Yugioh! The Ancient Prophecy... [PG-16]

[Time Psyduck]

"Prophecy?" Valkyria wondered aloud. "I'm not aware of a prophecy. My partner has had dreams, of ancient times and the rebirth of an ancient ruler, and they point to you, Yuzaki Kinjo - but my partner saw the dreams, so it would be best to wait for him to arrive. If I know him, he set off from reception when the explosion occurred, so he'll be with us shortly."

Don found Yuzaki's office, but it was locked. However, voices were approaching, including one he recognised. He leaned back on the wall beside the door until the others reached him. "Ah, Yuzaki Kinjo I presume?" he greeted them, affecting an upper-class English accent and offering out a hand.

[Kazekage dragon]

Yuzaki returned his gaze at Valkyria and then to Track and Suzume who were right behind him. "I guess I'll have to explain that prophecy to everyone then since I am the one who has heard it completely." Dux looked at Valkyria and told her, [i]"He's the ancient pharaoh that was reincarnated, he is Tutankhamen."[/i] As Yuzaki arrived to his office entrance he looked at the man who called out to him and nodded politely. "Yes," he said more professionally, "I am Yuzaki Kinjo, are you Valkyria's partner? Oh, and I suggest moving a little away from the door, my security bots may be overprotective since there was a recent break in." Yuzaki went up to the door and said to everyone, "Let's go inside, it's better." [OOC: What happens is the same as I posted in my previous post.]

All three D-Digihumans saw the attacks heading towards them, dark energy about to consume them all. However, when the force was about to make contact, the Bandit rushed in front of all three and conjured a strange barrier between them. Kai saw the look of disbelief on his opponent's face. "Nice try, but the D-Digihuman Bandit protects all D-Digihumans from leaving the Field by a card effect. And now, your Mirror Force has been wasted blocking Doragon's attack. BANDIT, ATTACK HIS LIFE POINTS!" The Bandit rushed towards Drew, looking back briefly at Doragon, who was resting on the floor after having his attack negated. Martoir seemed to have been concerned about Mirror Force's activation, however it seemed Drew was unaware of her 'Dance of Destruction'.

Field: Doragon (3600) (negated attack), Bandit (2500) (attacking), Martoir (0)

"Don Buchanan," he replied, "and yes, tha lassie's mah partner," before he followed Yuzaki into his office. Dark Valkyria drifted alongside him. "According to his spirit, he's the reincarnation of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen," she whispered.
"Tutankhamen? Wasn' tha' the one tha' died when he were still young? Tha' doesn't sound promisin'." He quickly quietened down, however, as Suzume walked past him into the room.

"Wait, so if it was the mother in your vision, that makes that an Ancient Eqyptian artifact," Suzume put in, leaning over to get a closer look at the bracelet. "That would make it thousands of years old, and it would be extremely valuable."
"If it's real," Don interjected, "it could be a reproduction, unless you have a way to authenticate it."

[Kazekage dragon]

Yuzaki looked at Track like he would look at a little brother when he said he slept on the ground a lot. "I think we can arrange for some new accommodations for you... Permanent ones." Then he pulled the bracelet back towards him instinctively and looked at Suzume and Don who were both questioning about the bracelet's authenticity. "It's been the cause of my vision and has called out to me," said Yuzaki, "I'm pretty sure it's real... But I do have a machine that can scan it to verify its exact age." Yuzaki move torwards a machine that was encrusted into the wall on the left side of the room which seemed to resemble a coffee maker. He carefully placed the bracelet in it and a bright light flashed from inside the scanner. On a 50 inch display screen on the opposing wall the results appeared. 'Estimated date of fabrication: 1345 B.C., Condition: Excellent/Undamaged, Materials: Gold & Ruby, Estimated Valor: 12.5 Mil' Yuzaki then took the bracelet once more and placed it inside a titanium box and looked at everyone in the room. "So that's that," said Yuzaki a little shocked with the results, "Tutankhamnen's mother died on 1330 B.C. and this is before that so it makes sense that this could have belonged to her... I'm not sure what game these guys are playing by making me recieve something that belonged to my mother, erh, my past life mother, whatever! This is very strange." He walked back to his desk and sat down and encouraged everyone to sit down as well. "So what do you guys think?, asked Yuzaki perplexed, "tell me anything because after that I am going to explain the complete prophecy to you guys."

