Duel Three! More drama! Enjoy!

Anzu gasped, but remained silent.
Ryou looked at him in shock, "What? What are you talking about?"
Dayan's eyes fell to the ground, "The man that killed her was after me. I fled from the house to try and lead him away, but I wasn't thinking straight. I should have known what he would have done. When I came back, I saw he had killed. . . When I saw the look on your face, and when I saw what they had done to you, I just couldn't bring myself to tell you. I'm sorry Ryou. I'm sorry to have brought that on you. Your family was nice enough to bring me into their home, and my lifestyle and the people I chose to be around caused all of it. I'm so sorry, Ryou. You're my best friend, and I never wanted anything like this to happen. I didn't mean for any of it to happen."
Ryou just stared at him in shock. What was he supposed to say to something like that? He could not get over what he had just heard. He had merely saw Dayan running down the street and stopped him, then all of a sudden he was bombarded by Dayan's confession. All these years he had thought it was all just a case of breaking and entering gone wrong, but all this time. . . He needed time to think it over. "Why are you telling me this all of a sudden? Why now?"
"I'm going after him; the man who attacked the house that night. I'm going after him, and I'm going. . . I'm going to kill him," Dayan stammered. He had never said anything like that in his life.
"What? You can't just go do that!," Ryou said. Anzu nodded quickly in agreement.
"I have to make sure he doesn't do this to anyone else! He has to pay for what he did, Ryou!," Dayan pleaded, and then turned away from Ryou, "Go home, Ryou. This is my battle."
"No," Ryou said rather firmly, "If you insist on going, then I'm going with you. I want to see the man who killed Amane."
Ryou. . ," Dayan tried to say.
"No, Dayan. You will not deter me," he said sternly. Dayan could tell Ryou was very upset. Whether it was what he had finally confessed to Ryou, or it was just everything together, he was angry.
"Alright, Ryou," Dayan said, "But you'll have to keep up." He continued to run down the street with Ryou and Anzu right behind him. He had finally told his best friend his greatest secret, but whether that changed the best friend part or not, he would have to find out about later.
The building loomed ahead of them as they ran through the industrial district. It was an old warehouse that was used for the sea ports nearby. 'Of course,' Dayan thought, 'It's always a warehouse, isn't it?' They slowed to a stop as they got to a door. He hesitated for a moment not knowing what he would walk in on, but then threw the door open not caring. He ran in and looked around for any sign of Akurei. It was relatively dark and he could not see very much, but he heard laughter coming from the left of him. The doors shut suddenly as they were caged inside.
"Hey! Let go of me!," he heard Anzu shriek. Then he heard Ryou's struggles.
"AKUREI!," Dayan yelled out, "Come out, and let them go! Your fight is with me!"
"Yes, but if I take them, then you will do exactly as I want. I did so hope you would bring someone with you," a raspy voice came from directly in front of him. Then he stepped out. A man Dayan had not seen in years. Akurei loomed before him. He stood at 6 feet with dyed white hair tipped in blood red sticking out on end. He had an over large nose and a thin, menacing mouth which was now turned up in a crooked smile. His sickening voice scratched as he spoke, and it added to his fierce appearance.
"What is it that you want, Akruei?," Dayan asked with a hint of warning in his voice.
"I want a rematch," he smiled and walked very close to Dayan, "I lost track of you after our attack on your house, but then I heard about this Battle City tournament going on. I knew you would be in it; the kingpin of the London underground. I knew you would not be able to resist."
"I told you before I was not and never will be the leader of the underground," Dayan said raising his voice.
"You really think I would believe that? When I first arrived there, everyone I talked to told me the main guy, the leading man, the kingpin was you. When you beat me in our first duel, I couldn't believe it, but now I've come to challenge you again, and taking you down in the Battle City tournament is just the way to do it."
"You planned this all along, didn't you? Liam was just a pawn in your game."
"Liam?," Akurei laughed, "That weak punk? He's just lucky I haven't killed him yet. He's a traitorous, lying little bastard that I never have my back to, but back to the task at hand. Get your duel disk ready. I'm going to take you down. Winner take all."
"Fine," Dayan said looking back at Ryou and Anzu making sure they were ok, "Let's get this over and done with."
"Why don't you go first?," Akurei taunted, "I'll give you the first move, because I'll be making the last."
Dayan growled, "Justice is on my side. I'll send you to hell."
