"This is going to be modified Battle City rules, Moto," said Bakura. "We each start with 4000 life points, but tributes are not necessary." Yugi nodded.
"All right then," he said. "When ever you're ready, Bakura- Lets get this over with."
4000/4000 (Yugi/Bakura)
Bakura started off his turn by playing the Baron of the Fiend Sword along with a Magic/Trap card face down. He then ended his turn.
//Be careful, aibou- we may have an idea of what this grave robber is capable of, but we don't know what he's learned since the last time we dueled.//
/(Yugi to Yami/Hikaru) I agree, but I won't know unless I try to find out. / Yugi drew a Monster card from his deck, then played it in defense mode. /Hmm... Baron of the Fiend Sword is a good move, but not quite good enough./ Suddenly, Tori rushed to Yugi's side, with two cards in her hand.
"Yugi," she said as she handed him the cards. "Take these!" Yugi gave her a confused look, but took the cards.
"What are they Tori?" he asked.
"My two favorite cards- Wingweaver and the Dark Witch. I have a feeling they can help you!" Bakura let out a groan.
"Can we get on with it now?" he asked. "Two cards won't help you anyway, not with little surprise I have planned." Yugi shot him a look.
"What are you talking about, Bakura?"
//Are you sure you want to know?// Bakura flashed him an evil grin.
"You'll see soon enough." Tori placed her hand on Yugi's shoulder.
"Put them in your deck, Yugi," she said. "Trust me!" Yugi nodded
"All right." With that he slipped the cards into his deck, reshuffled and ended his turn.
"I said that two cards wouldn't help you," said Bakura. "But after I place this card face down, I guess I have to prove that- Baron of the Fiend Sword: destroy his face down card!" Yugi began to smile.
"Bad idea, Bakura." Yugi then flipped over his face down card- the Wall of Illusion. Not to be outdone, Bakura flipped over his trap card, Reinforcements, which rose his Baron of the Fiend Sword's attack to 2050. Yugi's eyes narrowed as he put the Wall of Illusion into the graveyard as Bakura returned his Baron to his had, as the effect of Wall of Illusion required. He then placed a card from their hand face down and ended his turn.
"Joey," said Torina, rather annoyed. "You're not doing much cheering!" Joey nodded, not taking his eyes off of Bakura.
"Sorry, Tori," he said. "I'm just tryin' to figure out what he's up to." Tori shook her head and took a deep breath.
"I'm not sure I want to know..."
//Why not, Bishoujo?//
/*It's just a feeling and I'm trying not to take chances when Hikaru's not around- she's not fond of me getting in trouble when she's gone.*/ Yami chuckled.
/What's so funny, Yami?/
//Nothing, aibou- nothing at all//
/All right then./ Yugi then placed a card hand face down in the Magic/Trap zone along with a monster in defense. He then ended his turn. Bakura began his turn with the same card that started to game for him- Baron of the Fiend Sword. Tori raised an eyebrow.
"Why that card again?" she muttered. "What's he doing?" Bakura suddenly to looked over her way.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" asked Bakura. "Don't get to anxious, Torina- You'll see soon enough..." He then flipped over a Trap Card- the Acid Trap Hole. "Now if that face down card of your has a defense of 2000 or less, Yugi, it'll be destroyed.. Yugi frowned as he placed his Mystical Elf into the graveyard. Tori bit her lip- she shouldn't have asked. "And that," Bakura continued. "Allows me to attack your life points directly. Do it, Baron of the Fiend Sword!"
"Not so fast, Bakura!" cried Yugi as he flipped over a Waboku, which reduced the Baron's attack to zero. Tori smiled.
"Good move, Yugi!" she said happily.
"Yeah," added Joey. "Good goin', Yuge!" Bakura shook his head.
"No matter," he said. "That won't save you next time."
/That was close... But he's right- I only have one Waboku in my deck./
//Don't worry- we won't need it.//
/I hope you're right./ Yugi placed the trap card into the graveyard just as Bakura ended his turn. Yugi drew a card, then placed the same card in defense on the field and ended his turn. Bakura just stood there- Tori couldn't tell if he had fallen asleep or what.
"And now," he said, finally. "Baron of the Fiend Sword, attack Yugi's face down card!" Tori gulped as Yugi placed his Stern Mystic into the Graveyard.
"Don't worry Yuge," cried Joey. "You can trash this guy! You've done it before!" Torina nodded, eagerly.
"Yeah!" she added. "You've got this creep, Yugi!" Bakura then ended his turn, cuing Yugi to draw a card. As soon as he did so, he began to smile.
