Chapter 4: The Power Within




Yugi looked down at the ground, his eyes wide in fear. "Well...thats the only way you're going to be able to get the puzzle back...," Bakura said, grinning. "I-I accept...," Yugi said, his voice quivering. "Very well then, we will battle in the Shadow Realm," Bakura said, his voice as cold as ice.

Since Bakura was in Yami's body, he used the millenium puzzle to teleport them there. He closed his eyes as the millenium puzzle began to glow, infusing him with its magic. The darkness radiated from his body, then spread like wild fire as it turned everything in its path dark and cold. "There we go...," Bakura said, smirking. "I'm not gonna like this...," Yugi said in his mind, noting that the darkness was already trying to consume him. "You mustn't give up Yugi...," Yami echoed in Yugi's mind. "I'll try my best Yami...," Yugi replied.

Bakura noticed that Yugi was beginning to grow weak, "Whats the matter boy? Are you getting tired already?" Yugi was indeed getting weaker, his face began to grow pale and black rings were forming under his eyes. "I'm fine...now lets get this over with!" Yugi said, trying to hide how he felt. Bakura then backed away from Yugi, the millenium puzzle beginning to glow, "Are you prepared to face your death child?" "I'm not the one that is gonna fall...its you!" Yugi replied angrily. "Oh, I highly doubt that...," Bakura said, cackling.

As the millenium puzzle began to infuse Bakura with its energies, Yami's body began to change. "Y-Yami?" Yugi stuttered, afraid of what was happening to his dark. "Y-Yugi!" Yami screamed, but was immediatly silenced by Bakura. Suddenly, a huge black wave of energy engulfed Yami's body, dark purple and black lightning shooting everywhere. Once the cloud of darkness faded, Yami's ultimate form was shown. He had large, black demon wings with red on the tips, and his skin became a deathly pale. But what scared Yugi the most was Yami's eyes. Yami's eyes were blood red, making Yugi cringe in fear. "I hope you are ready...," Bakura said, his voice echoing throughout the whole realm. "What do I do?" Yugi asked in his mind. "You must unlock your true powers!" Yami said, his voice echoing in Yugi's mind. "I don't know how!" Yugi yelled back. "You can do it Yugi...I believe in you!" Yami yelled, his voice fading away.

"I-I'm ready...," Yugi said. "Good...," Bakura said, before disappearing. Yugi tried to find him, but it was too late. Bakura slammed his elbow into Yugi's back, sending him across the room. Yugi shakily pushed himself on his hands and knees, gasping for air as he quivered uncontrollably. "Yugi!" Yami tried to yell out, but failed as Bakura took over again. "How am I suppose to unlock my powers?" Yugi asked in his mind. "How long is it going to take for you to get up!?" Bakura yelled impatiently. Yugi slowly stood up, his breathing labored, and sweat began to drip down his face. "I-I'm not finished yet...," Yugi said, gasping for breath. "Hmpf...you won't give up will you child?" Bakura said, smirking. "I'll never give up...," Yugi replied. "In that case, lets finish this!" Bakura yelled as he disappeared again. "Where did he go now!?" Yugi yelled nervously in his mind.

Without Yugi noticing, Bakura appeared behind him. He spread his hands out right infront of Yugi's back, black energy charging into the palms of his hands. Yugi's eyes went wide as he turned around to face Bakura. "Ah...even better!" Bakura yelled as he realeased the energy wave. The assault hit Yugi point-blank in the chest, causing him to fly backwards. Yugi's back slammed against the floor, making blood spew out of his mouth. "Ooo that had to hurt...," Bakura said, cackling. Yugi's slowly managed to stand back up, rage was building up inside of him. "I...can't...take it anymore!" Yugi screamed as he began to glow gold. "Whats this?" Bakura asked nervously. "You will pay for what you did!" Yugi shouted, his voice beginning to echo. Bakura stepped back nervously, "No...it can't be!"
