Fic Chapter

A/N: Kaibaman’s deck will be a mix of his anime deck and other cards used to prevent the opposing player from declaring an automatic win with Exodia while Yubel’s is a mix of Adrian’s Exodia deck along with several of Evil Jesse’s cards. Also the effect of Hand Destruction will be slightly tweaked. Also Exodios retains it’s anime effects about it not being able to be destroyed but it also has it’s real-life effects of being able to send Normal Monsters other than ones with Forbidden One in the name to the grave. Disgraceful Charity’s effect is altered so only the user can retrieve cards from the grave because in the way it’s used, if Yubel could retrieve cards, she’d win automatically due to the effect of Exodia and also Kaibaman chooses to leave his discarded Blue-Eyes in the graveyard.

Last Time

Kaibaman nodded, to let him know he had things under control before turning back to Yubel. “Yubel!” He called.

“Yes?” Yubel answered curtly.

“I challenge you to a duel!” He yelled.

Yubel grinned wickedly. “Very well, I accept. Prepare to lose, you fool!” She cackled in a dark almost maniacal way.

End Flashback

“I won’t lose. Understand? I’ll defeat you and end your reign of terror!” Kaibaman shouted, activating his duel disk.

“Now that I’d like to see so come and get me!” Yubel taunted, activating her duel disk while sticking her tongue out.

Yubel: 8000 Kaibaman: 8000

“My move! I draw!” Kaibaman shouted, drawing his 6th card to begin his turn. “I summon forth myself, Kaibaman!” He declared as a mirror image of himself appeared on the field. (200/700)

“Wait a minute. You’re a dueling spirit?!” Yubel shouted in disbelief. (1)

Kaibaman grinned. “That’s right. Now I’ll sacrifice him with his special ability to bring out the one and the only!”

Yubel’s eyes widened in horror. “No, not him!” She called.

“You better believe it’s him! I summon the legendary BLUE-EYES WHITE DRAGON!!!” Kaibaman declared, as the famous blue-eyed white-scaled dragon appeared, unleashing it’s trademark roar. (3000/2500)

“It’s an impressive tactic but it’s all for nothing.” Yubel taunted. ‘Because with one more card, Exodia will be complete and I win automatically!’ She thought with an evil laugh in her mind.

Kaibaman calmly looked over his remaining cards. ‘Let’s see. I have De-Fusion, Hand Destruction and another Blue-Eyes in my hand. Looks like I have one move to make.’ He thought as he reached for another card from his hand. “I activate my Hand Destruction. With this card, we both have to send 4 cards from our hands to the graveyard. However should we be holding less than 4 cards, then our whole hand goes to the grave. In the case of where we send our whole hand, we draw the same number we send to the grave. But if you’re able to send 4 cards, you draw 4 from your deck.” Kaibaman calmly explained the different effects of his card.

Yubel growled, visibly upset that her hand was so greatly upset. Reluctantly, she sent Exodia’s left arm, left leg, the right arm and The Ritual Of The Ultimate Forbidden Lord to her graveyard while Kaibaman sent De-Fusion and his second Blue-Eyes to his own graveyard.

Kaibaman drew his 2 cards which he smiled at to see Pot of Greed and Trap Booster.

Then Yubel drew her 4 cards, grinning evilly as she drew Exodia’s head itself to go with the right leg in her hand along with her newly drawn Yubel card, along with a relatively useless Mystical Elf that she planned to use to power up her ultimate beast. She calmly examined her 4th and final card which was Grave Squirmer.

“Next I’ll use Pot of Greed to pick up 2 more cards.” Kaibaman stated, drawing 2. ‘Perfect that’s exactly the card I needed.’ He thought, while looking at the second card he drew, Negate Attack. “I activate the magic card known as Trap Booster. Here’s how it works; I discard one card in order to activate a trap from my hand. So I’ll discard the Silent Doom card I drew due to Pot of Greed in order to play Disgraceful Charity from my hand. This allows me to retrieve any cards I lost due to a magic card’s effect that I wish. So I return De-Fusion and Silent Doom to my hand, but Silent won’t stay in my hand for long because I’m playing it. With it I can bring back a Blue-Eyes from the graveyard in defense mode.” He said as the second Blue-Eyes roared, bringing his arms up in front of himself to defend him. (2500) “Finally I place 2 cards facedown and end my turn.” He called, grinning.

Yubel drew, looking calm despite facing 2 Blue-Eyes as she peeked at her drawn card, Rainbow Life. “I activate The Ritual Of The Ultimate Forbidden Lord spell card! It only works when it’s in the graveyard and I have all 5 Exodia parts in either my hand or the grave. I put 3 of them; The Left Arm, The Left Leg and The Right Arm back into my deck then re-shuffle. As for the other 2, I re-send them to my graveyard and to my field I will now summon EXODIOS, THE ULTIMATE FORBIDDEN LORD!!!” Yubel called, laughing wickedly.

To be continued…

1 – What Yubel meant was that she thought he was just a regular duel spirit that he didn’t have his own Duel Monsters card of him, that’s why she was stunned.

Yami grinned, Anzu too looked pleased with the work, giggling before moving forward and wrapping her arms around him. "Feeling better" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yeah, it's all a blur but it's all coming back.." Yami says: "That's alright sweetie, as long as you're alright, that's all that matters". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What did happen" Yami says: "You lost control of yourself, you thought the Oracle wasn't important when Yami was on their side. We were able to get him back before we did you". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi's eyes widened in horror. "Anzu-chan.. i'm so sorry." Yami says: "That's alright, we were even able to get Yami back because of it" she whispered, turning her head to glance past the back of Yuugi's head at Yami with a smile. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yami smiled back. Yuugi sighed, still feeling a bit guilty. Yami says: Anzu pulled back, looking down at Yuugi. "Don't feel guilty, at least we didn't lose you as long as we did Yami" she whispered. "She's right Yuugi, you were strong in staying with the Oracle for so long" Yami replied. "Don't feel weak from one incident". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Thanks, aibou. That makes me feel better." He replied. "Good cause you look dorkier than ever!" Alcina taunted, snickering. Yami says: Yami glared at Alcina, clenching his fist tighter, glaring with so much hate. "Quiet you little pest" Anzu snapped. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Ooh i'm so scared.. not!" Yami says: "Actually kid, we should be thanking you" Anzu chuckled darkly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What are you talking about" Yami says: "If you hadn't angered Yami, he would have never been able to come back onside, his anger was what fuelled his darkness. And without him, we wouldn't have gotten back Yuugi. Bad mistake for you just made things better for us" she stated with a dark grin. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Big deal!" She shouted before falling backwards thanks to Varon sneaking up and pushing her. Yami says: Yami and Anzu laughed as Alcina tumbled to the ground, both thanking Varon for the surprise attack. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi chuckled softly. "No problem mates." Varon replied with a sheepish smile. Yami says: "Good work Varon" Yami chuckled. "Now do something else, I'm sure you're creative enough to really play on her downfall of hating humiliation". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Varon grinned. "Just need a jumpstarter idea, Pharaoh." Yami says: "Something to do with that diaper. I'm so tempted for so many things to do to punish her" Anzu giggled. "But we don't really have time". She sighed. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Anzu-chan we have all the time in the world." Yuugi replied. Yami says: "I don't know, if the Oracle can even slip from you, who knows what else could go wrong" Anzu mumbled. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Relax." The 2 seemingly twins replied. Yami says: Anzu sighed, she was really beginning to worry about what could happen if the Seal was to begin acting up again, if she could lose them. She shook her head, before smiling at them. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "So give me a suggestion here, mate." Varon insisted. Yami says: "I don't really know" Yami mumbled. "Maybe teasing her with words will bring up an idea*. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Then go for it, mou hitori no boku." Yuugi encouraged, his eyes turning a darker red. Yami says: "Good" Yami chuckled. "Hey brat, go home and go embarrass yourself there. Walking around in that piece of crap makes you look like some wannabe ballerina, I'm sick of it and I'm sick of you". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Alcina stared at him, unphased. Yami says: "Damn, she's not so easy to crack" Yami growled. "Well What do you have to say Obviously your parents can't stand you and make you wear that diaper to protect yourself, surely you're that clumsy if you need it for your bed accidents". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Varon and Yuugi chuckled at this. Yami says: "Come on you scum, argue back" Yami hissed only his breath, gritting his teeth. "Can't you see You do nothing other than humiliate yourself, you don't fit in society, you never will, especially with that thing". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "At least i dont worship a duel monsters card you loser." Alcina replied with a snicker. Yuugi held Yami's shoulders, in case he wanted to tackle her. Yami says: Yami glared at her, his shoulders convulsing slightly, he felt Yuugi's hands lay themselves on them, he was still determined to get at her, even if he had to fight back Yuugi. "Its better to worship a card than be you. For the record, I don't, but you clearly worship your diapers, that's why you refuse to stop wearing them. It's a diaper queen" he yelled in fury. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi restrained a snicker before he and Varon fell over laughing at how good their partner's insult was. Yami says: Yami smirked, glancing back at Yuugi and Valon. "Run home if you can face it, I'm sure, you'd just crawl under your bed and go to you little Kingdom of diapers. I know it, I was a king too, so you might want to learn a thing or two. Your subjects would have the sense to turn against you, one problem, they wouldn't be real, diaper girl". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Alcina bit her lip trying not to let Yami's insult get to her. (brb i hafta reboot so my updates take effect Yami says: "What's the matter?" Yami teased. "Am I annoying you?" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Alcina's brow furrowed. "Keep it up aibou" Yuugi said through his giggling. Yami says: "Well?" Yami asked again, waiting for an answer. "Did the diaper queen lose her voice? I sure hope so". "I am not a diaper queen!!" She shouted. Yami says: "Prove it" Yami called. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I dont have to prove anything to you!" Yami says: "That's cause you can't". "What?" Yami says: "You can't prove you're mature or even sane, you're just a little brat that no-one likes. And those diapers are what you wear because it upsets you like the little baby you are". Alcina looked puzzled. "Aww she's all quiet now." Yuugi taunted. Yami says: "Yes, because she can't handle it" Yami chuckled darkly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Well keep it up, maybe make your insults meaner. "I will aibou, I'm just going to see her explode before then". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Be quiet!" Alcina shouted. Yami says: "How are you going to make me?" Yami called with a sinister grin. Alcina charged at him but tripped and fell in front of him. Yami says: (that's good ^_^) Yami laughed hard when Alcina tripped and landed just before him, he held his ribcage as he began to double over, he hadn't seen something so amusing in a long time, Anzu also roared with laughter. Oh thats so rich, how i wish i had a video camera!" Yuugi said cackling with insane laughter. Yami says: "Same here" Yami replied laughing. "I have a way we can make it even better". He reached forward, grasping a handful of Alcina's t-shirt, trying to drag her closer, the look on his face only getting darker and more sinister. "I have a great idea" he chuckled in a less human tone, sounding more like a dulled servant. "What? Tell me tell me tell me!" Yuugi urged with excitement. Yami says: "We strip her of her soul and force her corpse to follow our demands" Yami mumbled, staring at Alcina with wide dull eyes and an insane grin. "Why do that? I'd rather mock her about her little diaper. Explain your reasoning." Yuugi replied. Yami says: Well, the second half Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: after i came back? Yami says: "Because she deserves it" Yami muttered in the same tone. "She's been a bad girl and she needs to be punished".

"But only the diaper insults seem to work."

Yami says: (repost please ) "But she needs to be punished, she needs to learn what happens to naughty girls" Yami chuckled, staring at Alcina with wide eyes, looking insane, waiting for the fear to surface. "She needs to have first hand experience with a punishment, like her friend did". "I still like my plan. Come on, aibou shes the only one i have a blast mocking." Yuugi protested. Yami says: "No Yuugi, she needs to feel fear, not just humilation, she needs to know what happens. What happens to bad kids when they shout at their superiors" Yami replied calmly, his face slowly closing in on Alcina's having already been close. "We should mess with her in other ways so she won't insult us again". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "But Yami.." Yuugi and Anzu protested. Yami says: "No, listen" Yami replied without looking back. "We need to, she won't fight back, we can finally be rid of her". He chuckled darkly, giving Alcina the darkest open-mouthed grin he could, staring into her eyes with his own black ones that had been left from the Oracle's takeover. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yami i insist you leave her alone. Yuugi and I love insulting her and laughing at her feeble comebacks. She cant make comebacks without a soul." Anzu replied. (Since she outranks him so to speak have Yami listen to her.) Yami says: Yami turned to Anzu, giving her the same insane look, his smile faded after a moment, he just glared up at her without even giving her a real glare. "I don't see why not, it'll be fine to hear her screams, to see her squirm, to be punished like she deserves" Yami mumbled. "That's what you did with the real me". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes but its so much more fun to insult her." (do the diaper queen series of insults again but worse) Yami says: "Fine, I'm not happy about it, but I have no choice" Yami sighed, turning back, grasping a clump of Alcina's hair. "What do you say, diaper queen Want to play Anzu's game" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What game?" She growled. Yami says: "The game where I get to pull your spirit apart like they did the to real me" Yami laughed, staring at her with wide eyes. "Don't you want to be teased to the point you can't fight it anymore" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Alcina laughed. "Please your pathetic." Yami says: "I am, am I" he asked, clenching his fist in her hair, pulling at it. "We shall see, won't we Go on, cry out in pain, I want you to". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Alcina smirked. Yami says: "Why won't you call out" Yami asked. "Look in my eyes, see your fate, the one where you're left as nothing. You will share my fate, you know it, your ignorance can't fool me". He clenched his fist tighter, grabbing her right arm with his left hand to hold her close. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yami your not preying on her weakness." Yuugi muttered. Yami says: "I don't need to Yuugi" Yami mumbled back to him, his eyes not leaving Alcina's. "We need to make her scared of us, I want her to cry, I want to see her suffer. You can't stop me, the teasing will come". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Fine then. Hang on i have an idea." He replied with a wicked smile. Yami says: "What's that" Yami asked, determined to make Alcina stare back at him, not breaking his sight with her. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Perhaps she'd be afraid of our fiend monsters like Kuri Babylon." Yami says: "Maybe, we could try it, although I would like to get at her" Yami mumbled. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "You will don't worry." Yami says: "Good" Yami giggled before turning back to Yuugi. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: He stepped in front of Alcina and summoned Kuri Babylon who bonded with the Oracle which made his teeth long and demonic-like. Just as Yuugi hoped, Alcina screamed in terror. Yami says: "Yes, scream" Yami teased in his dull voice. "Scream like you'll never be happy again, do it, let me see the terror, the horror, the fear". He threw his head back and began to cackle wildly, Anzu stared at him, unsure why he was so amused, but shrugged it off and looked up at Yuugi, smiling. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Scared yet, little diaper queen?" Yuugi taunted, laughing wickedly. Yami says: "Tell them you're scared, admit the truth" Yami called through his laughs and he stared up at the sky above. "You can't hide it, admit it, admit it". He slowly began to shake Alcina as she screamed, Anzu continued to watch Yuugi, still confused what the game was and whether it was going right. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I think he's gone insane." Yuugi teased. Yami says: "I think so too" Anzu mumbled, glancing down at Yami, both glad he had been pushed so far, yet worried that he really was on the brink of insanity. "What do you think we should do" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Gently slap him a few times." Yami says: "I can't touch him" Anzu sighed. "His spirit form means that he can interact with things and people, but only you can return the touch". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Fine i'll do it." Yami says: Yami paid no attention to them as he brought his head back down, staring at Alcina as he continued to gently shake her, continuing to repeat his demend 'admit it' to her quietly when he noticed Yuugi come into view. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi gently but forcefully slapped him several times to calm him down. Yami says: Yami groaned as Yuugi slapped him, releasing Alcina who toppled away. He growled as he opened his eyes afterwards, glaring up at Yuugi with the dead look, dark anger shooting upwards at him. "Don't mess with me, Mutou" he growled. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi's eyes widened. Yami says: Yami grinned at Yuugi's look as his eyes widened. "What was that for Surprised" Yami chuckled darkly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes.." Yami says: "Good, that's what I was going for". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "But why?" Yami says: "Because the Pharaoh doesn't exist, this is a free existence. I can take control of him I never did with you. Just to see your face look down at him like that, like you're worried, looking like you care, it makes me laugh" Yami replied breaking into another fit of laughing. Anzu stared at Yuugi, she didn't undestand anything, wondering what Yami meant, clearly it was the Oracle talking through him but that was all she got. "What are you talking about mou hitori no boku?" Yami says: "You don't get it, you don't listen" Yami laughed. "There IS no mou hitori no Yuugi anymore. The instant you let him fade only for Timaeus to watch, you erased any mou hitori no Yuugi and now look at him. His shell is mine because of how you took him apart. There's nothing you can do, I am the Oracle and I could drain you of me at anytime. Scared yet" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Say what?!" Yuugi asked now getting frightened. Yami says: Yami cackled loudly sensing the fear inside of Yuugi, the way it had emerged, he looked at Yuugi with the dark grin. "Do I need to make it simpler" he teased. "Yami's gone. Gone away for a long time. And you're left with me, what do you think Fair price you paid and now I'm your mou hitori no Yuugi. Or as close as you'll get to him". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi slowly backed away. "A-Anzu-chan did you hear what he said?" Yami says: Yami laughed more, laughing hard, Anzu stared at him as if he were insane, which was what she saw him as now, she took a step back too, looking at Yuugi who was the other side of Yami to her. "I should have known something would go wrong. We really did push him too far" she whispered fearfully. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What should we do? Maybe if we summon Timaeus that can push the most insane part of the Oeacle out of him." Yami says: "I don't know, but its the closest we have" she called. "We'll just have to hope Timaeus will listen" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes lets hope.." YamiRena says: "Yuugi, call Timaeus, see what happens" Yami chuckled. "I dare you to". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi ignored him as he held the card aloft, evoking the spirit of the blue dragon inside and summoning it. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says:

• summoned

Yami Rena says: "Hello Timaeus" Yami chuckled. "Reckonigze me You should the shell, but whats inside is much different. I'm sure you know what I mean". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Timaeus roared in confusion. Yami Rena says: Yami laughed at the roar, his only response, he had expected words, he glared up at Timaeus, anxiously awaiting Timaeus' voice, waiting to see if he had picked it up Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Pharaoh whats going on?" He asked, though he already knew. Yami Rena says: "You know" Yami laughed. "You know, I know you do. The Pharaoh doesn't exist, you know who I am, WHAT I am. Face it Timaeus, when you saw him fade like the Battle City final match would have made him, you had failed him. You both had failed him". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Why target him?" Yami Rena says: "Why do you think" Yami asked laughing. "He was my prime target all along, or did you forget our first fight with him dragged into it And with his aibou and his girl a part of me already, the Pharaoh was desperate to save them, encasing him in darkness, binding him, stopping his voice from even coming from his very mouth, it was easy. I knew it would lead to this. His aibou and girl will think Yami Rena says: I'm bad again. Just like I knew the Pharaoh would try to convince them all along". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "You must stop this or I shall force you." Timaeus growled. Yami Rena says: "How are YOU going to try that" Yami laughed. "You couldn't save the Pharaoh when he was himself, now he isn't even here. What are you going to do about it" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I'll show you!" Timaeus snarled driving himself into Yami's body like an exorcism spell in order to force the darkest of the Oracle out of him. Yami Rena says: Yami's eyes widened, his pupils and iris shrinking as Timaeus passed right through him, he uttered a simple sound from the pain the spirit endured. As he fell back, the Oracle continued to hold strong, everything it could keep in him would stop him from becoming nothing but a memory. He stared ahead blanky as Yuugi sank from his view, the sky coming into it as his back and head hit the ground. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yami!" Yuugi screamed, anguished. Yami made no response, he just stared upwards, his breathing quicker than normal, Anzu looked up at Yuugi, fear evident in her eyes, even through the Oracle's control. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi hugged her tightly. "Shh it's ok Anzu." He reassured her. Yami Rena says: Yami made no movement, just his chest heaving up and down, watching as Yuugi flickered in and out of voice, hearing his distorted words. He shivered, waiting for his form to recover, silently cursing Timaeus. "Yami are you in there?" Yuugi asked. Yami Rena says: Yami didn't answer, his spirit form convulsing, staring at the sky without any emotion in his eyes, since the Oracle had taken complete control, his eyes had been void of it all, now even moreso Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (Have the true Yami break free eventually Yami Rena says: (yeah) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yami??" Yami Rena says: "Yu-Yu-Yuugi" Yami sounded. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes aibou?" Yami Rena says: "Yu-Yuugi. D-d-don't g-give in" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What do you mean?" Yami Rena says: "Fi-fight it. The Ora-Oracle" he whispered, shivering. "S-stop it while you c-can. If you care about a-anything, e-ever, then don't let it-it t-take over". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "But Yami.. my promise to Anzu.." Yami Rena says: "Yu-Yuugi, please" Yami whispered, a tear coming to his right eye. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "But Anzu.. I promised her.." Yami Rena says: "If you ignore me now. I-I can't come back" Yami breathed. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "But how can I help you?" Yami Rena says: "Just stop it, please. Its up t-to you, I=I need to you to this on-one thing for me. Pl-please ai-ai-aibou, if you exist, you'll do this" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Anzu-chan i'm sorry but i must do this.. if you value Yami you'll let me." Yami Rena says: "Yu-Yuugi, ar-are you still there" Yami whispered. "I-I can't see anything, I feel numb. I feel alone". The tear slid down the side of his head, Anzu made no protest against Yuugi, she could see if he was to lose Yami, he'd never forgive her. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi smiled seeing she'd let him, he gave her a peck on the cheek. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as she watched him walk away, Yami did nothing, just whisper into the air above him, too quietly for her to hear him. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What do i have to do, Yami?" Yuugi asked, kneeling at his side. Yami Rena says: "L-let Timaeus t-ta-take the Oracle" Yami strained. "From A-Anzu and you ai-aibou". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "But that would break our promise. Anzu-chan what should we do?" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (go on Yami Rena says: "Its your choice Yuugi, this is your battle for Yami" Anzu whispered. "If you choose to give it up, I understand for Yami, if it were me, I'd want what was best for him too". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yami if we release the Oracle then after saving you re-bond with it would that harm you?" Yami Rena says: Yami closed his eyes before nodding weakly. "I-It and I have a link, wh-when you are influenced from the da-darkness, it will j-just do this". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "No.. I wish there were a way i could save you and keep my promise.." (^^ thats your cue to think of somethin ^^) Yami Rena says: "Fine, then j-just sacrifice me then. Th-that promise is j-just too important" Yami hissed, turning his head away from Yuugi. "F-forget me and go, th-there's only one th-thing that c-can keep b-both". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What is it?" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (go on Yami Rena says: "Th-that the Oracle t-takes over me l-like it did" Yami spat. "I-I would hardly be here, b-but you'd be able t-to k-keep your precious promise". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (Think of somethin other than that ok Yami Rena says: (I don't know what else to, I'm not really in the creative mood today) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (Hmm maybe transfer the effect to somewhat they dont really care for like Haga/Weevil) Yami Rena says: (sure, go for it, I don't care) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (ily man ^^) "I have a new plan." Yami Rena says: "A-and what would t-that be" Yami spat. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "If i use Shadow Magic i think i can transfer the effect to someone else." Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (is that 18+ anime called when they cry? Yami Rena says: (Yeah) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (kay continue Yami Rena says: "Oh really" Yami growled, opening his eyes as he turned his head back, glaring at Yuugi. "And what makes you think it'll be that easy" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I'm as skilled with it as you. Look if you want to live then shut up and let me do this." (Srry but he was gettin irritated Yami Rena says: (just how I feel) Yami glared at Yuugi, he still didn't like where everything was going, he'd be free, but they'd be back with the Oracle, it would have changed nothing, he sighed and turned his head away again. The eye glowed brighter as the effect was transferred from Yami to the insect duelist, Insector Haga. Yami Rena says: Yami groaned when he felt the power being pulled from him, he clenched his fists, neither his nor the Oracle's resistance was enough. His message had failed getting through to Yuugi, with his severe condition, the Oracle could have destroyed him, but with someone like Haga in a fit state, he wouldn't be affected so badly. He exhaled deeply, relaxing his hands, his head tightly slightly more as the Yami Rena says: Oracle left him. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "You ok aibou?" Yami Rena says: "I'm fine" Yami mumbled without turning back. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Good." Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled, hopping over to Yuugi and hugging him tightly, proud that he had been able to do what he wished and still keep them both bonded to the Oracle. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi blushed softly.

Yami Rena says: "Now what" Anzu asked quietly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yugi!" Kaiba called. (He's outside.) Yami Rena says: (I thought Yuugi, Anzu and Yami were too o.o) "What is it Kaiba" Anzu called. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (no lol) "Just come outside will ya?" Yami Rena says: Anzu stood and moved towards the door, turning back to see whether Yuugi would follow the order before stepping outside herself. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi walked toward the door. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled, taking Yuugi's hand as he exited the building, she turned to Kaiba, almost with a glare for having just interrupted a moment that they needed. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Follow me, trust me you'll like what you see." Kaiba said. Yami Rena says: Anzu growled, glancing back to the inside, wondering what had happened to the dragon after he had removed the Oracle from Yami. She moved forward, following Kaiba. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu and Alexis* We'll miss u Barbaro says: (He's completed their empire. just use your imagination on the design.) Kaiba led them to a rather large building where rubble from his Blue-Eyes once stood. Yami Rena says: Anzu gazed up at it in awe, the tower similar to Alcatraz only brighter from the light about, she smiled, several extensions sticking out of the sides like thrones to a rose that would be pathways to rooms and such was what she saw, the tower itself paling in comparison of heights to Alcatraz. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi looked up at it in both shock and pure joy. He was totally speechless. Yami Rena says: "What do you think, Yuugi I really like it, I think Kaiba's done a great job on it". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "It's beautiful.." Yami Rena says: "It is, isn't it Alright, what's our next step This is done, Yami's back to normal - even if he's in a damn weak state - and everyone's acting okay". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I suppose we basically start to recruit the entire world to our cause." Yami Rena says: "I suppose so" Anzu replied with a nod. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi smiled wickedly. Yami Rena says: "What's that look for" Anzu muttered. "You usually have that look when you have a great idea". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "It's because im happy the world nearly belongs to us." Yami Rena says: "That's good" Anzu giggled. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi kissed her deeply on the lips. Yami Rena says: "So, what do we do now Split up and recruit Or do we work as a team" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I think it'll be best if we split up." Yami Rena says: "Right" Anzu replied nodding her head. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Promise you'll be careful." Yami Rena says: "I will, you must be too" Anzu whispered. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I will i promise." Yami Rena says: "Good" Anzu whispered. She turned away and headed back in the direction they had come from, looking around for anyone that had arrived in their path. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Airtos!! No!!!" A familiar voice screamed. Yami Rena says: Anzu froze in her path, turning back to see the one who had called out to the forgotten guardian. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Raphael sobbed softly as he glared venomously up at his opponent. Yami Rena says: "Raphael" Anzu growled without emotion. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: He turned around. "Anzu is that you?" Yami Rena says: "Yes, what do you want" she mumbled. "I'm dueling right now. Feel free to watch." "Fine" Raphael smirked. "Whenever Airtos is destroyed it calls forth Guardian Deathscythe!" Raphael smiled. "I have 7400 thanks to magic cards while my opponent only has 1500 left." He said, smirking as the Oracle now shown on his forehead. Yami Rena says: "Oh" Anzu mumbled, smiling at the Oracle. "Good for you, listen, when you're done, I need you to help me with something". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Sure, just tell me what it is you need." (JC but why is she mumblin) Yami Rena says: (dunno, couldn't think of another word at the time ) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (oh continue Yami Rena says: "I need to to help me with a little something I have to finish off close to Yuugi's home" Anzu giggled darkly. "I know you'd be prepared to help me. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Sure." He replied as Deathscythe appeared on the field. ATK:3000 Yami Rena says: "Good. Should I go ahead, or wait for you, I don't care either way". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Wait. It shouldnt take too long." He replied as his opponent ended his turn. His opponent was standing in shadows so he couldnt be identified. Yami Rena says: "Alright then, I wonder who you're duelling". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "He uses dino cards but i do not remember any such duelists." Yami Rena says: "Sounds like Dinosaur Ryuzaki* (can't remember the name, just gonna look it up in a manga volume) Yami Rena says: (oshi, that was right =o) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (actually thats it) "Heh well he;s about to out 1 soul.." He turned back to the duel and activated Deathscythe's special effect to sacrifice his other 5 guardians to raise its attack to 5500. Yami Rena says: "Nice work then" Anzu giggled, watching the duel proudly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Deathscythe wipe him out!" Yami Rena says: Anzu grinned as she watched the deathly creepy guardian rush up to the other duellist, swinging the scythe down upon them. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Dinosaur screamed in pain as his life points were wiped out with one swipe. Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled watching the unfortunate duellist fall to his knees as the Oracle closed around him, listening to him yell as he was stripped of his soul. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Raphael laughed softly as Deathscythe disappeared along with the Oracle. Yami Rena says: Anzu turned her head to Raphael, grinning at him, both proudly and darkly. "Good job, now we have another prisoner waiting with that pest". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Raphael smirked. "Who might that be?" Yami Rena says: "Katsuya Jonouchi" Anzu laughed. "When he finally lost and accepted his fate to lose to the Oracle. He was finally sealed away just for the safety of the Pharaoh, and even afterwards he wasn't safe". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Hm? How so?" Yami Rena says: "Because the Oracle still infected him, he pushed Yuugi to almost give it all up until Yuugi's quick thinking helped him keep a hold of it". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I don't understand what you mean. Explain more." Yami Rena says: "What do you mean I thought it was simple enough. After Jonouchi was defeated, the Oracle was still able to get to Yami. he said Yuugi would have to give it up to safe him because of a bond between them so Yuugi just transferred the bond to someone else" Anzu growled. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I see. Is that a problem?" Yami Rena says: "No, it's good, but it could turn into a problem because Yami seemed like he wanted to try and keep the Oracle inside to force it out of Yuugi" Anzu sighed. "Come on, lets go and do this". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes let's." Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled and turned away, heading back in the direction she had been travelling in before running into Raphael. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Shall I follow?" He asked. Yami Rena says: "Yes, it would do good with your help, there's something I must do quickly and then I must continue mine and Yuugi's mission". "Very well." He said jogging casually behind. "Good, once we get to Yuugi's home, everything will be set straight. I can finally help Yuugi in our Kingdom's growth" Anzu giggled darkly, moving along briskly. "What kingdom?" Raphael asked. "The Kingdom of the Oracle. The Kingdom that Yuugi and I will rule over". "Interesting.." "Yes" Anzu replied. She said nothing between then and Yuugi's home coming into view, she grinned darkly at it. "Are you ready?” she asked, turning back to Raphael. "Yes Anzu." "Good" Anzu chuckled, moving towards the building. Raphael walked inside, the shadow of his hulking form showing in the doorway. Yami opened his eyes and turned his head back, seeing both Anzu and Raphael standing in the doorway, their shadows looming over him. "What do you want?" he hissed. "Pharaoh, is that you?" Raphael asked, concerned. Yami glared at Raphael, he cursed at Anzu under her breath. "What do you think Raphael?" he hissed. "Are you alright, Pharaoh?" "Raphael, I'm the weakest I've been in a long time, I've lost my aibou, I'm stuck like this and I can barely move below my neck. Do I look alright to you?" Yami snapped. Anzu chuckled before stepping forward, moving slowly towards Yami. Raphael moved closer as well, "What do you two want?" Yami growled, repeating his question as he glared up at them both. "What do we want again?" Raphael asked her. Anzu giggled, not looking back at Raphael, instead she lowered herself to her knees, giggling more at the dark marks under Yami's eyes as he glared at her. "I told you, we're going to help Yuugi. And the best way we can do that is but getting rid of anything that holds him back. Namely in this case: Yami". "But wouldn’t that hurt him deep down?" "Not if he thinks Yami passed on because of how weak he was. There's nothing that can hold us back or hurt us". "All right but what if Yuugi-san gets angry at you?" "He won't. As far as he knows we weren't here. We didn't see Yami again, he'd never know". "But what if he comes back here looking for Yami?" "He's gone off elsewhere to recruit, we split up" Anzu growled. "Now stop asking questions and worrying, just be quiet while I do this". "Whatever you're doing, it won't work" Yami protested. “Yuugi will find out, he will come and stop you. I don't care what you say, my aibou still exists somewhere". "You really believe that huh?" "Yes I do. Why shouldn't I?” "Have you seen the child duel?" "Of course I have" Yami shouted. "What kind of partner would I be if I didn't? Then again, what kind of partner could I be to let him slip into the Oracle". "Pharaoh, he feels stronger now." "I know. And I know why and how. And that's what makes me fear for him the most" Yami sighed, staring up at the ceiling above him. "When you two are done" Anzu hissed. Raphael nodded, backing away. "Good" Anzu replied, sounding like she held an authority over Raphael before looking back at Yami. "Now hold still, this'll only hurt if you resist”. Yami growled before Anzu moved her hand forward, plunging it into Yami's chest, he cried out in pain sharply for a second as her hand floated in what was mid-air to anyone other than Yami and Yuugi. He gritted his teeth, closing his eyes as he could see Anzu's hand glowing white. He tried to open the mind-link to Yuugi, praying it still existed. 'Y-Yuugi. Tell me you can hear me'. ‘Aibou.. what is it?’ Yuugi sent back though the link was extremely weak. 'I-Its Anzu' Yami replied, the strain in his mental voice making sure his words would be believed. 'I-I don't know what's she's doing, but-but....ai-aibou'. His train of thought derailed, he went limp under Anzu's power, his eyes closing slowly, his head falling to the left side of his body, looking at the wall numbly, Anzu's cackle ringing out in his head. ‘Aibou!’ He sent before the link was broken. Yami laid still, his eyes floating about as he stared at the wall, the link was dead, Anzu continued to do whatever it was, he could only guess it was she was draining his very soul. He couldn't move back, his eyes were all that would as they flickered. "B-bitch" he breathed. Raphael watched, looking thoughtful. "Ai-aibou" Yami whispered, determined to fight as long as he could. "For-for, forgive me". His head slowly lowered to the ground, his world going blurry, his head throbbed, he felt sick, he was sure Yuugi didn't care, surely he didn't. The link was dead, Yuugi didn’t send a response. "Ai-aibou" Yami muttered again as his eyes closed completely, his senses failing as his strength dipped too low to stay conscious. "Good, now he's out. It'll be easier without his will or resistance to fight" Anzu chuckled. Mokuba watched with an evil smirk. Noah laughed in the same fashion he had with his first encounter with the others, seeing Anzu - half of their leaders - winning over Yami's resistance, seeing her drain whatever was left of him, he felt it was best to agree it was good, Mokuba had felt so and just watching made him proud of her. "Noa-kun?" Mokuba asked softly. "Yes Mokuba?" Noa asked. "Do you remember when you controlled me?" "Yes" "Well I don’t exactly know why but I felt happy when i was just as I do now." Noa smiled, laying a hand on Mokuba's shoulder and turning back to Anzu, a large portion of her arm riding up towards her elbow glowing white. "Do you know why Noa-kun?" He asked shyly. "Why's that?” "I was asking if you knew why I felt that way." He explained with a slight giggle. "Probably because I was protecting you from what you believed what was" Noa replied with a smile Mokuba smiled up at him much like he did when he was under Noa's mind control. "I love you Noa-kun." "I love you too Mokie" He slowly wrapped his arms around his step-brother seemingly melting into his arms. Anzu glanced back at them, smiling sympathetically. 'Soon Yuugi. Soon you and I will have no problem taking on this world, as close as that'. "I always want to be with you Noa-kun." Mokuba whispered. "Yes" Noa replied happily. Raphael looked at them, smiling as he remembered the bond with his own siblings. "How well do you think Yuugi is doing?" she asked him. "What is your family up to?” "He's probably doing fine. As for them they're on a little trip or something they told me." "I hope so" Anzu mumbled. "He should hopefully be away from this area long enough for me to finish this". "Then hurry up." Raphael urged. "I'm trying, don't you think I am?" Anzu shouted. "We can't let him come back into the area and find this happening". "Trust me he's nowhere near here." "Yeah, that's good, with Yami unconscious like this, it should only be a couple of minutes before he's erased, hopefully Yuugi shouldn't even be anywhere near done. He'll come back and find Yami gone before all salvation" Anzu giggled, looking up darkly. "Er is that a good thing mate?" Varon asked. "Yes it is" Anzu hissed. "So he won't know we were directly involved". "Sheesh, relax will ya?" "I would, but this is taking longer than I expected" Anzu sighed. "Maybe even like this, Yami has some fight left". Raphael stared ahead, watching. Anzu smiled as Yami legs slowly began to fade, vanishing from sight, finally it would be very soon when Yami would be gone and out of the way Raphael continued watching. Anzu grinned, her arm almost completely surrounded by the white glow that climbed up higher to her shoulder, the fading process climbing up Yami, reaching his waist when he groaned, his breathing becoming deeper pulls for air, his chest heaving from each. Varon watched with a curious look. Anzu giggled, Yami's torso vanished around and beyond where her hand sat. She looked up at Raphael with the dark smile, wondering if he had seen any sign of Yuugi. He gave a thumbs-up indicating Yuugi was nowhere near for the moment. Anzu nodded before turning back, she could feel the light rising almost reaching her shoulder when the process passed Yami's shoulders. "You’re almost there Anzu-chan." Mokuba replied. "Yes" Anzu replied with a nod of the head. She could just feel it, loving how she could feel Yami's energy reaching into her arm, the instant it would complete and he would vanish, the light of her arm would disappear and she would be so much more powerful Varon and Raphael grinned. "That's it, almost there" Anzu giggled, watching as Yami's face slowly vanished, rising past his mouth, his eyes. "Good Yami, keep co-operating" "Aibou.. I know part of you is still there.." Yami begged as his mouth vanished just as he uttered his last words. Anzu giggled, hearing Yami's last fading words. The glow brightening as more and more of Yami disappeared, watching with a wide smile. "He's gone now ain't he mate?" Varon asked. Anzu nodded as the spikes of Yami's hair vanished, the light reaching the tip of her shoulder. It took a moment before the light faded. "There we go. Yami no longer exists in this world" she giggled. Varon and Raphael laughed along with Mokuba and Noa but unbeknownst to them Yuugi had arrived back at the shop but hadn’t gone back inside. Anzu watched her arms return to normal, turning back to the laughing boys with a dark smile, now their real goal was beckoning them. Yuugi walked in but his eyes widened in surprise to see Anzu there. "Hi Anzu-chan!" He called cheerfully. "Yuugi" Anzu chirped, glad he hadn't come a secon earlier to see Yami. "What are you doing back home so soon?" "Oh, I had to take care of something". "What exactly?" "Oh, nothing really important, just something I wanted to fix". "Oh ok." He said smiling. Anzu giggled, glad that Yuugi hadn't caught on, nothing had existed that would lead him to believe that what had just happened really had. She walked up to him, peaking him quickly on the cheek. Yuugi giggled softly, happily returning the kiss. "So Yuugi, what did you come back for?” "Well I wanted to come back and relax as I’ve recruited like 20 people already." "That's great" Anzu called. "Well, I guess we should get back to work soon, right guys" "No. I need a break.." Yuugi replied. For some reason he wondered where Honda was during all this. "What's wrong Yuugi? You seem a bit off, like you're searching for something" Anzu muttered. "Are you alright?” "Yeah I'm fine. I just need a couple hours to relax." "That's good, we don't want to wear you out" she giggled. "Yuugi, you truly are my closest and best partner". Yuugi smiled evilly softly. Anzu smiled brightly at Yuugi, liking the smile he held. Yuugi grinned a bit as he kissed her deeply on the lips. Anzu kissed back, hearing the others' reactions, mostly giggles and sounds of interest, she just smiled as she pulled away at the end. "I love you Anzu.." "I love you too Yuugi" "I always have." "I agree, so have I" "Really? 'Cause for the longest time before the Oracle came along I saw signs you loved Yami." "Yami?” Anzu gasped. "Why bring him into everything? He doesn't even belong in this conversation, just you and me". Yuugi looked at her, puzzled. "What's the matter Yuugi?” "The way you answered, like you’re hiding something." "What do you mean? I'm just saying, Yami had no place in the conversation. And he's been so weak lately, weak and unneeded. He should just disappear-" "Well you do bring up a good point there." "Exactly, there's nothing to hide, Yami's just a pest and we'd be better off without him". Yuugi's eyes dulled like she was controlling him and he nodded without a second thought. "Good boy, because I have some good news for you". "What my queen?" He asked, his voice dull as she kept her control over him. "Yami really IS gone" Yuugi smiled widely even under her control. "He is?" He asked joyfully.

"Yeah"  Anzu giggled. "I drained his soul of all power, anything he did have is in my arm, now he's somewhere else, far far away and we won't need to fight him ever again".

Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi smiled happily. Yami Rena says: "So you don't mind He was your other half" Anzu mumbled. "Even before you were worried for him, even under the Oracle's control I thought you'd be at least a little unhappy. Oh well, you're my special Yuugi and I wouldn't want you upset". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "No i dont mind at all. All that matters is you." Yami Rena says: "That's my good little Yuugi". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi hugged her, seeming to melt in her arms. If he could he'd stay in her embrace forever. Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled, hugging him tightly, smiling as she rang her hand through his hair Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I could stay in your arms forever. I always feel so warm, safe..and loved while in your arms." He said with a dreamy sigh. Yami Rena says: "I know, I feel the same, I would never wat to give you up, just to be able to be with you is like a dream and I'll never want it to end. Ever". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Really?" Yami Rena says: "Yes, really". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Ohh Anzu.." He said and melted into her gentle loving embrace. Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled as he did, holding him tighter, she never wanted the moment to end. Her eyes shot open with an evil look upon her face out of Yuugi's sight. 'Give my regards to Jonouchi if you ever see him again Pharaoh. Yuugi's mine and mine alone.' Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi purred contently as he gently pulled her closer to him. Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled more, she just couldn't help but want to hold him and never let him go, she turned to the others and jerked her head, commanding them to leave and search for more recruits. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Raphael and Varon nodded along with Noa and Mokuba as they left leaving her alone with her king. Yami Rena says: Anzu grinned at their leaving before turning back to Yuugi, lookign down at him proudly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: He looked up at her, even with his eyes having the Oracles's evil glow in them he still looked pure. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi I love that look. But I can't help but feel I get a sense that something is wrong from it" Anzu whispered. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Nothing's wrong. We're the most perfect couple in the world.." Yami Rena says: "I agree Yuugi. We are, no-one can tear us apart. Ever. Not Jou. Not Yami. No-one". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes.. and soon we'll officially be permanently together once we marry." Yami Rena says: "Yeah and then no-one will even want to tear us apart, let alone try". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes i know your my evil little queen." He replied with a giggle. Yami Rena says: Anzu nodded, her eyes watching Yuugi brightly like his own real eyes had shone through. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I wish we could marry right now. The anticipation is killing me inside."

Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro just sent you a nudge.

Yami Rena says: "Yeah, well, at least nothing can go wrong. Nothing ever will". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I love that about you. Your always so sure of yourself." Yami Rena says: "Yes, because you're the one that makes me so certain. The way you've pulled through things, even when they were against you, its inspiring. Yami Rena says: ". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Like when?" He teasingly asked, Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says:

• .

Yami Rena says: "Like Battle City and all those other times". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yeah but i almost killed Seto or rather Yami did." Yami Rena says: "Yes and that's why he was so bad. But now he won't and can't hurt anyone ever again". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yeah thank goodness you stopped him.." Came Kaiba's voice from the doorway but he didnt move any further seeing as Anzu was enjoying being alone with his rival. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled, wondering if Kaina knew about the new barrier that had stopped Yami. She nodded to thank him, smiling. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says:

• Kaiba* He smiled back. "Hey Anzu?" He asked.

Yami Rena says: "Yeah" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "We may not be on the best of terms but if anyone could rule beside my rival im glad it's you." Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as a response to Yuugi's words, everyone was close something very rare before the Oracle's intervention, she liked it a lot. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi smiled. "Thank you Kaiba." Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled, kissing Yuugi on the cheek quickly again. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Kaiba chuckled softly at that. Yuugi giggled as well returning the kiss. Yami Rena says: Anzu blushed slightly, smiling at Kaiba, to see the pair getting along so well was like a dream come true. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I just wish i could find my own girlfriend whose as good to me as Anzu-chan is to you." (Have her be surprised by his honorific use) Yami Rena says: Anzu seemed surprised by Kaiba's words, but was flattered nonetheless. "Don't worry Kaiba, they will be someone for you, I know there will be". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "How?" (brb Yami Rena says: "You have to have faith Kaiba, there will be, I'm sure someone will see the good in you that will attract them, you're hardly heartless and inhuman". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I hope so.." Kaiba replied. Yami Rena says:

• You'll see".

Yami Rena says: sorry, my bad =x Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi smiled happily at her. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (np ur turn Yami Rena says: "Oh Yuugi" Anzu giggled, seeing his smile. "Don't you believe it It'd be great for Kaiba". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Of course i do." Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled happily before turning back to Kaiba. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Kaiba smiled. Yami Rena says: Anzu looked back at Yuugi and then at Kaiba. "Kaiba, I must speak with Yuugi in private for a moment. Do you mind if we go into a seperate room for that moment" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "No I don't. Take all the time you need." Yami Rena says: "Thank you" Anzu said before leading Yuugi into the kitchen Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi looked up at his girlfriend curiously. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, I was thinking, what do you think we should do I mean, Kaiba and the others were supposed to be set free, that was our promise to Jonouchi. Besides, with both him and Yami captured and gone, who knows what might happen". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Just because we promised him doesnt mean we have to keep it. We're both evil remember?" He teasingly asked. Yami Rena says: "I know, but I can't help but feel something's wrong. I don't know what, but I feel like it is". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: His eyes turned hypnotic. "Nothing is wrong." Yami Rena says: "Wha" Anzu asked dully. She didn't continue to protest, they had both drawn each other under a spell of their own so many times, neither knew what was really going on. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I said nothing is wrong. forget about Jonouchi." Yami Rena says: Anzu nodded dully, the only response she made. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: His eyes returned to normal as he stopped his brief control. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled down at Yuugi, her concerns about Jonouchi and Yami had vanished like they never existed, she giggled lightly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi giggled evilly softly. Yami Rena says: "That's my Yuugi" Anzu giggled. Yami Rena says: (I'mma head off soon, not feeling too good today T.T) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (aww plz dont go.. im having so much fun.. Yami Rena says: (Okay) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (you'll stay?) Yami Rena says: (alright) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (yay ^^ *hugs*) Yami Rena says: (your turn) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "And that's my Anzu." He said with a giggle of his own. Yami Rena says: Anzu looked down proudly, giggling again. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi smiled. "Your mine and only mine." He said with a prideful somewhat arrogant grin. Yami Rena says: (I have no idea what we're doing after this little love scene o.o You got any clue) Anzu leaned forward, holding her head close to Yuugi's, kissing him on the cheek quickly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (Mm maybe their wedding? Yami Rena says: (I guess, I think there should be something leading them to getting Jou and Yami out of their mess coming up soon hopefully, but I wasn't sure what. But I guess their wedding will do) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (Alright.) Yuugi kissed her back but for far longer. Yami Rena says: Anzu blushed as Yuugi kissed back for so long, she didn't understand what had happened lately, but in a way, she felt so comfortable with it. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I love you Anzu Mazaki.." He said in a sort of dreamy voice. Yami Rena says: "I love you more Yuugi" Anzu repeated in the same tone of voice. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi giggled happily. "You know what the happiest day of my life was?" Yami Rena says: "When I kissed you" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Well yes but what i meant was when you became my girlfriend." Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled, she felt the same way to Yuugi, their coming together had meant so much for her. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Your the best thing in the world to me." Yami Rena says: "And you're the most important thing ever to me". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I know my beautiful queen i know."

Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro just sent you a nudge.

Yami Rena says: "Yes, you're the one I want to protect. You're the one that matters to me. The only one". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Aww how sweet of you." Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled, holding Yuugi to her tightly, smiling as she held onto him, wanting to just stay there. Just for no-one to interrupt. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Anzu-chan the waiting is killing me i want to marry you tonight if we can." Yami Rena says: "I know what you mean, but if we're recruiting and stuff, we have to wait until we have enough on our side to overpower others". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "No one can defeat us my love so please lets marry tonight." Yami Rena says: "Fine then, at the tower would be best. Then we'll complete our mission". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes, let's." Yami Rena says: Anzu nodded before standing, moving towards the doorway that would lead them back to the main room where she expected to see Kaiba. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Kaiba was there, his arms crossed. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled, waiting for Yuugi, a distant voice entered her head. 'Anzu, you bitch' 'Jonouchi' she thought after it faded. 'No, he won't come back, whatever he tries is pointless, Yuugi won't go there, not even for him and Yami'. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (Hang on i thought that Jou's soul was taken.) Yami Rena says: (you shall see >]) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (kk) Yuugi followed, smiling widely. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as if she had heard nothing, taking Yuugi's hand, she pulled him to Kaiba, smiling at him as they passed him, waiting for him to acompany them back to the tower. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Kaiba smiled as he followed. Yami Rena says: "Hey Kaiba, Yuugi has an idea. We're getting married tonight. I would like you to be the best man, you're the closest guy to us around at this time" Anzu annoucned cheerfully. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Kaiba smiled. "Sure id be glad to." Yami Rena says: "Thanks so much Kaiba. We'll have to plan the rest when we get back to the tower. Don't you agree Yuugi" Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes i do my soon-to-be wife." He said, giggling. Yami Rena says: "That's right. My husband-to-be. I like it" Anzu giggled. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi giggled more. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled cutely at Yuugi before looking ahead again, as the tower's upper half came into view, she smiled at Kaiba, silently thanking him for the job he had done. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Kaiba smiled as well.

Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro just sent you a nudge.

Yami Rena says: Anzu nodded, turning her head back towards the tower, wondering what the others were up to. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Are you ready for this my love?" Yami Rena says: "More than I've ever been" "And so am i." Kaiba smiled at her. Yami Rena says: "You're both so sweet, I'm glad to know you both so well". They blushed and nodded. Anzu giggled at their blushes. Yuugi smiled at her. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, this is the final step, right" Anzu asked. "Once this is done, our recruits will recruit more, the Oracle will spread and our goal will be achieved". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes.." Yuugi replied grinning wickedly. Yami Rena says: "Good, no-one in the world will go against us". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes we will be their rulers." Yuugi replied, giggling evilly. Yami Rena says: "Yes, everything the others tried to do in resisting will be shattered, it'll be nothing, they would have failed". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi nodded, believeing everything the once pure girl said. Yami Rena says: "Good, then that means you can truly be this world's king and we can show those others what we were capable of all along, when they thought we were weak". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes my queen." He replied as though his mind were controlled by the now twisted girl. Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled, stroking the smaller king's head gently as she looked ahead at the tower watiting before them.

The following message could not be delivered to all recipients:

Anzu giggled, stroking the smaller king's head gently as she looked ahead at the tower watiting before them.

Yami Rena says: Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled, stroking the smaller king's head gently as she looked ahead at the tower watiting before them.

Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi giggled as well. "I love you my evil queen."

Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro just sent you a nudge.

