Dragon Emblem

bijoukaiba: Finally. I guess it's about time I got to finishing this story, eh? To all my reviewers, you've been a big help. Dragon Emblem's gonna turn two soon! opens up a gift from a random person Potty-training pants?

Although I started out proud of this fanfic, I was a naive child back then, only around the age of 13. The places and characters are WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY out of character, and I mostly threw in all that cursing to try show everyone that Yu-Gi-Oh! has been edited SEVERELY by 4Fags. I always pictured this in my mind as (braces for laughter) a webfilm, so I somehow ended up having the characters using dialogue to describe the scenery. Man, I WAS such a loser. Now that I'm going on fifteen, I'm not as stupid as I once was, lol. I've also gotten to be a YAOI fangirl, beware my bared teeth, lol! I also wrote this because I used to hate Pegasus... but now I'm quite the fangirl of Pegasus-sama too, lol! I love him in the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! with his English comments!

Anyways, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, Rurouni Kenshin, or Fire Emblem.

Chapter 10: Triumph of the Dragon

Mokuba and Serenity watched as Seto flew into the portal that the masked figure had opened.

"That idiot!" Serenity shouted, as Mokuba finally picked the lock, setting her free. "He can't face that guy alone with a dragon!"

"Yeah..." Mokuba said, his voice trailing off. "... but he has a sword, too." He finished with a smirk. Serenity looked at him as if he were stupid.

"A little insurance couldn't hurt." she said.

As she crawled out of the cage she had been in, feeling like a stray dog, she pulled out a communicator and called the IDA.

"General Espa?"

The voice on the other side came through rather fuzzy, but still clear enough to be understood.

"Serenity? Is that you? Marvelous! I guess that means that Kaiba was successful after all..."

"Listen to me," she said, her voice taking on a serious tone. "You need to send someone over here. Now. Kaiba's doing something to risk the fate of us all, and I really don't want to risk more people getting hurt."

"What! Just what is that moron planning to do!"

"He's fighting against some villain..." she said. "With only a sword and a dragon."

"Kaiba, that idiot! Is he trying to get us all killed? I'll send someone over quickly! Espa out!"

"Serenity out!" She clicked off her communicator. "Don't worry. Someone's on the way to help your brother."

As they gazed up at the sky that was growing blacker and blacker, Mokuba spoke.

"That's good. Because I have a feeling Seto's going to need all the help he can get."

All around Japan, people gazed up into the sky and wondered what the black miasma was. From the poor couple Seto had assisted when he fought Morpho, to the Nikotayo tribe, to even Wooly.

"Go on, Seto!" the mammoth trumpeted. "Give them what for!"

As Kenshin and Marth gazed out at the blackening sky, they only had one person on their minds.

Seto-san...

The scenery resembled a pitch-black night sky, with stars of light soaring all around Seto. Fearing he was in space, he held his breath tightly until he couldn't take it anymore and inhaled. Oxygen, the gas of life, seemed to be abundant in this dark void. Seto gazed around in surprise. Although his enemy could be anywhere, the space-like atmosphere was rather pretty. It was ominous yet peaceful at the same time.

"Looking for me?" Came an all-too-familiar voice. Seto glared at the source of the voice, the masked figure. "You."

The dark orange mask with the wild black stripes spoke again. "That's all you have to say to me? I feel so unloved... after all..." The mask flipped over to reveal the true face of his enemy... it looked like a large, floating version of Pegasus's head and two hands levitating in midair, as if from nowhere.

Seto gazed at it in shock, then remembered about what Wooly had said. This must be the ultimate extent of his shadow magic crap...

"I've been looking forward to this day," Pegasus continued, "And seeing you again, Kaiba-boy!"

"Pegasus!" Seto snarled.

"And now," Pegasus continued, a wicked smile curving its way onto his face, "to destroy the IDA! Who better to start with than my old enemy, ne? Say hello to a new world order!" With that, he... flipped faces to reveal the masked figure again.

Seto gripped his sword tightly as he leaned forward expectantly on his dragon. I've got to stop him!

He tapped his dragon on the back of the head, as if signaling an attack. It opened its mouth and fired a blast against the mask's forehead, left of a large red jewel in the middle of its forehead. The attack seemed to leave it unfazed.

Suddenly, the mask seemed to open its mouth. What was it doing? It began firing a series of bright, neon pale-blue rings at Seto, like a supersonic wavelength.

