I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH OR THE MUMMY RETURNS

Final chapter!

Shadi gasped in horror as a vast black shadow moved over the desert. It went on for miles and miles, covering nearly every piece of land beneath the sun. After the shadow had stretched itself out, it began to rise up in orderly mounds, forming into hundreds, no….thousands of Anubis Warriors.

Dread filled Shadi's normally determined heart. Was it really worth it? Fighting when they were so vastly outnumbered? Just as he was about to suggest to the other Medjai leaders that they forfeit while they still had the chance, a familiar sound filled his ears….once he thought he would surely never hear again. Shadi looked up…and drew a breath when he saw Anzu, his supposedly dead hawk, swooping down to perch on his arm.

Shocked, the Medjai leader habitually stroked her soft chest feathers, noticing a slight graze in the side of her neck where a bullet had BARELY missed her. He smiled. If Anzu was able to snatch life out of the jaws of death….maybe they could as well.

Approaching the woman who had killed his baby sister, Joey growled,

"It's about time someone taught you a lesson, wench."

Rolling her eyes, Isis walked down the steps toward him….giving Yugi the chance to snatch the Book of the Dead and sneak away.

Glaring and hopping from foot to foot with his fists raised, the blonde man announced, "THIS is for my sister."

Before he could say anything else, Isis moved with lighting fast speed, grabbing his raised fist and driving her palm into his forehead.

With narrowed blood-red eyes and an axe clutched firmly in his hands, Yami moved along a dimly lit corridor. He followed the sound of metallic clanging until he finally found Bakura banging on a gigantic golden gong.

Holding more tightly to his weapon, the soldier ran and leaped over the gap separating him from his enemy. No sooner had he reached the other side than the entire chamber began shaking and he nearly fell backwards into the chasm.

Shakily regaining his balance, Yami looked to where he had almost fallen….and could swear he was staring into the depths of hell. Fiery demonic beings filled the infernal void, all reaching out for their next victim. No doubt, this was the entrance to the dark underworld.

With his composure recovered and hatred remembered, Yami let out a primal yell and raced towards the high priest with his blade. Bakura blocked the attack with his gong stick and succeeded in knocking both weapons literally into hell. Improvising, the soldier slugged his enemy in the jaw, drawing blood from Bakura's now mortal body.

Wiping the crimson liquid from his mouth, the white-haired Egyptian murmured, "So you wish to kill me? And then you would kill HIM…and send his Army back to the Underworld…This…I cannot allow."

As the high priest and reincarnated pharaoh began their fist fight, Shadi sent Anzu off and began to rile up his troops, igniting their fighting spirit against the Army of Anubis. The opposing team did the same, speaking in growling Arabic and flexing their dog-like bodies in preparation for the clash.

Joey was about to pass out, staggering painfully backward and muttering,

"What…is that…is that all you've got…?

The raven-haired woman smirked and punched him several times….but this time around, the blonde was able to get in a hit of his own. Isis gave him a look of "How dare you" to which Joey grinned confidently.

Shadi gave the signal and the hundreds of sword-bearing Medjai rushed towards the javelin-wielding Anubis Warriors. The two forces clashed….and so began the battle that put all others to shame.

Isis grabbed a pair of golden twin sai from the wall and stalked towards her opponent. Finding no suitable weapon for himself, Joey pulled out the scepter of Osiris and shouted, "Hurry up, Yugi!"

Said eight-year-old was in a secluded corner, reading intently from the Book of the Dead.

"Hootash naraba oos Veesloo. Ahm kum Ra. Ahm kum Dei…"

Bakura struck Yami, causing him to nearly fall into the fiery underworld. Acting on instinct, the soldier retaliated, punching his enemy several times in the face and once in the back. Though Bakura was a bit larger than he was, Yami had two advantages—one: being used to mortality, and two: the true desire to kill his enemy.

The spiky-haired adventurer grabbed twin hatchets while the high priest seized a doublt-ended javelin, and so began the next round. The two clashed, skillfully executing and blocking attacks. Yami managed to knock Bakura to his knees, only for the man to kick him in the stomach, knocking him backwards and into a torch-holding vase.

Meanwhile, Shadi was slicing off Anubis Warrior heads and Yugi was still reading.

"Efday Shokran," the boy furrowed his eyebrows thoughtfully. "Efday Shokran—Uncle Joey! I don't know what this last symbol is!"

Desperately blocking Isis's relentless sword slashes, Joey shouted back,

"What does it look like?"

"Its, uh…It's a bird! A stork!"

Knocking a sai from his attacker's hands, the blonde grinned triumphantly.

"I know that one! I know that—ack!" Isis grabbed his throat with one hand while he grabbed the arm that was trying to stab him with the remaining sai.

Impatienly, Yugi yelled, "What is it?"