Yami Rena says: "I love you more, my evil little king, You will show them all what only the Oracle gave us the boost to do". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi blushed. "Do you really think a little guy like me could do that?" Yami Rena says: "Yes, with or without the Oracle, you were powerful enough to achieve this goal". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "No. I could have never completed this without you. Remember it was you who set the real evil me free." Yami Rena says: "Maybe, but your strength, your power would have unlocked your true potential that Yami held back. I would have stood by you no matter what". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "You really think so?" Yami Rena says: "I know so Yuugi, no doubt about it". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: He still looked unsure, so without Yuugi noticing Kaiba made a motion to her to try to control his mind to forcibly make him understand. Because of how deeply Yuugi loved her, it was quite unlikely he'd offer any resistance at all. Yami Rena says: Anzu nodded at Kaiba before turning back to Yuugi, touching his chin with a couple of fingertips, gently lifting it, looking into his eyes, speaking in a hypnotic tone. "I know you would have been strong Yuugi, locking Jonouchi and Yami away like you did, that was proof enough, you are strong enough, you would have been either way. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I..don't know." Yuugi replied hesistantly. Yami Rena says: "Listen to me, you would have, you've proved it already, you will prove it again, no matter what you think, what the voices of doubt in your mind say, you should believe me". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi looked at her slightly fearful. (She should probably assert the fact that she rules over him so to speak) Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, listen, the doubt is something the Oracle was trying to stop. I need you, you need me. This is one of those moments where you need me most, I need you to listen, to not resist, accept my words, the words of the Oracle". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes my queen..you rule over me correct?" Yami Rena says: "In a way, I guess you could say that. But there are moments when you rule over me much more". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "How my evil queen?" Yami Rena says: "Because when I'm scared and unsure, I know you use the same tactics on me that I use on you, to bring me back like I bring you back". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I will do as you say." Yami Rena says: "Thats my good king" Anzu giggled. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Hr nodded his amythest eyes looking dull. Yami Rena says: Anzu patted him on the head before turning to Kaiba with a smile, leading the way back to the tower. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Kaiba smirked softly as he led them there. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as Kaiba led them to the doorway leading inside the tower, she turned back to Yuugi with the same look, slipping her hand into his. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi smiled, though his eyes were still dull as she kept her control. Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled as she moved towards the door, pulling him along with her as she entered the tower for the first time. Yuugi giggled softly, as he kissed Anzu's cheek. Anzu giggled as Yuugi kissed her gently, she also kissed back, looking upwards at the doors about when she stood up again, turning to Kaiba, he seemed to be their navigator, after all, he had helped in building the structure. Yugi smiled. Anzu smiled back before turning to Kaiba. "Where do we get prepared for the wedding You'll have to led us each to our our rooms and then to the place where we get married" she called sternly. "Yes Anzu-chan." "Take Yuugi to where he needs to be, I'll wait here and look out for if anyone returns with more recruits". "What exactly would I have to do?" Yuugi asked innocently. "Just get ready for the wedding silly" Anzu giggled. "Kaiba will explain the rest to you while you get sorted, about how the ceremony goes and everything". "All right but I must admit I’m a little nervous." "That's perfectly normal, everyone gets nervous when it comes to their weddings" Anzu giggled. "Yeah that’s true." Anzu waved, smiling innocently before turning away, watching out with a stern look as she awaited any other arrivals. Yuugi walked off with Kaiba calmly leading him to his room. Anzu grinned darkly as Yuugi and Kaiba left the room, she couldn't help but feel that the wedding would secure their power over the rest of the world when their followers would begin to manipulate the others. Kaiba led him to a rather lavish room with a really large bed and a closet with Yugi's trademark clothes along with a few tuxedos, not that Yuugi would ever use them he thought with a chuckle. Anzu folded her arms across her chest, everything was going according to plan, it wouldn't be long before Yuugi would truly be hers and the world would bow to them. After about 20 minutes Raphael and Varon showed up. "Raphael. Varon" Anzu called proudly. "How are things?" "See for yourself." They replied as a group of about 100 each were on opposite sides of them. "Good work boys" Anzu laughed. The 2 former Doma duellists blushed. "Get ready, we've got a wedding to finish preparing for, you two are a vital part of our plans, make sure no-one tries to tempt you with lies, I want you both there because of the help you've been". "As your best er warriors mate?" Varon guessed. "Sure, let's do that" Anzu replied. "Kaiba's the best man, you guys should have important roles too". "Please, we've hardly done anything plus I've already lost my soul twice." Varon joked. "Don't worry about that Varon. And you've recruited so many people, you were around when Jonouchi and the other pests were interfering, you have done a lot" Anzu replied cheerfully. Varon blushed, bowing to show respect. "You honour me my dear queen.." Anzu giggled, she liked that, she looked back at the others behind Raphael and Varon, grinning darkly as the plan was just getting closer to completion with every soul taken, every second that passed. Yuugi came out dressed in a small, but casual white tuxedo. "Anzu-chan.." He called sweetly. "Yuugi" she gasped, blushing as she stared at him, giggling at how adorable he looked at her. "Oh my, you look so sweet, I should've known you'd look great". Yuugi blushed dark scarlet. "Well, you should go get dressed yourself my love." "Alright then my king, wait for me" Anzu giggled before walking away by Kaiba's side. "I will my sweet." He called softly as he blew her a kiss. Anzu blew a kiss back just before she left the room, she smiled as the door closed, turning to Kaiba with a sincere smile. "Alright then Kaiba, lead the way" she giggled. "Are you always this giggly?" Kaiba teased, grinning softly. "I don't know, I've never been married before, remember" Anzu replied with a grin of her own. Kaiba smirked a bit. "Trust me you giggle quite often." He teased. Raphael smiled at Yuugi as he returned with Mokuba and Noa. "How's it feel that soon you'll be married little man?" He teased. "Maybe I do and maybe I don't, it's all a matter of the mood" Anzu replied. Yuugi blushed. "I'm a little nervous but other than that I'm fine." He told the guardian duellist. "True. did you ever release Mai?" Kaiba asked. "Mai, I haven't seen her in a while, I'm sure she was released and sent out elsewhere, maybe she can come along" Anzu replied sternly, glaring ahead. "What’s to glare about?" "I don't know, I just have a bad feeling about something". "Pre-wedding jitters?" "Maybe, I don't know. I just feel something else" Anzu replied, the glare fading slowly. Kaiba put his arm around her. "Don't worry." "I won't" Anzu sighed. He didn't know what possessed him to do so, but he gently hugged her not expecting her to return it since she was Yugi's fiancée. Anzu stared up at Kaiba, leaning her head against his chest, staring out of his embrace, she knew this wasn't right, but someone felt close ot her without the Oracle forcing them together. Unbeknownst to them, Yuugi had been watching but wasn't angry as he knew why Kaiba hugged his girlfriend. Anzu sighed as she stood there, she didn't smile, she didn't look happy, she just stood there, gazing aimlessly at the corridor down from them. "Anzu?" Yuugi asked from where he was. "Yuugi" Anzu gasped, pushing away from Kaiba as she looked around for him. "Back here." He called with a giggle from behind her. Anzu turned her head back to see Yuugi standing there, she sighed, looking downwards in disappointment. "It's ok Anzu. I know." He looked at Kaiba. "Thank you." "Yuugi" Anzu whispered, staring at him, surprised her wasn't annoyed with Kaiba, let alone thanking him "Yes?" "Nothing, I was just thinking" Anzu sighed, turning away. He jogged over to her side. "What's up Yuugi?" she muttered, turning t o him. "What's wrong my cutie?" "Nothing's wrong, I was just thinking, I thought you wouldn't like it if Kaiba and I were doing that" "Normally i would've of but Kaiba was only trying to help." "I see" Anzu replied with a smile. Yuugi smiled as he led her to her room. Anzu smiled as she was escorted to the room, she nodded gratefully before turning away and moving inside. Yuugi winked in a seductive way before leaving. Anzu's smile faded after she close the door, she looked up sternly, something didn't feel right, she had to get this done quickly before whatever it was interfered with hers and Yuugi's wedding. Yuugi shivered as he swore he heard Jou's voice. 'Yuugi, listen to me' Jonouchi's voice rang out. 'If you want to go through with this, you're making the biggest mistake of your life. You can't do it'. 'Jou you’re nuts. Anzu is my girlfriend!' 'Yuugi, don't tell me you're just completely discarding Yami just began he wasn't with you on the Oracle front' 'I am now get lost your ruining the most important day of my life!' 'Yuugi, how can you? Yami's been through everything with you, he did everything, gave up how he was, joined the Oracle just to try and help you!' 'How are you even talking to me?' 'Listen, that doesn't matter, what does matter is that I need you to face the truth, stop hiding behind your dream world, you have to come here, to see what you've done, the pain you've caused' 'Get out of my head!' 'No Yuugi, I won't, not until you face it and wake up' Yuugi screamed. 'Yuugi, listen to me, don't do it, don't fight me, don't fight us. You have to understand what you did, shut up and listen to me for a moment' 'No! I tell you you’re evil!' 'I'm not Yuugi, listen to me, I just need you to wake up. You do realize Yami's been left in such a state he can barely move? You have to listen, this has gotten out of hand, by a long shot, come here and I'll show you' 'No!!" "Anzu help me." Yuugi called, anguished. 'Yuugi, listen, if you call her, it's all over for Yami! Can't you hear me? This is the guy that did everything just to help you, to protect you. If you let this happen, I'll never forgive you, he'll never forgive you. You'll be left with the guilt forever‘. "I HAVE NO GUILT!!' Yuugi roared as he called for Anzu again. "Yuugi" Anzu called as she rushed out. 'Yuugi! You'll kill him, are you freaking deaf? He needs you here now, I swear, if you let him down and someone frees me, I'll make sure you understand what you lost. Listen to me damn it' Jonouchi screamed. "Anzu help me!" Yuugi called fearfully, doing all he could to ignore Jou. "Yuugi, what is it? Well whatever it is, fight it!" Anzu called. 'Yuugi, how can you still be fighting me? I'm on your side, just in a different way, just don't fight, please, I need to talk to you here‘. "It's Jonouchi!" He called. "What about him?" Anzu called. 'Yuugi, damn it!' Jonouchi screamed. "He's trying to turn me against you!" "What do you mean? He's gone, I was afraid this would happen?" Anzu hissed. 'Yuugi, what the hell am I doing Talking to a brick wall I need you to come here, just to see Yami if you really are going to let him fade away' Jonouchi continued to yell. "Will you please shut up?!" Yuugi spat. 'No, not until you freaking listen to me, I can't be quiet until you hear me. You're clearing not hearing me, just come and see Yami, at least make that a reason, he needs you' Jonouchi called, ending with a sigh. "Yes but I no longer need him!" 'If that's the way you feel, just come and say goodbye' Jonouchi shouted, sounding almost in tears. "That I will do!" 'Good, then do it now, if you wait too much longer, it'll be too late' "Fine whatever lead me to him." Jonouchi closed his eyes, ignoring the area around him, he just focused on getting Yuugi's spirit into it, just to show him what it was needed to before it was too late. "What?" Yuugi spat. Jonouchi opened his eyes, hoping he had brought Yuugi to the place quickly, he looked up, surrounding them was a larger version of the room Dartz held the souls of the trapped in, he stood at the centre of the Seal that was laying across much of the floor. He sighed and looked downwards, Yami was laying at his feet, his back almost touching Jonouchi's trainers, he looked slightly curled up, his legs drawn inwards close to his chest, his arms reaching out before coming back, his hands laying limply on the ground, his eyes stayed shut like he was sleeping. "So what? He's sleeping." Yuugi growled even though he knew otherwise. "It's more serious than that Yuugi" Jonouchi sighed. "He's literally fading from existence, the signs aren't showing yet, but he will. You'll see if you care". "I don’t care!" Jonouchi looked up from Yami, staring ahead, tears forming in his eyes, he turned to Yuugi, glaring at him. "What the hell? What is your problem? You can't even remember who he is, that's why you don't care. I bet you that's it" he yelled. "Actually I do remember I just don’t care," He said laughing spitefully. "What the hell is this?" Jonouchi yelled. "I'd kill you if I could get to you, I can't see how you want to see the person that was closest to you completely vanish!" "He isn't! Anzu is now!" 'What the hell has the Oracle done to you? When you could break through, when Yami was in trouble, you'd see the truth. Why the hell cant you now?" "Because unlike you, I want to save this world not destroy it!" "Y-Yuugi" Yami groaned weakly, pushing himself around to face Yuugi. "Heh heh, yes?" "Wh-what's happened to you?" Yami whispered. "Listen, I-I need you to do one thing for me". "What?" The wicked duellist asked, hovering over him the Oracle burning bright on his forehead. "You ha-have to give up the Orac-cle, it's tearing you a-apart". "That is never gonna happen." "Yu-Yuugi, where i-is my ai-aibou?" "He's still right here just not the one you knew." "No Yuugi, fight it". Yuugi laughed. "You are so pathetic!" Yami pulled himself forwards slightly more, panting from the lack of energy left, Jonouchi looked down at him worriedly, Yami reached out for Yuugi despite the Oracle's barrier, his pupils became solid black. "What the.." Jonouchi lowered himself own by Yami's side, laying a hand on Yami's back. "Ai-aibou" Yami whispered. "I told you, he's running out of time, much quicker than you understand". "Again, I don't care damn it!" "What the hell is your problem? Maybe you should try fighting back against the Oracle before Yami dies, you know its going to happen, I bet the real Yuugi will break through just a little too late" Jonouchi spat. "You don't get it do ya? The Yuugi you think you knew is long gone." "Obviously, because the real Yuugi would care that his best friend is dying. Yami would have understood you loved Anzu before the Oracle even arrived, he said he was sure you two would go far together. But you couldn't let that happen, you couldn't trust him, you went blind because of how scared you were that he wouldn't let you have your happy end. Well thanks a lot you jerk". Yuugi just turned around and walked away. "Yuugi, get back here. If he has to die, you should at least watch, just to get it out of your sick twisted system". Yuugi giggled, his mind being so wicked by the Oracle that his mind perceived it as a compliment. "I'll kill you" Jonouchi yelled. "You think this is funny You're other half dying like this I swear Yuugi, Anzu won't forgive you, I bet she wanted to keep Yami alive". "Wrong." "I don't know what happened to you, but no even the Oracle you have made you into something like this". "Yes it can.." Yuugi replied. "Something's not right, you cared about Yami when he was in trouble. What about when the Oracle took over him and all you could do was call out to him Even when the Oracle's had control of you you've been concerned for him" Jonouchi shouted. Yuugi growled wishing he had a muzzle. "You little bastard, I can't believe you'd betray us like this. Especially this far". "You brought this among yourself. This is my world now." "How did we cause this? By caring about you? You little brat, we did nothing to cause you to jump off the deep end" Jonouchi snapped. Yuugi chuckled before it became cackling. Jonouchi bore his teeth as each jaw locked against the other, glaring at Yuugi as if he held the fury of the entire world. To see Yuugi like this, it drove him mad, he just wanted to knock some sense back into his head, just try and see the old Yuugi again. "I haven’t gone nuts, I’m completely sane." "Yes you have, this isn't you, just an Oracle clone, a cover by that psychopathic crap. I don't know why you changed so much, but I know that you were never like this when you really were sane". Yuugi snickered as he walked away again, ignoring Jou the best he could. "Yuugi, you can't escape" Jonouchi yelled, throwing his fists against the barrier of the Seal, yelling out each time he did. "You haven't understood a word I've said and when it happens, it'll be too late, you'll realize then, when the Oracle leaves you". "It never shall!" "Exactly, you're too blind to let it go". Yuugi ignored him as he stepped inside with Anzu and slammed the door. "Yuugi!" Jonouchi screamed. "No Jonouchi" Yami whispered. "He's made his choice. When I leave, tell him...tell him I tried. And I'm sorry for failing him". Anzu smirked as Yuugi returned from wherever Jonouchi had led him. "Those 2 don't know when to quit.." "What did they say? Who was with Jonouchi?" "Yami. And basically tried to turn me against you." "What do you mean? They always try that, but what did they say" "That I’m insane." "Heh, morons. I bet they made some stupid threat about something that could happen too" Anzu laughed. Yuugi laughed as well. "They did, but I didn't believe a word." "Silly boys". "I know, what losers." "Yes, they're jealous. And whatever Jonouchi said was surely a lie". "You’re right." "Yeah, I wonder what lame idea he came up with this time" she growled, looking away. "Let's not worry. Do you need some more time to prepare?" "Only to get changed, I'll be fine". "I can hardly wait to see you in your dress." He teased with a giggle. "Awww you're so sweet" Anzu giggled. "Yes I know. I've loved you since we were little after all." "Yes and I've felt the same". "Really?" "Of course I have. I wouldn't lie to you". "Would you to Jou?" He teased. "Given how far he's gone, at the moment I would. After all, its not like he's dying, he'll probably try to fight his way back. I admire him for fighting, but he need to learn when to give it a break" she sighed. "I think he did." "You think he did what?" Anzu asked curiously, turning to Yuugi. "Gave up." "I don't understand. What do you mean? When I last heard him, he sounded full of fight, I don't how or why he would simply quit". "Because he knows i have too deep a bond with the Oracle and you." "But he knew that before, that doesn't sound like something that would stop him so late after he knew for so long" Anzu replied. "Don't get me wrong, but I feel like you're hiding something". "I'm not. Do you want me to step out so you can change?" "Sure". Yuugi smiled and stepped outside, leaning against a nearby wall. Anzu smiled as she looked across at a dress laying nearby, close to the traditional kimono, she walked over to it, beginning her preparations for the moment to come. Yuugi hummed a tune as he patiently waited. Anzu smiled at the reflection in the mirror, wearing the elegant dress, she turned to the door, ready to see what Yuugi would think, walking along slowly. He continued humming. Anzu laid her hand on the handle, pushing it down slowly and opening the door, blushing as she caught a glimpse of Yuugi's hair before moving out. He turned around and blushed madly at the sight of his future bride in a pure white wedding dress. "What do you think?" she asked sweetly, in a tone sounding much like the old Anzu. "It's beautiful.." "Thanks, you look mighty handsome yourself sweetie". Yuugi blushed darkly. "Awww, you're so sweet the way you do that" Anzu giggled. "Really?" "Like you couldn't? Of course you do, my little king". Yuugi kissed her cheek. Anzu kissed back, blushing, she couldn't feel more happy. "I love you." "I love you too". Yuugi smirked. "What's with that?" Anzu giggled. "You’re so evil…I love that." "You're so much more evil. I could almost hear Jonouchi screaming at you as you left him and Yami behind. I love how you could do that so calmly". Yuugi giggled. "How sweet." "Not as sweet as you". Yuugi giggled. "Well, I suppose we should do this now, before anything else happens. After all, I don't want to miss out on marrying my special guy". Yuugi smirked. "That look again?" Anzu laughed. "Come on". "Lets do this." "Right, there's nothing I'd rather do". "Let's go." Anzu slipped her hand into Yuugi's, walking ahead proudly smiling back at him Yuugi smiled back as they soon arrived at the altar Kaiba had set up. "Thank you, Kaiba" Anzu spoke to him. Kaiba blushed as he nodded. "Ready Yuugi? This will end everything that people thought about us, this is where we make our mark". "Oh yes our destiny is nearly complete." "Yes, no-one can stop us". Yuugi grinned wickedly as the ceremony began. "What's with your smile?" Anzu asked cheerfully. "I suppose this is just something to get at the others too. As wall as making our bond eternal and our takeover secure". "That's correct." "Good" Anzu whispered, kissing him on the cheek quickly. Yuugi hummed softly as the ceremony continued. Anzu smiled proudly, she couldn't believe the day had come, the day she had always dreamt of, her and Yuugi as one. Yuugi felt the same, he just personally didn’t like wearing a tuxedo. Anzu smiled around, the room looked similar to the traditional Shinto shrine that would usually be used in a wedding, she nodded to Kaiba, liking the work he had done Kaiba grinned as the I do parts of it began. "Mutou Yuugi, do take Mazaki Anzu as your lawful wedded wife to love and to hold, for richer or poor, for better or worse, in sickness and health til death do you part?” "I do." "Mazaki Anzu, do take Mutou Yuugi as your lawful wedded wife to love and to hold, for richer or poor, for better or worse, in sickness and health til death do you part?" "I do" Yuugi smiled. "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride" the priest added. Yuugi giggled, kissing her. Anzu kissed back, kissing deeply, they had done it, her dream had been fulfilled. "It's all over for our enemies now." "Yes, nothing can stop us, we're together forever and no-one can break our union". Yuugi cackled evilly softly. Anzu stroked his hair as he laughed, smiling gently as she blushed at him, it really was her most treasured dream made real. "We did it." "Yes we did". "Shall we…Motou Anzu?" He asked with a giggle. "Shall we what?" Anzu giggled at her new name. "Go out for awhile. Just you and me." "Sure. I'd like that". "Lead the way." Anzu giggled as she led Yuugi from the room, making her way slowly to the entrance to the tower. Yuugi smiled, winking gently at her. Anzu winked back, she couldn't be more happy, to think that her dream of being with Yuugi had reached beyond what she had thought of. "I love you." "I love you too, my true king" Anzu giggled, kissing him on the cheek. Yuugi giggled back. Anzu smiled brightly at Yuugi, he looked so happy, so confident, he was hers, she was his, they were together finally. "This is the best day of my life." "It's mine too" Anzu replied happily. Jonouchi sighed as he looked downed, Yami panted weakly, his eyes closed, his head laying on Jonouchi's knee. "This is bad. And what's worse, I completely forgot about the link between you guys, because of the way your spirits work, when you go, so does Yuugi. Anzu'll think we planned this, she's so damn blind, I don't know how Yuugi forgot about this". "But since our spirits are separated, he's protected." "That can't be, I thought the Puzzle linked you guys together. Your spirits aren't really separated, are they" "Yes." "I don't get it. I thought he'd understand everything when I told him how bad things will get. It's not like they can pull you back, there has to be something we can do". "Too late. Because they married we're separated for good." "No" Jonouchi called. "It can't be, we don't have much time left, if you go and he doesn't realize, that means your tries were in vain. I won't let that happen, isn't there anyway we can get him to realize" "No.. He's gone Jou." "No, there has to be something. You'll be the one that'll go. I won't let that happen. There has to be something. Please Yami, you can't give up" Jonouchi cried out, tears building in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Jou." "No Yami, I won't let this happen, you can't die. Then they'll really win, no, no damn it. I won't let them. I won't let you fade away into nothing". "It's too late.." "No, stop saying that damn it, you can't give up now, not like this, not after everything". "It's over." "No Yami, no its not" Yami held his hand up weakly for Jou to stop. Jonouchi gritted his teeth, tears building in his eyes, he wiped them away. "But Yami..." "I mean it." "No Yami. You can't give up" Jonouchi cried. "Jou...stop it." "But why give up?" Jou sighed. "This isn't right. This isn't like you". "Yes it is." "No it's not, you never give up, you always fight, even when we lost Yuugi before. Damn it, why won't you fight?" Jonouchi cried out. "There's no point. They won." "Yami, shut up with that talk, they haven't won. But they win the instant you die. And you will die if you give up like this" Jonouchi called. He grabbed a fist full of Yami's shirt, pulling him upwards, watching as the Pharaoh just hung limply, wondering if he really was going to fight back. "Let me go.." "No Yami, not until you fight, you have to admit they can still lose". "They cant lose.." "Yami!" Jonouchi yelled. "They can and if we fight them they will". "Jou, face it man he's given up." Came a familiar voice. Jou clenched his fist tighter, he looked upwards, trying to see where the source of the voice was. "Honda.." Yami whispered. "What? Honda? But he hasn't been around at all. How did he get here anyway?" Jou asked. "I walked over here.." Honda replied. "What do you mean? I thought our souls were somewhere else, hardly in walking distance from Domino. Can you get us out of here Honda?" "My soul wasn’t taken, genius." "I can tell that. Just see if you can find something to get rid of this Seal around us, we can get back to Yuugi before Yami completely dies here" Jou growled. "You know I can’t get rid of it. Only someone with the Oracle Stone can“. "Great, only Anzu and Yuugi have those. And Yuugi's lost his mind to the point where he doesn't care about Yami dying. See if you can get at least one here, tell them something like they should see us suffer". "All right." "Hurry Honda, we don't have much time". He nodded, and took off. Jonouchi turned back to Yami, their only hope laid in Honda and hoping he could convince Yuugi and Anzu to come, maybe seeing Yami in such a state could make sense come to at least one. Jonouchi sighed, if that didn't work, they were both lost. Yuugi looked around thinking he heard something. Anzu turned to Yuugi. "What's the matter?" "I could of sworn I heard something." "It was probably nothing". "I don’t know.." "Yuugi, Anzu!" Honda called, rushing towards them. "Told you." "Yuugi, listen to me, I have something to say". He didn't speak again until he reached them, slowly quickly before halting, he panted, breathing in the air he needed, smiling darkly at them, trying to give them a front that he was on their side. Yuugi arched an eyebrow. "I'm listening." "I got a message from Jonouchi. He and Yami are really suffering, he wants you to come and set them free. He knows you won't listen, but going there, you could at least see it all, watch them". "Why?" "Think about it, Yami's practically finished anyway, you could see the big mouth Jonouchi finally squirm and submit until he shares the same fate. I thought you'd want to see that". "I do, but I have to be cautious." "What do you mean?" "I must choose my actions carefully." "I don't understand. It's not like they can do anything. They're trapped inside the Seal". "All right all right you convinced me." "Cool, let's do this" Honda laughed confidently. "Sure." "I don't know" Anzu sighed. "It sounds a bit strange, Jonouchi isn't the type to take taunting easily and really not one to let us watch him suffer". "That’s true." "No really, he says Yami wants Yuugi to be there when it happens, just so he can talk to him before he loses the chance. Besides, afterwards, Jonouchi will be broken. That guy really annoyed me, he said I was a backstabber for not being around when everything was happening, I want my own back and with you guys having enough of him, what better way to get back than all three of us at once". "Well...alright." "Right, I'll show you the way I came from after I found them". "All right" Honda began his return, leading Yuugi and Anzu in the direction of the place he had seen Jonouchi and Yami, unsure of how he had found them and made his way to Yuugi and Anzu. He didn't dare question it, he decided just to go with it. Yuugi chuckled softly. "You like this idea Yuugi?" Anzu asked, referring to his chuckle. "Yes I do." "That's good Yuugi, you sounded unsure at first, I'm glad you decided to see Jonouchi at his wit's end" Anzu giggled darkly. "Yes I know." "It'll be worth it". "Yep". Honda stopped close by, Anzu turned to him, grinning as she thought of what Jonouchi must have been thinking. "It's just here I'm sure, I'm not sure how it came to exist here, I'm sure one of you did something, but now you have your wish" Honda stated. "Excellent." "You first my king" Anzu insisted, stepping back. "Oh no, you first my queen." "Okay then" Anzu replied, walking ahead, looking at the walls around as she entered. "Anzu" Jonouchi called. "An-Anzu?" Yami whispered, pushing himself up into a sit. "What?" She asked coldly. "It is her" Jonouchi spat. "She's still under it then?" Yami sighed. "Under what?" She asked with false innocence. "Anzu? You really are alright?" Yami asked. Jonouchi glared at her, unconvinced. "Yeah why?" "I was worried about you, I thought the Oracle held its power over you still. I knew you'd be strong enough to fight". She chuckled, amused at how easily fooled Yami was. "Anzu? What's funny?" Yami asked naively. "Nothing." "I don't understand" Yami sighed. "But then again, I don't understand much lately. Like how you and Yuugi could have been drawn into the Oracle in the first place". "I found your Oracle Stone." "What?" "I found it and Yuugi asked for its power. That’s how." "I know that, he told me. But I don't understand why. I just don't get why you would turn to it, you guys know what it does and how badly it changes people. The real Yuugi and Anzu would have never done such things. Wait, where is Yuugi?" "Right here.." Yuugi said having snuck up behind him. Yami gasped, he turned back, he couldn't tell whether Yuugi was inside the Seal or not, but if the Stone had let him in, then there could have been hope. Yuugi smirked a little. "Yuugi, are you alright? Are you free of the Oracle too?" "Yes." He said giving a sincere lie if there was such a thing. Yami lifted his head, looking at Yuugi with eyes filled with hope, Jonouchi growled, glaring at Yuugi. "So you'll help us out? Yami's on his last legs enough, maybe you two could reconnect if you're really free" he suggested, a hint of distaste underneath. "Maybe.." "What do you mean ‘maybe’? You know the state he's in" Jonouchi called. "Yuugi, are you alright?" Yami asked. He nodded. "I was worried, Yuugi, what are we going to do? The Oracle is still about in Domino, our link hasn't been restored, I thought when the Oracle was gone, we'd be able to restore it". "Interesting.." "What do you mean?" Yami asked. "That we can’t restore the link." "What do you mean its interesting? It's normal for us, Yuugi, I think the Oracle has had a lasting effect on you". "What’s that mean?" "You're still not acting like my aibou, I'm worried, maybe being bonded so long has changed you" Yami replied, sounding desperate. "Could be." He replied coolly, "Yuugi, tell me, if something's up, if something's going on, you have to say, I have to know if you're alright or if the Oracle has done anything to you" Yami called. "I'm fine." Yami stared up at him, concern evident, Jonouchi growled before looking back up at Yuugi. "Then let him back in, he needs you" he called. "Shall we reveal our secret?" Yuugi whispered to Anzu, "Secret?" Yami whispered, turning his head to Anzu. "Well my sweet?" Anzu nodded, Jonouchi growled turning back to Yuugi. "What's this secret you two are on about? I bet you're really with the Oracle and are playing with us, that's what you did before" he shouted. Yuugi smirked. "Yuugi" Jonouchi growled. "What is it?" "Tell them my queen." "Haven't you noticed the rings? We're bonded together. And speaking of bonded, Jonouchi, you were right" Anzu laughed. Jonouchi and Yami's eyes widened in hearing the words, their bottom jaws dropping. "And because of that we're now eternally bonded to the Oracle!" Yuugi said cackling wickedly. Yami groaned, hearing the words, pressing his hands against the sides of his head, he couldn't take it, listening to Yuugi's cackle was like being pulled apart piece by piece, he moved his hands over his ears, closing his eyes to block it all out, Jonouchi sighed, watching him while Anzu too cackled. "You’re powerless. This is our world now!" "No Yuugi, snap out of it" Jonouchi called. "This isn't right" "Silence!" Yugi shouted as he fired a beam of Shadow Magic from his hands. "Yami!" Jonouchi called, throwing himself over Yami as the magic headed towards them. Yuugi fired several more blasts. Jonouchi held himself over Yami, wondering what Yuugi was up to, whether he was intending to hit Yami or him or just unnerve them Yuugi cackled in a near-insane tone. "Like the new ability?" He asked, his voice twisted around a bit just like his heart but on a far smaller scale. "Yuugi, stop it" Jonouchi called. "Never." "Yuugi, you have to. You don't know what you're doing, the Oracle has clouded your mind, you don't understand anymore, don't do this" Jonouchi shouted. "Too late check this out." Yuugi replied as he fired a blast into Jou to inject him with his own twisted evil. Jonouchi yelled out as the blast injected into him, Yami stared up at him in horror, Jonouchi smiled back gently. "I'm sorry Yami, I tried to help. Forgive me" he groaned. "Jo-Jonouchi" Yami replied, unsure what he could say. "Your mind belongs to me now Katsuya!" Jonouchi called out before falling deathly silent, Yami's eyes widened when Jonouchi lifted his head, a red glow in his eyes, a dark grin on his face. "No" Yami whispered. Yuugi threw his head back letting out an insane if inhuman cackle. Yami stared up at Yuugi, moving away from Jonouchi who rose and stood beside Yuugi, a wide grin remaining. "Welcome to the team, partner." "Thanks Yuugi". "No problem." "This isn't happening, it can't" Yami muttered to himself. "Jonouchi, Anzu, Yuugi, Kaiba, not all of them, there has to be someone left that can stop this. There just has to be". "Well Malik is still around somewhere not that it means anything." Yuugi replied. "No Yuugi, please listen to me, you have to fight it, please. Don't let this happen" Yami called. "I suggest you be quiet. You’re in no condition to fight." "I know that, that's why I need you to listen. Or else I'll never be in a condition to do anything" Yami sighed. "I know but then that’s the point!" Yuugi cackled. "Yuugi, don't let this happen, you can't lose to this. Let the old Yuugi free, be the true Yuugi again". "I'm the true Yuugi, it's my destiny to conquer this pathetic planet!" "No Yuugi, that wasn't what you were like, this isn't the true you. Let my aibou free, let him go" Yami began to scream, tears building in his eyes, pressing his hands against the sides of his head. "Awww the mighty Pharaoh is gonna cry." Yuugi taunted. "No" Yami protested. "No, I won't, I won't let myself fall to you". "Yes you will." "No I won't" Yami shouted angrily, glaring up at Yuugi. "I won't listen, I won't submit, I won't surrender, I can't let you win. Someone will stop you, if its not me, someone will come and stop you". Yuugi laughed. "Anzu do you hear this?" "Yes I do" Anzu replied laughing. "And he calls us mad" "I know what a loon." "I'm not a loon" Yami protested. "I just believe in what should happen, for the sake of the world, you two aren't like this, this isn't like you. I can't lose you guys like this. Jonouchi as well". Yuugi looked at him confused. "Why wont he give up?" He asked Anzu. "I don't know, he's always been stubborn" Anzu sighed, looking down from Yuugi to Yami with a glare. "I can't give up, I can't believe you're so blind" Yami replied. "I suppose you're just going to wait until my time comes then. There's not many people that can stop you at this point, but they still exist". "You’re nuts.." "How am I the crazy one?" Yami shouted, pushing himself forwards as he glared up at Yuugi. "You're the one that's trying to take over the world with the Oracle, you're the last person I thought would try that". "Heh those who look innocent hide the greatest evil!" "I can see that, I don't care what you say, this isn't like you". "Yes it is." "No Yuugi, it's not, you would have never done anything like this if that damn Oracle hadn't returned". "Uh yes I would have." "Yuugi, quit playing this game, you wouldn't have. Listen to me" Yami began shouting. "Anzu-chan please shut him up." "How should I do that?" she asked in a devious voice. "Come to think of it, I don't think I can from out here, I think only you can because of how you're inside there with him". Yami growled, he couldn't retreat further, his back was already against the Oracle's barrier and he still hadn't been able to rise to his feet, it looked pretty hopeless, he just glared at Yuugi, all he really could do. "Simple use the Oracle's power." "I'll try, but the way you used the Shadow Magic on Jonouchi seemed a lot more effective. I'm not sure what it would do to him, I might set him free by accident" Anzu sighed, ready to try it out". "Go for it." "Alright" Anzu replied uneasily. She began to focus, closing her eyes, trying to think of anything that would stop Yami, something that would shut him up, she began to think back to the Shadow power used against him previously to keep him quiet, whether the Oracle possessed the same power or whether Yuugi would have to step in there was a different matter. The Oracle began to glow on her forehead. Yuugi grinned wickedly. Yami glared at Yuugi, he didn't like what was going to happen, but the feeling below he neck had vanished, he glared at Yuugi, Anzu's start had left him immobile again, he guessed Yuugi was going to enjoy this. "Yuugi, wake up" he called. "I'm plenty awake!" "Stop it Yuugi!" "Go on my king, I'll try and work on that mouth of his, it doesn't want to stop, you can play with him until then" Anzu added darkly. Yuugi giggled wickedly as he nodded. Yami tried to fight against the force, nothing was coming out of it, he glared up at Yuugi, he hadn't felt so helpless and alone for a while now. "Now what" he growled. "You just beat me until Anzu figures out how to stop the rest of me so you use your Shadow Magic like you did on Jonouchi? Make me your mindless slave like him?" he spat. "Perhaps." Yami growled, baring his teeth as he just glared at Yuugi with all the hate he could. "You aren't my aibou, I can barely see my real aibou when I look at your face". "Aww how cute." "And what's so cute about all this?" Yami growled. "Your little insults." "Oh really?" "Yes." Anzu giggled darkly as the Oracle grew brighter on her head, Yami growled again as he tried to resist, only for his jaws to be locked shut, his teeth still baring as he glared at Yuugi all the same. Yuugi grinned as he watched. "There we have it Yuugi, he can't resist whatever you throw at him now" Anzu laughed looking up at Yuugi. Yuugi laughed as well as he started to use his own dark magic. Yami could do nothing but just glare as he could see Yuugi's magic appear, it was like Anzu said, he didn't have anything he could do to defend himself, let alone fight back. Yuugi's magic surged into Yami's body as he laughed. Yami groaned as he felt the magic affecting him, his head lowered a fraction, other than that, he was powerless, he couldn't fight back, he couldn't protest, he just had to sit there and endure it. Yuugi kept laughing. Yami felt his chest tighten, he closed his eyes, trying not to let whatever it was get him too hard, Anzu also giggled as she watched him struggle. Yuugi put his arm around Anzu. "This is fun isn't it?" "Yes it is. What are you going to put him through? He's been a thorn in your side for a long while now" she giggled. "Oh I don’t know maybe a lot of torture first." "That's my Yuugi. Using the Shadow Magic to get at him physically and taunting to get at him mentally and he can't even fight back. I love that, just like I love you". "Yeah I know I’m insane aren’t I?" "You are? I thought that's what Yami was saying. Why are you saying that, even for a joke?" Anzu asked, sounding slightly surprised. "Well I.." Yami made no reaction as he listened without turning back to Yuugi and Anzu. Anzu herself just watched Yuugi, she still looking surprised that he had said such a thing. "Would a sane person do this?" "Do what" Anzu asked. "Like what you're doing to Yami I don't think so, but in a way, aren't you just agreeing to everything he said" Yuugi looked at her for a moment then shook his head quickly. "You’re right, what am I saying.." "You worried me for a minute Yuugi, I thought Yami had really gotten to you" she sighed, turning to Yami, glaring at him. "I wish I could just get rid of him forever.. all he does is disrupt our wonderful plans." "He'll be gone soon enough, Honda told me what Jonouchi said. That Yami was dying out because of the breakdown of your link". "Excellent." "You think that's good" Anzu asked. "Wow, even after all this it surprised me that you accepted it so easily". "Of course it's good I want him gone for good." "Alright then, maybe tormenting him like that will push him quicker". Yami opened his eyes, he couldn't believe what the was hearing, he sighed, looking down at the ground in despair, waiting for Yuugi's footsteps so he could get rid of it before Yuugi came before him again. "Yes you may have the honours my wicked queen." "Alright then, I'll see what I can do, maybe you could use your Shadow Magic to attack him the way you were hitting Jou too" Anzu laughed. "Yes." Yuugi replied using his magic. Anzu grinned as she turned back to Yami, strengthening the force that held him still, wondering what else the Seal would allow her to do while he remained there. She smiled at Yuugi, glad to see him so happy. Yuugi activated his magic making it stronger, Yami groaned as he felt himself pushed against the barrier of the Seal harder, he clenched his teeth, cursing his lack of options. "You’re all mine." 'No Yuugi' Yami though, feeling his back slowly sliding down the Seal's edge. 'Don't do it, please. I'm begging you, I know our mind-link is gone, but if you ever cared about me, about anyone, you'd stop'. "I only care for Anzu and the ones on my side." Yuugi replied, knowing his thoughts despite the lack of the link. Anzu smiled as she looked at Yuugi, proud that he was fighting the person who he would have at one point called his closest friend. She grinned watching Yami slowly sinking towards the ground, the pain in his face shown to Jonouchi would have only made her feel even more proud of their actions. Jou grinned evilly as he watched. Yami breathed deeply as he could feel himself falling, he felt as though his chest was hollow, he tried to lift a hand to clutch a fist full of his shirt, but he couldn't even do that, he kept his eyes closed, he didn't want to open them to find Yuugi right before him, taunting him on how weak he surely looked. "Heh he is so pathetic, right my love?" "Right, he can't do anything but fall to the ground the way he is" Anzu laughed. Yuugi cackled. "I know, what a pathetic weakling." 'Please Yuugi, fight it' Yami though, feeling his elbow softly hit the ground. When will you learn that coward isn’t here?" 'No, I believe...his still here, somewhere' "He isn’t, loser." 'He is, somewhere...somewhere inside you' Yami didn't even turn his head, even if he could, he just stared dully ahead, the world around beginning to spin. "Heh heh.." "Hey Yuugi, if you wanna taunt him, I suggest you come over here and hurry, he looks like he's about to pass out" Jonouchi laughed. "Excellent.." Jonouchi chuckled, Yami just moved his sight's focus to Jonouchi, hearing him with his new found loyalty to Yuugi and Anzu. "Though I still found that brat Alcina fun to mess with." "That's because she'd protest" Anzu laughed. "You could throw her words back at her, but without a chance to talk, Yami's just a mute toy". "I know. It's boring." "Maybe we should let him talk again, he'll barely have anything to pull together for his voice to call". Alcina snickered as she looked at Yami. Anzu turned her head in the direction of the sniggering she heard, she growled, there was someone else here, someone she couldn't be bothered to argue with, but at least Yuugi would have his wish. "Heh so the puppet confronts the puppetmaster." "Yes, maybe we should save the last of Yami until after her". "Yes.." Yuugi replied as Jou pushed her down revealing her diaper. Yami slumped against the floor as Anzu released him, she glared at Alcina. "Oh look, the diaper head returns" she cackled. "Guys whattya talking about with dis?" Jou asked. "She hates it when people talk about her diaper problems, you were under the Rod's control at that point, so its time you had a catch-up session" Anzu laughed. "Shut up!" Alcina hissed. "Calm down, its not our fault you need the diaper to protect your clumsy ass. You moron, why not have a body sized one, that way we could shut you up easily" Anzu laughed. "I just like wearing it!" "Only a baby would like that". "Shut up!!" "Come and make me". She slowly walked toward Anzu. "What's with the approach? Going to wet yourself on me?" Anzu sneered. "Ooh good one." Yuugi said kissing her cheek. Anzu giggled, leaning over to kiss him back quickly, she looked back at Alcina with a dark grin, a glare to match it. "She probably wets her little baby bed every night." Yuugi said, laughing evilly. Anzu laughed along with Yuugi, nodding her head to signal her agreement. Alcina looked at her, confused. "What's the matter? Figured out you're outmatched? Even in the state he's in, Yami is still easily much stronger than you. Give it up baby, you don't belong with the big kids. Or even the little kids in your case" Anzu called. Alcina glared. Anzu sneered at her, al she had done from the beginning was get in the way, Anzu felt like she would like nothing more than to give Alcina what she deserved, absolute defeat and humiliation, she didn't know how a four year old would be dealt with, but she wished she could do it. "Anzu-chan I think I have an idea." Yuugi said. "What's that?" Anzu asked. "Maybe you have to stoop to her level”. "And do what? How do I stoop down to a level so low that its unknown?" "Well maybe you have to act her age to get in her head." "I see" Anzu sighed. "Come on it'll be fun." "I guess it'll be worth it" Anzu replied, still not sounding like she'd enjoy it. "That’s my girl." "So, what do you say Alcina? How do you insult someone?" Anzu mumbled, folding her arms. "Just point out their weaknesses." "You mean like your baby diaper? That's yours". "What?" "That's your weakness, Yuugi and I have been able to play on that for a while now, so if anything, we've already gotten inside your head". "No. I only wear it for certain reasons." "I have another idea." Yuugi said, his voice gleeful. "What's this one?" "We hypnotize her into telling us why she wears her diaper then we make her do the things she told us." Anzu laughed. "Oh that's a good one Yuugi, I should've thought of that" she chuckled. Yuugi smirked. "Isn't it?" "Of course, I really do like it, you want to do it or should I" "You my love." "Alright then, give me a minute and I'll get to work on her" she replied. She walked towards Alcina, grinning darkly as she towered over her. "Ready to play?" Alcina giggled a little darkly as she nodded. "Good" Anzu replied, starting her voice's hypnotic tone. "You're going to admit it, you know its the truth. That you do wear a diaper, escape the truth all you like, but its there. You're a baby for wearing it and you'll never grow up. "I'm only a baby.." "That's a good girl, now just keep admitting your problems, you weaknesses. Tell Jonouchi all about them, I have to talk to Yuugi a sec". She turned back to Yuugi, signalling him to join her. Yuugi walked over, grinning evilly. Anzu smiled as Yuugi made his way over, keeping an ear open for Alcina's confessions. "What do you want to know?" "I was just thinking about what we're going to do about Yami. We can't let this brat be there when he dies. And even afterwards, there is the matter of the battle he's been having with Bakura. He won't have his memories or anything, he hasn't even moved since I released him. Are you sure you want to force him all the way?" she whispered, watching Yami laying close to the Seal's edge. "Yep." "Alright then, just wanted to make sure you were ready for something like that. There's no going back once he's gone, we wont be able to get him back again". "I know but lets focus on the baby, okay?" "Alright then, we can't spend too long on her though". "Aww.." "I know, I'd like to too, but the thing is, we don't know when Yami's going to fade away, we're only quickening the process, he could start any second". "What do you want to know?" Alcina repeated. "Anything" Anzu replied confidently, turning back to her. "Ask her why she wears them." Yuugi told her with a snicker. "Good one. Why do you wear them then" "Because I like them.. and I haven’t been potty-trained yet so sometimes I wet my diaper by accident." Alcina replied not realizing how much mocking she'd receive. Anzu tried to hold a laugh in, but hearing the words from Alcina's very mouth sent her and Jonouchi into a fit of laughing. "What did she say? I didn't catch that." Yuugi replied. "She said...she said she likes them. And hasn't been potty-trained and has accidents" Anzu laughed before her laughter grew to the point where she couldn't speak. Yami lifted his head from the floor, watching the three of them with a smile, he felt dazed, but seeing them happy, even at the expense of others, he couldn't help but think of the old days when they were sane. "Oh my god.." Yuugi managed to say before falling over laughing very hard. Yami smiled as he watched Yuugi hit the ground laughing, Jonouchi and Anzu were also in hysterics. "What’s funny?" Asked the hypnotized 4-year old. "N-nothing" Anzu laughed. "Tell her anyway my baby." Yuugi urged. "You just confessed everything to us". "Bet dere's more, Yuge." Jou replied. "I agree" Anzu laughed. "Tell us if there's anything else" "Well.. its just I wear them because they’re comfortable and all." "I don't know if there is" Anzu sighed in disappointment turning back to Yuugi. "You mean besides that I don’t want to be potty-trained?" She replied as Yuugi fell over laughing again. Anzu giggled as Yuugi threw himself to the ground. Yami also enjoyed watching Yuugi laugh at the young girl, he smiled proudly of him, she was getting what she deserved, although he missed the old Yuugi dearly. "Oh man she’s more of a diaper queen than I thought." Yuugi said through his laughter. "Yeah I know" Anzu giggled. "I have a way to humiliate her even more." "How's that" Anzu laughed quietly. Evil Yuugi says: "We dress her up even more like a baby." Yami Rena says: "Haven't we done that" Anzu asked. "Besides, that'll take too long. How about you do that and I'll check on Yami" She turned back to see Yami watching them, she smiled at seeing him up, he looked at her uneasily, feeling slightly unnerved by her look. Evil Yuugi says: "He cant do anything will you relax?" Yami Rena says: "He's already awake. I didn't expect for him to be up for a while now. Besides, it'll be fun to toy with both of them at the same time". Evil Yuugi says: "Ooh your right." Yami Rena says: "So you work on her and I'll start on Yami again" Evil Yuugi says: "Sure." Yami Rena says: Anzu grinned as she moved away from Yuugi and Alcina, signalling Jonouchi to follow her as they made their way to Yami. He growled, glaring up at them from the ground. Evil Yuugi says: "Alcina come to Yuugi little baby.." Yuugi taunted. (btw can u do alcina Yami Rena says: Alcina follwed Yuugi obediently, staring dully ahead as she moved. "How you doing down there Yami" Anzu teased. "That's not funny" Yami hissed, glaring up at her, balling his fists tightly. Evil Yuugi says: Alcina walked to him, still hypnotized. Yami Rena says: "I think its about time we showed someone that they can't keep this up" Anzu chuckled. The Oracle began to glow brightly on her forehead, Yami found himself pulling up into a sit before thrown back slightly, his back and head crashing into the edge of the Seal. Yuugi giggled. Alcina made no reaction to Yugi's giggle. Yami felt himself slide down towards the ground again, Anzu grinned as she began to the power to hold him back. He could feel his arms go numb, the rest of his body quickly falling victim. Yuugi slowly stripped her of her clothes, grinning wickedly. Yami Rena says: Yami growled, he couldn't let them win like this again, he began to shake as he fought back the power, Anzu gasped, trying to fight back with her own strength. "Aww the little baby is quiet now." Yuugi taunted. Anzu glared at Yami as he seemed less affected by the power, he growled at her as he struggled, seemingly having gained back some energy from his rest. She couldn't risk annoying Yuugi by calling on him, she'd just have to wait and see, applying more pressure to her power. Yuugi frowned that she was quiet. Anzu glanced at Yuugi in the corner of her eye, he didn't seem to be enjoying the treatment as much as before. She whipped her head round to Jonouchi. "Go help him, I'll do what I can to stop Yami" she hissed. Jou nodded. Anzu turned back, Yami was slowly pulling his arm away from the edge of the Seal, growling as he did everything he could to fight back against the dark power. Yuugi looked a little frustrated for the moment. Jonouchi made his way over to Yuugi, noting the frustrated look on his face. "What's the matter Yuugi?" Anzu hissed as she and Yami continued to dominate over each over for a few seconds, neither could keep a long hold over the other, both glared into the other's eyes. "She's not giving any reaction that she hates this." "I thought you guys stopped her from being able to do that" Jonouchi replied, surprised that Yuugi wanted resistance. "It makes it more enjoyable when they fight." "If you want fighting then you might want to help Anzu". "Why?" "Yami's found a way to fight back, if anything, he's almost winning against Anzu. I think you might need to step in with your Shadow power to hold him back. Like those things you were shooting at us just before you brought me to this side". "Ah alright then." Anzu glanced back, seeing Yuugi and Jonouchi focusing on her and Yami, she went back to paying attention to the battle, she didn't understand where Yami had regained some spirit to fight back with. "Anzu-chan do you need my help?" Yuugi asked. "It's Yami, he's fighting back in a way I didn't expect, he's gotten more powerful than when we arrived, I can't hold him back much longer". "No problem watch this." Yuugi replied as the power of a dark dragon flew into him. Yami stared up, both angered and worried about the dark dragon he had just felt entering Yuugi, he growled, he had to remain defiant to their demands, he couldn't fall to their power, not without a real fight. Yuugi laughed wickedly. Yami growled again in response to Yuugi's laugh, he twisted his torso in another attempt to wriggle free of the power. The dragon's force inside Yuugi seemed to make the Oracle's force about 10 times stronger. Yami groaned when he could feel the power growing stronger, Anzu chuckled darkly as she watched. Alcina looked as though she was breaking out of the control. Jonouchi glanced at Alcina as he noticed the control over her began to weaken. Yami groaned more as the power began to strengthen around him. "You belong to me understand?" "No" Yami replied, the strain in his voice. "You can't own anyone, you can't Yuugi". "Yes I can, you fool." "You won't own me, I won't let you" Yami growled, twisting more as he tried to struggle further against the power. "Fine then I’ll just eradicate your soul!" "No Yuugi, fight back against it". "No." "Yuugi, I know you're in there somewhere, surely you've got to be fighting. Please Yuugi, don't let this happen". "Oh but I will!" Yuugi laughed wickedly. Yami growled, without any idea what Yuugi was planning, without any idea what had happened to the Yuugi he had known, he feared what was ahead for his once-pure aibou "Soon your soul will be completely destroyed!" "Damn, I can't let this happen" Yami growled, talking quietly to himself. "If I'm destroyed here, there'll be no-one to help the real Yuugi". "That’s the point!" "No, there has to be something" Yami called, waiting a moment before grinning. "Fine, destroy me, see what happens afterwards, you'll feel the guilt, the pain, you'll realize what you do. The real Yuugi is who I care about, but you're not even Yuugi, you're just a demon called the Oracle, using his body. So see how strong you are over Yuugi when you don't have me to kick around". "That’s weird why did he submit so easily?" Yuugi whispered to Anzu. "I don't know, but that smug look on his face makes me wonder, he doesn't look like he's submitted, he's daring you if anything" Anzu replied. "Should I?" "See what you feel like" Yami laughed. "You'll only realize when it's too late". "He really is nuts”. "Go on then" Yami shouted, grinning, despite what he knew he was leading himself to. "And while you're at it, why not shut me up? You've been tempted to while I've been pleading for the real Yuugi". "He has a point." "What point?" Anzu asked. "About shutting him up?" Yuugi nodded. Yami glared at him, his smile fading for a minute, waiting to see what Yuugi's move would be. Yuugi started to use his shadow magic. Yami glared at the magic, gritting his teeth, he was sure with them emerging and his spirit on the brink of collapse, Yuugi wasn't using it as a threat, he was really going for the kill. Yuugi grinned. "Your done." Yami grinned hollowly, he was ready for it to happen and at the same time nervous and disappointed that his tries had failed to bring out the real Yuugi, they had made no difference. Yuugi's magic pulsed stronger. Yami groaned, he wasn't sure what was happening, if the magic was invisible or not, he closed his eyes, waiting for the blows. "Go on, do whatever you feel you need to" he shouted. "Very well!" Yami opened his eyes again, glaring at Yuugi, still clenching his teeth, waiting to see what Yuugi planned to do. Yuugi laughed as he sent a large ball of the evil magic towards his former friend. Yami could feel his heart thumping against his chest as she stared down the ball, he didn't fight the invisible force holding him down, he sat there, glaring, balling his fists as tight as his jaw locked together. "Say goodbye.." Yuugi said as the shadow ball of magic made its impact. Yami called out as the ball hit against him, throwing him further back against the Seal's barrier, he felt as though it were burning away his very spirit, he bit his bottom lip, determined not to let it affect him too much. "Want more?" Yuugi taunted. Yami groaned as he slipped further towards the ground after the ball faded, his body smoking from the impact. He pushed himself up slowly, his body slipping a couple of times from the damage. "B-bring it on" he panted, glaring at Yuugi as his blond bangs lifted themselves out of the way. "As you wish." He said firing another ball. Yami held his breath as the ball slammed into him again, throwing him up from the ground and against the Seal's edge again, he cried out sharply before silencing himself again, dropping to the ground harshly afterwards. "Is he through yet?" Yami pushed himself up slightly, coughing quietly, pushing his forearms against the ground to support himself, he looked up at Yuugi, his breathing deeper, his eyes darker. "N-not even". "Damn, he's stubborn." "Of course I am" Yami chuckled weakly, pushing himself up onto his knees, pressing a hand against his side. "He's nuts.." "Wh-why's that? B-because I'm tr-trying to help you?" Yami replied with a smile. "I don't need help!" "Tha-that's what you th-think". "Really?" "Y-yeah, but g-go ahead, see what m-more you can d-do". "Fine." He said firing another shadow ball. Yami cried out as he was forced from the ground again, hitting to ground at the base of the Seal's barrier, his body shaking slightly. "Why wont he quit.. anyone else would've quit hours ago?" Yami laid on the ground, he looked over his arms that laid before his head, making a circle from their connection to the rest of his body. "Just quit." Yami pushed himself inches higher from the ground, looking at Yuugi tiredly as he laid there. "N-not until m-my ai-aibou can see this". Yuugi groaned as his body seemed to split in half. In reality the 2 sides of him were separating. Yami watched as he could see something happen, what it was he wasn't sure, his eyes beginning to fail him, his vision going blurry from the times he had been knocked about. "Yami is that you?" Asked the really weak hikari half of Yuugi's soul. "Yu-Yuugi" Yami breathed. "A-are you alright?" "I think so are you ok?" "I-I'm fine". "Really?" "R-really" Yami replied with a soft smile. The evil Yuugi glared hatefully at Yami Yami smiled weakly, he could barely feel his body through the pain, his head feeling as though he had been stabbed there, his sight blurry, he didn't know how long he had left. "Yami, what’s happening?" "I-I don't know" Yami replied with a smile. "You’re pathetic.." The evil Yuugi hissed. "Oh really" Yami chuckled. "I was a-able to help the r-real Yuugi. Th-that's what I was hoping f-for". He could feel himself slipping down, his head slowly sinking towards the floor. "Wait a minute there’s two of me?" The good Yuugi asked. "Yes Yuugi, I-I was able t-to set the real you free" Yami whispered. "Then whose my twin?" "Th-that's the evil Yu-Yuugi. The one born fr-from the Oracle, the one th-that's been manipulating you, draining e-everyone down to nothing". "Has he hurt you?" "I-I brought that on m-myself. I-its the others being manipulated that w-was what pushed me on". "Oh no!" The good Yuugi cried. "Wh-what's wrong Yuugi?" Yami asked quietly, his smile holding as his head hovered just inches from the ground. The good Yuugi raced to Yami's side. "Yu-Yuugi? Wh-what is it?" "I can feel your spirit slowly being extinguished.." "D-don't worry about me, I-I'm too worn out to b-be saved anyway. Y-you have to save Anzu and J-Jonouchi". "What happened to them?" "Th-the Oracle got to them l-like it did you". "But aren’t they controlled forever because the evil side of me married Anzu-chan?" "E-exactly, b-but you got out, m-maybe there's hope for them". Yami groaned, laying his head on the ground, staring ahead dully, he felt numb, the world around getting worse from his sight, he couldn't believe it, he felt he was really dying, to leave now, he couldn't stand that, he had to fight for Yuugi. "But I’m weak too.." "Yu-Yuugi, you're the only one. I-if you can't fight back, th-then everything is lost". "What do you mean?" "I-I mean, I can no longer fight, I-I don't even know if I'm going to make. Y-you have to get through t-to the real Anzu and Jonouchi, l-like you did with Marik". "But how?" "I-its all up to you. H-however you want to try, it-its your choice, I'm too weak to be of any use". He looked at his evil twin. Yami looked up at Yuugi, breathing deeper than normal. Anzu glared at him before turning to the evil Yuugi. "What is he looking at?" The evil Yuugi wondered. "I don't know" Anzu hissed, glaring at Yuugi and Yami. "But the Pharaoh's really getting on my nerves separating you like that. Isn't there something we can do about this" "Do you really want me to re-merge with that twerp?" "I don't know, maybe we can weaken him and make it easier if you target Yami more, maybe he'll surrender like Yami did at the beginning of all this". "Yes.. what a brilliant plan." "Good then, since you're the one he's least likely to fight and you use your Shadow Magic to capture and damage him, you should do the honours" Anzu laughed. Evil Yuugi laughed pulling her into a deep kiss. Anzu smiled as she kissed back, it was the perfect way to get to Yuugi before any onslaught his evil doppelganger was about to start. Good Yuugi's eyes welled up with tears at the sight of the evil couple kissing. "Yu-Yuugi! Ignore that, th-they're doing that to get at you" Yami called having pulled himself up, resting the weight of his upper half on his forearms that laid against the ground. The good Yuugi began to cry softly. "Yuugi no" Yami called, dragging himself towards Yuugi. "Don't listen to them, it's the Oracle trying to get at you". Anzu laughed cruelly as she enjoyed her husband's hikari's crying. "Yuugi, listen to me, it's all a trap" Yami whispered softly, raising one of his hands, reaching up for Yuugi. "I-It is?" "Yes" Yami whispered. "You can't let them play with your emotions, it'll put you off". "But Yami it should be me that’s married to Anzu, not that evil monster!" "Exactly, that fury will both help you and put you off, you have to use it the best way you can" Yami replied. Anzu leaned over to the evil Yuugi, whispering in his ear. "Get him now while they're close". "How?" "Use the Shadow Power, I don't care whether you use a ball to smash them with or whether you use those types on Jonouchi to hold Yami in place, but whatever it is, make it good" Anzu whispered. "Yuugi, I know you can do it, I believe that you can do it" Yami replied. "I have an idea but I need you my love" "What's that?" "It's simple we lure him into thinking Yami's the enemy and bam he joins us." "I see, but after what we just saw, it won't be easy, we'll probably have to restrain Yami, stop him from interfering or he'll just make it worse". "He's too weak my evil girl." "Maybe, but Yuugi will listen to his words, that's what this battle's about at the moment". "Hell, no you’re the master manipulator of us two". "I see, well, I'll do whatever I can against Yami then, I'll make sure to get Yuugi back". "All right my wicked one." Anzu turned to Yuugi, giving him an innocent smile. "Yuugi, come on dear, I was just playing, you know I really love you. And to see you separated from your other side is terrible. Come back, please" she asked sweetly. Yuugi looked at her, his soft eyes seeming to plead with her. "Yuugi no, she's lying, you saw what they just did" Yami called. "Please Yuugi, Yami just wants to break us apart. Please come back. You know I love you as a whole". "You do?" "Of course we do, Yami pulled you out of me so he could turn you against us" the evil Yuugi replied. "See, he didn't like this in the beginning and he doesn't like it now" Anzu added. "Well...I..." The good Yuugi said as he hesitated. "Yuugi no, don't fall for their lies" Yami cried out, sounding desperate. "He's the one lying Yuugi, I would never hurt you. Why would I? But he sent you away once before, he could do it again". "You stripped me of my soul or did you forget how you created me?" Evil Yuugi replied. "No, I didn't mean for that to happen" Yami called. "I was just trying to protect two worlds, I didn't think he had anything like Airtos, I had him on the ropes". "Yes however you disrespected your monsters.." Came the deep gravely voice of Raphael. Yami's eyes widened as he looked over his shoulder back to the outside of the Seal where Raphael stood. "No. No I didn't know, the Oracle clouded my mind". "No you did this yourself. Your need to win consumed you." "I needed to win to protect both worlds, I couldn't risk everyone, I didn't ask Yuugi to save me, I was ready to go, I deserved it, I wanted to pay for my stupid action". "Pharaoh had if you lost normally, Dartz wouldn’t have got my soul!" Raphael hissed as his voice was darker. "But, I was going to lose, you'd have just challenged me again, you backed me into a corner, I had no choice". Raphael was about to say something when his Oracle stone glowed, causing him to cry out in pain. "Raphael, no!" Yami called. Raphael screamed in pain as the spirits of Guardian Guraru (Grarl) and Guardian Airtos appeared by his side trying to protect him. Yami stared at the Guardians as they emerged, he turned his head back to see if Yuugi was still with him. He was but wouldn’t be for much longer. Raphael gave one last desperation scream as the Oracle finally possessed him and his Guardians. Yami turned back to Raphael, watching in horror when he could do nothing to help him, he shook his head slowly in disbelief. Raphael opened his eyes as they gained the red tint of the Oracle and he grinned evilly. Yami's eyes widened in horror when he noticed the change, he couldn't let Yuugi fall into that again. The good Yuugi smiled innocently at Raphael. "Yuugi, I feel much stronger from that, I know you wanted to feel stronger, you can do that by rejoining us, don't miss out on the strength you sought after" Raphael called. Good Yuugi slowly approached the now-evil Raphael. "No Yuugi, don't listen to him" Yami called. The evil Yuugi chuckled quietly watching Yuugi leave Yami, his own calls not working any longer "Yes Yuugi all you have to do is take my hand." Raphael said offering his hand. "No Yuugi, don't do it, he's drawing you into a trap" Yami called. "Don't listen to them, they'll overpower you again". But Yuugi didn’t hear him as his and Raphael's hands touched. "No!" Yami yelled as a bright light grew. He raised on of his arms, using the shadow to protect his eyes as the green light grew larger, he cursed himself for having not been able to do more to stop Yuugi. Evil Yuugi grinned wickedly. Anzu also watched proudly, she had expected more of a fight from the lighter Yuugi, but she was pleased with the result, she giggled darkly waiting for the light to fade. The light slowly faded as Yuugi looked up at his evil twin. "Yuugi" Yami whispered to the Yuugi that had been freed from the evil, now unsure what he was like. "What?" "Are you alright? Did the Oracle get to you again? Please tell me you're still the real Yuugi". Yuugi chuckled darkly as he stood by his evil twin’s side. "No" Yami sighed, lowering his head. Anzu grinned wickedly as she kissed the 2 Yuugi twins. Yami lifted his head as he watched Anzu kiss the two, now he had even more people to deal with. The 2 twins blushed. "Anzu, what did you do to him? Couldn't you see he was meant to be saved? Meant to be free" Yami shouted. Anzu growled. "I love both of them." "How could you toy with Yuugi like that? You know he shouldn't be controlled by the Oracle, he's the best person to defeat it. Whatever you did, undo it now!" Anzu cackled seemingly only like a witch could. "Anzu, stop it, this has gotten way too out of hand" Yami called angrily. "Heh heh..." The evil Yuugi burst into insane cackling. Yami's eyes widened as she watched Yuugi cackling, to think that his aibou had lost himself so much, he grit his teeth, watching sternly, he couldn't let them see his concern so easily. "Heh so this is what the mighty Nameless Pharaoh of Egypt has been reduced to? A snivelling shell cowering at the future ruler of this planet? Heh you’re downright sickening." Yami growled, narrowing his eyes as he glared up at Yuugi hatefully. "I wouldn't have been reduced to this if you hadn't come back, you should have just left Yuugi alone" he spat. "Your feeble attempts at insulting me.. heh your pathetic servants of the past could do better!" Yuugi replied laughing coldly. "What do you plan to do then? You claim you're so powerful, yet you've done nothing to really prove that to the world". "Really now you underestimate my limitless power. Should you mock me again well lets just say I’ll turn a friend from your past against you.. but who will I use.." "What are you talking about?" Yami asked, lifting his glare in confusion. "It's simple. I can use any spirit or actual force of a person alive or not to do my bidding.. and this power applies to all those on my side as well.” Yami's eyes widened fearfully, feeling his body trembling as he stared up at Yuugi, he couldn't help but feel freaked out by it, he turned to the Yuugi twin that had emerged as the lighter, wishing he could stop his fear that had surfaced. The once lighter Yuugi gave a sadistic grin. "Yuugi" Yami called. "Don't do this, this isn't right". He sighed as he fell back slightly, leaning his back against the Seal's barrier once again. Yuugi smirked. "Your spirit's almost shattered.. it's all over.. for you...it's all over for you" He taunted Yami. Yami shook his head slowly, fixing his eyes on Yuugi, trying move back and away from his claims, he couldn't move more than a couple of inches. He glanced back, worried about what Yuugi was planning in his worse state, he looked back again at Yuugi, the fear evident in his eyes. Yuugi giggled wickedly, loving the sense of fear, terror and hopelessness he saw in his former friend's eyes. Anzu giggled as she stepped forward, towering over Yami as she moved towards him, he struggled to move away, nothing he did worked. "Give it up Pharaoh, the Yuugi you knew no longer exists, this is the Yuugi the world has chosen, only you can't accept it, everyone else can" she chuckled. "No, that's a lie, Yuugi isn't that" Yami protested meekly. "It's all over for you.. and now you’re dead inside, when your on the edge and falling off it's all over for you.." Yuugi taunted. "No, no that's not true" Yami replied, the terror taking a hold of his voice. She chuckled more, lowering herself down on one knee, quickly reaching forward and holding his chin, he tried to pull away, she just pulled him back, forcing his head to watch his former aibou, he watched with eyes filled with sorrow and fear combined. Yuugi grinned as he watched before he started to taunt him again. "I hate everything about you.. you hate everything about me.." Yuugi taunted with an insane grin. "No, no I don't" Yami replied, shaking his head as best he could, staring up at Yuugi, his eyes widening slightly more. "Only when you start to think about me do you know.. I hate everything about you.. I could never possibly love you.." Yami shook his head more in response, he couldn't even fight with words, they would all be thrown back. He stared up at Yuugi, his eyes remaining wide as he struggle against everything that held him in place. Yuugi grinned wickedly as he held up the original Sennen Puzzle, ready to smash it if he wanted to. "No Yuugi!" Yami cried out, pushing himself forward slightly. Yuugi cackled wickedly. "All I have to do is destroy this and you'll be gone forever.." "No, don't do it" Yami called, trying harder to fight Anzu's hold to move forward. "I can and I will.." "No Yuugi" he called out. Anzu placed her other hand on his right shoulder beside her, gripping down to hold him back if he were to move forward at all, she grinned at Yuugi. "Should I?" He asked, his voice dripping with inhuman evil. "You're the one holding it, you can determine the fate" Anzu replied coolly, glancing back at Yami. Yami stared up pleadingly, tears building in his eyes as he shook his head while still struggling. Yuugi looked down at him, his eyes gleaming with wickedness. Yami held himself still for a moment, he couldn't do anything, his fate was out of his hands, even more so than normal, he mouthed a couple of words, it was all he could do given his position. 'Don't do it, if you have to kill me, then do it to me, not the Puzzle'. "But the Puzzle holds part of you." Yuugi replied, his eyes seemed to burn with pure maliciousness at how close he was at destroying his biggest threat. "If I die, it'll have nothing more to do with me" Yami replied calmly. "What?" Yuugi asked slightly confused. "If my spirit dies, the Puzzle will continue without the bond I share with it, that bond will be severed like the one between us has" Yami stated. "What's your point?" "That you shouldn't damage the Puzzle just because of me. It's a part of you too. If you really must kill me, I'm right here" Yami replied uneasily. "I don't believe in outright killing with bloodshed." "You didn't care about anything before when you were pelting me with your Shadow Magic" Yami shouted. "After all, you want to send me into the darkness forever". "True however I don’t want to turn this into a murder scene." Yuugi replied jokingly as he laughed softly. "You were about to then, I was practically dead when the real Yuugi came out" Yami hissed. "Practically yes but I would never resort to death through like knives or guns. This is a more cleaner less painful way to die. Trust me." "The Shadow Magic wasn't spilling any blood, you know full well and my body would've just vanished, I'm only a spirit after all. Quit your taunting, this isn't funny, why choose now to care about anything?" Yami spat. Yuugi chuckled softly. "I may be wicked but even I know a bloody death is wrong." He replied taking Yami's chin in his hands. Yami felt his heart skip a beat when Anzu's hand released his chin only for Yugi to take it, he glared up at Yuugi uneasily, gritting his teeth, fear grasping his very heart. "Anzu would you actually resort to killing him the way he seems to think we will?" "Using the Shadow Magic I guess, like he said, there wouldn't be any blood and you could really make him suffer longer than just smashing the Puzzle" she replied. "Really? How?" "Think about it, look at how he was suffering before when you were using your Shadow Magic to force his body into submission. That brought him to the brink of destruction, the only thing that saved him was the lighter Yuugi. Without him, Yami's got nothing to protect him". "Yes I already know this. What are you suggesting?" "I'm suggesting, he wants us to fight back, we should, tear him apart with the very Shadows that he once used". "The Oracle, right?" "That and the powers you've been using from the Shadow Realm. Together they'll tear him apart until he's finally done with. Then no-one will stand against us". Yuugi giggled evilly. "You have such a devious mind." "I know, I have to in order to help you out" Anzu chuckled. Yuugi frowned, as if to play along with Anzu's gentle teasing. "What's the matter?" Anzu asked, her smile shrinking slightly. "Nothing my love I’m just playing along with your teasing, that’s all." Anzu giggled as a reply, pulling her hands back from Yami's shoulders, he turned to Yuugi as she did. "Heh, may I have a kiss?" Yuugi asked in a sweet, innocent tone he knew she couldn't resist. "Of course you can, you don't need to ask" Anzu giggled before leaning forward, giving him a long kiss. Yuugi smirked as he happily returned the kiss, his lips seeming to melt when they met hers. Yami growled and turned his head away as the two kissed, feeling sick from their taunting for them to pull something like that. "I know I don’t need to ask, but I feel as though I should still have a shred of manners left in me." Yuugi teased. Anzu giggled at his remark, laying a hand on his shoulder and leaning forward to kiss his cheek again. "You know what I mean?" "Yes I do". "Well do I have to be polite or no?" He asked in a sort of purr. "It's up to you sweetie" Anzu replied giggling. "Well do you like me polite or no?" "I like both, maybe you could be polite, I don't mind if you are or not. But if it were to me, I guess polite". "Why? Bad boys like me aren’t polite." He whined playfully. "Go ahead then, don't be" Anzu giggled. "It'd suit you more then". Yuugi grinned a typical bad-boy grin. Yami glanced back, hearing them play about, Anzu held Yuugi tightly, smiling happily. "I could never be this happy with that dork, Rebecca." Yuugi replied with a chuckle. "I know, you proved it long ago, I'm glad you saw it". "How did I do that?" Yuugi asked, acting innocent. "When you got your own back on her, when you joined the Oracle, when you kept telling her you wanted to be with me and not her" Anzu listed. Yuugi blushed. "And I'd do it all over again my queen." "Awww, that's sweet". Yuugi blushed darker. Anzu giggled at the blush, she loved to see Yuugi wearing it, suppressing her own blush at the same time. "Hey guys, I hate to break up the little lovefest but.." Jou began. "What is it Jou?" Anzu asked turning to him. "We got company." He replied, gesturing to a just-arrived Rebecca. "Speak of the damn devil.." Yuugi muttered, his gaze shifting to Rebecca. "I thought we got rid of her" Anzu hissed. Yami turned his head to see Rebecca entering the same way they had behind him. "So did i. I'm not sure how the little dweeb came back.." Yuugi replied, but before he had time to react he was on the ground, thanks to a few swift kicks from Rebecca. "Rebecca, stop it" Yami called. "You little brat" Anzu hissed, bringing her hand around to slap Rebecca. Rebecca rubbed her cheek where she was slapped, but it didn’t seem to bother her. "Rebecca, get out of here, don't anger them" Yami shouted. "That's what you get for messing with my Yuugi" Anzu spat. Rebecca looked like she was about to scream. "Well? What do you have to say before I get rid of you once and for all?" "Your Yuugi?" She hissed. "He's not even Yuugi anymore!" "Of course he is, you're too blind to see it". "Oh yeah?" She pointed to Yuugi who was just getting back up. "I challenge you to a duel!" She declared. "No Rebecca, don't do it, stay out of this, it's much too dangerous" Yami called. "Another one" Anzu snorted, chuckling. Yuugi slowly got up. "What the hell just happened.." "Don't worry, just Rebecca making an entrance and trying to make a scene". "What does the little brat want now?" "She wants to duel you". "Heh, all right I accept." "No, don't duel, this isn't right, we just need to just stop the Oracle, duelling is just going to make things worse" Yami called. "Calm down" Anzu snapped. "She doesn't stand a chance". "She's right." Yuugi replied activating his duel disk. "Don't you remember? The Oracle will just make the darkness in Yuugi worse" Yami protested. Anzu rolled her eyes and turned away to the duel, laying a hand on Yuugi's shoulder. "Let's make this quick, his shouting's getting on my nerves almost as much as Rebecca's presence does". Yuugi chuckled. "All right." He turned to Rebecca. "Since your the victim here you go first." Anzu grinned as she watched the duel, stepping back a bit for Yuugi to duel. "I'll start with my Sapphire Dragon (Luster Dragon) in attack mode and one card face-down". "Heh 1900 right off the bat huh?" "Yeah" Rebecca growled. "Now let's see what you can come up with". "Very well fool." Yuugi replied drawing his 5 plus 1 for the turn. He grinned seeing the Oracle. "I activate the Oracle of Darkness!" Yami gasped as Yuugi held the Oracle's card high, Anzu grinned while he did, Rebecca didn't make a reaction. "Now the real fun can start." He said his eyes glowing red from the Oracle. "Really" Rebecca growled. "Yes really. I play Queen's Knight in attack mode." Yuugi called the familiar woman knight in red armour appeared bonding with the Oracle. (2000/1600) "Now for your pathetic dragon.. shred it my Knight!" "No you don't, activate Gravity Bind" Rebecca called. "Now none of you level 4 or higher monsters can attack". "Grr how dare you…I place 2 cards facedown. Turn end." Yuugi hissed. "Awww, Yuugi not happy?" Rebecca giggled. "I play Injection Fairy Lily". Yuugi's eyes widened. "Not that..." "Yeah that, now I'll give up 2000 lifepoints increase her attack by 3000. Now Lily, attack his monster". "Reveal trap. Negate Attack." "Darn, fine, I'll end my turn". "Heh you just wasted 2000 life points." "I know, so make your move so I can make you pay". "Pay for what ya brat?" "Pay for everything you've done". Yuugi laughed as he drew. "It's you who will pay. I activate my Evil Purity ritual spell." "And what does that do" Rebecca called. "Simple. I sacrifice monsters that equal level 6 and i can call forth my Knight of Impurity! So I get rid of my worthless Beast of Gilfer to call forth my Knight." Yuugi said as a man wearing a hell kaiser-esque outfit appeared swinging a black sword. (2400/1400) with Oracle: (2900/1400) "But since its at such a high level, it can't attack, you wasted it". "Wrong. You see my Knight has a special ability." "And what's that, dare I ask?" "By sending cards from either my hand or deck to the graveyard i can lower my Knight's level by 1 for every card tossed." "Oh great". "Yes so I send 2 from my deck and one from my hand to lower my Knight's level to 3. Now i summon King's Knight (2100/1400) Finally with his special effect i play Jack's Knight. (2400/1000) Yami growled as he watched the duel, wishing he could do something, Anzu grinned seeing how Yuugi was gaining an advantage. "Now although my new Knights cant attack my Knight of Impurity can. Now carve up that Fairy! Wicked Sword Slash!" "And I don't have enough lifepoints to raise Lily's attack" Rebecca sighed, watching as the creature was destroyed, her lifepoints falling to 2500. Yuugi giggled evilly as he signalled the end of his turn. Rebecca growled as she drew a new card, laying Ruby Dragon on the field in defence mode. She sighed glancing up at the field, it was all she had before laying two cards face-down. Yuugi smirked as he drew the one card he needed - Ra. "Good draw Yuugi" Anzu giggled. Yami sighed, he was powerless to know Yuugi's draws like Anzu, Rebecca too looked anxious. "Now I sacrifice all 4 of my monsters.. to play The Winged Dragon of Ra!!!" Yuugi shouted as the beautiful golden dragon appeared before him (9900/5400) "What?" Rebecca and Yami called as they stared up at the huge dragon emerging on the field, both gawping wide-eyed. "However ill be nice and spare you a turn." "Alright, I'll start things with Card Destruction" Rebecca called, throwing her hand away. As she pulled her new cards she stared at them, having just discarded the three she needed to, she had found the three she needed out in her hand now, it was perfect. Yuugi smirked discarding 2 cards he saw as utterly useless at that point as he drew 2 more. "Ready Yuugi?" Rebecca asked in a teasing voice. "Now I use Yuugou (Polymerization) to fuse Light Phoenix and Darkness Phoenix. That'll create my Ultimate Phoenix". "What in the name of Ra?" Yuugi whispered, completely surprised and caught off-guard. "Like it? This thing can only be summoned while Fire, Water and Wind Phoenix are in the graveyard and fusing Light and Darkness Phoenix. It's got 3000 attack and its special ability is the best. Wanna know it?" Yuugi nodded though deep down he dreaded whatever ability it had. "When its summoned, I get to destroy all your monsters" Rebecca giggled. "Oh no!" Yuugi shouted as Ra roared before exploding into pixels as Yuugi watched, horrified. "Awww, sorry Yuugi" Rebecca laughed. "But I guess you don't like my Ultimate Phoenix's ability Oh well, I guess with Gravity Bind with a problem. Or is it I activate my face-down card Hijyoo Shoku (Emergency Provisions) to destroy Gravity Bind and gain 1000 lifepoints*. "Oh no!" "Oh yeah, now Ultimate Phoenix, attack him now". Yuugi screamed in pain as his life points fell to 5000 even. "Awww, did Yuugi not like that?" Yuugi growled, panting softly. "I'm...still...standing." "For now". "Yuugi, are you OK" Anzu and Yami called in unison. "Yeah, I still have more points than her." "Yeah but that creature is tough" Anzu sighed. "Not to worry, I have a plan." "What's that?" Anzu asked. "Don't say if you want it to be a secret, but I hope its a good one". "Oh you'll see my queen." Anzu smiled before turning back to Yami, he seemed like he was on Yuugi's side for once, she felt both surprised and not that he had chosen Yuugi. "I end my turn" Rebecca called. "Bout time, my move." Yuugi said as he drew. "Perfect just what I needed." "What's that?" Rebecca sneered. "I activate Aku No Tessa! (Nightmare Binding)" Yuugi sneered as chains shot from the ground ensnaring her monster. "No" Rebecca called. Anzu smiled as the chains held Rebecca's monster in place, Yami's eyes dropped slightly, staring at the ground. "Heh yes now watch." Yuugi replied as her monster's attack dipped to 2200 while his life points rose to 5800. "Watch what?" "Your monster grow weak, just like you!" Yuugi said with a soft cackle. "Oh really" Rebecca sneered. "And what do you plan to do It's stronger than most things you could summon at this point. Sure it can't attack, but you'll still be in trouble when I summon another". "Oh I don’t think so. I reveal my trap card, Magician's Circle!" "Good job Yuugi" Anzu called happily. Yuugi turned to her with a wink before turning back to the duel. "Now i call forth my Black Magician Girl!" "Oh no, not her". "Oh yes her!" Yuugi said laughing evilly as the female mage appeared on the field doing her trademark pose as she bonded with the Oracle looking hatefully at Rebecca while giving a sinister smile to Yuugi. (2500/1700) "So now she'll attack my Phoenix" "Relax did I say I was done?" Yuugi sneered. "So what more is there?" Rebecca hissed. "Much more. Get ready to experience the true terror of my deck!" Rebecca growled, Anzu stared at Yuugi in surprise, both she and Yami wee surprised by what more could be lurking in Yuugi's deck ready to come out". "To start I play Sage's Stone to call out my favourite monster - Go Black Magician!" "Yeah, good start Yuugi. Show her what we're all about and the Oracle, how strong it is and how its made us" Anzu laughed. "If you liked that you'll love this. I'm taking this duel to the next level! I activate... JAWS OF KURTHIA!!!" Anzu and Yami both stared up at Kurthia in surprise when it had re-emerged from Yuugi's deck, Rebecca glared at it, there seemed to be a lot of attention focused on it, it had to be a good card. "Now I'll fuse him with my 2 Black Magicians!" Yuugi started laughing as the fusion of the 3 appeared. The 2 mages who were still bonded to the Oracle were riding on top of Kurthia. (4500/3200) "Wow, that dragon is awesome" Anzu called in awe. "I was afraid this would happen" Yami sighed. "Why?" Yuugi and Rebecca asked together at the same time. Yami lifted his head, he hadn't expected them to hear, he sighed looking away from the duel. "Playing something like that is just an example of the darkness growing inside of Yuugi and he's just getting worse" he claimed. "Shut up. I have a duel to win." Yuugi sneered. Yami sighed again, he expected Yuugi to have such an attitude, he turned back to the duel. Anzu looked back with a smile. "Now I have one more thing you may be interested to know." "What's that?" "Heh each time I draw a dark attribute monster you lose 500 points plus every turn my monster is on the field you lose 500!" "Oh great" Rebecca hissed. "That's not good, there are tons of dark monsters in your deck". "That’s right!" Yuugi cackled. "So, anything else for you turn" "One last card.." "What's that then?" Rebecca sneered. "My Magician Recovery magic card. It can only be activated when 2 or more mages of mine are sent to the cemetery in one turn. It allows me to summon them both back for the small cost of 1000 life points." "Oh great, I can't fight back against all three like that". "I know that’s the point!" Yuugi cackled as his two mages returned to the field giving his side an even 10,000 points of combined attack. "Yuugi, stop this, this isn't right" Yami shouted. "Shut up. Yuugi, you can do this. Get rid of her, we'll lose her once and for all" Anzu called. "Ignore him and do it, prove our power". Yuugi grinned wickedly and nodded. "Black Magician Girl take out her lone monster!" Rebecca groaned as her monster was destroyed, glaring ahead at Yuugi as he still held his other monsters ready. "Black Magician attack her directly!" Anzu laughed as Yuugi's Black Magician moved in for Rebecca, the younger one growling, unable to do anything. Black Magician grinned evilly as he launched his signature attack dark magic attack bringing her to 1200. Rebecca groaned when her lifepoints fell harshly, glaring back ahead at Yuugi, cursing under her breath. "Awww is little Rebecca mad at her wittle crush?" Yuugi taunted. "Maybe I am" Rebecca spat. Yuugi chuckled as he ended his turn his new monster unable to attack on the turn it was summoned. "It's a shame you couldn't destroy her this turn" Anzu sighed. "Whatever" Rebecca growled drawing a card. "I'll play Fire Princess in defence mode and lay one card face-down. That's my turn". "Devastation Dragon take out her lowly princess!" "Not so fast, I have a face-down card, remember" Rebecca called. "Go Seinaru Barrier Mirror Force". "No!!!" "Yes" Rebecca laughed. "Yuugi!" Anzu and Yami called in unison. Yuugi screamed as all 3 of his monsters were destroyed. "Yuugi no!" Yami called. "Sweetie, are you alright?" Anzu cried. "Is your turn over now?" Rebecca teased. When the smoke from the explosion cleared Yuugi's field was empty save for a facedown card he hadn't played. "Yuugi, hang in there" Anzu called. "She hasn't won, she won't, you will". "Yuugi, don't lose, we can't risk everything" Yami whispered. "I wont lose.. hear me! I'll take you down next turn!" "That's what you think. Is your turn over or are you summoning a useless monster" Rebecca laughed. "It's over." "Good" Rebecca laughed. "I draw, just what I needed. I play Shisha Sosei (Monster Reborn) to bring back my Ultimate Phoenix". "Oh no.." "Oh yes. Then I'll switch Fire Princess in attack mode" Rebecca called. "Now, Ultimate Phoenix, attack him directly". Yuugi screamed, his life points falling to 2000. "Now Fire Princess, attack him!" Yuugi screamed once more, his life points falling further to 700 "Yuugi, hang on, I know you can stop her, get her back this turn" Anzu called. "Because if he doesn't, he's finished" Yami muttered to himself. "I'm aware of that." Yuugi hissed. Yami turned back to Yuugi, maybe there was still a connection between them for him to hear his words. Anzu glared back at Yami and again at Yuugi as Rebecca signalled the end of her turn. "All right,,, my move.." Yuugi called as he slowly drew. Anzu and Yami watched Yuugi anxiously as he drew his card, Rebecca continued to grin. "I summon a monster in defence mode.. and that’s all.." "Good" Rebecca giggled. "Go Fire Princess, destroy that monster". "Nice try it's Giant Soldier of Stone. So you lose 700." "Fine" Rebecca spat. "Ultimate Phoenix, crush that pebble*. Yuugi groaned as his last defence was wiped out. "Ready Yuugi? I have one more card to play. The duel's over" Rebecca teased. "I play Ookazi!" "Yuugi!" Anzu and Yami cried out. Yuugi screamed as his life points fell to 0. "Yuugi no!" Anzu cried, trying to break into the Seal, banging her fists against it. "Yuugi!" Yami called out desperately. It was no use. Yuugi slowly fell to his knees as the Oracle stole his soul before he finally hit the ground, comatose. Anzu cried out, rushing to Yuugi's side the instant, tears pouring from her eyes, Yami stared sorrowfully, he too close to tears from losing Yuugi. Rebecca deactivated her duel disk with a sneer. Anzu lifted her head, glaring at Rebecca as if she held the anger of the planet, her eyes glowing bright red, Yami watched her worriedly, fearing she too would become even more consumed. "Do you know what you've done?" she yelled. "Yes I made Yuugi pay for what he's done." Rebecca replied with a giggle. "And what did you think would happen afterwards I'd let you off" Anzu spat. "I'll strip you of your soul faster than you can even notice the Seal". Just then Varon walked in. "Hey mates how's it-" He froze when he saw Yuugi. He rushed over to him. "Yuugi! Are you all right?! Say something mate!" Varon cried. "He can't, he's gone. We were just about to destroy Yami when Jou noticed Rebecca came in. She and Yuugi had a duel...Yuugi lost" Anzu sighed. "Oh no.." Varon whispered now on the verge of tears himself. "What's the matter, you babies? He lost, get over it" Rebecca sneered. "Now let's move on, do I duel one of you two now" Varon's usually light blue eyes burned with rage. "Varon, what'll we do? Without Yuugi, we're not as strong, Yami could break free now without Yuugi's power boosting the hold on him, the Oracle might be weaker too" Anzu whispered. "I'm not sure mate but we'll get through this I promise." "I hope so. I know it was just a fluke, she never had those Phoenix cards before. She must have gotten them since the last duel. Should we duel her now?" "No. We have to wait for a better chance." "What should we do for now then?" "I’m not sure." "Oh come on, admit you can't fight back. Without Yuugi, you can't even hold yourselves together. You're both as weak as you said everyone else is, that's why you're only holding Yami back, you can't stop him. You'll see now that Yuugi's not around to lead you" Rebecca taunted. Varon did all he could to keep from pulverizing the blood out of the little brat. "I'll kill her, this isn't right, we should take Yuugi, Jou and get out of here. I suppose drag Yami along too but we have to regroup and think of a new plan" Anzu muttered to him. "You all are just little babies without Yuugi around to order you around as his little slaves." Rebecca taunted. "You little- No, we can't get worked up like this. Grab Yuugi, I'll get Jou and Yami. We'll pulling back for now, figure out a way to destroy her and do so. Let's go back to the tower" Anzu ordered. Rebecca laughed. "My point exactly." Anzu shot up, glaring at Rebecca before bringing her hand up and slapping her across the face. She growled as she pushed Rebecca to the ground before turning away, facing the others. Rebecca got back up slowly. "Let me ask you something Anzu" She said. "What's that?" Anzu spat. "Of all the boys out there why did you pick Yuugi when you knew I liked him?" "Because I liked him way before you even met him. We've been close for years and nothing you say can deny it, I've always felt for him much more than you ever could" "That’s a lie!" She shrieked. "All right guys, what on earth did we miss this time?" Came the voices of Mokuba and Noa arms around one another. "Noa. Mokuba" Anzu called. "Hold Rebecca off while we get the others out, we'll explain when we get back to the tower". "Um...ok." The two confused boys replied. Anzu turned to Varon and signalled he should deal with Yuugi. She herself then turned to Jou before making her way over to Yami. As she reached him, he broke out of his trance of staring at Yuugi, glaring up at her. "What's going on now?" he sneered. "We're getting out of here and like it or not, you're coming with us" Anzu hissed. "Wait why do I have to?" Jou protested. "Jou, you're still on our side, just remember that" Anzu snapped, whipping her head around to him. "Come on little Pharaoh". She grabbed a fistful of his shirt, pulling him from the ground, he just glared at her before looking away, he had no way to fight, he had to submit for now. Jou muttered under his breath as she led him away as Varon gently cradled the unconscious Yuugi. Yami glanced at Jonouchi as they walked along behind Anzu towards the way out, she silent, Rebecca's ignored shouts could be heard, Yami sighed, he felt terrible for Yuugi's fate. "The little guy finally lost, huh?" Raphael asked. "Yes" Anzu muttered, moving forward. Yami looked back at Yuugi, seeing him like this tore him apart, he lowered his head and turned forward, swearing he would get revenge on Rebecca Raphael put his arm around Anzu. "It's alright," "I know, we'll find a way to get him back, we'll get back at her" Anzu sighed. "Heh I could duel her”. "Let me do it" Yami replied. Anzu turned to him, his eyes shadowed under his blonde bangs. "What?" she asked. "I'll do it, I won't let the Oracle take me, but I'll fight her with it, for Yuugi" Yami replied tonelessly. "Hey Pharaoh.." Came Kaiba’s voice. "Kaiba" Yami replied. "I saw everything." "You saw Yuugi...You did, did you?" "Yeah, kid fought with honour even with the oracle." Yami grit his teeth, clenching his fists. He lifted his head slightly, looking sternly at Anzu. "Let me fight her" he repeated. Anzu finally relented. Yami sighed with relief when his arms could finally move, he kept the look, he was ready to fight back against Rebecca, for Yuugi's soul, ready to risk his own for his aibou's. If Yuugi were conscious he'd have smiled "Anzu, give me the Oracle card. I'll hunt her down and get her myself" Yami added. "Pharaoh, wait." Kaiba said. "What is it?" "Let me help you. We can team up." "I don't want help, but I suppose you won't be satisfied until I do agree" Yami sighed. "Fine". "Thank you." "We can't waste anytime, we should go now". Kaiba nodded. Yami turned from Anzu, facing the doorway out. "Anzu, if I do lose, tell Yuugi I tried. I'm sorry I failed him before, I've got to do everything I can to set things right". Anzu nodded kissing Yami's cheek. "That’s for Yuugi when you win." Yami made no reaction to her kiss. He simply nodded before moving forward, waiting for Kaiba to follow. Kaiba followed snickering softly at the kiss. Yami glared at Kaiba under the shadow of his hair before continuing along, he couldn't get distracted, that would lead to him falling under the Oracle's spell, he refused to let that happen, he sighed as he moved out into the city, walking along the route from which they had returned. Kaiba sighed softly. "What is it?" "Nothing Pharaoh." Yami sighed, turning his head slightly further away from Kaiba, furious that Rebecca had caused this to fall upon Yuugi. 'Watch me Yuugi, I'll team up with the Oracle just to save you' he thought. "You really love the kid huh?" "What did you say?" "I said you really love Yuugi don’t you?" "Maybe I do. I don't see how everyone's reading my mind, but I wish they'd just butt out". He laughed softly. "I didn’t." "Whatever, you still have the Oracle ready for the duel" "Yep." "Question is which of us will play it?" "Good, we can't afford for her to have another advantage, she'll use Yuugi's defeat enough as it is. And I'll do it, I need to get back at her for Yuugi, I couldn't protect him before of the bindings, give me a chance to help him. "So your saying you want to use it, correct?" "Yes, I'll do everything I can to keep my mind but I have no choice, I have to do it for Yuugi". "I just want you to know that..." "I'll be fine, I won't lose myself like before". "Let me finish." "I want you to know that since we're technically cousins... well I love you like I love Mokuba - like a brother." Kaiba replied tearing up "Kaiba" Yami hissed, sharply stopping. "You don't show that care very much, I don't know what I can do to make myself believe that but focus on Mokuba and Noa. I'll be fine on my own". He continued again, refusing to turn his head towards Kaiba. "Pharaoh... I mean it.." Yami clenched his fists tighter, he didn't understand how Kaiba could be saying things when not only was he still under the Oracle's control as far as he knew, but he had never been able to say such things before "Pharaoh.." Came Raphael's voice. Yami growled as he halted again, wondering what Raphael had come along for, he didn't turn back, but instead glanced at Kaiba in the corner of his eye. "Kaiba means it. He wouldn’t say it if he didn’t mean it." "What are you even doing here? If we don't get there soon, Rebecca will be gone and we'll lose our chance for avenging Yuugi". "Well excuse me for trying to help!" Raphael barked angrily. Yami grit his teeth, clenching his fists even tighter, literally shaking with rage, ready to turn around and just give Raphael something to remember his anger. Raphael's soft blue eyes didn’t show anger, just hurt. "Raphael, I appreciate the concern, but I don’t need it. Once Yuugi's back and I can save him from the Oracle without Anzu interfering, I'll be fine". Raphael frowned. "Please Raphael, don't worry about me. Even if I do lose, I deserve it, besides, Kaiba will be there to stop her". "Fine.." Yami sighed before moving ahead, his head hanging slightly, watching the ground as he moved ahead, he felt lonely without Yuugi but couldn't feel close with the others, he was just pushing them away. Kaiba followed, looking a bit hurt. Yami made no reply, he lifted his head when the opening to the place came into view, he bore his teeth, glaring as he watched the entire ordeal in his mind again. Rebecca was still there seemingly waiting for him and Kaiba. Yami glared at Rebecca, instantly activating his Duel Disk without thinking, he turned to Kaiba. "Where's that Oracle card?" Kaiba tossed him the card looking a little resentful. "Don't worry Kaiba, I'll stop her. Then we can help Yuugi, I won't be like this forever, just until I get my revenge". He turned away, moving towards Rebecca as he shuffled the card into his deck, glaring at her, his eyes fixed just as his heart was on getting one thing done. Rebecca sneered a bit. "What's that for? You know why we're both here". "Yes because you want your little leader back so you can be his slaves again." "I was never his slave" Yami yelled, his eyes and their full fury emerging. "I was trying to save him and he wouldn't listen. If anything, he was about to kill me when you arrived. You should have let him, he might have woken you, you always ruin everything". Evil Yuugi says: "I do?" She asked sweetly. "Of course you do, don't play dumb, if you can play it" Yami shouted, feeling the urge to lunge at her grown, his shoulders shaking from the need to hole his arms back. "Pharaoh take it easy." Kaiba advised. "No Kaiba, I can't. I...I have to make her pay" Yami replied, leaving his voice at a normal level. Rebecca chuckled. "What's so damn funny?" Yami snapped. "You." "Damn you. I'll kill you" Yami yelled, pulling back a second before trying to lunge forward. Kaiba dove forward catching Yami by the ankle. Yami slammed onto the ground, cursing under his breath. He glared back seeing Kaiba's hold on his ankle. "Damn it, let go". "No." "Kaiba, don't turn on me. Let me get her for mocking us, for mocking Yuugi". "Duel her, not beat her to death." "I'd rather do the second but I don't have any choice" Yami spat. "What are you saying?" "I'd rather see her suffer the way Yuugi did all the time she was taunting him. But the only thing I can do is duel her" Yami sighed. "Then when I let go just duel." "Fine". "All right." Kaiba replied letting go. Yami pulled himself up, as much as he wanted to ignore Kaiba's demand, he remained still, drawing five cards from his deck. "Since you're the one who's going to lose, I'll let you start". Rebecca drew her 5 and one more. "I play Foolish Burial. So i pick a monster from my deck and send it to the cemetery then shuffle. "And what do you achieve from that Yami sneered. "You'll see Pharaoh." She teased. "I send Datenshi Marie (Marie The Fallen One) to my cemetery." Yami scowled at the comment, he still had little idea of what her plan could be, Datenshi Marie would only increase her lifepoints slightly each turn, there couldn't be anything massively important from that. "Now i summon Fire Princess in defence mode and place one card facedown. Turn end." "Fine" Yami replied, drawing his card. "I'll start with Shukuren no Akuma Jyuttsushi (Skilled Dark Magician) in attack mode. And I'll have it attack you useless Fire Princess". "Reveal trap. I activate Gravity Bind." "Damn, not that" Yami hissed. "Yes." Rebecca teased with a giggle. "Fine, I'll end my turn" Yami sighed in frustration. "Awww is that all?" Rebecca teased. "Just make your move" Yami growled Rebecca giggles and draws. "Since it's my turn I gain 200 but you lose 500." Yami pressed a hand against his chest as the lifepoints fell, he glared at her, wishing he could shut her up. "Pharaoh use the Oracle I gave you!" Kaiba shouted. "I haven't got it in my hand" Yami called. "Besides, I don't want it on the field for too long, it might influence me, I can't risk that". Rebecca laughed. "You’re scared." "Take that back, I am not!" Yami snapped. "I just don't want the thing driving me insane". "Then use Exchange when you draw the Oracle and I’ll gladly take the card from you." Rebecca teased hoping he actually would. Yami glared at her, letting her use the Seal was much more dangerous, he sighed, looking down at his deck. "Anyway i end my turn seeing as I haven’t drawn Lily." "Fine" Yami growled, drawing his card. "I'll play Big Shield Guardna in defence mode, then I'll lay one card face-down and that's all for me". "Hmph defence.. pathetic." Rebecca sneered. "Reminds me who has their only monster in defence mode" Yami sneered. "Unlike you I actually have a strategy and CARE about my cards!" Rebecca taunted raising her voice as she said the last part hoping to remind Yami of his first duel with Raphael. Yami's eyes narrowed, he remembered those words, she was playing head games, trying to draw him back to when Yuugi was first lost, trying to make him feel guilty, he shook his head. "Heh heh. my turn." She drew her life points going up to 8400. Yami groaned as another 500 lifepoints were taken from him, he glared at her, biting his bottom lip, he couldn't let her get too far ahead. "Now i play Shisa Sosei (Monster Reborn) to bring back Datenshi Marie. Next Change of Heart. And ill take your Skilled Dark." "No!" Yami called, his eyes widening. "Oh yes." She grinned darkly as she sent Marie to her cemetery and gave Yami back Skilled Dark and he growled, placing it in his cemetery. Yami growled, he had no idea what Rebecca was going to be summoning, but it was going to be powerful and he only had monster. He feared what the creature would be and if it would be strong enough to destroy his Big Shield Guardna. Now i play my favorite monster - Shugo Tenshi Joan (Guardian Angel Joan) in attack mode!" (2800/2000) "Oh no, that monster's much stronger than my Big Shield Guardna" Yami growled "Yes however due to Gravity Bind it cant attack for now. Turn end." Yami sighed with relief, at least the card had helped out in one turn, his monster was safe for now. "Go on. Your move." Yami growled, drawing his card, he laid it onto the field. "I play Honrou Suru Elf no Kenshi (Obnoxious Celtic Guardian) in attack mode and lay one more card face-down" he called. "Why play it in attack mode?" She questioned, obviously confused by his move. "Just because you can't get to me, I'll take advantage of the time I can play them in attack mode". "Well when i can you wont be so lucky." She taunted. "Oh really, don't tell me you've forgotten my Guardian's ability to withstand attacks from monsters with more than 1900 attack points" Yami replied cockily. Kaiba face-palmed. "Oh great, he's acting like me." "I am. I'm just trying to keep my head straight" Yami replied, giving Kaiba a stern - almost glaring - look. "I won't let her taunts get to me". "Heh Yami just relax and enjoy yourself." "Enjoy myself? Now you're sounding like Jonouchi" Yami called. "Besides, I can't until I know Yuugi's been avenged for his defeat". Kaiba looked wide-eyed. "Am I really sounding like that bonktsu?" "If you're the one talking about having fun, then I believe so" Yami chuckled before turning his head back to Rebecca. "Make your move". Kaiba looked stunned. Rebecca drew. "First I gain my 200 while you lose another 500." "Fine" Yami hissed, shrugging off the slight pain. "Just get on with it". Rebecca: 8600 Yami: 6500 "Fine I play Typhoon to destroy my Gravity Bind." "What? No" Yami gasped, his eyes widening at the opposite field. "Yes now attack his Guarda Joan!" "You're attacking my defensive monster?" Yami muttered, puzzled by the choice, wondering if it was to do with the effect of the monster. Yami waited as the attack hit, he glared at the clash, waiting for the two monsters to separate. Joan slowly floated back to her side as Rebecca rose to 8700. Yami growled, all that was left was his Guardian, his more powerful defence wiped out, he sighed, giving Rebecca a still defiant look. "And because my life points went up yours lower once again!" She giggled. Yami groaned again as the sharp pain returned, his knees bending a fraction, his hand pressed against his chest, this couldn't keep if, he rose his head again, cursing her combination, he had to get rid of that Fire Princess. "Play the god damn Oracle when you get it!" Kaiba hissed not wanting Yami to lose because deep down, under his icy facade was some compassion for Yuugi. "Shut up Kaiba, don't you think I would have in this situation if I had it" Yami snapped, the slight strain returning through his voice. "Is your turn over?" "Yup." "Good, I draw" he called. "I'll play Hayasugita Maisou (Premature Burial). I'll use it to revive my Big Shield Guardna. Then I'll sacrifice both of my monsters to summon Black Magician. But that's not all, I'll also activate Magic Formula, raising his attack higher than that of your monsters'".

