KITG: well here you all go, the last chapter to Future Lost. Hope you have all enjoyed it. Pirate King will be finished Next as Liz is going mad over it hehehe. So here we go.

Chapter 11

He moved forward not caring about the tears that flowed down his face, or for the writhing fury that was now the uncontrolled Dark tide. It screamed and rolled back and forth. The last remains of life in the mountain had walked into the light. Seto leading them. For they knew now there was now no escape if it wasn't stopped here.

But Atemu saw none of this; all he saw was the form of his love broken on the ground. He stepped closer; he did not demean himself by calling Yugi's name, for he knew it would be no use. Placing the now dimly glowing orb on the ground. He cradled Yugi to him

"Forgive me Koi. For all the power, for all my title I could not save you. I am not worthy of the light you gave me Hikari" but no reply was given. Others looked on, hugging their loved ones. The end was inevitable it seemed now. The dark Tide pulsing and calling for them to give up, to lie down and die.

"Who calls us from our slumber?" the unearthly voice echoed from the orb. Atemu looked to it.

"Who's there? Show yourself" Atemu looked round.

"Who calls the protectors of Ra?" the voice called again

"I call you, Atemu son of Ra" Atemu called out. The orb began to brighten as cracks appeared in it then with a blinding flash that made the Dark tide scream in pain. There before him standing, looking down at him was the Winged Dragon Of Ra. Atemu bowed his head before the God. The Winged Dragon bowed his great head so his nostrils were level with the form of Yugi. He sniffed gently and crooned.

"The Light has been extinguished! Ra's Angel has been taken. Who dares!" The Winged Dragon's eyes turned red as he looked to Atemu.

"Oh Dragon of Ra. It was that" Atemu pointed to the Dark Tide "It took Yugi's life and Soul. Killed so many of Ra's children so that only us few remain. We must defeat it."

"This is an old enemy from the days that Lord Ra walked this earth. Apophis wanting the Power of Ra created the Dark Tide to smother Ra as he crossed the sky. This would cause the sun to stop being reborn. Ra could not defeat it, for it had been made from a part of his self as well as a part of Apophis. So he sealed it under the gateway to the afterlife. It seems to have been awakened. We tried to help the light when he summoned us, but we were still connected to you. This Orb was meant for him. To be able to use us fully."

"Then what can we do? Is there no Hope Winged Dragon?" Atemu asked desperately, looking to the forms of the living, then to the dead form of his love

"There is always hope son of Ra. Your Light has shown that. For his sacrifice is not in vain. His Soul may not have gone as far as you fear. But now is not the time. BROTHERS ARISE!" the orb flashed twice more at the Winged dragons call. Blue and red, merging then separating. They became the form of Obelisk the Tormentor. And Slypher the Sky Dragon. Both Growled in acknowledgment. The winged Dragon of Ra. Beings Ra's personal protector was the only one given the ability to speak. They bowed before Atemu and both crooned/growled softly at Yugi. But of course no reply came. As one the three gods looked to the Dark tide, it had recovered and formed as one like some giant snake. Showing now it's link to Apophis, all gods called their voice to the creature before them. The Winged Dragon took to the air, Slypher joining him. Obelisk took steps towards the Tide. It snapped forward like a viper striking out at Obelisk. The god was knocked back howling its rage Obelisk hit back, but only succeeded in getting his hand to pass through the dark sludge. Slypher came down and tried to coil round the dark tide, but the result was the same as obelisk. Slypher cried in fury and frustration, unable to hurt the thing before it. Slypher was hit on the side of his face and brought down to the ground with a roar of pain.

Atemu by this time had carried Yugi's body over to the others, coming to rest by Seto and Joey.

"Oh Yug, why do it always have to be you" Joey moaned, kneeling beside Atemu and Yugi, Seto placed his hand on Joeys shoulder to try and comfort him. All looked up at the flash of light from the Winged Dragon. It burned its fiery breath at the creature, it cried out in pain. A cry went up from the survivors. It looked as though the Winged Dragon would destroy the Dark Tide, but he was not strong enough. The Dark Tide whipped out a tendril and pinned the Winged Dragon to the ground. Slypher and Obelisk tried to help their brother but they too met the same fate.

"NO!" Seto cried, calling the ultimate Blue-Eyes White Dragon. But it too became ensnared. The Dark Magician and the Magician of Black Chaos came forward. But it was useless.

"We are doomed" Atemu looked to see it was Anzu that had talked. It seemed she spoke true.

The Winged Dragon trilled to the Sky, asking for it's masters help. And he was answered. A shaft of pure light touched the ground before the Winged Dragon and Atemu. The people shielded their eyes from its intensity. As the light dimmed Atemu moved his hand from his face, and there before him stood the form of Yugi.

