Chapter 48: Changing Destiny Part 3

The eight remaining members of the Order were all gathered into one large room. The room's floor had various markings on it, done in red ink.

"Do you really think this will work?" Came the reply of one of the members.

"Don't question me." Lina quickly answered. "Ayato's life force is fading fast. If we don't act now he'll be lost forever."

"Tch. I don't see why that's such a bad thing, it's not like we need him or anything." Ryuji interjected. Lina simply glared at him, shutting him up effectively.

"Alright! Get ready!" Hitaki ordered. All the members took their respective spots. They all held out their hands. "You know this would be a lot more easier if we hadn't lost five of our members." Another member said.

"Quiet! No more complaining!" Lina ordered. "We begin now!" All at once the eight members began chanting in a different language, a language that was lost to the world today.

The entire room was engulfed in a giant dark aura. The Order kept up their chant, as the dark aura grew more prominent. 'This has to work'
Lina thought to herself. 'It will work!'

A dark portal appeared behind Akari, who instantly turned around. From this portal emerged Nico. Akari looked at her with a suprised look on her face.

Nico took one good looked at Akari's face and sighed heavily. "So Ayato's gone."

Nico looked around the destroyed room. "I was afraid that this would happen."

Akari tried to wipe away her tears but they wouldn't stop falling, so she gave up trying to wipe them away. "H-how...did..you..f-find me?" Akari said between sniffles.

Nico didn't answer. Her eyes were closed, she seemed to be meditating as she stood there not moving a single muscle. Akari slowly got back up to her feet, looking at the younger girl. A confused expression on her face.

After a few more moments Nico opened her eyes and turned to Akari, "Come on let's get outta here. If hope is on our side everything will be alright."

"I'm not leaving!" Akari yelled. "I refuse to!" Nico sighed, she figured it wouldn't be easy.

This was it, the final duel of the GX Tournament. The entire stadium was quiet, everyone's attention was on one man. Chancellor Shepard was standing in the middle of the arena. He cleared his throat before he spoke.

"The time has finally come! The last two contestants will now battle for the title of GX Champ!"

The crowd awaited eagerly as the Chancellor continued to speak. "Our first competitor, from Duel Academy, Jaden Yuki!" The crowd cheered wildly as Jaden made his way towards the battlefield, waving to the crowd as he went.

"Show off!" Chazz yelled. (A/N: Everyone's back to normal.)

"Do you think Jaden can really win? Zane sure is scary looking." Exion said. "Since when did you start acting like Syrus?" Bastion asked.

"Yeah since when did you start acting like a fraidy cat!" Syrus joined in. Several moments passed. "Hey wait a minute!" Syrus yelled angrily, his brain finally registering what Bastion had said.

Bastion simply laughed. Alexis stayed silent, her eyes locked on Jaden. "Do your best Jaden!" She suddenly said in an outburst.

Jaden looked up and grinned at Alexis, waving at her. "You know I will!"
He called back.

"Ugh, would someone just kill me now!" Chazz said sounding disgusted.
Exion and Syrus glared at him. Chazz's sweat dropped, "I was only kidding you know, geez!"

"And let's not forget our other competitor! Zane Truesdale! Otherwise known as Hell Kaiser!" Zane walked into the arena, some people cheered while others booed him.

Zane looked right at Shepard, Shepard stared back. After a few moments Zane smirked and walked passed him, taking his place on the battle field.

"Ladies and gentlemen! These two duelists have defeated all others and now were gonna see which one of them is stronger!" Chancellor Shepard said trying to set the mood again.

Jaden smirked, "I never did get to pay you back for that first duel we had Zane!"

"Hmph." Zane replied as he activated his duel disk. "Alright Zane"
Jaden activated his duel disk as well. Both of the two duelists slid there respective decks into their deck slots.

"Get ready to get your game on!" Jaden declared. Zane simply smirked, "You had better do the same." Jaden smirked in return, "Don't worry about me! I'm always ready to throw down!"

"Duel!"

