Chapter 7: An unexpected enemy

YAMIS POV…

A little while later we were still driving, Anu was glaring at the driver again and Joey kept repeating the same question over and over again. "Are we there yet?"

The car stopped and we all looked up Tristan asked why had we stopped and Anu was growling again. The driver had gotten out and was walking to a gas station.

"That's weird why did we stop at a run down gas station" Tea said

"I don't like the looks of this" said Tristan.

For once I agreed with Tristan and I am beginning to think we should have listened to Anu when we had the chance.

We had been waiting for the driver to come back now and I was getting more and more paranoid by the minute. Normally I don't see my self as a paranoid person but this was just ridiculous. I looked at the gang, Tristan and Tea were looking for the driver from there seats and I thought Joey was asleep until he said

"I guess we should go check on him."

We all got out of the car and Anu began sniffing around probably looking for the driver. The gang was calling around but there was no sign of the driver. It was like he had vanished.

Joey had gone inside and came back out saying nobody was here, Tristan walked off to where the bath rooms where. Tristan came back out and said

"He's not in the little boy's room."

"Then where did he go" Tea asked

Joey suddenly told us to hold on and we all looked at him. He had his hand up to his hear like he was listening for something.

"Yeah what are you listening to" Tea asked

"That" he cried

We all listened and I heard it to, a small humming sound. At first no one heard it but then Anu start to growl at the road and Yugi said he heard it to. They all heard it now and they had run into the road. They were getting closer.

"Who ever it is we have got to flag them down" Tristan said

I could see a dust cloud coming our way.

"Let's just hope the natives are friendly"

I could see the cloud was caused by a bunch of people on bikes, Anu was growling now and had her haunches risen.

"Guys I've got a feeling there not here to rescue us" Tristan said as the bikers got closer.

I now officially have a problem with bikers I thought as they came speeding towards us. They came to a screeching halt right in front of us.

"You kids shouldn't be roaming around in these parts" said one

"Yeah you never know who might drive by" said another

Anu was growling louder now and one of the bikers looked at her and said

"So your dog thinks she has a bark, I wonder if her bite is worse" the others laughed

I had a strange hunch Anu just might bite one of them like I promised her I would let her do. Joey shoved Tea behind him and said

"Hey YOU guys got a problem"

"Gas stations closed" said Tristan "so just move on"

I new danger was coming so I told Yugi "Yugi" I called

He looked at the puzzle and asked what's wrong.

"This looks dangerous let me take over"

He nodded and I was in control facing the bikers. I glared at them and Tea asked what they wanted. I whistled for an Anu and she looked at me. I motioned to Tea with my head and she went and stood by her. I turned back to the bikers.

"Didn't I tell you to get lost" Tristan said

"I don't believe they're taking your advice" I said

One of them spoke up and said

"I guess the spiky harried kid's the smart one"

They gunned there engines and Tristan said

"What now"

"Hey I just got a great idea" Joey said, we looked at him "RUN"

He took off, followed by Tea and Anu who was still guarding Tea like I asked, I ran and Tristan followed. I had a feeling that this plan wasn't going to work. I could here the bikes behind us following.

The bikes passed us and swirled around us in a moving circle. We formed a barrier around Tea who then asked what we should do. Good question, any one have the answer?

"What ever we have to" Tristan said good answer not

The bikers pulled out medal pipes and were laughing.

"Well guess there not fighting fair," said Joey

'No what was you first clue,' I thought, 'before or after they pulled out the pipes.'

The leader mocked Joey then slammed the pipe on the ground and took off, dragging it, the others did the same. One road up with the pipe in the air, ready to hit on of us, it almost it Joey when suddenly the biker was on the ground and a card was lodged in his hand.

The bikers were confused and looking around, around one of the corners another bike roared up and shot more cards into the bikers hand and knocking them of there bikes.

"What's going on" Tea asked

"Let's ask questions later" Tristan said pulling Tea to the car.

Anu barked at me and I saw Joey staring at the biker who had saved us, Tea was yelling at him to hurry, why was Joey freaking out that way. Finally he got up and ran into the car.

Tristan slammed the car in motion and told us to hang on, we swerved a bit. I looked back at the gas station in time to see it blow up. OH that's why he was freaking out.

Joey pulled his head back in the car and Tea asked

"So wait, who just saved us"

"Mai did" Joey said "I saw her"

We turned and looked at him and Tristan said

"You serious"

"Mai?" I asked confused, what was she doing out here.

