~Sabrina~
The area we're in now reminds me of Domino Pier. Except there's no water nearby; just warehouses. "Poor Tristan…" Serenity says.
"Don't worry; didn't they say he was in some kind of holding area?" Yugi says.
"But, what if they reached him before we do?" I ask.
"We'll make sure dat doesn't happen!" Joey says.
We wander around near the warehouses more, but still don't find a place where Tristan could be. I then hear clanging and a yell not too far away, "Do you guys hear that?" I ask.
"Yeah, I think it's coming from over there." Yugi says pointing.
We run past another warehouse, then go around another one and see Kaiba, Mokuba, and Tristan standing there. "Hey Tristan! I knew we'd track you down pal!" Joey says.
I don't know, something about Tristan seems off. "Run along, kids." He says.
"Wait a second. You're Nezbitt, aren't you!" I say.
"Yes. I've taken over your friend's body! And now that that's done, it's time to do something I should have done ages ago!" Nezbitt lunges toward Kaiba with a stick in his hands.
Kaiba dodges and grabs a pole lying on the ground. Nezbitt knocks it out of his hands and sends the pole to the ground again. "Why are you doing this!" Kaiba practically shouts.
"To get revenge on what you did to me! Now say goodby-" Nezbitt is cut off when a robot monkey jumps onto his head, but is easily thrown off. Joey then takes the chance to kick Nezbitt into a warehouse.
"Joey, what did you do that for!? It's still Tristan's body!" Tea yells.
"Well someone had to shut that guy up!" Joey says.
Tea and Serenity rush over to see if Tristan's body is okay. A light then comes from the inside and Nezbitt bursts out of there on a motorcycle. The motorcycle just barely misses Kaiba and starts heading toward Mokuba. Nezbitt grabs Mokuba and hits him on the head, causing him to fall unconscious. "Now I've taken something from you Kaiba!" he shouts.
"Come back you snake!" Kaiba yells.
We go to run after Nezbitt, but he escapes down a tunnel. I hear a noise behind us and then see Kaiba getting onto another motorcycle, "Guys, get out of the way!" I say.
Kaiba rushes past us and seems like he wouldn't care if one of us was run over. "Okay, what now? Should we go after them?" I ask.
"Well if Nezbitt has Tristan's body, then maybe we should try and look for the real one first." Yugi says.
We turn around to keep looking and see that same robot monkey sitting there, "Hey, what's he doing here?" Joey asks.
The monkey starts jumping up and down at seeing us, "What should we do about him?" Joey asks.
"Let's unbolt him and tear him apart." Duke says, "I don't think he can be trusted."
"No way! This guy risked his life to save Kaiba!" Serenity says.
"That's true, but he's still not worth trusting," I say, "For all we know he could have done that to get on our side, and then turn on us. He could've been created by Noah."
"I agree with Sabrina on this one. All in favor of scraping him?" Duke says.
"No! Stop it guys! Let's take him with us. Come here little guy." Serenity says. The monkey jumps up into Serenity's arms.
"Serenity, if we're going to take him with us, then you better keep an eye of him." I say.
"I will!"
"Alright, let's go find Tristan!" Yugi says.
The robot monkey starts thrashing his arms around and making noises, "Shut up!" Joey says, "You should just be grateful we're even taking you wit us!"
"Yeah, so, anyway. What are we going to do about our current situation?" I say.
Everyone stops and thinks for a moment. "Um… do you think there's a vehicle around here that we can use?" Duke says.
"Maybe, but we'll have to check most of the warehouses." Yugi says.
We decide to split up then. Yugi goes with Duke, Joey with Serenity, and Tea with me. Tea and I start looking in the warehouses nearby, while the others search more far away. We search for about fifteen minutes, but no one finds anything.
"Sabrina, help me unlock this door." Tea says.
I walk over to Tea and help her break the lock. Luckily it was easy because the lock was rusted. We open the door and walk inside. Its cloudy outside, so not much light enters the room. There looks like there's a car in the very back, but it's difficult to see. The two of us head back there and see if there's a light switch nearby or at least the main door for the warehouse.
"See anything?" I say as I run my hands along the walls.
"No, wait, I feel something. Ouch!" she says.
"What happened?"
"I tripped over something. I found the main door; see if you can open it from the outside."
"Okay."
I head out the side door and walk to the other side of the warehouse to see the main door. I can see Yugi and Duke searching another warehouse nearby, "Hey guys!" I yell.
They look over and then head toward me, "Did you and Tea find anything yet?" Duke asks.
"I think there's a car in here. Help me lift this door up." I say.
The three of us eventually lift up the door, which brings light into the warehouse. In the back is a green pick-up truck that can fit two people in the front and the rest of us in the back. "That will work." Yugi says.
"Yeah, I'll go get Joey and Serenity." Duke says.
He soon returns with both of them and the robot monkey. "Aw yeah, that's much better than walkin!" Joey says. "I call dibs on driving!"
"Who says you get to drive?" Tea says.
"Because I'd probably do better than you guys. And besides, do you see anyone else volunteering for the job?"
Tea sighs, "Fine, you can drive."
"And Joey, when you end up crashing, we'll be the judge of your 'skills'." I say. We all laugh, but Joey just pouts.
