Sorry for not updating like a really long time folks! I got schoolwork and yeah, pretty much, I've been working on other stories. I should work on this one more often because I have a whole bunch of readers that want to know what's going to happen next and I'm letting them down…well, better late, really late, than never right? Until then!
Chapter 52:
Abyss Guardian Five: The Tables Have Turned
Yami: Round 2 is about to begin! This time, I'll be turning the tables! It's time to duel!
Yami drew his top card from his deck and gave a small grin.
Yami: I summon, Summoner of Revealing Light!
A huge white robed spellcaster appeared on the field, holding a long staff with a glowing sphere on the tip of the staff. Everyone in the room was kind of surprised because they never seen this card before in Yami's deck, and Yami gave a small grin to his opponents.
Summoner of Revealing Light

When this card is summoned to the field, you can add 1 card from your deck or your graveyard to your hand if it has "Revealing Light" in it. Choose one of the following effects:
-Flip all your opponent's facedown monsters face-up. Your opponent cannot attack for 3 turns.
-Sacrifice any amount of your life points. Monsters with the same attack point or lower cannot attack as long as this card remains on the field.
-Select a monster attribute. All monsters with the same attribute cannot attack as long as this card remains on the field.
Atk/1700 Def/1900
Yami: I select the first effect! Your monsters can't attack for three whole turns and last time I check, this is a tag team duel! So, right after Mikey's turn, that is counted as 1 whole duel from the effect of my magic card! Then, I'll grab one "Swords of Revealing Light" from my deck and add it to my hand.
Mikey: Good move, but you're just going to make things harder for you.
Yami: Not really. Go Bakura!
Bakura: Of course, pharaoh! Before I draw, I activate the effect of my field card! I'll pay another 1000 of my life points to take a card from my deck!
Bakura's LP: 6000
Bakura grabbed his deck and picked a card and then placed his deck back in the duel-disk. He gave a wide grin and gave a small laugh to his opponents.
Bakura: 1 Turn has passed of my Darkness Key magic card and only 2 more to go! I now play The Dark Ruler Rises!
The Dark Ruler Rises
(Magic Card)
This magic card can only be activated if you have at least 1 fiend type monster on your side of the field and you have Dark Ruler Ha Des in your hand. Pay 800 of your life points and summon 1 "Dark Ruler Ha Des" from your hand to the field. Dark Ruler Ha Des cannot attack the turn it has been played.
A huge black portal appeared on Bakura's field and a huge fiend stepped out of the portal. A huge robed fiend appeared on the field with a skull lower down on its robe and held a small glass of wine (or blood), and gave a low groan. Bakura gave a loud laugh and pointed his finger at the two opponents in front of them.
Bakura: Victory is at reach you two! When my powerful creature arrives, it will be the end of all of you!
Vince: We won't let that happen Bakura! My move!
Vince drew his card from the top of his deck and looked at it. He gave a small grin and soon played his card.
Vince: I play the magic card, Friendship!
Friendship

Vince's LP: 5900
Vince: I'll summon Sora's two friends! Donald the Spellcaster and Goofy the Defender!
A white duck appeared on the field wearing a blue spellcaster robe. He wielded a small short staff and standing next to him was a tall figure that looked pretty much like a dog. He wore brown jeans, a green shirt, some kind of hat helmet on his head, wore white gloves, and held a round silver shield in front of him with a mouse symbol on the center of the shield.

Atk/1500 Def/2600
Vince: I got nothing else. Your move now Mikey and since I ended my turn, Goofy is switched to defense mode!
Mikey: I'll draw now so stand back! Heh, Here, I go! I play Earth! The Third Planet Knight in attack mode!
A colorful armored knight appeared on the field, wielding a long metal sword, a blue shield with a gray sphere on the center of the shield, a sky blue chest armor, a white robe underneath it, brown glove armors, green metal leg armors, and a gray helmet.

