Hello once again everyone. Sorry about not posting Wednesday or Friday. I was a bit tired from traveling and getting up each of the days, not to mention all week altogether. Also, I received an idea on the next chapter, so I decided to do a bit of revision. Again, my apologies on it taking so long, but I've been somewhat busy as well.
This chapter is dedicated to Metal Overlord 2.0 for giving me a new idea for this battle. I had written the chapter differently, but his suggestion gave me a new idea. So, I decided to rewrite the chapter to the new idea. Thank you for the suggestion Metal Overlord 2.0. It was truly appreciated.
Also, I'd like to thank everyone for your reviews! Last time, I reached the 400 review mark, and I'm quite proud to know that this story received so many reviews. Thank you all for your reviews. Each and every one of them has been important. As a bonus, I plan on releasing two chapters this time to celebrate the bench mark that I have. Again, thank you all.
Last time, the battle with the Leviathan kicked into gear, with Yami, Seto, and Joey getting sucked up by it. Illidan tried his best to free the others with Anubis, but unfortunately, the Egyptian God wasn't enough by himself. Yami finally freed himself, along with the others and reenergized the three Egyptian Gods as well, setting up for the final showdown. Can the four Egyptian Gods take the Great Leviathan down, or will Dartz prove that his creature is truly too much to handle?
But for now, it's Review Time!
ardee: Do they now… True, that usually happens, but will it this time? Or will a new hero rise? True, it got slightly boring, but meh, I prefer to use description as much as possible rather than just say "Blue-Eyes White Dragon attacked…" To me, hearing a description somewhat helps. Even though I know what the dragon looks like due that I duel and watch the show, some people may not know, although that's unlikely, lol.
Metal Overlord 2.0: Yep, full strength and ready to fight that sea snake. You had a great idea btw! Thank you for the suggestion. I had something about that originally, but your comments from last time really got the wheels in my head turning, and made me think, why hadn't this power been used by now!? Thank you again for your comments. As you saw above, I dedicated this chapter to you due to your comments. Thanks once more.
Ultimate Legendary Master: True, I thought about that, but I figured, why not allow Illidan to survive and try to stop the Leviathan alone. It seemed unlikely he could, so I figured why not let him try at the least. But yes, the gods are back, and they're not happy.
Isis the Sphinx: LOL! Poor Isis… Hopefully school will get better for you.
Tomb Robber Vicky: Very true. It makes anyone's day complete, hehe. But yeah, this could get interesting with all four gods out. Feh, Bakura, you're not even on the island. You're back on the mainland in a hospital. Not like you could help much, seeing how you're weaker than even Illidan, lol.
Well, that's it for me tonight everyone. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I really liked having a challenge of rewriting it. It was tons of fun. Remember, I love getting reviews, so everyone send me some so I can answer them! I'll try to post again Monday, but I can't guarantee it. Due to traveling to training, I get extremely tired, not to mention all that training tires me out! Oh well… But I promise, I'll most definitely be posting Friday for sure. Till next time though, enjoy the chapters. Later everyone!
Chapter 65
Growling loudly, Dartz snarled out "Impossible! How did he revive the Egyptian Gods!?"
Roaring loudly, the Great Leviathan took to the sky, going higher up to escape the invasion of the four Egyptian Gods. Seeing this, the four Egyptian Gods gave chase after the massive creature, not wanting it to get away.
Seeing this, Yami switched with Yugi, saying in his spirit form "The Gods may need my help." That said, he sent his spirit up into the air after them.
Noticing Yami taking off, Illidan closed his own eyes and sent his spirit along with Yami's, knowing he'd be needed to help. As he left, he heard Yugi say "Good luck you two."
In the clouds above, the Great Leviathan turned to face the four Egyptian Gods. Illidan and Yami's spirits soon arrived, with Yami saying "It's your move."
Furious at that comment, Dartz yelled "You dare to challenge me?! You have a lot to learn yet Pharaoh!"
The Great Leviathan roared loudly, sending out a burst of energy, which all four gods managed to dodge easily.
Obelisk quickly moved in after the blast and punched the mighty serpent with his large fist. The serpent roared in pain, but quickly grabbed hold of the large blue god and wrapped it tightly within it's tendrils. Ra and Slifer came flying in for the save though, sending out a blast each at the area that was capturing Obelisk, forcing the large serpent to loosen it's grip. Anubis moved in next, sending a mighty blast of white energy at the head of the serpent, making the grip of the serpent on Obelisk to completely loosen, allowing the four to take up a formation once more.
