Epilogue

"Now Great Leviathan! Destroy the Pharaoh! Rip him to shreds with your dark energies!"

"No! Yami!"

"Yugi! Stop!"

"Huh?"

"I must fight him by myself, and prove that I have no rage within me!"

"Stay strong!" He screams, as Yami kept fighting the evil power threatening to tear his soul apart. Dartz laughed, as nearby, a towering fiery black serpent watched with glowing yellow eyes, "remember the light of the friends! Their light gives you strength! I GIVE YOU STRENGTH!"

He's right! Dartz cannot destroy me for as long as I hold friendship and its brightening light!

//FLASHBACK//

"Hm... not bad. But what is the use anyway? Why must you drag out this duel? The score boards aren't pointing in your favor, Pharaoh, and your friends are unable to support you, because they are on the other side... give up Pharaoh. It would do the world a huge favor if you do... you can save the world by forfeiting."

Maybe he's right... maybe I would do the world much better by surrendering my soul... and be with my friends...

"Yes... listen to reason Pharaoh... you were brought into this world to pay for your misdeeds... all you have to do is place your hand over your Duel Disk, and surrender your soul. What are you waiting for, Pharaoh? Set yourself free... join your friends one last time before paradise is rebuilt once again..."

"I must surrender my soul..."

"Yes Pharaoh, keep listening to the voice of reason inside your head...

"Pharaoh! Don't you dare! Don't you dare give up!" Maya yells, "Dartz is trying to trick you!"

"If you give up now, the whole world is doomed, Pharaoh! Please, you mustn't give up now! You can still win this duel! Remember Heart of the Cards! That philosophy has never failed you before so why should it now?"

"Silence!" Dartz commands, sending a shockwave of magic to blast back the two spirits controlling Harry and Cassandra's bodies. They were blown back and slid down the walls, now unconscious.

"Do not listen to them Pharaoh... go on and embrace your fate..."

He smiled wickedly, as the Pharaoh's trembling hand was hovering near over the Duel Disk. The spirit himself, he felt trapped, surrounded by a heavy liquid that was growing darker and darker as he fell into its depths. Memories were flashing through his mind's eye, Kaiba's last play before he was sealed, from when their adventures began, to the sacrifice Yugi made in order to save the spirit of the Sennen Puzzle, from memories of finding the soulless state of Jonouchi, the recent losses of Harry, Cassandra, and even Lily...

"Hmhmhmhm... go sacred seal of the Orichalcos, encircle the Pharaoh now!" He commands. The chamber is aglow with its radiant energies, as the first layer of the seal slowly begins to shrink. He smiled as the Pharaoh stayed still. However, just as the seal was about to make forth its latest collection, the ancient magicks of the Sennen Item the Pharaoh wore began to react with a golden light. A shield sprung around, and instantly repelled the Orichalcos back, shocking Dartz.

"NO! IMPOSSIBLE!"

The golden light flared around, as the Eye of Ra began to shine brightly.

"NO ONE CAN REPEL THE ORICHALCOS!"

//END FLASHBACK//

Yami glares, even as the surge of darkness kept spiraling around him in an effort to destroy him.

"With the power of the light deep within my heart, and the light of all my friends I cherish, I will seal you away! BEGONE!" The storms that were increasing again slowly began to break and fade away, as the dark serpent was being drawn, smothered under the power of the light overpowering the dark, and slowly but sure sealing the demon. Dartz cries out as his will vanishes for good.

The energy was now gone. The evil was now gone. The world was saved once again... And Dartz... as Yami thought, was set free by the evil that was the Orichalcos. As Yami collapsed, and picked up by Yugi, Ironheart, Chris, and Skye appeared in a golden glow of light, and walked over to Dartz, and helped the man up as he awoke.

"G...Grandfather?"

"Yes Dartz, you've been set free by the Great Pharaoh..."

"Oh dad, I'm glad you're back," said Chris, tears in the girl's eyes.

"Oh, Chris... Pharaoh... I thank you."

"I knew you were always a kind and noble king... you were never evil at all. It was the Orichalcos which has twisted your ways, and forced you into what it wished of you to become. It shall trouble you no longer."

