Duel 20: Game Over
"YUGI" shouts Joey as he continues to hold the bridge supporting Yugi.
'The power…to trust your friends…..!' thinks Shadi one last time. "My heart's ushebti shattered" exclaims Shadi just as his statue broke allowing his Millennium Key to become free.
"Shadi's statue has broken! Now the Millennium Key will slide down the rope to Yugi's hand" exclaims Yami as he watched the key slide down the rope and to Yugi's hand where once it touched it awoken Yugi from his doll like state.
"HUH? Where….?" remarks Yugi as he blinks at is surroundings only to then look down only to see how high he was causing him to whimper and collapse to his knees.
"URK…H-Hey Yugi! You're too heavy! Get up on the roof" shout Joey to his pal as he tries to hold the board a bit more.
"Joey? What are you doing there?" asks Yugi once he took notice to his friend only to blink when he to notice the hooded figure. "Who's she?".
"Yugi there isn't time for 50 questions, you got to climb down" remarks Joey.
"But I-I'm scared! I can't move, I'm going to fall" whimpers Yugi as he shakes his head no.
"Yugi you have to climb down…don't be afraid" calls the hooded figure that was standing next to Joey only to notice the zombie Professor.
"I can't" whimpers Yugi once more, to scared to move.
"The zombie Professor" exclaims the hooded figure. "What? No, down boy, don't climb up here" exclaims Joey as he to looks to the Professor.
"WHEE HEE" calls the Professor as he reaches for Joey's legs.
"YUGI! Hurry up" yells Joey just as the Professor grabs his legs.
"Okay, I'll try!" and with that Yugi slowly manages to turn around while telling himself not to look down in the process.
"GGGHH!", 'Hurry Yugi….He's pulling on my legs….I can't hold it up anymore' thinks Joey just as Yugi began to walk across the bridge.
'I can't hold on…' thinks Joey just as he finally lost control of the board that was holding Yugi up which causes him to lose his balance and fall only to be caught by Yami.
"YUGI" yells Yami as he manages to grab Yugi by the hand and yank him to safety before he could fall to the ground.
"Yami" exclaims Yugi happily once he was securely locked within Yami's arms.
'Good…Yugi's safe….' thinks Joey just as he looks down to the Professor. "Now to do something about this guy"
"Joey make the Professor touch that ankh-shaped key" exclaims the hooded figure.
"Huh? You mean this thing? Asks Joey once he noticed the Millennium Key.
"Yes, it will undo Shadi's spell" exclaims the hooded figure.
So with enough said Joey yanks the Professor's hand up to the Millennium Key which just like promised broke Shadi's spell over him.
'How did she know how to break Shadi's spell? And why do I feel as though I remember her' wonders Yami as watches the three of them.
"Professor? Are you back to normal?" asks Joey.
"What….? Oh…You're Joey aren't you…." asks Yoshimori once he was finally back to his senses.
"Forget it, okay? Just don't look down" remarks Joey to Yoshimori.
"D-Don't look…WHAT? MY TEETH….." shouts Yoshimori once he noticed that almost all his teeth were missing from his mouth.
"I said don't look" grumbles Joey as he begins to help Professor Yoshimori over the fence leading up to the roof before he, himself climbed over it as did Yami once Yugi was safely within his arms.
"Yo, gramps you all right?" asks Joey once he noticed Yugi's grandpa had finally made it to the roof as well. "I was just knocked out for a little while…" remarks Grandpa to Joey while Yami inspected Yugi to make sure he was ok.
"In any case, looks like everyone is okay" remarks Grandpa while Yami moves towards Shadi who was standing with Heila and the hooded figure.
"Yami….You have passed all of the tests….It is my complete defeat…"admits Shadi to Yami who can only listen.
"I used the Millennium items to show you illusions….illusions summoned from the shadows…and yet to me…the image of you and your friends trusting and helping each other here in this world, seems like an illusion….somehow, that seems sad…" remarks Shadi to Yami.
"Shadi….I've realized something about the power of the Millennium Puzzle, no matter how far apart we are, friends always come together as one, we are small pieces that bind together to become an undefeatable power, just like a puzzle", "The power of unity, That is the power of the Millennium Puzzle" remarks Yami, as Yugi slowly walks over to his koi as does Joey and gramps and Yoshimori.
'The power of unity' remarks a shocked Shadi.
"Shadi" calls Heila which causes him to look to her.
"Shadi, you've finally found your answers to the questions of the Millennium Puzzle, your job here is done, you can finally go home" admits Heila as the hooded figure moves to stand next to her in the process.
"Yes…that is true…." answers Shadi as he begins to turn around only to halt to speak once more.
"Yami…You have passed my tests…I have been beaten, but I am pleased…my bloodline has been searching for so long…for someone like you….you may be able to open that door…" replies Shadi and with that he was gone.
"Heila" calls Yami which causes her to look to Yami as does the hooded figure. "Yes Yami?" answers Heila as she waits for a response.
"Did you know Shadi?" asks Yami. "Yes" answers Heila with down cast eyes. "So, you knew he was coming?" asks Yami in mild anger that she didn't warn him about it. "Yes…I knew…I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I was promised not to tell" remarks Heila as she continues to down cast her eyes.
"You PROMISED! You could have gotten Yugi killed" snaps Yami which causes Heila to flinch.
"Whoa, now just back off Yami" remarks the hooded figure as she moves to stand in front of Heila. "And just who are you?" demands Yami as he now looks to the hooded figure.
"I'm a friend and that's all you need to know, Heila didn't mean to put Yugi or your friends in danger, But Shadi comes to challenge all people who come in contact with the Millennium items and she was forbidden to interfere with him" remarks the hooded figure.
"Big talk for someone who won't show her face" remarks Joey as he to moved next to Yami. But as everyone began to fight Yugi on the other hand was beginning to become frighten and started to whimper which alerted Yami.
"Aibou are you ok" asks Yami once he was by Yugi. "I'm fine" whimpers Yugi as he hides his face within his shirt which causes Yami to pick him bridal style while Yami continues to look at Heila.
"A friend? Well as far as I'm concern your no friend of mine and until then you will stay away from Yugi" orders Yami which causes Heila to gasp in sadness. "Now wait one second, you can't do that to her" snaps the hooded figure.
"Try me" glares Yami as if daring her to say something else. "Are you challenging me?" asks the hooded figure. "No, but if your looking for one I'm willing to give it to you" replies Yami.
So as the two continue to banter with each, Heila finally gets to the point where she can no longer handle it and finally snaps. "MOU HITORI NO HEILA" screams Heila which causes everyone to look at the hooded figure who stops only to remove her hood so that everyone could see who she was.
"Fine, we'll stay away from Yugi, but I swear we are not your enemy" and with that Heila and Yami Heila both leave as well.

A/N: Well how was it? Good? Bad? Please R&R…I know we changed the ending a whole lot but I needed to do this because Heila and Yami Heila will redeem there selves during Duel 26: The Russian Roulette when Yugi gets poisoned by Mokuba and it's up to them to save him.