Ryou gasped at Dayan's words. Was that really him? He had never heard Dayan say anything that harsh or threatening. What had gotten into him?
Akurei took the duel disk that was handed out to him by one of this cronies blocking their escape and guarding Akurei's territory. He slid it onto his arm while smiling nastily at Dayan the entire time. The only thing that kept repeating in his mind was the image of defeating the leader of London's minions. He savored the idea of watching Dayan writhe on the ground with blood spurting from his wounds while Akurei slowly suffocated him feeling his life slip away beneath his finger tips. Yes, his blood would taste exceptionally well with the plastic smell of his locator cards.
Dayan activated his duel disk. The hair on his neck stood on end as he felt the tense air surrounding them. He wished that Ryou and Anzu had not insisted on going. If he knew Akurei enough, even if he defeated him, escaping him would be an entirely different situation. He would have to deal out his most threatening charisma possible. He started to lose confidence in his own strength, but as he gazed upon his deck he realized that it was not only his own strength he was fighting with. He was fighting with the power of his faith in his cards, Ryou, Anzu, and everyone else who had ever rooted for him. It was fight or die, and he was not yet finished with that life.
"I draw," Dayan said as he took a card from the top of his deck, "I set one card face-down in defense mode. Make your move."
Akurei laughed, "It's my move, and it is the beginning of your death. I'm going to savor every moment of your defeat. After I kill you, I'll turn my attention on your two friends there, and don't think I don't recognize him. That's Ryou Bakura, isn't it? Well, I'll make sure to finish him off like I should have all those years ago."
"Shut up, and make a move!," Dayan yelled out getting extremely angry.
Akurei drew a card, "Get ready, boys. As soon as he's dead, the girl is yours." Akurei laughed as he pushed Dayan's patience. All the men around them started to laugh and jeer. Ryou was scared out of his mind, but he had faith in Dayan, and by the determined look in Anzu's eyes, she too was not going to lose faith in him.
"Come on, Dayan," Anzu shouted, "Don't listen to this creep. You can win!"
"I'd watch that mouth, princess," Akurei sneered, "Won't be long before it will get you in trouble. Now, let's continue this duel. I summon Blackland Fire Dragon in attack mode! Seem a little different to you, Dayan?"
"A dragon?," Dayan asked, "It seems you've changed the structure of your deck. That won't save you, Akurei. The only thing it gives you is my surprise that you were smart enough to give up on your old, pathetic deck."
"You still have that tongue, Dayan," Akurei hissed, "I'll rip it from your mouth and spit on it. Attack his face-down monster, my dragon!"
The Blackland Fire Dragon aimed its firey attack toward Dayan's face-down card. It flipped over and Wall of Illusion revealed itself.
"Damn you!," Akurei cursed as the had to take his dragon back to his hand. His life points dropped by 50 points as he ended his turn.
"I will not let you win," Dayan said drawing, "You will never get the better of me. I lay one card face-down, then I put this monster in face-down defensive mode."
"That was a weak move," Akurei said beginning his turn, "Now I summon the Crawling Dragon in attack mode, and then I attack your defense!"
"Oh, really?," Dayan said as he activated a trap card, "Well, my Sakuretsu Armor card will take care of that."
Akurei's Crawling Dragon was instantly destroyed, "You are really becoming annoying. I set one card face-down. Get on with it then."
"If you wish," Dayan smiled, "I flip my defensive monster," Dayan's monster came forth in attack mode, "Behold my Slate Warrior! This monster's effect allows it to gain an extra 500 attack points! That brings it to 2400! So I attack your life points directly!"
"You only wish," Akurei laughed as he activated a trap, "Did you really think I was that stupid? My Shadow Spell trap card will activate and bind your monster. Not only that, but it will bring your monster's attack down by 700!"
"Fine. I end my turn by setting one card face-down."
"Well, it seems the tables have turned," Akurei hissed as he viewed his newly drawn card, "This move will take you down a peg or two. I play Change of Heart and use it to take control of your Wall of Illusion, but instead of using it, I'm going to sacrifice it to bring forth my Kaiser Glider!" Wall of Illusion was engulfed in a shroud of light. Then a giant, menacing dragon soon replaced it, "I use this ultimate dragon to attack your Slate Warrior!" The power from the attack caused Dayan to shield himself as his monster was blown to bits and taking 700 life points with it.
"I'm still standing," Dayan said drawing, "I set one card face-down, and another monster face-down. Make your move."
