I DON'T ANYTHING!
Ch 12: Personal demons
(Inside Zoey's mind)
Again, I was in the eternal darkness but this time I wanted to stay there. My own mother hated me and wished I were never born, everything was so confusing, and everything was dark and cold. For first time in my life, I wished I was normal then my mother would love me.
Out of nowhere, Agent Dark started appeared and so did Dr. Whitman. "Hello dad" I said angrily to Whitman, "hmm, Annie told you the truth I'm not surprised," said Whitman.
"So that dream about my past is lie," I said (A/N: Zoey's talking about the dream in part five).
"Yep, all the more reason to join us," said Agent Dark. I got up and then said, "Yeah, well join this!" I summon a metal a saw and I spit it in two saws and send both of them, it hitting both of them directly.
I heard something drop a few minutes later. I closed my eyes and open expecting Whitman and Agent Dark to be dead, instead Whitman and Dark stood behind seven agents.
I was outnumbered I didn't care anymore "Your agents don't scare me Dr. Whitman and Agent Dark," I said. Again, I summoned a saws, spit it to seven saws, and pushed the pikes toward them.
The saws traveled at maximum speedand words I never heard before come from my mouth, "Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my chamber door!" but then someone stopped my pikes by shouting. "Quote the Raven, 'Nevermore!'" that someone was my guardian angel Atemu.
Yugi again felt the same thing as he did when he saw Zoey trying to kill the agent with the army pants. Yugi felt as he had found a lost friend one word went across his lips. "Atemu," Yugi whispered.
Joey heard from this from Yugi, Joey then looked at his best friend's face, Joey had a look in it as if he was hiding something, Kaiba, saw this look as well. Annie was not as evil as she said to be the truth was that she loved Mai and Zoey just as they were.
However, Zoey had to concur, her own personal demons. This was for Zoey's own good. Zoey started to stand up "Guys she's getting up" said Mai but something was wrong Zoey seemed to be possessed her eyes had distant look to them as if she was not in this world.
"Yeah well join this!" Zoey shouted suddenly the metal pond that was behind her started to form a huge saw it spit into two pikes. One headed to Steven, which he easily dodged the saw using old agent techniques that he was taught.
The saw hit a random male agent and killed him. Another pike headed toward Annie, Steven knew she could dodge that as easily as he did. However, Annie would not move, she would accept her own death she thought she deserved it for telling Zoey lies just to activate all the codes.
Annie just stood there and was accepting her own death when Steven knocked her out of the way the saw killed Agent Moonlight. (Editor's note to author: didn't even remember she was there lol)
"What do you think you're doing Steven?" said Annie dusted herself off. "I understand now you're helping, Zoey aren't you, I know," said Steven. "You don't know anything!" Annie snapped.
"Oh really!" said Steven, he went and searched through the sheared agent Light costume found a gun that looked like it was only been used once. "Shot Zoey Annie, if you're not helping her," said Steven.
"Are you nuts? Giving Annie a gun is like giving a key to a bank to a thief!" shouted Mai. Everyone thought the same thing as Mai on that note.
Annie smiled an angry grin; she took a shooter stance and pointed the gun at Zoey. She still stared at Annie 'don't look at me that way kid'' thought Annie.
The metal Tri horned dragon began roared at Annie, "I…I can't do it" she said dropping the gun. "You purposely let Kaiba delete the codes improperly so all the codes activate at once, you knew if did not activate them all at once these codes would haunted Zoey for the rest of her life. You knew Zoey had to be really depressed for them to activate them all," said Steven. Annie nodded her head. "So you do think that Mai's a freak?" asked Joey. "No" said Annie. "But that doesn't change the fact that you left Zoey here to die, and you tried to kill me," said Mai angry. "I…"Annie tried to say.
"Hey guys I hate to interpret but Zoey trying to kill us, again," said Yugi. He and the gang saw a saw pointed at each one of them. "You're agents don't scare me Dr. Whitman and Agent Dark!" shouted Zoey.
"She thinks we are agents," said Kaiba. "Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my chamber door,"said ZoeyThe saws traveled at maximum speed lucky the pikes were stopped by an inch short.
