Yami stared up at Ra with wide eyes, unable to grasp that his father had just summoned the strongest god in all of Egypt. Kuriboh growled as his fur stood on end, ready to fight. Yami glared at the beast and clenched his hands into tight fists. He drew a sharp breath and called out for Kuriboh to attack. Kuriboh let out a cry as he flung his small body towards Ra and used his sharp claws to scratch at Ra's golden armor. Yami could hear his father laugh loudly.

"Is that all your Kuriboh can do, my son?" Yami's father asked and Yami didn't reply. Yami yelled for Kuriboh to keep striking, hoping to find a weak spot. Kuriboh glared at the armor as his claws kept scratching at the rough armor. Ra just stared at Kuriboh with an awkward stare, as if questioning what the small fluff ball was doing. Yami growled when he noticed every attack Kuriboh made didn't scratch Ra's armor.

"YAMI!" Yuugi screamed from inside his orb of containment. Yami could only hear a soft cry that Yuugi gave out and it made his blood run cold to see Yuugi locked up, desperately trying to get out like a caged animal.

"Why do you mock me?" Yami heard his father mutter.

"I am not mocking you." Yami said with a light growl. Yami saw his father snap and Ra swiped at Kuriboh and sent the small creature flying back. Yami caught Kuriboh before his faithful monster hit the ground and they both flew back a few feet. Yuugi cried out and banged on the walls forcefully. Yami could hear the pounding of Yuugi's fists and he stood tall and let Kuriboh fly out of his arms and back to attack Ra.

"Persistence…" Yami's father muttered as he snapped again. Ra swiped at Kuriboh again and watched as Kuriboh hit the wall and fell to the floor. Yami let out a cry as his monster was injured and he shivered in pain; him and Kuriboh both connected to each other and can feel everything. Yami heard his father snap again and Ra drew in a breath and used a devastating energy blast that hit Kuriboh head on. Kuriboh and Yami both screamed in agonizing pain. When the dust cleared, Yami had fallen to the ground from the intense pain and was unmoving; Kuriboh was in the same position.

"YAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!" Yuugi screamed as he looked at his fallen love. Tears quickly filled his eyes and fell down his cheeks. He screamed and pounded on the container fiercely. With a forceful hit, the orb shattered and Yuugi jumped out and ran to Yami's side.

"What!" Yami's father asked with wide eyes.

"Yami! Yami!" Yuugi cried out as he knelt down and picked Yami up, cradling him carefully. He wiped the blood off of Yami's lip and watched his tears fall onto Yami's face.

"Wake up! Yami, you have to wake up! You can't let everyone down! All of Egypt needs you! All your friends need you! I need you!" Yuugi cried out and shook Yami. "Y-you have to open your eyes!"

"A-ah…?" Yami swallowed and opened his eyes slowly. Once his vision cleared his stared into Yuugi's bright amethyst eyes that had tears pouring out of them. Yami sat up a little and touched Yuugi's wet cheeks. Yuugi brought Yami close and smothered him with affection and showered him with tears.

"Oh, Yami! I was so worried you were dead!" Yuugi cried.

"It takes a lot more than one attack to kill me." Yami smirked. "I just needed a minute to get up is all."

"Kuri!" Kuriboh said as the brown fluff was up and bouncing around. Yuugi gave Yami a deep kiss and Kuriboh suddenly stared to glow. Yuugi and Yami looked at Kuriboh and noticed that two fluff balls were there, and suddenly there were four and then eight after that. Yuugi's eyes were wide as Yami felt his lips curl into a smirk. Thousands of Kuriboh's filled the room and they kept popping up and many of them were attacking Ra with their claws or exploding into the beast. Yuugi helped Yami stand up and Yami smirked, the taste of victory starting to become evident on his lips.

"How can this be!" Yami's father cried out.

