Summary: Sequel to Retrieving Destiny. Months after their fateful trip to Egypt, Yuugi and his friends have adjusted to life with their ancient soul mates. Things appear to be going well, until just weeks before graduation, a series of bizarre accidents and seemingly random attacks begin plaguing the lights and their protectors! When the teens learn the "accidents" were planned by the same ones responsible for the attacks, their ancient lovers are forced into action. In order to protect their mates, the yami must determine, not only the location of the "lost" city of Atlantis, but also the true fate of their entire species! With new enemies coming at them with increasing power at every turn, will they find the answers they need before it's too late?

Frowning thoughtfully at the cards in his hand, Yuugi considered his options before making a decision. "You got any threes?"
"Are you sure you can't you see my cards?" Jonouchi groused as he handed over the requested cards.
Yuugi smirked, "Nope. I'm just that good."
Jonouchi groaned and fell over backwards onto his bed, careful of his still healing wound. It had been ten days since the blond had been shot and while he was finally off of bed rest, the doctor still wasn't letting him return to school until the following week. Poor Jonouchi was just happy that in a few days he would finally be able to get outside and away from the house and his over-protective lovers. He loved Seto and Seth with all his heart, but the two brunets were driving him insane.
At his wits' end, the blond ms-n hwi had made a desperate phone call to Yuugi, begging the small hikari to do something, anything to help before he was forced to take drastic measures. Arriving at the mansion in record time, Atem and Mahaado forced Seto and Seth out of the mansion, leaving Kisara behind to keep Mokuba company and to guard Yuugi and Jou.
"I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to going back to school." the blond grumbled. Despite his injuries, Jonouchi had managed to keep caught up on his homework and had no worries about missing graduation. He'd worked too hard and too long on repairing his reputation and his grade-point average to fall behind again. Even for a gunshot wound.
Yuugi giggled and set his cards down, "Only Kaiba-kun and Seth-kun could accomplish that huh."
"You have no idea,Yuugi!" Jonouchi groaned. "It's like they forgot I can take care of myself! I mean, come on! I was in a gang all through junior high and have been fighting off those guys since I left, and when I was Jono, I was one of the strongest warriors in the royal court! I even got stabbed in the side with a sword and survived that just fine!"
Yuugi tilted his head and blinked cutely, "Well . . . how did Seth-kun treat you back then?"
Jou blinked in surprise as the memory came to him, "Pretty much the same way he did this time. And back then I had a lot less stuff to keep me occupied while I was laid up." Yuugi giggled as the blond continued. "Lucky for me, the little ones stopped by a lot."
"Little ones?"
"Yeah, Seto, Malik, and Rasui." The blond grinned mischievously, knowing what his next statement would cause. "Teana even brought you in to keep me company."
"Oh," Yuugi replied, blushing softly at the mention of his past infant-self. He didn't know why he always blushed when his previous incarnation was brought up, but Atem and Jonouchi got a charge out of making him do so. "Did you want to keep going, or should I deal another hand?"
Sitting up and tossing Yuugi his cards, the blond heaved a frustrated sigh. "Nah, I'm done. We should play something else now."
"How about War?"
A head shake. "Nah."
"BS?"
Another head shake. "Nah."
"Poker?"
The blond thought about it for a moment before replying, "Okay."
Cutting the cards Yuugi glanced over at the clock, "Looks like we won't have time for more than one hand, Atem will be back soon with Seto and Seth."
"Aww man."

One month later found the teens in the school lunchroom sitting at their usual table, discussing the upcoming graduation and their darks' recent behavior.
"They seriously tried to forbid you from going to graduation?" Jonouchi asked, staring incredulously at Ryou and Malik.
Ryou scowled darkly across the lunch table. "Do you really think I would joke about something like this?"
"Man, you'd think Bakura would know better than to try and coddle his own light," Honda commented while trying not to laugh.
Malik snorted indignantly, "And Marik doesn't?!"
Anzu giggled but said nothing as did Hanasaki, who just smiled sympathetically. He knew better than anyone what it was like to have an over-protective darkness. Three millennia had done nothing to improve Dartz' already somewhat paranoid instincts when it came to his safety. On top of that, he had three equally-paranoid knights to handle as well. The five of them had had a spectacular argument over the whole affair, but in the end they had conceded to his wishes.
"So what did you say?" Yuugi asked.
"I told him under no circumstances was I going to miss my high school graduation in order to satisfy his paranoia and that if he didn't drop the subject, he'd be sleeping on the couch for a month." Ryou shook his head and sighed, "I understand him wanting to be cautious, really I do, but this is important to me and he really doesn't seem to be getting it."
"What about you Malik?"
"Eh, pretty much the same as Ryou. Except I added in a few more colorful words and threats to get my point across," the Egyptian hikari replied, a feral grin crossing his features. "So Yuugi, has our Per-Aa tried to forbid you from going?"
The tri-color-haired teen shook his head. "No, but he does keep "subtly" trying to convince me that I shouldn't go."
"Doesn't that bother you?"
"Nah. He's knows how much I'm looking forward to this, but since he still doesn't think I should go, he's trying to change my mind . . . It won't work, but it makes him feel better."
"Don't feel too bad guys," Jonouchi said, "Seth tried that crap on me and Seto, but Seto put a stop to that nonsense real quick."
The whole group stared at Jou in wide eyed shock, they knew how Kaiba was about things he wanted and how few dared to challenge him.
"He tried to make SETO not go?! Is he insane?"
The blond gazed steadily into his best friend's amethyst eyes, "You know Yuugi, sometimes I wonder the exact same thing." He shrugged, "but then again, I'm the one who married him."

