Black Skull leapt forward, attacking White Seraph. The angel-type Medabot pulled its right wing before it, blocking the attack with its hard armor. Jumping high into the air, far above Black Skull, White Seraph shot several bullets from its rapid-fire right arm.

Talons: 10% damage, Flare Cannon: 10% damage

Black Skull turned, swinging its left arm at White Seraph. It tried to block, but was too slow, and stumbled backward. It fell to the ground, awaiting Black Skull's next attack.

Halo: 50% damage

The dragon walked up to the fallen Medabot. It raised both arms, preparing to strike. As they came crashing down, White Seraph lifted its legs, catching Black Skull and flipping it over. White Seraph jumped to its feet, firing from both its rifle and laser. Black Skull lay on the ground, barely scratched by the attacks.

Claws: 20% damage

Joey grinned. Black Skull stood once more, charging at White Seraph. White Seraph brought its wings before it, blocking the hit and taking most of the damage. At the same time, it was being pushed back. The two Medabots skidded a fair ways before stopping.

Caution: 15% Damage, Light: 10% Damage

White Seraph leapt back, beginning to fly. It hovered above Black Skull, shooting lasers. The Medabot lunged back and forth, trying to dodge. It was hit a couple times, but few shots penetrated the thick armor.

Talons: 15% Damage

"Black Skull, use your head!" Joey commanded.

Black Skull reared its head. Flames spewed from its mouth. White Seraph could only drop to the ground to dodge the attack. Black Skull then ran forward, throwing an onslaught of attacks. White Seraph spun to the side, clipping Black Skull in the head with a direct hit.

Flare Cannon: 30% Damage

"Only 20 percent damage from a direct hit. . ." Bakura breathed.

"Black Skull," Joey smirked, "Flare Fire Blast!"

"Try and block it, White Seraph!" Bakura shouted desperately.

The flames singed White Seraph badly. Its wings failed it, and it took much damage to its legs.

Caution: 40% Damage, Light: 30% Damage, Kicker: 60% Damage, danger

Black Skull ran toward it once more, trying to catch White Seraph off guard. As Black Skull approached the angel, it jumped forward. Its mouth opened, its jaw coming dangerously close to White Seraph. Just as it came in range, White Seraph's arms flung themselves inward, wings crashing upon Black Skull's head part. The dragon wobbled away, allowing White Seraph to fire freely at its opponent, hitting it several times.

Flare Cannon: 80% Damage, high damage, Talons: 40% damage

"What?" Joey shouted.

"Hmm?" Bakura looked up at him.

"You never said anything!" Joey gawked, "Your Medabot knew exactly what to do!"

"Do you know why?" Bakura asked, "So many people go for powerful Medabots. The quick ones can dodge almost anything. There are some powerful Medabots that can still hit the faster ones. That's why White Seraph and I devised a counter maneuver."

Joey grumbled under his breath, "Counter this. . .Black Skull! Attack!"

Black Skull leapt forward, high into the sky. White Seraph shot blindly into the sun, trying to strike its target. All the spectators stared in awe. Bakura merely bit his lip. Joey's grin spread wider and wider. Shinobu's eyes reflected her fear.

The dragon came crashing down, atop White Seraph. The angel tried to dodge, but could not. So Black Skull lay on top of White Seraph, who had collapsed.

Halo: 90% damage, overload imminent, Kicker: 80% damage, danger

White Seraph somehow managed to roll onto its back. It now faced Black Skull straight in the eyes.

"White Seraph," Bakura stated into his Medawatch, "Finish him!"

"Eh? You think you can do that?" Joey taunted.

White Seraph raised its left arm, the laser. It pointed it directly between Black Skull's eyes. It fired.

Flare Cannon: 100% damage, function ceased

"What? No," Joey muttered, falling to his knees, "NO!"

Bakura jumped onto the giant robot turtle, running to Shinobu. He stopped right before her, not saying a word. Their eyes met. Her eyes were misty, as if lost in a dream. His eyes were soft, but also still blazing from his Robattle with Joey. After a moment had passes, Shinobu fell forward, embracing Bakura. She closed her eyes. He put his arms around her, smiling.

Feeling his arms, she looked up. Seeing his eyes once more, she leaned forward. Their lips slowly pressed against one another. Shinobu placed a hand on Bakura's cheek. Soon, they broke the kiss. The continued to stare into each other's eyes, both blushing.

"Shinobu," Bakura breathed, "I. . .I love you."

"I love you, too."

"Halt!" a voice shouted.

Joey turned around. Before him stood a man dressed entirely in silver clothes. His hair was white, and looked much like Edward Cloverly's, but his was dark brown.

"Who are you?" Joey asked.

"My name is Lucan. I have come to stop you," the man explained, "You are a threat to us all. You should be stopped, as should the rest of the Rubberrobo Gang."

"Eep."

Joey turned and started running, Lucan chasing him. He dashed out of the yard, pushing open the fence door as he ran. He stopped as he reached the other side, a man in his way.

"Joey Wheeler, we meet again," Spike grinned, removing a pistol and taking aim.

"Eep."

"Hey," Lucan called to Spike, "Truce, we split the reward."

Spike nodded. Lucan smiled inwardly, for he wasn't even after the bounty in the first place. Some extra cash could still help, though. Spike took a few steps forward, flinging his leg upward, kicking Joey in the jaw.

"Ow. . ." Joey moaned as he collapsed.

Yasumi stood before Kaiba, "Well, I guess you did pretty well."

Kaiba was silent. His eyes were closed. His face was bent into a bitter frown.

"Come on, Kaiba," Yasumi started, "Here, I'll even give you this."

Yasumi handed a surprised Kaiba a card. He stared down, the text flashing in the midday sun.

Dragon of Dark Lore

"Th-Thank you. . ." Kaiba murmured.

Joey was now out of his rubber suit, once and for all. He was happy to be back in his green jacket and jeans. He sat in his room, lying on his bed and music blaring through his headphones, which were on the floor. He grinned, snapping the yellow antennae in his hand.

He sighed, looking over at his Red Eyes. Its Medal sat on a table beside it. His view shifted slightly, looking at a picture of his sister, Serenity. He then jumped, hearing the phone. He grabbed the cordless lying beside him and pressed the button.

"Yeah, this is Joey," he said.

"Big brother?"

"Serenity?"

"Hi!"

"How are you doing?" Joey asked quietly.

"Well, and you?"

"Who cares about me," Joey sat up, "How did the operation go?"

"Great! I'm coming to visit soon!" Serenity chimed over the phone, "Oh, I have to go. I'll see you soon!"

Click

Joey dropped the phone. He looked out the window. Serenity was coming.

***The End***

Author's Note: Okay, that ending was a little weird. Weird is good. . .

Author's Other Note: I am planning a sequel to this and Duelist Kingdom. It currently has no name. My friend thinks it should be called "Stay in School, 'cuz it is Gnarly". Anyway, it will tie in both story-lines. See you later!
