Authoress Notes:

VB20:Oh my gosh, writing this has been so emotional and awesome for both of us. I know it's been a long time since we last updated, and I apologize for the long delay. School has kept us both busy, and as you guys know Blackrose's laptop crashed and burned, so she's not able to get online and help me finish the second to last chapter. There's one more after this and that's it. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and read this, it's been such a long and beautiful ride.

I wrote this entire out myself and it took forever, I got some of the inspiration after reading Hands To Heal A Broken Heart which is amazingly written and I thought of how I could write an entire battle scene. I just wanted to thank Blackrose for everything that's she's done for me while helping to write this story. Thank you girl so much, you've become such an awesome friend to me in the process and I love ya girl!

Chapter Fifteen

The Leviathan's eyes were a dark purple that glowed magically down at the former mer-prince, his friends, and its forehead was what looked like a purple and black figurine with blue-green hair that had its limbs melted and sewed into the Leviathan's skin. It took Yami a while before he realized that the black "figure" was Dartz himself, and he must have used his powers to fuse himself with the creature of darkness to increase his own power.

The fear and despair Tea felt inside her heart was like nothing she ever felt before. It was as if she was watching a horror show unfold right before her very eyes, only the star's were someone she loved more than anything and her beloved friends that would do anything to protect themselves from danger, even if it involved the other's getting hurt.

Everything had gotten so intense in the last few moments, that they had become distracted by the creature rising from the ocean waters to wreak havoc upon the land once again after it had attempted so many centuries ago. All of their monsters gave them a definite edge, but they did not make them invincible. Dartz himself was plenty powerful.

He had his long razor claws, sharp,deadly snake fangs, and the shadow power of the Orichalcos. Each of the group, a good match for the other, and each of them had fought their hearts out to defeat the darkness once and for all. Yami, Tea, Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Selene, Mai, Serenity, Bakura, Ryou, Serenity, Seto, Kisara, Marik, Ishizu, Emyr, and Akunamdon weren't even sure if the former Atlantean king had a heart at all to fight with.

"So you finally decided to show your face after all Dartz," Yami snarled, his deep voice dripping with anger.

The shadowy creature laughed once again darkly in response.

"So you little goody-do gooders have survived the assault of the Egyptian Gods. I'm pleased with your efforts, but this as far as you will course my dear boy and you pitiful fools are going to pay the consequences of meddling in my affairs for destroying the world and creating a brand-new one, and thanks you to Yami I was able to acquire all the pathetic human souls I needed so allow me to finish you and your little friends once and for all," he said.

Yami could no longer contain his rage. "Dartz!" he suddenly shouted out, "If you think that you can take control of Atlantis and the very ocean of my birth on the very behalf that evil stone that possessed your mind and heart then you are sadly and tragically mistaken. We will destroy you!"

At first there was nothing but silence but then Dartz started chuckling like a mad man. Soon his wicked laughter turned into that of a madman, before he finally spoke again.

"So be it, I'm so eager to finish you all off and make you scream!"

He lunged forward, snarling like a wild untamed beast his large claws raised as a ball of dark energy formed from the center of his palm. He aimed the blast right at the group and their monsters.

"Dodge it everyone!" Yami yelled.

That was before two strong vice grips wrapped themselves around his ankles. He had little time to scream for help, before the claws or hands dragged the former mer-prince off the sandy bank of the river and into the large vast ocean.

"Yami!" Tea screamed, as she caught his arm and held it as tight as she could in her grasp.

Yami fought hard against the surface of the dark waters, struggling and gasping to get free. Another strong grasp caught unto Tea's, he looked up to see Joey, Tristan, Yugi, Selene, Mai, Serenity, Ryou, and Serenity helping the love of his life free from the Leviathan's tight grip. They managed to get him free, as he went flying backwards the sandy and landed on his feet.

"Sliefer, attack!" Yami called out to the great dragon, who opened his second large mouth roaring, and sent a large white blast shockwave at Dartz. He flapped his giant red wings creating a blast wind to go with the white power blast.

It flew almost at a hundred miles an hour, aiming right for the large dark creature's head.

"Obliesk Fist of Fate!" Seto commanded.

The creature raised his giant blue fist as the sands of time formed in its claws, swirling around as if it had created a desert storm, also aiming for Dartz's sorry ass.

"Blue Eyes attack again also, WHITE LIGHTING!"

The Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon released a triple jet of white lightning while the Black Luster Soldier atop it sent a purple flame of energy flying from his curved blade. All the attacks, light and dark. icy cold and white-hot, surged and spiraled, joining into one great, powerful beam of blinding light.

