Chapter 51 Sisters To The Rescue

Mistress Dragons stretched her self out as she stood beside the helicopter; she used the copter as a balance as she regained her sense of balance. She then looked around and glanced in the direction of where Yugi, Kaiba, and Mokuba had left in and wondered, [I wonder if they had found Joey and Téa]

She then grabbed her duffle bag and searched around to find her cell phone, with luck on her side she found it on her second try. She then dialed in Maria's cell phone number and waited for the twelve year old to answer,

"Hello" said Maria after the fourth ring

"Hey, its Mistress Dragons. Are you okay?" replied Mistress Dragons

"Yea, I am fine, I'm just hanging out at Kaiba Corp," said Maria

"Okay, Maria can you make a call to 'daddy' and tell him his 'baby girl' needs some things brought to her room before she goes to the finals"

"YOUR IN THE FINALS" screeched Maria in excitement

Mistress Dragons held the phone away from her ear, the pilot just gave her a weird look, and she mouthed 'little sister' he nodded his understanding.

"Hush, Maria I am not in the finals as a duelist but as a Medic, now go and make that phone call" she said sternly

"Okay" said a dishearten Maria

"Okay talk to you later" she said as she hung up

Mistress Dragons then said goodbye to the pilot saying that if Mokuba or Seto were to ask where she went he was to say that she walked to her hotel. He said that he would mention it. She waved and walked a good distance away from the helicopter. Then she found a warehouse that looked empty and changed, she took everything out of the duffel bag and took out another set of clothes. This time they were long loose pants that were a dark blue and grabbed a creamy halter-top shirt out as well. She dressed in a matter of minutes and then placed the Mistress of Dragons costume at the bottom of the duffel bag.

Just as Isisa was putting all the medical equipment away, her dragon showed up,

"About time you were your self again. I thought I wasn't going to see you again," teased the Dragon

"But we almost didn't make it out of the duel" said Isisa not looking at the dragon

"Yea, you have a point on that one"

"But at least you have to let Mistress Dragons have a break now that you proved your point" finished the dragon

"Why is that?" asked Isisa putting the last item in the duffle bag

"Because, hubby saw the dagger and I looked to see what was in his mind and boy! You don't want to know," said the dragon flipping on its back like it was in a hammock

"Really, well now you go me interested" said Isisa zipping up the bag and placing her hands on her hips

"Okay, but be warned I am not keeping this G-Rated" giggled the dragon

"He said and I quote 'Wow don't I remember that blade and not to mention those legs' it doesn't get any better then that I tell ya" said the dragon

"Well, like I said before, I want to test him" finished Isisa grabbing the duffel bag

"Test him about what, he knows that you are that Juniata chick so what is the big deal about Mistress Dragons" asked the Dragon flipping right side up again

"Because, Mistress Dragons is not Isisa or Juniata, she is a woman who teaches others a lesson when they mess with Industrial Illusions"

"So what did Kaiba due that ticked off Industrial Illusions?" asked the dragon

"He didn't do anything that I am aware of, but I want to see if his is starting to have feelings for 'Mistress of Dragons' for if not it means that I can trust him when I am in Egypt or anywhere else I don't have to worry about him straying" finished Isisa as she walked out of the warehouse

"You make him sound like a dog…I like dogs especially when I can 'hurt' them," said the dragon happily

Isisa just looked at her dragon,

"What, I mean what else am I supposed to eat, corporate mongrels…come to think of it I would like to try a corporate mongrel…can I eat your hubby if he fails this 'test'" asked Blue Eyes

"Sure…if I ever divorce him" laughed Isisa over her shoulder

"No I mean it," replied Blue Eyes flying after her

Just then, Isisa hears a car honking, and she turns to see Mai's blue convertible pull up by the pier. Tristan and Duke jump out of the car, and before Isisa could ask what was going on, the two booked it down the row of warehouses towards the duel where Yugi had taken over the duel and had handed over the Puzzle to Joey.

By the time Isisa, Mai, and Serenity, Joey's younger sister showed up. Tristan and Duke started to pick up their pace and run even faster towards Téa, but Mokuba steps in front of them saying,

"Don't go, it is a trap"

"What do you mean a trap?" asked Isisa running towards Mokuba and Seto

"Look" said Mokuba pointing to the crate filled with explosives hanging over Téa's head.

