"Serenity!"

Yugi, Joey, and the others ran back to the penthouse as fast as they could but Serenity was gone.

"Oh my God they got her!"

"What do we do now?" asked Duke.

"Our only hope is to find Prince Vlad and destroy him before it's too late." said Pegasus.

"But we don't know where he is." said Tea.

"It doesn't matter, we need to save Serenity before she becomes the devil's concubine!" said Tristan.

Joey instantly ran down to the place where Mai was being held.

"Mai, Where is Prince Vlad?"

"I can't tell you Joey… I can't betray my master."

"Mai he has my sister!"

"He… He has Serenity?"

"Mai if you really love me you'll help me save my sister."

Mai hesitated.

"Him or me, take your pick." said Joey.

Mai looked like she was about to have a breakdown. Suddenly her eyes lost their scarlet color.

"Domino cemetery, south end… the crypt behind the five tombstones that make a pentagram."

Once Mai had told them they were all ready to leave, Tea was to stay with some of Pegasus' men at the penthouse who were going to protect Mai in case some of Prince Vlad's men came to punish her for revealing their master's location.

"Yugi, promise me you'll be careful."

Yugi knew she was worried because Atem was no longer with him.

"… I'll be fine Tea."

"Okay boys, I think it's time we brought in the heavy artillery." said Pegasus.

One of Pegasus' men opened the trunk of the car before they got in.

"Whoa!"

It was filled with really big guns and other weapons.

"Take your choice."

Joey chose an AA-12 shotgun, Duke took a flamethrower, and Tristan took an M76 sub machine gun, and Yugi took an AK-47, in addition as side weapons they all got a silver machete and a silver dagger both of which had been laced in garlic. All their guns were loaded with silver bullet with crucifixes carved into them, and had been laced in garlic.

They rode in Pegasus' limos through the raging storm to Domino Cemetery. Except for Pegasus' instructions it was a silent trip.

"Remember boys, most of the vampires are just innocent people who can be cured if we destroy Prince Vlad, if you have to shoot then shoot to wound, but if you run into the Prince then by all means go crazy… Oh and Yugi boy, you'll need these… burrow only."

Pegasus handed him an envelope with two cards inside.

"What are they?" he asked.

"Prince Vlad is a master of the Shadow Games and of dark magic, if he challenges you to a duel then these card will help you beat him."

They came to the cemetery and switched their lights on. When they came to the gate they saw an old man sitting at the foot of a crucifix reading a newspaper.

"Bout time you guys got here, them scary people in there are causing all kinds of hell." he said in a low voice.

They all made their way across the cemetery, keeping their eyes out for any of the vampires with their weapons at the ready.

"I don't like this place, it gives me the creeps." said one of Pegasus' men.

"Duh, we're in a cemetery at night, and it's raining." said Duke.

"Where did Mai say it was?" asked Tristan.

"South end, the crypt behind the five tombstones that make a pentagram."

It didn't take long to find the five graves, the held their weapons at the ready as Pegasus' men kicked down the door to the crypt. The slowly went down the stairs in single file. The old dusty crypt was illuminated only by the flashlights they carried. The crypt itself wasn't that big and it appeared that there was no one inside.

"Wait what's this?"

There was a huge hole in the side wall. They went inside and found themselves in another room.

"I think we've stumbled on a network of tunnels that haven't been used since the second world war." said Pegasus.

Somewhere deep in the tunnels Prince Vlad had returned to his lair carrying his bride to be. He laid her in his coffin and turned to face his minions.

"Come my children of the night, and witness the blood wedding…"

All the other vampires came out of the darkness.

"So what do we call her? Mrs. Dracula?" asked Keith.

Suddenly Prince Vlad felt something.

"Unwanted guests… My children, seek out and destroy them."

Yugi, Joey, and the others had to split up. Due to the many tunnels they were not sure where to look for Prince Vlad.

"Where are you? You blood sucking parasite!" yelled Joey.

"Sorry Weasel, but the master is a little busy right now."

"Bandit Keith? Get lost! I haven't got time for you!"

"Looking for your sister? Too bad. She's with my master, and soon she will be his blushing bride."

"That's not going to happen! Get out of my way!"

"Sorry dweeb, but if you want to get through you'll beat me in a duel."

"I don't have time for this!"

"I know, which is why if you want to save your sister you'll just have to beat me."

"Argh… No problem… I beat the hell out of you at Duelist Kingdom!"

"That's ancient history kid…"

They both activated their duel disks.

"Let's duel!"

"Lucky for you I can't use the Curse of Nosferatu because all my monsters are machines, not that I need it. First I play the spell card Fiend Sanctuary! This lets me summon a metal fiend token!"

(ATK: 0 DEF: 0)

"But it won't be staying around for long, because now I'm sacrificing it to summon Cannon Soldier MK-2 in attack mode!"

(ATK: 1900 DEF: 1200)

"Oh I'm so scared, it's a tin toy with guns on its back. It's nothing compared to this guy! I summon Panther Warrior!"

(ATK: 2000 DEF: 1600)

"He may have more attack point, but you forgot to read the fine print dweeb, you have to sacrifice a monster for him to attack."

"I know how my own card works Keith, now go ahead and make your move!"

"Very well, I play the spell card Scapegoat! This let's me summon four scapegoat tokens!"

(4x ATK: 0 DEF: 0)

"Now I'll activate the special ability of my Cannon Soldier MK-2! By sacrificing two monsters on my side of the field I inflict 1500 points of damage to you, and since I'm sacrificing four that means you lose 3000 life points!"

