[IC] Yugioh: The King's Shadow

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi took the card and then took Yami's hand, nodding. "Be careful you two...I'll stay with Duke just in case" Serena nodded and then said "I'll leave some back up with you as well..." She pulled out a card and Hound of the Guardian appeared, standing by Yugi and sitting down. "Let's go, Yami, no time to waste." She ran out of the room with the King of Games, noticing the man from before was gone.

When they got to the roof Serena pulled out a small pair of binoculars and looked thru them at the street below. "Nothing is coming out of it yet...but I sense something there. Something old..." She handed the pair to Yami so you could look thru. Adam said into the ear piece "Boss, there's a storm appearing near you, be careful"

Serena looked at Yami and said "Just wondering...why are you willing to help me? I mean, what is your part in all of this?"

[Jazz]

Yami smiled before going off to the roof, confident that Yugi would be fine with the help both Yami and Serena gave him to defend Devin. Once upon the roof, Yami looked to the dark, black and purple clouds as Serena looked through the Binoculars. He nodded though she wouldn't notice. He sensed it was old as well, and powerful. Yami though took the Binoculars and scanned the streets and the sky. He heard her question before taking them from his eyes and handed the Binoculars back to her. "I am willing to help because they threatened my friends. Hurt them even. I don't take that kindly. Now they are threatening this city and soon to be the world." Yami paused as he subconsciously set a hand on his Millennium Puzzle. "I have been through these dangers and know what lies beyond. They were hard and not to be handled alone. My friends even know how handle darkness like this and respond to it. My part is to defend those who aren't able to defend themselves against this Dark."

[MegaraFoxfire]

She looked at him and said "You sound like someone I...well, someone I kinda know. Its an odd story" She jumped onto the railing and looked around. Then she saw something moving in the clouds and stood up, looking closely. "Yami...something is coming...out" She pointed as a huge something started to come thru the clouds and shadows. Then a shape appeared and what came out sent chills down both of their spines.


Khnum

Serena hit her ear piece and said "Adam...please tell me that's not what I think it is..." Adam was typing in a rush and after a few minutes said "Boss...isn't in the Duel monsters data base...which means..." Serena looked at Yami and said "Its one of the Lost Gods. The Brotherhood opened a Gate to the Shadow Realm and let in one of the Lost Gods...you have got to be kidding me"

[Jazz]

Yami saw what came from the clouds, indeed feeling the chill that ran down his spine. His eyes widened in shock. "The Lost God Khnum? This can't be. It seems they no business to bring a Lost god to this world." Yami felt an uneasiness within his bones. He remembered being told about these Lost Gods, in his past life being recited to him many times. Yami activated his Duel Disk. "Seems we will need to make a stand here. I have the cards that could even our odds. I will need some help." The Former Pharaoh looked to Serena with confidence that he had just renewed and burning more than before. He looked to the Lost God with no sign of fear. He pulled a few cards from his deck. "I will summon Skilled Dark Magician and put 2 face down cards." He declared after he drew. He knew he couldn't summon the cards he needed unless he did it this way. "Skilled Dark Magician. Let Yugi know we will need his help from the room." The Magician nodded before he floated down phased through the wall. He looked to Yugi. "The Pharaoh requests your help from here." The magician not knowing if Yugi has seen what Yami and Serena have seen.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena pulled her deck from her pocket and pulled her sleeve back, showing a very different looking duel disk. It was gold and looked a lot like the ones from the Pharoh past life, but a modern version. "We will have to be careful. This God is known for creation, and we are still not sure what it wants or even wants to be here" she slipped two cards face down and said "I call upon The Warrior or Isis!" A cat like warrior appeared and jumped up onto the railing. "Let's hope we can figure out a way to either send it back or seal..." She paused, an idea hitting her. "Of course...who better to make a modern way of sealing then using game companies...that's why they went after Kabia and Duke..."

Yugi nodded, seeing thru the window what was coming. "What is that out there?"

[Jazz]

Yami looked to Serena, noticing her duel disk and almost how familiar it looked. Though watched her summon a creature and talking about a way to send it back or seal it. Though looked to her with a slightly puzzled look. "They want to seal the Lost God in a card or some sort? Is that what you might be talking about?" He asked.

