Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, so don't rub it into my face. I'm sure all
you people out there would love to own it though. But we can't sadly.
A/N: Let's get the basic down. Ignore the ~~~~ (comment) lines. They are being used to show scene changes and I can put little comments on them too. ^-^ I've only scene the American dubbed version of Yugioh because I'm an American and I can't read Japanese yet. So that's why Malik or Isis aren't the bad people here and Bakura is a little off character. Well actually he isn't. He's just sorry and he loves his light so. I won't push the subject since no one has been complaining about his persona in this story. This chapter, I feel, is going to be very long. I need to finish the battle so that the next chapter will be the aftermath and the finally. I may end up extending this story by one more chapter, but I'll try not to so stop crossing your fingers! =P

"Oooof!!" Yami crawled off of Tea and scouted their surroundings. They had all fallen into a cell with Tea being the first so she ended up the cushion for everyone's decent. There were rusted bars on the windows and cell wall and everything was moldy and dusty. "This is jus great! We come ta save Seto and we all end up in the slammer!" Joey scowled and sat up to rub his butt. Yami looked over to see Yugi tenderly helping Seto to stand. He smiled but deep down a slight pain jolted in his chest.
"Uh, please Yugi don't help me. I'm fine." Seto swatted Yugi's hand away and the tri-haired boy looked hurt. Joey noticed this and stuck his fist into Seto's face, "Hey now! We jus risked half are arses to rescue you! Don't you dare talk ta Yug that way!" Seto gave a chuckle and pushed the blonde away. "I'm not the one you risked your 'arses' for puppy dog." They all stared at Seto with a puzzled expression. There was a yelp from Ryou as Seto suddenly shifted into a taller, green-haired, brown eyed form of Seto Kaiba. "Kaiba!! I should of known it was a trap all along! Now we're stuck in here and there's nothing we can do for Seto." Yami scowled and sat down on the cell bed. Kaiba frowned and shook his head. "Don't be an idiot, Pharaoh. Seto is taking care of what he has to take care of right now. I'm on his side, not Seth's. Right now, we have to get out of this cell and secure the castle for the light side." Yami stared up at Kaiba and the demon sighed to himself. Kaiba then went into a long explanation about everything that had happened and what was happening right now. Yugi smiled, "Oh, I see! But, if you were the Seto being dragged in, then who was the other one that looked like you?" Kaiba smiled at Yugi and nodded. "That means Seto is."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kaiba smiles a lot. ^o^
"All right, Kaiba good now hand over the millennium items." Seth gestured to Kaiba as the demon walked up. Kaiba gave Seth the items and yelped as Seth threw him down into the mud. "There now. Thank you so much for your help Kaiba but I don't need you any more. Bye now." With that Seth guided his horse down towards the front rank. Kaiba neither followed nor cursed but stood straight back up and ran towards the Light army.
~~~~~~Scene change! Scene change! I'm getting as bad as Episode 2 of Star Wars
A Dark Magician guided his horse over to where his fellow officer, a Celtic Guardian, was waiting. The Celtic Guardian acknowledged his presence, "Any news of backups, Orb?" The Dark Magician shook his head, "None of them could make it, Teal. I'm afraid we have to do this one alone." Teal looked out over the thousands of soldiers of both sides, "As long as we fight with courage and heart, we should come out victorious." Orb nodded and lifted up a pair of binoculars to see the other side, "Oh damn it all! Seth has two millennium items!" Teal cursed out loud, "We'll need to tell the troops. If that bastard has even one millennium item then we'll all be walking to are death."
Orb nodded and galloped down to the front line of troops, "Listen! Everyone, the enemy has two millennium items!! We can march to our certain doom and fight for our families and loved ones, or we can surrender right here and now!" Orb smiled as the soldiers started yelling Hell no we won't! Returning up the hill to Teal's side, Orb repeated the soldier's message. Teal smiled and beamed down at his men, "That's the way. I was certain they wouldn't give up. Orb, if you survive and I don't, tell my wife I love her." Orb nodded his head, "If you do and I don't, tell Staff she'll always be the center of my heart." Teal gave a nod and the two started down the ranks on their horses.
