Vanitas- Got it.
They split apart.
Island Present time.
Armageddon is on top of a volcano with his hands behind his back. Luce walks and bows to him.
Luce- My Lord, Armageddon.
Inside of Armageddon's hood glows.
Armageddon- What is it?
Luce- I have brought you what you requested.
Armageddon turns around.
Armageddon- Oh? Show me.
Luce stands up and hands him a card.
Armageddon- Excellent…
Armageddon's hand is covered with darkness. The darkness covers that card, he throws it into the volcano. Zorc appears.
Zorc- Did he find it?
Armageddon- Yes… now your vessel will be reborn!
The volcano erupts with lava and darkness. The lava goes into the sky and forms into an orb. The orb starts to get smaller. It slowly floats down to the ground. Zorc stares at the orb, it shows a human body in it, curled into a ball.
Luce- This will be fitting…
The orb cracks, a piece breaks off, the human opens his dark goldish, brownish eye. Armageddon takes another card; it flows with darkness. He throws it into the orb and goes through the person's heart. The person's eyes widen and place his hands to his chest. A shadow snake-like monster wraps its tail around the person, the snake forms into a monster that is familiar to Atem and Yugi. A demon with a snake as a tail.
Luce- Excellent, my Lord, this will be perfect!
Armageddon- Indeed, it will...
The being had calmed down; the lava orb begins to crack more. Zorc stares at the orb.
Zorc- Now, Yugi and Atem do not stand a chance against me...
Armageddon raises his arm and opens his hand.
Armageddon- You have been reborn... Yami Bakura.
Yami Bakura opens his eyes. His body glows with red energy and darkness. He comes out of the ball form and shoots his body. The orb shattered.
Yami Bakura- GAAAHHHHHHHH!
Dark energy waves come out of his body. Yami Bakura relaxes his body and stares at his hands.
Yami Bakura- I... I am alive?! But how?
Armageddon- By me, Bakura.
Bakura looks at Armageddon. He floats to the ground and stares at Armageddon.
Yami Bakura- Ah... I've sensed your power once before...
Armageddon- Glad to know that you remember how you were made. I brought you back from the dead to get revenge on Atem and Yugi
Bakura is integrated by Armageddon's words. He crosses his arms.
Yami Bakura- I'm interested in this plan...
Armageddon- I'd hope you would say that. I say this because Zorc and yourself will be working as a team.
Bakura is astonished, he looks behind Armageddon and sees Zorc in his new shaped form.
Yami Bakura- Ah! Zorc, the Dark One! You have also been reborn!
Zorc- That's right, and we are stronger than ever before!
Yami Bakura- I like this... so, what is there to be done?
Armageddon- I want you to get used to your new power.
Yami Bakura- Hm…
Bakura holds his hand up, black aura flows around it.
Yami Bakura- I'm sure I can handle this new power… I'm a part of Zorc after all.
Armageddon- Yes, that's right… But this time, you really are a part of him, you both no longer share the same body.
Yami Bakura- Hm?
Bakura senses Atem and Yugi in Egypt.
Yami Bakura- Ah… so it seems that Atem and Yugi are in Egypt.
Armageddon looks far into the distance.
Armageddon- So it seems…
Eraqus- My Lord, I also sense that Vanitas is there with him too.
Armageddon nods.
Armageddon- Yes… and it appears that Xehanort is somewhere else on the planet… I guess they are getting everyone they need for war… That's fine with me. They still won't be able to stop me.
Armageddon looks up and sees the Star of Oblivion getting brighter.
Armageddon- It is nearly here… Eraqus, bring me… her.
Eraqus- You're sending her?
Armageddon- Yes, I want Vanitas to see what he will be up against.
Eraqus- At once.
Eraqus is about to leave.
Armageddon- Wait…
Eraqus looks at his master.
Armageddon- I also sense that Kaiba, Joey, and Rafael are on the move too… hm…
Armageddon is thinking.
Armageddon- I have an idea… yes… Eraqus, you prepare Bakura, Zorc and her to ambush Yugi, Atem, and Vanitas. And Luce…
Luce looks at his master. Inside of the hood, eyes glow, an image of appeared in Luce's eyes. Luce nods.
Luce- Of course, I will go and find him. Do you think he's still alive?
Armageddon- Yes, once you find the area let me know, I will get in contact with him.
Luce- Yes, my Lord, now what of Joey?
Armageddon- Not to worry, I will take care of that, I've already come up with a plan to shake him to the core. Now, you two go.
Luce and Eraqus bows and disappears with Yami Bakura. Armageddon looks at Nightshroud.
Armageddon- Now I have a task for you. I need you to find these two.
Armageddon puts a vision into Nightshrouds head.
Nightshroud- Of course, I'll bring them both once it's time.
Nightshroud nods and disappears.
Armageddon continues to stare into the dark clouds.
Armageddon- Vanitas, this will not be an easy war for you…
Zigfried's castle.
Seto's jet hovers over the castle.
Mokuba- Seto, we are clear to land. I've already notified Leon of our arrival.
Kaiba- Sigh… I'm not looking forward to seeing this pink hair freak…
Mokuba- Seto, we're going to need his help, him and his brother.
Kaiba- I'm aware of that Mokuba, but I can't stand Zigfried. It was because of him that my tournament was nearly damaged along with my company. After Dartz damaged the company, it took me a while to get the reputation. It was going great until Zigfried came into the picture. I don't know if I can trust him.
Mokuba- We won't know until we talk to him.
Kaiba is irritated by the fact that he has to associate with his one companies archrivals. Kaiba looks at the castle.
Kaiba- Ugh… fine, let's get this over with.
Leon stands out by the landing area. He waves to the Kaiba brothers.
Leon- Hey! Mokuba, Seto!
Mokuba runs to Leon.
Mokuba- It's been a long time, Leon! Thank you for having us on short notice.
Leon- It's no trouble at all. I told my brother of your arrival; he's looking forward to seeing you two.
Kaiba crosses his arms and turns away from Leon.
Kaiba- Please, the only thing he looks forward to is how to make his hair pinker.
Mokuba got irritated and kicks Seto in the leg.
Kaiba- Ow! Dammit, Mokuba!
Mokuba- Be nice, dammit!
Mokuba looks at Leon.
Mokuba- Sorry about that.
Leon- It's fine, his ego hasn't changed I can see. Please follow me. Zigfried is waiting for us in his office.
The Kaiba brothers follow Leon. As they walk, Seto stops for a moment and turns around. He lowers his eyebrows with suspicion. Mokuba and Leon turns to Seto.
Mokuba- Hey, you OK?
Seto scans the area.
Kaiba- Hm…
Seto turns back to the young teens and walks.
Kaiba- Nothing… It must be my imagination, let's go.
Mokuba looks concern, Leon taps on his shoulder.
Leon- Let's go.
Mokuba nods and walks with the other two. Seto is in deep thought.
Kaiba- My mind better not be playing tricks on me again…
Zigfried's office.
Leon knocks on the door.
Leon- Hey Zigfried, it's me, Leon. I got the Kaiba brothers with me.
Zigfried- Excellent, little brother. Please come in.
Leon opens the door. The three walked in, Zigfried has his elbows to the desk and his hands to the mouth. He stares at his rivals.
Zigfried- Welcome, my dear friends to my humble home. Please make yourselves home, shall I prepare tea for you guys?
Kaiba- No, I don't drink tea.
Mokuba- No thank you, Zigfried.
Zigfried- Very well, please have a sit. From what my little brother told me; it must be important to come this way on short notice.
The Kaiba brothers sat down and faced the Von Schroeder brothers.
Mokuba- That's right, a lot has happened in the past few days. To be honest, my brother and I still are having a tough time understanding this ourselves.
Zigfried looks at Mokuba.
Zigfried- Hm… let me guess, it involves the destruction of Domino City?
Seto and Mokuba are surprised by Zigfried's words.
Kaiba- How did you know that?!
Zigfried points to the T.V.
Zigfried- My brother and I saw it on the news. At first, we couldn't believe it either, but we flew past through it and saw nothing of the city. It is certainly is a terrible loss for all of those people how died.
Leon- But what still puzzles us if how it happened. I'm guessing you guys know?
Kaiba- Yes… we were there. It's hard to put it into pieces of how it happened. But what I can gather in is in the mix of this powerful being that lived for God knows how long. He is the reason that the city is no more.
Leon- A single person? That can't be right!
Mokuba- For a single human being perhaps… but this person isn't human…
The Von Schroeder brothers are stunned by Mokuba's words.
Zigfried- Not human?! There is no way!
Seto looks at the Zigfried.
Kaiba- I thought the same thing, but let me ask you this, what other possible explanation can you give me that cause a whole damn city to be destroyed in a matter of seconds?! We as humans may have destructive weapons at our disposal, but what weapon do we have that can wipe out a huge city and not leave any trace behind?!
