Sorry that it's taken so long. I have a time writing the battle chapters. Sometimes, it takes a while to get the battles to work out the way I want them. Amyway, here's the battle with the elites.

Chapter 10- The Power of Life

Yugi blocked Manson's sword with his Sai and forced Manson's sword up. He ducked as Mace swung his sword at him and then flipped back out of the way of the path of Marc's sword. Matrix and Mirage both swung at Yugi, but Yugi used each Sai to block the swords before Yugi jumped up and turned around in midair to kick Matrix in the chest before turning to punch Mirage in the face. Manson, Mace, and Marc all ran at Yugi. Manson brought his sword down at Yugi, but Yugi did a backwards flipped and flipped again by pushing off the ground with his hand to land on his feet. Mace brought his sword down at Yugi, but Yugi blocked the sword and then forced Mirage back before turning to kick Matrix as he came at him. Manson and Marc both tried to strike Yugi, but Yugi's eyes glowed white and an invisible force hit Manson and Marc, sending them both crashing into the wall. Matrix, Mace, and Mirage all went at Yugi, but Yugi jumped back out of the way of the swords. He twirled his Sais and then threw them at the three. The Sais spun so fast that the three could not stop them and hit all three with the blades of the Sais before turning back and going toward Yugi, who caught them in his hands.

"You little bastard!" Manson shouted, getting onto his feet.

"You're just angry because you lost." Yugi said.

"I haven't lost yet." Manson said. He formed a ball of black energy into his hand and threw it at Yugi.

Yugi held up his hand and sent a ball of white energy at the one Manson had thrown at him, stopping the attack.

"NO!" Manson shouted.

"Sorry, but you are not going to get the best of me that easily." Yugi said.

"You'll pay for that." Manson said.

"I'd like to see you try." Yugi said.

Manson ran at Yugi and tried to strike Yugi with his sword, but Yugi blocked the sword with his Sai and then forced the sword up and twirled around to kick Manson in the face. Manson stumbled back, but moved forward to try and strike Yugi again. Yugi ducked and went straight to the ground on his side before kicking out and tripping Manson, who fell flat on his back. Yugi jumped up and turned around to block Mace's sword from striking him. Yugi pushed Mace back and brought his Sai across to strike Mace across the chest. Yugi turned in time to see daggers flying at him. Yugi moved to the left and the right and ended up zigzagging his way through the flying daggers. When the daggers stopped coming at him, Matrix tried to strike Yugi with his sword, but Yugi ducked and was forced to roll to the side as Mirage tried to strike Yugi with his sword. Yugi jumped up and threw his arm across so that both were hit by his magic and thrown back into the wall. Marc ran toward Yugi and brought his sword down to strike Yugi, but Yugi crossed his Sais and blocked the sword. Yugi then forced Marc back before turning around and kicking Marc into his stomach, causing Marc to double over. Yugi the turned back around and punched Marc in the face, throwing him back into the wall.

The five elites stood up and up and stood facing Yugi.

"We will not be defeated by the likes of you." Manson snarled.

"You are not strong enough to defeat us!" Marc added.

"We have never been defeated by anyone, and we are certainly not going to be defeated by the likes of you!" Matrix shouted.

"You will fall, and we will be the ones left standing victorious!" Mirage declared.

"We shall bring you down! You are not going to get away with bringing harm to our master!" Marc finished.

"That was a lovely speech, but do you honestly think that you can stop me? In case you have forgotten, I am the Treasure, and I was given powers by the gods that you cannot even dream about.. You don't really know what I have the capability to do, so you might not want to count your chickens before they hatch." Yugi said.

"I have no idea what that means, but we are not going to fall. Treasure or not, we will not be defeated by you." Manson said.

"Then bring it on." Yugi said, pointing one Sai at the five elites.

Manson growled before all five charged at Yugi once again.

Yugi ducked to avoid a sword and turned out of the way to avoid another. Yugi blocked a sword with his Sai and then jumped up to avoid another one. Yugi kicked out and hit one of the elites before dropping back onto the ground blocking another sword with his Sais. Yugi ducked to avoid another sword and whirled around, blocking all of the swords with his Sais as he turned.

Meanwhile, Heba and the others were walking down the hall and heard what sounded like a battle.

"What the heel is that?" Bakura asked.

"Okay. I think that the elites are having a small problem getting along." Seto said.

Heba frowned. 'The elites don't resort to physical fights, so that means that-' Heba stopped the thought and broke into a run, heading toward where he felt certain the battle was taking place.

"What's he doing?!" Joey exclaimed.

"He's heading right for where that battle is!" Kyla shouted.

"I think that's the point." Leo told them.

The group took off after Heba.

