Star: Did you get him to talk?
Demon Child: Talk?
Gema J. Gall: The college student? Did you get any information about the penguins out of him?
Demon Child: I was having fun with my pirahna bunnies.
Lady Akhana: You didn't kill him, did you?
Demon Child: No. You can ask him questions when he stops shaking from fear. *Begins to laugh evilly.*
Gema J. Gall: Don't look at me that way, Akhana introduced me to him.
Moonlady: No comments needed.
Pharaoh Light: I am working on a program to track the penguins.
Pharaoh Dark: And I am working on making up more lightbulbs. Lightbulbs are fun!
E-100 Alpha: What about mustard?
Pharaohs Light & Dark: Well, that too.
Moonlady: All in favor of not letting DC Kantel handle interrogation sessions raise their hands. *Everyone does.*
Demon Child: You all hate me!
Gema J. Gall: We don't hate you, we just need him conscious if he is going to talk.
E-100 Alpha: The lightbulb turned yellow.
Star: Someone is coming!
Lady Akhana: To the mustard grenades!
Moonlady: For liberty and penguin eradication!
Pharaoh Dark: I think you guys are over reacting.
Pharaoh Light: The light would be red if we were dealing with the penguins.
Fox Demon: Don't hurt me!
Moonlady: Who are you?
Fox Demon: I came to join. I found out too late. The penguins have the rest of my family! I barely escaped! I am ready to fight to free them!
Star: I'll be running a background check. *Begins to play with her laptop, especially downloading Yu-Gi-Oh! pictures.*
Gema J. Gall: I know the feeling. The penguins have my brother too.
Lady Akhana: And my little sister. Although they can keep her!
E-100 Alpha: Do you know anything about the penguins' plans?
Fox Demon: Sorry no, I have been in hiding.
Demon Child: Can you summon piranha bunnies or vampire shadows?
Fox Demon: What?
Demon Child: I didn't think so.
Moonlady: Ignore him.
Lady Akhana: We are glad to have you. Mustard for everyone. *Much cheering.*
Dark Fox: I told you these people were OK, even is they are a little eccentric.
Gema J. Gall: What was that?
Fox Demon: My counterpart, Dark Fox.
Star: A dark side?
Moonlady: A yami.
Pharaoh Light: A hard core Yu-Gi-Oh! fan.
Pharaoh Dark: You're clear! All Yu-Gi-Oh! fans welcome!
Gema J Gall: I am going to go see if that college student is ready to talk. *Smiles as she holds up the Millennial Scales.)

(AN/ from now on I will be making up attack names if I do not know them. I'll make up names even if I do know and have forgotten. Bear with me, I think attack names add a lot to stories.

A virtual voice began to explain her "job." She was to wait outside of a temple. The temple was on the edge of a desert. When one of the players approached I was to ask him or her three questions about Duel Monsters. They are supposed to be hard questions. If they missed a question, Shayla was supposed to duel him or her. If they answered all questions correctly or won the duel, they got to pass. If not, the game ended.
"Great," Shayla thought. "It is nice to know the thing I am most remembered for at the Duelist Kingdom."
A holo-disk appeared on her hand. Her life pointed were brought up to 2000. This holo-disk was different from the ones in reality. There was no places to put cards. All a player had to do was hold their Duel Monster card in the air and it would appear in the game.
"Mai, where are you?" Shayla called. Nothing, She was alone.
The virtual world felt like the real world. There was a slight breeze which could not hide the desert atmosphere. The marble steps she was on felt cool and smooth. It was exactly like reality, except it wasn't.
"This isn't real," Shayla had to remind herself. She took a seat on the marble railing and waited. She pulled out her patched walking stick and sat the same way she did in the Duelist Kingdom. Her backpack laid at her feet.
"Martin, is anyone coming?" she asked. Then she remembered Martin wasn't here. A wave of loneliness washed over her.
Eventually Shayla felt the wind pick up. The desert was having a sandstorm. Thanks to the computer program, Shayla was out of range of the violent weather. Through the storm four figures riding oversized chickens emerged. Actually, they weren't chickens, but the Duel Monster, Niwatori. They looked like three feet tall white roosters, complete with crowns and crops. But instead of having red crowns and crops, they were green. It was a fairly weak Duel Monster, but it could survive desert dust storms. The four people the Niwatori were carrying were Joe, Yu-Gi, Mai, and Mokuba Kaiba.
