Thank you so much for your patience, I hope you enjoy the end of this story!

After Marik had called them all the duelists gathered where Bakura and his strange monster's had appeared. Harry silently followed after his master, wondering what sort of magic was at work here. He had been learning from things his master said that there was more than just the Wizarding magic he knew of. There was the magic of the Millennium Items that seemed to be in a realm all its own. Harry narrowed his eyes at the monsters on the field as Bakura ended another challenger with a sound and almost embarrassing defeat.

Marik had known it had been too much to ask that all the Yami's reform and live a peaceful life. Thought to be honest had had always thought he would be the one to break. He cast a side glance at Harry and saw that the young man was disturbed by what he saw on the field. Marik couldn't help but agree. While when Harry fought for his master some of his personality showed through on the field, the monsters that Bakura had brought to life seemed entirely lifeless. Their eyes were empty and the millennium eye was bright and foreboding on their foreheads.

Harry was starting to think that what he was witnessing was a mix of Wizard and Millennium magic. He tried to ignore the fact that he was looking at the mindless droning forms of his friends. He knew that his eyes grew blank when he fought, but they retained their color even though no one could see, and he still had some of his own thought. However after seeing how the monsters fought he knew that his friends had to be completely gone to allow that to happen.

Suddenly an idea occurred to him "Of course…imperio…" he murmured to himself, if someone combined that spell with the Millennium magic in those alter forms then it was possible to create a mindless weapon out of a human. His eyes flashed in anger as he watched as a rather underhanded maneuver cost another player his life points.

Yugi whispered softly to Yami Yugi "We have to do something…we can't let this continue…" His Yami understood his Hikari's fears and tried to calm him. But the former pharaoh himself needed reassurance. He knew with weapons like these a person was basically without equal. He looked towards Marik, knowing that if any of them stood a chance of stopping Bakura at this point it would be the Tomb Keeper.

Marik sighed and turned to Harry, trying to ease his concern over the fact that Harry was still injured from the senseless match earlier. "It looks like it's up to me and you." He was met with a solemn nod and he once again wondered what his monster was hiding from him. But for now it would have to remain a mystery as he raised his hand offering himself to be the next challenger, and ignoring the fact that Harry had once again vanished.

Bakura smiled darkly when he saw that Marik was offering to challenge him. This way he could keep his end of the bargain and take care of business rather quickly. He had promised the Dark Lord to get him the one known as 'Harry Potter' in exchange for helping him create monsters of his own. The man had also told him that if Harry had any of his mind left it would be difficult for him to fight these monsters. Marik knew then that the Dark Lord had little knowledge on how the game was played. The monsters were pawns and nothing else, it was the ones holding the cards who were really fighting.

Harry appeared on the field and was for once glad for the emotional distance he had when fighting under his master's control. Luna stood before him looking solemn as she was the Lady of Faith. She looked so sad that Harry was certain that she was able to feel something through the spell. The giant hat covered most of her face but Harry was almost sure he could see tears glistening in her eyes.

Before he weakened too he moved on to the rest of the monsters covering the field, there was the card Headless Knight in play and Harry could see the faint outline of a head, it only took him a second to identify Ron in his current state.

Once again he was forced to move on, Bakura wasn't holding back against Marik that was certain. The Earl of Demise stood on the field and had a faint resemblance to Lucius Malfoy. Harry's heart clenched at the thought that the Dark Lord was insane enough to sacrifice even his closest Death Eaters.

Harry struggled to remain emotionless, knowing that his friends were not the ones he was fighting but rather mindless monsters. He calmed when he heard his master's Hikari in his mind trying to calm him down. He took a deep breath, Marik was too busy fighting to calm his fears but he had asked his Hikari to do it for him. He nodded; he knew that in order to defeat the Millennium Item that controlled his friends he would have to have faith in his Master to use his own Millennium magic to win.

Marik felt his Hikari go to calm Harry and knew that he would have to fight quickly if he was going to win with the minimal damage to his monster's mind as possible. He narrowed his eyes at Bakura who was smirking darkly back at him. He would not hold back.

Marik didn't waste any time getting rid of the live monsters. Harry was still on the field and the sooner the other monsters were gone the better he would be. He first used Melchid the Four-Faced Beast to destroy the Lady of Faith.

In retaliation Bakura destroyed one of his trap cards. That was fine with Marik as he used his Makyura the Destructor to defeat the Headless night and when Makyura was sent to the Graveyard by The Earl of Demise he activated the real trap he wanted to use in his hand. He used the Nightmare Wheel on Bakura's powerful Earl of Demise, taking five hundred points from Bakura's life points during every standby phase. The Earl of Demise was no longer able to fight weakening Bakura further.

Bakura's eyes narrowed angrily as he tried to regain control over the battle. He eyed Helpoemer and knew what would happen if he sent that card to the Graveyard. Knowing this he did not attack it at all, and was surprised when Marik didn't take advantage of this and fight with him. He wondered if it was because Marik was trying to go easy on his Monster and prevent him from fighting his own friends. Bakura set a few more traps; he was unable to do anything else and pulled several more cards. Something needed to change quickly if he was going to win.