"Okay, okay, just get in the back already."
Joey hops in the driver seat, while the rest of us sit in the back. Joey drives out of the warehouse and through the same tunnel Kaiba and Nezbitt went into. When we exit the tunnel, we're on an abandoned highway that runs over a large ocean.
"Man, it's a good thing we found this." Duke says.
"Yeah, it certainly beats walki-" Yugi gets cut off when Joey slams on the breaks. My head ends up hitting the window right next to me. Ouch! "Why did you stop Joey?" Yugi asks.
"Look up there. It looks like some kind of rocket." He says.
We all look up to see a rocket heading up toward space, or virtual space I should say. "Who do you think launched it?" Tea asks.
"Maybe the Big Five. Who else could it be?" I say.
Everyone shrugs. I notice that the robot monkey is scratching his head. He looks way too comfortable in Serenity's arms. "-Let's face it, I'm way cooler than that weirdo Duke Devlin." I hear Tristan's voice say.
"Did the monkey just say that?" Duke says.
The monkey continues to scratch his head, "-if I stay in this monkey too long, I may start even acting like one." It says again.
"Um… Tristan? Is that you in there?" Yugi asks.
"Did I just say that out loud?"
Joey gets up of the driver's seat and jumps up into the back and then grabs the robot monkey, "Shut up, you piece of scrap metal! Tell us where Tristan is!" he yells strangling it.
"Hey Joey, it's me Tristan!"
"Yeah right!"
"Maybe we should just throw him in the ocean. He's probably not trustworthy." I say.
"Hey now, d-don't do that!" the monkey says.
"Yeah, good idea Sabrina. How many points do I get if it shorts out?" Joey says getting into a pitching position with the monkey in his hand.
"No guys! What if it is Tristan? We have to keep him with us!" Serenity says.
Joey sighs, "Fine."
We find a rope near the front seat and tie the monkey to the back and make sure we all keep our distance. Joey gets back in the driver's seat and starts driving again. "Come on, it's me, Tristan, I swear!" the monkey yells.
"We're not going to take any chances." Duke says.
So we keep driving with the monkey ranting on and on about how he's Tristan. I almost want to believe him, but we can't take any chances here. So most of the time, Joey and Duke keep yelling at him to shut up, but it's not working. I really wish we left that monkey behind; this is starting to get annoying.
After a while, we still don't see anything useful, but Joey starts to slow down a second later, "Is that Kaiba dueling over there?" he asks.
We look up to see Kaiba dueling one of the Big Five in the form of Jinzo. The highway is broken between us, so we can't get to Kaiba. "Hey Kaiba!" Yugi shouts.
Kaiba turns around, "Yugi?" he says.
"Who are you dueling?"
"His name is Leichter. Now shut up, I have a duel to win."
Kaiba's Deck Master is Lord of D. The duel continues as Kaiba draws, "I activate Heavy Storm!"
"Well I activate Imperial Order to negate the effect of every magic card you play. And I only have to pay 700 Life Points per turn to keep it active." The Big Five member says, "And since I've drawn, I get 500 more Life Points due to Solemn Wishes. Then I use my Satellite Cannon to destroy your face-down monster!" Leichter says.
Kaiba draws, "I summon Spirit Ryu in attack mode. Spirit Ryu, attack his Injection Fairy Lily!"
"Have you forgotten her effect? By reducing my Life Points to 1400, I can give my Fairy Lily 3400 attack points. So say farewell Mr. Kaiba!"
"Not so fast, I activate Spirit Ryu's ability. He gains 1000 attack points for each dragon-type I discard from my hand and I have two. Now I only lose 400 Life Points. And now that your Life Points are low, I use my Twin-Headed Behemoth to destroy your Fairy Lily!"
Leichter is down to 800. "Now I gain Life Points due to Solemn Wishes and Life-Absorbing Machine. But I can't afford to lose 700 Life Points, so I'll destroy Imperial Order. Then I'll summon a monster in defense mode and then have my Satellite Cannon destroy your Twin-Headed Behemoth!"
Kaiba draws, "First I activate Pot of Greed, and then I summon Possessed Dark Soul in attack mode! Now I'll use him to attack your face-down monster!"
"Reveal Dreamsprite! It's effect allows me to redirect the attack at my Satellite Cannon, but your monster is too weak to even touch it. Then I take the Life Point boost from Solemn Wishes and end my turn."
Kaiba draws and then smirks, "First, I play a monster in defense mode. Now I'll use my Deck Master's special ability; with this I can pay 500 Life Points to conduct another normal summon this turn, so I sacrifice both of my monsters in order to call forth the Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Now my Blue-Eyes, destroy his Satellite Cannon and end this!"
Blue-Eyes flies above the clouds and goes to destroy the Cannon. The next thing we see is an explosion then sparks raining down near the dueling field. Kaiba wins! He then rushes up to Leichter, "Where's Mokuba!?" he demands.
"You'll never see your brother again! And the Big Five will come back for you, all of you, and we'll be stronger than ever!" Leichter says as he disappears.
Foreshadowing, it happens! Sabrina probably had some devious ideas in this chapter, but hey, it adds excitement or whatever. And yes, that is how Leichter is spelled in the anime.
