Serena nodded and handed him the key. Then a voice called to Yami “the key at last…put it in the hole in your puzzle my king…” when Yami did both the puzzle and Serena’s pendant flashed and Serena’s shadow moved and grew, take shape and form. Then the shadows moved away as a huge gold and black wolf appeared behind Serena. It was huge, bigger than Khurm, and bent his head to Yami. “My king…I’m honored to finally be by your side again…” 

Serena turned and her eyes went wide. “The Bane…” the god of shadows moved forward and said “let’s shut this gate down…” he howled loudly as Khurm did the same and the goddess of luck blasted her magic into the portal to shut it. The portal flashed and then vanished in a flash of gold. The gods nodded and two behind them vanished. 

The Bane moved to Yami and said “when you need me, use the key to call on me as your father did…and have my shadow nearby. She is my host…” then he vanished. 

Serena stumbled back, breathing hard. “That was…nuts…” she then saw the red mist behind Yami and she yelled “Yami look out!” She moved and pulled Yami out of harms way and Drake was there blasting the wand from before into where Yami had been and hit Serena in the chest. She cried out as the wand targeted her soul to pull it out. 

Duke yelled “Serena! Joey get that freak off of her!” 

Yami was caught by shadows and he heard the voice again “let me take him down my king…let me save my shadow…”