(Inside Zoey's, mind third person)
Atemu the guardian angel stopped the seven saws by saying, "Quote the Raven, Nevermore"he said. "Atemu what the… TRAITOR!" Zoey shouted at him. "Traitor? No you don't understand, Zoey" Atemu tried to explain.
"I understand you're defending agents who are protecting Whitman and agent Dark," Zoey said. Atemu turned around he did not see what Zoey was seeing he saw Zoey had a saw pointed each one of his old friends.
'It must have begin,' thought Atemu. "Zoey you're not killing agents listen to me, you're killing your friends," Atemu said. "Wrong Atemu, I'm killing Whitman even if he is my father, as long he and agent Dark is alive. I'll never be free," snapped Zoey.
"Zoey you're already free Whitman's already dead so is Agent Dark, these codes are messing with your head," said Atemu. "They seem… so real," said Zoey slowly. "I know," said Atemu. Zoey garbed her head and then she said, "Maybe you're lying, to me, maybe you're an illusion made by the codes," said Zoey. "No I am not an illusion and I have never lied to you so why would I start now?" asked Atemu, "Here let me show something to you," he said.
Mai saw that Zoey came back with a look of complete look of terror in her eyes "no… he was right," said Zoey. Mai wondered whom the 'he' Zoey was referring too.
The pikes dropped to ground suddenly, everyone forgave Zoey for trying to kill all of them, they were just glad to get her back. Steven smiled at Zoey, it was great to have her back at this point, it didn't even matter that she was not his real daughter. Zoey still had unanswered questions about Steven and Annie, ones Steven was ready to answer now.
(Zoey's P.O.V)
I can't believe that I tried to kill my own friends, but they forgave me anyways. Now I hated those codes they made me try to kill my own friends. Yugi who helped escape the CWS. Kaiba who let me stay at his secret mansion, Mai who broke me out of a coma, Pegasus who shed some light into my once dark world, Joey who still kept the secret about my guardian angel.
They are my friends and I tried to kill them, I was very grateful for Atemu my guardian angel without him I would in the eternal darkness, Two innocent agents would be dead, and I would have been Whitman's slave.
I hoped that he would forgave me too because I called him a traitor. Something was wrong the eternal darkness would let me go it was trying to drag me back, I try to fight back it but it was too strong.
Back and in the eternal dark again but I would not let the illusions fool me this time I would not let it hurt my friends again by my hands.
I was staring straight into the face of Agent Dark again. "Go away agent Dark you are dead!" I yelled at him.
Somehow, for a dead guy, he was not listening. I could felt his evil making me afraid making me, feel so helpless. I knew he was not the real agent Dark, for he was dead… right?
Mai saw Zoey's eyes had that distant look to them again and everyone back up at safe distance, but Mai would let not the codes control Zoey. Mai ran to Zoey but the metal Tri horned dragon would have nothing of it and tried to attack Mai. "Mai watch out!" Joey yelled.
Just when Tri horned dragon was to slash her again. Mai give the metal dragon a hard look that was when it stopped, and let Mai pass, "Zoey" she said. "Come on little sis whatever going on in that head of yours, is not real," Mai garbed Zoey's shoulder no response from the girl. Zoey bowed her head as if she did something wrong. "Atemu," Zoey responded. "Atemu?" Mai said loudly. "The Pharaoh?" Yugi asked automatically.
Joey looked like he was sweating bullets suddenly, "What are you nervous about mutt does it have anything to do with a curtain guardian ang…" Kaiba did not get to finish because Joey covered his mouth Joey looked like a deer caught in headlights.
Joey snuck off with Kaiba "Ahh sorry folks but there is nothing to see here," Joey said dragging Kaiba to somewhere where nobody else could hear them. Joey uncovered Kaiba's mouth and he looked pissed "Wheeler you ever do that again and you'll be eating your dog food through a straw," Kaiba threatened.
"Fine, whatever but did Zoey tell about that dream," Joey whispered. "Yeah in fact she made this," said Kaiba as reached into his pocket. Kaiba showed Joey the metal Atemu angel statue.
