"Are you ready for this?" Yami Yugi asks.

"Yes, are you?" Gabrielle questions.

"Duel!"

The two begin their duel, it is a huge deal seeing as both are excellent duelists. Their friends watch with anticipation to see which one will win, they are pretty much evenly matched. After thirty minutes, Yami Yugi is at 900 life points and Gabrielle is at 800.

"You are an amazing duelist," Yami Yugi compliments. "This certainly one of the most difficult duels I have been in."

"You are great too, I expect no less from you," Gabrielle says, a smile forming on her lips.

Yami Yugi feels his heart skip a beat at her smile, but why? Why does he feel some sort of connection to her?

"My move," Yami Yugi says, drawing a card. "I summon Gaia the Fierce Knight!"

'Oh no! If he plays polymerization he can merge his fierce knight with his curse of the dragon!' Gabrielle thinks. 'If he does that, my Amazon Fighter is done for!'

"Now, I will use polymerization to merge my Fierce Knight and Curse of the Dragon to Gaia the Dragon Champion!"

"Alright Yugi!" Tristan cheers.

"Go Yugi!" Tea cheers.

"Now, Gaia! Attack her Amazon Fighter!"

His monster attacks Gabrielle's monster, destroying her Amazon and taking 300 life points from Gabrielle. From the aftershock of the attack, Gabrielle's necklace, that she hid under her shirt, comes into view. Both Yami Yugi and Pegasus look at the necklace, stunned by what is on the pendent. On the pendant is the eye of Ra, just like their millennium items, but how is that possible? There are no other items in the world that have the eye of Ra on them, how is it that this girl has such a thing?

"Where did you get that necklace?" Yami Yugi demands.

"It's a family heirloom," Gabrielle says, gripping the pendant. "It's been passed down from woman to woman for thousands of years."

Yami Yugi goes quiet, only someone from Egypt could have such a thing and a higher up no less. Could this girl's family have some sort of connection to his past?

"My turn," Gabrielle says, drawing a card. She smiles and looks at Yami Yugi. "I summon Dark Magician Girl! And to end my turn I place one card face down."

'She's planning something, but what?' Yami Yugi thinks.

"Alright, I play my Dark Magician!" Yami Yugi says. "Now Dark Magician! Attack her Dark Magician Girl!"

"I was waiting for that!" Gabrielle smirks. "You activated my trap! Negate Attack!"

"No!"

"My turn, now I summon Harpie Lady! And with my second face down card: Elegant Egotist, I change my Harpie Lady into Harpie Lady sisters!"

Yami Yugi looks in shock as the Harpies appear, her deck is like a mixture of his and Mai's decks. She has a move for everything and knows how to duel in a tight spot.

"Continuing with my turn, I use Cyber Shield! This bring my Harpie Lady Sisters attack from 1950 to 2450! Harpies attack Yugi's Dark Magician!"

The Harpies attack the Dark Magician when suddenly he vanishes. Yami Yugi smiles as the magical hats appear.

"What!? When did that happen!?"

"I will admit, that move was impressive," Yami Yugi tells her. "Very well thought out. However, I had a feeling you were going to attack my Dark Magician seeing as when he is in the graveyard your Dark Magician Girl gains 300 attack points."

"Whoa! Those two are amazing!" Joey says.

"They can almost predict the others move," Maria says. "It's like they are connected."

The duel continues for ten more minutes when Yami Yugi is able to get Gabrielle's life points down to zero. Gabrielle looks down at her cards, even with all of her planning and faith, she still lost. She sighs and looks at Yami Yugi, she gives him a big smile.

"That was a lot of fun! I haven't that much fun in years, I hope we can duel again someday!"

"It was an amazing duel, one day we will duel again," Yami smiles.

"Yugi Muto will face Maximillion Pegasus for the last duel to crown the King of Games!" A man says.

The duelists take a break so Yugi can prepare for the most difficult duel ever. Gabrielle, being who she is, helps Yugi relax, she uses her Reiki to remove any tension Yugi has.

"Thank you Gabrielle," Yami smiles. "Where did you learn to do that?"

"I learned from one of my foster mothers," Gabrielle explains. "She would have adopted Maria and I if she was able to."

"Why couldn't she?"

"She is married to another woman, the government will not let same sex couples adopt children."

"I see."

"Yugi," Joey says. "It's time."

Everyone goes into the dueling room, all ready to watch the last duel between Pegasus and Yugi. The teens glare at Pegasus, all wanting what he has done to be reversed. When the duel starts, Gabrielle feels like something is going on elsewhere, she looks over at Maria before taking off.

(Gabrielle's POV-about time I changed)

I run down the hall, following the feeling I have. I know it has something to do with Seto Kaiba, and whatever it is, it's not good. I soon see two of Pegasus's body guards standing in front of a room. That's where Kaiba has to be, I sneak up on the men as swiftly I can without being noticed. As I try to open the door, on of the men grab me, I jump a bit and my elbow flies back and hits him in the stomach hard. The second man comes at me as his partner falls to the floor. I jump out of the way making him ram into the door, breaking it open.

I jump over him and run to Kaiba, I pull him away from the computer before he can do anything. I grab a pipe I see lying on the floor, I lift it over my head and smash the computer as hard as I can. I can't let Pegasus gain any information about Kaiba Corp, Seto will thank me later. The men go after me again and I uses the pipe to hit the men's knees, causing them to be unable to follow me. I lift Kaiba onto my back and I take off down the hall, back towards the others.

