As the two groups searched for the other, Sakura and Son-Son passed the time by making fun of Kaiba. Well actually, Sakura was just complaining about Kaiba's attitude and Son-Son just kept calling him Trenchcoat Boy. Kaiba himself was trying his best to not yell a string of profanity at the girls.

Rebecca sighed and looked at Son-Son.

"You know, maybe you should lighten up on the jokes."

"Oh come on, everyone needs to have some fun in their lives 'Becky."

"'Becky?"

Son-Son smiled and laughed.

"Sorry. It's just this weird thing I do. Whenever I make a new friend, I give them a nickname. I don't always use it but I just like making up nick names."

Rebecca smiled, Son-Son was a really nice girl and she was easy to get along with.

But Kaiba, Mokuba, and the girls weren't aware that they were being watched and it decided it wanted Mokuba as its snack.

Rebecca heard it running to Mokuba. Suddenly Rebecca shouted,

"Get out of the way now!"

"Huh?" asked Mokuba

Just as the attacker was about to get Mokuba, Rebecca grabbed Mokuba and got both of them out of the way.

The attacker was revealed. It was a scaly humanoid creature with sharp teeth and sharper claws.

"What is that thing?" shouted Sakura

"It's a Hunter. A B.O.W courtesy of Umbrella Inc., be really careful, these things are fast!" said Rebecca

The Hunter then turned its attention to Rebecca and Mokuba. Rebecca noticed and used her free hand (the one that wasn't holding Mokuba close) to pull out her gun.

"Not this time." Muttered Rebecca

She aimed her gun and shot the Hunter in the eye. It screeched an unearthly screech. Hunter growled and was going to attack. But Kaiba used his gun to shoot the Hunter, as the creature was twitching on the ground Kaiba shot it a few more times.

Whenit decided to stay dead, Rebecca and Mokuba stood up and walked to Seto.

"Thank you again." Said Rebecca

"Just for the record, I was protecting my brother not you."

Then Mokuba said something a little unexpected.

"Seto, you could at least thank her. I would've gotten killed by that thing if she hadn't saved me."

Kaiba sighed with an annoyed tone. As much as he hated to admit it, Mokuba was right.

"Thank you for saving Mokuba."

Again Kaiba had an annoyed tone.

"Your welcome. Also do you now believe what me and Jill said earlier?"

"Why should I? You and that friend of yours have obviously watched too many horror movies."

Rebecca glared at Kaiba and clenched her fists.

"I guess I should ask that second question. What are you so afraid of?"

Upon hearing that, Kaiba faced Rebecca with an evil look.

"I don't fear anything! Especially fake zombies and monsters!"

Rebecca looked in Kaiba's eyes and she figured it out.

"I see now. I can tell in your eyes. You're afraid that everyone will think you're insane. You don't understand any of this so you choose to ignore it so no one will think you're crazy."

"I told you! I'm not afraid of anything!"

"Don't lie, I know that's what you're afraid of! I should know… I had that fear once too."

It was now that Rebecca collapsed onto her knees.

"When me and my friends escaped the mansion, we tried to tell everyone about what happened. No one believed us; they kept saying that we were imaging things. No one knew it was true till it was too late."

Rebecca's tears dropped from her eyes. As Kaiba saw this sight, a part of him actually felt sorry for Rebecca. Mokuba, Son-Son, and Sakura walked to Rebecca and tried to calm her down.

But the tears kept falling. Finally Kaiba bent down and looked at Rebecca.

"Listen you should stop crying. We can't get out of here if you keep doing this. Also… what would your old teammates say if they saw you like this?"

Then Rebecca stopped crying and was starting stand up.

"They'd tell me to stop crying, and tell me that I should continue until success or failure."

Rebecca fully stood up and wiped away her tears.

"Come on, let's go. I'm sure we'll bump into everyone sooner or later." Said Rebecca

Back to Yugi and his group, they were still navigating the halls until they encountered something.

It looked like a dark warrior that wore skulls as armor.

"What's that?" asked Felicia

"It's a duel monster. Skull Knight, it's really powerful in the game. I really don't want to know if it's the same in real life." Said Yugi

As everyone wondered if the monster was real, its eyes started to glow red. Everyone noticed and started to get a little nervous. The four backed up as the Skull Knight unsheathed its sword.

