The flying fortress began to slowly lose altitude , thus falling back on planet Earth . The last survivors on it were now desperate for their own lives . Kokujo was walking in circles thinking of a way to escape the ship . Tsugumi was panicking once again , but this time no one was giving her confort . Subaru had put Edo's body on the floor and stared at it with his saddened wet eyes . The smile on his red face with dark burns on his cheeks was breaking Subaru's heart . He couldn't stand the simple thought that his friend was dead , let again have his corpse in front of him .

" Edo-kun , you just can't die ! It was I the one which should've been hit by that laser , not you ! " Subaru said and then once again tears fell on Edo's face , this time on his burns . " You've said that this was your contribution for the fall of Rezo , but you could have done much more , Edo-kun ! It will be too hard to go on without a dear friend such as you ! Where will you be when Kokujo-kun will be triumphing against Rezo ? How will you know the joy and pain in our hearts ? Where will you be , my dear friend ? "

" Subaru , let it go... " Kokujo said with a saddened voice and put his hand on Subaru's shoulder . " He ain't coming back , just let it go... "

" I wouldn't be so sure of that ! " a familiar voice spoke .

The three then turned their backs shocked only to see Kokujo's UFO near the flying fortress and doctor Root sitting at its entrance . All of them were extremely happy to see that he had finally come after them to save them .

" Come , kids , we have no time to waste ! " doctor Root called . " And bring Edo's body with you ! "

Subaru fast took Edo's body in his hands and together with Tsugumi and Kokujo jumped off the launch pad and entered the UFO . Doctor Root closed the door as they all entered and the UFO began moving fast in the sky following Tabitha's astral plane .

Meanwhile at the control room of the flying fortress . Xanagazu's body suddenly moved a bit and slowly she got up . It seemed that she had survived even the duel's outcome , but her wounds were terrible . Her armor had many holes and blood was coming out from her chest and stomach . Her helmet was broken and lost its X form and there was some blood coming out even from her head .

Xanagazu walked slowly to the chair on which Rezo sat . She looked around and saw that evreyone was gone . Then she remembered that they all thought she was dead and left the ship . Smiling , she looked around her and then spoke hardly :

" T-these wounds could just heal in one day... I hope . "

Xanagazu then reactivated the flying fortress and stopped it from falling . Now the gigantic ship was once again flying in the sky . Xanagazu looked at the window and admired a couple of birds which were flying free in the sky .

" Now I can fly like them .Where should I go ? What should I do ? I'm free ! " she thought .

The flying fortress flew a few kilometers , but then stopped . Xanagazu didn't have enough energy to make it move anymore . She had drained her strength on that and it also caused the wounds from her chest and stomach to widen and bleed even more .

" D-Damn it... My body won't listen to me . The wounds have widened again . I don't have the power anymore to heal them . " Xanagazu said and put her hands on the wounds hoping to at least slow down the bleeding .

Xanagazu looked around the cold metallic room in which she was . All her life had been exactly like the room was and now , when she finally was free to start a new life , her life was about to end .

" It's quiet... No one is around . This is how my life will end ? "

Then she felt a shadow above her . Xanagazu looked up and saw a flying pyramid near her flying fortress . She got up from her chair and slowly walked to the window and saw that on the top of the pyramid was a boy with blue eyes and long blonde hair which was dressed in a white uniform .

" Impossible , it's him... " Xanagazu said .

The woman walked to the elevator and descended to the flying pad . There she walked slowly and greeted the mysterious boy which jumped off the pyramid and landed in front of her . Xanagazu smiled and said :

" I can't believe it , it's actually you , White ! Where have you been all this time ? I thought you were dead . And why haven't you aged ? "

Xanagazu then couldn't resist anymore and fell on her knees . White stared at her with mercy in his eyes . He knew that she had been through alot and that now this was her pityful end .

" Me and Toto had been turned young once again along with Kokujo , Subaru and Tsugumi . " White answered . " In all this time , I and Toto just stood back and watched evreything that happened in the pyramid . When Rezo sacrificed his powers to change the world after his own will , me and Toto just flew away from the planet with the pyramid and waited until his plan was finished . And even after that we still sat back and watched evreything . This until I've seen what has happened to you... "

" Heh , so you came in order to save me ? Am I really that worth of your pity ? " Xanagazu asked and layed her head down with a sad smile on her face .

" Just because me and Toto had sat back and watched evreything , this doesn't mean that he didn't have strange expeirences as well ! One night Alphadios came to me and restored me the Light Saber saying that it will help me when the moment came . "

White then moved his right hand in the air and a sword made of pure yellow light appeared out of nowhere in it . White pointed his sword at Xanagazu smiling . The Light Saber was the sword which was able to rescue people from death or bring the dead back to life . Obviously that was White's plan , to save Xanagazu . But when he aimed to her , he saw that even more blood was falling from her chest and stomach .

" The wounds are way too deep and her body is damaged too much . The Light Saber cannot save her . " White thought .

" Trying to save me , huh , White ? " Xanagazu asked and raised her head up looking at him . " It's so nice to know that from all the cursed human beings on this planet at least one cared for me once . All my life I've been either despised or used . I was an unwanted baby born prematurely . My parents tried to abort me , but didn't manage to . Obviously they didn't even care of me as a baby . They hired a fat ugly maid to take care of me until I was about six . They never smiled to me even once . All the times they visited me , they either insulted me or beated me up . At the age of nine they sold me to a mad scientist which began making lots of experiments on me . He intended to turn me into the perfect cyborg woman , but he did one mistake . He armed me with this purple armor and different small weapons . When he let me out to test my ability to weild weapons , I killed him and ran away . My sight had been changed due to his experiments and evrey time I looked at a human , I could mind control him or her . But sadly , too much mind controlling lead to terrible headaches , so I stopped using this procedure and started wearing an X helmet . I wandered almost evrey city from China looking for food and trying to survive . Then one day Zakira found me . He asked me if I wanted shelter and a new home and I accepted . That's how I began dueling and made friends .Evreything was perfect until Zakira turned into a power hungry maniac and began to act as if we were his servants . The new Zakira was a real tyrant ! My freedom was then stolen and I tried evreything to get it back , but I just couldn't escape his grasp . You know the rest , White , so I guess I should tell you what happened since Rezo brought me back to life . From the first moment I saw Rezo , I knew that my freedom would once again be taken away from me . All this time I served him with loyalty and I was always fearing that if I would try something suspicious in order to escape he would use his magic and torture me in unbelivable ways . And even now , when he's just a mere human , I still feared him because of Tabitha and Shagrath which were always near him and were always doing what he said . Hell , I even began to take orders from Tabitha ! That was when I realized that even if Rezo was killed I would just become the servant of a new tyrant ! All my life I've always obeyed others willingly or unwillingly . I've never known what was real freedom... until now . "

Xanagazu then stared at the sky behind White . The wind was blowing and birds were flying . She was happy to see them all free and she knew that she would soon become like them . White then spoke to her with a sad tone in his voice :

" Are you leaving ? "

" Yes , that was all . " Xangazu said and raised her head up as the wind blew powerfully on her . " In the end , I at least got to see you , White... "

Xanagazu was blown by the wind and flew towards a wall of her fortress , but her body disssolved in the air before it could even touch the wall . White sighed and then walked back in Toto's pyramid which began to fly away . White was greeted by Toto , which had evreything ready for a party .

