Hey everyone, here's chapter 14! I'm sorry to say that this is the final chapter for this story. I must say it has been fun doing this.

Yami: It has been a great story to read as well.

Yugi: I agree.

Ryou: Don't worry though, she's planning on doing a sequel to this story.

That's right. If any of you remember The Return of Jafar, then you know there will be one. Remember, we haven't seen the end of Gozaburo and Seto will have his redemption. But for now, I'll hold off on making that story until a get at least a couple more fanfics complete, which one of them is close to coming to a close. Now could any of you boys do the disclaimer please?

Ryou: Absolutely. Niana doesn't own YuGiOh, Aladdin or the songs she uses.

Yugi: They belong to their respectable owners.

Yami: So for the final time for this story, enjoy!

And thank you all for sticking with this story until the very end.

Chapter 14

Freedom at Long Last

Within a few short seconds, everyone and everything that have been cast a spell upon by Gozaburo have now return to the way they were before with Bakura and Marik changing from small stuffed rabbit and chipmunk to their true animal forms, Skye no longer a statue, the chains that pin Ryou and Malik to the floor disappear, the strings connected to Solomon's wrists and ankles vanish, Joey reverts back to a full grown dog, Yugi and everyone who had their attires change back to how they were before, and finally, the palace returns to being on the ground and not on the high cliff with the sky clearing to reveal a bright day.

Holding the dark lamp in his hands, Yami could feel movement coming from inside as he, Dartz, Bakura and Marik, after celebrating that they are back to being their true animal form and joining the two, hear Gozaburo and the unfortunate Seto bicker and yell at each other. "Get your blasted beak out of my face." Gozaburo demands as he pushes Seto aside, forgetting that there is very little space that'll allow him to do so.

"Oh shut up, you goateed hothead!" Seto snaps back as he almost snaps Gozaburo's hand right off his wrist.

"Don't you tell me to shut up, you stubborn, high-ego brat!"

Sharing looks that clearly say 'typical', Dartz says as he gently takes the lamp and walks out onto the balcony facing the forest while Bakura and Marik snicker at the comments being made inside the lamp, "Allow me. I believe a few millennia in the Cave of Desires is long enough to get this hothead genie to cool down."

With a strong flick of his wrist, Dartz sends the dark lamp deep into the forest and into the cave that shall never open. Coming out onto the balcony to see Gozaburo disappear into the forest, Yami grins that he and his stepson are gone.

Feeling Yugi come up beside him, Yami faces his beloved prince and says as he holds him in his arms, "Yugi, I'm sorry I had lied to you and everyone about being a prince until you found me out. All I wanted is to be with you."

Gazing sadly into his deep crimson eyes that he had fallen deeply in love with, Yugi says softly, "I know why you did."

"Then I guess this will be the last time we'll see each other." To hear how sad his friend sounds, Dartz slowly turns toward the two to see how heartbroken they are at the fact that they have to be separated still.

This brought tears into Yugi's eyes as he kept his eyes set on his beloved's face. "That stupid law. This isn't fair. I love you, Yami." Seeing their best friends appear so sad as they hold each other, Bakura and Marik hold their own lovers close, knowing full well that the law affects them as well with Ryou burying his teared up face in Bakura's chest and Malik snuggle into Marik's side, tears in his lilac purple eyes as well.

Wiping tears from his gold eyes, Dartz smiles at his three friends and says with a more cheerful voice, "Hey don't worry guys, you each have one wish left. Just say the word and you're a prince again Yami and you two are nobles once more."

"But Dartz, what about you and Skye's freedom?" Bakura asks as he gently scratches Skye right in between her ear since she had come outside with the emperor and Joey.

"Oh it's only an eternity of servitude, but what you three each have is love, and it's a lot more precious than anything in the world. Just think, you three could never find other boys like them in a few eons. Believe me, after I had lost Iona, I looked and had no luck finding someone like her."

