Hey peeps, I am back because I am going to continue where I left off from last chapter because it left you questioning what would end up happening next. So, I give you what happened with the guys. Enjoy at your own risk. Lol

Thanks for the reviews:

Autobot00001 - Yeah thanks. I just got too lazy to write. Plus, I had work.

white pedal - Duke has many secrets, but he knows what he saw. Duh...

Sunrise Phoenix - Yep, I added in a small Hangover reference just because. But, what happened at the casino underground. That is what you will find out about RIGHT NOW!

The Rainwalker - I try my best to keep it good. The lemons, I am still doing my best working on them. Even though it isn't "me" per say, but I bring people what they want to read.

DISCLAIMER!

I OWN NOTHING! I only own the OC's in the story!

~ LAST NIGHT ~

Tristan, Atem, and Duke went through the door that the long case of stairs brought to them and what they see was an underground casino. Atem and Tristan were speechless, at a loss for words seeing the games that the casino had to offer. A roulette table, numerous slot machines, small booths for bets, blackjack stations, and a fountain in the middle of the entire place. Duke stopped Atem and Tristan from going any further.

"Before we do anything, you guys have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about this place. Not even to your wives." Atem and Tristan looked at each other and turned back to Duke.

"We promise Duke." Atem told him.

"Yeah. You can totally trust us man." Tristan added.

"Good." When the trio began to play in the casino, a woman with long black hair came up to them as she had a playboy bunny outfit on carrying a plate of shot glasses full of Chardonnay. She gave them a seductive look wanting them to drink.

"Excuse me gentleman, but would you care for a shot?" The woman tried to talk them into having a drink. Atem turned one down for the time being. However, Duke and Tristan decided to have a drink.

"Come on Atem, live a little. We're trying to help you have a good time." Duke wrapped his arm around his shoulder with shot glass in hand.

"I know, but I want to be sober enough just to play these casino games." Tristan sipped his drink starting to feel a little tipsy.

"Fine. Where should we start?" Atem looked around and walked towards the blackjack table. He took his seat as the dealer began to throw cards to the players and Atem.

"How much do you wager?"

"What's the lowest amount that I CAN wager?" Atem asked.

"Ten dollars are the lowest amount to bet." Atem placed said amount on the table and got back two poker chips for the wager. The dealer drew playing cards and tossed two cards to Atem and each of the other players around the table. Atem looks at his cards and has the Queen of Hearts and the Jack of Spades. Atem was handed a bad hand at first, but he wanted to set his hand to lady luck.

"Hit or Stay?" The Dealer asked. Atem wanted to push his luck if he wanted another card from the dealer. Tristan told him to live it up tonight on his Bachelor Party, so Atem went for it.

"Hit me!" Atem had a determined look on his face as the dealer drew a card from the deck. Atem closed his eyes for a few seconds, opened them up again and it revealed the Ace of Spades. "I shall stay."

"Alright..." The dealer drew cards for the other players and only a few of them went over their goal amount and got a BUST. It was only Atem and a shaded man in a black hood. "Okay, show what you got, gentleman."

"20!" The hooded man showed he had a Nine of Diamonds, Three of Spades, and the Eight of Spades.

"Sorry, but I won. 21!" Atem flipped over his card showing he had 21 in total as he was given his total winning amount.

"Play me once more." The Hooded Man and Atem kept on going playing Blackjack. The hooded man kept wagering chips as Atem kept on beating him with sheer luck. Duke and Tristan saw as he earned the winnings from Blackjack little by little as they kept drinking their Chardonnay glasses from the Playboy Bunnies. Atem went from Ten Dollars to $500 and counting. The game lasted for about an hour and the Hooded Man kept on wagering money from straight out of his pocket as he kept losing while Atem kept winning hands by having the greater amount than him or hits 21 on his amount.

"ENOUGH!" The Hooded Man slammed his hands on the table. "You must be cheating having to win every game against me!"

"How am I cheating?" Atem stood up and one of the bouncers went up to him and searched his entire body. The bouncer checked his jacket, pockets, and to search for anything that may have had Atem cheating the whole time. Atem sat back down as the bouncer found nothing as he was being a fair player.

"This is pure bullshit!" The hooded man flips the Blackjack table, faces Atem, and pulls out two pistols out from his inner hood pockets. Everybody screamed and got down to the floor pointing the guns at Atem.

"Whoa! How did he sneak a gun in here?!" Tristan asked.

"I am taking those winnings, and unless you want to stay alive, I suggest you hand over those winning poker chips to me so I can cash them." Atem heard what he said, but he began thinking to himself.

'Wait a minute, why do I know that voice from somewhere? It sounds so familiar.'

"Atem! What are you thinking man? Just give him the chips so you won't die!" Tristan was tipsy, but wasn't too drunk. He didn't want to see one of his friends die, especially this close to his wedding day.

"Atem..." The Hooded Man heard Tristan say his name. "I would say it's been nice knowing you." The man prepared to shoot as his gun clicked. "But, I would be lying!"

"How would you know that?" Atem asked. "How would you know me if you and I never really met?" The Hooded man began to sweat. "Alright, its time that you show yourself! Show us what you are hiding under that hood! Marik!" The Hooded man took of his hood and showed that it actually was Marik. He had an eyepatch on his left eye when Akio shot it and lost sight from it.

