Terra was out walking the streets of Domino, dueling every duelist she possibly could. It may have been only a couple days before the tournamant but she had wanted some practice. Besides, it gave her pure pleasure to watch someone loose to her. It was quite amusing. There they are pleading on the ground begging for her to not take their rarest card. Their cries for mercy were useless! So she just shrugged it off, smirked, took their card, and walked away.
'Beating them was way too easy.' she thought smirking to herself evily, letting a huge, dark smirk form slowly across her tanned face.
Now don't get me wrong here! Terra's actually a nice kid. Believe that or not, it's up to you! She just didn't really care for anyone who was outside of her own family. She was more of a loner to tell you the truth. She enjoyed having her privacy, and doing things her way and no one elses! Life was pretty easy for her as well. Her mom never made her do any chores except clean her room and be sure to not make a mess of their apartment. Simple enough right? Sure it was! On the darkside of things though, she has never seen her father.
His name was Marik Ishtar...
She had known that she looked very similar to him because her mother had mentioned it several times. She never did figure out the reason as to why her mother and father had broken up in the first place though! Terra only got a hand on just one small piece of that information.
It was because he had done the most dispicable things anyone could ever imagine! Like what? Did he have an affair? Did he become drunk one night and come home completely crazy? I mean, come on! There should be atleast some hints to go with it!
'You should atleast let me visit him!' Terra would mention quite often to her mother, but like usual, she only got the same typical response back of, 'I can't Terra! You must understand that. I don't even know what he's been up to let alone where he is!'
Ahem, boring answer! How can you fall in love with someone, marry them, divorce them, and then not know where they are?
Okay, so she did have to agree that maybe her mother was telling her the truth but Terra sure didn't want to admit it! Apparently, she had gotten this trait from her mom's side of the family because, as you can probably tell, both her uncle and his sister never had liked to admit much of anything to one another! Some of their own important stuff anyways..
It could of just been because they were brother and sister though. Ahhh, who knows?
While continuing her way down the overcrowded streets of Domino City, she had accidently bumped into someone. Of course, a collision was to be expected since the tiny six foot wide area was jampacked with tons and tons of rushing people!...some probably even trying to get to work.
It seemed like there wasn't even enough room to breathe for heaven's sake! This sidewalk was just way too small for a busy place like Domino!
The man who she had just run into was extremely tall. A lot bigger than her, that was for sure! He must have been around six...nah...maybe almost seven feet tall? Dang that's quite big compared to the average sized human being!
He soon turned to face the young girl who, had so clumsily, just recently knocked straight into him.
When he turned he was glaring daggers directly towards the young blond teenager.
"Watch where you're going kid next time or else..." he started, his voice low and dark. This man was wearing a dark violet cloak with a strange Egyptian carving on the left side of his dark skin colored face. Terra assumed that he must of been Egyptian which caused her to gain much interest in the man (a/n: not in the affectionate way! come on, that's just gross people! lol).
She had found it quite amusing that there was another person out there moving along through Domino City with an Egyptian heritage. She herself had one, but she was only half Egyptian because of her father!...and he was one completely so she blamed her mother for making her only half and half.
However, he didn't seem to be a very nice man at all due to the fact that he had automatically chosen to blame her for running into him... and that he was being quite cold about it.
What made Terra even more furious was the fact that he had just decided to turn his back on her and then walk away from her! How dare he? (a/n: she can't control her own anger! one major flaw of hers basically)
Terra didn't seem to care though for she never did! This was just another grump who was walking amongst the streets during rush hour and nothing else!...but she still wasn't going to put up with this guy and she felt like she should honestly just say something anyways which, at the very thought of it, soon brought an evil smirk to form across her lips.
"Well hey mister, you had bumped into me! So maybe you should just watch where you're going instead and not worry about others..." Terra stated cooly with both arms crossed neatly over her chest, eyeing the stranger with curious dark violet orbs.
Even though she was standing right in the middle of the sidewalk with tons and tons of people pushing and shoving to get past her, the teenager paid 'no' sense of heed towards them. The girl just stood there, watching the scar faced man walk on for a bit... yeah, Terra was far too interested in how this tall being would react to her rude comments! Pff, why 'should' she care about the others around her, cursing her out? They didn't matter at the moment.
As expected, the older man turned to face the young girl, a most hateful glare being sent from his dark golden eyes to her dark violet ones. She only smiled cruely in response for she had angered the older man.
