A cold blade touched Brianna's bare neck as it slowly sunk into her skin. Brianna's mouth couldn't move she couldn't scream all words were lost. The blade cut into her neck as warm blood gushed out. Brianna sank to her knees, trying to take hold of the current moment.

Brianna blinked. Her sight became clear again and she looked around. Her hand instantly reached for her neck, but nothing was there. Brianna tried to get up from the ground but it was harder done than said.

Why couldn't her body take the shadow's strain anymore, why was it so different in this world? The shadows were never this hard to bear. She felt like dying just by standing there. Brianna struggled to stand up and looked at Andrea, she was taking this just fine. Brianna leaned on a chair to keep from collapsing.

"First I play Gemini Elf in attack mode, I set 2 cards face down and activate, then I activate Ookazi, which decreases your life points by 800," Andrea said as Brianna was knocked back by a couple of small hot meteors and fell to the ground. "Then I activate Stop Defense."

Brianna: 3200LP

Andrea: 4000LP

"Then I'll use my Gemini Elf to attack your Kuriboh," Andrea ordered as her monsters rushed toward the small terrified fluffball.

Gemini Elf: 1900/900

Kuriboh: 300/200

"I activate Kuriboh's special ability which let's me negate all attacks as long as I send one card to the graveyard," Brianna said as she placed a card in her graveyard slot.

"That probably means it's my turn," Brianna picked her self up and drew her card.

'At least that time in the plane helped me build up a better deck…' Brianna thought as she drew her card.

"First I summon Sonic Bird," Brianna said as she slapped the card down, "Its abilty let's be movie 1 Ritual Magic Card from my Deck to my hand "I end my turn there."

"The Fluff ball's balls right open," Andrea said as she smirked, "Attack!"

"You're gonna fall for the same trick twice?" Brianna said flashing off a smile of her own, "Activate Mirror Force!"

A dome of glass reflected Gemini Elf's attack and it blew it to pieces.

"I summon La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp," Andrea said as a lamp appeared on the field and the green puff of smoke formed into a monster. Andrea smiled maniacally, "I play Final Countdown! I give up 2000 of my life points, and after 20 turns, counting this as its first turn, I automatically win the duel."

Brianna: 3200LP

Andrea: 2000LP

The plane's roof opened up and 20 scorching hot balls of fire circled around them each of them number accordingly.

"I'll end my turn there," Andrea said as she smirked. As her turn ended one of the fireballs crashed down into the middle of the field and shook the plane. They both grabbed onto a chair to keep from falling.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Brianna swore to herself. 'I only have 19 turns left to win this duel, and 19 turns to snap Andrea out of this.'

Brianna looked at her hand; it looked like nothing this turn would save her now.

"First I play Mystical Space Typhoon and destroy your Stop Defense!" Brianna slapped the card on the duel disk and water washed over the field shattering stop defense. "Then I place one monster and a card face down and switch my other monsters to defense mode."

The fireball labeled 19 crashed down onto the field, shaking the plane once more. Brianna didn't pay much attention to Andrea's turn she was off brainstorming to herself.

'Okay how did Yugi get Joey out of that trance…um…Yugi gave Joey the Red Eyes Black Dragon. Lemme think…I gave Andrea Dark Magician Girl but how am I suppose to get it to the field? I'll just have to hope that she summons it soon…'

When Brianna looked up, Andrea had seemed to summon another monster, was it wouldn't be long until they were all gone…

On cue the fireball labeled 18 crashed down.

"First I summon to the field Ebon Magician Curran," Brianna said as a short girl appeared on the field she wore all black with a touch of white and blue here and there and black bunny ears. She was holding in her hand a pink whip, "Due to her affect, for every monster you have on the field you lose 300 life points."

The little girl jumped from her position and charged for Andrea, slashing her whip twice at Andrea, and receded back to her position. Andrea flinched in pain as she staggered.

Brianna: 3200LP

Andrea: 1400LP

"Then I play Pot of Greed," Brianna drew 2 cards, "And set one card faced down and end my turn."

Another ball of fire crashed onto the field. Only 16 were left.

"Time to destroy that little midget!" Andrea yelled as her Genie went on the attack.

La Jinn the Mystic Genie: 1800/1000

Ebon Magician Curran: 1200/0

"Not so fast! I activate Negate Attack!" Brianna said pressing the switch on her duel disk.

"I have bad news!" Andrea said also pressing a button on her duel disk, "Activate Magic Jammer!"

"No!" Brianna said as she covered herself as her monster was blasted away.

Brianna: 2600LP

Andrea: 1400LP

Joey's eyes slowly opened as they blinked a couple of times before sitting up and rubbing his sore head. He looked up only to be met with a tall figure shadowing over him.

"AH! What da hell!" Joey said as he jumped back. Joey squinted his eyes and thought for a few seconds, which was a pretty amazing feat.