"Is that what you are going to do the whole game?," he snapped, "Well, then you will lose sooner than I thought. I set one card face-down as well, but now I use my Kaiser Glider to attack your defensive monster!" Sangan was revealed and destroyed. Dayan chose a monster from his deck and waited for Akurei to finish. He merely laughed at Dayan's silent natures. On the inside he knew he was furious, but Akurei could not blame him. People do tend to get mad when you try to kill them.
"I'll make my move then," Dayan said getting a nod from his opponent, "I set one card face-down, and that will do it for me."
Akurei sighed, "These tactics are so boring, Dayan. I figured dueling you would be even more challenging than last time, but this is a joke!"
"Shut up and duel."
His eyes flashed, "You're lucky we're still dueling while making remarks like that. I activate my trap, Magic Thorn. This will come in handy later. Then I attack your face-down monster with Kaiser Glider!"
Dayan laughed, "You idiot! You've attacked my Cyber Jar! This card's first effect destroys every monster on the field!" The monster sucked every monster on the field into it's cavernous depths, then it disappeared.
"Damn you!," Akurei yelled.
"Now for its second effect we both pick up five cards from our deck and automatically special summon any monsters from those cards that are four stars or less."
Dayan summoned Aqua Madoor in defense mode while he summoned Gemini Elf and Opticlops in attack mode. Akurei summoned both a Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress and a Tyhone #2 in defense mode. He then ended his turn by setting one card face-down and sneered over at Dayan to make his move.
Dayan merely grinned with joy at making Akruei so mad, "I will now bring forth my favorite monster. I'm sure you will remember him. He was the monster who beat you last time. I sacrifice my Aqua Madoor to bring forth my Summoned Skull!"
"Do you think I'm going to let you use that again?!," Akurei cried, "I activate my face-down trap card, Torrential Tribune! This card destroys ever monster card on the field when a monster is summoned!" Dayan watched helplessly as his Skull, Gemini Elf, and Opticlops were swept from the field. Akurei would pay for that one. Those were some of his favorite monsters. He would not get away with it.
"Fine, I have to end my turn," Dayan said reluctantly.
"Good, for now it's my chance to show you how my new deck functions. I worked on it for quite a while making sure that it was precisely what I needed to take you down. I know your deck is built for high power, so I knew I had to make one to counter that. Now I am going to summon the most powerful monster in my deck."
"What?!," Dayan exclaimed. Not only did that trap card destroy all of Dayan's monsters, but it destroyed his opponent's as well. How was he to summon his best monster with nothing to sacrifice?
"That's right. I remove my Kaiser Glider and my Blackland Fire Dragon from my graveyard to summon the all-powerful Chaos Emperor Dragon!"
"Dear Ra," Dayan said as he watched the gigantic dragon come onto the field. Darkness and evil powers encased it while it reared its head and let out a roar that seemed to shake Dayan from the inside out. It was an awesome monster, and he knew there had to be special effects to it. He just wished he knew what those were.
"I will take out 3000 of your life points with this monster's powerful attack! Now my dragon, attack his life points directly, and bring me closer to his death!" The dragon shot an ungodly blast on Dayan, but after the dust and smoke had cleared, Dayan was still standing, but had a smile on his face.
"I've activated my trap card, Nutrient Z!," Dayan laughed, "My life points increase by 4000, then decrease by 3000 from your attack, but I gain an extra 1000 life points in the process. I wouldn't leave myself that open, Akurei. You should know better."
"It doesn't matter," he replied, "After you see all of my dragon's effects you won't be so confident. I set two cards face-down and end my turn."
Dayan started to get a little nervous. He knew that dragon was extremely powerful, but he had no idea what it was capable of. He would just have to deal out his toughest moves and hope for the best. He drew his card, "I'm also going to bring forth a powerful monster much like you. I remove my Slate Warrior, Opticlops, and Wall of Illusion from my graveyard to bring forth my Dark Necrofear in defensive mode!" Dark Necrofear appeared in its shell of dark magic staring keenly over at Akurei. Dayan continued, "I then play this magic card. Change of Heart!"
"Not so fast, Dayan!," Akurei yelled, "I'm not going to let you win that easily. I activate Magic Jammer! This will negate your Change of Heart when I discard one of my hand cards to the graveyard. Sorry, but that won't work."
"That's fine. I just needed to make sure what that card was, and now you've proven it. I set one card face-down and end my turn."
