Like I said, this is the last chapter. I'll put up an epilogue in a few more days. No major couples actually named but I'll just say that this chapter has Téa/Seto, Mai/Joey, and Isis/Yami.

Chapter 13
The Fight of the World

"Well isn't that nice," drawled a voice from behind them. Captain John Reed of the Black Arrow and his crew of undead filled the cave. They teens jumped to their feet in surprise.

Reed stepped forward, "Just hand over the Eleman Items and the key and no one gets hurt."

"Over my dead body," Yami growled.

Yami Bakura glanced at him, "Actually Yami, you are dead."

"So?"

"So you just gave them free access."

"I did not!"

"Yes you did."

"Did not!"

"Did too."

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"SHUT UP BAKAS!"

Joey whispered to Tristan, "Ten bucks says Téa blows up again 'n 30 minutes."

"Twenty in 15 minutes," he replied.

"Deal."

Reed held up a hand, "If you don't hand them over by the time I count to five, my crew'll slaughter you."

"1 . . . 2 . . ."

Seto placed himself in front of Téa and Mokuba. Yami in front of Yugi and Isis. Joey in front of Serenity and Mai. Tristan and Duke back-to-back. Bakura behind Yami Bakura. Malik and Yami Malik side-by-side. Shadi near the temple.

"3 . . . 4 . . . 5 . . ."

Reed sighed, "I gave you choice and you took death, so be it." He waved his hand and the crew of undead sprinted forward.

Yami Bakura handed a knife to Bakura while Malik and Yami Malik unsheathed their rods. Seto, Mai, and Téa activated their Eleman Items and their eyes glowed white, gold, and pink. Serenity took out Bonney's Eleman Dagger and got into fight stance, much to Joey's frustration.

The two groups met head on. One of the pirates grabbed Mai. Seto aimed carefully freezing the walking skeleton. Mai kneed him in the gut and took Téa's offered hand. The brunette girl transferred some of her powers to the blonde and Mai phased out of the stiff grip.

Joey, Tristan, and Duke ended up back to back. Suddenly, four of the creatures flew through the air and slammed into the cave wall. Joey and Duke gaped at Tristan whose normally hazel brown eyes had turn a glowing bronze. His Eleman Chain had extended, forcing the pirates back.

A pirate which had been sneaking up behind them faltered and then fell to the ground split in two. The two already stunned boys gazed almost unseeingly at the green glowing eyed Serenity as she rushed off to help Mokuba at an inhuman speed.

Just then Yami's voice rang out, "Go to the Temple! Hurry!"

Two minutes later Joey and Duke slammed the temple doors closed. Yami turned to Shadi, "What do we do now?"

Shadi waved over to a large slab of stone in the middle of the room. "Place the key on the middle of the stone."

Serenity stepped forward and placed the ring Bonney had given her on the stone. The stone glowed a soft golden color.

Shadi nodded and took the ring off of the stone and said, "Now for the items."

Duke stepped forward and miraculously took of the gold headband and placed it in the middle of the stone. The stone glowed brighter and the headband vanished.

As Mai took off her chocker Joey turned to his younger sister.

"Serenity, where'd ya get that ring?" he asked.

Serenity gave a small sad smile, "From a friend."

Joey frowned but didn't say anything as it was his turn to hand over his Millennium – no, Eleman – Ringu.

After everyone but Mokuba and Téa had approached the stone Shadi held up his hand. "We need that last item before we go farther."

Bakura frowned, "How do we do that?"

Mai nodded in agreement, "You said Reed had to give up his Eleman Earring willingly but the way he's acting right now it doesn't seem likely he'll cooperate."

Shadi turned to Malik and his yami. "What are the properties of the Millennium Rod?"

Yami Malik sneered, "It'll make anyone do whatever you want."

Malik's eyes widened, "No," he whispered in realization, "it plants your thoughts in the victims mind making them believe it's their thoughts instead so they end up doing it."

"So if we use the Rod on Reed -" Yami began.

"He will give up his item willingly!" Isis exclaimed.

Yami Bakura frowned, "But how do you plan on getting Reed in here?"

"That is where Téa and Mokuba come in," Shadi said.

Seto scowled, "What does Téa and Mokuba have to do with this?!"

Shadi ignored him and asked, "What are their abilities?"

"Téa's is phasing through solid objects but . . . Mokuba hasn't ever activated his item," Duke said thoughtfully.

Shadi nodded, "Mokuba's ability is Summoning, a small form of telekinesis. All he has to do is focus on what he wants and it'll come."

"Like a person," Yugi murmured as he began to see what Shadi was getting at, "Mokuba summons Reed and Téa uses her phasing ability on the doors so Reed can enter the room. Malik or Yami Malik activate their Rod's power and Reed willingly places his item on the stone while his crew is stuck outside helpless."

"Right," Yami said taking charge, "Everyone else stay in the back, Kaiba and Yami Bakura stay next to the doors in case one of the . . . undead . . . things, try to enter during the phasing. Malik and Yami Malik, which ever of you manages to hit Reed first make sure he places his earring dead center of the stone. Then Téa and Mokuba will place their items on the stone, got it?"

Everyone nodded, though Yami Bakura and Yami Malik were somewhat reluctant, and got into place. Téa activated her Eleman item, her eyes glowing light blue, and transferred her powers through the doors. Mokuba concentrated carefully on John Reed's image and thought: Bring him here. Suddenly his eyes flashed open, revealing glowing purple eyes, as Captain John Reed flew through the doors. Malik managed to hit Reed focusing on the helpless captain placing his Eleman Earring on the stone.

Everyone watched in baited breath as Reed walked slowly forward and placed his item on the stone. The stone glowed even brighter and the earring vanished. Seto stepped forward and slammed his fist against Reed's temple hard enough to cause permanent brain damage as well as effectively knocking the man unconscious.

There was a loud sigh of relief as Mokuba set his armband on the stone and Téa walked forward.

"This is it," Yami murmured unconsciously holding Isis tightly against him. Yami Bakura placed a comforting hand on Bakura's shoulder. Mokuba clung tightly to Seto's waist. Mai gripped Joey's shirt and squeezed her eyes closed as Joey wrapped his arms around her.

Téa placed her Eleman Bracelet on the stone and ran back to Seto's open arms. The stone glowed brighter and brighter until the group had to shut their eyes against the light. Just as the light reached its peak three men passionately kissed the women in their arms and whispered, "I will always love you."

History was rewritten . . .

Did ya like?! My favorite part was the end.

Well, next is the epilogue and then this story is finished. I'll go back an edit but in all it's done. And I don't plan on a sequel. I've got a few other Yu-Gi-Oh stories on my laptop, I'm deciding which I should put up next, though it be until I've finished writing my Digimon story (it's almost done as well so don't worry).

I just want to thank you all who have read my story and reviewed. It means a lot to me. I guess I'll see you next time. Ja ne! (Later)
