~Sabrina~

We were able to get out of the courtroom by going through the door we came in, but the scenery changed into a cave. We've been wandering around it for a while now. Joey is starting to calm down about Serenity, but he's still quite jittery.

"Okay, so three of them are out. That leaves two more of the Big Five." Tea says.

"And we still need to find Duke, Tristan, Serenity, Kaiba, and Mokuba." I say.

"Yeah, and what are the odds that they picked Serenity as a target?"

Joey cringes, "Don't you understand that she doesn't even know how to play the game!? They're going to go after her because it's easy prey!" he yells.

"Okay Joey, calm down. Getting angry isn't going to find Serenity any quicker." Yugi says.

"But we can't just wander dis place forever!"

"Joey, we know that. But if Serenity was dueling, she has to be strong. And if she saw you acting this way, it might cause her to weaken. So try and stay calm for her sake."

He sighs, "I guess you're right. Thanks Sabrina."

I nod. We start walking once more. So far, this tunnel doesn't seem like it even has an exit. It just keeps going straight with no signs of it stopping. "How far do you think this goes?" I ask.

"Well it has to have an exit somewhere." Yugi says.

So, we keep moving. Still no exit. "Guys can we take a break for a second?" Tea asks.

"Sure. I think we've walked almost a mile down this tunnel." Yugi says.

"At least, that's what it feels like." I say.

The cave is pretty silent, other than the noise we're making. A loud shriek echoes across the cave. We almost have to cover our ears because of it. It dies down after a second, "What was that?" I ask.

"That was Serenity! I'm sure of it!" Joey says.

He now starts running, leaving us to run to catch up with him. We keep running, but don't find an exit. Her scream echoes the walls again. What happened to her? Did she lose a duel? I hope she didn't. We keep running aimlessly, hoping to find a way to reach her. "Does Joey even know where he's going at this point?" Tea asks.

"He probably doesn't have a better idea than the rest of us do." I say.

"Hey guys, look! There's the exit!" Joey says.

Up ahead is the cave mouth with light coming from the other side. We run through it to find a room that looks similar to Noah's fortress. Below us is a duel going on with a giant robot, Duke, and Serenity. Yes, we found them! "Serenity! Up here!" Joey calls.

"Joey, it's you!" she says.

"Sorry to interrupt this 'touching' reunion, but I have a duel to win." The robot says. Obviously one of the Big Five.

"And what makes you so special?" Joey says.

"I am Nezbitt. I was head of technology back at Kaiba Corp."

That explains the giant robot. I look around for a moment, "Hey wasn't Tristan with you guys?" I ask.

"Well… yeah." Duke says, "But… he lost."

What? H-he lost? "He tried to protect me. It's all my fault." Serenity says as she wipes away a tear.

"Don't worry Serenity. We're all here for you now, so don't give up!" Joey encourages.

"Okay."

Serenity draws and looks over her cards, "I'll sacrifice my Lady Panther to summon Marie the Fallen One. Okay… then I discard this to activate the special ability of my Deck Master. Goddess with the Third Eye, fuse together Marie the Fallen One with Forgiving Maiden to summon St. Joan!" she says.

"Nice try, but your monster is too weak to stand up to my Deck Master." Nezbitt says.

"But my Command Angel gives St. Joan extra attack points, using her special ability."

It's still too weak though. I scan over the field and notice that a card that Tristan must've played previously is still on the field. "Hey Yugi, can they still activate that card?" I ask.

"I think they can." He says. Yugi turns his attention over to Duke and Serenity, "Hey guys! Tristan's card is still on the field! You might be able to use that!"

"Oh yeah." Duke says, "I can use my Strike Ninja's special ability to discard two cards from my hand, so I'm able to activate Tristan's face-down card."

I hope that card will help them. The card is flipped face-up and is revealed to be Rare Metal Soul. That's perfect! That card will be able to raise St. Joan's attack power by 1000, matching it with Perfect Machine King.

"Go St. Joan! Attack his Perfect Machine King!" Serenity commands.

Both monsters are destroyed, but since Perfect Machine King was the Deck Master, Nezbitt automatically loses. "Way to go sis!" Joey says.

"Fools! Tristan is still gone, and I will claim his body and escape this world!" Nezbitt says.

"No, he can't do that! He lost the duel!" I say.

Nezbitt disappears a moment later. Joey, Tea, Yugi, and I head down to where Duke and Serenity are. "Are you guys alright?" Joey asks.

"We're fine. I wish we could say the same for Tristan though." Duke says.

"Joey, it was all my fault!" Serenity sobs.

"It's gonna be alright Serenity, we'll find him." Joey says.

"His body may be gone, but doesn't that mean his mind is still here?" I ask.

"Yeah. We've got to find him!" Yugi says.

Gosh, I really have to stop doing cliffhangers, don't I? Sorry if this chapter was a bit short, btw. And also sorry if the title sounds like crap.
