Y/N's POV;

    Once Calvin, Akiza, and I reached the Palace gates, we saw guards helping people to evacuate the area and back towards the Palace in case things went south. Aurora spotted us and jogged over towards us, "My Pharaoh, are you sure that you shouldn't be with your fathers?" She asked but I just smiled and nodded, "Of course, what kind of Pharaoh would I be if I let my people suffer for me when I could fight." I explained as she sighed but nodded, "You sure have grown from the little girl I used to watch run around her Uncles garden." She smiled as I chuckled. I have no idea what she's talking about but at the same time, I kinda did. It's as if I lived two different lives. "Let's get this over with." I told her as she nodded and turned to look at her men, "Open the gates for the Pharaoh!" She called out as the guards nodded and did what they were told while Calvin, Akiza, and I began walking closer to the gates that were opening slowly.

    Once the gates were opened enough for the three of us, we walked through the opening and stood at the entrance to see Zack sitting proudly on a black horse while fifty or so dark soldiers sat on horses as well just a few feet behind Zack. "Well well well, how is the high life treating you, Pharaoh?" Zack asked but he spat out my title, seeing Calvin rest his hand on the hilt of his sword that was strapped to his hip and glared at Zack but I quickly lifted my hand and stopped him from charging at Zack, "Calm down, Calv, he just wants a raise out of us. Remember, I'm not really the Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, this is just his sick game to get back at me." I told my best friend, who huffed but nodded and I turned to look at Zack again but this time he was glaring at me. "I'm guessing your old men and family told you about the rules of this game?" Zack stated as he got off of his horse and stood next to it while I watched him closely, "More or less but it was my Great Grandfather who told me about this new game of yours." I started, seeing shock come over his face once I brought up Solomon before he scowled, "But I guess you already knew that since this is your sick game."

    I smirked once I saw the look on his face before he scoffed and chuckled, "Well, nothing could stop Zorc's resurrection, not even the appearance of your dead Great Grandfather. The fight has only just begun." Zack said as he stood in front of his horse, a few feet away from me as he revealed his left arm to show some kind of old golden Duel Disk, like the one on my arm. I growled and stepped forward, activating my own Golden Duel Disk but waited to see who would make the first, then I heard him chuckle which made me flinch slightly and grit my teeth together as I glared at the Pink and Red haired boy in front of me.

    "We can't battle." Zack sighed as I huffed, seeing his dull Gray eyes meet my Y/EC ones, "Yet." Seeing his smirk return while I continued to glare at him. "In due time though, Pharaoh." Watching as he got back onto his horse and turned it to the side but turned to look at me one late last time, "Enjoy the short time you still have with your loved ones. You won't be around for much longer since Zorc is coming." He said before laughing and took off riding his horse while his dark army followed. That fucker. "What does he mean by that?" Akiza asked, turning my gaze to look at her while Calvin stepped closer to us, "Nothing-" "Y/N." Calvin said sternly as I sighed, "You're gonna have to tell her." He added as Akiza looked at me with a worried look, "Kiza-" "Just tell me." She interrupted me as I sighed again, "Please?" She added, a pleading look on her face while I felt my heart drop.

    "Five thousand years ago- well, during this time but when my Dad was the Pharaoh and when he was eighteen. He went head to head with Zorc along with my Uncles Bakura and Malik as well as Seto's past self and my Great Grandpa's past self." I started as I avoided her gaze but then forced myself to look at her. I had to, it was the right thing to do. "It didn't end well. Bakura, Malik, and my Dad died in the battle but with the little life they had left, they managed to beat Zorc with the Millennium items but they all had to forget something so that Zorc couldn't come back." Sighing and scratching the back of my neck a little, "They all lost their memories and themselves but seeing as Bakura made a deal with Zorc, the demon used it to get Bakura on his side once again and since my Uncle couldn't remember anything, he trusted him." Seeing Akiza staring at me slightly confused before I sighed once again, deciding just to tell her straight out.
