Part two
Q/N: Okay, Okay, I need to put one thing straight. I love Bakura as much as the next person. He's a sweetie and he's British too. So don't think I'm deliberately trying to hurt him cos I'm not. He is British like me, and I do not hurt my fellow Brits. Anyways, on to next bit!
Chapter Two Reign of Terror
/What do you mean Yami? I'm in no danger here! / Yugi reassured Yami. //That's where you're wrong Yugi! The Millennium Ring! Bakura has it! // Yami exclaimed. /Impossible! He just said he doesn't have it! / //He won't recall getting it back! His Yami, Yami B, will prevent him from knowing! Let me assume control here Yugi! // /No! I won't let you hurt Bakura! He hasn't done anything! / //It is for that reason that I must take over for now Yugi. I can't let Yami B get away with what he's doing to Bakura! // /All right./ Yugi surrendered and allowed Yami to take control of his body. The group watched on in amazement. Yami was now in control, while Yugi watched and waited. "You have that Millennium Ring again don't you?" Yami asked Bakura sternly. Bakura stared at him in amazement. "I.I don't know what you're talking about! I don't have it anymore!" Bakura exclaimed. "Yeah, I threw that thing as far away as I could!" Tristan added. Yami looked over at Tristan. "Tristan listen to me, although your intention was good, there is no way that the Millennium Ring can leave its host until it wants to," Yami said. Tristan's eyes widened. "So.you must be Yami." Joey said slowly. Yami nodded. He then turned to Bakura, his expression growing angrier. "Yami B show yourself to me! I know you're there, so you can't hide anymore!" he yelled angrily. The Millennium Ring appeared around Bakura's neck and began to glow. Bakura's facial expression changed from tranquil to dark. He rose to his feet to face Yami. "My dear Pharaoh." Yami B sneered. "How ever did you guess that it was me again?" Yami frowned as Yami B smiled wickedly. "I can distinguish your handiwork from a mile off," Yami retorted. Yami B folded his arms and continued to sneer evilly at Yami. "I see.you know what's going to happen now, don't you? This world is going to be engulfed by the power and darkness of the Shadow Realm! With the Shadow Realm overcome by the power of Shadow Genesis, there is no way anything you throw at me will prevail!" he started to laugh maniacally. Yami clenched his fists in anger. There was no way Yami B was going to use Bakura to conduct his sick twisted little scheme. "You're wrong!" Yami yelled. Yami B stopped laughing. "I know exactly how I can stop you and Shadow Genesis from destroying this world! I've beaten the likes of you before, Grave Robber!" Yami B started to get infuriated with Yami's cockiness. "A Grave Robber I may be, but this simple Grave Robber has control over a poor innocent little human boy, and as long as it stays that way, then you won't lay a finger on me!" /Yami! Do something! We can't let that jerk harm Bakura! / Yugi pleaded desperately for a way to save his friend. //What can I do now Yugi? What? If I try anything it may hurt, or even kill Bakura! I can't risk that. // Yami explained. He could tell that this news had upset Yugi. All Yugi wanted was to protect his friends and family, and because of Yami B, this was impossible. "I'll be going now, you all have so much to think about," Yami B sneered. He released his control over Bakura, but with a devastating effect. Bakura collapsed. Yami darted forward and grabbed him before he fell. "Bakura? Bakura are you all right?" Yami asked, gently shaking the unconscious boy. There was no response. Yami panicked. "Bakura? Bakura? Bakura! Bakura!" he pleaded for Bakura to wake up, but to no avail. "Is Bakura OK?" Téa asked. Yami shook his head. He could feel tears in his eyes, knowing that he could've done something to save Yugi's friend. "Yami?" she asked, noticing his tears. "Are you.all right?" "His soul has been crushed," Yami replied. By the tone of his voice, everyone could tell he felt responsible. Joey patted him on the back. "Hey man, there was nothing you could do," Joey said. "Remember, Yugi's soul got crushed once and you got him back, right? You can do the same for Bakura!" Yami looked up at Joey. He could tell Joey meant what he said. Yami forced a smile onto his face. "Thank you Joey, tell that to Yugi, when he gets back," Yami said. Joey nodded. Yami freed his control and let Yugi back. Yugi still cradled Bakura's lifeless body. "There's nothing more we can do here," Yugi said. He laid Bakura down. "Yami B is going to take over his body again, now that his soul has been crushed." Yugi kept his head low, still feeling Yami's guilt. He then raised it; his look changed from guilt-stricken to determined. "But we're gonna get Bakura back! We're gonna stop Yami B and we're gonna end this Genesis nightmare once and for all!" everyone nodded in agreement. It was settled. The fate of this world and of Bakura now rested in their hands.

