Chapter 7

Serenity's Day Out

When Yugi and Tristan had escaped from the grips of Nikki and Téa they got back to Yugi's card shop where they phoned Joey and said,

"Joey, we are in serious trouble, Nikki as turned Téa against us and she wants to take over the world" he explained.

"Tell me your joking Yugi?" replied Joey.

"I'm not Joey, I saw it with my own eyes when Nikki placed this some sort of Dark Magician Girl mask over her head that bonded with it and is now under Nikki's control" replied Yugi as tears ran down his cheeks.

Just then Mai and Serenity walked into the room where Joey was standing with the phone when Joey filled them in with the details as they were saddened and shocked by the news.

"We'll meet up at your place tomorrow morning Yugi so night and don't worry we'll get her back" said Joey comforting his best friend.

Meanwhile at Nikki's Game store, Téa was in the card room where Nikki had gathered together all of the cards in the world as she went through the cards and then sat at a small table, where she went through her own deck until she decided to go with a new deck as she dumped her old deck in the bin but she kept her Dark Magician Queen, the card that Yugi gave her.

After keeping her Dark Magician Queen, Téa walked over to the large computer where she sat down and booted the system up as the computer said in a womanly voice,

"Welcome to the Card Almanac please state your name"

"Téa Gardener" she replied as the computer scanned her eyes and gave her a new alias of Dark Magician Girl as the computer booted the card catalog and began to go through it until she said,

"Computer scan, all Fiend, Spellcaster, Machine/Union, Dark Attribute monsters" she ordered.

When all the cards came up on the computer screen, Téa chose the cards that she wanted for her new Deck by clicking on them. When she was happy with the deck she had chosen, the computer processed her new deck and after a few seconds the computer stored her deck within its memory and ejected her new deck as she picked her deck up and held them in her hand as she began to laugh evilly.

All of a sudden, Téa said,

"Computer shut down" she ordered, while she turned around and headed for the door out of the card room. Just as Téa left the card room she was summoned by Nikki when she walked to her Room while carrying her deck when she entered the control room. After Téa entered the room, Nikki looked at her and said,

"Now my warrior is your new deck ready for action?"

"Yes Mistress Nikki" replied Téa.

"Good Téa or should I call you Dark Magician Girl" said Nikki while standing in front of her.

"You can call me anything you want Mistress" said Téa.

"Now follow me so that we can get your own Duel Disk" explained Nikki when she walked passed Téa and walked out of the control room.

Just then Nikki led Téa to a room that she had a special card key when she swiped it through the electronic lock when the doors began to open. When the doors opened, Nikki led Téa into the room where the lights came on to reveal the contents. When both Nikki and Téa entered the room and the contents were revealed it was like walking into a library with bookshelves that went all the way to the ceiling filled with numerous custom made duel disks when Nikki said,

"Go ahead Dark Magician Girl and choose your own Duel Disk" she said. When Téa walked passed Nikki and walked along the many shelves until she took one off and placed it onto her left wrist and fastened it shut as it clipped together and loaded her new deck. After Téa had loaded her deck into the duel disk she walked back to Nikki, who was holding some sort of leather strap with a deck box attached to it when she said,

"Here Téa a deck holder for you to store your deck when you aren't dueling" she explained while holding it open in her hand.

"Thank you Mistress I won't let you down" replied Téa while looking at the size of the strap.

Just then Nikki bent down into a crouching position and swung the leather strap around Téa's right thigh and pulled the leather straps together until the fastening clip sanpped together as she pulled the strap and looped the rest of the strap through the loop at the back of the leather deck case.

Meanwhile on the other side of the city, everyone but Yugi was sleeping peacefully when the sun began to rise and the alarm clock struck 6am when he sat up in a cold sweat. Just then Yugi looked around his room he rolled back as his head hit the pillow as he looked up at his empty ceiling.

Three hours had passed since Yugi woke up and was having breakfast until the phone rang when he got up to answer it.

"Hello…" said Yugi.

"Hey Yugi, its Joey where do you want to meet up?"

"I'll meet you at the clock tower in an hour" replied Yugi.

"Ok Yugi, I'll be there" said Joey as he hung up the phone.

When Joey had finished on the phone to Yugi he looked at Serenity and thought to himself,

'Oh crap I forgot about Serenity' as he quickly dialed his moms number and waited for her to pick up.

"Hello…" said Mrs. Wheeler on the phone.

"Hey mom sorry about not calling you last night but don't worry Serenity is fine, she slept here last night" he explained.

"I knew that you would look after her Joey so is she there?"

"Yes she's here if you want a word with her" replied Joey.

"Yes please dear put her on" said his mother.

"Hi mom" said Serenity as she took the phone off Joey.

"Hi serenity are you ok and as Joey been looking after you?" she asked.

"Yes I'm fine and yes Joey as been looking after me as he is the best big brother in the world" she replied.

"Good I'll let you go and have fun and I'll see you later dear take care" said her mom.

"Ok mom see you later bye" said Serenity as she put the phone down just as Mai walked into the living area.

When Serenity had put the phone down she and Joey turned around and said,

"Morning Mai, how are we this morning?"

"Morning Serenity" replied Mai as she walked over to them.

"So what are we going to do today Joey?" asked Serenity.

"Well I have to meet up with Yugi and Tristan to see if we can get Téa back somehow" he replied.

"If your meeting up with Yugi and Tristan then how about I take Serenity Shopping?" said Mai while sitting down to eat.

"That sounds great Mai I would like that but have you got a change of clothes?" replied Serenity.

"There's a spare change of clothes in the bag that i brought with me" she replied just as Joey placed two plates in front of Mai and Serenity.

