I hope you all like chapter 18. Sorry for the wait.

Chapter 18

Victory

Friday Night

Pegasus's Castle

Tea's life points are now 3500. Atem has 1500 life points. Atem has no cards on the field. Tea has one card face down and also her strong monster, Pure White Witch. "Pharaoh I believe it's your move." Said Tea. Atem nods his head. Atem looks down at the cards and gulps. Okay come on heart of the cards. Thought Atem. Atem picks up a card. "I place this card face down." Said Atem. He places the card on the field. "And that ends my turn." Said Atem. "Is that all you got!" Shouted Tea. Tea crosses her arms. "If so this will be easier than I thought. Now Pure White Witch attack the rest of Atem's life points!" Shouted Tea. Atem smirked when he heard the attack, but Tea did not catch it. There was a lot of smoke so Tea could not see his face. "This duel is over pharaoh!" Shouted Tea. She then heard some laughter on the other side of the arena. "What how is it that you are still here?" Asked Tea. "Tea do you remember my Kuriboh?" Asked Atem. Tea gasp and realize that Kuriboh had protected Atem's life points. I really use to think that thing was so cute. Thought Tea. Tea looks to see a lot of Kuriboh's on the field. Okay I admit that they are cute. Thought Tea.

On the side lines of the duel. Merick, Odion, and Bakura showed up with Tom and Serenity under control of Merick's Millennium Items. Seth turns to see them. "Hey you found the two friends of Tea." Said Seth. Everyone except Tea and Atem turn to the people entering the room. "Yeah it turns out that they were trying to rescue the others." Said Odion. "So Tea was trying to rescue without the pharaoh knowing?" Asked Pegasus. Merick shook his head. "No. It was these two who came at their own will." Said Merick. "You are going to let them go from your mind control." Said Pegasus. Merick nods his head. Merick move his Millennium Rod over Tom and Serenity. Their eyes return to normal and shake their heads as if they were asleep.

In the duel Tea had tried to wipe out Atem's life points, but Atem protected his life points with Kuriboh. I should have known that it would be impossible to wipe out Atem. Thought Tea. Atem started to draw his next card. But I have to beat him and have him set my friends free and not just that there is something important he needs to know. So losing is not an option. Thought Tea. Tea looks in the corner of her eye and gasp. "Tom, Serenity!" Shouted Tea. "Tea!" Shouted Tom and Serenity. "I told you guys to stay out of sight!" Shouted Tea. "I'm sorry it's my fault Tea." Said Tom. Tom head is hung low and then he lifts his head looking into Tea's ocean blue eyes that were filled with worry. "We try to rescue our friends, but we were caught." Said Tom. Tea turns from Tom to Atem. "Pharaoh let them go. This is between you and me." Said Tea. "Tea, they try to rescue the others that you bid on and if they had rescue them you would of try to escape." Said Atem. "I would of not try to escape I would of stay." Said Tea. "Well here's a new deal if you win I will release all your friends." Said Atem. "Deal." Said Tea.

On the sidelines Tom and Serenity watch as Tea made that deal. "This is my fault I should of stay in the hiding spot. I'm sorry I drag you into this." Said Tom. Serenity smile and look up at Tom. "It's fine Tom. I understand you wanted to help out your girlfriend." Said Serenity. "Tea has a boyfriend." Said Bakura to Merick. "That's interesting." Said Pegasus.

Tea looks up at Atem. "Pharaoh it's your turn." Said Tea. Atem gave a little smirk. "I play my Summon Skull and since my Kuriboh is on the field I transfer its power to Summon Skull." Said Atem. Summon Skulls attack points go up by 2800. "Your Summon Skull still has less life points than my Pure White Witch." Said Tea. "Yes it does, but it's just enough to summon a powerful monster." Said Atem. "What powerful-Oh no!" Shouted Tea. "I guess you know then. I sacrifice my Summon Skull to bring forth the Winged Dragon of Ra." Said Atem. Oh great I'm toast. Thought Tea. No your not. Said a voice inside Tea's head. Tea then saw that the arena disappears before her.

Tea looks around at her surroundings. The three females who had confronted her, Tom, and Serenity in the cave stood before her. "Where am I?" Asked Tea. "This is your mind and we had to call you." Said one of the three. "What can I do? I mean he just call out his most powerful monster." Said Tea. "Teana, you can beat him." Said one of the three. "How?" Asked Tea. "Trust in yourself. The card that will help you win is in your deck. So don't give up hope." Said one of the three. "Right." Said Tea. "So go and win this duel." Said one of the three. "Thank you." Said Tea. She vanishes from her mind. It looks like the pharaoh is holding back a bit. One of the three said telepathy. Yeah my guess is he must really like Teana. Said another one of the three telepathy.

Tea blinks a couple of times and realizes that she was in a duel against Atem. "Tea are you okay?" Asked Atem. He notices that Tea was looking out into space. "Just fine." Said Tea. "Now Winged Dragon of Ra attack Pure White Witch and the rest Of Tea's life points!" Shouted Atem. The Winged Dragon of Ra blew an energy towards Tea. "This duel is over." Said Atem. He then gasp when he saw that Tea was had 500 life points. "That should have taken out your life points." Said Atem. Tea smile at Atem. "Thanks to my card redemption. You took out most of my life points but not all of it." Said Tea. "Now I believe it's my turn." Said Tea. Okay here I go. Thought Tea. She took a deep breath and pick up a card. Brain Control what is so good about this card? Thought Tea. Teana don't give up hope you can control the pharaoh's monster. Said the voice. There is no way I can do that only people who speak Egyptian can do that. Thought Tea. Teana you can speak it just look deep inside yourself. Now lay that card down. It will only work for one turn of course. Said the voice. Alright here goes something. Thought Tea. "I play Brain Control and I choose to control the Winged Dragon of Ra." Said Tea. Atem gasp along with everyone in the room.

On the side line the bearers, former bearers, and Odion look at the duel in shock. "Is she serious?" Asked Merick. "The only way she can do that is that she learned Egyptian or that was here last move." Said Odion. "When I last saw her she couldn't duel very well. In fact she was just a plain cheerleader." Said Bakura. "You should never underestimate Tea!" Yelled Tom. "That's right!" Shouted Serenity. "Tea is way stronger than you all think." Said Tom.

Why play that card? Unless she must be like Kiaba. She must have some sort of Anceint past. There is no way that she would make a bold move like that. Thought Atem. Atem's Dragon of Ra switch to Tea's side. Tea read the description on the card and gasp. Hey I can read this. I can understand this perfectly. Thought Tea. She read the words and the card lit up. "Now Dragon of Ra attack the rest of pharaoh's life points!" Shouted Tea. The attack came and Atem's life points went down to zero. "Pharaoh I won this duel. This duel is now over." Said Tea.
