Warnings:

I am going to be using the dub names, mainly because I'm used to calling them by those names, sorry if this is an inconvenience to anyone, sorry again. Bakura (Yami Bakura) has come back because he was given a second chance at a happy life, and Seto Kaiba is not as annoyed by them anymore, since Egypt, you could say he is an acquaintance of theirs'. What else, oh yeah, Ryou and Bakura are in separate bodies. There will be OC's (original Characters) in this fic; I may also forget a few of the people because there are so many remember you have been warned of my forgetfulness. Alright, this is like a little spin off of my first fic, Neveralone, it's set a few days afterward, if you didn't read it, you won't be to lost but reading it could help.

Summary: Its been five millennia since the Evil One's destruction, now that she has returned it's up to the gang with old friends and new to stop her. And who's to say that love wont blossom along the way.

"WAIT! AINT YOU THAT NEW CHICK JOAN?!" exclaimed Joey pointing at the pink-haired teen.

The teens were in total shock standing before them was the new girl who had just started attending Domino High, they knew that they would have to find the last warrior; they just did not expect to find her so soon, and what were the chances that this soft spoken new student would be the one they were looking for.

"I know… it's kinda a shock… but… you think we can talk about this somewhere… private?" asked the blushing teen.

The school cafeteria, though empty was in ruin, no doubt the teachers would release the students early due to the monster attacks, so the teens saw no harm in leaving early.

They were now in the café, the girls had de-transformed, and all were present, except the junior high members who were still in school seeing as their school was not attacked, today.
"Alright… now that were in a private place… would you mind telling us what's going on here? There is no way you could have come to our school by accident." said Duke.

"You're right Duke, I came here by choice. You see… ever since I received my crystal… I have been seeing visions… of the ancient past of the previous owner of this crystal… the Princess of Love." said Joan, holding the crystal in her palm, its rosy hue shinning in the light.

"What?" exclaimed Ryou.

"You've actually seen the origin of the legend… why didn't the rest of us?" asked Flora.

"Probably because the Princess of Love was the one that cast the spell sealing the powers in the crystals…" said Joan.

Silence

"Well… what have you seen? It would probably help us if we knew exactly what it is we're up against and how we could possibly stop it… and knowing more about the legend wouldn't hurt." said Yugi.

"I agree… please tell us what you have seen." said Atem.

"Alright… as you know it began five millennia ago…."

Many kingdoms in the region were at risk, for the beast only known as the monster queen was terrorizing them, destroying them one by one, each worse off than the next. The monster queen had targeted her kingdom, which caused worry, doubt, and other such negative emotions to spread through the kingdom, mainly because their close ally, the kingdom of the wind was the monster queen's most recent victim.

The princess knew that she would be unable to defend her kingdom alone, so she sought assistance from the few remaining kingdoms, all but one accepted. The reason was simple enough, for as long as anyone could remember the two kingdoms were at war with one another, neither helping the other with anything. For you see, a while back the rival kingdom was at war with another country, and the princess' kingdom, against her wishes, refused to help. In a final attempt, the princess disguised herself and stuck into the palace to try to reason with the stubborn king, and for other reasons as well. For the prince of the kingdom and she had been secretly seeing each other without their kingdoms knowing, and she had come to visit her forbidden love. She pleaded with the prince, telling him of the monstrous beast that had targeted her kingdom and how she needed more assistance, she and her armies were nowhere near enough. He told her that he would do his best to convince his father, and promised that even if his father refused, he would always be there for his one true love. The prince and princess shared one final kiss, sealing their vow of everlasting love and a promise that they would see each other again, not knowing that it would be their last.

