Author's Notes: So I'm waiting for gamergirl101 to send me the links to the 6 parts of A Duel with Dartz, so I can get her chapter where Dartz uploads his Fan-fiction. This is THAT chapter. I might end up replacing this chapter after she gets me the links. In the meantime, I just watched parts 5 & 6 on YouTube, so at least the end of their duel should be fresh in my mind.

To gamergirl101: I really appreciate you Favoriting/Following my stories. Please don't hesitate to send me ideas for my other stories in a Review or a PM.

I must apologize for calling some chapters "Chapter" and some "Stage" I guess I'm not used to calling my chapters stages. To All my Readers/Followers, please forgive me for that, and any spelling mistakes I make.

Chapter 6: To Face Defeat

Dartz sat typing his fan-fiction while Kris slept in her room. Rafael, Alister, and Valon had gone home to get some rest.

I stood behind my Orichalcos monsters. my Life Points went up to 20,000.

"Dartz! It all ends right now!" said the Pharaoh as he drew his card.

"Well, get on with it." I ordered, growing impatient.

"Do you know what's in my hand? The secret to unlocking the Legendary Dragons."

"What?!" I stared, eyes wide.

"You heard me, Legend of Heart!" he said as he held out his card. Life-size holograms of the Legendary Dragons appeared as the Pharaoh continued: "This lets me summon Timaeus, Hermos, and Critias in their True Form!"

The dragons soared upwards into a grey cloud. Then, from the cloud, a deep bold voice, (similar to that of the Pharaoh,) spoke: "Finally, after ten millennia in captivity, we have been set free!"

I couldn't believe it. How was it possible?

"No! Not them. Not THEM!"

The three figures appeared from the cloud: One in green armor and cape, with a scar down his right eye. One, i orange armor cape to his left. One in purple armor and cape.

"I am he who was named Timaeus." said the knight in the green armor.

"And I am Sir Critias." said the purple-clad one.

"I am known as, Sir Hermos." said the one in orange.

The three held their swords crossed high, and in unison they shouted: "In the name of Atlantis, we have been reborn!"

"I thought I took care of you centuries ago!" I shouted. Suddenly, they swung their swords hard, and slammed the floor. Energy formed streams that plowed through the ground, hit the edges of my Orichalcos Tritos, zoomed upward, and collided in the center. Then there was a shattering effect that left glowing shards falling everywhere.

"What have you done? My precious seal is gone!"

From the door behind him, Kris called quietly: "Daddy?"

Dartz turned around in his chair, glancing over his shoulder.

"Yes my dear?"

"I'm thirsty," Kris said.

"Well, you know where the bathroom is," he said, with just a little more force than he'd intended. Then he continued: "So go to the bathroom, get a glass of water, and go back to bed. I'm trying to work."

Kris quietly made her way to the bathroom, and closed the door. Dartz, who apparently needed to go shopping for coffee, as he was running rather low at the moment, turned back to his computer.

"Now where was I?" Dartz asked. "Hmmm... Ah yes."

"Your evil is useless in our presence." said Hermos. Then, the Pharaoh attacked with his knights, and destroyed two of my monsters. Now his Life Points were down to 250.

"Now," I said as I drew my card. "Attack Critias with Photon Ring Blast!"

"Hold on Dratz! Critias can bring back one Trap card from my Graveyard once per turn. And I choose, the reflecting power of Mirror Force! Now Critias can reflect that attack right back at your monsters!"

The attack was thrown back to my monster, and destroyed it, bringing my Life Points down to 14,100. I grinned, knowing of my monster's Special Ability.

"Well done Pharaoh. Bravo. However, my monster has a Special Ability as well." He gasped as my first monster disappeared, to be replaced by my strongest monster.

"The moment you destroyed my Orichalcos Shuneros, my Divine Serpent was born!" The Pharaoh stared into the vortex from which my serpent seemed to emerge. "I must, however, discard every card in my hand to the Graveyard. Then I must give up every one of my Life Points. Such a price to pay."