"Kid, you need to learn your place! Apparently you don't realize who I work for or 'what' I work for and so I suggest that you learn quickly before you get yourself killed one of these days..." he paused for a second, staring even harder at the teenager. She looked quite similar but how?...but he quickly chose to shrug it all off and continue, "Basically, I believe that you need to learn how to respect those who are much older then you. Got it kid?"
"Yeah yeah yeah, I got it." she replied boredly, but she had wanted to bother him some more, "Why should I even bother to respect you? You obviously don't respect me!" she shot back after about a couple of seconds, soon allowing a large smirk to form amongst her face afterwords.
The man only glared darkly at the young girl for he grew quite tired of her being obnoxious!
"Because you're technically only a child so that's why..." then it dawned on him! She had reminded him of his dark master, Marik! 'Nah, it couldn't be! Could it...' he pondered to himself. Afterall, she did look like him in her own way!...the only difference was that she was a girl while he was a boy.
...and their personality's were mostly alike! Maybe she was related to him. Or was it all just a strange coincidence?
'Okay, why is this strange creep looking at me like that?' Terra thought freaking out a bit but then thought maybe they've seen each other somewhere else as in, maybe he had recognized her. 'You would think you'd remember this guy though because that carving on the left side of his face seemed like something that would be quite hard to forget!' Terra thought almost sarcastically yet truthfully all of the same.
Marik's right hand man soon just walked away afterwords deciding to just let it go, for now anyways. He wasn't about to ask who her father was because, just watch, his hypothosis would be wrong on the spot!...but he wasn't going to jump straight into conclusions. Hell no! Marik hated anyone who told him things that were all in the matter of 'i think' or something. It was a foolish act his master believed...
'Why hadn't I just asked her though?' he asked himself calmly. In all truth, he didn't know the answer to this question. All he knew was that he just didn't mention it to her! Or rather ask it...
Odion had soon come to a turn which lead inside a dark alley. He picked up his speed and ran straight threw it, heading towards his master's hideout! Well, actually, his masters' to be more precise on the matter.
Maybe his leader had known about this young girl that he had just recently encountered...
-------------------------------------------------------- --------------------
Terra just paused there staring after him, not finding the words in which to speak. Boy did he throw her off there for a second!
'That was... creepy' she thought with much confusion racing through her mind all at once.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO (not as in hugs & kisses, just a new scene. lol)
Marik remained seated on his golden throne inside of the Rare Hunter's Hideout. He still couldn't come up with a way to destroy his most hated enemy, Yami. His eyes were drooping because he hadn't gotten any sleep either, so this made it all the more harder for him to think.
His thoughts unwillingly changed over to Katie, Yugi's sister. How his thoughts zoomed over to her, he didn't know. They did though so he decided to just remain there for the timebeing.
'Katie, my dear beautiful Katie. She probably doesn't even remember that I even exist in this world anymore! She's probably has forgotten about me already! She'll pay dearly for taking little Yugi's side...' he thought angrily. Oh how he hated her now! She doesn't understand him at all! What he had gone through or anything!
'I changed somehow because of her and now I'll never be the same!...and it's all thanks to her! She's given me a heart and that is the most evilest trick in the entire book! That crazy frickin nutcase! I'll make her wish that she was never even born! It's all over for her...' he thought cold heartedly, laughing with all of his insanity built up afterwords.
Just then Odion walked in rather... hesitantly.
Marik stopped laughing just then and glanced over his right shoulder to spy out his loyal older brother through the corner of his deadly colored eyes.
'Now that's not normal for him to be acting in that type of manner. I wonder what's up...' Marik thought while staring directly at Odion as he passed by the front of his master's dark golden throne nervously.
Odion really didn't understand why he was acting this way himself. This wasn't like him at all and besides, he had nothing to fear! It wasn't like Master Marik would send him to the dreaded Shadow Realm or anything. His other master, known as Malik, wouldn't allow it! Of course, both he and his darkside had absolutely no problems in sending worthless mind slaves into the darkness, but not Odion!...and it was a good thing too! Odion didn't want to just be sent there for doing absolutely nothing...
"Well Odion," demanded Marik, "Why are you acting so strange?"
Odion looked up at his master from underneath his dark violet hood. "Master Marik... I, well you see... it's kind of hard to explain."
"Well try!" Marik's patience was growing very thin and it was happening very fast. 'It must be something pretty major...' he thought continuously.
