Atem lend against the headboard, looking through the window. He was up half the night, worried. 'How am I supposed to defeat someone when I don't know who it is?'

Feeling Anzu moving he looked down to see the brunette opening her eyes. Checking the clock he saw that it was midnight.

"Atem stop doubting yourself. Joey, Tristan, Isis and I have faith in you. Just have faith in yourself." She sat up.

"Thank you…" Atem smiled. "…for those words of encouragement."

"Atem, you need to get some sleep. You had been up for half the night."

"How do you know that, mother?" Atem asked, sarcastically.

"I heard your thoughts. You and I are connected, remember?"

"I remember. You and I used our link for half the night so we wouldn't disturb anyone." He gave her a wink.

"Stop it." Anzu blushed.

Atem lend forward and kissed her. Anzu gave into it, as she moved her hands up Atem's chest to hug his neck. Atem flipped her over without breaking the kiss so that Anzu was on the bottom while his body pressed against hers. He hugged her waist as the kiss became more passionate.

I love you. Atem opened their link

I love you, too. Anzu replied.

Are you ready? Atem asked. I am going to pleasure you all night long.

I like the sound of that. Anzu nodded.

Neither Anzu nor Atem regretted been each other's first. To them it felt right and would always treasure that along with the other moments they will share for a lifetime.

Opening her legs, Atem came between them and began thrusting.

Atem cared deeply for Anzu, more than anything else including his life. He saw the love she held for him and when she was thought to be dead he felt a part of him died with her too. He would have hunted and killed the person that dared took his love away, if she hadn't returned.

Enjoying her moans, he kissed her neck.

Anzu saw the love Atem held for her, and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. She held the grip around Atem's neck, firmly.

Atem-chan…

Anzuko. Atem parted from her neck and clash his lips onto hers. They both knew what was coming next.

It was now nine a.m. when Atem and Anzu walked into the stadium.

Anzu had gone to the stands where Joey, Tristan, and Mai were sitting. Odion was nowhere to be seen while Atem made his way to the field.

Marik stood in the centre with Roland.

Kaiba and Mokuba watched from a distance as the final got under way.

Atem and Marik shuffled their decks before Roland said, "Let the duel begin."

Marik took Monster Reborn from his Graveyard. He then placed a card face down.

"Now I summon Swallowtail Spike Lizard, in defence mode."

As long as it remains in defence mode, Marik will receive 1000 Life Points each turn Swallowtail Spike Lizard is summoned to a person's side of the field and decreases that person's life points by 2000 when it is sent to the graveyard.

Atem summoned Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts in defence position before placing two cards face down.

Bowganian's effect inflicted 300 damaged to Atem 1000 → 700 Life Points.

Marik gained 1000 Life Points due to Swallowtail Spike Lizard's effect.

Marik activated Monster Reborn to special summon the Winged Dragon of Ra in Phoenix Mode. (0 ATK / 0 DEF). He paid 1000 Life Points (Marik: 1700 → 700 Life Points) to activate The Winged Dragon of Ra's first special ability to destroy all monsters on Atem's side of the field.

Atem activated his own Monster Reborn to special summon Slifer and intercept Ra's effect. Slifer is destroyed instead.

Because Ra was Special Summoned, the Winged Dragon of Ra returns to Marik's Graveyard.

Marik activated Surprise Attack from beyond, allowing him to repeat his Battle Phase. The Winged Dragon of Ra returned to the field. This time in its normal form (0 ATK / 0 DEF).

Marik aays all but one of his life points.

(Marik: 700 → 1 Life Points).

In order to activate the Winged Dragon of Ra's second special ability and increase its power by the total amount of life points tribute.

The Winged Dragon of Ra: 0 → 699 ATK/ 0 → 699 DEF).

Atem activated Spell Card, Soul Taker, allowing Marik to gain 1000 Life Points.

(Marik: 1 → 1001 Life Points)

But also allowing Atem to use one of Marik's monsters as a tribute. He choose Egyptian God Slime. According to Battle City Rules, a Fusion Monster is treated as a number of Tribute Monsters equal to its number of Fusion Material Monsters.

Atem tribute Egyptian God Slime and, since it is treated as a double Tribute. He then can activate Obelisk's special ability, destroying all of Marik's monsters and inflict 4000 damage to his life points.