"And I am glad... now I am finally with my family again."

"Yes Pharaoh, thank you for everything, you, your friends, and the rest of the Chosen Ones. You have saved my son, and saved our worlds from destruction."

"Yes... but, now what will you do?" The spirit questions Ironheart.

"We will be fine on our own, for the first time in centuries. It is time that you return to your world... through that tunnel, and join the rest of your friends."

"Yes... let's go Yugi, shall we?" Yami questions the boy.

Yugi nods with a spoke smile. "Sure."

The two look back one last time at the reunited family, before together they travel through the portal, which then vanishes.

"Hey dad, we should go to. After all, we have a lot of catching up to do."

"Yes..."

They were the last souls to step foot onto this world. As soon as they all departed, the island began to sink to the ocean below, just as Kaiba, Jonouchi, Lily, Harry, and Cassie made it back out.

"Mokuba start the engines now! We have to get out of here!"

"What's going on!?"

"This island's going sink. Call it a hunch."

Anzu looks around. "Hey, where's Yugi? Wasn't he with you guys?"

"Uh..."

The group look back to the entrance of the temple. "Don't tell me..."

"Oh no..."

"... We don't have much time. We have to escape and fast."

Jonouchi growls, and makes to run back to the temple. "Hold on! I ain't leaving without Yugi!"

"Are you fucking nuts?" Honda calls out, snatching Jonouchi and holding him back, "we gotta get."

"I am not going to abandon Yugi now!"

"We just need to hope Yugi made it out safely..."

Everyone boarded the heli, and it soon took off, just as the last of the island sunk, and the tidal waves came crashing down.

In a hospital on the other side of Domino City, three souls awaken. First was Haga and Ryuzaki, who when they woke up... insert comedy relief, blame Yugi and Jonouchi, and plot up a ridiculous revenge before leaving, which is more like running out of the hospital. Amelda opened his eyes, and looked around, finding himself inside a hospital.

"Where am I?" He then spots something near him, and he picks up the action figure that belonged to Mikey.

He clutches the figure tightly, as a single tear slips from his eye.

In another part of the world... Valon awakens, finding himself at home, as the sun was setting off in the distance. The beach home sat near the ocean, with the few wild palm trees swaying in the warm breeze of the setting sun.

"I'm home... But, was that all a dream? No... Wait a minute..." He remembered the tough duel he had, and how Jonouchi pulled off the win with Big Bang Dragon Blow, and then telling the young man to save Mai from the darkness before the Orichalcos had captured his soul. As he gets up, a card hits the ground, and he picks it up, revealing Harpie Lady. He walks to the open balcony, and took a look out to se the beautiful sunset.

"Thank you Mai... I'll never forget this."

And elsewhere, riding along the beach was Mai. She wasn't ready to return yet, but until she was, the first things she's going to do was pick up the piece of her life, and get back to the person she once was. She was foolish to even allow the Orichalcos to take control over her, but thanks to Jonouchi, she was freed from its evil... and now she had a second chance to set things right in her world. She speeds of into the distance with that thought in mind.

I'll be back, Jonouchi... just wait for me, sweetheart.

The Wizarding World was picking up the pieces of the damage caused by the Orichalcos. Hogwarts was closed for repairs; however it didn't leave the children free from homework. If they were able to finish assigned workings, they would still be able to pass their grades or graduate for the students of their final year at Hogwarts. But yes, things were starting to return to normal. This was just one of those things that proved that magic is not just limited to them... no, it could exist anywhere in the world, and can be accessed by anybody. There could be a few purebloods that will try and find this power, but they never will. The Ministry of Magic and all other Ministries were repairing damages done to their magical sensors, which wouldn't take even seven weeks to fully repair and have everything back into formation... And to be safe, Memory Charms were ensured that those with ill intent may never remember this event, of the existence of the HQ to the Order of the Phoenix. Now, there was a meeting held, and it had to deal with what had occurred earlier today, since now it's nearing the noon hours here in the Atlantic area of the world.

