Me:I'm back! Yes, this story is coming to a close. Sad, I know

Anzu:That is sad, but there will be a surprise in the last chapter

Me:Yes, yes there is. I don't own Yugioh and never will. I don't own Elecktra because she belongs to Sorceress of the nile. I do however own minor OC characters. Gaea however belongs to mythology. No flames, but everything else is appreciated


"I'M NOT EVER GOING TO LET YOU GO!"

Elecktra glanced over to Gaea, who had a hand over her eyes, tear marks trailing down her face. For a split second, Elecktra felt pity for the archon. She knew what it was like to be alone. She grunted when Miyu hit her in the arm with her blade. She smelled the coppery scent of blood and immediatly blanched. No matter how much blood she had seen before, she never got used to seeing it.

Yami shoved Demetriou away from him, kicking him in the back. "Bakura! Try to get to Anzu!"

Bakura nodded and ran towards the archon. She took her hand away from her eyes and lifted her ceptor as if to hit him with it. Bakura just looked at her calmly. "Anzu, I know you're in there. If you are, see my pinky? We made a promise to protect one another no matter what. I'm going to keep that promise." Gaea just looked at him as he kept coming closer. "GET AWAY FROM ME! I HATE YOU!"

"Why do you hate me?"

"YOU TOOK HER FROM ME! ANZU IS MINE! SHE WAS ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO BE MINE!" She breathed through her teeth, "How would you like it if someone took the one thing that was special to you?"

Bakura rolled his eyes. "I wouldn't like it, but Anzu is her own person. Plus, things have changed. People don't do stupid things like let someone take over them."

Gaea grabbed him by his shirt, lifting him up in the air. Bakura struggled, seeing as air passage was becoming tight. "I hate change!" The archon shouted at him. "Change is horrible!"

'Are you afraid of change?'

Bakura noticed Gaea falter a little, her grip on him a little more relaxed. He knew Anzu must have spoken to her, because Gaea wasn't speaking.

'I'm not afraid of change! I hate it! Things change and then everyone abandons you. Just like Antheia!'

Anzu stared at the archon in front of her, feeling sad for her other half. Gaea had broken down and started crying, her tears flowing to the floor and sobs racking her body. 'If change is part of life...how cruel...how cruel that kindness is.'

Anzu went over to her. 'I know it's scary being on your own. When my twin died, I was a mess too. But I had people who loved me and took care of me and now I'm better. Change is good.'

'Then why did Antheia leave me? Did she hate me that much?'

Anzu shook her head, knowing the reason Antheia left. 'She didn't hate you. You were binding her to you. She wanted freedom, the freedom to live her own life. She fell in love with Damion and they had me. I never knew about you until now.'

Gaea looked at her. 'I...I don't want to be alone.'

'I know.'

Bakura looked at Gaea as she snapped out of her trance. She took her staff and flung Bakura to the floor, his head hitting the edge of the stairs. Gaea was now on her knee's, crying. Bakura found this weird. An archon...was crying. Why on earth was she crying?

"Don't...Don't leave me behind...Please..." She said, to no-one in particular. Bakura got up, blood pouring from his head. Gaea stood up and her mouth dropped when she saw him on his legs. He frowned and ran towards her. She summoned more creatures to stop him, but he just pushed right through them as he got closer to her. She screamed when his hand reached her face, tearing off the mask and revealing her eyes. He threw his arms around her and pulled her to the ground, refusing to get off her.

"GET OFF ME! I WILL KILL YOU!" She screamed at him, trying to use her powers, but he refused to let go.

"No. I will never let go of you. Not till I get my Anzu back."

"She's gone! She's with me! She'll never leave me!"

And then she was quiet, her eyes seemed frozen as she went to go speak with Anzu again. Everyone else noticed that the creatures had vanished. Elecktra took this oppertunity to shove the sharp end of her staff into Miyu's stomach. Miyu gasped, blood coming out of her mouth and clutched her stomach. Elecktra gave her a mecyless look and pulled it out, the girl droping dead. She sighed. At least this one was out of the way.

Gaea stared at Anzu as she stood in front of her other half. Anzu gave her a smile. "I'm not going to leave you Gaea."

