Okay I know I said I'd probably update more but my schoolwork has me behind. Sorry I know, I know, I'm horrible. Plus I get major writer's block so have mercy.

So let's get this show on the road.

Disclaimer: Oh who am I kidding? If I owned yu-gi-oh this show would change so much the characters head would spin. See any spinning heads? Didn't think so.

Chapter 8: The Four Troopers

A few weeks after the accident Mai, Isis, and Tea were sitting in Mai's living room working on their homework.

"I can't concentrate." Mai complained.

"Yes you can, just try." Isis replied with a tiny hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"Isis stop. You can't honestly tell me you're not worried about them."

"I am but what can we do that the guys aren't? They're looking for them so what does it matter to us."

"It matters a lot Isis! They're our friends and something might have happened to them!" Tea practically screamed.

"Well don't jinx it dammit!" Isis screamed at Tea then became frustrated and filled with worry.

Mai sighed then spoke up, "I'm sure they're fine. They are smarter than they act."

"I know that. It's just," Isis was cut off by Mai's cell phone.

(Keep your drink just give me the money.

It's just you and your hand tonight.)

Mai stood up and pulled her phone out of her purse and talked for a few minutes as Isis and Tea listened to every word and noise. She hung up and looked confused and happy all at once.

"They found all of them. Including Yami, Bakura, and Marik."

"What?!" Isis and Tea screamed in unison and shock.

"That's what I'd like to know."

Almost out of instinct they grabbed their things and ran to Mai's car. They drove towards the game shop and in no time they were there.

As they walked in Bakura and Yami were arguing and Ryo and Yugi were trying to settle it.

"How in the name of heaven did this happen?" Mai asked with Isis nodding in disbelief and shock behind her.

"Well, we were walking and looking for Joey and some guy came out and started this weird chant and next thing we saw was like this tie-dye looking scene and then we blacked out," Yugi started.

"When we woke up we ALL were lying in the alley," Ryo stated.

"Wow." Tea said

"Whatever." Bakura sat down and looked around, "What is there to do around here?"

"We could go send little children to the shadow realm for fun." Marik suggested.

"I think not." Isis stated firmly.

Marik mumbled something about 'damn sisters' and sat down.

"So where's Joey?" Mai asked.

"Um…. we don't know. He was with us when that guy showed up." Malik said.

"Right." Duke said his face going from interest to bore, "Let's go Tristan."

"Right behind you." Tristan and Duke walked out and got in Tristan's pick up and drove off.

About an hour or so later they came back with Joey in tow.

"Thank god." Yugi said.

"Guys we found him in that alley about three cities over." Duke said cooly.

"Why?" Isis asked a little worried.

"Who knows?"

"Um… Joey maybe?"

"I don't even know I woke up there and there was a check in my pocket for Ren's hospital bill from that De Witt guy." Joey said.

"Wow that's weird."

"I know."

"Hey guys who wants to come with me somewhere?" Tristan asked.

"Sure where to?" Joey asked stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"I need to go pick up a friend who's going to be living with my family for a while."

"Cool let's go."

Everyone loaded into a few cars and they took off for the airport. Once there they all walked in and stood with Tristan until he spotted a girl and walked towards her.

Duke took quick notice of her. Her blonde hair, her bright blue eyes, and her perfect skin.

Wow she's hot!

Tristan smacked Duke in the head already knowing what he was thinking.

"Guys this is Angel. She's a friend of the family. I've known her since 4th grade."

Everyone greeted her then they began getting her things into Tristan's vehicle where she rode with Tristan and Duke.

After a week or two Angel had grown close to the group and Duke just had to work around Tristan to ask her out. Joey had heard from the doctors that they expected Ren to only make it a few more days. And Bakura had blown up anywhere from ten to thirty technological items.

More to come in chapter 9.
