Yami had a hard time believing that Yugi had a darkened soul. He has always known the young boy to have a bright, pure soul compared to his own. Though noticing this light next to him, Yami had shielded his eyes at first only to have seen what had thought to see in his dreams/visions. He felt a familiarity with her and therefore didn't feel as surprised of her presence than he would have thought. Yami felt himself straighten when she spoke to him before stepping forward, "Yugi. Serena felt to protect you. She is not angry nor upset. Only worried and concerned about your well being as she seems to be with mine." He continued his advances, slow and cautious. He reached a hand out to touch Yugi's own hand and smiled. "Please do not feel doubt and this sadness that surrounds your mind. You are strong and have proved that many times. Wake up and show just how strong you really are." Yami told him, confident as he has always been with Yugi. 

Joey and Seto watched as in surprise that she spoke of Yami, their concentration (mainly from Joey surprisingly) was focused on the creature while Mahad still help the spell bound young teen. Seto drew his own card as he laid the card down. It seemed to be a facedown spell/trap. But the two friends/rivals seemed to agree with each other without saying a word. "Blue-eyes, White Lightning!" Seto commanded to the dragon as it attacked as commanded, only to miss on purpose. "Axe Raider! You heard the lady!" Wheeler spoke up next. Axe Raider went for Invader, only for the distraction. Though looked as if to actually attack the woman. "We got this Serena. You hang tight and let us be the muscles." Joey said with confidence and that flame of a duelist. Seto said nothing but nodded curtly at Wheeler's words.