• Perfect just what I was hoping he'd do..* Rebecca thought.

"Go Black Magician, attack her Fire Princess" Yami commanded. "Reveal trap card. Magic Cylinder." "No" Yami called, feeling the worry return as his mage's attack was absorbed into the Cylinder, the other set to return it to his lifepoints directly. "Go Cylinder! Fire!" Yami stared wide-eyed as the attack shot back at him, frozen as it collided with him, throwing him back. He groaned as he hit the ground hard, groaning at the pain from the force before slowly pushing himself up. "Great he's lost half of his life points." Kaiba muttered. Yami slowly got back to his feet, stepping forward back towards the field. 'With only a few thousand lifepoints left, I'll have no choice but to play the Oracle' he thought. His eyes dropped to his hand, the Oracle itself poking out at the side. He sighed, he had to play it in his next turn or else he'd suffer the same fate as Yuugi, playing it now would make no difference, only give the darkness a head-start. He reached his original spot, glaring at Rebecca tiredly. "I end my turn". Rebecca smirked as she drew her life points raising to 8800 while knocking Yami's to 2200. Yami pressed is fist against his chest, he couldn't let his own lifepoints fall while Rebecca's would rise, there had to be a way to get to her Fire Princess and destroy it. "I end." "Yami, there has to be a reason she kept Joan in attack mode. She probably wants you to attack it so i wouldn't if i were you." Kaiba warned. "You'll see, I'll get this duel back on track" Yami replied glancing at Kaiba as he drew his new card. "Alright, I play Gouyoku Natsubo (Pot of Greed). And I'll summon the Watapon I drew, but since that's its special summon, I can now sacrifice it for Black Magician Girl in attack mode". "That was pointless. She's far too weak." Yami closed his eyes slowly, reflecting on the madness so far, there was one card he had to play, it would give his monsters a boost, the problem was he dreaded the moment. 'Forgive me Yuugi, I'll do whatever I can to remain myself' he thought. His eyes shot open again as he pulled it from his hand, holding it over the Field Magic card slot at the end of his Duel Disk. "Maybe, but this card should help her: Oracle of Darkness". Rebecca's eyes widened in terror. Yami grinned as he slotted the card in, the Seal emerging beneath him, rapidly growing in size to surround Rebecca too. The Oracle began to shine brightly on his head, glaring at Rebecca with a similar look to the one he had given Raphael following his first time playing the card. Rebecca looked afraid, because she knew Yami's personality upon using it last time whereas she was surprised Yuugi would use the vile card. "Well, scared yet? I can see the fear in your eyes" Yami taunted, the same dark tone from his previous duels returning. Kaiba walked closer, just to get a better view of the duel. "Now, time to prove just how useful my monsters can be. Black Magician Girl, attack her Fire Princess". "Pharaoh, no, its a trap! Hurry up and call off your attack!" Kaiba shouted, knowing her other facedown was Seinaru Barrier - Mirror Force. "What?" Yami turned back to him. "I have a face-down card too, just wait and we'll see if its of any use". "But her card is Mirror Force i saw her set it down!" "Kaiba, I said don't worry". "But Yami if she plays that all she has to do is attack with Joan and you'll lose. Please... trust me." "Kaiba! I know what I'm doing" Yami snapped. "For once listen to me!" Kaiba countered. "Kaiba, I can stop that damn card if you just let me do this!" "All right but you better the hell not be bluffing." "I'm not" Yami replied with a grin Kaiba's uneasy stare was replaced by his trademark smirk. With a slight nod, he walked back to where he was. Yami turned back to the duel where his Black Magician fired the attack. Just as Kaiba had said, she revealed her facedown trap which was indeed Seinaru Barrier - Mirror Force. "You think that'd work, too bad I have my own Mystical Space Typhoon" Yami laughed. Before her trap could flip up it was destroyed by the Typhoon's winds. Kaiba breathed a deep sigh of relief. "Next time warn me when you're gonna save yourself!" He teased. "I was going to, you never gave me a chance, too busy worrying" Yami replied with a smirk. "Well I care for Yuugi just as much as you do, maybe more!" Kaiba shouted then covered his mouth realizing what he said, blushing a deep shade of red. Yami stared at Kaiba as if he'd gone mad. He shook his head for a couple of seconds before turning back to the duel. Rebecca stood there in a state of shock from what she heard from the teen CEO. Yami stared at Rebecca, trying to get the words through to his own head. "Did he just say what I think he said?" Rebecca managed to squeak out. "I think so" Yami replied. "Oh my god.." She whispered. "I'm just as surprised" Yami whispered to himself. Kaiba stood where he was. still blushing. Yami smiled meekly at Kaiba, unsure how to really react before looking back at the field. "I end my turn" he called. Rebecca drew not really focused on the duel as her life points rose to 8900. Yami grinned, for once his own lifepoints hadn't fallen. "Joan attack Black Magician Girl." She said forgetting that because of Magic Formula Joan was actually weaker. Yami stared at Rebecca as she made the move, stunned by her miscalculations. "I can’t believe she just.." Kaiba began. "I know" Yami added. Joan continued her attack but to Rebecca's surprise she was destroyed. "Did you forget how more powerful my monsters are?" Yami laughed. "But Black Magician Girl... only has 2500.." She stammered. "The Oracle increased her attack and I activated my face down Spell-Transfer to move the Magic Formula from Black Magician to Black Magician Girl, making her stronger than your wimpy fairy" Yami called. "Oh no!" "Oh yes. Now both Black Magician and Black Magician Girl have 3000 attack points each" Yami called. "Get on with the end of your turn". Kaiba smirked. "Nice work Pharaoh, i knew you had it in you." He said in a voice similar to when Raphael said the same thing. "I told you I knew what I was doing" Yami replied, sounding less impressed with Kaiba's line, a flash in his mind taking him back to the moment Raphael had first said it before turning back ahead. Rebecca looked stunned as her life points fell to 8700 as she ended her turn. Yami grinned, his patience wearing thin, but still it was a good way to kill time to watch her tormented. "Y-Your turn.." "Fine" Yami called, drawing his card. "Black Magician, Black Magician Girl, attack her lifepoints directly". Rebecca screamed as her life points fell rapidly to 2700. "Like the pain? That's what I went through when your monsters were draining them from me" Yami chuckled darkly. "Now he sounds like Yami Bakura.." Kaiba mused. Yami glared darkly at Kaiba in the corner of his eye, ignoring the comment and turning back to the duel "Is your turn over?" Rebecca asked visibly shaken. "Yes" Yami chuckled. Rebecca drew, as her points rose to 2900. "200 lifepoints, nothing much, you'll lose soon enough". Rebecca sighed and nodded. Yami grinned as he watched Rebecca, if she couldn't do well this turn, she was finished. "I end my turn.. go ahead and finish me off.." She called her blonde bangs covering her eyes. "Good little brat" Yami chuckled, drawing his card and not even looking at it. "Go, Black Magician Girl attack her directly". Rebecca screamed softly as her life points fell to 0. Yami stared at her without emotion, waiting as he felt the Seal slowly shrinking around her, passing him. Rebecca looked up at him with a smirk. "I'll be back sooner than you think.." "That's what you think" Yami mumbled. As the Oracle slowly took her soul, her smirk still remained. Yami only blinked as the Seal began to glow, watching her emotionlessly, not turning back to Kaiba, not seeing if anyone else was about, the Seal still shining on his head as the real thing glowed brightly. The Oracle slowly disappeared, Rebecca's soul in it's clutches. The Seal faded from Yami's head, he slowly went down onto his knees, sighing, his eyes falling to look down at the ground before him. "Well that was amusing.." Came Kaiba's voice. Yami didn't reply, he sat there, he sighed, he could almost see Yuugi laying before him instead of Rebecca. Kaiba looked at him. "You ok?" "I'm fine" Yami replied quietly "You sure?" "Yes, I'm sure" Yami growled. "Well that’s settled, now what?" "We have to find how to get Yuugi back. Then we have to erase the Oracle from his spirit". "Now you know there’s no way Anzu will allow that." "We'll just have to try behind her back. If I have to be reduced to how I was before to do it, I will. I'll be their prisoner and torture toy just to see Yuugi released from the Oracle's hold" Kaiba shook his head. "Sorry Pharaoh, but that I cannot allow." "What?" Yami asked, looking up, turning his head to Kaiba. "You disrupting what Yuugi and Anzu have worked so hard for." "I can't let them lose themselves even more, I can't let them do this" Yami called. "And I cannot allow you to stop them. Sorry." "And what are you going to do?" Yami called "Once Yuugi is restored I’ll tell him what you plan to do. Sorry but this is what Yuugi wants so I have to tell him." "You can't" Yami protested. "In case you haven't noticed, you have nothing over me". Seto took his Oracle card from Yami's duel disk holding it in his hand. "Kaiba" Yami called, glaring at Kaiba, he had no way to get it back. Kaiba turned around and jogged off back towards the tower to tell Anzu of what Yami planned. Yami stared in surprise when Kaiba rushed away, he growled, going back to Anzu was a trap to him, but he had no choice, there had to be the chance that he could stop Kaiba, he raced after him.

