Chapter 5:
Going Under
I'm letting the Seal take me instead…
"Yugi?" Yami called. Suddenly, the lights began to coalesce and circle around the pedestal. "You see that, Tea'?" Chris asked. "It means that a spirit is crossing over into our world. Keep watching."
The lights began to take the form of…Yugi!
"Is that really you?" he asked.
"Yugi!" Yami cried shockingly. "Hey! It's him!" Tea' cried.
"I found you…" Yami said. He reached out for him, but his arm went right through his body.
Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
"You came all this way just to see me?" Yugi asked. "Of course," Yami replied. "I wanted to say how sorry I am."
"I'm sorry too," Yugi said. "I wish this whole thing never happened."
More lies about a world
That never was and never will be
Have you no shame, don't you see me
You know you've got everybody fooled
"It's my fault. I surrendered to my inner darkness. I allowed my anger to take over and you paid the price. Now that you're gone, the darkness is starting to grow. Without your light to keep me pure, I'm becoming evil, Yugi. I'm beginning to believe that what Raphael said about me is true. Perhaps…I was a wicked Pharaoh."
I heard about you, how you ruled as an evil king. That's right, Pharaoh. You used your power of the Shadow Realm to destroy Egypt!
"What if I am the one responsible for the destruction of Egypt?" Yami asked himself. "If I'm capable of such horrific behavior, then it's my soul that should be locked away."
Look here he comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh, how we love you
"Well, what good is that now?" Yugi asked. "I'm the one who's been locked away forever, not you!"
"I'm…sorry…"
"Well, the last thing I need is your pity, Pharaoh!" Yugi snapped. "If you're really evil, there's only one thing to do."
"What are you saying?" Yami asked.
No flaws when you're pretending
A duel disk appeared on Yugi's arm. "You said it yourself, didn't you?" he asked. "Your spirit should be locked away with mine. And I'm gonna do it."
"Wait! You misunderstood me!" Yami cried. "Oh, so you're taking back everything you said! Make up your mind!" Yugi barked. "You don't deserve to be a part of this world."
"Yugi!"
But now I know he
Never was and never will be
"It's about time you start taking some responsibility for what you've done!" Yugi said. "There's only one thing left to do and you know it. You need to be a man for once and face me in a duel now!"
"No…please…" Yami begged.
You don't know how you betrayed me
"Too late! It's time for you to pay!" Yugi cried. "If you're really sorry, then you'll do this!"
Yami reluctantly activated his duel disk.
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
"Why are you acting like this!" Yami asked. "I'm just a reflection of you!" Yugi barked.
"What do you mean, Yugi?"
"You don't get it do you? You and I are exactly the same. So the darkness that's in your heart…is also inside my heart!"
"Yugi…I wish I can take it back!" Yami cried.
Without the mask, where will you hide?
"Too late! You've already shown me who you really are: and evil Pharaoh who cares only about himself! Face the facts!" Yugi snapped. "You didn't care what happened to me so long as you had power! Now it's my turn!"
"Yugi, wait! Are you holding the card I think you are!"
"It sounds like you're starting to catch on, aren't you, your highness? This duel is a chance for you to look at yourself from the outside. And there's only one card that can make that happen: The Seal of Oricalcous."
"Yugi! No!"
Can't find yourself, lost in your lie
"One more attack, and you'll become a prisoner of the Oricalcous just like me!" Yugi cried. "Oh no! I can't lose!" Yami exclaimed. "If I do, then I can't set you free, and two worlds will crumble!"
I know the truth now
I know who you are
"So what? You're evil, remember?" Yugi asked. "Last time, you didn't care who suffered!"
"Yugi! I'm begging you!" Yami cried. "Please, don't go through with this!"
"Too late. Attack!"
And I don't love you anymore
"Yugi! NO! I won't let you do this!" Yami cried. He screamed in mere anguish as the blast hurtled towards him. "I activate the trap card Divine Wind!"
The attack was redirected towards Yugi. "He did it!" Yugi cried. "He was able to reverse my attack and double its strength to win the duel!"
Never was and never will be
"What have I done!" Yami cried as the attack hit Yugi head on.
"YUGI!"
Yugi fell to the ground with a soft moan. Yami rushed to his friend's side. "Yugi!" he cried as he ran to him and cradled him in his arms. "Come on! Speak to me, please!"
You don't know how you betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Yugi opened his eyes and smiled weakly up at Yami. "You passed the test, pal…" he said. "What are you talking about? Did you plan this all along?" Yami asked.
"It was the only way," Yugi said. "By defeating me, you were able to defeat the darkness that was inside your heart. It wasn't easy, but you did what was best for me and for mankind. You acted like a true hero." He placed his hand on Yami's duel disk.
"Bit now what?" Yami asked as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Don't give up this fight," Yugi said. "Remember, I'm…always…with…you…"
Yugi then disappeared in flash of light. Yami broke down hard as tears rolled down his face.
"I'LL SAVE YOU! No matter what it takes," Yami screamed.
Never was and never will be
Not for real that you can save me
And somehow you've got everybody's fool
Whew! Done! (Not really) I'll be adding more chapters if my dog doesn't distract me all the time…grr...