"The Orichalcos, a powerful source of magic, now no longer exists, and every soul captured has been set free. Unfortunately, it also has released Voldemort."

"Which means the time of peril will be You-Know-Who..."

"Yes, exactly, James. We will resume operations as usual, and better protect the world so that Voldemort may never discover other ancient forms of magic."

"What about Lily, Harry, and Cassandra?"

He shakes his head. "So far, I have heard nothing... we all however see that island of the lost Atlantis city sinking into the ocean... I just hope they did make it out alive."

"Harry and his friends did see us use our Portkeys, and they know that wizarding magic exists."

"Yes, and yet they have all been involved in adventures that detailed forms of magic such as that Shadow Magic we witnessed last summer, and this year the evil of the Orichalcos which affected both of our worlds, wizarding and muggle. We just hope for the best, and take care of damage control. Hopefully, in a few days, civilization shall return to normal, as best it could..."

Severus groans, as his Dark Mark burns.

"The bastard... is calling for his loyalists again... didn't think it'd take him this long."

"Go Severus."

The man growls. "If only Harry and Cassandra were still around..." He leaves the meeting, and once outside, disapparate away.

In America, Pegasus had already returned to work in I2. And already, he was working on something. "Hehe, I hope Harry likes these cards." The man who enjoys toon monsters was already hard at work creating more monster cards.

In the Atlantic Ocean, Yugi has washed ashore some remote island. The water nipped at the ankles of his legs, as Mana's voice called ou to the boy.

He wakes up, and looks around. "Uh... where are we?"

"I think we must have washed ashore... however I think someone may have guided us here."

A brilliant glow flashes before them as the aurora radiates in the skies, and the three knights and Mana appear.

"Mana and the three Legendary Knights!"

The young woman smiled. "Yugi, Pharaoh, thanks to you and the Chosen, not only is your world safe form destruction, but our world is safe as well. You have also broken the evil spell which has kept the knights imprisoned in dragon form, and now they can truly flourish as they did so long ago, and protect our home land for the years to come."

"Mana..."

She smiles.

"We will never forget the bravery."

"We'll never forget you and your friends."

"For as long as we reign."

Yami smiled, as he stands next to Yugi. "Well, we'll never forget you guys as well. Thank you for everything."

"My Pharaoh. Thank you... oh!" She reached into her pocket, and pulled out a card, "here, I have something I wish to give to Harry."

"What is it, Mana?" Yami asks, as Yugi accepts the card.

"It is a portion of my fusion powers that he may use to keep his Cross Power," Timaeus tells the Pharaoh, "that way; he will never lose sight of the power he uses to shield those from the wicked."

"Very well. We will hand this to Harry. Because of your bravery, your dedication, you have sparked a light so bright, that no evil darkness can penetrate it."

The three knights all nod and smile. "Yes. Until we meet again, Pharaoh. Farewell!" The three knights then take to the skies, and they return back home.

"There comes a time we may be needed again, Pharaoh," Mana says, as she faces them alone now, "however, I know that you will be there to fight the darkness if the world is threatened again. If a time ever comes, I'll always be within your deck." She giggled softly, and levitates higher into the sky, "until we meet again!"

She flies off to the distance following the three knights.

"Wow... those weird lights are back."

Everyone was looking outside.

"They are returning home. Now the danger has passed so they are no longer needed in our world," said Arthur.

"And there's Black Magician Girl," Jonouchi pointed out.

The three knights halt, as Mana flies close to the chopper, as Maya pressed her hand against the glass.

"I'll see you soon, little sister."

"Big sis..." Maya smiles. Mana smiled back, before she leaves them. They soon vanish through the gateway, which seals up one last time, and the aurora dissipates. Jonouchi pulled out his card, as did Lily. The card shatters into a golden light and vanishes until its power would be called upon once more. The same happens to the cards of Critias held by Kaiba and Cassandra. Harry's vanish as well. The older Kaiba just smirked to himself.

"Holy shit! There's Yugi!"

The heli flies toward the island, and lands, as the Yugi-tachi all pile out. Honda, Anzu, Jonouchi, Harry, Cassandra, Otogi, and Rebecca, they all gather around their friend, as Yami watches with an ever present warm grin and hearty laugh, as the smaller boy was hugged by Harry, then piled by the other guys.

