MP: So I'll be gone for a week after today, I hope this chapter isn't too disappointing. AS for the beating up of Malik, well they are all tired so they stopped for now. So have a nice week end and I'll see you on the 18th for my next chapter.

Chapter 5

"So are we dere yet?" "Not yet Joey!" yelled Sakura guiding them to the spot where the finalist were to go. Kaiba and his brother had left via copter after the incident with the pier. Alex was still glaring at Sakura and Haru for laughing at her apologizing for her bad attitude. With such a trait, why would any one try to apologize for genetics? She was getting softer though. That much was certain. Her eyes losing the icy sheen to them that were colder than her father's replaced by a happy dancing light. Her scowl was replaced by a small smile and she stopped calling everyone but Haru a dork and or geek.

"Are we there yet?" asked Haru. "Yes were a here now." Said Sakura. Yugi and Anzu could see that out of the future group the responsible ones were Alex and Sakura. The Blimp was waiting. But a scream was heard (A/N Sorry to screw this up but I never saw the episode where 'Namu' was introduced. So I'll have to improvise.) Serenity was being carried away by a rare hunter they were soon stopped by an un seen hand, which was revealed after wards. He had blond hair that hang in spiky locks, similarly to Sakura's hair, and he had dark blue eyes that seemed to invite you in and then destroy you.

"Hi I'm Namu." He said. "Yugi." Said Yugi helping Serenity up. "Joey and thanks for saving my sister dude." "Anzu." "Tristan." "Duke." "Mai." "Temna." Said Sakura. "Jou." Said Haru. "Serenity." Said Serenity and he nodded. "So the holder of the millennium puzzle made I to the semi fianls, this will be fun." Said Evil Bakura. He saw Teman and with a smooth motion had her hand in his grasp and said, "And to you beautiful Princess. I'd never have thought you'd be around again. Such grace you had and I guess still have. Why hang around with them." He said. Haru was glowering, 'How dare that smooth talking Thief touch her!' he thought.

Extracting her hand from his grip she simply said, "Charming to the last Tomb Robber but the one who is not seen a spirit we both should be familiar of. So I chose to travel with them." He nodded and left. "You were a Princess and you never told us." Said Tristan. "Not really. I was one 5000 years ago. The only heir to the Dynasty of the Pharaoh. I never got to take that throne. My life ended early then." She said. "SO you're reincarnated?" said Duke. "Yes. My memories from then are getting clearer." She said.

"Well we should board now." Said Alex. The Finalists had their names listed on there. 1 was Kaiba, 2 was Alex, 3 was Yugi, 4 was Joey, 5 was Mai, 6 was Odieon(Marik to every one there), 7 was Bakura, 8 was Isis, 9 was Sakura, 10 Haru, 11 was Namu, 12- 16 were a bunch of rare hunters. (A/N I altered this just so I could get Haru, Alex, and Sakura in. It'll be severely altered since I'm afraid, I didn't get to see Battle city as a whole. Other things will be altered too) They had to start on the ground to limit their numbers to 8. Haru and Alex, sadly to say, were knocked out but Bakura and Odieon through under handed dueling. So no the finalist lined up like this. 1, Kaiba, 2 Yugi, 3, Sakura, 4, Bakura, 5, Mai, 6, Joey, 7, Odieon , and 8 Isis. Haru and Alex boarded any way. They knew that they'd have a chance to prove their skills.

"Matches will be chosen by this machine. So match one will be, duelist 3 Vs. Duelist 8." Said the kaiba corp. goon. Isis looked upon Sakura and shuddered. 'She participated knowing she could change the possible future yet she is still planning on putting every thing right.' She thought confused. The duel was close was everyone there saw that Sakura was holding back. Sakura barely won. 'Dang that girl has guts. She took on that duelist with her hands tied behind her back.' Thought. Kaiba to him self. Odieon faced Bakura next but when he played his phoney baloney god card it nearly made the dirigible crash. Marik subdued it and took Odieon's place. A very bad thing for Bakura. He lost but his other half survived, barely.