"Wait a minute…Kaiba!" Joey yelled in realization.

"Took you long enough," Kaiba said in a monotone. Due to Joey's yelling everyone else around them woke up.

"What happened?" Came Tea's voice as she woke up next.

"I think I got hit with a hammer…" Came Tristan's voice.

"Who are you…?" Yugi said tiredly as he stared blankly at everyone. Kaiba rolled his eyes.

"Huh!" They all shouted together (except for Kaiba…) "Why do I look so weird looking!"

"I wouldn't be so surprised you already all looked weird in the first place…" Kaiba mumbled to himself, then he said flatly, "If you guys are done talking to yourselves I need two questions answered, 1. Where the hell am I? And 2. If this is one of your save the world crap, kindly leave me out of it."

"Okay I have two answers for ya," Joey said holding up two fingers, he said sardonically, "1. How kind of you to wait for us like dat, and 2. If we new where the hell we were and what were we doing we wouldn't be babbling like a bunch of idiots!"

Joey paused, "Wait that came out wrong…"

"Well if that's all you have to answer I'll be going now," Kaiba said as he strode off toward the candy shop where his younger brother was. Girls passed by staring at him and returning to their group giggling. Even in the real world, Kaiba still kept his good looks. His hair didn't change much, he still held piercing crystal blue eyes, and wore the trench coat look that only he could pull off. He opened the door to the candy shop as the bell over it rang.

"Mokuba we're leaving," He said as his eyes fell on the 12 year old child shoving his face with candy.

"Aww…but Seto…" Mokuba whined.

"If you shove your face with anymore sugar you're going to bother me for the rest of the night," Kaiba said remembering the last time Mokbua ran on a sugar rampage. Mokuba pouted but made his way to the counter to pay for the candy. The price ran up with a ding!

"What currency do you use here…" Mokuba said as he looked over the Japanese money he held in his hand.

"American dollars…" The clerk said staring at the strangely.

"Ne, ne, Ni-sama you brought American money with you right?" Mokuba asked. Kaiba took his suitcase which held cards, and his duel disk. But behind his duel disk laid a layer of cash from almost every currency available. Kaiba handed Mokuba a 50 dollar bill.

"Sorry, the smallest bill we have is a fifty do you have change for that?" Mokuba said rubbing his hand behind his head as he handed the 50 dollar bill.

The clerk looked astonished at all the money they held.

"S-sure," The clerked stuttered as he gave them their change. Mokuba walked out of the shop happily licking a lollipop almost the size of his head.

"Seto, what about Yugi and the others?" Mokuba said pointed to the small group not to far from them talking to themselves about a plan.

"What about them?" Kaiba said in a 'I-don't-really-care-tone.'

"We have to help them…They won't have anywhere to live, become hobos, die and you wouldn't be able to duel Yugi anymore…" Mokuba said making the puppy dog pout.

'He does have a point there…' Kaiba thought to himself, he sighed, "Fine go get them."

A ring of fire hung over them consisting of 5 orbs of fire.

Brianna: 700LP

Andrea: 600LP

"First I'll start my turn off by sacrificing one of my monsters to summon this," Brianna said as she slapped the card down, "Dark Magician Girl!"

Andrea's eyes widened slightly.

"I think it's going to look a little familiar to you," Brianna said as her faced scrunched up in almost anger as she glared as it would somehow make Andrea remember.

"What are you talking about?" Andrea snapped. Then she suddenly winced and grabbed her head.

'What the hell…' Andrea thought as her head throbbed with more pain. Images flashed through her head in random orders, the confusion made Andrea choke on the air; she fell to her knees screaming.

"Andrea…" Brianna whispered as she stared at her screaming friend.

"Damn it Andrea! Snap out of it!" Brianna whispered under her breath, "Now I play Soul Exchange and I'll switch my Dark Magician Girl with your Rude Kaiser, then I'll end my turn."

The 7th orb of fire fell from the open sky and crashed down.

"Why…" Andrea whispered as she staggered to get up, "Why did you give me your damn monster!"

'It must be a trick, it must be a trick. But how? How will this help her, she's totally defenseless she has one tiny monster on the field which I know has no special affects and no magic or trap cards on the field.'

"Because…" Brianna said angrily, "I'm your friend Andrea! Are you too much of an idiot to not remember!"

Andrea stared at her surprised.

"You're lying!" Andrea yelled not believing what she had just said herself. "Well! It doesn't matter whether you are or not, you're going into the shadows soon!"

Tears streamed down Andrea's face. Andrea touched her wet face and stared at her own tear not believing at what she saw.

"W-why am I crying…" Andrea stuttered, she quickly wiped them away and resumed to the game, "First I'll have Dark Magician Girl attack your Spear Dragon."

Brianna: 700LP

Andrea: 600LP

"Then I'll use this magic card," Andrea said as she slapped a card on her disk, "It's called Dormant Eruption!"

