~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kaylynn was already on it, she jumped out of her Fairy King's arms and plummeted towards the earth, making both Seto and the fairy cry out in surprise. She managed to fall fast enough to catch the former Pharaoh, but then realization hit and she knew she was street pizza any ways, she clutched the slim form of yami to her and closed her eyes, bracing herself for the landing that would happen any second now-only to be met with landing on something soft. She opened her eyes and looked down, then she gasped loudly. Sure enough, she was on the ground but her Fairy King was under her, wincing in obvious pain,

"No!" she cried, crawling carefully off of him, laying yami down next to her monster to allow him to come to grips, she lifted her Fairy King's head and laid it in her lap, "speak to me! are you alright? Fairy King?" she asked, he'd fallen after her and had stopped the fall with his own body, she was moved to tears, which hung loosely from her eyelashes, threatening to fall at any second, "I'll kill him..." she hissed, hugging her Fairy King before putting him back into his card state, "I'll kill who ever it is that's doing this to us...i won't let him go without a fight." Just as these words left her mouth, the Blue Eyes landed next to her, glowing as it turned back into a card, Kaylynn turned to face Seto, who ran over to her and Yami, who was standing up shakily.

"Kaylynn!" seto cried, clutching her to him, "are you alright?"

"I-I'm fine, seto. Don't worry." Then she pushed away from him and turned in the direction they'd been heading, "now, let's go."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryou glared down at Malik, who was cowering away from him,

"what did you think you were trying to do?" he snapped harshly, pointing one of his throwing knives at the frightened Egyptian, "break the hold of whatever it is that you say bindes me?" he lightly pushed up on malik's chin with the flat of the blade, forcing him to look at him, "and, you honestly expected to succeed?" Malik let the tears eating away at the sides of his eyes fall, surprising Ryou, who took a step back, the coldness in his eyes ebbing a bit, "wha..."

"Ryou!" malik cried, lunging forward and grabbing the thin wrists of the boy so-named, making him drop his knives in surprise. Malik took this opportunity to rush him backwards into the nearby wall, making the ivory haired boy gasp in surprise, he looked into malik's face and gasped again at what he saw there, a look of pure anger and determination, "ryou, I don't wanna hurt you. but, you're leaving me no other alternative. Ryou, you've got to wake up!" malik screamed, making the smaller boy cry out in surprise at his sudden outburst and cringe away from the blonde, shuddering slightly, "if you can't wake up by yourself, then I'll have to wake you on my own!" malik snapped, then he was surprised to find the smaller boy burst into tears and try weak attempts at breaking free from Malik's hold. Malik took a few steps back and allowed Ryou to fall, he was hugging himself loosely and gasping for air between sobs, well, at the least, he was back to the fragile, breakable boy he'd been before, right? Malik fell down onto his knees and hugged Ryou to him, making the ivory haired boy gasp in some fear, then relax and latch onto malik,

"what did I do? Why...? why did I...?" ryou managed, before a familiar laugh made the two look up,

"well, aren't you two cute?" the dragon sneered, Malik clutching Ryou to him, knowing the boy couldn't take much more before he broke completely, "oh, don't worry, he's done his job, now all I need is his soul, then, I'll let him go."

"What?! No!" Malik cried, standing up with Ryou and moving away, hopelessly. It's over...this freak is gonna steal Ryou's soul, then do Ra knows what to me and Anthy...i'm sorry, guys...

~so that's it?~

huh?! K-Kay...

~is this your idea of protecting the ones you care about? You're just gonna...give up...? just like that?~

What else is there to do? I'm trapped...so is Ryou, we're doomed anyways...

~Well, with an attitude like *that* no shit ya are. But, just hold your breath for a sec and close your eyes, I know what I'm doing!~

What? What're you-

~Ok, Seto, let'er-rip!~ with that said, a blast of energy and a familiar voice ordering the command 'White Lightning' the wall behind them was gone, knocking back the dragon with the force of the blast, burying him under the rubble of the former wall. The smoke from the crumbling wall cleared after a time, revealing Yami, Ishtaru, Bakura, Kaylynn, Seto, a Blue Eyes White Dragon, the Dark Magician, the Dark Necrophilia, the big, creepy mask monster thing, and the Fairy King Trusedale.

"Guys!" Malik yelped happily, Kaylynn running to them,

"are you two all right? Where the hell are we?" she asked, Ryou looking up at her, then clinging back on to Malik's shirt tighter, "eehh...?"

