His body ached. Blood was smeared everywhere as he saw the world around him was filled with destruction. Priestess Isis's vision came true, everything she had described was right here and he hoped that at least the tomb was halfway finished for the next time he would return.

Atem glanced up with whatever energy he had left up at the darkness of Zork, towering over him was laughing with pure pleasure as he enjoyed seeing his pain. He clenched his fists in annoyance as he didn't want to retreat.

'It's the only way…you must do it!' he closed his eyes as he peered down at the cartouche with his name engraved on it and thought of one person as he looked down at it. "…My Queen…"

Slowly, he thought of his dead-born child that he never had a chance to hold or embrace, his father whom he barely shared anything personal thoughts with, Mahado and Mana who were now lying near him dead, and slowly he turned his head around to look at Priest Seto. The man nodded his head and then Atem knew what he must do next, but took a second longer to think about one more person…

'If I could've…done more for her…' he thought, 'If only I could've push aside the resentment I felt towards her…maybe, she would still be alive with me to give me hope as I was to her…' Then he thought about how Mahado was closer to her than Atem would ever been in this life time, how good a friend he was to her and yet he wished he had her love instead…

"ENOUGH ZORK!" Atem bellowed from the top of his lungs as he was able to find strength to stand up again. He took the golden pendant around his neck and rose it high shouting to the gigantic monster above him, "It's time to banish you away!"

He closed his eyes and concentrated at the darkness around him as he thought, 'Might as well get used to it, for who knows how long I'll be seeing it.' He focused on whatever dark magic he had left inside of him to focus on the Sennen item.

'Father…I'm sorry, I tried being the best Pharaoh I could, just like you.'

"AH! What are you dong Pharaoh?!" Zork wailed as unimaginable bright light from the pendant blinded his vision.

'My friends and companions, I failed you but I will come back to avenge you all!"

The creature of darkness roared loudly as slowly the light was eating him away and soon, the magic was taking its toll. He was being sucked into the pendant and Priest Seto was getting ready with the golden box in his hands, shielding himself from the impact the pendant was creating.

'As for my Queen…' Atem thought as he could feel the job was almost done. All he would need to do was sacrifice his soul in order to trap Zork away forever and it would be over. '…I know…I never said it to you and I was never sure if you interpreted through my actions or feelings, but despite we hardly had time to ourselves until this past year, I just wanted to finally say that I…'

Zork's screaming was slowly dying as he became little white particles and was being absorbed into the pendant. Now it was Atem's turn to give himself up as he focused on giving in his Ka. He had to admit, he felt himself getting weaker as well as blacking out. He hoped that where ever she was that she could hear his distant thoughts.

When the world around him was nothing left but of white light as he felt his soul being lifted up as he arched his back up at the purple sky above him as he shouted, "VANESSA!"

And with that, the pendant broke into thousands of tiny bits. Earth was spared.