"What?! I heard that guy got locked up in prison!" Duke yelled. Marik shot his pistol towards Duke to shut him up. Duke felt a shock from the impact near the bullet hole. Duke was lucky he didn't get shot. Marik continued to explain.

"Your friend is right! I was locked up in prison. Or at least that's what I wanted everyone to think. Before I was sent to Jail, Akio had me in a holding cell with another blonde just like me. Sure it was difficult to try to change hairstyles, but it was worth it because he was sent to prison in my place and the guy I was in that holding cell with was just your average drunk. To put it in retrospect, your friend Akio sent the wrong guy to Prison."

"Someone stop him!" one person yelled. Everyone else began murmuring in fear. Marik became irritated and shot another bullet in the air. The casino grew silent yet again.

"Atem, I am taking my winnings and leaving while you are going to stay right there and watch me leave with it." Marik pointed a gun at Atem in one hand as he grabbed a bag and put in the poker chips. As he finished, he carried the bag towards the cash-in booth. But before he could do so, a bullet was shot onto Marik's arm, dropping his pistol in the process. Marik turned around and saw a guy with long navy hair, ruby eyes, and wore nothing but black clothes.

"What?!" Atem took advantage of the distraction and ran towards Marik, snatching his gun. Marik pulled out his other gun and pointed it at Atem's head. Atem stopped in his tracks when he pointed the gun at Marik's heart. Both men were at a stalemate as they both kept their eyes on each other.

"Looks like one of us will be leaving this place alive." Marik cocked his gun and was about to shoot. Another shot was fired at Marik's arm again and Marik fell to the floor holding his arm keeping the blood from pouring out. The Navy-haired Man dashed to Marik and handcuffed him behind his back. Atem got up from the floor as Tristan and Duke got up after the man.

"As you were, everyone!" The people inside the underground casino got back up from the floor and resumed what they were doing. The bouncer escorted The man and Marik out of the Casino. Atem, Duke, and Tristan continued to follow him as they were back upstairs on the club floor. The group was back outside as he put Marik inside a police car and locked the doors from the inside. The trio managed to catch up with him as he wanted to give thanks.

"I just want to thank you for saving my life back there." Atem said calmly.

"It's no problem. After all..." He took off his navy hair revealing it was a wig. The man removed contacts from his eyes, revealing it was Akio in disguise. "I HAVE dealt with guys like him before."

"Akio?" Atem was in shock.

"How did you know where to find that guy?" Duke asked. "More importantly, how were you able to go downstairs?"

"Simple, really. But, I better tell it in a way you can understand." Akio explained. "When I found out from my boss that Marik wasn't put in prison and I sent the wrong guy, I had to go out and search for him on my own. When I released Marik, who I thought was the drunk, I put a tag on him if he tried anything. Once it went off, I swooped down to his location and kept an eye on him. When the tag went off again, it led me to this place." Akio pointed at the club. "When I saw you guys, I thought that he lured you into a trap. Marik thinks he got away from me, but he was dead wrong. I caught him, shot his arm, and this time he is going straight for the big house." Akio gets into his cop car and starts it up. "I gotta take him to the prison. You guys have a good night." Akio drives off as Marik squirm in the back trying to get out, but fails to.

"Now that all this crazy crap is over, let's get back to your party." Tristan told Atem.

"Yeah, let's go get drunk!" Duke and Tristan dragged Atem into the car and drove off to the nearest bar.

~ NOW ~

"8 Wine bottles of shot glasses later, all three of us were completely drunk out of our minds." Duke explained. "Atem and Tristan were lucky I was able to stay sober enough to get us to a hotel room for a night. The next morning, you guys pushed me off my bed and well, here we are."

"Well, now that you cleared that up..." Téa grinned. "I guess I can forgive you. Now that Marik is locked up for good this time, I don't have to keep being taken away by him."

"If he ever tries to, I'll be right here." Atem nuzzled her neck as she giggled a bit.

"Okay, how about some breakfast so we can put all of this behind us?" Tristan asked and everyone was on board for that idea. Serenity was the first to get up, but then she felt water trickle down her legs and bent down. Tristan caught her and held her up.

"Serenity, you alright?"

"No..." she said as she ached in pain. "My water just broke. The baby's coming." Everyone just got up out of their seats and wanted to help her in any way.

"Okay, Duke, help me get her to the car. Atem and Téa, get Serenity's baby bag upstairs." Everyone did what Tristan told them. Duke helped Tristan get Serenity to the car. Atem grabbed the baby bag, tossed it to Téa and rushed down to the car. Duke had the keys as he started the car. Tristan, Serenity, and Téa took the back seat while Atem rode in front with Duke. Duke drove steady as Serenity began to feel contractions.

Chapter concluded! Well, this chapter is about to wrap up quite nicely, sorta. But, at least we got rid of Marik, again, for the last time, hopefully. But, Serenity is about to have her child in the next chapter! Wanna know what happens? Just leave your reviews and I will tell you in the next chapter and you do not wanna miss it. See You Next Time!