"She made me promise to not tell anyone, about Atemu the guardian angel, so please, don't tell everyone else," said Joey. "But, I don't see why we can't tell others," said Kaiba.
"She must be worried that we might think she's crazy," said Joey. "She has an abnormal power and that is what's she is worried about?" asked Kaiba. Joey shrugged his shoulders.
Yugi was getting curious so he went closer to them. "What are you two up to," said Yugi. Both Joey and Kaiba jumped and had the deer caught in headlights look on their faces. Kaiba hid the statue behind his back, "us nothing" they both said with fake smiles on their faces.
"Then what are you hiding Kaiba?" asked Yugi. Now it was Kaiba's turn to be sweating bullets, "Come on show what's in your hands" said Yugi sounding like a mother.
Kaiba sighed and showed his hands they were empty. "See I told you nothing," said Kaiba. Yugi sighed, "ok whatever," he said and went to go keep Steven Company.
"Whew" Joey and Kaiba said. "Nice job taking the statue," said Kaiba. "I didn't take I thought you put in your pocket" said Joey.
Soon they realized that neither one had the statute, that's when they both herd a whistle from some one. Pegasus waved, with the statue in his hand at them, and a funny smile on his face. Leaving Joey and Kaiba dumbfounded, "I'll never undermine that man again," said Kaiba. Joey nodded in agreement.
Mai tried to get something else from Zoey, "Dark is back," Zoey whimpered as she fell her knees. "What are you talking about Zoey he's dead," said Mai. "Hello my two blossoms," said a voice. As Mai heard the voice, she turned around in fear, "No!" Mai said. Sure enough, it was the evil know as Agent Dark standing as if nothing had happened to him.
Zoey's mind in her point of view
I felt his presence as he trapped me in a glass cage, hearing his breathing I am more convinced that he wasn't, he wasn't died. I couldn't move I fell on my knees "no" I repeated. I had trouble breathing. "Please make him go away," I said in fear. I herd his evil laughter ringing my ears.
"You're supposed to dead," Mai said. "Yes well I'm back thanks to illegal cloning," said Agent Dark with a smug look on his face. "But I'm not the agent Dark you remember I'm a project just like the one you call Zoey," he said. Zoey whispered, " Please make him go away."
Kaiba having a flashback suddenly
Kaiba remembered when Zoey went out her tent to look the moon, then he thought, he might join her and then he put a hand on her shoulder that when she panicked and said presidents of United States in alphabetic order begged some guy named agent Dark not to hurt her.
Kaiba put his hand other shoulder, Zoey pleaded again when she saw it was only Kaiba she hugged him, and pleaded for agent Dark to kept away from her while clinging to him.
End flashback
'Keep Dark away, keep him away from me,' echoed in Kaiba's mind. Kaiba still seeing the scars that Zoey hid beneath her shirt, the promise he made to Zoey echoed through his mind too. "I will make sure of it," he said. However, Kaiba thought he was seeing double, because agent Dark at that moment looked like Gosaburo Kaiba.
"You!" said Kaiba shouted, he did something nobody expected, He tackled agent Dark to the ground punched him a few times in the face.
"Let's see how you like being treated like a punching bag," he said. Everyone just stood there in awe.
Agent Dark threw one punch hitting Kaiba once in stomach and Kaiba mashed his teeth agent Dark garbed Kaiba's shoulders pushed him off. Dark sent Kaiba sailing towards one of the lab's walls and he almost smashed into the wall when Wheeler softened the blow.
Kaiba, got up, wiped some blood from the corner of his mouth, and gave agent Dark the famous 'you are dead' look.
"Thanks mutt" said Kaiba looking at him. Joey smiled even if he was hurting everywhere else.
Although Kaiba called him 'mutt' at lease, he thanked him that was something. "You're welcome Moneybags," said Joey.
"Wheeler what do say we take him together," said Kaiba with a smirk and cracking his knuckles. Joey nodded both Joey and Kaiba ran to agent Dark, and both jumped to tackle him.
"Freeze" said Agent Dark sounding like a policeman but that's when they froze in midair. Agent Dark shook his head "I guess you two weren't listening, when I spoke about the being a project," he said.
