~~~Chapter Twenty-Seven~~~
~~~Previous~~~
"Bakura, we'll show you our united power!" Yami states.
Jounouchi slashes forward, causing Zooku to groan and lean forward slightly.
"Bakura, we joined this game because we believed in you as a friend. But because of that, you betrayed us and turned us into these things! That's completely unforgivable!"
Yami lifts the dice. "Everyone's outraged hearts…I grip them in these hands with the dice! Dice roll!" He releases the dice, and they land on 06.
Dark Bakura's eyes widen. "Critical! That can't be!"
Honda releases his attack via his gun. "Thunder Grenade!"
The attack goes through Zooku's shoulder, causing Dark Bakura to let out a surprised gasp.
"Next, Immortal Witch Isis's attack," Yami calls out. He releases the dice, and it lands on 04.
"Impossible! Another critical!" Dark Bakura says in disbelief.
Isis holds her hand out in front of her. "Expulso!"
It hits Zooku point blank and destroys one of his arms.
"Furthermore, sorceress Anzu's follow-up attack!" Yami releases the dice, and it lands on 13.
Anzu holds out her staff. "Apprentice Displace!" The attack hits Zooku's stomach dead on, causing him to shout in pain.
Dark Bakura clenches his teeth. Damn, Yuugi! Why does he keep getting critical? He's not cheating!
"Bakura!" Jonouchi calls out, getting his attention. "It's not that hard to figure out! Our hearts are in Yami's dice! The dice are answering our rage!"
"The finisher! Beast attack!" Yami releases the dice, and they land on 08. "Critical!"
Yugi, Poki and the red dragon attack Zooku with fireballs, causing smoke to surround Zooku's figure.
"We did it! We did it!" Honda and Jounouchi cheer, jumping up and down. "That's what you get!"
Dark Bakura smirks, causing Yami to narrow his eyes at him. The smoke begins to clear, and Yami's eyes widen in surprise. What?
The smoke completely disappears, showing Zooku nearly unharmed, apart from the arm that Isis destroyed earlier, which is only halfway healed. Yugi gasps.
"It can't be!" Anzu denies.
Zooku walks towards us.
"Despite all those attacks…He's mostly undamaged!" Jounouchi exclaims in disbelief.
Miho takes a step back, scared.
Zooku continues to walk towards Isis, Yuugi and the others. Dark Bakura laughs loudly. "Too bad, but you guys are merely level 1 beginners. You lack the experience to defeat Zooku.
Yami narrows his eyes as Dark Bakura laughs loudly once more.
~~~To be Continued~~~
~~~Present~~~
~~~Yugi's POV~~~
At Bakura-kun's home, we're playing a game on Monster World. But during the game, our souls are transferred into the figures! But in the end, Yami appeared to challenge Bakura-kun. We must beat the game's dark ruler, Zooku, to restore us to normal.
~~~3rd POV~~~
Zooku takes a couple of steps forward, causing Yugi, Honda, Jonouchi, Anzu and Miho to look on in disbelief while Isis narrows her eyes in thought, looking at his still destroyed arm.
"Despite all those attacks, he's taken little damage!" Jounouchi says in disbelief.
"That can't be ", Yugi denies. "That means we have no chance of winning!"
Zooku continued stomping forward, the ground shaking beneath his step. Honda took a step back. "Damn it! What should we do?!"
"What a dirty trick! Poki!" Poki cries.
Zooku takes another step forward. Yami clenches his teeth with narrowed eyes.
"Are you calling me a coward?" Dark Bakura questions. "But this whole game world was created by me, the master. I am the law! The ruler! God!"
Yami looks at him, teeth still clenched. So, was this game set up to ensure we couldn't win?
"The game continues." Dark Bakura said, interrupting Yami's thoughts. "The least you guys can do is perform well when you die!"
