Ice hell fire: Here's another chap, enjoy!

"I'm not your master." Kaiba frowned at the great beast standing before him.

The great beast tilted its huge head and examined him thoroughly, sniffed him and finally said "Indeed you are not, my apology. But you resemble him in many ways. My name is Troce, good to meet you dragon lord. May I ask why did mistress send you here?"

" 'Good to meet you'? Don't they say nice to meet you?" Mokuba stared at the tri-horned dragon in front of him curiously. "And why are you calling my brother a dragon lord? Isn't that card called Lord of dragons? And who is your mistress? Do you mean a female master or some other way?"

"They do say nice to meet you, but dragons don't if they don't want to. We use good to meet you when we think it's a good thing, and nice to meet you when we meet some one who isn't a dragon lord but we think that particular person is nice; just ignore it, it's kind of confusing. I do mean a female master, that's Sapphire and I do believe you have already met her. Lord of dragons is a duel monster; dragon lord is a person who decides that they like dragons over all others. Our system might take up to a few months to accept but in our terms it's much easier. "

"It seems more confusing to me." Mokuba grunted

"It isn't little one. For example, good to meet you could mean that I am glad you are here to help out, or I think you should be an interesting person to make friends with. Nice to meet you means nothing but that you are acceptable, you MIGHT, just MIGHT be an interesting person. "

"You mean good to see you."

"Not quite. Now tell me why you are here."


A monster… as black as night, as gruesome as a zombie, as much a horror as your greatest nightmare. Her friends fell, one by one…. Serenity screamed.

Serenity felt someone shaking her and open her eyes, she saw Mai hovering above her, worried.

"Mai…. Tristan and Duke… it's all my fault!" Serenity broke down one again and clutch on to Mai. Mai hugged her lightly.

"There there, now tell me what happened."


"…we just followed the tunnel and ended up here." With that Mokuba finished the story about meeting Sapphire in battle city, the duels and so on.

"So you have no idea who she is, or what MAGE is."

"Exactly."

"I see, but this is a long story, that needed to be told by her and her alone. I have no right to tell you her history"

"But time is exactly what we are running out of." Kaiba suddenly spoke up.

"Don't worry, you see when you feel time is short, is actually when your brain works slower, and when you do monotonous work and you don't have much to think about your brain speeds up and time seems to be longer. And here we are programmed to think about a million times faster than outside but we seem to be normal to ourselves."

"In Japanese please." Mokuba obviously doesn't have a clue what the dragon is talking about.

"In plain that means when your brain works fast, the work that originally takes you for example one hour could now only take you half an hour. If your pace is faster the times seems to be slower. Like running along a river at the same speed of a toy boat on the water it doesn't seem to move much. If your brain works slowly and you use the time that another person uses to talk two sentence to talk one you think that they seem to be talking a lot faster than you. In here what seems to be a minute of talking is actually done in about millisecond. It's the same thing with a turtle: It acts slowly and thinks slowly so the world should seem a lot faster to the turtle than us, which means a 200 years old turtle, could think its life is as short as 75 years of human life. An ant could move quickly and think quickly, so even if its life is short it might feel that its life is as long as ours. "

"I THINK I get it. That means when I'm having fun my brain actually work slower than usual so it seems short, and when I am doing my homework time seems to be dragging on forever because I am actually thinking faster than usual."

"Not exactly but that's half the idea, Sapphire could explain it better..." The dragon stopped its speech as it sees a figure fell on to the ground not far away.


"So big four Nizbitt took their body." Mai seems to go into a trace until her heard the sound of water rushing towards them, along with a scream.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

"Yugi!" "Tea!" Both Serenity and Mai cried out in surprise as the flood of water bought Yugi and tea in to the barn and all four of them floated up. They quickly swam on to a stand where the water cannot reach them and start to dry themselves with Tea's fire sorceress card.

"What happened to you two?" Mai asked.

"I'll tell you later, I'm freezing." Yugi tried his best to suppress his teeth from banning his proper speech and manage to succeed. He is wet all over like a cat that cannot swim.


"Is she going to be alright?" Mokuba asked with concern.

"She should in a while, she didn't lose blood, and her ribs aren't broken. Just a few light bruises to be seen; I think some food and some time would do."

Sapphire opened her eyes and sees Mokuba, Troce the tri-horned dragon and her own familiar Beak hovering above her. Not far away Kaiba stood leaning on a wall, unconcerned of whatever happening in the room. She reached up and stroked the nose of the dragon, who purred in a way. Beak is obviously alright, she noted to herself. She leaned on the stomach on the dragon, regained her breath and steadied herself. Reaching into her pocket and drew out a quite ordinary flask containing some quite unusually looking blue liquid and took a sip, immediately all sign of injury was gone. She opened her mouth to speak, but she was immediately interrupted by a giant tentacle which pushed its way through the earth below them. Sapphire jumped right out of the way and throw both Kaiba and Mokuba onto Troce's back, mounting Beak herself and dived into the first hole the tentacle made and dived down as the tentacle burst through the spot she was standing on. The tri-horned dragon followed, ignoring the protesting Kaiba.

Beak turned sharp left right in to the barn Yugi and co. is warming up and flew into them, knocked them right back into the water. Sapphire sighed, throwing out another blue-eyes white dragon, who is less than happy when ordered to grab the four of them. The dragon ran right through the other wall of the barn, also ignoring the horrified screams of its passengers. But no sooner they were cornered back into virtual Domino City. Sapphire gestured beak to stop, and stared up at the floating face up in the sky in disbelieve.

"Gozaburo."

The middle aged purple faced man turn and laughed and menacing laugh. Noah caught up with them at the back; they have no where to run, to go and less to escape this virtual nightmare.
