Bakura's worry over the fate of his friend had only deepened as he, Vash and Light had gone in circles in the cave system, winding ultimately back at the mirror; a mixed blessing that had allowed them to send Light back to Death City before the partnered duo hurried back into the caves once more.

It was only by chance that Bakura had heard the scraps of yelling and the soft echoes of a familiar voice. But the relief at having found his friend was cut short as they arrived at the same time as the attacking monster.

"Look out!"

Bakura only spared the brief seconds needed to yell the warning before transforming into his die form, Vash aiming as he rolled to send out the wave of white energy that would harmlessly wash through the Guests in the room if they happened to be in its path to slam into the cackling monstrosity.

It let out a pained and indignant shriek as it was knocked back, but not defeated.

"Hurry up and get back to the mirror, we'll cover you!" Vash called to the group as he and Bakura readied for another shot.