"Here we go!" he said. "I play Card Destruction!" Yugi put his hand into the graveyard, as did Bakura and drew three more cards- one of which was the Dark Magician. "And now... I play the Dark Magician!" Tori smiled.
"All right!" she said. "Go Dark Magy!" Joey looked at his girl and smiled- she really got into this stuff. The Dark Magician destroyed Bakura's Baron of the Fiend Sword, but didn't do a thing to his life points- Bakura flipped over a Waboku. "Ah, man- you're lucky!" Bakura shot her an icy glare as he drew a card... but then he began to laugh.
"Anybody else not like the sound of that?" asked Joey, right before Bakura placed a Change of Heart on the field.
"I'll be taking your Dark Magician now, Yugi," Bakura said as the monster switched to his side. "And I'll use his to attack your life points! Dark Magic Attack!"
1500/4000
"Don't worry Yuge," said Joey. "You've been in tougher spots! Besides, it's only for one turn and we all know he hasn't got another one of those in his deck- you're only allowed to have one!" Bakura smiled as he put the Change of Heart into the graveyard.
"I may only have one," he thought, "But I have a card that can bring it back if I need it." The Dark Magician went back under Yugi's control as Bakura placed a card facedown and ended his turn. Yugi drew another card.
/All right, here we go!/
//Get what you were looking for, Yugi?//
/Sorta./ He looked at Bakura and smiled as he placed a Doma The Angel of Silence face up next to the Dark Magician.
"Doma," he said. "Attack Bakura's face down card!" Bakura scowled as he put his Witty Phantom into the graveyard. "And Dark Magician, attack his life points!"
1500/1500
"That evens things out." Yugi said with a grin. Joey also grinned, as did Tori.
"Go, Yugi!" she said, happily. Bakura ignored her as he placed two cards face down- one Magic/Trap and one monster. He then ended his turn. Yugi then began his turn by drawing a card and placing one in his Magic/Trap zone, face down.
"Doma," he said. "Attack Bakura's face down card." The Angel of Silence did so, revealing a D. Human... and a Castle Walls trap card. Bakura smiled.
"That makes D. Human defense more that Doma's attack." he said... but Yugi just smiled as he flipped over a Reinforcements.
"Not quite, Bakura." Bakura scowled as he put his monster into the graveyard along with his trap card. Tori giggled.
"Bye-bye D. Human!" she said.
//Nice play, aibou.//
/Thanks./
"Awesome job, Yuge!" commented Joey. Bakura drew a card and began to smile.
"Just the card I needed," he said as he put down a Monster Reborn.
"Uh-oh," said Tori. Joey looked over at Yugi.
"I really don't like the sound of that..." he said. The silence from Yugi and Tori told everyone that they didn't like it either. Bakura then pulled a card from his graveyard- a Cosmo Queen, one of the cards he had to discard thanks to Yugi's Card Destruction.
"And just to make sure you're not hiding something," Bakura said. "I play De-Spell first- what do you have hiding there." Yugi said nothing, but put a Remove Trap into the graveyard. Tori looked at him, a bit of fear on her face.
"Yugi," she said. "I really don't like this." Yugi looked at her and gave a soft smile.
"It'll be okay sis..." Bakura's eyebrows suddenly rose at the word 'sis.'
"Sis?" he asked. "Why Yugi, I wasn't aware you had any other family besides that grandfather of yours." Yugi didn't see where that had any relevance... until he realized what Bakura was getting at.
/Oh God, he wouldn't!/ Yami wished to break this to his aibou easily, but couldn't really think of a way to do it.
//Wouldn't he? He's done it before.// As Bakura's Cosmo Queen attacked Yugi's Dark Magician, Yugi fired one demand at him.
"Leave her alone, Bakura!"
1050/1500
"So protective you are," Bakura said with a smile. As he said that, Joey also realized what Bakura was thinking.
"Don't even think about it!" he said, angrily. The harshness in his voice scared Tori as much as Bakura's evil laugh.
"Am I the only one who doesn't know what's going on?" she asked. Yugi said nothing- he just drew a card, placed Doma into defense and ended his turn.
"All out of moves, Yugi?" asked Bakura. "Oh dear- Cosmo Queen, attack his Doma!" The Queen did so, sending Yugi's Angel to the graveyard. Tori was looking at Yugi, but he refused to look her in the eye- something was very wrong.
"Yugi," she said. "What was he talking about?" Her friend said nothing, but Bakura began to smile.
