Its time for the battle to end this damned war. Lets finish this once and for all!

Within the dome, everyone except Jaffa was staring.

"OK, this place is weird!" Susan said.

Everything around them had changed. The grass had gone from green to burning fire.

The overgrowth had become as stone.

The Ruins had changed......they almost looked like they were made from metal now instead of ancient stone.

And the sky had changed to the shifting shades of grey, white and black, with black and white lightning bolts firing onto the ground.

"Really? I hadn't noticed." Jaffa said, in that icy tone of his.

"Ooh. The place bringing up a lot of bad memories?" asked Ali before Jaffa punched him in the face.

"Sorry. Don't know my own strength in this form yet......plus you did deserve it."

"Fine, I'll go with that. Now then, where is Twilight?" Ali asked.

"I'm right here." a voice said from all around them.

"Great. Twilight is the dome." Susan said.

"Not quite my dear........I am standing in front of you. Meet me at the top of the Ruins."

"Anyone else smelling a trap, or is that just me?" asked Ali.

"If Twilight was going to spring a trap, he would have done it the minute we entered the dome and you lot stood around gazing at the scenery." Jaffa said. "No, he's up to something else.......be ready."

They all flew slowly towards the now metallic Ruins.

"Oh please, I know you can move faster than that." Twilight's voice boomed around them again.

They all suddenly surged forward.

"Waaah! What's going on?" Susan yelled.

"Yup, Twilight's definitely a guy!" Jasmine replied.

"What makes you say that?" asked Burdok.

"He's showing off that he can do anything in here." Jasmine answered as if it was obvious.

Jaffa just flew even faster, letting Twilight's little nudge propel him even faster.

"All right, enough!" Jaffa said.

He spread his four wings out wide in a flurry of feathers.

Everyone stopped hurtling forward.

"How did you do that?" asked Ali.

"He was making the wind propel us forward.....so I stopped the wind." Jaffa shrugged.

"Aw. And I was enjoying myself." Twilight chuckled.

"Enough of these games Twilight. Show yourself so we can end this once and for all." Stuart yelled.

"No need to yell. I'm right here." Twilight said, appearing right in front of them.

All they saw was a hunched over old man, in a grey robe. Holding a walking stick.

"Oh please. Enough with the disguises." Burdok said.

"Fine. You lot are no fun at all...........I thought you mortals were supposed to be entertaining." Twilight muttered.

He straightened himself, lost the wrinkles, but he kept the walking stick.

"I'm sorry, but we're not here to entertain you. If you want entertainment, get a TV." Ali said.

Twilight just shook his head.

"You don't even realise the trap you've fallen for...............Gaia, you're getting sloppy in your choices."

"What trap?" Susan asked.

"The one that the whole world.....nay, the universe has just fallen into. And it's all thanks to you six." Twilight said pointing at all six of them.

"Care to explain that one?" asked Burdok.

"It's simple really. I couldn't employ my plan to bring about a new order, until I had restored my power. When I sensed you six unleashing your marks, I realised I could use that power to augment my own."

He then gestured at the dome around them.

"So I constructed this. This dome, even as we speak, is siphoning energy from you, and channeling it throughout the universe.......freezing time."

"Hold up.....you've frozen time? How is that possible?" asked Susan.

"Well, not time exactly. That's impossible. More like the rotation of every single star and planet in the universe. But it sounds more impressive if you say 'stopped time'." Twilight admitted.

"Definitely a guy." Jasmine muttered.

"Ok, go back to the part about a new order......you want to extinguish all life from the universe. So how is that a new order?" asked Stuart.

"Its really simple. Once this flawed universe is dead and barren.......I will reanimate the bacteria from all over the universe. Thereby starting the process of life once more." Twilight said.

"Flawed Universe? In what way is this universe flawed?" Ali asked.

"It's flawed because its been tampered with, far too many times." Twilight started.

"Change is inevitable!" Gaia interrupted.

"You be quiet! It is because of you that this universe needs to be cleansed!" Twilight roared. "Now where was I? Oh yes."

"Gaia had tampered with life on so many worlds that the balance of the universe became.....unbalanced. You've all learned your planet's history of mankind haven't you? All those wars, deaths, chaos...........all that because Gaia accidentally created your species."

"So humanity was an accident?" Susan asked.

"Indeed. Your ancestors understood the delicate balance of nature and tried to preserve it, but your very nature makes that an impossibility. Your species should not even exist. Gaia, could not just let the universe take its natural course of life."

