Mark: Sorry took a while to update, here's a quick grammar-less explanation if you care about it. Computer get broke, computer-smart bro-n-law perform computer surgery, computer un-broke, yay. Here new chapter of story, yay. OH and Marik, I don't think we'll be that lucky. (just kidding)

Disclaimer: Mark doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh! But we're guessin you knew that.

Summary: Kaiba fakes, and the real Kaiba appear, along with the appearance of an odd character thought to be extinct, it's a laughable calm before the storm.

Chapter 4, Kaiba, Kaiba, Kaiba, and… Rex Raptor?

The four, still in their school uniforms mind you, had made their way up from the basement to the 1st floor with little incident. Well, except for the bruises Tea gave Tristan for staring up her skirt, but that's a different story. Back to things that relate to the plotline, Yami was staring at the golden cylinder that was the first key piece, as well as the Darkner Card Fiendish Trickery, he, of course, already had come up with a killer combo to accommodate his newest trap card.

"You know Joey, because the two of us are working together we will get the puzzle pieces twice as fast."

"Ya got dat right Yug."

"So, where do you think we should go next sexy- I mean Yami." Tea asked.

"Well I think we should go up that gigantic flight of stairs."

Tristan looked around the room, "Hey guys, haven't we been here before?"

"Naw I don't dink so, why do you say dat?"

Tristan looked at a sign that said "Welcome to the Kaniya Mansion," Except Kaniya was crossed out and Meader had been written above it with a what appeared to be a giant sharpie. "Oh, nothing, I guess it's just my imagination." And with that, they headed towards the stairs.

"Did you guys hear a hissing noise?" Tea inquired.

"No but I see a duelist ova dere in da shadows, and he's all mine." Joey ran over, but then the man jumped out of the shadows and let out a rather annoying laugh.

He was tall, yet very scrawny, he wore a brown wig and had on a blue trenchcoat with green shirt and pants underneath. "I AM SETO KAIBA! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!"

The four friends looked on with disdain.

"Your not Kaiba-chan." Tea piped up.

"Sure I am."

"No your not." Tristan added.

"OF COURSE I AM!"

"Naw ya not. Kaiba woulda challenged Yugs insteada me, plus ya look nuthin like Kaiba."

"I AM SETO KAIBA! I AM I AM I AM! AND TO PROVE IT I'LL BEAT YOU IN A DUEL!"

"NO! Your not Seto Kaiba! You can't be! BECAUSE I AM!"

A short fat guy in a purple coat robe type thing stepped out of the shadows. "AND I challenge Yugi to a duel, after you duel Joey, you wannabe!"

The four friends plus Wannabe Kaiba #1 started laughing.

"WHAT?"

"YOU LOOK NOTHING LIKE KAIBA YOUR SHORT YOUR FAT AND YOUR HAIR IS BLUE HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"And your all six of you pathetic." A newer, stern voice cut in. Coming down the stairs was a tall, broad shouldered man. Brown hair hung down to the end of his neck and fell all around his deep, piercing blue eyes. He wore a black shirt and black pants with a sleeveless white coat about him. It was the real Seto Kaiba.

"Hello Kaiba." Yami said indifferently.

"Are you still wasting your time with these fools Yugi? Well I find that to be the most pathetic act of al-" but our favorite CEO was cut short, by the Wannabes.

"NO I'M KAIBA!"

"NO! I'M THE REAL KAIBA!"

"NO, I AM!"

"NO, ME!"

"ME!"

"ME!"

"ME!"

"ME!"

"SHUT UP YOU INSOLENT FOOLS!" The real Kaiba roared from the middle of the stare case, his blue eyes flashing brilliantly.

"Kaiba," Yami began, "We could use your help, if you Joey and I team up, we could get out of here in almost no time, and find the fiends who took us all away from our daily lives."

Tea made her agreement known, "Yea! I'm on my period already and I need some-" fortunately for all you readers Tristan put his hand over Tea's mouth.

Kaiba was reeling from the comments of the girl, but managed to answer Yami in his normal fashion. "Sorry Yugi, but I work alone, I don't need anyone else's help to win, and I make my own destiny." And with that he walked off.

"Damn, I'm gonna start callin dat guy One-Note-Kaiba." Joey said watching his rival walk away. Then he turned back to what had been occupying him before, "Alright you two time ta duel Joey Wheel-" But the two wannabes were dueling, we take you now to the exciting action.

