Yami stood beside Kaiba silently, knowing what would happen if they lost this duel. They couldn't lose; they had to win, not only for them but also for the world and..and Jessica. God I hope she's okay he thought.

Marik and Bakura made there way to the opposite side of the arena and took their places. "We have a little surprise for you Yami" Marik laughed evilly. Yami raised an eyebrow at this. The door in which they had come from slowly opened, the mind slave from before entered the room, making Yami and the other's gasp in horror at what else he had brought in.

They're beside the slave stood and weak, beaten and pale girl. Yami wouldn't have even recognized her if it wasn't for her bracelet that laid around her wrist her clothes were rumpled and dirty, her face looked sick and was pale. When she had turned around not to face them, he had seen some blood in her hair, so he knew she had taken a hit.

Jessica stood there feeling ashamed. She looked pathetic and stupid; she didn't even know why they had come for her. Now look at the mess she had brought to them, even after this she would understand if they hated her, they had no reason not to.

"Ahhh I see you know my little friend here?" Marik taunted at them.

"You keep her out of this" Kaiba yelled. Marik laughed.

"You have no say in this, besides you never said we couldn't use her" he said.

"But why would you-" then it hit him. They were going to win using her and her bracelet.

Yami smiled. "What the hell are you smiling for?" Bakura asked.

"Marik I just realized something. . .SHE chooses the winner of the duel, not you, so I'm not worried at all" Yami said grinning. Marik's smile had been whipped off quickly.

"Stupid pharaoh, I too own a millennium item and I'll make her want us to win" he said.

"Well that got us nowhere" Kaiba hissed to Yami.

"We'll I got Joey out of Marik's control, I think we can get her out too" he said. Kaiba nodded

"Let's start this" he yelled.

"With pleasure, slave bring Jessica over there and have her sit" Marik said.

"Yes Master" the slave said and pulled Jessica to where she was supposed to be.

She would of fought back, but she was to weak, and even if she did get out of the man's grasp where would she run too? And besides Marik would have her under his control in no time.

She sat down on the cold floor, facing the dueling arena where four men stood. Two pissed off and another too happy. (AN: I'm sure you can tell who is pissed and who isn't right?) When she was seated, Marik turned back to Yami and Kaiba.

"Ready?" he said simply.

"Damn right" Kaiba yelled.

"It's time to duel!" all four shouted. They each drawed out five cards.

"I'll start, then Bakura, Kaiba after and then you Marik" Yami said. The three nodded, making Yami draw his sixth card.

"I set one card face down, and then I'll play one card in defense mode, ending my turn" Yami declared, putting the cards down. Bakura watched this and when knowing the pharaoh's turn was over, he drew a card.

"Unlike you pharaoh I won't hide behind defenses, funny though, your already scared eh? Not surprised. Well then I guess I'll play my magic card F, and I have no need to explain it Yami, you just witnessed what it does, or would have." he trailed off remembering his last duel.

"Then why use the same strategy? I can get rid of it quicker" Yami said.

"Yes you can, but now I have Marik to help me out, and block whatever you throw at me and also he has some- you know what? I'll leave that a surprise" he stated. "Anyways after I play F, I'll also play Souls of the Forgotten (900 atk) in attack mode" he said ending his turn.

Kaiba smirked at the weak card. "Like will help you. . .I play Battle Ox (1700 atk) Battle Ox attack Souls of the forgotten now!" Kaiba ordered. The monster did what it was told, bringing Bakura down to 3200. After drawing a card, Marik put his play into action

"I set this card and I play Grand Tiki Elder (1500 atk) onto the field and I also put the magic card I, making that two letters so far" Marik said tauntingly. He laughed as there faces turned.

"Wait! That's impossible! How can you both play for it? And where did you get those cards Marik? You never had them before" Yami asked.

"Really Pharaoh! To answer your first question, since it's a double duel we play as a team, meaning we can put it into play together, and also he is a rare hunter, how could I not have this card?" Marik laughed evilly. Yami cursed under his breath.

"Marik, I want to end this quickly, I have better things to do then waste my time on them! So get Jessica to help us" Bakura growled. Marik nodded and turned to Jessica, who still sat on the cold floor.

"Girl, you better be helping us, if you know what's good for you understand? Now finish this quickly for us!" he yelled at her.

Jessica's eyes went wide. "I will never help you, you Bastard!" she yelled boldly to him. Marik sighed,

"Fine then, we'll make you do it!" he said. He pulled out his millennium rod from his back pocket and pointed it to her..