Atk/1500 Def/1200
Mikey: Take note pharaoh, you will not win so I suggest you give up or you'll end up losing your soul…
Yami: That's not going to happen Mikey…now I draw!
Yami quickly picked up his next top card and looked at it. He gave a small smile and instantly played his card.
Yami: I play the magic card, Pot of Greed, allowing me draw two new cards from my deck!
Yami quickly drew his two cards from his deck and gave a small grin.
Graceful Charity-Magic Card
Majestic Knights -Magic Card
Yami: Next, I play Graceful Charity! This magic card allows me to draw three new cards from my deck, but after that, I have to discard two cards from my hand to the graveyard!
Yami drew his three cards and took a quick look.
Ultimate Charity-Magic Card
Obelisk the Tormentor-Level: 10 (Divine/Divine-Beast/Hidden Effect) Atk/4000 Def/4000
King's Knight-Level: 4 (Light/Warrior/Effect) Atk/1600 Def/1400
Yami: I discard two of my cards, Obelisk the Tormentor and King's Knight!
Bakura: Your giving up an Egyptian God Card? You fool! That could've saved us!
Vince: Heh, looks like the pharaoh had no choice!
Mikey: …I don't like it whatever his planning…
Yami: Too bad I have a plan in order to bring it back and summon it to the field!
Mikey and Vince: What?
Yami: I play the magic card, Ultimate Charity!
Ultimate Charity
(Magic Card)
This magic card can only be activated if you discarded cards from your hand to the graveyard. Bring back the cards you discarded to the graveyard, back to your hand and draw one more card from your deck.
Yami: I'll bring back my Obelisk the Tormentor and also my King's Knight to my hand! Then, I'll draw one card so behold!
Yami drew his card and gave a small laugh and showed what he drew to his opponents.
Yami: I believed in my deck and my deck believed in me. My friends believed in me as well, giving me the strength to fight back! Including you…Yugi. I activate, Jug of Greed!
Mikey and Vince: No!
Bakura: The pharaoh has turned the tables! Hahahahaha!
"Go pharaoh," cheered Tea, "You can beat them!"
"The pharaoh has my lucky skills in him," grinned Joey, "There's no way those two will win!"
Yami quickly drew four cards because of the effect of Jug of Greed that if he has Pot of Greed in the graveyard, he can draw up to four cards. Yami then looked at the cards he drew he received from his deck.
Queen's Knight-Level: 4 (Light/Warrior) Atk/1500 Def/1600
Jack's Knight-Level: 5 (Light/Warrior) Atk/1900 Def/1000

Yami: Now I activate the magic card, Majestic Knights!
Majestic Knights
(Magic Card)
Special Summon "Queen's Knight," "King's Knight," and "Jack's Knight" onto your side of the field in attack mode if they are in your hand.
Yami: I summon, Queen's Knight in attack mode, King's Knight in attack mode, and Jack's Knight in attack mode! After that, I summon Obelisk the Tormentor to the field! Come forth Egyptian God!
A huge blue beast appeared on the field and gave a huge roar to the two opposing duelists. Mikey and Vince were getting nervous now because the pharaoh had summoned one of his powerful cards onto the field and to make things worse, it was the most powerful monster on the field right now.
Obelisk the Tormentor-Atk/4000 Def/4000Yami: Go Obelisk! Attack Sora with Fist of Fury!
Obelisk raised his right hand and made a fist out of it and was about to slam its fist to Vince's monster, but Vince quickly activated his facedown trap card, which was Trinity Teamwork. Donald and Goofy quickly went by Sora's side and a huge shield protected Sora and it gave a powerful bright light, which nearly blinded everyone. When the light died out, everyone saw that Obelisk was back at the pharaoh's side of the field and saw that Sora was still on the field.
Yami: What happened?
Vince: I'll explain my trap card!
