Well, this is it. The final chapter is here. I only regret not having more chapters for you. So, without further ado, here's the final chapter of Island of Nightmares. Thank you for reading and reviewing my fic!

Chapter 16: Final Counterstrike - The Attack of the Undead God!

"Now it ends for you fools. I'll flip my face down monster, the Magician of Faith! Her effect allows my to take a magic card out of my Graveyard. And look what I found. It's Monster Reborn. Let's take it for a little spin, shall we?" Superior swiped the card through the reader.

"Not this time! Activate Spell Shield Type 8!" Yami Jason declared. "At the cost of a magic card discarded from my hand, your Monster Reborn will become useless. So find something better to do."

"That's just fine," Superior said, holding back his frustration. "I'll just place a card in defense mode and end my turn."

"Now, It's my turn, and I'm not going to be going so easy on you. I'll sacrifice my Gemini Elf to summon Cyber Tech Alligator (2500/1500) in attack mode."

The elves disappeared and Jason's mechanical monster appeared in their place. The beast spread its wings and roared.

"Now, attack the Magician of Faith!"

Cyber Tech Alligator swooped over and slashed through the Magician with its claws.

"My turn is over."

"You'll pay for that. I'll just put a monster in defense mode and end my turn," Superior said.

"I draw. I'll set a monster face down in defense mode and use Beast of Gilfer to attack the monster on the right!" Yami Yugi said.

His beast attacked with its blazing flames and engulfed the hologram. When the fire died down, a strange, white, puffy creature bounced up and down on the field.

"What is that thing?!"

"That is my invincible Marshmallon (300/500). It is a very absorbent creature that takes all attacks. But that's not all it does. Marshmallon's special effect does 1000 points of damage to my opponent when it's attacked while face down. And since both of you are my opponents, you both take the damage."

(Yugi: 2800/ Jason: 6100) (Lord Superior: 6900)

"Your creature may be not be destroyable, but it is weak, and it can't do anything to us. So I'll just end my turn," Yugi said.

"Marshmallon may not be able to beat you, but I have a card in my hand that can. But for now, I'll just set a card face down and end my turn."

"You're all talk, and it's time for me to shut you up. I summon Gantu the Tortured Demon (0/1900) in attack mode," Yami Jason said.

The shadows parted and a large cloaked demon rose from the ground. A deformed arm wrapped in flames stuck out from the cloak.

"Now for my monster's ability. When Gantu is summoned, I get to destroy one monster on the field and do life point damage equal to the monster's attack power. So let's see how invincible your precious Marshmallon really is."

Gantu reached out and grabbed Superior's monster with its arm. The demon, then, squeezed the puff creature until it shattered.

(Yugi: 2800/ Jason: 6100) (Lord Superior: 6600)

"No more Marshmallon," Yami Jason said with a smirk.

"There's always Marshmallon. Especially with my trap card: Celestial Reinforcements. It allows me to special summon two light monsters from my deck or hand when one of my monsters is destroyed by another monster's effect. So I'll play two more Marshmallon monsters, in defense mode," Superior said as two more of the puffy creatures materialized on the field.

Yami Jason's Millennium Ring gave him another twinge as he realized what Superior was trying to do.

"You won't do it, Superior. I won't let you summon that God card!" Yami Jason yelled.

Yami Yugi looked over, then, remembered that one of the Rare Hunters gave Superior the card before the duel began.

"It's too late fool. End your turn so that I may destroy the two of you with the power of God!"

Yami Jason reluctantly ended his turn, and Superior began his with more laughter.

"Now it's time. You two will know the true meaning of power! I'll sacrifice-"

"Not this time! Reveal trap card: Cleansing North Wind! It destroys all defense monsters on the opponent's field for a cost of 1000 life points," Yami Yugi said.

(Yugi: 1800/ Jason: 6100) (Lord Superior: 6600)

The two Marshmallons disintegrated in the winds, leaving Superior with only one monster.

"All you've done is stall for time. I'll end my turn."

'He's right. All I have done is buy time. But if I can draw the right card, we can turn this whole duel around. Heart of the cards, guide me.'

Yami Yugi closed his eyes, then, drew. He looked at the card, then, smiled.

"Superior, this shadow duel will come to an end now. Activate Exchange! This card forces both players to give their opponent one card in their hand. So show me your hand."

Superior growled as he fanned out his hand in front of Yugi. The pharaoh took Anubis from his hand and Superior took Celtic Guardian from Yugi's hand.

"Now, I'll activate my other face down card: Change of Heart, and I'll take control of your face down monster."

Superior screamed out as he realized that Yugi had everything.

"It's time, Superior. I'll sacrifice Beast of Gilfer, your face down monster and my face down monster to summon Resurrection of Anubis (0/0)!"

All three monsters dissolved in black flames as Yami Yugi's Millennium Puzzle and Yami Jason's Millennium Ring glowed brightly. The shadows rose up around Yugi and Jason as sparks shot from Yugi's duel gauntlet. A blast of lightning erupted from the shadows and struck the two duelists. The demonic dog god materialized in front of Superior, its teeth bared. Its bandages flapped in the god's force as it roared an ear-piercing roar. Yugi and Jason sat high atop the god's shoulders and looked down at Superior.

"This can't be! I cannot be defeated so easily by a bunch of kids!"

"Oh but you can. Yugi, do the honors," Yami Jason said with a smirk.

