A/N: DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING, ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS! Okay now that's over.. I will be copying the duels, but some all of it and some the beginning and the ending and I put a line and tell you which ones... okay I think that is it... Enjoy!

We were all in Mai's car and to be able to fit in the car, Yugi and I had to share on seat of the car and a seat belt. Which wasn't difficult since we were both small, but the hard part was, I was starting to fall asleep. I snuggled closer to Yugi and leaned my head on his chest. I was so tired from telling everyone my demigod life/past, and it took a while to prove it too, Duke and Serenity believed almost instantly, and to convince Mai, I uncapped Riptide, let's just say they all believe me now. I was happy because they still considered me a friend and Mai said "Your like my very short sister, I'll always accept ya!" That was the main reason I was tired. I closed my eyes and started to drift into a sleep when I heard some snickers.

"Comfortable there Yuge?" I heard Joey snicker.

"I..Uh.. I-I'm" Yugi stuttered. "k-kin-d-d of..."

"She must be exsausted!"Serenity exclaimed, which made me moan tiredly and open my open groggy. I immendently saw Yugi's violent eyes, and sent him a tired smile. Yugi smiled back at me. "You can go back to sleep..." Yugi said. "assuming we aren't far..."-he looked at Mai through the review mirror.-"Hey Mai, are we close yet?"

"Yeah," Mai said, then smiled a teasing smile. "eager for me to crush you and Joey?"

"OI!" Joey shouted. "We'll see who'll beat who!"

I jumped a bit more alert and unknowingly scooted closer to Yugi and grabbed his hand. "Okay," I muttered. "I'm awake now... kind of anyway..."

"Hey Percy," Yugi said and I looked at him rubbing my eyes with my free hand, trying to remove the sleepiness, which was slightly working. "where ever we go to stay in, you can stay with me..."-Yugi's cheek were lightly dusted with a shade of pink.-"if you want too..."

"Yeah," I mumbled tiredly, and sent him one of my 'dazzling smiles' as Nico once put it. "that would be great. I can't wait to watch you win the Battle City Finals Yugi."

Yugi smiled back and laced our fingers together, which made my heart sped up greatly. I looked into his violet eyes and he stared into mine, violet to sea green.

"Hey Lovebirds!" Joey shouted, making us jump and look away from each other, blushing horribly, but not letting go of each other's hands. "Not that I wanted to ruin the moment or anything, but like I said we'll see who beats who!"

"I'm sure you and Mai will be tough to beat Joey." Yugi reassured.

"You better believe I will be," Mai commented looking at us from the review mirror. "but Joey? Not so much..."

Joey got an anime anger mark on his head on his fists. "We'll see Mai!" Joey said anger obvious in his tone.

I laughed and shook my head in amusement. I felt Yugi start playing with my fingers and I got an odd feeling in my stomach and my heart sped up. Okay, I don't know if I should like the feeling of liking Yugi and Yami or not... It's starting distract me...

About ten minutes later of Joey, Tea, and Yugi all reciting directions, the car finally came to a stop.

"The direction we got form Joey's duel disk says that," Yugi said. "Kaiba Corp's stadium is about two blocks from here."

I hopped out and stretched and immedently colasped to the ground, my legs were asleep.

"Ah Percy!" Tea exclaimed, getting out and helping me up. "Are you alright?"

I laughed nervously, trying to avoid Yugi's concerned gaze. "I guess I didn't notice my legs were asleep," I laughed nervously again. "One reason I hate ADHD."

(A/N: I'm not sure if that is what something ADHD does to some people, because I don't have it... I just thought this part would be funny!)

Joey laughed, once he stopped he looked at the car than to Mai. "So why are we parked all the way over here in no mans land, Mai?"

"So when the finals are over," Mai replied. "we won't get stuck in traffic!"

Joey threw out and a fist and I walked to stand by Yugi. "Yeah, good thinking!" Joey complemented. "Now let's get over there and see you who made it to the finals!"

Yugi nodded and grabbed my hand as we began walking in front of Joey, Mai, and Serenity. We all chattered about various type things, but they were particularly interested in my demigod life/past. I answered their questions and I smiled at their shocked faces and walked closer to Yugi, swinging our hands back and forth making him laugh and me giggle. We all turned back once we finally noticed they were lagging behind.

Then suddenly a limo came bursting through the wall, and we all screamed in surprise and Mai sprinted forward, right into Joey...

"You got to be kidding driving like that!" Joey said. "Who does he think he is?"

Mai and Joey looked at each other and separated with a gasp, there was two different reactions though. Mai stared at Joey with a blush on her face and Joey ran to the limo angrily.

Joey shook his head. "Look pal, around here..." Joey started but stopped once the limo door opened fully.

The guy stepped out and was wearing all white like he was going to a wedding. "Sorry kid," the man said. "I hope my entrance didn't scare ya."

The guy took of his sunglasses and Joey's anger melted into confusion. "Hey isn't that the same guy in the poster?" Serenity commented.