Trinity Teamwork
(Continuous Trap Card)
This trap card can only be activated if you have Donald, Goofy, and Sora on the field. All three monsters cannot be destroyed as a result of battle as long as this card remains on the field (battle damage is still applied). This card is destroyed if one of the three monsters is removed from the field.
Vince: Plus, let's say I had some friends protect Sora…
Yami: What?
Yami looked at one of Vince's monsters and saw Goofy in front of Sora, holding his shield in front of him. Goofy placed his shield aside and stood next to Sora. The two monsters gave a small smile to each other and then gave each other a high-five.
Vince: But with that little stunt I just made, Goofy is set to attack mode…
Yami: Fine by me! Go, Summoner of Revealing Light! Attack Goofy with Light Flare!
The white robed magician raised his staff high and then aimed the glowing sphere at Goofy. A long white beam shot out of the sphere and hit Goofy right in the chest. Vince grabbed his chest and kneeled to the floor, feeling a small sting striking his chest. Once the white magician was done attacking, Vince slowly got up and glared at the pharaoh.
Vince: You will pay for that pharaoh…
Vince's LP: 5700
Yami: That ends my turn. Go Bakura.
Bakura: The end is almost here! My move! I'll pay another 1000 of my life points in order to activate my field card's special ability!
Bakura's LP: 5000
Bakura: Plus, two turns have passed! Only one more turn and the creature will come!
Bakura grabbed his deck out of his duel-disk and looked for a card to pick. He then found his card and added to his deck. After that, he shuffled his deck and inserted it back into his duel-disk and gave a small grin.
Bakura: The end is near! I play the magic card, Demon Spell Book-Helliablos and attach it to Dark Ruler Ha Des!
A black book with a skull in the front cover of the book, was wrapped in chains, and appeared on the Dark Ruler's hand. The fiend ruler creature placed it's other free hand and ripped off the chains that was wrapped around the spell book.
Demon Spell Book-Helliablos
(Equip Magic Card)
This magic card can only be equipped to Dark Ruler Ha Des on your side of the field. Once all the cards are on the field that is listed in "The Gateway to Hell," remove all cards on your side of the field from play and Special Summon "Devil God-Deathscythe."
Bakura: That ends my turn fools, if you don't do something, your doom will come!
Vince: I have to stop it!
Mikey: Don't worry Vince…even if you don't draw the right card, will still win because we fight of a purpose!
Vince: Right Mikey! I fight for my family!
Mikey: And I fight for Luna!
Vince: I draw!
Vince quickly drew his card and gave a small angry sigh. He had no cards to destroy Bakura's Gateway to Hell card and they had only one turn left.
Vince: I set all my monsters into defense mode and end my turn…
Mikey: Its ok Vince, will still win this duel! My move!
Mikey drew his card and gave a quick look. Mikey gave a small sigh of disappointment, but it was the only card he thought that might turn the tables, giving him and Vince the advantage again.
Mikey: I set all my monsters into defense mode and set one card facedown…
Yami: Heh, looks like we have the advantage Mikey.
Mikey: True, but soon, I will make sure we'll take that lead again!
Yami: Sorry, I'm not going to let that happen!
Yami drew his card and quickly went to his Main Phase, ready to play his card.
Yami: I summon, Gazelle The King of Mythical Beasts in attack mode!
A huge brown fur lion beast appeared on the field. It gave a huge roar, showing it's sharp teeth in its mouth, ready to attack one of the two opponents.
Gazelle The King of Mythical Beasts-Atk/1500 Def/1200Yami: After that, I'll activate Obelisk's special ability! By sacrificing two of my monsters, Summoner of Revealing Light and Gazelle, I can destroy all your monsters on the field and attack your life points directly!
Obelisk grabbed the two monsters with its gigantic fists and the two monsters started to glow brightly. The two monsters soon vanished into thin air, but Obelisk's fist still gave that glow and glared at the two opponents.
Yami: Go Obelisk! Destroy Vince's entire field and attack his life points directly!