Zigfried- I suppose when you put it like that, it makes sense… but let's say that is true, what is it that you need from us?
Mokuba- Alright… first, I need to tell you the story, so you would understand…
Ten minutes have passed, Zigfried and Leon are stunned by Mokuba's story.
Zigfried- I see… and that's why you need our help?
Mokuba- That's right, this Armageddon character as gathered his forces or starting to. Xehanort wanted us to find people we know who will be willing to fight with us.
Zigfried stands up from his chair and walks to a window. He his troubled by Mokuba's story. He takes a deep breath and scans the endless plains of trees. Leon stands out of his chair and looks at his brother.
Leon- Zigfried, what do you say?
Zigfried ignores his brother's words and continues to stare. His face is a look of serious concern.
Kaiba- Ignoring us won't get us anywhere… I believe I know what's keeping you from answering us.
Seto stands up.
Kaiba- You don't believe us, do you?
Zigfried turns his head to Seto. Seto crosses his arms and gives the dead stare into Zigfried's eyes.
Kaiba- I'm going, to be honest with you, I was in the same predicament as well. Years ago, I didn't believe in magic or anything that was about the supernatural. Even to this day, I have a hard time believing such events. But what I've witnessed years ago and till now. I can clearly see that I cannot deny it. I always thought it was all mind tricks, just mere illusions, but unfortunately, they were not.
Mokuba looks at his brother.
Kaiba- It was no easy task for me to fully understand the mysteries of my past. Yugi and Atem kept on telling me about my ancient heritage, I kept on denying it, but once I saw everything when I went back in time and back… I slowly gained the truth. And now, this Armageddon character has destroyed a fucking city with cards! It can't be an illusion if the four of us can see it, let alone the whole world.
Leon- Zigfried, you know he has a point.
Zigfried- Yes, I know he has a point… but…
Zigfried turns away from Kaiba.
Zigfried- I can't put my brother's life in danger. I caused him enough pain when I used him to get my revenge on you and your company. What makes you think I can be a better of a brother to Leon if I drag him into a war that can possibly kill him.
Kaiba- I get where you're coming from, I feel the same way about Mokuba. But something I realized about this whole war here.
Zigfried looks at Seto.
Zigfried- And that is?
Kaiba- If we don't stop Armageddon, my brother won't be alive. That's why I joined in on this war, not for anyone else, but for the safety of my little brothers' life. I could take down this Armageddon character myself, but it seems that I am required to team up with people we know that can duel… Quite frankly, I'm not all happy for asking your help or even the fucking idiot, Joey Wheeler, but I'm doing this, so my brother stays alive.
Zigfried- Yes… you are right, Kaiba. But what makes you think we can even stop him?! If he can do this to a city, just think what he can do to us!
Kaiba backhands Zigfried in the face. Zigfried hits the ground.
Kaiba- Get a hold of yourself! You fucking coward, if that is what you're worried about then you can't keep your brother safe from anything!
Zigfried holds his cheek and looks into dispair. Zigfried shakes with fear.
Kaiba- You should see yourself right now… you're shaking, and you haven't left your home yet… You're a lost cause, come on Mokuba, we're leaving.
Mokuba- But, Seto!
Kaiba- That's enough, Mokuba. We wasted our time by coming here, I gave him the benefit of doubt and thought he would come to his senses to fight with us, even though we don't need him, but Yugi and Xehanort seemed to think we do need him. But I guess they were wrong about him. If he can't lose his fear of dying and understand the fact that he needs to keep his brother safe, then he will only be dead weight to us. So, let's go, Mokuba.
Seto walks out of the doors. Mokuba looks down with disappointment, he takes a step and turns to Zigfried.
Mokuba- Zigfried, if you want to have a chance to keep your brother alive, you know what you must do.
Zigfried looks at Mokuba.
Mokuba- I may not know what will be waiting for us in the war between us and Armageddon. But I can say that it won't end well for us if Armageddon wins and gets those six Paragon Stones.
Leon looks at his brother.
Leon- Zigfried, come on, they need us. And besides, this is our chance to make us for our mistakes. This is a chance for our company to do something right for a change.
Zigfried looks at his little brother. He is intrigued by how Leon is not scared of this war and how strong he really his.
Zigfried- Leon… once again, I envy your courage… you're not afraid to face anything, even it means coasting your life.
Leon- That's what I always do, I never let anything stop me. I think we can do something to end this war, to help not only this Jaden character but also the world. What do you say, Zigfried, let's help Seto and the others?
Leon holds out his hand. Zigfried stares at Leon's hand.
Leon- I can't do this alone, it's going to take all of us to beat Armageddon. If what they say is true about him, he's my enemy too and I can't allow him to destroy our home. We've worked so hard to make a name for our family, and I refuse to let Armageddon take that chance away.
Zigfried- Yes…
Zigfried stops shaking.
Zigfried- You are right, Leon. Let's join them and take Armageddon down!
Leon smiles and nods with thrill. Mokuba nods proudly, Zigfried reaches for Leon's hand. As he's about to grab Leon's hand, an armored claw breaks through the walls and grabs Leon's arm.
Leon- What's going on?!
Zigfried and Mokuba- Leon!
Kaiba hears both voices.
Kaiba- What the hell now?!
Kaiba runs back up the stair, Leon tries to break free from the claw, but the claw has a lot of resistance.
Leon- Let me go now!
Mokuba jumps and tries to pull Leon away from the claw.
Mokuba- Let go of my friend now!
Another claw breaks through the walls and grabs Mokuba by the face.
Kaiba- MOKUBA!
Seto stops as the claw grabs Mokuba by the face. Kaiba runs at the claw that holds Mokuba. He takes out a knife and stabs the claw's arm. The knife snaps, a third claw breaks through and smacks Seto and Zigfried from their little brothers. The third clawed arm wraps around Mokuba and Leon. Mokuba tries to break free, the claw shocks Mokuba, Mokuba yells with pain. Kaiba stands up.
Kaiba- No, Mokuba!
Kaiba and Zigfried runs to Mokuba and Leon, trying to get a hold of them, the claws pull the little brothers out of the castle and brings them outside. Kaiba and Zigfried failed to catch them in time.
Zigfried- Dammit! What do they want with them?!
Kaiba- I don't know, but no one takes my brother and gets away with it!
Luce- Is that so, Seto Kaiba?
Kaiba and Zigfried freaks out and turns to the doorway. Luce is in their sights with his arms crossed. Kaiba's eyes shrunk, he grains his teeth and show rage. Kaiba points to Luce.
Kaiba- I remember you! You were there when Domino city was destroyed! You're Armageddon's right-hand man, Luce!
Zigfried is looking at Kaiba.
Zigfried- Mokuba mentioned Luce in his story, didn't he?!
Luce- That the boy did… I am indeed the one and only Luce, the second master of the great Lord Armageddon's empire. I was ordered to track you down Kaiba.
Kaiba- Why track me down?!
Luce- Simple, my master wants to see how well you take on to this war. So, Armageddon decided to add someone to this war…
Kaiba- And who might that be?!
Luce smirks and stares at Kaiba.
Luce- Only one way to find out, you better go outside. Everything will be made clear, oh and uh, Zigfried. It's in your best interest you go as well. After all, your brother has also been taken too.
Zigfried- You bastard!
Zigfried takes one of the ax's and runs at Luce. Luce disappears as Zigfried swings at Luce. Zigfried hits the floor. Luce is behind Zigfried.
Luce- no point in fighting me, Zigfried. Best to go outside if you wish to save your brother.
Zigfried- Damn you-!
Luce makes a flash and blinds Kaiba and Zigfried. They open their eyes and sees Luce gone.
Kaiba- Where did he go?!
Luce- You're wasting time, go save your brothers!
Zigfried looks at Kaiba.
Zigfried- I don't think we have any other choice. Let's go get our brothers.
Kaiba- First smart thing you've said all day! Let's go!
Kaiba and Zigfried runs outside.
Front entrance of Zigfried's castle.
Seto and Zigfried rushes outside. Seto is scanning the area looking for his brother.
Kaiba- Where is my brother?!
Zigfried looks out in the open. He sees a figure in a black rope standing there looking at the two young adults. The figure's eyes glow. Zigfried puts his hand on Seto's shoulder.
Zigfried- Kaiba, over there!
Seto looks to where Zigfried is pointing. The figure slowly turns and walks deep into the woods.
Kaiba- I bet he has something to do with this!
Seto runs after the figure.
Zigfried- Kaiba, wait!
Kaiba- Save it! I'm going to get my brother!
Zigfried- Gr! Dammit, wait for me!
Zigfried runs after Kaiba. Luce floats on the top point of the castle watching Seto and Zigfried run into a trap.
