Alright onto the next chapter. What will happen this time, I wonder. Perhaps a little mind control? Wish me luck.

I continued walking towards the stadium, when I heard some smashing from behind me. "Who's there?!" I called turning around.

"Oh, just some friends," A man said walking out. "Young man, we're here to take you to our master Marik."

"Ha, like you could catch me? Let's see how you can do against powers of the Shadow Realm." I said holding out my deck. *Hope my ring will work.* I thought. "Come forth Dark Magician," I pulled out my magician's card and held it out. The card glowed and the magician then stood in front of me and held his staff out towards the man. "Dark Magician, attack the rare hunter and send him to the shadow realm."

The magician then cast a spell and made the man disappear.

I then summoned back the magician and kept walking to the stadium.

Meanwhile...

"Joey and Tea better be alright." Yugi said to Yami.

"I'm sure they'll be alright, but we must stop Marik!" Yami replied to Yugi, furiously. "Kaiba how far are we away from the dock?" He turned to Kaiba.

"Yugi, we are two more minutes away." Kaiba replied.

"Yugi, we're almost there, I remember this is where I last left Tea." Mokuba said to Yami.

"What about Sean? Do you think he'll be okay Yami?" Yugi asked privately.

"I'm sure he'll be fine, after all he has a Millenium Item too." Yami replied.

Now back to where I am...

I continued walking until I reached the pier and noticed someone standing on one of the docks, in fact two people. I started walking towards them, looking around just in case. When I recognized who the two were I stopped walking and ran up to them calling, "Joey! Tea! Over here!"

"Ah, looks like our first guest has arrived." Joey said in a hollowed voice.

"Wh-what? Wait a second; I know who you are, MARIK!" I said stunned. "Release Yugi's friends Marik or I will." Holding up my Millenium Ring.

"Ahh, so you are a Millenium Item wielder. Well, we'll have to take that Item, won't we my servants." Marik said through Tea's mouth.

"Yes Master Marik." Joey and Tea said in a trance.

"Wrong Marik, you are not getting that Millenium Item, and I will be the one to stop you." A voice said behind me.

Yami/Yugi's POV

"Ahh, Pharaoh, just who I was hoping to see. I'm sure you remember your friends." Joey said.

"Marik, release them at once!" I said furiously.

"Slim chance that that is happening Pharaoh." Marik said through Tea's mouth. "We will duel for your friends. If you win I will release them, but if I win I get your puzzle and your power. I will battle through Joey."

"Never, I will not put my friends on the line." I said to Marik.

"You don't have a choice." Marik replied.

"Fine, let's duel." I said back.
