Watching Yugioh Season Four with my husband and we got to the point where Pegasus explains that the Legendary Knights were turned into dragons by Dartz to "make them weaker" and my husband lowkey lost it

Him: "I'm sorry, turning them into dragons made them weaker?! That's fucking terrifying! Who the hell were these guys?!"

Honestly, super valid point. If turning you into a dragon makes you weaker, you must have been a giga-chad to start with.

Wish of Final Effort: part 1

A great darkness begins to engulf the entire Earth, that band of shadow widening until the stars disappear. Far away from the battle, Duke and Rebecca watch anxiously as lightning flashes against that pitch black sky.

And under the ocean, the Great Leviathan roars.

"Do you hear it?" Dartz asks as the temple and the island it sits on shake. "With Seto's sacrifice, my god is almost ready."

"tell your dumb lizard to spit out my brother, you genocidal freak!!!" Mokuba snaps from his place beside his fallen brother, tears raining freely from his stormy grey eyes. "kill him, Yugi!!!!!"

Dartz rolls his mismatched eyes. "I think we've heard enough from the peanut gallery." As he speaks, an eye appears in the Seal behind him. The Seal pulsates, sending a shockwave of energy rippling through the room that knocks the spectators back, off their feet and to the floor.

Somehow, Mokuba manages to crawl back to his brother before he collapses, unconscious beside his lifeless form, one hand clinging to Seto's arm.

"There! No more distractions," Dartz laughs.

The Other Yugi gasps as he glances behind himself at his friends, crumpled on the floor beside each other. "What did you do to them?!" he demands. His hands shake.

"Don't worry, they're only sleeping. My god has no appetite for their weak and pathetic souls." Dartz's aloof demeanor changes, back to that bloodlust he radiated before, as he fixes his blue and gold eyes on his opponent. "Now it's only you and me, Nameless Pharaoh. Some quality time."

Other Yugi growls as he tears his focus away from his unconscious friends and back to the battle at hand.

Yugi and Joey stare back at him from their Mirror Knight forms, their eyes blank. Still, the Other Yugi can feel something in them, feel his Partner pleading silently with him to head the few words he had managed to utter against Dartz's control.

The Other Yugi takes a deep breath.

Thanks to Kaiba's Wish of Final Effort, he has a second chance, and 4300 Lifepoints. But across the field, Dartz is protected by an unbeatable serpent, the legendary Geh with infinite attack points.

He draws for his turn, plays Pot of Greed to draw two more cards. The first is Obnoxious Celtic Guardian, a familiar and well played monster. But the second makes his eyes widen. The nameless card given to him by the Dark Magician Girl the night he had freed Timaeus! Except now, it isn't blank. Now, the image of three knights, swords raised and crossed, appears to him clear as day, along with the name: Legend of Heart.

He can feel its power radiate inside his heart. His eyes meet his Partner's across the field, he swears he sees Yugi smile and he knows.

This is the card that will save the world.

He summons his Celtic Guardian, just to tribute the elf, as well as 1000 of his Lifepoints, to activate this new card's effect. All three legendary dragons, Timaeus, Critias, and Hermos, appear on the field at once. They let out a mighty roar as they all leap into the air, flying up, up, up into the shadows of the temple's high ceiling, until a burst of bright, white light blinds the Duelists far below.

"After ten millennia in captivity, our time has finally come again, Dartz!" booms a voice that echoes through the chamber.

When the Other Yugi's vision returns, he finds three knights, the spitting image of himself, Joey, and Kaiba, on his side of the field where the dragons had stood seconds before.

The knights stare Dartz down with 10,000 years of resentment in their eyes as they face their enemy. Each knight announces his name, Sir Timaeus, Sir Hermos, Sir Critias, and they raise their swords, crossing them overhead as the art on the card the Pharaoh had played.

"In the name of Atlantis, we have been reborn to defeat you," they announce as one. Their swords strike the ground, and the three layers of Dartz's Seal of Orichalcos are destroyed.

But despite that, Dartz still laughs. "How good to see you all again. But that's some confidence you've got! Have you forgotten our last battle?"