Keith's Cannon Soldier blasted Joey twice.

(Joey: 1000)

"Are you done yet? Good, because now I'll play my own Scapegoat and get four tokens of my own!"

(4x ATK: 0 DEF: 0)

"Now I'll sacrifice one of them so my Panther Warrior can attack!"

Joey's Panther warrior jumped at Keith and chopped his Cannon Soldier MK-2 in half."

(Keith: 3900)

"Minor setback dweeb."

Keith drew his next card.

"Yes! I play the spell card Polymerization! Now I'll use it to fuse the Barrel Dragon and Blowback Dragon cards in my hand so I can summon my Gatling Dragon!"

(ATK: 2600 DEF: 1200)

"Now I'll activate his special effect! Now I toss three coins in the air, and for every heads I get I can destroy one of your monsters!"

Keith tossed the three coins in the air.

"Well it looks like today's my lucky day. All three of them are heads, so that means three of your monsters are destroyed! Gatling Dragon wipe out his three remaining Scapegoat tokens!"

BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA

When the smoke cleared all three of Joey's scapegoat tokens had been destroyed.

"And that was just his special effect! Gatling Dragon destroy his Panther Warrior!"

BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA

(Joey: 400)

"I've got to find a way to turn this duel around. My sister is counting on me."

Joey drew his card.

"Thank you God! I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight!"

(ATK: 1800 DEF: 1600)

"But I'm not done yet! Now I activate the spell card Release Restraint! This frees Gearfried from his iron prison, revealing Gearfried the Swordmaster!"

(ATK: 2600 DEF: 2200)

"A lot of good that move is going to do you dweeb! Both of these monsters have the same attack points!"

"Who said I was going to attack? I'm using Gearfried's special ability! I equip him with my Ax of Despair! And whenever Gearfried is equipped with an equipment spell card I can automatically destroy one of your monsters!"

Keith's Gatling Dragon was sliced in half.

"And that's not all, I still haven't attacked yet and Ax of Despair increases Gearfried's attack strength by 1000!"

(ATK: 3600)

"Gearfried attack!"

(Keith: 300)

"I knew you were an amateur and now I going to show you why!"

Joey laughed, "Amateur? Didn't I just send your best monster to the scrap heap and even up the score?"

"You wish! I'll lay one card face down and summon one monster in defense mode!"

"It doesn't matter what mode his monster is in, my Swordmaster has more then enough attack points to send it to the junkyard." Joey thought.

"Gearfried attack!"

"Sorry dweeb, but my face down monster is Cyber Jar!"

"Oh great."

"Now all the monsters on the field are destroyed! That mean's your Gearfried!"

Joey's monster was sucked into the Cyber Jar before it exploded.

"Now we both pick up the top five cards from our decks, and any level four or lower monsters we pick up have to be summoned! I'll summon four monsters in defense mode!"

"I can't see what I'm attacking, so I better play it safe." thought Joey.

"I summon five monsters in defense mode!"

"Well this is going to be pretty boring if we're just playing defense cards all day, so I'll reveal my face down Machine King Prototype!"

(ATK: 1600 DEF: 1500)

"And now I'll sacrifice my face down Twin Barrel Dragon and my Mechanical Chaser to summon Perfect Machine King!"

(ATK: 2700 DEF: 1500)

"My Machine King Prototype gains 100 attack points for every machine on the field other then himself. And the same goes for my Perfect Machine King except that he gets 500 attack points for every machine!"

(Machine King Prototype: 1700)

(Perfect Machine King: 3200)

"Now I'll reveal my other face down monster, Mighty Guard!"

(ATK: 500 DEF: 1200)

"And now I activate the spell card Machine Duplication! This let's me summon two more Mighty Guards from my deck!"

(2x ATK: 500 DEF: 1200)

"Now my Machine Kings gain that many more attack points!"

(Machine King Prototype: 2000)

(Perfect Machine King: 4700)

Keith's machines destroyed two of Joey's monsters.

"I could send one of my monsters to destroy one of Keith's Mighty Guards… But then there is that face down card he played a couple of turns ago… Knowing Keith it's probably a trap. But I'm running out of time, I need to save my sister!"

Joey drew his card.

"Just what I needed! I reveal one of my face down monsters, my Red Eyes Black Chick!"

(ATK: 800 DEF: 500)

"Now I'll sacrifice him to summon my Red Eyes Black Dragon!"

(ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000)

"Perfect! The minute that dweeb attacks I'll destroy his monster with my Mirror Force trap. Then his remaining life points will be all mine."

"Now I activate the spell card Inferno Fire Blast!"

"What!?!"

"This spell card let's me inflict damage to your life points equal to the current attack of my Red Eyes Black Dragon!"

"No!!! I only have 300 life points left!!!"

"Red Eyes Black Dragon, Finish him off! Inferno Fire Blast!"

(Keith: 0)

For a moment Bandit Keith just stood there looking defeated.

"I may not have defeated you, but in that case I'll just have to kill you!"

Keith started to charge at Joey.

BANG!

Keith fell to the ground.

"YOU SHOT ME YOU BITCH!!!"

Joey had shot Keith in the leg with the G18 he had been carrying for days.

"Why didn't I just do that in the first place?" he thought to himself.

Before Joey left he checked the three coins that Keith had tossed during the duel. They were all two headed coins.

"I thought so."

Coming up next

The moment we've all been waiting for

Yugi vs. Prince Vlad!