"This is not good, definitely not good." Said Jill

Yugi then pulled out his dueling deck from a pouch in his belt.

He pulled out a card from his deck and used it just as the Skull Knight was about to attack. Then another monster appeared; only it was protecting everyone. The monster was Big Shield Gardna.

"Whoa! That was unreal!" said Felicia

"Another duel monster?" asked Morrigan

Yugi nodded and then pulled out another card. The monster that appeared this time was a young armor-clad woman with a flaming shield. The monster was Flame Champion.

Flame Champion jumped over Big Shield Gardna and struck the Skull Knight. The evil monster disappeared and after it was gone, the other two monsters left as well. The girls were amazed and wondered how Yugi did that, but they decided not to ask.

Soon the four kept walking till they saw what they thought was an exit. When they entered, it seemed they walked into an Egyptian Tomb.

"Geez, this place is boring." Muttered Morrigan

Morrigan then leaned against the wall and she went through the wall.

"Morrigan!" everyone shouted.

"I'm okay. Ow. A little bit."

Everyone turned around and saw Morrigan on the ground.

"Hey wait a minute. Morrigan weren't you on the other side?" asked Jill

"Weren't you?" asked Morrigan

Yugi walked to the wall and placed his hand on it. Just like Morrigan, Yugi's hand went through the wall. But it appeared going through the other wall.

"What the!" Shouted Morrigan

Yugi faced the girls with a serious expression.

"I think we're in the Shadow Realm."

Instantly the girls remembered what Yugi said about the Shadow Realm back when they first met him. Concern started to grow in the girl's hearts.

Yugi noticed this and tried to give the girls hope.

"Don't worry. We'll all be okay and I'm sure the others are fine as well."

Meanwhile Wesker, Anubus, and Malik were plotting.

Well actually Wesker and Anubus were arguing about which of their plans were the best. Malik glared at the two and muttered Egyptian curses under his breath.

"Will you two stop bickering? I am trying to concentrate. With my plan, they will be in their worst nightmares."

Malik decided to get the girls first, if he could get rid of the girls, then Yugi's spirit would be broken. He couldn't get all the girls at once, so to save his energy, his victims were going to be Jill, Morrigan, Felicia, and Rebecca.

The Millennium Rod glowed and Malik cackled.

Meanwhile Jill, Felicia, and Morrigan felt a pain in their heads.

"Girls are you alright?" asked Yugi

Then the girls held their heads in pain and just started to scream bloody murder. They collapsed and started to twitch on the ground.

"Morrigan! Felicia! Jill!"

But Yugi's shouting fell on deaf ears. The girls couldn't hear him because they were trapped in their own nightmares.

Morrigan walked around in a foggy black area. She didn't know where anyone was; actually she didn't even know where SHE was.

"Morrigan!"

She looked forward and saw Yugi smiling and running towards her.

"Yugi!"

But before Yugi could reach Morrigan, something impaled him. Behind Yugi was Malik, the evil being laughed as he kept twisting the blade of the Millennium Rod.

"No Yugi!"

Morrigan charged at Malik but he shot a ball of shadow magic at her. It hit her with full blast. As Morrigan was getting up, she saw blood on her body.

'Blood? I don't get it. Was that attack really that powerful? Or am I weak?'

Morrigan's nightmare was bad but Felicia's nightmare was worse.

As Felicia opened her eyes, she saw iron bars and she saw people with cameras.

"Huh? What?"

"Oh my goodness it talks!" shouted a man

"What a freak of nature!" shouted a woman

'What are those people talking about?'

When Felicia fully opened her eyes, she saw that she was in a cage and everyone was talking about her.

"Stop it leave me alone! I'm not a freak of nature!"

The crowd gasped and walked away from her cage.

"Look at how that thing attacked us!" shouted someone

"What? I wasn't trying to attack you!"

Then Felicia saw her friends in the back of the crowd.

"Guys! Help me please!"

But they said nothing and walked away.

"Guys no please. Don't leave me!"

As the nightmare continued, Felicia started to twitch more violently. Then Jill was starting sweat and her breathing became heavy.

