Betrayal Chapter 4
'Let's duel!" Yugi, Joey, and Amanda all yelled at the same time. Daniel, Ray, and Malik just nodded their heads.
"And I play this card face down in defensive mode," Yugi said. "And also, I place these 2 cards face down."
"I play Oni Tank in attack. Oni Tank, ATTACK!" Ray yelled, shooting a cannon ball out and reveling Yugi's face down card, Mystical Elf. She lifted her hands and sent the cannon ball flying back and smashing into a floating 2000, bringing Ray's life points down to 1300. "Damn you!"
"Now I play 3 cards face down and use Exchange!" Amanda yelled, having only one card in her hand, Jirai Gumo. A image of their cards appeared on the field. Amanda chose, Exodia the Forbidden One from his hand and Malik was forced to take Jirai Gumo. They placed the cards onto the field and the squares flipped and were swapped.
"My move," Joey said, drawing a card. "Here we go! I play the Red Eyes Black Dragon!"
"I play this card face down in defense and I end my turn," Daniel said.
"I play Lord of D. that I got from Danny and attack with Red Eyes!" Joey yelled. The face down card turned out to be Man Eater Bug.
"And I destroy your Lord of D. with the effects of Man Eater Bug!" Daniel yelled.
"Not if I use D.N.A Surgery," Joey said. "And now, he is part Dragon, which renders your Man Eater Bug's effect useless," Joey said. (Incase you were wondering, he got some of these cards from the booster packs he won from Danny earlier.)
"And I use Dian Keto the Cure Master raising my life points to 2600," Yugi said. "And I play Bell of Destruction on my Dark Magician, forcing us both to lose 2500 life points, bringing mine down to 100 and yours to 0!"
A ring circled Dark Magician and shot out the number 2500 at their life points, bringing Ray's to 0 and Yugi's to 100. The bell rang and Ray left the arena and walked up the stairs. Yugi collected the locket from Danny and sat down beside Téa.
"For my final move, I play Buster Blader! And since I had D.N.A Surgery throughout most of the game, his attack is increased by 1500 and increased by 500 more for that one monster you have on the field. Now he has 4600 and I use Stop Defense and force your monster into attack!" Joey yelled. Daniel flipped over his Rainbow Flower and was destroyed by Buster Blader, making the score 600-0. The bell rang once more and Daniel left as Joey collected Metalzoa and sat down at the bench.
Amanda and Malik were still in the middle of their duel, with the life points at a tie of 1300-1300 by pulling off magic card after magic card.
"GATE GUARDIAN!!" Amanda yelled in shock.
"Gate Guardian, attack Thunder Dragon!" Malik yelled.
"Not so fast!" Amanda yelled, flipping over the Spell Binding Circle.
"Curse you!" he yelled, slamming his fist onto the table.
"Now it's my turn!" she yelled. She drew a card and threw down Machine King. "I play Machine King in attack mode and use Germ Infection on Gate Guardian, making him lose 300 attack each and every turn."
"I have no choice but to play this card face down," he said.
"My turn again," she said. "First, I play Reverse Trap and then I use Axe of Despair on your Gate Guardian, decreasing his attack 2450 and then I use Megamorph, decreasing your attack even more to 1225! And for my final move, I play D.N.A Surgery and change all monsters into Machine, destroying Germ Infection but increasing my Machine King's attack to 2700. Machine King, attack!"
"NO!" he yelled.
"I WON!" Amanda yelled, jumping off the arena.
"How could a simple human beat me?" he asked himself in a hoarse whisper.
"I'm sorry Mr. Ishtar, but you will have to give up your cards and item," Danny said. Malik dropped the Millennium Item and then disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving 2 cards behind. Amanda picked up the things and slowly picked up the Rod.
"Here you go, Danny," Amanda said.
"NO! DON'T!" Yugi yelled.
"What? Why?" Amanda asked.
"If he gets that item, he will rule, and possibly destroy, the world," Seto said.
"He is evil," Yugi said.
"I am not evil," Danny said, walking towards them.
"Sure your not," Seto said, pulling out a card from his pocket and throwing it onto the arena. The arena scanned the card and an image appeared on the arena of Danny, snatching the Millennium Puzzle and disappearing, with a dark look on his face.
"You do not understand...." Danny said. He moved his hand and the image changed. "Here is what you didn't see."
Danny appeared in the middle of the desert by some man. He turned and looked at Danny.
"I am Shadi," he said.
"And I want your Millennium Items!" Danny growled.
"Then take it," he responded, inserting the Millennium Key into his forehead. "This man is possessed!" he thought. He found Yami Bakura and placed him onto the scale. Shadi removed his heart and placed it onto the other side.
"What are you up to?" he yelled.
"I am Shadi, and your heart is full of sins!" Shadi yelled, seeing the heart was heavier then Yami Bakura himself. A monster appeared from the abyss devoured the guilt and then disappeared, making Yami Bakura pure and innocent. They returned outside Danny's mind.
"I am sorry for Bakura, Mr. uh.... Shadi...." Danny said. "Listen, I need you to do me a favor..."
Danny went up close to Shadi and whispered something in his ear and Shadi nodded, handing him his Millennium Items.
"Thank you," Danny said, disappearing into thin air and reappearing at a digging.
"Mrs. Ishtar! I must speak with you!" Danny yelled, jumping down the tomb.
"I have been waiting for you," she said, holding out her Millennium Necklace.
"Then you know...?" Danny asked.
"I know all I need to know," she said.
"I'll stop him."
"I am not worried about that, I am worried about what may happened when these items are joined..."
