I HATE YOU.

Fire: I love you too! ^__^ **gives Eden a BIG HUG: ((( grr!!!!! Okay, I'm gonna make this chapter as long as I can and as detailed as I can and I will try to stretch the story...hey! maybe I'll make it like 24 hours, a chapter on each hour of their journey heh heh...no, I don't think I'll do that....but I really will try to stretch it out. Sorry for all of you who "died" waiting for me to update....school is annoying. Oh yeah! I might not writ any of the girls' duels because: #1. Tara is out of the tournament #2. faith doesn't duel. #3. kylie and Tatsu won't duel till the finals. But I will put some of the other ppls duels, like yugi vs.....someone.heh **koff** just so you know these next chapters will have some *MAJOR* spoilers so beware.

~~~chapter 11: preparing for the finals~~~

as the early morning sun crept up over the rooftops, Tatsu awoke excitedly to see what might happen later on that day. She stretched and yawned lazily as she got out of bed and headed downstairs for breakfast.

She opened the cabinet and got a bowl out, then opened the drawer below it and took out a spoon. She set these things on the table then headed for the fridge. She took out the milk then went and got some frosted flakes out of the pantry. Taking these last items to the table she sat down, poured her cereal and milk, and dug in.

~~~~~~~

In another part of town, Tara awoke in an odd manner-rolling off her bed. She clawed at the floor and pulled herself along, dragging the sheets with her. She finally stood up at the door of her bathroom and walked in. She looked in the mirror. Her hair was a rat's nest and one eye was open and the other was half-closed. She decided to wash up before she ate breakfast, so she got out her facial wash and her brush.

~~~~~~~

While her friends were awake and getting ready, Kylie was sound asleep. Her sheets had been thrown off in the middle of the night and she looked like she had been trying to run while still lying down. Her alarm clock went off and she turned over a few times. It continued to beep so she rolled over, grabbed the alarm clock and threw it halfway across the room. It stopped beeping for a second, but then started up again, flickering every few seconds. She shot up angrily and yanked the cord out of the wall, in hopes of stopping the horrible noise. She got back in bed and pulled her covers up over her head. Just when she thought she could go back to sleep, the backup batteries in her alarm began to work. It started to beep again. She threw off her covers, grabbed the alarm clock and took out the batteries. Certain that she could go back to sleep now, she crawled back in bed, not bothering to pull the covers over her. But the world wouldn't let her sleep. A car alarm went off in the distance.

"nooooooooooo!!" she thought to herself. (tatsu: I just loooove torturing you don't I kylie?^-^)

She finally decided to get up and get ready to go. On the way to her bathroom, Kylie tripped over her alarm clock and it started beeping weakly. Just as she was about to jump on it and smash it, it beeped weakly one last time then died out. With the alarm clock gone, Kylie felt a bit better so she went to get ready. ~~~~~ Faith awoke with excitement and got out of bed. She couldn't wait to see Kylie and Tatsu duel the top duelists in battle city. She, like the other irls got out of bed and bean to get ready.

~~~~script mode~~~~

[Tatsu is ready and heading out to meet the others]

Eden: **yawn** We're off to see the finals..**walks out onto the street and heads towards Kylie's house**

Kylie: **waiting outside** hey Tatsu.

Eden: hey. Got everything? Locator cards, duel disc?

Kylie: yup.

Eden: okay good. So lets go get Tara and Faith.

Kylie: okies.

Tara: **also waiting outside** hey guys.

Kylie: hey!

Tara: we're meeting faith at battle city right?

Eden: yup.

Tara: okie dokie, lets go then.

~~~story mode~~~

As the girls headed out, kaiba, Yugi, and Mokuba were headed towards the warehouse Yugis friends were being kept in(tatsu: okay okay I know, it didn't take them all night to get there, but oh well, lets just say they stopped for the night okay? **smacks herself** ). Joey, who had also been captured had been turned into a mind slave by Malik (tatsu: her he is kylie, FINNALLY, lol, we'll see more of him later also.). Rishid [one of malik's most faithful servants] gave Joey a super-powerful deck to duel with. When yugi arrived, They were there waiting for him. They were going to force joey into a duel with Yugi. To be sure that yugi wouldn't refuse and escape, they had strapped Anzu [tea for those of you not familiar with the jap. Names] to a chain with a crate hanging over her head. If yugi refused to duel, they would drop the crate and crush Anzu. The rules of the duel were this: Yugi is not allowed to use his god card, both Yugi and Joey are handcuffed to an anchor. At their feet are boxes, they contain the key to open the handcuffs. When someone's life points drained to 0, the winner's box would open and they could unlock themselves. The deck , which was over the water, would blow up when the duel was finished. The winner would escape, the looser, Would get pulled under by the anchor and drown.

~~~~~~~~~ A/n: okies another chapter up. I think I will do one chapter a week if possible, that way it will ive me some time to research some info on the rest of battle city, these next chapters will have to be very carefully planned [unlike my other chapters notice all my mistakes? Heh.] well anyways, please R&R! thanks!