Obelisk slammed both of his fists to the ground, creating a huge shockwave around the field. The ground they stood on began to shook violently and Vince's monsters were destroyed one by one. Once his monsters were gone, the blast hit Vince, making nearly his entire life points go down to it's last 1700 life points.
Vince's LP: 1700
Mikey: Vince!
Vince: Argh! I'm ok! I'm still standing…
Bakura: Not for long! My move! And since I have the cards necessary on the field, I don't need to pay 1000 life points.
Bakura began to draw from his deck and once it was his Main Phase, the key gave one final turn on the door, making a loud, click sound in the lock. After that, the key fell off and disappeared into dust, making the giant lock fall down to the ground, bringing down the chains that held the door shut. The two opponents took one step back, afraid to see what was coming out and then saw the door slightly opening.
Bakura: Hahahaha! With the cards on the field, your doom is finally here! Dark Ruler Ha Des, read the spell book you hold in your hand and release the great beast of Hell, Devil God-Deathscythe! Hahahahaha!
The robed fiend placed his hand on the book's cover and opened it very slowly. It turned a few pages and then stopped when it reached the page it wanted. It began to mumble something under its breath and soon, the metal door that stood behind it burst opened. Huge winds came out of the door and released cold air in the room. Everyone in the room began to shiver except for Bakura who gave a manically grin, enjoying the fear he saw in everyone's face.
Bakura: By giving up my two Demonic Guards, Dark Ruler Ha Des, and the Demon Spell Book-Helliablos, I will summon the ruler of Hell himself! Come forth my power beasts of eternal Darkness! Bring terror and fear to this battle! I call the majestic devil himself, Devil God-Deathscythe! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Bakura's entire field disappeared that what only stood in the field was the metal door behind him. A huge black beast appeared on the field with glowing red eyes, gave a loud groan. Everyone had to cover their ears from the loud cry of the monster, except for Bakura, and once it was done, it spread it's two huge black wings behind it, and wield a huge black scythe.
Devil God-DEATHSCYTHE

Atk/ (Infinity) Def/(Infinity)
Vince: You got to be kidding me…
Mikey: There is no way…no possible way!
Yami: Bakura…your monster has…
Bakura: My monster has infinity attack points! Hahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Attack my god! Attack Vince's life points with Ultimate End!
The huge dark beast raised its giant scythe above Vince and gave a huge slice across Vince, and after that, the sides, and began to move faster and faster with every attack. It sliced Vince 5 times, then 35 times, after that, 60 times, and soon sliced Vince with 100 slices in under 1 minute. Once it was done attacking, Vince stood on his feet, and then fell to the ground on his back, knocked out.
Mikey: Vince!!!
Vince:…I'm…sorry…Mikey…
Vince's LP: 0
Vince's Dark Millennium Necklace began to give a dark glow, but before it could release a demon from the portal, Mikey began to concentrate on his Dark Millennium Ring. Mikey's Dark item began to suck up the energy from Vince's Dark Millennium Item, and soon, the item that was on Vince's neck disappeared and once Mikey was done focusing his strength on saving Vince, Mikey kneeled on the ground, groaning in pain.
Mikey: It feels…so cold…my body…feels…numb…
Everyone in the room couldn't believe what Mikey just did. He saved Vince from the Neo Shadow Realm by nearly risking his life. Yami couldn't stand it anymore and tried to make Mikey shake out of this duel.
Yami: Mikey! Listen to me! You need to stop this duel! You care about your friends so much and your love one, that you would do anything to protect them! Stop this before you end up losing your soul!
"Listen to the pharaoh Mikey," yelled Joey, "You're a good person! You really are! Stop this duel and help us stop Aeru!"
"Come on man! You don't need to do this all by yourself," yelled Tristan.
"We can save them from Aeru Mikey! Please, stop making yourself suffer with so much pain," pleaded Tea.
