~Sabrina~

I wake up again on a concrete floor. I look around and notice that the walls are made of metal, there are boxes scattered on the floor, and there's a small window near the ceiling. I hear a yell come from behind the door behind me. I look over to see two Rare Hunters approaching the door, they open it and throw Tea inside and then shut the door. "Tea! Are you alright?" I say.

"Oh, Sabrina! I'm fine. What's the meaning of all of this?" she says.

"I don't know. Do you think they have Yugi also?"

"I'm not sure. But, I was with Joey earlier, and I haven't seen him. Who are these guys anyway?"

"They call themselves Rare Hunters. They work for this guy named Marik. I want to say that we're being used as bait, but I also feel that Marik has something else in mind."

"Then we better not stay to find out! Maybe we can escape through that window, help me move those boxes."

We start stacking the boxes up high enough so that we'll be able to reach the window. Tea climbs up first and tries to grab the ledge, but the boxes soon collapse sending her straight to the ground. "You okay?" I ask

"Yeah, I'll be alright." She says.

I notice that the door is opening. I turn around to see those same Rare Hunters, but with Mokuba this time. They throw him inside and shut the door. "Mokuba, what are you doing here?" I say.

"Sabrina! Tea! I was just looking for you guys until those Rare Hunters grabbed me. Poor Seto… I wish I could help him. But, he won't lose, after all, Yugi and him both have an Egyptian God card!" Mokuba says.

"Egyptian what?" Tea says.

I remember that! I think Marik said something about them when he was controlling that Rare Hunter. He said they were three Egyptian beasts that the Pharaoh locked away millennia ago. "Egyptian God cards. They're the both powerful cards in Duel Monsters and there are only three. Whoever has them will be unstoppable." Mokuba says.

"Marik wants his hands on them. Not only that, he wants the Puzzle and Pendant too. With all of them in his grasp, he'll be able to control the entire world." I say.

For now, the three of us just sit there in wait. We sit there in almost silence for about half an hour. "Man, if only I could get in touch with Seto, but those jerks took my laptop." Mokuba says

"Well there has to be some other way out of here. Our first plan didn't go very smoothly though." I say.

The door then opens again. Two Rare Hunters walk into the room and approach us. "What do you want?" I ask.

"We have orders from Master Marik to take you into custody." One of them says.

"Well, you can tell Marik that I'm staying put!" I say backing away from them.

The Rare Hunters get closer to us. One of them is only a few feet away from me, so I decide to go on the offensive. I go to punch him, which I land on his face, but the other Rare Hunter takes that chance to grab me.

I hit the ground, and try to get back up, but the Rare Hunter is holding me down. "Get off of me! Let me go!" I yell. Mokuba tries to tackle the guy, but is quickly shoved off. Tea tries to make similar efforts, but they fail as well. The Rare Hunter ties my hands behind my back and put a blindfold over my eyes.

"No! Get off of me! Let me go!" I yell. I keep yelling similar things as they drag me by the arms down a hallway. After a while, I give it a rest because I know that these guys won't stop. So I let myself get dragged.

I hear a door open and then I get dragged inside. I notice that the room must be darker than the hallways, which increases when they shut the door. They lift me up and place me into a chair and start tying me to it. What's the point of this? What are they going to do, interrogate me? I hear the door open once more and then hear one of the Rare Hunters speak, "She's all set." He says

Footsteps move away from me, and the door shuts, so I suppose I'm left alone with whoever the other person is. "Show yourself." I say.

The blindfold is removed from my eyes and I see a tall man wearing a Rare Hunter cloak standing in front of me. I can slightly see his face, and he seems to have tan skin and some kind of marking on his face. "What's the deal with this!? If you're going to interrogate me, then sorry, but I know nothing!" I say.

"You'll learn what we have planned for you soon enough." The man says.

I feel that someone else might be in the room, but I don't see anyone. Could this man be Marik? Why would he bother to show his face now? I feel that another Millennium Item is present in this room. It could be the Rod; Marik said he possessed that one. "So, what's so special about you? Are you Marik or some wannaby that follows his every order?" I say.

"Keep quiet. For now, you will do as your told." He says.

"Or what? You guys don't scare me. You're just a bunch of cowards trying to look all tough and scary. Why don't you just take the Pendant now? Or are you too much of a wimp to do so?"

"In due time. But not now."

He raises his hand and puts it near my face, "Hey get away from me! I don't need Rare Hunter germs all over me!" I yell.

I then feel something come over me. It's like something trying to break my free-will. I try to see if I can connect to Ari, but whatever is happening is keeping her inside the Pendant. Is he trying to take control of me? I've got to beat this; I can't lose my mind to a coward like him!

I try to fight this feeling, but it's too strong. It seems to be cutting off the powers of the Pendant. My mind slips away from me, and I know I'll be under Marik's control.

~Marik Pov~

With Sabrina under my control, little Yugi will have no choice but to surrender his Egyptian God card to me! I step out from behind Sabrina, who is absolutely motionless. "Odion, untie her. We need everyone into position for this to work." I say.

"Yes, Master Marik." Odion says.

"And bring in that girl and Kaiba's brother. They'll make a great addition to my collection of Mind Slaves."

I already have Joey and Sabrina under my control, and an extra two will come in handy. I wait in the room as Odion leaves to gather Tea and Kaiba's brother. A Rare Hunter walks into the room, "Master Marik, please forgive us, but Mokuba… he's escaped." He says.

"What! You fool! I give you the simple task of making sure they don't escape, and you do the opposite!" I yell. I use the Millennium Rod and send him to the Shadow Realm. How pathetic. My minions can't even carry out the simplest of tasks. But, I could use Mokuba's escape to my advantage. Now little Yugi has no choice but to come crawling to me. He'll have no choice but to surrender at the sight of his friends!

But, of course, I'll still have to duel him for his Millennium Puzzle. And perhaps I could also have the Pendant at stake. I could always use my new Mind Slaves as a good pawn. But, who would the Pharaoh struggle against the most; his host's best friend or his Queen?

Yeah, that's the problem I'm having at the moment. Any ideas?
