Chapter 12: The Thief Returns

“What do you mean we’re really in Ancient Egypt?” Leona asked. Kaiba looked at Leona and answered, “It has something to do with your bracelet. It must have caused a friction between the virtual world and the time space continuum.” “Is there anyway for us to get back home?” Leona asked. Kaiba shook his head. “I haven’t figured out how to get out of here. So, we’re just going to have to have to play along.” Kaiba told her. (Great. How am I supposed to tell Katrina and Blossom that we’re really in Ancient Egypt?) Leona thought.
Leona started walking back to the palace. “Aren’t you coming?” Leona asked as she saw Kaiba standing. Leona walked over to Kaiba and said, “I know your upset about losing your millennium rod, but please come and join us.” Kaiba looked at Leona and told her, “It’s not about that.” “Then what’s wrong?” Leona asked. Before Kaiba had a chance to answer, they both heard a scream from inside the palace. Leona suddenly saw her advisor, Celina, run up to her. “My lady it is not safe for you out here.” Celina said. Leona looked at her advisor a little confused and asked, “Why? What’s going on?” “The King of Thieves, Bakura and his band of thieves are here. You must escape before…” Celina suddenly collapsed to the ground. Leona gasped in horror as she saw a sword stabbed into her advisor. Leona lowered her head as tears were coming out of her eyes and fell to her knees. “It’s a shame how people die quickly.” Leona looked up and saw the King of Thieves.
Leona stood up and took a couple steps back. She didn’t realize that Bakura’s henchmen were behind her. Leona quickly turned around and noticed she was surrounded. One of the henchmen grabbed Leona and forced her on her knees. Bakura walked towards Leona and held her chin. “So, this is the princess. My acquaintance didn’t tell me how exquisite you are.” Bakura said. Leona stared at Bakura with anger. “Take you hand off her!” Kaiba commanded. Bakura simply laughed and told Kaiba, “I’d remain silent priest. Unless you want your beloved princess to meet the same fate as her advisor.” “If you harm her, I’ll bury you to the ground!” Kaiba yelled.
An evil smile appeared on Bakura’s face. “Really? How will you stop me? Without your millennium rod, you’re powerless to stop me.” Bakura told him. Bakura let go of Leona and pulled her to her feet. He grabbed Leona’s wrist and saw her bracelet. “So, the legendary 8th millennium item belongs to you.” Bakura said. “You are coming with us dear princess.” Bakura told her. Leona looked at Bakura angrily and asked, “What if I refuse?” Bakura laughed then answered, “Then I’m afraid your friends will perish.”
Leona saw Katrina and Blossom at the mercy of Bakura’s henchmen. “No, please don’t hurt my friends.” Leona pleaded. “Leona don’t go with them. It’s ok we’ll be fine.” Katrina told her. Leona looked at her friends as tears filled her eyes. “Alright I’ll go.” Leona said. “Good. My acquaintance will be pleased.” Bakura said to her. Bakura’s henchmen released Katrina and Blossom.
Kaiba quickly walked over to Leona. “What are you doing?” Kaiba asked her. “That was the only way to help my friends.” Leona answered as her tears came down. “I promise I’ll bring you back.” Kaiba told her as he wiped away her tears. Leona forced a smile on her face and said, “I know you will.” Just as they were about to kiss, Bakura’s henchmen placed chains around Leona. She was forced to walk up to their leader. Bakura held Leona’s waist and lifted her up on his horse. Leona took one final glance at her friends as she was taken away by the thieves.
“I can’t believe Leona agreed to go with them.” Blossom said. “Kaiba, can’t you turn off this simulation?” Katrina asked. Kaiba looked at Katrina and Blossom and answered, “I can’t. We’re really in Ancient Egypt.” The two sisters’ jaws dropped after they heard they heard that. They both asked, “What do you mean we’re really in Ancient Egypt!?” Kaiba answered, “It had something to do with that bracelet you gave to Leona. Without Leona we may be stuck here for a while.”
As night fell the thieves returned to their hideout. Leona was forced off the horse and was being dragged into the hideout. It was pitch black in their entrance. It seemed like a long walk, as Leona could feel herself being dragged into the darkness. As they stopped, Bakura dragged Leona by her chains and threw her on the hard ground. “Well done. You really are a man of you word.” Said a vice in the darkness. (Wait a second. I know that voice.) Leona thought. As torches were suddenly lit, Leona saw the face of her true captor……………Marik.
“How did you get here?” Leona asked. “Thanks to your millennium bracelet I was transported here just like you and your friends.” Marik answered. Leona looked at her bracelet and thought (I knew this thing was strange, but a millennium item that’s just crazy.) “So you’re the one who sent these low lives after me.” Leona told him. “Yes. And it was so simple stealing the millennium rod from that fool you call your boyfriend.” Marik said. “So what are you planning to do with Seto’s item?” Leona asked. “Taking it was only part of my plans. I have much more in store.” Marik told her. As Leona stood up, Bakura placed her on a pillar and locked her chains. “You won’t be going any where for a while, princess.” Bakura told her.
Marik walked over to Leona, as she struggled to move. “The next part of my plan is to make you my queen, Leona.” Marik said. “I’ll never be your queen, Marik!” Leona yelled. Marik laughed and told her, “It looks like I’m going to have to make you more…..obedient, my dear.” Marik pointed the millennium rod at Leona and her bracelet started to react. Leona suddenly started to feel weak. “What are you doing to me?” Leona asked weakly. Marik smiled at her suffering and answered, “The millennium bracelet slowly drains the owner’s energy when coming into contact with any other millennium item. If you refuse to obey me, I’ll drain your strength until you die.”