(A/N: It's me again! I just wanted to say that this duel is probably the longest and best duel I've ever worked on! So if you do normally read my duels, enjoy!)

Jaden: 4000/ Zane: 4000

"I'll go first!" Jaden declared. "Fine with me." Zane replied.

"Alright, draw!" Jaden examines his hand. "Sweet! I play the spell card Polymerization to fuse Bubbleman, Sparkman, and Avian to summon E-Hero Tempest(2800/2800) in attack mode! And I'll end my turn with that!"

"Wow Jaden sure is starting off strong." Syrus said. Exion, Bastion,
and Chazz nodded in agreement.

"Hmmm, we'll see how long it lasts." Aster says.

"My turn, my draw." Zane quickly adds the card to his hand, "I special summon Cyber Dragon to the field(2100/1600)." The metal dragon roared as it emerged on the field.

"Um, okay. How did he do that?" Exion asked no one in particular.
"Weren't you watching when I dueled him. If my brother's opponent has a monster on their side of the field he can special summon Cyber Dragon to the field." Syrus explained.

"Oh." Exion replied dumbly.

"Next I summon Bomber Dragon(1000/0) in attack mode." Zane smirked,
Jaden just looked at him confused. "Hey what gives! Neither one of your monsters are strong enough to take out Tempest."

"Bomber Dragon attack Jaden's Tempest, Bombs Away!" The dragon flew into Tempest, blowing up on contact. When the smoke settled, both monsters were gone.

Jaden had a look of utter shock on his face. "What the heck just happened?"

"When this card is destroyed by a monster in battle and sent to the graveyard then that monster is destroyed too." Zane explained.

"Okay, but how come you didn't lose any life points?" Jaden asked dumbfounded.

"Because of Bomber Dragon's second effect, when it attacks neither one of us recieve any battle damage." Zane replied. "Now that I've got Tempest out of the way I can attack you directly, Cyber Dragon attack!"

Jaden is pushed back by the attack but stands his ground.

Jaden: 1900/ Zane: 4000

"Man, didn't expect to be so low on life points so soon." Jaden exclaims while grinning.

"What's he grinning about, he's already lost half of his life points"
Chazz says. Syrus sweat drops, "That's Jaden for ya."

"I'll end my turn by playing two cards face down."

"Alright let's see what I get!" Jaden drew a card and looked at it.
"Whoa!"

Zane's brow raised. "Yeah, this'll work. I play the spell Silent Dead to bring back Bubbleman from my graveyard in defense mode(800/1200,
and since he's the only monster on my field I'm allowed to draw two more cards!"

Jaden swiftly drew two more cards, eager to see what he'd get. "Great!
I send Bubbleman from the field and Metamorphosis from my hand to the graveyard to summon E-Hero Neo Bubbleman(800/1200)."

"Next I'll equip him with Bubble Blaster to raise his attack by 800 points! Now Bubbleman attack Cyber Dragon with Bubble Blast!" The blast of water is shot forth at Cyber Dragon who sends it right back to Bubbleman, destroying his blaster.

"What was the point in that?" Zane asked.

"Simple, any monster that battles Neo Bubbleman is automatically destroyed after the damage step."

Cyber Dragon is destroyed, creating a massive explosion.

"I'll throw down a face down. Your turn."

"My draw, I activate my trap card, Call of the Haunted to bring back Cyber Dragon!" Cyber Dragon roars as it's reborn.

Zane stares at the face down card on Jaden's field. "Hmph. Cyber Dragon destroy Neo Bubbleman!"

Bubbleman is easily destroyed. "I activate my trap, Hero Spirits! I take no damage from your Cyber Dragon's attack, not only that, but your monster is destroyed, or did you forget my monster's special effect."

"Well at least he's hanging in there." Syrus says worriedly. Exion looks around confused, "Hey Syrus! Where's your girlfriend?"

Syrus looked around. "I don't know she was here a minute ago, she must have had to use the restroom or something."

"I play the spell Ancient Rules! This card allows me to special summon a monster onto the field, and I choose E-Hero Neos(2500/2000)!"