It's just a sound wave... Seto thought to himself. What's the worst it could do?

His judgment was misleading as the rings struck the dragon. It roared out in pain. The Blue Eyes flew out of harm's way, but not before a ring managed to slice Seto's left cheek heavily. He could feel hot blood coursing down his cheek. Angrily, he wiped it away as his dragon dodged left and right until the mask stopped firing. Seto issued an attack again, this time the White Lightning blast striking the mask in the eye. It seemed to glow red, which Seto was hoping was a good sign. Two more times he hit it, until it was reduced to a faint, dull red glow, with cracks running through it.

I think that's a good sign, Seto thought as the mask fired out more rings at him. When the volley had ceased, he attack each eye three times. A similar effect happened and the mask stopped moving. Seto perked up.

Is it... over? An evil laugh filled the air. Not quite.

Pegasus flipped himself over, raising his left hand (Seto's right) into the air. It also had a similar gem on it. The dragon fired at it, managing to hit it twice before it pummeled powerfully against the team of man and beast. Seto found himself struggling to pull himself back into a sitting position, before finally succeeding in doing so. Pegasus lifted his other hand and Seto shot 3 blasts from his dragon, but this time it didn't seem as effective, Seto noticed, as his dragon swerved free from Pegasus's grasp. Suddenly, a multitude of cards flew up behind Pegasus.

That's truly an extent to his obsession...

Suddenly, the cards began hurtling at Seto. Instinctively, the dragon began firing away, burning most cards before they could get near Seto. However, one card got away.

It's just a card, Seto thought, reaching up a gloved hand to block it. Big mistake. It was as sharp as a well, sword, and it sliced a stinging gash between Seto's index finger and thumb, shredding part of the glove as it went. Another card soared past and did worse, slicing a cut into his cheek through his other scar from the sound wave, hacking in almost a 45 degree angle.

"Hmm," Pegasus said with a hint of insult in his voice. "I wonder where else I've seen a scar that ugly?"

Seto traced a finger across the scar gingerly, wiping away some of the blood trickling there. From the way it felt, the scar seemed to be in a cross shape, just like the one his sensei had.

"Shut your mouth!" Seto snarled, hurt. He had the dragon fire four bursts of energy into Pegasus's right hand, causing the hand to wilt like a rose in winter. Pegasus lifted his other hand in reply, preparing to strike when the dragon shot another blast and destroyed the gem, getting a slight wince from Pegasus.

That's gotta stop him. It just has to!

Pegasus flipped back to the masked side of his head again. (((A/N: StarFox fans, anything seem familiar? lol)))

Kaiba shot at the gem on his head, hitting it once, twice, three times before a volley of rings came hurtling out at him. The dragon swerved out of range, before firing two more attacks at the gem in the mask's forehead. The gem, instead of cracking further, exploded. Good sign! Seto thought.

The dragon hurtled two more attacks at each eye, before the rings began firing at him again. Again, the dragon dodged before finishing the job. Seto had a feeling that he was still fighting, but he still kept hoping that each attack would mean the defeat of Pegasus.

Pegasus returned into view, lifting his hand to swipe at Seto. The dragon seemed to be getting stronger during the fight and fired four times at his hand before dodging the attempted blow. The dragon repeated the process for Pegasus's other hand. Once again, after dodging another swipe of hand, Pegasus began firing cards at Seto. The dragon tore through all of them, but just in case, Seto ducked closer against the back of the Blue Eyes. As Pegasus lifted his left hand into the air, the dragon fired twice against the hand's gem, detonating it. Pegasus winced again, this time it was a little bit more obvious to Seto.

I really am weakening him! Seto thought as the dragon then proceeded to destroy the other gem. This time, the hand wilted over instead of exploding. Pegasus cried out.

Seto felt his smile widen into a smile. This is it! It's all over!

"Don't get too happy," replied the enemy. "It's going to get sucked away in the end!"

Pegasus opened his mouth and began to breathe deeply.

Fragments of burning cards were being pulled into his mouth and Seto soon noticed that faintly, Pegasus was getting closer and closer.

"Wait a minute," Seto turned around to see the wings of the dragon flapping as powerfully as they could, but to no avail. It took only four seconds for Seto to put two-and-two together.

Pegasus was acting like a human vacuum. He was trying to suck them up!