Shayla heard them approaching and grew tense. She didn't know who was coming, but she knew several people were approaching.
"Hey, Shayla!" Mai called first.
"She's here too?" asked Joe. The answer was obvious.
"Mai, Joe?" asked Shayla. "Who else is there?"
"Me, Mokuba and Yu-Gi," answered Mokuba.
"You guys are the other testers?" asked Shayla.
"Testing?" asked Joe with a snort. He was the only one missing life points.
"No, the Kaiba Corp. Executives played dirty," said Mai.
"What? Someone explain," said Shayla.
"They took my brother!" exclaimed Mokuba. "Seto was going to fire them because they tried to take over Kaiba Corp. and give it to Industrial Illusions. They tricked him into trying out this game, then trapped him in it. We have to find him!"
"Slow down! What do you mean?" asked Shayla, completely confused.
"The executives said that the game was done, knowing Kaiba would test it," said Yu-Gi. "He did, but they reprogrammed it. When he started to play the game took him prisoner. All of the safety measures were disabled, so Kaiba couldn't get back into reality. So his mind is trapped in the game. We have to find him."
"Woah!" exclaimed Shayla. "How come people always seemed to be getting kidnapped and made prisoners when you are around?"
"Very funny," said Joe in a dry voice.
"We have to get going. Seto could be in real trouble," urged Mokuba.
"I am supposed to ask you three questions to pass, but I'd rather go with you and find out what happens," said Shayla, sliding off of the railing.
"Then come on!" exclaimed Mia as she grabbed Shayla's wrist. The five raced into the temple.
"Woah!" exclaimed Joe, coming to a stop. "This looks familiar."
"A labyrinth!" exclaimed Yu-Gi.
"Let's get out of here," suggested Mai. They turned to leave the temple, but the heavy doors closed behind them with an ominous thud.
"Oh, no!" cried Joe. "We are trapped!"
"I guess we'd better go forward," suggested Yu-Gi. They began to walk hesitantly foreword. It was silent walking, no one had anything to say.
"Hey! That fair is back!" exclaimed Joe.
"I think she wants us to follow her," said Yu-Gi, taking a few steps after the creature. She was small enough to fit into the palms of anyone's hands. She held a staff that was shaped like a key and wore a red outfit that is commonly associated with sprites.
"A fairy?" asked Shayla. The fairy fluttered over to the blind girl and brushed her face with her wings. Shayla giggled a little
"AAAAHHHHHH!" a high pitched scream echoed through the labyrinth.
"What was that?" asked Mai.
"Someone is in trouble!" cried Yu-Gi. The fairy took off.
"Come on!" said Joe as they began to follow her.
Then a low grinding noise vibrated through the maze. The walls and floors shook.
"Tell me that isn't what I think it is," moaned Joe. A large violet tank appeared behind them. It was covered with seven razor sharp drills. Its yellow, narrow windows glowed like evil eyes.
"A Labyrinth Tank!" exclaimed Yu-Gi as he identified the Duel Monster.
"Run for it!" cried Mokuba. They all did without any further urgings. They raced around corners and down passages. Soon they were hopelessly lost, but they were in too much of a panic to care. They raced around a corner, only to find another tank.
"Wrong way!" cried Joe.
"Come on!" urged Yu-Gi as the fairy darted down another hallway.
"Bad choice!" cried Mai as another Labyrinth Tank appeared. They were completely trapped.
"Then we won't run!" cried Yu-Gi. "I summon the Dark Magician. Dark Magic Attack!" His favorite Duel Monster appeared. His dark violet hair poked out from his large conical hat. His cape was dark violet and his armor matched the hat. He held an incredibly long staff with a green orb embedded in the cornucopia like top. He raised this staff and blasted each tank to dust. The graphic were overwhelmingly realistic. Only the Shadow Realm could compete with it. It was obvious the affect of Kaiba's stay in the Shadow Realm had on his developing of the game.