"I activate my trap card, another Call of the Haunted to bring back my Cyber Dragon again!" Zane says.

The Ultraman looking monster appears on the field, setting it's sights on Zane's Cyber Dragon.

"Alright Neos attack Zane's Cyber Dragon!" Neos hits the metal dragon with a right hook, causing it to explode.

Jaden: 1900/ Zane: 3600

"I place two cards face down and end my turn."

Zane draws a card, it's Polymerization. "I play the spell Monster Reborn to bring back my Cyber Dragon, then I'll fuse it with my two monsters in my hand to summon Cyber End Dragon(4000/2500)!"

"Uh-oh, Neos is in trouble." Exion says.

"Don't be so quick to judge, I'm sure those two face down cards will protect him." Alexis says.

"Cyber End Dragon destroy his Neos!"

"Go trap card! Draining Shield!"

"Hmph, I activate the Quick-Play spell De-fusion!" The Cyber End Dragon splits back into three Cyber Dragons.

"I'm not done Zane, I activate my other trap! Staunch Defender! Now your Cyber Dragons have to attack my Neos!"

One by one the Cyber Dragons launch themselves at Neos, and one by one Neos punches all of them into a million pieces.

Jaden: 1900/ Zane: 2400

The entire stadium cheers at Jaden's display of skill. "Yeah! Now Zane can't re-fuse them into Cyber End Dragon!" Syrus exclaims.

"Yes, but there are other ways to summon fusion monsters, keep that in mind Syrus." Bastion says.

"I'm not done either Jaden, I play the spell Time Fusion, by discarding one card in my hand I can special summon one fusion monster from my graveyard unto the field in my next turn."

"Aw." Syrus whines. "I told you." Bastion says.

Zane removes Cyber Ouroboros from the game. "Also, when Cyber Ouroboros is removed from the game, I can remove a card from my hand also to draw one card from my deck." Zane delcares.

Zane looks at the card he drew, "And I'll place this card face-down.
Your turn Jaden."

'I have to figure out how I'm gonna deal with Zane's Cyber End Dragon'
Jaden stares at the lone card on Zane's field. 'What could that card be?'

Jaden draws a card, 'This should help me deal with Cyber End Dragon'
"I place one card face down, now for my battle phase."

"I activate my trap! Threatening Roar, you can't declare an attack this turn."

Jaden started laughing, "Man! Your really got me in a tight situation here!"

Everyone's sweat dropped.

Jaden wiped a lone tear from his eye. "Well I guess I'll have to end my turn."

"Hey! Why doesn't Jaden switch his Neos to defense position!" Exion asks.

"You sure are asking a lot of questions that we expect from Syrus"
Chazz says annoyed.

"Well I'm not familiar with this Zane guy so how should I know!" Exion retorts.

"When Cyber End Dragon attacks a monster and destroys it while it's in defense mode, the difference would be dealt to the opponent's life points." Bastion explains.

"Thanks." Exion replies.

"It's my turn, which means my Cyber End Dragon is now summoned to the field." Cyber End Dragon reappears on the field, letting out a mighty roar.

"Now attack Neos!"

"I activate my trap card, Soul Union, this card increases my Neos attack by the amount of an Elemental Hero's attack that I have in the graveyard, and I choose E-Hero Tempest, giving Neos 2800 extra attack points! Go Neos, take down his Cyber End Dragon!"

Neos charges through the blast of Cyber End Dragon and destroys it with a powerful uppercut.

Jaden: 1900/ Zane: 1100

Jaden smirks, "Your gonna have to do better than that Zane!"

Zane looks at his hand, "I summon one monster face down and end my turn."

Jaden quickly draws a card. 'I've got him playing defense now, this duel will be over in no time!'

Jaden looks at the card he just drew, "This duel is so over! I summon E-Hero Burstinatrix(1200/800) in attack mode."

"Jaden's got this one in the bag for sure!" Syrus exclaims.

Aster simply stares at Zane's face-down monster. 'I'm not too sure about that.'

