MUHAHAHAHAHAHA. This is where the fun will begin.

Eros: This is the chapter where...Joey sees 2 Mina's?! Wha? Ooh, just to make things happier Briefs might do something happy to the scouts. Who knows? Seto may get sentimental in this chapter!

Serena: *laughs out loud* I'd like to see that happen!

Me: Just by knowing Mai's and Ishizu's stats as duelists could you guess who could win out of that duel?

Disclaimer: all of you know by now that I do not own neither animes but just to remind you all I do not own Kids WB!!

Let's begin this!

*** REENIE'S POV****

Mai was the one who won. Everyone was happy about that. Ishizu did fore see it that she would lose, at least she wasn't against her brother which was really dangerous. But she says she's also foreseen that she has to stay for some odd reason. But her stay would be beneficial, she says.

Whatever floats her boat.

We had all gathered back once more in the banquet hall to see whom would go against whom. Not expecting that evil would go against the innocent in this upcoming choosing.

"With the tournament going smoothly, we are ready to choose our 3rd pair in the midst of the 2nd Annual Battle City Finals!" announced Mokuba. "Go ahead Roland! Do your stuff!"

"Absolutely sir! Selector, choose your 2 new opponents! Random Select!"

Every watched in eagerness to see who would be going up next.

"Everyone, we hope you remember your numbers."

1-Seto Kaiba

3-Yugi

5-Joey

6-Chaos Marik

The yellow lottery balls flied more and the first one had come out of the blue-eyes's mouth. Roland picked up and raised up in the air as the number-

"Our first duelist for the 3rd match is number 5! Duelist Number 5! Joey Wheeler!"

"Alright!"

"Awesome big brother!"

I was standing next to Ishizu and Serena as I elbowed her in the stomach.

She held her stomach out of breath and gave me a glare. I gave her a glare back because she knows she's supposed to be acting like our Mina and that means she would have to cheer for Joey too.

She got up and made a fake, "whoo-hoo..." as voice trailed off.

"Don't get to excited now Joey, " Yami told him. "You don't know who you're opponent is yet."

"Yeah, you're right Yuge. It could be you again. "He glared at Kaiba. "& you I can't wait to tear up!"

"Why don't you save your pathetic remarks to your real opponent. A monkey wearing a fez," he replied.

We all saw Joey's face get dark angry red as he held his fist up, " And why don't you save your loser butt while you still can!"

"Whoa, bro, take it easy!" Serenity held her hands up to calm him down as Joey was breathing some steam in and out of his nose and ears.

The 3 remaining balls continued to roll there as Ishizu made a gasp. "Joey's opponent is..." she didn't finish because of her voice being trailed off.

"And Mr. Wheeler's opponent is Duelist Number 6! Marik Ishtar!"

The only ones to gasp were, Ishizu, myself, Serena and Yami. Joey's in such a heed of trouble. No matter what, nobody will think he can win this.

Joey scavenged the room for his opponent. "Hey! Where is dat punk?!"

The ones who had powers to sense, all felt Marik's spirit up on the island already.

Fake-Mina pointed her thumb to the back. "Marik's already on the field waiting for you Joey."

"huh?" Joey blinked twice. "What? How'd you know that?"

That made me and Serena almost fall. I won't get to his case; we all know he doesn't recognize things that go around him much from what Mina told us. How could somebody like such a clueless boy yet he has the bravery of 1000 times plus knights and would do anything for his friends? But yet, he still won't admit that he thinks of Mai as a friend but he has Tea and he has my sister and myself plus Mina. He just doesn't like those kind of girls with that think they're hotter than you. I agree. I just think of Mai as an acquaintance. Nothing else.

But skip all that stuff. We need to figure out Joey's situation here. From what Mina told us. Mai went against Marik when he had his evil side awaken in him. (I copied this from the WB commercial because I couldn't get it out of my mind and it was so cool when I watched it, making me want to see what's going to happen) You lose a monster. Lose your life points. Lose to Marik. Lose your mind? I really don't think he'll be using that memory erasing thing on Joey because he's too good to have somebody touch his minuscule little brain of his. But, something tells me he's going to be in for the biggest shock of his life. Nobody except for the previous people I mentioned who was able to sense knows that Marik is once again possessed. You can tell because his hair is completely black and he has this...creepy grin that just says, "You're gunna die! You're gunna die!" With out a shadow of a doubt, we think Joey can't win because of the evil he's against. Myself, along with Serena and the other scouts have faced this evil before...well, I haven't seen this evil because I was gone for a while. Serena was the only one who really faced it because the scouts all died by Chaos but were revived as Serena saved the day once more. But, now that I'm here, how do we defeat this evil that is once again revived and hoisted itself on a pour soul that loves my sister? If Lita was here she would say we can go kill it but we'll be killing Ishizu's brother along too! I don't think there's any hope and I know I'm supposed to have faith and Serena's supposed to have faith too because she's supposed to be Mina . But we're here incase anything happens and if Chaos tries to hurt Joey in anyway, we're ready for our ultimate battle.

