…She turned as her clock flew from her back; she saw it blowing behind her.
Then it became flat; shielding everything from beyond it. It stood in mid-air,
almost by magic. Then all of a sudden a hand grabbed it from behind, revealing
who stood behind, she knew who it was
This was it, her big finally.
He walked up to her; casually, but he didn't fool her. He stood in front of
her, even though his hood was still up his evil eyes shone through like rubies
on a medallion. He then handed her the clock; without a noise. In fact she
noticed that there was no noise anywhere, all was silent. It was almost as
though the world had hushed just for her
She didn't take it, there would be others. At her notion he pulled back his
own hood, and smiled, a smile that told her everything, even when meant
nothing.
"I don't need it!" She said in a voice that seemed to shake the world with
power. She walked past him, saying no more, not even looking him in the eyes
once more…
It angered him to be ignored; just like she knew it would, he was falling into
her trap, and he thought he was superior.
"Don't you turn away from me! I will not be treated in such a manner. You
shall now pay the price my little princess, the price you shall indeed pay!"
"I shall pay no price to the likes of you…" She turned back and continued to
walk away.
She heard his feet gaining on her, but it didn't faze her she continued. She
felt his strong hand as it grabbed her arm. He spun her around to face him,
his face of fury.
"Princess!" He said in anger.
"Don't you call me your princess; I am your queen… And you, you are in my way.
To me, you are nothing."
"HOW DARE YOU! Ill show what I am."
"You may think you are something now but by the time im finished with you, you
will be nothing more than a coward begging for your live. But don't worry ill
make sure your death is a long and lingering one, you can't even imagine the
pain that you shall feel!" She took several steps back as he did. This was it
the final duel, but not with cards, with magic, real magic; the kind that
hadn't been seen for thousands of years!
She stood near to the edge of the cliff, she must prevent herself from being
pushed back any further.
It began.
He conjured a small flame in the palm of his hand, he spoke softly to her; but
she didn't mistake the threat,
"Such a small piece of danger, but its power is great none the less… But what
should I do with it?"
"Go on, everything else in your life is a mistake! What's one more? Of course
it would be your last."
He smiled as he looked down at it,
"Fine, have it your way!!"
He lunged his hand forward; it came towards her with lethal intent,
frightening speed, and outstanding power.
As it came closer and closer to her it size seemed to increase with every
split of a second. Soon it would be apon her. She could feel the heat growing.
Just before it reached her she waved her arm before her body from one side to
the other. The ball of death was gone.
Marik's face was confused and terrified.
This time it was her turn to laugh. She looked him in the eyes showing no fear
no nothing, not a single emotion possessed her expression.
"You see, no matter how much power you throw at me I will always match and
beat it."
"W-where did it go?"
"It went nowhere-" With that she also placed her hand just in front of her, a
tiny, insignificant flame sat apon her palm. "But, it did change." She closed
the palm of her hand, then putting the other one on top. She seemed to be
looking down at them. Then without warning she through them both out in front
of her with tremendous speed. Marik, who had no chance to shield him, closed
his eyes and expected to feel death itself. But it didn't come.
He peeped open one eyes to see that he was engulfed in a circle of inescapable
fire. Both eyes open he realised that it was getting ever closer to him and
Sophie.
"You foolish bi#ch, what have you done? You'll kill us both!"
"No just you for I must be going. But don't worry; if the flames don't kill
you in time the energy will, for it is not me conjuring it, it is you."
It was then that Marik realised that he was rapidly losing strength; it would
kill him either way.
"Don't try and call it back for it cant, that is the true extent of a fire
shield. You are so predictable, I knew you would use your favourite element to
destroy me, but instead it will destroy you."
She turned and some how walked through the flames, which even if they had been
cast she shouldn't be able to do, but here she was doing just that!
"Brother!" Came a cry from a female not far off. It was Ishizu.
"Stay out of this Ishizu; you'll only get hurt as well!" Sophie spat.
"Please Sophie, this is not you, don't do it!"
"Don't talk bull, of course this is me, the new me!"
"No it is not! It is a dark force inside yourself; you must not give into it.
You must not give up your soul!"
Sophie started to shake; the true Sophie was coming back out again for the
first time since Marik had put a spell on her which Kaiba had triggered.
She still had the black hair, but she was back, and the black magic was once
again locked away.
"Sophie, please you must stop this, you'll kill him!"
"I don't know what to do, I didn't do it, I don't know how to reverse it!"
Not from just what she said but her voice told Ishizu that Sophie was back!
There was a voice screaming in her head, it was so angry at her! Sophie didn't
know what to do.
Marik screamed in pain, the magic was taking its toll. He wouldn't last much
longer, she had to do something quick or he would be lost forever.
Sophie tried to conjure some magic to help him, but her power was drained;
like her energy, only the other self could stop this.
Unless, she looked down over the cliff at the water; hearing Marik scream
again, the heat must have been intense.
She knew what she had to do, she hoped it would work, she turned to Ishizu,
"Im so sorry for what I have done, I didn't mean to cause so much pain and
this is what I must do, I hope it will work." She looked down at the water
again, she was going to borrow power from the earth it self, use the water to
extinguish the fire.
Ishizu's expression told Sophie that she knew what Sophie was about to do.
Sophie was shaking all over uncontrollably; she continued to look down at the
water. Marik screamed again, not in his horrid voice but in a voice different,
she knew this was his proper ego. She knew now that this was the right thing
to do, even if it meant ending her life for his, she had to do it.
Without looking back; without listening to Marik's scream of pain or Ishizu's
plea, she jumped.
Her black clothes blew upwards as she fell the great distance to the water.
With a great splash, she was no more.
Then it became flat; shielding everything from beyond it. It stood in mid-air,
almost by magic. Then all of a sudden a hand grabbed it from behind, revealing
who stood behind, she knew who it was