"Neos attack Zane's face-down monster. Go!"

The face-down card flips up to reveal Cyber Jar. Jaden's expression changes from that of confidence, to utter shock.

Suddenly all the monsters on the field explode. "Now we pick up five cards from our decks and show them to eachother." Zane informs Jaden.

The two duelists picked up the top five cards on their decks and showed them to eachother. "Now we immediately summon any level four or lower monster onto the field in attack or defense postion, as for the rest of the cards, we keep them in our hands." Zane says.

"I summon Cyber Phoenix(1200/1600) and Proto Cyber Dragon(1100/600)
in attack mode." Zane declares.

"I summon Wroughtweiler(800/1200) and N-Air Hummingbird(800/600) in defense mode. And before I end my turn I activate his special effect! I gain 500 life points for each card in your hand, and you have four!"

Jaden: 3900/ Zane: 1100

"Man this Zane guy is tough!" Exion exclaims.

"Well of course he is, he is related to me after all." Syrus says.

Exion's sweat drops, "I'm pretty sure that him being tough has nothing to do with you two being related Syrus."

Alexis rolls her eyes.

"I'll end my turn with that." Jaden says.

Zane draws a card, "I place one card face down, next I summon Hell Dragon(2000/0) in attack mode. Now I'll use him to attack your Wroughtweiler!"

Hell Dragon burns Wroughtweiler to a crisp with it's Hellfire attack.
Jaden smirks, "Wroughtweiler doesn't rollover that easily, when he's destroyed I can get an Elemental Hero and one Polymerization from my graveyard and add it to my hand." (A/N: Elemental Hero Sparkman is the card he chose by the way.)

"Fine by me, Proto Cyber Dragon attack Air Hummingbird!" The prototype dragon charges up electrical energy and blasts Air Hummingbird to dust.

"Finally, Cyber Phoenix attack Jaden directly!" Cyber Phoenix encases it's body in flames and slams into Jaden, making him fall flat on his butt.

Jaden: 2700/ Zane: 1100

"When Cyber Phoenix attacks or is attacked I can draw one card from my deck. And I'll end my turn with a face down."

Jaden dust himself off as he gets up, he draws a card.

"I activate my trap card, Attack Reflector Unit!" Zane declares. "I can tribute a Cyber Dragon on my side of the field to special summon Cyber Barrier Dragon."

"But you don't have a Cyber Dragon on the field." Jaden informs him.

"Proto-Cyber Dragon is treated as a Cyber Dragon." Zane explains as it's replaced by Cyber Barrier Dragon(800/2800) in attack mode.

Suddenly Winged Kuriboh appears besides Jaden. "Oh hey Kuriboh, what's up!" Jaden greets his friend.

Winged Kuriboh cooes. "Oh, you came to watch the duel?" Jaden asks as Winged Kuriboh cooes happily.

Zane squints his eyes, could what he be seeing be real? There was a faint outline of a Winged Kuriboh floating around Jaden. "?"

Jaden noticed the look Zane was giving him, "What's wrong Zane?"

"Nothing." Zane says as he continues to stare at the the outline of Winged Kuriboh. "Alright then, back to the duel!" Jaden exclaims.

"I fuse Sparkman and Clayman together to create E-Hero Thunder Giant (2400/1500) in attack mode. Next I'll use his special effect to destroy your Cyber Barrier Dragon!"

Thunder Giant slams his two giant fists together, creating a shockwave that destroys Cyber Barrier Dragon. "Now end the duel Thunder Giant!
Attack!"

"Jaden wins! Jaden wins!" Syrus exclaims jumping up and down. "Would you stop doing that!" Chazz yells trying to make him sit down.

"I activate my Quick-Play spell Limiter Removal! All machine type monsters on my field gain double their original attack points! Go Cyber Phoenix, attack!"

Both monster's attacks collide causing a massive explosion.

Zane draws a card. "I end my turn." Jaden says.

Zane smirks, "My turn. My draw."

Syrus sits down, "And I thought that the duel was over."