___________________________________________________________

"Good luck man!" cheered Tristan.

"You can do it Joey!" Serenity and I cheered in unison.

Yami just said a simple, "Be careful Joey! " and he stared at Kaiba. With the last two already chosen, that would mean he would be going against Kaiba and Kaiba was eagerly awaiting because Yugi happens to have an Egyptian God card but-I'll get to those details later when they duel but right now we're focusing on Joey and Chaos Marik!

Joey had his game face on as Chaos Marik smirked at him from across the field ready to make Joey await his upcoming doom. But little did we all know that he would have the biggest disadvantage yet!

"Joey Wheeler vs. Marik Ishtar! Mr. Wheeler was chosen first so he will make the first attack. Begin!"

4000 life points tallied up and the duel of the evil vs. the innocent had begun.

We all heard Chaos Marik chuckle.

"What's so funny big man? You in denial now that you're gunna lose?" Joey asked him.

Chaos Marik gave a snort. "I'm afraid Mr. Wheeler, you're the one about to lose. & just to make this more interesting, let's give this tournament more audience members, shall we?"

"huh? Whatta ya talkin' about?"

Duke looked at me."What is he talking about? Has Marik gone psycho?"

I looked at Ishizu who gasped. "He's taking his millennium rod out!"

Everyone looked and gasped.

"What's wrong with him? I thought Marik was a good guy now. The black hair things a bit too much but I really hope he doesn't hurt Joey, " Mai exclaimed as we all watched.

"Wha?! What are you doin' wit' dat thing? Put that thing away!"

Chaos Marik shook his head. "No Joey, I'm afraid I can't. There's some people who deserve to be here and to watch. And we're going to visit them in their home!" He opened his eyes and gave Joey his scary glare. He pointed his rod at him as some weird fog started to cover the whole area around the island until it seemed to cover the whole island!

"Not this again!" whimpered Tea.

"What's the big idea?!" questioned Tristan as no one was able to give him an answer. "Why are we in the shadow realm again?!"

"I don't like this. " Bakura backed up a little. "I've been to this place before. It's a nightmare. "

Yami nodded. "Yes, we've all experienced the feeling of having our minds locked in the shadow realm."

Evil has filled the air with it's laughter as Joey was shaking slightly but not too much because of the fear. "I ain't afraid of your dumb fog! " He was about to throw down a card. "I play-"

"But wait Joey!" interrupted Evil Marik.

"What is it now?!"

"You still didn't see who my guests were."

The top part of the millennium rod glew as the next things our eyes saw were just horrifying.

Ami appeared in Mid transformation . So did Raye right next to her. Lita appeared next to Seto and Mokuba. Odion appeared and so did...Mina?!

All the scouts were in mid-transformation and all of them were unconscious but it looked like their bodies were still being swallowed in the dome as the stuck there.

Everyone was scared and afraid. It was like dead bodies sticking around staring at you as you dueled.

Serenity hugged the nearest person which happened to be Tea. I backed up into Duke because I was afraid too. This is so not what they needed to deserve. We knew they were in the Shadow Realm but to suffer like this? They look lifeless!

Joey looked around REALLY REALLY scared as Chaos Marik let out his laughter once more. "Like it Joey? These people just happen to be my personal audience. I believe you do recognize them?"

Joey looked around but spotted a familiar girl who was stuck facing down on the top of the dome. "Mina?!"

That was right. Mina was right there, hair in her face all knocked out.

"But then that would mean-" he looked at Serena.

Serena started freaking out and pointed, "That's just my twin sister!"

BOOM. I fell because of the embarrassment.

"What are you doing, Marik!?" Yami demanded to know.

"I would love to hear the cries and the pleas as you all and my slaves watch my opponent gets defeated for good. Then when I'm done with you, it's the pharaoh. Then after him, it's Serena and her brattie sister."

"I believe you have it the other way around!!" I complained. Bratty! Ha!

"Then, with them out of the way, the universe will be mine!" He ended with a laugh as Yami took one more look up at Mina who didn't seem to have any life at all.