Understanding that their friend doesn't want them to give up something this precious to them, the three face each other, nod and then turn to their lovers with Yami saying as he gently caress his cheek, "Yugi, I love you more than anything in the entire universe, but Bakura, Marik and I need to stop pretending being someone we're not."

Holding the hand against his face, Yugi glances up at him with complete understanding, "We understand."

After looking at their lovers for one more minute, the three older teens face Dartz and say at the same time, "Dartz, we wish for you and Skye's freedom." Just before Dartz is about to grant their final wishes, he had missed what they had said instead of what he had thought they would wish for as he looks at them in confusion. Since their friend needed to be clarified, Yami and his friends hold the lamp to the Atlantean genie, all three saying, "Dartz, you and Skye are free!"

With that, the lamp granted their final wish as it's own magic surrounds Dartz and Skye. Watching their friends with smiles forming on their faces, their smiles only grew as Dartz lets out a sigh as the arm bands that bind him to the lamp all of a sudden vanish and Skye lets out a long and low howl that she has finally been freed with the neck band that showed her being bound to lamp also vanish.

The lamp no longer having its powers since Dartz and Skye are no longer bound to it, loses its light and falls to the ground with a clang. Staring at the old lamp that is now just a regular lamp, Dartz's eyes become wide in disbelief that he no longer feels connected to his portable prison.

"Am I really free?" Dartz then looks at his hands. Once Skye came over to him and he gently stroke her, Dartz realizes that they still have their own powers, they are just no longer bound to the lamp. Their freedom being confirmed, Dartz lets loose as he springs around the balcony like a pinball. "Does it feel great! I'm free! Skye's free! We're free at long last! Now that I'm no longer bound, I'm heading out to see how different the world is since my imprisonment began!"

Once he turns back to his friends, his smile slowly fades when he sees Yami, Bakura and Marik give him sad smiles. "Dartz, we're going to miss you while you're gone." Yami says since Bakura and Marik are trying to fight off tears that threaten to shed from their eyes."

"I'll miss you three as well. Just remember that no matter what anyone else says," Dartz then brings the three into a tight hug, "you're always royals to me."

Being touched by the four friends, an idea comes to Solomon's mind. "That's right. You three have proven yourselves as far as I'm concerned. The problem is that law, however."

Seeing a mischievous grin on the emperor's face caused the Prince and his friends to become curious of what is going through his head. "Sir?" Joey asks since his friends are pondering over what the emperor is saying.

"Well am I emperor or am I emperor. From this day forth, I hereby declare that the prince and his noble friends shall marry whoever they deem worthy!"

Just like that, Yugi, Ryou and Malik face their lovers as the older teens sweep them off their feet with them saying, "Him, I choose!". Once back on their feet but still in their arms, the three smaller teens say almost together, "I choose you, Yami.", "I choose you, Bakura.", and "I choose you, Marik."

Being joyful inside, the older teens slowly lean closer to them until Dartz calls out bringing everyone into a huge hug since he used his magic to be just big enough to hold all three couples into a big group hug, "Come here, all of you! Big group hug time!"

A couple seconds after he releases them, Dartz shoots off into the clear blue sky like a rocket, waving good-bye to everyone on the balcony and they all wave back. "Hey Skye, do me a favor and look after those lovebirds for me. Later everyone, I'm history! No, I'm mythology! Oh forget it, doesn't matter what I am. I'm FREE!"

A few hours later, it is now nighttime. The sky is all lit up with fireworks, celebrating Yami and Yugi's engagement, along with Bakura and Ryou being engaged too and Marik and Malik also engaged.

Mounted upon Skye as she is a silver horse, Yami and Yugi hold each other's hands as they gaze deeply into each other's eyes.

A whole new world

Yami begins, keeping Yugi close.

A whole new life

Yugi replies as he snuggles closer to his beloved.

For you and me

The two sing together before they lean closer and kiss tenderly. Their friends watching them as they all stand on one of the balconies and smile as they all watch Skye stand on her hind legs before pushing off the ground and soars into the sky and the moonlight. Watching from afar, Dartz could only smile that his best friends are getting the ending and freedom they wanted for so long.