Amathoz turned and went back where he left Seth. "Use the boy you gave the pendant to," said Amathoz coldly, "if you can handle the 'difficulty' of the task then you may do so." There was an obvious sarcasm in his voice but also a menacing tone. He looked back at Escher who left the temple and back to Seth. "You may go," he said sternly, "but you mus be back be nightfall with the other servants, one is already looking for them, Escher. If you don't arrive don't even bother waking up... Your soul will be long gone by then." Amathoz seemed strangely amused as he said this, he had a very strange sense of humor, or he just tried to make it seem like he had one.

[Ranma124]

Track watched in amasment as he saw all the high tech equipment in Yuzakis office. He watched as Yuzaki put the bracelet into some kind of machine and another machine on the opposite side of the room gave the details. Track knocked himself in the face as he heard the estimated value. "What. 12.5 million. Yuzaki your so lucky. Why can't I have some sort of ancient Egyptian artifact that belonged to my ancient Egyptian mother. That's so not fair. I never knew my mother and I don't even get to know my ancient Egyptian one. But I bet I was an orphan even in my past life." Track looked to see what everyone else would do next.
Drew watched as the other monsters attack hit him. Drew knew that there was something wrong. "Okay my turn. But I still don't get to draw." Drew pressed a button on his duel disk which turned it off. I can no longer win this duel so you are the winner." Drew began to walk away until he stopped. "I think it's time me and you went to see your boss about those cards that I asked for."

[lugia61617]

Kai seemed slightly disappointed to win by a surrender, but he was still happy. "Okay, then. Nobody seems to have noticed I left earlier, so I should be able to head in and do some last minute card working. The artwork usually takes the longest amuont of time to get processed, but it should be done by tomorrow. I'll meet you outside the Konami building where I work - it's just north of here. I'll let the receptionist know that I need to be paged when you arrive." He deactivated his duel disk, which sent all of his cards back into the main deck, which was in turn ejected and kai placed it in his Deck Box around his right leg. He waved to drew as he walked away, quite happily. It wasn't too long before he reached his place of work. As he walked in, the receptionist asked where he'd been all day. "Somethign urgent came up," he said quite convincingly, "Oh, there's going to be someone hanging around outside called Drew tomorrow, when he arrives will you page me please?" The recptionist nodded. Kai thanked her and headed into his office.

Once inside, he looked at the blank card template in front of him - Konami had recently adapted a style similar to the online Card Maker, only with various other options added. By his right hand was his sketchbook and a scanner. He took a pencil out of the holder on the neighbouring desk and began making rough sketches of several powerful cards for his new friend. It's not often he's asked by normal people to make cards, however the finished article must be of satisfactory quality when reviewed by his boss. Additionally, if a card is too powerful, it is automatically given a place on the limited or forbidden list. Each of his D-Digihumans, for example, were limited due to their instant summonability, and his "D-Digihuman Level Master" card was given the limitation text that it cannot be used in a Duel - though Kai and everyone else knew this only applied to official duels.

Seth nodded, and left the temple. Although deep down he wanted to find out what Amathoz was up to, he was still stuck under the eye's influence and could only leave the temple until night. Fortunately, since he was only told that he [i]may[/i] use the pendant, he decided he would not yet, and felt instead he should find something else to do. Besides, he thought, there's something about Amathoz which unsettled him now.

[Time Psyduck]

"12 an' a half million?" Don exclaimed, "tha's no trinket. No laddie," he added, turning to Track, "it's no' lucky. No-one sends summat tha' expensive to someone wi' no reason. Whoever sent tha' wanted Yuzaki te' 'ave it fer their own gain." He looked back to Yuzaki. "Ah'd leave it in tha' box if ah were ye, at least 'till ya know why it was sent te ye," he continued, sitting down in a chair, "now, I dinna know aboot the rest o' ye, but ah wanna hear this prophecy from the start."

[i]Twelve and a half million?[/i] Suzume wondered, [i]and the thing that guy tried to push on me didn't look cheap. What sort of money must these people have?[/i]

[Ranma124]

Track jumped on to a seat and crossed his legs so that Yuzaki could tell them all tHe story about the prophecy. " Come on Yuzaki hurry up and tell us about the prophecy." Track held his head in his hands and shouted in excitment. "I font think I can take it anymore. You just gotta tell us were all here and ready." Track made sure that he comfortable in his seat before he heard about the prophecy.
Drew stared at Kai as he waves and walked off towards his place of work. Drew turned around and began to make his way towards the temple where Amathoz was. "Master Amathoz is probably waiting for my arrival. But by Tommorrow I'm going to be much stronger. In fact with that fool Kai making my deck all I need to do is stand back and watch."Drew finally made it to the temple. He went inside. "Master Amathoz I am back."