Mikey: All of you…you are all good people…but Aeru has that power to bring them back to life. You got to understand that I can't live without Luna! I have to keep going!
"What's dead you should stay dead," yelled Seto, "You need to learn to move on!"
Mikey: Easy for you Kaiba! You never experienced this kind of emotion because you never had the time!
"Yeah? So? Even if I did experience love and she ended up dead, I would move on! Sure I would feel grief and sadness and try to find any other way to bring her back, but what happened, happened," yelled Seto, "Besides, I bet she would want me to move on! She wouldn't forgive me if I stilled love her and she was dead!"
"He doesn't mean like that," said Michelle giving a small glare to Seto, "It's kind of sweet that you still love here, but in a way, Seto is right…I'm sorry Mikey, but you got to move on. You can't hold onto the past forever, sooner or later, you got to move on…"
Mikey:…
Yami: Stop this duel Mikey…before it gets out of hand…
Mikey: It's already out of my reach…
Yami: What?
Mikey: Pharaoh, I can't just stop this duel like that, this is the Neo Shadow Realm. Once it has been summoned, the loser or losers, have to lose their soul…it's not like the original Shadow Realm where you can call it and then make it go away…
Yami: So what are we supposed to do?
Bakura: Only one way, we win!
Yami: Bakura!
Mikey: His right…you guys have to win, but I'm not going to lose just like that…you have to make me lose my life points!
Yami: Mikey…
Mikey: You're a good person pharaoh…you are, but I still fight for someone I care! And last time I checked, this is my turn now!
Mikey quickly drew his card and gave a wide surprised expression. He gave a small grin and then faced his two opponents.
Mikey: I'm not going down without a fight, so I play the magic ritual card, Moon Guardian Ritual!
Mikey flipped his facedown his card he played last turn, showing a magic card.
Moon Guardian Ritual
(Ritual Spell Card)
This card is used to Ritual Summon "Lunar Guardian-Goddess of the Moon". You must also offer monsters whose total Star levels equal 12 or more from your hand or your side of the field as a sacrifice.
Mikey: I'll give up Sun, The Center Star of the Solar and Mars, The Fourth Planet Knight in order to summon, Lunar Guardian! The Goddess of the Moon!
A huge bright light appeared out of nowhere, nearly blinding everyone in the room, including Mikey. Everyone had a hard time seeing and once the light died out, the two duelists, Yami and Bakura, tried to look for the monster that Mikey just summoned, but saw nothing. Then, when Yami looked up, he saw a tall white robed goddess, descending down onto the ground softly, but when she nearly reached the ground, she just floated there, like 5 feet above the ground. She was around the same height as Obelisk, had long sky blue hair reaching down to her lower back, had four wings spread apart from each other on her back, wore some kind of blue armor over her white robed on her upper body, she long shiny sapphire eyes that glittered like a million stars, and had her arms opened wide, as if she was trying to give a hug.
Mikey: This card reminds me of her, and I plan to win with her! Pharaoh! Thief! Meet the Goddess of the Moon! Lunar Guardian!
Lunar Guardian-Goddess of the Moon
Level: 12
(Light/Planet/Effect)
This monster can only be summoned by the "Moon Guardian Ritual" magic card. You must also offer monsters whose total Star levels equal 12 or more from your hand or your side of the field as a sacrifice. When this card is summoned, all monsters above level 5 cannot attack, with the exception of this card. Monsters on both players field can still change battle positions. Also, magic cards must first be set on the field. On their next turn, then the players can activate their card. If you have 3 "Earth's Moon" on your side of the field, this card is unaffected by monster effects, magic cards, and trap cards controlled by your opponent and this card can attack your opponent's life points directly.
Atk/5000 Def/5000
Yami: 5000 attack points?
Mikey: Pretty good huh? Go Moon Goddess! Attack the pharaoh's Obelisk with Lunar Gravity!