After Joey, Mai and Serenity had finished their breakfast, Mai walked into the bedroom and changed into something more comfortable when she said,

"Ok then are we going or what?" as she stood waiting for Joey and Serenity.

"Yeah we're coming," replied Joey as he grabbed his duel disk already loaded with his deck while Mai did the same with hers when they walked through the door as Joey locked up and quickly caught up with Mai and Serenity.

While at the Domino City clock tower Yugi, Tristan and Duke was waiting for Joey until he finally appeared as Mai and Serenity walked off together towards the mall.

After Joey met up with Joey, Tristan and Duke he said,

"Sorry I'm late Yugi, So what's the situation with Téa?" he asked.

"Well last night Téa went back to get her costumes mask and hat, but Nikki held her and placed some sort of mask over her head and now she is her slave" explained Yugi.

While in the Mall, Mai turned to Serenity and said,

"How about we get you some new clothes Serenity?"

"Cool I would like that Mai as I like the clothes you wear" replied Serenity.

"You mean my leather biker look or what you see now?" asked Mai.

"Both Mai as I think you're so cool and I would like to be like you" replied Serenity as she smiled.

"All right then we'll get you kitted out as I have friends in high places who own me favors" explained Mai in her normal way when they walked past a few of the shops. When Mai was leading serenity to the location of the store they waited for the glass elevator and walked in and pressed the first floor button as the doors closed as the elevator churned into motion and started to pull them up to the first floor of the mall. After the lift had come to an halt they left the lift and turned left as Mai pointed out the shop and said,

"Are you ready Serenity?" she asked.

"I am Mai lets go" replied Serenity as they both walked into the shop that sold women's leatherwear.

After walking into the shop, Serenity was stunned by the entire shop as she walked along the aisles until Mai walked up behind her and said,

"Come on Serenity let's get you kitted out" she said. Just then Mai looked at all the different tops until she found the one she liked when she held it up to show Serenity.

When Serenity saw the top she said,

"I like that Mai but will it suit me?" she asked.

"Well there's one way to find out and that is to try it on" replied Mai as Serenity took the top and walked over to the dressing room.

When Serenity entered the cubical she drew the curtain across, and started to remove her clothes until she was topless when she took the tank top of the hanger and then holder and held it over her and looked in the mirror when she pulled it over her head and down into place. When Serenity was wearing the top she turned and looked at herself in the mirror while Mai was standing outside when all of a sudden Serenity reappeared and said,

"Well Mai what do you think?"

When Mai turned her head she was speechless until she said,

"Wow Serenity you look stunning, now I found this mini skirt and vest that will go very nicely with your new top" she said as Serenity took them and felt the fabric of the skirt and vest before she took them to try them on for size.

While she was back in the cubical Serenity took off her denim skirt until she was in her underwear as she took the leather skirt and pulled it up and fastened it up when she took the vest and pulled it on she looked at herself in the mirror and turned around and walked out to see Mai once more.

"Wow Serenity you look perfect how do they feel?"

"They feel nice and I like them" replied Serenity when she turned and re entered her dressing cubical.

While Serenity was changing back into her clothes, Mai was putting the vest, top and skirt in a pile while she waited for Serenity to fasten her trainers up. Just then Serenity pulled the curtain back and rejoined Mai where they continued around the shop over to the boots and accessories department while a shop assistant appeared and said,

"Hello Mai it's been awhile hasn't it?" said the female voice.

Just then Mai turned around and replied,

"Hi Sophia and yes it has been to long so how are you?"

"I'm fine and who is your friend?" she asked.

"This is Serenity Wheeler, Joey's sister who I helped during the Battle City finals" replied Mai as she introduced her to Sophia.

"It's nice to meet you Serenity, now is there anything I can help you with?" said Sophia.

"Yes can you take these to the checkout while I and Serenity go over to the boot and accessories department" explained Mai.

"Sure thing" replied Sophia as she made her way to the checkout while making their way to the department.

Meanwhile at Nikki's game boutique story she had summoned Mia when she appeared she said,

"Nikki is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes Mia there is" replied Nikki as she turned her head of the room.

Click went Nikki's fingers as someone walked into the room.

Clack… clack… went the heels of the boots on the hard floor when the female figure stood in front of Nikki and Mia.

Just then Mia was shocked to see that the figure was Téa when she turned to her Mistress and said,

"Nikki is that Téa?"

"Yes Mia it is, while you were sleeping last night, I made Téa into my slave and now that she is on our side there is nothing we cannot do" explained Nikki.

Just then Nikki walked over to a draw and said,

"Now Mia, because we have tea under our control, we can rule the world with our dueling army?"

"Yes Mistress I will do everything to protect you but will I have to wear a mask like Téa's?" she said.

"No as I have a special mask for you" replied Nikki when she found the appropriate mask for her.

After Nikki had taken out a mask she turned around and said,

"Here Mia this mask will be perfect for you" while holding the mask out in front of her.

After Mia saw the mask she then looked at Téa and then her Mistress and took it from her and said,

"Thank you Mistress" when she looked down at the face of the mask. When Mia looked at the face of the mask she turned it around and then slowly pulled it up over her face and released her hands. After she had removed her hands, Mia realized that she could see through the eyes of the mask but nobody could see in as Nikki said,

"Now, Mia, please go and prepare a deck for yourself, oh and Téa please take her to the duel disk room and allow Mia to pick one for herself" she ordered.

"Yes Mistress Nikki" replied both Téa and Mia turned and walked through the door. But before Téa walked through the door after Mia, Nikki flicked her mater card key to her and walked off to do her own stuff while Téa walked after Mia.