Heba ran to where he could hear the sounds of metal clanking and burst in through the doors to find Yugi locked in a battle with all of the elites.

The others arrived a few seconds later stood shocked at the sight of Yugi fighting off all five elites. Not only that, but Yugi was winning against all five elites.

"How is this possible?" Marik asked.

"I've never seen Yugi ever throw a punch much less fight with weapons against anyone." Ryou said.

"Well, I think that Yugi can take care of himself." Seto said.

Heba, to everyone's surprise, ran jumped into the middle of the battle. Heba blocked Mirage's sword and kicked him in the chest before turning around and striking Mace in the face with his Sai.

The elites jumped back away from the twins.

"Nice of you to finally show up, Protector." Yugi said sarcastically.

"Well, I knew that you could handle yourself when need be, so I was not worried that you would get hurt, Treasure." Heba retorted.

"Yeah. You didn't stop worrying until you senses me using my magic, or Osiris, Horus, and Ra told you that I would be fine." Yugi said.

Heba shrugged. "You're fine, and I'm here, so let's kick some elite ass." Heba said.

Yugi sensed Leo, Yami, Atemu, and Seto start to come toward them. "Stay where you are, guys!" Yugi said.

The four stopped wondering how Yugi knew that they were coming since he had his back to them.

"We'll be fine." Heba added.

"We'll see about that." Manson said.

"You take two, and I take three, or you take three and I take two?" Heba asked.

"I'll take three. I really have a bone to pick with these idiots." Yugi said.

The five elites charged that them.

Manson tried to strike Yugi with his sword, but Yugi ducked and used one Sai to block Mace's sword, and then used the other Sai to block Matrix's sword. Yugi jumped up and kicked Manson in the chest before he turned and blocked Matrix's sword again and ducked to avoid Mace's. Yugi held pout a hand and sent Mace flying back and crashing into the wall before turning around and striking upward with his Sai, hitting Manson in his shoulder. Yugi kicked back without looking and kicked Matrix in the stomach. Yugi twirled around and brought his Sai across, hitting matrix across his chest.

Heba blocked Mirage's sword and the jumped up to avoid Marc's. Heba kicked Marc in the face before he landed on the ground, Heba ducked once more to avoid Mirage's sword and landed on his knees before swinging out with one leg and tripping Mirage up. Marc tried to bring his sword down into Heba's back, but Heba turned and jabbed with his Sais, blocking the sword. Heba forced Marc back and jumped up to kick Marc ion the chest. Mirage got up and pulled out a dagger. He lunged at Heba and tried to ram the dagger into Heba's back, but Heba moved to the side and kicked Mirage in the stomach, causing him to collapse to the ground.

"I'm seeing this, right?" Joey asked, making sure that he wasn't seeing things.

"Yeah. Yugi is defiantly doing all this." Tea said.

"Remind me never to make Yugi mad or to tease him when he's in a fighting mood." Tristan said.

"I'll say this. I never thought of Yugi as the fighting type, but he would make one damn good training partner. Heba, too." Leo said.

"I think that we were worrying about Yugi for no reason." Atemu said.

"Then why has he never defended himself before?" Bakura asked.

"I think that is something that we are going to have to ask Yugi." Yuesei said.

Yugi blocked Manson's sword before he turned around and kicked Mace in the chest. Yugi ducked to avoid Matrix's sword and then struck up with his Sai, hitting Manson in the same shoulder he had hit before. Manson stumbled backwards and Yugi jumped up, ramming the blade of his Sai into Manson's chest. Manson screamed before he was turned into a pile of black dust.

Mace and Matrix were both enraged by this and ran at Yugi. Both were swinging their swords repeatedly at Yugi, but Yugi was blocking each of their swipes with his Sais. Yugi ducked as Mace swung at his neck with his sword and rammed his shoulder into Mace, knocking him off balance. Yugi turned around and slashed Matrix in his arm. Matrix screamed, and Yugi brought the blade of his Sai across Matrix's neck.

Matrix was turned into black dust.

Mace charged at Yugi and tried to strike Yugi with his sword. Yugi blocked the sword with one Sai and brought it up to strike Mace in his upper arm. Mace stumbled backwards from the pain. Yugi rushed forward and rammed one Sai into Mace's stomach and the other into Mace's chest.

Mace collapsed to his knees before turning into black dust.

Heba blocked Marc's sword and forced the sword up before turning around and kicking him in the chest. Marc stumbled back and ducked to avoid having his head cut off but Heba's Sai.

'Where the hell is Mirage when I need him?!' Marc screamed in his mind.

Heba moved forward and brought his Sais at Marc who blocked them with his sword. Heba started to strike at him with both Sais, making it nearly impossible for Marc to do anything. Marc moved back and tried to strike Heba, but Heba ducked and turned around, jabbing his Sai backwards into Marc's stomach before twirling around and slicing Marc's throat.