Mai again started glowing as she felt something drain her strength. Mai then figured that agent Dark was using her power. "I have Project X's power to steal other projects power," said Agent Dark.
Project X don't what going on but the urge to protect Zoey grow, he needed her to safe and now was time to was about to give Agent Dark a taste of his own medicine. When another project glowed, and some weird power spread through the whole room.
All of a sudden, everyone in the room expect agent Dark and Zoey fell to the floor to watch helplessly. Agent Dark went closer and closer to Zoey. The metal Tri horned tried to attack agent Dark with its claws. "explode" said agent Dark. The metal tri horned dragon exploded, leaving a liquid metal all over the room. Zoey whimpered while she on her knees. "You leave her alone," said Steven.
(Zoey's mind in her POV)
"Fight him Zoey I know you can," said my guardian angel. "Atemu I can't I'm afraid," I admitted. "Come on if you can fight the ultimate project you can fight your own personal demons," he said to me. "What are personal demons?" I asked, "Personal demons are problems or pains of the past that you hold inside and let them torment you," Atemu explained. "Oohhh," I reposed. "You broke out of this cage before remember," Atemu said with a smile. "You're right I can do it again," I said. In addition, my arms turned a metal claws then I broke that cage again "and I forgive you," Atemu said. I smiled and nodded at him. I stared into agent Dark's eyes or as Atemu called him 'my personal demon'.
Agent Dark picked Zoey off the floor she was limp like a rag doll, "Hello Project Z" he said with sneer, with. Agent Dark garbed her chin to make her face him so he could see the fear in her eyes. Instead, Agent Dark got a distant look from the young girl.
Which pleased him even more, agent Dark got out an evil chuckle. Agent Dark ran his fingers through Zoey's hair. In addition, kissed Zoey once on her cheek, then Dark garbed one Zoey's shoulder, which was where recent scars were and squeezed it.
Zoey yelped in pain, while agent Dark smiled a lustfully grin. "You're mine Z, and there's nothing anybody could do about it, this time," said Agent Dark. Zoey started to shiver.
(Zoey's mind in her POV)
Agent Dark kissed my on my cheek, the bastard also squeezed my recent wounds caused by him. His hot dinosaur like breath went in my face. This was causing me to panic. This no illusion I feel so helpless so powerless to stop him. "You are not real just a personal demon," I said.
I used my claws to scratch him leaving deep wounds in his face. "You're mine Z, and there's nothing anybody could do about it," said agent Dark. "I AM NOT YOURS! And I'm going to do something about it," I snapped at him.
"You're just my personal demon, one I want to be rid of forever," Zoey whispered metal claws formed on Zoey hands and she used to slash agent Dark's face there was deep gashes in face. "I AM NOT YOURS!" Zoey screamed as she garbed him slammed his face to the floor. "That's right, fight him" Pegasus said. "You are to going pay for that you worthless slave," said Agent Dark getting up wiping his face.
(Zoey's mind in her point of view)
"You are to going pay for that you worthless slave," said agent Dark. 'Worthless slave' echoed through my mind. I see flashbacks Whitman saying that right after I passed out, worthless slave rang repeatedly, through my whole mind. Anger pure anger went through my veins.
(End POV)
Yugi, Mai, Joey, Kaiba, Steven and Pegasus could get up but they can't move because of the weird power, so they had to stand there helplessly. "Agent Dark, don't touch her," said Mai. "I see you have gotten up, not that it matters because I'm killing you all," said Dark. Then a scream of anger came from Zoey "WORTHLESS SLAVE I'll show you worthless slave!" Zoey shouted on the top of her lungs a silvery light beamed out of her. Project X then get a idea to kill Agent Dark "Z, you have hit him with everything you got, he can only absorb a little at a time," said project X. "Thank you X," Zoey said looking towards the fellow project. Zoey pushed agent Dark away "Don't you EVER, touch me again," she said with a very pissed off look on her face. "You want my power I'll give to you, my power however you're going to regret it," said Zoey, the liquid metal that was scatted around the room gathered into a metal pike. The projects saw this happening and so did the agents "Ahh much to absorb!" screamed agent Dark.