Luce- Humph… pathetic morals… let's see if you have what it takes to face your past.
Armageddon appears behind Luce.
Armageddon- They took the bait?
Luce- Yes, they took as you planned.
Armageddon- Excellent… let's go meet with them.
They both vanished.
Large lake.
Seto and Zigfried stops at a large lake.
Zigfried- I saw him go this way! Where did he go?!
Kaiba- Gr! Come out and show yourself whoever you are! I want my brother back, taking my brother and running away only shows what a spineless coward you are!
Zigfried- Where is my brother too?! I want him back, come out and face us face to face!
Voice- Was I simply running away? Or luring you two into my trap?
Seto's eyes widen when he heard that voice as well as Zigfried.
Kaiba- …No… I know that voice…
Zigfried- How can this be?!
The ground starts to shake, the two lose their balance and fall to their knees.
Kaiba- An earthquake?
The lake starts to open up like the red sea. Stairs are forming, going down into the depths of the lake.
Voice- Come you two, if you wish to save your younger brother's lives, go down the stairs.
Seto has a huge amount of rage in his eyes.
Kaiba- If he's is of who I think he is… there is going to be a major problem!
Seto and Zigfried walks down the stairs. Minutes of silences later, they've stopped on at the bottom of the lake. All there is a large circle of dirt.
Zigfried- The trail stops here?!
Kaiba- Where is my brother?! I'm done playing games!
Voice- I never said this was a game. Why would the fates of two innocent young men be a game? You haven't changed, Seto.
The dirt platform they are starting on flashes at them both. They cover their eyes when they opened their eyes, they were in another dimension. They are in a place that seems the be the shadow realm. They are standing on a demonic-looking platform. Seto and Zigfried scan the area.
Kaiba- I'm not liking this…
Zigfried- Where… where the hell is, we?!
Voice- That is an easy question…
The two rich young men look forward, they hear footsteps. A man in a red suit and black tie with a cigar in his mouth walks slowly towards Seto and Zigfried. Seto's eyes widen, Zigfried backs up with fear.
Zigfried- No… it can't be… how did is he?!
The man opens his eyes and sees the two, he smirks from the left of his mouth. He stares at Seto.
Voice- What's wrong Seto, it looks like you've seen a ghost.
Seto's eyes show fire and rage. Seto points to the man.
Kaiba- I…I don't know how you are alive… but… you're not human anymore… Stepfather!
Gozaburo takes the cigar out his mouth and smirks at Seto and Zigfried. His eyes flash with red.
Zigfried- Where are our brothers?!
Gozaburo- Relax, Zigfried. Both of your brothers are safe and sound… but as for how long will depend on you two!
Kaiba- What do you mean?
Gozaburo smirks and shows his teeth.
Gozaburo- Humph! Just look and see!
Gozaburo snaps his fingers, chains rise out of the ground. Mokuba and Leon are torn apart, having cuts and bruises. They are being hung by their wrists with the chains being implanted into their forearms and wrists. They are dangling from the chains; they also have a chain around their necks. They are twitching with pain and fear. Mokuba slowly opens his eyes.
Mokuba- Se…to…
Seto's eyes widen again, but with fear and disappear. Zigfried sees his little brother in the same shape as Mokuba. Leon has blood traveling down from his head to the bottomless pit. Leon could barely speak, but Zigfried could hear the small sound of his dying little brother's voice. Zigfried holds out his hand.
Zigfried- No… Leon…
Zigfried starts to tear up, but slowly Zigfried makes a fist with anger. The tears were wiped off, he looks at Seto's Stepfather.
Zigfried- You… you monster! How can you do such a thing to my brother?! He has done nothing to you!
Gozaburo looks at Leon.
Gozaburo- That's where you are wrong, Zigfried. You see, I still have my enemies from your family. And Leon is a part of the family, which means he is my enemy. And with the new power that I control, I can do what I want and destroy anyone who gets in my way! Even it means killing the youngest of the enemies!
Zigfried- You've lost all of your humanity… I won't let you hurt or kill my little brother!
Gozaburo looks at Zigfried, he holds up his palm.
Gozaburo- Watch me…
A ball of electricity and fires the ball at Leon and Mokuba.
Kaiba and Zigfried- No!
A gold spark comes out of Seto's chest and goes in front of the boys and blocks the attack from Gozaburo.
Gozaburo- What?!
Kaiba and Zigfried looks at the spark as it grows bigger, forming into a human shape. Kaiba makes one step.
Kaiba- What is this?
Gozaburo looks at the figure.
Gozaburo- What is the meaning of this?!
Zigfried looks at Kaiba.
Zigfried- Kaiba… what did you do?!
Kaiba is just a surprised as the other two, however, he is more surprised by what the figure looks like. It was as if something in his past had awoken.
Kaiba- I… I don't know! But I know that figure!
The glow had died down and shows Priest Seto blocking the attack.
Gozaburo- What?! That looks like Seto!
Zigfried- There are two of you?!
Priest Seto looks at Kaiba.
Priest Seto- Just like the brave Pharaoh had save thee, I too shall protect my distant future's being!
Kaiba- I must be losing it!
Priest Seto- Don't deny this, my young ancestor… it was the truth that you had understood that brought me here. I shall protect the young ones as you take down the haven! And in case you still have any doubt, my Pharaoh wanted to have this!
Priest Seto throws Kaiba a card. Kaiba takes it and looks at it. His eyes widen.
Kaiba- It can't be…
Kaiba looks at Priest Seto, he nods at Kaiba.
Priest Seto- You know what you must do, take down the man who's shadow you've been living in for all of these years!
Kaiba stares at his ancient ancestor and to the card, he was just received. He makes a serious face and puts it in his deck and shuffles it. He looks at Zigfried.
Kaiba- Look, as much as I would rather take that tyrant down by myself, but your assists couldn't hurt.
Zigfried nods and puts his duel disk on.
Zigfried- Right, this tyrant has hurt my brother and yours. Let's take him down!
They both look at Gozaburo and walks towards him. Gozaburo looks at the two boys.
Gozaburo- So, you two think you can defeat me? The man that put fear in both of your eyes, the power of Gozaburo Kaiba?!
Kaiba- You should come to realize that your power cannot overpower both of us!
Zigfried- Whatever power you have; we'll take you down!
Armageddon- That will be an interesting duel.
The three rich men look up and see Armageddon floating in the air with his arms crossed.
Kaiba- Armageddon!
Zigfried- This is Armageddon?!
Armageddon- That's correct, Zigfried. I am the one who destroyed Domino City and it was I that brought Gozaburo back to life.
Kaiba- But his mind was destroyed in Cyberspace!
Armageddon- Yes, that is true, but I had Luce locate the area where you and the others were trapped in Cyberspace by Noah. Once Luce located him, I used my powers to connect with Luce, so I can contact Gozaburo from the destroyed base. Sure, the base was destroyed but the mainframe was still active and Gozaburo was still trapped in a prison of the network, a prison that I promised to break him out of, but in exchange, he would have to fight for me. He agreed, and I bestowed him a new body of his own. Now he is a new being and stronger than before.
Zigfried- But wait, couldn't you've just gone to any computer and find him there?!
Luce- Not quite, when Noah trapped him, he made it to where he could not leave the current area he was imprisoned.
Gozaburo- And if I were to do that, my mind would have been deleted and I would've permanently been dead. But once Armageddon told me that I could get my revenge on you and regain my power as the most powerful being in the world, I couldn't refuse!
Kaiba- So, does that mean that the Big Five are back too?!
Gozaburo- No, only I was brought back to life.
Armageddon looks at Kaiba and Zigfried.
Armageddon- Now you two, I'll leave you three alone, I'll leave you three to catch up.
Armageddon turns away from them.
Kaiba- Wait!
Armageddon remains his back faced to Kaiba.
Armageddon- If you wish to know more, you'll have to make through this duel.
Kaiba- Throughout everything… I have a feeling that you had something to do with my life… you influence it, didn't you?
Armageddon turns his head to Kaiba.
Armageddon- Humph… you catch on fast. But…
Armageddon turns his whole body to Kaiba.
Armageddon- If you wish to know, you must survive long enough to know the answers you seek.
Kaiba- I want to know them now!
Armageddon- So sorry, but I've run out of time. I must go take care of Joey Wheeler and his mission. Have fun bonding with your father.
Armageddon opens a portal.
Kaiba- Wait!
Gozaburo appears in front of Kaiba and grabs him by the neck and holds him up.
Gozaburo- I think not, Son, its time you and I caught up!
Gozaburo throws Kaiba back. Gozaburo has a duel disk.
Gozaburo- Let's have a father and son duel!
Kaiba grind his eye and readied his duel disk. Zigfried stand next Kaiba.