"C'mon guys, lets' get going. I'm sure there's someone else trying to take over the world back home."

Honda smirked. "And the scary thing is he could be right."

"Yeah, that Voldemort character," Anzu says, remembering the Hogwarts incident.

"He has Dumbledore who can kick his ass," said Harry.

"Harry, hold on!" Yugi calls out, running up to the older teen and his girlfriend.

"Uh, what is it Yuge?"

The boy hands him a card.

"Mana told me to hand this to you. It's a parting gift from Timaeus. His portion of fusion power for your Cross Modes..."

Harry smiled more. "I see... this shall help." He adds it to his deck, "Though I now need to reedit this deck... I think I'm going to cut out my Soul Unison cards and stick to my Cross Over ability."

"Whatever you want to do Harry," Yugi says.

Yugi turns around, and faces Yami, who stares back. They knew what they must do. Before all of this craziness began... find the secrets fo the Pharaoh, and hopefully, put the Pharaoh's spirit to rest. And finally, this whole adventure will end, because the mysteries will be solved. The mysteries surrounding the Pharaoh, and Harry and Cassandra's involvement...

Let's go Yami.

I'm right behind you, Yugi.

The spirit fades back into Yugi, and he runs on board, as the heli takes flight.

"Isono, we're going to London. We need to drop Mrs. Potter off home."

"Yes sir!"

It flies towards the east, in the direction of London.

"Mom... Are you going to be alright?" Harry asks her.

She turns to face Harry.

"You... you just called me mom..."

Harry had some tears in his eyes. "Well, of course I did... why wouldn't I?"

Lily cried and hugged her son, and Harry hugged her back. "Oh Harry, I love you so much."

"I love you too, mom..."

Everyone was touched by this heart-warming scene. Even Seto couldn't help but smile. Lily lets go of her son, and smiled softly.

"Son, I know how much you and Cassandra really love each other, so can you do me a favor?"

"Yeah?"

She gained a cheeky smile. "Don't give me grandchildren yet, okay?"

Harry and Cassie face fault.

"MOM!"

"MRS. POTTER!"

And cue the laugher.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Two jets of green light strike Gregory Rain and Charter Malfoy, killing them.

Lucius Malfoy snarls, and kicks Charter in the face hard with the shoe he worn transfigured to stone. It caved his face him.

"That is for trying to take control of my family you bloody wanker!"

"Lucius, enough."

"I am sorry milord." Mr. Malfoy bows low to the Dark Lord.

"You have regained your properties... but now we must plan... return home now... I believe I may have a use for your son. Now is his time to prove himself to the family, and join me in purifying this world of dirty blood."

"Yes milord." He kissed his master's robs at the hem, and then vanished.

Voldemort hisses sinisterly, and calls his pet, which slithers over and begins to devour her two human treats.

And that's the end. Finished with the second installment. When I return, I'll go into Grand Championship, which I will have it start on a different date than in canon since I had things all switched up in this storyline. Now, I trully enjoyed everyone's thoughts on this crossover. And yes, Voldemort IS back. He was captured by the Orichalcos, and he was freed when the Leviathan was defeated... you win some, you lose some. Dumbledore's back though so... things are back to normal. I had alot of new cards introduced, some used to alter spots here and there, others from other genres of anime and video games. In my first story (if you still haven't figured it out, and for those new to my stories), I used the concept of Rockman EXE 4 and 5 for the portion of my Soul Unison cards. And then in this story, I again used Rockman EXE, but focused on the Cross Modes used in EXE 6 in conjunction of the fusions with Eye of Timaeus. In the next story, I will think of something to use, something fresh... if the year in this story's timeline is right... I can finally add Final Fantasy VII elements (not that I already had). I guess ALL OF YOU will just have to wait and see... gives me time to get better, AND think up some plot twists to include my crossover fusions, and also focus more on the Wizarding World and Voldemort after Grand Championship... still need to finish the original plot of the wrong BWL and Harry-killing-Voldemort scenario.