"Yeah!" everyone cheered as they were safe.
"We aren't done yet," said Yu-Gi as he continued to follow the fairy guide. The tiny sprite disappeared around a corner.
"Oh, Eros," a female voice with a slight accept said.
"Someone is here," said Mai as they raced after the fairy, Eros.
"Woah! It is Mokuba!" exclaimed Joe when they saw the person. She did look just like Mokuba. Her hair and her face matched exactly. She had on a flowing pink gown and glittering tiara.
"Were you the one who screamed?" asked Yu-Gi.
"Yes," the girl admitted. "I am lost and afraid. Will you brave heroes help me out?"
"Sure," said Joe with a big smile. "I am Joe, and this is Yu-Gi."
"I am Mai, and the blind girl is Shayla," introduced Mai.
"And I am Mokuba," said Mokuba.
"I am Adina," she said. "And this is Eros, my guardian."
"Pleased to met you," concluded Yu-Gi. "Eros helped us get here."
"I sent her looking for help," said the girl. "I am glad she found some."
Eros began to flit back and forth.
"The exit is near," translated the Mokuba-looking girl. "Once we are out of here I invite you to my house. There we can feast, and you can tell me your stories."
"I am cool with that," smiled Joe at the thought of food. They walked in silence, exchanging small talk.
"What is that thing!?" cried Mai as they reached the end.
"It is the Gate Guardian!" cried Joe.
"This must be another obstacle that was programmed in!" exclaimed Yu-Gi. The Gate Guardian towered over the party. Its robot like legs were blue with the symbol for Suijin, the water element, on its waist. Its mid- section was green and marked by Kazejin, the element of wind. Its small head and chest were made by Sanga of the Thunder and marked by its symbol. The three were know as the labyrinth brothers. The Gate Guardian was one of the top ten strongest Duel Monsters. It moved to attack.
"We beat it once," said Joe, "And we can do it again. Red-Eyes, Black Dragon!" He summoned his monster. It was a bony coal black monster with burning coal red eyes. It had skeleton like wings that reached across many yards. It craned its serpentine monster and snapped menacingly at the Gate Guardian.
"And I chose Summoned Skull!" exclaimed Yu-Gi. His monster looked like a demon without skin. It had bat like wings. Its body was nothing but bones and muscles. It had a demented face, complete with horns and a snout. "And we use Polymerization...."
"To create to Black Skull Dragon!" exclaimed Joe and Yu-Gi together. The monsters merged to become one. The Black Skull Dragon had the frame of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, but the build of the Summoned Skull. Bones and muscle were clear on its chest. Its wings were the same as the Red-Eyes.
"It isn't strong enough!" moaned Mai.
"I still have power-ups," said Joe as he flashed two magic cards.
"Molten Fireball Attack!" Joe and Yu-Gi yelled together. The Gate Guardian was blown to dust.
"Great job, Joe!" cheered Mai.
"You did it!" added Mokuba.
"Such strength," muttered the girl. "Could they be....?"
"Let's get out of here before something else decides to smash us," suggested Shayla. Everyone agreed and they walked out of the labyrinth.
"The princesses is back!" exclaimed a nanny like virtual person.
"Yes, I made it. These kind travelers saved me," said the princess as she embraced her nanny.
"Princess!" exclaimed the rest of the group.
"I am sorry I did not tell you, but I am princess of this realm. Come to my castle. There shall be much feasting and celebrating," Adina said with a smile.
"Let's go!" said Joe, racing a head. "Aren't you glad your brother based such a cool character off of you?" he asked Mokuba.
They all entered the castle and soon were at a large dinner table with the king, queen, and princess. The King was at the head. His wife was to the right and his daughter was to the left. Mokuba sat next to her. Shayla was next to the queen. Mai sat next to Shayla and across from Joe. Yu-Gi was at the other end. The princess was busy telling her father of their passed adventures.
"Indeed we owe you much," said the king. "Is there anything we can do to repay you?"
"Help me find my brother," said Mokuba, immediately.
"Your brother?" asked the queen.
"Yeah, Seto Kaiba. He was kidnapped and held prisoner somewhere and we need to find him," explained Mokuba.