"I will. Anubis, I invoke your power of Spiritual Absorption!"

The spirits of every monster in the duel rose from the graveyard and incorporated themselves into Anubis' being, making the god stronger.

"Now, we end the nightmare! Anubis (18400/18400), destroy Superior and send him to the shadows!" Yami Yugi and Yami Jason said together.

The god moved forward with its scythe and slashed Superior with a great and terrible force, sending the Rare Hunter crashing to the floor.

(Yugi: 1800/ Jason: 6100) (Lord Superior: 0)

"No! I refuse to be defea-"

The man instantly disappeared in the shadows. The darkness dissipated and Yugi and Jason returned to normal.

"So now what?" little Yugi asked.

"My guess is we won the tournament together, which means we should be getting prize money," Jason replied.

Their conversation was disturbed by the sound of an alarm. A computerized voice spoke.

"Warning. Intruder presence. Core neutralized. Fortress unstable. Energy core will self destruct in five minutes."

Yugi looked over and saw one of the Rare Hunters with his finger on a button. His face twisted into a smile as he ran out of the room.

"We've got to get out of here!" Yugi said.

"Just a minute. This loser owes me, Shadow Realm or not," Jason said as he walked over to a console.

He turned on the computer and hacked into Superior's bank accounts. Yugi remained silent as Jason worked on transferring the money to his bank account.

"Okay, done! Now, let's get the hell out of here!"

The two ran back out of the room and down the hallway. They got to the elevator and stepped into it. Yugi pressed the up button and the shaft went up. As soon as they reached the top, several duelists awaited them.

"You've got to go, now! This place as going to explode!" Jason yelled.

The duelists laughed at him, saying that he was only trying to get them to leave. The computer's voice over the loudspeaker disturbed their laughter.

"Self destruct in ten...nine...eight...seven..."

The computer counted down and the duelists all scrambled. They ran as fast as they could to a safe distance, where they observed the explosion.

"So, you little freaks were saying about me being a liar?" Jason gloated.
-------------------------------------------------

Jason looked out over the side of the boat at the sunset in the water as he left Victory Island. The whole day had been insane for him and for everyone else. Yugi walked up to him.

"Hey Jason. I didn't know that you would be on this boat."

"Well, I am. Tell me, how's Joey?"

"He'll be fine. He's just sleeping in his cabin. And Bakura, too. He's especially happy to be rid of his Yami."

"This has been some day, huh, Yugi?"

"Yeah, it has. It's a good thing that you did hack into those computer files to get your money moved into your bank account. The police were able to track it and get to the island in time to tell all the duelists what was really going on. By the way, how did you know how to hack into those files?"

"My friend is a computer geek. He loves hacking into stuff. He taught me most of what I know, like how to move things from one file to another, or how to make a virus. Plus, in my spare time, I study that stuff so that one day, I can have a nice cushy job." Jason continued under his breath. "...As a high tech thief."

"And your parents are okay with this?" Yugi asked.

"My mom doesn't even know what day it is. And my dad divorced my mom five years ago."

Yugi stood silently for a moment, looking at the floor. He wished he didn't ask that question about Jason's parents.

"Don't worry about it, Yugi," Jason said, sensing the boy's distress. "That was a while ago. After today, I feel good. For the first time in a long time, my story has a happy ending. I got a bunch of rare cards, I have this Millennium Item, and I'm a millionaire. What more could there be to this story?"

Yugi swallowed the lump in his throat as he managed to tell Jason what more he had to do.

"Your god card, Jason."

"What about it?"

"You have to destroy it."

"Why?"

"For the sake of mankind. You know that as long as you hold that god card, evil forces will try to take it from you. And I know that you probably want to fight them all, but think about the innocent lives that could be lost in that fighting," Yugi begged.

Jason thought for a moment, then, pulled the card out of his pocket. He looked at it, before tearing it into pieces and throwing the pieces overboard.

"You did the right thing, Jason."

"Don't remind me. I already miss that card."

The two continued to stare out at the horizon, each one wondering what would be next for their adventure in duel monsters.

Epilogue: Mystery of the New Life

Jason walked down the street. The sun beamed on his face as he whistled his favorite tune. The Millennium Ring gleamed in the sunlight. He stopped for a second to look at some children playing in a playground. Jason mused over his youth, then, continued on his way to the bank to collect his money.

'Gosh, with this money, who knows what I can do. First I'm going to buy a new pair of sneakers, then, I'm going to buy a car, maybe a big house to go with that car. But first, I have to get mom some help.'

He walked along until he remembered something.

'I've got a match with Henry later on today. He keeps talking so much trash. Well, let's see how much he talks when he sees this.'

Jason pulled the card out of his pocket and stared at it. The piercing red eyes seemed to stare back at him. The holographic card shone in the light. Jason concentrated and the strange hieratic text on the card translated for him. He read it aloud.

"Resurrection of Anubis. 'All kneel before this undead controller of life and death. His scythe can destroy souls.' Ha! Yugi thought that I was really going to get rid of you? He must be kidding. I got to admit, though. That counterfeit that I ripped up sure had him fooled. Let the evil forces come. Me and the power of the Millennium Ring will stop them!"

Jason slipped the card back into his pocket and continued to walk, unaware that he was being watched by a dark figure.

"I will have my revenge, one way or another."
