Hey everybody! Audience says "Hi Dr. Illidan!" Ok, maybe I shouldn't have watched the Simpsons before doing the review, hehe. Anyways, glad everyone liked the last chapter. Illidan finally got another break, and summoned a second Egyptian God, thus making it Egyptian God on Egyptian God again. Who will walk away with the title of the ultimate Egyptian God, who knows! Lol, but anyways, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter as well. Now, onto answering the reviews.

Tomb Robber Vicky: Indeed he is. Note he always makes sure he has the points to pull something off. That way if he needs the points, he has them. And yes Keith, it was rigged. I was in the background forcing the fire sphere to stop specifically on you, hehe. Don't worry about the reviews though. I understand about school and all. It makes thing hard, and time just becomes less and less when in it, but then again, so does when you work…

x-knight20: It's alright. It happens. Nothing to worry about.

Isis the Sphinx: Yep, Thursday is the last day. Thanks. I do hope everyone has enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing it, and if I ever get around to it (I hope I do), I plan on writing that last sequel and a one shot that happens before the sequel.

Ryon Nakura: Of course I'm a nice guy! Do you think a half demon couldn't be? That's right though Ryon, you're yesterday's news. Today's news has me on the front page, holding up wallets, purses, and plenty of women's shredded clothing! Smacked from behind by fiancé. I mean, only wallets and purses. Gets smacked again. Alright, just wallets! Patted no the head and told he's a good half dog demon. Sighs The things I do to keep her happy, lol. Pays guy playing violin to keep playing. Ah yes, such a sad thing.

Berry Kisses: Looks at Ryou shaking and twitching in floor from overdose on chocolate. Maybe you're getting better after all Ryon. Now, if only you could beat Marik… Watches Ryon nervously twitch at mention of Marik.

Fire Princess: Here, allow me to keep feeding him. Pulls out water hose hooked up to tank of lard. Open wide! Turns on nozzle and force feds Ryou lard for an hour.

Strawberry Cake: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Yes, I got you a lawyer who hasn't won a case yet Ryon. You never know, he could win anytime now. I thought, why not roll the dice and try it. Watches Birdman sleeping with briefcase as pillow. See, he's already hard at work.

Brianna Ishtar: Sure I have Ryon. You just haven't noticed it yet. Notices Ryon on ground chocking on chocolate bars. Hmm, should I help? Thinks for a moment. Ah hell, just to prove my point, I'll help "protect" you. Smacks his back hard, causing him to go flying through a wall, in which he then spits all the chocolate bars out. You're welcome!

sweetxokissesxo: Uh, Ryou, I hate to tell you, but that's a set of weights that I made from balloons and painted up to be 200 lbs. You're actually lifting about one lb, if not less. Sees wallet. Oh wait, that's mine. Smirks evilly as he walks away with it.

pink-kiss-candy: Yep, he does have it in his hand. Happy days! Sure Ryou, it'll be there, eventually. Uh, you're not actually the prince Ryon. More like the court jester, hehe.

Well, that's all for today. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. The end is slowly coming. I'm kind of sad, yet happy at the same time, seeing how the sequel to this story is already wrote. I'm sad though also due that that means I need to get my ass to work on the final sequel, lol. I have ideas for it, but I need to write the one shot before I do that, and it is a pain in the ass… I had most of it done, but my computer seems to have not saved it. Threatens computer with claws. Do it again, and I'll slash you! And yes people, I'm talking to my computer. It's my precious! Well, not really, lol. More like semi-precious.

At any rate, I'm due to get married Friday. We booked a place to do it at in Winchester, VA. It should be fun. I can't wait for the next three days to go by. I just wish it was already Thursday evening, so I could leave to be with her. Sigh Oh well, it will come soon enough.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter, and I'll post yet again tomorrow. Later all.

Chapter 136

Upon ending his move, Illidan's Obelisk roared as his strength then returned to him (4000/4000).

Gozaburo smiled evilly at this and drew his card, saying "It's far from over Illidan. Watch as I reveal my trap, Rite of Spirit! Now I return my powerful Gravekeeper's Curse (800/800) in defense mode, thus doing yet another 500 damage to you!" Illidan was shocked to see the black robed man reappear on the field. The man in black robes then glowed and pushed his hands forward. He then fired a beam straight at Illidan, making Illidan groan in pain as the blast struck him.

Gozaburo then let out an evil laughter, saying "Now it's time to see who shall suffer a trip to the Shadow Realm this time!" The sphere of flames then began to make it's way around the field. Once it made it around once, it slowed down. Finally, it came to rest on Ishizu.

