It Was Fate (Part 1)

DIMENSION: ANIME (The One That Pays to Save the Day)

Téa briefly appeared a little. She looked terrible though, like she was bearing some kind of pressure in front of her.

"Communicating brings them closer, but it puts them in more pain," Bastet warned him. "It's best not to push too far. They are the pair close to the surface of Zorc."

"Téa." Yugi reached out to her form. She just cried as she looked at him. She moved her mouth, but he couldn't hear her. "It's okay, get back, we are going to get you out soon," Yugi assured her as she disappeared.

"You have to hang on," Atem said toward Masika. "Please, if you can hear me, just hang on. We will get this treacherous thing done, but you have to put everything into staying as much as possible."

Masika seemed to look toward him. Maybe? Her directions changed how she looked.

"It hurts worse to stay so close," Yugi told Atem. "They need to go."

"To leave puts them more at risk," Atem fired right back at him. "Life, to live, is going to be painful."

"Just get the millennium items made and appease Isis," Bastet said. "They cannot straddle for long, no one can survive that."

Masika looked like she was moving closer. She was saying something. Chanting maybe?

Bastet held out some cards to Atem. "No need to chant. Call them out like you are playing duel monsters, and let them claim their prey." Bastet looked toward Masika. "Move back more. Stay alongside Téa, your Pharaoh can do this."

Masika bowed, still in pain, and walked backward until she disappeared.

"Let's just hurry," Yugi said. "Let's just get this over with so we can save them."

Atem called out for the Red Eyes Black Dragon card on the top of the deck, just like he would call out any other duel card. He watched as the dragon came from the card and blew fire through the entranceway into the building. Several sounds of people in torturous pain was heard, as well as several strange chimes.

"Good, another ten. That is 25," Bastet congratulated her. "Nice job for a spirit turned man."

"If that's all it takes, I can do far better," Bandit King complained. He picked up his own ring, and a deck he had already been carrying. He summoned his own monster card while he easily missed a bullet. "These people have the worst aim."

"They all had God's Brew," Bastet smiled. "Your welcome. Go slaughter them please."

"Can I help?" Sekhmet wagged her tail toward Bastet. "I won't use any magic, just my teeth and my own claws. Please?"

Bastet was unconvinced. "Sekhmet you take permission to the extreme. We talked about this." She looked toward them. "Last time Sekhmet tore and killed humans with her own might and not magic? She sort of, almost wiped out the entire race of humans."

"I can keep it together . . . ." Her voice trembled, but her mouth was salivating. "Atem doesn't want to do the dirty work. Without Kaiba, they can't get 99 in time, I can help. I can? I can really help? Please? Please? Please? There's a lot more humans this time, I can't carve out a billion. Oh, there's more than a billion now. Please?" She looked toward the entrance and sniffed. "They are marinated in God's Brew!"

"No, Sekhmet, you!" Bastet called her out, but she bounded off.

"Just the ones marinating, I promise!"

"Sekhmet, get back here!" Bastet scolded her. "Sekhmet, so help me, if I have to waste more magic just to bring you back here." Sounds of tearing, cracking, roaring, and screaming were heard. She groaned and wasted her own magic bringing Sekhmet back. "Naughty."

Sekhmet was deliriously happy, licking on a new arm. She was covered in blood and the definite insides of humans. It made each of them nauseous looking at her.

"That should hold her over if she keeps licking that like a sucker," Bastet said to them. "You don't have much time. I did the other work for the last millennium items we needed. I don't have enough in me to do more, and I do not attack physically. Sekhmet is and was a part of me. I do not want to end up like that, so I can't risk it. Do you see now? You do not have much time. I cannot keep her back again. Kill everyone with God's Brew in them and do it now."

///Atem: That is the reason, Yuugi, they always needed us to do it. Bastet is afraid Sekhmet will try to wipe out mankind again. Even her own sister barely stopped her.///

"I just need 25 more," Sekhmet said as she stopped licking. "I can help the humans divide the pieces up to go into our gold solution."

25? "They are surrounding this place." Atem moved forward with the millennium puzzle and his cards. It took a bit to get back into the area Sekhmet hadn't struck. They diverged another way until they could hear the enemy.

Bandit King left his own way.