Yami lets out a tch as Dark Bakura smirks at him. That Yugi…He thinks he's stopped my consecutive critical dice technique…But I have other methods! He slides out a hidden compartment under the desk, which holds figures. These figures hold the souls of my host's friends, Bakura Ryou. Each figure acts according to the game scenario I've created. His gaze flickers to the dices on the left. However….that's not limited to the figures. He picks up the dice in his hand and lifts it. Like these Mind Dice, for example… He opens his hand to show the dice. These Mind Dice have souls in them and move according to my desire. "Now, Zooku attacks in the next turn. Now, to determine whether the attack hits your players!" He tilts his hand, and the dice rolls off. Dance, Mind Dice! They land on 00.
Yami's eyes widen slightly. Super critical!
"Zooku's dark magic! Dark Catastrophe!" Dark Bakura calls out.
Yugi gasped as a large ball of energy appeared in front of them, blasting and sending them flying, though Isis managed to grab Yugi before they hit the ground.
"Everyone!" Yami calls out as their figures fall onto the board.
Dark Bakura lets out a laugh. "Zooku's attack had the power to bring a character with over 50 hit points down to zero. All the players are dead, aren't they?"
Yami clenches his teeth as he glares at Dark Bakura. Dark Bakura looks at his laptop. "There's probably no point, but let me calculate how many hit points the players lost." He begins typing away. "This game is decided by this computer's data, after all. Entering Zooku's attack power…" His eyes widen when the images of Isis, Yugi and the others appear on the screen. "What?! There's still one hit point left?! It can't be!"
Isis gets herself up and looks back at Yugi. "Yugi, are you alright?"
Yugi struggles to get back to his feet. "I'm fine, Isis-nee."
"Damn it…" Jounouchi cursed as he pushed himself up.
Anzu slowly pushes herself up, and Honda does the same from next to her. "I thought I was going to die!"
Isis walks over to Miho and helps her to her feet. "Miho, are you alright?"
"Miho is alright," Miho replies, weakly.
Yami lifts a clenched fist as a grin appears on his face. "Everyone!" I knew it! My Queen, Yugi and the rest of them aren't dead. Even if separated, our hearts are one. If Yugi were dead, then I would be dead too. The game isn't over yet.
Yugi looks up at Yami and nods his head.
Dark Bakura was typing away at his laptop, a look of disbelief on his face. How can it be?! How?! His eyes suddenly widen, and he looks down at his left hand. My left hand is hitting the keys independently. What is going on?! His laptop screen changes to white. "What?"
Words slowly appear on the screen. "I am Bakura Ryou. I won't let you kill my friends. I will fight too!"
Dark Bakura's left hand lifts, and he looks at it. 'Bakura Ryou'?! My host should be trapped inside me! Bakura Ryou's will has come out?! It can't be…Zooku in the game world and I are the same. But Zooku's left arm has a deep wound. Perhaps that has allowed Bakura Ryou to control my left arm from within me?! But what can a mere left arm do?! He uses his right hand and drags the laptop towards him. All I need to do is move the computer further away! He looks up at Yami.
Yami gazes back. Bakura, that guy…While managing the data, he turned pale when he looked at the computer monitor. Just what happened? He's made some sort of miscalculation. Perhaps…That might be the hidden key for defeating Zooku!
Dark Bakura lets out a scoff. "The game continues."
Zooku steps forwards. Honda takes a step back with Anzu. "Damn it! Just how can we defeat Zooku?!"
"Zooku's defenses are too high!" Anzu points out. "The difference between our levels is too great!"
Zooku takes another step forward.
"In comparison, our hit points are down to one. We're finished the next time we're attacked." Yugi adds.
Yami looks at the board. That's right. At any rate, raising everyone's hit points comes first. To do that, I need to use my Queen's healing magic.
"So, on the next turn, Immortal Witch can act. However, Zooku can act simultaneously. In this situation, we decide who goes first by using the dice. We both roll the dice, and the one closer to 00 goes first." Dark Bakura laughs and lifts his hand with the dice inside. "Here we go! The dice roll of fate!"
Yami looks on in worry. If Zooku attacks first, there's no way to save them!