[lugia61617]

Kai completed the rough drawings of the new cards after a few minutes. Had he had any coworkers in the room, they'd ahve been surprised as to how efficient he can be. Kai opened a drawer by his left thigh, revealing a large quantity of colour pens and pencils, as well as a variety of other illustative media. He took out a pen and proceeded to go over the drawings with much finesse, before using a rubber to erase the original sketch lines. He then proceeded to using the pens to add colour to each part of the drawings - though it wasn't his strong point, he was still relatively good at drawing, especially with a huge variety of tones and shades to use. Once each image was complete, he placed them in the large scanner and activated it. On his monitor, the pictures each opened in special card-image-making software a friend of his had designed. He cropped and applied effects with both great preceision and speed. After that was done, he moved on to writing the cards themselves. He hadn't expected to finish the art so quickly, but with no side-projects to do, nothing could distract him. It took a while, but soon he completed each card and gave them the limitation text which would disallow them in tournament play due to their power; "[font=courier new,courier,monospace]This card cannot be used in a Duel"[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]. He checked over them one more time before double clicking "submit". Little did Kai realise he had just given Drew a key to defeating himself and the other Prophecised duelists.[/font][/font]

[Wave_Sine]

Escher noticed Drew passing him on his way from the temple to look for him. Deciding that his 'mission' was now essentially complete, as Drew would be back at the temple and Seth had been instructed to return before night, Escher went to collect some 'supplies' for later. Although he was 'looking' for other servants of Amathoz as he rounded the city, he found no one, and successfully collected more supplies with which ti cause havoc. Night would be falling shortly, so he hurried back to the temple to confirm that Drew and Seth were indeed there.

[lugia61617]

Seth was still outside of the temple, having determined that there was nothing to do now, nor any point in doing anything since nightfall was soon. He nodded to Drew as he'd entered the temple before returning to making plans outside. [i]Hm, if I Use the pendant now, I could have the boy inducted into the group as a half-willing servant, and then Amathoz's eye could seal the deal...then again, the darkness inside him should have been amplified by the pendant, so he should be more willing to assist our aims anyway.[/i] He continued to plan when he noticed Escher walking towards him, evidently he was headed to the temple for the night meeting. "Escher, nice to see you again. Excited about the meeting? I think we'll be allowed to be more open on our attacks soon, all things considered." He smiled as he spoke, though his eyes were dim, the sign of Amathoz's direct control.

Back in the Konami Co. building, most of the workers were leaving, and Kai felt it was time to log off as well...or was it log out? Both never worked for him anyway. With the monitor and terminal off, he walked out of the office, switching out the lights and locking his office. When he reached the reception, it seemed the receptionist was already drinking coffee for her night shift. [i]Man, does she ever go home? I've never seen her leave the office.[/i] He bade her farewell before walking out onto the darkening streets. As he began walking home, Doragon and the Bandit appeared either side of him.
"[i]Kai...I'm not sure how we should put this, but..."[/i]
[i]"Remember when you found that pendant?"[/i] As Bandit mentioned it, Kai stopped dead in his tracks. Both immediately regretted having separated themselves from him for even a moment. When Kai looked at them, his eyes showed the wickedness they had yet to banish.
"...What about it? I think it's quite a nice pendant, to be honest." As soon as he spoke, he oddly seemed normal again. Had the spirits imagined it?
[i]"...We removed the memories so they weren't as distressing on you, but it was obtained from someone...evil."[/i] Doragon muttered. The Bandit resumed the conversation.
"[i]We think if you get rid of it...It might actually help weaken or remove the dark side of you."[/i] After hearing this, Kai considered.
"You are my duel spirits, so I admit you're wise...but...I don't think it would be enough. As long as you exist, I'll be safe from it anyway, right?" The too spirits eyed each other, as if to say; 'he's a great guy, but a bit too trusting'. They also wanted to vent their concerns about Drew, since something didn't bode well with them about him. However, it seemed Kai was in no mood to listen. He'd already resumed walking home, and the spirits had to hurry to catch up and re-enter him.

