Ryou grew tired of Dekai's magic. Yami helped Yugi off the ground. He drew his next card. It was the magical box. (I dunno) There was one way to use it

"Ryou! Get the change of heart!" He yelled

"Now is not a good time to get all high and mighty, Pharaoh!" Ryou shot back

"Trust me!"

He drew his change of heart. "Now what?!" Ryou stared down at his card then into Yami's eyes. He understood. "Change of heart bring me back my Magical white hat!"The magic card entered its body it was now in charge.

"Now! I use the magical box to seal my Dark Magician!" Yami yelled "Then scouring it with swords." He smiled at what happened next. DING! (10) A box then formed around Dekai.

"What's going on?" He yelled

The next thing that emerged from the untouched box was the Dark Magician. Inside the other Dekai was slain by the swords. Blood dripped from him. Dripping onto the dirt ground below.

"You may have stopped me, but you haven't managed to save your friend." He laughed maniacally and disappeared into the wind. Ryou and the others immediately ran to Bakura. DING! (11) Time was almost up.

Ryou picked Bakura's head up off the ground. Their eyes met. Bakura's began to look empty. As Ryou's was filled with anger and worry.

"I didn't mean to worry you." Bakura said weakly

Ryou knew he had to do something. He couldn't lose him. After the times he had beat him into nothing, he felt like he should be kicked in the gut. Ryou placed his hands over Bakura's face. Bakura's eyes began to droop into sleep. DING! (12) For Bakura everything went black.

Yugi, Tea, Tristan, and Joey were on their way to the first day of school. When, as he promised, Makio and his friends showed up. His friends dealt with Joey and Tristan. As Makio raised Yugi off the ground and tore the puzzle away from his neck, Tea tried to push him off. Being the weak girl she is Makio would just shove her down.

"No older brother to help yous now runt." Makio grunted

This was true without the puzzle Yami couldn't get out. There'd be a mental black between the two of their minds. His friends were preoccupied so he knew they couldn't help him. This was going to hurt.

"Leave him alone Makio!" A British voice demanded

"Well, well, well. If it ain't pretty boy. Been hiding at home for the past two weeks have ya?"

"I said leave them alone."

Bakura never really stood up for himself or anyone for the matter. He'd just take the beating as if a pop quiz.

Makio ignored the scrawny child and was about to knock Yugi's lights out when..

"I SAID LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU OVERGROWN APE!" Bakura yelled

"Ape? That's it yous just jumped up ta the front of da line." He raised his hand and brought it down with all his strength onto Bakura. Yugi looked away. He couldn't watch his friend get killed. As he looked up after hearing no yell of agony he saw that Bakura caught the punch that surely could've broken a few ribs. Bakura pushed Makio's arm backwards as hard as he could and Makio fell over. Bakura stepped over the body and over to Yugi's puzzle. He picked it up and handed it to him. Yugi was on the ground exactly where Makio had dropped him. Bakura helped him up and he went on his way to school.

"Wait Bakura! What the heck was dat?" Joey asked is total shock

"When I woke up this morning I felt better. Must've been from the crystal moon." Bakura answered

"But that was weeks ago man." Tristan added

"Yes but I haven't been awake the during the other weeks." Bakura smiled and seemed happier than usual

Yugi and his friends brushed off Bakura's newfound strength and happiness. They just were glad that he had returned to them full spirited.
