~Chapter 17~

The Final Battle

The month soon passed by as Atemu had found out several clues as to when the final bout would occur, they had been very lucky that only another small group had discovered them, and though they were victorious, very few of their number was decreased. Atemu sighed as he flew over the Nile river with Timaeus, knowing that the aqua-green dragon was very protective, he took this time to train with him, just in case that the way he was now, would not be enough. Though Yugi had insisted that what he had was enough. He smiled as he did a barrel roll, smirking as he looked up, seeing Timaeus had shot the fireball at him, his senses having caught it before he was hit. "Good shot Timaeus!" he yelled up to the dragon, who roared in victory. Atemu then blinked in surprise as a bolt of white lightning had almost struck Timaeus, who had dodged, he smirked "Saphron!"

The larger blue-eyes snorted and flew up, his white scales glistening in the sun "my king... I was asked to retrieve you and Lord Timeaus, a large cloud of darkness has been reported over Domino City", Atemu nodded "it has begun then..", he looked to the dragons "lead the way Saphron", the blue eyes nodded and the three of them flew to join Yugi and the others, who when Atemu arrived, were all ready to go, Yugi looked to his lover "this is it.." Atemu nodded "if we lose this.. the worse will be unavoidable.." Yugi nodded "be positive Atemu.. we will win", Atemu nodded and smiled, loving the fact that Yugi was so upbeat despite how grim the situation looked. The large group of friends soon made their way to Domino City, most of the normal people riding on summoned shadow creatures, yugi sighed as he heard people in Domino scream in fear.

Meanwhile Tea, dressed in black armor with a green tinge to it, looked up, spotting the large forces that would oppose her and her larger companion "they do not stand a ghost of a chance.." she said, Dartz laughed "no they do not", she giggled and her black wings spread out "now lets see if the pharaoh can stand against me!", she then took to the air flying straight for the group, Joey who was riding Red-Eyes looked up "INCOMING!" he yelled before dodging a bolt of green lightning, Tea growled as she had not planned on missing "damn it", Atemu then growled and summoned a huge fireball, and threw it at Tea, which amazingly she blocked, causing Atemu to be slightly surprised, she then flew down while he was off-guard and struck him in the face with her fist, Yugi growled but stayed back as Atemu shook his head /stay back hikari, this is between me and the witch/ Yugi nodded as Atemu popped his neck.

"that was a good shot, ms. Gardner, but I am afraid you will have to do better than that to defeat me", he then charged his magic, as large black and purple flames formed around him, a sword made of the flames formed in his left hand as his eyes changed to a very deadly red color, the color of blood, Yugi gulped knowing that his lover was only using a portion of his power, but the portion was still enough to possibly finish off Tea, once and for all. Joey smirked "get her Atemu!" Atemu chuckled at the blonde's antics having found him to be a loyal friend, despite being eager for battle. Atemu then moved the sword and motioned Tea to come at him "bring it on!" he yelled and he watched as she charged, flying with a good amount of speed, the two winged ones soon were fighting, striking blow after blow, though yes, Tea was strong, Atemu had two things in his advantage: one, he was faster and two he was stronger though he didn't want to waist all his energy on Tea.

As they fought Yugi and the others watched, watching how Atemu showed the girl just how much better he was at fighting 'after all Atemu has over 5,000 years worth of fighting experience, that's another advantage.' Yugi thought with a smirk, he watched how Tea showed promise in the beginning but about thirty minutes into the fight, she was wearing down, using all her power quickly, which in Yugi's eyes, was a big mistake, 'the more energy she burns, the less she'll have to fight Atemu, granted she's landed a few good ones, but Atemu's better, a lot better' Saphron watched the fight and snorted "she is fading fast, because not only is her power supported by her rage, it is supported by her hatred for you, she does not realize that what she is doing, will cost her, her life in the end". Yugi nodded agreeing with Saphron, "she hasn't learned anything has she?" Seto asked, Yugi chuckled "nope"