"She doesn't even know, Yugi?" he asked. "Tsk-tsk, that's not taking very good care of your family, now is it?" Joey glared at him.
"Leave her out of this, Bakura!" he shouted.
"Keh- make me."
"I'm warning you!" Complete fear was shown in Tori's eyes as she bit her lip. This really wasn't good. Yugi took a deep breath, his hands shaking.
//Calm down, Yugi!//
/I can't! If I don't draw a good card soon, I'm history! And if I lose, who knows what Bakura'll do to Tori?/ He then placed a card in defense and ended his turn. Bakura wasted no time in using his Cosmo Queen to attack the card Yugi had just played. Yugi frowned as he put Silver Fang into the graveyard.
/*Yami, what is going on? What are they talking about?*/ Yami didn't answer her- she didn't want to scare her anymore than she already was. /*Yami! Please!*/ He still said nothing. Bakura then looked at Torina and smiled. The look sent a cold chill though Tori's body and she gave a shudder. Joey instantly noticed and looked over at Yugi
"Cream this guy, Yuge!" he said. Yugi nodded.
"As soon as it's my turn." That comment only widened Bakura's smile.
"Well," he said. "Since it seems you've done such a poor job of preparing your sister... we should finish this in the Shadow Realm."
//No!// Tori heard Yami's exclamation and looked shocked.
"What?" she asked and looked over at Joey- his eyes were on Bakura, a fire raging inside them. He then looked over at Tori.
"Tori-girl, see if you can use your powers to keep us out of the Shadow Realm. Hurry!" Tori nodded and closed her eyes. A bright blue aura surrounded her, but it seemed that nothing she did could stop the room from darkening as they slipped into the Shadow Realm. She sighed in defeat as the aura vanished.
"I'm sorry, Joey," she said. "He's too strong- I haven't got enough power to stop him!" Bakura began to laugh.
"Yes," he said, "and the fact that I was blocking most of what little power you have doesn't help any, does it?" Yugi's eyes narrowed.
//Why that...//
"I told you to leave her be!" he yelled.
"Keh- since when do I listen to a Pharaoh or a mortal?"
"I'm warning you!"
"Do I honestly care about your pathetic threats?" Yugi's anger softened as he began to become scared.
"Bakura! Don't do it!" Tori gulped and looked over at Yugi.
/*Yami, what's going on? Stop trying to protect me and just tell me!*/ Before Yami could say a word, Bakura began to laugh.
"You obviously can't stop me," he said. "So..." Suddenly, Bakura's ring started to glow. Suddenly, another aura surrounded Tori, this time it was black as night- completely evil. Seconds later, her eyes closed and she collapsed.
"TORI!" yelled Joey and Yugi.
//Oh no...//
"WHAT DID YOU DO, BAKURA?!" cried Joey. Yugi scowled.
"I told you to let her be!" he said. Bakura smiled.
"I'll let her go- if..."
"If?" asked Joey.
"If you can beat me."
"There's no "if" about it," said Yugi. "I will beat you!" Joey glared at Bakura as Yugi drew his next card. He let out a gasp.
//What's wrong, Yugi?//
/It's one of Tori's cards- the Wingweaver! Do I dare play it?/ He looked in his hand, then gave a smile. /With this, I do!/ Yami gave a worried sigh.
//What do you have in mind?// Yugi looked up at Bakura.
"I play Swords of Revealing Light," he said. "Which freezes your Monsters for three turns¼"
//Good idea.//
/Yeah, but I'm gonna hate myself in the morning¼/
"And I also summon the Wingweaver, in attack mode!" The six-winged fairy of peace appeared on the field, followed by a very confused voice.
"Hey, what the¼? Yugi? What's going on?" Joey shot Yugi a confused look.
"What the¼" Joey said, slowly. "Yuge... does that sound like¼" Again the voice jumped in.
"Joey? Where are you?"
"I'm right here!" Joey yelled. "Where are you?"
"Ah!" the voice cried. "Giant Yugi? And Bakura? What the..?"
"Joey," said Yugi. "Look on the field." Joey did so and was amazed at what he saw.
"TORI?" There she was- a miniature version dressed in the Wingweaver's costume. As Bakura began to laugh, Tori closed her eyes.
"Wake up, Tori," she muttered. "Just wake up."
"Foolish mortal, you aren't dreaming!" cried Bakura. Tori looked up at him.
"And I know this how? As far as I know, this is a bad nightmare that I will hopefully wake up from soon!" Bakura pointed to Yugi.
