A/N: I got the decks for the duels from lists by the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki.

Chapter 6

"Let me guess, you two used the kids as bait to lure us out. Am I correct?", Marik asked.

"That and my four-year-old daughter, Amalia, wanted a 'playmate'," Malik answered.

"Nani? You've got a daughter. No way?"

"By my thirteen-year-old little sex kitten, Aurora, of course."

"Thirteen! You're more evil than I thought!"

"Enough talk! Let's get this duel started, shall we?"

Duel #2: Marik LP—4000 vs. Malik LP—4000

"I'm first!", Marik called. "Draw! I'll play one card in defense mode and one card face down." He played Mystic Tomato (ATK 1400/DEF 1100) in defense mode and laid Ring of Destruction face down.

"Mwa, ha, ha! My turn!", Malik said. "Draw! I'll summon Vorse Raider (ATK 1900/DEF 1200), then sacrifice him for Helpoemer (ATK 2000/DEF 1400). Finally, I will place one card face down."

"Ha! Ring of Destruction took out Helpoemer and 2000 of your LP!"

"You've activated Helpoemer's effect, and now you have to send one of your cards to the graveyard each turn! Mwa, ha, ha!"

Marik LP—4000 vs. Malik LP—2000

"My turn! Draw! First I'll summon Gemini Elves (ATK 1900/DEF 900) and sacrifice them and place my Millennium Golem (ATK 2000/DEF 2200) in attack mode. Millennium Golem attack him directly with Millennium Rock Crush. Oh yeah! Since Millennium Golem has 2000 attack points that makes you the loser in this duel."

Marik LP—4000 vs. Malik LP—0

"Nooo! At least I have a Shadow Stone and can get you for this, and you won't know when or where."

Meanwhile, Yugi was only on the first rung of a huge ladder and trying to find a way to climb to the top of it.

"OK, one rung down, I don't know how many to go. Maybe if I looked around there will be another ladder to help me climb this one," he thought.

He looked around and saw another ladder on the wall next to him. Its rungs were halfway between the rungs on the first ladder, making it hard to climb on its own. He took one of his hands off of the first ladder and reached for the rung on the second ladder. He swung his whole body towards the ladder and made it to the rung on it.

"Phew...make that two rungs, and a lot more to go. Maybe if I go from one ladder to the other and back I will make it to the top."

Back and forth from one ladder to the other he went until he finally made it to the top and the elevator.

"Now to save the boys on the main floor of the tower."

"Hi, I'm Amalia, wanna play?", said a little girl dressed in a frilly pink and white dress.

"Can you get us down from here?", Ripley asked.

"Only if you two promise to play with me."

"OK, we'll play with you."

"Goody! I'll go get the keys and have you down soon."

She got them down and led the boys down the hall to what looked like a torture chamber.

"Th-This is your 'playroom'!", Izzy exclaimed.

"Yeah!", she responded strapping Izzy to a stretching board and turning the crank.

"Aaah!", he screamed. He started to cry and wiggled, trying to get free.

"I just love to hear people scream!", she said.

As soon as she had locked the crank in place, she took Ripley to her bedroom and locked the door.

"You and I will play in here," she told him.

She got undressed and then took off his clothes.

"Get in bed with me."

She then proceeded to "play" with him.

"Mal-Mal, I lost!", Aurora whined.

"Shut up, you little whinebag!", Malik told her. "If it makes you feel any better I lost, too."

"Hey, I know what will make us feel better."

"What, my beating Marik to a pulp for beating me the way he did?"

"How did he beat you, Mal-Mal?"

"Quit calling me that."

"Awww...come on, how did he win?"

"In two turns. Two turns!"

"Ouch! That had to have hurt."

They reached the main room of the tower.

"Seems Amalia must have found her playmates."

Aurora looked at the monitors.

"Oh...here comes the guy that beat you and some of his friends."

Marik made it to the main floor of Shadow Tower and met up with Bakura.

"I still can't believe it only took me two turns to beat Malik."

"Please, you only beat him like that because you got lucky."

"Luck had nothing to do with it. The online game is one of my favorite things to play on the computer."

"OK, you heard about my duel. What did you have to do to get here?"

"Sing," Bakura muttered under his breath.

"Huh?"

"I said that I had to sing karaoke, damn it!"

"Wow! And I know how much you hate singing. So what kind of music was it?"

"80's music," Bakura muttered under his breath.

"80's, huh? That must have been pretty humiliating."

"It was. I felt like an idiot the entire time."

"Hey, look it's my sister! What do you think is the matter with her?"

"Maybe she's focused on finding the kids, and is mad at Malik for taking them."

"I know I'm mad about it and angry that Setoni humiliated me like that."

Marik's sister, Ishizu was stalking down the hall following her duel with Aurora.

"What in the name of the Gods is a thirteen-year-old doing with Malik? That is pure pedophilia. He really is sick in the head. Ugh! And on top of everything else they have had a child together. Malik, you are one sick freak!" she thought.

Ishizu took a deep breath. "OK, Ishizu, calm yourself. You now need to focus on finding the boys."
