The next morning, the rest of the group woke up to find Tea and Geno going over the binder, Tea pointing out a card, Geno either agreeing to it or shaking his head, and then taking the ones they liked.

"What are you guys doing?" Yugi said with a yawn.

"Nothing!" Tea said, slamming the binder up, crushing Geno's fingers in the process. HE winced, but then smiled.

"I was showing Tea some of the cards I got in town." Yugi looked at him suspiciously, then shrugged. They all sat down to eat, and were talking about this or that while Geno watched the perimeter.

".And that's why I think you brothers an ass Raia." Joey said. Raia glared at him.

"And let me tell you why I think Serenity is a empty headed nitwit..."

"Quiet!" Geno shouted. They all looked at him as he scanned the horizon. "Someone is coming." He turned to look at them, and suddenly was pulled to the ground d, a pair of hands popping out of the sand, locked on his ankles. He looked at them.

"Run!" He yelled as he was pulled into the sand. The others began to run as fast as they could, but it was too late. Joey cursed as he was dragged under, followed by Raia and Tristan. Tea and Yugi ran towards town, but suddenly felt themselves going down, and fell through a large hole into a dark cavern. They looked around, and spotted Joey, Tristan and Raia, all three against the wall, a couple of mask men circling them.

Yugi and Tea were lead to the main wall, and sat down with the rest. "Where's Geno?" Yugi asked quietly.

They heard a scuffle, and Geno came flying from around the corner into a wall. He wiped his face and lifted his sword, which was covered in blood. He looked over at Yugi and the gang angrily.

"I told you to run!"

Raia shrugged. "What, and let you get all the cards."

Geno smiled, and then attacked their kidnappers, knocking them out and began to drag them away from Tea and Raia. They heard the sound of a blade, and then silence. Geno walked back to them.

"This is getting old."

"Then let us settle it." Derek Jones said, stepping from the shadows. Geno pointed his bade at his throat. "Careful, I did and the cards' location dies with me."

Geno frowned, then sheathed his sword. "What do you want? Money, land, women..men?"

"Cute. No Mr. Roads, I want to duel. If I win, the cards are mine, and none of you can bother me again. You win.you get the cards."

"Well, take out your deck, cuss I'm going to wipe the floor with you!" Geno replied.

The Millennium Puzzle glowed, and Yami stood up. "You'll have to wait Kappa, cause I am going to win the cards."

Derek smiled. "Your bother wrong. You see, I don't think it is fair that I have all the Greek weapon cards and home court advantage. So, I think I will not only take out all of your Greek weapons, but also allow you duel together."

Yami and Geno looked at each other. "Uh, what?" both replied.

Derek motioned for them to follow him, and lead them to the surface. HE reached into a box near the caves opening, and pulled out a duel disk. "It is simple. This duel is a two on one duel. Here is where it gets fun: Each of you will take turns playing. You have 3 zones for monsters and 3 for magic. These are your own, and when your partner begins their turn, you monsters disappeared."

"Interesting. We will be battling you, but can't use our partners cards to aid us." Yami replied.

"No, because you will have 2 other zones for monsters will be on the field during the whole duel. Your partner can play with the cards in these 4 zones." He smiled. "Ready?"

Yami activated his disk, as did Derek. Geno threw off his sword and shield and activated his.

"Oh, and no using any of those powers you have Geno. This must be fair. All 3 of us must swear, no magic."

Yami and Geno gulped, but agreed.

"Then, let's duel!"

Yami drew and looked at Geno. "If we want our cards back, we need to work together."

Geno frowned. "I ain't Seto Kabia, of course I will help you, this time." HE pause. "But only to get my cards back."

Yami smiled. "Keep telling yourself that. I summon Skilled Dark Magician in one of my Co Zones, and also set this card."

Derek chuckled. "Already thinking, huh? Hmm" He looked at his hand. "Well, I think I need a new card, so I activate Upstart Goblin. (Yami-5000) Now, Yami is playing it smart, but I need to insure that my monsters don't have to deal with shifting opponents. SO, allow me to reveal my Greek Weapon card!"

"I thought you said." Yami began.

"I said I would remove your cards, not mine. Now, I shall reveal my Greek Weapon, the Hammer of Hephaestus!"

Everyone heard from under the ground the sound of metal being pounded. The sand kicked up, and the lame god arose, throwing his hammer in the air.

"My card allows me to destroy one type of zone, and you can't place any cards in it for as long as my hammer sits there. I select..you non-co share zones, which under the rules of this game, count as a zone all together." The hammer dropped, and both Geno and Yami were left with 2 monster zones and 2 magic zones.

"Now then, I will set these to cards, and set this monster in defense mode."

Geno frowned. "You are a thief Derek, and I never trust a thief. You have something in up you self don't you? Well, I too can have tricks. I will activate Reinforcements of the Army!" An army ran towards Geno, and gave him a card. Since Geno had played the card in a Co Magic Zone, The skilled mage gained a token. "And now, I will summon upon my two zones my Marauding Captains!"

"Activate Needle Wall!" Derek held out his hand, and the card flipped up. Geno and Yami looked up to see a large ceiling appear above them. "This card allows me to destroy all monsters on the field!" Geno and Yami frowned as their monsters disappeared. "Now, it is my turn again, so I will summon Hunter with the 7 Weapons. Attack Geno directly!" Geno braced himself for the attack.

"Raigeki Break!"

Geno sighed with relief as the monster was destroyed. Derek merely laughed. "You are only aiding me."

"Derek, Geno is right, you can't be trusted. So, I will set this monster and this other card in the two co zones."

"Well, since everyone doesn't trust me, I guess I will have to set this card and this monster, ending my turn."

Geno sighed. "You two are wimps. I agree, he is tricky, but I will not sit here and play the set game. I summon Warrior Dai Grepher and have him attack your down face monster!"

Geno smiled as The Dark Scorpion Burglars appeared, and were sliced in half by Grepher's blade. His smiled faded as the card Derek had set appeared.

"I reveal my QuickPlay Magic card, The Criminal's Oath! When one monster of the Dark Scorpion family, be it a single character or the whole five card, I can summon another one, and increase its attack by 500. Now, come forth, Don Zaloong!"

Yami and Geno watched as the great thief swiftly leapt from the sand caves to the playing field. Yami looked at Geno, who shrugged. (Geno-3800)

"Now, I will set this monster and card, and have my monster destroy your Warrior!" Geno watched as Don spun his blade and plunged it into Dai Grepher. He sighed as a Don stole two of the cards from his deck and sent them to the graveyard.

"Geno, we need to be careful now!" Yami shouted.

"I know!" Geno said. "Give me a break! IF we had sat here, he would have decked us out."

Yami frowned. "I will set this card in my last monster Zone, and activate Fissure, destroy the Don!"
