"Yuri, Yuri wake up, Yuri wake up."

Yuri woke up to Tea shaking him, Yuri looked and saw the look of fear in her eyes, which was not something he was used to seeing. Yuri sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He was trying to fully wake himself to understand what Tea was saying, after a minute he could understand her.

"So that's why we must go now," said Tea.

"Wait, I didn't fully understand you, tell me again."

"The hospital is on fire, Shrin has attacked us before my expectations, Joey and Tristan are trying to take care of the fire, while Bakura and Mai are dealing with Shrin's duelists, and we got to get out of here now to protect the Millennium Puzzle."

"What? But that's impossible, he shouldn't know where we are," said Yuri quickly getting out of bed to find his clothes and shoes.

"Yeah it is, don't you remember Yuri, he came here and faced three duelists at once, and he defeated all three at once with Obelisk the Tormentor."

"But that wasn't him," said Yuri as he fully got into his pants, shirt and shoes.

"What do you mean it wasn't him?"

"I uh…."

"Yuri, you know something, you must tell me."

"I can't….for my reasons," said Yuri as he put on his duel disk.

"Yuri if you know something you must tell me now, that way I can know what to do, I mean everything is crazy right now with the hospital being on fire, Mai and Bakura stretching their necks out for us to escape and now you not tell me something that is important."

"Wait, you said the hospital is on fire?"

"Yeah, it's blazing, that was the first thing they attacked."

"Oh no, Terra is in the hospital, remember? I got to go save her," said Yuri as he ran out the door.

"Yuri, you can't, let Tristan and Joey, take care of it," said Tea running after him.

"No way, those two couldn't take care of Yugi, how could I let them take care of Terra, I have to save her, its got to be me."

Yuri ran out of the dorms he ran to the hospital which was about a quarter mile from the dorms. He ran with all his might and Tea was right behind him. Yuri never had a friend that was his age, this was his first and only friend that he had, that he liked, that he wanted to protect. Yuri wasn't about to let anything happen to Terra.

Yuri reached the burning hospital; there were a bunch of people with hoses trying to put the fire out with their underground water supply that they got from the water pipes of the city. Yuri ran to Joey and Tristan, both of them being the closest to the fire trying to spray it down.

"Joey, Tristan, where is Terra?" asked Yuri as he began to catch his breath.

"Don't know man, I haven't seen her since this whole thing started, but I'm not about ready to send in any men to find survivors, you will just have to go with Tea and hope she is alright," said Joey.

"Yuri, please come with me, we have very little time," said Tea.

"Not until Terra is safe," said Yuri as he ran towards the blazing building.

"Yuri, come back here," said Tea.

"Yuri," said both Joey and Tristan

Yuri ran in, it was a blazing inferno, the heat was unbearable, but he had to take it, he had to save Terra. Yuri looked around putting his mouth and nose under his shirt so he wouldn't breathe in the smoke too bad. The smoke was thick which made it hard for Yuri to see, he looked around to see that the elevator doors were burning, which told him the only way he could go to the rooms on the third floor was to take the stairs.

Yuri rushed towards the stars trying to put his head low so he could breathe better, he looked seeing that the wooden steps were burning and would probably give under his weight, however he could also see some steps that looked strong enough to take his weight. Yuri putting his hand on parts of the wall where there were no flames so he could keep his balance, progressed to move up the stairs by hoping from step to step. He moved fast as he could, it was getting harder for him to breathe with each passing second since he was going up where the smoke was.

Yuri made it to the second floor and fell down to the floor so he could breathe, standing wasn't possible because of the smoke, but he couldn't give up, he had to progress. Yuri moved again to the second flight of stairs, he jumped to each step trying to move as swift as he could, until he hit a step that couldn't support his weight, causing Yuri to fall and badly cut his left leg.

"Damn it," said Yuri as he pulled his leg out.

Yuri couldn't move; he started to see that his leg was badly injured and that it was gushing out quarts of his blood. Yuri's vision started to get blurry, but Yuri shook his head to try to regain his sight back. He may have been hurt but he wasn't going to stop not until Terra was safe. Yuri progressed further until he reached the third floor.

Walking was now impossible for Yuri; he couldn't feel his left leg anymore. Yuri began to hobble until he fell down, he couldn't move for a moment, he finally started to crawl using all his strength. He made his way down until he reached Terra's room which was the last room on the right of the hall.

