Summary: Sequel to Retrieving Destiny. Months after their fateful trip to Egypt, the reunited soul mates continue to adjust to their new life in Domino as well as the modern teens' impending graduation.  Things appear to be going well until a strange series of seemingly random attacks and bizarre accidents begin plaguing both the lights and their protectors, forcing their lovers into action.  In order to protect their mates, the ancient beings must now determine not only the fate of the "lost" city of Atlantis, but also their entire species!  The race is on to find the answers before they all face annihilation at the hands of an unknown enemy.

Poking his head into his lover's home office, Jonouchi heaved an exasperated sigh. Their friends were meeting here in an hour to discuss a plan of action regarding the attack yesterday and Seto was working!

Striding over to the seemingly oblivious brunet's desk, it occurred to Jou that his boyfriend might be doing something related to the upcoming meeting so he altered his plan of attack.

Wrapping his arms around the other teen's shoulders from behind, he gently nuzzled the hikari's pale neck.

"Whatcha doing Seto?"

"Finishing a project for Atem," the brunet replied, pausing briefly to kiss the blond's cheek.

"So that's why he called earlier. What's he got you doing?"

"'Travel arrangements. I've already set up an expense account and now I'm ordering tickets and arranging for flights."

Jou blinked in confusion. "What does he need travel arrangements for?"

"You'll find out tonight, pup. We need to get these plans into motion for everyone's safety. The quicker we start the better."

"But what about the tournament? You can't miss out on that! If those guys are watching us they'll notice and get suspicious!" the blond protested.

Having expected an argument Seto calmly explained, "Atem has thought of that already. Trust me Kastuya you'll understand when he explains things tonight."

"Why can't you tell me now?" Jou whined at this lover, making his famous "kicked puppy" face.

"Because he'll be here in less than an hour and I'm busy finalizing this for him." Seto replied, not once looking up from his monitor.

"Fine," Jou sulked, pouting cutely.

"Quit pouting before I ravish you senseless right here on my desk."

The blond ms-n hwi grinned shamelessly and wiggled his eyebrows. "What if I want you to ravish me?"

"I'll leave the door open," the brunet hikari threatened.

"You wouldn't," Jou breathed, looking positively scandalized. "When just anyone could walk by and see?" he knew his boyfriend had a bit of an exhibitionist streak, but really . . .

"Are you forgetting all the times we've had sex in the limo, in my office at work, the roof top and the bathroom at school, or when I took you outside on the 40th floor balcony at that hotel in New York?" Seto reminded him dryly.

"You-you-ARGH!!" Jonouchi screamed before storming out of the room, his face bright red from embarrassment. Glancing up to watch his retreat Seto couldn't help but smirk. It was so cute how his lover got angry when he was embarrassed and fun as hell to tease him about their semi-public romps.

((Are you almost done my light?)) Seth asked mentally as he watched his husband storm around the mansion like a predator watches an injured animal. ((All that talk about sex has given me a marvelous idea for Jono.))

Seto smiled lecherously, ((Me too. Just give me ten minutes to finish and we'll turn him into a pile of goo.))

((Where should we jump him?))

((Try and lure him into the formal living room. It's closer to the front door and has bigger windows.))

Seth smirked; oh this was going to be fun.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

About an hour later, the sated trio was still basking in the afterglow when the first of their friends arrived. Horrified, Jonouchi had ran for their bedroom as if his life depended on it, shouting back at the two brunets that he was never letting them touch him again. The poor blond had dressed in a rush, returning to the first floor just in time to watch his half-dressed lovers walking in with Yuugi, Ryou, Malik, Tomoya . . . and by the gods . . . Atem, Dartz, Bakura, and Marik. He was never going to hear the end of this.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

After an enjoyable, but embarrassing (for Jonouchi) dinner, the group settled down in the family room to talk.

"What are we going to do?" Otogi asked the two sovereigns. "If the sorcerer's cult really has returned, how can we protect our loved ones and keep ourselves a secret?!"
Honda nodded in agreement, "Yeah. It was one thing back in Egypt, back then we didn't have to hide anything, but now . . ."

"I understand why you are concerned, my friends. And you know that I share the very same worries," the former pharaoh started, looking around at his friends and family. "Dartz and I have been discussing different solutions to our problem." he continued, nodding to the other ruler.

Dartz picked up the thread, "Since our arrival in Japan, I have been researching what little information is available on Atlantis, as well as where it’s modern location may be."

