I got my math homework done and most of my study guide for WR, so I decided to go ahead and write this chapter, since I'm not going to have time to write it anytime soon. I've been watching Yugioh 5D's. That shit is amazing! I doubt I'll ever write any fics containing any of the characters, but who knows, I'm not that far along in it…but I really like it so…anyways, I have my retest for math tomorrow, so wish me luck! I need to get out of Module 6 like TOMORROW *crosses fingers*

Anyways, this is the chapter, everyone's been waiting for! I was worried I wasn't going to have any ideas for it, but I came up with this brilliant idea, so I hope y'all enjoy! :D

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Yugioh, trust me sexy fans, you'd know, I know you would

Warnings: My usual "blah" applies so if you don't know what that means then it means there are lemons and other things that aren't suitable for 12 year olds :D

Chapter Thirty-six: Rage of the Light Part 4

"You can do this, my child." Horakhty told me. I looked at her then at Zorc. Zorc stared at me, his red eyes locking with mine.

Zorc didn't say anything, he knew this was the end for him, in mere moments; I would rid the world of him and his evil ways. Horakhty told me that I had to give up my powers afterwards though; she said she knew I wanted to stay in the mortal realm with Yami. But what did Yami want? He still didn't know who was, would we have to go back to his memory world? Would Zorc come back? He needed to know all of his memories. I knew most of the past, we shared it, of course we weren't raised together so his life was very different from mine, but we had fought against each other.

My memories had been altered, thanks to Dartz bringing the Great Leviathan here; if it hadn't been for him, I would have never realized that I was the son of Horakhty nor would I have realized that Yami and I belonged together. Did he know somehow? What did he truly want?

I looked over at everyone, they stood, waiting for me to say or do something. I thought Zorc wanted he and I to rule the world together, I thought it was Yami who destroyed my life. I didn't understand what was going on with my feelings. Dartz had erased my memories, but Yami's mind was erased too, he never showed any kind of feelings toward me, until this whole Dartz incident.

Did he truly love me? Or was it based on the fact we had civil conversations, meaningful talks that meant something to the both of us. I found out things that I never thought I would ever know about him. Growing up to hate him, I realized that I was wrong in choosing him to blame. How could any of it be his fault? I listen to the pathetic lies and fake promises of a demon, and lost my way trying to end him.

Would I ever get him back? Horakhty said that after I defeated Zorc, everyone would return to the mortal realm. Yami's body was in Japan, Mokuba was with him. I knew he was staying by his side. The boy really looked up to Yami. Yami and his brother were his role models. Mahad said that he had taken Yami's past self to another dimension, I wasn't sure where, but I knew Mahad took him to a safe place.

Would Yami still love me after what I did to him? I turned my back on him, after I told him that I loved him. At the time, I didn't know who he really was, I just liked being around him, he made me happy. When Dartz gave me my memories back, all the hatred and anger I had for Yami came crashing down. I couldn't control my anger. Dartz and Zorc took advantage of it. Zorc knew that Yami would protect me, so he attacked me. He wasn't ever going to hurt me he was waiting for Yami to jump in front of me, because he knew that Yami wouldn't know he wasn't really attacking me. Yami didn't know Zorc like I did. Zorc needed me back then he needed my anger and hatred. He knew that Yami and I were soul mates; that's why he was so hell bent on making me believe, that Yami's father destroyed my village, he wanted us to hate each other because he wanted me to be miserable. He knew that if I didn't realize who I was and unlock my true powers, he would stay here forever.

I wasn't sure what Dartz wanted honestly, he said something about wanting to rebuild paradise, I think what he really wanted was for his home and people to return back to the way things were. Dartz had helped a lot, after we got to Egypt, as I was trying to unlock my powers, he was using the Great Leviathan to hold Zorc off, but they were about equal in strength, he held his own against him. But Dartz was still corrupted by the lies of the Orichalcos. I didn't have time to try to help him, I couldn't help him anyways; my job was to destroy Zorc. Horakhty said that she took care of the Great Leviathan. He and Dartz were both in the Shadow Realm along with many other people. I could hear their screams, their hands reaching out to me, begging me to save them. Zorc had opened the gateway, putting his world with our own.

