Yugi looked out the plane window. He knew they had to hurry and get home. A
sudden feeling ran through him. He knew that Amber was just challenged by
Calli to fight for Tea's spirit. "Oh no." he whispered.
Yami looked at him, "Did you just get that feeling too?" Yugi looked at him and nodded. 'I hope we get home fast! Why must this plane go soooo slow?!' Yami went back to his reading. The minutes (look! I can spell ^^) went by like years to Yugi. He just kept his mind on one thing, Tea. He had to get back and save her before Amber and Calli's fight turned into an all out war!
Calli was waiting on the roof when Amber arrived. Calli had a smirk planted on her face, "Do you still think you can beat me? HA! Fool, this isn't going to be a fight for Tea's spirit. It's a fight for the fate of the world! You can't handle this. I know you are still new to this and I've taken advantage of that!"
Amber yawned, "Are you done with your speech so I can kick your butt now?" Calli's smirk turned into a look of hate.
"Fine! If you want to disappear so soon." Calli charged Amber head on. Amber looked up and disappeared. Calli went flying off the roof. Amber waited for about a minute. Calli floated up with a look of horror on her face.
"Didya forget that you can fly?" Amber mocked. Calli charged her but this time she went half way and sent an energy ball hurling towards Amber. Amber didn't expect this and just barely countered her attack with a laser ball of her own. Calli's confident smile grew even bigger and Amber's turned into a look of horror. 'S-she really wants me dead! But why? I mean, I know all of the followers want us dead but she has never fought like this!'
Yugi was growing impatient when finally the plane started to lower. Yami put down his book and the look of horror crossed his face. Yugi could tell what Yami was thinking, 'I hate planes, I hate planes, I hate planes.' Yugi smiled inwardly. He didn't like planes either but he was happy they could get them home faster. The plane did a dramatic drop and Yami grabbed hold of the armrests. The plane got closer and closer to the ground. When the plane did hit the ground and tried to put on its brakes (you know the feeling when you kinda lean forward) Yami looked like he had just meet the Ghost of Death. When everyone, except Yami who stumbled, walked off the plane they dashed towards the parking lot. Amber had taken care of the luggage when they boarded. They finally found Mai's car and hopped in it. They speed off down the highway. Each on the edge of their seats. "Hold onto your stomach! I'm gonna show you what this baby can do!" Mai shouted over her shoulder. She pushed the accelerator and the car sped down the road at 90 mph.
Amber had luckily dodged another laser aimed at her. Calli and her were getting tired and started to show signs of it now. "Is that the..best you can do?" Amber managed to get out. Calli was breathing heavily; her eyes were starting to turn red with anger. Amber winced and knew she was in for it now. She started to attack but stopped and held her arm. It hurt so much. All she could do was watch Calli power up a laser and send it flying at her. The laser's impact threw Amber against another building. She screamed in pain and fell down, down towards the Earth. Calli watched as she hit and a dust cloud covered her. She gave out a victorious laugh.
"MUHAHAHAHA! And you thought you could beat me?" Amber lay with her face in the ground. She wanted to get up but couldn't. She cursed herself. She had failed in protecting Tea. She then felt something light touch her check. She automatically was healed. She thought she had heard Tea's voice. She stood up and looked at Calli. Calli stopped laughing. Amber sent a beam of light straight at Call's heart. It went through her like a knife throw butter. She tried to scream but couldn't. It somehow felt soothing and like it was breaking the bonds of evil. Slowly, she fell towards the Earth. Calli landed at Amber's feet. Amber fell to her knees and stared at her. She didn't have power like that at all.
"Tea." she whispered.
Calli woke up and looked around, "I'm alive? But I thought I was destroyed by..Amber, how? How did you do that?!" Amber looked at her. She didn't even know how she did that. Calli got up and looked herself over, "I'm.free! You freed me!" Calli ran over and hugged Amber and cried into her shoulder. Amber hugged Calli and thought 'It wasn't me. It was Tea somehow.'
Mai was still speeding down the highway at 90mph. The cops were now on their tail and giving them a chase. They were at the exit and turned off the highway. "Yami, Yugi. When we get by the hospital jump out of the car. We'll handle the police and meet up with you as soon as possible. Got it?" Joey called over his shoulder. They nodded. The hospital was right up the road. Yami jumped first, hit the pavement and rolled. Yugi jumped next and somehow landed on his feet. They raced into the hospital as Mai and Joey sped away. They ran up the stairs and into Tea's room. Tristan, Serenity, Amber and Calli were standing there.
"Calli?" both of them chorused. Calli smiled sweetly.
Amber was the one to speak, "I'll tell you later. Do you have the Sacred Water?" Yugi held it up and handed it to her. "It is best if you went down to the lobby. It takes a minute to get this thing ready and all." They all nodded and walked stairs. Joey and Mai were sitting there.
"Hey! How did you guys get away?"
Joey and Mai looked at him, "Well, we just turned down an ally and they went right past us." Joey stated plane and simply.
"So is Tea going to be alright?" Mai asked in a concerned voice.
"We don't know."
Joey looked up and saw his sister for the first time they got back. He ran over to her and hugged her tightly, "I'm sorry sis. How are you? I hope Tristan here wasn't too much of a pain."
Serenity laughed a little, "He was fine big brother. He was more worried about you than what was happening."
A little later Calli came down the stairs, "She's finished." They all got up, thinking the exact same thing: all of their work came down to this. They climbed slowly towards the top. Yugi's heart was beating faster by the moment. They entered Tea's room. Yugi saw the sun setting in the background and a figure sitting up in bed looking at it.
