Susano-o: Clean up time!
Sekhmet: Well, this is the end. The true end. It's been a long time coming. There's been a lot of jokes, a lot of drama. I'll be honest, I don't really know what happens next.
Susano-o: A lot, that's what happens.
Sekhmet: I know that we have some dimension hopping and soul rooms to travel. But that's it. I have never seen past this point, so I'm going on completely blind.
Susano-o: It'll be fine, we're taking a hiatus to write the next part so we can both catch up, again Season 3 and 4 are two we are much less familiar with. So let's do our goodbyes for now.
Sekhmet: Well we're taking a break from THIS story, not content overall. As for the new content, I'm proud to announce that we'll be writing two new stories while we work on Season 3! Neon Genesis Evangelion fans, turn on your alerts because Evangelion 5.0: You Can (not) Be Serious is hitting the site! Join three new pilots as well as the original cast and Mari on their quest to defeat the Angels and get as little mental scarring as possible. And for those who like a little less edgelord and religious weirdness that doesn't mean anything in your stories, don't you worry! Feral and Traveller, a Pokémon Platinum fanfic is also hitting the site! Join a feral girl and a strange human (also Lillie and Green) on their quest to get through the Sinnoh region! And finally, Season 3 (and by extension the last clip of this chapter) will guest star Matt Berry (aka The Butt Witch) as Yubel!
Susano-o: We also aren't done writing smut so keep an eye on that if you're interested.
Sekhmet: We have at least one more batch of smut before we start openly asking for ideas. So get shipping! Remember, there are very few unappealing ideas!
Susano-o: Finally thank you to, Hugo, Skylanderzilla, FrostFriday, power-of-egao, and santos402 for your feedback.
Sekhmet: All our fans mean the world to us, but these five hold special places in our hearts for one reason or another.
Susano-o: And now it's time to end this with another quote.

Duel 47: Clean Up Crew
The sound of a helicopter landing was deafening in the nighttime calm as Chancellor Shepard came running out towards the Red Dorms at full speed, so singularly focused on his goal he didn't notice any of the new additions as he rapped on the door to Syrus's room. "Syrus?" He asked when no one answered. "Syrus can you hear me!?" Getting no response he tried his friends dorms before giving up and heading to the communal dining room. "Syrus are you? What is Ra's name is going on here!?" He yelled at what he found.
Rose, Yuko, Syrus, Camula, Hassleberry And Belowski were scattered across the room. The air was thick with smoke. Everyone either had a bong nearby or a joint in their mouth as they all stared up into the ceiling, into the nothingness. Trays of stoner foods littered the tables, as well as bags of fast food from places bizarrely far away from Japan.
"Did you guys hear something?" Yuko asked.
"Eh?" Syrus replied. "I think the White Castle's getting to you." In response Yuko pushed away the bag.
"Rush is awesome," Rose giggles. A chorus of positive responses filled the room.
"This is R.E.M." Camula said back. "We just finished Rush."
"The stereo isn't even on!" Sheppard yelled, and everyone turned to look at it while letting out sounds of amazement at this revelation.
"Dude, close the door, you're letting the sober in." Yuko mumbled in Hassleberry's direction.
"I didn't open it." He replied.
"Well you've got telekinesis, just close it from there." Yuko replied.
"I opened it!" Shepared yelled. Another chorus of amazed noises. "Syrus! We need to talk!"
"I mean, ok. Just close the door first." Syrus said. "You're letting the sober in."
"Syrus your brother is coming here," He explained. "He's gotten into illegal underground dueling and has taken the name Hell Kaiser."
"That's-that's kind of a stupid name." Syrus said.
"Focus!" Shepared yelled. "He's also taking the powerful 'Cyberdark' deck from our ancient cyber arts temple on top of a mountain."
"Why would you keep it there?" Syrus asked.
"It's where our temple has always been," Shepared said. "-That's not the point! He's coming here to bring about the end of Duel Academy as we know it by blaming Rose and Aster for all his problems!"
"What did I do?" Rose asked.
"What didn't you do Sarge," Tyranno responded, and everyone laughed like it was the best joke they ever heard.
"Comedian of the year." Yuko sighed, and took another hit from her blunt. "Watch me do a trick." She yelled, losing all her smile in the process of speaking, to which she made a whining noise when nothing came out.
