****STILL SERENA'S POV*****

I laid Serena down as everyone gathered.

"How did you know the millennium necklace would set Mina free?" Yami asked as he kneeled next to Mina.

"I could explain that to you later and I will but I have other business." The duel continued as I threw the necklace up towards Raye. A short, dark haired tall blonde scout appeared and took it and placed it on her head. Raye was free. That scout threw the necklace at Ami in which another blue haired scout appeared and caught it. She too put the necklace on Ami's forehead that set her free immediately. The necklace was thrown again and a scout appeared that looked almost like Tea appeared and put the necklace on Odion's head. Free then throw. Lastly, a scout with long green hair appeared behind Seto and Mokuba and caught the necklace. Free then throw back to me.

"Awesome you guys!" I cheered for them.

"Oh no! Joey! "

We all looked as he was in the midst of near defeat. Joey was giving up. He had to have courage.

"He's not going to make it," said a Tristan in a fearful tone.

Chaos Marik was going to send his last blast which he did but I thought of the last minute. I grabbed Ishizu's necklace. I put it on my forehead and applied it to Mina's body as the fog of the shadow realm was fading.

************REENIE'S POV*********

I ran out with Duke to see what all the fuss was about as we called out, "JOEY!!"

***END POV****

Chaos Marik didn't really have to use his Winged Dragon of Ra because of the advantage he had over Joey because he had his best-friend's soul with him. OR so he thought.

Joey was knocked out on his stomach. Or so he thought until he woke up. Somebody covering him. He opened his eyes and looked up to see another pair of blue eyes looking up at him.

"Mina!" Pluto called out.

"She's okay!" Came Serenity's upbeat voice. She gasped. "What about Joey?"

"Lower the field!" Tristan ordered.

The field lowered as Roland announced, " and the winner of this duel is Marik Ishtar!"

Everyone ran and stopped as they saw Mina holding onto Joey. I can't believe it...she's alive. She's alive! But what about?...

Everyone was all gathered around Mina and Joey as I looked around for Serena. She was no where in sight! I heard a cackle and flew up to Marik to see the most shocking thing I could think of. The soul of my sister was walking away with the enemy. She had given up her life to restore Mina's.

______________________________________________________________________

We couldn't hide anything from anyone anymore so we explained to the gang the current situation and they easily understood. And being as caring as they are, they vowed to help us. But a question was on everyone's minds.

"Where's Serena?" Yugi requested to know.

I was sitting next to Tea and Serenity. I turned the other way.

"Come on Reenie, you have to tell us. We're all in the clear now about everything, " checked Mai. "So, where's you meatball-headed sister at? Is she pigging out in the banquet hall?"

I shook my head. If I told them, they would get even more heart broken.

"Reenie?" Mina asked me. "Where's Serena? Tell us now."

"I didn't see so I'm not for sure."

"Are you saying she vanished?" Amara wondered.

"I don't know what to say. I didn't see her. That's all I saw." I replied to them.

**************************MINA'S POV*************************

I'm guessing Reenie did see what happened to Serena. She just didn't want to tell us. She should know that I knew because I felt Serena's spirit talk to me as our souls passed each other.

****FLASHBACK***

During that big flash of light, my soul next to Chaos Marik floated towards the body as Serena's soul flew by mine. "Good luck!" she said as she passed by. I entered my body and got up as quickly as I can because Joey was in trouble.

*****PRESENT******

There would be a 1 hour break from the last battle of the semi-finals finals. I decided to get ready for my chance in the finals. It was up to Yugi to beat Kaiba to get to the finals finals. I decided to go through the strategies that Reenie told me to go through that Serena told her that she made up since she was supposed to be me and duel but she never had the chance to be me and to never duel.

I toppled my best-card combos together that I knew of and paired and compared them all up to the ones Serena made. My eyes widened. I sweat dropped too as I noticed that Serena's combos were better than mine. "Man, Serena's a good learner," I said in reserve. With a nervous chuckle, I heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" I called out to whoever knocked. The two came in as I became eye-widen again as another of Serena's combos became better than mine. "Serena, you're not what I thought of," I whispered to myself. I felt some one hug me from behind. "You're hugging me because...?"

"I'm just so happy to see ya again!"

"How's your deck coming along?" mustered Yugi.

"Serena actually did the whole work for me. " I sat into the next chair as Yugi sat in my previous one and looked. "You're right! How did she get this good?"

"Beats me!" I smiled goofily as I remembered my soul coming back to her and teaching her how to duel. I glanced at Joey was taking some of my cards and looking at them up close. "Sorry about your lose, Joey. I know how much it meant to you making it to the finals yet losing again. "

With a reply, he only grinned at me. "I know, it's kind of embarrassing losing twice in a row. "

"Maybe you could wait for a bigger tournament coming around and you can participate there?"

"Good idea but I'm the one who's gunna worry about you tonight!"

I twitched my nose. "eh? Could you elaborate on that?"

Yugi put a hand of cards down. "He means that, either way we're all going to have to worry about you incase you get teamed up with Chaos Marik. The odds seem tougher than they seem. "

"Yugi's right. You could get hurt dueling against him. "

I almost felt like laughing out loud. Those guys were sweet and caring but we shouldn't worry about myself for now. "Guys, you're both sweet but we shouldn't worry about my case for now. Yugi, aren't you supposed to get ready for your duel?"

"I could go over my cards again and upcoming strategies with the spirit. " He got down from the seat. "I'll see you guys."

"We'll see you back on the island, Yuge!" Joey looked out the door to see if he was gone. He turned back and smiled at me as if he was going to do something that he'll like and I might not like to me.

"What in the world are you smiling about?"

He looked like he was about to lunge and kiss me but in bursted in our cheerleaders. Team Captain Tristan and Tea followed by fellow cheers Serenity, Duke, Reenie, and Bakura .

"Hey! Sweet room Mina!" exclaimed Duke as he grabbed Reenie's arm. The other scouts came in as well as Joey fell flat on his face. I moved a few inches so he can wither in peace.

He got up quickly and yelled, "Can't you guys go bother someone else?!"

Lita bit into an apple. "Nonsense Joey! Mina's our friend too! "

"Yeah!" Tea twirled and laid herself on the couch. "And she's back now! She could use some company!"

"Well I'm here!"

"You're just one friend," whispered Tristan as he nudged a stressed Joey. "We wouldn't want to leave a newly back to Earth Mina with lover-boy here." I scoffed.

Joey started to shake him furiously, "Go botha somebody else!!"
