Yugioh belongs to Kazuki Takahashi.
"Brother, wait!" Mahad calls out to Marc who is in his car the next morning. He lowers down his window to hear what is brother is going to say. "What are you planning to do?"
"That is none of your concern," he replies, twisting the key in the slot so that the car will come on.
"It's foolish to face Bruce alone. Who knows what he might do."
"I am almost certain that he has no duel disk. But if I don't come back, you will have to take the responsibility of taking care of yourself and Mana." He turns to the front of the car, placing his hands on the wheel and Mahad's eyes widen.
"You can't go through with this."
"I must. There's no way I'm forgiving Bruce for what he did. He must pay," and with that he drives off and Mahad takes a couple of steps after the car but stops, knowing that he will not be able to catch up with him. He senses that his brother is in great danger.
'I need help. But from who?'
Atem, Tea and Yugi walk into Mana's room. She is sitting up in bed, looking out the window. She looks distant and hasn't even noticed that they have come into her room.
"Hey Mana," Tea greets and she turns her head, a look of surprise on her face before she smiles at her.
"Tea, you guys, what are you doing here?"
"We wanted to wish you good luck on your surgery," Yugi replies sitting on her bed and Mana blushes, not used to having all this attention.
She puts her good arm behind her head and she smiles. "Aw, thanks you guys." She smiles, loving the feeling of having friends who care about her and would support her. "To tell you the truth, I am really nervous."
"You'll be fine," Atem assures her and her smile becomes even brighter. A nurse comes in, walking up to Mana's bed.
"It's time Mana," she says and Mana's smile turns into a frown and she sighs.
"…Alright."
"We'll see you when you get out," says Yugi, standing up. Mana only nods, for she is feeling extremely nervous. She has heard of many bad things happening during surgeries. They could leave you different from the way you came in or worse. She takes a deep breath. It is only surgery on her shoulder.
She gives a nervous smile to them all as the nurse with the help of some other doctors, wheel her out and take her to the room where she is to have surgery. She looks to one of the doctors who are walking on the side of her bed.
"Um…is this gonna…hurt?" she asks as they go through the double doors and place her where she is supposed to be for the surgery. The doctor puts on his gloves and protective mask.
"Don't worry. You won't even feel a thing." He puts a plastic like mask over her nose and mouth.
"W-What's this?" Mana asks drowsily. She looks at the doctor who is starting to become blurry in her eyes.
"Just relax." The last thing she sees is the doctor waving at her before her eyes close.

"You're not gonna win!" Yugi exclaims, tapping on the buttons of the game controller. He and his brother are playing a video game at home and currently, Yugi is in the league. Their grandfather walks in and shakes his head.
"Aren't you two a little too old for playing such childish things?" he asks but he gets no answer. They are too much into their game. He sighs before leaving out the living room. 'I guess that was pretty much a dumb question.'
"I'm winning!" Yugi yells.
"Not for long," Atem says, looking calm and suddenly he takes the league, causing Yugi to throw the remote at the television and it bounces off, landing on the floor.
"Darn it! You always do that!"
"Do what?"
"You make it seem that I'm winning and you're struggling, then at the last minute, you beat me!" Atem grins and puts the remote down when he hears the doorbell ring. He opens the door, revealing Mahad.
"Hello Mahad. What are you doing here?" Atem asks.
"I need your help. I fear that my brother is in danger."
"What do you mean?" Yugi asks, walking up to the door and standing beside his brother.
"He was angered for what Bruce did to Mana and so he went to face him by himself. Marc just doesn't know what he is getting himself into."
"And how can I help?" Atem asks, arching an eyebrow.
"You have a duel disk, correct?"
"That is correct." Mahad shows Atem his wrist and Yugi gasps in shock. He also has one as well.
"I took this from Mana while she was in the hospital. Please help me."
Atem nods. "Fine. I will go with you," he says before turning to Yugi. "You will stay here."
"What!? No fair man!"
"It's too dangerous. I can't risk you getting hurt." Yugi grunts and folds his arms.