"What the F-"

"Fudge, Tristan, say fudge there are minors around" cut in Isisa

"Okay, then WHAT THE FUDGE"

"Listen, this is dangerous," warned Seto

"What do you mean dangerous where in the FUCK is the Duel Medic" shouted Isisa

"I thought you said, we were supposed to say FUDGE?" asked Tristan looking at Isisa

"I am the Duel Medic here, this duel shouldn't have happened WITHOUT a Duel Medic," shouted Isisa

"Well, we did try and stop it but, it is too risky to even try to help either one of them," explained Mokuba

"Isisa calm down, just breath, you don't want a panic attack" said Seto grabbing Isisa by the shoulders and holding her close

"We'll figure something out"

"You better," said Isisa looking at the duel in front of her

Serenity could not understand the confusion going on, she had just met this Isisa and she couldn't quite grasp on what was going on, she started to take off her bandages when she heard Téa,

"Serenity don't take off your bandages, not yet," begged Téa from her position

"Serenity, if anyone can save you brother, Yugi can" said Mai as she placed her arm around Serenity's shoulder.

"Oh, he better I have to give those two a talking to" said Isisa still in Seto's grasp

"Just calm down girl, everything will be just fine," said Mai

"At least, Duelist Kingdom wasn't cluttered with Duel Medic's" mocked Mai

"Oooooooo, let me at her" said Isisa

"CALM down" ordered Seto and after that Isisa shut up

Everyone had noticed that when Seto had let Isisa go, she didn't say a word to any one. It wasn't until the duel was close to being done that Isisa spoke,

"Do you think he will win?" she asked in her smallest voice

"Who, Yugi yea I think he will" said Mai looking at the younger women in front of her

As the duel continues, Téa calls out to them to stop the duel now! Forget about her, just save Yugi and Joey. The Rare Hunter steps out of the cab of his crane, holding up the remote control menacingly. Mokuba urges Kaiba not to let Téa get hurt for she saved his life after all! Kaiba thinks there might be a way, and speaks into his lapel radio.

Seto looked at Isisa, he knew she was worried for the lives of all of the people involved. He had regretted snapping at Isisa, but he needed to be able to figure out what was going on and have no panic attacks and other interference.

As everyone watches the duel thirty seconds remain on the countdown.

[NO, its to late] thought Kaiba

But then the Kaiba Corp helicopter rises over the pier.

"Who is flying the helicopter?" asked Tristan

"It is remote controlled," said Mokuba

The helicopter flies towards the crate hanging over Téa, as Kaiba reaches for his deck. He draws, and flings a card towards the Rare Hunter, knocking the remote out of his hand. He then asks the Queen of Dueling (to give him luck and let him draw a good card. As he throws it, he asks it to forgive him) and shot the card into the Rare Hunter's hand.

The Rare Hunter dives for it for the remote that fell out of his hand, but Kaiba leaps on him and pushes him aside. The helicopter snags the cable holding the crate over Téa and pulls it away from her, into the sea. The bomb explodes harmlessly under water.

The gang rushes to Téa, Mokuba releasing the restraints holding her in the chair.

(From the Japanese version)

Kaiba walks towards the downed Rare Hunter, he grabs the card that cut the Rare Hunter. He then sees that it's the Blue Eyes White Dragon,

[I'm such a good drawer] thought Kaiba to himself

The Yugi tells Joey there's not much time. There's no point in both of them losing, so he's decided to save Joey. Joey says he can't let Yugi do it, but, with tears streaming down his face, Yugi says it's his decision. Joey starts to cry, too, protesting, but Yugi orders Mystical Rift Panel to attack him. Yugi is hit by the blast. Everyone cries out and runs towards him as Yugi falls through the smoke to the ground, his life points going to zero.

Joey's box opens, presenting him with the key to unlock his shackle,

[There is no time, but I have to save Yugi] Joey thought at the timer reaches zero and begins to tick off the second countdown.

"Joey, you have thirty seconds to free yourself before the anchor falls" says Yugi as he lifts his head

"Don't give up, I-I think of something" yells Joey

Yugi pulls off his Duel Disk and sets it aside, that is when Joey realizes that Meteor of Destruction has another effect,

[Since Yugi still has a monster on the field, I can force it to attack me] thought Joey

" This duel isn't over yet," says Joey

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon to attack me" ordered Joey

Now Joey's life points are reduced to zero, too, and Yugi's key is revealed.

