Chapter 13: The Fight Continues

Anubis smiled widely as Mokuba looked up at him with fearful eyes. They were both fearful of him and for his brother's safety. Kaiba's fear was rising quickly. Everyone stood there, not sure of what was going to happen next. Finally, Anubis spoke.

"This is a special occasion now," he smirked. "Andro Sphinx, seize the child."

Instantly, Andro Sphinx appeared in front of Anubis and dove down to take hold of Mokuba.

"Mokuba, look out!" cried Tristan as he ran towards Mokuba.

He managed to push Mokuba out of the way before Anubis' new beast could grab him. Mokuba was quickly helped up by Yugi.

"Stay here," Yugi instructed.

Mokuba nodded, knowing he should listen to Yugi this time. He was aware of what Anubis could do.

Anubis glared at Tristan, "Andro Sphinx, seize that troublesome mortal!"

Andro Sphinx grabbed Tristan and held him tightly so he couldn't get free.

"Hey!" cried Tristan.

Andro Sphinx tightened his grip on Tristan's arms making him cry out in pain.

"Tristan!" cried his friends.

Next, Anubis summoned another monster. Another Blue Eyes. It roared loudly as it saw its soon-to-be victims. Anubis once again stood on its head. He knew his monster couldn't attack anyone's monsters because the wall of Kuribohs would prevent it, but he had something in mind that would take them all by surprise.

"Blue Eyes, attack the tomb robber's Man-Eater Bug!" ordered Anubis.

The Blue Eyes roared and with a flap of its mighty wings it soared into the air.

"What's goin' on, Yuge?" asked Joey.

"Something else Anubis can do that we can't," answered Yugi.

Yugi was right. The Blue Eyes flew around the Kuriboh's and attacked. The jet beam was coming towards Yami Bakura and his monster. The powerful dragon's attack hit Yami Bakura and his monster sending them both backwards. The monster disappeared while Yami Bakura stayed on his back.

"Now Sphinx Teleia get him!" ordered Anubis.

Sphinx Teleia flew out of nowhere and swooped down grabbing the raven haired boy with her tail and flew back into the air next to Anubis.

"Put me down!" yelled Mokuba.

"That could be arranged," smiled Anubis, "but I wanted to prolong your suffering not end your life quickly."

Mokuba looked down and gulped. If he had to die he preferred to get it over with fast. Kaiba looked at his younger brother from within his soul room. It couldn't end this way. It shouldn't end this way. It wouldn't end this way. He'd make sure of it. Mokuba would be back safely on the ground and back with him. He would find a way to help defeat Anubis. Suddenly, Kaiba felt a burst of energy surge through him, and he was able to stand up! He could move normally again!

"I finally regained my strength," Kaiba thought happily. He looked around and saw a door on one side of the room. He quickly ran over and opened it. Across a hallway was another door. It was a darker and rigid looking door with the millennium symbol in the center of it.

"That must be where Anubis is," said Kaiba.

Kaiba walked cautiously across the hall and opened the door slowly. It kept creaking as it was being opened. Kaiba looked inside and found it to be empty, but it was a big space and it needed to be searched. As he walked in he heard Anubis' laugh and Mokuba crying out in pain.

"Help me!" cried Mokuba.

"Don't worry Mokuba, we'll get you back down!" Yugi cried back. "Don't worry!"

"I have to hurry," said Kaiba.

There weren't many corridors and chambers within Anubis' mind like in Yami's. It was a gigantic room with only two or three doors. Kaiba had to find Anubis before he killed his little brother.

"Red Eyes, you have to help him!" cried Joey.

His Red Eyes Black Dragon flew up towards Sphinx Teleia. She watched him intently as he got closer. Then, the dragon jumped up and slammed into her, taking her by surprise. Her grip loosened on Mokuba and he fell down towards the ground.

"No!" cried Yugi. "Black Luster Soldier, you have to catch him!"

Yugi's great warrior was about to move when someone else's voice called out, "Blue Eyes White Dragon, catch him!"

The Giant beast reached out and caught Mokuba with his tail. The Dragon raised him up to his head, and Mokuba whimpered in fear at the person standing before him.

"Hey, kiddo," he said.

Mokuba eased up at his words, "Seto?"

Seto smiled back at him.

"It is you!"

"I don't know," said Joey. "What do you think, Yugi?"

Yugi only stared up with worry in his eyes when Yami's voice spoke to him.

" It...is...Kaiba."

"It is Kaiba," Yugi repeated to everybody.

"Everything will be okay, Mokuba," said Kaiba. "Everything will be back to normal soon. You and I will go back home like none of this ever happened."

Mokuba smiled, "You promise?"

"I..." Kaiba couldn't finish his sentence. His head started to throb a great deal. Anubis was regaining control of him. "Blue Eyes, put him down now."

"Seto!" cried Mokuba.