"So she accelerated your primeval ancestors, instilled in them a need for growth, a need that in your primitive minds was only accomplishable by killing anything that stood in your way. And she has done this experiment of hers, a million times over, on a million different worlds. And all of you at the same time, are beginning to stretch out beyond your planet. Now then, imagine what will occur when one or more of these aliens were to meet?" Twilight asked.

"I'll tell you what. It would result in galactic chaos! Humanity, and all those other races.......all of you mortals have this insane thirst for violence and destruction. I think it's because it was destruction that brought your species into existence." Twilight mused.

"Destruction did not bring us into existence." Susan argued. "If we were only capable of destruction, then explain how civilisation could exist?"

"Ha. What you mortals call civilisation, is nothing more than a congregation of chaos. Look at your 'civilisation'." Twilight said waving his hand.

A view of Neo Domino City appeared, then each of the capital cites of the world.

"In each of your cites, crime, lust, chaos ensues. Your very society, is one based on destruction. It is mankind's ultimate weakness. But that is irrelevant. You six will try and stop me nonetheless." he sighed making the images fade away.

"Let me tell you this however. Even if you six are able to stop me.........the future will not be changed. It will only be delayed by two decades at the outside guess."

"Explain." Jaffa said.

"I assume Gaia informed you about the power out there that is constantly seeking out new warriors?"

They all nodded.

"Well, I wield the powers of light and shadow, as you also know. What you don't know is that this combination of power, allows me to catch glimpses of the future. And all I can see for the future, is a cosmos consumed in flames. Even if you defeat me, none of you will be able to save yourselves, because you no longer possess the magic or the means to seal your souls away. This entity, it will seek you out one by one. And it will transform you, mold you into its soldiers. And then you will ride out and destroy the universe in its name." Twilight stated.

"Sorry. But I don't buy that bull." Burdok said. "There's always a third option."

"Yes. Even if you were to be defeated then.....this entity would only convert the ones who defeated you...and so on and so on, until it wins. Eventually, no matter how long it would take, this universe would be destroyed."

"What I propose is to destroy this universe, so that new life can take root. Life that this being will not be able to use for countless millenia, effectively keeping it imprisoned and powerless for all time. Because I will broker no interference in this new universe's evolution." Twilight said emotionally.

"Consider it. You six will become immortal as well. I will need beings to channel the energies that will aid in the new cosmos' birth. The powers of Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Darkness, Light, Power, Magic, and Celestial, must never be lost."

"Under my protection, you will be untouchable by this entity." Twilight finished.

Everyone looked at each other, except Jaffa who was still staring at Twilight.

"What about the people who already exist here? What about their souls?" he asked.

"Well, their physical bodies would be vaporised of course. As for their souls.........I guess they'll have to be destroyed in order that the entity cannot consume them." Twilight said. "Starting the new universe with a clean slate."

Jaffa just stared at him, then clenched his fist.

"Dude?" asked Ali.

"You would just destroy them? Without even blinking? Or giving a second thought to the matter?" Jaffa growled.

"Uh-oh. Guys, we better get to a safe distance." Ali said.

"Why?" asked Susan.

"Well, you know how I told you guys about that time Jaffa almost killed me when we were kids? This is kinda how it started." Ali said, starting to fly away.

"You would callously, destroy every single being in this universe without even giving them a chance?" Jaffa continued. He was now glowing with a dark green light.

"Jaffa, what are you doing?" Sindor asked inside his head.

"Time for you to pay rent." Jaffa replied.

"Argh!" Sindor yelled as Jaffa plunged his hand into Sindor's chest, drawing his energy into himself.

"You would kill every thing, just because you caught a glimpse of a possible future that may not even happen?" Jaffa growled.

Twilight began to frown.

"This can't be right........why do I sense more power coming from you now than before? Where is it coming from?" he asked.

Gaia looked on in horror.

"Oh no........not now..."

"What's going on?" Jasmine asked.

Just then, the air around Jaffa burst into a tornado of dark green energy.

"It's the darkness within him....it's taken hold!" Gaia yelled over the noise of the wind.

"I think it's something else Gaia." Ali yelled back. "I think he's gone berserk, I mean truly gone berserk. Darkness has nothing to do with it."

"That can't be! No mortal can have that much power inside them, not without having utilised dark powers!" Gaia argued.