"Legend has it that there were Lost Gods that were left to the shadows long ago, never able to be tamed to be sealed within the Tablets. It was said to be Myth. But the King seems to have found out that this Myth is very real. How it has come to this world is through a Shadow Gate." The Skilled Magician said as he looked to the window. "How you help the Pharaoh is up to you, however I am sure you know how." With a smile of confidence, the Skilled Magician stayed though until called back. "Serena has summoned the Warrior of Isis, a cat like warrior. She has two face down cards as does the Pharaoh." Reciting to Yugi what the two have done thus far.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena nodded and said "They want to try, but it won't work. In the old days it took great power to seal monsters into the tablets. Whatever these guys are using to take souls to maybe open a hole to the shadow realm, it won't even begin to be enough to lock these creatures away...people are going to get hurt. Yami, we have to end this before anyone gets..." Suddenly the Lost God cried out and a huge wind picked up and hit the building, sending everyone flying.

Yugi nodded and held the two cards in his hand. "Ra can't be summoned yet...its too close to the city..." Suddenly the building was hit and glass went flying everywhere. Yugi ducked and fell back, almost hitting the floor. But arms caught him and a weak voice said "Why is it every time you show up...something is exploding" Yugi looked up to see Duke holding him, Duke wearing his sideways smile.

[Jazz]

Yami knew the risks of the creatures being sealed within the tablets, how difficult it was and how much power it took. Looking to the Lost God, he noticed a small to sudden huge gust of wind of which he was being flown backwards. He was caught by the Skilled Dark Magician who took the impact on being sent into a fence. The Spellcaster tried to shield him from further harm, unknowing to both Yami and the Magician as to where Serena was.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena slipped but Warrior of Isis was there and caught her, Serena nodded her thanks. She jumped up and looked at the monster below and muttered "We need big fire power for that...but the god cards will be too much damage. We need a plan..." Then she looked at her pendent that was still glowing and then muttered "A duel isn't an answer...they don't plan by the rules...they war..." She looked at Yami and said "Yami...how well do you plan the game in the shadow realm?"

[Jazz]

The Skilled Magician moved himself so Yami could get up who nodded his thanks to the magician who then nodded back. Looking at his hand, he then looked to the god that was within the city as he heard Serena's question. "Fairly well unless something changes. Even then I can pull through with faith within my cards. Are you thinking we should take this to the Shadow realm? He asked with curiosity but slight surprise. But he wasn't afraid.

Duke looked toward the shattered window. "So...What's going on out there?" Asking with weak voice, trying to look for himself but with some difficulty.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi looked up and smiled at him. "Duke, its great to see you up. Its the same stuff we are normally dealing with. You were you attacked and now something is coming from it. I stayed here to protect you from the fight that's happening out there" He stood up and pulled Duke's arm around his shoulders. "What do you remember from today? Do you remember the duel?"

Serena nodded and said "I'm worried we fight here, people will get hurt. But if we can pull the shadow realm around this area, we might be able to protect more people. but I'm not sure how to do that or if it can be done..."

[Jazz]

Duke was ever still surprised of Yugi's optimistic attitude despite the situation. But listened to what was going on and tried to remember as to what happened. "Well. I was closing up for the day and about grab something to eat out when I was cornered by some hooded men who wanted to know who were looking for the King of Shadows. I told them I have no idea what they were talking about and was forced to duel. However in the middle of it I was beaten up."

Yami nodded thoughtfully but as he thought, thought he looked troubled. "I do not think that is possible. We may have to take the fight to them." Yami suggested as he drew his card from his deck. "What you wish to do I will follow. But it seems that taking the duel to them is the only way."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi looked at him and said "Beaten up? By what? The duelist or the monsters?" Yugi looked outside again and said "Why did this monster come? Did they bring it...or did it come"

She nodded and said "We take this fight to the god...and we move fast. Before people get hurt" She jumped to the ledge and said "Shall we meet our new friend down there?" She suddenly jumped off the railing, the Warrior of Isis following suit. She landed in a tree then jumped from there, facing the god before them. She suddenly started to get a headache, making her blink hard.

[Jazz]

"The Duelists. They snuck up behind. I mean, I was winning. They didn't like it." Duke explained. Duke tried to sit up and looked out the window that had no glass. "No idea. But its nothing ive seen before. Pegasus might though."