Marc screamed as he turned into a pile of black dust.

"Well, that was easier than the last time." Heba said.

Yami, Atemu, and the others started wide eyes at what had just happened.

"How the hell sis Yugi learn to fight like that?!" Bakura exclaimed.

"I don't know, but I think I am going to have to ask Yugi to teach me some of those moves." Joey said.

"At least it is over now." Seto said.

Yami frowned. "There were five of them, right?" Yami asked.

"Yeah. So what?" Tristan said.

Atemu gasped. "Yugi and Heba only destroyed four!" Atemu said.

Yugi turned around and looked at Heba. "Heba, where's Mirage?!" Yugi shouted.

Heba's eyes widened. "I don't know!" Heba replied.

From the corner of his eyes, Yuesei saw a movement. Turning, Yuesei's eyes widened as he saw a dagger flying at where Leo was. "LEO! LOOK OUT!" Yuesei cried, pushing Leo out of the path of the dagger, but Yuesei couldn't move out of the way himself as the dagger imbedded itself into Yuesei's chest.

"YUESEI!" Leo screamed, catching his lover before he could hit the ground.

Heba and Yugi both looked to see Yuesei down with a dagger in his chest.

Yugi's eyes flew to the side of the room, where he saw Mirage holding another dagger. Yugi threw out his hand and sent Mirage flying across the room and crashing right into the wall with such force that there was a portion of the wall that fell down on top of Mirage, who stumbled as he crawled out from beneath the rubble.

Leo pulled the dagger from Yuesei's chest, his heart ripping at Yuesei's cry of pain and the blood that was pouring out from the wound. "Yuesei, it's going to be okay. You're going to be fine." Leo said even though he knew that it was a lie. As a doctor, Leo knew that there was no way Yuesei could survive an injury to the chest like that.

Yuesei gave him a weak smile. "You're a terrible liar, lover." Yuesei said.

The others looked on sadly, not knowing what to do or say.

Leo and Yuesei were very much in love and were perfect for each other. It was heart wrenching that Yuesei would die and leave them.

Sayora and Kyla were crying unchecked. Yami and Atemu tried to calm the two.

Ryou and Malik were holding onto Bakura and Marik as they cried.

Joey, Seto, and Tristan tried to hold back their tears, but several did leak out.

Yugi felt tears prickle his eyes, but Yugi rushed forward and went at Mirage. Mirage threw the dagger, but Yugi held out his hand, and the dagger dissipated. Mirage turned and blocked Yugi's Sai. Yugi went at Mirage several times before Mirage was backed into the wall.

Yugi grabbed Mirage by the throat and pulled him forward so that Yugi was right in Mirage's face. "You shouldn't have done that. No one messes with my family and friends and gets away with it." Yugi growled. He rammed his Sai into Mirage's chest.

Mirage gasped and turned into black dust.

"YUESEI!"

Yugi turned around to see Leo with his head buried in Yuesei's hair. Leo's body shaking, and he was obviously crying.

Everyone else was crying as well, even Heba.

Yugi felt the tears fall down his face. 'Osiris.' Yugi called.

'Yes, Yugi. What is it?' Osiris replied.

'You know about Yuesei, right?' Yugi asked.

'Yes, I do. What of it?' Osiris asked.

'Do I have your permission to do it?' Yugi asked.

'Of course. You may do it. Yuesei deserves this chance.' Osiris told him.

Yugi let out a shaky breath before walking over to where the others were.

Heba was the only one who noticed gave his brother a sad smile as if to say he was sorry for everything.

Yugi just smiled back. Yugi knelt beside Leo and said, "Leo."

Leo looked at him.

"Lay Yuesei down." Yugi said.

"What? Why?" Leo asked.

Yugi smiled sympathetically and said, "Please trust me, Leo."

Leo could see the sincerity in Yugi's eyes. He may not have understood, but Leo went with his gut instinct to do what Yugi said. Leo lay Yuesei down on his back, feeling his heart wrench at the sight of the blood all over Yuesei's chest.

"Yugi, what-" Heba started.

Yugi just shook his head as he put his right hand on Yuesei's chest. Yugi closed his eyes, and his entire body began to glow white. The glow spread to Yuesei, and the injury and blood on Yuesei's chest started to fade.

A moment later, Yuesei gasped out as he jerked up.

"YUESEI!" was the collective cry, but no one's was louder than Leo's.

Leo instantly grabbed Yuesei in a fierce hug.

"Oh, thank goodness!"

"I don't believe it!"

"You're okay!"

"You're alive!"

"How is that possible?!"