The image then stopped. Everyone looked stunned, and even those who knew about the Millennium Items were, were amazed.
"But that does not explain what you want with the Millennium Items," Yugi said.
"I can explain that," the man said, stepping outside.
"And you would be...??" Seto asked.
"Why, Kaiba-Boy, I thought you would recognize my voice by now," Pegasus said, still hidden in the shadows.
"Why are you hidden in the shadows?" Seto said, questioning Pegasus, who he still did not trust.
"Ah yes, the ever paranoid Seto," Pegasus said.
"I'm afraid without his eye, any light pains him greatly," Danny said. "Please, you must trust us, we are doing what's right."
Danny took off his necklace and placed it onto the table. It separated into 5 different items again. Yugi nodded and handed the Millennium Rod.
"So does that mean you give up your Millennium Puzzle willingly?" Danny asked. Yugi nodded once again. He lifted up Malik's Millennium Item and it began to glow. The 5 other items began to spin around it like it was caught in orbit.
"It has begun...." Shadi said to himself in Egypt while the sky turned pitch black and the ground shook.
"Good luck...." Isis said to herself as the wind blew, blowing sand everywhere and the pyramids shook.
"Should have been me...." Malik said on his boat. The wind blew violently, blowing his boat and a thunder storm erupted.
"They have done it...." Bakura said, walking down the streets as the sky turned pitch black and a thunder storm brewed.
The items connected together to form the Millennium Wand. Danny lifted the Wand and looked at it closely.
"Do you have the card?" Danny asked Pegasus. Pegasus nodded and handed him the card with his dear wife's soul within.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Yugi asked.
"Of course. Yami Bakura knows everything about the past," Danny said.
"What will happen to the Millennium Items after you are finished?" Seto asked.
"They will separate and return to their owners."
"Can we please start?" Pegasus asked anxiously. Danny nodded and lifted up the Millennium Item.
"With Bakura's Millennium Ring, I bring this card to life!" Danny yelled, pointing the Wand down at the card.
The triangles on the Wand floated and started to glow (like the triangles on the Millennium Ring when it sensed other Millennium Items around). Pegasus' wife stepped out of the card and stood there, but barely, like a bad projection or hologram, fading out every now and then. Pegasus' eye widened and watered as he saw his long lost wife once more.
"With Shadi's Millennium Key, I release your mind!" Danny yelled. Danny pointed the top of the Wand at her head and it began to glow, sending a blast of light and wind in her face.
"With Shadi's Millennium Scale, I release the guilt from your heart!" Danny yelled, pointing the Wand at her heart, sending another blast of light and wind at her.
"With Yugi's Millennium Puzzle, I send the Darkness that shrouds your mind and heart to the Shadow Realm!" Danny yelled, pointing a Eye on the side of the Wand at her heart.
"With Isis' Millennium Necklace, I return your memories of your past!" Danny yelled, pointing a Eye on the opposite side of the Wand at her forehead, and a tear ran down her cheek.
"With Pegasus' Millennium Eye, I return your soul from the Shadow Realm!" Danny yelled, pointing a Eye on the top of the Wand at her heart.
"And with the Millennium Crystal, I bring back your life with the sacrifice of mine!" Danny said softly, his eyes hidden in shadow and his hands shaking.
"WHAT!" everyone yelled, at least those who weren't in shock, including Pegasus.
Danny pointed the bottom of the Millennium Wand on himself and stabbed himself in the heart, his golden blood leaking out onto the Wand until it was covered in it, Danny gasping for air.
"And with my soul.... I resurrect you.... from the dead!" Danny yelled, out of breath. He pointed the top of the Wand at her and shot a bright golden light at her. Everyone shut their eyes, the light too bright to stand, especially for Pegasus. The light lasted for a second and they soon opened their eyes to find Pegasus' wife, Cecelia standing there and a thick thing of smoke where Danny was.
"Oh my dear Cecelia !!" he yelled, running up to her and hugging her and lifting her into the air. Everyone stood there, still in shock.
"And with the Millennium Item, I return what once was gone...." Danny said, now blurred like Cecelia was earlier. He faded out and Yugi found the Millennium Puzzle around his neck once again, and Pegasus had his Millennium Eye back in his eye socket, but then it changed, to look like his same old eye.
"Your as I always remembered you," she said, looking deep into Pegasus' eyes.
"And what of Danny?" Téa asked.
"I'll return him," a boy said from behind them.
"Who----?" Pegasus asked, turning around.
"TOM!" Yugi yelled. Tom walked up to where Danny was and picked up a card on the floor. He also found the Millennium Ring and Rod on the floor. The two pieces connected and the Ring floated around the middle of the Circle part of the Millennium Rod.
"And with the Millennium Ring, I return your body," Tom said softly. The Ring began to spin faster and faster, making a faint chime as it collided with the Rod. The card began to glow.
"And with the Millennium Rod, I free your spirit!" Tom yelled, stabbing the card, sending out a bright thing of light. Danny's body appeared from the card.
"What? Where am I?" Danny said.
"Danny!" they yelled.
"Who?" he said, looking around.
"He doesn't remember..." Joey said.
"Danny, do you remember me? You adopted me a few days ago..." Tom said.
"I think I do...." Danny said.
"Maybe this will help," Tom said, handing him the Millennium Rod/Ring. Danny took the Millennium Rod and held it in his hands and it turned bright, turning to crystal.
"The Crystal Rod," Danny said.
"You remember!" Téa yelled.
"So do I, I remember everything..." Yami Yugi said. "And this is not the end..."
YES IT IS!!! THE END!!!!