Serenity then takes her bandages off, and throws them into the sky. Slowly her eyes open, and the sight she sees is her brother taking off his Duel Disk and Yugi's Puzzle, then using the chain of his shackle to leap across the dock to Yugi.

The countdown reaches zero and the anchor falls just as Joey is reaching for Yugi's key. He manages to grab it as the anchor drags him down. Yugi also slides into the sea. Tristan runs for Joey, their fingers almost touching before Joey is dragged under the water. Téa and the others gather on the side of the dock.

Joey swims over to Yugi and unlocks his shackle, and watches him float to the surface, mentally telling Yugi he's the best friend he ever had, and thanking him.

Yugi breaks the surface, and Tristan dives in to grab him and bring him over to the dock, as Téa pulls Yugi out of the water.

Just then, Isisa ran towards Yugi. She had turned him on to his back to see if he was breathing and he wasn't. She started doing CPR as Mokuba says that Joey never took his key. Tristan tells Mokuba to go get it, and Mokuba turns to run to the other side of the dock, but Serenity's already got it, and is diving into the ocean after her brother.

While this is all happening Joey's on his last breath, trying to unlock his shackle with Yugi's key, but it won't work. As his lungs give out, he sees shadowy form swimming towards him, and wonders if it's Yugi. Then Serenity unlocks his shackle, and the two of them swim back to the surface. When Joey broke the surface, Tristan and Mokuba grabbed him and placed him on the dock. Isisa then started to bark orders on how to check on breathing and such. It wasn't until Yugi came to, that Joey followed a few moments later.

Isisa stabilized Yugi, and started to check on the other areas as well as the burns that he had received earlier. When Joey brought the Puzzle back to Yugi did, Yugi clue in that Isisa was checking him out did he flinch as squirm,

"Isisa are you done," begged Yugi trying to avoid her touch

"Yugi, if you don't stop moving around I will ask Kaiba over there to hold you down" threatened

"No, I'll behave," said Yugi rather quick

As soon as Isisa was done with Yugi, while telling him that he needs rest and proper looking after. After that was all done, she ran to the other side where Joey was slowly regaining consciousness. She then stabled him and told him the same thing she had told Yugi to rest. When Isisa had done with Joey and had returned to Seto's arms.

When Joey stood up and walked off the dock he goes up Serenity and asks how she got there. She then explains that Tristan and Mai brought her.

Joey greets Yugi happily,

[How cute. The geeks are back together again] thought Seto as Isisa walked towards him, looking rather exhausted

On the dock, Joey apologizes to Yugi. Yugi says it's okay; it wasn't Joey's fault. In the end, he not only saved their friendship, he saved Yugi. Joey says he had no choice. Once he had realized what he was doing, he had to save Yugi or die trying! Yugi tells him again it's okay, but Joey says that Marik made a total fool of him! How can he show his face at the finals now?

The Mai steps up to give Joey a good talking-to by slapping him in the face, Joey goes down due to the blow, and when he gets up, he hears Isisa's laugh ringing out.

He stood up, and rubs his cheek and looks at Mai and

Mai tells Joey he showed real courage, just like he did at Duelist Kingdom when he dueled for his sister. He's Serenity's idol. Joey says what kind of idol gets turned into a zombie and almost destroys his best friend!

Tristan tells Joey to stop feeling sorry for himself. Serenity gets her strength from her brother for that's why she waited until now to take her bandages off.

Joey finally notices that Serenity can see now. She tells him that the first thing she saw was Joey saving Yugi—he showed her what real courage is. She made it through her operation because of him. They hug, and everyone watches happily.

As the gang stands looking out over the ocean, Joey gives Yugi back his Puzzle, thanking him for everything. Joey thinks he's the luckiest guy in the world to have friends like these!

Yugi holds his Puzzle, thanking the Pharaoh for trusting him enough to let him handle it on his own. He says they make a good team, but it's nice to know he has the strength to stand on his own, and Yami helped him find that strength.

Off to the side, Kaiba stands watching the gang, with Mokuba and Isisa beside him. He says let's go and turns to walk away. Yugi calls to him, thanking him for his help. Kaiba says he did what he had to do, and he'll see them at the Battle City finals.

Yugi thinks that in all this excitement, he forgot about the finals! That may be where Marik comes after him next. The Pharaoh thinks that whenever Marik comes back he'll be ready for him.