Timaeus raises his free hand to touch his right eye, scarred over. "How could I forget? We have a score to settle, here and now."

Dartz hardly seems shaken by the knight's threats.

But the Other Yugi hesitates. Even if these knights have some effect that can destroy the immortal Geh, those two mirror knights, wearing the souls of his Partner and best friend, stand in the way. Kaiba had destroyed Mai and Rex without hesitation. But how can the Pharaoh attack the people most precious to him...?

His eyes meet Yugi's across the field again and the seconds tick by.

The knight Timaeus looks back at the Duelist who summoned him. His perplexed expression softens as he realizes what's holding the Other Yugi back. "It's okay," he assures his Duelist. "Attacking the mirror knights won't hurt them. You'll only break the spell he holds over your friends' souls."

The Other Yugi searches Timaeus's single blue eye for the truth. Finally, he nods in understanding. His chest hurts, but he orders his knights to attack the ones that shield Dartz and his serpent.

Timaeus and Hermos ready their swords.

#ooc #I really wanted this to be just 1 part long but #then everything went wrong and I had to rewrite things #twice #and now it's longer!#and better in some ways #and #worse in other ways #part 2 will not be as long I prommy #but this felt like the right place to leave off for dramatic effect #ANYWAY #plot #arc: what the doma?!

Things I Have Discovered Researching YGO Fics

Yugi's purple eyes are genetically possible, but it's probably attached to a genetic mutation that can mess up your life. Also, some blue eyes, under the right condition, can appear purple.

I will not write a h/c fic. I will not write an h/c fic

Alexandria's Genesis is a myth that those with purple eyes are perfect beings that overly lap slightly with vampires. They have fair skin with no body hair, have perfect vision, never get sick, are perfectly proportioned, and seem to experience life in a sorta time freeze because they can live up to 150, don't produce any type of waste, and maintain the perfect weight. Further research shows its origins are actually fanfic from the early Aughts (surprise!) but the writer has shared her inspiration - an MTV show whose own worldbuilding (I think?) traces purple eyes to suddenly appearing spirits in Egypt. Where that came from, I do not know and I refuse to spend the dig time.

I will not give Yugi this condition. I will not give Yugi this condition.

Timaeus, Critias, and Hermos, the names of the Legendary Dragon (Knights) are the speakers in some of Plato's dialogues. While Hermos doesn't get his own self-titled dialogue, the other two do and they both mention Atlantis. Which I just find fascinating because this is proof that the show staff did do research for the DOMA arc, but still decided to link Atlantis with California.

I will not write a story about Egyptian Gods and Greek Gods having conflict during the Ptolmey era. Who am I kidding, that idea has been in my head for years thanks to Riodian's short stories that cross the Kane Chronicles and PJO. One day I'll write it. But it probably won't be fic.

Orichalcum is a metal mentioned by Plato in conjecture with Atlantis, so it wasn't completely made up. It was said to give off light by Critias, though red, and there have been guesses as to what the modern equivalent is - a copper alloy, a type of copper similar to fool's gold, or platinum. Platinum, it should be noted, is dangerous enough to have OSHA regulations.

Again, more research than I expected from the show. I will not write H/C about the impacts of too much platinum exposure featuring Mai.

can you believe im a goddamn SHAM and never posted about what happened to dardanos AFTER doma...

i did write a post about paradius and how dardanos’ luxury yacht was said to have been demolished in the storm and so dardanos was pronounced dead, but he Wasn’t, clearly.

for the time that dardanos was thought to be dead, paradius had to go through the struggle of “what do we do with company hierarchy”, and of course there were people who wanted to hold out hope that maybe by some miracle, dardanos had survived and was just on some island waiting to be found, so paradius’ board of directors agreed that they would not pick another CEO until a year had passed and if dardanos wasn’t back within 365 days, he was most certainly dead. to keep with that, while most of his vast fortune was distributed to charities ( as was written in his will, which existed and no one knew why, since he was only in his 30s ), enough was left for him to still live comfortably if he was, in fact, not dead.

