So here it is, the grand finally, in other words, the final chapter! ^_^

They all starred wide-eyed as the brunette figured emerged reveal herself to be none other than…Anzu Mazaki. "This is impossible," Anzu shouted, eyes wide with fear and shock as her heart beat sped up and seemed to beat right out of her chest.

"Anything's possible Mazaki, the look on your face is priceless, your fear is your downfall," and with that he disappeared leaving Bakura, Ryou, Yami, Yuugi, Malik, Mariku and Seto helpless, Anzu scarred out of her wits and the other Anzu holding a sword ready to attack.

"I didn't think you were afraid of anything, Anzu, the name really does fit you doesn't it, it was yours to begin with," the other smirked, for now to be known as Mazaki, while Anzu's brow furrowed. 'First, but how?' she thought unsure of what Mazaki's last statement meant.

"Pathetic," Mazaki sneered lunging at her swinging the blade at her neck, and it would have hit had Anzu not dodged the blow by jumping backwards. Unfortunately, in doing so, she jumped back into a wall, an invisible wall cutting her off from her friends. She narrowly missed getting her head skewered by a well-aimed sword.

As the battle went on, the gang watched anxiously while Anzu had her hands full and couldn't really be thinking about anything but dodging right now. She nearly missed her step when it hit her bang smack in the face what Mazaki's comment, 'It was yours to begin with' meant. How she used to be what she was now but became a cheerleading, friendship preaching, bitch for a rather long period of time, to long for her taste.

Mazaki lunged her sword at her once again but this time placed a well-aimed kick right in the girl's stomach. Mazaki doubled over spluttering and in the mean time Anzu was bale to grab her sword. Anzu jumped a foot in the air when the sword disintegrated right before her eyes. At the same time a black ball floated out of Mazaki's back. It seemed to be illuminated will an eerie glow and vanished with a small pop about five seconds after appearing.

Anzu was snapped back to reality when violent coughing and spluttering caught her ears. She knelt down to Mazaki who didn't seem to be evil anymore, as though she had been under a spell and no wasn't. Well, right now she seemed to be struggling to breath, her eyes wide, pupil's dilated. "Mazaki," Anzu whispered putting her hand on the girl's shoulder.

The spluttering stopped and Mazaki looked blankly at Anzu before filtering into tiny white, brilliantly glowing particles. They wrapped themselves around Anzu's still outstretched arms, intricate designs gradually being formed by the dots of light. Ten, all of a sudden, the dots disappeared seeming to sink right through Anzu's skin and illuminating it form the inside. It became the same colour as your nail or finger would if you stuck a torch under it.

Anzu starred blankly at the rapidly disappearing designs as strange warmth leapt through her. She gasped when her surroundings melted away into a pure white and a figure appeared before her. She stood up; her voice box didn't seem to want to comply with her commands and refused to work. "You have changed Anzu," the lady before her commented and then a card appeared before Anzu, 'Changing Covers,' and gradually the once shadowed image melted into colour to reveal the same girl therefore her that was gradually beco0mming more transparent.

The card went rigid and Anzu took it in her hand replacing it in her pocket where her deck lay. She smiled and didn't even realise it when her would went black and she effectively fainted.

---The Hikari's, Yami's and Seto---

All present starred in shock, apprehension, worry and wonder as the two identical brunettes fought with each other. "Yami, do think our Anzu ill win?" Yuugi asked looking up to his Yami's ruby red eyes with pleading violet orbs.

"I don't know Yuugi, I honestly don't," Yami replied looking between his Aibou and the two 'Anzu's' with obvious concern.

"Question is, which one's our Anzu, they both look the same to me," Malik commented watching the fight with narrowed eyes.

"Another think I don't get is why we're here," Bakura commented, he was currently holding a violently shivering Ryou. There was nothing going on between them but the boy was scarred and it was Bakura job to guide and protect him. He hadn't done that at first but now he was a bit more open to people, Ryou especially.

"Yeh go Anzu," Mariku declared smirking as Mazaki got kicked and the sword disappeared.

"Maybe this battles about to turn around," Seto commented, the tiniest hint of a smirk paying on his lips.

They all looked shocked when the other Anzu just disappeared and then their Anzu became enclose in ad transparent box that gradually clouded over and became white. None of them even realised that at the same time they each slipped out of consciousness.

Bakura blinked his eyes open and looked around to find himself and everyone back in Seto's living room apparently holding a party. He looked to Ryou who was next to him and asked, "Ryou weren't we just in…the shadow realm?"

"The shadow realm?" Ryou looked at him as though he was crazy, "we haven't been anywhere but here Bakura, let alone the shadow realm." The white haired boy laughed as his darker counterpart scowled crossing his arms. "Funny thing is," Ryou started after sobering to the point that he could have a straight conversation, "Yami, Mariku and Seto all said the same thing as you, strange huh?"

'So none of them remember, not even Anzu? Well…but that boy, he wasn't defeated or destroyed, he's still out there I think. What did he what, or maybe what does he want?' "Yeh Ryou, really strange," he replied before settling down and crossing his arms.

---The shadow realm---

"You failed," came a gruff voice from the eternal blackness in which was mixed blue and purple that twisted themselves eloquently through the darkness.

"I know master, but I shall try again," the Duel Monster known as Demonic Layer answered smirking.

"Make sure you don't fail," the voice called out again anger lacing it's subtle way into the edges of the applied tone.

"Yes Master," Demon layer smirked and turned looking into the blackness a plan already forming in his twisted mind.

Phew, it's done, now I can get some real work on my other stories done! ^_^ Please R&R, I'd really appreciate it! ^_^