Yugi stubbled with his words, "T-tea? Is that r-really you?" Tea turned her head and looked at Yugi. Tears were brimming her bright, brilliant eyes.
"Yugi." she spoke a little more than a whisper. Yugi ran over to her bedside and hugged her. And then he started to cry. Tea just sat there looking at the top of his head and hugged him. He cried his little heart out and Tea comforted him. Yugi stopped crying about 15 minutes later. He looked up at her. She looked like and angel from where he was standing. He stepped back. Everyone else came over and hugged her. Yami kissed her hand and Joey ruffled her hair. She looked up and saw Calli and Amber,
"You.saved me! Thank you Amber. This means so much to me."
Amber shook her head, "I only was someone who tried to save you. Yugi and Yami are the real heroes. And you are the one who saved Calli." Calli looked at Amber.
"Tea's spirit was the one who broke the bonds. I was just the body she did it in. I don't have powers like that."
Calli looked at Tea. Tea smiled and said, "You really think I would let my own sister continue to destroy herself?" Calli walked over to her. She knelt down and cried into Tea's hand. Everyone but Amber had a shocked or confused expression.
"S-she's your s-sister!!!" Joey stumbled with his words. Tea looked at Amber.
Amber replied, "I think you should tell them." Calli stopped crying and looked up.
Tea took a deep breath, "Ok.... You remember when Amber told why I was wanted by the followers, right? Well, that was part of the story. You see, I was out with my family on a camping trip. Calli had been acting very weird and one day just left the campsite. I went out into the woods looking for her and I stumbled into the ceremony the followers were holding. I saw my sister being turned into one of them and I screamed. They found me and chased me all around the forest. I finally ran out of energy and fell. That's when Amber found me. She was looking for me because she is our mom." Everyone looked at them with wide eyes. She continued, "When she found me and saw who I was running from, she picked me up and ran too. We ran far and deep into the forest. She hid me behind some rocks. She tried to distract them but they killed her. Luckily they couldn't find where she had hid me. She went to her leader, a person of peace, and asked to watch over me until I am strong enough to fend for myself. He agreed on one condition: She could not help me if I was already captured or about to be captured. Amber/ Mom brought me back to the campsite and explained to my dad what had happened. He was sad but agreed to protect me with a physical body. So the years went by and my sister and mom have clashed many times. This was the closest one, in my opinion."
Everyone just sat there, absorbing the information. Calli finally broke the silence, "I owe my life to Tea but I don't think I will be with her in the end. I went from a child of light to a child of darkness. I thank her so much but in the end, I don't think I'll see her in the world of dreams."
Amber took one step forward, "Yugi, don't you have something for Tea?" Yugi looked up, "Oh Yeah!" He searched through his pocket. Tea shifted her feet so they were hanging over the edge of the bed. Yugi found the ring and walked over to her. Instead just handing it to her, he got down on one knee and took her left hand. (Like someone purposing.) He slipped the ring over her slender ring finger. Tea blushed a little and looked at the gem. It was a beautiful diamond that reflected a rainbow color when light hit it. Then something flash and the ring sent out and enormous wind rush. Tea looked at in complete shock and glowed a bright blue. When everything died down, they looked at her. She was now standing. She seemed a little taller and she had longer hair. She lifted her head slowly. Her eyes seemed a little more stern and a dark blue. She looked at everyone but when she met Yami's eyes, she stopped. There was complete silence as they looked at each other. Yami stepped forward; his eyes were wide in shock. Tea, or who ever she was, had the same look and then tears filled her eyes.
Yami whispered, "T-teana??" Teana nodded. As fast as she was there, Tea was in her place.
Tea had a look of horror on her face, "What just happened?" She looked next to her and someone who looked almost exactly like her was standing there. "AAHH!! Who are you!? And why did you just take over my body!?" Tea exclaimed. Teana looked at her and Tea seemed to understand.
"To put it simply, I am the Pharaoh's Queen. Queen Teana. I locked my self in that ring when Yami disappeared and waited for him." She looked at Yami who had come closer. Now Yami ran to her. He embraced her and swung her around. She giggled in pleasure. He set her down and kissed her deeply. When they finally broke away they just stared into each others eyes. She pulled away from him, "I'm sorry. I wish I could stay longer, but being inside that thing for 5000 years and coming out has made me very tired." Yami nodded, he knew the feeling. A light flashed around her and she disappeared. Yami just sat there with a dreamy glint in his eye. He then went back into the Puzzle.
Yugi yawned and Tea looked at him, "You should go home and get some rest. That's what I'm going to do. There is no reason to stay up for me anymore. I'm going to stay for a little while longer."
Yugi nodded and started to leave, "See you tomorrow." Everyone left. Amber was going to take Calli to Tea's home.
Tea sat there, mentally thinking to her own yami. /I'm glad you're here. Now I know I am destined to be with Yugi and I don't have to break either's heart./
Teana laughed //Yes. Yugi is a sweet boy and almost exactly like Yami. I can see where you'd be attracted to him.// Tea smiled inwardly. She was right; Yugi was A LOT like Yami in his own, special way. She smiled and fell into a peaceful sleep. Glad that she now didn't have to keep her guard up all the time. Teana smiled as Tea's soul fell into a peaceful sleep. She knew that Tea and her were going to become good friends fast.

Ok people, sorry for the delay. It was skool and stuff. Sad to say but this is the last chapter. ;_;.. But I wont leave a cliffhanger(if you can call this a cliffhanger) I am going to ad an epilog. I really hope people have enjoyed my story. Ah! I'll save the goodbye speech for the epilog! Cya ^_~
