Yugi sat slumped against the wall, blood rolling down his entire body from his mishap with Atem. Kairi decided to stay with Yugi while the others deal with Demon Atem. Yugi's eyes fell as the other Protectors pulled out their weapons. The wounded boy tried to stand up, but quickly fell back to the ground, groaning in pain. Kairi placed an arm around him in comfort. The others left the cell, leaving them alone.
-Throne Room-
"Say that again, Relinquished!" Demon Atem cried out, clenching his clawed hands into fists. "You mean to tell me that Atem has returned?" Relinquished nodded glumly as Demon Atem's left hand went aflame. The demon threw the fireball at the monster, destroying it with a blood-curling scream. Demon Atem leaned back on the throne in disgust as the doors to the throne room flew open. He stood up in bewilderment at the Protectors and Atem standing in front of him, scowling with rage.
"So," Demon Atem hissed to his light counterpart. "You have returned to help these poor fools you call your friends." Atem growled as he pulled out his sword. Brian cocked his shotgun while Chihiro and Joey activated their Duel Discs. Inuyasha pulled out his Fang Blade while Sesshomaru pulled out his energy whip. Ed and Al readied themselves for their alchemy, while Haku transformed into his dragon form. Demon Atem created another fireball in his left hand, smirking evilly.
"Prepare to die in cold blood, Pharaoh!" the demon laughed, throwing the flame straight at Inuyasha, who countered it with his Wind Scar attack, disappearing completely. Chihiro summoned St. Joan, while Joey summoned the Blue Flame Swordsman. Haku growled, leaping at the demon, fangs bared sharply. The dragon took hold of Demon Atem's arm, ripping out the flesh. The demon screeched out in pain, taking hold of its wounded arm, snarling and hissing. The swordsmen slashed at the demon, creating anger from him. Brian shot rapidly at Demon Atem's chest, but the bullets didn't seem to phase him. Demon Atem grabbed Brian by his arm, throwing him over his shoulder, which caused him to land on his back, nearly breaking his spine. Brian stood up, growling as he took hold of his shotgun once more.
"Pitiful human," Demon Atem laughed while the swordsmen slashed at the demon, drawing blood. "Your gun won't work on me." Suddenly, a bright light filled the room, a winged figure appearing, carrying a sword. It had a eagle mask atop its head, its clothing Indian style. Its white eagle wings glowed brightly when the light faded. It was Guardian Eatos, Kairi's monster. All over the demon were slash marks from the swords, blood falling from them. He lifted his distorted head, growling harshly. His entire body formed a pillar of fire, engulfing himself in the flames. Before it reached his face, the Protectors saw him smile wickedly.
"THIS IS YOUR DOOM!" he cried out, enlarging the pillar to surround the entire castle. "Prepare to die!" Kairi ran out of the dungeon, carrying Yugi in her arms. She looked around her for an exit. She found the main doors to the castle, but a bright light surrounded them. Looking down from their floating position, they saw Demon Atem in the middle of the towering inferno, making it spread out to the entire Dominion. The swordsmen lunged at him, stabbing him repeatedly. He screamed out in pain before dispersing into thin air.
"I'll be back!" they heard him cry out. "Just you wait! Soon, you will fall to my wrath!" Atem turned to the Protectors, watching the flames begin to reach them. Yugi looked up at the Pharaoh, scars beginning to form on his body.
"I must stay here to help the Dominion become normal once again," Atem whispered, taking hold of Yugi's hand. "Don't worry. I'll return someday." Yugi looked up at his friend's face, tears in his eyes.
"Promise?" the boy asked.
"Promise," Atem replied, the Protectors beginning to fade. Yugi reached out to the Pharaoh, but the world faded before he could reach his friend. When the light faded, they found themselves in front of the Game Shop, crickets chirping around them. Kairi set Yugi down, whose knees wobbled before he could properly stand.
"You okay, dude?" Joey asked his friend. Yugi nodded, turning to the game shop. "It's too bad that Atem isn't here now."