The Joey's eyes widened and he let out a scream, like a fan girl scream, just not high-pitched. "Ah!" Joey screamed, then began to stutter. "But-I-You-Him-Wha? It's you, Jean-Claude Magnum!(Jean is pronounced like 'John' for the ones who haven't seen this duel.) I'm your number one fan! Maybe you've heard of me? I'm kind of a celebrity myself, you know, second place, Duelist Kingdom?"

I covered my mouth with my free hand to keep me from laughing when I saw the look on Joey's face after Jean-Claude Magnum just walked right past him.

Magnum approached Mai. "Long time no see Sugar." Magnum smirked.

"Huh?" Mai said confused.

Magnum got red roses out of no where and offered them to Mai. "Don't you see I've come back for ya Mai," Magnum said. "just like you told me to."

"Sorry Slick," Mai said. "but you've got the wrong girl."

Joey gasped and rushed over to Mai and some giggles escaped through my hand. "You mean to tell me," Joey said. "your pals with Hollywood's ninths biggest box office draw?"

"I've never seen him before." Mai deadpanned.

"Mai, Sugar," Magnum exclaimed holding his head for dramatic effect. "have you forgot the offer you made me exactly one year ago?"

I vaguely remembered some type of proposal that Magnum made to Mai and Mai refusing. "What offer?" Mai asked still confused.

Magnum removed the hand from his head. "It was an offer of love Mai." Magnum stated.

"Oh." Mai said. "I guess it's too late to say I was kidding, huh?"

Magnum brought the ring and Mai gasped. "I've come here today to make you the luckiest girl in the entire world," Magnum said. "Mrs. Jean-Claude Magnum."

"Ah great," I groaned face palming myself. "another egotistical, sexist, stereotype, male!"

"Uh..." Duke trailed off. "What?..."

I removed my hand and waved him off and focused back at Mai, who eyed the ring oddly, and turned the other way. "Sorry," she stated. "Ninja Boy but I'm not interested."

Joey placed his hands on her shoulders. "Whoa, slow down there Mai," Joey said, completely starstruck. "the man came a long way, the least you could do is consider his offer, think about it Mai, he's a movie star and your always craving attention, right?"

I face palmed again. "Oh my gods..." I muttered into them. "you don't say that to a girl..." Then removed my free and Yugi squeezed my other, a gesture I returned.

Mai gasped and knocked off his hands."Give me one good reason as why I should marry this clown!" Mai demanded angrily.

Joey smiled, still starstruck. "Because if you don't marry him I won't be able to visit your Beverly Hills Mansion!" Joey exclaim with a broad smile.

Tea, Mai and I face palmed in annoyance at Joey's stupidity, but focused on Magnum when he began talking again. "You told me to come back when I could beat you in a duel." Magnum stated.

"Alright," Mai said, removing her hand from her face along with Tea and I. "let's settle this with a duel Hotshot."

Mai turned complete back to Magnum once he began to speak again. "And once I win," Magnum smirked. "you'll come back to Hollywood with me and become my bride."

"You don't stand a chance Ace." Mai smirked.

We all stepped towards them and I played with Yugi's fingers nervously. "Mai wait." Yugi stated.

"Yeah," Tristan agreed. "you're already going to the finals, don't duel this guy."

"I probably shouldn't bring this up," Duke whispered to us. "but Jean-Claude Magnum has some serious Kongfu skills, wouldn't be wise to get him mad..."

Tea scoffed. "Don't sweat it guys," Tea said. "Mai will win in no time and still be in the finals."

"Yeah," Joey said, holding up a fist. "you should duel him Mai."

"Hey," Mai said annoyed and confused. "a second ago you told me I should marry him."

Joey sweat dropped. "I didn't say to win..."

Mai rolled her eyes. "Just do me a favor," Mai said. "and let Mr. Ninja borrow your duel disk."

Joey looked at his duel disk then at her yelled: "What?!"

Magnum smirked. "Not necessary." Magnum then slid a duel disk like a pro.

"He's got a duel disk." Joey said shocked.

"Duel disk are only supposed to be given to high rank duelist." Yugi reminded. I nudged him in the rubs and he turned to me.

"I'm not a high rank duelist and I got one." I reminded him. He looked at me pointedly and chuckled slightly.

"You are a high rank duelist for one, Kaiba probably gave you four stars already." Yugi said. "And you're a special case, but still are high rank so it doesn't matter."

I smiled at him cutely, touched by his words. "Thanks Yugi." I said honestly grateful.

"Who says I'm not high rank Shorty?" Magnum stated, then pulled out five locator cards. "The fact is, I've one five locator cards."

"Does that mean," Serenity asked worried. "if Mai loses this duel, she'll lose a locator card and her spot in the finals."

"Why that's exactly right," Magnum said. "I'll take her slot in the finals, not to mention her hand in marriage."

"Yo Magnum," I called, gaining everyone's attention, I let go of Yugi's hand and crossed my arms dangerously. "Two things. One, don't Yugi 'Shorty', that's my nickname from Joey. Two, you have five locator cards while Mai has six. It's obvious she more 'high ranking' than you are, so why don't you back out now and save yourself the humiliation, ya Air Head?"

