Cat and Yugi sat quietly as they made their way to the training house. They had changed out of their royalty outfit and were now in jeans and T-shirt like they normally wore. Both had their deck strapped to their sides. Once they got to the house, Yugi rapped on the door. He gasped when the door opened to reveal Joey.
"Yugi! We finally found ya!" he said as he pulled him inside.
"Hey Mai! I found them." He yelled through the house. Cat watched in surprise as she followed Yugi inside. Mai walked out of a room as she flashed the two a smile.
"'Bout time we found you two. We were starting to get worried." She said.
"Have you guys been here the whole time?" Yugi asked. Joey and Mai nodded.
"What about you?" Mai asked. "Where did you guys start off Cat?"
Cat looked startled. " Start off?" Cat said looked puzzled. " What do you mean? And how…how do you know my name?" She asked looking from Yugi and then back to Mai and Joey. "Did Yugi tell you? And Yugi, how do you know them?" she asked. The other three blinked in surprise as they stared at her. Yugi gave Mai and Joey a look that said, 'I'll explain later.'
"Well," Yugi said trying to think of a reason. "We are the prince and princess right? So it's obvious that they know who we are." He said. Cat nodded as she walked off to observe the house as Mai and Joey looked to Yugi for an explanation.
"Prince and princess?" Mai asked. Yugi shrugged. "Hey I was just as confused as you."
"What's going on with her?" Joey asked as he looked in the direction that Cat had gone when she left the room.
Yugi shrugged. "I have no idea. She has no idea who you guys are or Kaiba either. She acted like she had never heard of him."
"Cat, not know who Kaiba is? That's weird." Mai said.
"I know, it's like she thinks this is real and that the real world doesn't exist." Yugi said.
Joey shrugged his shoulder. "Maybe Kaiba will know what to do." He said.
"Is he here?" Yugi asked. Joey and Mia looked at each other.
"We kinda assumed that he would be with Cat." Mai said.
"He wasn't with us." Yugi said. "I guess I thought he would be with you guys."
"So if he's isn't with you and he wasn't with us… where is he then?" Joey asked.

Seto stared with a bored attention as the counsel continued deliberations. He already knew that the outcome would be. No one went against the prince, especially when the prince was him.
"All right, then it is settled." The king said as Seto looked at him. "Prince Seto will go to a training house in the enemy territory and search for the crystal." Everyone nodded and gave grunts of approval as they looked to Seto. Seto looked back at them with his normal bored expression. Seto stood up and walked out of the room, his black cape billowing behind him. Seto walked to his room to begin preparations for his mission. First he had to get the enemy to allow him into a training house, and then he had to find the crystal. Thank goodness he had had the foresight to keep his name a secret. If the opposing kingdom knew that he was the prince of Tlanth then it would be all over. He smirked as he reached his room. But they didn't know and he was going to get that crystal.
"It's about time they let me have my own mission." He said as he prepared to leave.
"I am the best duelist out of anyone in this entire kingdom." He said as he looked at his deck. He looked through his deck until he saw his blue eyes.
"And I bet that I am the best duelist in their kingdom too!" he said with a laugh as he left and started getting ready to leave.