"Wait!!" The two offices paused and looked to see Seth's handyman, Kaiba running up to them waving his hands crazily. Teal drew his sword and prepared to attack him but Orb shook his head. Kaiba nearly crashed into Orb's horse and wrapped his arms around the beast neck so he could catch his breath. "Listen to me! We can still beat them!" Orb stared down hard at the demon. Kaiba looked awfully familiar to him. A glint of hope traced his face as he remembered where he had heard that voice before, "Seto! Is that you!?" The brunette looked up and smiled at him, "Orb! I should of known you'd lead a war." Orb gave a cry and jumped off his horse to hug his friend. "Your eyes! They're better!!" Seto nodded and gave Orb another hug. Gods was he happy to see his friend.
"Listen Orb. The millennium items Seth has are fake. The real ones are right here around my neck!" Orb grinned as Seto pulled all three trinkets out of his shirt from around his neck. Then Orb's eyes focused on the amethyst orb hanging next to the two golden items, "Seto! Around your neck! It's the millennium heartpiece! The item that belongs to the Magician of Dark Arts!!" Seto gave his friend a nod, "I know. I'm the reincarnation of the Magician of Dark Arts." Orb starred dumbfounded at his friend, "You're joking! You're the reincarnation of the second most powerful duel monster next to Exodia!?" Seto listened as Orb told him all about the Magician of Dark Arts. It was his turn to be astonished. He had no idea that he had been that powerful of a duel monster.
When that was over Orb, Teal, and Seto started discussing battle strategy. It was decided that Seto would remain here on the hill to cast spells down at the opposing force. Once he had cleared enough of them with magic, Orb and Teal would lead their men into battle to wipe out the rest of the remaining forces. Seto found a spell in the book he had taken from the castle and changed his clothes with it so that he was wearing the same garments as the ones he'd worn when he was the Magician of Dark Arts. Hat and all he should point out. Then he watched as his friends went down to prepare the troops. Seto prayed that he wouldn't mess up. More was at stake then just victory.
~~~~~I have a drawing that I did on the Magician of Dark Arts! E-mail me if you want to see it!
"Heeyah!" Bakura dug his dagger deep into the two skull servants and pulled away to keep from getting blood all over him. Most of the others gagged but Yami and Kaiba just dismissed the sight. Kaiba walked over and picked the lock to the door the zombie monsters had been attentively watching. "In here we'll find weapons. Everyone needs one. Most of Seth's do-baders are out fighting the light side. We destroy all the one's still in the castle then find the item that Seth has been drawing magical power from. If we destroy that, then Seth will be no more than a helpless human." They all nodded and entered the room following Kaiba.
Sure enough, the walls were lined with bows and arrows, swords, daggers, staff's, all those good things duel monsters use that don't require bullets. Kaiba chose a sword, Yami took a dagger, Bakura took two daggers and gave Ryou a bow with arrows, Joey took a sword, Triston grabbed a sword and dagger, and Tea took a staff. "Good, now that we're all armed let's get to some exterminating." Everyone nodded at Kaiba and they all fanned out of the room and split up into groups of four; Yami, Ryou, Bakura, and Kaiba went down the left corridor and Triston, Joey, Tea, and Yugi went down the right.
The two groups slaughtered every duel monster they could find and explored every room that turned up. Finally they all met back up in the room where only a while ago Yami and the others had been making a deal with Seth. "Fuck, we couldn't find any stupid magical trinket. How about you guys?" Tea scowled at Bakura's language, but shook her head. Joey looked around the room at all the books and junk, "Maybe it's on one of these shelves." Kaiba cocked an eyebrow at the blonde, "For once, the puppy has a good idea." Joey scowled and shook his fist at Kaiba, but his gesture went unnoticed. Kaiba was already searching the books on the upper shelves since he was tall enough.
Yami and the others got to exploring the corners of the room as well. Joey sulked over to inspect a nook in the stone wall. He really hated Kaiba, all three of them. Joey poked a finger into the wall and glared at it. Suddenly a trap door under him opened up and Joey fell into a room below with a yell. Kaiba and the others ran over to stare down at Joey. "Well, it looks like Ryou isn't the only klutz around here." Ryou slapped Bakura and gave him a playful scowl. Kaiba bent down near the hole and glared at Joey, "What's down there!?" Joey rubbed his head and looked around him. "Some kinda giant crystal or somethin. Looks like somethin's in it." "Fine then, get out of the way! We're coming down!" Joey muttered and stepped out of the way. A few minutes later Kaiba dropped down followed by Triston, Yugi, Yami, Tea, and Bakura who caught Ryou so he wouldn't hurt himself in landing.
