"What?" Amerin exclaimed.

"Father!" Ankah cried.

"You cannot be serious!" Atem exclaimed.

"Oh I am. Guards! Get them out of here! Get them out of here now!" Pharaoh thundered. Tea watched stunned as guards came running at them, and of course Joey and Tristan took the offensive. Tristan was using his spear, thankfully not the lethal side, and Joey was going at them with fist and feet. Suddenly, strong arms grabbed Tea in a choke hold, and after letting out a small 'eep' the fighting stalled.

"Everyone just calm down." The voice murmured, and Tea found a huge guard holding her. "Now, Jameeme, Astar, get those two servants, Carlile and Sopen, get the wife and daughter. Quick and efficient, now." The guard ordered, and the five were filed out.

"Father. Bring them back! They speak the truth." Atem thundered as they exited the dining hall. Tea couldn't understand what was happening. They had shown Atem his world was false, and he'd believed them, so why wasn't the world collapsing?

"Help! Atem!" She shouted helplessly, and was silenced with a choke hold.

"Shut it."

"Made quite a show back there. Wasn't nice of you." One of the guards commented, and the others nodded. The five were all taken into separate cells, and Tea hung onto the cell bars like her life depended on it. She was in jail. Tea Gardner did not go to jail! She never, ever went to jail. She started hyperventilating, and then she pushed herself of the bars to slink down against the back walls. She was shocked. How could she be in jail? How could Pharaoh not have believed her? And even with Amerin's Gift, how could Pharaoh not see the light? She looked ahead blankly, staring into the nothingness that was before her. How could she be- and with no help- and how was she going to- WHAT WAS SHE GOING TO DO?

Tea stared ahead blankly, holding her hand to her chest in shock. Her fingers brushed the necklace around her throat lightly, and she was startled out of her thoughts.

In case of great dire, use this jewel and the trouble won't seem as big as it once was.

The fairy's words whispered in her head, the promise echoing over and over.

"In case of great dire..." She whispered, thinking jail time was as great the dire would get. And even besides that, Pharaoh didn't believe her, no one would, Noah would win.

He would win.

Tea couldn't let that happen. She had failed to remind Yugi, she had reminded Joey, Tristan, and Atem thankfully, but Noah was going to win anyway. She couldn't let that happen. She didn't know how she was supposed to use the necklace, it was kinda stuck around her neck after all, and that fairy didn't give her instructions on how to use the thing anyway! Tea twirled the star in fingers, twisting it back and forth.

"I wish we were out of this dungeon, and I wish everyone could remember. I wish they could remember what's real, and what Noah lied about. I wish...Noah couldn't control my friends and everyone else he stole from Earth." Tea whispered, closing her eyes and clasping the heart in her hand.

The thing started to glow, and burn her fingers, and once Tea ripped her fingers away from it a red beam shot out from it, swirling in the confines of her cell and then blinding everything. Tea shot her hands up to cover her eyes, and once the beam disappeared the cell was gone, and she was standing up in a grassy meadow, miles and miles of populations all around her. Everyone was yelling, shouting out the vileness of Noah Kaiba.

"Noah! Let us out!" They were all yelling.

"You're evil Noah!"

"Let us out!"

"Let us out!"

Tea closed her eyes, and felt the little star around her neck about to dissipate and disappear forever. She needed one last wish, a small, unselfish wish.

"I wish all my family and friends were free. I wish the friends I haven't met yet can escape. Set them free." She whispered sadly, and the star complied. Another beam was shot, the last of its energy. Everyone around her started dematerializing, and then she was suddenly alone on the grassy plain.

"What did you do?" A voice thundered, and Noah was suddenly in front of her.

"Let's make a deal." She said instead.

"And why would I do that?" Noah demanded with a taunt.

"Because, you don't need all of them. The biggest threats you have are all my friends, even if Kaiba won't admit it. I hold all my friends together, and you know that. I make sure everyone sticks together, and I make sure we stay friends. You know without me everything would fall apart. Leave them all alone. Keep me here instead."

"My, my." He chuckled.

Tea had explained to the best of her ability. She knew this would mean never going back home, never seeing her friends, but they were all safe now. She had won, even if the price was costly. But she knew she had done what Yugi would have, if he had remembered. She knew doing it this way would mean everyone was safe. If they had all escaped, Noah would have come after them. But leaving him with a prize after his 'hard work' would protect everybody else.

"My, my." He repeated. "You do know what you're doing, right? If you stay, you swear an oath of loyalty to me, and you must never leave until I permit you. Which will be never!" He laughed. Tea swallowed. She knew she had to do it.

For Yugi.

For Tristan.

For Joey.

Serenity.

Mai.

Grandpa Muto.

Her history teacher.

Her parents.

For Earth.

"I know." She whispered.