Magnum smirked. "Because this the way to marry my Sugar," Magnum responded "and take her spot in the finals. Why are you even talking about the finals, Little Raven?"-my eye twitched. Again with this! Where do they come up with these! First its Little Miss and now Little Raven! Where did he come up with the 'Raven' part anyway. Suddenly of my raven black hair feel in my face and I blew it out of it, then it clicked. Oh, he was talking about my hair...-"You probably don't have any locator cards!"

I growled, and pulled out my five locator cards. "If your saying that about me, then your saying it about yourself," I snarled. "because were the same 'rank', because we both have five. I just choose to stay with Yugi and my friends and not worry about the finals!"-By this time my eyes turned emerald and Duke and Yugi grabbed my arms.-"You on the other hand, are just wanting fame and fortune, and you already have a big enough ego, if you beat Mai and get into the finals, which you won't, no one will be able to breathe around you because of all the hot air coming out of your head! Like the air isn't thick enough around you already!"

"You don't have to accept this guy's challenge," Yugi said. "It's not worth risking the finals for."

"Yugi's right Mai." Joey said.

"No way," Mai said. "I wanna show Mr. Hollywood Ninja Boy that I'm just prize to be won."

Bright lights appeared all around us and lit up the street kind of. "Then prepare to lose this duel," Magnum taunted. "but win a husband whose a star!"

"I can't believe that Mai is risking her spot in the finals," Yugi said grabbing my hand and lacing our fingers. "just to show up Jean-Claude Magnum."

"Remember Doll Face," Magnum said. "when I win you marry me. Let's duel!"

My eye twitched again and resisted the urge to tackle him. "Okay this guy's getting on my nerves..." I muttered then looked at Mai. "Claw his eyes out Mai!"

Mai looked over her shoulder held up a thumb. "Will do, Percy." Mai said, then looked back at Magnum.

Magnum drew his card and smirk while muttering something. "I'll play Ninja Commander Ikusa in attack mode. He kinda looks like me, but my structure is better. Now fest your eyes upon my Ninja Commander's special ability."

"There's two." Duke said stating the obvious. I squeezed Yugi's hand in anger and just was just glad to be near him.

"It has to be some kind of Hollywood trick." Tristan assumed.

Magnum chuckled. "It's called multiplicity kid," Magnum smirked. "as long as I keep Ninja Commander in attack mode I can summon Ninja Soldier Katana to the playing field."

"Don't sound so confident you, be movie hack." Mai smirked. "your monsters are just like your movies, second-rate and not around for very long."

"Touché." Magnum agreed.

"Bad reviews aren't always easy to hear." Mai said. "And now"-Mai drew.-"let's see how your ninjas like this. My Amazon Sword Woman, slice and dice his Ninja Soldier with your Amazon Slash Attack!"

Amazon Sword Woman did just that and Magnum's life points dropped to 2,900. "This guy isn't like he is in the movies." Duke commented and I giggled in agreement. Yugi squeezed my hand again and stepped closer to me, which I didn't mind at all.

"Jean-Claude duels like an amateur," Joey wailed, but in a room voice. "and not only that, he's enough shorter than he is on-screen."

"I see you haven't changed your aggressive way of dueling my Sweet Pea." Magnum said as he drew. "Your still as charming as ever. I play another Ninja Commander in attack mode, just like before I'll use his special ability and summon another Ninja Soldier to the field."

"Your dueling is just one bad sequel after another." Mai smirked.

"That attitude only makes me even love you more." Magnum stated.

Mai groaned in annoyance. "I think that Mai is really cool... Percy is too! Don't you Joey?" Serenity said. "They're so tough, I'd love to be like that."

"You serious?" Joey asked.

"Yeah they don't let anyone push them around." Serenity said. I blushed slightly and looked at the ground, I wasn't used to anyone looking to me...

"Yeah I guess," Joey said. "If you thinks it's cool to have a really loud mouth, a mean dispensation, and to walk around acting like you're the greatest thing since cheese fries, sure I guess you can say Mai's cool, I wouldn't though, and Percy... I think is cool anyway!"

An anime angry mark appeared on the side of Mai's head and she clenched her fists. "Sugar Plum," Magnum called. "were you daydreaming about our wedding?"

"I rather eat worms Romeo," Mai said, drawing a card. "Now Amazon Sword Woman attack his Ninja Commander!"

Amazon Sword Woman did so and Magnum's life points dropped to 2,100. "I'm afraid you walked right into the trap I set Darling." Magnum said.

"What are you talking about?" Mai asked

"Your mistake," Magnum said, and drew a card. "Now that you've set my Ninja Commander and my Ninja Soldier to the grave yard, all I have to do is sacrifice one more ninja and you're in trouble. Ninja Soldier, bye-bye, your jobs done. It's time to bring out the real star,"-Magnum placed a card on the duel disk.-"I summon Ninja Master Shogun!"