"It has to be him," said the princess sadly. Even Eros seemed depressed.
"What is it?" asked Yu-Gi.
"It is a sad story," said Princess Adina. "Every year our kingdom and our neighbor's have to offer a sacrifice to the legendary dragon to save our realms. If not the dragon will destroy them. The other kingdom has already made their offer, a stranger from a far away land."
"That's my brother!" cried Mokuba.
"And soon, our kingdom shall have to present our offering," she said sadly.
"You can't be serious. You aren't going to offer one of your people?" asked Joe.
"I have volunteered myself," she said with a low sigh.
"What?! You can't be serious?!" Shayla exclaimed.
"But what about Seto? How do we stop this?" asked Mokuba.
"Calm down," suggested Mai, "And keep telling yourself that this is just a game." She got weird looks from the virtual people. "I mean life is just a game, have fun."
"There is an ancient legend our kingdom has," said the king. "Five ancient heroes from a far away land once went to the dark castle and fought against the legendary dragon. They triumphed and saved the lives of both kingdoms."
"Five heroes?" asked Joe.
"The legend also states that those heroes will come back in our darkest hour," finished the king.
"You don't think we are....?" asked Mai.
"You have to be!" exclaimed the queen. "Come." She clapped for a servant. "Show these five to the armor of our national heroes. The battle will begin once more!"
Yu-Gi, Shayla, Mai, Mokuba, and Joe were escorted out of the room and handed ancient armor. They were given rooms to change in. Mai was the first out. She was used to changing so she was very fast.
Mai looked like a valkerie in her stylish pale blue armor. An impressive sword hung by her waist. The forearm protection on her left arm was missing to allow for her holo-disk.
Yu-Gi was the next out. His armor fit him perfectly, despite his small size. He had a sword too, and several daggers. His armor was steel gray, an exact replica from the middle ages. His holo-disk looked out of place.
Shayla was the next out. She wasn't wearing armor, but a black robe complete with a large hood. The sorceress's robe was trimmed with a golden geometric pattern. She held a straight, white staff with a piece of amethyst like rock stuck at the top. Her holo-disk was hidden in the wide sleeves.
"You look good," complimented Mai.
"Thanks, I wish I could say the same," she smiled sheepishly.
"The two of you don't have to come," said Yu-Gi. "It is going to be dangerous."
"If I look this good, I am going to kick some butt," retorted Mai. "Where is Joe?"
"I am not coming out," he protested from the next room.
"It can't be bad," said Mai.
"No, it is worse," he muttered.
"Come on, Joe. Or do I have to go in there and get you?" asked Yu-Gi. Joe reluctantly came out. Mai and Yu-Gi instantly burst into laughter. He was wearing a caveman's outfit, complete with club and bones.
"Nice legs," teased Mai.
"Hey!" protested Joe as he tried to pull his furry toga lower.
"Do not be offended. That is the clothing of our national hero," said the nanny as she walked in with the princess and Mokuba.
"I'm not," said Joe, straightening up.
"You look good, Mokuba," complimented Yu-Gi. Mokuba's armor was almost similar to Yu-Gi's save color. Mokuba nodded in reply.
"They are coming!" a messenger raced in and yelled. Everyone raced to the balcony. They looked into the stormy sky. An evil castle was floating in mid-air.
"Is that....?" asked Joe.
"Yep, the Castle of Dark Illusions," agreed Yu-Gi. It was an ugly golden castle with several sinister towers. A large band the gave it the power of flotation encircled the middle. The band was locked on by a large blue seal. Flying shaped exited the castle and filled the air.
"Oh my gosh!" exclaimed Joe.
"Have you ever seen so many Duel Monsters?" Mai asked. Every kind of Duel Monster with wings was in front of them.
"They'll be after the princess," said Shayla. "We have to protect her!"
"Dark Witch!" Summoned Mai. "Battle Spear Strike!" Her Dark witch appeared. It had a tight light green dress on and dark navy hair. She had elfin ear and wings that match the color of her hair. Her spear was as long as she was. The Dark Witch began to impale the enemy Duel Monsters left and right. But there was just too many.
