"Noah can't be back, he was lost in cyberspace! Never to return. What- How can he- Are you sure? He- really?" Tea stammered out.

"You say lost, I say he's still kicking." Mr. Saew replied, pushing his black hair away from his face.

"Noah is not an ordinary foe, he planned for his demise just as he planned for victory. There was an escape route just in case, and the 'in case' happened." Rek said softly.

"So...Noah has been doing this? How?" Tea demanded, crossing her arms. Wen sighed.

"He regrouped in cyberspace, and after accessing some information he needn't know, he created another virtual world for himself. He became lonely, that I believe, and then accessed a cyber beam he modified to bring physical objects into his virtual realm. We've been tracking his movements for months now, and he seems to be trying to recreate the real world in his cyberspace. He's tacking everybody out of the real world to brainwash them in his and then he lets them believe he is the ultimate ruler there, so everybody loves him and does as he commands. Tristan is there, and so is...Joey."

"What?" Tea demanded with a shout. "How? When?"

"Shortly after our dance practice." Rek sighed sadly. "I cannot tell you how sorry I am about that."

"How are we getting everyone back?" Tea demanded, bringing everyone to the most important topic up for discussion.

"'We'? Not we Tea, my family and I, you mustn't endanger yourself." Mr. Saew said gently.

"'Endanger myself'?" Tea repeated with disbelief. "My whole life it seems is about endangering myself! I've been trapped in Noah's world before! I've been brain washed, and I dealt with soul snatchers. I put myself in dangerous situations all the time! If my friends have been snatched by Noah, then by all means let me endanger myself it means I get my friends back!" Tea vented. Suddenly the three Saew burst our laughing. "This is not funny!" Tea yelled.

"Oh I know, Miss Tea, but it just is!" Mr. Saew laughed. "You are exactly as my wife predicted! She is like your Ishizu, she can tell the future when it involves our charges, and when Noah captured our young Magician, his business became ours." He finished darkly.

"He took one of the Duel Monsters?" Tea asked quietly.

"The youngest of the magicians." He sighed. "And we knew we couldn't let him continue. We knew the population had begun diminishing at an astonishing rate, but we attempt to avoid interfering in the Time Line unless absolutely necessary. He took one of ours, I do believe that gives us permission to fight back."

"So, what are we going to do?" Tea finally asked.

"The only way to beat Noah is to let him Take us, but we would prefer not to let that happen." Wen broke in.

"Then let me go in." Tea found herself deciding.

"Miss Tea, we won't that you do that." Mr. Saew replied, the warning in his voice apparent to the young girl.

"If that's the only way, then I need to get Taken." She insisted.

"That isn't a good idea. Especially now, no one should willingly be Taken on their own. If you went, someone must come with you for protection and back up against Noah." Mr. Saew lightly relented.

"I'll get Yugi to go with me." Tea said firmly. Rek gave a soft gasp, and Tea turned to watch Rek's eyes glaze over as her face slacked in a trance. "What-"

"Shh!" The male Saew's hushed her.

"He has been taken. We are the last defence here in Domino City." Rek's voice whispered out, and Tea felt herself go cold.

"Who's been Taken, Rek? Who?" Tea demanded shaking the Egyptian's shoulders. The girl blinked and looked at Tea with an omious emotion. "What Rek, who?"
"The last defense, Yugi is gone."

"G-Gone? You mean he left the city?" Tea grasped hopefully. The Egyptian shook her head. "Taken?" Tea whispered quietly. Rek nodded solomnly.

"We are the last in Domino City, the rest of the population resides in Noah's world."

"We have to get him back! We have to get them all back!"

"We will try." Mr. Saew said solomnly.

"We will not try. We will get them back, got that? And we're getting them back today." Tea sadi authoritatively.

"Quite the charmer, isn't she Father?" Rek giggled.

"She's got a future, that's for sure." Wen chuckled.

"This is not funny! We have to figure out a plan! We have to get everyone back, and now."

"We will, Miss Tea, we will. But not today I am afraid. We must get a plan decided upon, please join us at the house?" Mr. Saew invited, gesturing up the path at a huge yellow bricked mansion.

"That's your house?" Tea asked, her jaw dropping to the floor.

"It does the job." Rek replied, and headed up toward the house. Opening the door, Rek was attacked by a girl who looked exactly like Dark Magician Girl.

"He doesn't care!" The girl was crying.

"What's wrong, MG? Who did what?" Rek tried to comfort.

"DM! He doesn't care about me! He doesn't!" MG sobbed. Rek patted the girl's back with a smypathetic face.

"He doesn't deserve you, he doesn't." Rek told the sobbing girl. "DM would be lucky to have a girl like you, and if he doesn't see that then he's not for you." Looking over MG's shoulder Rek faced Tea. "Hey, MG, could you pull yourself together to say hi to our guest?" MG sniffeled and rubbed her nose and looked at Tea with red eyes.

"Hi, I'm MG, short for Dark Magician Girl. He doesn't love me!" She sobbed again, and threw herself into Tea's embrace. Over MG's sobbing Tea heard Rek shout, "She's in love with DM, The Dark Magician, and he doesn't even know that!"

"Ah." Tea nodded wisely, patting MG's back. "Hey, MG, shh, it's going to be okay, all right? How about we fix you up and set you up on a blind date with that dumb magician? We'll dress you up in a beautiful dress, do your make up, and then dumb DM won't be able to take his eyes off you, does that sound like fun?" Tea had had her share of dumbies not noticing her and her love, and if she could help a fellow idiot lover, then she would.

"That sounds like fun." MG sniffled, wiping her nose and pushing off Tea. "Okay."

"When do you want to have the blind date?" Tea asked encouragingly. MG sniffled again.

"Tonight?" She asked weakly. Tea froze. She was planning to rescue her friends tonight, but MG needed her help...but Yugi, and Joey, and Tristan were trapped in Noah's world, and she had to save them!

"Okay." Tea heard herself sigh.

"Oh thank you! Thank you!" MG squeeled, and hugged the dancer to the point Tea's ribs would crack.

"Okay! Okay! All right!"

"Oh thank you! What color should I dress in? And my lipstick, does orange lipstick go with a red dress?"

"We'll see, MG, all right?" Tea replied, shuddering at the thought of orange lipstick on the blond magician.

"Okay!" MG said cheerfully, and ran up the side spiral staircase near the end of the front hallway.

"What did I just get myself into?" Tea wondered aloud.

"You never know when it comes to MG."