Yugi, much to his own displeasure had to face Joey. HE won but he barely beat him. Kaiba thudded Mai into the ground with out even flinching. Later Joey was walking around and stood in a random spot and saw Sakura was sitting alone when Joey looked over and then it hit him like a sack of bricks how much she resembled Yugi. Her eyes were almost his but they were blue violet, Her hair was a dead give away, it was 3 colored, her stature being so small was another factor how ever, he could guess who her mother is by filling in gaps with things that he saw. She hands were long and dainty like Anzu's, according to Yugi she danced very well. She was extremely loyal to friends and other things were like her too.

"Hey Temna, you go against Kaiba da next round." He said. "Yes I guess I do, but the finals won't be here. They'll be at that stupid Duel tower." She said absent mindedly. "Duel Tower?" "Sorry, just forgot that this wasn't my time again. You really haven't changed that much." She said. "Still Namu being Marik, coulda have warned us dat was coming." He said. "Yeah but I've gone and ruined history. You should be going there not me. I should have atried to have you go against Me. I'd have lost just to save the future." She said. "Dat's no biggy. No one ever remembers the people in the top 4 just the winner and who he won against." "They'll mistake me for you and say you were there any way." She said. "Yeah but Temna or should I say Sa-" "Never use my real name near him. If he knew it he could blab who I was to the who dirigible. So ixnay on the amenay." She said. "Ok." He said.

"He Tem!" yelled Haru. He walked over and smiled. "So ya hitting on my girl friend old man?" he asked. "No, she's hitting on me calling me more handsome than you are." he said seeing the joke and playing along. "Yes I prefer men you are mor than double my age in normal years. I never told you, sorry Har." She said. They laughed a bit. "Ya are going to face Marik next. Try not to do anything stupid like the first round. Cause technically ya don't exist." He said "I know, I'll just be a dork and pretend to not know that language I used to save my own butt more than once as well as yours. Oh and a language I spot in the past my whole life then." She said.

"Will everything be alright where you are from?" asked Joey. "Don't worry, I'll make the footage who it is supposed to be and once we return you'll remember nothing of this. You'll recall it as it should be." She said. Oh no, Mai is challenging Marik!" she said They followed her lead and Mai was on the tablet things by the time they struggled through the dirigible. "NO!" The wing dragon was still in orb form so Sakura did some thing stupid. She completed the ritual before Malik by yelling 'Winged Dragon of Ra! A split second before he did, but no one but Joey and Haru knew this. "Obey me!" he yelled to it and it did not respond. 'That extra voice. Who did the spell before me, no one else here could possibly read Egyptian but, damn that Princess to the under world.' He thought. His softer half would have been merciful but he was gone.

"So, your majesty you see fit to steal me of my weapon." He said and Sakura said, "Sorry but I can't let you use a god in such a trivial matter." She said. She didn't care. "Fine I'll just re summon it." He snarled and repeated the chant before Sakura could react. Then he had Ra ready to attack. Joey ran up there trying to save Mai but only wound up getting some of the blast because both Mutuos blocked it. Sakura collapsed first then Yugi then Joey then Malik locked Mai's mind in the shadow realm. He saw Sakura and wondered what to do with her. He froze Haru and he was trying to break free with out the key. He couldn't do it so he cal upon its power. "The Millennium Key!" he said Shocked. "Yes. Now kindly unhand my girl friend, she doesn't appreciate being touched by any one non-family besides me." He said picking her up. He hid the key as Anzu entered. She saw every one and Haru said, "Anzu, could you carry Temna. Isis, could grab Mai. I'll get the two guys." He said fire man's light Yugi and Joey. "Man Joey needs to lay off the burgers." He said staggering off the platform. Aznu and Isis laughed.

Sakura woke up in a bed next to Mai. Ygui was sitting next to her. "You alright?" she asked sitting up. "Fine, but are you, you jumped on the platform after me." He asked. "I'm well but I know Joey and Mai aren't." she said. "Marik tried to do something to you. Haru was able to stop him some how." He said. "I'm lucky he was chosen then." She said. "Chosen?" "By the Millennium Key." She said. "He has an item?" he asked. "That's how he saved Anzu." She said. "Why are we descending?" she asked. "I don't know." Said Yugi and he switch with Yami and left the room. Sakura was too weak to get out of bed. 'I hope they are alright.' She thought.