Horakhty said I had the power to defeat Zorc and the Great Leviathan. I wasn't sure what she meant by that. I did have some of her power, but how could I destroy them both? They seemed too powerful to defeat. Zorc was the ruler and creator of the Shadow Realm. The Orichalcos created the Great Leviathan. What did these creatures want? Why were they even here? Did they want similar things? Dartz believed that the Great Leviathan would get rid of the darkness, but how could he get rid of the darkness if he was a part of the darkness? Did Zorc create the Orichalcos during his years of being isolated from the other Gods? Was Dartz really trying to help me, or did he want Zorc gone to claim the "victory"? Either way, I wasn't going to let the Great Leviathan or Zorc win. I knew the truth now, at least enough to know who was good and who was evil. Whether Yami still loved me or not, I loved him. I wanted him to be happy; I had to destroy these demons. I had to get out of here with the others and hope against hope that my lover would be alright, that he would love me the way that I loved him.

Horakhty said after I destroyed Zorc I would have to give up my powers. But was I really willing to let them go? I wanted Zorc and the Great Leviathan gone, in order for Yami and the rest of them to be safe, those two evil monsters had to go. But why did I have to give up my powers? Was there something to this that Horakhty wasn't telling me? What if something like this happened again? How would I be able to protect Yami if I couldn't use any sort of powers. I didn't want to rely on anyone for help, I never asked for help, Zorc taught me it was weakness, but without Yugi and his friends, I would have never unlocked my true powers.

Yami was the chosen Pharaoh, I knew this when I met him, he welded the Gods with ease taking me down. He locked my spirit, his and Zorc's within the items, erasing his mind. He knew that he was the only one that could defeat Zorc. When I was in-between dimensions, Zorc told the others that there were two ways to defeat him. At the time, I wasn't sure what that meant. Why would Zorc tell them something like that? Was it to ensure that our hope would be brighter so he could crash it? He knew that I was the other way to defeat him. He thought that he wouldn't have to die, because he had gotten rid of Yami. Since I was already on his side, why would I want him dead?

I thought Zorc wanted to help me, I thought what he taught me all those years ago were true. He never wanted me to rule with him. He was just going to use me for his own selfish needs. He wasn't going to set my family free from the items. I was the one that had to do that. It was now or never, the look in Zorc's eyes said it all. He knew this was the end for him, but his words, said otherwise.

"I knew you were too weak." Zorc laughed.

I narrowed my eyes, I didn't say anything. I knew he was trying to rattle me, but I wouldn't let him. I had the upper hand here. Horakhty was high above us, looking down as was Diabound.

"Bakura, don't listen to him." Yugi said.

I wasn't. I would never listen to Zorc again. He had lied to me, over and over again, promising me things that would never come true. He kept me from happiness, wanting me to be miserable. I didn't want to be miserable anymore. It wasn't strength, it was stupidity. Yami, Yugi, Ryou, everyone made me realize that. Fighting alongside of them instead against them, I knew where I belonged in this world.

"Kick this grouchy ol' bitch's ass!" Mai yelled.

I heard them cheering me on, their words of encouragement, I knew what I needed to do. If I had to give up my powers after this, then so be it. As long as Yami was safe and happy, I didn't care for them. Maybe it was time to live like everyone else: without magic and monsters without wanting the world to perish by an evil God.

"You don't have to give up your powers, light is evil; where were these fools when you were a child? I was the only one that cared about you and this is how you repay me! I raised you better than this, Bakura!" Zorc hissed. "I can give you anything you want. You know this. I can help you. Don't you want to see your family and friends again? What was the point in all of this then? You said you wanted to rule by my side, well then prove it! I never wanted to hurt you; I know you have potential, to rule by my side. The others want me gone because I'm the only one protecting you. They're jealous of your power and mine. If you destroy me, then you'll be hurting yourself. Don't you want to be powerful? How can you be powerful if you get your powers taken away? You're better than them, than the whole world. Come here, Bakura, let's rule together."

He said this to me all the time, contradicting what he had said earlier in my life, about how pathetic and worthless I was. He knew who I was he knew I could destroy him. He was using fake promises to keep himself alive.

