Outside the Village

[Cold Chaos]

Near the village of sand a man by the name of Marik was resting in the sand. He awoke with a shudder.

"What!!...Where am I. I thought I was with the Pharoh and his keeper as they were about to start thier duel."

He sat their scratching his head wondering what happend.

"Am I outside of the tomb? If so then what was that light I saw in the Pharoh's tomb?"

He ponderd till he looked like his head was about to explode.

"NOTHING MAKES SENSE!!!!!!!!"

He sighed and tolled himself

"I might as well move forward. Maybe someone will tell me were I am and why. I also need to find the Pharoh and his host or Ishizu will kill me."

[Cold Chaos]

After hours of wondering with no food or water Marik was about to faint with exhaustion. when all hope seemed lost he stared into the distance to find a large stone building surrounded by brick wall. Marik wondered

"Maybe whoever lives their can help me with my predicament"

Soon Marik was confronted by two ninjas and they said pointing their katanas at him

"Welcome to Sunagakure the village hidden in the sand. State your name and business stranger."

Marik Raised his hands to show peace and replied

"My name is Marik Ishtar I am.. er was accompanied by the great pharaoh Atem and require the services of your master... um. Please"

The shinobi only looked puzzled as one said to the other

"Do you think we should take him to see one of the sand siblings."

As they talked they had no idea that Marik had already snuck into the village.

[Cold Chaos]

After Marik snuck into the city he was amazed at how similar this place was to the Egyptian Bazaar he went to as a child. Soon after he came across three shady looking men eying him from top to bottom. Marik soon came to an ally where the three men blocked his exit.

"May I help you." he said

"Yes" the biggest of the three sayed "You look foreign, one who has never been here before maybe you could use a tour guide... for a price."

Marik sayed sternly

"I'm sure i can find my way just fine"

The leader of this gang only said

"I may take your turn down but I will not leave empty handed"

In a puff of smoke the other two gang members grabbed Mariks arms as the leader slowly moved to wards him cracking his knuckles. and he said

"So...are we taking your riches the easy way... or the fun way?"

Marik only yelled in anger

"I don't have any money."

the gang leader slapped him across the face and said

"So it's the fun way eh?"

Marik's sweat made him slippery enough to break free from the gang leaders henchmen and he tried to run off but the gang leader blocked him off. Marik could feel all his anger and hate to wards this gang welling up in his fist as it burst into a white flame, the gang was shocked pointing and shouting "he's a ninja?", but Marik didn't care he glared at the gang leader and shouted

"LEAVE...ME...ALONE."

and with a full on punch to the head the gang leader fell. Blood dripping out his nose, eyes white from unconsciousness, and swelling from the mighty blow. Marik breathed heavily knowing he never had to fight like that but felt good at the same time for winning against such a big opponent.However his victory was short lived as the gang leader got back up, but more dazed, almost zombie like, as a gold eye appeared on his fore head as he said kindly

"What is your wish...master Marik"

Marik gasped he knew all to well about this power but confused as to how it happened.

He looked tariffed remembering all the things he did with that power and how it took his most prized possessions.

"NO" he said with doubt "I don't have the Millennium Rod any more. I don't control anyone any more. So why can I control minds again? Someone please tell me what happened."

Then two Sunagakure Jonin warped to Marik, the other gang members also warped away. One of the Shinobi sayed

"Follow them and arrest them for attempted theft and assault."

He turned to the confused and scared Marik as he let out his hand and with a warm beaming smile sayed.

"I think you may have your answers when your done explaining your story to the Kazekage."