The next day was the day of battle, and the princess not only had her army, but the combined armies of many of the surrounding kingdoms, including all but four of the other elemental princesses, all kingdoms, except that of her beloved prince. On the horizon as the sunset, they could see the silhouette of something approaching, the monster queen and her army of shadow creatures. The armies charged as the eight princesses remained at the back, they would be the final resort if their warriors could not defeat the evil queen. The warriors and the monsters collided, each fighting for the honor of their rulers at stake, neither giving in, though in the end the monsters would easily over power all the warriors, leaving their empty mortal shells in their tracks. The teen rulers launched a combined attack, a mixture of rays made of green, pink, red, yellow, ice blue, navy-blue, black, and white lights, hitting the creatures all at once, destroying them all on contact. This angered the monster queen, giving her the initiative to charge at the young rulers. Launching her attack, a blast of crimson light much larger than anything the princesses could counter with, even with their combined strength. Even with the odds against them, they had to try to protect their kingdoms, no matter what the cost. So they combined their powers and launched an attack they hoped was equal to that of the queen of fiends, the attacks collided, neither side giving in to the other. With all their might, the princesses focused all their energies into their attacks, pushing them to their limits, only to overpowered by the queen.

Lying in the desert sands, bruised and beaten, awaiting their destruction at the hands of this queen of monsters, with no spark of hope left. Until the princess of love thought of her beloved prince and his kingdom, though they did not assist them, it probably would not have helped anyway, she thought of the love she felt for him and that love strengthened her and fueled her hope to fight again. Shakily rising from the sands, a small grey pebble clutched in her hand. The princess told her comrades of a spell she could cast that could seal away the evil beast, though it would come at a price, they would have to give up their remaining strength, draining their souls making them empty shells, basically ending their lives, killing them in a way. The others agreed, standing along side the love princess with their own pebbles in hand, they would put the needs of their kingdoms above their own. With this final option, the princesses focused all of their power, placing some in the pebbles and surrendering the reset to the princess of love so that she could effectively cast the spell. With the eight powers in her possession, the princess combined them once again forming a ball of pure light and launched it at the creature of shadows. This attack took the crimson-eyed creature by surprise striking her in one felt swoop, at first nothing happened, but a shadowy portal was soon opened beneath her feet pulling her under the desert sands, locking her away, seemingly for good. With the job done, the love princess fell to her knees exhausted, with the empty shells of her fallen friends surrounding her, the newly created crystals resting in their lifeless hands.

The young royal let out a sigh, the monster was destroyed, but at what cost, the surrounding kingdoms would now live without rulers, countless lives had been lost, and she would never gaze into the eyes of her beloved again, a single tear trailed down her cheek. Awaiting the effect of the spell to kick in the princess sat, in the distance she could hear the sound of a horse speeding towards her. Mustering a bit of her remaining strength, she turned her head to greet her visitor, who turned out to be her prince, he had kept his promise, and he had come for her, a little late but still. Leaping from his white coated steed the prince ran to his princess, her limp form resting on the sands. Taking her in his tanned arms and holding her close, he apologized for failing her, he was not able to convince his father, nor was he able to make it in time to protect her, tears of sadness flowed from his eyes. A gentle hand touched his check, bringing calmness to his weary heart, his princess, his love looked at him, her eyes glazed, a sign that she had little time left. In a soft tone she said, I cannot bear to see you suffer so, please, do not persecute yourself for something you could not control, it was destiny that I leave you today, but I promise, we will be together again, someday. The princes' eyes filled yet again with tears and said, how can I continue to live on without you, every morning that I wake, my heart shall ache with the memory of you, lying here limp in my arms, with me unable to help you, unable to protect you. The princess knew what he said was true, she knew him far to well, so, she placed a shaky hand to his head under his golden locks, and with her remaining magic and energy, she erased her presence from his mind. Everything between them, everything they shared, nothing more than dust in the wind. After the spell was complete the prince fell unconscious, with so much pressure on his mind how could he not, all around her, her fallen warriors were disappearing, their shells fading from existence. The other princesses were next, each one fading in sparkling dust the color of their element, not doubt she would be next, a single tear slid down her face as her body began to fade, farewell my love, I hope you live a good life and I pray that we shall meet again. With that final prayer, she vanished, along with everyone else involved with the battle, leaving the sleeping prince and his horse alone. When he finally awoke, the sun had already risen and he had no memory of why he was in the desert, only the seven crystals surrounding him in the sands, and the one pink one in his palm, his only clue...
