"We're nearly there." Said Odion, as they raced back to the den of the tombkeepers on their steads. The search for Bakura ended in failure, so they returned to the tombs to tell Ishizu the news. Both that, and...the problem.

He simply remained silent for the moment...

He stepped off when they arrived. "She should still be inside." He went down the steps. "Ishizu?" He called out.

"Odion...?" A voice called out... ...as she came into view. "Where have you been...? Have you seen Marik...?"

"...I'm right here, Ishizu." Marik called, as he descended the stairs after Odion.

"Oh, that's good..." She smiled. "What were you doing...? You two left without saying a word..."

"Looking for Bakura. The master says he's here...causing trouble." He crossed his arms.

"B-Bakura...?" She blinked, looking at Marik. "How do you mean...? And how do you know he's here...?"

Marik glanced aside. "...two things. One, there was report of a murder in a town south of here... and second..." He closed his eyes. "...I... had a dream... where he told me that he was close..."

"I... see..." She muttered. "I guess... you couldn't find him...?"

He nodded. "We tried to search for him in the desert town south of here, but there was no luck..."

"...nevertheless... we can't let him run freely about..." Marik murmured, as he glanced back at Ishizu. "...there's no telling what he would do if we just let him do as he pleases..."
|

She nodded. "...agreed. If he's not here, then he must be somewhere else in Egypt. The closest town near ours, maybe..."

"The Oasis town?" He said. "That may be wise. It's quite a tourist attraction...by the way, Ishizu. There is one more thing we have to inform you of..." This next part is going to be awkward.

"Hmm....?" She blinked.

"...right..." Even he was dreading this. "...Ishizu... I-" And all of a sudden, he winced... "...well, about friggin' time! I was waiting for you to mention me at some point!"

She blinked. "....what?!"

Post by kelik on Dec 11, 2012 14:00:24 GMT -5
"...and I was hoping he wouldn't show up as I explain it." He looked over. "Ishizu, Marik's...other side is back. But he seems different."

"What?!" Her eyes widened... Yami Marik had returned... but... "H-How?!" She asked in confusion. "T-The Pharaoh... and you, Marik.... Yami Marik was killed by his own Shadow Game..."

"..." He sighed, putting his hand on his head. "Well, I'm exactly not sure how master gained this other...persona, but perhaps it was from that odd card we found." He looked at Ishizu. "I saw the master hold a black card in his hand, and it was coated in a dark aura."

"....black card...?" She blinked. "What sort of black card...?"

Post by YolkaEd on Dec 11, 2012 14:12:05 GMT -5
"Why, this sort!" And he held up the black card he had gotten from the peddler. "Behold, sis; the instrument of doom that brought me forth from the recesses of my mind!" ...you know, it's not really that dramatic."Oh, come off it; I've been waiting for a reveal like this for-friggin-ever!" Oh, for- get out of the way!"Wait, what the frig are you-" "GAH!" And Marik breathed out a touch. "...I'm never going to get used to that..." ...alright, be that way, binky boy. But maybe you should explain about the Xyz card now?...oh, right... Shaking his head, Marik looked at Ishizu and the black card. "...in any case... this is apparently what's called a Xyz card... I have no idea where it came from, but... it carries an unnatural power to it..."

"Indeed." He agreed. "Though I wasn't in time to see it in action." He took a look at it. "A number? Does this mean there's more than one type of this card?"

"Xyz.... Number... and unusual style on the Level Star..." She muttered, trying to get use to this weird situation.

"And this somehow brought your darker side to life...?" She asked. "But, why is he... different...?"

"Who knows...though to be honest, I'm glad he's not as fearsome as the last time." He said. "...even if he may be just as crazy."

"...at the very least, he doesn't seem hostile..." Marik uttered... ...just as he shifted. "Not hostile?! Are you *EFF*ing kidding me? I'm totally the most evil bad guy around here!" "GAH!" And Marik spontaneously shifted back. "...I need to get him to stop doing that..." And you need to show me some proper *EFF*ing respect! I'm the highest tier of villain, you know!

"I... guess this Yami Marik is lacking the full hatred the previous one had..." She guessed.
