Y/N's POV:

    It felt like days but really, it's only been a couple of minutes. After everything that I found out… It's been difficult, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that I'm technically some test tube baby that my Uncle Seto helped create. Though, that's not the thing that's been tearing at me… It's the fact that Zack hasn't done anything yet… That's what's got me on edge. Back then with my Dads and my Uncle Kura, everything was quick and the problems happened right after another but at this point, it just feels like Zack is doing this on purpose… Making me wait, like it was some kind of joke or a terrible and an awful prank. Gods, this is making me sick to my stomach. Waiting. This really is the calming before the storm, Ra, waiting sucks.

    No matter how much time I think we have left, I know it's actually gonna get cut in half. I don't know how this is all going to end but it could go in so many different directions, I refuse to have anyone get hurt because of this petty drama that involves me though. If it comes down to it though, I'll have to-

    I was cut off from my thoughts when the balcony doors opened, turning to see Akiza walking out. It was night time already and after today's events, you would have thought I would be fast asleep already but nope, too busy stressing out. I smiled at her as she walked towards me, wrapped in a blanket, "You know, I don't get how you're even out here without a blanket, it's cold." She stated as I chuckled, just now realizing that she was right and that my hands and nose felt cold as well as my feet, "Guess I was thinking too much." I joked as she reached me. She rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms around me, wrapping the blanket around me as well to keep me warm. I wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close to me, kissing the crown of her head while I felt her nuzzle against my shoulder, a smile on her lips as we both turned to look out and over Egypt.

    This would have been a nice place to stay if we weren't fighting a war with darkness. Again.

    We eventually pulled away and headed back to my room to get ready for whatever the night might throw at us. We were pretty much gonna call it a night when we felt the palace shaking fiercely so I grabbed Akiza's hand and we ran out towards the front of the palace to see the sky had darkened, making it seem like a bad storm was coming towards us, "So much for some sleep." I mumbled as I glanced over at Akiza while she turned to look at me. Soon, my friends and family joined us outside, hearing them all gasp as they knew what was on its way. "So what now?" Jaden asked as he stood by my side, his own cape flapping behind him because of the sudden rushing wind, "Dunno but we gotta think of something…" I paused and looked off in the darkened distance, "Everything is so much different from our parents stories." I added as I glanced over towards my dads to see them look at each other but then at the rest of the adults in the family. "We gotta think of somethin'." Uncle Joey stated as he huffed and crossed his arms over his chest, "But what can we do? In the past, we had to figure out Atem's name in order to get the upper hand on Zorc but seeing as he knows his name now and he was never imprisoned in the Millennium Puzzle, his name is useless in this situation." Aunt Téa explained as I sighed.

    She was right, what the hell can we use? Let alone do to fight the dark God that was coming.

    "Wait," looking up to see Amara held her chin between her thumb and index finger as she had a 'Thinking' look on her face. "What if this time it's the same but different." She said as I tilted my head slightly, "What do you mean?" I questioned as she turned and met my curious gaze, "What if we still have to find something out about a person but instead of it being you or anyone here, what if we have to help Zack remember who he really is?" She explained as I felt my eyes widen. She could actually be onto something there. "That actually sounds like a good plan and seeing as it's the only one we have at the moment, we have to take it." Jack spoke up from his spot next to Carly and Yusei, "I agree so we gotta split up though." I added, which earned everyone's attention, "Some of us have to stay behind and protect the palace as well as protect the people while holding off Zorc so that the others could try to find Zack." I explained further as everyone began thinking.
