Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh


The golden pendulum swung back and forth on its chain in front of my face.

"Correct," Ulrich said smirking, "It's a millennium item. I guess your wondering what it does. Well…I'll show right after…"

Ulrich trailed off and picked up another object from his desk. He walked over to me; my eyes never left him as he walked toward me. I slowly got up trying to back away. Then I broke off running and trying to open the door. But I wasn't quick enough and Ulrich caught be and pulled me back by my hair. I winced from the pain.

"Long hair is so pesky and so hard to work with…" He said frowning as he stroked my long hair, "I think I'll just take care of that."

Almost all my hair was cut off in that second. Ulrich grabbed me by my head and pulled me back with brute strength. I fell to the ground as Ulrich threw the former strands of my hair at me. I winced again.

"Don't worry," Ulrich said flashing another devious smirk, "This won't hurt at all."

Andre fell to the ground with a loud thud! As if dead. Ulrich frowned as he picked her up from the ground and hauled her over his shoulder.

"That was no fun at all…" He muttered, "She barely put up a fight…"

Ulrich made his way down his staircase; he walked toward his fireplace where he removed a brick to reveal a small switch which he flicked on. He placed the brick back and headed toward his basement were the ground was slowly opening to reveal something similar looking to an elevator. He stepped in as the doors closed and headed downward toward a large spacious room. The only thing that was there was another doorway, a huge computer facing them, and a small table and some chairs in the middle of the room.

"She's here," Ulrich called. A figure sat at a chair facing the computer and typed on, as if not paying attention.

"Wake her up," The figure commanded dully, his eyes still glued to the computer. Ulrich mumbled a few words under his breath and took out his millennium item. He recited a couple of words asAndrea's eyes snapped opened looking around confused, almost falling off the table in the process.

"Ulrich…Where am I?" Andrea asked stupidly.

"My basement…"

"You have a secret lair in your basement...?"

"Uh..." Ulrich said unsurely as he thought of something, "It's my dad's...remember how I told you he was a scientist...Sometimes he spends his time here working..."

"...Okay..." Andrea replied unsurely.

"Enough talk," the figure in the chair said as he turned around, "I am Jiro, Ulrich's younger brother; I want you to do us a favor."

"Sure anything," Andrea answered, her brow furrowed as in trying to guess what they wanted her to do.

"We want you to duel with a certain person," Jiro said pressing a button on the keyboard; a girl's profile came up.

"Who's that?" Andrea questioned.

"The person we want you to battle is Brianna Velasquez; her picture is shown up there," Jiro said pointing to the screen up above, "It seems like the world is once again in danger, Brianna is one of the targets who seems to be one of the few endangering the world, we need you to duel her and win. Ulrich and I will go out and target other people."

Ulrich snickered a moment as to how cheesy his speech has sounded. Jiro shot a glare that said 'just-go-with-it'. Ulrich glared back but straightened up.

"Her next plane will take off in around an hour, we'll be sending you off with our fastest jet in order to catch up to her, and remember you better not lose." Ulrich commanded. Ulrich tossed her two duel disks with decks inserted into the slots, "The black rimmed on is yours and the other one is Velasquez's disk."

"Reminds you of Battle City, doesn't it?" Andrea asked as she strapped on her duel disk.

"Yah…it kind of does," Ulrich said silently smirking to himself. Andrea smiled.

'Here we go again,' Andrea thought as she made her way towards the get.

O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

"The plan will land in 5 minutes ma'am," The pilot informed.

"Uh, okay…" Andrea mumbled not really towards everyone, she was deep in thought.

'That name Brianna…where have I heard it before…Well it's a pretty common name…but WHERE have it heard it…damn it…' Andrea thought to herself as she furrowed her eyebrow. 'No time for that now…I have to duel her in less than 5 minutes.'

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Brianna laid down on her seat and took a deep breath. The one thing she hated about planes was how long she had to stay in one doing absolutely nothing. The plane shook for a couple of seconds and Brianna held onto the seat handle.

"We are experiencing some turbulence please keep your seat belt on at all times, and enjoy the ride," The pilot announced from the intercom. The plane was pretty empty, well; she was flying first class, only her family and a small group of other people sat in this area.

"You may now take off your seatbelts and move freely about," The pilot informed as Brianna took off her seat belt. She wanted a drink, the stupid attendant took too long. She got up and looked for the flight attendant, but she was nowhere in first class. She exited it and looked around in the regular area. There still was no one walking around, she looked around again to find something strange. Everyone was…sleeping, it was around what? 7pm, barely anyone sleeps this hour, but having everyone sleep at this hour was strange.

Brianna headed back to first class to find the people other than her family had disappeared.

"Hey mom," Brianna called, "Something's a little weird, everyone is asleep already and I can't find the flight attendant…"

Stopped and looked over her family they were all sleeping, how where they all sleeping? Well they were in for a rude awakening.

"Mom!" Brianna yelled shaking her mom furiously, but when her mother did now wake up she went to wake up her sister and father but no avail. Brianna looked out the window…it was dark…very dark. But that was impossible it wasn't even nighttime yet…

"Shadow realm," Brianna snarled to herself, Brianna stiffened up she looked towards the plane pilot's room, "I know you're there come out."

A figure appeared from behind the door. Brianna's eyes widened, sure her hair was a lot shorter than before but there was no mistaking it…it was….

"Andrea!" Brianna yelled happily as her face lit up with happiness.

Andrea's eyebrows furrowed and looked at her strangely.

"Don't go trying to trick me," Andrea said venomously as she threw Brianna a duel disk, "besides, I want to get this over with quick, I don't plan on hanging around."

"Huh?" Brianna said taken aback, "What are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about?" Andrea snapped back, "Here I've never seen you before and you go acting like we're great friends. If you're trying to trick me, it ain't working."

"Wait we are good friends aren't we…?" Brianna mumbled to herself, "Wait! What do you mean you haven't seen me before!"

"Just shut up and duel!" Andrea snapped angrily.

"I ain't dueling you!" Brianna protested.

"Would you rather have your precious family killed?" Andrea said silently smirking to herself, Brianna growled to herself.

"Duel!" They both yelled.

(A/N: Okay let's 'pretend' our world has actual duel disks that don't work like crap and actually make holograms P)

Brianna:4000LP

Andrea: 4000LP

'What the hell is up with Andrea. Did she get hit by a boulder and land into lala land where some figment of her imagination told her to kill me?" Brianna thought angrily as she drew her cards, 'It's barely been 4 hours, what the hell happened?'

"I go first," Brianna said.

'Do I really want to duel her?' Brianna thought. But she was interrupted when the chairs between them were suddenly rooted out and thrown aside. 'Damn it, if she loses she goes to the shadow realm, but if I lose I go to the shadow realm, this is a lose/lose situation.'

"Stop daydreaming and make your move!" Andrea said getting impatient.

"Fine!" Brianna snapped.

"I place two cards face down and put Kuriboh in defense mode and end my turn," Brianna said.

"That's what I've been waiting for…" Andrea mumbled as she drew her card.


Okay so I don't know the names of the people who work at planes, not like I pay attention to that, (I've never been in first class anyway so I have no clue what it's like, so...just go with what I say)

The chapter would be longer but it's a duel, I saw how long it took me to write duels so I decided to stick this up here while I finish the duel unless you guys wanted to wait another week...