Zigfried- You have me to deal with too! I think he deserves the hard way, heir Kaiba?
Kaiba looks at Zigfried.
Kaiba- Humph, just don't get in my way.
The two gentlemen draw their cards, Gozaburo looks at them both.
Gozaburo- It makes no difference to me!
Gozaburo draws his cards.
Kaiba, Zigfried, Gozaburo- Let's go!
Beijing.
(Be advised, I know the age of Mai and Joey. But we all know that those two had some kind of romantic interest to one another. So, I'm going to have them both be the same age.)
A portal opens, Joey, Tristan, Xion, and Roxas come out of it. Joey looks around.
Joey- Alright, according to Xehanort, Mai should be here.
Xion- Hm… do you know exactly?
Joey- Uh… no… but Xehanort said she's here!
Roxas- Alright… where do we start?
Tristan looks at the Great Wall from a distance.
Tristan- Hey, how about we check there?
Tristan points, Joey and the other two look at the Wall.
Roxas- Well it is a start, better than standing here and wondering.
Joey- Yeah, I suppose you're right, let's go!
As they walk, from a far distance, Armageddon floats in the sky near the Great Wall.
Armageddon- Ah… they are here to see Mai? Ah Joey, your love for her never fails to amuse me…
Armageddon opens his hand with a black soul float on his hand.
Armageddon- This will test him… and her.
Great Wall.
Roxas walks by the edge of the Wall and looks down.
Roxas- So, Joey.
Joey looks at Roxas.
Joey- What's up?
Roxas- This Mai girl, she important to you?
Joey- What?!
Joey blushed a bit and turns away from Roxas.
Tristian- Yeah, that's his lover, HA!
Joey reaches to Tristian and puts him in a headlock.
Joey- HEY THAT'S PERSONAL YOU IDIOT!
Tristian- Easy there, boy!
Roxas smirks and shakes his head.
Roxas- Haha, you two are a classic.
Joey let's go of Tristian.
Joey- Well, maybe a little… mainly because she's one of my closet friends.
Xion nods.
Xion- She can duel, I know for sure.
Joey- Oh yeah, she can. But we lost contact with her because after she faced us when Dartz took control of her mind, she was distant from everyone.
Roxas- What happened?
Joey- Well, according to her, she felt alone. She had a nightmare over and over again about the Shadow Realm. She had dueled the evil Marik and lost, he then sent her mind to the Shadow Realm.
Xion- So, she knows about the Shadow Realm?
Tristian- That's right, but Atem and Yugi defeated him and brought her back.
Joey- But she can still remember the terrifying memories of that place to where she started to have nightmares, she was at the end of her ropes, she felt that she wasn't good enough as a duelist, she wanted to become strong enough, Dartz got to her and used the Orichalcos to control her.
Roxas- And she became merciless to you and the others.
Joey- Yeah, she thought if she could get rid of me and move on… but once she beat me, she saw what she did was wrong.
Xion looks forward.
Xion- It sounds to me that she was sent free when you were gone.
Joey- Yeah, but she was very powerful as a duelist, thanks to that Orichalcos, she became much stronger.
Roxas- I've heard about that power.
Tristian- And it is hard to believe that it has more power than we thought.
Xion- Oh yes…
Joey looks forward as he walks, he feels something strange around him. Joey stops and looks around, Tristian and the other two stops and looks at Joey.
Roxas- You OK?
Joey- You don't feel that?
The other three don't make a sound, but only to listen or to feel what Joey is talking about. Roxas and Xion lived up their heads and looks over the edge of the Wall. Tristian was last to notice that cold feeling, he puts his hands to his arms.
Tristian- Now I feel it… it is getting really cold…
Tristian looks over the Wall where Roxas and Xion are at and sees a huge dark cloud approaching. Roxas and Xion's eyes glow.
Roxas- Something is coming…
The wind starts to rage; Joey and the others cover their faces. Roxas slowly looks forward and Armageddon floating forward to the four. Roxas panics.
Roxas- Shit! Armageddon is here!
Xion- What?!
Joey- Great, just what we need!
Tristian- What now?! We can't take him!
Joey looks at Armageddon. From the inside of his hood, eyes flashes at Joey.
Joey- Alright, you, ugly freak of nature, I got your game right here!
Roxas- Not the time to act all tough!
Armageddon sees Joey in a fight stance and crosses his arms.
Armageddon- I must say, Joey… you sure do have a lot of courage in you than most of your allies.
Armageddon lands ten feet away from them.
Armageddon- But I forget, even the foolish can have false hope.
Joey- What's that mean?!
Armageddon- It means that you… all of you know that you can't win in a fight against me, whether it's through brute force or a duel… you cannot win.
Joey cracks his knuckles.
Joey- You sure about that? Let's test that theory.
Tristian- Joey you fucking idiot! You've seen what he can do! This guy is more dangerous than Marik, Dartz and shit even Zorc!
Joey- Yeah? Well, Joey Wheeler doesn't run from anybody, not even someone like him! It was because of him that all of this evil shit has started… and you know what, it was because of you that the Orichalcos was made, so made Dartz evil caused Mai to turn on us!
Armageddon remains silent.
Joey- Hell, it's because of you that the Shadow Realm was created, if it wasn't for you, Mai wouldn't have felt helpless!
Armageddon- Are you done?
Joey- What?!
Armageddon- Pathetic… You simple-minded fools do not understand of what I've done has been good for the fate of all dimensions!
Roxas- How is creating chaos to every dimension beings any good?!
Armageddon- You fools don't understand what madness that all dimensions have… if it were up to me, all dimensions would recreate… just so it can be made a new… be reborn to become perfect.
Xion- Bringing chaos to every dimension won't make them perfect, let alone destroying them!
Armageddon- You all clearly don't understand the true nature of the stones. If one were to have all the stones, they could destroy and recreate the dimensions! I wanted to, you could combine them all and have all serve one god, this way there will be nothing of sin, only good and control!
Tristian- But what you're saying isn't human!
Armageddon- Neither is the actions you humans do every day.
Joey- What do you mean?
Armageddon- Sigh… I've witnessed things that are not meant to be forgotten… I've watched my world fall but those who are evil… my family… my innocent family was taken from those who desire nothing but pain and suffering, my home… my life was taken from me. So, the hands of fate chose me to redo everything… get my home, my family… everything back.
Xion- I still don't understand how causing chaos will bring anything back!
Armageddon- Oh… you miss understood me, I never said I wanted everything back.
Roxas- But you said you lost everything of those who are evil!
Armageddon- Yes, I did say that… but I want more than that… I want to control everything; I will be the god of the new dimension that is made of all twelve dimensions.
Joey- That isn't going to happen on our watch, Armageddon!
Armageddon looks at Joey.
Armageddon- Oh? And who is going to stop me? In case you've forgotten, the only one who has a shot of defeating me was sent back in time to get another pond that I used. Vergil tried to defeat me, but it was not enough, not even the cards that his family gave him was enough, so tell me, what makes you think that you or anyone else has a shot of beating me?
Joey- Because we've never failed before when it comes to defeating evil freaks like you! Defeating you and your army will be like a cakewalk!
Armageddon- Sigh… such a naïve boy, he has heart… but the heart is nothing but fear and false promises, well if you think you can stop me… then try it!
Armageddon raises his arm and blows the four of them away. All four of them hit the wall, Armageddon floats off the wall. He holds out a card.
Armageddon- If you think you can stop me, then prove it, Wheeler!
The card glows, everyone near the Great Wall hears a loud roar coming from the card. Dark waves begin to come out of the card, the waves hit the Great Wall and slowly destroying it, as the waves get longer, the forest around the Wall is slowly decaying, dark clouds gather around the area, wind and lighting rages through the lands, slowly one by one, people are being sucked up into the air by the wind. Joey opens his eyes and widens. A huge hurricane has formed. Armageddon stares at Joey.
Armageddon- Let's see if you can stop this onslaught! Now die!
Roxas- Come on, RUN!
All four of them run away from the hurricane. Armageddon stares down at them.
Armageddon- Humph, run, rats run… but you will get nowhere!
The hurricane slowly begins to shrink. The card glows and flows with dark energy. The card has the same glow as the Seal of Orichalcos. Joey turns around and notices the card.
Joey- What is the freak doing?! Gr!
Joey's feet slides, being pulled closer to the card.
Tristan- No! Joey is getting pulled in!
Xion- We have to get him!
Joey- No! Stay back!
Joey takes out a pocketknife and stabs it into the ground and holds him steady. Joey grins as he stares at Armageddon. The wind and the people that were captured in the hurricane was sucked into the card. The wind stops.
Tristan- What on earth did he just do?!
Roxas- He… he sacrificed souls and bodies of innocent people to create a force of evil… That glow…
Xion- It's the same glow as the Seal of Orichalcos!
