Seto's POV

I can feel my blood running cold as I watched Yuna jump into the freezing cold water of the Domino harbour as she desperately tried to save that idiot Wheeler and her own little brother.

Flashback

As we walked closer to the water, the helicopter's engine still running should we need it to make a quick escape, I got a bad feeling bubbling up in my stomach. Yuna and I both now have six locator cards, but it seems that Yugi's were stolen by our enemy when he was kidnapped. He said that it didn't matter because he only had two and the semifinals start in two and a half hours, so he wouldn't be able to join us anyway. I had reassured him that he will have access to the location as a guest, and I saw Yuna's approving smile, even though she hadn't wanted me to spot it.

When we reached the water, we saw Wheeler standing there, before he turned to us. We all gasped as we saw his almost lifeless eyes. The same lifeless eyes anyone under 'mind control' had! Yuna and I had discussed about how these people got affected and came to a conclusion. Seeing how a strange sound is always heard before they start being controlled, we decided that the ear piece emits just the right frequency to knock a person into an unconscious state, but only to some degree. The person can still move according to someone's instructions and can most definitely hear because Marik and Malik then use the ear piece to give commands, and a microphone so the could be heard at the same time as their 'puppet' speaks. What I don't understand is why someone would go through all that trouble when they can just do it themselves, but that's not my problem.

But now with Yugi's new 'friend' in their clutches, things are turning really pathetic for us. Just then Gardner comes from some ship, her eyes also having that same look in them as the two of them explain that we can have them both back if Yuna can defeat the mind controlled Joey in a duel. They led us to a set up 'arena' where both shackled their ankles that were connected to an anchor with chains, the keys in boxes at their feet. The person who loses will be pulled into the sea. But there was also a timer they have to beat, eithr both of them will be pulled to the depths of the sea. And Tea ... She seated herself into a chair and allowed a Rare Hunter to tie her up under a huge construction bolder that was held by a crane. As soon as she was secure, she seems to have been released and she started panicking, yelling at Joey and Yuna to stop with the sick duel. It seems that she was our own shackle since should we try to stop the duel the bolder will fall onto her, and I will not disappoint Yuna. I'll show her that I can hold off the darkness long enough for her to forever banish it from my heart. My darkness, created by one Gozaboro Kaiba, only cared about destroying Yuna in a duel, and so it didn't care what happens to anyone else beside Mokuba of course. But I knew that Yuna values life, so I try to do so as well.

As the duel continued, Joey used more and more illegal cards and I couldn't do a thing to stop him as he blew more and more of Yuna's LP away. There was also some ten minutes left on the timer, and with every second, Yugi and Tea were getting more paranoid. Mokuba was worried sick, too, but he was trying hard not to panic so he wouldn't lose his mind.

And then it hit me. A way to save Gardener and stop this sick duel.

Just as Mai Valentine, Tristan Taylor, Duke Devlin and what I could only guess was Wheeler's sister, Serenity, by the eye bandages, got to our location and ran towards us, all I could think as I drew the top card of my deck was:''Please, let it not be one of them!'', and then cursed when I saw the card. It was my Blue-Eyes White Dragon. But I threw it none the less and it hit the guy in the hand in which he was holding the remote control and he dropped. Then, the helicopter that took us here took to air just as the guy reached the remote and tried to press the release button but I was quicker and knocked him out as the helicopter hit the bolder and the whole crane fell into the sea as the remote fell on it's control panel and the release button was hit, freeing the bolder into the sea.

Tea started thanking me and praying to God to bless my soul, but I ignored her. I turned just in time to see Yuna summon her own Blue-Eyes White Dragon to stand right next to Red-Eyes Black Dragon, something never seen before and attacked Wheeler, who seemed to be fighting Marik and Malik off in the light of his sister and friends being there for him, and his LP reached 0 giving Yuna a few seconds to undo her shackles. Yugi was by Joey's side in seconds as they together tried to open the box to his salvation by force, but the timer was up. Yuna had managed to escape, but Wheeler and Yugi were still holding onto the chain as it started sinking, reflexes making them hold on tighter instead of letting go.

Soon, the cold, blue sea swallowed them both, their friends all yelling out their names and getting ready to jump in as Yuna beat them to it. Taking off her duel disk and jacket, her belt that usually held her whole deck and now only holding Slifer had been taken off before as a condition of the duel, and she kicked open the box, took the key and jumped into the water after her brother and his new friend.