Yami nodded as he place a card down on his duel disk. "Mythical Beast Cerberus! I summon you!" So the beast came forth, Yami getting on its back as the Skilled Dark Magician came back to Yugi. "It appears that the Pharaoh and Serena are taking the fight to the god to try and prevent any more casualties." He told him, though staying as Cerberus followed Serena till she had stopped of which Yami got off and saw Serena looking off. "Are you alright?" He asked with concern.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi looked out and said "I don't think anyone has seen that creature before...wait. Khnum was a god of creation...Grandpa told me gods only do their jobs...he creates things...he might be...oh my gosh..." He looked at Duke and said "It came here...but not to attack us...he came here to defend one of the people that creates...Duke, he came because you were in trouble at a point where the Shadow Realms veil was thin"

Serena nodded and said "It happens when I get close to a shadow creature or shadow realm energy...a part of me starts acting up...I don't know why" She looked at the God and said "So...any idea what to hit this guy with first?"

[Jazz]

Duke eyes widen to Yugi's realization and explanation. "That magician said that they went to deal with it. Maybe they dont know! Is there a way you can get ahold of him?" Duke asked. Not wanting Yami to possibly make a mistake.

Yami knew that sort of thing when he Yugi was his vessel basically. When he was near a shadow creature or felt someone who had energy from the Shadow realm, he would take over, being that part of Yugi who wanted to act. To protect Yugi. Looking to the Lost god, the Pharaoh seemed to have him. "I wouldn't know. The only thing I can think that can stand up to a god, is a god. For that I need Slifer."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi shook his head then said "We have to get down there now. We have to warn them before they attack it." Yugi pulled Duke's arm around his shoulders and heading for the lifts, hitting the down button a couple of times. "Come on...Magican!" When he appeared he said "You have to warn Yami no to attack the God. We know why its here"

She nodded then pulled her jacket off and tossed it to the side. "Then you wake him up and I'll stall as long as I can...Warrior of Isis!" The warrior growled then ran forward, and jumped up to attack the God, but before the warrior could attack the God growled and slashed the warrior in half, the warrior vanishing in a flash. Serena gasped and fell to her knees, breathing hard. "dang it...it...hurts..."

[Jazz]

Duke nodded, trying to get up till he was helped by Yugi who he thanked as they went to the lifts. The Skilled Dark Magician looked to Yugi who need him to tell Yami what Yugi knew and nodded. "I will tell him what you have learned." With a bow of his head went off to warn the former Pharaoh of Yugi's knowledge.

Yami nodded as had drawn another card from his deck, looked at it and then put it upon duel disk. " I summon Mei-Kou, Master of Barriers and Hiita the Fire Charmer! How I have at least three monsters I sacrifice, Mei-Kou, Hiita, and Cerberus to Summon Slifer, The Sky Dragon!" The Ginormous red, twin mouth, long bodied dragon God came from the skies darkened skies and came down and landed next to its chosen one, Wrapping itself around Yami and Serena as if to protect them. It roared at the Lost God as a warning. The Millennium Puzzle glowed, feeling his power tune with the God. "My King, Wait!" Yami turned back to hear a voice. The magician came forth and bowed to him. "Please do not attack this sacred god. Young Yugi has knowledge of this god to be the God of creation and is hear to protect and aid Duke from the foes that harmed him and came through the veil where the Shadow Realm was thin." He explained as Yami listened and processed this information. He nodded and bowed, only for the Dragon god to soften and lower its head. "Please forgive me and my friend! I did not realize your intentions!" Yami said, feeling he had wronged and wanted to make it right.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Khnum growled then sat down looking at the group. Then Serena gasped and held her head, a voice booming into it. *I came here to protect one of those I bless...another god attacked him so I came to fight his fight...now I will ask once...where is he...* Serena gasped again then said weakly "He wants to know...where Duke is...and says a God attack Duke...its why he came..." She fought to get up, looking at the Khnum.

Yugi and Duke waited in the lift, Yugi thinking. He suddenly said "Why did the man leave? He wanted to see you...why leave after we just give up"

[Jazz]

Yami looked up to the God that sat down and looked to them, then hearing Serena grasp. Yami looked concerned for her when she spoke, seeming to recite when Khnum said. Yami looked back to the god and stook. "Duke Devlin is within the hospital we just came from when you arrived! I have asked my partner, Yugi Moto to Stay with him! I have recent news they are coming to meet us here!" He then looked to Silena before looking to the god. "If you wish to speak to me, please do not use Serena. She is still recovering from injuries she received recently." He asked Khnum. He did not want to see her suffer from anything else.

Duke looked to Yugi with a confused look. "Did you see what he looked like?" He asked. Though not knowing that someone tried to visit him.