The card bursts and forms a human-size orb of darkness. Joey stands up and grinds his teeth. From a distance, a female in purple stands on a mountain top watching Joey. She takes off her helmet, her blonde hair falls to her chest. She tightens her grip. The dark orb lands to the ground facing Joey.
Joey- I don't like this… I know what he's doing…
Armageddon flows down, hovering over the orb.
Armageddon- From the deeps of the darkness in both of their hearts, I summon you as your own being, rise and take you revenge in which you've started! I give you, your own life! Be born!
The orb shatters, black mist comes out, Joey covers his face. He uncovers his face and looks forward. He grins and tightens his fist.
Joey- Shit… not this evil in her heart again…
A female with blonde hair and purple biker clothing stands up tall, her eyes flash red. Tristan's eyes widen.
Tristan- No…
Joey- Mai…
Dark Mai smirks. A black seal of Orichalcos duel disk appears on her left arm and turns on. A deck of cards comes to her hand.
Dark Mai- Hah… you thought you could get rid of me Wheeler, but now I'm back. But this time, you won't escape me or be set free this time!
Roxas and Xion stares at Dark Mai.
Tristian- Oh no this evil bitch again! Joey, you can't duel her!
Roxas- I don't think he has a choice in the matter.
Joey's duel disk has been activated.
Joey- This is crazy! I can't duel you, Mai!
Armageddon- Oh, but you will, Joey. Because if you don't…
Armageddon snaps his fingers. A portal opens, Joey's eyes widen.
Joey- No!
Nightshroud comes out of the portal with Serenity and Duke in his grip. They are out cold.
Joey and Tristian- Serenity, Duke!
Roxas- He found them!
Armageddon- If you don't duel, they will suffer from a very painful and memorable death for everyone to suffer in! So, their fate rest with you Joey Wheeler.
Nightshroud- Poor fools never had a chance of facing me. They were easy as slaughtering a baby.
Joey is furious.
Joey- You, low lives have crossed the line! Not only I will face this Mai imposter, but I will defeat her and come after you two!
Joey readies himself. Everyone hears an engine run. Everyone is curious. Armageddon stares at one of the building of the wall.
Armageddon- Ah… perfect.
A motorcycle drives over the building, showing the female in purple. Joey turns around. Tristan and the other looks up as the motorcycle pass them. It lands the female drives and stops next to Joey. Joey stares at the helmet of the rider. She takes off the helmet. Joey is stun.
Joey- No way!
Mai flicks her hair and smirks at Joey.
Mai- Hey there, Joey.
Joey- What?! Mai! It's you!
Mai- Who were you expecting? Vivian Wong?
Mai gets off her motorcycle and stares at Armageddon and Dark Mai.
Mai- Hold on, Joey is not dueling alone, I'm joining on this fight.
Tristan- What?! Mai, you're crazy!
Mai- Perhaps, but this is my chance to redeem myself… plus…
Mai points at Serenity and Duke.
Mai- That freak has two of our friends and that will not slide by me. So, Joey hun, what do you say? Double team this impostor?
Joey proudly smiles and holds up his thumb.
Joey- I say, let's take her down!
Mai readies her duel disk. Roxas and Xion takes one card.
Roxas- Joey, Mai!
They both turn around.
Xion- Catch!
Roxas throws the card to Joey and Xion throws the card to Mai. They both catch it and look at the cards. They both nod and puts it in their deck. Dark Mai smirks evilly.
Dark Mai- Take all the help you need; it won't help you!
Mai- We'll see about that, it's payback time!
Joey- Let's do this!
Dark Mai- Let's, when I win, you both will end up in Hell, along with the rest of the world!
The three ready themselves.
Joey, Mai, and Dark Mai- DUEL!
Basílica de la Sagrada Família
Xehanort and Rafael comes out of a portal.
Rafael- Valon's hometown.
Xehanort- Correct, I could sense them both here. Which will make it easier for us to get them both.
Rafael- Right, I've already told them about our arrival, they should be here soon.
Xehanort- Excellent.
Rafael- It's hard to believe that one person can do so much destruction in not one but two Dimensions.
Xehanort- Armageddon is a character with limitless mysteries, I only wish that I knew who he was so we can plan accordingly to defeat him.
Rafael- So, you mean to tell me that no one knows of who he is? Not even his face?
Xehanort- I regret to say otherwise. Armageddon, he's a character that knows past but is in a present form, however, his knowledge is as if it's from the future.
Rafael- Future?
Xehanort- Armageddon, he knows of the Paragon Stones, and know who can wield them. However, the only two who can be himself and Jaden, but Jaden knows nothing about the stone, but he does. It also seems that he knows more about the future. Armageddon seems to know everyone, and how things will turn out. He knew that myself and Vanitas would come after him, he knew that Jaden would be born, he even knew that the about the Tablet of the Twelve Dimensions and the Supreme Sacred Beasts, knowledge that's not so well known by anyone, but he knows the secret of them, all of them.
Rafael- Tablet of the Twelve Dimensions? What's is that?
Xehanort- Just like Atem's Tablet, it shows a story or a prophecy of some kind. The Tablet of the Twelve Dimensions tells a story of two powerful beings of the same soul who will decide the fate of everything that exists. In legend, they say when all six Paragon Stones and the Three Supreme Sacred Beasts are at the Tablet, the Final Dogma War with take place and the two beings with face each in one final battle.
Rafael- So wait, are you saying that a Final War with take place, has this happened before? And of the same soul?! Could that mean Armageddon is a part of Jaden?
Xehanort- It would make sense if it had taken place eons ago and it's finally approaching… As for your other question… I'm afraid that I agree with what you said… It's quite possible that Armageddon is probably halved of a soul compared to Jaden… but there is something different about Armageddon that does not seem like Jaden.
Rafael- What's that?
Xehanort- I see the body of Armageddon, but his actions don't fit the body.
Rafael- I'm afraid you lost me on that one.
Xehanort- It's probably best that I did lose you, Armageddon is the biggest mystery that no one can uncover.
Alister- Rafael!
Rafael and Xehanort look forward. Alister and Valon runs towards them.
Rafael- Alister, Valon!
Valon- It's been a minute since the three of us teamed up. But uh, who's the old fart?
Rafael- I would be careful what you say. He's not what you think, he's a powerful man. Perhaps stronger than Dartz.
Alister- Is that right?
Xehanort walks to the three young men.
Xehanort- Alister and Valon, an honor to meet you both. You have my dearest thank you for coming here on such late notice.
Valon- So, mind telling us of what has happened?
Rafael- Long story short, a powerful being who is responsible for the Orichalcos being created is trying to wipe out everything in existence and we need all the help we can get to beat him.
Alister- Armageddon? Fitting name of how Domino City was wiped off the map.
Valon- And you're saying that he's responsible for creating the Orichalcos? The same dark power that Dartz used to control and influence our lives?
Xehanort- That's exactly right, Armageddon is considered the root of all evil. It's because of him that the lives of millions were ruined, how the Shadow Games were created, Zorc the Dark one be created and the Great Leviathan.
Alister- And I thought Dartz did some horrible things.
Valon- You got that right; well you can count me in. After all, we are no stranger to the forces of darkness.
Alister- Anything to be rid of the stains of the Orichalcos, especially if it involves the creator of it.
Rafael- Perfect, Xehanort, we should get back to others and wait for Jaden.
Xehanort senses something. Wind blows by him. He opens his eyes.
Rafael- Xehanort?
Valon- Hey old chum, you alright?
Alister- Guy, look.
They all look forward. Armageddon stands near the doors of the Basílica de la Sagrada Família. Xehanort makes a fist. Valon and Alister senses the evil present and power. They both shake.
Alister- I'm guessing that's him…
Valon- Armageddon?
Armageddon- The one, and only.
Xehanort- I knew you would come after everyone…
Armageddon- Yes but could do nothing about it. Why gather all of these forces? You know every army in all Twelve Dimensions cannot stop me. And the only one who can is facing Dartz now and losing.
Alister- Who's facing Dartz?!
Xehanort- My Grandson… the only one who has a chance of ending Armageddon's life. We sent my Grandson, Jaden back in time to get Dartz to help. Because Armageddon is known by Dartz.
Valon- So, is this guy from Dartz's time?
Armageddon- Not quite, though I know of Dartz… and it is true of what they say about me. I am indeed the creator of the Seal of Orichalcos. In fact, you guys never experienced the true power of it.
Alister- What do you mean?
Rafael- The Seal is stronger than we thought, even Dartz never knew about its advanced power. I've seen it, and its death sentence waiting to happen. Part of the reason why Domino City was destroyed.
Alister- You're kidding!
Armageddon- And that's is merely a fraction of a tiny piece of my power. I can do so much more!