After I really don't know how long the Engine decided it didn't like us anymore and over heated, we were all now walking and poor Anu looked like she was sweating to death.

"So the car over heated" Tristan said "sue me"

"I just might if, Anu dies of a heat stroke" I said

They looked at Anu who was walking with Tea and slowly falling behind

"Next time, do us a favor let a pro do the driven heh" Joey said "that way we won't get left high and dry in the desert next time"

"Hey if you hadn't taken your sweet time getting in I wouldn't have to drive so fast and the car would have been fine."

Joey dropped his bag and turned to Tristan and began yelling. Anu walked up to me and whimpered.

"I know Anu; we'll get you some water and shade soon"

"STOP!!" yelled Tea

I turned to them and said

"Tea is right you to, this is not the time to be fighting one another."

"Exactly, what we need now is a plan"

"Agreed," I said "the first thing we need to do is locate Pegasus."

Tea walked over to me and said

"Yugi it seems like, who's ever after Pegasus knows we're here and I bet they got to him first, so we have to be really careful"

"Yeah good call" said Tristan

I nodded and looked at Anu was now on the ground painting.

"Now for faze two, how do we get there with out a car"

At that moment Tea cried out "what's that"

I looked up, it sounded like something had swerved around our car.

"Hopefully not more bikers" Joey looked closely and yelled out "IT'S A CAR"

"Now how to get it pulled over" said Tristan

Suddenly the Two were looking at Tea

"What"

"I would like to know that as well"

The two nodded to each other and then said

"Tea, you're an ok looking girl, how bout you pull that car over"

"Get your foot out of your mouth and I might think about it" she said

I knew what they were getting at and I don't think I liked this plan. Tristan shoved Joey to the floor,

"Please Tea, what Joey means is the driver will pull over for a pretty girl such as you a lot faster then us boys."

Tea made her lips go in a thin line then said while looking at Anu

"Fine, but I am doing this for Anu, not any of you"

The boys nodded and I said I didn't like this plan. Joey and Tristan grabbed my arms and began pulling me behind the Rock with are bags

"To bad Yuge, you Ant's got a choice"

Anu sat with Tea who was holding her thumb out. She gave a wink and I heard a car screech to a halt.

"Hi" some one said and Joey answered him

"Hello"

We walked out from behind the rock smiling well, Joey and Tristan were, and I still didn't like the plan. We all piled in the back of his truck and Tea said to the two boys

"You're lucky he was a guy"

Joey and Tristan grinned sheepishly and Anu snorted but was happy to have a bit of wind blowing on her. I scowled at the whole thing.

"Relax, buddy no one was hurt, except maybe Tea's Pride"

She kicked him for that and I laughed. While Joey was rubbing his sore shin he said

"THANKS Tristan, this is much better than the limo."

"No one thinks your funny Joey"

Tea smiled at bit then sighed her face becoming concerned. I watched and was about to ask what was wrong when she said

"I've got a question, you said Mai helped us out back there, but how do you know it was her?"

"That's easy Tea, her card, she was carrying Harpy lady, its Mai's Trade mark, plus I got a glimpse of her through her helmet. I knew we would run into her some day and did you see how she took care of those biker creeps."

"That was awesome" said Tristan

"Yeah, it makes me glad she is on our side."

Yugi's mind reached out to me and I turned to him in my mind. I looked thought full then said

"Tea's right it is a good think that she is on our side"

"True but something bugging me why didn't she stick around"

Yugi shrugged and I just turned back to the conversation the gang was having and began to stroke Anu again.

The Truck driver had dropped us of rather rudely at Industrial Illusions. We had walked in because the door was open. Tristan was now calling around for any one.

"Hello Pegasus, the place is completely empty" said Tristan

"Well maybe it's like some kind of Holiday or something."

"Then why were the front doors left open, its just weird" said Tea to Joeys comment.

I looked at Anu; she was laying on the cold floor, but also looked alert like something was bugging her like it was bugging me. Yugi appeared next to me and said

"I've got a bad feeling about this"

"So do I" I said "I suspect the thieves that were after Pegasus may have already found him. If that's the case then I am sure there expecting us."

I know I was scaring Yugi more than he already was but I had to be realistic. Tea walked over to the phone and picked it up. She placed it to her ear and said

"Hey you guys, the phones aren't working"

We all took a step towards her when Anu jumped up and started barking, we turned to the door to see the gates lowering over them.

"Oh no were trapped" Joey said

We ran to the doors to try and find a way out. I pulled on the gates as they raddled and I even Anu was ramming into them to see if they would fall.