"Hey Dark, any word from the Pharaoh yet?" the Celtic Guardian asked. The Dark Magician sat up and shook his head. "Nope, none," he sighed. "I guess.he's rallied support on that side." "What's the report here then?" from out of the shadows Yami appeared. The Dark Magician stood up. "How many did we lose? Did you find Monster Reborn?" "We've located the Monster Reborn magic card, and we only lost a few monsters," Celtic replied. "How many is a few?" Yami asked, scanning his vision across from Dark to Celtic, waiting for an answer. "We lost the Red Eyes Black Dragon, Curse of Dragon, Feral Imp, Silver Fang and Magician of Faith, that's it," Dark replied eventually. Yami closed his eyes thoughtfully and nodded. "We need the Red Eyes and the Magician of Faith back the most, use the Monster Reborn to bring back the Mage, then use her special ability to restore the Red Eyes, and we may as well restore the others if we can," Yami replied. "Yugi has said he will help, but we'll have to find a way into the human realm for you, as that is where the fighting will mainly be based." "Wow, we're gonna get to go to the Human realm!" Celtic said excitedly. "I could open up a gate to the Shadow Realm using my magic." Yami added thoughtfully. "I'll see what Yugi says. I'll contact you as soon as I can." Yami then turned and promptly left. "He never chooses to stick around for too long does he?" Celtic said, turning to Dark. "But I suppose he has a lot to do.a lot on his mind right now as well." "Going out into the actual human world will be so strange.being outside of the Duelling arena will definitely be fun!" Dark added, smiling. Celtic put his hands behind his head and grinned. "We're gonna get to live! A life outside of Duel Monsters.wow." Celtic began to slip into a happy daydream before a loud explosion knocked him back to reality. "Genesis?" "Has to be. It can continue to fight alone here, but it needs a human host in the human realm," Dark replied, arming his staff. "Let's roll Dark," Celtic said, preparing to engage himself once more into the never-ending waltz of combat.

"Yugi, are you all right?" Grandpa asked, watching Yugi as he stared helplessly through the glass into the small hospital room. Bakura lay defenceless in a hospital bed, with nothing to do but hope Yami B left him alone. "I wish.I wish I could've done something to stop this happening!" Yugi cried. Grandpa went over to Yugi and put his hand on his shoulder. "It's all right Yugi, there was nothing you could've done for Bakura. Just let it go now." Grandpa reassured him. /Everything's going to change now, isn't it? / Yugi said sadly to Yami. //Yes Yugi.I'm afraid that's how it goes. // Yami replied. Yugi continued to watch over Bakura. /Was there.anything we could've done to help him? / Yugi asked again. The last answers Yami had given him hadn't satisfied him at all. Yami sighed. //I'm sorry Yugi.the answer remains the same. // Yami replied. Yugi felt tears come to his eyes as he continued to look at Bakura. "Yugi, we should go now," Grandpa said finally. "I think it's too much for you staying here." Grandpa lead Yugi towards the exit. Yugi glimpsed quickly at Bakura one last time, to reassure himself that he did what he could, before accepting leaving. As he walked home with his Grandpa, a cold jolt leapt through Yugi's heart. /Yami what was that? / Yugi asked, clutching his chest. //That is the feeling you get when a close friend is lost to darkness // Yami replied. /Yami B.he's. / Yugi didn't even want to say it. He knew what was happening. Yami B had just taken Bakura's defenceless body once again and was going to do god knows what. Yugi looked up at the once pale sky. It was now coated with thick black clouds. Another storm, most likely. But this time, this one was going to last a lot longer than a few hours. This was no quick fix. This was serious.
Oh no! Poor Bakura! ;_; poor lil sweetie. What'll happen now? What can Yugi do to rescue his friend from a threat he doesn't know? Find out next time!