Triston looked Joey up and down. Joey assured him that he was fine and, as Yami noticed, squeezed Triston's hand. Yugi had been right, there was definitely something going on between those two. Kaiba walked up to inspect the giant crystal Joey had mentioned. There was definitely something in it. "Maybe this is what Seth has been drawing power from." Kaiba glanced over at Yami. He then returned his attention to the figure inside the crystal. Something about that long blue hair, pale skin, and lean figure reminded Kaiba of someone. He gasped in horror as it hit him, "NEKO!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Damn that Seth! O__o
Seto chanted the spell from the book over and over. As the words rolled off his tongue and echoed into the night, the sky became darker and cloudier. Flashes of lightening burst here and there and finally one came, striking the ground and sending a good 100 dark soldiers flying through the air burnt and crisp. Seto didn't stop but continued the slow chant as more thunderbolts struck and destroyed half of the enemy. Seto concentrated and found a way to destroy only the enemy and do no harm to the alley. He then waved a signal to Orb and Teal without stopping the chant.
Orb seeing the signal raised his staff and declared an attack. Before Seto's eyes thousands of magicians, fairies, and warriors clashed with the remaining half of the enemy. He had never seen such a sight. Not even the movie directors could come close to what war really looked like. He gasped as he realized he had ceased his chanting and quickly took up where he had left off. The battle was leaning towards a light victory and Seto beamed at the thought that he had helped it. Only one thing bothered him, where was Seth?
"Arrrggg!!!!!" Seto swung around missing a dagger by a hair. There was Seth, standing dagger ready behind him. Only appropriate for a 'friend' to stab him in the back. "You tricked me! You're not Kaiba, and these are not the millennium items!" Seth gestured to the two rocks tied to two pieces of Kaiba's cloke. Seto had used a spell of illusion to disguise the rocks as the millennium ring and puzzle. Seto quit chanting, he had to deal with his light. Orb and the others would have to finish the rest off on their own.
"It was Kaiba's idea. He decided I was more trust worthy than you, Seth." Seth scowled and lunged at Seto who once again dodged. Seto felt a sharp pain and ran his finger over his cheek where the dagger had cut him. "Ha! A slut like you is easy to trust." Seth slashed Seto again, but this time when Seto dodged Seth stuck his foot out and tripped him. Seto landed on the ground and racked his brain for some memory of a spell besides illusion that he could use. Seth brought the dagger down at him and Seto closed his eyes waiting for the sickening thud of the metal on his flesh. Clink! Both yami and hikari stared down at where the dagger had landed. Right on the millennium puzzle. Seto brought his foot up and kicked Seth away. Slipping in the mud, the light landed on his ass. Seto struggled to his feet and held the puzzle close. He smiled as he couldn't help but think that Yami and Yugi had something to do with the millennium puzzle being right there to shield the blow.
"Seth! Hikari or not, Mokuba's brother or not, I'll give you no mercy! You can rot in a sarcophagus fit for a thing like you!" Seto felt the millennium puzzle, ring, and heartpiece all begin to glow. They're power seeped into him and he raised his hand firing all the Egyptian power at Seth. "Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!" A bright light shot through the sky turning everything from the Shadow Realm to the Light Realm into a white oblivion. When the light dissolved a little fluffy pink baby bunny was laying where Seth had been just a moment ago. Seto smiled mischievously and caught the bunny in his hand. Casting a spell, the bunny was in a carrying cage and safely secured inside. "Seto! Are you ok!?" Seto turned to see Orb running up to stand next to him. Seto nodded and showed Orb the bunny, "I think I'll call him fluffy." Orb gave him a puzzled look then figured it out. "Ha ha! We'll be getting no more trouble from your light then I suppose." Seto and Orb did one of those high-five things then began to descend down the hill.