Lunar Guardian extended both of arms at Obelisk and soon, both of her eyes gave a bright blue color, covering her eyes so all you saw was a blue glow from her eyes. Obelisk slowly rose from the ground and Obelisk began to struggle to get free. Everyone in the room gasped as they saw Obelisk go up to the ceiling and then Lunar Guardian pulled Obelisk down by sending her arms back down. Obelisk fell to the ground quickly and there was a huge smoke from where Obelisk fell.
Yami: Obelisk! Obelisk!
When the smoke cleared, everyone saw Obelisk laying on the ground, not moving and soon, disappeared into many tiny pieces. Everyone couldn't believe that Obelisk was destroyed by that kind of attacked and focused their attention on Mikey.
Mikey: Like what you saw pharaoh?
Yami: ….Ah…ah…
Bakura: Impressive brat, but let me show you true power! First, I must remove half of my deck from play in order to keep Devil God-Deathscythe and then, I'll draw!
Bakura removed half of his deck from played and then drew his card from his little deck. After that, once he was in his Standby Phase, he paid half of his life points and now he had only 2500 life points left.
Bakura's LP: 2500
Bakura: Too bad your monster's effect doesn't effect with my monster! Devil God-Deathscythe! Attack his weak pathetic goddess with Ultimate End!
The huge dark beast dashed towards Mikey's monster, but before it could even strike the goddess down, Mikey quickly activated his facedown card he played since the beginning of the duel!
Mikey: Activate trap card, Solar Eclipse!
There was a bright star above the players and soon, the sun was covered by a huge black star and everything quickly went black. Everyone in the room had a hard time to see and when the black star disappeared and the bright star shined over the field, giving light back to the field, everyone saw that Bakura's monster was right there next to Mikey's monster, which remained unharmed.
Bakura: I missed!
Mikey: That's the whole point of the Solar Eclipse!
Solar Eclipse
(Trap Card)
If one of your opponent's monsters attacks one of your monsters, you can activate this trap card. Your opponent ends his or her battle phase and is moved to his or her Main Phase 2.
Bakura: Your good! But next turn, your down!
Mikey: That's not going to happen! I draw! …Looks like I drew the card I need! I play, No Gravity!
Yami: What does that card do?
Mikey: You'll see. Go and make your move pharaoh!
Yami: I'll draw! …I play Giant Soldier of Stone in defense mode and end my turn…
A huge human giant made out of stone appeared on the field, kneeling on the ground, its arms crossed over each other in front of its face to protect itself. Mikey gave a small grin and shook his head to the sides.
Mikey: Good move pharaoh…
Bakura: My move!
Bakura took out his deck and removed half of his deck from play and placed it back in his duel-disk. He drew his card and gave a small quick look. This was his only chance because he had only 3 cards left from play. Once it was his turn again, he can kiss his devil god goodbye. After that, he moved to his Standby Phase and paid half of his life points again.
Bakura's LP: 1250
Bakura: Attack Devil God-Deathscythe! Finish this duel!
The huge god beast again dashed towards the goddess, but all of a sudden, the goddess moved to the side quickly and the god beast missed its target.
Bakura: What the?
Mikey: Care to try again? Only two more tries, heh heh heh…
The devil god tried again, but the moon goddess levitated up to the sky and when the creature tried one more time, the moon goddess flew right above it with a small grin across her face. The devil god gave a low growl and went back to Bakura's side of the field.
Bakura: What happened?
Mikey: No Gravity, what do you think?
No Gravity
(Continuous Magic Card)
Whenever creatures on your opponent's side of field attack one of your monsters and they are planet creatures, the opponent's battle damage is treated as 0 and the selected target monster is not destroyed in battle.
Mikey: With this magic card and my moon guardian, it's the end for both of you!
"That's a good combo," said Joey with a surprised look on his face.
"You telling me. If the pharaoh or Bakura don't find a way to break that combo and fast, they can kiss their life points and this duel good bye," said Duke.
