Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction / Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Spira's Tournement ❯ The Gathering of the Dark ( Chapter 3 )

Okay, here's the next chapter.

Magicman/Smokegirl - Actually, it was the regular Marik who teamed up with Yami Bakura, not his Yami.  If I remember correctly, the only interaction the two Yami's had was dueling each other.  Maybe it was in the manga.  As for the Egyptian God Cards/Sin reference…if I say anything more, I might spoil the story.

Fire Goddess101 - Yes, Osiris is the Japanese name of Slifer.  Actually, Saint God Osiris, I think is the official name, but I could be wrong.  Usually I go by things from the dubbed version while adding some aspects from the Japanese version occasionally. I usually use the American names but I refuse, and I mean refuse to use the name based on the producer!

Yami Bakura's eyes narrowed at the Maester of Yevon.  "I've heard of you, Seymour.  When I first regained control of Bakura, that girl Yuna explained about how you planned to become the next "Sin," or whatever the name of some fiend that threatened Spira, only to be foiled!"

Yami Marik snickered, "You let a woman get the best of you? HA!  If you're this bad guy everyone's been talking about, then taking over this realm should be rather simple for us!"

Seymour glared, "It's not as if she were alone!  She had seven others accompany her to defeat me, and put an end to my plan."

"Hmm…sounds like the Pharaoh and his pathetic friends…" The former holder of the Millennium Rod mused, before getting back on the subject.  "That still doesn't explain how in the name of Holy Ra we've all arrived here!"

Seymour sighed.  "After my soul was sent to the Farplane, I spent my life observing Spira as it passed on…from the formation of New Yevon, the Youth League, and the Machine Faction…all the way up to this Duel Monsters fascination.  One day, I came across a suspicious-looking vortex of a mixture of a color of black and violet.  Upon further inspection, I found myself engulf in the vortex and that's how I arrived here!

"That sounds familiar to our situation!" Yami Bakura explained, "We were in the Shadow Realm as we saw a greenish-colored vortex.  We went to investigate it, and found ourselves going through it!  That's how we've arrived here!" He stroked his chin.  "It's possible that the energy force in the Farplane might have mixed with the continents of the Shadow Realm.  That may explain our reincarnation, but the question is, how could it have happened!

"The only way Shadow Magic is existent is from a holder of a Millennium Item, or the Millennium Items themselves!" Yami Marik stated. "There aren't any Millennium Items in this Spira!" He snickered, "I doubt these fools have ever heard of the Millennium Items, let alone that they're the holders of such items.

Yami Bakura nodded before he remembered.  This memory was the source that made him begin to laugh sinisterly!

Seymour raised an eyebrow,  "Is there something humorous to our situation?"

The Tomb Robber laugher grew louder as Yami Marik began to twitch, "Spill it out, all ready!" He yelled.

"There is a Millennium Item here in Spira: My Millennium Ring?"

The former Maester raised an eyebrow as Yami Marik glared "Explain!"

"The last time I took over Bakura, I left a part of myself in the Millennium Ring just incase the Pharaoh somehow managed to banish me to the Shadow Realm once again!  I remembered what he tried to do, to prevent my inevitable return, to prevent the brat from being possessed again!" Yami Bakura laughed as he remembered the memory all too well…

Brother walked up to Bakura.  "Erm…Bakura?"

Bakura blinked.  "Hmm?"

"May I see that Millennium Ring of yours?"

"I don't see why not…" He shrugged as he took off the ring and gave it to Brother.

"Hmm…" Brother examined the golden ring, but then clutched it hard. "Cyo kuutpoa du dra nehk! (Say goodbye to the ring!)" Brother tossed it as far as he could into the farplane.

"Brother wait!" Bakura called out as it was too late.  The ring was already thrown into the unknown parts of the Farplane.

The Tomb Robber scoffed, "That fool Brother though that he had disposed of me!  But if what I think about this situation is true, than what that Al Bhed simpleton did was more of a favor for us than for those other fools!"  He then extended his arm, ready to retrieve his Millennium Ring.  "Ring, return to me at once!" He ordered as from the deepest of the Farplane, the Millennium ring has returned to his hand.  What was noticeable was that there was a dent into the ring with a small crack, but it was large enough for just the smallest amount of Shadow Magic to pour out from.  "Just what I thought!  Shadow Magic must have poured from my Ring, and mixed with the containments in the Farplane.  And we all have that fool to thank!"

Seymour sighed, "Yes, for people who are skilled in machines and technology, the Al Bhed aren't exactly the best people in Spira in the common sense department …" He began to walk away from the two Yamis, but then found himself immobilized, courtesy of the Millennium Ring.  "What in Yevon's name is this?"

"A sample of what power I possess…" Yami Bakura's eyes narrowed.  "And who said that our business with you was finished?"

The Former Maester glared, "If you don't mind, I have plans that I need to start anew…"

"What plans?" Yami Marik demanded as he and his fellow Yami advanced towards the stuck Guado.

"Simple!  I'm going to revive and take control of Sin.  Then, I will cleanse Spira and began it anew, under my leadership."

Just then, Yami Marik gave a wicked smile. He had an idea!  Perhaps this "Maester" could be of use to them both, he thought.  "Seymour…"

He then gave a glare to the darker side of Marik as the Yami continued, "If you do go along with this plan, how do you know that the Summoner and her friends won't interfere and foil them again?  That's why I propose an alliance!"

This made Seymour somewhat interested.  "What do you have in mind?"

"You've been defeated at the hands of the Summoner, just like we've been single-handedly defeated by the Pharaoh!  But together, we can defeat all of our enemies!"

Yami Bakura added, "In Spira, the Gullwings have made a duel disk that makes the monsters summoned exist, which makes one think about the potential it can have as a weapon."

"What do you mean?"