and look at that, 8 months after the disaster of doma, dardanos eleazar was found, reportedly washed up on the shores of naxos. and from that, he had to go through the rather stressful legal process of being Not dead. he was interviewed about what had happened in the 8 months, and soon enough his miraculous return was a headline everywhere from tv to magazines.

dardanos’ story is that he did end up stranded, but he was not so far from civilization as he had thought. relying on his vast knowledge, he managed to construct a rather sturdy raft and survived by identifying which flora were safe to eat and which weren’t. he was, in fact, believably thinner than when he’d last been seen, so everyone bought the story. and it wasn’t entirely untrue. the difference is that dardanos is in fact immortal, so he didn’t have to worry so much about food, but he did find himself rather stranded and needed time to recover from the brutal fight gaea had put him through.

while stranded, dardanos was often in a trance, visiting the spirit world and talking to the legendary knights, at first mostly hermos, but in time, timaeus and critias.

the reason dardanos didn’t return to the spirit world is not because he’s banned, but because he chose not to return; at least not yet. for as chaotic as the planet is, dardanos wanted time to see the modern world with eyes unclouded from gaea’s hatred.

as most people didn’t know about doma, dardanos doesn’t have to deal with the scorn of others, although he does carry a deep guilt that he doesn’t talk about.

he continues his work as a philanthropist and keeps paradius as the powerhouse of a company that it is.

he builds a new deck with the help of the legendary knights, focusing on their power and his own. it’s the proof of his healing soul that they decide to stay by his side.

on that note, dardanos is often seen with three “new” close friends, and yeah, they’re timaeus, critias, and hermos.

shockingly, dardanos is rather shy without gaea’s influence, which makes for a stark contrast between the “real dardanos” and gaea. no one could mistake the two for each other, which helps when dardanos inevitably encounters people from his past as gaea’s host.

“Stop blaming Timaeus.”

Hermos leaned into the mare’s shoulder and sighed.

“He wanted to tell you and I convinced him not to. If you’re going to be angry at anyone, be angry at me.”

“Trust me, I never stopped being angry at you.”

Hermos turned to face the stall door. Critias was standing on the other side of it, arms at his sides, dressed rather simply. It wasn’t really his taste, especially as a former noble, but it flattered him well enough.

“Timaeus is still responsible for his decision, whether you influenced him or not.”

Wish of Final Effort: part 2

The Other Yugi doesn't let himself look away.

He makes himself watch as the mirror knight forms of his Partner and his best friend are cut down by their legendary counterparts. His eyes meet the hollow, empty stare of the mirrored Yugi.

And he swears he sees his Partner smile, before his form disintegrates in a pixelated cloud of glitter under the knight's sword. As the cards in his hand shake, a single tear slips down his cheek, drips off his chin, onto the Millennium Puzzle that hangs heavy around his neck.

But the Pharaoh rights himself. He grabs the chain of the Puzzle in his free hand and takes a deep breath. As Timaeus and Hermos return to his side, he narrows his eyes on his opponent and the immortal serpent

and ends his turn.

Dartz laughs again. Quiet at first, but slowly growing into a maniacal cachinnation.

"Is that it?" he asks. "You waited 10,000 years to delay your death by one turn?" He narrows his heterochromatic eyes at the Other Yugi with a venomous glare. It costs him 10 cards to order Geh to attack, but the sacrifice is nothing to Dartz.

This is the last turn, after all.

He orders the divine serpent Geh to attack, targeting the knight Timaeus.

But Critias looks over his shoulder, his familiar, intense stare boring into the Other Yugi's eyes. The Pharaoh nods, and the knight raises his sword.

The serpent lunges at its prey.

The Duelists are blinded by two flashes of dazzling white light in quick succession. The first, as a beam shoots from the knight's raised blade. It expands in an instant, taking form in a wide, arced wall of glittering light.

The second as the serpent Geh crashes into it.