A volcano appeared next to Andrea a few inches taller than her sputtering some lava.

"First I sacrifice half of my life points," Andrea said as her life points went down.

Brianna: 700LP

Andrea: 300LP

"Then I sacrifice a monster," Andrea said as Dark Magician Girl faded into the volcano, as it sputtered up some more lava. "And in 3 turns I'll be able to summon any monster from my deck. Then I'll sent one monster face down and end my turn there."

The 6th orb crashed down.

'Damn it, it didn't work…' Brianna thought frustrated at this point the only thing left to do is battle it all out and hope for the best, which didn't give Brianna much hope. In the worse case scenario the plane would crash and everyone would die. Wait a minute…who WAS piloting the plane?

She'd think about that later

Brianna drew her card, Magical Hats, not the card she was looking for but it might help out later.

"I place one card face down and a monster in defense position," Brianna said as the 5th orb crashed down, Andrea's volcano was sputtering out too much lava for comfort…

"Looks like I can't do much either," Andrea admitted reluctantly, "I'll pass."

The 4rd orb crashed down.

'This should be the turn…where…her monster will come out of that volcano…' Brianna thought as she watched the volcano erupt and spill lava dangerously. 'I need that card…I need that monster…come on…'

Brianna closed her eyes shut and drew her card, she grinned as she saw her card. Andrea' volcano exploded that same second some bright and shiny came out, Brianna had to shield her eyes.

"Welcome to the field my Cybernetic Magician!" Andrea said as a Mage stood there, it's armor made of the latest technology gleaming proudly.

'That doesn't look so bad…' Brianna thought to herself. 'But I don't think it's quite enough.'

"Ready!" Brianna yelled anxiously slapping the card on her reader, "First I play Black Luster Ritual and sacrifice the two monsters on my side of the field!"

The two pots of fire engulfed both the monsters; the fire collided which each other and covered the whole field. A lone figure stood in the middle of the fire.

"Give a nice warm welcome to my Black Luster Soldier!" Brianna said as a green-skinned nice appeared on the field wearing shining black armor.

Black Luster Soldier: 3000/2500

"Ha! Rules say you can't attack this turn!" Andrea said smugly.

"And that's where you're wrong," Brianna said smirking, "Now I activate Quick Attack! Which let's my Soldier attack this turn!"

"Oh no what ever shall I do," Andrea said with mock-worry, "I know I'll use my Magician's special ability which let's me drop an opponent's monster's attack points to 2000 if I discard one card from my hand.

Brianna: 300LP

Andrea: 300LP

"What!" Brianna cried out surprised as her attack failed.

"Too bad, it was a good try though," Andrea remarked, "Black Luster is going to stay like that until the end of my next turn. Which means…"

"Fine I end my turn," Brianna growled.

The 3rd orb crashed down,

"Now I'll attack you're Black Luster Soldier!" Andrea said as her mage lunged for the now weakened soldier.

"Now yet! I play Magical Hats," Brianna said as she activated her card, "Pick wisely."

Andrea thought for a moment.

"The one on the far left!" Andrea said as her monster lunged for the hat.

"Too bad!" Brianna yelled, "Activate Spellbinding Circle!"

Cybernetic Magician: 1700/1000

"Damn," Andrea whispered to herself.

'I have nothing that will help me right now…' Andrea thought as she ended her turn.

The 2nd orb crashed down.

Brianna silently pressed a switch on her Duel Disk and let her Magician come out.

One more turn, Andrea thought, she only had to stall her for one more turn, she closed her eyes waiting for the worst…

"I'm not attacking this turn," Brianna stated. Andrea looked surprised; she looked up relieved she wasn't going into the shadows but yet curious.

"Why!" Andrea yelled, "Why aren't you attacking!"

"I'm your best friend, I can't lose you here," Brianna said giving a small smile.

"You held back didn't you…" Andrea whispered. "This whole duel, you've held back, you never wanted to beat me, and you could've won if you really wanted to…I never asked you to do this!"

Tears streamed down Andrea's eyes. Brianna's expression softened.

"Well you'll just have to shut up and remember by yourself, I can't help you with this anymore…" Brianna said as she ended her turn.

The last ball of fire crashed down…

"Wait! No! Don't! Don't!" Andrea screamed helplessly, but too late, Brianna's body fell lifelessly to the ground. Andrea whispered to herself over and over again… "Why…"

Yes I am evil.

Yes, it takes me a long ass time to finish a chapter.

But on the bright side I'm almost done with summer work! D

I'm going to Canada! (August 21st)

Brianna! Gomen Nasai! I have to miss your birthday!

Also I tweaked a few affects of cards here and there, and that volcano card…yah…doesn't exist…but that's the only card I'll make up.

Also notice, I'm changed my pen name to Chibi Kikumaru

It'd being changed cause of the current anime I'm watching, Prince of Tennis