'Zane has improved greatly since I last dueled him. I don't think I'd be able to beat him now.' Aster thinks to himself. He turns to look at Jaden. 'And if this keeps up I'm sure Jaden will lose.'

Zane draws a card, "I play the spell card Different Dimension Capsule!
This card remains face up on my field until my second standby phase. I'm allowed to pick one card from my deck and remove it from play face-down. On my second standby phase this card is destroyed and the card I removed from play comes into my hand." Zane finishes.

"Next I summon Cyber Soldier of Dark World(1400/1200) in attack mode and I'll attack you directly."

Jaden braces himself as the monster attacks him.

Jaden: 1400/ Zane: 1100

"I'll end my turn by placing one card face down." Zane informs Jaden.

Jaden draws a card, "I activate the spell card Hope of Fifth, I choose five Elemental Hero monsters from my graveyard and add them to my deck, then I have to shuffle my deck."

Jaden chooses Neos, Avian, Burstinatrix, Sparkman, and Clayman and then shuffles his deck. "Next I can draw two cards from my deck!" Jaden draws two cards, Neos and Clayman.

"I summon E-Hero Clayman in defense mode, and I'll end my turn with a face-down."

Zane draws a card, "I play Graceful Charity and draw three cards." Zane draws three cards, "And I discard two." Zane discards Cyber Dark Horn and Cyber Dark Keel.

"I play the spell Battle Fusion! Now my monster's attack increases by your monster's attack, which makes his attack just enough to destroy your Clayman!"

Clayman shatters as the attack connects, "And that's it for my turn."

Jaden draws a card, 'Next turn Zane gets what ever card he sent from his deck using that Different Dimension Capsule. Whatever it is it can't be good, for me anyway.'

"I activate the spell Monster Reincarnation, by discarding one card from my hand I bring back Wroughtweiler from the graveyard and back into my hand, and I'm gonna summon him to the field in defense mode.
And I'll end my turn with a face-down."

Turn moves back to Zane, "The effect of Diffent Dimension Capsule activates." The card explodes and Zane gets the card he had removed from play, Cyber Dark Edge.

"I attack Wroughtweiler with my Soldier." Wroughtweiler falls victim to Zane's monster.

Jaden picks Polymerization and Clayman from the graveyard and adds it to his hand.

"That's it for my turn." Zane watches as Jaden draws a card, his face lights up when he sees it. 'Seems he's drawn the card he needs'
Zane thinks to himself.

"I play the spell Pot of Greed!" Jaden draws two more cards. "I summon E-Hero Sparkman onto the field. Next I activate the spell Polymerization to fuse Avain with Burstinatrix to summon Flame Wingman."

"But I'm not done yet, now I play the spell Miracle Fusion, by removing Flame Wingman and Sparkman from play I can summon E-Hero Shining Flare Wingman(2500/2100) in attack mode. He gains 300 attack points for every Elemental Hero in my graveyard, making his total attack points climb to 3400! Now attack his Soldier, Shining Rush!"

Flare Wingman smashed through Cyber Soldier. "And when Flare Wingman destroys a monster you lose life points equal to that monster's attack points.

"Ya Jay, your gonna win!" Syrus jumps up from his seat again.

Flare Wingman rushes towards Zane. "I activate my face down card, Trap Booster, by discarding one card from my hand I can play a trap card from my hand!"

Zane sends Cyber Dark Edge to the graveyard. "Now I activate my trap!
Fusion Guard! By randomly discarding one fusion monster from my fusion deck any damage I would recieve from a monster's effect is negated.

Cyber Twin Dragon is sent to the graveyard. Shining Flare Wingman retreats back to Jaden's side of the field. "Man this is one sweet duel! Guess I'll end my turn by throwing down a face-down!"

"My draw. I play the spell Overload Fusion, by removing Cyber Dark Horn, Edge, and Keel from play I can special summon Cyber Dark Dragon (10000/1000)!"

"Cool monster, but he still can't take on my Wingman!" Jaden exclaims.
"Not yet it can't." Zane replies.