Growling loudly with frustration, Dartz yelled with great anger "The Great Leviathan has existed long before your pathetic Egyptian Gods were born, and will rule the Earth once they're gone!"
The Great Leviathan mightily roared loudly, and began to charge up it's most powerful attack. Finally, after building up it's energy, a blast of pure white energy came rushing forward from it's jaws straight for the four Egyptian Gods.
Seeing this, Yami called out "Obelisk the Tormentor, attack with Fist of Fate. Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack with your Thunder Force. Winged Dragon of Ra, ignite your Blaze Cannon and fire!"
The three Egyptian Gods each began to power up their attacks, as Illidan cried out "Anubis, let's finish this! Attack with Judgment of Death!"
That said, the four began to fully power up. Finally, Obelisk started things off by firing a powerful blast of blue energy from his right fist, followed by Slifer releasing a blast of red energy from it's jaws, with Ra then firing a blast of golden energy from it's own jaws, and finally Anubis releasing a blast of pure white energy from both of it's palms. The four blasts merged into one, and struck the blast coming at them from the Great Leviathan right in the middle of the battle field.
Laughing, Dartz braggingly said "My beast is fueled by the darkness of it's prisoners, making it invincible!"
"Wrong!" yelled Yami. "I was able to transform the darkness in their hearts to light, which now fuels the three Egyptian Gods now!"
The blasts continued to grind away on one another with neither side seemingly gaining any ground. Shocked, Dartz yelled "How can this be!? Your Egyptian Gods should be no match for the Great Leviathan!"
"You're wrong Dartz! The goodness of all those people you captured have given the Egyptian Gods more power than your creature could ever muster!" replied a defiant Yami.
As Yami made his statement, the beam on the Egyptian Gods side slowly went back towards the large serpent creature. The creature roared loudly in frustration as it tried it's best to force the beam back, but was unable to budge it.
Furious at the loss of ground, Dartz let out a loud, primeval roar, as did the serpent creature. The body of the serpent glowed brilliantly orange, sending out a blinding light.
Slowly, the light died down, revealing a brighter orange colored serpent creature, with a bright green horn on it's head, which was still Dartz. Yami and Illidan only stared on in total confusion and shock, unsure what to make of the new look of the Great Leviathan.
Laughing manically, Dartz yelled "The power that that girl had! It is incredible! And now, the very person you sought to protect, her very power shall destroy you both!"
With a evil roar, the serpent creature released a powerful orange beam from it's jaws, which met the beam from the four gods. The new energy pushed the blast that was threatening to overtake the creature back into the middle, and then back closer towards the four Egyptian Gods.
"NO WAY!" cried out Yami.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Illidan added in total shock.
With only a minimum area left between the four Egyptian Gods, the beam finally stopped. Focusing all of their energy on their Egyptian Gods, Illidan and Yami poured everything they had into their monsters.
"TOO STRONG!" Illidan said out with complete shock.
Glancing over at Illidan, Yami said "Hang in there Illidan!"
Channeling even more power into the blast, Dartz pushed the blast even further towards the group trying to stop him. With insane laughter, he yelled "I can feel you both slipping!"
Knowing the fate of the world was on their shoulders, both Illidan and Yami pushed all the energy they could muster into the Egyptian Gods, but still, the beams didn't budge.
"I refuse to give up!" Yami yelled in his mind as the beams continued to grind away on one another.
He then felt a sudden surge of energy surround him, and quickly realized it was the three Legendary Knights. Feeling their powers merging with his own, Yami heard them say in his mind "We will not forsake this world. Take what power we have and use it to stop Dartz. For all that live in this world and the Monster World, we ask that you defeat the Leviathan, once and for all!"
Mentally nodding back, Yami slowly took on their power and began to search himself for more power. Looking deep within his very core, he gathered energy together, merging it with the energy he had from the knights.
Meanwhile, Illidan was giving everything he had to Anubis, but was soon realizing it wasn't enough. He was nearly drained, and yet the combined blasts of the four gods was hardly holding it's ground.
Fear spread through him as he knew that the end might truly be coming. "It can't end like this! But what else can I do!?"
As Illidan contemplated what to do, he heard a mighty, if not familiar, roar, causing him to look off towards the source. There, he saw a large dark orange dragon with massive wings and powerful clawed hands and feet flying towards the battle.
"Tyrant Dragon…" Illidan said with complete confusion in his voice.
