Nicole: Someone loves me!

Yugi: Why was I put in this?

Author: Because I can, that's why! I'm the almighty Author! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Seto: She's high on chocolate again. (sighs)

Bakura: Well, you can at least put up a NC-17 fic for me on other sites.

Author: Maybe, after the holiday and when I put up chapters to my other fics and think about what to do with you.

Bakura: (taking out a long list) I want fudge, chains, leather, gags, caramel...(blahs)

Venessa and Ryou: (Staring at the list with wide eyes)

Yugi: (with chibi eyes) Could you please make me and Yami and Nicki one too?

Author: Like I said, after I'm done with my other stories.

Yugi: (too Kawaii) Arigatou!

Author: Sheesh, the guys in my LOEW fic aren't this bossy, or cute. Anyways, you voted and here's the results!

Tea: I will KILL YOU for this!

Author: Ya can't blame me. It's what the fans want. Besides, (holding a Tea voodoo doll next to a flame thrower) I would've let Nicole get a new armor set and let her fry your ass!

Nicole: I WANNA NEW ARMOR!
Author: You got it!

Nicole: Yay!

Author: On another note, the events of MMX5 and MMX6 never took place in my fics, so I can use the characters from those games anyway I want. Happy ending for everyone!

Part 3

"Nicki?"

"Hm," Nicole looked down at Yugi's wide eyes, eyes that she can't help but get lost into.

"Why do you and Yami love me," he asked, wanting to ask this ever since Tea told him he hated her.

"That's a stupid question," Nicole giggled, "We just do."

"But why?"

" 'Cause you're so kawaii."

"Why?"

" 'Cause you look like a cherub hiding his wings."

"Why?"

'If he's feeling better to joke around, then he's gotta be getting better,' Nicole thought, smiling as they played their game. " 'Cause you got huge eyes that are full of innocence."

"Why?" Yugi giggled.

BAM!

The two yelped and Nicole hugged Yugi closer, trying to hide his body within hers. She looks down to see a body sprawled in the snow, Tea, gawking at it.

"Yam," Yugi tried to scream, but Nicole covers his mouth.

"That's not Yami," she states.

"How do you know?"

" 'Cause humans don't bleed purplish-red blood."

* * * *

Tea looks down at what appeared to be Yami with a hole in his stomach, but it appeared that 'Yami' was taller, the purplish-red blood staining the snow in small streams. The body then shifted and lying in the snow now was a tall reploid wearing orange and purple armor, horns sticking out of his helmet and was glaring at Tea with intense, red eyes.

"Who the fuck are you," the insane girl screeched.

"Double," the reploid grunted, trying to get to his feet, "as in doppelganger. I heard that Omega was out here somewhere and I was trying to trick her and kill her."

"No way, shithead," Tea obviously had no idea who she was talking to, "She's mine!"

"Whatever," Double activated his self-recovery systems to stop the blood flow, "Are you high or something?"

"In a sense," was the only answer and Tea shot him in the head, through his control chip and ending his life. Double fell to the ground in a bloody mess while the brown-hair bitch cackled with glee.

* * * *

"What'll we do," Yugi was on the verge of tears now, scared for the life of his friends and love ones.

"Stay here," Nicole replied, shifting so Yugi was sitting on the warm spot of the branch she was sitting in a minute ago. Chanting a spell, her sword appeared as well as a aeon with fiery (literally; Don't own FFX aeons either) red hair and black claw-like hands, his head protected by four giant horns and was wearing a beaded/feathered necklace.

"Ifrit will keep you warm and safe," she insured, "Stay here and I will drive her off."

With that, Nicole landed on the ground getting Tea's attention. Flicking the bitch off, Nicole dashed towards the lake, Tea on her heels and reloading her gun.

* * * *

Zero had finally convinced Dr. Cain, who was staying at Hunter Headquarters for the night, to send several Land Chasers via warp and he, along with Iris, Sugoroku, the Gardeners, and Mr. Wheeler arrive at his house, only to see Forte and Rock talking with the police.

"Where's Nicki," Zero demanded, getting off his bike, "Where's everyone?!"

"We were sending everyone home," Rock explained, "when this bitch from out of nowhere was attacking us! Forte stalled for time while those that were left fled into the woods, but we have no idea where they are."

"Who's left?"

"Yugi, Yami, Nicole, and Joey," Forte listed, "Zackery just left to find them, but we heard gunshots moments ago."

"This is all my fault," Mr. Gardener said shamefully, 'I shouldn't have told her where my gun was, I should've-"

"This ain't no one's fault but your daughter's own," Mr. Wheeler stated, "Let's just find our kids before they freeze to death in this weather."

* * * *

Nicole dashed until she had to recharge her dash boots, Tea amazingling on her heels, until she came across a clearing that had to be the lake. Jumping twice in the air as she reached the edge, Tea had no chance to stop as she skidded to a halt close to the middle of the thin ice.

