The Battle of the Games: Prologue
Marik Ishtar sat in his Chamber of Command, pondering and planning. Preparations for the Battle City tournament was underway and he was selecting which Rare Hunters were to be placed in Battle City. This was a delicate matter, particularly with the Moto boy and his Pharaoh spirit involved. But if all was played right, it-
"My lord?"
Marik's thoughts were interrupted by a figure standing in the door frame it was Ibn al Ghul, his lieutenant confidant, friend, and more. He had known him for years and of everyone in GURUS, there was no one who had more loyalty to him or that he trusted to the extent where he did not need to use the Millenium Rod.
"What is it, Ibn?"
His lieutenant, normally quiet and pacified, had an aura of excitement about him.
"My Lord, it's been found."
"What?"
"Orthanc"
Marik's eyes widened, his complete attention now focused on the man whose name translated as the Son of the Demon.
"Explain."
Ibn did not speak. He instead presented his master with a newspaper. Marik eagerly took it and perused it.
Tokyo Monthly Historical Bulletin
As our readers knew, excavations began last month in the ruins of the grand old Tokyo Imperial Theater. The theater was the home of the famed Flower Division, an acting group composed of some of Japan's finest female actors. The theater's heydays ended after it was razed during World War II. The government oddly did not repair it and for five decades it has been abandoned in the old distinct, finally collapsing several months ago in a fire. Historical groups are determined to salvage the wreckage and make some attempt to preserve and integral part of Tokyo's history.
Great excitement and mystery have instead greeted the team as they have found a chest buried under rubble that contained a card from the popular Duel Monsters game. The Card is called Orthanc the Omnipotent, but there is more to this card than meets the eye. According to official duelists, is not an official card on game creator Maximillion Pegasus' list of released cards. Yet, thoughts of a possible rare and unreleased card are confounded by the fact that Carbon dating places the card's age at over eighty years old, an amazing fact since Duel Monsters is only a few years old…
Marik finished the remainder of the article and thought for a moment, stroking the surface of the Millenium Rod. Finally, he spoke.
"Could temporal displacement be involved, Ibn?"
"It is possible. After all, the Thoth card was also being tested when *she* intervened. The energies might have sent
If there was one thing Ibn had learned to be careful about mentioning, it was Marik's sister.
"So, what are your orders sir? Shall I dispatch one of the Rare Hunters?"
Marik was silent for a moment. Then he gazed at his lieutenant with absolute seriousness.
"No, I want you to personally investigate this; while I have faith in the Rare Hunters, there is simply too much at stake to entrust a task such as this to them. Besides, if this proves to be a ruse, we'll want out attention refocused on Battle City. I want you to learn how it came to be there in that theater. Acquire it by any means necessary. We must determine if its power is still there and if it can be accessed."
Ibn bowed.
"Yes, Master Ishtar."