My victory is assured. These are Mind Dice that hold the souls of defeated players. So I will get a super critical 100 percent of the time. Dark Bakura throws the dice.
Yami does the same. Please! Put everything into these dice!
Dark Bakura laughs as his dice lands on the board. The first one is at 0, while the other is still spinning. "My dice got a super critical!"
Yami lands on the board on a 09.
The duel is over, Yugi. Prepare yourself! Zooku attacks first!" Dark Bakura boasts. Yami smirks, and Dark Bakura loses his smile. "What's so funny?"
"Do you have holes for eyes? Take another look at the dice!" Yami orders.
"What?" He looks at his dice to see that the second one has landed on 1, giving him a 10. "Ten?! It can't be! That can't be!"
Yami points at him. "The dice don't lie, Bakura. The Immortal Witch goes first. Restaurare!
Isis chuckled softly before releasing her magic over herself and the others.
A small smile appears on Miho's face. "That feels good."
"Isis-nee!" Yugi calls out happily.
"I feel refreshed," Honda adds.
"Alright!" Jonouchi cheers. "My energy is restored! I'm filled with vitality!"
Anzu nods her head. "So do I."
Dark Bakura looks at the Yami's dice before picking up his dice. These dice aren't the Mind Dice! Just where did the Mind Dice disappear to?! Was Yugi behind it? He clenches his fist around the dice. No. He doesn't seem aware of the Mind Dice. He lifts his fist and gazes at it. What is going on?!
"What's wrong, Bakura? You're looking pale." Yami asks as he gazes at him.
A smirk appears back on Dark Bakura's face. "What are you saying? Even with restored hit points, you guys are still microbes compared to Zooku. On the next attack, he'll completely obliterate you guys!"
Zooku took a step forward, letting out a low growl.
"Everyone, be careful!" Yugi warns.
Isis nods her head. "Zooku's going to counter-attack!"
Zooku lets out a roar.
"Deciding Zooku's counter-attack! 110 percent chance that everyone gets hit!" Suddenly, Dark Bakura's left hand releases a pair of dice, causing his eyes to widen. What?! The left hand threw the dice all on its own! Th-this is! The dice land on the board. When did the left hand hide the Mind Dice?! The dice lands on 99. Fumble! It can't be! He cursed the Mind Dice?! He grabs his left hand with the right. This damn left hand.
Zooku does the same attack as before but is less powerful, and he attacks himself instead.
"Alright! Zooku failed in his attack and blew himself up!" Honda states happily.
Dark Bakura lets out a shout. "This damn left hand!" He slams it on the point of the castle roof, stabbing it in the middle. He laughs. "Now you can't act as you'd like, Bakura Ryou!"
Yami's eyes widen. What? Just now he said, 'Bakura Ryou!' He narrows his eyes. It can't be! Yami looks at him as he laughs creepily. This guy…He's not Bakura!
Dark Bakura holds his left hand, which is bleeding. "Next is the beast Tamer, Yugi's turn. So hurry up with it already!"
"Beast tamer will try his hand power on Demon King Zooku," Yami states.
"What?!" Dark Bakura demands. "Hand power is a spell used for turning enemy monsters into comrades. Do you think that would work on Zooku?!"
Yami just gazes at him. If Bakura's real soul is hidden in his left arm, then perhaps in Zooku too. Yami releases the dice.
Yugi lifts his hands. "Guiding Hands, appear!" The energy surrounds Zooku.
"Fool! If you want Zooku-sama to join you, you must be over level one million!" Zooku taunts. He stops and looks at his left arm when Yugi's energy disappears. A fog comes from Zooku's left arm. "What is this?!"
Dark Bakura looks at the board. "What?! This can't be happening!" His eyes widen, and he leans forward. "That's...!"
A white-clad figure emerges from the fog and jumps to the ground, landing in front of the others.
Isis blinks her eyes. "I thought so."
"You're Bakura-kun, right?" Yugi questions.
