The sinister laugh of Anubis echoed through the hall as it trailed off into the darkness.

“What do we do now-Pharaoh?? We have no idea where Anubis is hiding.” Malik pointed out to

Yami.

“I’m not sure” Yami sighed.

Bakura lowered his eyes and glared.

“I can’t just stand around here watching you pretend to think. I must do something. Ryou’s

depending on me.”

Malik gave Bakura a cock-eyed grin

“Since when do you care so much about Ryou?”

“Since.....oh nevermind!” Bakura hissed in reply.

Malik smirked condescendingly as he reached into his cloak.

“There they are...perfect.” he exclaimed.

“There WHAT are?” Bakura questioned him.

“The M&M’s I stole from that goofy bitches car at the show the other night.”

Bakura smiled to himself. Only Malik would be weird enough to steal M&M’s.

“I’ve got it!” Yami suddenly exclaimed.

“Care to share your idea with us?” Malik ask snidely.

Yami turned to Bakura.

“Bakura, summon your highest 4-star monster. We’ll all need the help of our duel monsters if we

are going to reach Anubis.”

Bakura summoned his Vorse Raider, earning him a strange glance from Malik.

“Since when did you have one of those?”

Bakura shrugged his shoulders innocently. Hsn’tsn’t going to share how he acquired the card.

The three of them pressed on through the dimly lit corridor. They could hear the agonized

screams of the ones unfortunate enough to be trapped between life and death as the trudged on.

The screams became louder and louder and they trekked through Anubis’s dominion. The

screams grew louder and louder and the walked cautiously along.

Finally, they reached a vast dismal room.

“I see you have made it through the shadows, but this is where everything stops.” A very dark

voice laughed.

“Anubis, show yourself!” Yami said firmly.

“Yeah! Show yourself ASSHOLE!” Malik added.

“Tsk Tsk, is that anyway to talk to the one that made you? If it wasn’t for me, the three of you

would be burning in eternal hell right now!”

“Blah blah....You are not going to intimidate us.” Bakura hissed.

Anubis chuckled evilly

“After all I have done for you, this is how you repay me? I have given you life after death, and

you still want to destroy me?”

“Let our friends go demon!” Yami growled.

Anubis cleared his throat and belted out laughing. “Your ‘friends’ belong to me now. Fools! The

three of you will go no further, this room is where you shall cease to exist!”

“Not so! We challenge you to a duel! If we defeat you, everybody goes free. If we lose, you can

claim our souls along with everybody else’s.”

After a brief silence, Anubis began to laugh.

“You challenge ME? FOOLS! I am a god! Beating you in a duel is nothing for me!”

“I don’t care if your Queen of England! Let’s just fucking duel, unless of course, you’re scared”

Malik laughed.

“I am not scared. It’s the three of who who should be quaking in your boots!” Anubis scoffed as

he stepped out of the darkness.

“We are not here to discuss private matters Anubis. We are here to stop your senseless

destruction of mankind.” Yami scowled.

“What makes you think I will stop my outlash of evil on them? They have forgotten how

powerful I am and this is their punishment!” Anubis roared.

“Are you going to accept our challenge or not!” Bakura hissed.

“I accept. But this will be a game like no other, even if there are three of you and one of me. In

this shadow game, the monsters will be very real. Any damages beyond your life points will felt

physically. Once your life points are gone, you will cease to exist, and your counterparts in the

mortal realm will become my slaves forever!”

“And when we destroy you, you’ll free everybody and stop your reign of terror.” Yami

elaborated.

“Indeed. No let this duel commence”

Anubis snapped his fingers and life point counters appeared infront of them.

“We’ll go first. Prepare to lose!”

Malik alluded as he stepped forward. He held up a card and great ball of radiant light appeared.

“Great Beast of the sky please hear my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and give us

victory in this fight. Envelop the deserts with your glow and cast your rage upon my foe. Unlock

your power from deep with in so that together we may win.

Appear in this Shadow game as I call your name ......WINGED DRAGON OF RA!”

A great light flashed throughout the room and the great dragon appeared in place of the three

already out.

(I think the authoress has seen the rerun of episode 92 too many times!)

He used the 3 monsters already out as a sacrifice to call forth his favorite monster.

“Hello my pet” he grinned as he turned back to Anubis.

“Now....let’s get this duel started.” Malik laughed.

Anubis glared evilly as he laid a monster face down

Yami followed him up by laying a monster in defense position, than laying a trap.

Anubis snickered as he laid a trap of his own .