Graduation day:
The senior show had been amazing, blowing away both parents and students alike with the amount of skill and talent shown by the students performing. It set the mood for the rest of the day, priming the audience for the ceremony that afternoon. With their parents, family, lovers and ms-n hwi guardians in attendance, the reincarnated teens and their classmates listened attentively as Seto gave their class speech.
((Everything clear over there?))
((So far. Nor have I have sensed anything threatening.)) Mahaado answered his wife from his position in the Shadows, his eyes still scanning the crowd cautiously.
((The area appears clear from this vantage as well. I have contacted the knights and they have seen nothing suspicious.))
((Nor has Mana.)) the master magician said, letting his brown eyes flicker over to where his student was seated with their Pharaoh, the other kkwy, and the families of the akhu.
With the lights dead seat on attending the ceremony, the ms-n hwi had insisted they guard the surrounding area. The five guardians that could be absent without arousing suspicion had positioned themselves around the grounds and were watching the graduation ceremony, hidden by the Shadows from enemy and ally alike. Serving as a second line of defense, the darks down in the audience kept their attention divided between scanning the area and watching their lights receive their diplomas.
Much to everyone's relief, the entire ceremony went smoothly and without incident.

Yuugi giggled as Anzu spun him around on the dance floor. Their school was hosting an overnight party for all the graduates, complete with snacks, soda, games, and a DJ (1). The two friends had been out of the dance floor ever since the pretty brunette had managed to pry the little duelist away from the games half an hour ago.
Inside the puzzle, Atem smiled at his light's joy, basking in the warm emotions even as he continued to monitor for danger. He was a little disappointed that the party was for graduates only (He'd wanted to dance with his akhu.), but was content to enjoy Yuugi's happiness through their link.
Panting slightly, Yuugi finally managed to drag Anzu off the dance floor for a break. He needed to sit down and recharge, have some water, and maybe snag a piece of the massive party sub. Laughing, Anzu let Yuugi lead them over the refreshments where they both filled a plate and took a water bottle each. Hearing his name being called, Yuugi looked around and spotted Jonouchi waving frantically at them from the table where he, Seto, Honda, and Malik were seated.
"Man, you guys were tearing up the dance floor!" Honda exclaimed enthusiastically.
Malik nodded in agreement, "Yeah. I knew Anzu was a good at dancing, but I never knew how good you were Yuugi."
Yuugi ducked his head shyly and blushed, he didn't think he was all that good.
Anzu smiled proudly at her friend, "Who do you think helped me practice all my partner dances?"
"Hey guys!" Ryou greeted as he and Hanasaki joined them at the table. "Wha-"
A loud bang resounded through the room interrupting the white-haired teen mid-word. The loud noise drawing everyone's attention to the main entrance just as the doors slammed shut behind a group of men dressed in black cloaks, the hoods drawn up shadowing their faces from view. Pulling a gun from the folds of his cloak, one of them men fired a shot into the air, quieting the entire room.
"Everyone get down on the ground, now!" he bellowed, his men drawing their own weapons behind him. Terrified, students dropped instantly, the hikari included, though they were communicating frantically with their yami.
"Now," the leader spoke, walking to the center of the room, "in this building are eight monsters masquerading as humans." These creatures have been living amongst you for years. "We," he said with a flourish of his arms, "are here to remove these vermin from your city."
A wave of gasps and murmurs rippled through the prone teenagers. With the exception of the eight reincarnates, the graduates were convinced that they were being held hostage by a bunch of lunatics!
"Now, we'll give you disgusting creatures until the count of ten to surrender to us and reveal your true form to your classmates."
"One."
Jonouchi started to stand, only to have Kaiba grab his arm. "Wait," the brunet hissed urgently.
"Two."
"But . . ."
"Trust the others."
"Three."
((Atem! We have to stop this!))
"Four."
((Do not worry, antyw akhu.))
"Five."
Each of the men leveled a gun at a different student.
"Six."
((Close your eyes, ari!))
"Seven."
A bright flash of light filled the room, temporarily blinding everyone who's eyes were open.
"You will harm no one!" a strong voice proclaimed.
As everyone's vision cleared, they were greeted by an amazing sight: six oddly dressed individuals were standing between the students and their attackers. There was a tan-skinned man and woman dressed as the Black Magician and Black Magician Girl, both aiming glowing staffs at the cloaked men, a beautiful pale-skinned woman with bright blue eyes, wearing gleaming white armor and wielding a large broadsword. Then there were three men also wearing armor of red, blue, and teal respectively, all three wielding swords of their own.
Staring into Mahaado's furious gaze the group's leader blanched. Their master had warned him they might run into the master magician and the other ms-n hwi and had given strict instructions for such an encounter. Glaring hatefully at the mage, he gripped the pendant his master had given him and muttered "uimiqusu (2)" under his breath and all the cloaked men vanished into thin air.
Swearing silently, Mahaado and the others vanished as well, hoping to find some trace of the men to follow.

1 - Project Graduation. I'm not sure if they do this in other countries, but in the US some of the school districts hold a big, all-night graduation party for each high school on their graduation night. Lots of food, soda, games (video and other), dancing, and sometimes a prize lottery. (We also had swimming and racquet ball at mine.)
2 - Totally made up word. I took the word "teleport" then re-spelled it using the next letter in the alphabet for the consonants and the next vowel in the sequence to replace the vowels. t-u, e-i, l-m, e-i, p-q, o-u, r-s, t-u.