Zoey sent the saw through Agent Dark, that's when agent Dark became nothing but dust. However, one saw was going too fast for Zoey to stop and the saw was heading toward Mai.
That's when Annie knocked Mai out of the way unfortunately; the saw hit her in her lung hard. Annie fell gasping for air since she was now dieing there no point playing games any more.
"I'm sorry, for saying all these things, it was only because I was trying to get all these codes so you never be haunted by them ever again. What I said was a lie. Dr. Whitman made a zygote and injected chemical Z into you, while your were grown in my womb as you the same happened with Mai. He made me kidnapped you and Mai, he would have turned you into area 51 if I do not kidnapped you, I glad you were born Zoey and Mai, I love you both," said Annie.
The sprinkler system went off washing off the weird power. Yugi and the gang could easily move again. Steven immediately went to Annie and held her "Honey I want you to know I forgive you and I love you" he said holding her close to him.
"I love you Steven I wish I had more time with you, Zoey and Mai". Mai now loved her mother and was able to forgive her. "I love you mom you're not monster," said Mai.
Mai helped Zoey up to bring her closer. "Mom, she's dying, someone do something" said Zoey in a panic. "Zoey, I want remember I will always love you and Mai no matter what you both do or who you are," said Annie. Annie tried to reach for Zoey, "I'll always be with you," said Annie putting her hand on Zoey's shoulder. Annie died, then from a collapsed lung in Steven's arms. Zoey cried she was so depressed for her mother dying. Steven let Annie lay died in his arms. However, it was far over because the dust formed into agent Dark again, but nobody noticed that went into Zoey's ear.
(Zoey's mind in her POV)
'I killed her I kill my own mother she gave me birth and I killed her,' thought Zoey. "It was accident you don't even know that you would hit Mai," encouraged Atemu. "I tried to kill my older sister that doesn't confront me any Atemu," Zoey said. "As I said it was an accident," said Atemu. "You were right my angry got the best of…" Zoey started to say. "Zoey don't beat yourself up for this, it was just too much for you, you had to let go of the angry that you keep inside of you and you directed at agent Dark you don't know that your weapon would through him and hit Mai," said Atemu.
(Zoey's POV)
I tried to not let my tears out I really did, but I could not take it anymore that when I break down crying "let it out Zoey let it all out," Atemu said hugging me and I hugged back. Suddenly ropes formed around me pulling me away my guardian angel. "What's going on?" I asked, "I can't move help." I looked up and there he was, Agent Dark had came back "You, you're dead I killed you" I said. "You just don't get it, Zoey you can never get rid of me," said he said. "No," I yelled. "Oh yes and I'll absorb your power to destroy this building killing everyone in here," he told me. I tried my best to get out but nothing worked the ropes were just too strong. Agent Dark hands were going to touch me when Atemu, pushed him away "not if I have anything to say about it," he said.
"Who the hell are you and what the hell is your problem?" asked agent Dark. "That's really none your business," said Atemu. "Fine, whatever, don't I care, just move out of my way," snapped Agent Dark.
"I can't do that," said Atemu. "Why is that?" asked Dark. "Because my job is to help and protect her," said Atemu.
"What are ya some sort of knight in shinning armor?" snapped agent Dark. "You can say that, how about we play a game," said Atemu crossing him arms. "What sort of game?" asked Agent Dark taking same posture as Atemu. "The game of duel monsters," Atemu said. "Sounds fun but I have better things to do then stand here and play with a knight, I have people to kill and things to blow up," said Dark.
"You're not scared of me beating you," said Atemu. "Please" spat Dark. "Let's say if you win, I'll let you do whatever you want to Zoey but if I win you have leave Zoey alone forever," said Atemu. "What kind of weirdo are you?" said agent Dark. "Do you accept?" asked Atemu with that famous (A/N: and just plain sexy) 'don't mess with me smile'. "Fine let's do it" said Agent Dark.
(Outside of Zoey's brain)
Everyone bowed their heads as they mourned the death of Annie Valentine. Everyone also tried to confront Zoey. However, nothing worked as Zoey limped in the middle of the room, stayed on her knees and break down crying.
