"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
Yugi narrowed his eyes as a ball of fire raced towards him. His usually violet eyes turned a faint shade of crimson and a red barrier surrounded him, protecting him and the others from the attack. He raised his left arm above him as a ball of magic appeared, growing the size of a basketball before it started sparking. He threw it forward, and landed a successful hit, but Sinestra seemed unaffected.
Hit back, Sinestra merely grinned up at him. "Is that all you've got, little boy?"
Yugi seemed to have outmaxed his patience. Anger grew inside him, and the crimson shade in his eyes became brighter, deep and more foreboding. It scared the others to see Yugi like this, what was going on?
Yugi powered up another attack, this one larger and more powerful, and threw it forward, but his attack was backfired, sending him flying back. He struck a wall hard and fell the the floor. Strangely, though, when the others came to help, he pushed them out of the way forcefully and prepared another attack. Yujhi frowned at the actions of his yami, both confused and worried. "What's wrong with him?"
Yujhi watched on fearfully and Yugi cried out, though he hadn't been struck by the attack. He had no idea what was going on! How was he going to help Yugi? Suddenly, a blood red glow erupted. Looking down, he realised it was coming from the Millennium Puzzle. "What the-?" Was all he could manage, taking the puzzle and holding it up in front of him. The red glow was almost blinding. Why was this happening?
"Oww..." He moaned, raising his wrist above him, ignoring the burns on his forearms from skidding across the floor, so the Millennium Ring hung in front of his face. There was an eerie red glow surrounding the Millennium Item, shining brightly. Sitting up, Ryoura looked at it with confusion. "What's with the Ring?" Suddenly, his eyes grew wide. "Bakura!"
Bakura forced his eyes open, but he barely saw the point. Even though that, in the past, he had never given up in any way, he knew himself he was done for. His physical state was a wreck, but that's not what annoyed him the most. Was 'annoyed' the word? No... 'Scared' was...
By using a spell known as the Cataclysmic Oracle, Draco had brought upon Bakura the ultimate curse. Once the power of Bakura's soul was drained completely, Draco would be able to escape, but that wasn't the worst part. By rendering his body useless, the essence of Bakura's soul would not be discarded to the Shadow Realm, but the real world. Not even Bakura deserved to live in a world where you where literally invisible to everyone and everything around you, where there was no way of becoming noticed and death was not an option. As a soul he would never sleep, alone the days would pass slowly; it was a fate worse then death.
He admitted it, he was actually afraid for the first time in millennia.
But there was a side affect to the curse. Because Bakura himself was connected to a Millennium Item, Yugi would also be affected by the curse, as would any other spirit of a Millennium Item, but not in the same way. Yugi would become blind with darkness, from the evil spirits of the Shadow Realm, causing him to become evil himself.
Right now, Bakura felt completely helpless, which was a feeling he wasn't used to, and he did not like it. Still what could he do? He tried to hold in, but as a fresh electrical surge shot through him, he cried out, though it almost ceased instantly. He was teasing him... and doing a good job at it too...
"I guess this is it...." He thought, hanging his head in defeat.
Finally, after ten thousand years, Bakura, King of Thieves and long held spirit of the Millennium Ring, had given up.
Unfortunately, his hopefully dramatic entrance was delayed thanks to the fact the door was too heavily for him to kick open. Grumbling about the castle having 'heroic issues' he had to push the door open with quiet some effort. Poking his head around the door curiously, his eyes grew wide as he saw Bakura thrown against a wall. Anger overcame shock, as his eye's narrowed. His hand raised up, a ball of green magic appeared in his hands as an eerie green glow flashed in his eyes
Draco grabbed the limp form of Bakura by his shirt and lifted him far off the ground. "Say goodbye..." He whispered harshly, raising his arm back, sword in hand. Bakura merely looked at the sword and closed his eyes in defeat, awaiting the blow.
Draco was about to swing his sword forward when a sharp pain struck his wrist, causing him to cry out in pain and drop his sword. Looking back angrily, he glared at the mortal behind him. The boy was looking pretty aggravated, but what was that to worry about? The runt didn't look like much of a threat. He raised his arm and swung it at the boy, but a barrier came up quickly in front of him, causing Draco's fist to bounce back and hit himself in the face.
Grinning, Ryoura ran past the anthro-like creature and drabbed Bakura's wrist. Now that Draco had been caught off guard, his grip had loosened, so Ryoura was able to get Bakura away, but Bakura simply collapsed to his knees after only a short distance. "Come on! We gotta get outta here!" He yelled, trying to pull Bakura to his feet.
Bakura sat motionless, his gaze diverted to the floor. Ryoura slowed his attempts as realisation hit him. Bakura wasn't trying to escape, he'd given up. "Bakura..."
"I am not, going to let you get away with my prisoner, not alive!" Draco yelled, powering up a ball of magic and firing it at the yami and hikari. Ryoura did his best to protect them both, but the forced was to strong and hit them back. Firing a blast into the ground, the ground shook and cracked, leaving deep holes that led into a black dept below. The ground cracked under the two, but Ryoura moved out of the way. Bakura, was not so lucky in his efforts, and fell down, grabbing the edge.
"Bakura!" Ryoura looked back, running to the edge and looking down. "Bakura come on, climb up already!" He yelled, but Bakura seemed o be in a world of his own.
Why bother? Whither he survived this whole experience or not, what was the point? He'd been trying for millennia to take over the world, and this was where it led him? After all his efforts, the only thing he'd achieved was a huge headache! Maybe he should just give up now, at least them his soul wouldn't be stuck in either the Shadow Realm or the real world. Sighing heavily, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let go.
"Bakura no!"