"he's a little freaked out." Malik said, sweatdroping, Kaylynn shrugged, then asked where Anthy was, "Right down there." Malik said, pointing to the hallway they'd been in, Kaylynn turned back to the group and gave them an 'I told ya so' look, the four boys only mumbling or coughing as they diverted their attention else-where,

"come on, ya bunch 'a losers! We gotta go find Anthy!" she snapped, her Fairy King waging his finger accusingly at the four other Duel Monsters, making them shift a bit, he was the most powerful-a custom made Fairy King for the neice of Pegasus J. Crawford (A/N: *cring*cring*)-at 5000 Attack Points and 4000 Defense Points (A/N: damn straight he was custom made! The real card's only slightly less powerful then the Dark Magician!). then he led the way down the hall, Kaylynn and Malik next, Malik holding Ryou in his arms, the boy half way in shock, then everyone else, Seto putting his Blue Eyes back into its card form in the narrow corridors.

"Anthy!" Yami cried, finding her a bloody mess on the ground, the group ran to her, the Dark Magician and the mask thingy keeping watch by the doorway for any signs of the dragon,

"Damn!" Kaylynn snapped, kneeling next to her friend, "Fairy King, can you heal her?" she asked her monster, who nodded, then pointed his staff at Anthy and glittering shards floated forward and flowed into the wounds, dissolving them into nothingness. Anthy stirred and blinked her eyes opened slowly, looking at her friends, then she was met with a severe glomping from Yami who cried and babbled about how happy he was to see her, Anthy smiled and hugged him,

"I missed you too, Yami." She said quietly, then Seto suggested they scram out of the place, getting no objections, they ran for it.

"So, what exactly happened back there?" Kaylynn asked Anthy, who was being carried by Kaylynn's Magician of Black Chaos, Yami in the arms of his Dark Magician, Seto, Ishtaru, and Bakura on the Blue Eyes and Malik and Ryou on the Winged Dragon of Ra.

"Well, I got the shit beat atta me, was threatned with the lives of my friends, watched Ryou and that dragon destroy most of Egypt while Ryou was under the dragon's control, and then I got rescued."

"happy end." Kaylynn said with a big smile, Anthy laughed and nodded,

"Well, what'd I miss?" Anthy asked,

"Well, Yami went skitsofrenic, I snapped on a few people, we then got lost in the woods, after my Fairy King broke our fall, right?" she asked him, he made a pained face and nodded, Kaylynn laughed, "oh, he remembers." She said, then she continued, "then, we went to that um...place that the...dude...was...in and...um...Seto!" she cried helplessly, making the CEO burst into laughter-not moniacle, real laughter, which was rare to hear from the somber boy.

"We ran around that dragon's hideout for a bit, then we found you after rescuing Malik and Ryou, who seem to have gotten very close..." seto teased, grinning at the two light haired boys, Malik giving him a nasty look, then softening as he looked down at the sleeping Ryou leaning against his chest,

"Aaaawwww!" the females of the group cooed at the adorable ivory haired boy as he slept (A/N: can you just picture that?! Kawaiiness up the wazoo!)

"What's he got that I don't?" a very sensitive Bakura snapped, glaring at his hikari,

"innocence." Ishtaru whispered dangerously low in the feind's ear, making him shiver and melt right there, the rest of the group looking away and humming or whistling or doing whatever, the Dark Magician, Chaos Mage and Fairy King exchanging looks of confusion as to what the hell was going on, Kaylynn shook her head,

"I can't believe you two...what a waste of two perfecting attractive guys..." Ishtaru glared at her,

"my bitch, my business." He sneered at her, then Seto came to her rescue,

"then keep it to yourself."

"Do I get a bitch?" Kaylynn asked,

"sure." Anthy said,

"Really?"

"Yea, pick someone."

"Seto, you are now my bitch."

"I am bitch to no one."

"Waaaaaanna bet?"

"fine. But not in public."

"You're secret's safe with us, Seto."

"Some how, Malik, I doubt any secret is safe with you."

"ha, ha..."

"Hey, An, who's your bitch?" Kaylynn asked, looking at her friend, who only laughed and grinned at her,

"guess."

"Yami!"

"yes. How'd you guess so quickly?" she asked sarcasticly,

"he's blushin'."

"I didn't think anything on the planet could turn that color." Anthy said, then the group burst out laughing, Yami snapping at them to shut up.
