Last Chapter: "Kaiba! You will pay!" the three remaining Gods yelled in unison as they each glowed blue, deep lavender and crimson.
With a power that had remained unknown and hidden to the three Gods until this moment, they each lashed out at the large ice platform with their magic. Screaming in rage, Bakura, Yami and Marik glowed, their power increasing. Once the array of blue, crimson and lavender light died down, three transformed Gods stood.

Bakura's hair had darkened slightly and had grown a little shorter as well. His eyes had turned a deep, deep ocean blue and he had a blue sarong wrapped around his waist. His skin was its normal tanned colour but with what appeared to be waves and snowflake drawings on his arms. Tears of sadness for the loss of Ryou dripped down his face, the skies replicating how he felt in the way of a storm. Blue lightning flashed in the sky, thunder rumbled and rain was pelting down.

Marik's hair had become spikier and his eyes had become an even deeper lavender. His clothes had been replaced with red pants and a sleeveless red robe. Pictures of flames covered his tanned chest. Inside, Marik was seething, his Fire element being controlled by his emotions reflected how he felt. A thunderbolt struck one of the many dead trees in the throne room and it burst into dark lavender flames.

Yami had transformed as well. His eyes were a lot darker than their usual crimson colour and his clothes had been replaced with black pants, a sleeveless black shirt with silver accessories. Emerging from his back was a pair of black, feathery wings tipped in the colour of blood. He glared at Seto, sadness and anger etched into his features. The day was plunged into night. Not even a star was glittering in the dark black, crimson edged sky.
Glowing red, Yami summoned the shadows to lift himself, Marik and Bakura to the icy platform above them.

Looking at the scene below, Seto glowed an ice blue and began mumbling something underneath his breath. Noticing that Yami and the others were approaching, Jonouchi glowed a golden colour, preparing to put his battle magic to good use. Peering over the edge, he sent two blasts towards the three gods. Glaring, Bakura sent a jet of high-pressure water towards the blasts, knocking them off course and sending them into the sky. Jonouchi cursed and decided that he would have to choose the elements that he wanted to fight with carefully. As a battle mage, he could use different aspects of different magical abilities to fight with.
"Alright. I'm up against the gods of Darkness, Water and Fire. That cancels out any plant, air, water or fire attacks. Great!"
Thinking quickly, Jonouchi summoned a few large rocks to him and filled them with explosive magic. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the boulders flying.
He heard a raged yell and wisps of darkness flung the boulders towards Jonouchi and the King, Jonouchi having to disarm the explosive magic inside the rocks before they hit the wall behind.
There were multiple flashes of ice blue light all around the throne room and people stepped out of the lights. Turning to see what was going on, Marik faltered.
"Yami, we've got a problem."
Yami turned and looked at the ground, crimson eyes widening in shock.
"H…how is that possible?" Yami whispered.
Down on the ground, on boulders, on the icy platform, even on the outskirts of the room, were thousands of Kaiba's.
A cold, menacing laugh came from above where the 'real' Seto Kaiba was standing.
"What is the meaning of this?" Yami yelled as the three Gods noticed that all of the Kaiba copies were turning into little snowflakes and floating up to where the King stood.
"Never underestimate the power of a rival, Darkness!" Seto called as the little snowflakes began to pile up around him, Jonouchi standing slightly to the side, ready to use his Battle magic if the Gods tried anything.
"What do you mean by that, Kaiba?" Bakura called, completely dropping all aspects of royal protocol, while attempting to hold back the floating snowflakes with his own magic.
"Let me fill you in on a little bit of unwritten ancient history. As you know, you three…or six as it were, are the reincarnations of the Gods that created this dimension, planet, whatever. If you could remember properly, you would realise that you divine beings would have to have been killed to be reincarnated. That's where your rival comes in. For you to have been killed -"
"Yes, we get the idea," Marik said, cutting the king off, "There would have been a battle in which we all died…get to the point."
"Fine. The rival that killed you was none other than, myself."
Bakura looked at him, blinked once… twice… and promptly began to chuckle.
"You're a measly Ice Magician. What power do you have that could possibly stand against us?"
"That, my friend, is where you are wrong," Seto said as more of the snowflakes piled up around him, "After the battle, your damned Darkness, who has the ability to take life away from someone, shattered my life force into thousands of tiny pieces because he didn't have enough magical energy to kill me properly. And with me being so magically drained, I couldn't piece my spirit back together to continue living as one person. I was reincarnated as thousands of the same person, biding my time, waiting for the right moment."
"Wait a second," Yami said thoughtfully, "Only Yugi has the power of giving life."
Seto laughed a cold, cruel laugh.
"No, he's not the only one. Yugi can create life, give life and return life. There is another element that can return life also. That element is Spirit, the element that is always forgotten and the one that no one gives a second thought about. That is MY element," Seto said, as he and the pile of snowflakes around him glowed ice blue.
Marik sent a ball of purple flames speeding towards the glowing king but a jet of water deflected it.
Marik growled and turned to the God of Water.
"What was that for, you moron?" he yelled.
"Me? What in the seven oceans do you take me for? Why would I block your attack on the enemy?"
"Oh, I don't know," Marik said with a shrug, "Maybe because you're working for him! No one else can control water!" he lunged for Bakura. Suddenly he was stopped in mid-air. Marik looked around his waist were tendrils of shadow holding him in place.
"Don't do this Marik. Our real enemy is up there," Yami nodded to where the icy glow had intensified and standing in front of the glowing Seto was Jonouchi, poised and ready to attack again, "It was the battle mage that deflected the attack, not Bakura."
Marik glared at Yami as he was lowered back to the ground, the three gods turned to where Seto and Jonouchi were standing when a blinding blue light flooded the destroyed room.