Nicole flew over the lake, but knew she wasn't going to make it and activated her hover jets, an early present from Dr. Cain. She knew that they wouldn't hold her up forever, but hoped that they would last for as long as she needed it to.

The ice began to crack under Tea's feet and, within minutes, shattered, dumping her in the frozen water. Tea screeched as she was thrown in, her gun thrown out her hands.

* * * *

Yami and Joey rushed to the scene when they heard ice cracking and Yami looked up in time to catch the gun.

Which went off as it landed in his freezing palms.

The bullet hit Tea in the shoulder as she fell in as she turned in the water and nearly fainted to see that it was Yami that shot her. Joey and Yami just stared, not believing what happened. Then Yami snapped out of it and dumped the gun into the snow, glaring at Tea. She deserved this, more than anything. He thought it would be nice to send her into the Shadow Realm, or have Nicole use her Mind Destruction on her, but this will have to do.

Nicole couldn't believe it either, but they really didn't have much of a choice. Tea was too strong for her own reploid strength alone and it was an accident that the gun went off. She really didn't have that much to dwell on it; her hover jets were running out of fuel and she tried to maneuver to the edge of the lake, where the water was shallow enough for her to walk out.

Just as she was passing the middle, Tea grabbed her foot and pulled her under, both girls now flaring in the water.

"NICOLE," Yami screamed, being held back by Joey as he tried to run over there.

"Don't do it Yami," Joey tried to reason with him, "She'll drag you under with them!"

Yami gave up as the two just stare at the girls floundering in the water, unable to do anything.

* * * *

'It's at times like these I'm glad I'm a reploid,' Nicole thought as she was pushed under again. Reploids have no need for oxygen like humans, so underwater battles were that much easier, even when exhausted and panting. However, the freezing cold of the water was biting through her armor and Nicole knew if she didn't get out and dried, her circuits were going to freeze up.

As she broke the surface and tries to take a breath to cool her overheated systems, Tea slams her body onto hers again, knock both back under again. Water rushes to Nicole's metallic lungs, but her systems went to work right away to make use of it.

'I can't keep this up much longer,' she thought, the cold getting to her neural nets and causing her head to ache badly.

Just as things seemed hopeless, a light shot out from under her breastplate.

* * * *

"There they are," a police officer shouted and several others, including Zero, ran to the group of boys by the lakeside, "but where are the other two?"

A small noise caught their attention and the saw Yugi running up to them. Yami takes his aibou in his arms, fearful of telling him what has happened.

"Where's Nicki," the tri-color hikari was almost in tears. After Ifrit disappeared, he was very worried and came rushing over to the lake, following Nicole's footprints in the snow.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared from the water, white as the snow itself. The ice cracked and broke as white, metallic wings broke through the surface, a white and drenched Nicole trying to fly out of the water, holding Tea by her jacket. The white reploid lands on the ground next to everyone, exhausted beyond belief.

Zero picks up his daughter and notices her armor was now white, with blue and silver trim and had large wings upon her backside. Her breastplate had a heart-shape sapphire in the center top and there were more spikes on her helmet now, making the horns look like wings.

The paramedics rushed over and placed the barely-shivering Tea onto a stretcher, connecting her to this and that. The brown-hair girl looked at Yami and Yugi, who was huddled over their sleeping reploid, and almost cried. Her dream of having Yami to herself was shattered, her revenge unfulfilled.

* * * *

The waiting room at the hospital was empty except for the parents of those that were rushed in. There was barely any staff around, as it was Christmas Eve, now Christmas Day, and everyone was worried sick. Joey had protested, as well as Yami, to be checked out by the doctor, but Sugoroku and Mr. Wheeler would have none of it.

The minutes ticked by as if they were hours. Mr. Wheeler had called Seto Kaiba to informed him of what happened (considering he knew of his son's relationship to the young billionair) as well as his ex-wife and daughter. He, along with his brother, Serenity, and Mrs. Wheeler had came to check up on them. Everyone told their side of the story to the police and Tea now faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon, murder, and attempted murder.

"Everyone," Gate, Nicole's doctor and just about the only one left pulling an overnight shift, said as he walked up to them, "I'll go by worst injuries to least. Double is dead, the shot to his head destroyed his control chip. If there is a backup of it anywhere, I do not know of it.

"Tea has sever blood loss from the shot to her shoulder, suffering from extreme hypothermia and frostbite to her finger and toes, and is now suffering from steriod poisoning and drug overdose. Had she been here sooner, we could've catch it, but it's gone too far through her systems. She won't make it through the night."

Mr. and Mrs. Gardener bowed their heads, Mrs. Gardener bursting into tears.

"It's not hospital policy," Gate continued, showing sympathy to them, "but I can let you stay with her until the end. There isn't much we can do but make her comfortable."

