"I got a plan follow me," said Duke running towards the North.

Duke ran leading the gang to the shopping mall he once owned, now in ruins. Duke ran to the east side of the ruins, he started to move some of the wreckage; he smiled after coming across what looked like to be a door. Duke taking a metal bar that was near him broke the lock that was on the door and he opened the doors which lead down to some stairs.

"What's all this about duke?" asked Joey as he followed Duke down the stairs

"This is part of my mall; I used it as a place mainly for security reasons. However it is held underground so that it won't disturb the people who are shopping," explained Duke as they finished descending the stairs and walked down a long hallway.

"Then how come there was a security guard walking around whenever I shopped her duke?" asked Tea as they finished the hallway and entered an operational elevator that started to take them down.

"He was mainly used as the gofer, he would just walk around waiting for my team down here to report any trouble and he would take care of it. But I shut down my mall today because I wanted to give everyone a day off since I was planning to see my love today."

"And who's is your love Duke, it better not be who I'm thinking of," said Tristan.

"If you're thinking of Serenity then yes, that's who I'm thinking of," replied Duke

"Duke, I'm warning you, you stay away from my girl," said Tristan

"Look, as long as I'm around, she is not either of your girl, got it," threaten Joey.

"Guys this is not the time. Duke are you sure we will be safe here?" asked Tea

"Well it should be the safest place, however, for all I know Domino City was the only thing that was attacked so far. So I plan to contact Pegasus, he might be of help."

The elevator stopped leading them to a short hallway that had a door at the end of it. Duke pressed a couple of buttons on a door making the door unlock and open, they all walk into the main security office. This place had 10 screens on a wall, all showing static because of the fact that the cameras were all destroyed by Shrin's onslaught. The security room however was untouched; it didn't receive any type of damage making the room fully operational.

Duke moved to the far side of the room and went to a computer. Duke pressing a couple of buttons on the keyboard made the static on the screens go away and made it show what was on the computer on the T.V. screens. Duke then made a call to Pegasus using the computer. After a couple of rings Pegasus answered making his face appear on the 10 T.V. screens and on the computer.

"Dukey boy, it's been a long time wouldn't you agree?" said Pegasus when answering to the call on his computer screen.

"Pegasus, have you heard of any of the news of what happened at Domino City today?"

"Hmm, no I haven't but I have noticed that the Domino City news report channel won't come in, on my satellite television, and my favorite cartoon show is coming on. Do you think I have to call up my satellite company and complain?"

"This is no time to be thinking about cartoons Pegasus," replied Tea pushing Duke out of the way.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't little Yugi's girlfriend. Pardon my manners but I have forgotten your name.

"For your information its Tea, and we are in big trouble here, we need your help."

"Now why would you need…?"

Pegasus was shocked when he saw that the Millennium Puzzle was around Tea's neck, Pegasus couldn't move, he was in utter shock. After a few moments Pegasus swallowed hard on his favorite juice that was sitting next to him and he was able to think again. After taking a few breaths Pegasus began to put his thoughts into words.

"What's the Millennium Puzzle doing around your neck? That Millennium Item belongs to Yugi boy and I know for a fact he would never let go of it, let alone let it out of his sight, and I don't see him, where is he?"

Tea told Pegasus what happened, how a man named Shrin who came out of nowhere stole the millennium rod from Yugi, then banished Seto Kaiba to the shadow realm, and finally how Yugi was sent to the shadow realm and how they ran to find help. Pegasus was in shock to hear this. To think Yugi was defeated by someone who knew about the millennium items and how to use them.

"Hmm, interesting…to think Yugi got his butt kicked, you don't hear that everyday," said Pegasus.

"Hey, watch your mouth you grey haired one eye freak," said Joey.

"Oh, I'm sorry; did I say that out loud?"

"Yeah you did, and when I get my hands on you Pegasus…"

"Hey Joey cool down," said Tristan holding Joey back from the monitor.

"Pegasus, you can see our situation now, will you help us?" pleaded Tea.

"Well, I normally wouldn't get involved, however, this Shrin is destroying the city of Domino with the cards that I created, and personally, it's bad for business. I will help you, what do you want me to do?"

"Well, I guess the best place to set up a base would be your island, however we can't just let people out here die while we hide away. We need to set up a base here on the main land, but we don't have anywhere to start building nor do we have any resources," said Tea.

"Hmm, where are you, right now?" asked Pegasus.

"We are at my underground security office," said Duke

"Underground? Hmm, well I guess we can expand that into a base of operations, I can use my money to buy resources that we would need to expand that tiny office of yours Dukey boy."

"Wait a second here. Your sounding like were making a base for some type of war," said Joey.

"That's because we are in a war now, and we are the top head in command," said Tea.

"Whoa, I never would of thought, ok Tea, u just give us the order and Tristan and I will take care of anything you will need," said Joey with confidence

"Thank you my friends…and thank you Pegasus," said Tea.

"No problem, I will have some of my men come over to where your at, hopefully at this time Shrin will be done with his rage of destruction and start building his own type of base, I will meet you within 6 hours and we will make that office of yours into a place where people will find comfort, until then I do suggest you rally up as many duelists as you can, because I have a feeling that we are going to need them."

The camera screen then turned black signifying that Pegasus was doing his part, Tea looked over at her friends to think of what to do, she remembered advice that Yugi gave her. The advice was to think strategically, but that was about duel monsters and this was real life…but Tea then thought that real life is no different, she already thought up a plan.
