Inside the underground temple...
The Magician of Illusion or the spirit of Priest Mahado appears to protect the Pharaoh. Bakura feels very furious. It isn't possible for Pharaoh to summon Gods without a millennium puzzle. However, Priest Mahado's Ba, is a free spirit coming out whenever to save Pharaoh. The Pharaoh is very surprised if he is the true spirit of Priest Mahado.
Priest Mahado: (speaking to the Pharaoh) Stand up my Prince, I am a spirit that is able to move only by your desire. You must continue fighting.
Pharaoh: My will to fight has perished. What Bakura has ever said about an evil and justice at the royal palace, Bakura said the truth for a change. My dad sacrificed people for justice and peace for the kingdom. But I am still very confused.
Priest Mahado: Pharaoh Akunumkanon never realized the initiation of the millennium items. He understood everything about how the millennium items had been created and also felt darkness inside the millennium ring. When I became a millennium ring holder and a Priest, I sealed the evil of the millennium ring and told Pharaoh Akunumkanon the whole story. Of course, Pharaoh Akunumkanon had suffered and had been ill until he passed away. it is my fault. If I hadn't told the previous Pharaoh about that story, the Pharaoh wouldn't have died so quickly. But you must remember that the desire of your father was to bring peace to the kingdom which has remained and descended upon him. If he leaves the millennium items to Bakura, the world as well as the kingdom will be brought into darkness.
Bakura lets a lot of flying spirits strike the Pharaoh and Priest Mahado. The Pharaoh understands everything now and he is ready to fight in the name of the king. The spirits are all reflected and disappeared by the magic power of Priest Mahado. Bakura releases his great spirit beast, Diabound. The Pharaoh is much amazed when he sees Diabound which has much more power than when it first attacked the royal palace and when he came back to the palace again.
Bakura: The power increase comes from the power of stolen millennium ring and millennium puzzle.
Pharaoh: ( speaking to Priest Mahado) Be cautious of Diabound's ability of copying any enemy's ability against which it ever strikes.
Diabound begins attacking by using Thunder Force of Osiris. Priest Mahado can defense itself by his magic power to open a small-whirl dimension and absorb Diabound's attack.
Pharaoh: ( speaking to Priest Mahado) Diabound also has another ability which is passing through the walls.
Behind Bakura, another small-whirl dimension appears. The Power of Diabound is absorbed into the first whirl dimension and it is released from the second whirl dimension. The attack misses Bakura but destroys a pole instead. Bakura thinks that Priest Mahado's attack fails. The Pharaoh lets him see it again. The pole is collapsing upon the tablet of millennium items. Bakura lets Diabound hold it up. That is what the Pharaoh is waiting for. While Diabound is protecting the tablet, it can't hide itself into the wall and it cannot even protect itself.
Pharaoh: This stone will be your grave Bakura.
Then, Priest Mahado fully attacks Diabound by magic power. The thief Bakura is much hurt.
Meanwhile....
At the palace...
Nadia has lost it and is running around worried and scared about what might happen to them. Namu slaps her to calm her down and she is finally calm. Nafatiri is keeping watch outside with Teania.
Teania: I can feel that the darkness is present.
Nafatiri: Really?
Teania: Yes, really. I hope everyone makes it out safely.
Nafatiri: What if they don't?
Teania: Then we will deal with it if something does happen. We must keep our hopes up and pray for them. I wish I could be by his side then I know everything will be okay. I will feel much safer and calmer in his arms.
Nafatiri: Who the hell are you talking about?
Teania: Someone. It is not important anyway.
Nafatiri: Well since we are speaking our minds now I must tell that I worry about you. Sometimes I think you are lost in another world of your own.
Teania: I am fine really.
Nafatiri: Whatever, if you say so.
Back to the Battle...
While Diabound is holding the collapsing pole and is unable to protect itself, it is strongly attacked by Priest Mahado. The Pharaoh urges Priest Mahado to continue attacking while Diabound still can't save itself. Priest Mahado starts attacking with his magic power. Bakura lets Diabound use the pole like a shield to block Priest Mahado's strike. At this point, the anger and power of Diabound is up to the maximum level. Bakura didn't expect the millennium item tablet to be the target. It is an important factor of exchanging a contract with Zork for gaining dark power.
Bakura can't let it be destroyed. He has also realized that Diabound can't fight and protect the stone tablet at the same time. So by power of the millennium items Bakura is holding, he summons two Ka's to protect the tablet. Priest Shadah hardly believes that Bakura is great enough to summon two Ka at one time. Bakura activates the special ability of Diabound called Camouflage of Darkness or hiding itself inside the darkness. Diabound's appearance disappears and merges with the darkness. The Pharaoh and Priest Mahado try to figure out where Diabound is.
It can exist everywhere, even the wall of the floor around the underground temple. Priest Shadah has an idea in which he uses his millennium key to a summon Ka called the twin headed jackal warrior with his special ability he is able to find out the position of the enemy hiding inside the wall. Suddenly, the twin headed jackal warrior throws a blade with a chain straight to one side of the wall. Bakura tells him that he gets the correct position.
The top body of Diabound appears and catches the blade. The Pharaoh lets Priests Mahado attack at once while the target still remains. Bakura tells him that it is too late. Diabound has been ready for attacking it first. There is the bottom part of Diabound in the form of a snake coming out from behind the Pharaoh. It releases Thunder Force straight to him from his back. Priest Shadah lets the twin headed jackal warrior protect Pharaoh and block the attack while he jumps to move the Pharaoh out of way. The twin headed jackal warrior is then destroyed. Priest Shadah is hurt.