• Hang in there Yuugi you'll be all right, I'll make sure of it* Kaiba thought as he kept running.

"You do know Anzu would be more ticked if you returned without me?" Yami teased. "But I'm coming back because this is what's best for Yuugi, don't run to her like a dog running to its master. You can help me Kaiba". "Help you?! You want to stop the one I love…oh damn it not again…" "Kaiba, I know you care for Yuugi, that's why if you truly care, you'll help me set him free. Anzu will return him under the Oracle's control the instant he gets back". "Yami, you don’t understand." "I do understand, the Oracle is clouding your mind, you're the one that doesn't understand". Kaiba ignored him, as he kept running the tower nearly in his sights. "Kaiba, don't do this" Yami called, getting no closer to him. "Back off!" The Blue-Eyes duellist barked. Yami growled, he cursed under his breath, he wasn't going to stand a chance if Kaiba reached the others before he could to the tower, Kaiba would also have an idea where Anzu would be, he was losing, he wished that his promise hadn't drawn him back, he could have easily escaped, Anzu must have known this would happen, drawing him back when he was finished with Rebecca. "I'm coming Yuugi…" Kaiba whispered as he finally reached the tower's entrance before opening the door and racing inside. Yami growled as Kaiba entered the tower, a few seconds passed before he too skidded to a halt and sharply turned to the tower's entrance, growling as he looked around for the direction Kaiba had gone. "Anzu!" Kaiba called hoping that Yami hadn’t heard. "Raphael" Yami shouted, hoping he could emerge before Kaiba would get too far ahead. "What?" The Guardian duellist mumbled having been asleep for a little while. "Where did Kaiba go? You have to help me, he's going to Anzu because I want to help Yuugi" Yami replied, panting to catch up on the air his running had cost him. "I don't know I didn't see him. I was asleep." "Damn" Yami growled, turning away. "All because I was hoping to remove the Oracle from Yuugi's soul when he got back. I can't believe Kaiba's so blind". "Oh not this again." Raphael grumbled. "What?" Yami growled, turning to Raphael. "You wanting to stop Yuugi." "Not stop him, save him. And if you won't listen, I'll go find Kaiba myself" Yami growled, moving away, looking at the staircases, wondering which one Kaiba must have taken. However unfortunately for Yami Kaiba had managed to find Anzu. "Anzu!" He called urgently. Yami sighed, he had no idea which staircase Kaiba had taken, he'd have to guess, after all, there wasn't anyone that would stop him from trying. "What is it Kaiba?" Anzu asked. "Well Yami beat Rebecca but we have a slight problem.." "What's that? Where IS Yami?" Anzu asked, looking around. "Looking for you. When Yuugi gets back he wants to erase the Oracle from him." "What? I thought he was finished with that" Anzu sighed. "Where is he now? He didn't get away, did he?" "No he's-" But before Kaiba could finish Yami burst in. "Yami" Anzu gasped. "Anzu, don't listen to him, we have to save Yuugi" Yami called. "No Anzu-chan.. please don't.." Kaiba begged. "We can't leave Yuugi like this, we have to get him back, we have to save him, even if we have to get rid of the Oracle. You can't stop me, I have to do it" Yami replied. Kaiba looked at Anzu his azure eyes pleading with hers. "Kaiba" Anzu muttered. Yami turned to her, he sighed as he glared back at Kaiba. "We have to save Yuugi" Yami repeated. "Don't let him get away" Anzu hissed. Kaiba smirked as he closed the door locking it. Yami whipped around as Kaiba locked the door. A moment passed, he glared, clenching his fists. "Kaiba, Anzu, what are you doing? This is stupid, don't fight it" Yami called. "Yuugi is my friend!" Kaiba growled. "Kaiba, get him, he's just going to argue back. No matter what we say, he thinks Yuugi going back to being weaker is good" Anzu commanded. "That's not what I'm saying" Yami hissed. "The real Yuugi was the person you fell in love with, that's my true aibou, not this shadow of him you're trying to keep". "Of course my queen." Kaiba replied as he tried to cover Yami's mouth while at the same time keeping one arm wrapped around Yami's neck. Yami struggled as Kaiba came up to him, his hand trying to hold over his mouth, he grabbed the arm wrapping itself around his neck, groaning and calling out in protest as long as he could. Anzu grinned, pulling out a rope and grabbing Yami's right wrist. Kaiba watched, grinning evilly. Anzu held onto Yami's wrist tightly as she drew it around to his back, kneeling beside him, reaching out and catching his left elbow, pulling it back and twisting it as her arm ran down. Yami tried to call out again as she locked them together and began to tie the rope around. Kaiba watched in awe, wishing he himself had those abilities. Anzu pulled at the rope as she finished wrapping it around Yami's wrists, standing up and walking back a few steps, watching with a wide grin as Kaiba held tightly. "Yuugi would be proud to see this. Now's as good a time as any to get him back" she laughed. Kaiba laughed as well. "Yes let's." "Good, I'll get Varon, he put Yuugi's body somewhere, we'll need it for when we get him back" Anzu giggled. "Keep a tight hold on him". She slowly moved across, giving Yami a smug grin as she passed him before exiting the room. Kaiba chuckled softly as he kept a tight grip around Yami's neck. Yami struggled, glaring up at Kaiba, he tried pulling his wrists apart, he couldn't separate them, trying to protest Kaiba's following Anzu's rules, his words muffled from the hand, he sighed. Kaiba's smirk widened. Yami tried to shake his head, growling when every other attempt to get free had failed. Anzu reached the room where Varon had taken Yuugi following his defeat. Varon sighed as he looked at Yuugi's comatose form. "Varon" Anzu chuckled. "Come on, we're getting Yuugi back, Kaiba's holding Yami so that problem's solved, besides, we can use some of Yami's energy to boost Yuugi when he gets back". "But how, mate?" "Truth is, we needed Yami about in order to get Yuugi's soul out of the Oracle. We can use the stone to get him out like we did before when we'd get the others out". "Ah I see." "Come on, let's go get our Yuugi back" Anzu called. Varon smiled happily and gently hugged her. Anzu hugged back, looking down at Yuugi, smiling happily, soon he'd be back with them. "So we use the Oracle right here or somewhere else?" "We have to use it in the room where Kaiba's holding Yami, we've got him all bound ready for the spell, it was too risky to bring him down here". "All right come on lets go." Anzu nodded, leaving Varon to go to Yuugi, she waited by the door, grinning, she could only imagine how Yuugi was going to react to getting back. Varon walked to him, gently picking up the unconscious child in his arms. Anzu opened the door, smiling back at Varon, looking down slightly at Yuugi as she made her way out, holding the door open. Varon slowly followed her, careful to keep a secure hold on Yuugi. Anzu looked back frequently as she made her way back to the room. When she reached the door, opening it slowly, she peered in, seeing Yami still trying to fight back against Kaiba's hold, none of his words coming out clearly, she giggled before turning back to Varon and Yuugi, slowly making her way into the room. Varon grinned as he walked in. "I told you, he's powerless to fight back. Now, let's get on with this, the sooner we finish, the sooner we get Yuugi". "You’re right." "Lay Yuugi in front of Yami, leave a little distance, but he has to be laying on his back, it'll be easier to get his soul back in. Then we'll be set". Varon nodded and gently did so. Anzu grinned at Yami, laying a hand on his chest, he tried to protest, trying to wriggle out of Kaiba's grip, failing to do so. Anzu giggled before moving to the other side of Yuugi, the Oracle stone glowing. Varon watched, looking thoughtful. The Seal began to appear on the ground beneath Yuugi, Anzu grinned, watching his own Oracle stone glowing, Yami groaned, looking like he had been hit in the chest, sinking slightly, his knees bending as he felt the energy Anzu had been after being drained from him. Varon watched still, his eyes widening slightly. Yami closed his eyes as he slowly sank further, Anzu ignored him as she focused on Yuugi, watching the transparent streams of energy flow from Yami and Yuugi, grinning darkly as they did, restoring his energy as the Oracle restored his soul. Yuugi groaned softly as his amethyst eyes opened slowly. "Yuugi" Anzu called happily, lowering herself to her knees as the Oracle beneath faded. Yuugi moaned a little. "Where...am I?" "You’re back at the tower" Anzu whispered. "We brought you here after you lost to Rebecca, Yami beat her and now he's back here". She turned her head towards him, grinning darkly as the streams slowly began to fade. Yuugi looked at her a little confused by her grin as he wasn't re-bonded yet. "What's the matter Yuugi? I thought you'd enjoy seeing Yami like this" Anzu muttered, turning her head back to Yami. Yuugi didn’t have the chance to respond as the Oracle began to re-bond with him. Anzu giggled as she watched, glad that the Oracle had been able to join with Yuugi so quickly. Yami watched in horror. "Too late Pharaoh, it was your energy that gave him the chance to wake and the Oracle's chance to bring him back" Anzu laughed. Yami sighed, struggling weakly against Kaiba, pushing himself up towards his full height as he did so. Yuugi's eyes slowly returned to their now usual blood-red look as the Oracle reappeared on his forehead consuming his mind in darkness. Yami watched Yuugi sorrowfully before bringing his struggle to a finish, his head hanging limply, his legs shaking slightly from the reduced amount of energy. However what the group didn’t know the spell also restored a part of Rebecca's soul. Anzu giggled as Yami slumped against Kaiba, finally accepting his defeat, she leaned forward, kissing Yuugi on the cheek. "So, what should we do with Yami now?" she asked him meekly. "We could just have Kaiba hold onto him or lock him away somewhere. It's great to have you back, especially without that brat around to try and interfere". "You've got a point there. Want to go back to the card shop and relax for awhile?" "Sure, should we bring everyone with us? We'll need to find someway to hold the Pharaoh back, Kaiba's arms are going to get tired sooner or later" Anzu giggled, wrapping her arms around Yuugi's neck and drawing him into a hug. Yuugi hugged her back tightly. "How long was I gone?" "A couple of hours is my guess. But that was enough for Kaiba and Yami to head out, beat Rebecca, race back here and get everything done to get you back" Anzu replied with a smile. Yuugi smiled at her. "I love you Anzu." "I love you too" Anzu giggled. Yami sighed as he watched, he hated it when they went all lovey-dovey and forgot that seriousness of the world around. He glanced upwards, trying to glare back at Kaiba, getting no such luck. "Anzu may I speak to you in private about something?" Kaiba asked. "Sure, I guess now is as good a time as any for you to be able to rest, your arms are bound to get tired with all the struggling" Anzu replied. He slowly released Yami but not enough that he could escape. Yami collapsed to the ground, laying at his feet, watching Yuugi as he waited for his energy to return, breathing deeply as Anzu moved away. "Anzu.." Kaiba began "What is it?" "Don't hate me for this but I also love Yuugi, there I said it." "Wow, I didn't expect that. That's sweet Kaiba" she replied, laying a hand gently against his cheek. Kaiba blushed. He had expected her to slap him or take his soul on the spot. Anzu giggled, smiling at him, glad he had a reason to stay close to Yuugi. "But since you’re married to him I guess i cant have him.." Kaiba said forgetting about Yuugi's other half. "Don't worry Kaiba, there has to be something we can do for you. You'll see, I'll find something that I can do for you". Kaiba smiled. "You would do that for me even after all the times I belittled and made fun of you?" He asked genuinely surprised. "Of course I would, after all, you've helped out so much in this entire time, it's the least I can do". Kaiba blushed as he moved closer wanting to give her a kiss as thanks. Anzu could see his attempt, leaning forward and kissing him on the check as a thank you, smiling as she pulled away. "Yuugi, please help me" Yami groaned, trying away to pull at the ropes around his wrists as he laid on the floor close by. Yuugi smiled wickedly and turned his back on Yami. "Yuugi, please, don't let them do this" Yami pleaded, shuffling, trying to get closer. "I tried to help, I stopped Rebecca because I wanted to help you. I even used the Oracle". "Big deal you still tried to stop us. If you didn't I might be helping you right now." He said his voice vile and devoid of compassion for the spirit. "You don't understand, you can't let them win like this" Yami replied, sounding close to tears. "Please don't let them, I want to see the real Yuugi back again, this isn't right, this isn't who you are". "Spare me the begging its pitiful." "Yuugi, come on, you can't seriously want this, you know the Oracle's evil, you know I'm right in the way that I can see from the outside, its twisted your mind". "Shut up!!" Yuugi shouted the Oracle's hold on his mind growing stronger. Yami shook his head, nothing he was saying was getting through, he glanced at Varon, sighing before turning back to Yuugi, he wished there as something he could do to get through the Oracle's hold. Kaiba looked at her, silently asking if he could return her kiss. Anzu smiled and nodded, she knew Yuugi would understand, they were close, she leaned in closer to him. Kaiba's cheeks grew redder as he returned her kiss. Yami groaned as he continued to shuffle, pushing himself closer to Yuugi, even if the progress was slow. Anzu giggled as she hugged Kaiba. Kaiba hugged back. Anzu giggled again, she couldn't help but like how close the Oracle had brought not only her and Yuugi, but Kaiba too who had before barely come out of his shell. "I don't know why, but somehow I feel comfortable here." Kaiba told her. "I know" Anzu giggled. "It's strange.. I have never experienced this before." "I know, I've felt close to Yuugi, but this is something different" Anzu replied. "Yuugi, look at me" Yami pleaded. "If not because of my request, at least to see what I've been left like". "I can see that." Yuugi replied not bothering to look. Kaiba gave her a slight cynical grin which quickly turned mischievous. "What are you hinting, Mazaki?" The teen CEO asked. "I don't know, like I feel close to you like I do Yuugi. But something different. Maybe not like the love I have for Yuugi with our marriage, but maybe like a brother/sister kind of love". "Yuugi, what's the matter with you? This isn't right, I don't get what's up with you. Come on, wake up". "Brother...sister love?" Kaiba repeated as though the words were Arabic to him. "I've changed or is your feeble mind too small to notice that?" He snickered with acidic sarcasm. "You know, like Jou and Shizuka, like really close, you're like family in a way, that kind of thing" Anzu answered. "I can see that, but it's hardly a good chance" Yami growled. "What do I have to do to get through to you?" Kaiba looked deep in thought, words his brother had once told him about the very subject entered his mind. At the time he brushed them away as 'nonsense for the weak'. Now he wished he hadn't. Anzu frowned as Kaiba pulled away, she sighed, turning away, glaring ahead, slightly annoyed at Kaiba's instant change of attitude. "Anzu.. don't think I was ignoring you because I wasn't. It's just because of my past that I'm having a hard time understanding." "You can't get through to me." Yuugi scoffed. "I know" Anzu replied turning back with a gently smile. "Don't do this, don't shut me out, I can help you" Yami called. Kaiba sighed. "If only...I.." Kaiba began but couldn't finish as he was slowly overcome by tears. "How?" Yuugi sneered. Anzu moved forward, pulling Kaiba into a hug. Yami continued to try and push himself closer to Yuugi, almost able to see Yuugi's face. "I can set you free, please, you know I can" Yami replied. Yuugi, not really thinking what he was doing, delivered a sharp punch to Yami's face. "If I only had a normal childhood, maybe I would have a few good friends like you, Mazaki." Yami cried out, turning away as he coughed up a little blood, shaking his head to try and focus elsewhere than the pain. "Its alright Kaiba, you're fine now, you've got friends, I'm your friend and the others are too". "They are?" He asked. Yuugi smirked. "Of course they are". "Yu-Yuugi, what was that about?" Yami asked, guessing he knew the answer as he looked up at Yuugi, looking as hurt as he felt. Kaiba smiled. "Want to see what your husband is up to?" "I think you know." Yuugi replied. "Sure" Anzu giggled. "I-I don't understand" Yami answered. "I can't believe you, come on, you have to wake up". Kaiba smiled and led her to where he was. Anzu ginned as she entered, seeing how Yuugi had dealt Yami a blow, she giggled seeing it. "How are you doing Yuugi?" "I'm fine, He however has looked better." "I can see, has he been giving you trouble?" "Yes. He's so annoying.. Why don't we go back to the card shop and leave the pest here?" He asked feeling the Oracle's hold on him slip so he desperately wanted to get away from Yami. "Sure, maybe we should secure him a bit more in case he tried to get away again" Anzu giggled. "Hmm...wait I know." He said as he used his Shadow Magic to create a sort of cage to trap Yami inside which also prevented the use of his own magic to get out. "Good job Yuugi" Anzu giggled. "Let me add a couple of extra precautions". She giggled darkly as she walked past Yami, returning to the place she had pulled the rope from, pulling another out. "What are you doing?" Yami called. Yuugi giggled evilly as he knew exactly what she was doing. "Can I help?" He asked excitedly. "Hold his ankles together, then we can work on that big mouth of his" Anzu laughed stepping closer. "Yes my queen." He said doing as she ordered. Yami gasped, struggling as Yuugi held his ankles together just as Anzu requested, she giggled as she began to wrap the ropes around them, he was powerless to fight back. "No, don't do this, you're making a mistake" he cried out. "Awww listen the great Pharaoh is afraid." He taunted with a wicked giggle. "No I'm not, I'm just trying to stop you making this mistake. You know this isn't right, you can't do this" Yami protested. Anzu pulled at the rope, satisfied it was tight enough, she grinned at Yuugi before stepping over Yami, kneeling behind his head. "Try and 'talk some sense' into anyone when you won't be able to say a word, right Yuugi?" she laughed. Yuugi laughed with her. "Oh yes." Anzu pulled a cloth out, quickly wrapping it over Yami's mouth, despite his resistance. He tried to call out to stop them, his words failing to make it. "Kaiba, you'll have to carry him into that cage. Once he's there, keep an eye on him, he might not be able to get away right now, but he is tricky" Anzu called. "Trust me since it's of Shadow Magic it's escape-proof." Yuugi replied, grinning wickedly. "That's good to hear Yuugi" Anzu laughed, laying a hand on his shoulder. Yuugi kept smiling as he admired his and Anzu's work. Yami growled as he felt like a captured animal, wishing he could get away, just to get free, he knew it was going to come to this eventually, but to be restrained so much and about to be thrown into a cage was beyond what he had expected. Anzu turned to Kaiba, grinning darkly. Kaiba returned her grin as he took Yami by the arm, roughly, and pushed him into the cage, Yami groaned as he hit the floor of the cage, turning his head back in time to see the door closed, he struggled against the ropes, knowing full well how useless it was. Yuugi laughed evilly. Yami sighed, laying his head on the ground, it was all too hopeless, he hadn't realized how far things could go in terms of his capture and how far he could lose Yuugi. "Come on let's go. He won't be going anywhere." Yuugi said laughing once more. Yami sighed as Yuugi laughed, Anzu giggled along with him, moving towards the door, hugging him tightly. Yuugi happily returned the hug as the small group left together. Anzu smiled down at Yuugi as they closed the door. "You feel good without him calling out to you all the time" "Of course. Every two seconds its ‘Yuugi, don't do this’ or ‘Yuugi don't do that’. It's so damn annoying." "Well, you won't have to hear him keep calling you anymore, will you?" Anzu giggled. "No my love." "There's my Yuugi. So, what were you planning for are you're place?" "I just need some peace and quiet from his constant whining." "Don't worry, you won't hear his voice again. Kaiba and I will make sure of that". "I already have a plan once I’m ready." "What's that?" "I duel him." "I see, to break him down". "No. To seal him away for good." "Ah, when he loses again, his spirit will be too weak to survive. He'll fall apart knowing you were the one that did it to him". Yuugi cackled wickedly. "Exactly." "Good plan Yuugi. As much as I'd love to see him squirm in that cage, it's best he is put out of his misery sooner or later" Anzu laughed. "Who be put out of misery mates?" Varon asked his left arm had a bandage on it. "We're going to put the Pharaoh out of his misery once and for all, he's in there now. What happened to your arm?" "Cut it by accident." "I see" Anzu replied. "Nothing too bad, right?" "Nah." "That's good". "So where you 3 off to?" "Heading over to Yuugi's place. Our heads need some fresh air after we finally shut the Pharaoh up". "Mind if I come along?" Varon asked with a slight blush. "Sure". "All right good." "Let's go then" Anzu commanded, moving ahead. "Must you be so bossy?" Yuugi teased "You think I'm bossy" "Just a touch. Not that I have any complaints." Anzu hugged Yuugi loosely before continuing ahead. Yuugi frowned a little mainly because her hug was loose but he continued anyway. "Hey Yuugi, we could leave Jou to guard the place, couldn't we" Anzu suggested, laying her hand on his far shoulder. "Sure." "Okay then, I'll go tell him, you guys go ahead". Yuugi nodded as he, Varon and Kaiba continued. Anzu smiled as she watched the three continued without her, she turned to head down another corridor where Jou soon came into sight. "Hey Anzu!" He greeted. Yuugi and the group walked in, turning on the light to see Rebecca there but no longer comatose. "How can this be?" Yuugi asked, shocked. "Hey Jou, listen, I need you to take care of the place while Yuugi, Kaiba, Varon and I head out for a bit. Yami's caged up in one of the rooms back there but otherwise, there really isn't much to say". "I don't get it, how is she up I saw? Yami defeat her" Kaiba gasped. "All right." Yuugi looked just as shocked. "Thanks Jou, I'll go meet the others and head out". Kaiba turned to Yuugi, unsure what they could do, the previous duel had been for nothing, Rebecca was back again, he cursed under his breath. "A-Anzu.." Yuugi whispered softly. Anzu halted when she noticed Yuugi, she made her way to him slowly. "What is it Yuugi?" "In one word: Rebecca." He said shakily. "What?" Anzu called, hurrying to his side. "It's true." Kaiba replied, gesturing to the cyber-geek. "Oh no, she's worse than Yami. How'll we get rid of her if she keep showing up?" "I-I don't know." "I'll kill her" Anzu hissed. "No." Yuugi said firmly. "What's the matter Yuugi?" Rebecca asked sincerely. "What is she up to" Anzu spat. "I'm not sure?" Yuugi and Kaiba both said. "Awww, come on Yuugi, don't you remember everything?" Rebecca asked. "About you stealing my soul?" Yuugi hissed. "About everything before then" Rebecca replied. "Not really!" He growled. "Oh come on, we all know why you chose Anzu, you were scared she wouldn't like you when you admitted you liked me more". "I said no such thing!" Yuugi barked. "You didn't, but it was obvious" Rebecca called. "You know you love me, you said so yourself last time the Oracle was about". "What?" Anzu yelled. "Anzu I didn’t say that!" "Don't deny it now, you know its true, after all, I wouldn't make up something like this, you know your heart chose me like mine chose you" Rebecca giggled, her eyes fixed on Yuugi. "I…didn’t…did I?" Yuugi asked becoming unsure "I know you did, when we were talking the night before you were taken by the Oracle. Don't you remember? Everyone else was making dinner, you and I snuck out". Anzu stared at Rebecca with hate and disgust, wishing she could lunge forward and shut her mouth, but Yuugi had told her not to, she decided it was best to wait. "We...did?" "Yes, I know we did. We were standing out there, I was worried about my grandpa and then you hugged me and said you'd protect me because you loved me". Yuugi put his head to his forehead. Maybe what she said was the truth.. "Yuugi, she isn't serious, is she?" "I…don’t know." "You have got to be kidding me" Anzu hissed. "See, it's coming back to you, isn't it?" Rebecca giggled. "I...think.." "I knew it would, all we needed with enough time without Anzu lying to you". Yuugi's eyes dulled as he walked over to Rebecca's side. Yuugi stood by Rebecca's side and kissed her cheek without realizing it. Yuugi" Anzu called. "What in the name of Blue-Eyes is going on?" Kaiba asked. "I have no idea" Anzu sighed. Yuugi looked at Rebecca and smiled. "What has she done?" Anzu hissed. "See, I told you Yuugi would realize he was making a mistake with you". Yuugi nodded, again not realizing it because Rebecca was controlling his mind. "You little brat, what did you do to him?" Anzu yelled. "I opened his eyes. Come on Yuugi, I think its about time we got rid of these impostors" Rebecca teased. "Yes Rebecca.." He replied almost without emotion. "No, there has to be something we can do" Anzu sighed, turning to Varon and Kaiba. "I still don’t get what’s going on.." Kaiba replied. "Neither do I, I think Rebecca must have used some kind of spell, after all, he wouldn't lose his mind like this. Maybe we have to beat her in a duel to help him. But then she'll just come back". "No I think I know what to do, mate." Varon said. "What's that?" "You have to remind him of the real truth." "Right" Anzu replied, turning back to Yuugi. "Come on Yuugi, remember our wedding? Our promise? We didn't come all this way for nothing and reaching this point shows we have a real bond, stronger than the false one Rebecca is trying to lure you into. Ignore her, you know the truth, we were in this together from the start. When we were toying with Jou and Yami and recruiting everyone". Yuugi groaned trying to remember. "Fight her, come on, don't let her do what Yami's been trying to in breaking us apart. I love you, you know that, I'd do anything just to have you back here, come on, remember when Kaiba was working on this tower When we had everyone with us and then Rebecca tried to hurt you back then You had fun tormenting her, don't forget all that". "A..n...zu...." Yuugi managed. "Yes that's it, you can fight her. We still have more to do before our mission is complete, you said so yourself, come on, fight her and join us again in the winning side. You know you want to be back, break her control, shatter her tries". Yuugi screamed softly as her control was partially broken. "Fight it more, you know you're strong to break it. Think back to everything that really happened. Don't let her lies take you, you wanted revenge, she stole your soul, she couldn't possibly love you". "Mazaki has a point." "No, she's lying, you said that, we're going to be together" Rebecca protested, grabbing Yuugi's hand. "She's lying. How could she possibly love you if she locked you away, I'd sacrifice myself for you and you know it" Anzu shouted. Black Magician Girl appeared from Yuugi's deck sensing he was in trouble. "See, she wouldn't appear if you weren't needed to be rescued. Come on, fight back, you know you and I are true". Yuugi groaned as he kept fighting. "You know that he's meant for me, you're supposed to be on our side too, if you truly loved him like you claim you would". Yuugi moaned. "He belongs with me, not with you". "That's what you claim, but have you ever thought about where I can be better for him than you". "You know it couldn't last, he was never meant for you". "No, that can't be it. He and I were together for a reason". "Keep telling yourself that, keep fooling yourself". Yuugi screamed softly "Yuugi!" Anzu called. "No". "I told you, he can't stand for you to be on the other side, he likes you, but we both know he really wants to be with me, he's already chosen it". Yuugi moaned softly unsure of who to trust. "Listen to reason Anzu, you may have made a pact with him, but the truth is, you're breaking it by not being with him now" Rebecca called. Yuugi kept fighting mentally. "You can't resist the truth" Rebecca laughed. Anzu fell to her knees, clutching the sides of her head as stared blankly at Yuugi, nodding her head slowly. "What the hell?" Varon murmured. "I think Rebecca's using Yuugi got to Anzu" Kaiba replied. Varon's eyes widened as he rushed to Anzu's side. "Varon, wait, she might try to do whatever it was to you". "Sorry mate but I have to." "Be careful". "I will." Kaiba glared at Rebecca as laughed, she held Yuugi by her side. "They've been gone awhile, maybe i better check on them." Jou thought as he jogged down to the card shop. Rebecca glared at Varon as she continued to laugh. Jou walked in a little out of breath. "Hey guys what’s going on?" "It's Rebecca, she's back and she's got Yuugi and Anzu" Kaiba called. "Say what?! But how rich-boy?" "I don't know" Kaiba snapped. Jou ran over to Anzu. "Anzu you in there?" "She is, but Rebecca has done something to her". "Your losing your mind Anzu snap out of it!" "Just try and stop me, she won't listen to you, you should know that now" Rebecca laughed. "That’s not true. Anzu its me Jonouchi.." Anzu turned to Jonouchi, looking at him with a blank look, as if she didn't recognize him "Anzu?" Jou asked. "What?" she muttered. "What's going on? Why ain't ya with Yuge?" "I am with Yuugi, he's here, we're together in our unity. Rebecca reminded us". Jou looked puzzled. "Silly boy, you don't understand" Anzu replied. "It's not working" Kaiba added. "We have to try something else". "Jou....help..." Yuugi pleaded. "Yuugi, you're breaking through. That's right, fight it, don't let whatever lies she's told you get you". Yuugi groaned trying as hard as he could to break free. "That's right Yuugi, you can do it, prove it to her" Jou called. "Help me Jou I cant do this alone.." "You can do it, I'm here for you, we're here for you". "It's a lie, he's lying" Rebecca shouted. "No..." "Yes" Rebecca called. "They're lying". "It's true" Anzu mumbled. "No, it's the truth, we're here for you". His Oracle stone glowed and it broke the hold. "Yuugi!" Jou called happily. Yuugi groaned. "Jou...what happened?" "Rebecca used some weirdo magic on you and Anzu. And Anzu's still under it" Jou sighed. "What?! Wait I know." Yuugi said as he took out Anzu's favourite card, The Magician of Faith and summoned it. "What'll that do?" Jou asked. "Seeing it will break her free like seeing Red-Eyes broke you free in Battle City." Anzu groaned as like Yuugi predicted, the magic began to weaken. "But what'll we do about Rebecca? She'll just come back again". "I have a plan for that too." "I hope so, every time so far, she's come back". "She wont after I play a card.." "I hope so, she's way too annoying, she's worse than Yami at this". "That's exactly what Anzu said" Kaiba muttered. "Yu-Yuugi" Anzu groaned. "Anzu are you ok?" "Yu-Yuugi, there's something, telling me...saying telling me to fight it”. "What do you mean?" "It wants me to stay. But-but I have to be with you. H-help me fight that one telling me to stay". "Look at the Magician of Faith, focus on her." Anzu did so, feeling her determination to fight for Yuugi stronger. "Hang in there.." Anzu called out as the battle inside continued to draw out, feeling the need to stay and resist Yuugi's words weaken. "Remember our promise!" "I...I remember...our promise... to stop her. To take over....to prove ourselves to the world" Anzu called, feeling stronger with each word until the Oracle stone's glow also freed her. "Anzu!" Yuugi called happily. "Yuugi" Anzu replied, just a cheerful, rushing forward and wrapping her arms around him. Yuugi hugged her tight, not letting go. "Oh Yuugi, I'm so glad we're back" she whispered. "Me too." "Well, I think its time we stopped someone from getting in the way once and for all" Anzu growled. "Yes and I have just the card." "Oh, what's that?" Anzu giggled darkly. "The magic card Exile of The Wicked. In the game it destroys all fiend-type monsters. It should erase the evil from her soul." "Oh great" Anzu laughed. Yuugi laughed as well and activated it. Anzu watched as it started its effect, Kaiba and Jou glanced at Varon before turning back at Yuugi. Yuugi chuckled as the card did just as he'd hoped as the small fairies in the card destroyed the fiend-like part of her soul Anzu grinned, watching the card's effect as it took a hold, destroying the darker part of Rebecca. Jou and Varon watched wide-eyed. "What's the matter?" Anzu chuckled. "How did he do that?" "I don't know, but I'm not complaining“. "Nor are we but still." "We'll ask him afterwards, let him have his fun". Yuugi laughed as the Oracle glowed brighter on him as his Exile of The Wicked magic card's effect ended. "Good job Yuugi, now she shouldn't be a problem". "No." "Good, good" Anzu replied darkly. Yuugi smiled at her evil tone. "Oh Yuugi, there's no-one that can stop a nuisance like you can". Yuugi blushed. Anzu giggled before pulling Yuugi into another hug, holding him tight as if not to ever let him go. Yuugi purred softly enjoying this. "So, you still think we should go elsewhere? Come to think of it, even like this its risky having her about. She might find Yami and set him free". "No she wont." "How can you be sure?" "I told you its escape-proof." "Maybe, but Kaiba could use it to shut Yami inside, there's nothing stopping Rebecca from opening it up. It's not an escape, more of a breakout". "True." "So, what'll we do? Yami's hardly a threat at the moment, especially with how he's bound so much inside that cage. But if he were to escape, things would go wrong". "Kaiba, mind rectifying that?" Kaiba turned to Yuugi. "What do you want me to do in order to complete that command, Yuugi?" "Lock his cage so he cant escape." "Right, is that all then" Kaiba replied, nodding his head and turning away. "Yes." Kaiba made his way off, returning down the corridor. As he vanished, Anzu giggled, hugging Yuugi again. "No-one is as devious as you my king" she stated with a smile. Yuugi blushed. "You are." Yami groaned as he continued to pull at the ropes that bound his wrists, he'd been trying for however it had been since Yuugi and the others had left him and all it had done was make his wrists red and sore. He turned his head to the door as he heard it click open. "Hello Yami.." Yami tried to respond, he growled when once again, his words were blocked by the gag. He glared at Kaiba, it was clear he wasn't stopping by to help him. He pulled at the ropes again, trying to move himself towards the edge of the cage, just so he could get a decent view of what was happening. Kaiba smirked as he walked over. Yami kept his eyes focused on Kaiba, glaring angrily, pushing himself close to the edge. Kaiba grinned darkly. Yami tried to talk, just wishing to know what Kaiba wanted, why he was back, but he couldn't get a single audible word out. He cursed being so bound and shoved inside the cage like he had. Kaiba chuckled and simply closed the cage door shut, locking it. Yami called out when Kaiba turned the lock, he hadn't known the door had been unlocked the entire time. He mentally cursed himself for having wished he had tried, struggling harder against the ropes as he glared up at Kaiba, trying to call at him. Kaiba simply laughed and walked out. Yami continued to try and get through to him, he knew he was only giving more to Kaiba's pleasure. He sighed, nothing had gotten through the gag, he hadn't expected it to. He lowered his head, purposely hitting it on the bottom of the cage. Kaiba looked at him momentarily. Yami stared at Kaiba pleadingly, he knew Kaiba would probably laugh again and leave, but he had never felt more helpless in his life, he cursed not being able to do anything, the skin on his wrists already worn and burning red, his ankles would surely be the same soon, he wished he could have done more for Yuugi, he hadn't even been able to help in a way he had wanted to in getting his aibou back. "Well that’s done." Kaiba replied as he rejoined them. Yami sighed, close to tears in his immobile state, he hated himself, he wanted nothing more than for them to just come and finish him off, he hit his head on the bottom of the cage again. "That was quick, I'm surprised he didn't try and escape" Anzu stated. Kaiba chuckled. "He didn’t know it was unlocked." "I'm sure he wouldn't have" Anzu chuckled. "I wonder what he was like when he found out". "None too happy." "I can't imagine he would have been. I wouldn't if it were me" Jou replied. "I suppose he’s now the puppy dog." Kaiba joked. "Funny Kaiba" Jou growled. "I have to admit it, but he is caged like a dog so he has a point". "Awww come on Jou Kaiba didn’t mean it like that." Yuugi reassured. "I bet he didn't" Jou replied, folding his arms. "Now what do we do? I'm sure Yami wasn't successful in anything in that cage, Rebecca can't do anything I doubt. So now what" Before anyone could answer a scream from outside was heard. "What was that?" Jou called in surprised. "It sounded like Mai." Varon said. "What the-? I haven't seen her about since the beginning of all this" Jou called. "Let's go". He rushed ahead of the others, Anzu quickly followed him. Varon rushed ahead, but froze in seeing what happened. "What's wrong Varon?" Anzu asked, turning back to him. "Look." He gestured to the slowly collapsing Mai. "What happened to her?" Jou called. "By my guess she lost a duel…and her soul." "But how?" Jou cried out. "She was powerful with the Seal. What's happening? Are we all falling apart or something?" Varon went closer and gasped in horror. "What is it?" Anzu asked. Varon motioned for them to come closer. Jou and Anzu moved ahead first, looking down worried, wondering what Varon was so concerned about. "That wasn't a duel mates. It was a fight." He said pointing to the splashes of blood around Mai's body. "Mai!" Jou cried out. "I don't understand, how could she-" Anzu started. "It doesn't matter, we have to get her back somewhere safe to rest. Something's not agreeing with us and its not who we though was our only threat". Yuugi nodded. "Come on, where's the nearest room we can use" Anzu asked, turning to Yuugi. "Well I suppose where Yami's trapped would work." "Ah, good choice. He can see it all happen right before him. At the same time, we can keep an eye on him" Anzu giggled, hugging Yuugi. Jou knelt beside Mai, slowly inspecting the situation before turning to Varon, wondering which would take her if not both. Varon smirked lifting her by her legs. "Mate a little help? She's a bit heavy." Varon said, glad that she was unconscious otherwise she'd have slapped him. Jou smiled quickly, thinking about what Mai's reaction would have been, nodding his head as he helped lift her upper half from the ground. Anzu giggled, picturing the reaction as well. "Anzu, you guys have to make sure everything's ready for us when we get back. Is there a bed in that room we can use?" "Yeah it's near Yamis cage." "Oh good, we can force him to watch it" Kaiba chuckled. "Does he always have a vindictive mind?" Varon joked. "I guess" Jou mumbled. Yuugi suddenly went to one knee. "Yuugi, what's wrong?" Anzu cried, lowering herself by his side. "Nothing I’m fine." "You worried me, are you sure it's nothing" "Just a side-effect." "Side-effect to what" Anzu gasped. "Using Exile of The Wicked." "You don't mean it affected you in a similar way, do you?" Anzu whispered. "Way to what?" "Way to what happened to Rebecca, you don't think it's weakening the Oracle, do you?" "No." "Thank goodness. Come on, I think you need some rest too, it's been rough for you lately, you've only just got your soul back" Anzu stated, pulling him into a hug. "You’re just like my mom sometimes." Yuugi teased. "Yuugi" Anzu moaned, frowning. "You're so silly sometimes, I'll be even more if you don't get some rest, I'm worried about you". Yuugi giggled before he gave in. Anzu shook her head before rising, holding a hand out for him to take. Yuugi shook his head, and indicated he wanted to be carried. Anzu nodded, smiling, she understood that he did look tired and a rest was what he wanted, so carrying him made sense. She bent down before pulling him up from the ground, holding him up bridal style. Yuugi smiled back. Anzu held him close as she turned in the direction they needed to walk, glancing back at Jou and Varon. "Are you guys alright? Ready to take her?" she asked. "Yeah." "Alright then" she replied, nodding before moving ahead, holding Yuugi tightly as she walked ahead of them, Kaiba close by. "You alright?" she asked quietly to Yuugi. "Yes I'm fine my angel." "That's good" Anzu replied cheerfully, smiling. She glanced back at Varon and Jou again a couple of times before she turned into the corridor, turning to Kaiba as they approached the room. Yuugi smiled back at Anzu. Anzu turned to Kaiba as she approached the door to the room, halting before glancing back at Jou and Varon, hoping they were doing fine with Mai while she waited for him to open the door. Kaiba muttered something as he flung the door open. Yami lifted his head when the door opened again, still laying on his stomach as he had since being left inside his prison. Anzu entered first, glancing at Kaiba, trying to show that he was the only one that had a free hand to open it. "What am I, a freaking servant?" Kaiba muttered a sense of bitterness in his voice as he walked inside, beckoning the others. "Kaiba, the rest of us are kind of busy holding onto someone" Anzu growled, glaring at him before focusing on where she could lay Yuugi. Yuugi kissed Anzu's cheek in an effort to calm her down. Anzu turned to Yuugi as she felt him kiss her cheek, she smiled meekly. "You sure you're alright?" she asked. "Yes my love." "Alright then" Anzu replied. "Let's get you laid down, I'm sure you need a rest". Yami watched the pair of them, concerned at that Anzu was talking about Yuugi needing a rest. Yuugi eyed Yami and stuck his tongue out spitefully at him. Yami glared at Yuugi, he didn't know what else he could do, he could hardly make the same gesture back and words were hardly of any use to him anymore. Yuugi chuckled softly. Anzu giggled as she noticed Yuugi's enjoyment in taunting Yami. She moved across the room, looking about for where Yuugi had mentioned they could lay him and Mai. Yuugi weakly gestured to the 2 beds in the room. Anzu glanced at him, noting how he looked slightly weaker, Yami also watched worriedly. She laid him down on one of the beds, laying her hand on his forehead. "You alright here" she whispered. "Yes my love... please... give me my deck..." Anzu reached into her pocket, pulling out the deck that she had held onto mostly since Yuugi's defeat, slipping it into his hand. Yuugi smiled, a cruel vindictive one as he summoned Black Magician to keep watch on Yami as the small duellist rested. Yami looked up at the Black Magician as it emerged. He groaned as he wondered why Yuugi had summoned it, he pulled against the ropes around his wrists, growling when they just made his wrists worse. Black Magician chuckled. "And to think I served you in the ancient past.." He said his voice as wicked as his master's. Yami groaned as he struggled more, glaring up at Black Magician with his wicked voice, wishing he could break free just to try and talk some sense into them both.

Black Magician looked over at Yuugi. "Master.." He murmured a little anguished.

Anzu turned from Black Magician from Yuugi, wondering what it was that Black Magician was addressing Yuugi for, Yami too watched the exchange. Yuugi looked over at his favourite monster and smiled softly. "It is all right my mage." He replied. "What's the matter? What's troubling him?" Anzu asked Yuugi. "He's worried for me. You and the others with the Oracle can communicate with our monsters outside of duels." "I see, I'm worried too, the way you seemed a bit weaker after you used Exile of the Wicked" Anzu added, laying a hand on his shoulder. She turned to Black Magician, Yami still struggling as much as he could after hearing Yuugi had really been feeling weaker. "Anzu-san?" Black Magician asked. "What is it, Black Magician?" "Do you need anything from me?" "I'm fine for now, I think its best you follow Yuugi's command, Yami's been a real pain lately, that's where you're needed now for the time". Black Magician nodded. He obeyed her because she and his master were bonded together. Yami glared up at Black Magician as the mage turned to him, still twisting his wrists, only making them worse, burning as they cut into his skin, wearing it down. Anzu smirked as she turned to Jou and Varon, signalling them to move Mai to the other bed The two boys nodded, slowly laying Mai down safely. "She'll be fine you two, there's surely someone that can help her" Anzu insisted. "It would be wise if you not fight." Black Magician told Yami. Yami sighed, ending his struggle for the time, wincing when his wrists rested against his back, burning from the ropes' tight grip, he continued to glare up at Black Magician. He smirked. Yami groaned, turning to Kaiba, there had seemed to be some tension that had built in the return to the room. "What is he gawking at?" Kaiba muttered. "I don't know" Anzu replied, turning to Black Magician. "I doubt you'll have an idea either, but we're hardly going to endure his whining just to find out what he won't tell us". Mai groaned as she slowly awoke. "Mai" Anzu gasped, turning to her. Mai smiled a little. "Hi Anzu." "Are you feeling alright" Anzu asked. "Yeah.. though my arms and left leg are sore." "That's just because of how we found you. I'm sure you'll be fine". "Yeah if only I could've reached my deck I'd have won that." "So you're alright now?" Jou asked. "Getting... wait a second.. Jonouchi is that you?" "Yeah, Varon and I are here. We're here for you Mai" Jou replied. "W...Where am I?" "You're back with us in one of the bigger rooms in the tower. We found you not too far, you scared us". Mai chuckled weakly. "Sorry." "Don't be, I'm just glad you're safe now. Varon is too I'm sure". Varon blushed. Jou chuckled at him before turning back to Mai. Varon glared. "What's wrong" Jou chuckled. "Nothing wrong with it". "Have you forgotten how I feel about her?" "No, I know, that's why I thought it was nice to show you care and how you feel". "All right then." Jou smiled, shaking his head and turning back to Mai. Anzu took still seemed concerned about Yuugi. Yuugi smiled at her. "Yuugi what’s wrong?" Mai asked. Anzu glanced at Mai and back to Yuugi, Jou also turned towards Anzu and Yuugi. Mai looked puzzled as to why Yuugi was in bed. "He's fine Mai, I'm sure he is, he keeps saying it, so I guess he means it". "Ok Anzu-chan." Anzu turned to Yuugi, keeping her hand rested on his shoulder, smiling gently. "I love you so much Anzu.." Yuugi whispered. "And I love you so much too my little king". Yuugi giggled and kissed her lips deeply. Anzu kissed back, smiling as she did, Yami rolled his eyes and looked away, still thinking how he could use Kaiba's tension against them. Anzu hugged Yuugi as they kissed. Yuugi hugged her tighter, just wanting to antagonize Yami while giving his girl as much love as she wanted. Anzu smiled more as she held Yuugi close, Yami turned back to them, sighing before his eyes fell to look at the bottom of the cage beneath him. "Anzu did I miss something?" Mai asked, gesturing to the caged Yami and the couple's wedding rings. "Oh yeah. Well where should we start?" Anzu asked, gesturing to Mai to make the suggestion. "The rings." She giggled softly. "Well, Yuugi and I decided to move our relationship up a level and wed not too long ago" Anzu giggled, hugging Yuugi tightly. Yuugi giggled back as he hugged her as tight as he could. Mai giggled as well. "Congrats you two." "Thanks for that Mai". "No problem." Anzu giggled as she turned to Yuugi, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek before turning back to Mai. "Would you two please quit kissing?!" Yami barked. Anzu scowled as she turned away, glaring at Yami having seen he had gotten past the gag which had slipped down to his neck. He glared at him from the anger rising from their constant kissing, his hands still tied tightly, she was glad it had only been his gag he had gotten past. She stood up, turning back to Yuugi. "This'll only take a second". "Of course my wicked queen." Anzu made her way towards the cage, Yami growled at her as she knelt down before him, reaching out for the fallen cloth. As she grabbed it, he turned to it, biting her hand. She withdrew her hand, screeching as she pulled back, glaring at him. "Black Magician if you may." Yuugi said smiling wickedly. Yami growled, glaring up at Black Magician. "If he may what Yuugi? Don't fight it, you know this isn't right" he called. "Dark Magic Attack.." "What? No!" Yami cried out. Yuugi laughed wickedly and gestured to Yami indicating that he was the target of the blast. Yami gasped, staring at Yuugi in horror, his eyes wide, his bottom jaw hanging, he turned to Black Magician, seeing the attack ready to fire. "Fire." Yami watched helplessly as the orb of dark energy flew towards him. He cried out as it hit him, screaming even from the shock he felt from it, feeling it burning away his energy as all he could do was lay there and endure it. Yuugi cackled loving every ounce of pain he created. Yami continued screaming until the attack eventually subsided, he panted as he tried to get some air inside of him once again. He watched Yuugi weakly, his eyes only half-open before he allowed his head to fall and hit the floor of the cage. Yuugi continued laughing, his once gentle amethyst eyes were a dark sinister red-purple combination. Yami felt his chest heaving with every breath he took in, hearing Yuugi's laughing continuing, he felt more tortured by the fact Yuugi was enjoying his pain so much more than the attack itself. "Haven't you figured it out Pharaoh?! I love and crave your pain!" Yuugi said with an insane smile. Yami lifted his head, resting his chin on the floor of the cage, looking up at Yuugi tired, his once proud crimson eyes now dulled from the experiences, the dark circles clear to the others, his eyelids themselves seeming much darker as they covered half of his eyes. "Isn't that right my friends?" Yuugi asked the others. "Of course it is Yuuge" Jou laughed. "Yes, watching him suffer gives you pleasure after everything that happened before when he locked you away" Anzu added. "Yes you wanted power and didn't care what happened to me and now it's my turn for the power and yours to feel the pain I felt." Yuugi said giving a Kaiba-like laugh. "No Yuugi" Yami rasped, shaking his head weakly. "I was ready to accept my fate there, I was ready to pay the price for messing up. I didn't mean for you to come and save me. Please forgive me, I didn't mean for it to happen to you". Yuugi groaned his hand shooting to his head, trying to fight off his former Yami's lies. "Yuugi, did you see me trying to run away when it happened? Didn't you see me smiling when I knew I was going to pay for my mistake Yuugi? I was ready to go, I never wanted you to suffer, I never expected you to appear" Yami added, tears building in his eyes as he watched Yuugi. "I specifically told you not to play it!!" Yuugi screamed. "I was worried, we were going to lose, you know the Oracle clouded my mind, you said so there and then, you know it messes with peoples' minds. It messed with my mind and its messing with you now" Yami called. "No...that’s a lie.." Yuugi protested before finally collapsing due to the pain Yami caused him. "Yuugi no" Yami cried. He tried to move forward, pulling at the ropes even more, he didn't care the damage they were doing, he had to do whatever he could to see if Yuugi was alright. "Yuugi" Anzu gasped, rushing by his side. He was partially out cold. "Yuugi no" Anzu sighed. She carefully pulled him from the ground, lifting him up and back into the bed, pulling the sheets up to his neck and resting a hand on his forehead. A few seconds later Yuugi awoke as if nothing happened. "Yuugi, are you alright?" Anzu cried in a panicky manner. "Yes I'm fine. Now if you'll excuse me there's work I must do on my own." "What do you mean 'on your own'? We've done everything together so far. At least tell me what you're planning to do". "I'm planning to challenge an 'old friend' to a rematch." "Alright then, but be careful, I don't want anything to happen to you again" Anzu replied. "Relax." "Okay then" Yuugi walked out, an extremely vile grin on his face as he departed. Anzu watched as Yuugi left the room, she turned to Yami with a dark look before returning before the cage, pulling the cloth roughly from his neck, she turned to Jou, signalling him to join her. He knelt down beside her, grabbing a fist full of Yami's hair. Yami winced as Anzu wrapped the cloth over his mouth again, without any way for him to protest. When she finished pulling at the tight knot at the back of his head, she turned to the door in which Yuugi had left. "Good luck my little Yuugi" she whispered.

• This shouldn’t take long..* Yuugi thought as he calmly walked through the city searching for his opponent.

