A/N: I OWN NO PART YU GI OH 5DS! ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE CREATORS!
Chapter 47: The End of Time
Era's POV
"No, my nightmare, my worst fear is coming true," Yusei said. "All is lost."
"Slow down there, Yusei," I called. He looked at me. "No angel should ever lose hope like that."
"Era's right, don't surrender yet. We still have our secret weapon," Jaden agreed.
"Remember, we believe in duel monsters with all of our hearts while Paradox does not. And when you believe, you have hope," Yami said.
"You're an angel, Yusei. Don't go losing hope on me," I told him. He grinned and nodded.
"Maybe it would be better if I show you what we mean. I play, The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh. So we can add a Kuriboh or Wing Kuriboh to our hand," Jaden said. He looked at Yami. "You're up."
"Right. Kuriboh!" Yami called. "I activate your ability. So by sending it to the graveyard, it allows Kuriboh to take the hit instead of us." A giant Kuriboh appeared in front of us and blocked the attack.
"No!" Paradox exclaimed as Kuriboh shattered and the four of us on the ground stared up at him with a glare. "Yugi, I'll make you pay dearly for that little stunt!" Paradox threatened.
"I don't think you will. Because at the end of this turn, Malefic Divides effect is gone which means Malefic Stardust Dragon will be gone," Yami retorted. Malefic Stardust Dragon disappeared because, true to Yami's words, the effect of Malefic Divide was completed.
"But not the real Stardust Dragon. Because with its ability, it now returns to the field," I stated.
Yusei and the rest of us turned as his dragon appeared. "Stardust Dragon… glad your back," he told his dragon.
"Era, it's your turn now. Remember, no matter what time you're in, you'll always have those supporting you," Yami said.
I nodded. "You better be ready Paradox, because I'm about to save the rest of those dragons you snatched," I told him with a glare.
"I would love to see you try," Paradox taunted more.
"First I'll activate Returning Tides," I declared. "When a dragon is special summoned from the graveyard, like with Stardust Dragon, I can special summon all monsters destroyed during this turn." Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, Elemental HERO Neos, and Junk Gardna reappeared on the field.
"What?! I just got rid of all of them," Paradox exclaimed shocked.
"Too bad. And now it's my turn," I declared drawing her card. "Next I activate Bring to the Light! Now I can add up to four monsters from your deck, graveyard, and even the ones removed from play to our decks," I declared.
"What?!" Paradox said shocked.
"I told you I would save them and I will keep that promise. So Blue Eyes White Dragon, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Rainbow Dragon, and Cyber End Dragon go to the decks you want," I retorted.
Four orbs of light floated out of Paradox's duel disk and to Yami and Jaden's decks. Blue Eyes, Red Eyes, and Cyber End went to Yami and Rainbow Dragon went to Jaden.
"Nice, Era!" Jaden praised.
"Now it's time for your down fall Paradox," I said.
"I hate to interrupt good trash talkin'. But here, this is worth it. I play Neos Spiral Force," Jaden declared. "With it, I can double the attack points of one of our monsters (Stardust Dragon: Attack 5000)."
"And I play Dark Spiral Force. With this force in play, I can double its attack points once again (Stardust Dragon: Attack 10,000)," Yami declared.
"And I'll play Light Force," I declared. "This doubles the attack points of Stardust Dragon. I think you could use a lesson after taking those dragons (Stardust Dragon: Attack 20,000)."
"20,000 attack points! How?!" Paradox exclaimed in defeat and fear.
"Go, Neos! Attack!" Jaden exclaimed.
"Dark Magician, attack!" Yami ordered.
A vision of Angelic Light Dragon appeared next to Stardust and it roared ready for battle. "Show him that light will always prevail against the dark! Angelic Light Dragon and Stardust Dragon attack!" I ordered.
In unison, Jaden, Yusei, Yami, and I exclaimed, "Go, Dark Cosmic Star Wave!"
"No! NO!" Paradox exclaimed as the attacks hit him and he disappeared.
The duel completed and the four of us sighed in relief.
. . .
The sun was setting and Yusei, Jaden, and I were beside Yami as they waited to say goodbye to our friend.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye then. Great meeting you all. Think we'll meet again sometime?" Jaden said.
"Yeah, but next time we meet, let's hope the whole world of duel monsters isn't on the line again," Yusei said.
"I can definitely agree with you there, Yusei," I agreed.
"Yeah, maybe we could duel each other. Whatever happens, I'm sure the bond we made here is one that'll stand the test of time," Yami agreed.
"All of time," Jaden said putting his hand out.
"Totally," I agreed setting mine on Jaden's.
"Absolutely," Yusei said placing his on the forming pile.
Yami followed the gesture placing his hand on the other three's.
"Now, remember to give those dragons back to their human friends. Yugi, Red Eyes and Blue Eyes really want to go back to Kaiba and Joey. And Jaden, Rainbow Dragon is dying to see Jesse again. Make sure he's gets back safe, okay?" I said.
"Got it," Jaden agreed.
"Will we ever see you again, Era?" Yami asked.
"Maybe not the same me as now. But the me from this time, you will," I answered.
"What about us, Era? I hadn't seen you at all until now after you left," Jaden asked me seeming sad.
"Remember, even if we can't see each other, we're still together," I stated. "And it's that bond that will always keep me attached to your guys. Even after years go by." They all smiled and nodded. "But we better get going. We'll drop you off at your time, Jaden. Goodbye, Yugi." Yusei and Jaden nodded in agreement.
"Goodbye, guys. We'll see each other again," Yami said. "That, I have no doubt."
The three of us, duelists, left.
. . .
After dropping Jaden off, Yusei and I found ourselves back on the outlook. I looked to see the city in one piece.
"The city's okay," I said relieved. My mate and I looked at the Crimson Dragon by us who nodded in approval before disappearing.
Yusei and I heard laughing and Leo and Luna calling our names. When we looked, we saw Jack, Crow, Akiza, Luna, and Leo running to us.