Bakura nods his head. "Thanks, everyone! You got me out! I am White Mage, Bakura. I want to join you guys!"
Yugi nods his head happily. "Of course!"
Jonouchi lifts his sword in the air. "Alright! We've got another comrade."
Anzu nods her head. "Thank goodness!"
"Fight! Fight!" Honda cheers.
"Everyone, let's do our best!" Miho encourages happily.
"We're nearly there," Isis added.
"Alright, let's go, everyone!" Yami calls out. "The magic gunman attacks next. Determining hit chance!" Yami releases the dice. They land on 1 and 5.
"Here I go!" Honda shoots his gun, hitting Zooku in the side.
Yugi gasps in amazement.
"That's amazing!" Miho praises.
"What happened?!" Jounouchi questions. "It's much more effective than before!"
Bakura's staff stops glowing. "Zooku doesn't have the same defense power as before. I used my white magic to lower his power!"
Yugi and the others let out a sound of surprise before looking back at Zooku. Isis looks back at Zooku's non-healing arm and his side. "I see. That's why his arm didn't heal earlier."
Zooku yells as he moves his arm from his side, showing a large chunk of his side is missing. Dark Bakura looks at the board with clenched teeth. I can't believe Bakura Ryou, whom I trapped inside me, has appeared in the game world! This forces me to resort to my last option. I'll show you, low-level guys, that you cannot beat the master!
Yami gazes at the board. This battle appears to be reaching its climax. But the ruler surely has a hidden plan. If I let me guard down, it'll cost us our lives.
Dark Bakura smirks. On the board, Zooku makes a low growling sound as his body shakes. Yugi and the others gasped as his body began to change. It becomes bulkier and changes colour.
"Zooku is transforming!" Yugi exclaims in surprise.
"This is bad! Zooku is using his last resort!" Bakura warns.
Miho takes a step back in alarm while Jounouchi takes a step forward. "Th-this is…"
Zooku finishes his transformation. He is crouched down and seems to be covered in bones. "Do you see?! This is Zooku's final form! His attack power has leveled up! And on this turn, Zooku attacks first!"
Yami looks on, worried. Zooku is focusing his energy for this attack. Will everyone be able to endure it?!
Yugi and the others look on with wide eyes. Isis narrows her eyes as she looks at Zooku's still injured arm and the left side of his chest.
"Everyone, be careful!" Jonouchi warns.
"Wh-what is that?!" Honda questions, looking at Zoku's chest.
Zooku's chest starts to glow red, and energy gathers.
Bakura looks at the chest with wide eyes. No! I don't have time to raise everyone's defenses!
Dark Bakura smirks before releasing the dice. "Dice roll!" It lands on 00.
Yami looks at the dice. Super critical!
"Zooku Inferno!" Zooku calls out. Energy further surrounds his chest, which appears to open, revealing a darker red energy.
Bakura holds up his staff. "White magic! Shining Shield!"
The shield goes up just as Zooku releases his fire attack, causing the others to let out a sound of surprise. Isis looked at the shield in front of them before looking at Bakura, sensing that his magical energy was low and slowly running out, meaning it wouldn't be long before the shield shattered.
Bakura clenches his eyes shut. I've used up my magical energies! I'm turning my hit points into magic energy! Suddenly, his eyes pop open, and he looks to his side with wide eyes. Standing there is Isis, a hand out in front of her as she uses her magic to create another shield on top of Bakura. "Isis…"
"Concentrate." Isis scolds.
Bakura nodded his head and looked back at Zooku.
"Everyone!" Yugi called out before looking up with wide eyes as Zooku's attack died down with none of them injured.
Isis lowered her shield before Bakura, who did the same, as he fell to the ground, weakened.
"Bakura-kun!" Yugi calls out as he runs forward. "You sacrificed yourself for us!"
Isis lets out a low chuckle. "He will be alright."
"Bakura-kun, just wait! On my next turn, I'll use my restoration magic!" Anzu offers.
