As the dark Ka approached the glittering city ahead, he saw rows upon rows of Ka waiting for him. The lumbering form of Exodia was impressive. Thousands of people were in front of the palace, be they guards, priests, or commoners. The Ka growled in laughter. “That won’t stop me!” He announced. His voice still sounded a bit like evil Bakura._ Atem squared his shoulders, seeing the monster approach them. “Get ready!” He called. The guards rushed about, getting the catapults ready for firing. The last of the city people went inside the palace and the guards closed the doors. The screech of the blue dragon was heard. Atem turned around, seeing a young woman with long blue hair running towards Seto._ Seto caught Kisara in his arms as the she tripped, out of breath. “Kisara! What’s wrong?!” Kisara looked up at him, fearful. “I scouted ahead and that man who kidnapped me is coming for you!” Seto froze. “What? Aknadin? What is he planning now?!” Shouts tore through the air as the ground shook. A deep bellowing roar sounded, and suddenly a part of the city was ablaze. “He’s firing at us! Load the catapults!” Seto stood in front of Kisara, the blue dragon above him. “Fire the catapults....now!” The creaking of wood sounded as flaming stones and spears covered with oil lit on fire were launched towards the beast. They connected but all that was heard was a mocking roar. Then, it spoke. “Your puny defences cannot stop me!” Some strange dragon head was attached to the Ka’s belly, and was firing at the city. (No way am I writing where the dragon head originally was in the sub. O.o) Heat waves rolled off as the blast connected. Seto covered Kisara as debris rained down. The blue dragon screeched before flying off, charging up a blast of fire before shooting it at the Ka. It hit and the monster was forced to kneel in pain. “You’ll regret that!” He roared. Kisara gasped as the monster grabbed the dragon. Seto watched in horror as the evil Ka ripped the dragon in half, the now dismembered dragon turning to stone before landing on the ground heavily. Seto turned to Kisara. She choked out a bunch of blood before collapsing. Seto reached for her, holding her up. “Kisara!” The beautiful woman smiled up at him. “It’s okay Seto. I’m still here...for now...I wanted to help you protect your city...as a way of thanking you for rescuing me.” Seto stared at her. “You’re so...reckless. Why....you had no chance of defeating that horrid thing.” Kisara just shook her head. “I wanted to try anyways.” Seto frowned at her. “That still doesn’t excuse you deciding to take a path of self destruction.” Kisara coughed up more blood as the evil Ka stepped on the stone remains of her blue dragon. Seto stared as the blood on his robes. Kisara’s breathing was slowing down. Seto panicked. “No! Wait!” Kisara glanced up at him. “Seto....I give you the last of my powers.” A blue glow drifted off her and floated into Seto. Soon a light blue aura surrounded his frame. The screech of the blue dragon echoed around him. Seto watched in amazement as the dragon revived, holy light shining off it. Glancing down at the dying woman, he cried softly. Kisara reached up and touched Seto’s cheek. “Now...I can remain in your heart forever. Seto...this isn’t a goodbye...I’ll still be with you...” A sigh escaped her as she exhaled, her chest now still. Seto lowered his head in mourning, tears racing down and landing on the serene face of Kisara. She looked to be at peace. Seto picked her up, heading towards his temple._ Atem was standing off to one side, muttering some words. Three different colored auras were drifting off him. Yellow. Blue. Red. But the auras were faint. They flickered, unable to fully form._ Isis gasped, as she knelt where she was, covered in scrapes and bruises. Some of her Ka had been defeated and she was feeling the effects. Her Millennium Tauk flashed. A vision was shown of Atem failing to summon the three Gods whose names were unknown. “What does this mean?” She asked herself. Shimon stood beside Exodia, looking fierce and ready to go. He glanced back at Shada who was behind him. “Okay! Use your Ka and distract him! Then I’ll go in with Exodia!” Shada nodded. Shimon tossed him the Millennium Key he had used to summon Exodia. Shada spread his arms. “Two-Headed Jackal Warrior! Come forth!” A snarl sounded before a blur dashed towards Shada, stopping beside him. The Ka was very canine in appearance. His two heads snarled and snapped. Tough gold armor covered his chest. His two arms grasped a double sided axe. Shada pointed towards the monster assaulting them. “Distract him as much as possible! High Priest Shimon needs time!” Shada rushed off, his Ka following behind._ Meanwhile, a certain traitor had snuck in the city under the cover of carnage and destruction around him. He was heading towards a certain temple. One of his eyes flashed and he smirked. “I’m coming for you Seto! I will make you realize that my plan to make you King is absolute!”