"Red Eyes INFERNO FIRE BLAST!" Joey cried to his monster.

The onyx dragon gave an earth-shaking roar and flapped his powerful wings, rising into the air. He rose up a little ways before turning in a serpentine movement, facing the dark creature. With on last battle shriek, the dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a torrent of black, deep crimson flame. It burned and swirled, slicing through the air like a blazing dagger. It struck the side of Dartz's body, he cried out snarling loudly, leaving a large slash like scar.

"Goblin Zombie Darkness Blade!"

The demon creature's sword turned black once again, sending a blast straight towards the spot where Yami,Joey, and Selene had aimed for.

Dartz suddenly turned his blazing red eyes forward. Then he opened his unsightly huge monster jaws. The interior of his black mouth was like a nightmarish void, with his teeth projecting like sharp razor and swords in front of an eternal abyss of darkness. A large crimson light began to form at the back of his throat it rose like a bird's flapping wings until his entire ugly mouth was brightly illuminated and he unleashed it into a form of a ruby black fire jet fire stream.

Selene barely even managed to get out of its path, but she winced as the flame nearly missed her shoulder. She held up her hands so that her palms were facing upright as a silver and white colored shield formed. It extended around her like a giant dome bubble, wrapping around the entire gang like a plastic bag. It flowed freely around everyone like a flowly bubble, before she gracefully landed upon the sand,touching the cool smooth waters, as she felt the fine sand of the floor touching her feet. Dartz lunged forward to launch another attack but it got deflected by the shield's power and his own attack went right back at him.

"Impossible!" he hissed, launching another attack upon the void, but it was useless.

It exploded into a tiny black stars shattering like glass. "Don't put it in your day planner," Yami hissed. Blood seeped from the wounds that the wicked sorcerer had received. He staggered backward, staring at the pharaoh and his friends in complete terror.

The Eye of Horus was glowing brightly upon Yami's forehead as Dartz was suddenly stopped dead in his tracks at the glowing white light.

Yami stared unafraid into his enemy's fear-stricken/afraid eyes.

"I am the son of King Aknamkanon," he said, his voice echoing with the power of his Puzzle which hung around his neck. "And I now banish you Dartz back to the shadow realm from whence you came!"

A piercing loud shriek echoed from Dartz's lungs, as he grabbed his head in pain not understanding what was happening, his body arched backward in complete utter agony. He howled in rage, as cracks began to run all over his dark body, which was practically exploding with light and a small mixture of darkness. It seemed that the very power and attacks were destroying him from the inside. He stood tall over the group, like a messed up statue that was about to break, that was exactly what he was. There was a deep rumbling sound and then a high-pitched keen echoing. The incense smell was strong again and suddenly exploded into a million dark midnight shards, scattering everyone like breaking glass.

Pieces of the monster floated in the air for a long moment, the great beast that had attempted to destroy them first, with the very doomed power to annihilate the world was now a pile of black smoky ashes. Yami suddenly fell to his knee's into the sand, his body shaking with relief. Tea rushed to beside, her blue eyes full of worry.

"Are you all right?" she asked in a low voice.

He nodded, "I'm fine Tea."

"It's over we won!" Joey cheered, as Tristan slapped him a high-five.

"You said it brother!"

Joey gave Mai a sweet kiss , Serenity, and Selene joined hands cheering also. Seto picked up Kisara and swung her around in a circle, before placing a beautiful kiss upon her lips. Duke gave Joey and Tristan both bone-crushing hugs.

Ryou looked at Serenity tenderly,capturing her lips in his.

Yugi, Ishizu, Marik, Yami,Tea,Joey,Tristan, Duke, Ryou, Bakura, Selene, Serenity, Seto, and Kisara embraced along with their father and Emyr into a giant group hug.

"I'm just glad that we managed to kick his sorry butt!"

The blonde said still laughing.

"You were great out there," Yami said with a wink.

"Thanks man, you weren't bad ya self," he replied holding out his hand to the prince. They shook on it.

Selene grinned, before Bakura caught her in his arms and held her close against his chest. He lifted her chin with his fingers and kissed her.

Yami and Tea stood together gazing into each other's eyes, and then he gently reached out to brush a piece of her hair that was hanging in the way behind her ear. She leaned her face into his hand, while he ran his fingers over her cheekbones and her lips. She opened her eyes to find his face inches from her own. His lips were trembling slightly as his eyes looked into her's lovingly and then closed the space between them with a sweet kiss.

A/N: I hope you guys enjoyed, until next time!