"Stop putting lies into my yami's mind!" Ryou shouted.

"Don't listen to this asshole, Bakura!" Tristan yelled.

"Don't fall for his tricks, Bakura." Marik said. "I know that you don't believe him, don't listen to what he says. Get rid of him, he's just trying to get the upper hand, he knows he's losing."

"Bakura, you must destroy the darkness." Horakhty said. I looked up at her and nodded.

"I'm going to destroy you." I told Zorc.

Zorc threw his head back in a fit of laughter. "I knew you'd choose these pathetic mortals over me, it's a shame really, I wanted you to have my powers, you know Diabound has the power to take anyone's powers-"Zorc said.

"Yes, but she has to defeat them to gain that power." I snapped, interrupting him.

"Hmm…that's true. But remember, I am a God so I can make anything happen." Zorc said.

"I'm not going to fall for your lies anymore, Zorc." I said. "You've been lying to me my whole life. Why? I wasted all of this time, trying to end Yami when he's the only person that makes me happy. You knew that I was the son of Horakhty; you wanted me to fall so you could rise. What did you promise Dartz? The same shit you promised me? You're pathetic! It's time for you to go!"

Everyone clapped.

"Kill him!" they chanted.

"Diabound," I said. Diabound flew by my side, we looked at each other. "How about we take Zorc's power?"

"What!" Zorc screeched. "You can't take my power! That rat is nothing! You're nothing! You can't survive-

I unleashed all of my power; light surrounded him as Diabound attacked, her tail producing white light. It surrounded the God of Darkness. He screamed in pain. Everyone shielded their eyes, the heat was strong; it surrounded my body. I felt as though I was using every inch of my soul to destroy him. Diabound's eyes lit up, her body glowed white; balls of light were thrown at Zorc's chest, making him roar in pain. I saw his skin crack; he was disappearing before my eyes.

"I won't let you win, you brat! If I shall die, so shall you!" he hissed, he reached his hand out, but Blue-eyes Ultimate Dragon, who I had forgotten was still on the field, blasted his hand with Neutron Blast Attack, his hand came off, moving against the dirt.

"Eww!" Tea cried jumping back to see Zorc's hand near her.

"I got this," Kaiba said. Seto stood next to him. His Blue-eyes was gone, I assumed they could see each other now.

"Do you want to do the honors?" Kaiba asked his past self.

"Sure, your beast is amazing." Seto said, "Neutron Blast Attack!"

The hand exploded. Zorc's eyes widened, reaching his other hand out to try and stop them. But it was too late. The heat got hotter the light grew brighter with each passing second. I could hear the cracks that the light was making in Zorc's body. I could see the light swimming inside of him, destroying all of the darkness.

Zorc could no longer talk; he gasped, screamed and roared in pain, he fell to his knees, looking up at Diabound and me. Diabound's arms were opened, all of her power that she ever obtained, along with my power was fueling her, she grew with each passing second. Whenever I used Shadow Powers, it always made me weaker, but using the light's power, it made me stronger, each passing second I could feel it increasing, making my moment of killing the creature that ruin my life, that much more enjoyable.

"Bakura," Horakhty said.

I stopped. Why did she want me to stop? Didn't she want me to destroy Zorc? I looked at her; Diabound ceased the attack as well.

"Zorc is destroyed now." She said.

"What are you talking about?" Joey cried. "He's standing right there!"

Horakhty ignored Joey, she came closer to me. I couldn't move, she towered over all of us, she landed on the ground, looking at Zorc.

"He has been defeated." She said again, looking at her brother. He was lying on the ground, light erupting from the cracks. "I will take care of the rest; you did what needed to be done, my son."

"So Zorc's truly gone?" Tea asked.

"He's not coming back?" Tristan asked.

"How do we know this isn't some trick?" Joey asked.

Horakhty turned to them. "This isn't a trick," she said. "Zorc's really gone. I will take care of the rest of him."

Silence filled the air then cheers erupted. I smiled. It was nice hearing them cheer for me. Light suddenly covered the area like it should have. The sun shined brightly in the sky. Everyone who was in the Shadow Realm returned.

