United We Stand

"You imbisiles! So much for my Spear Dragon"said Kaiba.

"Excuse us for saving your hide"said Joey.

"I didn't need your help. I have plunty of

monsters who could crush Spear Dragon"

"You couldn't control them if you can't control that Spear Dragon"

said Joey.

"Spear Dragon was simply foolish, my other monsters will obey me"

"Shut up!"

Joey and Kaiba turned to the obviously enraged Dejiro.

"This isn't some game! My sister's life hangs in the balance here!

I wasn't there for her when those sickos raped her! I'm not gonna stand back while

they continue having their way with her! I don't care if I have to do this alone or not, I'm gonna

get out of here and bring my sister home where she belongs"

Dejiro ran off quickly.

"Dejiro, wait!"called Yami.

Joey was still somewhat stunned by the anger in Dejiro's face, Yami wasn't

very fast so couldn't catch him and Kaiba really didn't care.

"Dejiro's right, arguing will get us nowhere"said Yami.

"Well, we better follow him"said Joey.

Yami nodded.

"Go ahead, I can handle myself"

Kaiba walked the opposite direction. They both knew they weren't gonna

convince Kaiba, so they walked the opposite path. Kaiba could defend himself,

Dejiro they weren't so sure of.

Dejiro stopped, taking a breath.

"I need better transportation"he said.

He drew from his monster arsenal, and got Cyber Falcon.

"Go Cyber Falcon!"

It had an ATK of 1400 and DEF of 1200.

"Cyber Falcon, can you fly me across the desert?"asked Dejiro.

The Cyber Falcon gave out a caw and bent over, it's wings

spreading out.

"Thanks, I appreciate this"

Dejiro sat ontop as Cyber Falcon took off.

The thrill was scary and thrilling, however he kept himself focused on his real mission:To bring

his sister Jane back home safe and sound.

Meanwhile, Yami and Joey walked their way, no sign of civilasation.

"This is totaly bogus"said Joey.

"Keep calm Joey, we'll make it out soon enough. I just hope

Dejiro and Kaiba can"said Yami.

"I'm more worried about Dejiro. Kaiba's a great duelist but we

don't know anything about Dejiro's skills. He could be in over

his head"thought Yugi.

Watching was Vendick, along with Calbaci

and Gallion.

"This is boring"said Calback.

"I know, they aren't even doing anything"said Gallion.

"Don't worry boys, I have a feeling things are going to

get good real soon. In the meantime, I have some

buisness to get to"

Vendick walked back into Jane's cell, where she layed on her side, her

face turned away from Vendick, her hands still bound together.

"How do we feel today?"asked Vendick.

Jane refused to respond.

"Not very respectful are we?"

Vendick opened the cell door and sat beside Jane. Jane gulped

quitely, her stomach feeling like it had a bomb in it. Her body

tensed, she closed her eyes. She knew Vendick came here for more

then to check on her and she couldn't do anything to stop it.

He put his cold, clammy hand on her face. Oh so cold! She flinched

but besides that did nothing. If she tried to resist in any way

she would get beaten, of course he'd always made sure to beat her

at least once a day.

"Such a tender face. I had a sister like you once, but she was a child of light

as well. Looky here, you haven't even sipped your water"

Vendick knew as well as Jane that she couldn't sip any with her hands tied

behind her back. He sat her up, and poored it slowly down her throat.

It felt so refreshing, she wanted more.

Of course the water was drugged, so Jane soon found herself fast asleep.

"Rest easy girl"

He took her sneakers off and carried them away. She didn't need them

anymore, not where she was going.

Her last thoughts before falling alseep were "SOmeone, anyone, stop this!"

"This is taking too long Yug, at this rate we'll be elders by the time

we get out of this realm"said Joey.

"I assure you Joey, we'll escape in time. We just have to keep going"said Yami.

From out of nowhere appeared a Giant Soldier of Stone.

It had an ATK of 1300 and DEF of 2000.

"A Duel Monster. I've seen this one before, he'll be easy to trash. Allright deck, don't let me down"

The monster he drew was Seyaru, Matt's card.

It had an ATK of 2500 and DEF of 2300.

"Come on out Seyaru!"

"Joey, be careful!"gasped Yami.

Seyaru appeared with a roar.

"Allright Seyaru, let's toast that overgrown pebble!"

However Seyaru merely roared again.

"I knew it, Seyaru's too powerful for Joey to control. I'll have

to get a monster out"thought Yugi.

The Giant Soldier of Stone tried slicing Joey in half, however Joey leaped back.

"Please Seyaru, Matt treasured you, so do I. You're a symbol of our friendship,

please, do it for Matt!"

Calback was amused at Joey's words.

"Idiot, Seyaru dosen't have such memories, you can't control him"

Seyaru blasted at Joey.

"Aw man, there's nowhere I can run, this is it"thought Joey.

"My Dark Magician, I know he'll obey me"thought Yugi.

"Farewell Joey Wheeler"said Calback.

Seyaru's attack collided with another attack. The 2 exploded together,

leaving Joey safe.

"Dark Magician, awesome!"said Joey.

"Dark Magician, don't destroy Seyaru, he belongs to Joey"said Yami.

"Understood Pharoah. The other one?"

"Destroy him!"

"Got it!"

The Soldier of Stone swung it's sword down, which Dark Magician easily blocked with his

septor.

"Child's Play. It's insulting you would challenge the Pharoah with such

a pitiful weapon"

Seyaru fired a massive fireball straight at Dark Magician.

"Oh no, I have to do something!"thought Joey drawing from his

Trap arsenal.

"Go Magic Arm Shield!"

A shiled came out with 2 arms. Dark Magician was suprised as the Stone Soldier was

pulled right behind him, and into Seyaru's blast.

The Stone Soldier was now a pile of rubble. Seyaru turned around

to face Joey.

"C'mon Seyaru, take your best shot!"

Seyaru saw that look in Joey's eyes. Joey was actualy gonna

just take the blast.

"If you truly hate me then take your best shot!"

"I hope Joey knows what he's doing, that Seyaru may actualy be prepared to

strike Joey"thought Yugi.

"Dark Magician, go into defence"ordered Yami.

Dark Magician nodded and stood to a knee, his septor covering most

of his body.

Seyaru hovered down onto the ground, and lowered it's head.

Joey pat on it, and Seyaru felt wanted.

With a roar, Seyaru turned around.

"You'll let us ride on your back?"

Seyaru nodded.

"Awesome, let's go Yug!"

"Dark Magician return!"

The Dark Magician went back inside Yami's deck and once they were on top, Seyaru

took flight.

"I owe you big Seyaru"said Joey.

Seyaru gave another roar and soared on.

Calback snickered.

"Why the smile? They survived"said Gallion.

"Well at least we got some action. It wouldn't be much

fun if they died right away. This is only the beggining, let's see if they can all make it to

the climaxc. And what a climax it'll be!"