With the Earl of Demise trapped and every standby weakening Bakura's points Marik knew that he had won the duel. He sacrificed Helpoemer and Melchid the Four-Faced Beast to summon Masked Beast Des Guardius; with that card he destroyed the Earl of Demise and the rest of Bakura's Life Points.

Harry appeared next to his Master's side and watched Bakura anxiously to see what would happen to his friends now that their master had been defeated. Marik told him that he believed once the Monster's master was defeated they would return to their normal selves. It was true, in their usual bodies and of their own minds Ron, Luna, Hermione as well as some Death Eaters appeared before him. He felt himself stiffen so not all of his friends had been in play; this calmed him a bit before he realized that he was going to be facing a forked road very soon.

Hermione's eyes lit up when she saw Harry, even in his strange form she knew it was her friend and she ran over to embrace him, quickly followed by Ron and Luna "Oh Harry we were so worried about you! The Dark Lord has slowly destroyed the Order while you were gone! He found our base and launched a surprise attack." Tears came to Hermione's eyes and Harry knew it was possible that he was looking at the only survivors of that attack. Hermione brightened and said "But now we will win! We just have to defeat your master and you can come back with us!"

Marik felt himself stiffen at the thought that his Monster would want to leave him and return to his former life. He told himself that he hadn't even wanted this burden in the first place. The Monster had just come to life out of nowhere and trailed him around like a lost puppy calling him master. He shook his head; he would throw a duel if that's what Harry wanted…but Marik and his Hikari both knew that he would be missed.

Harry smiled softly at Hermione, he was under Marik's control, but unlike Bakura, Marik left him with the ability to think with his own mind. He embraced Hermione and said "If the Oder's fallen that far then the war is over…" He shook his head "If we're all that's left…we don't stand a chance." He could see the rage on Ron's face at this statement but he knew that it was the truth.

Marik told himself that it was foolish to believe that his monster was actually saying he'd rather stay with him. After all just because he didn't return to where he came from didn't mean that he was going to stay with Marik. At least that's what he as telling himself before Harry came over and took his hand.

Harry smiled at his friends, he knew that they would think it was the spell or that he was being a coward, but if Dumbledore and the Order were really gone then they had no hope to stand against the Dark Lord. They did instead have a chance to start a new life far from his influence and control. When his friends saw that his decision was set Ron didn't cast him another glance and left.

Hermione looked confused as she looked between the two but she followed after Ron just like Harry knew she would. Luna smiled dreamily at him and came over to his side. "That's a very fancy Nargle you've set yourself up with." She smiled sweetly making Harry laugh and Marik look at her with outright confusion.

Later it was decided that Luna would stay with Seto and Joey, both of which seemed to be fascinated with the slightly insane witch. Harry returned with his master back to the apartment, he noticed the silence that surrounded him but said nothing, wondering if his weakness when fighting his friends had disappointed his master.

Marik was still trying to understand why Harry had decided to stay with him. Though with how easily Harry's friends left he thought it was maybe a better thing that he chose to stay. He opened the door into the apartment and motioned for Harry to enter.

They stood in the doorway in silence for a moment, their eyes slowly rising to meet the others. Finally Marik's Hikari could stand it no more and demanded 'KISS him already!' Marik thought that was the best idea he had heard all day. He used his muscular arms to pull Harry's slight and barely covered body towards him and slowly lowered his lips down to Harry; it was a soft kiss at first. Marik was unused to this depth of emotion but when Harry responded passionately he couldn't hold himself back and forced his tongue into the small soft mouth beneath his. He stroked his tongue against Harry's slowly as he guided the Monster back into his room, his Hikari urging him on as he went.

Harry fell back against his Master's bed and looked up at those exotic amethyst eyes that were surrounded by darkly tanned skin and shockingly light hair. He smiled and reached forward "Master…" He purred bringing Marik into another kiss and moaning as his master's hand traveled over his body.

At his master's touch his clothes seemed to melt away and Harry knew what was to come, he gave a jolt in surprise when he used accidental magic to lube himself. Marik slowly pushed a finger into him to prepare his hole and Marik chuckled darkly into his ear "That's a neat trick." He nipped at Harry's ear before pushing himself all the way in.

Harry arched against the bed, he knew that his master was a rough man, but he never knew how erotic that roughness could be in bed, nips and kisses covered his body as his master allowed him only a second to adjust before moving. Harry's innocent body was unprepared for the force of action but he quickly adjusted since it was his master's wish.

Marik looked down at the beautiful form of his monster and was glad that he had chosen to stay. He placed a soft kiss on Harry's lips before increasing his pace, eventually they could hold back no more and both of them came together. Laying limp in the bed Marik pulled his monster into his arms and covered him with a sheet.

His Hikari murmured in his ear that perhaps it wasn't so bad the monster had chosen them after all. Marik told his Hikari to shut up and the Hikari replied that the next time was his turn. Marik rolled his eyes as he went to sleep. He always knew his Hikari wasn't as light as the others.