Ninja Master Shogun appeared on the field and did a weird pose. "What a surprise," Mai said sarcastically. "more ninjas, ever think about trying a different role?"

Magnum placed another card on the field. "You ain't seen nothing yet," Magnum smirked. My eye twitched and Yugi squeezed my hand to make me, calm down with worked slightly. "When my Ninja Master is in attack mode, he can summon two more ninjas, so meet Ninja Commando Kabuki and another Ninja Soldier!"-a yellow and white ninja along with Ninja Soldier ran on the side of a building and landed on both sides of Ninja Master.-"And in another plot twist my Kabuki ninja can also summon a monster to the field, so here's Kunoichi Ayame the Ninja Girl! That's four ninjas for the price of one!"

"Joey," Serenity said. "does this mean Mai's in trouble?"

"Nah," Joey said. "it'll take a lot more than a bunch of second-rate ninjas to stop a duelist like Mai. Trust me, I know first hand, how good she is."

"Ninja Master," Magnum ordered. "attack her Amazon Sword Woman with you merciless Flame Attack!"

Ninja Master did the order, Mai gasped, but Magnum wasn't through yet. "And now my four ninjas," Magnum ordered. "attack my future wife's life points directly."

The four Ninjas jumped and began jumping from building, shooting out some star things, they hit Mai and her life points dropped to 1,800, most of us gasped and I closed my eyes, trying to resist choking him.

"That's rough." Joey commented.

"Sorry my little Ginger Snap," Magnum said. "but that's the price you pay for love. Hey, when I defeat you, at least you can brag about having a husband whose a Battle City Finalist, you can brag about me right?"

"Really," Mai said sarcastically. "you're so sensitive Jean."

Joey growled. "Stop flirting Mai," Joey yelled. "there's too much on the line here."

"If this keeps up," Tea said worried. "she'll have to marry this creep and lose her place in the Battle City Finals."

"I'll place one card face down and ready my ninja army for another attack," Magnum smirked. "I guess what they say is true Mai, sometimes you have destroy the ones you love!"

"That's not love, ya Air Head!" I shouted. "that's insane and just plain creepy!"

Magnum ignored me, but Serenity giggled. "Your life points are wide open for an attack My Dear." Magnum said.

"Not for long," Mai said, as she drew. "show your claws my Cyber Harpie, I'd hate to leave you at the altar, but I'm not losing this duel! Cyber Harpie, scratch out his Ninja Master!"

"You set of my trap," Magnum shouted as Cyber Harpie went for the kill. "unleash Ninja Smoke Ball!"

Ninja Master threw something at Cyber Harpie, black/brown smoke-filled the field, and Mai began to cough a bit. "I'm afraid you attack has just been blocked, which means you lady bird has to take her claws off my ninja."

"Mai," Tristan shouted. "crush this wanna be!"

"I'll finish with one card face down and it's back to you." Mai stated.

"No hard feelings?" Magnum pleaded, but it was fake, as he drew. "Alright, looks like we'll be walking down the aisle together sooner than I expected."

"You'll be limping down the aisle," Mai retorted. "alone when I done with you."

"Are you bitter because Hollywood's hottest celebrity is about to take your place in the Battle City Finals?" Magnum taunted. "Observe my magic card, go Great Kite of Ninja!"-a magic spun in a circle, rose in the air and exploded into a large kite and Ninja Master Shogun hopped into the kite-"Hovering over head, my Ninja Master is protected from all your attacks and magic cards."

"Oh-no." Mai whispered to herself.

"My kite also allow me to bypass any of your monsters and attack your life points directly," Magnum bragged. "as long as I sacrifice one of my own monsters first."-Mai growled here.-"Now I'll sacrifice my Ninja Soldier and attack your life points with my Ninja Master's Thunder Attack!"

Ninja Master balled a fist, pointed it at Mai, and lightning struck her. I flinched at the lightning, it reminded me of Zues. Mai's life points dropped to 200 as she yelped in pain.

"Atta Boy," Magnum taunted. "we're almost done, we can start planning our honeymoon on Waikiki Beach."

"I wouldn't pick your best man just yet!" Mai shouted.

"Mai's going to get bumped from the finals and then she'll have to marry this jerk!" Serenity said in worry.

"We can't let that happen," Joey snarled, then turned to Yugi and I and spoke but not with a snarl. "Hey Yuge, Shorty, can Mai turn this around?"

Yugi nodded and squeezed my hand. "If she plays Harpie's Feather Duster," Yugi said. "it negates all magic cards on the field."

Joey blinked then cupped his hands around his mouth. "You don't happen to have a Harpie's Feather Duster in your hand do ya?"

Mai's eyes drifted toward his direction. "Don't you think I would've used it by now?" Mai sassed.

"In that case," Joey shrugged. "what do you think I should wear to your Hollywood wedding, huh Mai?"

Mai got a face of horror and she drew. "I just can't lose," Mai muttered. "no way."

"Let's just get this over with," Magnum said. "time is money, and the finals awaite!"

