Holy Ra, I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get this final chapter written. Writers block decided to come and pay me a long visit, and finishing school is no walk in the park... studying takes up alot of valuable time. But this is the final chapter of this fic. Sorry if it's not what any one expected or it it seems cut off, but endings really arent my strong point and I truly did not want to leave this fic unfinished for any longer. Thanks so the reviewers over the past...23? Chapters. You've been inspiring and tips have been really appreciated. (Hands out Yugioh Plushies to lovely reviewers)

Warnings: This fic contains shounen-ai, if you don't like, don't read. Simple.

"We had the Seers announce that a new monarch would be announced in a week and we still don't have someone to coronate!" Yami yelled.

"Don't get your boxers in a knot," Malik said casually, "I think I have the perfect candidate. They're wise, and not too old or young."

"I do believe that the people will like our candidate. And if the priests carrying out the coronation say that this person was chosen by the gods, then the general populace won't have a problem with it."

"Who is it?" Ryou asked Yugi, linking a hand with Bakura's.

"Well, the country won't be having a King."

"It's a girl!" Marik exclaimed.

"Yes. She's very wise, and has the power to see the past and future."

Yami thought a moment, "You don't mean Ishizu do you?"

Malik grinned, "Yup! Isn't that the perfect person for Queen? Think about it. She's down to earth, responsible, caring and most of all; her powers of Seeing are far greater than any Seer that's been before her. Her predictions are never wrong. This would be beneficial to the kingdom as she will be able to foresee any conflicts or natural disasters. Do you agree with me that she is the best candidate?"

Bakura, who had been quiet most of the conversation suddenly spoke, "This country hasn't had a lone Queen ruling for centuries. Will they accept her with open arms as you say she will?"

"The people love her," Yami said, "I remember. The people come to her for guidance when they feel their futures are unclear. They come to her when they wish to know about their past. Many of the people would trust Ishizu with their lives."

"Well that settles it then, doesn't it?" Yugi said, standing up from his plush, violet cushion, "We announce that she will be crowned at the coronation."

The entire city was buzzing with activity as the preparations for the coronation ceremony of the new ruler were coming to a close. Varying tales had been told about the events that had occurred at the palace and how the king had died. Some of the people believed that it was a meteor that struck the palace and that was how the previous King Seto had died. Others believed that enemies from nearby countries had used powerful Battle magic to kill the King in an attempt to take over the rulership that King Seto had. No one however, knew of what truly happened.

Yami was currently making his way down a newly rebuilt corridor heading towards the throne room, expensive tapestries in his hands. Placing his back against the heavy Oakwood door, he pushed against it, and slipped inside.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Yami said to silhouette in the window, "I thought there wasn't going to be anyone here. It's off limits."

"It's okay, Yami," a voice said, "I was just thinking. That's all," the person turned around.

"Jonouchi?" Yami asked, not really knowing what to say to his friend.

"Yeah. Look, I've decided to leave the army. I'm going to be moving away from here…I…I can't stand not having Seto around," he blinked back tears.

Yami looked to the ground. "We did what we had to do," he mumbled quietly, "You know that."

Jonouchi glared, "You didn't have to kill him. You could have locked him in the dungeons for all eternity or something. You didn't have to make it so he was condemned forever to the underworld! And I once called you my friend."

"Jonouchi…I'm…"

"Don't say it. I'm outta here," the blonde said, walking angrily out of the throne room.

"Sorry," Yami finished before sinking to the floor, tears threatening to fall.

Yugi was walking towards the throne room when he heard the heavy door close, deciding to check it out, Yugi cautiously stepped towards the door, wondering who could possibly be in there. Carefully pushing the heavy door open, he peered into the semi-darkened room. Seeing a figure on the floor, he used his light magic to light the lamps that were on the walls, casting a light amethyst glow around the room. Walking up to the figure on the floor, and knelt down beside him.

"It's okay Yami," Yugi said gently, wrapping his arms around his darkness "It's okay."

Ishizu stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking at her new outfit.

"It's all very hard to believe that I'm being coronated," she said to Anzu who was lifting out various items of jewellery for the soon-to-be Queen to look at.

"I know, who could have guessed? Did you see this coming?"

"Not in the slightest. Put that stuff away, I'm not going to flaunt this title at all. I'm not even of Royal blood. I'll dress as close to how I usually do."

Anzu smiled, Yami was right when he'd told her that Ishizu would make a good ruler.

"Come on, your highness," Anzu said, emphasising the word as she brushed off her mages robe "It's time for you to go and have your ceremonial blessing before the coronation starts."

Trumpets sounded as the priests stepped onto the Great Steps of the royal palace. People lined the streets, cheering happily as the coronation began. An apprentice priest stepped to the top of the stairs, "High Priest Otogi will now announce our new monarch," he announced.

A priest with black hair tied back and green eyes dressed in a black and red robe stepped onto the steps.

"By the order of the Gods of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Light and Darkness, I present to you, the new queen, Her Royal Highness, Ishizu."

The masses of people clapped and cheered louder than before. Ishizu stood regally as she soaked up the applause.

Standing on a near by hill, the six gods stood, watching the proceedings from afar.

"Things could not have gone any better for Ishizu. I mean, Queen Ishizu. The people love her."

"Yeah," Malik nodded, floating next to Marik.

"Looks like our work here is done," Yugi murmured.

The three stood silently, listening to the sound of the distant ocean crashing against the rocks.

"So," Bakura said at length, "where to now? I mean, we are Gods."

Marik smiled, "I like the idea of going to these different worlds. I would like to see where an angel such as my Malik came from," Marik said, slinging an arm around Malik's transparent waist.

"That sounds like it could be fun," Ryou said excitedly.

"What do you say Yami? Up for the adventure?" Yugi said, resting his hand on Yami's shoulder.

"Sure why not. Who knows what we'll see out there?"

And with that, Yami conjured up his dimension travelling circle and the three gods disappeared in a flash of crimson and black magic.

And that is the end of Elemental Mages. I'll be sad to see it done, it was my first multi-chaptered fic. But I feel really good that I've completed it. . Well... Ja ne for now!