Jou turned to Anzu as he continued to pull at Yami's hair, he could see Anzu's obvious concern following Yuugi's collapse. "Don't worry Anzu, he'll be fine" he insisted. "I'm sure he will be" Anzu replied, nodding. Yuugi noticed the all-too familiar DOOM building. "Heh, excellent. My target resides here.." Inside the building, Dartz turned as he felt the presence from the outside, he had no idea what was happening, he felt as though the Oracle had returned but not to him had surprised him. He began to wonder who the Oracle had chosen this time. "Hello Dartz.. you snake.." Yuugi hissed. "Yuugi" Dartz replied, sounding surprised. "So, it came to you" "Yes.. and I thank you.. for had you not sent Raphael to duel the Pharaoh i never would have gained my limitless power.." "I see, so, you're using my choice in using Raphael to target the Pharaoh as a way to explain how it came to you. So, how many others do you have then" Yuugi cackled. "Many.. including Varon and Raphael.." "So, some of my former helpers. So, these 'many', I assume they include the Pharaoh himself, after all, having seen how you two worked together before, I can only assume he's by your side in this entire thing". "Actually he isn't." "He what? That surprises me, I expected him to be on your side, supporting you. Although it does make sense as you came without him". "Heh he has attempted to thwart my many plans." "And has clearly failed I see". "Correct…however I came to duel not chat." "I understand, I'm not surprised. Fine then, we'll duel". "Heh very well.. your soul will soon belong to me.." "We'll see which soul is taken". "Since I'm the challenger I shall start." "Fine with me". "Your foolish calm attitude amuses me." He said as he drew his first 5 cards. "Well, let's just say I have more experience with the Oracle, or have you forgotten how I defeated Kaiba without a problem and brought the Pharaoh to the brink of surrender. That was until you stepped in and saved him". "Shut up. I'm not the same weak child you knew." "We'll see, the Oracle has changed you I can see, but it certainty made chances in the wrong places". "What?" "Your attitude for a start. At least you're a lot more confident and successful than before". "Your mind games won't work. Your demise begins now! I activate The Oracle of Darkness!" Dartz growled as he watched Yuugi holding the card high, it was clear it would be played, but to have been able to use the copy he still held from the first time would have tipped things in his favour. Yuugi grinned wickedly as the Oracle shined on his forehead. "Well, let's see how well you do this time around with it on your side". "Fine. Now I play Yuugou (Polymerization)." Dartz glared, with the Oracle and a fusion monster, Yuugi would be off to a much better start than he would be. Yuugi sent Gazelle and Bafformet from his hand to the cementary. "Come forth Yuukoku Kenjyuu Chimera! (Chimera The Flying Mythical Beast)" "I thought as much" Dartz sighed. Yuugi chuckled as the 2-headed fusion appeared with a mighty roar. (2600/1800) "Is that the end of your turn" Dartz called. "One set card. Turn end." "I summon Oracle Diablos in attack mode and lay two cards face-down". "How foolish. I play Giant Trunade," Dartz growled as his two cards were removed, the Oracle remaining because of its ancient magic, now his creature was vulnerable. "Now I play Magical Summoning to play a Spellcaster from my hand. So i play Black Magician then a new card you've never seen." "And what might that be" "It's known as Jaws of Kurthia!" Yuugi called as the evil twin of Timaeus appeared, "It looks just like Timaeus. I never encountered that dragon before". "Yes you see its the evil twin of Timaeus." "So that'll make sense why I never saw it before. It would have been fighting against Timaeus, not with him". "Naturally, now I fuse it with Black Magician to form Black Doom Dragon!" (atk 3400/def 3600) Dartz glared up at the creature, atop the dragon's head stood the Black Magician, white symbols across the dragon's body giving it the appearance similar to that of Amulet Dragon, only with the darker skin tone and gleaming red eyes. The dragon roared as it rose to 3900. Dartz turned his attention from the dragon to Yuugi, without the back-up his face-down cards would have supplied and Yuugi's powerful monsters on the field already, things could only get better he hoped, although he was sure it wasn't to be. "Now Chimera annihilate his lowly Diablos!" Dartz groaned as she shielded his eyes from the blast, feeling as his monsters was shattered before him, his lifepoints dropping by 1100. "Now Doom Dragon blast him directly!" Dartz's eyes widened as the blast left the dragon, smashing into him, reducing his lifepoints by more than half of what he had left. "Now to end this. I play Yuugou Kaijyo! (De-Fusion) It's all over for you.." Dartz growled, closing his eyes, he understood that it was over, he sighed, smiling. "Well done, the Oracle chose well" he spoke as he waited for the command. "I separate Doom Dragon so I re-summon Black Magician, now end this! Dark Magic Attack!!" Dartz opened his eyes as the attack came, with the Black Magician's boost from the Oracle, his lifepoints hit their limit, he had lost so easily, but proud that the Oracle had seen the power it had brought out in Yuugi. Yuugi smiled evilly as he watched. Dartz made no resistance to the attack nor showed any sign of pain as the attack engulfed him, the Seal shrinking around him. Yuugi looked a little surprised but made no movement to stop it. Dartz felt the Seal as it surrounded just him, robbing him of his soul Yuugi chuckled softly. "Farewell.." Dartz dropped to his knees, his body falling as he no longer possessed the ability to stop it. Yuugi smirked as he walked over to him and knelt down, taking the few things Dartz had left that channelled the Oracle then left holding them and Dartz's soul card in his hands. Anzu turned to Jonouchi, she felt different than when Yuugi had left, she felt stronger, something was different and that could have been it, but she couldn't be quite sure About 10 minutes later, Yuugi returned to the group still with a slight smirk. "Yuugi" Anzu called happily, making her way over to him and pulling him into a tight hug. Yuugi hugged her back with a grin. "What’s with that look?" Anzu asked with a smile "I won that's what." He replied showing the sort of pendant he had taken from Dartz upon his victory. "You beat Dartz" Anzu giggled. Yami glared at them both, Jou having released his hair shortly following Yuugi's leaving. To beat Dartz meant Yuugi was on an entirely different level of darkness than Yami had thought he was. "Yes. He was far easier to beat than when Yami over there duelled." Yuugi said with a laugh. Yami sighed turning away, Yuugi continued to mock him, he hadn't used the Oracle nor held an edge of Dartz in his duel. He couldn't even attack when he was scared of losing Yuugi's soul through an attack. "All he could play was Orichalcos Diablos and a facedown card both of which were useless thanks to Chimera and Black Doom Dragon." Anzu giggled proudly as she hugged Yuugi tightly, Yami glanced back, trying not to look as surprised and concerned as he felt. Yuugi grinned, enjoying every bit of attention and affection he got. "That's great Yuuge, you've proved you can stand up and easily defeat the former leader of the Oracle to prove your dominance, you truly are the leader and now everyone knows that" Jou called proudly. Yuugi blushed as his grin widened. "Thank you Jou." "No problem, after all, it is the truth" Jou chuckled, giving Yuugi a thumbs up. Yuugi giggled and returned the gesture. "I wonder where Honda got off to.." "Yeah, me too, I haven't seen him since he led you to where I was with Yami when I agreed with him" Jou replied, feeling hateful of himself in the final part as he spat it out. "Don't worry it's ok now Jou-kun." Yuugi told him. "No its not, I worked with him against you" Jou sighed, looking at the floor. "I should have known better, but I couldn't help myself and went against you". "Jou.." Mai said gently. "What is it, Mai?" "You weren't yourself when this happened." "But I should have been, I should have seen what was happening, but he blind me" Jou growled. "Speaking of him, he's probably blinded your sister.. not that we need her." Yuugi replied. "I haven't seen Shizuka for a while now, it would be nice for her to be around, but I'm not risking her, she's not really much of a duellist, so its best to leave her out of this" Jou agreed. "Hmm.. perhaps that kid with the Fairy-tale deck.." Kaiba suggested forgetting his name for the time being. "You mean Leon? What about him? I think we're fine as we are" Anzu replied. "But it is a good idea if we want to recruit him". "Yes...good idea Kaiba." Yuugi replied, looking thoughtful. Anzu turned to Yuugi as he answered. "The problem is we have no idea where Leon is or how long it'll take to get him onside. He's probably back home, that's a long way from here and it'll mean a lot of trouble, especially if Siegfried gets involved". "Are you suggesting I cannot defeat them?" "I never said that, I'm just saying its a long way to go, we're strong now, but Siegfried getting involved will just make things last longer. I know you can beat them, you've been able to beat everyone so far". "All except one.." "That doesn't matter, you beat her before, she just got lucky". "Still the defeat is real." "Don't worry about that, she's gone now, she won't be a problem, no-one's a problem anymore" Anzu replied, shooting a glare at Yami as she finished for him to return the look. Yami returned the look but it was more of a pained look rather one of anger. "Looks like its finally taking it effect" Anzu replied with a grin. Yami groaned, looking like he was trying to curl himself up from the pain. Opening his eyes again with a much weaker glare, the dark circles under his eyes even clearer than before. "What's up with his eyes anyway?" Yuugi asked a little confused. "Its because he's been left so weak. As the darkness in you grows, it takes him apart bit by bit, he's on the verge of falling apart, he has been for a while now. Ever since you locked him away the last time in fact he's been close to falling apart“. "Eventually he'll be gone for good, right?" "Right, it won't be long now, the way he's squirming is evident to that" Anzu replied. Yami groaned more, twisting his wrists more as he grew more desperate to free them from the tight ropes, wincing as they cut deeper into his skin. Yuugi chuckled. Yami stared up at Yuugi as he chuckled, groaning more, pulling tighter at the ropes, droplets of blood falling from where his wrists had been brought to their limits. Yuugi grinned wickedly. Yami sighed, trying to talk back, knowing full well that they wouldn't get through the gag, but at least to show he was still fighting back. 'If only I could get through to him. It's him I scared of losing, I've lost him so much already, there has to be a way to pull him back' he thought. Jou watched with a smirk. Yami tried more to drag himself to the edge, just wishing Yuugi would hear him out. Feeling the blood sliding down his wrists, wondering if Yuugi or Jou had seen from their smirks, Anzu turned to Kaiba also smiling as Yami continued his attempts of getting words out beyond muffled pleas. "He's so pathetic.." Yuugi taunted. "I know, its fun, I'm almost going to miss taunting him when he's gone" Anzu added, turning back to Yuugi. "Don't worry I'm sure we can find a new target." "Yeah, but they won't be as fun" Anzu sighed. "I guess no plan is perfect". "I'm sure over time they will be." "I suppose, so, what should our next move be I assume you still want to duel him, or are we leaving him like this until his time runs out" "Hmm.. tough decision." Anzu chuckled at Yuugi's reply, Yami sighed, lowering his head. "It is really." "I'm sure it is". Yuugi looked deep in thought. Leon arrived outside the tower, having decided to visit Yuugi following the KC Grand Championship, he decided he wanted to make sure everyone was well since. "I guess I should see what this is all about" he muttered Yuugi's eyes lit up as he sensed a new presence. Yami kept his eyes focused on Yuugi as he struggled, groaning and wincing with each movement, most causing the pain in his wrists to flare, wondering what was up with Yuugi's sudden change in attitude. Leon made his way inside, looking around in awe at the area, he felt like he would have loved to have lived in a place like it. "Heh I believe our target has arrived." Yuugi said with a grin. "Target?" Anzu repeated. Yami also repeated the word, only for two groans to come as the result. "Yes. Leon." "I see, so you already have plans for him" Anzu chuckled. "Correct my evil queen." "Good, always one step ahead my evil king" Anzu giggled, hugging him, "Well I don't know about that." He said acting modest. "Of course you are, go, I'll keep an eye on Yami, surely it's you he's here to see. You, Jou and Kaiba. Go and see him". "All right." Yuugi replied, as he Jou and Kaiba the Oracle disappearing from them for now. Anzu kissed Yuugi on the cheek as the Oracle disappeared from his forehead, Jou moving beside Yuugi. "This won't take long at all" he claimed with a smile. "You’re right." Anzu nodded, smiling proudly as Jou made his way to the door, laying his hand on the handle. Yuugi smiled back at Anzu before Jou opened the door and they left. Anzu waved as the three left, turning to Varon and Mai with a smirk before turning to Yami with a darker smirk, Yami glared back weakly. Jou laid a hand on Yuugi's shoulder, smiling confidently Varon smirked back. "You two ready?" Yuugi asked. Yami looked from Anzu to Varon, wondering what they were up to, the worry rising inside of him. "Yeah" Jou answered, Kaiba simply nodding as a reply. Yuugi smiled as Leon approached them. "Hi Yuugi, Jonouchi, Kaiba" Leon greeted cheerfully. "How have you guys been?" "Fine and you?" Yuugi asked. "I've been good too". "Good to hear." "I came by to see how you were all doing, glad to see you're well. So, you know who owns this tower I see". "Yes." "Oh really, are they nice I'd like to meet them sometime, but I'm sure they're busy". "Heh if only you knew." Yuugi replied surprised Leon hadn't actually figured out the tower belonged to him and Anzu. "Well, what are you guys doing around here then?" "Oh you know this and that. Follow us we'd like to show you something." "Oh, OK" Leon replied cheerfully before making his way towards Yuugi. Yuugi hid a smirk as he and the others led Leon into the room they came from. "What's this thing you want to show me?" Leon asked as they halted outside of the room, Jonouchi grinning widely. "Just follow us inside." Leon nodded as Jonouchi pushed open the door, he glanced inside, noticing Anzu, Mai and Varon before spotting Yami in the cage. He gasped, Yami turned to him, trying to warn him, nothing clear reaching him as Yami struggled more. Yuugi grinned. "Wh-what's going on?" Leon asked, turning to Yuugi. "Anzu-chan, mind telling him?" "This tower belongs to us, we're taking over and little Yami here didn't like the ride, so we're keeping him here until his time runs out" Anzu laughed. "What? I don't understand. That Yami guy looks exactly like Yuugi. More like the guy I was duelling in the Grand Championship. I don't get it, there's two of you? And you've locked him away because of what?" Yuugi chuckled at his naivety and signalled for Anzu to continue. The Oracle began to shine on her forehead. "The Oracle is what we trust in, Yami didn't like the idea so when we recruited the others, he was reduced to this" Anzu continued, pointing down at Yami. "Now we've chosen for you to come with us, join us or lose your soul in a duel". Leon's eyes widened as he grew afraid. "What do you say?" Anzu continued Leon looked too nervous to speak. "I think we scared him with the choice Yuugi" Anzu chuckled. "Maybe that or seeing Yami and you together, especially with Yami locked up like this". "Yes I agree my evil angel." Anzu chuckled as she watched Leon, Yami also noting how terrified Leon looked, trying his best to call out to Leon to run and get away. "So do you wish to duel me?" Yuugi asked grinning. Yami shook his head at Leon, trying to persuade him to run, his calls all muffled and left as nothing but inaudible cries. Anzu grinned as she watched Yami before turning to Yuugi. "W-Well I guess I’ll duel." Leon replied. Jou turned to Yuugi. "Don't use the Oracle. We're just testing him." Yami continued to struggle, Leon had no idea what he was leading himself into. Anzu nodded in agreement is Jou. Yuugi sighed but nodded. "Don't worry, we can still get him onside when he loses" Jou added. "You think?" "Yeah, once he sees the power, he'll want to join". "All right." Jou smiled before moving away, standing close to Anzu, between her and the cage as he grinned, watching Yuugi and Leon. "So who goes first?" Leon asked. "It doesn't matter" Yuugi replied. "You choose". "I suppose you can start then, Yuugi." Leon replied smiling innocently. "I'll start with Green Gadget (atk 1400/def 600) in attack mode, move Red Gadget to my hand and one card-face down". Leon drew, and smiled. "I play Kaichoo Glife (Glife The Phantom Bird) in attack mode." He called as a large red bird that bore a strong resemblance to Crimson Sunbird appeared. (1500/1200) Yuugi stared up at the monster on Leon's field, it was just stronger than his own monster and Leon had the chance of attack. "And now Glife's special ability activates. When he's played he can destroy one magic or trap card on your side." Leon chuckled good-naturally. "Sorry Yuugi but there goes your facedown card." "Damn, now there's nothing to help my Green Gadget". "Now Glife attack his Gadget monster now!" Yuugi did nothing as his Green Gadget was destroyed, his lifepoints falling by 100. Leon: 8000 Yuugi: 7900 "That ends my turn." Leon said. "Fine. I'll summon Beta the Magnet Warrior in attack mode" Yuugi called. "Beta, attack his Glife now". Leon shielded himself as his life points fell by 200, to 7800. "I'll end my turn there". "My turn then. I play Gouyoku Natsubo (Pot Of Greed) to draw 2 more cards." "Anything you can use against my monster?" "Actually yes." Leon smiled. "I play Cinderella in attack mode and she lets me play my Kabacha No Bajyoo (Pumpkin Carriage) in defense mode. Cin. :300/600 Kabacha: 0/800 "Oh great, these fairytale monsters again". Leon giggled. "Yes their great aren't they?" "Oh sure, for a three year old". Leon frowned a little. "What's that mean?" "You heard, I can't believe Pegasus even made such cards. Come on, grow up Leon, I know you have a bond with them but you've got to get serious in this game". Leon looked puzzled. "Anyway since Cinderella is summoned i play Glass No Kutsu (Glass Slippers). This magic card gives Cinderella 1000 more points." "Oh joy" Yuugi hissed, glaring at the princess monster. Cinderella's attack rose to 1300. "And now thanks to her slippers she can attack directly!" Yuugi growled, he knew full well from his and Yami's duel against Leon how tricky his deck could be. He glanced at Anzu and Jou before turning back to Leon again. "Now attack directly!" Leon called even though he was still confused by Yuugi's crack about his Fairytale monsters being for 3-year-olds. Yuugi groaned as the slipper raced towards him, shattering against him, he glared back. "See, only a kid would enjoy stories with a glass slipper being a major part and in this case a weapon”. He looked puzzled once again. "Anyway since I struck you directly," He giggled softly. "Your monster gets it's own pair of slippers however it loses 1000 points." "Beta in slippers?" Jou moaned. "That's odd". "Great, now Beta's much more vulnerable" Yuugi growled. Leon looked at the now Magnet warrior which had its own slippers and smiled. "He looks much cuter like that wouldn't you say Yuugi?" "Like Jou said, bizarre is more like it" Yuugi snapped. "Finish your move". "Very well. I place one set card and end my turn." "Good, my turn" he called drawing. "Gouyoku Natsubo (Pot of Greed). I'll draw two cards. Great, one is Watapon. And I'll sacrifice it for a combo you'll remember. Black Magician Girl. And even then, I'll activate Sage's Stone to summon Black Magician". Leon smiled. "They can't attack anyway." "I know, but they'll come in handy the instant they can". "Ah well. Is that all?" "One card face-down and then it is". "My draw. I activate my Typhoon magic card to destroy your facedown." "No, not again" Yuugi hissed. Leon giggled softly and nodded. Yuugi watched as his card was taken from the field, discarded into the graveyard, glaring at Leon. "Come on Yuugi, don't let him get the better of you" Jou called. "We know you can beat him easily" Anzu added. "My fairies are tougher than they look Yuugi." "I noticed". "Although I still don't get what you said before." "Just that you rely on cards that younger kids would associate with, grow up Leon, this words isn't like fairytales". "Anything can be a fairytale if you use your imagination, Yuugi." "Imaginations like that are better off not surviving. Just look at what Yami's imagination of stopping us left him like. You can't fight fate with thoughts, you'll just lose like he did". Leon just smiled. "I summon Mori No Okami (Forest Wolf) in attack mode." (1800/300) "Oh no" Yuugi growled. "Yep. Now Okami destroy Beta!" Yugi groaned as Beta was eaten by the wolf, reducing his lifepoints by 1100. Leon: 8000 Yuugi: 6800 "And now with Beta destroyed, Cinderella gets a new pair of slippers raising her attack by 1000 and at the end of my turn I get Beta on my side." "Damn, this isn't going well". "Now Cinderella attack him directly!" Yuugi groaned again when the slipper smashed against his lifepoints again, knocking him down another 1000 lifepoints. Leon smiled ending his turn as Beta appeared on his side. Yuugi growled as he watched Beta appear on Leon's side of the field. "Fine, I'll summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior in defence mode. And I'll activate my Heavy Storm magic card". "Oh no!" "Oh yes, now all your magic and trap cards are destroyed so much monsters aren't so useless". Cinderella's attack fell back to 300. "Good now, Black Magician, attack his carriage, Black Magician Girl, attack Cinderella". Leon groaned as his monsters were wiped out. Leon: 6300 Yuugi: 4500 "And since Gamma's in defence mode, I'll have to end my turn". Leon smiled and drew. "I activate Inochi No Misu (Water Of Life) to bring back Cinderella in defence mode which in turn brings back my Carriage in defence mode." Yuugi watched Leon draw his card, Yami also watched silently, pulling at the ropes further. Jou glanced at him, quickly finding the drops of blood, nudging Anzu. "Hey Anzu, look". "Heh, we tried to warn him not to fight back. Yugi'll pleased to learn that something like that happened". "Great" Yuugi growled, staring at the field. "And are you planning to do anything with them?" "Yes I'll sacrifice them." "What?" Yuugi called. "Fine, let's see what else your pathetic deck can create". Leon continued to smile. "Now i summon Hekisatoru-di (Hex Trude) in attack mode. (2600/?) "Oh no, that thing" Yuugi hissed. "Now Hex take out his Black Magician!" "Too bad Leon, I activate Magic Cylinder" Yuugi called. (couldn't see a sub name) Leon screamed as his life points dropped to 3700. "Are you done playing around?" Yuugi growled. "I have a duel to finish winning". "I set one card and end." "Good" Yuugi answered. "I draw, lay one card face-down and activate Magic Formula, adding it to my Black Magician, making him stronger than your creature. Now, Black Magician, attack!" "Bad decision Yuugi reveal facedown. Holy Barrier Mirror Force!" "No, my monsters!" Leon giggled. "Fine, I end my turn". "Very well. I draw. Hex Trude direct attack!" "Yuugi, do something" Anzu called. "Go, Zero Gravity!" Yuugi shouted. "What's that do?" "It'll swap your monsters into their other mode, for your monster, it'll go into defence mode". Leon groaned. "Ah well that ends my turn." "Good. I'll play Shisha Tensei (Monster Reincarnation) to move Black Magician back to my hand. With Gamma still on the field, I'll summon Alpha in defence mode alongside it and that'll be my turn done". "All right. I switch Trude back to attack mode and have her attack Gamma!" Yuugi shielded his eyes as Gamma was eliminated, Anzu gasped as she watched, Jou and Yami also watching with wider eyes than normal. "Damn, I take it that's your turn over" "Yes." He said Trude's attack going to 3000. "Fine, I'll lay one card face-down and play Card Destruction" Yuugi called. "Meaning we throw away all of our cards and draw the same number. And then I'll summon Kanseki no Kyohei (Giant Soldier of Stone) in defence mode. That'll end my turn". Leon discarded the 2 he was holding and drew 2 more along with his new card which he grinned softly at. "What's so good? You drew a good monster or something" "No but a powerful magic card. I activate Raigeki!" "No!" Yuugi called out. Leon smiled. 'Great, that's my face-down card useless for now and even now, he's got a huge lead, with that creature of his, I've only got a couple of turns to save myself' Yuugi thought. "Trude attack him directly!" "Yuugi!" Jou and Anzu called out in unison. Yuugi growled, glaring at the creature as it slashed at him, groaning as his lifepoints were knocked down severely, leaving him with 1500. "That’s all." Yuugi growled as he pulled another card, laying a monster face-down in defence mode and a card face-down. 'Come on Leon, summon a monster already' he thought, glaring at the field. "That ends my turn". "I summon Tetsu No Kishi (Iron Knight) in attack mode. (700/700 normally with Tetsu No Hans (Iron Hans) in cemetery 1700/700) "Thanks for that. I activate my trap: Black Magic of the Revivial Coffin (Dark Renewal). Now I sacrifice both your monster and my monster in order to summon Black Magician". "What are you sacrificing?" I have to sacrifice your new monster and one of my own: Alpha". "Very well." "As much as I'd like to sacrifice your Hex, I can't. But I have to sacrifice the monster for Black Magician. Now finish your move". "I set a card." Yuugi smirked as Leon laid the card. "Turn end." "Its a good thing you didn't attack. And now you've sealed the outcome of the duel. I play Ten Yori no Housatsu (Card of Sanctity). Then I'll lay one card face-down and play Hijyoo Shoku (Emergency Provisions) to gain 1000 lifepoints" Yuugi called. "And it doesn't end there". Leon smiled, enjoying the combo. "Now I'll play Jiware (Fissure), you won't be smiling now". "So that’s why you played Dark Renewal!" "Exactly, that and to get Black Magician back. Now, Black Magician, attack him directly. Leon screamed his life points falling fast. Leon: 1200 Yuugi: 1900 "I'll lay one card face-down and end my turn". Leon drew but had nothing left to beat Black Magician. "Congratulations...you win." Leon replied, smiling. Yuugi smirked as Leon did nothing. "I assume your turn ends now" "Correct my friend." "Go Black Magician, finish him off" Leon groaned softly his life points hitting 0. "Game over" Yuugi stated. "Yeah, I knew you could do it Yuugi" Jou called happily. "Same, I told you that you could beat anyone" Anzu added, just as cheerful. Leon smiled. "Excellent duelling." "Thanks, now I have one question for you. Are you ready to join us?" Yuugi asked. Yami turned to Leon, trying to call out to him, he knew instantly that if Leon would remain and refuse, Anzu or Yuugi would try to hypnotize him, he shook his head, trying to signal to Leon to get out before they could, Anzu glared at him. "Why do that?" Leon asked innocently. "You can become more powerful, come on Leon, you know you want to show your brother you can do it" Yuugi replied. Yami continued to try to stop Leon, mentally cursing when it seemed it wasn't working, Anzu turned back to Yuugi and Leon, watching them both as Yuugi stepped towards Leon. "Siegfried? What about him?" "Don't you want to prove how strong you can be?" "I can with the deck I have." "Sure, with a deck of puffy fairies and princesses, he can't take you seriously with that, no-one can" Yuugi snorted. Leon frowned slightly. "But my deck is special to me.." "Maybe, but you won't be respected the way you want, you'll be ridiculed. No-one will see that its special, they'll be focusing on how weak it looks" Yuugi hissed. Yami shook his head, Leon seemed too wrapped up in listening to Yuugi's words, trying to fight against them, Anzu giggled as he could hear Yami's muffled pleas between Yuugi's claims. "That's not true!" "Yes it is, admit it" Yuugi protested. "Hey Leon, why not just see how it feels If you don't like it, we'll just take it back?" Anzu suggested. "Of course, because of how the Oracle works" Jou whispered to himself. Yami turned to him, staring wide-eyed before turning back to Leon, trying again to signal it was a trap. "Fine then." "Good, then we can sort out that baby deck of yours, someone like Rebecca would fit it, but you have power that you need to unlock elsewhere" Yuugi grinned. "Those cards are much to weak for you, you need to prove yourself". Yami shook his head more, practically trying to scream at Leon that it wasn't going to work for him, that it was a trap, pulling at his ropes, only making his wrists worse. Leon looked at Yami and walked over. "Leon, what are you doing?" Yuugi called. Leon looks at the cage, Yami wore a somewhat pained expression. "Leon, come back from him" Yuugi commanded. Yami looked up at Leon, finally his calling had caught his attention, he sighed as he looked up pleadingly, someone had to know that he was trying for the best. He winced again at the pain in his wrists before he gave up there, laying them on his back. "But Yuugi-kun he's in pain.." Leon replied, still not understanding Yuugi was evil. "He's just upset because he's in there" Yuugi scowled. "Actually, Anzu and I noticed something during your duel" Jou called. "He's been struggling with those ropes on his wrists to the point where they've dug into his skin and made them bleed. That's why he looks in pain". Yami nodded as he looked up at Leon, wincing again and glancing back to see the droplets of blood sliding down. Leon's eyes widened in horror. Yami turned back to him, Yuugi growled as he stepped towards them. "Come on, you going to sit around crying all day or are you going to try the Oracle?" he growled. "Come on, we're not waiting around for someone to tell us what to do. Leon, let's just get this done now, the sooner you bond with the Oracle, the sooner you'll see how you feel". "But Yuugi.. this doesn't feel right.." Yami nodded his head in agreement to Leon's statement, Yuugi rolled his eyes. "Listen, either you do this or you can see what its like to up against the Oracle instead. Make up your mind, we're not playing baby games and fighting against the power of the Oracle. Unless you're willing to admit that you're weak if you refuse it and wish to end up like Yami there". "At least those dorks are leaving me alone." Alcina murmured. "Hey, did you hear that?" Anzu hissed. "Something tells me another baby just arrived". "Yes I agree." Jou replied. "Great, she's back again" Yuugi sighed. Yami lowered his head, pressing his forehead against the base of the cage, he couldn't believe she was going to see him like this, he wouldn't even be able to fight back like before. Anzu walked past Jou, standing close to Yuugi. "Come on out, diaper-queen" she snapped. "Diaper-queen?" Leon asked, confused. "Long story" Yuugi replied. "Tell me. I'm not going anywhere." "Fine, this bratty kid who likes to wear diapers keeps following us around. Normally Yami gets a good kick in teasing her as well, its an easy way to get him onside for a bit, but it looks like this time, you can help us out. We like to tease her because she dislikes embarrassment. Despite the fact she wears a diaper". "How old is she?" "4 years I think" Yuugi sighed. Leon restrained a snigger. Yuugi smiled and turned to the door where he knew she had to be hiding. Alcina walked in slowly. "Well, well, look who it is" Anzu spat. "The diaper-queen returns". "Don't you think your being a bit mean?" "No way, she fights back, she's a little brat" Yuugi stated. "I am not you small-fry!" Alcina growled. "You know you are, admit it, like you did last time" Yuugi laughed. Leon somehow felt sympathetic for the 4-year-old child. "What's the matter Leon? Come on, it's fun" Yuugi asked, turning to him. "I.. I'm not sure." "Aw, come on, you'll like it once you're tried it". "Well what should I say?" "Anything you think she won't like, anything you think will embarrass her" "Well you and Anzu go first. I need an idea." "Alright. Hey, baby, wanna play a game of grow up?" Yuugi called. "Yeah, come on, you can't wear diapers forever, unless you're a real diaper-queen" Anzu added. "I agree I may use a fairy-tale deck but even I don't wear diapers anymore!" Leon taunted. "Hah, that's the spirit Leon. Even fairytales are too adult for her". "That did feel decent." Leon replied. "Aw, come on" Yuugi sighed. Yami lifted his head, looking up at Leon, feeling hopeful that he could help the others with his resistance towards both the Oracle and taunting. "What?" "You've got to want to feel more powerful and just wait til she turns on you, even the others saw it and turned on her". "Then keep insulting her." "Well, come on diaper-queen, too embarrassed to fight back because of last time?" "Shut up!" She barked. "Come and make me if you can" Yuugi dared. "Ok you asked for it!" She said and tackled him. Yuugi fell back, slamming against the bars of the cage, still her tackles were tough. Yami cried to Yuugi as slid down, clutching his stomach, glaring at her. "That's it, let's just get rid of her once and for all" "Yuugi-san are you all right?" Leon asked his voice full of concern. "I'm fine" Yuugi growled as he slowly picked himself up. Without thinking, Leon tackled Alcina. "Leon" Anzu gasped. Yuugi and Yami also watched in surprise as Leon rushed away from them to tackle her, their eyes wide as they watched it. "No one harms my friend, got that diaper dweeb?!" Leon barked, his anger finally tapped into. "Diaper dweeb" Yuugi laughed. "That's a good one. I knew you had it in you Leon". Yami sighed, his hope gone with the tackle he had watched. Leon smiled. "Yeah I guess I did." Yami groaned, smacking his head on the base of the cage, Yuugi laughed as he watched Leon, impressed that he had done it. "Good work, maybe you'll understand how you'll like the Oracle". "Yes maybe..” Mokuba looked at Noa with adoring eyes. "What's up Mokie" Noa asked, noticing the look. "Nothing nii-sama." "Mo-Mokuba" Noa gasped, surprised that Mokuba had referred to him with the name he had only beforehand referred to Kaiba with. "What is it Noa-kun?" "Nothing, you just surprised me is all". "How?" Mokuba giggled. "By calling me, nii-sama like that, I thought you only used it to refer to Seto". Mokuba frowned, scowling hatefully in his blood brother's direction. "Not any longer." "What's the matter? Are you still upset about before when his loyalty was split?" Mokuba nodded. "Plus about the past.. Noa-kun.." He dropped his voice to a whisper. "I wish you were my blood brother." "I see" Noa replied, wrapping his arms around Mokuba and pulling him into a hug. "What do you think about that? Think about it.. you could take KaibaCorp over and we could run it together like real brothers would." "I guess we could" Noa answered with a smile. Anzu glanced at the pair, rolling her eyes as she turned away, they were even plotting against someone on their side, she could see that maybe something not so helpful could wind up coming from it. Mokuba smiled back, kissing his step-brother's cheek affectionately. Yuugi looked at his wife. "Anzu what’s wrong?" "Nothing Yuugi, lets do this before anything else happens". "You’re lying. Something's on your mind." "Really Yuugi, nothing we have to worry about for the time being. I wouldn't want to make you worry about something that won't happen". Mokuba continued to smile at Noa. Yuugi nodded. Anzu smiled as Yuugi gave up continuing, wrapping her arms around his neck gently for a moment. "You ready to recruit our newest partner?" "Yes." Kaiba glanced at Mokuba and Noa, they had been whispering to each other following the moments in which Anzu and Yuugi had been sure they had gotten Leon onside, he wondered what they had to say that required whispering. "Noa-kun?" Mokuba asked. Alcina gets back up after Leon got off her. "What is it?" Yuugi glared at Alcina as he noticed her rising. "I love you...maybe even more than a brother." "Awww, that's sweet Mokuba" Noa replied, smiling. "Maybe I feel the same". Mokuba blushed darkly. Noa chuckled, stroking the top of Mokuba's head, ignoring the fact that there were others about. Mokuba giggled softly, his amythest eyes shining. Noa smiled as he watched Mokuba giggle, bringing Mokuba closer. Mokuba smiled back, never wanting to leave Noa's loving embrace. Anzu glanced back at Yuugi having watched the pair, noticing Kaiba's change in attitude, he didn't seem so confident and arrogant like before, but more like he was feel less than happy about Noa and his brother growing close like they were. Kaiba walked over to Yuugi and Anzu. "Have you noticed those two?" He asked referring to Noa and his baby brother. "Yeah, we have" Anzu replied, watching the two younger boys. "What do you suppose is going on with them?" "I have no idea, but I think they're growing closer, much closer". "Like how?" "Like closer than brothers. Think of it as a place between brotherly love and the type of love Yuugi and I share" Anzu answered turning back to Kaiba. "You mean.." "Yes". "I think I'm gonna puke.." "Calm down Kaiba, its not like its the end of the world. Besides, we have bigger things to work on. You could leave the room if you wanted or focus your attention elsewhere" Anzu replied, glancing over her shoulder at Yami who kept his head down. "You think I’m happy my little brother could be gay?!" "I can hardly see you jumping for joy, but at least he's not with someone worse". "Like who?" "Like maybe the other dark spirits from the Items, he could be with anyone but he chose someone close, that has to mean something". "That’s true." Anzu nodded and turned to Yuugi as it seemed Kaiba was calming down. Yuugi smiled at Anzu. Anzu returned to smile and turned her attention to Leon. Leon smiled. "Are you two ready?" Anzu asked, looking between Yuugi and Leon. "Yes." "Good" Anzu replied, stepping back from Yuugi as Yami lifted his head, hearing the words. Yuugi stared at Yami, briefly. Yami watched Yuugi, trying to give him a look of begging him to stop, but with how weak he felt, he couldn't manage it as much as the one of exhaustion he gave Yuugi. Yuugi giggled evilly softly. Anzu turned to Yuugi having not seen the exchange between the two. "What's funny Yuugi?" she asked. "Is it that we've got Leon to see the truth?" "No, Yami." "Oh" Anzu answered, turning back to look at Yami. The Pharaoh himself struggled weakly against the ropes around his wrists, watching Yuugi, the dark circles holding strong, trying to call through the gag, sounding just as weak. "He's pathetic, huh Leon?" Anzu giggled as she turned back to Yuugi and Leon, grinning as she awaited Leon's reply, Yami also turned his head towards Leon. Leon nodded, with an evil grin. Yami groaned as he watched, closing his eyes as he did. He turned back to Yuugi, there wasn't any hope in the tower anymore. "Anzu, now I'm ready to duel Yami." Yuugi said. "Good, Yuugi" Anzu giggled. "Let's get Leon onside and then we can drag him out of there. It'll be a shame when he's gone and we won't be able to torment him further". "Ah well I bet diaper-queen over there will be more fun". Anzu grinned at her, Yami tried to shuffle backwards, worrying about the duel ahead Yuugi had just mentioned. Alcina only glared as Noa undid the lock on Yami's cage with a spiteful grin. Yami felt his heart quicken again, pounding against his chest, trying to move backwards, getting nowhere fast, staring with wide eyes at the now unlocked door, Anzu smirked at him, seeing the evident fear in his eyes. Yuugi grabbed him by the ankle and pulled him out with Jou's assistance. Yami cried out, trying to resist as he was dragged out, wincing as his wrists began to burn from the cuts the ropes had made, trying to kick back at Yuugi and Jou, failing to win in the struggle, finding himself dominated easily. Yuugi giggled wickedly. Yami started up at Yuugi fearfully, wishing he could see his real aibou, he could barely recognize him through the dark looks Yuugi had given him. "Get up you worthless shell." Yuugi hissed. Yami didn't move, he felt frozen as he stared up at Yuugi with wide eyes, Anzu continued to grin darkly watching it all. "Get up!" Yuugi snarled. Yami winced, turning away as Yuugi shouted, trying to concentrate on getting free, nothing working, Anzu made her way towards Yuugi slowly. "I said get up now!" Yuugi shouted. Yami turned onto his side, keeping his eyes tightly shut, refusing to conform as the others had, Anzu stopping by Yuugi side, towering over him. "You must enjoy pain, don't you? Well how bout this?!" Yuugi shouted, grabbing Yami's hand in a death-grip determined to break his fingers. Yami cried out, screaming through the gag as Yuugi gripped tightly, shaking his head, feeling tears of pain instantly build, his heart thumping against his chest hard. "If you don't want your fingers broken I suggest you do as I say." Yuugi said, with a malicious smile, one that Anzu always loved to see. Yami continued to scream, even if he could fall under their command, the ropes around his ankles would trip him instantly, he felt the tears slide down to the left side of his head as he twisted, trying to escape Yuugi's grip. Yuugi gripped tighter, his smile growing more vile. Yami screamed again, he only struggled more, feeling the pain reaching breaking point, he felt like his fingers were going to break any second, Jou stared down at him without emotion as he stood close to his head. "Jou stay back he's mine." Yuugi replied. "Will do Yuuge, just getting a good view". "Take the gag out. I want to hear his screams." Jonouchi nodded before lowering himself onto one knee, reaching over Yami's head, slowly untying the gag from the back of Yami's head, Yami biting his bottom lip, trying just to suppress his pain to groans as Jou brought the cloth away. Yuugi briefly let go, before he grabbed again in another bone-crushing grip. Yami let go of his lip, screaming as loud as he could in pain, his eyes snapping open as he heard a crack, feeling as at least one or two of his fingers' bones brake, screaming more, closing his eyes again as he began shaking his head wildly, sending tears both into the air and throwing them against the ground. Yuugi laughed wickedly as he gripped even tighter. "Yuugi. Yuugi, I'm begging you. Please don't do this" he cried out, panting for breath between the cries. Before he could continue, he instantly carried onto into a fit of screaming and cries. "But I love your pain." "No Yuugi, I'm begging you" Yami cried out before shaking his head again, feeling the tears stream across his face quickly. "Please. Aibou! No!" Yuugi froze as he heard him speak the Japanese word for ‘partner‘. Yami sobbed as he felt Yuugi's increasing grip freeze, panting as he cried, refusing to look back, certain that Yuugi was giving him a dirty look or curse him, he couldn't bear to see Yuugi like it any longer. "After all I've done to you, you still call me partner?" "Th-that's because y-you're still Yu-Yuugi. M-my ai-aibou, I-I can't see you as t-the same one, b-but you're still him" Yami sobbed. Yuugi gasped softly as he let go, dropping to his knees. Yami began to breath deeply as his hands fell limply following the release, his chest heaving as he took in the breaths, wondering how the word could have affected Yuugi, he had begged using the term before, maybe because of how much pain and torment he had endured at the height of the moment, using it then had been what had gotten through to Yuugi and saved the rest of his hand. "Who am I...what is my purpose for being?" Yuugi asked softly. "Yuugi, are you alright?" Anzu asked, moving closer to him. "What's wrong ? You had him where you had wanted him all along. What trick has he used?" Yuugi remained silent for a moment before speaking. "What am I doing?" Yami didn't look back, but the quiet did make him wonder what was happening, Anzu glared at him. "Yuugi, you want I should carry on?" she asked, lightly placing her foot above Yami's wrists. Yuugi slowly nodded. Anzu grinned before stomping down, pressing hard against Yami's wrists, sending the Pharaoh screaming again. While she was doing this, Yuugi slipped out of the room taking off his Oracle stone and tossing it on the ground, and walked away. Yami kept his eyes shut, screaming, crying, even kicking at the air, having no idea that Yuugi left, Jou glanced at Yuugi as he did. "Anzu.. in case you didn't notice Yuugi just took off." Mai said. "Took what off?" Anzu called, pressing down harder on Yami's wrists. "I mean he left." "What?" Anzu gasped, turning behind her, glaring, she knew this was because of Yami, she pressed down more, leaving Yami to cry out more. "You did this". "Hai Anzu-sama." Mokuba replied. "Aibou" Yami cried out, shaking his head as he heard Mokuba agreeing, hearing of Yuugi's leaving. "Aibou! Aibou!!" Kaiba glared hatefully at Yami. Yami paid no attention to the glares of Anzu and Kaiba, he just focused on the searing pain, feeling his wrists as the bones were pushed like his fingers had, feeling them coming close to the same fate, crying, screaming, just wanting Yuugi back to save him.

• Did I really do all this?* Yuugi thought as he kept walking.

Yami felt his heart breaking inside his chest, he couldn't believe that not only had he been reduced to nothing more than a useless 'shell' as Yuugi put it, but now his closest friends were putting him through torture and Yuugi even gone.

• Anzu.. if you can hear me.. tell me..* Yuugi said mentally hoping those with the Oracle had a link.
• Yuugi?* Anzu replied, sounding surprised, glad she could hear him over Yami's screaming.
• Yeah it's me.*
• What's the matter Why did you leave This is great, you'd love to see this, I think his wrists are about to break*
• Something he said.. its eating away at me..*
• What is it? I'll make him pay for it, I'll break his legs afterwards*
• Well its just.. after all I’ve done he still calls me partner*
• It's a mind game, he's trying to get to you, he couldn't possibly mean it after everything, he's in denial, I mean, he preferred you breaking two of his fingers over just standing up*

Yuugi chuckled. *Your probably right I’ll be right back with you in a moment.*

• Good, if his wrists break before then, you can have his legs or something else, maybe finish off his hand and then work on the other on. I'll be waiting sweetie*
• I'm only outside not like 2 days away.* He teased.
• Good, then come quick, I think they're going to go any minute* Anzu giggled.
• Coming my evil girl.* He replied, gleefully as he put his stone back on and re-entered.