"Ask your 'brother.'" Torina looked over at Yugi- he was nodding.
"You're not dreaming, Tori." Tori nodded back.
"Okay... Yugi, what do I do?
"Stand down for now- I've got Swords of Reveling Light up, so, you're safe."
"Okay." Joey nodded.
"Don't worry Tori," he called. "He'll make sure nothin happens to ya." Bakura let out a 'keh' as he drew his next card.
"I can't do anything with your swords up," he said. "So I'll just pass this turn- but that leaves only two until I can attack again." It was then Yugi's turn to draw. He pulled a card from his deck and smiled.
//You should play that- Joey might be put at ease knowing it's on the field.//
/Right./
"This should make you feel better, Joey," Yugi said. "I play the Flame Swordsman, in attack mode!"
"Flame Swordsman?" asked Tori. "Why him?" Yugi smiled as the fire warrior appeared on the field next to Tori.
"Joey's favorite card." Joey nodded his agreement.
"Yep!" Bakura just rolled his eyes, drew a card and ended his turn.
"One more turn, Yugi," he said. Tori sighed.
"Well," she said. "I feel better... at least I did..." Yugi drew a card and began to smile again.
"You should feel better, Tori," he said, holding up a magic card. "Here's the card I've been waiting on! I play Malevolent Nuzzler and equip it to the Wingweaver." As soon as she was equipped with the card, Tori felt an incredible surge of power rush through her. Her physical appearance didn't change, but you could somehow tell that there was something different. "Wingweaver is now up to 3450," Yugi continued. "More than enough to destroy your Cosmo Queen!" Tori looked up at him and smiled.
"Gotcha!" she said. Tori put her arms out to the side. Then she brought them out in front of her and put them together, so the bottoms of her wrists were touching and her hands made a symmetrical design. Her palms began to glow. "Harmony Blast!" As soon as she said that, a brilliant blue light shot out of her palms, obliterating Bakura's Cosmo Queen.
"No!" Bakura cried, with a low growl.
"Nice job Tori!" Yugi said, approvingly. The girl giggled.
"Thanks, Yugi!" Tori suddenly heard a voice inside her head.
//That was from me too, Bishoujo.//
/*I know, Yami- thanks.*/
1050/950
As Yugi ended his turn, the Swords of Revealing light disappeared, allowing Bakura's monsters to attack once again.
"I drew that card just in time," Yugi commented. "One more turn and that would have been the end." Joey nodded.
"Yeah, tell me about it," he replied. "Whew." Bakura drew a card and began to grin.
"Don't celebrate too soon," he said, as he prepared to played his next card- The Dark Hole. Tori let out a gasp. Joey's eyes went wide.
"Oh no!" Suddenly, Tori disappeared from the field, as did the Flame Swordsman and Bakura's Mystical Elf.
//Bishoujo!//
"No, Tori!" cried Yugi. She was gone. Bakura began to laugh.
"Yugi," said Joey. "You can get her back, right?" Yugi took a deep breath.
"I hope so."
//You will- don't worry.//
/I hope you're right./
//I know I am.// Bakura then played one monster card face down and ended his turn. Yugi drew his card.
"I play Neo, the Magic Swordsman in attack mode and attack your face down monster." Bakura flipped over a Hane-Hane- the monster was destroyed, but Neo was returned to Yugi's hand. He then ended his turn. When Bakura played his turn, he once again played a monster in defense, making Yugi wonder what it was. But he had to draw his next card. He closed his eyes as his hand hovered about his deck.
//Come on, Yugi- trust the heart of the cards... for Tori's sake.// That gave Yugi the boost he needed. He placed his fingers on the top card and slowly revealed it to himself.
"I play Monster Reborn!" he said. "And I use it to bring a monster card back from my graveyard." He smiled. "Be reborn- Wingweaver!" Wingweaver Tori suddenly appeared on the field. She looked around for a moment.
"I'm not dead?" she asked, confused. Then, she brightened up. "Hey! I'm not dead! Yes!" Yami let out a sigh of relief.
//Nice to have you back, Bishoujo.//
/*Nice to be back.*/ Joey sighed with relief as well- that was close.
"Told ya Yugi would make sure nothin happened to ya." he said, still looking really relieved. Tori simply smiled, then looked up at Yugi.
"What do I do now?" she asked.
