Author's Notes: This is a short chapter. I had a horrible weekend and I can't seem to concentrate yet. I was planning on romance in this chapter but a great idea came to me and I've decided to alter it and make this a slightly humours chapter. Chapter 15 will be big! I can say that much! This was just an add-on. Chapter 15 should be up in a few days, maybe even tomorrow. Thanks for the reviews!

Chapter 14:

Chaos!

Téa watched nervously as the cage swayed back and forth. If she could just reach the other cage, she could warn Bakura. Below her, Yami was struggling with his chains. He saw Téa and his eyes went wide.

"Téa!" He stood up, but the chains restrained his movement. He grunted. "Don't move Téa! Bakura will be fine! Trust me!"

Téa nodded and slowly sat back down in the cage, next to Ishizu.

Yami turned to face Bakura's cage. "Bakura? Bakura! Can you hear me?"

Yami Bakura stirred a little. His eyes flicked open. "What…? Yami?" He asked, groaning. His head was pounding.

"Don't move, Bakura! That cage is set to blow with any sudden movement!"

Yami Bakura's eyes went wide, but he didn't make a single movement. "Who's sick idea was this?" He spat bitterly.

Yami shook his head. "Marik's other half."

Yami Bakura growled. "Bastard…doesn't know when to quit." He looked over at Téa. "Are you alright?" He asked.

Téa sighed. "As best as I can be seeing as I am in a cage that could BLOW any second." She started to freak out. Ishizu tried to steady her. "Where is that Kaiba anyways?"

Ishizu looked down. "Kaiba won't be too happy with me…"

Téa looked up, cocking her head to the side. "Why?"

"I…I lost Mokuba. Marik…I mean Marik's other half…took him somewhere…I couldn't save him…and…"

Before she could continue a loud rumbling noise caused her to look up. A big airship was above the cage. Kaiba was looking down at her, his arms crossed. "What did you say happened to Mokuba?"

"I…" Ishizu began.

Téa interrupted. "How about helping us before we talk about that, huh?"

Kaiba shook his head. "I don't know how to defuse a bomb… Téa." He said plainly.

Everyone went silent.

"I…I do…t…though…" Came a raspy voice from the shadows. Marik limped out, cut and bleeding a bit.

"Marik!" Téa cried.

Marik grinned and limped over to the cage.

"What happened?" Téa asked, her eyes shinning with concern.

"I had a bad run in with my lesser half…" he muttered as he looked underneath the cage, trying to find the wires. "I'm alright though…just a few bruised ribs that's all." He smirked as he found the wires. "I'll have you out in a minute."

Téa grabbed his wrist. "No, help Bakura first." She asked with pleading eyes.

Marik studied her face closely and then sighed. "Very well…" He walked over to Bakura's cage and began to defuse the bomb. "So what's it like?" He asked casually.

Yami Bakura raised an eyebrow. "I have no idea what you mean." He whispered.

Marik laughed. "You should know. I mean about last night…" He looked up and arched an eyebrow. "What's it like to have a girlfriend?"

Yami Bakura blushed and looked away. "That's none of your business!"

Marik shook his head. "Whatever…" He stood up and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small pick and began to undo the latch on the cage. A shrieking sound caused him and Bakura to look up.

The cage holding Téa and Ishizu was being lifted off the ground. The girls were clinging tightly to each other and crying out. Yami Marik grinned evilly. "Let's see you try and defuse that cage now dear 'brother' He laughed.

Marik stood up and smirked. "I already did."

Yami Marik narrowed his eyes. "What?" He said darkly.

"Before Téa had a chance to stop me, I had already undone the wire."

Yami Marik growled and pulled back on a lever. The bottom of the cage fell away and the girls grabbed onto the steel bars, screaming.

Yami Bakura ran up to Yami Marik and punched him square in the jaw. "I should have done this to you long ago!"

Yami Marik clutched his jaw and rubbed it. "You'll pay for that!" He lunged at him, knocking them both off of the stage.

