(The Next Morning)
Gabrielle quietly makes her way to her classes, the night before Gabrielle had a nightmare once again about Zorc and her friends. She sighs as she takes her seat near the window and looks at the board of her advanced english class. She notices Natsu and Yukio enter together, both smiling and laughing. She smirks, they are so into each other and now the other girls are glaring at Natsu. Why do girls get so jealous? Although, Gabrielle isn't one to talk her and Tea did get into an argument once about Atem.
"So you and Yukio?" Gabrielle teases Natsu as she takes her seat.
"Shh! It's not like that," Natsu denies.
"Sure it's not~"
Natsu's face turns light pink making Gabrielle laugh, this reminds her of her time with Tea as she teased her about her crush on Yugi. This causes Gabrielle to stop laughing and look down. Natsu looks at her and can feel the change in her energy, what happened to her friends that made her like this?
(Yugi's POV)
"No matter how we go, Zorc is going to see us," Duke says.
"Well it doesn't help that he has eyes everywhere and we are in the middle of a freakin desert," Tristan comments.
"We will have to fight to get back to the palace," Atem says.
"But there are so many demons, we can only get so far before we have to run back here," Joey says.
"We don't have much choice Joey," Maria comments. "If we want to be able to go home before our loved ones are gone we have to do this."
"I agree with Maria," I say. "I want to see grandpa again."
"It would be easier to do if we had a goddess with us," Tristan whispers.
I watch as Marik and Bakura slap the back of Tristan's head, we have been keeping quiet about Gabrielle. It is not easy on any of us that she is gone but Maria and Atem are the ones who take it the hardest.
"We will get back to her Atem," I whisper to my friend.
"I hope you are right, Yugi," Atem sighs. "I want to see her again, I cannot lose her."
"We will."
I wish I was as confident as I sound, who knows how long we have been here and what happened back home.
(TCA, four months later)
"I cannot believe you guys," Gabrielle hisses at her friends/teammates. "How can you just turn on him? He has proven to us that he is our friend!"
"He is the son of satan and has his powers," Bon says. "You saw his powers!"
"Yea, I did, he activated them to stop that green haired freak from killing us," Gabrielle reminds. "He has been keeping it quiet because of this, he did not want you guys to judge him by who is father is. He wants to kill Satan, not be him. No one should be judge on who their parent is but by who they are."
"...She's right," Izumo says after some time. "No one should be judge on who their parents are, we aren't judging Yukio are we?"
"Rin has done a lot for us," Shieme adds. "He saved our lives in the forest."
Yukio looks at Gabrielle, he surprised that she stood up for Rin so easily.
"Gabi...your forehead..." Shima starts.
Everyone looks as a blue crescent moon appears on Gabrielle's forehead.
"I know what it is like to have something so powerful in you and it's hard to control," Gabrielle tells them, showing her millennium bracelet. "I am the reborn goddess of the night and queen of Egypt, Selene."
They look at her in shock as the power slowly vanishes, they all decide to help Rin. They break into the Vatican and get to Rin they give him his sword and he takes on his half brother and defeats him. As Angel tries to kill him, Gabrielle gets in the way and her goddess powers show themselves.
"Do not even try it," Gabrielle hisses.
"What are you?" Angel demands.
"She is the Goddess of the Night," one of the leaders say. "She holds the millennium bracelet."
Angel looks at Gabrielle in shock, but soon glares at her, how can this girl have so much power?
"Thank you, all of you," Rin says. "I am sorry for not telling you the truth."
"We get it man, but next time don't be so stupid and trust us!" Bon yells, putting RIn into a headlock.
The others laugh as Rin tries to get free from Bon's grip, things seem to be looking up. Gabrielle doesn't sense their doubt or anger now like she did before, Gabrielle and Shima look at one another and nod. Shima pushes Yukio while Gabrielle pushes Natsu, making the two to bump into each other. The two blush bright red holding onto one another.
"Just kiss already!" Bon and Rin call to them.
Yukio glares at the two while Natsu takes the insative and kisses Yukio.
"About time," Gabrielle sighs.
(That Night)
Gabrielle falls asleep, unlike the last few months, Gabrielle finds herself in a dark plane.
"Hello?" Gabrielle calls, walking around.
As she walks, she sees only one other person, she tries to get a better look and instantly recognizes the person.
"Atem!"
Atem turns, his eyes are glazed over and Gabrielle can tell Zorc is messing with him. She looks behind him to see...well her but she is insulting him. Gabrielle runs up to Atem and wraps her arms around him.
"Atem, it's not real. I would never hurt you, I love you and you know that. I gave my life for you and I would do it over and over again to see you safe."
"I-ife?" Atem asks as the illusion of evil Gabrielle vanishes.
"Yes, it's me, I am here," Gabrielle smiles, looking into his eyes.
"You're back, I am so happy to see you."
"Oh Atem, I am so happy you are okay. I wish I was right by your side."
Atem looks at her in confusion and he looks around, he sees their friends all on the ground with someone standing over them. Gabrielle looks at this and pulls out her sword, she runs at the other illusions and destroys them.
"S-sis?" Maria asks, looking up.
"Hi Mari," Gabrielle smiles, helping her up.
"B-but how? Why are you here? How are you here?" Maria asks as the others gather around.
"I am not actually here," Gabrielle explains. "I am asleep right now in my room. I guess the bracelet linked us together."
"How long have we been gone?" Tristan asks, worried they have missed a lot of time.
"About six months, I'm sure it hasn't felt like much time to you guys."
They all sigh with relief, only six months have passed. Before they can ask Gabrielle anymore, she begins to vanish seeing that she is waking up from her sleep.
"I promise, I will get you guys out of here and defeat Zorc!" Gabrielle says before completely vanishing.
Gabrielle jolts awake as the alarm goes off, she sighs and sits up before smiling. She saw them again and they are still alive, that gives her more determination to save them.