Odion, Marik, and Shadi could only gasp as they saw what they feared the most.

"NO, PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY SISTER!" screamed Marik. But it was too late. The Shadow Realm began to claim its prize as Ishizu screamed in pain.

"No! Please, take me instead Gozaburo!" called out Shadi. Gozaburo only ignored him though. Shadi then looked at Ishizu with tears in his eyes and saw Ishizu had the same in her eyes.

"It's alright Shadi. Just remember, I love you!" she said in a sad voice.

Shadi then yelled back "I love you too Ishizu!"

As he had said that, Ishizu finally disappeared. Marik sobbed for his sister, for he loved her very much as well.

Gozaburo then looked up and said "If you wish to hate someone, hate Illidan! He let this happen. He didn't finish me off soon enough, so now your sister must suffer!"

Marik looked down as a flash of anger filled his eyes. He then yelled "It isn't Illidan's fault! It is you who have decided to play with our hearts and minds as if we're play things! I will never blame Illidan for what he has done today!"

Gozaburo only laughed and said "You'll see soon enough though Marik. You'll truly grow to hate Illidan for what he's done. Now, continuing on, I shall summon yet another Gravekeeper's Curse (800/800) in defense mode, thus doing yet another 500 damage to you Illidan!"

Illidan was shocked yet again, as yet another black robed man with an evil smile appeared. He then brought his hands forward and fired a blast of energy at Illidan, striking him and causing Illidan to go down to one knee. The blasts were starting to take their toll on him over all this time.

Gozaburo only laughed and said "Let's see who is next to take a trip to the Shadow Realm!" With that, the sphere of flames started circling the field. Finally, it slowed down and completely stopped right in front of Mai.

Joey cried out "NO!" Mai then cried out in pain as she slowly began to disappear.

"No, Mai! Please, don't go! I… I love you!" Joey finally cried out with tears in his eyes.

Mai had tears in her eyes as well and said "I love you too Joey! Be strong for me!" With those final words, she disappeared.

Joey only continued to sob, as did Serenity and some of the others. Joey then glared down at Gozaburo with fire in his eyes and screamed "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE US ALONE YOU FREAK?"

Gozaburo only laughed evilly at this statement. Illidan only glared daggers at Gozaburo as well, but Gozaburo continued to laugh. The torment in their eyes and voices is what he truly wanted. The whole purpose of this duel had been to make Illidan and his friends suffer.

He then said "This is what I wanted. I want you all to suffer as I did five millennia ago. Each of you shall suffer for what I suffered. Now, I end my move, so you'd better make this one count Illidan." (Gozaburo 4600, Illidan 6450)

Illidan then drew his card and said "You'll never get away with this Gozaburo, trust me! Now I return my Sinister Serpent to my hand from the Graveyard. Next, I activate The Creator's special effect. I send to the Graveyard my The Winged Dragon of Ra in order to revive Slifer the Sky Dragon (5000/5000)!" The powerful golden monster then fired a beam into Illidan's Graveyard, but this time a blinding red light came pouring out. Suddenly, there reappeared the mighty Egyptian God Card in all it's glory. The powerful red dragon roared, showing that it was back to finish the job it had started. Anubis let out a soft growl, making Slifer tremble slightly.

Gozaburo only laughed, saying "Why bother with that pathetic Egyptian God Card? He's far too pathetic to even defeat me! Now Anubis, use Energy Drain on that pathetic creature!" Anubis prepared to deliver his powerful energy burst, but Illidan cut in.

"Not so fast! I reveal my trap card, Call of the Haunted! This trap allows me to revive yet another monster, and I choose to revive my all powerful The Winged Dragon of Ra (0/0)!" Illidan's Graveyard then glowed with an awesome bright golden light, and then there appeared the powerful third Egyptian God Card. The mighty golden dragon let out a powerful roar, trying to strike some fear into Anubis. Anubis let out a small growl this time at Ra, causing the most powerful of the three Egyptian God Cards to tremble.

Everyone on the wall was shocked at this development. Yami and Yugi looked on with enthused smiles.

"He's done it! He brought all three out Yami!" called an excited Yugi.

Yami only smiled and said "Yes, I see. Now we'll see how all three stacks up to Anubis."

Meanwhile, Joey laughed and celebrated, saying "YES! He's got all three Egyptian God Cards out! He'll for sure win now!"

The others all were cheering as well, but Gozaburo only burst their bubble.