"Because of love!" Yuugi said as he held Yami's hand tight. Both of their bodies were glowing a bright green color and Yuugi closed his eyes as a warm feeling filled his entire body. Yami gripped Yuugi's hand tight and stared at the crippled Ra. The Kuriboh's let out a cry as Yami and Yuugi commanded them to attack again. Yami's father let out a loud cry as all the Kuriboh's attacked Ra at once and defeated the giant. Only one Kuriboh, the original one, remained after that attack. Yami's father fell to his knees and he started to laugh gently.

"Father…?" Yami asked gently.

"You did it…you beat me…"

"I don't understand…" Yami murmured. He looked at his father and noticed there was a gentle expression in his father's eyes that he now began to remember. He heard his father murmur something before he fell to the ground.

"FATHER!" Yami cried out as he ran to the injured man, Yuugi and Kuriboh following. Yami knelt down and lifted his father up carefully.

"You earned your name…" Yami's father smiled. "…Atem…"

"Atem…?" Yami murmured softly. He saw his father nod and he shook his head gently.

"It's your name…your true name…once you meet the council again…say your true name and their souls will be ripped from their bodies…you now have that power…that's why I wanted you to have no name when you were young…due to how powerful it was…I did it to protect you…" Yami's father murmured.

"F-father…!" Yami gripped his father tight and stared at him in pure astonishment. He felt his father begin to fade from his grip and he suddenly cried out. "Father! Do not go! I have so much I want to say!"

"Speak fast, my son…"

"I'm sorry for being angry with you. I'm sorry for thinking you hate me. I really did look up to you and love you…Father…I do look up to you and love you." Yami said softly.

"As do I…" Yami heard his father murmur before he vanished. Yami looked at his empty hands and clenched his fists. Yuugi touched Yami's shoulders gently and Yami looked at Yuugi. Yami stood up and pulled Yuugi close, gripping him tight.

"Yami…" Yuugi whispered gently.

"We need to kill those traitors. Come." Yami said as he led Yuugi and Kuriboh out of the room and headed back towards the council members. The seven members that belonged to the council were all watching the sun start to set, figuring Yami was dead and Egypt was there's. Suddenly they saw a something start to approach them from a ray of light. They all gasped and whispered amongst themselves as they saw Yami walk out, Yuugi holding his hand and Kuriboh following.

"You council members have done horrible things and for this you all shall pay!" Yami cried and gripped Yuugi's hand tight. An aura of green and black surrounded himself and Yuugi as Kuriboh bounced around, screaming at the council.

"By the name of the pharaoh, you all will perish! That name is Atem!" Yami cried out and the council members screamed loudly. Within the blink of an eye all that remained of the council was a bunch of bones. Everyone that those men had captured started to wake up and they all groaned.

"Ugh…what happened?" Mana asked as she rubbed her head.

"My head's killin' me!" Jounouchi whined.

"EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK! BONES!" Anzu screamed as she stood up and ran off, Ryou following her lead. Shimon stood up and shook his head, wobbling around a little. Mahaado assisted Mana in standing as did Seto to Jounouchi.

Yuugi looked around, wondering if his grandfather was nearby. Yami looked at Yuugi curiously and Yuugi kept looking around. A sudden jolt filled Yuugi's soul and a tear slipped down his cheek. Yami touched Yuugi's wet cheek and turned him so they were looking eye-to-eye.

"What's wrong?" Yami asked softly.

"Grandfather's dead…that man who we saw…he wasn't him…" Yuugi spoke softly and sadly. Yami pressed his lips to Yuugi's and held him close. Yuugi pulled away and touched Yami's face tenderly. Yami took Yami's hand in his own and held it.

"Everything seems to be at peace." Yami murmured.

"Yes…everything is as it should be…" Yuugi smiled tenderly and gave Yami a kiss. Seto took Jounouchi into his arms and held him tight, kissing him hotly against the wall. Bakura grabbed Ryou and flung the boy over his shoulder, carrying him off with a cackle. Mana jumped into Mahado's arms and bumped her nose against his, giggling softly and teasing him. Mahado grinned at the young girl and bumped his nose against hers. Shimon and Anzu walked off, for they were back to normal. Kuriboh bounced around with glee; the kingdom was safe and would be ruled with a king and his lover as well as their friends assisting them.