"You're not? You're going to stay with me forever." Anzu shook her head, causing Gaea's face to fall. "I'm setting you free Gaea."

"Free?"

Anzu nodded. "It's time for this cycle to stop. I won't have my descendents have the same fate as me. It isn't fair and you know it."

Gaea shook her head. "But we're the same person. I have alway's been with you. From the moment you were conceived in this world."

"We'll alway's have each other. But it's time for you to let go of the bonds that are tying you. That's why your never happy. You're always tied down to the same thing. Change is apart of life."

"But...but I'm scared. I don't want to be alone."

Anzu smiled and gave the archon a hug. "You're not alone. I'll always be with you. We're the same person after all."

Gaea thought about this, tears of joy falling down her face. "You mean that?" Anzu nodded her head and tok the archon by her hand. "It's time to let me go, for me to let you go. It's time to release the bonds that are tying you down. You're supposed to be free and like the wind. Not tied down."

Gaea nodded. "I...I want to go home. To my real home. Where the rest of the gods are. I see now that they accepted change. My children were put into Tartarus because they could not embrace change either and so they stuck to their evil ways."

Anzu nodded her head. "Then it's time for you to go home. They're waiting for you I bet."

Gaea clutched Anzu's hand. "Before I go, I want to give you something."

"What's that?"

"A part of me. A part of me will always live inside you, it will be passed down to all your descendents. Do you accept?"

Anzu smiled and nodded. "I accept and I love you Gaea."

"I love you too Anzu."

...

"Anzu...Anzu...Anzu wake up! Please!"

Bakura was holding Anzu in his lap, the others surronding him. All of them had tense looks on their faces, even Kaiba. Elecktra swallowed hard and closed her eyes, not even noticing Demetriou come up from behind her with a knife. Marik however noticed and took the rod and stabbed him in the throat. Demetriou gasped and his eyes rolled back into this head. Yami nodded towards Marik and looked back at Anzu, taking her other hand.

"Maybe harboring Gaea was too much for her to withstand Bakura." He told the thief king gently. Bakura growled and shoved Yami away. "I don't believe you! She's stronger than that! She'll live!"

Everyone else nodded and waited for something to happen. Nothing happened and Elecktra shook her head, tears coming out of her eyes. Bakura felt a strange emotion build up inside him, like the one when Anzu had almost killed herself. He leaned down on her face and kissed her nose. "Come back to me baby, come back..."

"Bakura...you're squishing me."

Bakura looked up to see Anzu staring at him loveingly. He grinned and kissed her a dozen times until Jounouchi cleared his throat. "This is nice and all, but can we leave?"

Anzu shook her head. "There's something I must tell you all. I found my power."

Yami looked up. "Power? You found it?"

Anzu nodded. "A part of Gaea will always live inside me." Her eyes changed into slits, causing all of them to get creeped out. Elecktra sighed. "Great, now there's just more Anzu to love." Anzu laughed, knowing she meant it in a good natured way. She looked at Bakura. "I think I have the solution to Ryou's problem."

Bakura looked up. "You do?"

Anzu nodded. "Gaea was the mother earth, basically life itself. I have that power now. Come here Bakura."

He put her down and she got up, a bit wobbly, but she was fine. Pressing her hand on his chest, she began to concentrate on Bakura's life force. An old saying she had read from a book crossed her mind. 'The two that are one, the one that is all.' She concentrated hard, pouring some of her own life energy into his. Everyone gasped at what they were seeing. Bakura's spirit materialized from Ryou's body and began to take a solid form, piece by piece. That was the only disgusting part.

And then the next disgusting part was that he was naked. Anzu took a breath and then collapsed into Yami, who supported her gently. Bakura frowned and then went over to one of the dead bodies, taking off their clothes and putting them on himself. Ryou looked at the ring, who still had its powers, but wasn't working for him. Bakura scowled and took the ring from Ryou. "I'll be taking that." he said and then he took Anzu from Yami's arms bridal style and marched out the door, everyone else following with a smile on their faces.


Me:Aww this story is almost done. Owwww braces

Bakura:Stop whining. You'll be fine

Me:But it hurts .

Anzu:Give her a break. Anyway, we'll be back soon, so hold onto your hats, or hair if you don't have hat.