" Welcome back , White-sama ! I feel sorry for poor Xanagazu . Was she suffering while she died ? "

" She was smiling... " White spoke with sorrow in his voice . " Let's just go back at our place and watch what Kokujo and the others are doing ! We'll not interfeere until I say so ! "

" As you wish , White-sama . " Toto said and pressed some buttons .

White's pyramid disappeared into the mighty clouds of the sky while Xanagazu's flying fortress fell and crashed on the Earth along with her memory . This was the end of the only servant of Zakira and Rezo which hardly fought to obtain her own freedom .

Meanwhile at Kokujo's UFO . Doctor Root walked with Kokujo , Subaru and Tsugumi to the hospital room of the spaceship . There a surprise awaited Kokujo and the last two chosen duelists . On two beds from that room were sitting Sora and Rad . Their bodies were filled with burns , but they were even worser than Edo's since they were in an explosion .

" What ? Rad and Sora ? But how ? " Kokujo asked .

" When Rezo had triumphed over Rad and Sora , a giant explosion was caused on Rad's rocket . But this doesn't mean that the rocket was completely destroyed . " Root said smiling . " I found the rocket falling and fast caught it and put it inside the UFO . On it were lying these two which were almost dead . I immediately took them to tihs room and connected them to all the revival machines . Now they're stable and I'm trying my best to bring them back . "

" Then , doctor , could you please do the same with Edo-kun ? " Subaru asked while putting Edo's body on a bed .

" Of course I will ! From what I see , his body isn't as damaged as theirs , so he might have more chances of survival . " doctor Root said and began connecting Edo to the revival machines .

Kokujo , Subaru and Tsugumi walked outside the hospital room and waited for doctor Root in the hall . Subaru and Tsugumi looked at the sky from the window while holding eachother's hands . Kokujo , on the other hand , preferred to stare at his deck , especially at his Dorballom card , while waiting for their arrival at Rezo's castle . After 15 minutes , doctor Root came out of the room . Subaru and Tsugumi rushed to him immediately .

" Are our friends ok , doctor ? " Tsugumi asked .

" They are all stable now and free from major dangers . "

" Will they survive ? " Subaru added .

" That depends on them . " Root said with a dark shadow covering his eyes . " I've did evreything that could've been done . Now they have to fight on their own to survive ! "

Kokujo then put his deck back in his pocket and walked to doctor Root . The long haired boy and the doctor stared in eachother's eyes for a few minutes . Then Kokujo nodded and doctor Root turned to Subaru and Tsugumi and spoke :

" In the meantime , you have a mission to accomplish ! "

" Doctor... " Subaru said surprised .

" We can't just slack off while Rezo is taking over the Universe , now can we ? " doctor Root said and began to walk away .

" D-doctor , wait for us ! " Tsugumi said and followed him .

The group walked with doctor Root through the corridors of the UFO until they reached the control room . There doctor Root sat on a chair and pressed some buttons on the keyboard of a computer with a giant screen . The screen then opened and they saw an altitude map on which there were 3 points .

" Ok , kids , this is the altitude map . Here , at the left is our UFO . A little upper , at the right , is Tabitha's astral plane . And on the top of the screen , in space , is Rezo's castle . " doctor Root explained . " Tabitha's astral plane is moving with the speed of at least 2000 kilometers per hour , so it is impossible for this UFO to catch with her . "

" Then how will we catch up with them ? " Subaru asked .

In that moment Kokujo grinned . Doctor Root smiled as well and said :

" We have a trick up our sleeve ! "

" What do you mean , doctor ? " Tsugumi asked .

" When I bought this UFO as a Christmas present for you guys , I was joking around ! " Kokujo said and walked at the computer as well . " This ship's also got fast engines as well ! They're not as fast as Tabitha's plane , but they're still something . " Kokujo continued and then pressed some buttons and the UFO's engines appeared on the screen . " You see , guys , this ship's engines full speed is at 1800 kilometers per hour , but with a little help from doctor Root we managed to grow the limit to 1900 kilometers per hour . "

" Yes , and I also thought of adding some parts of Rad's rocket engines to boost up our speed and... " doctor Root said , but Kokujo intrerrupted him .

" Forget it , doctor , those engines are as good as dead ! What we'll do is making this baby break its own speed limits ! "

" ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND , KOKUJO ? "

" What's the matter , doctor ? "

" If we do this , then the ship will most likely explode because of the engine's pressure ! We can't take such a risk , it's just too dangerous ! "

" But Rad's engines are as good as rusty trash ! This is our last chance , doctor ! Or would you prefer to sit back and watch Rezo winning once again ? "

" Fine , we'll do as you say then . Afterall , if we fail , we're as good as dead ! "

" That's how I like you , doctor ! " Kokujo said smiling . " Subaru , Tsugumi , let's go ! We have a plane to catch ! "

" What do you mean , Kokujo-kun ? " Subaru asked .

" The UFO won't be fast enough to outrun Tabitha's plane . We'll have to get out of the UFO and jump on the plane in a matter of seconds ! "

" But how will we travel to Rezo's castle ? "

" We'll just cling on the plane , that's our only option . " Kokujo said and began walking . " Come , we must be prepared ! "

" I'll announce you when you must jump ! " doctor Root said .

The trio was now heading towards the door through which they entered the UFO in the first place . On the windows they could see the sun setting , bringing once again the dark veil of night upon a world which was cursed by the Red Priest .

" It's gonna get dark outside pretty soon . " Subaru said while walking .

" Don't worry , we'll catch Tabitha's plane before the moon rises ! " Kokujo replied .

" It's not that , Kokujo-kun , I'm more worried about us ! "

" Subaru's right ! By night a witch's powers are much bigger than in daytime ! What if Tabitha has some traps waiting for us ? " Tsugumi said .

