Sorry for not updating in a while, things have come up. Anyway another chapter of this story done for this story. This will be about trying to rescue Tristan and the last bit of a duel, sorry if it is confusing and short.. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Harry was sure that one of the big five now had Tristan's body even though Nisbett lost the duel. He felt awful because if they had done something sooner, Tristan would still be with them. Duke didn't seem to care that Tristan was gone, in fact he had a smug look on his face. Harry noticed him glancing every so othen looking at Serenity. He instinctively wraped his arm around her, she looked at him.

"Harry..."

"Duke's been looking at you like a creep would" said Harry, causing her to pull him closer to her, not that he minded that. Harry also noticed the look on Joey's face indicating that he heard that too. Fortunately for Duke, Tea and Yugi were holding Joey back as he looked like he was about to kill him.

They continued to walk around the virtual world as he thought about rescuing Tristan, he may have not liked the guy but he didn't deserve what he got. He was that way until he was tapped on the shoulder. He looked up to see that it was Tea who had tapped him. He didn't know what to say or do.

"Harry what's wrong?"

"I was thinking" said Harry

"about what?"

"Rescuing Tristan" said Harry, everyone turned to look at him. No one had an idea of where he was or how to rescue him and that showed on their faces. Well everyone except for Duke who still had the same look on his face. "By the way Duke, you could wipe that look of your face, if not for him you would be where he is now."

That did it, as his smile turned into a frown. It was clear that all three of them liked Serenity and would do anything to win her over, at least Duke and Tristan would. Harry knew that it would only cause them to clash and burn.

"What about rescue him?"

"Well I am still trying to figure that out" said Harry before going back to thinking about rescuing Tristan when the others popped into his head.

' I wonder how the others are doing?' thought Harry looking towards the sky worried about Sirius. Joey had a similar look and Harry knew that he was worried about Mai. Where ever the others were, hopefully the were okay.

Mai screamed as the next attack hit her, shortly after arriving in the virtual world she was challenged to a duel by a penguin of all things. It turned that it was one of the big five named Crump who was looking for a way out and she was it. She thought it would be cake to beat him, she had underestimated him. She currently had lost half of her life points.

"Soon I will win" said Crump

Crump: 2900

Mai: 1500

"This duel is far from over" said Mai hoping that her next turn would give her a card she could use to turn the duel around. She drew, it wasn't the card she was hoping for but it could help at the moment.

"I summon Dunames Dark Witch in attack mode"

"Like that monster can do any good" sneered Crump

"After I activate this it will" said Mai playing a spell card that increased her monsters by 500.

"What? That means-"

"That means it will be stronger then your monster" said Mai "Attack"

"Next turn it will be over" said Crump

Crump: 2600

Mai: 1200

"I place a card face down to end my turn" said Mai 'It will help but also be a down fall if I'm not careful'

"I play a card face down and end my turn" said Crump 'She'll fall into my trap.'

"My turn" said Mai drawing before smiling "I play Harpie's feather duster"

"No"

"Yep you can kiss you're face down goodbye. I will call my Harpie Lady to the field and both my monster will attack"

Crump: 0

Mai: 1200

Crump disappeared leaving Mai alone who was happy that she won that duel. She didn't want to admit it but that was one of her toughest duel. She hoped that she wouldn't have to duel another one of them for the next one would probably be worse then Crump. She hoped that other were okay especially Joey.

'Where to go now?' thought Mai before a door appeared

'I guess that would work' thought Mai before opening the door

Next thing she knew she was standing in a field, it was a weird but beautiful sight. She looked around before noticing people in the distance. She waited until they got closer before realized that it was Yugi and his group.

"Hey"

"Mai, you're okay" said Joey rushing over to her causing Harry to shake his head

"Of course although after a duel with one of those creeps could change one's idea of safe"

"So you too" said Harry deciding to continue due to the confused look on Mai's face "One of the big five"

"Yes"

"We had to duel one of them as well" said Harry before looking down "We won but at the same time we failed, they got Tristan"

"How? Wouldn't he go after you?" asked Mai looking at Harry knowing that he was a duelist.

"At first he wanted to duel Serenity-"

"What?" shouted Joey

"But I managed to convince him to duel me instead then Duke and Tristan decided to join in. By the way Duke duels he was lucky Tristan did what he did"

"what did he do?"

"Have his deck master take the attack"

"But that means" started Mai

"yep he lost so that meant he lost his body so one of the big five are walking around with his body" said Harry while sending a glare towards Duke.

"You're the one who accepted the duel" said Duke noticing the glare

"Because I knew what I was doing. I was the duelist of the group not you, not Tristan. You two went too far by joining the duel."

"Too far at what?" asked Tea confused. Harry sighed he didn't want to say in in front of Joey for he knew that he would kill Tristan and Duke. In fact he was scared for what Joey would do to him if he found out that he liked Serenity as well.

"They tried to duel to impress Serenity" said Harry

"What?" shouted Joey as he tried to hurt Duke but Tea and Yugi held him back.

"Let me at him" shouted Joey. Harry was pretty sure that the same would happen to him if he found out.

"Guys this is not going to help us rescue Tristan" said Yugi as he held Joey. That seemed to calm things down for a bit. Harry sighed, them fighting was not going to help them in fact that could be their downfall if they were not careful.