As the fight continued Yugi noticed Atemu would switch between his sword and his fists, understanding the way his lover was fighting 'i see, he's conserving energy letting Tea waist hers, so when she's out, he can deal the final blow' he thought as he saw Tea pull back, breathing heavily and looking about dead "she's done..." Joey commented, yugi nodded "not much left now..", Yugi then looked to his lover /are you going to finish her off?/ he asked in their mind link /yes, one final attack, I will use just a third of my power, to surround her in darkness and flames plus with the amount I will use, it will kill her/ Yugi nodded and watched /do what you have to/Atemu nodded and charged his power, the flames forming and as he raised his hands, he spoke "Tea, once considered a friend now a foe, you have nothing left, so this the end...I am sorry but when I attack your body and soul will be destroyed..",

Tea growled "NEVER!", Saphron roared "FOOLISH CHILD, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO DEFEAT THE PHARAOH, THIS IS IT FOR YOU!" Tea gasped and looked scared as a large ball of flames swirled and formed inside Atemu's hands, Atemu sighed, his eyes glowing white "we gave you chance after chance, Tea, to redeem yourself and to stop yourself from reaching this point, but you failed and now your actions will be judged and you shall be destroyed" Tea shivered and watched as Atemu raised the glowing ball "FAREWELL TEA!" he roared as he threw the blast, watching as it became a huge beam, which eradicated Tea's body, leaving nothing but ashes falling to the ground below. Atemu sighed as he calmed "she's gone.." Yugi said as he flew up next to him, Atemu nodded "yes, I've completely erased her from existence, she will no longer be a threat.."

Joey nodded then looked down "yeah but now we got a bigger threat to deal with!", he pointed and everyone looked down, there in the middle of town was a large glowing serpent, though he was bigger it was still the same monster Yugi and Atemu had faced earlier "leviathan" Atemu and Yugi said at the same time. "so Tea's death was for a purpose...she needed to be killed in order for him to be reborn." Yugi blinked and looked to his lover "really?", Atemu nodded, Yugi gulped "oh fuck me sideways why don't you!" Atemu held back a laugh as Joey busted up laughing at yugi's comment, "now's not the time Aibou" Atemu said and Yugi nodded "i know, i was trying to lighten the mood."

Joey winked as Red-eyes flew up next to Yugi "it worked", he said with a smile, and Yugi nodded, Joey then looked to Atemu "battle plan?" Atemu sighed "Yugi and i must be the ones to fight Leviathan and his master, I want you and the others to fight the smaller monsters and try to change them... maybe if we get more on our side, we will have a better chance", Yugi nodded "right, Joey you take Saphron and Seto with you, that way you guys can be away from leviathan, Timaeus, you, Critias and Hermos stay with Atemu and i, I have a feeling we will need you three" Timaeus nodded and they soon flew down, Dartz chuckled as they landed "well well Pharaohs Atemu and Heba, so good of you to join us" Atemu growled he knew that voice, "Dartz..."

Dartz smirked "so you remember me after all, Pharaoh Atemu, I though after 5,000 years your memory would be shot, I believe I'm proven wrong", Atemu growled "you used Tea and used her hatred for Yugi against her, I knew you were low, but I did not think that low, Dartz", Dartz chuckled "I am a lot more darker than you Atemu, after all you have been tainted by the love of your so called hikari, why don't we get rid of him so you can unleash your true power?", Atemu growled "leave the young one out of this.." Yugi glared and stood by his lover "Dartz, I don't know who told you that by destroying me would unleash Atemu's full power, but they were wrong...we work better together!" Dartz growled and Leviathan roared as two large black blades, shot at Yugi, he dodged the first one, but gasped as the second struck his leg, causing him to cry out, Atemu gasped "Yugi!"

as Yugi landed on the ground he had to fight off several monsters, though luckily Timeaus, Critias and Hermos landed around him, protecting him, "fear not King Heba, we shall protect you, heal yourself",Yugi nodded to them and bent down, slowly healing his leg, though he winced when he saw that the shadows of the blade and corrupted a part of his leg, making it look black and almost dead, he sighed and stood up, glad he could still stand, once he was healed he took to the sky again, the three Legendary dragons right next to him, Atemu nodded "as i had told Tea, we can not be beaten so easily" Dartz snarled and soon the battle began, Atemu and Yugi fighting with Dartz while the legendary dragons fought leviathan, in strength they were even striking and fighting, using magic and skill, Yugi flew back as he dodged a blast from Leviathan, seeing the dragons struggling with the serpent, Yugi then growled as his hand lit up "COME FORTH SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON, OBELISK THE TORMENTOR AND THE WINGED DRAGON OF RA!"

