AN: Alex, and Lynn have met their untimely demise, as well as Michael, who sacrificed himself so that David could live and finish off Zetsumei. Well, with the memory of those he lost in his mind, can David overcome grief and win this fight?

Chapter Fourteen: The Adventure Ends

Zetsumei had no idea what he was looking at. David was floating, that much was obvious, but from what Zetsumei could gather about David, he couldn't fly, unless he learned how to magically before he got in here, and he knew that was not entirely impossible. Highly unlikely, but not entirely impossible. Zetsumei was caught off guard only a little bit, but not by a lot. He knew that this was only flash and flair. He was going to win this fight, there was no doubt about that. Then why was he scared all of a sudden?

"Little wolf, do you honestly think that you can beat me?" Zetsumei taunted.

"No doubt about it." David shot back.

"Whenever you are ready." Zetsumei said as he got into his fighting stance.

Yusuke stood before the door, frozen to the spot. He didn't move, but he felt only one strong energy, and a really strong energy coming from the room when he was suppose to feel three energies. That meant someone died, and he soon realized who it was.

"Guys, Michael is gone." Yusuke said in a monotone voice. Everyone looked at him in disbelief.

"What? Are you sure?" William said in total disbelief.

"100%." Yusuke said. "There is only two energies behind this door, and those belong to Zetsumei and David."

"Great, what do we do now?" Kuwabara asked.

"Wait until this fight is over." Yusuke said, just staring at the big door in front of them.

Zetsumei just stood there watching the sight unfold before his very eyes. There was no doubt about it. David meant business, and this young man was to be taken seriously. Zetsumei let a smile cross his face. He was going to enjoy this. This was the fight that he wanted from him, too bad David lost a lot of stuff to get him to this point.

"Well, it seems that you have a final little spark in your heart. Too bad, you seem to be a great fighter, but it won't matter, this is going to be a final resting place. You are going to join your girlfriend, sister, and Michael in the other world. Give me your best shot." Zetsumei said, voice full of confidence.

"You asked for it." David said through gritted teeth.

Zetsumei watched as a black wolf emerged from behind David, but it was not alone, a white dragon was there as well. Their long tails intertwined, and they looked at each other for a moment. Then they turned their attention to Zetsumei. With a howl from the wolf and growl from the dragon, they charged right at Zetsumei, who had his hands out trying to stop the attack from succeeding. The minute he grabbed the blast that was at him, he knew this was it.

"No! This can't be! I am unbeatable!" Zetsumei grinned.

"For all of the innocent lives that you took, you deserve a first class seat in hell." David said coldly.

Zetsumei let out one final scream before he completely disintegrated. David lowered to the ground, and just stood there for a few moments, taking in all the damage that he caused. The roof was gone, and the doors were hanging on by a hinge. The lone fact that Zetsumei was dead was enough for David to smile.

"It's finally over." David said. With that same warm smile that he gave Alex and Lynn countless times, he fell over, and hit the ground with a soft thud.

David was unconscious, but he heard the team's voices as they rushed in what was left of Zetsumei's Tower to access the damage.

"Jesus, this reminds me of the fight I had with Suzaku." Yusuke said proudly.

"Great, so what in the hell do we do with David and Michael?" Kuwabara asked.

"We carry them." William called out.

"Who is this 'we' you speak of?" Kuwabara asked again.

"Don't be simple. I mean us." William said again.

"Great, more work. This is going to be fun." Hiei moaned.

"Come on now. Look, the portal is opening." Kurama said, pointing in the distance.

"What about Michael?" William said, pointing towards Michael's body in the corner.

"Shit, Miley is not going to be happy about this. What are we going to tell her?" Yusuke asked the team.

"Why say anything? She probably knows about it already." Hiei said in a cold tone. Yusuke looked back at his friend, and glared at him.

"Man, you can be a real asshole sometimes." Yusuke moaned. He walked over, and picked up Michael in his arms. He stood there for a minute then turned around to face his team.

"What?" William asked, breaking the silence.

"Nothing, someone grab David and let's go." Yusuke said coldly. David felt himself being picked up, and that is the last thing that he remembers.

David felt the sun hit his face from an adjoining window, and finally opened his eyes. He felt particularly warm, but he had to get his bearings as to where he was. He looked around, and the various piles of clothes in this room made him come to realize that this was his room. How did he get here, though? The last thing he remembered was fighting Zetsumei in the Demon Badlands...

Then the familiar bad feeling hit him again. Alex, Lynn, and Michael were all gone. Alex and Lynn because he couldn't beat Zetsumei when he had a chance to. Michael was gone because he couldn't react in time to save himself, and Michael sacrificed himself to save David when he was wallowing in misery.

He was already feeling terrible, but now, he was feeling even worse than that.

"Jeez, are you going to lay in bed all day and wallow in self pity?" William said from the window sill.

"Why are you here?" David asked his friend.

"Well, seeing as how you used all of your energy blasting Zetsumei, I figured that you needed some cheering up." William said with a smile on his face. "Don't bother moving, your energy isn't going to be coming back for a long while."

"Great, what about Michael? What did you do with his body?" David asked.

"Back in Malibu." William stated.

"Great, when are they going to bury him?" David asked.

"Michael's not dead." William said.

"What? How is that possible?" David asked in total disbelief.

"The sword did some damage, but it didn't kill him. He's resting up in a hospital back home." William said. "Before I go on, no one died. Koenma wiped out the entire episode that happened so no one has any memory of what happened, or didn't happen."

"What about Alex and Lynn?" David asked with concern.

"Lynn's in her room recovering from a nasty hit to the head, and Alex is waiting outside to see you." William said.

"Send her in." David said. William left his room, and David heard the talking with he and Alex. She soon came in his room, and smiled at him. She walked over to the side of him, and sat there.

"Thanks, for everything." She whispered.

"So, you know how everything worked out, huh?" David asked.

"Yeah, William filled me in." Alex said. "How are you feeling?"

"A little warm and worn out, but I'm fine. I am glad that the two of you are okay." David said.

"Thanks, Lynn really saved me when they were after me." Alex said, then her voice turned serious. "David, promise me that when you go and do something like this, you be up front with me and everyone."

"Promise." David said. Alex lightly kissed him, and placed her head on his shoulder, and went to sleep. David just smiled, and pulled her close.

This is how all stories should end.