"This is fantastic!"

"It's unbelievable!"

"It's a miracle!"

"Leo, I-can't-breathe." Yuesei gasped out, liking the feeling of Leo's arms around him, but finding it hard to breathe at how tightly Leo was holding onto him.

"Sorry." Leo said, loosening his hold on Yuesei, but not letting go of Yuesei.

"What happened?" Yuesei asked.

"What happened?! You were hit with that dagger, and you died!" Kyla exclaimed.

Bakura rolled his eyes. "He obviously didn't die since Yugi was able to heal him." Bakura barked.

"Bakura! Be nice." Ryou scolded.

Leo helped Yuesei stand up.

Yuesei looked at all of them and said, "I think I did."

"Did what?" Leo asked.

"Die." Yuesei said, looking up at Leo. "Lover, I think that I did die." Yuesei said.

"How is that possible? You couldn't be here now unless-" Atemu stopped all eyes shifted to Yugi, who had moved back to stand beside Heba.

Heba looked over at Yugi. "Yugi, I know that you were granted a lot of power, but you don't have the power to raise the dead." Heba said.

"Weell-" Yugi said, looking rather guilty.

"YOU HAVE THE POWER TO RAISE THE DEAD!" Heba shouted.

Yugi looked at him strangely. "I know that you were not told all of the powers that I have, but I thought that you would have guessed that one." Yugi said.

"Why the hell would I think that?!" Heba shouted.

"Heba, which three of the Egyptian gods govern my powers?" Yugi asked.

"Horus, Ra, and Osiris." Heba said.

"Think about it." Yugi said.

Heba frowned,, still not able to figure it out.

Yami gasped as his widened in pure realization.

All eyes turned to Yami.

"Osiris! He's the lord of the underworld!" Yami exclaimed.

"Exactly. Osiris gives me the ability to do that." Yugi said.

"Geez. You could bring back anyone that you wanted." Marik said.

"It doesn't work like that, Marik. Osiris has to agree to let me revive the person. Plus, I can only bring the person if they are worthy of another chance at life and they couldn't have died by natural causes." Yugi said.

"What do you mean 'natural'?" Atemu asked.

"Diseases, results of natural disasters. Things like that." Yugi explained.

"So there is a limit." Seto said.

Yugi nodded.

"Then I owe you everything, Yugi." Yuesei said.

"No, you don't. I'm just glad you know everything. This has been going on for too long." Yugi said.

"Too long? It's only been a few days." Tea said.

"Heba, please tell me you told them everything." Yugi said, turning to look at his brother.

Heba gulped. "Everything as in everything?" Heba asked.

Yugi started to walk toward him. "Everything as in what happened five thousand years ago." Yugi said.

"Well, I didn't exactly get a chance to tell them." Heba said, backing up.

"Why?" Yugi asked, still walking at him.

"Well, I was worried about and didn't think about it. Plus-" Heba stopped at the look on Yugi's face.

"Heba, that is not an excuse, and you know it." Yugi said.

"What are you talking about?" Ryou asked.

"Heba and I both lived back five thousand years ago in ancient Egypt. There were ten different factions of dark powers after me for my power, and they were close to gaining it. Heba and I knew that there wasn't a chance we could fight off all of them, so I took my own life to ensure that my power was not captured and misused." Yugi said.

"That's why you were such a good performance servant with the Sais in the Royal palace." Seto said.

"Performance servant? What's that?" Sayora asked.

"It's where female and male servants were trained in weapons to fight for entertainment for the Royal court. Sais were the prominent weapon used." Atemu said.

"I saw Heba one day in training and saw how good he was. I convinced the Pharaoh, Atemu and Yami's father, to let Heba perform for them. He beat the reigning champion in it for twelve years in a matter of minutes." Leo said.

"That's how we first met. You are the reincarnation of my husband, aren't you?" "Atemu asked.

Heba smiled. "Yeah. I am." Heba said.

"You didn't tell them that?" Yugi asked.

"No. I didn't think that it was that important at the time." Heba said.

"Heba caught Atemu's eye the first time he saw Heba perform. A raider attack on the palace proved he was a good body guard, too. Atemu would have been killed by them. Heba's actions saved him and proved he wasn't just a performance artist. He was a good fighter, too. It wasn't but a few months later that he and Atemu were dating. They were married three months after that." Leo said.

"Sounds like your talents in helping me helped you even more." Yugi said.

Heba rolled his eyes. "Oh, shut up." Heba said.

"So, is this over yet?' Malik asked.

"Not by a long shot!"

Okay. One of Yugi's powers as the Treasure is that he can bring back the dead. Also, you see how Heba and Atemu first met.

Next chapter will have Menthos and Maytrine back. More battles are on the way.
