Epilogue
It was all over. Yugi, Anzu, Jonouchi, Honda, Sugoroku, and Kaiba and Mokuba, who had all narrowly escaped destruction, stood side by side. Pegasus came up, his wheelchair pushed by one of his men.
“The best card I’ve created has too gone up and gone away in flames. The need for me to stay here has just gone away.”
Pegasus snaps his fingers to signal his man, making the man in black push Pegasus’ wheelchair and board the helicopter. The helicopter kicked up a cloud of dust and took off. Silence one again came to the wrecked Kaiba Dome, which was Kaiba’s dream.
“What in the world was that thing?” Anzu asks to no one in specific.
“It was one of the mysteries of Ancient Egypt …And all of it has been sealed along with its darkness.” Sugoroku was the one to answer.
Kaiba pulled away from Mokuba’s support to stand on his own and walked over to Kaiba himself. Kaiba and Yugi stand face to face, at a distance.
“Kaiba-kun…”
“The powers of darkness…I don’t believe in stuff like that…I am going to surpass you, Yugi, on my very own! The road to my glory will start from this very moment!”
A smile formed on Yugi’s face, which was staring at Kaiba intently.
“You’re a true duelist after all, Kaiba-kun.”
“Yugi…you’re the true Duel King once more…However, I will be the one to defeat you…” Kaiba turned on his heels and tried to leave the Kaiba Dome.
“Brother!”
Kaiba suddenly stopped walking and looked back towards Mokuba. Kaiba, who hadn’t changed the expression in his face all of this time, formed a faint smile on his lips.
“Mokuba…Lend me your shoulder…”
Mokuba stared at Kaiba’s face, startled. “M-Mm-hmm! Of course! Sure thing!” Mokuba made haste to lend Kaiba his shoulder.
“We haven’t had the time to really talk for a while, haven’t we? Want to join me grab a bite to eat?”
“Gladly, Brother!” (Yugi…Thank you…) Mokuba whispered in his mind while walking and lending Kaiba his shoulder. (You got back Brother’s heart just like you promised. I may have said I hated dueling, but you can be sure that I’ll begin to like it again.)
Anzu, Jonouchi, Honda and Sugoroku had all gathered around Yugi.
“I may have done something you could never forgive me for, ” Sugoroku spoke with an unusually serious face. “Everyone could have been mixed into a horrible mess because I entrusted the Millennium Puzzle to you.”
“What are you talking about, Grandpa?” Yugi looked at his friends. “Thanks to getting this Millennium Puzzle…and thanks to playing Duel Monsters…I was able to make so many friends, right, everyone?” Jonouchi, Honda, and Anzu all nod their heads in affirmation. “Jonouchi-kun, Honda-kun, Anzu-chan…and…” Yugi suddenly turned around and had not noticed that Dark Yugi was standing right behind him. He was the greatest friend that was visible only to Yugi.
(Isn’t that right, Other Self?)
“Sure is, Partner…”
The two look at each other’s faces and smiled at one another.