"Allright now I summon my most fearsome and powerful monster, UNFEARSOME OR POWERFUL WARRIOR! (10/1½ ) Attack his SLUG WITH TUBERCULOSIS(1/-4)!

Wannabe Kaiba #1 3999

Wannabe Kaiba #2 3971½

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT'S MY BEST CARD!"

"Ok it's time to get going, this duel is going to take forever." And for once, they all agreed with Tristan.

They soon came across there next challenge though. Though it was in the form of something stranger than the Wannabes.

Rex Raptor.

Rex looked indifferently at Joey, Joey looked indifferently at Rex.

"Hey Joey."

"Hey Rex."

"How's it going?"

"Good, good, and you?"

"Fine, fine. WANNA DUEL?"

"HELL YA!"

20 minutes later…

Joey 2400

Rex 1100

"Sorry ta do dis to ya Rex, but I attack wit Jinzo(2400/whocareswhatthedefensepointsareanyway?), demolish his Warrior-Dino(1900/1000 with Cyba Shocka!

The tall man in green robes and armor built up a ball of dark energy in his hands and hurled it at the humanoid Dinosaur person, vaporizing it instantly.

Joey 1900

Rex 1600

Joey's eye boggled, "WHAT, HOW COME I LOST POINTS AND YOU GAINED EM?!"

"My trap card, duh. Meet the Darkner Card I earned against a hired duelist Wheeler, Counter Balance Reality! Anytime I am dealt a loss of life points instead I gain that many while you lose that many, so sorry to disappoint you but you'll only be hurting yourself now when you attack me, hahaha!"

Joey was perplexed, though Joey didn't know that because perplexed wasn't in his personal vocabulary. But what he did know was that because of Rex's Darkner Card he was royally boned.

"You and ya card can't scare me Rex! I end my turn."

Rex drew a card and then put it in his hand, leaving himself wide open for an attack, seeing as how he no longer needed to defend himself. "I end my turn."

On the sidelines Tea was getting worried, "Oh Pharaoh," she said, brushing up against him, "Rex's Darkner Card is too strong, if Joey attacks Rex, he'll lose life points and Rex will just gain them, what's he going to do?"

Yami could hardly respond because Tea's breasts where right next to his face, and he couldn't help but notice how perky they were. "Don't worry Tea, Joey's an expert duelist, one card can't beat him."

In the background Tristan was humming, 'Can you feel the love tonight.'

Joey drew, and gave a smile worthy of a tooth paste commercial, "It's all ova now Rex, I play the magic card I just drew, Ectoplasm! Thanks to ya own Darkner Card, ya just about ta lose! Ectoplasm lets me sacrifice monstas or life points to deal damage directly to ya!"

"You idiot, with my Darkner Card, that'll just give me life points and cause you to lose them."

"Ya, it would, if I was gonna attack ya wit it. Ya see I can't help but notice that your trap works for both of us, so when I should pay life points to make Ectoplasm work, I gain them instead, while you lose them! I'll charge up Ectoplasm by 1600 and that will end tha duel, I win!"

Joey 3500

Rex 0

"Damn! Oh well, here's our bet, 4 puzzle pieces, and since I have to, here's Counter Balance Reality."

"Thanks fa duelin me Rex, ya actually had me worried dere for a second."

"Good job Joey!" Tea said coming over.

"Nice one buddy!"

"Well played Joey, but one thing still perplexes me."

"What's perplezzotcs?"

Told ya.

"Well Joey it means… nevermind. Anyway, you've never had Ectoplasm in your deck before, where'd you get it?"

"Well I kinda stole it from Ryou's deck one day, ya see we bumped into each other and dropped our decks. Lata I found I had his Ectoplasm card by mistake, and I just neva remembered ta take it back."

"A likely story." Tea said suspiciously.

"Well good job Wheeler, I guess I'll be on my way now, one puzzle piece, one key piece, and no Darkner Card. All alone, no one to keep me company, or to cheer me on, just me, by myse-"

"We get da picture Rex, you can come along if ya want to."

"SCORE!"

Authors notes:

Mark: What can I say, I've always had a soft spot for Rex. Sorry bout skipping over a lot of the duel, 20 minutes of it to be precise. But it would have been boring, Rex has weak monster, Joey has stronger monster, Joey kill weaker monster, Rex's trap card hurts Joey, repeat cycle. So I figured just skip to the climax. Well, if you have any criticisms, praise, duelists, strategies, please review. Aw hell if you don't have any of those review anyway, I could use some reviews, even though I have more reviews per chapter than I have in a long time, thanks to those who have reviewed!
