Chapter Three

Roland called Bakura and let him know about Seto getting one of Joey’s fingers in a package with a note and it caused the Yami to let out the loudest growl and then he told Roland.

“Let Seto know that it has just become a personal battle and since Arkana wanted a War, we’ll give him one. Tell Seto that we’ll soon know where Joey is and I promise that we’ll bring him home soon.”

Roland knew that what Bakura said and that soon a major battle was about to take place. He went to tell Seto what Bakura said and even if it did mean that Joey was going to be saved, Seto knew that others might lose their lives going into this battle.

Bakura told Marik and Yami what Roland called and told him and Marik said, “It’s time to visit a few old friends and bring them here to help fight Arkana.” Then he started chanting and then both Yami and Bakura joined him and soon a portal to the Shadow Realm opened and they entered the shadows.

As they walked through the shadows, they finally found the one creature they were looking for and when Myju heard what Marik had to say, he agreed to go back and fight to end Arkana’s evil reign. Then with Myju leading the way they went to find Ltop and he also agreed to help. Then all of a sudden, the news that they were in the shadows and soon they had a visit from Kroh who was like the elder creature here and he wanted to know why they were there.

Yami then explained how Arkana was trying to take over in Domino and how he had one of their friends and they were torturing him to get what that evil bastard wanted.

When Kroh heard the name of Arkana he got huge and let out a horrible scream, then he started chanting, and soon there were seven other creatures will to go back and help them stop Arkana.

“We will help you, but you must agree to allow us to bring Arkana and who ever are with him back here to be sentenced to death for all the things he has done to some of the creatures and demons that dwell in the shadows.”

Marik, Bakura and even Yami agreed and then Kroh said, “We are to do as these three Yami’s say and if anyone doesn’t abide with their rules will answer to me and I will make your time in the shadows even more devilish then it already is.”

Back at the abandoned house:

Arkana walked into the room where Joey was hanging, he made him wake up, and as Joey opened his eyes, he started screaming from the pain of losing his finger. He never felt it when Mimic of Doom cut it off but now he felt the horrible pain. “What have you done to me know?” Joey screamed.

Arkana laughed and he said, “Well if your friends don’t come through with my demands then we will cut off another part of your body and send to them. They have one day to comply with my demands so if I were you I start praying that they do just that.”

Joey started laughing, that caused Arkana to stare at him, and he then said, “Why are you laughing when you should be begging me not to harm you again.”

Joey then said, “My friends won’t let you get away with whatever you’re trying to do even if you kill me it won’t make them do what you want.”

Just then Joey heard a very sinister voice and it said “Well then I will love cutting your body into pieces and sending them to the one person who has the ability to save you. That would be Seto Kaiba. He already has your finger and I bet that he’s doing exactly as Arkana wants this very minute.” Then he walked over and using shadow magic, he caused Joey to fall asleep and have horrible nightmares of what he would do to him if no one came through.

Back in the Shadow Realm:

Marik stood beside the other two Yami’s and he said “We know that Arkana has Panik, Bonz, Satake and Takaido working for him but we also know that he’s waiting for someone else and that person is the one we need to find out who it is.”

Then one of the lesser creatures started shaking and then he started changing colors and that’s when Kroh said, “I think that Ogur has figured who is the other person that is helping Arkana.” Then Ogur settled down and with tears in his eyes, he said, “It’s The Death Imitator and he’s doing bad things to this Joey.”

Bakura then said, “We really need to figure out where they are holding Joey so that we can get him the hell out of there before they do anything else to him.” Ogur said, “There is an old house near the factory, that’s where they have this Joey.”

Yami then opened his link with Yugi and told him to tell Roland where they think Joey is being held and for him to get some men and get over there before they do anything else to Joey.”

So as Yugi was telling Roland what Yami said, Bakura, Marik and Yami then went with the creatures from the Shadow Realm to intercept Arkana and his legion and hoped that they would be strong enough to stop them from completing his reign of terror.

As they, left the portal and back into Domino, they knew that Arkana was going to try to attack the Manor to get the machine. So Yami told Kroh that he and the other creatures needed to use their shadow magic to make a invisible shield to help keep Arkana and the others out till they were able to get there and maybe just maybe they would be able to stop this from getting so out of hand and innocent people could get hurt.

So as Kroh and the others put up the shield, Yami, Bakura and Marik got near enough to try some of their own magic to stop Arkana and the others from attempting to try to take over the Manor. As they all got into position Arkana and Mimic of Doom used their magic to attempt to take down the shield, that’s when the others attacked them, and the battle raged on.

