The creature hissed and tried to escape but to no good. Serena's deck glowed and Guardian of the King appeared, floating by Mahad. She followed his attack and hit the creature with Gearfree, both blades running the creature thru. It hissed one last time and a voice that made blood run cold said "this is not the end Pharoh...your shadow may have stopped me this time...but she won't be around forever..." The creature exploded, guardian shilding the group with her sword. Then the creature was no more. Yugi moaned, trying to sit up fully, looking around. "What...happened..." He then looked up and saw Serena leaning over him, still shielding him. He stared in horror as he slowly saw what had happened. Serena smiled weakly and said "it's....alright...you and Yami...are....safe...." She got to her feet slowly, her eyes clouded over as Yugi tried to get up to help her. She looked at Yami and said "I told you...I would keep you safe...in any....life..." She fell to the side, her strength gone.
