Jesse watched her monsters engage Yugioh's monsters. She had to beat him.
King of Games she heard Seto call him.
" King of Games ma hide! You're goin' down Yugioh!" She yelled.
Yugioh glared back at the Texan. She was certainly formidable. She wasn't charging blindly into this fight. She must have known this end game was coming too, he thought. But Jesse was not invicible. He had already called his Kuriboh squad out and they were defending his team against the BEUD. As long as he had them out, he could not lose and she could not win.
" You're fighting a losing battle Jessica. You might as well give up now!" He said.
" Bite me boy!! Ma army will not lose ta you ya card-weildin' weakling!" She shot back.
" Have it your way." He said.
Yugioh was going to combine a undead monster with her BRUD like he had with Seto Kaiba. He was going to end their fight now before his friends or anyone else could get hurt.
" Living Arrow of the Undead! Strike down the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" He commanded.
" Wha? Destory it!!" Jesse yelled.
Her BEUD shot it's Neutron Beam at the arrow. But the arrow was too close already. IT struck the dragon dead center of it's chest. It howled in pain. As did Jesse.
" AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" She cried.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" What's wrong with her?" Joey asked.
" Yami told me that using the cards this way requires you to combine your spirit with them. When they hurt, you hurt. Jesse must have alinged herself with the BEUD and now she feels it's pain." Yugi said.
" Combine your spirit?" Tristan said.
" Yes. In order for the cards to live in our plain, they must surrender some of their life energy for them to survive. Jesse will die if all her monsters die. As will Yami if the same happens to him." He said fearfully.
" Yami won't lose. He knows what he's doing. But...I hope Jesse doesn't die." Tea said.
" You and I both." Yugi said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jesse held her chest. She could feel wetness there. Her own blood was coming through. Yugioh remained expressionless.
" Give up Jessica. If you continue this senseless fight, you will die." He said.
" Giving up is fo weaklings. If Ah give up than Ah am weak. Ta be weak is ta be unworthy ta live. Ah'd rather die than surrender ta you!!" She yelled.
Her dragon continued to fire as her magicians and swordsmen continued to battle. Yugioh had the win already. The Kuribohs were regenerating faster than they could be destroyed. Jesse knew she was in trouble.
/ This is fruitless. Give up before you lose your life./ Yugioh said.
/ Ah thought Ah told you ta stay out of ma head? This is ma life made with ma choices. If Ah decide I want to die defeating you than that's just what Ah'm gonna do!/ She snapped.
/ You don't have to prove yourself to anyone anymore. We know you're not weak Jessica. You need help. We can help you./ He said.
/ You know nothing!! You don't know me well enough ta label me sick or even disturbed!!/ She said.
/ She's not controlling you anymore. You don't have to please her anymore Jessica. She was sick herself. Your mother didn't treat you the way you should have been. We're not your enemy. We want to be your friends./ He said.
/ Stop trying ta confuse me!! Ah will not give into your mind games! Ah have ta be strong ta survive on ma own! Ah am alone!!/ She cried.
On the outside Jesse was crying. She still looked as tough as ever, but on the inside, Yugioh was breaking down her walls. She had been alone for so long, she didn't remember what it felt like to have people care or have friends.
She remembered what her mother drilled into her mind. She didn't need anyone. But Yugioh said she was wrong and she did need friends and they wanted to help her. She couldn't remember somebody wanting to help her.
/ You'll never be alone as long as you have Kaiba./ Yugioh said.
/ Seto? What about him?/ She asked sharply.
/ He never stopped caring about you. He cares alot about you and his brother. He wouldn't be standing there if he didn't care./ He said.
Jesse looked over to Seto. He shot her a smile. She blushed back. Then groaned as her chest screamed in pain.
/ It's over. But it doesn't have to end this way Jessica./ Yugioh said.
/ Kutabare!! It's over when I say it's over!!/ She said.
" I don't care if this does cost me my life!! Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!!! Neutron Beam on the other monsters!! Ignore the Kuribohs!!" She ordered.
Her half dead dragon obeyed and opened fire.
" Kuriboh's shield!!" Yugioh commanded.
They got in the way of the beam. The bright light of it blinded them all. Yugioh decided to get Jesse while she still couldn't see.
" Celtic Guardian!!! Attack!!" He yelled.
His Celtic Guardian blindly attacked whatever was in front of him.
" Ugh!!"
When the light died down, they could see again. Then they all gasped at the sight in front of them. It was horrifying. Tea screamed.
Impaled through the chest by the Celtic Guardian's sword. Blood dripping in a steady stream down the chest. The BEUD dragon howled in pain and fell to the ground. The Celtic Guardian was in shock too. He jerked his sword out. The red blood on the edge was not new, but it was very unnerving. He tossed it to the side.
He had missed the dragon and hit Jesse.
She put her hand to the bleeding wound. She looked at the red liquid on her hand. Then she looked at Yugioh with a blank stare. He was stunned beyond belief. His mouth was moving but no words were coming out.
Jesse was trying to talk too, but she couldn't. She just made this gasping/squeaking sound. Then she fell to her knees. Then fell face-first on the ground.
" Jessica!!!" Seto cried.
He ran over to her. Yugioh and his friends stood over them. He turned her body over and cradled her against him. Her mouth finally formed words as she looked up at them.
" I…I…I didn't think that…that I would…. die before I'd…conquered something…Or at least….met the Texas Rattlesnake…" She said as blood spilled from her mouth.
" Don't talk Jesse. You're hurt bad." Yugi said.
" Kutabare. It's my life….For however long of it I have left anyway….Ohh!!" She cried.
" Jesse!" They said.
" I'm sorry." Yugioh said.
" You are not…. You're happy I'm gone…..At least I would be… You've won boy." She said.
The life faded from her eyes.
" No. Jesse…Jesse!!" Seto cried.
(Not the End)
" King of Games ma hide! You're goin' down Yugioh!" She yelled.