Mai went go to confront Zoey. Joey garbed her and shook his head, "I think she needs some space" said Joey. Mai nodded, a few minutes later Zoey took out the Tri horned dragon that Pegasus gave her. Zoey tossed it right at Yugi. Yugi looked confused "Atemu Take this" she said. "Did she just call you Atemu, Yugi?" asked Mai.
(Zoey's brain POV)
Atemu was to start the duel but I somehow was loose enough to get the Tri horned dragon that was hidden my pocket. "Atemu take this" I said I tossed the only card I had to him.
Atemu caught it "but Zoey I can't take this your favorite card" he looked at me worried. "I know but it's the lease I can do to help," I said. "How touching can we please get this over with?" said agent Dark impatiently.
(A/N: I only have one duel this story so I'm keeping this duel short so let's just say agent Dark put a good fight and now both players are down to one monster on each side)
Both agent Dark and Atemu were down their last 100 life points Agent dark managed to summon Buster Blader (2600) when Atemu summoned Tri horned dragon (2850), but it gave Buster Blader an extra 500 life points, (3100) while agent dark had no face down cards while Atemu had one.
"So psycho guess I win since I have the stronger monster," Dark gloated. "This game isn't won until you attack," said Atemu looking worried. "As you wish go Buster Blader destroy that dragon," however, just as agent Dark was to destroy Tri horned dragon and win the game.
"I don't think so I'll active a magic card it's called Mystic Plasma Zone and what it does is it increases a dark type monster by 500. However it decreases the defense by 400 it's small price but it's worth it," said Atemu (A/N: for people who are as bad in math as I am the Tri horned dragon attack points are now 3350).
"All right you win," said agent Dark. "Now untie Zoey and be on your way or do I have to teach you another lesson," snapped Atemu. I was happy that Atemu but then a glass case fell, Atemu, trapping him inside suddenly, as Dark went toward me.
"That wasn't part of the deal," said Atemu. "Yeah well I don't take orders from psychos, if I did, I would be watching for the mother ship with tin hat on," laughed Dark. "This case won't hold me, I'll break out and then you'll sorry!" shouted Atemu. Atemu tried to break the case but something stopped him as he saw the duel monster card that I gave him start to glow.
Yugi was trying to figure out why Zoey called him 'Atemu' and then gave him a duel monster card. However, he could not come up with anything. "Joey maybe we should tell him about the dream after Atemu was Yugi's best friend" whispered Kaiba to Joey. "No, I'm sure Zoey will tell the rest of us when she feels comfortable" said Joey.
Something weird happened suddenly, the Tri horned that Zoey gave Yugi began to glow with a silvery light. "No, not again, Agent Dark isn't done with Zoey," Steven said. "But he's died she killed him right front of us," said Mai. "I don't know how it happened but whoever made agent Dark, gave him the ability to become a code after death," said Steven.
"Are we ever going come out of this twilight zone?" said Joey. "If you think it's bad just think how it's like for Zoey in there," said Pegasus.
(Atemu's P.O.V)
Agent Dark trapped me in this, glass case I could easily break out it. However, this man hurt a sweet innocent girl like Zoey for doing absolutely nothing wrong other than having a special gift. If this guy, were around during when I was pharaoh, he would have bashed in the shadow realm forever in a heartbeat. (Editor's Note: and we all know it too)
That's when the card that Zoey gave me began to get an eerie glow. I don't know how it happened but the card in my hand become the real Tri horned dragon.
The Tri Horned dragon broke the glass case with its claws. I was going to give Dark a piece of my mind when great scream came from Zoey. With made no sense since agent Dark nowhere near Zoey.
(Zoey's POV)
I soon realized that Agent Dark was right I could never get rid of him, he going to be my personal demon until the day I die.
There was only one way to make sure he would never bother me, and it required whatever power I had left.
(Outside)
Whatever metal was left in room gathered and shirred around Zoey, It slowly was forming a liquid metal tornado around her.
"What's happening to Zoey, Steven?" asked Yugi. "I have no clue," said Steven.
Copper wires and pipes came out of the wall. "It's the end of the world," said Joey. "Don't be stupid Mutt it isn't end of the world it just looks that way," said Kaiba. Project X can't do noting watch but a part told him that this was Zoey's fight.
