I just felt the rush of water tickling down my cheeks, my eyes began to
close again until I realized, 'MOKUBA!' I turned to his limp body, which
lay beside mine. My hand was clutched with the key I had grabbed before
being flung into the depth of the bay, 'I still might be able to save him!'
I swam as far up as I could, the anchor was still dropping with each second dragging both of us with it. Though many things were racing though my mind, I was able to concentrate just enough to release Mokuba.
It was hard to watch him drift up to the surface, like a balloon. But I knew that like I told him, if I had a choice of which one of us would get out alive, it would be him.
Now I looked at my shackle, which was digging into my ankle. A red liquid began to float slowly to the surface of the water. The pain reached though my knee, but for the time being I ignored it and fit the key into it.
'It's not working!' Again and again I tried. My heart fell into my stomach, I had hope. That just for one moment, I would be able to see Mokuba again . . .I was as good as dead. My hand let go of the key, and I let the smallest things I held close to me go. (Which isn't very much, needless to say . . .)
I was dead.

-Yugi's POV-
We all stood dumbfounded for a few seconds, "GUYS! COME ON, WE HAVE TO HELP THEM!" Téa was content with the idea and even Joey, who really hates Kaiba, was willing to help.
"HEY GUYS!" My brain knew the voices all but one. I turned around: Mai, Tristan, Duke, and Serenity just arrived in a violet convertible. They hopped out of the car and all rushed over to use (Except for Serenity, who still had those bandages on . . .Duke was running and leading her into the pier WITHOUT trying to give her an unexpected bath in the sea . . .)
Joey, ran over to Serenity, "SERENITY!"
"JOEY!" They embraced and Serenity pulled off her bandages, "I get to see you FINALLY!" Doing the mini-reunion, I told the others about what had happened. They too, saw it as I did.
Tristan nodded, "Well, he's a jerk but we can't just let Kaiba and his little brother drown can we?" With us all in complete agreement, we walked over to the pool of water where we last saw the bodies of Seto and Mokuba Kaiba.
We all stared at it, as though we had no idea what to do. Tristan said the first words "What . . .what should we do?"
"Whatcha askin' me for? It's not my fault Kaiba went swimming."
"We have to help him! DUH!" I felt a sudden urge to fall over and start crying. My knees felt faint, not because I lost the Millennium Puzzle but because of what had happened to both Seto and Mokuba Kaiba.
I couldn't hold it back anymore. Gushes of sparking cerulean tears streamed down my cheeks, " . . .why . . .why does it have to end this way? WHY DO THEY BOTH HAVE TO DIE!"

-Joey's POV-
Me, knowin' Yug as well as anyone, had never seen him act like dis before. And for Kaiba of all people! (Well . . .den again, tat's Yug . . .)
Just den, all of us saw somethin' pop out of da water. Much ta our dismay, it was Mokuba who had somehow escaped from dat chain anchor thingy. (GO MOKUBA! GO MOKUBA! GO MOKUBA!)
"I got it!" Tristan jumped into da small pool of water what surrounded us, "he's still alive guys!" I felt a ting of relif inside of my body. 'Well, at least one of dem Kaiba brother is ok.'
We lugged him up onta da pier, "S-Seto . . .I-I gotta save Seto . . ." he whispered to himself. I saw Serenity finger though his raven hair, tellin' him it's gonna be ok. (Tat's Serenity! My sis!) He smiled at her for a sec, then his head lunged over unconscious.
All of us but Serenity went back to the pool of water where we found him (Serenity said tat she's a good comforter so she'd be able to help him. Ah . . .what would we all do wit out her?)
"So I guess dis means Kaiba's still down there." I said.
"Yeah, Mr. Point-Out-the-Obvious-A-Lot!" I growled like a dog. 'Tis isn't good . . .he can't last much longer.'

-Seto's POV-
I felt more and more fatigued as every last second went by. 'I . . .must . . .stay . . .strong.' But even the strong die at some point, and I figured that out long before all of this came about. Gozabura Kaiba, my stepfather, I had to admit was strong himself. I though he was Satan at time but yes, I had to admit he was strong.
But when I told him I was talking over Kaiba Corp., I found his weakness and with that he died. I hate to admit it, but I do have a weakness. And I will find out today if I can overcome it and survive.
And if I don't, what more can I say.

-Joey's POV-
Finally, Tristan jumped into da water, "Give me the key guys! I'm going down there!" Yugi nodded and walked over to the chest where the key was but I got there first. I clinched it and jumped in recklessly, 'What am I thinkin'? (What do yah all tink da answer is? Nothin'!) Kaiba hates me and I'm savin' him!' A paddled down deeper and deeper till I saw him. The guy looked like an old man, (and I mean it too!) his face was pruney and wrinkled. And the once ruthless, powerful Seto Kaiba was pulled back down ta earth as a pile of dust.
I had ta admit, Kaiba looked pretty desperate but I helped da jerk out anyways. (Since I'm such a good person!)
I grabbed his foot and unlocked the little shackle ting (Kaiba didn't even notice me! He just drifted . . .and stared . . .drifted . . .and stared. And stared some more and drifted. HA! You get da point!) So I became a superhero and did what all of da heroes do, I flung Kaiba's thin arms over my shoulder blade and zoomed up to the surface. (Which, by da way, if more difficult den it looks! If YOU had ta lug around a 6 ft. 4 dude, you'd be feelin' da same way as me!)
We finally, FINALLY, FINALY broke da surface. Kaiba, like me (So maybe more den me) was panting but in da process sayin', "Wheeler . . why the heck did you save me?"
"Look, Kaiba, I hate yah more den anyone here but, cha know tat I wouldn't let yah die over dis little shenanigan. So . . .ah . . .don't take it personal I just . . .didn't wantcha ta die," Kaiba eyed me carefully so I figured I had to make like a punch line or somethin', "before I beat you!"
He smirked, "You beat me, I'd like to see that someday! Maybe when the apocalypse comes Wheeler!" I smiled, 'Kaiba' back.' Not brainwashed or nothin'.
I couldn't help but feel da slight relief but . . .hey! I was happy! Kaiba . . .was back ta bein' Kaiba.