[Kazekage dragon]

Yuzaki closed his eyes to remeber the details of the prophey as seen in his nightmare. When he opened his eyes they shifted into his Horus eyes, sun and moon, and then shifted back to the normal hazel eyes he always had, he did not notice the change though since he could not look at himself. "The prophecy was actually a nightmare I had," said Yuzaki, "in it a man with three red eyes appeared..." He looked around a little uneasy but then continued while grabbing his necklace instinctively. "Then I was back in a grand temple sitting on top of a throne... Suzume, you were my sister," he said a little uneasy because if anyone knew of Tutankhamen a bit they knew that his sister was also his wife, "then the scene changed once more I saw each and every one of you, and some others that I have yet to meet,dying... The world was completely overrun by monsters I had never seen before." Yuzaki took a deep breath trying to calm himself down so he could continue to the actual prophecy. "I was back at the temple and I was faced by a giant wall that had ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and I could understand them. 'The day shall come when the youngest of all pharaohs returns to this world. He will bring about a new power that will re-awaken his lost enemy. The world will fall into the Duat as it becomes destroyed by this unspeakable evil. Knights of the new Duat Challenges will arise to help the pharaoh face this evil. Gods themselves will tremble as pure evil emerges from the depths of the Duat. Apophis will be released if they cannot stop it in time. Bringing about his reign of destruction and his faithful servant by his side, they will attempt to kill the knights and closest allies and loved ones of the pharaoh. In the end a grave sacrifice must be made in order to save everything else he loves.If not, the world will be completely consumed by the Duat'" Yuzaki lowered his head and thought for a moment. "Well that's the prophecy," he said quietly, "I invented the dueldisk and brought what in the anime was known as Shadow Games, Duat Challenges, back... I am the reincarnation of Tutankhamen and you are the 'knights', or duelists that the prophecy speaks of... And I have to sacrifice something in order to save everything else I love..."

[Time Psyduck]

[i]Didn' Pharaohs marry their sisters,[/i] Don wondered, looking between the two, [i]Nah, it canne be. He'll 'o 'ad more 'an one sister, surely.[/i] Suzume would likely have thought of something similar, but her subconscious had decided not to let that information come to mind. Instead her mind drifted to a girl she'd known when she was much younger. [i]So I really was a princess? Beat that, Sakura.[/i]

"So making the duel disks brought back some ancient version of Yugioh, and now an evil Egyptian god is trying to come back?" Susume asked. "Yuzaki, I though that duel runner was stupid, but only you could try and create an accessory for a game and end up awakening some ancient evil."

"Well, tha' clears quite a bit up," Don added, "aboot wha' we're all here for. Bu' nightmares an' prophecies ain't gonna deal wi' this evil. So, Yuzaki, wha de ye know aboot this Apophis, and who's Amazoth?"

[Kazekage dragon]

Yuzaki looked at Suzume and slightly smiled in order to give some false sense of confidence. "Suzume," he said softly, "if it was going to happen, it was going to happen. I can't change what's happened but we can stand and fight; Sis." He winked as he said the last part because he was going to milk that bit as much as he could, which was his old self once more. "Well Don," said Yuzaki now talking more seriously, "I guess you guys deserve to know, just today I was confronted by Amathoz he was apparently the high priest for Tutankhamen, erhg, I mean me, whatever. He assaulted me with what appeared to be real monsters and not holograms of my design." He shifted uneasily as he remembered the encounter and raised both his sleeves sp everyone could see snake bites on both his arms. "As you can see they tasted me pretty well," Yuzaki said coldly, "if it wasn't for the fact that I somehow made my hologram solid as well somehow, I'm not sure if I would have survived the encounter. I believe Amathoz is getting these powers from Apophis..." He then closed his eyes once more and strengthened his grip on his necklace as he prepared to speak of Apophis. "Apophis is basically the worst Egyptian god which is represented as a giant snake, hence why Amathoz's monsters that attacked me were snakes," said Yuzaki, "it is suppossed to be the one that represents chaos and pure evil. It is the enemy of Ra, which is the supreme god in Egyptian mythology. It is said that Apophis is the one that will bring the Apocalypse to this world when it is unbound; the gods under the command of Ra bound him in the Duat, he always battles Ra when it is nightfall, that is why I suggested the sleepover. Nightfall is when the enemy is strongest. Basically think of Apophis as an Egyptian version of the devil, only much much worse..."

[Ranma124]

Track jumped out of his seat and began to jump around the room laughing and cheering. He knew that the others probably thought he was some kind of weirdo or something. He stopped and looked around the room and so that he can explain to everyone why he was so happy. He looked mostly at Suzume and Don. " Hey come on you two. Who cares who Amathoz or Apophis is. Cause I certainly don't. Didn't you hear what Yuzaki said. Us guys are knights. We are here to defend the pharaoh Yuzaki." Track smiled and laughed. "Well seeing that out of us three I'm the strongest then i will elect myself to be the leader of the knights."

