"No!" shrieked Nephilia as her life points dropped to zero. "I lost! I actually lost!"
"Now I can break the spell on this castle!" said Yami as he stretched out his hand. A blinding flash of light filled the room. The dark stone turned to white marble as large windows overlooking the sea magically appeared in the walls. Intricately patterned rugs and tapestries covered the floors and walls as the iron shackles shriveled up and disappeared.
Even Nephilia herself changed as she was released from the spell. Her eyes lost their empty look, and the ravens perched on her shoulders turned into white doves. The only thing that remained the same was the large bird-like creature. It gave an ear-splitting screech and flew out a window, where it became a tiny speck in the blue sky.
Yami switched control back to Yugi as everyone headed for Serenity.
"Serenity, you did it!" said Joey as he ran towards his sister.
"Joey!" she exclaimed, hopping off the platform.
"Now how did you learn how to play Duel Monsters?" asked Joey as he hugged his little sister.
"Actually, somebody taught me on the boat," admitted Serenity.
"Really?" asked Tristan.
"I had a deck, but I didn't know how to use it," she explained.
"Who taught you?" asked Yugi.
"Seto Kaiba," replied Serenity proudly. "I didn't ask you, Joey, because I wanted to surprise you."
"Seto Kaiba?!" exclaimed Joey, Yugi, Tristan, and Tea together.
"Yes, that's right," said Serenity. "He gave me the Roulette card that I used to defeat Nephilia with. I'd better go thank him again." She left the speechless group and walked over to Seto.
"Speaking of Nephilia . . ." said Yugi. He looked towards the platform. Nephilia was staring around, looking slightly embarrassed.
"I'm sorry for any trouble I've caused," she said to them. "I've been under that spell for months. Thank you for breaking it."
"Ah, don't mention it," said Joey.
"This is my Millennium Token," she said, showing them a small coin on a chain around her neck. "It can do many things, such as control the weather. It was by using its power that I sent the fog and the storm, and lowered the temperature in the underground passage."
"Lowered the temperature in the underground passage?" asked Mokuba. "It seemed fine when Serenity and I were down there."
"Yes, you had already passed through it," said Nephilia. "Oh my gosh! I almost forgot!"
"What is it?" asked Yugi.
"Where is he, the one with brown hair and the long coat?" asked Nephilia, looking around frantically.
"Huh?" said Joey. "What's she talking about?"
"Tristan's right here," said Tea, pointing at him.
"No, not him," said Nephilia. "The other one! With the dark blue trench coat!"
"Oh, you mean Kaiba?" asked Joey. "He's right over there, talking to Serenity."
As the conversation with Nephilia was taking place, Serenity was thanking Seto.
"Good job," he said as she reached him.
"Thank you," she replied. "But I couldn't have done it without your help. I learned a lot from you. Roulette really saved the day."
Seto shrugged and turned to leave, but began coughing again and knelt down on one knee.
"Are you ok?" asked Serenity. He nodded and put his hand on the wall to steady himself, but when he tried to stand up again, he stumbled and fell to the floor.
"Joey!" called Serenity. "Come quick! Something's wrong with Kaiba!"
Okay, I know Seto Kaiba may seem a little out of character, but he does not go out of his way to be mean to Tea in the show, just Joey (and Yugi) so I had him act normal towards Serenity, there is nothing romantic going on there.
