   Summary

   During his duel with Marik, Joey had everything he needed to win. He had support from his friends, he had the determination, he had the will to go on. It was his body that had failed him, it had been his body's lack of strength that led to his loss. But, what if he managed one last defiant last stand against fate itself?
