Chapter Eight
Everything was ready and everyone was in their exact places as when they were during the battle of Yami Marik and Mai. All of a sudden the sky got almost pitch black and there was a flash of light and there stood Yami Marik and he had the most macabre look on his face and Mai was so frightened but she tried not to show it. Everyone was ready and all of a sudden Yami Marik heard chanting and he knew that something was terribly wrong but because he was so intent on taking Mai back to the Shadow Realm, he let his guard down and that was just what Shadi was hoping would happen. Out of the shadows came, Shadi, Ishizu, Yami, Bakura and Seto and they meant business.
Yami Marik started laughing and he said "do you idiots think you can get the best of the all powerful Yami Marik" and then Seto raised the Millennium Rod and he chanted the words that Shadi had told him and he felt a power flow through him and it scared the hell out of him, but he didn't drop the rod. Seto kept saying the words and with the others chanting, all of a sudden Malik came out of his trance and he add his strength to theirs and there was a loud roar and the sky lit up with lightening bolts and thunder and then there was complete quiet and all of a sudden Yami Marik screamed and then he was gone. Joey ran to Mai and wrapped his arms around her and they fell to the ground and he started kissing her and whispering "baby you're alright" to her over and over, almost like he was trying not only to convince her but himself.
Malik fell to the ground and Odeon and Ishizu ran to him and the three of them held each other and tears fell. Seto still didn't know what the hell had just happened. Shadi walked over to him and with a hint of a smile he said "scared the hell out of you didn't it?" Seto looked at him like he was out of his mind and said "damn right and I never want to have to do that ever again." and he handed the Rod to Shadi and said "keep the damn thing" and he walked off and went to the bridge and ordered the Captain to turn this damn thing around and go back to Domino. Joey helped Mai up and they turned to their friends new and old and as tears ran down Mai's face she said "I love all of you and thanks for all your help." Tea, Tristan, Duke, Yugi, Ryou, Yami and Bakura went over and they all wrapped their arms around each other and they all laughed and cried. Odeon helped Malik up and Joey went over and stood looking at him and he said "how are you?" Malik tried to smile but failed and he started to cry and Joey grabbed him and held on tight. "I understand how you feel, if I had lost Mai I don't know what I would be doing now. If there is ever anything that I can do then I want you to let me know and I don't care when or where you are, call me and I come running because that's what friends do for friends." Malik looked at Joey and smiled and said "I thought that was Tea's speech" and everyone started laughing. Seto opened the door of the bridge and said "We're almost home, so get your things ready to depart and Joey glad to have helped." and then he walked back and closed the door. Everyone stood there and blinked "that's the first time I've ever heard him say he was glad about anything that had to do with any of us" Tristan said.
