Somewhere in Egypt, nearly covered by the desert dunes cloaked by the night sky, one would find a certain tomb. Residing within this tomb were those who kept it, for the spirit of the Pharaoh long since passed was said to reside here... ...but one tombkeeper knew better.  Since his defeat in Battle City, and the subsequent parting of the Millennium Rod, Marik Ishtar had returned to the tomb he had once yearned to escape from, in order to train for his responsibility as the heir to this duty. That being said, currently, he was the only one down there; a self-imposed trial to repent for the misdeeds he had caused. Right now, though, as was custom during this late hour, slumber took him, and he slept... but a pleasant sleep, it was not. For in this sleep, he dreamt; dreamt of the many who had suffered and been tormented; the souls he had torn asunder, the lives he had claimed...  ...how absolutely out of control things had gotten, because of his other half that manifested itself... were it not for them... He grit his teeth in his slumber. There didn't seem to be anything else that could make it worse... [tag=kelik for whenever it's gonna get worse] |

 "Hmhmhmhm..." A familiar laugh echoed through his dreams. Uh oh... |

His eyes shot wide open... um... in the dream, that is. He didn't wake up, if that's what you think. "...you...?!" |

"Yes..."  "Me." He chuckled again. "What? You seem unhappy to see me. We were friends, right?" |

His eyes narrowed. "Things change." he uttered. "...how are you even here? I don't have the Rod... and last I checked, my... other half wiped you out..." |

" Tsk tsk, ooh Marik. I thought you would have known I can't stay gone forever..." He turned. " You forget that I was sealed by his hand as well, and when Yugi defeated him and freed the captured souls, I was among them." |

"...hm." His eyes narrowed; in the madness of Battle City, he had forgotten. "...so, how are you able to speak to me, considering that the Millennium Rod is no longer in my possession?"

He grinned wide. " Hm, I do wonder...perhaps my Millenium Ring has more power than even you imagined...or perhaps it has something to do with my new found power." |

His eyes widened. "...what... power?" All he really knew about the wicked Bakura was that he sought the Millennium Items, and apparently he had the Ring and the Eye... but he had more power than even those items could offer? |

" It's a card, believe it or not...but it offers such magnificent powers...." He held out his hand, as a card appeared in it. The card seemed to carry a dark aura around it. " It's quite different from the Millennium Items, but I can tell this has potential..." He chuckled to himself again. |

He seemed worried by this. "...I see..." Thankfully, the destruction his alter ego would keep him from being tempted by any sort of power like this... but this just made him curious. What manner of card could hold that much power, apart from the Egyptian Gods? "...moving on... why are you here, in my dream?" |

He rose his hand as the card vanished. " Ah, yes...well, I just wanted to pop in for a few moments before I'm off doing my usual evil deeds..." He half joked. " After all, you must be dreadfully bored down here in these catacombs...rotting away along with your family." He grinned. |

His eyes narrowed, and he clenched his hands. "...you will hold your tongue, Bakura." he uttered; after everything he had gone through, he had no intention of letting insults such as these pass him by. |

He laughed. " Oh calm down, I'm just having fun..." He looked back at him. " Things have been so dreadfully boring in Domino that I had to leave for some time...can you blame me?" Bakura's plans which takes him 5 seasons to come to fruition... were taking their time after all. |

He simply narrowed his eyes. "...that would explain why you decided to invade my dream..." He figured there was little point in inquiring into Bakura's plans and schemes; after all, he only knew that he needed the Millennium Items... "...so... what's with that black card of yours? Where did you get it from?" |

" Oh, this?" He made it reappear in his hand. " It's a funny story, actually. I came across this fool who tried to rob a vendor out in the bazaar. He crossed paths with me and suddenly took a turn for the worst...it turns out this card was controlling his actions." He smirked. " But it's a shame he won't be escaping the Shadow Realm to tell that tale." |

"...please don't mention that place near me..." Marik murmured, as he tilted his head a touch. "...but a card controlling someone's actions...? What manner of card is it?"

" I'm not quite sure." He looked it over. " It's black and it has it's stars on the opposite side of where it's level is supposed to be. It says something about "XYZ materials" in it's description...I've never seen a card like this, I must say. But it is interesting." He turned. " And I've a feeling this is not the only one of it's kind..." |

"...you don't say..." Marik remarked, as he tried to get a better view of the card.

The card was indeed an XYZ Monster, but Marik wouldn't know of it of course. As for the picture, well...it was fairly demonic in it's appearance... He let the card vanish before he could see the rest. " Curious, are you? Not that I blame you...I have yet to play this card myself or finish it's design lol, so I'm not sure what it's full potential is in battle." |

He simply narrowed his eyes. "...I had a feeling..." he remarked. "...I suppose I was wondering how a lone card could have such power, when it's not an Egyptian God." |

" I am too. But quite frankly, I don't care right now." He smirked. " I've got some plans for a fun time during my vacation, Marik..." |

"...plans?" Marik didn't seem too fond of that idea. "What... plans?"

" Hm? Oh, nothing special, I assure you..." He grinned wickedly and walked off. " But if you're REALLY curious, why not come find me and ask in person?" |

Post by YolkaEd on Nov 23, 2012 20:36:53 GMT -5
Marik's eyes widened. "...wha... just where are you hiding?!" he yelled after Bakura. |

" Where indeed..." He chuckled as he slowly vanished. "You'll know soon enough, I assure you..." |

"...you... you...!" He closed his eyes in frustration; angered that someone as dangerous as that would do something henious... ... ...and in that instant, his eyes opened, and he found himself in his own room once more. He had grown accustomed to sleeping in the tomb after Battle City, especially in preparation for his duties... ...but that dream... it wasn't just a dream... it was a premonition of things to come. Both Bakura... and that card... ...hn...

There was a knock on his door. "Master Marik. Is everything alright?" Said a familiar voice.

His eyes trailed towards the door. "...Odion..." he uttered, before he rubbed his neck ever so softly. "...everything's fine... just a bad dream..." he murmured, as he slowly got out of bed. |

 "A bad dream?" He asked. "I certainly hope it's just that then..." |