Akurei started laughing hysterically, "This is it! This is the move where I show off my deck's true power! This is a moment I've been waiting for. I use my dragon's special ability and 1000 of my life points to destroy every card on the field and in our hands!"
"What?! It can't be!," Dayan said shocked. He had never heard of anything like that before, but he watched helplessly as his Dark Necrofear and the Mirror Force Trap card he had laid down were both destroyed. Akurei's dragon was destroyed as he discarded his entire hand to the graveyard. Dayan very reluctantly did the same. He had nothing to protect him now.
Akurei continued to laugh, "Did you think that was all? Not only do you lose all your monsters and your cards, but you also lose 300 life points for every card that was destroyed or discarded, and I believe I count five!"
"I still have more life points than you, Akurei, and your field is just as empty as mine!," Dayan sneered.
"Oh, but did you forget something?," Akurei cackled, "I activated a quick-play magic card too. Even though my dragon was destroyed from it's effect, my Ring of Defense card will shield a trap card I played earlier, and you should know the effects of it."
Dayan looked over to see Magic Thorn still on the field. His heart sank and he gasped. It could not be possible.
"Yes, Dayan," Akurei laughed, "Magic Thorn's effect will now crush you. It will take away 500 life points for every card you just discarded! That means you instantly lose 2500 life points!" He continued to laugh as Dayan watched 2500 life points drain away. He could not believe it. In one turn he had lost 4000 life points.
He had no choice, but to be prepared to be beaten as he drew what he though might be his final card, "I set one card –face-down. Make your move."
"Good. This is the turn I shall defeat you. I play the only card in my hand. Well, the only one for now, because I play Card of Sanctity! This card let's us both refresh our hands. Now we both have six cards. It doesn't matter what you drew, because I'll kill you in this turn. I summon my Gray Wing. The special thing about this monster is that if that trap card negates the first attack, it has a second attack that I can use to wipe you out. I can't lose! Dragon, attack his life points directly!"
"Wrong! I activate Spellbinding Circle. Whether that monster has two attacks or not, it doesn't matter! This card prevents him from attacking at any point!"
"A desperate move, but you only have 300 life points left anyway. I now set four cards face-down, but don't worry, they won't be there for long. Now I play Emergency Provisions. This card let's me destroy any number of magic or trap cards on my side of the field to increase my life points by 1000 points per card! I will destroy all four to replenish my life points by 4000! Now it doesn't matter what you do next turn, you won't be able to defeat me." Akurei's life points shot from 1950 to 5950. That was almost 2000 more than they even started out with. He turned the floor over to Dayan.
Dayan drew. He knew this was it. It was do or die. He would not fail. He could not fail. If he did, then not only would Akurei kill him, but Ryou and Anzu would be in danger as well. He could not and would not let that happen. With Akurei's magic card, he had replenished his hand, but he had drawn a few powerful magic cards, but most of them were equip cards, and with no monsters, they were hardly useful, but now it was his turn to draw. There was one card in his deck that would help. He prayed once again to the gods. More was riding on this duel than a few locator and duel cards. There were people's lives at stake. 'Please, Ra. If you ever answer any of my prayers, let me get this one card. Let me save everyone from this threat.'
"Make your move already!," Akurei yelled, "I'm tired of waiting. I can taste your blood already."
Dayan drew. He almost burst into tears as he saw that the gods had answered his prayers once again. He glared over at Akurei, "You threatened my life. You threatened my friends lives, and you think that you will win. Well I will tell you right now that I will not let that happen. I have drawn the cards I needed thanks to your magic card and my faith in my deck. With the power of a loved one, I will defeat you. I won't let you live."
"Are you trying to scare me? It won't work. You should know that by now. I fear nothing."
"You fear defeat. I know that. You hated the fact that you challenged me and you had to face your greatest fear of defeat. You thought you were defeating my by killing Amane that night, but all you did was make yourself a mortal enemy that would never hold pity for you. You have a black heart, and now I will crush it. Watch me. I play a field magic card, Yami!" 'Thank you, Pharaoh'
"That's it? A field card? That won't do any good."
"You didn't let me finish. I will now play Raigeki which rids your side of the field of any monsters!" Akurei's Gray Wing was stuck by a large bolt of lighting and disappeared from the field. Dayan laughed, "And now I will show you how exactly I will defeat you. I play a card that beats with the soul of a loved one. My power comes from the people around me that I care for, not the hate in my heart like you. I play Maha Vailo!" Maha Vailo came onto the field. It did not look like enough to do any harm. Ryou and Anzu stared at each other worried. What did he have on his mind?