"He's got Sindor in his head remember? That's pretty much all his anger and shit all stuck together in one body and form. Waiting to be unlocked. He's not one person, he's two. So he's got double the power. And he's just unlocked it." Stuart replied.

Twilight stared at the person in front of him.

"Wha...what are you?!" he yelled.

Jaffa looked up, his eyes gone completely amber and feral.

"I'm your worst nightmare. I won't allow you to destroy all those lives....not now, not ever!!" Jaffa roared as he dove at Twilight, splitting his weapon into two.

Twilight raised his cane, and transformed it into a sword of his own, and just blocked Jaffa's first strike.

It sent a shiver down his arm.

"Impossible." he muttered.

Jaffa just grinned, and then sent a flurry of attacks at Twilight, trying to land a blow on him.

Twilight blocked every attack sent his way, each one sending a shudder down his arm from the impact.

"And in their hour of need, he sent forth unto them, the Berserker Rage, now gods and men, they rose up from the ground, screaming like wild animals. Such is the gift of absolute power. No blade or weapon could harm them, and all who stood before them died that day. Hail Gods of War." Ali muttered.

"Isn't that the ending lyric or something to that band Manowar's song, Sons of Odin?" asked Burdok.

"Yeah, but I think it suits the situation, don't you?" asked Jasmine pointing at the battle in front of them.

Jaffa was still a flurry of attacks that were increasing in their speed.

"We can't let him have all the fun." Burdok said, readying his two Buster Swords.

Ali placed his arm in front of him.

"You don't want to go in there. I've never seen Jaffa like this. Its like very single ounce of anger and rage is being put into each of his attacks. He's not even aware of what's going on. He's pretty much on auto-pilot. You go in there now, he might just turn on you next." Ali warned.

"So what do we do?" Burdok asked.

"We just have to wait for Jaffa to snap out of it. Hopefully before its too late." Stuart replied.

"Or wait for him to tire out enough that he can't attack us when we try to help him." Susan said.

"Oh this is good. This ones rage I can use.........that's one of my elite warriors right there." the dark being said in the flaming cavern.

"Now then, what about the rest of you? Will you show me as much power as this one?" it mused.

An hour of watching later, Jaffa backed off from Twilight, visibly tired.

Twilight looked shaken by what had just occurred.

"Not possible.....just not possible......" he kept muttering to himself.

Jaffa hovered there, panting.

Then his eyes suddenly turned back to normal, and his body then shook as if in a fit.

"OK, now we can move in. Susan, you catch Jaffa, the rest of us will deal with Twilight." Stuart said.

They all nodded and flew into the fray.

"What am I supposed to do?" asked Susan.

Kisara's voice spoke in her head.

You have the powers of light, and light is a healing force. So that is your task in this conflict.

Susan just manged to get to Jaffa before he fell from the sky.

She then carried him down to teh ground and gently placed him down.

"OK, here goes nothing." Susan said holding her hands over him.

Meanwhile, Burdok swung both of his swords downwards at Twilight, whilst Jasmine came in from the left, Stuart from the right and Ali shot at Twilight before swinging his blade at him.

Twilight just managed to erect a shield around him before the blades could connect.

"Nice try." he said.

Then the shield exploded, sending the four of them flying in four directions.

"You cannot get fights like this any more." the entity chuckled as it devoured a magically summoned box of popcorn.

"You four almost had me there. But without all six of you attacking me, you can't beat me." Twilight said.

"Any chance we could do what Jaffa just did?" Burdok asked.

"Not a chance. Unless you've actually gone that kind of berserk before, I don't think any of us here have any chance of unlocking that Rage." Ali replied.

"Well then, we've just got to find another way of fighting this guy. The marks brought out these weapons, maybe they could give us different ones. This is Twilight's game. We've got to find a way of beating him another way." Jasmine said.

"Well we can't exactly challenge him to a game of cards." Burdok replied, dodging a blast that Twilight sent at him.

"No.....actually, maybe we can! What was Duel Monsters before it was a card game?" asked Jasmine.

"The whole stone tablet thing? You serious?" asked Ali.

"What did the Ancient Duelists use back then?" Jasmine asked again.

"A really ancient Duel Disk, the DiaDhank......but each monster summoned drained a portion of the summoner's life force." Stuart explained.

"Like we've got a choice?" Jasmine asked, dodging a thrust from Twilight.

"Not really." Stuart replied.

They all grouped back together away from Twilight and focused on their weapons.