Armageddon raises his arm. Dark clouds being to covers the whole city, lightning starts to strike everything, destroying buildings, the ground beings to shake and crack. Everyone braces for impact.
Valon- That's enough!
Valon runs at Armageddon.
Xehanort- Valon, wait!
Valon throws a punch. Armageddon's eyes flash and freeze Valon.
Valon- What?!
Armageddon- You're just as hard head at your old friend, Joey Wheeler, and just as foolish!
Valon is pushed back. Armageddon's arm highlights in darkness. He swings his arm back destroying miles of the city.
Rafael- Oh my god!
Alister- He just took out a piece of the city!
Xehanort- Armageddon! Stop this madness!
Armageddon- Oh, but I'm just getting started!
Armageddon points his arm to the sky. Multiple sparks shine in the sky. Rafael, Alister and Valon's eyes widen. Meteors come from above, destroying the whole city. Xehanort places a force field on all four of them. Armageddon shot his up. A huge amount of water comes out of the ground.
Rafael- Where did the water come from?!
Armageddon creates a huge tsunami.
Armageddon- Drown into despair!
The tsunami comes directly at the whole city and floods it all, destroying more of the city, people being washed away. Xehanort and the other three come from above water.
Valon- No! My home!
Armageddon floats in the sky, staring at them all.
Armageddon- Now do you understand my power? I can wipe everything out! I can even do this!
Armageddon takes out the Seal of Orichalcos card.
Xehanort- What are you doing?!
Armageddon- This is going to haunt you three to the core!
Armageddon throws the card and creates the Seal. All three of them watch at the center of the Seal has someone coming out of it.
Rafael- Something is coming!
Alister- Rather someone!
Dark Dartz comes out of the Seal and stares at the three young gentlemen. All three of them got terrified.
Valon- No… no way…
Alister- He would be the last person I want to see!
Rafael- Dartz!
Alister- How is he here?!
Armageddon- This is the darkness that was in Dartz's heart when he was taken over by the Orichalcos. This is the same man, and same evil you three all know and served, the same person who influenced and ruined your lives. Do you three not remember?
Rafael growls.
Rafael- How could we forget?! Our families, our friends, our childhood was taken… all because of you, Armageddon! You just used Dartz! Controlled him to attack us!
Dark Dartz- Hahaha! Attack you say? I would say more about cleansing your souls! Remember Rafael, the world is evil, so Armageddon opened my eyes with this great power! He's the one who supplied me with the power necessary to end mankind and to rebuild it!
Alister- We've already been through this! The Seal of Orichalcos is the evil force! It took control of your mind and caused you to be the puppet in the Orichalcos's grip! It was created by someone that's sicker twisted as its product that he created!
Valon- Because of him, we lost everything! Rafael and his family, Alister with his brother and mother and for myself I was framed by things that I never have done all thanks to you and that Seal!
Dark Dartz- Everything of what you three are saying might be true for what I've done, but it was for the greater good of the world and so much more. You still have a chance to redeem yourself.
Dark Dartz holds out his hand. The three boys step back.
Dark Dartz- Come join me, and with Armageddon, the creator of this awesome power, and we shall rebuild everything that is wicked and change it into something that's meant to be true and perfect!
Armageddon- I'm allowing for you three to make the right decision just this one time. After all. The three of you would be an excellent asset to my army. But if you refuse, then I'm afraid there is no room for the imperfect body of my vision and new universe. If you join me, I promise to bring back the ones you have lost.
Armageddon appears behind Rafael. Rafael got startled.
Armageddon- Rafael, your parents, and siblings.
Armageddon appears behind Alister. Alister turns around.
Armageddon- Your brother and Mother, Alister.
Armageddon appears behind Valon. Valon turns his head to Armageddon.
Armageddon- Valon, the one who sheltered you from the world.
Valon got angry and turns around with a fist. Armageddon vanishes as Valon misses. Valon turns around. Armageddon appears back next to Dartz.
Dark Dartz- So, have you three decided? Or are you still blind? If so…
Dark Dartz's left arm appears with a red and black version of the Chaos duel disk.
Dark Dartz- I will be the one who will remove you three from this world.
Rafael looks down.
Rafael- Nothing would make me happy more if I could see my family again.
Xehanort- Rafael! No!
Alister- My brother and mother as well.
Xehanort- You can't do this!
Valon stares at Armageddon and Dark Dartz.
Valon- However, we are not idiotic and gullible as you think we are!
Rafael and Alister nods and takes out their duel disk.
Dark Dartz- So, you three of chosen the wrong path so it seems?
Rafael- Not quite, we chose our own and righteous path.
Alister- The offer may seem a miracle, but you two cannot be trusted! So, we won't be taking that offer!
Armageddon sighs.
Armageddon- Very well, Dartz, you know what to do.
Dark Dartz- Of course, these three will be sent to oblivion!
Dark Dartz's duel disk is activated.
Rafael- Let's go you two, we'll face our old master together!
Alister- Right, for our sins to be truly cleansed!
Valon- We'll make this man suffer for ruining our lives!
Xehanort- Take him down you three! And take these!
All three of them turn around, Xehanort throws them each two cards. They catch them.
Xehanort- Used them
All three of them nod.
Rafael, Alister, and Valon- Yes, Master Xehanort!
They placed the cards into their decks and readied themselves.
Dark Dartz- Let's begin this, Former Master VS. Former Students!
Rafael- Mother, father, brother, and sister, guide me!
Alister- This one is for you, Mikey and you too Mom!
Valon- This is for everyone that was taken by the Orichalcos!
EGYPT
Yugi and Tea are walking the streets, asking around of the whereabouts of the Ishtar family. They both sit next to a fountain.
Tea- We've looked around for an hour and have not found them yet.
Yugi- We have to keep looking, the fate of the world might depend on it.
Atem appears and stares at a building.
Yugi- Hey, what's wrong, Atem?
Atem- I sense something in the building.
Atem looks further. Atem sees a female in a black cloak walking towards the entrance. She turns around and sees puts her sights on Atem. Atem steps back. Yugi and Tea sees the same female.
Yugi- Is it just me, or do I sense a cold vibe from her?
Tea- No… but I also feel it.
The female turns her body and walks into the building.
Atem- Let's go, she might hold some answers.
They all follow the female. From a distance, motorcycle parks, a black shoe touches the ground. A male in a black cloak gets off the motorcycle. Ten other people in black cloaks come from being the first male.
Pier Egypt
Vanitas walks the streets, looking around.
Vanitas- This is testing my patience… No luck on finding those three.
Vanitas looks up to the sky.
Vanitas- Jaden, my son, I hope you're having more luck than me. Hm?
Vanitas looks forward and sees the same female in the black cloak floating on the water. Vanitas stares at her.
Vanitas- What?
She turns around and walks further out to the water. Vanitas lowers his eyebrows and is curious.
Vanitas- Wait!
Vanitas hovers off the ground and glides after her. Two people in black cloaks watch Vanitas from building.
Museum Egypt
Yugi, Atem, and Tea followed the female to a huge room. The female stands in the middle of the room.
Yugi- What is this place?
Marik- Yugi, Tea!
Yugi, Tea, and Atem turns around.
Yugi- It's Marik!
Marik takes off his cloak and walks to them.
Marik- I thought I might see you guys here, with everything that has taken place.
Tea- Yeah so much to take about, we came here to seek your help.
Marik- I figured, now who is it you're following?
Atem- We don't know yet.
Marik is stunned.
Marik- My Pharaoh! You have returned!
Marik bows.
Atem- Yes, I'm back because of this new evil.
Yugi- Atem, look!
At four of them sees the female lifting her arm. A portal opens, she goes inside of it but not before she looks at the four followers. She turns her head as she vanishes into the portal.
Marik- A portal? Wait a minute…
Marik looks at the room.
Marik- This room used to have Atem's Stone tablet and the Tablet of the Twelve Dimensions.
Atem- Did you say the Table of the Twelve Dimensions?!
Marik- Yes, when your tablet was found, another tablet was found with it. It was considered the Tablet of the Twelve Dimensions.
Yugi- But why did she lead us here?
Atem- Only one way to find out, Marik, will you aid us?
Marik- Of course Your Excellency, not just me, but also them.
Marik points behind him with his thumb. The other bikers in the cloaks approach and takes off their cloaks. They all bow to Atem.
Marik- My Pharaoh, whatever army I have, we will aid you in this new fight. My new organization, the Rare Seekers.
Yugi- Wow! That's awesome!
Tea- This will help us a lot.
Atem- Indeed, thank you, Marik. Now let's go.
The Rare Seekers stands up and follows Atem and the others as they enter the portal.
Pier Egypt
Vanitas stops at the portal where the female had last been by his eyes. He looks at the portal.
Vanitas- I sense a familiar presence… Who is this person?