"Shorty, Yuge," Joey called, and we looked at him in unison. "we need a plan before that flying ninja attacks again."

"Mai should focus on destroying the ninjas on the ground first." I stated, looking at the duel. I felt Yugi squeeze my hand in agreement and I smiled slightly to myself, but continued anyway, while turning my head to Joey. "Remember he has to sacrifice them to attack her life points, but if she wipes them out first, she'll be safe."

Yugi nodded in agreement. "Couldn't have said it better myself," Yugi whispered. "you took the words out of my mouth."

I giggled with a blush on my cheek and looked at Joey. "Hey your right!" Joey said, and then cupped his mouth with his hands again. "Hey Mai, I've got some great ninja destroying advice."

Mai turned to him. "Look," Mai said. "I can do this on my own."

Joey put his hands down. "Well," Joey sassed. "excuse me, I only trying to help you win, so you don't have to miss out on the Battle City Finals Mrs. Grumpinhumer."

Mai rolled her eyes. "Just keep your big mouth shut," Mai said. "or I'll stick your duel disk in it."

Joey's eyes widened and he covered his mouth with his hands. "She's got get rid of those other three ninjas now." Tristan said.

"One more direct attack," Duke said. "and her life points are history."

"Then it's good-bye Battle City finals." Tea said.

"And hello Mrs. Magnum." Duke finished.

Joey growled. "We're all behind you Mai!" Joey shouted.

"I get the point." Mai said.

"Then duel like the Mai I know!" Joey shouted in return.

Mai gasped, turned back to Magnum, closed her eyes, and opened them a new rage burning in her eyes. "Watch out Jean," Mai shouted. "I'm back! I play a magic card, elegant egotist, it turns one Harpie into three, take out his ninjas!"

The three Cyber Harpies did just that, we cheered, and Mai turned around held up a thumbs up and winked at Joey, who blushed in return.

Magnum growled. "Your starting to bug me kid." Magnum said.

We all looked at Joey. "You talkin' to me," Joey asked. "Ninja Nerd?"

Magnum pointed at Joey. "Why don't you leave this duel to the grown ups you little twerp." Magnum said.

"Don't push my Claude," Joey threatened with a fist. "or I'll through some ninja moves of my own, you big ape."

We all looked at him shocked with a surprised gasp, then Joey looked at us and waved his arms around with an embarrassed face. "What?" Joey said. "I'll do the same for any of you."

"That tough routine is really cute," Magnum taunted. "but Mai's a big girl now Jimmy. She doesn't need the whole play group looking out for her."

Joey held up a fist. "Look pal," Joey said annoyed. "the name's Joey, and after that remark of yours, you can consider my membership of the Jean-Claude Magnum fan club canceled, ya fraud!"

That was bad... Magnum shook his head in fake disappointment. "Well," Magnum said sarcastically. "I'll survive somehow, but the money and fame, just won't feel the same without you."

Mai cleared her throat. "If you two are done," Mai said. "I'm placing one card face down."

"It's about time," Magnum said as he drew his next card. "That's right, you remember my Ninja Girl don't you? Ha, once I sacrifice her, my Ninja Master will finish you off for good."

Joey stepped forward. "Oh-no!" Joey said.

"Oh yes!" Magnum retorted.

"Sorry but I'm about to cut your Ninja Girl from the scene," Mai said. "with my Grave Arm magic card. It sends you Ninja Girl to the Card Grave Yard!"

This ugly hand grabbed Magnum's Ninja Girl and drug her in a hole. "No way!" Magnum denied.

"You got no monsters to sacrifice," Mai taunted. "but wait, there's more. You forgot one very important thing, that kite up there might protect your Ninja Master from being attacked, but it also takes your monster from all the action, including defending your life points. Which means your wide open for a direct attack, so you can cancel those wedding plans, 'cause I'll be busy, at the Battle City Finals!"-Magnum gasped.-"Now Cyber Harpies finish up this washed up has been, attack his life points directly with your Triple Scratch Attack!"

Mai's Cyber Harpies did that and Magnum's life points dropped to zero. "Show's over!" Joey cheered.

"I give you two thumbs down, Movie Boy." Mai smirked. "I hope you've learned I'm not a prize to be won."

Magnum stood up and laughed through his closed mouth. "I think I'm missing the joke." Joey stated confused.

"It's not you Joey," Tristan said. "he's lost it!"

"Oh there's alright," Magnum said. "and if your missing it, it's probably because the jokes on you."

Mai rolled her eyes. "Please stop reciting your lines," Mai said. "show's over, get out of my life now!"-Mai looked up and we all did.-"Huh? Your monsters still there?"

"But the duels over." Duke stated in shock.

"All of the duel holograms should have disappeared." Tea joined in.

"Hey Guys," Yugi and I shouted. "I don't think that's a hologram!"

They all screamed, I brought out Riptide(in pen form) and let go of Yugi's hand.

"That flying Ninja's closing in!" Joey shouted.

