'This deck is awesome' thought

"this deck is awesome" speech

Chapter 1- The pharaoh is summoned.

On Earth

Yugi Muto stared at his duel disk. He thought about all the combinations he could do with his deck and if he could defeat the Pharaoh.

"Go yugi!" shouted Tea Gardner who stood next to Seto Kaiba and Mokuba.

"You too,Pharaoh!" Tea added.

This was the moment Atem has been waiting for. He could finally go onto the afterlife after 5,000 years. A part of him was saddened to leave his companion, Yugi Muto, the boy whose body he currently resides in. He fondly remembers all the times he spent with Yugi, and his companions, Tea, Joey, Tristan, and his adversary, Seto Kaiba. He looked back on Battle City, the Seal of Orichalcos incident, the Grand Championship,and now looks towards his current battle with Yugi.

"Ahhhhhh!"

A white light flashed and blinded everyone. When they received their eyesight back, they noticed Atem was missing.

"Did he go into the afterlife already?" Tea asked Marik.

"No, something must have happened" Marik responded with a dumbfounded look on his face.

Meanwhile on Halkeginia

"Miss Valliere! May I ask you why you have not summoned yet? A red haired woman with tan skin and big breasts mocked the pink haired girl, wondering why she was stalling. "I myself would love to see what kind of familiar you would summon to make my salamander look so inferior that is wouldn't hold a candle to your own." Her tone highlighted the arrogance she had, showing that she won't bow her head to someone she felt was lower than her.

If Louise was smart, she would simply let Kirche's taunt go. However, Louise wasn't smart, she was headstrong and stubborn. She wouldn't give in so easily to anyone. Especially a Zerbst like Kirche. She signaled to that she was ready to start, and nodded in approval.

"I beg of you… My slave who lives somewhere in the universe! Oh sacred, beautiful and strong familiar spirit! I desire and here I plead from my heart! Answer to my guidance!" chanted Louise while she pleaded in her head that the spell would not result in an explosion 'Please let it be a dragon, a griffin, a cat, or a dog don't care just prove I am not a Zero!'

A great white light flooded from the middle of the circle before blinding everyone that was present. When the light cleared, in place of the circle was a boy who looked to be in his teenage years. Though his hair was definitely out of the ordinary, being that the color was red,yellow and black. His eyes were also different, having a emerald color. He wore a blue coat, and black shirt that matched his blue pants. He had a strange white device on his left arm. He only scratched his head, being in a foreign place.

"Wow, this makes all the things that you said worth it Zero! You've really done it this time! Summoning a commoner must be a sign! It must mean that you were meant to have no element at all!" jeered Montmorency. Louise couldn't just accept that this was her familiar. She turned to her teacher asking for a request.

"Mr Colbert, please allow me to do the ritual again! It must have been a mistake! I have never heard of a commoner as a familiar before!" Louise argued. The teacher was also dumbfounded but he had to follow the rules which were strictly enforced.

"I'm sorry, Miss Valliere, but I can't do that. This is a sacred ritual, and like it or not, this familiar is your familiar for life" replied in a stern voice.

"Louise, continue the ritual" jeered Kirche.

"Where am I and who are you?" the boy asked.

"I am Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, and you are in the Tristain Magic Academy." Louise answered.

"What is your name?"

"I am Atem, but you can call me Pharaoh."

"What a strange name, Atem."

"Miss Valliere, continue with the ritual or you will really get expelled!" Mr. Colbert chimed in.

"Go for it" jeered Kirche.

Louise got closer to the boy, and kissed him on the lips. Atem was surpised and he enjoyed the kiss. He then felt searing pain in throughout his entire body, and screamed out in pain.

"It should be over soon" Louise said with a nonchalant voice.

Atem looked at his left hand to notice runes inscribed in it. After he looked at it, he collapsed and became unconscious. Atem woke up a few hours later. He was in sleeping on hay in Louise's room.

"Oh you are finally should feel honored that a commoner like you can be the familiar of someone like me"

Louise went to the closet and took out her nightgown. She then proceeded to take off he clothes and put on her nightgown.

"Wash these" she said as she threw Atem he old clothes.

"What?"

"That is insane, a Pharaoh shouldn't have to do that!" Atem said as he threw the clothes to the ground.

"Then, no food for you!" Louise triumphantly declared.

'Hmm, she doesn't look like someone with great magical powers, maybe I could just mind crush her'

Atem decided against, and ran out the door. Louise ran after him, and asked for Guiche's help, who was flirting with another girl at that moment.

'I don't know who these people are but, I know I need to get back to Egypt to finish the duel so I can go into the afterlife.'

Atem managed to make it into the courtyard, but he was soon in the air.

"My my, a familiar running after from her master? Who has ever heard of that?" Guiche commented, twirling his rose around.

"Shut up and bring him back!" Louise demanded.

"Fine"

With that, Guiche dropped him, 6 feet above the ground. Atem become unconscious when he hit the ground. Louise was annoyed she had to carry her familiar up the stairs back to her room.

'Geez, I have a commoner as a familiar, could it get much worse?'