"Bruce, where are you!?" Marc yells, walking into an abandoned house that Bruce stayed in. The house is pretty much dark but you can still see because of the windows. There is no answer and so he tries again, a little louder this time. "Reveal yourself to me at once!"
Out of the shadows appears Bruce who has a duel disk on his wrist. "Is there something wrong?" he asks with a grin.
"You know darn well what you did wrong! How could you!?"
"I was only teaching her a lesson. She'll never run away again that's for sure," he says with a chuckle and Marc narrows his eyes, clenching his fists.
"You'll pay for what you've done!"
"That's hard to believe," says Bruce, activating his duel disk. "You don't have a duel disk so you're helpless."
"But I have this," Marc says, pulling out a metal object out of his pocket.
Atem and Mahad appear outside of the abandoned building. The windows are cracked and it looks like the door has been busted open. Atem raises an eyebrow.
"This is where he lives?" he asks.
"Yes, when he is not with us," Mahad replies. A large explosion suddenly blows them back and they land on the concrete. Mahad quickly sits up, looking at the building in horror. It is on fire with flames coming out of each window. "We're too late…"
"Mahad," Atem says, pointing to the doorway where Bruce is. He is carrying Marc bridal style out of the burning building. Atem also notices that he has a duel disk on his wrist. 'His monster must have been the cause of this explosion.' They both get up and face Bruce, readying their duel disks.
"What have you done to my brother?" Mahad asks.
"He came looking for a fight. But of course he didn't stand a chance against me." He flings Marc at them both and they both catch him, falling back onto the ground.
"Marc? Are you alright?" asks Mahad with worry. Marc slowly opens his eyes, looking at them both.
"I could not defeat him."
"Hang in there," encourages Atem but Marc only shakes his head.
"I'm sorry for being so mean to you Atem. But I was only trying to do what's best for Mana."
"Brother…" Mahad says, his shoulders beginning to tremble.
"Take care…" And with that his body goes limp. Mahad looks away while Atem bows his head in respect before glaring at Bruce who is laughing.
"How could you? And to your best friend?" Atem asks while standing up onto his feet. "You won't get away with this." He summons his Dark Magician out and it appears next to him.
"I summon, Luminous Soldier!" Bruce yells and a steel soldier with spikes and a sword appears.

Mana's eyes flutter open and she finds herself in her hospital room. She looks at her shoulder which is wrapped up tightly. The surgery was a success. She looks the other direction to see Tea, sleeping on the couch next to Yugi, their heads closely together. There is no sign of her brothers or Atem anywhere though which worries her.
What makes her even more worried is that her duel disk is gone. It was sitting on the stand next to her bed before. But now it is nowhere in sight. Maybe Tea or Yugi will know what is going on.
"Yugi, Tea," she calls out to them. Tea is the first to open her eyes and she taps Yugi who reluctantly gets up.
"I'm glad to see you're awake," Tea says, standing up and going over to her bed. "Are you feeling alright?"
"I was," Mana replies before lowering her head. "But now I have this weird feeling inside--like something bad is happening as we speak." Tea looks back at Yugi, knowing that he knows just what is going on. Mana follows her gaze to Yugi. "Yugi, where are my brothers and Atem?"
"Well…"
"Has something happened to them? Please tell me," Mana pleads, fearing the worst.
Yugi turns his head. "You see, after your brother Marc saw what happened to you, he went to go get his revenge. Your brother came asking my brother for help, fearing that Marc was in trouble. They must be dueling now."
"No! They don't understand how powerful Bruce is! They're in danger! I have to help them!" Mana exclaims trying to get out of bed but Tea stops her from doing so.
"You're in no condition to be dueling. Besides, you don't even have your duel disk anymore," Tea points out and Mana sighs, bowing her head. "You can only hope that they will all make it out alright."
That's the end of this chapter. This story will be ending shortly but keep in mind that there will be a sequel. Review please!