I turned to face everyone. They looked at me. Ryou and Yugi ran up to me, tackling me to the ground.

"I could kiss you right now." Ryou laughed.

"I don't think Kaiba would like that, Hikari." I said sitting up. "But maybe we should just to piss him off."

I looked over at Kaiba and Seto, Kaiba's fists balled at his sides.

"Relax, Kaiba, you know I'm joking with you, I love Yami." I said.

"I know…" Kaiba said. "Ryou, come here."

Ryou gave me a hug, I hugged him back then he got up and ran to where Seto and Kaiba were. I stood up.

"Thank you, Bakura." Yugi said.

I nodded. Everyone came up to me thanking me. It felt strange, being thanked instead of hated.

"It's time for me to go, Bakura." Horakhty said.

"Already?" I asked. My god mother was amazing. She had the power to end Zorc with one strike. She said she would take care of the rest of him. I looked over, Zorc was gone. Where did he go? Did Horakhty destroy him completely or did she take him somewhere to redeem himself. Well, wherever he was, it didn't matter. I didn't have to worry about him anymore.

"Yes, you don't need me anymore." She said.

"Will I ever see you again?" I asked.

"Yes," she said. "But there's one more thing that we have to do before I leave. Are you ready?"

I nodded.

"Bakura…" I heard someone say I wasn't sure who. Horakhty stood in front of me, lifting my chin up so our eyes met.

"I know you're scared that you won't be able to protect Yami, but you don't need power to do that. It's time for you to live and to be happy. The evil is gone now." She said.

"I know," I said. "But what if Yami doesn't love me?"

"I cannot tell you whether or not he still loves you, Bakura. You will have to find that out on your own when you go back to where he is." Horakhty said.

"Is he alright?" Horakhty asked.

"His spirit is." She answered.

"So he'll be awake when I see him?" I asked.

"You'll have to find out." She said.

I nodded. I hoped he would be alright, I knew his spirit wasn't trapped anymore, but whether he's woken up from his coma is another issue entirely.

"Before we begin, there is something that you need to know," Horakhty said.

"What is it?" I asked.

"When you wake up, you will be in the body Dartz gave you, you must leave your past behind, so that means you must leave your old body behind." She said.

"Okay, I said. "I'm ready."

Horakhty nodded, placing her hand on my chest. I felt all of my power being drained, I was becoming weaker and weaker with each passing second. Diabound returned to my soul, once she fell to the ground. I couldn't live without her inside of me, she would protect me, but she had her own powers now, the powers that I gave her and the powers that she took from other creatures. Horakhty removed her hand and I fell to the ground.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Is he going to be alright?" Tea whispered looking at Bakura. He lay on the ground, unmoving.

"He'll be fine," Horakhty said. "But he won't last long in this realm."

"We should go then," Marik said.

"How do we get out of here?" Mai asked.

"The same way we got here?" Joey asked.

"We got here through Ring," Ryou pointed out. "The Ring doesn't exist anymore and only Bakura can unlock the doors."

"So we're stuck here forever?" Joey cried.

Horakhty laughed. "I'll take you back to where you need to go, my children."

Everyone looked at Horakhty.

"So y'all are leaving?" Mana asked.

Yugi turned to Mana, nodding. "Yeah, we need to get back to our world."

"Take care of Bakura," Seto said.

"Thank you," Mahad said. "And give my regards to Bakura."

"We will," Ryou said. "Thanks of helping us."

"We couldn't have done it without you, little one." Isis said leaning down, wrapping her arms around Ryou. Ryou blushed returning the favor. They let go after a while. "Your yami is a good person, keep him safe."

Ryou nodded. "I will."

"Are you ready?" Horakhty asked everyone.

Yugi, Kaiba, Ryou, Marik, Mai, Joey, Tristan, and Tea nodded.

"Who's going to carry him?" Mai asked pointing to Bakura.

"Don't worry about him," Mahad said.

"Are you sure?" Yugi asked.

Mahad nodded.

After everyone finished their good-byes, Horakhty used her powers to zap them back into their time.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ugh," Joey groaned putting his hands on his head.

"Headache, Joey?" Yugi asked walking up to him.