"Huh, what do you mean not yet?" Jaden asks.

"Cyber Dark Dragon's special effect allows it to equip a dragon type monster from my graveyard and eqiup it to it, and I choose Hell Dragon,
increasing my dragon's attack by 2000 points.

"Um, no offense Zane, but it's still not strong enough." Jaden says.

"Which is why he gains 100 attack points for every monster in my graveyard, and seeing as I have eleven his attack increases by another 1100, which means his attack is 4100! Cyber Dark Dragon destroy his monster with Dark Destruction Blast!"

The mass of dark energy slammed into the shining hero, vaporizing it.

Jaden: 700/ Zane: 1100

"I activate my trap card, Hero Counterattack! When a monster on my side of the field is destroyed in battle, you get to select one card from my hand, if it's a monster card with the name Elemental Hero in it I get to destroy one monster on your side of the field and the monster you chose is summoned to my field, if not than the card goes to my graveyard." Jaden explains.

"I choose the card on the far right." Zane says.

"Good choice! For me anyway! I summon Elemental Hero Neos(2500/2000)
in attack mode, and I'm getting rid of your Cyber Dark Dragon!" Jaden exclaims as he points at Zane's dragon.

Cyber Dark Dragon roars before it explodes, leaving nothing but dust in it's wake.

"Looks like Jaden's back in control again." Bastion says. Chazz nods while everyone else are too enamored with the duel to say anything,
Aster included.

Zane smirks, "Hmph. I switch my Cyber Soldier to defense mode, I then place two cards face down."

"Alright my draw! I play the spell Neo Space!" The arena suddenly turns to outerspace. "I declare Contact Fusion between Neos and Flame Scarab!
Creating Elemental Hero Flare Neos(2500/2000). With Neo Space on the field he gains an extra 500 attack points. And that's not all! Since Neo Space is a spell card he gains another 400 extra attack points. Attack his Soldier with Flame Burst Rush!"

Flare Neos' body emits flame as he charges into Cyber Soldier, causing a massive explosion.

"I'll end my turn with that." Jaden says confidently.

Zane draws a card, "I activate the spell card Spell Retrieval! By paying 1000 life points I can bring one spell card from my graveyard and place it in my hand!" Zane chooses Overload Fusion.

Jaden: 700/ Zane: 100

"Next I activate my trap card, Return From The Different Dimension!
By giving up half of my life points I can special summon as many of my monsters that were removed from play! I special summon Cyber Dark Horn,
Edge, and Keel!"

Jaden: 700/ Zane: 50

"Then that means-!" Jaden says suprised.

"That's right I play the spell Overload Fusion to remove Cyber Dark Horn, Edge, and Keel from play to summon another Cyber Dark Dragon (1000/1000)! Next I choose Hell Dragon and equip it to Cyber Dark Dragon to raise it's attack to 3000!" Zane says.

"Furthermore, his attack increases to 4200 because I have twelve monsters in my graveyard, it's time to end this! Cyber Dark Dragon destroy his Flare Neos!"

Jaden can only look on in shock as Flare Neos is destroyed, along with the rest of his life points.

Jaden: 0/ Zane: 50

For several moments the entire stadium was silent. Jaden still has a look of utter shock on his face.

"Well it would seem we have a winner! Zane Truesdale!" Chancellor Shepard exclaimed. Several cheers and boos could be heard as the entire stadium erupted into noise.

"Aw, Jaden lost." Syrus said as he slumped into his chair, Exion doing the same. "That may be, but it was one of the best duels I've ever seen." Bastion says.

"I knew he'd lose all along! If that were me..." Chazz turns to see Alexis, Exion, and Syrus glaring at him, they looked as if they were gonna seriously hurt him if he didn't quit while he was ahead. Chazz sinked into his seat "Eep!"

Aster sighed as he closed his eyes, "So that's how it ends, huh Jaden?"

After recovering from his initial shock Jaden walked up to Zane. "I never expected to lose, not even for a second! Your still as strong as ever!" Jaden says grinning.