Vanitas hears a boat and turns around. He sees the two people in cloaks coming towards him. Vanitas's black sword appears in his hand.
Vanitas- Trying to delay my mission, are we?! Well, I won't let anyone stop me!
The boat stops. The passenger stands up and takes off her hood. It is Ishizu she looks at Vanitas. He stops and lowers his sword.
Ishizu- We mean no harm, stranger, we only here to seek answers of this portal.
The driver stands up, he takes off his hood and shows at Odion. Vanitas's sword vanishes and calms his nerves.
Odion- Peace be with you, stranger. We are only friends.
Vanitas- You two are Ishizu and Odion Ishtar, are you not?
They both are stunned about Vanitas's words.
Odion- And how do you know our names, stranger?
Ishizu- Please, what's your name, stranger? I sense that you're not from here, or rather from this world.
Vanitas- You are wise and have a sharp eye. You are correct, I am not from here, I'm from another dimension, my name is Vanitas Yuki, I am a friend of Yugi Muto and the Great Pharaoh Atem.
Ishizu- You know the great Pharaoh Atem?
Vanitas- Yes, I was sent here by my father, Xehanort Yuki to seeker you two and your brother Marik.
Odion- Hm… what you speak of, marks a good timing of what has happened.
Vanitas- So, you are aware of the destruction of Domino City?
Ishizu- Yes, and we had a strong feeling that we would be contacted by Yugi but didn't expect to run into you.
Vanitas- Yugi is here with Tea and Atem seeking you guys as well.
Ishizu- That would explain my phone call from Tea… we've had to hide from everyone lately. Most recently we've been targets but these strange people and monsters.
Vanitas- I figured that, so, you three are already apart of this war. We seek your help, Yugi said that you three could help us, for you three know of the Shadow Games.
Odion- Of course, we are no stranger to the Shadow Games, we were a part of it. We are here to aid you, Vanitas.
Vanitas- Good, thank you.
Ishizu- Now the question still remains, what's with this portal? I can sense a powerful force inside.
Vanitas turns to the portal.
Vanitas- I got the same sense, I followed some female, she had opened this portal.
Odion- Ishizu, this female, perhaps this the same female that has been following us for the past week.
Ishizu- Only one way to find out.
All three of them stare at the portal. Vanitas levitates the two and enters the portal.
Dimension Transcendent
Yugi, Tea, Atem, Marik, and the Rare Seekers come out of the portal. What they see a huge kingdom, a castle that's gold, much like Atlantis and Atem's kingdom but instead of it be surrounded by water or sand it's surrounded by the clouds and blue sky.
Yugi- Where are we?
Tea- I don't know, but it appears to be a kingdom, much bigger than Egypt or Atlantis.
Atem looks around the area and notices that they are floating.
Atem- This place is floating, and this kingdom is much like Atlantis and my kingdom put together… I think we are in a different dimension, look up.
They all look up and sees two moons, one gold, and one black.
Marik- Two moons?
Rare Seeker- Master Marik, look!
Everyone looks forward. The female walks to the front doors of the castle. She turns around and sees them.
Atem- She clearly wants us to follow her.
Yugi- But the question is, why?
Marik- Only one way to find out, let's follow her.
They pressed out to follow the female.
Palace
They have followed her to the palace of the kingdom, the palace stands tall on 5000 feet stone pole and supported with seven connecting towers. The female stops at the entrance to the palace. Yugi and the others stop at the stairs leading to the entrance.
Yugi- Stop!
The female turns around and stares at the small group.
Atem- We want some answers, why did you lead us here?!
The female remains silent. She looks up and sees a portal opening. The same female comes out of the portal and lands next to the other female.
Tea- Twins?!
Vanitas, Ishizuand Odion comes out of the portal.
Atem- It's Vanitas, and he brought Ishizu and Odion.
They land next to Yugi. Vanitas sees both of the same female.
Vanitas- So, she lore everyone here.
Marik- So it seems, sister, that female…
Ishizu- Yes, it's the same one that's been following us, and I bet she's the one that sent those monsters to attack us.
Yugi- So, she is dangerous! She might be working for Armageddon!
The female stares at Vanitas, both females become whole, she snaps her fingers. The ground starts to shake.
Vanitas- What has she done?!
Odion looks behind him, he gasped.
Odion- Look!
They turn around Diabound comes out of the ground and roars at them all.
Atem- That's Diabound! Why is he here?!
Yami Bakura- Because of me!
Everyone is stunned to hear Yami Bakura's voice. Yami Bakura stands next to Diabound.
Marik- Impossible! He should be alive!
Atem- I should have known that you'd be resurrected!
Yami Bakura- That's Pharaoh! Thanks to Armageddon, I know longer need Zorc the Dark One to have my very own being! But that doesn't mean that I have less strength, no, I have more power than I ever had! I can kill all of you with ease! Diabound, strike them all down!
Diabound's hands charge and unleash a huge dark ball. Atem's forehead shines with the eye.
Atem- Obelisk, defend us from this past foe of evil! FIST OF FURY!
Obelisk appears and drives his fist the attack and reflects it back to Diabound. Zorc appears and appears the hit.
Atem- No! It's Zorc!
Yugi- This is bad!
Zorc's eyes flash, waves of darkness come from his eyes and goes towards the group. Yugi covers Tea and goes to the ground. The wave hits everyone and is pushed into the stairs, the Rare Seekers were turned to dust.
Marik- No! My Rare Seekers!
Zorc- Reduce to ash, just as you all will be!
Zorc's chest grows the dragon head and fires a huge fireball to the group. Atem and Vanitas stands in front of everyone.
Atem and Vanitas- Slifer and Uria defend us from Zorc's assault!
Both dragons come out of two portals and fire their attack at Zorc's, thus creating a huge explosion. Zorc squints.
Atem- Throw whatever you please, we'll fight back!
Zorc and Yami Bakura smirks. Everyone hears a loud phoenix soaring. Everyone looks up and sees the Winged Dragon of Ra in its phoenix raging at Atem and Vanitas.
Yugi- NO WAY!
Marik- It's the Winged Dragon of RA!
The dragon hits both red dragons they both burn, and roar with pain. Both Vanitas and Atem falls to a knee.
Atem- But how? How or why did Ra attack us?!
Everyone hears a familiar laugh. Yugi and Atem's eyes widen, Yugi sits up and looks forward. Marik shakes along with his brother and sister.
Marik- I know that laugh…
Ra flies around and lands, it bursts into flames. A person with a purple cape and grey spike hair comes through the fire. He holds the Millennium Rod and shows the Millennium symbol on his forehead.
Marik- No… this can't be!
Yami Bakura- And yet, it is, Marik!
Yami Marik blows the flames away and smiles evilly at the group.
Marik- It's my dark halve!
Odion- No… not him!
Yugi- No… Armageddon brought him back!
Yami Marik- That's right, Yugi! Armageddon revived me so I could get my revenge on you fool! And he gave me a similar power to Ra, now I can use my great beast to end all of your pitiful lives!
Zorc and Yami Bakura stands next to Yami Marik.
Atem- This is infuriating!
Tea- All of our past enemies are making a comeback!
Ishizu- I never knew that this Armageddon had the magic to bring evil back from the dead!
Vanitas- Armageddon is the seed of evil, because of him, Marik became evil, he created Zorc and so much more! Armageddon is an enemy that you've never seen!
Atem stands in front of everyone.
Atem- In the name of the Egyptian gods and the Pharaoh's from before, I shall rid all three of you from existence! I defeat you all before and I'll do it again!
Atem's ancient duel disk appears on his arm.
Zorc- You think you can defeat all three of us?!
Atem grins, Yugi stands up.
Tea- Yugi!
Yugi- No, not by himself, he has me to fight with me! We'll both take all three of you!
Yami Marik- Excellent! Now we can kill you both at the same time.
Marik grins and rises.
Odion- Master?
Ishizu- Marik?
Marik puts on a gold version of Battle City's duel disk.
Marik- No… I will face you as well!
Yugi and Atem witness Marik standing near them.
Yami Marik- Ah yes! My weaker side wishes to be engulfed by the darkness!
Yami Marik looks at the female.
Yami Marik- We can take them out, you go!
Vanitas turns around, the female nods and walks into the palace.
Vanitas- No!
Atem- Vanitas, we can handle these three, you go after the female.
Vanitas- Are you sure?
Marik- Yes, we each have our own demon to vanquish, and I have a strong feeling the female might hold answers.
Vanitas nods. He pulls out a card and throws it to Marik. Marik catches it and looks at it.
Vanitas- I'm sure you know what to do with that.
Marik- I do, now go after her!
Vanitas nods and runs after her. Marik puts the card in his deck.
Yugi- Marik, you sure?
Marik- Yes, I have a demon to vanquish, and my father's death to avenge!