Jill ran as far she could. Soon Jill tripped over something.

"Ow, what was that?"

Jill looked and saw that she tripped over the mangled body of her old teammate, Joseph Frost.

"Joseph!"

Jill got up and tried to run away from Joseph's body but soon she encountered bodies of the S.T.A.R.S Bravo Team members and innocent people who must've been the citizens of Raccoon City. Every person who was killed because of Umbrella was here.

Jill screamed and tried to escape but soon she found the most horrible sight, the bodies of Son-Son, Sakura, Morrigan, Felicia, D, Britt, Rebecca, Roll, and Yugi.

"No! Please don't let this be real!"

Jill first walked to Roll's body, there was no blood but there were huge claw marks all over.

"Roll. You didn't deserve this."

"J-Jill?"

Jill turned around and saw that Yugi was taking his last breath. She crawled to him and held him close to her.

"Yugi! Please no! Don't die!"

"I-I'm g-glad that…I got t-to know you a-and the others."

With that Yugi tilted his head and died in Jill's arms.

"No! Yugi! Please wake up! You can't die, you can't!"

Then Jill felt something pressed against her head.

"Well, well what do we have here?" Jill heard Wesker saying in a taunting tone

Jill said nothing and looked at Yugi. She then calmly said…

"Go ahead and kill me."

"What? This is quite unlike you."

"I don't care anymore. Everyone that I know always dies. If I die, less people will suffer and…I can see Yugi at least one more time."

In the real world, the girls were dying. Yugi was trying his best to wake up the girls but nothing was working. But he wouldn't give up hope; he refused to let his friends die.

Meanwhile, the effect of Malik's spell was affecting Rebecca.

Rebecca suddenly screamed and fell to the floor.

"'Becky!" shouted Son-Son

The young monkey girl rushed to Rebecca's side.

"'Becky this is not funny! This isn't a good time for a nap!" shouted Son-Son

"Son-Son, I don't think she's taking a nap. I sense something evil. One of those creeps must've did something to her." Said Sakura

As Kaiba watched the girls worry over Rebecca, he started to walk away.

"Come on Mokuba. We need to get out of here."

Instead of following his brother, Mokuba stood his ground.

"Mokuba? What are you waiting for?"

Mokuba gave a sad look and looked at Rebecca.

"I don't want her to die."

Sakura noticed what was going on and walked to Kaiba.

"You know, I'm starting to think that your little brother has more sense then you do."

"Listen little girl, I don't care what happens to you or your stupid friends. I just want me and my little brother to get out of here alive."

"Fine! Leave! Don't let me stop you! But before you leave, tell me this. What would you rather have? The satisfaction of saving someone who helped you or a heavy conscience caused by the fact that a person kind enough to help you died because you were being selfish!"

As Kaiba pondered, Yugi was about to make one last attempt to save the girls.

Yugi held Morrigan's wrist and started to try to talk to her.

"Morrigan can you hear me? It's me Yugi."

Morrigan was a bloody mess, she was panting and she was on her knees.

'I can't beat him. Yugi I'm sorry.'

"Morrigan!"

"Yu-Yugi? You're alive?"

"Yes Morrigan I'm okay!"

Yugi sighed with relief when Morrigan responded to him. But he got worried again when Morrigan grunted in pain.

"Morrigan! What's wrong?"

"I-I can't beat him. I can't beat Artichoke Head. I'm too weak."

"That doesn't sound anything like the Morrigan I know. The Morrigan I know isn't afraid of anything, she's willing to take challenges head-on, and she's extremely determined."

Morrigan knew that Yugi was right, this was nothing like her! Morrigan boldly stood up and the cuts, bruises, and blood disappeared. Malik was shocked.

"Okay Artichoke Head, say buh-bye!"

Then a bunch of bats came and formed into 3 laser cannons. They fired at Malik and he was gone.

Morrigan's pain was gone now, she fluttered her eyes open to see Yugi and I'll give you three guess as to what she did next.

She got up and hugged Yugi again.

"Oh Yugi thank you! You're such a Knight in Shining Armor!"

Morrigan then noticed Felicia and Jill. She let go of Yugi and cleared her throat.

"Sorry. Now let's help the others."

Morrigan went to Felicia and Yugi went to Jill.

