Author's note-thanks to all who reviewed and someone let me know of the name of the character who is with Seto when he's chained up so thank you ;) and I was also alerted of a spelling error I had OOPS! I would also like to say that I know I'm going pretty fast through the story line, but that is because I'm trying to get us to where Seto and Cat are together, but I'll try to start being more detailed. And thanks again for all you reviewers. I really appreciate the response.
The group made it to the end of the desert without much problem, except for a sandstorm monster in the middle. But Joey quickly eliminated the problem with his Red Eyes. Once at the end the group came across a temple.
"Come on. I bet Kaiba is in there." Yugi said as the made their way inside. Once inside they found themselves at the beginning of an enormous maze.
"Looks like we are going to have to maneuver our way across." Cat said as they slowly advanced. It wasn't long when they heard a scream. The group ran forward, but stopped suddenly when they came to a crossroads.
"Oh, no," Joey moaned. "Which way are we supposed to go?"
"I don't think that is our main problem Joey." Mai said with a surprised look on her face.
"What are you…Oh." Joey said as he spied the four armored tanks coming. One from each direction. Yugi pulled a card from his deck.
"Magical Hats!" he yelled. The hats covered the group and transported them to safety.
"Good call Yugi." Mokuba praised.
"Hey, look a fairy!" Joey said as he climbed out from under the hat. Flying in the air was a tiny fairy. Making a decision the group decided to follow the little fairy. The fairy led them to a little girl. Cat gasped in shock when she saw her face.
"Is it just me, or does she look a lot like Mokuba?" Cat asked.
"Hey, wow!" Joey added. "She does."
"Are you all right?" Mokuba asked helping her up.
"Yes, I was in the maze and I lost my companion, Aero. She's a fairy." The girl said.
"Well, lucky for you, we found her." Mai said as Aero fly toward the girl.
"Oh good, Aero can help us get out of the maze." The girl said.
The group followed Aero as they made their way through the maze. They stopped suddenly at the end of the maze.
"Please tell me that isn't the Gate Guardian!" Joey said as the gigantic monster came into view.
"Don't worry Joey, We've beat him once and we can do it again." Yugi said drawing his Summoned Skull. Joey then drew his Red Eyes and fused it with Yugi's Skull. Then he added Dragon Nails to their combined monster allowing their monster to defeat the Guardian and continue through. The girl stared at them with wonder in her eyes.
"You are so strong, you must be the warriors of legend." She said with an adoring look. "Please, you must come to the palace with me." She urged. The others looked at one another and shrugged. "Why not?" Yugi said. As they agreed to go.

Seto strained at the chains holding him hostage against the stone slab.
"You can struggle all you want Kaiba." The witty phantom said in a mocking tone. "But you won't get free."
"Computer, stop the game!" Seto said trying to using his voice control programming.
The witty phantom smirked. "I give you points for ingenuity, but that won't work either. We have taken full control of this game. But don't worry, you won't be missing your program long." The phantom said noticing the evil look on Seto's face.
"Because, we are going to sacrifice you and other person to summon the mystical dragon. Care to take a guess as to who the other person will be Kaiba?" the phantom mocked as Seto's face went pale.
"You better leave Cat alone or else!" Seto threatened.
"Tisk tisk tisk. You really aren't in any position to be making threats Kaiba." The Phantom said shaking him finger. "Don't worry, you won't be missing your dead girlfriend long. You will die right after she does." The phantom laughed evilly as he faded out of sight. Seto clenched his hands then frowned. 'Why do I care so much about that girl?' he thought. 'She's Yugi's sister for crying out loud.' He thought angrily. 'Is it possible I like her?' Seto shook his head knowing full well that no matter how much he denied it he did care. He cared a lot and that made him all the more eager to escape his chains and get to her. 'I won't let anything happen to her!' he promised himself as he kept struggling at the chains