" Meh , then we'll have to face evreything they throw at us ! It's simple . "

" I so doubt it , Kokujo-kun... " Subaru replied sweating .

The three duelists then stopped in front of a metallic door which also had two windows . They could now see the coulds moving faster in the sky meaning that the UFO had increased its speed . Doctor Root was doing what Kokujo had told him . He was trying to make the UFO pass its own speed limit and reach 2000 kilometers per hour . Kokujo , Subaru and Tsugumi had their hearts pounding faster and faster while they were waiting for the UFO to catch up with Tabitha's plane . The tension was so high and they weren't even sure if they would jump as far as to catch the plane . If they even missed it , they would've suffered a terrible death by an abysal fall back on the planet .

Doctor Root was also looking at the altitude map while increasing the UFO's speed . They were now approaching Tabitha's plane . Doctor Root then took a microphone and spoke to Kokujo , Subaru and Tsugumi through the speakers :

" We're almost there , kids . You may open the doors and get ready to jump , but jump only when I tell you to ! "

" Ok , guys , this is it , the moment we've all been waiting for ! " Kokujo said and looked into Subaru's and Tsugumi's eyes .

" Don't worry , we're gonna make it ! " Subaru said .

" Yeah , we'll defeat Rezo for sure this time ! " Tsugumi added .

The three nodded and then Kokujo opened the door . A powerful wind blew against them , but they weren't scared . The wind was the cause of the UFO's speed . Kokujo then took his head out of the spaceship and vaguely saw an astral plane moving fast towards the exosphere . He then put his head back in the UFO and spoke to Subaru and Tsugumi :

" The plane's closer than we even imagined ! If this baby manages to defeat its limits , we'll be able to jump ! "

The UFO was now at its maximum speed of 1900 kilometers per hour . Doctor Root was sweating while pressing buttons on the computer . He was about to quit evreything because he was scared that the ship would blow up . Then Kokujo's words struck his mind and that was what gave him courage . The doctor put his hand on a black level and stared at the screen which showed the UFO's speed .

" It's now or never... AAAARGH , FLY , BABY , FLY ! " doctor Root shouted and pulled the lever .

The UFO's speed increased even more . It finally managed to pass its own limits and had reached 2000 kilometers per hour . In a few seconds it reached Tabitha's astral plane . Rezo and Tabitha both got shocked when they saw the UFO with Kokujo , Subaru and Tsugumi in it .

" Impossible ! How can they still be alive ? " Rezo said scared .

" Forget about that , the problem is what are they doing here ? " Tabitha replied .

Kokujo gave them an evil smile which scared them both . Then the long haired boy jumped from the UFO and landed on the left wing of Tabitha's plane . Subaru and Tsugumi did the same and also landed on that wing . All of them stood like sticked with super glue on that wing so that they wouldn't fall while the plane was flying . Tabitha then opened the plane's window and created a lazor ball in her hand .

" Hehe , nice view , right , Tabby ? " Kokujo said sweating .

" It sure is a nice view , Kokujo . Of you falling in the abyss of hell that is ! " Tabitha said and aimed her ball towards them .

Tabitha then threw the lazor ball and Tsugumi screamed . Evreyone that that was their end , but then something happened . A lazor came from the UFO and destroyed Tabitha's lazor ball . The blonde witch then turned angry at the spaceship and spoke :

"Grr... Root ! "

" You got that right , Tabitha ! " doctor Root spoke through the speakers . " You won't be able to harm those kids while I'm here ! And don't you even dare to attack me , because this UFO is equipped with the worst lazor guns humanity had ever seen ! "

" Tsh , then I see I have no other choice but to bring them with us to the castle . "

" Are you nuts ? " Rezo asked shocked .

" Don't worry , I have a plan ! " Tabitha whispered and then went back to piloting the plane .

Tabitha's plane kept flying , now with the trio on its left wing , towards their destination . In a few minutes they had finally reached Rezo's castle from space . Kokujo , Subaru and Tsugumi had managed to put their air masks fast on their faces so that they wouldn't die in space due to the lack of air .

" I can't believe it , that thing is actually in space ! " Tsugumi spoke amazed .

" With the Proof of Duelmaster's power what can you expect ? " Kokujo replied .

Tabitha then put an evil grin on her face . The witch pressed a button and her astral plane flew even faster than Root's UFO . In a couple of seconds Tabitha's plane entered Rezo's castle . Doctor Root stared shocked at what was going on .

" Darn , I knew I shouldn't have trusted that witch ! " doctor Root said and began pressing buttons . " If I must , I'll blow up the whole castle in order to save those kids ! "

Then a giant purple barrier in the for of a sphere appeared around the whole castle . Obviously it was made by Tabitha in order to protect the castle from doctor Root's attacks . The doctor then stopped from pressing the buttons and walked back to the hospital room where Rad , Sora and Edo were still lying unconcious .

" This is it , the final battle has officially begun ! " doctor Root said . " May God help us all ! "

Once they entered Rezo's castle , Kokujo , Subaru and Tsugumi jumped off Tabitha's plane fast and ran into the first dark corridor they could find . Tabitha's plane landed safely in a parking area where she and Rezo were greeted by Shagrath , Ichiro , Hanna .

" Welcome back , Lord Rezo ! " the three minions spoke and bowed .

" Let's all go back in my throne room ! I have a couple of orders to give to you ! " Rezo said and began walking .

Tabitha used her magic and easily lifted and transported all the gold and motor oil with them in Rezo's throne room . There the Red Priest sat once again on his throne and watched Tabitha and Shagrath preparing more magic circles , spell books and ingredients for the spell he had waited for so long to be casted . Then the Red Priest turned his attention towards Ichiro and Hanna .

" Ichiro . "

" Yes , Lord Rezo ? "

" Your father along with the chosen darkness and light duelists are right now in this castle ! "

" WHAT ? " Ichiro shouted .

" You desire revenge , right , Ichiro ? " Rezo asked smiling .

" More than anything else ! "

That was when Rezo took out his scepter which had the Proof of Duelmaster on it . The blue jem began to shine as the Red Priest used its power to create a magical mirror through which Ichiro saw Kokjo walking through the castle's corridors along with Subaru and Tsugumi .

" Father ! " Ichiro spoke with hate and malice in his voice .

" The path is splitting in two at the end of that corridor . Both paths will lead them to the throne chamber , but one is shorter and the other is longer . Let's see on which path will Kokujo go . " Rezo said .

