End of Battle City folks!
Erin's POV

"How the hell is he awake?!" Zane exclaimed as Odion came out of nowhere. I was with Seto and Mokuba, alongside Ishizu and Zane.

The duel between Yami and Yami Marik was still happening.

"Who knows" I replied as Odion continued towards the arena.

"We were doing just fine without you, Odion," Marik's dark half spat. "If you can keep on your feet, you'll witness me my triumph over the Pharaoh!"

"Up yours!" Zane and I shouted at the jackass together making Seto smirk and Mokuba holding back a laugh.

"Release my brother now!" Odion shouted.

"Your too late you fool! I've taken his body and the Shadow Realm almost has his soul!"

Odion brushed that aside and continued to reach out to his brother. It was Marik's good half that created his evil self and that same half could dispose of the dark half. And if they took down Yami Marik before that they can do it again.

Having enough Yami Marik used the Millennium Rod to send Odion flying into a wall.

"Marik!" I shouted hoping to get the good half. "Your brother is right! You did create your dark half and you can send him packing!"

"Stay out of this Little Fox!"

I then felt the Millennium Rod's power, and like Odion, I was thrown into a wall that hurt like a bitch. This pissed both Seto and Zane off big time. While Ishizu was trying to calm Zane down, Seto and Mokuba came over to me.

"I'm alright, you two," I reassured the Kaiba brothers as I got to my feet.

Odion said something else that must have pissed off Yami Marik because he was thrown against the wall again courtesy of the Millennium Rod. The elder Ishtar told Ishizu and Zane he was all right. Yami Marik then suddenly grabbed his face and the Millennium Rod fell. A smirk came to my lips when I saw that the true Marik was finally fighting back.

"If you can hear me, Pharaoh, then attack me now!"

Yami, of course, refused, but the true Marik pleaded.

"Please I'm begging you too, I can't hold back my dark half much longer and I need your help to send him away once and for all, I'm so sorry for hurting you and your friends, as a Tomb-Keeper I was raised to serve you, but I always resented this task and my hatred for you gave life to my evil self, I'm ready to take responsibility for the wrongs I have committed!"

That was enough convincing for Yami to agree and he revealed the magic card Ragnarok.

My jaw dropped along with Zane's as every freaking monster of Yugi's came to life in ghostly forms including Obelisk and Slifer. Moonstone Dragon noticed Zane and it flew over to its former master. Zane smiled as Moonstone lowered its head and placed its snout against his forehead for a moment before joining its comrades.

Slifer wrapped its coils around Ra, and Obelisk snuck up behind it, grabbing it with its claws. It wasn't long until all of the monsters, including the Egyptian Gods, were hovering in the air with Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl following.

The two spell casters combined their staffs together and unleashed their attack which caused the sky to light up. Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl returned to Yami's side and we all waited to see what would become of Marik now.

Ishizu put her hand into Zane's and whispered she hoped her younger brother was alright. And alright he was because a few seconds later, the good Marik stood in his evil half's place. Marik opened his eyes, and damn, he looked exhausted. Suddenly, his dark half appeared beside him, well, a portion of his face and eye anyway.

The asshole tried to convince Marik he still needed him. Marik apologized again to Yami, and he embraced his role as a Tomb Keeper before telling his dark half to be gone, and he surrounded the duel to Yami.

With the duel done, the sky returned to normal, and Roland announced Yami as the winner of the Battle City crown. Zane decided to go with Ishizu and Odion to talk with Marik.

"I bet y'all are ready to get out of here," I told the Kaiba brothers.

"You have no idea" Seto agreed.

"Not gonna lie, I miss home," Mokuba added with a blush.

"I have to agree with you on that one, little brother," my Zaldrizes chuckled.

"Oi sis!"

Wondering what Zane wanted I excused myself from Seto and Mokuba. Marik had his shirt off and I had a WTF look on my face. It was then I saw the markings on his back and it almost looked exactly like one of the stone tablets back at the museum. But this one had an ankh in the center and the three Egyptian Gods surrounding it.