"No!" Seto shouted. "I won't go down like this! I'm so close! It's too humiliating!"

As Seto got near enough to touch Pegasus, he heard a blasting sound and a shout from Pegasus, who stopped inhaling. Looking up, he saw a jet carrying the IDA logo flying overhead. A ring from his communicator caught his attention. Turning it on quickly, he listened to the voice on the other side. It was from the pilot of the jet.

"Nice time jet, ne? Hey Kaiba!" Came his voice. Kaiba was startled yet relieved at the same time. "Different time, different place, and you still need Yugi's help! Great to see ya, buddy! Leave your communicator on, I got a strategy for ya."

The dragon flew backwards, a safe distance from Pegasus, before Yugi spoke again.

"Hey, Kaiba! I'm gonna fly by and apply a layer of liquid nitrogen as I go! Based on the energy in your dragon's attacks, it should freeze Pegasus and give you a pathway!"

"Pathway to where?"

"To Pegasus, you! If you've studied swordsmanship as much as you've said you have, then you should be able to use a powerful attack on him!"

"What's Pegasus's strength looking at right now?" Kaiba asked, as his dragon swerved an attack from a barrage of cards.

"He's only got a fourth of his maximum power left," Yugi replied. "Depending on what you use, you may be able to take him down within a couple moves or so! I'm flying by now, go for it!"

As Yugi flew overhead, Kaiba could see a blue mist falling before him. He kicked against his dragon and had it fire a blast of energy right at Pegasus's face. Sure enough, It froze immediately, all the way to Pegasus, who had been stopped.

Seto leapt off his dragon, communicator strapped to his belt. He was hesitant as he landed on the frozen surface, unsure if he would freeze up as well or go sliding off into space, but it felt almost like tiled floor under his feet.

"What move should I use?" Kaiba asked, brandishing his sword.

"Anything powerful!"

Kaiba smirked. Way ahead of you. He ran forward towards Pegasus.

"Hiten Mitsurugi Style... Ama-Kakeru-Ryu-No-Hirameki!" The sword struck Pegasus powerfully and he cried out.

"How was that?" Kaiba asked. "Awesome!" Yugi replied. "That took out one twelfth of his power! Two more attacks like that and it's over!"

Kaiba backed up again before getting a good running start.

"Hiten Mitsurugi Style... Ama-Kakeru-Ryu-No-Hirameki!"

Pegasus yelled in pain. "Great! He's down to his final twelfth of energy! Finish him off, Seto!"

"I can't believe it!" Seto cried out in pride as he ran back, preparing for his final attack.

I can't believe this! Pegasus thought. No, no, no! It won't end like this! With a surge of energy, despite the pain, Pegasus swept his hand forward and caught Seto before he could finish his attack. "...Ama-Kake-"

He clenched his fist as tightly as he could. Seto felt as though his ribs were being dissolved into dust. Pegasus threw him against the pathway. Seto hit the ground, then flipped over twice painfully onto his back.

"Kaiba!" came the voice from the communicator. He had landed on it and partially cracked the speaker on it, so Yugi's voice came back with crackling static. Kaiba lifted his head for a moment, seeing Pegasus's smiling face floating before him, then let it fall back against the path. His dragon had flown over and began nudging him gently.

Enraged, Yugi took up the blasters in his hands and began firing at Pegasus. After a barrage of ten shots, his hand exploded at last.

"Big deal," Pegasus commented, rolling his eyes. "It's over. I've won. Kaiba's down for good."

It can't be... Kaiba thought, forcing himself to sit up again. He slowly stood up, trembling slightly as he did. Wincing at a bullet-shot sensation in his knee, he shook his head. Seto could feel his newly acquired scar burning slightly. He picked his sword up off the ground and stared at his reflection. It was as if his face had merged with Kenshin's.

"It's time to set things right." Seto said, gripping his sword tighter than ever.

"Listen, Yugi-boy," Pegasus continued. "Victory has spoken to me today. I am the best today. And it will continue to be that way forever."

"Really?" Shouted Yugi within his jet so Pegasus could hear him. "I'm hearing the voice of victory myself today too! You wanna hear it?"

Pegasus frowned as he listened carefully.

"Hiten Mitsurugi Style..." A faint voice said behind him. No! It can't be! Pegasus turned around just in time to see Seto leaping towards him, sword in hand.

"AMA-KAKERU-RYU-NO-HIRAMEKI!"

