Chapter 23

Regular Malik regained control of his body once again.

"My body, it's back"gasped Malik.

"Great job Joey, you saved the entire world"said Yugi.

"Thanks Yug, it feels good being a hero"said Joey.

"Wheeler actualy beat Yami Malik, when I, Seto Kaiba, the one who defeated Joey twice, couldn't. It makes no sense"thought Kaiba.

"Welcome back brother"said Ichizu walking up to him.

"Thanks Ichizu. Joey, thank you, and sorry. I took false vengance upon you f0or something neither you or the Pharoah did. I can never make up for what I did to you all, so I'll be leaving"said Malik.

The ship rumbled, causing Malik to fall backwards.

"What was that!"gasped Joey.

Kaiba and Mokuba dahsed to the control room, with the others following except Ichizu and Malik.

"Kaiba, what's happening?"asked Joey.

"We're being attacked, by our own missles!"gasped Kaiba.

"Your own missles! That means someone here must've hacked into your system"said Mokuba.

"Who here would want to do that?"asked Kaiba.

On a small monitor appeared the image of a boy about Mokuba's age with Blue hair and a Grey school like uniform.

"Hey, it's a kid. Is this some kind of hostage situation?"asked Joey.

"I don't see anybody guarding him"said Tea.

"Who are you! Are you the one attacking my ship!"demanded Kaiba.

"Well Kaiba, you're as smart as they say you are"said the kid.

"What do you want"asked Serenity.

"I want into your world"

"What's this kid talking about?"asked Joey.

"You see I am not human, at least not fully. After an accident, the only way I was able to survive was to create a virtual counterpart of myself. Now Kaiba, one of you is going to be the body"said the kid.

"You're insane!"said Kaiba.

"Who are you kid?"asked Tea.

"My name is Noah Kaiba"

"What! No way!"gasped Kaiba.

"You mean, you're Kiaba and Mokuba's brother"said Joey.

"Yes, father denighed my existense after the accident, and failed to mention anything about me"

"You're lying!"said Kaiba.

"There's only one way to settle this. You see Kaiba I'm not alone, along side me are the Big 5"

"The who?"asked Tea.

"The associates who betrayed me for Pegasus. They call themselves the big 5 now"said Mokuba.

"Yes. Now, each of the big 5 will be in a diffrent part of the virtual world. In order to escape, you must defeat all 5 of them, and me. However, should one of you be defeated, that person's body will be mine to take"said Noah.

"You maniac!"said Joey.

"Too late, let the game begin!" ***************************************************

Joey opened his eyes to find himself on a beach, wiith Kaiba, Tea, Serenity, and:Yugi?!

"Yugi! WHat are YOU doing here!"gasped Joey.

"Yugi!"gasped Kaiba and Mokuba in usion.

(Note:little yugi's in control since Yami's spirit broke up after Yugi's death)

"I guess I got a virtual body"said Yugi.

"Even if it is until we get out of here, it's nice to see ya Yug"said Joey.

"Yugi! OH I missed you!"said Tea practicly squeezing the life out of Yugi.

After she let him go, a splash of great size was heared. Everyone turned around to find some kind of scuba creature.

"What is that thing, somekind of duel monsters!"gasped Joey.

"I am the Deepsea Warrior"

It had an ATK of 1500 and DEF of 1800.

"Great, I guess we have to fight off some duel monsters too, so here-

Joey was interupted abruptly.

"I am one of the big 5. All of us take the form of a duel monster in this world. The rules we play by are special. We will use the Battle city rules, but both duelists now have what's called a Deck master. This monster is summoned before the duel begins. Since I take the form of Deepsea warrior, I am the chief monster. Whoever duels me will have to choose their chief monster. If your Chief monster is ever destroyed, you automaticly lose. The only way we can lose is if our lifepoints drop to 0"

"No fair!"said Joey.

"Tough, wanna cry about it?"asked Deepsea warrior.

"That's it, this punk's mine"said Joey.

"Wait Joey, I'll go first"said Yugi.

"Uh, are you sure?"asked Joey.

"Yeah, it's been awhile since I dueled so if I'm going to be of any use here I need to tune my dueling skills"said Yugi.

"If you say so. He's all yours bud"said Joey.

"Thank you"said Yugi.

"Be careful Yugi"said Tea.

"Well let's see how well Yugi's skills are after all this time"thought Kaiba.

"Seto, do you think Noah was telling the truth?"asked Mokuba.

"I don't know what that punk is thinking but I know if he was our brother I would've known it long before now"said Kaiba.

"Choose your Deck Master"said DeepSea warrior.

Next to Yugi an assesment of his monster cards were there for him to choose.

"Allright, I choose Dark Magic-

But Kuriboh popped out before Yugi could finish.

"Kurihboh? Interesting choice"said Deep Sea warrior as Yugi blushed.

"No fair, I wanted Dark Magician, not Kuriboh"said little Yugi.

"Go on Kuriboh, show them who the boss is"cheered Joey.

"Well since both of our masters are out, it's time to duel!"

DeepSea Warrior:4000 Yugi:4000

"I'll make the first move"said DeepSea warrior.

"Take that under water freak of nature down Yug"said Joey.

"I place one card face down, then play Umi. Now my special ability is active, when Umi is in play DeepSea warrior can't be affected by Magic cards when Umi is in play. Since DeepSea Warrior's my deck master, none of your magic cards will have any effect on me or any other monster on the field"

"Aw!"gasped Yugi.

"Now I play this monster and end my turn"

"Oh man, I forgot he could hide monsters underwater. To make things worse Yugi's Magic cards won't affect them because of DeepSea warrior"said Joey.

Yugi drew.

"I place 2 cards face down, then I summonCeltic Guardian"

It hadn an ATK of 1400 and DEF of 1200.

"Oh darn, Yugi died at duelist kingdom, he didn't get the chance to boost his deck you guys!"gasped Joey.

"Looks like Yugi's at a very grave disadvantage"thought Kaiba.

"Celtic guardian, attack whatever he has hidden!"

But when Celtic Guardian struck, he was swallowed whole.

Yugi:3400

"Sorry, Celtic Guardian was too weak"said DeepSea warrior.

"Let's see here, Celtic Guardian had an attack of 1400, and I lost 600 lifepoints, which means his creature has 2000 attack points. Darn, I wish I had the spirit to help me"thought Yugi.

"That's it"thought Yugi.

"Joey, hand me the puzzle, quickly!"said Yugi.

"Huh, oh sure"said Joey tossing it to him.

Yugi put it on.

"Please work"thought Yugi.

The eye in the middle of the puzzle glew, and the puzzle began to shake around.

"YUGIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Yami and Yug fused together, and Yami's eyes were fileld with confidence.

"DeepSea warrior, this duel isn't over yet!"said Yami.

"What is this! Did he transform or something, impossible"thought DeepSea warrior.

"Make your move!"demanded Yami.