Yami felt his throat tighten, his stomach turning, his chest burning, he felt like he was running out of tears and yet they wouldn't stop coming, taking in deep breaths between each scream or cry, his chest heaving with each, he wished the real Yuugi would break free and return to save him. "Anzu?" Yuugi asked. "Yuugi, you're back" Anzu called happily. "Yu-Yuugi, ai-aibou" Yami cried out as he heard Anzu address him. Yuugi groaned softly as he heard the cursed word. Yami sobbed as he felt Yuugi's presence, Anzu turned to him smiling, silently reminding him that she believed it to be a head game. Yuugi nodded. "You want to carry on where you left off?" Anzu asked with a dark grin. "Let's do it together." "Oh I like it, together we can break what's left of his wrists quickly, then I'll leave you the pleasure of finishing off his hands after he pulled that 'aibou' stunt" Anzu chuckled. "All right." Anzu grinned as he removed her foot from Yami's wrists, hearing him breath deeply and quickly, kneeling close to his wrists, grinning up at Yuugi as she laid her hands down on Yami's wrists gently, before they would deliver the fatal blow. Yuugi came within inches of Yami's wrist, and lifted his boot which had a spike at the very end for where his foot would meet the ground when he walked. Yami panted as he felt Anzu's hands touch his, she looked up at Yuugi, hoping she could avoid being caught when Yuugi would ram the spike at Yami. "Don't worry it doesn't cause pain unless I drive it into someone's skin." Anzu stared at Yuugi, surprised still that he had chosen it as the weapon, she turned to Yami before tightening her grip slightly. Yuugi grinned sinisterly as he drove the spike down into Yami's wrist. Yami screamed out louder than he had before, a blood-curdling scream as he felt the blood pour from his wrists faster, trying to pull away, feeling drops of blood slipping from his mouth in addition to his wrists. Yuugi repeated the movement only driving further in. Yami cried out, screaming at the top of his lungs, he had never been in so much pain, he kicked away at the nothing at the end of him, he couldn't do anything else other than what he was already doing. Yuugi slowly yanked his boot from Yami's wrist, but in the process drove the spike further. Yami coughed as he felt his heart shatter, pulling forward as best he could, throwing up from all the crying, only to be pulled back afterwards when Jou grabbed his shoulders, he looked up at Yuugi and Anzu as he pulled Yami back. Yuugi finally managed to pull his boot free, which was now caked with Yami's blood. Yami panted, shaking from the shock and pain, he felt like he couldn't be more alone, the physical and emotional pain, the hurt from the betrayal, it made the sorrow after losing Yuugi the first time seem like nothing. Yuugi looked down at Yami's blood with a savage grin. "I bet your blood tastes delicious.." "Ai-aibou" Yami whispered as his chest heaved, getting in the lost air. "A-aibou, wh-where's my aibou?" "That naive child no longer exists!" Yami didn't reply, he just laid still, his body twitching, from the pain, from the agony, from the sneer force that Yuugi had overwhelmed him with. "Yu-Yuugi" he breathed. "What?" "Yu-Yuugi, I-I'm sorry, I should h-have protected you, f-forgive me aibou". "Too late!" Yami groaned, bringing his knees closer up, trying to curl himself up, feeling the blood drip from his wrecked wrists, feeling the cold tears slide down his face, his entire body hurt. "Enjoying the pain?" Yami sobbed quietly, turning his face to the floor before shaking it slowly, he only wished to see the real Yuugi, even the stabbings at his wrists had left the ropes in tact so escape was still far from reality. Yuugi laughed wickedly. Yami bit his bottom lip as he faced away from Yuugi, hiding his face, drawing his knees up higher towards his chest, wincing as his wrists throbbed from the overwhelming pain. "Anzu if you like you can finish off his wrists." "Go ahead, after all, he won't do anything to stop you, then you can finish breaking the rest of his fingers if you want, he's not duelling any time soon anyway". Yami suppressed a sob, shaking his head slowly, pleading silently for Yuugi not to do it. Yuugi lifted his boot one last time, ready to deliver the final blow. Yami drew his knees up close to his chest, shivering in pure fear as he sensed Yuugi's preparation for the final blow to his wrists, feeling the tears slide past his left eyelid, biting the skin below his bottom lip, just to try and stop himself releasing it so easily. "Farewell.." Yuugi taunted as the spike drove into Yami's wrist. Yami screamed long and hard as he felt it stick in even further, turning his face to the floor as he screamed out, crying hard, Jou watched him, stepping back, with a look suggesting he wasn't enjoying it as much as he had expected to. Yuugi grinned wickedly as he pressed harder hoping he could pop a vessel or something. Yami screamed against the floor, trying to get away, finding it useless to move without damaging his wrists further. "Ai-aibou. Please, no!" he screamed. "He doesn't exist you fool!" Yuugi cackled, as he could feel Yami's wrists about to fall under the immense pressure, "Yuugi" Jou called. Yami shook his head, his arms shaking roughly. "Yes Jou?" Yuugi asked, keeping the pressure. "Calm down, you'll snap his hands right off his arms" Jou replied. "That’s the idea.." "Yuugi, I'm begging you, don't do it, I'll do anything" Yami cried out. "Too late…" Jonouchi turned to Yami, seeing him struggle, he bit his bottom lip as he glanced at Yuugi. Yami shook his head again, wishing there was something he could do to escape his fate. "Please Yuugi, I mean it, I'm sorry for everything. Don't do it, I'm begging, what do you want me to do to convince you?" Yuugi turned to Anzu, wanting her say first. "Hm....what could we use him for? He is good to toy with, besides, if we snap off those scrawny hands, they'll be of no use anymore" Anzu mumbled in thought to Yuugi. "But Anzu, a few more moments and our biggest enemy will be gone for good." "Wouldn't it be fine to cause him as much pain as possible? That death-grip worked well and it wasn't threatening him in the same way this is, his soul must be on the verge of collapse anyway". "I thought the plan was to out-right destroy him.." Yuugi said sounding disappointed. "We will, this just means he'll suffer for longer, more slowly until his soul is nothing". "What good will that do?" "It'll be more fun I thought, his wrists are bleeding as much as they're going to, they're useless now, there's only so much pain he'll get from those and it'll be reaching its peak". "True.." Anzu grinned, nodding as he reply. Yuugi nodded back as she exerted a little control over him. Jou sighed as he looked down at the growing puddle of blood beneath Yami's limp wrists, hearing the Pharaoh's breathing come close to normal once again, the occasional sob making its way out. Yuugi stared at Jou. Jou looked back at Yuugi as he felt the other's eyes on him. "You ok Jou?" Varon asked. "Y-yeah" Jou lied, not taking his eyes away from Yuugi. "Your lying." Yuugi replied. Jou sighed, he knew he couldn't get away with it, but it has only been recently that he had been grabbing Yami's hair and pulling just to add to the torment that he had been suffering. Yuugi smirked. Yami laid motionless, staring dully ahead as he felt his heart pounding against his chest, his breathing close to normal again, his heart damaged beyond repair. Yuugi stared at him, pondering what to do next. "Yuugi" Yami whispered. "Hm?" "What ever happened to what you said before? About not wanting my death to be a murder? A bloody murder" "What are you talking about?" "Before your duel with Rebecca, you said to Anzu you didn't want to use weapons or make that place a murder scene, you didn't want a bloody murder". "Yeah I said that. So?" "Isn't this what you said you didn't want? This is what do tried to stop happening. A weapon. A murder. My blood. My death the way you didn't expect it". "What are you trying to say?" Yuugi asked, though in reality he knew what Yami meant he was just teasing him. "You're going against yourself, I told you the Oracle would control you. You're taking me out the way you said you wouldn't. Deny it all you like, shut me up if you want, but its the truth and you can't hide from it, you can't fight it. Someone will fight back". "The Oracle isn't controlling me!" Yuugi insisted. "That's what you say, but you know its true" Yami replied weakly, staring blankly ahead still, refusing to look back. "No!" Yuugi growled. "No what? You can't accept the truth. If you were facing the Oracle from the other side, you'd see. You never wanted to kill me before, you've wanted to ever since the Oracle took you and left me". Yuugi gritted his teeth, refusing to give in to Yami's little head games. "I can see that, you know its the truth, the Oracle will protest for you, but you know its right. You won't show me mercy, you won't let me survive, you'll continue until I'm dead and continue from there thinking I was a pest, not trying to save you". "But you are a pest standing in my way of ruling this world with Anzu." "You know I'd never stand in your way, I just want my Yuugi back, my aibou, the one that was really in love with Anzu. Just to see him once more, can't I even have that for a few moments if I'm to die here like this? Like a helpless animal instead of a Pharaoh" "Fine if you'll shut up afterwards." "I will, I just want to see my Yuugi before I lose him forever". "Heh how poetic." Yuugi replied before he willingly stopped the Oracle's control allowing as Yami said for the 'true Yuugi' to surface. Yami turned back to Yuugi, smiling weakly at him. "Hey a-aibou" he whispered. "Yami? Is that you?" Yuugi asked, for the first time in what was now days in his old innocent, sweet voice. "Yu-Yuugi, I'm glad to see you in time". "In time? What do you mean, mou hitori no boku?" "Yu-Yuugi, I'm going to die" Yami replied, keeping his smile up, his eyes half-open, half closed above the dark circles, he had to keep strong for this real Yuugi. Yuugi's eyes widened in horror. "But why Yami?" "Because the Oracle's held onto you for so long, a darker side of you born because of it has been tormenting me for the past couple of days. And here I am, recently caged and gagged, left tied and bleeding. Listen to me, prove to me that you do care about me and Anzu and the real world, you have to fight the Oracle, fight it with your very spirit and heart". Yuugi looked at Anzu, almost afraid she would either force the Oracle on him again or turn on him. "D-don't worry Yuugi, I know you can do it, you're the only hope this world has, I'm no use anymore, I've been left as nothing, my time is up. At least no-one will come after you anymore, my memories will stay lost and you will stay safe". "No...Yami...please..." Yuugi begged, tears coming to his eyes. "I'm sorry Yuugi, I tried everything. Aibou, go on in the world strongly, fight back against the Oracle, live happily, I'll miss you when it takes over again" Yami whispered. "There has to be a way I can save you.." "I wish there was, but the Oracle will take you again, your body will deliver the blow, Anzu will help it come back. I wish you could stay out forever, that'd save me maybe, but to think that you'll be prisoner to the Oracle after I'm gone, it just hurts”. "Aibou I'm so sorry.." "Don't be, I love you aibou and you're the most important thing to me, if you're safe, even if its because I'm dead and the Oracle shields you from trouble, I'll be alright. If there was anyone I would want to send me from this world, it would be you. You'll always be my true aibou". Perhaps it was because Yuugi said he was sorry but at that moment, his Oracle stone began to crack. Yami tilted his head slightly, smiling weakly at the fact he could see Yuugi's Oracle stone cracking, he was proud that Yuugi was beginning to fight back. It continued to crack for a few seconds until it was at the point where it would soon shatter. Anzu leaned forward, laying her hand on Yuugi's shoulder, glaring at Yami before turning to Yuugi, feeling worried about the Oracle's control over Yuugi and how it was falling apart. "Yuugi, we should hurry" she whispered. Jou watched with equally shocked eyes as the stone finally gave way, with one last crack it shattered. Yami stared at the stone, smiling as he watched the shards fall, he looked up again, proud of Yuugi for finally breaking through, he hadn't expected seeing Yuugi to make any difference. "Yami what happened?" Yuugi asked. "You broke the Oracle's hold, you finally broke free. To be honest, I didn't think it would let you, I thought it would fight back and try to take over you again" Yami continued weakly. Yuugi wrapped his arms around Yami. "I'm sorry...for everything I did to you.." Yami winced as he felt his wrists pressed as Yuugi wrapped his arms around him, he felt faint, but that didn't matter, he closed his eyes as he laid his head against Yuugi. "No worries aibou, I'm just glad I could help you be free". "What just happened?" Anzu asked herself. "How could this happen to me?" "What's up?" Yami asked Yuugi. "I nearly killed you…and I was enjoying it.." "Don't worry, that was the Oracle that was doing it. Besides, the only damage is two broken fingers and both wrists broken and stabbed. Otherwise I'll be fine again soon". "Yuugi…" Jou whispered stunned that their plans had come so close only to fail at this point.. Yami turned his head to Jou, that was when he remembered. The others were all still under the Oracle's control, Anzu his biggest concern, she'd try to hypnotize Yuugi and kill him the instant she could. "Aibou...if I’m controlled again...and I kill you...promise me that you'll never forget me.." "I won't, I'll never give up on you, even if you're about to kill me, I'll still think of this you, the true you, you'll be my dying thought, my dying wish, your freedom is more important to me. I'll never hate you, it wouldn't be the true you leading me to it" Yami replied with a smile. "I wish I could take it all back.." "Don't worry, we can't worry about the past now, what matters is you're safe and free from the Oracle". "I wont be forever I'm afraid." "Even if you fall again, I'll still love you". Yuugi sobbed softly. "I'll always love you, Yami.." Yami smiled, trying to roll himself over, falling from his side to his back, wincing as he landed on his hands. He quickly suppressed the look of pain as he tried to shuffle closer to Yuugi. "I know, I forgive you for everything the Oracle made you do. I knew you were strong enough to fight". "Yami?" "What is it?" Yami groaned. "Why didn't you remind me of our good times instead of just giving speeches?" Yuugi asked, curiously. "I tried, nothing I said would get through. I thought maybe if I used those speeches, it would make you think more about the past through it". "How do you figure?" "Because it would make you think from your point instead of me feeding the memories to you from my point. It was about saving you, not make you see things from my side". "Oh…I still remember the day I solved the Puzzle." "That's my Yuugi". "Shh you don’t want to get Anzu any madder do you?" "I know, she'll probably turn anyway. What are you going to do now then?" "I'm not sure." "Maybe we should get out of here. Those ropes cut into my skin before you attacked them anyway so you don't need to feel so guilty about them" Yami replied, glancing at the floor as if he could still them. "We could try." "Okay then" "No Yuugi, don't do it, it's a trap. You know it is" Anzu called, throwing her arm forward and grabbing a fistful of Yami's shirt. "Yami!" Yuugi cried. Yami stared up at Anzu, she was glaring at him as if she was ready to tear his heart out. "Anzu" he called. "Leave Yuugi alone" she snapped, grabbing Yuugi's shoulder with her other hand. Yuugi looked up at Anzu, his eyes wide and fearful. "Come on Yuugi, look at me, you know you want to go back to stopping him from lying. We can always gag him again to shut him up" Anzu growled, ignoring Yuugi's teary look. "No...I...I can't...he's my Yami and I don't want to hurt him." Yuugi whimpered. "Jou, where's that damn cloth?" Anzu hissed. "Come on Yuugi, you said you loved me, we made a pact, don't go and break it now because of him". "But that wasn’t me.." "But I loved you, the real you. I thought the real you loved me. Don't you remember when the Oracle threatened Yami to keep you onside? The darkness was going to swallow him, don't make me threaten you with his life on the line too". Yuugi gasped. "You wouldn't.." "I would. I love you too much to let you slip away because of him. Jou, help me out, I can't do this with just one hand". Yuugi looked at Yami, then at Anzu then back at Yami. He was frozen in in-decision. "Yuugi, don't risk your heart, I don't want you to be hurt because of me. Go with them, remember, I'll still love you aibou". "But Yami..." "I can't let you be hurt because they would hurt me, either way they'll eventually draw you back. Don't let them hurt you like this. "..All…All right…I'll go with them…but promise me…you won't give up on me…" "I'll see you there inside your heart until the end". Yuugi wiped a tear away and hugged Yami one last time before turning back to Anzu. Yami rested his head against Yuugi's head, his chin laying on Yuugi's shoulder as he felt a tear slide down his face. He looked up again at Yuugi then Anzu as he laid helplessly before them, sighing. Yuugi looked up at Anzu, not saying anything but his look said he was hers again, hers and the Oracle's. Yami turned his head away, closing his eyes as he waited for Anzu to do it. She pressed a hand against Yuugi's forehead. "I knew you'd choose wisely" she chuckled darkly. 'I'm sorry aibou. Goodbye' Yami thought, feeling the tears build in his eyes.. 'I'm only doing this so you don't get hurt protecting me.. Goodbye Yami...I'll always love you..' He sent back to Yami before he felt his link with Yami go dead. Yami nodded his head as the light between Anzu and Yuugi began to glow, he felt a tear fall down from his left eye, waiting a moment until the darker Yuugi would return as the light faded. Yuugi screamed in pain before his screams slowly faded away as his horrible transformation was complete again, probably for good this time. Yami bit his bottom lip as he listened to Yuugi's screaming, holding back a sob of despair The Oracle slowly returned to Yuugi's forehead but he still lacked an Oracle Stone to channel it's power. Anzu smiled as she noticed the Oracle returning to Yuugi's head, proud that he was back with them. Yuugi opened his eyes, the red glow returning. Anzu smiled, bringing Yuugi close, holding him in a hug before pulling back with a smile. "How do you feel? Better?" "A little…" "Alright, you ready?" "For?" "For the final blow" Anzu replied, glancing to Yami. "If you need an Oracle stone, we could go look for one first or you could borrow mine". "Yeah lets look for one." "Should we dump him back in the cage then?" "No." Anzu turned to Yuugi, nodding before she stood once again. Yuugi smiled, but it was a hollow one. "Come on then" Anzu spoke, holding out her hand, missing the hollow feature of Yuugi's smile. He took her hand, his smile still hollow. Yami glanced at them as Anzu turned away and left the room, his eyes filled with tears ready to fall loose. As they walked away, Yuugi dropped a card. Yami looked at the card, wondering what it was and whether Yuugi had realized he had dropped it. He tried to shuffle across, wincing the instant he moved, sighing, he wished he had at least tried to have Yuugi untie him before going back to Anzu. Yuugi looked at Anzu slightly. "What's the matter Yuugi? You didn't seem so happy to be back". "Because I feel I betrayed Yami." "Betrayed Yami?" Anzu laughed. "That sounds like the old Yuugi. Come on, you're the one in charge now, Yami meant nothing to you before you let the old Yuugi surface". "Them why do I feel this way?" "I have no idea, maybe its because you don't have the Oracle stone back. I mean, you didn't feel an ounce of remorse when you were breaking his fingers and stabbing his wrists. When he was screaming and crying for you to let him live under your command, you told him it was 'too late'. I'm surprised you didn't kill him on the spot because of how he tried to get rid of you". "Help me, Anzu.. I want the real me back.." "What do you mean the 'real' you? You mean the Oracle help you Or are you trying to fight it" "I want it's help". "Good Yuugi. Well when we find a stone laying around, it'll help you fight back what Yami tried to do". "Ok.." "Good, then you'll feel like yourself again". "Yep." Anzu smiled as she reached the door of another room, she pushed down on the handle before turning back to Yuugi. "There should be one in here". "Ok." She pushed open the door, leading Yuugi into a similar looking room, switching the light on, she moved over towards the corner where a small end-table awaited, like she predicted, an Oracle stone on it. "Where did…? How did…?" "What?" Anzu asked. "I was worried that Yami might break through to someone, so I stored this away". "Oh. Why didn’t you say something?" "Because getting Yami's hopes up would have been better. Besides, you might have told him it was useless. When the old Yuugi really broke through, I didn't expect Yami to let him go so easily". "Oh." "Come here, I want to see how it looks on you. I know the first looked cute, but I want a close look at this" Anzu requested with a gently smile. "Why?" "This really doesn't seem like you" Anzu sighed before making her way to him. "I know but I’ll be back soon." "Yeah and I can't wait for that" Anzu replied with a smile as she held the stone up, slowly lowering it over Yuugi's head. Yuugi smiled. Anzu watched as the thin rope of the stone slowly slipped around Yuugi's neck, leaving the stone itself to fall against his chest. "Activate it.." Yuugi whispered. Anzu smiled, the Seal shining on her head, her own stone glowing before Yuugi's followed. Yuugi's glowed, the combined evil of both flowing into him. Anzu smiled as she looked up at Yuugi, waiting a moment before she expected the Oracle to appear on his head and restore his darker side to return for real. The Oracle did return glowing brighter than ever as Yuugi laughed evilly, the evil in him that had been briefly locked away was free again. Anzu smiled as she pulled back, waiting a moment before coming forward again and kissing his cheek. "Feeling better now?" "Yes better than ever." "That's great. I'm so glad you're back. Now nothing should go wrong again. I didn't know Yami had it in him, I don't think he expected Yuugi to get through like that, we'll have to make sure it doesn't happen again". "But how my love?" "You wanted to kill Yami? Now's your chance to get to do it" Anzu chuckled darkly. "Oh your so evil.." "Well I have to be. Someone hates to hate him that much, after all, he almost got rid of you". "True.. but you did scare me back there, no joke." "I'm sorry, I was just so mad at him. After everything we've done, he plays mind games to make it sound like he and you are still like before. I just wanted to get at him so much. Make him pay for it". "Go for it." "Good, come on, he wants you to finish him off, its only fair on both of you that you do it. "But what about you?" "I don't mind watching, if anything, that'll be more fun for me". "Why?" "Because I like to see him suffer, both he and you want you to be the one to send him off, I think it'd be better for you to get your revenge that way". "All right then." Anzu smiled before tightly hugging Yuugi. Waiting a moment before she released him and moved towards the door, pulling it open Yuugi noticed the card he had dropped and picked it up. Anzu turned to Yuugi as she moved to the door of the room with the others inside, she turned back to Yuugi. "What's wrong? What's that card Yuugi?" Yuugi handed it to her with a smirk. "Unity?" she chuckled. "What was that doing there? Stupid useless card". Yuugi looked stunned to hear her say that. "What's the matter Yuugi?" Anzu asked, picking up on the look "You called it useless. Didn’t you even look at the picture?" "I know what the picture looks like but the card's meaning was what Yami was whining about before". "What is that?" "The way we all used to be, I'm tired to preaching things when no-one listens. We don't need everyone else. We just need you and me. Yami was going on about how you and he were so close and should have been together like the way you two were before through the Puzzle". "Oh...but still I do occasionally miss your friendship speeches." He chided. "Really?" Anzu asked, sounding surprised. "Yeah. they inspired me." "Oh" Anzu replied. "I didn't know, maybe I could use some sometime". Yuugi kissed her on the lips softly. "Thanks my baby." "No problem, I'm here for you and if you want me to be like that, I will be" "Well not all the time. I still love it when your bratty also." "Alright then" Anzu giggled. "However you want me to be, I don't mind being either or both combined into one". "You can be combined.." He gave a evil but playful smirk. "Unless you’re scared.." He teased. "I'm not scared, I'll be both" Anzu laughed, kissing Yuugi again. "Oh yeah? Prove it." He challenged. "On who?" Anzu laughed. "Me. After all you are my wife after all." "Alright then, you should really follow my suggestions seeing as I follow yours" she laughed, playfully slapping his shoulder with the back of her hand. "Come on, we have a job to finish". "Can't we have a little fun alone first?" "Oh alright. What do you plan as this 'little fun'?" Yuugi grinned devilishly and playfully tackled her to the ground. Anzu grunted as she hit the ground, laughing as she looked down at Yuugi before rolling herself over, pinning him to the ground. "Awww no fair!" Yuugi whined. "What's so fair about a surprised attack?" Anzu laughed. "Well you got me there, but Anzu we're only 17 lets just enjoy ourselves like this for awhile." "Of course". Yuugi looked at her seeing a devilish gleam in her eyes, one that meant he was in for a tickling fest. Anzu grinned before bringing her hands down to his waist, just as he expected she began to tickle him. Yuugi began giggling. "A-A-Anzu s-s-s-stop! You know how t-t-t-ticklish i am!" He protested through his fits of giggling. "I can't do that, we're supposed to enjoy our time" Anzu laughed, grinning ni a dark playful manner "You are so going down!" He said, grinning back. "Oh I am, am I?" "Oh yes you are." Yuugi said. Mokuba and Noa heard something coming from another room and walked over to check it out. Yami sighed as he heard the laughs from outside of the room, hearing as Noa and Mokuba made their way to the door, he stared at the cage to his left, he wished he hadn't felt so helpless, even untied his broken hands made him useless. "Mokuba, Noa, help me out here" Anzu laughed as she glanced at them while tickling Yuugi. They grinned evilly. "We thought you'd never ask!" They said getting on their knees and they joined in on the little tickle-fest. Anzu laughed as she watched Yuugi, she had only wished there had been more times like it before, at least more could follow. "Oh come on guys, three against one?" He whined playfully. "What's the matter? Don't like it?" Anzu chuckled. "Of course I do!" "Good" Anzu replied, moving her hands faster to tickle him more. "I haven't had this much fun in years!" Noa replied, gleefully. "I'm sure you haven't" Anzu laughed as she glanced at Noa before back to Yuugi. "Well don't forget I technically haven’t aged in 6 years." "Yeah". "I still despise Gozaburo for doing that. Thank god he’s dead." Noa replied as he began to tickle his stepbrother with his left hand since Mokuba was on his left side. Anzu laughed as Noa turned his hand to Mokuba and began to tickle him, she turned back to Yuugi, smiling in a dark and playful way. Mokuba fell back, laughing trying to wiggle free. Yuugi looked up at her in mock terror though he was still being playful. Anzu giggled at Yuugi as he did so, just tickling him more Noa tickled him faster smiling playfully. Anzu grinned as she continued tickling Yuugi, she just loved his laugh and loved to see him so happy. Jou appeared at the doorway, peering out of the room to see the playful warring. Noa giggled softly as he kept tickling his step-brother, faster with every moment it seemed. Yuugi smiled up at Anzu as she continued tickling him. "How does it feel?" Anzu laughed.. "It feels good, though it will feel even better when its me tickling you." Yuugi teased. "Well maybe we'll test that another time, but not right now" Anzu chuckled teasingly. "Awww why you scared?" Yuugi teased. Mokuba tried to wriggle free of his nii-sama's hold but to no avail. "No way, I'm just not letting you get the upper hand". "Looks like that holds true for those two”. "Yeah" Anzu giggled, turning to Mokuba and Noa. Her hands slowed when she noticed a small darker patch on Mokuba's trousers, he glanced at her before looking down, squeaking at the sight of it. "Mokuba, did you just do what I think you did?" Anzu gasped. "What do you mean?" The younger Kaiba asked, unaware of the situation. "Look down at your trousers". Mokuba looked down and right away, his cheeks lit up bright red. "Sorry Mokuba, I thought you should know" Anzu replied. Mokuba playfully glared at Noa before he pinned the unsuspecting Kaiba down and started to tickle him as a means of playful revenge, Anzu giggled at the sight of them, turning back to Yuugi and movng her hands to tickle him once again. "Looks like Mokie doesn't care and he really loves his step-brother huh, Anzu?" Yuugi asked. "My thoughts about us too" Anzu replied with a smile. "Now, how about we get back to business". She began to tickle him harder, giving him the same look. Yuugi laughed harder, trying to wiggle free. "Like it ?Huh? It's my special game for you" Anzu giggled. "Heh you realize when its my turn to get you, I'm showing no mercy!" He teased. "Oh I understand. And I'm ready for it". "Really now?" Noa glanced at the others through his laughter before back at Mokuba. "Mokie wait" he chuckled. Mokuba giggled as he stopped. "What is it Noa-kun?" "It's just I've been thinking more about what I said earlier. I do love you, more than a brother" Noa replied quietly. Mokuba's eyes widened. "You mean like I love you?" "Yeah". A slight tear came to Mokuba’s eye. "Awww, nii-sama you've made me so happy.." Yami Rena says: "And you've made me so happy". Evil Yuugi says: "So..does that make us each other's boyfriends?" Yami Rena says: "I guess it does" Noa replied happily. Evil Yuugi says: Mokuba squealed happily, hugging Noa tightly. Yami Rena says: Noa hugged back, smiling happily as he held Mokuba close Evil Yuugi says: Unbeknowest to the 2 siblings, Kaiba was watching from a distance, his azure eyes blazing. Yami Rena says: Jou watched beside Kaiba, he felt the urge to snigger at Kaiba's fury, but decided not to, he retreated into the room, turning to Mai and Varon with a grin, Yami also watched him. Evil Yuugi says: "What's going on, mate?" Varon asked. Yami Rena says: "Its Kaiba. Mokuba and Noa have just admitted they both love each other in a different way to brotherly love and he's going to freak out" Jou chuckled, trying to keep his pleasure hidden from Kaiba. Evil Yuugi says: Mai giggled. "Aww thats sweet for those 2. Kaiba though, i dont know what to say." She said. Yami Rena says: "Yeah, I don't think he agrees with it because it's Mokuba and he's been so defensive over him". Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah, i hope he doesnt do something that will have him feeling their wrath later." Varon added. Yami Rena says: "Yeah, same. I don't like Kaiba, but I hardly want anything bad to happen, we're on the same side". Evil Yuugi says: "As crazy as that is to believe Jou-kun." Mai teased. Yami Rena says: "Yeah, I know" Jou chuckled nervously. Evil Yuugi says: "Ugh..how could Mokie do this to me.. god i feel sick.." Kaiba bickered. Yami Rena says: Yami sighed, he felt the same about Yuugi and Anzu, he hadn't wanted them to be together in the way they were, but he knew Yuugi would be happy. Jou turned to Kaiba as he heard the complaining. Evil Yuugi says: "I mean i'd be fine with him and Leon but him and his own step-brother?!" Kaiba continued. Yami Rena says: Jou watched Kaiba, he was sure he too would be upset if Shizuka had been with someone he wouldn't have liked, he sighed, almost understanding where Kaiba was coming from. Evil Yuugi says: "So Mokie do you want to kiss or,," Noa suggested. Yami Rena says: "Sure, let's give it a shot". Evil Yuugi says: Noa giggled softly as his lips met the other boy's in a deep passionate kiss. "For the love of Blue-Eyes.." Kaiba groaned. Yami Rena says: Yami rolled his eyes, wincing at the pain in his wrists, he quickly pushing himself over onto his side, not bothering to watch Kaiba complaining as well as listen to it, groaning in pain. Jou turned back to Kaiba, wondering what had left Kaiba to utter the words. "What is it" he asked. Evil Yuugi says: "Their KISSING!" Yami Rena says: "What" Jou gasped, rushing to Kaiba's side to watch, grinning out of Kaiba's sight as he saw the pair. Evil Yuugi says: "Now i know i'm gonna be sick.." Yami Rena says: "Calm down Kaiba" Jou replied. "Let them have their feelings". Evil Yuugi says: "But their related, damn it!" Yami Rena says: "And Yami told me that he's read in Egypt, they used to marry their brothers or sisters to keep the bloondline pure, just think of this like that". Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba laughed. "You expect me to believe that junk, Katsuya?" Yami Rena says: "It's true, Yuugi even told me he's read it too". Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba's eyes widened. "Yuugi is that true?" Yami Rena says: Anzu glanced back seeing Kaiba and Jou watching, she turned back to Yuugi as he had been the one addressed. Evil Yuugi says: "Actually, yes Kaiba it is." "Oh...my god..." Yami Rena says: "I told you" Jou replied cheekily with a grin. Evil Yuugi says: "Shut it, mutt." Kaiba growled, still being vastly against his baby brother loving another guy, much less his own step-brother! Yami Rena says: "Kaiba, calm down" Anzu added, getting to her feet. Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba slowly walked away taking a few deep breaths as he did so. Yami Rena says: "Kaiba" Jou called. "Where are you going Don't be like this". Evil Yuugi says: "I just need some time alone, Jou." The teen CEO replied. Yami Rena says: Jou sighed, dropping his hands by his sides, glancing back at the others. "Now what" Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi snuck up behind Anzu, hugging her. Yami Rena says: Anzu squeaked in surprised as she glanced back to Yuugi, giggling quietly and hugging back. Evil Yuugi says: "Did i scare my Anzu?" Yuugi teased, Mokuba looked at Noa adoringly after they had broken their kiss moments ago. (And no it wasnt like a 10-minute kiss XD) Yami Rena says: (lolz) "You surprised me" Anzu replied, holding him tightly. "Wow" Noa replied, almost at a loss for words. Evil Yuugi says: Mokuba blushed, too overjoyed to say anything. Yuugi smiled at the 2 boys, happy for them even if their relationship was a bit strange to the normal mind.

Evil Yuugi just sent you a nudge.

Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled at the pair, she understood Kaiba's reluctance to accept, but at the same time was happy for the both of them. Evil Yuugi says: "I love you nii-sama.." Mokuba said, kissing Noa's cheek. Yami Rena says: "I love you too Mokie" Noa replied, kissing back. Evil Yuugi says: "Hold up, I thought you only called Seto that." Yuugi said, both surprised and confused. Yami Rena says: "Yeah, that's what I thought" Jou added. "Did we miss something" Evil Yuugi says: Mokuba giggled softly. "Want me to explain?" Yami Rena says: "Sure". Evil Yuugi says: "Well back when i was with the Oracle and Seto wasn't it angered me to a point where i didn't feel he was worthy of being called that anymore." Yami Rena says: "I see" Anzu replied. "And Noa became like a big brother replacement to you". Evil Yuugi says: "Correct. Now he's my nii-sama." Mokuba replied, cuddling close to Noa. Yami Rena says: Jou sighed, turning back to where Kaiba had left, he couldn't help but feel back for his rival. Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba had just walked back in, after standing outside feeling the gentle wind caress his face when he heard Mokuba say nii-sama. Not knowing of his brother's feelings he figured Mokuba wanted him. "What is it Mokie?" He asked. Yami Rena says: Jou and Anzu turned to Kaiba, worried about how he was going to react to Mokuba's choice, wondering if they would have to sneak into the room just to avoid an explosion. Evil Yuugi says: "I didn't call you, Seto." Mokuba replied. Yami Rena says: Anzu turned to Yuugi, she looked as worried as she felt. Evil Yuugi says: "But you said nii-sama the honorific you always use for me." The puzzled CEO replied. Yami Rena says: Jou turned away from the scene, glancing up at the ceiling, trying to think of an excuse to get out of the way. "I'm gonna see what Mai, Varon and Yami are up to" he lied, stepping through the doorway. Evil Yuugi says: Anzu winked, meaning she understood why he said that. "Your not my nii-sama anymore." Mokuba replied calmly. "Say what?!" Kaiba asked, stunned.

Yami Rena says: Anzu stood before Yuugi, almost like to protect him from whatever was going to happen, what that was she still didn't know. Jou sighed with relief as he safely made it into the shadows of the room Evil Yuugi says: "You heard me." Mokuba replied, evenly. "But why? You've called me nii-sama since we were little." Kaiba protested. Mokuba looked at his older brother straight in the eyes as he steadied himself. Yami Rena says: "Maybe Yuugi and I should help Jou out" Anzu mumbled, grabbing Yuugi's wrist. Evil Yuugi says: "Er, yes good idea," Yuugi replied "When I was with the Oracle and you weren't it angered me to the point where i no longer thought of you as nii-sama." Kaiba made no movement yet as if it hadn't sunk in.

Evil Yuugi just sent you a nudge.

Yami Rena says: Anzu moved towards the door, dragging Yuugi with her, looking about at the three before moving inside. Evil Yuugi says: "If i'm not your nii-sama who is?" Kaiba asked. Mokuba smirked evilly. "Noa is." "Is this a joke? Tell me your joking." Kaiba said. The boys giggled evilly and shook their heads. Yami Rena says: Anzu grit her teeth as she heard the words. Jou stood close to the door, looking nervously when he too heard the words. Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba just turned around and walked back outside and screamed in rage not wanting to give Noa or Mokuba the satisfaction. Yami Rena says: Anzu held Yuugi close as she watched Kaiba turn and leave, she felt bad for him, it hadn't been long before that they had been talking about Kaiba's feelings towards Yuugi. "Why... WHY ME?!?!" Kaiba screamed at the top of his lungs. Yami Rena says: Anzu glanced Jou as she heard the yelling, she felt terrible for him, she accepted Mokuba and Noa together as they were, but to see it tear Kaiba apart, she wasn't so willing to do. Evil Yuugi says: "Anzu you said you'd help Kaiba get set up with the other half of me, well i suggest you do so now." Yuugi said. Yami Rena says: "You mean Yami" Anzu asked, sounding as if Yuugi was mad. She turned to see Yami laying with his back to them, a large patch of blood clinging to his shirt from the collapsed wrists he had been laying on. Evil Yuugi says: "No the side of me that used to be light but we turned evil together." Yami Rena says: "Oh, you scared me for a moment, you used to refer to Yami as your Other Self, I thought you meant him then" Anzu sighed with relief. "I guess that would work yeah, let's do it. But we'll have to keep them out of here for a while, just incase that once-lighter half breaks through again". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes wise plan." Noa smiled at Mokuba. "I think Seto's jealous." Yami Rena says: Anzu turned from Yuugi to Noa as she realized their presence in the room, Jou also looked at them as Noa spoke. "Yeah, having either around at this time would be risky" Anzu replied. "What with Kaiba not liking you two the way you are and how the lighter Yuugi could interrupt things again, its best that neither is around when the time comes". Evil Yuugi says: "What are you saying?" Noa asked. Yami Rena says: "What do you mean Kaiba doesn't like you two together and Yuugi has some unfinished business he'll have to do while his lighter half and Kaiba are gone. Any other time and it'll be difficult if not impossible" Anzu replied. Evil Yuugi says: "All right." Yami Rena says: Anzu nodded as she turned back to Yuugi. "Should we go release him for Kaiba then Give him the other side to you" Evil Yuugi says: "Yes and quick before Kaiba goes completely insane." Yami Rena says: "Right, let's take you out of here before someone realizes what we're up to" Anzu added, grabbing Yuugi's wrist. Evil Yuugi says: "Easier grip ok?" Yami Rena says: "Sorry" Anzu replied meekly. "Just nervous about how everything's going in so many directions. Come on". Yami opened his eyes as he heard Anzu move towards the door, he'd heard everything, at least a part of Yuugi would be safe, that was enough for him. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi smiled at her. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled back as she moved into the corridor, looking back at him, ready to use her Oracle stone to help in dividing his two halves. Evil Yuugi says: "I love you Anzu." Yami Rena says: "I love you too. Are you ready We need to useour Oracle Stones and your Puzzle. That should divide the halves and mean they can be with each of Kaiba and I". Evil Yuugi says: "Which Puzzle? The dark or original?" Yami Rena says: "You hold the dark one right Yami has the original I think the dark would work well, although the original might get pulled into things, it won't make any difference, just helps out if the darker one needs more of a boost". Evil Yuugi says: "As you wish my queen." He said handing over the dark Puzzle. Yami Rena says: Anzu closed her eyes, the Oracle stone shining brightly before the Seal appeared on her head, focusing on seperating the darker side of Yuugi that she was with and the lighter darkness that Kaiba preferred. The dark Puzzle glowing after a moment, she smiled. Yami turned his head downwards as he noticed the light of his own Puzzle shining, the Symbol appearing on his forehead, feeling as the magic Yami Rena says: began to take its effect on Yuugi. Evil Yuugi says: Mokuba watched in awe. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as she opened her eyes, watching Yuugi's own Oracle stone glowing, both stones, both Puzzles, she focused again, closing her eyes again to keep it strong, waiting for the spell to work. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi moaned softly as he felt his other half separate. Yami Rena says: Anzu smile when she heard Yuugi's moaning. Yami too closed his eyes as the magic began to pull the two Yuugis apart, Jou knelt close to him, tired of standing with no reason as he watched out the door at the brighter lighted corridor. Evil Yuugi says: A short distance away, Raphael's stone glowed as though it were reacting to something. "Yuugi.." He whispered to himself. Yami Rena says: Yami groaned as he felt the two Yuugi pulled further apart, Jou glanced at him briefly before focusing on the corridor again. Anzu's smile held up as the two items in her possession shone brighter. Evil Yuugi says: "An...zu its working.." Yami Rena says: "Good, just hand on for a couple more seconds and it'll be complete". Evil Yuugi says: "Ok I will.." Yami Rena says: Anzu nodded, her smile holding up, Jou watching in awe at the different lights shining in the corridor, seeing them stretch along the light that the partially open door let in. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi closed his eyes as it slowly completed. Yami Rena says: Anzu felt the Seal glowing on her head fading, the dark Puzzle and Oracle stone she also held turned to normal. She opened her eyes with a smile. "How do you feel" Evil Yuugi says: He grinned wickedly. "Now i'm truly all yours." Yami Rena says: "That's good, how about your lighter dark half" Anzu asked, turning to the other Yuugi. Evil Yuugi says: He grinned darkly. Yami Rena says: "That's our Yuugi" Anzu chuckled. Yami glanced over his shoulder at the door, his own Symbol and Puzzle's glow gone, he felt terrible, he hadn't intervened quick enough for Yuugi's light to overpower the darkness. Evil Yuugi says: Both Yuugis chuckled softly. Yami Rena says: Anzu held the pair close, smiling as they did so. "Yuugi" Yami called. "Are you alright" Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah i'm fine." Yami Rena says: "Where's the lighter half I have to talk to him" Evil Yuugi says: "Why?" Yami Rena says: "It's about something he said" Yami called, twisting his torso just to try and struggle to get up, wincing as the pain in his wrists flared up again. Evil Yuugi says: "Then tell me." Yami Rena says: "Don't fight me Yuugi, let me talk to him". Evil Yuugi says: "Just tell me!" Yami Rena says: "Its not for you to hear, you impostor" Yami snapped. Evil Yuugi says: That was the wrong thing to say as in a matter of seconds, Mokuba and Noa hovered over him. Yami Rena says: Yami growled at the pair of them, glaring with whatever he had, Jou turned to them as he remained close by. Evil Yuugi says: "Don't ever insult Yuugi-sama!!" The 2 hissed. Yami Rena says: "That's not Yuugi, that's just the Oracle in a shell of Yuugi. Yuugi's the other one, the one I care about". Evil Yuugi says: That just angered them further. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, tell your guard dogs to back off, its you I need to talk to, not them" he called before turning back to them. "And don't you dare tell me how to talk to my aibou". Evil Yuugi says: Mokuba's eyes blazed and he delivered a fierce uppercut to him. Yami Rena says: Yami groaned as he turned away from them slightly more, growling as he felt a srop of blood run down from his mouth, running along his cheek to the ground. Evil Yuugi says: "If you don't want another i suggest you shut up." Mokuba hissed. Yami Rena says: "When did you become my master" Yami hissed, looking back at him with a glare. Evil Yuugi says: "All of us are your master." Noa said. Yami Rena says: "That's what you say, you can't prove that over anyone. You think I'm some sort of punching bag servant I have news for you, neither of you two nor Anzu nor Yuugi nor anyone controls me". Evil Yuugi says: "Oh yeah?" Yami Rena says: "Yeah" Yami challenged, the strain suppressed as much as he could hold it down. Evil Yuugi says: "How foolish.." Yami Rena says: "How so Yuugi hasn't given you orders, he leads you, not the other way around". Evil Yuugi says: "Because they're loyal to me!" Yami Rena says: "I can see that, you tell them to do something, they do it without hesistation. Just like a couple of bratty kids" Yami snarled. Evil Yuugi says: "SILENCE!!!" Yuugi screamed in a demonic voice. Yami Rena says: Yami groaned as he struggled more, wriggling as it trying to escape without being able to you his hands to escape. Evil Yuugi says: "That shut him up.." Yami Rena says: "You think so" Yami laughed cockily. "I hate to remind you Yuugi, but I don't take orders". Evil Yuugi says: "Black Magician.. come forth,," Yami Rena says: Yami growled for a second, struggling more as he heard the mage called again. Evil Yuugi says: Black Magician came forth. "You called, master Yuugi?" Yami Rena says: Yami grit his teeth, feeling his heartbeat quicken as he glared up at the two. Evil Yuugi says: "Heh..i'm about to introduce you to some new cards.." Yami Rena says: Yami watched Yuugi, hiding his worry mostly as he pushed himself slightly, facing Yuugi easier, less on his side but not on his wrists. Evil Yuugi says: "Tell me something. Do you know of a set of fiends from a realm known as Dark World?" Yami Rena says: "I may have heard of them one time, but I can't remember that much, don't tell me you have them. I may not remember much but I can at least remember they're dangerous". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi cackled. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, don't do it, don't use them" Yami called, struggling harder, wincing each time his wrists would burn. Evil Yuugi says: "Too late fool.. I play a spell known as Wicked Canon." Yami Rena says: "Yuugi no, what're you doing" Yami called, his eyes widening. Evil Yuugi says: "Watch.. with this spell i can use 5 deadly magic cards that act with your very emotions!" Yami Rena says: "Don't do it, you know its too dangerous, even on the player's front". Evil Yuugi says: (In case your wondering this is from gx Yami Rena says: (kay =o) Evil Yuugi says: "Guys, would you like to witness this?" (brb Yami Rena says: (kay) "This should be interesting Yuuge, I've never heard of such cards" Jou answered. Anzu smiled from behind Yuugi, Yami twisted his torso, moving it alongside his arms as they tried to move without causing pain, wishing he could move like it without the pain, just to be free. Evil Yuugi says: "Heh the 5 cards are Anger, Hatred, Sadness, Anguish and Doubt.." Yami Rena says: "Well then I guess you have me sorted then. I'm feeling pretty much the first four at this time" Yami growled. Evil Yuugi says: "Excellent...all you have to do is show those emotions.." Yami Rena says: "I'm showing you nothing. You can't control me". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes i can.. for now i play.. Wicked Doctrine of Anger!" Yami Rena says: Yami turned his head away, trying to think of anything else, anything that would stop his anger, his fury, closing his eyes and searching his mind. "Don't do it" he called. Evil Yuugi says: "Too late!!" Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, no!" Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi cackled, as the japanese kanji for Rage appeared on Yami's cheek. Yami Rena says: Yami groaned as he tried to fight it off, the overwhelming feeling that was taking over, wriggling against his binds, shaking his head as he felt it on his cheek. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi continued laughing. "Yes Yami keep expressing your rage.." Yami Rena says: (what ep(s) is that used I gotta see this in action >3) "Yuugi" Yami groaned. "I won't do it, I won't let you take me over". Evil Yuugi says: (135 i believe) Yuugi smirked as his Oracle Stone tapped into the heinous' spells power forcing it to be expressed on Yami. Yami Rena says: Yami groaned as he felt himself failing to stop it, feeling it clouding his mind, his heart, slowly, losing himself to it. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi laughed more, as Mokuba watched in awe wishing he himself could use such evil magic. Yami Rena says: Yami cried out, shaking his head, trying to fight with whatever was left with him as he felt the strengthening. (please tell me its after Judai's gone in that building looking for Johan, before isn't loading >.<) Evil Yuugi says: (its actually during it but he gets stopped by Brron Yami Rena says: (kay, Judais' just about to duel, I think that's the same guy I missed what it said in the subtitle) Evil Yuugi says: "You have no power left.." Yami Rena says: "Yuugi" Yami called. "Stop it now. Don't do it you idiot!" Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi's eyes blazed. Yami Rena says: "Stop ignoring truth and shutting yourself away. Don't be selfish and think of just yourself. You blind idiot, covering your ears from the truth, you're burying yourself in a dream". Evil Yuugi says: "Anzu...get him..." Yuugi seethed. Yami Rena says: Anzu moved forward, glaring at Yami, reaching down and grabbing his right arm. "What should we do then" she asked. Evil Yuugi says: "Doesn't matter as long as he suffers." Yami Rena says: Anzu grinned, tightening her grip on his arm, her nails pressing against his skin. Yami groaned, gritting his teeth. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi smirked. Meanwhile the other lighter dark Yuugi went outside to where Kaiba was. "Kaiba?" He asked. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi" Kaiba gasped, turning to him. Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah it's me." Yami Rena says: "What are you doing here" Evil Yuugi says: "I separated from my twin for you." Yami Rena says: "Twin What I see, so you do like me then" Evil Yuugi says: He nodded, smiling. Yami Rena says: Kaiba returned the smile. "Thanks, I was worried that I was meant to be alone like before. I thought you'd never like me like that". Evil Yuugi says: "I always have.. i was just afraid." Yami Rena says: Kaiba smiled, moving closer to Yuugi before pulling him into a hug. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi blushed a little. Yami Rena says: Kaiba noticed Yuugi's blush, smiling as he felt closer to Yuugi than he had to anyone. Evil Yuugi says: "You know i thought you would go ballistic on Mokie." Yami Rena says: "I felt like it" Kaiba sighed. "I was going to, I didn't know what to do, I felt so angry, so frustrated". Evil Yuugi says: "About what Kaiba-sama?" (He's saying sama because he feels kaiba ranks higher than him) Yami Rena says: "That Mokuba would turn like that, that he would go with someone like Noa, after everything he did, after everything I did, he didn't care about me like I thought". Evil Yuugi says: "Of course he cares about ya." Yami Rena says: "Not like before, not like back then". Evil Yuugi says: "What do you mean?" Yami Rena says: "When I would do anything for him and he would do anything for me. Noa's his nii-sama now, that's what he says, I don't know what to do anymore". Evil Yuugi says: "He still loves you." Yami Rena says: "I can't see his love anymore, maybe he does, but he's not showing it". Evil Yuugi says: "Trust me my love." Yami Rena says: Kaiba widened his eyes slightly, he hadn't ever expected anyone to call him that, especially Yuugi. He smiled and held Yuugi closer, glad that he could finally feel close to someone. Evil Yuugi says: "He still loves you.. but i love you the most.." Yami Rena says: "I know and I love you more too". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi giggled softly as he wrapped his arms around his former rival. Yami Rena says: Kaiba's smile grew as he felt Yuugi return the hug, smiling as he tightened his arms around Yuugi. Evil Yuugi says: "I love you Seto.." Yami Rena says: "Thank you Yuugi, that means so much, I love you too". "Have you ever loved anyone this way?" Yami Rena says: "Not like this". Evil Yuugi says: "But why?" Yami Rena says: "Because I was never able to feel so close, I mean with Mokuba it was a different love and even now, he doesn't care about me so much anymore. Its you I care for". Evil Yuugi says: "He still loves you as a brother." Yami Rena says: "Maybe, not so much, I still love him like that. But is kind of like you and Yami, you liked him like a brother from what I could see, now you couldn't give him a second thought". Evil Yuugi says: "Thats different." Yami Rena says: "I suppose, although I do feel like Mokuba betrayed me like Yami betrayed you". Evil Yuugi says: "He didnt betray you. Your like a second nii-sama to him." Yami Rena says: "A second, I thought I was the first. But I understand" Kaiba replied, hugging Yuugi tighter. Evil Yuugi says: "Do you feel better?" Yami Rena says: "Yeah, much". Evil Yuugi says: "Good, im glad." Yami Rena says: "I'm glad too. You're alright, right" Evil Yuugi says: "Yes i'm fine." Yami Rena says: "Good, I don't want you to be hurt by anyone"> Evil Yuugi says: "Don't be too overprotective." He teased. Yami Rena says: "I'll do my best, I just don't want those who I feel close to get hurt". Evil Yuugi says: "I won't don't worry." Yami Rena says: Kaiba smiled as an answer. Evil Yuugi says: "Want to go back to the others?" Yami Rena says: "Sure". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi smiled as he took Kaiba's hand. Yami Rena says: Kaiba smiled as he felt Yuugi take his hand, he gripped back. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi slowly led him back to the others. Yami Rena says: Kaiba peered inside the room where the others remained, seeing Anzu and Yuugi still close to Yami who continued to fight the power Yuugi was forcing on him, his groans growing ever weaker. Evil Yuugi says: "I wonder whats happening." The other Yuugi asked. Yami Rena says: "I don't know, but it sounds like whatever it is is working in your twin and Anzu's favour". Evil Yuugi says: "Oh, how interesting." Yami Rena says: "Yeah, sounds it". Evil Yuugi says: "Do you want to help or no?" Yami Rena says: "I guess we should, it'll make you happy I'm sure, both you and your twin". Evil Yuugi says: "Come on lets go." Yami Rena says: Kaiba remained still as he allowed Yuugi to go first, following him inside. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi walked in with a smile. Yami Rena says: Anzu turned to Yuugi and Kaiba as they entered. "Hey you two, back so soon. How're you doing" Evil Yuugi says: "Great." Yami Rena says: "Yeah, we're doing good". "Great, want to us us Yami's putting up quite a fight" Anzu chuckled darkly. Evil Yuugi says: "Sure we'd be glad to help." Yami Rena says: "Good, what do you think we should have them do to help, sweetie" Evil Yuugi says: "I'm not sure." Yami Rena says: "Hm, he's pretty much immobile already, he's not really fighting back physically. But there has to be something that they can do". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes but what?" Evil Yuugi says: brb Yami Rena says: "That's the question, hm..." Yami turned back to them, glaring with eyes filled with hate, he couldn't stand being used like he was, just as entertainment, he struggled harder, wincing at the pain but fighting back more than he had previously done. "Damn it, what's up with you and being determined to do this stuff" he growled. "Yuugi, this isn't you. Think of what you said just before you went Yami Rena says: back to them, don't fall for their games. You're still my aibou, remember Even if you do kill me, I'll still see you as my aibou, but how can you still see me as your Other Half if you really do kill me" Evil Yuugi says: (bk Yami Rena says: (wb ^_^) Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi growled doing his best to ignore him. Yami Rena says: Yami growled, still struggling to try and get his arms loose, glaring at Yuugi. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi chuckled softly. Yami Rena says: Yami bit his bottom lip as he glared at Yuugi, wondering what it had been that Yuugi had found amusing. "I mean it, remember what you said, you'd always be close to me. Why do you hate me so much like this" Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi remained silent. Yami Rena says: "What is it" he growled. "Why do you want to kill me like this I don't hate you, but you've turned on me, is it really all the Oracle Evil Yuugi says: "Perhaps." Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, answer me" Yami growled. Evil Yuugi says: "Be quiet,," Yami Rena says: "Make me" Yami dared, narrowing his eyes angrily. Evil Yuugi says: "I dont have to." Yami Rena says: "So you don't want me to then" Yami replied, grinning cockily. "That or you can't. Either way, I won't be quiet". Evil Yuugi says: "Don't test me.." Yami Rena says: "Or what" Evil Yuugi says: "I'll wipe you out." Yami Rena says: "Wipe me out how I don't care what you say, my real aibou is in one of you somewhere, he'll fight back. Your threats mean nothing". Evil Yuugi says: "I wouldn't say that again if i were you.." Came the voice of Black Magician Girl. Yami Rena says: Yami's eyes widened, staring in horror as he noticed Black Magician Girl appeared. "No. No, not you too" he gasped. Evil Yuugi says: She giggled evilly and stood by Yuugi's side. Yami Rena says: "No, what did he do" Evil Yuugi says: "He opened my eyes and brought me to the winning side." Yami Rena says: "No, he's blinded you. You've all been blinded!" Yami yelled, struggling even more than before. Evil Yuugi says: "Believe what you want but we aren't leaving." Yami Rena says: "What do you mean 'not leaving' Where were you going" Yami asked, pausing his struggle. Evil Yuugi says: "I mean not leaving Yuugi." Yami Rena says: "No, you will, leave him alone. If you have to target anyone, choose me, just leave aibou alone" Yami called, lifting his shoulder from the ground. "I told you he's gone!!" Yuugi screamed. Yami Rena says: "No, he's still here, in there somewhere. How else would he have broken free if he didn't exist" Yami screamed back. "I know he exists, you're nothing, you're just an empty threat until you take someone like him". Evil Yuugi says: "I disagree, Pharaoh.." Came the sneering tone of Yami Bakura. Yami Rena says: "Bakura" Yami snapped, turning his head to Bakura, glaring at him with pure hatred. Evil Yuugi says: He chuckled softly. Yami Rena says: Yami narrowed his eyes at Bakura, wishing he would just vanish as quickly as he came before turning his attention back to Yuugi. Evil Yuugi says: Bakura folded his arms, the millennium ring hanging around his neck loosely. Yami Rena says: "What are you doing back here" Yami growled without looking back at him. Evil Yuugi says: "Although my Ring is powerless to the Oracle i can still obverse if i wish." Evil Yuugi says:

• Observe

Yami Rena says: "I knew that. I suppose you're here becaue you've always wanted to see me like this. You make me sick Bakura". Evil Yuugi says: "It's your father's fault.." Yami Rena says: "It is not, I don't even know anything about my father and I know you're lying!" Yami screamed at him. "Don't bring him into any of this. Don't you dare use my lack of memories against me. If you must tease me about it, safe it for the battle ahead" Evil Yuugi says: "I'm not lying...Atem." Bakura said, speaking Yami's true name with utter spite. Yami Rena says: Yami's eyes widened in surprise, he stared at Bakura, motionless as he laid there, focusing on nothing other than the name he thought had been erased from existence. "Wh-what did you just call me" Evil Yuugi says: "Atem." Bakura repeated with more malice than before. Yami Rena says: "I-is that my name How did you find that out Even if you had your memories, it was wiped from everywhere except the one place I'd have to find it in the Memory World we'd travel to". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes it's your name fool." Bakura said, obviously growing more angry with him. Yami Rena says: "How did you find it" Yami asked, his eyes widened further. Evil Yuugi says: "Remember a part of me still exsists in the Sennen Puzzle." Yami Rena says: "I don't understand. The Puzzle doesn't contain my name". Evil Yuugi says: "True however it contains the entrance to your Memory World." Yami Rena says: "You've been there Why didn't you try to win That's what I thought you'd do. This world wouldn't exist if you had". Evil Yuugi says: "Because then my vessel wouldn't exsist." Yami Rena says: "You don't care about that, you wanted to destroy the world". Evil Yuugi says: "I know that!" Bakura snapped. Yami Rena says: "So why spare the world So you could see all this through" Evil Yuugi says: "Partially." Yami Rena says: "Damn you. You sick twisted moron. I'll kill you!" Yami shouted, reviving his struggle, twisted his torso, wishing that the ropes around his wrists would just vanish. Evil Yuugi says: "I'm not done yet!" Bakura barked. Yami Rena says: "What more coud there possibly be" Yami snapped. Evil Yuugi says: "If you would let me get a word in edgewise you'd realize i'm no longer interested in destroying the world!" Yami Rena says: "And why's that You'd have the ultimate power. You're hardly the type to follow orders from anyone, especially Yuugi". Evil Yuugi says: "Because when Zorc was destroyed, the part of me that wanted to rule the world was also! Now im just a casual tombrobber, only here to keep my vessel, Ryou safe." Yami Rena says: "I'll still kill you" Yami shouted, locking his elbow on the ground to prop himself up somewhat. "You've caused enough trouble and I won't let you get away with it. The best way to protect Ryou is to get rid of you". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi stood in front of Bakura, protecting him. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, what are you doing This is the guy that tried to kill you so many times" Yami yelled. Evil Yuugi says: "I know but he means no harm to me or you anymore." Yami Rena says: "No harm Are you insane Maybe not to you, but I highly doubt that there's a single soul in this tower that wants me alive much longer" Yami spat. Evil Yuugi says: "I said he means no harm i didnt say i didn't." Yuugi snickered. Yami Rena says: "I can see that, experience has told me that enough" Yami hissed, referring to his wrists more than anything. Evil Yuugi says: "Will you please drop the act already?" Yami Rena says: "What act I've always been a fighter, I'm hardly going to stop it just because you have the upper hand. Maybe I'm nervous, maybe I'm worried, but I'm not backing down. I'll breath my last breath before that". Evil Yuugi says: "Pharaoh there comes a time when you must admit when you've been defeated. Even MYSELF knows that." Bakura said. Yami Rena says: "Maybe I have lost, but I can't give up, Yuugi broke through once, maybe there's a chance he can again, that's why I'm fighting, for the hope that maybe he can fight back. What kind of Other Half would I be if I went against everything I had taught him and gave up" Evil Yuugi says: "Techinally your not because you separated." Bakura joked. Yami Rena says: "And I shouldn't have let it happen. This is the least I can do, trying to help Yuugi because I let him down there". Evil Yuugi says: "We willingly agreed." Yuugi countered. Yami Rena says: Yami growled, he felt that guilty that he knew it was true, even Yuugi knew it was like that, he had tried and failed. For him, it wasn't a question of how hard he did or close he came, he had ultimately failed, now was no different. Evil Yuugi says: Bakura watched, looking deep in thought. Yami Rena says: Yami glared at the both of them, he sighed, each second that passes, he was losing Yuugi more. Evil Yuugi says: Ryou appeared beside Bakura in spirit form but Bakura didnt seem to notice. Yami Rena says: Yami pulled more at the ropes, wincing more as the pain kicked back, he wished he could at least do something about his bound ankles, but fighting back against the topes there was pointless, he couldn't even twist his ankles just to fight back. Evil Yuugi says: Noa looked at Bakura curiously. Yami Rena says: "What is it" Anzu whispered to Noa. Noa looked at Bakura curiously.

You have just sent a nudge.

Yami Rena says: =o Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: you didnt respond lol Yami Rena says: (i guess it didn't go through) Yami Rena says: Yami Rena says: "What is it " Anzu whispered to Noa.

Yami Rena says: (you got it now ) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (yep) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Who is he?" Noa asked. Yami Rena says: "That's Bakura. Normally Ryou is a sweet guy, but that Ring around his neck is similar to the Puzzle and holds a spirit inside who takes over a lot, that's him in control now". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Is he bad usually?" Yami Rena says: "Yeah, normally Yuugi's fighting against him with Yami, he and Yami had been at each other's throats for a long tim enow, but this time Bakura's with us because of back when Yuugi bonded him with the Oracle". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I see." Yami Rena says: "What happened You lose your voices " Yami sneered at Bakura and Yuugi, focusing mainly on the tomb robber. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Bakura glared while Yuugi shared a kiss with Anzu. Yami Rena says: Yami narrowed his glare back to Bakura, Anzu smiled as she kissed back. Yami growled, glancing over his shoulder at the pair. "Damn it, I thought I told you two to cut that out" he snapped. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Your just jealous that Anzu's all mine." Yuugi sneered. Yami Rena says: "How am I jealous I don't care, I don't mind who you're with, in case you didn't notice, I was fine with it all in the beginning before she twisted you into this" Yami shouted. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi bit his lip as a tear ran down his cheek. (Have Anzu get angry cuz of that Yami Rena says: "You little-" Anzu hissed, rushing forward and slapping Yami across the face. Yami groaned for a second as she did, glaring back, his cheek glowing slightly from the hit. "And you go on about how you want to be a good Other Half " she spat. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Noa looked sympathetic for Yuugi as well. (She can call Yami a bitch as cursing is ok) Yami Rena says: (kay, I'll add that in when I get to this part) "You're the bitch, you've hardly done much to help him i the right way. You've only hurt him and made him this". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi turned away, the tears still coming. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, don't listen to her, the Oracle has taken the both of you. Don't cry at what I've said, it's what the Oracle's done that you should be upset about. Please Yuugi, don't fall for it". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Noa shot him a venomous look as he waited for Anzu to continue. Yami Rena says: "I swear, I should've just killed you after Yuugi left. I'll kill you now if I must. Just shut up, I hate you, Yuugi hates you and you know it" Anzu yelled, grabbing Yami's shirt, dragging him and twisting him back face-up as she held him close to her, glaring with her deepest hatred. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Jou and Kaiba watched with wide eyes. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, let's just finish him now" Anzu hissed, glaring still at Yami. "He's not worth the effort to keep alive any longer. He's useless, no-one wants nor needs him. Let's just put him out of his misery". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi nodded as Kaiba wiped away his tears. Yami Rena says: Yami turned to Yuugi, swallowing the lump in his throat that had quickly grown, looking at him with sorrow and regret in his eyes, he cursed himself for having pushed Yuugi so far. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "You start him off and ill finish him." Yuugi replied. Yami Rena says: "Gladly" Anzu chuckled. She turned back to Yami, looking at him with a demonic grin before forcing him back to the ground, pressing him against the floor. Yami cried out as he felt his wrists crunching as they hit the ground, more so when Anzu was pushing him down against them. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi watched with a truly malvolent grin. Yami Rena says: Yami groaned as he closed his eyes, Anzu moved her right hand from his torso, wrapping her fingers around his neck and pressing hard. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Nice.." Kaiba commented. Yami Rena says: Yami groaned as he felt her crushing his neck, he opened his eyes slightly, looking down at Yuugi, silently apologizing for his words, saying would have made no use, he knew that neither was going to go easy on him, he'd brought this on himself. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I wouldn't have thought of that move." Yuugi said. Yami Rena says: "Don't worry Yuugi, you'll have your chance to pull it, he won't last much longer if we keep pushing him" Anzu replied with a grin, tightening her fingers around Yami's neck, a weak groan was the result. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Then again i guess those dance lessons of yours were part of this somehow." He teased. Yami Rena says: "You could say that" Anzu giggled. Yami grit his teeth, feeling as her fingers grew ever tighter, feeling as the air began to reduce its flow into his body, he looked down at Yuugi, the dark circles under his eyes clearer than ever, straining just to do anything. "Yu-Yuugi" he whispered. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I wish i knew how though my little azure diablo." (diablo = devil in spanish ^^) Yami Rena says: "Oh Yuugi" Anzu giggled. "Yu-Yuug-gi" Yami choked. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes my queen?" He asked ignoring Yami. Yami Rena says: "You make me laugh, that's why you're my sweetie. My king of darkness, the true king" she replied. Yami groaned, noticing Yuugi was ignoring him, feeling his throat being crushed, the world outside his eyes growing dark slowly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Well your the one who brought us together my little queen of darkness." Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled again, looking back at Yuugi happily, almost forgetting what she was doing as she smiled at him. Yami felt his eyelids growing in weight, his eyes slowly closing, staring up at the ceiling above tiredly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "And once he's gone we can stay with the darkness forever and not have to worry." Yuugi said, his voice sickeningly sweet but malicious to those not twisted by the Oracle. Yami Rena says: Yami shivered as he heard the words, groaning weakly, without even moving his lips as the remained open slightly, his jaws apart again, his visionm darkening, going out of focus. "I think he's ready for you" Anzu replied with a smile. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Fine just tell me what to do and i'll do it." Yami Rena says: "Anything you want, it doesn't matter, cause him pain or finish him off instantly, its up to you darling". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Wait i know how to wipe him out instantly.." He said with a truly naughty grin as he held up the card he had used to defeat Kaiba the first time - Exodia The Forbidden One Yami Rena says: "What are you going to so " Yami Rena says:

• do

Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Use Exodia. He has infinite strength remember?" Yami Rena says: "Hardly worth wasting that power on someone so weak now. Where's that spike you used before Maybe that'll be useful, but if you think Exodia's better, we could go with that". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Trust me the spike's pain is limited, Exodia's is LIMITLESS.." (capitalized for emphasis) Yami Rena says: "Alright then, go with something that'll just destroy him with an overload of power as well". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi nodded. "Now...meet the instrument of your final annihilation...EXODIA THE FORBIDDEN ONE!!!" Yuugi cackled as the familiar 10-pointed circle appeared that Exodia came from when summoned. Yami Rena says: Yami watched the light where Yuugi prepared for Exodia, his eyes only slightly open, his chest heaving for air, he didn't say anything. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (Describe Exodia as he appears,try to be dramatic if ya can Yami Rena says: (Kay, I'll try my best) He watched as Exodia began to emerge from the ground, the room shaking as the once-chained god-like creature rose, rising up as the dominant being it was, looking almost demonic like Anzu too had as it remained still, its face darker than usual, his beadt eyes turning to Yuugi as the shaking subsided. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi grinned. "Exodia...OBELITERATE!!" (Describe the attack also if you can but it doesn't hafta be perfect Yami Rena says: Exodia brought its large hands close to each other, building up it ultimate attack, the large orb of energy glowing brightly. A moment passed where the room's air became thick from the waiting, Exodia brought back one arm before throwing it ahead, launching the attack at Yami who remained still, looking calm. The attack slammed into him, engulfing him, the force throwing him against the wall Yami Rena says: behind, he groaned, almost crying out if his throat had had it in it as he felt his spirit burn out, waiting for the attack to finish, just so the pain would leave, even if it meant he'd leave with it. It took a couple of moment for the attack to end. "Ai-aibou" he whispered once more, falling. The fall seemed to last forever, feeling like he was falling a great height when hie limp body hit the Yami Rena says: floor haevily. Yami Rena says:

• heavily

Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Damn i thought for sure he'd fade into particles of light or something after that." (lol the first is what happens if you lose a duel in the second alternate dimension in GX) Yami Rena says: Yami heard the distorted words from the outside, guessing it to be Yuugi's voice. "For-give me ai-bou" he whispered, letting the last word slip out with his dying breath. His body began to glow a golden colour faintly, dissolving from his legs upwards slowly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Noa's eyes widened as did everyone's but Yuugi's and Anzu's. Yami Rena says: Jou felt his heart soften as he watched the process of Yami's spirit leaving the world slowly happen, he could feel it was wrong, the real Jonouchi inside fighting it as it reached Yami's torso, taking over half of him already. "Any second now Yuugi" Anzu whispered. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi cackled softly as he nodded. Yami Rena says: Jou wiped the tears from his eyes that they hadn't noticed, the process slowly slipping up Yami's torso, up his neck, slowly riding up his head. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi watched, smiling wickedly as he felt the Oracle corrupt what ever ounce of humanity the evil boy had left. Yami Rena says: Jou grit his teeth, watching the final glimmers of Yami's hair before they floated in the air for a few seconds and following those that had come before them, vanished, dying out in the dark air. "And thus, Yami no Yuugi no longer exists" Anzu whispered. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi cackled evilly, his fingers slowly clenching into a victorious pose with his fist, his most heinous mission finally complete. Yami Rena says: Jou turned back to Yuugi, not a look of sadness nor enjoyment, more one of surprise. "See, I knew you could do it" Anzu giggled, hugging him tightly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi giggled back just as evilly as he smiled. "Yes, now we're truly unstoppable. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says:

• "

Yami Rena says: "So, without him in the way, what do we have to do now Our mission's completion must be just there, just before us". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Basically gather the world's people and just announce to them that we rule over them." (I think thats how dictator-like moves work) Yami Rena says: "Sounds good to me". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Then lets do this, and i have the quickest way..." Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Then lets do this, and i have the quickest way..." (repost if ya need it Yami Rena says: (Did I die ) "What's that then " Anzu asked curiously. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (for a few seconds Yami Rena says: (Oh, nah,I don't need it, still got it all) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (kk) "Well with Yami gone i absorb all his own magical abilities." Yami Rena says: "Good idea, they can't stand up to you and the magic he had combined". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yep all we have to do is channel the magic to transport everyone in the world here, then the world will be one step away from being all ours forever.." Yami Rena says: "Good plan". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes, quite ingenious isn't it?" Yami Rena says: "Yes it is, you're a mastermind at plans" Anzu giggled. "You never run out". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi blushed. "Thats why soon ill be king of this world.. think about it..everyone would have to do our bidding.." Yami Rena says: "Exactly, just like we planned from the beginning, it'll be a reality instead of a dream". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yes.." Yami Rena says: "It's perfect". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Oh yes. I can just picture you in royal queen attire.." Yami Rena says: "And I can just picture you in your king attire. Wow, I'm going to have a picture taken" Anzu teased, giggling. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi blushed deeply. "Seriously?" Yami Rena says: "Seriously" Anzu teased, before kissing him on the cheek. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi kissed her back. He had never felt happier.. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled, pulling him close, hugging him tightly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Hey what about us?" Mokuba and Noa teased her. Yami Rena says: "Don't worry, you'll still be with us, you did a great job earlier". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "We know what we're asking is where would we be on the whole royal order thing once you 2 officially declare world domination?" Yami Rena says: "Of course you will". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Where though? As princes, what Anzu-chan?" The boys asked excitedly. Yami Rena says: "I guess that could work, what do you say Yuugi " Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: He nodded with a grin. Yami Rena says: "There you two go". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: They cheered happily as they hugged Yuugi tightly. Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled as she watched the pair hugging Yuugi, turning back to the others. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Varon smiled giving Yuugi a wink. "Nice work, mate." Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled back at Yuugi. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Jou you've been quiet is there something wrong best friend?" Yuugi asked. Yami Rena says: "Nothing's wrong" Jou replied hollowly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yeah there is mate." (Have Jous anger at Anzu and Yuugi just boil over right about now) Yami Rena says: (kay) "Shut up Varon" Jou hissed before turning back to Yuugi. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What did i say, mate?" Yami Rena says: "Just shut up. I'm sick and tired of you" Jou snapped, still staring at Yuugi as he spoke. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Me or him?" Yuugi asked. Yami Rena says: "Both, can't you see what you've done " Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yeah im one step away from world domination." Yuugi replied, grinning evilly. Yami Rena says: "You just killed Yami. When you wake up from this dream and you realized what you've done, he won't come back when you cry, he won't be able to"> Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Frankly i dont really care." Yami Rena says: "You don't care now, but let's see what you think when the Oracle is gone". "Calm down Jou, you were tormenting him too, you're just as guilty" Anzu called. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I thought you didnt feel remorse, Anzu." Yuugi said. Yami Rena says: "I don't feel it, we're all responsible for Yami's death, I'm just pointing out that Jou is just as guilty for playing a part". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Bakura looked confused. "But I didn't do a thing." Yami Rena says: "You didn't help him. You saw how he was bleeding, even without the push, he was slowly dying and all you did was torment him with his own damn name". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I didnt torment him." Yami Rena says: "You were teasing him, going on about how you knew about the past and blamed his father and used his name like it was filth, that's just as bad. I can't believe I could only see it as he fell". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "See what?" Yami Rena says: "See what we were doing, what we've done" Jou sighed. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "But you joined us.." Yuugi protested, a little hurt. Yami Rena says: "I know, I was blinded by anger when we lost you. Now I see how stupid we were, look at us, we've just gone and killed someone that had been our partner, even on this side". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What are you saying?" Yami Rena says: "I'm saying we're murderers, just like you didn't want to be. But Yami was on our side once and look what we did to him. Are we going to kill each other now " Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "No because we're allies. Yami wasn't. Right Noa, Mokie, Anzu?" Yami Rena says: "He's right" Anzu replied. "Yami was an ally!" Jou called. "He was with us once, he was with us before this. He kept saying he was trying to help us, he might have really been trying to help us". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "No way." The Kaiba trio replied. Yami Rena says: "What do you mean 'no way' We could have given him a chance". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "We did." Yami Rena says: "No we didn't. The instant he beat Rebecca, we tied him up, gagged him, threw him in a cage, ignored him, overpowered him and even killed him. I can't see the chance we gave him in that". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Well he turned me against Anzu remember?" Yami Rena says: "He set you free" Jou yelled at Yuugi. "That was the real Yuugi, the one before all this happened. Look deep in your heart, I'm sure that real Yuugi is crying hard". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi threw his head back and laughed. The idea of that was absurd to the once sweet boy from Domino High. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, wake up" Jou called moving forward and laying his hands on Yuugi's shoulders. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi stared at him. Yami Rena says: Jou began to shake Yuugi, staring at him determinedly. "Come on, you dont' want to take over the world, that's the Oracle speaking. You didn't want to kill Yami, that was the Oracle. Come on Yuuge, wake up, the real Yuuge". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says:

• I'm gonna hate myself for this* Yuugi thought as he slapped Jou on the cheek.