"Dude! How come you bring us all down all the time," yelled Tristan.
"Come on team! Finish them," yelled Marik.
"We believe in you two," yelled Odion.
"With the exception of Bakura," mumbled Joey.
"We know you will win pharaoh," cheered Ishizu.
"Do it for all of us," cheered Tea.
Mikey: That's kind of nice you have your friends cheering you on. Too bad this is going to end! I draw! Now, Lunar Guardian, destroy the pharaoh's monster!
The moon goddess extended her right arm and blew the giant stone figure away from the field, destroy it instantly. Yami gave a small growl and then drew his card once Mikey was done with his turn.
Yami: I play, Watapon in defense mode and end my turn.
A small white puffy ball appeared on the field with huge blue eyes, giving a small happy cry while bouncing on the ground.
Bakura: I can't remove half of my deck…I only have three cards which means Devil God-Deathscythe is destroyed…
The huge metal door that stood behind Bakura soon closed shut and the Devil God disappeared into powder. After that, the metal door sunk into the ground and Bakura drew his card once the door was gone.
Bakura: I place Headless Knight in defense mode and end my turn…
Just like the card says, a knight with silver armor appeared on the field with no head and kneeled on the ground to protect itself.
Mikey: Kind of sad. I draw. Now, Lunar Guardian, destroy the pharaoh's monster!
Lunar Guardian just stared at the white puffy ball and blew the card away by sweeping her right hand to the side. The small white ball gave a cry and was instantly destroyed. There was no hope for them. This card was really powerful and they were below 3000 life points, well for Bakura, he was below 2000 life points.
Mikey: It's going to end sooner or later so just surrender the duel pharaoh.
Yami: I may be down to only 2900 life points…but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up! I'll keep on dueling until I can't duel anymore so watch out! I draw!
Yami drew his card, hoping he would draw the right card. The Heart of the Cards never brought him down before and sure enough, they weren't going to start now. Once Yami drew his card, he gave a huge surprised look and gave a small laugh.
Mikey: What is it?
Yami: Mikey…you care about that card so much…but in the end…it turned against you…
Mikey: What are you talking about!
Yami: I play the magic card, Snatch and Steal! This magic equips to one of my opponents monster and you only have one right now! So come forth, Lunar Guardian!
The Moon Guardian flew towards Yami and then faced towards Mikey. Mikey gave a scared look. His card that he cared so much was turned against him. Yami ordered his attack and the moon goddess extended her right arm, releasing a powerful force towards Mikey. Mikey cried in pain and kneeled on the floor. He felt his entire body getting ripped apart, not from the attack, but by the card itself…the card he took care of, the card that reminded him of her…it ended up being his end to this duel.
Mikey's LP: 3000
Bakura: Impressive pharaoh. Now we can finish this duel! My move! Looks like I drew the card I need and I plan to defeat you with it!
Yami: No Bakura…
Bakura: What?
Yami: I want Mikey to get a chance so end your turn…
Bakura: I see, you want to defeat with his very own precious card. I never knew you could go that low pharaoh! Hahahahaha!
Yami: I'm not going to make Mikey lose by his own card! I would never do that! I just want Mikey to get one last chance…
Mikey slowly drew his card and just stood there. He saw his life points go up by 1000 life points from the effect of Snatch and Steal, but it really didn't matter. He lowered his head to the ground, feeling the pain run in his body. How did he let this happened? Did he went overboard? Did he get too cocky? He got so blinded and yet he didn't see it coming…
Mikey: Finish me off pharaoh with my own card…
Yami: Mikey…
Mikey: I have to move on…Seto is right…what happened, happened…I can't hold onto the past…sooner or later, I have to focus on the future…so finish me off pharaoh…
Yami: Very well…Lunar Guardian! Finish Mikey off!