"Can we focus for one minute!" Shepherd yelled. "Syrus he's coming tomorrow, you need to get a bunch of cards together to remind him of your childhood to make him good again," he said grabbing Syrus's shoulders. "Do you understand?"
Syrus blinked one eye at a time, and you could see the cogs turning. He put an unlit blunt in the corner of Sheppard's mouth, making the teens laugh like hyenas. Shepherd just gave up and went back to his office, where he then had to yell at Crowler for getting high as well.
….
"ROSE WARREN!" Hell Kaiser Zane yelled darkly as he walked darkly towards the campus in his dark clothes with his dark music playing in the background, obviously showing his new edge. "I have come for you!"
"Oh that's your cue," Rose said not looking up from her PDA where she was directing troop movements, apparently Bastion had a mental breakdown with the Societies collapse and was now running through the woods naked with a broken leg, Tania obviously made finding him a top priority. "Go deal with Mr. Heck Kaiser."
Syrus slid down the bannister railing and started walking forward. "Sorry big bro, but she's not gonna fight you."
"Oh it's you little brother," Hell Kaiser Zane smirked darkly. "You really think you can stop me?" He laughed darkly.
"I don't have to. I did something much worse." Syrus replied.
"Oh?" Hell Kaiser Zane asked darkly raising a dark eyebrow darkly. "What did you do?"
"I called mom!" Syrus said triumphantly. And Hell Kaiser Zane's dark face went white.
"You did what!?" He yelled before a hand grabbed his ear.
"Zackery Trusedale!" Mrs. Truesdale yelled as she pulled Zane down to her level. "You're in big trouble mister!"
"His real name is Zackery?" Rose asked laughing.
"Yeah, why?" Syrus asked.
"That's hilarious!" Yuko cackled.
"Did he give himself the name Zane to sound cooler?" Rose asked as she watched "Zackery" get chewed out.
"No, I did." Syrus replied. "He was my hero." Yuko stopped cackling and hugged him tightly.
"Zackery Truesdale you are grounded for so long! Illegal dueling I raised you better than that!" Mrs. Truesdale yelled pulling him back towards the docks, stopping beside Syrus as she did. "Here honey-pie," She said happily handing Syrus Zane's deck. "Since your brother is going to be grounded for a while, you can use his deck."
"-But mom he's not a master of the Cyber Arts!" Zane protested before his ear was pulled harder.
"And you're gonna be a master of cleaning arts after I'm done with you!" Mrs. Truesdale huffed dragging him away, while everyone laughed.
….
"Well that was a good laugh," Rose chuckled watching Zane get hauled away.
"Yeah." Syrus said before looking down at the new cards. "Awesome new cards!" He said happily.
"We will eat your soul!" The deck whispered. "You are nothing! You will bend to our will!"
"Well that's not very nice!" Syrus said dismissively, then took out his own deck and began to shuffle the cards in. "Here, spend some time with my cards."
Inside the deck space, the Cyberdark monsters stood opposite the Vehiclroids. "These pathetic creatures are nothing!"
"You don't scare us!" Patroid yelled. "Because we have him!"
The crowd of vehicles parted to reveal Cyclroid, his one eye putting up a steely glare.
"That pathetic thing? What could he do?" Horn laughed.
Cyclroid said nothing, but pulled out a handgun from nowhere.
"Oh god-!" They all screamed at once, and coward in the corner.
"I think they'll get along great!" Syrus said happily.
….
"I see him," Rose said looking through her binoculars. "Yuko, Syrus you two in position?"
"Yeah, were good." Yuko said. Her and Syrus were draping a net across two very specific trees, ready to drop it any minute.
"Ok Tania Camula move in," Rose ordered.
"Honey!" Tania said loudly walking through the woods towards the hiding Bastion. "Honey where are you?"
"We have math problems!" Camula yelled and Bastion came out of his bush, naked, covered in dirt, and with one leg messed up pretty bad, for some reason his hair was still white as well.
"Unga?" Bastion asked confused.
"That's right quadratics," Camula said waving him closer to Yuko and Syrus.
"Unga!" He said happily walking under the tree.
"Now!" Tania screamed. Yuko and Syrus jumped from the branches, successfully capturing the poor kid in the net.