He tries to tell Pharaoh to run away. Diabound starts camouflaging into the darkness again. The Pharaoh lets Priest Mahado randomly attack the ceiling. Bakura reminds him that it isn't effective to attack randomly without an exact target. A shadow of Diabound hiding inside the darkness is moving closer behind the Pharaoh again. Bakura is certain that this must be the end of the Pharaoh. However, the Pharaoh tells him that now he knows the position of Diabound. Bakura is surprised when he sees Diabound's appearance coming out because of the light shining through the ceiling of the underground temple. The Pharaoh reminds him that he didn't let Priest Mahado attack without reasons but he intended to create the holes on the ceiling for the light that is able to shine down. Priest Mahado quickly attacks again. He then releases his dark magic power toward Diabound.
Back to the palace...
As Teania is sitting down outside of the palace keeping watch over it with her sister Nafatiri, Teania is suddenly getting a bad feeling and she starts seeing these visions of Akeyana fighting Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, Anak-su-na-mun, and Anak-su-ha-me. She then saw the Priests come to help Akeyana and all of their Ka's were destroyed. Then she saw a dark cloud form around Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, Anak-su-na-mun, and Anak-su-ha-me and there souls were sucked out and these evil creatures were feeding on their corpses. When Teania saw this vision she immediately vomited and started crying. Nafatiri went to go get some servants to clean up the vomit and she helped Teania to her feet so that she could go to her room and lie down.
As Teania lied down in her room, Nafatiri went to inform Namu and Nadia. She returns with them and a cold cloth to put across her forehead.
Inside Teania's room...
Nadia: What happened Teania?
Teania: I had this horrible and disgusting vision of Akeyana and Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, Anak-su-na-mun, and Anak-su-ha-me.
Nafatiri: You had a vision of those 4 hell raisers.
Namu: That's very weird. Is Akeyana alright? Maybe these visions you are having is a sign for you.
Nadia: I think so too.
Teania: Well, I'll tell you what I saw, but it was very graphic. Are you guys sure you want to hear it?
Nadia: I know I am sure. I have a pretty strong stomach.
Namu: Me too.
Nafatiri: Well, I don't but I still want to hear it anyway.
Teania: Okay, then. My vision was of Akeyana, Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, Anak-su-na-mun, and Anak-su-ha-me fighting each other. Akeyana was wining but the last 2 Ka's were hard to beat for her since she only had 1 monster. You guys already know that the Priests were on there way to Kuruelna right? They stopped to help Akeyana defeat them and as soon as they defeated Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, Anak-su-na-mun, and Anak-su-ha-me, a dark cloud formed around the 4 girls and there souls were taken. Then this dark cloud let out these ugly looking creatures that looked like they came straight out of hell and they devoured Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, Anak-su-na-mun, and Anak-su-ha-me bodies.
There was silence for a few moments after Teania said that. Even though they hated them, that was the worst punishment inflicted on those girls.
Nadia: What kind of sick ass bastard would do such a thing?
Namu: Hades.
Nafatiri: I thought Hades was just a myth.
Namu: You are sadly mistaken. After hearing this it is clear to me that Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, Anak-su-na-mun, and Anak-su-ha-me couldn't have survived out in the desert without making a deal with Hades. I believe they made a deal with him and they were probably headed toward the palace to kill us as Akeyana was returning. They lost the battle and Hades is not a person who shows mercy to anyone. Therefore, they died.
Nafatiri: Goodness gracious. I hated them but I didn't want them to go out like that.
Nadia: Mean either.
Teania: It was so scary and sad I just had to cry. They would have been better off if they did not argue with us constantly than we wouldn't have to go through this bullshit.
Teania hits the wall and begins to cry even more. Nadia sits on the bed with her and gives her a hug.
Nadia: It will be okay. Just pray that they have gone to heaven.
Namu: Maybe there is a way to get there souls back.
Nafatiri: I hope so. But, that is going to take some time and a lot of thinking.
Namu: Leave it to me than. There has to be someway to get there souls back, maybe the millennium items could help us out.
Nafatiri: Well then we are just shit outta luck because the Priests will not help us get their souls back.
Namu: We can't give up now, it is worth trying for.
Teania: I am with you Namu.
Nadia: Hello? have you considered the fact that Hades is God of the Underworld and he can slaughter us at any time if we try to do something so dangerous.
Namu: I am well aware of all that but, one thing you missed is that if you make a bargain with Hades he will grant it, if you fulfill his task. Just like when Hatsu-ha-met, Ra-ta-su-nat, Anak-su-na-mun, and Anak-su-ha-me promised to give there souls to him if he let them live and he granted there wish but they did not complete the task at hand. Therefore, they suffered the consequences.
Nafatiri: But what if we are not strong enough.
Namu: The Pharaoh owns 3 Gods and I am sure that he can pull it off.
Nafatiri: Then how come he didn't do that as he was fighting Bakura?
Namu: Summoning all 3 Gods to the field will take a tremendous amount of Ba from himself and he did not have enough.
Nafatiri: Oh yeah.
Namu: I want to try and find a way. That's the least I can do until everyone returns.
Teania: I am with you all the way Namu.
Nadia: I guess I'll help you.
Nafatiri: We are in this together.
Namu: Thanks guys. I will do some research and Nafatiri and Nadia I want you two to keep watch over the palace.
Nadia: Okay then.
Nafatiri: Lets do it.
Namu: Teania, I want you to rest. If you have anymore visions notify us immediately.
Teania; Okay, thanks Namu.
Namu: Anytime.
Namu has been looking in tons of books wondering how to retrieve their souls back. She feels weird helping them out since they almost killed Nadia but she will stop at nothing and find any way possible.