Joey gagged and finally succeeded in throwing the woman off him.

"Amenophus!"

"That's it!" Yugi beamed. "Efday Shokran Amenophus!" he then gasped as a supernatural glow came over his mother's body.

As Shadi continued his ruthless assault in the desert, Yami swung one of his axes, splitting Bakura's double javelin in two. Growling, the high priest lunged at his opponent….only to be nearly knocked off balance when the entire room began trembling again.

Joey yelped as Isis's blade slashed across his chest, backing against a wall from sheer exhaustion. The woman raised her knife to finish him off….and was caught by another hand.

"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" TEA said, throwing the stunned Isis away from her brother.

"Oh my God, Tea!" Joey gasped.

Never taking her eyes off the Egyptian woman, the brunette commanded,

"Take Yugi. Go and help Yami."

Yugi protested. "But Mom—"

"No buts, Yugi. I'll be just fine."

"C'mon Yuge," Joey led the boy off.

"We did it, Uncle Joe, we did it!"

"Right, partner, now let's go help your dad."

Drawing her own set of twin sai from the wall, Tea stared coldly at the one who had killed her.

Yami and Bakura locked blades once again….only to be interrupted by the ominous opening of a large set of doors across from them. From the misty shadows….stepped a very large, black-scaled demon creature. It had razor sharp teeth, deadly-looking talons, and blood-red eyes, as well as an appendage attached to its stomach that ended in a sharp-toothed dragon head. The Eye of Horus glowed wickedly on the creature's forehead, signifying only one thing—THIS….was the Millennium King.

Glancing at each other, the two previously fighting men sprang backward, trying to put some distance between themselves and the horrid beast, who grinned at them mockingly. Not one to be cowardly, Yami flipped his hatchets around in a provoking manner, crimson eyes meeting those of the Millennium King, while Bakura began to creep away. He broke into an all out run, leaping onto another platform and drawing the demon's attention. Just as the Millennium King was about to attack with its razor-like claws, the high priest bowed low and cried,

"I am your servant! I am your servant!"

Smirking thoughtfully, the Millennium King replied,

"We shall see."

Bakura gulped, sensing his life was still in danger, and pointed at Yami.

"But HE was sent to kill you!"

Unable to understand the Egyptian dialogue, Yami glanced back and forth between the two foes and sprang backwards when the demon's dragon appendage shot a stream of fire in his direction. The Millennium King drove his talons into the wall where his enemy's head had just been, and the soldier retaliated by attempting to slice him with the axe. Unfortunately, he found that the Millennium King was too strong and swift, and was forced into a desperate game of "dodge and run".

Tea and Isis circled each other slowly, like to lionesses about to spring. Arching an ebony eyebrow, Isis murmured, "Teana."

The brunette spun her sai and retaliated. "Isis."

While it was true that she was indeed Tea, with all her memories and love for her family, the woman now recalled all her memories from her past life in Egypt….as well as her hours of training in the art of twin blade fighting.

Pleased with this return of her old rival's memories, Isis gave a slight nod and muttered, "Good."

This was all the provocation Tea needed to dive into the battle. The two women fought swiftly and skillfully with their sai, once again playing out the duel they'd had three thousand years ago….only this time, the winner might be different. Locking blades with her adversary, Isis roughly backed the brunette against a wall, saying,

"You have remembered the ancient ways."

Narrowing her cerulean eyes, Tea head-butted the Egyptian woman and hissed,

"That's a little something new!"

Stunned, Isis scrambled to evade the flurry of strikes unleashed by the blue-eyed beauty. Tea spun around and drove her elbow into the black-hearted woman's ribcage, then turned the other way and slashed her face with a sai.

Glimpsing the blood on her face, Isis stared at Tea with horror, thinking she had NEVER been that strong before. The brunette stared back without emotion…and Isis ran, pursued by Tea all the way.

Whimpering and clutching at his Millennium Eye, Pegasus made his way through the pyramid….right into the battle against the Millennium King. He yelped as the demonic creature grabbed him in its claws, shouting,

'My Lord! Save me! Save me!"

As if it were the most stupid command he'd ever heard, Bakura cocked his head and asked,

"Why"

Pegasus continued to plead for his life….until it was ended by the Millennium Kings sharp talons.

Shadi's scabbard sliced through the neck of a jackal creature, whipping around to kill another looming behind him. Finally, it seemed that he and his valiant force had eliminated the Army….but things aren't always what they seem. The Medjai leader knew this all too well and while his men began celebrating, he ran up to a nearby sand dune to get a better view.

What he saw…made his heart grow cold. The second wave of Anubis Warriors was coming, this time…..in millions. Staring at his comparatively small force and back at the marauding foes, Shadi muttered three simple words:

"God help us…"

Narrowly avoiding a jet of fire, Yami ducked into a corridor connected to the battlefield. He gasped when he saw a carving of an Egyptian holding the scepter of Osiris on the wall. The man in the image….looked frighteningly similar to him, with the same hair, build, and even marking on his arm….only this one was dressed in royal clothing.