"Bingo!" Yuko shouted.
"Hold him tight!" Tania yelled wrapping Bastion in a hug. "Oh Honey Bear I missed you!" She smiled.
"UNGA BUNGA!" Bastion screamed before his head was shoved into her boobs, forcing him to calm down.
"I think that worked," Rose smiled.
"Success!" Yuko agreed.
"Lets go honey," Tania said smiling. "We have a leg to fix, and a bed to break," She said sexily.
"Unga-unga-SUEY!" Bastion yelled from between her boobs.
….
"Ok so if we move troops here we'll be able to cover that last area," Rose muttered looking over a map in the middle of class, after the final fight things slowly started returning to normal, though the reintegration of the Society members was slow going.
"Hey Rose," One of the returned Blue members said grabbing her shoulder, only for Rose to throw him over the desk.
"Sarge what the heck!?" Tyranno yelled in confusion.
"Woah." Yuko said, looking over from her note taking. "Maybe you shouldn't have done that to Big Hug Bill."
Rose glared at the two. "Maybe he shouldn't have grabbed me," she snarled as she scanned the crowd they had attracted. "I'm going to finalize these plans," she said walking away.
"Dude, you need to step down." Yuko said. "Your mental health is deteriorating."
"Yeah Sarge," Hassleberry said. "We've rounded up everyone, there's no need for us to keep watching the place."
Rose looked around the room at everyone, everyone still had their Black Knight jackets but some seemed reluctant to talk to their former friends still. "Maybe," She sighed. "Maybe you're right," She muttered. "Gather everyone in the dorm courtyard, I have an announcement to make," She ordered walking away.
...
The two started gathering students and funneling them into the Black Knight's courtyard, where Rose was standing on the roof next to their flag.
"Attention everyone!" Rose yelled. "We have won!" She screamed bringing a cheer from the crowd. "-But," She sighed. "But now it's time for the hardest part of any leaders job," She said softly. "You have all done your part well, but as of now I relieve you from your duties," She ordered to everyone's shock. "The Black Knights are no longer needed and it's time for us to separate, go back to your old dorms, help the Society members reintegrate with everyone," She said smiling sadly. "I have one request, no one hope, that if the Black Knights are ever needed again, you would let me lead you once more."
The crowd almost instantaneously roared in approval. Rose smiled as she pulled the flag out of the roof. "Thank you," She said raising her arm. "Long Live The Black Knights!" She yelled leaving the roof to go back to her room. The cheering got louder.
…..
Rose had just finished putting her uniform away and putting her Slifer jacket on when everyone came bursting in.
"Long love the queen! Long live the Black Knights!" Yuko cheered, pulling her into a hug. Everyone joined the hug until it became a huge bundle.
"Excuse you I'm a king," Rose joked from where he head was muffled in the center. "So what are you all doing here?" She asked after detaching herself.
"We're going to the Tokyo Arcade!" Syrus said. "Yuko thought it would be a good end of the year field trip for us all to go on!"
"All of us?" Rose asked.
"Of course all of us. We're not leaving without you!" Yuko said. "We wouldn't be here without you."
"Aww thanks," Rose said before she saw Alexis and Chazz standing outside. "-But I have some things I need to do, so here take the VHS BETAMAX," She said throwing them the keys.
"But this trip would be pointless without you. Besides, you need a night off more than anybody else here." Yuko insisted.
"I'll take my night off later," Rose insisted right back. "Right now I need to help take everything apart before we go," She said gently shoving them out of the room. "I promise I'll take a break soon."
"But-" Yuko started before the door was closed in her face.
….
Rose sighed as she heard the sounds of her friends leaving.
"But are they really your friends?" The voice in her head insisted. "They're just humoring you, they can't stand you."
"Shut up," Rose growled grabbing her head, the voice had been there since she started using her powers, and it had been getting worse as the year went by.
"You'll never be able to be with them again, they'll stay with those two and you'll never be able to be near them again," it giggled.
"I said shut up," Rose snapped.
"You're such a miserable creature, can't let anything go," The voice cooed as Rose curled up in a ball on the floor. "-But it's ok, because I'll always be there with you."
"Shut up," Rose sobbed. "Just shut up."
"Your only friend," The voice giggled as Rose laid there crying on the floor.