"I can't wait till our next duel!" Jaden holds his hand out, offering Zane a handshake. After a few seconds Zane accepts and the two shake hands.

Chancellor Shepard walks up to Zane, "Well seeing how your the winner Zane your entitled to your prize."

Zane blinked once, "Prize? I don't want it. That duel was a good enough prize for me."

Shepard's sweat dropped, "What do you mean you don't want it. Don't you at least want to hear what it is?" The bald man asked.

Zane was too busy looking around the stadium to hear what Shepard had said. "Um Zane?" Shepard questioned. Zane suddenly pointed into the audience. "Whatever the prize is, give it to her, Blair Flannigan." Zane says.

"WHAT?!" Jaden practically screams.

"Uh, well, okay." Shepard agreed.

Zane simply walked away, exiting the arena. "Will Blair Flannigan please come down to the arena." Chancellor Shepard said.

Several seconds later Blair was looking at the bald man with a confused look on her face. "What do you want?" She asked.

"Well Zane didn't want the prize, so he told me to give it to you." Shepard said.

"Really, that was so sweet of him!" Blair said with hearts in her eyes.
Shepard's sweat dropped, "Yes well the prize is anything you want, that I can give, mind you, nothing impossible now!"

"Then I know exactly what I want! I want to be put in Slifer Red and live in the same dorm as my sweet Jaden!" Blair said, hearts floating around her head.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Jaden screamed.

Nico frowned as she sat next to Akari, who had refused to leave. Nico didn't know how long it had been but Akari hadn't stop crying yet, not that she could blame her or anything. She'd probably act the same way if Syrus had died.

"Coo!" Akari looked up, "Kuriboh!? Is that you?!"

Nico looked around not seeing or hearing anything, "?"

Akari slowly stood up, "It is you!" Kuriboh cooed happily. Akari looked down to the floor sadly, "If your looking for Ayato your too late."

"Coo!" Kuriboh floated around the light particles, all that was left of Ayato. "What?! Your saying that's Ayato?!" Akari asked.

Kuriboh nods.

"But that's not gonna bring him back." Akari says sadly.

Kuriboh cooes again. "Huh? What do you mean Ayato's coming back!?"

Suddenly the light particles stopped floating around. "?!" Akari looks on shocked as the light particles started to form together. After several seconds the light particles take on the shape of a person.

Akari walks up to it, her hand reaching to touch it. "Don't touch it!" Nico shouts. Akari turns to look at her questioningly. "If you touch it now then there's no way the Order will be able to bring him back."

As if on que a bright light illuminates the room, both Nico and Akari shield there eyes. Once the light fades Kuriboh cooes happily. Ayato had returned.

All eight remaining members of the Order had collasped to the ground.
They all removed their hoods, wiping the sweat from their brows. "That wouldn't have been so hard if we had more members!" One of them said.

Lina simply glared at him. "Quiet old man. All that matters is that we got the job done."

"I'm not that old, I'm only 56!" The old man retorted.

Lina simply ignored him. Ryuji frowned as he got up, having every intention to leave the room. "Ryuji!" Lina called. He stopped and turned around. "Don't even think about it." She warned.

Ryuji simply smiled, "I would never do anything to make you angry"
He said, "After all. You know my feelings about you better than anybody else."

Lina didn't reply. Ryuji turned away, 'I also know that you don't feel the same.' He thought to himself bitterly as he left the room.

"Am I? Alive?" Ayato asked as he looked around the damp room. "Coo!"
Kuriboh flew around his head happily. "Kuriboh?"

Akari walked up to Ayato. Ayato looked at her, confused, he noticed a single tear fall from her face and hit the ground. "Akari?" He questioned.

Akari grabbed him and kissed him deeply.

Nico smiled, 'So they were able to pull it off.' She thought to herself. Kuriboh happily floated around the couple. "Wow! Maybe I should do that more often!" Ayato grinned.

Akari smacked him in the back of the head. "Ouch what was that for?!"
Ayato asked. "For making me worry like that, idiot!"

