Night has fallen in the palace. Everything had remained calm for the remainder of the day, but the peace is still very unstable within the depths. Pharaoh Atem and the priests were wide- awake, on the lookout for their bounty. Akunadin, was in his ouiju shrine, thinking back about Bakura. The anger he could sense within his soul was immense.

"That thief…with so much anger deep inside his heart…" thought Akunadin, "The only person that could ever have much hate for the pharaoh…would be someone from the Kurunela Village…but, no one could've survived that ritual sacrifice…"

Akunadin then heard footsteps coming towards him. He turned around and found the missing infamous thief Bakura at his feet. Bakura kicked the elderly priest, and then picked him up, drawing a blade towards his neck.

"Y-you!!" cried Akunadin, "You're supposed to be dead!!"

"With my hatred for the royal family…not even the power of the Millennium Items can kill me!!" exclaimed Bakura, "I will continue to fight until all the Millennium Items are mine! But first, you who sacrificed my people, you must do me a little favor… by executing my people you have awakened a dark god who sleeps in the ruins of that fateful event…"

"What do you mean?" asked Akunadin, "You…you're a survivor from Kurunela Village?!"

"Yes!! Indeed I am. I witnessed the entire ritual…by creating the Millennium Items, you have opened your heart to darkness." Said Bakura, "Open your heart further!! Drown into the darkness in which you have created with your own hands!!"

Bakura dropped Akunadin and placed his hand over his Millennium Eye. The Millennium Ring around Bakura's neck began to glow. Akunadin felt power flow into his body, his mind was completely overthrown into darkness.

"Stop this…..stop this at once!!!" cried Akunadin, "AAAHHHHHHH!!!"

Back at the palace, Atem heard Akunadin's scream. He looked out on his balcony, and saw that the guards at the Ouiju shines were out cold. Before he left to kill the thief that disgraced his father's name, he looked at Rena who was fast asleep on his bed. He kissed her on the forehead, and whispered into her ear, "I promise I'll give us a future….I promise…."

He quietly exited the palace and made his way into the stables where he rode off to chase his target. He found Bakura out in the city torturing the innocent townsfolk. Atem raised his hand in the air, and the Millennium Puzzle began to glow brightly.

"Osiris!!!!! Come forth!!!!!" cried Atem.

Suddenly a large red dragon had appeared as if from nowhere. It followed pharaoh, as he dashed straight towards him. Bakura turned around and saw his enemy approach him. He laughed and cried out, "Well look pharaoh is here…lets see him save his people!! Diabound!! Attack!!"

Atem continued towards him he cried out to the god Osiris, "Osiris!! Block his attack and counter it!!!"

The Saint Dragon Osiris flew in the way of the attack and countered it as pharaoh had ordered it to do. Bakura turned around from where he was and grinned as the pharaoh approached him.

"Diabound!!!" cried Bakura once more.

The great creature slowly vanished into the darkness. Atem finally reached where Bakura was.

"Bakura!!!"

"Well if it isn't pharaoh…" said Bakura arrogantly. "So nice of you to be here!"

"Shut your trap tomb robber…" growled Atem, "What is it that you want from me now?"

"Want?" asked Bakura, "I want you dead Pharaoh!!"

Atem noticed that Bakura's Diabound had disappeared, but his anger towards the tomb robber clouded his senses. Bakura snickered as he stared down at Atem. "Pharaoh, let's play a little game of hide and seek… I will seek you, but I'm afraid you have no time to hide…."

"What are you talking about thief?" growled Atem.

"Diabound!!"

From where Atem was, Diabound had appeared out of nowhere; its claws were ready to kill. "Nice knowing you…."

Then, a familiar voice came out of nowhere, "Dios!!! Defend Pharaoh!!"

It was Seto, who was then followed by Karim. Seto had summoned his Ka, the mighty Dios to protect his king.

"Well what have we have here?" asked Bakura, "Two priests and a pharaoh….my my…..what a love triangle…."

"Shut the hell up Tomb Robber!!" exclaimed Atem, "I had enough of your games!! Its time that we finished this!! Osiris, take flight, show Diabound your might!!!"

The god Osiris had flown to the skies it fought with Diabound move for move. Osiris unleashed its Thunder Force attack and Diabound struck back. It was an endless cycle, but endless doesn't really describe what is about to happen next.