"Please don't leave me guys." Muttered Felicia

"You were always such a drama queen Felicia." Said Morrigan

"Morrigan? Is that you?"

"Yeah it's me. Now what's wrong?"

"I'm all alone."

"Oh brother. Listen Felicia, no matter what happens, me, Yugi, Jill...actually everyone will always be with you. Whether it's by your side or in your heart."

Felicia placed her paw on her heart and smiled. As this happened, the people and the cage disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Thanks."

Felicia yawned, sat up, and rubbed her eyes.

"I had such a bad dream. But you got rid of it. Thanks Morrigan."

Felicia gave a friendly hug to Morrigan.

"Hey! Hey! No hugging! I don't want people to assume things."

Felicia broke the hug and both she and Morrigan looked at Yugi and Jill with sympathetic looks.

"I hope Yugi can save Jill." Said Felicia

Jill's tears fell on Yugi's lifeless body as she waited for Wesker to kill her.

"This is just too perfect. I think I'll wait and savor the moment."

"Jill!"

When Jill heard Yugi's voice, she gasped.

'Yugi? How could it be? You died.'

"No I'm fine. But Jill you shouldn't let this nightmare take over!"

'But I…just…'

"Jill. Do you remember what I said on the day we met when I helped you?"

"You said that I was capable of great things, I was just letting my past hold me back." Jill muttered

It was then that Jill knew what to do. She gently placed Yugi's body on the ground, stood up, and faced Wesker.

"I'm not afraid of you anymore Wesker."

Quickly Jill grabbed Wesker's gun and aimed it at him.

"I can't forget the past, I'll always have those horrible memories in my heart. But with my friends I'll never let the past kill me! Now Wesker, be sure to say hello to all the people you and Umbrella murdered!"

Jill shot the gun and with that, she woke up.

When Jill opened her eyes, she saw Yugi and smiled.

"Thank you."

Back to the others, Rebecca's condition was growing worse. But the good news was that Kaiba decided to help her.

"Why are you helping?" asked Son-Son

"Can't really explain myself." Muttered Kaiba

Son-Sonshrugged her shoulders and then looked at Rebecca.

"We're going to try to talk to her. Got it?"

Kaiba nodded.

Rebecca was running away from 3 men in labcoats.

"Don't let her escape! She knows everything!"

The men had the Umbrella Logo on their coats so it was obvious why they wanted Rebecca.

Rebecca then bumped into another man.

"Gotcha!"

The man grabbed her and pulled out a syringe with a strange colored liquid from his pocket.

"You'll make a fine specimen."

The needle came closer and closer to Rebecca's skin until the man was shot. He dropped the syringe, and collapsed.

Rebecca looked behind and saw Kaiba.

"Huh?"

The other three men were about to pull out their guns but a long red staff hit all three of them.

"Don't you even dare hurt her!" said Son-Son

"Son-Son!" shouted Rebecca

Son-Son grinned and walked to Rebecca.

"Hey we'd never let anyone hurt you. Right Trenchcoat boy? Riiiiight?"

Son-Son pouted then she hit Seto on the head with her staff.

"Ow."

"Right?"

"Er… right."

Rebecca giggled at what happened and soon she was able to wake up.

When Rebecca opened her eyes, she smiled.

"I don't know how I can thank you."

"Well I think Seto would like it if you healed the bump on his head." Said Mokuba with a just kidding tone

Me: Whoa! This chapter is longer then the Tournament Chapter! Anyway, in case some of you are wondering about the nightmares. Here's an explanation, Morrigan was afraid of being weak and not being able to protect Yugi. Felicia was afraid of being called a freak of nature and that her friends abandon her. Jill was afraidthat all the people she knew got murdered, and Rebecca was afraid of getting captured by Umbrella and becoming a test subject for their sick and twisted experiments.

Britt: So what's gonna happen next? Well if we told you that what would be the point of the next chapter? Also if you didn't understand what Rebecca meant by "Not again" when the Hunter came, there's a moment in RE 1 when you play as Chris. You'll find Rebecca cornered by a Hunter and you have the option of saving her or leaving the room and allowing the Hunter to kill her.

Me: Anyway R/R and I'll see ya soon.
