Yuugi, Atem, Kaiba, and Bakura all waited below.
"Oh, it feels better to be back," Ryou Bakura said to Yuugi. "I didn't like the separation from my body. Forget ever wanting to try astral projection."
Yuugi didn't answer back. Atem was gifted with his own body back too.
Horakhty showed in all it's glory. "You played the game well. You have almost saved the Earth."
What? "Almost? You mean, we need the gods first," Yuugi said. That must be what she meant. "I don't want to undo everything that happened. I don't know how to handle this, Jounouchi loves Mana."
Horakhty didn't stay for long though. Instead, Bastet appeared.
"You may have your winnings of two gods," Bastet told them. "With one, you could wish to have Mana reborn as herself if you wanted, and you could turn back time. They are options."
"Careful, Yuugi. I think we should be minful about this," Atem said toward him.
"Yeah, no one mentioned Hikaru or Masika." Yuugi looked at Bastet. "We were promised Anzu and Satiah."
"Wait!" Bastet showed up as a cat near Bastet' feet. "Don't do it. Don't try this."
"Try what?" Atem insisted.
"Just because Masika will split, and one side will be named Anzu? It will not be your Anzu. Anzu is just a name," Bastet said. "Once fused, nothing can undo them perfectly again."
Atem and Yuugi both made a strange sound from their throats.
"It will be okay," Bastet told them. "Atem may return back to his afterlife, uncursed and happy. Yuugi can return back to the life he had, building and enjoying games."
"Anzu!" Yuugi demanded. "That's what you are trying to make me do? Forget her?"
"No, just . . . if you never saw her again because of this, you would not have any regrets."
"You want to take Hikaru away from Yuugi, and his best friend and lover," Atem said with a mighty voice. "Take everything he's ever wanted, and call that justified?!"
"Time backwards will restore this world back to the way it was before this chaos. Domino City will be back to normal. The residents will return. Your fallen friends will be returned with no problems," Bastet insisted.
"Except Anzu," Yuugi barely breathed out. "She's . . . Masika. Forever."
"You were promised two gods. Masika will be split-"
"Into two different beings, that will never be Satiah or Anzu!" Atem yelled. "A name means nothing in this instance, a person named Anzu will not be Anzu. Only Zorc knew where they split because it was in her."
"That's right, Zorc let me speak to Anzu," Yuugi agreed. "Zorc could do it. We are the winners, force the loser to do something!"
It sounded blown up and egotistical, but Yuugi was doing everything he could to get Anzu back. "I want my friends back. I want my city, I want my family safe, but I want that time too. Anzu and I, we connected in that time. Only that time. And Hikaru." He held her son tightly. "He's ours."
"I." Atem dropped to his knees, and did something Yuugi never saw. He bowed and begged to someone else. "I will give whatever it takes. Take this body back, force me into some kind of contract, place me a thousand years into the puzzle, I don't care! Save our friends and family along with the world. Please."
Yuugi bowed his head. "Please. Anything."
"Please?" Bastet looked toward Bastet. "They will do it, they will pay for their wives. They must for all the illegal power anyhow."
