Rika heared Takato slam against the closet door yet again, but still to no effect.
Takato was starting to get pissed, but calmed himself down.
"Listen Rika, you'll have to find a way to unlock the door yourself"
"Mmmm,mm"
Rika tried to tell him it was no good but she couldn't even do that. It was ptich Black
inside the closet, there was no room to move, and she couldn't get her hands free.
She tried slipping them through over and over but they were too tight.
Takato realized there was one way for Rika to free herself. He took his shoe off for a second and broke the window,
glass shattering everywhere. Takato took one of the pieces and slid it under.
"I slid a piece of glass under the door, reach for it and use it to cut the ropes"
Rika's fingers itched around, and found the piece of glass in no time. The glass cut her finger tips, though her scream
was muffled by the gag. At first it proved hard to cut through with her hands bound so tightly together, however the glass
soon started to cut through until she eventualy was able to cut through the knot. She untied her ankles and then ungagged
herself. She stood herself up and saw the silver door knot gleaming briefly. She unlocked the door and opened.
"Allright, you did it"said Takato.
"Thanks Takato, though I'd perfer to have saved myself"said Rika.
"No time for that now, we have to get out of here"
Takato went over to open the door, however it was locked. He began pounding on the door and yelling
for attention, but the rest of the ship seemed silent.
"They must all be up there dueling, we're trapped here"said Rika.
"Not good, that means we have to wait for Malik to come back. I don't think he'll settle for just tying us up
again"panicked Takato.
"Calm down, we have time to think of a plan"said Rika.
"Yeah, that's true"said Takato.
"I just hope the duel above lasts a lot longer"thought Rika.
*************************************************************************************************************
The score stood at Henry with fifteen hundred lifepoints while Yami stood at sixteen hundred.
Yami had a Summoned Skull while Henry had no cards out in play.
The ones who were cold held back the urge to say so, not that Kaiba would care, but they wanted to stay and watch
the duel.
"Watch closely servant, because you'll have to defeat one of those two, or possibly Kaiba"warned Yami Malik telepathicly.
Alice nodded, unoticed by anyone.
Henry drew his next card, not all too nervous.
Henry growled, he had nothing in his hand all too worthwhile it seemed.
"I place a monster in defence mode, and end my turn"
Yami drew, and snickered.
"Now I summon Alpha the Magnet Warrior!"
The silver magnet like creature with a sword for an arm appeared on the field.
It's stats showed as 14/1700
"Summoned Skull, destroy his defence card!"
Mechanical Chaser was revealed quickly before being destroyed.
"Now Alpha, direct attack!"
Henry fell back down, his lifepoints now standing at one hundred.
"Looks like it's over, that was quick"said Joey.
Henry drew, and snickered.
"Huh?"gasped Yami.
"Now I play Dark Magic Curtain. Giving half my lifepoints, I can summon any high level
monster I wish, so now I summon my Egyptian God Card!"
"AW!"
"Arrise, Slyther the Sky Dragon!"
"What!"gasped Kaiba.
"Very good, the pharoah is finished"said Malik.
"Now we just need to crush Malik"said Yami Bakura.
The giant Red dragon wrapped it's scaly body all around Kaiba craft, yet was still able to rise high above everyone.
Everyone gaped at the size of the creature, as it gave off a roar like no other.
**************************************************************************************************************
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"gasped Takato falling backwards.
"What is it goggle head?"asked Rika looking for a weapon.
"L,L,Look at that!"
Rika turned her head around and gasped at the sight of the Egyptian God monster's body
trapping them in.
"That's the God card Malik used against me in our battle, that means Malik must be dueling"thought Rika.
Takato squirmed backwards all the way across the room and against the wall.
"That thing's enourmous, what is it?"thought Takato.
**************************************************************************************************************
Yami couldn't believe his eyes, either could Kaiba.
"This makes no sense, where did the kid get Slyther from?"thought Kaiba.
"First I place this card face down, now then, the number of cards in my hand detirmine
Slyther's attack points, making it's attack and defense power two thousand. Now destroy his
Magnet Warrior!"
Yami covered himself from the blast, his lifepoints dropping to one thousand, while Henry's was at fifty.
Henry nodded, signaling the turn to Yami, who drew.
"I must win this Henry, and that's what I'll do. Summoned Skull, attack!"
Henry snickered.
"Activate Jar of Greed. This let's me draw a card, making Slyther's power three thousand!"
Summoned Skul''s attack fizzled out, and it recieved a blast from Slyther in it's place. Yami covered
himself again, his lifepoints dropping to five hundred.
"My turn isn't over yet, I summon Big SHield Gardna"
The overly muscular sub human hid behind an enourmous shield, with it's stats as 100/2600.
"Activate second mouth! This will blast two thousand points from your monster's mode, if your
monster's points are lower then two thousand, it's wiped out"
Fourtanately Big Shield Gardna's defence was high enough to withstand the attck.