"So it's true…" Yami murmured, gazing at his tattoo and back to the carving. "I am….or at least I was in another life….the son of King Akhenamkhanen. My name was…Atem."

(A.N: Couldn't resist putting a Yugioh quote in there.)

He then noticed the image continued on to show Atem's scepter turning into a spear….and driving through the heart of the Millennium King.

"Okay…" the former pharaoh murmured. "NOW I'm a believer."

"YAMI!"

Joey came running into the chamber, holding Yugi by the hand.

"Dad!"

"Joey!" the soldier called. "It's a spear! The gold stick thing—it's a—IT'S A SPEAR!"

"Really?" Joey examined the object in question from all angles. "It doesn't look like a spear!"

"NO! That's because it opens up into one!"

"Yes? And?"

"JOSEPH!" Yami snarled, beyond not in the mood for his brother-in-law's thickness. "IT OPENS UP INTO A SPEAR!"

It was then that the Millennium King reappeared. Screaming in terror, Joey and Yugi took off as fast as their legs would carry them.

Out in the desert, Shadi raised his sword to excite his troops for what he was sure would be the last time.

"Till the death!" he shouted and braced them for battle against the ever advancing foe.

Tea chased Isis into the Millennium King's chamber and gasped in shock at what she saw. The gigantic demon struck her husband, spinning him through the air and landing him against the unforgiving stone floor.

"YAMI!"

Yami's crimson eyes flew open at the sound of the voice he was sure he would never hear again. Shaking his head to clear his blurry vision, he gasped when he saw the familiar woman standing a few yards away.

"TEA?"

This distraction left him very little time to dodge the sharp teeth of the dragon head and grab a weapon.

Tea gasped and looked over to her son and brother who were attempting to unlock the spear within the scepter.

Unfortunately, they weren't the only ones interested in the golden object. Bakura raced into the room and cried,

"The Spear of Osiris!"

"Joey, quick!" the blue-eyed beauty screamed as Isis blocked her way.

Finally, the two boys jumped in surprise when a sharp spear shot out the end of the once useless stick, earning another desperate cry from Tea.

"Joey, throw it! Kill the Millennium King! Send his army back to the Underworld!"

Joey grinned confidently and lifted the golden weapon. "Stand aside, Yugi. I'm a professional. Regrettably, all the so called "professional" managed to do was throw the spear….right into the high priest's awaiting hands.

Aiming the sacred weapon, Bakura announced, "The Army of Anubis shall now be MINE!

"YAMI!" Tea screamed as the spear left Bakura's skilled hands.

It soared through fire and air, spinning threateningly….and was intercepted by Yami. The high priest yelled in anger at this mortal for getting in his way once again.

Yami dodged backwards, clutching the Spear of Osiris in his hands while the Millennium King attempted to impale him with his claws. Eventually, the soldier began to tip over into the chasm of the Underworld, his wife calling frantically for him. It was that exact moment….that Yami thrust the object in his grasp…..and imbedded it in the Millennium King's thick torso, stopping his fall into hell.

"NOOOO!" Bakura howled in despair.

Outside, the unstoppable foes were getting closer and closer to the Medjai.

Narrowing his blood-red eyes, Yami's voice grew dark and gruff, an Eye of Horus glowing furiously on his forehead as he hissed,

"Go to hell….and take your friends with you!" he drove the spear even deeper, causing the demon to snarl in pain.

Right as the Army of Anubis was about to touch the opposing side….they vanished into thin air. Shadi was silent for a moment…then let out a cheer that was imitated by his fellow Medjai. Their celebration was replaced by a collective gasp when a cloud of darkness shot out of the golden pyramid, forming into the likeness of the Millennium King's agonized face. It hovered over the pyramid for a moment before being sucked back inside, causing the entire structure to shake.

Clinging to a doorway, Tea and Isis looked worriedly for their men. Safe in Joey's protective hold, Yugi cried out when he caught sight of a familiar set of hands.

"DAD!"

Yami and Bakura both pulled themselves partway up from the chasm….and both had demons attempting to drag them down to hell. To make matters worse, the pyramid was falling apart, causing sharp stalactites to plummet from the ceiling.

"Tea!" Yami cried, his voice strained. "Get out of here! Just get out of here! Go!"

The brunette stared at her husband, her chest heaving and heart racing. Ignoring his pleas, Tea raced forward, dodging the falling rocks and going to her the man's rescue.

The soldier yelped as his hands slipped slightly, clinging onto the rough ledge for dear life…or perhaps dear afterlife.

"Hang on, Yami!" Joey shouted.