"Welcome to the world of Hollywood's special effects," Magnum shouted in pride. "where anything can happen!"

The 'monster' flew down and threw a rope thing onto Mai and I her shout in protest. "Mai!" Joey and I shouted.

"If I can't win your heart Mai," Magnum said. "then I'm going to just have to steal it!"

Magnum ran the other way and Joey yelled :"You won't get away with this!" while chasing after him, ignoring Serenity protesting.

I widened my eyes, pocketed Riptide, and began to sprint, when I heard no foot steps following, I stopped and turned to them. "Well come on!" I shouted exasperated.

They got over their shock and we all ran to where we thought Joey was, when we found them Mai was supporting Joey and Serenity called out to them.

"You're the best Joey." Mai said.

"But you could have married a movie star." Joey said a bit groggy.

"If I did that," Mai smirked. "I wouldn't be able to kick your butt in the finals, now would I?"

Joey got a sly look on his face and I stepped forward ready to catch him, because whatever his about to say is going to offend Mai and she's going to drop him. "Plus," Joey said. "if you ever did get married, you'd drive your husband crazy."

There it is... Mai got an annoyed look on her face let go of Joey, I acted quick, I stepped forward grabbed Joey's other hand, and heaved forward with all my (demigod) strength. Joey let out a surprised yelp and crashed into me, making me fall to the ground instead of him.

I groaned, because I landed on my back. "Ow..." I moaned. "That backfired..."

They all laughed at me reaction and Joey held out a hand. I glared at him, but grabbed it anyway. Joey hauled me up, then pushed me backwards...right ...into ...Yugi. Yugi let out a yelp of surprise and circled his arms around my stomach, so we wouldn't fall. We both turned beet red and looked away from each other.

"Hi..." I mumbled to him, and that only made everyone laugh harder.

Once we detached ourself from each other, everyone stopped laughing and teasing us. Joey turned the other direction, then back at us, and back the other direction. "Let's get inside that stadium and do what we all came here to do!"

"Yeah!" Yugi started.

"That Battle City Finals starts tonight!" I finished. Yugi and I smiled at each other, he grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together, then did something unexpected, he kissed my cheek. I turned bright red and looked at the ground with a huge smile on my face.

"Let the best man win!" Joey said.

"You mean woman!" Mai smirked.

(A/N: okay that was one full episode and I'll do probable two more or half on this next one, so enjoy!)

We were close to the stadium and were all having our own conversations. Duke,Tristan, and Joey were having their own and they would look over at Yugi and I, then would howl with laughter. Serenity, Tea, and Mai were having one too and were glancing at us every five minutes, then would begin giggling which only made me worry more.

Yugi and I swung our hands back and forth as Yugi tried to get me to say somethings about the Battle City Finals.

"Do you know what Marik looks like?" Yugi asked.

I shook my head. "Unfortunately," I said. "I lost that part of the season, so no idea."

"Do you think the finals are in the stadium?" Yugi asked. "Knowing Kaiba, he would have made something a lot, out there then some stadium."

I nodded my head in agreement. "I know it's not in a stadium.." I racked my brain trying to remember. "I think it's in some kind of aircraft... it's something in the sky... and that's what I'm afraid of..."

"Why?" Yugi asked concerned.

"Yugi," I sighed. "I'm the daughter of Poseidon, god of seas... not the daughter of Zues, god of skies... My Uncles hate when we go into their territory and the sky is Zues's domain, not my dad's or mine... Zues might blast me out of the sky and I don't want to put you all in danger..."

"Do not be afraid our little heroine..." a raspy voice said in my head again, just like the one from the helicopter, a Fate. "yes, I'm one of the Fates, we made Zues swear on the River Sytx not to harm you in any way while you're in the air in the that world... so do not be afraid..."

"Or not..." I said to Yugi. "The Fates made Zues swear not to harm me while I'm in this world!"

"Well," Yugi said. "that's good."

After that, we walked in silence and we walked into a lightened stadium.

"This is it?" Yugi asked looking around.

"This place is still under construction." Duke said.

"We're unfashionably early." Mai commented and I laughed.

"Welcome," A man in a suit said. "present your locator cards."

"Check it out," Joey said. "We all got six."

"Then here are your tournament ID's." The other suit said. "Congratulations, you three are now official Battle City Finalists."-then he looked at me.-"What about you?"

I blinked in surprise, let go of Yugi's hand, and looked at my duel disk. "Nah," I shrugged. "only have five, didn't want to be a finalist."

He nodded and looked at the others. "Now security is tight," He said. "make sure to have these cards with you at all times."

"Thanks," Joey said. "now where is everyone else?"

"So far it's only you three," The same suit said. "and of course Mister Kaiba, we expect the other four finalist shortly."

There was a strangle wind and the suit said: "Here comes some one now."

"Guys," Yugi warned. "I have a bad feeling about this."

"Agreed." I said reaching for Riptide, but stopped when Yugi grabbed my hand.

"Hey Yugi, Shorty." Joey said. "You think it's that Marik creep?"

