Yami Bakura presses the knife closer to Seto's throat, and I can tell that he would make good with his threat.

I look at Joseph and Amy, and I can tell clearly that they are just thinking about one thing right now...

and that's revenge for their families.

But I can't have Seto killed because of that.

"Having Seto dead won't bring your families back," I hiss to them quietly, not realizing that Yami Bakura is reading our minds.

"Yes, but it will make them feel so much better..." Yami Bakura hisses mockingly, "they screamed so painfully when they died... it was such a pleasure to listen to them." He laughs cruelly.

Joseph twitches, and I can tell he's about to transform and kill Yami Bakura right now...

"Joseph! STOP! He's just provoking you!" My pleas fall to death ears, and I can tell that two people are going to die tonight,

just before he's about to transform and Seto's going to die...

Bakura screams, a high-pitched wail that tears me apart at the sound of, and I realize as he tosses Seto aside that his good side has taken over again.

"KILL ME!" He screams, the anguish and pain that fills his words tears through my soul, and I hesitate.

Joseph and Amy transform instantly, ready and willing to kill this person in cold blood because of what he did...

"NO!" I roar, transforming myself and somehow blocking the way to Bakura, realizing that I can't have someone dead who did nothing wrong.

Joseph glares at me, as best he can as Obelisk. "Move out of the way, Sara." He hisses, voice dangerously low.

"I won't let you kill someone who did nothing wrong." I hiss, lashing my tail dangerously, ready to attack at the slightest provocation.

Amy attacks me, and I dodge as best as I can in the tight quarters, her attack missing Bakura and me by inches.

"Please... just kill me." He begs once again, and I attack Amy who tries to get to him.

She stumbles back, more in shock than in pain. "You're a traitor to everyone, even yourself. Yami Bakura told us the torture you went through, and I'm surprised after all that, you're willing to protect him, you're no better than his servants!" She spits the last words out, roaring in anger as once again I block her way.

I blink at her words, thinking about all the times that I was tortured by Yami Bakura before his lighter side finally broke free and got me loose. About what I saw ever since then of the world, and how much it has changed under Yami Bakura's reign of terror.

But...

that doesn't mean that he has to die for it.

An evil laugh interrupts my thoughts, and I look back to see Yami Bakura under control again.

"He will pay for what he's done." Yami Bakura growls angrily, "but first, I must finish you." He laughs again, and the form of the black Ra suddenly shows up, and attacks us.

I dodge, and I see Amy and Joseph doing the same, I attack it, but it still doesn't have any effect.

Amy and Joseph try to attack Yami Bakura, but he just laughs, and the Ra attacks them, wounding them severely.

We finally regroup on the other side of the room.

"This is all your fault! If you weren't so kind-hearted! We won't be in this situation!" Joseph yells at me.

"I say we attack her now, then we can get our revenge without her getting in the way." Amy heartlessly says, and I can tell she means it.

"Look... we need to beat this thing, or revenge will be the least of your worries!" I snap at them. "We need to attack it together! Than we can beat it!"

There are several moments of silence....

then they agree.

We turn, all as one, to the Ra monster, and all gather our own attacks, ready to finish it once and for all...

when the black Ra attacks, and I hear a cry of pain from Amy as she crashes down, out cold.

The tide has turned.

Attack after attack comes, and we dodge desperately, getting nailed every once in a while and experiencing pain we never experienced.

Black Ra gathers for his final attack....

when a blast hits it, from the side.

There, standing where Seto Kaiba used to be, is The Wigned Dragon of Ra.

The tide has turned once again.

Without saying a word, we all know what to do, and we all gather attacks together...

and black Ra is finally destroyed.

There are several moments of silence as the smoke clears, even Yami Bakura can't think of anything to say.

Joseph looks at me, and I can tell what he wants me to do.

I close my eyes slowly, thinking about everything in my life being flashed before me...

always being told that killing was wrong, no matter what the circumstance.

Me being dragged unconscious away from the world that I always known and loved, getting shoved unwillingly into a situation I didn't know about.

The torture, my escape from the prison with help from Bakura.

The sight of Domino City, and it's occupants, or what's left of them.

My journey to Egypt, and my self-discovery along the way.

Finding Amy and Joseph, getting betrayed by them and then us becoming a team.

Finally...

Bakura begging for mercy.

All these events fly by, and I make my decision.

I look at Joseph and Seto,

and nod.

There are no words for my decision, and no body language...

just a painful silence that fills my heart.

As one, we attack.

Yami Bakura laughs like a maniac, and I vaguely wonder if he will actually live through it.

Then....

there is silence as the smoke clears,

and Yami Bakura is shown....

laying on the floor

dead.

It is over.

TBC.....