The Winged Dragon of Ra's special effect makes it immune, but Marik would still lose 4000 Life Points.

Marik tributes Bowganian and Swallowtail Spike Lizard and pays all but one of his Life Points (Marik: 1001 → 1 Life Points), in order to activate the Winged Dragon of Ra's second special ability and increase its power by the total amount of ATK/DEF and Life Points tribute.

(Ra: 699 → 3899 → 4899 ATK / 699 → 2399 → 3399 DEF).

Marik activated Class System, a magic card but since Ra and Obelisk have the same level, Obelisk's effect is negated.

Marik used The Winged Dragon of Ra to attack Obelisk.

Since Atem had played Dark Magician Girl he is able to activate Magical Dimension:

"Now I sacrifice Obelisk the Tormentor and Gazelle, the King of Mythical Beasts to call forth Dark Magician." Atem said. "In attack position."

Atem removed all monsters from his hand, deck and graveyard from play and infused them into Ragnarok, in order to destroy the Winged Dragon of Ra.

Marik surrenders the Duel, by placing his right hand on the duel disk

Marik: 0 Life Points.

"Are you serious?" Atem asked. Marik nodded.

"Yes, I am."

Atem won.

"Atem, won." Anzu jumped for joy.

"Yeah, our buddy won." Joey jumped as will.

"Yeah!" Tristan grinned.

"The winner of the Battle City Finals is Atem Mutou!" Roland declared. "Now Ladies and Gentlemen, the helicopters are leaving in an hour time. Please gather your items quickly."

Informing them of where to meet the helicopters Roland left.

Wait! Atem, this seems too easy. Where is the so called evil one? Anzu asked.

You're right. Atem agreed. "Marik, who or what put you up to all this?"

"Bakura!" Marik answered. "I met him a few months back. After I told him of my rod and my plans to get out of been a tomb keeper he convinced me that getting the three gods cards was the only way to do so. In return for him getting me out I would give him my rod and my sisters' necklace."

Anzu, are you thinking what I am? Atem asked.

Yes. We better find Bakura before something bad happens.

Getting up from her seat, Anzu said. "Guys we better get going."

"Why?" Joey asked.

"We need to find Bakura before something bad happens.".

"I will see you on the helicopters. Okay Mai?" Joey said.

"Sure, I will save you a seat beside me." Mai gave him a short kiss.

Joey smiled as he left.

"Joey, since you're going out now, can I go on a date with your sister?" Tristan asked.

"Over my dead body!" Joey stopped and gave Tristan a deadly glare. "I will not have my baby sister dating someone as old and annoying as you!"

"Looks who is talking. You're dating a woman way older than you!" Tristan growled.

"Guys! We shouldn't be arguing about this now." Anzu told them.

"She's right." Joey said.

"Marik, where is Bakura?" Atem asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him since he lost." Marik turned to leave. "I better find Odion and pack."

"Okay." Atem turned to see Anzu, Joey and Tristan leaving. He ran out of the stadium and meet them in the mansion.

One Hour Later

"We have looked everywhere and still no Bakura!" Joey became frustrated.

The four friends stood on the beach along with Kaiba, Mokuba, Roland, Mai, Marik and Odion.

Mokuba came up to Anzu and handed her a white bottle.

"Here Anzu, I found this in Vivian's room. It has your name on it." Mokuba handed it to her.

"It's my pills. Thank you Mokuba." Anzu smiled.

"Welcome!" Mokuba returned the smile. He then walked to where his brother was.

"Man, how can a sweet little kid like Mokuba be related to that jerk?" Joey asked.

A few moments later noise could be heard from the mansion. Everyone looked and saw the roof breaking apart. Moments later a monster appeared.

"Ah…Kaiba, please tell me that's just a simulation?" Joey started to quiver.

"I wish I could underdog." Kaiba answered.

"That…That monster was living inside Bakura? That's just nasty!" Joey almost fainted.

"You foolish mortals." Zorc laughed. "Even without the items I have still come to life. Now it's time to finish what I have started three thousand years ago!"

Zorc lifted his hands up high and the sky turned black. He then looked down to see Anzu and Atem. "I thought I killed you two a long time ago? Never mind, I will make sure to finish what I started!"

Curling his hand into a fist. He prepared to kill.

Atem and Anzu jumped out of the way before Atem activated his duel disk. Taking out Ra he summoned it.