The Blue Eyes quickly lowered Mokuba to the ground. Everyone stared at Kaiba.

"Big brother," said Mokuba, grasping the charm around his neck.

"You foolish mortal!" Anubis yelled.

He reached for his pocket, but it was empty. Yugi had taken his dagger that night. Then, Anubis got an idea. He used his dark powers to call forth the thousand knives and picked one out of the group.

"I'll teach you to take control from me!" Anubis yelled, holding the knife out in front of him.

"No!" cried Yugi. "If he stabs himself in the stomach he'll hurt Kaiba!"

"Red Eyes stop him!" cried Joey.

As the Red Eyes headed for Anubis, he stabbed himself in the stomach and fell to his knees!

"Seto!" cried Mokuba.

"Wait a minute," said Téa. "Is...is Anubis hurt?"

"That's what you deserve for tormenting me," Kaiba smirked at him.

"Kaiba found a way so that we could harm Anubis and not him," said Yami Bakura who was now sitting.

"All right Kaiba!" Joey cried happily.

"So you guys can attack Anubis now!" Tristan said, still in Andro Sphinx's grasp.

"Not...quite..." said Anubis. " I'm...still...fused...with...his...life...force."

"What's that mean?" asked Téa.

"If we kill Anubis, we'll kill Kaiba too," said Yugi.

"But we can still attack him," said Joey.

"The attack can't kill him," said Yugi. "I suggest to not attack him at all."

"Okay then," said Joey. "I'll use Trap Hole on his dragon!"

A giant hole opened up underneath the Blue Eyes. The Blue Eyes fell down into it and the hole disappeared, but Anubis ended up falling too.

"Someone has to do something!" said Mokuba.

"Why?" asked Joey. "It's not gonna hurt your brother."

"I don't care," said Mokuba. "It's still his body!"

Anubis was just about to hit the ground when Sphinx Teleia flew underneath and caught him. Anubis was still applying pressure to his stomach. He looked up at the knives that were still there and smirked. Instantly the knives aimed for Mokuba and flew down towards him.

"No, Mokuba!" cried Kaiba.

Mokuba stood there, unable to run. The knives were about to slice through him when all the Kuribohs jumped in front to protect him! Kaiba let out a sigh of relief, but Mokuba still wasn't out of danger yet. Anubis growled. It was harder to get rid of Mokuba than he thought it would be!

"Andro Sphinx, throw that boy aside and attack the others!" ordered Anubis.

Andro Sphinx quickly threw Tristan aside. He flew into Téa, knocking them both out.

"No! Tristan, Téa!" cried Joey and Yugi.

Andro Sphinx lunged towards them ready to strike. Red Eyes and Black Luster Soldier tried to stop him but failed and disappeared.

"Negate Attack!" cried Yugi.

The magic of negate attack surrounded Yugi and his friends protecting them. Andro Sphinx was unfazed by it, but was angry that he couldn't complete his task. Anubis was even more furious this time.

"I use the power of monster reborn to bring back both Blue Eyes that you destroyed!" he yelled. "And I'll bring out the third Blue Eyes. Next, they shall fuse together to become the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"

"You did exactly what we wanted you to do Anubis," Yami Bakura laughed. "I'll activate my Change of Heart. Now your Ultimate Dragon is on our side."

"Next, I'll sacrifice him to bring out the Blue Eyes Shining Dragon!" cried Yugi.

The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon started cracking and broke into pieces revealing a Blue Eyes Shining Dragon in its place.

"Yeah!" cried Joey. "Try to beat us now, Anubis!"

"Blue Eyes Shining Dragon, attack Anubis' monsters!" ordered Yugi.

The Shining Dragon swiftly destroyed both of the Sphinxes as if they were nothing but simple paper dolls! Anubis knelt down on the ground, still in pain from his wound.

"Yugi, attack me!" he cried.

"Huh? Kaiba?"

"Yes," he answered. "Don't worry, just attack!"

"But it'll kill you!" cried Mokuba.

"Just attack," said Kaiba. "Trust me!"

"Yugi, you can't!" cried Mokuba.

"You just have to trust your brother," said Yugi. "Blue Eyes Shining Dragon, attack Kaiba!"

The Shining Dragon sent its attack towards Kaiba. That's when Kaiba started acting like he was in a world of pain.

"What's wrong with him?" Mokuba asked.

"I don't know," said Yugi.

"Is it Anubis?" asked Joey.

"No, it's still Kaiba," said Yami Bakura.

"I'm sorry, mortal," Anubis said to Kaiba, "but I have to stay alive, and I'm strong enough to survive without you."

Anubis' shadow emerged from behind Kaiba, and soon took its physical form. Kaiba soon came to realize that he was in great danger. The Shining Dragon's attack hit Kaiba. It felt like thousands of pins and knives poking him! He also noticed that the attack made him feel like he was standing in ice water! After the attack was done, Kaiba started to fall forward, and Anubis caught him.
