Yugi saw the smile on Lara's face as if she knew something that was going to happen soon. She had her eyes focused on something behind Max. Looking up from Max, Yugi saw the tanned male standing behind him. He knew who it was thanks to his visions of the past guardians of Egypt.

Yami looked up from Max seeing the shadow of a third person on the floor in front. Lara seemed happy that she had other connections; it helped when they could help to. Lara took this opportunity to startle Max. Shifting her weight to her feet she grabbed Max by his shoulders and flipped him over herself. Landing on the ground before Lara, Max had no time to strike back. A thin cord of some type appeared around his neck as Lara pulled on both ends to keep him from moving.

"See you don't like it when you can't move due to you being strangled. Now you know what it feels like to be venerable." A tanned human hand found itself a place on Lara's shoulder as he spoke.

"Lara don't. You don't want to be a killer." Lara turned at his words, releasing the cord enough for Max to move. She hadn't noticed till the figure behind her had knocked her to the ground. It took Lara a few minutes to realize what had just happened and what was happening now. Max had been hit and was now recovering from the force. He seemed to smile at the sight of this stranger.

"Well, well. Long time no see. Horus."

"Guess so Max but not long enough." Horus turned to see Lara still laying on the ground looking shocked at how Horus was when it came helping her. "Are you ok my dear?"

"Thanks Horus, but how. Did you know I mean."

"You know me Lara. Now Max, trying to kill Lara again along with Yugi."

"As a matter of fact I only want one." Max turned with his fist high in the air as he advanced towards Horus. Before Horus could do anything, Lara came between Max's fist and Horus just in time to take the hit. Horus's eyes followed Lara as she fell to the ground. Max seemed a bit frightened when he turned to see Atem's fist collide with his face. Max dropped straight to the ground while Atem took another step closer to his sister.

Atem dropped to his knees beside Horus as he looked over his sister. She didn't look hurt just slightly concussed. Atem turned to see Yugi standing beside Max with his foot on Max's chest holding him down.

"Lara, senet are you ok?" Lara didn't seem to respond to his words, she appeared to still be breathing just not awake. Atem turned round to see Yugi still holding Max down to the floor. Climbing to his feet Atem grabbed Max by his collar and pushed him into the nearest wall.

"So Max you only wanted Lara am I right?" Max nodded, he was showing how frightened of Atem he was. He couldn't find his voice to reply using words. If Atem knew the strength of his power then Max would be in for it. Atem alone had the power to erase Max from the surface of the earth.

While holding Max against the wall Atem could sense how weak Lara seemed to be growing by every minute. Letting his rage control him Yami pulled Max closer to himself then threw him into the wall.

"What have you done to her?" Yami shouted. Max jumped at the pitch of Yami's voice, he could hear Atemu in his voice. Calling the shadows one of Sphynx's sai's appeared in his right hand, placing it to Max's throat.

"Atem don't." Horus stood beside him as he held onto Yami's hand. Yami wanted to hurt Max so much, he couldn't listen to Horus just now. "Atem, Max hasn't done anything to Lara."

"Then why can I sense how weak she is?"

"You and Lara share a special bond due to you two being so close. Lara's letting you have access to her power as you are with her. She's only weak because she is giving you her energy to kill Max."

Yami looked back to Max, he looked terrified. Yami lowered his hand as Horus took hold of Max allowing Yami to see to his sister. Lara's breathing was starting to come normal now Yami wasn't using his shadow magic. Yugi looked from Lara to Yami, thinking about everything.

"Yami you weren't seriously going to kill him were you?" Yami looked to his light; he wasn't sure how to answer that question. Would he? He didn't know, yea he wanted to but physically killing him is different to thinking it and wanting to.

"Yugi I-" He was cut off by Lara talking over him, she knew him better than he did. She knew the truth that lay within him.

"You wouldn't sen, no matter how much you hate him you wouldn't." She looked away from here brother and Yugi to see Horus still holding Max. She knew the only way to make things right was to let the gods decide his fate. Yami couldn't kill him he was to kind hearted like Yugi and Lara herself would and could. She didn't care about being a killer after everything Max had put her through and the others she didn't care.

Max had tried to kill her and Yugi. Was it wrong to want him dead let alone act out? Being a killer didn't bother her if it was Max, he wasn't human so did it matter. She would only class herself as a killer if she killed a human.

Max balled his hand into a fist before striking Horus. Horus didn't have time to retaliate when he was struck. Losing full control Horus fell straight to the ground. Max conjured up another one of his weapons. A long silver blade with a crimson red gem placed between the blade and the handle. The blade was curved half way down with small jiggered edges coming out. If this part of the blade was to cut into someone, and you pulled it out you would rip more skin and put the person through more pain in doing so.

He walked at a fast pace towards Yami, seeing Max advance closer to her brother. Lara jumped to her feet as she picked up Yami's sai. She pushed the pointed end of the sai into Max's stomach. She'd tilted the sai upwards making it enter his stomach and exit out of his back mid way.

Feeling the sai enter his body he pushed with full force against Lara causing her to collide with the wall at the over end of the room. After hitting the wall everything went black for Lara. Max still stood there in the same space as before facing the main gods of Egypt. Ra, Osiris, Isis, Anubis, Thoth and Horus. They all encircled him. Just watching him struggle to control himself even with the pain.

They looked to Max then to Lara seeing her laid upon the floor. She didn't look to be breathing anymore but that would change soon. First they just had to punish Max. They didn't take long in deciding his fate along with the others. Turning to see Yami and Yugi kneeling beside Lara's limp body Horus stepped forward. Holding his hand out toward Yami, he handed him a necklace or what he thought was one but turned out to be three.

Looking at them Yami realized that they were the original three necklaces of the guardians of Egypt. He handed Yugi the one that bore a Falcon upon it and placed the one with the Sphinx on around his own neck. The other he gently put on Lara. She looked so peaceful where ever she was now.

The two of them looked back to the gods to see a cloud of fire appear around Max as she turned to ashes. The gods seemed to turn into light that slowly disappeared. Yami looked back to Yugi, he was just about to embrace his light when everything went black.
