As the wind stopped and the sand was subsiding, the brown haired man could make out the sillhouette of a person dressed in a white cloak approaching him. As the figurecame closer it took its hood off.

Seto's eyes widened. "You?!"

A certain Egyptian woman smiled satisfied. "I'm glad you decided to accept my invitation."

"I wasn't aware I was invited by you." He told her roughly and turned his back to her to leave.

"May I know where are you going?" she asked pleasantly. "You can't leave you know. You'll get lost in the desert." She said when she didn't get any answer. Seto stopped walking and cursed under his breath. He turned around briskly to face her. He saw that more people approached. The geek squad, Marik, Graham and Kisara.

"You pretentious witch! You've been planning this from the beginning." He spoke angrily.

"Actualy, no, I planned this a few hours ago. It was the only way."
"What do you want from me? Just say it and leave me alone. Is it money? What?"

"All I want fro you is to listen to me."

Seto sighed exasperated. "I've listened to your stories a thousand times. I never believed them and I never will." He stated blankly.

"I know your distrustfull and analytical nature needs more tangible evidence to believe in something. And that's why you were brought here. Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress!" Ishizu yelled.

A monster appeared above the brunette. Kaiba huffed. "You think that with your cheap tricks you're gonna make me believe in all these crap you preach?" Suddenly, the monster attacked and cut a piece of Seto's arm. He groaned in pain.

"Do you find this more plausible?" asked Ishizu quirking an eyebrow.

Seto just stared at his bleeding arm and then at the monster. "How…"

"You haven't seen anything yet. Winged Dragon, attack!"

Seto saw the moster coming at him ready to kill him. In the hazy moments that followed he didn't understand many things except from dull noises and the fact that the Winged Dragon was destroyed by a white blast. He looked from where that blast came from. He almost knew it. The Blue Eyes had saved him one more time.

When he got a grip on reality again, he saw Ishizu benting down clutching at her chest, the geeks staring at Kisara who looked almost as if she was hypnotised.

"Try to relax, Kisara." Marik told her holding her shoulders. Then Ishizu got to her and whispered something to her ear. The pale girl seemed to calm down. The dragon landed on the ground before them.

Seto just looked at it, breathing heavily. There was only one way left to know. He walked to the beast and touched it.


Author's notes: I guess it's a unusually short chap from me, but I wanted to make this piece separate from the next. Once again I remind you that I know nothing about duel monsters. I don't know the powers and attack of the Winged Dragon, I only used it because it was one of Isis' monsters in an episode from the Dawn of the Duel series.