As the Red Priest said , the trio had reached the point where the corridor was splitting in two . They stood there a few minutes thinking how to make the best split and the conciquences which would result of that splitting . Kokujo thought that it would be better if he went alone , because he was used to it . Also , Subaru and Tsuugmi worked much better as a team . So they decided that Kokujo would go all by himself on the left side while Subaru and Tsugumi would go together on the right side .

" Yes ! Kokujo went on the shorter way ! " Rezo exclaimed . " Ichiro , get ready , because soon you're gonna face your father ! "

" Yes , Lord Rezo ! " Ichiro said and walked towards a corner of the room .

Hanna stared at Ichiro with sadness in her sight . She knew that with that , Rezo had awaken in Ichiro a flame which had disappeared from his heart as he and the rest left on Earth . While she and Ichiro were bossing around in the castle , she had known Ichiro's other side . He was a kind and gentle boy which loved nothing but to boss around , slack off and duel . Now he had to face his own father once again only for revenge . She would've wanted to go to Rezo and ask him to stop all that , but then she remembered that it was all a part of Rezo's plot , so she stopped .

" Ichiro... why must you suffer like this under Lord Rezo ? I wish I could somehow heal your pain . " Hanna whispered and secretly wiped off the tears from her eyes .

Rezo then got up from his throne and walked to Tabitha and Shagrath which were still preparing evreything for the grand spell . The Red Priest stopped in front of the two and spoke :

" A great battle will begin here soon . How about you guys move your whole ritual objects somewhere else ? "

" Good idea ! " Tabitha said . " You'll find us on the roof if you need us ! "

Suddenly Tabitha and Shagrath disappeared into thin air with all the magic circles , spell books , bowls , ingredients , gold and oil . Rezo then walked back to his throne and sat on it thinking .

" Once Tabitha and Shagrath finish casting that spell , I will get my powers back and then with the power of the Proof , I will become a force of nature ! My powers will be like those of a demi-god and no one will possibly stop me ! And soon , very soon , I will conquer the whole Universe and reing over it forever ! Hehehehe , nothing shall stand in my way ! "

Hanna sighed and walked away from the throne room . She just couldn't stand watching Ichiro doing the will of the Red Priest when she knew that the boy did have a heart . The blue haired girl climbed the stairs towards the roof of the castle .There Tabitha and Shagrath were still preparing the things for the spell which would restore Rezo's powers . Tabitha was the first to notice Hanna reaching the roof and walking towards them with a saddened face .

" What's happened , dear ? " the witch asked .

" Oh , nothing , I just wanted to come and help you guys get the whole thing ready . " Hanna replied .

That was when Tabitha and Shagrath both senced something . It was a force of the good which was so strong that it would stop them from casting the spell . Tabitha then decided that Hanna would become useful by preparing their ritual while they were gone to destroy that force .

" We have to go and take care of something , so you can help us by getting the stuff ready , dear ! " Tabitha said and gave Hanna a list with what she had to do . " Don't forget , the magic circles must have all the signs I drew on the back of the list and the twelve zodiac signs ! "

" O-ok ? " Hanna said sweating .

" Come , Shagrath , we have a force of good to crush ! "

" It's them , right , Tabitha ? "

" Yes , Shagrath , that goodie-two-shoes couple , Subaru and Tsugumi ! "

Tabitha and Shagrath then disappeared into thin air leaving Hanna to continue their ritual preparing .

Meanwhile at Subaru and Tsugumi . The two kept walking through the corridor which was barely lighted by some torches . The corridor was discusting them the more they walked on it . The bricks were of a dark green color which gave a tone of insecurance . The windows were either filled with dust or broken . And there were even human skulls on the floor ! It seemed as if no one even lived in that castle . The truth was that since Ichiro and Hanna were in charge of the castle , the maids only had to serve them and didn't give a damn of the castle .

" What a creepy place ! " Subaru said .

" You can say that again ! " Tsugumi replied .

" Wait , someone's coming ! "

Subaru stood in front of Tsugumi and both stared at the darkness which was in front of them . They were hearing footsteps and could sence an utterly evil presence approaching . Then in the next moment a hand appeared out of that darkness and caught Subaru by his neck . The hand pushed the black haired boy against the wall . Tsugumi watched the whole even horrified and then turned her head and saw Shagrath coming out of the darkness . The hand which was holding Subaru's neck obviously belonged to him .

" What an unfortunate thing that you have to face me and my supernatural powers ! " Shagrath spoke to Subaru smiling . " Soon we will add the final piece to our puzzle and then you brats and the whole world as you know it will be ours ! "

Then Tabitha also appeared out of the darkness with a smile on her old witch face . The blonde witch then waved her hands , and to Tsugumi's and Subaru's shock , she created a cage in which Subaru was caught while he was still strangled by Shagrath's hand .

" At long last you two are at our mercy ! " Tabitha said smiling . " For too long has your love stood against our evil ! Now it is time to put an end to it AND UNLEASH ALL THE UNLIMITED EVIL THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN , HAHAHAHA ! "

" I guess that it is time for me to get rid the world of you once and for all ! " Shagrath said and entered the cage .

Subaru trembled as Shagrath let go of his neck and stood in front of him . The evil black metal demon then jumped on Subaru and in front of Tsugumi's eyes bit his stomach . Subaru screamed out his pain while Shagrath was pouring the venom from his teeth inside his stomach and practically his own body .

" No , you're hurting him ! Stop it ! " Tsugumi yelled and ran towards the cage .

Shagrath then let go of Subaru , which fell on the floor almost paralysed , and turned towards Tsugumi . The demon then spat fire from his mouth towards the girl . Tsugumi stopped running believing that that was her end , but then a shiny golden aura appeared around her and protected her from Shagrath's hellish flames .

" Tsh , her love is begining to awake her heavenly powers once again . " Tabitha spoke discusted . " It's no use , Shagrath , you can't hurt her ! "

" Hehehe , like that matters . I have injected a large quantity of poison in Subaru ! His whole body has already started to paralyse ! In a few hours he will paralyse to his own death and that will be the end of the chosen darkness duelist , hahahaha ! " Shagrath said laughing .

Tsugumi then ran to the cage and tried to break up the bars with her own strength . But her strength wasn't enough , because that was a magic cage created by Tabitha's wicked evil powers . Subaru wasn't completely paralysed and could see his love fighting to free him . The black haired boy then spoke to Tsugumi saying :

" Tsugumi , save yourself... "

" No chance ! " the girl replied .

