hibryd: Time for Number 13! Let's just hope it's not unlucky!

MASAMUNE: Yeah, right.

hibryd: I decided to let MASAMUNE out of his cage, since he's an author too, and can help with various. . .things in the story that need helping.

MASAMUNE: That and you were sick of me throwing my shoes at you.

hibryd: Dammit, you let them know! Cage for you!

MASAMUNE: No! You can't! I don't want to go back there!

hibryd: If I simply make a small motion with my hands like so. . . – makes motion with hands – MASAMUNE is frozen in time and stuck in a cage!

MASAMUNE-back in cage with a freaked look on his face-

hibryd: You guys know the drill.

One Day at Home Chapter 13-

Steven and Paul stood in the old stadium where they knew the blimp would land later on. They handed their Locator Cards in to Kaiba's goons and each received their Duelist I.D.'s, Kaiba overlooking them.

"There is only room for 7 more Duelists, and when the Duelist with the other two Egyptian God Cards show, then the Finals will start without them!"

"Seems Kaiba has no clue that you have Slifer the Sky Dragon, Paul."

"Guess he's in for a nasty surprise when I play it. Or when Yugi doesn't, I guess."

They high-fived each other and waited for the other people to arrive, and see who would've been in, but was cut out by them.

Over a small period of time, Yugi, Mai, Joey, and Ishizu all appeared. When Yugi and Joey walked in, Steven had said "Finally! More people!"

"Steven thinks Kaiba's a grouch. Now that you mention it, I agree."

They all laughed, even Mai, who didn't know them, but had heard of them from Yugi and Joey.

"Between you and me," Mai said to Steven. "Yugi told me that Joey's afraid of you. Why is that?"

"No clue." Steven replied, grinning at Paul.

At that time, Michael walked in.

"Thought you'd be here, Paul. So did little Steven earn his way, or did the people he challenged run away because of his freaky appearance?"

"I earned my way here just like everyone else! Quit saying stuff like that!"

"Baby's probably gonna cry. Here're my Locator Cards. Just let me on the blimp."

"I'm with dis guy. Lemme on the blimp!" Joey said.

Steven laughed.

As they all got on the blimp, a chilling wind started to blow as Odion, disguised as Marik, walked into the stadium.

"Don't tell them." Paul whispered to Steven.

"My Locator Cards."

"You qualify. Here is your I.D."

Odion walked onto the blimp.

Next was Marik disguised as Namu.

"Don't tell them." Steven whispered to Paul, laughing.

And finally Ishizu appeared.

The 10 Final Duelists boarded the KaibaCorp blimp and prepared for the preliminary duels.