Ayato simply smiled, "Well I'll just have to make it up to you won't I." Ayato said as he gently stroked Akari's backside. "Pervet!" SMACK!

Nico sighed as her sweat dropped.

One Month Later

"I heard that Anna left Duel Academy not too long ago." Alexis whispers to Akari. "Yeah I heard about that too." Akari replies.

"And that's why you should always look your best." Hitaki finished her dueling "lesson".

"Well, any questions?" She asked.

"Uh I have a question, are you seeing anyone?" An Obelisk Blue student asked.

Hikari's sweat dropped, "Any other questions? Ayato, Jaden, Syrus"
She asked.

Ayato, Jaden, and Syrus were currently sleeping. The bell suddenly rang, waking the three teens up. "Well I'm glad you guys are awake, you three have the honor of cleaning the room for me, see ya!" She said as she winked at them and left.

Ayato, Syrus, and Jaden all looked at eacthother and said "Aw man!"

"Serves you three right, sleeping in class!" Alexis says. "Aw don't be like that Lex, she doesn't even talk about dueling!" Jaden whined.
Alexis merely shrugged and said, "How would you know that, your never awake." She countered.

"Huh?! You mean she does talk about dueling?!" Jaden asked. "I was just kidding Jaden." Alexis said as her sweat dropped.

Ten Minutes Later

Jaden and the gang had set up a picnic. Jaden was eating more than everyone else. "What are you going to do? Blair's gonna be living with you next school year." Ayato said.

Jaden nearly choked on his food, Alexis quickly coming to his aid.
After Jaden had sucessfully swallowed his food he sighed, "You just had to remind me, didn't you?"

Ayato simply laughed. "Well it sure has been an interesting year."
Ayato says, to which everyone else nods. "I wonder what's gonna happen next year?"

"I bet somebody's gonna have to save the world again." Exion jokingly says.

"Well with the Order still out there your probably right." Alexis says.
"Hey where's Syrus?" Jaden says after swallowing another hotdog.

The gang turns around to see Syrus and Nico making out by a tree.
"Hey that's not a bad idea!" Alexis grabs Jaden by the hand and drags him off. "But I haven't even finished eating yet!" Jaden complained.

Ayato turned to see Akari grinning at him wickedly. Ayato's sweat dropped. As Akari drags Ayato away Exion sighes. "I really need to get myself a girlfriend."

Well that's it, please review as I'd really like to know what you thought of this final chapter. Though I'm pretty sure some people aren't too happy about Jaden losing to Zane(Or maybe you are?). For a sneak peek at Part three scroll down a little, but I'll understand if you don't want to spoil yourself.

Yu-Gi-Oh GX: The Eternal Struggle of the Duelists Sneak Peek

It was raining outside, the rain poured down hard on the streets,
lighting flashed through the sky. No one was outside, save for one person who was standing outside the Mutou resident.

Ayato plopped down on the couch, flipping through channels. He yawned and looked at the clock. '12:30. Man am I bored, but I'm not really tired.' He thought to himself.

'Hmmmmm, maybe I should call Jaden and the others, see if they can come over, yeah that sounds like a good idea. I'll have to do it later though.' He got up and went into the kitchen.

Once in the kitchen the door bell rang. "?!" Ayato looked at the door confused. 'Mom and dad couldn't be back already? Could they?' He thought to himself as the doorbell rang again.

"Alright I'm coming!" He called out as he made his way towards the door.
Ayato swung the door opened and was suprised to see Akari standing there. "A-Akari?"

Akari looked up at Ayato, and then down at the wet ground. "Akari, what's wrong?" Ayato asked, concern evident on his face. "How did you get here?" He asked as an afterthought.

Akari looked up, then looked away again and mumbled something. Ayato just stared at her. "Huh?"

Akari looked Ayato directly in the eye, "I want you to make love to me."

That's all your getting for now, at least until the story comes out,
which shouldn't be take no longer than a week. Anyway thanks for reading and don't forget to review! See ya!
