Chapter 9:

After I left the museum I was stopped by a weird guy with bald head.

"Greetings Eliza Fishnette, I have been looking for you." He said.

"Who are you and what do you want from me?" I asked.

Then the guy laughed and said

"My name is Marik however I am controlling a mind slave and I want you Eliza, and your millennium star. " He said.

"Grr….you'll never get my millennium star!" I said.

"We'll see about that, now duel me." He said.

"Fine! But if I win you will leave me alone and I will get two of your locater cards!" I said.

"Fine by me, now let's duel!" He said.

Skip to after the duel:

I won the duel and got his two locater cards, so now I qualify for the finals.

"This isn't over yet, I will be back for you and you will be mine!" He said while laughing and the guy he controlled passed out.

Then my millennium star glowed and I saw a vision that made my heart stop, it was Joey and he was tied up to a chair then being controlled by a millennium item.

*Oh no! I got to go find Joey and the others and make sure they're okay.* Then I ran off to find them.

Later on while I was running I almost got hit by a car.

"Hey Eliza, are you okay?" and it was Mai Valentine.

"I'm fine, but Mai I think Joey and the gang maybe in trouble we have to find them." I said in a panic tone.

"Hop in." She said.

Then I told her about the whole situation of what I learned about the world being in danger and my run in with one of the rare hunters.

"Rare hunter you say, and the world in danger? Hmm….we definitely got to find the gang." Mai said.

"I know, I don't know what I'll do if something happened to Joey." I said while choking up a little bit about to cry.

"Hey don't worry Eliza, Joey is a very strong person so he'll be fine. You're lucky to have him as your boyfriend he's very strong and will always be there to protect you and make you happy, trust me I know." Mai said.

"Yeah, you're right." I said feeling a little better.

Speaking of protecting me I was thinking about the time Joey saved my life back in New York when I was 12.

Flashback:

It was a beautiful sunny day in June, Joey and I were invited to a pool party held by one of my friends. Luckily Joey was able to visit me a lot over the summer, then a tragedy strike. I was not a very good swimmer at all, and I took it upon myself to teach myself how to swim thinking I could do it. It seemed stupid now, but back then I was so desperate to learn how to swim so I can spend time with Joey. Then next thing I know I dived in a 6ft side of the pool and I was close to drowning. Then I heard a voice screamed

"Eliza!"

And I recognized that voice to be Joey; I was trying to jump up in the water to get to the surface. However, it was difficult since I was so short. And the last thing I saw were those two beautiful brown eyes coming close to me in the water.

I woke up a few minutes later and saw Joey looking down on me.

"Eliza! Thank God you're okay!" Joey said and hugged me for dear life.

"Thank you Joey, I owe you one." I responded.

Then later on that day Joey taught me how to swim, after we finished, we got out of the pool and talked for a while. The sun was setting and it was so beautiful out there with pink, red, orange, and yellow sky. I especially loved the way the sun shined on Joey's golden blond hair with his puppy brown eyes sparkling looking at me. I knew at that time I have loved Joey a lot, but I was scared to confess at that time. So I was grateful to just have him in my life and being with him.

"Eliza, you gave me quite a scare today." Joey said.

"I know, and I'm sorry Joey. I just wanted to learn how to swim so bad so I could spend more time with you." I responded.

"Well, you could of just asked me to teach you, and that would have given you time to spend time with me right there." Joey responded while smirking.

I giggled while smiling and hugged him watching the sunset.

End of Flashblack:

Then Mai almost ran over Duke Delvin and a girl with bandages over her eyes with light brown hair.

"Hey cross in the green, not in between!" Mai said.

"Please, help us." The girl said.

"We are being chased by a bunch of thugs." Duke said.

"Hey there Duke what's up?" I asked.

"Hey there Eliza, what are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm catching a ride with Mai, because I'm looking for Joey and the rest of the gang." I said.

Then I told Mai that Duke is friends with Joey so they could come along. Then we all left. I asked the girl her name and she said,

"My name is Serenity Wheeler." She said.

"Serenity Wheeler, you must be Joey's little sister right?" I asked.

"Yeah, how did you know?" She asked.

"Well, I happen to be your brother's girlfriend he told me a lot about you, my name is Eliza Fishnette by the way." I said while shaking her hand.

"It's great to finally meet you Eliza, so you're the special girl that my brother has been talking about all this time." She said.

When she said that I blushed really dark red and it made my heart melt. *Wow Joey thinks I'm special? Aww….*

While we kept driving we finally ran into Tristan,

"Hey Tristan what's up?" I asked.

"Hey there Eliza, are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm looking for Joey and the rest of the gang because I sensed something happened." I said.

"It did and that's why we got to find them quickly." He said.

Then Tristan got in the car and we went off to Domino pier. Then Tristan explained to Mai everything that happened so far and I told Tristan my side of the story.

"Alright Tristan, based on your description of those creeps they sound like these rare hunters I been hearing about lately." Mai said.

"And what's a rare hunter?" Tristan asked.

"They're underground duelist who lie, cheat, and steal. Their goal is to collect rare cards and that's probably why they kidnapped your friends." Mai said.

Tristan told her the way to Domino Pier. Then we got closer she kept doing crazy turns.

"Time to crash this party now!" Mai said.

Tristan and Duke where yelling because of the crazy turns she was doing. But I was trying to remain calm.

"I'm scared guys." Serenity said.

"Everything is going to be fine Serenity." Tristan said.

"He's right; with me on your side you can't lose Serenity. We'll get Joey out of here, and pretty soon you'll see him duel in the finals." Mai said.

"Thanks Mai." Serenity said while smiling.

"Something looks like something is going on over there." Duke said.

"It looks like a duel." Tristan said.

Cliffhanger!
