Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Passion, The Pain, The Lust Part II ❯ Return to Kuruelna ( Chapter 35 )

Inside the Conference room...

The Pharaoh has just informed the Priest and Priestesses about Shimon's journal. Some still didn't believe the story and others were afraid of the end.

"So basically we have to kill Queen Nikita before she tries and takes our items." Priestess Nenya said.

"Exactly. We all will be waiting at the entrance of the village until she arrives and we will place half of our troops with us ad the other half in the village. No one is allowed to come out when the sun sets. Send messengers out to warn the other villages especially Ashta." the Pharaoh said.

"But its like you said before we don't know what Queen Nikita is capable of right?" Priestess Mana said.

"Yes?" the Pharaoh said.

"So what if we have to summon those monsters then what?" Priestess Mana.

"Then just remember that I love you all and I will always remember you wherever fate takes me...." the Pharaoh said.

"Kimora......" Priestess Ishizu said.

The Pharaoh prepared to leave but Priestess Mana embraced her with tears in her eyes.

"Does this mean I'll never see you again if we have to call out those monsters?" Priestess Mana sobbed.

"Oh Mana...." the Pharaoh said.

"Kimora kissed her on the forehead and walked away and Priestess Mana fell to the floor crying as the others helped her up.

On the Balcony...

The Pharaoh stood there as she watched the sun go down thinking about the end. She knew Queen Nikita was powerful and that they might have to result to using those creatures and if they did she knew that the outcome wouldn't be good at all.

"Your Majesty?" Priestess Ishizu said.

"Yes, I know. Queen Nikita is probably on her way with the troops now so we should get in place."

The Pharaoh walked by solemnly sighing. Priestess Ishizu just looked at her afraid to say something. She knew her thoughts were else where.

At the entrance of the Village...

They all rode out the Palace gates on horses headed to the head of the village and waited for Queen Nikita. It was dead silent for a moment and then the rapid pounding footsteps of the troops in the distance was head. Everyone summoned their Ka's and waited.

"Everyone.... I want us to move in now."

"Why?" Priestess Ashila asked.

"Because I don't want any of these scoundrels to slip into the village and start a ruckus. If we fight them out in the open then our village should be safe."

"Good point. Now let us make haste." Priestess Shadah said.

They all rode towards Queen Nikita's troops but their Ka's flew or ran ahead of them and wasted no time attacking. Flashing lights of all colors, sizes, and angles struck swiftly destroying multiple enemies at a time. This caused the troops great shock as they were clueless as to who it was but they all had an idea of who it could be. They rarely got a chance to attack as their army declined rapidly some managed to retreat but others kept fighting until their deaths.

"RETREAT!!!"

One soldier yelled and Queen Nikita's troops began to run away.

"Let's follow them!!!" the Pharaoh shouted.

"But are we ready to fight Queen Nikita now?" Priestess Nenya said worryingly.

"I don't know...but I just want to see where she is hiding out for future reference." the Pharaoh said.

"Then we shouldn't all pile in at once some of us should go and some of us should return to the Palace to make sure everything is safe." Priest Ironheart said.

"Mana, Ishizu, and myself will go ahead and I want the rest of you to return to the village?" the Pharaoh said.

"Are you sure Kimora...I mean my Pharaoh?" Priestess Ashila said.

"Yes, if by chance we get caught we have a better chance of escaping because we've got plenty of power. Don't worry I'll be fine." the Pharaoh assured them,

"Very well then. Let us return." Priest Shadah said.

They had begun to go their separate ways as Priestess Nenya stopped and looked back at the Pharaoh and then kept going.

The Pharaoh and her Priestesses followed closely behind the troops as they entered Kuruelna. The Pharaoh stopped suddenly looking around, closing her eyes and listening to the screams, yells, cries, and blasts from when they fought Bakura. She covered her ears and began shaking her head and not long after she fell off her horse. Priestess Ishizu and Priestess Mana rushed over to her and helped her off her feet.

"What's wrong Kimora?" Priestess Mana said.

"It's this place..." the Pharaoh said panting heavily.

"What about it?" Priestess Mana said.

"Are you alright Kimora?" Priestess Ishizu said putting her hand on her shoulder.

"Yes, I'll be fine....." the Pharaoh sighed.

"What are you talking about Ishizu?" Priestess Mana questioned annoyingly.

"Our battle with Bakura." Priestess Ishizu said.

"Oh..." Priestess Mana looked around and then stared at Kimora.

"Kimora are you sure you're up to this? We can just turn around right now if you don't want to continue." Priestess Ishizu said because she really didn't want to go back into the village again.

"No I'm fine. Let's just go. I didn't come all the way here to turn around and go home." the Pharaoh said regaining some of her confidence.

"Good, then let's keep moving there already ahead of us." Priestess Ishizu said covering up her feelings about not wanting to go further in.

The Pharaoh and her Priestesses rode between old buildings and sloppy mud houses to avoid being seen. The troops finally came to this large old worn down building and as they saw the gates open up it looked much cleaner with an evil touch.

"So that's where Nikita's been hiding out all along." Priestess Mana said.

"Who knows what could be lurking around in that hideous asylum?" Priestess Ishizu said disgustedly.

"Should we go check it out?" Priestess Mana said ready to rush in.

"No, its too many guards out front." the Pharaoh said cautiously watching the guards.

"But we can escape easily. What chance do they have against the three God's and Diabound?" Priestess Mana said fearlessly.

"True but..." the Pharaoh said with an uneasy feeling.

"Well she does have a point there. Let Mana and I go check it out and you stand guard over here." Priestess Ishizu said bravely.

"No, if we do something we do it together unless I say otherwise." the Pharaoh said.

"Okay then let's go." Priestess Ishizu said.

They got off their horses and crept silently over to the Palace. Priestess Ishizu sent her Ka out to go inside the Palace and gather information. As they waited outside they saw a man run out, say something to another guard, and then they all left their positions and ran inside.

"What's going on?" Priestess Mana's eyes rushed from side to side watching the guards pile into the Palace.

"I don't know but we should move in closer?" the Pharaoh said.

"But what if there still some guards around?" Priestess Mana said still watching the last few guards enter the Palace.

"Then we'll just have to take our chances now come on." the Pharaoh said boldly.

They moved in closer until they were in bird's eye view of the Palace.

"That is the ugliest Palace I have ever seen." Priestess Mana said

"I've seen worse." the Pharaoh said.

Priestess Ishizu closed her eyes and her Millennium necklace began to glow.

"My Ka...." Priestess Ishizu opened her eyes and gasped.

"What is it Ishizu?" the others shouted.

"They found her!!! They know we're out here." Priestess Ishizu cried.

"Dammit...I want you all to go back to the Palace and warn the others." the Pharaoh said.

"No...not this time Kimora. You're not talking us out of leaving you here by yourself to fight these bastards. We're in together or together we'll fall." Priestess Ishizu said.

"Okay then let's go..." the Pharaoh said.

They got back on their horses and stood in front of Queen Nikita's Palace. Queen Nikita looked out and saw them and smiled with confidence.

"They're here..." Queen Nikita whispered followed by loud echoing laughter.
