Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Seth was just as surprised as Atem when they arrived suddenly on the other side of the palace gates. But when it occurred to then what just happened Atem tried to get to the gates when he heard an explosion. "Zhara!" He shouts as Priest Seth holds him back. "Pharaoh, you must stay here."

Atem stops his struggling before looking to Priest Seth. "Summon all the High Priests then. Assist Zhara with the threat beyond our walls! If the threat is as serious as we believe I will summon one of our Spirit Gods to defend the kingdom."

Priest Mahad was leaning against the wall when he sensed the monsters as well. "Indeed my Apprentice. May the Pharaoh not have to unleash the Spirit Gods." He gets up on the wall to assess the situation.

Yami nods. "I'm guessing that they had tried with just men before resorting to Spirit monsters."

Joey watched Yugi with a disapproving looks. "He healed Mokuba and overdid it. Cora helped him gain some energy back but enough to gain some color back. Cora could help him with the headache." Joey suggests.

"Yet I lost temper. Granted Set's scout misunderstood. Either way, Set won't go after any of you. I do need to look into Mako's whereabouts." He begins typing, moving the research of the gods over to anything Mako could have used to give his last location and where he has been to get an idea where he could possibly be.

Seth gripped his millennium item as he was being kicked and held at blade point. Atem stood his ground till a shadow wrapped around him and pulled to safely and on his feet. Seth carefully got to his feet and hurried his way to his Pharaoh and Zhara. "I'll be alright. How is our Pharaoh?" He asks, standing with her. He held his item close while holding his side. "Seems these men need to be taught a lesson."

The Former Pharaoh watched in awe of Zhara and how she fought, handling her weapon and shadows. "Indeed....a sight to behold."

"Oh...um...yeah. I felt my deck on the coffee table." She seemed nervous about her deck. She had never shown another her deck, it was,,,odd,,,new? Definitely new. She got up and headed over toward the coffee table where her deck was.

Seto relaxed a little before looking to Adam and shrugs. "Don't worry about it." He heads to the laptop and sits down on the chair he had before. "It happens."

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Yami nods, happy but sad to see it.

While the conversation took place, Atem was caught off guard by the sudden ambush, their scouts having told them that the way was clear. Seeing Priest Seth suddenly hit and flung, separated from him. "Seth!" Atem looked around to see himself a way out but he couldn't leave his priest. This was grim indeed. Even he knew that summoning a spirit would not help matters any.

Cora blinked, surprised about the talk of working on her deck. "We do? I'm in for one heck of a lesson, huh?" She asks, feeling a tad nervous.

Seto looks to Adam and shrugs. "Sure."

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Atem listened as did Mahad shocked to hear what she went through to come back into their lives. He knew this wasn't his fault, he just wished he understood what happened better. Seeing her knees buckle, Atem quickly got to her and caught her, lowering himself to the ground as he held her in his arms. "The healers are on their way my Pharaoh." Mahad tell him. He nods moving some of her hair from her face. "I'm glad you are home too." He says softly.

Cora nodded to Yugi. "I want to."

Seto made his way toward a couch for Duke, seeing as how he looked like he was about to pass out soon, picks him up. Once they were at the closest couch he takes Duke to it and sets him there. "Which ever works."

Mahad stood beside both Zhara and nodded to confirm Mana's words. For both Atem and the Priest to see the sudden change in Zhara's eyes as she asked about being safe and could rest, All Atem could managed was to nod while feeling hurt and ashamed. "Yes. You are safe now. You can rest." He tells her with a soft smile. Putting away his pain once again.

Cora looks over to Tristen and smiles. "That's good." She moves her gaze to her hand on Yugi's shoulder before looking over to the group around the table. "I gave it some thought....and I want to help. I don't want to be on standby and do nothing with what I've seen."

"Are you sure? It's gonna get rough out there. " Joey admits. Cora nods. "I'm sure."

Seto takes a deep breath to steel himself, making his way toward Duke as he was talking to himself. He grabs Duke's arm and slings it over his shoulder. "You didn't do anything worse to Mokuba. You did what you thought was right. And...if I am perfectly honest.....I...appreciate what you did for him."

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Mahad listened to his Apprentice as she explained the situation. He understood seeing as the High Priest's have to do the same thing. Placing a hand on Mana's head rubbing her head a little. "Good observation. Let us help her once more." Mahad makes his way toward Zhara and their Pharaoh.

Atem listened and sighed in defeat. He didn't know how else to convince her. Zhara had indeed changed so much. How could he hope to express what he was fearing based on what he saw already and going through.

Cora didn't know what to say even if it seemed appropriate to say something. Instead she places a hand on his shoulder. "Do you need a moment?" She asks finally.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Atem gasped, seeing what the shadow revealed of Zhara's situation. He could not believe what he was witnessing before him. The Pharaoh tentively took steps toward her wondering how she could think of such things. "Zhara...you are not weak and if anything, this just justifies your resolve. However if you want continue to serve as my shadow, these wounds needs proper tending to. Please..."

Mahad watched, about ready to intervene. The fact that the Pharaoh was almost to the point of begging Zhara, made his patience wear thin. "Just about. She is barely listening to him."

Joey nodded. "We almost lost our best friend. Everyone would have been crushed. Seto got up from thr room and followed Duke after being done himself.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Oooooooo....good question. Probably better to learn it through battle.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

The Priest Mahad watched as the woman he now seen to be Zhara was being pulled and lead by the Pharaoh. He was surprised. He watched on as Zhara stopped him as the Shadows showed her wounds. "Mana. Fetch the healers, I'll watch over them."

Atem stopped when made to though shocked when she down played her own wounds which the shadows showed. "Zhara, your wound is more than you make it out to be. You need a healer. As much as you want to protect me you should also take care of yourself." He tried to reason.

Cora watched Yugi closely, seeing how sad he was. She looked toward Tristen whom told her about how hard it had been for Yugi and Yami. She knew she couldn't imagine what it was like, even a fraction of what they had felt.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

"No, you clearly are not or you would not be bleeding. Now that you are my Shadow, you are also apart of my kingdom of of which you are apart of of my problems." Slowly down so she could keep up.

Yami looked surprised. Zhara requested it? "I don't understand. Did she say why?"

Cora listened to them all interested by their tales and additions.
