Team Zero: Crystals
Disclaimer-For last time in this story.
Chapter 38: End of the Chaos.
Reku slowly opened his eyes. He was laying in a large green meadow. Curled up in his arms still sleeping was Akina. Reku moved his eyes around to the surroundings. Flowers were blooming and small woodland creatures were running around. Large trees casted shadow all around them.
Reku hated to but he slowly rolled over to sit up. He saw that he wasn't the only one awake. All of the others were still sleeping but Order stood tall staring over a hill side. She turned and smiled warmly at Reku.
Reku moved slowly and got up to his feet. He walked over to were Order was standing. She watched him the whole way then turned to face off into the distance.
"Well Reku Yamashita. Warrior of the Ruby. You have beaten the chaos."
"So." He said as he finally walked up next to her. "It wasn't all just a dream."
"If it was a dream then you have some powerful dreams." Order chuckled and looked at Reku who was just confused.
"What?"
"Your final attack, did that to my castle." Order giggled and pointed to were she was looking before. The was a large pile of smoking rubble there. Standing proudly in the center of the rubble was the large ultimate crystal.
"Wow, I did that?"
/Flashback/
/"Chaos." Reku brought his hand down slowly in front of his face. Snapping it out he pointed to Chaos. "This is where it all ends. You have tormented the earth for too long. Go Android Dragon Tyrant God Crystal Mode! Blast the living hell out of this ass wipe! God Crystal Blast!"
The monster hovered up into the air slightly off the ground and curled up into a ball. Pulling its legs and arms in tight the monster created a barrier ball that shimmered of all the colors of the crystals that were used on him. Jerking up, it spread out its limbs shooting a blast of light that just engulfed the entire shadow realm.
All that was heard was Chaos screaming like a mad man then, silence./
/End Flashback/
"Your final attack destroyed my castle."
"I guess I did." Reku said amazed. He looked over his shoulder at his friends who were still asleep.
Ronin and Sachiko were like Reku and Akina were. They were laying in each others arms. Gurabe was asleep up on the branch of a tree, limbs sprawled over the side. Ryokurio and Kai were sleeping siting up against the tree below Gurabe. Joe, Kevin, and Usami all lay in a straight line in the field. Akina was rolling over to and waking up. Slowly she got to her feet and wandered over to Reku. She used her last energy and jumped into his arms. They engaged in a long passioned kiss.
Order just smiled and turn to look at her former castle. She just nodded her head and smiled again as she saw a multitude of colors from out of the corner of her eye.
Reku stood dumbfounded as seven colored lights were hovering between him and Akina. The lights stured up the rest of the group who looked at them just like Reku was.
The ruby colored light flew down and collided with Reku's deck. The purplish white one zipped off and into Akina's deck. Sapphire colored light went to Ronin's deck as did the steelish gray light to Joe and the jade light to Kevin. Gurabe watched as the amber colored light hit his deck.
The solid black light just hovered slowly down towards the ground. Reku reached out and grabbed it with his hand. He felt the energy as it transformed into a Duel Monster card. It became the Onyx Crystal card.
"Why didn't this return to Chaos?" Reku asked turning to Order.
"When you blasted him, you triggered the natural power of the shadow realm. Now his soul is lost and his body is completely destroyed because of that last attack." Order turned around and walked to him.
"I am sorry Order. Your X-husband..." Reku started but Order shook her head.
"Don't be. He was a jerk in when we mettoo. He got what was coming to him." Slowly a tear rolled down her cheek as she said this. She quickly wiped it away.
"So what will happen to the Onyx Crystal?" Akina looked at her then back to the crystal card. "I mean it no longer has an owner."
"The path of a crystal card cannot be changed. If it were fated to be elsewhere now, then it would be. For now though it isn't so its path is here with you." Order said as the rest of the group walked up and surrounded them.
"And your castle?" Reku asked as he pocketed the card. "Do you need a place to live?"
"I do, but it is here. Look, the monsters of this world know that what you did you had to in order to save them all. They are more than happy to help rebuild our losses for such a great gain." Order pointed as monsters flew over head. Hoards of monsters were marching towards the rubble. They covered every inch of the ground. "They do thank you Reku for what you and your friends have done. But for now you must all return to your world."
"So..., are we done with all this weird stuff?" Ronin asked before Order did anything.
"That I cannot say. If destiny requires you to be back in the fray than you will get a very clear message." She smiled and cupped her hands together. A small orb of light formed and started spreading outwards engulfing them all.
"Well, I can't say that I have had such a great time. I Reku Yamashita, the worst duelist in this entire town one year, the best in the entire world...two worlds the next year. I couldn't have done it without my friends though. Without them I wouldn't have even come close to beating Chaos."
