Atem looked around for room 128, his heart pounding in his chest as his time ticked by. He knew he didn't have many minutes to spare as the meeting would end soon and this area would be crawling with hunters. He growled quietly in frustration. As Yugi mentioned, there were some labeled doors and some that weren't. He could sense the puzzle nearby, but honing in on it was proving to be a difficult task. Suddenly he heard lots of footsteps and murmuring nearby. The meeting was over! He could make a mad dash to his cell, but they'd probably never get another chance of finding the right room with the puzzle in it. Atem stayed where he was and peeked through more of the doors. Finally he looked across the hall and he saw it! Room 128! He breathed a sigh of relief and reached for the door handle, adrenaline rushing through his veins as he sensed the puzzle more than ever. But then there was a shadow, a whistling of wind, and a dull, painful thud to the side of his head before his world went black.

Yugi had just finished sucking off Malik and forced to swallow his acid-like release as his "treat" for the day and was now sitting in his lap so Malik can play with him. The tail had been removed a few minutes ago so Yugi was grateful enough to sit quietly and rest his head against Malik's chest without a fuss. Speaking of which, Yugi hadn't seen Malik so genuinely happy before. It was almost unsettling. The way he talked to his guests and mingled with them...you would've thought he was a halfway-normal person. Then again, the man couldn't have built himself from the ground up again without learning a thing or two about people. It was just as well that Malik have his bit of happiness now before Atem bursts through the doors and kills him.
Before Yugi could even relish that thought, a huntress came to Malik and leaned over to whisper into his ear. Yugi looked up and saw Malik's face turn from serene to psychotic within a split second. The man stood up and shoved Yugi onto the floor, who landed roughly on his back. As Yugi rubbed his backside, he knew something must've gone terribly wrong. "Take the whore back to his room!" he shouted and darted off to the main facility where all was dim and dingy. Before Yugi could protest, he was yanked by his chain and dragged back to his room by two hunters. After he was tossed rather unceremoniously into his room, Yugi dashed under his bed to grab his normal clothes and ripped apart the dreadful costume he was in. In fact, he was pumped with so much fear and adrenaline he literally ripped the plastic garments from his body like they were nothing but seran wrap. Just as he finished putting his normal clothes on, the hunters came back and each of them took one of Yugi's arms to roughly drag him to another room. The room was awfully familiar. In fact, Yugi swore this room was the same one he found himself in when he first arrived and got raped by that tentacle monster. Before he could ask what was going on, he heard shouting and something that sounded like a struggle coming down the hallway and towards their room. Yugi held his breath and prayed to the gods that this didn't have anything to do with Atem...
Malik entered the room, first. He had ditched his dinner jacket somewhere along the way and his face was looking positively manic. "Didn't I tell you? Didn't I tell you what would happen if you tried to escape me?" he breathed heavily, his shoulders rising and falling as he spoke.
"No! Please, don't tell me you--"
"That's right, little Yugi. You've been caught. And now it's time to pay the price," Malik sneered just as two more hunters dragged in another person through the door.
Atem had failed. He's been beaten to a pulp and has been brought before Yugi. He's so weak that he fell to his knees the moment the other hunters let go of him. Malik whips out his rod and unsheathes the hidden blade inside to hold it at his throat. "I-I'm sorry, Yugi..." the former pharaoh choked behind a broken jaw.
"No...no, you can't!!" Yugi cried. He ran forward to defend his partner, but he was held back by the hunters standing behind him. He thrashed against them and screamed and begged for Atem's life. "Don't hurt him any more, please!!"
"It's too late, little Yugi. You both knew what would happen if you dared to defy me!" Malik cackled and gripped Atem's hair in his fist to hold him steady. Yugi wrenched his arms away from his captors and ran forward to stop him, but he was too late to stop Malik from pulling the blade across Atem's throat. Atem let out his last breath in a gasp as the knife sliced open his jugular. The last thing he could see was Yugi's sweet face as he tried to run towards him before all went black as blood spurted forth from his neck until he bled out before Yugi's eyes. Malik giggled with glee as Atem's life spilled all over the floor and he savored every moment that it took for the poor man to bleed out. Once the spectacle was over and the light had left the pharaoh's crimson orbs, he let go of his hair and let his body fall to the ground. With a snap of his fingers, one of his servants draped a sheet over Atem's body, and that was the only shred of dignity he was allowed before Malik and the others left the room, leaving Yugi alone with the body of his friend.
