Readers: I'm thinking about turning this story into a series like the show itself. Let me know what you all think about that =)

Keith's Assault

"Poor Jamie, I hope we're able to get to the semi-finals so we can save her." Joey said.

Yami nodded, "I agree but there may be a problem with getting to the finals."

"What do you mean?"

He sighed as they entered the woods, "It'll be great if you, Yugi, and I get to the finals…but what happens if we have to face each other."

The group fell silent before letting out a sigh, "Then we'll just have to go through with it. Jamie's life is at stake right now so we can't worry about each other." Yugi said. "Besides, I think this will be a great way for us to improve our dueling skills."

"You said it," Lexi said. "And I can be your little sideline cheerleader."

Yami smiled loving how his friends could make a dangerous situation into an adventure he could actually enjoy. "I'm glad you guys came along. There is no way I can get through this without you."

"Awe Yami, don't start with that stuff or my sister will start the water works." Joey said. "You know all she does is cry."

Lexi narrowed her eyes, "I don't remember asking for your opinion big brother…"

"You didn't need to." He said.

"Hey no arguing you two, we have a friend to rescue." Tristan said.

Meanwhile on another section of the Island, Seto Kiaba was in the middle of his first duel against a kid named Rex. Rex was a shorter guy with a specialty in dinosaur monsters. He was putting up a valiant effort against Kiaba, but in the end…it was Seto's Blue Eyes White Dragon that became the victor.

"Oh no! I can't believe I actually lost!" Rex said.

Kiaba smirked, "Well believe it because it just happened. Now if you don't mind, I'd like those three star chips you have over there."

Rex growled with annoyance. "Oh you may get these star chips, but I promise I'll get you back someday."

"Whatever you say pal." Kiaba said as Rex tossed him the three star chips that he had.

Mallory, who had been standing close by ran up to her brother with a smile on her face. "Great job bro! I can see that you've been practicing a lot with your dueling."

He snickered, "I don't need practice Mallory, I'm a natural born champion. You of all people should know that."

She frowned slightly, "Well yes, but if that was the case then Yami should be on your list of losers."

His eyes narrowed, "Excuse me?"

Her gaze dropped from his, "Sorry big bro, all I was saying was-"

"-I don't need to be reminded of how often my enemy seems to triumph over me! Every champion takes a loss, but not me…"

She nodded and rubbed the back of her neck, hating it whenever he snapped on her that way. With no remorse, Seto turned away from his sister and began walking to another section of the island. She couldn't understand what had happened to their relationship. At one point, she was Seto's world…but now all he cared about was beating Yami. With a soft sigh she followed her brother, making sure not to say anything else that might cause a fight.

Pegasus's Castle

"Ah! Let me go! Where are you taking me!" Jamie yelled as she was pulled to the bottom layer of Pegasus's castle…the dungeon.

"Sorry ma'am, but this was Pegasus's orders." Keith said with a smug smile. "Maybe if you keep quiet I'll be a nice guard."

She gritted her teeth and yanked her arms free from his grip. Before he knew it, she turned around and took off running down a different hallway.

"Hey! Come back here! You didn't even give me a kiss yet!" Keith yelled after her.

She kept running but she was very uncertain of where to go. A few moments later she came to a place that had three entrances. She looked at each of them before taking off down the one to her right. Keith wasn't too far behind, but he ended up taking the one on the left, knowing he would eventually run directly into her.

The hall she ran down came to another area with three entrances. She sighed heavily before taking the one in the middle. About halfway down the hall she tripped over something that brought her crashing to the ground. When she sat up to see what it was, she was mortified to find a skeleton laying on the ground. She screamed before getting up and running down the hall, where she ran directly into Keith.

"Hey there beautiful," he said as he grabbed her and slammed her onto the ground.

She grunted when the back of her head hit the cold concrete beneath her. The impact sent pain through her head and partially blurred her vision.

Keith chuckled wickedly before mounting the defenseless girl and pinning her wrists into the ground. "Now…it's playtime."

"W-what are you g-going to do to m-me?" she asked as tears filled her eyes.

He smiled, "Oh I don't know, maybe torture you a little bit…get a little piece of you while we're down here?"

Jamie shook her head, "Stop, please don't!"

He laughed, "I think you've got those words backwards…you're supposed to say, please don't stop…"

"Help! Someone please help me!" she screamed.

Just like before, Yami collapsed, seeing Jamie struggling to get free from the monster on top of her.

"Yami what's the matter?" Lexi asked.

"It's Jamie…I can see her!" he said as he dug nails into the ground.

Joey looked around, "Where? I don't see her anywhere."

"He didn't mean out here you idiot!" Tristan said. "He can see her in his mind…"

The group looked on as Yami struggled with the horrible vision. He wanted to help her, to save her, but he knew there wasn't anything he could do at that point. Just when he thought that things were going to get worse, Pegasus stepped out from the shadows while Keith was beginning to tear open Jamie's dress.

"Keith! What on Earth do you think you're doing?"

The man gasped upon sight of his master, scrambling to his feet in a hurry. "Oh…I was just…well…she was coming onto me sir."

Pegasus sighed and shook his head, "I told you not to touch her Keith….and since you feel the need to disobey me…"

Keith's eyes widened as Pegasus moved his hair away from his Millennium eye. "Master, wait…I can explain!"

"No need…I've seen all I needed to in this very moment."

Jamie screamed as Pegasus's eye shot out a gold light that engulfed Keith. She watched as his soul was torn from his body and placed into a blank duel monsters card that was in Pegasus's hand.

"There we go, now he won't cause any more trouble." Pegasus said with a wicked laugh. "As for you, let me get you to your cell where he was supposed to take you."

Jamie sniffled as she stood up and followed Pegasus to another part of the castle. She wasn't sure if she should thank him for saving her or just remain quiet. When they reached the cells, Pegasus opened the first one and placed her inside before shutting the door and locking it. It was dimly lit down there and somewhat colder since she was now forced to hold her dress closed.

"Don't fret little Jamie, I'll have a new dress made for you. In the meantime, why don't you lay down in the little cot in the corner. I trust Yami will get his star chips, and soon you two will be together in the shadows!"

With a taunting laugh, he turned and headed back upstairs. Jamie sighed and walked over to the cot. Instead of lying down, she pulled her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. She kept Yami's determined face in her mind, praying that he would indeed get to her soon.