It seemed as it if was all a dream when Seto landed after his final attack. Pegasus bore a large slash across his face. He climbed upon his dragon and they flew off, just as Pegasus gave a final cry of "NOOOOOOOO!" before at last, he too exploded in a beautiful array of flames and red lights.

Seto turned around behind him, watching the final effects of the explosion. Yugi's voice rang out clearly in joy through his communicator.

"YOU DID IT! Kaiba, that was- you were- that final attack- WOW! You are a true hero! I'm making sure word of this gets out to General Espa!"

Yugi flew off in his jet, Kaiba waving after him as he went, flying towards a small rift in the darkness. At last, it was over.

The light had triumphed over darkness at last.

Mokuba and Serenity watched as the darkness around them evaporated.

"What's going on?" Serenity asked.

"One of them has to have won," Mokuba replied. "I just hope..."

A roar filled their ears as they gazed upwards, overjoyed at the sight before them.

Seto and the Blue Eyes landed and they ran towards the new hero happily.

"BIG BROTHER! YOU DID IT!"

"We never doubted you!" Serenity said with a smile as the brothers embraced.

Seto hoisted his brother onto the dragon.

"Thanks," he said, before holding out his hand to her.

Smiling, she took it and climbed onto the dragon with his help. Clinging to Seto tightly, the Kaiba brothers and Serenity flew back to the Kamiya Dojo.

Yahiko and Roy were practicing their moves with each other when a scream caught their attention.

"Megumi!" they shouted, running over. Soon they were screaming too, at the sight of a large dragon landing before them.

Marth, Oguma, Sanosuke, and Kenshin raced outside.

"Roy! Yahiko! What's wrong?" Marth shouted, before noticing the dragon. As he drew his sword, he heard a friendly voice.

"Relax, this dragon's on our side!" Seto said, leaping off before lending a hand to Serenity. Sheida and Kaoru, also hearing the familiar voice, came outside too.

"Serenity!" Kaoru exclaimed, hugging her. "You're okay!"

"Thanks to Seto I am!" she said, returning the embrace. Sheida patted his shoulder. "Way to go, hot stuff."

Seto couldn't help but grin. At last, the face he had been searching for emerged amidst his cheering squad.

"Kenshin."

"Seto-san." The rurouni stepped closer to Seto. "I never doubted you. You truly have found the heart of swordsmanship."

"I would be nothing without you." Seto admitted, gazing down at the ground shyly. Kenshin was silent for a moment. Seto returned his gaze to him, who smiled like a proud father.

Kenshin stepped even closer and embraced Seto, tears in the rurouni's eyes.

"I would be nothing without you too, Seto." He said, hugging him closer. Marth found himself wiping away a tear proudly, before shrugging and embracing Seto and Kenshin as well.

Kaiba didn't care how awkward he felt. He returned the embrace to both of them. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Roy, Yahiko, and Mokuba exchanging hugs as well.

"I hate to break up this reunion," came a female voice, "But Kaiba's wanted back at the IDA hall."

It was Mai, finally free of her wheelchair.

"Espa wants a word with you," she commented. "So let's go. I got the aircraft here and Yugi's waiting to fly us off." Kaiba looked at his dragon.

"Will Blue Eyes be able to go with us?"

"Ne, I suppose so. As long as it doesn't 'go' on the ship, I'm all right with it."

Seto looked at Mokuba and Serenity, walking off with Mai. Impatiently, she turned around.

"Yo! Kaiba! You coming or not!"

Kaiba frowned for a moment, before jogging back to the dojo.

"Seto?" Marth asked.

"I'm not sure how much space there'll be, but..." He sighed for a moment. "Kenshin, Marth, you guys are coming too."

Kenshin and Marth looked back at the others.

"It's all right! We don't mind!" Oguma replied cheerfully.

"Have a great time you three!" Megumi spoke in a sing-song voice, annoying Kaoru and Sheida to high heaven.

As Seto and his sensei boarded the aircraft, Kenshin asked Seto a question.

"So, we're going back to the future?"

"Yeah... but I'm wondering what Espa wants to see me about..."

When at last the time-traveling aircraft landed in modern day Japan, it gave a slight sputter.

"Gotta remind Espa to get that fixed," Yugi commented to Mai. She nodded. "It probably won't take too many trips after this." She agreed. Rebecca came running up to them.