"It pains me to say this Illidan, but your summoning of Ra has triggered Anubis's special effect. Anubis, use Energy Drain on that pathetic excuse for Egyptian God Card!" called out Gozaburo. Anubis then brought his other hand forward and prepared to fire a second blast with it.

Illidan only smirked and said "I don't think so! Now I activate Obelisk the Tormentor's special effect. I now sacrifice both Ra and Slifer to Obelisk, thus making his strength infinite!"

The two Egyptian Gods then took to the air. Slifer then rapped himself around Obelisk's right arm, putting his head near Obelisk's fist. Ra then transformed into his phoenix form, better known as Egyptian God Phoenix. Ra then did the same as Slifer had and grabbed onto Obelisk's left arm, placing his head near the left fist of Obelisk. Obelisk then roared as he powered up his two fists as well.

Illidan then yelled "This one is for all those you destroyed Gozaburo! Now Obelisk, Slifer, and Ra, use Titan Firestorm to destroy Anubis and to win this duel!" The three Egyptian Gods then took aim on Anubis, who had stopped his preparation to use Energy Drain. Then Obelisk, Slifer, and Ra let loose their most deadly attacks at once. Obelisk's Fist of Fate, Slifer's Thunder Force, and Ra's Phoenix Flame combined into one huge blast that headed straight for Anubis. The blast was at the power of infinite, so Anubis would be totally annihilated.

Everyone cheered as the blast was let loose, thinking Illidan had it won.

Suddenly, Gozaburo cut in, saying "I sacrifice both of my Gravekeeper's Curses to Anubis, thus activating his own special effect! Now Anubis, gain infinite strength and show these pathetic monsters who is the true Egyptian God!" Anubis then shot a beam at both men in black robes and absorbed both. Then Anubis glowed with his awesome white aura and brought both arms forward like he had with his normal attack.

Gozaburo then let out a huge burst of laughter and said "Anubis, counter attack with Judgment of Death!"

Illidan was totally shocked, much like the group on the wall, as well as Marie. Anubis then fired a huge blast of pure white energy at the powerful blast that Obelisk, Slifer, and Ra had fired. The blasts collided with one another, causing a huge shockwave, as well as a brilliant, blinding light. Also, a huge gust of wind came sweeping over the field. The force of the two blasts meeting was terrifying.

Illidan watched in shock as the blasts collided and just pushed on one another. Finally, all four monsters gave out and all of them blew up from the shockwave sent back from the two blasts. Obelisk, Slifer, and Ra screamed in pain as they blew into millions of pieces, but Anubis calmly blew up like it was nothing to die. The shockwave knocked Illidan to the ground with a tremendous force. He laid there for a moment after the blast finally subsided. There was so much smoke from the blast from both monsters, but it was finally subsiding as well. Illidan slowly stood, in complete shock that his three Egyptian God Cards were now gone.

Gozaburo meanwhile was only laughing evilly on the other side of the field. He then pointed a finger at Illidan, screaming "I told you he was stronger than your three combined! Did you listen, no! Do you get it now? My Egyptian God Card is invincible!"

The others on the wall were still in shock. Yugi and Yami were just in dismay.

"NO WAY!" called out Yugi.

Yami only could say "I don't believe it either. Illidan just used the most powerful weapon available to the three Egyptian Gods, and yet Anubis countered it with the same type of blast."

Yugi looked at Yami and in a slightly panicked voice said "What now? Illidan has no way to beat Anubis without those three!"

Yami looked back and said calmly to Yugi "Don't panic. Illidan will think of something, I'm sure of it. He has always found a way to win, and this is no exception to the rule."

Yugi nodded slowly, but still was worried.

On the field, Illidan looked out at the field, seeing he had nothing but his The Creator left. He fell to one knee, trembling, and for once, he was afraid. "I just used all three Egyptian God Cards, and still Anubis beat them. What do I do now? I… I don't know what to do for once. Is this it? Is this how it ends?" He bowed his head, hiding his eyes in his bangs. He was slightly shaking from the fear he had of for once not knowing what to do.

Then he heard a voice saying "Don't give up Illidan! You can still do it, I know you can!"

Looking up, he saw that it was Marie who had said that. She was staring at him, with eyes of confidence in him. "I know you'll find a way Illidan! You can do it. Just remember, we all believe in you, and you have to believe in yourself as well as your deck. Remember the Heart of the Cards!" Marie called out.

Illidan nodded slowly and stood back up.