"Call it back!" cried Yu-Gi. "there are too many! We need another plan." Mai complied.
"Now what?" asked Joe.
"Dark Ho...." Yu-Gi began to use a magic card. It would eliminate every Duel Monster in the area. But a knife was thrown and knocked it out of his hand.
"What the?" asked Shayla when she heard the knife hit the ground.
"It is the Armed Ninja!" exclaimed Joe.
"It is after the princess!" added Yu-Gi. The Armed Ninja's face was hidden. It wore a black ninja suit with blue and red trim. It had a blue ponytail with golden clips. Various weapons hung from its waist. It was sitting on top of the castle tower, ready to strike.
"I summon...." Shayla began to say. That was when the Armed Ninja threw a smoke bomb at the balcony. Everyone was seized by fits of coughing. In that brief moment the Armed Ninja shot out a net, which ensnared the princess. It began to haul her up to the roof.
"No!" cried Joe. "Kunai with Chain!" His magic card severed the rope and the princess began to drop back to the balcony. But before the group could celebrate another winged Duel Monster intercepted her and flew off. All of the Duel Monsters retreated to the Caste of Dark Illusions with their prize.
"No! They took Mokuba!" cried the princess as she ran forward. Everyone turned around and gasped. The princess was still there, wearing Mokuba's armor. Mokuba had been the one in the dress, the one who had been kidnapped.

A virtual voice began to explain her "job." She was to wait outside of a temple. The temple was on the edge of a desert. When one of the players approached I was to ask him or her three questions about Duel Monsters. They are supposed to be hard questions. If they missed a question, Shayla was supposed to duel him or her. If they answered all questions correctly or won the duel, they got to pass. If not, the game ended.
"Great," Shayla thought. "It is nice to know the thing I am most remembered for at the Duelist Kingdom."
A holo-disk appeared on her hand. Her life pointed were brought up to 2000. This holo-disk was different from the ones in reality. There was no places to put cards. All a player had to do was hold their Duel Monster card in the air and it would appear in the game.
"Mai, where are you?" Shayla called. Nothing, She was alone.
The virtual world felt like the real world. There was a slight breeze which could not hide the desert atmosphere. The marble steps she was on felt cool and smooth. It was exactly like reality, except it wasn't.
"This isn't real," Shayla had to remind herself. She took a seat on the marble railing and waited. She pulled out her patched walking stick and sat the same way she did in the Duelist Kingdom. Her backpack laid at her feet.
"Martin, is anyone coming?" she asked. Then she remembered Martin wasn't here. A wave of loneliness washed over her.
Eventually Shayla felt the wind pick up. The desert was having a sandstorm. Thanks to the computer program, Shayla was out of range of the violent weather. Through the storm four figures riding oversized chickens emerged. Actually, they weren't chickens, but the Duel Monster, Niwatori. They looked like three feet tall white roosters, complete with crowns and crops. But instead of having red crowns and crops, they were green. It was a fairly weak Duel Monster, but it could survive desert dust storms. The four people the Niwatori were carrying were Joe, Yu-Gi, Mai, and Mokuba Kaiba.
Shayla heard them approaching and grew tense. She didn't know who was coming, but she knew several people were approaching.
"Hey, Shayla!" Mai called first.
"She's here too?" asked Joe. The answer was obvious.
"Mai, Joe?" asked Shayla. "Who else is there?"
"Me, Mokuba and Yu-Gi," answered Mokuba.
"You guys are the other testers?" asked Shayla.
"Testing?" asked Joe with a snort. He was the only one missing life points.
"No, the Kaiba Corp. Executives played dirty," said Mai.
"What? Someone explain," said Shayla.
"They took my brother!" exclaimed Mokuba. "Seto was going to fire them because they tried to take over Kaiba Corp. and give it to Industrial Illusions. They tricked him into trying out this game, then trapped him in it. We have to find him!"
"Slow down! What do you mean?" asked Shayla, completely confused.
"The executives said that the game was done, knowing Kaiba would test it," said Yu-Gi. "He did, but they reprogrammed it. When he started to play the game took him prisoner. All of the safety measures were disabled, so Kaiba couldn't get back into reality. So his mind is trapped in the game. We have to find him."