"I figured out something about the millennium items, Orb. Each one stands for a characteristic that humans have. You know, the things that make them strong at times when they are weak. The puzzle represents courage, the ring represents power, and my heartpiece represents love. I'm sure that the other items also represent something, but that's for me to think about later." Seto smiled at his friend, Orb nodded. When they reached the bottom of the hill, cheers and yells from the soldiers greeted them. Seth was gone and light had prevailed. Teal ran up to them with a huge grin, "Everything that was destroyed by Seth and his minions has been magically restored! That's people, buildings, and maybe even your home back in the Light Realm." Seto brightened at this. That would mean that Mokuba was alive and everything was as if nothing had happened. The prospect of going home was more appealing to him then ever.
"Seto!!!!" Seto turned around shocked as Yugi threw himself into his arms. Seto lost his balance and they both crashed to the ground, Yugi with a deadlock around his neck. "Seto! You're alive! Finally damnit, do you have any idea what we've been through just trying to find your sorry ass!?" Seto was so shocked at Yugi's actions that he didn't pay much attention to Yugi's words. Finally, impulse took over and he wrapped his arms around Yugi and held the little angel close to him. He sat up and looked into the stunned faces of the others. He smiled as he saw his friend Bakura, smiling and nuzzling his nose into Ryou's hair. "Heh, so I take it Ryou forgave you Bakura." Bakura just held Ryou closer to him and sighed. Seto was happy to see his friend alive and well. He had been worried about Bakura.
They all exchanged smiles and hiya's, all accept Tea who was still shocked at Yugi's clinginess to Seto. Seto stared at the young man who was clearly attached to Kaiba. Kaiba smiled and nodded his head. Seto knew this must be Neko. Sighing to himself, Seto laid back into the grass with Yugi still in his arms. Finally, everything was over and things were taking a turn for the better.
~~~~~~~~~Back in the Elvin Village
"Seto, you're alive!! Oh wow!! A bunny!!!" Seto smiled as Mokuba attacked him with hugs and squealed over his new pet. "His name is Fluffy. When we get home we'll get him a cage to live in. Don't let him into the library though." Mokuba nodded and smiled up with bright eyes at his big brother. Seto smiled even more and ruffled his little brother's hair. Gods was he glad to see him alive. Seto left his little brother to join everyone outside of the inn. Yugi and Yami were being greeted with hugs from their grandpa and everything seemed right.
"Hey! Seto dear!" Seto turned around to be hugged by Staff, Orb's lover. "I'm so glad to see both you and Orb alive and well." Seto smiled and hugged her back. "Thanks, I couldn't of gotten this far if you and Orb hadn't healed me." Staff smiled at him. Orb walked over to join them. "Well, I suppose this is good-bye." Seto frowned and looked down at the ground, "Yeah, I suppose." "You know, we do a lot of stuff during the summer. Like magic training, exploring, you know. Maybe you could come visit us and we can do those things together." Seto looked up and smiled at the two magicians, "That's a most definite yes!!" Staff and Orb both smiled. "Before you go, maybe you could take a souvenir along with you." Seto gave Orb a puzzled look. Just then a squawk and a heavy form landed on Seto's shoulder. "Kenori!! Oh! You're all right! Can I really take him!?" Orb laughed and nodded his head, "Just don't let him out in public." Seto gave a childish squeal, hugged Orb and Staff, and went to show Kaiba.

AnimeFan: Yeah! The last chapter is the finally and it's the aftermath of everything. You'll see when you read it. I wasn't lying when I said I drew a picture of Seto as the Magician of Dark Arts. If you people are curious to see his uniform then just ask and I'll send. I promise it's not bad at all. I'm a really good anime artist! I did have several personal scene suggesting Joey/Triston relationships so I hope that some people like those moments. Haha! Can anyone guess who the bunny is and why Seto said it couldn't go into the library? Muahahahahaha!! Pink bunny! ^o^ The meanings of the millennium items was just an idea of mine and anyone is welcome to use it in their fics! Thanks for reading and don't miss the last chapter. It has some final surprises in it. I wouldn't miss it!
A/N: Let's get the basic down. Ignore the ~~~~ (comment) lines. They are being used to show scene changes and I can put little comments on them too. ^-^ I've only scene the American dubbed version of Yugioh because I'm an American and I can't read Japanese yet. So that's why Malik or Isis aren't the bad people here and Bakura is a little off character. Well actually he isn't. He's just sorry and he loves his light so. I won't push the subject since no one has been complaining about his persona in this story. This chapter, I feel, is going to be very long.