Their weapons glowed and transformed into the ancient golden winged device.

They all clamped in onto their left arm, and activated them.

"Now you're in for it." Jasmine said, her eyes glowing red.

"I call forth Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!" she called out.

A light lit up in one of the zones on the wing, and then an ancient hieroglyph appeared.

There was a burst of light and then the orange lined, black dragon appeared behind her.

"All right it works!" Ali exclaimed, as Jasmine flew onto the dragon's back.

"Come forth Trident Dragon!" Burdok called.

"Come forth.........God's Soldier Yago!" Stuart called after a brief moment when his face had gone vacant.

"That's a new one." Burdok muttered.

His three headed dragon appeared behind him in a flash of light and roared at Twilight.

Burdok jumped up and landed on the dragon's middle head.

Meanwhile a soft beam appeared behind Stuart and the woman in paladin armour from before appeared in it.

"So I'm guessing your name is Yago." Stuart said.

"Indeed. I forsee that together we will be able to defeat this monster." she replied.

"I call forth Ancient God Flamvell!" Ali called.

From out of the ground erupted the giant lava monster, which then cooled into a monster of solid stone, and fire.

"What the...? Well that puts a fly in the ointment I must say. He'll be harder to corrupt because of that little paladin." the entity fumed.

Meanwhile, Susan's hands had been glowing with a white light that flowed around Jaffa.

"Unh my head.....what happened?" Jaffa asked.

"Oh good you're awake. No time to explain. You've got to change your blades into that Egyptian thingy, and then call out a monster to help us fight Twilight." Susan said very quickly, whilst she changed her weapon.

"Susan, you may use my true Spirit Form for this battle." Kisara's voice said from the DiaDhank.

"Alright." Susan said.

Jaffa grabbed Susan's arm.

"When she means true form, she doesn't just mean the ordinary Blue Eyes White Dragon ok?" Jaffa told her.

"Gotcha. I call forth Blue Eyes Shining Dragon!" Susan called.

Jaffa quickly changed his weapon into a DiaDhank.

"I call forth Dragunity Knight Gaebolg!" he called.

Two beams of light crashed around them, one green and one blue.

Out of the blue beam erupted a shining dragon, that looked like it was made out of metal.

And from the green one flew out the familiar silver armoured dragon and its rider.

"Jaffa, it is good to see you are well again." Gaebolg said.

"Well may be a relative term Gaebolg. But right now, we have an old friend of yours to beat." Jaffa said hiking his thumb in Twilight's direction.

"Indeed. Climb aboard my dragon. Young Susan, I suggest you do the same with Lady Kisara here."

Kisara nodded her dragon head, and let Susan fly on top of her before soaring towards the others.

Jaffa got onto Gaebolgs dragon and they then flew off to join the others as well.

"About time you woke up." Ali said, standing on Flamvell's shoulder.

"May I?" asked Gaebolg.

Jaffa nodded, no hint of a grin on his face.

Gaebolg swept his lance in Ali's direction, clunking him in the back of his head.

"Ouch!" Ali said, rubbing his head.

Everyone else gave off a slight chortle.

"Now then, let's beat this guy so we can all go back home and save the universe." Kisara said.

"You don't seriously believe that you can defeat me with these pitiful forces do you?" asked Twilight, looking as though he has recovered from the fight he had with Jaffa.

"You're right Twilight, so why don't we bring out the rest of the guys?" asked Burdok. "Come forth XX-Saber Gatmuz!"

An armoured warrior, with a red cloak, and twin-pronged sword appeared.

"Ah it's good to get back in the action." Gatmuz said.

"I call forth Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!" Jaffa declared.

A block of ice appeared, and then it shattered revealing a dark blue, three headed dragon, with ice for armour.

"Ah.......time to put Twilight on ice for good." she hissed.

"Come forth Flamvell Uruquizas!" Ali called.

The warrior with magma and fire for armour appeared on Flamvell's other shoulder.

"So this is your plan. To bring out all these warriors, these past Chosen in some attempt to defeat me.....look at yourselves. The act of summoning these relics has nearly drained you of your energy." Twilight said.

"Now then, I think it's time we showed this blowhard what us mortals can do......everyone attack!" Stuart yelled.

All of the monsters sent out a continuous blast of energy at Twilight, whilst the Six Chosen focused on maintaining them in this world.

Twilight lifted up both of his hands and sent his own blast at the monster's combined blast.

The two energy streams pushed at each other, trying to gain some ground.

