Lost Souls

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter Ten Review)
Yami's body is flickering with light and dark. It's almost like Yuugi can see the war between them. He sniffs, tears falling, and hugs Yami's body. Yuugi then gasps in surprise as the realization that he can't feel Yami's pulse hits him.

"YAMI!!" screams Yuugi awakening Latana, The Dark Magician, and outside the puzzle, Usagi, Mamoru, Anzu, Honda, Jounouchi, and Bakura.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Immediately, Usagi, Mamoru, Anzu, Honda, Jounouchi, and Bakura appear in the Millennuim Puzzle as Yuugi screams Yami's name again. Usagi runs up and feels for Yami's pulse. She pales and tries again to no avail.

"He's dead." says Usagi crying. Yuugi looks at her in disbelief before tears start falling. He falls down on Yami's chest and sobs. The Dark Magician uses it's magic to build a wall around them that only Yuugi, himself, or Usagi can enter or leave. The wall will disappear when Yami either comes back alive or Yuugi dies. The wall pushes Mamoru, Anzu, Honda, Jounouchi, and Bakura out from around the bed. Latana runs up and gets pushed back by the wall. Understanding dawning on her, she nods her agreement to the Dark Magician. He smiles forlonly as Usagi walks out from behind the wall, walks over to Mamoru, and hugs him, sobbing. Yuugi has, by now, cried himself to sleep.

"Poor Yuugi." whispers Anzu crying. She turns to Bakura, who wraps his arms around her comfortinondaonda and Jounouchi are holding each other, crying silently for the two who will never be together. An idea forms in Latana's mind.

"Hime, what about the Egyptian Crystal?" asks Latana.

"It won't work. One, I have no clue where it is, Two, you need to find the Wielder of the Egyptian Crystal, and it could be someone who isn't a Senshi." says Usagi.

"Bugger." says Jounouchi. "And I bet our guardian animals couldn't help."

"Nope. Hikaru, Latana, Windsong, Lighting, Sky Death, and Light Hawk are only here to watch over you and awaken your powers, that's it. Hikaru is here because Yuugi is Yami's love." says Usagi easily lying about Yuugi. Mamoru notices this, but doesn't say a word otherwise.

"We should go." says Anzu. "Tell Jiisan what happened. He is Yuugi's grandfather after all and he knows of Yami."

"No." says Usagi fiercely. "You would then have to explain the Silver Millennuim and we don't explain it to innocents, as they wouldn't grasp the concept."

"Then what do you suggest we do?!" snarls Anzu.

"Let him be." says Usagi. "Just let Yuugi be. He'll be deep in depression and I have a feeling that the only thing that can revive him will be his own will to survive, or the slim chance Yami will come back to life."

Nodding this agreement, Anzu, Honda, Bakura, and Jounouchi leave the puzzle, followed by Mamoru and Usagi, leaving the Dark Magician and Latana to watch over Yuugi. They leave the room, as the Millennuim Puzzle is a two part room. One for Yami and One for the Duel Monsters.

Somewhere, between life and death, Yuugi floats, dressed in a long flowing navy blue robe, that is longer than he is. His hair, where it is normally blonde, is navy wit with silver sparkles in it. His purple eyes, normally vivid with life, are dull with despair. Ahead of him is white light and black light, warring against each other. Yuugi sees this and growls. Because of Yami's power as the King Of Games and his power as the Moon Prince warring against each other, he has lost Yami, maybe for forever.

"STOP IT!! STOP FIGHTING!!" yells Yuugi at the warring black and white. To his amazement, the lights obey. The lights float over to him, and to his surprise, Yuugi sees the outline of himself in the white light and the outline of Yami in the black light. The outline of himself becomes more solid and soon, despite the fact the copy is all white, Yuugi is staring at himself. The same with the black light, except he is staring into a carbon copy of Yami.

"Why are you fighting?" asks Yuugi, eyes filling with tears at seeing the black Yami.

"Light and Darkness always fight. It's how it was when the Universe was formed and it is how it will be until the Universe is destroyed." says the Black Yami, eerily sounding like Yami.

"Until the Universe is destroyed, Light and Darkness will fight, never stopping." says the White Yuugi, sounding like him.

"Wrong." says Yuugi glaring at the White Yuugi and Black Yami. "You both are wrong! Because of it, I lost my love!"

"He should not have come into his powers as the Moon Prince than." says Black Yami, voice cold.

"He did it to save me!" snarls Yuugi back.