Yami Rena says: "Yuugi!" Jou shouted, slapping back. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Ouch! You little.." Yami Rena says: "Jou" Anzu yelled, rushing forward. Jou swung his arm back, grabbing Anzu's wrist, she growled as she tried to pull it back to no avail. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (hold on im confused Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (what exactly just happened Yami Rena says: (o.o He's holding Yuugi's shoulder with one hand and Anzu's wrist with the other) Yami Rena says: She tried attacking him cause he hit Yuugi Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi delivered a sharp uppercut to Jou's left cheek. (Ah thanks) Yami Rena says: Jou growled, pushing Anuz back and punching Yuugi across the face. "Damn it, wake up Yuuge". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Yuugi groaned falling backwards into Kaiba's arms, blood streaming from where he'd been struck. Yami Rena says: Jou growled, he hated doing it, he just wanted to see Yuugi back to his real self. He lunged forward, trying again for another blow. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Before he could Anzu grabbed the back of his shirt and flung him backwards, before rushing to Yuugi's side. Yami Rena says: Jou groaned as he crashed into the ground, growling as he looked up at Anzu tending to Yuugi. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Yuugi-kun are you ok?" She asked in a sweet, motherly tone. Yami Rena says: "I'm fine Anzu. Really I'll be alright" Yuugi replied. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Well ok.." Yami Rena says: "So what're you two going to do now Have Kaiba attack me and lock me up too " Jou growled. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Be reasonable, mutt." Kaiba replied. Yami Rena says: "Shut it bitch, just go crawl back to Mokuba and Yuugi"> Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What did you call me Katsuya Jonouchi?!" Kaiba roared. Yami Rena says: "I called you a bitch, get over yourself". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Kaiba growled softly. Yami Rena says: "What's the matter Going to grab me like you did Yami Just heel Kaiba". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Anzu...use your power on him.." Yuugi dropped his voice to a whisper.. "Re-bond him..and hurry.." Yami Rena says: "I'll do what I can, right now he's unpredictable, he's more alive than Yami was so it'll be harder while he's like this" Anzu whispered, the Oracle glowing on her head. "Oh no you don't" Jou yelled. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Anzu..I love you.." Yuugi whispered before he lost consciousness. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi!" Anzu gasped, turning to Yuugi before finishing with Jou, catching him as he fell. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (when u said finished you meant knocked out right Yami Rena says: (I meant the spell =o Why, is Jou supposed to get knocked out Kaiba could do it =o) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (no your wording just confused me Yami Rena says: (Oops, sorry, I'm a little off tonight =x) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: (its ok.) Jou groaned softly. Yami Rena says: "Kaiba, take care of Yuugi for a minute" Anzu instructed, Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Of course." Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled, handing Yuugi to Kaiba before turning back to Jou, the Oracle shining brightly on her head, Jou groaned more as the magic began to control him once again, slowly dominating his fight. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: Jou moaned. "N-No...." Yami Rena says: "You can't fight me Katsuya". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "A...Anzu...Whats.....happened to you....wheres the old sweet Anzu?" Yami Rena says: "She's where the old Yuugi is. And as far as you're concerned they might as well be with that pathetic Pharaoh". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "You mean...destroyed forever?" Yami Rena says: "What do you think " Anzu laughed coldly. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "No...An...Anzu...please...dont..." Jou begged. Yami Rena says: "What are you going to do to stop me The Pharaoh couldn't stop Yuugi, what makes you think you can stop me " Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "I k...know...the real....Anzu...is screaming deep...down to get out." Yami Rena says: "Sure she is" Anzu laughed. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Anzu...fight....the....evil...within....please your...my...last....chance here....don't do this...." Yami Rena says: "I'm your last chance " Anzu cackled. "A minute ago you wanted to knock me out. Give me a reason that I'll care about to stop". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "What your doing...will...destroy...the world." Yami Rena says: "Sure it will, Yami tried the same thing. Try again Katsuya" Anzu teased. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Stop calling me that, Mazaki!" Yami Rena says: "Awwwww, what's the matter Don't like it " Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "You sick twisted little bitch.." Yami Rena says: "Awwww, and you wanted me to stop Fat chance now Jououchi" Anzu called, the Seal glowing brighter. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Your just a little brat Mazaki or should i say Motou?" He said mocking her married name. (Angry Anzu please ^-^) Yami Rena says: "Oh really I'm not the one who's lost their mind you pathetic excuse for a human. Now shut your mouth while I finish the Oracle's takeover again you little sod. Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Anzu..if you have an ounce of good left in you please STOP!!!!" Jou screamed at the top of his lungs. Yami Rena says: "Just try is Jonouchi. You haven't got any power to stop me, you can't even find something that would make me stop. You're powerless you idiot". Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Remember when we kissed in that dare when we were little?" He teased. (my own idea) Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro says: "Remember when we kissed in that dare when we were little?" He teased. (my own idea) (repost cuz u died for like 2 seconds Anzu's head lifted slightly, her glare softening into one of rememberance. "I...you turned on Yuugi not long after that and no matter what I said, you didn't listen until after he solved the Puzzle and helped you and Honda out". Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah...I know.." Yami Rena says: "Exactly, so if I spare you now, you'll just turn in a while". Evil Yuugi says: "Your probably right.." Jou gave a resigned sigh. She had him right in her hands. Yami Rena says: "At least you can admit it" Anzu sighed. "But it just shows I can't trust you without the Oracle's hold over you". Evil Yuugi says: "Your letting him get to you!" The most evil part of her hissed to her in telepathy. Yami Rena says: 'I know that, I'm fighting him back, just watch' she replied, lifting her eyes to him again. Evil Yuugi says: "But Anzu.." Then out of nowhere It's All Over by Three Days Grace began to play from Jou's iPod. (I wanted to toss that in again ^^ Yami Rena says: (sure) "But what" Anzu snapped. Evil Yuugi says: "It's not right." He said accidentally turning the volume up on his iPod with his elbow by accident so now she could hear the song. Yami Rena says: "What are you suggesting Of course it's right, it's what we have to do". Evil Yuugi says: "Oh for the love of Ra how the hell did It's All Over start playing?!" Jou grumbled. Yami Rena says: "What are you on about" Anzu growled. (Wanna see funny Jou video >3) Evil Yuugi says: (sure) "My damn iPod. Damn thing plays on its own!" Yami Rena says: (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kkaWK54BItU) "And what do I care" Anzu sighed. Evil Yuugi says: "Oh right you...ahh don't.." Yami Rena says: "Calm down Jonouchi, it won't hurt if you don't resist". Evil Yuugi says: "Don't resist.." Jou repeated, mesmerized. Yami Rena says: "Good boy" Anzu giggled. Evil Yuugi says: 'Sorry Yami…I tried…' Jou thought as he was taken over. Anzu laughed as Jonouchi's resistance ended, cackling in amusement that she had gained back their close friend. Yuugi opened his eyes, hearing Anzu cackle. He wondered what happened. "Yuugi, what a perfect time for you to come back. Jou just came back to us, he put up quite a fight". "He...did..?" Yuugi groaned. His head was throbbing. "Yeah, he was resisting a lot, then a moment ago, he seemed to weaken in the fight so I gained dominance and he's back". "Good...ah...damn it.." Yuugi muttered. "Are you alright?" Anzu gasped, moving to his side. "Yeah...just...ah...a headache." "Okay, if you're sure". "Yeah.." He said as blood trickled down his face. "Yuugi!" Anzu gasped, leaning closer to inspect the blood's source. "I'm fine” "Not according to that" Anzu replied, pointing to the blood. "To what?" He stood up and stumbled over to Mai's bed, walking like a drunk person who had one too many bottles of vodka. "Yuugi!" Anzu called, rushing to him, holding him up from falling, wiping a drop away to show him. "Where did that come from.." Yuugi asked spinning around before colliding with Mai. "Yuugi, calm down" Anzu called, bringing him back. "You're all over the place, are you sure you're alright?" "Maybe Jou...gave me vodka or something.." He replied, dazed. "Jou didn't go near you" Anzu replied, concerned. "He might've…the last thing I remember was seeing a strange duel monster.. then i lost consciousness.." "I don't understand, that doesn't sound normal. Are you sure you're alright, I'm worried about you?” "Probably just a....dream..." "Don't worry about it, maybe you should have a rest" Anzu whispered, stroking his hair. "Yes.." Anzu pulled Yuugi to her as she helped him onto the bed, looking over him worriedly, something had gone wrong following Jou's breaking free of the Oracle and however it was, it was affecting Yuugi badly. Soon Yuugi drifted off to sleep and Jou walked over. "Anzu?" He asked. "What is it Jou?" Anzu sighed, turning to him. "Is Yuuge ok?" "I don't know, something happened shortly following Yami dying, I'm worried it might be having some kind of effect on him too. I didn't think it would, but I'm worried". "Don't be.." A childish voice said. "What was that?" Anzu gasped. "It sounded like a.." Then Jou screamed. "Jou!" Anzu called, surprised by his sudden screaming. "Look b-b-behind you.." Anzu turned, gasping herself when she noticed a purple-ish being behind her, wild grey hair that reminded her of Marik's darker side, "Hello Anzu.." The creature said. "Wh-who are you?" The creature giggled softly. "I am Yubel." "And who is that?" Anzu asked, the fear evident in her face. "What do you mean?" "I can see you're Yubel, but I have no idea who are you beyond that". "That is all I am." She said before noticing the sleeping Yuugi. "You leave Yuugi alone" Anzu snapped. "Oh but he has so much evil…and besides I’m here to help." "And how would you help what's almost complete?" Anzu hissed. "By making sure it stays that way.." Yubel's eyes glowed, to put Anzu under a sleep sort of hypnosis. Anzu groaned as she quickly fell under the magic, Jou gasped as he watched. Yubel giggled as her spirit entered the sleeping boy's body and her new hosts body. "What, no, what're you doing?" Jou called as he watched the creature fade into Yuugi's body. Yubel laughed as her spirit fully merged. "Yuugi!" Jou called, hating himself for being able to only watch helplessly. Yubel snapped her fingers, thus breaking the control she no longer needed. Anzu groaned as she felt herself released, the creature gone, she turned to Jou. "You don't wanna know" Jou sighed. Mai yawned and stretched, feeling refreshed. Anzu turned to Mai, confused about where the creature had gone and what it must have done in her time out. About 20 minutes later, Yuugi awoke. "Yuugi, are you alright " Anzu called, hugging him close, Jou watching nervously. "Yes I'm fine.." He said his voice a split between his and Yubel's. "Yu-Yuugi" Anzu gasped. "Tell me that thing didn't go inside you". "What are you talking about?" "That Yubel thing, I can hear its voice in yours" Anzu replied. "Who are you talking about?" "You weren't awake at the time. But there was this...thing. It came out of nowhere and I think...went inside of you". "No way, what did it look like?" "Like a purple-ish, pink-ish creature, a human shape. It had these yellow eyes and like red pupils. Its hair was like Yami Marik's or something". "Odd…this is gonna sound weird but remember that creature I mentioned before I went out cold?" "Don't tell me. They're the same" "Just about." "Oh no, Yuugi, I'm sorry, I should have helped you". "I'm fine…I can feel the creature enhancing my darkness.." "Wait, so you want it with you? It's helping?" "Yes.." Yuugi replied his tone growing more wicked. Anzu turned back to Jou, both uneasy about the situation with what they had seen. "But, why didn't it come when Yami set you free?" "Because it needed Yami destroyed.." "What?" Jou called. "You mean that it made you destroy Yami?" "No, I did that myself." "So, you destroyed Yami because it needed you to so it could be released?" "No. It needed Yami destroyed so it could inhabit me. You see a body can only hold one Yami at a time if you know what i mean." "So, it needed you to destroy Yami so it could replace him?" Jou asked, his face showing the horror he felt inside. "Yes because unlike Yami…" His voice changed to match Yubel's. "It wants to help rule." "But it sounds like its taking over you, your voice is changing, Yami didn't do that. It just feels weird" Jou sighed. "Relax will ya?" "Fine, but I'm not happy about it". "You sure you're alright? Its not affecting you in anyway? Like with the voice?" "I'm positive now chill" "Alright then" Anzu answered, lightly hugging him, not ready to hug tighter in case he was still tired. Yuugi hugged back tightly loving the attention.

Anzu smiled as she felt Yuugi hug back. She felt slightly easier about how Yuugi was behaving normally. Jou turned away, looking around at the others, still thinking about how much Yubel could have influenced the events before its arrival.

"I love you Anzu.." "I love you too Yuugi". Bakura looked at the small duellist perplexed wondering who this Yubel really was. Jou glanced at Bakura, he felt so confused, unsure about what was really going on and Yubel's intentions. "Promise me something Anzu." "What's that?" "That you'll always protect me and help me rule.." "Right, I promise, I'll help you and protect you". Yuugi smiled happily. "Good." "It's the least I can do". "You ok Jou?" Yuugi asked. "I'm fine" Jou replied, turning back to Yuugi. "You sure?" "Yeah, I'm sure. Nothing's wrong". "Ok good." "Yeah, so I guess we should start working on getting people about" Jou sighed, looking towards the doorway, his thoughts on Yuugi's shadow magic. "Yep." "Alright then. Should we head outside then?" "Yes." Jou nodded, Anzu moved out of Yuugi's way, holding her hand out for him. Jou made his way to the door, looking back as he watched Anzu. Anzu followed, holding Yuugi's hand. Anzu smiled as they passed the Kaiba brothers and Bakura, holding Yuugi's hand tightly. Noa smiled softly at Mokuba. Mokuba smiled back at Noa, standing close to him, Kaiba turned away. "I love you Mokuba.." "I love you too Noa* Kaiba looked at them before the less dark Yuugi hugged him. Kaiba turned to Yuugi, hugging him back. "I love you Seto.." The other Yuugi whispered. "I love you too Yuugi. Come, let's follow them" Kaiba replied with a smile. He nodded, Kaiba's hand wrapping over his smaller one. Kaiba smiled as he made his way towards the door, following where the darker Yuugi, Anzu and Jou had all left. Yuugi smiled back. Jou glanced back at the others; Mai, Valon, Bakura and the other Kaiba brother still had to leave the room, he watched them exit as Anzu and Yuugi caught up with him. They soon followed but Bakura stood in the doorway just to watch. Jou narrowed his eyes uneasily at Bakura before turning away, he didn't like the way Bakura had stayed in the doorway, but exposing his doubts would just lead to Yuugi or Anzu suspecting his turning again, he had no way to fight back the Oracle, he was their follower, whether he liked it or not. "Ready?" The darker Yuugi asked Anzu. "Yeah, let's complete our mission". Yuugi grinned as the Oracle Stone glowed along with the evil Puzzle. Anzu smiled before activating her own Oracle Stone Yuugi's body glowed as Yubel enhanced Yuugi's magic as the dark cloud began to grow in size. Jou watched Yuugi as the two concentrated, focusing more on the smaller due to the creature inside. "It's working.." "Good, keep it up Yuugi" Anzu replied, smiling. He nodded as it grew larger and began to spread further. Jou stepped back as he watched the dark aura grow larger. Bakura watched, visibly impressed. Kaiba glared at Bakura as he noticed the tomb robber watching with a grin. Soon it seemed the entire city of Domino was engulfed in the dark magic. Jou looked around as the area darkened, he glared at it around. He turned back to Yuugi and Anzu, sighing. Yuugi grinned wickedly as he could sense the areas around getting darker. In towns and cities alike around the planet, the sky began to darken, the shadows taking over the area, the unsuspecting humans puzzled just seconds before the darkness infected their own hearts and bringing them to the Oracle's side, engulfing old and young, males and females, all falling into the Oracle's influence and becoming pawns in Yuugi and Anzu's plans. Yuugi cackled wickedly, feeling the Oracle's power grow to seemingly limitless strength. Anzu smiled as she glanced at Anzu as he cackled, Jou clenched his fists as he watched nervously. Yuugi's eyes seemed to change to that of Yubel's as he used her power to transfer those nearby and on the far corners of the planet to the now invincible empire's location. Jou's eyes widened at the sight of Yuugi's change, groaning as he was overcome by the power. Across the world, it was the same, many influenced by the darkness felt their own unlocked and consume them. "Just think Anzu, in a matter of seconds, our greatest dream will be a perfect reality.." Yuugi said the twisted joy evident in his voice. "Yes, and it'll be all thanks to you leading us". The magic grew to it's peak as the darkness around the world excluding the rest of Domino seemed to become a portal of transport which would transport the millions of people under their control now to them. The ground below the people around the world became soft, some panicked, some remained calm, some tried fighting to stay up as they were sucked beneath the ground. The darkness clouding their view for moments, drowning in the shadows that had dragged them to the portals leading to Domino. Emerging again shortly afterwards, seeing the city around them, a foreign city and many would had never heard of, the shadows holding the city even more than their original homes and origins. They looked about the buildings, many catching the view of the tower that dominated the other braking buildings. Jou looked out of the window closest to him to see the legions of people that had emerged outside in the city. "Excellent…only one step left.." Jou turned back to Yuugi as he heard the words He turned to Anzu. "Get ready, Anzu for soon you'll be queen of the entire world.." He whispered with a soft wicked laugh as he kissed her deeply on the lips. "And you'll be the king and lead us all into a new age" Anzu replied happily before kissing back. "That's right so i see no need to drag the suspense out any longer. Let's go to that mass group and begin our reign over the world." "Right and together, you and I shall surpass any other being in this world. Past, present or future, you and I will make it happen, our dream of reality, of ruling this lost world. Finally, the dream comes real". "Yes." His magic activated creating a sort of podium in front of the large group. The people turned to the platform as it rose, seeing as Yuugi and Anzu stepped upon it. "People of the world, the darkness has been unlocked, the battle between light and dark is over. We have won and nothing can change that. The Oracle has led you all here, the darkness unlocked, the war over, the side won. For us this is a new start and the one who unlocked the true power of the Oracle was none other than the guy you see beside me, he will lead us into a new age, one in which the world will be together in harmony, no more battles, no more wars. The container of light is dead, we are free, its time that Mutou Yuugi led us into our new time of the world. He is our king, he is our leader, the one that banished the last glimmers of light from this world and held the darkness together, bringing it and us to this point. The world is free and Mutou Yuugi has not only led us to be that, but will continue to guide us" Anzu announced. Anzu turned to Yuugi with a smile, indicating to the masses before them that he had been the one she had spoken of, he was her husband and their leader, holding her hand out to his for him to take". Yuugi smiled taking her hand in his. "Now, this new world's king has accepted the choice of destiny" Anzu announced, looking back at the mass. "He has taken the throne of darkness, eliminating the previous King of Darkness, taken the Shadow Games and the Oracle to new heights to become more powerful than any other being in existence. Over the life of the previous, I welcome the new leader of this world's shadow, our leader, our king, our saviour even, Mutou Yuugi has presented himself to us as our leader and now will show you our new existence". "Yes, for now the balance of light and darkness is no more. Only darkness remains!" Yuugi announced as the brainwashed masses applauded him and Anzu further. "Well put my hero" Anzu replied, kissing him on the cheek. "The struggle is over, our mission is at completion, our destiny before us". "Yes. Now begin our conquest by announcing ourselves as their ruler." Yuugi told her softly. "See here, your king Mutou Yuugi and I, Mutou Anzu, stand before you your queen after Yuugi and I recently joined in the darkness, the marriage to bind us together forever" she called to the crowd. "Yes for with our destiny complete we shall rule over you for all eternity!" Yuugi said laughing. "You understand Yuugi and I shall lead you all, you're all our followers, to serve us and listen to what we say this world needs to survive. The darkness has led us to salvation". "Yes from this point on you no longer have a choice in your pathetic lives isn't that right my queen?" "Yes it is". "Though the light no longer exists and the world is perfect you are still eternal servants to us.." "I don't understand" a man in his early twenties called. "You're a kid and we follow you And what about the light, its supposed to represent goodness". "He's right, I'm afraid I don't follow too. This container of light you mentioned is dead to let the darkness overpower everything, but there needs to be a balance between light and darkness. Isn't that right anymore?" another called. "I'd advise you to not oppose me.." Yuugi warned. "But we don't get it" a woman of the same age close by added. "You have to tell us what makes the darkness so special, after all, the light needs to exist too, or else we're lost and wondering in a bleak land". "I warned you once but you ignored me. Now prepare to feel the eternal torment of the Yami No Darkness!" Yuugi cackled activating the dark rod to send the 3 who opposed him to the aforementioned dark realm. The others around gasped as they watched the three banished to the dark realm that Yuugi had called to them, many in fear that already weren't, turning back to Yuugi, staring in fear at him, his dark Puzzle or his dark Rod. Yuugi smiled wickedly. "Care to oppose me again?" He asked the group. Many shook their heads, their mouth hanging open, Anzu grinned darkly as she watched amused and proud. Yuugi laughed evilly. "I thought you'd see things my way." "Yes, very obedient lot now, aren't they?" "Yes they are Anzu. But I have an idea to further enhance our headquarters. Since your now the queen of the entire world, you should have a castle that matches your amount of power wouldn't you say?" "Sure, great idea* "Then demand that of our servants. Noa-kun, Mokie-kun you two are extremely quiet. Why?" He inquired. Anzu nodded as she heard Yuugi's command. "Alright, this tower behind us needs a partner. We need a group of you, a big part to help in the construction of a castle". The group nodded, not that they had a choice less they be banished to the Yami No Darkness by Yuugi. Anzu laughed as she watch the crowd disperse before turning to Yuugi, hugging him close and kissing him deeply on his lips Yuugi giggled returning the hug and kiss. "The world is finally ours.." "Yes it is. Our mission is done and now nothing can stop us". "Correct." He looked at Noa and Mokuba who were still deathly quiet. "What's with them and the others?" "I'm not sure. Do you think their afraid?" "Perhaps, I don't know". "Maybe you should talk to them." Anzu nodded before turning to the pair and moving towards them. "What's up with you two I thought you'd be happier". "We are, its just we're a little nervous with the responsibility of the whole world on all our shoulders ya know?" Mokie asked. "Don't worry you two, everything will be much easier with them all living in fear". "Yeah, I guess your right." "See" Anzu replied, nodding and smiling. Mokuba kissed her cheek, knowing Yuugi or Noa wouldn't mind. Anzu giggled as Mokuba did, she turned back to Yuugi, smiling, she knew no-one would have minded. Noa giggled and ruffled his lover's hair. "How cute, Mokie." "He is, isn't he?" Anzu giggled. Mokuba blushed. "Awww thanks.." He replied shyly. Anzu giggled as a reply to Mokuba's blush. "Your bad Anzu-chan." Mokuba teased the azure-eyed brunette. "Oh I am" Anzu chuckled, glancing back at Yuugi. "Something tells me I'm not the only one". "Really?" He asked, acting innocent. "Really" Anzu laughed. Mokuba looked up at her with an almost angelic stare. Anzu laughed as a response, she looked at Noa. "What did you laugh for?" Mokuba asked. "Your look, it just amused me". "How?" "Just the way you looked after what we were talking about. Come on, let's go see what Yuugi has planned for us to do". "How do you know he has anything planned?" Leon joked. "He usually does, after all, you were too concerned about Yami to actually have us bond you to the Oracle". "Don't remind me.." Leon moaned bitterly. "What's the matter? Feeling guilty about not joining? Or is this to do with Yami because you weren't properly bonded?" Anzu teased darkly. "Both." Leon groaned. "Awwww, little Leon wants to join and at the same time feels guilty about not helping his wittle Pharaoh friend, you didn't help him when he was in that cage, you didn't help him when he was lying immobile. You couldn't even be a voice for him and just watched as he was blasted out of this world" Anzu cackled. Mokuba laughed softly as well. "See, they know it, Yuugi knows it, even Yami knew it, that's why he turned to Yuugi and tried to break him loose" Anzu laughed. "Quit laughing at me!" "We can only stop if you admit the truth and join". "What truth?" "That you couldn't save Yami and you know the Oracle is where you belong, because of your close range, Yuugi's spell hasn't bonded you yet. We just have to get you to join and you can join us in the new world". "New world??" He asked as the area looked the same to him. "Can't you see it? The darkness that clouds the city, that rules this world as Yuugi desires". "Ok, you've officially gone insane." "I'VE gone insane? You're the one that was worried about Yami, you're the one that's not joining the Oracle yet. You're the one who's insane, no-one else". "You've turned the world into a freaking wasteland of shadows!!" "And what's the matter with that? That's what both Yuugi and the Oracle desire, that's what we've been led to create. Don't go all Yami on us and make us use force against you too". "What can you do?" "Didn't you see what we did to Yami? There was a lot more happen to him before the way you found him like that, we'll use it all against you. You want to share his fate We can make that happen". Leon's eyes widened in terror. Deep down he wished Siegfried was there to protect him. "Oh come on Leon. You have a choice, be our ally or fall like Yami. Either way, we win, do you want to win too? Or do you want to perish with him Siegfried's on our side, why can't you see things like him?" "No!! Big bro would never do that!" "When we say everyone, we mean everyone" Anzu chuckled before turning back to Yuugi. "Yuugi!" "Yes Anzu-chan?" Yuugi asked in sing-song. "Do you know where Siegfried is? Leon's not believing in our goal, he doesn't believe Siegfried's with us. If anything, like Yubel replaced Yami inside you, he's taking Yami's fight further". "Yeah he's fixing KaibaCorp's security so the tower can't be snuck up on. "See, he's helping us" Anzu chuckled, turning back to Leon. Leon's eyes filled with tears. "Can't you accept it now?" Anzu asked. "Don't go and get yourself destroyed like Yami did, open your eyes, see the world before you and help us". "Maybe she's right.." "See, it's not that hard". "I have an idea." Mokuba said. "What's that Mokuba?" "Perhaps you can hypnotize him." "Good idea, it'll help him more" Mokuba grinned in a naughty manner. "Nice job Mokuba" Anzu giggled, ruffling his hair. She turned to Leon grinning. Mokuba blushed. "I do what I can my queen." "Come on Leon, are you going to listen?" Anzu asked in her hypnotic voice. "Don't fall with Yami, don't let him drag you down, you belong with us. Listen to reason, join us, rise with the rest of us, you know you can do it, we know you can do it, don't listen to him, listen to the Oracle". "If I join I can help you rule.." "Yes, good boy". "I shall join you.." "Good" Anzu giggled as she moved her fingers up to Leon's forehead, pressing them against it. Leon moaned softly. Anzu watched as the Oracle stone began to glow, allowing the power to rush into Leon. Leon moaned again as the Oracle appeared on his forehead. Anzu grinned as the Oracle appeared, glancing back at Yuugi as she took her hand away. "It worked!" "Yes, now everyone in the world is under the Oracle's control, everyone is following us. The world is ours and our destiny is complete. Now we just need to lead it on". "Yes." "Yes, it's all good now, no-one can stop us". "Yes no one!" Yuugi cackled. Anzu smiled as she held Yuugi tightly to her, squeezing him in the embrace, feeling the happiest she had been in so long. Yuugi giggled softly loving the embrace. Anzu giggled as she heard Yuugi's own little giggle, it only made her hug tighter. "You’re so beautiful.."

• And you're so perfect. You're the best husband a girl could want".

"Awww no one's perfect. Not even me.." "Stop being modest" Anzu giggled before kissing him on the cheek. "It's true." "No its not, look at all you've done" Anzu replied, signalling the stretch of Domino before them. "Yeah so?" "No-one else could have done it" "True." "So you really are better than anyone else. You're my perfect king of darkness, sweetie". Yuugi grinned. "Oh yes." "So you admit it. Good Yuugi, that's why I like you so much. You don't resist the truth like the others". "It's love in my case." He said arrogantly. "Yes, I love you too, love you more than anything in this entire world. Nothing could mean more to me than you, my love". "Yes I know my sweet." "Yes, nothing" Anzu repeated, squeezing Yuugi tighter in her arms. "Ah.. loosen up a little Anzu-chan." "Oh" Anzu answered, loosening her arms around Yuugi. "Thanks." He said with a smirk. "I'm sorry" Anzu sighed, releasing him altogether. "Anzu what’s wrong?" "Nothing, I just didn't want to hurt you, that's all". Yuugi smiled, kissing her forehead. Anzu blushed as Yuugi did so, smiling back. "We'll be together for eternity.." "Yeah. Nothing will separate us". "Yes and because of the Oracle, we're granted immortality." Yami Rena says: "Yes and that's wonderful. Together forever, nothing to ever stop us, nothing to end us". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes I know." Yami Rena says: "The best thing ever. My Yuugi, my ruler of the world, my sweetie leading the new world without anyone to stop him, to stop us, to be able to get rid of us". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi grinned wickedly, loving all the attention. Yami Rena says: "So, what do we do while they build that castle? What do we do next that the mission is complete?" Evil Yuugi says: "I guess we can finally relax." Yami Rena says: "That's good, after all, we can't have you wear yourself out" Anzu replied with a smile. "No-one can, if they saw you tired, they could try and resist like those three did". Evil Yuugi says: "Heh insolent fools." Yami Rena says: "Yeah" Anzu chuckled. "They won't fight back with your power". Evil Yuugi says: "I know thats what makes this so satisfying." Yami Rena says: "Exactly, without a way to fight back, you and I can never lose control. Its the perfect plan and one I expected from you Yuugi". Evil Yuugi says: "Heh and why is that?" Yami Rena says: "You've had control of the situation the entire time, except for a few unexpected moments and even then all but a couple you've gotten control again. No-one can stand up to our power and that way, no-one can stop us or even dream of it. Anyone that could have challenged us are incapable of standing against us, most haven't had a chance since bonding with the Oracle". Evil Yuugi says: "True but there are those that will be born in the future.." Yami Rena says: "They won't possess any power to stop us, they'll just be weaklings that will follow everyone else". Evil Yuugi says: "How do you know?" Yami Rena says: "Come on, if everyone's following the Oracle, then their offspring will also follow it, you'll see. This is a new world, no-one out there is a free soul anymore". Evil Yuugi says: "I guess you got a point." Yami Rena says: "See, there's nothing to worry about, so stop worrying". Evil Yuugi says: "I'm not worried." Yami Rena says: "Good, I'm going to get a good view from inside, you coming?" Evil Yuugi says: "Of course." Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled and took Yuugi's hand before turning back to the tower and making her way towards it. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi smiled back. Yami Rena says: "I bet you're loving seeing this all happen like we planned, right? It's all fun to see them squirm" Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah it's so perfect." Yami Rena says: "Yes and nothing can spoil it, it'll always be perfect, nothing can ruin it. This world is ours, now let's go see it begin". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes.." He replied with a wicked laugh. Yami Rena says: Anzu laughed with him, taking him through the doors of the tower and looking around at which staircase to take. Evil Yuugi says: "It doesn't matter which one." Yami Rena says: Anzu led him up the staircase she was familiar with, the one they had used following his loss to Rebecca, smiling as she was glad that this time, he wasn't being carried. Evil Yuugi says: He quickly kissed her cheek. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled before kissing him back, finally they could be alone without a threat of something going wrong or an interruption, they could finally watch over their new world. Evil Yuugi says: "The fight Yami fought is no more, as is any kind of purity." Yami Rena says: "Yes, nothing he did could work, everything he did failed, he never stood a chance, I felt sorry for the poor fool, if only he had known, we wouldn't have had to push him so far, but he remained blind to the truth". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes. Oh well it's his own fault." Yuugi cackled. Yami Rena says: "Yeah he shouldn't hav resisted" Anzu laughed. Evil Yuugi says: "Your so devious.." Yami Rena says: "Hardly devious, after all, it was his choice, nothing to do with me". Evil Yuugi says: "Not about that." Yami Rena says: "About what then?" Evil Yuugi says: "Everything since the Oracle's return." Yami Rena says: Anzu chuckled, nodding her head, she couldn't have done it without him, they had helped each other so much. Evil Yuugi says: The roar of a motorcycle engine seemed to interrupt them. Yami Rena says: Anzu turned back, looking back down the staircase as she heard the engines from the outside. "What could that be now?" she asked. Evil Yuugi says: "Most likely Raphael." Yami Rena says: "I suppose, when did he leave?" Evil Yuugi says: "To be honest i lost track." Yami Rena says: "I'm not surprised, trust him to head off without telling anyone". Evil Yuugi says: "Hey Yuugi what in the world is going on out there?" Came Raphael's voice. Yami Rena says: "It is him" Anzu mumbled, turning back to Raphael. Evil Yuugi says: "Hey Anzu, good to see you again!" He called with a smile. Yami Rena says: "Hey Raphael, where did you head off to?" Evil Yuugi says: "Converted our enemy's strongholds into other bases for us." Yami Rena says: "Great idea" Anzu replied proudly. Evil Yuugi says: Raphael blushed slightly. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as she noticed Raphael's blush, he had done well to sneak off for such a helpful reason, she appreciated it. Yuugi smiled. Yami Rena says: "Raphael, thanks, it means a lot that you did that, after all, it's going to save us a lot of time". Evil Yuugi says: "No problem." Yami Rena says: "Well, what do you plan to do? Your family are on our side now". Evil Yuugi says: "I know." Yami Rena says: "Are you going to visit them then? You're welcome to head off whenever you want to, especially after all you've done" Evil Yuugi says: "No, seriously i'm fine." Yami Rena says: "Alright then. Yuugi and I are heading upstairs to have a look at the city, what about you?" Evil Yuugi says: "Sure i'll come along." Yami Rena says: "Alright, come on then" Anzu replied with a smile. Evil Yuugi says: "Want to use our flying monsters rather than walking?" Yami Rena says: "We could always do that, after all, Yuugi's been able to summon his monsters outside of duels. I forgot about that when you summoned your Black Magician". Evil Yuugi says: "All right," He said summoning Guardian Airtos. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as she pulled a card from her own deck, playing Seiyaryu. Evil Yuugi says: "Seiyaryu? I didn't know you had that card." Yuugi said. Yami Rena says: "I got it lately. Want to ride with me?" Evil Yuugi says: "Sure..its so pretty." Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled before turning and climbing onto the back of her dragon. Shuffling herself into a comfortable position, she held her hand out for Yuugi to take. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi happily took it as Raphael calmly climbed on to Airtos. Yami Rena says: Anzu pulled Yuugi onto the dragon's back, hoisting him up to sit behind her, smiling happily as she turned to the dragon, commanding it to take them to one of the room along the corridor ahead. Evil Yuugi says: The dragon growled softly as it did so. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as she felt the breeze from the dragon's movements, she glanced at Yuugi. "Which room should we look out from? we'll need one with a good view" Evil Yuugi says: "Doesn't matter to me." Yami Rena says: "Well, I don't know if certain places would agree with you, after all, we can't risk anything going wrong now". Evil Yuugi says: "Nothing can." Yami Rena says: "That's good, after all, I think Yami's blood is still in that room, I didn't want to push things too far so soon". Evil Yuugi says: "Don't worry." Yami Rena says: "Alright then. That has a decent view, do you want to try there or somewher else? I'd be more comfortable with somewhere else but if you're ready to face it, you know". Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah i'm ready." Yami Rena says: "Okay then. Seiyaryu, stop outside the room where Black Magician was summoned, we'll head in there". Evil Yuugi says: He nodded with a smile as he did so. Yami Rena says: Anzu glanced at the door as the dragon came to a slow stop. She leapt down from it, turning back to Yuugi, knowing when to call back her Seiyaryu. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi slowly climbed off the dragon giving him a friendly smile. Yami Rena says: Anzu held the card up, recalling the dragon, she looked back as she waited for Raphael. Evil Yuugi says: Raphael slowly came in gently gripping Airtos' wing. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled before nodding and moving ahead, pushing the door slowly open. Evil Yuugi says: The 2 followed, with dark smirks. Yami Rena says: Anzu glanced at the patch of redness that had remained, finding it slightly eerie before shaking it off and concentrating on what they had come for, flicking the light switch for the lights to turn on. Evil Yuugi says: "What happened over here?" Raphael asked. Yami Rena says: "Just finishing off the Pharaoh, don't worry, he's not going to bother us anymore, isn't that right Yuugi". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes my queen." Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled before continuing into the toom. Yami Rena says:

• room

Evil Yuugi says: "I see now.." Yami Rena says: "Yes" Anzu replied quietly. "Now we'll just use this room for watching out over the city, there's no body to throw back into that cage". Evil Yuugi says: "True,true." Yami Rena says: "Come on, let's see how those outside are doing" Anzu called, walking towards the windows at the other end of the room. "Yeah, though i wouldnt mind banishing a few more.." Yami Rena says: "You'll get your chance" Anzu chuckled, peering out of the window. Evil Yuugi says: "What can you see the future now?" Yuugi teased. Yami Rena says: "No, but I'll let you have your chance to have some fun, after all, what's world domination without reminders?" Evil Yuugi says: "True" Yami Rena says: "See, you'll have your fun".

"I get this feeling there's a few we can't affect."

Yami Rena says: "What do you mean? The power of the Oracle engulfed the entire world, everyone on the planet should be affected. There's something going on, you've been doubting whether it really worked ever since we did it". Evil Yuugi says: "Calm yourself." (you do shadi Yami Rena says: "The boy is right, there are a few existing souls that have been left unaffected by the power in which you whield" a familiar voice admitted. "Who's there?" Anzu called. Shadi - guardian of the Items - emerged close to Yuugi, Anzu glared at him, she cursed for not remembering spirits like him. Evil Yuugi says: "Damn it.. i knew that infernal spirit was still around." Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, you are the holder of the Puzzle, you of all people should know what dangerous powers threaten life on the planet with forces such as the Oracle" Shadi spoke tonelessly. Yuugi started laughing. "I fail to see the humour, allowing it to control you is bad enough, killing the Pharaoh was pushing it, the only thing you can do from now is kill yourself, by allowing the Oracle to control you, it will begin to consume your very core, much like it did the Pharaoh in how you killed him". "Don't you think i'm aware of that?" Yami Rena says: "Obviously not or else you'd understand you have to go back". Evil Yuugi says: "Your insane.." Yami Rena says: "Hardly, you're the one that's destroyed the world that this planet once was and surrounded it in darkness. Listening to reason isn't insanity". Evil Yuugi says: "What you consider reason I consider insanity." Yuugi countered with a soft chuckle. Yami Rena says: "That's what the Oracle considers insanity, not Mutou Yuugi. If you don't wake up, I'll be forced to enter your mind and help you from inside". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi laughed wickedly. "Fool your pathetic Sennen Items are powerless to the relics i wield. Isn't that right, Anzu-chan?" Yami Rena says: "It's true, the Oracle may not be able to get past the Items when activated, but the Items cannot fight back against the Oracle itself". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi snickered softly. Yami Rena says: Shadi's glare hardened, faililng to see the humour once again. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi smirked, pulling out the Dark Scale and Key the Sennen items' evil twins. Yami Rena says: "I see, a combination of true darkness and the Sennen Items". Evil Yuugi says: "Correct. They are far more powerful than the originals." Yuugi replied, showing the Dark Puzzle. Yami Rena says: "I sensed the power compared to the Sennen Puzzle, I just belived that was down to the Pharaoh' Yami Rena says:

• Pharaoh's condition, I guess I've been proved wrong".

Evil Yuugi says: "Your correct. Yami No Yuugi no longer exsists!" Yami Rena says: "I felt it, that propted my arrival. It wasn't long ago that the last essence of his spirit passed through, I hope you understand that its too late to get him back, even when you're released from the Oracle, and you'll want to see him to apologize like you did once before, it will be too late". Evil Yuugi says: "Don't bore me with your guilt speeches." Yuugi sneered. Yami Rena says: "It's more the truth than a tactic to open your eyes, if there was anything I could do, you know I would help you get him back, even if you claim you don't care. He protected you from the Oracle before, open your eyes, you will see that things have spiralled out of control". Evil Yuugi says: "Be thankful i haven't figured out how to destroy you yet." Yuugi hissed. Yami Rena says: "You can't destroy me, I'm the guardian of the Sennen Items, there's a reason I've existed for 3000 years". Evil Yuugi says: "What's that?" Yami Rena says: "I'm a spirit, I can't be destroyed, I'm not the same as the Pharaoh was so you can't physically attack me like you did him". Evil Yuugi says: "Heh true.. however i could forcibly give you human form." Yami Rena says: "It's not the same, you can't while I hold the role of the guardian of the Items, especially as I hold two to protect me from your power". Evil Yuugi says: "I told you the Oracle exsisted long before the Items, therefore their useless to you against me." Yami Rena says: "However, the Items themselves can be used as protection, remember that you were the one that activated the Puzzle when the Pharaoh's soul was at risk while the Oracle was closing on him in his duel with Dartz, you saved him with it". Evil Yuugi says: "True however it was thanks to him i now rule this pathetic realm. Had he never played the Oracle against Raphael my darkness would still be locked away." Yami Rena says: "Didn't you listen to a word he said before, he was worried about losing and what the fate of boths worlds would have been. When the duel ended, he was glad he was going to pay the price, he didn't expect nor want you to interfere, you did that yourself, he tried to stop you, you can't blame him for something he wanted to end without you at risk". Evil Yuugi says: "If he had lost normally there would have been no need for him to actually challenge Dartz or face Raphael again." Yuugi countered. Yami Rena says: "Something would have occured, he was drained during the battle, Raphael knew his desperation would mean he'd plau it to survive the duel, he would have been weakened and challenged again. You have no idea what could have happened, had the others not been about, he could have been taken straight to Dartz from there". Evil Yuugi says: "How do you figure? Yami wasn't THAT reckless." Yami Rena says: "The Oracle stone that was around his neck at the time was beginning to cloud his mind, you said it yourself, he was being affected from the darkness within the Oracle bringing him to play it". Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah i know what i said." Yami Rena says: "Exactly, he wasnt' solely responsible, he was influenced, just like you were". Evil Yuugi says: "What's your point?" Yami Rena says: "You blame him for everything that's led to this, even when he was trying to save you, you were denying his words. Open your eyes to the real Yuugi that is buried deep inside, he exists inside you, you're just afraid to admit it". Evil Yuugi says: "Silence.." Yami Rena says: "You cannot silence the truth" Shadi called. Evil Yuugi says: "It isn't!" Yami Rena says: "To the Oracle it isn't. To Yuugi it is". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi put his hand to his forehead. "Stop it..your messing with my head!" Yami Rena says: "That's just the Yuugi that understood the Pharaoh breaking loose. The real Mutou Yuugi". Evil Yuugi says: "No..." Yami Rena says: "No what? You can't right it if he knows its the truth. What was the reason he first let you take over him, think back if you haven't destroyed his memories". Evil Yuugi says: "Anzu..get him away from me.." Yami Rena says: Anzu growled, moving forward, ready to hit Shadi back, when all she did was pass through him, she glared back at him. Evil Yuugi says: "Leave...now!" Yuugi hissed at the spirit. Yami Rena says: "Not until Yuugi has been released and you gone". Evil Yuugi says: "I told you.. the Yuugi you knew is long gone.." Yami Rena says: "I don't think so. He's in there, all that time you said he didn't exist and he still surfaced for the Pharaoh. He's still in there". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi glared at him before he suddenly lost consciousness. (Its so Shadi will leave) Yami Rena says: Shadi sighed before turning to Anzu. "He's fighting back for now, if he loses, I may have to return, maybe I can get the real Yuugi out long enough to go in and save him, I have something that will help that become a reality" he spoke before fading. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi opened his eyes. "Is he gone?" Yami Rena says: "Yeah, he's gone, but I doubt he will be forever". Evil Yuugi says: "He cant destroy everything we've worked for.." Yami Rena says: "We won't let him, we'll fight". Evil Yuugi says: "How can we?" Yami Rena says: "We will, as long as you hold back the old Yuugi, he can't get into your mind. You just have to fight back the words that he and Yami said. If you let them get to you, the old Yuugi will break free like before". Evil Yuugi says: "The old Yuugi is dark now." Yami Rena says: "Even so, there's light inside him that both Yami and Shadi just now played off. If you can't fight back, that light will grow, grow until the real Yuugi realizes how much damage has been done and breaks free". Evil Yuugi says: "Don't worry." Yami Rena says: "Good, I don't want to but I was worried before when he seemed tobe winning the fight of words". Evil Yuugi says: "Oh." Yami Rena says: "What's the matter? I do believe in you and that you can fight it, I was just conserned. Evil Yuugi says: "Nothings wrong I promise." Yami Rena says: "Alright then". Evil Yuugi says: Yubel appeared in spirit form and smiled at Anzu. Yami Rena says: "What does that want?" Anzu asked, pointing at Yubel. Evil Yuugi says: "Anzu be nice she has feelings you know.." Yuugi replied. Yami Rena says: "I know, I just don't like it when it appears like that out of nowhere and I wasn't entirely sure it was a she". Evil Yuugi says: "How?" Yami Rena says: "How what?" Evil Yuugi says: "How were you not sure?" Yami Rena says: "It never said, nothing to confirm anything about it". Evil Yuugi says: Yubel shot her a dirty look. Yami Rena says: Anzu returned the look. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi giggled, enjoying the 2 girls fight. Yami Rena says: Anzu glanced at Yuugi as she heard him giggling before shooting another dark look at Yubel. Evil Yuugi says: Yubel stuck her tongue out teasingly. Yami Rena says: Anzu grit her teeth, balling her fists, turning to Yuugi. "Control you little friend over there" she hissed. Evil Yuugi says: "Aww Anzu she just wants to play thats all." Yami Rena says: "It'd hardly be playing if I could get my hands on her". Evil Yuugi says: "Anzu.." He said sternly. Yami Rena says: "What?" Evil Yuugi says: "Don't even think about harming Yubel." Yami Rena says: "But you'd let her hurt me? Is that what you're saying?" Evil Yuugi says: "She can't hurt you." Yami Rena says: "But if she had the chance, if she could, would you stop her like you just talked to me?" Evil Yuugi says: "Of course but just for future reference what would happen if i didn't?" Yami Rena says: "How could you ask that?" Anzu asked, feeling hurt. "I thought you cared about me enough to stop anything happening to me, I've helpe dyou so much". Evil Yuugi says: "I'm just asking in case the situation ever arises.." Yami Rena says: "Well then I'll have to fight by myself" Anzu growled. Evil Yuugi says:

• Nice going, Yuugi now you screwed up.* He mentally berated himself.

Yami Rena says: Anzu turned away, glaring down at the people below, clenching her balled fist tighter, narrowing her eyes to intensify her glare. Evil Yuugi says: (Shes angry at him aint she ^^; Yami Rena says: (yepyep >3) Evil Yuugi says: (oh lord..) "Oh now come on Anzu it was only a hypothetical question." Yami Rena says: "You shouldn't have asked it, I've helped you so much and then you asked something in a situation when you weren't helping me? It just didn't feel right". Evil Yuugi says: "Your mad at me aren't you?" Yami Rena says: "Maybe, maybe not. It's that whatever you called it I'm mad at most". Evil Yuugi says: "Yubel-chan?" Yami Rena says: "Fine then, your little Yubel". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi chuckled, pinching her cheek playfully. "I think your jealous." Yami Rena says: Anzu lightly slapped his hand away with the back of her hand. "I'm not jealous" she answered sternly. "How could I be jealous of it. It's just taking Yami's place for crying out loud, I'm your wife, a much better position than a yami". Evil Yuugi says: "Then why the attitude?" Yuugi teased. Yami Rena says: "Because you treat it like its the closer one to you, just because it lives inside of you" Anzu sighed. Evil Yuugi says: "I always use chan after a girls name!" Evil Yuugi says: (He may be evil but hes polite lol Yami Rena says: "I meant the other things" Anzu replied, stopping and shaking her head. "It doesn't matter". Evil Yuugi says: "Does it bother you that bad?" Yami Rena says: "I said it doesn't matter. Let's just go have some fun with those humans like you wanted". Evil Yuugi says: "Your not still mad are you?" Yami Rena says: "No, just forget all of that". Evil Yuugi says: "You sure?" Yami Rena says: "Yes I'm sure". Evil Yuugi says: "Ok let's go. Do you want me to carry you or something?" Yami Rena says: "I'm fine, I can go myself, we could always take my dragon". Evil Yuugi says: "Your really fond of him huh?" Yami Rena says: "Its a useful creature and yes I do". Evil Yuugi says: "He's even stronger than Black Magician." Yami Rena says: Anzu pulled the card from her deck, looking down at its stats. "Its attack is the same, its defense is stronger".

Evil Yuugi says: "That's what i meant." Yami Rena says: "I see, then yes". Evil Yuugi says: "How did you get such a powerful dragon?" Yami Rena says: "I got some cards a little while ago, shortly before this time this all started". Evil Yuugi says: "Is he your favorite?" Yami Rena says: "I guess so, he or Black Magician Girl". Evil Yuugi says: The female mage appeared, smiling at her. Yami Rena says: "Black Magician Girl" Anzu replied with a smile. Evil Yuugi says: She giggled softly and smiled. Yami Rena says: "How are you after showing up the last time?" Evil Yuugi says: "I'm good how bout you?" She asked sweetly, her outfit was now black and red rather than her old blue one.

