Yugioh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi.

Mana constantly hears her name being called but she doesn't open her eyes. She fells too weak to do anything. The voice is very familiar though. In fact, she knows who it is even with her eyes shut. She feels someone's presence over her and then a warm feeling. Her strength starts to slowly return to her.

"Mana," the voice calls again and she slowly opens her eyes to see Atem there. The weird thing is that he is in his regular body and she is too.

"Atem," she says and he smiles. "You're…you…"

"Can you stand?"

"I-I think so." Mana sits up, looking around. There is nothing there. The whole place is white and there seems to be no limits to how large this place is. "Where are we?" she asks and she gasps all of a sudden. "Are we dead!?"

Atem chuckles. "No. You're having a dream," he answers, helping her up.

"I was in the middle of a battle when…Oh no…What am I going to do? Nothing's working!"

"You have to keep trying. You can't give up the first time nothing works."

"But I already used the Egyptian gods and they failed," says Mana and she bows her head. "I might as well give up."

"Don't talk like that." Mana shoulders starts to tremble and Atem narrows his eyes. "I realize how hard this is for you, but giving up is not an option."

Mana looks up with him with tears in her eyes. "But I--"

"Enough tears!" Atem yells, causing her to jump. "You can't cry or complain every time something becomes hard. There is a lot on the line here and people are counting on you. Do you realize what will happen if Bakura succeeds?"

"Yeah but…"

"Then stop your crying now."

"But I used all of the Egyptian gods," she tells him, wiping her tears.

"All but one."

"The Winged Dragon of Ra?" Mana asks and he nods.

"It is with this monster that Bakura's Diabound will be revealed."

"I get it. Because Ra is light monster, Diabound won't be able to hide."

"And his monster is weak against the light. Do you remember how to summon it?"

"I think so, yeah."

"Then go Mana. I know you can do this." Mana nods with a smile. "I'm counting on you."

Bakura approaches Atem and Mana as they lay on the ground motionless. He grins and puts his fist on his hip as he looks down at them. "Why isn't this nice? Now they'll be able to die together," he says and he calls Diabound. "Diabound, destroy them!"

Diabound opens its mouth, preparing to shoot an attack when something attacks it from behind, causing Bakura to spit up. He whips his head around to see Mahad standing with Illusion Magician by his side. "You! You'll pay for that!" He turns from Atem and Mana to battle against Mahad.

Atem partially opens his eyes. "Mana," he calls and she opens her eyes. "You must summon Ra now while you have the chance." Mana slowly gets up to her feet, gritting her teeth as she does so as pain shoots through her whole body.

Illusion Magician gets attacked by Diabound and it disappears. Mahad drops to one knee, holding his chest. He looks up as Bakura walks up to him with Diabound. "Now to finish you once and for--" He stops, hearing Mana mumble words and he turns around to see her eyes closed and her arms crossed over her chest. "What the--?"

"Oh mighty protector of the sun, sky, I beg of thee please, heed my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight…" A light starts to surround her and Bakura's eyes widen with horror.

'I can't let her do this!'

"I beseech thee, grace our humble game but first I shall call out they name…"

"Diabound at-"

"Dark Burning attack!" Atem yells and Dark Magician Girl attacks Bakura, sending him flying and crashing down to the ground. Atem grins before going to his hands and knees, breathing heavily.

"WINGED DRAGON OF RA!" Mana finally calls out and the gold dragon finally appears from the sky.

Bakura sits up and watches in fear as Ra finally makes its appearance. 'No! I was trying to prevent this from happening!'

"Now change into your phoenix form!" The dragon is suddenly engulfed in flames and it screeches. "This is the end for you Bakura! Attack!" The engulfed dragon starts to descend onto Diabound and finally it covers Diabound in flames. Bakura screams in pain as his whole entire body feels like its on fire. When the attack is over, the Winged Dragon of Ra ascends into the air, into the dark clouds, making them separate and the sun appears. Bakura falls to the ground, lying there lifeless.

Mana looks up into the bright blue sky with a weak smile on her face. She did it. Mahad walks up to her and places a hand on her shoulder. "Well done Mana. You defeated Bakura."

"I'm proud of you," Atem says approaching her from behind and she turns around.

"Thanks Atem, both of you. I couldn't have beaten him without your help."

"Well I guess as soon as we get to the palace, I can return you back to your bodies," says Mahad.

"Great…I'd like that…" Mana sighs before falling forward into Atem's arms.

"We must get her back to the palace," says Mahad and Atem nods in agreement before looking around to see that Bakura is nowhere in sight.

"That's strange…" he says.
"What's wrong?"

"That was a powerful attack Bakura took, yet he's nowhere in sight."

"Then he's still alive then?"

"I guess so."

Mahad sighs, "I was hoping that this would all be over. But I suppose I got my hopes up too soon."

"Regardless, we'll be ready the next time Bakura comes."

"That's right."

I know this was a short chapter but it's not over yet. Still another chappie to go! Anyway, please leave reviews.

P.S: That whole Winged Dragon of Ra chant was from the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" dub.
