Last Chapter: "Shit," Bakura said as the army of the once dead began to advance.

Marik and Bakura took defensive stances in front of the god of Darkness. Yami looked at them strangely.

"What are you doing?"

"You are the only one that can take the life away from them," Marik said, glowing dark lavender.

"No matter what the cost, we cannot allow you to die," Bakura murmured as he began glowing blue.

"But –"

"No buts," Marik stated, pushing Yami back behind them against a wall, "We protect you while you focus on taking their life force away. We come up with a way to kill the god of Spirit up there."

"Well, we'd better think fast!" Bakura yelled, throwing up a thick wall of ice to hold the un-dead back.

Portions of the wall started dripping away slowly.

"What?"

"It seems that there are some mages amongst the zombies," Yami stated as they began to walk through the holes in single file, a cold laugh accompanying them.

Seeing that Marik and Bakura were occupied with setting the zombies alight or freezing them, Yami dashed out into a large group of them with an angry cry. A crimson light surrounded Yami and the zombies around him. Turning to see what had happened, Bakura and Marik noticed that all of the zombies and ghosts surrounding Yami had fallen still.

"And that is what happens when the god of Darkness gets angry. Never seen him do that before. Have you?" Marik asked Bakura as the two watched Yami flit around the room, using his magic to kill Seto's army of zombies and spirits. A pearly lustre surrounded Seto, who was standing in the centre of the room, and the now dead once dead people began to stir again.

"No way!" Bakura exclaimed as he kicked a zombie in its head, sending it flying towards Marik who ducked just in time for it to slam into a ghost, somehow stopping it momentarily.

"Watch what you do with those things!" Marik called as he punched a zombie in the stomach, effectively setting it alight, "Oh look! A walking bon fire!" he called out, somewhat delightedly as the burning body ran around in circles.

"Stop being stupid," Yami said as he engulfed a few spirits in darkness. Upon hearing their cries, he sealed the darkness off.

"Fine," Marik humphed, somehow having fun in their dire situation, "Bakura! Put it out for me!"

Bakura grumbled something about insane Fire gods before summoning a rain cloud above the burning zombie. It sizzled and hissed as the intense flames died.

"Bakura! Behind you!" Yami called out from amongst a mass of un-dead.

"Wha?" Bakura turned around and his eyes widened in shock as he saw a zombie with heat magic about to launch a magical attack. Preparing for the attack, he failed to notice the magical attack being deflected. Marik and Yami, who were watching in fear, saw a bright green flash and a metal barrier appear right before the attack ricocheted off into a wall.

Bakura slowly opened his eyes when he didn't feel the heat envelope him.

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"That metal barrier!" Yami called out, another flash of crimson lighting the area as Seto watched joyously from his place.

"What barrier? I didn't do anything…" he backed up against Yami, "I did feel a strange pull, right here," he said, touching his heart before throwing a hand out, blasting a swarm of oncoming ghosts with shards of ice.

Marik heard a rumble of thunder and looked above him. A large, deep blue rain cloud had formed over his head. He looked at the group of zombies in front of him, one glowing a very dirty pale blue colour as the cloud started to let a heavy magical rain fall. Suddenly he felt a tweak in his heart and a shrill wind blew, blowing the rain away from the Fire god.

Yami looked over to where he felt a huge gust of wind. Seeing only an amazed Marik standing there blankly looking up at the sky before noticing all of the zombies had been knocked over and the spirits had been blown away, the pearly glow from the king ceasing…for now.

"Um…thanks, I think," Marik said as he trotted up to where Yami and Bakura were backed against a wall.

"Thanks for what?" Bakura asked, looking around at the swarm of zombies thathad stoppedgrowing.

"Blowing the rain away. That would have been painful."

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I can't conjure up winds. I'm a Water god in case you've forgotten. And Yami is the god of Darkness… no winds there either. You must have done that one on your own."

"But…I'm the god of Fire. I can't do winds."

A light amethyst glow surrounded the God of Darkness who was slumped against the sandstone wall with fatigue.

"Okay, now weknow that he can't do that," Marik said, pointing to Yami who was still glowing a pale amethyst.

Yami blinked and stood, his magical energy completely restored.

"What in the name of the gods is happening?" Marik asked.

Yami thought for a moment.

I am giving a final gift to you with my last reserves of magic.

Yami's face broke out into a smile.

"Yugi," he whispered, tears making his eyes glisten in the dim light. "This is his final gift to us," he said to Bakura.

"What do you mean?"

"We've got a problem! Seto's recovered!" Marik exclaimed, his lavender glow returning.

"Don't worry. We can notlose. Not now," Yami said, feeling a presence behind him. Bakura and Marik feeling a presence also as they prepared for the next assault.