Now, all we can do is watch. Yugi had been brought back to the surface by Yuna, but she immediately went back under for Wheeler, and a few minutes later he was out, just as Yugi had been pulled up on deck by Duke and Tristan, who was in the water and instantly by the Mutt's side. They all cheered, not noticing that the one who had saved them both was still not surfacing until Mokuba, Yugi and I asked in one voice:

''Where's Yuna?''

That shut them up for a minute and then Yugi raced to the side of the deck and yelled out

''YUNA!''

Yugi's POV

I watched as they all started searching for my older twin sister, only Mai by my and Joey's side, and my heart felt heavier with every second that they searched. Seto had been the first to dive into the freezing water, only taking off his coat and duel disk but he couldn't see her, and it was getting darker by the minute. Mokuba had found some flashlights and the helicopter had turned on it's night light, but it was no use. Now, even Tristan and Duke were in the water searching for her, Tea, Mokuba and Serenity lighting the water up for them a little.

Joey was saying apologies, non stop, saying it was all his fault to the point that Mai had to hit him on the head to make him stop. He did, eventually, but I was the only one who knew just how serious the situation was. Because I have seen it as she was preparing to dive into the freezing depths once again so she could save my new friend.

Her eyes were glazed over, a vision had been slowly taking her over.

And now,... I'm not sure that whatever we do will save her!

However, I have seen that Slifer seems to have been ... glowing, for some time now. I am sure that it's just my imagination, but it seems that the God cards and Yuna are somehow connected, she always believed that the DM cards have souls as well. . So, I'm taking comfort from it that she is still alive at the very least.

For how long, is the question now.

Yuna's POV

I'm not sure how long that vision has lasted, or how I got to the rock I'm now sitting on, but it was quite darker and colder than it was the last time I was aware of my surroundings. Not far from here, I could hear frantic voices calling out my name and yelling at each other how stupid they were. I recognised Seto's voice insulting the oter voices and telling them to get back to looking, making me chuckle.

I saw a good place where I could climb out of the water and swam over there then climbed out, walking over to the voices. I saw Tea, some girl I don't know and Mokuba pointing flashlights into the water, where I saw Tristan, Duke and Seto swimming around, searching in the depths for something. Beside the girls, and Mokuba, Joey stood, looking ready to jump in with Yugi and Mai telling him that he had had enough swimming for the day. I walk over to them, noticing that Yugi was wearing my jacket, and asked:''What are you guys doing?''

Joey jumped into the water in fright and everyone yelled in surprise, just gawking at me.

''What?'' They just continued staring, and before I knew it I was almost thrown of balance and into the water below by Yugi, Mai and Mokuba, hugging the life out of me! I was unable to even hug back, seeing as they haven't planned to let me. Or maybe they didn't want me to be able to move away from them.

But, just as quickly as I was drawn into their embrace, I was literally snatched away from it and someone else wrapped their arms around me. And I know just who it is. How can I not? I nuzzle the neck of my greatest rival and closest friend, not to mention my secret crush, allowing Seto to hold me as long as he wants. I saw Yugi mouthing that he was the first to jump after me, and it warmed my heart, knowing that he still cares for me. I wrapped my arms around him, as much as I could , seeing as how he was holding me like he will never let go. He only tightened his grip on my body and drew me closer, burying his face into my still wet hair. We are both dripping wet and rather cold, but I can't really feel it. With Seto's arms around me, I felt like I was experiencing a part of heaven.

I could stay like this forever.

Seto's POV

With Yuna now safely in my arms, my heart feels lighter and my body temperature seems to be coming back to normal. I know that there is a dark danger iin my soul, thanks to Gozaboro and my hatred for the man, but Yuna is my Light of Hope and she very easily chases the darkness away, saving my soul in the process.

And I'll do anything to keep her safe!

After a while longer, I finally let her go, but only for a few seconds. I just grabbed my trench coat and then wrapped her up in it, before hugging her again. I have sent the pilot to get us some dry clothes and he soon returned with them. We changed in the copter, then Mokuba and I flew away to the destination of the semifinals, or from where we will start them. Yuna and Yugi decided to walk, wanting to get to know the geek squad better.

I don't mind.

I'm just glad that the critically fatal situation is finally over, with everybody being ok and safe.

I had no idea how screwed up things were going to get.
