Okay, okay. Yes this is the final chapter, and I'd like to dedicate this little interruption to all of my reviewers. Although this story kinda bombed when it came to reviews, I hope my next creation will please people more. None the less, the story has done a lot for me, so here goes:

Maiden of the Moon- thank YOU for every thing, Imouto. I mean it.

Liviania- thanks for sticking with me until the very end!

Darkwings of Faith- to be honest, if it wasn't for you, I really would not have continued with this story. You're my first reviewer, thanks!

Define Normal1- thanks for the sweet little comments and advice in your email and reviews.

"A shadow game?" Yami Malik snorted at this with complete amusement. "What do you think, Bakura? I'm sure the Pharaoh and his hikari will expect a double duel."

            "Only if after we kill everyone else you duel me and then we shall decide who the powers goes to. Last man standing." Bakura growled out, his own chocolate orbs piercing into the lavender ones across the room. s

            "Agreed," The Egyptian yami forced out, looking back over the group before them.

            "Now they're going to duel?" Trinity whispered, looking at the strange people all around her obliviously. "I still don't get what's going on here…"

            "Don't worry about that, just… stay back out of danger." Sapna offered, looking into the eyes of her new hikari.

            "But this is all so fast! In the next second someone could die…" The girl looked down at the floor beneath her. Sapna allowed a comforting hand to lie upon the girl's back.

            "We'll all make it through this, I promise." Sapna smiled kindly, a complete replica of the girl next to her.

            "Alright then," Yami narrowed his eyes, standing up. "We'll have a double game. Yugi and I against you two." The former king glared at his opponents with utter hatred.

            "Then let it begin." Yami no Malik spat out, holding the bloody Sennen Rod high into the air as the room was engulfed in shadows and magic.

            "This is all happening too fast…" Trinity whispered as Sapna left her side.

            "Yami," Sapna whispered, joining her kings' side. "I do not belong in this time. Please relieve me of the stresses of this modern world and let me aid you in this duel as master over monster." The queen of India bowed her head, showing the dominance Yami held over her.

            "Sapna…" The man breathed, looking over the Hindu and also following her gaze to the floor. "I truly do not want you to leave, but if this is what you wish, I will not deny you of it."

            "You will be able to see me whenever you summon me to battle." The beautiful woman smiled broadly at the man, causing him to slightly forget what was around him. "I will always fight at your side, my King." Sapna looked up into the amethyst eyes of the king and held her arms out, and slowly her body disintegrated from feet up. As her hips slowly materialized in purple and black shadow magic, she stared at her betrothed.

            "Take care of my hikari…" Sapna whispered ever so gently, so only Yami could hear.  He nodded, his golden bangs bobbing softly. The sorceress' long ebony locks blew around her body as she crossed her arms over her chest, he hands resting upon her shoulders. She closed her eyes after one final look at the future version of herself.

            "Hurry up." Bakura snarled, shuffling his deck in immense speed. "You're lucky we let you cheat. We'll still win."

            "With all the heart and power in my deck, I am invisible." Yami spoke smugly. Yugi nodded, taking ready breathes to get used to the new realm they were in.

~*~ My most sincere apologies! But… I really don't think I could write a decent duel out here, I know it just ruins the story, but I just can't!! Forgive me!~*~

 The tables had strangely turned, as Yami no Malik and Bakura's points were higher. The two had an advantage over the Pharaoh and his hikari. 2000 to 500.

            "I see you're all nothing but talk." Bakura cackled, drawing a magic card.

            "We'll see." Yami gritted his teeth, all he needed was to draw the Mystic Sorceress and equip her with Yugi's face down monster card, and he'd automatically win.

            "It was nice knowing you." Yami Malik chuckled darkly.

 Yami looked away from his opponents and concentrated as he placed two fingers across his deck, then drawing. Before looking at his drawn card, he looked into the eyes of his enemies monsters, Millennium Golem, and Dark Necrofear. Slowly the amethyst orbs traveled to his left, where the Mystic Sorceress glimmered in his hand. His lips curled into a smirk as he slammed the card down upon the stone tablets that appeared before them.

