Chapter Six

After Joey prayed for strength to help fight the monster that possessed his sister, he sat down next to the bed and fell asleep, he started to dream and in his dream he was facing Marik who said, "There isn't anything that you can do to help your sister, she's mine now."

Then in his dream, Joey turned around and behind him were Bakura, Yami, Shadi, Odeon and Solomon, and Yami said, "We are here to help you fight, we need to combined out strength and with the grace of God, we will destroy Marik's hold on Serenity."

Joey woke up with a start, he then stood up, kissed Serenity and left to go talk to Solomon about his dream, maybe there was a way to help save Rene.

When Joseph got to the Game Shop, he was surprised to see Yami, Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Shadi, Ishizu, Malik and Odeon already there. Solomon then said, "We've been waiting for you, now that you're here, we can begin."

Deep inside Serenity's mind, she felt Joey's love and it gave her hope, hope that maybe there was a way to break this hold that Marik has over her, she then closed her eyes and started praying, as she prayed, she heard her mother's voice and together they said this prayer:

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done,
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses (debts) as we forgive those who trespass against us (our debtors).
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever. Amen.

When Joseph sat down next to Ishizu, he grabbed her hand and then Ishizu felt the same sensation that he felt, Serenity was praying and lending her voice to her daughters was their mother.

Tears ran down both their faces, and Shadi hurried over to them and he said, "My love what's happening, why are you both crying?"

Ishizu then took hold of Shadi's hand and then he too heard what she and Joseph was hearing, Shadi then said, "Solomon, I believe that maybe the miracle we've been waiting for is happening how."

Ishizu looked at everyone there and she said, "Maybe, just maybe this is the sign we've been looking for, we've got to find a way to fight Marik before he destroys this beautiful young ladies mind."

Then Joey stood up and he said, "I can't do this by myself, I need your help, please help me stop Marik."

Yami then said, "We're here to do just that, so what do we do first?" Shadi said, "Somehow we have to find a way into the shadows where Marik can't sense our presence, then if we're successful and if Marik is outside his body then we take the shell and seal it in shadow magic so that he can not enter it.

Then all we have to do is wait until his spirit comes back and Yami, Bakura, Odeon and I will be able to make it dissolve and then it'll just disappear into nothingness.

Joey looked at Shadi and he asked, "After we get rid of Marik, what about my sister, she'll still be pregnant with his demon spawn, how will you make that disappear?"

Ishizu then said, "When Marik's gone, Shadi can make time go in reverse and all of this will cease to be, your sister will be safe and she'll forget all that's happened."

Joey then asked, "What about all of us, will we remember?"

Shadi then said, "For awhile, yes, but in time all of this will disappear from all our minds."

Joey said, "You've all been in the shadows, and have powers to protect yourselves, what'll happen to me when I go there?"

Ishizu then put her arm around him and said, "I'll be protecting you from here, you'll be safe." Joey then kissed her hand and said, "Well let's go, we've got to make that abomination leave my sister."

So then Shadi said, "Alright, we all have to take hands and close our eyes, then he began chanting and soon they all disappeared."

Then Ishizu closed her eyes and she began chanting and her magic surrounded Joseph to keep him safe while he was in the shadows.

Deep inside Serenity's mind, she felt something moving inside her and she touched her stomach and then she heard Marik's voice saying, "That's my child you feel moving inside you, it won't be long before you give birth to my son and then I'll be able to cross over and we'll begin our rein of terror on this world."

Serenity jerked her hand away from the thing growing inside her belly and she said, "I'll find a way to get rid of it, I can't allow it to be born."

Marik just laughed manically and said, "You can't do anything, there's nothing anyone can do to prevent my child from being born."

Serenity prayed that something would happen and she'd abort this thing growing inside of her, but would her prayers be answered?

Shadi and the others entered the shadows and so far, Marik didn't notice what they were doing, and then they made their way to where his body laid and Shadi said, "We've got to hurry, I feel him and he's coming, we've got to begin."

They all held hands and as Shadi began to chant, they felt the shadows begin to vibrate; it was Marik's spirit trying to get back to his body.

Shadi kept chanting and then all of sudden they heard this animalistic scream, it seemed to be coming from everywhere, Shadi said, "It's over, he will no longer cause any more trouble, he's gone."

Then Shadi said, "We need to get back, your sister is in trouble." Then he waved his hands and they were back inside the Ishtar's home, Solomon turned to Joseph and he said, "Lets go, we've got to get to the Hospital."

Then Shadi, Solomon and Joseph got into Solomon's car and he drove them to the hospital. As they hurried to Serenity's room, the doctors and Nurses were trying to get her heart to start beating, but they were losing her.