Joey activated his duel disk and summoned Red Eyes Black Dragon.

Ra turned into its Phoenix Mode and attacked Zorc, but barely weakened it.

As Red Eyes attacked Zorc bat the dragon away with his hand.

"Red Eye!" Joey cried.

Just then Hapie's Pet Dragon appeared and attacked.

Joey and Atem looked round to see Mai. "I can't let you boys have all the fun." She smiled.

Hapie's Pet Dragon barely fazed him before been destroyed.

"You fools! Leave the dragon battle to me!" Kaiba moved in front of them. Taking out his three Blue Eyes, he fused them before making it attacked. The three Blue Eyes managed to knock Zorc to the ground.

Anzu said, "Atem, remember you have to fuse the god cards together."

Atem took out Slifer and Obelisk and fused them with Ra.

"Wow!" Joey and Tristan said.

"That's got to be the most powerful duel monster ever." Kaiba muttered. "Another reason why I need to get them."

"You will not defeat me again!" Zorc got up. The Creator of Light, Horakthy attacked and with one punch send Zorc flying into the water. Clapping her hands together, a golden staff appeared.

"I will put an end to you once and for all, evil one." Horakthy trilled the staff till a gate way appeared above Zorc. Knocking the staff on the ground it opened and light started to surround him.

Knocking the staff two times, Zorc was destroyed.

Horakthy turned to Atem and Anzu. "I am happy to have served you again my King and Queen." She whispered before disappearing.

"What the f… just happened?" Joey asked. "Did that duel monster just talk and did it call Atem and Anzu King and Queen?"

"Relax Joey. We will explain it on the way home." Atem sighed.

Later at Night

After Kaiba's helicopters dropped everyone back onto the pier, Atem had finished explaining everything. Kaiba didn't believe it and called it rubbish. Joey and Tristan were still puzzled by it while Mai didn't really care.

"Master Marik, what do we do now?" Odion asked.

"We go home now to Isis and start a new life." Marik smiled. 'Finally I am free from this job, forever.' Marik and Odion looked at the gang once more then left.

"Joey, here is my number. Call me sometime." Mai gave him a wink.

"Sure." Joey drooled.

"See you guys around." Mai waved as she left.

"Joey, about your sister. Can I get her number?" Tristan asked.

"No way!" Joey started to run after Mai. "Hold up Mai, we need a ride, home."

"Come on. Serenity is old enough to make her own choice on who to date." Tristan ran after him.

Anzu and Atem laughed.

"They forgot that we live a few blocks from here." Anzu said.

"Looks like it. Come on Anzu, let's go home." Atem took her hand.

The next morning Anzu woke up and saw that it was eight a.m. Feeling Atem hugging her waist tighter, she looked up.

"Morning handsome."

"Morning beautiful." Anzu leaned upwards to greet his lips for a passionate kiss.

"I like waking up like this." Anzu rested back on his chest. "I feel so safe and loved in your arms."

"I know but when your parents come home I won't be sleeping with you for a while."

"Atem about my parents..."

"Yes, what's the matter?" Atem sat upwards carrying Anzu with him.

"They called me last night and said they weren't coming back."

"What?"

"The reason they were on that trip was to look for a new house. My dad had to move again cause of his job and as soon as they had found a house I would moved with them. I convinced them that it would be best for me to stay here."

"I am happy you're staying, but why?" Atem rubbed her cheek.

"I love you, number one. Number two, I would miss Joey and Tristan. Three, this is the seven time I have moved in the year and lastly if I had gone with them I would have been held a year back."

"So you know what this means?" Atem grinned.

"I do, but Gramps?"

"Gramps won't be back for a few months at least. He usually sends money to my account to last up to a year."

"So…" Anzu used her cute voice. Moving closer to him she rested her head on his chest.

"So?" Atem wrapped his arms around her waist. Anzu lifted her head and locked eyes with Atem. Leaning up she pressed her lips against his. Atem moaned as he fell onto the bed, taking Anzu with him. Anzu wrapped her hands around his neck, bringing him closer.

"Since no one is around to hear us. Please don't hold back."

"I never intended to, my Queen."

"I love you so much." Anzu moaned as Atem slid down to her neck.

"I love you too." Atem replied between kisses.

As Atem and Anzu made love, both failed to notice that the puzzle was glowing on the nightstand.