" I'm serious , it's too late for me ! "

" I'm not leaving here without you , no way ! "

Subaru then noticed two tears falling from Tsugumi's eyes . Those tears touched the metallic bars and the cage slowly began to disappear . Shagrath and Tabitha watched the whole thing terrified .

" How can a mere mortal make your magical cage disappear ? " Shagrath asked Tabitha .

" She's not a mere mortal , Shagrath ! She has inherited powers from her ancestors , heavenly powers which can activate only when she knows the love of a man , powers which can defeat mine ! " Tabitha said and spitted on the floor . " Curse this girl ! "

Tsugumi took Subaru in her arms fast and ran away from the two . She kept running through that cold corridor with the boy which she loved dying in her hands and with a big pain in her heart . She didn't knew where to go , what to do or how to get out of that mess . She only knew that she had to be far away from Tabitha and Shagrath .

That was when she got pulled inside a room by someone . She was about to scream , but then she saw that inside that room were only normal wemen dressed as household maids .

" Who are you ? " Tsugumi asked .

" We're the maids of this castle . " said a girl with her hair brown and arranged as a pony tail and which was wearing a black dress with a white short on it . " My name is Mizuna . You must be the chosen light duelist ,Tsugumi , right ? "

" Um... yeah , it's me . "

" I was between the few maids which stood awake and heard your cries when Rezo killed you back then . He's become an extremely merciless man ! "

" You can say that again... Anyway , could you find a way to save Subaru ? "

Tsugumi layed Subaru on the floor and took his hand in hers . She was shocked to see that it was freezing .

" Oh no , he's freezing ! " Tsugumi said and began to shake Subaru's body . " Subaru , you have to stay with us ! Say something ! Can you hear me ? "

" Don't worry , we'll do our best to heal him ! " Mizuna said and then turned to her fellow maids . " Girls , this guy needs medical treatment ! Hurry , we can't afford to lose him ! "

The maids gathered around Subaru with lots of medical bags . Each of them took out some new healing technology . They had used electric shockers to revive his heart , automatic operators to close the wound in his stomach , special needles to suck out a big part of the poison from his body and bandages made from a special material to heal the rib fractures which he got when Shagrath had forced him against the wall .

In the meantime , Tsugumi and Mizuna were chatting while waiting for Subaru to be healed .

" So , Mizuna , how did you get into Rezo's service ? "

" We were all special trained maids from the Neo Japan hotel from Tokyo . Many weeks before Rezo began his conquest for world domination , we were visited by the Red Priest . He had offered us a place as servants in his castle , but he didn't offer us payment . He had told us that being in the service of a world ruler was enough . Obviously we all refused his offer , but he then teleported us all with our equpment to his castle and forced us to serve him . In time he had also brought his so called vassals to serve as his personal soldiers . The vassals were just a bunch of no-good slackers which only knew how to duel good . They were nothing compared with us ! When Rezo had recreated the world and left back to the planet , we were left to serve Ichiro and Hanna . The good thing was that they were not acting as tyrants with us . No , they treated us much better and the only things we had to do was serve them and clean their mess ! They never asked us for a fully clean castle , nor for polished armors or stuff like that . Hell , they even gave us the freedom to sleep in the vassal's or Xanagazu's rooms ! Evreything was perfect until Rezo had returned to the castle ! Now he had ordered us to stay locked in this room until he said that we may leave . I don't know about the others , but I think that I'm gonna change sides here ! You , Subaru and Kokujo have the power to defeat Rezo , I know it ! So , what do you say , Tsugumi , will you accept our help ? "

" Your story was amazing , Mizuna-san , but I'm afraid that I'll have to reject your help ! " Tsugumi said . " Don't take it personal , I'd love to have you girls fight be our side , but here there are magic powers in stake and no normal humans should fool with magic ! "

" You speak as if you're not normal , Tsugumi-chan . "

" No , I'm not normal , Mizuna-san ! When me and Subaru share our love , something beyond anyone's expectations happens ! I don't know exactly what's that something , but I feel that it's a power which can defeat Rezo and his minions if used right ! "

" I so hope that you speak the truth , Tsugumi-chan . "

The other maids then called Tsugumi and Mizuna . The two walked back to them and saw a shirtless Subaru which had his stomach and the left side of his chest bandaged .

" We've done evreything we can . His survival will depend on his own strength from this point ! "

" Thanks , girls ! " Mizuna said and then turned to Tsugumi . " Go and stay with him ! He now needs you more than ever ! "

The maids then retreated to her beds and began to rest . All that work for healing Subaru had exhausted them .

Tsugumi sat on her kness near Subaru . The boy was breathing hard and his face was covered with sweat . Tsugumi searched her pockets and took out a pink handkerchief . With it she wiped off the sweat from Subaru's forehead and that was when Subaru finally opened his eyes . Tsugumi retreated her hand fast and said :

" Sorry , I didn't wake you up , did I ? "

" No... " Subaru said and turned his head the other way . " Tsugumi , tell me something . Were you crying ? "

" Back at the hall ? Yes , because I thought I was going to lose you , I thought you were gonna die ! "

" You shed tears for me... cried for me... Tsugumi , if it's not too much trouble , may I lie on your lap ? "

" Huh ? Okay... "

All the maids were now sleeping . Subaru and Tsugumi were the only ones awake . The night was hiding their intimate moment from the rest . Subaru was resting with his head on Tsugumi's lap while the girl was rubbing his hair gently .

" How are you feeling ? Better than before ? " Tsugumi asked .

" Yes . Tsugumi , your scent is beautiful and your body is so warm . I would love to stay like this forever . " Subaru said with tenderness in his voice .

" Subaru , I... "

Tsugumi then noticed that Subaru had fallen asleep . It seemed that the boy had finally got rid of the poison and was now resting his body in order to recover . Tsugumi then spoke in her mind in order to not wake anyone up :

" Subaru , you've been through a lot . You've fought for your friends , for the world and for me . You have suffered so much instead of others and always sacrificed yourself for them . My love , your suffering will end here ! From now on I will fight for you ! Yes , I will fight against Rezo and his minions ! For your , no , for our sake ! "

That was when the doors of the room blew up . Tsugumi pulled Subaru with her close to the maid's beds . All the maids woke up and were shocked to see that Tabitha and Shagrath had found the lace where Tsugumi was hiding with Subaru .

" Well , would you look at this . The maids are conspiring with the chosen duelists against Lord Rezo ! " Shagrath said smiling .

" All this time when Rezo gave you a shelter , that's how you repay him ? " Tabitha spoke angrily .