"Could be," Yugi said. "he must be one of the eight finalist."

The person stepped into the light and I blinked in surprise.

Okay, he's familiar... The guy looked our age, and had lavender eyes. He had sandy blonde hair and had dark skin like someone from the desert. He wore something like Egyptian bands around his arms, which I ignored. He smiled at us and walked forward. Okay maybe I don't know him...

"What a minute," Joey said, while him and Tea ran over to him. "I know you, your Namu right?"

"You saved Bakura's life." Tea said.

"Glad I could help," Namu said. "where's Bakura now?"

"Resting," Tea said. "in the hospital."

"That's good," Namu said. "I'll do anything to help someone in need."

Namu looked at Joey. "So Joey," Namu said. "looks like we both made it to the Battle City Finals, didn't we? I never thought I would make it this far, but since the day I meet you to, I've been winning every duel."

Yugi and I walked next them and let go of each others hands. "Yugi, Percy," Tea said. "meet our friend Namu, he's the one who saved Bakura's life and get this he's also one of the Battle City Finalist, isn't that right Joey?"

Joey jumped and sputtered until he got out a "Sure"

"I've heard about you two," Namu said, holding out a hand for us to shake. "it's an honor to meet you two."

Yugi shook it first. "Namu," Yugi said. "thanks a lot for helping out Bakura, any friend of Joey and Tea's is a buddy of mine."

Then Namu held out his hand to me, I grasped it warily and shook it. "Hi there Namu," I said, ignoring the feel of his hands. "basically the same thing Yugi said, and my name's Percy, Percy Jackson."

I let go of his hand and let it fall to my side. "I'm so happy to surrounded by such a welcoming crowd." Namu said. "I just hope everyone else I meet is as friendly as you people."

Suddenly I heard more footsteps and I snapped my attention towards it, I recognized the person as Ryou Bakura. Wasn't he in the hospital? Oh, gods.. he's limping... I rushed over to him and helped him steady himself.

"Hey you alright?" I asked.

"Bakura!" Yugi called as he ran over here, along with Joey and Tea.

"You should get back to the hospital!" Joey exclaimed.

"Bakura," Tea said. "you should really be resting."

"Yeah," Yugi agreed. "Grandpa told me you were in really bad condition, here let us help you out."

Bakura opened his eyes and I blinked in surprise they were a pretty brown. "Look," Bakura said. "I'm fine."

"Look Bakura," Tristan said. "I don't know how you found us here, but you better get back to that hospital."

"Wait," Yugi said. "What are you doint wearing a duel disk?"

I blinked and looked at his arm, he was wearing a duel disk and he is injured! "How else could I win six locator cards," Bakura said. "and enter the finals?"

I jumped back in surprise when they all made some kind of noise, I hid behind Joey and then peeked out.

"Just look!" Bakura said holding up six locator cards, Bakura looked behind Joey and saw me.

Bakura's eyes flashed. "Persephone..." Bakura muttered.

I blinked in surprise and stepped beside Joey. "Yes..." I said slowly. "but I go by Percy..."

"Hey rewind a second," Joey said. "when did you join the tournament?"

"Join?" Tristan said. "How'd you make it all the way to the finals?"

"This is freaking me out." Joey stated and Yugi rose an eyebrow in suspension.

Bakura looked up. "Hey look," Bakura said. "it's the seventh finalist."

We all looked behind us and saw another guy. Now, he looks very familiar... Joey said something and so did Yugi.

"That's the guy." Joey said, while Tea gasped.

"He's the one who kidnapped me." Mokuba said.

The man walked past Yugi and I, and I felt a wave of evil come from somewhere. "State your name right now." Kaiba demanded.

"I am Marik." the man, Marik, said.

Joey stepped forward. "I'll kick your brainwashing butt!" Joey shouted.

"Your no match for me, Fool." Marik said.

Joey growled. "The only reason I'm not tossing you by the cape right now," Joey said. "is so I can save my energy when I take you down in the finals, got that!"

I growled here and stepped forward. "Well you know what," I said. "I'm not in the finals!"

I lunged forward and Mai and Tea caught me by both arms. I fought against their hold for a while then gave up. "I should disqualify you right now," Kaiba said. "for capturing my little brother Mokuba, but you have something I want. And before the Finals are over, your Egyptian God Card will be mine."

Mokuba glared at him. "Looks like you don't have many friends around here, Tatoo Face." Mokuba said.

Marik scoffed and walked away, Joey muttered something about scaring him off, and Tea and Mai let me go and I stood next to Yugi.

"Finalist," one of the suits said. "seven out of the eight finalist are here and now it's time to announce. Although you locator cards brought you here, this is not the sight of the Battle City Finals."

Joey and Yugi gasped. "The actual arena should arriving here soon folks." The other suit said.

"I'm lost." Joey stated.

"Where are the Finals?" Yugi demanded.

Suddenly the spotlights pointed upwards and Joey said to look up. "It's Kaiba's blimp!" Joey said.

"I knew it..." I muttered to Yugi, who chuckled and nodded in return.