Yami Marik smirks and laughs. Yami Marik twirls his rod, it turns into a Millennium duel disk, Yami Bakura's Diabound turns into a black servant duel disk and Zorc forms a black demonic dragon duel disk.
Marik- Now let's send these three back to Hell!
Yugi nods, the duel disk from Dark Dimensions appears on Yugi's hand.
Tea- Yugi…
Yugi turns to Tea.
Tea- You better not lose, you hear me?
Yugi- You got it, babe.
Yugi turns his head to the three opponents.
Yugi- Okay, it's time to duel!
Atem faces Zorc, Yugi face Yami Bakura and Marik faces Yami Marik.
Palace
Vanitas walks down a long hallway. He moves his eyes seeing his surroundings.
Vanitas- Hm… this place…
He stops next to a giant door. He looks at the door.
Vanitas- How does this person know about this place?
The doors open. He lowers his eyes.
Vanitas- I've been expected…
Vanitas walks into the room which a huge bedroom. He walks as he sees the female standing near a window and stares out the window.
Vanitas- Hm…
Vanitas walks closer to her.
Vanitas- Why did you bring me here?
The female turns her head to Vanitas, Vanitas noticed that she's holding a picture in her hand.
Vanitas- Somehow you know…
Vanitas is seven feet away from her and stops.
Vanitas- This palace is my home… and this place is my Kingdom when I once ruled.
The female remains silent and turns her head back to the window and sets the picture down. Vanitas walks up to her and puts his hand on her hood.
Vanitas- Enough of the silent act! Who are you—
The female smacks Vanitas's arm and pushes him with his right hand. He is pushed with great force; he hits the wall which is now crack.
Vanitas- GAH! How?! Huh?!
The female has dark aura around her. She lowers her arm. Vanitas notices a tear comes down from her hood.
Vanitas- What? Why is she… hm?
Vanitas notices a ring on her ring finger, Vanitas's eyes widen, he moves his eyes to the picture she was holding. He is speechless and stands up.
Vanitas- It… it can't be…
A portal comes from behind her she steps back.
Vanitas- No! Wait!
She vanishes into the portal as he approaches the portal an armored hand force pushes him back. Vanitas slides to the ground and gets up. The one in black armor comes out of the portal. Vanitas grins and takes out his black sword. His eyes turn gold just like the Supreme King.
Vanitas- GET OUT OF MY WAY!
Vanitas dashes at the one in black armor. The one in black armor summons a human demonic sword and blocks Vanitas's attack. Vanitas's eyes widen again.
Vanitas- This… this sword! It can't be!
Vanitas gets angry and is by his opponent. Vanitas stops in the air. His opponent charges at Vanitas and pushes him out of the palace and into the top point of the palace. Vanitas vanishes and comes from above and comes straight down with his sword and cuts the helmet in half. They both land to the ground. Vanitas turns around and witnesses his opponent's face.
Vanitas- No… it… it can't be… not you too!
His opponent turns to Vanitas, Vanitas stares at the red and blue eye of his opponent.
Vanitas- Sparda! But how?!
(I know it's been a while, but in this story, Sparda is Vanitas's brother who was killed by Xehanort)
Sparda remains silent.
Vanitas- Sparda! It's me, Vanitas! Your brother!
Armageddon- It is useless to get through to him.
Vanitas looks above, Armageddon floats staring at the two brothers.
Vanitas- Armageddon! How dare you?!
Armageddon- You should have known this! I have the Stone of Life at my disposal!
Vanitas stares at Armageddon.
Vanitas- You… you even…
Armageddon- Oh? You know now? That's right, I did.
A portal opens, the female slowly comes out of it. Vanitas stares at her. Vanitas shakes and falls to his knees.
Vanitas- It… it can't be…
Armageddon stands behind the female and puts his hand on her hood.
Armageddon- But it is… Painful, isn't it…?
Armageddon pulls her hood, revealing the female's face, her brown hair, and eyes. Vanitas's eyes widen.
Vanitas- No… Velina…
Armageddon- That's Velina Yuki, your beloved wife and the Mother of your Son, Jaden Yuki, the same woman that was struck down but your father.
Vanitas stares at Sparda and Velina.
Vanitas- How dare you… making my past come back to haunt me! I will never forget that day, the day I lost everything! BY YOU, ARMAGEDDON!
Flashback
Velina gave birth to Jaden, both Vanitas and Velina are smiling, Velina holds Jaden close. Vanitas smiles.
Past Vanitas- That's my son… Welcome to the world, Jaden Yuki.
Present Vanitas V.O- That night, my son was born, and it was that night that I found out that Sparda was struck down… Then my wife!
Vanitas sees Velina died by Armageddon. Vanitas got furious and attacks Armageddon. Xehanort appears and protects Armageddon.
Present Vanitas V.O- You used my father, Xehanort as a shield, you used him to kill his own son, you struck my wife down! And you controlled me through Xehanort!
Vanitas places Velina in a coffin and buried her along with Sparda. Vanitas cries and falls to his knees.
Past Vanitas- Sparda… my fallen brother… Velina… my love, I'm sorry… I never meant for this to happen! Please come back! I still need you!
Vanitas hears baby Jaden crying as it rains. Vanitas stands and walks to a tree. He picks up Jaden from the baby basket.
Past Vanitas- It's okay, my boy… He won't get you I promise.
Flashback End.
Vanitas sheds tears and shows his teeth with anger. He stares at Armageddon.
Vanitas- I WILL MAKE YOU PAY FOR TAKING EVERYTHING FROM ME!
Vanitas flies at Armageddon. Sparda and Velina appears in front of Vanitas and pushes him back. Vanitas falls back to the ground.
Vanitas- Sparda! Velina! Please listen to me!
Armageddon- Nice try, Vanitas. But I'm afraid that your brother and wife will not be listening to you, they are merely shells of what they once were! They are in my control! They fight for me, not you!
Vanitas growls at Armageddon.
Vanitas- Just when I think you couldn't get any eviler; you go sink into a deeper level of evil!
Armageddon- You should be thanking me!
Vanitas- Thanking you?! BY TURN MY OWN FAMILY AGAINST ME?!
Armageddon- I'm giving you one more look of your fallen brother and wife before they end your pitiful life!
Vanitas- YOU CAN'T!
Sparda and Velina's left arms show a duel disk.
Armageddon- But I can… and I just did! Sparda and Velina Yuki, I'll leave you three to catch up.
Vanitas shouts and throws his sword at Armageddon. Velina appears in front of Armageddon and takes the hit instead. Vanitas's widens.
Vanitas- NO!
The sword is in her chest. She stares at Vanitas.
Vanitas- What have I done?!
Velina takes the sword out.
Velina- I will not allow you to hurt my master!
Vanitas- VELINA! HE'S NOT YOUR MASTER, HE'S YOUR ENEMY! THE ONE WHO TRIED TO KILL YOUR SON, JADEN YUKI!
Velina remains silent and throws Vanitas's sword back to him it stabs to the ground near Vanitas's foot.
Velina- the only enemy I have, is you, Vanitas!
Sparda- We exist to only erase you and your whole family's meaningless existence!
Vanitas- Sparda, please! It's me, Vanitas! Your brother!
Sparda's eyes flash. All three of them were teleported.
Center of all Dimensions- Paragon
The three appears on a huge ground temple.
Vanitas- What?! Where did you take, Sparda?!
Armageddon- This is the center of all Dimensions, Paragon.
Vanitas- Paragon?!
Armageddon- Yes, I've decided on your duel to be at the place where everything will end!
Vanitas- I've heard of this place once! They say all Emperors of the Twelve Dimensions made the Paragon Stones, along with the Tablet of the Twelve Dimensions!
Armageddon- You have a good memory, that's right. Once I get all Six stones, all I need to do is place the Stones in the Tablet, along with the Three Supreme Scared Beasts and I can destroy everything! Everything will be reduced to nothing! Everyone and everything will no longer be a memory!
Vanitas- That isn't going to happen, Armageddon!
Armageddon- Brave and honorable words coming from such a weak warrior, a weak warrior that failed to save his wife, kid, and brother!
Vanitas- Grrr!
Armageddon- Now, I must be off, Sparda, Velina, take him out!
Sparda and Velina- Yes, master!
Vanitas- Wait!
Armageddon vanishes, he stares at Sparda and Velina.
Sparda- In order for you to leave, you must defeat us… a task that's nearly impossible, especially when we once meant so much to you!
Vanitas- Sparda… please don't do this!
Velina- Vanitas… it's too late… you have no choice… do this for him!
Vanitas's eyes widen. He shakes and puts both hands into a fist. Vanitas's armor comes onto him and a duel disk comes on his arm.
Vanitas- I can't…. GAH! I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE YOU TWO AGAIN! WE GOT TO STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!
