A/N: Okay, the final battle begins! I've been noticing the edgy feeling my story had in the beginning has been missing in the recent chapters. This chapter, the story returns to it's roots! And next chapter, the longer chapters return! Oh, and reading over Shonen Jump I realized I got the card games name wrong. It's "Magic and Wizards", not "Wizards and Magic" I will go over the chapters later and fix errors when this story is finished. Oh, and either this or chapter 12 might be the last chapter I write for now. Chapter 13 will probably be posted at a later date. Reason: My grades…

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Shadow Games Saga
Duel 11: Warriors (Part 1)
"That Burger Man sure was good!" Jonouchi exclaimed.
"Yup…" said everyone except Kaiba.
"I hate burgers…" Kaiba said.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Ha!" Dark Bakura yelled. "I knew it!!! But I bore of this… Play time is over… Time for the real game to begin…" He pressed a button, and the heroes appeared. Yugi was no longer a girl. "What is this?!" Kaiba yelled.
Dark Bakura smiled. "Oh, this? All that you went through in the Room of Doom was an illusion! The girl Yugi, the mouse, the maze, the carnival…"
Kaiba grabbed Dark Bakura's shirt and picked him up. "You put us through all that for nothing?! I'll tear you apart!!"
Dark Bakura glared. "I wouldn't do that if I were you…" The Millennium Ring flashed, and when the flash subsided, Kaiba was a card.
Mokuba cried out. "Seto!!!"
"You damn bastard…" Jonouchi hissed.
The Ring flashed again. Jonouchi and Mokuba were cards.
"No!" Yugi yelled. "Seto Kaiba! Mokuba! Jonouchi!"
One by one, Dark Bakura turned them into cards. Miho. Honda. Anzu. Yugi. Their souls trapped in cards. The only one who remained was Dark Yugi. He looked around confusedly and then glared at Dark Bakura. "What have you done to my friends, Bakura?!"
"Pharaoh… Let's play a game… If you have any guts." Dark Bakura replied calmly.
"A… game?"
"Don't tell me the great King of Games is scared of a challenge! C'mon, Pharaoh! It will be fun!"
"… What are the rules?"
Dark Bakura picked up all the Soul Cards. "This will be a card game similar to Magic and Wizards, only we will be playing with souls…"
"Still twisted as ever…"
"… Anyway, you will play with all the good guys…" Dark Bakura said as he gave him the Soul Cards and additional cards. "… And I will be the bad guys!"
"What?!"
"I have the souls of all the people you defeated recently, except Kaiba. I promised them revenge… And just maybe they will get it…"
"You are more sick and twisted than I could ever imagine…"
"Aw, I'm touched… If you win, I let you and your friends go… But if I win… I keep your Puzzle and all your souls!"
"…Fine then… Let's play!"
"Good… I'll let you go first…"
They both set up their decks. Dark Yugi thought to himself as he looked through his cards. This is it…This is what all this leads to… If I don't win this, I've failed myself… and my friends… But what do I do? I've lost two games in a row… What if I lose this one?…
"Times a-wasting Pharaoh… Make your move already!" Dark Bakura whined impatiently.
Dark Yugi ignored him. He smiled as he realized something. Wait, I can do this! All I have to do is believe my friends, and I can do anything! Together, we will win this, or together we fall! One thing is for sure… Bakura's reign of terror will not continue on like this! Even if I fall, someone will one day defeat him! Dark Yugi saw a Bakura card. What is this?! Bakura in the hero deck? Oh, now I see…This is the true Bakura! The innocent soul that was consumed by evil! Now, I feel I am ready. There is no turning back… Dark Yugi looked to Dark Bakura. "I am ready, Bakura!" He shuffled his deck.
Dark Bakura smirked. "Good…" He shuffled his deck.
They then cut the decks and returned them to their owners. They then set the cards on the field. This was it. The final duel between good and evil. The Pharaoh and the Tomb Raider. They each drew their hands. Then Dark Yugi drew a card. He smiled. "Get ready Bakura… The King of Games is coming back…"
GAME START!
To Be Continued…
