Chapter 28

Major Battle, Inside and Out

Yami

"There 'as to be a way to stop 'er," Varon said.

"There isn't Varon...let's just hope it all ends soon," Mahado said worriedly. I looked over to Sam and she was attacking Dartz with very powerful magic attacks. Dartz seemed to cower in fear, it's like he wasn't expecting it at all.

"Stay still!!" Sam cried out. Dartz took this as a chance to hurt Sam physically and emotionally.

"You'll never defeat me love!" he screamed out. He attacked Sam and she dodged it gracefully. "You've always hated this world...you've always wanted to do something to get revenge on those who hurt you."

"It was your fault that they hurt me in the first place!" Sam cried.

"Join me Sammy. You'll be even more powerful than you are now. That and you and I will rule the world once I complete the ritual."

"I would never join you Dartz, you know that!"

"Fine then! You do know that you'll never beat me," Dartz began. I could sense Sam's anger grow.

"Stop it!" she exclaimed as she resumed her magic attacks on Dartz. "Words won't do anything Dartz. Stop trying to persuade me...it's useless."

"You're still weak love. Stop trying. Things will be much better if you give up. After all...your parents don't love you. Your friends are what they are because of your money. Your grandfather only cares because you've unlocked many things in this temple," Dartz said. "And last but not least...the pharaoh. He'll never love you or appreciate you as a man should. He only loves you and protects you so you'll help him gather his memories. After that's done, he'll leave you for someone better than you."

"Don't listen to him!" I exclaimed. She seemed to be thinking about something and turned to us. Her eyes flashed a hint of their natural blue as she smiled at me. The crimson shade returned as she faced Dartz again.

"That is where you are wrong..." she said as her voice trailed off. "He wouldn't....I'm entirely sure of that."

"I am sure that he will leave you Sam...times change..." Dartz began. Why was Sam so sure of herself?

"You keep forgetting who you are talking to Dartz...I'm the one who changed it all because of you and Zorc..." Sam replied. What is she referring to?

"You may have changed things back then...but like I said...times change..."

"But people and their feelings towards them never do..."

"You are worthless child, stop fighting the truth. Embrace it because you know that I'm right...so stop fighting it and surrender."

"I will never give in to a low life like you!" she exclaimed as a bright light shot out of her.

"Take cover!" Varon cried. We all laid down on the floor and a protective barrier surrounded us. The coast cleared and we looked around. Dartz was on his knees breathing deeply.

"Not bad...but not good either," he said.

"He's trying to push her to the brink!" Mokuba exclaimed.

"Yes but I don't think that he'll last after this..." Mahado spoke. "Her most powerful attack yet."

"You pushed me too far...I didn't want to do this but you leave me no choice!" Sam exclaimed. "What has once started, now ends. Destroy Dartz, banish him for good," The pieces of "ice" joined her, surrounding her. "Send him to oblivion to pay for the damage he's caused to me. Send him away and set me free!" darkness engulfed the room an we were protected once more by the same barrier. The attack went on for a while and that worried me and the others.

"I'm worried," said Duke.

"Please tell me that Sam will be fine," I said.

"I don't know..." said Mahado.

"This is too bizarre. Don't expect me to believe about my Egyptian past because of this," said a frustrated Kaiba.

"Right now that doesn't matter mate. All that matters is that this ends," said worried Varon. Light filled the room and the barrier vanished. Dartz was gone and Sam was still floating, her black gown as dark as her new aura due to all the pain she's endured. The seal's magic wore off and Sam landed, still wearing the black gown. Varon and I were about to head towards her but Mahado and Mana held us back. Sam was breathing deeply. Soon the "ice" fell and clattered to the ground. With a gasp for air she collapsed. Varon released himself from Mana's grip and dashed to Sam's side.

"Sammy!" he said breathlessly. He checked for a pulse and I waited anxiously for an assurance that she was going to be all right...from the looks on his face something's wrong.

Laski: Yet another cliffie...

Yugi: You've gotten your inspiration for cliffies back...and very very well ended.

Laski: Thankies....now that you're done....why not review? Depending how it all goes...I might put chapter 29 up later...

Yugi: Excatly...(makes sure Laski left for bathroom break)and try to help Yami out again...he seems really troubled.
