Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Mana stirred slightly when Mahad picked her up, her eyes moving under their lids. Zhara started to wave them off saying “I can’t right now. I have to make sure the palace is safe and the path for the pharaoh is secure…I’ll tend to the wounds myself later on…” she turned to pick up her staff and hissed at her wound again, stumbling back as her staff hit the ground again. The wound was worse than she thought it had been.

Isis smiled at his look and said “I know Mana and Mahad know the shadow well…thru might have an idea of a way to give thanks to her…maybe even the Pharaoh might have a few ideas…it would mean a lot to him to show how much she is treasured…”

Yugi looked around and sighed, knowing he wasn’t going to win this one. “Okay…let me at least check on Duke and mokuba…” he got up again and started to walk to the door, but when he was next to Marik he paused, his hand moving to support himself on something.

Adam said folding his hands together “call on Set tonight and have his scouts locate and protect Mako. That way we know his safe till we can get to him in the morning” he rubbed his temple, trying to focus.

Zhara was off the wall by the time the men had made it to them. Zhara’s back was bleeding badly as she saw Mahad and said “she hit that far wall hard. A unseen force…I’m sorry master Mahad, I couldn’t stop it. I think she is unharmed for the most part…” Zhara knelt down so she could lay Mana flat, letting Mahad tend to her fully. She flinched standing up and looked to Atem and said “are you unharmed my pharaoh? Is Priest Seth alright? His side looked injured…” she was cut up all over, but her eyes were on her king, ignoring her own wounds.

Lady Isis saw Seth and moved to his side, taking his unharmed side and pulling it over her shoulder. “Lean on me, my friend…I’ll help you…the others will make sure the Pharaoh returns safely…he has his shadow after all”

Yugi said weakly “I want to help Cora…” he was getting warm again and Tristen said “Yug your in no shape for anything right now. Let Joey and the others start with her, you need sleep”

Adam watched and said “that’s a good idea, we don’t want contact tracing either of them…just make sure he gets Mako isn’t a threat but an ally, that will make more sense to him…” Adam glanced to Duke and muttered “wonder if Hoth is this protective…”

Zhara saw the magic being applied and she threw the monster into the air to help get them out of the way and to the tablets. Then she spun and took out the host with a smack under his chin with her weapon and she moved to Mana, taking a defensive stance in front of her form as the remaining hosts came towards her, suddenly stronger then moments before. She was panting with blood dripping from her back. She muttered “I won’t get back up in time…the monsters must be sealed…Bane…I need you…”

Her shadow moved and the wolf like shadow appeared, towering over her and her foes. “I’m here my shadow…protect the young mage…” the shadows shot out and hit the hosts, slamming them into and thru the next wall and out of the outer wall. Zhara flinched and moved to look for them, pausing to pick up Mana in her arms and jumped onto the outer wall. The hosts were down, shadows pinning them as their soul monsters were being sealed.

In the shadows the eyes appeared and Zhara glanced at them. She smiled and said darkly “your going to have to try harder then that…I know your game by now…you want him? You’ll have to go thru me…” the red eyes hissed and said “I’ll tear your soul to pieces, Shadow Keeper…your true master won’t be able to protect you forever…” the eyes faded and Zhara sighed, holding Mana in her arms.

Yugi looked at Joey and said “but I’m used to this kind of thing from Yami…” he got up, his head pounding as he added “besides…I don’t want her…to get hurt…I’d rather it be…” he paused, the room spinning a little.

Adam said “I’d look near the docks, somewhere out of the way so he isn’t seen but close to the water…”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Mana nodded and jumped up “I’ll go ahead and scout master! Follow when you can!” She jumped off the wall to the next roof and kept going.

Lady isis appeared by Mahad and said “we should hurry…this may be too much even for the shadow…”

When mana got to the scene it was a battle ground. Four monsters of the shadows were rampaging around with their hosts fighting guards. But Zhara was handling the monsters with deadly speed, her staff flying along with shadows. She was cut and bruised but wasn’t slowing down. She saw Mana and said “mana! I need the high priests here fast! And I need tablets as well! The guards here can’t hold them long and I need to keep the monsters from running loose!”

Mana said “of course” she moved back and sent word back with a guard who had come just then. She looked back at the fighting and she said “Zhara…your so amazing…”

Zhara was handling a larger monster, binding it down with shadows, when from the darkness appeared a pair of red eyes. Watching her.

Bane nodded then growled at the scene. “Apep…” he eyes flashed and one of the hosts suddenly kicked the guard off of him with strength not his own and grabbed the guards weapon. He ran at Zhara and slashed her across her back. She gasped and fell to a knee, fighting to hold the monsters down. She looked back and muttered “that…was a dirty move…” mana gasped and jumped down to help her but red eyes saw her and sent out a wave of power that sent her flying back and slamming into a wall, making her slide down and crumble unconscious.

