Kajita: I like this chappie. Bakura goes totally evil.
Bakura: I thought I was already evil.
Kajita: You are, but here you're like supremely evil.
Bakura: (laughs maniacally) BOW BEFORE ME, INFERIOR MORTAL!!!!!
Kajita: In your dreams, pal. On with the story.
Chapter 4: Battle of the Minds
Mahaad's advice couldn't have been more precise. In 5 minutes, they found Malik at the city square, beating Yugi within an inch of his life. Yami could sense that Yugi was losing his will to fight, losing consciousness. Yami came down as fast as he safely could, transforming into a demon. Just as Malik was about to deal the death blow, Yami landed just a few feet away.
"You lay another finger on him and I'll rip apart your very soul!!" growled Yami.
"Could I rip off his head or pull out his limbs, or both?" asked Bakura sadistically.
Malik turned around and froze in place. Standing in front of him was Yami and Bakura in demon form. Black wings arched majestically behind them, the pupils of their blood-red eyes became thin slits, their ears were serrated, their fingers grew claws, and razor sharp and pointed fangs jutted down from their mouths. Malik smirked and unsheathed the hidden dagger.
"Come closer and not only will I kill him, but I will also destroy the puzzle!! Hahahaha!" threatened Malik.
Yugi was still conscious enough to feel the blade being firmly pressed against his exposed throat. Yugi stared at Yami with pleading eyes that began filling with tears. Cleverly, Malik came up with a plan.
"Yami, I have a proposition for you. Duel me in a battle of the minds. If you win, I will release your aibou. If you lose, not only will both of you die, but I will banish your soul to the Shadow Realm." chuckled Malik.
Yami smirked and accepted the challenge.
"However, I would like to modify the agreement. Like you said, if I lose, both of our lives are yours to take and my soul will be banished. If I win, not only will you release Yugi, but, I will decide your punishment. Agreed?"
Malik nodded and the duel began. It was similar to the battle between Bakura and Pegasus. A beam of light came from the millennium items and the millennium eye appeared on their foreheads. The battle lasted longer than expected. After what seemed to be an eternity of mind- battling, Yami began to tire. His knees began to buckle, his breaths were becoming deep, and his concentration was breaking.
Yami could hear Malik taunting him and coercing him to give up. Yami was about to give out when he heard Yugi's voice in his head.
"Yami.Yami.don't be afraid. You can beat Malik, just believe in yourself. I believe in you."
"And so do I." came Bakura's voice.
Yami responded weakly.
"Th-thank you for your s-support, b-but I'm losing it. I.I.I'm s-sorry. I've failed you all."
Yami eyes were starting to close. His will to fight was diminishing. Malik was laughing at Yamis' desperate efforts to fight him.
"Hahahaha!!! Look at you, the legendary King of Games, what a joke! Now I will defeat you. May your trip to the Shadow Realm be an excruciating one!"
Unable to take it anymore, Yugi shouted the phrase that would save their lives: "DON'T GIVE UP, PHARAOH ATEMOMUKANON!!!"
Wow!!! Yami hears his real name! What is going to happen now??? Find out in the next chapter. Plz R&R