"Let my magic card do the work," said Yugi as he flipped over an Acid Trap Hole of his own. He thought Bakura would be angry, but instead he smiled. Then Yugi saw why- the face down card had been a Magician of Faith, and would allow Bakura to reclaim a magic card from his graveyard... which he did, but there was no telling which one. But Tori didn't seem to care about that, especially since Yugi then ended his turn.
"I coulda attacked his life points, Yugi!" she said. Yugi said nothing- he was to preoccupied with the magic card Bakura just picked up... and the monster that was played face down. As the card was played both Yami and Yugi sensed something.
"Tori," he said, loudly. "Don't attack that card!" Tori gave him a surprised look- she had heard both Yami and Yugi's voices in that last comment, meaning something was wrong.
"Okay..." she said, confusedly. Joey looked at his friend.
"What's up, Yugi?" Yugi said nothing right then, but played a Beaver Warrior in attack mode.
"Trust me," Yugi said. "Watch- Beaver Warrior, attack his face down monster!" The Beaver Warrior did so, only to reveal a Man-Eater Bug, which destroyed the Beaver Warrior instantly, along with itself.
"Whoa," said Tori. "That would have creamed me for sure..."
//Tell me about it.// Joey nodded.
"Yeah- that was close." Torina looked up at Yugi, a relieved and thankful smile on her face.
"Thanks for the tip, bro." Yugi smiled back.
"No problem, sis." Suddenly, Bakura threw his head back and began to laugh. And laugh loud- it made Tori's stomach turn.
"What do I do, Yugi?" she asked. Before Yugi could reply, Bakura started to speak.
"Your family will be your downfall, Yugi," he said, the smile increasing.
"What are you talking about, Bakura?" Yugi asked, angrily. Bakura chuckled as he put a Magic card- the Change of Heart.
/Oh my God- that's what he brought back from the graveyard./ Yugi heard Tori let out a frightened cry. He looked down at her- her face was covered with terror.
"Yugi!" she cried. "I'm the only one on your side of the field!" Bakura nodded his head like there was no tomorrow.
"Exactly."
"No!" yelled Yugi. "Bakura, let her alone!" Joey clenched his fists together as a look of pure hate covered his face.
"You sick little..." Suddenly, Tori let out another cry, this time one of complete pain. Joey looked down at the field to see her holding her head in her hands- it looked like she was fighting with herself. Slowly, she walked over to Bakura's side of the field, struggling every step of the way, causing Bakura's smile to widened.
"I now control the Wingweaver."
"Joey!" she said, desperately. "Joey, help me!" There was nothing Joey could do though...
"Don't worry, Tori," he said. "It'll be ok."
"I wouldn't count on that," said Bakura. "Now, Wingweaver- attack Yugi Moto's life points!"
"No!" Tori yelled, still trying to fight the presence inside of her. "I won't do it! I WON'T!" Suddenly, she let out another blood curdling scream.
"Tori!" cried Yugi. "Bakura, leave her alone!" Bakura then narrowed his eyes a bit, causing Tori to scream in pain again, this time louder than before.
"You have no choice in the matter, Torina" Bakura said. "Now, DO IT!" Tori looked up at Yugi, tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Yugi." she whispered. Yugi nodded back, causing Tori to shift her gaze towards Joey. "Joey... I love you... Harmony blast!" Smoke filled the field, but nothing happened to either player's life points. When the smoke cleared, the field was empty.
"Tori!" yelled Joey. Bakura was laughing his head off until he looked at the field himself.
"What the...?" he yelled. "Where is she?!" Yugi's jaw dropped.
//What is it, aibou? What happened?//
"Tori, no." he said. There was a pause. "She... she sacrificed herself."
"WHAT?" cried Joey. "Why? Why would she do that?" Yugi shook his head.
"She knew that if I lost, she'd be under Bakura's control forever. I guess she'd rather die than remain on a card in his deck." He looked at Bakura. "I hope your happy." Bakura shrugged.
"In a way I am," he replied. "While my move didn't destroy your life points... it did have one desirable effect."
"WHY YOU LITTLE PUNK!" yelled Joey. "I AUGHTA BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!" Bakura's eyes narrowed.
"Watch what you say, Wheeler, or you will go the same way."
"Whatever, Bakura- just you wait..." Yugi held up a hand, silencing Joey, and took a deep breath.
"You will pay for what you've done, Bakura," he said. Bakura simply laughed as he played a monster face down and ended his turn. Yugi drew a card, then played his Neo the Magic Swordsman in attack mode. "Neo, attack his face down card." Bakura sent his Ancient Elf to the grave yard as Yugi ended his turn. Once again, he only played a monster face down. /I will win this duel- Tori may be gone, but I can still free her soul./ Yugi then drew a card- the Dark Witch.