Inside the Manor:

Yugi, Ryou and Malik all knew that something big was going on outside the walls of the Manor but what it really was, well they didn’t really know. In a way, it was good that they didn’t know because it would have scared the hell out of them. Seto sat in the chair and prayed that Joey would be alright and that somehow he would be brought back home before anything could happen to him, then maybe he would had the chance to tell him exactly how he feels about him.

As Yami and the others got near the Manor, they could hear the sounds of Arkana and Mimic of Doom trying to get through the barrier and they hurried until they were close enough to start battling them. Kroh turned to Bakura and he said, “Don’t bring out Diabound because he would only hinder us in doing what we have to do to stop them.”

Bakura reassured Kroh that he had never even thought of that, and then all of a sudden the creatures from the shadows started changing, Myju went first and he became half demon/half two-headed dog, then Ltop went next and he changed into half demon/half eagle.

Then Ogur changed into half demon/half lizard and finally Kroh changed and he turned into half demon/half dragon and as he roared orders out to the others Arkana turned to see, what was happening and he shouted out “We have company!”

Mimic of Doom then looked behind him and when he saw what was coming their way he started using some of his most powerful spells and some of them worked and they struck the demons and it did some damage but they kept coming.

Bakura, Marik and Yami all used some shadow magic of their own and helped take down Panik, Bonz, and Satake.

Takaido fell then Yami ran to the Manor and using magic he was able to go through the barrier and he hurried into the Manor to make sure that everyone was all right then he told Roland where Joey was and told him to take some men and go there and bring him home.

With Yami’s help, they were able to leave the Manor and Roland raced to the abandoned house to get Joey.

When they got there, Joey was still unconscious and in bad shape. They got him down and carefully put him in the car and Roland then raced to the Hospital to get him the medical care he so desperately needed.

The battle raged on and then they got the break they needed. Arkana’s strength was fading and that’s all it took for Kroh to order them to use every ounce of their magic to blast Arkana and Mimic of Doom and they took them down.

When it was all over, the shadow creatures changed back and as Yami, Bakura and Marik were thanking them.

They had Arkana and Mimic of Doom tied in bonds of shadow magic and they left with them and as they entered the portal to the Shadow Realm, Kroh turned to the Yami’s and he said, “That was more fun then we’ve had in a very long time.

Then he said “Yami, use your magic to bring Joey out of the trance, it will take a long time for him to recover but he will.” Then they were gone.

The barrier came down and as Yami, Bakura and Marik raced into the Manor their lights were racing outside and they all held each other and tears ran down their faces. Seto stood there and then Marik said, “We have to get to the Hospital, and Yami you need to bring him back to the living.”

As they raced to the Hospital, Seto ran into the room where Joey laid and he fell to his knees and started praying that God would bring Joey back to him.

Yami stood beside the bed and he started chanting and soon Joey opened his eyes and when he saw his friends standing around him he started to cry “Is it really over?”

Seto stood up and he said, “Yes, it’s over and now I have to say something to you that I should have said a long time ago. Joey I love you and want you to spend the rest of your life with me.”

Joey had tears running down his face as he whispered “I love you too, but what about what has happened to me I’m not whole anymore. I want to stay with you but how can you want me after what they did to me?”

They others left the room and gave them their privacy to talk about things and that’s when Seto told him “Listen I love you and don’t give a damn I want to be with you for the rest of our lives and if you’ll have me I want to marry you.”

Joey then reached up with his good hand, he touched the side of Seto’s face, and he said, “I accept your proposal and I want to spend the rest of our lives together.”

They doctor then came in and he told Joey that if everything goes all right then in three day you could go home. I know that is the love of your friends and this very special young man that has made you want to get better, just keep it up and I’ll come back later and see how you’re doing.”

When the doctor came back, Seto was still there and he told the doctor “I’m not leaving here till Joey is discharged.” The doctor smiled and said, “That’s fine with me and he’s a very lucky young man to have so many people caring about him.” He then walked out of the room.

Joey was discharged in three days and Roland drove them to the Manor where all of their friends were waiting to throw Joey a Welcome Home Party and it was the happiest time in Joey’s life.

He has finally come home to someone who loves and cares for him. Seto and Joey were married in a very private ceremony with only their friends in attendance and as he kissed Seto, he said a silent prayer to thank not only God but also everyone who fought to save him.