Nighttime pan of the city as lights are shining brightly on the sky above. A zoom in on the hospital showing Verion crouching by Yukio's bedside. In Yukio's lifeless hand were a deck of cards, his deck of cards.
"Verion returned Yukio's deck to him and then went home. He wasn't sure if what happened, had actually happened. That isn't so bad though. If he doesn't believe it then he has less to worry about in his life.
"Tal wandered into the shadows and was never seen again. No one knows what happened to him. He was a strong and courageous man who was a great duelist. I hope that we will see him again one day but I just don't know if we will.
"Gurabe also disappeared but he pops his head in every once and a while. I think that he enjoys being around us but he just doesn't want to admit it. I mean a bunch of humans like us. Who would ever want to be with humans like us? But no, I do think he enjoys our company now.
"Life went back to normal soon after. Nothing but the fact that we had just saved the world from impending doom. Kevin and Joe both had to return home. They had only come here for one reason, and that was to challenge me. They never expected to stay and be apart of this whole mess. I personally think Usami is the most torn up about Kevin's leave. I still think that something is going on there but I am a guy and I don't know too much about women.
"Speaking of which. Now Ronin and Sachiko aren't so jealous of me and Akina. They have each other. It is strange that our little group has all gotten together. I didn't see it coming. I feel that we all belong together and it couldn't have fallen more perfect.
"I had never though about it but I should have bet to free all those poor trapped souls in the shadow realm. Everyone that worked for Chaos has suffered the price by falling into the darkest shadows. It really is sad for them. They were all noble souls I bet that only were confused. I know Yukio was because without him, Team Zero would have never become good enough to deal with this threat.
"Order's castle was rebuilt in no time. This time though they no longer had the oncoming threat of Chaos coming. Even though Order or Kimberly denies it. I think that see was sadden by the passing of Chaos or Chuck. They had been together once and they wouldn't have been in this world of free choice without some feelings. Then again, I start to wonder about Order. She feels to me like she is not part of this world...anymore. Maybe her and Chaos are closer now then when they fought in hand to hand combat.
"As for my deck. I am strongly considering a freaking Polymerization card. That Android Dragon Tyrant was the bomb. I had no idea that such a monster could come out of my deck. Order did once say that my fate was sealed when I finally made the destined deck I was ment to have. I guess that deck contained Mech Dragon Blaster, Jinzo, and Barrel Dragon. What a turn out. Mr. Yoshiharu had given it tome as a gift for being on Team Zero. Later we find out that both Mr. Yoshiharu and Mr. Hiroshi were watching over us. That was pretty freaky of those two old geezerds to do.
"I think that that covers all the lose ends. That is hopefully the end to all the hell we were put through. At the same time, I hope it's not. Me and my friends had one hell of an adventure an now that it is all done with, my life is pretty boring. I wouldn't trade it for anything. This is one screwed up world I live in and it is great to be a part of it. Order did tell me though that there is more happening in the world that just isn't big media news. I guess, like Order said, if we are fated to be called back to battle, we will. I know I will take up the arms and prepare to battle. I am also sure that my friends will be right there with me. We wouldn't miss it... ...,for the world."

Ta da! I have done it. Team Zero: Crystals is complete. Look! I am one chapter longer than Duelists. I am so proud of myself. I didn't even plan it to be like that. Well. I know that it is a happy day for me. Here you people go. This is the whole of my story. The destiny of my warriors of the crystal. Reku, Ronin, Akina, and Sachiko are all sharing a special place in my heart for dealing with all the hell they went through. I also can't forget Joe, Kevin, Kai, Ryokurio, Usami, Gurabe, and Order. Even Chaos would fit on that list. I know my story isn't all that great but it was my first. I do have one more planned though. John, Darksoulki and Blue Eyes White Knight. Do you mind if Kevin, Kai and Joe come back for the final of my Team Zero legacy? And to any other reviewer. Any one character you wish to add to my greatest first attempt at being a writer? Send them in with your final review of Crystals. This next story will be based off my personal favorite thing in the entire Yu-gi-oh world. I won't tell you what it is but I bet you can guess from the name itself. Keep your eyes peeled and be on the watch for Team Zero: Orichalcos!
Now I am also planning another fanfic that I might write along side Orichalcos so keep your eyes peeled for that one too. That is if you like my writings. I believe, unless I change my mind, it will be called: Last Guard of the Spirits. Team Zero has been great for me but I am hoping to branch out. I do thank you for making Team Zero so special to me.
