Serves that bastard right for trying to steal his Milennium Ring! NO ONE touches his Milennium Ring! ...except Ishizu, he'll probably even let her touch his Rod... and I aint talking about the Milennium one!
However even after taking Kaiba's body yet again, silencing that doctor/assassin and disposing of the body via cramming his carcass in one of those empty morgue lockers... Yami Bakura still felt uneasy. He just couldnt quite put his finger on it! As if... he was missing something.

It all came down to that Ring of his. For some reason, there was no longer any power dark mythic force generating from it! He could feel no darkish aura coming from it. It seemed like just a regular bigass charm that chimes when the wind blows near it.

"Something's wrong," Yami Bakura said to himself, "Why isnt my Ring reacting?" He started to shake it a little, "C'mon dammit! FLOURISH!!" ...after a bit of shaking, the Ring finally responds... by pointing to someone..

A mysterious figure in a thick black hood carrying a scythe... this person steps up to 'Seto' and smiles... It spoke in a feminine tone: "...How's it hanging, Ya-ba?"
YA-BA?! One of the Ring spirit's most hated nicknames! "God damn you... you KNOW how I hate that nickname!! Sigh... what do you want now, She-Death?"

Yes.. the female Grim Reaper with aqua blue hair and jade green eyes. But what is SHE doing with someone like Evil Bakura?
"Oh just dropping by to say hi," she smiles sweetly, "also to cash out on someone's murder! Thanks a lot!"

He just turns his head, "It was an assassin. I think someone's got suspicious of our motives!"
The girl reaper just shrugs, "Meh! Not to worry, Ya-ba! It's not anyone can do much at this point. You'd be suprised how STUPID the higher-ups really are."

"Uh...speaking of which," Ya-Ba interupts, "how could God herself not even suspect her great conductor of the death to actually be working for the revival of the Evil One?"
That just causes her to chuckle a bit, "HEH! Oh c'mon! A friggin Armaggedon can zip right past her field of vision whenever she's watching Joey Wheeler taking a shower!"

She then reaches under her cloak and pulls out an hourglass, "OH! That reminds me, your girlfriend Lady He-uh I mean Ishizu wants you to meet with her at the Pier before the Battle City Tournament starts!"

"FOR THE LAST DAMN TIME, ISHIZU IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!!"
"Whatever! See you soon, Ya-Ba!" In a blinding ray of light, she disappears.
A few seconds later, Ya-Ba sighs hard and mutters under his breath, "...Hera is."

He stared at the Ring for about an hour... thinking about HER... the lovely times they spent together... the good times... the GREAT times...

-------------------------
Ancient Egypt, bitches...
-------------------------

The young dark-skinned rebelleous king of thieves with flowing white hair and scar across his cheek (Yami Bakura) rode on horseback along with his fellow dark riders to the Great Temple where the High Priest had escaped his fate!

"YAH!!" he signaled his horse and fellow riders to stop.. and they waited... waited for someone to step out of the temple...
Someone walked out of the darkened inside limping as they walked... a woman... a lovely light-skinned woman with long black hair wrapped in a ponytail by a shiny gold hairband, reddish eyes almost demonic-like, wearing a thick elegant black dress with lovely jade jewels encrusted in it and bright golden bands over the tattooish markings on her exposed arms...

"Hera!" the leader of the riders rushed to her aide, "Are you allright, my lady?" He noticed her gripping her side... strange teeth-marks were shown on her dress! Almost as if she was bitten...

"It's... it's nothing, Zorc'amon. I am fine," Hera stopped gripping her side and looked him and pointed, "Oh... look, Zorc'amon! It seems we're just in time to watch the great miracle arising in Egypt!"

They stared in wonder at the glorious sight... an Egyptian in flames in the distance and a gigantic tree shaped like a humongous hand growing in the middle of it.. each 'finger' twitched in a rythmic pattern and thousands of people screaming in horror could be heard for miles. Hera and Zorc watched as branches ripped from the gigantic 'Hand' and started entangling the tiny people and quickly absorbing them into it! Black clouds were forming around the 'Hand' as crazed Duel Monsters swarmed the destructed city looking for 'food'....

"It's so beautiful, isnt it, Zorc'amon?" Hera smiled at the sight.
"It is indeed," Zorc'amon replied.. then looked into Hera's eyes, "But nowhere near as beautiful as the adoring sight before me!"
Hera looked back into his eyes and smiled... they each blushed... Black hearts were forming around them! It was gothic love at first sight!

Finally, Zorc'amon extended his hand and said, "...Shall we dance, my dear?"
Hera took his hand, "I would be delighted!"

Awww...not even Disney could have captured such a lovely scene! All that was missing was some music to set the mood. ...Wait a minute! Could it be...?!! IT IS! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: ELTON JOHN!!

"Caaaaaan you feel the looooovvee tonight? It is wheeeeeere we are....."

Tears were dropping out of Seto's eye sockets as Ya-Ba recalled possibly the greatest moment of his life. The end of the world AND the end of his celibacy all rolled into one!

However as touching as this was, he failed to notice the time! It was only a matter of time until Battle City officially started and he still needed to meet up with Ishizu for the next stage of the master plan!

...is he gonna snap out of it anytime soon?!