Bakura wasted no time in laying a monster in his defense.

Anubis laid another trap card, giving Malik another turn.

“Attack his face down card!” Malik yelled hastily.

Anubis held up his hand

“Stop! Not so fast! You’ve just attacked my Mystic Ash! This monster has the ability to transfer

the attack points of any attacking monster to it’s defense points! My Mystic Ash is unstoppable

now!!!!

“Oh fuck” Malik groaned as Ra clashed with Mystic Ash.

“Not good” Yami groaned as Anubis flipped a card.

“Now you shall feel the power of my dearest beast! Everybody seems to have forgotten about my

precious companion. Ra, Obelisk, and Slifer have over-shadowed him for centuries, but now you

will witness true power! My Nocturnal Demon Set will obliterate you all!”

*******At the hotel*******

“I am getting SO tired. I don’t know how much longer I can keep my eyes open” Tristan

groaned.

“I know, me too” Joey sighed.

“You can’t fall asleep guys! We all have to stay awake! If you fall asleep who knows what’ll

happen!” Yugi vehemently stated.

“We have to think of something to do to stay awake.............I know, let’s go look for Marik and

Caro. Th. They’ve been gone for over 5 hours now.” Tany suggested.

“What if they come back while we’re out looking for them?” Mokuba yawned.

Tany grabbed the note Marik and Caroline had left and picked up a pen.

“We’ll just leave them a note” she grinned.

******Up in the old fire tower*****

“Marik? Can you answer me something?”

“Maybe” he replied as he took in a deep breath of the fresh morning air.

“Is Yami gay?”

Marik just about choked on his tongue.

“I honestly don’t know. Why do you ask?”

Caroline giggled as she lit up a cigarette.

“Well it just seems like it. I never once saw him going after a woman. And you mentioned he

went out with Malik and Bakura over sleeping with Tea. Top that with the way he’s always

gushing over Yugi and it just seems to make sense.”

Marik burst out laughing.

“You do have a point. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Caroline looked at her watch and noticed how much time had gotten away on them.

“Oh shit, we’d better get back to the hotel.”

They climbed down the town and hopped back onto the motorcycle they’d stashed in the bushes.

“I’ll drive this time” Caroline winked as she revved up the engine.

*********Back at Anubis’s***********

“Looks like trouble guys” Malik choked as he looked through the cards in his hand. “ I don’t

have anything strong enough to beat his Nocturnal Demon, and no magic or traps that will

protect us.”

“Just lay something” Bakura growled.

Malik picked out a card and laid it face down in defense position.

Anubis quickly attacked it, sending it to the graveyard.

Yami laid a trap card, and Anubis went in for another attack, this time on Bakura’s monster card.

“HA! Take that you son of a bitch!” Bakura laughed as his Man Eater Bug destroyed Anubis’s

Mystic Ash.

Malik quickly jumped in and went on the attack with his Winged Dragon of Ra.

“Attack his Nocturnal Demon, Ra! Take that fucker!”

Anubis’s demon disintegrated into thin air.

“You might have taken out Set, but my Mystic Ash still is in play! You cannot win!” Anubis

cackled as Bakura laid another card face down.

Anubis grinned evilly as he laid another trap card.

Malik nervously looked over his cards.

“Shit, I’m fucked” he groaned.

Bakura quickly picked up the slack.

“I activate Change of Heart!” he yelled as he flipped the last card he’d put down.

Malik perked up once Bakura activated his trap.

“Ra! Take the crazy son of a bitch out!” he yelled without hesitation.

With Mystic Ash out of the way, Anubis’s life points were left wide open.

Anubis’s life points plummeted down to 1.

“What the hell? You’re life points should be zero!” Malik scowled.

Anubis laughed evilly as he held up his trap card.

“Blessing of the Cursed keeps my life points from ever reaching zero as long as it is on the field!

MUH HAHAHAHA!”

Malik lunged forward without warning and tackled Anubis to the ground.

“Oh fuck you! I’ll just kick your ass myself!” he spat as he began laying multiple punches into

the god.

“MALIK! Are you insane?” Yami yelled.

Bakura looked at Yami with a condescending smirk.

“I think you can answer that yourself” he chuckled.

Malik and Anubis fought viciously, but the god was more powerful than the spirit.

Anubis pinned Malik to the ground and delivered a powerful blow to Malik’s face. Anubis

snapped his fingers and a dagger appeared in his hand.

“Now I shall end it all for you!” He laughed evilly as he brought the dagger down to Malik’s

chest.