"We almost forgot about this," Marik explained, and he handed me a scroll. "The Ishtar family also guarded this for 5,000 years as well"

I took the scroll, and Zane came to my side, wondering what was in it. I opened it, and my eyes widened as I saw a blown-up photograph carving of Mareena. Behind her was her true form along with three dragons hovering protectively over her. Then on her right and left side were Moonstone and Blue Eyes White Dragon.

Suddenly Balerion and Vhagar spoke at once.

Meraxes

"This carving is back in Egypt, and we had no clue what it meant until recently" Odion explained. "Your past self aided the Pharaoh in defeating whatever evil threatened Egypt, but that couldn't be done without these five dragons"

"One of them is Meraxes," I added, looking up at the Ishtars. "But when I received the Valyrian Deck she wasn't with it"

"Perhaps Pegasus might know where that card is" Seto suggested.

I shot my Zaldrizes a glare because he snuck up on us and Mokuba had a "Sorry" look on his face.

"Pegasus was the one who gave her the Valyrian Deck and myself Moonstone Dragon, our mother actually has worked with him a few times" Zane explained.

"And you, my Zaldrizes, are going to meet her at some point, as well Ishizu," I pointed out.

"Erin, one more thing," Marik resumed. "I also wanted to apologize to you and Zane as well for what I put you through, but now that my dark half is gone, this means everyone that was sent to the Shadow Realm will reawaken"

"Meaning Bakura will be back" Seto growled.

"Seto chill will ya? You know Erin can take care of herself"

"Sorry little brother you can't exactly blame me for getting jealous when another guy wants my girlfriend for his own"

All of the Ishtars looked surprised at how open Seto was being and Zane was shaking his head.

I intertwined a hand into Seto's and gave it a squeeze. Then my mate decided to make an announcement.

"Alright, you geeks! This victory celebration has gone on long enough, the Battle City Tournament is over, my advice is that all of you board Kaiba Craft 3 and head on back to Domino because in one hour this whole island is going to explode"

This got everyone to burst out yelling at once.

"Say what?!" Zane and Joey exclaimed.

"Please say you're joking!" Tristan voiced in. "Please say yes!"

"I'm being dead serious" Seto continued. "If the blimp still isn't working take the chopper that was brought from the mainland"

A Few Minutes Later.
Still Erin's POV

Seto wanted to borrow me for a few so Zane said he would get our stuff and meet back up with me shortly. My Zaldrizes brought me into a hidden bunker, and my eyes went bug-eyed as I saw the Blue Eyes White Dragons jet.

"Holy shit" was all I could say as I admired the jet.

"Nice isn't it?"

"Damn right it is"

Seto chuckled before approaching, and the next thing I knew, I was pinned against the wall, and his lips met with mine. As always, whenever he kissed me, my skin felt like it was on fire. But due to the time limit, the kiss was short, but it did the job of making me breathless.

"You're cute when you blush, Kitsune," Seto teased.

"You're never going to let that go, aren't you?"

"Nope"

He kissed my hand before his face turned serious.

"When I get back to Domino I'll be busy for a while but the moment I have some free time, I'll contact you, Erin, in the meantime be careful around that bastard"

He was referring to Bakura.

"My love I am a Nine-Tailed Fox and can stand my ground"

Seto nodded before pressing a kiss on my forehead.

"Seto, I'm ready whenever you are," Mokuba chimed in as he joined us.

"Come here Lekia let me hug you before I leave"

I bent down and Mokuba didn't hesitate to throw himself into my arms.

"I wish you didn't have to leave so soon, Erin"

"I know, buddy, but we'll see each other soon; in the meantime, don't drive your brother crazy, okay?"

Mokuba chuckled, and I gave him a kiss on the forehead before letting him go. Seto then told me he loved me as well telling me the right direction back to the others. Back on the blimp, I told Roland and the other suits the Kaiba brothers were okay, and it wasn't a surprise the blimp was still acting stupid.