Evil Yuugi just sent you a nudge.

Yami Rena says: "I'm fine too". Evil Yuugi says: She giggled. "Do you like my new look?" Yami Rena says: "Yes, it's very fitting". Evil Yuugi says: She blushed. "Really?" Yami Rena says: "Yes, its a good look". Evil Yuugi says: She smiled, kissing her cheek. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as Black Magician Girl kissed her cheek, glancing at Yuugi, wondering if he had summoned her. Yuugi nodded, silently his mind deep in thought. Yami Rena says: "What's the matter?" Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi didn't hear her. Yami Rena says: Anzu sighed, folding her arms, wondering what it could have been that had kept Yuugi from responding. Evil Yuugi says: "Yuugi-kun?" Black Magician Girl asked softly. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, is something the matter? Why aren't you answering?" Anzu asked. "I bet he's talking to Yubel like he used to Yami". Evil Yuugi says: "Who's Yubel?" Black Magician Girl asked. Yami Rena says: "This creature that emerged not too long after Yami died. It's basically replaced him inside of Yuugi, claiming it wants to help, but he's been so different since it arrived". Evil Yuugi says: "She." Yuugi insisted.

Evil Yuugi just sent you a nudge.

Yami Rena says: "Fine then, she" Anzu sighed, rolling her eyes. Evil Yuugi says: BMG looked a little puzzled. Yami Rena says: "Funny how he answered when I mentioned Yubel. Anyway, she emerged and entered his body, sort of like a replacement for Yami. But since then, he seems to have changed, like he's been more doubtful and stuff". Evil Yuugi says: "He's probably just getting using to her my evil queen." BMG replied. Yami Rena says: "I suppose. It just felt so strange". Evil Yuugi says: "Don't worry." Yami Rena says: "I'll try not to, it's just going to take some getting used to from this side too". Evil Yuugi says: "I'll be here." Yami Rena says: "Alright then, I'll count on you and Seiyaryu. Seiyaryu more for transport and you can stick around more like Black Magician did". Evil Yuugi says: BMG looked concerned at the mention of her master. Yami Rena says: "What's the matter? You didn't seem upset when you and he were out together before". Evil Yuugi says: "It's just master Mahad has been very busy lately.." Yami Rena says: "He has? I didn't know a spirit had so much to do". Evil Yuugi says: "He's just honing his magical abilities." Yami Rena says: "I see". Evil Yuugi says: "Yep." She giggled. "Even us monsters have to train." Yami Rena says: "Yeah, staying in another world can't be easy either. So we should just summon as few as possible". Evil Yuugi says: "Why?" Yami Rena says: "We don't want to put too much pressure on them, it might even start affecting us if we do it too much". Evil Yuugi says: BMG chuckled. "No we're all used to this realm." Yami Rena says: "Alright then, so we won't risk anyone. That's good to know". Evil Yuugi says: Another mage that looked similar to BMG appeared. Yami Rena says: "Who's that?" Anzu asked as she waited for the mage to appear enough for her to determine its identity. Evil Yuugi says: BMG smiled. "That's Magician's Valkyria." Yami Rena says: "Magician's Valkyria, it's been a while" Anzu replied with a smile. Evil Yuugi says: Valkyria smiled back at her. "Yes I agree." Yami Rena says: "So I see you came to help us then like Black Magician Girl. Did Yuugi summon you too? He seemed awfully quiet and I can't seem to make him answer". Evil Yuugi says: "Actually i did." BMG replied, pointing to the duel disk on her left arm. Yami Rena says: "Black Magician Girl, you have a Duel Disk?" Anzu gasped. "So, how did you get here, by yourself?" Evil Yuugi says: "When Yuugi summoned me i can use my magic to summon monsters with a duel disk as well." Yami Rena says: "I see, so now you can help us like any duelists that would summon a monster and use your magic like a monster too. Hey Yuugi, did you hear that? Did you know that?" Evil Yuugi says: "Yes and Yes." Yuugi replied. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, so you're talking again. Are you alright? Why didn't you talk before?" Evil Yuugi says: "I was reflecting on the past while i talked to Yubel-chan." Yami Rena says: "What did you talk about? Or is this one of those mind-link things you don't share? I don't mind either way". Evil Yuugi says: "Just the past." Yami Rena says: "Alright then. So, do we go and see the progress that those down outside are up to? That place you told them to create shouldn't be done for a while, but Jou and the others should keep them in line". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes let's." Yami Rena says: Anzu nodded before glancing out ofthe window once more and then walking past Yuugi, to the door slowly. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi instead summoned Curse of Dragon. Yami Rena says: Anzu turned back when she noticed the dragon, looking down at her own card, opening the door and summoning Seiyaryu in the corridor and jumping onto its back Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi instead, flew out through the open window. (Hes being a show-off ^^) Yami Rena says: "Yuugi" Anzu called. She rolled her eyes, what a show off, that normally impressed her, but that was probably down to Yubel. She sighed, sending her dragon down the corridor. Evil Yuugi says:

• It wasn’t for Yubel* He sent.

Yami Rena says: 'Then what was it? You don't normally do that, not even like this' Anzu returned. Evil Yuugi says:

• Maybe i wanted to show off*

Yami Rena says: 'You and your ways' Evil Yuugi says:

• Whats wrong with that*

Yami Rena says: 'Nothing, I didn't say anything was wrong with that' Evil Yuugi says:

• Want to have a little race with our dragons once you get outside?*

Yami Rena says: 'Sure, why not' Evil Yuugi says:

• All right but don't cry when you lose* He teased.

Yami Rena says: 'I won't lose. And I certainly won't cry. That's those babies' jobs' Evil Yuugi says:

• Who Alcina?*

Yami Rena says: 'I guess. Her and Rebecca' Evil Yuugi says:

• Come on, Curse of Dragon has left a flame trail for the track so to speak*

'I won't lose easily, I'll put up a fight' He smiled inwardly and led her to the track. Anzu led her dragon out of the building, following Yuugi, holding tightly onto the back of her dragon. "So here's the rules you can bump each other but you can't use immense attacks like my Curse of Dragon's flame attacks for example. First one around the track 3 times wins." Yami Rena says: "Right". Evil Yuugi says: "Ready....set.....Go!" Yuugi called and took off. Yami Rena says: Anzu turned ahead, shooting ahead alongside Yugi, Seiyaryu sticking close to Curse of Dragon. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi looked at her and gave a wink before Curse of Dragon got a few hundred feet ahead. Yami Rena says: Anzu grinned before lowering herself, laying close to the dragon's back, leaving it to speed up, slowly catching up to Curse of Dragon. Evil Yuugi says: "What the.." Yuugi said puzzled. Yami Rena says: "Get ready Yuugi, here I come" Anzu laughed. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi looked around for her slowly, but couldnt see her. Yami Rena says: Anzu looked over the dragon's head, grinning when she noticed Yuugi looked puzzled. Evil Yuugi says: "Where did she..." Yuugi muttered. Yami Rena says: Anzu rose up again, seeing her dragon much closer to Curse of Dragon, her grin remained strong. "Hey sweetie, what's the matter? You looked confused". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi jumped, nearly falling off his Dragon. "Don't scare me like that!" He scolded her playfully. Yami Rena says: "Aw, I'm sorry. But don't complain if it happens again, don't forget we're still playing. I'll do what I can to win, I won't lose to you" Anzu teased. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi grinned. "Nor will i to you my cutie." Yami Rena says: "Good to here, keep up then" Anzu called, pulling ahead slightly. Evil Yuugi says: "I will don't worry." (Just to add a bit of danger have a rogue dragon accidently attack them) Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled as she looked back at him, turning ahead in time to see a rogue Blackland Fire Dragon unleashing its attack, heading towards them. She commanded her dragon to evade, it succeeded. "Yuugi, watch out" she called. Evil Yuugi says: "What the- aah!" Yuugi cried as he felt his arm get singed by the attack as he evaded. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, no!" Anzu called, slowing her dragon. "Are you alright?" Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah i'm fine it stings a little though." Yami Rena says: "Maybe we should go back and get it sorted". Evil Yuugi says: "I'm fine." He said, his stubbornness showing. Yami Rena says: "I don't know, you're tough, but I want to make sure you're alright" Anzu replied. Evil Yuugi says: "I said i'm fine." He said and took off again. Yami Rena says: Anzu watched as Yuugi moved ahead, lowering herself slightly to gain more speed. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi looked back at her, and with a sort of childish grin surged far ahead of her. Yami Rena says: "Good try Yuugi, but I'll catch up" she laughed, gripping tighter as her dragon began to speed up. Evil Yuugi says: He turned sharply around the last corner and crossed the start/finish line seconds before she caught up. Yami Rena says: Anzu smirked as she passed the line, she was close to him now, real close. Evil Yuugi says: "This is the last time around Anzu-chan.." Yuugi taunted sweetly. Yami Rena says: "Good, then I'll get you before crossing this time". Evil Yuugi says: "I don't think so." Yami Rena says: "We'll see about that then, won't we?" Anzu called, her dragon slowly gaining. Evil Yuugi says: Stealthily, Yuugi had managed to use his Hinotama card without her seeing just to make things tough for her. Yami Rena says: Anzu looked up as meteors began to reign down from the sky, her dragon pulled to each side to evade them, she sighed as she watched Yuugi getting further ahead. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi managed to easily coast to the end thanks to aid from Hinotama. "I win!" He called gleefully. Yami Rena says: Anzu followed shortly, her dragon much slower than when she had been racing. "Congratulations Yuugi" she sighed. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi turned around, expecting to see her smiling, but she wasn't. Yami Rena says: "So, what do we do? Do I have to pay something for losing?" Anzu asked. Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah, just a few kisses." Yuugi chirped. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled, walking forward, laying her hands on Yuugi's shoudlers and leaning down, kissing him deeply on the lips. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi giggled softly, enjoying the kiss. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as she heard Yuugi giggle, pushing harder against his lips. Evil Yuugi says: "Mmm Anzu your kisses..their like sweet but icy blossoms." Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled as she looked him having pulled away, stroking his blonde bangs. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi chuckled and played with Anzu's brown hair. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled as she watched Yuugi reach up for her hair, looking back at his eyes. "I love you" she whispered. Evil Yuugi says: "I love you too." Yami Rena says: "Good" Anzu whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Cause I never want to lose you". Evil Yuugi says: "You never will." Yami Rena says: "That's good, I'll always be right with you". Evil Yuugi says: (idea ^^ Yami Rena says: (what? =3) Evil Yuugi says: (Well ive always thought of Alexis/Asuka being a decent love rival for Anzu maybe have her come in ^^) Yami Rena says: ( sure) Yami Rena says: (wait, how old would she be in DM? =o) Evil Yuugi says: (She'd actually be 7 but ignore the time gap and say it was er... time-travel ^^) Yami Rena says: ( kay) Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi nodded, smiling. Yami Rena says: Anzu pulled herself up, smiling as she looked about at the people working around. Evil Yuugi says: "Heh this is enjoyable.." Yuugi said with a sadistic smile. Yami Rena says: "Yes, it's the best, I never want it to end". Evil Yuugi says: "Your as malicious as me." Yami Rena says: Anzu giggled, smiling as she stood upright again, looking back at the tower with pride. Evil Yuugi says: (Can you do Asuka coming in via time-travel?) Yami Rena says: (sure) Evil Yuugi says: "You like that huh?" Yami Rena says: A misty looking vortex appeared close by, a girl looking around the age of Yuugi and Anzu slipped out, long blonde hair, hazel eyes. Her attire being a white shirt and skirt. Yuugi whistled softly. "Damn she looks good." He commented to himself. (Shes White Asuka but have her fall for Yuugi rite away) Yami Rena says: Anzu glanced at Yuugi as she heard him whisper something. The girl turned to him, blushing as she heard his whistle. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi gave her an innocent but bad-boy wink. Yami Rena says: The girl pressed a hand against her cheek, blushing more. Anzu turned to her with narrow eyes. "Who are you?" she asked sharply. "My name's Asuka" the other girl replied. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi chuckled softly. "That's a cute name." Yami Rena says: "Yuugi" Anzu mumbled, glaring at him. Asuka blushed as she looked at Yuugi. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi didn't hear Anzu as he gave Asuka an icy grin. (He's just teasing Asuka) Yami Rena says: Asuka smiled, moving forward towards the pair. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi made no movement as he silently scanned her outfit. His eyes fell on her white high-heeled boots. He wondered if Anzu would want a pair. Yami Rena says: "Hi there. I never got your names" Asuka spoke. Evil Yuugi says: "I'm Yuugi and this is Anzu." Yuugi said cheerfully not wanting to let Asuka know he and Anzu were married as he figured he could use the feelings he sensed against her. Yami Rena says: Asuka smiled in response to hearing the names of the two, glancing at Anzu who seems less than comfortable with the moment. Evil Yuugi says: (Since shes from the future she should be more excited as in her time Yuugi is like everyones idol at Duel Academia) Yami Rena says: (she will be >3) Evil Yuugi says: (how? Yami Rena says: (she's only just travelled back through time, she'll notice its him in the next post >3) Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi just smiled back, unsure of how else to react. Yami Rena says: "Wait a minute" Asuka gasped, narrowing her eyes then widening them again. "Aren't you Mutou Yuugi? You are". Evil Yuugi says: (msn screwed so ill repost meh last Yami Rena says: (sure) Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi blushed a bit. "How'd you know my last name was Mutou?" He asked out of pure curiousity.

Yami Rena says: "Because everyone at Duel Academia knows who you are, you're an idol to us all" Asuka answered proudly. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi looked puzzled as did Anzu as Duel Academia's project had only just started in their time. Yami Rena says: "I don't understand, how could that Duel Academia have been created already? The project has only recently begun" Anzu asked Yuugi. Evil Yuugi says: "She must be from the future." Yuugi whispered. Yami Rena says: "The future? That must be it, after all, that thing that opened up looked pretty strange". Evil Yuugi says: "Asuka?" Yuugi asked calmly. Yami Rena says: "Yes Yuugi-san?" Yami Rena says: (is that right? =x) Evil Yuugi says: (san is formal but id use sama since they idolize him so much Yami Rena says: (right) Yami Rena says: Yami Rena says: "Yes Yuugi-sama?" Evil Yuugi says: "This may come as a shock to you, but Duel Academia doesn't exsist in this time. Are you by chance from the future?" Yami Rena says: "Doesn't exist? Well, I guess I could be, I remember all the pictures of you, a lot taken from the look you have now, but you do seem a lot younger than some of the other photos that had been taken since this look. I guess I must be". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi chuckled softly. "I thought so. Seto-kun has only just begun the Academia." Yami Rena says: "I see. This is strange, I didn't expect to fall through time, especially to find you, Yuugi-sama". Evil Yuugi says: "Heh nor did i Asuka-san." Yami Rena says: Asuka smiled, here she was, before a younger version of her idol, the inspiration of the students in Duel Academia, she felt like the luckiest person in the world, she blushed slightly more. Evil Yuugi says: "Another question if i may Asuka?" Yami Rena says: "Of course Yuugi-sama". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi blushed. Hardly anyone he knew used the sama honorific for him. Yami Rena says: Anzu looked away from the pair, trying not to get annoyed at the blushes. Evil Yuugi says: "Well when Seto planned the Academia his dorms were Blue, Yellow and Red for the 3 Gods so why are you wearing White?" (Here's where the coldness comes in when she explains the white dorm or the association of light Yami Rena says: "That's what you think happens. The Obelisk Blue dorm doesn't exist. When the Light arrived, we got rid of the blue and allowed the white to purify our dorm as it did us" Asuka answered sternly. Evil Yuugi says: "Light?" He asked. Since his takeover, light was non-exsistant to him. Yami Rena says: "Yes, they call it the Light of Ruin, but we find that insulting, we just refer to it as the Light and we are its society". Evil Yuugi says: "Strange.. i thought i destroyed all light..." Yami Rena says: "I guess not, something must be trying to fight back" Anzu sighed. Evil Yuugi says: "Not so loud, she might hear you!" Yuugi warned. Yami Rena says: "I won't" Anzu whispered, turning to Yuugi. "We won't let her find out, not yet, not unless you need her as part of your plan whenever". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi nodded. "So Asuka.. what is this light of yours?" (Ooh brillant idea struck ^^ Yami Rena says: (what? =o) "This light came to Duel Academia from somewhere far, I don't know what it is, only that its what's best for the place". Evil Yuugi says: (Well what if when he trys to make the future match his time he gets infected by the Light of Ruin like Saiou was ^^ Yami Rena says: (=o oh yeah) Evil Yuugi says: (Wanna try?) Yami Rena says: (sure ^_^) Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi shivered. The very thought of light invading his world of beautiful darkness scared him to his core. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi-sama?" Evil Yuugi says: "Yes?" (Maybe she gets curious about the Oracle and orchestrates a plan to infect him with the Light of Ruin.) Yami Rena says: "Are you alright? You look pale. And what is that around your neck?" Asuka asked, narrowing her eyes, beginning to sense a feeling from the stone. Evil Yuugi says: "I'm fine and this is the Oracle Stone. It helps me purge the planet of light." Yami Rena says: "Purge the light" Asuka muttered under her breath. "If I could make him see the light, I could protect it". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi smirked wickedly and gestured to the vast area of shadows surrounding them. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi-sama, there's something I have to ask you". (how would she try to infect him with the light again?) Evil Yuugi says: (Take him and Anzu to her time where her own magic which has the l.o.r. in it works and infect the Oracle Stone with it.) "What is it?" Yami Rena says: (ah) "I'd like to show you something. I want to show you Duel Academia and how everyone idolizes you". Evil Yuugi says: "How can you do that?" Yami Rena says: "That" Asuka answered, pointing to the misty vortex still floating from which she had emerged. Evil Yuugi says: "All right. I suppose one look wouldnt hurt." Yami Rena says: "Good" Asuka answered, smiling. Evil Yuugi says: Little did Yuugi know that by accepting her offer the world he created may be tainted by light. Yami Rena says: Asuka made her way to the portal, Anzu following close behind so there would at least be something between her and Yuugi. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi followed, figuring it was just a childish game. Yami Rena says: Asuka emerged on the other side, seeing herself outside the Obelisk White dorm, she smiled. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi shielded his eyes. The first thing he would do was turn it black. He hated white. White represented light. Yami Rena says: Asuka turned back to Yuugi with an innocent smile. "What do you think, pretty impressive, right? This is Duel Academia". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes very.." (now comes the part i mentioned bout the Oracle Stone) Yami Rena says: "Yuugi-sama, could I see that stone?" Asuka asked, moving closer. Evil Yuugi says: "Sure." He replied and held it out. Yami Rena says: Asuka held it tightly, looking at it glimmer betwee her finger and thumb, smiling as she began to feel the light power slipping through them and into the stone. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi watched, not realizing his most powerful weapon was being tainted. Yami Rena says: Asuka watched down at it, looking in awe, a mask hiding her true power, the one she was sure would make Yuugi see things from the Society's view Evil Yuugi says: (Sooner or later she'll be evil and tell what she did.) Yuugi looked around at the Academia, admiring Seto's work. Yami Rena says: (yep) Asuka smiled when she noticed the stone glimmer with a white glow for a second. She smiled up at Yuugi, releasing it. "So, what more would you like to see?" Evil Yuugi says: "I'm not sure." He replied. Deep in Yuugi's mind a new being was slowly being released. (I'll do the Light of Ruin in the mental struggle.) Yami Rena says: (kay) "What's the matter Yuugi? Is something wrong?" Anzu asked, turning back. Evil Yuugi says: "No nothing's wrong." (You can start the mental fight.) Yami Rena says: Inside his mind, Yuugi could feel a different presnce, somethng that hadn't been there before, another type having been gone for a long time. Evil Yuugi says: The spirit chuckled malvolently. "Finally a vessel that can blanket the entire world in light.." Yami Rena says: "What? No, the Oracle needs darkness, the light is our enemy" Yuugi protested. Evil Yuugi says: The spirit laughed. "Motou Yuugi..." He said. Yami Rena says: "Yes, I'm Mutou Yuugi, bearer of the Oracle, not your light". Evil Yuugi says: "I am the Light of Ruin." Yami Rena says: "And the light is the enemy of the darkness. And that's what the Oracle is. I already got rid of all the light from my world, too bad, you probably could have teamed up with a certain someone from my world if you were quick enough" Yuugi laughed. Evil Yuugi says: "I do not desire Atem." (The LOR will probably dominate him for awhile but not long enough to make changes.) Yami Rena says: "Ah, so you do know about him. It's a good thing for you that you don't, you would have missed your chance", Evil Yuugi says: "I desire you.." Yami Rena says: "Oh really, well you're not getting me without a fight". Evil Yuugi says: The spirit laughed as light engulfed his mind. Evil Yuugi says: (As the saying goes Light beats Dark ^^ Yami Rena says: Yuugi groaned as he tried to shield himself from the light, it was no use, it was too strong, the Oracle already hit and weakened by the Light that Asuka had injected it with. Evil Yuugi says: "Yuugi-sama?" Asuka asked innocently. (Now he changes) Yami Rena says: Yuugi looked at her with a grin, not the same dark one that had been present in the darkness. "Yes Asuka?" Evil Yuugi says: "Are you ok?" Yami Rena says: "I'm fine. After all, I know what I must do". Evil Yuugi says: "And what's that?" Yami Rena says: "We must let loose the light and eradicate all darkness". "Yuugi" Anzu called. "What the-? Have you lost your mind?" Evil Yuugi says: Asuka giggled softly. "Thats what i was hoping to hear." Yami Rena says: "And why was that? What did you do to him?" Evil Yuugi says: "I've made him see the Light!" She laughed evilly. (But by doing so has freed her own darkness. its an endless circle) Yami Rena says: (Ah >]) "That's stupid, Yuugi wants to be with the Oracle and that wants the darkness to rule". Evil Yuugi says: "Not anymore. I released the Light of Ruin into his Stone." Yami Rena says: "No. Great, now he won't even remember our world and how t was supposed to be" Anzu growled. Evil Yuugi says: "Relax it's still half-dark." Yami Rena says: Anzu sighed, glaring at Asuka without any idea how to stop the Light inside of Yuugi from taking control. Evil Yuugi says: (have her call Asuka a bitch instead, sounds crazy but it may help the dark half fight Yami Rena says: "Why you stupid bitch, how dare you interfere with our plans, damn it" Anzu hissed. Evil Yuugi says: "What plan?" Yami Rena says: "Didn't you see our world? That was our plan, we just needed to hold control over it". Evil Yuugi says: "Your world is unchanged so quit whining brat." Yami Rena says: "I'm the brat? You might want to think about it, if Yuugi's missing from our world or under the control of the Light, this world will be altered. You stupid bitch, you're risking this world by keeping Yuugi out of our world". Evil Yuugi says: (It will? i never thought about that *sweatdrop*) Yami Rena says: () Evil Yuugi says: (How so bro Yami Rena says: (well, without Yuugi, there won't be anything following whatever they had done, with Kaiba on their side, Duel Academia might not be completed and Yuugi's legacy would be altered) Evil Yuugi says: (Ah) "No..your right.." Yami Rena says: "So, you'll let him return with me? Without the light?" Evil Yuugi says: "On one condition." Yami Rena says: "What's that?" Evil Yuugi says: "Give me the Yuugi created by the Light." (eventually Asuka and co's darkness will be piqued so much, the focus of her will turn to darkness stead of light hehe ^^ Yami Rena says: "Fine". Evil Yuugi says: Asuka giggled gleefully as she pulled the light Yuugi from Yuugi's soul. Yami Rena says: Anzu watched sternly as the lighter part of Yuugi was pulled from his soul, watching the Yuugi that stayed close by. Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi groaned as the Oracle regained full control. Yami Rena says: "Yuugi, are you feeling better?" Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah just a huge headache.." Yami Rena says: "That's good. Little miss Yuugi fan here decided to infect you with her little Light thing". Evil Yuugi says: "She may be a little witch but she is cute heh." Yami Rena says: "Yuugi" Anzu growled. "In case you've forgotten". Evil Yuugi says: "Forgotten what?" Yami Rena says: "That you can hardly run around with every cute girl you meet". Evil Yuugi says: "I know i'm just commenting, damn." Yami Rena says: "Well keep the comments to yourself". Evil Yuugi says: "Will you relax?" Yami Rena says: "Fine, let's just go before something happens". Evil Yuugi says: (The portal will remain open for when their consumed by darkness.) Yami Rena says: (yepyep) Evil Yuugi says: "Heh and i thought that Vivian girl was trouble.." Yami Rena says: Anzu growled, looking away before turning from the dorm before them and slowly walking towards the portal behind Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi stopped and stared like Kaiba had during his 2nd duel with Yami at Duelist Kingdom. (after the bit with the rotting blue-eyes ultimate) Yami Rena says: Anzu turned her head back, her eyes softening noticing his look. "Yuugi?" Evil Yuugi says: "Your gonna love this vision.." He muttered. Yami Rena says: "What vision?" Evil Yuugi says: His Dark Necklace activated and showed her the vision of Asuka and the others eventually worshipping the Oracle. Yami Rena says: "Ah" Anzu nodded, smiling darkly, glad to hear that Asuka and the others would be on their side. Evil Yuugi says: "Nuts is it not?" Yami Rena says: "I know" she replied nodding "They seem to be powerful allies according to my vision." Yami Rena says: "Indeed, I wonder what lies for them here, clearly they'll face troubles with that Light of Ruin Asuka's mentioned". Evil Yuugi says: "Hmm should we stay and help?" Yami Rena says: "We could, but what about our own world? Who knows how much could happen while we're gone. After all, Shadi could try and stop them without us now". Evil Yuugi says: "Please he can't stop the entire world. Besides the Oracle created clones of us upon our leaving." Yami Rena says: "I suppose so then". Evil Yuugi says: "That's my Anzu." Yuugi giggled. Yami Rena says: Anzu smiled before turning back towards the dorm, laying a hand on Yuugi's shoulder. Evil Yuugi says: "Try forcing the Oracle on her my sweet." Yami Rena says: "Alright then" Anzu answered. "Asuka, I have something to share with you". Evil Yuugi says: Asuka turned to her, smiling. "What?" Yami Rena says: Anzu walked towards her, the Oracle stone shining, she pressed two fingers against Asuka's forehead. "A present from Yuugi" she answered before the glow grew brighter. Evil Yuugi says: Asuka screamed. Yami Rena says: Anzu grinned as she watched the light growing brighter, the light would give way to the darkness. Evil Yuugi says: "Ju....dai..." She whispered before she was swallowed by the darkness, her outfit now turning pure black. Yami Rena says: Anzu smirked, stepping back towards Yuugi as Asuka was taken by the Oracle, her outfit also affected. Evil Yuugi says: "Whoa, that was unexpected. Yami Rena says: "What do you think Yuugi?" Evil Yuugi says: "Looks cool but that never happened to us." Yami Rena says: "Maybe it was because she had been consumed by light, there wouldn't have been any darkness left in her". Evil Yuugi says: "Hm could be.." Yami Rena says: "Now she's on side, I want to see this Judai kid she mentioned". Evil Yuugi says: "Heh he's probably her crush." Yami Rena says: "Probably, he could also have a link to everything she mentioned. If she's close to him and she's involved, then we could be too. We could find some more of their friends, you saw a few inthe vision, right? They'll be them". Evil Yuugi says: "You have all this planned huh?" Yuugi teased. Yami Rena says: "Yep". Evil Yuugi says: "Really?" Yami Rena says: "If we can turn her against her friends and enlist them, we can fulfill that vision of yours. We could use them in our time until a time in which their presence in the past could be risky. Then they secure this world". "Why would their presence back home be risky?" "Because if they stay too long, this world could be affected, events in our world could occur that could alter afterwards". "You have a point there, but we should stay for abit." Yami Yugi says: "Alright then, I'm sure your other half, Kaiba and Jou can handle everything between themselves for a while". Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah good point." (Now it switches to Seto and Yuugi ill be Seto but u start) Yami Yugi says: "Kaiba" Yuugi whispered, turning to Kaiba sitting close to him. "You alright? You seem awfully quiet". Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba smiled softly at him. "Yuugi.. do you remember the day we met?" (That would be the Exodia ep in case you forget) Yami Yugi says: (yeah, in the dub, beforehand it'd have been in the Shadow Games, like before Death-T >3) "Yeah, I thought you wanted to be close when we were all talking about Duel Monsters in class, next thing I know, you arrived at the shop". Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba looked down. "Yeah...I know." Yami Yugi says: "It's alright, I know you damaged my Grandpa's card, but he taped it together, he and Rebecca's Grandpa were fine with it, Yami and I never held a grudge against you for it, we saw you as a friend. And now I get to see you as closer". Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah...when you beat me with Exodia I swear i lost a piece of myself that day.." Yami Yugi says: "Well, the mind crush used was so you could piece your heart together again, so you could find your real self, thats what we intended it to be, from what I saw afterwards, it worked". Evil Yuugi says: "Mind crush?" He asked. Although he was changed by the Oracle he still had a stubborness for not believeing in magic on some occasions. Yami Yugi says: "Oh come on Kaiba, don't tell me you don't remember, you were lost and confused and eventually it pieced itself together before you headed out to Duellist Kingdom. You have to believe in magic now, look at what the Oracle did last time, look at this time". Evil Yuugi says: "I...do believe in it... it's just i still don't understand something.." Yami Yugi says: "What's that?" Evil Yuugi says: "Just when i was about to win, you drew the one card that assured you victory...Exodia....but how?" Yami Yugi says: "Because I trusted that the cards would come through for me, that is what the Heart of the Cards in. I put my faith in my cards, I trusted that they would come through for me". Evil Yuugi says: "Heart of the cards.." Kaiba repeated. Yami Yugi says: "Yeah, my deck listened to my heart, it heard my voice and responded, I wanted to win to show you that I had something to fight for and that vengence wasn't it, I couldn't win with that". Evil Yuugi says: "Hey Yuugi.." Yami Yugi says: "What?" Evil Yuugi says: "Do you remember that duel? The one you had with that....thing that pretended to be me?" Yami Yugi says: "They said it was the darkness that was the darkness that was left out and sent to the Shadow Realm when you were completing your heart. It was horrible, I couldn't imagine something like that having ever been a part of you". (And it's return is even worse o.o) Evil Yuugi says: (I know i get shivers whenever i see the real thing) "It was...do you know why?" Yami Yugi says: (Yeah and in Reshef of Destruction, it pretended to be Yami cause he and the Puzzle had disappeared with the other Items and tried to steal the Scales, that'd leave only the Puzzle left out there) "Why? Because of your past? The way you didn't trust the world like most people did?" Evil Yuugi says: "Yes Yuugi.. when i became World Champion my mind became corrupted.." Evil Yuugi says: "Shall i go on.." He asked in that longing almost guilty voice. Yami Yugi says: "No, I understand, it's all right, you don't have to go on if it hurts you". Evil Yuugi says: "Let me finish.." He quietly insisted. Yami Yugi says: "Alright then" Evil Yuugi says: "When i heard that your grandfather had the 4th blue-eyes well i was swallowed by the darkness. But somehow when you used that crush i felt lost and confused...and scared." He said the tears coming to his eyes. Yuugi moved closer to Kaiba, wrapping his arms around him. "It's alright Kaiba" he whispered comfortingly. "Yuugi...i.....i love you..." "I love you too" Kaiba smiled a little. Yuugi smiled back, glad that Kaiba had smiled back "Yuugi... there's one more thing on my mind.." Yami Yugi says: "What's that?" Evil Yuugi says: "Do you remember when i used Crush Card on you?" Yami Yugi says: "Yes, I remember that well"> Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba rubbed the back of his head, smiling gently. Yami Yugi says: Yuugi watched silently, unsure what it was that was making Kaiba smile at the memory. Evil Yuugi says: "Sorry. It's just do you recall at the end of the match when you somehow played that wall of furballs er Kuribohs?" He asked, you could tell he was uncomfortable without insulting the small Fiend monster. Yami Yugi says: "Yeah, they were my only defence until I pulled my Celtic Guardian from my deck". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes..then i backed away to the edge." Yami Yugi says: "Yes, you wanted to save Mokuba at all costs, you were testing me to see if I would still attack". Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba froze giving the stare he had following his vision. Yami Yugi says: "What is it?" Yuugi asked, lifting his head. Evil Yuugi says: "I nearly made you kill me.. i was so disgraceful.." Yami Yugi says: "I was desperate too, I couldn't look at the deck afterwards, I was scared to duel, I was scared of Yami, I thought I was becoming like him. I was scared I'd hurt someone". Evil Yuugi says: "You wanted to save the old man - i mean your grandfather. But why didn't you deliver the final strike." (He's trying to be nice but hes still a bit uncomfortable doing so) Yami Yugi says: "Because I wasn't going to be a murderer. Duelling is about playing, it's about honour. Killing you would have done nothing, I couldn't throw your life away like that, I had no right. We were both in the situation". Evil Yuugi says: "But Yuugi.." Yami Yugi says: "But nothing, how could I kill you like that?" Yugi growled. "I couldn't do it. I wouldn't harm you like that, Mokuba would have never forgiven me". Evil Yuugi says: "You have a point.." Kaiba replied but he held his head in sudden pain. Yami Yugi says: "Kaiba, what's wrong?" Yuugi gasped, turning back to Kaiba. Evil Yuugi says: "It's those visions of the past. They keep haunting me.." Yami Yugi says: "Don't worry about them, they're over, there's nothing we can do about them. You should ignore them, we have to focus on now". Evil Yuugi says: "Yuugi..why are they haunting me?" Yami Yugi says: "I don't know, maybe because of how different you are and how you feel about things now". Evil Yuugi says: "Please....help me.." Yami Yugi says: "I will, whatever I have to do, I'll help you. I'll protect you". Evil Yuugi says: He smiled weakly. "If something happens to me..take care of Mokie.."

Evil Yuugi just sent you a nudge.

Yami Yugi says: "I will, I'll do whatever I can". Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba hugged the small boy tightly around his waist. Yami Yugi says: Yuugi hugged back tightly, smiling as he rested his head against Kaiba's chest. Evil Yuugi says: "I love you Yuugi.." Yami Yugi says: "I love you too Kaiba. You feeling any better?" Evil Yuugi says: "Please..call me Seto." Yami Yugi says: "Alright then. Seto". Evil Yuugi says: He chuckled softly. "It gets tiring hearing Kaiba all the time ya know?" Yami Yugi says: "I know, I'm sorry. I wont' call you Kaiba anymore, I'll call you Seto from now". Evil Yuugi says: He smiled. "You can call me Kaiba every now and then i know everyone else is used to calling me that." Yami Yugi says: "Alright then. You feeling any better Seto?" Evil Yuugi says: He kissed the other boy's cheek. "Getting there." Yami Yugi says: "That's good, let me help" Yuugi replied, kissing Kaiba's cheek. Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba blushed a little. Yami Yugi says: Yuugi smiled as he pulled back, seeing Kaiba's blush, it made him smile more. Evil Yuugi says: He ruffled the smaller boy's hair with a playful grin. Yami Yugi says: Yuugi chuckled as Kaiba ruffled his hair, closing his eyes happily as he hugged back. Evil Yuugi says: "Yuugi i'm sorry for all the pain i've caused you in the past my prince." Yami Yugi says: "It's alright, you don't have to apologize, the past is in the past, let's focus on now". Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba chuckled softly. "For someone whose so evil you have a lot of kindness." He teased. Yami Yugi says: "I trust those I can, I care for those I want. Darkness has nothing to do with it". Evil Yuugi says: "I'm gurssing the Darkness doesn't affect those you love." Yami Yugi says: "Yeah, if Yami had listened to us, I'd still care about him. But you listened to reason, it makes you better, you're the one I want to care for, to be with". Evil Yuugi says: "But for how long Yuugi?" He teased lovingly. Yami Yugi says: "You think I'd change, I want you to be here with me. I won't look at people like I do you". Evil Yuugi says: "Really?" Yami Yugi says: "Really, did you think I was going to use you like that?" Evil Yuugi says: "To be honest.. yes." Yami Yugi says: "Seto, don't think like that, I'm here for you". Evil Yuugi says: "Thanks Yuugi." Yami Yugi says: "I hope you'll believe in me Seto, I want to be close to you, I want to trust you, but you have to trust me too" Yuugi whispered, laying his head against Kaiba's chest. Evil Yuugi says: "I do Yuugi i would put my life on the line to save you from danger." Yami Yugi says: "And I'd do anything I could to save you too. I'd put my life on the line, I'd put anything on the line to save you". Evil Yuugi says: "Really now? Even that of your favorite monster, Black Magician?" Yami Yugi says: "If you trusted me that much, I'd trust you that much. And I'd do it". Evil Yuugi says: "I'm glad. And i'd place my Blue-eyes on the line to help you." Yami Yugi says: "See, I can trust you like that. I would and I won't have to hopefully, I won't let someone bring things that far, I'll protect you a lot sooner than that". Evil Yuugi says: Noa soon walked over to them, curiously. Yami Yugi says: Yuugi turned his head to Noa, moving it away from Kaiba's chest slightly. "Noa, what is it?" Evil Yuugi says: "I'm just curious that's all." Yami Yugi says: "Curious about what?" Evil Yuugi says: "You 2." Yami Yugi says: "What about us? We're close like you and Mokuba if that's what you're referring to". Evil Yuugi says: Noa giggled softly. "Not to be rude but you hate one another." Yami Yugi says: "We were rivals, but no-one said we hated each other" Yuugi growled. "We were standing on opposite sides of the field". Evil Yuugi says: "Yuugi relax." Kaiba said softly but firmly. Yami Yugi says: "I am relaxed, I'm just tired of people thinking we hated each other just because we were rivals". Evil Yuugi says: "Well it is a common assumption to make considering how ruthlessly we duel one another." Yami Yugi says: "That's duelling though, it's different". Evil Yuugi says: Blue-Eyes appeared in spirit form by Kaiba's side. Yami Yugi says: Yuugi looked up at Blue-Eyes, surprised it had emerged as a spirit rather than a monster. "Kaiba, what's your dragon doing?" Evil Yuugi says: "It just wants to become an ally to you." Yami Yugi says: "That's sweet, I know Black Magician and Black Magician Girl feel the same way about helping you". Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba smiled. "Why are those 2 always together, anyhow?" He asked not knowing about their past. Yami Yugi says: "I guess they have some kind of special link. After all, they do say the Black Magician Girl is the Black Magician's apprentice". Evil Yuugi says: "Really now.. hmm could what Ishizu have told me before Battle City be true.." Yami Yugi says: "What's wrong? What was that?" Evil Yuugi says: "That you were a pharaoh in the past." Yami Yugi says: Yuugi lifted his head, waiting a moment before turning away. "I was no Pharaoh. That isn't me on the tablet". Evil Yuugi says: Kaiba's eyes widened. "It isn't?" Yami Yugi says: Yuugi held his head away, hiding his eyes beneath the shadow of his hair. "No, I have nothing to do with that tablet. That Pharaoh on that, it's really Yami. I thought that with everyone calling him Pharaoh, it would have made things clear". Evil Yuugi says: "Just like that baka to steal glory that is rightfully yours."

Evil Yuugi just sent you a nudge.

Yami Yugi says: "I guess so, although it is him on that tablet and not me". Evil Yuugi says: "Heh i bet that through Shadow Magic i can change that." Yami Yugi says: "No, leave it, there's not point. He is the ancient version of me like that man he was fighting is the ancient version of you. There's no point in messing with something like that". Evil Yuugi says: "Why?" Yami Yugi says: "It just doesn't feel like we should tamper with the past, we should focus on now and ahead, we should do as my twin and Anzu desire, secure the city, the world. After all, that's what we were brought to the Oracle to do". Evil Yuugi says: "Well I..AAHH!!" And then he lost consciousness. (He fell victim to an unknown magic.) Yami Yugi says: "Kaiba" Yuugi called out, turning back worriedly. "What was that? Damn, I hope he's alright". Evil Yuugi says: "Seto-kun!!" Noa screamed. Yami Yugi says: Yuugi turned to Noa, holding Kaiba up close to him. "Go get the others, we have to find out what happened to him" he called. Evil Yuugi says: "Yes Yuugi-kun." Yami Yugi says: "Hang in there Seto" he whispered to Kaiba. "Whatever happened, I'll stop it, I'll protect you, I said I would, no matter what it was". Evil Yuugi says: Blue-Eyes roared in anger. Yami Yugi says: Yuugi looked up at the dragon, his concern growing as it roared. Evil Yuugi says: "Who harmed Seto-kun?!" Blue-Eyes roared angrily. Yami Yugi says: "You can talk" Yuugi gasped. "I don't know, I didn't see anything around here, I guess it was something else". Evil Yuugi says: "All Duel Monsters can speak with humans." Yami Yugi says: "I see. Well, we should get Seto inside" Yuugi replied reaching for his deck. "I'll summon Curse of Dragon and take him inside". Evil Yuugi says: "No i am his master so i shall tend to his safety." Yami Yugi says: "But you're just a spirit. You mean I should summon you on my Duel Disk?" Evil Yuugi says: (sorry i meant that the other way i rushed it Yami Yugi says: (=o lol, I didn't notice, I'll edit it later ^_^) Evil Yuugi says: (aight) "No just watch." He said and gently picked him up with his claw. Yami Yugi says: Yuugi gasped when he could feel Kaiba leaving his grip as the claw held him up. Evil Yuugi says: "See?" Yami Yugi says: "Alright, I believe you. Come on, we don't have much time, we don't know what happened to him". Evil Yuugi says: (its your turn Yami Yugi says: (it is? I guess my damn MSN dying means I missed the last post =/) Evil Yuugi says: Blue-Eyes nodded.

Yami Yugi says: "Do you want me to ride? Or should I go ahead and find somewhere?" Evil Yuugi says: "Whichever you believe is best." Yami Yugi says: "I'll go ahead, I should find somewhere for him" Yuugi replied, turning his head to the tower before rushing inside. Evil Yuugi says: Back in the future the darker Yuugi groaned softly, sensing Kaiba's pain. Yami Yugi says: "Yuugi? What's the matter?" Anzu asked, turning to him. Evil Yuugi says: "It's Seto. He's hurt." Yami Yugi says: "Should we go back then? I mean, your twin will care for him, but that moves both he and Kaiba from the scene, Jou will have to rely on Noa and Mokuba to lead the others. None of them have any magical ability to persuade them". Evil Yuugi says: "Damn it...right when my strongest plan was beginning." Yami Yugi says: "What should we do then? We can stay if you want, I'm sure Jou could use his fists like he normally does". Evil Yuugi says: "True." Yami Yugi says: "I don't mind either way, I'm prepared for both". Evil Yuugi says: "Yep." Yami Yugi says: "So we should head back then? I'm sure Asuka can continue here, Jou can handle things if we stay, either way, we have both places under control Evil Yuugi says: "Yes..." Yuugi cackled. Absolute victory was his. Any resistance would soon be no more. Yami Yugi says: Anzu smiled at him as he laughed. Evil Yuugi says: (T-That vision. The one i told you about. Evil Yuugi says: (Remember when little Mokie was in the decaying Blue-Eyes Ultimate?) Yami Yugi says: (yeah) Evil Yuugi says: (i quote: Yami: "Kaiba i've never backed away and i'm not starting now! Celtic Guardian attack!" Yami Yugi says: (Oh, yeah, when he was ready to attack without concern outside of the immediate attack) Evil Yuugi says: (Yeah.. i wonder if had Yami attacked would it have killed Kaiba? Yami Yugi says: (He would have, he and Kaiba were really at each other's throats and he didn't want to lose to duel, he was ready to stop Kaiba because he wanted to help get Yuugi's Grandpa back, and Kaiba had said the result 'may' have caused him to fall) Evil Yuugi says: (may? you think it was more than that Yami Yugi says: (well that's what he said, I think he was likely to fall, although in the manga, he would have stepped off himself, Yami wouldn't have stopped and it was only because Yuugi stepped in that he was able to get control of himself again. He was still much darker than later on, like in the Shadow Games, he still didn't believe in mercy and stuff) Evil Yuugi says: (Really?) Yami Yugi says: (Yeah, he said something along those lines that he concentrated more on winning while he was looking back from the Ceremonial Duel) Evil Yuugi says: (ah shall we move on?) Yami Yugi says: (sure) Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi smiled, looking at her fondly. Yami Yugi says: "Have you made your choice? I'm sure we don't have long to choose it" Anzu replied, smiling at Yuugi's own. Evil Yuugi says: "Hang on a second." Yami Yugi says: "What's the matter?" Evil Yuugi says: (I just watched the ep where Tea duels Mai so thats where this comes from Yami Yugi says: (Oh, I see) Evil Yuugi says: "Anzu do you recall when you dueled Mai?" Yami Yugi says: "Yeah, what about it?" Evil Yuugi says: "Well your courage touched me.." Yami Yugi says: "I know, you said so not long afterwards. Although seeing you face down opponents like you had inspired me to fight back for you"> Evil Yuugi says: "Really?" Yami Yugi says: "Yeah, I knew how much you wanted to save your Grandpa, letting it fall apart wasn't something I was going to let happen". Evil Yuugi says: "But i nearly killed Seto." Yami Yugi says: "I understand. Yami was the one that risked him, you saved Kaiba. And doing that, I knew that you had to get into the castle, you risked your chance at the finals to save him, I was proud that you had stopped and it had been me that had run to you to stop the attack. I felt like it was my fault, I had a chance to make it up and I took it". Evil Yuugi says: "But how did you do that?" Yami Yugi says: "When I saw you didn't want to duel, I decided I had to do it for you, before the chance passed, I knew Mai would give them to you eventually, but I wasn't sure what else to do, we had little time, we had to get in soon so I thought it was a chance to help you". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes i know." Yami Yugi says: "I wanted to help, not feel guilty. I did want I had to to make it up to you". Evil Yuugi says: "Yes but Seto got beat by Pegasus." Yami Yugi says: "But you won in the end, you faced your fears and overcame him". Evil Yuugi says: "Yeah.. i despise that creep." Yami Yugi says: "Don't worry, he won't bother anyone, he won't come near you" Anzu replied, wrapping her arms around him. Evil Yuugi says: "You know I have a hunch he hurt Seto." Yami Yugi says: "I think so, maybe he was worried that no-one really did ever care about him. He was only in for it for Mokuba, maybe he was hoping for support or something. But when he saw Yami trying to kill him, he decided he really was better off alone". "Really?" Yami Yugi says: "I guess so". Evil Yuugi says: "Shall we go to aid Seto?" Yami Yugi says: "I think we should, we can prove to him then". Evil Yuugi says: "Come on let's go. All this white is scarring me." Yami Yugi says: Anzu nodded, holding back an urge to laugh before walking towards the portal. Evil Yuugi says: "Go on and laugh babe." Yami Yugi says: Anzu sighed, Yuugi knew her well enough to see she was holding it back. She giggled for a moment before laying her hand on Yuugi's shoulder. "You should fear nothing, nothing can stop us". Evil Yuugi says: "I don't fear." Yami Yugi says: "That's good, fear will expose weakness and we can't risk that". Evil Yuugi says: "Correct." Yami Yugi says: "It helps when there's nothing to stand against us". Evil Yuugi says: "Correct. Realm of shadows in this twilight hour accept these souls and grant us power. Realm of shadows in this twilight hour accept these souls and grant us power." He chanted as a few soul cards were absorbed strengthing their evil magic. Yami Yugi says: Anzu smiled as she watched Yuugi chanting, glad he absorbed the strength of the magic he held. Evil Yuugi says: "Like that?" Yami Yugi says: "Yeah, looks like it's working". Evil Yuugi says: "Yep." Yami Yugi says: Anzu smiled as she watched, looking back at the area around once again. Evil Yuugi says: Anzu grinned, proud of the power that Yuugi had previously held and even now was furthering their strength. 3/25/2008 5:25:35 PM Evil Yugi/Alexis/Asuka (judais evil little girl in rp loves atemu We'll miss u Barbaro Yami Yugi Yuugi chuckled softly.

Yami Yugi says: That was what we did the day when I was on my brother's phone, right? Evil Yuugi says: hai Yami Yugi says: Kaykay ^_^ Evil Yuugi says: its ur turn

Evil Yuugi just sent you a nudge.

Yami Yugi says: Sorry, forgot to get up the word docu, so much to catch up with Yami Yugi says: "How do you feel now?" Anzu asked him, grinning. "Is that working alright?" Evil Yuugi says: "Yes it is big time." Yami Yugi says: "Good, we can't let you get worn down". Evil Yuugi says: "But Seto he's still hurt." Yami Yugi says: "We should help him then, your twin can handle him for a bit, but he might need help. If he hasn't helped Kaiba recover by now, then its doubtful he can at all alone". Evil Yuugi says: "Should we go back?" Yami Yugi says: "Yes, its best we do". Evil Yuugi says: "What about the little white twerp?" Yami Yugi says: "Leave her, unless you want to taker her back, after all, I can't see a use for her. Maybe she could make herself useful with the Oracle here, otherwise, there's nothing". Evil Yuugi says: Yuugi chuckled slightly at her tone. Yami Yugi says: "What?" Evil Yuugi says: "You seem pretty rude to others or about them." He teased. Yami Yugi says: "Thanks" Anzu sighed, rolling her eyes. "Look, make up your mind, we don't have much time if you want to help your twin and Kaiba". Evil Yuugi says: "Whats got you so...uptight?" Yami Yugi says: "Nothing, we just have to hurry, if this place is under the control of a differen power, no sign of the Oracle, then maybe we're not successsful in our bid to take over the world. We have to do everything right or we'll fail". Evil Yuugi says: "Relax.." Yami Yugi says: "Maybe, but its worrying that we've done all this and could still fail, even with everyone else of a threat out of the picture and that we can still fall after winning over the world". Evil Yuugi says: "I'm not worried." Yami Yugi says: "You have so much confidence, good to see you so prepared to fight even what seems like fate still against us". Evil Yuugi says: "Why are you so worried?" Yami Yugi says: "Just that this future is so different from what we've been aiming for. And with other forces threatening them, maybe our world still has still have threats lurking in it". Evil Yuugi says: "We dont't." Yami Yugi says: "Well we should make sure, just to stop this from being a reality". Evil Yuugi says: "Then lets go." (maybe play asuka and the others changing once yuugi and anzu leave Yami Yugi says: (sure) "So, what's your decision? Leave her here? She could help if anything goes wrong in this time". Evil Yuugi says: "For now." Yami Yugi says: "Right" Anzu replied, nodding her head. Asuka turned to Yuugi, staring blankly as the Oracle shone brightly Evil Yuugi says: (it doesnt happen till after they leave if that was for asuka Yami Yugi says: (Yeah) Evil Yuugi says: The two slowly walked through the portal until it closed. Yami Yugi says: Asuka turned from where the portal had been, her eyes focusing on the brightness of the Obelisk dorm, like Yuugi, she now despised the white building, the brightness, it had to go Evil Yuugi says: Manjoume White Thunder walked over. "Asuka-chan whats wrong?" (manjoume = jap chazz) Yami Yugi says: (yepyep, I know X]) "Manjoume, aren't you tired of the light? The time of the light is over, you should see the darkness that has been brought to me" Asuka replied, ending with a grin. "We should duel and see which is strong, light or darkness". Evil Yuugi says: "Asuka whats happened to you.." Yami Yugi says: "The best thing that could have, the darkness rescued me from the lies of the light". Evil Yuugi says: Manjoume backed away in fear. This wasnt the Asuka he knew following their last duel. Yami Yugi says: "What's the matter?" Asuka chuckled. "You look scared, like you know the darkness is stronger, what's wrong? Scared of the truth?" Evil Yuugi says: "It's not the truth.. Saiou-sama taught us that light is what the world should be enveloped in." Yami Yugi says: "And Yuugi-sama showed me that the darkness is much more powerful than your light, he knows and he's shown me the real truth". Evil Yuugi says: Jun continued backing away. "Saiou-sama..." He whimpered, anguished. Yami Yugi says: "Come on, you know that once you show fear, you've lost. The darkness that Yuugi-sama showed me overpowers your pitiful light, there's nothing you can do quivering in fear". Evil Yuugi says: "Saiou-sama...help me..." Jun whispered. Yami Yugi says: "Quit fighting, you know its useless. Stop running to the others, fight like a man". Evil Yuugi says: (maybe have saiou show up in a few Yami Yugi says: (sure) Evil Yuugi says: Jun didnt move, his loyalty to Saiou far too strong. Yami Yugi says: "Manjoume-kun" Asuka turned her head to see Saiou, the very man that had led to the brightness of the Obelisk dorm, she scowled as he walked towards them calmly. Evil Yuugi says: Manjoume sighed in relief as he saw Saiou approach them. Yami Yugi says: "What's going on?" Saiou asked Manjoume, having picked up instantly on Asuka's altered attire. Evil Yuugi says: "She's lost it, Saiou-sama." Yami Yugi says: "What do you mean? She seems different, but how has she 'lost it'?" Evil Yuugi says: "It's too frightening to describe.." Yami Yugi says: "He's just afraid of the darkness that I've been shown, the darkness that should envelop the world, not the false light". Evil Yuugi says: "See what i mean?" Jun panicked. Yami Yugi says: "What happened to her? What could have caused her to turn to the darkness, that's what must be eliminated in order to purify the world". Evil Yuugi says: "I don't know i got here too late." Yami Yugi says: "Manjoume, I told you. It was the true ruler of the darkness, our idol right from the beginning of being here, even before, the one we all aspired to be like". Evil Yuugi says: "Motou Yuugi?" Saiou asked, curious. Yami Yugi says: "Exactly, Yuugi-sama was the one that showed me the truth". Evil Yuugi says: "What truth?" Yami Yugi says: "That the light is false, the darkness holds the true power". Evil Yuugi says: "But how? What power is this?" Yami Yugi says: "The darkness, it's called the Oracle and its so much more powerful than your light, your lies". Evil Yuugi says: Saiou looked perplexed. Yami Yugi says: "What's the matter? Can't understand that there's another power, one greater than yours? Or is it just you can't accept that? I can show you". Evil Yuugi says: "I dont wish to be tainted by shadows." Yami Yugi says: "Is that what you believe? Obviously you've been blinded by the light, the darkness, this Oracle, it releases the real person inside, the potential one holds, the light is only holding you back". Evil Yuugi says: "Oh really?" Yami Yugi says: "Yes really, that's what Yuugi-sama showed me, he told me, I could see it. He was so po