"Yeah," Joey answered. "How are you feeling?" he asked leaning down to look at his lover in the eye.

"I'm fine, just tired." Yugi said.

"Ryou," Seto said. "Wake up."

"Huh? Where are we?" Ryou asked.

"We're in the sanctuary where the Tablet of the Pharaoh is." Marik answered as Ryou sat up.

"Where's Bakura?" Ryou asked looking around.

"He's over there," Seto answered pointing to Bakura's body, which was lying on the ground a few feet away from everyone else.

"Someone needs to wake him up." Tristan said.

"You should let him rest," Marik said as Tristan was about to shake Bakura awake. "He used a lot of energy defeat Zorc not to mention Horakhty took all of his powers away."

Tristan nodded, standing back up again.

"We should get out of here then," Tea said. "Who's going to carry Bakura?"

Ryou looked at Seto, Seto sighed. "Fine," he growled.

"Thank you, Seto." Ryou said hugging him.

"Whatever," Seto said.

Seto walked over to Bakura, picking him up. They walked out of the sanctuary.

"Sunlight!" Joey and Tristan cried.

"We can eat now!" Joey cried.

"I'm eating a whole pepperoni pizza by myself!" Tristan said.

"Tristan, you can't eat that!" Yugi laughed.

"Sure I can!" Tristan said. "I can do anything."

"Yes, expect eat a whole pizza." Joey said.

"Oh, and like you can?" Tristan asked glaring at Joey.

"Of course!" Joey boasted. "Food is my specialty."

Yugi and Ryou laughed.

"No argument there," Yugi said.

"I know, I've never seen anyone eat like he does." Ryou said.

"Would we please stop talking about food already?" Joey whined. "I'm starving."

"I know!" Tristan cried.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Marik!" Ishizu cried running up to her brother, they hugged each other. Odion stood beside of the Jeeps.

"Hey, Ishizu," Marik said after they pulled away.

"Are you alright?" Ishizu asked.

Marik nodded.

"Oh my, what happened to Bakura?" she asked.

"It's a long story," Marik said. "I'll tell you on the way back home."

Ishizu nodded.

"We can talk you back to your jet, Kaiba." Ishizu said.

Seto nodded. Everyone climbed into the Jeeps, a few hours later, they arrived where they had been in the first place. Roland got out of the jet, running over the Seto.

"Sir, are you alright?" Roland asked.

"I'm fine," Seto replied picking Bakura up. "We need to take him to the hospital." He said handing Bakura over to Roland. Roland nodded.

Everyone said their good-byes; Marik, Ishizu and Odion got back into their Jeep and sped off. Everyone else climbed onto the jet.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Roland and the other men took Bakura into the hospital, the nurses gasped, putting him on a stretcher.

"Get him to the ICU!" a nurse shouted.

"SETO!" Mokuba cried as soon as Seto entered the hospital.

"Mokuba," Seto gasped as his little brother squeezed the life out of him.

Mokuba let go, "Sorry, Seto," Mokuba said blushing, "I'm just so happy to see you, you were gone for a long time."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Seto said kneeling down in front of his brother. "Are you okay?"

Mokuba nodded. "Yeah, just keeping an eye on Yami." He said.

"How is he?" Yugi asked.

Mokuba sighed. "Not so good, he hasn't said a word in weeks. Hey, what happened to Bakura?"

"It's a long story." Ryou mumbled.

"Bakura's going to be fine." Mai said. "he's strong."

"What about Yami?" Mokuba asked.

"I'm sure he will too." Mai said putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Let's go see Yams then." Joey said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Me: So Bakura defeated Zorc, in return he had to give up his powers he and Yami are unconscious, Bakura is unconscious for obvious reasons. Also, I didn't forget Dartz, he didn't go into the Memory World with everyone else; so his body is somewhere else. But he's going to come back, not sure when though. Next chapter should be the chapter I've been dying to write, the argument between Joey and Bakura! Zorc is gone, the Great Leviathan is gone, this story's just getting started my lovelies. Lots of Euro and Wishshipping moments coming up! But the question that everyone wants to know is: Will Yami ever wake up? Well, you're just going to have to find out, now won't y'all? :D. Review lovelies!