"Stay clam" I said

Suddenly I heard a gunning of and Engine and I looked up and saw a red motorcycle shoot off the balcony. It fell and landed on the ground perfectly, the driver turned it side ways and stopped.

"Mai is that you" Joey asked

The biker pulled off her helmet and a shower of blonde hair fell out, yep that was Mai. We ran up to her and Tea and Tristan said "it was her" in a happy tone. I wasn't so convinced and I don't help that Anu was growling at her.

"Hate to say I told you so but did" Joey said smugly "as for you, what brings you to Sanfrasico Mai, the trolleys"

Mai was glaring at us, well actually Joey. Why though.

"Guess not" said Joey

She got off the bike and Anu growled some more

"Shut that mutt up Yugi or I will do it for you" she said but didn't turn around.

"Don't we get a high" said Joey appalled by her behavior and what she said.

I then noticed her duel disk; it was the same one as biker people were wearing.

"I'm not Mai, or at least not the Mai you knew."

She drew a card from her deck and Joey said what. She was looking at the card like she was remembering something and she said that we had heard her. Anu was now barking at her and she was standing in front of me. The others were looking at her. Something wasn't right. Anu wouldn't growl unless there was something Dark about them.

"Alright gang, say hello To Pegasus" she held up the card, it was the seal of Orichalcos and it had Pegasus's picture in it.

"What" I said appalled, she took out Pegasus.

"Whoa is that really him" said Tristan

"Uhh, question did you do that to him" Tea asked

"Look you better start talking" yelled Joey

"Or else what" said a familiar voice.

We all looked up and saw two of the three bikers who stole the cards.

"What's the matter wheeler, did your little reunion with Mai not go as well as you expected it to."

"And you why are you keeping these Guys all to your self Mai why don't you show some manors and share the fun with us."

"Mind your own business you lackey, these geeks are mine, so deal with it."

Joey looked crushed.

"Geeks, but where your Friends Mai" Joey said looking like his whole world just went black. "Please Mai tell me that this all a joke, you're on our side remember"

He was yelling now and I felt sorry for him,

"Great Mai totally sold us out" Tristan said. Not best for comments right now I thought.

"No Mai would ever do that" Tea yelled and I really wanted to believe her. She turned to Mai "tell him you're still our friend right?"

I had about enough of this so I yelled out

"Its time to explain yourself"

"I was never apart of your little play group and now I am going to break you apart one by one, and Wheeler I am starting with you"

She had activated he duel disk and now that I saw the blue and strange markings I don't know why I didn't recognized it before.

"Fine" Joey said

"Its pay back time and it all starts now" she drew her card. She looked at the card and said "to think I was once the pathetic enough to call you my friend. BUT NOW I KNOW THE TRUTH, YOU WERE HOLDING ME BACK FROM ACEVING TRUE POWER so say hello to my real friend, THE SEAL OF ORICHALCOS."

She placed the card in its slot and Anu gave a whimper

"This card has done more for me then you losers ever could"

A light went up around Mai and we all were pushed back when the seal activated and surrounded Joey. Anu gave a howl and sank to the floor at my feet.

"No not this" I cried

She was laughing now and she said

"Heh heh heh heh if your scared now just wait tell you lose"

"Wake up Mai, this thing nothing but bad news. It's messing up your head big time."

I could see the dark energy around her and I couldn't help but sigh in defeat. The Orichalcos claims more than just one victim; it also steels the good in someone. Anu whined and I knelt down next to her. I knew the Seal was making her in pain because of its Dark energy but there was nothing I could do for her. Joey was still trying to talk sense into Mai and I don't think it was working.

"Don't ja remember everything we've been through together just ditch that freaky card and things can be the way they use to be"

The dark energy around her vanished and she lifted up her head, she was laughing again and the seal was on her forehead

"It's exactly as I feared" I said "the Orichalcos controls her, this duel must end"

"Other wise she is going to do the same thing to Joey that she did to Pegasus" said Tea in panic

"No she's won't cause Joey will win" Tristan said angrily.

Joey was now trying to reason with her, but Mai wasn't going to listen and I knew that, once the Orichalcos is in play, nothing can get thought to your head apparently. She played a card and ignored Joeys pleading.

"Come one Mai some one is going to get hurt"

"Yeah that's the point; whoever loses this duel loses their soul"

"No I can't, I won't. Look Mai I WON'T lose you AGAIN" he was shaking now and I knew he was crying. "You've got to stop this duel now"