A huge saw appeared just the one that killed the ultimate project. The metal saw was pointed right at Zoey, and was backing up towards her as if she were aiming for herself, "Zoey trying to comment suicide" said Pegasus. Project X quickly garbed the saw and so did the other projects. Project X going let her die if it was the last thing he did.
Yugi and others gasped and garbed the enormous saw trying to stop it. "This is the only way to get rid him forever," said Zoey. "She must be talking about agent Dark," said Steven struggling to keep the saw still.
Some agents including Agents Lighting and Thunder helped hold that pike. Steven looked at them, "We agreed to help you, because we believe that Zoey has suffered enough unjust punishment," Lighting said. Steven sighed thankful that some of the CWS agents share his view.
However, other agents had put up their guns, "We are loyal to Whitman let her kill herself," said the other agents. The other agents draw their guns but there was one thing they did not plan on that their guns were made of metal, and they melted and formed in the gigantic saw.
"We don't follow Whitman's his teaching of punishment because of a special gift now that he's dead there is no point of us being his lackeys," said agent Lighting. "That lady did nothing wrong and it isn't right to let the innocent die," said agent Thunder. Some of the Agents along with Yugi and gang was holding the saw tried to stop the saw from killing Zoey.
(Zoey POV)
I refused to feel helpless, I refuse to let agent Dark touch me. I pointed the saw towards myself; this was to only way to get rid of him, Agent Dark just stood, there watching this.
The Tri horned dragon holding the saw and so did Atemu. They trying were to prevent me from killing myself. "Please let go let me die it's the only way," I pleaded.
"No I refuse to let you kill yourself," said Atemu. "There is always another way," said Atemu.
"He will haunt me for the rest of your life, I can't handle that," I said letting a tear fall. "Come on Zoey, you can't do this, this isn't the only way give rid of agent Dark and what about the other projects, they see you as role model, and you killing yourself, it would make them do the same," said Atemu. "Your friends don't want to see you dead they trying to hold the saw also and your big sister she would be extremely sad if you die…"said Atemu, "Zoey you got to trust me," told the angel Pharaoh.
I do trust him he was right about everything so far, so I slowly let the pike on the ground and it melted to big metal pond. Agent Dark was coming closer to me when the Tri Horned dragon blocked his way. "Move you stupid dragon," said Dark the Tri Horned shook his head if it were human it would have a smug look on its face. "Yeah you're going stop me you and what army?" asked agent Dark.
(Outside Zoey's brain)
The saw slowly landed on the ground and it melted into a metal pond. Steven sighed. "That was a close one," said Mai "you're telling me," said Agent Lighting. "Will she be okay?" asked agent Thunder.
Steven shrugged his shoulders, "Only time will tell," he said. Just when everything was back to normal, that's when everyone pockets began to glow. Mai, Joey, Kaiba, Pegasus and Yugi found that their old duel monsters decks were glowing.
Out each of the deck, a duel monster card floated from the deck. Each card was a favorite card from each person. Cyber Harpy Lady, (E/N: found out that was her favorite one now) Red eyes black dragon, Blue eyes white dragon, Dark magician, and Toon magician Dark Girl, the Tri horned dragon card led the way the other duel monsters followed and began to circle Zoey shinning and glowing around her.
(In Zoey's, mind third person)
Duel monsters stood beside the Tri Horned Dragon formed a wall-stopping agent Dark. Atemu felt that Zoey needed to be held, so that's what he did. "Are you doing this somehow?" asked Zoey. "No Zoey your friends are doing this, they are trying to help you destroy Dark," answered Atemu.
Zoey cried but this time they were grateful tears. Atemu hugged Zoey even harder, and started rubbing her back. "I don't deserve a guardian angel like you," said Zoey. "Sure you do, Zoey, you deserve the world," said Atemu smiling.
One by the Duel monsters began to attack agent Dark until they attacked together as one. Finally, Agent Dark was destroyed.
"Is he gone This time for sure," asked Zoey. "That depends on whether you let him torment you, again," said Atemu letting of Zoey.