"I'm fine." Bakura denies. "Anzu-san, if you have magic for healing me, please use it all to attack on this turn instead! I no longer have the power to protect you all. We'll be wiped out unless we finish this on the next turn!"
"B-Bakura-kun…" Yugi calls out worried.
"I understand, Bakura. I won't let you die alone!" Jounouchi states.
"Alright! Time for our counter-attack!" Honda agrees.
Yugi looks at Zooku. Thinking about it, how odd…If Zooku's final form means his offense and defense are increased, then why didn't he transform in the very beginning?
Yami's voice appears in his mind. "That's because that's Zooku's last resort. Zooku has more power, but probably at the cost of exposing his weak spot."
Yugi stands up. "Weak spot?!" He looks at Zooku as he pushes himself up and sees his chest. "That's…" His chest flashes and is covered by a large green and blue eye.
"The emission spot for Zooku's magic attack." Yami starts.
Isis lets out a hmm as she gazes at Zooku's chest. "The eye inside is his weak point."
Yami nods his head. "That is correct, my Queen."
"That eye is the weak spot?!" Honda questions.
Jounouchi lets out a sound of surprise as he takes a step back. The eye on Zooku's chest is slowly closing.
"The emission spot is closing!" Yugi warns.
"Poki!" Poki flies closer.
"No! It's too late!" Honda shouts. "It'll be closed before we can attack!"
Dark Bakura laughs. "Too late! If the emission spot is closed, your attacks will be powerless! I win!"
Yami clenches his teeth, and his eyebrows twitch as he glares at Dark Bakura.
Isis suddenly flinches, getting a bad feeling. She turns to look behind her just to see Poki rushing towards Zooku. "Poki!"
"Poki!" Yugi and Isis call out.
Poki places himself in the emission spot, stopping it from closing.
"Poki!" They all call out.
"W-what?!" Dark Bakura exclaims, surprised.
"Poki!" Poki calls out, strained as the emission spot continues to close slowly.
"Poki!" Anzu calls out.
"What are you doing, Poki?!" Jounouchi demands, worried.
"Use this chance to destroy both of us! Poki!" Poki orders.
"Poki…" Yugi calls out sadly.
"Everyone, thank you for letting me join you guys. It was only for a short time, but it has ended. Poki! Now hurry!"
"Thank you, Poki." Jounouchi starts. "But we won't sacrifice a comrade who has fought with us in battle! We can't defeat evil if we do it by selling out our comrades' lives!"
"Well said, Jounouchi." Isis's praise cause Jounouchi to look away.
"Just wait, Poki! I'll save you! Guiding Hand!" Yugi calls out. "Guiding Hand Jet Stream Punch!" He sent the gloved hand straight towards Zooku's chest. Zooku let out a sound of pain, and the gloved hand burst through his back and opened to show Poki carefully held inside.
"Ah! Poki is…!" Anzu exclaims happily.
"Poki!"
"He did it!" Jounouchi cheers.
Zooku fell to the ground, and Dark Bakura bands his fist on the table, releasing a frustrated sound. "Damn you!"
Yami holds up his dice. "Furthermore, the soldier attacks!" He releases the dice.
"The finisher! Exploding Spirit Slash!" Jounouchi call out. He slashes forward with his sword and slices Zooku in half.
Yugi and Honda let out a gasp of surprise as he does. Zooku falls to the ground face-first.
"He did it!" Anzu cheers.
Miho lifts her hands in the air with a smile on her face. "Zooku has been defeated!"
Isis narrows her eyes. "No, he hasn't yet."
Zooku lifts his head, causing Miho to lose her smile and let out a sound of surprise as she steps back.
"Zooku isn't dead yet?!" Jounouchi questions confused.
"Stubborn bastard!" Honda curses.
Yugi looks on in horror as Dark Bakura begins laughing. "I still have options! Not finishing Zooku in that attack will cost you your lives! On the next turn, Zooku and the players can attack simultaneously!"
Yami looks at Dark Bakura, surprised.