“No!” Yami screamed as he lunged forward at Anubis. The dagger ended up just breaking the

skin above where Malik’s heart would be before Yami reached them. Yami slapped the weapon

out of Anubis’s hand, sending it flying across the room. Yami took over for Malik in the struggle

with the god.

Bakura rushed to Malik to see how he was fairing.

“Malik? Are you okay?” Bakura asked as he observed blood trickling from the wound on

Malik’s chest.

“Just peachy” Malik sarcastically growled as he sat up and dusted himself off.

Bakura nodded and looked back at Yami, who was no match for the god.

“You feel up to helping Yami out?”

Malik took a deep breath and glared.

“I feel up to killing Anubis!” He hissed as he got to his feet. Malik quickly jumped back into the

scuffle with Anubis.

****infront of the hotel****

“Hey look, Isn’t that them on that motorcycle?” Joey pointed out to everybody.

“Yeah, I think so” Mokuba replied as Marik and Caroline pulled up infront of the hotel.

“Hey peeps, what’cha doing out here?” Caroline grinned as she stepped off the bike.

“We were going to go look for you two. Where the hell have you been!” Tany scolded them.

“And where’d you get that bike!” Tristan exclaimed.

Caroline looked back at Marik and grinned.

“It’s mine. I had a friend drop it off yesterday.”

Marik shook his head and smiled sheepishly back at her.

“Woman.....you blow my mind” he chuckled as they all walked back up to their suite. As they got

to the door, Marik suddenly grabbed his chest and fell to his knees.

“Marik!” Caroline gasp.

Marik took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

“I’m fine, it just felt like somebody was stabbing me for a second. Let’s go watch some tv”

******Back in the Shadows******

The moans and cries from the enslaved mortals echoed through the dark room as the fight

ensued. Bakura could barely see in all the darkness, but he knew Anubis’s prisoners were being

held in a vast holding cell of horrors very nearby.

Bakura remembered seeing a set of keys hanging on the wall behind Anubis’s throne, so he

called upon the power of his Millennium ring to provide him enough light to find them.

“OOF!” he winced as he tripped over one of Anubis’s statues.

“Stupid thing” he growled as he limped over to the keys.

*****at the hotel******

“OWE! What in the bloody hell?” Ryou whined as he rubbed his ankle.

“What’s wrong dude?” Tristan ask.

“My fucking ankle, it hurts like a bitch for no fucking reason” Ryou replied.

“Need some ice?” Tany ask him.

“No, I think I’ll be fine.” he sighed.

Ryou flipped the channel to a station that played music videos. A list of the top 10 songs in the

country popped onto the screen.

“Holy shit! Look at that! Our song is #2!” Duke exclaimed as he scootched closer to the

television.

******Anubis’s realm*****

Anubis was busy fending off Yami and Malik, so Bakura seized his opportunity and quickly

grabbed the keys. He made his way to the large stone door that the cries of desperation were

emitting.

Once Bakura turned the key, all of the people who had fallen victim to Anubis’s evil plot were

released back into the world where they belonged.

Yami and Malik quickly yanked an exhausted Anubis to the cell and locked him safely inside.

“NOOOOOOOOO!” Anubis screamed as they secured him inside the eternal prison.

“There. We did it” Yami proclaimed.

Bakura nodded his head.

“Yes, we did. Can we get out of here now? I’m fucking starved.”

“Yes, Lets go.” Yami replied.

Malik started rummaging around the pockets of his cloak again.

“Hang on, I have to find something”

“Please don’t tell me you have more food stashed in that thing” Yami groaned.

“Ha! There it is!” Marik smiled brightly as he pulled out a pack of gummie worms.

“Oh for Ra’s Sake” Yami sighed.

In order to get back home, they had to go through the Shadow Realm again. They made it

through with flying colors and re-appeared in the park across from the hotel. Malik tossed his

empty gummi worm bag on the ground and smiled.

“Let’s go see how everybody is” he said as he started sprinting across the street. Bakura took off

after him.

“Hey! Wait up Ishtar!”

Yami rolled his eyes. He picked up the empty bag Malik had thrown on the ground and tossed it

into a garbage can before calmly walking into the hotel.

“Marik! Where the fuck are you!” Malik yelled loudly as he pounded on the door of their old

hotel room door.

“Ryou! Open up you dimwit!” Bakura hissed. “I’ll kick this damned door down in 5 seconds if

you do not answer me!”

1........2...........3.........4.........5! Ready or not, here goes!” Bakura warned right before forcefully

kicking the door down.