[Time Psyduck]

"Yuzaki," Suzume replied, "everything you say makes things sound worse, but still, I'm with you, brother. Only you could have gotten in a mess like this, but I get the feeling only you could end up being reincarnated so close to your sister. Oh, by the way, which of us was older?"

"Laddie," Don cautioned, "were ye no' payin' attention? Apophis is tha' biggest evil in tha' entire Egyptian religion, and this Amazoth fella' is workin' te bring in' back. This isn' some game, laddie. Did ye no see Yuzaki's arm? This is real, and there's a chance we may no' even get out o' this."
Dark Valkyria drifted up to Track and, arms crossed, stared down at him "Track, you are too naive. You say you are here to protect Yuzaki Kinjo, and yet you simply dismiss his most powerful and dangerous enemies out of hand. Frankly, child, you leading the guards of Yuzaki knights would be a liability. But by all means, feel free to treat this as a game. Feel free to laugh and play, and feel free to consider yourself better than my partner despite the fact that you have never seen him duel. But if you do, you may as well go home now, because all you will do is get in the way of the others."

[Ranma124]

Track listened to what Don had to say. Then Dark Valkyria came and told Track that he was too naive. Track didn't know what naive ment but he did know that this duel spirit wasn't complementing him. After they said what they had to say Track put his hands behind his head and looked at them. "Well if you put it that way then heck yeah we don't stand a chance. You guys need to have more confidence. I mean sure Yuzaki might be injured but he hasn't lost confidence. If it wasn't for me you guys would all be depressed. All Im trying to do is lighten up the mood." After Track had finished he heard Dark Valkyria talk about Track being the leader would be a liability. "Listen you I'm no weakling. And sure I've never seen your master duel before but he hasn't seen me has he. And if I did see him duel then I'd probably fall asleep."

[Time Psyduck]

"There is confidence, child," Dark Valkyria told him, "and there is recklessness. Feeling that you can defeat our enemies is not the problem. Saying 'who cares about our enemies because I am good' will leave you unprepared and defeated. Your opponents are dangerous. They can be beaten, but by being prepared, not by charging in with nothing but belief that you can."

"I do not have a master," she continued, her voice becoming more dangerous, "but although my partner may not have seen you duel..." She turned to Don for a moment. "He uses a Junk deck. You see, I have. I watched part of your duel with Yuzaki Kinjo this morning, and since I am on his side, he knows more about your deck than you do of his."

"Ye'd fall asleep if ye were watchin' me duel, would ye?" Don asked. For a moment he loomed over the boy, but then he drew back and relaxed, but still seemed sturn. "That's the problem. If ye canne be bothered to learn the strategies o' others, they're gonna out-manoeuvre ye at every turn, in Yugioh an' in life."

[Ranma124]

Track yawned as Dark Valkyria began to talk. He then pretended to make snoring sounds. When Dark Valkyria was finished talking Track looked at her angrily after she had told Don Tracks deck. "Hey. No fair your telling him my deck. Why I oughta." Suddenly Junk Synchron appeared after resting from the duel he had earlier. Junk Synchron shook his head at Track telling him to calm down. " Your right Junk Synchron. I shouldn't let these losers get me angry. In fact we've got a common enemy so that means we gotta work together instead of arguing." Track looked over at Dark Valkyria. " Do you mind not going round telling people my deck because I kinda like to make it a surprise. And sorry if I was a bit rude but you really weren't that nice to me. If you know what I mean." Track then looked at Don. "Listen man. Me and you have got to work together. Like I said to your Duel spirit I'm sorry for being rude. Anyway your right I've got to stay alert. From now on I'm completely focused." Suddenly Track looked out of the window. " Oh man look at that awesome bird." Track went back over to Don. "Okay now I'm completely focused. Hey could you tell me your deck so that we can learn each others strategies if we ever have to tag duel together." Track stuck his hand out to slap Dons hand in a friendly way. " Us knights gotta stick together."

[Time Psyduck]

"Can I say something?" Suzume cut in. "I've seen you duel, and you dueled Yuzaki, so he was the only person who didn't know anything about your deck - and since your duel spirit just came out, I think he might have guessed anyway."

"Yes, I told him your deck," Dark Valkyria responded, "and there were at least two people working with Amazoth watching your duel as well, meaning that if he considers you a threat, he can already find out more about in that I told my partner. For the record, I am not nice, so do not expect me to be."