"Woah!" exclaimed Shayla. "How come people always seemed to be getting kidnapped and made prisoners when you are around?"
"Very funny," said Joe in a dry voice.
"We have to get going. Seto could be in real trouble," urged Mokuba.
"I am supposed to ask you three questions to pass, but I'd rather go with you and find out what happens," said Shayla, sliding off of the railing.
"Then come on!" exclaimed Mia as she grabbed Shayla's wrist. The five raced into the temple.
"Woah!" exclaimed Joe, coming to a stop. "This looks familiar."
"A labyrinth!" exclaimed Yu-Gi.
"Let's get out of here," suggested Mai. They turned to leave the temple, but the heavy doors closed behind them with an ominous thud.
"Oh, no!" cried Joe. "We are trapped!"
"I guess we'd better go forward," suggested Yu-Gi. They began to walk hesitantly foreword. It was silent walking, no one had anything to say.
"Hey! That fair is back!" exclaimed Joe.
"I think she wants us to follow her," said Yu-Gi, taking a few steps after the creature. She was small enough to fit into the palms of anyone's hands. She held a staff that was shaped like a key and wore a red outfit that is commonly associated with sprites.
"A fairy?" asked Shayla. The fairy fluttered over to the blind girl and brushed her face with her wings. Shayla giggled a little
"AAAAHHHHHH!" a high pitched scream echoed through the labyrinth.
"What was that?" asked Mai.
"Someone is in trouble!" cried Yu-Gi. The fairy took off.
"Come on!" said Joe as they began to follow her.
Then a low grinding noise vibrated through the maze. The walls and floors shook.
"Tell me that isn't what I think it is," moaned Joe. A large violet tank appeared behind them. It was covered with seven razor sharp drills. Its yellow, narrow windows glowed like evil eyes.
"A Labyrinth Tank!" exclaimed Yu-Gi as he identified the Duel Monster.
"Run for it!" cried Mokuba. They all did without any further urgings. They raced around corners and down passages. Soon they were hopelessly lost, but they were in too much of a panic to care. They raced around a corner, only to find another tank.
"Wrong way!" cried Joe.
"Come on!" urged Yu-Gi as the fairy darted down another hallway.
"Bad choice!" cried Mai as another Labyrinth Tank appeared. They were completely trapped.
"Then we won't run!" cried Yu-Gi. "I summon the Dark Magician. Dark Magic Attack!" His favorite Duel Monster appeared. His dark violet hair poked out from his large conical hat. His cape was dark violet and his armor matched the hat. He held an incredibly long staff with a green orb embedded in the cornucopia like top. He raised this staff and blasted each tank to dust. The graphic were overwhelmingly realistic. Only the Shadow Realm could compete with it. It was obvious the affect of Kaiba's stay in the Shadow Realm had on his developing of the game.
"Yeah!" everyone cheered as they were safe.
"We aren't done yet," said Yu-Gi as he continued to follow the fairy guide. The tiny sprite disappeared around a corner.
"Oh, Eros," a female voice with a slight accept said.
"Someone is here," said Mai as they raced after the fairy, Eros.
"Woah! It is Mokuba!" exclaimed Joe when they saw the person. She did look just like Mokuba. Her hair and her face matched exactly. She had on a flowing pink gown and glittering tiara.
"Were you the one who screamed?" asked Yu-Gi.
"Yes," the girl admitted. "I am lost and afraid. Will you brave heroes help me out?"
"Sure," said Joe with a big smile. "I am Joe, and this is Yu-Gi."
"I am Mai, and the blind girl is Shayla," introduced Mai.
"And I am Mokuba," said Mokuba.
"I am Adina," she said. "And this is Eros, my guardian."
"Pleased to met you," concluded Yu-Gi. "Eros helped us get here."
"I sent her looking for help," said the girl. "I am glad she found some."
Eros began to flit back and forth.
"The exit is near," translated the Mokuba-looking girl. "Once we are out of here I invite you to my house. There we can feast, and you can tell me your stories."
"I am cool with that," smiled Joe at the thought of food. They walked in silence, exchanging small talk.
"What is that thing!?" cried Mai as they reached the end.
