Chapter Nine

As Yami followed Malik he walked towards his home and Yami was confused as why, but he soon found out when Ishizu appeared at the door and Malik started waving his arms in the air saying something weird in Egyptian and Yami knew that he was trying to put Ishizu under Marik's compulsion and she nodded her head and as he started walking back to the fountain she was following him.

Ishizu knew that Yami was standing in the distance and she with the help of Shadi was able to tell him that this was part of Shadi's plan to get Marik to come out into the open and that she was just fine. Then she continued following her brother till they arrived at the fountain and then Malik said "Master I have my sister with me and she wants to serve you too."

Then Marik appeared and as he looked at the woman standing there in front of him he began to laugh because he was so delusional thinking that he was going to possess her that he let his guard down enough for Shadi to start chanting and then Bakura appeared with Diabound behind him and as soon as it appeared and Shadi had almost completed his chanting Ishizu grabbed her brother and in the confusion Malik reached out to stop her, but he had knocked the Rod out of Marik's hand that's when Bakura roared "Marik you son-of-a-bitch where is Serenity Wheeler?"

Marik laughed out loud and he said "You'll never find her, she's my possession now and I'll never let her go." Then Marik struck out at Bakura and then Diabound appeared behind him and Marik threw back his head and started laughing manically as the said "That's going to stop me, I don't think so."

Ryou was sitting with Joey trying to confort him when he stood up and screamed "No Bakura, No!" Then he passed out and fell on the floor.

Joey grabbed him before he hit the floor and as they sat on the floor Ryou sobbed saying that Bakura was going to die, he's going to die." Joey then slapped Ryou and he said "Listen to me, I know Bakura is a fighter and he promised to come back to you and that's just what he's going to do, so come on and start believing in him and he will become victorious and he will come back."

Malik tried to get loose from Yami's grasp to go help his Master and all of a sudden Ishizu doubled up his fist and socked him in his face and knocked him out to Yami's surprise and she said "I may seem to be wimpy, but I'm stronger them people know."

As they stood there watching the battle rage on, no one could believe that Marik would be so daring as to strike out at Diabound and live, but that's just what he did. Then Marik threw his hands in the air and he yelled "I call upon all the spirits that have served me and now they will serve me once again in this battle" and then it seemed that Marik actually got stronger right in front of their eyes and Yami whispered "What the hell has Marik done?"

Shadi told him "He's somehow learned how to harness the energy from the dark spirits of the Shadow Realm and has called upon them to aide him in this battle and if Bakura can't find a way of stopping him then Diabound may just force him to use his special powers and if Bakura isn't strong enough to hold on then we will lose Bakura forever and I for one will not allow that to happen."

Shadi then stood up and he raised his hands towards the heavens and started chanting and when Yami heard the words he stood up and joined in and then from deep inside of Bakura they heard him chanting the same words and all of a sudden Diabound's eyes turned deep blood red and he let out the most terrifying roar and he threw his body around and hit Marik with his serpents tail and sent Marik flying into the air and when he landed on the ground Diabound was standing over him with Bakura standing on his shoulders and Bakura said once more "Where is Serenity Wheeler?"

Marik still was laughing as he raised his arms and then from out of nowhere a bolt of lightening came and struck Diabound and it just bounced off to Marik's surprise and then it was Bakura's turn to start laughing as he said "Try your best to stop him but I will tell you you'll fail. Diabound is at full strength and since you won't answer me then I have no choice but to do this." Bakura raised his arm and shouted "Finish him now!!!"

At Ryou's home he stood up and screamed "God Bakura what have you done?"

Shadi and Yami both yelled "NOOOO!"

Then as they watched Diabound actually ate Marik and the Bakura said "Now link with me, Diabound link with me."

As everyone stood there watching Diabound lowered his head till he was looking Bakura right in the eye and then Bakura touched his face and he yelled out to Shadi "You'll find her in the lower chambers under the fountain the entrance is on the other side behind a big shrub. Go, go now and get her and then get the hell out of here!"
