Chapter 5

'You know you cannot hold me back…' the spirit whispered. 'N-no, I'll kill myself before letting you out!' Ryou mentally thought. 'You're truly a fool, letting your mind speak had left part of your body weakened!' An evil laughter rang within his head. Ryou thought of all of the training he went through. It hit him! 'Think nothing, and be nothing.' The Pharaoh had said to him. 'That way the tomb robber has nothing to control.' As Ryou began these actions, Bakura saw the mental image of his vessel slip away. The thief began swearing loudly.

'I'll get you again…' he said before disappearing.

~Ship 4~

Of the four ships the fourth was the worst. Jounouchi was in a fight with several drunken duelists who apparently bought some brews off of some guys who sneaked it on the ship. He just got hit over the head with a half empty beer bottle. "Stick to empties for crying out loud!" Jounouchi said.

Another duelist came up to jounouchi, "hey baby!" he said and planted a kiss right on Jounouchi's face.

 He was immediately socked in the face, and thrown across the room.

In another part of the ship, several men were beating up Haga.

" Should be quivering in fear, for I am Inspector Haga the Regional- Ahhh!" "I don't give a shit who you are! Give us your deck!" 

"But I'm the Regional Champion! The Regional Champion!" The two guys were knocked over by another guy thrown across the room. Haga found Jounouchi's deck box on the floor a little later.

"Hee hee!" he quietly laughed as added a card, then took another one away.

~Ship 2~

Ryou could not protect himself any longer and Bakura took over. "Hey buddy, are you okay?"

"…"

"Hey I was talking,"

"Quiet Mortal!" Bakura's icy voice rang out.

"Huh? I was only asking if"

"Silence you insolent fool!" A dark shadow was cast above the man, and a black shadow appeared from nowhere, with it mouth wide open…

"Ah! Nooooooo…."

' Only one soul in my soul jar… I need more…'

~Ship 1~

"Now Valkyrion, Attack Him directly! Thunderous Backlash Swing!" The magnet warrior swung down then brought the sword up faster than before, it made a deep cut into Shiro's life points. (S:0000) tears began to form in Shiro's eyes, 'how could I lose?' he thought.

"Attention Duelists!" A speaker on all the ships announced. "The battle ships are near the Duel Island port!" a murmur swept through the crowd on all of the boats. "Please be ready for the arrival, that is all."

Seto walked to a private room at the front of the ship. A screen lit up showing Isis and Mokuba. "Ah, Seto, I'm glad you have responded." Isis said calmly. Her face was very calm and relaxed. "What do you want?" The elder Kaiba said in a rather cold tone. "Nii-san! Isis has the island ready!" "Good, I want all parts of the Island ready." "Kaiba, I sent you a small pack of cards just as we agreed for our deal." Five cards popped out of the slot near the computer, Set picked them up and looked through them. "These will do well…"

"Arrival to island estimated to 15 minuets." A computerized voice said.

Kaiba watched the sun rise behind his island. The Pyramid was the first thing seen. On either side were two towers where the duelists could stay. In front of the Pyramid was a forest, which led to the docks. There was also a wasteland, with nothing but sand and some rocks. Behind the pyramid was a group of mountains; that he designed to keep cold even during the summer. There was a waterfall next to the east tower and lakes and river were all over the island. On the east tower, meadows and streams covered the area.

"Arriving at the dock please be ready to depart." The speaker said.

The ships came to a stop and Seto headed down stairs to get off.

" Get out of my way." He merely said. And the whole crowd on the first ship waited for him to get off first. About thirty suits greeted Kaiba. They all got on a small yet expensive looking tram, which headed for the Sphinx in front of the Pyramid.

'Kaiba sure knows how to get around in style.' Yugi thought to himself. / You really should look for Jounouchi. / The pharaoh said appearing next to Yugi. \ You're right, let's go. \ Yugi walked up and down the arrival docks looking for Jounouchi. He wasn't looking where he was going and walked right into someone's breasts.

"Gomen! I'm really sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going!"

"That's really a lame excuse just to touch me little-" she paused to look at who she was talking to.

"Yugi! Is that you?"

 "Mai? I haven't seen you in a long time!"

"Okay Yugi, what your story for walking right into me."

"I was looking for Jounouchi, Seriously!" /Yeah right, aibou! You know you like walking into her. /

\ Shut up, Yami. You probably took over me just to walking into her. \  

"Well let me help you, I'm looking for him too." Mai responded.

"Okay, thanks." Just as they were about start looking Yugi heard someone calling him.

"Yugi!" Honda, Shizuka, and Anzu called. "Anzu! Honda! What are you doing here?" "We snuck on!" Shizuka said who seemed to be proud of herself. "Yeah, nothing will stop us from watching our little buddy and Jou duel." Honda followed up.

"Have you seen Jounouchi?" Anzu asked.

"No, we're looking for him!" "Yugi! Honda!" Jounouchi called out, running towards them. "My trip here was hell!" he exclaimed. He saw Shizuka with Anzu. "Sis? What are you doing here?"

"Anzu and Honda took her along to sneak on the boat!" Mai explained

"That's cool." Jounouchi said. "Well, since we're all here let's go to that Pyramid! Everyone seems to be heading there."   

The gang found two tramcars to take to the Pyramid. Yugi, Mai, Jounouchi, and Shizuka sat in the first car. Anzu and Honda sat in the second. "Hey! Anzu! Yugi! Wait up!" Someone yelled. The gang turned to see Ryou Bakura running after them. He hopped in the second card and them tramcars were signaled to leave. "I'm glad I found you. I didn't want to walk there." He said gratefully. A screen dropped down from the ceiling on both cars, and lit up. "Welcome to the Duel Island." A voice said.