Fueled by pure adrenaline, Tea latched on to Yami's hands and began hauling him up out of the infernal abyss.

Watching his enemy's lover save him, Bakura cried out for his.

"Isis! HELP ME!"

The woman stared back at him, her face obviously conflicted.

"HELP ME!"

Finally, Isis decided that her own life was more important, turning and abandoning the one who had loved her throughout eternity.

"ISIS! Isis…"

With broken-hearted tears in his eyes, Bakura looked over at Yami who had been successfully pulled up by his wife. Seeing them…the high priest saw what true love really was—loving someone more than yourself. After all these millennia….he now realized the love he had shared with Isis could not have been true love….if she had left him there to die. With a look of physical, mental, and emotional defeat….Bakura let go of the ledge….and allowed himself to be taken down into the dark, fiery depths of the Underworld.

(A.N: I know that he's a bad guy and all, but the look on Imhotep's face when Anck-su-namun leaves him to die makes me cry every time. The poor guy basically threw away his life AND afterlife only to find out that she loved herself more than she loved him.)

Fortunately, for justice's sake, Isis's fate was not much better. For in running for her own sorry life, she fell into a pit of scarabs while the Mutou family ran out together. They made it to an opening in the pyramid and saw that the entire oasis of Ahm Shere was being sucked inside, Pygmies and all.

"Let's go up!" Yami shouted, leading his family up a staircase and emerging at the top of the pyramid. "This whole place is gonna get sucked up! Let's move up! Go!"

Clinging to the peak of the golden structure, Tea cried,

"Yami, we're trapped!"

Yami didn't answer, wrapping his arms protectively around his wife and child and preparing for the end.

"HEY!"

Everyone looked up….to see Valon waving from a newly functional Magic Carpet.

"Come on! Get your butts moving! Hurry up! Hurry up! I haven't got all day!"

The soldier lifted Yugi and Tea onto the aircraft, gasping as Joey nearly fell off.

"Joey!" Yami yelled, grabbing his brother-in-law's ankle. "Hold on!"

"Pull him up!" Valon shouted.

"Y-yeah! Pull me up!" the blonde cried…then caught site of the gigantic legendary diamond at the top of the golden pyramid. "Wait! Wait! Let me down!"

"It's not worth your life, you idiot!" Yami snapped.

"Yes it is! Yes it is!"

Joey was lowered just enough to grab the gargantuan jewel and the craft lifted back up, right as vegetation swallowed the pyramid completely.

"AAAAAH PULL ME UP! PULL ME UP!"

Joey and Yami were finally hauled onto the ship and it pulled away, barely escaping before all evidence of the oasis of Ahm Shere….vanished for all eternity.

Seeing that they had made it out alive, Valon began whooping.

"Whoohoo! Yeah! Mutou! You almost got me killed!"

Yami gave a weak shrug. "At least I didn't get you shot."

The pilot was about to retort with a scathing remark when Tea threw her arms around his neck.

"Valon, thank you! Thank you so much!" she planted kisses on his cheek and he grinned blushingly.

Once the brunette had finished her thanks, Valon groggily asked, "So Mutou, who in the name of sweet jumping sarcophagus have you been messin' with this time?"

"Oh, the usual…" the soldier replied. "Mummies….Pygmies…big…bugs…"

As the Magic Carpet cruised peacefully along, its passengers caught sight of the Medjai leader on his horse in the desert below. He waved to them and murmured an Arabic prayer before taking off, Anzu soaring at his side.

Waving goodbye to their friend, Yami turned his gaze to Tea and murmured, "I thought I almost lost you there…"

The brunette nodded. "For a moment there you did. Would you like to know what heaven looks like?"

"Later…" Yami crushed his mouth against Tea's, tangling a hand into her chocolate locks while her slender arms snaked around his neck. He kissed her passionately as he'd never done before, inwardly smiling and crying joyfully at the same time.

Yugi and Joey both rolled their eyes in disgust.

"Oh, please!" the blonde walked off with his treasure.

Glimpsing the giant diamond, Valon announced, "That's half mine you know."

"WHAT?"

"That's half mine."

Joey shrugged. "I have NO IDEA what you're talking about."

"What!" Valon cried indignantly. "You took my golden stick! I know you took my golden stick!"

"I swear on the head of my wife, I have no idea what you're talking about.

"You haven't—You ain't got a wife!"

"I don't have your golden stick either!"

The two continued to argue and Yami and Tea continued to kiss as the Magic Carpet floated peacefully off into the Egyptian sunset.

And that concludes The Mummy of Yugioh Returns! I hope you liked it and thank you for all the awesome comments! Please review! By the way, the "sweet jumping sarcophagus" line is not mine. It came from a comic on youtube called "Fun in Yugi's Mind." I do not own that comic.
