Okay, this is chapter three! We hope the destination of the bird was a surprise- Travis thought of it, and I looked at him like he was crazy for a minute- how would they get there! But then I changed where the person he wanted to be in it was… And now it's just funny. :) R&R please!

Same decks as before, mine and my middle brothers'. Malik has my bro's deck, and his opponent has mine. So far I don't think that any cards have been duplicated, but you never know… So don't be surprised if they do. Also, I'm having a hard time coming up with reasons why no one is using their real deck, and although Marik will be without his for a while, if anyone has ideas as to why others might not use theirs it would be helpful.

Marik Whip

Chapter Three

By Torina Archelda and Sivart6

Twenty minutes later, panting, Yami and Malik arrived at the entrance to a Starbucks. Slightly confused as to why a flying blue metal thing would take the deck to a coffee shop, the two decided to enter. Deciding that they needed a battle cry, Yami raised his fist and called, "Onward, to Deckdom!"

Malik gave him a look and said, "That's stupid. We have to have something that strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear us… I know! FOLLOW THAT UFBFT!"

Yami rolled his eyes. "Yeah, because that's not stupid at all…" But he followed Malik in, regardless.

The sight that met their eyes surprised them, and the person that they were looking at was even more flabbergasted than they. Everyone in the café was staring at Maxamillion Pegasus, who had coffee all over his clothes and the mechanical Blue Eyes in his lap. The Blue Eyes lifted its head and cawed, then dropped Marik's deck in his lap. Pegasus simply stared at the soggy creature for a moment, and then gingerly picked the deck up as the Blue Eyes flew off. He looked up at Yami and asked, shocked, "What's this, Yugi-boy?"

Yami sighed as Yugi pouted again inside the puzzle. I hate that epithet, he frowned, glaring. "It's Marik's deck," Yami told him. "Could he have it back please?"

But Pegasus was ignoring him and looking through the cards. He came across Ra and gasped. "The Winged Dragon of Ra!" he breathed, shocked to see it again. "I must return this to Shadi immediately! Only he can control their ultimate power!"

Malik glared, and Marik growled at him through their mind link. "Ra is mine!" he exclaimed, angered. "Whether you like it or not, you have to give it back!"

"If you think yourself capable of controlling an Egyptian God, you have to defeat me in a duel first!" Pegasus challenged.

Marik and Malik sighed simultaneously. What is it with people today and challenging me to duels? Malik whined. This is all your fault for forcing us to go out and duel!

Well if you hadn't told me to be kind-

If you hadn't picked Wheeler to be nice to-

If your century wasn't so sodding boring-

If you hadn't got yourself trapped in a piece of bloody metal-

"Um, guys?" Yami asked, worrying from the look on Malik's face that their mental argument was getting out of hand. "Are you going to duel or not?"

They both glared. "We don't have a deck! Again!"

Yami shrugged. "That's ok. We can go back to the Game Shop and borrow a few cards from Grandpa." They all agreed, and off they went to the Game Shop.

Pegasus went through the door first, and Grandpa fell off the stool in fright at the sight of him. Pegasus blinked. "Yugi-boy, what's wrong with him?" Yami gave him a look, and his eyes widened in realization. "Oh, yes! Sorry about that whole soul-snatching thing, Grandpa-boy. Dreadfully so; it was horrible of me! But right now, you see, I really need a change of clothes and a bathroom; I take a lot of milk in my coffee and its gone bad! I smell just awful, and I don't think I can stand another moment in this attire!"

Shaking, Grandpa nodded, and Pegasus took the offered t-shirt and jeans and wandered off to the restroom. When he came out a few minutes later, Yami had already assembled decks for both him and Malik.

Grandpa was having an epileptic fit, so Yami gave him some pills and sent him off to bed. Malik and Pegasus sat across from each other at a table, and Pegasus drew first. He smirked as he surveyed his hand; he had Coffin Seller, Harpie's Brother, Summoned Skull, Hidden Book of Spell, Dark Hole, and Mystical Space Typhoon. "I set two cards face down-" he cried, laying down Hidden Book of Spell and Mystical Space Typhoon, "and summon Harpie's Brother in attack mode! Since I can't attack, I will now end my turn, Marik-boy."

