The Lost Queen

Goodbye?

A/N: Yes another Yu-Gi-Oh story because my imagination needs to be written, so deal with it. Enjoy!

The Eye of Wdjat in the doorway begins to glow.

"Now that the battle ritual is complete, the Eye of Wdjat that guards the gate to the spirit world has awakened, and the spirit of the great Pharaoh, which was trapped within the Millennium Puzzle for five thousand years, is now free."

Ishizu said. The Pharaoh stands before the door.

"So this is it?"

Tea asked sadly.

"Tells the Eye of Wdjat your name."

Ishizu said to Pharaoh.

"I am the son of King Aknamkanon. My name is Atem."

The Pharaoh said. The door slides open, and light shines through it onto the Pharaoh's face. Atem steps forward towards the light. Téa, Joey, and Tristan call out, and run to the Pharaoh, who stops. Yugi joins them.

"So that's how it ends? The Pharaoh thinks he can just show up and change everybody's life, and then just leave?"

Tristan said in protest as he covers his eyes with his hands. Joey and Téa also close their eyes against tears. Yugi wipes his eyes on his sleeve.

"What Tristan means is that they don't want to say goodbye"

Yugi says sadly. Téa nodded in agreement.

"I know that walking through that door means your spirit will finally be free, and it's all for the best, but it doesn't seem fair! We all feel that we were all just getting to know you-in fact, you was just beginning to get to know yourself, and now you're being taken away from us. I know we should be happy for you, but it's hard to do that when you're losing your best friend, and we don't understand why it has to be that way!"

Tea said in tears.

"I guess there are some things we're not supposed to understand. Just look at me-i go through half my life not understanding what's going on!"

Joey says he starts to cry, too,

"But I knows that true friends may be hard to leave, but they're impossible to forget. And even though your stay wasn't as long as we have liked, we're lucky we knew you at all."

Joey says. Atem mentally gives his thanks to Joey.

'Goodbye and good luck'

Tea thought. As Atem starts again to walk towards the door but stop as the door began to close leaving everyone in confusion.

"Wait, what's going on?"

Mokuba says.

"I don't know but it looks like something is happening"

Duke says as the Eye of Wdjat remained shining until the Light Of Hope appeared in front of the gate.

"I'm sorry, Pharaoh but it is not time for you to rest just yet"

"What?"

Atem said in confusion.

"There is one more puzzle that needs to be completed"