"Hey Mokuba! Hey guys!"

"Rebecca?" Serenity asked. Suddenly, the younger girl began pushing against them immediately. "No time! Espa wants to see you right now! Just go, don't worry about getting all dressy looking!"

The seven heroes walked into the main hall, where a large party seemed to be held. Every member of the IDA was there, from Rex Raptor and Insector Haga to Mako Tsunami and Honda Hiroto. Rebecca gently shoved Seto towards the stage and nodded for the others to follow.

"Go on," she said, "Espa's waiting!"

Silence filled the area in respect for the new hero and the General.

"Good evening," Espa said, smiling at his soldiers. "Today is a great victory for the IDA. Let us hear it for Seto Kaiba!"

The audience immediately rose into applause for the teenager, who walked over and shook hands with Espa.

"Seto," Espa said as the spotlight fell onto them, "I was considering what to do about your reward. First off, what you have done is amazing. A mission of you magnitude may have taken two or three weeks for even some of our best agents, yet you return to us in a little over a week."

He paused as a few whistles came from the crowd.

"Anyways," Espa continued, "you will need a bit more training in the field of basic IDA lessons- weapon handling, driving our vehicles and what not- but..." His voice trailed off a little bit.

"Despite your inexperience, I believe you are ready to lead your own team! Serenity would be glad to join, (he paused as she and the other six stepped closer to Seto) Mokuba and Rebecca would have a chance to prove their skills, and Yugi and Mai have grown weary as solo agents... yes! This would make a fine team indeed!"

"One thing," Seto replied, stepping in between Kenshin and Marth. He placed a hand on each of their shoulders. "These two are going to be members of my team too. Either they're in or I'm out."

Espa laughed. "Seto, you take things too seriously! They are more than welcome on your team! Now then, as for your uniforms..."

He held up a silver-colored jacket with blue sleeves, then turned it around to show the insignia of a Blue Eyes White Dragon embroidered beautifully and impressively into the back.

"You bear the emblem of the Blue Eyes White Dragon; therefore, I think it would be only natural to identify yourselves as the Dragon Emblem Team! What do you think?"

Seto held out a jacket to Marth.

"I think I like it!"

"Then it's settled!" Espa cheered. "The new team with its new heroic leader is formed! Three cheers for Seto Kaiba and Dragon Emblem!"

Everyone roared in acclaim. "Dragon Emblem! Seto Kaiba!"

Espa shook hands with Seto, Kenshin, Marth, Serenity, Mokuba, Yugi, Mai, and Rebecca. "Now then," he said smiling, "I think it's time for a celebration, don't you?"

Music filled the air and balloons fell from a net tied up to the ceiling. Dancing, laughter and shaking hands with the new leader filled the night. Seto and Serenity got to dance to a slow song (while chuckling slightly at how short Yugi was compared to his partner, Mai) and got to share a kiss. For Seto, that was all the reward he could have asked for from his mission.

Then there were laughs thrown in, too. Espa, Honda, and Mokuba had a karaoke competition (with Honda coming out on top in a humorous fashion) and when a conga line was formed Kenshin was made leader (despite a few shouts of "Oro!"). Seto knew that he was having the best night of his life. Nothing could ever tear him away from Kenshin and Marth. Nothing.

Several hours passed, and soon everyone was passed out asleep. Some were sleeping in chairs, others had ended up in funnier situations. Jounouchi had fallen asleep with the punch bowl tilted over his head and Mokuba had crawled up into the balloon net and was using it as a high-elevation hammock.

Seto shook his head suddenly, waking up from his seat. On his left shoulder, Kenshin had fallen asleep and was leaning against him. Seto looked at a clock nearby.

3:57 am.

Espa came walking over, smiling softly at Seto.

"Will you come with me please? I'm sorry, but Kenshin and Marth should go with you too."

Hearing this, Seto gently shook Kenshin awake and then walked over to where Marth was lying asleep on a table using a Twister game sheet as a blanket and woke him up too. Tired, they followed Espa to a small room close to his office.

Inside it was a time booth. It resembled a shower stall with a black curtain, and inside it the walls, floor, and ceiling were made of mirrors.

"Seto," Espa said softly, a hint of sorrow in his voice, "it's time."

"Four a.m. already?" Seto asked with a yawn, looking at his watch.