“Nice shot” Malik added as they walked into the dark empty room. “Uh......Marik? Ryou? You

here?”

“Hey, where in the hell are you guys?” Bakura ask out loud as he tore the sheets off the bed.

“You in here?” Malik as has he looked in the bathroom.

They continued ransacking the room in search of their lights until they were disrupted by a voice

coming from the doorway.

“Excuse sirs, but may I ask what you are doing!” a petite hotel maid exclaimed as she observed

their destruction.

“Piss off lady, we’re looking for our lights!” Bakura hissed at her rudely.

“This room has been vacated, and I am going to report the two of you to my superiors for

destroying it!

“Go to hell” Bakura sneered.

“You will do no such thing bitch!” Malik scowled as he pulled his Millennium rod out of his belt

loop.

“A trip to the shadow realm will shut you up!” He glared as he began calling up its shadow

powers.

“NO! Malik, STOP!” Yami quickly interrupted.

Malik lowered his rod and stopped his spell.

“What now -pharaoh-? This daft bitch is getting in our way! We cannot find Ryou or Marik!”

Yami sighed as he put his arm around the frightened maid.

“I am sorry miss. My cohorts are mentally ill and have troubles controlling themselves at times.

We’ll pay for the damages.” Yami said calmly.

The woman ran off terrified down the haleavleaving Yami standing in the doorway with his hands

on his hips.

“Where are our lights! Anubis must have them! I don’t know how, but I’m sure he did something

here!” Malik screamed.

Yami shook his head and crossed his arms.

“Guys? I suggest you ‘chill out’ as Yugi would say. Our lights are fine. Follow me.”

Malik and Bakura followed Yami into the elevator. Yami pushed the button that took them to the

top floor.

“Where are you taking us!” Bakura scowled at Yami.

“Just relax.” Yami groaned as the elevator doors opened.

“This better not be a trap!” Malik hissed.

Yami was starting too lose his temper.

“Would the two of you just shut the fuck up!” he yelled as they approached the door to the suite.

Bakura and Malik backed off. The pharaoh wasn’t known to swear, so they knew they better be

quiet when he did.

Yami knocked on the door.

“Who’s room is this?” Malik ask curiously.

Yami looked back at him and rolled his eyes.

“It’s your mother’s room”

“Hmph! Rude pharaoh” Malik retorted.

Footsteps could be heard coming to the door as it opened a crack.

“Yami?” a small voice came from inside.

“Yugi” Yami smiled as his light opened the door and let them all inside.

“Hey, looks who’s back gang!” Yugi exclaimed as he lead the trio into the livingroom.

“BAKURA!” Ryou exclaimed as he threw himself into his dark’s arms. Tears began streaming

down his cheeks.

“I thought I’d never see you again!” Ryou whimpered into Bakura’s chest.

Bakura stood idly looking down at his light.

“Ryou? What are you doing?”

Ryou looked up at Bakura and pulled himself together.

“Sorry Bakura” he mumbled.

Bakura cast a strange look at his light and proceeded to sit next to Tany.

“Hey sexy” he grinned mischievously as he ran his hand over her leg.

Marik slapped his dark a congratulatory high five.

“You did it” he smiled.

Malik nodded proudly. “Did you doubt me?” he grinned.

“Can we go get something to eat now?” Bakura interrupted

“Yes. That sounds like a good idea” Yami smiled as he held Yugi close to him.

Marik grinned and gently shook Caroline.

“Hey, I think you’re right” he whispered in her ear.

Caroline opened her eyes and noticed how affectionate Yami was being with his light.

“Told ya” she giggled.

“I think I’ll just stay here while you all go out for food. I need to catch up on some lost sleep”

Duke yawned.

“Me too.” Joey agreed.

“That’s fine. Somebody needs to stay with Mokuba anyway.” Yami nodded.

“I’m going to go look for Tea, Kaiba and Odeon” Tristan offered as he headed out.

“Hurry up people! I need food!” Bakura growled as he stormed out the door.

Bakura, Ryou, Tany, Malik, Marik, Caroline, Yami and Yugi crowded into the elevator.

“Hey! Quit feeling up my ass mibun* pharaoh!” Bakura hissed at Yami, who had mistaken his butt for Yugi’s.

The elevator doors opened and the 8 of them stepped out into the lobby. There was alot of

commotion coming from the front desk area, where a large crowd of people were gathered around yelling.

“What in the bloody hell is going on over there?” Ryou ask as they walked past.
