Ten - The Dark Force Manifests

Meanwhile within the ghost zone the dark force had feed on enough ghost powers and essence to finally take on its physical form. His body underwent the transformation revealing a young man with Egyptian colored skin. His medium length hair was actually black fire. His eyes were completely blood red with no visible irises and/or pupils. He wore regal Egyptian robes around his waist as his upper body was bear. Two large black demonic wings had ripped out from his back along with a long demonic tail complete with a large bone scythe at the end. Small bone spikes had ripped out of his elbows, shoulders, and knees. His feet and hands didn't appear to be human as they were large claws. The dark force proceeded to stretch out all of his muscles relieving his stiff muscles.

"Finally at long last I have managed to get my body back. It has been a very long millenia since I had a physical form." the dark force stated to himself before he used his powers to create three other bodies that greatly resembled three people that Atemu had banished to the shadow realm. The first looked very similar in nature and form to Seto Kaiba as this was actually once the dark part that used to exist within Seto. The second looked very similar in nature and form to Bakura Ryou. This was actually the dark spirit that had once possessed Bakura also known as Yami Bakura. The third looked very similar in nature and form to Merik Ishtar. This was actually the dark spirit that had once possessed Merik also known Yami Merik. The three went down onto their knees before their lord and master.

"Hail Lord Sekhmet!" the three stated in unison. Sekhmet was once known as the Egyptian god of destruction when he was alive back in Egypt. Long time ago Sekhmet had battled against Atemu trying to gain the young pharaoh powers. Unfortunately for him Atemu had not only defeated the dark god but he had also destroyed his body thanks to the power of the god tables combined (the god cards Slifer the sky dragon, wing dragon of Ra, and Oblisk the tormentor). For countless years and centuries Sekhmet has been trying to regain his former powers and body. While within the shadow realm Sekhmet came across Dark Seto, Yami Bakura, and Yami Merik as he had put the three to work for him since all three had a connection and run in with Atemu. By resurrecting the three them he insured that he at least had loyal followers to work for him.

"Rise my loyal servants. After a long deliberation, I have decided to change your names and appearances so that you will no longer have any ties to your human counterparts." The three men rose to their feet earning a fanged smile from Sekhmet. First Sekhmet turned to Dark Seto. Sekhmet laid his hands onto Dark Seto as his brown hair turned pitch black. Dark Seto's eyes turned from a sapphire blue to an emerald green. His pale Caucasian skin had a light tan look to it. He wore Seto's familiar clothing but the colors were different. He wore a white short sleeve shirt, a long black trench coat, and blue jean pants. "From now on you will be known as Darkaiba (dark Kaiba combined)." he told him. Sekhmet then turned towards Yami Bakura as he laid his hands on him. Much like what happened to Darkaiba, Yami Bakura's coloring changed. His skin wasn't as pale as his human counter part. His long, wild, and spiky white hair became a light color gray. His dark brown eyes become golden brown color. The markings that usually appeared around Bakura's eyes when Yami Bakura took control could be visibly seen. Bakura's blue and white striped shirt had become red and white striped. His blue jean pants had now become black as he wore the millennium ring although the color was silver as it wasn't the true millennium ring since it was sealed within Atemu's pyramid. "From now on you will be known as Kuroryou (kuro translates from Japanese as black and Ryou combined)." stated Sekhmet before he turned towards Yami Merik. Once again Sekhmet placed his hands onto Yami Merik causing his form to change. Yami Merik's skin color matched Sekhmet's own. His long, wild, and spiky light blond hair got a bit darker in color as it was a light golden blond. His dark purple eyes turned to a sapphire blue color. His shirt became a ghost white color as he wore blue-green pants. His bands around his arms and wrists were silver as he wore silver ankh earrings. He held onto a millennium rod which was silver in color as it wasn't the true millennium rod as it was also sealed within Atemu's pyramid. "From now on you will be known as Malrik." That is when Sekhmet had sensed that they were not alone. "Come on out, I know that you are there." Sekhmet had called out. Plasmius came out of hiding smiling an evil grin.

"So you are the one that I have been sensing. You certainly have quite an array of powers." stated Plasmius. The three that had been summoned forth stood before Sekhmet as playing cards were in their hands.

"Hold back you three. It seems that this one has a power quite similar to the one that we are after."

"So it seems that we have a very common enemy. Of course I am talking about the young mister Daniel Fenton also known as Danny Phantom."

"And you are?" asked Malrik in a low dark snarl.

"I always forget to introduce myself. I am Vlad Masters but you may call me Plasmius." replied Plasmius.

"So you know the half ghost child Phantom. I have to admit that you are quite powerful but you have barely scratched the surface of what you are capable of." stated Sekhmet.

"I have to admit that after seeing some of your powers, I am quite impressed." stated Plasmius.

"How would you like to join me Plasmius? I could use someone of your talents who knows about our other target." stated Sekhmet.

"Is that truly wise Lord Sekhmet?" asked Darkaiba.

"Do not dare question my orders Darkaiba." snarled Sekhmet. Darkaiba begged for forgiveness fearing what Sekhmet would do to him. "If you wish Plasmius, I can alter your powers to make you stronger in order to exact your revenge on Phantom. But I need him and Atemu alive in order for me to gain their powers."

"Atemu?"

"Atemu is the name of a five thousand year old pharaoh who had banished us to the shadow realm after defeating us in battle. We have sworn our revenge on him." stated Kuroryou.

"I see. Then perhaps I will take you up on your offer Sekhmet." stated Plasmius.

"I have to warn Plasmius, I will not tolerate failure." stated Sekhmet as he placed his hands onto Plasmius transferring his power into the half ghost. Vlad could feel Sekhmet's godly powers flowing into him. The powers didn't alter his appearance but it did increase his powers making him much stronger. After the transfer was complete, Sekhmet turned towards his new allies smiling. "Now tell me how the world has changed since I was last alive ten thousand years ago!" stated Sekhmet.
