Happy New Year, everyone! The eighth chapter of Vampire Rage is now underway! Stafon seems to know of Zorc's weakness, but will he pull it off in time before the gang is gone from existence? Read onward and find out! I also dedicate this chapter to kilnorc!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story. Thank you.

"You pathetic humans think you can destroy me," Zorc whispered, grabbing Yugi by his head, the boy squirming, trying to escape from the villain's strong grip. "I have more power than you can imagine, more than your little toy monsters can defeat!" He let out an evil laugh, and tossed Yugi into a wall, knocking him out.

"Yugi!" Yami yelled, seeing his hikari slumped against the wall, still breathing, but out cold. "You'll pay for that, Zorc!" Zorc just chuckled at the Pharaoh's bravery.

"You possibly think that you can defeat me, Pharaoh?" he laughed, holding up his sword. "Your light fell in the hands of my darkness, and now, you will!" Zorc then leapt at the pharaoh, yelling out a battle cry. Yami pulled out his sword, and blocked Zorc's attack, the villain pushing against the sword with his own. The silver blade of Yami's sword began to come closer to his neck.

"I won't let you harm my friends ever again!" Yami uttered, pushing with all his might with his sword. He threw Zorc off him, and struck across the Dark One's face, leaving a long, diagonal gash across his whole face.

"My king!" Stafon yelled, running up to him, facing Zorc. "I know of his weakness! I did some research on him five thousand years ago on a few ancient tablets."

"Tell me," Yami whispered, and Stafon told him in his ear. "Yes, that's good. Now, do it!" Kairma raced up to the three of them, and held Stafon's hand. She knew of Zorc's weakness as well. They began to chant in ancient Egyptian, a bright white light surrounding them and Zorc. Parou knew of the ancient text, and translated.

"The great evil that befell the ancient kingdom shall now be sealed away," he translated. "Now, Zorc, the Dark One, be gone!" Zorc began to disperse into a shadow, and his shadowy hand clasped itself around Parou, nearly knocking the wind out of him.

"Parou," the villain whispered, sinking into a black abyss. "You have failed me. Therefore, you must join me in the black abyss, trapped forever. Still, we shall rise again, someday! May we meet again, Pharaoh!" With that, the black abyss disappeared from their view, as did Zorc and Parou. Both Stafon and Kairma fell to the rocky floor, unconscious. Yami, Joey, Tea, and Tristan ran up to them as Kairi and Brian appeared in the spirit's places.

"We have to get out of here, but how?" Yami whispered, picking up his hikari, who was beginning to awaken.

"We can help you with that," a voicereplied behind them. Inuyasha whirled around and saw a man in a purple cloak with blue eyes and long purple hair, and he was clutching a green staff. The other was a girl with blonde hair and wore a blue and pink uniform, and she held a staff that had a swirled circle on the end of it. It was the Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl.

"How are you going to help us?" Joey asked, slinging Kairi over his shoulder. "We've got two unconscious people with us, and we're trapped underground! How are you getting us out?"

"Like this," the Dark Magician Girl giggled, hers and the Dark Magician's staffs glowing brightly. A white light surrounded them, nearly blinding them. When the light faded, they found themselves in the streets of Domino, both of the monsters gone. Inuyasha helped the gang get Kairi and Brian to the hospital.

-At the hospital-

Kairi's eyes opened, and she saw Brian in the bed next to her. He opened his eyes.

"Hey," she whispered, and he nodded back his answer. "You okay?"

"I'm fine," he replied weakly, closing his eyes once more, drifting into sleep. Kairi did the same, her crimson red eyes closing deeply.

What will happen now that the darkness has lifted from Domino? Find out in chapter nine, The Aftermath.
