(Maria's POV)

"You sure you are okay?" I ask my sister.

Right now the two of us are in my private room, I want to talk to my sister alone after what happened at the docks and now on the blimp. I am too worried for her to let her be alone now.

"I am fine," Gabs assurse me. "Why do I have to be here?"

"We can't have you passing out again, remember you are asthmatic and being up that high can mess with that."

"Right, I forgot."
"Of course you did."

We both start to laugh a bit, I slowly start to stop and I watch my sister. We have been at each other's side for eleven years and we tell each other everything. But since we moved in with Dad, it's changed.

"Hey Gabs?"

"Yea Mari?"

"Why did we stop telling each other stuff?" I ask.

"I...I don't know, I guess now we actually feel safe unlike before," Gabs says. "How bout we tell each other stuff now and keep one another updated."

"Okay, you start sis, what's going on? You and Yugi are hiding something," I say, crossing my arms. "I can tell there is something different with him each time he duels."

"Well...you see that is a bit complicated," Gabs stammers.

"Try me."

"Okay, how bout this, I tell you all bout Yami and Yugi, and in turn you tell me what is going on between you and Seto," Gabs suggests or more like bargens.

"W-what are you talkin bout?"

"Ha! That slang never comes out unless you're hidin something!"

"Gah! Fine, deal," I sigh. "So...Yami AND Yugi?"

"Remember when we talked bout mythical items?"

"Yea."

"That puzzle around his neck is such an items, just like my bracelet and that scepter Marik has."

I listen as Gabs explains everything that she knows about the puzzle, the scepter and the bracelet. It all sounds...surreal and cannot be true, however, what happened at the docks and just ten minutes ago...it is real. And the fact that my sister is in love with a 3,000 year old pharaoh? It is a lot to take in.

"Whoa, how long have you known?" I ask.

"A while now, Yugi and Yami asked me not to tell anyone," Gabs sighs. "I kinda just broke that, but you needed to know."

I can only nod, to think my sister has kept this hidden from me is kinda incredible, she is normally an open book. I lean back in my chair to process everything.

"Now, since I explained everything, it is your turn," Gabs smirks.

"I hate you sometimes," I sigh.

"Well~"

"It started on our third day of school, some guys were being major flirts towards me," I tell her. "I told them to back off but they wouldn't. I looked over to the side and I notice the look of pure rage on Seto's face. I didn't know why until he walked up to us and lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder."

"Wait, was that they day that Seto had the red mark on his cheek?"

"Yes, it was. Anyway, he was able to get the guys to leave me alone and we just...talked. I'm not sure why or how, but we sorta just click. He actually smiles when I am around, he has a sweet side that he really only shows to Mokuba."

"Whoa, Seto being sweet and smiling? Is the world ending?"

"Oh haha."

We both start to laugh, it feels nice to talk like this again it has been too long.

"So, has Seto asked you out yet?" Gabs asks.

"No, not yet," I answer.

"He needs to."

"Has Yami asked you out?"

"...No."

(The next day)

I wake up like usual and something doesn't feel right, I walk over to the door just as Roland is about to knock.

"Roland, is something wrong?" I ask.

"Yes there is, we need to get you and your sister to safety," Roland says.

"Sis? What's going on?" I hear Gabs ask.

"I have no idea."

We both follow Roland, and that is when I notice a small glowing. I turn to see Gab's bracelet is starting to glow, what the hell? Why is it glowing like that?

"Hey sis, why is your bracelet glowing?"

(Gabrielle's POV)

I look down at my bracelet to see it is glowing a bit, why is it glowing? The last time it did this is when Yugi and Yami were missing.

"Wait...Are the others missing!?" I demand.

"Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Serenity Wheeler, Duke Devlin, Tea Gardner, Yugi Muto and Seto and Mokuba are missing," Roland says. "We are not sure of where they are. This boy named Noah has taken over everything."

"My Queen," I hear.

We all turn to see Ishizu Ishtar coming over to us.

"My Queen, what happened to the Pharaoh?" She asks me.

"We are not sure, we will find him and the others soon. I promise," I say.

Wait, why am I answering to Queen? Why is she calling me Queen anyway? I see her nod and she walks back to her room.

"What are we going to do?" Roland asks.

"Maria, we may have to hack into this guy's systems," I say.

"Oh~ I love hacking!" Maria says.

"Are you sure you will be able to? He has control over everything," Roland says.

"Do not underestimate us, dad taught us everything we know," Mari and I say together.

Roland takes us to a private room where we cannot be tracked. We each take a seat at a computer and begin to hack into the guy's mainframe.

"I'm in!" Mari says. "Looks like this guy has them trapped in a virtual world."

"Again!?" Roland asks.

"Seems like it," I comment. "Roland, get us those helmets, we are going in to help."

Roland nods and grabs the helmets and gives them to us. We hook everything up and place them on our heads.

"Alright, see you in there sis," I hear Maria say.

"See ya in there."

(In the virtual world)

"Whoa!" I yell when I land.

"Look out!" I hear Mari yell.

I have no time to react as she plows right into me, knocking both of us to the ground.

"Ow..." Mari groans.

"Mari, this may not be 100% real, but you are still heavy."

"Are you calling me fat?"

"No sis, it's your metal arm," I say in reference to our fanfic.

Mari laughs as she gets up, she helps me to my feet and we look around. It looks like we are in a forest of some type.

"Alright, let's getting hunting," Mari says.

We both pull up our virtual map we equipped our virtual selves with. I notice that Yugi and Tea are together as are Mokuba and Seto. Currently, we are closest to Serenity, Joey, Tristan and Duke.

"You go after Seto and Mokuba, I'll get Tristan and the others," I say. "We will meet up and Yugi and Tea's location."

"On it, see you later," Mari says.

I watch as she opens a wormhole and jumps thru. Alright, time to save my friends!
