A/N: Hey guys. Sorry for not writing in the past two days. I was trying to finish up my story on the EpisodeInteractive website.
Anyway, while I'm waiting on reviews for the last four chapters, enjoy reading Chapter 10.

In the last chapter, Stacey and the gang came face to face with Panik, who apparently loves being in the dark and making people's lives miserable. and after Yugi defeated him, he returned the stolen star chips to Mai, who had lost to him earlier. Anyway, with that said, ENJOY! And please leave reviews. Because I'm feeling left out.

Chapter 10 - Joey vs Bonz!

Seto woke up early in the morning in the same spot where he landed last night. the sun was barely coming up, the sky becoming blue as the sun rose higher. He sat up, rubbing the place on his head where he was hit, feeling a little blood. he knew that wasn't good, but he didn't have time to get to a doctor.
Mokuba and Stacey needed him, and he needed to get to the castle. He got up and went back to where he made camp, everything was still there, thankfully. Grabbing his suitcase, he continued to walk to the castle, there was no stopping him now.

"Ah Kaiba, I thought from our little talk last night you would be gone by now." Out came one of the goons from behind a tree, coming straight for him. his fist raised up to try and hit him. "You're coming with me, Kaiba!" He grabbed his arm, pulled him forward, elbowed him in the ribs and then flipped him on to the ground. he picked him up by his shirt and said,
"No, actually, you're coming with me and getting me into that castle, and save Mokuba and Stacey."

When Yugi woke up this morning, Stacey was gone. she had left a note for him though.

Yugi,

I left to follow Kaiba, get some answers.
If I'm not there by morning, start worrying. Love you cuz.

Stacey

Joey woke up everybody else by yelling at them, and they started to call out for her, and look everywhere. Why would she go after Kaiba?
Did she like him? Oh, the very thought of that, made him cringe! and to top it off, Joey was now missing too. They finally found him,
but he was in a cave, dueling some scary-looking kid named Bonz. Bandit Keith was there, and he didn't look too happy that Joey won though.

Now they were trapped there, since those guys made the rocks avalanche and cave them in. On top of that, they had to duel a couple of annoying brothers that wouldn't stop rhyming. Para and Dox, I mean come on. Those guys didn't know when to shut up.
The duel was different though. a tag team duel, and Joey dueled right beside him. But the thing was that the duel arena was a maze,
making it more hard for them to get through. Only one thing kept going into his mind, what had Pegasus done to Stacey?

It was so cold in that dungeon, she hardly got any sleep. Since her arm was shackled to the wall and didn't have enough chain, she had to keep her arm up,
which was giving it cuts and bruises on her wrist.
Good thing her burn was on the other shoulder, and with what happened last night, the bandage came off and it hurt so bad and was starting to blister. But she held Mokuba while he slept peacefully next to her, having to endure the cold stone of the dungeon floor on the burn area. then he started to cry and thrash all over, like he was having a nightmare. "Give me back my brother, Pegasus! leave us alone!" he cried out.

She shook him to wake up, as his eyes popped open with such fear. When he saw her though, she saw so much relief as he settled down.

"What's wrong?" She asked him. "I had such a bad dream that Pegasus got Seto and somehow took his soul. can he do that?"

She didn't know if she should answer or not. but she just nodded her head, since she didn't want to lie. Mokuba held on to her, crying so hard,
which made her stream out a few tears. To calm him down, she started to sing "Keep Holding On" by Avril Lavigne.

Looking down at Mokuba's face, he was calmed down and actually smiling at her. "Stacey? do you think Seto's coming?"

"I'm sure he is, and Yugi's coming too. I just wish I was still dueling in the tournament. Just when I was getting the hang of things."

She sighed, thinking that the guys must be worried sick. The day seemed to drag on, just so slowly. but Mokuba told her about his past.
How his parents died when he was very young, that Seto was pretty much raising him on his own, and that he was always there for him no matter what.
It gave her a new respect for Seto, how he could risk everything for his brother. and then the memory from last night, when he almost kissed her,
it made her feel weird, where was he?

They finally made it to the security entrance, and he made this dumb goon open the door. Inside, he lead him down a corridor that also lead to a dark path.

"I thought I told you to take me to the dungeon, this is endless."

"These tunnels are honeycombed throughout the island, you'd be lost down here for years without me."

"Don't get any ideas." He scoffed at his threat, but he doesn't just threaten people without going through with it.