"No," Espa replied. "I mean, the time pods are badly broken, the jets' time-travel option is broken, and even this device probably only has one transport left in it."

"You mean..." Seto's voice trailed off as he gazed back sadly at Kenshin and Marth, returning his sorrow-filled eyes.

"It's time to say goodbye, Seto." Espa bowed his head sadly.

"It's okay," Marth said hopefully, "I mean, surely you can get these things fixed, right?"

Espa looked at him and shook his head in regret.

"These things aren't easy to fix. For one, it's really hard to find someone who can. Two, it's just a hard process all in itself, and three, it costs an awful lot of money."

Kenshin spoke in a worried voice. "What you're saying is..."

"... it may be one, two, maybe ten years before you see each other again. If a miracle occurs, you might see each other again in six months, but that'll happen the day that I beat Honda in karaoke..." Espa rolled his eyes at the last comment. He returned to his serious disposition and continued speaking sadly, "There's even a chance... you may never see each other again..."

Seto felt his heart freeze. Never again? Kenshin and Marth appeared to be thinking the same thing.

"I'll have to explain this to Oguma and the others," Marth whispered softly. It was clear he was close to tears.

Kenshin placed a reassuring hand on the prince's shoulder. "You're always welcome to live with us at the dojo."

Espa continued sorrowfully, "I have to get the time booth ready before they go... while it warms up, I'll let you have a moment alone." He left the room and outside, turned a key in a slot to start the engine for the time booth. It sputtered for a second, then began purring softly.

"When it sounds like a loud whirring," Espa said, in a loud voice outside the door, "it'll be time to go... it's set for Meiji Era Japan, about a day after you beat Pegasus,"

Seto looked sadly at Kenshin and Marth. "I don't really know what to say," he said, "I guess I should say thank you."

"For what?" Marth asked.

"Everything," Seto continued. "The sword lessons, kindness, meals, never giving up on me... but you gave me something even deeper... friendship. I realize now that... that's all I've ever really wanted."

Kenshin smiled softly with tears in his eyes and Marth sniffled, tears leaking down his face. Seto's voice began trembling.

"I promise I will see you guys again. I promise I'll never forget what I've learned from you. I promise that we'll be friends forever... and I promise that I'm not going to cry!" Seto said, blinking quickly.

Marth pulled out his head band once again. "Here," he said. "Keep it. For good luck throughout you life."

Kenshin handed Seto a copper coin with kanji carved into it. "Keep this too, as a symbol of our promises."

The humming of the engine began to grow louder. "You have a few seconds left!" Espa shouted.

Seto reached out and hugged Kenshin and Marth at the same time with one arm.

"You guys are the best friends I've ever had..."

Kenshin and Marth returned the embrace before finally pulling away.

"Same here," they replied simultaneously.

As they stepped into the time booth, Seto whispered softly to them, "I just... can't believe that this is really... goodbye..."

They waved to him one last time before a bright light filled the time booth. Seto shielded his eyes. When the light returned to normal, the booth was empty. Kenshin and Marth had finally gone back.

Espa opened the door and walked over to Seto, patting his back gently.

"I hate to be the one to remind you of this, but..." he sighed, his voice taking on a more serious tone, "... the sooner you get to those children, the better."

Kaiba closed his eyes. I forgot all about that... it's what Kenshin and Marth would want! They wouldn't want me to be sad! They want me to be proud! They did all this for those dying kids in Africa... and I can't let them down!

He walked out of the room. Before he closed the door, he said, "I'm off to find Serenity. We're traveling via dragon. Right here, right now."

Seto closed the door and left Espa standing there in silent respect, pride, hope, and excitement.

bijoukaiba: OH MY GOD. THE NEXT CHAPTER IS THE FINAL ONE! THE EPILOGUE TO DRAGON EMBLEM! AFTER ALMOST TWO YEARS, DRAGON EMBLEM IS AT LAST GOING TO BE FINISHED.

(turns off CAPS LOCK and Bold type).

This is it. It's time to get that medicine in.

Anyways, the chapter ended as a real tear-jerker for me... my nose is a little runny right now and my throat has a small lump in it, but... I PROMISE I WON'T CRY! It reminded me of StarFox when Fox and Tricky say goodbye after Fox gets the fifth Krazoa Spirit... that part almost made me cry too...

I hope you have enjoyed this story. This is your cue to review. Chapter 11 (and the final chapter) is coming soon.