"It is the Gate Guardian!" cried Joe.
"This must be another obstacle that was programmed in!" exclaimed Yu-Gi. The Gate Guardian towered over the party. Its robot like legs were blue with the symbol for Suijin, the water element, on its waist. Its mid- section was green and marked by Kazejin, the element of wind. Its small head and chest were made by Sanga of the Thunder and marked by its symbol. The three were know as the labyrinth brothers. The Gate Guardian was one of the top ten strongest Duel Monsters. It moved to attack.
"We beat it once," said Joe, "And we can do it again. Red-Eyes, Black Dragon!" He summoned his monster. It was a bony coal black monster with burning coal red eyes. It had skeleton like wings that reached across many yards. It craned its serpentine monster and snapped menacingly at the Gate Guardian.
"And I chose Summoned Skull!" exclaimed Yu-Gi. His monster looked like a demon without skin. It had bat like wings. Its body was nothing but bones and muscles. It had a demented face, complete with horns and a snout. "And we use Polymerization...."
"To create to Black Skull Dragon!" exclaimed Joe and Yu-Gi together. The monsters merged to become one. The Black Skull Dragon had the frame of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, but the build of the Summoned Skull. Bones and muscle were clear on its chest. Its wings were the same as the Red-Eyes.
"It isn't strong enough!" moaned Mai.
"I still have power-ups," said Joe as he flashed two magic cards.
"Molten Fireball Attack!" Joe and Yu-Gi yelled together. The Gate Guardian was blown to dust.
"Great job, Joe!" cheered Mai.
"You did it!" added Mokuba.
"Such strength," muttered the girl. "Could they be....?"
"Let's get out of here before something else decides to smash us," suggested Shayla. Everyone agreed and they walked out of the labyrinth.
"The princesses is back!" exclaimed a nanny like virtual person.
"Yes, I made it. These kind travelers saved me," said the princess as she embraced her nanny.
"Princess!" exclaimed the rest of the group.
"I am sorry I did not tell you, but I am princess of this realm. Come to my castle. There shall be much feasting and celebrating," Adina said with a smile.
"Let's go!" said Joe, racing a head. "Aren't you glad your brother based such a cool character off of you?" he asked Mokuba.
They all entered the castle and soon were at a large dinner table with the king, queen, and princess. The King was at the head. His wife was to the right and his daughter was to the left. Mokuba sat next to her. Shayla was next to the queen. Mai sat next to Shayla and across from Joe. Yu-Gi was at the other end. The princess was busy telling her father of their passed adventures.
"Indeed we owe you much," said the king. "Is there anything we can do to repay you?"
"Help me find my brother," said Mokuba, immediately.
"Your brother?" asked the queen.
"Yeah, Seto Kaiba. He was kidnapped and held prisoner somewhere and we need to find him," explained Mokuba.
"It has to be him," said the princess sadly. Even Eros seemed depressed.
"What is it?" asked Yu-Gi.
"It is a sad story," said Princess Adina. "Every year our kingdom and our neighbor's have to offer a sacrifice to the legendary dragon to save our realms. If not the dragon will destroy them. The other kingdom has already made their offer, a stranger from a far away land."
"That's my brother!" cried Mokuba.
"And soon, our kingdom shall have to present our offering," she said sadly.
"You can't be serious. You aren't going to offer one of your people?" asked Joe.
"I have volunteered myself," she said with a low sigh.
"What?! You can't be serious?!" Shayla exclaimed.
"But what about Seto? How do we stop this?" asked Mokuba.
"Calm down," suggested Mai, "And keep telling yourself that this is just a game." She got weird looks from the virtual people. "I mean life is just a game, have fun."
"There is an ancient legend our kingdom has," said the king. "Five ancient heroes from a far away land once went to the dark castle and fought against the legendary dragon. They triumphed and saved the lives of both kingdoms."
"Five heroes?" asked Joe.
"The legend also states that those heroes will come back in our darkest hour," finished the king.
"You don't think we are....?" asked Mai.
"You have to be!" exclaimed the queen. "Come." She clapped for a servant. "Show these five to the armor of our national heroes. The battle will begin once more!"