"Yugi!" Dark Bakura points at him. "This is the last dice roll! We both roll, and the winner gets the first attack!"
"You're on, master!" Yami agrees.
They narrow their eyes at each other.
"If I get the first strike, I'll have Zooku blow himself up with the players! If you guys are wiped out, I win!" Dark Bakura brags.
Yami says nothing, but a smirk appears on his face.
"This is our last chance!" Jounouchi warns.
"I'm counting on you, Yami!"
"Yami!" Anzu calls out.
"Yami-kun!" Miho calls out.
"You can do it, my other self. Roll the dice with our faith!" Yugi adds.
"Believe my Pharoah." Isis encourages him with a soft smile.
Yeah! I will, my Queen. I've received everyone's passion! Yami lifts his hand to show the dice between his fingers. I will put everything in these dice! He clenches the dice in his fist. I will win! I will win it for you guys!
Dark Bakura laughs in his mind. It's no use!
"Everyone, be careful!" Yugi warns.
Isis lets out a hmm. "Get behind me if I need to put up a shield."
Zooku pushes himself up further.
"Zooku's still got some power left!" Jounouchi exclaims.
Dark Bakura laughs in his mind once more. Prepare yourself! I'll send Zooku and you guys to the next world! "Your next adventure will be in Hell!" He laughs crazily.
Yami clenches his fist around the dice.
Dark Bakura opened his hand to show the dice in his palm. I will use the Millennium Ring to perform my last maneuver, something I can do only once. I will put a portion of my soul into these dice. Offshoot Dice! He clenches his fist around the dice. His fist glows purple and transfers to the dice. Completed. The glow disappears. If I roll these Offshoot Dice, I will get a super critical! He looks at Yami. "Here I go! Determining who goes first! The dice roll of fate!"
The pair of them throws the dice at the same time.
Dice, please answer our hearts! Yami pleads in his mind, his gaze not leaving the board. The dice land on 00. Alright! Unless the master gets a super critical, we have won!
Dark Bakura looks at his dice with a large smirk on his face. My Offshoot Dice have a 100% chance of rolling a super critical! In a tie, I win. Yugi, you're finished! His dice also lands on 00.
Yami looks at the dice in disbelief. "A super critical!"
Dark Bakura lets out a laugh. "This is the cruelest outcome for you guys." He lifts a finger. "From the heights of victory to the dregs of defeat! I also get a super critical, so Zooku is blowing himself up with you gu-" He cuts himself off and looks at the dice. There is a white glow around them. "Th-This is…What?!" Cracks appear in the dice. "It can't be! Cracks in my dice!"
White light passes through the dice to reveal a figure. This figure turns out to be Bakura Ryou. "You are…!"
"I don't want to lose any more friends. I won't let you have your way anymore!" Bakura states.
"Bakura!" Yami calls out surprised.
"Even if it means my soul will be broken apart!" Bakura adds.
"So you're in these dice?!" Dark Bakura looks at the dice to see more cracks appear. "I won't allow it! I'll use my Millennium Ring to drive your soul out!" He opens his shirt to show the Millennium Ring, which glows and releases energy towards Bakura. Bakura lets out a sound of pain. "Disappear, Bakura!"
One by one, Isis, Yugi, Jounouchi, Anzu, Honda, and Miho appear next to and behind Bakura, causing the attack to stop and keep Bakura standing.
"What?!" Dark Bakura exclaims, surprised.
"Everyone!" Yami calls out, also surprised.
"Your souls are also in my dice?! How?! How are you guys able to do that?!" Dark Bakura demands.
Jounouchi lets out a scoff. "We can do it! Nothing is impossible as long as we care for our friends!"
The dice finally shatter.
"Bakura!" Yami calls out.
Dark Bakura's hands shake as he gazes at the board with wide eyes. "My dice…!"
Yami dice are still on the board, still on 00. Yami clenches his fist and closes his eyes. I have received everyone's feelings. He opens his eyes. "Master! Your dice are gone! We get the first strike!"