Yuri used all his strength to push the door open since there was fallen rubble in front of it. After pushing it three times with all his might he got the door open enough to where he could squeeze his body through. Yuri then looked at Terra who was on the floor covered by rubble which fell on top of her.

"Terra….are you alright?" said Yuri seeing that she was conscious but coughing from the smoke.

"I'm ok, I'm just stuck, and I can't move it."

Yuri crawled fully into the room and began to move part of the rubble away. There was a support beam for the roof on her that was the problem with moving, it weight a ton to Yuri in his weaken state. Yuri began to use his arms to move it, but it wouldn't work, he tried to lift it with his arms but it wouldn't work, finally Yuri got an idea that would work, but would cause him much pain in his leg.

Yuri positioned his shoulder under the beam and put his right up so it was where he was kneeling on his left leg. Yuri then started to moan in pain for a moment, but quickly held it in so that Terra wouldn't hear; he stood up on his right leg and used his left wounded leg to support himself, which his leg was almost completely numb and dead. Yuri's idea worked as he threw off the beam and Terra was now free.

"Thanks Yuri," said Terra as kneeled down beside him.

"Not…uh…a…problem," said Yuri as he held his leg.

"Yuri…you leg," exclaimed Terra as she saw how badly injured he was.

"I'm fine….we can worry about it, when we get out of here."

"This place is blazing, we can't get out of here by means of the elevator, and we could really injure ourselves if we use the stairs, you hurt yourself badly as it is."

Yuri's vision began to get blurry, and then it started to get dark. Yuri shook his head trying not to slip away into unconsciousness; he couldn't go yet, not until Terra was safe. Yuri tried to stand but couldn't, his leg gave away, he couldn't use it anymore.

"Yuri, let me help you, we got to work together to get out of here, and the question is how?"

Yuri looked around the room, the room wasn't that much of an inferno like it was in the hall, but the floor was starting to get very hot which told him that the flames were eating through the floor. Yuri then looked at the window. The window wasn't covered by flames and it was made of plastic.

"The window….if we can some how knock it open, we could call for help," said Yuri as he started to cough.

"But what can we use?"

"Try to find something, your in better condition to walk that I can right now, find something and I will wait here for you."

"Ok, I will be back in five minutes, you better not go to sleep on me," said Terra with a worried look.

"I will do my best," said Yuri with a smile.

Terra left the room. Yuri tried to fight off sleep, his eyes would get heavier and heavier by the minute, and his vision would get really blurry and dark. It was taking all of Yuri's strength just to stay awake. Five minutes have passed and Terra didn't show up yet, Yuri couldn't hold out for much longer, his will to save her had passed when she started to save him, finally Yuri couldn't take anymore and his eyes closed.

"No you don't," said Terra as she slapped Yuri to bring some senses to him.

Yuri opened his eyes, he didn't fall asleep but he was about to, with Terra hitting him it brought some of his senses to stay awake back. He looked at her and saw her smile when she saw his eyes. He stared at her in a daze for a moment, he could hardly think and he could hardly breathe.

"Will this do?" said Terra showing him a fire axe

"Yeah I think it will, use it on the window."

Terra began hacking the window causing only little scratches into the thick plastic, she hacked over and over again, with all of her strength after each swing. Finally she fell down out of exhaustion. She could swing anymore, the smoke was getting to her, and she couldn't breathe.

"I can't go on anymore," said Terra trying to breathe.

Yuri looked at his Millennium Puzzle and thought for a couple of moments, and then he remembered all those stories the Pharaoh told him about with those shadow games that he had. Yuri thought about what Pegasus telling him that the millennium items can release the power of the shadow realm. Did that mean he could do it too?

"I got an idea," said Yuri "But I don't know if it will work."

"Just do what you need to do to get us out of here."

Yuri drew the top card from his deck, he drew the Skilled Dark Magician, maybe it had the power to break the window, it was his only option and his only hope, Yuri concentrated upon his Millennium Puzzle. When doing this the Millennium Puzzle started to glow. Yuri waited for the right moment, the moment that would tell him to summon his monster.

"Now," shouted Yuri "I summon the Skilled Dark Magician"

Skilled Dark Magician appeared as Yuri held up his card. Terra looked at the monster in shock, since Yuri didn't turn only his duel disk to produce the holographic image. The monster then stood in the middle of the room in front of the door.