" Like we even asked for this shelter . He made us come here against our own will ! " Mizuna replied . " Tell your 'Lord' Rezo that we're not serving him anymore ! "

" Ungrateful girl ! After I'm done with these two , you're next ! " Tabitha said and approached Tsugumi .

Tsugumi sorrounded Subaru with her arms trying to protect him . She gave Tabitha a gaze filled with hate , but the witch didn't care .

" Don't you even dare come close to him ! Do you hear me ? " Tsugumi said .

" Heh , it seems that your powers won't save you anymore , girly ! " Tabitha replied . " It's time to finish you both once and for all ! "

Suddenly , to evreyone's shock , Subaru got up on his own . The black haired boy then turned to Tabitha and Shagrath and revealed one of the scariest faces he had ever made . His eyes were shining with the desire of blood revenge , his teeth were almost harp and the grin on his face was making him look almost as if he was a demon !

" Subaru ! " Tsugumi exclaimed happily .

" Did you really think that your pathetic venom can kill me ? ANSWER ME THAT , SHAGRATH ! " Subaru shouted and stared at Shagrath with psycho like eyes .

" W-what's gotten into him ? " Shagrath asked sweating . " Has the poison gotten to his head or what ? "

" And you , Tabitha , did you really think that your pathetic magic tricks can stand against me and my dear Tsugumi ? " Subaru continued and now was staring at the witch with his psycho eyes . " If you want , I'll show you a REAL magic trick ! "

" Uh oh , I really don't know what's gotten into him , Shagrath ! " Tabitha said sweating as well . " Tsugumi was supposed to have heavenly powers , not her lover ! He's only supposed to stimulate her and... "

" Heh , do you think that I need that to get rid of you ? " Subaru asked and approached the two , still staring at them with his psycho face . " I'll just TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB WITH MY BARE HANDS ! "

Tabitha and Shagrath then yelled and ran away scared . Subaru chased them a bit , but then stopped and returned to the maid's room . All the girls were staring at him .

" Subaru , what's gotten into you ? " Tsugumi asked .

" Oh , nothing , I just played a little psycho to scare those creeps away ! " Subaru replied . " I must say , it worked out pretty well , hehehe... "

" Hahahaha , you're a good actor , Subaru-kun ! " Mizuna laughed . " Ok , guys , if there's anything we can do to help you... "

" Yes , go ! Run away from here as fast as you can ! "

" But , Subaru-kun , we're in space ! How do you expect us to escape the castle ? "

" Mizuna-san , you and the other maids have to run around the castle until you see a UFO . When you see it , signal it and it will come to you . There's a friend there which will help you all . "

" Ok , Tsugumi-chan . "

The maids then packed up all their stuff and got ready to leave . But before they left , they bowed to Subaru and Tsugumi and thanked them for all they had done for them .

The couple then continued its journey to Rezo's throne chamber . After a few minutes , Tabitha and Shagrath appeared once again in their way .

" How long do you think that we'd be fooled by you and your acting ? " Tabitha spoke frustrated .

" I must admit , you got me there , kid . " Shagrath added . " But now it's time for us to finish you once and for all ! "

" Just try ! " Tsugumi said and took Subaru's hand in hers . " The power of our love will destroy all your pathetic attempts to destroy us ! "

" Grr... she' right ! " Tabitha said . " Fine , then we have one option left . "

" As if we didn't know . " Subaru replied .

They all took out their decks and four dueling tables appeared from the floor . They put their decks on them , raised their five shields , drew their five cards and thus the double duel began . It was Tsugumi VS Tabitha and Shagrath VS Subaru .

" I summon Bloody Squito ! " Tabitha said .

" I summon Endra Pappi ! " Tsugumi said .

" I summon Inaba Geeze , the Explosive ! "

" I summon Ultimus , Spirit of Divine Law and draw a card thanks to Endra Pappi ! "

" Heh , I summon God Gut ! With God Gut's ability I'll discard Space-Time Man and take Mad Romanoff , the Wicked God from my deck to my hand ! "

" Don't be too overconfident , Tabitha ! I summon Petrova , Channeler of Suns and choose the race Angel Command ! Now all my Angel Commands have 4000 more power ! Also , Petrova can't be chosen by you except for the cases when it must be attacked or blocked ! "

" Grr... Don't be too overconfident , girly ! Mad deck evolution ! " Tabitha said and revealed three cards from her deck which were Reaper – Atomic Destroyer , Primal Scream and Dark Lucifer , Demonic Eyed Gunman . " The two spells go to my graveyard and I evolve Dark Lucifer into Mad Romanoff , the Wicked God ! Meteorburn ! I send Dark Lucifer to the graveyard and cast Evolution Burst – Death and Reverse from my mana zone for free ! Heh , this spell's effect will destroy Endra Pappi and revive my Space-Time Man ! Ike , Mad Romanoff , break her shield ! "

" Block and destroy it , Ultimus ! " Tsugumi said smiling . " You're not as tough as I expected ,Tabitha ! "

Meanwhile at Subaru's and Shagrath's duel .

" I generate Demonic Protector ! " Shagrath said .

" I summon Bloody Squito ! " Subaru said .

" I summon Bloody Dragoon ! "

" I summon Maxval , Electro-Fuuma ! Now all my darkness creatures will cost a mana less ! "

" Heh , that trick won't work on me , kid ! I cross Bloody Dragoon with Demonic Protector and end ! "

" I summon Super Trash Train , Fuuma Devil ! "

" Time to get things movin' here ! " Shagrath said smiling . " I summon Necrodragon Zekira and destroy my Bloody Dragoon ! Demonic Protector lets me draw a card because Bloody Dragoon had been destroyed and now I cross Zekira with Demonic Protector ! "

" Trash Train lets me draw a card as well ! " Subaru said . " Now my turn , I summon Black Lucifer , Sorcerer of Darkness and put the top five cards from my deck to my graveyard ! "

The cards which went to Subaru's graveyard were Aqua Surfer , Corpse Charger , Ballom , Jenny and Hanzou . Subaru then smiled and said :

" Heh , since Ballom , Master of Death and Hanzou , Menacing Phantom are Demon Commands , Black Lucifer now has 8000 power ! Also , since Ballom is an evolution Demon Command , when Black Lucifer is destroyed , I may return Ballom from the graveyard to my hand and Black Lucifer won't be destroyed ! "

" Nice trick ya got there , kid ! " Shagrath replied . " But it's nothing compared to what I'm gonna do to you ! I cast Corpse Charger to return Bloody Dragoon from the graveyard to my hand ! And also , Corpse Charger goes to my mana zone instead of graveyard after cast which means that I get one more free mana which is enough for me to do this ! I summon Bloody Dragoon once again ! Necrodragon Zekira , break his shield ! "

" Block the attack , Bloody Squito ! Also , Trash Train lets me draw a card ! Heh , your attacks are nothing against what I'm cooking for you , Shagrath ! "

Back at Tsugumi's and Tabitha's duel .