"You see master..." he stopped then took a deep breath, "I think you have a..." Odion soon trailed off nervously, just knowing how his young leader would react when he heard of the news in which Odion was 'planning' to tell him about the girl, even though he still wasn't exactly sure about his hypothosis.
Marik glared evilly at his loyal servant for his nonstop sense of hesitation. What ever happened to Odion getting to the point?
"Well go on! I don't have all day..." This was irritating him greatly. 'This is getting quite ridiculous...' Marik thought angrily.
"I think you have a... chance! I believe that you have a big chance on discovering how do defeat the pharaoh my master." Odion rushed, quickly throwing those words right out of his mouth as if his tongue would catch on fire if he didn't.
Marik raised an eyebrow. "Is that all?" he asked a bit confused.
"Yes, master. It was..." Odion nodded in reasurrance.
"What? You've wasted up my spare time for that? You're just lucky that Malik won't allow me to send you to the Shadow Realm Odion!...even though that weakling can't really do anything about it though if I do! but let this be a warning to you slave! Now get out!" Marik shouted with much fury contained in his hard spoken voice.
Odion looked down with a tint of sadness in his beautiful golden orbs. It hurt him whenever he was told that he was nothing but a worthless slave! Marik treats him like this all of the time! He never gives him any sense of respect. Maybe since he's a part of Malik's heart, the dark half, then maybe that's what his younger brother truly thinks of him as... worthless!
Yet, Odion refused to believe it! If his life was ever in any sense of danger, Malik would risk his own life for him, just as Odion would do the same. They were brothers and they would remain loyal to each other for the rest of eternity! Though, they did have their disagreements here and there...
Maybe that's what Marik was built off from as well, and maybe that's another reason as to why he hated Odion so much!...because of Malik's negative disagreements with him and as for the most obvious reason of all, Marik couldn't keep his hold on Malik's mind whenever his older brother was around.
"Yes master." He said, bowing back down towards his leader. After a few seconds he then got up once again and walked away, leaving Marik to ponder over his own thoughts on defeating the nameless pharaoh.
-------------------------------------------------------------- ------
Once outside the huge golden doors, Odion heard the sound of footsteps moving at a now slow pace behind him. He turned his whole body around quickly and noticed that it was his other master who was awaiting for his older sibling's arrival.
"What was that all about?" Malik asked curiously. He had heard the whole conversation pretty well but he wanted to know what his brother was really going to tell his coldhearted darkside. (a/n: eavesdropping lately Malik? lol)
"Oh, hello master Malik. It was really nothing..." Odion replied as if there was nothing out of the usual.
Malik raised an eyebrow to this. Was Odion lieing to him? He's never lied! To him atleast...
Odion quickly picked up the fact that his master didn't believe his little white lie at all. Well, it wasn't really little. It was something that was important! Knowing that Malik was going to torment him nonstop with questions about it, he decided to tell him but made him promise not to tell Marik just yet because he wasn't sure if he was correct or not in the first place! Atleast not now anyways...
After Odion had spent his time explaining it to his younger brother, Malik nodded in agreement that it needs to be proven first before anyone jumps to their final conclusions. For now it would be secret! Nobody was to find out about this...
--------------------------------------------------------------- ---
Back in Marik's throne room an idea finally snapped into his head...
"I have got it! Malik, Odion, and I will join in the upcoming tournamant! The pharaoh will surely be there! Like always... and I will finally be the true ruler of this world! Hahahahaha!" he laughed darkly in his room, which echoed throughout every single hall within their dark underground hideout beneath the city, causing every single Rare Hunter to shiver with fear...
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO XO ...love doing that! lol
Terra Ishtar was prepared for this competition. No doubt about it! She'll bring down anyone who dares to step in her path. Nomatter what it takes! She'll take them down. This was going to be the 6th tournamant Kaiba was throwing to beat Yugi Motou! Seto Kaiba has no sense of style when it comes to thinking up names for this thing though... (a/n: or rather I don't. lol)
'Battle City' was a cool idea for a name in the beginning but 'Battle City 2', 'Battle City 3', etc...?
It's seriously getting kind of old...
Another goal, besides winning 1st place, which Terra was determined to figure out during competing, was to find her father. She was finally old enough to join this duel monsters challenge and she wasn't going to give up on what she wanted most! He'll be here. She has a sixth sense about these sort of things. It's not like it always worked, but atleast it worked about half the time. Her father was always looking for a challenge. Atleast that's what her mother had said anyways so...
Terra was going to find him!