It sounds as if a bomb goes off. The powerful shockwave ripples through the temple, knocking both Duelists off their feet and causing the ancient stone walls to shake and crack. As the dust clears, both Dartz and the Other Yugi push themselves to their knees to assesss the outcome.

The three legendary knights stand, tall, strong, and unharmed. The only sign left of the divine serpent Geh, with all its infinite attack points, is a glowing, teal hole in the fabric of reality itself.

For a moment, time stands still, and neither Duelists dares to breathe.

"How..." Dartz gawks.

"The only thing that can destroy infinity, is itself. Your serpent hit a wall and ate its own tail," Critias explains flatly.

"Critias's effect lets him use the power of one trap in my graveyard, and I chose Mirror Force," the Other Yugi explains. "And since you bet all of your Lifepoints on that snake... You lose, Dartz."

Dartz takes a step back as sweat drips down his back. He stares into the glowing rift with wide eyes. "You don't understand--!" he gasps, somewhere between exasperation and frustration. "It's too late! My god only needed one more powerful soul. The Leviathan will still--!!"

It happens in just a blink of an eye.

Dartz is cut off mid sentence as a massive serpent, far bigger than the divine Geh, strikes from the rift in reality. Its mighty jaws close around its loyal servant, and the beast disappears.

The Other Yugi holds his breath. And the seconds tick by.

Finally, the guards relax their stances, first Timaeus, then Hermos and Critias. As they turn to the Pharaoh, he can finally let himself breathe.

"Is it over...?" he asks the knights.

As if on cue, the ocean floor trembles far below the island temple, nearly knocking him off his feet once again. He catches himself, looks up just to see Timaeus shake his head.

"I'm afraid not.... Dartz is defeated, but the Leviathan still rises," the knight explains. "And we can no longer help you from here on. However..."

He looks to the compatriots at his sides, and they both nod. All three lift a hand toward the rift, and in unison, they order the souls of the Chosen Duelists to return to this world.

The Other Yugi's eyes go wide.

Are they really--

He watches in wonder as three golden orbs float from the rift. They seem to struggle at first, as if being pulled back by the teal light that radiates beyond reality, but once free, they drift and bob like bubbles on the wind. One floats past him to sink into Seto Kaiba's chest, another rises and dances its way into a wall that it easily passes through.

The third slowly bobs over to the Other Yugi, where it comes to rest in his hands. It's an odd sensation, holding a soul in his hands. Weightless, without any tangible surface, and yet a definite form in his palms. The golden light it emanates is soft and comforting, warm and familiar.

Like holding sunlight.

The Pharaoh takes a deep, deep breath, failing to hold back his tears as he brings his arms around the light, hugging it into his chest with a smile.

"Welcome home, Partner."

ROUND 1A, MATCH 12 OUT OF 16

Monster Stats & Propaganda Under the Cut:

The Eye of Timaeus is used by Yugi Mutou/Yami Yugi. Though this is technically a spell card, it was used in a way more similar to a monster card hence why it is included. The real reason why it is included is because Mod didn't realize it wasn't a monster until I already made a bracket listing.

Propaganda:

[None Submitted]

Timaeus the Knight of Destiny is used by Yami Yugi. Its stats are the following:

Attribute: LIGHT

Level: 10

Type: WARRIOR / FUSION / EFFECT

Effect Type: SUMMONING CONDITION / CONTINUOUS / QUICK / TRIGGER

Effect (according to the anime): "Legendary Knight Critias"+ "Legendary Knight Hermos" + "Legendary Knight Timaeus"

"This card cannot be Special Summoned except from your Fusion Deck by having "Legendary Knight Timaeus" absorb "Legendary Knight Critias" and "Legendary Knight Hermos". This card's ATK is equal to the combined ATK of the absorbed monsters. When this card is destroyed by battle, Special Summon 3 "Legendary Knight" monsters from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard, ignoring their Summoning conditions."

ATK: / DEF: ? / ?

Propaganda:

The combined form of the Legendary Knights once made human again from their legendary dragon forms. Also Timaeus has Yugi's face and then Critias and Hermos sorta swapped faces of Kaiba and Joey.
