History

AN: Sorry this took so long to get out. My finals are in two weeks and my teachers have been loading us up with all sorts of homework, we had a big project due today in Geometry, and Thursday for the next two weeks along with this week and Tuesday this week I have Demo Team in karate. Because of all the distractions, please don't expect very many updates over the next two to three weeks.

Well, thanks for all those that reviewed. Those would be:

Yugi Mutou

Hey, I actually used a couple of them this chapter:

/…../ is Yugi to Yami.

//…..// is Yami to Yugi.

\…..\ is Ryou to Bakura.

\\…..\\ is Bakura to Ryou.

^…..^ is Malik (hikari) to Marik (yami).

^^…..^^ is Marik to Malik.

"~…..~" is someone talking on the other end of a phone, walkie-talkie, etc.

Have fun reading.

~*~*~*~Last time~*~*~*~

"That makes sense," Yugi thought before turning to Malik. "Do you think your sister could help us?"

Malik frowned before saying, "She might be able to. If you want we could go and ask her ourselves."

The others nodded and stood up, preparing to try and find another piece of the rapidly growing puzzle.

~*~*~*~On with the story~*~*~*~

It was nearly one when the large group reached the museum. Malik and Marik went in first, shortly followed by the others. It didn't take long to find Isis because she was currently up front waiting for Malik and his yami. It seems the Millennium Tauk, given back to her by Yugi after Battle City, told her something was up.

"Hey Isis," Yugi said from behind Malik.

"Hello Yugi, Yami. I take it something has happened." Isis said calmly and everyone nodded.

"Follow me to the back then," she said and led them all to a large, hidden backroom with chairs all around and everyone sat in their groups. When everyone had sat down Isis said, "So, what's going on?"

"How much do you already know?" Seto asked, knowing she at least knew some of it.

"I know," Isis replied, "that another ancient power is after the items, or more specifically, the Puzzle. An ancient enemy from Yami's time, part of his forgotten memories. All of it having to do with the power of the gods themselves."

"We'll just fill you in on the details then," Jason said and told everything from their mission up to this day. "And that's about it," he concluded.

"That explains a lot," Isis said cryptically before continuing, "what did you want to ask me about?'

"We wanted to ask if you knew of the Vigilis, a.k.a. the Watchmen." Jake said.

"I know of a lost legend involving a group called the Vigilis. They are said to be a group of `watchers' who warn of world changing events that may come. The last time known time they appeared was in Yami's time, before the locking away of the Shadow Realm. The events were lost to time, only written in one book that was then sealed by the Pharaoh and High Priestess, guarded by their respective monsters along with a key to the cover disguised as a piece of jewelry that was then lost after the fall of the Shadow Realm." Isis said.

"You mean this?" Jake asked, pulling the gold-covered book from a previously unnoticed backpack.

"You brought that?" Bakura asked disbelievingly.

"I wasn't about to leave it where they could get their hands on it. I'm not blind enough to believe that they couldn't get into the safe easily if they wanted to." Jake said, deadpanned.

"Well Isis, is that is?" Ryou asked, cutting off his yami's retort.

"Yes, that's it," Isis said, awed.

"Other than lost history, what's so special about this book?" Seto asked.

"In that book is contained a spell that could easily make or break a world. Break all barriers betweens worlds, change reality as we know it. It's the spell the Pharaoh and High Priestess were said to have used to stop the destruction or take-over of Earth. The whole spell along with the events leading up to it are contained in that book you hold." Isis said and Jake, still holding the book, blanched.

"Damn, so we basically have the tool that could bring about the apocalypse or worse right here?" Marik asked, astonished.

^Don't even think about it.^ Malik said and Marik pouted mentally.

^^I won't, I won't. Don't worry.^^ Marik said sullenly.

"Yes, but it could also bring about the opposite. It all depends on the will of the caster or the person controlling the caster." Isis said, unknowingly interrupting the two.

"Is there anything else you can tell us Isis?" Jo asked.

"Only that it is imperative you find the mistress of the Wingweaver before They do," Isis said simply.

Suddenly Damien spoke for the first time. "Do you have any idea where we could find Them?" Everyone understood why he asked that, Selene.

Isis smiled sadly and said, "Unfortunately I don't. I'm sorry." Damien just nodded.

"Do you know anything else about the mistress of the Wingweaver that would help us find her?" Yami asked, curious about someone in his past life.

"All I can tell you is a vague description passed down through the years. It is said that she was a beautiful woman with eyes as vivid as jewels and more powerful than most men, and few were her equals. And that's it." Isis said.

They fell silent for a moment, contemplating the description, when suddenly Yugi's eyes widened and he looked like he was about to say something, but he was cut off by a knock at the door. Someone had found the backroom and was knocking to come in.

Everyone went still then looked at the door before finally looking at each other. They were all silent for a moment before Yugi spoke.

"I'll get it," he said and stood up. He walked over to the door. When he opened it everyone say a young man, who looked about Yugi's age, with longish blond-brown natural mis hair, pulled into a small pony-tail at the base of his neck, with sunglasses covering his eyes and was wearing leather pants, black leather boots, gold and silver tight cotton t-shirt, and had fingerless leather gloves on.

"Who are you?" Yugi asked, curious.

"Hello," the young man said with a slight British accent tinting his voice, "my name is James Chancellor. I'm here on some business. May I come it?"

Isis stood up and said, "I don't recall any appointments this afternoon. Please come back later."

"You misunderstand me Miss. I don't have business with the museum, I have business with the Pharaoh, the Chosen One, and their friends, including the Venators." James said, smiling slightly.

This caused everyone to tense up Yami stood up and said, "What do you know about us?"

"Quite a bit, sir. Quite a bit," James said and removed his glasses to reveal a pair of quite startling eyes. One eye was a bright silver color around the black iris and the other was the color of molten gold wrapped around the black iris, and both colors were outlined by black along the edges.

Isis gasped slightly and said, "He's one of the Vigilis."

~*~*~Somewhere unknown~*~*~

"Are we ready to initiate step three?"

"Yes sir, everything's going as planned."

"Good."

"Sir!" a new voice comes into the room.

"What is it?"

"One of the Vigilis somehow managed to get through our guards and has now made contact with the Pharaoh, one of the Keys, and their companions!"

"What?! You fool! Send your forces out, we must stop him from telling them anything at all costs!"

"Yes sir!" sounds of someone leaving the room.

"What do we do now sir?"

"Nothing yet. Wait until the emergency is over. If all goes well, continue as planned, but if the Vigilis succeed we may have to skip at least step three."

"Yes sir."

"You're dismissed."

"Yes sir." Sounds of someone leaving the room.

"No one will stop me now. No one."