Oddly enough I found the most accurate information in the works of the author and philosopher Plato, who was the first to write of our "lost" city. And I believe it is in his works of fiction that part of the truth lies. What I first noticed was that he had named each dialogue after one of the legendary knights, then in his work he made mention of facts that only one who had actually been to the city would have known."

"How is that possible?" Yuugi asked, "Plato didn't write about Atlantis until 370 B.C. That's over two thousand years after the city vanished."

Hanasaki spoke up, "We believe Plato was a direct descendant of someone originally from Atlantis. Most likely, the tale of our city's disappearance was passed down from generation to generation, changing little by little over time."

It was Jou who finally said what everyone was thinking, "You plan on finding Atlantis."

Dartz and Atem nodded. "Tomoya and I had always planned on finding our former home after he finished college, but with these attacks . . ."

The gray-eyed teen smiled wryly, "We decided to step up our plans a bit."

"So where are you guys headed?" Anzu asked curiously.

"Gibraltar, a British-ruled country on the Iberian Peninsula off the southwestern tip of Europe. The Rock of Gibraltar is one of the "Pillars of Hercules" and quite close to Atlantis' original location. (1)" Dartz answered the brunette.

Malik looked skeptical, "It can't be that easy."

Hanasaki shook his head, "It isn't. You see that was where Atlantis WAS located when we ruled. Now that the city has gone into hiding, it could literally be anywhere in the world."

"How in the hell are we supposed to find a moving city that's hidden so well even it's own king and queen can't find it?!" Bakura exclaimed in frustration.

"Simple Bakura, we follow the clues," Dartz replied with a smirk.

"We've been looking at artifacts that archaeologists claim come from the city and the places that people argue over having been part of it or actually are the city and have learned what they have not," the orange-haired teen explained, "These are all just clues, indicating that there are hidden signs, some that only we would be able to discover, that should point us to the city. It was an old technique devised for just such an occasion." he sighed heavily, "I just don't think it was ever meant to be used for so long."

"All right, so say we follow these clues and we find Atlantis then what?" Marik asked.

"Finding it will give us two advantages over our enemies that we currently do not have. One: it will grant us a sanctuary where we can safely hide ourselves and our loved ones should things get out of control. Two: even if the people there do not know how to use them, there is a vast armory of magical and advanced weaponry as well as the massive royal library. All the books were magically protected, so the spell books will be in as good of condition as they were three-thousand years ago, meaning we can properly train the lights in both magic and combat."

"Who will be going?" Ryou asked, "It's too risky for just two people, but if we all go it will raise suspicions."

Atem smiled, "I'm glad you asked, Ryou. Dartz and I discussed this at length and have already chosen who will be leaving on the search."

Obviously, Dartz and Tomoya are going as Atlantis is their home and they would be the most adept at finding the clues. Accompanying them will be: Malik, Marik, Mai, and Isis." Raising a hand to forestall any protests he continued, "With the tournament approaching in just a few weeks, it would look very strange for my ari to leave the country. Also, Seto, Jonouchi, and Ryou would without a doubt be missed by the fans. Mai however, has missed previous tournaments before and her kkwy is Marik's sister, so many would think nothing of them leaving the country on a trip."

"What about the ms-n hwi and the knights?" Mokuba piped up from where he was seated next to his brother.

"Mahaado and Kisara will remain here to keep watch over us and our families," Seto answered his little brother, ruffling his spiky hair fondly.

"The knights will remain as well to guard Chris and Tomoya's mother," Dartz continued. To the others surprise there was no protest from the three knights standing in the back of the room. The Atlantean king had discussed the arrangements prior to the meeting to forestall any arguments. Not wanting the royal couple to travel without them, but unwilling to leave their princess and her grandmother unprotected, the three men had reluctantly agreed to their sovereign's decision.

"Seto has already made all the travel arrangements, including passports. Now all that remains is for those that are going to pack."

Before anyone could ask Seto stood and addressed the group, "You leave tomorrow at seven a.m. Pack lightly."

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Once the Atlantean royals returned home they sat down with Chris and Tomoya's mother and explained why they were leaving tomorrow. Chris was sad that her parents were going to Atlantis without her, but was happy that the knights were staying behind.

"They're lots of fun to play with!" she had chirped brightly, then gave both her parents and grandmother a hug before running to off to play until bedtime.