            "I equip Mystical Sorceress with the time wizard to age her one thousand years!" Everyone sat back and watched as the Sorceress enveloped herself in a bundle of black feathers before emerging as a beastly creature. The once beautiful mage now an angry beast with four black wings, blue shimmering skin, and half lidded red eyes. Her mouth was open to give her k-nines room and her tongue hung out to drip blood. She had six bangled and jeweled arms, each carrying a different weapon- a large dagger, a giant claw, trident, ball of flame, chakra, and a bow and arrow. She was nude, except for a single white, tattered and bloody shawl that hung from her chest and wrapped around her hips. Her long black hair hung about, blowing around slightly.

The beast let out a shrill cry from her bloody mouth, as if showing an omen of the enemies defeat.

Bakura's eyes widened, he didn't even have to look at his hand to see if there was a way out of this one.

            "Meet the Angel of Mystics… with a maxed out goddess level." The Pharaoh held a sick grin of triumph across his features. "Her specialty is automatically destroying all monsters on the field on the turn she is summoned and attacking your life points directly, or your beasts."

((Angel of Mystics: 4000/3050))

            "Oh Ra…" Bakura murmered, before speaking. "I'll be back Pharaoh."

 Yami no Malik only gaped, knowing his defeat was inevitable.

            "Let's do this, Yami." Yugi smiled, eyeing his counter part with pride.

            "You have to honors, Yugi." The king smiled kindly. The small boy nodded.

            "Angel of Mystics, I enable your special ability, and attack their life points directly!" Yugi yelled, causing the blue skinned creature to scream once more, throwing her chakra around the room. It glistened as it spun from her fingers in light speed. It severed the heads of the Golem and Necrofear's head before returning to the top left hand of the woman beast. With her bottom left hands flame, she lit the battle field on fire to destroy their life points.

            "And since this is a shadow game, I believe I take your lives." Yami chuckled, nodding to his creature to finish her job.

            "I'll return, Pharaoh." Bakura ground out, before the angel pointed her trident at her opponents, causing them both to scream in pain as they were both sent to the shadow realm. The demonic beast turned, looking at her master before disappearing, leaving a shivering light version of Bakura upon the ground, struggling for his life.

            "She took pity upon him." Yugi whispered after rushing to his friend's side.

            "He was lucky." the pharaoh finished as the realm of shadows descended from around the teenagers and returning them back with the others.

            "So… she's gone?" Trinity asked, still at her upset friend's side.

            "Yes." Yami nodded.

The ebony haired girl looked to the floor in regret.

            "Where do we go from here?" Melissa finally spoke up, looking up from her yami's chest.

            "A life of peace and no more drama." Yugi sighed, looking the girl directly in the eyes.

            "Yes. We'll perform an ancient ritual upon my wife's body, if that is okay with you, Ileana."

            "…" The blonde girl only nodded, not objecting to her new name.

Before the remaining teenagers eyes, the castle disappeared, leaving them in the brush of a forest clearing. Sita blinked, never once speaking in fear of what her half sister she had hated so much had turned into in front of her very eyes. Trinity finally noticed her reincarnations dreaded step sister across from her and turned.

            "You hated her, you threatened her and you wanted to kill her, yet she showed you nothing but kindness. Today you saw the beast she became, saw that she could have killed you in a very split second and she never harmed you. She did nothing but show you kindness. You're the wretch, bitch." Trinity spoke up uncharacteristically. Sita's eyes opened widely as she stared back into the same, familiar eyes of Trinity, or… what still remained of Sapna in the modern world she was stuck in.

            "…" The girl collapsed upon the ground, tears streaming down her golden face as her hands immediately went up to cover her shame.

            "Without Malik or Yami Malik's influence, she is nothing but lost." Yami said, attempting to comfort the silver haired boy in front of him and Yugi. "You must forgive her Trinity, for she is all you have left of Sapna, and vice versa."

 The new hikari looked over at the mess of Sita, and gently sat at her side.

            "There is no evil or harm here, all we can do now is comfort each other and start anew," the Pharaoh spoke wisely. He wasn't sure where to go from there, but he knew things would turn our alright. The wind picked up, tossing the spiky tri-colored strands of hair as he held the Mystic Sorceress' card in his hand.

Thank you…