"Skilled Dark Magician, attack the window," said Yuri weakly.

Skilled Dark Magician raised its staff and shot a black energy at the window which caused the window to fly off and fall to the ground below. This caused the people down below to start to maintain a distance from the building, for fear it might blow up. Skilled Dark Magician then disappeared seeing that its purpose was completed.

"What did you do?" asked Terra in shock.

"Forget that, call for help," said Yuri.

Tea looked out the window to see a crowd of the people distancing themselves from the building; she looked around to see if there was anyone closer than the crowed that was getting further away by the second. She saw three people in front of the building, two in which were using fire hoses to try to put the fire out.

'I know those three, those are Yuri's friends, Tristan, Joey and Tea' thought Terra.

"How does it look" asked Yuri

"Your friends are right in front of the building, I think I can get their attention."

"Then do it, its getting harder to stay awake."

"Hey, you down there," shouted Terra, "Hey, up here, look up here."

With all of the yelling Terra did, she got Tea's attention. Tea looked up and saw Terra waving her arms like mad. Tea then kicked Joey in the butt and pointed up at Terra. Tristan and Joey stopped their hoses for a moment to see what was going on.

"Guys, up there its Terra," said Tea.

"Terra, do you know where Yuri is?" asked Joey.

"Yeah, he's in here with me, he's hurt pretty bad we need help."

"There is no way we can send in a team with the fire as it is now," said Tristan.

"What are you saying are you just going to leave them there?" said Tea.

"No, I got an idea, Tea run back to the dorms and grab those really big queen size blankets, I'm going to have them jump down to us and we are going to catch them in that," said Joey

"Are you insane? That won't work," said Tea in an outburst.

"It's the only option we got, and it will work, we will catch them," said Joey.

Terra started to run back to the dorms, Joey looked up at Terra knowing that she would not like this idea. But there wasn't any other choice, by what Terra said, Yuri was in bad shape, and he needed help immediately, sending a team up there would take too long and would be too difficult.

"Terra, Tea went to the dorms, she will be back with some blankets. We are going to stretch those blankets out and have you guys jump down, we will catch you and take care of you," shouted Joey so she could hear.

"Your kidding, right?" said Terra.

"Sorry Terra, but this is no joke, I'm going to need you and Yuri to do this."

"They want us to jump down," said Terra as she bent down by Yuri.

"It's our only choice, we have to do it, I can't stay awake much longer," mumbled Yuri.

"Do you think we will make it Yuri?"

"If we don't…I'm glad that you were my friend."

'That's right, we are friends. But for some reason…I hope we can be something more,' thought Terra as she smiled at Yuri.

"We will always be friends, right?" asked Yuri.

"Yeah, we will. No matter what happens we will be friends,"

Terra was scared, she was afraid that she would not make it, she was afraid that Yuri would not make it. Even though Yuri's vision was getting fussy, he could feel that she was scared. Terra slowly put her arms around Yuri. Yuri was a little surprised at this, why would she be hugging him like this?

"Terra, what are you doing?"

"I'm frightened; I just need some one to hold on to. Yuri you're the only friend that I have had in a long time, I just want to say thank you for everything, for meeting me, for letting me watch your duel, for coming for me in my greatest need. Thank you Yuri."

"Don't talk like this is the end, we will make it…I promise, and if there is one thing I have learned from Joey, its to always keep your promises, and I promise that you and I will make it out of here alive."

The building blazed, the floor was getting even hotter at it started to feel weaker; the floor would collapse at any moment. Tea ran back with blankets in her hand, she grabbed as many as she could. They called up when they were ready and had the blankets in place to catch them. Terra looked at Yuri, and Yuri looked back at her.

"This is it, they are ready for us," said Terra.

"You go first; I want to make sure your safe first."

"No way, not in your condition, you can't even stand let alone climb up to position yourself for a jump."

"Do you think that they can take both of us?'

"I don't know, but were going together or not at all."

"Here we go, are you ready?"

"I'm ready as I will ever be."

Terra helped Yuri up, she then position herself on the window holding part of the wall to keep her balance. She then helped Yuri on the window as well. With Yuri's dead leg, it would look like the jump will go too successful, but they had to try anyway. Terra held Yuri and she counted to three in her head. When she hit three, both Yuri and Terra jumped.