Yugi screamed and ran to his partner, gathering him up in his arms, sheet and all and uncovered his face as he tried to wake him up. "Please...no...don't leave me. DON'T LEAVE MEEEEEEEEE!!!!" he screamed to the heavens. "YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS!!! COME BACK!!! Oh gods, please come back!" he sobbed, burying his face in Atem's chest. "I'm so sorry...it's all my fault. Please...come back..." he whimpered and held the pharaoh's body for what felt like hours before finally accepting he was gone. With another sob, he closed his beloved partner's eyes and wrapped him tighter in the sheet. He wanted to hide all the blood from his sight but it just seeped through and covered Yugi in it. He thought about covering Atem's face but he couldn't bear it. This way...it just looked like he was sleeping. With that in mind he cradled the man and sniffled some more, the tears streaming down his face and mingling with the blood on Atem's bruised cheeks. "I-I love you. You know that right?" he whispered. "I'll always love you..."
He choked back more sobs and stood with Atem's body in his arms, the pharaoh's head resting against Yugi's shoulder as if he really were sleeping. Yugi looked down at him one more time, sadness seeping away and being replaced by anger. "He'll pay...I'll make him pay for this!!!" he shouted, his eyes narrowing and crimson flaring in his violet irises. He turned and faced the door. It was left wide open. Malik really didn't think he was worth looking after anymore without Atem. Well he'll regret that. He'll regret it dearly!!
Yugi ran through the hall with Atem's body in his arms. He didn't care how loud he was. He didn't care if he died trying. He needed to get to the puzzle. Using his anger to fuel his sixth sense, he pushed through the cloud of darkness that the sennen rod had cloaked the facility with and found where the puzzle was being relocated. Two servants had it in a box and were moving it to a new room. They heard Yugi's feet slapping against the linoleum as he ran closer and closer and turned around in time to see the small boy hurdling his body towards them. Before they could even have time to react, Yugi tackled the both of them, using the leverage of his and Atem's body and sending them to the ground. In the confusion, the box fell to the ground and the puzzle fell out, gleaming at the arrival of its true owner. Yugi then snatched it up and while holding Atem in his arms, he cried out in rage, "MIND CRUSH!!!!!!!!" The sennen symbol appeared on his forehead, gleaming brightly as it had never done before and the area around him within a 20 yard radius grew cold and dark. The lights flickered and the ground felt like it was shaking as one by one, every servant in the facility fell to the ground unconscious. Yugi could leave now if he wanted to, but his anger wasn't sated. It was time to face Malik!
Malik knew something had gone wrong back in his study when his servants in the room collapsed all around him. He felt a strong power approaching him, but who could it be?? It couldn't be that little brat...he's completely useless without the pharaoh! Whoever it was, they would be no match for him, he was sure of it. Confidently he stood from his desk to find the source, but there was no need for Yugi had kicked open his door with the now deceased pharaoh in his arms and the puzzle gleaming around his neck. Upon his forehead the sennen symbol glowed brightly and shined even brighter still in the presence of Malik. Fueled by Yugi's pain, the puzzle began surrounding Yugi in golden flames in an effort to protect its master.
"So it IS you, little Yugi. Come to give me back what is mine?" Malik grinned, his face stretching and his tongue hanging out. Yugi's aura was actually making him nervous and it excited him. He couldn't wait to see what Yugi would do. Yugi wouldn't have the guts to harm him. That's right...the squirt wouldn't harm a fly. "Or have you come to finish what you couldn't before? Oh wait, that's right...You can't! I'm invincible! And soon I'll do to you what I did to that worthless pharaoh!"
"Look at my face," Yugi shouted.
"What?" the Egyptian was put off at being told what to do and he snarled in slight confusion.
"Now look at Atem's!!! Look at it really hard. I want our faces to be the last thing you see before I destroy you!" Yugi shouted, his voice dropping a few octaves, almost sounding like Atem's as his gentle nature took a backseat.
"YOU CAN'T DESTROY ME, LITTLE YUGI!! I AM IMMORTAL!!" Malik shouted back, laughing hysterically as his eyes warped. He whipped out his rod and shot a ball of energy at Yugi, meaning immobilize him. A squiggly yellow forcefield surrounded Yugi for a few brief moments, but it was no match for the defenses of the puzzle, and Malik's efforts disappeared.
"No you're not! Try all you can, you won't escape! I know why you brought us here, Malik. It wasn't just about the puzzle. Deep down you know I am better than you. I always have been. I am stronger than you will ever be. Now you have awoken our wrath and you will pay for what you have done!!" As Yugi spoke, the flames surrounding his body began filling the room, engulfing everything around them in golden fury. As it covered the floor, Malik yelped and jumped about, the flames burning him wherever they touched.
"SHUT UP! YOU ARE NOT! YOU ARE USELESS!" Malik shrieked just as he had run out of places to go.