Don reached up and pulled Track's hand into a shake. "Yer right aboot tha', we gotta be united, but if ye wanna see mah strategies," he told him, "tha best way is fer us to duel. Me tellin' ye some o' mah moves isn' tha same as ye seein' 'em fer real. Wha' de ye say, laddie?"

[Ranma124]

Track listened to what Suzume said. He rolled his eyes and went up to her. He leaned close to her face. "Shut it Yuzakis girlfriend." He then walked away from her. He heard Dark Valkyria say that she wasn't nice and he Track shouldn't expect her to be. "Whatever miss I'm so strong I shouldn't be nice to anyone." Track stuck his tonge out at the duel spirit. He then went back over to Don and shook his hand. He then heard Don challenge Track to a duel. Track ran over to the other side of the room and readied his duel disk. "I'm always up for a duel. And you know what I'm feeling very generous today so you can go first. I insist."

[lugia61617]

Looking at the sunset in front of him, Seth sighed. "Well, the others are starting to arrive now. . .GUess I should go back to the temple as well." He stood up, brushed himself down and entered the temple. In front of him he could make out the silhouettes of multiple other servants. They were all a little early, but it didn't matter too much. Besides, he'd done nothing since leaving the temple, still debating the issue of whether or not to use the pendants.

Elsewhere, Kai was finally inside his apartment and getting undressed. It was only now that he'd noticed his bizarre new wardrobe that the darker him had created. He felt disturbed over the events that had passed today, but didn't have enough energy to care - he was quite worn out as a result of everything he'd done. Just as he tucked himself into his bed, a large duvet on top of him and three black pillows below his head, his phone beeped to indicate the receiving of a text message. Tiredley, he picked up the phone which he'd left on his bedside desk and read the message;
[font=courier new,courier,monospace]Cards approved. Printing. Will send them to you by tomorrow morning.[/font]
[font=courier new,courier,monospace][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]That was good news. Kai fell into a happy sleep in the knowledge he had what he thougth was a new friend, when in fact he was dooming them all. When the happiness wore off, his sleep became darker and dementing. [/font][/font]

[Kazekage dragon]

Yuzaki was gravely annoyed by all the discussion that was going on and was surprised that Track and Don were now preparing for a duel. [i]So much for working together...[/i] Yuzaki grabbed his forehead as he lowered his head and stood up from his desk. "Track," he said, "who chooses the leader of the knights in a kingdom? And second, she is my sister...siiiissteeeerr, also making your deck a surprise in a team isn't a good idea; and you were older than me back, Suzume, then even though it's obviously different in the present. Don, Valkyria, could you calm down he's just a kid after all..." He looked as Track was getting ready to duel Don and sighed. "If you guys are going to duel do it somewhere other than my office please," he said very ticked off, "the stadium is 5 stories down, underground; it connects to your dueldisk for more realistic holograms... If you want let's go."

Amathoz was inside speaking with the strange orb once more and was observing what Yuzaki and his friends were doing. "No problem my master," said Amathoz to the orb, "let them have a false sense of security, they will all fall soon!" Amathoz could sense that his servants were already back inside the temple. "I must leave my lord," said Amathoz, "but I will return soon, and I will understand more of the prophecy." He strode slowly towards the great hall, the robes slowly moving on the floor as mini snakes emerged from the floor with each step; he sat down on his throne and looked forward, waiting for anyone who might be there to speak up.

[Time Psyduck]

"He is not my boyfriend," Suzume insisted, "and stop acting like a jerk. It makes you look like an idiot." She crossed her ams, glaring at the boy. [i]What is up with that kid. It's like he wants me and Yuzaki to be together.[/i] Her mood only lightened when Yuzaki confirmed that, back in Egypt, she'd been the older one. Why she cared, she had no idea; it just made her feel a little more validated, even if she had absolutely no knowledge of that life.
Dark Valkyria looked at the child. "There is a difference between being 'nice' and politeness and respect. Fortunately, it is of little importance in comparison to the evil we are gathered to face, so I have no need to attempt to educate you on it."

"Well 'e may be jus' a kid," Don replied, "but it seems these enemies o' yours pose a real theat. Ah dinne like the idea, but it doesn'e seem as though there'll be any more room to be "jus' a kid". It's better we all get our 'eads in gear noo, rather than when someone's got a gun te' em.

"A stadium would be a good idea though. To be honest, Ah canne think why ah didn' expect ye te have one, wha' wi' this bein' ye line o' work. Please, lead on, Pharaoh," he finished.
