"Now, get him!" Dartz shouted. Suddenly thick black vines like those they had noticed earlier erupted from the monster, entwining them around the Pharaoh, Kaiba, and Joey. They were pulled onto the monster as it tried to absorb them. Joey and Kaiba are being sucked in. "It's pulling me down!" Joey says, struggling. "Glad you noticed, Wheeler!" Kaiba says trying to free himself. The Pharaoh sticks out his arm on top as he feels himself being pulled deeper.
"Don't give up, Pharaoh!" Yugi calls to him. He hears the Dark Magician girl cry in the background. "Listen to the darkness in your minds." Dartz says to them, his voice resonating throughout the beast. "Give in to the darkness of your hearts." He tells them.
"No!" Yugi says as they try and hold on. "Think of the light, all the good things in you!" Throughout the beast in the bubbles, those who had already begun to become embedded in the monster thoughts changed. "Think, remember!" he said. Mai let a solitary tear fall as she remembered the touching things Valin and Joey had done for her. Alaster smiled as he thought of his brother, and the way things were before. Raphael thought of the duel where the Pharaoh had finally cleared his mind and heart, how things used to be with his own family. "Remember…" Yugi says again. "Remember what it is you are fighting for."
Suddenly light appears all over the dragon, each person lending a bit of theirs out to the Pharaoh. "Take mine." Joey says, tossing it towards him. "You're the one that needs to get out, Pharaoh." He tells him. "And mine." Kaiba says, tossing it as he is pulled further in. All the lights congregate in the Pharaoh's duel disk, his arm the only part that hadn't been taken under.
"And mine." He hears Alyssa's voice whisper, and a last sparkle of light flies in.
"In the name of the Pharaoh." He says, feeling the power inside him awakening. "I call upon the Egyptian gods!"
Kaiba, Joey, and Yami are shot safely out of the Leviathan, landing safely on the floating isle. Above them they can see a great light in the sky where the clouds separate and the forms of the three Egyptian gods begin to form.
"They may need my help." Yami says to Yugi as he reenters the soul state. "Right." Yugi nods at him. A small ball of light flies up; it is the Pharaoh's soul. It reaches the Gods, leading them towards the great beast. "Obelisk, Ra, and Slifer!" he shouts to them. The three charge up. "Attack!" he shouts and they launch their beams down at the Leviathan, who tries to block it wit one of its own. The gods combined power is too strong, however, and the beast explodes, falling into the ocean. As it does so the souls of all who had been entrapped within it are released. Weevil and Rex can be heard screaming as their souls fly away towards wherever their bodies may be.
"Mikey!" Alaster says, as he swirls around him as he wakes up. "I'll be waiting for you big brother.' He says, laughing and flying away. Raphael enjoys a special moment with his family members. "We'll see you later, Raphael." His younger brother tells him. "Keep up the good dueling!" his small sister says, and they fly off.
"C'mon, Mai." Valin says, leading her out. "Those three did it. We're free now." Mai takes his hand and they walk off.
The ground beneath them shakes as Atlantis begins to rumble. "We've got to get out of here." Kaiba says. "Back to the portal. Let's go." They begin to run off. "Yugi, wait!" The Pharaoh says, and Yugi stops. "What're you doing, man?" Joey asks. "I'll be right there. You guys go on without me." Yugi says. "But-" "C'mon, Wheeler," Kaiba says and pulls him through.
"They're all right!" Tea says as they exit the palace. "Where's Yugi?" she asks. "He's still up there?" she asks him. "Yes, but he's fine. He wanted to check something out." Joey says. "Oh, I knew he was fine. Raphael told me so." She says, nodding at the man behind. "Hey, Raphael. Long time no see." Joey says as they begin chatting.
"What is that, Dartz?" Yugi asks him as he stares at the dark dragon that had formed out of dark clouds emitting from his body. "It's a manifestation of the darkness in one's mind, heart, and soul." He says to them. Timeaus emerges to protect his master and directly attacks the dragon. The Pharaoh sees he is badly hurt. "Timeaus, go back and rest." He tells him and the legendary knight does so. "Go on Yugi." Yami tells him. "This is what I must do. It is my duty."
Suddenly the dark dragon lunges at the Pharaoh. The pain that it causes him as the darkness tries to take over him is so great it causes him to scream. "Yami!" Yugi says, trying to help. "No, Yugi. Stay back." He tells him. "This is my fight, my battle." He says. "I need to do this." They both think back to the time where Yami first fought Raphael and had refused to listen to Yugi. They both knew this time was different.
"I need to beat this darkness." He tells Yugi. "But Pharaoh, you already did when you fought me in the duel." Yugi says. "That was just the first step, Yugi." Yami tells him. "There is still a long journey yet to come." The Pharaoh braces himself as the eye once more appears on his forehead, his power emerging to eliminate this darkness. A flame enters into the swirling mass and the dragon lets out a shrill wounded cry. Its body becomes smaller and smaller, until finally it disappears. All around the world the sky clears, the tornadoes, water spouts, tsunamis…all stop.
Yami collapses from the effort, Yugi catching him as he falls. "It is gone." He tells Yugi, looking up at him with a smile. Suddenly Dartz falls down to the ground himself, and a bright light comes up next to him. Ironheart and Chris appear as they had in the days of old, their costumes gleaming. "My son." Ironheart says with a smile.. "Father…" he says, waking up. "We need to-" "Everything has been taken care of by the Pharaoh." Ironheart says, looking at Yami. "Thank you for saving my father, Pharaoh." Chris says, bowing her head.
The Pharaoh looks at Dartz who says nothing but smiles back. He sees that his eyes are both gold again, the darkness and power of the Orycalcos had left him. "Come father, and have a rest with me." Chris says, taking his hand." Mother is waiting for us too." She tells him. Dartz smiles up at her. "Of course." He tells her, holding her tiny hand and getting up.
"It is time for you to leave now." Ironheart says to the Pharaoh and he gets up. "Yes, but," the Pharaoh begins. 'I know. It has all been taken care of." He nods and the Pharaoh smiles.
Atlantis falls into the ocean again as they leave. "Hurry! We have to go!" Mokuba says as they get into the helicopter. "But-" "We haven't any time." Kaiba says. "The moment that thing falls there will be a wave that will sweep this away unless we get off the ground now."
"Come on man, you just have to trust Yugi. He knows what he's doing." Tristan says as they climb on. They fly up quickly just as the wave hits. Looking down all worry about Yugi…
