What Luck By: Inu Jounouchi / Neko Ryou fan A/N: This takes place before Yugi, Joey, Mai, and Bandit Keith were the finalists. Instead of Yugi going up against Kaiba, Joey did. Now Joey lost to Kaiba, Mai gave Joey 5 extra Star Chips she had, and Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Mai and Téa are going up the Pegasus's castle together. Mai lost against Joey and whatever happened to her?

-Chapter 3- (A Soul and a Sister to Save [Part one])

There was a light coming from Pegasus's Millennium Eye. It was pointed at Mai. Then all of a sudden, Mai's purple eyes became solid purple and she looked motionless. Pegasus held up a card with her on it. Joey looked up to it and his eyes began to get teary.

"Mai can't be gone!" Joey whispered. He just stood there looking at the empty body of Mai. He just ran out of the arena and up to Pegasus. "BRING HER BACK! PLEASE!!" Joey cried.

He ran up to Pegasus and tried to punch him but it failed. Pegasus just blocked his punch and pushed him onto the ground. Joey then got up and said, "Pegasus, when I get my chance to duel you I will win Mai's soul, the prize money, and all of the other people that you stole their soul!"

That Night [by the way, Yugi beat Bandit Keith, and because he cheated, he was thrown down a cliff like before.]

Joey looked at the ceiling in his room, tears in his eyes, remembering all the good and bad moments he's had with Mai. "Don't worry! Some way I'll get you back and with all of the prize money, help my sister Serenity get her eyesight back. Then I'll be happy." Then Joey drifted off into a deep sleep.

Joey's Dream

There were many strange things in Joey's dream. Yugi and Téa were dueling, Tristan was eating 20 pepperoni pizzas with double cheese and meatballs, Bakura was meditating, and Mai sat all alone in an open field with many flowers surrounding her. Joey walked over to her and they began to talk.

"Joey, I realize I may seem real, but this is just your dream. My soul was really stolen, and it is up to you or Yugi to help me. Please make me proud, and when I come back, I can duel you for fun, and I will win this time, got it?" Mai giggled happily and kissed Joey's lips, which made him blush like crazy.

'Oh yea, this is only a dream. But I wish it were real. Mai is gone, and I have to get her back!' Joey thought to himself. Then he woke up form a sound sleep hearing a very loud noise. It was coming from the front of the castle.

Back to reality

Joey ran to the front of the castle trying to see what it was. It was Mai's empty body, and Panik, one of the island's eliminators, holding it. She looked dead, but Joey couldn't picture that.

"What have you done with Mai?" Joey cried. "And hey, I thought Yugi destroyed you!"

"I am still alive, and when I saw her walking in the castle. I thought she was trespassing on Pegasus's secret stuff, so I just crashed her head with this pan, so she can't do any more snooping around." Panik laughed, opening up his gross mouth with black teeth.

"You jerk!" I SHOULD KILL YOU FOR THIS!!" Joey screamed, waking up the whole castle with his echo.

"Hey, that sounded like Joey!" Tristan said. "I should go see what's going on."

Joey tried with all his might to punch Panik, but Panik threw Mai into Joey and ran. Joey lifted Mai and she woke up to her self that was creepy. She got up and walked away.

"Mai, what happened to you?" Joey cried.

"Yo Joey!" Tristan shouted from the other end of the castle. "Are you ok?"

"I'm ok, but Mai isn't. I can't believe I let that happen to her." Joey sighed.

"Don't worry Joey, if you or Yugi defeats Pegasus, then she'll come back." Tristan reassured his friend.

"Tristan, it isn't that easy. I still need the money for my sister, remember." Joey reminded his friend.

"True, I forgot about that. Well, good luck to you buddy." Tristan said walking away from Joey.

Shaggie: More suspense! Joey vs. Yugi is next. Will Joey save his sister, Mai, Grandpa, and the Kaiba brothers? I guess you'll have to wait until. -Chapter 4- (One Last Chance [Part 2])
