"Joey, I can't believe this, of all times you had to be right, you had to pick this one," Tea scolded.
"Hey man, I'll never doubt you again," Tristan said, looking like he was ready to faint, or throw up. That's when they heard the laughter of two women come from behind Kaiba. As the laughter grew louder, two figures stepped out of the shadows, taking a place at either of Kaiba's sides. This caused all of the hunters to nearly break out in tears.
"No," Joey whispered, sobbing, his head down, his blonde hair covering his eyes. "NO! Kaiba how could you, you bastard!" He screamed, as he looked in horror at the faces of his sister Serenity, and his beloved Mai. They had been turned, no doubt by Kaiba's own fangs.
"Hahahaha, Wheeler, don't be so surprised, or upset, you'll be joining them soon enough, that's why I lured you all here after all, so that you can become part of my army. Yes Wheeler, even you will be joining me. Not by my choice, however, but at the persistence of your sister here. Quite a beauty, isn't she." Then he leaned his face up, and she kissed him. This made Joey even madder. He tightened his grip on his dagger, ready to slash Kaiba's throat. That's when Yami stepped in front of him, preventing him from attacking.
"No Joey, that's exactly what he wants you to do. Don't give in. Stay calm, we'll find away to save them."
"Save us," Mai laughed. "We wanted this. Kaiba has given me all of the power I ever wanted. I'm happy now."
"As am I big brother. Before I was changed, I was a scared little girl, always standing on the sidelines, hoping you would be ok. Now I don't have to worry, I'm stronger then you could ever be." It broke Joey's heart to hear his loved ones say this. He hung his head as he begun to cry. "Mai, you were powerful as you were. You're and excellent duellist, and one of the strongest, bravest people I know. And sis, you were never week. You were always the brave one. And you have heart. You were so kind and caring, loving and loyal. I can't believe you let him change you two." He was letting his tears flow freely now.
"Enough of this. Girls, go ahead and do your thing," Kaiba said, obviously bored.
"As you wish master," Mai and Serenity said in unison, then they attacked. Mai launched herself at Joey's throat, wail Serenity went after Tea. Tea held up her sword, blocking her attack, wile Joey struggled to keep Mai's fangs away from his throat. The others split up, Yugi helping Tea, and Tristan helping Joey. Yami meanwhile went after Kaiba.