"I don't know what you are thinking, but remember I have 5950 life points. That weak monster only has 1550 attack. It will barely make a dent."
"Then I guess I'm going to have to play my other cards, aren't I? I play Black Pendant, and I equip it to Maha Vailo!" Maha Vailo's attack went from 1550 all the way to 2750. Dayan laughed at Akurei's confused reaction, "For every equip magic card I attach to Maha Vailo, he gains an extra 500 attack! So that is why I also equip him with Malovent Nuzzler! That brings his attack up to 3950! Again! I play Axe of Despair! Maha Vailo's attack shoots to 5450! Right now I'm 500 points away from taking out your life points. So I play my last card. You should remember it. I play Megamorph! Since my life points are lower, then it doubles Maha Vailo's attack not to mention the extra 500 points from it being equipped to him!"
Akurei stood in amazement. That one monster's attack was 11, 700. How could he play a move that powerful? It was impossible. If Dayan attacked, it would all be over. There was nothing more he could do.
"Say hello to Satan for me," Dayan yelled, "Maha Vailo, attack his life points directly!"
Akurei was hit with the powerful attack and thrown backwards, and he crashed into some crates behind him.
"Alright," Dayan said walking up to Akurei's fallen form, "I've beaten you once again. You duel with a black heart, and it will always cause you to lose against me. Now release my friends, and I will go easy on you."
Akurei started to laugh as he stood, "You may have beaten me, and won your way to the finals, but did you really think I would let you go? I'm not that merciful. We'll kill you, and then your locator cards will be mine."
"You coward!," Dayan cried.
Akurei brought out a long knife and held it to Dayan's throat, "Goodbye, Dayan. I'll make sure to let your friends have a nice, quick death while they watch you slowly die."
Before Akurei could stab the knife into him, Dayan pulled back and kicked Akurei away. He turned around to see Anzu and Ryou kick the men holding them. As they broke free, Ryou and Dayan plowed the other two men down. Anzu, meanwhile, pulled the doors open, and they ran through the open door. Just as they reached the street, two more men caught up with them. They had been guarding the doors. They crept up on them as the other two men from inside came out followed by Akurei.
"What kind of weak escape attempt was that?," he asked Dayan who was glaring at him with all the hate he could show, "Now you've just pissed me off, and I'm going to finish you all off very slowly. How much do you three like torture?" Dayan wanted to strangle Akurei with his bare hands, but what was that? He heard something coming toward them really fast. It sounded like an engine.
Before anyone could realize it, a crotch rocket motorcycle turned sideways into a stop and crashed into the two guards from the door. What seemed to be two metal shards suddenly flew from the person riding it and landed in the two men by Akurei, as the motorcycle drug the two men by its momentum and the rider landed perfectly balanced. The two men by Akurei fell to the ground while he was still trying to figure out what had just plowed into his sight. Dayan, Ryou, and Anzu had all ducked down the moment they saw the biker take down the first two men. The biker walked slowly up toward Akurei. The figure was wearing a long, black trench coat while the rest them was covered in white, but it was the familiar cling of metal that signaled to Anzu who it was.
"Aida?!," she cried.
Aida took off her helmet and tossed it aside with the bike. She had her eyes on Akurei.
Dayan, totally unnoticed by Aida, was gaping. It was her! Ateyda was right in front of him!
"Who the hell are you?," Akurei asked angry that someone had interrupted his fun.
"You need to release them," she said ignoring his question, "Or you might get hurt."
Akurei laughed at this, "And you think a little girl like you is going to make me? Well, then come on, lets see what you've got."
Aida approached him with a confident smile on her face. She flipped her staff around waiting for his move. Akurei had his knife back and had another to match. They stared at each other for a few moments when he attacked. He lunged at her throat, and as soon as she had pulled back, he lunged at her unprotected stomach. She easily spun to her left and got behind him with her coat flying around her as she swung the staff toward his head. He fell forward, but she grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him back. She held her staff underneath his chin softly choking him. He tried to kick her, but she let go of the staff, jumped up, and kicked him in square in the back. He fell to the ground clearly no longer amused. She was slapping him around while he had not gotten in one hit yet. He expertly flipped his knives around in his hands. The intimidation worked on Ryou and Anzu, but Aida was not going to falter. He lunged at her once again, and she laughed as she easily dodged his attack and let his momentum throw him to the ground as she pushed his head toward the pavement with the end of her staff.