"Yugi?" he asked shocked, he could see straight through the form of his love, it reminded him of when he was in the puzzle and would appear before Yugi.

"Yes my Koi, but I have to help the Winged Dragon. Whatever happens know that I will always love you" with that Yugi turned from his Love and walked towards the Dark tide and to where the Winged Dragon was being held. He bowed before the great god then placed his hand on the jewel in the center of the dragon head. There was a flash, and then the most surprising; a crystal like tear fell from the Winged dragon's eye. Then with a deafening roar and whoosh of warm air the Winged dragon was free, but it was now in its most powerful form, it had become the phoenix. It wasn't in its normal orange glow; this was pure white heat like the sun. The winged Dragon pulsed freeing all the other monsters. Then it trilled to his brothers. Obelisk turned to a blue ribbon and entered the jewel of Ra. Then Slypher also joined his two brothers. The winged Dragon became a blinding light; it was so bright it seemed to pass through your hand. But it did not burn those true to Ra. Instead it filled them with hope for the future. Ra would never abandon his children.

The Dark Tide screamed as the light cut through it. It tried to smother the light, but is was seared before it could even touch the Winged Dragon of Ra. It tried to escape, but everywhere it went the Winged Dragon waited to greet it. Soon the Dark Tide had nowhere to run, it bubbled and boiled. Then with a final cry it became dust on the wind. Because in the end, everything dies.

The ribbon of red and blue came out of Ra as he returned to his normal form to land before the people. It then threw its head back and trilled to the sky. The clouds began to spin and then dissipate, revealing the clear blue sky for the first time in years. The people cheered and danced. They were finally free. But three did not move as the looked to the corpse of their friend.

"Thanks Yug. It won't be the same without you" Joey began to cry, leaning on Seto. Atemu almost smiled at the sight. Almost.

"Oh my Koi. What now? Where do we turn? What do we do? Without your light where do we find our hope?"

"You have always had hope son of Ra. But Ra needs his Angel on this plane at this time. So never fear. A gift from your father until you return to him" The Winged Dragon lowered his great head to the body, then breathed on the form, causing Yugi's hair to move gently from his breath. Then light began to surround the body as it left the floor, sunlight blazed down until finally the body came to rest it was upright and living

"Hello my Pharaoh. My Koi"

"Hikari!" Atemu shouted running to Yugi.

"Yug, Yugi" Joey and Seto called as they ran also to him. Atemu clung Yugi in a fierce embrace, blazing passion filled kisses roving over lips and necks. They were together, and that was all that mattered the kiss broke leaving both breathless, Yugi smiled his old smile that shamed the sun he then turned to the three Gods.

"Thank you my friends. I am grateful"

"Your are welcome Angel of Ra. We will come if needed again. And will guide both of you to the afterlife when the time comes" The winged Dragon gave one final bow then turned into a ribbon of gold. Slypher and Obelisk did the same, bowing then becoming a red ribbon then a Blue one. Finally all three shot to the blazing sun.

Epilogue

The light of Ra shone down on the lush landscape. The ruins of the base and city now covered with life. In the center was a golden shrine to the dead. This was now a ghost town. The sound of children playing reached your ears as you looked upon the scene. There in a clearing was a band of children, laughing gleefully in the Suns rays. In the distance houses could be seen, smoke rising from chimneys. Sheep and cows eating in the lush green fields. Places like this are mirrored around the world, the last remains of humanity rebuilding bit by bit what they knew. It was not a nuclear bomb, or viral threat that pushed them so close to the underworld. But an enemy so old, beyond time, a remains of a battle between Gods.

Now into the clearing came an old woman, leaning heavily on a stick.

"Grandma, tell us, did they live happily ever after?" one small child asked pulling on the old women's wrinkled hand.

"Who little one?"

"Yugi and Atemu of-course"

"Yes dear one, they built us our fine town. They lived many years. And were very happy together" The old women sat on a bench, sighing heavily as he old bones creaked

"My dad says it's all a lie. That it never happened" the voice of the arrogant boy. Seeking answers, believing his father a god more than any other.

"Does he now, he's from another village. His father nor he was here when we were saved." The old woman looked to the boy kindly

"It's a lie."

"If that is so young one, then the statue of the Gods will not exist right? Then walk behind the obelisk of the dead. And tell me what you find. Go on all of you." The old one shooed them away. They walked 3 and 1 past the remembrance to the dead, past the sapphire fountain. To an old street. It was said once a game store stood here, but no longer. There instead was a huge statue of the Winged Dragon of Ra, Slypher the sky dragon and obelisk the tormentor. And in the center, smiling arm around each other was Atemu and Yugi. The children ran off, the point proved, not bothering to read the small words below.

"Son of Ra together forever with the Angel of Ra by his side"
