Considering that the last chapter wasn't well received nor did anyone comment on my skills with coming up with cards on the spot (its not an easy thing to come up with names for the Melodious archetype) and yada yada... all in all, this chapter will be the last for this fic and we are going back to ROS in the next update. Also, would you like me to use quotes for ROS too, to imply what you could expect from the chapter?

That being said, the show must go on!

"Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed."

The duel against Dennis was hard and brutal but Yuzu managed to prevail on top with her new monster.

As she watched Verdina reduce the other's LP to zero through a combo induced by her monster effect, the Melodious duelist began to wonder where Yuya was. She had expected him to have found her by now but...

"This can't be it..." the redhead, who was on his knees, yelled. "I couldn't have lost against such a ..."

"Such a what? Girl?" Yuzu questioned. "Sorry, Dennis, that was your downfall." she said as her bracelet flashed in the sunlight. Just as she was about to say something else, a shout caused her to look behind herself.

"YUZU!"

"Yuya?" she looked at him and gasped, noticing that he was in a disray from head to toe. "What happened?"

"I had a duel with my Fusion counterpart." he replied. "The real one. What about you? Are you alright?" he looked at Dennis with silent anger in his eyes and she could understand him completely. She, too, believed the clown to have been her friend... as it was...

"Yeah..." she started when Dennis got onto his knees, with a leer on his face. Yuzu took a step back to stand beside Yuya as a winged Fusion monster neither of them recognized swooped down to pick the other up. Surprised, the duo watched as a smirking Dennis hanged onto the beast's legs, flying up higher into a sea of monsters over what seemed liked a gate of pure white.

"It's not over until it's over." he mocked as he flew up beside Yuri, who was grinning like he usually did. "You might have defeated us here but you lost the war."

"Speak for yourself." the Fusion counterpart stated coldly before waving in a cheerful fashion down at Yuya and Yuzu. "We'll be seeing you." in a flash of white, they were all gone. Like nothing had ever happened. But as Yuzu looked around, she realized that wasn't true.

The place felt cold and oddly silent, as though they were the only ones there... but that couldn't be true, right?

"Yuya." she whispered. "We weren't too late, were we?"

His silence answered her question all too crystal clear and, as Yuzu fell onto her knees with a sob, Yuya simply looked up into the sky with tears swelling in his eyes. It was only them now. The two sole survivors.

So yes, you heard right. Everyone was defeated, Sora had managed to re-capture Serena and Reiji, with no army to back him up, fell against his father. I will leave you to guess what happened next but since I didnt feel like writing it out only to get reviews which werent all that ... much ... well yes, I won't waste my imagination anymore if you guys dont want to read chapters with over 1k words. If you are curious as to the results of the duels:

Yuzu vs Dennis = Yuzu (Win), Dennis (Lose)

Yuya vs Yuri = DRAW

Thank you for reading, despite this abrupt and unplanned ending :)