" I cast Heaven's Gate and summon two Aldora , White Knight Spirit for free ! " Tsugumi said . " Aldora is a 15500 powered blocker and a triple breaker which can attack you and your shields only if I summon a blocker in that turn ! Let's not forget about Petrova , which is giving 4000 more power to my Angel Commands which means that both my Aldoras now has 19500 power ! "

" Power isn't evreything in this game , you know . I cast Primal Scream ! " Tabitha said and put the top 4 cards from her deck to the graveyard , the cards being Magic Shot – Critical Destroyer , Chester Romanoff , Horrid Worm and Terror Pit . " I'll return Chester Romanoff , the Wicked God to my hand and end ! "

" Heh , good , but not enough , Tabby ! I summon Dragon Spirit Ulferus and cast a shield trigger spell for free from my hand ! I cast Impact of Heavenly Violence which will destroy your Bloody Squito and place your Space-Time Man to your shields ! Ike , Petrova , break her shield ! "

" Tsh , my turn , Grave Evolution ! I evolve Bloody Squito from my graveyard into Chester Romanoff , the Wicked God ! Meteorburn ! I send Bloody Squito to my graveyard and cast a spell Terror Pit for free to destroy one of your Aldoras ! Chester Romanoff , attack Petrova now ! "

" Block it , Aldora , and destroy that creature ! "

" Inaba Geeze , break Tsugumi's shield now ! "

Tsugumi took cover as Tabitha's creature broke one of her shields . When she took the card to her hand , she smiled . Subaru also smiled when he drew his next card and both Tabitha and Shagrath were shocked of seeing their confident faces .

" My move , I summon Olzekia , General of Decapitation ! " Subaru said . " Olzekia's effect will destroy one of my creatures and two of yours ! I'll destroy Lucifer , but return Ballom from the graveyard to my hand and keep Lucifer ! "

" Hmph , I destroy my Necrodragon Zekira and Bloody Dragoon ! Demonic Protector lets me draw a card ! " Shagrath said .

" Vortex Evolution ! I evolve Aldora and Ulferus into Bolpheus Heaven , Holy Super Dragon ! " Tsugumi said . " With Bolpheus's effect I'll cast Invincible Aura for free and gain three more shields ! I now attack with Bolpheus Heaven and put one of my shields to the graveyard ! Now I'll activate another effect of Bolpheus and destroy your Inaba Geeze and God Gut ! Ike , Bolpheus Heaven , triple break her shields ! Petrova , break her shield ! Heh , you have only one shield left ! "

Tabitha took cover as three of her shields got broken by Tsugumi's creatures . It seemed that the good guys actually were better than the bad ones . But Tabitha and Shagrath didn't want to give up that easy . Shagrath drew his next card and spoke :

" My turn , I summon Ghoul Ginus , the All-Destroying Fear Lord and take one of my shields to my hand without using its shield trigger ! Now I will destroy your Black Lucifer for good ! "

" Trash Train lets me draw a card and now it's my turn ! " Subaru said . " I cast Eureka Charger to draw a card and gain one more mana ! Then I cast Corpse Charger to return Bloody Squito from the graveyard to my hand and get once again a mana ! And now I summon Bloody Squito ! "

" Heh , why don't you attack me , Subaru ? Are you afraid ? "

" You don't fool me , Shagrath , these tricks won't work on me ! "

" Fine , then I guess that this will work ! I evolve Ghoul Ginus into Nine Dragon Spirit Dran Kilios ! Now since I've evolved a Dragon into this guy , I'll destroy your Trash Train ! Ike , Kilios , double break his shields ! "

" Block it , Bloody Squito ! My turn , I summon Bell Hell De Gaul , Footprint of the Reaper and end ! "

" Still afraid to attack me , Subaru ? Fine , I won't try to get you rid of your fears ! I summon Dark Jios , Dark Dragon Lord ! Ike , Kilios , attack ! Now Dark Jios's effect will make you choose one of your creatures and destroy it ! "

" I destroy Maxval ! "

" Double break his shields , Kilios ! Hahahaha , who's the weak one now ? "

Subaru layed his head down . It seemed that the tables had turned and now Shagrath was the one winning the duel . Tsugumi would've wanted to support him , but she was having her own problems as well .

" Shield trigger activate , I cast Grudge Gathering and destroy Bolpheus Heaven ! " Tabitha said smiling .

" Oh no ! " Tsugumi said and stared at her giant creature which blew up .

" If you think that's something , wait till you see what I've prepared for you ! I summon Sir Virginia , Mystic Light Insect and take Chester Romanoff from the graveyard to my hand ! Also , since Chester Romanoff is an evolution creature that shares a race with Sir Virginia , I'll summon him for free ! Grave evolution , I summon Chester Romanoff ! Meteorburn ! I cast Evolution Burst – Death and Reverse for free from my graveyard and revive Inaba Geeze , the Explosive ! Ike , Chester Romanoff , destroy her Petrova now ! "

Tsugumi sweated as she drew her next card . To her disappointment it wasn't a good card , but she decided that she was going to use it .

" My turn , I summon Leonidas , White Knight Spirit and end ! "

" That's all you can do after you pulled out your aces ? I'm disappointed of you , girly ! Anyway , time to finish this off ! I summon Romanoff the 1st , Lord of the Demonic Eye and put Terror Pit in my graveyard ! Inaba Geeze makes all my Knights speed attackers , so I attack with Romanoff , cast Terror Pit and destroy your Leonidas ! "

Tsugumi layed her head down as well . She was left out of creatures and couldn't do anything to defend her six shields .

" Ike , Romanoff the 1st , double break her shields ! " Tabitha ordered and Romanoff fired his guns and broke two of Tsugumi's shields .

Tsugumi took cover as her shields got broken by Romanoff . The girl thought that this was her end , but then she felt something shining above her . She looked up and saw that one of her shields had already turned into a card which was shining . That card gave Tsugumi's hopes back to her . She took it fast and said :

" Shield trigger activate , I cast Memories of the Planetary Dragon and turn all my shields into shield triggers ! "

" WHAT ? " Tabitha yelled shocked .