Yugi shook his head and said “no…she might get burned out like I am…I just need to push thru…”

Adam walked over and looked over his shoulder. He looked things over and said “where would a fisherman feel safe?”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Zhara said “his alright, my shadows protected him…” she looked at Seth and her eyes narrowed. “You’re not alright. Are bones broken? I can have these men taken to the dungeon so we can get you check…” she stopped and turned, her eyes glowing. She cursed and softly said so only Atem might near her “Bane…take them back…do not wait. Do it now” shadows shot around the fallen men and around Seth and Atem. Zhara spun her staff out and yelled “get him back to the palace! Now!” She slammed her staff to the ground and the shadows took them all away. Soon the fallen foes and the two men reappeared inside the palace gates, the shadows shooting back to where they came.

Mana was sitting on the wall and looked down. “Pharaoh? Priest Seth? How did you guys do that?” That’s when they heard a huge explosion right where they had been moments before. Mana jumped up and said “I sense monsters! Master! We might be needed!”

Bane watched and said “ah, the brotherhood sending in spirits for the first time…well into the capital…”

Yugi smiled till she was gone then sighed and held his head. Ishizu frowned and said “Yugi? Are you feeling unwell?” Yugi said “just dizzy again…my head hurts…”

Adam sat in the other chair and said “so you were blessed by Set…good thing it’s you. Your the best one to keep your emotions in check…” the way he said it, made it sound like he knew more then he was letting on. He was watching Duke, an odd look in his eyes.

Drake frowned and said “maybe…but odd it’s on the side of the building…but let’s go see how moms doing with this…then I have to figure out why the timeline is still in chaos…”

John said “move the point of the spell to her leg. It might be trying to pull something out there”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

The leader grabbed Atem and pulled a knife to his neck. “Don’t move Priest or I cut his throat!” Suddenly small daggers flew from the shadows and hit the two hooded men attacking Seth. Then shadows wrapped around Atem and pulled him to safety as a form slammed into the leader and pinned him to the wall. Zhara was standing there, her eyes glowing as she slammed the man into the dirt and slammed her staff into his back.

“That is enough. No one touches my pharaoh…no one…” she looked around as her shadow put Atem back on his feet and she called “Seth? are you alright? More guards are coming.”

Bane smiled and said “look at her go…”

Yugi smiled and looked around “oh ya…time to look at your deck…”

Adam helped lay Duke down and covered him with the blanket. “Now I get it Seto…sorry I was pushy”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Mana knelt down to help as the healers ran towards them and the first one knelt down and said “sorry my pharaoh, we had to take the long path…” Zhara was barely awake as she felt Atem catch her and she said softly “home…at last…” then she passed out as the healers took over.

Bane looked at Yami and asked “your memory returning as you see this?” He waved his hand for the next scene. The scene changed to Atem heading back to the palace and was talking with Priest Seth when suddenly black robed men attacked and hit Seth hard and sent him flying then turned to Atem. Bane said “oh this should be good…”

Yugi nodded and said “okay…then we need to work on your deck. And talk about how to handle a shadow duel”

Duke nodded weakly and said “I’m…okay…just…” a blanket appeared by Seto. Adam stood there and smiled. “Need help?”

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Zhara sighed and her breath shook. “Finally…I can…finally rest…it’s been so long…hunting down those monsters…fighting bandits…all of it…to become the best shadow I could be…I’m proud of what I was able to do. Master was proud of me even with his dying breath…told me I was ready…that I could return to your side…that I would be able to stop any threat…I regret nothing…apart not being able to save my master…but I’m happy to be home…with you all again…those days…with you were the best of my childhood…you gave me the drive to become strong and fearless…to become smarter then anyone else…be the best I could be…now I can finally be at peace…I can do my duty…with a true smile…on my…lips…” she swayed a little, her body not able to fight the pain anymore. She smiled at Atem and said “don’t worry…none of this is your fault my pharaoh…it’s just bad timing…I’m so happy…to be home…” then she fell forward, her knees buckling.

Yugi looked at her and said “Cora…you don’t really have to…” then Ishizu walked over and covered his mouth. “Shh yugi…she knows what she’s getting into…let her find her path…” yugi paused then nodded.

Duke felt his arm be held and moved, then looked to Seto as his vision blurred a bit. “I’m…so glad…I’m glad his okay…I’d do it over again…well next time just push him to you…better…landing…” he fell against Seto, breathing hard.

Yugioh: The King's Shadow

Mana ran over and moved next to Zhara and said “it’s okay now sister…you’re here. You past the test, and none of us are going to let anyone take that away. Besides, once Seth learns you were this wounded and still beat him, he won’t be able to say a word about it. You wiped the floor with his guards and the tests and you weren’t even at you top form. The council would be morons not to keep you as the shadow? Am I right my pharaoh? Master?”

Zhara blinked and looked at Atem, the pain in her eyes now showing. “Is she right? Can I…finally rest? Is it truly…really safe now?” Mana frowned a little and wondered why Zhara felt she had to put up a strong front. Then she realized it and said “you had to prove yourself more…because your master nor the last pharaoh was here to secure your claims…and you didn’t want to stress out the pharaoh by asking him to remember you…oh Zhara…” manas eyes filled with tears.

Yugi closed his eyes and nodded, rubbing his arms. Tristen sighed and said “it was a rough few weeks…Yami wasn’t himself…but Yami kicked his butt and got everyone back. And that snake didn’t stand a chance”

Duke was leaning on the wall in the hallway, his legs shaking. He was trying to move but his body was screaming at him. He felt like he was falling forward, his strength waning.