"You jest." says White Yuugi.

"No." says Yuugi. His tears have yet to spill, and Yuugi congratulates himself on that fact.

"He does not jest." says an angelic voice, one that Yuugi knows sounds familiar. White Yuugi and Black Yami kneel as a lavender light comes close to them. Yuugi is confused. As the light gets closer, a human starts to appear. When the light is right in front of them, Yuugi gasps. A female, one that so closely resembles Usagi it's scary, is floating in front of them. She is the size of a fairy and has long lavender hair in odangoes and wearing a white dress with a white bow on the front. A yellow crescent moon is on the bow and a yellow crescent moon is on her forehead. Two beads are on either side of the crescent moon on her forehead. She has lavender eyes filled with caring.

"My Queen." says White Yuugi and Black Yami as one. She smiles at them before looking up at Yuugi.

"You, you are the reincarnation of King Apollo of the Moon." says the female.

"King Apollo? I'm confused. Apollo was the God of the Sun in greek mythology." says Yuugi.

"Yes he was, but in reality, Apollo is the founder of the Silver Millennuim as was his husband, King Horus." says the female.

"Horus was an Egyptian God." says Yuugi, now really confused.

"Yes he was. When Beryl attacked, that caused the Earth to spilt and the gods and goddess were confused and labeled for wrong things. Apollo was really the God of the Moon, and Serene was the Goddess of the Sun. However, these were confused when Beryl destroyed my kingdom, which had me send my daughter and her court to the future. My son and his court were on a planet named Tela. When they arrived, I was already dead and so, Saturn, dropped her Silence Glaive and the Silver Millennuim was destroyed, everyone reborn, even my son and his court." says the female.

"Your Queen Serenity!" says Yuugi.

"Yes." says the female smiling.

"Which makes Yami your son and Usagi your daughter." says Yuugi.

"Yes, and you, dear Yuugi, are the Prince of Uranus." says Serenity.

"How? I'm not important in the grand scheme of things." whispers Yuugi.

"Don't." says Serenity angrily. This causes Yuugi to look at her shocked. In all his memories, even the one where Beryl destroyed the Silver Millennuim, he never heard Serenity use anger in her voice.

"She is right." says Setsuna as she walks up. Yuugi is in shock, as Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, and Michiru appear floating around him, especially since they barely know him and are Usagi's guardians. Serenity smiles again, knowing his conflict.

"Yuugi, you are not worthless. You are important. Your love can bring Prince Yami back to life, if you believe." says Rei.

"My brother, you could never be worthless. You are the Prince of Uranus, and I will not let you feel sorry for yourself." says Haruka.

"With a sister like Haruka, how can you NOT be important?" asks Minako.

"You barely know me, all of you." says Yuugi.

"Wrong. We remember, everything, that happened during the Silver Millennuim, and it is about time you do too." says Makoto.

"Yuugi, I can only offer this once. Do you want to remember your life during the Silver Millennuim? If you say no, I cannot offer it agand and all your memories that you have been dreaming about will never surface again. Those you have been dreaming about will disappear, as will your knowledge of the Silver Millennuim, the Senshi's identities, and your friend's seperate identities as the Silver Senshi." says Setsuna. A nagging question finally makes itself known to Yuugi.

"How can you all be here?! You were captured by Poppers!" says Yuugi.

"Our bodies, yes. Our spirits, however, will rest here until our bodies are saved by Usagi and you and your senshi. If you choose to remember, that is." says Ami.

"You mean until we save you, you will be trapped here?!" says Yuugi.

"No, Prince Yuugi, they will not. Should you not remember, I, myself, will have the Council free them from Imation and they will reappear on Earth." says Serenity.

"Imation?" asks Yuugi.

"The name of your enemy is Queen Imation. She is after the Planet Crystal." says Michiru.

"But it's fake. Usagi said so." says Yuugi.

"Yes it is, but they, by now, have figured that out and are now after the Egyptian Crystal. They will find it too." says Setsuna.

"Where is it?" asks Yuugi.

"We really don't know. Neither does Imation, but she will send her minions out to kill innocents unless they are given the Silver Crystal. Yuugi, should my daughter decide to give them the Silver Crystal, and you are with her when she hands it over, take it, and whatever you do, do not hand it over to anyone, unless I myself tell you too. If Usagi and the Silver Senshi try to get it back, enlist the aid of your Duel Monsters. You have my permission to do this too." says Serenity.

"Yuugi, one last time, do you want to remember?" asks Setsuna.