Téa watched the fight from high above. "Never look down…" She gulped, feeling dizzy at the fact she was dangling over a thousand feet above the arena. She almost lost her grip, but regained herself. "We can't jump! What are we going to do?" She cried.

Kaiba shouted out to them. "You're higher up then me, so I'll just bring the ship underneath you and you can jump in it.

Téa's eyes widened. "WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY? I'D RATHER DANGLE HERE THEN JUMP!"

"Téa! The cage is tipping! There's too much weight!" Ishizu stated.

Téa narrowed her eyes. "Are you saying I'm fat?"

Ishizu sweat-dropped. "Umm…now's really not the time!"

Kaiba shook his head. "Women…" He turned the ship around and brought it just a few feet underneath the cage. "Jump or fall, I really don't give a damn at this moment!" He shouted out over the loud engine.

Téa closed her eyes tightly. "Ishizu…you go first. If…if anything goes wrong…I'll be ok. Remember that!"

Ishizu wanted to protest, but she knew better. She looked down at Kaiba who was leaning against the wall. "Oh, don't you dare think you're going to stand there and watch me fall gracelessly on my butt! You're catching me!" She warned.

Kaiba rolled his eyes and positioned himself underneath her. "Fine…" He held his arms up with an unenthusiastic look on his face.

Ishizu let go of the bars. She cried out as she fell into the CEO's arms. Their eyes met and they stared at each other momentarily. Ishizu struggled out of his grip. "Put me down!" Her face was bright red. "Ok, Téa! Your turn!"

Téa nodded but then stopped when she felt a jerking of the cage. The rope holding it up was strained badly and about to snap. "That can't be good…" She thought, as the cage started to lower itself, just missing the ship. She reached out to Kaiba, but couldn't reach his hand. "Kaiba! Help!" She cried out as she started to fall faster.

"Jump and grab for my hand!" He cried out.

Téa gulped. "I don't really have a choice." She positioned herself on top of the cage and jumped, reaching for Kaiba's hand.

Kaiba caught her hand just as the cage gave out, plummeting to the stage below. "I've got you!" He felt slender arms wrap around his waits and pull.

"We've got you…" Ishizu said gently as her and Kaiba pulled Téa up and onto the ship.

Yami and Marik looked up and saw the cage coming down fast.

"Bakura get out of the way!" Yami shouted as he struggled with his bonds. Marik was trying to help him unlock his chains.

"Don't worry. It's not like it'll blow or anything." Marik assured.

"You bastard!" Yami Bakura shouted, choking the dark shadow below him. "You caused this! You caused all of this! I'll NEVER forgive you!"

"You sure have gotten sensitive…since you…got a girlfriend! Thief!" He shouted and choked at the same time.

Yami Bakura squeezed harder, smiling as the Yami Marik gasped for air. "It's time I ended this!"

Yami Marik's eyes widened, but not because of Bakura's threats. A giant steel cage was coming down fast. "Let me go! We need to get out of here or else!"

Yami Bakura laughed. "Or else what?"

Yami Marik gripped Yami Bakura's hands and tried to pry them off of his throat. "Or else we'll both be crushed!" He gasped.

Yami Bakura looked puzzled. He heard Yami's shouting and looked up. "Damn!" He shouted as he pulled Yami Marik up and threw them both out of the way.

The cage came crashing down and a loud explosion occurred, wiping out everything in its path.

Yami and Marik sweat-dropped. Yami looked over at Marik and Marik shrugged.

"I guess…I pulled the wrong wire…"

Meanwhile, Joey and Tristan were beginning a very loud duel. They were shouting and cussing and making quite the scene. Mai took this chance to seek by the distracted guards and climb the tall tower being blocked off. "Mokuba has to be here…this is the main building for the corp. And the logical place for him…I hope…" She stayed in the shadows as she climbed the long stairs. Little did she know…she was expected and it wouldn't be the best of greetings for the former blonde duellist.