Instantly, he spotted a figure on the dragon's back, which he knew immediately. "MARIE!" he screamed.
She was riding on the dragon's back, latched on, but as the dragon came to a stop, she stood up and hopped off. Pointing at the Leviathan, Marie cried out "Tyrant Dragon, help the Egyptian Gods with your Tyrant Flame!"
Roaring in response, the mighty dragon flew forward to the side of the gods and let loose a blazing stream of flames. The stream joined the already weakening beam of the four gods, increasing the beams output.
Realizing that the blast of Tyrant Dragon wasn't going to help win, Marie moved to Illidan's side, pushing all that she had into the blast.
"It's not enough Marie!" Illidan quickly yelled.
Knowing he was right, Marie replied "What do we do then?!"
Thinking for a moment, an idea came to Illidan. "Marie, there is only one way to win this battle, but we have to have your help."
Nodding, she said "You know I'll do whatever I can."
"You have to tap into your hidden power to help us gain the upper hand. It's the only way. Otherwise, there is no way we'll win!" Illidan stated, knowing Marie wouldn't take it lightly.
Marie's brow furrowed at the statement, asking "How? You know I can't control it!"
"You have to find a way Marie. Let it all go! It's alright! Remember all the people he's hurt, all the people that will get hurt! Now let that help feed your power!" Illidan told her as he felt his strength slowly slipping even more.
"But…" Marie started, but suddenly felt Illidan slipping. His strength was faltering, and he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. Thoughts of a world without Illidan began invading her mind. Then it happened…
Letting out a loud scream as waves of energy began to pour off of her body, Marie felt herself become lost within the power as usual. As she stopped screaming, Marie glared at Dartz.
"I WILL NOT LET YOU KILL THE ONE I LOVE!" she screamed.
With that said, she began sending large amounts of energy to Tyrant Dragon, who roared loudly as it's power increased greatly. Feeling the increase in power, the dragon began releasing a larger stream of flames, which was at least ten times it's original strength. The blast caused the combined stream to grow many times larger, pushing the blast that had been grinding dangerously close to the group back to the middle of the battlefield.
"IT'S NOT POSSIBLE! NO ONE SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH POWER!" screamed Dartz.
Marie only glared at him as she continued to supply her dragon with more power. Another powerful burst of energy filled the dark orange dragon as the blast moved the grinding blasts further back towards the large orange glowing serpent.
Seeing this, Yami cried out "It's time to end this! Egyptian Gods, finish this now!"
Sending all the energy he had gathered from within himself, along with the strength of the three Legendary Knights, the Egyptian Gods roared in loudly as their energies soared to new levels. Feeling their new strength, they sent out larger blasts, helping push the grinding blast further back towards Dartz.
The small margin protecting the large serpent was now small. Like how the four Egyptian Gods had struggled, now the Leviathan found itself struggling to hang on. Still, there was some distance to cover, but yet, Dartz realized he was on the losing end now.
Illidan glanced up from his struggle to see that Dartz was now weakening. Searching himself for any kind of energy left, Illidan found new strength, the strength in which he always depended on. This strength was the love that he sought to protect.
Forcing it out, Illidan screamed out "In the name of all that is worth protecting, Anubis, end this battle now!"
Feeling the surge in energy from it's master, the black dog headed god's eyes glowed brightly white as it sent out even more energy into the combined blasts of the gods and the large dragon. The group of monsters watched in triumph as the blast went hurtling back towards the serpent, which could only roar loudly as the blast struck it. The blast ripped through the mighty creature's head, making an exit hole in the back of it's body for the blast. The creature roared loudly as it burst into flames and began to plummet towards the sea.
As it crashed into the sea, spheres of light came flying out of the Leviathan. Suddenly, the aurora began to fade, and the clouds began to break up, allowing sunshine to peak out.
Satisfied that the battle was over, Yami, Illidan, and Marie watched as the four Egyptian Gods and Tyrant Dragon vanished into thin air.
Pulling Marie into a tight embrace and kissing Marie passionately, Illidan pulled back, saying "You did it!"
"Yes, thank you Marie. We couldn't have done it without you." Yami said gratefully. He then bowed humbly to her and took his leave.
Smiling back at Illidan, Marie said "Thank you for helping me find the strength to call on my power. But I have to go…"
Knowing she was exhausted, much like himself and Yami, Illidan nodded, saying "I'll see you soon."
She smiled back and gave a quick kiss to Illidan before vanishing herself. Smiling at how proud he felt of Marie, Illidan descended back to the ground.