"Everything go okay with Kaiba?" Zane wondered as I found him.

"Yeah, he's got his own way out of here. How's Mai and Ryou?"

"Both are awake and Mai pulled a prank on Joey"

"So what's going to happen with the Ishtars?"

"Odion and I will head back to Egypt in a few days; Ishizu will stay in Domino for a while," Marik answered as he and the rest of his family joined in. "Zane says your mother will want to meet her"

Ishizu blushed and Zane pressed a kiss against her forehead.

"Well you and Odion have nothing to worry about, Ishizu will be in good hands, Nine-Tailed Foxes protect their mates with their lives"

"You and Zane don't eat human livers do you?" Odion inquired.

"Nope our appetites are just like humans though we tend to be greedy when it comes to some foods"

"True you tend to hit all the peanut butter at home sis"

I gave Zane the bird, which made Marik chuckle, and even Odion cracked a smile. Zane suddenly growled and he was quick to move around Ishizu and stand in front of me as Ryou looked at us. Both of us knew Bakura wanted a word.

"Zane, back off," I told my older sibling. "Let me handle this"

Zane gave another growl before allowing me to pass him. To be on the safe side I summoned my sword and made sure to let Ryou see it. He gave me a sympathetic glance which I returned as the two of us walked far enough away from my brother and the Ishtars until we were both alone.

"You can drop the act, Bakura," I addressed the spirit of the Millennium Ring.

"So even after 5,000 years, you still choose Kaiba," Bakura said.

"You know damn well why I chose him"

"Then tell me, my moonlight, what would happen if he betrays you like he did before? What then?"

"He will not betray her"

Silverwing appeared as a spirit beside me.

"Hello, Silverwing," Bakura greeted the dragoness.

"If you truly love my wielder thief, then you will honor her wishes and respect her decision"

It was then Bakura reverted back to Ryou.

"I'm sorry Erin, but he's too upset to talk anymore"

"I understand but I hope he accepts the fact we're not meant to be"

"That won't stop him, and this won't be the last either," Silverwing pointed out. "I must go, call me should you need me wielder"

She then disappeared.

"Wait a minute I just remembered I have the Millennium Ring, but it did a disappearing act on me"

"Hang onto it eventually Yugi will need it"

I agreed for the time being, it was best to do as he suggested, and after giving him a pat on the shoulder, we regrouped with everyone else. Mai gave me a big ass hug and it was good to see her up and about then said we needed to leave, and every person on the blimp, including the medical team, hauled ass to the chopper outside.

Once everyone was counted for, the chopper started, and it began to lift off. And true to Seto's word the island began to explode. Joey repeated a line from Moby Dick as the entire island continued to get trashed from the many explosions.

"Wait a minute what the hell is that?" Zane inquired looking out the window. I saw the silhouette of the Blue Eyes jet and smirked while everyone else had WTF looks on their faces. Yami at first assumed it was an actual Blue Eyes before realizing it was actually a jet.

Over the intercom, Seto laughed.

"SAY WHAT?!" Joey yelled at the same time Zane added.

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

"Hey guys, surprise, surprise!" Mokuba said to us from the jet.

The others voiced their disbelief while Joey hurried to the cockpit and roared through the intercom at Seto. Zane shot me a look and I smirked in return. After some short dialogue, Seto said they hadn't seen the last of him, including Yami.

Then the Blue Eyes jet sped off, and even now, being separated from my Zaldrizes hurt. Zane wrapped an arm around my shoulder and I was grateful he was here with me. Now that the Battle City Tournament was over things would go back to normal, or at least I hope they did. And I would need to keep an eye on Bakura because I knew I wasn't going to see the last of him. But I also looked forward to where my future with my beloved would take me and I was ready to see what would happen.

Damn poor Bakura. Don't worry he hasn't given up on her and also it will be a few chapters before the Awakening of the Dragons Ark. Seto and Erin will have to deal with a jealous ex of Seto's whose gonna be mad that Seto moved on.