"Yes." says Yuugi, voice and eyes determined. "I want to remember EVERYTHING."

"As you will it, so mote it be." says Setsuna holding up her Time Staff. It glow garnet and memories fly through Yuugi's brain. The time when he was reunited with his family, the time he admitted to Yami he loved him, the time when he and Yami first made love, his secret that he never got to tell Yami, and their deaths at the hand of Saturn, along with memories of his life on Mars as a servant, his memories of living on the Moon with Yami and Serenity, his first ball to be reintroduced to the Silver Millennuim, and, to Yuugi's absolute joy, the location of the Egyptian Crystal.

"I know where the Egyptian Crystal is." says Yuugi breathless. He doesn't reveal it however. Black Yami and White Yuugi grin at each other before leaping for Yuugi, intent on killing him.

"STOP!" yells Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako. They can't do anything, because, for some reason, they cannot use their powers. Yuugi sees them and ducks, narrowly being missed.

"Moon Light Blast!" yells Serenity. Her Crescent Moons light up and the two beams form a ball in front of her. She grabs it and throws it at Black Yami and White Yuugi, however, it never touches them.

"This is Yami's Life/Death realm, and as he is dead, your insignificant powers won't work." says Black Yami turning into a Popper as does the White Yuugi. They smile at each other lovingly before turning their attention on Yuugi. Understanding then dawns on Yuugi.

"You killed Yami!" says Yuugi.

"A day too late and a hour too short, but yes, we did." says the White Popper, hand in the Black Popper's.

"Why?!" snarls Yuugi. Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna are confused. If Setsuna's memory powers worked here, why won't theirs work?

"Without him, you can never win!" laughs the Black Popper. "DARKNESS BLAST!!"

"YUUGI!!" yells Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, and Queen Serenity, knowing Yuugi cannot survive an attack of pure darkness, as his powers come from light.

"SILVER MOON ELECTRIC ENERGY BLAST!!" yells an very familiar voice. Silver light races past Yuugi and intercepts the Darkness attack, blasting it to oblivion.

"Who the?!" snarls the White Popper, moving Black Popper behind him/her. Yuugi recognizes the attack and voice, but barely hopes to dare.

"With the Blessings of the Moon, the planet of Sanctity, I am the one who will bring your demise, I am Moon Warrior!" yells the voice as Yami appears infront of Yuugi, as Moon Warrior, without the mask though.

"Your dead!" says Black Popper in shock.

"As you yourself said, this is MY life/death realm." says Yami coldly. "And since I have returned, and since I believe in them, my sister's guardians can now use their powers."

"Yes!" says Rei pulling out her pink/red pen given to her by Pegusus. However, is changes immediately into a red ruby heart with the Mars Insignia in it. The same thing happens to Ami, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna.

"What's going on?" asks Ami as hers glows blue. Rei's glows red, Makoto's glows green, Minako's glows topaz, Haruka's glows navy blue, Michiru's glows aquamarine, and Setsuna's glows maroon.

"By your desire to save Yuugi, even though you couldn't do anything, your dormant powers awoken, and your transformation devices are now at their final stage. The Cosmos Stage." says Serenity.

"Transform!" says Ami grabbing her blue sapphire heart. "MERCURY COSMOS POWER MAKEUP!!"

"MARS COSMOS POWER MAKEUP!!"

"JUPITER COSMOS POWER MAKEUP!!"

"VENUS COSMOS POWER MAKEUP!!"

"URANUS COSMOS POWER MAKEUP!!"

"NEPTUNE COSMOS POWER MAKEUP!!"

"PLUTO COSMOS POWER MAKEUP!!"

They transform and when they are done, they are in their Cosmos fukus. All look exactly like Sailor Cosmos's (1), but, instead of being white with one a rainbow of colors on the skirt, theirs are in their respective colors. Ami's is blue, Rei's is red, Makoto's is green, Minako's is topaz, to everyone's surprise, Haruka's is navy blue, Michiru's is aquamarine, and Setsuna's is maroon.

"Wow." says Minako, looking at hers.

"No!" yells White Popper.

"Oh yes!" says Makoto. "Sailor Cosmos Jupiter has arrived!!"

"Sailor Cosmos Mercury!"

"Sailor Cosmos Mars!"

"Sailor Cosmos Venus!"

"Sailor Cosmos Uranus!"

"Sailor Cosmos Neptune!"

"And I am Sailor Cosmos Pluto! We will put you back where you belong!" snarls Setsuna.