He got up slowly, "Try and dodge this!" He threw one of his knives directly at the middle of her face. Faster than anyone's eyes could catch, she had brought up the end of her coat and caught the knife in it before it killed her. She pulled the knife from the black leather and smiled while tauntingly waving it at him. He threw another one quick as a flash. The others watched in horror as they thought surely she had been skewered this time. This time she had put her hands together with a loud clap as she caught the knife between her palms. Now she had both knives. She walked up to him twirling them around in her hands. She threw them at the door behind him just missing him by inches, and they jammed themselves into the wood. He ran back to get his knives from the door while she picked up her staff and shrank it back to its pen size. He wrenched against the door trying to free the knives while she stood with her arms crossed smiling at him. He realized they would not budge, so he turned back to her.
"I'm not done with you yet. I don't know who the hell you are, but I could use you," he said smiling, "Maybe you'd like to join my boys and I. There would be plenty of compensation, of course."
She laughed, "Join you? Don't you mean letting all of you hold me back?," she scoffed, "I've had better offers from an infomercial."
He growled at her, "Then prepare. I will take you by force." He lunged at her again. This time a small blade had shot from his sleeve, and he grabbed it tight as he brought it swinging at Aida's stomach. They clashed and both of them froze. Anzu and Ryou gasped. Aida had just been stabbed! Dayan made a noise of disbelief as he crept a little closer. It could not be. Not after for searching for her all those years, not after finally finding her, it could not be.
Akurei looked up at Aida, "You bitch," he choked out. He fell to the ground with his own blade sunk into his gut. Aida had kept the blade from stabbing her, but his own haste had thrown him onto its awaiting tip. She stared at him for a moment not really believing what had just happened. She ignored it, however, and turned to her friends.
"Are you all right, Anzu?," she asked helping Anzu to her feet.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied brushing the dust from her clothes, "Thank you for saving us. How did you find us?"
"I saw three people running down the street," she explained, "I didn't think anything of it until I saw it was you, Anzu, and Ryou, isn't it?" Ryou nodded. "Anyway, I figured if you guys were in that much of a rush, then I might as well follow you."
"Thanks for that," Dayan said sitting up staring hard at Aida. She turned to look at him and could hardly believe her eyes. It was not true. That was not who she thought it was standing before her. It was impossible.
She tried to pull herself out of her trance, "No problem. I'm Aida."
"The name's Dayan," he replied. He could hardly keep himself from running and hugging her at that moment. He had waited so long to see her.
Anzu looked at her watch, "Well, I think I've had enough fun for one day."
Ryou nodded, "I'll agree with that."
Anzu turned to Aida, "Thanks again, Aida. I don't know what would have happened had you not showed up. I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow then. We can meet up with Yugi then."
"Yami," Aida thought, "I've been gone too long."
The three of them watched as Anzu took off toward her house. Aida turned back to Dayan. What could she possibly say to someone who looked and sounded exactly like her brother from 5000 years ago? Could she even say something? How would someone react to 'Hey, are you my brother from ancient Egypt?' Before she could think on it any longer, Ryou interrupted their silence.
"Well, now that we are all together and alone," he said laughing. That was not Ryou's voice! He brought his head up to look directly at Aida and Dayan. Dayan jumped back in shock. He knew those eyes. Bakura was indeed taking up residence in Ryou's mind.
"What do you want Tomb Robber?," Dayan asked him with venom coursing through his voice.
"Tomb Robber?!," Aida thought looking over at Dayan in shock, "It's you?! It's really you, Mito?!"
Bakura suddenly lunged out, grabbed Aida by the throat, and started to lift her off her feet. "It's time that everyone is introduced."
"Stop this, Bakura!," Dayan said as he walked forward to try freeing Aida from Bakura's grasp.
"Get back!," Aida choked out.
"What?," Dayan said stopping short.
"I said get back! I can handle this!," she said glaring down at Bakura.
"You aren't going to handle anything! I am in control of this," Bakura smiled up at her, "I guess you both have now noticed my presence. Now it is time to recognize each other, Ateyda and Mitonen. I find it extremely amusing that the two of you are here for the Pharaoh."
"What do you want?," Aida struggled against his grip.
"Your blood-drenched soul," Bakura replied, "I'll take it through a rematch; a fight 5000 years in the making."