"What if I said that there were three more cards?  Cards that are even more powerful than, say Exodia?  With all three of them, no one will be able to handle all three of them!  No one, not even the Pharaoh or the Summoner will be able to stand up against Obelisk The Tormentor, Osiris The Sky Dragon, and the Wing Dragon of Ra: The Egyptian God Cards!"

A smile formed on the face of the Former Maester of Yevon.  "And what do you want from this alliance?"

"Besides the destruction of the Pharoah, we need to learn more about Spira!" Yami Marik stated.  "Perhaps we can use whatever knowledge about Spira to our advantage!"

"Very well…perhaps a lot can be gained, if we were to work together!" Seymour smiled.  "But if we're going to revive Sin, we're going to need plenty of souls!"

Yami Bakura smiled.  "Leave that to us!  Gathering lost souls comes very easy to us.  And if this 'Sin' is indeed as powerful as you say it is, then it's only a matter of time before the world belongs to us!"

The three of them laughed as they decided to leave the Farplane.  There was much to plan and construct after all, if they're going to destroy their enemies!  What they did not notice, was that they weren't the only ones who were reborn due to the mixture of the contents of the Farplane and Shadow Magic…

A pair of eyes opened as he began to stir.  He suddenly realized where he was.  He was at the Farplane, but…he was living!  How was this possible?  He was already dead when he had first arrived in Spira.  Reduced to just being a dream of the Fayth.  After Sin's defeat, he had vanished from Spira. He had vanished from her.

Now, somehow, some way, Tidus was alive and well!  The Star Player of the Zanarkand Abes pinched himself to see if he were dreaming or not, but found himself able to feel.  Then again, he always could before Sin's defeat.  However, he could worry about his own reincarnation later, as there were bigger fish to fry!

Tidus may've been mistaken, but didn't he just saw Seymour leaving the Farplane with two other men he didn't recognize?  Didn't Yuna finally send Seymour after their last fight?  But if he was brought back to life, who said that he couldn't have been reincarnated in the same way?  One thing was for certain, Seymour was up to no good, and Tidus was determined to stop him.  But first, there was someone who needed his help.

Tidus looked down as he saw a boy who couldn't be more than 12 years of age with short Turquoise hair.  He was unconscious and didn't have anyone to help him.  Anyone but him, Tidus thought. The older boy kneeled down and checked the younger boy for a pulse.  'What is going on here?' He thought.

The young boy finally began to stir… "W-where am I?" He asked.

"You're in the Farplane!" Tidus explained before introducing himself.  "My name's Tidus, what's yours?"

"Noah…" The boy said.  "Noah Kaiba."  He sat up as he looked around.  "How did I get here?  Wasn't I in the virtual world?"

Tidus sighed in relief that the boy named Noah was okay, but was then taken back when he heard the words "Virtual World." "Virtual World?  I don't follow."

Noah sighed, "It's a long story." He then noticed the blonde looking towards the exit.  "What's wrong?"

"Seymour…" He muttered then looked to the younger boy.  "Seymour left with two guys.  I managed to have a glimpse of one of them.  He wore a purple cloak and khaki pants.  Not to mention that his hair looked like he had too many bad hair days.

"Doesn't ring a bell…" Noah admitted.  "So what's up with this place anyway?"

"Well…this is the place where dead spirits rest.  But you can still see them."

"So basically it's a visual version of a cemetery?"

"Yeah…you could say that…" Tidus got back up on his feet.  "Come on, let's go!"

"Let's go?  Where?" Noah asked, confused.

"We can't let Seymour and his new partners in crime get away!  Trust me, I know that Seymour can't do any good!  Did you know that he tried to destroy Spira and recreated it into his own image?"

"Sounds like my father…" Noah sighed, remembering Gozaburo's plan to digitize the world and become ruler.

"Hmm?"

"Nothing…Forget it.  Back on subject, do we even have any weapons to use against them?  The fact that it's 3-on-2 is hard enough without being unarmed."

"I have a weapon…" Tidus drew out the familiar aqua-colored sword that was known as Brotherhood.  The same sword Wakka had given him back to when they've first met.  "What do you have, Noah?"

Noah dug into his pocket, much to his dismay the only thing he found were his Duel Monsters cards.  "Just these Duel Monsters cards…sorry."

"Well if we get into any trouble, just stay behind me." Tidus advised.  "They shouldn't be much of a problem."

"I hope so…" Noah sighed. 

"But to be on the safe side, we need to find out exactly what's going on here.  I don't know about you, but I've been gone for about two years now and don't even have a clue what's going on in Spira!"

"I don't even know anything about this world, let alone here!" Noah informed, which made Tidus sigh.

Tidus and Noah are back from the dead.  Hey if the evil are allowed to be resurrected, why not the good?  Anyway, don't expect Spira's favorite couple to reunite or anything similar like that till around chapter 12. Next Chapter, two months have passed and Spira's Tournament is just around the corner! Read and Review!

Preview for Next Chapter:

Mokuba's eyes went wide as he saw his brother crumple up the invitation, gritted teeth and all!  "What's the matter Seto?  I remember what he's done to us, but maybe he really wants to make a truce…"

"Don't try to defend that lunatic, Mokuba!" Kaiba eye narrowed, filled with hate for the creator of Duel Monsters as Rikku walked into his office, having just finished reading her invitation.  She decided to wear her old Orange Sleeveless turtleneck/Green shorts outfit just so Kaiba could "stop his complaining."

"What's wrong, Setty?" She asked as Kaiba glared at her.

"Seto's not too happy with Pegasus's new tournament.

"The only reason why Pegasus is even throwing this tournament is to show me up!" Kaiba declared.

"Oh come on!" Rikku said, trying to reason with the unhappy CEO.  "It can't be that serious!"