"Oooof!!" Yami crawled off of Tea and scouted their surroundings. They had all fallen into a cell with Tea being the first so she ended up the cushion for everyone's decent. There were rusted bars on the windows and cell wall and everything was moldy and dusty. "This is jus great! We come ta save Seto and we all end up in the slammer!" Joey scowled and sat up to rub his butt. Yami looked over to see Yugi tenderly helping Seto to stand. He smiled but deep down a slight pain jolted in his chest.

They're power seeped into him and he raised his hand firing all the Egyptian power at Seth. "Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!" A bright light shot through the sky turning everything from the Shadow Realm to the Light Realm into a white oblivion. When the light dissolved a little fluffy pink baby bunny was laying where Seth had been just a moment ago. Seto smiled mischievously and caught the bunny in his hand. Casting a spell, the bunny was in a carrying cage and safely secured inside. "Seto! Are you ok!?" Seto turned to see Orb running up to stand next to him.

Seto and Orb did one of those high-five things then began to descend down the hill.
"I figured out something about the millennium items, Orb. Each one stands for a characteristic that humans have. You know, the things that make them strong at times when they are weak. The puzzle represents courage, the ring represents power, and my heartpiece represents love. I'm sure that the other items also represent something, but that's for me to think about later." Seto smiled at his friend, Orb nodded. When they reached the bottom of the hill, cheers and yells from the soldiers greeted them. Seth was gone and light had prevailed. Teal ran up to them with a huge grin, "Everything that was destroyed by Seth and his minions has been magically restored! That's people, buildings, and maybe even your home back in the Light Realm." Seto brightened at this. That would mean that Mokuba was alive and everything was as if nothing had happened. The prospect of going home was more appealing to him then ever.
"Seto!!!!" Seto turned around shocked as Yugi threw himself into his arms. Seto lost his balance and they both crashed to the ground, Yugi with a deadlock around his neck. "Seto! You're alive! Finally damnit, do you have any idea what we've been through just trying to find your sorry ass!?" Seto was so shocked at Yugi's actions that he didn't pay much attention to Yugi's words. Finally, impulse took over and he wrapped his arms around Yugi and held the little angel close to him. He sat up and looked into the stunned faces of the others. He smiled as he saw his friend Bakura, smiling and nuzzling his nose into Ryou's hair. "Heh, so I take it Ryou forgave you Bakura." Bakura just held Ryou closer to him and sighed. Seto was happy to see his friend alive and well. He had been worried about Bakura.
They all exchanged smiles and hiya's, all accept Tea who was still shocked at Yugi's clinginess to Seto. Seto stared at the young man who was clearly attached to Kaiba. Kaiba smiled and nodded his head. Seto knew this must be Neko. Sighing to himself, Seto laid back into the grass with Yugi still in his arms. Finally, everything was over and things were taking a turn for the better.
~~~~~~~~~Back in the Elvin Village
"Seto, you're alive!! Oh wow!! A bunny!!!" Seto smiled as Mokuba attacked him with hugs and squealed over his new pet. "His name is Fluffy. When we get home we'll get him a cage to live in. Don't let him into the library though." Mokuba nodded and smiled up with bright eyes at his big brother. Seto smiled even more and ruffled his little brother's hair. Gods was he glad to see him alive. Seto left his little brother to join everyone outside of the inn. Yugi and Yami were being greeted with hugs from their grandpa and everything seemed right.
"Hey! Seto dear!" Seto turned around to be hugged by Staff, Orb's lover. "I'm so glad to see both you and Orb alive and well." Seto smiled and hugged her back. "Thanks, I couldn't of gotten this far if you and Orb hadn't healed me." Staff smiled at him. Orb walked over to join them. "Well, I suppose this is good-bye." Seto frowned and looked down at the ground, "Yeah, I suppose." "You know, we do a lot of stuff during the summer. Like magic training, exploring, you know. Maybe you could come visit us and we can do those things together." Seto looked up and smiled at the two magicians, "That's a most definite yes!!" Staff and Orb both smiled. "Before you go, maybe you could take a souvenir along with you." Seto gave Orb a puzzled look. Just then a squawk and a heavy form landed on Seto's shoulder. "Kenori!! Oh! You're all right! Can I really take him!?" Orb laughed and nodded his head, "Just don't let him out in public." Seto gave a childish squeal, hugged Orb and Staff, and went to show Kaiba.