Malik glared as he looked at his cards. He had Dust Tornado, Harpie's Feather Duster, Raigeki, Riryoku, and Fissure; as well as the Black Pendant he had just drawn. But no monster cards! "I activate Fissure," he said, feigning confidence, "destroying your Harpie's Brother!"

Pegasus smiled as Malik ended his turn with no monsters on the field, but his grin disappeared as he drew Ekibyo Drakmord; he didn't have any monsters either! His expression turned sullen and he said sadly, "I end my turn."

Marik drew Pot of Greed and played it, drawing Waboku and Dark Room of Nightmare. Still no monsters! How was he going to win like this? He set Raigeki, Waboku, Harpie's Feather Duster, Dust Tornado, and Riryoku, taking up all of his magic and trap card spaces; then ended his turn.

Pegasus drew Fear From the Dark, then summoned it. "I use my monster to attack your life points directly!"

Malik smiled. Finally these magic cards are coming in handy! "I activate Waboku, reducing the damage from your attack to zero!" Pegasus glared and ended his turn, and Malik drew Monster Reborn. "Now that I have space to play a magic or trap card, I activate Dark Room of Nightmare! Then I activate my face down Harpie's Feather Duster, using it to destroy your Coffin Seller and your face down card!"

Pegasus glared as his Hidden Book of Spell was destroyed. Malik ended his turn, and Pegasus drew Spirit of the Harp. "I sacrifice Fear From the Dark to summon my Summoned Skull! I then attack your life points directly, bringing your count down to 5500!"

Pegasus ended his turn, and Malik drew Mystical Space Typhoon. You idiot! Marik shot at him. You haven't drawn a monster card this whole bloody duel! Let me take over! Malik stuck out his tongue but let him. "I set Mystical Space Typhoon, then activate Raigeki, destroying your skull. Then I end my turn."

Pegasus then drew Reinforcements, set it, and used Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Marik's Dark Room of Nightmare. He then set Spirit of the Harp and ended his turn.

Marik drew Exchange and activated it. He looked at Pegasus' hand; Dark Hole and Ekibyo Drakmord. He chose Dark Hole; he would need it to destroy Pegasus' face down card.

Pegasus grinned as he looked at Marik's hand, he had Monster Reborn and Black Pendant… But no monsters, alive or dead, to use them on. He took Monster Reborn, and Marik ended his turn. Pegasus activated Monster Reborn and brought back the Summoned Skull. He then activated Reinforcements, but Marik destroyed it with Dust Tornado. He then flipped Spirit of the Harp into attack mode and attacked with both of his monsters. "Now you only have 2200 life points remaining, Marik-boy!" he gloated.

Marik grinned as Pegasus ended his turn, and he drew Ookazi before activating Dark Hole. He then activated Ookazi, and Pegasus' life points dropped to 7200.

Pegasus drew his own Monster Reborn, and returned Summoned Skull to life once more. He attacked Marik's life points directly, winning the game.

"It doesn't matter if I lost," he snarled, glaring at his opponent, "give me back my deck!" Inside their mind, Malik nodded. I'm sick of having to fight duels to win back our own cards!

"I'm returning them to Shadi," Pegasus said smugly. "He'll know what to do."

Yugi took over, angry. "No, you won't! You can't do this! They're his cards, and they were stolen, and he already beat Kaiba to get them back! You can't just steal-"

They all watched in shock as Pegasus tapped the deck with his finger and it disappeared. "Safe in Egypt," he said smugly. "Good day."

He then walked out of the Game Shop, the others staring after him. Yami took over and sighed. "Time to break out the piggy banks and buy airplane tickets." He went up the stairs to his room, and a still dazed Marik followed.

Owari Chapter Three

This one is 1366 words. Hope you like it, we worked really hard on this duel. Time for us to go eat dinner, so we're ending it here. I think that the duels in each chapter make it more realistic, but if they're boring you then we can cut them out or condense them. Please review and let us know what you think of that, and everything else!

Okay, today we fixed a misspelling in this chapter… Four will be out soon, promise. Today, if I can get Travis to sit still for long enough to write it. And there aren't any more duels until chapter seven, so if you like them there's something to look forward to and if you don't you've got a reprieve.