(Back to Normal POV)

"Gabs! Where did you g-" Maria starts when she sees Kaiba on her back.

"Help, he's heavy and taller than me," Gabrielle breathes out.

Tristan and Joey help Gabrielle, they lift Kaiba up and lean him against the wall next to his younger brother. Maria decides to stay by their side with Tristan while the others go back to watching Yugi and Pegasus. They see the pained and worried look on his face, Gabrielle feels her heart clench at the sight.

"You can beat him Yugi!" Gabrielle calls. "You are the best duelist!"

Yami Yugi looks up at her, his heart beating faster from her words and confidence in him.

'You can do this Yami! All of our friends believe in us!' Yugi says.

"Yes, we will win and save everyone," Yami says.

"Gabrielle!" Maria calls, worry in her voice.

"What is it?" Gabrielle moves over to her friend.

"They are colder now, I am worried something bad will happen before we can save them."

"Maria, cheer Yugi on for me," Gabrielle orders. "I will help Mokuba and Seto."

After taking down one of Pegasus's monsters, Yugi looks over to his friends to see them smiling at him. He smiles back and notices Gabrielle next to Seto and Mokuba, using her Reiki to help them. I turn back to Pegasus and we continue the duel.

(Twenty minutes later. Gabrielle's POV)

"How can we possibly help him now?" Tea asks.

We all look at the darkness that surrounds the battlefield. Tristan tried to run into it and appeared on the other side of the barrier. I feel the worry in me getting bigger and bigger, what are we going to do? Yugi cannot stay in there for long without being in great danger. I grip my pendent and close my eyes.

'By the gods above, please let Yugi be alright.'

Suddenly I felt a shock, it made me jump and gasp. Everyone looks at me as I look at my hands.

"What happened Gabs?" Maria asks.

"I was praying for Yugi to be okay when suddenly I felt something," I explain. "It was like I was shocked."

We all look at one another when Tea holds out her hand, I look at her before taking her hand. Maria, Tristan, and Joey place their hands on top of ours. We all focused on Yugi.

(Inside the barrier Normal POV)

"You will lose this Yugi-boy!" Pegasus declares. "You can't possibly beat me or my millenium eye!"

Yami growls as he tries his best to win the match, he looks at his hand that rests on top of his deck. He thinks of his friends, his family, those Pegasus has hurt.

'You can do this Yug!' The two heard.

"What?" Pegasus asks, confused.

'You can beat this guy!' Tristan calls.

'We are here for you Yugi!' Tea cheers.

'We all are here,' Maria adds.

Yami smiles as he can feels all of his friends, including Maria and Gabrielle. Pegasus looks in horror as Yugi's friends' confidence and hope reach them. With this, Yugi continues to duel, when Pegasus tries to read his mind all he sees are Yugi's friends. In the end, Yami Yugi wins the duel.

"He did it!" Joey cheers.

The friends all cheer for their friend, each one hugs him. Maria just pats his back when Gabrielle tackles him in a hug. Yami's face turns red as does Gabrielle's, she moves back and looks down.

"You are awesome man!" Tristan says, wrapping his arm around his shoulder.

"It's thanks to you guys," Yugi says, Yami going back into his puzzle.

"Hey, where did Pegasus go?" Maria asks.

"Hey! He owes us!" Joey yells.

"You guys go after him, Gabs and I will watch after Seto and Mokuba," Maria says.

They nod and the group splits off. Maria and Gabrielle are able to get the two into a room and set them onto a bed. Maria carried Mokuba on her back while Gabrielle had Seto. Once they were on the beds, Maria stays by their side while Gabrielle keeps her eyes out for Pegasus from the window.

"Uhh," Seto grumbles.

"Gabs! He's awake!" Maria calls, standing next to Seto.

Seto looks up, his eyes slowly focusing on Maria. He looks into her hazel-blue eyes, relief and happiness reflect in her eyes. He slowly sits up and looks around.

"Are you alright?" Maria questions.

"Where's Mokuba?" Seto demands.

"Brother?" Mokuba calls.

Seto jumps out of his bed and goes to his brother's side. Mokuba smiles and hugs Seto, making Maria and Gabrielle smile.

"Looks like Pegasus kept up his end of the bargain," Gabrielle says.

"Thank you for helping my brother and I," Mokuba says, pulling away from Seto. "But, who are you?"

"I am Maria Davis and this is Gabrielle Rosalin," Maria introduces.

"Why did you help us?" Seto demands.

"Because it was the right thing to do, that creep had no right doing to you what he did," Maria tells him.

(Later, on the Jet ride back to Domino City)

"So Maria," Joey starts, seeing as it is way too quiet.

"Yea?"

"What are ya and Gabrielle gonna do since ya didn't get the prize money?"

"Hmm...I'm not sure."

"I suppose I can get a job somewhere," Gabrielle says. "I'm sure I can scrap up enough money to get us a small place to live."

"What are you guys talking about?" Mokuba questions.

Tea looks at the girls before answering, they give her a nod to explain before they both look out the window.

"Gabrielle and Maria are orphans," Tea explains. "They are in foster care in America and they aren't happy with the situation."

Mokuba and Seto look in shock, these two girls are orphans? The brothers look at one another, both knowing what it is like to have no place to really call home.