"Now I place a card face down, and end my turn"
Henry drew.
"Now my monster's attack is four thousand. Slyther, attack!"
Big Shield Gardna was destroyed. Yami drew.
"Allright Henry, this duel ends"
"What?"
"Activate trap card, Soul Line. This forces you to discard the number of cards in your hand equal
to the number of turns it's been on the field. So you discard two cards, making SLyther's power two thousand.
Then I play Monster Reborn, bring back my Summoned Skull! Now attack!"
Henry's lifepoints were wiped out quickly.
Henry fell to his knees from the attack, Roland announcing Yugi as the winner.
"You failed!"growled Malik and Yami Bakura in usion.
Yami walked over, making Henry lift his head up.
"I promise you Henry, I will get your friends back once I defeat Malik. Now, I need Slyther"
Henry handed it over to him, got up and walked away.
After a brief reunion with the others, everyone was brought down to find out the next duel.
"So now Yugi has an egyptian god card, which means when I beat him, I'll regain my rank and
get an Egyptian God card"thought Kaiba.
The selector went off, pairing the next two duelists. The first number came out, number five.
"Number five, Alice!"
Alice smiled, now an opprotunity to prove herself to her master.
The selector went again, and this time number two came out.
"Number two, Joey Wheeler!"
"Sweet! Time to rock"said Joey.
"Go get'er Joey"said Serenity.
Yami Malik contacted Alice telepathicly.
"Allright mindslave, Joey WHeeler's a nobody. So if he proves too difficult for you,
then don't even imagine your chances against Yugi or Kaiba"
"Joey's mine"
Alice walked into the elevator, as did Joey, while the others took the lift.
Kaiba seemed rather amused.
"One of the world's most thrird rate duelist against my "biggest fan" This should be
entertaining"thought Kaiba.
Alice and Joey shuffled one another's decks, and went to their dueling positions.
"Good luck, I don't plan on going easy on yas"
Alice shrugged.
"Oh well, I guess I'll manage"said Alice.
Roland announced the start of the match, and both of them activated their dueldisks.
**********************************************************************************************************************
Rika couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Takato, what the hell are you doing"said Rika as Takato opened the window.
"I'm gonna try climbing out of here and make it to the outside of the blimp
so I can unlock the door"said Takato.
Rika pulled him back and slammed the window shut.
"Don't be stupid Takato, you'd never make it"
"THen what do we do"said Takato.
"We'll think of something, but trying to climb around the blimp is suicide"said Rika.
Suddenly, a light was shining from the ground, and someone was coming out from it.
***************************************************************************************************************************
Both duelists drew thei opening hands, their lifepoints both set at a full four thousand.
"Ladies first"said Joey with that happy go lucky smirk on his face.
"Oh boy, his ego's showing"said tea hand over her face.
Alice drew.
"I'll start with King Tiger Whangu"
On the field appeared a silverish white Black striped lion with some rather weak armor on it's back.
It's stats showed as 1700/1000
"Kings have no use for the weak, as does this monster. So that means weaklings are excluded from the duel.
You can not play any monsters with an attack of fourteen hundred or lower"said Alice, her toen becoming
serious.
"Whoa, careful Joey, she means buisness"said Tea.
"Don't underestimate her Joey"said Tristan.
"Now I place one card face down. I end turn"
Joey drew, and that smirk appeared on his face.
Alice's expression didn't change.
"Oh boy, he better watch it"thought Yugi.
"Your king's about to be abdicated. I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight!"
An almost human like metalic monster appeared, with one arm as a shield, the other as a sword.
It's stats showed as 1800/1600.
"Attack King Tiger Wahngu"
Alice swung her arm over the field, a trap card activating.
"Go Shadow Spell! It will ensnare your monster, lowering it's attack power by seven hundred points"
Gearfried was now bound in chains, it's attack dropping to eleven hundred.
Joey signaled the end of his turn, Alice drawing.
"Now I summon Saphire Dragon!"
A large crystal shaped dragon appeared, it's stas showing as 1900/1000.
"King Tigeer Wahngu, attack his monster!"
The tiget just tore right through the Iron Knight, lowering Joey's lifepoints to thirty four hundred.
"Now I attack with Satphire Dragon!"
Joey fell backwards from the blast, his lifepoints dropping to Fifteen Hundred.
"Now I place three cards face down, and end my turn"
Yami Malik was pleased, giving a nod towards Alice when she looked at him.
"She really is something"thought Joey.
"I don't know, she's not as carefree as she's letting on, I can sense something from her, something dark.
She's more dangerous then we expected, Joey could be in over his head"thought Yugi.
"Go ahead my mindslave!"said Yami Malik telepathicly"Finish off Joey so we can move onto the real fight"