"Mercury Water Cadusus Tornado!!!" yells Ami. Water appears around Ami as she twirls around. The Water forms a tornado in the shape of a Cadusus. The Mercury Insignia appears on the Tornado. The Tornado then flies, faster than the speed of light, toward the poppers, causing them to fall down, half-dead.

"Go Ami!" says Makoto smiling.

“Mars Fire Snake Arrow!!” yells Rei. The arrow glows in Rei’s hand as she does her ‘Flame Sniper’ pose. The arrow then turns into a snake of fire. Rei twirls as the Snake Arrow surrounds her body like Minako’s Love-Me Chain. Rei then stops twirling and the Mars Insignia appears and glows in Rei’s hand. She fires the arrow and disintergrates the White Popper into white dust.

"KOI!" screams the Black Popper as he, she, it, grabs at the white dust. He/She/It then turns to Rei, anger evident in it's eyes.

“Jupiter Thunder Oak Dragon!!” yells Makoto. She twirls as oak leaves surround her body. The oak leaves crackle with thunder. Makoto stops twirling and the Jupiter Insignia glows on her forehead. The oak leaves then form a dragon, and fly out toward Black Popper, disintergrating it into black dust. Wind comes from nowhere, mixing the two dusts together as it flies to where ever dust goes.

"We can win this!" says Minako.

"If you stay toget Now Now, I must bid you farewell." says Serenity before disappearing. Yuugi, not sure if Yami is an illusion or not, runs to him, and to his relief, Yami is solid. He hugs Yami as the Inners and Outers disappear, leaving the two in their own world. Yami detransforms and hugs Yuugi back. Yuugi is crying, wishing that Yami could be alive again.

"Yuugi, before I leave for good to go stay with my mother, I must tell you something." says Yami.

"I have to too." says Yuugi.

"Ai Shiteru, Yuugi." whispers Yami.

"Ai Shiteru Yami." says Yuugi, before grabbing Yami and kissing him. Yami kisses back and they stay like that, two lovers ignoring the outside world. Yuugi is reveling in the fact that Yami loves him and Yami is reveling in the fact that Yuugi loves him. Breaking the kiss because of lack of oxygen, Yuugi cries out in alarm as Yami starts to disappear.

"I must go koi." says Yami sadly.

"No!" says Yuugi grabbing Yami. "I'm not losing you again!!!"

Somewhere, in the very core of the Moon Castle on the Moon, a bright navy blue and silver beam appears, going up and up until it encircles Miranda Castle on Uranus. The beam then travels toward Earth and encircles the Millennuim Puzzle. The light, however, is only seen by those who come from the Silver Millennuim, which means everyone on Earth sees it, but can't tell where it's from or where it is heading.
Now, these three beams form a triangle, and in the middle of the triangle, in space, between Jupiter and Saturn, a navy blue and silver crystal appears, about the size of the Silver Imperium Crystal. It disappears along with the beams of light.

Yuugi continues to grab Yami, even though it is becoming fruitless. Yami is repeating over and over again that he loves Yuugi and Yuugi is doing the same. Between them, suddenly, the navy blue and silver crystal appears, causing Yami and Yuugi both to disappear, as does the crystal.

Yuugi then wakes up, startled. Sitting up, he starts crying happily, as he can feel Yami's pulse and Yami is awake and looking at him. The navy blue and silver crystal is floating between them. Latana and the Dark Magician aren't in the room, and Yuugi wonders where they went. Yami, however, grabs the crystal.

"That's the Egyptian Crystal." says Yuugi as Yami hands it to him. "Only a male can wield it."

"I have a feeling we caused to to appear, koi." says Yami.

"Yeah." says Yuugi before kissing Yami fleetingly. The alarms then go off and the Dark Magician and Latana run in as Yami and Yuugi get out of the bed.

"YAMI!" says Latana in shock.

"I'm alive. Now what's going on?" asks Yami.

"Attack on people at the Azubu Juuban High School." says the Dark Magician, not questioning Yami's return. Yami nods.

"MOON SILVER DIAMOND POWER TRANSFORM!" yells Yami. He becomes Moon Warrior.

"I thought his dark and light powers were warri say says Latana.

"Not anymore. I stopped it." says Yuugi. Latana then notices the Egyptian Crystal and gasps in shock. Yami then grabs Yuugi's hand.

"Ready koi?" asks Yami.

"Let's go." says Yuugi.

~*~*~*To Be Continued*~*~*~