"Listen slim, I'm bigger and stronger than you are. You only got the jump on me because you snuck up and took me by surprise. Hey, what's to stop me from spinning around right now and knocking you out? At least the girl didn't have to fight so much."

Now that got him furious. he turned him around and pulled him close to his collar. "If you've touched her or Mokuba, I'll drop you where you stand, got it?"

"Heh, well, when you put it that way, I'll help you find them and I swear I'll never lay a hand on her."

Coward. after a few more corridors, he stopped abruptly, giving him a cold grin. it was really dark, going into this part of the castle. then he backed up,
stepping really hard on one stone, tripping the alarm. "If you want to find the girl and your brother, I suggest you find them before security shows up."

Keeping the urge to beat his brains out, he ran into the hall in front of him, trying to find their cell. calling out their names, in hoping they would reply,
nothing for a few minutes. then he heard two voices calling out to him at the same time.

"SETO!" Running to the voices, he heard several men coming his way, so he had to hide.

"He couldn't have gone far, put guards around the cell, he'll show up." one yelled to the others as they ran in the same direction. fools, they were leading him right to him. once down there, there were about five men, they so underestimated him.

He took out one at a time, and ran to the first cell that was in his reach, seeing Stacey and Mokuba huddled together against the wall.
Her arm looked really bad with blisters and a little bit of an infection from the dungeon walls.

"Mokuba? Stacey?" Both of them shot their eyes up at him and smiled, Mokuba tried to come to the door, but the chains around his feet were too short.

"Dude, how did you find us?" Stacey asked. "Doesn't matter. I just need to get both of you out of here, and get you to a doctor."

Getting out a pick, he tried to undo the lock, when in came a familiar voice.
"Well, well, well, the Kaiba brothers are together again. I knew nothing would stop you from getting here."

Pegasus. He just stood there, looking at him with a sinister smirk on his face. anger coursing through his blood, making him just want to kill him.

"I should kill you for what you did to them."

"Don't be ridiculous, Kaiba boy. my dungeon, my castle. the only one who can make threats around here is me."

A bright light shone through the dungeon, blinding him. and he could hear Mokuba's cries for help, but he couldn't get to him.
and then a thump came from the cell, as the light died down. looking in, Mokuba's body laid on the floor, motionless and face down.
Stacey reached over and shook him, but no response. just an evil laugh from Pegasus.

Pegasus held up a blank card in his face, and then came Mokuba's face, making him even more furious. "You fucking monster, what have you done to him?!"
Stacey cried out in pain, seeing the tears in her eyes and wanted nothing more than to take the Millennium Eye and shove it down his throat.

"Just a little magic trick. I have ensured your cooperation, for you see, his soul has been sent to the shadow realm. and there he shall remain,
unless you beat me in a duel."

"You're crazy! me, duel you? fine, I'll do anything!" she cried out in desperation, tears of anger spilling from her eyes again.

"Not so fast, you first must beat Yugi in a duel. if you don't, Mokuba will stay locked away in the shadow realm forever."

"Seto, wait, don't do this! We'll find another way, just listen to me!" Stacey called out, but her mind didn't want to hear it.

"Quiet, Miss Muto. there is no other way. Here, you'll need these." He threw some star chips at her and a dueling glove.

"You little ass! that belongs to me, dip shit!" Stacey yelled. "Not anymore."

"For now, I have no choice but to play your little game, ...on one condition." he said, hearing Stacey gasp in shock. "What's that?"

"She comes with me."

"Very well, I knew you would ask that. so I'll let her go with you." He unlocked the door and unlocked her shackle, pulling her out.
Then there came something unexpected: Pegasus handcuffed them together. "You two lovebirds have fun eliminating Yugi boy."

"WE'RE NOT EVEN DATING, YOU DIP SHIT!" Stacey yelled at his retreating form. Man! When will people get it through their damn heads that I'm in love with Joey?!
Stacey thought in annoyance. Speaking of which, I sure do miss him though. She finished sadly. Both of them stayed quiet throughout the walk outside.

Seto knew she was probably mad at him, but what choice did he have? and on top of that, Joey was going to be steaming mad when he finds out that his future girlfriend had been taken away and locked up in the dungeons forever, causing him not to see her.

A/N: End of Chapter 10. Another long chapter finished. I hope you'll all like this one. and please tell me what you think by reviewing.