Yu-Gi, Shayla, Mai, Mokuba, and Joe were escorted out of the room and handed ancient armor. They were given rooms to change in. Mai was the first out. She was used to changing so she was very fast.
Mai looked like a valkerie in her stylish pale blue armor. An impressive sword hung by her waist. The forearm protection on her left arm was missing to allow for her holo-disk.
Yu-Gi was the next out. His armor fit him perfectly, despite his small size. He had a sword too, and several daggers. His armor was steel gray, an exact replica from the middle ages. His holo-disk looked out of place.
Shayla was the next out. She wasn't wearing armor, but a black robe complete with a large hood. The sorceress's robe was trimmed with a golden geometric pattern. She held a straight, white staff with a piece of amethyst like rock stuck at the top. Her holo-disk was hidden in the wide sleeves.
"You look good," complimented Mai.
"Thanks, I wish I could say the same," she smiled sheepishly.
"The two of you don't have to come," said Yu-Gi. "It is going to be dangerous."
"If I look this good, I am going to kick some butt," retorted Mai. "Where is Joe?"
"I am not coming out," he protested from the next room.
"It can't be bad," said Mai.
"No, it is worse," he muttered.
"Come on, Joe. Or do I have to go in there and get you?" asked Yu-Gi. Joe reluctantly came out. Mai and Yu-Gi instantly burst into laughter. He was wearing a caveman's outfit, complete with club and bones.
"Nice legs," teased Mai.
"Hey!" protested Joe as he tried to pull his furry toga lower.
"Do not be offended. That is the clothing of our national hero," said the nanny as she walked in with the princess and Mokuba.
"I'm not," said Joe, straightening up.
"You look good, Mokuba," complimented Yu-Gi. Mokuba's armor was almost similar to Yu-Gi's save color. Mokuba nodded in reply.
"They are coming!" a messenger raced in and yelled. Everyone raced to the balcony. They looked into the stormy sky. An evil castle was floating in mid-air.
"Is that....?" asked Joe.
"Yep, the Castle of Dark Illusions," agreed Yu-Gi. It was an ugly golden castle with several sinister towers. A large band the gave it the power of flotation encircled the middle. The band was locked on by a large blue seal. Flying shaped exited the castle and filled the air.
"Oh my gosh!" exclaimed Joe.
"Have you ever seen so many Duel Monsters?" Mai asked. Every kind of Duel Monster with wings was in front of them.
"They'll be after the princess," said Shayla. "We have to protect her!"
"Dark Witch!" Summoned Mai. "Battle Spear Strike!" Her Dark witch appeared. It had a tight light green dress on and dark navy hair. She had elfin ear and wings that match the color of her hair. Her spear was as long as she was. The Dark Witch began to impale the enemy Duel Monsters left and right. But there was just too many.
"Call it back!" cried Yu-Gi. "there are too many! We need another plan." Mai complied.
"Now what?" asked Joe.
"Dark Ho...." Yu-Gi began to use a magic card. It would eliminate every Duel Monster in the area. But a knife was thrown and knocked it out of his hand.
"What the?" asked Shayla when she heard the knife hit the ground.
"It is the Armed Ninja!" exclaimed Joe.
"It is after the princess!" added Yu-Gi. The Armed Ninja's face was hidden. It wore a black ninja suit with blue and red trim. It had a blue ponytail with golden clips. Various weapons hung from its waist. It was sitting on top of the castle tower, ready to strike.
"I summon...." Shayla began to say. That was when the Armed Ninja threw a smoke bomb at the balcony. Everyone was seized by fits of coughing. In that brief moment the Armed Ninja shot out a net, which ensnared the princess. It began to haul her up to the roof.
"No!" cried Joe. "Kunai with Chain!" His magic card severed the rope and the princess began to drop back to the balcony. But before the group could celebrate another winged Duel Monster intercepted her and flew off. All of the Duel Monsters retreated to the Caste of Dark Illusions with their prize.
"No! They took Mokuba!" cried the princess as she ran forward. Everyone turned around and gasped. The princess was still there, wearing Mokuba's armor. Mokuba had been the one in the dress, the one who had been kidnapped.