" So , shield trigger activate , I summon Ultimus , Spirit of Divine Law ! "

" No , I won't let you toy around with me ! This is my chance to break your shields and I will not lose it ! Ike , Chester Romanoff , break her shield ! "

" Shield trigger activate , I summon Light Divine Dragon Sebuns ! "

" Inaba Geeze , break her shield ! "

" Shield trigger activate , I summon Saint Bolshack , Spiritual Dragon ! "

" Sir Virginia , break her shield ! "

In that moment the shield shards stood in the air and floated around Tsugumi . The blonde girl smiled and that smile gave Subaru the confidence he needed . The shield shards slowly united into a card , and when the card was completed , Tsugumi took it in her hand and said :

" Shield trigger activate... I evolve Ultimus into White Knight HEAVEN , Lord of Spirits ! "

A giant blue robotic angel with white wings appeared behind Tsugumi and stared at Tabitha which was trembling . That image inspired Subaru whose hand glew with a powerful purple glow .

" Your time's up , Shaggy ! "

" What the... " Shagrath said surprised .

" Draw ! " Subaru said and drew his next card . " My turn , I evolve Olzekia into XENOM , the Reaper King ! "

A giant dark blue demon with no face and giant bat wings which was also weilding a staff which reasembled Ballom's head appeared .behind Subaru . Shagrath made a few steps back amazed .

" This is the power of our love ! A power which will never be destroyed by you ! " both Tsugumi and Subaru spoke to Tabitha and Shagrath .

" I think we've underestimated these kids . " Tabitha said while staring at HEAVEN .

" We're doomed . " Shagrath said while staring at XENOM .

Tsugumi and Subaru looked at eachother for a moment and smiled . Then both of them nodded and turned back to their dueling tables .

" HEAVEN's effect will send your creatures to your shields ! " Tsugumi said smiling and watched Tabitha's creatures disappearing and giving her 4 new shields . " But it doesn't matter , since I'll break them anyways ! Ike , HEAVEN , triple break her shields ! "

Tabitha took cover as the giant angel fired three lazor beams and broke three of her shields into pieces .

" Saint Bolshack , break her final shields ! " Tsugumi ordered and the red dragon dressed in a shiny angel armor flew through Tabitha's last 2 shields breaking them into pieces as well .

Tabitha had now lost all of her shields . She stood there sorrounded by her shield shards . Shagrath was about to run to her , but he also had his problems .

" XENOM , triple break his shields now ! " Subaru ordred and XENOM opened a hole in his giant body and fired a powerful beam which broke three of Shagrath's shields . " And that's now all , Shagrath ! Break Bonus ! Since XENOM broke your shields , you'll have to discard a card for each shield he broke ! "

" Oh crap... " Shagrath said sweating while he lost the cards which he had just gained from his shields . " This is definetly not good ! "

" Bell Hell De Gaul , break his final shield ! That's it , next turn you're finished ! "

Subaru and Tsugumi both stood victoriously in front of Tabitha and Shagrath . The power of love had triumphed against the forces of evil . But when Tsugumi was ready to finish Tabitha off , the witch threw an evil laugh and so did Shagrath . The evil laughs scared both Subaru and Tsugumi and they realized that it wasn't over .

" Shield trigger activate , I cast TERROR PIT ! " both Tabitha and Shagrath shouted .

" Oh no ! " Tsugumi said shocked .

" Impossible ! " Subaru added .

" Destroy her Light Divine Dragon Sebuns and prevent her from finishing me off ! " Tabitha said and lots of demons hands came out of nowhere and caught Tsugumi's golden dragon destroying it .

" Also , destroy his XENOM ! " Shagrath said and the same demonic hands grabbed Subaru's demon and smashed it to bits .

Now Subaru and Tsugumi made a few steps back scared . Shagrath and Tabitha got evil smiles on their faces and they stared at the two . It was clear now that the tables had turned once again in the favor of the evil . Both Shagrath and Tabitha drew their next cards and then spoke together :

" You're doomed ! "

Subaru and Tsugumi froze like statues at the hearing of these words . It seemed that the worse was about to start . The atmosphere in the hall was more tensioned than ever . Then Tabitha showed the cards she was going to use and said :

" Grave evolution , I summon Chester Romanoff , the Wicked God and Worm Gorwaski , Masked Insect ! Ike , Worm Gorwaski , break her final shield ! "

Tsugumi took cover as her final shield got broken by Tabitha's creature . The card from her final shield was Heaven's Gate , but she didn't have any blockers to summon . That was it , she had lost . Shagrath also showed the next card he was going to use and said :

" I evolve Nine Dragon Spirit Dran Kilios into Superior Draconic Phoenix Dolzabard ! Photo E , since I've tapped in my mana zone cards which are both Tyranno Drake and Brave Spirit , I'll break one of your shields for free and you can't use any shield triggers this turn ! "

" What ? " Subaru said shocked as one of his shields got broken and he saw that it was Terror Pit .

" Ike , Dolzabard , break his final shields ! "

Subaru took cover as Shagrath's giant dragon flew through his last shields breaking them . The black haired boy took the cards to his hand and saw that they were Aqua Surfer and Inferno Sign . But he couldn't use any of these shield triggers because of Dolzabard's effect . That was it , he had also lost .

Subaru and Tsugumi looked once again at eachother . This time they were both saddened , but Subaru then said :

" My love , we've both been through so many . "

" Subaru... "

" We've fought so hard , but it seems that this is where our battle ends . And a death with you near me would be the best death ever ! "

" My dear , I feel exactly the same ! " Tsugumi replied . " In the end , at least we'll be together in death ! Nothing will keep us apart ever again ! "

Subaru and Tsugumi walked from their dueling tables and grabbed eachother's hand . Then they turned to Shagrath and Tabitha ready to accept their fate .

" Chester Romanoff , the Wicked God , totomeda ! " Tabitha ordered .

" Dark Jios , Dark Dragon Lord , totomeda ! " Shagrath ordered .

Both creatures fired powerful beams which mercylessly hit Subaru and Tsugumi . The two lovers held their hands tight while they were flying in the air and burning . After a few seconds both of them landed on the floor and got hurt extremely bad . Their bodies were bleeding , had multiple burns and fractures and they weren't breathing anymore . Tabitha and Shagrath admired the horrible sight for a few moments and then the silence was breaked by the blonde witch which said :

" Let's go , Shagrath , our work here is done ! "

" Heh , rest in torment , love birds ! " Shagrath said to the two .

Both of them left the bodies of Subaru and Tsugumi where they were and went back to work . With that duel finished , it was the end of the chosen duelists .