"This could go on forever....and these are mortals dealing with an immortal...they'll tire before him. As much as it pains me, I think I better lend a hand."

The entity stood up and then sent out a blast of its own through the viewing portal.

"This should give them enough strength." it said.

At the same time, Gaia decided to lend the Chosen her own strength.

She sent out her own blast to join with the monsters.

With the combined powers of Gaia, the Chosen and this dark entity itself, Twilight realised something as the blast surged back at him.

"I've underestimated these mortals............maybe they can stop the dark one from winning...........mortals are sure full of surprises.......Did I leave the kettle on?"

He was then engulfed in the multi-coloured blast and was vaporised.

"It's over." Gaia said quietly. "Twilight is gone."

Everyone started to return to normal, now that their powers were fading.

"Gone for now, or gone gone?" asked Ali.

"He is no more. There isn't even an atom of his existence left. He will not be returning." Gaia assured everyone.

"Oh good. Now if you don't mind, I think we'll all collapse from sheer exhasution thanking you very much." Jaffa said.

Everyone else nodded then fell unconscious, but not before they were all caught by their respective patrons.

Kisara and Dahaka both smiled at the sisters.

Uruquizas just shook his head in amazement at the amount of bumps on Ali's head.

Gatmuz was chortling like he was Santa Claus.

Trishula and Gaebolg both wondered at what the future held for the six of them.

Whilst Yago just looked sadly at Stuart.

Then a faint image appeared next to Jaffa.

It was Sindor......or at least a ghost of Sindor.

"Ok, first things first....ouch!" he said grasping at the hole in his chest, where Jaffa had plunged his hand.

"What do you want Sindor?" asked Gaia.

"Well, I was wondering........could you maybe stick me into a card please? I don't think Jaffa would very much appreciate having me in his head any longer.....not after all this."

Gaia looked at Sindor thoughtfully.

"Very well I shall place you into your Synchro Card that Dawn and Dusk had created." she said waving her hadn, making Sindor glow and then shrink as he becam a card.

"Now that that's all out of the way, let's get these Chosen back to their home." Gaia suggested.

They all agreed and transported the six of them home.

The next morning, there was a knock at the door.

"Unh....can't a universe saviour get a decent night's sleep around here?" asked Jaffa.

"Seriously I am considering moving. This neighbourhood has brought nothing but trouble." he muttered as he walked over and opened the door.

He then just stared at who was standing at the door.

"Well that's not the welcome I was looking for." said his mother.

"Bu...bu.....Wha....wha.....hunh?!" was all Jaffa could get out.

"This is where you live now? My, my, my. You really need to get a maid or something." Mum said as she walked through the door.

"The first thing you say after coming into my house after having been absorbed by a giant hummingbird, is comment on my cleaning?" Jaffa asked.

Then the rest of the guys shuffled in.

"Unh, who is it?" Burdok asked before staring.

Ali just stared then rubbed his eyes.

Stuart managed to look astonished.

Then Vasha came in from Ali's room.

"What's going on? Who's this?" she asked.

"Um Vasha......ah! Go back in the room and get some clothes on please!" Ali said as he pushed Vasha back into his room.

"That's his girlfriend mum." Jaffa explained.

"Ah, I see he managed to find someone. Now what about you?" she asked.

Before Jaffa could answer the doorbell went off.

As he turned to answer it he silently said thank you.

Then he saw it was Jasmine and Susan at the door. With Jeager.

"Why?" Jaffa asked staring at the sky.

"We saw someone at the door so we thought we'd come over. At the same time, clown boy here popped up and told us that he wanted to talk to all the members of Team Satellite." Jasmine said, with a curious look on her face.

"Why did you say 'why' at the sky just there?" asked Susan.

"You see............my mother just showed up." Jaffa said.

"Wasn't she......you know." Jasmine asked.

"Yeah, but now she's back and she just asked me, if I was seeing someone. Then you rang the doorbell............" Jaffa trailed off.

"Ah. I see how that could result in you asking 'why'." Jasine nodded.

"Yes, yes, very fascinationg, truly but we have business to attend to." Jaeger said barging into the house.

"Jaffa? Why is there a clown in the house?" asked his mother from the living room.

Hope you enjoyed my "final" chapter. If you haven't guessed yet, this fanfic isn't over just yet. We still have some loose ends to tie up. One of which is why Jaeger has shown up.

Keep reading my Fanfic and please review it please.