Atemu looked to his lover as the three gods responded to him, amazed that he was strong enough to summon the deities of Ancient Egypt themselves. /excellent work, Yugi!/ Yugi smiled and the three gods attacked leviathan doing a huge amount of damage, but could not destroy the beast. Atemu growled as he flew back, regrouping with Yugi, "we have one shot at this...but it's risky and may destroy a lot more than just Leviathan and Dartz..." Yugi looked to his lover "what is it?", Atemu sighed "I was told that there is a fourth god... his name is Osiris, the Dark Sky Serpent(1), and he is deemed the most dangerous and most powerful of the egyptian deities, and I am afraid to summon him." Yugi nodded "do what ever you need to do, baby, we gotta win this, the world is at stake."

Atemu nodded "you're right..alright then... here goes..." Atemu's body suddenly began glowing black and red as he closed his eyes, and spoke "SON OF ONE OF MIGHTY THREE, CONCEALED IN THE VEIL OF LIGHT, RAISED DEEP IN SECRECY TO HIDE THY INFINITE MIGHT, A POWER LONG FORGOTTEN SHALL NOW BE RE-BORN, COME FORTH OH MIGHTY KING AND UNLEASH YOUR WRATH UPON THIS SCORN, ARISE OH LORD OF DARKNESS AND DESTROY THY FOES WITH YOUR POWER! ARISE OSIRIS, THE DARK SKY SERPENT!", suddenly the ground beneath Dartz began shaking as the Earth trembled, as the heavens lit up in a majestic light, a roar louder than slifer's soon was heard as a monster descended from the heavens.

Yugi's eyes widened as he saw the beast, though the great serpent was the same design as Slifer, he was ten times bigger and black in color with red markings all around his body, a large amethyst rested on his forehead though the gem was tinted in a bit of red as well, as Osiris descended the gang all gasped Joey looked up "and i thought Slifer was huge!" he yelled, causing Yugi to giggle. Atemu then looked to Osiris "oh great deity of darkness, lend us your might, destroy this foe, and win us victory this night!" Osiris snorted and then turned its large head on leviathan, as the gem on its forehead became a glow, Atemu spoke "Now great Osiris! finish this battle with BLOOD AMETHYST BURST!" Osiris' second mouth soon opened as purple black and red flames formed, in its jaws, the great dragon rose up and brought his head down with a snap, as large beam erupted from his maw.

Joey and the others moved away quickly as the blast neared Leviathan and Dartz, as the beam struck the sea dragon let out a cry as its body was eradicated along with Dartz's the flames struck the ground, destroying anything that remained within twenty meters of leviathan, when the attack was finished, there was nothing left, the ground had been scorched and leviathan was gone as well as Dartz. Yugi gasped "whoa", Atemu nodded "yes...that is why he is the most dangerous of the four, for nothing can survive any of his attacks." he then looked up "Thank you Osiris", the great dragon flew down and looked to him and yugi "this was the least I could do, Atemu and Heba live your lives and live in peace, may both of you remain in the light for all eternity", the dragon's body soon lit up and he vanished as well as the other three gods.

Joey and the others smiled as Yugi and Atemu landed "we did it!", Joey yelled, Yugi giggled "yes, yes we did"(2) Atemu chuckled and kissed Yugi lovingly "and here I doubted we would", seto chuckled "if you had not summoned that large black version of Slifer, we would have lost", Atemu nodded "osiris is indeed a great and powerful ally" Saphron nodded "and now that the world is at peace once more, I believe it is time..to say farewell" Yugi nodded "good-bye Timaeus, Critias, Hermos and Saphron", Atemu nodded "yes..farewell" the four dragons nodded and soon flew off, disappearing as the sun re-emerged in the sky.

Atemu smiled "let us go home, Yugi" Yugi nodded "yep, we got a wedding to plan", Atemu smiled "that we do" the two winged kings soon took off, flying into the morning sky, relieved that the world was safe.