Kris returned and walked quietly over to him. "Daddy, I can't sleep. I miss Mommy."

Dartz gazed down to his side to see his daughter hang her head. He gently scooped her up, and set her in his lap.

"I'm sorry child, but there's nothing I can do." He kissed her on the top of her head. "But you do know, she is still with us, in Spirit."

Thankfully, she seemed to cheer up, because she smiled at him. Then, she turned to his screen.

"What's this Daddy?" Kris asked. Dartz gently chuckled.

"Now now, that is not the way of an Atlantian princess," he gently 'scolded' He stood from his desk, laid her so her head rested on his shoulder, and carried her back into her bedroom.

There, he laid her in bed, gently tucked the blankets in, and sat beside her on the edge of the bed.

"Will you tell me a story?" Kris asked. Dartz thought for a moment.

What shall I do? She wants to hear a bedtime story, yet I'm busy working on my Fan-Fiction.

Then, he smiled.

"Listen to me," he said, stroking her hair. "If you can be quiet and wait for me here, I'll finish my work, then I can tell you a bedtime story." Kris smiled and giggled at his words. He stood up gently, and went back to his desk. There, he typed some more.

Having typed the part where Yami had summoned Dark Magician Girl with his Relay Soul Trap, he cringed at the part that came next.

No! His child wants a story? He'll never give up until he can give her a story she'll want to read whenever she wants. Then, not only will she sleep better at night, but he himself will have more time and energy to do what he needs to do.

"Now, Critias, Hermos, Attack his Divine Serpent!" the haraoh ordered. His warriors jumped into the portal.

"Feel my Sword of Wisdom!" yelled Critias as he stabbed my serpent.

"Feel my Sword of Renewal!" Hermos cried, as he too sank his blade into my snake.

"Your knights should have been destroyed the moment they collided with my Divine Serpent!" I shouted, anger boiling in my veins.

"Lesson one: Attack Points aren't everything." said the Pharaoh. Then he continued: "Now, Critias, absorb the power of my Attack Guidance Barrier Trap! This allows him to select Legendary Knight Hermos as his new target."

"You can't!" I yelled.

"I just did! Now it's time for Hermos to activate His Special Ability. I sacrifice my three Magnet Warriors. This allows Hermos to Triple the strength of Critias' attack. And send that attack right back!" I glowered.

"They're now reflecting the attack back and forth until its, and Both of Their, strength increases to Infinity!"

I widened my eyes. "So? That attack is stuck in an endless loop!"

"Hold on Dartz, I still have one knight left." The Pharaoh then ordered: "Timaeus, merge with Hermos and Critias!" The two aforementioned seemed to disappear into Timaeus, as his body 'grew' to triple his own size. There now stood a figure in purple cape over pure gold armor.

"Now there's a power stronger than Infinity itself!" called the Pharaoh.

"A power greater than my Divine Serpent? Impossible!"

To me, the Pharaoh said: "See for yourself." Then, to his warrior, he called: "Knight of Destiny! Attack his reptile with Sword of Justice!"

The Infinity symbol disappeared from my serpent,d the knight slashed through the air, and my serpent screeched in agony.

"Your serpent has been destroyed! That means, you lose Dartz. And with that, our Duel finally comes to an end."

Having finished his work, Dartz saved it, uploaded it to the website, received the email, and added his story to his library on his mobile device.

He stepped into Kris' room, sat down beside her on the edge of the bed again, and set his device to the top of his chapter.

"Are you ready?"

Kris grinned. "Let's read, Daddy."

Dartz pressed the button, and the device's computer voice began to read.

End Notes: To all you readers who didn't see Season 4, yes, Dartz IS Kris' father. But to this day, I can't figure something out: Was it the Orichalcos that took Fiona away? Or was it Dartz? And why would the power of the Orichalcos choose him of all people?

Question for gamergirl101: (Please answer via PM:) What is Paradias? Dartz headquarters or sommething?

Hoping all you readers out there enjoyed this chapter as much as I had fun writing it.