Zoey nodded and closed her eyes: 'A terrible darkness has fallen upon usthe eternal darkness began to disappear we might not surrender to itand the ropes come undone by itself we shall lift our lamps courage Zoey then had a clear view of her friends find our way through the morning'
Zoey turned around and look at the duel monsters that helped her and thanked everyone single one of them for stopping Agent Dark.
Zoey then looked her guardian angel "I don't how I can ever thank you" said Zoey. "Just don't give up, don't let your personal demons rule your life and remember you're not alone," said Atemu with a smile, "Oh and one more thing, give Steven a chance even isn't your real father he still cares about you like his own," said Atemu. Zoey nodded her head while walking toward the light.
(Outside of Zoey' mind)
Yugi and the gang got their cards that were laying there around Zoey. Leaving the Tri horned next to her. Steven put the card in his back pocket and then Steven knew the codes had gone now forever, so Steven picked up an exhausted Zoey from the ground. Mai noticed that Zoey's arm was bleeding so Mai ripped on her jacket sleeve to wrap the wound.
Zoey opened her eyes and looked into Steven's eyes. Steven was about to let Zoey down in fear she would push him away fall out of his arms and hurt herself. But Zoey wanted to him to hold her, so she clanged to him, "Will you hold me through the darkness Daddy just like you did before?" she asked in a tired voice.
Steven let a few tears fall while nodding his head, "Yes, Zoey, I'll hold you," said Steven. Zoey put her head on Steven's chest while still clinching to him feeling safe and secure right in his arms. Zoey was lulled to sleep by heartbeats of her father's heart.
The building began to fall apart because Zoey melted some the support beams. That's when all the projects formed a small circle around Zoey's and her friends and some the agents. In addition, with a flash of light they transported outside the CWS building.
The CWS building collapsed killing everyone inside that had been loyal to Dr. Whitman. Zoey woke again watching the only home she knew crumble to the ground. Zoey smiled knowing that she was starting a new life and went back to sleep listening again to Steven's heart. Steven delicately kissed Zoey's forehead as she slept. "Sleep well my little princeness for new life awaits you" Steven said quietly. Steven took some daniloins to found around the surrounding forest, and buried them on top of what left of the CWS building. Steven took some rocks and spelled out the name Annie underneath the daniloins. "Goodbye Annie I promise your dream won't die."
Yugi and the others gathered around Steven and Zoey. Everyone whispered not wanting to wake Zoey "So are you leaving now? You know since you have Zoey back?" asked Yugi. "We have don't have a home, since it's destroyed now," said Steven. "You know Yugi, I think I saw the house next door to yours for sale" said Kaiba.
"Alright let's go see it," said Steven, "But first I had to adopt little Zoey, Mai and those projects they need a home too," said Steven. Mai nodded and smiled.
The agents the outside the building decided to get real names and a new jobs and start a new life, once they all were freed from danger of the building.
Kaiba and Pegasus teamed together to create the Project Support Center. Which not only give the projects real names, but homes too, also give the projects anything they wanted or needed. They together with the help of course Steven deleted every code in eveh project. In addition, it gave the world an opportunity to see these so called 'projects' for the first time, but of coarse guests are encourage not calling them freaks or any other hurtful names.
Seto Kaiba made it possible for Steven to adopt Zoey and Mai by guiding Steve through all the nasty paperwork that he himself once went through to be adopted. Steve and Zoey moved to the house next to Yugi.
However, for weeks for unknown reasons Zoey contently sat and faced a corner in her room. It was as if punishing herself for something.
Thankfully, Yugi helped Zoey out of quickly and it didn't last too much longer. Slowly Zoey accepted Steven as her father. Even when everyone went back home, Yugi was not lonely anymore because usually Zoey come to his house keep him company.
Joey and Mai moved back to Domino city because Mai wanted to stay close to her sister and father; Joey had no problem with that at all. Zoey also visited the Project Support Center every so often, to see if everyone there was happy and everyone there was happy every time she saw them all. Although for some reason people was name was project X was extremely happy whenever she came .Zoey later came to Domino city's museum to apologize to Alexandra for the actions of Dr. Whitman and the agents she easily forgave her.