Gozaburo then cut in and said "You know, it would be much easier if you just gave up Illidan. Why suffer this humiliating defeat when you can just surrender? I'll even let the remaining others go. Of course, they'll be my slaves once I make my wish, but they'll be alive. So why bother to continue this struggle? You'll get what you want in a way, so just why not give up?"

Illidan then took a deep breath and said "No, I won't give up yet. I can still turn things around and defeat you. I guarantee you that I will defeat you. Now, it's still my move! So now I set one monster in defense mode and end my move!" (Gozaburo 4600, Illidan 6450)

Gozaburo only laughed and said "I see you're still thinking you can win. So be it." He then drew and his Graveyard glowed brightly. Once again, Anubis then returned to the field in attack mode.

Gozaburo then laughed and said "It's pointless to keep this up Illidan. I had hopes that you'd surrender, but I see how dense you are. Now watch as I summon my Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier (1500/1000) in attack mode!" A man in black robes appeared on the field. He wielded a mighty spear as well.

"Now Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier, attack Illidan's pathetic The Creator with Grave Spear!"

The black robed man quickly crossed the field and prepared to smash the weaker monster when Illidan said "I activate my trap card, Mirror Force! Now both Gravekeeper's Spear Soldier and Anubis, The God of Life and Death are destroyed!"

Gozaburo only smirked at his monsters destruction and said "Fine then Illidan. I'll now set two cards face down, and end my turn then. Don't forget though, Anubis shall be back next turn, muwhaha!" (Gozaburo 4600, Illidan 6450)

Illidan then drew his next card and smiled. It was Bakura's powerful Dark Ruler Ha Des. Suddenly, Gozaburo's Graveyard then glowed with a white aura and Anubis then returned to the field in attack mode again.

Looking at his hand, Illidan had an idea on how to get rid of Anubis, possibly forever. Grinning, Illidan then said "I summon my D.D. Warrior Lady (1500/1600) in defense mode." A female warrior then appeared on the field in a one knee position with her arms crossed to defend herself.

Gozaburo only laughed, saying "You've triggered Anubis's special effect. Anubis, use your Energy Drain to blow away that pathetic monster!" Anubis then stretched his one hand out and fired a blast of powerful white energy at the female warrior.

The blast easily struck her, but Illidan only grinned. "Now you've done it Gozaburo! You've triggered D.D. Warrior Lady's special effect. When she's attacked, I can choose to remove her from play, along with the monster that destroyed her. So I now remove D.D. Warrior Lady from play in order to remove Anubis from play! Now D.D. Warrior Lady, use Dimensional Rift!" The female warrior then struggled to make it across the field and grabbed onto the Egyptian God. Suddenly then a rift in the air formed as both Anubis and the female warrior started to float up towards it. Finally, both D.D. Warrior Lady and Anubis entered the rift, which caused the rift to then close shut.

Illidan smiled and said "That's the end of Anubis, once and for all. Now I activate The Creator's special effect. By discarding my Sinister Serpent, I can now revive my powerful Egyptian God Card, Obelisk the Tormentor (4000/4000)!" The golden monster then fired a beam into Illidan's Graveyard, causing a huge blue beam to come flying out of it. Suddenly the mighty blue skinned Egyptian God returned, letting out a roar at Gozaburo.

Illidan smiled and then said "Obelisk the Tormentor, attack Gozaburo directly with Fist of Fate!" Obelisk then pulled his huge arm back and powered up. Then with a tremendous force, he pushed his fist forward and struck Gozaburo with it's full power. Gozaburo was knocked backwards about 10 feet and laid on the ground for a second. Then Marie cried out in pain as almost all of her body disappeared. Only most of her head, her hands, and her feet were left.

Illidan only gave her the most sorrowful look he could and said "It'll be over soon Marie."

Once the pain subsided for her, she nodded, saying "Do what you need to do Illidan."

Then suddenly there was a huge chuckle from where Gozaburo laid on the ground. His chuckle then broke out into a huge maniacal laughter as he slowly stood up with his hand over half his face. He then slowly limped over to his position and removed his hand from his face. There to everyone's surprise was metal and a red robot eye.

He only laughed more and more maniacally as he said "YOU THINK IT'S OVER! GUESS AGAIN ILLIDAN!"

Illidan only sighed, seeing how truly insane Gozaburo was. "I'll now end my turn. Now, since I had to bring Obelisk from the Graveyard, he automatically returns to my Graveyard, so return now my mighty Egyptian God Card." Obelisk then glowed and slowly disappeared. Finally, Illidan placed the card back in the Graveyard. "Make your move, if you dare Gozaburo." stated Illidan boldly. (Gozaburo 600, Illidan 6450)