"NO!! YOU SHUT UP! I AM YOUR KING! I ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND BEFORE YOU UTTER YOUR LAST BREATH YOU WILL BOW TO US! You will bow to us even if it's just your body collapsing as I suck the life out of you!" Yugi roared, the fires of his fury reflecting in his violet eyes. He stomped the ground and the flames grew higher, melting away Malik's legs as the man screamed in agony. Memories come flooding back to Yugi, how he was told he was too small to stand up for himself and how he couldn't do anything on his own. Atem had always been there to show him that he could. But now Atem was gone and he had to rely on his own power. All of this anger he had been holding back, all of his fears, they all fueled the ocean of fire that was engulfing the manic Egyptian.
"NO!! I WILL NEVER!!! YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!!! It doesn't matter what you do, little Yugi. I have already won! You no longer have the one you love and killing me won't bring him back!! BAHAAHAAHAA!! So kill me if you wish, but I will be victorious knowing that you will be suffering for the rest of your life!!" the madman cackled even as his body collapsed to the point of kneeling without his legs. His face was melting off and his skin was bubbling under the heat.
"You have lost, Malik..."
"What? What are you talking about?" Malik growled, looking up with his last good eye as the other one had fallen out of his eyesocket and his brain juices were dripping out of his face.
"Atem will never be gone. He has always been with me and he always will be. And both of us are watching you kneel before us...just like I said."
"NO!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! SAY WHAT YOU WANT BUT WE KNOW THAT I HAVE WONNNNN!!!!" Malik screamed his last words as Yugi glared him down and the flames engulf the rest of his body.
Once Malik was completly out of sight, the flames disappeared. The room was empty save for Yugi and Atem's body and there were no more traces of Malik. Not even his rod was left to be seen. The puzzle finally stopped glowing and all was quiet. Yugi was alone...all alone.
"I...I did it, Atem," Yugi smiled sadly. His eyes returned to their normal shade of violet, but his anger still remained. It was dimmer, but it would take a while for him to mend. Nothing would ever be enough...Atem wasn't coming back. Tears escaped his eyes again and splashed onto the puzzle which glowed once more. "Wha--?" Yugi looked up and he couldn't believe what he saw. Before him stood Atem...and he was transparent like he used to be before he had his own body. "Atem...are you?"
"Yugi, you've shown so much courage. I'm sorry you had to do this on your own. I know you didn't like doing what you just did, but I've never been more proud of you for standing up for yourself and saving us both," Atem said.
"Saving...both? But you're..." Yugi choked.
Atem kneeled and placed his hands on both of Yugi's shoulders. "It was only a matter of time before Malik sent me to the shadow realm. Although I am no longer alive, it's because of your bravery that I am still free. Things didn't go exactly according to plan, but I wasn't worried about myself as much as I was worried about you. When I died, I feared for your life. But you have saved yourself and now I can go on in peace. Yugi...you really have saved us both."
"But now I have to go home alone...I wish I could've died with you. I love you so much, I can't go back without you!" Yugi sobbed.
"You said so yourself, Yugi. I'm always with you. You must live now for both of us. Don't mourn for me. This is how it should be. We cheated death together so many times, me especially. I should've moved on the moment you helped me get my memories back. It was fun while it lasted and we've made memories together that I will never forget, but now it's time for me to go home."
"But what am I going to do without you? What about Anzu? What am I going to tell Jonouchi-kun and jii-chan?" Yugi sniffled.
"You can do it, Yugi. I know you can. You've proven time and time again how strong you are. You don't need me anymore."
"Mou hitori no boku..."
"I'm no longer the other you. You're the only Yugi in the whole world," Atem smiled and gave Yugi one last hug.
Yugi cried out and dropped Atem's body to cling to his translucent self, burying his face in the other's neck, "I love you so much...I always will."
Atem pulled back and gave Yugi a soft kiss on the lips, holding them there for what felt like a very long time before finally pulling back and saying, "And I will always love you, aibou..." before disappearing into thin air.
Now Yugi really was alone...just him and the puzzle. With a sniffle, he gathered Atem's body in his arms and finally covered his face. Even as bruised up as it was, the man was still beautiful. It hurt Yugi deeply to cover him up, but there was no point in lying to himself any longer. Atem wasn't sleeping and he wasn't ever coming back. "What am I going to do? How am I going to get out of here...?" Once again, the puzzle seemed to answer that question for him. The room was suddenly engulfed with light, temporarily blinding Yugi as he held tightly onto Atem. He felt the floor disappear from beneath him and he suddenly felt weightless. Finally he had to close his eyes so as not to burn his retinas. Seconds later he felt floor beneath him again and opened his eyes. He looked around and saw a familar bed and mirror and desk and...This was...his bedroom?
"I-I'm home? I could've...this whole time? But...was it Atem?" he looked down at the puzzle and wondered if it was Atem who helped him finally get home. "Gods...I...JII-CHAN!!!!!!" he screamed and fell to his knees, clutching Atem's body tighter and sobbing his heart out as he heard thunderous footsteps coming up the stairs.