Lunar Guardian raised her right arm and aimed it at Mikey. Before it attacked, Mikey heard a small faint voice. Mikey tried to hear the voice again, and it was soon easy to hear. The voice was a female's voice, a young female's voice. It brought a warm feeling around Mikey and he could've sworn he heard that voice before.
Mikey…
The voice said his name…Mikey heard the voice again, calling his name.
Mikey…
Mikey soon realized where the voice belonged too. He gave a small smile and closed his eyes slowly, trying to picture her.
You did great Mikey…You really did great…I'm…proud of you.
I really am…
"Thanks Luna…thanks for everything," smiled Mikey.
As the moon goddess got rid of Mikey's life points, Mikey kneeled on the floor, breathing hard. His life points reached zero and he saw both of the two duelists deactivate their duel-disk. Yami was the first to walk up to Mikey offering his hand to him, but Mikey refused it.
"It's ok pharaoh…I lost," whispered Mikey.
"Mikey," whispered Yami.
"Hey…pharaoh…you think…you can hold onto her…just…for a little…while," asked Mikey.
"Hold who," asked the pharaoh.
"Luna…hold onto her…just for...a…little…while," smiled Mikey as he fell into unconsciousness.
Everyone, except for Bakura, Weevil, and Rex, tried to wake up Mikey, but he was knocked out. Joey and Duke carried Vince to left side of the wall, while Yami and Tea carried Mikey to right side of the wall. Before they could continue on, Yami saw the moon goddess, still on Mikey's duel-disk. Yami thought for a while, until he remembered what Mikey asked him to do.
Hold onto her…just…for a little…while…
…Luna…
'I'll take good care of her until you wake up Mikey,' thought the pharaoh as he grabbed the moon goddess and the ritual card. He placed the two cards in his deck and both walked up to the floating blue crystal that stood in front of them.
"Only one more Abyss Guardian," said Joey in a soft voice.
"And then will reach Aeru," said Ishizu.
"His going to pay for all the people he hurt," yelled Tristan.
"There's no way his going to win with all of us sticking together," grinned Mako.
"Yup, with all of us, will be invincible," laughed Espa.
"Just got to make sure none of you boys lose," laughed Mai.
"Thanks for the support," smiled Joey.
Tea looked to her sides and saw Yami looking at the ground and moved right next to him. Yami looked up and gave a weak smile to his friend, making Tea give a worried expression.
"What's wrong pharaoh," asked Tea.
"Aeru took away our friends…he made them turn against us," said Yami, "Aeru is going to pay for all this, but I just wonder…why is he doing this?"
"Why pharaoh," asked Tea.
"That vision we saw together…he wasn't bad…he was good hearted brother like I never had…I feel I'm the one that's evil," whispered Yami.
"What makes you say that," asked Tea.
"I can't remember what happened back then…and I can't remember Aeru as my brother…or what I did to make him turn evil…"
"You think you're the cause of all this?"
"It has to be…it has to be…"
"Pharaoh…maybe you did this…maybe you made Aeru turn against you, but if you did that…surely you can reverse it. You're a good person pharaoh and I'm sure you can undo all the mistakes that you caused," smiled Tea trying to cheer up the pharaoh.
The pharaoh gave a small nod to the girl and every stood where they were, staring deep into the floating blue crystal before they moved on.
There are 6 Abyss Guardians you must face. The sixth Abyss Guardian is my favorite one.
'I don't know who this sixth Abyss Guardian you speak of Aeru…but you will pay for what you have done…And I don't what made you turn evil, but whatever caused it…we can work it out like how a family does,' thought Yami.
Soon, everyone stepped closer to the floating blue crystal and everyone disappeared, leaving the two unconscious males in the room. But in the entrance of the duel room, a male was crawling on the floor, trying to reach them before they get to Aeru.
"Curse him…curse him…argh…I got…to…get…them…before…they…get to…Aeru," growled the male as he continued to crawl towards the blue crystal.