"It's huge." Mai commented.

"Stand back, we'll all be boarding shortly." one of the started.

"Kaiba Craft 3, your clear for landing." the other finished.

"Oh man." Joey said.

"So," Yugi said. "we're dueling in the sky?"

"You got it," Mokuba said. "in fact, 4,000 feet in the sky to be exact."

I widened my eyes and looked at Yugi, who grabbed my hand in return. "You got barf bags on board?" Joey asked. "Just checkin'"

"Alright, listen up," Mokuba shouted. "it's time to board Kaiba Craft 3, for the start of the Battle City Finals."

"We'll depart as soon as the eighth finalist arrives." one of them said.

I looked at Yugi, and let go of his hand so he could board. "A girl can certainly get used to the type of treatment." Mai commented.

"Ah yeah!" Joey shouted. "I'm kicking but on a blimp."

The rest of us started to board when on of them stopped us. "Hold it," one of them said. "I can't let you five on board without tournament ID's."

"Please sir," Serenity said. "I've been looking forward to seeing my big brother duel for a long time."

"Cut her some slack." Duke said.

"What's the big deal?" Tristan demanded.

"Let us go on." Duke said.

"We'll be quiet!" Tea said.

"Just this once!" Serenity pleaded, and I stay quiet.

"It is against the rules." the suit said.

"Give it a rest Roland," Mokuba said. "we can bend the rules for them, I don't have an ID card."

"But there Mr. Kaiba's rules." Roland denied.

"Well Big Bro?" Mokuba said.

Kaiba rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Kaiba said.

"Sounds like a yes to me." Tristan said, and they all rushed on board, before I could even take a step on the steps.

"Just let the dweebs go." Kaiba said, walking past at the same time as me.

"Thanks Seto!" Mokuba said, rushing after us.

"Thanks Kaiba..." I said to him.

"Begin take off immedently." Kaiba said.

"But Mr. Kaiba," Roland said. "the eighth duelist hasn't arrived yet."

"Oh well." Kaiba smirked.

Once we got inside, Mokuba looked at Kaiba. "You sure you want to do this Seto?" Mokuba asked.

Kaiba didn't answer and I ran ahead to find Yugi and the others.

"This is awesome!" Tea said. "I've never seen the city from this high up!"

We were currently looking out of a window, down at the city and I have to admit it was beautiful.

"The lights are so pretty," Serenity said. "thanks for bringing me Joey."

"Just one of the many perks of being related to a champion!" Joey laughed.

"You call yourself a champion Wheeler?" Kaiba taunted. "What a fluke."

Joey growled. "Keep walking Kaiba."

"Enjoy it while you can," Kaiba said. "and listen, I wouldn't get your hopes up to high, it's a long way down from here. Oh, and the last time I checked, monkeys can't fly."

Kaiba walked away from the very angry Joey and stopped in front of Yugi and I. "Yugi, I've got some words of advice for you too." Kaiba said. "I'm aware you haven't played your Egyptian God Card since you've won it, but it's time to change that right here and now. So it better be in you deck during the finals, because I intend to win it."

Yugi gasped slightly and Yami appeared behind of Yugi to look and listen to Kaiba. "This is my tournament Yugi, got it? And when the Battle City Finals are over, I'll be the world's greatest duelist and the owner of all three Egyptian God Cards, making my deck unbeatable. So it's time to say your good byes to Slifer the Sky Dragon."

Yami scoffed through his closed mouth. "And any hope you have of winning. Listen to me closely,"-Yami narrowed his eyes at Kaiba.-"Duelist Kingdom is far away and as long as your up here with me, your playing my game by my rules."-Kaiba began walking away.-"Now, If you excuse me, I've got a tournament to run."

"This balloon is full of hot air." Joey commented.

I glared at the direction Kaiba was walking. "Fully Agreed Joey." I said.

"Attention Finalist," Roland said over an intercom. "please report to your assigned rooms, which you can get access to with you ID cards."

I walked with Yugi and he opened the door. I walked inside with him and turned to him while everyone else was checking things out. "Are you sure I can stay in here with you?" I asked. "'Cause your the King of Games, you need a lot more preparation than the rest of you... I can always ask Mai..."

Yugi placed his hand on my shoulder. "Percy," Yugi said. "It's no problem for you to stay with me, plus I would feel a lot better if you stayed with me, so I know your safe."

Soon the others left and I flopped on Yugi's bed. "Hey Yugi?" I asked turning my body towards him, since he sitting on a chair.

"Yeah Percy?" Yugi answered, raising his violet his to meet my sea green ones.

"Do ya mind if I take a quick nap?" I asked with a sheepish smile. "This way I won't bother you, when you're getting ready for the finals."

"Not at all." Yugi said. "And you could never bother me, Percy."

"Oh great," I sighed in relief. "and wake me up when we have to go to choose the first finalists to duel, okay?"

"You got it Percy." Yugi said. I turned over and closed my eyes, and instantly feel in a surprisingly dreamless sleep.
