Chapter 38
Joey and the tohers arrived in Kaiba's monitor room.
"Allright, good to be back!"said Joey.
"Hey guys, where's Yugi?"asked Tea.
Everyone looked around the room, Yugi was nowhere to be found.
"I guess he couldn't come back"said Joey dissapointedly.
"Well, there dosen't seem to be any actual winner in Battle City. I guess we can call it no contest"said Kaiba.
"Welcome back"greeted Malik.
"Hey guys!"said Joey.
"You know, I think I liked your other half better, at least he didn't turn into a geek like Joey"said Kaiba.
Malik ignored them.
"Hey, Joey hun!"
Malika sidestepped as Mai came running through.
"Hey Mai, welcome back!"said Joey.
"Nice to see you up and running again"said Tea.
"How do you feel Mai?"asked Serenity.
"Never better! Now, let's get off blimp and head home!"said Mai.
"Uh, there's a slight problem with that"said Mokuba.
"Like what?"asked Kaiba.
"Well, take a look at where our blimp went"said Mokuba looking on the radar.
Kaiba looked at the radar, and gasped in horror.
"Kaiba, what is it?"asked Tea.
"Our blimp! While we were gone, our blimp traveled!"gasped Kaiba.
"So, we're home?"asked Serenity.
"Not even close, we're in America!"gasped Kaiba.
"What! America! Oh well, we'll just turn the blimp back home. Sure, it'll take awhile but heck, I think we'll live through it"said Joey.
"It's not that easy Wheeler, our blimp's just about out of gas, we're stuck here"said Kaiba.
Everyone else on the ship gaspsed in horror.
"We can't survive here! We barely know enough about this place to survive for a week!"said Joey.
"Okay, let's not panick"said Mokuba.
"What do you mean not panick, no gas means no way home which means we're stuck in a foreign country with no way to live!"said Joey shaking him anime style.
"C'mon, let's be sensible here. If we're going to ever find a way home, we have to be calm"said Tea.
"We have to land the blimp now! If we don't, we'll crash"said Kaiba.
"Um, Seto? I don't think we came to America unoticed"said Mokuba pointing down.
Kaiba looked down to see tons of civilians staring at there blimp and murmering.
"No problem! Using my Millenium Rod, I can take control of their minds just long enough to erase their memories of this after we land"said Malik.
"Impossible!"said Ichizu as she and Rashid walked in.
"What do you mean sister, I can do it! Besides, it's for a good cause!"said Malik.
"Look at the number of people down there, do you think you can reach out to all of them? Your former army of rare hunters is only o 4th of the people down there. You could destroy yourself and your rod doing it"said Ichizu.
"Well I have to try. It's our only chance"said Malik.
"Allright, I'm landing the ship. Go for it Malik, and hurry up!"
"Allright Malik, you can do this!"he thought.
He hoisted his Rod, and focused his powers on the minds of all the people he could see. It was diddicult, but he pushed himself to get into all of their minds. Now for erasing ther memories of the blimp. He dug deeper then he ever had with his Rod, feeling the stress on his body.
"Malik!"gasped Rashid.
"Malik, stop this! The strain is too much!"said Ichizu.
"N-no"said Malik still going.
Malik panted hard as his body was feeling itself be overwhelmed, his mind as well. But it was working. The people were forgetting about the blimp, no longer able to even see it.
The citizens shook their heads as though they were daydreaming and went back to their buisness. Malik fell, Rashid catching him.
"Allright Malik, you did it!"said Joey.
"Are you allright Malik?"asked Rashid.
"Yes, I'm fine"said Malik as the blimp landed.
"Hey, wait a minute! Seto, didn't you bring an extra fuel of gas?"
"Maybe, I'll go check"said Kaiba dashing off.
"Great job Malik!"said Tea.
"You were really brave"said Serenity.
"For a creep, you were sure noble"said Mai.
"Mokuba, we have an extra tank! We can head back to Domino!"
Everyone cheered except for Rashid and Ichizu, who remained solemn.
"Hey, what's your name, Rashid, give me a hand. I need someone strong to help me out here"called Kaiba.
Rashid walked out to meet Kaiba.
"Move it! Don't just walk!"said Kaiba.
"I'll move at my own pace"said Rashid.
"No, no you won't! Move yourself down here right now! Or else that face will look 10 times worse then before!"
"You are of no threat to me"
"You wanna bet? Move it!"
Everyne laughed as Rashid continued to walk a snale's pace towards Kaiba.
"We'll be here all day at this rate!"said Kaiba.
"I walk my own pace"repeated Rashid.
"Don't make me drag you down here!"
"Hey Joey, thanks for beating that Yami Malik creep"said Mai giving Joey a smooch, causing him to fall over backwards.
"Joey, are you allright?"asked Serenity.
"Oh, he'll be fine"giggled Tea. *****************************************************
After hours of flight, they finally arrived at Dmoni(and a few more hours because of Rashid and Kaiba's arguing.
"I thank you once again Joey Wheeler, for saving Malik"said Rashid.
"No worries man! Hey Malik, that evil side comes back, just come back here and I'll whoop his sorry keaster!"said Joey.
"Yes, I shall"giggled Malik.
"Thank you Joey. We shall not forget this"said Ichzu as their boat leaft.
"See you around"said Mai hopping into her car.
"Allright, see ya!"said Joey.
"Don't forget Joey, you still owe me a rematch!"said Mai as they drove away.
"Yeah, uh, right"said Joey blushing.
"Well, I guess we should all be heading home.See ya Joey, see ya Serenity!"said Tea running off.
"I'll see you again as well"said Kaiba as he and Mokuba entered the limo.
"C'mon Serenity, I'll walk ya home"said Joey.
"Joey, thanks for everything"said Serenity.
"Hey, I owe you too. If it weren't for your inspiration, I would've never gotten that money for your operation. I just wish I could've saw ya in action today sis"said Joey.
"I wasn't that good"said Serenity.
"You whooped a Big 5's keaster, that's gotta be good for something! Plus your older brother is Joey Wheeler, the winner of Battle City!"
"But Kaiba said it was no contest"said Serenity.
"We can work around it"said Joey.
After awhile of walking, it was night time, and Serenity and Joey were just outside of her house.
"Well, this is it. It was good seeing you again"said Joey.
"It was good to see you"said Serenity.
"Serenity, about, oh, hello Joseph, how did you do?"asked Mrs Wheeler.
"C'mon Mom, call me Joey. I did fine, we just got back a little late"said Joey.
"Awfuly late I should say. Well at least you're home safe. It's awfuly late, why don't you stay the night/'asked Mrs Wheeler.
"Really? Allright! What do ya say Serenity?"
"That would be great!"said Serenity.
"Wow, I beat yami Malik and saved the world, whooped some Big 5 and Noah but with Yugi, and even got a kiss from Mai. Well Yugi, wherever you are, looks like we're both heroes"thought Joey.