Dark Bakura lets out a faint sound as his eyes shake. Yami points a finger at him. "Prepare yourself, Zooku! Immortal Witch and Sorceress, Magic attack! Go!"
"Anzu, are you ready?" Isis questions.
Anzu nods her head. "I am!"
"With our fury imbued in it…" Yami trails off.
"Confringo!/Final Big Bang!" Isis and Anzu call out simultaneously.
Their attacks hit Zooku simultaneously, finally destroying him. At the same time, Dark Bakura shouts as dark purple energy surrounds his Millennium Ring.
"We did it!" Jounouchi cheers.
"Zooku has been defeated!" Honda adds happily.
"That's great!" Miho praises.
"You did good, Anzu." Isis praises.
Anzu looks at Isis before sighing, and a smile appears on her face.
Bakura's body falls unconscious. The string on the Millennium ring snaps, and it falls to the floor, glowing.
"Bakura!" Yami called out before rushing over to him. "Bakura-kun!"
Bakura's eyes flutter before opening. The Millenium Puzzle glows at the same time. Yugi has now taken over again. Bakura lifts his head to look at Yugi. "Yugi-kun?"
"Are you okay, Bakura-kun?" Yugi questions.
Slowly, Isis and the others begin to awaken. Anzu looks at Miho, who still has her head lowered. "Miho? Miho?"
Miho lifts her head. "Oh? Anzu?"
"Everyone! Yugi called out, getting all of their attention.
"We won?!" Jounouchi exclaims.
Isis lets out a chuckle as she walks towards Yugi and Bakura. Jounouchi and the others stand up. "Alright! We're back to normal!" Honda cheers.
Anzu looks at Miho. "Miho! We did it!"
Miho places her closed fists against her chin. "Yup! We won!"
Yugi and Bakura share a smile.
Isis looks down at the Millennium Ring to see that it has stopped glowing, and she can no longer sense energy around it.
~~~A Few Days Later~~~
As usual, the six of them are late and are rushing towards school.
"This is bad! We're late again!" Jounouchi cries as he runs in front.
They rush through the school gate to see Karita standing there. Jounouchi comes to a halt, causing the others to bang into him, and they all fall to the ground.
"Hey! You guys are late again? You're all getting crew cuts!"
They finally arrive at their classroom. Jounouchi throws his bag onto his desk. "That damn Karita jerk! Does he know who restored him to normal?!"
"Really!" Honda agrees. "We should have left him trapped in the game."
"Honda! Jounouchi!" Isis scolds.
"Good morning, Yugi-kun." A voice calls out.
Yugi looks, and a smile appears on his face. "Bakura-kun! Good morning!"
Bakura walks over, carrying a box. "There's something I want to show you guys today."
"Something you want to show us?" Yugi repeats.
"What is it?" Anzu questions.
Bakura removes the lid. "This."
Yugi and Jounouchi let out a shout of surprise.
"It's cute!" Isis, Anzu and Miho praise.
It is a diorama of Isis, Yugi, and the others. At the front, there is Yugi, Miho, and Jounouchi with their arms raised in the air. To the left is Poki and the Red Dragon. Behind them are Anzu and Bakura, with their staff raised. Behind them to the right is Honda with his Gun raised. To the right is Yami holding a dice and Isis leaning against him.
Bakura picks up the diorama. "This diorama is a record of the adventure from that day. The proof of friendship that everyone fought for!"
"Yeah!" Jounouchi nods his head.
Yugi: "That's right. It's just as Bakura-kun said. It's the proof of our friendship."
Anzu: "Proof of our trust in each other, our everlasting bond!"
Isis: "Jounouchi and Honda…"
Jounouchi: "Anzu and Miho…"
Miho: "Bakura-kun and Yugi…"
Yugi: "Isis-nee and Yami…"
Isis lets out a chuckle. "It will never change."
Yugi nods his head. "The memorial to the day when we forged the bonds of this friendship!"