Once the little girl was out of earshot, Tomoya's mother had demanded the full truth, knowing that they withholding information. Tomoya wasn't surprised and sent a silent 'I told you so.' across their link to his mate. He knew his mother wouldn't be fooled by that flimsy explanation.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

After a lengthy talk with Tomoya's mother, the two Atlanteans had put their daughter to bed and retreated to their room to pack. Dartz had never felt as intimidated as he had seated in the living room with his mother-in-law. Fortunately for both their sakes, she had listened to their full explanation and had told them that if they were capable of ruling a country, the least she could do was trust their judgment.

Shaking himself from his reverie, the aqua-haired darkness watched as his lover bent over to shut their suitcase, a lecherous smile suddenly crossing his elegant features.

"That should be the last of it, koi. All that's left now is to pack an overnight bag," Hanasaki told his husband, oblivious to the perverted thoughts running through his lover's mind.

Coming up behind him, he wrapped his arms around his petite light, "We're going to be very busy for a while my love. I'm not sure when we'll get another moment alone."
Catching on to his mate's subtle hinting, Tomoya smiled mischievously, "So what you are saying then is that you want to-"

Pouncing, Dartz pinned his slender mate to the bed. "Yes."

Magically locking the door, Tomoya wrapped his arms around his dark's neck and pulled him into a kiss. Dartz nearly purred, his gold eyes glowing in delight as their tongues indulged in a slow, sensual dance. Pulling back, the Atlantean king grabbed the hem of his queen's shirt and pulled it over his head, chuckling softly as eager hands sought out the buttons of his shirt almost immediately. "I see I'm not the only eager one today," he commented earning himself a light slap on his shoulder.

"Behave," the teen scolded, twining his arms around the other's neck once more to pull him close. Pressing their bare chests together the gray-eyed light whispered into his ear, "and I won't."

Groaning, the aqua-haired man felt a sharp spike of arousal go directly to his groin. He loved it when his light was naughty. Pulling away the bespectacled teen smiled seductively at his lover and teasingly popped the button of his pants open, slowly unzipping the fly. In a sudden move, he rolled off the bed to stand off to the side and making sure he still had his lover's full attention, the slender teen slowly lowered his pants, being sure to turn and shake his butt at the other as he slid them down to his feet. Kicking his pants aside, he toed off his socks, before hooking his thumbs in the rim of his briefs. "Still with me, koi?" he asked teasingly when he noticed his dark's somewhat glazed expression. Repressing a chuckle he continued, lowering his underwear to the point that he was barely covered.

With his tenuous grip on his desire already strained to the maximum, that final act snapped Dartz's control and he pounced, hauling his mate back up onto the bed before and engaging him in a soul-searing kiss. Using his magic to remove their remaining clothing, he smirked at the soft 'eep' his husband made.

Laying his mate down, Dartz settled comfortably between Tomoya's legs, gently kneading his soft, sensitive inner thighs. Much to his amusement, the orange-haired teen let out a startled squeak when he felt an oil slicked finger sliding between his nether cheeks to probe at his opening. Relaxing into the familiar touch, Tomoya practically purred as his yami prepped him for their joining. When he felt his petite love was stretched enough Dartz slowly penetrated him, a flash of smug satisfaction shooting through him when his lover opened hazy pleasure-filled gray eyes that were steadily darkening to almost black with passion.

Seated to the hilt, the gold-eyed yami peppered the teen's face with kisses while he allowed him the time needed to adjust. It wasn't long before a sudden sharp, upward thrust from his small lover told him he was ready.

Carefully gripping Tomoya's slender hips the aqua-haired yami began a steady pace, driving his hikari into a state of euphoria, but keeping him carefully balanced on the edge of release. "Dartz, please!" the small light pled, gripping tightly with his legs while attempting to buck his hips wildly. Unable to resist his light's pleas, the dark increased his pace, reaching his hand between them to stroke his lover's straining cock.
Head thrashing wildly, Tomoya came with a scream, his back arching off the bed in an almost impossible bend. Seeing his lover's face twisted by pleasure, combined with the tightly clenching muscles around his length, pushed the older man over the edge and into his own powerful climax. Collapsing onto his mate, Dartz nuzzled the teen's damp hair, smiling when he felt his lover's soft lips on his neck.

"Think that will hold us for a while?" he murmured softly.

Dartz sighed and feigned being put upon, "I suppose it will have to."

Tomoya smiled, "Try and think of it this way: Maybe after we find Atlantis, you can ravage me again in our old room."

"Darling, I would do that even if someone else has moved into it."