Tea's parents thank him and were led by a nurse to Tea's room.

"As for the rest of you," Gate sighed, "Nicole has a slight case of hypothermia and was put on an antibiotic to keep her from getting sick. As for how she obtained her new armor, we found a small microchip that was implanted in the sapphire of her necklace. How it got there, you may wanna ask the person she got it from.

"Yugi has also been put on antibiotics to fight of his cold and make sure he doesn't get pneumonia. He should be all better by morning. The same goes for both Joey and Yami."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the news.

"I would like to keep them here for observation," Gate continued, "but-"

"MATTE! IIE! DON'T GO IN THERE!"

Everyone looked up to the voice and a few minutes later see another reploid doctor, with red eyes and a white hair roll on top of his head, along with a smaller one on his chin. He seemed to be yelling at someone, or someones and didn't look happy at all one bit.

"What's the matter," Gate asked.

"Those brats left their rooms and are in the faculty lounge," Isoc growled, "They've taken it over as well as my office and I think that Wheeler kid drank all the egg nog!"

"You didn't spike it, did you," Gate's violet eyes narrowed.

"I didn't get the chance to do that," Isoc stated, "He and the rest of them ate almost all of the food and as I left to find you, they were going through the porno tapes we had rented for-oops."

"WHAT," Iris nearly screeched, jumping out of her seat and marching to the elevator, "I'm not letting a bunch of perverted doctors corrupt my baby girl!"

"She's sixteen years old," Zero muttered, "Let her live a little."

Iris turned a heated glare at the three males, who shrank at the look.

* * * *

Yugi stirred from his sleep and opened his eyes slowly, adjusting them to the sunlight peeping from his window. He felt strong arms pull him tighter to the lean, muscular chest of his yami and he couldn't help but snuggled up to him.

It was Nicole's idea to enter the faculty lounge last night, as it were due to the fact that Joey, and just about the rest of them, were hungry. Iris came in as they were sorting through the porno to make fun of Nicole's most hated doctor and dragged them by their ears to the lobby to head home. Seto and Mokuba decided to stay the night at the Wheeler's home and, since Mokuba was barely awake at the time, took their presents there as well.

Yugi moaned as Yami rubbed his back, tracing patterns upon it, but the hikari had to get up, considering it was Christmas and nature was calling.

"Yami," he moaned.

Yami moaned.

"I gotta get up."

"No you don't," Yami pulled him closer.

"It's Christmas. I wanna open presents."

That didn't work.

"Grampa will be mad."

Still wasn't working.

"I gotta use the bathroom."

That did it.

Yami groaned as he let go of his light and Yugi scurried off out of the room.

WHEELER'S RESIDENCE

Joey groaned as he was pulled closer to his koi. Since there were only three other guest rooms, Seto decided to sleep in Joey's bed. He couldn't care less that it was morning; he already had his Christmas present with him right now. Laying soft kisses upon the blond's back, he snuggled under the covers as both cuddled with one another.

Suddenly, the door was harshly opened and a cheerful Mokuba was jumping up and down in the doorframe.

"IT'S CHRISTMAS," the young Kaiba squealed, jumping on the bed and unsuspecting two teens.

"Mokuba," Joey cried.

"Get off of us," Seto cried out as his brother landed on his back.

CLICK!

The three looked up to see Serenity with a camera and the teens finally noticed that they were only in their boxers.

"This will be great blackmail," she grinned.

OMEGA'S RESIDENCE

Nicole sneezed as she tear opened present after present, drinking a glass of orange juice as she giggled, squealed, and thanked her parents over and over again. Zackery was still in bed, snoring away, as he had already opened his presents and wanted to get more sleep. Rock was over at his brother's house to spend Christmas with the Lights and forte was helping Zero cook Christmas dinner.

"You're going to burn it," Forte stated.

"Am not!"

"Are too."

"Am not!"

"They'll never get along," Iris sighed, crocheting another blanket.

HOSPITAL

Her parents were sleeping next to her bed, still not believing that their own daughter did what she did last night. She had finally went into a coma-like state as she neared the end of her life, several thoughts ringing in her head.

Yami shot her.

Yami didn't love her.

Yami wasn't here with her.

Yami would never be with her.

Yami... ...hated her.

Then the heart monitor beeped one long beep, signaling the end of her life.

Yami: Ya! I killed her!

Bakura: You just shot her, not killed her!
Yami: But my actions tortured her to death!

Bakura: Whatever.

Author: That's it! Sorry for making it short, but if anyone wants a worser ending for our beloved *cough*bitch*cough* Tea, just ask and I will type it!

Yugi: Will there be an epilogue?

Author: Maybe later. I gotta get ready to visit my folks, so there will be no more updates for awhile.

Yugi: Oh. Okay.