//You sure you want to play that?//
/Yes, I'm sure./ Yugi remembered that Tori had given him the card, but played it any way. When the monster appeared on the field, he gasped. Joey looked at him, highly concerned.
"Yuge?" he asked. "What's wrong?"
"Joey," came the reply. "Does the Dark Witch have red hair?" Joey shook his head.
"...Not...normally..." Yugi took another deep breath.
"Then... why does she now?" Joey gasped- could it be?
"Tori?" The Dark Witch turned to face him- it was indeed Tori.
"Hi Joey!" she said, happily. "Did you miss me?"
//Tori?! How the...?//
/*Hey, I don't ask questions, especially at times like these!*/
"Tori, you nearly scared me to death!" cried Joey. Tori let out a breathy laugh and shook her head.
"Scared you?! I nearly died a second ago... again!"
"Yeah, but I had to watch!" Bakura let out an angered groan.
"How is she still alive?!" he demanded. "How?!" Yugi began to chuckle- he had a pretty good idea.
"Tori had two favorite cards, remember?" asked Yugi. "When one was destroyed her soul was transferred to the other." Tori smiled.
"Hey, are we gonna finish this or what?" Yugi nodded.
"You better believe it! Neo, attack Bakura's face down card." Neo did as he was told, ironically destroying Bakura's own Neo, the Magic Swordsman. "Rather ironic, I should say," Yugi said with a chuckle. "Now it's your turn, Tori- attack his life points!" Tori nodded.
"You got it Yugi- Black Magic Annihilation!"
1050/0
Bakura's life points disappeared. Joey jumped into the air, excitedly.
"Go Tori!" he said. "Alright!" Yugi nodded as Yami came out of the Millennium Puzzle.
"You made a promise, Bakura," he said. "Let her go." Tori nodded then shot an angered look at Bakura.
"Yeah, ya big creep," she said. "Let me go!" Bakura scowled.
"Fine." he said, as his Millennium Ring began to glow. By the time he had finished the sentence, Tori had disappeared from the field and was back in her own body. When she began to stir, the boys rushed to her side. She opened her eyes.
"Yes!" she exclaimed. "I am back! Yes!" Joey smiled and shook his head.
"Glad to have ya back, Tori-girl," he said. "Although, you did look pretty hot in that Wingweaver costume." Tori instantly began to shake her head.
"Don't go getting any ideas, Joseph Wheeler! I am never wearing anything like that ever again!" There was a pause. "Hey! What about Hikaru?" Suddenly, the Millennia Diamond spirit appeared at her side. Tori smiled happily as she wrapped her arms around the spirit, who instantly returned the embrace.
"I'm right here, aibou," she said. "I'm right here." Yami smiled.
//You have a special girl there, my love.//
//*(Hikaru to Yugi/Tori/Yami) Really? Why's that?*//
//Because when she wraps you in one of her hugs, it makes you feel like the most important person in the world.// Hikaru was about to reply when Tori cut in.
/*Hikaru, did Yami ever call you "Bishoujo?"*/
//*Well, he's called me beautiful before, but never used that exact phrase. Why?*//
/*Just wondering*/ She then looked over at Bakura.
"You be gone all ready- you lost." Bakura scowled.
"I shall depart," he said. "But this won't be the last you've seen of me Yugi."
"Oh, yes it will," said a voice, one that made Tori gasp in fear.
"Uncle Max?!" she cried. Suddenly, he appeared at Bakura's side. They were still in the Shadow Realm- how'd he get here?!
"What the heck?" cried Joey. Pegasus ignored him and looked at Bakura.
"You remember our deal, Bakura," he said. "If you won, you would be relieved of your Hikari- but you lost..." Suddenly, the Millennium Eye began to glow, followed by Bakura falling to the ground. Tori's eyes flared angrily.
"Jerk!" she cried. "What have you done to Ryou!" Pegasus looked at her and smiled.
"The same I should do to you!" Tori's eyes widened, followed by her shielding her face with her arms. "But I won't," he continued. "Your day is coming, Torina Kay Pegasus." With that, he vanished, leaving Tori to wonder where that sudden change of heart came from. She looked at Yugi and Joey.
"That was strange," said Joey. "Even for Pegasus." Tori nodded her agreement.
"I know what you mean, but can we get out of here now? I really want to go home." Yugi smiled and gave a nod.
/Yami, you think you could get us out of here?/
